CELCOM VERSUS MAXIS CUSTOMER SERVICE

If for some reason you forgot to update your CELCOM handphone payment and your hp is barred, and you made the payment online via CIMBCLICKS, DO NOT expect your handphone to be instantly re-connected!!!

I logged on www.celcom.com.my to check the outstanding amount to make the necessary payment to the mobile number that has been barred and the following screen appeared:










Having received the amount to pay, I clicked on the "Pay Now" symbol to make the necessary payment.

The next screen then displayed the option to either pay full or to pay "Other amount". I click on "pay full", select "Saving/Current Account (FPX)" and then I click "Continue" on next screen to confirm the payment amount and to proceed to the next step.

At the next screen, I select CIMBCLICKS as the Internet Banking Account preference and proceeded by clicking "Agree and Continue". A CIMBCLICKS pop up window appeared and I requested for TAC, select 'banking account' to make payment and all transaction is done and completed. A payment receipt was then displayed which detailed out the payment date & time at 12/05/2011 22:00:37, the Account Holder's name, Account Number, Mobile Number, Amount Due, Total Amount paid, Approval Code, Transaction Type, Reference Number and Mode of Payment.

HIS EXCELLENCY OKHNA MONG RETHTHY VISIT TO MALAYSIA

We had the pleasure having H.E. Okhna Dr Mong Reththy at our house for breakfast this morning. We befriended H.E. Okhna Dr Mong in Phnom Pehn, Cambodia which I blogged in March 2011 at HERE. I have nothing but admiration for the self made man whom first visited Malaysia by driving a truck from Phnom Pehn to Kuala Lumpur in more than 2 weeksjourney. Dr Mong wrote a book of his life journey but unfortunately, its written in Khmer. However, his brief history is available at HERE, achievement at HERE and his company background at HERE.

I brought Dr Mong Reththy whom was in Malaysia for a 4 days working trip to meet and introduced to our Group Chairman cum my father at our residence.

Dr Mong Reththy came with his second son Mong Chantan whom is expected to be a father in less than a month. His son Mong Chantan is incharge of his father's port and rubber plantation. Dr Mong Reththy has 3 sons and 2 daughter. All of them except for the youngest son are all married. Dr Mong children has given him 8 grandchildren. Dr Mong Reththy is not only successful as a businessman but also as a father.

CHIEF'S BU-ALPHA & DH-ZULU SESSION 6: RACING WITH A1 RACER!!

Equipped with 3 hours of sleep, a cup of coffee,  15 ounces  of HEMORAGE Black Ultra concentrated pre-workout drink and HALLS mint sweet, I arrived for the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTACMP 6th May 2011 session very early at 5:40am... okaay not so very early but still early.

I quickly noticed Adriano Abila was absent together with Aisham Amir Hisyam, Anuar, Arif Zikir Azizi, Audrey Fong, Azlin, Cindy Yeo, Danial Nassurudin, Danny (Vinod), Dhiya Hazwani Samsudin, Effie, Evonne Yap, Fazli, FREDA LIU, Gareth Yeoh, Hafiz, Hana, Jasjeet, Jazreen JOHN CHUAH, Mabel Cheong, Mohd Fazli Mohd Sarujee, Mohd Noor Al-Hafiz Mohd Nordin, Prabu Premilia Rajanatman, Rajen Dorairaj, Raven Siew Keong Fong, Suraya, TOH SHEAR LING, Tom and Vinothan Danny Ebinesan. ALmost a quarter of those registered for May went AWOL...

I think they think we do not noticed them but we spot every recruit that attended the session with us. Also spotted LIZZA ABDUL RAHIM enthusiastically came but forgotten to bring her training shoe and had to workout barefooted!!! ....and I finally met the much-talked-about (by the ladies) Nabil Jeffri... The person who broke JAMES FONG's best kept record in Benchmark Assessment and also the person whom girls ladies were drooling over the 8 pack abs?? Anyway, our session began with Corporal (COBC) Chun taking command of the platoon's warming up session and immediately after the warming up session, Sarge (COBC) Dann divided the platoon into their respective section namely Delta, Seal and Ranger.

4 May 2011. Chief's session at Damansara Heights was rocking high on its 5th session although the weather has recently been less friendly. 80% of more than 40 recruits that register for COBC-DH was present and a few from COBC-Bandar Utama was seen doing 'double' session a day!!! Kiasu..? You bet! It all started with the trainers themselves.

Some trainers did 3 sessions on labour day 1 May 2011.... Today, Sarge (COBC) Dann and Corporal (COBC) Nawal and Corporal (COBC) Chun did 3 sessions again. Mind you, instructors at COBC workout with recruit and do not just stood still bossing the recruits around.

CHIEF BOOTCAMP MAY '11 SESSION 4.

Waking up at 5am to workout at the CHIEF's ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP (COBC) 3 times a week should get easier after err....  23 months/256 sessions/256 hours since we first started almost two years ago but it did not. This morning, waking up at 5am was short of a disaster. Somehow that extra one hour sleep before sunrise felt so luxurious... heaven!! Being under the duvet in an 18 degree aircond cold breeze was so ... Oh gawd.... indescribable BUT the bootcamp call was even more powerful! Nothing feels better than to start the day with at least 500 calories burn, the motivating scream of Otai recruits and the inspiring drive of Sarge Dann was too irresistable! I quickly jumped out of bed at 5:10am after 'snoozing' the alarm clock 5 times.

I arrived punctual at 5:45am after ramming the Maserati pedal and was in a great relief thinking I had 'deprived' other recruits from a sexier legs being the 'reward' for late-comers but I was sabotaged!!! Everybody ended up with a sexier toner legs when there were 4 'late-comers'!!!! (highlighted in bold- NOT because of ME ya! *wink bluwek).

(CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE)

22 April 2011 was the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP's final trial session at Damansara Heights. The first session saw many recruits being introduced to various forms of workout. The second trial session introduced recruits to some of the 'toys' used while working out and today' s session was the orgasm of the trial! We introduced them to the Battling ROPES... and supposedly TRX.. but it was too muddy and flooded for TRX that we had to give it a miss.

CHIEF'S FRIDAY MADNESS AT BANDAR UTAMA ALPHA & BRAVO PLATOON

We ended the last session in April with the FRIDAY MADNESS!!! A war cry was issued late yesterday for everybody to gather at Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) park for a high intensity explosive workout.

This was to spice up our workout, burn mega calories and to give our poor field at Bandar Utama BU3/1 a rest.  Everybody gathered as early as 5:30am for a scheduled battle at 5:45am. Everybody was so excited to be working out under the moon light... err or maybe under the street light. TGI Friday??? OMG it Friday Madness!!

CHIEF'S SECOND TRIAL SESSION AT DAMANSARA HEIGHTS

After working our under a heavy downpour this morning at BU-Alpha, I wished DH-Zulu trial session at Damansara Heights too had that pleasure of training in the rain... not for anything else but because I want them to feel what I had to endure this morning especially to those BU recruits whom thought they can escape the rain this morning.

True enough... my wish came true!! It rain and the field was flooded at the second CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, at Damansara Heights' trial session today. After happily overslept and escape the heavy-rain 5:45am alpha platoon session at Bandar Utama, this women Shear Ling Toh came to Damansara Heights, DH-Zulu Platoon with an umbrella!! AN UMBRELLA!!! Can you beat that? Someone came to DH-ZULU for bootcamp using an umbrella...... With us today, we had Super Kiasu Joannita Zaleha Yusoff, Shy-Guy Noor A. Othman, Mek Chan Meng Yam, Chiing LING Shear Ling, Lizza Abdul Rahim, Mt Kinabalu Climber Fatintafrina Mohd Tareh, Jeremy Liew, Jun King, Lilian Lee, Mariam, Shaz Sabri, Noraa etc...

CHIEF'S SESSION IN THE RAIN AT BANDAR UTAMA

(*Pics from library and internet)

Rain, Hail or Shine.... public holiday, weekdays or weekend.. training at the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP was never halted and stopped. Infact, instructors without any remorse were there at the training field as early as 5am. Me.. I arrived 2 minutes before the roll-call Phewww...

Its been awhile since we last had our session under a good downpour in a muddy football field and that was today's special!! a good shower & mud spa!! but what was lacking was a good massage... Why? because today's session aches the legs, abs, shoulder and chest with the Crazy Arse Complexes Focus!!! Uuh say what? yes you heard it right, we had the Crazy Arse Complexes Focus that began with a focus in LEGS!!
