COBC SEPTEMBER 2011 ACE OF BASS & SOB

Everymonth, there will be a vote for the SPIRIT OF BOOTCAMP for each and every platoon at the Chief's Original Bootcamp. The vote is to pick recruit with the best Spirit that motivates and inspired us to give our best commitment and effort into achieving the best result from our training especially when some of us were... err sleep-exercising? It can be any comrade in your platoon but not the instructors and/or COBC administration team. The voting usually starts on the fourth week of the month until before the next graduation. We want to recognize that energetic, hyper, inspirational Spirit that becomes the Culture at the Chief's bootcamp to bring out the best in every recruit.

At the Chief's bootcamp too, we recognise every struggles and effort to be consistent and to be discipline at exercising! For that we designed the 100% Attendance, 100% Commitment and 110% Effort Certificate that speaks for itself. Habits whether good or bad is developed when it is being repeated for approximately 8 Weeks. Thus, let us build this consistency and discipline in exercising by ACE'ing every monthly session Rain, Hail or Shine!! There is no better investment than to invest in a great sexy body, great fitness and especially in a great health. Sickness and illness knows no boundary!! Prevention is by no means better than cure... Dr Malek Aziz and me are two living evidence! ...for now.

With that, we are pleased to first recognize those that had sweat out, attend and exercise consistently for 12 full sessions in the month of September at COBC Bandar Utama Alpha Platoon, Bandar Utama Bravo Platoon, Subang Jaya USJ1 Alpha Platoon, Subang Jaya USJ1 Bravo platoon, Damansara Heights Zulu platoons as follows:

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)  We belong to ALLAH swt and to him we shall return.

Death seems to be very friendly nowadays and befriended many within my circle. Within less than a quarter in a year, I lost an aunt, a cancer-comrade, a grandmother-in law and yesterday a running-comrade Kharis Idris or more fondly known as TSB or Tuan Senang Besar on facebook and Boboi by family members and close friends. I shall referred him as TSB here since that was his preferred nick on cyber. He left us yesterday,14 October 2011 very early in the morning leaving behind a beautiful wife and a daughter aged 4 years old. TSB was my neighbor for the longest of time at SS3/80 before we all left for Sungai Penchala. His parent's house was almost the opposite of mine and we always went on Mercun war during hari raya.

Although I do not know TSB in great details but TSB shared similar passion with me in many ways from blogging to running. He was a blogger at HERE. We were both PJ boys and of course went to the best school (in PJ) at the  Bukit Bintang Boys School (BBBSS) and we were both a smoker (err.. but I've stopped for already 13 months but he was still a chimney). The passion that we also shared passionately was in running!! We tend to bump into each other more in running competitions than we would when we were neighbours. If there was one feature that was prominent in TSB, it must be his friendly smile that was sort of built into him. He would be all smiley and friendly anytime of the day even when we were struggling up a hill during one of the running competition.

COBC: 6/12 THE CENTURIAN!!

OH F#@k!!! My platoon is going to kill me!! its 5:30pm and I'm still poopoo'ing.. Aiiks too much information and I have not brushed my teeth or shaved yet. Oh heck.. No one is going to know! ....and there I was punctual at 5:42pm!!! At 5:45pm, Sarge (COBC) Dann started the 'show'!! We had group sex trx... Team Alpha that comprised of the Delta & Strong Seals began with back workout with the TRX! Okay.. rewind abit.. was abit excited with adrenaline overdose!!

Session began with the conventional warming up and stretching which I was peeping to find Ankur Pandey whom was always at the 'other' end but he was missing!! along with the UNCLE JOHN CHUAH!!! I told ya.... whenever the 2 J's.. James Fong and Joe Liew is around.. Uncle John Chuah will happily overshot in wonderland. Then I peeped for a Mohamad Fazli's 'BICYCLE'.. also was missing with John Chuah and Ankur Pandey. With the 2 J's, I quietly went to Seal but was caught by Sarge (COBC) Dann!! ARMIN GO BACK TO DELTA WITH JAMES!! Alamak!!

The platoon was divided into 3 sections, team Alpha, Bravo and Charlie and Team Alpha began with the TRX for 100 repetitions led by Sarge (COBC) Dann!!! Team Bravo with Corporal (COBC) Tom and Team Charlie had Corporal (COBC) Chun!!!

EVERYTHING TODAY was for nothing less than 100 repetitions.. why??? err... why not? but why else.. it was purely to get some multiple gratification... aka multiple orgasm! How? by igniting all the major muscles in the body!! The TRX first focused on the upper back muscle with 100 repetitions, then we went to Corporal (COBC) Tom to workout the Deltoid aka Shoulder for 100 repetitions too with Mock Rifle!!! Then we went to Corporal (COBC) Chun for the killer leg..... ONE HUNDRED REPETITIONS too before a short burst of 150 meter walking sprinting!! and we went back for the TRX for 100 repetition of bicep workout and ran to Corporal Tom for 100 repetition of another deltoid workout and went to Corporal Chun for .. uWaa... 100 repetitions of LEG!! I asked Corporal (COBC) Chun for some discount but this Korean celebrity look Malaysian instructor worked out with me instead making sure my forms and counting were perfect. After the 100 reps, we sprinted and went to Sarge (COBC) Dann for killer 100 reps of Killer Abs workout!! My favourite!! Corporal (COBC) Tom continue to raped our shoulder with yet another 100 reps for Deltoid.

Everything went on for a few sets of each circuit with a different muscle group being worked out. Shortly later, Sarge (COBC) Dann cried out, Kenix Lim & Leesa Tan, you may go now..???!! haaa.. the two babes was given 15 minutes discount? not fair!

The funniest feedback received today was from Colin Chong Wern Loong...

Today's Centurian was really unexpected but that is what COBC is all about.. the unexpected!! With all the 100 repetitions I cannot help but to I feel abit like.. err.. Brad Pitt?

HOOYAH!!!

COBC 4/12: ALL IN A DAY...

Nothing starts the day better than a damn good workout in the morning!!! If you don't believe me.. than ask... err me!! bluwek.. But seriously, the best stimulant to ignite the day is a hot juicy calorie free Adrenaline and a good pouring sweat with a bunch of lunatics recruits. When I saw Kenix Lim and Leesa Tan this morning.. I know we will be in trouble! When I saw Uncle John Chuah in Vibram 5 finger.. I know its a disaster! When I did not see James Fong & Chan Meng Yam.. I knew its a confirmed trouble! No wonder Ankur Pandey is always forever with the ladies.. he got that extra motivation!! Maybe I should try his technique on Friday. The ratio at COBC gentlemen:ladies at 1:4 speaks for it self.... There are more ladies than men at the COBC... At COBC.. men is like.... special edition? hahahaa Once at BU-Bravo platoon, Raja Affandi Jamaludin was the only 'rose' amongst the torns! but he blends in well with his hair longer than the majority of the ladies.

And there is no better instructor to make us run than Corporal (COBC) Chun!!! and Sarge (COBC) Dann!!! Sarge (COBC) Dann is like a German Shephard... when he chase you...... you better start praying!!! I saw how Rienna Choo & Freda Liu run like a walk in the park while Dr Malek Aziz and my heart almost popped out! Shear Ling Toh too!!! Was flying but all those recruit could not rival the chief warga emas Uncle John Chuah. I think it must be his Vibram 5 finger.. but he was flying too fast.

ITS PARTY TIME!!!!

Within less than a month, COBC recruits conquered the Berlin Intertnational Marathon... conquered the River Kwai, Thailand International Marathon, conquered the Mount Kinabalu and conquered the heart of another recruit with a marriage proposal. Recently too, we conquered our will power to enroll, attend and never give up during our training sessions at the oldest military inspired bootcamp in the whole wide world. This must be celebrated with at least a Makansutra feast!! I mean.. a get-together and what better theme to choose than Halloween!! WHy.. because deep down.. we are all hantu!! Hantu durian, hantu cendol, hantu yada yada ....

Then again... As Dr Malek Aziz always say... who needs a reason to partay?!! Lets just party!!! Past, presents, future recruits, if you havent registered for the party!! Please click HERE now!! When?

COBC: OCT 3/12 RELAYS RUN RAGGED

Historic... arrived so early at 5:38am.. damn!! ...err Pheww!! Stoppedby 7/11 store and bought some sweets (in case of hypoglycemic) but hoping to give some late-comers-angpaw-punishment to fellow BU-Alpha comrades but it didn't workout. At 5:40am, Sarge Dann called all recruits for a roll-call and somehow, either it was too dark or my eye was playing trick but I did not see John Chuah.. I think we can now crown him the FFK-King but the alternate-King James Fong was present!! With Yam Chan SiuCheh... Waa.. alongside Otai Rienna Choo, Otai freda Liu and dozens of others. Our 8WC Challenger Mohamad Fazli is the biggest Loser thusfar!! I mean biggest weight loser!! Others were gaining momentum too. Even the instructors were looking leaner and meaner! Speaking of which, today Sarge (COBC) Dann was assisted by Corporal (COBC) Tom and Lance Corp (COBC) Suresh for the Relay Run Ragged circuit!! So we had 3 in a team relay and the sub-two-hour 21km runner James Fong must be in my team Grrr... but fortunately we had a doctor in the house!! Dr Malek Aziz was the third member in our team.

With Dr Malek Aziz in Point-A, me at Point C, the third team-mate James Fong had to sprint from point A to Point B and while the runner sprinted, those at Point-A and Point-B performed stationary workout.

The stationary workout focuses on Back muscle, Shoulder, legs and Abs. There were 12 different workout prepared for Point A and Point C while the sprinting was alternated with Bear Crawl, Long Jump and hop. This was the second time I wore my suede leather Vibram five finger to bootcamp and I have to be honest.... VFF was made for bootcamp!! Damn good shoe..

THE CAMBODIA SAGA... UNTOLD STORY PART 1

I have been keeping abreast of the Cambodia latest scandal unveiled when Senate President Samdech Akka Moha Thomak Photisal Chea Sim's Chief of Body Guard was detained for illegal possession of arms. Further to that, two of the Senate President's Advisers were arrested together with a former Cabinet member and the latest arrest of the Samdech President's Chief of Protocol. Observing the so called 'Freedom of Press' in Cambodia especially from the Cambodia Daily, the paper that pride itself for reporting "All News Without fear and favor" as its tagline, I could not help but to think of a similar tagline maybe for..... err the Malay Mail? ...Datuk Ahirudin Atan alias Rocky Bru? We have been denying to comment on any media although the Cambodia Daily and Phnom Pehn Post had both written to me but since the facts of the story was twisted of sort and to some extend manipulated ("Freedom of Press?"), I have to correct some facts (at least from a foreign investor's point of view) from that written in both media.

1) Letter of Award issued to our company was not a fraud.  It was signed under the Senate's letterhead, signed by the Senate President and sealed with the Senate's Red emblem. As stated in the Court report (referred to the Cambodia Daily), the Senate President was tricked to signed the Letter of Award by its most trusted Generals, Adviser, Chief Protocol or whoever. Whether he was tricked or otherwise, who would question the authenticity of any document signed by the Country's Senate President especially when the Senate is the Upper House of the Parliament (in Cambodia) with legislative power (see write-up below or click here for more information on the Senate of Cambodia) as oppose to Malaysia, which the Upper House only review legislatures passed by Parliament. The Letter of Award is as good as any other contract. (CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE)

COBC: OCT 2/12 - PB!

Personal Best PB @ 55 minutes !! Excellent achievement!! It was first 1 hour 35 minutes, then 1 hour 15 minutes and so forth and today beat my own record in High Intensity Interval Cleaning (HIIC)!! Aye aye.. yes... 4000 sq ft (ground floor only) vacuum & mop, throw all rubbish from all rooms, wash the dishes, 2 loads of  laundry wash & dry-up, make up beds, wash the toilet, make fresh vegetable juice and shower!! So wonderful is life without maid.. Raja Affandi dont laugh! Such is Morning routine on non-bootcamp days!! Morning HIIC .. early cardio! 515 calories burn without any 30 seconds break at all.

This could not rival but suffice as a recovery workout from the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP training program. Yesterday's 1st session after Monday's benchmark assessment was exhilarating!! Too good but the cost of being absent from a few sessions of bootcamping (due to travelling) is the overall aching especially the chest, legs, shoulder and abs from yesterday TABATA!! TERBAKAR!!! and GRINDERS!!

Coincidentally, while blogging on this whole body aching pain, an email came in from bootcamp comrade Tricia Ling whom is enjoying the same aches that was probably due to the lack of past exercising. What did we do? We had the leaner and more toned (Waaaa lawan tokey!!) Sarge Dann and Corporal Tom as our instructors!! After a heart-exploding (yes thats how it felt like after missing bootcamp for a week) warm up, our platoon was divided into team Alpha and team Bravo. I was sandwich by Super Seal Uncle John Chuah and Alice, and was facing Shear Ling Toh whom was on the opposite rank with Taj Mahal, Adibah Mohamad. Mohamad Fazli whom has lost 6kg from the 8WC was in my team too and was beside Farhanah Bamadhaj.

ITS BEEN A YEAR!! .... WITHOUT HER!

Last year on 21 September 2010 I ended my 20 years of relationship with her... of course I blogged about it at HERE but never did I thought that it was possible because we were so attached!!! I would have her the soonest I woke up, immediately after food, while drinking, before sleep, at work!!! in the Car!!! at the hotel, home, by the swimming pool, on the rooftop, on the couch, sofa, dining table, kitchen table.. anywhere was good!! Such was life with cigarette but really... life is so much better without Her!! Infact, I seriously could not imagine how I can smoke 3 packs a day before!

I quit smoking with Azhar Sulaiman!! and along the way, the smoke-free-bandwagon grEw bigger with Kamsani Ahmad, Joe Liew Law Yoong, Zaiem Razak, Shear Ling Toh, John Chuah, James Fong and a few others. Unfortunately... they all quit the smoking-free instead. Everyone went back to their Ciggie!!

CAMBODIA DAILY

Four top officials in Cambodia Senate President Samdech Akka Moha Thomak Pothisal Cheasim inner circle was arrested and reference was made to my blog in the Cambodia Daily (see picture below).

My picture with the Senate President Samdech Akka Moha Thomak Pothisal Chea Sim too was published in the Cambodia english media. Further to that, a few emails was send by James Welsh, the Managing Editor of the Cambodia Daily which I am not at liberty to reply to avoid any misunderstanding, misrepresentation and/or to avoid interfering with an ongoing investigation.

However, pursuant to various communication with the Cambodia Senate officials, we were confirmed that  the four Top Senior Officials arrested WERE NOT arrested for any investment involving our company and we are not aware nor are we the Malaysian company that had invested the USD$500million in the alleged scandal.

IS IT REALLY SINFUL?

There are many sins that is just simply irresistible and err.... really hard to say NO to! Some cannot say no to gambling whether its on football, black jack, poker or chor tai tee and some cannot say no to women... especially those young sexy, lean and beautiful. Some cannot say NO alcohol be it beer, wines, whisky or rum and some just cannot say no gossiping... I can say NO to all of them accept... err... yaa.. Durian. Alamak...

So how sinful is Durian...?

Being a little concerned of this irresistible sin, I did some reading and bild research to discover...

1. Durian acts as a blood cleanser. Durian contains organo sulfur which are known to inhibit platelet aggregation which is one of the first steps in the formation of blood cloths that occlude coronary or cerebral arteries, leading to heart attack or strokes. After eating Durian, the cells are free flowing and are clotting much less.

2. Durian avoids and relieves constipation (fiber). Durian is rich in fiber, an important nutrient which absorbs water and expands in the digestive tract to gently and effectively speed up the process of moving bulk through the system. No wonder I rarely bowel problem.

NEW BOOTCAMP @ ORCHARD ROAD, SINGAPORE

Arriving late in Singapore for the weekend after a week in Cambodia, I could not help but to pay Orchard road a visit. The Singapore most visited high street that always left a pinch in anyone's pocket was congested with tourists as always which was not at all surprising given it was the Singapore F1 weekend. However, what caught my attention was the 'solo-workout' by a 70 year old man that was frequently featured by the local media for his eccentric exercise.

I could not resist to try out the exercise which he claimed could give you a hot ass (Chan Meng Yam!!!). He first demonstrated the technique as follows:

From the waist, he wiggled the thingy to his neck and back to his waist again....

A FRIENDLY GHOST?

I think I had recently befriended a ghost... I do not know if its a she or he, pretty or handsome but I am assuming the best.. I think she's a young pretty & sexy ghost. I feel she has been following me all my life but had significantly become more active lately. Yesterday, she hide my office keys and I had to call Noreen Yusoff, PEDA executive secretary to get her to open my office door. The night before as I reached home after a good dinner with Aaraf, the ghost, maybe wanting attention, hid my e-Cigarette and I had to spend half the night searching for it.

Yesterday, I brought along my Tag Heuer glass for servicing at the Curve then went to the ATM to withdrew some cash and was almost hypnotized by her to leave home without the glass. She even hide my shorts that I was about to packed to leave for oversea in the afternoon. Then, I almost missed my flight when the ghost hide my passport as I was about to checked in at the Airport!!! Aaaaargh...

8 WEEK CHALLENGE 2011- part 1

There is no better time to participate in Australia's most seek after dietary program than now!! Why?

(1) Because we have been on MAKANSutra for the past.. err 2 weeks for the Eid Mubarak (Hari Raya) celebration!! Actually, it was not because we want to break our diet but it is actually customary and polite to try out and eat every meal that was served during open houses (make believe).

(2) Because the food for this year's diet was localise to Asian taste!! Yes we hear your last year's year feedback Yam Chan SiuCheh (and all ex-8WC'ians)... last year the food ingredient was not so conducive and abit exorbitant but this year.. hopefully, we will even have a price tag and everywhere-can-buy ingredients.

3) Because... Of course we want to be healthy and especially gorgeous and sexy with hot ass like Mek Yam!!

4) There will be one winner per participating platoon as oppose to last year's only one overall winner worldwide which our Otai and 4 times SOB James Fong was one of the finalist!

He received a RM300 voucher at NIKE store. Meaning, if I register all our platoons, there will be one winner for every platoon.

How much does it cost to participate? 
To participate, you must be a paid recruit at the CHIEF's ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP and pay AUD29.95 (Approximately RM90.00) for the 8 Weeks Challenge.

NOTHING IS MORE ORGASMIC THAN TO GET THE HANDS DIRTY

There is nothing much to be missed if you had never tasted a luxury lifestyle but once you had it and lost it, living without it is a lot harder... infact, it can be damn hard. Having maids to cook, clean, wash-up, serves us endless and tirelessly 24 hours 7 days a week is a luxury that most people are enjoying but life without a maid is actually nothing but a better lifestyle!! If you dont believe me.. see how fast and fit Delta Norliza Affandi and Nawal Aini Zulkifli is! They both had their fair share of moment without maids.

The trick is.. be positive.. look at the bright side. At least there is still a house to be clean. Some people had to be forced out of their house due to economic downturn and some had to vacate due to environment setback such as those in Perlis sufering from mega flood. Secondly, which is more important is for fitness and health. Fitness and fat lost should be everyone's goal in life. Lets take a quick look at my polar performing the following household chores. Yes.. believe it or not, Armin is the maid of honour. Abit higher grade than indons and banglas.

Normal household chores based on my weight of 70kg, age, gender and a 7,000 sq ft size burns calorie as follows (base on my polar):

Vacuuming 15 minutes - 93 cal
Mopping the floor 15 minutes - 97 cal
Cleaning glasses, windows & tables 5 minutes - 50 cal
Wash Dishes (standing or in General- Not broken into stand/walk component) 10 mins - 40 calorie
Make-up bed, re-arranging wardrobe, cleaning shower, toilets - 15 minutes - 105
Laundry - hantar dobi/laundry shop daa - No calorie burn
