Preparation for Burden Run 2014

Are you guys ready for the Burden Run? For those who are not prepared, let me tell you something. You are truly out of your mind if you are not trained for this. Ok here's why, on Sunday i tried to run with 13 Kg plates (I keep it in a bagpack and carry it like a sandbag) for 4km. Kenape 13kg? Cause we need to train harder than the actual. Here's my experience during the run.

1km = Lots of swearing "Oh beratnye" "kenape lah susah sangat" and other vulgar words which are inappropriate for me to share here.

2km- Approaching 2km, "This can be done" , "Come on!" , "You don't stop you keep moving"

3km & 4km - My body already used to it. Larian lebih tenang tanpa sebarang carutan atau muka masam. Its all in the mind babeh.

Below is my result running with 13kg plates.

So, Here's the plan. What do i learned from the trial yesterday?

1. Train hard. Yes, at least try lah satu atau dua kali.. Kalau terus je pegi event angkat sandbag takut ada yang pengsan tak biasa. For those bootcampers, this wouldn't be something new for you.

2. Use gloves. Yes, gunakanlah gloves. Training glove i mean. Bukan glove doctor pakai tu bang. itu lagi lah berpeluh tangan. Organizer does not allow you to use wrist wrap, but they never mention anything about gloves (i have read the T&C). Kenape? Kerana telapak tangan anda akan berpeluh lebih dari biasa. Eventhough you don't have a sweaty palms, holding a 10kg sandbag or 7.5kg for women will definitely makes u sweat.

3. Bring a towel with you. Ape kejadahnya nk lari bawak towel nie? Well when i run i dont sweat until it gets into my eye. I just dont.. But yesterday was a different scenario, peluh x henti masuk mata. Pedih dik non!

4. Drink enough water. Yeah, u read that right. Minum air secukupnya tapi jangan terlebih nanti kembung perut.

5. Power Gel. YES or NO? Yes for me. Why? It ain't running with a sandbag on your shoulder for 5.7km. Ye abang, 5.7km. Memey ramai2 kita menangis atas Bukit Cinta tuh. My advice is to consume the power gel right before u carry the sandbag. Or maybe at the 4th km.

6. Get enough rest. Bende paling basic before any event. If u train hard with no rest u will not be able to perform during the event. My advice is to have at least 24hr - 48hr rest before the event. 

All the best to us! 

P/S = Siapa tak nak bawak balik sandbag tu bagi aku. It will be useful for my group's training. Hehehe.

47 Ronin Movie Review

 I got lucky yesterday. Few minutes after aku post trailer 47 Ronin dekat Facebook aku, my ex-colleague dkt Fly FM offered me his ticket sebab dia tak berkesempatan untuk tengok. Semalam the movie screening was by One FM and the movie is actually 3D! Rasenye since i left Media Prima Radio memang dah tak tengok screening nie.

Movie Poster : Source - theentertainmentwallpaper.com

Ok, now let's talk about the movie. What is it all about and is it worth it? Before that, untuk pengetahuan korang, filem nie mula2 dishoot dalam bahasa jepun and then shoot lagi sekali dalam bahasa Inggeris. Jadi most of the actors and actress sound a bit awkward kecuali Keanu Reeves. 47 Ronin was inspired by true events in Japan way back in 18th - Century. Ronin bermaksud Samurai yang tidak bertuan. How did it all come to this? The story is about a half-breed or kita dekat Malaysia panggil "mix" iaitu Keanu Reeves yang memegang watak Kai. Kai nie budak lelaki misteri yang melarikan diri jauh ke dalam hutan dan dijumpai oleh Oishi (Hiroyaki Sanada) dan Lord Asano dan sejak dari hari itu Kai dibesarkan oleh mereka namun sentiasa dipandang rendah kerana dia bukanlah seorang samurai dan apetah lagi dia bukan berbangsa jepun asli. Antara konflik yang berlaku dalam filem ini adalah bila Lord Asano cuba untuk membunuh Lord Kira yang dijemput hadir ke tempatnya untuk pertandingan beradu tenaga di antara 2 samurai dari dua daerah yang berbeza ini. Disebabkan peristiwa ini, Lord Asano dijatuhkan hukuman mati oleh Shogun dan Samurai-Samurai yang berkhidmat untuknya kini hidup dalam buangan (hidup sebagai Ronin) dan tidak dibenarkan untuk menuntut bela. Setahun berlalu, Puteri Lord Asano iaitu Mika dijadualkan untuk berkahwin dengan Lord Kira, namun perkahwinan mereka bakal digagalkan oleh 47 Ronin yang kembali untuk menuntut bela di atas kematian Lord Asano. Filem ini menggunakan banyak efek-efek khas namun ianya lebih untuk mereka yang sabar untuk mengikuti jalan cerita yang agak slow. Selain itu, filem ini juga menceritakan kepercayaan dan amalan mistik dan black magic yang digunakan demi mengekalkan kuasa selain percintaan yang terhalang di antara Kai dan Mika. Personally, my rating is 6.5 out of 10. Enjoy the movie!

Bungee Jump at Sunway Lagoon

Korang pernah try Bungee Jump? Some of us kebanyakannya dah try dekat luar negara. Tapi lagi ramai yang tak tahu dekat Malaysia pon ada. Aku pon baru je tahu. Khamis lepas tanggal 12 Dec 2013, aku berpeluang cuba Bungee Jump utk pertama kalinya. Ok here goes, Bungee Jump nie located dekat Sunway Lagoon (sebelah Sunway Pyramid), mesti korang tahu kan? So here's how you do this. Tiket masuk Theme Park   RM 90 (MyKad Promotion) and harga Bungee Jump RM75 (sekali jump). So in total RM165 korang kene sediakan. Before korang jump, of courselah kene bayar RM75 dulu kan? Kaunter dia located berdekatan track Go-Kart. Selepas bayar, korang kene isi form (macam biasalah if anything were to happened to you, korang dah faham and signed) and lepas tu timbang berat. That day berat aku 69kg (aku tahu mcm berat gila) but time tu aku dengan beg sekali timbang. Seingat aku berat minimum 45kg. Not too sure about this. Better korang check sendiri. After that, korang kene naik ke atas jambatan gantung tu utk jump. Before jump, the instructor akan pasang Harness and korang boleh request utk jump masuk air sikit. Hehehe. Barulah berbaloi. Enjoy the pictures and video below!

Before Jump kene sign form dulu

Cerificate of Insanity. Are you one?

Thinking, ok now i'm a bit scared

Trying hard to look cool now. Hahaha

And they will leave u hanging for a while, well the boat will rescue you.

You have enemies? Good...

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. - Sir Winston Churchill.

A quote from Sir Winston Churchill that makes me wonder. Do i really have one? Do we really have one? Or maybe more than one? Maybe more than we could ever imagine? Growing up was never easy. The older we become, the lesser people we trust. This is the ugly truth that we all faced. Quitting my job and entering the business world makes me realise that yeah enemies, haters or whatever that you call them exist.

 If you don't do, they'll talk about it. If you do, they'll talk about it too. Just do it. Do whatever that makes you happy (As long as it is not something illegal and sinful). Cheers ~

I am an entrepreneur

Blogging.. Its like smoking for some people. You never quit. You just stop.. for how long? Depends... It takes perseverence. And here i go again.. Blogging. I guess quitting my job at Hot FM after 2 and half years is a move that allows me to have a flexible hours to do more stuff. Be it organizing a Motorsport Event or meeting clients/companies to invest in Unit Trust.

How to detect a stalker

Yeahhh my dearest readers.. u read the title right.. I am pretty sure that there are no spelling error or i purposely put the title but in fact i am writing a different story. Most of the people complaints about having a stalker in their life. Well, for my case, you can always choose to ignore, avoid or stay out of it.

For those who knows me well, i love movies. Because in movies (intel movies not war) they actually teaches you how to use your critical thinking. So, let me tell you.... How do i detect a genuine stalker? Be it your mum, grandma, drunk dad, psycho ex-bf, mentally ill ex-gf or even ur boss!! haha.. kidding.. But seriously, HOW?

The points below are mostly applicable for an online social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter Myspace, Friendster, Tagged and etc).

How to detect a stalker 101 by Ariff Syafik Bin Zulkifli

1. The mind of a stalker always think that they are the best and they are a perfect human being. They deserve to know everything. Yes EVERYTHING!!! Because of this, they tend to choose a profile picture which is similiar to their face, facial expression, hair colour and etc.

2. They will use a sexy and attractive (not nude) profile picture.

3. Their first status update would be this "Hi i'm XXXXXX and i'm new here".

4. There are no tagged photos of them. (They don't even exist, how do they have a tagged photos of them? Unless we create a new stalker social networking site) Hahahaha...

5. They will only say 'Thank you' or 'Nice to meet you too' to the idiots who actually approved their friend request.

6. They will start to add all your close friends.

7. They rarely update their profile pictures and status.

8. Whenever they update a status on their Facebook, and all those pervert guys start to comment, you will notice that none of them (The perverts) knows her.


And yes there are hell lots more for me to share. But i guess with this little info will helps you to remove all the stalkers right away. I mean NOW!!!

P/S = Take a look at few funny photos below. :p

Nasihat Imam Al-Ghazali

Gambar di atas hanya sekadar hiasan semata2

Assalamualaikum w.b.t dear readers. Lately, aku byk spend mase terluang membace articles baik secare on9 atau off9 (Buku2 dan Suratkhabar). Kadangkala, duduk bertapa sorg2 dalam bilik nie ada baiknya. Jgn ade yg jadi mereng atau bunuh diri sudahhhh.. hahahaha...

Anyway, aku teringatkan nasihat aku kepada peserta2 Kem Motivasi ketika aku bertugas sebagai Camp Consultant dan juga Fasilitator.. Yes aku pernah keje dalam hutan (Kem Motivasi) selama 3 bulan. Banyak yg aku belajar dalam tempoh yg singkat itu.. Aku tau korg mesti nk gelak tapi aku mmg terkenal dlm sifat suka mencuba kerje yg langsung x berkait dgn ape aku belajar waktu kolej.

Apepon, hari nie aku nk kongsi dgn korg Nasihat, Pesan atau boleh juga dikatakan soalan Imam Al- Ghazali kepada anak2 muridnya.


*Sumber diambil dari Internet dan diubahsuai bahasanya untuk memastikan pembaca yg kurang islamic terus membace (Bukan kau, kawan kau tu).. hahahaha..


Soalan pertama dari Imam Al-Ghazali, "Apa yang paling dekat dengan diri kita di dunia ini?".

Murid-muridnya ada yang menjawab orang tua, keluarga, guru, teman dan kerabatnya.

Imam Al-Ghazali menjelaskan semua jawapan itu benar. Tetapi yang paling dekat dengan kita adalah "MATI".

"Tiap-tiap yang bernyawa akan merasai mati, dan bahawasanya pada hari kiamat sahajalah akan disempurnakan balasan kamu. Ketika itu sesiapa yang dijauhkan dari neraka dan dimasukkan ke syurga maka sesungguhnya ia telah berjaya. Dan (ingatlah bahawa) kehidupan di dunia ini (meliputi segala kemewahannya dan pangkat kebesarannya) tidak lain hanyalah kesenangan bagi orang-orang yang terpedaya."
( Surah Ali Imran 185 )


Lalu Imam Ghazali meneruskan pertanyaan yang kedua. " Apa yang paling jauh dari diri kita di dunia ini?"

Murid-muridnya ada yang menjawab , bulan, matahari dan bintang-bintang. Lalu
Imam Al-Ghazali menjelaskan bahawa semua jawapan yang mereka berikan adalah benar. Tapi yang paling benar adalah "MASA LALU".

apapun kenderaan kita, tetap kita tidak mungkin dapat kembali ke masa lalu (korang jgn terpengaruh dengan cerita Back to the Future pulak). Oleh sebab itu kita harus menjaga hari ini dan hari-hari yang akan datang dengan perbuatan yang sesuai dengan ajaran Agama.


Lalu Imam Al-Ghazali meneruskan dengan pertanyaan yang ketiga. "Apa yang paling besar di dunia ini?"

Murid-muridnya ada yang menjawab gunung, bumi dan matahari.

Semua jawapan itu benar kata Imam Ghazali. Tapi yang paling besar dari yang ada di dunia ini adalah "NAFSU".

"Dan sesungguhnya Kami jadikan untuk neraka jahanam banyak dari jin dan manusia yang mempunyai hati (tetapi) tidak mahu memahami dengannya (ayat-ayat Allah), dan yang mempunyai mata (tetapi) tidak mahu melihat dengannya (bukti keesaan Allah) dan yang mempunyai telinga (tetapi) tidak mahu mendengar dengannya (ajaran dan nasihat); mereka itu seperti binatang ternak, bahkan mereka lebih sesat lagi; mereka itulah orang-orang yang lalai." ( Surah Al A'araaf 179 )


Pertanyaan keempat adalah, " Apa yang paling berat di dunia ini?"

Ada yang menjawab baja, besi dan gajah.

kata Imam Al-Ghazali, tapi yang paling berat adalah "memegang amanah".

Sesungguhnya Kami telah kemukakan tanggungjawab amanah (Kami) kepada langit dan bumi serta gunung-ganang (untuk memikulnya), maka mereka enggan memikulnya dan bimbang tidak dapat menyempurnakannya (kerana tidak ada pada mereka persediaan untuk memikulnya); dan (pada ketika itu) manusia (dengan persediaan yang ada padanya) sanggup memikulnya. (Ingatlah) sesungguhnya tabiat kebanyakan manusia adalah suka melakukan kezaliman dan suka pula membuat perkara-perkara yang tidak patut dikerjakan.
( Surah Al Ahzaab 72 )


Pertanyaan yang kelima adalah, " Apa yang paling ringan di dunia ini?".

Ada yang menjawab kapas, angin, debu dan daun-daunan.

kata Imam Al-Ghazali, tapi yang paling ringan di dunia ini adalah "meninggalkan solat". Gara-gara pekerjaan, kita tinggalkan solat, gara-gara meeting kita tinggalkan solat. Gara2 DOTA, WOW, COD4, Movie, Konsert kita meninggalkan solat (Amek kau kene batang hidung aku sendiri jugak).


Lantas pertanyaan ke enam adalah, " Apakah yang paling tajam di dunia ini?".

Murid-muridnya menjawab dengan serentak, pedang...

Imam Al-Ghazali, tapi yang paling tajam adalah "lidah manusia".

Kerana melalui lidah, manusia dengan begitu mudah menyakiti hati dan melukai perasaan saudaranya sendiri.

Yang baik datang dari ALLAH S.W.T dan yang lemah lagi buruk datang dari kelemahan dan kealpaan saya sendiri (TIbe2 bahase dari aku bertukar menjadi saye)... Anyway, aku harap korang dpt kongsi cerita ini agar dijadikan iktibar. Sambil2 lepak mamak tu selit2 la bab2 islamic sket.. Renung2kan dan Selamat Beramal. :)

IBM tracks your Facebook Update!

Good Morning everyone. Today, i would like to introduce you the benefit of technology. What if you employer can trace your facebook update without you even 'like' the Facebook group? Does it sounds impossible?

Don't laugh first.. I have proof. See it yourself!!


On 17th September 2010 i update my status using the word IBM



A minute after that, i check the IBM facebook group. Eventually my status update is there at their wall... and i don't even 'Like' the group.


This is totally a breach of privacy!!!! But anyway, i'm an ex IBMer.. Doesnt bother me much..
