.:Simply Funtasy:.

Few weeks back I've seen people checking my blog with keyword 'Fit Malaysia Perlis 2016', which would definitely lead them to last year's event . Despite my itchiness effort of writing a prequel post prior to this year's event, I don't have any idea what to write coz... there's just ain't anything to write about. Anyway... Fit Malaysia (FM) Perlis 2016 was held at IKBN Kuala Perlis on 8th May 2016. The starting and finish line for Run and Ride Main stage FM was held before Perlis Marathon this year, and since we were somehow registered as a member under Rainbow Jersey Team website (the main organizer of FM), we were notified through email regarding the event. Since I did online registration on the FM Run the same time I registered 5km Perlis Marathon (more about the 'downgrade' of Perlis Marathon run later), I didn't bother to check the verification/confirmation email because I more kan cheong on the Perlis Marathon registrati...

As per title... The promoting was pretty aggressive, but the price of RM35 did scare me off a little, until one weekend the price was dropped down to RM10 - which was literally free anyway as we get a RM10 Watsons voucher and the shirt was literally free! We went on Saturday for girls' day out aka shopping. Carbo-loading the day before  As on the ticket (and certificate we received during registration), the time stated was 6am and the registration started at the ungodly 5.30am. Yikes I love fitness but I don't love the morning events.

The event was so fun it deserves an insta-post LOL! I joined Fit Malaysia Perlis yesterday (13th June 2015) in UiTM, Arau - the 10km cycling event and Zumba in the evening as assistant. 5 of us friends joined the morning event, I was the only one cycling. Jabatan Belia dan Sukan (JBS) Perlis co-organized the event with Fit Malaysia. I first knew about this Fit Malaysia Perlis event was during the Perlis Marathon where they set a booth there. The 'FREE registration' attracted me, and they have cycling event (!!), so I signed up for the 10km FM (Fit Malaysia) Ride. Free mah, not going also tak rugi LOL. The event started at 7.30am. The bad news was I couldn't sleep on the previous night, perhaps because too excited or simply anxiety or whatnot, I slept only at about 2.30am and I had to get up at 6am. FML. It was foldie's first not-really-competition event and I was excited!! The previous visit to the bike shop fixed the tight mid-body folding hinge so I could eas...

Attended the Score Fitmob Zumba Fitness Party last Sunday and it was full of FUN!! Yeehaw~!! No to the early rising though, that one sucked max -_- I was first informed about this event on June. The initial date was on 2nd Nov and it was supposed to take place at Dataran Merdeka. There's a lower rate for group registration - RM70 instead of 75, so I joined Chen's group since no one in Perlis was interested that time. Around October, an email from SCORE saying the event has got bigger and " better ", they marked a new date on 18th Jan and shifted the venue to Stadium Merdeka. The word better always has to have the quotation mark on and di- Italic -kan, especially events as such when they make it "bigger". Even smaller events sometimes don't do well, let alone bigger ones. I just hoped it went OK-ish... And, WOW, SCORE does not disappoint! In fact, it was an event with almost 6000 participants, and I did not have any complaint or rumbling or diss...

The event was held two weekends ago, took place at Esplanade, Padang Kota Lama, Penang. The word "12 hours" might be horrifying, but I've been to the 12 hours International Walk in Putrajaya, so no biggie for me. The event was held side by side with the Penang 12 Hour International Walk, and since the beginning, I had this feeling that the Fitness event gonna suck somewhere and sometime as the Walk event would be the priority even though the Fitness event's participants outnumbered the Walk event.

Most of you should know me better by now, that I am a total ZUMBA freak. According to The Hunter, "Wow you really go everywhere for this ZUMBA thingy huh..." "NO I'm not. So far it's just Penang." 14th April, a 'ZUMBA "Brazilian Flavour" Master Class with Enrique Salomao' was held at 24 Hours Xtreme Fitness, Straits Quay. We, being me, Lee Jynn and Tess, went Penang a day earlier for some light shopping, eating and gossiping. Girls trip is always fun!! (note: ...when you are with your best gossip buddies around, of course). On the day, Straits Quay was packed as there was this Science Fair thingy going on as well, and the parking was jam-packed full, luckily we got a parking spot after ten minutes of circling. Our instructor of the day - Enrique Salomao A Zumba Master Class is something like an ordinary class with extended time duration. It means, the usual class is normally an hour long, and the Master Class extends the tim...

Yikes it was a event on the 17th and I am so overduuuuuuue! Theresa organized the first official ZUMBA® party in Perlis, more specifically, Kangar. Things were getting quite chaotic months and weeks before the show because of many issues and circumstances, involving human being and stuffs. I wasn't being helpful enough on selling the tickets, so I felt terribly helpless -_- Went back hometown few days before the show, and I couldn't join the ZUMBA® party in Alor Star (the first too). I was super jealous when all of them said the party was super fun!! The venue was at Putra Palace Hotel. On the day, we went early for the setup and whatnot. Us girls helped out at the registration counter, while Tessy went around, very busy! ..:Fast forward:.. Party started!! Tessy introduced the instructors of the day, all nine of them, on stage. Being a ZUMBA® party quite-frequent goer (self-claimed mind you~), some of the instructors and their step has become more or less familiar...

Participated the first ever ZUMBA® Party in Sungai Petani, organized by the local instructor Lisher Kang. It was pretty much a last minute decision I made - the party was on Saturday and I only decided to go a day before. LOL. We departed from Perlis at around 12 noon. First stop at Alor Star Mall to buy dog food for Jack-Jack and a yogurt treat. The journey continued for another an hour and half, and we arrived at SP, a little late in time for our lunch at Chennai Curry House next to Village Mall, Tess' recommendation. The banana leaf rice indeed looks tempting and appetizing! (We didn't order the banana leaf set though) Nevertheless, the nasi beriyani lunch was awesomely yummeh! We had some stroll at Village Mall after lunch. I have to say, never judge a mall by its 'cover'. VM might seem big from the outside, but the inside, a little disappointing. We had some good time though, especially when there's music of our good old 'dance fitness' time, we ...

Finally, the first ever ZUMBA Party had been set up by our dearie first instructor in Perlis, Theresa Tessy ^^ The venue was at Dewan Kastam in the Customs Department housing estate, 5 instructors from SP and Penang were invited and 30 ZUMBA enthusiasts attended the event. It was happening and FUN!! Warming up was performed by Zaina, I LOVE her outfit by the way, the jersey type, so cool!! (It is still an enigma why we would get addicted buying ZUMBA clothes, and it's not cheap!) The warm up was awesome~ Then it was whole load of ZUMBAs!! Both long and short hair Rina, Alice, Lisher, Zaina and Theresa took turn taking over the stage. I, assigned as a temporary photographer, danced my way with 2kg of DSLR on my hand! The duration of the event was 1 hour and a half, and when Theresa announced it would be the last song and it's time for cooling down, many of us complained that it was not enough!! :p Looking forward to the bigger scale ZUMBA party on March!!! Go go go~!...
