Minions Attacks

As many of Asians would have know or hear about the Minions craze in Malaysia's McDonald's during their promotion to give away the toys with the purchase of McDonald's Happy Meal. There are videos show those maniacs broke the shutter door of McDonald's. Here is the video if you have not seen it,

It is a different atmosphere for Minions in Qatar, somehow they seem unwanted here. No much craze and people queuing during the midnight. I guess McDonald's in US would have a good laugh watching Malaysian buying so many Happy Meal.  Over here in Qatar, only the kids are asking for the toys and and only kids eating Happy Meal. So relatively there are plenty of Minions inside the box so much so when a local kids ask for it they will throw bunch to them for extras. I wanted to but I don't think they will give me.. I probably make big bucks selling Minions :) Anyway there are only 8 Minions in McDonald's Qatar compare to 9 that are in Malaysia and out of the 9 only 4 of Malaysian version are the same as Qatar version which are;

Tim Giggling

I have the poster of Minions from McDonald's Malaysia and I took are picture of the display unit at McDonald's Qatar which you guys can compare yourself. I guess there are total of 19 Minions to collect or there more which are available at other country? I wonder who has all of it..

This summarized the Minions availability based on geographical area.

i kill my luggage bag........ LOCK

In my previous post I bought 2 new luggage bag and today I killed the combination lock :)  All this while I never use the numeric lock that is attached with luggage bag because I saw my mom had bad experience with it as it doesn't open. So despite the FREE lock I always used a padlock or some sort of lock.

Nothing else to do I though of testing to break the combination lock as I remember I read an article on the Internet teaches how to do it.... Not gonna mention how I kill it as you can find the instruction on YouTube. Anyway the lock is still fine but somehow the correct combination I had set doesn't pop up the lock now. I am lucky that I didn't try it while the zipper is lock with it. So yeah I screw it up I guess it crappy quality since the bag is cheap and made in China. I guess those expensive bag like Samsonite lock are better.. but next time if I would have buy those branded bag I will mess with the lock first hehe to try if it really last with abuse. I mean if a thief want to break into your bag he probably will do the same like me and end up the lock is unusable. Thanks to my itchy hand and fucking boring weekend.

Luggage Bag zipper safety

We have seen a lot of YouTube video show that how easily to open a zipper on a bag by using a ball pen. I have tried it as it is that easy with just a poke in between the zip and it is opened. Many of friends who travel a lot are worry not that people will steal item from their bag but people putting something that not suppose to be in.

And so most of them uses a hard case luggage bag with a clip on number combination lock like a briefcase, well lets call it giant briefcase OR they will wrap their bag in plastic at the airport. I am not keen with both solution mainly I am worry if the combination lock spoil which pretty often then I probably have to smash the bag into pieces and wrapping is just not my thing.

So, I though of how to improved the security using zipper bag. I am not sure if this is a foolproof but is worth to try. After you done with packing, zip up your bag and zip your bag all the way to the end don't 1/4 or in the middle since now all bag come with 2 zippers. Then and if possible when you check in or scan the bag, have the security guy or ladies at the counter to stick the security sticker just beside the zipper. This way, if the crook open the zip with a ball pen and he would have to move the zipper to close it back and this way he definitely would destroy the security sticker. :) In addition you could also get luggage strap with combination lock as an extra security  :)

I use a tape as a sample security sticker :)

No excuse for not exercise...

Upgraded my Internet connection to 10Mb and here is the result

Body weight training

I have been following a set of training routine using own body weigh as due to lack of gym facilities in my apartment and expensive fee at the private gym house. It has been close to 3 years I have been doing body weight training and occasionally I still hit to the half equipped gym in my apartment. Well 3 years, you probably expect I would have a muscular body well I don't because I didn't follow didn't train like those professional athletes or gym instructor as I took it as my normal exercise and also I didn't follow the diet which a professional are using but that doesn't it didn't work just because I am not 110% committed to it despite I wanted to. Oh well enough being said let's stick to the topic

While Googling about body weight exercise, I prompt into this website call BodyRock.TV is a website dedicated to keeping you fit and lean with using mostly your own body weight. The website started on 2008 and now have over 100 over millions viewer across the world following the exercise routine. The website was started by a couple name Sean and Zuzana, and to be honest I tend to watch Zuzana exercise routine more than Sean :). She is look amazing with lean body and perfect abs and arms and is crazy how she able to build such a fit body. Little that I know Zuzana Light was previously a p0rn star by the name Susana Spears. She was born in Czech Republic with the birth name of Zuzana Majorova. That being said, it is her past and glad she moved on to be fitness trainer now.

She have left BodyRock couple of years ago and now starting her own site and YouTube channel call Zuzka Light and BodyRock TV has replace their host with Lisa and also sometime they do invite special guest to be their host also they have create another website call DailyHiit.

So pretty much both website promote the same stuff which is body weight training and typically they exercise is to do a certain type of exercise routine as fast as possible on a given time which they use GYMBOSS timer to help them. This type of training is called HIIT - High Intensive Interval Training or also known as After Burn training. This is to max out your heartbeat and to increase the oxygen flow into your bloodstream so that the oxygen is will use to burn fats even you complete your exercise. ( I hope I explain it right) You could watch their training exercise on their YouTube channel or just Google and you will find it.

In addition, the GYMBOSS timer are available in Malaysia - Fitness Concept at around RM100 but you could get it free by downloading their apps on your iPhone or Android device and use it from your phone. The GYMBOSS timer actually works by you setting interval timer like 5min-10sec-5min-10sec. With the Android and iOS apps you could label what those interval are for such as 5min(pushup)-10sec(rest) and so on. At the end of each interval you will hear a beeping sound which help you to change the routine or go to rest and then you record down how many push up you did on a paper to track your performance.It is highly customizable so can set the right amount of time which are ideal for you.

If you tune into BodyRock TV or DailyHiit, they tend to use more equipment like sand medicine ball, bar bell, dumb bell, sandbag and dip station in their exercise routine. Well you can follow by purchased those item but not all of them are available in your country ELSE you could search or their exercise which doesn't need any equipment and it is equally as challenging like the burpees, spiderman push up and so on. Nowadays both website include yoga exercise as part of their routine. Stretching is a very good exercise and is proven since classical Chinese medicine. Using the right way, stretching helps to increase the chi flow in your body and help to detox them. As for modern stretching exercise such as yoga and Pilates  is for general health and improve flexibility.

And of course, exercise does come with diet and diet is in sense not by you starve to death but by eating the right food with the right amount and at the right time. I was amaze with Nick Cheung appearance on his latest movie Unbeatable. He was from a skinny body and trained become a solid steel body and best part is he over 40 years old. Saying this means how determination and persistent can achieved. In one of his interview, he mention he was barred from eating any food with oil, salt, carbs and daily intake of 40 egg white per day and that is crazy. Quote form his interview "For nine months, I had egg whites for breakfast, chicken and eggs for lunch, and steamed fish or boiled chicken and salad for dinner. There was no sugar, no oil, no salt and no carbs"

Conclusion, I am not providing any exercise routine and all this info I mentioned above you can find it on the Internet and also I am not in the best shape to advise you how to build a fit and lean body as main I still love my food and sometime I am lazy to exercise. I am just sharing with you that exercise is FREE or at a very low cost and it is all about determination which I am lacking hehehe. ADIOS!
