Located in Bandong just on top of Agro Bazaar K Shoppe, you can find the latest addition of fitness and body building facility in Sibu. To get there you must get up the stairs on the left side of the block. See picture for more details.
I really enjoyed the ambient there. For one, there is the new gym aura and the red, black and white tone compensated by hip hop and rap music gave a more aggressive mood compared to other gyms. The people there are friendly too and disciplined as they put back the dumbbells and weights on their racks. The open-air design allows faster recovery after a heavy workout and feels less stuffy. But by 7pm expect more BBQ smoke and delicious aroma to enter the building as the hawkers in Bandong below begin to cook satay and whatnot.
There's only one level (so far as I could visibly explore) but the equipment are all adequate for the few chaps working out with you.
For a relatively cheap RM5 per entry (non member) you'll like it if you prefer a fresh and aggressive body building environment. (Terribly sorry, forgot how much membership cost, but I think it's RM25-RM30 per month). Plus if you prefer privacy, new equipment, and friendly advises from fellow bros and trainers, do check out Bandong Gym.
The past weeks have been so stressful for me. And to keep up with my now 6 kids I think I fooled my body into thinking it's fighting a bear for a week. The stress hormones released are detrimental, but on the bright side I burned calories fast enough to lose some grams. Work AND get in shape, jyeah!
Maybe I should avoid calling my SBUs and projects "kids" as what some had advised, I get forever alone because of it. Owh well at least they all have grown up.
Latest project. It's so epic the picture got out of the blog's frame limit.
On the side note it's Valentine's Day and that means it's Kampua4Life's 5th birthday. So happy birthday dear bloggie, although I hadn't post new things often like in the old days.
And also another side note I wasn't forever alone this V-Day, I think I was just too rusty and haven't been in the game for a long time. I'm glad you liked red roses :)
Those dogs can smell my fear and anxiety despite the poker face. Happy V-Day!
It's the year of the dragon, dovahkin, DRAGONBORN! Pics from here.
Epic Skyrim Nordic choir ensues...
Alright it's the year of the water dragon and the dragon is a very auspicious animal among the other 11 animals in the Chinese calender (each year another animal who won the race Buddha conducted e.g. dog, goat, monkey etc.)
Ideally people would rush to get married or make dragon year babies (it's not too late until April, if you know what I mean. But some people would go against the idea as it's not that good of a year. Dragon kids will most likely have to compete in a heavily competitive environment filled with fellow Dragonborns due to previous efforts of making a lot of Dragon babies. This competition endures throughout the Dragonborn's education, work, marriage(?) etc.
Anyways Googling what holds for everyone for the year of the Dragon is shabby (seriously, so many different interpretations). But generally we all should be optimistic about this year. Go with the flow.
As for me, it's my year so let's make it legend-wait-for-fus-ro-dahhh-dary!
And if you still want to see how your horoscope will fare this 2012, you can read it here (not to be taken seriously). Below is a summary from the website if you can't be bothered to open a new tab.
1. Dragon 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 and 2012
It's a mix of good and bad in your bag this year. Although 2012 is your year (Dragon), your luck is not very good and the year is going to be rough for you because your horoscope sign is in conflict with the Grand Duke Jupiter and the Five Yellow. The former brings obstacles, aggravations and hindrances in your life that will break your will and hope, while the latter brings all kinds of misfortune and losses. You need to persevere and work at being strong to cope with the strong dose of Feng Shui afflictions in 2012 in your chart, with much of it causing a setback in your monetary luck. The 48 year old Dragon seems to have higher resistant to this though. You must be mindful and make every effort to suppress the feng shui ills that threaten to squash even your best plan.
2. Snake 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013
For the past couple of years, things were good for you but in the year 2012 of the Dragon, your fortunes and luck prospects decline sharply. This is because the Snake born is plagued by the Five Yellow in the year 2012. Although it's the scariest and most unforfunate affliction, it's also one that has many effective cures. Simply place a 6 inch Trinity Pagoda or 5 Element Om Ah Hum Singing Bell with Tree of Life in the SouthEast, carry a Trinity Five Element Pagoda Keychain and wear a Bejeweled Five Element Pagoda Feng Shui Pendant and you're protected from its malicious effects which brings bad luck, money loss and tragedies.

Carry feng shui amulets such as Ksitigarbha Keychain or Flaming Magic Wheel Keychain. Display Bejeweled Red Dragon with Flaming Sword in the Southwest to counter it.
