10,000 participants in Great Eastern Genting King of the Mountain

 Last Saturday it was a day where my classmate and me had gone to RWG. Do you know that they are ten thousand people signed up for the obstacle course event that is Great Eastern Genting King of the Mountain but hundreds more joined in for the camaraderie of the day? There was no doubt the event held at The Ranch @ Gohtong Jaya recently was a huge success.

Not only was the number of participants bigger than last year's 8,500; the event that inspired togetherness was a heartwarming picture of people in solidarity while in the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. The air was thick with excitement, and the participants that gathered in teams were visually striking, each team with their very own theme colour in terms of racing outfits.

Evidently raring to go, the participants nevertheless had time for picture taking. They were cheered on by a crowd of enthusiastic onlookers at the starting line where participants were flagged off every half an hour by the deejay in charge.

teamwork is important, they help each other to climb over

Dato Koh Yaw Hui, the Director and Chief Executive Officer of Great Eastern Life, summed up the event perfectly: “In fulfilling Great Eastern's brand aspirations as a life insurance company, we hope to inspire Malaysians to live healthier, better and longer. As the title sponsor for Great Eastern Viper Challenge 2016, we recognise how the challenging obstacle course can motivate everyone, especially our youth, to adopt a healthier lifestyle in every way—physically and mentally.

“The event not only promotes a well-balanced and holistic idea of good health but also emotional wellness to foster camaraderie and teamwork.”

This is the second year running that Resorts World Genting was involved with the King of the Mountain event along with Viper Challenge. Kevin Tann, Vice President of Promotions & Entertainment of Resorts World Genting, was understandably happy to be involved in the event, describing it as “arguably the best obstacle course event in Malaysia because it combines great obstacles, good weather and a finishing
festival.”

Tann said, “The fact that tickets were sold out early and we had a bigger number of participants than before shows how urbanites find the event very appealing. It is exercise for the mind, body and spirit; recreation that enhances one's mental, physical and spiritual well-being. And that's because not only
does it promote healthy living; the community spirit it fosters is something we should all be proud of.
“There is surely nothing more positive than families and friends coming together to have fun while getting a good workout and connecting with other people. It is heartening for us at Resorts World
Genting to be part of such a huge community event.”

Best obstacle course event
Like usual, the Viper Challenge this year posed some daunting manmade obstacles but trust the spirited participants to take it all in their stride. They took on the obstacle course that spanned over a 10-kilometre route covering a landscape filled with crooked pathways and rugged terrain. They were tested physically as well as mentally—and how they enjoyed the huffing and puffing!

Obstacles such as Peg Wall and Cargo Net Climb provided the best upper body workout while Rotating Cubes and Water Net Crawl were no less challenging and required good skills and technique.
But the other seemingly less challenging obstacles like Tyre Run were as daunting, requiring the participants to negotiate their way through hundreds of tyres spread out over the ground. It wasn't easy to manoeuvre this obstacle and many stumbled their way through but their excitement was palpable— everybody was having fun.

What do the participants themselves have to say about the event?
Among the multicultural teams that took part was Team Real Steel that included 28-year-old Austin from the US who is hard of hearing. Austin, who has worked for a number of years in Malaysia, had participated in other Viper Challenge events but it was the first time he was involved in one held in Genting Highlands. Austin didn't let his handicap get in the way, describing the challenge as “tiring but amazing.”

As befitting a fun event, Team YOLO brought a lot of humour along with them, saying YOLO stands for “You Only Live Once.” Team leader Erica hails from Penang but the team comprises fitness enthusiasts from all over the country—including Johor, Malacca and Pahang.

The team best embodied the spirit of sportsmanship at the event. Clad in yellow T-shirts, the team members never ceased actively motivating each other with chants. The team work displayed was clear to see and at every obstacle, the group members waited for their team mates to finish before moving on to the next challenge. “We never leave our team mates behind,” was how Erica put it.
Equally exemplary was the High School Buddy Friends Group from Malacca that was also involved in last year's race. Twenty-seven-year-old Speedy said his team “couldn't get enough of the challenge and thus came back for more adventure.”

He added, “Compared to last year, this year's event seems more participant-friendly and we saw improvement, which is good.”

Carnival atmosphere complete with music and food
It was not only weekend warriors that got to derive enjoyment from the event; there were many who turned up just to soak in the carnival atmosphere. And of course, for them the other attractions—the food and music—helped make the event memorable. The unique sight of so many food trucks in one place alone must have excited many people, as did the Grilled Chicken with Firewood that was presented “tall tower and campfire style.”

The colourful food trucks adding to the carnival atmosphere sold all types of food, including Big Hug Burgers, Curbside Cantina (selling Mexican food), The Backyard Chef (Chicken Chop, Fish & Chips and Ice Cream), Planet Gergazi (hotdogs), and Lokka Cafe (sandwiches, sausages, hotdogs, juices and teas).
There were also trucks selling desserts and sweets, namely Pancake on Wheel, Pocky, Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream, and Juice Buzz. Beverages including beer were also aplenty.

If you like to eat, how about mooncake do you like them?

Check out my blog post on the RWG new mooncake flavour, click on the link to read.

Providing music entertainment were the Double Aze comprising Allan G. Murillon and Albert Sirimal, with their gentle harmonies and acoustic numbers. The other performer was vocalist June Wong who was accompanied by her keyboardist friend. With her smooth vocals, Wong easily got the crowd to sit back and relax as she delivered some contemporary numbers.

Shogun dinner on last Sunday

Last Sunday dinner with friend Peggy, she is nephew's kaima. He's going to further study and work in China next month so she treats dinner at Shogun, Sunway Pyramid.

Then she bought toys for my sons at Toys R Us as my son promised to eat rice. She offers to buy him toys as knowing he doesn't like to eat rice at all. So he ate 3 spoonful of rice while crying.

Both sons so happy and have started playing their toys. Lego toys is the choice of my eldest son, while youngest son chosen the Dino Power Ranger toy.

We reached home late at night as the mall closed at 10pm and many people rushing back home on that hour. Usually my youngest would sleep at 8pm as he needs to wake up early for kindergarten next day.

Talking about toys, wanna know which toys auntie Peggy have bought them? Do click on the link to view it.

Bengkel yang bertajuk “Are you Caring for his Skin the Right Way?” menampilkan dua orang pakar pediatrik, iaitu Dr Aileen Wee dan Dr Yap Hsiao Ling, yang memberikan pengalaman interaktif sebenar kepada ibu-ibu mengenai perkembangan dan penjagaan kulit bayi yang sihat dan bersesuaian dengan usia mereka. Bengkel ini diakhiri dengan acara kemuncak petang itu, iaitu demonstrasi urutan bayi!


“Johnson’s® Baby memahami dan berkongsi setiap kesungguhan dan komitmen ibu-ibu terhadap memberikan penjagaan terbaik kepada bayi mereka. Dengan pengalaman lebih 100 tahun dalam penjagaan kulit bayi, memang sepatutnya kami berkongsi pengetahuan ini dengan ibu-ibu di Malaysia supaya mereka dapat menjaga kulit bayi mereka dengan penuh keyakinan dan ketenangan fikiran,” kata Cik Chen Pei Ming, Pengurus Kanan Pemasaran Profesional & OTC, Johnson & Johnson Malaysia.

“Ramai ibu bapa tidak menyedari betapa halus dan lembutnya kulit bayi, maka adalah penting anda maklum tentangnya dan membuat pilihan yang tepat demi kesihatan kulit bayi anda,” jelas Dr Wee. “Ini termasuk menggunakan produk yang dirumus khas untuk menjaga keperluan kulit bayi yang halus, terutama pada tahun pertamanya ketika kulitnya masih sedang berkembang.”

Memahami dan Menjaga Kulit Bayi dengan Cara yang Betul: 

* Kulit bayi adalah 30% lebih nipis daripada kulit orang dewasa, dan kehilangan air lebih cepat dalam 12 bulan pertama kehidupannya.

* Produk penjagaan kulit khusus untuk bayi yang betul amatlah penting pada bulan pertama kehidupan bayi kerana kulit bayi lebih mudah mengalami kekeringan, kerengsaan dan jangkitan dalam tempoh ini.

* Walaupun penting untuk tidak menggunakan sabun yang kuat kerana ia boleh merosakkan lapisan pelindung kulit bayi, menggunakan air sahaja tidak memadai. Berdasarkan penyelidikan oleh Johnson’s® Baby, bayi yang dibersihkan menggunakan Johnson’s® Baby Top to Toe Wash tidak menunjukkan sebarang perbezaan dalam beberapa penunjuk utama apabila dibandingkan dengan bayi yang dibersihkan menggunakan air sahaja. Ini menunjukkan bahawa Johnson’s® Baby Top to Toe Wash lembut pada kulit seperti air.

* Adalah penting untuk membersihkan muka, leher, tangan dan punggung bayi anda dengan teliti setiap hari.

* Lebih penting lagi untuk mengkaji semula produk dari perspektif kelembutan dan keselamatannya dan juga bukti saintifik daripada semata-mata bergantung pada label yang mengatakan ia ‘semula jadi’ atau ‘organik’.

* Memilih pembersih yang tepat untuk bayi anda, terutama dalam beberapa bulan pertama selepas kelahiran, dapat membantu menghalang kerosakan kulit yang sukar dipulihkan seperti kemerahan dan kegatalan, kekeringan, mengelupas dan kasar serta rasa tegang selepas mencuci.

* Tidur yang nyenyak pada waktu malam memberi perbezaan yang besar dalam pembawaan bayi apabila dia bangun! Inilah sebabnya mengapa rangkaian produk Johnson’s® Baby Bedtime dihasilkan, dengan rumusan unik untuk membantu merelakskan bayi, dengan itu memudahkan mereka tidur nyenyak pada waktu malam. Harumannya yang unik dan bahan-bahan yang lembut daripada pati Natural Calm™, yang terdapat dalam seluruh rangkaian produk yang terdiri daripada mandian, losyen, minyak dan bedak. Paling penting, Johnson’s® Baby juga mempunyai rutin yang terbukti secara klinikal untuk membantu bayi tidur lebih nyenyak yang akan ditunjukkan sebentar lagi! Beberapa Petua Penting mengenai Penjagaan Kulit Bayi:

* Pertama sekali, pilih produk penjagaan kulit yang betul yang dirumus khas sebagai selamat dan lembut untuk bayi.

* Selepas mandi, sapukan losyen atau minyak urut pada kulit bayi untuk mengekalkan lembapan di dalam kulit bayi.

* Adalah penting untuk sentiasa berwaspada dengan sebarang petanda kerengsaan kulit, terutama pada lipatan kulit seperti leher, bahagian dalam siku dan di belakang lutut di mana kotoran, peluh atau lembapan berlebihan boleh terperangkap. Sebarang ruam hendaklah segera dirawat untuk mengelakkannya daripada menjadi bertambah teruk. * Ibu-ibu juga boleh menolong mengurangkan pendedahan bayi kepada perengsa dengan mencuci pakaian dan peralatan tempat tidur baru sebelum digunakan, menggunakan penghalau dan jaring nyamuk untuk mengelakkan gigitan serangga, dan menjauhkan bayi daripada matahari bilamana mungkin.

Menjaga keperluan unik kulit bayi adalah sebabnya mengapa produk Johnson’s® Baby diuji secara klinikal sebagai selamat, lembut dan berkesan, justeru memastikan setiap produk menepati piawaian “Best for Baby™ Standard”:

* selamat, kerana semua bahan mempunyai tujuannya dan disokong oleh bukti saintifik, diuji dengan piawaian ketat yang menepati atau melebihi tahap keselamatan yang diterima; ini termasuk pembungkusan dan juga dakwat yang digunakan untuk mencetak;

* lembut, Johnson’s® Baby melakukan ujian berulang kali ke atas produk pembersih dengan bantuan pakar bebas untuk menilai potensi produk – daripada agen pembersih hinggalah kepada wangian malah buihnya juga – demi memastikan produk tersebut tidak menyebabkan kemerahan, rasa pedih dan kerengsaan pada kulit, rambut dan mata bayi;

* berkesan, dengan manfaat dan keberkesanan terbukti untuk menghormati dan menjaga keperluan unik kulit bayi.


“Selain komitmen kami untuk menjaga dan membelai kulit bayi, kami juga percaya pada ikatan kasih sayang antara ibu dan anak, justeru itu, produk Johnson’s® Baby juga direka untuk merangsangkan deria dan mewujudkan pengalaman yang lebih menyeronokkan,” jelas Chen. “Ini terutamanya benar pada rangkaian produk Johnson’s® Baby Bedtime, dengan pati Natural Calm™ untuk melegakan bayi dan membantu bayi tidur lebih nyenyak.”


Bengkel ini diakhiri dengan demonstrasi urutan bayi yang diketuai oleh Dr Yap, yang menjelaskan, “Deria sentuh amat penting bagi manusia, dan urutan telah lama diketahui sebagai mempunyai manfaat yang positif. Untuk bayi, penyelidikan menunjukkan bahawa urutan boleh menolong mengurangkan kembung perut, menggalakkan tumbesaran yang lebih baik dan tidur yang lebih nyenyak.”

Turut hadir pada bengkel tersebut ialah duta jenama Johnson’s® Baby, Dynas Mokhtar, yang berkongsi pengetahuan dan pengalamannya sendiri tentang kesihatan kulit bayi. “Kesihatan kulit bayi saya sungguh penting buat saya, itulah sebabnya mengapa saya bergantung pada produk Johnson’s® Baby kerana saya tahu ia terbukti secara klinikal sebagai lembut dan selamat untuk si manja saya,” katanya. “Mandi dengan mandian Johnson’s® Baby Top to Toe Wash disusuli pula dengan Johnson’s® Baby Lotion sentiasa menyebabkan bayi saya riang seharian, dan pada waktu malam saya mandikan mereka dengan Johnson’s® Baby Bedtime Bath dan disusuli dengan Johnson’s® Baby Lotion sebelum mereka masuk tidur.”

Membeli barangan online di Malaysia

Siapa belum cuba membeli baranagan secara online di Malaysia? Saya dah cuba beberapa online stores, boleh tahan. Tapi bukan semuanya sama seperti dalam gambar yang ditunjukkan.

Baru-baru ini baru beli baju dan skirt panjang dan seluar panjang. Seluar panjang XL yang saya pilih memang besar jadi saya bagi sister in law saya untuk memakai. Saya rasa ia lebih sesuai untuk dia.

Membeli bag online I pun ada cuba tapi kecewa bag datang macam baru tapi ia sudah berkarat.

---
Online shopping in Malaysia, I have tried several stores and I can say not all that I shopped is everything I expected. The material and size I get online, one of the pants I bought too big for me so I given my sister in law to wear.

Online bag shopping I tried too but it's rusty steel at the side, sad bout this and there's no exchangeable at all.
