Beware of Fake Fusion Excel Quantum Scalar Pendant


I was recently at Carrefour Wangsa Maju, where this company is opening their booth selling some sort of energy pendant, to be more precise it is called Numerology Pendant, where it awakens your hidden personal power.

One of the sales man showed me this article regarding their fellow competitor Fusion Excel, which is famous for their product the Quantum Scalar Pendant. A pendant which gives you extra energy and strength. In the article stated that the pendant by Fusion Excel actually contain an amount of Uranium which bring harms to the user. The pendant contains radioactive material!!!

The article was showed in a Hong Kong website, I tried to Googled it out for more information, and this is what I found. The pendant that contains high amount of uranium turns out to be a fake product. So users beware. I am not trying to defend the company, hell I didn't even use that product.

What I'm trying to say is that buy original. Even the fake ones have the serial number printed on the pendant. They even sell to you in the original box.

I know some of us tend to buy cheap things from ebay, I saw this pendant being sell of at a price of RM100, and that is including shipping. Please dont risk your life just to buy this cheap fake pendant.

Go to this website to read about the fake pendant memo :

Trail at Bukit Gasing

The morning is nice today, it's 10.17am and yet its not that hot. The weather to me is just nice. I just finished a 4km plus trail at Bukit Gasing here in PJ. It took me around one hour. That is so damn slow. Have to improve on the timing.

To be honest, the GPS clocked around 3km++. Somehow it didn't record from the start. Lucky that I check the unit and start recording it again. Ouh well, there's still tomorrow for me to record the trail again.

It was a nice change of wind, running in a different place, meeting different crowd. This place is famous for hiking, I have been here for 3 times and everytime I'm here there will always be people doing the trail.

I'm here to train for The North Face Challenge. Yes, it's a bit last minute to train , and coincidentally the race is just one month after Ramadhan. So even now is in the middle of Ramadhan, I have to train.

Other place that I plan to train at is TTDI Bukit Kiara trail (but there's mountain biker there, bit dangerous if I'm not careful), Batu Dam Trail (also got mountain bike, and problem in parking the car), and there's also Gunung Nuang (but it's just too far). So to me this place is perfect.

Lack of exercise

For this month of Ramadhan, I have been lacking of exercise. For some part, is due to adjustability to the shift, the sahur time, and some part of laziness. For most part is because of my hand swelled bigtime, i sprained my hand.

Up until now I can't do weights, I can run but I need to be careful so that I won't sway my hand too much. Now the swelling has subside, but I still can't lift up heavy objects, not even a 1kg dumbbell, the pain right nownis on the palm and wrist.

So far I went up hiking to Bukit Gasing with my dear Tini, just to prepare myself for the TNF100. The plan was fornthis ramadhan is more on crossfitting and weight training. But yeah, what to do. I just hope that I will recover fast. Hate it when I'm weak.

Location:Jalan Setiawangsa 16,Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia

Installous for ios

I have been reading around regarding Ipad, well since im planning to get one. So i stumble this one bit of information regarding this app that you can get in Cydia called Installous. Basically what it does is provide you with cracked apps for your Iphone, Itouch or Ipad.

You are neede to jailbreak your machine before you do this. For Ipad specifically, you at least need ios 3.2.1. Do not update to the latest 3.2.2! If you havent jailbreak it, feel free to do it at jailbreakme. You need to open this website from your device, not pc.

After you jailbreak it, you will automatically installed Cydia in it. Well, after that search for installous, in google and follow the tutorial on how to download the thing into your device.

Happy pirating guys..hehe

Gripad

I just got myself a pair of Gripad. Ordered it online after saw the ads in Muscle and Fitness magazine. It's a lifting glove.

I'm not sure whether you can call it a glove or not, because it is not a full hand glove. But it will helps for who ever that is having problem with the traditional glove, usually problems with the hand sweats, no size, smelly hands, not gripping enough.

I only tried it on the dumbbells, the grip is quite good I must say.

Based on some review it is as the same as any normal glove, I will try it later at the gym on some other time.

For time being you can buy it at the Gripad website (http://www.gripad.com/wheretobuy.php) and using this coupon code get a grip you can get yourself a 50% discount (excluding shipping)

Sleepless Night in KL

It's been few weeks now since I have sleeping disorder. I blame mainly because of working in shifts. It's 2 am and I can't sleep. My eyes are wide awake. Not even a single yawn, and I am feeling energetic.

Outside is raining, it's cold, and it's a suitable/perfect environment for people to be sleepy but not me. I wonder why, and I know I will be awake around 10-11am. Damn!!

I tried to take sleeping pills yesterday (Sominex), yeah I got some balance from my trip to Portland. Hell, that also didnt work. I still went asleep at 3am. Now I don't know what will work. (sigh).

I haven't been to office for few days now, since last Friday. My left hand swells, sprained. It swells so hard that I can barely lift my hand, I can hardly move my fingers. Luckily the x-ray shows no fracture. Thank God!

Cold and sleepless night..haih

First week of Ramadhan

It's the first weekend of Ramadhan. Well, it's like the first 5 days of fasting actually (since Ramadhan starts in the middle of the week).

I haven't hitting the gym since Ramadhan started, due to overslept (my bad). Everytime wakes up around 12, nothing to do but rushing to work. I planned to do some workout in the gym on the weekend, but to some unforseen personal problem, my left hand got swollen. And so up until now, I can't really use my left hand, I can't pickup stuff, can't hold stuff, sure enough I can't do weight training. Bad luck i guess.

I do envy you guys who can train in the night or morning before going to work. Working with a middle kind of shift do sucks big time. Work start at 2pm, at least I need to leave the house by 12.30pm. Ends at 11pm, I usually reach home around 12 ish. Will be sleeping around 1.30-2 am. By the time I woke up, its already 9-10 am.

I can hardly to morning runs on Saturday because I don't have enough sleep. And working like me, the only thing that I really need is Sleep. Sigh

Well, that's life I guess. So far the only exercise that I can do is weight training, I can't run long on the treadmill, it's just plain boring.

Ramadhan is here – Happy Fasting :)

Today marks the first day of Ramadhan, whole 30 days of fasting season. I don't think I will feel much of Ramadhan season this year because of my working time ( Europe Shift 2pm - 11pm). The only time that I will be with my family is the Sahur time, I will be breaking my fast at the office. Will try to spend more time with my family on weekends.

Training also will not be the same like the old days, running during Sahur time, and just before break-fast. I miss those days, but I just need to adapt with the new time. North Face 100km race is just around the corner (sigh).

Well, if anything goes well, I will try not to gain weight during this fasting season.

Hooked with StarCraft 2

StarCraft 2 have been launched recently. Finally, after 12 years of waiting, sequel to the most anticipated games for all time is here. Yeah, and I have finished the game, and now I wanted to sell it back. This is the first time I bought an original copy of a PC game, for the MAC to be precise.

It is a collectors edition. Comes with ArtBook, Comic, Soundtrack CD, DVD (Behind The Scene), Thumbdrive, and the Game itself.

Haven't been sleeping well since I bought the game. The only thing that crosses my mind is that I want to finish the game, I want to know the story, what will happen next. Addictive.

So now I'm hoping for some peace.

And now, I want to sell it back. What a collector I am.
