CHIEF BOOTCAMP MAY '11 SESSION 4.

Waking up at 5am to workout at the CHIEF's ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP (COBC) 3 times a week should get easier after err....  23 months/256 sessions/256 hours since we first started almost two years ago but it did not. This morning, waking up at 5am was short of a disaster. Somehow that extra one hour sleep before sunrise felt so luxurious... heaven!! Being under the duvet in an 18 degree aircond cold breeze was so ... Oh gawd.... indescribable BUT the bootcamp call was even more powerful! Nothing feels better than to start the day with at least 500 calories burn, the motivating scream of Otai recruits and the inspiring drive of Sarge Dann was too irresistable! I quickly jumped out of bed at 5:10am after 'snoozing' the alarm clock 5 times.

I arrived punctual at 5:45am after ramming the Maserati pedal and was in a great relief thinking I had 'deprived' other recruits from a sexier legs being the 'reward' for late-comers but I was sabotaged!!! Everybody ended up with a sexier toner legs when there were 4 'late-comers'!!!! (highlighted in bold- NOT because of ME ya! *wink bluwek).

ALLIANZ FRANCHISE CONVENTION 2011- PART 1

I attended for the third consecutive year the ALLIANZ Franchise convention 2011 that was held in Bandung, Indonesia. Click HERE for last year's convention that was held in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The all expenses paid by ALLIANZ saw 200 franchisee flew to Sabah in a few batches and the last group arrived at the Husein Sastranagar International Airport, Bandung on 26 May 2011.

Together in Bandung, Indonesia were PEDA Vice-President Abu Lais Walli Mohamed, PEDA Secetary-General Jeff Lim Si Heong and Vice-President (R) Razak Aziz. We were greeted and transported by 5 luxury coaches to the pre-booked Hotel Hyatt Regency, Bandung. An escapade, excursion cum work.........

(CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE)

22 April 2011 was the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP's final trial session at Damansara Heights. The first session saw many recruits being introduced to various forms of workout. The second trial session introduced recruits to some of the 'toys' used while working out and today' s session was the orgasm of the trial! We introduced them to the Battling ROPES... and supposedly TRX.. but it was too muddy and flooded for TRX that we had to give it a miss.

CHIEF'S FRIDAY MADNESS AT BANDAR UTAMA ALPHA & BRAVO PLATOON

We ended the last session in April with the FRIDAY MADNESS!!! A war cry was issued late yesterday for everybody to gather at Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) park for a high intensity explosive workout.

This was to spice up our workout, burn mega calories and to give our poor field at Bandar Utama BU3/1 a rest.  Everybody gathered as early as 5:30am for a scheduled battle at 5:45am. Everybody was so excited to be working out under the moon light... err or maybe under the street light. TGI Friday??? OMG it Friday Madness!!


CHIEF'S SECOND TRIAL SESSION AT DAMANSARA HEIGHTS

After working our under a heavy downpour this morning at BU-Alpha, I wished DH-Zulu trial session at Damansara Heights too had that pleasure of training in the rain... not for anything else but because I want them to feel what I had to endure this morning especially to those BU recruits whom thought they can escape the rain this morning.

True enough... my wish came true!! It rain and the field was flooded at the second CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, at Damansara Heights' trial session today. After happily overslept and escape the heavy-rain 5:45am alpha platoon session at Bandar Utama, this women Shear Ling Toh came to Damansara Heights, DH-Zulu Platoon with an umbrella!! AN UMBRELLA!!! Can you beat that? Someone came to DH-ZULU for bootcamp using an umbrella...... With us today, we had Super Kiasu Joannita Zaleha Yusoff, Shy-Guy Noor A. Othman, Mek Chan Meng Yam, Chiing LING Shear Ling, Lizza Abdul Rahim, Mt Kinabalu Climber Fatintafrina Mohd Tareh, Jeremy Liew, Jun King, Lilian Lee, Mariam, Shaz Sabri, Noraa etc...

CHIEF'S SESSION IN THE RAIN AT BANDAR UTAMA

(*Pics from library and internet)

Rain, Hail or Shine.... public holiday, weekdays or weekend.. training at the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP was never halted and stopped. Infact, instructors without any remorse were there at the training field as early as 5am. Me.. I arrived 2 minutes before the roll-call Phewww...

Its been awhile since we last had our session under a good downpour in a muddy football field and that was today's special!! a good shower & mud spa!! but what was lacking was a good massage... Why? because today's session aches the legs, abs, shoulder and chest with the Crazy Arse Complexes Focus!!! Uuh say what? yes you heard it right, we had the Crazy Arse Complexes Focus that began with a focus in LEGS!!

CHIEF'S SPIRIT OF BOOTCAMP - HALL OF FAME

*Extracted from the SOB Hall of Fame PAGE at www.bootcampmalaysia.com



CHIEF'S BOOTCAMP APRIL BRING-A-FRIEND DAY

Its Bring-A-Friend (BAF) Day at the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Bandar Utama today 15 APRIL 2011 and Sarge (COBC) Dann welcome those friends with ROPES and some cardio killer!!! Sarge (COBC) Dann was assisted by Corporal (COBC) Tom & Corporal (COBC) Nawal whom both took a circuit each. The platoon with a mixture of friends, Ranger, Seal and Deltas wass divided into three sections namely Alpha, Bravo & Charlie. I was in Team Charlie with Debbie Burgess, SOB Shear Ling Toh, Adibah Mohamad, Jeremy and 15 others.

Team Charlie was unlucky to start the session with Sarge (OBC) Dann, Bravo went with Corporal (COBC) Nawal and Team Alpha with Corporal (COBC) Tom. We had a heart-breaking moment with Sarge Dann with the Killer Cardio... maybe more like a heart tsunami-pumping moment. The endless recent oversea traveling had taken a toll on the stamina. I was breathless doing the killer cardio with the mountain Climbers, Star-Jump, burpees and Grunts.

GARDEN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL YEAR 3 & 4, SPORTS DAY

NOTE: GIS PARENTS & TEACHERS, Please email me at arminbaniaz@gmail.com if you want yours or your child's pictures to be removed from the blog. Thank you.

When in Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and other part of the world played water on SONGKRAN festival, Year-3 and Year 4 students at the GARDEN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL played sport games on its annual sports day that was held on 13 April 2011.

There were at least 300 students from year 3 and 4 that participated to win the pre-prepared 8 SPORTS games. Out of the 8 games, Aaraf Armin won 1st place for the Longest Throw and 3rd placing for Tripple Jump Basket Ball.

Ms Carlie Bassett, having seen the Canon G11 kick ass camera that Nawal Aini Zulkifli was holding requested for her to be the voluntary official photographer for class 3W. Ms Carlie Bassett is Aaraf Armin's class teacher. This blog is the result of paparazzi Nawal Aini Zulkifli's hard work in photo-shooting.

See the pictures for yourself. The kids just love playing sports.

ANXIETIES & EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE (EFT)

I befriended anxiety/'Butterflies' even before I was in my teen. During my pre-teens when I was schooling at Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Kampung Tunku/ Kampung Tunku Primary School, I had a crush on a classmate... or was it an infatuation but I had a storm of 'Butterflies' in the stomach everytime a girl approach me and I wanted so much to talk to this one girl but I just couldnt. I attended co-ed school only during my standard 6 at SRK Kampung Tunku.. all other years until college was in an all boy school.. DAD!!!!!

Although I mastered that art of courting girls in Secondary School but that 'butterflies' resides in me in my other 'interests'. During an undergraduate studies in United Kingdom, that butterflies was at its worst state when I had to give an opening speech during the University Student Union election in 1992 (I was 18 years old), fortunately it well well. That butterflies too never fail to recur during every examination. Similar butterflies kept occuring everytime I had to sing at functions. Somehow, I was always picked at function with karoeke. People like to pick on me and I would never say no but everytime I was picked to sing, the last laugh was at them.. it rain heavily!! When I ran my first 10km race at the PJ Half Marathon some 9 years ago, I could not sleep the whole night... thanks to these 'butterflies'.

Thankfully, I outgrow all of those predicaments but these butterflies can grow into some sort of 'phobia' if it is not attended to. A close friend of mine who is now 53 years old are facing similar agony and had developed a phobia in public speaking. Alot of other friends sabotage themselves and shy away from attempting many activities because of the same 'butterflies'. Some refuse to sing at karoeke or using a microphone for fear of people listening and laughing at her voice but would sing her heart out without any microphone and in close-door.

Some recruits at the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP whom had gained so much in fitness, stamina and strength ended up sabotaging themselves from giving their best performance during any races or running event due to anxiety...
 
This butterflies or anxieties can occur at whatever age from pre-teen, teens, mid life and/or during golden age but whatever the anxieties, fear and phobia that anyone has (at whatever age) , it can be completely eliminated and avoided with the right healing technique and that technique is called the EFT - abbreviation for Emotional Freedom Technique. This healing technique discovered by Gary Craig some 20yrs ago.

How I wish, I had this technique way back during pre-teen!!! But it is never too late, especially for COBC recruits running the ENERGIZER NIGHT RACE this weekend. My partner at the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Dr Malek Aziz who is a long-time practitioner of the EFT is giving out FREE consultation to help any recruits from the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP to rid their anxiety for the upcoming race.
Since Dr Malek Aziz recovered from cancer, he had spend most of his free time in learning alternative & Complementary Healing Methods, Quantum Physics, Zhingnen Qigong, Reiki, Healing by Visualisation and as well as EFT. Dr Malek Aziz believes in holistic healing ie to be healed from diseases, one has to heal their body, mind and soul.

There are subtle energies that flow thru our bodies along  definite pathways called Meridians. Chinese physicians have discovered this 5,000 yrs ago! These subtle energies are the centerpiece of EFT & Acupunture.(So, EFT can be regarded as "Emotional Acupunture). Both disciplines have grown rapidly and as time unfolds,they are destined to play important role in emotional & physical healing.

CHIEF'S MARCH GRADUATION PARTY

The 10th CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP (COBC), Malaysia graduation party was held at the ECOBAR, DAMANSARA PERDANA and the theme for the party was Stripey & Dotty which actually means stripe and polka dot clothing.

This will be the first COBC party that Chun Chia Kai @ Corporal Chun is absent. Corporal Chun is away in Indonesia for... work? business? leisure? Secret Training?

And this is the first party that Ilyanna Aylin Ayob too had missed. Ilyanna Aylin Ayob was in Paris to run the Paris International 42.2km Marathon that was held on her birthday. What better way to celebrate a birthday than to run a marathon!!! double thumbs up to Ilyanna. Most recruit from COBC became runners and marathoners having gained the best of fitness, stamina and confident.

The theme for every party differs every month. We have had various theme but this is the first time that we will be in colours!! Lets see how colourful are we.......

2XU 12KM RUN

Birds of a feather flocks together. When recruits at the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP run any events, they run together. Months ago, Daing Daniel Fitri, Ody Nurfuadi Ruzalli, James Fong, Chan Meng Yam,  Joe Liew, Lilian Lee, Joanitta Zaleha Yusoff, Noor A. Othman, Norliza Abdul Khaled, John Chuah, Armin Baniaz Pahamin, Nawal Aini Zulkifli registered themselves for the 2XU 12km run in Singapore.


These Runners left for Singapore to run the 2XU 12km race as early as 3 days before the actual event that is scheduled on 10 April 2011. The last batch to leave for Singapore was led by Daing Daniel Fitri whom left after the USJ1, Chief ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP ALPHA platoon session 6 training.

Those that left a few days earlier was Virgin Runners Chan Meng Yam and Kiasu Runner Lilian Lee whom had just recovered from injury, Joe Liew & James Fong and serious runners Joanitta Zaleha Yusoff and Noor A. Othman. Some left earlier to carbo load and some left earlier to go shopping!!!


GIS Primary POP IDOLS

Garden International School charted another record with organising a funtabulous singing competition ala American idol having launched the first GIS PRIMARY POP IDOL in conjunction with the International Week to end the semester before the Easter break.

It was the first Pop Idol, singing competition since inception in 1951. A total of 84 students registered for the Singing Competition and the shortlisting for semi-finalist and finalist has been ongoing for the whole month. There were various criteria to shortlist the semi-finalists and finalists. Today, 7 April 2011, is D-day to vote for the winner!!! 

A few weeks ago, the three best friends Aaraf Armin, Jishern Yuen and Sumhaer went to the GIS Office and registered themselves for the competition without even discussing with the parents. We are very proud to see our 8-9 years old children making their own decision and choosing their own interest without our intervention and of course, we are very supportive and further encourage them. From the 85 students competing, 8 were selected (or was it voted) to the Finals. There will be three winners from the 8 finalists, the Grand Hall was prepared to receive students and guests.
