BOOST your run! I sure did. Love my new Energy BOOST by adidas Malaysia!

October 15, 2013 by thejessicat

 

Check out thy latest addition into my arsenal of shoes!

I’ve been posting about my new adidas BOOST running shoes so often but never got a chance to sit down to actually answer all your questions and properly introduce you to it.

 

 So here it is, finally! No surprises for guessing what’s in the bag! 😀 😀

 

So a while back, I got invited by adidas Malaysia to spend my afternoon in Pavilion KL to attend a very exciting launch. Being an adidas girl myself, I wasted no time in making my way there that sunny arvo.

With fellow social media influencers and the adidas Malaysia team.

 Shawn and I waiting for the excitement to unfold.

Before we knew it, dancers in a multitude of colours showcased a unique stretching/warm-up and running themed flash mob for the launch of the brand’s latest running breakthrough Energy BOOST™.

With the sudden burst of energetic workout movements by several dancers, onlookers were surprised to see a group emerge to kick off the flash mob.

 

 

From the outdoor concourse, the flash mob crew began leading the crowd in joining them to BOOST their run.
They ran in slow-motion, beckoned all the on-lookers to follow them into the mall and cheered “BOOST YOUR RUN! with every step.

 

Shoppers were treated to mystery gift vouchers by the dancers

while trailing the mall with cheers of “BOOST your run!”

 

Here’s a video of the exciting day out! 😀

Watch it, it’s super fun and I bet you would feel the rush too!

 

 

The crowd was intrigued by the commotion and followed the colourful flash mob crew’s lead.

It was a hive of activity and a roar of cheers and noises alike!

 

 Upstairs we go!

 Decked in full adidas gear, I too decided follow suit to run in slow-motion and yell

BOOST YOUR RUN!

 

We arrived at the entrance of the adidas store.

Really, where else did you think they would be taking you, huh? 😀

 

 They then continued their energetic dance moves as I looked on.

(and took a selfie in the process!)

Throwing a fantastic conclusion, they paved way for the crowd to enter adidas’ premises.

It’s shopping time! And here’s the main star of it all…

 The all-new range of Energy BOOST running shoes by adidas.

The new Energy Boost collection comes in eight new exciting colourways, four for women and four for men, respectively. This is just the general colour inclination though! I like “boy” colours too, you know. LOL!

Take a look at some of the colours on display:

 

 

Gorgeous babies!

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to my sneakers, I’m all for the eye-catching, attention-grabbing, coffee-spilling, trip over your treadmill while admirin’ my shoes kind of colours. Haha!

 

Here’s my box! Guess what color adidas picked out for me?

At that point I was really crossing my fingers hoping it wasn’t a dull or a boring colour.

 I was thrilled when I opened the box! Looks like the folks at adidas Malaysia really know me well.

Thanks guys! Much love.

 

Allow me to introduce and show you what these ground-breaking kicks are all about.

But first, let’s put it to test!

 

 I began the run at a speed of 7 and a 0 inclination on the treadmill in the adidas store

 

Based on an innovative process developed by adidas’ partner BASF, the world’s leading chemical company, solid granular material (TPU) is literally blown up and turned into small energy capsules which make up the shoe’s distinctive midsole.

The energy return is provided by energy capsules in the midsole which store and release energy so efficiently that runners feel the difference from the first moment they put the shoes on.

 

 

The shoe’s upper features adidas Techfit technology with highly durable and elastic polyurethane, providing optimal comfort and support to the entire foot while in motion.

A stretch, breathable mesh material offers the fit of a sock, while engineered powerbands across the upper provide targeted support and stabilise the foot where needed when moving. The revolutionary cushioning material also maintains its performance in almost any conditions, at unparalleled levels and over hundreds of kilometres

 

 

Additional adidas technology featured in the Energy Boost includes a special mid-foot support frame which cradles the foot in place, an extended TORSION® system from heel to toe which helps to minimise roll for more stability; an adiwear outsole which reduces wear in key sole areas and extends the life of the shoe; and an external heel counter which maximises the heel fit and comfort during  the run.

 

Increased the speed to about a level 10 and an incline of 3.

I could definitely feel the obvious springy bounce!

It sure made me take a wider and bigger stride with each step I take whilst running. I experienced the remarkable boost that the Energy BOOST tech prides itself on. After several times using it to date, can testify that they really did more than walk to talk. They ran! 😛

 

 

 

When tested at extreme temperatures from +40 to -20 degrees Celsius, BOOST™ foam performs more consistently and does not lose its cushioning properties like standard EVA. BOOST™ also maintains its key characteristics better over its lifetime than the comparable EVA midsole.

 

 There was even an experiment area for us to test the technology out first-hand.

 

Previously, I used to train barefoot or with my adidas’ flexible lightweight shoes

– the Adipure 360 which I’ve previously blogged about.

 

They used to be my favorites! But now I’ve got a new favorite.

 

My bright pink Energy BOOST of course! 😀

However, both have their mighty strengths for differing routines.  I use the

Adipure 360 mainly for circuits, crossfits, TRX and strength training.

 

 While I run and sprint more with the Energy BOOST.

Even during circuit trainings, I loved how the Energy BOOST pushed me to push even harder.

Imagine having rocket launchpads at your feet. You catch my drift.

 

To me, the Energy BOOST is really versatile!

Also, as a runner myself, the BOOST™ foam material and brilliant cushioning technology really stole my heart.

I’m an overnight roadrunner now!

 

 

The new colourful Energy Boost collection retails at RM550 and is available nationwide at all adidas Sport Performance as well as concept stores in Pavilion KL, Suria KLCC, The Gardens, Empire Mall Subang and Paradigm Mall.

BOOST™ cushioning is also available in previous versions of running shoes – adistar and adizero running footwear.

 

Get yours to boost your run now – on your mark, get set, GO! 😀

An intimate wine & dine at the private evening with Red Army Watches Malaysia!

January 17, 2013 by thejessicat

 

 

 

 

Men, when compared to their female counterparts, are definitely at a losing end in terms of the accessories they have at their dispense. 

 

I'm not referring to flamboyant embellishments hanging around their necks nor chunky, oversized diamonds that gleam from a mile away.

A certain accessory; very small in size, but speaks abundance of a man's confidence and success.

 

No prizes for guessing. It's none other than the watch he wears on his wrist

(In this case, it's MY WRIST la) Smiley

 

I was honoured to be invited to a private event, by the renowned watch retailers of South East Asia – Red Army Watches Malaysia.

They brought us an intimate evening of a formal wine & dine in the heart of the city centre, Pavilion KL. 

 

Thought of going with the corporate chic look tonight 

Jessicat wears: Bandage dress in hot pink (a gift from a good friend!) | Hair-band in pink by Diva |

Tote bag in Raspberry Sorbet by Burberry | Blazer in royal blue (a gift from mom!) |

Peep-toe heels in navy by a boutique in Newcastle |

 

 

The massive traffic jam towards the city coupled with the heavy thunderstorm got me arriving a tad late for the evening. (Sorry for the wait, guys!)

My seat was right beside Mr Soemantri Kusumadi and directly in front of Ms Julianna Chai  – the lovely masterminds of Red Army Watches! 

 

With the husband & wife team!

 

They were such friendly, pleasant and down-to-earth people! 

I learned a lot about Red Army Watches from the introduction, and the stories they shared about their humble beginnings in 2004 till what they have become today – a chain of nine outlets in the region (Malaysia, Singapore & Indonesia) 

 

Ms Julianna imparting us with an interesting, yet brief history of each of the watches

 

I was so enticed by their impressive collection of European imported timepieces and the success stories they related to us at the table!

All of us enjoyed the conversation over a delightful spread of Western cuisine at Circus Restaurant Lounge.

 

Here are some of the mouthwatering meals we had for dinner! 

 


My favourite White Russian cocktail (not in the menu, but you can ask for it!)

 

Truffle Shoestring Fries with grated parmesan & parsley tossed in truffle oil

 

Rack of Lamb served with rosemary potatoes and pistachio praline

 

My favourite Grilled Salmon Fillet served with lemon & caper sauce and sauteed asparagus

 

Codfish with Truffle Butter Foam served with mashed pumpkin and sauteed asparagus

 

Fondant Au Chocolat served with toffee & vanilla sauce and ice-cream

 

Lavender Creme Brulee served with peach sorbet, transparent orange tuile and caramalized fresh peach

 

It was definitely a scrumptious meal. I'm sure you can tell by the photos I took! 

Those weren't even ALL the food on our table, by the way. Nothing beats a wonderful evening with good company and amazing food!

 

I bet you must be keen to see the glamorous and exquisite timepieces already, right?

Well… here comes the best bit now! 

 

With my favourite piece from their range of watches!

 

During the session, I had the chance to personally admire, hold and even wear some of the timepieces in their collection

Totally smitten by their charming collection of luxury timepieces ♥

 

First on show is my favourite of them all,

the 100 Jahre (Years) Automatic 7608-1 by Zeppelin! 

 

Released in 2011, this watch commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Zeppelin Watch Company, which was founded by the German Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, inventor of the Zeppelin aircraft. 

The Zeppelin line of watches is inspired by the elegance of zeppelin air travel, and its classic appearance is evident in its design and features.

 

RM3,073.00.


Measuring 42 millimetres in diameter, and water resistant at up to 5 atmospheres, this watch features a mechanic hand-wound Cal. 3133 movement, a 12 hour Chronograph, 23 jewel bearings and a crystal exhibition case on the back. 

Its beauty is characterized by the white ivory face, Breguet-style hands, black markings and a domed sapphire crystal cap on the dial, built into a satin stainless-steel frame with a calf grain leather strap.

 

***

 

Next on display was one of my favourites too,

the Baikal Moonphase 31679 by Poljot!

 

Inspired by the Russian Winter and named after Lake Baikal (in Southern Siberia), this watch measures 43 millimetres in diameter and is water resistant at up to 5 atmospheres.

It is encased by a domed sapphire crystal cap on the dial, and its screwed glass back allows the wearer to enjoy the gold-plated clockwork, finished with "Cotes de Geneve".

 

 RM4,124.00.

 

It features a polished stainless-steel case, guilloched dial (replicating the waters of Lake Baikal), moon phase indicator, Chronograph and classic Roman numeral markings. 

It's no wonder why I love this beauty so much… I've always had a thing for Chronograph watches! 

 

Putting it on with care

 

Wanna see?

 

Apart from reminding you of that meme, how do I look?

Absolutely in love with it. Dear Santa, you know what to do 

 

***

 

Next was the Bauhaus 6070-5 by Junkers. 

Taking a step back from the usual aviation-influenced style of Junkers watches, the Bauhaus line borrows heavily from the modernist art movement of the same, birthing the modern, yet elegant, watch you see here. 

 

RM1,070.00.

 

This particular model measures 40 millimetres in diameter and is water-resistant at up to 3 atmospheres. 

It features a quartz-controlled Ronda 515 movement, a beige face with neat black markings, and a hesalite cap, encased in a stainless steel frame.

 

***

 

The next piece comes in a very unique, astronaut-like casing. Why? You'll see.

 

The Gagarin 50th Anniversary Chronograph Special Edition by Sturmanskie

 

This fine piece of jewellery has quite a history to it.

In 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to travel into space. 

During his 108 minute mission, he wore a Skurmanskie wrist watch. 50 years later, Sturmanskie has released this special edition piece to commemorate his historic journey.

 

RM3,964.00.


This majestic piece measures 44 millimetres in diameter and is water resistant at up to 3 atmospheres. 

It features a Poljot 3133 manual-winding movement, orange markings and a graphic of the earth (no doubt what Gagarin would have seen during his time in space) on the dial. 

This dial cap is of sapphire glass and encased in black PVD-coated stainless steel, its black rubber strap is embossed with Gagarin's name, and the back of the watch features Gagarin's bust in space attire. Supply is extremely limited!

 

***

 

Next was the La Neuveville Limited Edition by Rama Swiss Watch (RSW).


Released in 2012 to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the city of La Neuveville, home of RSW.

This watch was created in very limited quantities (700 to be exact!). There are two lines of the La Neuveville series: one automatic, and one quartz; only 700 of each model are available.

 

RM4,970.00.

 

This particular model measures 42 millimetres in diameter and is water-resistant at up to 3 atmospheres. It features a sexy stainless-steel case with a sleek eggplant dial, steel markings and its famous RSW crank crown.

The Limited Edition number is engraved on its side and the strap is made of black leather. 

 

***

 

Last, but but certainly not least, is a real beauty, and a very unique work of art too! 

 

the Gnomonic GT One by Schaumburg Watch

 

Handmade, featuring only one hand (to model the ancient sundial), this racing-inspired watch is the ultimate in chic men's fashion and Swiss watch making. 

The GT One measures a 46 millimetre diameter for ultimate time-keeping accuracy, and is water-resistant at up to 5 atmospheres. It features a Swiss-made SW20A automatic movement, and is available with a chronometer is desired. 

 

 RM4,638.00

LOL silly me, I'm holding it upside down!

 

The dial comes in both black and grey, and is capped with sapphire crystal.

The case is available in both brushed stainless-steel and black PVD, and its black leather a-jour strap features both red and dark-grey seams. 


 
ADDITIONAL INFO
 
 
CASE
To maintain your timepiece's appearance, it should be cleaned regularly. 
This can be done by wiping your timepiece completely with a soft dry cloth regularly to remove dirt 
 
 When storing timepieces together, they should be kept slightly apart from each other. 
This is to ensure that they do not rub against each other which can cause scratches and hasten signs of wear.
 
 
GEMSTONES ON WATCHES
To prevent them from losing their luster and color, avoid exposure to elements such as perfume, soap,
cosmetics, hairsprays and acids. Tap water is best for cleaning gemstones.
 
 
There you have it, all six wonderfully luxurious timepieces described in detail, for your reading pleasure. Are you amazed yet? 
 'Cos I definitely was, whilst researching on the stories behind each watch. 
 

Lo and behold, all six of the pieces that was displayed to us today!

Oh my, such beauties. What I'd give to own them all!

 

As a woman, I've always been an ardent subscriber of how the best piece of adornment on a man of should always be his watch, and is all the jewellery he needs.

Wristwatches are held in high regard as one of the few ways a man can exude his image, status and taste in fashion.


A wise man once said:


"When a guy takes off his coat, he's not going to fight.

When a guy takes off his wristwatch, watch out!"

– Al McGuire

 

Few more photos of the night! 

 

Brought bestiePam along to join me 

 

After dinner with Ms Julianna and Xavier

 

Final photo of the night before I left! Xavier and I

Thanks Xav and Red Army Watches, for a great evening 

 

Tonight was not only a night of luxury, but I went home twice as knowledgeable in wrist jewellery.

A marvellous collection by Red Army Watches, I must say… undoubtedly acquirable timepieces indeed!

Tropicana City Mall @ Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

One Utama @ Bandar Utama, Malaysia

I’m born for the gym! Adidas Adipure 360 kicks off (literally!) at Pavilion KL

December 27, 2012 by thejessicat

     

 

 

Being a fitness/sports enthusiast & a gym junkie, I do own several pairs of running, hiking, sports & gym shoes which I often wear for the different workouts I do.

More often than not, our feet is the most neglected part of our body; which is why I am a firm believer of investing in the best pair of workout shoes so as to give them the comfort they (and we!) deserve.  


Stay back!

I have the kick-ass power of Adidas' new adiPure 360 on my feet 

 

This multi-purpose & super-bendable pair of shoes is something every fellow gym bug would love to own

Adidas threw several roadshows around Klang Valley & East Malaysia to celebrate its launch!

 

When Adidas first launched it's brand new adiPure 360 training shoe,

I was invited to attend their official launch held at the main concourse of Pavilion KL.

 

This was what I was wore that afternoon.

I decided to come decked in my favourite gym-wear as I was also heading to the gym right after.

 

Jessicat wears : Top -to-toe by Adidas

Clearly, I'm an Adidias fan, eh? ;)

 

I was excited to see what Adidas has in store for us with the launch of their new footwear range.

Surely it was going to be something that all gym enthusiasts would kill for! 

 

Maggy and I. We both love working out real hard & nasty 

 

The afternoon kicked-off when the team from the Adidas management shared with us some very detailed product knowledge on conceptualizing the technology for the shoes, crafting of it and all the way up to the results.

It was set to give rise to an amazing user experience when gym junkies (like me!) put them on during our workouts. 

     

She explained to us more about the adiPure 360 design-wise

 

While he explained more about the dynamics and the support it gives our feet

 

You know how most sports have footwear designed specially for the sport itself, right?

Basketballers wear basketball shoes, runners have their running spiked shoes, hikers have their hiking boots

 

Well, Adidas' new adiPure 360 is designed primarily for gym usage!

 

Two of my favorite colours from the adiPure 360 range!

 

These shoes uses super light and flexible materials; featuring the latest in technology to support multi-directional movements, like lunges, squats, leg curls, aerobics and so on. 

 

Fitness & wellness instructor Yu Jin sharing how this shoe works best for gym workouts

 

The anatomically designed shoe provides comfort and support throughout every move we bust in the gym.

adiPure 360 allows our feet to move as nature intended – almost as if barefoot! – but still giving our feet the protection it needs during our strenuous workouts.

 

 

This allows us to get the most out of our workouts by helping us in natural strength building, agility and balance. Muscles work harder that way! 

 

They now have a Men's version & a women's version too!


 

Combat fighters, dancers and gym instructors were present during the event to showcase the dynamics of the adipure 360 training shoes on stage!

They performed an energetic workout demo which included Yoga,a Body Combat and MTV Dance.

 

 

You can watch the action right here :

 

httpv://youtu.be/Vuap3of9wAA

OPPP OPPP OPPP!!

 

Clearly, the design and overall flexibility of the adiPure 360 helps in promoting unrestricted movement and harnesses the body's mechanics, also aiming to strengthen the muscles in the feet, toes, ankles and lower legs.

 

   The Adidas team with their bright-coloured Adidias gym attire and of course, the adiPure 360

 

I love how their feet come together in such a haphazard manner, uniting all the colours of the adiPure360 into a wonderful image of teamwork.

They were such an active and lively bunch too! 

 

When it was lunchtime, Adidas Malaysia gave us all a lovely treat at Dome's Cafe directly adjacent to the main concourse. 

 

My Spicy Prawn Aglio Olio

 

Some friends I bumped into that afternoon! 

 

With some more fellow fitness enthusiastic friends at the event!

 

Looks some lovely photos with Amber as well

 

Maggy, Yu Jin and I

 

They've even had an interactive game for us to play to test out the adiPure 360! :D

 

I was supposed to step on each correct answer (something like Dance Dance Revolution!)

 

Haha! So much fun :D

 

Prior to wearing these amazing pair of training shoes, I always fear my sports shoes would give way at the part (it has already started to fray!) where it is bent to the maximum when I do my warm-ups, lunges, interval hill climbing and squats. :/

   

Finally, a shoe that is born for the gym. I can do all my workouts in peace

 

I went directly to the gym with my new gym shoes and put it on immediately.

Was so pleased with it! My kickbacks, lunges, squats, jumping jacks, burpees, core planks, leg curls, crunches and even running on the treadmill was a breeze like never before! :D

 

Putting my new adiPure 360 to test… it sure was worth it!

 

I'm this much closer to my goals. Come on.. you can do this, Jess! ;)

 

 

For once, I felt like I wasn't wearing a thing! 

The adiPure 360 was light and unobstructing, yet gives me a very good grip when I lift weights or run on the treadmill.

It felt so soft when my toes rubbed against the interior of the shoe and its material hugged my feet like second skin. 

 

 

Loving my brand new adiPure 360 gym shoes 

 

Thanks Adidias! :D

You've come up with such a brilliant idea! So glad the adiPure 360 was designed with the gym in mind – it is music to the ears of my fellow gym rats and I! :D

 

It was so snug and flexible, adapting to all my movements to the maximum 

 

You can get yours at RM350 from all Adidias stores.
They were so quick, I checked it out on the day itself..it was already launched & ready for sale!

The Sunday Times XIII: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

December 16, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

It's Sunday again! This week was busy as usual. So much I want to blog about but so little time.

If only I spent 15 minutes to prepare an entire blog post, that would be great! JOY.

 

But no, I take more time that that as I not only edit ALL the photographs to perfection, I also write the article with conviction and ensure in-depth detail.

I really do, and it takes a hell lot of time! Grrr.

 

But sometimes I wished I didn't. Le sigh!

 

I think you can tell by now (after 7 years!) that I'm not the sort of blogger who posts up a few photos and several sentences and call it a blog post.

Since when has blogging ever comprised copy-pasted facts and a stock image?

Quality control has always been the key! 

 

But I do realize I must stop this "perfectionist" attitude from hindering my efficiency & timeliness

It may be my strength, but it can also be my weakness! ;(

 

So I just drew up a near-impossible schedule this morning to make the rest of my December even busier.

It's a challenge.

 

Far-fetched or not, I gave myself incredibly tigjt deadlines to meet everyday in order to clear off all my back log of 30 blog posts!  I can, I must!

 

In the meantime, my kitty can keep me company all curled up on my lap

while I slave away on the keyboards 

 

Have you noticed that we are more inclined to be productive and things actually do get done if there is a target, a goal or a dream ahead of us?

If there's none, well, instead of procrastinating, set yourself those deadlines to push yourself!

 

It's the same principle I apply for my gym workout routines.

 

If I get complacent, I'll stop taking it seriously and then there will be no point, no drive, no motivation anymore

Moral of the story? If there is no push, there will be no results 

 

Anyway, here's what I've been up to this week.

 

Attended the launch of NIVEA's Pure & Natural range at Delicious! Even Kate Middleton uses them

So glad to bump into Nadia, it's been a while  She was the MC for the afternoon too

*full blog post soon!*

 

Thursday night being serenaded by Vince Chong during the Merry Guinness christmas dinner

at Dirty Nelly's @ Life Centre by Guinness Malaysia

*full blog post will be published on Christmas day!*

 

My Friday coordinate comprised earthy and neutral shades!

Jessicat wears : Corduroy cropped jacket in brown by Voir | White Paris graphic tank top by TopShop |

Grey denims by TopShop | Metal feather necklace a gift from Konzy |

Buckled leather heels in brown by Pedro | Armbag in white by Seed

 

Attended the launch of the iPhone 5 in Malaysia on Friday morning

 

Made lunch! Organic Durum Wholewheat Spaghetti with Haricot Beans, Mushrooms

and lots of freshly chopped garlic, onions & oregano 

 

Grabbed some dessert at one of my favorite places – Circus KL @ Pavilion KL

Had a Lez 3 Chocolat (it's a special… off the menu!) Thanks Ralph! :) It was delicious

 

Noms & chilltimes with Ralph, Louise & Konzy. Love yall! ;)

 

Chilling at The Pressroom Bistro @ Pavilion KL

Konzy had something called Fancy Sencha Tea while I had Bellagio Hot Chocolate

 

I loved my Hot Chocolate by Bellagio! None of that watered down crap or typical Cadbury sachets

This was rich, thick and the aroma was amazing  The Fancy Sencha Tea? Well, it was good but we didn't find anything too fancy about it… as its name suggested :P

 

Had a lunchdate with Konzy at Teppanyaki Express @ Food Republic, Pavilion KL

He had a Sliced Lamb set (bottom left) with Squids for the sides

while I had Salmon Fish set (top left) with Mushrooms

 

I've never had teppanyaki made right in front of me with an iron griddle by our own designated chef!

Both our sets came with rice, clear raddish soup, beansprouts and green leafy vegetables 

 

I loved it. T'was a new experience & a hearty meal! Thanks Konzy  Definitely recommended 

 

Had a healthy lunch yesterday at O'Briens Irish Sandwich Bar @ The Curve!

 

I've recommended this joint before in previous editions of The Sunday Times.

Konzy had his usual fave Big Club Sandwich (above) while I tried something new today, the Chicken Slice, Swiss & Guacamole (below). This is one of our choices if we're feeling healthy!

 

Here's my current song of the week by the way 

Do take a listen to my current fave dubstep track that's been on loop on my iPod all week!

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vLFnx2udp0

Might wanna check 'em out 

 

 

Before I go, I have some good news to share. I will be roadtripping and making my final drive to Penang with my trusty ol' white Kelisa to make the switch this Wednesday.

 

Switch? Yes, the switch to my brand new dream car.

It arrived my home in Penang last week and I'm coming for it! 

If you're following me on Twitter, you would already know what ride it will be.

A bright red 1.6CC Ford Fiesta Hatchback Sports Edition that cost a whopping RM86K!

 

Probably not expensive for some of you rich kids on the block but it is, to me 

Looks like I'll be eating bread and water every month when its time for me to pay the installments haha.

 

 

Oh and, I've also paid off all my credit card debts of 2012!

I'm now debt free because I'd hate to carry any debts over to another year. Woohoooooo!

 

This is how my bank account looks now. Depleted :/

Hang in there! I'll work even harder and be more prudent to get you fat and healthy again!

 

So if you owe anyone anything to anyone, make sure you pay them all off before the new year! 

Wouldn't you rather start your 2013 clean? You have two weeks… The clock is ticking.

 

On that note, always be prudent and have a lovely week ahead, dearest readers!

Apple fanatics went crazy! The iPhone 5 launches at Celcom Blue Cube @ Pavilion KL

December 15, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

It's here! It's here! It's finally here!

When the clock struck 12 midnight on the 14th of December 2012, it marked the exact moment the iPhone 5 began its official launch in Malaysia.

 

Wowza!

 

The start of the weekend had barely begun, but Apple fanboys & fangirls had already started queuing up outside even before the outlet opened its doors for business.

That was what I saw at the Blue Cube outlet in Pavilion KL when Celcom launched the iPhone 5!

 

 

So many people? No surprise. Celcom is Malaysia's best network with the widest coverage after all

I made my way to the city for a lunch date with Konzy and couldn't help but to pop by the store first to see the iPhone 5 in the flesh with my very own eyes. 

 

The queue!


Played with both the iPhone 4S & the iPhone 5 in the store and did a quick physical comparison.

Hey hey, look what we have here! :D

 

Compared to its predecessor the iPhone 4S (above), it is physically thinner, lighter, longer and more solid

 

Holding it in the palm of my hand was a thrill in itself… and you know you're carrying the world's most sought after Apple iPhone 5! But unfortunately, it wasn't mine :/

 

Kinda makes you a notch cooler, methinks 

 

Yes I am a convert.

I used to think iPhones and Apple products were a tad overrated (maybe I was jealous that I didn't own one at the time?) but the moment I got one to call my own, I could finally see why it was THAT popular 

 

One of the many new owners of the iPhone 5 in Malaysia!

 

Why don't you get one from Celcom Blue Cube for yourself? :)

If you get your iPhone 5 with Celcom, you'll be in for :

BIGGEST savings of up to RM1,921

HIGHEST data volume of up to 6.2GB per month

BUNDLED USAGE up to 1,500 in minutes/SMS/MMS

FREE 1GB Celcom First WiFi access

 

Get it get it get it! 

 

 

Cool, eh? They have the best rates & offers the most savings too.

So here are the packages/plans available on the Celcom network :

 

 

I've did the math. The total payment upon registration for each iPhone 5 is as follows:

iPhone 5 16GB : RM2038

iPhone 5 32GB : RM2338

iPhone 5 64GB : RM2638


Ready to unbox these brand new babies?
