<br />
Reason mainly --<br />
<br />
1) NO trusted customer reviews yet in the Net...<br />
<br />
2) Dontknow whats the durability issues longterm. ESPECIALLY the known peeling of the 'leather' surfaces of the chair...<br />
...not to mention doubtful (?bad) aftersales services which was discussed inthe forums.<br />
<br />
3) Definitely not as nice looking as the Osim or Gintell ones.. looks bulky a bit<br />
<br />
But given the fact that my wife Really loves this model...so ive decided to give it a go and buy it -- as her bday present as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
It came with 3 parts, making it easier to get thru our main house door. The installation only takes around 10-15 mins.<br />
<br />
u really need to have space to put this chair bcause on recline the length is 1.9metres... width is about 84cm. Lucky weve already measured our space before buying it.<br />
<br />
2colors are available..red and dark brown. We chose the latter as itll mask pen marks more effectively.<br />
<br />

What i love Best is the ability of this chair to concentrate on the diferent body areas namely shoulder /waist/full body and legs/thighs- airbags</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
During the first day 1used it for nearly 2hrs in total ...until my body aches! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...not to mention dozed off twice during the massage.... which is excellent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Personally i think our current purchase is Worth it, as this chair is enjoyed by the whole family, including my kids.... But if youre going for a massage chair you DEFINITELY NEED TO TEST IT FIRST....plus the budget lah haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bcoz your preference is definitely different than ours..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Preferably test it head to head for comparison... another brand that we didnt test before making our decision was Gintell which i think more or less is equally good... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
however again the high end and more function ones will definitely costs more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your Money Your Choice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will update you all again if theres any problems/ etc with the massage chair.</div>

<br />
And not even the RM1/ 3minutes paid massage has also attracted my attention before.<br />
<br />
Everything started when i was asked to become a daily 'massager' for my wife..<br />
she kept on complaining about having regular aches and pains...<br />
<br />
Bored with that i started to find alternatives for her.... err actually for ME to skip the daily massage hehe.<br />
<br />
So we started on a massage chair hunt a few weeks back.<br />
<br />
The WORST part is Not much of commercials either in TV or internet for this group of house 'appliances'....<br />
Not even a website review/ discussion about it, so im relying more on Singapore-based forums...which are also not many.<br />
<br />
(Or izzit considered as a luxurious item?)<br />
<br />
I guess may be bcoz of the price of it<br />
( the price range is about as low as RM5k for a basic unit, up to RM 17k for high end ones! )<br />
<br />
So we started first with Osim.... really high end ones. (uinfinity and udivineX) The price started around RM13k up to RM16k - was told by the salesgirl that the price already slashed down for CNY , used to be around 15k to 18k previously. With free gifts ?iGallop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tOL4WiCkUrM/VN8lfu24xFI/AAAAAAAAA4U/qaQEAYQ_okk/s1600/OSIM_uDivine_Massage_Chair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tOL4WiCkUrM/VN8lfu24xFI/AAAAAAAAA4U/qaQEAYQ_okk/s1600/OSIM_uDivine_Massage_Chair.jpg" height="219" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The good thing about Osim is I REALLY like the shape of it -- very compact and space saving, futuristic-like, self entering leg compartment, and with lots of colors to choose from... but the price is really out of our budget...<br />
<br />
Was asked to take the osim small sofa... but the massaging function would only fit those who loved massage.... hard to the back (other people might love it, as my back is not that accustomed to heavy massage before)<br />
<br />
Spent nearly 45mins in Osim to test the chairs before deciding its not for us -mainly bcoz of the budget and intensity of the massage...<br />
<br />
Immediately after that we went to an Ogawa shop... was told that theres a new chair The Smart Sento, which was launched merely 2weeks back... i think it replaces the ogawa smart sense... the smart deLight is still on sale but a bit bulky compared to this one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VLyYXjzSM_8/VOATSc9H3XI/AAAAAAAAA6g/hnkdtT5FJEY/s1600/1423969158427-185849872.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VLyYXjzSM_8/VOATSc9H3XI/AAAAAAAAA6g/hnkdtT5FJEY/s1600/1423969158427-185849872.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
Sento starting price was RM19999, but after discount RM10500.<br />
<br />
we were quite lucky to get the early bird introductory price of RM9k + , AND another 1month installment free paid by Maybank. , With an extra 1+1 year of warranty.<br />
We were also given a free Ogawa Estilo Lite and Aura Mate ionizer...which i rarely use.<br />
<br />
And was really attracted to the offer..and the massage wasnt too strong for the back - just nice for us.<br />
<br />

Used to work for nearly 36 hrs before this, without any problems......<br />

<br />
Sometimes in life, you may face things that you despise the most.... Failures !<br />
<br />
...and that's what's happened to me last week....<br />
<br />
<br />
..i failed my motorcycle driving test......and felt uneasy about it. :(<br />
<br />
..not that i dont have the skills, but maybe Allah has better plans for me.<br />
<br />
( apparently i managed to go through the harder part of the test, BUT failed in the easiest component of the test - the 'isyarat tangan' (part 3) test - the part where usually everybody passed ! )<br />
... my ER6N bike engine just went dead in the last obstacle... FAIL !<br />
<br />
...even though ive practiced and had undergone the obstacle for (at least) more than 40 times !!<br />
( but sadly not much of a problem before this... ) .....nampak sangat takde rezeki for me..<br />
<br />
...but then again NEVER depend on your efforts alone, instead you need to couple it with du'a...<br />
...because the success are from Allah, and NOT from your efforts alone...<br />
<br />
... the overall experience will somehow mature me, i guess<br />
...and without failure, there will be no sweet taste of success..<br />
<br />
...maybe this incident is a sign.... for me to wait first , before snatching a superbike, hehe<br />
<br />
<br />
...but ALHAMDULILLAH, syukur because after all, i can skip the hard part of the test in my 're-examination' next week, and straight away proceed with the easier component...wasrwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11852390304183683887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814149921491660854.post-71621421790296164702011-11-01T03:01:00.000-07:002011-11-01T03:03:25.687-07:00My 'dark' lover (kekasih gelapku)...for the next 2 weeks !!This 2-wheeled horse....will be my BEST companion, for the next 2 weeks !<br />
<br />
<br />
1st encounter... was a love-hate relationship..<br />
<br />
..remembered how I used to curse her heavyweight body, and difficult maneouvrability...<br />
<br />
..and how I nearly fell off whilst hugging her body..... eeuuww !<br />
<br />
...1st encounter hugging her made my hands and arms sore...until the next morning !<br />
<br />
<br />
BUT.....<br />
<br />
The 2nd encounter..... is different..<br />
<br />
ive got ADDICTED to her overweight body, and difficult-but-stable manouvrability..<br />
..and also i just LOVE to hear her squeal when pressed !<br />
<br />
so I CANT STOP dating her...... until eventually the rain comes !!<br />
<br />
..and separates us both...<br />

<br />
<br />
It's actually a FROZEN yoghurt... with multiple fruity flavours.... and you can choose the toppings as well !<br />
( but each cup'll cost you around RM 5....depends on what you choose - can go up to RM 15 per cup! )<br />
<br />
...But this time around i feel it's SINFUL for me to have this..<br />
<br />
<br />
WHY ??<br />
<br />
..bcoz of this ! <br />

<br />
whether to get myself a Japanese...........<br />
<br />
<br />
...or an Italian 'lover'.......<br />
<br />
<br />
..a tough decision to make....<br />
...the Japanese lover is.... simple, easily maintained, but lesser in character...<br />
<br />
<br />
on the other hand,<br />
....the Italian lover is ganazzz, and FULL with character and emotion..... but costier to maintain..<br />
<br />
<br />
so my friends....<br />
<br />
the choice now......<br />
<br />
is in MY hands !!! Muahahaha !!<br />

<br />
Sad to say.....<br />
<br />
We are now approaching the end.... of Ramadhan al-Mubarak..<br />
<br />
A month of fasting and endurance.... and a month of 'offer'...<br />
<br />
A month whereby routines change.... to a better one !<br />
<br />
...and Tarbiyyah, in its abundance....<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
So, I finally succumbed......<br />
<br />
<br />
To getting myself a HONDA !!!<br />
<br />
...errr..... Honda Wave 110 RS Kap-chai je laaaa !!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PTlld01AhFE/Tjeo5SK4bFI/AAAAAAAAAeM/wkZy5ZwqhfI/s1600/IMAGE_513.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PTlld01AhFE/Tjeo5SK4bFI/AAAAAAAAAeM/wkZy5ZwqhfI/s320/IMAGE_513.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
( Maybe this is just a start, to a 'proper' Honda, hehe )<br />
Takpelah, that's also another 'Power of Dreams' kannn???<br />
...but this new toy of mine is better in terms of economy... only 1 litre for every 52+ kms of travel ! hehe<br />
<br />
<br />
Currently enjoying my Honda..... and got 'ADDICTED' to riding this new toy to work pulak, iyelah, lepas gian time student dulu2...<br />

Developed a new interest recently... to motorbikes, and MOPEDs !!<br />
<br />
Found some loose change, and then................ **habislah!<br />
(..and i may also have succumbed to buying one...watch out for my next post, hehe )<br />
<br />
Anyway, used to be a car-freak before this, but after Googling for hours, finally found that the world of Moped is also super nice.....nice bcoz unlike a car, the upgrading costs are much cheaper !<br />
<br />
...but hopefully this interest-to-Moped thingy doesnt last long....... BCOZ it shud only be a transition phase, before i get myself......<br />
....A Real superbike !! Hahahahahaha<br />
<br />
..such as the ER-6N ( below).......<br />
<br />

Hmm..... have the worst feelings lately.....STRESSED and HELPLESS !<br />
<br />
.....a lot of problems to settle, but nothing i can do ( on my own ) to change things....<br />
<br />
......On the contrary, if you can act and settle it, then at least the feeling of helplessness will not be there...<br />
<br />
BUT...now i cant do anything .....<br />
STTRREEEESSSSS !!<br />
<br />
...hmmmm, maybe now it's time....<br />
<br />
...for me to reward myself with 'something',<br />
<br />

Well, near home, there is a very old-looking and winding road - at Semambu in Kuantan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kGvUa_tWCP0/Tf7QJGNFbII/AAAAAAAAAdQ/qpDBuoDxKkU/s1600/IMAGE_321.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kGvUa_tWCP0/Tf7QJGNFbII/AAAAAAAAAdQ/qpDBuoDxKkU/s320/IMAGE_321.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
Looks like a post WW2 road - similar to those found in Bukit Bentong lama, or Tapah ondaway to Cameron Hilands. ....but the stretch is just around 4kms, with near 360 degree corners ! .<br />
( however photos doesnt do any justice - tak nampak sgt. 'kelamaan' jalan ni dlm foto ! )<br />
<br />
NICE bcoz it's still GREEN..... and i think not many of Kuantan people who knew about the existence of this road..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H1sfHqQFgso/Tf7QUd7_dgI/AAAAAAAAAdY/u48tokGs3hA/s1600/IMAGE_326.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H1sfHqQFgso/Tf7QUd7_dgI/AAAAAAAAAdY/u48tokGs3hA/s320/IMAGE_326.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
And now it has become a regular route of mine, to release tension after a long day at work!<br />
<br />
...Wish that i can turun kereta and jalan kaki around it, ada cliff summore, but the road is very narrow and there is also no place to park ur car around there...... *sigh*wasrwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11852390304183683887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814149921491660854.post-63584221698902457652011-06-08T23:31:00.000-07:002011-06-08T23:48:34.552-07:00Our new ( semi-serious) cross country exercise machine ! ( a.k.a Big Boys Toys lagi ! )Hehe, got an extra 'rezeki' recently... managed to grab hold of a new 'big boys toys'..<br />
<br />
This time around, felt 'guilty' after staying in Kuantan duk asyik melantak ajee.....<br />
<br />
So, need to buy something to burn the extra calories....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H4IkqABv_Xs/TfBkmQhLKcI/AAAAAAAAAcw/EB7jq3GmkpU/s1600/IMAGE_472.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H4IkqABv_Xs/TfBkmQhLKcI/AAAAAAAAAcw/EB7jq3GmkpU/s320/IMAGE_472.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Got ourself a 'semi-serious' cross country hardtail MTB (mountain bike). <br />
The<b> Raleigh Diablo Pro.</b><br />
( Actually this is a gift for my beloved wife, tapi aku pulak yg lebih2 ! Syiokkk !! )<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v23VRMf_4SI/TfBnb97FM5I/AAAAAAAAAdA/jFfqRcMtLkc/s1600/IMAGE_485.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v23VRMf_4SI/TfBnb97FM5I/AAAAAAAAAdA/jFfqRcMtLkc/s320/IMAGE_485.jpg" width="191" /></a></div><br />

<br />
Hardtail means - only got 1 shock absorber ( front), but NO BACK shock absorbers.<br />
( kalau ada back absorber it's called Softail MTB ).<br />
<br />
Below : the front Suntour absorbers<br />
<br />

<br />
And equipped with 2 disc brakes (front & back) - for the ultimate braking experience kot??!<br />
And it's also equipped with 2 Quando screws to dismantle both the wheels in a jiffy...<br />
<br />

Ride wise is good, cuma after not riding a bicycle for the past 15+ years, the arse felt a bit stiff on prolonged ride.... maybe banyak lemak kot??!<br />
<br />
the photo below was taken after its first 'soft' cross country off-road expedition - belakang rumah je, kat ladang sawit Jeram Estate, hehe<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9aHPDtK7HRI/TfBoMJWbRWI/AAAAAAAAAdI/U2hsZ_qjJT0/s1600/IMAGE_479.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9aHPDtK7HRI/TfBoMJWbRWI/AAAAAAAAAdI/U2hsZ_qjJT0/s320/IMAGE_479.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The thing that i love about this bike is its 'Professional' look - looks like a Pro Mountain Bikers' ride, with its broad wheels and 2 disc brakes, despite the sub- RM 1 k pricetag..... Love at first sight kat kedai basikal tuu !!<br />
Read more here : <a href="http://www.raleigh.my/bikes/diabloPro.html">http://www.raleigh.my/bikes/diabloPro.html</a><br />
<br />
The only disadvantages about this bike ( and also with other Professional MTBs ) is that it is not equipped with a 'tongkat'/stick - need to lean it against a wall or on the ground to park it.... but managed to kaw-tim with the old chinese seller to put a F.O.C. tongkat for our daily ride..<br />
<br />
<u><b>Update</b></u> : after 2 weeks of riding it, the 1st problem started - Disc brake rubbing !<br />
<br />
- Lucky a lot of YouTube D.I.Y's - fixed it in no time !!<br />
<br />

BurukHad my nasi dagang at Pantai Bt. Buruk 2 weeks back during my trip back home to Terengganu.<br />
<br />
At Gerai Kak Pah, just in front of the jogging track there.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Sg6dq6Dlpvc/Te8yqgVUjDI/AAAAAAAAAcs/O3MIWXnRn9w/s1600/IMAGE_470.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Sg6dq6Dlpvc/Te8yqgVUjDI/AAAAAAAAAcs/O3MIWXnRn9w/s320/IMAGE_470.jpg" width="191" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Well, to compare with the ever famous nasi dagang Chendering or Nesan Empat ...hmmm, Difficult, me myself do not know which is the best, maybe bcoz of the unavailability of both these 2 popular nasi dagang 'centres'.<br />
( jarang2 test punn nasi dagang2 famous ni semua ! )<br />
<br />
But, if you grew up in Terengganu and spend more then half of your life there, you'll surely be able to judge the 'qualities' of nasi dagang in various parts of Terengganu, and there are quite a number of stalls selling 'good quality' and tasty nasi dagang, almost equivalent to the 2 famous shops above.<br />
...and the stall selling nasi dagang at Pantai Bt. Buruk has among the best nasi dagang that ive ever tasted.<br />
<br />
and i think a lot of people agrees with me - in view of the costumers coming there - tak putus-putus !!<br />
<br />
<br />
below : nasi dah habis lantak, tinggal kuahnya sahaja - ikan belum abis lagi... BANYAK !!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mjNPZ8Qr2lU/Te8ynV9gfhI/AAAAAAAAAco/PD6BYYjgy1c/s1600/IMAGE_469.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mjNPZ8Qr2lU/Te8ynV9gfhI/AAAAAAAAAco/PD6BYYjgy1c/s320/IMAGE_469.jpg" width="191" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The best part is - A LOT of 'ikan aiya' and also its gravy, even if you buy only a plate of nasi dagang there, the fish's amount is equivalent to 2 pax punya serving ! Nice !!<br />
<br />
- Cant wait for another trip to my kampung...and melantak lagi !!!!!wasrwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11852390304183683887noreply@blogger.com0
