The strength of ‘Cikgu Fitness’
KUALA LUMPUR: There is definitely more to Kevin Zahri, the well-known Cikgu Fitness from the reality series Akademi Fantasia, than meets the eyes.
The macho-looking 29-year-old is not only a television host but also a health and fitness entrepreneur who has founded two Internet portals, namely maxtrition.com.my and maxhosting.com.my.
I am a person who has a lot of belief in myself and I started the business because I did not want to work for a paycheque but wanted to do something that makes me happy,
Refusing to be bound by a 9 to 5 job, Kevin decided to launch maxtrition.com.my, an online supplement store, at the age of 25 four years ago.
“I am a person who has a lot of belief in myself and I started the business because I did not want to work for a paycheque but wanted to do something that makes me happy,” he said.
Kevin will be one of the speakers at the National Youth Entrepreneur Convention during the three-day MCA 9-Point Party Platform Exhibition at Putra World Trade Centre from Jan 18.
The mechanical engineering and economics graduate will tell the audience of his experience as a young entrepreneur in this country.
As a person who has a lot of self-belief, Kevin's advice to the youngsters who want to start their own business is that there is no shortcut to success.
For more information on the exhibition, call the MCA headquarters at 03-2161 8044 (ext 420) or visit www.mca.org.my.

Whats the value of an “A” in schools these days?
This post is a little off topic...but something I feel very strongly about and always stress whenever I conduct any of my education/school/career talks. Getting an A in Malaysia's education system is overated....more often than not its too easy. You can also check out my post on Why in the world does anyone wanna get 15A1?
8As? So what!
In the recent PMR result announcement soooo many students a 6, 7 8 or even more 8As. Keistimewaan tu dah tak ada. So you get 8As does it really mean really deserve or is it to please the statistics of Kementrian Pendidikan Malaysia supaya setiap tahun adanya "peningkatan" dalam jumlah "pelajar cemerlang"?
What is a "pelajar cemerlang?"
If you ask the Malaysian education system..its those that excel academically and participate (or rather forced to) in extra curricular activities. Jadi to excel academically mest ada banyak A. 
Hahahaha i think this is a joke and the only thing system pendidikan Malaysia berjaya menghasilkan adalah pelajar yang book smart....without any real personal growth...but are they really that book smart pun? Getting an "A" today is not what it used to be.
Do most students really deserve their "As"?
Not at all! I rasa most are even surpised themselves when they get their results. And those yang really deserve their As are probably bengang coz how come people yang tak seberapa selama ini tiba2 dapat A. How do you distinguish the really excellent student from the good ones. How do you distinguish those that get 95/100 from 82/100? Yet kedua-duanya dapat A? Thats just wrong.
...those yang really deserve their As are probably bengang coz how come people yang tak seberapa selama ini tiba2 dapat A
You may say..."biar lah....diorang tu belajar kuat dah".I'm sure they do but biarlah getting an A tu be something special for very few that really deserve it. I used to be there jugak....sitting for my PMR and SPM....and I know that ramai (in my opinion) don't deserve their A!
Where are we heading?
Sampai bila are we gonna see more and more kids getting 7, 8A. In Germany getting an A is absolutely susah giler. It should be here are well. Right now....UPSR and PMR exams are a joke..SPM is not too far behind...I don't know what to make of the kids yg get straight A. It just doesn't hold any value any more.

Fitness247thebook.com - Ranked #1 Google?
Why I launched my fitness book's website so early?
One of my reason: search engine optimization (SEO). The result after just about a month: try searching google for "asian fitness book" and you'll know why.
after only a month, fitness247thebook.com is ranked #1 in google for "asian fitness book"
Of course we can't be ranked number 1 in google or yahoo for more generic keywords like "fitness book" or "health & fitness books" but thats where we are have to find our niche.
Panduan Kurangkan Berat Badan
Sejak musim perayaan ini, saya banyak menerima email minta advice dan nasihat untuk kurangkan berat badan.... kalau boleh dengan cepat. Berikut adalah panduan ringkas dan cepat untuk cara menurunkan berat badan:
- Jangan skip meals.Ramai ingat bahawa anda perlu skip meals seperti elakkan sarapan pagi dan melaparkan diri untuk kurang berat badan. Ini salah. Dengan cara ini anda hanya berjaya menurunkan metabolisma badan. Panduan Terbaik?Makan 5-7 hidangan sederhana sehari dan kurang makan/minum 2-3 jam sebelum tidur.
- Kawal nafsu makan....once nafsu is there memang susah untuk membuat pilihan makanan yang baik. Again di sinilah anda perlu makan 5-7 kali sehari untuk mengawal nafsu makan anda.
- Tingkatkan tahap keaktifan anda...tak semestinya dengan jogging atau bersenam di gym. Yang penting anda tingkatkan aktiviti physical untuk bakar lebih calorie, seperti
- Park kereta anda lebih jauh daripada destinasi anda
- Jangan guna lif...use the stairs
- Bersihkan rumah anda
- Ketahui keperluan kalori anda. Ini penting dan jika anda rajin, bandingkan keperluan kalorie dengan pemakanan kalorie seharian anda.
- Eliminate makanan yang 1. tidak elok dan 2. tidak perlu. Kekadang kita ambil makan/minuman yang actually kita tak perlukan sangat pun....just because its there, doesn't mean we have to eat or drink them
- Diet pills? Yes they work tetapi tidak jika anda tidak gabungkan penggunaannya dengan makanan yang terkawal.....
- Tak pandai kawal nafsu makan? Belilah protein shakes dan makannya di antara hidangan due kali sehari..1. antara sarapan dan lunch...2. antara lunch dan makan malam
Ingin kurangkan 5kg dalam masa 5 minggu?
If yes, saya sangat syorkan kepada anda untuk rujuk kepada eBook saya bertajuk "Panduan Kurangkan 5kg Dalam Minggu".
Ini adalah eBook panduan lengkap untuk membantu anda kurangkan berat 5kg dalam masa 5 minggu. Selepas mengikuti langkah-langkah mudah eBook ini, anda akan mempunyai pelan diet, senaman dan panduan mudah untuk kurangkan 5kg dengan mudah ikuti gaya hidup orang Malaysia!
I am turning 30!
Another year another birthday……wow time does fly. Earlier this week I celebrated my 29th birthday…my last bday before I hit the big “three O”…aaaaaah life life life.
When you are kecik, we want to grow up…when you r so called dah besar, we wanna go back in time…life! 🙂
I didn’t do much this year…..on the 11th, I had a very romantic dinner with my gf at Carlos Pavillion (thanks for the wonderful hospitality). Intan later suprised me at midnight with a baskin robbins ice cream cake (oh so good!)
On my bday itself….my famly and I had lunch at an Italian restaurant (I think its called Nevo) around Changkat Bukit Bintang. Oh my dad and I have the same birthday so my dad invited his friends together with our family to celebrate.
my dad and I share the same birthday (12/12)…hmmm what better present than getting a comel little baby boy like me hahahah”
What did I give my dad for this bday? Copies of my upcoming book, “Fitness 24/7” and “Cergas 24/7”. Hope he likes it.
What did I get? Perfumes, business card holder and the usual….and a Babolat AeroPro Drive tennis racquet (the one Nadal is playing with) from my gf.
Last year in my 20s!
As hard it is to believe…life goes on we gotta look forward. The next year hopefully has a lot of good things in store for me, insyallah.
Thanks for everyone for your birthday wishes. Greatly appreciate it.
