According to Sammobile, the stable Android Pie for Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is available as an update to users in Germany as of now.

I was actually expecting my Note 9 to receive the Android Pie update in January but after reading in the Internet, Samsung is pushing the update to February 2019 according to their Android Pie roadmap. Bummer.

Suddenly, Samsung changed their plans and voila, Germany Note 9 users are getting their Android Pie update as of today.

I have checked my phone and there is not update all. It only says The latest updates have been installed.

Upon further digging, it seems that only selected countries will get to see the update first just like the Android Pie update for Samsung S9 & S9+.

So far, these countries are getting the Android Pie for their Samsung S9 & S9+:

• Germany
• United Arab Emirates (UAE)
• Turkey
• Poland
• Italy
• Switzerland
• France
• Netherlands
• Spain

I guess Samsung Note 9 will also follow that trend.

So, when will Malaysia Samsung Galaxy Note 9 users see the Android Pie/One UI update?

I guess in a few weeks time?

What will be your guess? Have you gotten your Samsung One UI update for your Note 9? Share your thoughts in the comments!

I am so looking forward for the Samsung One UI update and their Dark Mode. Look to save my battery life and reduce the glare on my eyes.

Android Pie, my Note 9 is waiting for you in Malaysia.

Finally, Orient Fitness Gold is open at Level 6, Gurney Paragon Mall last month. This is their 4th club in Penang. With that new club, they are currently now the longest and biggest gym chain in the northern Malaysia. With 23,000 square feet, Orient Fitness Gold is definitely offering a lot of features and values for its members.

A lion dance to make the grand opening more ‘ONG’

Dato Yew Tian Teik is the first to give an opening speech to welcome all the VIP guests, members of the media and the public.

Next up is YB Danny Law, the EXCO for Penang State Tourism Development to give his speech.

After that, the VIPs are invited to cut the ribbons to signify the grand opening of Orient Fitness Gold. Can you recognise all the VIPs here? Answer will be revealed in the following photos.

The VIPs are ushered into the new gym to give them a tour of the facilities of Orient Fitness Gold. Some refreshments are offered to the VIPs, medias and the public.

YB Danny Low definitely walks the talk in having a healthy lifestyle as he is so eager to climb the wall. He wears the safety harness and climbs all the way up and did some posing for the medias to take photo. He is quite active. The rest of the VIPs also follow suit and try to climb the wall. The wall climbing facility is one of its kind in Penang as Orient Fitness Gold is currently the only one providing such facility. Thumbs up. So, wall-climbing enthusiasts, you know which gym you will go to when your current one expires?

The VIPs posing with the lion dance. Now, let me give the answer about the VIPs. On the farthest right is Dato’ Seri Khor Teng Tong, Founder and Director of Hunza Properties, Mr Eric Lim, Managing Director of Orient Fitness and YB Danny Law, State EXCO for Tourism Development.

Dato’ Seri Khor is still looking so healthy and strong at his age! Awesome! Definitely hope to be like him one day.

Such a cute punching bag. Now, who will want to punch the bag?!

You can get a nice aerial view of Kelawai Road from these thread mills.

These are the gym equipments that you can find on the ground floor. A rather complete set of gym equipments. One thing that will definitely attracts gym-goers will be the brand new equipments. Who doesn’t like the smell and the feel of brand new equipments, right?

Next, let’s visit the 2nd floor of Orient Fitness Gurney Paragon. As you walk up the staircase, you will be greeted by RPM Studio on your left and Group Exercise Studio on your right. Farther right is Hot Yoga Flow Studio. I can bucket loads of sweat on the floor in the RPM Studio. It is really intense.

On the 3rd floor, there are toilets. In both toilets, there are lockers and steam rooms. They are very spacious and have a modern feel.

After viewing and testing out some of the equipments in the gym, media and public are invited to view the the presentation of mock life memberships to VIPs and state/national athletes.

Lifetime membership for Dato’ Seri Khor Teng Tong

Lifetime membership for YB Danny Law also

Ms Low Wee Wern who is also a recipient of the lifetime membership award, is representing Dato’ Nicol David to receive her lifetime membership. She is a one-time No. 5 ranking squash player from Penang. Hail Penang!

I don’t wish for such a muscular body. Just mildly muscular will do. God, please grant me the discipline and motivation to do so!

That’s all for now. Thank you Serene and Orient Fitness Gold Gurney Paragon for the invite.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Switch, a trade name owned by CG Computers Sdn Bhd, will be having Switch Epic Giveaway as an appreciation to its customers who supported them for 20 years in Malaysia. As an Apple Premium Reseller, definitely the giveaway will be Apple products. The prizes are as below:

The mechanics of this giveaway are very simple. Spend and win! ;-P Yup, it is just that simple. The duration is from 1st May 2015 until 31st October 2015. Let johnkhor.com explains further on how to win yourself Apple products. Firstly, you need to spend a minimum of RM100 in any Switch stores nationwide. Each RM100 spent is equivalent to ONE SUBMISSION. After you have paid, a Switcher will help you to register your details and you will need to answer some questions. Your total submission will be displayed for your reference. Hence, to have higher winning chances, you need to purchase more. The products that you purchase are not restricted only to Apple products only but other products in Switch outlets also. The 5 lucky winners will be selected using lucky draw. The winners will be announced in November 2015 and a prize presentation ceremony will be held.

The Switch Epic Giveaway was announced in the press conference at Andaman Grand Ballroom Foyer, Park Royal Hotel on 24th April 2015. The press conference started with the introduction of Erajaya and CG Computers Sdn Bhd.

Next, the MD of CG Computers, Mr Li Chau Ging gave his speech. CG Computers started at his mother’s home office at Bukit Mertajam together with his wife, Ms Peggy Tan. Mr Li has been passionate about Apple products since his university days and he felt that there’s a need to serve the Apple community in Malaysia. Now, CG Computers has 26 retail outlets all over Malaysia under its trade name, Switch.

Next, Mr Jeremy Sim, the Vice President Director of PT Erafone Artha Retailing, a part of Erajaya Group gave his speech about the future development of Erafone in Malaysia. As some of you may know or may not know, PT Erafone Artha Retailing from Indonesia signed an agreement to acquire 60% stake in CG Computers back in June 2014. PT Erajaya Sawsembada is the leading primary distributor of mobile communication devices from several international brands in Indonesia and operates a large chain of retail outlets in Indonesia. The partnership with CG Computers marked their 1st overseas venture.

With the new partnership with Erafone, CG Computers embarked to capture non-Apple markets by introducing non-Apple mobile devices; mobile lifestyle devices; app-enabled accessories; and wellness-related devices. These will be sold through a new trade name, UrbanRepublic that combines technology and lifestyle with its upmarket lifestyle-based store that comes with an integrated cafe called UrbanCoffee. Its first UrbanRepublic was opened in Gurney Plaza, Penang in 2014. The second outlet will be opening soon in Queesbay Mall, just opposite to Switch outlet.

Good luck in the Switch Epic Giveaway, guys and girls.

After the press conference, johnkhor.com was invited to join Switch’s annual dinner. Their annual dinner them is Magical Disney and I managed to see many Disney characters. Such a lovely night with great food and awesome company.

Thanks Satkuru, Liyana and Emmilyn for the invite and Switch for hosting us.

johnkhor.com received a parcel from Sonic Gear recently. Guess what’s in the box? I think the words on the packaging already gives out the answer! Yes, johnkhor.com is honoured to be given another chance by Sonic Gear to review their products. Click here for my previous review of their Bluetooth speakers. This time, johnkhor.com will be reviewing their their wireless aka Bluetooth headphones which are Sonic Gear AirPhone III and Sonic Gear AirPhone V.

Here’s how they look like out of the packaging box. The boxes are a bit not clean because these are review units. The box colour does not match for AirPhone III as you can notice later. Well, it doesn’t matter as long as I can review the products.

Here are the specifications for Sonic Gear AirPhone III that I got from their official website:

Here are the specifications of Sonic Gear AirPhone V:

johnkhor.com was approached by an agency to blog about a ‘bedroom’ issue which I believe many will think of ‘mati pucuk‘ (male impotence in Malay language) or in a more scientific term, erectile dysfunction. It is not about erectile dysfunction but another more prevalent ‘bedroom’ issue that affects even more men or to be exact 1 in 3 men in across Asia Pacific [1]. That issue is called as premature ejaculation (PE). I was hesitant at first and finally I decided to blog about it since it might be helpful to my readers and serves as a community service to my readers.

I know that it is very hard for men to admit or let alone discuss about PE. Many guys have ego as big as Pacific Ocean their faces and will try to protect their ego. Actually, PE is health condition and requires medical attention too and good news is, PE is treatable. Recently, A. Menarini [Malaysia], an international pharmaceutical company, launched a digital and on-ground campaign called Be Brave to raise awareness about PE, educate and inspire men to talk about PE and encourage women to advocate this issue for their partners.

A condition that is nonetheless accompanied by heavy stigma, PE affects men from all ages and holds no boundaries of where it can affect. With the taboo topic of PE and topped with the lack of understanding of the condition, PE has spiraled beyond the level of control. It was revealed that within the Asia Pacific region, Malaysian men came out on top when it came to the lack of knowledge, which in turn hindered many individuals from visiting a healthcare professional to manage the condition.

PE occurs when a man has difficulty controlling ejaculation and often ejaculates with little sexual stimulation. For both men and their partners, coping with PE is both emotional and physical[1], [2].PE may be associated with low self-confidence, anxiety, feelings of shame and avoidance of sexual intimacy.

To prevent such distress, it is important that men determine if they have this condition should they suspect they may have PE.

Though PE might be perceived to be a man’s own personal problem, it is actually better approached as a couple. 40 percent of women mentioned that they do not discuss about PE as they fear it would hurt their partner’s feelings[3], however a whopping 62 percent of men reported that they would likely visit the doctor if their partner advises them to. Therefore, with a healthy push and motivation from their partners, men are more likely to be inclined to discuss the matter and seek help.

Let’s check out their Be Brave campaign. You can access to their campaign at www.bebrave.my or www.facebook.com/BeBraveMY which will in the end directs you to their Facebook page. Like them for more information about PE. The focal point of this campaign is their online quiz where you will answer 8 cheeky and fun questions. No worry. There are no explicit content there. So it is safe for work (SFW). You will get to profile yourself or your partner can also profile you also. The fun part of the quiz is that you get to match your profile with the profile that your partner has done and to see whether it matches or not.

Following the craze of superhero movies recently especially The Avengers, the theme of Be Brave is appealing and consistent with their message. Definitely will make the guys’ testosterone level goes up! :-P. I took the male version of the quiz.

Haha. I can’t believe that I got Love Magnet. I thought it will be Babe Magnet! Oops… Haha. Can’t wait to ask my wife to try the female version of the quiz and see if she got Love Magnet also.

As you can also see from the screenshot of the result page on the right-hand top there is a Call-To-Action website www.controlpe.com.my which is where you can find out more about premature ejaculation and ways to overcome the health condition. You can also find a lot of interesting information and de-bunking myths regarding premature ejaculation.

Do try it out and share with your friends and family! Don’t forget to click on www.controlpe.com.my to learn more about this health condition. This website is the only credible online resource that contains comprehensive information about the condition, a diagnostic tool and suitable treatments available.

Here’s the screenshot of the website:

The website has online quiz also. It is more science based and not as sexy + fun like the one in the Facebook page.  If you suspect you may have the condition, the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT Quiz) can help you decide whether you need to see a doctor for a diagnosis and effective treatment.

Guys, what type of trousers do you put on every time you are going out with your friends or to that football match? Are you thinking jeans? Exactly! Jeans are the basic pants we wear anywhere we go which are made from denim or dungaree fabric. It is a must-have fashion item everyone needs to have in their closet. It will be a shocker if you don’t have one.

The stylish jeans offers various cuts including skinny, boot cut, straight cuts, low waist, slim cut and narrow bottom. It allows us to look fashionable while still feeling the comfort. Jeans are a flexible wear to be matched with a t-shirt, jersey or even your business shirt. Coming not only in the classic blue or black in colour, designers have made it available in colourful designs of red, yellow, green and more.  The excellent choices of colours gives customers a new look of jeans to be paired with their tank tops. Pair it up with a plain top like Orlando Bloom and accessorize your outfit with a pair of trendy sunglass and scarf.

However, finding the perfect jeans for you is not an easy task. Luckily, there are various designs in the market which are created to fit every individual’s body type. For example, someone who has longer legs could tone it down with a pair of boot cut or straight cut jeans. Meanwhile, if you want to make your legs look thinner and longer, skinny and slim cut might be the perfect jeans for you.

As jeans are a versatile wear especially on a casual day out, celebrities such as Robert Pattinson and Kanye West also wear jeans whenever they have a break from their hectic filming schedule. Robert looks dashingly handsome in brown coloured jeans and Kanye appears with a hype look wearing a pair of green jeans. Interested to add some new trendy addition to your jeans collection at home and look handsome with your new style?

This is johnkhor.com’s 2nd invitation for première screening of movie and my 1st time’s invitation for TGV Cinemas’ official launching for the newest cineplex in Penang, Malaysia! TGV Cinemas has prepared a lot of activities for this official launching of TGV Gurney Paragon. They have prepared for the medias and bloggers TGV IMAX Trivial Challenge, Spiderman Posing Photo Session, some refreshments and most attractive one which is the première screening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of the Electro movie in IMAX 3D!

I am rather early when I reached TGV Gurney Paragon and the TGV team is finalizing a lot of the details. So, I went to take more photos of TGV Gurney Paragon. I am early so that I can co-ordinate with other bloggers who were invited too. I was tasked by TGV team to help them to find and organize bloggers for this event and hopefully *eyes BIG BIG* their future events also. If you need bloggers for your event, do let me know!

TGV Gurney Paragon is the 1st cinema in Penang to offer IMAX 3D Theater. This is TGV Cinemas’ 4th IMAX theater in Malaysia. The 1st one is in Sunway Pyramid, the 2nd one in One Utama, and the 3rd one and also the largest one is in Johor Bahru. So, what’s the hype with IMAX? What difference does it really make? Watch the following video to understand more about IMAX, you will definitely enjoy it as it is a Malaysian production. Damn nice!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2yQbB1DDys[/youtube]

IMAX uses ceiling to floor and wall to wall screen, 2 state-of-the-art projector and 6 laser aligned loudspeakers to give you a very different level of movie-watching enjoyment! TGV Gurney Paragon will offer movie-goers 1 IMAX theater (292 seats), 1 Beanie Hall and 7 standard halls totalling to 1,287 seats!

And good news to Penangnites, TGV Gurney Paragon is having offers/discounts for its IMAX 2D and 3D movies starting from 4th April until further notice. Check out the prices!

And besides that, TGV Gurney Paragon attempts to create a Guinness record for ‘The Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Spider-Man’. Over 400 people registered for the event but they can only accomodate 342 participants! Those movie-goers who participate in this event will receive complimentary popcorn and drink, exclusive IMAX and movie premiums and an opportunity to watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2: The Rise of Electro movie in IMAX 3D!

Do like look like Spider-Man? *Dreaming mode* Hahaha

There is a corner besides the makeshift door that lets you take photo acting as Spider-Man. A very smart & attractive move! Many Spider-Man wannabes and fans never miss the chance to take photo and they receive a complimentary printed photo.

The MC with the Spider-Man colors warming up the crowd and welcomes the media & bloggers and business partners to the official launching of TGV Gurney Paragon.

There is a light refreshment provided by Eden Catering. The fried chicken is damn good! And their service is impeccable. They even serve iced lemon tea to you instead of you having to walk over to fill the drink. Too bad, they dun deliver the food to you Just joking! Haha.

Medias and bloggers were busy answering the 15-questions trivia challenge about TGV IMAX theater and its technology. Besides that, you will also need to test your Spider-Man senses by touching some replicas to identify the object (it’s either spider or lizard! Following the Spiderma’s theme. Too bad they didn’t put in electric eel. Haha :-P) and tasting their popcorn. All of you have a great time playing the games and also sharing the answers. I got an umbrella as a prize for answering 100% for the challenge! All thanks to the bloggers team effort.

After the games, Tamon Iwasaki’s Director of Theater Marketing in Asia was invited to go on stage to give a speech about IMAX development!

After that, the CEO of TGV Cinemas, Gerald V. Dibbayawan went up the stage to give his speech. I personally get a chance to speak to him after the movie and I am impressed that he is a very humble person and a movie buff! DC or Marvel? Haha

Spider-Man faces some problem with the official launching of TGV Gurney Paragon. The launching did not happen even after the VIPS slots in the key. Something is wong! Suddenly Electro shows up!

One of the villains in The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of the Electro, Electro!

And they fought! And Spider-Man has a better idea. He borrows the current from Electro and as the VIPs slot in the key and the launching happened! That’s some awesome possum stuff that the TGV team has come up with! Bloggers and medias are impressed! Such a cool opening! Applause! Even before the movie, we are being treated with a great show.

The TGV team and their business partners together with Spider-Man and Electro.

After the opening, we are ushered to TGV Gurney Paragon IMAX Theater. We are given such a big passive 3D glasses! Haha. My cousin said you don’t have to worry that you face will look big in the photo because the big passive 3D glasses will make your face look small!

A short review of IMAX 3D & The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro without spoilers:

The IMAX 3D experience is surreal. The screen is BIG! Damn BIG! As what you have read just now. Ceiling to floor and wall to wall! One thing to take note is that not all seat positions are optimized for IMAX 3D experience. Hence to have a better quality control, some of the seats are not sold. So, don’t be surprised when the ticketing officer tells you that it is full house but when you enter the IMAX Hall, you will see empty seats. Don’t worry, those seats are not for our ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’. Haha The 3D experience is definitely more real and as what one of my friend said, ‘On your face’ kind of experience. So, boyfriends/husbands, you know where to bring your girlfriends/wives when there is a blockbuster movie coming up? Leg space is good and wider arm rests so that you don’t have to fight for the armrest.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro is 142 minutes movie. Quite long I would with some scenes that drag movie. It definitely builds up the plot for the 3rd one and there is an unexpected ending in the later part of the movie. Overall, the movie delivers what the fans want: lots of action, plot development, history of Richard Parker and lots of emotion involved. One blogger told his followers to bring tissue. Haha

After the movie, I took photo with the famous Kwong Wah Yit Poh journalist, Ewe Chin together with the top management of Gurney Paragon. Very powerful lady but she insists on keeping low profile.

Look at those Spiders! So many Spider-Man wannabes!

Oh.. Spidey-Kid. Haha So cute!

They are here for ‘The Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Spider-Man’ Guinness Record Attempt!

And here is my Spider-Sis and Spider-Mum. My mum who is 58 years old this year is still young at heart. She dons the Spider-Man costume without hesitation. You are awesome, mum! Love ya!

Finally, a group photo of the bloggers who attended the event! Well done to all of you! Let’s hope for better things to come. *Special thanks to Sui Yien for the taking photo. Kesian her that she has to take 5-6 cameras at once!

Special thanks to Celeste, Senior Marketing Manager & Regina Robin, PR Manager of TGV Cinemas for extending the invitation and for hosting me during the event. I had a great time enjoying the event and the movie!
