We just wrapped up Week 3 of the Atomy Body Fit Challenge, and it was a week that tested my mental strength as much as my physical endurance. Between a health hurdle and a total shift in my daily habits, I’m learning that success is all about mindset.

The Numbers: Data Doesn’t Lie

I stepped on the scale on April 26th and was honestly blown away. Despite a nasty bout of food poisoning that forced me to miss two days of workouts, the downward trend continued.

In just 20 days, I have lost 2.3kg in total weight. Most importantly, 1.6kg of that is pure Fat Mass. Seeing that number hit exactly 20.00kg was a massive win! It proves that the combination of Atomy supplements and disciplined timing works, even when life throws a curveball.

Saving Calories (And Cash!)

One of the biggest shifts this week has been my relationship with coffee. I used to be someone who had to have two lattes a day. Now? I’ve totally embraced Black Coffee and Americanos.

To keep it feeling special, I’ve started using my nice cups at home. For my Iced Americanos, I use Atomy Arabica Black in my Atomy blender bottle—and honestly, it feels just like drinking expensive store-bought coffee.

The best part? I’m saving so much money. I used to feel the constant temptation to visit Zus, Kenangan, or Cotti Coffee once or twice a week. Now, that temptation is gone. I’m fueling my body better and my wallet is happier for it!

The Secret to My Energy: Vita Energy

People often ask how I stay focused without the sugary lattes. The secret is Atomy Vita Energy, which I take right after lunch.

While I love my coffee, the Taurine in Vita Energy actually keeps me more consistently energized throughout the day than caffeine alone. It’s that steady “boost” that helps me get through my administrative work and still have the power left for a game of badminton in the evening.

The Takeaway

Week 3 taught me that you don’t have to be perfect; you just have to be consistent. By swapping expensive lattes for high-quality Atomy Arabica and supporting my metabolism with Triple Up Protein, I’m hitting Week 4 leaner, stronger, and more focused than ever.

What’s one daily habit you’ve swapped to save money and calories?

Welcome back to the journey! If you missed the “spring cleaning” phase of Week 1, you can catch up on that detox strategy here.

We have officially wrapped up Week 2 last Sunday (19 April) on of my 10-week Body Fit challenge, and things are getting interesting. While the scale is one way to measure progress, the mirror and the way my clothes fit are telling a much more exciting story this week.

The Numbers vs. The Reality

Let’s look at the stats from the latest weigh-in:

• Weight: 61.9kg (a total drop of 1.7kg so far).
• Body Fat: Dropped from 20.9kg to 20.4kg.
• Visceral Fat: Dropped from 8 to 7.
• Skeletal Muscles: Increased from 62.6% to 63.2%.

Now, 1.7kg might not sound like a “massive” weight drop to some, but the visual difference in my body shape is significant. This is the magic of body recomposition. Because I’ve been consistent with strength training, I am likely losing fat while building lean muscle. Muscle is denser than fat, so even if the scale moves slowly, the body looks tighter, firmer, and more toned.

Levelling Up the Intensity

In Week 1, I was hitting 30-minute sessions. For Week 2, I’ve pushed that to 40–45 minutes daily. I alternate between cardio and strength to keep my metabolism guessing:

• Cardio Days: I usually opt for a “boosted indoor walk” via YouTube. It’s a great way to get the heart rate up without needing a treadmill.
• Strength Days: I’ve been following Cheryl Couloumbe’s workout videos. I’ll be honest—they aren’t exactly “easy,” but they are manageable if you go at your own pace. The burn is real, but so are the results!

The Week 2 Fueling Strategy

I’ve shifted away from the intensive colon cleansing of Week 1 into a more sustainable, low-calorie maintenance plan with a few strategic tweaks.

Morning Rituals

I start the day with a powerhouse combo: Psyllium husk, Probiotics, and HemoHIM. This keeps my digestion on track and my energy levels stable. I follow this up with a shot of Noni and a cup of black coffee (strictly no sugar!) once I get to the office.

The Lunch “Sugar Shield”

About 30 minutes before lunch, I take a Banaba supplement. Even though I’m avoiding added sugars, Banaba is excellent for controlling blood sugar spikes from the natural carbohydrates in my meal. Post-lunch, I take Finezyme to aid digestion, followed by a Vita Energy C drink to ensure my body isn’t depleted of essential nutrients while I’m in a calorie deficit.

The Afternoon Metabolism Boost

One hour after lunch, it’s time for Puer Tea. This isn’t just a warm, comforting drink; Puer tea is famous for:

• Supporting Weight Loss: It helps the body reduce the synthesis of fatty acids.
• Digestion: It’s a fermented tea that aids the digestive system after a meal.
• Antioxidants: It’s packed with polyphenols that fight oxidative stress.

Around 2:00 PM, I have another coffee break. I stick to Atomy’s Black Arabica—it’s freeze-sprayed for the best health benefits and is naturally lower in caffeine, so it doesn’t give me the jitters.

Skin Health & Collagen

By 3:30 PM, I have my “beauty snack”: one stick of Apple Jelly and Pomegranate Jelly.

Why Pomegranate? When you lose weight, you often risk losing skin elasticity. Pomegranate helps stimulate collagen production, ensuring my skin stays healthy and firm as my body changes.

The Power of Hydration

I’ve upped my water intake significantly, hitting over 4 litres a day:

• 1 Litre upon awakening.
• 2 Litres throughout the office hours.
• 1+ Litre during my 6:30 PM workout.

Proper hydration is the “secret sauce” of weight loss. It flushes out toxins, boosts your metabolic rate, and helps prevent “false hunger” signals.

Upgrade Your Water: To get the best results, the quality of your water matters. Atomy’s new RO Water Purifier is currently on pre-order until the end of the month! Reverse Osmosis (RO) water is incredibly pure, removing heavy metals and contaminants that can hinder your health goals. If you’re looking to upgrade your home wellness, now is the time to grab it.

Wrapping Up Week 2

I finish my evenings with an Easy Enjoy shake (available in three delicious flavours) after my workout. It’s the perfect way to end the day without feeling heavy.

Week 2 has been about discipline and refining the routine. To everyone else on a fitness journey: keep pushing! The scale is just one piece of the puzzle—trust the process and feel the strength you’re building.

Bring on Week 3!

Kuala Lumpur, 21 April 2026 – OPPO today expanded its Find X9 Series with the launch of Find X9s, designed to be your Hasselblad travel companion. To eliminate the pain points of travel content creation, Find X9s combines a flagship-grade 50MP triple camera system with a massive 7025mAh battery and intelligent AI tools. From capturing stunning portraits to lasting through a long day of adventure, Find X9s empowers travelers to document their journeys without compromise.

“Everything we build is driven by one clear goal: to empower you,” said Pete Lau, SVP and Chief Product Officer at OPPO. “With Find X9s, we set out to solve the real frustrations of travel – the heavy cameras, the battery anxiety, the hours spent planning. In partnership with Hasselblad, we’ve created a pocket-sized companion that lets you focus on what matters most: experiencing the world and effortlessly capturing its beauty.”

Vibrant Refreshed Design That Inspires Exploration

Find X9s draws inspiration from the beauty of travel, resulting in a palette of vibrant, refined colors. Sunset Orange radiates warm energy with its pink-orange gradient. Lavender Sky offers a clean white with subtle purple undertones. Midnight Grey delivers a rich titanium finish with a metallic feel.

With a thickness of just 7.99mm, Find X9s slips effortlessly into any pocket. The 6.59-inch flat display features ultra-thin 1.15mm symmetrical bezels and 3600 nits peak brightness, ensuring clarity even under direct sunlight.

Travel is unpredictable but Find X9s is ready. IP66, IP68, and IP69^[1]  certifications protect against water and dust, from accidental splashes to high-pressure hot water.  The device has earned Swiss SGS five-star certification for drop and bump resistance, while a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and Splash Touch technology ensure the screen remains responsive even when your hands are wet.

Professional-Grade Imaging with Triple 50MP Cameras

Travel photography demands versatility and Find X9s delivers with its 50MP Ultra-Clear Triple Camera co-developed with Hasselblad.

The 50MP main camera features OIS, delivering brilliant images from golden hour portraits to dimly lit cityscapes. The 50MP 3x periscope telephoto, built around a large 1/1.95-inch sensor, provides best-in-class zoom with natural background compression for professional-looking portraits. The 50MP ultra-wide camera with 120° field of view captures expansive landscapes.

The LUMO Image Engine works in the RAW domain to enhance detail, dynamic range, and clarity while maintaining a natural look. Lightning Snap captures split-second moments with virtually no shutter lag. When distant landmarks are out of reach, 120× Super Zoom leverages AI algorithms to bring them close.

The Hasselblad partnership extends beyond hardware. Hasselblad Portrait Mode delivers professional-grade shots with AI-powered bokeh that separates subjects from backgrounds with precision. Hasselblad Master Mode puts manual control at your fingertips—shutter speed, ISO, focus, and white balance—with 16 built-in film simulations that recreate the character of classic analog stocks. Hasselblad XPAN Mode enables ultra-wide 65:24 aspect ratio shooting for cinematic storytelling.

Complementing these photography capabilities, every camera on Find X9s supports 4K 60fps video recording with Dolby Vision HDR, preserving rich colour and detail.

Ultra-Long Battery Life Keeps You Going All Day

A travel companion is only useful as long as it has power. Find X9s packs a massive 7025mAh OPPO Silicon-Carbon Battery, one of the largest in its class. Using OPPO’s customised spherical silicon-carbon technology, it delivers exceptional energy density in a slim profile.

The battery is built to last. Even after 5 years of use, it retains over 80%^[2] of its original capacity. When you need to top up, 80W SUPERVOOCTM delivers hours of power in just minutes.

Under the hood, the 3nm MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset, jointly tuned with OPPO, delivers flagship performance with efficient power consumption. The Trinity Engine fine-tunes resource allocation at the chip level, keeping everything smooth whether you are recording 4K video or playing demanding games. An advanced vapor chamber cooling system ensures sustained performance during intensive shooting.

AI LinkBoost with 360° Surround Antenna ensures reliable connectivity in crowded venues and remote areas, so you can share your experiences in real-time without frustration.

AI That Travels with You

Find X9s runs on the latest ColorOS 16, where a suite of powerful AI features ensures a smoother, more effortless travel experience. The all-new AI Menu Translation instantly deciphers foreign menus, provides visual references, identifies ingredients and allergens, and converts prices into your home currency.

The much-loved AI Mind Space has also been upgraded, now introducing AI Mind Pilot^[3]. Powered by multiple leading AI models, it delivers personalized answers in one place. A new AI Bill Manager has also been added, supporting both physical and digital bill records for smarter financial management.

In imaging, the new AI Motion Photo Popout introduces a striking out-of-frame effect, unlocking new creative possibilities for photo editing.

Meanwhile, ColorOS 16 brings a range of UI and system-level refinements, including the all-new Live Space, which lets you manage your lock screen in a more personalized and intuitive way.

Pricing and Availability

OPPO Find X9s is available for pre-order now until 7 May 2026 across OPPO Malaysia’s official and authorised distribution channels. The OPPO Find X9s (12GB RAM + 512GB ROM) is available in three colour options: Midnight Grey, Sunset Orange and Lavender Sky^[4], priced at RM 3,899.

In conjunction with the launch, customers who order the OPPO Find X9s during the exclusive pre-order period will enjoy RM300 instant rebate along with complimentary OPPO Find X9s Gift Box (worth RM299).

The iconic fun run that blends fitness and music made its highly anticipated return with its 11th edition as The Music Run by AFFIN Kuala Lumpur 2026, drawing more than 14,000 participants to Bukit Jalil National Stadium. With an upbeat playlist blasting along the 5km route, runners jogged and danced through the signature course in a high-energy celebration of movement, music, and community spirit.

The day-to-night celebration was elevated by dynamic emcees and DJs who kicked off the live entertainment and kept the energy pulsing throughout the stadium. Malaysia’s hottest artists lit up the stage with back-to-back hits, building anticipation to a thrilling peak before the crowd erupted at the appearance of Malaysian music icon Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza. Taking centre stage, her signature powerhouse vocals soared across the stadium, captivating the audience and sending waves of excitement through participants as they danced and sang along to every beat.

Earlier in the evening, the stage came alive with electrifying performances from Malaysia’s rising and established talents, including renowned singer-songwriter Talitha. (@talithabe), who opened the show with her catchy indie-pop and R&B hits. DJs from Jambu Jambu Asia (@jambujambu.asia) fuelled the atmosphere with high-energy beats and lively spirit, igniting the crowd with unstoppable energy, before the remarkable Irene Catalina (@irenecatalinaofficial), who had participants grooving from start to finish with her dance tunes.

Leading up to the festival’s grand finale, Subang-bred multilingual rapper Lil J (@liljgram) took to the stage, engaging participants with his signature rap flows and dynamic hip-hop beats, keeping the crowd energised and on their feet. DJ No Yeti (@itsnoyeti) then took over, mixing high-energy tracks and pulsating rhythms that propelled the party late into the night and ensured the celebration of music, movement, and fun never lost momentum.

Organised by Fresh Events Asia Sdn. Bhd., The Music Run has staged over 40 events worldwide, welcoming more than 360,000 runners to its music-fuelled experience. Blending the excitement of a music festival with the power of movement, the event brings Gen Z and Millennial communities together in a celebration of energy, fitness, and connection. Over the past 11 years, it has built a loyal fan base, with participants returning year after year and inviting new friends. The event champions an active lifestyle in a safe, alcohol-free environment—making it more than just a run, but a movement that feels inclusive and motivating.
“Every year, we aim to deliver the ultimate experience in music, energy, and community spirit—but this year’s edition was truly the most electrifying yet. The energy of the crowd was phenomenal, with excitement at an all-time high as Malaysians came together to live the beat like never before. Celebrating the 11th edition of The Music Run by AFFIN, we are inspired by how this movement continues to unite people to create unforgettable moments together, and we hope to keep building this momentum in editions to come,” said Jeff Ross, Managing Director of Fresh Events Asia.

Echoing this sentiment, Datuk Wan Razly Abdullah, President & Group Chief Executive Officer of AFFIN Group added, “We are thrilled to partner with The Music Run team to bring to life a festival that celebrates music, fitness, and community. As AFFIN advances its Metamorphosis Journey to become a Modern and Progressive Bank, we remain committed to moving in step with the rhythm of our customers’ lives. This partnership provides an exciting platform to connect with younger audiences and inspire financial readiness early on through experiences that are fun, relatable, and aligned with their aspirations.”

If you’ve been following my journey, you know life in Kajang is never quiet! Between managing the center, community events, and keeping up with my two boys, my own wellness sometimes takes a backseat. But this week, I decided it was time for a “Spring Cleaning”—not just for my body!

I officially started the Atomy Body Fit Challenge on April 6, and I’m kicking things off with a strict 7-day Colon Cleanse diet. I wanted to share my experience so far, the “fuel” I’m using, and the tech that’s keeping me honest.

The 7-Day Strategy: Discipline in a Sachet

The goal of this week was to flush out toxins and reset my metabolism. My days have been timed like clockwork.

• 7:00 AM Kickstart: I start my day by taking my Probiotics 10+ and Psyllium Husk together. This is a powerful combo for gut health and ensures everything is moving smoothly right from the start.
• 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM Energy & Focus: I follow up with HemoHIM, Triple-Up Protein, and Power Vita-Energy. Of course, I still need my caffeine fix! I enjoy an Atomy Arabica Black Coffee at 9:30 AM.
• 11:45 AM The “Secret Weapon”: Finezyme has been a life-saver for digestion after my lunch of steamed fish and veggies.
• 3:30 PM Beating the Slump: This is when cravings usually hit. My trick? Another Psyllium Husk paired with Pomegranate Jelly. It’s sweet, satisfying, and keeps me full.
• 7:00 PM Post-Workout Dinner: After my 30-minute brisk walk, I have my Atomy Easy-Enjoy meal replacement. I rotate between Sesame, Coconut Avocado, and Jujube Longan to keep it interesting!
• 9:30 PM Evening Balance: I finish the day with Vitamin C and Iron to keep my nutrients balanced.

The Results: A Lesson in Transparency

I’ve been tracking my data every morning on my Xiaomi Body Composition Scale S400. By Day 5, I saw a rapid drop down to 62.1kg. However, as any fitness journey goes, the scale isn’t always a straight line down!

By my official Sunday morning weigh-in, my weight settled at 62.5kg. That is because on Saturday, I had to attend a seminar in KL and I forgot to bring some supplements and I also couldn’t have my usual meal, plus I cheated by ordering a latte!

While that’s a slight “bounce back” from my mid-week low, I’m actually really happy with this as my Week 1 Baseline. My starting weight was 63.6kg, which means I’ve achieved a 1.1kg total loss in my first seven days. That is a healthy, sustainable start!

Why the Sunday Fluctuation?

Seeing the number tick up slightly from Friday to Sunday can be frustrating, but it’s part of the process. It could be water retention, muscle recovery from my daily walks, or just my body recalibrating after the 7-day cleanse. The most important data isn’t just the weight—it’s the fat loss. Seeing my body fat mass drop during the week proves the supplements and movement are working under the surface.

My Tech Companions

To track my progress, I’ve been testing out two gadgets:

• Huawei Band 11 Pro: I’ve been wearing this for my walks. I love how lightweight it is, and the heart rate tracking is very responsive.
• Xiaomi Body Composition Scale S400: This scale is a game-changer. It doesn’t just show weight; it breaks down water weight and muscle mass. Seeing the fat mass drop is what keeps me motivated!

How I Feel

The first two days were a challenge, but by the end of the week, the “brain fog” lifted. I feel lighter, my skin feels clearer, and I have more “bounce” in my step. Sunday marks the end of this intensive cleanse phase, and I’m ready for the next stage of the 10-week challenge!

Have you ever tried a colon cleanse or a structured fitness challenge? I’d love to hear your tips in the comments!

OPPO Malaysia joined forces with the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (JBPM) to officially launch the Bomba and OPPO Community Fire Learning Centre (CFLC) today at Balai Bomba Sri Hartamas, marking a meaningful step forward in their ongoing commitment to community empowerment, education and public engagement.

Established as part of OPPO Malaysia’s corporate social responsibility efforts, the CFLC aims to provide a more conducive and engaging learning environment for children in the surrounding community. It will also serve as a platform to nurture greater awareness, preparedness and appreciation for the vital role of Malaysia’s fire and rescue services. To further enhance the learning experience at the CFLC, OPPO Malaysia additionally contributed 12 units of OPPO Pad SE and two units of OPPO A6 5G, which will support interactive learning, improve access to digital resources and enrich educational activities for young visitors.

The opening of the CFLC marks the next chapter of this collaboration, highlighting a shared commitment to community engagement through meaningful, people-centric initiatives. The programme featured the official unveiling and tour of the CFLC, along with hands-on learning sessions led by Reno Guru-Guru for the students in attendance.

“This Community Fire Learning Centre represents the kind of impact we hope to create through our partnerships — one that is people-centred, community-focused and meaningful. We are pleased to continue to work with the JBPM to bring truly impactful initiatives such as this to life, for the benefit of children and their families, as greater safety and awareness benefits all in the surrounding community.” said Monica Chin, Chief Marketing Officer of OPPO Malaysia.

The CFLC reflects OPPO Malaysia’s belief that technology and collaboration can play a meaningful role in community development. By working closely with JBPM, OPPO aims to help create a space where children and families can learn, engage and grow in an environment that supports both education and public awareness.

“This initiative shows how public-private collaboration can bring meaningful benefits to the community. Such programs help us engage the public through interactive and educational experiences. We sincerely appreciate OPPO Malaysia for their ongoing support and commitment to community-focused initiatives, and hope that more private-sector will continue to champion such initiatives in the future,” said YAS Dato’ Sri Ts. Nor Hisham bin Mohammad, Director-General of the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia.

Riding on OPPO Malaysia’s ongoing partnership with JBPM, last year the company contributed RM100,000 to Majlis Sukan, Kebajikan dan Kebudayaan Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (MASKAB) through its OPPO A5 Pro campaign, supporting Malaysia’s firefighters and frontline personnel.

Later that year, OPPO and JBPM further strengthened the collaboration with the launch of the OPPO A6 Pro, unveiling a commemorative campaign that honours and celebrates Malaysia’s firefighters. This continued commitment has paved the way for the opening of the CFLC, bringing the partnership to a new milestone in community engagement.

Also included in the repertoire   is Beethoven’s playful Piano Concerto No.1 (third movement).

Themed Contours of Classical Beauty, the concert will affirm the youth ensemble as an orchestra to be reckoned with in this region.

In Malaysia, Halal is widely recognised as a benchmark of quality and trust, not merely a niche label. Aligning with the nation’s ambition to shape a more trusted environment with halal standards, Luckin Coffee Malaysia, a leading international coffee chain, has proudly obtained Halal certification from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) for its outlets at Sunway Velocity 2 and AEON Maluri. This milestone underscores the brand’s commitment to delivering high-quality beverages that meet Halal requirements for all Malaysians, while honouring the country’s respected values and principles.

“We are proud to assure Malaysians that LUCKIN COFFEE is now officially Halal certified. This is our commitment to ensuring that every customer can enjoy beverages from LUCKIN COFFEE with full confidence and assurance. With this certification, we enhance our bond with the community and reaffirm our promise of delivering trusted quality to all Malaysians,” said Dr. Jeff Lim, CEO of Luckin Coffee Malaysia.

Luckin Coffee Malaysia: Global Brand, Local Passion, Halal Standard
Since entering the Malaysian market in January 2025, LUCKIN COFFEE has been focused on bringing seamless retail experience with technology-driven convenience, innovation, and affordability.

“As a brand proudly operated by Malaysians, we take Halal standards very seriously as part of our commitment to going local. This goes beyond assuring the community; it is about building a safer, trusted, and more confident choice for all Malaysians. By taking this firm stance, we aim to solidify LUCKIN COFFEE’s presence in Malaysia further, ” echoed Dr Jeff Lim.

“Even before LUCKIN COFFEE officially entered Malaysia, obtaining Halal certification was already our top priority. We set up a dedicated Halal and quality assurance team to ensure strict compliance in every part of our operations, from sourcing raw ingredients, supplier selection, premise practices, right down to how our beverages are served. These relentless efforts played a key role in ensuring a smooth and timely Halal certification process, ” said Ahmad Aminurrashid bin Abd Aziz, Halal Compliance Manager, Luckin Coffee Malaysia.

With the boost of halal certification, alongside positive market prospects and a dynamic food and beverage industry, Luckin Coffee Malaysia is setting its sights on accelerating expansion nationwide. This growth forms part of the brand’s long-term vision to bolster and grow its integrated, tech-driven coffee lifestyle in Malaysia. Additional outlets are also in the pipeline to be Halal certified in stages, further reinforcing inclusivity and accessibility for customers nationwide.
