Imaginatricks @ Resorts World Genting

I was at the edge of my seat, digging my nails into the flesh of my palms and gritting my teeth. Happening just a few meters away from me, I couldn’t blink a second. The daredevils of Imaginatricks blew our minds with their death-defying stunts, inducing cardiac jolts along the way.

The show is more that what its name suggests. Imaginatricks is beyond imagination and did not seem so much of a trickery. It gels together a show that is glossed by dance, punctuated by singing, and blended with acrobats and stunts that pushes human’s limitations. Engineering know-how is also part of the recipe of this ovation-worthy show.

Entertaining with great showmanship

A recommended post-dinner activity

With daily shows at 8pm except for Sunday at 4pm from 25 May - 10 November 2019 
and from 19 November 2019 - 24 May 2020 (with an additional 4pm matinee on Saturdays)

Flamboyant display of costumes and accessories

Spectacular choreography

Splashes of colour and lots of sparkles

Popular depiction of basketball usually centres around the United States of America, but the sport is also incredibly popular in Central and Eastern Europe. Hailing from Hungary is Face Team, the world’s first and only acrobatic sports theatre. Formed in 2004 and reaching the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent Series 6, the Guinness World Record-achieving basketball acrobatic team is sending Bálint Huszár, Ádám Gyujtó, Kerim Daghistani, Talán Tóth, Dénes Martsa and Tamás Felföldi for the Imaginatricks show at Resorts World Genting. With their history in NBA and FIBA events, as well as international theatrical festivals, Face Team will be performing a choreographed set showing off their acrobatic slam dunk and freestyle basket juggling skills set to a rocking, pumping soundtrack. 

Single-handedly heaving waves of laughter from the crowd

Ukrainian comedian Oleksii Krasnykh is a graduate of the Variety and Circus Academy of Ukraine in Kiev, Krasnykh won the Grand Prix of international clown festival Comediada in 2015 and is renowned for his amazing talent in pantomime and sound imitation. Having travelled the world with his one man show ‘Superstar’, Krasnykh now joins the cast of Imaginatricks as the resident clown, entertaining audiences with a comedy sketch routine whose appeal transcends language and geographical barriers.

Next level cycling

The Gerlings exhibits their daring face 

From the sultry continent of Latin America comes a death-defying performance. Hailing from Colombia, the award-winning acrobatic Gerlings troupe brings miracles high above the stage with an amazing Highwire act. Twelve members of the troupe will take to the sky high above the Genting International Showroom stage, preparing to performs feats like running, dancing, jumping, rope skipping, bicycle riding, chair balancing or – most astounding of all – a balancing human pyramid on nothing by a thin wire. It will be breath-taking, it will be startling and it will be astonishing to see what the acrobats of The Gerlings can do… which is a testament to the limits of human physical achievement, willpower and imagination.

And finally, the audience should continue to look up as The Gerlings regroup with their Wheel of Suspense show to IMAGINATRICKs. Four members of The Gerlings will risk their lives to showcase impossible features on a rolling double-wheel contraption called the Wheel of Suspense, balancing themselves precariously on rotating thin strips of metals while performing jumps, cartwheels, somersaults, handstands and more. It is an act that has won The Gerlings gold medals at the Monte Carlo International Circus Festival and the Wujiao International Circus Festival in 2017 (among many other awards), and the perfect cap off to an amazing night.

Check out how skating sans ice is done

Skating onto the stage next will be ice skaters Aleksander Popov and Elena Efaeva. Former Junior Champion Popov and Efaeva have both represented Russia on an international level at global ice-skating championships with skills that have amazed audiences worldwide. Together, they have devised a beautiful and passionate Ice Skating Adagio routine for Imaginatricks that is equal parts poetically beguiling and technically demanding.

Lala Noodle Soup at Kedai Kopi Lai Foong @ Petaling Street

Bliss came at only the price of RM11 at Kedai Kopi Lai Foong. This afternoon, I souped myself up with their famous lala soup noodles.

While the lala might look like the main character, the star is actually the broth which inherits the lala's briny sweetness. Cooked with Chinese rice wine and ginger, the aroma is simply heavenly. You should have seen me savouring the last drop.

.Take your time dig in the lalas. Not too big and juicy, but still satisfying as I managed to uncover 23 of them from the mesh of bee hoon. Some clams are bound to make you use your fingers but it will be worth it. Such lip-smacking experince!

Former boy band Westlife member and songwriter Brian McFadden has been announced as special guest performer in Boyzone’s “Thank You and Goodnight Farewell Tour” last show on 14th June 2019 at Malawati Stadium, Shah Alam.

McFadden started his singing career as member of Westlife, which was formed in 1998 and released the debut studio album “Westlife” in 1999. He left Westlife in 2004 to begin his solo career and released the single “Real to Me,” a track in his debut solo album “Irish Son.” In 2016, McFadden and Boyzone’s Keith Duffy formed the group Boyzlife and toured the world, performing their bands’ hits.

“When we started out as five young Dublin Northsiders, eager to face the world, we never imagined that we’d still have an army of fans some twenty-five years later… If you’d seen our famous first TV appearance on ‘The Late Late Show,’ you’d probably be surprised too!” said the band, according the tour website. Boyzone enjoyed success throughout their career.



“We’ve played stadiums and arenas all over the world, released six albums, and had almost two-dozen hits. We really can’t put into words just how much you, the fans, have supported us along the way. Without that support, we would have never achieved what we have, and for that we’re eternally grateful,” they added.

Detoxing the Body with MinTox

Leading a healthy lifestyle is not only living in the spectrum of exercise, plenty of water and nutritious food. Although kilometers of runs, lots of careful grocery shopping plus living beside a giant water tumbler, there is something amiss. Lethargy always seem to be in the way of my active lifestyle. Besides, the glow on my skin is pathetically absent despite dripping cups of sweat that was supposed to draw the radiance out from my pores.

Leading an active lifestyle, eating clean and drinking lots of water isn't enough. What else is missing?

With some research, I came to realize that although I have been bathing myself with nutrients, my body was saturated and was not receptive to anymore goodness that is offered to it. I highly suspect that latent toxins is the devil in my body. The accumulation from the inevitable processed food, unclean air, emergency all-nighters and occasional food sins will take a toll on the body. 

Desperate to get rid of the lethargy, I begin to search for ways to purge the toxins from my body.  Naturally, the body expels toxins through sweat, urine and stool. However, I come to understand that regular bowel movement is not enough for body detoxification. On the other hand, turning to laxatives to purge is also dangerous and may cause dehydration.

It was during the search I found MinTox and decided to try it for a period of 1 month. 

Received my first MinTox package!

MinTox is a dietary supplement in powder form. One box of 14 sachets costs RM 138 which provides for 14 days. The essential ingredients are psyllium husk, kiwi extract and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) which will work the magic.

Made from natural ingredients, it promotes positive digestive system and promotes growth of beneficial bacteria. It improves intestinal environment, leading to better health. Its 100% natural contents are mild and do not irritate the intestines; soften stools, gently remove harmful substances in the intestines, effectively promote intestinal peristalsis, and regulate bowel movement. It also helps in weight loss, improving skin, lowering blood pressure and balancing cholesterol levels.

With less toxins in the body, I can expect a brighter complexion and a more energetic body with one side effect. During the detoxing period, I am expected to frequent to bathroom much more. If more time in the loo can expel the lethargy and toxins, I consider it an easy trade-off.

This certainly sounds like an investment worth while for a healthier me!

1 box gives me 2 weeks of supply

 How to drink MinTox

Add 1 packet a day into around 200ml of water
I prefer taking it after dinner around 8pm-9pm so that it detox can be done more effectively overnight when there is no more food intake

Give it a good shake

Chug down the delicious drink! I love the smell of peach. It makes me look forward to the drink every night.

Remember to flush it down with plenty of water so that the fine psyllium husks is not gone to waste

I cannot wait to meet the healthier me!

Stay tuned to see the results in 1 month!
