Heyyyy loves! Hope everyone’s having a great holiday with a double celebration of Thanksgiving and Hari Raya Haji. I went back to my hometown for the long weekend and just visited grandpa’s grave in the Memorial Park this morning.

Love them so much T_T

I do miss grandpa badly but yeah, I took each and everyone of your advice hence deciding to move on instead of wallowing in despair. He’s in a much better place, I know. Thanks so much, peeps!

Oh and randomly, I was playing in Secret Recipe one fine day with my Chicken Cornish. Mom stuck the spoon in it and I conjured something funny outta it. Well.. THIS momma never taught me not to play with my food – she taught me otherwise! :)

Friday, November 27th, 2009

What’s big?
No, it’s not you momma’s boobies.

What’s green?
No, it’s not your mouldy sandwich

What’s scary?
No, it’s not how you look in the morning

What’s big, green and scary?
No it’s not the Incredible Hulk

What’s big, green, scary and local?
We’re about to find out!

Last weekend, I was invited to The Palace @ Sheraton Imperial Hotel KL for a special screening of Dimensions TVC – A joint effort by Maxis and Astro, Malaysia’s 1st made for mobile science-fiction series.

The event began with a speech by T. Kugan and Eric Foo, to introduce to us, the media and consumers, about what the entire plot is about and how to go about watching it.

11 Episodes of Dimension altogether
created exclusively for 3G and online platforms.

Soon, Episode 1 of Dimensions premiered to spark the suspense within us. Whoa, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! Given that the local film industry is kinda sullen, the production crew of Dimensions did a pretty good job.

I like the cinematography and effects involved in the making of this sci-fi series. Well, it’s definitely something I look forward to as I can totally relate to the settings of the location and cast. Wheee! Because this sci-fi thriller is set in the heart of KL which reinvents the myths and legends of our city rainforest and ancient spirits of animist tales.

Now that’s some awesome-pawsome stuff! :)

Here’s the plot I find worth sharing!

  • A series of mysterious outbreaks is sweeping through KL.
  • Entire shopping malls struck blind, multiple incidents of group hysteria, heart attacks en masse, an entire secondary school comatose. The entire medical comunity is at a loss for the cause, except for one doctor.
  • Convinced there is a correlation, she goes in search of the truth, discovering a group of unique individuals with extraordinary powers.
  • With the appearance of an enigmatic young girl and 2 dark characters on the hunt, an epic adventure beckons, with millions of lives at stake.
  • Will that curious and determined doctor uncover the truth and save the nation from this widespread epidemic? Or will these dark forces ultimately find what they are looking for and plunge the world into chaos?

TM Everyone Connects Launch + Flash Mob | Bukit Bintang

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon and I had a feeling I didn’t want to stay at home all alone after doing the house chores! So I decided to meet up with a couple of friends down town Star Hill (Bukit Bintang)

join

The traffic snarl was unbearable towards the city and I just realized that I completely forgot about the huge and grand launch of TM Everyone Connects! No wonder the massive gridlock was insane!

wild

They even shut one of the most important roads in town just for the entire event to take place – with the huge stage, LCD screen and a gigantic crowd of energetic youths! So the moment I got there (getting a parking space was a pain!) Sam and I then headed towards the center of the hype.

samme

trio

There was a huge display of a stomp performance by Stompers KL, with broomsticks, pots and pans and many other household stuff! Video thanks to Sam, checkit out :

It certainly got all the onlookers especially the foreigners real confused yet amused at the same time : )

flashmob

bigscreen
Bunkface’s Through My Window
was playing all day!

Other popular songs were played as well and the volume was pumped up to the max! Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’, Boys Like Girls ‘Love Drunk’, Katy Perry’s ‘Waking Up in Vegas’ together with more chart-topping hits! We sang along like crazy.

bunkface

Bunkface then made their appearance and ran towards the stage to sing their popular song, Through My Window! It was broadcasted on the big screen along with the lyrics for all to see and sing along!

shaggystaff

Check out Sam and I jumping on the bandwagon to participate as well in the video that I shot with Sam’s camera:

DO NOT LAUGH
Cos I’m singing in a very insane manner! >_<

Another awesome thing that was so coincidental was that, I met a few of my readers during this Everyone Connects launch! Geddit? Everything is possible with Everyone Connects : ) Yup, because everyone really connects today! It’s really nice meeting your readers in person, and getting to know them too.

allison

And here they are, lemme intoduce Allison (above)
and Sue Fei (below) for you ^_^

suefei

I was enticed by the participation of this huge flash mob. Fun and communication transcends at any age! I saw the old, the young and the… erm.. very young, playing a part in this launch as well!

youth

It was rather amusing when I noticed that all the passengers of our skytrain – the LRT, kept peering through the glass window just to look down at everything that’s happening right here in the middle of Bintang Walk.

unite

Soon after, Reshmonu then prepared to perform, he was dressed as a big orange microphone when he was running towards the stage! But we all knew it was him – his dreadlocks were the giveaway!

reshmonu

There was a heavy downpour but it definitely did not dampen our spirits. We continued singing and jumping in the rain along with the outrageous crowd before escaping to grab some dinner in Secret Recipe with Joshua, Sam and Vic.

When I came back, local band Basolaye was playing on stage with their very own version of Through My Window. Apparently they had a whole hoard of supporters, roaring and cheering for them throughout the performance.

basolaye

Bunkface then stole the limelight again and performed the closure of this entire TM Everyone Connects launch.

nitecrowd

It certainly was an eventful day and a rather awesome one too. Connecting – with no cutting required! Hahahahaaha (If you’re Malaysian, you would understand this joke) So if ya spot me walking in the streets whatsoever, let’s take a picture and get connected as well, wheeee! : )





How I got thrown into jail and blogged from there!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Okay. Out of ALL the FML stories that I tweet about every now and then, nothing beats this. Yup, you betcha. Right here right now, I’m stuck in an epic problem. Yes literally stuck IN BETWEEN this shit.

Ya know how every condo unit will have a main wooden door and a metal grill gate right? Yes, that’s where I am now. In between those two – I’m not locked OUT and NOT locked in. I’m simply stuck in the middle of this dilemma.

So I whipped out my berry and started blogging this,at this very moment. Thank god! For without it I would be bored to death. T_T Much love goes out to my concerned friends that BBM-ed me the moment I tweeted about it [here]!

Speaking of which, I’m on the phone with buddy Erin now. So nice of her to call! *hugs* However, there were nasty friends of mine that laughed at me and even kept retweeting me! But then again, I don’t blame anyone la. It IS kinda funny come to think of it right?
Sigh

Okay yay, just got word that someone is coming to save me. Now all I can do is wait and try to find some self entertainment. I just opened my shoe cabinet and *shy* I didn’t know I had that many pairs of heels. Ooops!

Hey I’m actually beginning to get used to being locked up and sitting here on the cute Ikea stool that I derive pleasure in hurling random rants on this blog. Hmm, it ain’t that bad after all. Oh you know what’s funny? Things could be worse. I thank God I’m not hungry. And fortunately, I don’t feel like I need to pee.

And good thing I’m not claustrophobic. Or afraid of spiders.
There’s one in the same corner as me now.


The best part was when I asked mom what to do, she told me to camwhore to pass my time and send her my miserable pictures. Haha. Okay, it’s now clocking into one solid hour in this cage already. Sigh. You can come and take pictures of me like I’m an ancient relic in a museum display window if you want to. LOL


This is for you, mom

NOW I KNOW HOW CRIMINALS FEEL IN PRISON AND REHAB! Heck, those jailbirds don’t even have internet for chrissake -_-” Ohnoes. Let’s just hope my berry doesn’t run outta battery before I’m rescued outta this.

Entertain me, somebody?
I don’t like it here :(
