Cleo’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelor 2009 – Part 3

The Cleo’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelor’s finale will be held at ZOUK, KL tomorrow. My friends and I will make a trip down to ZOUK to give Cris our full support. I made a banner for Cris – thank Big Ben for the bright idea.

Now I need some guys to hold the banner. Imagine a group of muscular guys screaming out “Cris I want to have your babies!!”.

Cris FTW!!

Cleo’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelor 2009 – Part 2

Last weekend, A, Karen, Ping, Edmund, Andrew, Sherrie and I went to Pavilion shopping centre to support contestant no #16, Cris. Cleo organised a speed dating event for some lucky girls to meet their favourite bachelor.

Before that, we had lunch at La Bodega. Ping and I ordered their signature cheese burger. On the menu, it states that it takes around 20 minutes to be prepared. We waited…30 minutes later, still no burger! We checked with the waiter and few minutes later, the manager came to inform us that they have forgotten to key in our orders!

Karen: liddat ar, give us 2 free burgers la then!

And they gave us 2 free burgers!


But I hope that the buns didn’t go thru any armpits or floor may.

After lunch, we met Cris at the cafe where they had the event. There were loads of people. I heard that earlier they had load of girls lining up to meet the guys. Even school girls!


Autographs pls…


Cris popped out with a mock credit card with his face on it.

I heard that one girl came all the way from Perak to meet one contestant, who is also a celebrity. Unfortunately, after travelling few hundred kilometres, she found out that the contestant didn’t come. I bet her heart cracked louder than new years eve fireworks.

We overheard that there was one girl that was dyiiiinnnggggg to meet Cris. When they met, I quickly snapped a picture…


Guess which girl? Keke

The one on the right to be precise. She wanted to meet Cris because she’s also half Filipino. Ooo hotness…

Please vote for contestant #16, Cristopek!!!

Blogger Boy – my tragic life in comics

8tv will be showing a drama series entitled ‘Blogger Boy – my tragic life in comics’ on 28 May 2009. I tried doing a search online for Blogger Boy but I can’t seem to find any details about it except that a local actor will be playing as a character in the show.


Blogging begins this 28 May 2009? How do you blog on a television show huh?

I think the word ‘blog’ has been overused. People nowadays put the word ‘blog’ in their product just to attract attention. Maybe in the future we will have BloggerBurger or even..

Cleo’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelor 2009

Malaysia’s Cleo’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelor is a yearly contest organised by Cleo Magazine to find Malaysia’s most eligible bachelor.

Couple of years ago, a reader of this website submitted a picture of me to join Cleo’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelor – without my knowledge! This reader downloaded a picture from this website and submitted it Cleo. And this reader is a guy! Wtf!

This year, my good friend Cris is in the contest!


Vrooommmmm vrooomm Mat Rempit!

I knew Cris when we were still 15 years old. From the day I knew him, he had always been a feichai (fatty). But since last year, he decided to workout and turned into a muscle man. All this with sheer determination – something many of us don’t have.

There is one part in his comments that he said many of his friends didn’t recognise him after he lost weight. Just to show you how Cris looks like in 2003..

Wahseh!

I will be speaking at “Writing Blogs” together with other fellow bloggers, Suanie, Timothy Tiah, David Lian, Yvonne Foong and Peter Tan. Suanie will talk about blogging, from the general bit to the technical bit. Timothy Tiah will be talking about blogging and making money from it. David Lian on the other hand will be talking about blogging from a PR man’s perspective. Yvonne Foong and Peter Tan will be talking about blogging as a tool of raising funds and advocacy respectively.

I will be talking about Blogging and Malaysian Law, probably a strip down version of my talk on Blogging and Intellectual Property Law which I gave at the eLawyer Conference. This because there is more to cover.

Unlike the eLawyer event, there is an entrance fee to hear us bloggers tok kok.

If you’re interested in attending, please contact the people listed in the flyer. Please drop me mail if you’re coming.

100 Day Pull Up Challenge

Couple of months back, Crossfit gym, Pushmore started the 300 Day Burpee Challenge. In the said challenge, we had to do 1 burpee on the first day, 2 burpees on the second day and so on until the 300th day.

Just to illustrate how burpee works,

Try doing 10 non stop and tell me whether its good or not 😀

For every burpee I missed, I need to pay it back the next day. For example, if I miss 50 burpees on my 50th day, I need to do 101 (50 burpees + 51 burpees) burpees on the 51st day. There were couple of times where I came home drunk and wasn’t in a state to do any burpees. I regretted big time the next day.

After going through burpees for 80 over days, I decided to give up. It was too tiring. I had to stay up a little bit later to do burpees. However, the results were great. I lost some weight and I can even wear 31 inches pants. Before this, I was on 34 inches. Awesome!

The challenge is on its 153rd day and there are less than 10 people left in this challenge. I wish them all the best!

Now Pushmore has started another challenge namely the 100 Day Pull Up Challenge. Just like the 300 Day Burpee Challenge, we have to do 1 pull up on the 1st day, 2 pull ups on the 2nd day until the 100th day! This is so much easier!


My name is already on the Pushmore whiteboard!

If anyone wants to take up this challenge, please do! I even got a friend in Singapore to do it!

Testing wordpresss!

I have finally migrated my blog to WordPress. It took me 3 days to test and move my 2000 entries archive. My archives screwed up big time. Most of my old entries lost all their paragraphing. Further, the authors of some of my entries were screwed up too. I had to amend them one by one. But it was great to read back the old entries and the comments posted. We had so much fun back then.

Although you dont see any changes in the layout of the website, there are loads of changes behind it.

Now there’s a system where you can register yourself a commentor. I’m trying to add a feature where you can put your own avatar 😀

Any WP users can recommend me good plugins?

Twitter and Facebook

I’ve jump on the Twitter bandwagon. I’ve read many articles about Twitter and how good it is. There was an article on BBC stating that students should study ‘Twitter’. And there was also an article on how Jennifer Aniston broke up with John Mayer because of his Twitter obsession. Yao mouuu?

However, I couldn’t understand why is it so popular. It’s just a small tool where I can post short messages (approximately 140 characters long), just like the Facebook status. I decided to try it myself and boy, it’s pretty addictive! I update at least twice a day!

I installed a Twitter software on my Blackberry. It’s a freeware called Tiny Twitter. I also synchronized my Twitter with my Facebook status. Now my updates on Twitter is shown on my Facebook status.

On an unrelated note, I created a button for the www.xes.cx Facebook group.

Please feel free to join!

Maxis iPhone 3G

Finally! Finally!
iPhone 3G is in town! Many thanks to Maxis!

The sleek 3 in 1 phone (phone, widescreen iPod and internet device ) was release some time back in the United States but took a long time to arrive on Malaysia’s shores. The price is a little bit steep but that’s what you pay for a good phone. It around RM4000 for the phone together with a contract. But the price should be acceptable since the RM4000 is inclusive of a phone line + data plan (highest being 3gig!). Further, you can pay by way of installment. You need to fork out RM4000 straight! Its around RM150 per month!
Although its available at the local phone shops (at around RM2.7k), it didn’t come with warranty which is quite important for electronic goods. If your iPhone breaks down halfway, you have no choice but to send it to some dodgy repairman (who may download all your personal information from the phone O_O) or alternatively, throw it into the dustbin.
A friend had his iPhone thrown out from the 1st floor after it slipped off his friend’s hand who was playing some virtual fishing game. If he had the warranty, he wouldn’t have beaten his friend up so badly. But amazingly, the iPhone survived with couple of scratches.
To those doesn’t know, iPhone is one of the most technologically advanced phones. It only has a touch screen and no keypad. Keypad can be summoned through a single click and it will appear on the touch screen. Then you can move the keypad away to do other stuff like playing games, watch videos and even take pictures. Everything is done with your fingers. You can use your fingers to scroll through your photo album and even enlarge the photos using your fingers. It’s like having a small computer in your pocket!
One of the best things about iPhone is their games. You can download games from websites and then install it. I was so hooked to Parking Lot.

Parking Lot! Get your car out!
Some of iPhone’s game work on the motion of the phone. For example, there’s one driving game where you can move your phone left and right to control the car.
Further, with 3G, you can surf the net where ever you are – in the car, in a boring meeting or even in the toilet! There’s also no need for SMS. You can install Google Talk or MSN in your iPhone and be online 24 hours!
The Maxis iPhone 3G launch will be held at 7pm on March 20 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, where customers who have pre-registered for iPhone 3G (you can register at their website) will be invited to the event to collect their phones. Walk-in customers who have not made bookings may also register for iPhone 3G and will be notified for a collection on a subsequent date.
For more information about the Maxis iPhone 3G plan, please visit www.maxis.com.my/iPhone. Maxis customers can also call 1800 821 123 for details on how to book their iPhone 3G devices and plans.
I WAN TO GET ONE TOO!!
