Marie Digby Live in Malaysia Media Conference

Finally I'm updating about Marié Digby after the Sneak Peak post. The reason I took such a long time to update about this is due to the fact that I was busy handling some stuff for my college's sports carnival, and secondly is because I HAD TOO MANY PICTURES OF MARIE that I had a very hard time choosing which picture to post...Sorry for the picture quality as it is compromised to ensure faster loading of my blog page...



Thanks to Advertlets, I had a chance to meet Marie Digby in person. I'm loving every bit of her songs now! Had a chance to take a picture of her before the conference start. She was actually there earlier than the media which is very rare among celebrities.



I actually this Indian bodyguard was quite cool and I wanted to take a picture of him and he was actually camera shy, he adjusted his tie and then slowly looked away! Haha! The tough guy is SHY!



She's this fun and friendly girl that has no big ass attitudes which I admire.



Pretty!



Lovely!



Marie sang "Paint Me in Your Sunshine" for the media.



I just noticed... ALL JEANS....



Cheerful!



I'm so-so-so-so-so-so addicted to her songs now!

Check out her channel on youtube here.

APIIT Tamil New Year Puthandu Celebrations 2008

The Tamil New Year and Vaisakhi was celebrated in APIIT last month. In recent years, the college never failed in giving the international experience to all the students and staffs with cultural and festival celebrations from different parts of the world. The local and international students and staffs will work together to make the celebrations happen.

Puthandu, or better known as Tamil New Year, is the celebration of the first day of the new Tamil year by people of Tamil origin. It follows the Tamil Calendar, which is used in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry in India, and by the Tamil population in Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka.
The celebration generally fall on April 12, April 13 or April 14. People greet each other on this day by saying இனிய தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு நல்- வாழ்த்துக்கள் (Iniya Tamizh Puthaandu Nalvazthukkal).

Vaisakhi (Punjabi: ਵਸਾਖੀ, vaisākhī, also known as Baisakhi) is an ancient harvest festival in Punjab, which also marks beginning of a new solar year, and new harvest season.

This was how they cook the sweet milk outside the campus building.



The Punjab Emcee kicked off the celebrations with his energetic speech.



Dr. Parmjit Singh and Prof. Les was honoured and welcomed by the Tamil people.



Dr. Parmjit and Prof. Les lighting the Kuthuvilaku(The brass light stand) signifying a new year to come.



The ceremony followed by Sikhs chanting with the Kirpan.



There were a lot of interesting performances and celebrations happened on that day. Stay tune for more...

Happy 16th Birthday Devilish Baby Jamie!

(She's so killing me for this picture,but you're laughing right?Haha)

A very Happy Birthday to Jamie!

You can no longer go around and tell other people you're 15!

I've known this cheerful girl for not long. I first met her at the special screening of Ah Long Pte Ltd. Very Energetic and vibrant, she never stop talking! Everybody is happy when she's around!

Sorry that I couldn't make it for your party as I have transportation problem.

Happy Birthday Jamie Liew!

Short Update: What I've been doing recently

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I've been busy with my exams and after that I went back to my hometown Penang. The first thing to do is to have Penang Char Koay Teow! Just like Tony Stark in Iron Man wanted to have an American Cheeseburger right before anything else when he arrived back in his home country.



I haven't been back since Chinese New Year! 3 months!



Parents took me to have great meal at Salsas.



I got some photos printed and had this picture framed as a gift to Yin Tung for his birthday.



Had dinner at a German restaurant called Ingolf the night before I came back to KL.

More post are coming up! Stay tune!

An Orgasmic Audio with Headphones!

I just started using Stumble Upon one week ago and it has been bringing lots of online entertainment to me.



Just 10 minutes ago, my Malawian friend Sami sent me a link in Stumble Upon about this audio clip done with Binaural Recording technology. Let me tell you! This is totally MIND-BLOWING! IT'S WICKED!!!!

Binaural recording is a method of recording audio which uses a special microphone arrangement intended for replay using headphones.
(Check out the wikipedia page of Binaural Recording here)

So get your Headphones ready! Plug it into your PC, and close your eyes when you are listening to it!

Don't even bother to try listening to it with speakers, it doesn't work, you'll just hear some stupid sound if you use the speaker.

Use a pair of headphones!

Make sure you close your eyes!

If you don't try it, you'll regret it!

The link is here!

Take care of your hair! LOL You'll know what I mean later!

(tip: there's one part the audio stop suddenly,i don't know what the problem is but you just need to click play and it will continue,its not because of buffer speed.)

ADV: Meet Soh Hem Sem or Meet So Logic?

Few days ago, I saw this Soh Hem Sem guy around the net and begin to ask myself, what's so "Hem Sem" about him?



I logged on the site and saw this "stim" fella on the main page, he looks blur and all. There's these few buttons where you can click to make him change his hairstyle, try checking it out, they're kinda cool.



One that I liked most is the "Meet the Granny" part where she made him look like this good boy with the conventional old school center parting hairstyle, after that he quickly waxes his hair and turns himself into a cool guy.

Being LogicYuan myself, isn't it illogical if I do not do something to match this "soh chai"?



LogicYuan with his crappy look... Having low self esteem, unwilling to meet people, always hiding in his corner at home....



He decides to do something about his life and starts off slow with a random hairstyle...

Okay, that ain't good enough...



Logic found out that he had failed to be trendy and got a little sad, he turns himself into this dumbass...



Suddenly, he wants to go old school with the superman hook...



After spending so much time styling his hair, his parents are yelling at him to study for the upcoming exams! That's when the Nerdy and introvert Logic comes to show...



Having much consideration, LogicYuan thinks its better to be the bully than to be bullied!

Who's your daddy?!?!



Logic actually wants to be a punk!
(insider joke:but not with flowers on his head)



Now I let you comment on my facial expression? LOL



Ok! Finally its a look where Logically he can be himself in it...



In the end, logic got all crazy and starting to question himself: "Is this all logical?!?!"



Last but not least, they have this home made ad competition for brylcreem, I watched the top 3 winners, and they were very cool and creative. The kid in the "Brylcreem Ad For All Ages" is so cute can!

Grand Opening of Super Sony Centre at One Utama

This is NOT a paid post.



Last Friday, I was invited to the Grand Opening of Malaysia's 1st BLU RAY WORLD & Best Denki Sony Centre. Thanks to Katherine from MediaMax.

It started off with the speeches by the Japanese officials, representatives from MediaMax, One Utama etc. Ok I'll leave the coverage of the boring speeches to the newspapers, for my blog, let's move on the next agenda.



Here comes the ribbon cutting ceremony.



Have a glance of the Largest Super Sony Centre at One Utama. The floor area is approximately 3800 sq. feet.


Mr. Kazuo Nakai, Mr. Naoi Sudo, Mr. K.Kakuro

Three Managing Directors posing!



Nowadays, a LCD TV is on every household's home entertainment wanted list. Having a LCD TV together with a PS3 would be PERFECT!


Sony Blu-Ray World at Super Sony Centre, One Utama.

I personally love high resolution videos. When the Blu-Ray format was first launched, I remember surfing the whole net to get samples of the quality. I even downloaded some Blu-Ray rip torrent of some movies. They were all awesome. The clarity of the video allows you to even judge the texture of surfaces without stressing your eyes. MediaMax have now released 66 Blu-Ray movie titles from Sony Pictures Home entertainment. They are planning to release 3 new titles every month.

According to Jamie Tiong from MediaMax.com, the Blu-Ray movie sales increased from the initial 500pcs/month to 1000pcs/month. Their target is to have 10,000pcs sold in 2008. I personally think that the sales is still low because of the pricing. A piece of Blur-Ray movie disc is priced at RM149.90. Due to its impeccable quality, it is inevitable to have such a pricing, but it is still few times cheaper than the once almighty Laser Disc was launched 3 decades ago.

That is not all. The Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray player cost around 4k which is only affordable to the upper class income group. I'd rather buy a Playstation 3 that can play Blu-Ray movies as well as Blu-Ray games which are awesome!



The cute lego decorations caught my attention while I was looking at the HD video cameras.



"Satu Rumah Satu Blu-Ray", when is that happening? We'll see...

A bastard without an Ass

Sorry to Nigel for not going to the blogger movie outing with him. I had commitments for the Student Council in my college. I went to survey the site of the sports carnival that is going to happen next month.After that we went to Mid Valley to check out the stuffs that we need to buy for the non-sports events.

Note: Foreigners in APIIT tend to recognise Mid Valley as Megamall and they're not wrong. It's suppose to be Mid Valley Megamall but then there are so many megamalls over here, so try to say Mid Valley and the taxi driver will understand it.

Spent 40 minutes just to find a parking lot in Keat Hoe's car. There were these barbaric beings that snatches our spots. I seriously advise people out there not to drive a car to Mid Valley on wekeends around lunch time. Being stressed out in the car for 40 minutes isn't healthy!



I bought this bread in the supermarket there and it's name is the best term to describe those beings.

BATARD - A bastard without an 's'.WITHOUT AN ASS!

"Batard" is the French word for the English "bastard".¹ In both languages, these words refer to illegitimacy, or what Dictionary.com states as "something of irregular, inferior, or dubious origin."

Batard (emphasis on the -tard) in bread circles refers to an inferior baguette, typically half the length and many times the width of a classic baguette. (Traditional baguettes are about 2 inches in diameter and anywhere from 15 to 40 inches in length.) The long slender shape of a baguette maximizes the crust to bread ratio, but requires more time and labor to achieve than its squat batard cousin

Logical Quote

Note:I'm going to Port Dickson for the weekend.



"The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins"-Heywood Broun

When I first saw this quote, it reminds me of certain events of my past. It relates to my life. I really believe in this quote as I felt extremely bad when I lost in a competition few years ago due to unfair judge panels.

Heywood Campbell Broun (December 7, 1888 - December 18, 1939) was an American journalist. He worked as a sportswriter, newspaper columnist, and editor in New York City. He founded the American Newspaper Guild, now known as The Newspaper Guild. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he is best remembered for his writing on social issues and his championing of the underdog. He believed that journalists could help right wrongs, especially social ills.
