My Favourite Surfing Spot

For this week instant cash blogging for project alpha, the title is "My Favourite Surfing Spot". When i look at this topic, there are alot of thoughts run in my mind. But i think the most related one is the website that i visit the most when i online. So, i think my favourite surfing spot is facebook.

 

facebook

 

Facebook is one of the social networking website that attracts millions and millions of people. I had heard of the name 'facebook' back in 2007. During that time i own one account for friendster too. But soon when i lost interest in friendster due to limitation of account of a person (limit of friend is 1000 only, if i am not mistaken) and complexity of usage. I abandoned my friendster account totally after a while. After a few months, i delete my friendster account.

After i delete my account, i think that i do not need a social network account like friendster because i think that all of social network site is the same. But one day, as i had nothing to do in cyber cafe, i created an account for facebook. Since then, i can say i am much addicted to facebook.

Every morning after i open my eyes, the first thing i do is i go to my laptop, on it and login to my facebook account. after that, i spend my time checking all the notifications and latest updates from friends.

Besides, i spend my time on facebook games too. Games that i play the most on facebook is mafia wars. My friend introduced this game to me one day when i was in cyber cafe. Again, i addicted to mafia wars soon and i play continuously from last year till now. I start from new york, then continue to cuba and moscow, now i play until bangkok stage.

mafia wars

I also surf other site as well when i online. i will surf my blog to check my cbox, the star for news, soccernet for latest football news and google when i need to search for information.

I Just Love Good Smelling People

When i was small, i always saw my dad apply something on his armpit after he bath. that time i was small and i do not know the existence of deodorant, which can make u smell good and fresh all the day. that time i was curious and like look at the deodorant that my dad was using. i thought it was some kind of magic as my dad just jokingly told me that it is a magic stick that make u smell good. lol

fast forward to the time i just entered UTP, around 4 years ago. i am still remember the first time i am using deodorant. that time i bought the deodorant from a direct selling company as my friend introduced the deodorant to me. when i first hold the deodorant, it was like a magic for me. i apply it everyday after i bath and definitely, i smell good and fresh for all day long (this sentence is to emphasize the magic of deodorant only. i always smell good all the time. :P ). 

after i finish the deodorant bought from my friend, i switch to using other brand of deodorant. although all these deodorants smell great, i am still looking for the perfect one for me. and then comes adidas deodorant, which is just appear in market around 2 years ago. after i tried adidas deodorant, i fall in love with its smell straightaway. 

 

my current deodorant

besides, adidas deodorant also has cool design. i prefer the deodorant spray, which is easy to bring anywhere i go. i bring the deodorant along when i am having sport activities, which i can apply quickly after i bath. i even brought it when i am traveling. but there is one time i have to throw it away. it was the time i went to yogyakarta. i forgot to put in the baggage and i brought it in my hand carry bag. when i at custom inspection, i have to throw that away because my deodorant is more than 100ml. if not i will become some sort of terrorist which will use a deodorant to bomb the plane. lol. so i have to throw it away and i just started using it few days ago only. T.T

 

adidas deodorant, the perfect deodorant for me. :)

Tiger Run

sorry for disappearing for more than 1 month. although february is the shortest month in a year, in this month i had lots of events. lets start with my 1st event of the month, TIGER RUN! woohoo~

6 February 2009

i was invited to Tiger Run by Nuffnang. u can refer to my entry post here. but both tiger run n putrajaya marathon at the same day. luckily tiger run started at 4pm while putrajaya marathon started at 8pm. so i can join both events.

 

registration counter

 

name tag

 goodie bag

goodie bag is used to fill the items collected during the race like tiger beer, tiger poker card, tiger beer merchandise etc (forget what i had collected d. lol)

before the run, there is some briefing about what we should do for the run. each person get a map about the route of the run.

 more briefing~

finally the run start after all the briefing. all people were so energetic thinking of the dream that they are going to win if they finish first in the run. luckily there were no pushing around so everyone is ok when the race start. 

 

CHIONG AR~

the run was bad for me. first i don have any twitter account. and i have to create one on the spot. and the internet is not working well. :( i stay there creating my twitter account for 15 minutes. 

the subsequent task were easy, except the one that we need to finish buffalo wing. i thought buffalo wing is nice to eat. so i just open my mouth big big without second thought. mana tau buffalo wing burned like hell. my lips turned red, my hand turned red, n my face turn red too! n those part tat i touch burned like fire. and i suffer throughout the whole marathon and have diarrhea whole night.

stay tune for next post. :)

My Dream in the Year of the Tiger

dream, is something that is absurd to other people but it is meaningful to that person. dream can be a great motivation tool to the person. dream can help a person to reach higher state than before. dream can even make a person STRONGER than ever.

i have dream too. in fact, i am so greedy that i have a lot of dreams at one time. lol. but i think that there is one dream that is never change and it remains unchanged in my heart for a very long time. i always want to achieve that dream, the dream of my life.

the dream of my life is that i want to backpack to whole south east asia, particularly mainland of south east asia. i think all of you wondering why i want to choose to travel to south east asia rather than other places like china and europe. but there are few reasons that i think south east asia is more attractive than other part of the world.

haversack and passport are the basic needs for backpacking

as a south east asian and malaysian, i know that south east asia always is that mystery and it attracts a lot of attention outside world. one of the reasons is that south east asia have a very strategic geographic, and it is a place where merchants from east and west trade their products here since civilization. in fact, they brought along their culture with them as well. these different cultures blend together and create a culture that is unique. so in south east asia, there are a wide variety of culture here as each country has different history, culture and tradition, and each one is different from others.  (now i know that history is useful and finally i can apply it  ^^)

besides, i am inspired by the world most famous travel guide book founder, tony wheeler and maureen wheeler of lonely planet. it is all begun with the book "once while travelling: the lonely planet story". the book is about how they travel from UK to australia and their life changes after that vacation. it always inspire me to backpack in future as backpacking is one of the way to broaden our mind. backpacking is also my favourite travelling type as you have your own leisure to explore the place. while you are exploring at your own leisure, you can discover and understand more about the local tradition and culture.

once while travelling: the lonely planet story

 tony wheeler and maureen wheeler. inspiration of my dream

but, there is something holding me back from doing all these. as i am still a student, i do not have any income yet. so i cannot save any money and use it for travelling. so my dream of backpacking over south east asia can be achieved after my studies.

No Money T_T

now there is a chance for me to have my dream come true.tiger beer and nuffnang is currently organizing tiger run for all the people out there to have their dream come true. if i am chosen for tiger run, i guess i will be very lucky because i am one step nearer to my dream!

tiger run

if i have the chance to backpack this year, i will start my journey in kuala lumpur. then i will travel to thailand, laos, cambodia and then vietnam. after vietnam i will travel to singapore. after singapore i will back to kuala lumpur.

route

Thailand

Laos

 

Cambodia

 

Vietnam

 

Singapore

all these will be done using car, train or bus only and if can try to avoid using plane (except for the journey from vietnam to singapore). it is because when i travel using car, train and bus, i will stop in the heart of every city. so i can have some local experience once i step out of any kind of transport.

cherish with tiger beer,

CORBY go go go!

last monday, when i was facebook-ing (OoOops!) working in my office , i received an email from nuffnang. the email is regarding invitation to Samsung CORBY Carnival. each of us will be assigned to each team and we will team up with other blogger in a team. the winner will get 1 brand new CORBY back! wooohoooooooooo ~ imagine i will be holding the phone will make me smile everyday. ^^

 

samsung corby carnival day

so i sent my confirmation back to nuffnang and waiting for the reply happily because this one will be my first nuffnang event. :) imagine i will win a brand new CORBY back this weekend.  then i become coolest person because i have CORBY. muahahahahaa :D !

so finally i received the confirmation email from nuffnang! so i will be joining the event! woohoo! but few minutes later, nuffnang sent me another email and they REVOKE my invitation! i was damn 'kam cheong' that time. imagine CORBY flying away from me. T_T i wanted to contact them but tat time is lunch time. and food is more important than anything else, so i decided to go have my lunch first.

after my lunch, nuffnang sent me an email stated that the revoke of application is system error. phew. so, i am invited! so i am going to SUNWAY this sat. woohoo!

as my gf is invited for the event, she went all the way down from penang on friday. this is her first nuffnang event too. so ah kit, kelvin, michael, my gf and i will be joining the event ^^.

kelvin and ah kit

michael aka ah chun

my gf and i

as 3 of them stay in genting klang and my gf and i will be staying in pj, so we met at kelana jaya at 830. that morning when i was waiting for lrt (my gf left me at lrt station T_T), surprisingly i met 3 of them in lrt. then after that we went to sunway together.

when we reached there, we registered at the counter at sunway lagoon. surprisingly(0.0)5 of us were in the same group !!! we were in yellow group. we are Yellow Man. i will follow u ~  means either all of us win OR we don get anything. we met our group members too while we were waiting.

we entered extreme park as all the event will be around extreme park. when we reached surf deck, there was breakfast waiting for us. when i was eating my breakfast, suprisingly i met my friend, asyraf there. then we chit chat a bit and catch up with our recent activities.

extreme park wristband

then Liang the mc started the event. first someone highly ranked from samsung (i think should be the chairman, forgot the post) give some speech about the event. after the speech, the first event started!

the samsung people giving speech

the winning team will get 50 points. the second place will get 20 points and the third place will get 10 points. last place will get nothing at all. 

the first event is Trample On Balloon. 10 person from each team joined the competition. first our opponent is pink group. in first match we lost to pink group because when i was happily trying to step balloon, other people whose balloon has exploded came and step my balloon. =.=" so everyone was stepping other group balloon no matter their balloon exploded or not. in the end all people rush to the only person whose balloon haven exploded. imagine u are that person at that time. i believe u will like meatball when it finish. lol

yellow man in the match~

although we lost in first match, we don lost our spirit. we rearrange our strategy as there is no losing, only wrong strategy. after that our opponent is white team. in this one we can use our hand. muahahahhahaha. so when it started i just grabbed the balloons and pong! And Hurray ~ the balloons exploded! so in this match we won with most of our team member balloon don explode. so we got 10 points in this event.

me leg with balloon

the second event is Get-wet-u aka tug-of-war in the pool. this event is considered one of the worst event for our team. imagine mike tyson vs manny pacquiao. flyweight vs heavyweight. bang mana boleh menang. as predicted, our team lost both matches. our team totally cannot fight with heavyweight. all fell down in the water. kesian them. so this event-0 point. T_T

 imagine these 2 guys fight in a match. even mike tyson picture is larger than manny pacquiao. lol

in these 2 event we only managed to get 10 points while orange team managed to get 100 points. it is 90 points difference. so at that time i thought it is time to bid goodbye to CORBY. T_T but miracle happen next.

bye bye corby. T_T

the third event is wall climbing. first we are required to reach the top then grab a balloon down. as each team has different route and different route has different difficulty, so apparently only white team managed to get few balloons down. after that they change the rule. then it is time for our team to shine. lol. our team MVP, michael aka chun managed to climb a few times up there and we won this event. so this event we managed to get 50 points.

Xtreme park. it is where u get XTREME~ woohoo~ n in this pic is where wall climbing take place 

last event is paintball. this one is the most exciting competition among all. so in this event each team will have 2 sub team to compete in the event. i am in team 1 together with kelvin, ah kit, MVP michael chun and our leader wai hoe kellaw.

the rule of the match is simple. which team managed to grab the flag back to their base win the match. if when u are hit, u must go back to ur base and touch the wall. only then u can continue playing. if u are hit while u are grabbing the flag, u must put down the flag at the place and go back to base.

for us paintball is the only event that decide whether we go home with a brand new CORBY or nothing at all because winner of paintball get 100 points! even second place get 50 points as well. so it will decide whether we are comeback king or not.

briefing

the warplace

we are prepared!

in first match our opponent is white team. in this match chun and i will be runner. while ah kit, kelvin and wai hoe will be sniper. runner job is to grab the flag while 3 of them try to hit the opponent and slow their pace as once u are hit, u must go back to the base.

 

in this match i was damn unlucky. unfortunately i get the wrong gun. the gun cannot FUNCTION at all! and i didnt realize it until the match started. so when i was trying to shoot the opponent, the pellets wont come out. i was scolding 'wtf wtf' during the match but i guess no one heard me. lol. so i raised up my hand and try to complain to marshal (referee) but my hand become target pulak. so bang bang bang! i was hit by opponent team as i was trying to complain. lol. they all focus shooting on me. but it is a good thing bacause that time chun grabbed the flag back to our base. so we won! woohoo!!!! we proceed to next round!

see the orange paint on my hair? it is just like matrix. jz pass through my head. 

while we were celebrating our victories, unfortunately our team 2 lost. so our team is the only hope for samsung corby.

in the second match our team opponent is orange team. we knew that no matter what we must win this match so that we have chance to go back with CORBY. cannot let orange team win. lol. so we entered with high spirit. as usual, chun and i will be runner and 3 of them will be sniper-shoot all opponent. lol. i tried to grab the flag back but suddenly i was hit. so i put the flag down. and chun grab the flag back and we won! woohoo~ we came out with our head held high. but in this match everyone got hit. and chun hurt his shoulder.

so we proceeded to final. in this round our opponent is orange team (why there are so many orange people?). in this match is very important for both our team. winner of this match can get 100 points, double the points of previously collected. so means that who win this match can go back with brand new CORBY!

in this match the marshal emphasized on the rule. he mentioned that we cannot take our face mask off. the most important thing is we must be HONEST. if u are hit then u must put down the flag and go back to the base before you play again. whoever break the rule will be DISQUALIFIED. (notice the caps? it means that it is very important)

we before the match. from left to right, ah kit, michael chun, kelvin, wai hoe and me

when the match started, everyone was busying firing the pellet to the opponent in the hope that pellet will hit the opponent. as usual, chun and i were trying to grab the flag. first i reached the flag pole and i grabbed it. but i was hit. and i put the flag down and go back to my base. after that opponent team grabbed their flag. although he/she was hit by us continuously he/she still ran back to the base. it is damn unfair! we put our flag down when we were hit but they ran back although they were hit!

we complained to the marshal about this and they told us that they will decide it. so we went back to surf deck and have our lunch. and we were praying for good news because apparently they are disqualified. and we need to rest because all the injuries on our body.

me with all the marks after the paintball game

 injuries on my body. 1st pic-right arm, 2nd pic-stomach , 3rd pic-left shoulder, 4th pic-right shoulder , 5th pic-left arm, 6th pic-my face. T_T

but the news is disappointing us. orange team still won the match and they go back with CORBY. as a consolation we went back with RM100 each. still not that bad. but when compare CORBY with RM100 definitely CORBY is better.

pic with the mock cheque. lol

although i didnt win a CORBY as i hoped, i am still thinking that this is one of the greatest and most fun event i ever joined. thanks nuffnang and samsung for the opportunity. =)
