In conjunction with Say Sorry Day yesterday, I produced a video clip featuring a number of personalities talking about what “sorry” means to them. I will be releasing four videos throughout the week. As part of my regular Monday morning video sharing, here is the first one featuring Former Bar...
Remember the two scary eyes in my previous blog post (link to the teaser post)? Well, if you’ve been around town, you’d know by now that those eyes belong to a PUMA. And it’s not just any PUMA, it’s the PUMA which represents Panasonic’s VIERA 3D Full HD Technology. Thing is, as scary as the [...]
I wanted to take the opportunity to wish all my fellow Malaysians here and abroad a very Happy 53rd Merdeka Day and to encourage everyone to participate in the #iheartmalaysia campaign. However, I got caught up all day yesterday – and all day today – trying to rally up support for the Twitter...
On Sept 5, 2010, take the opportunity to join many others in saying sorry to anyone who you may have wronged, offended or cause hurt to. A group of Malaysian organisations (and some individuals) have come together to declare it Say Sorry Day. I was informed of this initiative by Rev Sivin Kit, who I [...]
Every night, before I head to bed (and no matter how tired I am – or drunk), I will watch at least one episode of the sitcom Friends – although sometimes I fall asleep while watching it. I’m not sure whether it’s because I grew up with it but the show was such a big [...]
While I didn’t say much about it on Twitter on Monday, I was following the whole saga in Singapore involving food blogger Lady Iron Chef yesterday. I first read about it on Twitter. For those of you who missed it, here’s basically what happened. Singaporean food blogger Ladyironchef was accused...
I don’t mean to start Monday off on such a soppy note but I came by this video yesterday and thought that I just had to share it with you guys as part of my Monday videos tradition on this blog. I saw it thanks to a tweet from Charlie, who @mentioned me alongside a [...]
Many of you who have been following this blog, my Tweets or are even on my Facebook would probably know by now that my family wasn’t do the best in the past couple of weeks healthwise. Most of you who have read my updates would know that my dad was in the hospital for about [...]
I also wanna look like this guy. I mean, quite awesome right, the hair? But I can’t lah. Good thing I got to try out 10 different hair products from the “rebellious relaunch” of OSiS. If I can’t be a model with good hair, I sure as hell am going to attempt to do it. [...]
Some of you may know by now that the past few days have been pretty tiring and stressful with dad in the hospital, but he is better today and I thought this video was apt to share! It’s a nice start to a Monday and sets a great beautiful tone for the week ahead (butterflies [...]
Sorry for the lack of updates over the last couple of days – and there will be less over the next couple of days too I think. Got some family stuff to deal with but I’m thinking of you! But the video below is out and thought I’d share it with you guys. I got [...]
I’m not really a movie buff. But I think that’s more because I never find the time to actually go to the cinema to watch movies. I actually really enjoy movies! In fact, I often joke with my friends that I only ever watch movies when I’m on a date. Which means that I probably [...]
A couple of months ago, the National Cancer Society of Malaysia held a media launch to kick off its 2010 Power over Cervical Cancer campaign. This was before my trip (and in case you can’t tell, I’m trying hard to catch up on my blog posts). Anyway, some of you might remember that I was [...]
This post is wayyyyy overdue. In fact, I had even uploaded the pictures into my server to be shared with all of you before my Europe trip last month. Alas, due to commitments, I didn’t get much chance to actually post them up. These were taken during Projek Angkat Rumah, organised by independent...
Here’s another post from my now-not-so-recent trip to Jakarta. I know I usually update my Monday posts with a video, but, er, I thought I’d write this post instead. I was actually thinking about Jakarta a lot over the past couple of weeks, only because I’ve had some traffic incidences.
This afternoon, I will be talking at the Asian Bloggers and Social Media Conference in Berjaya Times Square. Below is my Prezi.com presentation that I will be using to assist me in my talk. I am posting this here first so that participants of the conference can view my Prezi during my session, or...
I came across this video a few days ago and laughed out loud so much at it. I know it’s not particularly new but if you haven’t watched it before, you’re in for a treat. I won’t spoil it for you but basically, Jimmy Kimmel introduced the Handsome Men’s Club during Oscar week in...
A few days ago, I got a call at work from a PR person asking me if R.AGE will be sending someone to cover a particular event. I didn’t remember seeing the invite so I asked him which email address he sent it to. He replied: Oh, we sent a fax (or something like that, [...]
I’ve got to be honest and say that I’ve barely read the newspapers in the last three weeks. Being in Europe for two weeks means that I don’t understand the language in major newspapers (and when I got to London, I only read the free copies of the Metro). In fact, first bit of news [...]
Two weeks ago, when I was in Poland, I attended the Education Leaders Forum at Warsaw’s Olympic Centre, which was held in conjunction with Microsoft’s Imagine Cup 2010 which I was there to cover. Truth be told, I didn’t pay much attention at the forum (bureaucratic speeches are...
