A chance to win Fireflyz Tickets to Borneo!

-

 

I should have posted on this much earlier than now. But while I was away in Vietnam, for some reason, my blog wouldn’t load! Deprived wei.

Soooo, now we all know that Firefly is finally opening up its airways to Sabah & Sarawak.

 

 

..And most of us also know that there’s already some ticket giveaways happening on some of my kawan’s blogs:

http://jasonmumbles.com/2010/12/fly-to-kuching-and-kota-kinabalu-with-firefly

 

…And chances are if you check out those links now, it’ll be too late. The contest would’ve closed, there’ll be lesser tickets to be given away.

 

So this is where I come to the rescue. Because I procrastinated and posted this late, I actually became your last resort to pick up some tickets.. hah…!

 

Without further ado, here’s what you’ve gota do.

 

1.  Leave a comment on this post on at least 5 tips of awesome places to hangout in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu (any activity / food / babes / travel) that you know of. You might have to do some reading, and here’s a good place to start Winking smile

2.  Go to Firefly’s FB page and ‘Like’ it. It’s not compulsory but it’ll be great if you could.

3.  Follow @Firefly on Twitter if you would like to.

4.  You must follow @euveng (me!) on twitter, and make at least 100 of your friends do the same. I’m kidding haha. But it WILL be easier if you do follow me so you can see my tweet if you DO win Smile

 

And if you could ‘Like’ this post (bottom of page) or RT my tweet in addition to your comments, you are awesome. Winking smile

 

This week, 2 pairs of return tickets will be given away to the best answer, and winners go to either Sabah or Sarawak, depending on your answers (eg if you answered 5 places to hangout in Kota Kinabalu and yours is the best answer, you’ll get the Sabah tickets).

 

And as usual, here are several points to note:

  • Vouchers are valid for travel from 15th January 2011 till 24th January 2011.
  • Seats are limited and may not be available on all flights, public holidays, school breaks and weekends.
  • Booking must be made using the voucher at least 21 days before travel date and subject to confirmation.
  • Firefly’s staff and immediate family are not eligible for this contest.
    • Airfare is fully paid for except airport tax & other fees.

 

If lady luck’s with you, you could be headed to some sexeh holiday destination yo.

 

 

So wait no more, plug in your answers and you may be that lucky winner to be sent to Borneo!

Cheers!

Biotherm Race to Gain : Now I don’t have to shoot 50 Cent anymore.

-

 

 

Remember this banner ad that’s been popping up on random websites since year 2007?

Shoot-the-Rapper

 

The banner flash game that has Rapper 50 Cent walking up and down the red carpet, and where you’re the papparazzi who’s supposed to take ‘shots’ of him? The game that apparently causes blood to spurt out of ‘50 Cent’ with each successful click? And the one that apparently has $5,000 prize money up for grabs?

 

Shoot-the-Rappera

 

Well 50 Cent don’t gotta worry no more and can keep rockin ‘In da Club’ without getting over-clicked on his head because there is now a new game in town!

 

(Ooo, I can finally stop playing this game and accept the fact that there actually is no $5000 to be won. Or are the 5 free ringtones still valid? Umm..)

 

So, here you are, the new gila-clicker game, called Race to Gain.

image

It’s on Facebook by the way. What, not surprising what. Only ahpek like me don’t play games on FB but everyone else does wor.. Check it out here.

 

What got me really curious was that it’s a Biotherm Homme-inspired game. Biotherm and racing? Hmm. Click only.

 

image

This is getting more interesting by the click! My eyes went from –__- to $_$! Just..see this.

prizemoney5k

 

50 Cent I dont need to shoot you anymore!!

 

IMG_6207a

 

Finally, something bloody worth clicking.

 

I use just my spacebar and nothing else. Tarak pakai otak pun. Sometimes I wonder..why do these sponsors distribute cash like this…but really, I shouldn’t be complaining. I never complain about winning stuff :D Thumbs up to Biotherm Homme for trying out new media like this.

 

And here’s a snippit of how part of the game runs. I’m not gona spoil the fun for you, so you should check out the game here for yourself.

 

image

Especially when you’ve just had your lunch break and don’t feel like doing shit for work, this is perfect.

 

It took me 5 seconds to find out how the game works, and 15-20 seconds per round for 3 rounds. Based on the F1 season as its theme, this makes it pretty fun. Everyone knows about Biotherm’s quality products…it’s pretty high up on the price scale, so it’s DEFINITELY worth a try to win back some awesome stuff.

 

I’m so gonna try win some of those Biotherm products lor. I’ve been wanting see how my muka-tak-maintain reacts to it…Hence, I hereby surrender myself to devote full attention to playing this game hard (and gaining back something from it lol).

 

Click here to let the games begin. And win great products or tickets to the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix that’s just around the corner!

 

Update : apparently SmashpOp’s also into this game..check it out here.

 

Update #2 : My latest scores. quite fail lor. hmm…

Alamanda Putrajaya Re-discovered by Bloggers!

-

Last Friday, I discovered a place that has….

1. Rock Climbing IMG_9172a

2. Watersports

4194740727_45d09dcd30_o

3. A Shopping Complex

4. A GSC Cinema

IMG_9509a

5. A 5 star hotel

IMG_9305a

with 5 star service (not the type that you’re thinking)

IMG_9342a

6. And the best part is, this place gives away a Free Trip to Bali for 5D / 4N at a 4-Star hotel.

IMG_9531a

That’s right people, this place is no other than Alamanda Putrajaya!

IMG_8981a

I had a smashing time wei!

Surprised? I was no less taken aback myself when I was invited by Advertlets, courtesy of Alamanda, that there would be a special blogger outing, From 8am morning to 10pm some more. Alamanda so many things to do meh?

Turns out, there really was THAT much to do.

But given that Psychkin and I live just 15 minutes from Putrajaya, we had no choice but to sleep an EXTRA HOUR while the other bloggers gathered at 1 Utama at 8am. Only at 9am did I leave my house..and we was still earlier than the rest. Buahaha,

Breakfast at Oldtown with Coffee was a very welcome sight. Especially for those who had to wake up extra early to catch the 1 Utama bus i.e. almost everyone.

IMG_8925a

Rames playing with his new 30mm F1.4mm lens and some tea-dripping action. You should’ve seen his face when he caught the tea falling off the spoon. Almost like he struck lottery lol.

IMG_8936a

And this is probably the bestest best deal of all. A teaser of what we would receive at the end of the day.

IMG_8947a

And to qualify for this, we had to work hard to Play, Rock Climb, Camho, Wakeboard and Watch Movie. Not something I would complain about, really.

Some goodie bags to start off the day. Dunkin Donuts and Cold Storage are cool people.

IMG_8962a

Bboyrice, Jason Mynjayz, Rames and Psychkin can’t wait to Camho.

IMG_8951a

And so does Bimbo Shopaholic Smashpop.

IMG_8971a

I came to Alamanda before about 3 years back, and to be honest, I had low regards for the place. It felt congested, underutilized, unorganized.

Much to my surprise, a whole lot has changed. Brands like Valentino, Nose, Clarks, and surf brands like Quiksilver and Billabong pretty much fill up the lots of the complex.

IMG_9020a

8TV host Belinda checks out Quiksilver…

IMG_8925a

…while I check out a mannequin’s boobies at Billabong. Nice…suit.

IMG_9009a

New Camho Face, designed by Howard U. I cannot make it laaaaaa

IMG_8977a

Pandaaaa* on the way to Putrajaya Challenge Park for Rock Climbing. This girl couldn’t wait to get her hands dirty!

IMG_9028a

And she got pretty much what she wanted with a piece of her shoulder taken off during the climbing process. Failllll ahahahahaha.

IMG_9176a

There’s always one thing about rock climbing that is very important The Crotch-Adjustment session.

This is Mr Trainer checking to see if my crotch is safe and well protected.

IMG_9145a

Securing crotch for Leowazza and Superwilson.

IMG_9096aIMG_9100a

Serious face of the day. Rames deep in thought on how to scale those walls.

IMG_9079a

And while Bel, me and Psychkin do our share of climbing…

IMG_9116aIMG_9147aIMG_9123a

….Rames and Leowazza decided to have their private agenda that involves hands-on and some pushing action. Aiyer so Bromantic leh.

IMG_9160a

We played and played until we were very happy.

IMG_9153a

And when we got hungry, lunch was served at their P’s Cafe! Shiok.

IMG_9213aIMG_9267a

It was one of those moments when I suddenly feel like dropping to my knees on the ground and dedicate to the sky: ‘Thank you for making me a Blogger!’ Even my chargeable Orange Jus became FOC on my request. Tumpang glamer.

Group Shot! of 1/2 JonYKT, SimonSo, RebeccaSaw, Jason Smashpop, Josh.my, BryanLyt, BangsarBabe, me, FatJason lol.

IMG_9237a

It’s me and the Pandaaa*

IMG_9307a

…and Pandaaa*s kicks. Caught my eye instantly.

IMG_9060a

Hotel Pullman was a (surprisingly) busy hotel, with also surprisingly affordable rates for a 5-star hotel.

IMG_9201a IMG_9281a

Surprised yet? There’s really this kind of bustling activity at Putrajaya!

This is one of the hotel rooms which they opened for our tour. I know it looks a bit like a porn-film set-up, but it’s not lah. I just wanted to know how many people could cram into this room. Quite big lol.

IMG_9339aIMG_9342a

The gym comes complete with posers as well.

IMG_9316a IMG_9328a IMG_9330a

But the best was yet to come.

This was the training session before…

IMG_9424a

IMG_9458a

…Wakeboarding! Where everyone has to pass the Ultimate test: The Pangsai Test.

IMG_9446aIMG_9449aIMG_9450aIMG_9451a IMG_9453a

Whose style do you like the best? :D

Okay lah. It’s the mini-training session on how to work the wakeboard. Haha.

IMG_9438a

Sad lor, many ppl including myself didn’t get to try it due to time shortage and looming clouds. But Psychkin and me and one girl in between us got to try out the Tube-thingy. Oh yeah we got wet pretty much. Compared to some other bloggers hiding in the shade *ahemSmashpopRamesBboyriceJasonOngJonYktBryanLytahem*

And just when everyone was hungry, Manhattan Fish Market had some stuff for our munching-ness.

A whole plate LOADED with Calamari Rings. My all time fav nom nom nom.IMG_9482a

IMG_9476a

With a whole lot of vouchers from Focus Point and Chakri Xpress. Wah overload leh.

IMG_9490a

It’s me and the Hogan!

IMG_9497a

The perfect ending to a physically-draining day would be no other than…

A free movie! Ow!

IMG_9511a

And not of any show, but of Avatar.

avatar-poster-401x600

I have a great many things to say about this show, but I’ll put it in two words:

EPIC AWESOMENESS.

Storyline is completely smashing, and something in its own beautiful dimensional word, made me watch it over, and over again. The 2D version twice, and last night, the 3D version.

avatar4

The CG and FX of this show are totally realistic in its own fictional way. The character modelling, physical movements, expressions, gravitational effects are so effin good that if the Na-vi weren’t blue, they would pass as real humans.

Because of this show, Sam Worthington would probably be the next big thing around. In Terminator Salvation, he as Marcus Wright already was the hero, outshining our Christian Bale (again, he was outshone by the Joker in The Dark Knight).

sam-worthington-avatar

And Michelle Rodriguez, was so, so hot, as usual. Loves.

avatar-michelle-rodriguez

Group pic after movie!

IMG_9514a

I know this has been pretty much to read already, but this is what happens when you have fun the whole day LOL.

Because this part, you shouldn’t miss!

Josh.my handing out travel vouchers to bloggers for the Bali / Phuket vacation after the whole day of impatient waiting and doing other unnecessary stuff to very very happy bloggers. Oh yeaaaaaaaah.

IMG_9529aIMG_9531a

And the best part for everyone is that this ain’t something special for bloggers. ANYONE who shops a minimum of RM800 at Alamanda will get this Holiday Voucher. Guaranteed.

So those of you who got married this month, like those who made me less by a couple of hundred bucks for angpau, are thinking of where to go for your honeymoon. This could be it.

IMG_8925a

Go check out Alamanda today. It’s worth it.

And here’s a little bit of good news.

I discovered only today when I unpacked my goodie bags, this bundle in a plastic bag. In wake of my excitement after the Alamanda day (about 6 days ago), I forgot to take out my very Very Wet Alamanda T-Shirt which I used to dry myself after Wakeboarding.

IMG_9545a

Since it’s the Xmas season, I’m giving this away to the lucky selected blogger who leaves a comment here. It’s a little smelly, but hey, it smells like me and that’s really cool.

Any takers?Limited edition okaaaay :D
