Guess who’s 2010 FHM Girl Next Door?

-

IMG_2862a

I tell you, it’s crazy hard to get a good photograph during this event. First off, I was late on Friday because I had a shoot at Kruel’s office, that ended a little later than expected. Then there was dinner with the family, that started a little later than expected.

So by the time I reached MOS and checked in to the show, I get this huge group of people right in front of me. How to get good pics?

IMG_2750a

That time being almost 10pm, the first half was over, and I was just in time to hear one of the GNDs getting quizzed. I couldn’t believe my ears.

Rudy (Mix FM) : So, <insert GND’s name here>, if we pay a visit to your house, what would we see on your….clothesline?

GND : Umm….

Rudy : As in your Laundry. What would we see as your laundry.

GND : Oh, you will see things like…underwear. Bras (imagine GND using sexy sultry voice here)…bras with lace..panties…with lace..lots of sexy underwear..

Crowd : <Silence>

Rest assured, that this GND didn’t take home anything, let alone the GND title. Come on lah, why the sleazy response man? Why so Paris Hilton / Britney Spears? I thought that girls who gave these kinda answers were filtered out during the preliminaries?

But sorry lor I don’t have pics (and I won’t reveal which GND lah) later she hate me for life. Or she won’t support me if I ever were to join Cleo’s Most Eligible Bachelors contest. IF.

Because I came in right in the middle of the show, I didn’t have much of a clue to what was going on.

Lucky for me, the president of MACC stepped in on stage to address the public.IMG_2763a

If you’re not aware, MACC stands for NOT Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission. Instead, it stands for Malaysian Association of Chinese Comedians. Where the president, vice-president, secretary and only member is no other than our all-time favorite…

IMG_2804a

….Douglas Lim!

The last time I met this joker was in the Comedy Club KL last year with EGo, Michelle Lee, Kruel at Phuture Club at Zouk.

Comedy_Club_Zouk_23_thumb

He may be wearing just a T-shirt, blazer and jeans this time, but his humour knows no limits. Douglas keeps getting better! Oh, and the next time you meet him, make sure he sings you his Amber Chia version of James Blunt’s ‘You’re Beautiful’. You will laugh your ass off, this is my personal guarantee.

A pretty picture of the Men with Flowers.

IMG_2813a

And a loving picture of Rudy with FHM’s director, and another one who looks like he’s stopping his pants from falling down.

IMG_2814a

It’s interesting how they do the elimination of the contestants. From the 12 GNDs, groups of 3-4 were called out, then the judges decision were passed on to them. And these were the final 4 who were called out. One of these 4 girls will be crowned winner.

IMG_2832a

Now, take a look at these four girls.

IMG_2830a

Without the first picture of this post as a hint, can you tell who the winner is?

I tell you lah, if I’m a 5 year old kid also I can tell who. So damn obvious LOL. Before you keel me, I gotta say that I don’t mean the 3 girls are ugly or what. Just that my judgement of the winner, personality, and physical-wise (of course), really, really stands out.

So here’s our 2010 FHM Girl Next Door, Yvonne Sim for ya.

IMG_2862a IMG_2917a

Angelic face….

IMG_2264a

Devilish personality.

22149_255950797168_656277168_3285890_6847227_n

I know her hand looks like it’s holding something under my camera, but I assure you it’s not like what you think.

IMG_2291a

She’s sexy much, no?

I got to know Yvonne somewhere in June last year, and the moment I saw her during the Urbanattic Accoustic Showdown last year, I knew she was meant for something big.

Acc_Showdown_109

acc-showdown-139-thumbacc-showdown-143-thumb

Not the camwhoring la. That’s MY forte, not hers.

FHM GND ain’t something huge, but as far as the local scene is concerned, this is quite something, and probably the beginning of bigger things for Yvonne. I heard that she plans to get her studies done first though. Good on you girl! And congrats! *hugs*

GND 2010 logo_white_carlsberg

Also not forgetting the other contestants of the GND, who really went all out for this contest through catfights, harassing people to vote for them hard work and perseverance. Great work girls!

IMG_2934a

Also my heart goes out to Michelle Lee whom I know personally and worked pretty hard as well. You would’ve done great if not for Yvonne haha. Now you can go fight it out with her lol.

18844_274994600863_656970863_4451601_3076679_n

Just when I was about to leave, I was very much distracted by a dance happening right in front of me.

IMG_2949a

Oh yeah.

IMG_2961a

IMG_2954a

IMG_2968a

I know this post is getting quite female-oriented, with all that cleavage and up-skirt goodness, but for some reason that seemed to be the subject for the night.

IMG_3011a

Dwayne Foong.

IMG_3014a Lee Yvonne, Miss Malaysia Tourism Metropolitan 2009

Finally, it was time for Salsaaaaa!! Paradiso Kl was a chaotic scene wei….packed!

As noob as I was, I believe I made my salsa sifu proud haha. I gota watch more videos though..I know too few moves :/

IMG_3018a Me, Ling, Phoebe and Chloe. Ling is so cute la when we danced ahah.

My salsa sifu Jason. One day I will be like him. Without the wrinkles.

IMG_3023a

IMG_3025a

Someone in this pic has outdone me as the camwhore. Haha Tim beh tahan you la!

The night ended with a drive from KL to Damansara to pick up Psychkin from The Curve. I must’ve driven 150km that day itself wei.

So it’s no surprise that I was a couch potato…Complete Chilling for the whole weekend man. I never watched as much TV for the past 3 months as I did today. Feels awesome kekeke.

And tomorrow, more driving for me…to Seremban! Got a water project there…Fuh, I feel like hiring a driver liao lol.

Cheers!

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

Latest from Shanghai : Ching Pi Ling

-

IMG_1946 resized

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone!

I’m currently checked in to the Ryden hotel in Shanghai..been here since yesterday with EGo and David.

Makan + clubbing at Xin Tian Di last night was the bomb yo. Can you imagine 15-20 Chinese from 6 different countries, and all of a sudden you discover that almost all of them speak Cantonese?? Shiok sial!

IMG_1935 resized

IMG_1928 resized

Came back at 5, failed to wash up, failed to shower, failed to change clothes. The only thing I could manage was to take off my shoes, then crashed into bed. And I was in the exact same position when I woke up about an hour ago :D

IMG_1944 resized

These girls were pretty tight last night and pretty much slipped up when they wanted to buy ice cream. They went : ‘Wo yao Ching Pi Ling!’ LOL. Girls, it’s Ling Pi Ching, come on xD

Sei lor, so long didn’t blog, so many pending post. *reminds myself to update when I’m back at Wuxi*.

All photos props EGo’s 50D (but no time to watermark hehe). Thanks David, Ron, Xiao Hong Jie for making this possible. Charles, Chuntang, Sibird, wish you guys were here. I’m loving it babeh! Psychkin, when will you come here with me?

Cheers!
