Well ladies and gents, I’m proud (and %^$&^%$&^ excited) to announce that @egooi and I will be at #WebcampKL tomorrow at Mindvalley, Menara UOA tomorrow at 6.30pm for a quick 10 minute pitch.

 

In 10 short minutes, I’m gonna uncover the project and try to gain a bunch of people who trust in us and our idea. Details of the event can be found on the FB page here. If you happen to pass the area at that time, I’d love you to come join us!

 

Also..my Kuching trip last weekend gave me something that’ll make my presentation more interesting : A BLOODY FLU.

 

By now, you’re curious about this startup, I’m gonna leave it as a mystery..but I’ll leave you a clue (that also happens to be Project #52 : Week #3’s pic). If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you’ll know what it is Winking smile

Project #52 : Week #2–Think before you RT

-

Better post this quickly before I forget and step into Week # 3.. I don’t wana degrade my already degraded Project # 52 to a mere Project # 12! xD

So here it is – Week #2’s pic plug:

IMG_4850My first time donating blood happened at SDMC last Saturday, when I read a tweet by @ChuaLeo about an Albert Lim urgently needing blood type A.

I’ve seen many many many of these tweets : ‘X needing Blood’, ‘Y seeking [insert organ]’ etc. The only thing I’ve not seen (yet) is ‘mother-to-be seeking sperm from healthy male, preferably with the looks of Johnny Depp’. Neither have I had any personal requests for my sperm..What a waste of the awesome specimen :D

As I watched my bluud race into the pint pack, I thought about this: what would one normally would do when getting a tweet like ChuaLeo’s? My guess is –> Click RT –> ‘OK’ –>  Forget. He / she won’t even remember the name of the receiver or blood type, or if his / her blood matched Alfred’s blood type.

We’ve all been conditioned to accept that RT-ing itself is a help to Alfred. But RTs can’t dissolve into blood. RTs just adds to Alfred’s chances of getting blood…but no guarantees. What I’m trying to say is..if you can physically help out, just do it :)

We later visited Alfred Lim in his ward and found out that he was just 2 years old, suffering from acute leukemia and needed not just blood, but also platelets for treatment. And get this..the whole (pediatrics) floor had mostly leukaemia patients…and they’re as young as 8 months. Scary!

What’s causing this could be.. Genes.. Environment.. or Baby milk from China. Nobody knows.

So the conclusion is:

Breast feed your kids until they’re sick of your damn nipples. (Scene from ‘Grown ups (2010)’)

Haha. Okay what I meant to say was…(back to responding to distress tweets above) : ‘Think before you RT, and take action (if you can)’.

You could save a life Smile

As much as I would like to post a dancing video of myself here, I must refrain. I’m a terrible dancer, seriously. I do salsa, however, but everytime I’m asked to dance, there’s ALWAYS no bloody salsa songs. And I can’t do any form of jiggling, b-boy, popping or locking.

But here’s a great video by @Bboyrice (http://bboyriceakajeremy.blogspot.com/).

 

 

 

I gotta say he’s pretty good that if I try out any of his moves, sure patah tulang wei.

 

Alternatively, here’s a video taken of me TRYING to dance at Bubba Gump 2 weeks ago…ON A CHAIR. Sure lah I won’t post here. Shy ok?
