An Interesting Lucky Draw Win

0

I won a lucky draw but it’s an interesting one!

You see, when I filled up petrol for my car at a nearby Petronas station, this very friendly attendant helped me out by filling it out for me and teaching me how to use the card to pay for it (I usually would ask them to do it). After talking he told me they’re having a lucky draw and since I filled up full tank, I was eligible to get two stamps. I’d need 3 stamps to enter. It was not until the 2nd last day before I submitted. By that time, the box was so full that I had a hard time pushing my lucky draw paper in.. I think there must’ve been thousands of entries in there.

Boy was I surprised when I got a call last Saturday saying that I’m a lucky winner. They picked 42 winners from the box, and they will do an event where they’ll draw names to determine which prize we will win. All I wanted was the free food, haha.

The ceremony started at 11 am at the Petronas station, just outside of its mini mart. I was surprised when I reached there.

I didn’t realize when I entered (because I didn’t think I’d win anyway) that all prizes were TOYS. Hahahaha. TOYS! For babies and toddlers! OMG. I was like WTF.

They started the lucky draw and I was praying I don’t win the shitty prizes like tiny school bags meant for toddlers. They were a lot of school bags as the bottom prizes. I was eyeing on the hello kitty or at least that Tiger plushie… at least they’re cute and I can use it. Unfortunately I didn’t get the plushies! I was soooo close though! I had the 16th prize and the hello kitty was for 13th place and Tiger was for 10th. I also wouldn’t mind the 3rd prize which was a remote controller dinosaur figure. OR THE BARBIES! Well not really barbies.. all of the prizes were all cheap China knockoffs. The first prize was an imitation of Transformers robot. Or even the keyboard would’ve been useful and not so embarrassing.

Here are some of the top 10 winners. See that McDonald’s behind there? The exact location where I had an accident. Urgh. Hurt to see it.

Many left early and didn’t even eat the food.. so more for me!

But a lot of people attended.

The best highlight was definitely the food! I’m not a fan of fried noodle but seriously, it was the best and the most damn delicious fried noodle I’ve ever tasted. So yummy that I had 1 1/2 plate, and took home a plate full because they were so much leftover. The ‘kuih’ (or snacks) were delicious too! Too bad they just served plain water because it was a hot day, so I was very thirsty. Wish there was cold drink.

DELICIOUS!

Then I went home and opened the prize.

Here’s what I won. A cheap china-made playhouse meant for babies.. Hahahahaha. It was quite embarrassing to win this.. and it’s very useless since I don’t even have a baby. Don’t know anyone with babies either. But you know what?

It’s actually very cute! It’s like a cute tent that even I can hide in. Haha. I decided to see if my cats would like this as their playhouse and you know what?

They do! A LOT. They wouldn’t stop playing with it and playing inside it. It’s like their little hideout. My 3 outdoor cats are the ones that loves it so much. They like to play and wrestle in it. But Orenji loves it the most. He sleeps in it. He’s practically in the tent everytime he’s inside the house.

Well that’s the end of my interesting lucky draw ever. I had another lucky draw that I won last year that I have yet to write about. I’ll try to find some time to write it. I feel kinda cold now.. would be nice to have a heated blanket. Toodles.

Reminiscing 2011 Part 1

6

Wow this is so gonna be a long entry. I’m gonna try to remember any memorable events or things that happened this whole year because honestly I feel that this year went by so friggin fast. It was like within a blink of my eyes. Also a lot of things happened that I didn’t blog about so I’m hoping this would sort of summarize my year as well as preserving any events that happened this year. Yes, I do check back old blog posts for memory sake.

I think I will separate this blog into a few parts. The year started out pretty good.. was hoping this would be my awesome year.. failed at that. At least I had an okay start compared to an extremely disastrous ending for year 2010. Okay, let’s start!

A Whole Day of Learning

0

I woke up early tonight and I can’t go back to sleep. I have so much things to do today. I’m thinking of straightening my hair and cutting it a bit today. We’ll see. Not sure what to do now – maybe blog a bit then play Second Life for a while then watch tv. I don’t know.

Looking for watches? Citizen watches.

Yesterday I went to a training lecture at YMCA Ipoh to learn new products for my new part time job as financial/wealth adviser. I was trying to absorb so much in one day of things I barely knew about and after having only an hour sleep. I was like a zombie for the whole day. However the ‘lecturer’ was so hilarious that I managed to sit through everything without falling asleep. He was absolutely hilarious. The best part? The food. We had tea break at 10.20 am with fried vermicelli, and some chiffon cakes and tea, then lunch break at 12.30 pm with rice, chicken, veggies and egg curry then another tea break at 3 pm with fried spring roll and some dessert/snack. I didn’t take any pictures because I didn’t think there was anything interesting about it.

I’ve been depressed the day before. I was feeling very emo and very lonely. I started to play with Second Life a bit and had forgotten how much just wandering around in the 3D world, shopping for clothes and hair could make me forget my depression and to just kill time. I had forgotten it was my temporary ‘cure’ during my breakup years ago. Second Life has changed so much now though and it’s like a strange world compared to the small, friendly world back in 2007 but oh well.

Alright now I’m gonna watch Flatliners. Last time I watched this was when I was 11.. didn’t get a thing about this movie except that some med students tried to experience life after death. I think I fell asleep too back then and thought this was a boring movie because I don’t remember much about this movie. Great casts in this movie. All the big names – Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Back, William Baldwin – all looking damn hot and also the gorgeous Julia Roberts.

Minggu Saham Amanah (MSAM) 2011 PART 2

4

I wanted to post this part two last week but so much things happening that I had to delay.

Read PART 1 of this post

I didn’t wanna go on the last day of MSAM but I wanted to register for something so I had to and went in the morning. I met with the people I promised to meet and I just sat there from 1 pm till 2.30 pm just chatting. They blocked one side of the road already since the deputy prime minister and education minister, Tan Sri Dato’Haji Muhyiddin Yassin will be coming for the closing.

The Royal Wedding 2011: Prince William & Kate Middleton

0

THE LIVE & REAL FAIRYTALE…..

That’s what I thought of it.

 

 

I didn’t care much before this but of course I didn’t wanna miss the wedding yesterday. I did however miss the after-wedding stuff. I only watched the part in the church and after that, because of all the ‘talk’ and the choir that sounded like a lullaby, I couldn’t keep my eyes opened anymore so I fell asleep only to wake up at 11 pm, exactly the time they finished broadcasting.

It was a traditional wedding.. boring but beautiful.

 

 

Kate was very simple. Her wedding gown was very simple to my surprise. Her hairdo was simple, her makeup was simple, everything was simple.. because you know, other celebrities had it grand. This wedding was very traditional.

 

 

I don’t know why but the wedding almost made me teary-eyed! Actually some of my friends in twitter also said the same thing – they cried. I guess I felt happy for Kate for having her own fairytale happening.

 

 

One thing that annoyed me the most – WHAT’S UP WITH PRINCE WILLIAM’S HEAD?!?!

Seriously. He used to be sooooo handsome, soooo hot… but now why is he BALDING?! He’s only 29 :( It annoys me to death… some people were making fun of it on twitter – saying he should use a hair treatment program. But seriously, he was the man of every girl’s dream. He was a very cute kid who grew into a handsome man… but now he looks very old due to the bald patch on his head :(

But Kate’s dress was so tight that she looks very skinny. I’m so jealous :(

 

 

It’s a pity that the late Lady Di didn’t get to witness her first son’s wedding. I still adore her. She was one of the most beautiful women of all time. It’s so sad that she had to go early.

 

 

I didn’t stay for the kiss but I did watch the clip on youtube. Awwwwwww. So sweet! But it was a very short kiss, not passionate one. Maybe they were shy :P *sighs* Kate Middleton is the luckiest girl in the world seeing that she was not from a royal family but married the popular royal bachelor. Now, does Prince Harry has a gf??? Maybe I still stand a chance *chokes*… At the time I’m writing this, youtube is rebroadcasting the wedding.. not watching it because it was quite boring lol

 

 

CONGRATULATIONS PRINCE WILLIAM & KATE MIDDLETON, THE DUKE & DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE!

Can’t wait to hear the news of their first child :D

Are you looking for scanner software by any chance?

Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia (MSAM) 2011 PART 1

5

UPDATE: Read PART 2!

I have finally made posting blog much more easier now so expect old posts that I’ve been delaying coming up soon. More on this soon but right now I wanna talk about an event we had for the past 1 week here in Ipoh.

It is called “Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia (MSAM) 2011” that was held at Kompleks Sukan Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh (MBI) from 20th April until 26th April 2011. In English, it’s an event involving stocks, mutual funds and everything relating to investments. The event was organized by “Permodalan Nasional Berhad’ or PNB. PNB is one of Malaysia’s leading asset managers.

This event was huge. It’s unfortunate that it lasted for only a week. I noticed they built the tent thing for more than 2 weeks… all that hard work for only a week’s worth of event. Wow. But it’s not all just about banks, investments and asset management. There were other exhibitors too including cars, government bodies, and other companies, even food.

This is PART 1. PART 2 will be up tomorrow I hope.

Be warned: PICTURE HEAVY!

My Birthday

4

It’s still my birthday in some parts of the world so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.

There was nothing special on my birthday. I woke up, went out with mom, bought stuff for my cats, met this interesting talkative and friendly girl at the bank, and ordered Domino’s pizza as birthday dinner and invited my uncle to come. I did receive quite a number of birthday wishes compared to last year so I’m happy :) Thank you for all the birthday wishes. I didn’t wanna really celebrate because it would just remind me that I’m getting old. Before I know it, I’m gonna be in my 30s, then 40s, then 50s.. and if I’m lucky enough 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s… (lol). I hate getting old. Getting old means your priorities change, you can’t have much fun, you stress all the time, your health will go bad, your young/good looks disappear, hair turn grey, eyesight go bad..wrinkly skin… ick. Would need anti wrinkle cream now.

I haven’t posted a blog post for about 10 days now and there’s a lot I need to blog about. I keep saying I’m gonna post them but I never got around to it. Well I’ll try to post more today. Well I’m gonna watch Glee’s Rocky Horror episode which is showing on TV right now then I’ll go to bed. Before I go, guess what?

I have Windows 7 on my iMac now! Yay. Finally. t3h aw3som3n3ss.

I wanted to install it ages ago but I keep hesitating but now I’m glad I finally did it. I can play windows games now. Civilization V is so much better and smoother now :D

Spain

¡Viva España! FIFA World Cup 2010

4

I wanted to blog this sooner but I fucked my sleeping pattern so I’ve been tired but YEAAAAAAAHHHH! Spain won the World Cup 2010! It’s still fresh news right?

It’s weird to care about it. I wasn’t into the world cup earlier. The last time when I was really into world cup was in 2002 when Brazil won. I was supporting Brazil all the way, and I had my online friend to talk to about the world cup so it kept me interested..

The only picture of me during FIFA world cup 2002 that I
could find at internet wayback machine. I’m not sure
if I still have my old webcam pictures… :(

…but 4 years after that, I was in Japanese school, didn’t really care. My Japanese school life was killing me. Now for this year, I didn’t care UNTIL the match between Germany & Argentina. Usually I’d just check out the score the next day. I was shocked that Brazil lost! That day I hung out with my friend, and somehow she texted me about the game after, and I started to watch it.. luckily local tv was showing it live. Then I got more and more interested because I had someone to talk to about it.. and kept my interest going. Unfortunately, the next match on that day between Spain & Paraguay wasn’t shown live here, so I was texting with my friend to keep me updated with the score. At that time, I still didn’t have my internet.

Celcom, my cellphone telco, had this limited edition world cup
bear and it was only RM10! So I went and grabbed my ‘Bearzil’
even though that morning, Brazil lost. :(

Argentina vs Germany – I was rooting for Argentina! My friend too.. but when Germany kicked their ass like no other, we were shocked, and pissed O_O Then Spain won, so that’s something good. I hated Germany for kicking Argentina’s ass.

Germany vs Spain – This was shocking! Haha and it was so much fun. A lot of people were rooting for Germany, and some were sure Germany would win. Yes, there has been predictions on Spain but come on, Germany kicked Argentina’s ass with 4-0 score.. so it’s not impossible they could kick Spain’s ass…luckily they couldn’t! Haha! :D I was so happy Spain made it to the final! Nobody cared about the match between Germany & Uruguay… I mean like, whatever right? Don’t really care who won.. but Germany did so whatever lol.

The Final Match: Netherlands vs Spain

Oh God, it was the most intense match I have ever seen! The match was aired at 2.30 am Malaysia time, so I was screaming and shouting in the middle of the night… it was nerve-wrecking when  no team has scored and they had to add extra time! And it was even shocking how the Dutch played the game! They played it dirty.. they played it rough.. they lost their integrity. Seems like they don’t want to be respected for playing good, but just want the damn cup. The most shocking part was the super kung fu/karate/ninja kick to Alfonso’s chest by De Jong!

That was just super brutal, dude! The worst tackle ever. Poor Alfonso. If it was a kick to the knee or ankle, that’s normal.. but the CHEST?! He’s lucky that he’s still breathing. He might be suffering a broken rib though. What pisses everyone off is that, the stupid fucking referee only gave De Jong a YELLOW CARD? That should have been a damn RED CARD! Shame on you, De Jong. This match was also the only match that I’ve seen with so many yellow cards given! 14 yellow cards! And 1 red card. It was so annoying that every few minutes, there’d be something happening… either Holland played rough or Spain made a bad tackle.


Haiyaaaah!!! Feel my super kick of furrrryyyy Alfonso-san!!!

PAUL THE PSYCHIC OCTOPUS

Haha I’m sure you’ve heard of him… the psychic German octopus!

Even though I’m not supposed to believe all this psychic mambo jumbo.. but I can’t help but be amazed that out of 8 matches (7 involving Germany, and one for the final), he got all 8 predictions right! He even predicted that Spain would win the cup, but after almost 2 1/2 hours of no goal, I was starting to doubt Paul until few minutes before extra time ends, and Iniesta scored a goal! I was like omg Paul was right hahaha. If I had bet a lot of money on Spain, I’d be rich by now! So to honor Paul and his super psychic power & prediction /sarcasm, I promised not to eat octopus for a month haha.

Now I know why people with heart attack are not recommended to watch world cup … at least not alone. I nearly got a heart attack every time they tried to score a goal but the ball ended up outside..so close, soooo damn close.

Well world cup is over, I need to get back my normal sleeping pattern. Let’s see if I can still gain interest in the next FIFA WC in 2014.. it’s gonna be held in Brazil so I hope Brazil will win!

Pregnant? Get your prenatal vitamins.

Glee Kuala Lumpur Malaysia Flash Mob @ The Garden (#GleeKL)

1

It was AWESOME-NESS!!!!!!!!!

Haha!

OMG ADRENALINE RUSH!

Be prepared… soon to be LONG entry with videos & pictures!

EDIT// We were on the news!


(I’m somewhere behind a guy =___=)

Okay, it was a bit obvious because there were loads, I mean LAODS of people joining in at the last minute.. it was kinda obvious.. plus everyone has been taking pictures with the Glee sign, some dressed up, some with big cameras.. so we screwed up a bit with the random spontaneous flash mob part.. but hey, we had a BLAST and everyone enjoyed it!

The mob was held at The Garden. Everybody thought it’d be at Midvalley. We all met up at the ballroom, and was given number. This would separate us into groups. I reached there at about12.20 pm and I was put in 2B.. which would be for 2nd floor.. aww too bad I wanted to be near the kids lol. Anyways, we waited with our group and around 12.45 pm or so we walked to Midvalley and waited there. Then we walked back to the secret location… and my group was near the bridge.. and EVERYONE, I mean EVERYONE was leaning against the railing/bridge etc looking down! Talk about being too obvious! Hahaha.. it’s so funny when passerby started to look down wondering what the hell is hudreds of people looking at and there’s actually nothing???….yet. Busted.

Suddenly the music started at around 2-ish pm and that was it! SHOWTIME!

Everybody was dancing like there’s no tomorrow! So much fun! Couldn’t see the kids though because there was too many people that we were spread along the bridges.. so I just kept dancing to the end. Then after it’s done.. some people forgot to disperse naturally.. everybody was rushing down, taking pictures and stuff.. of course tv people was there covering the event. Then after a while, suddenly the music starts again! wtf. I was queuing up to do the promo thing. Then everybody started screaming and dancing again.. an encore! Haha only in Malaysia’s flash mob :P 2nd round because Glee is just too much fun.. so it was just a random spontaneous dance … and everybody was just like dancing like mad. Then everybody was screaming “WE WANT MORE!! WE WANT MORE!!” Hahaha… too bad, had to end. Then pics and stuff.


(I’m at the left side, behind checkered shirt girl, picture credit Shafik Ismail)
WE WATCH GLEE ON STAR WORLDDDDDDDD!!!!!!

I felt like a temporary celebrity! Except no one asked for my autograph. Shucks.

It was so hot, I was so sweating. And I also made a new friend! Finally broke out of my antisocial awkward phase. After that went to buy food with my new friend then we went back home. And I took a nap because I only had an hour sleep. Too excited okay!

Overall, it was a MAJOR fun event! Reconnecting Glee fans in Malaysia, expressing our love for Glee! I can’t wait until they show the TV version on Star World this Wednesday before the new season of Glee starts. Thank you Random Alphabet for this opportunity!! This has been the my highlight of the year and I’ve never had this much fun in ages.. since I absolutely love dancing!

Some people might think, after watching 1 video with the kids video and quickly assume that it’s a failed flash mob.. well we were spread out silly! You only see one part of it!

Check out twitter with the hashtag #GleeKL (do a search), everyone’s buzzing! Still waiting for pictures to post.

I found this picture in RA’s facebook. Wtf the angle makes me look like I’m obese haha (but I’m not that fat ok!) but oh God, I look like I was in a super Gleek hyper mode! Actually I was just doing the L sign because everyone was doing it.. that’s my new friend beside me who was probably watching me in disbelief or laughing at me for being a camwhore.. or a diva? o___O;;;? Nah…….!

This entry will be updated constantly with pictures and videos that I’ve found online. And I will write about my first flashmob experience very soon so come back to this entry again! But to start, here’s a video someone uploaded, which is a promo for Astro’s Star World TV (Asia’s channel that airs Glee) and this was my group’s shot! Haha. Can you spot me???

Finally found a video with the bridge view.. can see myself dancing! (I’m next to a striped shirt guy, with white sling back) Can you spot me??

This is the ‘encore’ part, where we did a 2nd round! Haha, I don’t think that’s been done before?? Usually after a flash mob people would just disperse and that’s it.. but I guess this is Malaysian style? ENCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The encore part was the most fun! I was somewhere at the back in the video, but you can’t see me.. but it was hella fun, because that was not planned, and it was spontaneous fun..!

EDIT// OMG Can’t keep up. So many new videos and photos emerged! And most of us are still NOT OVER #GleeKL yet! Everybody misses it including me and watching all the mob videos posted on youtube brings back tears.. it was THE BEST DAMN EXPERIENCE

For a complete listing of videos & photos posted, visit Dkevo‘s post.. thank you DKevo for all the hard work of compiling EVERYTHING! It’s awesome!

Click for a bigger picture.. I’m behind/next to a guy with a Malaysian flag hat.. you can’t miss him.

EDIT 5/11 – The Star Online (newspaper) has uploaded their news coverage on the flash mob.. ! And full story about the flash mob will be in NST this Wednesday!
