Yesterday I managed to meet WongFu Productions, Philip Wang and Wesley Chan at the Press Conference which was held at Fullhouse, Sunway Giza. Sadly Ted Fu was not there due to personal issues. I am currently compiling all the videos and hopefully the video interview with Phil and Wes will be out in the next few days. For now, I shall just show you guys a few pictures from yesterday.

Lastly, if you still have not gotten your tickets to see WongFu Productions at Taylor’s Lakeside, you can do so today as booth opens at 12pm! First come first serve. See you all there. WongFu 4 Lyfe!

P/S: I heard they will also be selling their awkward turtle plush today!

It is the Chinese New Year season, I couldn’t help myself by joining the Petronas Chinese New Year Photography contest. In my last blogpost, I mentioned that anyone can enter and you can post any photo what fits the idea of Reimagining energy . There are six categories and you may submit as many photos as you like in more than one category. In this blogpost I will be talking about my photo submission and the theme “Reimagining energy”.

“Reimagining energy” simply means preserving an energy. Chinese New Year is a celebration about being together with close ones as well as having fun during the festive season. Energy is often filled in the air due to happiness and laughter from one another. As a human we observe and occasionally try to preserve the energy using our minds. As years goes by, the energy somehow depreciate over time. Photos are the most ideal representation of idea as it helps one to constantly put their mind at work and put ourselves in the situation seen.

The reason I chose this picture is because felt the happiness can be seen through everyone’s facial expression. The Lou Yee Sang symbolizes abundance, prosperity and vigor and tossing of the ingredients can be done by everyone of all ages. The Yee Sang creates a bond as everyone at the table is together to saying various auspicious wishes while tossing it.

Well, it is still Chinese New Year and if you have not gotten any angpao’s yet, remember to join the Petronas Chinese New Year Photography Contest as the contest. The contest runs until 12th February. You might just bring back those angpao’s that Petronas is giving away and your photo being exhibited at GALERI PETRONAS. More details can be found at their facebook page.

I felt this year the commercial was very well done. Is about a lady working very hard in England and receiving an angpao at the end of the video. I like how Petronas emphasized the message of being grateful despite all the things happening their life . In this video, Petronas did not use any sad scene to deliver their message to their audience as it is something different compared to the ordinary.

Last Tuesday during the launch, Datuk Mohammad Medan Abdullah, Senior General Manager of Group Corporate Affair Division of Petronas had shared his thoughts on the TVC ad and also had launched their latest “Reimagining Energy” photography contest.

“Energy is everywhere, in everything we do, and especially at this time. It could be the excitement and the bonding during the reunion dinner, or it could be the hustle and bustle of shopping for and decorating the home. It could even be a portrait of the wise grandfather of the family, or a picture of the lanterns that light up our cities,” explained Dato Mohammad Medan.

Petronas also had a session of “Lou Yee Sang” as a symbol of auspicious for the chinese  followed by  the World’s best lion dance and dragon dance federation, the Kun Seng Keng group was there to close the whole event with a bang!

Also to make this Chinese New Year all the more interesting, Petronas is collaborating with Leica Camera AG to have a photography contest open to all! With the theme “Reimagining Energy”, anyone can submit their photo via Petronas facebook page and you stand a chance to win great prizes! Photos of selected winners will also be displayed at Galeri PETRONAS

Only bloggers with blogs more than 6 months old, which are currently serving Advertlets ads are eligible for this discount.

Inside the package: Laptop Skin & Instruction manuals.

In this blogpost, I will be teaching you how to apply the Laptop Skin with only 4 simple steps. On the instruction manual, they have written 9 steps and I didn’t follow 5 of the steps.

First you need a scissors/blade and a ruler +pencil.

Measured your laptop skin to your laptop size using the ruler and draw a line on the grid which can be found at the back of the skin. The grid is there to make things easier. So if you dont have a crafty hand like me, you can still cut it perfectly.

Next is pasting the skin. What makes it easier, Hydraskins skin allow you to apply it without having to worry about air bubbles. When it comes to pasting this kind of thing, I usually do not have much confidence. When I pasted this skin, I managed to put it perfectly without any air bubbles at first try. Pretty amazing huh?

If you face any bubbles, just peel the skin from your laptop and put it back again. Then use a cloth and start rubbing from left to right in a zigzag motion. There shouldn’t be any bubble left under your skin.

And you are done!

My laptop is now ready to go on the Apollo 18 mission this coming 8th of September.

Be sure to check the movie out. For those who does not know what the movie is about, it is basically a story of an abandoned Apollo 18 mission, where two American astronauts were sent on a secret expedition and the reason why they never gone back to the moon. Watch the trailer below and tell me what you think!

The Malaysian spread itself, which include delicacies from Malay, Chinese and Indian was mind blowing. If that is not enough, there are also hawker food varieties like char kway teow, popiah, rojak, chicken rice, satay and many more. For those who want some touch on international cousine, there roast lamb, fresh seafood, Japanese sashimi, tempuras and middle eastern cousine like kebabs are also available.

To be honest, I didnt get to try most of the dishes. Listing the spread in this post if going to be crazy. I have only listed a few dishes above and we are not anywhere neat to listing the dessert yet. The Malaysian section of the buffet already impressed me and with other sections waiting for me that night, I have nothing more to say.

Their buffet dinner is from 6.30pm to 10.30pm

RM108++ per adult
RM54++ per child (Aged 4 – 12 years)

Since Otak-Otak place is about Otak-Otak, there are 14 different varieties of otak-otak dishes. That means more reasons to dine there to fullfill your Otak-Otak addiction. Not only that Otak-Otak place serves 32 varieties of different local delicacies such as mee bandung muar, chicken noodels and nasi kerabu.

Back to their Ramadhan Buka Buasa Buffet, some of the things served that night include Roti Jala, Rojak, Curry Laksa, Nasi Goreng Kambung, Satay and Ikan Bakar. Overall I find their food pretty alright. They have most of the important Malaysian delicacies are available as part of their Buka Puasa Buffet. I find their Otak-Otak and rojak being the highlight of the night. The ikan bakar was big and the flavor is there. Roti jala on the other hand is pretty cold when got it on my plate. If it was warm, pairing it with the chicken curry would be perfect. Overall dining at Otak Otak Place is perfect for those small eaters that does not want to pay a big price to buka puasa with their friends and family.

All I can say is watching youtube is smooth and quick. You are able to view 3D buildings on google map so you will have a rough idea how it looks like when you are actually on site.

So watch the youtube video if you want to know more about the exterior of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and its neat features. I can assure you that you will be impressed! Not forgetting me giving a sneak preview of when the Tab 10.1 will be released in Malaysia including the exclusive telco carrier that will be selling it.

During the roadshow there will be fun activities and you might stand a chance to get a HP Printer @ RM1 . How often can you buy a printer for a buck. Even a can of Nescafe Ice will cost you more than that.
