LG Cookie Monster Party @ Neutral Club feat. Wonder Nuffies

joshuaongys — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 14:12:03 +0000

It’s been quite a while since i last attend a party organised by Nuffnang and i must say it felt pretty weird but familiar at the same time for me. The usual suspects weren’t there and i found myself standing in a whole bunch of unknown faces, and to add on to it, there were monsters round me!!

So yeah, i attended the LG Cookie Monster Party just yesterday at Neutral Club, Kuala Lumpur. Good thing the monsters that were present weren’t harmful and oh they eat using forks and spoons as well. Just like us human beings. Fascinating.

We were served with good food from Modesto’s which is just next door.

As usual, such blogger’s party by Nuffnang will include in some game challenges. The unusual thing was we had SHREK (Kenny Sia) as emcee.

Anyways, the highlight of the event must be the performance by these bunch of girls who called themselves Wonder Nuffies and if you’ve watched the video above, you’ll know that they performed the dance in Nobody by Wonder Girls!!!

L to R : Karen, Angeline, Rina, Jacqkie, Jestina, Fresh, Rachel, Yuen Yee, Sara, Michelle, Linda, Vernice

Best Costumes is one of the most important part of such costume themed parties and well, 10 monsters were called up on stage for the ultimate prize of the night. 5 Males and 5 Females, well i don’t know how they check that which monster is a female or male lah but anyways, below are the best dress individuals!

Sesat-ed Predator and Mummy from Malaysia…

I think they both DIY their costume, crazy semangat!!

Oh well, back to the party…

Hmmm..

One thing i love most about such event is that i could catch up with some long lost friends. In this case, i ended up finding a few familiar faces then.

Karen

Was happy to see friends like Jolyn and Jason(which i didn’t take picture with) that night. Knew them for like erm 2 years already i think. =D

Ok alright, i DID not just take pictures with girls okay, i did take picture with a guy. Yes just one only…

Timothy Tiah

LOL!

In case you don’t know, 6 of Singapore Nuffies came up to Kuala Lumpur to party with the Malaysian bloggers as well and i had quite a chat with Raine, one of the Singapore Nuffies who told me about… Eh why must i tell u?

Raine Chai

Well i did have a good chat with her lah. That’s it.

I think that’s about it, it’s great to see such party happening again after so long. Was secretly wishing that the old faces were there but then well, i can’t be too greedy right?

The performance by Wonder Nuffies was more than enough to entertain and make me smile for the weekend then. =)
*go watch the video above!!

World Cup final at Bangsar WC Street Party, Viva Espana!

joshuaongys — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:28:47 +0000

adidas Golden Ball: Diego Forlan (Uruguay)
adidas Golden Boot: Thomas Muller (Germany) – 5 goals, 3 assists
adidas Golden Glove: Iker Casillas (Spain)
Hyundai Best Young Player: Thomas Muller (Germany)
FIFA Fair Play Award: Spain
Source : FIFA.com

Just came back from Bangsar World Cup Street Party and i’m really tired at the moment. No am not gonna do this anymore torturing my legs and putting myself in sweat & etc.

Waiting for 40+ minutes is something crazy for me and i am crazy enough to do it but soon we left the scene heading to a nearby mamak giving up on the line and the organizers of this event.

Good thing we managed to get in soon after that a big thanks to David Wong who got us in. Oh by the way, us = Me, Nicholas Gan, Michelle and Cindy Tey.

Oh on the match itself. DID YOU NOTICE HOW MANY CARDS THEY WERE? It isn’t funny at all you know, with those time wasted pausing the game with cards given and warnings after warnings. Apart from those foul moments, the torturing 90 minutes game without a goal is really pretty hard to accept in the middle of the night.

Especially when there were a couple of genuine opportunities being wasted by both sides!! Both the teams weren’t playing top class football, there were just…. kicking balls…. and boots and legs and even chest!

Thank God it didn’t went on to the penalty shoot out!! I would be dead by then, with my numb legs and a sweaty body.

Andres INIESTA was the sole goalscorer of the match who scored the winning goal at the 117′ Minutes at extra time. Not a spectacular magical goal, but it was well taken, the rest of the story? Well you could find it all over the internet, major newspaper reports/articles and etc.

I’m just happy for Spain especially for Casillas the captain of Spain whom i really think is the top goalkeeper at the moment. Despite being the number 1 team in the world as well as the most expensive team in the World Cup 2010 tournament, Spain have not really been the favorite when compared to the likes of Germany, Brazil and Argentina.

but they made it and finally got their hands on their first ever World Cup title with a very talented team!

Did i mention that the girl in this picture above won herself a Lotus Elise in the Bangsar World Cup Street Party a few hours ago? She must be the happiest Malaysian on earth today!!

and seriously, if you Holland fans think that Spain played dirty, then you can really “Go Holland” okay? The amount of cards being “awarded” to the Holland players is amazing!

and one thing…

The Referee is always correct!!

I’m so happy now i don’t need to hear the annoying Vuvuzelas anymore and yea, all hail Spain and most importantly,

ALL HAIL PAUL THE OCTOPUS!!!

Meeting Gillian Chung 钟欣桐 in Person!

joshuaongys — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 01:00:14 +0000

Never did i imagine that i could meet her in person. Gillian Chung 钟欣桐 the Hong Kong singer/actress was in Kuala Lumpur yesterday to promote on her latest film 出水芙蓉 The Fantastic Water Babes and yes i get to see her personally all thanks to GSC Cinemas!

A private meet the fans session was held at Berjaya Times Square hotel Swimming Pool area where i actually went into stoning state when i was there side by side with Gillian Chung 钟欣桐.

Gillian : 今晚有睇没? (Are you watching the movie tonight?)
Me : 有! (Yes!)
Gillian : 会叫朋友睇没? (Are you gonna ask you friend along?)
Me : 会! (Yes!)

Yes i can proudly tell the whole world i have exchange conversation with Gillian Chung of TWINS!!

WHAT? Let me “Syiok Sendiri” lah!!

and i actually hoped that the session could be longer but well, i guess i’m more than satisfy being able to see her face to face then. =)

The private session ended quite fast where there’s another meet the fans session where it is open to public. Just right out of the main entrance of Berjaya Times Square Shopping Complex.

Attended the movie premiere later on and i’ll reserve my comments on the movie for another post so, yea. At the mean time, watch the video at the start of this post okay?

and if you did watch the video above you’ll realize i was recording the scene where Gillian Chung 钟欣桐 was distributing some prize for the winners in some mini game session during the private meet with fans…

Then, there was this lucky draw and the number 88 was called out.

I guess that pretty much explains this picture above right? <3

Super Auto Mix @ Bukit Jalil National Stadium

joshuaongys — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 02:06:16 +0000

Hours before i witness the demolition of Argentina by Germany’s team of Hitler’s inspired players, i was at Bukit Jalil National Stadium for this SUper Auto Mix event. It’s been ages since i went to such events with cars, models and etc and i must say, i do not have much to talk about this one.

So rather than having me making you snooze in front of your computer reading the stuffs i type, why not i just show you some of the pictures i took then. =)

Like it? If yes then there’s more pictures here with larger resolution. =)

Till then, anyone have any idea on any similar events in the future?

Warning : The AXE(X) Effect!

joshuaongys — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 12:48:25 +0000

If you’ve missed the blog post on the female nurses and police at Euphoria MOS Sunway which i’ve blogged about a week ago, go here. and yes, this post is somewhat related to it.

I actually made a last minute decision last Tuesday to go all the way to Sunway for this launch of the AXE Deodorant in Malaysia. Being one of the top selling deodorant in the world, this AXE brand men deodorant finally made its way here.

I do not know how true is it that when a guy use it, he can easily get phone numbers from the girls around. One sole thing i enjoyed during the whole night was because of the people that was there.

Yat, Eklern, Ren, Jessy, Wilson, Me

WilsonNg, Ren, See Pin, Me, Mike

Wilson Ng, Ren, Thomas, Yat, Wilson, Jessy, Me

With I-Mae

Well with almost everyone getting more and more busy nowadays, it’s pretty hard to arrange time to meet and catch up with most people. That’s why one of the reason of me going to such events is to bump into some of these busy people so that i could keep myself updated about their lives.

To be frank, i didn’t really pay attention on what happened down stairs but i knew that there were 5 different type of AXE Deodorant that was featured in 5 different rounds involving lots of girls that is.

and if you’re here to look for the pictures on the girls, the image above will be the last of it posted here. Of course, you could always Google the images up or search around in Facebook. A lot of people were there and i’m sure you’ll find the pictures.

Last but not least, let me show one more picture of me and…

Jessy – A picture which she claimed that she’s ugly T__T

A great night it was!!

All the best if you’re using AXE deodorant with an intention of getting girl’s numbers then. =)

The AXE Invasion, With “Nurse” and “Police”

Just came back from Euphoria MOS Sunway. Freaking tired but refuse to head to the bed straight away because i’m stubborn like that! No lah, actually it’s because i “wash” my eyes for quite a few hours just now at MOS. Now can’t really sleep… Totally didn’t expect to see so much things.

I mean like…

THIS? Hah!!! In a Night Club OKAY!

LOL. Well it was the launch of AXE Deodorant in Malaysia.

and this…

and oh Namewee 黄明志 of the infamous Negarakuku issue was there as well.

Didn’t really snap a lot of pictures of the girls so if you want to see more of such pictures you can head to either mynjayz.com or mikeyip.com as they were flashing their DSLRs the whole night. Confirm got nice pictures for you to see!

Last but not least, before i head to bed, here’s a birthday wish to this birthday girl, Esther Ng!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! =D

Nokia Ovi Flash Games Blogger Night

joshuaongys — Thu, 27 May 2010 09:34:38 +0000

Last Thursday, i was at Italiannies, The Gardens Mall Mid Valley for this session where Nokia just recently included some new flash games by Breakdesign in their Nokia Ovi Store.

In a small group, we were briefed on what is the game about where the user interface are quite user friendly. and seriously, the games were pretty addictive as well as i was hooked up to this specific game Ninjani playing several times trying to get higher scores then.

Anyways, one of the thing i get to know in the session is the score board for Nokia phone users who played the games downloaded on Ovi Store. By playing the games and submiting their scores online where it will determine a person’s ranking internationally or in a country itself.

Kel Li, Fiona, Nigel, Hsu Jen, David, Me

Good to hear that Nokia is doing a hardwork here in adding more applications/games into their Ovi Store. Too bad i do not own a Nokia Phone. =(

Oh by the way, the food served at Italiannies were Super Nice!!

@icednyior #wcmy Faiz prefers array callbacks. Didn’t catch why. Filters have to return something.

@goldfries #wcmy @hongkiat @icednyior most people stop even before they start making money. they’re better off not blogging. attitude no there.

@whykimi #wcmy Malaysia problogger talks about ads, say… How much they really earn?? Liewcf can even buy gf!!!

@wafflehausmedia @vernieman I believe it should be 80/20… Especially in aff marketing. premium content 80%, selling 20% or less! #wcmy

@vernieman Interesting insight from @friedbeef. Rewards loyal readers by reducing ads. #wcmy

@Bennimaru Traffic to your blog relates directly to the returns you’ll make. Provide topics/content of value to ur readers. #wcmy

@icednyior Ur niche has to be something that ppl actually has product to sell #wcmy

@icednyior Pageview doesn’t always equate money. Lower traffic blogs might earn more if it’s a niche #wcmy
