Towards a Green Malaysia
Oct 24th
A continuation from a previous post here
this is the day where Canon organized this tree planting event a few days ago.
Alright so where was i, hmmm
i was talking about the thumb print thingy… lolx…

before i continue in my story telling, these are the emcee for the event. Refer picture above. =)
okays so after the speeches by the VIPs, they proceeded in officiating the event by setting the examples themselves
Some of the pictures where they were planting the trees.
After that, there was this short little Q&A/Interview session


and at the same time, the participants were divided into groups and they were sent to different areas to proceed with the tree planting process.
This just reminds me of Hari Sukan, Hari Gotong Royong and etc which i usually ponteng when i was still in my sec school days. HaHa.

this is one of the very few moments/times that you can be proud being a Malaysian, watching people doing something meaningful with mestandingbesidedoingnothingYAWN. xD



Some other ongoing stuffs on that day. =D
so after the tree planting process, some lucky participants got to win a digital camera themselves during a short quiz session.
after that, there’s this performance by this local artist, Zainal Abidin. No Comments =)


Shall not talk more la, will bored you later.

ShuJian, Nigel, Kelli, HsuJen, David and me.

I’m Feeling Green!!!
Oct 22nd
Its pretty rare when you hear people say i’m feeling green. Blue,Yes but not Green. This is not a day where like i was beaten up with multiple “black green” spots all over my body.
This is a day where part of the community in the Klang Valley will do something good for mother nature.
This is a day where Canon Goes Green.

19.10.2008
A collaboration of :-
Global Environment Centre (GEC)
Majis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya(MBPJ)
Selangor Forest Department
Canon Marketing Malaysia

Waking up at 7am is really such a pain and we reached the venue around 7.30am. Awesome right? and the most awesome thing was THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THERE ALREADY. Speaking about “semangat” Malaysians. Amazing!
Environment Awareness.


and gosh i’m so happy that breakfast were provided with Milo/Nescafe some more!!
That was just the thing for me at THAT moment. =)
Soon the VIPs arrived, am lazy to state them out with all those Datuk, Dr, Director, YB Zzzz.
A few speeches were made. Just like in any other event la. Yadda yadda yadda. =)


Apparently, they were expecting 500 participants but it turned out that there were more than 700 crazy people who don’t need to sleep people there attending this very event. and again i must say, AMAZING.
While the VIPs were giving their speeches, there was some ongoing activities already.
Children won’t understand the speeches right?? So they went for some coloring and painting/tattoo session. The activities was available throughout the whole event.

Another thing is this, people marked their attendance and support towards this movement by putting their thumb print on the board. Interesting.

This is the area for people to plant trees, the whole place were divided into 14 areas. Note that the yellow box below is the stage. O.O IT IS BIG.
I’m Feeling Green Already =)
Alright, enough of green pictures for now, more coming soon. Here’s a picture of someone i met in the event. Nixon, someone whom i knew when i was working part time with Canon last time. =D

Not all of the involved well known personalities were there but there are enough to make the media launch a successful one.
Its really not easy to gather these bunch of people together to attend the same thing. Do not tell me stuffs like awards or dinner.


Fellest Yan, Me
this dude is one of the best hip hop dancer i know around in Malaysia. An ex-Chief Instructor of the past reigning Hip Hop group in Malaysia - Urban Groove. Met him in a few occasion already, one of the is the G4G Hip Hop Dance Conference last year. That was when he’s still one of the key person in Urban Groove. That was the past then and presently, he already left the group with some other instructor.
Maybe i shall blog about that sometime in the future, some insider information on the breakout that happen among Urban Groove’s instructor.


and soon they even requested a group photo to be taken.

Read While Waiting
Aug 20th
Living in Kuala Lumpur, i’m one of the many Malaysians who takes public transport each day. A daily routine it is. Waiting by the road, under the sun, looking leftrightupdown, listening to the noise of passing by vehicles.


Have you ever thought of doing something better while waiting than having those unproductive time?
Maybe some newspaper
or perhaps a magazine/book??
I still find it interesting – holding on to a book, reading the contents the whole day when i’m free especially when i’m in the midst of waiting for something, some event, some person, or some other stuffs.
and i’m doing it each day. =)
This is what we should do in our generation that don’t fancy reading, we should promote reading more.
and this Saturday 23th of August, there’ll be a project by RandomAlphabets.com. The same group which organize the KL FREEZE 4 months back.
KL Sentral with a book, mag or newspaper
The area infront of
1. KFC
2. Dunkin Donuts
3. KTM Komuter entrance
- To make people more conscious of whenever they are about to go somewhere and know that some waiting will be involved, then bring something to read
To have a better understanding on this movement/project. View the videos below. There are 3 versions made. I find this quite a meaningful project and i’m definitely going to support it. I’m already doing it each day reading books while i’m waiting, so i do hope that you support this project too. Thanks. =)
Version 1 – Joyce Wong @ Kinky Blue Fairy, Farish Noor, Sharon Bakar, Emmett Butterfingers, Prem & Jules & Fahmi Fadzil
Version 2 – Su Ann Lim @ Pink Pau, Prem & Jules, Sazzy Falak, Sharifah Aleysha & Aryana, Jazeman Jaafar & Ida Nerina
Version 3 – Farihin Abdul Fattah, Chef Ismail, Ida Nerina, Sazzy Falak, Sharifah Aleysha & Aryana, Emmett Butterfingers & Shaz Mukhtar
Do Visit RandomAlphabets for more information on the project! See You this Sat.

PC Fair & Wimax
Aug 10th
Just last week, there’s this happening event in the heart of KL that drove everyone crazy attending the event every year.
If you ask me, i would say that its pretty crazy. Everyone must have gone nuts.

Just look at the amount of idiots there(including me).
Gosh… you should even see the amount of humans sqeezing down there in the LRT train station, queue-ing up to buy a ticket. I was laughing HAHAHA, NOOBS… They should buy a 2 way ticket or just get a TouchNGo card bah…. O.O Really kesian man.
Anyway, when i was walking towards the hall, i notice something. Everyone, i mean almost everyone was holding a bag. Most in purple color.
*yes i went there too, i’m an idiot, flame me!
The bag was what i’m looking forward to in this specific PC fair. WiMAX.

Approached the hall where the WiMAX booth is and WHOA… the booth is quite big. With MANY people there around the booth, and the promoters were working really harding blabing about the new broadband service in town with MANY people paying attention..
I went up and try the service on one of the presetted laptop there and ha! i would say that the speed is up to my expectation, it wasnt as bad as i thought. =)
Maybe thats because of the NOT-SO-MUCH users using WiMAX at the area factor, but yes i’ve a pretty positive-mind on this new broadband service.
belum try belum tau, sudah try hari-hari mau…. OK THAT WAS A RANDOM ONE!!
Anyway, many of them were signing up for the free trial of WiMAX service. *shakes head* Malaysians with their i want free stuffs mindset.
OKAY FINE, MY AREA IS NOT IN THEIR COVERAGE SO I DID NOT SIGN UP!!
i am interested and i do want to sign up as well, but then just a few area have the service for now and the place i’m staying in is not in the list. =(

So, yea, anyone did subscribe and try their service already?? Mind telling me is their service good and the speed is up to expectation in your area?? If so, please please please tell me here….
