Project Alpha in Kuching

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on Project Alpha in Kuching

Was invited by Kenny to his gym to join the work out session with bloggers from season 1 Project Alpha last Saturday. Earlier on I was covering Toys”R”Us opening therefore I was late. I didn’t plan to join the work out and was just thinking of dropping by to say hi. Besides, after that I had to rush home and go to the Spring to manage the anime collage competition so I wouldn’t have the time to shower and redo my makeup. I only had half an hour.


Left: When I was there, I thought the work out session ended but it’s still going on. Finally got to meet some of the bloggers, there are quite a number that I didn’t manage to greet and take photos with.

Right: Timothy and Audrey. Finally I met someone who is almost as petite as I am! 😉


Left: Huai Bin aka Sixthseal! Finally! It’s been years! He’s the first blogger from Kuching(he used to based here) that I met online way back in 2004(if not mistaken ;p Lost track). We exchanged e-mail for few times and suddenly stopped. Then not long later, totally lost contact.

When I introduced myself to him, I was so afraid that I would make a fool of myself as he might not remember me at all. Phew… Lucky he remembered hahaha…

Met him and all the crews again the next day for lunch at Madam Tang’s. It’s not planned, happened that I was with someone else from KK for lunch and happened that he was going to have a meeting with the film crews. How small the world could be?

Huai Bin wanted to share his laksa with me but I was still full from my beef noodle and slightly nauseous. He even asked the waiter to bring another empty bowl so we could share but I had to turn it down at the end. So so so sorry.

Nice meeting you for real this time Huai Bin! Hahaha…

Left: Jojo Struys!! Eeek… I hate my fringe -.-” Can’t wait for it to be longer. It never came across me that I will get a chance to be so close with a celebrity 😉 Always see her on TV and prints, now can see her for real. Aiks… My face looked big compare to Jojo’s *LOL* Usually I got the smallest face in photos.


Left: Redmummy, the red lover! Read her blog once in a while, since she was just standing near me so I took the chance to greet her 😉

Right: Nicole, her bf came to give her a surprise visit. So sweet! *ahem* *hinting hard to somebody*


Group photo! The Adidas logo really glowed!

Other bloggers that were there were Budiey and BeautifulNara.

Wonderfulborneo.com Launch

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Wonderfulborneo.com Launch

Was invited to the launch of Wonderfulborneo.com on Monday night at Sri Shan, the Indian restaurant at Ban Hock Road. Hmm… What should I say about the site? I don’t have to say much really… You can find out about it by just going to the site itself. 😉



It was officiated by Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Dr. George Chan.

Before Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Dr. George Chan left, group photo is of course a must to commemorate the launch.


Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Dr. George Chan joined us, the bloggers, and chatted with us about tourism and how we could help in promoting Sarawak.

Here’s a photo of us with him. Many left earlier so they were not in the photo. It’s was a last minute decision to have photo taken with him just before he left.

Remember to check the site out!

Anime Collage Competition & The Photo is Up!

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Anime Collage Competition & The Photo is Up!


Last Saturday, our task was to organize the Anime Collage Competition held at North Court.


Sandra and I did the emceeing. We were pretty boring hahaha… Imagine announcement by customer service, we did it that way *LOL* Sandra did it in English and I did it in Mandarin. Tried hard to use proper Mandarin but couldn’t achieve it.

On the other note, the sound system was so good that I felt like going to the karaoke to sing!

If only we had a hdd recorder there that time to record down everything. I wonder how we performed that time. I kept looking at the form and read from it ;p There’s no eye contact at all!

Oh ya! Remember to vote for me!! ;p The last day to vote and submit lucky draw form will be on 13th February. Less than 2 weeks! Very easy. Just spend RM100 in a single receipt and get the lucky draw form from the customer service. You will see my face there on the form, just tick! ;p

Now… You’ll be greeted by this at the customer service. I’m going to haunt you for months!


They showed us this last Saturday.


Today, it’s up! My goodness! So big! I didn’t expect it to be so big! It occupies the whole wall! I really don’t dare to go near to see myself there *LOL*

This last photos were taken by Naomi. I was supposed to be there today but plan changed. I’ll go to take more photos tomorrow. Will try to take the photo of myself standing next to myself ;p

Got Lost & KLCC 6th January 2010

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Got Lost & KLCC 6th January 2010

Continue on with my KL trip post. Many other posts are still pending because I haven’t filter the images.


All right… So we got lost… We turned left, left, left instead of right. My bad… Told ya… I’m bad with direction especially with the map! I mixed up the instructions given too. After turning and turning the same place for at least 4 times, basically we’re seeing KL Tower every single time ;p Finally someone came to us while we were trying to figure out the map and saved us! Silly, silly! Bukit Bintang was all these while right in front of me but I missed it. I couldn’t see Lot10’s signboard, if I saw it, I would know. The signboard was covered by the monorail and trees at certain angle, that’s why -.-” I felt so bad ok… Leading my parents to the wrong place and made them walked so much. It was a very hot afternoon summore!

On the bright side, I managed to take photos of the tower ;p Never got the chance to take one whenever I’m in KL. Also explored the area that I’ve never been to.

We actually tried to hail a taxi near Hotel Istana and that taxi man tried to slaughter us by telling us going to KLCC cost RM16! Luckily we were told it should not exceed RM10 if we were to go to KLCC by taxi.


Left: Another view that we saw when we got lost.

Right: WHAT THE F***! When I saw this sign, I felt so want to kick myself. Next to it, there’s Ain Arabia. Saw Ain Arabia in the map but didn’t expect it’s actually so close! This is actually the road leading straight to 41Berangan! Just go in straight, down the hill and there it was!


Left: Finally found the taxi stand. Asked one taxi, he told us RM10. We just took it. At least still in the range.

Right: Initial plan was go to KLCC Aquaria but got turned off by the price and also got quite tired walking around because if we were to go in there, we have to walk again! -.-” This is the road leading to KLCC Aquaria.



So we just went to the souvenir shop to see see look look.

Finally got the chance to take picture of Petronas Twin Tower.


Left: We didn’t know we had walked such long distant as we’ve been walking inside the building. This architecture greeted us when we came out from the building and got a shock seeing that the twin tower was so far away already. Ok… For Kuchingite standard, it’s far ;p

Right: We slowly walked back to the twin tower. This is the fountain you can find there at KLCC.

After that, we tried to locate the LRT at KLCC to go back to Bukit Bintang. I thought the station will link to each other under one roof, we didn’t have to walk out of the building but we were so wrong. We had to walked out of the building when we reached Dang Wangi station. Then walked to the opposite side of the road via overhead bridge to another station, Bukit Nanas, to go to Bukit Bintang. It’s quite a distant to walk to the Bukit Nanas station, again… For our standard ;p

All in all, 3 of us, we spent RM7.50 to go back to Bukit Bintang from KLCC. We concluded, it’s not worth it! ;p Rather use taxi coz taking LRT and monorail was taking up too much energy. From then on, we decided no more monorail or LRT. Taxi all the way next time!

Our last stop was Sungei Wang. Had dinner at the food court as we couldn’t decide on what to eat and was too tired to hunt. I’m sorry to say, our food court in Kuching is way better than that. After dinner, we walked around Sungei Wang before we called it a night.

Who knows… We lost our direction again! Ask the police stationed there and he got no idea where was Jalan Berangan haha… Then I saw McD right in front of me as that row of shops led to Ain Arabia, there’s also EON Bank and Watsons there. We finally found our way “home”.
