Cititel Mid Valley

Posted on October 14, 2013October 15, 2013 By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Cititel Mid Valley

Planning to post this later but I guess should post it earlier to preserve its freshness *LOL*. When I was in KL last month end, I stayed at Cititel Mid Valley. It’s a 3-star hotel. Nothing much to expect anyway.


The room and bathroom wasn’t too small. It was all right for 2 people. Not too bad. Clean too.


However, who would expect this? I only stayed there for 2 nights. The next day, I was surprised with birthday cake and cards by the hotel. It was sent to my friend’s room. Then, my friend intercom us saying that she’s coming to our room to look for us. When I opened the door, she started singing Happy Birthday. I thought she was pulling my leg or it was my roommate’s, who knows… It’s for me according to the card -.-” We were all rather shocked because it wasn’t my birthday that day and my birthday was early in the month, it was over already. It was already month end that time. Then, we figured they might have track it based on the month.

It was so nice of them to shower their guests with such surprise. Not many hotels are doing this. Most doing it on the actual day itself. What’s more, it’s just a 3-star hotel. Service beyond the stars? I’m impressed.

The choice of food in the restaurant was quite delicious and had many varieties. Our rooms had breakfast included. We also did order room service and the food was very delicious too.

The location of the hotel is very convenient as KTM stop is there at Mid Valley so you can easily have access to the city center. The Shopping malls are just next to each other too.

So, if you are looking somewhere to stay when you’re in KL, this one can be considered if your budget permits.

Posted on October 9, 2013October 10, 2013 By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Hitz.fm Birthday Invasion LIVE Concert 2013

Hitz.fm Birthday Invasion LIVE Concert 2013 happened on 28th September 2013 at Taylors University Lakeside Campus. I was one of the media invited from East Malaysia to cover the event. Firs time ever! It was one unforgetable experience for sure! Just going to show you the photos, not sure how to elaborate too hahaha…


These guys… I’m sure Hitz.fm listeners know who they are.


The concert goers ready to party!!!


Enstranged performed 3 songs.


James Baum also performed 3 songs.


Bananaaaah! Potato-naaaaah! I’m sure you know who these yellow dudes are. The Minions! They were really disoriented, bumping into each other on stage. Cute!


They Will Kill Us All. Yes, it’s not wrong, they called themselves “They Will Kill Us All”.


Left: Backstage interview with They Will Kill Us All. Luckily we came out alive *LOL*
Right: Project EAR.


Left: K-Town-Clan.
Right: Mizz Nina.

There were more performing but these were those that I managed to take photos of. We were basically coming in and out of the backstage else we would sit there and enjoy the music.


Last but not least, Chester See! *LOL* With the Minions too!

Finally, the end of my event coverage trip that happened 2 weeks ago. I started off September going to KL for the weekend and ended September going to KL for the weekend again. One interesting birthday month.

Interview with Chester See

Posted on October 3, 2013October 10, 2013 By sweet surrender No Comments on Interview with Chester See

Chester See… I’m sure there are many fans out there. Frankly hehehe… I have no idea of this person until last Saturday where we got the chance to interview Chester See privately with only a few media people in the room. Not bad looking at all! What an eye candy! I had my photo taken with him and got him to sign my media pass but the photo isn’t with me.

Let’s see… For those of you not knowing who he is just like me, you can visit his YouTube channel (username is chestersee‎), that’s where he got famous anyway… The power of social media. He is sure a looker and can “kill” many girls *LOL*

From the interview, here’s some fun facts of Chester:

  • Chester is a big fan of bak kut teh and nasi lemak.
  • It was his second visit to Malaysia.
  • Likes song writing.
  • Enjoys telling story.
  • He will be creating company after company until he found one that can be successful if he is not who he is today. He’s an entrepreneur at heart for sure.
  • Likes music from 60’s.
  • Trying to be ahead of the curve.
  • Have family in 5-10 years. So… Is there any taker? I’m sure he has heaps lining up to be his other half, it’s just a matter of who he will ended up with.
  • “Chester Makes Love Songs” Album is coming soon. Stay tuned for it.

That’s all I got from the interview ;p There are more but I didn’t have pen and paper with me, so these are what I managed to type on my phone. Writing is faster. Besides, the rest of the stuff were just the normal stuff you get to read from any normal media.

To end the post, this is one song here which I like from him, Who Am I To Stand In Your Way. Yes… Who am I to stand in your way… Some day maybe…

I’ll have the video of the concert uploaded in the next post, simple compilation of his acts.

Astro Launches New A-List Channel

Posted on October 2, 2013October 10, 2013 By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Astro Launches New A-List Channel

This is the event that we were supposed to go last Friday but we couldn’t attend due to the flight delay. Nevertheless, I’m still going to share with you what was it all about.

Are you ready to be on the A-List? Movie connoisseurs can look forward to a brand new and exciting experience with the launch of A-List, Astro’s latest HD channel to showcase the best award-winning and critically-acclaimed international and regional films. A-List will be available on Astro channel 456 from October 1st, 2013.


(Left to right) Astro launches new A-List channel; Agnes Rozario (VP of Content Management, Astro), Liew Swee Lin (CCO, Astro), Henry Tan (COO, Astro) & Teng Lee Yein (VP of Acquisition & Distribution, Astro)

The A-List channel will be available for Astro’s pay-TV customers in Malaysia and Brunei, and they are working on making it available to audiences regionally in the future via Astro On-The-Go and other TV platforms.


A-List models at the launch of Astro’s new HD channel, A-List

A-List titles will be presented in its original language with multi-language subtitle options available. Every month, A-List will premiere 8 critically-acclaimed titles from film international festivals such as the Busan International Film Festival, Berlinale Film Festival, Toronto Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival.

How Astro’s A-List titles are curated?
Award winning and nominated titles are carefully curated to be on A-List based on the following criteria:

  • Themes, relevance, whimsical and unique take on issues, ability to provoke thoughts and discussions
  • To showcase the works of new and exciting film makers
  • To premiere the most talk-about international titles in Malaysia and the region
  • Real life stories and relevant social-economic and political landscape of the world and the region.


In October, the A-List channel will premiere 8 contemporary films including films that are based on real life events such as “National Security” which is authentic and raw in its telling of the story of South Korea’s former minister, Kim Jong Tae’s arrest and interrogation over 22 days for his involvement in the democracy movement. It gives viewers a glimpse into South Korea’s modern history.

Other films include Berlin-7, which is still on the film festival circuit and tells the story of the struggle and survival of an Iranian man who moves his family from Iraq to Berlin to keep them safe after the US attacks Iraq. Also, not to be missed is the Academy Award winner for best foreign film, The Secret in Their Eyes set primarily in contemporary Argentina with intermittent flashbacks to the 1970s when the country was descending into a military dictatorship, the film is by turns a whodunit (and why), a romance and something of a love story.

On a lighter note, catch the South Korean romance comedy, How to Use Guys with Secret Tips, starring Lee Si Young and Oh Jung Se, which won awards at the 2013 Udine Far East Film Festival and at the 2013 FanTasia International Film Festival. For more light-hearted romance comedy, watch the Taiwanese film, When Wolf Falls in Love with Sheep that won numerous awards at the 2013 Asian Film Awards.

Two-times Oscar winner Sir Michael Caine will entertain you with this love story about a suicidal stubborn old man who finds love and life again, after meeting a young woman by accident in the comedy drama Mr Morgan’s Last Love, directed by multi award winning director, Sandra Nettlebeck.

Astro customers can expect more new and exciting contemporary titles to be added on the A-List channel in the coming months like Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Joss Whedon of The Avenger’s fame and which won the 13th Belfast Film Festival Audience Award and A Monkey on my shoulder, starring Juliette Binoche who won numerous awards. Customers can access the A-List channel via a monthly subscription of RM 15 for 8 titles for Astro Byond pay-TV subscribers in Malaysia and Brunei as well as ala carte purchase of titles at RM8 per title via Astro Byond VOD.

For more details on how to subscribe to A-List, please log on to http://www.astro.com.my/A-List or go to Channel 200 or contact 1300 82 3838.

Blogging since 2002. Anything before 2006 is no longer available. It is no longer on this server. Back then, I built my own blog and updated it using HTML. No database or anything. Only started blogging fully with a CMS in 2006. However, whatever was on the Internet will stay on the Internet. So... It should be still somewhere on the Internet. Then again... Why do you want to dig that far?
