Ministry of Beats Vol. 1 happened on 30th January 2010. It started at 4pm and I reached there at around 4.30pm. What was it all about?

Think of electro beats from the DJ and rhythms by a group of percussionists and drummers. That’s what it’s all about.

Left: We were required to get stamped so that they know we had paid to go in. Went there with media pass. It wasn’t very happening at first. Well… What do you expect? It’s still too early for people to party!

Right: The DJ.

Left: The performers.

Right: We had the chance to try out too! Cool! I haven’t been beating drums for years!

Left: I went there right after I managed the anime collage competition at tHe Spring, that explains why I wore skirt and it doesn’t look decent *LOL*

Middle: Candid shot, I was playing the drum that time.

Right: When the sun went down…

I left at about 8pm+, couldn’t stand it anymore. Was tired due to rushing from one event to another. I didn’t stay long to enjoy the party.

That’s all about my experience at Ministry of Beats Vol. 1.

By the way, photos were taken from random sources in Facebook, namely from Andre, Sheng Han and Cyril. I hope I didn’t miss out anyone. I lost track of the owners of the photos ;p

I have so many pending post, KL post. MOB post, Betong post, and food post that are not ready yet. However, I’ll blog about this first which is easier to blog ;p.

Today, it’s the turn of Morgan, Fahri, Naomi, and Sandra to give freebies away. Apparently they got many prizes too, so they had two rounds of games.

I went there with my parents and when I reached there, Morgan and Fahri almost ended their activities. All I know was that, I was busy looting stuffs that Mike got from the game ;p

Fahri asked me to go up to help out with Naomi’s and Sandra’s activity as someone from the crowd. I think I’m the only tHe Spring Ambassador finalists that actually went up to win something *LOL* We played Limbo Rock! Oh my! I fell hard on the stage in public! Wakakaka… I don’t mind really.

Then they had kids went up to do catwalk. Funny… Where’re the adults?!?!? I thought they could get better response compare to us but apparently we also had to help them look for people to join them on stage.

There… Everyone had done their final task and now we will be waiting for the final result.

Before Noami and Sandra’s slot, we(the finalists) had a short filming with RTM crews for KUPPA KOPI. It’s aired every Monday at 2pm on TV1. It’s not in the plan at all, it’s last minute.

Aiks… I didn’t even have full makeup, just a bit of foundation, blusher, eyeliner, and mascara which were not very visible. I was just simply wearing my usual clothes. Didn’t dress up at all since I was only tagging along with my parents.

The staffs at Stage offered to apply some makeup for me but we got no time for that. Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it I just applied some lipstick from them that’s all.

So… I’ll be appearing on national TV this coming CNY(should be second day of CNY, 2pm) with almost no makeup(can consider no makeup at all!) to wish you a happy Chinese New Year.

Here… Group photo is a must Too bad, the photo is too blurred to salvage. I should have activated the flash.

Lesson learnt ;p. From now on, I should not go there without dressing up first! See what happened today? *LOL*

Jonathan and I were given last minute instructions that we would be working in pair and our sponsors were changed to Level Up Fitness and add on another one, Digi, in less than 2 hours. Luckily we worked in pair and not individual as stated earlier. Two minds worked so much better and one. Even though it’s last minute, we managed to pull tru’.

Good thing we had plan B. We were expecting for more and better responses but too bad we didn’t get it. Where’re all the people?!?! For the first time in the weekend I got no problem looking for parking and there’s no jam out there.

Good thing we had supports from people around North Court and some friends.

We let them play a game called Musical Box, similar to Musical Chair. They were require to pass the box around. Whoever got the box will have to draw a piece of paper from the box to get either a question or an activity instruction. The last one standing would be the grand prize winner.

This is second round. We tried to get anyone up to the stage and also draw for a piece of paper from the box to get a question or an activity instruction.

We had to share a microphone. Seriously I hated it. Only one person could do the talking each time and talking alone is boring ;p When one got the microphone, the other got nothing much to do but stood there on stage -.-”

Left: Took a photo with Aprilia, the winner of Breeze Model Search.
Right: Me with “me”. See how huge the thing is?!?!

Finally got this last task done. We’ll now just wait for the final result. Thanks to whoever that came and supported our task today.

Updated: Plan changed! I’m not giving out Sushi King or WOW Book instead I’ll be doing something for Level Up. Not sure what time will it start but I think it should be around 1.30pm.

Got some sort of last minute task assigned to us. I was shocked when I saw the event in the newspapers this morning. We were not informed about anything that will be happening this weekend. Basically, less than 24 hours to prepare. It will be our last task before the finale.

My slot will be at 1.30pm, it will last for 20 minutes. I need to organize a game to let the shoppers win prizes. Been cracking my head for ideas. After some discussions, I finally got an idea. Now I need to prepare my props and my scripts for tomorrow. I’m going to give out Sushi King vouchers and WOW Book.

I hope I will do well and not get nervous. Cross my fingers.

That’s all for now. See you tomorrow.

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.

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!

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

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”.

Where should I start? I got so many posts pending. Hmm… Since I’m so the very kiasu, I’ll talk about this new place in Kuching before everyone else also talk about it hehehe…

Since I have RM20 voucher, I think I might go get the hula hoop that I’ve been trying to get ;p

I would love to update a proper post but I don’t have such time to spare and I’m super duper tired now. Today is really a busy day. I know there are people that are even more busy than me but don’t compare them to me *LOL* Let’s see what’s happening today:

9.15am, went to get my result at the college and paid the fee. Thought it would be fast but it took quite a while.

10am+, reached Toys’R'Us at Hills Shopping Mall, I was late, I missed the ribbon cutting part all because of the earlier delayed. The refreshment was great! Applied for the membership card too, It’s free anyway, why not?

11am+, rushed over to Level Up Fitness to say hi to the bloggers in Project Alpha. They were having their filming in Kuching. Finally met sixthseal after so many years. We never got the chance to meet few years back until now. He still remembers me hahaha… He was the one who contacted me last time regarding a blog post of mine. Hmm… About 5 years back? Then not long after that we lost touch.

12pm+, rushed home, had lunch and touched up my make up.

1pm, went to tHe Spring to manage the anime collage competition. Ended up becoming the MC for the event. I did it in Mandarin. My Mandarin sucks big time, I’ve never host or MC a formal event in Mandarin before so you can imagine my usage of words and how I got stuck here and there ;p So much of being Chinese educated for 8 years(2 year in kindergarten, 6 in primary school) and then took up the subject in secondary school until form 5. Even reading from the script also posed some problems *LOL*

4.30pm+, went back to Hill Shopping Mall for MOB. Stay there till 8pm+. I actually got a chance to play with the instruments! WEE! Haven’t play drum or hold or drumstick for ages! My left arm is sore! Funny thing is that I used my right arm more. Thought to stay till 9 something but couldn’t stand it anymore. I got quite disoriented already even without the alcohol! I forgot to switch on my headlights when I drove home. Only realized it when I almost reached home!

Tonnes of photos! Tonnes to blog! Calling it a day for now. Really cannot admit that I’m still young *LOL*
