A week ago I got a surprise package from @NandosMalaysia, and was pleasantly surprised when I was reminded that Mother’s Day was coming. Not only that, they even prepared a gift for her, too 
)))))
However I was ever so busy with EYE Project‘s big project in partnership with SEC called the GradMalaysia Graduate Careers Fair (which was a success by the way, with DS @IdrisJala_ giving one of the best speech I ever heard & DS @HishammuddinH2O & family visiting the student leaders in between their packed schedule) that I could not plan anything for my mom.
Furthermore mom was away on an overseas company trip during the weekend as well, only coming back moments ago so it makes it even tougher for us to surprise her.
Luckily for us though, mom saw the gift from Nandos and was smiling from end to end even in her tiredness ))
The reason? She loved the quirky notes that were on the satchets and thought I was the one who came up with it! It really was all @NandosMalaysia‘s efforts but nevertheless she appreciated it that it came through me and told me that we have to pay them a visit together as a family.
I told her that we would, because they would be ready to have us. Won’t you now, @NandosMalaysia? 
I just wanted to show you what made my Mother’s Day for my mom work… The quirky punchlines! This says “Forever Your ‘Ah Boy’” hahaha too cute! Yes I bet all moms wish for that too, regardless of what their sons think :p
This one says “I won’t ignore you on purpose, I promise.” and mom, I will do my very best to uphold this promise *crosses fingers behind :p*
Finally the most epic win of the epics! “I love you more than daddy. Don’t tell him.” Hahahahahaha! Guess this one really won her heart eh? You guys at @NandosMalaysia really know how to win them hearts! But now father will be furious since this has been shared on my blog- so whatcha gonna do? :p
All in all, it was a great reunion again with mom as we missed her presence, especially for me since I normally rely on her to dress me up real good for any of my big events… I can’t begin to count the number of stuff I depend on her to do for me. Can you? Come share with me.. After all, sharing is caring right?
Anyway I don’t wanna get too sentimental on my blog haha.. Whatever it is I owe @NandosMalaysia big time for this wonderful effort, for getting my mom fired up after an exhausting trip. God bless her for making it back safely into our arms… The only thing to do now is to go makan some good ol’ flame grilled peri-peri chicken!
PS – Will be making a little something special for mom soon… Can you guess what it is from the picture below?
We were invited to this exclusive private IMAX 3D screening of ‘The Avengers‘ at @TGVCinemas, Sunway Pyramid on behalf of Harley Davidson Malaysia and Echosphere – and how could I say no after looking at the itinerary they provided us with. Yes, even though this is the second time I’m watching it in the same cinema, one week after my first time right after it launched here in Malaysia!
It started off by meeting up my long time friend
Emily Er at
Harley-Davidson 3S showroom, located at Naza Automall, Petaling Jaya to take a look at what they have to offer. Strangely we were attracted to our own super bikes and this was my choice! Nice? Well it costs
RM300,000++ so it’ll take me many long years of hard work before I can think about owning one
Emily decided to choose this baby instead… I didn’t think it was as good as mine but it does have some badass skull shape insignia on it… The two are what we call CVO… can’t remember what it stands for, but it’s customized lah basically. No wonder it’s so pricey!
Now these babies are what you come to the Harley-Davidson showroom for. You might have seen some of them being driven by bulky looking people on the roads… and always wondered to yourself – how do they even handle these huge machines right? So do we. Emily admits she couldn’t even reach for the clutch, and the handles are waaaaay to far away to make a proper turn! LOL!
The #Avenger bike joined us at the scene too! We went to play with it after having our buffet lunch. How could we not haha… Here’s @RockeRina and hubbie, @imTheJessicat and boyfie with Captain America’s bike!
Then it’s Emily’s turn. She can’t take her eyes off
Captain America‘s shield.. bet she’s daydreaming about his body already after watching the #Avengers hahahah! (Though she said she loved
The Hulk at the end
)
And the lovely lady behind the wheels is Your Highness the @Helenness, founder of
Echosphere and a woman I’ve marked as one of our many future leaders. You’ll go far, just continue to learn and experience the toughest times, stay true to yourself and you’ll emerge a winner! Thanks for the invite
And now we’re all ready to move to Sunway Pyramid@ Some like @RockeRina here are pillions, sitting behind REAL Harley-Davidson bikers who will be following us to the private screening!
I mean, just take a look at them! Can’t get more authentic than this eh? The community meets often, organized by the Harley-Davidson guys here at Kuala Lumpur… They are just like family, and a cool one at that, too!
Emily and I chose to be in the comfort of the
Colorado. Nothing beats aircon
And the view is gorgeous, being surrounded by the loud roaring of Harley-Davidson bikes as well as escorted by police and their sirens… AMAZING!
We were winged by this cool looking marshall… You’d notice that other motorists will shy away from them… You NEVER play with a Harley-Davidson, unless you want to get in trouble. It was LOUD and SHINY wei haha!
Here’s a picture taken from
Felix‘s blog, just to show you how cool our entourage was… the bikes were as large as the cars okay! Read his blogpost
here!
Finally we arrived at Sunway Pyramid, and in STYLE too! The loud roaring of the Harley-Davidson engines, the wailing of the sirens and a cohort of important looking VIP people obviously attracted a major crowd at the unsuspecting shoppers. Here’s @imthejessicat greeting the audience LOL
And look who’s with us! It’s
@JehanMiskin the celebrity on his own Harley-Davidson bike
Emily of course couldn’t resist riding on one of them bikes. Thanks to @imthejessicat’s explicit description of her ride, Em is pretty happy she didn’t need to join the bikers during the trip, preferring to stay in the car haha
We had some time to kill before the movie so we went to
Haagen-Daaz for some good ol’ (but expensive!) ice cream… and this is what we ordered. Cute? These small morsels of what looks like Macaroons are actually bits of hardened chocolate with ice cream inside and costs a bomb! Nice to try, but definitely not value for money
And thus ends our adventure after having a really great time at @TGVCinemas’s IMAX theatre – comfy seats, super sound and probably the largest screen ever in Asia. Seriously amplified The Avengers to the very max, and leaves no curves *BlackWidow’sAssAhemAhem* out of our imagination haha. Happy but tired, we went to our Colorado where the friendly guys at Harley-Davidson Kuala Lumpur fetched us back – and returned back to our respective houses with an experience to boast about – hence this ridiculously fast blogpost haha.
And it’s not just an album launch, rather, a wholesome event filled with a bazaar, concerts, YouTube community meet up and even a Joseph Germani Meet & Greet session LOL! The whole event was a BLAST and I had so much fun… Congratulations to
An Honest Mistake for pulling of an amazing event at Publika, and super loved the performances right up to the end!
Here I am at @GermaniPro’s booth where he’s selling #GermBands for RM20. The reason? To start his own initiatives so he could do more of whatever he’s doing now. I totally support, that guy’s a self-made celebrity!
Oh and I met @JinnyBoy & @Dan_Khoo too, the acclaimed producers on YouTube (and one of them has just become a YouTube Partner too, congrats Jin and Reuben – make more videos for us to watch!)
And then I bumped into my long-time star,
@themingfeed and the lovely lady
Marianne who starred with him in several videos. This guy is really humble, and has the talents for sure. Can’t wait to see him at the top
Finally, Darren Teh, Lead Singer of An Honest Mistake and I met and he’s gonna rock Publika down! If you haven’t checked them out yet, now’s the time. This awesomely cool band has been around for some time and has gotten a lot of praises (and fans) and its only a matter of time before they go regional (I believe so!)
Leonard here, the man I can always count on. Thanks to him I was able to connect to many of the people in the entertainment industry. He’s the guy who does the real work and I have nothing but respect for him. Dude, I’ll support you wherever you go!
The event is on its half-way round now and it’s pretty cool meeting really awesome people here, from Dennis Lau the electronic violinist extraordinaire to Baldwin, super keyboardist (and gf) as well as Thong Kai. More people were there but I’ll have to go now to enjoy the music. Until my next update, toodles!
~~~~ CONTINUATION ~~~~
So there was a YouTube community gathering as well, and for the first time everyone got together and took a few photos!!!
The infamous pairing at JinnyBoyTV – Reuben Kang and Jin Lim! (too cute la they all)
This is me trying to get everyone together. Havoc man. What to do, it’s like getting The Avengers together kan? hahaha
Finally together! And I used @BryanLYT’s camera for this, cause mine not very high resolution. Thanks man! To the right, to the right
Here are all of them looking confused Part 1
Now looking confused Part 2. Damn jokers.
Finally got a decent photo of all of them. Super cool list of people here.. can you identify them all?!
Malaysian YouTube Community Assemble!
And in that super exciting moment I forgot to take picture with these guys… something that really deserves a highlight to my life, because it was one of my lifelong objectives to get all of them together and to see this happening… is super surreal. Guys, I present to you, an epic moment solidified thanks to PHOTOSHOP! Hahahahhaha. Looks damn good right? Had to add the super talented actress Sandra Tock in it as well yeah?
PS – to make this idea work, I had @BryanLYT take a photo of me standing where they were all at. Not bad leh… This is d original pic
And that’s it! What a day! Hope ya’all like the pictures, and don’t forget to support both An Honest Mistake as well as our amazing Malaysian Youtubers Community!
So… IKEA has done it again. Take a look at the simplistic beauty they call the Cardboard Digital Camera by IKEA below.
It was apparently given away last week to members of the press during the 2012 Fuorisalone, a design expo in Milan. I’m a big fan of gadgets, and this particular one is really grabbing my attention!
This is not IKEA‘s first time at surprising people. The last surprise we had was IKEA’s Uppleva, an All-in-One TV solution that looks like a blown-up iMac, but much cooler. All of these are not made available here in Malaysia yet, but when it does, you bet I’d be the first to get!
Oh, and I don’t think it’s a joke. The camera can hold up to 40 photos on internal memory, has a USB connector, and uses 2 size AA batteries. Now how cool is that 
Ps- my office has been IKEA-fied. Just one more piece to add before I show you the final look!

I was shopping at IKEA today and decided to have lunch when I noticed this new meal at the IKEA Restaurant & Cafe.
Looks as long as my arm, feels as thick as my thumb but of course is not me lah. It’s the Chicken Vienna Sausage with Coleslaw and Fries! For RM11.55 I thought it was a little overpriced but after the meal, I realized that I was super full by the time I was done with the dish!
Thanks to my under expectations I had difficulty finishing my chicken wings. Next time, just get the meal alone – seriously its as filling as the size. Furthermore the sausage is super bouncy and the skin firm, bursting as you bite into it surprising you with overflowing meat juice.
All in all it was a good meal and thank goodness I had my IKEA Card with me with leftover money in it. Seriously the most convenient way to pay for my meal seeing that I come here at least once a month!
Ok toodles now, am off to get my Red Rack to put my companies awards and achievements!

It’s all about positive energy, for a brighter world.
Last year the race fell to many criticism as they failed to even meet basic needs of some of the runners. It was, put simply, a logistical nightmare.
This year they’ve changed the organizers, and it’s no surprise that they engage some of us to help throw away the negative impact of last year’s race. No doubt people will be talking about the previous failures and rumors will spread, you know, the Malaysian way. Well, I’m of the opinion that we have to always give people a chance to prove themselves. Spinzer.us is proud to be part of the race this year (for the first time) where I’ll be taking the media 5.5km run at Sepang International Circuit at NIGHT! We literally will have an Energizer LED headlight to light up the road in front of us, how cool is that?!
In any case my race kit arrived yesterday by mail and I was really happy because my previous marathons always ended up in disaster at the beginning because I always forget to pick up the race kit. Thank God I passed that one! There were stuff like discounts for running shoes and vouchers in it, but what I noticed most was my bib that says @Spinzer and my Kiwanis badge, the charity they are supporting via this race. I’ll be proudly showing them at the race so if I see you there, come say hi!
Anyway i had to try them on right, and since it was my first time having to wear a singlet like this, I might as well post up a picture of it. Excuse my sleepy face :p
Ah, fits. Well, yes, sucked in tummy but who doesnt do that these days?! Haha. Really excited for the run happening this Saturday, 21 April at 8pm
At least it’ll make good practice before my 10km run at the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012 coming up next. Gah!
