Working for Digi in Queensbay Mall for 3 Days

Written by Nicholas Chan on February 6, 2010 – 1:25 am -

So basically, if you need to look for mobile broadband, cheapest postpaid, or any Digi-related product, do drop by at the Digi’s booth in Queensbay Mall Central Zone behind the performing stage, I will be there from Friday till this Sunday. =D

I am working part-time as promoter, event helper and almost everything. HAHA. Fun or not? There’s fun, because there’s payout, there’s not fun because I stand a lot and it’s like many many hours and walkaround the booth quite a lot.

I receive the job quite last minute, I was surfing the net at home, fixing my computer then suddenly a friend called and ask if I need a job or not, so I said “yes” and asked “when?”. She said “now” and I was like OMG a little bit, so fast, but since I’ve got nothing to do and there’s payout, I took the job.

So basically we are targeting customer on mobile broadband, so any inquiry can drop by, or if there’s nothing, also can drop by and chill with me.

So nice that today (Friday), I bumped up with many friends, some work at Queensbay and some were just shopping around, at least it’s not boring.

My colleagues are all very friendly too and very nice to talk. Like it.

Another thing to mention is that try sending “VIP” to 2000 to check whether you are a Digi Priority user, if you are, you can redeem free gift from the booth. Only for postpaid and super heavy user. =) I am a prepaid so I am not entitle for it.

So, the working hour is 10.30am to 10.30pm, a lot of stand, so do come by and check out Digi. In my own opinion, Digi has got the cheapest Blackberry plan, cheapest unlimited data plan, fastest mobile 3G broadband, nice postpaid plan and good service. I am telling the truth, not just trying to promote Digi, I kinda like how they market their product.

The reason I am on Maxis Mobile Internet because I am using a Maxis business line so if asking me to port to Digi, there will be a lot of procedure and my mom will not want to spend extra time on doing this. So I’ve got no choice.

Chung Ling Dragon Boat Tragedy Memorial

Written by Nicholas Chan on January 30, 2010 – 12:54 pm -

It has been two week since the Chung Ling Dragon Boat Tragedy passed. My school lost a teacher, and 5 student and I lost a friend. I know that we have to move on from now, although the thing is still in my and our head, still we have to move on, life goes on from now. Anyhow, it’s still a sad thing.

Yesterday, the school had a memorial event in the school hall. I wanted to go, but I was stuck in a traffic jam because of Thaipusam festival. When I arrived in school, the whole school was quiet, and it was almost the end of the memorial.

It was playing a video clips of the lates, and it’s a very emo moment, tears dropped down once again. Still feeling and thinking, WHY?

Some says that they shouldn’t have this memorial event because it was getting forgotten in the mind and almost move on with life, but this thing has caused emotional breakdown once again.

There’s student, families, teachers, alumni, and people from the press.

Everyone in the hall paid a last respect before dismissing. We will always miss you. >.<

Penang PC Fair 2009 Fun

Written by Nicholas Chan on December 10, 2009 – 10:41 am -

Last weekend was the PC Fair exhibition in several places in Malaysia. We’ve got one in Penang, at PISA, the Penang International Sports Arena. I didn’t think of going there because I have nothing to buy, but some friends wanted to go there to take a look, walk around, and feel the crowds, so I joined them.

PC Fair is always crowded and I didn’t go to PC Fair a lot. A lot of people like to go there buy laptop. In my opinion, there’s too many laptop in the market, competitions and hard to choose a good one, I picked a out of competition, you-won’t-see-it-at-PC-Fair-model and that’s Apple MacBook. You probably won’t see people shouting “Come and see MacBook!” because the price is fix all the time.

On that Friday morning, Chien Chern came from Batu Feringghi, passed by my place and fetch me along. PISA is like on the other side of the island from my place.

Then we reached Zez’s house as a meet-up point for everyone, waited everyone at there only we walked to PISA because his house is just right across the street.

We haven’t went in and we started taking photos a.k.a. camwhoring, a blogger’s term. As the picture shows, we are Digi user, I am too.

Since H1N1 is not over, there’s handsanitizer, but I believe not many will bother about it.

We then started walking, following the route to the exit as we didn’t have anything wanted to buy. I just wanted to look around, to spot anyone familiar and find some cool new gadget.

Fangs, Simon, Chung and Chien Chern.

Elaine, Chaiwei’s friend, who were both working on the same booth.

Chaiwei.

It’s all flyers, flyers, and flyers. They just keep handing out flyers even you have already got it. Their task was to give it out all.

After passing by a few laptop booth and there comes the broadband booth. It’s like a war zone there, all the promoters were in their coloured uniform representing different broadband service provider. This is the most happenings part, which created by their own “army” but not people.

They will never ever convince me to potong (cut) my broadband line because I like sticking to my Streamyx. This part is the noisiest and there’s balloons by Maxis and P1.

Arron and Huaken.

To make things fun, I went to speed test all the broadband and found some pretty interesting results.

Chien Ming, working for Digi and was poisoned by Digi broadband.

Priscillia.

Met friends working there too! Too bad they can’t get my support, what I could do was just take photos.

After walking around on the outer zone of the indoor arena, we went into the real sports arena.

Chien Chern, HP girl, me, Arron, Yong Chieh, Simon.

There’s camera, hardware, laptops, antivirus and all the same computer stuff that you can think of. Nothing much interesting, except we went to take free gift from HP.

Avira’s Showgirl. =D

So sad that there’s no booth babe in this Penang PC Fair. I always thought of there will be booth babes at fairs and exhibition, especially a tech related one, but this in Penang, didn’t have. That’s not fun.

Kaspersky Boys. =D

Met Yiphing there too!

Wallace too!

Although there’s nothing to buy, we spent quite long time at there. We spent like 3 hours. I don’t know what did we do actually at there, but I remembered I spent most time speed testing and collecting balloons.

They liked giving me balloons because I Maxis’s balloon, then P1 came and gave me their balloon, then Maxis came again and same thing to P1, in the end I’ve got a lot balloon, which in turn, I became a unofficial broadband balloon boy.

Me, Fangs, Arron, Simon, Matthias, Chien Chern, Edmund.

For your information, I am also a Maxis Broadband user, I uses the data plan on my phone but the speed test I had at PC Fair, sucks. No choice.

So, after taking photos with the balloon, we dumped back the balloon to the broadband company but sticking onto their cars. =D What I’ve actually got that day was a hell lots of flyers, plastic bags and a lot of photos in my camera. It’s a fun PC Fair day outing with all the friends, but bought nothing.

Snakes and Recyclable at Queensbay Mall

Written by Nicholas Chan on December 1, 2009 – 7:17 pm -

Snakes are really very creepy, they are not pretty, they are not cute, but not ugly neither, they are just weird looking creature, and deadly. I like watching snakes show on National Geographic and Animal Planet, and too at the zoo. I do not dislike it, nor like it, but got a little bit interest in it.

2 weeks ago, I went to Queensbay Mall, was actually wanted to check out the project by Leo Club of Penang (City), then I saw snakes, a few in their box with the snakes man handling them.

I was curious and went to check out the (pet) snake and took photographs. I saw people touching it, so I gave it a touch too, felt sticky, room temperature, muscular, and weird.

Then the snake man took the snake and gave it to me, wanted me to hold it and take photograph. Funny was I was scared, and screamed, the snake was real tame, toothless I guess, and for sure venomless, but I still scared, afterall, all snakes are scary and they kill. Anyway, held it in my hand for almost a minute that gave me an experience. Hehehe. Sorry that I was just not daring enough. =D

Chin Lai here was more fearless, he had the snake on his neck. Nothing to WOW for, because everyone does it, just not me.

Dog or horse?

A little of the project was, a environment-themed art competition. “Artists” works in group and make art pieces out of scrap and recyclable items. Pretty cool.

Then spent a little time at Starbucks, working out on add maths and met Amanda and Yunne for the first time, both are (young) bloggers.

Pillow Fight at Penang Times Square

Written by Nicholas Chan on November 23, 2009 – 10:38 pm -

Last weekend was pretty fun-filled to me. I took my Saturday off, less study but was out for a whole day to see the event organized by the Leo Club. It had been a few months that I have been confining myself from attending Leo Club activities because of exams and studies, another thing is that I have already retired myself as the Vice President of the club.

Basically, I am out of Leo Club of Chung Ling High School, but as in between of transition to a new Leo Club (for high school graduates and young adults), I still consider myself as a Chung Ling’s Leo.

So what happened last Saturday was there’s a first and ever pillow fight party happened at Penang Times Square, jointly organized by Catcheye and Leo Clubs. Long before, I didn’t think I will be there, but the hard part of the exam had past, so I took a break from study.

Yi Jun and Yong Seng.

It’s so good to see the Leo Club friends there and I was there as an observer, not helping on anything, but just see, and take photos, and say hi to everyone.

This was not just a party, pillow fighting, you beat me and I beat you. It’s a fund raising event, and there’s a need of ticket and pillow, which all selling goes to charity. People was allow to bring their pillow but I think getting their pillow is better because they provided cheap pillow with lots of feather. =D

Kenny was one of the official photographer.

Alvin and I-don’t-know-name, his friend.

At first, I thought of helping them on taking photograph, but then turned up there’s like more than 10 official volunteered photographer. So, I’ll stick myself with a little bit of behind the scene and photos with friends.

I got no pillow. >.<

The place was huge, organizer expected thousands of pillow fighter but turned up around 500 unfortunately. Though, I could see everyone had fun at there.

Lion Marcus and Lion Alan Thoo.

Kenny and Victor, trying to capture cottons from low angle.

Another thing that’s lacking to make it a perfect one was flying cotton! I guess there should be a fan, there would be flying cotton, HAHA, there’s cotton falling onto the ground, but somehow I didn’t see many cotton flying up.

Good to see there’s some nice performance like beatboxing by young young boy, dance and being entertained by the funny Baki Zainal. You would know him if you watche NTV7’s Mr Siao Mandarin Class and 15Malaysia’s Meter.
