  • Hello Malaysia’s Starbucks Coffee Card

    Hello Malaysia’s Starbucks Coffee Card

    Hello Malaysia’s Starbucks Coffee Card – I know it’s kinda late to share this up but then I still believe many people out there do not aware of the existence of Starbucks Coffee card in Malaysia. Haha. I have the similar card a few years back but that was the USA version and it could not be used here.

    After a long wait, the Starbucks Coffee card is finally here in Malaysia. It’s actually just collectible prepaid card or can use as a gift card which you can store money in it and then use it to buy your beverage and cakes. The good part of it is that it has a nice design on the card which can turn collecting the card as a hobby.

    Another thing is, you get a free welcoming drinks upon signing up for a card. You just need to pay RM20, as a minimum reload and you can get the card itself, as well as a welcoming drinks. Awesome! And best part of all, the welcoming drink can be collected in 90 days time so you can take your long and nice time.

    Currently, there’s only 3 design, the original green color, and two Christmas special editions card. I have got the light blue, how about yours? =) By the way, remember to register your card on Starbucks website so it can be use.

  • The Jobs – CM Lim Guan Eng And Edison Chen

    The Jobs – CM Lim Guan Eng And Edison Chen

    The Jobs – CM Lim Guan Eng And Edison Chen – Found these photos on the Facebook which are altered from the original Steve Jobs photo when he passed away. It’s really funny that how they show you who have a better “jobs” in between the Penang’s Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and Hong Kong celebrity Edison Chen.

    The Jobs - CM Lim Guan Eng And Edison Chen

    CM Lim Guan Eng is so far the best chief minister of Penang in my opinion since he take over the whole state. Development grows, more investment in Penang and a lot more he had done to Penang although there’s still space to improve. I’m really glad that having Lim Guan Eng as the chief minister and hopefully he will bring Penang, my hometown to a developed city on par with other top city in the world.

    The Jobs - CM Lim Guan Eng And Edison Chen

    Edison Chen, famous Hong Kong celebrity who falls in to various sex scandal in 2008 where the scandal photos of him and other girls were leak onto the Internet when his broken MacBook was sent to repair. That year was the most “down” year for him as it clearly showed his bad conducts. Recently, photos of him kissing a 16 years old girl was leaked again and the scandal is back. Anyway, despite all the scandal, I think he is quite powerful too for having his own fashion company – CLOT and media company CMD, and also handsome. No doubt this two people are compared for “Jobs”. LOL.

  • XERUD – Innovative Condom Dispenser And Fortune Teller

    [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXUUEn4jANY&w=640&h=360]

    XERUD – Innovative Condom Dispenser And Fortune Teller – Asian is conservative, we are the type of people who doesn’t discuss about sex openly. “Sex” makes people feel private and embarrass. Agree?

    Check out the video about how Durex gives out free condom to the people of Taiwan at the same time to spread the knowledge about safe sex. They found out giving out free condom on the street is not really a good way of marketing safe sex, so they make a fortune teller machine that dispense condom at the same time, the there’s fortune telling and safe sex message imprint on the packaging. Really innovative.

    One thing, the name Xerud sounds so weird, not nice. HAHA.

  • A Visit To Logos Hope – The Floating Book Fair

    Have you heard about Logos Hope before? It’s the largest floating book fair that travels around the world. The Logos Hope is actually a name of a ship that is currently park at the Swettenham Pier in Penang. On board is a mini books fair, or also can say it’s like a mini Popular bookstore featuring many Christian books, and also many other books too.

    E

    Entrance is RM1 for everyone and free for children below 12 years old. I was curious and I went to check out the Logos Hope with my girlfriend, Hueisean to see what is it like on board.

    It was the Hari Raya day 1, Malay friends went to visit and celebrate and we went to check out the floating book fair. Upon arrival, I see many people queue up to get on the ship.

    To my surprise, the queue was pretty long and it took about 20 minutes to reach the entrance. Since it was near to sea, with sea breeze blowing, it’s nice to wait patiently and chit-chat at the same time. Slowly, we reached the ship and we got excited.

    The Logos Hope, by GBA Ships travel around the world with a vision of “Bringing knowledge, help and hope to the people of the world.” I really salute the volunteer crew that work on board and travel around the world with most of the time on the ship. It’s not an easy job.

    Thankfully, the weather was pretty good, partially Sunny, with a cloudy blue sky. We walked into the ship slowly, up the stairs, into the main deck where the book fair is.

    Best part is that it’s open until 10pm from Tuesday to Sunday and everyday open at 10am except Sunday at 1pm. So you can go relax in the ship sometimes although there’s nothing much.

     

    Upon entering, I could see many people wandering around. There’s an area where people can see the history of the ship in both electronic media format and photo format. I was not really interested in it, so took a photos with the logo and started to go with the flow.

    GBA Ships! Yeah. Do you know GBA? I think many don’t know about because everyone now is so high tech and advance and only know about iPhone and PSP, GBA was the GameBoy Advance, a gaming device with better graphic. I had one and sold it. Ouch.

    Went to check out the books with many Christianity books around. Some are good buy because they are cheap but I have no idea how old are them. Lot’s of language dictionary too. I was looking for home improvement interior design book, I found but didn’t buy any because they were too old. If you are a book lover, you must get on board and I am sure you will find your desire books.

     

    One cool thing is that the price of the book on the ship is using Units and 100 Units is RM8. I wonder why.

    Found a cafe named International Cafe selling pop corn, pastry, some juice and soft drink but did not get any because of the long queue, then we went out of the ship and headed somewhere else!

    Must visit if you are in Penang. If you are in Kuala Lumpur, it’s coming to Port Klang this month on 28th September 2011 and park for a month. Check out the schedule at the site.

    P/S: Good night people, tomorrow got school! Down.

  • Smurfs Figure At Gurney Plaza

    I think Smurfs is a old school cartoon character because I did not know about just until recently which I have been seeing a lot of the upcoming’s Smurfs movie promo. It’s coming to the cinema in about 2 weeks time. I know that they are the cute little blue creature and they are coming into New York City (in the movie).

    A buzz of Smurfs have been created with contest, t-shirts, figures and poster can be seen anywhere. A big marketing money have been throw into to make the movie a success. Eventually that I wanted to watch this movie too.

    The Gurney Plaza mall in Penang is exhibiting many Smurfs character at the New Wing area and it’s allow people to take photos of them. It’s pretty cute and there’s really many many Smurfs, I assume there’s more than 100 of them!

    Untitled

    Untitled

    I brought my camera, remove the lens cap, and start shooting around the cute little blue figures. =D

    Untitled

    I saw many kids were posing there too for the camera of their papa and mama. Even adults take picture with them.

    Untitled

    In conjunction with the movie, there’s a session where 3 huge Smurfs mascot come on stage and allow people to take photos with them. In order to pose with them, you have to present a receipt of spending of RM15 in the mall. People queue up with their receipts anxiously to take photos with them. Cute!


  • Canon Sprint And Ricoh RZ-700s Film Camera

    Canon Sprint And Ricoh RZ-700s Film Camera

    Do you keep your old toys, stuff and gadget? Some like to trash it away as they think it’s taking up extra spaces. I don’t really like to throw away stuff because I think they are memorable and have a value in the future. Just look at the rusty exhibits at the museum and gallery, they are all old stuff.

    Recently, I found 2 old camera in my house’s cabinet. It’s not really very old, but it’s there for more than 10 years. I wipe them with a clean cloth and I’m going to keep them well, as a exhibit, collection, and perhaps use it to take photos again.

    Untitled

    Untitled

    The Canon Sprint, is a fixed focal length camera with 35mm and f/3.5 aperture with flash too. It uses 2 AAA batteries.

    Untitled

    Untitled

    Another camera is the Ricoh RZ-700s which is a film camera that has a zoom function, but not sure about the auto-focus mode and aperture. Guess this is a lousy camera as my parents got it for free during a lucky draw session back then. It runs on a CR2 battery.

    Pretty cool, if you have some unwanted and old camera and want to get rid of, donate it to me. =D
