  • 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.

Instead of having a normal pen stylus, you can check out the Big Big Cursor stylus which looks pretty cute and cool for your iPad. It makes using iPad a new experience with the special big stylus which actually shaped like the mouse cursor on your computer screen.

    Big Big Cursor Stylus For Your iPad

    iPad actually built without the need of stylus, but then don’t you think with a stylus makes life easier using the iPad like drawing and taking notes?

  • 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!


  • Lelong.my E-Commerce Fair 2011 At Mid Valley Exhibition Centre

    Lelong.my E-Commerce Fair 2011 At Mid Valley Exhibition Centre

    2 weeks ago, I went to check out the Lelong.my E-Commerce Fair at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre. It’s the first and biggest e-commerce fair in Malaysia organized by Lelong.my. Basically, it’s a fair where the online shops that sell on Lelong.my brings their product to the fair and sell it there. If you don’t know Lelong,my, it’s actually Malaysia’s version of eBay and it’s the largest online shopping website in the country.

    Besides shopping offline at the e-commerce fair, there were also talks on how to set up your own online stores and online business, there’s also free goodies bag too!

    The fair was pretty fun because that the shops that we normally see on the internet was at there physically and we could actually get a touch on the product which we normally don’t. I also found some good stuff at there and know about new store too which I will be doing more shopping online.

    One thing, there’s actually lucky draw at the fair where people can walk away with handphones and gadget, as well as a Super Bid where bidding on gadget starts at RM1. Sadly, I couldn’t able to join as I was busy with assignment. Hmm.

    Well, I checked out the opening ceremony and Lelong.my said that they will be organizing similar fair in the coming years. Seems interesting!

  • Hueisean At Masjid Kapitan Keling

    I never know that we can visit the famous Masjid Kapitan Keling (Kapitan Keling Mosque) on Pitt Street just until recently I saw photos taken from that mosque, only then I know it’s actually open to everyone. Visit it not because of being religious, it’s just because of curious and want to check out the historical building and culture of it.

    This is very famous mosque in Penang and is located in the UNESCO World Heritage City of George Town. I knew this mosque for quite some times as when I was a kid, I always played at the five foot path outside the mosque. My grandparents once lived near to the mosque.

    I went there on one fine afternoon with my dear, Hueisean and she was the model for my camera that day. Haha. The day was rather sunny and cloudy, it’s just something in between where the big red Sun comes out in a while and hide behind the moon sometimes.

    The mosque is built by the Indian Muslim in the 19th century and there’s locate the very famous Nasi Beratur (Queuing Rice) that operates after 10pm. Nasi Beratur is a Malay dishes stall that have people queuing up anxiously for their food every night. It had been there for more than 10 years and people are still queuing patiently for it everynight.

    We didn’t really knew the Muslim culture well as girls actually need to wear something to cover up the whole body to go in. She has a sleeveless shirt and luckily she brought a jacket. I was all set with jeans and polo-tee. It’s a respect to the religion and culture.

    In conjunction with the recent George Town Festival month, they have set up a huge poster of old-Penang in their compound, decorated with a little bit of sands and box of crates, which give a sense of back-to-the-days. It allows people to bring their mind back to the olden days and imagine about how Penang was like back then.

    Actually, there’s nothing much to tour about inside, it’s just a short walk along the corridor and we are not allow to step into the hall. Shoes are of course not allow. Nevertheless, it’s a nice place to visit and good to learn about others culture.

  • Chinese Opera At Penang Kuan Yin Temple

    It’s the Chinese Hungry Ghost Month now and you will see some ghost set-up stages around town. These stages are used for performing Chinese street concert (kotai) and performance like Chinese opera which is said as an entertainment for the “people” of afterlife.

    Sounds eerie ya? No worry, it’s just another happenings celebration by the Chinese. Last month, there’s a 30 days-long Chinese opera show at the Penang’s famous Kuan Yin Temple on Pitt Street. It’s not for the hungry ghost festival but it’s for the birthday celebration of Kuan Yin Goddess – the Goddess Of Mercy.

    The Chinese opera show was performs by a group of Chinese performers came directly from China. I wanted to check it out earlier already but it’s was not showing or finished every time I went to check it out. Last week, it was the last show of the Chinese opera and I was lucky to be there to catch the show.

    Spent some times checking out the show. I think they are really cool, especially the make up and the setting. Even though I don’t know what they are talking about on the stage, it some sort of Chinese dialect, but I think it’s really nice to see. Unfortunately there wasn’t any LED display showing subtitles, some Chinese opera shows are quite high tech with LED display showing subtitle in Chinese which makes the show more understandable.

    Combination of acting, cool make up, Chinese music instrument and setting give a sense of, CHINA.

    The show was actually meant for the Goddess Of Mercy so there’s no chairs prepared. So you can see people brought their own chair to see the show.

    What do you think about Chinese Opera?
