Nuffnang Gift Ideas Nuffnang has this new initiative lately that gives a chance for Nuffnangers to give other Nuffnangers gifts. Yes yes... it's a bit of a shocker right? I mean we run lots of contests on the Nuffnang Community because somehow lots of our Nuffnangers love these contests but all the contests so far had prizes for the person who participated instead.This time we thought that it might be a good idea Look Ma... I'm on TV! A few days ago, the Nuffnang Wild Live Blogging party was featured on NTV 7's Breakfast Show. Quite a number of our Nuffnangers were on TV that morning! If you missed it, check it out here. This is my 3rd time on National TV. The first time was on another talk show on RTM 2, where I was extremely nervous... being it the first time and being it a LIVE show. The second time was on the NTV7 THIS IS FOR YOU GOLDFINGER!!! Yesterday one of our team mates at Nuffnang (Yee Hou) made a mistake when dealing with one of our big clients that I will refer to here as GOLDFINGER!!! So I said I was sorry and then Yee Hou said he was sorry and fortunately Goldfinger understands that people make mistakes but anyway we jokingly came up saying "Okay okay Yee Hou will do 10 push-ups as punishment for the mistake he made." But What I Look For In A Girl & Why I Wanna Get Married For those of you who remember, I was in Vancouver last week mainly for my cousin's wedding. Being there at his wedding gave me some food for thought about marriage. I'm 24 this year and I admit that I have thought more than once about what is the right age for me to get married.Back in the younger days, while I was still a student, marriage was something totally out of the question and for good Whistler Mountains and Canadian Girls So okay a few days ago I took a 2 hour drive from Vancouver all the way to the famous Whistler Mountains. Whistler is apparently the best ski resort in the world and quite a popular place among Malaysians for skiing during the winter. Yes I'm told that during winter it's crowded with rich Malaysians all going to ski. In Summer instead where the place is less popular, poor Malaysians like me go Ad: How I Lup My Oreos I LUP OREO I LUP OREO I LUP OREO I LUP OREO I LUP OREO!!!! If anyone ever asked what was my favourite cookie of all time, it’s gotta be Oreo. Heck, Oreo is a part of my life, much like other things I grew up with like Milo, Ribena and ICE-CREAM!!! I remember how I used to steal Oreos from the jar when I was a kid, hoping my mum would never find out (though she always did because she loved them Cycling in Vancouver's Stanley Park Just yesterday I was walking around Vancouver with my friend Adrian who works in Vancouver The destination was Stanley Park, one of the well-known parks in Vancouver. The plan was to go there, rent a couple of bikes and cycle around to get some exercise. On our way to the park we stopped by a convenience store for me to buy a drink and for Adrian to buy himself some ice-cream. I bought myself One Night Stand Confessions in Canada I have a few really great friends here in Vancouver, Canada so since I'm halfway around the world here I thought I might as well pay them all a visit.I paid a visit to this friend of mine whom I will here call Jeff. Jeff is an old KL friend of mine whom I met in college. He picked me up from my hotel and took me around Vancouver. At the end of the day, we ended up on a rocky beach chatting while Flying Halfway Around the World Okay here's one thing about my family. We're a very very close knit family so much that if anyone anywhere in the world gets married, the whole family takes leave (almost compulsory) and flies over to wherever that is to attend the wedding. One of my cousins who live on the other side of the world is getting married this Saturday so.... Wednesday this week I flew to Singapore to catch a transit Chelsea Tickets to Give Away (Compliments of Heineken) End of this month, Chelsea F.C. is coming to Malaysia to play FOOTBALL with us Malaysians. Yes they are… yes they are! You’re probably wonder why all of a sudden I’m blogging about this. Well the truth is, Heineken just recently sponsored me 5 tickets (worth RM100 each) for Chelsea to give away to my dear readers. And it’s not just 5 tickets to watch the match but these tickets actually give This Month's KLue Magazine The very nice people at KLue were nice enough to write about me in the latest issue of KLue Magazine. If any of you guys have a chance, do check it out (It's a two page article but I'm not going to put up the second page where most of the text is so if you really wanna know what it says go check out the magazine ok?) My brother tells me that he really likes the way this article is written since When Faced With A Big Lizard.... Okay here's the story. One of my buddies here in Penang stays in an area where in order to get there, you actually have to go through some rural jungle road. If you drive down that road often enough, you'll see see something you don't usually see anywhere else. Once it was late at night and I was driving down the really dimly lit road when suddenly I saw a huge snake crossing the road. When I Durian Party with Alcohol Legend has it that one should not have durian and consume alcohol along with it. Apparently the belief is that drinking alcohol with durian in your stomach will expand the durian in your stomach and eventually cause your stomach to explode. Today, some of my friends put that to the test. We had a DURIAN PARTY!!! Any of you guys had a durian party before? It's where we'll all buy lots and lots Hiring People I'm back in our Penang office right now. Just took a 4 hour drive from KL back to Penang yesterday to see if the team here is keeping well but most importantly to do some interviews. Nuffnang is hiring again and I'm going to be spending much of the next few days in this Board Room at the Penang office. Ahhh... this board room brings so many memories. It was the very same board room that all How Long Does Sex Last Last night I was out with some friends at Laundry and we started talking about How Long on Average Does Sex Last? What happened was this. One of my friends, lets call him Jacob was away in the toilet when the rest of us who were there talked to his girlfriend and asked her "Hey how long do you think?" First she asked what the definition of it meant, whether it included foreplay or not and we The Prom Queen So today I was at Suntec Convention Center again in Singapore for the Ad Tech Conference Day 2. Now in these conferences you meet a lot of other people and I happened to meet this American guy who is the Asia Pacific Vice-President of a very very big website... and I mean a HUGE site. This particular site is one of the most highest trafficked sites in the world and most certainly one of the Ad Tech in Singapore I left KL yesterday to head to Singapore.I've been sitting on so many airplanes lately I've been getting a bit uncomfortable on planes so I decided that this time I had to take a bus down instead and let me just say it was a refreshing change... though I may go back to taking planes again soon. The reason why I'm down in Singapore these couple of days is for an event called Ad Tech. To the AM I THE ONLY ONE.... WHO THINKS THIS GUY IS A LEGEND!??!?!?! Watch this video. Bloody hell!!!! Our Nuffnang Wild "Live" Blogging Event When Ming and I first started Nuffnang a little more than a year ago, we did almost everything ourselves. Everything from answering e-mails from bloggers to hiring more people to doing our own accounting to doing sales pitches to get the sales in. Then as the network grew and our clients became bigger and bigger, the team grew bigger and we had more help but the growth of Nuffnang has been so No Animal Testing A conversation I had over dinner today Jane: Hey you know, sometimes you go to places like Body Shop and they put up a big sign that says "NO ANIMAL TESTING". If they don't test their products on animals then what do they test it on? Me: Ermm.. maybe like.. lab rats? Jane: But rats are animals too. Me: Oh uhmm... then maybe the chemists tests it on themselves Jane: I highly doubt there are The Pics We Put Up On Facebook Choosing what pictures you put up on Facebook must be a very tough choice. I mean here is a site that many many millions of public people have access to on a daily basis. It's almost like you're choosing what picture to put on a giant billboard. I chose mine very very carefully and picking the most simple picture that can't go wrong. But I guess the guys at Facebook saw that coming so they While We Malaysians Suffer... For some of you who have been following my blog for the longest time, you would know that one of my best friends in the world is this Middle-Eastern dude named Hasan whom I spent 3 years with in London. Hasan is now working in the Middle-East and earning in a month what many Malaysians earn in a year. As a result of that he's always going for holidays and always trying to drag me with him but so Changing My Lifestyle Okay so the petrol prices just recently went up and we've all been urged to change our lifestyle to cope with the change. According to an article I read in The Star, apparently only 16% of Malaysians take public transport. That's shocking! I mean when I was in London, almost everyone I knew took public transport but fair enough, I'm ashamed that I'm one of the 84% of Malaysians that don't take Funky Cans & Belly Dancing!!! Okay so last weekend I was at The Curve again. What else is new right? I'm at The Curve just about every other week. While I was there last weekend there was this F&N event going on in front of Cineleisure with 4 or so huge cans for street artists to paint on. I think it was just the finales for a contest to find the individual with the best art but looking at the cans I had a thought. Again Made of Honor at JW Marriott For those of you who don't know, last night... courtesy of Hong Leong Online, 100 Nuffnangers were invited to an 8-Course dinner at the JW Marriott, just before a premier screening of the movie Made of Honor, a movie that's only coming out in 1-2 weeks time.When I first got there (I was a little late being stuck in the jam on the way there), everyone was already mingling around. It's easy to Mister Potato's Football Contest aka Project Trafford I’m going to begin this entry with how Project Trafford came about. You see, Nuffnang has in the past run many many many campaigns for all our different clients and this is how it typically works. Some people from the client, the advertising agency and Nuffnang will sit together in a room to brainstorm to come up with an idea. These brainstorm sessions can last from a few hours to even the The Day I Turned 24 Birthdays in Nuffnang is a really special thing. We have a rule in the company that nobody is allowed to come to work on their birthdays. Everyone automatically is required to take the day off on their birthday, a day off that is not deducted off any annual leave. My birthday however was a little different. I woke up in the morning like any other day and went to office in the morning. It was ANYTHING WHATEVER IS HERE!!!!!! Remember about a year ago I wrote about a soft drink called "Anything"and "Whatever in Singapore? And then remember shortly after that how I grabbed myself a number of those drinks while in Singapore? Dammit... I loved the drink and I was only wondering when they would actually start selling it in Malaysia. Guess what?As of this week... IT'S HERE!!! ANYTHING WHATEVER IS HERE!!! You can find Don't get cheated online About a week ago, a very nice fellow Nuffnanger wrote me an e-mail about how things when sometimes sound too good to be true... really are. I just want to share it with everyone else so you don't fall into the same trap ok? PS: She requested in the end that I change her name if I were to post this up so... lets just call her Sharon. Hello there Timothy, Firstly allow me to introduce Roaring My Way To Nuffnang's Wild "Live" Blogging I can't believe it's been 3 months since our previous Nuffnang Pajama Party. Heck it feels like it just happened... but when I realized that the 3rd Quarter was coming, I guess we all decided it was time to get Nuffnangers together again. This 21st June 2008, together with Maxis Broadband we're having the very first LIVE BLOGGING Gathering of its kind in Malaysia. That means there are going to
