In Case of Emergency Call 999

(Blog Update For TODAYYY!!! OMG...)

First of all, I would like to thank members of the Fire & Emergency Response Team (Rescue Unit) for the fast action taken in saving our lives today at Sunway Pyramid Shopping Center.

My friends and I were trapped in an elevator in Sunway Pyramid and help was nowhere to be found. But with the help of the Malaysian Emergency Response Team we were located, found and taken out into safe zone.

I will go into details about what happened today soon, but for now... i am too tired to do so, i would just like to thank these great people from our Emergency Team, Emergency Switchboard and the rest of the Fire & Rescue Department for the great help. Without them, we would have been trapped longer in the elevator.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, from Shaz, Kevin & William.

Reminder: Kids, do NOT play around with this number cause you should value what these people are risking for YOU. Their lives, they are here to help but don't play a prank on them. The number 999 is for EMERGENCY only. You can MAKE a difference...

(Blog Update For TechARP Samsung Bloggers TT Session)

Now back to normal programming, was at the Samsung Bloggers TT Session organised by TechARP last weekend and 25 of us lucky bloggers were chosen from a myriad of applicants. I was one of them and we each received a unit of the Samsung SGH-L 760 Samsung 3G Mobile Phone for loan / review for a month.

The event was held at Fasta Pasta at Ikano Power Centre. For more information and update about this event... let's wait for the next few updates shall we! Yes we have the Samsung phones for loan, not for free... but oh well!

The briefing about the product and ease of use... Lawrence from Samsung Malaysia was there to help us in the product briefing and demonstration.

Some of the other bloggers were testing the phones and playing around with it.

Table for 6, there's Thomas Yap, Nicole Kiss, Timothy Tiah of Nuffnang, Elaine, William and Myself.

Mushroom soup here was quite ok... but you guys ought to taste the Nikko Hotel Mushroom SOUP its DA BOMB!

The bread was ok, but a bit "liat..". But thx to Nicole, she made me somthin delicious!

All the guys here... haha William, Me, Tim and Thomas!

We figured that Timothy was ermm a bit too lucky on this event! hehe.. :P

Now what can you do with butter, bread and sugar? Well Nicole had a surprise for me...

She buttered it and sprinkled some sugar on top! Wow, was i lucky or not??? First time someone did this for me!

The food was overall ok, but this pasta was a tad bit dry! Ermm... compared to Italiannies pasta, i prefer it there! But oh well..free lunch! :P

Pavilion: Revisited...[with upcoming update pics]

(Blog Update For 20th & 21st October 2007)

PS: For those who have already read this post, please scroll down for NEW upcoming blog update photos (updated as of 26th October 2.20am)

Lately, Pavilion has been the eye catching thing in town that has attracted alot of locals and even tourists in visiting this HUGE shopping mall that has everything for almost everyone. From having J.Co donuts pleasing all donut lovers, YoSushi for all Japanese food lovers, branded shops such as Louis Vuitton, Club Monaco, Quiksilver, Adidas and many more. Not forgetting Starbucks Coffee and Baskin Robbins Cafe.

But many had their eyes star strucked on one thing here at the center of the shopping mall. Which is their majestic staircase and awesome centercourt with a very long and wide catwalk stage. Since the opening of the Pavilion shopping mall, alot of new shops and cafe's has opened. Let's see what are some of the major differences on the front facade of this mall.

Here's "the Loaf" - a new bakery in town that sells great french delicacies, these breads and pastries are made from some of the finest imported ingredients. Of course, the pricing of the products here are a bit on the steep side.

Previously when i first dropped by Pavilion, these panels were empty... now filled with bright colors! New adverts which are kinda interesting actually...

This stand-alone panel on the right handside features some of the stores that are in Pavilion. Now it's featuring the Times bookstore, Harvey Norman, Red Box Karaoke (the posh version), and the upcoming Food Republic (a concept food court from Singapore).

Club Monaco is located on 2 floors and the front facade of it is right beside the main entrance to Pavilion.

Juicy Couture - a store that most girls has been waiting for!! or should i say die for! :P

Here's Joshua, Angel and Andre... here we are hangin' out at KLPac on a lovely sunday afternoon. Amazing enough this wire sofa set can actually tahan my weight!

My upcoming b'day party..would probably have both Joshua and Angel performing up on stage!!! hopefully...!!! hehe..

Bathroom Model...2007/08

(Blog Update For October 2007)

Maybe i was too bored, or maybe i was too free... perhaps i was just too anxious to take pics with my new pair of jeans, and my new shirt from Van Heusen... oh well, i did it! Took some photos in the bathroom at last!!!

Yes out of all the places you can find... i took a picture in the bathroom. Don't worry... the floor is clean, the toilet bowl is clean too. Everything is clean as it was just washed and all la! So yea... one afternoon i proceeded into the bathroom to take some shots.

Anyways, this post will be just a quick one, upcoming post will be about hangin'out with Joshua, Angel, Andre, Rachel, Stephen and Darrel at KLPac. But for now, let's enjoy the bathroom shots!

1st short of this brand new bathroom model... LOL... the expression and all is just so!!! GRRR... picture has too much noise, next time around will use a tripod la!

Anyways, here are my friend Artie and Luanne... no, this picture WAS NOT taken in a studio, the background is pitch black because of my camera flash and it was at night. They both study here in KL...

It has been a while since i last chill out at Coffee Bean, so one morning i dropped by at Coffee Bean and had a drink with a friend. I simply love the weather on this day...

Here's another episode of the Bathroom Model shots... well i will put up the whole collection later on but for now... this pic looks like as if i'm going to pull the telephone apart!!!

Here's a teaser on the upcoming update, we were at KLPac on a lovely sunday afternoon... L-R: Andre, Joshua, Angel, Darrel, Rachel and Stephen. We found these metal sofa's pretty interesting. Mwhaha...

Tip of the day: If you're feeling down or what today, just remember sadness is beautiful and loneliness is tragic. So what are you going to do about it...

Happenings: This week alone, there are quite a few press events that went on or will be going on. Such as the Canon Expo Press Conference at KLCC Convention Center, Canon Concept Store launching at Pavilion, Samsung Press Launch of their latest product and many others...
