Amazing Race (Part 2)

So here’s continuing the story of Amazing Race. The next task was located at Pudu Jail, the famous Pudu Jail has recently been torn down (slightly) and is now one of KL historical sites, if I am right. The task was to ask someone with a specific colour t shirt to take a picture with them.DSC_4576 DSC_4577 KL Tower was the next location of the Amazing Race 2011: I LOVE MY CITY. Participants were given 2 choices – LOGIC or CREATIVE.

Black Eyed Peas Brand New Single – Don’t Stop The Party (with Music Video)

Black Eyed Peas fans? I just realised Black Eyed Peas have been writing and producing songs for parties. Not that I am surprise with this new song and release from The Black Eyed Peas called – Don’t Stop The Party? The lyrics is all about party and more parties. Here’s the video:

The Black Eyed Peas – Don’t Stop The Party

The Hip-Hop group compile footage from their live concerts including their recent performance at 2011 Super Bowl. The track is featured on their latest album “The Beginning”. I thought it was really unique to do a music video this way. Entertaining! They are real party goers!

Disappointing Hong Kong Welcome for Justin Bieber.

I bet this was one of Bieber’s most disappointing times. You know all the hyped that happened when he was in Malaysia? It was like the whole world singing to his tunes. Not forgetting my colleague. Could Bieber Fever be dying out at last? It would seem so for the good people of Hong Kong. Mop-haired teen idol Justin Bieber, who usually draws legions of screaming fan-girls at his sold-out concerts got a hugely disappointing greeting when he arrived in the city last week. Just seven fans showed up at the Hong Kong airport to greet the Biebs, the Sunday Morning Post reported, calling it an ’embarrassingly low-key reception’. According to the paper, there were ‘three times’ more bodyguards than female fans at the airport with the 17-year-old pop sensation ‘looking grumpy and walking straight past the small group of fans as they yelled out his name’. But some fans defended the Canadian-born singer, saying his gloomy demeanour was due to him falling ill before arriving in the southern Chinese city. In contrast to the icy reception at the airport, Bieber’s concert on Friday there – one of the last shows in his My World tour – still saw a 13,500-seat stadium almost packed to capacity. The pop sensation soared to stardom after videos of his performances were posted on YouTube, with his album My World 2.0 hitting the top of the US charts. So, whats happening with Bieber in Hong Kong? Is he losing out to the Asian singers in Hong Kong? Or is it just the welcome at the airport for Bieber? Source: Straits Times

Chris Brown and Rihanna Follows Each Other on Twitter? So Whats Next?

No one can run away from the fact that Chris Brown actually smack Rihanna, isnt it? Perhaps, I would have post a picture of Chris Brown’s palm on Rihanna’s face?! But well, recently, they are on the news again. This time for some little minor thing which I think it has been far a bit exaggerated. Apparently, Chris Brown and Rihanna follows each other on Twitter. Does that mean they still wanna know what’s going on in each other’s lives? Does following each other on Twitter equals a hook up? Rihanna’s fans apparently has been creating an uproar showing dissatisfactions. They even claimed that Rihanna should not get back to him because Rihanna has a lot of young girls looking up to her. Is it even related? Well, Rihanna quickly responded and tweeted: “Its f**kin twitter not the alter! calm down! “ So, should these 2 get together again and create any drama in each other’s lives? Or should they just keep it at Twitter? I probably wonder who was that free to see who people are following. You might wanna see who I am following and maybe you can claim that I am in love with these girls?? 😛

ROCK Amazing Race 2011 (Part 1)

ROCK Amazing Race is an annual event organised by ROCK Youth. It has been probably been hitting the city of Kuala Lumpur (and partially Selangor) the past few years. And recently, in March, it was held all over Kuala Lumpur. For this year, the theme is “I LOVE MY CITY”. I think many of the youths these days have failed to recognise the importance of loving the country, or even the importance of standing by our nation. Youths these days tend to drift away in their own world criticising their own country due to many factors. Here, “I LOVE MY CITY” is one of the best themes to inculcate in a youth event to encourage participation and love for their nation. I will be going through the routes of the race all over Kuala Lumpur. Pretty fun and exciting one. All geared up at the Registration Counter.DSC_4493 DSC_4494 Participants all in their sports attire, ready to run and race. They know it’s not gonna be easy for the amount of cash they are gonna get.DSC_4501 This is Toly, with Matthew Oh curi-ing glamour behind.DSC_4502 All ready to START!DSC_4534 First task was probably the easiest in an Amazing Race. Sorting the beans. On a side note, have you ever wondered, if you count the beans, how much effort the organiser has to put in? I am a little curious. DSC_4540 DSC_4545 DSC_4558 Next stop was at the Open Area at Maybank. The task? Was to sing Jaclyn Victor’s Gemilang in the public. They were learning the song there. Who cares the tunes, the tones, the melody and the lyrics? People just wanted to get away from such a tough song. Jaclyn Victor was the 1st Malaysian Idol winning over Dina many years back. Her rendition of Gemilang was probably proved that she is a “super duper” singer and Malaysia still have a great talents. DSC_4564 DSC_4565 The next stop was behind KLCC, if I remembered correctly. They were given a break with sandwiches and drinks.DSC_4568DSC_4572 Next part UP soon!

Is Facebook Brand Tagging Creepy or Cool?

You have always realised that we tend to tag “nose” on some friend’s nose or “toilet” on a toilet door. Don’t deny. I had the urge to tag that can of Coke you’re holding in a Facebook picture. Apparently, many of you have. Don’t lie. Coca-Cola’s Facebook Page now sports several pictures of fans posing with tagged Coke cans. Coke had encouraged fans to do so within hours of Facebook’s announcement last week. Starbucks‘s and Zappos‘s Facebook Pages have also posted pictures of fans with tagged products. So, it’s a dream come through? Facebook added the functionality on March 11. Such tagged photos appear in the Photos tab of a Page, rather than that Page’s wall. While such tagging is so far voluntary, The Atlantic’s Nicholas Jackson speculated that Facebook could monetize the feature by making it automatic. Instead of tagging the photo yourself, Coca-Cola could do it for you, resulting in what is, in effect, real-life product placement. Will it really end up functioning the way it should be? To help in product placement? I just hope page moderators won’t have a hard time clearing those tag pictures which are purely just spam. It’s just like you can just LIKE the page and just TAG; without even the moderators approval. What do you think? Is this an increase in functionality or another example of Facebook grafting commerce onto social interactions? Creepy or cool; it’s all for you to use it, try it and play with it. Coke Bottles Facebook user Karl Mark Kormann posted this artistic shot of a Coke bottle. http://4.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/facebook-brand-tagging/coke-image-mashable.jpg http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/facebook-brand-tagging/coke-image-mashable-2.jpg http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/facebook-brand-tagging/coke-3-image-mashable.jpg http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/facebook-brand-tagging/coke-4-image-mashable.jpg http://4.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/facebook-brand-tagging/starbucks-image-mashable.jpg

JUSTIN BIEBER WORKING TOO HARD?

So Bieber concerts and tours has almost been fully packed or sold out in almost all locations. Despite all his criticisms, he recently performed to another sold out concert in Manila. But not many knew the drama behind the scenes. Or perhaps, some unseen shots of Bieber in this scene. Apparently, Bieber was seen throwing up in the backstage in between songs because he was very ill. Doctor also diagnosed Justin with a bad chest infection. It takes no genius to know that doctor advised this man-to-be to cancel the show or do an abbreviated set but Justin insisted on the decision to cut down the show but still let the show go on in Manila. He is really one star which doesn’t want to disappoint his fans eh? But is he working too hard? Obviously, the show did not stop once it started and sources says Bieber completed a 90-minute full set. Have this star forgotten he is just 17 and he isn’t a superman? More updates on what I feel about Justin Bieber soon.

Gagaville

I used to remember there was a period of time where Farmville used to be one of the most famous and hit game on Facebook. I was just reading it via E!Online and Mashable that Lady Monster has not come out with Gagaville to promote and celebrate her album Born This Way before the official launch on May 23. Lady Gaga says:

“I want to celebrate and share Born This Way with my little monsters in a special way that’s never been done before. Zynga has created a magical place in FarmVille where my fans can come play and be the first to listen to the album.”

I have a feeling she’s really a big monstrous. She’s doing all her gimmicks to make herself a hit. I can’t even imagine what happens to our kids since Farmville has been a hit to kids age 7 and above. Imagine going all Gaga or all Monstrous in their behaviour? I am really wondering if this is one of her steps to brainwash kids to be just like her one day – Mama Monster or whatever you call it. As days past, I find her songs extremely sickening while many still finds her songs extremely awesome that it deserves more airplay. I was reading on the words of her song the other day and I felt like she’s really a plastic bag despite how big she is in the entertainment industry. Will Gagaville be the next trending word or the next big thing? You probably gotta see how this Lady Monster work it through since she was Born This Way.

LATEST UPDATES ON THE ACID SPLASHER via TheStar Online
Man resembling photofit of corrosive liquid splasher walks into police station
 
KUALA LUMPUR: A man resembling the police photofit of the suspected corrosive liquid splasher came voluntarily into the police station and gave a statement denying that he is the wanted man.

Police checked his background and alibi and have determined that he was not the man they were looking for, said city CID Chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ku Chin Wah on Sunday. The man came in after his brother saw the photofit and advised him to clear his name with the police. No new case of acid splashing has been reported since the last one on Friday, he said.
