Selangor Has More…
This blog post is submitted as an entry to Tourism Selangor Writing Competition. So, I decided to go point by point and tell you my favourite. As a brief history, I actually shifted to Ampang, Selangor a year ago and I actually only passed by Selangor daily. But being a KL-ite, if you don’t pass Selangor, you are definitely missing out something. Getting back to the post: Selangor Has More…. FOOD: 
Face the fact, I am a Malaysian. I can’t run away from food. We are all spoilt for choices. And everywhere I head to, it’s usually “Have You Eaten?” or “Jiak Pa Be?”. Thats how we really start our conversation. But my real pick in Selangor? This one: 
This Ramli Burger gives me a “burg-asm”; my friend claims it. It’s one of the most messy burger I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s also a stall with long queues all over. Location: Jalan Kerja Ayer Lama, Ampang between ISKL and SPCA, infront of 7 Eleven. PLACE TO STAY: For obvious reasons right? I stay there. Sure there are place to stay. But I mean if you are tourist, Selangor is one of the states which has the best and coolest hotels all over the town ranging from Gombak to Klang to Kuala Langat and to Sepang. If you want the starts and the moon, Selangor Hotels definitely has different star ratings on their hotel. From backpackers inn to mid-range hotels to classy hotels. 
If I were to take a pick, I’d be bias. Cause here is my pick: 
My House! It’s too comfy. I like the way it is. The environment. And of course the people in it that makes it much cooler eh? Location? Sorry, message me to find out la. Trust me. It’s the coolest place on earth! SIGHT-SEEING: I bet, it won’t be complete. The list just got too long that I can’t even tell you all of them. But some interesting places in Selangor includes: 
There are just too many that I can’t even pick one to select. But in the whole long list, I am proud to have been to some of them. But someone sponsor me to go to all of them, can? But.. Let me just say this is my pick, and I think you’d have to agree with me: 
This was taken at i-City in Shah Alam. One of the most phenomenal lighting effects you’ll ever see in the world. Address of i-City: CityPark, 40000 Shah Alam, Selangor THINGS TO DO: I actually don’t mean this in a bad bad way. I dont want to give you things to do. Instead I give you luxury to enjoy. Thats me, luxury is me. Honestly. So, here you can go shopping. 
In my honest opinion, there are so many shopping malls in Selangor. A few I enjoy most? Here’s my pick(s)! There are just too many yo! Jaya One Mall:(No. 72A Jalan Universiti, 46200 Petaling Jaya 46200 Selangor Darul Ehsan.) One Utama Shopping Centre: (1, Lebuh Bandar Utama, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.) If you are young and energetic, just like my. And all you wanna do is to Party on the Dancefloor, fret not cause Selangor does have Nightlife. 
You’ve bars, bistro, restaurant which you can party your night away. Okay, not in the restaurant. But my point is, if you are on a trip or a tour in Selangor, you don’t want to waste a single second here right? It’s important to make your trip worth-while. Here’s my pick for Nightlife: Laundry: (Lot G75 & 76, Ground Floor, Western Courtyard, The Curve, No. 6 PJU 7/3, Mutiara Damansara, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor) No I am not asking you to do your Laundry. But go check them out. It’s pretty awesome. Up next, EDUCATION. I beg to differ when people tend to think Education in other countries are better. It’s not always the case. 
There are just too many education institution in Selangor. One of my neighbouring College, which I think it’s one of the best in the line is International Medical University Location: Jalan 51/215 Seksyen 51, 57000 Petaling Jaya, Selangor And also, I am not a Sports fan, but it’s always good to give yourself a tid bit of fresh air. Or I just love pronouncing it as “freshair”. 
You know where sports bring people together. Sports is also important in bringing good health. In Selangor, it’s not just a place filled with Sports location, but Selangor itself is famous for hosting and sponsoring Sporting activities. I think one of those that I sounds most interesting in the website was: Flying Fox and Abseiling. Location: Pisang Waterfalls near the Karak Highway Don’t ask me why it’s called Pisang Waterfalls okay? Maybe the Waterfalls there really grow bananas. Also, Selangor Has More… OPPORTUNITIES. Whether it’s personal or business growth, Selangor offers a wide range of Opportunities. 
Here’s my unsuccessful attempt in looking rich. No, I ain’t rich. It’s just 1 bucks. You’ve to experience Selangor yourselves to know the Opportunities you can get out of here. My pick? No exact, but hit me up at alvinkok_2@hotmail.com when you do get opportunities. I’ll be happy. HAHA CULTURE: In a diverse country like Malaysia, Selangor offers great cultural values and traditional differences which shows the uniqueness of Malaysia. We celebrate everything and anything. It may sound ugly and weird, but we really do. We are happy for each other. And that’s what it’s all about. Check out when I say we really do celebrate for one another: 
Notice the dots on our foreheads? We were celebrating Deepavali and I thought it was pretty fun and nice to do! All in all, Selangor covers all aspect of LIFE. It gives me pride to say that I am from Selangor. What more do you want in a country? or even in a State? It’s all in here. Again, this blog post is submitted as an entry to Tourism Selangor Writing Competition. I hope it helps you in making Selangor your next home or your best tourist destination. =)
Jelita Gala Night
This is a long over-dued post. I need to get my buttock to start moving and to post up all the pending or over due post. In my attempt to make my blog more popular, I’ve decided to feature people. This time, I chose to feature some self-obsessed people whom attended a gala night with my parents. Jelita was a Malay magazine which actually worked with Alfio Rado.
If you wanted a cool stage lighting effect, this is one example. I thought the lightings were brilliant and was very cleverly done. And the lighting manager’s role was clearly well done. The effects of the night brought out the atmosphere of a high class dinner, despite the hall which was not well maintained.
This was one of the picture I decided to feature. I told you, it’s my attempt to gain more popularity on the blogsphere. I’ve decided not to be selfish but to share and feature people too. In a good way. Haha.
This girl which did one of the performances blew my mind and my eyes, and whatever you want to call it. She CAN REALLY SING.
How can Alvin not talk about food right, here’s the menu.
Some souvenirs and chocolates. 😛
Some famous hot artists who was there to model and speak. Erra Fazira was one of the gorgeous one, Marsha from Akademi Fantasia too was pretty awesome. The rest I weren’t too sure.
Another attempt of shamelessness. Haha. Kidding.
This is real shamelessness, it was a brand new camera at that time, so they were playing with features. How I became the model? Don’t ask me. I don’t have guides on How To Be A Model.
She came up once again to entertain and mesmerise. Pretty awesome stuffs. And this is one of the best STOMP performances, or Drum Performances for a Dinner Night, Gala Night, Event or whatever you call it. Was pretty fascinating – the beats, the movements and the tunes.
I mean, giving all the noisy bands a break, this would be a perfect idea to use for a great prelude and opening, right?
Flashback of Randomness
I was just figuring that I’d want to be taking a break from my routine blogging style and bring you some flashback which I evidently remembered that I did not post them up here. These are mostly random shots from everywhere (not exactly: just 3 locations). I thought I’d just post them up, and maybe you can make a script or story through these pictures? What say you? First thing’s first, learn magic stunts and magic show on my blog. It’ has successfully fooled Jiahuei Chong, with my Godfather’s step-by-step magic. You wanna learn step-by-step magic, you can holla me. LOL.
And she still got so amazed with the simple tricks, just at Old Town White Coffee. 
Next up was something we did quite a while ago, Buffet Steamboat at Yuen, Sunway. A gathering of a bunch of 10 people in 1 table, simply to have loads of funn!
Featuring her again, Jiahuei Chong:
The Lilian Lim:
The Jessie Loh:
The Onion Kung:
Yuen’s has a pretty wide range of food I’d say. How’s the food? I thought it was okay, but the fact that you have a wide range of selection and eat-all-you-can buffet. I think that’s pretty awesome. It has long queues too. Pre-book if you wanna enter. Worth a try, if you’ve never been. Here’s really how random people party! ___________________________________________________________________________ Business Hours: Around 5.30pm to 11pm
Location: Restoran Yuen Buffet Steamboat (At Shop lots opposite Sunway Pyramid) 32A-1, Jalan PJS 8/6, Mentari Plaza, Bandar Sunway, 46150 Petaling Jaya, Selangor (map)

ROCK ALOHA 2011
This was an event held in January. I thought it was pretty successful. If you are looking for youth ministry ideas or events; this is definitely one of the most successful thematic youth event I’ve attended. The idea was a launching event to kick off the year. So we thought of calling it ALOHA which meant HELLO, i think. =D Dress code was obviously Hawaian ; refreshments was definitely some pizzas. It was a wet-party. Some of the girls decided to pose and be beautiful for the few seconds.
It was then a great time of worship. How can we kick off a youth ministry without WORSHIP?
And here, we go to the rooftop for some awesome games and ice-breakers. We had 2 big pineapples as decorations. I think this is the biggest pineapple I’ve ever seen in my life.
I WAS NOT STRIPPING. I am serious.
Some shots with Sher Lin; she’s one awesome girl! Now that she’s in JB, her presence is dearly missed obviously. 😉
Don’t ask me how I got into this picture, somehow I got in.
The war begun. Throwing balloons; protecting by just leaves and rubbish bags. No joke!
Throwing coloured pebbles into different tupperwares. I thought this was a fantastic idea. Looks pretty interesting, no?
Here we are, throwing, tossing or whatever you call it?
Here’s the best idea of them all. We gathered them in the centre asking them to do a dance and pause when the music comes. So, they were happily dancing away. No one would have expected rain would fall, right? =D
Here, they were asked to PAUSE. So, PAUSE.
Spot anything amiss here? We were up there raining them with water balloons.
And comes more, the rain. We sprayed water via the pipe. They were running all over for shades. Some were really wet.
See the water effects? =D
Don’t you just love their expressions? This is one of the fun, catchy, up-to-date youth events that can be done regardless where you are. Pretty fun and easy to handle as well for youth ministries. =D
SEX VIDEO INVOLVING OUR TOP OPPOSITION POLITICIAN (2011)
Video has been removed. This is the video where it was claimed that Malaysia’s Top Opposition Politician was involved. It is not the full video uploaded by “thepowercam”. NewStraitsTimeOnline says this:
KUALA LUMPUR: A video clip, believed to be part of the controversial Datuk T sex video, has been uploaded to YouTube. The clip, which runs for one minute and 47 seconds, is said to show the start of the more than 20-minute video originally shown to media at Carcosa Seri Negara on March 21 2011.
The black-and-white video has no audio, and shows three people in what appears to be a hotel room. Two are male, and one female. The video was uploaded to YouTube today by a user called ‘thepowercam’. As at 5pm, it was the only video uploaded by the user, and has been viewed 311 times.
You be the judge on Who’s Who and What’s What. I made no comments and will not make any. How about YOU dropping some comments?

LIVE IN KUALA LUMPUR – UP CLOSE WITH SWITCHFOOT 2011
I guess many fans have been waiting for this to happen for 2 years or so. Switchfoot is back LIVE IN KL in 2011.
San Diego-based rock band Switchfoot will return to Malaysia on May 1st as part of their 2011 tour to support their latest album, "Hello Hurricane". If you missed their show at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in 2008, this is your chance to witness one of the best live shows in Malaysia! Hello Hurricane was recorded by the band and produced by renowned hip hop bassist and producer Mike Elizondo, known for his work with the likes of Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Pink, Maroon 5 and Fiona Apple. “I first met Mike through Sean Watkins (of Nickel Creek) and we had a jam session together in LA,” remembers Foreman. “We felt like old friends right away.” The result is Hello Hurricane, which follows the band’s 2006 studio album Oh! Gravity and last year’s era-ending Columbia Records compilation, The Best Yet. “It was exciting to work with someone from Mike’s background and to take some different approaches to rock music,” adds Butler. “He definitely helped us push the music in some new directions.” “Absolutely,” nods Foreman in agreement. “We saw a chance to reinvent ourselves with Mike. Good songs can be played in many different ways and still add up. For me, that meant tearing things apart a little bit and, as a result, Hello Hurricane has some of the most aggressive tones we’ve ever had when it comes to guitar and drums.” The album’s driving and urgent “Mess of Me” – with its personal declaration of independence, as Foreman passionately announces to the world that “I wanna spend the rest of my life alive!” – powerfully demonstrates the edge behind the new tones. Not content to settle into a single groove, the band moves from the high flying album opener, “Needle and Haystack Life,” to songs like the stirring “Always” and the sweetly soaring “Your Love is a Song,” which – by its very nature – cries out for many waving hands illuminated by a blue cell phone glow. The anthemic, riff fueled “This is the Sound,” with its utterly timely generational themes, finds Foreman spitting, “This is the sound from the discontented mouths of a haunted nation!” The “Hello Hurricane” title track is even more poignant when it comes to the band’s perspective on themselves and the world around them. “I’m not talking about ‘Rock You Like a Hurricane,’” says Foreman with a wink before turning reflective. “There is a real despair that I see when we travel around the country… and it’s music that people turn to in a time like this. I wanted to reach out to those people with song.” “For the last decade or so, we’ve been a rock band that really thrives off that interaction with the crowd,” states Butler. “Our motivation for playing music in the first place was a desire to connect with people in a deeper way.” Out of this connection the band’s renowned live show has developed an incredibly loyal following both here in the states and abroad. All About Switchfoot:
Switchfoot – comprising Jon Foreman (vocals/guitar), Tim Foreman (bass), Chad Butler (drums), Jerome Fontamillas (keys/guitar) and Drew Shirley (guitar) – has sold over 4.4 million albums in its career. Founded in San Diego, CA in 1996, Switchfoot released three independent records before its breakthrough album, 2003’s The Beautiful Letdown, which was certified multi-Platinum. Each of the band’s subsequent studio albums – 2005’s Nothing Is Sound, 2006’s Oh! Gravity and 2009’s Hello Hurricane – debuted in the Top 20 of The Billboard 200 and elicited critical acclaim. The Best Yet, the group’s first-ever greatest hits collection, was released in November of 2008. Switchfoot has been touring extensively in support of Hello Hurricane and has recently appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” In addition to StandUp For Kids, the band has partnered with Habitat for Humanity, the ONE Campaign, To Write Love on Her Arms and numerous other charities. There’s apparently 10% Early Birds discounts from 1st-5th April. LIMITED tickets only. Tickets will be on sale beginning 1st April 2011 at AirAsiaRedtix , ROCK Corner, Victoria Music Outlets
Don’t miss out this opportunity to rock up close with Switchfoot! Brought to you by Jupiter Projects. Here’s the location map to: Dewan Mutiara (4th Floor Kompleks Mutiara), Jalan Ipoh, KL

Happy 5th Birthday Twitter
You know I am always slower than many others, so, hence this blog about Twitter’s 5th Birthday recently. I’ve always wanted to do posts which affect people and mentions people. So I told myself that I need to get my hands dirty and really put in some hard work. And with all the below, please also know that it is of my own opinions and does not represent any corporation or conglomerates. If you think I’ve prolly missed out your name or Twitter account, I hereby apologise. Leave me a comment la! But it’s quite amazing how some people still asks “What is Twitter?” though I received these questions less often these days.
In the past short five years, Twitter has reporting having 200+ million users (and bots) and a market valuation of $8 – 10 billion. It is also mentioned that Twitter will continue to change how we discover and interact. Also, to shape culture and the nature of relationships. Fast Company gathered the numbers and have came into the conclusion below:
It took 3 years, 2 months and 1 day to hit 1 billion Tweets. Now it only takes 1 week for Twitter to syndicate 1 billion Tweets — although most of them lately will probably include mentions of Charlie Sheen, Rebecca Black, or Justin Bieber. In February 2011, daily Tweets averaged 140 million (140 FTW) almost 3x the 50 million Tweets sent every day this time last year. On March 11th in the wake of Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami, Tweets flew to 177 million. On New Year’ Day 2011, 4 seconds after passing midnight in Japan, a new Tweets Per Second (TPS) record was set at 6,939. While the exact number of users is elusive, Twitter reports that 572,000 accounts were created on March 12, 2011. 460,000 new accounts were created each day on average in February 2011. Mobile use of Twitter is booming, growing 182% in the last year.
Anyways, my point here is that if you are a new twitter-er or a quiet one, I’m trying to be an awesome guy here to help you out and to expand your horizons. HAHAHA! Just kidding. But, here are some people I follow and I think you should follow too. They are either brilliant, famous, popular or a nobody. If you are listed, put yourself into one of those category. If you think you are in the first 3 category, then YOU’RE SHAMELESS as I am. 😛 OF COURSE, ALL IN ALL, YOU’VE TO FOLLOW MY RANTINGS at @alvinkok_2. That’ll bring you a long long way!
Basically, the list above are people whom I’ve been following which I think has help me know more about the world. Like I said, this is a personal “follow list”, which may or may not left out deserving or undeserving people. Follow at your own risk. At least, to me, these are the people I think you should follow on Twitter. I realised by doing a list like this, I’ve kinda unfollowed quite a number of people who stopped tweeting too. Tell me if you agree to this list by leaving me a comment! Love hearing from you.
