You've probably heard from friends or saw a tweet regarding the iPhone 5 coming to Malaysia. And guess what? It is true! You can be the first to experience the all new iPhone 5 with a mere RM200 deposit.

RM200 to secure an

So which telco is offering such an awesome pre-ordering deal? It's none other than Celcom, which happens to be the mobile network that I'm currently using. Okay, so I gave that clue away from my blog post title.

But anyway, the price list isn't out yet but you can still check out information regarding the pre-order that you can make at https://www.bluecube.com.my/prebooking/product/iphone5.

For those who aren't sure what are the new features of the iPhone 5, here are some of it:

• It is using one the latest iOS 6 and A6 chip, which means you are getting amazing performance and graphics up to twice as fast. With battery life to spare.
• The wide 4” Retina display gives you even more to see, and is more vibrant too.
• An 8MP camera which makes you want to ditch your compact camera
• It comes in 16GB, 32GB or 64GB capacity.
• And who can forget your own personal mobile assistant, Siri.

What are you waiting for? You're already having an advantage with this pre-order at just RM200. Don't bother looking up forums and other means of securing your iPhone5. This is the REAL DEAL. Want to know something else? Book now and you will also be invited the LAUNCH of the iPhone 5 where one of you will be one of the FIRST Malaysian to own the iPhone 5(Malaysians who are in US doesn't count alright :P ). Jokes aside, for those who pre-order the iPhone 5 will be invited to the launch.

Head over to Celcom to pre-order yours now. For me, it's a tough decision as my iPhone 4 is still serving me well. For new buyers, I envy you.

Petronas Deepavali 2012 AD and The Star

I haven't updated my blog for quite awhile but  I guess this one sort of pissed me off.

There are some things which I don't understand. I've watched the video. And yes, the ENTIRE video. Catchy tune but I didn't find anything related to Deepavali. That's probably me. However, what I'm pissed is what The Star reported.

Here is a snippet:

First of all, check out the number of DISLIKES. HITS means absolutely nothing.

Positive comments that complements the exhibition?

SUPER GT Round 3 2012 - Day 2 - Pit Walk

Dear readers, I'm sorry....

Roger Ong

I can't think of any fancy title so I guess his name is good enough. Sadly, the faces in the photo are blurred out. Anyway check out the amazing technique, the almighty 1-Hand-Camera-Scooping-Panty-Shooting technique by the brown t-shirt guy. Looks strangely familiar no?

During SUPER GT Round 3 2012, I was pushed aside by Roger Ong because I was blocking his shot. It was a honest mistake, he was behind me and I couldn't see him(like doh). Without any "excuse me" or some sort, he just pushed me. I didn't want to argue with him because I don't want to offend him. Who knows, may be his 20K-30K horny fans will start supporting him and say I was blocking his amazing photos. The sight of him disgusts me and what's worse? He pushed me = contact.

A Worthy Book Indeed

Something caught my eye

A tool for a better health

As a regular runner and gym-goer, I would take note of my weight, BMI and calories burned. I do not have a heart rate monitor though. Great Eastern has introduced the Live Great website which provides daily tips and articles on health related issues as well as wellness tools such as exercise calorie calculator and target heart rate.

The first tool that caught my attention is the Exercise Calorie Calculator. The tool can be found at this link. I think its a great tool for one that doesn't run on a treadmill or track their progress with an ipod/iphone. It's a rough estimation but at least you would know how much calories you've burned.

Here is the link for the main site - https://livegreat.greateasternlife.com/my/welcome.htm.

Have a good week ahead peeps.

I'm Busy. But Why?

It's 11.45pm. I watching JAWS on HBO while trying to spend some time to pen down afew stuff that has been happening lately. I've been neglecting my blog for quite abit. BUT WHY?

So far its about events and stuff so I hope this post will be a little more personal.. About 2 weeks back, my neck was hurting. It may be a muscle strain or something but I left it unattended for 1 week. With the discomfort and mild pain not subsiding after a week, I went to see a Chinese sengseh. Apparently, the root cause wasn't the neck but the shoulder/back area.

How is work you say? Well, what else is new? One word. Busy. I couldn't even make it for the Samsung Galaxy S 3 launch a few weeks back. Nevertheless, I still have my personal time during the weekends. I've been spending time with loved ones and of course, my Wizard in Diablo 3. We all need some fun and laughter right?. Laughter? Back in May, it was a whole month of fun and laughter at PJ Live Arts as lots of shows were installed for Laugh Fest 2012.

I went for Jenhan's BUT WHY on 27th of May, Sunday. As I'm writing this down, I'm kinda asking myself. How do I blog about...comedy stand up show. When it's stand up comedy, most of us might know international ones like Russell Peters, Chris Tucker, Dave Chappelle, Pablo Franciso and many other legendary stand up comedians.

How about Malaysian comedians? We would think about Douglas Lim, Harith Iskandar, Saiful Apek, and the list goes on *Okay I don't know that many* .

iPhone 4's camera rocks right?

So who is Jenhan? No, I'm not here to share about his history but you may check his site at http://www.kuahjenhan.com/

What I want to share is the experience. Is it worth your money? Malaysian comedian wor...funny meh?

Yes, I had bloody good time. I had a pair of tickets but sadly, I went alone as wifey was feeling a little tired. While collecting my ticket, I bumped into a friend who too was gonna watch Jenhan's show. Coincidentally, some of her friends couldn't make it for the show so I sat together with her(and her friends :P ).

I'm not gonna give any spoilers but his jokes revolves around current political situation. Speaking about politics, Ambiga was also at show. I wanted to take a picture with her but in the end, I didn't because everyone else were also queuing up. Harith Iskandar and some other special guests were also present at the show. Everyone was there to support Jenhan; gotta admire their love and support for one another for their passion in this industry.

Good show bro!

I know the show is over but tickets being priced at RM60, RM88 for 2 (early bird) and Buy-1-Free-1 (LIVE Card),  I think it's a steal; especially if you're watching with loved ones. Thanks PJ Live Art for bringing such good comedy acts for us to enjoy. Strategically located at JayaOne, you don't even have to worry about food; before or after any show. It's very convenient as you have lots of cafes and restaurants to choose from; check out the list here.

For more information on upcoming shows and stuff, do check out PJ Live Art and their Facebook Page.

As for Jenhan, if you're reading this bro, how is your karipap? LOL

Hennessy V.S.O.P - The Story

A brand that we all trust

You've seen it. You've heard of it. You've drank it. Hennessy V.S.O.P is one of the best cognac around. To be honest, do you know what the V.S.O.P means? It stands for "Very Superior Old Pale". On 7th October 1817, the future King George  IV of England asked the great French cognac House to supply him with a special cognac; and so the words "Very Superior Old Pale" was born.

It's getting too hot - SUPER GT fever

Mark your calendar, 9th and 10th of June 2012 for the BIGGEST Motorsport Event in Malaysia.

Come Together - Fundraising Event For Alda

Please click to view it in full resolution for details.

Remember my post to share about Pray For Alda Tan?

I haven't been following the FB page for updates but this is the current update from Alda's loved ones.

"UPDATE: 7th May 2012
At 4pm today, the medical team at DSH have done the stem cells procedures on Alda and lets all pray that everything will be a success according to God's will.
My family and I thank all for your prayers and contributions especially the medical team and May God bless all of you in abundance.
Aldwin"

As you can see, Alda's family is still in a pinch as Alda's hospital bill is a running bill(NOT RUNNING AWAY). The hospital bill runs from RM95 to RM300 per day depending on the type of ward Alda is moved to.

Anyway, the concert is a group effort of local musicians, friends, and loved ones to raise funds for Alda. If you would like to make a donation for this cause, details are as follow:

Thanks everyone!

p/s: I know 13th of May is also Mother's day. I too personally have plans but I shall try my best to go for the fundraising event.
