I won the Carlsberg Christmas Tree Contest

Remember the contest held by Carlsberg that I blogged about previously? Click here to read the post.

Well, guess what? I won the contest!!! Whoot~

I received a call from Andrew from Carlsberg yesterday informing that I've won the contest. So I'll be having my very own party with 50 friends in the exclusive lounge of Carlsberg!!! How cool is that??? And the FHM Girl Next Door's Finalists will be there too. If you're a guy, be jealous, be very jealous! Haha.

Check out the screen shot below.

1182 Trinkets!!! 1188 ft high!!! Whoot~

You'd think it's a small number huh? And that I won damn easily. Your head. Try imagining 4 tabs opened, taking turns to load the application in Facebook, then try imagining at least 1 hour per day, non-stop ONLY playing the application without multitasking for at least 7 days!!!

Ya, that's how much time I've spent just to win the contest.

And I don't have that many friends in my Facebook, so I borrowed my friend's Facebook account, and logged in to hang her friends on my tree. WTF. LOL.

Anyway, I have 50 invites, and I've already filled up bout 20. I'm on the spree of giving away invitations right now. So make sure you check your Twitter direct message, all your emails, as well as your phone for my invitation.

I will only call those that I'm close to if I have yet to receive their confirmation details by tonight. Carlsberg needs the details of my guests, which includes full name, I/C number, and phone number. So reply ASAP!

Await my invitation everyone!!! Hooray~!

It's my last week at work

Everyone, Merry Belated Christmas! I thought I should've done the Merry Christmas post like everyone else did, but i just didn't have the time or the heart.

Then I went to a few blogs and noticed that alot of other bloggers has already updated their Christmas celebration. I didn't really celebrate Christmas much. or should I say, I celebrated, but I took really really lil photos.

Lately the camera's being a bitch, and I'm looking worst as day passes. Seriously no mood to take photos edi. =.="

One great news to share, it's my last week for my industrial training at MMC Oil and Gas Engineering Sdn Bhd this week. =) The reason I haven't been updating at all bout my work and what I have been doing for the past 3 months is coz I'm bound to a contract to not reveal any company project's info. Oh well, it's nothing you would wanna know anyway. Just engineering, oil, pipelines, formulas and reports. Add them up yourself.

2009 is ending soon. Should I write a post about my year 2009 and my new year's resolutions for 2010? I think not. Nothing good came out of 2009. It flew by just like that. Saddening.

Anyway, I got a Christmas eve + Yuki's 21st Birthday celebration post coming up, along with how I spent my Christmas night. If only I have more time. Promise will update bout them asap now that the closing date for the Carlsberg Christmas Tree Contest is already today, I don't need to go home and hang my friends onto the tree anymore. Will I win? We'll see. =)

Solution to feeling ugly

Feeling ugly? Do you get upset or down whenever you look into the mirror, wishing that if only you could change a lil bit of you here and there, then you'll look nicer? Don't fret, beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder, and truthfully speaking, it is even more important that you do not see yourself as being ugly, or else others would think so too.

Here's some tips for you if you're lacking that confidence.

Smile all the time. It actually helps you from getting depressed by being too obsessed with your "ugliness". Everyone look the greatest when they smile, even when they have not so perfect teeth. When you smile, your eyes smiles too. They'll automatically sparkle and make you look more attractive. Being happy is a beauty by itself.

Practice an open minded attitude. You are only as ugly as you think you are. Having low self confidence coz you think you are "ugly" makes you have that "why bother" attitude. Which is really bad. If you wake up everyday thinking, "Why should I even bother? I'm ugly.", you've already given up and lost the battle. Being afraid that people will call you ugly isn't an excuse for not trying to look better. Keep up the positive attitude and you will glow from within.

Be polite to yourself. Do you walk up to a stranger and say "Hi, wow... You look really ugly."? No you don't. So stop bashing yourself every time you look into the mirror. Treat your reflection as a real person, offer help at places you deemed not perfect or in your language, "ugly". If you don't like what you see, change it.

After accomplishing these few mentally changes, it's time for some physicals one. Learn to groom yourself better. Read magazines, watch tv, visit the beauty parlor or even get advice from friends who really care. Maintain your cleanliness and make sure you look presentable no matter where you go, even if you're home alone. Don't let your hair look messy or out of place even when you're all alone. It's the battle between you and yourself, so don't give yourself any chance to feel "ugly".

Next step is to just maintain the above tips and take your time to let everything sink in. Confidence doesn't take 1 night to be built especially when you have been downgrading yourself for years. So maintain the above tips and just let yourself get used to it.

After you feel a lil better bout yourself, it's time for a makeover. Change your hair, your dressing style and have make up on whenever necessary. This makeover need not be something huge or expensive, a small makeover will do wonders as it'll boast your confidence even higher. Having something new makes you feel refreshed and brand new. If you feel better, then you'll look better.

Last step of all, be open to friendship. Meet new people and make new friends. Be confident that you are not ugly. Even if you are naturally born with defects, you are not ugly. You are beautiful because you are you. And if anyone says anything otherwise, SCREW THEM!

We're just different, that's all.

Ok this is a very random piece of rant that I must blog about now coz I'm just kinda hot up right now.

Was chatting with a guy I just got to know on gtalk moments ago.

Then I was curious and asked how come he has the time to chat with me instead of chatting with his girl.

He said she was busy and has work but they still message each other on and off. So I get it.

Then I proceeded into telling him my point of view, which is something like, if I'm in a relationship, I wouldn't bother to go online and chat with other people. Even if the bf is busy and is not chatting/texting with me, I wouldn't go online to chat with some other people/friends, and would just do my own stuff.

Then he just miraculously accuses me of telling him off to not continue flirting with me. (I haven't the slightest clue that we were flirting in the first place.)

Fine. Then he assumes that because I choose not to chat with other people when my bf is busy, means that I have no life. And then added on that I will learn someday and I have some growing up to do, so it is "never mind", quoted from him.

If that wasn't enough, he just had to add on saying I need to build my own personal space and I need to have my own life. I don't know about you but to me the whole sentence was translated as "go get a life".

Just because I choose to not chat with some other people/friends over the internet while the bf is busy means I have no life? I did not text the bf like every few other minutes nor did I disturbed him in anything that he is doing. I'm just not the kind of girls that is into small talks. If I can't gain anything from you, I don't wanna spend my time chatting with you over the internet while I have my own stuff to do.

Now you're gonna be all judgmental saying I only chat with people coz I wanna gain something from them. As if you're not? Gain something not as in material goods but it can be in any form. Something could be a friendship. Like I said, if I'm not interested to make new friends, why would I wanna go online and chat with people who always ends up in asking "Can I bring you out for a dinner or movie?" when they hardly even know me? And as for my real live friends, isn't it enough that we talk so much crap in real live that we still need to chat over the internet? Or maybe that's what you people do, IM your friends and asks them if they had their lunch. Sorry, but that's not me.

Just because I think differently and choose to act differently does not mean that you are right or that I'm wrong. We're just different people who thinks differently. So please drop the "suggestions" or "critics" about how I live my life and stop acting like you are any better than me. We are just different, and that is all there is to it.

*p/s: I've got no bf right now, I was just merely trying to state my opinion IF I were to be in a relationship.

Drinks with the guys at Solaris

Okay I have literally nothing to blog bout edi, as in I got no more outings or events to blog about. Unless you guys are interested in me talking crap again. Suddenly I feel that my blog is so boring. =.=

I went to this Friendster Re-launch at Times Square's Moli Cafe bout 2-3 weeks ago but I have yet to receive any photos from the other bloggers and seems that not many uploaded the photos to Facebook as well. That's why, no updates bout it. I guess it's just weird posting Friendster related photos in Facebook. LOL. Or maybe Facebook recognizes all Friendster related items as spam!!! LOL. *joking*

Anyway Christmas is just around the corner. What would you guys be doing? No doubt the couples will be out dating, but how bout the singles? I'm pretty upset coz all my girl friends are in a relationship and I don't wanna spend Christmas with guy friends who are not my boyfriend. =.= It just feel pretty awkward. I somehow think that Christmas is a romantic season, even more romantic that Valentine's. Sien-ness.

Just some random photos from last 2 weeks I think. Went for some drinks with lotsa crazy friends after attending my foundation friend (Yih Wenn)'s 21st BD party. It was really fun coz almost all of them ended up pretty tipsy, and it was just hilarious. =p We even went for supper after that till 3-4am? I forgot. LOL.

There were more people but they were busy drinking. XD

I am currently stalking this hip-hop dude in Facebook, so he says. =.=

Haha putting up this photo coz I think I look nice even though the other 2 people in the photo don't look nice but I DON'T CARE!

And I was not drunk or tipsy ok? I was kinda hot hence the red face.

And an early Merry Christmas to all of you from me!!! ^^

Greyish Camwhore

These are the photos that I took the other day. I did the sorta wavy curls, something kinda dolly. I had fake lashes on as well as light smokey eye. I liked the way I looked, very nice. LOL. *perasan*

Anyway, I didn't manage to take much photos coz I was busy taking a shot for my new header (which I have yet to come up with a design). Email me or leave a comment if you are interested to help me out with the header design? =)

Nice? Like that kinda blurry fantasy effect? And also the saturated color of the photo? Haha. tell me what you think. If there's lotsa comments for this post, I might post up another photoshop skill post just like the one I did previously. =)

Carlsberg Christmas Tree Contest

So it was just the other day that I got the privilege of going to the headquarters of Carlsberg Malaysia in Shah Alam with a bunch of other friends, who were all bloggers as well.

Basically we were invited for a simple hanging out session thanks to Carlsberg.

The place was so uper super duper awesome! We were in this exclusive lounge of Carlsberg which to me kinda look like heaven of beer. The design of the whole place was just magnificent, it was like being surrounded with gold. Think I'm bluffing? Take a look at the photos below for yourself. Taken by my own camera!

They have a built-in shelve with all the Carlsberg products.

I especially like this design of their shelves, simple yet classy.

See their bar counter? Awesome or just awesome???

See the lightings on the Carlsberg? Like shinning gold!!!

This is in the center of the bar, really clean and sheek layout.

To have us in that merry merry Christmas mood, they had a beautiful Christmas tree too!

How can I not take photo with the place right???

And how to not camwhore with Carlsberg?!

Copykate and I had the awesomenest time together that night. =p

The whole gang. Carlsberg was like a charm that brought all of us together. =)

All of us had so much fun that night even though it was for a mere 2 hours plus hang out session. We were laughing and enjoying ourselves with Carlsberg, not to mention chilling in a luxurious design lounge.

Brownie's photos, mega failed.

Haha, I said I promised a photoshoot of Brownie right? Do you know why I have yet to do a photoshoot of her? Not that I didn't try, she's just too god damn active. =.= Every shot I take of her, she keeps moving. She just can't sit still.

And FYI, my camera sucks. It can't take a decent picture of a moving object, and if I use flash, Brownie look like some horrified zombie wtf.

This is Brownie with her chew toy.

Don't play play k? This squeky chew toy cost me almost RM30. WTF. Mcdonald's x3. And she was afraid of it at first, and then slowly grew on it. =.=

This is her again.

You have no idea how hard it is to shoot the above 2 photos. She keep moving non stop!!! Arghhhh... Dulan. Pretty face but so so so so not guai... Why can't she learn from me and camwhore like a sifu? =.=

See? Attempt to camwhore with her - mega failed.

And if you look closer at the photo you will see that she is actually trying to bite my hand. =.=" She keeps biting my hand lor... When I'm watching tv she would just run from afar then build up speed and leaps on me on the sofa just to bite my hand or lick my mouth. WTF. And just last night she bit my butt. =.=" I ran around the whole house chasing after her, and she thought I was playing tag with her. =.="

Major swt.

Now she act shy pulak.

Damn wtf. I used flash on her once and then after that everytime I point the camera at her, she would lie on the floor and cover her eyes up like in the above photo. =.=" But at least she stay still this way. LOL.

I name this, Attack of the Brownie.

Guess what she was trying to do. She was trying to climb on me to attack my camera. =.=

Brownie is really a naughty girl. The other day Chris Tock and Copykate sent me home from the Carlsberg's advertorial meet up and somehow Brownie managed to run out of the house. And she went way out of the main gate as well. I had to chase after her in bare foot, and when she saw me coming she ran. I wonder why does she thinks that whenever people run after her means we're playing tag with her. =.=

Brownie is really getting bigger. She likes to stand on her back legs and put her front paws on us, meaning she would be in a standing position. When we first got her, her paws would only reach my knee. Now her paws can easily reach my butt. And when she jumps, she can reach my breasts level. WTF. Lately she could even rest her mouth on the dining table to sniff for food. I cannot imagine how big she would be by the time she turns adult.

I need serious help in photographing Brownie before she becomes fully adult. =( Any volunteers?

*Another extra thing bout Brownie, if you bark like a dog at her, she gets really confused and stops whatever that she was doing and would just sit on the floor, tilt her head on one side, and look at you (with the confused look). LOL.

Prize giving ceremony at Teeq Restaurant

Read more bout the prize giving ceremony here.

Ok this is a late post coz I've been really busy lately plus I just got the photos on Friday and I needed some time to process the photos.

This actually happened on the 8th of December, last Tuesday. As you all know I won the Samsung Jet phone from the "If I'm a Storm Warrior" post. So EON Bank had a prize giving ceremony held at Teeq Restaurant which was located at the roof of Lot10.

This is how I look for the day.

I had a very bad hair day that day, my hair was like all sticky and wet even though I just washed my hair that morning and my hair was already dry. I took freaking miserable photos all because of my lousy hair. Sigh...

So I met up with Cayenne and Tallboyz and we enter Teeq Restaurant.

Teeq Restaurant, right beside Rootz Club.

The mini stage set up in the restaurant.

These are the mini swords set which were one of the gifts about to be given out that day.

I especially like this picture. (from my camera!!!)

While waiting for everyone else to arrive, we camwhored.

This is how the pic would look like. =p

They served lotsa drinks and I kinda tasted everyone of them. LOL. There were press there so during the prize giving ceremony we didn't get to snap much photos coz we were needed on stage so that the press could photograph us. Wonder if I would appear in the newspaper??? LOL.

Then after I got the Samsung Jet, it was makan time. I was actually more looking forward to makan time than getting the phone. LOL.

The food they served.

I've never been to Teeq Restaurant but I've heard of them. There were a few reviews bout them saying they served Asian cuisine which made the place very common, plus their table seats were very far apart, thus wasting space, and that the service was rather poor. But based on my experience on that day, I thought it was pretty fine. =)

We had to dine outside at first coz the press conference was still going on inside. The view outside was kinda nice. Lotsa greens which we don't usually get to see on the streets of KL. It was kinda humid but it was still acceptable.

My 1st round. =p

Me and Cayenne

Then Rayden from EON Bank came over to our table and offered us if we would like to proceed inside to continue our brunch/lunch. Then Rayden offered to be my Ah Sei (servant) by carrying all my stuff back into the restaurant including my plate of food and drink. LOL. But then I ended up being Tallboyz's Ah Sei coz he needed help with his camera. XD

This is my 2nd round.

Me with the bread.

Their beef lasagna was awesome, I loved it!!! I liked the bread too but there's this big disappointment that came along with it, the restaurant has no butter or whatsoever??!!!! WTF!!! How to eat bread with no butter!!! T___T

See Cayenne busy texting and Tallboyz busy eating. LOL.

That's Rayden in white and KarVinn in black, and Cayenne then Tallboyz.

KarVinn came in representative of his friend who was unable to come and collect his prize, which was a pair of Storm Warriors' Sword Pendrive.

Oh before we left, we took a picture holding the replica of the Storm Warrior's sword too. =)

The Wind's sword and Cloud's sword.

Many thanks to EON Bank for the wonderful experience, and the food of coz. LOL. We had lotsa fun minus the waiting. =p But it was still very nice coz we had the opportunity to meet more people. =)

So the ceremony ended at bout 1pm and it was still early. I wanted to head to Pavilion and watch a movie by myself at first but then I got an offer from someone to go all the way to Sunway to visit his office. Well, it beats being alone or going home that early, so off I went.

Me in the office, exhausted.

You'd think that after being at work almost everyday the last place I would wanna go is to an office. That's what I thought too. No idea why I went there also. =.=" As I said, it beats being alone or going home that early. LOL.

The "boss" of the office that I went to, Louis.

Shitness, I'm not sure how to spell his name coz people normally just call him Voonie, coz his surname is Voon. Hahahaha. Anyway, I went to his office just to fall asleep on the table and him playing with my new Samsung Jet. =.="

Luckily it wasn't soon after that he could leave and we had dinner then I'm back home again, in my bed. LOL. I was really exhausted coz the walking distance from KL Sentral's monorail to KL Sentral's KTM has greatly increased. WTF. It's not easy walking in heels ok???

Anyway, we got out Storm Warriors movie screening tickets during the prize giving ceremony.

The tickets.

Each of us in the cinema got 1 can of coca-cola drink and a small popcorn as courtesy from GSC. Such nice treatment. =)

Thanks GSC, EON Bank and Nuffnang. =)

*p/s: The Samsung Jet phone is really nice to use!!! ^^
