Paypal Blogger Dinner & South East Asia based site – Paypal Unbound

Posted by IcedNyior on December 13, 2009  |  2 Comments

Well I couldn’t make it to the Paypal PowerUp event on Saturday (not that there was any space anyway, read the whole fiasco/drama here), so the guys over at Text100 invited me to a Paypal Blogger’s dinner on the 10th of December at Dubrovnik Restaurant, Solaris. It was a small affair – dinner with the bloggers and people from Paypal to discussion features and other issues.

I was a tad late because I had to rush from work and Fridays are quite difficult for me to escape early. Manage to find the place thanks to Nahri frm Text100’s directions. But I came just in time before anything started. Was introduced to Mr Mario Shiliashki, the GM of Paypal SEA, Geert Desager, Senior Marketing Manager and Amy, Head of Cross Border Asia.

P1 W1max ‘Wiggy’ USB Modem Preview

Posted by IcedNyior on April 8, 2009  |  22 Comments

P1 has been the forefront of providing wireless internet access in Malaysia. They first came out with a wireless modem for the desktop – a (roughly) 5x5x2 inch black modem.

Noami from P1 (packet One) kindly invited a few bloggers for a preview of the new ‘Wiggy’ USB Modem – two days ahead of the official (invite only) media launch tomorrow (Thursday, 9 Apr) at Upstairs, The Loft.

It started around 8.10pm with firstly a short speech by the CEO of P1 W1Max, Mr Michael Lai, who said “if you have problems, don’t hesitate to whack us”. LOL! Then by the tech guy – sorry I forgot your name – who explained briefly about how they started and what they finally came up with.

So they showed us their USB Modem. Its a small (roughly) 2 inches by 4 inches modem with a “flip” USB that you can plug straight into your laptop. What I really like is no wires and the fact that the USB part is adjustable/moveable.

Photos & specs after the jump.

** yea yea, I watched a Malay movie, dont faint. LOL!** tag]

[Picture cilok-ed from CinemaOnline]

I saw Alangz promoting the movie on his status on Yahoo Messenger. So i pon tanya la siapa2 pegi:

alangz: coppp.. most of my friends bukan bloggers tau..
alangz: serindit, cekedess…
me: ada laki lain yg cute2 tak
alangz: delinn blom confirm..
alangz: adaaaaaaaa…….
alangz: hahahhaaa… solo lagi…
alangz: plus me
me::))
alangz: hahahaha
me: u manade solo dah :P
me: hsemate u dtg?
alangz: datang
alangz: and my friends.. 4 org yang solo
me: cute tak?
me: tak cute tamo pegi
alangz: cute…
alangz: hehee… well.. ada 6 org solo.. leh pilihhhh

So with that i decided to pegi tgk that movie :P anyway dah lama tak jumpa serindit ngan cekedess alangz tu dah byk sgt kali jumpa..bosan dah. So i drove down to Mines, got lost a bit reaching that area (its the first time I’ve been to Mines) met up with didit, alangz and his friends. After the movie we went to lepak at a nearby shop, eating and chit chatting.

From top left (clockwise) : Bontot2, group pic, pinggan alangz yg dijilat bersih, Alangz & Coco (jgn jeles ek zure) :P

How was the movie? Honestly, i almost never watch Malay movies in the cinema (I guess this is the third after Baik Punya Cilok and Cicakman) because they suck tend to have many things lacking.

JPB actually has a good and interesting storyline but for some reason, the ‘ghost’ looked more hilarious than scary. Of course there was a lot of use of scary music and haunting scream sound effects.

However thecinematography (cewah i sound like a filming expert) was pretty expected – showing a doorway in the background where something suddenly passes by, the presence of a long-haired thing in the elevator and the over-the-shoulder shot showing a ]ghost crawling on the ground.

Oh and certain scenes of the ghost floating, u can actually see a string :P lol!

[Rating : 1 out of 5 stars]

p/s: Alangz, tak cute pon kawan2 u :P
