Posted by IcedNyior on April 22, 2008  |  No Comments

As you know, Hitz.FM in collaboration with Random Alphabets and United Colours of Malaysia decided to host a freeze in conjunction with World Earth Day. Participants were required to freeze in positions that created awareness about the state of our earth today such as pollution, etc etc. You can read more about it in my previous post here.

These are the videos from the event:

Freeze For World Earth Day

Posted by IcedNyior on April 17, 2008  |  15 Comments

After all that buzz created by the KL Freeze @ Pavilion the other day, Hitz.FM requested that another freeze be organized in conjunction with World Earth Day so here are the details:

Venue : Sunway Pyramid
Time : 8.00pm or 2000 hours
Date : 20th April 2008 (Sunday)

And here’s a (because some might say that its useless and waste of time) REALLY GOOD REASON to do it:

The average person globally uses 2255 Watts of power, or a little less than 23 x100 Watt light bulbs (www.wattzon.org). Thats wasting a lot of power. Now imagine that we freeze the daily activities of as many people as possible for only 5 minutes, then we’ll be saving a lot of power.
If you’re at home and can’t join us at Sunway Pyramid, no problem. Just switch of all your power at home and FREEZE, in total darkness for 5 minutes.
If you’d like to know more about conserving energy log onto www.wattzon.org
That’s where we got educated.

So for those who missed it on the 13th, this is how you do it.

1. Go and synchronize your clocks on RandomAlphabets.com to make sure everyone freezes at the right time.
2. Be at Sunway Pyramid well before 8pm. Go about minding your own business. Most people would be congregated at the concourse or designated main area so spread yourselves out for maximum impact.
3. Sharp at 8pm – FREEZE!!! (Be creative with your poses, you’ll be viewing them on Youtube for ages to come)
4. When it’s time to UN-FREEZE, if you feel like cheering for a Freeze well done by all means go ahead. If you feel like walking away casually as if time did stand still for 5 minutes and consequently puzzle the guy who was staring at you, go ahead. As YOU please.
5. Mingle. Enjoy the rest of your evening. (As earth friendly as possible)

Blog back to normal

Posted by IcedNyior on April 17, 2008  |  2 Comments

As much as I loved the old Gossip City theme by Elena G. of DesignDisease.Com, it was time to look for a new theme because I found that the previous theme was rather slow to load. Probably because it had a lot of graphics. So I deleted lots of unused plugins and also installed wp-cache.

Which was just in time because on the very next day, one of my blog post was linked in an article by TheStarOnline and bombarded with so many hits. In fact, until today I’m still getting hits from that the star.

As you can see from the picture above. I usually get an average of 60-100 visitors a day depending on what I write about and if I ping PPS or visit lots of blogs. I had about 1k hits on the 10th because that was the post about Sufiah Yusof Video interview. Then on the 14th, I had a whopping 5000 plus hits.

Its funny because seriously I just wrote the post because I was sad I couldn’t make it and found the videos and reactions of people who were clueless about the KL Freeze very funny so I decided to share it. Even the word ‘pavilion’ in the URL is mistyped because I was sleepy when I wrote it.

I guess its back to normal visitors as of now. I hope that some of the visitors who came that day found my blog interesting and hopefully will come back again.

Back to the orginal paragraph about my blog being slow, I decided to change my theme to a lighter one with less graphics. Hopefully this time its faster yea? :D

p/s: Im going to a pre-screening of the movie The Forbidden Kingdom at 10am in the morning so more on that later! Tak jadi. long story

Videos of KL Freeze @ Pavillion

[Newest update (17 Apr) : Join the Freeze for World Earth Day this Sunday @ Sunway Pyramid. More details here.]

A freeze is basically like a big group of people freezing at a predetermined place and time. The place is usually given at the last minute. Its a flash-mob kind of thing but is just a clean prank.

Why? Why not?

“Where human beings get together to do something in unison, without speeches or reference to their age, colour, sex, beliefs and background.”

The meeting place was at Lot 10 (yea i know coz I was in the facebook group :P and was totally planning on going) then the freeze place was Pavillion and the time was 3.35pm. Some videos of the KL Freeze in Unision after the jump.
