HyppTV Exclusive Bloggers' Party...

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Lets Partayyyy....!!!!

I was invited to HyppTV Bloggers' Party or to be exact was 'selected' among the 30 most creative blog entries *Read Here* to join for the party last Friday which was held at Neo Tamarind, KL *Photo Teaser* Cool huh! Who else but Nuffnang, Thanks Indeed!

My first time at Neo and we almost missed the left turn to the restaurant and luckily they have Valet Service at a nominal fee of only RM8 which I think its a 'must have' there for the convenience of the guests or customers.

As we walked up to the main entrance for registration and warmly greeted by Nuffies, the lovely Ms. Fresh who handed out the TM orange goodie bags to us (you'll definitely notice it later in the pic). Then, I bumped into a 'Pirate' of the 'Tamarind' I suppose.  Next, Elizabeth Swann look-a-like... oh-wow! That's not all, surprisingly a Lady Zoro was there too, later came  "Mad Hatter" from Alice Wonderland. All time fav fairy tale character, Little Red Riding Hood, a bloodsucking 'Countess Dracula' but seriously, she was more to a sweet looking Dracula Lady. Ooooo Lalala...I felt a lil bit underdressed for a moment.

Awesome, the HyppTV team members & some of the bloggers were really dressed for the Partayyy!  I wasn't in any costume that resembles a Hollywood Character neither a Catwoman or Patience Philip as I planned to and  obviously without mask or headgear, nothing extraordinaire but still, it didn't stop me to feel the hype and enjoyed the company of the bloggers.   One of them this sweet girl name Farah Bieber (she's 100% a 'Belieber' no doubts about it &  judging from her nick name as well) we just somehow 'click' & had a great time talking, and taking photos with the friendly TM staff especially the HyppTV product team members.

Me & Farah with Izal Ismail (Channel Act Mgr-TM)  

Thx to him for the informative input on the available Channels'-)

 Oh since my regular partner was away in Sibu last weekend 
My bro aka Boboy accompanied me to the party...

A nice  welcoming cocktail food & drinks,I have to highlight these two refreshing drinks: the Lemongrass and Tamarind Juice. Guess what?! Lemongrass has automatically become my latest favourite drink, luv the flavour so much since the Party! It goes perfectly with the cocktail menu of meatball, bruschetta & schrimp...absolutely CLASSY & COOL!  The Main Course, the touch of Tamarind Thai Cuisine, though most of the chafing dish needed a refill at the time I was queuing for my food but my two fav dishes: the green curry & Tomyam save the day.  Slurrpp...yummy!

Hey..look who's there too? Abg Nara the blog owner of the most popular Beautiful Nara...

Apart from the energetic entertainment from the TM staff band members and The Vice President Group Corporate Comms as the lead singer, I was totally IMPRESSED!  She actually has a good voice, not bad at all.  Also the smooth running of the activities conducted,  the peak of the party,  the "Amazing Race" as they called it was really fun especially the snapshots from the paparazzi with Polaroid!! Everyone was busy completing the 3 given Tasks and getting it stamped by the HyppTV team.

Though I didn't win the Grand Prize or any other prizes in the listed category as usual not  so 'Lucky' and obviously not eligible for the Best Dress.  What's important is  the valuable exposure about HyppTV from 7:00pm till 10:00pm. Suddenly every channels & info become so clear and interesting, VOD (ohh..thats Video on Demand), Live TV & Inter@ctive.  The New Premium Channels, WarnerTV, Universal Channel HD, SyFy Universal, Fox Crime HD, so many others and its creating a lot of hype and already celebrating its ONE year anniversary with 60,000 Hypp Subs! Double Thumbs Up for the fast growing and success.

In fact, in the middle of  writing this blog, my Uncle from Subang just called  to inform us on his new house number..I was like Okay!! You could just text us for that but actually what he really wanted to tell us was, he just got connected with UniFi and HyppTV, that's the exciting part.   A'aha! another subscriber in the family and looks like I'll be the last to have it. TM...please  hear my 'prayers'  do expand your radar to our township as fast as you can. I can't wait to 'party' with my own HyppTV Live from Home!!!

All I can say for now......

please mind the horrible handwriting :-(

Hypp Hypp Horeh ^;^

Dinner wiz InLawz...

My dear in-lawz aka my hubs lovely family came down from AS (Alor Setar) last two Thursdays meaning weeks ago (hooooo lamanya baru nak update..almaklum gambarz baru dapat from Mr.Nephew!). Nway, they stayed at Royal Bintang Damansara throughout the weekend. My SIL & family (without BIL) just came back from Doha and brought her kids & MIL to KL.  I think Royal Bintang is the best choice for them, easy access to e@Curve, Ikano, IKEA & Tesco for food & shopping.

We had dinner together at Secret Recipe @ The Curve...

Its so very important for every married couple to have a good relationship with the in-laws. Show your love, respect & kindness towards your in-laws and accept them as your family.  Trust me, it would be much easier to adapt and try your level best!

Seriously Work...@Pavilion KL

Weeks ago this "Igloo" was at Sunway Pyramid, remember?? No..! Nevermind just click *HERE*  Guess what, last Thursday (a day before the iPad invasion), the same "Igloo" was standing right smack at the very  heart of Pavilion KL (located at the left side of the main entrance which is right opposite of  Expressamente Cafe).

This is what I'm talkin'about...

The grass Platform made it lil bit higher...really nice!

Not only ONE but all THREE...

Wanna see what's inside?

Lets take a look at the other Wellness Hubs..

This Wellness Hubs Campaign is open to public from Thursday, Apr 28 till Sunday, May 1st... Yup! today is the last day.  Go on change your shopping route today to Pavilion...haha. If you feel tired after walking from Sungei Wang to Pavilion you can always drop by to relax  & have a foot massage.....

ehemmm..macam kenal je;-)  

Yeah.. my ex-'Yellowans' Sheem & Maz came by to see me & we had lunch together *dancing mode*...

happy to see them after so long:-(  

Nway, their office at Berjaya Times Square just minutes away from Pavilion..TQ darlings!

Sheem had Salad & Lasagna for Maz, only Hazelnut blended for me *working mode-no appetite* 

besides I had lemon drink from Expressamente earlier....

If you ask me what's the name of each drink...sorry, that's tough!

Its all complicated Italian Coffee & beverage from Expressamente...ahaks;-)

after lunch sempat jugak teman them shopping at Hush Puppies kat sebelah tu...Murah gilerr!!!

The HP SALE also until today ...Hurry, HP lovers!! Seriously worth it but I didn't buy any Maz did;-)

I finished 'work' around 4.30pm...phew! the traffic was pretty smooth before 5pm at the Golden Triangle that day.

  The new Starhill building looking very futuristic now...construction still in progress but 

Sephora is already opened! no need to go to 'Paree' for a body lotion;-)))

Tata...

Savvy Traveller....

When I received this courier mail a few days ago...

I was like hmmm...Port Dickson Resort!! What would that be?? A membership club form or something..? Oh..wow! Its a Gift Certificate for a 2D 1N stay at  Thistle Port Dickson Resort , btw, it was formerly known as Guoman Resort Port Dickson and I've been there once for "Yellow" telco Team Building in 2008.

Nice pool & no people...I LIKE;-)) 

D'Girls - me & my old gang, Sis G (was my roommate), Baze, Naz & Karon..

The Team Building was held at the Eagle Ranch PD for archery & Go-Kart activities - also my 1st time for both;-)

Anyway, back to the Gift Certificate I was actually the weekly WINNER for the travel contest in NST ( New Straits Times - Life & Times section) published on April 7, 2011.  Tried to check NST online but zero found so  last resort is to find the hardcopy (newspaper) itself...Where?!

NST's Head Office at Jalan Riong, Bangsar....they have a newspaper 'archive' room located at their printing store area (I'm not sure what exactly it is called but you can see tonnes of newspapers at every corner there) Just mention the date you want and pay RM1.20 only! Fantastic!! 

Here it is....

Yup, It was the write up on my Auckland City, New Zealand trip in late Jan-Feb.  I submitted my story through email on February 27, 2011 three days after I found the 'Savvy Traveller' Entry Form in NST during my flight to Kota Kinabalu (quietly took that particular sheet out, folded it & slipped it into my handbag..hahaha)

Thanks to NST for selecting me as the weekly winner and the opportunity to win a fabulous 2D 1N stay in a Deluxe room (Sea View) with Breakfast for Two at Thistle Port Dickson Resort.  I think, I already have the date in mind when to redeem this;-) The certificate is valid from April 15 - July 14, 2011, still ample time to do so.  

Happy Weekend Everyone...absolutely for me!!!

Bye..*waving like a Queen*

iPad 2

HeLLo...PeoPLe!!!!! 

iPad 2 in da house!!!! Yup its available in Malaysia and officially launched today on April 29, 2011 at all Machines store except the Garden's outlet *READ* The price is slightly cheaper in Malaysia compared to the US and other countries. Thanks to better currency exchange I suppose!  Anyway you may check out the price *HERE* I've done enough of the conversion, postal service bla..bla..bla..errmm best to get it from Malaya, yez...Today!!! Btw, thanks to my dear fren Maria for the info *her fb message all the way from the States on iPad Malaysia launching* Oopss..seriously I didn't know till she told me last night * Ignorant me, should do more readings on the latest gadget news*

However, its not as easy as you think it is, just choose, pick & pay.....no freakin' way!

A'ha! you gotta queue up for the longest time to reach to this board *sigh*

Among the 'early birds' when we reached there @ 7am! 

Wonder what time do they leave the house or maybe..??ermm...perhaps since last nite!

@9am...the queue getting closer to the store but its still closed!

 

Each & everyone of us who has started queueing up since morning (god knows what time they came) at about 10am they gave us this small card indicating which  iPad  you wanna purchase, e.g. 16GB WiFi - White or 32GB WiFi & 3G - Black etc etc (before that we've already registered our names  on an A4 paper and also stated which iPad we want, btw only those with names on the list will get the card). The late comers will have to wait, the early birds will get the 1st priority! Note to us from Machines staff:  "Please be reminded, once you get the card with the iPad type & colour there's no way for you to can change it anymore!"  Once & for all just make your final decision.

after 3hrs..thats the 'furthest' we've got...

@12 noon...The queue getting worst n worst...*people were lining up in front of Haagen Dazs, Jusco*

of coz  the outlet  operators were not very happy with that, what happen NEXT...

okay...everybody please follow the queue...*they were following the guard* pity them they have to line up outside without the luxury of the "air-conditioned mall"

Mgmt & Security reason:  blocking customers way to go in&out of the shops/outlets, lift & escalator...

 Good Luck guyz...!!!

Finally, after about 5 hours of queue-ing up 'session' @ Sunway Pyramid...

"Ms. Whitey"  is officially MINE... OK la Worth the Waiting & "Beratur-ing";-)

Too tired to open it...!!!  As I've watched the Royal Wedding of Prince William & Kate, what I really need now is to get some sleep and a good rest. 

I'm calling it a night!! Nighty night peeps!



p.s: before this adalah suruh a few of  my dear galfrenz tolong belikan iPad 2 ni kat US,OZ but out of stock, rupa-rupanya rezeki ada di sini. Walaupunnnnn...Penatzzz! Pikir-pikir  balik *kiasu* nya diri ini sanggup beratur selama berjam-jam sebab benda cenonit ni *haihhh*
