Malaysia Love Unlocked iPhones Long Time


Unlocked iPhone 8GB (1.1.1) with Digi, just perfick

Okay, the guesses are in, and yes, it's for me.
So I have been recently blessed with an iPhone. The short?

If you've been following my life, you would know that I gave her an iPhone for her birthday last month. How did I get it? Well my uncle was on a business trip to New York and it was really a no brainer to ask him to get one on the way back.

I've been planning this for months. Really wanted to give something special to Joyce for her 21st, but I didn't know whether it was possible to get an iPhone this year. I even started thinking of getting an iPod Touch, but it never came close to the specialness. So when I found out that he was there *boom* sms flies out! But he only found out it was actually a gift later.

When he found out about my 'self sacrificial' act (cheh), he ordered another one for me secretly, which I found out much later. Probably the second most romantic thing someone did for me this year. Maybe he thought that I was dying inside not being able to have an iPhone or sumfing, but whatever it was, it just goes to show that I give off that Applish vibe a little too much. People might be thinking that I'm addicted - not to crack or weed or meth or whatever - but to mac, which is kinda sad cause then I would just end up being a geek to some people.

So that's the story if anyone's wondering, and no, me having an iPhone doesn't change a single thing. I'm still your friend =D

My Sad Little Christmas


This isn't the original if you hadn't notice by the first minute. Yeah, even though its by the cast of Scrubs, but I can relate to Charlie "JD" Brown

iPhone enohPi


So some of you might remember that I gave this girl a very exclusive invitation into a very exclusive club in Malaysia - The iPhone Owners Club

She has been very happy with the invention of the year and I'm glad to report that she found it so easy to use that she was typing fairly well in a week, and using almost all the features with ease in the same amount of time. The best present to get your girlfriend this year.

Yes, I'm talking to all you Malaysian men who have a girl and dare to say that you love them, pfftt, it ain't love if you don't get her the iPhone this year while its still special. By the time it reaches our shores, it'l be so common like the kopitiams here, it'll be sickening! (but I'll still have one no matter what, I'm an Apple fan boy)

By the way, guess who's iPhone just came in?

p.s. all of you girls out there are more than welcome to forward this post to your hubby, boy, dear, bastard if you like to help convince him to get you one for Christmas. It's the least I could do to help you out.

Christien, Lavin and Me In The Same Room


This is really really late, but I'm on TV! Not really teevee, but my college's web tv if that's anything. Cash got me in to this a few months back and I've done 3 segments so far. It's great experience to have, but if you're like me - not forming sentences correctly all the time and have short term memory - then being a tv host can be quite daunting.

I know, I know, "Just let us know the url already dammit!" Fly on over to www.ucsi.edu.my and click on the tiny WebTV icon on the top left of the page. And in a moment of so you would be able to see my babbling on screen.

I think the coolest thing about this is that some people recognized me from the web tv. Not a big deal I know, but it's nice.

Oh ya, and of course the fact that I interviewed Christien and Lavin, and they are just the nicest people you'll meet from celebrity land. I was all kayu and kekok around them (which I regret) but I did manage to take some shots with them. This was during their press conference at UCSI.


With a very happy and pregnent Daphne Iking


I first saw Lavin, actually her face on her shop at 1U just underneath my old workplace, Macasia and I went, "Oh my God, is she Malaysian??" Well, it just goes to show that we do have amazingly beautiful people here in this country.


I was so reluctant to take this picture. Come on, no normal looking guy can stand with Christien and still look decent. And yes, I admit that he is very good looking.

Don't any of you dare make fun of him or his immensely attractive wife. He and Lavin are so nice, they have made me believe once again that celebrities are perfect, wonderful, beautiful people.

The 25th


Christmas Trees by Mable Dwight

Christmas is such a wonderful time, filled with joy and laughter and love, but as the years go by, I find myself getting all the wrong emotions during this time. It started out with a less laughter, then sad, then depression. No this is not an emo post.

I can't help but feel depressed during the season. It's something inside of me that just goes off and then I find my emotions going down as Christmas time passes me by. Do we all just naturally cynical towards all holiday seasons? I think I'm something like that.

I've wondered, what's thereal reason I feel this way? Some words do come to mind.

Loneliness, dissatisfaction, fatigued, sympathy, exasperation...

Big words, equally big emotions.

Dance, Dance featuring Pet & Friends




It was the day where we would celebrate Petrina's birthday in the most unsubtle of ways. It was a long day with a lot of activities. As much as Pet thought it didn't work out, I still enjoyed hanging out.

The day started with an event at LIFE College. Superb dancing from all of them, Pet, Sam, Sarah and the rest. I was late and missed the dance actually, but I sure made up for it in lots of pictures from the encore.

I only have pictures from the dance because my batteries died during lunch. Totally forgot to charge after the Saturday shoot.

After the dance

After the dance, it was picture taking. I just had to make sure that I came out nice and tall in at least in one picture.

World Premier

This is the premier of both my team's work for Video Production 1 class last semester. I directed, co-wrote, edited and co-shoot both the videos (more details on the videos youtube pages). I rather not over analyze and explain, just that the music video was long in production in my head even before the semester started =) Hope you enjoy them and please share with me what you think in the comments.

The Making Of: iPhone TVC and The Killers Music Video

As promised, I want to share with all of you some behind the scenes photos of the making of the iPhone TV commercial and The Killers music video me and my team did for Video Production 1.

It was a hectic 3 weeks from conception to production to post production, but it was all worth it at the end of the day. We are very proud of our work. I would like to thank God for his immense help in this as well. From the weather to getting the talents, it all fell in place.

Please click on the album link below to see all of the photos.

Joyce's 21st Birthday [LONG POST]

6 Hours Before Party

We spent the better half of the day together, having lunch, shopping and doing various body enhancements (read: hair cut). She still didn't know what we were planning and what she would be getting for her birthday. At one point I said, "All I can give to you for your birthday this year is my love. How? You don't mind right??" 
Had zza for lunch, Italliannies 1U


Hair at Plaza Damaz, our usual spot


Amanda's boyfriend had a cute pup at the salon and I had my camera with me


One last shot before leaving, experimental always

The Party
We managed to find this place, Bora Asmara, for our dinner (thanks Prakash). It was a beautiful place. Service was also top notch. 
All the beautiful people that came


Joyce got her first gift almost immediately when we arrived.

The Surprise
The night was not yet over. In the middle of all the chaos that was happening (thanks to another birthday happening right beside us), I gave her the surprise I have been keeping a secret for so long, an iPhone.

I slipped away with her phone with the excuse of making a call and swapped her sim card out. In 5 minutes, after making sure it was 'callable', I went back out and put both into her bag. Thank god Prakash remembered to distract her for me as I did it.

The thing was, she immediately felt the difference in weight (I think it's a girl thing) and opened her bag before I could make the call to surprise her. My call managed to go through just a moment after she took it out. Surprise surprise!

Everyone was speechless (I still don't know if it's the good one or the bad one), and she was quite blur until the reality kicked in - an iPod Touch doesn't ring...

The After Party
It was off to The Apartment for the after party, and we ended the night with more drinks and food. 

Thanks everyone for coming and giving her a wonderful birthday to remember

This is the full album with all the pictures from that day. Check it out.
