WeChat & Avast! Launch Event




The event was organized by APAC Venture Sdn. Bhd. at Zouk KL on the 20th June 2012, to launch AVAST newly improved version 7 and also the launch of it's social app WeChat in Malaysia. More than 200 bloggers, local celebrities, media members and partners showed up for the event.

The main highlight for the night would be the first hand experience of the WeChat application. It works similarly like the Whatsapp application and the obvious difference that WeChat offered is the 'Shake' function. You'll be able to 'Shake' your device and connects with other WeChat users both locally and internationally.

My friends and I agree that the 'Shake' function makes you feel like you are going for match making. Shake your device and wait to see who showed up on your screen. After viewing the person's profile and picture, then you'll be able to decide whether you wanted to add them in your friends' list or not.

Since WeChat is orginally from China and was just newly launched in Malaysia, almost all the user that you could find is mainly from China and only a handful are from Malaysia. Other than that, WeChat still works great as a normal messenger for text messaging, hold-to-talk voice messaging, photo/video sharing, location sharing and contact information exchange.

Thank you so much APAC Venture Sdn. Bhd. for inviting me for the event!

Dear Miss Earth Sabah, Xandria Ban

Dear Miss Xandria,

I know I would sound like a creep if I said I fell for you ever since I first lay my eyes on your picture in the Miss Earth Sabah 2012's Facebook page, but that's not entirely the truth. It was my friend Tom from Rungitom.com that first introduced me to you, and recently he even showed me the pictures that he took of you in the East Meets West event. I was mesmerized and at the same time envy of Tom's job.

It was a heated conversation in the Cute Bloggers Gathering group page. Tom was trying to promote the other contestants but I know my heart has already being occupied by you and only you alone. Unlike Arms who initially have a crush on you too, but after being introduce to some of the contestants, his heart quickly changed like an ice-cream melts under the hot sun.

Thus the conversation got out of control and the next thing I realized is that my head was put on the line.

Tom will attempt to take a solo pictures with each of the Miss Earth Sabah 2012's contestant during the Green Charity Zumba Party this 8th of June, 630pm at Marina Club, Sutera Harbour Resort. Everyone will be wearing green that day since it was the given theme, and if Tom managed to accomplished his mission, I will have to go bald after that and Wyne as the unofficial judge will make sure of that. 

Xandria, if you think going bald will be able to bring sexy back, then please do encourage your friends to take pictures with Tom (especially Joanna Marie Faurillo, Tom has a crush on her), but if you prefer to have me with my hair on, then please with all your might reject the request from Tom to take picture together.

Thank you Xandria for your time. I wish you all the best in the competition and hopefully the pictures I took from Rungitom's collection and shared below will be enough to buy you a few votes and win. I'll see you when I see you. Enjoy Zumba-ing!

[Movie Review] Prometheus 2012

by Daniel Chiam


6/10 Fans will love the ending :D


I know of lot of Alien and Ridley Scott's fans are looking forward for Prometheus. The good news is, the movie is all what you can asked for in a sci-fi movie. Questions upon questions of why this and that, overall mind boggling - especially when Prometheus is about discovering the origin of mankind.

The down side of the whole movie for me, would be the lack of characters builds, which leave a lot of questions of why certain characters do what they do. In the end a lot of mystery left unresolved but in many ways, I really think that's the selling point for Prometheus. One thing for sure, fans will love what's install for them at the end.

Overall, the movie is a love and hate relationship for me. The aliens existed in the movie is kinda cool and gross at the same time tho xD 

Prometheus is a visual triumph and if nothing else it deserves credit for the moments when it does evoke the early scenes in Alien with the same degree of sinister wonder.

[Movie Review] Project X (2012)

by Daniel Chiam


7/10 The awesome party movie so far!


What would you do just to be popular for a day? You throw the baddest and most awesome party ever! Project X is such an epic teen movie. Uniquely done and marvelously entertaining. I for once would want to be in the party that they are throwing next!

Overloaded with foul language, gratuitous nudity, obnoxious characters, and the sub-standard cinematography of the "found footage" style.... But damn if it's not entertaining.
