I received a DM from Mr. Josh Lim, the boss for Advertlets last Wednesday.
I was in the ‘jungle’ near Bakun and the mobile coverage was really bad but I called him up anyway. First time talking to the man. Excerpt of our painfully transmitted over the sucky mobile coverage went something like this..
Me: “Hello, Josh? Bong here.”
Josh: “Who?”
Me: “Bongkersz.”
Josh: “Oh, yes. Bongkersz. Bong Chan Siong.”
LOL! No need for the full name man! I lost count how many times we asked each other “Hello… can you hear me?” or repeated “Yes I can hear you fine.” during the short conversation. HAHA!
He asked me whether I would be available in Kuching on Friday night for a project. I told him maybe, because I wasn’t sure I would be back on Friday. Anyway he said he would provide me with the details the next day. I was invited to partay Xpax Xplay Party at Paragon, Travillion, Kuching!
I wasn’t overly excited at that time because I wasn’t sure I would be back in Kuching on Friday night.
Then on Friday morning, I have decided to go on a road trip with my colleague, driving back from Simpang Bakun to Kuching. He dropped me at Betong around 4pm and I then continued driving to Kuching with @Emi_Mel. We started around 5.30pm and reached Kuching around 8.30pm and we were ready to partay!! *chanting* Partay people partay people partay people….
Checking with Mr. Josh if I am already in the list.. (click image for full size)
We went to Paragon, Travillion around 10pm and I was surprised that my name was not in the list. I asked them to double, triple check and showed them the tweets from Josh but they still couldn’t find my name. To cut the story short, I managed to get in the club after contacting Josh on phone and he directed me to a lady called Rosemary. But, too bad I didn’t get the ‘VIP tag’ and thus had no access to the ‘VIPs area’ and of course, no free flow drinks for me…
The VIP tag, cheekily named ‘VXP’. This is Fahriee’s tag… (photo stolen from him as well)
I managed to sneak up to the VIPs area for a while and stole a shot with my Crackberreh!
Anyway I had so much fun at the party. DJ Monkey and DJ Funkzu iz teh shitz! Love the beats churned out by the both DJs, really nothing short of awesomeness. I kinda ‘duh!’ when some club Djs playing the same old shits, repetitively cos I rather listen to the radio for that. Keyword here is ‘repetitively’.
This is DJ Monkey. Nice inks man! (photo stolen from Fahriee again)
There were other performances as well, by Soul Higher and Shawn Lee.
Sorry for the poor quality picture hahaha!
Shawn Lee the beatbox machine! Fahriee was not doing him justice when he’s busy tweeting there lol…. or was he tweeting about how awesome Shawn Lee was? Hmm… I recorded the part where Shawn Lee was beatboxing but the sound quality is so crappy for me to put it up. Sigh. One word for Shawn Lee, madness!
Put your hands up in the air partay people! (photo stolen from Xpax’s FB Page)
With Fahriee and Rosemary. (photo stolen from Fahriee)
Kuching definitely need more of such event to cater for the crazy party revelers here. Looking forward for the upcoming edition of Xpax Xplay party! (They were partying at Opera, Sunway on Saturday night and from the photos.. damn it sure looked like a blast!)
ps: A short hiatus from this blog (last post was a month and a half back…) and the first post after the break is about partying.. Now, Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) is just around the corner…
pss: I no longer look pink after few sips of alcoholic beverages because I am few shades darker after many days slaving in the jungle..
psss: I think the tagline “..when blogging is a constipated affair.” fits this blog real nice now…
Finally, I got time to sit down and write a blog post! Huarghh!
Let’s get down to business. Last Sunday, with the help of my ‘trunk buddy’ – Comeez aka Pierce and friends, Myremi aka Rowena and another friend I couldn’t quite remember the name (Sorry, bad memory heh!) I arranged an impromptu session of ‘unboxing the #N97minitrunk that I received from WOMWorld Nokia.
We recorded the wholte #N97minitrunk unboxing process and the video still being edited. Too many craps in it, contributed by yours truly. I will post it up when it is ready, so you guys can have a chance to laugh at me making a fool of myself in the video. I have not look at the video, I hope I don’t sound funny…
Mission: Unboxing #N97minitrunk
Location: Comeez’s office meeting room.
Participants: Bongkersz, Comeez, Myremi and Miss ‘Forgotten Name’
The #N97minitrunk, darn it’s heavy!
Contents of the #N97minitrunk
That brownish thing is not someone’s crap. It’s a pinecone..
An envelope, quill pen, photo album, big ass calculator, stereo player, alarm clock, moleskin notebook, compass, tape recorder, old school address book, pinecone (?), disposable camera, gigantic snake and ladder board game.. and the N97mini of course!
Sweet! Love the orange against black, reddish brown colour combination. I passed the phone to Comeez, I have not try it, so cannot do a review yet. We shall wait….
Inside the envelope, a myriad of challenges.. and stickers!
A note from Nokia, explaining the #N97minitrunk challenges. All together 5 challenges. Winners (you and your trunk buddy) get themselves a N97 mini. Duh!
Challenge 1 – Trunk in action. I have submitted my entry titled – #N97trunkmini and Cherrie. Photos, maybe in the coming posts.. HAHA!
Challenge 3 – Music on the go. Together with Comeez, Myremi and our videowoman, we have created a video. Still under editing process. I can’t wait to see it myself..
Challenge 4 – Gaming. Now, I may need your help. Anyone of you in Kuching area who would like to join me and friends playing snakes and ladders board game? Exact time and location will be finalised soon. We need to create a video of crazy people, playing crazy game. Heard people at WOMWorld Nokia love to see those videos… ha! ha! ha!
Challenge 5 – Share your album. We have taken some photos with the disposable camera during the unboxing session. Have not figure out how to tackle this challenge. Ehe, that suggestion of ‘leave your album somewhere’ sounds a lot like what an employee of a fruity company did, recently.
ps: Which feature/function of the phone is represented by the pinecone? I have some ideas.. not going to say for now..
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my Muslim friends:
“Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir Batin.”
Me wishing 1Malaysia -- Selamat 1HariRaya, Ketupat Didahulukan, Rendang Diutamakan. Erk, stammered a bit at the first part because, I’m a bit allergic to this ‘1′ thing *chuckles*
I’m sorry I didn’t extend my Raya greeting earlier but Raya is for the whole month of Syawal and today is only the 4th day of Raya, right? I just came back from a long weekend at my hometown, Sarikei. I went back on Thursday morning with Goolooloo tagging along. She was dropping by Sibu to see her beloved boyfriend.
We started our ‘balik kampung’ journey at 6am, reached Sibu around 11am. The road was pretty clear so I had the road all for myself, all the way up. That explained the 5 hours drive from Miri-Sibu. I stopped for lunch in Sibu before continuing my journey to Sarikei.
I spent my time in Sarikei like how I normally do it when I’m back home. Pigging on food, (my puasa effort during the fasting month went down the drain), watching tv and meeting some friends.
Oh, I met up with Alice’s bro in Sarikei. It was kinda funny. I was having my kampua at Hiek Lik Cafe when I saw a familiar looking guy came in with a red helmet on his hand, sat down across me and ordered what else but kampua.
Infamous kampua at Hiek Lik Cafe. Arguable the best kampua in Sarikei No, kampua is not kolo mee. Kampua > Kolo Mee. HAHA! (Image source: S-blog)
I didn’t go and greet the guy because I was unsure and there wasn’t any telling sign that the guy would know me. So, I gobbled down my tasty kampua and went back home. When I checked my Facebook status:
“Bongkersz Bong is having kampua at Hiek Lik cafe. Yum Yum.” 19 September at 11:31 via Selective Twitter Status
I saw a comment:
“Jimmy Ling oi taukeh!!!!!i think i saw u this morning but i wasn’t sure if it was u! are u still in sarikei? pergi lim teh?” 19 September at 12:05
He gave me his phone number and we met for breakfast cum lunch at Glory Cafe the next day. Hey nice meeting you mate! All the best for your future undertakings! *wink!*
I’ll just end this post with some photos of food only available in Sarikei!
Roti Kahwin at Aik Seng Cafe. Your tiny puny Roti Kahwin is a no match against our awesome Roti Kahwin *smugs* Even our burgers are bigger than yours! Bwahahahahahahaha! (image source: S-blog)
ps: I just realised that, instead of putting up ketupat or rendang photos, I put up a photo of kampua with char siew (barbecued pork meat). *sweats*. Please don’t get offended. Photos are for illustration purpose only hehe.
pss: I was busy visiting houses with my partners in crime. Let’s see if there are awesome photos for me to put up on this blog later.
