I'm slowly moving blog.
Will move tonight actually :D
Check out the (super lewat) Grey Goose party i blogged bout
I still want my xanga emoticons so will try to get them moved over or something
Moving because: html is easier for the programmers to handle and Xanga won't be screwing me over by KO-ing or going under construction all the time
I will miss blogging from my Xanga but hopefully... the new dot net will look better in time
So there are four competitions Digi is holding for their
Fu-Yoh Street Blast. A futsal + basketball tournament, a fashion design
competition and a b-boy dance contest. Among the four, I think I can only relate to the fashion one
:p
What happens when you see a contest that stirs your interest? Do you see what you have to do to join first? Do you see what the qualifications are first?
No.
What I do is I
always check out what the prizes are first, to see whether joining it in the
first place will be worth my time.
C'mon. It’s common sense. Would you join a contest if the prize was RM100? Heck no.
So first up, what *are* the prizes? *rubs hands in glee*
For the basketball tournament, I went to kacau NickIsTaller. My brother's an avid basketball player.
Yeah, I know the contest for this is over. I just wanted to sibuk at any rate.
Sometimes when I meet guys through other friends, they'd
say, "Oh yeah, I know your brother, we play basketball together."
So it's different. He plays basketball with them. I drink with them.
I asked Nick, "Hey, what do you think of a basketball
tournament that gives RM1,500 prize money?" "Hmm that's not bad." "Not bad… like how? I have no idea what the normal figure
is." "Most of the other tournaments give cash prizes of less then
1k or sometimes even 500. Hmm except for this recent one in The Curve that gave
damn a lot. But 1,500 is damn good."
I went into interview mode, "So, if you won 1,500 what would
you do with it?" "Have to split between three players right?" "Yeah I guess so." "Hmm dunno. Normal stuff I guess." "-_- Fail la you. So much for something interesting you say
to write on my blog. -_-"
So yes. The prize money was
RM1,500 1st runner
up got RM1,000 And 2nd runner
up got RM500
Now, if you're short (like me) and don't have much ability in
playing basketball (like me), there was the futsal tournament for others to
cash in on.
I think half my friends play futsal. MaryBerry plays every week with Gobi
and gang, so does FaiTheMai, TL, AzwinAndy, AdamPoserPan, etc. ExSmellie used to play so much that I had to yank him from
it to spend quality time with me instead -_-
One thing about futsal is you can seriously get hurt with
it, yet the boys still insist on playing.
FaiTheMai obtained some problems with his knees last time
yet still insisted on playing. Then he got a slip disk so had to abandon sport altogether. TL got kicked in the ankles and had an ugly bruise when we went to Perhentian. AdamPoserPan... well he just got itsy wounds and made a big whiny
deal out of it.
I didn't take this. He did, ages ago. (With his futsal gear
still on -_-)
There must be a reason why they love playing futsal so much,
though I'm blinded to it cos I hate running around, despite being a sprinter in
school last time. Even in the gym I’d rather do the stair climber then the
treadmill. I love hiking, swimming, other sports, and now diving (yay! I just
got my license!), but I’m just not a fan of running around kicking a ball.
Prize money for the futsal tournament was the same as the
basketball one ;) First prize = RM1,500 1st runner
up = RM1,000 2nd runner
up = RM500
I know both the
basketball and futsal ones are over, so you must be wondering why the heck I'm
writing about it when there's no way you can join already. But I couldn't help babbling a bit 'bout it.
Ok ok I'll get to the point.
Besides the basketball and futsal tournaments, there'll also
be the Fuyoh! Fashion Design Contest
taking place for the span of a month from 15
September to 31 October 2007.
Okay for me, if I was younger and I wanted to partake in a
competition like this, it's not only the money that'd draw me but the
acquisition of the title itself. Even if you don't continue pursuing a career in fashion
design, the fact that you won something like this can always be inserted into
your CV as fabulous additional skills that you have!
So for the Fuyoh!
Fashion Design Contest, I'm going to go through what you have to do first
before telling you what you'd win.
First, You participate by
creating a minimum of 4 designs on JPEG/PDF format and email it to digistreetblast@gmail.com with the
subject entitled 'Fashion.'
Then, 8 finalists will be selected to receive RM1,000 each, to
bring their designs to life. They'll compete in the KL
Finals to vie to be champion.
If you are champion, You get prize money of RM2,000 + Nokia 7900 Prism + working
experience with a fashion designer.
If you're one of the finalists who don't win, it's okay. It
was a good try and you still get a Nokia 7900 Prism.
Couldn't help googling the phone up. Quite the cemerlang also. (Crap, I think I listen to DikHaHaHau and Roen too
much. Since when I use the word 'cemerlang'? -_-)
I have no idea who the fashion designer is as of yet. If you're young, that doesn't mean age is a barrier.
See here Justin Yap. He won Best Eveningwear during MIFA two years ago... when he
was 20.
Jess from Andrews Models,
stylist Calvin Cheong, designer Justin Yap, me in my non-red phase @ the
Robinson's launch @ Gardens Midvalley
If you've always aspired to be a fashion designer, this is
just one of the ways of starting (besides pursuing a course in it). You'd get
to be involved in the final presentation of a model on the runway!
The hair!
Emmeline Ng backstage
The make up!
The models...
Took this at the Robinson's Launch as well JustinYap and i were trying (rather unsuccessfully) not to drool so obviously at this particular dude, our jaws hanging open all.
The B-Boy Dance Challenge is also till 31 October 2007.
A video of you and 5 friends have to be sent in to digistreetblast@gmail.com with the
subject 'Dance' And like the fashion one, 8 finalists will be selected
whereupon they'll compete at the KL Finals.
Winning group gets RM2,000 prize money + 6 x Nokia 5610
XpressMusic + and a trip to bust those moves elsewhere by competing overseas!
Nice.
1st runner-up gets > 6 x Nokia 5700 XpressMusic 2nd runner-up gets > 6 x Nokia 5300 XpressMusic
So not only do you
know how to move, you in most probability have a sexy bod from all the workout
plus you have high stamina which equals to *cough* being extremely... healthy.
Yeah, healthy.
Bet your saham will naik with the chicks, man.
Now. We've been talking and talking about the Fuyoh! Fashion Design Contest and the B-Boy Dance Challenge, and how they
winner will emerge in the KL Finals.
But what the heck is this KL Finals?
It's at the Fuyoh Street Blast la. (aiyo are you following
me or not?)
Besides finding out who won the Inter-Varsity Sports
Championships, and who the winners are for the fashion and B-boy contests,
there'll be heaps of other workshops and mini competitions lined up for those
of you (like me) who didn't end up joining either of the main ones.
X-Games! - BMX,
In-Line Skating, Skate Boarding
I used to rollerblade every single day without fail back in
the 90s. Woo... Almost killed myself too when I bladed downhill and went
faster then the car next to me and didn't know how to stop -_-
Dance! - Breakdance,
Shuffle, Freestyle and Capoiera Workshops
Capoiera @ Kuching Rainforest
Music Fest
Hmm remember the Atmosphere days? :p That was so... five years ago. That's where I met so many of the people I still see today
:D And we used to cheer PassedOutBen on cos he could shuffle in
perfect agility for the big guy he was back then (now he lost weight see)
None of us oldies shuffle anymore. But it's amusing to see how the new ones do it. Though I feel like throwing something at them when I see
someone shuffling to RNB = absolute rubbish okay.
Shufflers at the previous PD
rave
Arts & Crafts -
Graffiti and other funky techniques Arts and crafts! Wee... i always wanted to teach children arts and crafts in kindergarten. Show them how to draw fairies and start a fairy cult.
As for graffiti, I love admiring and taking pictures of
them, but I don't have a knack for it. Here's a masterpiece by AhHoong aka DozyDidjital aka
Didjital from the Bass Agents
Damn cemerlang right?
Besides all those activities, you can also get awesome stuff with Digi's fun games
Bid Dat! - Bid for
goodies from as low as RM1 Spin & Win - Reload and spin away for cool prizes G-Force!
Oh my god. I love G-Force. It doesn't last long but I remember taking it twice before - once with AdamPoserPan in Singapore
and another with GarfieldChak at the KL Tower rave.
And if that's not enough, there are more performances lined
up (Walau. Type it also get tired already)
Rock hard with shows by local artistes, uni bands, and dance
champions, not forgetting special appearances by DIGI CelebriTeen finalists.
For the performances, Gerhana Ska Cinta, Joe Flizzow,
Sierra, Letto from Indonesia
will be playing.
Joe Flizzow laughing
Took that in Gabriel's apartment for a feature article for
Vida! mag a year ago.
Letto from Indonesia
I must say I adore Indonesian bands. They have this way of relating their lyrics and it always
turns out damn emo. >_<
It's usually listening to the songs over and over that I end
up taking to it, then I'll be so semangat i'll search up the lyrics and once, I
even translated Sheila On Seven's Sephia to English. :p
Other Malaysian indie bands playing will be Raw n G$, Mono
lo-fi minimal, Tnoze/sash, Hujan, Debunga, and Mines Mayor.
Also showing up will be Da Yellow Coverage Fellow.
How can we not know that Yellow Coverage Fellow? I think he'll be most popular person that day. Everyone will want to take pictures with him... including me!
So remember, slash 24th November off your calendar and check
out happy-coloureddigi.com.my/fu-yoh
for more info (plus there's heaps of other info and buttons to mess about with
there.)
That's my line for the week. Been so insanely busy, so much admin work (sorry but i hate hate hate admin work. i feel it's so brainless and just takes up time :p but no choice. have to do -_-), articles (more deadlines next week...urk), keep on rewriting this advertorial (i'm succumbing to my first advertorial 'cos they're paying what i asked for :p), my room's still not done, my dog's upsetting me cos he's got a new wound (just made another app with the vet for later), still have to attend events for work, been sleeping an average of 4 hours a night, got sick since Wed but no way to take MC cos so many things to do anyway, everyone's staying away from my food and drink cos of my cough and fever, thanks to NotYourAverageJo who derma-ed me some Clarinase to save my nose.
I took a nap for the first time in the office on Wednesday. >_< Decided to stay on in city centre till the Marketplace event at night and i couldn't tahan so badly, i lay on the sofa and crashed for an hour.
Been thinking i want to migrate to Perhentian and become a full-time dive instructor like Tim suggested so i can just swim, dive and sleep.
And think about it! I wouldn't need money to shop cos i don't have to make any impressions. I don't have to keep up with trends cos bikinis there are always in trend.
Can makan puas-puas.
Okay la, let's face it. I might get bored after a month.
La Bodega opened in Pavilion a 3-minute walk from the office on Tuesday We had our weekly meeting there yesterday
Lam: "Guys, order your drinks first."
Everyone ordered juices and stuff, but i really wanted my wine And i always order wine when i go to La Bod in the daytime... So i ordered wine >_< to the comments that i'm alcoholic
"Eh, i'm stressed out. And i haven't drank for two days okay."
Chorus: "WOWWWW" "Yeah man, two days, so long!"
Damn sarcastic dot com.
