Malaysia Social Media Chambers

2012-02-29T12:30:00.000+08:00

I was a part of a collective who organised the Malaysia Social Media Week 2012 which was held between 13th and 17th February 2012. We are known as Malaysia Social Media Chambers which is currently in the midst of being registered with the Registrar of Society. It is a collective of people who are active in social media and all are welcome. Currently we have a few like-minded people like

The end of my #365 makan project

2012-01-31T14:11:00.000+08:00

In 3 days time, I will finally finish filling up the Facebook albums (3 in all) which shows what I had for lunch. This was my entry on 2nd February last year announcing the project : My #365 makan project It was supposed to be mostly what I eat in Malaysia. However, I went to Jakarta, Mumbai, and Kazakhstan in 2011. I included a few of the lunches I had there and I managed to

Adult holiday

2012-01-05T13:12:00.000+08:00

It is not really of going away with a group of friends but it was a kind of a unique holiday. All of us travel in twos or threes or with our own companion, family or friend. We arrived at the designated area. Did the one thing we have set ourselves to do, which was to celebrate the coming of the new year 2012. Did a few other stuff together, sometimes with only half of the whole group,

FlexiRoam, a convenient to call from foreign lands

2011-12-20T11:33:00.000+08:00

I have to admit, I am not sure whether I will need this service or not. However, having an option to call from foreign countries is great. I went to Kazakhstan last June and I only had the option to tweet (through Twitter) and BBM my wife for nearly 10 days as I didn't want to incur cost if I made any calls. FlexiRoam seems to be the solution for that. It is a phone call only solution

2011 : The year I learned to love rice

2011-12-15T20:44:00.000+08:00

Yep, am born and raised in Malaysia where the food is always partnered with rice. There are so many type of rice and the way it is cook that there Malaysia imported from so many countries. So, in a way, it is weird for me to just get acquainted with rice. I am so not really into rice when my wife and I eat out that she would go to her mom's when she wants to really eat rice (which she always

The Twitterjaya Wedding

2011-11-14T02:40:00.001+08:00

So, Twitterjaya had a wedding over last weekend. What's so different about it from all those announcement on Twitter is that this wedding was made in Twitter nearly in total. The courting, the drama, the proposal and then the wedding itself. The wedding was between @jud9e and @ritarita_ritz. A sailor and a personal assistant extraordinaire. They met exactly a year ago, courted and then

How to make lemang in modern times

2011-11-08T14:20:00.000+08:00

The last time I join the festivity of making lemang, it was when I was still just a wee lad. Not wanting to let a tradition dies, I just want to observe and participate which lead to the most important event : The eating part! When my wife said that her family is going to make some lemang at her kampung in Tapah Road, during the Eid ul-Adha, I just jumped into the opportunity to join them.

Three Seven and counting

2011-11-02T15:44:00.002+08:00

Celebrated my birthday last week. A small affair like every year with just me and my wife. I don't harp about my birthday and actually hate celebrating it. However, my wife made it memorable all by herself. Here were the highlights : Wife sent a balloon surprise early in the morning of my birthday Wife brought me to dinner at Prime, a posh steakhouse in Hilton KL (she really knows my

Tuan Senang Besar : Stopped in the middle of a run

2011-10-14T15:45:00.001+08:00

@TeeAssBee on Twitter or Tuan Senang Besar on Facebook was a man I get to know from social media. Yesterday, he was no more. This is an account on how he existed or what I perceived of him and it has a lot to do with how social media connects us. Kharis, his real name died on 13th of October 2011 while he was running somewhere near his house. I got to know the news through Twitter upon

Selamat Hari Raya!

2011-08-29T17:00:00.000+08:00

Seems that the argument is how Malaysia seems to have changed the way they greet one of the most celebrated day in Muslims calendar. There are two eid in Islam. Eid ul-fitr and Eid ul-adha. One is after a whole month of Ramadhan and the other is after the Haj season in Mekah. The form is still the same. The evolution goes like this : Selamat Hari Raya - > Eid Mubarak -> SHRAF The

The iftar tango....

2011-08-15T13:33:00.001+08:00

Every year, like any other year, the iftar or buka puasa part of Ramadhan will be in focus. People tend to go overboard when it comes to spending for buka puasa. Before I was married, in a family like mine where buka puasa is an event in itself, my mom tend to cook more than necessary as during those time Pasar Ramadhan or Bazaar Ramadhan were not as popular as it is now. We overeat on

8 years ago, after Asar, which then was nearly the same as now, at 4.45pm, I solemnized and officially become the man in someone's life. I was so nervous about going to the mosque from my kampung in Negeri Sembilan, I actually took a wrong turn to the highway. I had to detour nearly 20 kilometers away. I am not sure whether I ever told anyone, including the person I now called wife, about that

Spin Masters 2 - Generation gap : Tea Dance

2011-07-25T16:48:00.001+08:00

I was invited to see the production of Spin Masters 2 at the Zouk KL on one fine Saturday on invitation of the production company, Kyanite TV. It was interesting due to several reasons including that I never seen a reality television production (or maybe any TV production for that matter). The Spin Masters 2 which is has been shown on Astro Hitz and kinda on repeat every day since Wednesday,

Obedient Wives Club wins?

2011-07-08T14:44:00.004+08:00

Have you seen this YouTube video which is an evening show called The Evening Edition by BFM Radio? This show is where two or three guests will be interviewed about one topic which can be favoured by both or dissented by both or to make it more interesting, where these guests have opposite views. For this particular The Evening Edition, the panel consisted of the Obedient Wife Clubs which was

Chelsea Football Club Tour 2011

Yes, the Blues is coming to Malaysia this month. Malaysia will be spoilt for choice this July with Liverpool and Arsenal coming to Malaysia and pitting their strength with our Malaysia team, the Harimau Malaya. Thanks to Noobie and Samsung, I am going to get to watch Chelsea play Malaysia at the National Stadium Bukit Jalil this coming July 21st. I am not sure which team I will be

Cool Monalisa painting illusion

2011-06-30T00:00:00.000+08:00

Was at the Marketplace of Creative in Kazakhstan when I keep seeing people stopping by at a corner and circling something in front of them. When I went to look I realised it is quite a cool thing to see. A painting which use the Monalisa but made out of something which makes it visually stunning. I am not sure which artist from the many at the World Islamic Economic Forum did it. Here have a

Tis bug called travel

2011-06-20T11:21:00.002+08:00

Almaty, Kazakhstan town from the air I love to travel. However, it does takes stretched the limited resources that I have especially when I travel to too many places within a short period of time. The resources are not just money but time and relationship too. As a business owner, your time at the office or at least within the vicinity of your office can help business gets done and problem

Horse meat in Kazakhstan

2011-06-07T02:20:00.008+08:00

Am here for the 7th World Islamic Economic Forum and what better way to know a country but to try their food. So, horse meat is famous in Kazakhstan and I tried so many of dishes made from horse meat. Here are some of them : Horse milk and camel milk (It taste rather sour. very sour) Horse Meat Kurdiyak and Lamb with rice n spices Pronounced sheatbread though not sure its real

Eat Jakarta

2011-05-31T12:38:00.000+08:00

Went on a trip to Jakarta. Did so many things but what I enjoyed most were the eating and the drink. Let me list how many things I ate here (those I took picture of) : 1) Nasi padang at Garuda Restoran (which is much like the mamak shop in Malaysia) which you can eat 24 hours a day and is at every corner of Jakarta. They serve it by bringing all the dishes at once and you eat only those you want

Nestle Drumstick Almond Thrill

2011-05-23T11:11:00.000+08:00

New ice cream by Nestle ice cream which is true to its name : Almond Thrill. Full of almond and in terms of thrill, that too. Is it tasty? Let me paint you a picture. You are living in a country where after a full blast of storm and rain, the weather can go back to between 35 to 40 degree Celsius. What better way to cool yourself than grabbing some ice cream. Here was the weather on the day we

Nur Kasih the Movie

2011-05-18T11:20:00.000+08:00

It seems that I have been watching a few Malaysian movie these past few months. More than I usually do. Still getting use to it due to a new business I am involved with which deserves its own blogpost as it is actually a business dream which finally came true. I was ribbed about this business once but I am not into it big time. Let me make sure it is off the ground first before I tell the whole

Mumbai, not what I expected

2011-05-06T12:39:00.000+08:00

What did I get myself into? That was the question when I was told by my wife we were going to Mumbai around 6 months ago. The reason I gave in after being prodded by her for nearly a few years to go to India was due to the cheap Air Asia tickets of RM500++ for 2 persons. India was their new destination then and a friend of my wife asked whether we wanted to go Mumbai with her. My excited wife

Samsung SMART TV Launch

2011-05-04T16:45:00.000+08:00

A few weeks ago in April, I was invited to witness a new revolution in television watching. I did asked myself how smart can a television be as internet seems to be hogging the limelight when it comes to television. It seems that Samsung is one step faster in adapting that as the SMART TV system is not juts about the television. It is also an entertainment system, a computer system you can hook

Mumbai, our travel the world agenda continues

2011-04-26T14:41:00.000+08:00

On Wednesday, 27th of April 2011, with the long weekend of 1st May just a few days ahead, we are heading to Mumbai, India. A place I have been resisting to go for quite some time but love makes you do a lot of thing you will never do by yourself. My wife is a lover of India, the country, although I never seen her watched any Indian movie, either Hindustan or Tamil. She has been buggering me to
