Nuffnang Standout Party With Tiger @ HQNine10

Two weeks ago, Nuffnang once again organized another party, after the recent Maxis Music Bash and the joint collaboration of LG Party, came Standout with Tiger Beer..

The theme was quite easy, but it’s really hard if you planned to win some prizes and all coz standout is very blunt and has a vast option of being standout among the standouts..

Again, not having enough time to get some really standout costume, I’ve just decided to play with my long hair a bit..

I donned a double ponytail with my hair and I guess I was already standout among the guys..How often do you find a guy with double ponytail?

Liang again was the emcee for the party, but this time he has a co-emcee, that is Jojo Struys, the host, singer, actor, whatever..

*Liang and Jojo*

I must say they made quite a partnership emcee-ing together..One, who is already very familiar with Nuffnang events, another one who is very experienced in hosting shows and all..

*Jojo Struys and I*

Being a newbie as a Nuffnanger, I must say Jojo made quite an effort to talk around with other people despite her celebrity status..

Something I’m quite surprised and actually looking forward to..LOL~!!

*Vivien and I*

Vivien was there with the boyfriend, Dexter..I want to applaud her for her bravery in telling the other fella to buzz off, or something like that..Nice~~..

*Su Ann a.k.a Pinkpau*

Su Ann is back in Malaysia and wil be staying for 3 months then head back to The States to resume her study..

It’s been quite some time since our last supper at Steven’s Corner eh..Shall we? LOL~!!

*Flora and Kristine*

I don’t know why but people seemed to be amazed with my double ponytail..

I know right, not many guys have double ponytail..I’m just standout wtf..

*Kimberlycun, Mellissa, and KY*

That’s Kimberlycun, my biao jie giving me lessons on how to pick up gwai lous..Unfortunately, there was only one gwai lou in the party..

Mellissa, came back from Melbourne and KY will be busier than ever..LOL~!!!

I shall skip all the stories which I bet you’d already read them somewhere else..I’ll just share the pics I’ve snapped on that night..Continue for more random pics..

DGMB 1 Year Anniversary Cum Bloggers Movie Meet 3 @ Cineleisure12

On 26th of April 2009, which was like 1 month ago, was the very date we “Definitely Gang, Maybe Bang” (DGMB) group had another movie outing to mark our 1-year meeting anniversary..

One year ago, we watched “Definitely, Maybe” and one year after, we watched “He’s Just Not That Into You”, at the very same place, Cineleisure..

This time around, we’d opened up the meeting to more bloggers and it’s fun meeting new people and all..

Pictures all credit to Nigel, Kelli, and Joshua..95% of the pictures are from Nigel..LOL~!!

*Bloggers at McDonald’s*

We met up at Cineleisure’s McDonald’s and the turn out was quite good, about 36 of us..

It was quite a feat considering we are not any organization nor community..Actually I reckoned we could have gathered more people but some couldn’t make it or got no transport..

At about 2.30pm we roamed the cinema and took a group photo before we entered the hall and all..

*Group pic*

The movie was, nice..Simply nice, because it depicted some true events that is actually happening in our society everywhere in the world..

To find true love, involve in extra-marital affairs, and many more, that sometimes rationality couldn’t come into the picture when you are in dilemma and all..

And to my surprise, the movie has quite a number of well known actors and actresses, such as Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Jenifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Drew Barrymore, Justin Long, and few others..

I would rate it 7.5/10, thanks to its good plot and storyline..I just love it..

Read on for more lovely pics and a surprise marriage proposal from a guy to his girlfriend in the cinema..

My First Ever Nuffnang Cheque In 2 Years61

I’d pressed the “Cash Out” button in 28th March 2009 in my Nuffnang account..

It’s my first time ever doing so in 2-years time, since I joined Nuffnang back in 28th February 2007..

Yes, I’m Nuffnang’s first few tens members, now that they have more than few tens of thousands members, or maybe blogs registered under their umbrella..

I’m a proud Gliterrati, the name for a so-called exclusive Nuffnang member (without putting in any other local or SEA ads in your blogs), for so many years..

Okay, I lied..I did joined the “dark side” for quite some time before I decided to become exclusive, because the “dark side” had been conning people, I mean, bloggers..

And my decision proved me right and no regrets at all..I enjoyed wonderful privileges by becoming Gliterrati, and I don’t see any reason for any blogger out there would want to join, or even try to join the “dark side” for few days..

Okay, about my first ever Nuffnang cheque..I wouldn’t say it’s a very big amount, since it stretched back to February 2007, but I must say it took a lot of effort to reach that amount..

A lot of newbie bloggers thought that earning side incomes by blogging is very easy and some even thought that should be paid at least half, if not as much, as the so-called pro-bloggers earned..

Honestly, making money through blogging is much easier now compared to few years back..

But then again, it depends on how much effort you put in and how patient you are in making money through blogging..

Some people got so frustrated when they earn nothing after joining Nuffnang (or even the “dark side”) for say, 3-4 months..

Or maybe some said they earn peanuts after putting in the effort and all after so many months..

Sit down and think again..Does your blog has HIGH traffic like kennysia.com? Does your blog has UNIQUE or ORIGINAL content like some pro-bloggers out there?

I’m sorry to say that if you plan to start up a blog JUST to make money, NO, you won’t have that much of readership or original content..

Because you are blinded by the monetization concept and all you do is copy and paste other people’s content, and complain you are earning peanuts..

Reality check, you might just have slightly more than 10 unique visitors daily..Okay I’ll give you more, but not more than 40-50 unique visitors daily..

How can you complain that you are earning peanuts, if you want to compare with the likes of kennysia.com or many other so-called pro-bloggers?

But then again, I know, it’s actually a win-win situation where you give the advertisers a space for the ads, and of course the advertisers have to pay back (royalty) the bloggers for lending out the space..

It depends how much effort you put in and all coz logically, advertisers would want to advertise in a space that has more readers than the one that has none..

Even if for you, if you are an advertiser, for sure you want your product to be advertised in a space that has high readership..

But then, I would say you didn’t lose anything when you get to go to so many movie premiere screenings and events, all for FREE~!!

Okay, back to my cheque again..I knew it’s about time for my cheque to arrive my mailbox anytime now coz it needs slightly more than 1-month for the cheque to arrive, provided that you cash out at the end of the month (applies to Gliterrati ONLY), where in my case, I cashed out on 28th March..

So by calculation and assuming that the cheque won’t get lost while it’s on its way here from Pos Malaysia, it’s right about now..

And I was right..

*My letter*

I’m not sure whether the letter is from Nuffnang but the possibility is very, very high..

So I opened the letter..

By the way, for those who didn’t know, Yat is my surname

*Cheque statement*

As expected, my first ever Nuffnang cheque is here..Wheeeeeee~~!!!!

Okay, this is just the statement..The real cheque is here..

*Money money money*

Yes that’s right, RM1,107.89..

Like I said, the amount might not be a lot since it’s a duration of 2-years earnings, but it’s the effort that pays..

Really, some people thought I earn a lot and making fast money..I can honestly tell you that I put in a lot of effort and patience..

Don’t believe me? Right-click on the image below to view the larger image..That’s my entire earning of RM1,107.89..

*My 2-years long effort pays off*

To see my patience, see the bottom part when I first joined Nuffnang..See how much I got paid..

Few cents or even RM1-2 for the first month or so? I didn’t even write complaint mail..

No ads appeared in my blog? I didn’t even write complaint mail..

Why I know? Because I’ve heard it from few acquaintances and friends that they actually HAVE friend(s) whom wrote a complaint mail and were sent into Nuffnang’s helpdesk..I was like wtf???

The problem with money-minded bloggers nowadays, is they think that Nuffnang MUST pay them after they have registered with Nuffnang..

IMHO, I must say that Nuffnang doesn’t owe you anything, coz you are signing up for free..

BUT, Nuffnang does owe you your cash-out cheque IF you are able to press that “Cash Out” button..

And I must say that Nuffnang WILL pay the bloggers, albeit how much they cash out..

If the cheque doesn’t arrive your mailbox, it’s not Nuffnang’s problem..It’s either the bank, or Pos Malaysia problem..

You cash out, they gaodim the procedure and all, the delivery part is the responsibilities of the bank (HSBC) and Pos Malaysia..

Yes you can write in INQUIRY mail to get Nuffnang check your cheque status, should the cheque not reach your mailbox in say, 2-months time (provided you are Gliterrati)..

Hope more people understand this and also, if there’s no ads or so-called business, it’s not because Nuffnang is having a hard time to survive..

But it’s all depends on advertisers..Nuffnang is just another advertising agency..If advertisers decided to cut down on cost, it’s not even Nuffnang’s fault..

Blame the global economic crisis, will ya?

That’s when you seldom see ads appearing in your blog..Open up your mind and think..You are not only study to pass the exam but also to make you think logically..

Last but not least, THANK YOU NUFFNANG~!!!!!

Webcam The Remedy To Boredom24

What do you usually do when you online?

I would say most people does the following things, as in read blogs, read news, plurk, twit, Facebook, and chatting on IM..

But how many people could really do the same thing every single day, without getting bored?

I do believed there’s a moment where you’d feel lost, tired, and bored when you are online..

There’s nothing much to do coz you are doing it everyday..There’s nothing much to chat coz you are chatting everyday..

Recently, I found a way to cure your boredom, that’s to webcam, or some people prefer mic-chat via Skype..

Well, got nothing much to talk about, I prefer webcam..Webcam-ing gives you variety of things to talk about..Okay, it still differs to certain people..

Like how I did with Jamie..She just knows the way to get things fired up wtf..Okay I’m still using the older version of Windows Live Messenger, hence the noob interface..

First off, she showed me the whole bucket of Chupa Chups that she has in her room, right beside the PC monitor..

*Jamie and her Chupa Chups*

Okay now that’s whole lots of Chupa Chups for you to practice on your sucking and licking, literally..

I don’t know but she’s a bit too obsessed with the Chupa Chups..I’m not sure whether those are real Chupa Chups or not coz if you look at it, the candies are arranged too nicely..

I bet she doesn’t really eat them..For deco perhaps..Then I asked her to change something else as I got a bit bored looking at Chupa Chups..

She said she got lots of plushies..

*Pork-que-pine Sonic the Hedgehog*

So she showed me a porcupine hedgehog, without eyes..

Then I remember she has a Domo-kun, so I asked her to show me on webcam..But, she showed me this instead..

*Jamie with her plushie Tako wtf*

Yes, that’s one of her many many plushies, Tako the Octopussy wtf..Her Domo-kun was in another room and she’s lazy..

Then, as most friends already know, I’m a big eater, real big..And I usually get hungry around midnight, somewhere 12midnight – 3am..

So at that time, I said I was hungry coz Mr. Tako made me think of takoyaki..I’ve forgotten what time was it..Most likely between 1am – 2am..

Telling her that I’ve had enough of instant noodles a.k.a maggi mee, she showed me this..

*A can of Pringles*

That didn’t help at all wtf..Well, before my mom passed away, she used to buy lots of junk food just in case I get hungry at night or just to munch the day away..

Junk food varies from Pringles, Muzic chocolate waffles, Mister Potato, Twisties, etc etc..

Well, she knows that my finals is just around the corner, so she gave me the Magic 8-Ball..

*Jamie and her magic ball*

Now you see, webcam-ing gives you lots of topics to kick start your dull day or a fresh-up on a moody day..

Now don’t you want to start webcam-ing?

Time flies and what do you know..DGMB has been in existence for 1 year, unknowingly..

For those who doesn’t know anything about DGMB at all, here’s what DGMB stands for, “Definitely Gang, Maybe Bang”..

It’s an excerpt from the movie “Definitely, Maybe”, which we added in the word “Gang Bang” to make it look awesome like that..

That’s us before we went into the hall for our movie, “Semestinya, Mungkin” wtf..LOL..

Hmm, if it’s in Malay, then it will be “Semestinya Geng, Mungkin Langgar/Tembak”..LOL WTF~!!!

I still remember how we conquered Innit Top 10 Board and it feels like just yesterday *ponders*..

And from that day onwards, we’ve tagged ourselves DGMB for numerous outings and events..

Well, we started off DGMB as a 17 people group, but due to unforeseen problems and arguments, people come and people go..

Now we are left with 7 REALLY active people, 3 try-my-best-to-make-it people, 4 inactive people, 2 studying abroad, and 1 left..

Anyway, to commemorate such incredible feat, we are doing it again, another movie outing on 26th April 2009, Sunday..

This time, the movie would be another click flick, He’s Just Not That Into You..

This time we are hoping that other bloggers could join us~!! Who knows we might clique together gather and have another orgy session wtf..

So who’s coming for the movie? Let us know and we’ll book the tickets..Do let us know in advance please..

Don’t last minute FFK~!!!!

Nuffnang Music Bash 09 Powered By Maxis Broadband @ Maison – Contests & Games9

Make love, not war..Check out Red Carpet if you have not..

Okay, here’s what we got from the games and contests..

By the way, I went as John Lennon okay..Some came up to and asked, “Who are you ah?”..I stared cock at them..How can you not recognise the hippy style?!?!

Okay fine..One came up to me and said to me, “Are you a Red Indian??”..I stared cock him as well..I mean, which part of me look like Red Indian, other than the head band..

Then, Germaine asked me, “Are you Pocahontas??”..I was like WTF~?!?!! Which part of me look like Pocahontas and which of Pocahontas looks like music celebrity to you??? =_______=

Photos credit to Aaron, by using Andrew‘s Nikon D300..

Not any great games as compared to previous events but I must say that it’s relatively relevant to its theme, Music Bash..

So everything that we’ve played, we’ve done, we’ve enjoyed, we’ve laughed, all based on music thingy..

So first off, Liang picked up 6 contestants, 3 girls and 3 guys, to compete in the sing-your-lung-out contest wtf..

*The participants and Liang the funny guy*

Well, not that I know who are they, I only know Bryan and Zach, and the eventual winner for guys was Bryan and the winner for female was Natalie..

They won a pair of sunglasses from…..I don’t know what brand is that..Ask them yourself..

Then, another game went on..Another 4 participants went up the stage..

They were Jeffro, Jason, Hitomi, and, the girl in that sexy dress, I’ve forgotten her name..Yvonne or something? LOL wtf..

*Jason and Jeffro showing their thang*

Okay, the catch was, they have to follow the dance or the moves in the MTV of Single Ladies by Beyonce..See the screen on the background..

*Hitomi and the other girl, is it name Yvonne?*

Even Hitomi couldn’t resist laughter and all coz it was so funny and hilarious that the whole club laughed at it..

*Liang doing it..Then Evelyn and Ben went on stage*

The Liang gave another chance to other bloggers and it was Evelyn and Ben’s luck to win an Armani belt..Is it Armani? Or CK? Forgotten..Bummer..

Okay, it proves that Evelyn did better than the other two and Jeffro still kicked ass..Ben, apa la luuuu..

More about The Nuffnang All Stars, Jai Ho dance, and most rationale reason why I got nominated for Best Impersonator..
