Found this on noel's blog. Pretty cool.






Though the hard part is catching the fly.
Anyone up for it?

For the past month, korkor has been out working nearly 18 hours everyday. It's so lonely at home nowadays, I can eat crackers and the falling crumbs will sound like a meteor strike. HE PROBABLY SLEEPS at work for 6 hours and just continues there.

"No, but I have a lot of paperwork to do, but during the day time I have to dart around to see clients,"

DON'T LIE YOU DARN BADGER.

Haha but frankly la, I was getting quite worried so I asked him "WHAT ON EARTH ARE DO YOU DO THERE?!"

He says "campaign la."

So I say "campaign, people still come home to sleep before 12am!"

He says "this one is big campaign la."

And evidently enough, after a whole month, his work finally paid off. So ladies and gentleman, presenting, the Maxis SME community.


TheStar, Saturday, 28 July 07, Business Section

The concept of this campaign relates to Small-Medium Enterprises(SMEs) and their relationships with their outsourced facilities. This is because SMEs don't have a large enough infrastructure to supply their own resources, so they subscribe for them externally. And in this case, guanxi is the relationship with the company's outsourced parties. Therefore, Maxis has offered a SuperDuperBourneUltimatum rate of 10sen/min within an SME community that a Maxis customer sets up, and also other benefits.

And Korkor works as an accounts executive at Ogilvy, situated in Pusat Bandar Damansara.

No, it's not a very senior position. An accounts executive liaisons with the company's clients, in this case Maxis. Ogilvy is an international advertising company with, well, I've not seen it yet but, a tremendous track record.



So everyday he goes to the client's place and basically says "oh, you want it like this?" and then comes back to his office and says "oi designers! copyrighters! and whoever-is-in-the-team-ers! client wants this done!" and then continues on to chase them till their deadlines.

Actually he's wearing that Maxis SME t-shirt now and it looks quite nice if you're wearing the right size, so I wondered, where did he get it?



Well here's where it's from. At some opening talk which I have no idea where and when it happened. And that's probably the dude who came up with the guanxi idea. Korkor calls him Uncle Boon or something.



After working almost 18 hours a day, almost 7 days a week (yes, he ponteng church sometimes), he still has the hairy balls to tell us

"Oh, another 2 campaigns coming up with Maxis also. But this one requires double the work. =) "



Wah Lanjiao Tetek Gong spycam. So that's what he's been doing at the office lah. Kononnya "campaign" "campaign" all.

Crap if he sees this he's gonna hunt me down.



The campaign will be going nationwide in the next two weeks. In fact, it's already spreading so fast in the city! It's already posted up on this blog,



standing beside the walkways,



and hung up on the ceilings!

Looks like it's really hyped up behind the scenes! Well then, it's time for jonming.com to lend a helping hand and hype it up on the road. Presenting to you,



"Omg Jeremy, did you see the giant advertisement near the Kolo Mee shop?!"

Yes that's right. Another draggy post about my boring little running gadgets. But no, this post is no ordinary post just about gadgets. It also features our very own nation's pride, our country's glory. come on now, say it with me.


MERDEKA!

MERDEKA!

MERDEKA!


xD



In corroboration with Malay Land's 50th Birthday, I was invited to the Nike+ Merdeka Challenge few days ago, and I thought, bah, who in their right minds would wanna race to the Most Kilometers in 31 days. These people must really be serious runners then. But then I thought again. If I don't do this, I'll never utilise this darn Nike iPod thing in my entire life. And anyway, check out the KL vs Selangor Challenge that just ended!



Now that's what i'm talking about man. You just have to attach the sensor to your slipper or your college shoe, and just, live your life normally! yay! a free iPod nano!


That was one of the days my sensor suddenly worked properly. on normal days, it just sucks.

So here I am again, reigniting my passion for running, keeping a healthy heartbeat rate and looking for chicks online.




Even Gloria Ting is in this thing! Gloria Thing. Gloria Ting. Oh heavens, if even she's into this gadget, God knows how many hundreds more of them are! I mean seriously! check it out man, there's a Miniacs staying in PJ! and a chinyit from Kota Kinabalu! and someone else from Kelate. wherever that is.



Okay I better stop that. They might probably be guys. I mean what kinda woman in their right mind would waste 138 buckeroos on some dumb gadget that you shove in your shoe.

Eventhough so, the shoe costs a staggering RM300++, so I myself could only afford a pair of New Balance 767's. Nevertheless! These shoes are so comfortable, it can probably take me 50 miles before it melts down.


I know I sound like those people obsessed with their own possessions, but...
woohoo! my 767's! love them to bits. <3>



Oh my loyal NB shoes. poor thing! you've got mud on you!

Oh and speaking about the Nike+ shoe, if you wanna know how it really looks like, this is where the sensor is placed.



Then an extra flap is placed on top of it for dampening protection. And furthermore if you're a geeky or techie person and you wanna know how it looks like inside the sensor, here it is:



Damn that's one helluva of tiny gadget. Too bad they didn't make the Nike+ iPod pack pink in colour. Because if they did, can you imagine the number of pink lovers out there. I mean Natalie and Debra are already there... Cheesie's another one... and Joyce? Geez man I should really start demanding royalty. These are brilliant ideas!



Okay anyway, back to the point. I've got Subang 10km Run coming up in August, and I wanna finish it in under 50 minutes. That makes a possible 5 minutes per kilometer.

Even korkor has already taken action. He bought an armpouch to put your keys, phone, money, watch, ipod, potato chips, laptop... aiya whatever you can fit in a small pouch la.



And all I have is this miserable little sensor which isn't really effective. BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE DARN NIKE+ SHOE!!!

GERAMNYAAAAAAA.



Okay that's inevitably unbuyable already. But the armband isn't.


Oh that's damn sexy man. OH COME ON YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT.

Yes you've guessed it. it's the Nike+ iPod Sports Armband! It's actually different from the normal iPod armbands because it's got a little extension compartment to fit the receiver docking the iPod.



It comes in Gray/Black and Black/Red. Shit man seriously this one is irresistible. HAVE TO BUY. LIKE NOW.



Check out the black one! Doesn't it looks so comfortable and attractive. If I had one, I tell you once i put it on, I'll automatically attract the eyes of all the passerbies in the radius of 50 meters. Especially the girls.



You know you can't resist looking. =)

Firstly I'd like to thank my parents for providing me with a car that has a roof and four wheels, so that it can take me places which my feet can't. And secondly, I'd like to thank




and




for kindly giving me the best directions anyone could have given me.

none.

I mean come on man, why does Streetdirectory Singapore have the all the cool features with directions from anywhere in Singapore to anywhere in Singapore.





I mean, it's so easy! they just search for your destination, type in their address, or wherever they're starting from, and just one click away, they get such detailed step-by-step instructions and even a trip meter.





And omg! they even have the little cute signs for each step! Go straight, turn left, turn right, filter left...

I think for Malaysia, the only sign we would get is





Malaysia Boleh man.





And for Google Earth, gosh it's so confusing they might as well call it





Haha omg can you imagine if they had Google Mars.


"Houston, do you copy. Reporting position at crater 572G, Requesting nearest 7-Eleven Stop, over."





"Confirming report, Team Google. Nearest 7-Eleven is located 2 Mountains, 7 Craters and 634 200 rocks NorthWest from your position, over."


OKAYLAR DON'T SIDETRACK CAN.

Anyway, it's not so bad lah. They've got their pros and cons. Although there isn't a directions feature, there's at least the familiar road names and landmarks.




(Guess where my house is!)




Anyyywaayyyyy.

So we decided to take a Chilling Down South trip to Putrajaya, at some lake they call Taman Wetlands last Tuesday.

Yes, we didn't know the actual directions, and no, Google Earth and StreetDirectory didn't help much.





So we reached there and I said, wow! those are the 5 islands! So cool man.








And I looked left and said hey! that's the mansion looking building! Double cool man.






Turns out to be quite useful also


So anyway we were mainly there for kayaking. I still don't know why I was so excited about it. It was just kayaking. I thought we could go for the windsurfing, jet-skiing or para gliding kind thing. Turned out to be that the storeroom only had kayaks and canoes. And perhaps scuba-diving gear, to find Ernest's specs.





Only Jinn took his camera along while kayaking, since the rest of us adopted the Prudence Concept and brought down our Safe n' Dry balances.

(sorryla I had 9 hour class today)

So anyway pictures in the water will be out soon. If I'm in luck.

Taman Wetlands is actually a great place to relax, to see the serene feeling of nature in your ears, and to taste the fresh aroma of calm winds.

huh. wtf.

Nola but seriously, every once in awhile, it's good for all to just jump in a car or two and head down to Putrajaya for a short getaway from the brain-killing, soul-consuming, hectic life.



Looks a bit like Keanu Reeves. but. not serious enough.



Ah, this one's better.





So in the end we had a picnic in some gazebo at shore after an RM4 per person, half-hour kayak trip, out into some brown-greenish-watered lake, probably the depth of the swimming pool in Tropicana Club.

And played our old high school games, like Power Station™ and Hand-Slap-On-Floor-Or-Double-Slap-To-Reverse-Game™.





"Snake Kao Your Aunty."





Yun, trying to do the Kenming.






Check out his expression, joe. xD


And after a few hours of serene living, it was that, the time to get back to reality and get ready for the next day.

Although I already had to rush back home for class.

At 6.30pm.

Yes, I'll describe my weird semester later.





For now, let's just enjoy the procrastination while it lasts. xD
