The acts for tomorrow.

Stupid China trip, Beijing Olympics and all.

*phew* what a month...work, party, work, party...didn't really have time to blog. I have so many pic of August's exploits & adventure. the Shanghai trip last month was really FARKED UP!!!!. hmmm..ok shanghai was good, but after that it was pure madness...the travelling and the waiting around was sucky. ok...let me bitch about the suckiness.

This is my itinerary:
8th August.
Departure to Shanghai :01:40am (farking delayed to 05:40am and stupid MAS didn't call to inform us.)
Reached Shanghai at lunch time instead of 7am in the morning, hence missed my morning meeting. Managed to meet up with a Business consultant (who totally got my instuctions wrong by showing me office units when i am looking for residential places.) Went for a massage afterwards.

Dinner time with a good friend whose birthday happens to fall on the Beijing Olympic opening. And she had to choose a french restaurant in upscale Shanghai that doesn't have a TV. so hence, i missed the greatest olympic ceremony in history. The only upside is the foie gras siao loong pau is excellent and the Moet Rosê kept on coming. We then proceeded to this club called Bling. It was a R&B joint, much like Velvet on a saturday. But is is only half the size of velvet..so super duper pack. Quality of music=4star, quality of chicks=5star. England speaking ladies y'all. England speaking ladies dancing on bar tops y'all. England speaking ladies dancing on bar top snogging each other y'all. Englan speaking ladies dancing on bar top slipped while snogging each other and fell on my friend head y'all...beat that...hahaha you won't find this at velvet. Super drunk, the i think between about 8 of us there, we had about 10 bottles of Moet Rosê, 3 bottles of Moet Brut Imperial, 1 Dom Perignon, 1 Hennessy VSOP, 2 bottles of Black Label and not to mention beer. and as usual, was super winging when back at the hotel.

9th August
ahhh....good thing about drinking quality booze...no hang over. :D woke up just in time for lunch, then went to another massage and foot reflexology place. Eat the Macau Pork Chop Bun...FARKING GOOD! had it the last time i was there also. :D and the dinner again...then party party. :D
ok this is when the disaster starts.

10th August.
Flight to Guangzhou is at 11:45am. Left hotel at 10am. Usually journey time is about 30mins. Got into the cab with my boss and we started reading the newspaper, but after about 20mins..i looked up and saw the surrounding..and i tot to myself...WTF are we still in the damn city. It was then i notice the reason. The cabbie was singing and driving at 50-60km/h on a farking freeway. omfg..i told him to speed it up 3 freaking times and everytime he was saying...police on high alert since it was the olympics...farking hell it was 50-60km/h. sigh...journey too about 45mins instead. Got into airport and my jaws dropped. Freaking line for the flight is damn loooooonng( shit i have to deal with by traveling coach). By the time i got to the counter, it was 11:07am. And the attendant was telling us that it is not possible for her to check us in. The system will reject check in less that 45mins before departure. oh fuck. missed out flight. and you know what is the next available flight to Guangzhou??? 8:45pm. Roamed around the airport and managed to find another flight to guangzhou at 2:30pm...but it is in farking HONGQIAO AIRPORT...(sigh. which is located in the city...15mins from where my hotel was). So taxi back to hongqiao. lunch there and caught the flight to Guangzhou. Reached GZ at about 4:30 and had to wait for a bus to go to Dongguan(no freaking airport here). Bus to dongguan is at 5:30pm and the journey is about 1 hour. chill at the airport and then boarded the bus.

reached dongguan at 6:30pm (no delay this time). Met up with boss' friend to pick us up. And guess what, bus station to our hotel is 1 hour away by car. So by the time i reach the hotel (at least it is 5 star) for check-in is 7:30pm. super tired and super hungry. freshen up a little....8pm went to lobby to eat. and then met up with more of my boss' friends. party party...drink drink went back hotel at 12am...not drunk at all...but super tired from all the travelling.

11th August.
Woke up early at 9am. Ate breakfast, and proceeded to another merry go round. This time we had to go to government offices to source for info to register our company in china. As usual, merry go round of the government office. Oh you have to go there first before coming here, then after that you have to go to another place to fill up the form then you have to come back here and so forth. so from 10am to 3pm...it was travelling up and down dongguan city. craziness. and plus it was raining...the only upside again, was lunch...food was excellent. had to make my way to the bus station and catch a bus to shenzhen back to KL. flight was air asia at 8:45pm. and the bus was schedule to leave Dongguan at 4:30pm and the travel time is about 1 hour as well. So I thought, cool...i will reach shenzhen at 5:30 with loads of time to spare and shop and dinner a little at the airport before checking in, which requires 2 hours before flight. (which i though i have plenty of). DING DING DING guess what... the min the bus left the station and hit the high way in dongguan .....bumper to bumper traffic....and being in a bus i can see how long it stretches. i went...OMFG....this cannot be happening...so what the heck...tookout my laptop and watched a movie while waiting....i finished the movie and guess what...we are still in a crawl...this really really sucks. and to top it all off....i need to pee!!! reason for the jam??? stupid 18 wheeler truck overturned and make a 4 lane freeway to 1 lane....idiot!

Reached Shenzhen airport at..................730pm. And if i am not checked in 45mins before flight time which is 8pm, i will miss my flight again. got off the bus and ran (ok walked really fast) into the terminal and only to realise that it is the WRONG TERMINAL!!! fark.this is the domestic terminal...and i need to walk about 400m or so to the International terminal. damn it. while walking...i saw shops shops shops and restaurants...oh...did i mention i was freaking hungry already. And by the way, i peed already by this time. Security check...security check...security check....3 times in total. Checked in with 5 mins to spare. Asked the attendent whether do they have food in the terminal...she said yes...ok cool. i'll eat while waiting for my flight. and guess what...i went into the terminal and i swear to god i ain't going to bitch about LCCT in kl anymore. LCCT makes the lcct termimal in shenzhen looks like it is an airfield airport. fark...there is only 1 book store which sells mainly chinese language magazines and newspaper and only 1 cafe which sells only Unagi Rice and Beef Brisket Noodle...sigh. had the noodles...and tsingtao tsingtao tsingtao.

845pm flight departure back to LCCT....DING DING DING REWIND!!!...didnt get...Air Asia flight delay to 930. FARKING HELL!!!!! flight delay in a stupid terminal with nothing to do is pretty sucky. sigh..what to do..tsingtao tsingtao tsingtao again. finally boarded and was well on my way back to kl. i tot i could catch some sleep...was super tired from the travelling...eyes was red and all...sigh...bumped into a friend on flight who is working as a flight attendant with air asia. chatted and chatted....so didn't really get much sleep. all in all..by the time i reach back into my bed, all showered and all was 3.30am. That about sums up my recent trip to china...ok and now for some pics..:D only times when i was happy....times when i was feeling sucky becos of the delay and all, i was busy bitching and didn't have time to take pics. hehehhe

:D

Hawt Hor??

Lastly, this is Jolene.

am i getting famous?? or is it notorious??

Of late, i have ppl whom i barely know or ppl that i've known for some time telling me that they really envy my job. primarily becos part of my job involves hawt girls. :) basically being in advertising and events, i am put in charge of the selection and the coordination of girls that works during my events. Well, in my opinion, it is a dream job for most of the guys. Initially, i thought it was cool doing this and i get to meet a lot a lot of hawt girls. but then in some cases when client do not have enough budget, getting turned down by girls not willing to work for that amount can be a let down. but when they do, its one hell of a job. :) but as time goes by, its getting mundane and when you are dealing with girls who are new to you or new to the industry, they get somewhat hard to handle. But I do have my set of favourites though. ;)

only today i had another event in the afternoon and was surrounded with some pretty hawt chicks as shown below. :)

Sanny & Franklene with some of the items for the Auction.

Sanny & Franklene with who else ;)

Andrea & Yee Yew with JM1

Andrea & YeeYew with JM1 again. ;) oh by the way, they are my new favourites.

And in the evening, i went to a Hennessy Artistry appreciation dinner and drinks with the management team from Hennessy for a job well done for the recent hennessy artistry event at bukit kiara that showcased Pop Shuvit, Machi and Flo Rida. Had dinner and Nero Vivo and the proceeded to Werner's at cangkat bukit binting. while having drinks there...the manager of that place, Andreas, came over and said "hey, you are Alex Lye right?" i was dumbfounded and instantly thought to myself, " damn it, where the heck did i meet you before? was i drunk??" and before words can fly out from my mouth...he went.." you are the one posting up all those pics on facebook"....hahaha...all i could do it laughed. Damn it...i dun even know him and he has been checking out my facebook pics. Hell, he isn't even on my friends list. and i think he was just doing his job, getting to know me....introducing me to Werner's and the food, the drinks, the cocktails. I guess in hope that I will be bringing my friends back to Werner's more. hahaha. and before you know it, we had 5 plates of canapes within 10 mins.

so thats it...famous or notorious??? i dun give a damn, i am getting free food....next up...BRING ON THE BOOZE!!!

My 2 new toys......:D

WOOT! I am having so much fun with my two new toys....firstly, my company got me a brand new HP Pavillion dv2700t laptop that comes with a Blu Ray drive(which means i can watch Blu Ray high definition movie). And as it is marketed as a entertainment PC or laptop, it comes with a remote control to for the media player. Hell, i can even shutdown the laptop with the remote. and it also comes with a touch sensitive media control panel. It has fingerprint recognition and all that mumbo jumbo. Carbon fiber back cover which a shiny arty decorated cover. And the audio is pretty cool. Altec Lansing Speakers. Hahaha. Ever since i gotten this new laptop i am taking it back home all the time. Previously with my old dell, i just leave it at the office...:D

The carbon fibre shiny black cover.

Altec Lansing Speakers Y'all

Touch Sensitive Media Control panel

Fingerprint reader for security purpose.

Blu Ray Drive. :) Blu Ray movies...here i come.

Overall look and feel of it.

And secondly, i just bought myself an ultra cool Marc Jacobs Silver Aviator sunnies. It was a hit at Paul van Dyk at Zouk, everyone was taking a pic with it. Check out the pics on my Facebook Album. It was a totally random purchase....went in...saw it...love it....buy it. And all of a sudden, i think Marc Jacobs sunnies are pretty funky. Stylish, luxurious and yet affordable. I saw a few Dita sunnies though but i think it is just too expensive for my taste and wallet. :(

My Marc Jacobs sitting on my laptop.

With its very nice casing.

My 2 ultra cool toys.

Partying it up with Flo Rida and Machi in Space, KL and Cynna.

I won't need to say much but we were totally crowded with ppl wanting to take pics with Flo and Machi. Hahah luckily we had a huge body guard and the security were tight. We can see one by one chicks just wanna come in to snap a few pics. Heheh enough talk...here are the pics.

Hennessy Artistry 2008 Press Conference @ KL Hilton with Flo Rida, Machi, DJ Latin Prince and Pop Shuvit

It was a pretty good, casual affair. For the first time, Hennessy recognised bloggers and the online community as a important part of the media. A huge bunch of blogger turned up to witness this event. As usual, the artists were more than happy to answer questions posed by everyone. All though i would say the Malaysian media people are a quiet bunch... they should at least pose some real questions or the PR company should have prepared some standard questions for the media people.

But overall it was good. Am going to party with Flo Rida and Machi at Space & Cynna after the press conference...muahahahaha

Here are some pics.

Friends with Benefits...(another type of benefit)

Sometimes you wonder whether should you take advantage of friends with benefit. would you feel bad it it benefits you?? someone once said to me that I am not a good person if you take advantage of your friends be it to climb the corporate ladder, get business or even try to get to know some other people. But my rational is somewhat different from that point of view, whats the point of having friends when you can't use them to climb the corporate ladder, get business, get to know other people, having them listen to your problems, having them with you when you are happy and all. The mother of all success are knowing people people and people. Regardless what walks of life they may be. There is another saying which i am sure a lot of u will be familiar with, it is not what you know but who you know.

I have no qualms about taking advantage of my friends because i allow them to take advantage of me as well. it is something i call networking. I may have some value that they would require and in exchange there was be a barter or products or services. The more value you bring to your friends, the more ppl you will eventually know. Value doesn't just means service and products. It can mean being a true friend when someone is in need of a patient ear or a shoulder to cry on. That is also considered value.

Nevertheless, what I wanna share is that it is good to have friends and lots of friends. And if some of them do bring additional benefits, by all means, shower me with them. :D Bottomline is, being the mambo freak that I am, I just received 2 free tickets to the Here and Now 2008 concert in Arena of Stars Genting on March 21. And it is right next to the VIP Section at PS3. And i might be getting more. Compliments of Friends with Benefits. :D

10) Joey Yung - Public performance at a Causeway Bay Shopping mall @ Hong Kong.
11) Sheila Majid - Coway Launch @ Carcosa Seri Negara
12) Ning Baizura - Samsung Launch @ KL Convention Centre.

All in all, I would say 2007 was a pretty entertaining year for me and lets hope that 2008 will be even better. :D

Mambo of the day......

excerpts from wikipedia.

"A Little Respect" is a song by British synth pop duo Erasure, released as the third European (and second American) single from their album The Innocents. Known as one of their signature tunes, "A Little Respect" continued Erasure's success on the UK singles chart, where it hit number four and became the band's fifth Top 10 single in that country. In Germany the single peaked at number thirty-four. "A Little Respect" became Erasure's second consecutive Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it climbed to number fourteen. It also hit number two on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

Written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, the heavily-synthesized instrumentation is accentuated by acoustic guitar and Bell's use of falsetto in the chorus. The lyrics are an empowering plea to a lover to show compassion and respect. The song has also become a gay anthem, due to both the lyrical content and singer Bell's status as one of the first "out" gay artists in pop music. The song has also been featured on the American sitcom Scrubs as a favorite song of the character Dr. Wen.

"A Little Respect" is arguably Erasure's most covered song, having been remade by artists such as Almighty Allstars and ABBA-tribute group Björn Again. Alternative rock group Wheatus had the most success with a cover version of "A Little Respect" — in 2001 their version out-did Erasure's on the UK singles chart by peaking at number three. Argentine band Attaque 77 made a Spanish version: "Un Poco de Respeto", included in their album Otras Canciones (1997). The Silence 4 has also covered this song.

Mambo of the day...

and is a specially requested song by a buddy of mine...Mr. Roy Ho.

by wikipedia.

For the similarly-named music festival held every year in October in Hong Kong's Victoria Park, see Rockit Hong Kong Music Festival.

"Rockit" is a hit song recorded by Herbie Hancock. It was released as a single from his 1983Future Shock. The song was written by Hancock, bass guitarist Bill Laswell and synthesizer/drum machine programmer Michael Beinhorn. album

Constructed and composed during the recording process at various studios, including Martin Bisi's in Brooklyn NY , "Rockit" was perhaps the first popular single to feature scratching and other turntablist techniques, performed by Grand Mixer DXT - an influential DJ in the early years of turntablism - using turntables as a musical instrument. Many later turntablists have cited "Rockit" as revelatory, inspiring their interest in the instrument.

The single was a major radio hit in the United Kingdom but more of an underground hit in the United States. The humorous music video, directed by duo Godley & Creme and featuring robot-like sculptures (by Jim Whiting) moving in time to the music, was among the earliest videos to feature African Americans on MTV and garnered five MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, including Best Concept Video and Best Special Effects. Hancock himself appears and plays keyboard only as an image on a television, which is smashed on the sidewalk in the closing shot.

In 1985 at the Grammy Awards, Hancock performed "Rockit" in a synthesizer jam which also featured Thomas Dolby, Howard Jones and Stevie Wonder.

In 1986 it was featured in the Soviet film The Courier alongside a hip hop dance sequence making it one of the songs to introduce hip-hop to the USSR. The song was later remixed by V-Video, an early Russian video company, to be played with its logo.

It is also featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and is included in its soundtrack box-set. The song was also used in the movies Zoolander and Kickin' It Old Skool. It is also used in the video game NBA Street: Homecourt when a gamebreaker move is activated. A remix of "Rockit" is one of the playable songs in the PlayStation 2 game Amplitude. It also appears in The Simpsons episode Treehouse of Horror XVI.

"Rockit" lends its name to a range of vintage stores in London, as well as a Toronto music venue.

"Rockit" is also featured in a Visa commercial.

Excerpts from Wikipedia

Last Train To London is the title of a track from the Electric Light Orchestra album Discovery.
Released in the UK as a double A side with Confusion. However, in the US the two songs charted separately, with Confusion charting in late-1979, followed by Last Train to London in early 1980.
The song, with different lyrics, was covered by Atomic Kitten as Be With You.

This is the original by ELO

Zombified!

After a night working till 5am at home and coming back to work at 10am, my eyes looked exactly like a druggie that have not had his fix. Bloodshot and with bags hanging. To my surprise, i come into the office seeing my colleagues all battle weary from the all nighter at the office. But the 12pm deadline for the proposal submission for one of our major clients are met. And yes, I stayed back to finish up my part for ANOTHER major proposal submission tomorrow at 2pm. Below are the scenes of the office at 3pm after a late lunch.

Excerpts from Wikipedia

Here is another one of my fav. upbeat tune...

"Holding Out for a Hero" is a song by Bonnie Tyler that was originally released in 1984 and appears on her Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire album. Written by Jim Steinman and Dean Pitchford, it hit #2 on the UK charts in 1985 (and #69 in 1991) and #34 on the US charts on initial release.
The song originally appeared on the soundtrack to the film Footloose and was the theme to the CBS show Cover Up. The song has continued to appear in films such as Short Circuit 2, Who's Harry Crumb?, Bandits (along with Total Eclipse of the Heart), and Shrek 2, where it was performed separately by both Frou Frou and Jennifer Saunders. It was also used in the background of a famous scene in the 1984 episode of the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives, where anti-hero Bo Brady races to stop the love of his life, Hope Williams, from marrying the despicable Larry Welch.
It has been covered by a number of artists, including Emery, Graveworm and, as mentioned, Frou Frou and Jennifer Saunders on the Shrek 2 soundtrack. It was also featured on the pilot episode of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman in the famous "costume making marathon" scene.
More recently, the song featured as the 2007 Surf Life Saving Australia Mardi Gras float's theme song in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade.
