Well, the important thing about blogging is to write what you honestly believe in or if you're actually living it, even better. You'd be able to express your view to be shared to the world, be heard and appreciated of. Just be realistic - satisfaction guarantee. I have an example: myfingerscrossed.blogspot.com hahaha!
A quick post to inform you about the MPH Sale which starts today and ends Sunday, March 7.
Prices of books will be slashed up to 30%, so if you're like me (who can't quite resist from buying a book whenever I walk into a bookstore), this will be a good time to visit MPH.
Oh, one more thing. MPH will also be at AMBP's next gathering, which will be sooner than you expect. Watch this space for more info.
Music CD Bonanza: Bon Jovi Winners
For those of you who took part in our last Music CD Bonanza, well there's good news - if you took part and sent in your entries BEFORE the closing date, you're a winner. Yes, each and every one of you.
We've already sent notifications via e-mail to the winners (if it's in our database), but apparently some of you didn't get it. Have you tried looking in your spam folder? Anyway, just give me a buzz at 03-7967 1388 ext 1118, to find how you can collect your CD and poster.
Sorry, I haven't been around here much. I've been in this weird place, a sort of limbo, where I was tasked to help with something else, and because of that I had to put AllMalaysia.info and AMBP on hold, and well, long story short, we get the echo.
But I now find myself back here, so I thought heck, lets get back to something familiar, just to tide us over till Christmas and the new year, and figure out where we're gonna go from there. And what's more familiar around these parts than the Music CD Giveaway Contest?
The featured rock band is a rather familiar one too - by jove! it's Bon Jovi! (Yeah, yeah I know it's lame, but hey, I always wanted to put that in a sentence, so bear with me).
The boys from New Jersey, recently released their eleventh studio albumThe Circle, and if guitarist Richie Sambora is to be believed, you'll dig this one 'cos it rocks hard. This is what he said to Rolling Stone Magazine:
"I think people are going to dig it, man. And it rocks hard".
Er, yeah. Anyway, if you're a fan, try your hand at this simple contest. We've got ten (10) copies of The Circle to give away, each of which comes with a Bon Jovi poster. You'll have to do the usual:
1) Answer this question: What's the name of Bon Jovi's latest album? 2) Post up this pic:
3) Write anything that comes to your mind about Bon Jovi (the U-rated imaginings please, ladies).
...all on your blog, then send the link to that particular blog post as a comment here. Ten (10) best entries take home the CDs.
You've got until Dec 18 to complete the above tasks. Winners will be notified by e-mail.
Oh yeah and here's a message from the sponsor: Celebrate Bon Jovi 25th Year Anniversary. Purchase the Malaysian Edition Album of Bon Jovi The Circle and get a Free Limited Edition Wall Poster While Stocks Last.
Passes to Muallaf Gala Premiere
The late Yasmin Ahmad, arguably Malaysia's most critically-acclaimed storyteller and filmmaker, through her accomplishments, has left a legacy that is at the top of the scale by any measure.
Her films are at once thought-provoking and light, inspiring and controversial, humorous and poignant, and astute and idealistic. Case in point: her fifth film Muallaf.
Now here's your chance to win an invitation to the Gala Premiere of Muallaf, details of which follow:
Venue: Cathay Cineplex Damansara Date: Dec 16, 2009 Time: 9.30pm
There are two ways you can get hold of one of the 30 double passes we have to the event above.
(1) The first is to write either a tribute to Yasmin, OR your expectations of Muallaf, on your blog by Dec 14. You'll need to provide the link to that particular post of yours, as a comment here, OR as a direct message tweet to @allmalaysia.
(2) The second option is easier though it bears less weight compared to the above. Tweet using the hashtag #ambp_muallaf. You can write whatever catches your fancy just so long as it's relevant to the tag. We'll select the ones that best catch our attention.
The contest is open to AMBP members as well as Malaysians following the @allmalaysia Twitter account.
We'll start informing the winners beginning Dec 14, with details on how you can collect your prizes. This will go on until we've run out of passes or until the cutoff point at 2pm, Dec 15.
I won't go into why it took me a few months to update this site; I'll just say there's a perfectly legitimate reason and leave it at that.
I would rather get right down to business. I've got five Eason Chan concert tickets (worth RM98 each), and several passes to Sunway Lagoon (RM90 each) to give away, and since we've just added the Twitter widget on the right, we're going to make this one a contest on Twitter.
All you need to do is tweet using the hashtag #easonchan, and we'll select the ones that best catch our attention. Yep, it's as simple as that.
This contest is open to Malaysians following the @allmalaysia Twitter account.
We'll start informing the winners as early as 11am tomorrow, with details on how you can collect your prizes. This will go on until we've run out of passes or until the cutoff point at 7pm, tomorrow (Aug 14).
Oh, and since everyone will get a combination of passes/tickets you get to choose your combination, which means you can win two Eason Chan passes; OR two Sunway Lagoon passes; OR one Eason Chan pass and one Sunway Lagoon pass; as long as the combination is available.
On a dazzling display of logic that'll warm the cockles of Spock's heart/pointy ears, we've joined forces with fellow geeks United International Pictures, Red FM, Outpost Cafe & Hobby Centre, and Gophers Technologies to beam up 100 bloggers onto Studio V at 1.30pm on May 1, 2009 for AMBP's 2009 gathering, which we've dubbed First Contact @ Studio V.
The event will be a sort of homage to helmer J.J. Abrams' new enterprise Star Trek (a reboot of the original TV/movie series) and we're hoping that it would allow you to geek out to the max, even if you're a non-Trekker.
Naturally, it will culminate with a Special Advance Screening of the much anticipated movie, a whole week before the local official release (May 7). So if you're invited to the event, you automatically get a pass to the exclusive Sneak Peek scheduled at 7pm on the day.
But don't worry. We've also cracked our heads (yes, even our Klingon warrior Sashi, whose head isn't very easy to crack), thinking up of ways to keep you busy prior to the screening.
The first of these activities takes place on cyberspace. It's an Online Contest for you restless souls who just want something to do (and win) while waiting for the day of the event to arrive.
You can tell us in advance if you're going to participate in any of the activities we've lined up for the day, when you register to attend the event. Just log in, and tick the relevant boxes.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll try to answer as logically as possible.
Send eCards = Hotel Stay + Cash
Now that's a seemingly illogical equation that'll drive a Vulcan crazy!
All you need to do to put yourself in the running to win one of the prizes on offer is send ecards. Yep, it's that simple!
Sponsored by ING Malaysia, this one lets you choose your prize. And you don't even have to be an AMBP member, or a blogger for that matter. Heck, we don't even mind if you think you're a Romulan.
The contest starts on April 20, so look out for it.
