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.
