I’ve been terribly busy since the year started. Busy is good i believe.. for that means i’m not sitting around idle. However it is also good to have a bit of a breather every once in a while. Just so that I can tell my brain and body that hey, you’ve worked enough, it’s time for some chill out time… Even though i don’t have the time to chill out :S

All the same I managed to just have a good time at the Carlsberg Party :) I managed to drag Giden along with me to the event which i’m quite sure he had fun too. Managed to see a number of familiar faces too hehe.. not too mention one of our mutual gal friends happens to be in the top 12 finalist for the FHM Girls Next Door. Her name is Lesley people! and go vote.

And i haven’t done this in a while, where i blog about an event and then show tons and tons of pictures.. So here goes.

Host of the night was Stephanie Tan and she started the night off with a drinking game.

Not getting into the details of it.. i managed to sneak myself out of the game :P Was about to take a sip…

But decided against it.. Hey i one glass is enough with the calories and all the beer was free flowing. Whoopsie daisies. Good for me too. I want to also just say (allow me to be bimbette for a bit), I really like my top ^_^

However Giden didn’t manage to get out of the small contest. This was the group he was ‘unfortunately’ planted with.

Game: Two groups suppose to compete to finish all four glasses of Carlsberg beer laid out on the table. I would like to say that the team my dear boy was on won and managed to get some free goodie bags. However it just wasn’t meant to be. I think the FHM girl group won. Man they can really chug down their beer!

Hah eat that boys in the other teams. Naturally there had to be a photo session with the top 12 finalist for the FHM Girls Next Door.

Followed by my own session of snap taking with the other girl bloggers for the nite. Below EmerynYann, Me and Jocelyn Coco.

Then came another game for the night, where one had to collect as many balloons as possible. Out of those balloons, some had a snowflake on them like the ones Simon over here is trying desperate to grab at. He really collected a number of balloons. And if there is some dot or marking on the snowflake then you get to win a prize. Something like that….

Ahh familiar faces : Aaron Ho, Me, Joshuaongs and YapThomas

We took another pic, because see the girl on the calendar : Hui Jeat. Hehe the boy in glasses (take a guess who) was trying his darnest to find the girl in that picture. It’s hot I will say, very hawt! Poor thing for the boy in glasses, she had already left the party.So making a small shout out to the finalists:

“Hui Jeat, if you are reading this please comment, cause my friend wants to meet you :P

Ah and a picture with the girl who won the Carlsberg trinket contest. Junjunriko, she’s got amazingly big eyes. Congrats again on the win!

Can you believe that my dear honey, actually new the emcee from a very long time ago in Penang? The world never ceases to amaze me in how small it is.

 

Met up with some new friends too. Here is Ev Ooi and his lovely girlfriend Selena. We were trying to take a shot with my tiny camera.. then Evo had to bring out his big slr camera and did the camwhore shot with it. :S hmmph made my camera feel so insecure :P

There is a story why i took this picture. Everyone just kept bumping into this table, which happened to have a number of drinks on it. I was just waiting for that table to tip over and make a loud commotion .. heh.

Here is the lovely Lesley Yong that I mentioned earlier.

Me and another finalist Julia Moh. She’s such a sweet person :)

And with Yvonne Sim. Who i must say has a very cute swimsuit picture.

Carlsberg private party room and a wall filled with their “special brew”.

And that was it! Thanks again to Carlsberg for the party and the invite :) I had lots of fun and met tons of new people. Always a good thing.. especially in my profession hehe.

As a small update. I didn’t manage to win the Carlsberg Christmas Tree Contest. For two major reasons.

  1. The winner of the contest, was just mad!But I mean it in a good way, she really went all out to get herself that free party at Carlsberg. She had trinketized her tree with over 1200 people!!! One Thousand Two Hundred people!!! I only had a measily…. 230..??? I think

    Anyhoo the winner – Junjunriko, was a tough person to beat. And I would like to congratulate her.  Well done on playing the game to it’s utmost potential babe!
  2. Now the other reason.. I don’t know why but i couldn’t trinket my tree anymore after a while :( It could be the fact that maybe i must have screwed up something in the system, because i was actually trying to be faster and did the trinketing with two browser windows open. :S I tried clearing the cache nothing, i signed out and into facebook again.. nothing. Oh well it just wasn’t meant to be for me to win with this tree….

However I got a wonderful note just yesterday saying that I am invited to the party by Carlsberg!

Woot wootttt!!

So in other words the other parts of hardwork and trying to get many people on my tree was not in vain. I still get to party at Carlsberg and meet new people along with familiar faces. Wheeeeee

I look forward to meeting you guys at the party! And thanks again Carlsberg.

It is that time of the year again. Where we bring much joy and cheer. And what more to do it than with a bottle of Carlsberg beer. Lol I hadn’t realized that the sentence has rhymes in it. Last year, a friend of mine Davina Goh had entered the FHM Girls Next Door 2009 contest. She managed to be one of the top ten finalist and even then I’m already proud of her for getting that far! The FHM Girls Next Door contest has started again and this time you can get invites to the PARTY!!! And just to give you a taste of who the contestants are… I’m putting up my Top 4 (Girls please don’t hate me – you are all gorgeous!) clip_image002clip_image004 clip_image006clip_image008 Well those are my top 4 anyway. Want to know their names or see more of the other contestants? Then head on to the fan page! For all you know, you may actually KNOW one of the girls that have been nominated in as one of the finalist. Really is a Carlsberg Nice One :P Ok now how is this related to anything techy? Well look on below and you’ll see that in order to get invites to the FHM Girls Next Door 2010 Party you will need to first of all play a little game on facebook. For those who aren’t already familiar with the infamous social medium head on to Facebook and make yourself an account to check out the pretty ladies on this year. How? **Did I also mention you can have a party hosted at the Carlsberg HQ for free if you win?** Follow the instructions below. You have to play a game I call “hanging your friends on the Christmas tree”. :P Basically the more friends you hang on the tree as little trinkets, your tree will get taller and taller. Step 1 – Head on to The Carlsberg Application here clip_image010 Step 2 – Pick a friend.. any friend and choose a pic from their photos. clip_image012 Step 3 – Add your friend to your trinket tree. clip_image014 Now repeat! And keep doing it to make your tree bigger and bigger. All the best to you fellow contestants. I’m also going ahead to make my tree grow hehe. You can find out more about how to get that big party by Carlsberg here. **Little disclaimer this is an advertorial**
Pictures for your blog… I always found it an issue. There are occassions when I went I went to express something with not just words but with pictures too. I find that a picture can speak a thousand words, far more that what I can sum up at times on my little blog. It’s not such an eyesore too if i just flooded an entire entry with words words and more text. Image search is forever a handy tool when i need an image.  Which is why i was happy to stumble on this site called Acobox. The site offers a variety of pictures to any blogger. Blog images are now just a click and link away.  No longer would i have to waste my time looking for pictures without a watermark. No more will i have to put in too much effort cropping and editing images. Acobox has everything all laid out for you in their gallery list, I’ll throw in a few examples too. :) :   Landscapes  Blog Pictures | acobox.com Architecture  Blog Pictures | acobox.com This image of Himeji is just lovely. Hah… I wonder when will be the day I will have enough cash just to make a trip down to Japan. Still something that’s on my long long to do list. Culture & entertainment  Blog Pictures | acobox.com This reminds me of the movie 21. It was about a young college boy – bit of a smart alec – who was recruited into a gambling crew that would make their way to Las Vegas every weekend and count the cards. Till now I still don’t get how they count the cards to get a win for 21. But yeah this black and white of the hands holding the deck reminds me of that movie… In fact any deck of cards would make me think of that movie now. lol. Other Blog Pictures | acobox.com
Not a bad list and the pictures are gorgeous too. :) Go give the place a try out, maybe it will help you the next time you need to look for images for your blog post.
