Contest: PUMA Suede: 45 Years Fresh #ForTheStreet

The evolution of PUMA suede - from a pair of running shoes, to basketball shoes, and now a true street icon for 45 years. In 2013, Future Suede, its lite little brother is born.

Being a PUMA fan myself, I just can't wait to get a pair for myself!

The Future Suede retains the signature 1968 profile of the Classic Suede. It's light on weight, light on suede, and has some serious futuristic tweaks: a lightweight bottom, painted midsole, and neoprene tongue. Not only that, it's also decked out with PUMA Trinomic hexagons, heel clips, and eyelets. A varnished tonal nylon and synthetic suede Formstrip for an all-over ultramodern aesthetic. Heavy on heritage but easy on the ounces, comes at the right time when crowd surfing and club hopping requires the most minimal of baggage to be able to move at the speed of light.

This Spring-Summer 2013, PUMA marks The Suede's 45th year of changing the game and the release od the soon-to-be-legend, the Future Suede, with a massive celebration through contest, events, exhibitions, TV, and digital activities across Asia-Pacific.

To kick off 'Evolution of the Suede', PUMA is inviting their fans from all around the world to be part of the contests.

One Fighting Championship - Return of the Warriors

Apology for going missing for 2 weeks. Been super busy with work and personal stuff. Barely had enough sleep. =__=

It was my first time watching live Mixed Martial Arts Tournament.

VIP Entrance ;)

The One FC Cage

Experience of watching Mixed Martial Art Tournament for the first time: Awesome! Never knew it would be so 'gan jeong' (exciting). And yes, it's so brutal at the same time. Especially the one between Peter Davis and Leo Krishna. Krishna's lips actually was torn (that's what I saw from the screen) and Davis's leg has a deep cut as well. The doctor has to call a stop to the fight because of the injury. Throughout the fights, I've hold my breath a lot as the fighters punched their way / used their best strategy to victory.

Anyway, below are the fights on that night and the winners. :) (The pictures are taken from One FC Return of Warriors photo gallery)

31012013 - Future Music Festival Asia 2013

After going for Swedish House Mafia - One Last Tour and We Love Asia, next one I can't wait to go is Future Music Festival Asia!!! Last year's was super awesome!!

Miny rant: Paid for Party Zone tickets for Swedish House Mafia, ended up the people from Chill Out Zone can just walked freely in and out of Party Zone. Seriously? I've been to so many raves, never had I encountered this kinda situation before. I don't see a point for paying extra. Not only that, according to the released set time, Swedish House Mafia's set should be at 10pm. My friend called me at 9:30pm, asking me where am I, and that Swedish House Mafia's set is on RIGHT NOW. I was like WTF? So I paid extra and got the same zone as Chill Out, missed the opening of Swedish House Mafia, and it ended at 11:30pm. It's the first time I've been to a rave that ended at 11:30pm. Don't get me wrong, Swedish House Mafia was awesome! But BOO!!! to the organizer.

We Love Asia was great too. I was there on the second day. RedFoo from LMFAO and Steve Aoki are the bomb! But one thing wasn't that good is, the songs played in between sets. The crowds were already getting high, and then they played some slower songs while keeping us waiting for the next artist. But it was still alright.

Anyway, back to Future Music Festival Asia.

Last year's FMFA was only a one day event, this year, it's back, and better. Why? Cause it's a two day party event! Kicking start with Armin Van Buuren - A State Of Trance on the first night. 

This is the full line up:

To be honest, I think that last year's line up was more awesome. Why the post suddenly got shorten? Saw the line up and I'm not so semangat anymore. Luckily Bass Agent, my fav will be playing on the second day tho. ;)

Anyway, here's the details for it:

When? 15 and 16 March 2013 (Friday and Saturday)

20012013 - Stand a chance to win a BIG Ang Pow from Carlsberg!

Remember the last time I posted about the launch of Carlsberg CNY Campaign? Guess what? There are already 31 people who won the Big Ang Pow worth RM11,888 each!

One of the lucky winner, Khoo Siew Bee, picked up this HUGE ang pow after opening just one bottle of Carlsberg when she was out with her friends in Kuchai Lama.

The massive ang pow giveaways are part of a RM6.8 million consumer redemption promotion, making this the biggest Carlsberg Chinese New Year campaign ever.

There are 756 ang pows up for grabs, and the promotion has already put huge smiles on more than 100 lucky Carlsberg consumers' faces. Another 63 lucky consumers has won the RM1,188 ang pow during this promotion.

As what Soren Ravn, the Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia mentioned, everyone loves getting the ang pow. This is an opportunity for them to share good fortune with their consumers for the coming Year of the Snake and to express their gratitude for the consumers loyal support. This is also why they have increased this year's value of giveaways by close to RM2 million.

How to win you ask? Simple!

You just have to purchase one big (640 ml) bottle of Carlsberg or Danish Royal Stout or Asahi Super Dry at food courts, coffee shops, and hawker centres located across Peninsular and East Malaysia to participate in the redemption promotion. All you have to do is check the bottle cap liner to find out what you have won.

To redeem the RM11,888 and RM1,188 ang pows ( those with the 'CNY1' or 'CNY1' bottle cap liners), can call 1800-88-1847 and answer one simple question. For those with 'CNY3' and 'CNY' bottle caps can redeem their gifts immediately at participating outlets. 

Here's what you get with those bottle caps:

CNY1 - RM11,888 ang pow

CNY2 - RM1,188 ang pow

CNY3 - A big bottle of Carlsberg

CNY (have to collect 6) - A deck of Chinese New Year themed playing cards that comes with two collectible designs

The Carlsberg redemption promotion is until 24 February 2013, or while stocks last.

As what I've mentioned in my previous post on the 'Tree of Abundance' road show, with the theme 'Golden Entourage', it will be travelling to selected locations across Peninsular Malaysia, with Eight Fook Gods and lion dance performances. Consumers can expect to win more ang pows and other giveaways at the road show locations.

For more information on the Carlsberg road show, redemption promotion and other festive activities, you can visit their facebook page or website.

19012013 - Saturday randomness jam

As I was on my way back home just now,around 2pm, it was unusually jam. It is normal to have traffic jam around Bulatan Pahang towards Jalan Pahang. I have no idea why that place always jam anyway. Even at 11pm on a weekday. Usually in the morning, the jam starts from Jalan Genting Kelang towards Bulatan Pahang. And on the opposite side, only jam for a short distance from Bulatan Pahang towards Jalan Genting Kelang. The jam will be until the traffic light, where drivers take the left turning to Sentul. After that, the road will be quite smooth.

Just now, it was unusually jam from Bulatan Pahang, all the way till Jalan Genting Kelang. Initially I thought that there should be an accident up front cause there's a police car rushing through the jam.

End up, guess what's causing the jam?

Yeap. We were all directed to the most left lane because of this. Not forgetting that there are cars turning in from Gombak as well.

Good job yo! Malaysia Boleh!
