Visitor could walk away with a Huawei smartphone by joining the Racing Challenge. I tried it too but alas my lack of exercise betrayed me in the race.



So, I went for something less challenging and got myself a Huawei pen.


Visitors that are good and fast with their hands went to try the Cup Stacks. The highest stacked cup walks away with a Huawei smartphone.




For something fun and easier, just take a photo of your self jumping with a Huawei logo. You can see the photo taken in the photo booth.



The event's official radio station 988 was also there to mingle with the visitors by giving out freebies and playing games with them.


On that day DJ Anson of 988 was there to host the event. Usually, you'll hear him hosting his show on air using Cantonese but that day is a rare case that he uses Bahasa Malaysia to host. Here's a video of him speaking in Bahasa.




Of course, the most fun part is the hot air balloon ride.


Still want to try your luck to win the trip to Dubai? No worries. Until 31 December 2012, consumers can also continue to take part in the ‘Ascend to New Heights’ hot air balloon contest online at www.AscendToNewHeights.com for a chance to win attractive prizes including Huawei smartphones, devices, t-shirts, USB drives and movie tickets.

988 CNY Concert at Bren Mall, Kepong

Simon Says: Just found out from FBB's post that my picture appeared in Kosmo! A popular Malay tabloid. This reminded me that I was featured in KLue Magazine last month.

118 (18th of Jan 2009), that 's the date 988 held their CNY concert singing songs from their CNY album at Bren Mall, Kepong. I got tickets which I found out that one doesn't need it at all. Sigh. I went all the way to their office in Jalan Pahang to get it.

Anyway, I didn't take any video or pictures of them performing. It's nice to listen live. I especially like Danny One singing "12 Astrological Sign", a CNY song that's in R&B style. He sang the song with Desiree Tan, Xin Yi, KK and Luke. Lucky I brought my 988 CNY CD with me because after the concert there's an autograph session. I already got May, Anson and Luke's autograph. So tonight I can complete the collection lol. Almost complete that is, there's still 4 more that I haven't get because Tung Xin can't make it there that night and Jeff, Kien and Jack is now working for 988's new rival Chinese radio station, One FM.


I took pictures of the 988 DJs and singers while queuing for my autograph.


There's more than 10 different autographs I can get here.



Desiree is so camera sensitive that she knows that I am taking picture.

Danny One and Luke.

I got a picture with Luke in Studio V at New Year's Eve.


Nick and Danny One.

Now that Jack and Kien is in One FM, I wonder what will happen to JNK.



Cheryl Lee Xin Yi (李欣怡) and DJ Morna

I've taken picture with Xin Yi in the Yeah Awards Dinner last year and picture with DJ Morna recently at Studio V on New Year's Eve.



DJ May and DJ Sam.

2008 New Year's Eve in 1 Utama

In my previous post, I wrote that I might be celebrating New Year Countdown alone in 1 Utama. Well, that's half true actually. I had dinner alone in Dave's Pizza & Vino, it's the last day to try out the Guinness Infused Meal promotion. Will post about it later.

After working from 8pm 30th Dec 2008 till 8am 31st Dec 2008, I went home and slept until 5 pm. Then I drove to 1 Utama to do some banking in HSBC Amanah and dropped by to visit 988 DJs that is doing live broadcasting in Studio V that Cindy blogged about here and here.


They're On Air.

DJ Sam happened to be there too to prepare to be the MC for the countdown party later that night in 1 Utama. I of course, took a picture with her. She's one of the DJ for 988 Hello Morning show, which starts from 6 am to 10 am every Mon to Fri.


DJ Sam of 988

Then DJ Luke took a commercial break from his On Air show K6 Clan. When he's going back to the studio, I manage to ask him for a picture. He's very friendly in person.

With DJ Luke

He later invited me to sit inside the studio while he's interviewing Master Kenny Hoo of Good Feng Shui Geomantic Research. Master Kenny is giving his bazi readings on the birth date sent in by the listener earlier.

DJ Luke also briefly interview me On Air, asking me my name and my new year resolution. LOL. My 15 seconds of fame on local Chinese radio.



Master Kenny, me, and DJ Luke.

Then it's almost time for DJ Anson to take over the time slot. I managed to get him to sign on the 988 2009 CNY album. He's one of the DJ for Hello Morning too.


DJ Anson


Also asked DJ Morna to sign on the CD and of course took a picture with her. She host the Weekend Queen show on Saturday.

It's a very comfortable place to do broadcast.

There's a countdown party in 1 Utama, and Justin Lo (側田) will be performing. Thanks to Charlie, who is working in Digi, we managed to get a good spot in the Yellow Zone. The party is main sponsor is non other than Digi.


Charlie not working but still wearing his employee tag.



Part of the crowd in front of us.

The DJ from 988, DJ Sam, and DJ Luke were the MC and also a DJ from Red.FM. The DJs from 988 also perform two songs from the CNY album, additional to Sam and Luke were Xin Yi, Morna, Anson, and Nick. I took picture with Xin Yi and Nick before in the Yeah! Award Celebration Dinner.

Most of the picture I took didn't turn out well. Here's one of Casey Tse, even though she's from Hong Kong, her debut album is a full Malaysian production.


Casey Tse (謝文雅)

I took a short clip of her performing her new song Fly from her debut album "I am Casey". One of her ballad "学了好久 AKU CINTA PADAMU" is very nice too.




After Casey's performance, it's time to countdown. The fireworks in 1 Utama is programmed to goes off according to the music that goes with it. The fireworks is so damn near that that I felt like the earth is shaking. It's one of the nicest fireworks I've ever seen. Even Justin (側田) said that.

After the countdown, it's time for Justin to perform. He sang songs like "Stuck On Up", "命硬", "決戰二世祖", "情歌", and 2 new songs from his latest album, "三十日" and "未輸". Due to the audiences encouragement he briefly sang two more song "Kong" and "好人" without music.



Stuck On You




決戰二世祖




DJ Sam ask for encore


After the performance ends I manage to take picture with 988 DJ cum Chief Program Director, DJ Tock Ping (林淑萍), now she only host the "Logon 1001" every Thursday night.



淑萍 jeh, the boss of all the DJs in 988

The traffic is too damn congested to take my car which I parked in 1 Utama. So, Charlie and I walked to his car, which he parked in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail and we went to a nasi kandar restaurant nearby to have supper.

Charlie eating with two forks because the spoons is being washed.

Last but not least. All the best to you all in the Year 2009. Ah, Chinese New Year coming soon. Ang pao, ang pao mari.



Simon Says wishes you all a great year in 2009.
