eWana FM, More Than Just a Radio

December 9, 2014 4 Comments

When I was a little girl, my ambition was to be one of these three:

1. A doctor
2. A journalist
3. A deejay

I never did became a doctor or a deejay, I’m afraid, but I did pursue my tertiary education in Mass Communication and became a journalist for a short period of time. I suppose, someway…somehow…I did realize my childhood dreams, even for a short while.

Funny how life turns out…but no complains there. I’m now a writer in my own rights and I’m grateful and contented with all the blessings that I have in my life.

God is great and gave me what I want occasionally in His own way and terms. I may not be a doctor or a deejay, but He gave me friends who are deejays. 😉

Here’s a picture taken a few days ago in eWana FM, during a surprise birthday celebration for Kos Serani a.k.a DJ Koz, designer cum deejay.

eWana FM is a place that I consider a home away from home. A place that is more than just a radio; where I get to connect with a lot of awesome people in the media and entertainment industry.

The people on the photos…they are deejays, models and media practitioners. 🙂

From the surface, one would have the impression that the people in the industry are cocky and unapproachable, but the truth is far cry from people’s common perception. I have the privilege to get to know the models, the artists, the deejays and whatnot personally and I assure you that they are not only easily approachable, but friendly to boot as well. So yes…never judge a person from their appearances or their job, and never stereotype them for whatever reasons.

Anyway, eWana FM is going through a major revamp for their show segments and whatnot. It will indeed be more than just an online radio as soon, the listeners would be able to watch their favourite deejays live while they are on air via live TV stream. 🙂 Cool, huh?

My friend DJ Koz here will resume his show in eWana FM soon, and guess what?

He is looking for guests who are interested to be interviewed on his show! So…if you have something to promote; doing business etc and is looking for good, clean publicity whatsoever, you may contact https://ewana.fm or directly contact DJ Koz at +60 16-278 1412 to be one of the guests on the show. 😉

The listeners will not only be able to listen to you, but could see you as well!
I daresay it would be a good exposure for you…and if you’re ever there in eWana FM and would like to get to meet me in person and get to know me,just give me a holler and perhaps I could go over and we could go for a cuppa or two. 😉

Does your kids watch television? Mine does, although he pretty much prefer the ‘new’ way of watching the idiot box, which is via his iPad, through YouTube. I kinda limit his iPad usage, though, as I have not much control over quality entertainment that is suitable for his age range.

But for what it’s worth, I’m very happy that Big Fish Media is presenting the next wave of children’s edutainment with “ChiChi & ChaCha’, airing on Astro Ceria (Channel 611) & Astro Maya HD (Channel 135) on every Saturday, 11th of October, 2014 from 10.30 a.m.

MH17 and MH370

July 19, 2014 2 Comments

MH17 and MH370 is probably the worst thing that could have happened to Malaysia Airlines and Malaysian Aviation history. Barely four months ago Malaysia was shocked with the news where the flight MH370 went missing without a trace, the nation was put through the aviation nightmare again. This time around it is not just mind boggling like MH370, but gruesome as well.

The ill-fated MH17 was a non-hostile civilian plane, but was shot down in Ukrainian airspace on 17th July 2014. The MH17 wreckage and debris was already found. There was no survivors. And dead bodies were scattered around in such a gruesome scene. To date, no one claimed to be responsible for the unfortunate incident yet and both Russia and Ukraine is still passing the ball to each other and still playing whodudunnit game. I’ll leave the speculations and reporting to the professionals. I’m not here to speculate or write a conspiracy theory.

Initially I do not wish to write anything about this unfortunate event, but I find it difficult to stomach that friends and family are sharing the gruesome scene in the crash site; with MH17 wreckage and dead bodies so very openly on the social media.

Such action disgust me tremendously. It is bad enough that people are sharing news irresponsibly, and now sharing the pictures of dead bodies as well? That’s not only disrespectful towards the dead but also disrespectful towards the victim’s family and loved ones too! Have you got no bloody brain at all? Why can’t you have some empathy that someone out there has just lost their husband, wife, son, daughter, father, mother or relatives? How would you feel if your father or mother has just been hit to death by a truck and their limbs and
meat are scattered around on the road and some arse decided to take a video or snap a photo and upload all of the gory scene on the social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and those who saw that posting decided to share it around and consequently that indecency of a video or photo went viral?

Not a very nice thought, isn’t it? Such act is not only insensitive but disrespectful as well, and I hope all of you out there stop sharing such things. Someone out there is crying for their loss and it’s simply an inhumane thing to do to gain attention on social media that way.

Cleffairy: Karma always gets back at you. Remember that. Today it might be the time for others to grieve in humiliation and indignity, but tomorrow.. It might be one of you!

#gilabola by Joe Flizzow

June 22, 2014 No Comments

It’s past midnight, and I’m here in my regular mamak stall. Obviously I’m no Cinderella. And It’s a good thing too, otherwise my fairygodmother would have a cardiac arrest if she discovered that I’m still…waiting…waiting…after midnight at my regular mamak stall, not for food, but for the football match to start. I know I sounded footballmad, but I just love watching the games on the big screen!

Yes folks, yours truly is infected by the #gilabola fever! I can’t help it. Everyone is talking about it. Some may detest all the hype, but not me. I’ve always been a football fan. When I was still a high school student, I have this habit of going to the football field to watch the boys play football. I enjoyed it very much. I don’t have such chance anymore now considering that I’m no longer a student, but hey, there’s always English Premier League and now ongoing in Brazil as of writing, FIFA World Cup 2014.

I love the adrenaline rush while watching football match, and I went as far as Genting during the opening to meet Robbie Fowler, formerly a Liverpool star player.

Here’s a little throwback. 🙂 On the left: Robbie Fowler with one of the Genting big boss on the right. 🙂 I managed to get him to autograph my t-shirt, and I was so, so, happy! That’s definitely going into my ‘not wearing because it is so special wardrobe;. 🙂

I love all the hype the football fans made when the team they supports score a goal or two. Sports such as this brings so much positive energy and togetherness between family,loved ones and friends, and I’m a sucker for all of the positive energy. It makes me feel so good!

I tend to support the underdogs team, and naturally, the team that I usually root for lost the game pretty early. Last time I placed all my hope on England, but this time around, I go for Japan. I thought that they have a pretty good chance with all their player’s positive attitude, but they lost anyway. It was really sad, but I thought they played really well, and they displayed such awesome sportsmanship attitude!

Anyway, You’ve probably heard Joe Flizzow’s new song, #gilabola. I’ve been listening to that song, and it’s stuck in my head right now. Have you heard the song before? It’s pretty catchy and upbeat.If you haven’t, make sure you watch the music video here:

Song : #GilaBola
Singer : Joe Flizzow

Learn the words in the lyrics video and sing along, folks.

The lyric can also be found HERE: The lyrics talk about the typical habits of ‘football mad’ fans of all ages and origins, like staying up all night, face painting and more.

Come on guys, FIFA World Cup does not happen everyday. Join me in the #gilabola craze in the Football Mad Territory and make sure you also share all your football-mad moments with the hashtag #gilabola on Instagram! Who knows, your submissions could even appear in their next video.

From Russia With Love

June 13, 2014 8 Comments

Russians are always portrayed as the bad guys in the Hollywood movies. They are either the mafia, drug dealers, mad scientist or worst…terrorist. In those Hollywood movies, most of them looks awfully obese with scary mustache and beard.

But having the opportunity to meet REAL life Russians in their National Day dinner a few days ago, I discovered that my whole life was a lie. They are nothing like what the movies portrayed. Their ladies are stunningly beautiful and their men are gentlemanly courteous and entertaining. And yes…they look good enough to eat too. 😉 They are crazy for Vodka and is passionate about food and of course..rather vigorous when it come to making money.Their men knows how to pay compliments and they flatter you like crazy…and heck, they’ll kiss your hands in greeting too if you are a lady!

There’s awfully a lot of people during the dinner that night.

It was my first time attending such a formal event. Everyone was looking gorgeous in their evening wear, and I would have felt inferior if I did not make an effort to dress up myself. Phewww…

My friend, Ms. Paris and Captain(Navy) Sergey Zhevnovatiey, Defense Attache.This pair looks so good together, don’t you think? I think they look perfect together. Unfortunately, they are both married to different Russians. 😛

I met a lot of people that night. Business people, VVIPs, ambassadors, friendly and charming Russian men…and befriended some too. Say hello to my new friend, guys. His name is Dimitri, from Uzbekistan 😛 This fella is a funny one. He’s Russian speaking and taught us ladies how to…ahemm…swear in Russians.

Anyway, I learned during the dinner that 2014 is a significant year for the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Malaysia. Not only it marks the 47th year of bilateral relationship between the Russian Federation and Malaysia, but in conjunction with the Russian National Day this year, the Embassy brings a household name in the Russian jewellery industry, “Moiseikin” to Malaysia. The Embassy was established since April 1968 with H.E. Vladimir Kuznetsov as the first Ambassador, marking the beginning of bilateral relationship between Russia and Malaysia.Presently, H.E. Lyudmila Vorobyeva and a number of 20 diplomats continue the legacy to strengthen this partnership through political, trade, investment, educational and cultural exchange.
Russia is currently Malaysia’s 26th trading partner with turnover worth USD 2.7 billion in 2013, an increase of 53.7% compared to 2012. Russia exports mineral oil, fertilizer and rubber products to Malaysia. Imports include electric and electronic equipment, mechanical equipment and rubber products. With the recent trade visit by the Russian Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Alexey Likachev, the two great nations plan to expand bilateral relationship in transportation, facility development and banking. Russia also wants to share its expertise in aerospace, engineering, medical and pharmaceutical. The latest, a pharmaceutical factory worth RM250 million in Pahang is another collaboration to create vaccine for dengue fever; the first in the world. By 2015, it is estimated that 15% Malaysian doctors will be Russian university medical graduates.

Partnering with a frequent Malaysian collaborator, TM Info-Media Sdn. Bhd. and through negotiations with another internal-class organization; the National Visual Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, the Embassy proudly presents ‘The Art of Russian Luxury by Moiseikin’ from 10th until 16th June 2014.

For this special showcase which represents the modern interpretation of 200-year-old Russian tradition of luxury founded by the famous Karl Faberge, Moiseikin shares 37 of his one-of-a-kind masterpieces for the public eye of Malaysians. Most of the exhibits are flown outside of Russia for the first time, eager to meet all art lovers in Malaysia.

Known for his skills and expertise in stone-cutting, Moiseikin presents beautiful animal figurines…

And graceful flowers inspired by Mother Nature with extreme details of precious stones.

What makes the craft so unique is the fact that some of the exhibit items are actually pieces of jewellery attached together to form the jewellery miniatures. One may need to look very closely to see that perhaps the golden bird hanging on the jewel tree is actually a brooch pin ready to complete your look for the day. Or perhaps the edible-looking fruits made of pearls dangling from the miniature are actually a pair of pearl earrings. Truly, a showcase not to be missed.

Victor Moiseikin first fell in love with colourful stones when his father, Vladimir who was a geologist presented him with a piece of malachite. Since then, he has been filling up his treasure box with colourful stones from the Urals, Russia. In 1993, he opened a small jewellery studio in Yekaterinburg, holding on to his life-long dream of reviving the tradition of Russian luxury since founded by Karl Faberge in the 19th Century. Coming from generations of artists (architects, carvers, sculptors, etc), it is only natural for Moiseikin to create beautiful images in his mind and turn them into reality with his own hands. Since then, he has participated in various international jewellery fairs and opened his own showroom in Dubai and Hong Kong.
In 2010 and 2012 MOISEIKIN was awarded with the Order of Carl Faberge memorial fund for outstanding contribution to the development of Russian art of jewelry. Among his esteemed clients are Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Michael of Kent, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, famous designer Paco Rabanne, Russian opera star Elena Obraztsova, etc.

Wanna admire the art of luxury yourselves? The exhibit will be at the National Art Gallery from 10th until 16th June 2014, so hop over before they fly back to Russia!

Cleffairy: Ya tebya lyublyu 🙂

Me Singing Leaving on a Jetplane for #uniteforMH370

March 18, 2014 No Comments

Do you know why…that though I don’t have the tendency to love whatever our gov do…you still yet to see me condemn them for what’s going on with #mh370? And why I don’t post up parodies poking fun at the bomoh fiasco etc though I used to poke fun at various current issues in our country? Well…as much as I don’t like our gov, I still love my country. As a social media influencer, I do not wish to shame my country any further than it’s already is. I think those who posts up those crap are not only shallow, but terribly immature. Don’t you know that the world is watching us? Can’t you at least BEHAVE and be mature about it? Don’t make fun of this incident. Things are as bad as it is. There are people waiting desperately for their loved ones to come home. Even if you can’t emphatize with their situation, can’t you at least don’t be obnoxious about it? Put yourself in the shoes of MH370 passengers…and those who are waiting for their loved ones to return. I did. And it is not pleasant.

Anyway, there’s this ongoing event where people from all over Malaysia is collecting kind thoughts and prayers for MH370.

I couldn’t make it for the concert, but here’s here’s a YouTube audio of me singing ‘Leaving on A Jetplane’, for all those onboard of the missing MH370, and the loved ones who are waiting for them to return. #uniteformh370

Introducing Voluntourism in Conjunction of Visit Malaysia 2014

December 17, 2013 3 Comments

Have you heard of ‘voluntourism’? Well, yours truly is not exactly familiar with the term until one fine day, she was invited to join the media trip hosted by Sahabat Media CC1M in conjunction of Visit Malaysia 2014.

Joining the media trip brought me and my boys to Avani Sepang Gold Coast Resort.

Absolutely breathtaking place.

Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to stay there for a night or two.

The itinerary only includes a stop here for the launching of Voluntourism Program in conjunction of the Visit Malaysia 2014. So, what is exactly ‘voluntourism’? Well, literally, it is derived from the English word ‘Volunteer’ and ‘Tourism’ and as the word suggest, it is a combination of volunteering and tourism that enable tourists and travelers to volunteer for a good cause while sightseeing or traveling.

The goal of the program is to encourage a better tourism development in 2014 and allow people from all walks of life to be involved in Malaysian tourism. The program kicks off with 1Malaysia Green, 1Malaysia Clean where volunteers from all walks of life can help out with cleaning and beautifying initiative in Bagan Lalang Beach, Sepang.

Anyway, the Voluntourism Adoption Initiative Program includes:

1Malaysia Green, 1Malaysia Clean- involves volunteering in beautifying tourism spots and keeping them green and clean.

1Malaysia Voluntutoring- involves tutoring in language,hospitality and all sort of skills by volunteers in Homestays and tourism spots.

Love Your Heart Day Public Talk at UMMC Cardiology Unit

September 27, 2013 4 Comments

It’s been almost a decade since I last step into a lecture hall. The last time I was in a lecture hall was during my final exam in university. I never knew that I’ll be saying this, but I really do miss my college years.

Lucky me, I was given a chance to relive my notorious college years a few days ago. UMMC Cardiology Unit was having a ‘Love Your Heart Day’ Public Talk a couple of days ago and a bunch of us bloggers were invited to check it out.

After the registration, the public and invited media alike were ushered into a huge lecture hall. The talk kicks off with recital of prayers by Dr. Syadi and speech by the Head of Cardiology Unit, Prof Dr. Wan Azman. His speech was then followed by the official launch of the public talk and the announcement for “Love Your Heart’ Survey. The survey sought to shed light on cardiac risk factors and treatment options as well as patients’ understanding on these issues.

According to the ‘Love Your Heart Survey’, a total of 328 respondent, or 80% had not even performed regular health test before they had been diagnosed with Coronory Heart Diseases.

Remember a few days ago I posted the picture for my Wordless Wednesday Entry with a caption “Do You Love ‘ME'”? Well that was 2013’s World Heart Day campaign poster. 😀

The World Heart Day is celebrated on 29th September and will highlight a life-course approach to the prevention and control of Coronory Heart Disease with a focus on women and children and show what actions can be taken through a personâ€™s life to reduce their risk of Coronory Heart Disease.

You can keep a tab on updates and whatnot on the campaign on various social media with the hashtag #worldheartday. The entire campaign emphasized on preventing the future impact of heart disease and stroke by enabling heart-healthy living from childhood throughout adulthood because healthy children lead to healthy adults and healthy adults lead to healthy families and communities.

Us media were then ushered to the media room for press conference and we were given a chance to listen to lectures first hand. Here’s a picture of Prof Dr. Wan Azman, demonstrating the mechanics of the human heart.

According to the good doc, Coronory Heart Disease can affect people of all ages and population groups, including women and children. However, their risk can be controlled, treated or modified through everyday heart-healthy behaviours, such as eating a healthy diet, taking regular exercise and avoiding tobacco use.

Did you know? Heart disease is actually the number one killer of women, causing 1 in 3 female deaths: shockingly, thatâ€™s about one death per minute! It is vital that women learn the truth about their cardiovascular disease risk and take action to protect themselves and their family. Children are vulnerable too: the risk for cardiovascular disease can begin before birth during foetal development, and increase further during childhood with exposure to unhealthy diets, lack of exercise and smoking.

SIGH. It’s all about lifestyle. Modern society can expose children to risk factors such as diets with too few calories, diets high in â€œbadâ€ fats and sugar; activities such as computer games that discourage physical activity; and in some countries, tobacco advertising that encourages tobacco use or environments filled with secondhand tobacco smoke.

There’s plenty of things that were taught during the lecture, but the infographic above practically sums it up. 😀 Do take some time to take a look at it, folks. It will do you good, I reckon.

After the lecture, I took some time to take a look at the exhibition hall and discovered first hand that UMMC was also providing free consultation and health check to the public in conjunction of World Heart Day 2013.

Free consultation from the nutritionist

The public taking advantage of the free health check session.

Getting health check done. After lurking around in the health check booths, I decided that I haven’t had enough and explored further. There are plenty of exhibit items that day. Check out the pictures below. They’re rich with infos.

Exhibit item 1

Exhibit item 2

Exhibit item 3

Exhibit item 4

Exhibit item 6

Exhibit item 7

Exhibit item 8

The one thing in the exhibition hall that caught my attention is the Coronory Heart Bypass surgery and stents that’s used in the procedure.

A stent is a small mesh tube that’s used to treat narrow or weak arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from your heart to other parts of your body.

A stent is placed in an artery as part of a procedure called angioplasty. Angioplasty restores blood flow through narrow or blocked arteries. A stent helps support the inner wall of the artery in the months or years after angioplasty.

Doctors also may place stents in weak arteries to improve blood flow and help prevent the arteries from bursting.

Stents usually are made of metal mesh, but sometimes they’re made of fabric. Fabric stents, also called stent grafts, are used in larger arteries.

A closer look at a stent.I was informed that some stents are coated with medicine that is slowly and continuously released into the artery. These stents are called drug-eluting stents. The medicine helps prevent the artery from becoming blocked again. According to Prof Dr. Wan Azman, these are a cutting edge technology in medical science and many has benefit from the procedures, but of course, prevention is always better than cure.

We bloggers certainly had a field day learning the matters of the heart, that day. 😀 Here’s one for the album.

Need more info on World Heart Day 2013, ‘Love Your Heart’ Survey results, angioplasty& stents usage, public talks and etc? Well, hop over to https://www.ummc.edu.my/ for more info.

Cleffairy: I’m all for healthy living and taking care of my heart, and I’m sure all of you out there share the same sentiment too.

Unlimited Possibilities with Ninetology U9 Series

September 18, 2013 No Comments

Are you a Ninetology user? I’m not sure if you are, but I’m a Ninetology user. I’ve featured about this brand for quite a few times now, in case you haven’t noticed. I’ve always recommended Ninetology whenever someone wants to buy a smartphone but does not have a very high budget for it. Ninetology line of smartphones usually have good specs, but within reasonable price tags.

Yups, Ninetology smartphones and tablets are good, but since it is still fairly new in Malaysian market in comparison to giant brands, there’s not much place where you can buy them or see them on showcase. I always find myself disappointed whenever Ninetology launches a new phone. The shop nearby home here is pretty much biased and it is quite rare for me to see any newly launched Ninetology smartphones on display. I have to wait quite awhile for that and it’s such a shame, cuz after being a user for Ninetology Pallette for quite some time,Â I’m positively a Ninetology fan.

But lucky me, it’s all about to change. 😀 In conjunction with Malaysiaâ€™s 56th Independence Day, Ninetology Malaysia has officially launched its Flagship Touch Point in Plaza Low Yat, Malaysiaâ€™s Largest IT Lifestyle Mall, on 30 August 2013. 😀

Pic: A ribbon cutting ceremony was held to launch the first Flagship Touch Point. Gracing the ceremony were the management team of Ninetology Malaysia comprising of Sean Ng (Chief Executive Officer), Marco Beh (Chief Operations Officer), Shian (Chief Finance Officer), Vijian Chan (Chief Marketing Officer), and Eddy Tay (Head of Channel); Michael Lee (General Manager, Property Management and Operations of Plaza Low Yat), and celebrities such as Z-Chen, Iqwal Hafiz, and Sasi the Don.

So you ask me…what’s so exciting about just another service centre? Well, Flagship Touch Point is not just another service centre, mind you.With a concept like no other, Ninetologyâ€™s Flagship Touch Point offers consumers an experiential touch point for todayâ€™s lifestyles and culture as well as a product showcase.

Do you know what that means? Yes… that means you get to see all Ninetology products on showcase and have a hands on experience whenever you feel like it. At the Flagship Touch Point, not only would the Ninetology products be showcased, itâ€™s a place where consumers can learn how to use a smartphone to enhance their lifestyles and interests. That’s pretty cool, don’t you think? The flagship Touch Point will serve as a youth and culture training hub to spread the urbanite culture that is cultivated by Ninetology. Imagine this: going there to learn how to use your Ninetology phone to produce a mini movie. 😛 Now that’s a thought, ain’t it? You might be the next Youtube star sensation…*grinz*

I seriously think it’s an awesome concept; to engage youth with various activities that will help them to maximize their potential and perk up their lifestyles in the most positive way possible. The Ninetology smartphones are not just communication tools, but it is a device that can advance oneâ€™s social visibility, thus opening doors to more opportunities.This is definitely something that’s out of the box. 😀

Interested to check it out? Well, I’m certainly interested to hop over there and check out what the Flagship Touchpoint have to offer. Who knows… I can be the next Youtube star sensation just by using my Ninetogy smartphones. 😛 You’ll never know.

The Ninetologyâ€™s Flagship Touch Point is opened from 10.00am to 10.00pm daily and eight more Flagship Touch Points within the Klang Valley will be opened this year with another nine outlets scheduled within Malaysia by next year.

Neway let’s put the Flagship Touch Point aside for awhile. Here’s a bit of a newsflash for you, in case you’ve missed my previous posts on Ninetology smartphone reviews.

Earlier last month, Ninetology Malaysia has launched their U9 series at KL Hilton Hotel, Malaysia. The â€œUnite-as-Oneâ€ power-infused technology with the urbanite profile was presented in three models: The X1, Z1, and Z1+, which are new and stylish devices engineered to meet the human needs of speed, precision and high levels of engagement. They’re pretty awesome smartphone lineup, I can assure you.

You can search about it in my blog (I’ve made an audio review about it) or get more information on Ninetology U9 smartphones, HERE:Â www.ninetology.com/u9

Check out the babes…bombastic, aren’t they? I’m talking about the smartphones, of course, not the pretty ladies.

Pic: Mr. Arthur Wang, Senior Director, Head of EMSM, Mediatek Inc. receiving the Certificate of Appreciation from Mr. Sean Ng, CEO of Ninetology Marketing Sdn. Bhd.

The U9 series smart phones with 16GB ROM/1GB RAM of internal memory are ideal for viewing videos, playing games and other content with super-fast connectivity, are powered by Android 4.2 and a MediaTek MT6589 1.2GHz Quad-core processor, in which would deliver a richer smart phone experience at a competitive price.

With these smartphones, users can enjoy access to more than thousands of applications including social network, productivity and utilities, entertainment, and appstore. They have display screens of 4.8â€ (X1), 5.7â€ (Z1) and 5.5â€ (Z1+) respectively. They are slim and light and would be a stylish and durable companion for upbeat lifestyles. (Please click on the thumbnail below for a larger view on the specifications)

At the launch, Ninetology also revealed their newly appointed Product Spokesperson, Z-Chen, a Malaysian Mandopop singer, also fondly known as the R&B Little Prince. Familiar with him? He’s been in the Mando-pop industry quite awhile now. He’s quite a handsome bloke. So do check out the video where he vouch for Ninetology smartphones quality.
