Asian Bloggers & Social Media 2010 Conference Day 2

Posted in Events, Just For Fun on 07/30/2010 01:56 pm by

The first day of the Asian Bloggers & Social Media 2010 Conference was amazing, the second day was even better. Most of the speakers were bloggers themselves so they managed to impress me with alot of details on blogging and social media.

The 2nd day started with a speech from Eddie Law, who spoke on areas of legal awareness that bloggers have to know. He Analyses the current provision in law in relation to blogging practices. He mentioned that bloggers should in a way censor what they say and cause no harm to anyone. Bloggers should in a way be honest and fair when blogging and that they must always be accountable on what they mentioned. According to Eddie Law, there are 2 kinds of action that can be taken against bloggers, namely the Civil Action and the Criminal Action. This branches down to Defamation, Privacy law, Detention under the ISA, communication & multimedia Act and many more. Eddie Law can be accessed at LawEddie [dot] com.

The next session was by Lim Fahima from Virtual Consulting, Indonesia who spoke on managing online reputation of your brand. She touched topics such as Monitoring online conversation and engaging with customers to promote yourself in the best channel, responding to online review selectively and put yourself in a positive light and advertising online to increase traffic and gather customer information.

Oliver “Blogie” Robillo who is a WordPress Evangelist from the Phillipines gave us some insight of how to use and improve your blog using this blogging tool, WordPress. CyberSecurity Malaysia also gave us an insight of the steps they are taking in order to control and secure the internet world. He said that we should be in control on what we register for online, as well as to not simply register yourself online.

2 famous bloggers also gave their views that day. Niki Cheong who is a journalist for Star Publications spoke about the difference between a Journalist and a Blogger. After that, Kenny Sia of KennySia[dot]com gave a speech on how to work with social media influencers. He highlighted on the things that we should consider before engaging or even approaching an influencer. He is a natural comedian and was quite witty to hear him present.

The closing was done with a Panel Discussion that included Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir.

I hope to join the Asian Bloggers & Social Media Conference next year that is scheduled for May 2011.

Malaysia International Toys Fair 2010

Posted in Events, Just For Fun on 07/27/2010 04:46 pm by

Last sunday I went for the Malaysia International Toys Fair 2010 as promised. But I was shocked to see how bad it was. First of all there was an entry charge of RM3. I know it’s fairly cheap, but aren’t fairs free in the first place? Matta fair is free, Pikom PC Fair is free, so why should they charge for this? (a friend just corrected me that they do charge for the Matta Fair, not too sure how much)

I expected the MITF 2010 fair to be alot bigger that what it was. It took us only 10 - 15 minutes to cover the whole place. This is mentioned as a TOY fair, but I did not actually see that many toys. I didnt not see any Legos, there were some interesting figure toys, but not that many. Most of the booth featured online games, or computer games. Aren’t they suppose to be located in another separate fair instead in this Toy Fair?

Anyways, I was disappointed, hopefully they do better for the Malaysia Internation Toys Fair next year. Below are the photos that I took during the event.

KLCC View from my Office

Woohooo, one of the best thing about working at Kuala Lumpur city center is that you get great view of our Pertronas Twin Tower, the KLCC. I work at Megan Avenue II that is on Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. We are on the 16th floor, so the view from up here is marvellous. Some surrounding buildings are still under construction, she one end of KL looks messy. I’ll just let the photos speak.

I HATE World Cup 2010

Posted in Events, Everyday Life, Just For Fun on 07/14/2010 01:36 pm by

I’ll be frank. I hate football alot that I don’t follow it at all. I don’t bet, I don’t know who the hell those player names are, I dont know which team is better and most importantly I dont give a damn about my lack of knowledge about Footie.

But this year, due to peer pressure and one of my friend who forced me to bet with her, I had to watch the Finals that had Spain met Holland. I let her choose which team she wanted, already owing her RM80 from previous matches, she selected Spain and the bet was RM30 per ball.

In the means of all this, there’s this incredible creature, namely Paul the Octopus who have to date predicted the winning team for a number of matches and managed to nail them all perfectly. How superb is this. Paul is probably worth millions now. Sushi anyone?

We went to a pub somewhere in Mentari area, very near the Leisure Commerce Square of Kelana Jaya. We started drinking Chivas even before the match started. They had to close the pub at 2.30am just when the Match started. I had to be home by 5.30am to get ready for work on Monday morning. Because of that, we decided to head to a place somewhere there. So we went to Leisure Commerce Square’s 7th floor pool centre. When we arrived the match was aready 20 minutes through, many people were there watching the game.

We had a bottle of Black Label, so we ordered some Coke and Ice to go along with the whiskey. The game was draw after the full 90 minutes and so extra time was added. To my surprise, or not actually, spain scored a goal and winning the World Cup in 2010 for the first time in History. I had printed a free postcard for the world cup and we handed out a couple of them to the fan.
