This is an Advertorial.
One of the joys I experience about working with Nuffnang is being able to give bloggers the right things somehow.
A few months ago, May Zhee sent me an SMS saying
“Tim… I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO BEG OF YOU!!! IT’S ABOUT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE”.
I replied her wondering what the hell could be so important.
“What what?”
And she said
“JAY CHOU IS COMING TO MALAYSIA IN FEBRUARY!!! PLEASE GET ME TICKETS TO SEE HIM!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!”.
A little dumbfounded I said
“Jay Chou is not exactly my brother or childhood friend… what makes you think I can get you what you want?”
And she cheekishly replied
“You know a lot of people… I’m sure you can find a way!!!”
I put down the phone thinking that May Zhee is going to be soooo disappointed when she finds out that I can’t possibly help her with her love of her life… until the people at Mamee approached Nuffnang for an ad campaign to promote their “Be Funky with Funkees” contest.
To take part in the contest the participants are required to pose in the funkiest way with a basketball and a packet of one of these Mamee Funkees.
Which actually tastes pretty nice.
So I first went to check out the “competition”: “Funky” poses that some of the other people did like this dude here.
Or these people
or even these two nice ladies.
Yet I had no clue as of what to do.
So I sat down in our office for a while and asked my colleagues what I could do.
Some of them suggested that I do a serious pose like this which was honestly a really really hard thing for me to do… you know… appearing serious.
If you know me in person, I normally can’t naturally stop smiling for long.
Then they suggested that I do this.
Do you think I’ll win?
I don’t either.
SNIFF
If you think you can do better than me… go here and join.
Or if you’re too shy to take pictures of yourself and pose but still wanna try yourself at a chance to meet Jay Chou or prizes like an LG Flat TV, iPod, and T-shirts of Jay Chou’s upcoming movie Kung-Fu Dunk that will be out on the 7th Feb 2008, then just go buy a packet of Mamee Funkees and if you’re lucky you might see one of these winning cards.
The winner gets exclusive passes to the Kung Fu Dunk Uth FEST event at 1-Utama which starts at 10am this 2nd February 2008.
The event is set to have a fashion show by Converse, an auto show, a games booth by the Uth crew, a Kung Fu performance by Hapkune Do, a Street Dance performance by Street Fusion and most important of all, the winner will be seated as close as anyone in the public can get to Jay Chou.
Now May Zhee is lucky because Nuffnang is getting a few of those exclusive tickets to give to their Glitterati and she’s one of them so she doesn’t have to do the contest.
But unfortunately… I wanna go too but there weren’t enough Glitterati tickets to go around so… I’m gonna be eating Funkees for breakfast, lunch and dinner over the next 3 days and if I still don’t win then ish.. I’ll just go back to Penang and sulk or something.
