On my last night at Macau, I moved out of the Venetian and stayed at the Wynn.

The Wynn is slightly more expensive than the Venetian only because the Venetian is running on a promotion but on the outside the Wynn didn’t look as impressive as the Venetian so I didn’t keep my hopes up.
The good news though, is that the Wynn had more rooms available, so the staff there managed to give us an upgrade to a bit of a suite.

When you walk into the suite, this is exactly how it looks like.
There’s a living room with a plasma screen TV by the windows.

Once you walk in and look behind you, you’ll see the front door right in front of you.

To your left is a small toilet.
And to the right.. believe it or not… is a freaking massage room.

LOL.
I jumped on the massage bed as soon as I saw it and took a picture.
Not a nice looking picture, but still a picture 😛

And yes I know my glasses aren’t supposed to be on but hey, I wasn’t really having a massage.

Can’t afford to have someone over just to give me a nice massage.

Anyway, back to the living room.

The cool thing about the living room apart from the view of the hotel swimming pool down below,
is the presence of a small bar on one corner

and a small dining table at another corner.

The bar comes fully equipped with booze, a coffee machine, even a teapot and tea!

Now get this.

When you stand in the middle of the living room, you’ll see mirrors on the ceiling.

Bwahahahah how cool is that!
Perfect for the ideal living room shag.

The bedroom itself hasn’t got anything particularly fancy
but the bathroom… ho ho ho!

Now it’s quite common for a lot of hotel toilets to have phones right?

But how many bathrooms have… TVs in them for you to watch news while taking a bath?

Not like we ever use it … but still!!!

It’s not whether you use it or not… but it’s the luxury of having the OPTION of using it!

Bwahahah hahaha hahaha

The other smaller things I learned to like about the room are simple things like how the hotel phone is cordless.

How there is a little gadget alarm clock thing.

And how there’s this little stereo set.

But there is one thing though that I don’t like about Wynn.

They charge for internet access!

HK$ 160 for 24 hours!

Apart from that I quite like our room at Wynn.

And I will miss those red couches in the living room.

Hehehe..

I love red couches… I had a few in one of my flats when I was living in London.

They make me feel… all yuppie and all.

Disclaimer:
Now before any of you thinks that my father owns Genting or something… let me tell you that we kinda got that room for free ok? We didn’t pay for it. I’m not loaded.. I wish I were… but oh well…

So I’ve been in the Macau Venetian for the past couple of days.

Now, thanks to a particular celebrity blogger who recently blogged about the Venetian Macau, everything I say about the Venetian now is going to be OLD news… OLD NEWS!!!

Reminds me of that “tai jor lar!!!” Astro commercial.

Only this time it would be
“Kenny kong jor lar!!!”

So I’m not going to bother showing you much of my room.

Or much of the work station where my Mac and I spend most of our time working while I was there.
I’m going to show you the rest of the hotel (apart from the casino because they throw people in jail for taking pictures of Casinos).

Now most of you are probably expecting me to go on and on and on and on about how great the Venetian is and how you should all give your left nuts to go so I’m going to do the complete opposite and tell you that Venetian “did not” impress me.

HMPH!!!

Notty Venetian!
You think having massive spaces for function rooms impress me?

HMPH!

You think having countless beautiful chandeliers made out of Murano glass impresses me?

HMPH!

You think having an indoor ‘town’ with an artificial sky impresses me?
HMPH!

You think having found a human being that can paint himself white and act like a statue impresses me?
HMPH!

You think having an indoor canal with gondolas in it impresses me?

HMPH!

Well… I have got news for you my dear Venetian!

…
…
…
…
…

YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT IT IMPRESSES ME!!!

BWAHAHAHAHA

And it’s not just your GONDOLAS!
Or your indoor town with an artificial sky.
Or your countless chandeliers in every part of the hotel

IT’S YOUR FREAKING LONG ESCALATORS IN YOUR HALLWAY!

BOSS STEWIE LIKEY LONG ESCALATORS!

(But he no likey long stairs)

Will cerita more about my trip in the coming posts.

Tonight is the last night in the Venetian and I must say it has been nothing but a pleasant experience!

Well done Venetian, you guys have built a hotel that I will really miss… and it’s not just because it houses the Largest Casino in the World.

I’m spending one last night in Macau after tonight but we’re moving over to another Las Vegas origin hotel in Macau called Wynn.

Hotel hopping is good fun.

2 Weeks Ago Over The Telephone…

Dad: Son, pack your bags! We are going for a family holiday again. This time to Macau.

Me: What?!? Dad… we just went to Sydney and I can’t go again. I have a dotcom to run!
Dad: You run an internet company, whatever work you need to do you can do it online. We’re going to Macau not to Siberia. There is internet in Macau.

Me: I don’t want to go away again lar! I have things to do here! The company needs me!

Dad: We are going over the weekend, at most you’ll only miss one and a half working days. That’s it!

And you have a partner who is just as capable as you to take care of things while you’re away.
Me: No I don’t want to go! I have work to do lar!

Dad: Son, if your company can’t survive without you being physically there for a few days, then something is really wrong with your company.

Me: Fine… work aside. I don’t want to go traveling again! It is very stressful for me.

I would rather go end of the year with a girl friend or something.

Dad: Son.. I thought I brought you up to be a smarter man than this.

If you go with daddy, you will be staying in the 6 Star Venetian hotel that costs about RM3,000 a night.

Now tell me son, if you go with a girlfriend of yours on your own, can you afford to stay in the Venetian or will you be staying in Motel Seng Seng that costs RM50 a night and have a man dressed in a singlet named Ah Long as your receptionist?

2 Weeks Later (Present Day)…

So apparently I’m in The Venetian Macau now.

I was watching CNN one day and they were talking about THIS video.

I didn’t think it was too big a deal until I watched it and realized that 7 million other people have too.

Now the questions is… when will one of my readers do that for me? Huh?

You know, fake cry a little… keep shouting
“LEAVE TIMMY ALONE!!!

YOU GUYS DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE FAT AND LOVE ICE-CREAM LIKE HE DOES…

LEAVE TIMMY ALONEEEEEEEeeeeeee!!!!”

On another note… I have to announce this to the world.

Dear World,

I have tried.

I have tried very hard to see what was the big deal with Facebook and why people are so crazy over it.

But I have failed.

The applications are not fantastic and unlike Friendster, we can’t go around spying chicks’ profiles when you have one of those drinking parties with your friends.

So any of you guys out there have Facebook, add me and teach me… SHOW ME THE WAY…. TEACH ME!!!

Click here for my Profile.

Okay… I am going to say it.. I am just going to say it… here comes…

Here it comes…

Here it comess…….

FACEBOOK SUCKS

RUN!!!

RUN TIMMY!!!

RUN BEFORE YOU GET YOUR ASS FLAMED BY YOUR FACEBOOK LOVING READERS!!!!!!

I was driving down from Penang to KL just yesterday when I decided to stop by a petrol station for a little pee pee.

After emptying my tea-cup sized bladder, I decided to go into the store to pick up some Cornetto (Yes.. I’m addicted to Cornetto… sue me).

It was a typical store… but as I walked over to the cashier, something caught my attention.

There was a little machine by the side of the cashier and it had two buttons with emoticons on it with the words “Rate My Service”.
I asked the cashier
“So uhmm… what’s this for ar?”

And she politely replied
“Rate my service!!!”
There was even a little counter there that counted how many times people gave her a smiley face and how many times people gave her a frown.

INGENIUS!!!

What a simple yet creative idea.

I mean.. think about the NOVELTY… this is just the BEGINNING… before you know it… entrepreneurs all over are going to be applying this new gadget EVERYWHERE!!!

Now lets say we were to have a computer version of this placed in front of every cashier at Tesco.A smiley face indicating it’s good service and a frown indicating bad service.

But even this can be innovated upon.

From a happy cartoon indicating good service to a cartoon throwing up indicating bad service.
From Gold indicating good service to crap indicating bad service.

From a thumbs up indicating good service to a not so thumbs up indicating bad service.

And finally, for brothels we could have…

From…. indicating good service to ….. indicating bad service.

The innovations are ENDLESS!!!!

EVERYBODY WHO’S ANYBODY in the blogosphere is joining this Chipster contest.

Starting from Kenny Sia to even Xiaxue all the way from Singapore.

So naturally.. I’m doing one myself.

Bwahahaha

I checked out their website and started making my own “Chipster Moment”.

At first I did a simple Chipster moment that showed a calm face in calamity.

But I decided that I wanted something better for my masterpiece.

BEHOLD!!!

THE MAKING OF MY CHIPSTER MOMENT MASTERPIECE!!!!

It starts from uploading a simple photo that I took just for this moment.

Then comes the erasing of the background to make sure the only thing left in the photo is me, the Chipster packet and AH BOP (who is my co-star in this pic).

Then comes placing me nicely in the background with the text and…

BEHOLD!!! MY MASTERPIECE!!!

After all that, if I STILL I DON’T WIN THAT MAC… I KNOW WHY…

IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF THAT ***** JOLENE!!!

With this photo of hers… SHE SET HER STANDARD TOO DAMN HIGH!!! ARGHH!! YOU EVIL WOMAN!!!

UPDATE:

I was just at the Chipster website to checking out the competition and I found the funniest Chipster moment of all time…

Check it out!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

HOW FUNNY IS THAT?!?!?!

DAMMIT THESE CREATIVE PEOPLE… MAKING ME LOOK BAD!!!

For the past few months, Cornetto has been running this Lurve Kliks competition where we can collect points by buying their ice-cream and then get into groups of 3s to bid for certain prizes they have.

At the end of contest there will be two winners, the highest bidding Girl Group, and the highest bidding Guy Group.

Now the minute I heard about this contest, I knew I wouldn’t have a problem winning… simply because I eat so much Cornetto each day it’s ridiculous!

But I wanted the Grand Prize… my guess was that the last prize of all would be the best so I accumulated all my points quietly while other groups won the earlier prizes.

While I collected my points quietly, I got together with Kenny and Lance to form a group of guys.

Kenny very happily called our group the Kennysia.com Lurve Squad and he took the liberty to design our Group Avatar.
Well the bidding ends tomorrow, and just in the last day of the contest… our group mobilized everything.

We got all the points together, brought in Lance to join our group to earn another 1,000 points and I put in ALL my 1,350 points I earned from all the Cornetto I had been eating in the past couple of months.

And the result…

BWAHAHAHA WE ARE THE TOP BIDDER!!!

We haven’t won yet.. but the contest ends just a day earlier and heck.. who else is going to try to outbid us..

I KNOW WE’RE GONNA WIN… AND WE’RE GONNA WIN THAT FREE SKY TOUR OF KL, A GO-KARTING EXPERIENCE AND iPod Shuffles!!!!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!

I do however pity the Top Bidding Girl Group who will go on the Sky Tour with us though.

I mean… right now they’re all probably thinking that they’re going to win this trip and go for a ‘blind-date’ with 3 very eligible bachelors that look and dress like this.
Little do they know that they’re going to hopping on to a plane with these two guys.

One of which who likes to wear t-shirts like THIS.

BWAHAHAAHAHAHA
BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

I CAN JUST SEE THE HEADLINES IN THE PAPERS SOON!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

HERE I COME LADIES… HERE I COME.

PS: Btw, this is NOT an advertorial. I’m not paid a single cent by Cornetto to write this though they do advertise with Nuffnang, and I support our advertisers 😛

UPDATE: THE BID JUST ENDED… AND I LOST BY 8,000 POINTS!!! ARRGHHH THESE KIASU MALAYSIANS.. LAST MINUTE ONLY GO AND BID!!! AUGH!!!!

Every morning I wake up about 7am.

The first thing I do is head straight for a hot shower to wake myself up and to make sure that I don’t fall asleep again.

Then I go brush my teeth and sit on my laptop for a while to check my work e-mails.

Then I walk out of my room and into the small dining room in my apartment.
That’s when I normally prepare myself breakfast.

Breakfast for me is always simple: Cereals… either Koko Krunch or Milo cereals.
Then I grab my bowl of cereals and head straight for the TV in living room to watch E! while eating.

This morning, it was a little different.

I was watching the True Hollywood Story of Brandy when I took my first bite of the cereals that morning.

At first I thought I tasted a bit of banana and I shouted in my empty apartment
“WHO THE HELL PUT BANANA IN MY KOKO KRUNCH?!?!?!”

Then the taste of the banana really began to sip in and my mouth spasmed.

Now I like bananas… but I don’t like eating bananas with anything else.

Yes that means I don’t like banana split, I don’t like banana juice and nothing of the sort.

After I puked out the milk, I went to investigate where the banana came from.

It definitely wasn’t the Koko Krunch.

So it had to be the milk.

I took a look at the milk carton.
Nothing out of the ordinary.

Just the usual Hi Calcium, Hi Protein and LOW FAT milk that I drink (That’s right, I drink low fat milk.. all you thin people go ahead and laugh!).

Then I turned the carton around only to see THIS.

BANANA FLAVOURED MILK?!?!?!

WHO THE HELL DRINKS KOTEK FLAVOURED MILK!?!?!

I started beating myself up at first for buying it in the first place.. if I didn’t like it.

Then I began to wonder that hey… someone else should share the blame with me.

I mean, if you’re selling SUSU PISANG, shouldn’t you AT LEAST put it in BIGGER PRINTS that the milk was PISANG MILK!?!?!

Heck, if I were Prime Minister, I would even push for a law that enforces
ALL PISANG FLAVOURED MILK TO HAVE WARNING LABELS ON THEM THAT SAY

“WARNING: CONTENT CONTAINS SUSU PISANG AND MAY BE HARMFUL TO YOUR KOKO KRUNCH!!!”

Malaysia!!!

Malaysia is one heck of a developing country.

So much that I’m not even sure if we should be considered a developing country anymore.

Look at what we have.

Okay we have our own Twin Towers that is one of the tallest buildings in the world (and very frankly one of the most beautiful ones too).

We have our own National car that in spite of all its hiccups, is still something to be proud of.

We have our own satellites in space.

And now we have our very own… INSTANT MESSENGER…iTalk Buddy

This is got to be interesting.

To be honest, I first heard about TM’s iTalk Buddy when they were planning a campaign with Nuffnang. As soon as I got access to the site I downloaded the messenger only to find that… IT DOESN’T WORK ON MY MAC!!!!

But I really wanted to see our first Malaysian instant messenger so I got another computer and installed it there.

I must say that I am IMPRESSED.

IMPRESSED I TELL YOU!

It looks REALLY COOL… and the functions.. heck, it’s not just a simple messenger, there is a voice chat feature like Skype and it even allows you to make calls to conventional phones.

And believe it or not, the PINK layout somehow didn’t bother me.

Now the other cool thing about the iTalk Buddy is this.

THE MOJI PET!!!

Now I am not new to Moji, as in I’ve heard about it for quite a lot and even signed up with their website ages ago.

It’s this little Tamagochi like pet that lives in a cyberworld. You have to take care of it… and it shows your mood to anyone you’re talking to.

I think the pet is ADORABLE.

Go check out the instant messenger @ www.italkbuddy.com.my. It’s really quite cool.

Just yesterday I, along with another 35 Nuffnangers were invited to an event organized by Microsoft.

Microsoft developers flew in from as far as Germany to come here just to speak to the small select group of us before their Tech Ed Convention that they will be holding this week.
The event was well-planned, held at the right venue and even good food was served throughout, all courtesy of Microsoft.

They revealed Microsoft Popfly, Homeserver and Silverlight which I must say that I was quite impressed with. The creativity that it takes to come up with ideas like that is truly something.

Anyway, something else bought me over that night.

There was a lucky draw and they were giving away some Microsoft products, everything from Software to even Hardware like the really expensive Microsoft Keyboard and laser mouse apparently worth RM300.

And guess what… I WON THE MICROSOFT KEYBOARD AND MOUSE SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR MAC.

Which wasn’t hard of course… since there were only 4 Mac users there in the conference. Yah I know… what were we thinking right? It’s like a a Liverpool fan going to a Manchester United Fan Club meeting.

I asked Nic from Microsoft
“Nic… you guys intentionally bring these Mac products so you can single us Mac users out from the crowd huh?“.

Nic: Yes… we intentionally do that so we know who you are and we follow you home, tap your lines and stalk you until you go back to using Windows.

LOL.

Anyway….

AHAHAHAHA

AHAHAHAHAHAA

AHAHAHAHAHAHAA

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

AHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

AHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I LOVE MY NEW KEYBOARD!!!!

MESSAGE ME… MESSAGE ME ON MSN RIGHT NOW SO I CAN TYPE MORE ON MY NEW KEYBOARD… MSG ME!!!!!!!!!
