I can’t believe it’s been 3 months since our previous Nuffnang Pajama Party.

Heck it feels like it just happened… but when I realized that the 3rd Quarter was coming, I guess we all decided it was time to get Nuffnangers together again.
This 21st June 2008, together with Maxis Broadband we’re having the very first LIVE BLOGGING Gathering of its kind in Malaysia.

That means there are going to be I think 8 computers there hooked up to the internet for all our bloggers there to blog about the event on the spot and upload their pictures during the event itself.

Heck there are even going to be prizes given away for people who live blog and the best “Live Blogged” entry will win a Sony PSP.
And heck every party has to have a theme.

I remember the last time we tried the Pajama Party theme, I was a little skeptical about how many Nuffnangers will really come dressed in their pajamas but I was so wrong.

On the night itself over 70-80% of the Nuffnangers came in their Pajamas .So for this party, we’re gonna have an animal theme.

Though I’m not sure how many people are really going to come dressed as animals since animal costumes are hard to find, we kept the minimum requirement low.

As long as your shirt has some kind of animal on it its fine, although the best dressed male and female will each win a Dell XPS laptop.
Sigh… sometimes I wish I was a blogger first and a Nuffnang Co-Founder second. When I join all these things, I never get to win any of those prizes.

And you know what the saddest part is?

As part of the process to narrow down the selection for the limited number of tickets we have to give away, we’re getting bloggers to draw any picture of a wild animal and post it on their blogs.

You would think that since I’m one of the so called “Bosses” of Nuffnang, I wouldn’t have to do that right cuz I should be automatically entitled a ticket.

WRONG!!!

MY COLLEAGUES TELL ME I HAVE TO DO THAT TOO!!!

So here.

I was thinking of what animal to draw and I’ve decided to stick to my favourite pet “Ah Bop”.But “Ah Bop” isn’t exactly wild so armed with just my laptop’s mousepad, I’ve decided to draw a WILD AH BOP… the kind of Ah Bop that eats people.

Nice leh…

I am such an arteest.

Too bad I decided to be an entrepreneur instead. Imagine the art the world could have seen!!!

Now to figure out what to wear for the event.

Some of my Singaporean colleagues who are coming down from Singapore just for the event suggested this, and I quote an e-mail Hui Wen from Singapore sent us.

While boss stewie was in Singapore we came up with an idea for all the Nuffies to dress up as animals with a THEME for the upcoming live blogging event. (yes Singapore side may be going down for the event yay!!)

Here are some ideas :

1) Food chain (which ming likes a lot because he gets to be the predator)

EG: Boss Ming = Lion ; Boss Stewie = Tiger;

Robb = Wild boar (eaten by bosses)

Yee hou = erm, what do wild boars eat (eaten by robb)

Huiwen = grasshopper (lowest of the food chain. Sobs)

2) Related animals EG: School of fish but bosses get to be the biggest fish Robb = Angelfish Yeehou = Clownfish

3) Animals as characters: EG: from movies / cartoon shows; bosses take lead character THREE LITTLE PIGS AND THE BAD FOX (aiyah whats the proper name hah)

Boss stewie = Big bad fox

Yeehou = pig who built grass house

Robb = pig who built stick house

Firdauz = pig who built brick house

4) GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS

Boss ming = goldilocks

Huiwen = mama bear

Cherie = papa bear

Nicholas = baby bear

Raff = fish porridge that we ate

Ok u get the idea that bosses have to be the centre of our “Animal story”.
above are just examples, I have randomly taken names so please don’t take
offence.

Also note that we have to try to get costumes that are simple and easy to
make / obtain.

Please vote or keep ideas coming!!

I wanna be the big bad fox or the tiger!!!

To Robb, Hui Wen, Yee Hou, Raff, Nicholas, Lee Meng, Tim 2, Firdauz, Michelle, Cherie or ANY of the Nuffies… if you can find us all the Big Bad Fox or the Food Chain costumes.. I’ll wear it to the party.

Serious.

One weekend morning a few months ago, I was driving out of the city towards Klang to meet my friend Boon for a good Bak Kut Teh breakfast. I was supposed to pick him up at Subang Parade and go in my car.

When he hopped in, I asked him
“Oi.. your gf leh?”

And he said
“She’s still sleeping. You know I feel that girls always seem to have a harder time getting out of bed than guys”.
That’s when it struck me.

I thought of someone I had spent time with and it’s true. Every morning when I wake up next to her, she’s still asleep.

And if I don’t intervene to wake her up, the clock will hit 12PM and she’ll still be asleep. And believe me, just telling her to “wake up” is not enough to wake her up. First I gotta go turn off the air-con, then pull off the blanket and go make as much noise as I can washing up.

In fact, here’s what annoys me the most.

I wake up later than usual when she’s around because just when I want to get out of bed and go brush my teeth, she cuddles back into my arms resting her big head on my shoulder and that warm feeling feels soooo good it makes me want to stay in bed.

The next I know I wake up and I’m late for work. Ish… so unproductive!

Then I think back of all the girls I’ve been with in the past and they’re ALL like that. Like getting out of bed in the morning is the most difficult thing they’ve ever had to do.

(All except one though… who would get up at 6am every morning like clock work. Heck even I can’t beat that.)

So do you guys and girls find that to be true or are my cases the exceptions?

I’m in Singapore again now for business. Ah I’ve been traveling around so much this past week I’m getting really really tired.

Anyway, while I was working in our little Nuffnang Singapore office, I checked my mail only to see an e-mail that Cely just forwarded me.

It was an e-mail filled with pictures of the night life in Taiwan and it was… WILD!!!I mean Taiwan has always been known to be a great place to party when it comes to nightlife but but…. this is a whole new level of WILD!!!

I mean heck, sometimes I go clubbing here in Penang or KL and I see a club full of guys.

In Taiwan however, not only are there so many chicks but heck… if you could see the stuff they do.
One of the photos that Cely sent me even had one hot Taiwanese girl actually sucking the nipple of another girl IN THE CLUB!!!

Naturally I decided not to put the picture up here haha very rude of me to 😛

But check out the other girls!!!HOLY CRAP!!!

These pictures kinda reminded me of an experience I had last year when I was at Taipei’s Ministry of Sound with some of my Taiwanese friends.
I was on the way to the toilet in the club when I suddenly saw a group of people crowding around two girls who were arguing ferociously just outside the toilet.

I looked at them for a while but couldn’t hear what they were saying. Then one of my friends came up to me and said
“Hey what’s up?”

I asked him
“What are those two girls fighting about?”

And his reply shocked me
“Oh I saw them fighting just now. Apparently what happened was this guy came to the club and picked up one of the girls.

Then after dancing with her for some time he disappeared. When the girl went looking for him, she found him dancing with her friend so the both of them started fighting with one of them screaming “WHY YOU STEAL MY GUY!??!?!””.
At that moment I turned to my friend to say
“WHAT THE HELL?!?!? WHY YOUR COUNTRY SO GOOD WAN??? WHAT’S THE GIRL GUY RATIO IN TAIWAN??? 10 TO 1?!?!?!”

I mean back in reality a.k.a. Malaysia, I hear guys fighting among each other for girls in clubs but never for girls fighting for the guy.

And in Malaysia if the guy did that I would imagine that the first girl would go up to him and give him a big slap.

But NOoooo.. instead she pushed him aside and fought with the second girl he picked up.

WTF?!?!?!
And I remember seeing the guy just standing there quietly while the two girls fought.

Here’s the best part… the guy wasn’t that good looking but the two girls who were fighting.. HOLY CRAP WERE DAMN BLOODY HOT!!

WHY?!?! WHY?!?!?! WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

One of my aunties used to tell me to be weary of Taiwanese girls. She used to say
“Taiwanese girls will hook you if they think you’re rich or successful, get married to you and when you marry her, you marry her whole family. That means you’re probably gonna be supporting her entire family as well all down to her brothers and sisters. So be careful ah!”.

I thought about what she said for a while.

Then I saw another picture that Cely sent me of a Taiwanese girl.And I decided… F*CK IT!!!

THAT’S IT!!!

I’M MOVING TO TAIWAN!!!! WHO’S WITH ME????

I know Ringo will follow. Right Ringo?

Adrian is a good friend of mine whom I got to know back during my A-Level days.

He’s one of those people who is… really really smart (he got straight A’s for SPM and A-levels) but enjoys doing really stupid things sometimes and as you can imagine, he’s a big fan of the US TV show Jackass.

To name stupid things he does, he once brought his own toilet bowl into an elevator and took a dump there.
And there was the legendary time when he went for an interview for a shipping company and they asked him “So why do you want to work with us?”

His answer was
“Because you guys have lots of ships… and I like ships”.

So anyway, Adrian’s now settled down and working in Canada. He was only back in Malaysia for 2 weeks and left for Canada just a week ago. While he was here, he took the opportunity to meet up with a lot of our friends from college who are now all doing very different things.
The bulk of our college friends are working at the Big Four audit firms or banks, one or two of them in PR, one or two of them in Law and just one of them running his family business.

We were all catching up in his home and Googling our names when Adrian suddenly saw the BusinessWeek article where I was nominated as one of the Top 25 Young Entrepreneurs in Asia last year.He jumped up and shouted
“OMG OMG OMG!!! YOU’RE FEHMES!!! YOU’RE A CELEBRITY… PLEASE SIGN MY TITS!!!”

And he lifted up his T-Shirt.
At first I thought he was joking. I mean anyone would have thought so right?

But when it comes to Adrian and when something stupid is suggested… he’s never joking.

So I got myself the nearest marker I could find and signed on his left tit.Signing on a boob is harder than it looks actually.

I could barely make out my signature once I was done with it.

So there you have it everyone.

Brad Pitt or McDreamy probably gets a nice set of boobs from a hot girl to sign on.
I get to sign on a hairy man boob.

Doesn’t it RAWK being Timothy Tiah?

I was just logging on to Facebook a few days ago, something I very VERY rarely do but just somehow decided to do it anyway out of boredom and I found that there were quite a number of people in my friend list that I somehow don’t seem to know but yet at some point in the past had confirmed them as friends.

I’m sure this happens to a lot of people.

Now here’s what really caught my attention. I was browsing my friend updates when I came across this ‘friend’ of mine.

Her name is Carmen Bianca.
SHE WAS HOT!!!

Heck I thought I would KNOW if I knew a hot girl like that and I have no clue how she ended up on my list. I certainly didn’t add her… heck I’ve never went looking to add any of my friends on Facebook before, partly because I hardly spend enough time there. And even if I DID find her, I wouldn’t add her as a friend.

HOW DO YOU BE FRIENDS WITH A GIRL WHO LOOKS LIKE THAT?!?!You’ve either gotta be gay or really really gay to be able to be friends with someone like that.

And if something made me even more curious was that the update that I saw from her said
“Carmen is single and looking”.

She had also recently bought me for $885 (I am sooo cheap).

So anyway I sent her a message that said
“Do I know you?”

And somehow it just occurred to me that it might’ve been a bit rude of me to phrase it like that but oh well….

Anyone here can shed some light on how I know Carmen?

Update: So you guys DID shed some light on who the girl in the picture is.. it’s LEAH DIZON!!! HAHAHAHA FARK… that means the real Carmen Bianca is probably a really fugly guy. Lucky I didn’t try to pick her/him up. “Hey Baby… How you doing?”.

PS: If you don’t know who Leah Dizon is click here.

Nuffnang has been running this campaign for McDs lately for the Big Mac Chant where bloggers just find whatever creative ways they can to say

““Two All-Beef Patties,
Special Sauce, Lettuce,
Cheese, Pickles, Onions
On A Sesame Seed Bun!”

The videos I’ve been watching are hilarious.

Heck check out any of the videos on the microsite, any random one I clicked seemed to have thousands of views…. THOUSANDS!!

Okay let me share a few here which I thought were great. This one done by a bunch of Penangites at the McDs in 1-Stop Penang.

Then there’s Kenny’s HILARIOUS PRANK!!! HAHAHAHAHA

Then there’s this one by Sewjin which I thought was great… LOL Sewjin.

If you guys wanna see the rest of the videos, or compete with these people to win the RM10,000 then click here.

Here’s the thing.

I really really wanna do this Big Mac Chant thing. Maybe its peer pressure because everyone is doing it but heck I don’t know what to do.

All these people set the bar so high up!!!

What do I do what do I do????

Anyone got any ideas??? I only have a few days left before the deadline!

John: HOLY CRAP TIM.. THAT GIRL IS HOT… I’D SHAG HER!!!

Jane: Pfft… you guys… always objectifying women! Treating women like objects!

John: What?

Jane: It’s just disgusting that you guys always treat us like sex objects. How would you like it if we talked of you as a THING rather than a person?

John: You mean if girls talk about me being a sex object for them? THAT IS AWESOME STUFF!!!

Jane: You chauvinistic PIG!

John: What?? Tim help me out here.

Tim: Uhmm.. hey look… elephant!!! *points away*

I’ve just got a new business idea for anyone who might want to start it.

Okay here’s the thing. I’ve always been thinking about the blind spot that some people eventually develop with advertisements. Whatever medium you use, sooner or later some people might just stop paying attention to the ad you have.

For example, you may drive on a road but not notice a billboard ad or you might be watching TV and not notice the ads because every time there’s a commercial break you go get a drink.

So I was thinking… what is it… that people will always watch or look at without fail and it came to me just recently.

Here’s how.

Somehow quite a number of the female friends I hang out with tend to be very well endowed and they’re not afraid to flaunt it. So they wear fairly low cut tops sometimes to show it off a little.I notice when I walk with them anywhere in public, say at The Curve, out of every 10 people we walk past, 8 of them will take a good look at the breasts and it doesn’t matter if the people passing by are guys or girls, both guys and girls look at Cleavage.

Now this is something that people are ALWAYS gonna be looking at.

I mean fine you can say that say if you run a social-networking site and display ads, maybe one day people might get bored of social-networking and you’ll lose your audience but hey… correct me if I’m wrong but BOOBIES HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR BLOODY CENTURIES… AND YET US MEN HAVE YET TO GET BORED OF THEM.

And here’s another good thing about it. Boob Ads… ARE MOBILE!!! They go everywhere!!!!


So ladies… you’re all soo very very powerful and all hold SOOOO MUCH POWER IN YOUR HANDS… all we need to do is find a way to monetize all the booby space out there.

And to do that… all we have to do is… PUT ADS ON THE CLEAVAGE!!!And it can work like that… First you gotta convince the dear ladies to join your so called “Ad network” . So all these nice ladies become your publishers and will run the ads.

All you have to do is produce the ads (ie paint them on the boobies or whatever) and find advertisers (okay fine this is easier said than done but nothing worth having comes easy).

You see people putting ads on everything these days, from envelopes to greetings cards to benches to walls… why have we missed the place that EVERYONE IS BOUND TO LOOK AT?!?!

And here’s the thing.. if you’re a guy… BoobAds will do you some good. Say the next time you get caught staring at a girl’s boobs, you could just say

“Hey sorry… was trying to see what the website address was for that awesome computer you’re advertising on your boobs”.

So who wants to start this business?

We can call it… BoobAds – Monetize your breasts today!Lets start on a business plan to get some funding.

Anyone keen on investing?

Anyone?

PS: It’s hiring time again at Nuffnang and this time we’re looking for Web Designers. Anyone keen on joining our ever so funny team e-mail me at lengmoublogs@yahoo.com okie?

If you ask some of my closest friends about me (like Hasan in the picture below), one of the things among the other good and bad things they’ll tell you is that I’m a very very determined person and if there’s anything that I’ve grown confident about… it’s in my determination.The history of this goes all the way back even to when I was in high school. I wasn’t a very good student all the way up to Form 1… mainly because I hated studying. By the time I got into Form 2, I had began to realize how stupid I am and started trying to be the model student.

That means I didn’t just start studying hard, I started taking up all sorts of activities and being the top in them. By the time I finished school, I had been the top of the form (well only once, most of the time I ended up somewhere in Top 5), was the Head of the Debate Department in the English Language Society in school (one of the biggest and most powerful societies back then), and Captain of the school and zone table tennis team.

I carried forward that same kind of determination when Nuffnang came about. When we first started off, we didn’t have the huge clients we have today. Far from that in fact… but I was determined to grow the network’s ad spend. That means taking every deal I could get.

The smallest deal I had EVER taken in my history of Nuffnang was a RM100 campaign. That’s right.. RM100 for some online store. Today of course Nuffnang has a minimum ad spend that goes into the thousands but that was another time altogether.

Being determined has got to be the one thing in life that everyone can be if he/she wants to be. I didn’t always use to be like that though, there was a time in my life where I gave up very very easily on things I wanted badly but didn’t want to fight for.

But that all changed one day when I decided never to give up on something I really really wanted and never to let anything or anyone get in your way. It’s very simple to do since you choose whether to give up or not.

You have control over that. Sometimes you don’t have control of the results for the work you put in but you always have control on whether you want to keep trying or not.

Keep trying and you’ll eventually get what you want. At least… that’s what I thought… until today.

A few days ago I was talking to KY about going for an 8 Course Dinner at JW Marriot and to watch the premier of Made of Honor.Hong Leong was nice enough to give out 80 seats for Nuffnangers to attend which is not too many to go around, so in order to narrow it down we decided to get everyone to play this fishing game on their website.

KY had just played it and we were talking on MSN when we had this conversation.
In my defence, I was thinking to myself that hey.. it’s just some fishy game right? All we have to do is just play it over and over again until you get a high score.

Well I’ve been playing it for 3 days now…. and the highest score I got is this.
*SIGH*

I don’t have the determination to play any more… 🙁

KY, I give up.

You win. I owe you a plate of Char Kueh Teow.

You bastard!
