Uniqlo is now in Malaysia

finally! i’m a huge fan of Uniqlo ever since I first stepped into their stores at Hong Kong about 4 to 5 years back. Superbly happy that they are finally coming into Malaysian shores which means I dont have to go all the way nearest to Singapore to stock up my yearly supply :)

They officially open doors on November 4th 2010 at Farenheit88 (Kuala Lumpur). Farenheit88 used to be KL Plaza back in the days, but now totally refurbished and looking brand new and hip!

Uniqlo Malaysia was giving out free tote bags to the first 1000 customers and there were many more other promotions and price cutting going on in-store. Surprisingly, there were ALOT ALOT ALOT of Uniqlo fans out there and from what i heard, there were as many as 4000 people that visited this 3-storey store.

I got to the venue approx. 10.35am and already there was a massive queue. Saw the amount of people and i decided NOT to be stupid and queue for 2 hours. (heard stories that ppl Q up 2 to 3 hours to get in, 1 hour to shop, 1 hour to Q again to try, and 1 hour to Q to pay up). Thats nuts. I think its history in the making for a brand in Malaysia.

Anyways, enough talking, managed to capture some photos before i left the place. Again, to Uniqlo, thanks for coming in :)

Laptops powered by WiMAX !

Just last week, we got invited to have a sneak peak of whatisinside.com.my, a colaboration between Intel & P1.

And so, just yesterday, they have officially launched it and am looking at the packages, its pretty awesome and hard to resist!

hold on, what does it mean by WiMAX-Inside 4G laptops? Very straightforward, instead of using a USB modem dongle example..those portable Wiggy / telco modem dongles, these clever people inserted a little chip into the laptops so that you can be online everyday everywhere. I think its pretty handy specially when it comes to my dad who always ask me why cannot online? why no wifi cannot online ar? So yeah, once you boot up the new shiny laptop, run the application, automatically connects and wah lah, sorted, you’re online :) (only applicable to Malaysia)

The above only works if you purchase the laptops (a variety of brands ranging from Acer, Asus, Dell, Lenovo, MSI, Toshiba) from these guys, and you’re in luck as they are having 2 days of hard-to-resist promotions:

WiMAX-Inside 4G Laptop Introductory Sales

(dang, now i feel like being kiasu and go line up also)

  2. July 17th 2010 @ Low Yat Plaza from 12 – 2pm

Join the marathon at least once in a lifetime!

I’m glad i did it. Was so not looking forward to it at all, but when i got to the venue, the energy, the vibe was just awesome. Thousands of people, all up early morning at 5.30am gathered at Dataran Merdeka, KL for the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon.

Few days before the race, we were given a pack which consist of your bib number, singlet sponsored by New Balanced, a manual book and a red tag, which i think is an awesome device. The organizers will get to track all runners by this tag thats tagged on your shoe. This tag probably consist of the runner’s details and they could track your time too.

There were few categories in this marathon : Full marathon 42km, Half marathon 21km, 10km, 5km and some other kids run. Since this was my first time, i joined the 10km run. HOWEVER….i went there without ANY training. NONE. Yes, i’m THAT brave. *LOL* nonetheless, i’m proud of myself for going thru that 10km, though not in qualifying time of 1.5hrs, i finished it in 2hr :P (you can take your time and finish the run, theres no pressure here, but there is a qualifying time, guess its more for the certificate.)

There are, however 2 things that i wasnt too happy about the marathon, which i REALLY hope the organizers will take note of;

1) There are NO MEDICS around / along the marathon. there were police diverting traffic, but i hardly see any medic or even anyone with a tshirt that has a red cross on it.

2) The use of paper cups is so bad for the environment. I dont know what they can do about this, as every participants do need a drink, so maybe this is an issue that needs more thought to it.

Other than that….i wholly encourage everyone to join the marathon at least once in their lifetime to experience it! :)

sneak peak @ whatisinside.com.my

thanks Intel & P1 for the invite and lovely dinner. Definitely a beautiful marriage we all look forward to, a revolution in the making :)

check out whatisinside.com.my to find out what all the hype is about, and its officially launching come Tuesday 29th June 2010. For those looking for a new laptop, hold your horses, mark your calendars!

Join the marathon at least once in a lifetime!

I’m glad i did it. Was so not looking forward to it at all, but when i got to the venue, the energy, the vibe was just awesome. Thousands of people, all up early morning at 5.30am gathered at Dataran Merdeka, KL for the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon.

Few days before the race, we were given a pack which consist of your bib number, singlet sponsored by New Balanced, a manual book and a red tag, which i think is an awesome device. The organizers will get to track all runners by this tag thats tagged on your shoe. This tag probably consist of the runner’s details and they could track your time too.

There were few categories in this marathon : Full marathon 42km, Half marathon 21km, 10km, 5km and some other kids run. Since this was my first time, i joined the 10km run. HOWEVER….i went there without ANY training. NONE. Yes, i’m THAT brave. *LOL* nonetheless, i’m proud of myself for going thru that 10km, though not in qualifying time of 1.5hrs, i finished it in 2hr :P (you can take your time and finish the run, theres no pressure here, but there is a qualifying time, guess its more for the certificate.)

There are, however 2 things that i wasnt too happy about the marathon, which i REALLY hope the organizers will take note of;

1) There are NO MEDICS around / along the marathon. there were police diverting traffic, but i hardly see any medic or even anyone with a tshirt that has a red cross on it.

2) The use of paper cups is so bad for the environment. I dont know what they can do about this, as every participants do need a drink, so maybe this is an issue that needs more thought to it.

Other than that….i wholly encourage everyone to join the marathon at least once in their lifetime to experience it! :)
