july recap

It's end of July, and let's just see what happened in the 7th month of the year 2007.

Sibu Trip: 3-4 July.
I had to fly over to Sibu for a night's stay to replace a faulty power pack for the server. Work, gah!

Blades World 2007 @ One World Hotel, KL: 11-12 July.
It took me less than a year to go back KL, sooner than I expected.

This trip is the trip I'd complain the least. I made my first official trip, which doesn't require me to work. This is what I call fun.



Unlike my other trips, I need not to wait till after-5, and shut down servers, and start working on the server. I love this the most. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Just go there and attend conference.



The only complain was. the trip was too short.



One night only.





10th Rainforest World Music Festival @ Sarawak Cultural Village, Kuching: 13-15 July
My first visit to the annual world-class event in Kuching - Rainforest World Music Festival.



It was great!



I'll definitely come again next time.



And next year, I hope I can extend my exposure to the media/press. :D


Bloggers' Meet @ Bestberry: 21 July
Dropped by to this meet after driving over to office on a Saturday afternoon. -_-

Now, can you spot the odd?

Rihanna: Hot poses for PAPER Magazine

Guys found these HOT scans of Rihanna, the HOT & young singing sensation, from PAPER magazine...





For the uninitiated, Rihanna (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988) is a Barbadian singer with musical influences from pop, R&B, reggae, dancehall, and dance. Rihanna became known around the world with chart hits such as "Pon de Replay", "SOS", "Unfaithful"; "Break It Off", and more recently with "Umbrella" and "Shut Up and Drive".

She won a Beauty Pageant contest at her school. She also preformed Mariah Carey's "Hero" in a school talent show. One day Rihanna's life changed forever when one of her friends introduced her to Evan Rodgers, a producer from New York. Then she left the small island she called home to go to New York to meet Jay-Z CEO of Def Jam. He heard her sing and he knew that she was going to be big and believed she was more than a song. She was 16 when she was signed to Def Jam.

Enjoy some more of these pictures of her...

the week in recap.

Rainforest World Music Festival (RMWF) came, and almost gone now. Today's the last day for the great annual event in Sarawak.

I just had my first ever visit to RWMF last night. It was great! Updates and photos to follow soon.

It has been quite a busy week for me.


Early in the week
I've been trying to get a server up and running in the office, and is still trying. Hopefully, all can be done by tomorrow. I've been trying to get help from the manufacturer's technical support, but it sounded like they're not well-equipped with the knowledge to assist.

I had to dig the dirt most of the time to get the solution. Crap.


Midweek
I spent a night in Cititel Midvalley, KL on Wednesday.

The idea was to attend seminar/conference in Bandar Utama the next morning. Details and update on this may come on later.


Weekend
Spent time working Saturday, before zooming to my very first visit to RWMF. And, I liked it a lot!

Photos and updates to come later.

Harry Potter & The First Kiss

The best part about Harry Potter , as millions of fans of the boy wizard created by J K Rowling will vouch for, is how he grows with every instalment of the series which has made its creator richer than the queen of England .

So, the sweet Boy Who Lived in Sorcerer's Stone transforms into a rebellious, angst-ridden teenager by the time he learns in Order of the Phoenix that it's his destiny to kill or be killed by the evil Lord Voldemort.

And along the way, he falls in love -- or so he thinks -- with Cho Chang, and they share their first kiss under the mistletoe in Order of the Phoenix. And that kiss is what the world will see in the movie.

Daniel Radcliffe , who plays Harry, told Britain's Daily Telegraph that the awkward kiss was a walk in the park compared to starring in Equus, a West End play in which Radcliffe -- who turns 18 in July -- bares all.

'Kissing Katie [Leung, who plays Cho in the movies] was a very comfortable experience,' Radcliffe told the Daily Telegraph at the launch of the movie, which reportedly cost around $400 million, 'especially when compared with being naked on stage and blinding horses [in Equus], which I am sure Katie will be relieved to know.'

Leung's reaction, on the other hand, was closer to a teenager's. She told the British newspaper she was nervous, because she was worried of offending her parents. The two actors took around 30 takes to get the shot canned, and confessed they enjoyed it. The shot is out on the Internet as part of the promos.

Cho Chweet, do we hear you say?

Watch the First Kiss with the trailer here guys!!

Bipasa Basu & Cristiano Ronaldo during the same Ceremony

Bipasha Basu Creates Storm Kissing Cristiano Ronaldo

Bipasha Basu, the sizzling hot diva of bollywood, was caught kissing 22-year old Portuguese soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo at a nightclub Belem in Lisbon on Sunday. Bong beauty and Ronaldo were present at the club for the VIP bash that was held after the announcement of the new Seven Wonders of the World in the Portuguese capital. Bipasha was the only actress invited from India to attend the announcement function.

As a source present on the occasion reveals, ‘ The chemistry between Bipasha and Ronaldo was very apparent. They were flirting with each other and Ronaldo even volunteered to show her around the city. Bipasha was more than happy.’ As Bipasha too says, ‘ Meeting Ronaldo was a dream come true. I am a big fan of his. And I was totally floored by the way he kept showering me with praises all the time. It was very flattering. After the event, we went out clubbing, and that was simply fantastic.’

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese footballer who plays for Manchester United, has been dating actress Gemma Atkinson for last few months. Recently, there was a rift between the soccer superstar and Atkins about her relationship with his teammate Alan Smith. But later Atkins denied any affair with Smith and the matter was closed. And this time Ronaldo has been caught on camera with Bipasha Basu in a kissing act and this is certainly going to take its toll on his love relationship with Atkins.

Bipasha Basu’s relationship with John Abraham is already going through a rough phase and this new kissing controversy will further aggravate the trouble between the two. John Abraham is currently shooting for Nagesh Kukunoor’s film Aashayein in Pondicherry and is completely cut off from Bipasha Basu. Though the handsome actor has been maintaining all along that everything is hunky dory between the two but the reality seems to be far from that.

Of late, the Bong beauty Bipasha Basu has been seen more with Saif Ali Khan than with John Abraham and the grapevine is abuzz with the talk of the spark flying between the two. However, Bipasha has been constantly maintaining that Saif is just a good friend with whom she gets along well. And now this new man in her life.

It seems that Saif has become redundant….er….er…. unsafe and… Ronaldo has scored a goal, no Bips!!
