Ovi Maps Racing! Fun, Excitement & Customization!

Have had enough with your Ovi Maps Free FOREVER Navigation? Well it's not the end~! Nokia brings you Ovi Maps RACING!

What is it? 
Simple!... Racing....... It's an application where you get to play racing around your work place or home! (Okay, doesn't sounds right the way I put it in...lolx)

It's actually a combination of your ordinary Map Navigation and fun entertaining racing! Its like having installed racing games from Gameloft like Asphalt 4 where the tracks are pre-loaded.

So why is Ovi Map Racing any different? 
Well, it's your very own personal CUSTOMIZABLE tracks! YOU Mastermind your own tracks!
No... This is an application to have fun and excitement with. Never ever take this seriously into "real life"...
Check out the vidz below to really really get what I'm blabbling about (kinda...lolx)



Apologize for the backdated post.... Been busy and "not feeling well" lately... sobs...

Samsung Corby - Color Me Carnival!

Hey Guys! We're gonna kick-start 2010 with a special event by Samsung Corby - Color Me Carnival! In-conjunction with Samsung Fun Club, NuffNang, Square Roots, Metafilm, St. John Ambulance & Sunway Lagoon! (There's probably more involved here) Let the games begin! (more like me story-telling it... lolx)

First and foremost, "THANK YOU SAMSUNG & NUFFNANG!" I was shortlisted to be here and this my first and more amazing event that I had fun at. Although I kept to myself most times (super shy) I still made new friends along the way and there's just so much more than just fun & games!

I had to reach at 9.30am SHARP according to the invitation via email. We had to queue to register ourselves. The crowd was "W.O.W"......... 25 participants shortlisted from Samsung Fun Club & 75 NuffNang Bloggers! I won't be surprise if there's more! (it's what I've heard from my friend)

Once we're in Sunway Lagoon Extreme Park, we headed off to grab some seats and our favourite (my favourite!) "Emcee of the Day - Liang" started off with an exciting welcome and our very own Samsung Malaysia Electronics (SME) Sdn. Bhd.'s Marketing Manager, Mr. Sam Chen gave his first speech to kick-start the event!

Our 1st game! 18sg.... Not for the faint-hearted....... Called "Stomp The Yard"
The goal is to step on the other team players balloon as much as possible until the last one standing wins the team! Very brutal game but fun and exciting! (Funny too... ha ha ha)
  

Great game! Amazing teamwork!
Winners as follow : Orange, Pink, Yellow, White

The 2nd game! 18sx.... Try not to get wet or wear extra cover ups later.... Called "Tug-O-War"
The goal is not to slip and fall or vice versa! Pull the rope and win! Simple but tough... It's in the water!!! 

Great teamwork again! Nice strategy... 
Winners as follow : Orange, Pink, White, Yellow 
(Ps. I'm starting to lose concentration here - might've been wrong order, correctly me please... hehe...)


 The 3rd game! "Rock Climbing"... It is nooooooooottt easy!
At first, the goal is to grab as much balloons as we can (same color as team color) one team member at a time. It become almost like a handicapped match... Pink and Yellow's rock climbing walls were tougher than Orange and White...Because of this, our kind-hearted Samsung Event guy (sorry don't know the name), gave us a chance to replay the game and this time, climb anywhere we want but make sure we touch the top and shout 'Corby' before we come back down!

Very strong moral booster from each teams! Not much teamwork seen here except for extra motivations and supporters shouting at their teammates to climb, climb and climb!
Winners as follow : Yellow, White, Orange, Pink
(Oh man! I'm not sure if White and Orange has been mixed up.... Oops!)


The 4th and Final game! 18sg... Yes, brutal... "Paintball"
The goal, each team split into 2 teams of 5 members. Each team against the others must get the flag in the center without getting hit; Before, During & After - getting the flag!.... I must admit, very very tough but worth the experience!

Everyone, great sport~!
Winners as follow : Orange, Yellow, Pink, White
(Did I get this right????)

On my personal experience during the times when I was not participating... I had my other fun watching and playing 1 or 2 other games nearby... Lolx... (I missed out dearly on the sweeeeeet "flying fox"...sobs...)

The Finale Of The Day!
Fooooooooooooooooooooooooddd~! Deeeessseeerrrttsss~!.... Yum... Yum...
Time for the awards!

We had permission to play anything we want at Sunway Lagoon Extreme Park because we have the tags around our wrists. But I had to go back and I want a shower soooo bad! Plus, I had my fun and I'm remembering it my entire life!

Finally, a great big warm wonderful THANK YOU to Samsung, Samsung Fun Club, Nuffnang, Nuffnangers (you-know-who-you-are), bloggers and everyone at the event.
Thank You Samsung for making my day "Oh-So-Colorful". It has been 11years since I last went to a "Theme Park"! Thank you, thank you, thank you.......

Conclusion : Pink team probably got 3rd or 4th place but who cares! Everyone's a winner today! Look at the goodies they gave us already! Plus, we've gained friends we've never met before (I know I did) isn't that the best gift money can't buy?! Priceless!... See ya soon !

Yoyo The Clown

Malaysia's very own "YoYo The Clown"! You'll see him at parties, functions, events and Genting Highlands! Today Sabrina will bring you with an exclusive interview with "YoYo The Clown"! Here goes...

It was 2.15pm when Sabrina reached the doorstep of "Yoyo The Clown", a friendly guy, filled with enthusiasm, fun and laughter. Always cracking up jokes every now and then and never stops being down-to-earth all at the same time.


Sabrina: Good afternoon, Yoyo! It's a pleasure meeting you!
Yoyo : Afternoon to you too young lady and pleasure meeting you too.





Sabrina : I was amazed by the Mardi Gras Parade last seen on Sunday, 12th July 2009 at Genting Highlands! I was awed in excitement and who did it? I mean who came up with the idea?
Yoyo : Genting Highlands of course. I did help out bringing in the people to for the performances like the Magical Clown Show, Fire Dance Show, Mascot Stage Show and the list goes on (chuckles)





Sabrina : (laughs) Amazing! AND the list goes on? Such as? I'm interested, tell us more, it's always good to know!
Yoyo : (grins) Well I had people to come in to dress up in rainbow-coloured costumes, masquerade masks, clowns putting on cheeky faces, stilt walkers, magicians, fire-eating tribal groups (my favourite) and characters from 1001 Nights of Arabia.




Sabrina : Wow! No wonder the parade was lively and colorful AND exciting! I mean, Genting always comes up with fabulous ideas over the years and this is one parade worth mentioning! I'm lucky to interview you right at this moment! You're Genting Highlands very own clown, aren't you?
Yoyo : Well, I've been with Genting Highlands for 8 - 9 years now and it just keeps getting better (chuckles)




Sabrina : And it's great to know that too! But 8 - 9 years?! How long have you been in this business?
Yoyo : In Malaysia, 16 years and overseas 11 years.




Sabrina : A total of 27 years and how did it began?
Yoyo : I actually started at the International Shrine Clown Association (ISCA) of North America since 1983. I was also a member at the NorthEast Shrine Clown Association (NESCA) and I belong to The Northern Clowns of Cairo Temple, Rutland VT.


Sabrina : So how long did you live abroad and decided to come to Malaysia to make it big here?
Yoyo : I lived in Vermont for 11 years or so, volunteering with the Shriners, helping out at charity for 22 hospitals for children before moving back home to Malaysia in the 90s.


Sabrina : When you came back to Malaysia, your first job was Genting Highlands?
Yoyo : (laughs) No, not really. You see, the moment I came back to Malaysia, there wasn't much talent in the clowning business here. So I started the balloon sculpture until today and worked in some hotels like Putra Jaya Marriot Hotel, Sunway Lagoon, Sunway Pyramid, parties, functions, private and company events and now Genting Highlands. 


Sabrina: That's great! And tell us, besides the clown and balloon sculpture, are there anything else that helped you expand your business in Malaysia?
Yoyo : Of course (grins), I love to help scout for entertainers like mentioned above such as the magicians, clowns, mimes, santa clause, God Of Prosperity, stilt walkers, diablo performers and all kinds of artists.




Sabrina : What's your specialty in all that?
Yoyo : Balloon sculpture (smiles). I can make all kinds of balloons at special requests. It takes time and money but it's worth it. I can make a dragon so real, you might just want to put in on display and try not to burst it (laughs)




Sabrina : (laughs) That is amazing! Well tell me more about Mardi Gras Parade. I mean besides the people what about the props?
Yoyo : Besides supplying most of the entertainers for Genting, I lliase a lot with them (Genting) and supply most of the costumes because we make them ourselves even the make up is done by us and trainings I will provide at the same time.




Sabrina : Cool! You're like an all-rounder! It's great to know. Besides Mardi Gras Parade, other events that we can spot you in?
Yoyo : (chuckles) We have events, Diablo events and we even get a group to train the public free-of-charge (FOC). Students will flock by whenever it's a school holiday and they will come and will be eager to learn the Diablo.




Sabrina : Diablo? You caught me there. I'm clueless, fill me in?
Yoyo : (laughs) Well I won't be surprised. You see, Diablo is a chinese yo-yo also known as "Chě Líng", we get performers from Malaysia to come to Genting Highlands and compete and the Best performance and selected participants gets to go to Taiwan, China to win competition and prizes. Some are even hired by Genting Highland to come and perform during the festival and holiday season and all the best players will group on 2 days.




Sabrina : 2 days? Is it soon? What's the update from Genting Highlands this coming holiday?
Yoyo : (smiles) You guessed it right, it was Genting's innovative idea to have this Diablo competition for social purposes known worldwide many many years ago and this will be the first "National Diablo Competition" in Genting Highlands for Malaysians.




Sabrina : The first! This is exclusive! Tell us more!
Yoyo : (laughs) Well, it's just around the corner. On the 19th - 20th December 2009, the "National Diablo Competition" will be official held at Genting Highlands and we expect up to 80 participants all over Malaysia during this 2 day event. There'll be qualified judges and I'm doing my part to help out in this event as much as I can for Genting Highlands.




Sabrina : You sure work hard! Genting Highlands is so lucky to have you on their side. And I realize time is almost up when we're "chatting" (giggles). It's so great to meet you and a wonderful experience it is!
Yoyo : (chuckles) You're pretty much exciting yourself. It's great to meet you too.




Sabrina : Why thank you. I think I'll be headed back for now. I hope to very much hear more of you and the happenings and buzz in Genting Highlands.

Yoyo : You're welcome and same with Ratianda. Keep me posted on the latest updates (smiles).





Sabrina : Thanks again.

Hey guys! It's me Sabrina. I hope you all enjoyed this interview spot! I hope to bring you more! Well, do look out for it!
