Curryegg.Com Being The Most Popular Blog

First of all, I would like to thank Rei and the members in Bloggerunited for nominating my blog as the most popular blog of the month. I'm really proud and intrigue with the news. Yes. Frankly, I am grateful for being a part of the growing blogger community.

You guys are rock!


*hugs*

When I first receive the news from Rei, my heart went dup-dap-dup-dap. It beated really fast and my curious mind keep on asking the same question, "Is it real?"

Nothing is as excited as being nominated as the most popular blog in Bloggerunited. Yes. Seriously, I'm excited even till now. I guess it is most probably because of the interview session which Rei suggested and he is running it right now. Wuuoooott!!!


That's mean I'm being interviewed in Bloggerunited and it's absolutely fantastic! Lolx.. Control yourself, will ya?


*pinching my cheeks*


Ok.
I'm in relax mode. Fuhh.....
So this is how it looks like.. I mean the interview session.. haha.. :D

I love this design! Great job rei!


So far, half of the interviews between Rei and three of us, Franz, Sheylara and me have been done. There will be another 2 sessions coming up next. While waiting for the next session, I would love to share my fist half of my interview with you. Uhh.. I just can't wait to share it immediately. Lolx...

Rei, hope you don't mind for copying the interview here.. :P


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Very First Interview With Bloggerunited.
(link)


Hello, Im Rei...Congratulations to you guys for winning Blogger Of The Month, Popular Blogger and Popular Blog of November 2008. Please describe yourself in 3 words.


Hello Rei. Thank for the nomination and I am glad my blog has been listed as the Popular Blog of November 2008. Seriously, I'm surprised, yet excited with the news. Thank again.. :)

Emm.. well, I would describe myself as creative, positive and friendly.
:)


Tell us a bit about yourself, where you from and what you do?

First of all, I guess some of you might be curious that why I choose Curryegg as my name in blogosphere. To shorten the story, it was my nickname which I got it from my classmates back in high school. It had been years I never heard of this calling ever since I graduated until recently, I use it for my blog link. So, here you go - the Curryegg blogger..

*giggles*

So back to our question. Where are we? Emm.. Oh ya. Currently I am still a student, majoring in Psychology in one of the local university in Malaysia. Psychology is a fun subject and I love it.
:)


How long have you been involved in blogging. Is there any good experiences happened to you related to blogging?
So far, it has been nearly two years ever since I started blogging. Seriously, being a blogger has changed my world - from a nerdy girl who had been sinking herself in academic books to an active girl who enjoys expressing herself in the blogosphere in whatever way.

Besides, I have made a bunch of good friends in the blogosphere in these two years of blogging. We read and comment each other blogs which unconsciously make us feel close. Some of us even met up in some blogger gatherings. I shall thank Nuffnang, one of the biggest Malaysia advertising company which never fails in organizing event for the bloggers. It allows me to interact with other bloggers during in the events. Thank.. :)

Last but not least, blogging allows me to enchance my creativity over my writing, photography and video editing skills. This is something I hardly get from my school or college.

Creative, positive and friendly. Creative, positive and friendly..I have to memorize that..lol. I've been reading your blog...yea you seems very active and outgoing, with your Halloween party, Nuffnang events, you are in every spotlights :). So..back to the question, since you mentioned Nuffnang..what do you think of 'Blogging For Money'?


Haha.. Well Rei, you don't have to remember that. Just remember Curryegg, will do.. Lolx...
:)

Talking about 'Blogging For Money', seriously, I do wish to make some extra income from my blog. Sadly, it doesn't happen till now. I guess, I haven't master the skill yet. Haha.. Anyway, I'm still enjoying myself even without ads like Nuffnang and Adsense because my main objective in blogging is to share my feeling, opinion and passion with readers. I love writing ever since I was a kids and I did keep a series of diary. Well, it is so yesterday and I am no longer writing in the old-fashion book. So, here I am in the blogville..

*wink*
*wink*


Talking about money...if you have 1 million by now, what would you do with the money?

Lol.. Do I sound like a money maker? Haha.. How I hope so... :P
Emm.. If I have 1 million dolar, firstly, I will stop my parents from working and take over the family. They are old now and I hope to take good care of them. Next, I wish to pursue my studies in oversea and then, build a clinic for my counseling session. Working as a professional counselor has always be my dream and I am achieving it. Keep my fingers crossed.. :)


You said blogging has changed you so much and sparked your creativity, and 2 years blogging is quite long time. Would you share with us 3 tips to achieve that consistency, I mean..I started blog way back in 2001, but gave up just after 1 post :).

Yes. Blogging did boost up my creativity especially in writing, photography, communicating and etc. It happens naturally. Believe it or not, it does help in my class assignment.

*smile broadly*

Talking about tips in achieving consistency in blogging, I am not sure whether my tips will help or not. So far, I believe in doing things that we love. Should I name this as passion? When we have the passion, indirectly we will have the motivation to blog. So pick those topics that you love and blog them. Or else, you will never enjoy the fun of blogging.

Besides, receiving and appreciating comments from the readers does motivate me to continue blogging. Comments or responses from the others make me feel more alive and I don't know why. Haha.. So I guess, having a good relationship between the writer and reader will improve the consistency in blogging.

Lastly, allow yourself to rest or go for a trip whenever you are facing writer's block. I believe we all face this problem some times.. Right? Therefore, there is no point forcing yourself to write when there is nothing to be shared. When the mind is ready, you know you will start rocking the blogosphere again!

:)



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh my.
I am really honoured. Can't wait for the next questions..
Thank you again for brighting my day. Right now, I am motivated to blog even more quality posts for you, my readers.. :)

Thank for everything from you..
*hugs*

:D

No No For STOP

Sometimes I wish to be some one else.

Someone who is more beautiful.
Someone who is more talented.
Someone who is better than who I am today.

Sometimes I wish to own more money.

Buy whatever I want.
Do whatever I can.
Fix whatever unfixable with cash.

Sometimes I wish to have super power

Help whoever I want.
Fly wherever I want (without AirAsia)
Play whatever I want to play.


I wonder, will my life be much better than now?
Yes. I wonder.

Shall I give up and pursue something I have never thought of? Something unreachable before this? I guess I will as long as I'm not spoiling myself and people around me. Wait, I don't mean gaining super power. I can't imagine myself being like superman, cat woman, iron man nor vampire. Uh.. I like Twilight!
:)

The road seems to be so long but I shall not give up until the end of my last breath. So are you my friend. Never give up until we shout the word:

STOP!!!

Great Time In Pavilion

Great time in Pavilion?
I thought you just said the place is suck???

Ok.
I mean the Xmas Tree, not the place. Lolx..
(Again, I purposely use the word 'Xmas' tree for its uniqueness)

Yes. I have heard quite a number of comments from my readers over the Pavilion's Xmas tree. Some agree it does look unattractive while the other disagree and think it is beautiful. Eiiks... Beautiful? I rather accept the answer as extra-ordinary or unique. HAha.. Yes. It is indeed very unique and has caught lot of attention. I think this is the main reason behind the tree, am I right?

:)


Last Friday, May and I went to Pavilion and saw an interesting scene. Guess what? The circus was coming to town! Oopss.. Did I just say circus? Haha.. I guess I miss Britney Spears. Lolx..

There was a group of entertainers including the beautiful models, crown, magician and hot guards! Haha... Fortunate enough, we managed to take a few photos with them. It must be our lucky day!





They are beautiful, aren't they?
Wish to dress like them for photo shooting.. lolx..
:)





On that same day, the Hong Kong artists will be there at 8pm and May and I were like.. "Wow! Should we wait for them?"


But we didn't.
Because both of us are afraid of big crowd. We don't want to be sandwich nor burger.
:P

So far, I like the design in Pavilion - luxurious..


Again, not the tree..
=_=


So far, we girls enjoy the Christmas decoration. But just a very small part of it. Sad...



I shall move to other shopping mall and look for the best decoration in this year of 2008. I want something ... em.. I don't know.. something snowy? christmasy?
Emmm...

Any nomination?

Why Oh Why Xmas Tree In Pavilion?

I don't know why but feel disappointed with the Xmas decoration in Pavilion this year. Why oh why? Blame me for my stupidity or being inartistic.

Whatever~

I just don't enjoy looking at this X'mas tree. Besides me, I did hear lot of complain from my friends and other bloggers. So, I guess I'm not the only weird one... This Xmas tree looks like a cake to me. Or maybe a cake which make by tissue paper? Emmmmm.... I wonder..




Why oh why?
Can anybody correct my view if I'm wrong? I do hope to leave a better impression on Pavilion's Xmas tree this year. Help?


P/s:
I purposely use the word 'Xmas' instead of 'Christmas' in order to show the uniqueness of the tree... :)

The Ultimate N96 Race

Couple of days ago, May and I had attended the Nokia N96 race in Kuala Lumpur. It was a result of winning the most wackiest post in Nuffnang and two lucky winners were selected to attend this 'amazing race' of Nokia. I am one of the winner and I'd invited my buddy, May to join the race with me.

Thank dear for spending your day with me.
*hugs*

So, we were there in Bon Ton before 8.30am. Seriously, we were too excited and couldn't sleep well the night before the race. We were not busy planning strategy to win the race (for a new N96 phone and 2 tickets to Phuket). Instead, we were worrying for not be able to reach the final line on time or worse, lost. Being Penang girls who have to explore KL roads are disadvantaging. And hard.

Yes.
Hard as in hard... :(

We reached there early and met up Soon Seng and Jolene. Happy meeting them and had breakfast together. They were the participants too or should I say, competitors??? Haha..


The representative of Nuffnang.... :P


Breakfast was provided - Nasi Lemak.
I was lucky to get an egg with double yolks. It must be my lucky day and it was.. :)




Before the race, there was a briefing on the do's and don'ts.


Each group was given a handbook. 5 tasks are stated in there and we had to complete all of them.


In the 1st task, we had to play one game in Virtual Holiday Arcade with a minimum requirement: complete 1 level of the game. One level? It must be either Street Fighter or Percussion Master.

I picked the Street Fighter and the whole process had been recorded. Trust me, you wouldn't know it was me if you were there. I looked like a complete different person. Oh my... :(

Next, we had to snap a few photos in Nokia center in Low Yat Plaza. Tough as we were running all the way.

Task 3 was so far the problematic one - Buy a CD with the artist whose name starts with the alphabet "N", or find a band whose name consist the word "Nine" or find a band which consist of 6 members or elements of the number "6".

We were required to visit the Speedy shop in Jalan Bukit Bintang. However, the shop wasn't open yet when we reached there. As a result, we had to move to the next task - look for Malaysia's famous handicraft centre in Jalan Conlay.

Seriously, May and I had never heard of any Jalan Conlay so far. We had to asked the people around that area for the road and at the same time following the map in Nokia N96.

I shall say we were lucky to be able to bump into KY and Ringo in Pavillion. We followed their footsteps (although KY took us the wrong road at first.. haha..). Anyway, we reached there safely and completed task 5 together.

Ringo's and Ky's back


Seriously, it was fun after that because May and I were enjoying the whole journey - like a tourists. Haha... We don't want to waste the 'togetherness moment' between me and may and we wanted to create a memorable Vines using my Nokia N96. So, we snap pictures and recorded a few video clips using both main camera and secondary camera while adventuring Kuala Lumpur. It's cool as it was like an 'Amazing Race!'.

Hahaha...









Oh ya. Did I mention about Task 5? We were asked to visit Standard Chartered building at Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. We have to randomly take photos of 5 people from the public who use Nokia device. That's mean we had to snap photos of those people who used Nokia phone. It was fun because.. emm.... we did a few trick there. HAha...

Shhhhh..... tak mau beritau.. :P

Soon, we went back to the Speedy shop and bought a CD of Nelly Furtado. May had to capture the whole process using N eggie.. :)


At about 12.05pm, we reached Bon Ton.



It was a 'sad moment' when I heard David Lian said....

"Why so late?"





Haha.
Ok la. It was not a sad moment. Just a funny moment of mine because... we were the very very late team. Kekkez... :D



Whatever it is, May and I were enjoying the 'we' moment and the whole Nokia N96 Race. That should be the main objective right? Haha..

So, this is the winner. Sorry Bryan. I can't win the handphone for you.... :(
Grab from them ya.....


Haha..
The lucky winners who win another N96 and 2 tickets to Phuket. Congratulation!


Some group pictures in Bon Ton before leaving.
Skyler and Wilson were there... :)

Wilson.. :)
The tiring look of us.. :)

Sweet girls... ^_^


We have made a bunch of new friends and that should be a beautiful memory of mine. Besides, this event has made me feel like the star of the day as every camera was spotting on us. Thank Nokia and thank Nuffnang. I am so happy.


P/s: Thank for making me run. Seriously, I need exercise as I am losing my stamina.. sad.. :(




My collection of video clips during in the event. Here are some of our tasks....
Enjoy the clips.. :)
