Not sure if you’ve read my past post regarding Petronas CNY event? I did mention that in line with its TVC as shown below, a photography contest themed ‘Reimagining Energy’, in collaboration with Leica Camera AG is also ongoing.

Here’s 4 extended version of the Chinese New Year TVC showcasing the casts from different countries coming home for CNY:

India

England

China

Malaysia

Back to the contest… Contestants have the chance to win exciting cash prizes and have their photographs exhibited at Galeri Petronas in KLCC. All YOU have to do is to submit snapshots of Chinese New Year celebrations that best portray the spirit of ‘Reimagining Energy’.

I had submitted mine! Did you spot it in the Petronas Photography Contest Facebook page? :p

The picture was actually taken during last year’s Chinese New Year, where I spotted a dragon dance troupe and I happen to have my camera with me. Took some snapshots here and there, who knew that I would be able to use one of the pictures I had taken for this Petronas CNY Photography contest? It suits the theme pretty well I’d say!

So, have you submitted yours?

“For centuries, mankind have migrated from one place to another, in hopes of finding better opportunities. But no matter where they are, or how far they have come in life, they will always come home. This Chinese New Year, let’s celebrate the virtues that bind us all together — the spirit of resilience, determination and adaptability in turning challenges into opportunities and seeing the positive in the negative.“

Among others, the stories revolve around a dentist in India celebrating the new year with his family in his home country via Skype, and a young woman forced to celebrate the festival while working two jobs to make ends meet in London.

The story of the young Chinese girl in London celebrates the Lunar New Year with the customers she serves, is arguably the most heart warming of the bunch! The feeling of ‘coming home’ to your loved ones on special occasions is like no other, as many who will be battling the horrific traffic to reach their respective destinations this upcoming holiday weekend can attest to. In that regard, ‘Coming Home’ encapsulates the very core of any holiday season which is the simple warmth of home.

Let me know what do you think of the commercial?

——

This Petronas commercial was actually being released during their launch event held in KLCC just few days ago.

Petronas Group Senior General Manager Corporate Affairs Division, Datuk Mohammad Medan Abdullah said this year’s commercial would bring a breath of fresh air into Petronas’ approach to the festive campaign.

“We have moved away from the narrative approach that we had adopted in our past commercials and this time, we want viewers to understand the underlying messages through visual poetry. TVC also incorporates the spirit of perseverance, adaptability and determination captured in each of the stories. This energy is something that should inspire us all as we navigate through life.“

Happy Chinese New Year & have a great holiday everyone!

Gong Hei Fatt Choi, Ang Pao Kia Lai! :p

Little did I know that TINGE is a mineral water, but with extra flavours! It comes with either Lemon of Fruit Fusion taste, so no more drinking boring plain water taste anymore. In fact, if you’re thinking it’s just another carbonated flavoured drink then you’re wrong. I thought so too, but found out that TINGE is non-carbonated, non-coloured, mildly sweetened mineral water drink! Now, this is the drink that all of you should start trying out now if you haven’t, simply exciting and trendy!

If that doesn’t brings up any interest for you to try out TINGE, here’s something…

Participate in the TINGE Save The Stars contest and stand a chance to win awesome prizes! They’re giving away THREE (3) Samsung Galaxy Tablet as well as SEVEN (7) Canon Ixus 115 HS as prizes!

All you need to do is to

1. Join Spritzer TINGE Facebook Page
2. Purchase and enjoy your bottle of TINGE
3. Try your luck in the TINGE Save The Stars flash game
4. Key in the serial number of your TINGE label (eg: 12345678)
5. Start saving stars! Lol.

Just try to save Gary or Shila by controlling their movements to help them escape the bouncing balls while gaining as many points as you can. Get to the top 10 highest scores, and you stand a chance to win a fabulous prize!

Contest ends on 4th December 2011, so hurry before it ends! Let me know what’s your score so that I can beat you hehe!

Do you think you have what it takes to be a hero in just 10 seconds? Lenovo, in conjunction with Microsoft Corporation is launched the EExtraordinary 10-Second Hero Contest in recognition of its Enhanced Experience 2.0 (EE 2.0) for Windows 7 program, which allows select Lenovo PCs to boot up in as little as 10 seconds. The contest calls on “doers” in countries around the world to submit 150 words explaining a good deed they or an organization they know of accomplished in 10 seconds. Lenovo will award $50,000 to a charity of choice based upon the person or organization who made the most significant impact in the same amount of time it takes to boot up a Lenovo PC with Enhanced Experience 2.0.

Consumers, ages 18 years and older can visit the contest site and submit a 150 word description of how they, an organization or someone they know has performed a good deed in 10 seconds or less. Twenty-four finalists from around the world will be selected by a panel of experts and featured on the contest website. The public will be invited to vote for its favourite submission on the contest website in mid-September with the grand prize winner announced at the end of the month. Lenovo will donate $50,000 to the grand prize winner’s charity of choice.

Now, are you kind enough to help a Malaysian win this global contest? M. Hilal A. Bakar has made it his personal prerogative to plant a tree every day and his minimum goal is to root down at least 365 trees in a whole year. However, he might not be able to achieve without our support for him to preserve our nature. Let’s vote for our fellow Malaysian, shall we?

1.  Visit http://lenovo.promo.eprize.com/hero
2.  Select your country (Pick Malaysia lah of course!)
3.  Go right to the last entry (page 5) and look for the entry titled ‘Planting 1 Tree Each Day Till I Pass Away’
4.   Click the LIKE button and post it on your FB wall?

AFTER you have done the four steps above, drop a comment here and I shall pick TWO winners at random for the Topshop / Miss Selfridge / Dorothy Perkins voucher (RM50 voucher x2); contest ends 5th October 2011!

Cheers!

In 1759, history was made when Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on the famous St. James’ Gate brewery in Dublin, Ireland.

So each year, we celebrate the life and legacy of Arthur Guinness and his brewing tradition. And what better way to celebrate great beer than with great friends and live music from some of the best artists of our time? Arthur Guinness Day brings people together in their local pubs, their cities and around the globe to share and toast the black stuff together.

Have you guys heard of the upcoming Lelong.my e-Commerce Fair (ECFair)? It is all about highlighting the E-Commerce community in Malaysia and at the same time to educate the consumers on the convenience, the available platforms / tools and the opportunities available on the Internet. E-Commerce has been around for quite some time but local consumers have generally been skeptical due to security and payment issues. Lelong.my aims to change this perception through this exciting event by bringing E-Commerce businesses from all over the country to right where the consumers are at a strategic location – the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre.

This first of its kind and the largest E-Commerce Fair in Malaysia will be held:

Lelong.My E-Commerce Fair (ECFair)
12 – 14th August 2011
11am – 9pm
Mid Valley Exhibition Centre (MVEC) – Hall 1 & 2

If you’re a consumer, this event allows you to experience what is it like to buy online by interacting with the various exhibitors in person. You’ll also get to learn of the various E-Commerce tools and platforms that can assist you in shopping online safely and conveniently.

If you’re a business owner, your business will be strategically placed and recognized among the 80,000 visitors we’re expecting! You’ll get to network with fellow industry leaders, expose your brand, educate the consumers and to even close deals with both consumers and businesses!

If you’re thinking of starting an online business, then this event will have all the resources you need! Whether it is web developers, E-Commerce Solution providers, E-Payment gateways or E-Marketing tools – they’ll all be there to assist you in your startup endeavors!

With over 240 booths at the exhibition, various exciting activities such as workshops, lucky draws, contest, free goodie bags and so on… Added on with the “Superbid of the Day” where you’ll get to live bid your favourite items auctioned on that day starting from RM1… I’m pretty sure the event would be worthwhile going, so do join the fair if you have nothing to do during that weekend!

Now, calling all bloggers out there! There is a blog contest for you to join…

Your Most Memorable Experience Buying Online, attach one of these images (Image 1 and Image 2) to your post and submit the URL of your published blog post in the form HERE with your contact details!
