Wanna win RM100 Topshop / Miss Selfridge / Dorothy Perkins voucher? Read on below…

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!

What is Arthur’s Day?

In 1759, history was made when Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on the famous St. James’ Gate brewery in Dublin, Ireland. Thanks to Arthur, people everywhere have been enjoying the world’s most famous beer for more than 250 years. 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.

In Malaysia…

We celebrate Arthur’s Day as a huge yearly event with international headline acts performing at our shore. In 2009, we had the Black Eyed Peas and other international artistes. In 2010, we had the likes of Timbaland, Sean Kingston, Flo Rida and more. This year, Taio Cruz will be headlining Arthur’s Day 2011 celebration here in Kuala Lumpur!

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…
