LCCT – SkyBus @ 1Utama!

saimatkong — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 11:42:33 +0000

Last week, on Friday went to Bintulu for a friend’s wedding. My AirAsia flight to Bintulu was at 7.30am, 17th December, and thought want to catch SkyBus to LCCT @ 4.45am, 1Utama since it’s nearer to my house. I have done an email enquiry about the ticket purchase and re-confirm whether there’s bus @ 4.45am as stated in the SkyBus website.

The reason I email them is because I scare if there’s some changes on the schedule or something just to make myself more confident so that I will not miss my flight.

To my horror, I waited at 1Utama SkyBus Ticket Counter from 4.15am till 5.10am but there’s no sign of bus coming nor there’s any one at the ticket booth, it’s not even open!

There’s a number of people waiting for the SkyBus to LCCT too. Most of us was already impatient as we got to catch our flight if any delay we might miss flight!

There’s a bus schedule at the ticket counter and I tried to contact the number on the leaflet but no response…

Finally a guy who in charged the ticket counter told us that the bus was broke down when we questioned him why there’s no bus??? No choice but I have to share taxi with 2 other guys who’s also heading to LCCT, one of them is the pilot and another one is AirAsia crew.

As this is service oriented business, at least the service must up to the standard and if there’s any delay or bus break down do ensure there’s some notice or at least someone there to inform us then we could make other plan instead. I’m very disappointed with that because that was my 1st experience with SkyBus @ 1Utama. Some of us missed our flight because of that and all our schedule was not in plan anymore.

Will not take the SkyBus anymore as I don’t want to screw up my travel again!

Update from Chris, CEO of SkyBus

He had apologized on behalf and it’s good that they take it seriously and called me personally and offered me free skybus ticket. I will give it another chance. Hope the company will keep it promise and do not disappoint others that use skybus!

Chinese New Year Deco @ 1Utama Shopping Complex

saimatkong — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 04:09:48 +0000

Have you check out Chinese New Year Decoration @ 1Utama Shopping Complex? This year they use the “招财猫” (Lucky Cat) instead of Tiger theme which you will normally see in almost all other shopping complex. The funny thing is there’s a mole on the Cat. Haha. Nice?

See different “招财猫” (Lucky Cat) got different side of mole… haha.

Lion Dance Performance by Thailand group @ 1U last week.

This is at the New Wing Oval, but at 1Utama Old Wing, there’s nothing much just a small stage with the word “虎” (Tiger).

1Utama Old Wing not so happening now compared to the New Wing.

Wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day! Gong Hei FATT Choi!!!

DIGI Internet Pimp My Day Challenge – Team Pimpky

saimatkong — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:12:20 +0000

Digi just pimped up our day with fun filled exciting, exhausting, brain twisting, nerve wrecking activities. They even mentioned that we are UNLIKELY to finish all challenges in time huh? Yes! Team Pimpky did it! We have completed all the tasks assigned, woo hoo! Super excited and exhausted! I sudah tak da energy la! Half dead. But the Male Emcee of the day really awesome, he has so much energy and quite an entertainer! (but most of the time like syiok sendiri more. haha, but seriously good job!)

We are team number 4! Although in Chinese it’s not good la… “sei sei seng” sound not good but indeed we won ourselves something… read on to know more!

But never mind see we prepared ourselves for all the challenge and tasks to be completed.

1st we get registered and get a Digi Modem and that’s the only source that we could depends on for the entire day to do the uploading of videos, photo tagging to facebook and update the blog. Then there’s a briefing given to all of us before the Pimp My Day Challenge start, and each group was given a piece of tasks list with hints / clues of places that we need to go and look for the Digi crews then we need to accomplish the tasks.

Actually I was pretty comfortable as this challenge is based in 1Utama and I’m one of the frequent shopper since the 1st day of 1Utama open for business and I go there almost once a week, so do you think it will be a challenge for us? Haha… No! Not at all! =p

1st Challenge – It’s A Hit! Batting Cages. It’s a home run!

Of all the challenges, we went for some balls hitting challenge because we thought not much ppl will get there and we want to be the 1st there? Haha. But, there’s always a butt, this place took us run around the whole mall because I was mistaken to use another lift and end up when we reach the batting cage there was few teams ahead of us.

Each of the team member needs to hit off as many balls as we can out of 15 balls. I hit the edge of the yellow Digi board hung at the end of the cage but too bad it was not counted if not I could win myself some gift / prize?? Anyway it was a good experience hitting a ball after so many years which I last played was in secondary school.

2nd Challenge – One o’clock, Tqo o’clock, Three o’clock…ROCK!

Our next challenge is exploring music with Free music download from DiGi Music Portal Services. There it took us sometime to figure out how to create a playlist and add two required songs (Akon and Lady Gaga’s) to the playlist. Maybe we should explore more on the portal.

3rd Challenge– Lights, Camera, Action!

We were given 30secs to produce a short commercial ads for Swatch and Digi Broadband. So all of us suddenly become director and we came out with a simple storyline and started to record it without any rehearsal and preparation. Do it right!~

Haha it’s a funny ads I would say but too bad didn’t win anything out of it. Watch it yourself, see we just use cheapo camera and tripod only, if it’s good maybe you would consider hiring us to be the talent of your next ads, perhaps?

4th Challenge – So you think you can dance?

Haha seriously we couldn’t dance and all we did were… can’t find a word to describe, watch the video and you will find out. Haha. Must check out coz it’s a pole dancing and yes we dance and climb up the pole! =p

5th Challenge – Now The Net Lives On Your Phone!

We get to watch a short clips streamed thru youtube using Nokia N97 connected to Digi Turbo 3G. We were almost squeezing all the juices out of our brains trying to figure out the answer for the riddle for this task at Rainforest. The question itself is brain teasing enough, it’s all numbers!

All the hints, photos clues is actually showed at the streaming video from Youtube. I was telling my team mate just hentam, “Broadband Done Right”, but true enough that’s the answer but we take too long as we discussing there and was trying to break the code. lol.

6th Challenge – Bull Eye

haha… See it’s damn easy challenge as I close my eye also can aim and nearly got the highest score, 700!

Check out the video on how Emeryn learn to blow! Haha. Good blow job! At least contributed some points there. =p

7th Challenge – Likely Average Speed

The earlier activities have left us tired and exhausted as we run from old wing to new wing and Ground Floor to 5th Floor and back to Lower Ground. Phew. Each of us had to run 800 meters, yes luckily only 800 meters, and the average speed will be counted.

As I’m the unhealthiest blogger, I almost fainted after completed this challenge, but luckily there’s a last one to complete before we could get back to Mardi Grass for the final uploding and blogging.

Look at our face… all like half dead la…

Final Challenge – Super Model You

The final challenge was we need to pose and shoot for QuicksSlver printed ads. We just need to pick any of the clothes available and pose and shoot and upload to facebook. The photo submission is judged based on creativity. We won!!! Look, am I sexy here? Haha. This creative photo got us RM300 QuikSilver/Roxy vouchers. Thank you!

After completed all the challenges we headed back to MardiGras. Phew! We manage to finished all on time. It was 5.50pm before 6pm!

Once we reached to MardiGras we are required to blogpost whatever we’ve done and upload all the videos that needed and submit it in an hour. We all struggled to do everything we could but it was announced later that the submission time was postponed to Sunday midnight. There was a congestion problem as most of us couldn’t upload the videos and update the blogpost due to the huge crowd.

Each challenge has a winner for it and we are lucky to be the winner of Super Model! Nice kan? Haha. The grand winner, runner up and 1st runner up yet to be announced! Will it be Team Pimpky? Please support us! =p

Check out our Team Pimpky Challenge Video which will sure leave some memory to us and Digi War Cry which did not get us any prize =(

See you in the next challenge! =)
