Went over to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia over the weekend (Friday, 23rd March 2012 – Sunday, 25th March 2012) for my birthday celebration! Stayed at Piccolo Hotel located right in the heart of Bukit Bintang.

The location is fantastic, it is just in between Lot 10 Shopping Mall and Fahrenheit 88 and just 5 minutes walk from Pavilion. The price is pretty reasonable as well. Paid a total of MYR 566.08 (SGD$232) for 2 nights (SGD$116/night).

We took Jetstar there, paid a total of SGD$196 (return trip for 2) for the air tickets. We took the first flight out on Friday (7:05am) and the last flight back on Sunday (9:20pm). One thing I prefer Jetstar than AirAsia is that it lands in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) instead of Low Cost Carriage Terminal (LCCT) which is nearer and more convenient to the city.

Caught The Vow on the 2nd day and the movie is nice and touching and not forgetting it is based on a true story!

3rd day lunch was at Kim Gary! I always make it a point to go to Kim Gary when I am in Malaysia because the food taste the same at 1/2 the price when compared to Singapore!

Joined in the bandwagon and ordered my Facebook Name Cards from moo.com. The name cards (50 pieces) are free for the time being but you will need to pay for shipping. I paid USD$15.75 (SGD$20) for the shipping to Singapore. It takes about 2 weeks before you will receive it.

I kinda like the design of the box containing the name cards, very unique!

They even have separators/dividers (Mine & Theirs) in the box for you to place other people’s name card in it!

I did not change my Facebook’s Timeline Cover much and hence I only got 4 different cover images.

At the back of the name card, you can place a quote in it, I went to Google and found this nice quote, “You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”.

Those who played Street Fighter would know this! The Akuma‘s Raging Demon move which is:

Light Punch + Light Punch + Forward + Light Kick + Heavy Punch

Thanks to Benjamin for the lobang, I bought this Akuma’s Heavenly Combo T-Shirt from GameScore for SGD$25. I think GameScore is only earning a few dollars as SplitReason is selling the same t-shirt for USD$19.95 without shipping.

I didn’t really announced that I got married in Las Vegas when I was in US for holiday 2 months ago. I only posted it in my Facebook as it is more private than my Twitter.

It was not really a last minute decision. I proposed to Li Xiang while celebrating our 7th Anniversary at Klapsons Boutique Hotel on 22th October 2011. Li Xiang suggested to do something out of the ordinary which is to register our marriage in Las Vegas since we will be going there for holiday in 2 months time. We asked our parents and they did not object it and we went ahead as planned!

We got married on the 4th January 2012, chose Chapel Of The Flowers as our wedding venue and stayed at Caesars Palace.

There are only 2 of us and hence our witness was our photographer. Thanks to the live streaming provided by Chapel Of The Flower, our family members and friends who are back in Singapore could watch it live despite it is 5am in the morning in Singapore!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our family members and friends who woke up so early so that they can catch it live. A big thank you to all of you! And for those who sent us roses and gift certificates via Chapel Of The Flower’s website while watching the live stream, a even BIGGER thank you to you!

Back to the topic of this post, because I got married in Las Vegas and Nokia Connects (@Nokia_Connects) decides to send me this awesome and very creative wedding gift when they came down to Singapore for the Social Media Week (Nokia is one of the sponsors for Social Media Week). They even hand delivered it to my office!

Nokia Connects wanted this gift to remind me of my wedding in Las Vegas! And of course when you think of Las Vegas, you will think of Casino (Poker Set With Chips), Cirque du Soleil’s shows (The Illusionists Tickets) and Elvis/Elvis’s styled wedding (Elvis Sunglasses)!

On behalf of my wife (Li Xiang) and I, we would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Nokia Connects (@Nokia_Connects) for the awesome and creative wedding gift!

I will see you guys soon at Mobile World Congress 2012!

Today marks the full 2 years of working in mig33 and the start of my 3rd year with mig33. I just came back from mig33 Kopnas 2012 from Jakarta, Indonesia.

It is a yearly gathering of mig33 users in Indonesia. Kopnas is derived from the word “Kopi” (Coffee) and “Nasional” (National) which means a gathering for coffee.

The event starts at 9am till 8pm and is held at Plaza Barat Senayan, Jakarta, Indonesia.
