17 May 2012, Gawai Mood with SHELL »»

I always choose Shell. Shell FuelSave 95 designed to help drivers save with every tank. I rather drive extra mile IF i know the next station is Shell.
(LOL... i agree..! That's definitely sounds like a kiss-up statement BUT it's true though! On my defends, IF my gas still with me i'll definitely look for Shell station)

Thanks again to Sarawak Bloggers for the opportunity.. So here i am at Shell station Jalan Semariang. Actually i'm after ONE thing but.. save it for last... (?´?`?)*??*

I've reach there around 3pm but it's still haven't started yet. Approached by friendly Ms. Yvonne Li - Regional Shell Representative, She explain a bit about the agenda and today event and make sure i am comfortable. *Yep, it's so hot! I'm sweating a river... LOL*

Anyways, in conjunction with Gawai Festival this coming 1st June – Shell with KFC and Pizza Hut jointly treat loyal customers with discounted set meal vouchers – a promotion to reward Sarawakian customers.

15 May 2012, Coloured Lens »»

Hello Lovelies!

You know how popular coloured lens get nowadays. It's abundant now unlike few years back where you have to purchase them online and they're seriously getting a lot cheaper than they used to be. Some even claimed their contact lens are able to last for a year which I believed at first, but realized 3 months is the maximum to wear the same pair of contact lens.

I got my eye infection again last month. It's like an epidemic. BF got it first, then my sister then me, my left eye to be specific. So I threw my 3 months old coloured lens away, stopped for awhile and bought a bottle of eye drop from the pharmacy. It got better and I started wearing my new pair of coloured lens. A few days later, my right eye got all itchy and red and hellllll yeah, the infection's back.

And you know what's worse, my sister showed me a blogger who tried to rub her coloured lens using a cotton bud and bloody hell, the colour came off and stained the cotton bud! She got hers for really cheap and I got mine very cheap as well from One Jaya, The Larti.

Dumbfounded by the blogpost, I decided to give it a try as well. Won't want to eliminate any chances that might hurt my eyes. So I took my lens which I decided not use anymore, stored in my casing soaked in with Multi Purpose Solution as usual and rub it off using a cotton bud with considerable amount of energy.

Lucky me! Nothing came off from this one, so I guess it's safe to buy it from One Jaya. But I never tried the ones selling at the stalls, so I'm not sure about their quality cause they're selling them at an even cheaper price.

So yeah, HUGE sigh of relief here. Just need to wait another 2 more weeks before I get my hands on contact lens again. This time, I'm going back to the clear ones first. Just a precaution, DO throw your contact lens away if you feel uncomfortable with them or suspect anything unusual. I won't want my iris to get stained with colours for sure! Hehe!

Bisou bisou~

15 May 2012, Vodafone: My experience »»

A little back story: The first few months we were with Vodafone was pretty ok, we didn't expect the fastest speed but it was faster than what we expected. The line, although not rock solid was pretty stable. It was only after their network upgrade (oh! the irony!) that we begun to face problems.

~*~*~*~*~

So there I was, connected to Vodafone Pocketwifi 2 with only one tab open in Google Chrome. I typed this in Notepad because the "webpage is not available". This happens all the time. If you're a uni student, like I am, and you're completely dependent on the web, like I am, please sign up with a different internet provider and save yourself the grief of being unble to connect to the internet.

A presentation which would usually take me a day or two at most to complete, took me one whole effin week because it takes forever to load one single page (imagine refreshing every 5 seconds because "webpage is not available" and when something finally does load, it takes half an hour)!!!

Sure, there are good days but they are spaced wide and far apart.

Anyway, I have complained to Vodafone's Twitter acc (welcome to the 21st century LOL) and the Vodafone service team have responded (quite quickly). They told me they are going to try and fix it. I appreciate that even though there were quite a few different people who responded to me, they took the time to refer to the previous tweets so I didn't have to keep repeating myself (therefore aggravating me even further), they were up to speed and professional (wish I could say the same for Student Housing Australia * will link the post once I publish it!). They said they will get back to me in 72 hours but duuuuude I only have 3 weeks left in my semester which means final essays! So in a fit of impatience, I called them up and asked for assistance in resolving the problem. Apparently, there is a tech team working on the problem which will contact me in 72 hours! D:

I think that their service team is very professional and good natured, I didn't even raise my voice (how I miss the good old days back home whereby you have to yell at the internet provider service team to get your internet up and running smoothy *sarcastic*) because they do try to assist you the best they can. My anger even dissipated with each passing moment I was on the phone. When I asked Jude (the guy who tried to help me resolve my problem) for some kind of reimbursement, he transferred me to another department (consultation department if I'm not mistaken?) while apologizing and thanking me and wishing I have a good day. Anyway, Avijit (the guy in the other department) apologized and was so understanding towards my situation and gave me & Lai 100% off our next Pocketwifi bill and told me he will help me resolve my problem (to my satisfaction) within the next two days (he accidentally said months and began to laugh and said it'll be horrible if I had to wait two months). I feel kinda bad for them because it's not their fault the company they work for has a faulty product.

The network was surprisingly stable for about 2 days? And everything went to the dogs again but I decided to give it a few more days for the connection to stabilize. The only somewhat stable connection I had recently was yesterday afternoon whereby I was connected to the internet for an hour? Sigh. I have just called them up today and the guy (didn't get his name) instructed me to do some technical stuff and the I'm connected to the internet again! :D I hope it stays fine, but I can't help but wonder: How long will this last?

15 May 2012, Borneo Jazz 2012 Part 2 »»

The jazz fever is still there, that's why I can't help myself to write about it.

Move on to the second part of the the Borneo Jazz post (continuation from the Part 1 post), even though the event has ended last Saturday but still my job hasn't finished yet. Basically, the event only held for three days, as the first day was only the opening night just for the invited guests while another two days for the show, and as Sarawak Blogger's representative all of us has managed to covered up all three days of event.

Chung Hwa Miri Marching Band
(By the way, the third wristband color was orange, my fav and I LOVE IT)

On the second day of the show, it has been warmed up the marching band from Chung Hwa Miri Marching Band. We have been signed up to do the cover up for their performances and indeed they has made a very lovely evening. I didn't know that the marching band would be that much fun to watch because like what Eileen (@LadyBirdMollyz) has tweeted during the performance:

"Uhh they're wavin and dancin too,I likedd..thot marching band performances are static,boyy I was wrong ;p #borneojazz"

If there's a LIKE button on twitter, I would like to hit the button on Eileen's tweet like +9999∞ times. I also found a video on their performance which has been uploaded by Sarawak Tourism and you also can browse some other performances during the Borneo Jazz in their Sarawak Tourism channels on YouTube.

Same as the night before, the performance also has been performed by four different performers. The first performer of the night was the Tropic Green from Singapore. Among all the musicians from Tropic Green, the one that I remember the most was Hiro, the bassist. Well, it's a normal for a woman to be attracted with a very nice looking (especially the goatee) guy playing a bass guitar and became the center of attention among all girls during the night. Like seriously, my camera can't stop snapping pictures of him, because it is not easy for me to get attracted with musicians especially when it comes to the guitarist or bassist. I love instruments like piano or cello, (even though I didn't know how to play both) and I love pianist the most, such as Ludwig Van Beethoven, Maksim, Art Tatum, Jon Schmidt (my favorite) etc.

Tropic Green
Hiro was using his spec, makes me hard to see his face, then Abg Joe tweeted to me that
"@orend3vil89 munnya julin bok ko tauk! Hahaha! @reyanna13 @LadyBirdMollyz"
Oh, that statement makes me 'patah seribu' if it is real, but surprisingly, he's not juling except that he's too sepet and makes me like him so much! XD

Then followed by the second performance by Tangora (France). She was a very charming and dazzling lady as she sang wondrously that will makes your heart moved with her music. Some of the audiences also dancing energetically on the floor while listening to her songs.

Tangora

Before the performance, Abg Joe (@AdjayMAGIC) and I were hanging out at the Media Centre room for charging up our phones, and suddenly he wanted to make a mini tweetup among Mirians who were currently following the Borneo Jazz hash-tag on twitter (#BorneoJazz). Then, we decided to gather up after the Tangora's show and yes, we did it!

Other than that, I also met my ex-coursemate from UNIMAS, Salihin (@SalihinSaat) at the show, it was like a mini reunion for us as well. He fly from Kuching to Miri on that evening just to celebrate Mother's Day and Borneo Jazz (before that he always whining on twitter for not able to come to the show..hahaha) and he came with his so called 'Jason Mraz' look (LOL!. JK!). So, there are eight of us who have met during the mini tweetup:

- @AdjayMAGIC

- @LadyBirdMollyz

- @mikeluYL

- @mcdrewnis

- @orend3vil89

- @reyanna13

- @shery303

- @SalihinSaat

- @beatriceluma (not present during the gathering, because she's reading the tweet two hours after the meet-up)

Mirian's Mini Tweet Up

Back to the third performance, was the Schalk Joubert's 3 Continents Sextet. Yes, they performed again after the opening night. They never failed me with their performance because the ladies who played the brass instruments so ~~damn~~ good as I was indulging with their music very much.

Schalk Joubert's 3 Continents Sextet

Afterwards was the Koh Mr Saxman and Takashi Band from Thailand. They also bring a special guest, Betty and she's singing for the band. Honestly, I didn't saw much during their performance because my stomach has started to growling and it keeps telling me to go for the supper (as it has suffer too much before the performance). Then, we came back for the final or closing performance by all of them (except some of the band from the first show).

Koh Mr Saxman and Takashi Band + Betty

The show ended around 1 am and all of us able to get a picture together. Overall, it was very exciting and a wonderful experiences for me to join this event. It was just a luck for me to won the media pass from Sarawak Blogger and also Sarawak Tourism Board, a huge thank you for both and I hope that more interesting event will come after this.

Final performance

Not forgotten, thanks to Takao Fujioka (@jazgra) for giving me a Japanese one yen coin. After that night, I'm so regret because I didn't ever think to have the performers autograph, but it's okay because...

"every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end". - Semisonic- Closing time

Hope that one day, I shall meet them again. Till then...
