My Nuffnang Story

Hey, how ya doing? ^__^ I can't stop a grin on my face when every time I talk about Nuffnang.
I don't exactly remember when did I joined Nuffnang, but it is definitely a long way during these 2-3 years time. I first found out Nuffnang on some famous blogger's blog advertisement section. I was already blogging that time but I was "humble" enough to think that I am not eligible to join since I have so little visitors and I was only blogging about private stuff. So I share it to my closer friends that have higher visit, maybe they can earn some pennies from there.Later, the friend pulls me in to Nuffnang too, explaining the benefit to me. My 1st event/competition/ticket I won from Nuffnang was a pair of Urbanscape passes, and later more to come.


I didn't expect Nuffnang is not only a advertising company but also a community that gathers bloggers for fun activities such movie screening, outing, event, launching food sharing etc etc....Well, I can't deny that most bloggers that join Nuffnang for the penny (caching on the end of every month yo!). I don't judge yourguys on that but Nuffnang is so much more than just money. It's a community that bring you friends, opportunity, knowledge, fun, excitement, prices and food~~~~


No point to just keep lecturing or preaching, let me show (more like show off) you how my Nuffnang journey was so far.

Recently, before my semester starts, I attending some food related event (LOL Imma food blogger, food always comes 1st, unless I finally decided to diet which fails 193484 times already). One of my favorite would be the Digi Buka Puasa event by Digi and Nuffnang at The Bee, Jaya One.
The Bee
Not only we are served with yummylicious foods and treats(say YAY to desserts!)


The Bee Avocado CHicken Burger
we are also given chance to interact with each other.
HTC Sensation
The best part, I won (cough) a review opportunity of HTC Sensation for 2 weeks (only).

The next best thing I had never imagine in my life is to dine in my 1st Malay fine dining restaurant (to be honest, my 1st fine dining experience ever >.<), Enak Kuala Lumpur, Starhill Galery.

Although we were not totally for that fine dining thing with all the rules and unnecessary b*ll sh*t stuff but some casual buffet dinner, I was totally a happy girl that night.

Made a few friend, entertain by the games, learn some new tech stuff etc. Thanks to Samsung for the Samsung Buka Puasa Event ^__^


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


All these didn't happen because I am popular which I am really not. Those event that I got invited dated back to the days when I was still shy and new to Nuffnang. Note that the photo size was smaller to fitted on my previous blog layout and the watermark,Y^2 was different too. That's how you tell how old my blog's age is >.<
Photobucket
This was my 1st food sharing session with Nuffies and blogger in Frames Cafe, Sunway Pyramid.
Photobucket
The best part of the night wasn't on food some how... Well, the quality of the food was uneven though that got some very good side dish indeed XD. The food sharing session was mainly on making friends getting to know them better especially some celebrity blogger like Cheesie, Xiaxue (Wendy), Audrey and Cindy.

Put aside my favorite thing in this whole wide world, Nuffnang also arrange some interesting events. One of the most luxurious event I ever attended was Digi Done Right camp.
Digi Done right Camp
Sponsored by Digi and conducted by U2Kumar, the most expensive part wasn't the 5 meals perday or the accomodation but the instructor itself.
positive words
I was told that, U2Kumar course cost RM8k per person.
Man, are you serious? Even if we were doing the compact, intensified short course, if we were charged half the price, it is still lotsss of money >.<

But spending money on us id different than giving money to us! Although I am not a famous blogger than get thousands of view per-day I still get a chance to do some advertorial for Nuffnang's client.
Photobucket
One of it would be the Xpax KOLONY

and Tune Talk Prepaid. Compare to some celebrity blogger than earn thousand per month, this is just nothing compare to them. Thanks to Nuffnang, you let me feel like a celebrity blogger for once *light shines on me*

On all of the event offers by Nuffnang, none of the other quantity can beat movie screening!
Just o name a few:

Brides Maids

Narnia, The Voyage of The Dawn Treader 3D etc etc...
During these movie screening, I meet up some friends and had lovely pre-event meals together to interact with them. By watching these premier movie screening before the cinema is showing, I actually get the write the movie review earlier than other people and would get a high hits due to it because nobody knows about the movie yet.

Like I mention earlier, most blogger enroll in Nuffnang just because of money. This mentality makes them miss more things that they ever know, like friendship, cool events, food, movies, and even prices!
Nina Ricci perfume

Well, that's my story(well, part of it) on Nuffnang, whats yours?

Foot Note:

My Penang Diary 8: Penang Traditional Cendol at Lebuh Keng Kwee

I always thought only Melaka has the best Cendol but I think many people will deny. I know Melaka and Singapore has Peranakan but I didn't Penang has it too!


During my intership in Kulim, I travel to Penang very frequently. The main reason of course it's because of my job. The 2nd reason is the food + hang out with friends ^.^
Cendol Lebuh Keng Kwee




View Larger Map


Located at Lebuh Keng Kwee, it is actually an alley that is quite confusing @.@
Cendol Lebuh Keng Kwee
When you drive to the one way main road at Jalan Penang, you will see this road sign above. But Lebuh Keng Kwee isn't the pedestrian walk way >.< you have to turn left to go into the alley.


Once you turn in, you will see this:
Cendol Lebuh Keng Kwee
Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul

Cendol Lebuh Keng Kwee
I don't know how famous or how good is it but apparently, even the famous Phua Chu Kang (Grumit Singh) and Rosie (Irene Ang) have visited this stall too..
According to my friends that take me here, she said this stall has some history in Jalan Penang. One of the most traditional Cendul in Penang.

Cendol Lebuh Keng Kwee
When you are in Penang, remember to check it out and tell me whether you like it? ^.^


My Penang Diary 5: Straits Quay

I once said/tweet: If I have to recommend some place in Penang, it must be Straits Quay." Oh God, I missed this place a lot! I have visited Starits Quay for a few time and each time gives me different memory.

Entrance of Straits Quay Mall

Straits Quay
Behind the mall, it's a Ford where you can see clear sky at day time

and romantic night view when sun sets.

Straits Quay
Th building has a very strong Victorian architectural characteristics.

But along the ford, the canopy give you illusion as in you are strolling on the sandy beach.


Straits Quay
At night time, it's a different story. Bar and lounge along the sea side become a chilling place.


Straits Quay
The leisure atmosphere is nothing compare to the busy town.


Here are more photos in Straits Quay, Enjoy! ^.^

DiGi Presents the HTC Sensation [HTC Sensation Review]

The Bee Avocado CHicken Burger
If you have been following my blog for some time, you must have know that I won myself a 2 weeks review of HTC Sensation earlier last month on the Digi Buka Puasa Event in The Bee, Jaya One.


Of course, really appreciate the chance of the review, non of these happen if it wasn't Nuffnang, Digi and HTC.
HTC Sensation
Like what I mention in my earlier post about the HTC Sensation Review, the sensation is a combination of fun and easy connecting device plus a more than usual quality camera. You can connect with your friends and family (even strangers too =.=) any where in the world, sending them message, share pictures, voice or video calls. However, non of this can happen without a marvelous telco provider that can "follow" you whether you are call in local or roaming from overseas.


To be honest, I am a Digi user since I own my first phone. I have since then "stick" to Digi because no other prepaid or postpaid plan from other telco can suits me more well than I personally know. Digi's forever updated features and attractive plan really shine in the comparison table.

Everybody knows I am a huge Android fan. I think Digi thinks the same too, that why they recently introduce a Smart Plan that help you (I mean me XD) to own a HTC Sensation without burning a hole in your (my) pocket!

Ranging from RM1149 and above, Digi now offers you (me) with a all-in-one Internet and Call plan plus cheaper phone! How cool is that?!

Photobucket
Afraid of commitments? No worried, you can choose to sign up for either 1 or 2 year plan. If you are still not satisfy with the price, fred not, HTC Sensation Digi Smart Plan offers Easy Payment with just installments as low as RM119.95 per month (click on the picture above for more information), so hows that sound to you har? XD

Photobucket
(For more information about the DG Smart Plan 48 and DG Smart Plan 68, please click the image above)


That's no the best part yet!
Photobucket
The best part is, with HTC Sensation feature's, USB tethering and internet pass-through, you can actually share the connection with your other devices, namely laptops or PCs.

Look in this way, 2 devices, 1 internet connection, 1 bill at the end of the month, isn't that alluring enough?

If you subscribe your internet connection specially for your PC, either it has Wifi or not, you can't bring it to any where just like you bring your phone. But with Digi HTC Sensation Smart plan, you are bring your internet connection whenever and wherever go you (literally with your phone) and plug it into any devices as you wish to share the internet connection via USB tethering or Wifi Hotshpot.


I wanna control but I really can't resit to say this:
Digi Always the Smarter Choice!

Ysquare Photoblog 24: So whos' more stupid now, Siri or Sam?

Photobucket
I know I have not update my blog very frequently , either here or dygadget..
I have so many thing to share yet I am bond by my studies and extreme expectation from my final year project's supervisor.
But I do know how to entertain myself. Siri has been a viral discussion among tech geeks like us, but who knows, my Android phone has such a similar stupid assistance as well.

Hint: Go to Android market and search speaktoit.
