Giveaways

Does anyone wants a... LinKin Park live in Texas poster? it's F.O.C. I thought I'd keep it up on my wall but it makes the room look so horibble. Pardon me, I'm absolutely no fan of Linkin park. I tried listening to their singles album, Faint, and yes I almost FAINTED! It disturbs me a lot. I believe its important to keep a positive look in your house and feed your mind with good thoughts and music! Many says Linkin park is unique by their lyrics but I don't get interested in the lyrics when the music is already horrible enough! Linkin park METEORA promotional erm.....cardboard? F.O.C I've no idea what is this for but someone just stashed it onto me while working. There are also other cds I don't want but no harm keeping. Just in case I have a party or something I can play 'em. Lisa's helping me setup MovableType. So helpful of her! But we're still waiting for Emii's reply regarding the perl path of yagami.org Seing doctor tomorrow morning and I've to skip my dimensional design class. I hope I make it back for drawing class. BTW, I once wanted to study in The One Academy but chose MSC International in the end. Now I realise my ex-crush is in The One Academy! hahahahaha!!! oh what the heck......

Astro Family Day

I'm SOOOOO exhausted! This is a rather looong weekend. On Saturday morning, Elena and I went to the Astro family day. Had lots of fun helping out at the xfresh booth. Our job was very easy. All we had to do was get teenagers aged 13-19 to complete a survey and give them a goodie pack each. What's in the goodie pack? A Michael Buble(pronounced as Boo Blay) flyer, a clean & clear oil & dirt removing wipes pack, a sample clean & clear cleanser, an xfresh notepad, a free cd of your choice, and a poster of your choice. FYI, one of the many posters was Linkin Park!! heh heh! everyone wanted that but I think Shaz only gave out some and we all thought its finished but when we packed up I found another 2 extra under the table! hehehe! I got myself one. That lasted for 6 hours but to me, it felt like only 1 hour! I just love doing this kinda marketing stuffs esp. giving people freebies! Shaz was very generous that as a sign of gratitude, he gave us a goodie pack each to take home. But our goodie pack is no ordinary goodie pack you find anywhere. Let me just list down the items he gave me alone. There were 5 volunteers yesterday. 1. Natural, Keep it Natural. Casette. 2. Michael Buble, How can you mend a broken heart. CD 3. Annie Lennox, Into the west. CD 4. Jewel, Intuition. CD 5. Westlife, Turnaround. Bonus karaoke CD 6. Britney Spears, Me against music. CD 7. Sean Paul, Get Busy. singles CD 8. Linkin Park, faint. singles CD 9. Missy Elliott, Pass that dutch. singles CD 10. Mis-Teeq, Scandalous. CD 11. Michelle Branch, Breathe. CD 12. Sugar Ray, Is she really going out with him? singles CD 13. P.O.D, Will you. CD 14. Seal, Get it together. CD 15. Hayley Westena, Pure. CD 16. Machi CD and VCD. 17. e-games combo pack 18. 4 packs of Clean & Clean Deep Action Cleanser. 19. 4 packs of Clean & Clear Oil & Dirt removing wipes. 20. 4 xfresh notepads. 21. 2 xfresh pocket organisers, 22. a photoframe. 23. Westlife postcards 24. Stickers 25. and the Linkin Park poster I took. (should've taken more) After all these while I've always wondered how xfresh sustain financially apart from Astro and where they get all the gifts to give the contest winners. But when Shaz let us choose any CD we want yesterday, I couldn't believe my eyes when he showed us the amount of free gifts they have in storage! According to Elena, xfresh receives new stocks every week. I even joked that XFresh is turning into an advertising company rather than a teen community. Now I feel a little guilty cuz I think the things xfresh gave me in return for 6 hours work is worth more than RM600 at least! Elena's pack is slighty different from mine and the things I want that she has and I don't is Westlife's Turnaround CD and Gareth Gates latest album. We both really wanted Josh Groban but too bad they don't have it. At around 5pm we came back to Elena's house cuz she had an open house that night and Alicia, Phoebe, Kenrick and myself was invited. We had malaccan laksa and played true or dare the rest of the time. The game was fun but now come to think about it, it's kinda stupid. I overnighted in Elena's house last night and this afternoon we took the train to Gombak to attend Stephanie's open house. Shaz, Trent, Ed, Elena and myself were the xfreshers who attended and the rest were her schoolmates and other friends. Ed was helping Stephanie maintain her PC whie Elena and I were busy reading palms for free. It was rather interesting being able to read different people and its all for myself to know. At 7pm, we took the train back to Subang, had dinner and here I am blogging about everything. I'm so exhausted I've no idea when I'll finish listening to these cds.
