To 'Off', that is.

Earth Hour does not need any introduction. At 8:30pm on March 28, 2009, cities across the world will turn off their lights for just one hour--Earth Hour--to show that it is possible to take action on global warming. Switching off is a simple action that can make a difference and it sends a powerful message that the people of the world care about the future of the planet.

Iconic Malaysian landmarks such as KLCC Twin Towers, Penang Bridge, and KL Tower have confirmed its participation by turning off their non-essential lights for one hour. As you may know, Fly FM is in support of Earth Hour and had even gone "green" during the previous Campur Chart Goes Live At Laundry.

Some questions ran through my mind. Apart from "Will muggers come out to play for an hour?", How much awareness can be raised from such an energy efficiency campaign? Will we continue to pledge our support to fight global warming daily?

What are the small steps that you take to conserve energy? Feel free to drop me your comments.

All Media Prima Radio stations (Fly FM, Hot Fm, One Fm) will shut down for an hour at 8:30pm, March 28 pm. Be sure to check my Vblog on March 29 to see how it all come down right here at the Fly FM studio.

P/S: I'm doing the Earth Hour countdown on Fly FM. In a way, that is my contribution to this global campaign.

So what do you guys think?!!!!

Then of course, for my Hawaiian friends, Uplanders, and out-of-towners, you guys can listen to the English version of the radio ad and was aired on Fly FM, voiced by my fellow news and traffic presenter, Miss Alisha:

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share with you guys a clip of the voice over (VO) that i did in December 08. I know, i know it's a little out dated. But i'll try to upload my latest VO as soon as i can.

By the way, I record roughly around five VOs for Fly FM in a week, so what i'll try to do is i'll upload my best VO of the week on my blog for all of you to listen to, ok?

Cheers with no beers,
Moe Nasrul

Hey guys,

This is a backdated entry, but i had to wait for Aush to upload the photos to his Facebook. Thanks Aush!

M.A.C (the cosmetics, not Apple *lol*) approached me once again to be the emcee for their event. I emceed M.A.C FAFI launch in Mid Valley last year. I guessed they like me. That, or i'm charging too low. *Just kidding*

I can now look back at all these photos with good memories, but having to emcee the event for five days in a row, is agonizing. Don't get me wrong. I love what i do, but waking up at four a.m. to prep for my news and traffic report for the Pagi Show, doing air checks post-Pagi Show, meetings, and voice over recordings then rush off to emcee the event in Mid Valley for five days in a row can be tiring :).

Anyways, a little bit of info about the product and event. M.A.C relentlessly pursuit to combine their exciting new color with another popular icon. First, it was M.A.C and Barbie, then it was FAFI. Now, M.A.C cosmetics teamed up with Hello Kitty. The result? Hello Kitty Kouture. There's two range of MAC Hello Kitty products-- sweet and innocent Hello Kitty Mild and the out on the prowl Hello Kitty Wild.

Mild Kitty and Wild Kitty

Anyways, the launch (March 4th) was graced by local celebrities, designers, and VIPs. From March 5th to March 8th, complimentary make-up session were conducted by M.A.C make up artists, mini private function especially for Cleo and Cosmopolitan readers, appearances by the Mild and Wild Kitty, and M.A.C Hello Kitty balloons were given away to the public.

Can you imagine the power-that-be of Hello Kitty? Almost all of the Hello Kitty merchandise were sold out by the end of day two. Hundreds would queue up for the balloons. If they couldn't get a balloon today, they would come back and try their luck the next day. Children were getting squashed by inconsiderate adults *tsk tsk*. What's worst then adults squashing kids just to get a balloon, right? Smelling a lawsuit coming if the situation got uglier, velvet ropes were put up to indicate queuing area and balloon give-away session were scheduled.

If M.A.C is reading this entry, thanks for the opportunity...for two years in a row!

M.A.C Hello Kitty Official Launch

There was an event which i hosted two weeks ago.....

I'll post it up the soonest i can.

But here a sneak peak of what's coming up next on my blog :)

Shamrockin' Weekend @ Juru Autocity, Penang

Click on photo to enlarge

I've been looking forward to be merry and Irish. The Collin Farell in me been wanting to come out of the non-gay closet. So I head down to Penang for the much publicized, highly-anticipated event that was the first for Penangites.

I really had fun at the event. The carnival-like atmosphere certainly made the night more interesting. There were mechanical bulls, Guiness bars and food stalls. Although i was hoping that they would serve the famous bread and butter pudding or the blood pudding, that didn't make it to the buffett table for VIPs. The closest the food could get to being Irish was the mashed potatoes. But to be fair, there were Guiness-soaked skewed chicken (yes people....you can call it Satay) on sale to the public, but i was rather full from eating for free at the VIP area.

The event attracted a strong 5,000 revellers, despite the fact that there was a Liverpool-Man United football match. According to the PR exec from Grey, Penang crowd was more than the one in One Utama the night before.

This is Moe' O Nasrul....signing off :)

Flowering Frenzy in Penang

Click on photo to enlarge

My girlfriend Emily told me about how Penang feels like Japan this time of the year. It is not Sakura that is blossoming so abundantly in town. But from afar, the flowers do strike similar resemblance to the famed sakura (cherry blossom).

Like Sakura, these flowers bloom in mid-march. These flower bloom fast and wither just as fast. When it is in full bloom, you can hardly see the leaves. It's so beautiful i can't helped but to stop the car and started cam-whoring away.

Why I Love St. Patrick's Day

Do you guys like the new look of my website? It is just to reflect one of my favourite holidays.

I remember when i was in the States, St. Patrick's Day were celebrated by both the Irish immigrants and the locals alike, all with the spirit of concerted celebration of hope for better luck and fortune. There are huge St. Patrick's Day parades in certain parts of the States and the Chicago River is dyed green each year to commemorate the day. Malaysia has slowly catches up on the celebration where everyone is looking forward to be merry.

I also had the memories of celebrating this holiday with my friends from Uplands International School, Penang.

We're all finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow now, aren't we?
