Cable Car Rides!

If you have read my previous post, you will know that i have pledged to fulfill the wish of an orphan boy from Sri Aman to ride the cable car in Genting Highlands. I spoke to my manager Julian Lee and we concur that we should try to go that extra distance beyond my original pledge!

My original pledge to the TLC "Promise Me" Campaign is to take the orphan boy (I would like to disclose the name of my beneficiary, but before i get any 'go-ahead' from the orphanage, further details will be disclosed in my future post. As for now, let us call my beneficiary Adik) to ride the cable car in Genting Highlands.

Let's go beyond Adik's innocent wish of soaring 6,000 feet above sea level. Let's bring Adik for a day tour of Genting Highlands and be amazed at the magnificent mountainview and the rainforest scenery. And how about seeing Adik's face flush with happiness after riding the many attraction of the indoor and outdoor theme park Genting Highland is famous for?

I would like to involve the participation of my network of friends and family to share in this pledge. Together we can soon see how easy it is to make a huge difference.

Coming soon: How to Donate.

TLC "Promise Me" Campaign

Truly Loving Compay (TLC) Promise Me campaign. Pledgers thrive to fulfill wishes from those in need.

Although it had been a busy September, I'm ushering in October steadfastly. I have good good good news to share with you guys.

I received good news Jonathan Teoh from the TLC "Promise Me" campaign, asking me whether i would like to pledge myself to fulfill the wish of a child from the Sri Aman orphanage. I said "yes" without hesitation.

The kid's wish was simple--to ride the cable car at Genting Highlands. All i have to do is just bring the kid to Genting Highlands and ride the cable car. It touches my heart because this kid, who could wish for almost everything in the world, is so selfless that all he wanted is to ride the cable car.

My play date with the kid is set on this October 23rd :)

I'm so psyched! The last time i did charity project was  in 2008 where a group of my closest friends collected donations, clothes, and food for St. Joseph Children's Home in Penang and spent a sunday there.

Let's play limbo. That's me at the foreground wearing a stripe shirt.

My friend, Alex thought the kids to play paintball.This game  proved to be a crowd puller as the kids were eager to test their aim and play 'Counter Strike".

All of us before we bid goodbyes :(

Raya, The website and Future wedding plans.

  That's right I have finally completed a whole list of to do's. why is this such an achievement? well considering that getting back into top gear after a major holiday such as Hari Raya or Eid ul-Fitri takes great will and discipline. I was so tempted to just laze around and... eat. Oh my waste line, oh!

First and foremost, my fiancee and I have started planning for our wedding which would take place next year. To be frankly honest, I enjoyed it! I mean I guess guys are brainwashed into thinking that planning for your wedding is this torturous affair but nothing felt so right for me. I mean I guess my years in the world of entertainment and events made planning my wedding just a little easier because I knew where to look for certain things like decorations, tents, venues, etc. I guess the pain for other men come from a Bridezilla type fiancee... If that is the case I would like to thank my dearest Boo for not being such a Bridezilla and making the wedding planning process a dream. I mean I feel like I'm getting my dream wedding too! Ok... I realise how that sounds... oh heck bring on the tutu and pink glittered wand!

Thirdly, I have registered a domain name and bought hosting services for my band the velvet aces. I have also put together a team of people to help me build the website and soon it would be up and running. If your wondering the website is www.thevelvetaces.com . It's currently under construction now so when you go there all you'll see is the bands cool logo and a short sincere, personally letter from me saying that the site is under construction. Yup as you can tell I am involved every step of the way and I am going to make the website as personal as possible, no air of "I'm a celebrity, get me outta here!" attitude.

Click!!!!

What's next on my to do list? hmmmmm, let me see...I'm writing a musical...Shhhhhhhh it's our little secret :D

Logo for The Velvet Aces

  I Realised that the band needed a simpler logo to be used for our profile that we were planning to send out to event organizers and I had once again burned the midnight oil to produce a simpler logo.


If you were curious what the logo looks like now, feel free to star at it's wonder below.

The Original Design

The Second Evolution

The Final One

A thank you to Angela and band website options :)

  I would like to start of this blog by saying thanks Angela for her comment on my previous post about how to solve my little Myspace background problem :)

Gotta love the internet and the people on it :)

I have yet to implement what she suggested doing which was to design a logo or design then tile it. This would solve the problem of the pixelated background effect the new Myspace profile is doing to my nicely designed background.

If your wondering what it's supposed to look like you can log on to my band's twitter page at www.twitter.com/thevelvetaces

or you can view it here hehehehe :D

Further more I'm currently looking for away to build my band website. At the moment I'm considering two options which was to purchase the domain name, hosting and use wordpress to build my website.

My second option is to go on bandzoogle.com and create my band website. I've been thinking about this for over a week now and the reason being that bandzoogle.com is an all in one website creater for bands. It has a merchandising store where people can buy your music and merchadises via credit card or paypal, a free domain name and hosting, it allows you to make custom e-mail addresses, and it gives a billion and one things to manage your fanbase. The catch is that you gotta pay a monthly subscription of $9 to $19, which is roughly RM50 to RM60 a month.

Alot to consider. Maybe I'll try bandzoogle's 30 day trial and let you guys know :D

P.s. Thanks again Angela :) I'll post up my progress :)

and feel free to like my band page on facebook :D
