It’s blog day today and the below are the blogs that I read, occasionally (I rarely read, I just watch Gossip Girl on Sohu TV). But when I do check out some blogs, I sometimes come to these, because of a few reasons. These are 6 of those blogs in no particular order:

Kennysia.com

As far as I know, used to be the hottest blog in Malaysia. Everyone, advertisers, bloggers, would have one name in mind when the word blogger came up. The associated it with Kennysia.com. I can’t remember how he got famous, maybe he mimicked Xiaxue or something. His popularity has dropped, so has traffic, since he’s focused on his gym now. But when he writes, it’s still funny, and makes sense, so I get onto it once in a while.

Timothytiah.com

Well, he’s the boss, that’s why. And reading his blog is a good way to keep in touch with what’s happening in the Nuffnang Malaysia office since I used to work there. There are normally updates on what’s going there, who are the new nuffies, who’s boobs Mimi has been grabbing lately, and occasionally my picture in it so I check it out to check myself out. haha

Sixthseal.com

Huai Bin’s blog, never gets boring. I mean the shit he does, the chicks he goes out with, the things he eats, are always interesting. I mean if you want normal food, like you know, chicken, pork, beef, etc you go to KYspeaks.com. If you want tongue, dog feet, piercing dick to your balls, etc, you go to Sixthseal. It’s nice to see people do weird things, so you don’t have to do it yourself to spice up your life.

Gokatayama.org (formally gokatayama.com)

Go is a friend I met here in Beijing, cool dude that introduced me to a bunch of his friends which now that he left, I am friends with those friends. For his go away party he had 180 people in a 80 sqM little bar, some popular dude he is. Anyway, his blog is cool because he has some pretty good music that he’s mixed himself on it. Not all electronic music is good, but his is surely not bad at all.

Xiaxue.blogspot.com (you’re going to need to use a proxy/VPN to get on this if you’re in China)

I don’t go onto XX’s blog often, just like how I don’t get onto any of the blogs above very often too. I don’t give too much shit about her make up and camwhore posts, but what I enjoy very much is when she’s virtually “taking down” someone on her blog. That’s the best part about her blog. Read 2 posts about this – peter coffin, and the latest Filipino dude which I can’t remember his name. Damn she’s good, you don’t wanna mess with her. She’ll dig up all your shit, where you live, what you’ve done, who’s mom you’ve done it with, and push it to 50,000 people daily. Personally worked with her before and I have to say, one of the most professional bloggers I’ve worked with. Respect.

Davienne (you again need a VPN/proxy to get on)

Now this blog I actually stalk quite a bit, even though the content is never updated, maybe I have an addiction over this blog, keep coming back when there’s actually nothing to read. That’s coz she’s the gf! Haha. I have nothing much to say about the blog, since there’s nothing in it, but, BLOG MORE GIRL! haha

So these are the few blogs that I actually do go through now and then. In conjunction with Blog Day, I recommend these 6 blogs! What are YOUR 6 blogs? Blog about it and you might get featured on Nuffnang’s main page!

Happy Blog Day!

Normally you write blog posts about an event after the event.

This time I’m writing the future – I’m going to Tango this Saturday for Peter Hook. Apparently some awesome DJ that is also a bassist. Tickets are RMB80 pre-event, and RMB120 at the door. Event goes down at Tango at Yonghegong. If you don’t know where it is, use Baidu or Google maps.

Yep you read it, free Vedett beer from 9-10pm. If you’re not that into electronic music, the free beer would definitely make it your favorite music.

Get your tickets now. What else are you going to do this weekend?

这是我第一次用中文写搏客， 如果有错字， 笑一笑吧。

上两周我们在北京和上海搞了一个博主聚会， 曾我们拿福能创始人来中国的机会给他们跟博主见个面。 在北京的活动咱们就在办公室附近的新乐记茶餐厅， 一个在南航明珠酒店里面的茶餐厅。 我经常都过来吃， 因为他们的煲仔饭特别好吃， 服务员又好， 价钱不特别贵。

6点的时候博主就开始来了， 在这里我们看见神经病偷拍Julia 的照片。

Eric 是我们的主持人， 他弄的不错！ 以后可以上电视， 呵呵

饭吃到七七八八后， 我们就开始晚点游戏。 博主们都站一排，

然后第一个博主会看了一个句子后， 要把那个句子的意思演出来， 给下一个人接下去演给再下一个人。 在这里可以看到萝卜网， 演给Rachel 看。

然后Rachel， 反而没演， 就开始跳舞起来， 非常奇怪。 不知道她在干啥。

玩了游戏过后我们就开始走了。 都吃得饱， 玩得好。 也要非常谢谢新乐记茶餐厅提供了一些代金卷奖品给博主们。

好嘞， 我们活动拍了太多男生的照片， 因为大部分都是男生， 就给你们看我们那天唯一的两个女生博主！这里是Susan 和她的单身的朋友！

Our team went to Shanghai last week for a few days since the c0-founders were here for a quick visit. Stayed at the Westin (Thank you Tim/Ming, and NuffnangMY, nyehehehe), and had some pretty damn good food.

First stop was at Dintaifung, supposedly the best Xiaolongbao ever, even better than the original Taiwan store. Ming said the fried rice was the bomb so he ordered us one each. It was the bomb.

Ole London was the next day’s lunch we had with Kerloon. A grill that served up pretty good food, the only meal that I didn’t over eat! Here we have Julia and Eric dying to dig into their ribs.

That night’s dinner was some awesome Japanese BBQ with Darren, one of Ming’s friends. The meat was marinated super well, and I have to admit, I overate again. Haha.

The trip was too good, too much food to eat, and too pampered. Here we are waiting for the plane to head back to Beijing.

Of course, the next day wasn’t spared and I woke up bright and early at 5.45am to go for golf! Here we have Rajan from Singapore, and Waling Boers from Amsterdam chilling because the flight in front of us was mighty slow. Dave Yu wasn’t in the picture.

Xixi has always been inviting me to Foodies, but I’ve never had the chance to go mostly because I’m never in town at those times. But this time I made it and her friend Sheila was telling us about the charity for the month which is a Cambodian Photography school. I might have gotten it wrong but it’s something along those lines.

And to end of the post with a picture of Huiwen and I. I made the effort to go buy the photo frame to compliment the picture that she put in the effort to take and print for me. It doesn’t stand very well so it’s well kept in my drawer, but something that I can take out to see every once in a while.

I’ve been trying to play golf every week in Beijing now. It’s expensive but I don’t wanna give it up just because of it being expensive.

Yesterday we played at the Beijing International Club. The caddy said it was one of the hardest courses in Beijing. Played with David Yu, Beijing dude in blue that does private equity, and Waling Boers, from Amsterdam that owns an art gallery here in Beijing.

It rained the last 4-5 holes, but I had the best score ever in my golfing career up til now! Played my best front nine of 44 and then a second nine of 49 to end up with 93. Last best score was 96. Only had it twice and those were the only 2 times below 100.

Few highlights of the game. Hit 3 pars in a row, and got a birdie on one of the par 3s with a 10-12ft putt! Since this was a Beijing Golfers Club tournament, they had a prize for “nearest to pin” for all the par 3s and I got one of the prizes! The prize was RMB700 voucher for an Italian restaurant at Kempinski Hotel. I was thinking, gosh I probably can eat a bunch of stuff for RMB700 but later found out from Dave Yu that one dish would probably cost RMB200-300. Oh well, I guess it’s just going to be for 2 persons then.

Anyway, few things I did different that might have caused this good game:

1. Had only 3 hours of sleep before that.
2. Had a beer before the game.
3. Played 3-ball.
4. Had a good caddy who lined my putts up super well.

Maybe I’ll do the above again and get a better score next time muahahhaa.

Celebrated Eric‘s birthday at Chuanchengyuan Malaxiangguo shop at Jianwai for lunch last Friday. Helen came to join us as well. He left after lunch as Nuffies get a day off during their birthday. However, this lunch was nothing compared to the extravagant dinner he had at night with his friends. hehe

Since I got back to Beijing I thought I catch up with a few friends here. Had dinner that night with Chrystal at this Hutong restaurant. Their food was just so so but there were a lot of people there. Chilled for tiramisu and ice cream til later too.

The next day was Zhangkun’s. Wangbin’s and Liuxin’s birthday celebration. These are the dudes that have always been inviting me to play poker with them ever since I got to Beijing. A bunch of local dudes my age who are very nice. We always play some micro nl20 games and it gets quite fun.

Finally moving out of staying at the office and into my own place. Some privacy at last! Not that it really mattered already anyway since I got pretty close to all the Nuffies. They walk in when I’m still sleeping now and the bad thing is that I don’t care anymore! Haha. But since we’re going to be getting more new Nuffies soon, we’re running out of space so I had to leave the office and get myself another place. Which I did, in the same building coz I was so lazy to commute to work. So now instead of walking 5 steps to work, I take the lift upstairs to work.

This is how the place looks like. Should be moving in early next week after they vacate it, which means no more dangly, girly shit around. It is actually the office of a wedding planning company, hence the decoration.

Excited to move in.

This car is the VW Phaeton, Eric pointed out that it looks super normal for a RMB2mil car. Basically it’s the 7 series, S class of the VW cars. Just that it doesn’t look luxurious at all, basically it looks like a larger Passat. However, apparently the handling of this car is one of the driver’s choice.

If I’m spending RMB2mil on a car, it better be flashy enough to get me the chicks and not be a sleeper like this one.

Sunmeng texted me earlier today to say she was around the area since she normally is super far on the west side, so we did a quick dinner at Sanlitun.

Don’t let the look of this tame looking girl fool you and make you think she’s just like any ordinary looking Chinese girl. She won China’s best body in some body building competition in 2007 and 2010. She’s toned down now, but she showed me pics and SHE WAS SUPER MUSCLES, abs, thighs, arms, and everything.

Now she’s a Yoga instructor for 5 years already.

I’m still amazed at the freaking muscles.

Continuing my Back to Malaysia Part 1 post, since it was so damn long, haha.

Went to Singapore actually for a Nuffnang regional meeting and had a blast there. With Ming of course you can always count of having the best food at Singapore.

Here we are at this hidden restaurant that Ming said not to tell anyone about it since it’s a secret restaurant, but a week after that I see pictures of my other Singaporean friends eating there, so I thought it wasn’t a big deal.

It was some awesome Japanese food, ingredients were super fresh, and the beef skewers that you see the chef cooking, those were some awesome Wagyu beef cubes. They were so good they cost SGD10 per cube, yep, not per skewer, per cube.

After that the country managers headed for drinks here while all the directors went to the Marina Bay Sands casino to gamble away our salaries. We thought, since our salaries might be going to MBS at that moment we might as well just forget about Nuffnang and go crazy. HAHA and party like a rockstar.

At Singapore, we had the chance to catch the National Day Parade rehearsals as Nuffnang was one of the sponsors for the event. I must say it was super awesome. Coming from Malaysia I thought it was going to be super boring but this was really good. I’m glad I went.

Here we have Pat and Huiwen shaking them light sticks:

Singapore wasn’t all just work as you can see there are no pictures of the meeting. Here we are at the KTV on a Sunday,

before heading to Sunset Grill to burn our taste buds with the crazy level 30 chicken wings. Ming likes to torture everyone or likes to watch people get tortured by eating this crazy spicy chicken wings. I guess everyone wanted to try to see how crazy this was anyway.

This is Pat, taking it like a man. He didn’t sweat. He’s Thai:

Dave Lee was mentally prepared after screaming like a little girl last time eating level 30. This time he was well composed, but still sweating.

Pruet’s turn, took it like a man too. Oh sorry, he’s Thai too:

Now these are the 2 biggest sissies of the day, and the biggest sizes too. Nicchay and Carlos, making a big deal out of chicken wings. I have a 6min long video of them suffering, but you’d have to come look for me to see it since I’m lazy to post it up.

—–

So that was Singapore. After that Huiwen came back to KL with me because she had a speech on branding to give to some 40-50 year olds in suits, which I guess she did pretty well at.

Here we are having the best Malaysian food ever, since I don’t have a chance to have this in Beijing – Nasi Lemak and Chao Kuey Tiao (Malaysian style, not Singaporean, haha):

We had Suijean’s “surprise” birthday party to go to as well but it wasn’t much of a surprise since everyone came after the “surprise”. My bad but we had an earlier engagement to go to.

And we also have Shasha, the shitzu at home chowing down on some durian. Yep, a durian eating dog. Maybe we should try feeding her Smelly Toufu.
