Adidas Action 3 Roadshow at Mid Valley

Since everyone's on the topic of Adidas Action 3, well, wait, maybe it seems like everyone's on the topic of it because I'm talking to people who ARE on the topic of it everyday, which makes it seem like everyone's on the topic of Adidas Action 3, wait, did I say the same thing too many times? Gah, Oh well, naturally I'd have to talk about this Adidas Action 3 roadshow that happened at Mid Valley half of last week.

Adidas Action 3 was having their launch of their new Deodorant and body wash. Massive booth at the Center Court LG of Mid Valley megamall. Saturday itself was super busy there, I think they racked up a bunch of sales just by people just walking pass.

In conjunction with this whole roadshow, Project Alpha bloggers were going to be there to hype up the whole event, so naturally, one by one they started showing up. I 1st saw beautifulnara.com snapping away,

His gf was there as well, Sixthseal arrived not long after, he actually texted me to say that he was there already and looking for the place, I didn't save his number then so i just replied not knowing who it was. LAter on the night he sent antoher text, and I replied again, but after that I started feeling stupid, as I was replying to someone who I had no idea who it was, so I had to be thickskinned to ask, "who's this?". His big reply, "HAih david, Huai Bin here. PR FAIL." Sorry dude, have definitely saved your number. haha maybe can go yamchar too since stay so close.


I think i've sidetracked too much, so during this roadshow, Project Alpha bloggers were goign to have a foosball tourney amongst themselves. This is Ken from Adidas, putting up the roster. Sam actually drew lots to randomly pair the bloggers up, so guys, don't blame me, it wasn't me. (Incase u didn't like your partner, or you thought they sucked, haha)
Sixthseal was mentally preparing himself, probably thinking, against fourfeetnine and redmummy, haigh..piece of cake
Nicole and Casey showed up not long after. Casey's goign to be showcased in Season 2, so watch out for that!
Nicole was I guess pretty happy she was pairing up wiht beautifulnara since he da man in soccer, so she might have been thinking too, haigghh..no problem


What's this, they're strategizing?!Oh, they're not. They're reading about nicolekiss' article in TheStar. She wrote about Michael, the director of Project Alpha!
And what's a bloggers event without appearance of a nuffie? Carol was shopping wiht her mom at Mid Valley and was nice enought to stop by.

Long enough for only a picture with Sixthseal, and then she was off!

Redmummy was really good on the part that she took super precautions with a facemask even though declared negative from the doctor of Ahini. Her son was confirmed wiht Ahini a few days ago but is recovering super fast. Audrey defintiely isn't going to contract anythign from Redmummy. hehe


The principals from Adidas were there to see how us Malaysians roll. The tall dude in the center was pretty funny, his expressions to show how awesome Windows 7 and the Leopard OS for Mac was was priceless.

Sam briefing the bloggers,

Then inviting them to watch the trailer of Project Alpha live in front of many people at Mid Valley!
So, after that, naturally the foosball tourney had to go, here we have Kenny and Jojo vs Nicole and Beautifulnara.
I think at the end of the whole thing Kenny and Jojo won the rest of them. So much for all those who were seriously preparing for it.

It was about time to buka=puasa. Adidas Action 3 was kind and super generous enough to take us all, the whole Project Alpha team to Alexis at The Gardens. I'm thinking we had about 30 people there. It was a great time, with great food. I can't imagine how much the bill came up to. But I'm sure it was well worth the good fun everyone had.
This might be the last time pictures are taking from the camera that took all these pictures. Came home to upload all these pictures and found out that my LCD screen cracked from the inside.

Maybe I'm never meant to blog?

KDU - Keele University day at KDU College

Had a whole afternoon on Friday at APV office looking at Project Alpha's edited 1st few episodes. Looks damn good. So went home and you know, friday night, had a quiet night in, and since it was Saturday the next day you would imagine that I could have slept in and all, but no...at 8am I was awake and headed to KDU College They were having this KDU - Keele University talk that Nicholas Chay, Nuffnang's country manager was going to give a talk, along with Blake Delandro, Managing Director of OgilvyAction Malaysia.
I guess I kinda arrived early, as there wasn't many people there yet. One or 2 students signing up. So I thought since they're giving free breakfast, which I kinda knew they were going to give free breakfast since KDU focuses on their hospitality program, I mountain-ed my plate with a big pile of mee goreng.

While waiting for Blake to setup. He took a while, Nick and I were suspecting that he might have been preparing his slides there and then.
Students started to pour in.
So David Tann, Marketing Manager of KDU College decided to go ahead to start the show. He was probably asking some ice-breaker questions that involved people putting hands up. Will tell you more about how Nicholas got EVERYONE to put up their hands later.
Saw Serina coming in, she was super helpful in the previous Open Day that Nuffnang was involved in with KDU College, so stole a shot of her.
These 2 students, the one in the red stripe, and guy on his right, were the only 2 Nuffnangers there that put up their hands when David asked if anyone in the audience serves Nuffnang ads! THanks guys for supporting Nuffnang!
Blakes speech was kinda long. I think it lasted a total of 50 min. But I guess since he had the vast experience in advertising, hence being the MD of Ogilvy, he had his fair share to share with everyone.
It was finally over and David went to see if anyone had questions. There was this one questions that Blake asked the audience earlier before he started his speech. He asked, is anyone here looking for a career in advertising? and no one raised their hands. Then after his whole speech, he asked the audience back - "So, since no one's interested in working in advertising, why are you all here this morning?". One student very honestly answered, "The college ask us to come attend this talk.".......

EVeryone was super quiet. Basically just stared at him, especially David! Oh gosh, if you ask me - stupid question, gets a stupid answer. Both were stupid. Oh well, luckily that dude covered up by saying something like "oh, we were just curious of what Keele had to offer."....PHEWwwww...

Funny.
When I was turning around to look at that blogger who made that stupid answer. I caught this girl, covering her face the entire time i was trying to take that dude. But then i realised that she was pretty cute herself. So I thought, let's wait for her to show her face. So I waited, and waited, and waited. I was like..gosh...what's she doing? Why's she taking so long to remove that hand from her face. ....so I went ahead to take that shot of the dude, and turned back to face the front.
until later on when i was having lunch with Nicholas, did he point out that SHIT...she was actually covering her face from ME!!!...LOOK AT Her eyeballs staring at me!!..ahahahaha.....


Later did I realise that she just got back from Queensland or soemthing liek that.

And now it was Nicholas's time to speak!


Nicholas had this brilliant opener - he asked one question that made EVERYONE put up their hands. The one and only question was,

A show of hands, who uses facebook....
And walahhh! everyone raised their hands!! Thats' what audience interaction is all about! woohoo

Look at him, put a slide up that puts Nuffnang wiht the giants of online. Nice work.
The day all came to an end. David presented a token to both of the speakers.
Hopefully everyone at the event got soemthign out from it. And we sure hope that Nuffnang's products would be of continuous service to KDU College.
