Dato’ Ng Boon Bee (L) with YBhg. Dato’ Seri Dr. Abdullah Fadzil Che Wan, OBJ Kinta, OKK Panglima Kinta Seri Amar Bangsa Diraja (R)

Although I bump into Dato’ Ng Boon Bee once in awhile in Ipoh, I never approached him for his autograph, until I met him at Ipoh Swimming Club recently, where he launched the inaugural Dato’ Ng Boon Bee Cup, an inter-club badminton tournament.

best of luck!

Many of us know Dato’ Ng Boon Bee as an All England Doubles Champion and a member of the winning Thomas Cup team in 1967. However, Dato’ Ng Boon Bee’s sporting career is more illustrious than that, not only in badminton but also in football and rugby. Dato’ Ng Boon Bee was voted Sportsman of the Year in 1968.

Happy New Year 2011, everybody!

It’s officially the start of a new decade, though some people mistakenly thought that 1st January, 2010 marked the start of a new decade instead.

Ipoh’s New Year countdown was held in Stadium Indera Mulia last night with State leaders, though I am unable to confirm if a New Year countdown was held at Dataran Ipoh as well.

Happy New Year 2011

I didn’t go to any New Year’s countdown, so let me just grab a New Year picture from the internet for this post. Even if I did go, I wouldn’t be able to take any nice fireworks photos. Blame it on the equipment, or the lack of. I haven’t tried out Samsung ST600′s fireworks mode yet, though….

It would be unrealistic for me to hope for a fantabulous year in 2011. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it will not be too bad a year for me. As for you, you and you, I hope that you will be blessed with happiness, good health and prosperity. Cheers!

Watsons VIP Membership Card

Oh yes, there is no denying that I spend a lot of time on Facebook. I have installed tens of games and play more than a handful on a daily basis, much to my own chagrin! Though I know that I am addicted to Facebook games, I can’t seem to get away from the social network website.

Watson’s VIP membership card

But then all is not for naught when I have stuff to show for all the time I spend on Facebook. Remember the two crystals that I received? Yesterday, I received a Watson’s VIP membership card, a new loyalty card from Watson’s which was given away to some lucky people through their recent weekly Facebook promotion.

What we had to do was to write a short essay on how Watson’s is useful to us. I wrote about an episode where Watson’s came in handy when I was shopping at Sungei Wang Plaza in Kuala Lumpur earlier this year. It was a true incident so writing the essay was effortless. And as you can see, I am one of the lucky winners of the Watson’s VIP membership card!

Watson’s Passport

Normally, shoppers at Watson’s would have to pay a one-time membership fee of MYR12 for the card. I know it’s a small amount but if you are a contest lover like me, you never look at the value of the prizes but take pride in your winning effort.

Oh yes, besides getting my membership card, the membership pack also comes with SIXTY discount vouchers of various beauty and personal care products that are sold at Watson’s. Imagine, SIXTY worth MYR200 in total! I haven’t even finished looking at them but I trust there surely will be something that I could use. Shop, shop, shop!
