It was exactly 31st August 2011 when I made my withdrawal from Nuffnang Blog Advertising Agency. I finally got my hands on the Nuffnang Cheque in October. It has been like 3 years I have sticked to this ads blogging agency. Well, I was testing their payment withdrawal system since this will be my second payment I am getting from Nuffnang. Actually Nuffnang brought me back my memories on the first meetup with other Nuffies and also the Boss Stewie. Those days we were all young and simply the zest for blogging was more towards fun.

Fast forward, it is now 2011 and the last time I withdrawn my money from Nuffnang was like 2008. That is about 3 years since I actually withdraw any money. This is what came into my postbox a few days back.

 

I still remembered when I have gotten my first paycheque from Nuffnang back in 2008 and writing a post about it. I basically hid the value that I have gotten which was kind of stupid. I mean, why hide the value? Those naive days of me. Unlike now, I find that it is great if one can share their success of being with a blog advertising network  and thus encouraged others that this agency does pay. Though, if it works for me, it does not mean it will work for everyone. Just a bit of work and also constant visitors will get you the pay you deserve.

I am nowhere anywhere near those elite bloggers who have lots of money value. Until 2010, I was a constant consistent blogger. The year 2011 has made my life a bit different. I have even considered giving up blogging because I cannot keep up with my activities. Until then I thought, why stop?

Thank you Nuffnang for sending this cheque worth RM745.99 to me. Well, at least it is a pocket money while blogging.

SIDENOTE

I have been looking back at all my old photos and now thought back of all the fun things I have done during my younger years. After another 1 month, I would be having another new journey in my social life. Will I be back?

You know, I was the one who was laughing in the middle of the first fighting scenes with the samurai, when BabyDoll was using her powers. I was the one who was telling myself that this has got to be a sucky movie. It was what I first thought. Then…. whoa… I LOVE THIS MOVIE SUCKER PUNCH.

Okay it was not only the girls, but yes, Emily Browning (Baby Doll) is so small for her size, but that’s what makes her BabyDoll in this movie. Of course, Jamie Chung (Amber) was the only other reason I watch this movie. Well, that was what I thought so. Here’s the sypnosis of how the movie went.

Baby Doll was captured and forcefully sent to a place by her stepfather where they kept girls and train them so they could entertain their clients and hopefully be bought by the clients. It was here she met the rest of the cast which includes Amber (Jamie Chung) and co. Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie hardly play a role in this movie as she was not fit for this kind of movie, so I guess I could leave her out.

To spare you guy the details, I was at first thinking that this was a fantasy movie, only to find it wasn’t. Well sort of. I was thinking how the heck did Baby Doll transported herself into another world only to realized it was not but only a fantasy in her mind while she danced (they didn’t show the way she danced… BOO). Of course, the captives were mesmerized and from that illusion/fantasy she thought of escaping this crappy place they were kept at.

Then the story goes from there and whenever she would be dancing, we were all brought to the scene where there are robot and dragon fighting. Amidst all the fantasy, the fantasy world was shown instead because I bet that they would want this movie to be viewable by all audience. Imagine Baby Doll doing the slutty sexy dance moves and then we will have all the guys hooked up on the movie. Ahahaha!!

So after all those fantasies, it was after all a mission to get out of the place and the fantasies depicts what goes in Baby Doll’s mind while executing the plan. So instead of watching real life plans being done, we were shown fantasy. The ending kind of sad though (not gonna tell you why) but one thing this movie taught me was, “You can escape as you have the weapons”. So no matter how hard it is something is, if you have the tools and the ideas, you will be able to solve it.

Of course, how the heck I got to watch this movie? Once again, Nuffnang with their generosity gave me the chance to watch this movie due to a blog post written previously on this blog. Well, I sure love this movie SUCKER PUNCH more than I AM NUMBER FOUR. WEIRD!!!!! No it is not. Sucker Punch has a better written story compared to Number Four which only acts like super hero movie with the lame Twilight storyline.

Thank you once again Nuffnang. Also thank you in advance for the next movie which made me happy, HOP! The bunny with the candy poop. LOL

After all those flicks and movies and theaters about the male dominant movies with their rail guns, M16 and the bombs and explosives and sweat, it’s time for some relaxing group of female firepower back into the movie. Yes, Sucker Punch is here to come and what a way for a title for a movie. Definitely a chick flick and what the heck is a sucker punch? Ahahaha… You punched the life out of a sucker?

Well, the story revolves around Babydoll (Emily Browning). Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls—the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)—to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm). Of course, now this is where I come in.

The story now revolves around Daniel Takeshi (Daniel Chew) who is stuck alongside Babydoll and the other girls who were held against their will. Strange enough, I think with my martial art skills and talent, this will be a simple knock in the butt for me. Now with Amber (the fierce one) alongside the multi-talented Daniel Takeshi (me… definitely); sorry Babydoll, guess this time you’re not the main lead, it’s time to break through by using both brain and guts and talent.

The Hot Amber (Jamie Chung)

Hold on maybe Babydoll has some uses after all. Since she could throw sucker punches to those suckers who kept us against our will. Not your average daily life, this Sucker Punch will be a hell of a hilarious movie.

Power of the Sucker Punch

Now who says Sucker Punches aren’t strong. No pun intended

In truth the only character with a decent name is Amber. The rest have oh so crappy names like Blondie, Sweet Pea, Rocket, it makes you think that this is a cheapo lousy movie, but nevermind, at least there’s Amber. Hahahaha…

Additional Notes: In case some of you thought that Jamie Chung is a tad bit familiar, she was Chi Chi in Dragon Ball: Evolution and also as Takara in the well known game called Red Alert 3.

Time to relive the life of what has been happening just a few weeks ago at Luna Bar. There was a Vaseline Party and I was there with my dear Yen. Well, she got the invites. So seeing that it was getting late, I proceeded to shoot some photos of the event.chia

Little did I know was that there was a pool in between the stage and the crowd. Sad case, just when I left my zoom lens at home. Anyway have to make do with an UWA and a portrait lens. For those who are still clubbing they would have known, but for someone like me who has long past the age of the clubbing scene, I didn’t know.

Strange right, why would guys go to a Vaseline party? Well, looks like Vaseline can be used by both guys and girls but I somehow have this thing against using beauty products. Well, during my time in school, we used to call guys that used beauty and skin care products sissy guys. Those days, image was brought upon to the likes of Rambo, Samurai and the rugged bearded features. Those days, watching television you’ll see heroes all looking like that.

Fast forward to the present, now we don’t even see those kind of guys anymore being portrayed with the occasion of Rocky Balboa and Rambo making a comeback but now we get is metrosexual guys who wants to have clear fair skin. Seriously I couldn’t understand why the sudden change. Anyway that should be another topic. Talking about the event, lucky there was the lovely Jojo Struys to be the emcee for the night.

This photo was cropped from very far and lucky it turned out well. Well, later you’ll get more photos of Jojo Struys.

Of course, with a person like Jojo Struys on the stage, all the guys’ eyes were on her. Even girls were not spared.

Wondering who is that? Wonder no more.

From left: Me, Timothy Tiah and Dear Yen

The only photo I have with Timothy, co-founder of Nuffnang. (I know the photo lighting is bad *sobs*) Remember the photo before this, that’s none other than Dearest Yen. Anyway Nuffnang was the one who gave us the opportunity to go for this event. Definitely a big thank you to you boss Stewie.

In this Vaseline party, met up with lots of bloggers and friends. Glad to meet up with you people. Unlike previously where I was superbly active in attending events and activities, I am now becoming more dormant, preferably sitting at home or having my teh tarik with friends at the local mamak. Must be the sign of getting older and older.

Anyway, recently I have appeared lesser and lesser in my own blog, that’s because I am the one holding the camera most of the time. That’s just made it better because now I would have my hands busy taking photos of people especially Princess Yen.

Taken from the stairs. This is the statue of Luna?

Of course, we have guest artiste performing at this event. Yuna went up and sang a few songs including catchy hits like “Cinta Hari Raya” which is one of my favorite songs that night.

The only decent photo with a 50mm and shot at f4. As it was getting dark, that’s the best I could do to get a photo of her and the band. Of course, here’s one close shot of her with Yen.

Of course, last but not least, during the start of the show, we have the crowd lighten up a bit with the appearance of Quah Jen Han.

Quah Jen Han cracked me up with his jokes. Not bad, I love his jokes.

All in all what an event it was at Luna Bar. Well, looking back, I am now wondering where did all those Vaseline go at my home that I got from the goodie bag.

Of course, finally got to meet with ShaolinTiger (since he was the official photographer) and took a photo with him.

Darn I look like a small kid next to him.

To sign off, it’s time to end this with a photo before we go.

DanielCtw and Yen signing off with KLCC at the background. Thanks to Shaolin Tiger for taking this shot for me.
