Visit Kuala Lumpur (November 2007)
I am going to Kuala Lumpur (KL) few hours later. The main purpose of the tour is the post-celebration of my younger brother’s birthday. Then, shop for some gadgets, and attends a few local events at coming weekend.
Post-celebration of brother’s birthday
My younger brother will receive an Apple iPod nano as his 19 year old birthday present. I plan to have a walk at KL Golden Triangle with him, watch a movie, and perhaps a luxury dinner in the newly opened Pavilion KL. I’ll do my gadgets shopping, too!
Gadgets shopping
As mentioned in previous post, I will buy a wireless broadband router with modem, probably the Linksys WAG200G. It is recommended by the readers. Plus, my younger brother is using it in KL as well!
Beside the router modem, I would buy a graphics tablet. The model should be Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet (A5 size). The listed pricce is $699 MYR ($208 USD).
Why a non-art blogger buy a graphics tablet? Well, you may not know that I like drawing a lot. It was my greatest hobby before I have a computer. Now I can afford a graphics tablet and I think it is a cool idea to turn my drawings into digital format. Looking forward for LiewCF’s drawings, huh? ;)
By the way, Wacom graphics tablet can do much more than only “drawing”. Check it out.
Local events, many!
There are a few events for this coming weekend. As I promised, I will attend the Webmaster Gathering at KL. Somehow, I have become 1 of 5 reasons why you should be there. There will be 30+ people gather at StarBucks, KL Sentral at Saturday afternoon. Talk to me if you meet me, don’t ask my income. :P
Besides, eBay Malaysia has an event to celebrate its new web look at 1Utama Shopping Mall. There will have RM65,000 worth of MOL cards to be given away to 1,000 lucky winners! All you need to do is print out your ebay account’s personal information and present it at their booth. Some eBay experts will be there to give talks and answer your eBay questions.
For chinese book lovers, don’t miss the 9th World of Chinese Books Fair held at MIECC, Mines Resort City from 16th to 25th November, 2007. Not sure I have the free time to visit or not. It is a great chance to get great books at discounted price.
So, that’s my KL tour plan. A great weekend, isn’t it? :)
P.S. You can spy me at LiewCF twitter page.
Wascom graphics tablets are wonderful gadgets for those who love to draw the modern way – not using pencils, brushes, sponges, girlfriend’s hair etc. I’m using Wacom graphics tablet model CTE-430. Nothing fanciful but it serves its purposes – in my case, making ugly sketches. I love to draw butterflies. If you like butterflies (the real ones, not the ones with flowing shampooed hairs), go to my Information Bank at http://MyInfoHQ.net
If I have the money I would probably buy Wacom Graphire Bluetooth Wireless Tablet – CTE630BT.
If you are coming to Kajang, I will belanja you a few sticks (max 10) of Satay Kajang. Now I’m a bit broke because the bank has yet to clear my Adsense check. Normally within 30 days.
Now I’m going to make breakfast, listen to music, check my Gmail, Adsense account… Pity those who have to drive to work on a wet, wet day, like today.
Never know that you have so wide hobbies.For me,I don’t think I can finish a drawing because of my poor skill on it(or say,I have outstanding skills that can make piggy to be cat).
Don’t laugh.I will take sometime to improve my drawing skill when I have same income as you.hahahaha…
Pavilion is a great place to go… I like that shopping centre. Perhaps you should drop by at J.Co donut (located at the Food Court) and try it out if the queue is not long.
Why not create a LiewCF’s fans @ KL gathering?
It’s good to see you & Gobala Krishnan going too, what a great chance to see big time bloggers… Somehow I feel that I will be shy to talk with you, LOL
If not mistaken there is another gathering for Penang Webmaster right? May i know when is the date? Hope i am not too late to know this…….
Liew,bless u have a great and safe journey!
Looking forward for your drawing empowered by wacom tablet. (Btw, first time I heard about this product :)
–blog for dream–
@Ainuddin: thank you. it has been a long time since I last tasted Kajang satay (my kampung is Semenyih).
@liciece: I like to draw but bad at coloring. Don’t wait if you really want to do something.
@kss: thank you. I don’t eat donut. donut make me FAT FAT FAT!!!
@KennyP: I am not sure how many people will attend a “LiewCF fans gathering”. Also, it is not easy to remotely organize a gathering in KL from Johor.
@Edward Khoo: why shy? I am not gonna eat you :P In fact, I am a shy guy too. LOL
@dicky: the Penang webmaster gathering was over…
@tim: thank you. hopefully I can train myself to use the tablet in a short time :)
hello liew, kalau sempat habis exam awal..i nak pegi juga gathering tu..see you there.. :D
Contact me if you need a tour guide in KL. :)
For American or Latin-American people like I, Kuala Lumpur sounds as a far far away place and very exotic. It must be a nice travel. Good luck and enjoy it!
KL is center of heaven in Malaysia!!
