To LA for Underworld : Awakening

Ok will be updating this post on my progress at the moment nothing much to report. On the way to KLIA to fly to Taipie ..













That's Fitrizal. One of the nicest Airport Limo drivers I met and his budget limo is one on the cleanest. If you can ask for him. Glad that this trip is starting right.. ;)

Ok sent my bags in.... See you in LA my bag. Be safe and don't talk to strangers

So here we go.  

Still looking for your questions for Kate Beckinsale and some of the cast of Underworld : Awakening . Just tweet me the questions ok @JJhitz

Ok. Touch down in Taipei and walking around. It's about 9pm and my flight is at 11.55pm. Now what to do.

It's a nice airport. They've got umbrellas on the roof. Maybe it rains upside down. It's pretty though

ok flew of on the 4th of January at about 3.25pm and... spent close to 20 hours on a plane... and landed in LA at 8pm on the 4th of January... Crazy huh..

Got to the Hotel and took a nap.  Nice hotel though..

Then it was the 5th of January.. I had to go walk around. I took the Metro and it was easy..

Then it was lunch with Che'nelle... 

Then after lunch back to the hotel to get ready to go to a secret location to watch the movie before the rest of the world.. :)

The next day 6th of January was D day.. The press junket was really cool as was in the same hotel that I stayed in the Montage Beverly Hills . Yup the whole 90210 and all. 

It was cool because first you needed to register yourself and then the crew of Underworld : Awakening had this thing called the stand up room. It's a room with a green screen so that can add you into the movie just for you own keeping. Check out what I did

Then it was time to go and speak to the stars. I was so nervous speaking to Kate. She is so stunning in real life. I thought I was ready but when I sat infront of her... all my cool left the building.

2012

So it's a brand new year. Yesterday as I watch the sunset on 2011


it got me thinking about the year. I know we all say the year passed by so fast but when you actually sit down and think about what happened, you'll realize it actually passed by like normal. One regret is that I didn't have my new phone to update this blog to help remind me about what happen..

So here's to keeping my blog up to date and not forgetting 2012

Hoping that the best of 2011 feel like a normal everyday thing in 2012




Have an awesome year my friends and thanks for reading

I'm blogging again

For those of you who haven't notice my absents, too bad :P The truth is I haven't been blogging because of my phone.

I was using an iPhone 3Gs and it served me well. I didn't want to get the iPhone 4 cause I just didn't want to. So here's what happen. My smart became a semi smart phone. It kept crashing on me and some apps just didn't want to work so I just stop using for anything but calling and SMSing, with a little twitter and Facebook once in a while. That why no updates from where I was, but all that is about to change!!!!

Say hello to my new little friend!!




I don't have a name for my iPhone 4s yet but it's awesome!! Been saving since the iPhone 4 came out so it was easy on my pockets to get :)

So watch out for more blogs from me behind the scenes



I'm back!!

MTV Worldstage

Ok here we go. Just reached here and waiting around.




There wasn't much of a jam so it was ok. At the moment you can hear the people checking the mic

DIGI Wow Awards

Today is gonna be an interesting day. It's gonna be a first for me, I'm presenting an award

I guess there's a first time for everything. Even though I'm nominated for an award I doubt I'll will but it feels nice to be nominated.

Where is it happening well at the KLPAC. It's along Jalan Ipoh. It suppose to start at 7pm and they told us to be there at 6.30pm. Well I hate people being late so I tried to be early. Not knowing how the traffic situation was I decided to leave my house in Subang at 5pm. I don't know what it is but the traffic was clear so here I am sitting at Oldtown White Coffee waiting for the right time to show up :)










Time to chill with my white coffee...








Ok 15 minutes gone and white coffee finish... Time to move


Reach KLPAC




and registered. So weird to be under the VVIP list LOL



Then..... My phone dies. Of all things!! Sorry but didn't get to do much after that. Will look for pictures from others and I'll put it up

My first award show. So glad I got to say... And the nominees are...
And the winner is....


Hopefully I get invited to do this again :)
Note to self, charge phone before any event :)

I've been missing

Hey peepz I'm so sorry I've been missing from blog land. Just been well busy. Beside I always thought each entry has to be awesome filled with pictures and sound bites but I just don't have the time for that. So I hope you don't mind the easy version.

Alright what have I been up to from my last post... Well loads. One of the reason I stop writing. Wanted everything to be in order so I kept putting writing on the blog off. So I've decided to write about whats going on now and when I can, I will fill in the gaps later when I can.

What's up now, well I met WWE superstar John Morisson & WWE Diva Melina.



We went to meet them and you know when you watch wrestling, they are rough and though, some are cocky and some are just rude so I didn't know what expect. They walk into the room and that stereotype disappeared. They are one of the nicest people I've met.

Ean was the one talking the most on this as I'm not much of a wrestling fan. Ean has been a fan for the longest time so he knew the jargon. They were so cool and answered everything we asked and by the end of the interview I dare say I know a lot more about wrestling then I did at the start.

The crazy thing about after the interview, they were suppose to head to some other place for a press conference, but the MPV they came in couldn't start because of some battery problem. So they ended up in the back seat of Adam C's car and he dropped them off. Not often you get to say I had WWE superstars in the backseat of my car but Adam C can now.




I wouldn't call this an interview as it felt like a chill out season with friend chatting about our day over a Teh Tarik. John Morisson and Melina are cool down to earth awesome people in my books. Hopefully they will be back again to chill out again.

Me playing catch up.. yet again...

Ok I keep putting of writing so I'm behind now so here's me trying to catch up.. let me see what did I miss.... Ahh ok..

Lets start with a legend I met. Zola!!! Use to play for Chelsea. Yes I am a Man United fan but I'm also a football fan and he is a great player. I remember his last goal..

Yes he was amazing... Nice person too

If your miss out on the interview...

Then there was a formal idol of many who came into the studio..

Mel B one of the spice Girls..

She came in as an ambassador for fitness week.  Another nice person..

 Hmmm then what...

Let me think.. oh yes I shot a few advertisements for TV. Now I never thought I would be asked for a be on an add but I just finished 3. Check out this entry to see it Advertisments I'm on...

.....
We found a winner for Rock The Beat. She won RM 10200

Ok I think that's it.. if I think of anything else I will add it in.. :)

Tell me if I missed anything...

I'm on an Ad...

I know I promise to keep you updated and to catch up on things that I missed out but I will do that later. At the moment I'm waiting for a crew to shoot a promo that will come out on Star World for the American Idol thing, so I thought I will write this entry.

This will be a work in progress thing and will update this entry with the rest of the photo's and all but recently, Ean and I went to a Studio in Kota Damansara to shoot the hitz.fm TV commercial. It was long but I like what came out of it. I will show you the pictures of behind the scene and all but if you want to see the ad.. check this out.

So what do you think??

Funny enough, I'm also on a Digi ad which I myself haven't seen yet and also watch Star World for another one on American Idol soon..

But this is not my first ads...
I've been on advertisments before... don't laugh OK

That is how I know Amber and Sharifah Amani. :)

Once again I'm playing catch up.. First.. "The Wanted"

I really suck at this blogging thing. I really wish I have the time to write when ever I want but the truth is I don't. Even though I have an app on my iPhone for it I still can't seem to do it right. I guess I just want it to be perfect.
Lets see where did I stop.. ahhh yes... the interview with "The Wanted"
That was fun. The cool thing is we actually played laser tag with the guys the day before.. and yes they totally kicked our.. %$#!!!

Pictures of "The Wanted" in the hitz.fm Studio's

Nice bunch of guys.. enjoyed interviewing them.

The funny about it is when we were done we spoke to the manager to organize a Gotcha call and he was cool with it. We called them a little later once they left the studio and I acted like one of the fan's father. I said that there's a picture of Nathan hugging my daughter and in out culture that means he is interested in marrying her. Check out how Nathan answers..

Nathan was a good sport about it later and can you imagine this Gotcha call went around the world as the wanted fans tried to make it a trending topic  on twitter with the hash #marrymydaughthernathan. Hopefully the come back soon.

Angry Birds made me Top Tweet. :)

I know this is late but I wanted to tell you about it if you don't know. It all started with my reply to Marian Counter from E News Asia..

If you don't know, "Angry Birds" is a game you can find on most touch screen smartphones. Then I thought, that's a cool line so lets tweet about it and I did...

I got a few good replies from that as people started writing what "Angry Birds taught them".. then I started receiving messages from people from all around the world and I was wondering what was going on, until I got this message

And still I was like, I don't understand. I continues with the "Angry Bird" Tweets cause it was fun and a friend of mine tweeted this...

So people around the world got to join in the fun. Not only till later did I find out that I made Top Tweet. 

Honestly till this day I don't know if it's a big thing or not but I made top tweet ... cool. :)

American Idol Season 10

I know I promised to blog once a week but sorry... I missed last week. Hope that's ok. Now lets get right into it.

American Idol Season 10. I'm a big fan of American Idol. Been watching it from the start and lets be honest, last season when they said Simon was leaving I made up my mind like so many other, that's the end of American Idol.

They replaced Simon with Steven Tyler and Kara with J Lo. I know, I know you're asking what about Ellen..... I bet even Ellen wants to forget she was a judge on American Idol, at least that's what I think.

Ok I've been watching it so far, and in true idol style, you get the unexpected. It's actually good and I like it.  Why do I like it for a few reasons:-

1. The judges.... the focus is no longer on the judges fighting about who is right or wrong but on the contestants singing. Steven Tyler has his moments with his wise cracks at the bad singers plus the dude can sing and I will take J Lo over Kara or Paula any day. She is actually good.
2. The main reason I watch the show, the contestants and so far the sound AMAZING!! Don't have a fav yet. Lets wait for Hollywood week

So I guess I'll be watching another season of American Idol and lets hope it's better then the last one because for me last season was really bad. Fingers crossed this year will be great..

First week back..

I've been away for 2 weeks. Finishing up my leave and this was the first week back.

As usual the Monday was good full of energy and we had fun..

Tuesday then it started getting hard as the body is wondering why am I waking up early again...

And then comes Wednessday when it hits you.. You body starts fighting back not wanting to wake up so it doesn't allow you to sleep early on Tuesday and you are in Zombie land on Wednessday..

Then comes Thursday when the body realize the it can't win and need the rest so sleep goes back to normal...

And Friday.. back to normal..

It's been interesting as I meet a few cool people .
First it was Secondhand Seronade


and we got to speak to the boys..

 If you like it you can Download the interview here

Then it was Speech and Montsho Eshe from Arrested Development

I know a few of you are going... who....
Well they are a group from the 90's
They sang songs like
Mr. Wendal


People Everyday


Tennessee


Then on Friday I got to meet a K-Pop star...
it's G.Na you'll

Pictures of the interview

She was very sweet and we enjoyed the interview very much. The truth is I never listened to any K-Pop music until this week and I do enjoy it. I actually like G.Na's song...

Here are the snippets of the interview with G.Na...

 and that was my first week back to work this year...

Good start to the year...

Happy New Year....

Lets start with a...

Happy New Year!!!

Ok lets be honest I suck at this blogging thing.  I just seem to keep things updated.  That would be my new year resolution I guess. To try and keep this updated. One post a week at least... but be warned.. because it's gonna be 1 post a week.. it might get weird ... :)

I'm still free for questions though.. If you have one, email me and I will answer it.. :)

I created a calender of confirmed places I'm gonna be this year...
I will update it so if you want to meet up check it.. maybe I will be in your area.. :)

Wish I were running

I wish I were running but I couldn't. 2 reason. 1: I haven't been running and 2: I was the emcee. Funny enough I should be use to getting up early but not on a Sunday!! But I had too, I was the emcee for the Nike City 10KM. Ten! Ten! Ten! Yup that makes for a good dramatic sound effect plus it was the date too

Ok I got there early got briefed and got ready. At about 6.45 I grab the mic and told people to make their way to the starting line. The runners were divided into 2...
The 5KM group




And the 10KM Group




Everyone was ready to go. It was a very cool sight as the official race tee was also they runners number so they had to wear it.




By 7.15 the runners were ready to go. After making them do a wave, the music starts and it's time to go!!!!

And they're off!! Funny enough it took about a good 7 minutes for all the runners to clear the start. You think I can relax but no, I make my way to the finish line and in a few minutes the winner of the 5KM crosses the finish line. Crazy huh but it's true

Then off to the stage area for some games and prizes. Then the first band takes the stage...
Put your hands together for Bunkface !!!




Then more games and prizes then...
Make some noise forrrrr...
One Buck Short!!




More prizes to give out that leads tooooo
Estranged!!!!




You guessed it, more fun & games and prizes and the crowd starts to make noise forrr...
Pop Shuvit!!!




Last set of games and prizes that leads to the guy who just came from the airport from Maldives. Make noise for..
Joe Flizzow!!




Then the winners where given their prizes and trophies and everyone went home. It was fun. Next year I'm running

Getting updated...

I've been bad.. I'm so sorry. I promised to keep this updated but.... as you can see I have failed to do so. So let me get you up to speed on what I've done so far and we will pick it up from there....

Didn't do much actually but got to speak to a few interesting people..
First it was Mr. Ian Wright..

We had a great time interviewing him... He is as crazy as you see on TV

Then.. it was Jason Derulo!!  Can't say his name without singing it..

Another nice interview.  Some one told us that he was a serious person but we found out he is a very nice guy.  We also were also the MC for his showcase that night...

Then it was the awesome Katy Perry...

We really had fun.... She is a very cool girl and love to interview her again... She was even cool with out parody..

hitz.fm boys...

Living in a Billboard...

The day started like every other Friday.  Got to work at 5.30 am and did the shift but the clock was ticking. When it came close to the end of the shift it felt like we did something wrong and we're headed for the lock up. When it came closer to 10 time started to move real slow. We got into the hitz cruiser and they drove us to Pavillion.

As soon as we got there we checked out our living space.. It was like a room but not the master bed room. Just one of the other rooms. People started coming in and giving us briefings and stuff about what is gonna happen. So far so good everything looks ok and I'm starting to think I can do this.

We had so many different people come in to see if everything is ok and safe for us. Even some celebs.
Everything was on schedule.  The got us settle in and cleared the room.  They left Ean and I inside to get ready.  As the MC warmed thing up outside.

You see we were suppose to start at 12 but we were in there and ready by 11am for the reveal.  The drew the curtains and filled the room with smoke.  They gave us gas masks so we could just sit and wait.

The crowed gathered...

Everybody was wondering what is gonna happen.  We were just sitting around waiting for the curtains to be open, as the crowd grew.  Then they filled the room with smoke and ....

We were wearing gas mask. Then our 50 hours started.

What we do in there. Sat around, spoke football, played computer games and took pictures of people passing by.  The gave us mics too so we spoke to people passing by.




A big thank you to Mark and the Cruisers aka Marky Mark & Chunky's Bunch

Morning Crew on Ice

When people talk about ice skating, you think speed, grace & other cool things that comes to ice skating. But when you put the hitz.fm Morning Crew on ice skates and in ice hockey Goalie pad, you will see none of the above.

Last Wednessday we did so for the Do the Dew Challenge with Mountain Dew. What was I thinking before I got on the ice? I was thinking "please don't hurt me" and "Please don't fall like a Cempedak Busuk".

It took us a good 20 minutes to get the gear on. Once we had everything on getting to the ice was a chore. Then on the ice was a whole different story. The last time I skated was at least 10 years ago and that was on roller blades. This was my first time on ice.

They offered to help me to the goal but me being Macho I said I could do it. I did manage to get to the goal post, but very slowly. I'd say 0.5km/h.

I stood at one post and Ean stood at the other. The hockey pucks started flying in our direction. I just didn't want to get hurt so that held me back from trying anything, but as soon as the first puck hit, I knew I was safe, so time to be brave :)

I use to play field hockey. Doing this brought back memories. But after a while the players stop and I thought we were done. I was tired already but then I hear the announcement. "Alright they are done with he warm up".

I was like what!! This outfit ways a ton and I can't skate. Ean and I crashed and sat on the ice while they set up.

From Ice Hockey

I decided to go first. I actually surprised myself as I manage to stop a few pucks, and I actually looked good stoping a few of them. I had fun and manage to catch a few pucks with my hand. But after about 3 minutes I was getting tired. Concentration fading... must ... push.. through the pain... And next thing you know, I'm done.

I stand on the side and watch Ean have a go, while I catch my breath. All in all I would say it was a fun experience but a tiring one. If you think it's easy you should try it and you'll see.

Go Malaysian Ice Hockey Team !!!! & Thanks
