1. Eat your meals
12 hours can be quite exhausting, especially if you have to lobby for votes and run around doing tasks. Scarf the food down, we have three meals a day and I eat every single meal coz you’ll need the energy.
2. Interact with the people outside
You need their votes so wave, smile and pose for photos with them. 1 vote is one point so take your time with the people voting for you.
3. Do social profiling
You know who likes you. You know who doesn’t. It’s mostly guesswork but I can figure out which types vote for me and I’ll lobby for their votes by making eye contact and waving the appropriate sign. Then again I’ve been surprised by votes from people who I never even lobbied for so take this with a grain (or shaker) of salt. 😉
4. Make use of placecards
You can’t be heard inside the window display and you’ll need to communicate with the people outside. Write generic replies and scribble ad hoc ones with a marker when you have to.
5. Use Twitter
Each tweet is worth 1 point, the same amounat as a vote so it’ll be wise to start tweeting about anything and everything. All of us were spamming Twitter with the hashtag. 🙂
6. Don’t drink too much water
This goes without saying. We get one (1) toilet break every 3 hours and all other toilet breaks will be deducted at a rate of one point per minute. Hold the water, or your bladder, or even better, both. Just learn to pee real fast. 😉
7. Put up signs on your window display
This is what they see when they first go to the window display. Tape those signs up! =D
8. Type faster
This is not a PhD dissertation or a presentation to an important client. Speed is the keyword here. It’s a blogathon – go, go, go!
9. Don’t put up too many photos
It takes ages. T_T
10. Be nice to the promoters
They get one vote per day too so you can get them to vote for you!
Thanks girls! Much appreciated. 🙂
ok, this looks like downhill from here on for many of the poor souls out here trying to get a sense of the shopping frenzy you guys have created.
Is’nt a picture still worth a thousand words and isn’t it still as true as ever, all the judges out there? Why twitter?
nah nah givve you back kit kat woo hoo i got tic tac whoo hoo see i separate the woo and hoo to make 20 words.
6thFan: That’s an interesting contest…erm, design overlook which I pointed out on the first day. It takes AGES to post a blog (and it’s only 1 point) while tweets are also 1 point and its so fast with the hashtag. 🙂
However, we have blog post quotas to meet each day though. 🙂
do some stunts bro! crack ur head & storm your brain more. mozoltov!
One probably can tweet 100 times in 1 hr, but it probably takes 100 min to compose 1 blog, and both worth 1 point? Something is wrong.
cheesie: Haha! That is exactly 20 words. 🙂
nelson: Going to going to, my muse is coming during the toilet break. I brought 3 muses along today, one for each toilet break. 😉
fish fish: Yeah, that’s what I pointed out the first day, noticed that, but it was a bit too late as it was starting in 30 minutes. Heh! 🙂
You could tell people you’ll put their photo on your famous blog if they vote for you?? Just an idea…
Isn’t there some kind of quality control with tweets? Otherwise you can just go crazy with whatever wtf fml omg random rubbish…
julian: Heh! I don’t think that’ll work very well. I think most of the people here don’t read blogs – random passerbys. 🙂
There are a few supporters though.
Yeah, a bit of a loophole in the tweeting thing. 🙂
Huai Bin, one more thing, I don’t know why everytime after I submitted my comment, it takes about a minute for it to successfully be uploaded. It has been happened for months. I am going to comment here kao kao tonight since I have nothing to do. LOL
lemme update you with news from sibu.
1. the dragon jade temple at km26(sibu-bintulu) road is now open so make you go and do some wushuish thingy there.
If the price is a Celine boogie bag, I think I’ll be able to go through what you are doing now. But for a notebook?!! and 24hrs torture?!! sigh…
2. the sibu to tanjung manis road is going to be completed early next year! so your heng huas from sg. merah can travel to TM soon and so sum samurai X.
Never mind, let’s keep going at it.
The two score card girls are cute, let’s aim the broken Sony at them.
Has your competitors falling asleep yet, aim at them too especially the hi-tech guy, now completely surrounded by soft-tech. He needs help!
Where’s the lingerie section, let’s get the inside scoop in the changing room. We need to know and this’s your opportunity. No excuse!
Ed and me are doing the same thing now. Eat roasted chicken with cauliflower while reading your blog. Though I use mine, he uses his. I am really spamming your blog now. FML
wishing you all the best in this blogathan and hope that you can win this notebook. I rather win something more substantial like a Celine handbag! haha
any vegetarian foods for me? why is it all about complete protein? so tang serves food too? but i prefer j.co to all those amino acids.
aiyorrr no one post for you one?? all post for cheesie saja. here I’m here to support and give you one additional point! go go go make it happened dude! =)
just wondering u got 3 tiolet break but u r hardcore smoker how u cope with it?
i think huai bin also known as sixthseal or chap pa lang is wearing a condom catheter to wee wee hence the falsified urinary retention due to the upper motor neuron lesion following an alleged accident injuring his brainstem and frontal lobe.
I know you get points from every comment on your blogs. I have tweeted (and you subsequently retweeted) you about coming over later this evening.
I wish you all the best of luck with my comment here (which hopefully earns you a point) and my later visit to see you in a fish tank (which will earn you another point, I hope).
PS. I promise not to vote (or help) anyone else get more points than you. 🙂 Good luck holding your bladder. It might help if you don’t think of Niagara Falls!!!
HAHAHA! I love the sign. Not sure if you look like Ah Beng/Lala though. About holding your bladder, well the initial part is hard, after that torturous period, the feeling to pee will go away! (provided you don’t have to jump around :D) I did a lot of unnecessary training (not good for the body T.T) while stuck in many traffic jams..
tattoo doesnt mean a person its bad…for me its art… 😉
HB, where is you fashion for today? I want to see. Is it against the rule to pee inside the “tank” you are at? I mean in an empty disposable container. Ok, you probably will be detained before you do it.
fish fish: Thanks fish fish! Yeah my mySQL is running really slow. T_T
nelson: Interesting! Thanks for the update mate. 🙂
eiling: Heh! It’s all in good fun. 🙂
pipping tom: Haha! How did you know I’m Henghua? 🙂
6thFan: Okay! I won’t let you down! They’re on lunch break now will catch them when they’re back. 🙂
fish fish: Feel free to spam away! =D
1 comment with more than 20 words = 1 vote. 🙂
eiling: Thanks Eiling! 🙂
nelson: The food is from Island Republic and brought into the window display. 🙂
I’m sure they can cater for special requests if you need it. 🙂
saimatkong: Haha! Thanks mate. 🙂
ah nel: Then you can go out for a quick smoke. 1 minute deduct 1 point. T_T
nelson: Haha! I also have adult diapers. 😉
WinnieKepala: Thanks Winnie! I appreciate your support! =D
Come and knock at the window display ya coz I might be distracted. If I have a task I won’t be in the window display but it’s only 20 minutes. Else I’ll always be there. 🙂
bongkersz: Haha! True, true. 🙂
Yeah, I’m holding it in now too. 😉
ah nel: Yup! I put that up just for fun. 🙂
fish fish: Haha! I don’t think they’ll take it very well if I piss inside here. Oh course, I’ll put up the photo later. 🙂
comment here is also counting as 1 vote right? so here 1 vote for you 🙂
jg: It needs to be 20 words or more though. 🙂
Thanks for the support! =D
nah, can’t go there to vote for u, so i am here giving u extra one mark…morally support u…good luck yo!
Do a double “:) :)” at the end of every sentence. 🙂 :).
That’s an easy 2. Watch for the space separator! 🙂 😉
Actually you don’t this cheap points. You’re a good writers.
Sorry, this suggestion is for Cheesie. 🙂 🙂 and KY only. 🙂 🙂 Ouuch! 🙂 🙂
That’s why I bought you the adult diapers so that you can pee in your pants before toilet break if you can’t hold it any longer. Then during toilet break just change to a new one lol.
annant: Thank you! =D
Appreciate the support! 🙂
6thFan: It’s 150 words for each post. I’m verbose by nature so it’s not really hard for me. 🙂
Welcome back and before they come back, let’s change the game plan.
Do a live report on the shoppers; do they just look at you guys and decided it’s time to shop? or the opposite?
Are they mostly male or female, young or old? Fashionable or Ah Beng on a transition.
What exactly do they come out with, a pair of white socks or some overpriced leather jacket?
Or simply there to get some high from the perfume section?
How many blog posts do you need to write today? I am still waiting for your 2nd post. Truth is, I am very sleepy liao.
u know what.. i’m actually doing the blogathon with u … yest i was working 9-9.. and was online whole day, blog/tweet/FB…and watching u update and tweet..

Here is the race so far; Cheesie has 1200 comments and you’ve 33, and I’m posting Cheesie comment below so that we could narrow the gap somewhat.
Only if there’s a coach for this!

Interesting article, was curious if you would permit me to link to it in a article im currently creating for my own site? Thanks
That is nice to definitely find a site where the blogger knows what they are talking about.
How is it that just anybody can write a blog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive –more like youve painted a pretty picture over an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you really think that you can get away with adding some pretty pictures and not really say anything?
Its really a great post. I am sure that anyone would like to visit it again and again. After reading this post I got some very unique information which are really very helpful for anyone.

The next time I read a website, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
You completed a few good points there. I did a search on the subject matter and found most people will agree with your blog.
Great! Thanks for post

I’ve been checking around #hostname and really am astounded by the amazing content material here. I work the nightshift at my job and it really gets dull.

hi everyone, my epithet is hotdog and i right impoverishment to say that this is an superior journal airman and i real saved it steadying, would it be okay if i submitted posts to this blog some topics i recovered fascinating?
PlayStation Phone – No internal memory? That seems kind of weird since I doubt this thing will use UMD. Also, isn’t the PSP2 coming out next year? Will they make a PSP Phone 2? I’m kind of skeptical on this one. well, i can’t edit…but i wanted to add this. i wont be surprised if sony adds some type of adapter add on to the PS3 (something to support the IR blasters, and maybe a small unit within that add on that has more RAM) so it can support google tv. It would make so much sense for sony to be even more of a presence in the living room, other than what the ps3 can already do. If google tv ends up working out all the kinks, and getting better…i wouldn’t be surprised. On top of that being a selling point (a huge one) over the Wii and similar to the Xbox integration w/ att uverse, you’d be able to get the PSP phone and the ps3 to work all buddy buddy together. the possibilities are endless if you ask me. This would be called product synergy sony…listen to me
Youre so cool! I dont think Ive read anything like this before. So awesome to find somebody with some original thoughts on this subject. realy thank you for starting this up. this blog is something that is needed on the web, someone with a little originality. great job for bringing something new to the internet!
