Blogging for Blog4FT

Yesterday I went to The Pavillion in Bukit Bintang to claim my TGIF voucher that I won during the Nuffnang Project Alpha blog contest. I have to do that fast because the validity date is 16th November 2009. I wrote a post about this trip but am not going to post it here since I have published it as an entry for the Blog4FT blogging contest. The entry was posted at my travel blog As I Travel.....

You can click on the banner below to go straight to that posting and if you are generuous enough, please also vote for me. And, not only this particular blog but also all the other blogs that I had entered so far.

After the Nuffnang Project Alpha ends, now I turn my concentration to the Blog4FT contest that will end on 5th January 2010. While concentrating on the NPA contest, I do neglect a few days the Blog4FT. 

When I log in to the website again, I found that there is some improvements where there is a Top 10 contributors. After coming back from Bukit Bintang yesterday, I sit in front of my computer and start blogging. All the effort paid and I manage to put my name as the top 10 contributors. Today I published another blog and at the time of writing this post, I have made to the 5 rank with 19 blogs so far. I still have another blog in draft and hope to get published soon. 

I know it will be very difficult to make it to the top three but I hope to make it to at least better than 5ft rank. However there is no prize for top contributors but by being listed as the Top 10, will make my blog always be visible on the front page and hope will get votes coming in. I just can't depend on being listed in the random blog entries because there are times when my blog is not on the list.  

Today, I go out to KL again and this time to Pertama Complex. I sat at the Beriani Bistro facing the MARA Building and posted one blog. I surf using the FREE wireless@KL network. Of course the speed is faster than my Maxis Broadband that I use to get connected at home and way way way much better than P1Wimax. For the last 5 days I can't even get any page loaded using that network. 

Today I published another series of my blog Walking Walking Kuala Lumpur and click the banner below to read it.

Its Friday 13th

Today is Friday the 13th.
No superstitions please.

Mona Lisa In Coffee

Its amazing to see how artists portray their skills in ways to create their own identity and popularity. In Sydney an artist and his assistants 'paint' the Mona Lisa using 3,604 cups of coffee blended with different amount of milk to create the colour tones. It was a project organized at Rocks Aroma Festivals in Sydney,  Australia and was seen by 130,000 people who attended the one-day coffee lovers event.

The painting, measuring 20 feet high and 13 feet wide took a team of eight people three hours to complete.

Watch you tube video below:

Boyourennaisanceman's blog wrote verbatim;

Elaine Kelly, from organisers the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, was delighted with the result.

She said: ‘Each coffee cup was filled with varying amounts of milk to create the different sepia shades of the painting.

‘We wanted to create an element of surprise and a sense of fun in the way we engaged with the public.

‘Once we had the idea of creating an image out of coffee cups we searched for something iconic to reproduce - and opted for the most iconic painting in history.

What I Won From Project Alpha Blog Contest

All the seven weekly winners have been announced and out of two entries that I entered for week six and week seven, I only won fifth placing for week six. Fifth means just a consolation prize worth RM430.00. Like it or not I still have to be satisfied that I had won something compared to other bloggers whose entry did not win.

All in all for this Project Alpha contest I had won a total of RM 3200 worth of prizes.

Week 1  - 4th prize

Week 3  - 10th prize

Week 5  - 1st prize

Week 6  - 5th prize

Now just waiting to see who won the Grand Prize and go to Chelsea with Jojo Struys to watch English Premier League.

Waaa.....with this winning, I have 13 tickets to Sunway Lagoon for all Parks and 30 ticket to Pyramid Ice. Now I am thinking how to use the Pyramid Ice tickets before its expired date on 31 December 2009. Besides those I also won two TGIF vouchers that expires this 16th November and I plan to use it this weekend while going out to look for subjects to write entries for the Blog4FT blogging contest. My high tea voucher at Sunway Hotel can be used up later since the expiry date is not so soon.
