Have you heard of the “MP3 Experiment Six” in New York where a group of people follow the audio instructions from an MP3 file? This has inspired us to do something similar in Singapore on 29 May 2010 as part of the World No Tobacco Day commemoration!

Instead of following the audio instructions from an Mp3 file, the Health Promotion Board has partnered MediaCorp Radio 987FM to execute this “Great Audio Experience” through… Yup, pretty obvious…. The Radio!

On 29 May 2010, all participants and celebrity guests will tune in to 987FM at 4.30pm and follow the audio instructions from 987FM DJ Mister Young! We will be involved in a series of fun activities to live it up without lighting up – in a moving flash mob that will end up at Plaza Singapura.

This mass activation will start at the following 3 locations along the Orchard Shopping Belt:

• The Heeren Shops
• Orchard Central
• SMU Green

Register now to secure yourself a starter kit and stand a chance to win one of three limited edition “Live it up” iPad (16GB)! Refer a friend and both of you will increase your chances of winning the iPad! Registration will close on 28 May 2010 at 2359hrs! By the way, I am not eligible for the iPad lucky draw so put another friend’s number instead to increase your chances of winning, ok?! But make sure that they turn up to secure the additional chances!

My friends like DK, Claudia, Molemole, Nadnut and Nicole have already registered!

So what are you waiting for? Register now and I’ll see you there! :D

Was happy to see DK, Hisham, Jayden, Mus, Diana and Eevon at our event and glad to meet William for the first time! Friends like Claudia, Nadia, Jacelyn and Lawrence did not managed to make it for our event due to personal commitments and Nicole was not feeling well that day.

Kicking off the event was Jack & Rai singing the unplugged version of “Pixelated”, a song in commemoration of World AIDS Day 2009, live at the blogger event and followed by a screening of August 29, a short film produced by HPB and a group of youths.

[Part 2 of August 29]

Starring Lawrence and Evelyn Maria, August 29 is a heart-wrenching love story about a girl who is dying of AIDS and how she chooses to spend her last days with her ex-boyfriend, a photographer.

My colleague, Janice then shared the objective of the blogger engagement event and programme lined up to commemorate World AIDS Day 2009. This might sound cliché to you but we really hope to create more awareness about HIV/AIDS through the power of our blogger friends.

Did you see the countdown timer on the right column? It will be counting down to December 1, a day when many people around the world can often be seen wearing the red ribbon that has now become a familiar symbol of:

• CARE and CONCERN for people living with HIV and those who have died from AIDS;
• HOPE in the search for a vaccine and care; and
• SUPPORT for people living with or affected by HIV

Did you know that…

• condoms can provide protection against HIV when used correctly and consistently?
• when you are tested negative, it does not mean you are HIV negative for life?
• you will not get HIV by sharing food and drinks with someone who has the virus?
• a lot of people still do not know about the above-mentioned after so many years of public education since the discovery of the virus in 1981?
• and you can find out more about HIV/AIDS at HPB Online?

“Your life, your canvas” is the theme for World AIDS Day 2009 and is inspired by the notion that we are all responsible for painting the canvas of our own lives. What we choose to put on that canvas is entirely up to us, and the choices we make all contribute to a constantly evolving picture.

We will be having the finals of the Graffiti Art Competition at Scape Park on 21 Nov 09 and will also be hosting an exclusive World AIDS Day event of art, music and dance, featuring guest appearances by Jack & Rai on 5 Dec 09 at SupperClub Singapore.

To stand a chance to win one of the 100 pairs of tickets to this special event, all you need to do is answer 3 simple questions on Breathe.sg.

To increase your chances of winning the tickets, do keep an eye on my blog as I will also be giving out 5 pairs of tickets to 5 lucky readers in this 2 weeks! Some of our blogger friends will also be holding a ticket giveaway in their blogs so do keep a lookout on Breathe.sg!

Claudia and me!

Was at the Puma “RED in My Head” Circuit Party last evening together with Claudia, Jayden and Nadia! We were all dressed in RED for the event! A big thank you to Claudia for bring me along!

Red Dome outside St. James Powerhouse

The event was held at the carpark outside St. James Powerhouse where they erected a red dome specially for this event! We refused to move out to the outdoor area after we got in there as it was pretty warm outside…

Booze!

There were lots of booze, ranging from Whiskey, Wine, Vodka, Beer and Champagne, and the music was great! Nope, I did not binge drink yesterday night, though the drink servers were very diligent in topping up my drink! One sip and you see them topping up the drink! Poor Nadia was still nursing her stomach, so all she had was FIJI water.

When Kimi Räikkönen made his appearance at the event, the crowd went crazy! Lots of people were busy snapping photos of him. My photos did not really turn out well for him, but hey! I took a video instead!

Puma Models

After Kimi Räikkönen left, it followed by a PUMA Motorsports fashion show! All of the models are very tall, so I didn’t take pictures with them. Hee Hee. My height is only 1.68m can?

Friends of Puma

I also got to meet some of the Friends of Puma at the event! They are a bunch of very friendly people! Nice meeting you guys

Me and Nadia

Jayden and Claudia

Oops

At one point, Claudia and I was playing with the glowstick app on our iPhones and we danced with it. LOL! Closeted Ah Beng and Ah Lian, like what Nadia have said! Hmm. Someone took a video of us doing it. Keeping my finger-crossed…

I would say last evening was a major camwhoring session! We took photos… and more photos! I am looking forward to seeing the photos by the rest! Catch the rest of the photos taken at the event on my flickr set.
