Woots!!! I just created my first website!!! Check it out: http://www.emiliovergara.com Thanks!

Homestays in Malaysia

I live in an area with several college and universities around and it isn't surprising to see many homes around here being rented out and mostly to these students, especially Tunku Abdul Rahman College students. See, I was a student there too, and I was lucky that I was brought up in this area, so during my college days, I didn't have to go through the hardships of renting a place.

I've heard many stories from friends about renting a place and more often than not, not very good ones. All the way from lousy housemates, leaking pipes, to just being way out of any shops or plain expensive.

I always thought how these people actually finally decide on a house or apartment to rent. For me I would be so fussy about everything. Thus, when I came across this iBilik Malaysia advert on the back of a taxi, I wondered if my these students actually use this to look for a place. I was curious so I went to check it out online.

I actually thought it was pretty good stuff, I mean, it was easy to look for a place online. Just type in what you're searching for and wallaa... some even comes with pictures. of course you would still have to call and meet up and get everything done the old way, but really deciding on one should be far easier than checking out printed or hand-written adverts at bus stops and on lamp posts.

I also found out that the website also gives the opportunities for short term stays. It's like Malaysia Homestays. I thought is was a great idea. people coming to visit for a day or two now need not spend a fortune at hotels. They could get a homely place for a reasonable price... and fast too.

Hmm, this just gave an idea, I probably should put up my empty house up on the wall, who knows... could use a few extra bucks u know.

I don't know what's right or what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear
'Cuz I'm being taken over by the Fear

10 Years of Fleishman Hillard KL

This video was made for the 10 Years anniversary of FHKL.

I almost cried watching this video. So touching although I've only been a part of them briefly. I am so honoured and proud to have been part of The FHKL team.

Zee Avi

Was introduced to this video by Jeremy. Her name's Zee Avi, If I'm not wrong, she's from Miri and is currently recording an album with a recording company in LA.

Check out the video. Her voice is so sweet, reminds me of those olden days kinda songs, like P.Ramlee or Saloma or something, close to Norah Jones I would say. There's like 4 or 5 song in this video, I love the third song, Kantoi.

If Were a Boy (Remix - Beyonce feat. R. Kelly)

Just a quick video: one of the most awesome remixes I've heard.

My 13 weeks internship at Fleishman Hillard KL has oficially ended last week. Really didn't mind goin on for a while more but had some other responsibilities in college and so on. Back to college tomorrow for the final year of studies before going off to Liverpool.

In college, I'm the new chairman of the music society. Long story short: I didn't know nuts about the society...it sort of died off...SAD wanted to revive it...called me...I said yes...the end.
Last Wednesday we had our Society day, recruiting freshmen to the society. Won second place for Best Performance, thanks to Aryton and his cousin. I sucked.

Food...fooooodddd. I guess I'm beginning to become a foodie. I have seemed to developed a urge to try new food at new places. Anyway, I've like grew fatter since I started my internship, coz the food at Mid Valley are good. Oh well, time to diet. Had Italliannies twice, Carl's Jr twice plus a whole lot of good food. Plus, I went to this all you can eat dim sum buffet at LiJin, Pavillion. I would recommend the place to all.

For my birthday last month, my family and I went to this North Korean restaurant along Jln Ampang for dinner. I was real authentic Nort Korean food. And all the waitress there are from North Korea. Don't ask me how they managed to get out of that shithole of a country and landed up here. But they were beautiful, pretty, talented, sweet...everything perfect. My gawd, guys, you'll drool not because of the food. I trid taking picturres of them, but was asked to delete it immediately due to security reasons for them, seeing that they are from North Kore after all.

One of the events when I was at FH was this MAS In-Flight kitchen tour for bloggers. It was awesome. We went behind the scenes to see how they prepare airline food. And of course, I got to eat till my heart's content.
If you're up for Cendol, try Wahab's Cendol. Expanding from a roadside stall since 1986, you can now find the new shop in Rampai Business Park. Very nice cendol. have it with tapai, pulut, jagung, kacang merah, aiskrim. U suka la.


Since I've been with FH, I've attended three MAS events for bloggers. It was awesome to be meeting Malaysia's top bloggers including KennySia, KampungBoy and CityGal, Wingz, Simon Seow, and so on...

The best was the Cabin Crew Training Experience. It was awesome. Check out the photos.
