Marion Counter New Biggest Looser Asia Host!
Its a brand new season and its got a brand new host! The new E! Asia host Marion Caunter will be calling out contestants to stand on the weighing scale for the second season of the reality show.

They make me feel that anything is possible and I’m extremely honored to be involved in such an amazing and life-changing show. It feels good to know that I’m part of a team that is helping change these contestants lives for the better,

Merdeka!
Leo Burnett have come up with another superb Merdeka for Petronas this year! Every year without fail Petronas never fails to come up with brilliant ad’s for Malaysia’s independence, normally master minded by Yasmin Ahmad.
After her passing, Malaysians were left waiting to see if this year the advertisement would be as good and they have not failed us!
This year, its called.. Kereta Buruk!
Im sure Yasmin would have been so proud of this one! RIP Yasmin, We all miss you!

Facebook Places
Facebook have launched their latest feature..Places .Its like Foursquares where users get to share their location, what’s good, what to do opening up a new dimension to its services. There have been some debate that facebook has reached saturation point but this new feature should help re-ignite that in the countries where people think users are getting bored with this network
Foursquare had to start form zero but Facebook has the truck loads to start with and it should be interesting to see which come up on top in 6 months time maybe?
