CHANNEL X Facebook SMS Service 101

I've been blogging about updating my Facebook status using SMS after activating the CHANNEL X Facebook SMS Service. What about the other Facebook options that can be utilized through this 1st Facebook SMS service in Malaysia that only charge RM 1 for unlimited weekly usage? So, today, I'll conduct a simple CHANNEL X Facebook SMS Service 101 course here lol. More like a crash course kekeke.

The first lesson is of course to activate your Facebook SMS Service. Click here for my informal lesson or click here for the official lesson of how to activate the service after you got your XPAX Prepaid Package.

After you've activated the Facebook SMS Service, there are a lot of Facebook options that you can use now just by sending text messages or as we say it in Malaysia SMSes.

Facebook Status Update:

This is the easiest to use. Just type in your message and then send to 32665 and voila you have your FB status updated. Note that you'll see a [via Celcom SMS] at the back of the status message when you see it in your Facebook.

Follow your friend's status update via SMS:

After activating the CHANNEL X Facebook SMS Service, you'll be able to see a new option called "Subscribe via SMS" when you click into your friend's Facebook Profile. It's just like the Follow option on Twitter only that now any update will be send to your mobile phone and there's no data upload/download whatever calculation involve.

So, for example, I clicked on WeiZhi's "Subscribe via SMS" and I'll be able to get her every status update (especially on food :p) sent to my now Facebook Phone.

Poke your friend:

It's as simple as updating your Facebook Status but you have to add a keyword in your text message. Type poke friend's profile name and send to 32665. For example, if you want to poke me then type "poke yyseow" without the quotation marks of course and send to 32665 and you've poked me (omg, that sounds so wrong).

Okay, I told you this is only a simple course. If you want learn the advance course of CHANNEL X Facebook SMS Service 202 and 303, I'll have to charge you for that lol. Just kidding. Click here to learn more on the other Facebook options that you can use. Happy playing around with your CHANNEL X Facebook SMS Service. ;)

Howling at the New Moon

It's almost dawn. In the back alley of Heritage House in Jalan Yap Ah Shak were two men dress in black suits with bow ties having conversation in whispers. Man with beard whispers to a tall and thin clean shaven man,"So, have you got it?" Clean shaven man replied,"Yes. The security is very tight there but with my shape shifting ability, I was able to shape shift into one of the guard. What's so great about this New Moon movie anyway?"

Bearded man smirked and then says,"What? You haven't heard of the Twilight Saga? The stories about vampire and werewolf that is not what we've thinking about all this time. Vampire is not afraid of the sun, it's just their skin will shine under the sun so they stay under the sun to not to arouse suspicion among the humans. I want to find out their weakness and this Twilight Saga might be able to give me a clue. I read that in New Moon, my kins will have a more active role in the movie. I might learn a trick or two from there to fight against those bloody vampires."

"Quick, show me the tickets to the premiere of New Moon that you've stolen from the office of Tayangan Unggul.",said bearded man while snarling at clean shaven man. "Here it is. New Moon opens at 26th November 2009 in major cinemas in Malaysia.", said clean shaven man while giving two pieces of move tickets to bearded man. "What???", bearded man growled. "The tickets I want is for the premiere, which is a day before the openings. I can't go to the movie on the 26th, it will be full moon that night and I can't control my transformation, you bloody idiot." "But..but, these are the only tickets I was able to find in there.", shaven man stuttered.

Bearded man is now very furious. His suit is starting to tear apart as his body is growing bigger and fur growing out from it. Just as when the werewolf was about to rip clean shaven man apart. A handsome young man in white shirt and white slacks appeared in the alley. "Wait!", shouted the handsome young man. "Maybe I'll be able to help. You can start your own blog and join Nuffnang and be a Glitterati member. Go to this page and join the New Moon movie screening contest. Isn't it easier than ordering the shape shifter to steal? Here's my card, if there's anything you don't understand you can give me a call." And the handsome youngman walked away after leaving his name card with the werewolf. After seeing the name card, the werewolf howls at the New Moon and then miraculously, the werewolf transformed back into the bearded man which is now in his teared suit.

The name card reads,"Nuffnang Sdn. Bhd. Robb Chew, Blogger Liason Executive."

Lesson of the story is that, you don't have to have shape shifting ability to get premiere movie tickets, just be a Nuffnang Glitterati member and post blog or comment to fulfilled the requirement and you'll have a high chance to get the premiere tickets.

As, I've wrote in the short stories, Twilight Saga is not your traditional vampires story where the vampires only goes out at night, scared of the cross, will die under sunlight. In Twillight Saga, is very different where the vampire does not fear the sunlight and they have super senses, strength and speed. There's also the irony of a human girl falling in love with a vampire and the other vampire clans that feeds on live human blood wanted to hunt the girl down. The latest development in New Moon, from the trailer I see that werewolf will play a part too. That's why I like Twilight Saga, it has so my non-cliche ideas about the fictional monsters that I've read about ever since I was a child and the plot just thicken with each sequel.

Yut Kee, Jalan Dang Wangi

Warning: Tidak Ditanggung Halal

On the morning before gathering in front of Heritage House for the bus to Singapore for the Nuffnang AP Blog Awards. I purposely went there earlier so that I can have breakfast in Yut Kee. Reached there by cab at 6.45 am, and it's not open yet. Then, Chris and Christine saw me and asked me to join them in Christine's dad's car. Took a round trip and came back to where they picked me up lol. Christine's dad told us that Yut Kee opens only at 7am.

Yut Kee coffee shop is older than my father. It started in 1928, already 81 years. The third generation is helping out in the business now. Famous for their authentic Hainanmese style coffee shop food such as pork chop, roti babi, kaya roll, half boiled egg and kopi.


I think the furniture there is older than me but still very sturdy.

We were like the 2nd group of customer to went in and when we're inside, they were not even ready yet to take orders. Waited for about 15 minutes only then the waiter starts to take our order. The couple had breakfast already, so they only ordered drink.

Christine & Chris (he was my room mate in Singapore :p)

The new and the old, quite a rare scene to be found in KL.


This is my second time to Yut Kee. I tried Roti Babi before, so this time I ordered Pork Chop as my breakfast. It's very meaty and not like some other pork chop in other coffee shop that only gives a very thin layer of pork. The worchester sauce tasted just right not too salty. Given the pork chop just the right juiciness.

Rating: 3.5/5

I wash it down with my favourite teh-C. Not the best teh-C but who's to complain. Maybe next time I should try their kopi.




I went to Yut Kee again last Friday because I need to go to Nuffnang office to collect the prizes that I wont from Project Alpha contest. You can read about my winning post here. I reached Yut Kee around 11.30 am, just in time for the salivating Auntie Margaret's roasted pork roll which is only available on Friday and Sunday from 11 am onwards. 11.30 a.m. is just nice, not that many crowd yet. I read that it'll be finished by 1 p.m. normally.

I saw the staff was just taking out 5 freshly roasted pork roll out to the table where the roasted pork was cut and serve to customer. Look at the skin, look to crispy and golden in colour.

Inside the roasted pork roll are herbs. I can taste rosemary is one of the herbs.

I ordered two slabs of roasted pork. Cost me RM 10 a slab. Costly but worth it.

Of course, it won't be complete without the specially made apple sauce that goes with the roasted pork.

The roasted pork is done with the perfect proportion of 20% fat and 80% meat. That's my perfect proportion, not some universal standards okay?

Rating: 4.75/5 (0.25 less from perfect scoring is because the skin is not as crispy as I would have like it to be)

Two slabs of roasted pork is not enough for a brunch, so I order a set of half boiled eggs. Yut Kee using free range eggs? Why is the shell white? But the egg here is bigger than the egg in the coffee shop near my house.

Look at the orange coloured yolk. So beautiful, not to mention tasty too. Filled with the goodness of fresh egg.

A dash of white pepper and soy sauce. Gulp, gulp, gulp. Ah...satisfaction. Beats the Omega 3 eggs in Oldtown Kopitiam anytime.

Soy Sauce.

I also bought two boxes of kaya rolls on the go. One box is for the Nuffies and one box to bring home.
