On air with Zayn Sabri
Feb 27th
I was on the air waves of Pelangi FM this afternoon with celebrity deejay, Zayn Sabri (it’s not Zyann or Zyan alright). The major motive was to give an overview about VanceTan.com and allow readers to know more about the site. During the interview duration, we received calls asking such questions such as my status and my occupation. As you guys have known by now, I’m a single person and author for this website.
Anyway, please tune in to Zayn Sabri’s show tomorrow on Pelangi FM @ 91.0 and 91.4 MHz to win yourselves VT Merchandises (limited editions). It’s entirely up to the show, so better act fast to get those exclusive prizes. The timings are from 6am to 10am and 8pm to 12midnight.

He also touched on his experiences when he was holding a post at the Brunei Shell Petroleum Company.

“ARTB 2009″ Rewind
Feb 3rd
Although many blogs and websites – which obviously needs no introduction with – have the coverages of Anugerah RTB 2009 in the real show, not many have photographs of the backstage view of the Anugerah RTB 2009.
Hazimah Hamid, a Facebook account user, agreed to extend her permission to me to use her photographs taken backstage before the real show was broadcasted live on RTB 2. Thanks Hazimah! The shots are really taken with clarity and this photographer really has her expertise in herself.

Amplified, which was one of the event involving the battle of the bands, was organised in conjunction with the RTB Media Carnival 2009. The event was overwhelming as many guests and on-lookers joined in the music fun, while listening and spectating their favourite bands take hold of the stage.
Over 80,000 people visited the 5th Consumer Fair (CF5), smashing the expected tally of 60,000 and the previous record of 58,000 visitors. This was according to Sunlit Advertising Managing Director Jackson Ting, who organised the fair.
