Nokia N95 Wireless Adventure大賽揭曉

The Nokia N95 Wireless Adventure discovers the soul of Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur – “YOU are the soul of Kuala Lumpur!” That’s the conclusion unanimously reached by all 32 participants at the climatic end of the Nokia N95 Wireless Adventure: Discover the Soul of Kuala Lumpur held last weekend from 26th – 27th May 2007.

Armed with the GPS-enabled Nokia N95, the participants raced throughout the city to discover its soul through tasks and clues that involved a combination of elements including food, music, arts and culture.

Team Orange, led by 8TV’s Step Forward host Dylan Liong and comprising Lee Yoke Loong and siblings Mohd Khalil Al Haqq Bin Mohd Rassali and Ana Nur Hidayah, emerged victorious to win an all expense paid round trip to discover the soul of Rome.

The two-day competition was part of a regional event by Nokia held in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, India, Philippines and Australia, that featured teams of participants racing around their cities in search of the cities soul.

Taking advantage of the new Nokia N95, the competition enabled technology-savvy urban explorers to discover the essence of what makes their local city special and win fabulous prizes for their efforts in the first GPS – enabled race in Asia.

In Malaysia, participants were challenged to complete tasks such as rock climbing at Batu Caves, learning to make ‘roti canai’, and wrapping ‘nasi lemak’. Participants also had to learn to play the traditional music instruments at the National Academy of Arts and tried their hands at Chinese calligraphy at the Chen She Shu Yuen Chinese Association.

Throughout the race, the eight teams were also tasked with capturing their experiences using the Nokia N95, taking advantage of the Nokia N95’s 5 Megapixel camera and DVD-like quality video recording capabilities. At the end of the race, the teams were required to edit a video answering the question “What is the soul of KL?” using stills and footage taken throughout the race.

Team Green, comprising NTV7’s The Breakfast Show host Nazrudin Rahman (Naz), Mohd Ridzwan Md Imam, Alfred Loh and Effa Syafiza, took the prize for “Best Video Editing” to win a trip to discover the soul of Prague.

Step Forward’s Dylan Liong said the event had helped him see Kuala Lumpur in a different light.
“I was totally amazed about how rich and diverse Malaysia is. From rock-climbing and delving into Batu Caves to preparing favourite dishes, I realized that what made Malaysia so unique wasn’t the locations or the food. KL’s soul is you and I, and all the people who live together in harmony,” said Liong.

Team member Ana Nur Hidayah added, “I’ve been staying in KL for years but I’ve discovered so many places and done so many things within these two days in the race that I’ve never done before! We had a great time navigating the city with the Nokia N95. The experience we gained during the adventure was invaluable. I’m very excited about the win and now I’m looking forward to discovering the soul of Rome!”

The Nokia N95 Wireless Adventure is a unique campaign aimed at giving technology savvy urban explorers the rare chance to discover the soul of their local city through the use of the powerful capabilities of the Nokia N95. It is the first Nokia Nseries multimedia computer to leverage a built-in global positioning system (GPS) along with high-speed connectivity to allow consumers to search for and find their way to their selected location.

TM's ONE-MILLIONTH STREAMYX CUSTOMER CELEBRATES WITH FELLOW WINNER OF “ONE-IN-A-MILLION”

“I must say the feeling is very surreal and it never occurred to me that I’ll be chosen as the one millionth subscriber. I often do plenty of online research and reading, and started my Internet voyage by first subscribing to Streamyx hotspot service. Since using it for several months, I find it very convenient, as there are numerous hotspots around the city. Then about three weeks ago, given that I’ll be furthering my studies, I decided to subscribe to the Streamyx 1.0 Mbps package for home. For me, it was my initial experience using the service plus the added convenience offered by TM that further encouraged me to subscribe,” said Iskandar.

Meanwhile, 28-year old Ng Win Wei, the Most Loyal Streamyx Customer also received a similar HP Compaq Presario laptop plus additional goodies from the Streamyx Rewards Programme’s participating partners. These rewards include RM200 pre-reload in PosPay account, Commerce Takaful Berhad Accidental Death & Disability insurance coverage for six months worth RM20,000, a three-month Fitness First gym membership worth RM900, a one-year subscription to O-Health Magazine and American Home Assurance Company, Malaysia (A member of American International Group, Inc) personal accident coverage up to RM100,000 for 12 months.

“I'm pleasantly surprised. I definitely did not expect this to happen. I only found out that I was chosen as the Most Loyal Streamyx Customer when I arrived at Menara TM this morning. I’ve been using Streamyx since it was first introduced and continuously upgraded my connection speed with the introduction of new packages. As a student, I was already using TM Net’s dial-up services back in 1998. I have had consistently good experience with Streamyx service and from their customer support. The recognition of Streamyx as the premier broadband service provider has made me a fervent and loyal subscriber,” he said.

Introduced in April 2001, Streamyx reached its 100,000th customer in December 2003 and hit the half a millionth broadband customer mark at the end of 2005.
