1. This one comedian and film maker, Mark Malkoff, really thinks out of the box to create a buzz!

   He moves in to an Ikea store when his apartment is being fumigated for cockroaches. His life there is documented by a camera crew who follows him every where.

   Although it’s very spacious there, he has one problem, nothing is real in Ikea! The sinks don’t work, and neither does the toilet, refrigerator, flat-screen television or the washer and dryer. He must shower in the staff locker room and cook his own meal at the the staff cafeteria.

   You can watch his movie at his site, MarkLivesInIkea.com, which is strategically equipped with his Facebook and MySpace’s link.

2. I also notice another bizzare buzz creation by Burger King. Burger King did an experiment to discontinue Whopper and documented all of their Whopper lovers’ reaction!

   Yes, their official site, WhopperFreakOut.com shows the video, as well as the option to embed and send the video.

Do you have other example of buzz creation that’s really out of the box? Let’s share it with all of us!

The check-in officer in Jakarta told me that I could pick up my son’s checked-in umbrella stroller along with my other checked-in luggage in Singapore. But when we arrived in Singapore, we waited for long time and the stroller never came up. We asked one of the staff there and she said that the stroller was supposed to be picked up at the gate, just after we went out of the flight.

Wow, what a conflicting information between the Singapore Airline’s ground officer in Jakarta and Singapore!

To make a long story short, the stroller was lost , so I reported it to the lost and found. The lost and found promised that the stroller would be delivered yesterday but it was not delivered yet until now.

There was also another thing that upset me. The lost and found officer said that lost stroller often happens because each airport handles luggage differently. If they know this, why don’t they anticipate and prevent strollers from getting lost?

Worse, every time I called the lost and found hot-line, it was always answering machine… Noone answered the phone.

I can understand and accept this horrible experience if I fly with low-fare airlines but I fly with Singapore Airline.

Oh well, I’ll just buy a new stroller today since we really need a stroller. It won’t be the same one because the lost stroller got some accesories from my son’s grand parents (my parents) that they bought overseas…

I wonder if you ever have unpleasant experience with airline companies?

Once in a while one must have a vacation with his family, so I’ll have a Christmas vacation with my family in Singapore for a week

Where do you do for your Christmas vacation?

There’s nothing wrong with my IP address… I can login to all of my other Wordpress blogs, including this one.

Since they’re all hosted on either BestHostGator.com or BlueWebHost.biz, I’m convinced that the problem is not caused by the web hosting.

Worse, the troubleshooting page, this one, suggested me to get FireFox (through their AdSense link). I’ve been using FireFox all of the time!

It also suggested me to get antivirus and firewall, which I’ve been using all of the time and always been updated.

And if it doesn’t fix the problem, it asked me to contact the administrator, which is me. How do I fix this problem or error that I don’t know what the cause is? I’ve never even installed this security software in my Blog i360….

I swear I’ll migrate my content from this Blog i360 to ordinary Wordpress after this problem is resolved and I won’t use Blog i360 anymore! I only used Blog i360 because it was suggested during UYMG Singapore 2007…

Can anyone please help me fixing this problem? I really need to login to my blog desperately…

Dede, an Indonesian fisherman, is infected with rare virus, Human Papilloma Virus or HPV, that makes “roots” grow in his hands. He’s unable to do any household chores, got sacked from his job, and left by his wife…

It’s almost been 11 years since this virus infected him.

Here’s a video interview of him. He hopes to live long enough to see his grandchildren…
