“Indulge to Win” One Million!

Wow…it is seriously getting harder and harder to access various websites here in China, and this includes my own site here!  China has got The Great Wall, and now they’ve got these increasingly steeper and all-encompassing “Great Firewall” for all of us to contend with!  It’s already impossible to log onto Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and other Western social media sites without a VPN, but I never expected it would become so agonizingly slow to even get to my own website.  Oh well…we do what we can with the tools we have been given, right?

Other than spending more time than I would like trying to weave around China’s Firewall, I’ve also had the pleasure to do a bit of traveling recently, and that included being invited to Kuala Lumpur once again.  Malaysia Airports had organized an “Indulge to Win” contest for airport shoppers at any six of their international shoppers.  The concept is simple…just spend at least RM 250, and you stand a chance to win an RM 1,000,0000 Shopping Spree.  And just the other week, I had the pleasure of announcing the big winner out of the seven finalists.  Needless to say, the “1,000,000 Indulger” was  more than happy to go a seriously major shopping spree at any of the various shops at the airport.  The other six finalists didn’t win the big grand prize, but I think they were also quite happy to win RM 10,000 each to shop too.

I always enjoy heading to Malaysia, and it was extra special time at KLIA with all these big time winners.  Once the festivities were over, it was time to get set for my first Men’s Health cover shoot in Malaysia.  I’ll plan to post up some of the shots from that shoot in my next entry.  Until then, have a good one and don’t forget to do some major shopping at Malaysia Airports cuz you just might be their next “One Million Indulger” next time!
