A Day Out with the All New Honda FREED

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Last weekend I was at the Advertlets outing with the new Honda FREED.

We got to test drive the new Honda MPV from KL to Putrajaya and back and had lotsa fun! Free food too! ahahhaa

The moment I arrived at Soul’d Out, Hartamas, which was the gathering point, I was surprised to see a fleet of them FREEDs outside. Woot!

Everyone was then asked to join the briefing and breakfast session in the restaurant. We were briefed on the features of the new FREED and were given details on our outing journey.
According to them, the FREED is in it’s own category, which is: A Mini Premium MPV. It is fitted with the 1.5 Honda i-VTEC Engine that gives 118PS at 6,600rpm, 114Nm at 4,800rpm.

32 Advertlets bloggers were there. Didnt have the chance to camho with all of them. Here are Ellie and Ewin.

Also met Arystle and Jing Chong.

We then started off our journey to Putrajaya! The whole trip totaled up to 80km, which means all 4 bloggers in the FREED got the chance to drive 20km each. The organisors also provided lots of snacks and drinks in the MPV for us to enjoy. BEST!

The convoy stopped at the 20km mark to exchange drivers. We then took a JUMP shot! :D:D:D:D All 4 of us were in the same car. Ewin, Rames, Ellie and me.

The fleet of 8 Honda FREEDs then resumed the journey.

There was a polaroid camera in the MPV too! That’s cos they had a contest for us to submit our most creative shots to win some prizes at the end of the day.

We finally arrived at Putrajaya. Games and some activities took place.

One of the Honda crew was my ex-classmate! ahaha hello Monique!

A group shot of all the bloggers and Honda crew.

Ewin drove the FREED back to KL. Check out the speed yo!

Nian Gao at Ewin’s!

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Ok one of the last visits during Chinese New Year few months ago… was to Ewin’s house! Some of us were invited; Mynjayz, Bryan, YvonneSim, Leonard, Yinxie, Jon and me.

We were chillin in his room. He then showed us his collection of yoyos. FUAH! We all were shocked. hahah. Memang Yoyo Sifu ni.

Aunty were kind enough to prepare some hot and sticky “Nian Gao” for us to eat. Nian gao is like some sticky glutinuous rice thingymajig which symbolises “progression”… good luck in Chinese beliefs.

Super nice! The nian gao tasted a lot better when warm and dipped in coconut.

Ewin’s dad is a gym instructor and he has a lot og body building equipments at home. He was showing us some gym materials and equipments and got us excited and wanted to try.

He then guided us on some exercises. ahahha

We had fun la overall. Learnt some stuff about building body.
