Thank you for making the PJ Challenge ‘09 Blogger’s Karnival a success!

Thanks for coming! Over 150 bloggers attended the Blog 411 sharing session with bloggers, and we were happy that we could teach over a hundred new bloggers how to blog in the Blog 101 Beginner Class.

Not only that, 4 laptops were given out during the Blog 411 session as prizes for the Live Blogging and K.O Quiz Session! Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Acer. It even got into the papers - click here to view Ellie’s newspaper scans of the event coverage in The Star and The New Strait’s Times.

Thanks also to Kaspersky Lab, MBPJ and the Association of Backpacker’s Malaysia for making all of this possible in the first place. And especially, thank you for coming - it couldn’t have been as happening as it was without you!

We’ll be compiling a list of blog posts about the event and posting it here. Were you at the event, blogged about it would like to be included? E-mail us at info(at)advertlets.com and let us know your link?

Advertlets Presents a screening of ‘The Proposal’ this 20th July!

From the director of ‘27 Dresses’, comes a great new comedy this July! Advertlets is proud to present a special screening of “The Proposal” this 20th July at the all new GSC Tropicana City @ Tropicana City Mall.

THE PROPOSAL
Genre: Comedy
Cast: Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Malin Akerman, Craig T. Nelson, Mary Steenburgen, Denis O’Hare and Betty White
Director: Anne Fletcher

Trailer:

When high-powered book editor Margaret (SANDRA BULLOCK) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she’s actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (RYAN REYNOLDS), who she’s tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family (MARY STEENBURGEN, CRAIG T. NELSON, BETTY WHITE) and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.
