November 17, 2009 in Experience | Tags: monsoon cup, sailing, profressionals, fun, exciting, challenging | Leave a comment

We had briefing from the Monsoon Cup champion, Peter Gilmour and of course, we were taught the basic rule of safety (the thought of falling into the water came into my mind). But anyways, it was pouring, the water was high,cold and muddy (as we were near the coast), the wind was blowing madly and I thought we were not ready to go out in this weather.

We waited for a mere 15 minutes for the rain to slow down, the wind was blowing and we were wet before we can sit on the boat.

After that, we went sailing on a F36 sail boat made from New Zealand in the pouring rain. I was on the white team in which another professional, Dave Mills act as our guide. He assigned me to pull the rope, in which im steering based on the ’sail’. It was really challenging, having to pull (have to be strong),having to look at the wind direction and mind you, it’s all water on your feet and it was raining (which was kind of hard to open my eyes).

Hence, i really felt like i was in the Monsoon Cup race (thanks to the wind). It was an experience that i will never forget. It was tiring as i used all my body parts but definitely something in which i thought i can and will never do but i did it!

We were so proud of ourselves when we beat Gilmour to the finish line.

To get an experience similar to mine, i have a solution for you.

Just join the Firefly “Sail your way to Monsoon Cup” 2009 on http://blog.fireflyz.com.my

So, grab that chance and sit on the boat when they race. Plus, Firefly will also sponsor your flight to Terengganu for FREE! all you need to pay for is your accommodation in which it will definitely be cheap in TGG.

I’ve went sailing, how about you?

Join now! It’s FREE anyway.

Do you have people telling you that you’re hot? You think you’re hot? Then this week’s Firefly Review episode is just for you. This is the hot chance to win hot tickets and be at the hot seat of the hottest race in Malaysia, the Monsoon Cup race. Of course it’s all happening in the hot Terengganu. Read on to know how to be HOT!

I 

love Terengganu for many reasons. I’ve been there many times for different reasons but I never have enough of beautiful Terengganu.

This is the place with beautiful islands and beaches.

Friendly locals.

Amazing local cultural specialties.

And of course delicious local food.

It’s the only place where people call me differently. In Terengganu occasionally my name became Encik Azuang.

It’s also a place where I can proudly say “I’m going out late night with my guy friends to see some eggs being laid” without getting any suspicious looks.

****

I was planning for a trip to Terengganu for a short breakaway when I stumbled upon the ARE YOU HOT ENOUGH? CONTEST on Firefly’s blog!

I cannot believe my eyes. Through this contest Firefly is not only giving away free return tickets to Terengganu but also a chance to be part of the Monsoon Cup! As if watching turtles laying eggs is not attractive enough, now Firefly is giving away this chance of a lifetime to be on THE HOT SEAT of one of the boat in Monsoon Cup.

Hot seat is the most coveted spot for a non-sailor during the Monsoon Cup. It’s an experience to be on the boat to witness first-hand how a team works together to outwit its opponent. This is the next best thing after being a team member itself!

This is a chance to end the year with a great experience and I’m going all out to participate in this contest. There are 4 seats to be given away so I’m urging all my friends out there to join this contest. It’s super easy to participate. Surf on to Firefly’s blog and answer two no-brainer questions.

I’m never good with slogans and there are so many reasons that make me love Firefly. So I started with listing the obvious ones and striking it off one by one.

I love Firefly because:

A) of the pretty stewardesses that treat me as if I’m flying on my private jet.

B) because of their dynamic scheduling and cool destinations that makes flying more fun and affordable than driving to destinations across Malaysia.

C) because Firefly recognize bloggers and its cool to have my article published on their blog every week.

D) because its so convenient to fly point to point without wasting money and time driving to airports away from the city.

E) because they did not invite me to join the glamorous FY Nite (Ok, I’m kidding on this!)

None of the above sound good enough that can win me the Hot Seat.

So I kept thinking about ideas for the perfect slogan for many days and nights….

While at work

In the car

While sleeping.

Until just minutes ago, I finally found the right reason why I love firefly.

I LOVE FIREFLY BECAUSE………………………

Of course I’m not telling anyone yet.. :p

At least if I do not win I won’t have people laughing at me for having such a bad slogan.

Sail you way to Monsoon Cup now! Click here for more details, terms and conditions and the contest submission form on Firefly’s Blog. Send in your entry before Nov 22nd, 2009.

On second thought, don’t participate, the less entries, the higher chance for me to win

Come and be part of the battle!

The Monsoon Cup is a yacht race held in Terengganu. The tagline for the race is: “You wouldn’t want to miss it.”

Yes, it’s that exciting!

The Monsoon Cup was first initiated by former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to promote Terengganu. The former Prime Minister thought that the monsoon season should be used as an advantage rather than being seen as a disaster. After the initiation, the first Monsoon Cup was held in 2005.

The Monsoon Cup is the tenth and final event on the World Match Racing Tour 2009. 12 of the best match racing teams will meet at Pulau Duyong, Terengganu from 2 to 6 December 2009 to race for the highest prize in the world, RM1 million. Once again the battle for the championship trophy will see the top sailing teams in the world pitting their skills against each other in the last leg of the tour.

Want to be a part of it? We will let you know how soon. Do stay tuned with us to find out how.
