It was a fantastic Saturday morning as participants thronged the USM’s Auditorium 1, USAINS, Eureka Complex.

The tips and guidance provided by the speakers were valuable to most of us as it gave us a more detailed view on the do’s and don’ts of bloggers in cyberlaw.

The speakers - Mr Foong Cheng Leong shared with us on  Bloggers & Copyrights Laws

Mr. Stephen Tan Ban Cheng on the other hand, shared about Bloggers & Defamation Law

Special thanks to the moderator - Mr. Khairul Anuar bin Shaharudin for his entertaining speech.

Besides the speakers and moderator, Eddie Law - is the next great person that we should thank for making this forum a successful one! And not forgetting to USM for sponsoring the venue!

Now, let’s cut the story short and let the pictures speak for itself on how wonderful the event was.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO…! YES! You guessed it RIGHT! It’s the Exabytes Movie Day - The Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen at GSC Gurney Plaza in PENANG! Only 5 days left to the day of showing, and many of us at Exabytes are desperately fighting to contain our excitement to see Autobots roll out and fight! At the same time, we also can’t wait to meet our movie lovers-cum-loyal customers who we haven’t met for such a long time!

So do you ‘man in blue’ still remember the deal we sealed in the previous invitation email? YES! We have a mystery gift awaiting you and what you need to do is just dress in blue on the day itself. Ticket collection starts from 10.00am and while it’s highly recommended that you bring along your sweater and have your tasty popcorn, please don’t forget to also bring along your CONFIRMATION LETTER for ticket redemption!

Now if you would excuse us, we’d like to go sort out the blue shirts we will be wearing on this coming Sunday! See you guys there!

Father’s Day is around the corner, a day which is dedicated to honour the significant role of fathers around the world. While mothers are best known for having the tough job of juggling the demands of work with household errands and children activities, fathers are honourly known as the breadwinners for the families. This may not hold true in many modern families, for modern dads do a lot more than that! Not only they serve as educators, mentors and even friends to their children, they are also very important role models in the families. They may not have that melting and seraphic smile of mums, but we all know that behind that facade of indifference and strictness, is an extremely caring, warm and gentle heart.

Exabytes cherishes this special occasion which honours and commemorates fathers, fatherhood and male parenting. Wishing all fathers out there a fun-filled, meaningful and unforgettable Father’s Day from all of us at Exabytes!

Attention movie patrons!! Grab your weapons and fasten your seatbelts! Are you ready to witness the battle between Decepticons and Autobots in the ancient city of Egypt? Are you ready to rumble with Decepticons while seeing how Steven Spielberg unravels the secret to the origin of the Transformers and their history on Earth?

Thousand apologies to you movie addicts who are not selected to this special occasion of the year. Your response has been overwhelming and we can only select as many among you as we can. However on the bright side, there will be another Exabytes Movie Day in KL at year’s end. In all sincerity, we encourage you to try your luck again next time!

For you selected patrons, you should have already received your invitation card in your inbox. If you haven’t, please check your junk mailbox, just in case the email has been filtered out. It is with the title “Exabytes – Transformer Movie Day Invitation Card”. You will find the invitation card attached in pdf format. Download the invitation card and print it out ya. We will need the invitation card on the day itself.

So people, are you excited for the coming soon “Transformers – Revenge of The Fallen” show? I bet you are! It is such a great movie. Even watching the trailer alone sends my adrenaline pumping. I am waiting anxiously… how about you?

See you soon guys!

More than just your average ranting blog, hongkiat.com is one of the most talked-about blogs in town. Started back in 2007 by local mover and shaker Lim Hong Kiat, a famous Malaysian blogger, web designer also developer, hongkiat.com is more of an online-bible than a blog for readers with passion in design and tech. From content to tips, hongkiat.com is all about helping readers with useful design resources and tech tips.

It all started with his strong love for writing and the urge for keeping up with the start-blogging-already trend that was overpowering the cyberspace then. Being the generous lad that he is, he simply thought of sharing the abundant tips and knowledge that he has in designing and updating his peers with the latest technology updates – just for fun-reading. Somehow words about his useful blog content travelled across the blog community fast like fire, and what started off as a hobby has now turned into almost a full time profession. Since then, hongkiat.com has been growing rapidly, attracting millions of readers of all kinds in the world, and has even been dubbed as one of the most high-trafficked weblog on technology and design in Malaysia, and perhaps Asia.
