I attended the DiGi Angels Internet Gathering. It is all thanks to DiGi and Nuffnang (not forgetting the bloggers who can’t make it as I was next in line).
It was held at Grand Modestos and it was pretty much my first time there, so I kinda got lost finding a parking for this event. Fortunately I was able to check twitter and twitted @dustyhawk about the parking and so I got myself information of where to park.
Upon parking I headed in to feel a lil lost. But fortunately I saw a few familiar faces and was asked to have a seat. I was seated next to @dustyhawk or known as Serge at the same table where Michelle was sitting.
Fuuhh, luckily I got a table to sit. And lucky enough to be seated with very friendly people. But things warmed up pretty fast from there on.
As soon as I got my ass on the chair, I started taking some photos. I got a photo of this board that was already in Grand Modestos.
I also got a photo of the crowd who came earlier than me. It was quite a crowd. The crowd continued to grow.
I was also evil enough to get a photo of Michelle (who is caught without make up).
Here are a bunch of smartphones that were on display. One of which is the prize for entering the DiGi iPhone 4 contest! Of course I am not one of the finalist. The smartphones includes:
- BlackBerry Curve 9300
- BlackBerry Bold 9700
- HTC Aria
- Garmin Asus A10
- iPhone 4
There were 5 finalist who were in the running towards winning an iPhone 4 and those 5 are:
Magdalene Lim – http://magdalenelim.blogspot.com
Mohd Faridzul – http://joegrimjow.blogspot.com
Wan Mohd Ameerul – http://mirocornerz.blogspot.com
Lee Hui Yen – http://stephy-lhy.blogspot.com

When they were announcing the winner, it did not cross my mind to take my camera and take pictures, so there isn’t any pictures of the winner. But my table was reminded when we wanted to eat the starters to take pictures before we start to dig into the food. So here are a few pictures of the starters~!
Mushrooms.
Followed by black pepper tuna.
Salmon on toast.
Thin sliced chicken breast with sauce (I am not sure whether the sauce is tuna or salmon).
After the starters, Timothy Tiah was invited up to give a short speech. Before we started some games that would earn us points in winning some goodies from DiGi. It was certainly fun~!
Again, bloggers at my table were so preoccupied with trying to win the game that we forgot to take pictures. Again, I was at fault, I have to start making it a habit to take pictures. After the strike a pose game, more food came about, but nothing to shout about except to shout that “THE PORTIONS ARE SMALL~!”. Quick shout out to Grand Modestos, portions are a bit on the small side. Here is more picture of food~!
Pasta.
Chicken with brown sauce.
It was during when they served the food that they announced the winner of the iPhone 4 from DiGi. And the winner is *drumroll*

He is the proud owner of the iPhone 4 from DiGi beating more than 2,000 others who joined in this contest (myself included).
More games along the way until the end of the DiGi Angels Internet Gathering whereby bloggers are chosen to review the smartphones seen earlier.
There are:
3 BlackBerry Curve 9300
3 BlackBerry Bold 9700
3 HTC Aria
1 Garmin Asus A10
2 iPhone 4
up for reviews. But I was not one of the fortunate ones to review those beautiful machines. There is a chance to win the phone you reviewed for the following phones:
- BlackBerry Curve 9300
- BlackBerry Bold 9700
- HTC Aria
And I am not one of the lucky ones to review the phones. But, I am fortunate enough as DiGi and Nuffnang are opening the opportunity to others to review the phones. But it is only open to those who attended the DiGi Angels Internet Gathering.
Now lets see some pictures of me with the bloggers at my table.
Here would be @dustyhawk aka Serge and myself.
This would then be Suresh Ryan and myself.
And this is Jamie Liew and myself.
There were another two bloggers, TianChad and Edwin at my table. Unfortunately did not get the opportunity to take a picture with them, but I am sure I would get the chance in the future.
And some of the bloggers are really young, but also there are some who are older than myself so it was not too bad.
I hope to get my hands on the BlackBerry Bold 9700 to review.
Now a big shout out to DiGi and Nuffnang with tonnes of thanks for the invite and the opportunity to attend this event~!
p.s. I stolen a shot of Jamie Liew as I had learnt from @dustyhawk aka Serge.
