Haunted Restaurant
Wizard World Theatre Restaurant at Sungei Wang Plaza is haunted. Something different here as customers can have their meals there and drop in at the 4D haunted adventure portion of the place to experience frightening moments. Hopefully they don't vomit. There are 3 different types of 'scare' level - the Gory, Scary, Not Scary Tour. You decide how much you want to be frightened.
The restaurant is owned by Believe It or Not Sdn Bhd, the operator of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and Haunted Adventure in Genting Highlands as well. To display a gory place, the restaurant has Gothic-styled lights, tables with claws and rivets, eerily painted walls.
Special drinks are concocted with eerie names like Beautiful Spell, Handsome Spell and Incredible Spell. (source: The Star)

The Apprentice - Malaysia's Version
table with 2 of his assistants firing young guys/girls out of the reality show.
Malaysia will be having their own version called "The Firm".
Malaysia will just follow any good shows for instance out of Wheel of Fortune, came Roda Impian, American Idol gave birth to Malaysian Idol and was it Who Wants To Be A Millionaire .........
Words are being passed around town, yeah it even reach the Sudanese desert as well, looking for participants. The reality show will be shown on NTV7 eventually and 10 guys/girls at ages from 21 to 35 could go for an interview. You are lucky that you got this message in my blog. Because if I was in that age group, I would have kept this info for myself. Lesser participants, more chances of winning. I'm stingy? Greedy? No, the show has begun even before the start of the real one....... mua hahahaha. Since, I would have passed that last age of 35 by just few days on the closing date, I'm letting this cat out of the bag for you guys/girls to have a go at it. Remember, to post a thank you message here if you were selected after reading this info.
Apparently, the CEO for the show has not been found yet. The secret CEO will be like Donald Trump, thrashing the participants. Actually I could suggest people who are good in thrashing human beings but they are not CEO qualities lah.
Prizes? Oh yes! Heard that there are cash prizes, maybe even a car (lots of difference between a local car or a non-local car) and a job opportunity in that secret CEO's office and more prizes being worked out. The secret CEO could be even your current CEO.
Visit NTV7 website to obtain more info and the application form. The closing date for application is 26 January 2007.
