LINE T-Shirts made from Korea only if you download LINE app into your smartphone



LINE Malaysia T-Shirt




LINE is certainly a distinctive social media app when come to local contests. No social media apps come closely to this approach if I have been asked the question about LINE associating with local contests. Have you seen any apps giving out TV and Smartphones for a contest ? For example, The recent LINE held FIFA World Cup contest, many lucky LINE users took home stuff they like. Don believe me ?? Check this proof at LINE Malaysia FIFA World Cup contest winners


Most of the social media apps such as Beetalk and Wechat, they had distinctive advantages over other smartphone social apps. Beetalk is more emphasizing on group chat and shaking to small chat with strangers. Beetalk Malaysia has pretty Hanis Zalikha to be part of their Beetalk advertisement video clip. They have more than 100,000 likes in their Facebook page. Beetalk generally communicating in Malaysia language rather than using English.


On the other hand, LINE Facebook page certainly has more than 100,000 likes in their Facebook page too. They have this wonderful feature called " official accounts "where big brands such as McDonald, Airasia, Sony, Nokia, Upin & Ipin, 8TV, Lazada, KFC are promoting their products to LINE users who had subscribed to respective brands. For example, John subscribed to KFC official account in his LINE apps installed in his smartphone. He will be able to get latest KFC promotions without doing anything. It will show up in your smartphone and you will see the KFC promotion first when you wake up to see the clock. Well, if you do not like it you are always welcome to cancel subscription.   







" LINE Event " is another good stuff worth to be mentioned. All the promotion held by LINE Malaysia you will get all of them in one place. I got two free LINE T-shirts by joining LINE contest which the contest information appeared at LINE Event.  

Although this event is over, it does not mean you will miss those opportunity in the future but if you do not install LINE apps then you will get zero chance to own any LINE free gifts.

LINE is one of the most used instant messaging smartphone apps in Malaysia to communicate with friends and family. On June 12, 2014. LINE Malaysia division started a contest for those who are using LINE apps could vote their favorite team. For example, Brazil and Croatia match on June 13, 2014 started on 4AM-6AM Malaysian time LINEBOLA is one of the platform for you to predict who will win and stand a chance to win some prizes.

The tricky part will be so many people voted the Brazil you will notice the differences as statistic showing that Malaysian favored Brazil will win Croatia at almost 80% vote against Croatia. As a host of World Cup 2014, there is reason to believe Brazil will win due to Brazilian team will have advantage on adapting the weather and crowd of fans sitting at high platform were mostly support and cheer them.

The prediction for Brazil will be the winner is fulfilled. Neymar and Oscar of Brazil team scored 3 although there were 1 goal by Croatia but it was not the case apparently it was a mistake by Marcelo in Brazil team strike a goal mistakenly to his own goal gate. In fact, Croatia gained first ever goal in FIFA World Cup 2014 versus Brazil with the help of Marcelo mistake.

So who will be taking away LINEBOLA contest prizes ?? It is still unknown LINE Malaysia did not showed who were the winners . I guess we still need to wait a little longer. The accumulated prizes worth RM100,000. The prizes is included smartphones, flash drives and tablets.

Astro Shaw made a game app inspired by the movie Apokalips X aired on local cinema on April, 2014


Login with your facebook account to save your game scores and unlock the feature to compete score with your friends



Speaking about local game app we are not aware we actually can make a good game or either we have such a talent to develop a good smartphone game app?

No such things that Malaysian does not have the talents. We have plentiful talented young smartphone app developers. 

The game app is named as "Larian Maut" Have you figure out how is the overall game content ? It actually like pyramid escape but more excitement. I called it as escape & slashing game category. It is not just escaping and jumping obstacles. It actually slashing bad guys off the screen as the bad guys will slow you down and big bad guys from behind is rushing to caught you.

Most of the time you are running in the game but you actually have extra fun. Let say riding a motorbike and utilizing super slashing move. Besides, the game mechanic is top notch. Do not expect you can buy new weapons or upgrading your gears but you actually can unlock new character to play.

I will give score of 4/5 because it game graphic is eye-catching and plentiful of wow factors. Definitely worth you to download it is only 40 MB. Moreover, I do not seen any heavy ads built-in the game.  




So much to catch up if want to enter top 5 in leaderboard
