My grand prize - a trip to Graceland, Memphis Tennessee 2003

Here are photos taken from my trip to Graceland, Memphis Tennessee way back on 13 Sep 2003. The trip along with accomodation was the Grand Prize from the BMG/Lite FM Search For Elvis 2002.

My wife & I had the opportunity to visit Graceland in reality, and to explore Memphis town, commercialized with Elvis-mania.

Guided tour was done via a personal audio player with pre-recorded naration indexed to each exhibition area. Elvis had a huge collection of guns and cars, apart from his concert costumes and gold records in the hall of fame.

Elvis Presley was the first artiste in the world to own a private jet. He named it after his wife, Lisa Marie.

Our journey ended with a week-long stopover at Orlando, Florida, where we conquered Universal Studios themepark and Disneyworld. The entire trip was just wonderful :)

Are you ASEAN's Best Impersonator?

In June 2010, Red AMP (RedTix), an entertainment division of AirAsia, organized a lookalike contest in Facebook - "Are you ASEAN's Best Impersonator?"

Submitted entries came from various countries, and the winners are chosen by a panel of judges after being shortlisted as the top entries with highest online votes. Well, I submitted an entry - me as Elvis posing with a Harley.



Recently, I received a message from RedTix... I'VE WON THE FIRST PRIZE!!! It's a RM500 travel voucher for Air Asia flights. Awesome.
What's more, it's a real cool title, adding on to my accomplishments to date.

"Are you ASEAN's Best Impersonator?" Yes I am :)
To all who voted for me, thank you ... thank you very much.
