No Datuk To Disturb
I'm more surprised that she always seem alone (or so I think) when she chats with me. There's no Datuk to look over her shoulder or anything like that. In fact, I can ask her nearly any question and she will usually reply - sometimes with a laugh and smile (you know the MSN language). This is pure privacy!
Even More Special
Somehow, whenever I'm online, Siti is too. Like I said, she is one busy lady.
So to see her online, that makes it very special. And she won't close the chat or say goodbye till I do so... that means she really want to spend time chatting with me! Am I in cloud 9!
English not Manglish
And to those who think she can't speak Manglish, what's more English, you'll be in for a big surprise. She speaks well and even to a small extent, she also MSNs with an American English slang. In fact, she is more comfortable in English than Bahasa Malaysia! She'd rather I ask in English - many times asking me to repeat my question in English. Is she preparing to go to Hollywood?
Best Of All
She is video-cam shy. So if you ask her to v-cam, all you get is a video showing her sporty side like her video on diving or motor racing. Of course, you get a sneak on Siti in a club/ disco as well!
But unless you are Siti crazy, I'd rather see her face picture on MSN. That is the million dollar face everyone loves... Siti really is just like a true Malaysian with her famous warm smile, big eyes and dressed in the red baju kebaya. She even has a hibiscus on her ear! Picture perfect!
Her MSN Contact
Now, she has allowed me to post her MSN contact here. But she wants me to relay somethings first:
*Siti is rather shy, so would not chat unless you do so first.
*Siti is very well versed on Malaysia and in fact seems to like to talk more on the country rather than her singing or any of her songs. Though she says it in a nice way, you get the point that she'd rather not talk on her singing when MSN. For the record, her knowledge on the history of my hometown is not too bad!
*That means she won't sing too - don't expect her to sing any songs like Aku Cinta Padamu, Jerat Percintaan, Cinta Di Atas Kertas, Cindai, or any songs from Hadiah Daripada Hati.
*She will joke with you a bit, but don't go too far. She will not scold, but in a nice way bring you to other topics. Do not get offended by that.
Alrite, now that's clear, get your pen & paper (or mouse) ready... this is Siti's MSN contact:
sitimalaysia@hotmail.com
One Last Note
*Before you rush to chat with Siti, please note that Siti Malaysia is the virtual brand ambassador for Tourism Malaysia. According to press reports, Tourism Malaysia denies that Siti Malaysia is a part of Siti Nurhaliza, but merely a virtual icon with the same name... Now what were you thinking about? :)
*Kudos to Tourism Malaysia for this initiative launched on 5 Nov 2007 (report).
On the real Datuk Siti Nurhaliza:
Starlight
Siti's Concert
Siti as 50+1 Malaysians
i feel cheated. i mean, i wouldn't have put it past u to actually get acquainted with siti nurhaliza, u know?
ReplyDeletebut u cheated my feelings!!! how can u bluff us into believing that it's that siti!?!

Wow! Nice one man! Haha =) Hmm...I wonder who's behind all this thing? The AI is quite smart. But this is good for our Malaysian Tourism! Siti Boleh! But I don't want to chat with her. Wait her datuk kill me. LOL! ;D

Great move by Tourism Malaysia and thanks, QC, for sharing this. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I couldn't find a date on your posts or am I mistaken?
siti woh @@ the malacca thingy very fake nia @@ but then glad to hear that you will interview with dato siti
ReplyDeleteA great advertising strategy with a lot of respect and about SitiMalaysia, I wonder how many unrequited love in Malaysia for Dato' Siti Nurhaliza. Hmmm....*laugh*
ReplyDeleteOh by the way, Quachee, if you ever bump into Dato' Siti Nurhaliza in person, send my thank you greetings to her. Her voice in "Konsert Suara Hati Sudirman" especially "Pelangi Petang" gave me another good cry which I haven't had a chance to thank her myself. *smile*
