Hitz.fm DJ Ean gets high

17 Aug – Celebrating the release of Disney/Pixar's latest animation "Up," Tropicana City Mall in Petaling Jaya was the place to be last Saturday as radio personality DJ Ean from Hitz.fm was successfully lifted up using only rubber balloons! Weighing in at 75 kg, it took a total of 910 balloons (size 2 feet) to lift the man up to about 30 feet in the air. Commenting on the experience, Ean said "I'm a man who's afraid of heights, but this was really worth it! Can you imagine being lifted up by balloons? It's crazy man." Soon it was DJ JJ's turn to be lifted up and then followed by members of the public at no charge.

Plenty of "Up" movie merchandises and preview passes were given away by the Hitz.fm morning crew DJs, JJ and Ean. Aside from that, the event also ran a contest where the person with the closest guess to how many balloons it will take to lift Ean up will win a trip for two to Perth, Australia and experience a hot air balloon ride.

From the Academy Award®-nominated team of director Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc.") and co-director Bob Peterson comes "Up," a comedic adventure taking off on 20 August 2009. Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life. "Up" takes audiences on a thrilling journey where the unlikely pair encounters wild terrain, unexpected villains and jungle creatures.


Waiting anxiously for his big take-off.

Up, up and away!
