7atenin9 - Acuvue Define Media Launch

(Blog Update For November 16th 2006)

Lovely people from RantauPR invited Jack and I over to the launch of Acuvue Define here at 7atenin9. I'll talk more about the place later and the gourmet! But for now i'm kind of in a rush...so here's bits and pieces of what had happened at the event last few weeks ago.

The table setting is very nice, the theme was blue since Acuvue's corporate identity is blue in color.

Not to sure how they made these blue leafs, but i reckon these were either colored or ... ermm real?

Really comfy chair - never felt so good before!!!

Soong Ai Ling is the spokesperson / ambassador for the Acuvue brand and is now presenting the latest range of Acuvue Contact Lenses.

William Quah, the host / emcee of the day together with Ai Ling.

Forgotten who these people were...but hey i'll check the press release soon!

Not forgetting the belly dancers who were here to launch the event. The one in the center is the mother of the two other dancers on stage.

VIP Tickets: Malaysian Premiere - Happy Feet

(Blog Update For Mid November - Happy Feet Premiere)

Being in the media / entertainment industry, we get a lot of priviledges and it is only wise to share those priviledges with friends, closed ones and those around you. But there are only so much of tickets you can give away.

This time around, I had 10 VIP Twin Seats tickets which allows the bearer and a friend / partner to sit at the best seats in the house which is situated at the top of the hall, with headrest fully comfortable sofa kinda chairs and removable divider / arm rest.

And i had only taken a few extra normal seats passes to be given away as-well. The tickets were given away to selected few - those who got the couple seat tickets are very lucky as there were only 10 couple seats in the hall.

Lucky few of my friends who got the twin seats are Ruzy, Kish, Stephen and his GF, Mikel, Jo, Scott, Jonathan and Joel. Some other exclusive seats somewhere around the top tier of the cinema were given to Nicholas, Cindy, Paul Levine and Josh.

A few other friends that I invited namely Jack, Steph, June n etc...weren't able to make it for the movie :(

There was once where i had about 40 over passes to be given away - i had quite some difficulty giving it out, most of my friends said yes at first then in the end half of them didn't turn up for the show. Ended up me spending quite a lot on phone calls. So yea...if you guys know that we're running a certain promo for a movie that you may heard of that's going to have a premiere. Do drop me a line or sms to ask for tickets, i'll be more than happy to share the tickets.

Still remember the American HIT TV series back in those days (a few years back)...FRIENDS. Everyone used to talk about it, all the different seasons and all...but now??? What happened to them? Well now people talk more about Desperate Housewives, LOST, HEROES and etc...

I really do think that "FRIENDS" actually made an impact about how everyone reacts to their friends and how they can stay closer to one another by understanding each other.

So...as for an example - I bring to you the newly formed "FRIENDS" - the Malaysian Version. Hopefully we can produce this and broadcast it under 8TV or something...

FRIENDS - the Malaysian Version is all about the lives of 5 friends living separate lives, different believes and different walks of life. But still - they take care of one another, there for each other although there are some differences and all. Ups and downs - tough times...but still everything falls back to one thing "FRIENDS"!!!

Nothing can break this friendship between them...(PS: Those who wants to sponsor for this show please msg me).

Now - back to regular programming...

Group photo of half of my friends who were there this night...couldn't take photos anytime earlier as i was quite busy. Featuring our VIP tickets!!!

Andy Saiden - one of our former Xfresh CREW, more senior than me!!!

Nicholas Yeo - bro!! you're always there although u need to take care of the flying birds in the sky!

Invited Stephen Lim and his girl-friend. As his GF wanted to join the movie, i offered him the best seats in town - that no one could ever resist. The Couple / Twin seats right at the top.

Josh and Jonathan were there too. Not too familiar right...

Scott was there too for the movie - he laughed so much in the film.

Invited my great friend Ruzy and Kish for the movie as well. She's a TV host @ 8TV and Kish is also a HOST...can't tell where tho :P

Ms. Rachel - she'll love everything that's PINK!!!

FCUK is now French Connection

(Blog Update For 8th November 2006)

FCUK is now known as French Connection - after its rebranding party last 8th november @ 1Utama, one of its flagship store here in Malaysia - French Connection is the new name to the hip n trendy FCUK that many has known for many years.

This change, the rebranding of FCUK to French Connection was co-ordinated internationally to all their branches around the globe. Although the time frame wasn't exactly the same, i'd say that it takes time for everyone to get around in doing it.

We were invited to attend the event - surprisingly all of a sudden there's so many fashion show these past few weeks. Crazy isn't? Rebranding parties, cocktail receptions and etc...

Something new in the collection..

Models before the fashion show...

Malaysian Idol #1 made an appearance here at French Connection...

Alcohol was served...but of course i don't drink :)

My former client from Sony BMG but now is at another company...

Jack trying out the new collection by French connection. I think that really suits him well.

Classy and yet fashionable - something i'd wear...i know William my content editor at Xfresh would.

Wanna wear this to college? Go ahead...it's real nice!!!

FC's new logo on their range of belts...

We had our dinner at Oldtown Kopitiam - Nissin Noodle Jack's.

Paul and I tried the Nasi Lemak instead.

hitz.TV Blitz Weekend [Chapter 3]

(Blog Update For 4th November 2006)

Last chapter for the hitz.TV Blitz Weekend Party - not going to go any further than 3 chapters...eitherways there's nothing much that happened here actually. But there were tonnes of celebrities who made an appearance, local artists performing....although everything on the day was delayed by a few hours which made the show delayed...

Made quite a big impact on the arrangements for the artists on the day. Most of them were only allowed to either perform 1 or 2 songs instead of 3 songs (if i'm not mistaken). Towards the end of the day - every1 was asked to perform only 1 song...

Anyways - Serena C, Adam C, Ean, Rudy, Azura, Andy etc...made an appearance on the day - gave away a whole lot of prizes and all!!!

Local artist playing an electric guitar - not so sure what it is tho...
