Proposal in the sky // 360 video

Remember that proposal video i posted earlier? If you dont, why dont you hover over here, to just remind yourself. hehe. And well guess what! Theres another version of it and its the first 360 video proposal in the world! How crazy is it to be the first few to watch a proposal video with 360 video features? 

Screenshot of the video

Maxis Dinner in The Sky 360 Video is the first 360 video proposal in the world featuring the real life event of Khai proposing his girlfriend as well as the first brand in Malaysia to produce content in 360 innovative formats. Check the video out below: 

Personally, i think what makes this video special would be that you get to see the entire surroundings of the proposal. With that gorgeous setting, dont you think it gives you a feel of being on cloud 9 with all this romance happening? And i think Khai is really lucky to have Maxis to help him make all of these happen. 

Well, congratulations to the lucky couple and i do hope that my proposal would be as memorable as this lovely setting. Who cares of the view, when you can be the view? Proposals are getting even more fancier by the year, and i think this has made a mark of its own. Its gonna take a while to plan anything thats more spectcular than this. 

Till then,

ORIGIN 2015 | Raffle's 34th Graduation Fashion Show

Fashion enthusiast, turning dreams in a reality, congratulations to the Fashion Designer graduates of Raffles College of Higher Education! I was honored to be invited to attend their 34^th graduation showcase, titled ORIGIN 2015.

Being a fan of the arts, I was glad to be able to witness their final designs, which really impressed me as their designs are very professionally designed in so many levels. Its no wonder that Raffles College has one of the best fashion design students, by allowing the students to embrace their creativity skills, and to put it out in a form of fashion.

Attendee's of the day: Shana, Mary Jane's Step Mother, Mary Jane, mua and Miriam.

It was held at JW Marriot, right across Pavillion, and everyone who were present at the event were all in their best dressed outfit in fancy gowns and in their trendiest designers outfit. For a second there, I really thought I was at a grand fashion show, and it really was when I got to see the collection of their students. Their designs really made head turns as the concept was well brought up to embrace the artistic conceptual design.

I’ll stop blabbing now as I know you’re looking forward to the designs that were insanely intense! Coming from a background of architecture, just looking at their designs could really inspire you. Its no wonder that even some architecture can be related to fashion.

| PARADOXICAL |

Nana Ooi designed this collection, where her masterpiece of grandeur is formed after destruction of an ancient. As serenity, purity, and balance echoes through, this design resembles a center point for relation between human and god.

| SENSHI |

Next up would be by Erica Lim. Her concept was to strive for perfection, when perfection is impossible. When you have the passion and enthusiasm, nothing in the world will stop you. The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire and when you set yourself on fire, people love to come and see you burn. Celebrating uniqueness through the words, the action and the choices we make.

| PSYCHEDELIC |

This designer came all the way from Indonesia, Tania Saraswati and her design was based on hallucination. You decide if its reality or fatality.

| LA BELLE EPOQUE |

Marie Nardelli, who came from France, decided to design her collection through the terms of power, elegance, beauty, promiscuous and androgynous. These are the main characteristics that make a courtesan woman and the beauty transfers through elegance which gives women upmost power and riches. There are courtesans of the rich and famous and attract the wealthiest and most powerful men of their society.

|  WHERE ARE YOU, PAPA? |

Quek Sh’un-Linn has  a little miss sought for the attention. A mysterious collection which had a deep meaning to it. All in white and immer

sing herself into shaping her papery friends.

| INFERNO |

Next would be by Aneesa Alsagoff where she was b y Moritz Waldemeyers 1000 Flames. The ideas was from an installation of parabolic mirror that reflects digital flames from its hexagonal surfaces. A jewel like beauty combines the charm of a candle light and geometric lines.

| MOVING THE LIFELESS |

This triggered me to be inspired the most. En Chi Khoo revitalises building with motions. Frank Gehry and one of his signature masterpieces, the dancing house.  The creation of exaggerated movements, conventionally geometric and asymmetric, pleases the eye of the beholder.

| DISTORTED REALITY |

Lee Hui Mein was inspired on trying to break down and dissect this perceived reality by offering visual cross-sections that pry open further realms, encompassing the human experience at micro and macro scales. This attempt to get a deeper truth has truly exposed an underlying existential framework that completes our deceptively limited view of reality.

| THE SmoG |

Killer of a thousand or possibly more, Ng Jin Ying has created something which enters our veins with only one intend to harm. What do you think of this dark mysterious collection of hers?

| PAINFUL HAPINESS |

Here Reiko Poon’s attempt to express that the sky has faded, the sun turned grey, that’s what it feels… a part is lost.  A collection to those who was once a part of love that turned into hate. Sorrow is streaming down her cheek and she knows no way to stop it now. However, someday she knows she can.

| UNTAMED |

Niki Tan has created an amazing design which was heavily inspired by the movie “The Wild One 1953” that portrays the rebellion of a lost generation against anything that forces them to conform and abide by the rules of the generation that controls them. “Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere; and sometimes, in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself. Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.

| ETERNITY |

Lee Huei Wen decided to paint a canvas of conveying her feelings in through for her loved one.  Strung alongside with the man of her life, they play a beautiful tune.

| MAMA, I CANT SLEEP |

Michelle Li Yuan has ben seeking for some sleep, a dream in the clouds, hoping to sleep without fear. She count the sheep’s from 1 to 20 in this collection.

The event ended with the judges announcing the result on the best 3 fashion designers of the year. But of course, that doesnt mean that the rest we're equally as good. I think everyones collection was absolutely stunning! Presenting to you the designers who impressed the judges, congratulations!

Ng Jin Ying | The SmoG

Chi Khoo | Moving the Lifeless

Sh'un Lynn | Where are you Papa?

Just a step back from everything, I would say that these designers are more than ready to take over the fashion industry! There’s so much love and passion that was put into their work that it looks like it was created and design with thoughts of every single thread.  Stunning pieces to be considered to take over the fashion world.

Whats a fashion show, without an #ootd right? hehe 

All these designs made me felt like I needed to do an advance diploma in fashion designing. GOOGLY EYES! For more information on Raffles College of Higher Education, do visit their official website at www.raffles.edu.my or www.facebook.com/rche.kl. Hoping that you enjoyed the collection as much as I did.

NEW Systema 3D Clean launch

As of now, having 7 toothbrushes which were carefully designed for customers.

We all know that we take a daily routine of tooth brushing for granted because we may not understand how its suppose to be done correctly. Not only that its important to brush correctly, but its crucial that you use the right toothbrush in order to ensure that your teeth and gums are well taken care off. The right toothbrush determines if your decay causing plaque is properly removed.

With so many varieties of toothbrushes to choose from in stores, it does cause a confusion of deciding on either the function or on how it looks will determine which toothbrush is better. We usually assume what is the best toothbrush, but least that we know that not all toothbrushes are the same.

Officially launching the NEW SYSTEMA 3D Clean Toothbrush.

Recently launch, the new Systema 3D Clean toothbrush was launched and it was a quantum leap in the prevention of periodontal disease as it introduced its first patented 0.02mm tapered toothbrush that penetrates deeper into the hard to reach areas of in between teeth and gum lines with the ability to clean the gum pockets without traumatising the teeth and gum lines. YAY to gentle brushing. hehe

It has been said that in comparison to normal toothbrushes, the tapered bristles have the ability to clean 9 times better and also reducing brushing pressure by 66%, leading to a more effective yet comfortable clean.

Mr Takashi Ohno, giving a speech

We had Mr Takashi Ohno, who is the Director of International Product Innovation Department from Lion Japan, who attended the launch and said "Lion Japan believes the most important part of a toothbrush is the bristles. For healthy teeth and gums, a toothbrush must clean beyond just tooth surfaces but effectively all parts of the teeth especially the difficult to reach gum lines, back teeth and between teeth, yet is gentle on the gums and teeth." 

Dr Naoshi KAnamaru sharing his opinion to audience.

The event continued with a forum discussion where dental expert Dr. Sean Paul and PhD Reseacher of Oral Care, Dr. Naoshi Kanamaru shared their knowledge on the importance of choosing the right toothbrush and how it improves your personal quality of life. 

Dr Sean Paul said " Brushing doesnt need to be hard as plaque is naturally soft, the most important in effective brushing is the interdental areas and using a toothbrush that is tapered to be able to reach between narrow gum lines and between teeth, which results to a healthier smile". Very well said by Dr Sean Paul if you ask me. hehe

Today, Lion Japan introduces another innovative invention in toothbrushes - Systema 3D Clean. This is the first ever advance tapered brsitle toothbrush with 0.02mm Multi-Cleaning 3D bristles and a tongue cleaner that is designed to fit and clean every part of your mouth, including the tough to reach areas. Ensuring that you have cleaner teeth, healthier gums and fresher breath.

SYSTEMA 3D CLEAN // 5 Multi-cleaning ability:

+ Spiral Power Top Bristles

power tip to reach back teeth better to scrape away more plaque

+ Shorter Center Bristles 

to clean tooth surfaces and chewing surfaces

+ Longer Spiral Middle Bristles

penetrate better in between teeth

+ Longer Outer Bristles

penetrate deeper into gum lines to remove 9X more plaque

+ Tongue Cleaner

to remove food coating and bad breath causing bacteria from toungue

With that much of detail being thought of for a toothbrush, its no doubt that this toothbrush will not disappoint you. They even tested it among toothbrush users, and 86% of the users found it to have better brushing performances than their current brand.

Held in conjunction with the launch of the SYSTEMA 3D Clean is the SYSTEMA "Start Right Brush Right -Healthy Teeth for Life" campaign. So if you happen to be around One Utama this weekend, be sure to drop by their roadshow which there from the 30th of September 2015 to the 4th of October 2015 in collaboration with AEON. You'll even get to try out the brushes while youre there! hehe.

Shoes For Women | MUST HAVES

Photo Credits: Google.com

When it comes to shoes, shoes can create such an impact to determine the whole look of an outfit. To complete a look, one has to wear the right pair of shoes. I mean, seriously, you can wear a simple print dress, or just jeans with a plain tank top, and when you pair it with sneakers, heels, sandals or gladiators, it defines your entire look instantly!

There are plenty of shoe designs available in the market, individually comes with its own character. There is a saying that I’ve heard of which sounded something like this, ‘too much shoes is never enough’ and ‘ give a woman the right pair of shoes, and she will conquer the world’. These saying triggers me to buy shoes every time I walk by a shoe store. Haha. So yes, the ladies would have to agree with me that when it comes to shoes, pick the one that gives you the perfect boost of confidence. Give a woman sports shoes, and she’ll run a few miles. Give her a pair of boots, and she would go for an adventure, give her heels, and she would make your jaw drop. See what I mean?

So, apparently I have a list of three gorgeous shoes for women that they must have at home. Just to make things more convenient of course, these are the 3 main pairs that would create an entirely new image for yourself. If youre thinking of changing your style but not change your entire wardrobe, well, let the shoes be the solution to that! Hehe

1 | Statement Boots

I have to admit that I am a sucker for statement boots. They always spice up my outfit and if you’re a fan of a bohemian trend, statement boots is the way to go! Statement boots add an extra dramatic effect, and you can never go wrong with boots, believe me. It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a dress, a bodycon dress, jeans, shorts, just anything goes pretty well with boots. Boots are now available in many styles, from embellished with studs, laser cut style and buckle design, and more! I believe that every woman needs at least a pair of badass boots to flaunt.

Glitter high heels will get you to feel stunning and glamorous effortlessly! Let your shoes do all the talk, while you wear your comfiest evening dress at dinner parties, a special night or at formal events. This could be your cheat when your rushing to dinner from work. Feel and look like a million dollars when youre in these pair of shoes.

3| Pretty Lace

And last but not least, some things cant be forgotten. Laces has always been a statement on its own.

Laces will always make you feel special in so many ways, that’s why its also a top choice for brides on their big day!

So ladies, tell me which one is your favourite and why? Don’t you agree that heels are one of the most important accessories to any outfit? I SAY YES! Well, im gonna end my post here, so that you can think about where to get your next pair. Heres a hint, its available online, and it starts with a Z. If you really want to know, leave me a comment below and I’ll tell you my little secret. *wink
