'Klasik Raya' At Sunway Putra Mall

Its that time of the year again, and what is there really to not love about the Ramadhan festive season? Sunway Putra Mall launched their Klasik Taya named after the contemporary classic decorations to enlighten the festive season  for 2016. Taking centre stage, located on the main concourse is a 60's theatre (also known as 'Panggung') surrounded by quaint vintage shop houses, a vintage car and oil lamps to complete the 60's environment.

I'm thankful to be invited as their media guest with 30 Yayasan Chow Kit (YCK) children for an early Raya celebration. Classic songs were played as I arrived, and it really felt like I had travelled to the pass. The colours and lights were an attractive attraction, attracting many passers-by's to stop and appreciate the ambience.

Signalling the launch at the panggung, we had a moment of Lights, Camera and Action to officially launch the Klasik Raya initiative done by Sunway Putra Mall for their customers to enjoy the festive season. The crowd was entertained with some classic pop dance movement featuring nostalgic songs like Mambo, Bila Mama Pakai Celana and others which were the hit in the 1960's.

But i guess the official highlight of the day was that we had a special appearance, Greyson Chance and Nik Qistina to welcome the festive season at Sunway Putra Mall. With the crowd screaming and yelling over the performance, it was really nice to have such a memorable moment to see these amazing stars in person and up close!

Sunway Putra Mall also officiates a Food Bank, a corporate social responsibility campaign initiated by the management and the Touching Lives club Association, where the campaign aims to encourage shoppers to donate nonperishable food items to the less fortunate as an act to support and also help them during this festive season. I was told that this campaign will run until 2017 and the first collection will start from 20th June to 26th June 2016. Donations will also be distributed to Pusat Jagaan Lambaian Kasih, Sg. Penchala before Hari Raya.

The launch ended with Tan Sri Razman and his wife giving out Raya Packets to the children of YCK to brighten up their day, followed by a buka puasa session with members of the media, partners and the children of YCK to enjoy a memorable buka puasa at Sunway Putra Mall.

With so many activities going on, Sunway Putra Mall offers screenings of P.Ramlee's best known classical films throughout the festive season such as Bujang Lapok, Tiga Abdul, and Madu Tiga to name a few. So if you happen to be in Sunway Putra Mall, be sure to check out the screening from 10am to 10pm on selected dates which I will state at the end of this post. Shoppers will also be entertained with dance performance inspired from the 60's, fashion shows, art and craft sessions and card designing for the festive season of Raya.

So what are you waiting for? Be amazed and mesmerised once you enter the realms of Raya Klasik at Sunway Putra Mall starting from 17th June 2016 till 10 July 2016. For more information please check out www.sunwayputramall.com for details.

[EVENT] Nivea Empower Run 2016

Nivea Empowr Run 2016

I think we all know that sweating is a natural part of the human function to keep out body cool and comfortable in order to maintain our average body temperature. Amazing how the body works, dont you think so? It prevents us from overheating especially when we are performing strenuous activities in warm or hot weathers. As good as it sounds, there is always a down side to it. When sweat is combined with bacteria found on our skin, sweat emits an odor that is not to our liking. But thankfully we have the existents of deodorants available in various sizes, scents and formula's to reduce on the odor issue we are facing.

Nivea's Pearl and Beauty

Choosing a deodorant that fits our personality best can be challenging, but with NIVEA Pearl & Beauty Deodorant, you wont have to worry anymore! The ingredients were carefully picked to be gentle on skin and it also contains precious pearl extract to nourish the underarms, providing fresher, smoother, and pearly-white skin. It gives 48-hours of protection against sweat and odor, ensuring underarm freshness as well as an all-day confidence boost so you wouldnt have to worry about your odor bother other people.

Balloons anyone? 

NIVEA has been encouraging women to pursue their aspirations and goals for many years, uncovering their potentials that lie within themselves that they never knew of. NIVEA has always been supporting women empowering initiatives by reaching out to the needy ones. They have support endeavors by providing them with skills and the confident to secure jobs which in return improves their living conditions with a brighter future.

Joining in the crowd with my tutu provided by Nivea

The NIVEA EMPOWER RUN 2016, organized by NIVEA Pearl & Beauty, aims to empower women by giving a chance to women to participate in the run which was held on the 5th of June 2016. Participants were given a running kit which were rather impressive if you ask me, as they have included the NIVEA Pearl & Beauty Deodorant spray, NIVEA Emppower Run t-shirt, tutu skirt, running bib and goods from watsons. Participants were encouraged to put on the tutu skirt provided in the running kit as a symbol of feminity and to strongly show that women can achieve anything even in their most elegant ways.

Participants enjoying the run

It was an amazing sight to see over 2000 participants who turned up before the break of dawn for the NIVEA EMPOWER RUN held at Setia City Mall. There was also a special appearance by, local celebrities, Atilia Haron a wel-known R&B singer and health enthusiast, Eyka Farhana an upcoming actress and model. Nadia Heng was also present who was the Miss Malaysia 2010, where she took the role as the emcee of the day!

The Pearl & Beauty Experience

Before the run, participants were given a NIVEA bio-degradable balloon which were released into the air once the race started to symbolize the act of defying all boundaries. During the run, participants made their way to a photobooth stop where they can snap amazing photos as a short pit stop. What excites me during the run was that they had an activity station whereby i had to go through the Pearl & Beauty Experience which i admit was pretty cool as the runners were rejuvenated with the empowering freshness of NIVEA Pearl & Beauty deodorant.

Nivea's donation to FORWARD

While waiting for runners to complete the 5km race, Atilia Haron gave a Women Empowerment performance to participants to show her support to the NIVEA Empower Run. Runners were given medals for completing the run and some lucky participants managed to walk away with lucky draw prizes at the finale of the event.  Personally, being a part of this event has definitely created awareness  for a good cause and of course the awareness of the existence of the NIVEA Pearl &Beauty. Profits were contibuted towards helping the poor and needy, where NIVEA donated to a charity organization 'For Wisdom & Revolutionary Development (FORWARD)'.

managed to get myself a medal too!

Empowering Women has always been a campaign which i will show support to. Looking at my mum, as role model, has made me realize that at the end of the day, every women actually has capabilities to reach for their dreams with a little encouragement. So with the Nivea Empower Run, NIVEA has definitely given encouragement to women from different background and personalities to believe that their dreams are achievable. I do hope NIVEA organizes more meaningful events like these in the near future. For more information on NIVEA, please visit www.nivea.com.my or www.facebook.com/mynivea.

With the latest collection being super breathable, lightweight and designed to perfection, there is no doubt that you will feel like you're on top of the world with Triumph lingerie.

Close up shot on their Shape Sensation Forever Young collection

Getting the chance to see the collection up close, I have to say that it was crafted to guarantee the highest comfort levels to provide you a spectacular Summer in 2016. The range is generally everything your favourite lingerie should be, which includes sensuously surrounding your body in extremely lightweight with perfectly fit support, airy comfort and fresh beauty.

Loving the pastel colours!

The new collection boasts Triumph's star products feature's the Body Make-Up Light, Magic Boost Light and Shape Sensation Light where each of these collections was designed to impart specific features depending on the wearer's needs. Now let's get into some serious details on the collection.

The Maximizer range 

Embracing modern simplicity and an essential part of any fashion-conscious diva, the Body Make-Up Light collection possesses its renowned 'second skin; fit and smooth finish that has an increased bonus of breathability and extra lightweight cup design. The range features Triumps fabulous new Magic Wire technology that's hailed as the 'virtually invisible' bra. It has an innovative cup design that promises all the support of a wire with the feel on none. Imagine that? Wireless bras are in season now, especially highlighting the fact on how comfy they are too! These breathable cups increase airflow with its soft smooth fabric that ensures an incredible fit, making you feel like you're wearing nothing at all. Believe me, when I say nothing *wink

The Magix Spacer range

And if you're looking for a little attention, you can always enhance your Summer look with the Magic Boost Light range. It combines maximum cleavage with maximum comfort to flaunt your gorgeous feminine  curves (yeap, you know what I'm talking about). haha. In this range, it would be hard to say no to the magic boost that also features the breathable cups that is super light making it feel a boost in confidence as well.

The Shape Sensation range 

Other varieties available on the shape sensation collection

Last but not least would be my ultimate favourite when it comes to support. Ths Shape Sensation range focuses more on sculpting, firming and toning your upper curves, making it a must-have assortment to give you every possible advantage. With this 3D Sculpt design technology, its will be sure to give you the extra lift and slimming support, not to forget the breathability and light airy feel to be the perfect lingerie to complete your summer.

The makers of Lingerie from Triumph has designed with comfort and super light fascination to make it everything that you've dreamt of come true!

Mei helping me find the one by getting the right measurments.

The number of successfully fitted customers.

I managed to get myself fitted at their Mid Valley outlet and I'm loving the attention I'm getting from Mei for helping me find the one. I decided to give the Shape Sensation range a go since I think I need to focus more on giving support to my bust line. Also, a guilty confession that i have flabby sides which tend to show when wearing the wrong type of bra, the Shape Sensation provides the right support needed to get those flabby underarm lines to look unnoticeable.
