MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia 2013 heated up the Surf Beach in Sunway Lagoon on 8 September 2013 to sizzling levels despite the rain and featured a stellar line-up of all-male performers with Robin Thicke, Far East Movement , EXO and Joe Flizzow, who ignited the stage with a collective explosion of R&B, hip-hop and K-pop performances.
 
 
 
Joe Flizzow opened the night with an energetic performance of five songs (Iller Iller, Untukmu, All Around My World, Havoc and Who Do It Better), which included a collaboration with SonaOne and Altimet on Havoc.
 

 
    
 
This was followed by EXO who got all the females in the audience into a wild frenzy when they glided, danced and howled through throngs of fans during the show-stopping performance featuring Wolf, History, 365 and Growl.
 

   
 
Far East Movement (FEM) kept the energy level up with a twelve-song medley that included Ain’t Coming Down X Wild Things, Like a G6, Illest, So What, If I was You, Jello, Change Your Life, Rocket, Get Up (Rattle), Rocketeer and Live My Life. Fans sang along with Rocketeer, which they remixed with Alicia Keys’ No One, and FEM climaxed their performance with crowd favorite, Turn Up the Love.
 

   
 
Closing the show was Robin Thicke, who was accompanied by three female vocalists. He delivered a sexy, soulful and fun performance of nine songs, including Give It 2 U, Take It Easy on Me, Feel Good, Oh Shooter, Lost Without U, Shaking It For Daddy and Blurred Lines.
Thicke encouraged fans to never give up their dreams even if it comes later for some, referring to his new-found fame that emerged recently with the hit “Blurred Lines”. He played an emotionally-charged rendition of Dreamworld in true R&B fashion. Chart-topping Blurred Lines was the obvious audience favorite of his performance, with fans singing alongside with him. He ended his performance with a display of fireworks in his final performance with Clique.

Dessert @ de Jouer 140313


[Fashion]
In November last year the MHB blogger and I attended the launch of de Jouer – https://timchew.net/2012/11/05/de-jouer-launch-011112/ at The Venue in Pavilion KL.
This time round de Jouer (which means ‘naughty’ in French) invited MHB to attend their exclusive Summer preview dessert party themed ‘Dessert & de Jouer’ at the Third Floor Gallery of JW Marriott Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on 14 March 2013.
Before the launch of de Jouer Summer 2013 collection we stuffed our faces with loads of desserts and the girls even went to enjoy a special hand massage session by BMIC Salon.

MHB’s Louise, Sarah, Linora, Mynn, Yvonne, Stephanie and Emma
Desserts galore!
Inspired by summer moments and the love of being playful, de Jouer Summer 2013 featured three collections namely Sensational, The Pure Collection, and Heart Breaker.

After the show we crossed over to Pavilion to attend another event and Andy Kho took the opportunity to shoot the girls ‘Sex and the City’ style

These three new collections will be available in summer 2013 and comes with prices ranging from RM35 to RM88:
The Sensational balconette push-up bras give women a captivating lift and comfort with its underwire cups, thus providing a perfect shaping. Made of nylon and spandex, the range is a stunning fit with super-soft twinned straps. Its edging technology for a near invisible under clothes look is essential and simply irresistible. Pieces in this range are available in pink/nude dots with grey lace and leopard print with black lace.
 
The Pure Collection is the brand’s softest and most comfortable push-up bras available. The underwire cups give a moderate lift girls love, padding that contours to body curve, almost to a flawless fit, featuring a light-as-air moulding technology. The super-soft cup linings and lacewings provide comfortable but sensual feel and will not show under clothes. Made of nylon and spandex, the range comes in nude/pink dots with black lace, pink/white stripes with white lace and black/nude dots with black lace.
 
Heart Breaker now comes with the all-new plush padding for a more natural and softer feel. When the underwire cups give a moderate lift and thus a flawless cleavage, the range makes a great compliment to low neckline outfits. Made of imported nylon and spandex, the pieces also feature edging technology for a new invisible under clothes look. The satin straps are fully adjustable. Inspiring more sensual shapes, the pieces in Heart Breaker range is available in red cup with black lace and black cup with red lace.

Janet and I recently visited Tatto at 157 Hampshire along Jalan Mayang Sari in downtown Kuala Lumpur to try their upcoming Valentine’s Day 2020 menu. The 5-course set menu is available on 14 February 2020, priced at RM399+ per couple.
Walking into the establishment, you’ll be transported into a warm and elegant restaurant with dark wooden furniture befitting a venue that’s most suitable for romantic dates. The pizza oven in the corner, as well as the wine cellar and lounge add to the whole ambiance while the long L shaped bar is conducive for pre/ post-dinner drinks.
Tatto is a friendly Italian restaurant and bar which first began in 2009 along Jalan Damai, before moving to the current location some years back. Tatto prides itself as being a modern ItaIian restaurant with a Malaysian touch, with Chef Jue helming the kitchen. Tatto is a rather large restaurant with multiple sections, and is suitable for a host of different occasions, be it a business lunch, a romantic candlelit dinner, birthday/ anniversary celebration, or even a casual night of pizza & wine at the bar with friends.

STYLO Asia Fashion Week – 5 March 2016


[Fashion]

 
The theme for the second night of the Mercedes-Benz STYLO AsiaFashionFestival 2016 which was on 5 March 2016 was “Battle of the Sexes”, which began with introductions to the “fighting concept” by Datuk Nancy Yeoh, President & CEO of STYLO International and Chairman of MBSTYLOAFF and Mark Raine, Mercedes-Benz Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“Tonight’s theme – the Battle of the Sexes, is a playful take on the age-old conflicts and interactions between men and women. Tonight we will witness whether women are truly deserving of the term “the fairer sex” in their bid to come up tops in battle. The Battle of the Sexes theme then continues throughout tonight’s show as we line up 3 menswear and 3 womenswear designers together in a showcase battle of fashion creativity”, said Datuk Nancy Yeoh.
Fashionista Dato’ Kee Hua Chee then took to the stage as referee for a 3-round MMA-styled match after which WONG’s AW 2016 collection of monochrome streetwear, dresses and jumpsuits started off the six designer showcase of both men’s and women’s wear.

Signing Ceremony between HWL Jewellery Trading Sdn Bhd and Swarovski


[Event]

  
Stephanie and I attended the signing Ceremony between HWL Jewellery Trading Sdn Bhd and Swarovski on 25 January 2017 at the Hotel Istana in Kuala Lumpur. HWL Jewellery Trading Sdn Bhd, has been active in the Malaysian jewelry industry for over 30 years, serving over 600 jewelry retail shops across Malaysia.
At the event, HWL Jewellery Trading debuted a new brand name called C88 Premier for the line of products that will be collaborating with Swarovski, utilizing only the highest quality Zirconia (synthetic diamonds) from Swarovski. HWL Jewellery Trading believes this will be a game changer in Malaysia’s jewelry industry as it is the only company in Malaysia that will be collaborating with Swarovski for its Zirconia and Gemstones line of products.
HWL Jewellery Trading was founded in 1985, with the name of Hup Weng Lee Jewellery Trading Company, carrying the brand CAP88. In 1997, the company was registered as a private limited company (Sdn Bhd), known as Hup Weng Lee Jewellery Trading Sdn Bhd, while maintaining the brand  CAP88.
In 2009, the company was renamed as HWL Jewellery Trading Sdn Bhd, with the brand changing to C88. That same year, HWL moved into the Menara Perdana industrial building in Georgetown, Penang, with their own jewellery processing plant.
2017 was a significant year for HWL with the co-branding collaboration with Swarovski – the renowned international company that producing gemstones of the highest standard.
 
 

  
C88 Premier has strict quality control in every single manufacturing process which is possible due to the company having their own jewellery production plant. Their diamond-standard quality stone setting craftsmanship is usually only commonly found in premium jewelleries, especially diamond jewelleries because of the complexity and the long hours of work involved.
Each and every prong – which are the so-called ‘teeth’ that are holding the stones in place) is carefully crafted and features a smooth and polished surface as compared to standard quality techniques which will leave scars and marks which leads to rough and dull surface. The gaps between each and every stone is identical, and the placement of the prongs features parallel and symmetry dimensions.
The company achieved the above thanks to the constant outlay of investment on machinery and new technology to ensure continuous improvements and innovations in their product offerings.
The collaboration with Swarovski provides C88 Premier with endless possibilities, thanks to Swarovski’s wide range of innovative gemstones designs and colour choices. We got to view the latest range from C88 Premier, and the company promises that more creations and innovations are to come.
