HENNESSY X.O APPRECIATION GROWS 2014 – Chef Viet Pham from Forage Restaurant, Salt Lake City

This year, Hennessy X.O Appreciation Grows returns to enthrall connoisseurs with a gastronomy experience unlike any other.
As usual I’m honoured to be part of the X.O Appreciation Grows journey; this being my 5th, and I have my expectations set for three times James Beard semi-finalist for Best Chef: Southwest and “Iron Chef Winner”, Chef Viet Pham.

His credentials are solid and judging from the video below, he seems to be a very nice chef. Oh, he’s Malaysian too (though he’s not currently based in Malaysia).

Nu Sentral, KL Sentral opens and Sephora too!

The latest shopping mall in Klang Valley opened last week.

I was there specifically for the Sephora outlet launch and wow, there was a queue outside since morning.
The store is open to public at 3.30pm but these Sephora fans are eager to snap up the early bird vouchers. That’s understandable as Sephora was giving away complimentary RM100 gift vouchers for 1st 50 fans & RM50 gift vouchers for the next 150 fans!

Benedict Cumberbatch at the Laureus World Sports Awards 2014 – Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

I was assigned for a story for the Laureus World Sports Awards 2014.
Based on the feedback on my instagram, FB, FB page and tweets, it seems that the highlight of the event wasn’t so much the sports event, the awards or the sport personalities but the host himself – Benedict Cumberbatch!

Here’s a photo for you to drool over (yes, for fans only). He was barely metres away from my photographer Joanna Gough  (check out her FB page on her photography portfolio & services – https://www.facebook.com/GOUGH.asia)  and she managed to snap really fabulous shots of the stars on the red carpet that night.

Great job Joanna! <3

An evening at The Roof, First Avenue, PJ – The Signature, The Score, Malt & Leaf, Stratosphere & Play!

There are many ways to have a fun evening out with friends.

To usher in 2014, and to celebrate my achievements and win in the many races, competitions and my ultimate triumph in the reality show The Influencer by Nokia & Low Yat (yes, I got into the finals!), I gathered my 3 closest girlfriends for a ladies’ night out.
The itinerary is simple, we will head to ONE venue, and that one venue will keep us occupied the whole night with different experiences. I told them to dress up and be ready for a night of play and indulgence and leave all the planning to me.
