MIGF 2014: Taste MIGF @ Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre
Yesterday’s heavy downpour didn’t dampen the spirits nor the festive flair for the opening Gala Night of MIGF (Malaysia International Gourmet Festival) 2014.

Traveling with my 32″ RIMOWA Salsa
If you have been following my Instagram and Facebook you would have noticed the large grey luggage bag that has been my loyal traveling companion.
Grey is not exactly my colour, but I opted for practicality over aesthetics this time. I get a heartache each time my luggage bags got scratched or dirty.
No amount of scrubbing could get it looking like new again.
Malay Mail: Fashion articles
I do love fashion, and wish I have more time to explore, read and write about it.
When I was assigned to some fashion stories I was more than eager to learn and talk to some powerhouse in the local fashion industry.
I knew about Earth Heir from a friend, and I hunted both partners down for a quick chat.
I found out soon enough that both Sasi and Ee Leng are great, inspiring women. And as Sasi spoke about her brand and her vision, I felt myself drawn to her stories and her ambitions to reach out and help the less fortunate.
You can read about her story here –> http://manage.mmail.com.my/story/ethical-bespoke-earth-heir-77744
Earth Heir’s range of handwoven silk scarves start at RM160, while the hand-stitched clutches starts from RM480 and the necklaces are from RM450. They are located at the Square Room in Bangsar Shopping Centre.
Malay Mail – the Laureus World Sports Awards 2014
I have never heard of the Laureus til a good friend John (who’s an absolutely sports fiend) told me about it.
Even then I wasn’t particularly interested though I’m quite a sports person myself. The Laureus was more like an event, not so much about playing a sport and my interest in sports has always been about participant and doing; not so much as a spectator.
But I mentioned about it to my editor, and she got excited for a lifestyle angle to the story (since the Malay Mail sports desk is already sending a rep) and asked if I could secure a pass for myself.
Leveraging on the vast pool of contacts I’ve got, I said I’ll try and I did.
To cut a long story short, I got media passes for myself and Joanna; a skilled photographer for the job. Joanna fancies Benedict Cumberbatch very much, which so explains the amount of photographs of Cumberbatch from the event. LOL!
Writing about concerts for Malay Mail – Avril Lavigne, Il Divo & Bryan McKnight
I’m not a huge fan of concerts and raves and I usually ignore invites to such events. These invites are largely due to the fact that I am a blogger and the PRs/organisers who bestow the invite would expect a post event write-up.
It’s not that I can’t write a concert review, but I felt that not many readers are actually interested in such content, and most bloggers take the easy way out by just posting 20 photographs of themselves and their friends parting the night away.
To me that’s not a story worth writing.
But when I started my freelance gig with Malay Mail I realised soon enough that my dear Editor would send me to all sort of events and assignments. There are concerts, there are phone interviews, face-to-face interviews with celebrities and there are prestigious events like the Laureus World Sports Awards 2014.
Good lord, I do feel like a true journalist then. 🙂
My first concert assignment was Avril Lavigne. I didn’t really enjoy it as she was quite underwhelming considering her reputation.
I told my editor about my thoughts and she actually said that that’s ok, do write what you think. And thus my not-so-favourable review of Avril in KL.
