The Sunday Times XXXIII: Sights, sounds, thoughts, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

July 28, 2013 by thejessicat

 

Hi loves! Gosh, the past seven days has been such a busy week for me.

I just realized that it's been exactly a week since I've last blogged. Sorry for the absence!

 

 

Anyway, I've just got home from a long weekend of work and holiday in Ipoh.

Yeah it's a public holiday again, one of the best things about living in Malaysia, eh? Public holidays come in abundance haha! This time, it's Nuzul Al-Quran, a religious occasion commemorated by Muslims.

 

Yes, babyChivas, mommy's home.

Have you been a good boy while I was gone? smiley

 

So… let's get on with what made my week this time round. cool

 

Was requested to record a video for someone special for her birthday.

I hope you're not reading this because it'll spoil the surprise, I suppose LOL cheeky

 

Did my charity work for the week. This time, it's for Pathway 2 Society.

A non-profit effort to reintegrate ex-offenders/ex-convicts/ex-juveniles

into society by giving them a second chance at life. Check them out! yes

 

Had a pretty refreshing dip by the poolside.

 

Random photo on the way for my training at gym!

 

Those guns are ready to cry!

 

Another thing that made my week were smoothies.

Ahhhh yes, fruit and veggie smoothies! Can't live without them yes

 

This week's post-workout meals:

Seven nut muesli with green apples, milk and cinnamon

 

Organic cellentani with brocolli, garbanzo beans, egg white scramble and flax.

 

Wholewheat bread with peanut butter, almonds and garbanzo beans!

 

Organic wholewheat fusili tossed with zucchini, olive oil,carrots and flax.

 

Oven-baked salmon with diced potatoes, capsicums, egg-white scramble and garden peas

 

Stir-fried carrots, spinach, aubergine and chicken chunks

 

Peruvie Peruvian Grilled Chicken @ TTDI

★★★★★

Loved it. It gave me a good bang for my buck. Delicious and cheap!

Full blog feature soon.

 

My furkid Chivas always steals my cushion. Perhaps I should get him an actual pet bed of his own?

But then again, he sleeps and lounges about practically EVERYWHERE. surprise

Aku rasa, usahlah membelikannya tempat istirahat sendiri dah.

 

Oh since my cat seems to be very popular now, I figured you might wanna watch his antics for yourself

 

Weekends are best for your trusty ol' kicks, no? 

I love my worn-down sneakers, the Chuck Taylor Converse All Star high tops.

 

Weekend outfit of the day with granny. heart

I wish I was a stoic as she is. Her pokerface sends me chills down my spine.

 

Restoran Fai Kee @ Ipoh

★★★★☆

We had brunch here. A very popular place among the locals for noodles of pork, fish and drunken prawn.

 

I was overjoyed when I found my favorite Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) machine

tucked away in an arcade in Ipoh Parade called 'Molly Fantasy'.

 

12 rounds back-to-back came as no surprise. I was sweating buckets and panting rather audibly

up till a point where the people around me probably thought I was down with an incurable disease. Erk. blush

 

The Limestone's Fine Dining Restaurant @ Regal Lodge Hotel

★★☆☆☆

Saturday lunchdate. The place was nothing to shout about. And… really? Fine Dining? Not to me.

Full blog feature soon!

 

Random video after returning home from a long day.

Jul 25, 2013 | Nighty night!! ❤ by imthejessicat on Keek.com

 

Packed my gear and dressed professionally the next day for a heavy responsibility of shooting a wedding.

 

 

While the thought of holy matrimony has always been the last thing on my mind for the longest time, undertaking this task of shooting a wedding and making sure every memorable moment is recorded made me realize a few things that I've probably never thought of.

Prior to this, I've never really seen weddings in this light nor have I envisioned how beautiful a wedding can be.

Biar benar, begitu indah menyaksikan akad nikah mereka sehingga hampir menitis air mata! crying

 

Stole a quick selfie in the bridal chamber before I began the shoot

at Kinta Riverfront Hotel & Suites, Ipoh

 

With the stunning couple. Congratulations, Soon and Shirly! laugh

 

The very look on the bride and groom's faces, the merriment that filled the wedding reception, the congregration of old friends and long-lost family members coming together to celebrate a wonderful union, the expressions of both young and old, the nostalgia rising from speeches and presentations, the picture-perfect wedding photographs, the grand ballroom, the decorations, the wedding cake… and the whole celebratory shebang. heart

 

Wow. Guess I've never looked at it this way before.

 

One day, just.. maybe someday, I'll be a beautiful, blushing bride walking down the aisle in my gorgeous white gown, complete with a delicate veil and bridal train cascading behind me.

But it all seems so far away as we speak.

I've not even found my Mr. Right yet (No, I'm not looking for the time being!). Who will I end up spending the rest of my life with? Who will I end up growing old with? Could it be you? I'll never know. blush 

Walaupun aku tidak mencari pasangan buat masa ini, tidak salah jikalau aku bicara bahawa aku masih menunggu jodoh, kan? 

 

On another serious note, I've been busy with very important and legal papers this week.

Many were quick to assume when I posted it on my Facebook and Instagram but no, it's not a marriage registration.

Some of you have already accurately guessed but I'll only officially reveal and blog all about it when the time is right.

 

The end of the long weekend is over and so are the parties.

 

The long weekend was a perfect respite from the city. But for now, work beckons once again.

WIll be back in office tomorrow!  Have a great seven days ahead, you. cool

 

Much love,

kissJessicat

A grand charity ball & gala dinner night at ‘A Musical Evening for the Children’ by A Cut Above!

December 21, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

“Charity . . . is the opium of the privileged.” ― Chinua Achebe, Anthills of the Savannah.

 

Tonight certainly made that old adage crystal clear, as A Cut Above Group of Salons was set to deliver a night of love, music and kindness in its finest grandeur.

I was honoured to be invited to this philanthropic celebration, known as 'A Musical Evening for the Children' in Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa's Grand Ballroom.

 

My look tonight is influenced by the grace of Greek goddesses.

 

I was aiming for purity, grace and elegance and attended the evening donning white and gold

Here's what I wore to the event:

 

Accessories in gold & the white sequinned toga dress is from a boutique in Melbourne, Australia

 

I arrived the venue and was already amazed by the first thing I saw; the decorations of the building!

 

All set for an ethereal night ahead!

 

Upon entering the Grand Ballroom

 

The moment I arrived, Winnie dearest, the Chief Creative Director & Founder of A Cut Above had just begun giving her welcoming speech.

Great! Just in time :)

 

Winnie Loo addressing all her guests

 

She spoke of her aims of this ball & ultimately wanted us to enjoy our evening with her.

Just by listening to her speak, I knew she had high hopes for tonight and I could also forsee that it will be a successful evening; leaving us with beautiful memories and warmth in our hearts.

 

I was ushered to my table and took my seat

 

The celebrity emcees of the evening – Chui Leng and Baki Zainal

 

He had a really epic hairdo!

It was all shaved around the sides but had some sort of dreadlocks tied up in a long ponytail.

 

Before gala began, there was a cheque presentation to the Malaysian Children's Aid Society (MACAS)

As expected, the contributions, donations & sales from the charity was a success! 

 

If you can't see from the mock cheque above, the amount was an impressive figure of RM312,000!

 

That's an amazing figure, don't you think? But that's not all.

An auction for an exquisite piece of jewellery was held at the end of the gala! More on that shortly!

 

The main VVIP table

 

The very first entertainment of the night was a graceful performance of ballet dancing!

The children were decked in adorable animal outfits dancing in a nimble, yet sensual & languid motion

 

Moving to the rhythm 

 

These lovely children were from Karen Barnes Dance Studio, who danced to 'Symphony of the Forests'

Their moves were smooth, synchronized and executed in perfect harmony. Well done, kids! 

 

Next up, was our favorite nine year old songbird Crystal Lee!

 

She belted out several renditions of popular songs, ranging from the oldies/classics to the contemporary.

It was wonderful to see her wide range of vocals at such a tender age! 

 

This little songbird wowed us all with her confidence and melodious voice.

She actually looked really tiny singing her solos all alone on the huge stage!

 

See what I mean? :P

 

But she wasn't going to be alone any longer.

Her mentor, violinist Dennis Lau joined her onstage and performed an incredible duet with his prodigy!

 

They brought down the house with a mind-blowing version of Jessie J's Price Tag!

 

I couldn't help but to bop my head to the rhythm & sing along with them too!

 

A photo with Dennis and Crystal 

 

A stark contrast of musical entertainment soon followed.

Heavy bass filled the air! All produced not by the speakers or the sound systems of the event, but by the mere sounds coming from one's throat. 

 

 

I'm sure you've heard of beatboxing 

Koujee the beatboxer amazed the crowd with his remarkable and rather rare vocal talent.

 

Koujee beatboxing!

 

He then burst into a duet with Dennis Lau who once again, made his appearance on stage.

Their breathtaking combination of both vocals and instrumental talent got the crowd roaring for more! It was a very peculiar medley of beatboxing & electric violins but it worked so well! 

 

Koujee & Dennis Lau performing a duet

 

Among the tunes I managed to catch were Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling, Benni Benassi's Satisfaction, PSY's Gangnam Style and several more others all mashed up together in a seamless duet.

They even got down from the stage towards the crowd and personally entertained some of the main tables

 

We were next serenaded by Enfinity Academy's 14 student choir group of all ages!

 

After their heart-rending choir, the Glitterama Ladies Charity Group then stole the limelight.

They were dressed to the nines in embellished and flamboyant ball gowns with decollete necklines! 

 

The 24 beautiful ladies stood before us, ready to sing their hearts out in unison

 

Winnie was part of it too! I loved her ravishing mustard-yellow ruffled and bowed ball gown

 

It reminded me of Belle from Beauty and the Beast

 

These stunning ladies dazzled with us with not only their alluring beauty, but also their diversely distinct vocals in belting out various alto and baritone/soprano notes 

 

Singing with passion

 

We were captivated by their renditions of 'Phantom of the Opera' and a Whitney Houston medley of 'Greatest Love of All', 'Saving All My Love for You' and 'I Will Always Love You'. 

 

Award winning ballroom-dancers, Cecilia Yong & Alfred Choo complemented the Phantom of the Opera moment

 

It was plain to see that all the guests of the evening were having a ball of a time. 

What could be better than an exclusive gala of friends, food, music all in the name of good faith?

 

Sipping on my 3rd pint of Kronenbourg amidst all the chattering and catching up 

 

The next two notable singers to steal the show and wow us with their impressive voices were Vic Teo and Dina Nadzir of Malaysian Idol (Season 1) fame.

 

He had a very Michael Buble-cum-Il Divo vibe about him when he sings!

 

His deep and velvety voice worked the soul, swing and jazz numbers in perfect harmony

 

Dina performed a very cheeky Malay classic song & vocal pop

She executed it so well, befitting her bubbly personality!

 

I would know! As I religiously followed Malaysian Idol and loved her voice and demeanour since 2004

 

I was getting even more and more captivated by the line-up of entertainment for the night. 

It was such a luxurious and sophisticated ball of magnificent talents! 

 

Dama Orchestra soprano Rachel Tan performing the symphonic 'Think of Me' and a classical 'Time to Say Goodbye'

 

Just when you thought the next act would be another fine vocalist, the night surprised us with a twist

Next up, was a special appearance by the 16 finalists of the Miss Universe Malaysia  2013 pageant.

 

They strutted down the runway in a catwalk featuring the elegant, chic and feminine fashion designs of Bill Keith's latest collection. 

 

Sashaying down the stage

 

The winner of the Miss Universe Malaysia 2013 was Carey Ng (left) by the way!

 

She will be representing Malaysia in the Miss Universe pageant next year to compete with other winners from other 89 countries. All the best, and make us proud, girl! 

 

A bright red expression

 

The next highlight of the evening was a one-of-a-kind, show-stopping hair & fashion show.

Not even a slight hint of exaggeration! See it for yourself 

 

I held my breath when they walked precariously on those killer sky-high heels!

The eccentric hairdos I saw left me shell-shocked. They were very unconventional and was certainly a bold prophesy of future fashion conventions and standards. 

This could very well set the bar! 

 

 

This avant garde fashion showcase left me feeling like I was in some alter-universe of a galactic fantasy.

It was bold, and many never-seen-before gender-bending styles were brought to life.

 

The MCs of the evening then announced the results of the silent auction

 

Throughout the dinner course, a silent auction of an 18K Gold South Sea Pearl Necklace Set With Diamonds from Flower Diamond were being bid for. 

I don't have the exact photograph of the resplendent pearl neckpiece in question, but it looks similar to this

 

The final call of RM34,800 by Dato’ AK Nathan won the bid, 

contributing another immense amount of money to the proceeds!

 

He was personally called up on stage by Winnie as she publicly acknowledged his kind, colossal contribution

Winnie's & MACAS' gratitude towards him was expressed with a warm bear hug 

 

Spread the love!

 

Here are some photos of the night with friends and associates :)

We had a superb time catching up over dinner and the stellar entertainment!

 

Edmund and I 

 

Ben and I 

 

Leo and I 

 

Gim Ean and I 

 

Joshua and I 

 

Leo, Casey and I 

 

A night of music, talents and merriment steeped in love, kindness and compassion, was all what I had expected from A Cut Above's 'A Musical Evening for the Children' charity ball & gala dinner that night.

And true to its aims, the night was, hands down, certainly a memorable one. 

 

Here's a short video I made of the night! Watch it :D

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ7XihjSwnQ

Enjoy!

 

“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” 

― Mother Teresa

 

Winnie dearest and I   Doesn't she look stunning?! :D

(She's wearing the same pearl necklace auctioned for RM30K+ earlier)

 

I'm so glad all her hard work & efforts with her team was well-worth every sweat & toil for the past few months in planning, coordinating and executing a spectacular night for us all to commemorate 

Tonight was elaborately celebrated, but its sole aim was simple, charitable and remained truest to the heart.

 

Congratulations to the A Cut Above Group for raising RM346,800 in total,

instantly catapulting this charity gala ball to greater success!

The Sunday Times XI: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

December 2, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

Sunday is over and I've just finished half a jar of chunky peanut butter.

I'm a tad impressed by my urge to snack, especially at midnight LOL

 

So… what rocked my week?

The pinnacle is most certainly the fact that I won 'Best Dressed' in Samsung Malaysia's Super Sweet BFF Hello Kitty party! *throws confetti* 

 

This came down as quite pleasant surprise if I do say so myself!

I was gobsmacked when I was nominated. My name was called out as a finalist and finally, a winner.

 

Just me impersonating Hello Kitty for the afternoon.

 

It may be just a menial fashion award to some, but to me, I was over the moon :D

I think it's due to the sad fact that I've never really had much luck in terms of winning anything during events. I'm an absolute ill-omen at Lucky Draws/Lucky Dips; till a point that I've stopped harbouring so much as a glimmer of hope when numbers are being drawn out ;(;(

So yes, I'm overwhelmed. Really. Thank you, dear judges and Samsung Malaysia for my lovely prize of a Samsung Galaxy Y Limited Edition Hello Kitty smartphone!

 

At the Super Sweet BFF party with bestieJoyce

*Full blogpost soon!*

 

Apart from the above party, my last seven days kept me busy. Was out and about, as usual. I appreciate my off-days where I'm not frantically rushing one deadline after another or darting to one event venue to another.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy what I do. Just… whenever things begin to take its toll on you, all you want is just to be whisked away to paradise for a day where nothing requires your absolute commitment, solid attention nor expects anything of you.

I guess I just (sometimes) miss my me-time 

 

Monday. Where am I off to?

 

The start of the week (while I was still recovering from my bout of fever) saw me attending A Cut Above's charity gala ball : A Musical Evening for the Children at the Grand Ballroom of Sunway Hotel Resort & Spa.

I had a wonderful time at this event of love, kindheartedness and goodwill. It was my greatest pleasure to support this philantropic initiative by A Cut Above. They managed to raise more than RM300K for their efforts! 

 

Charity begins at home. But it mustn't stop there.

*Full blogpost coming soon!*

 

One rainy evening proved to be worth enduring the insane traffic jams to the city.

I was totally sold upon laying eyes on some gorgeous timepieces of various European make. It was my honour to hold them in the palm of my hand (very gently, mind you!! Each one of them costs a few grand!) and wear them for the night.

 

Attended the private wine & dine function of Red Army Watches Malaysia

*Full blogpost coming soon!

 

What's a week without some food-hunting?

Here are some of my top picks this week 


Lunchdate with bestiePam at Manhattan Fish Market @ E@Curve

Fully recommended: We shared a platter for two – loving the whole flame-charred tiger prawns!

 

Lunchdate with bestieJoyce at Malone's Irish Restaurant & Bar @ Pavilion KL!

I recommend the Stuffed Chicken Breast with Mushroom, which was what I ordered and loved

She enjoyed her Chicken Crepe Roll but it was too sweet for my liking

 

Weekends soon crept in and it can only spell P-A-R-T-Y for most of us looking to let our hair down.

Might as well go crazy over some drinks, loud music, bass-thumping beats and of couse, the company of your partymates while we still can ;)

 

My rave kakis. Someone's missing, ey?

Unfortunately, bestiePam was really tired that Friday and slept through it all! :/

 

Attended Showtek's techno/harstyle rave in Zouk Club KL

 

The weather today showed no mercy as it didn't stop pouring; not one bit!

I took this as the perfect chance to sleep in – the cool morning breeze lulled me back to dreamland quite instantly! It really has that effect on me 

The other half and I didn't go far for food today, we opted for some pub grub at our neighbourhood German bar, Deutsches Gasthaus!

 

Clockwise L-R: Pigs in a Blanket, Honey-Rum Chicken & Moroccan Chicken

(excuse the poor quality of the photograph, pub lighting can be inadequate!)

 

The food was simple & delicious for regular pub fare and kept me satiated me for a good full day.

Definitely somewhere I'd go back to eat again if I didn't feel like eating out too far 

 

And that's my week in a nutshell. 

 

As I said in my previous edition of The Sunday Times, tardiness won't be part of my blogging schedule anymore. I shall dedicate the whole of December to clear off ALL my backlog. Let the memories roll! So don't be surprised if you see blogposts of stuff which happened several months or years ago 

Heh. Guilty as charged, but never too late to rectify things. Have a great week ahead dearest readers! 

 

Much love,

 Jessicat

The Sunday Times X: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

November 25, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

This is ridiculous! Time is certainly against me.

I've had 'The Sunday Times' weekly edition published every Sunday for exactly nine consecutive weeks now, it is beyond me how I skipped exactly a month's worth of it!

 

My last edition was dated 21st October, exactly four weeks ago!

It was before I jetsetted off to Cambodia for a couple of weeks and adjourned to Penang before I could even unpack! Also got into a road accident, sprained my ankle, ran a marathon and brought some lovely Australian tourists around the city.

 

The past month has been hectic and I apologize for not being timely with the blogposts I promised!

I've decided to revert my approach to blogging back to how I used to be. Timeliness is key. No more pending blogposts for months on end! For now, I shall be kept busy clearing off all my backlog. 

 

So let's see, where were we?

 

Dressed up for Halloween 2012 for Zouk KL's Skull Island party with my buddies

So many photos to share! Full blogpost coming soon, I promise! ;)

 

Dinner recommendation : Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant @ Sunway Pyramid

My one and ONLY favorite place for mouth-watering pork ribs! 

 

Packed my bags and was ready to go. I was then flown to Siem Reap, Cambodia on a fully sponsored trip by BlogFest Asia 2012. 

Cambodia Part One's blogpost is up – here! *click*

 

The majestic Angkor Wat by the 6AM sunrise

 

And the golden sunset at Phnom Bakheng hilltop

 

Nine days was too short! I landed back in Kuala Lumpur before I was ready to say goodbye to Cambodia.

A couple of days later, I was whisked away by Carlsberg Malaysia to their secret annual party held in Penang Island this year 

 

Carlsberg : Where's the Party 2012 blogpost Part One – here! *click*

 

Coming back to my little island, Penang, was a good way to get away from the city for a while.

 

It awarded me the time I wanted to spend with mother; in a familiar space

where nothing else used to matter but the comforts of home 

We're 30 years apart but hardly any visible difference, ey? 

 

Got to spend time with another one of my unsung heroes in life 

My maid/kakak/nanny/housekeeper/another-mother. Already 20 years working with us and counting!

 

What's Penang Island without it's heritage trail and food hunting?

 

I took part in the annual Penang Bridge International Marathon 2012 as well.

Full blogpost – here! *click*

 

Took a roadtrip down south to surprise godmom dearest with a private birthday lunch

at Indulgence Restaurant & Living, Ipoh's most opulent fine dining mansion 

Fully recommended for memorable functions or romantic dates!

 

Spent the last two days with Konzy's family who flew down all the way from Australia!

Brought them to some local food delights at NZ Garden Cafe 

I recommend this as a perfect spot to bring tourists as it overlooks our Twin Towers!

 

Had a lovely time with them! 

I hope they bear nothing but good memories of Kuala Lumpur city & Malaysia 

 

Attended the finale of Kronenbourg 1664's L'Aperitif Fashion

Celebrating the French art of pleasure at Luna Bar, on the roof top of Pacific Regency Hotel!

 

It was a night of cutting edge fashion, music, merriment, mingling and oh yes, more Blanc, please!

Thank you, Kronenbourg 1664, for having me 

 

Spent an afternoon in the city in a food review session at La Mexicana KL

Fully recommended for authentic Mexican cuisine! *Full blogpost coming soon*

 

AND THEN. I didn't know what hit me. I shall blame it on the weather or my idle immune system LOL.

Without any prior symptoms whatsoever, I fell sick with a very high fever the next day ;(

 

The closest thing I can get to sick-person food in Old Town restaurant

Ginger Chicken with Steamed Rice and Hot Honey Lemon juice right before taking my dosage of Paracetamol

(Thanks for the meds, Pammy! x)

 

Just cut up a large platter of fruits – oranges, apples & pears. Will be needing all the Vitamin C I can pump in to be well for tomorrow night's ball! :D

The 'Musical Evening for the Children' fund-raising gala evening of music, food and fun is a philanthropic effort by the A Cut Above group to aid the Malaysian Childrens' Aid Society (MACAS).

 

 

The one-night-only performance will see a myriad of Malaysia's best local artistes and celebrities serenading us with their various vocal talents and respective musical instruments as well as a hair-show featuring the Miss Universe Malaysia 2013 finalists and so much more! :D

I've always believed in lending my support to charity events, to the best I can. In the pursuit of success, one should always take a portion of it to give back to society. Whether it be in cash, kind or even one's own talent and skills of trade…

We all know charity begins at home… but it doesn't have to stop there 

That being said, have a wonderful & blessed seven days ahead of you, dear readers!

 

Much love,

Jessicat

Bolly for Charity! ACE YOUTH / TGF : Guinness World Record Breaking Charity Event

May 11, 2012 by thejessicat

 

It is every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least

the equivalent of what he takes out of it.

     — Albert Einstein


Growing up, charity and philanthrophy has always been an integral part of my life.

Mom & dad used to take me to the Old Folks Home and Orphanage every so often to donate and contribute in our capacity.

 

As I grew older, I continued our family “tradition” of helping the less fortunate.

Being a member of the Girl Guides, Scouts & Rangers community back in high school, our fundamental principle was accepting the Promise and the Law based on spiritual values, personal development and commitment to helping others


Our 3rd and 10th law is :

3. A guide’s duty is to be useful and to help to others

10. A guide is pure in thought, in word and in deed

 

And until now, I’ve never looked back.

Charity is the way to go! :D

 

TheJessicat.com will be supporting a Guinness World Record Breaking Charity event tomorrow!

 

 

Tomorrow night, ACE Youth in collaboration with Taman Gembira Foundation and Alumni Sri Aman will be organizing a ground-breaking Guinness World Record Charity Event!

BollyforCharity is a Guinness World Record Breaking attempt for the largest multi-site Bollywood dance event.

 

This day, at the same time and exact same moment, 7 countries will be participating and doing the exact same thing around the globe!

 

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

New Zealand

Capetown, South Africa

Edinburgh Prison, United Kingdom

Kathmandu, Nepal

London, England

Manipal, India

 

Imagine the number of people that will be involved in this! 😀 😀

 

We are helping our fellow friends in UK to break the current record of close to 4,500 people by hoping to gather 1,000 people to dance to the track Jai Ho.

So.. learn up! 😀 It’s gonna be fun!

 

Celebrity Leng Yein will also make her appearance at the event !

She will be performing a few songs for us

Apart from many performances, there will be a charity drive and an auction session held during the event.

All the donation funds of Bolly for Charity in Malaysia earned this Saturday will be given to the Agathians Shelther in Petaling Jaya and the Handicapped and Disabled Children’s Association of Klang in Selangor.

 

 

I hope you will join us in taking part in this truly global event!

It is open to all! Anybody and everybody should be part of this historical world breaking record charity.

Always remember, we live life in a fast pace, reaping the benefits from the efforts we sow. We take on every new day with a new stride, chasing about the gains that matters to us in our journey.

But what could be better than giving back to society?

 

The only gift is a portion of thyself
