Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, Italy – All Things Beauty, Hair, Cosmetics, Nails, Spa & More!

October 11, 2017 by thejessicat

Ciao! It’s not often that one gets to enjoy work and passion in the same session, butΒ at the stroke of luck, fate and a little bit of pixie dust, today happened to be one of them! πŸ™‚

I was working on an important beauty & wellness project by the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) in collaboration with Bologna Fiere and Cosmetica Italia, called the Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna PresentationΒ Kuala Lumpur. Although we started working on it on a short notice and within a tight timeline, I’m glad we all managed to pull things together for a great day.

Joanna, Shini & Myself at the foyer of the Malaya Room, just before the seminar began.

This presentation was held prelude to the world’s biggest international trade show for the beauty industry – Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2018, from 15 – 19 March in Bologna, Italy.

Read on, if you’re keen to fly yourself to the land of pasta, pizza, olive oil and high fashion!Β

Simple Plan speaks! Press Conference : ‘Get Your Heart On!’ Malaysia tour

January 15, 2012 by thejessicat

 

In conjunction with the release of their 4th and latest album 'Get Your Heart On!', we were lucky enough to have Simple Plan right here at our Malaysian soil as one of their stops for their tour just yesterday afternoon.

Yup, you read right.

 

The band rocked Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 8pm in KL Live last night!

 

I arrived at 2.30pm to attend the press conference with my assistant of the day, Pamela πŸ™‚

Thanks for all the help & company!

 

Wow. Talk about dedicated fans.

There was already a queue as early as 6 hours before Simple Plan's concert!

 

CEO of Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid, Jason Lo, welcomed us and spoke extensively regarding the concert and what to expect for the night. 

 

"This is the first of many to come! Our next acts will be Avril Lavigne, Jessie J and more,"

Jason Lo shares

 

I bet all Malaysian Simple Plan fans were ecstatic being able to catch their favorite punk rock band perform right in front of their eyes.

Well, guess what? This is just the beginning.  

 

Jason Lo speaking

 

 

Simple Plan was brought down to Malaysia thanks to Tune Talk – in collaboration with JS Concert Productions and Fat Boys – as part of their 'No Big Deal lah' series of concerts.

Next was local band 'The Revellers', winner of the band search competition to open for Simple Plan's gig

 

They were personally handpicked by Simple Plan

 

When asked why they were chosen, Simple Plan said that it was "all about the music…"

Good on yall, guys! πŸ™‚ Make Malaysia proud hey?

 

Simple Plan being welcomed by the MC

 

During the interview, I managed to ask them a couple of questions.

 

Jessicat: What is your favorite song from your latest album 'Get Your Heart On!' and why?

Pierre: "I would say 'Can't Keep My Hands Off You'. It talks about getting down, know what I'm saying, gurl?"

 

Nice one! Oh I definitely know what you're sayin' Pierre. *winkwink*

 

 

Next question:

Jessicat: Where's your next stop after Malaysia and what are the future plans?

Pierre: Singapore is the next stop.. then Indonesia, Japan. We'll be doing a Canadian tour, a European tour, Australia… all over the world.


 

Cool beans. Looks like there's no stopping the band after 10 years! Amazing 

They were part of my teenage years, my friends' and I's all-time favorite punk rock band ever.

 

I'm sure many can relate!

 

Members of Simple Plan sharing a light banter with the MC

When asked, they mentioned that they loved the Malaysian heat!

 

 

Chuck Comeau (drums & percussions) speaking:

"It's -15 degrees in Canada, a snow storm at home right now.

We're very happy to be here, wearing shorts & Tshirts, it's awesome!"

 

Bumped into Jason (and his adorable son)

(his head happens to be at the bottom of the photo LOL!)

 

He asked me, "Are you ready for tonight? You better be!"

Is that even a question? Hell to the yeah I am! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

 

 

Their concert was amazing. Take it from me, a true Simple Plan fan since their old skool days of 2002.

As a teenager, I used to have posters of them back then, compiled all my favorite songs of Simple Plan's albums and blast them in my room, rocking out all by myself while jumping on the bed playing an air guitar 

 

 

Stay tuned for the coverage of Simple Plan's concert last night.

Heaps of photos + videos coming your way! πŸ˜‰

Mizz Nina & Colby O'Donis LIVE in Malaysia! 'What You Waiting For' album launch + showcase in Zouk KL

July 20, 2010 by thejessicat

 

 

 

 

Who goes to Zouk KL on a Saturday AFTERNOON? πŸ˜€
 

 

Hehe. Lotsa people did last Saturday. So did I! Courtesy of Hotlink, I attended to Mizz Nina's album launch and press conference. Thanks! The highlight of the event wasn't just about our local lass… by now, you would've already known who jetsetted all the way from USA for this too
 

 

Ohmy. Yes it's Colby. Colby O'Donis!
 

The talented music maestro who collabo-ed with our local Mizz Nina

 

 

Upon reaching, the event crew was already all prepared at the registration table.
 

 

They were all very friendly and welcoming. Especially this guy! πŸ˜€
 

The goodie bags came with lotsa stuff too!

 

 

Among the other goodies such as huge posters and stickers, I loved the pair of funky headphones as well as the black blinged tanktop. It comes from Mizz Nina's fashion and merchandise line in fact. Will share more in a bit πŸ™‚
 

 

Brass bangle + Red zipper headband from Soak Republic
 

Piccie moments with the awesome crew
 

 

 

With fellow blogger Hafiz by the photowall πŸ˜€  Thanks to Hotlink for inviting us!
 

 

 

Upon entering Zouk, I caught sight of something very interesting on display. As I walked closer, I realized that they were all for sale. Those were the MizzNina's fashion line and merchandise I mentioned earlier
 

 

There were CDs of her 'What You Waiting For' album….
 

 

There was travel sets! 3 pairs of apparel for a weekend holiday, methinks πŸ˜€
 

 

 

But what really made my eyes widen and jaw drop was this…
 

 

ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY BUCKS O__O
 

Gotta be one hell of a Swarovski item hehe
 

 

 

It began immediately when everything was up and ready with the crowd. Clad in a pink tight bodycon dress, Mizz Nina made her appearance. She greeted all of us and gave us a warm welcome.
 

 


 

I like her blonde streaks!
 

 

 

She then performed with Noh Hujan in a beautiful acoustic rendition. According to them, it was played LIVE for the very first time
 

 


 

when the MC announced that  "Mizz Nina is going to be performing with her *COUGHS LOUDLY*,"
 

there's no surprise that Noh and MizzNina are somewhat dating πŸ˜‰
 

 

 

After they were done with serenading the audience with melodious strumming and strong vocals, it's the moment that we had all been waiting for… the LIVE performance of Mizz Nina and Colby O for their popular track 'What You Waiting For'


"Babeh! I've never seen someone witchur body~
 

You make me wanna get this party starteddd~"
 

 

"Hey baby, come in tell me what this all, babehh, babehhh~
Tell me whatchu whatchu waiting for~"

 


 

"Babehh, I never seen someone with your body~
You make me wanna get a little naughty~"

 

"Hey babehh come in get it it's all yours, babeh, babehh~
Tell me whatchu whatchu waiting for~"

 

The performance was superb! I never thought I would see Colby O and Mizz Nina sing and groove right before my eyes.
 

 

Here are 3 short 10 second videos I have to share with yall πŸ™‚
 

Watch it one after another kay!
 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMIjWXD1U10

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9rFLKHmGM8
 

 

Their onscreen chemistry was just as good as that of their offscreen's. Coupled with the booming bass music, the lighting and the energetic back-up dancers, it was an outstanding showcase indeed!
 

 

They danced with each other too
 

 


 

From my observation throughout the entire day, Colby seems like a shy guy with very litte words to say.
 

But when he was onstage, he really shone like the stars! Just as charming as I thought he would be from all his music videos including the ones he was featured in for Lady Gaga's and Akon's video


 


 

Together, they busted their moves and tore up the party!
 

It got the crowd raving on hard too
 

 


 

I also loved the way Colby spins around during their dance πŸ™‚
 

 

 

Anyway!

If you haven't already watched the aforementioned 'What You Waiting For' track, you totally have to. Three 10 second videos from me ain't enough! This is a popular favorite off the album
 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO1JfvIm-Rg

No wonder Mizz Nina and Colby told us that they really had lotsa fun during the shoot!

They really look like they did *wiggles eyebrows*

 

 

During the press conference, they also told us that they had it filmed in downtown Los Angeles Guess what? The location was dubbed a "secret location" and the both of them only knew where it was gonna be 2 hours before shooting πŸ˜€

 

Mizz Nina and Colby O illustrated juicy bits of their lives, their performance and their shared experience
 

 

Spilling the beans yo!
 

Did you know that 'What You Waiting For' was actually recorded separately? She recorded her vocals right here in Malaysia while he recorded his in USA. It was then sent to the producer to get it completely mixed and mastered.
 

 

 

When I asked them if they were going to have any future plans or further collaborations, they mentioned that they would like to
 

"concentrate on this joint and international effort first before taking a step further" πŸ™‚

 

Colby expressed his love for Malaysia as well. The scenery, the lovely women, the friendly "family" vibe of us Malaysians and the spicy food! Woots! Glad you love it here πŸ˜€ Come back soon!
 

 

So, what was the experience like working with each other?
 

They shared with us that they only "met each other for the 1st time during the filming of their music video" and

"had a lot of fun" during the shoot

 

 

So the whole time prior to the music video, they've never met! But thanks to technology, the collaboration was made possible πŸ™‚
 

 

Mizz Nina then officiated her album launch

Congrats
 

 

 

We then proceeded outside along with them as it was time for some more photo moments against the photowall
 

 


 

Looking fine!
 

 

 

Their manager was nice enough to help me with this photograph despite being busy buzzing around. Thanks πŸ™‚
 

 

Amidst the sweltering Malaysian weather! πŸ˜€
 

 

 

Had some outdoor shoots with them within the Zouk vicinity too

 


 

1..2..3.. POSE! πŸ˜€
 

 

Soon after, everyone got back inside for the round table session and to mingle with them over food and drinks.
 

 

We had a lil chit chat session going on and while Mizz Nina was being interviewed by some internet TV crew, I managed to speak to Colby O personally!! *swoons* We talked about the chain he was wearing as I was curious about the dragon pendant he had hung around his neck.
 

He also mentioned that he will only be staying in Malaysia until Sunday and will be leaving to Hong Kong after.
 

 

If you're reading this Colby, I almost died πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

Was a pleasure meeting you, I'm a big fan of your music and moves!

 

 

Remember the cute mini cupcakes I mentioned in this post?
 

 


 

Most of u were intrigued with the Mizz Nina cupcake
 

 

There were so so so so many of them. It came by the boxes! Lemme show you :
 

 

Teeny tiny sinfully yummy goodness! πŸ˜€
 

 


 

Hafiz and I enjoyed it thoroughly
 

 

 

By the time everything was over, we proceeded to leave the premises.

I had a huge shock for this was the first thing I saw!
 

 


 

WOW! THAT'S SOME INSANE QUEUE

And this was only half of the loooooooong line
 

 

Looks like they've got a massive fanbase here in Kuala-la-la Lumpur! πŸ˜€
