Event - "Townhall" Session with Prime Minister, DS Mohd Najib

I was invited by a close friend of mine to attend the "Townhall" session with Malaysian Prime Minister, Dato' Sri Mohd. Najib. It was held in the auditorium of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) building.

The BN Youth Lab organized this event to present their findings regarding the issues and challenges faced by the Malaysian Youth. They also proposed suggestions to help the Malaysian Youth. 

I attended this event as a social media photojournalist. It's also part of representing the youth leaders (non partisan) from around Malaysia.

The event ended with a huge Hari Raya card for DS Mohd. Najib with wishes from everyone. 



Selamat Hari Raya to our Prime Minister, Dato' Sri Mohd. Najib.



After that, Dato' Sri Mohd. Najib left the place shortly.



We had a small chat with Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon, ex-Chief Minister of Penang. The photo on the right shows the file folder where he kept all the notes taken during the event.

Although a photojournalist has the freedom to "roam" around, it's a tough job indeed to capture the right moment among the huge crowd. Not forgetting those professional journalists with "HUGE guns" and years of experience.

Alas I get to taste what a photojournalist job is like, seeing so many familiar faces which I normally see on paper. I get to meet new friends too. =)

Event Photo - LuxOnU Pre-Opening Gathering

My old friend, Marcus is now running a new luxury bag shop (LuxOnU) and I went to their new place recently. He invited me to attend his new shop's pre-opening gathering with some of the famous bloggers. I felt so tiny compared to those blogger. :p 



Pre-opening gathering at LuxOnU new shop.


LuxOnU is a new business venture which sells branded bags such as Bally, Coach, Long Champ, Gucci and etc. at a LOW PRICE compared to the retail shops. With this affordable price, Now Everyone Can Buy Luxury Bags !

The shop is located on the highest floor and only for private viewing upon appointment. They also frequently organize roadshow at other places as far as Singapore and Penang. LuxOnU's new shop is quite spacious and   interested buyers are able to locate a large mirror at the shop to camwhore try the bags.



 LuxOnU... Luxury at your finger tips.. 


There is a small bakery stall, Sweet Indulgenz, right at the corner of the shop. Shopper not only can go home with their purchased bags, she could also take away some cakes for their loved ones.

The pre-launch gathering started off with some cake tasting from Sweet Indulgenz.



This chocolate moist cake is definitely a must... it's not too sweet to my liking ^^



 Rebecca and April enjoying themselves... :p

The wine tasting glass is known as ISO glass. 



We had some white wine imported from Australia. Cheers everyone... ^^

The last part of the gathering is what everyone has been waiting for, the tips sharing session by Marcus and Rachel on how to differentiate branded and non-branded bag, how to take good care of those branded bag from fading colors to cleaning stains and etc.



Jamie and her girl friends are trying to identify whether it is a genuine bag. 



Cute reaction from Jamie with one of her favourite bags. 



Everyone went back not only with a tummy filled with delicious food and great wine but also with a goodie bag too!
