I got an invite to attend the GUESS LUXE launch via The Butterfly Project & I was really excited because it was my first event under them.

It was basically a showcase of the GUESS Luxe exclusive leather handbags. There was a colour theme to follow, which was white. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t have anything that was fully white (insert mental note to buy some plain coloured clothes), so I had to improvise with just a white shirt;

I attended the event, my colleague and fellow blogger, Marcia at RogueWolf. Events are always so much more fun when you have a girlfriend with you!;
As soon as I walked in, it was like a child in a candy store. I couldn’t help but just walk around, touching, carrying & attempting to steal (just kidding!) all the handbags.

I’ve never really been much of a GUESS handbag sorta girl, but I was converted that night for sure. The GUESS Luxe Fall/Winter 2013 collection was so chic! The bags were minimal, but with an additional detail on each of it to give it an extra wow factor.

Look at all these pretty bags!;
I could go on and on with super long descriptions of all the bags & why I absolutely need them in my closet, but here are my favourite among the lot;

Quilted, bronze tones, and plain black bags with chain handle details. So classy with a hint of edgy, I absolutely love!

But I saved the best for last;
This is the Golden Cage mini flap bag. It’s quilted, has gold detailing on the flap as well as the gold chain straps that can be worn both short or long. This bag is easy to match, and can be used on a daily. To me, it oozes sexy, confident, stylish vibes.

Oh, and not forgetting the super funky zebra bracelet from GUESS as well. I just had to try it on! Love, love, love animal accessories!

& speaking of accessories, here are some of the accessories that were on display that caught my eye;
The event kick started with these super cute dancers dancing, while modelling the handbags. Seriously too cute! (Also check out how they were swarmed by the bloggers all wanting to get a good shot for their respective blogs!);
After the little show, we were briefed about the collection, basically getting to know what the new collection was all about. They even conducted a contest where 3 lucky bloggers got to take home GUESS bags.

But no one went home empty handed as we were giving goodie bags at the end of the event;
I GUESS this is what style looks like 😉

When I heard of Kumar vs Malaysia, organised by Define International, I absolutely had to go! & I am so glad I did! 
The tickets were slightly pricey, however worth every cent! Also, it came with a 3 course meal;
The comedians representing Malaysia were Kuah Jenhan, Kavin Jayaram & Rizal van Geyzel. I had previously watched Kavin and Rizal both perform several times, but Kavin keeps getting better!. For some reason, this wasn’t Rizal’s best performance, but hey, everyone’s allowed an ‘off’ day. Jenhan on the other hand, was my favourite of the Malaysians. His delivery and timing was on point. Dr.Jason Leong, (also a stand up comedian)was the emcee that night, and was a perfect choice for the event.

Of course, the highlight and main act of the night, was none other than the fabulous drag-queen, Kumar;
I can’t even begin to describe how incredibly hilarious he was! I laughed so hard, my face hurts! He was fast, witty and honest with his jokes. His expressions were so epic!

But the best part of the night, was actually meeting Kumar, even if it was for just a picture and an exchange of two sentences;
My mom and I were such fans and used to watch his travelogue cooking show, “Rusiyo Rusi”. One of my fondest memories with her, was laughing at Kumar’s exaggerative antics, and how my mom used to always say he reminded her of me and how dramatic and skinny I was.

What I didn’t enjoy about the show, was the impromptu session they had. The questions were prepared by the audience, which weren’t exactly suitable as I thought some of them were offensive and some border-lining ridiculous, such as “Who farts louder, Malaysians or Singaporeans?”. However, Kumar was on point and had his A game one with his replies.

In this friendly match of Kumar vs Malaysia, as proud of a Malaysian as I am, this round definitely went to Kumar hands down. But our boys did a great job and did us proud!

I’ll definitely be looking forward to the next one by Define International. Do click like on their Facebook page to keep tabs of the updates, shows and acts they’ll be bringing in! 🙂

You’ve heard it before, “Laughter is the best medicine!”, and as cliche as it sounds, it’s proven to be true! Which is why, this is going to be incredibly epic! Kumar vs Malaysia!

“It’s the ultimate battle of the nations as Kumar takes centre stage to represent Singapore going up against our Malaysian comedy commandos, Kuah JenHan, Kavin Jay and Rizal Van Geyzel in ‘KUMAR VS MALAYSIA’.

This epic clash of wits will take place at the Manhattan Ballroom, Berjaya Times Square Hotel KL on the 16th & 17th of October since one night would just not be enough. It may be 1 against 3 but make no mistake, Kumar is coming fully prepared!

Enjoy the show with an amazing 3 course dinner which is inclusive with every ticket purchased. It’s going to be a comedic clash of our Tigers Vs the Lioness which you would not want to miss!”

I’ve watched Kumar on Tv and on YouTube, I am such a fan. I’ve also watched these Malaysian boys live before, and was not disappointed! You can check out Define International Sdn Bhd to find out more about the event, or you can just purchase the tickets right away HERE! (because you just can’t go wrong with these bunch of comedians & I already bought mine!). Or you can try to win tickets;

I received an email from LivingSocial inviting me over for an event at their head office to get to know their company better as well as the announcement of the Travel Contest they conducted for their 1 year anniversary. Four lucky winners won hotel stays at Swiss-Garden International hotels, resorts and inns around Malaysia (Jealous, I am!).

After which LivingSocial presented a slideshow of their company, as well as gave us a tour of their office. The team was pretty big, and they all seemed really fun. LivingSocial is basically a local marketplace to purchase some amazing discounted offers. I personally have bought several vouchers and items through their site, and have not been disappointed.

Speech by the CEO of LivingSocial. 

Once our tour was over, they had a small tea-time session, where I not only got to know the people from LivingSocial but also the other bloggers who attended. These girls were super nice and friendly!

& here was my Outfit of The Day;

Peplum top: Primark, London
Skinny Jeans: H&M, Paradigm Mall (was on sale! at Rm19!)
Coral Necklace: Colours, Midvalley
Bag: Forever21
Flats: Cotton On
Coral Lipstick: TopShop (I can’t remember what it’s called as I just tried it on that day, but I officially need it in my life!)

Today was an amazing experience, my first ever rally! I walked in the stadium completely exhausted from the other events of the day, but was immediately pumped up as I fed off all the energy of the people around me. People singing Negaraku with so much pride and patriotism I felt I might start tearing, from an incredibly noisy and pumped up stadium to pin drop silence when the prayers were going showing so much respect for each and every religion, everyone helping each other out as they offered water and ponchos for random strangers to sit on. I sat back and watched it all, completely amazed and impressed by the amount of unity and peace that I witnessed.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Malaysians so united and with so much pride for the country. I wouldn’t change that experience for anything else.
