GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 LANDS IN MALAYSIA

Goodyear, one of the world's largest tyre companies has recently unveiled its latest addition to the Eagle F1 family, the SuperSport RS, SuperSport R, SuperSport, Asymmetric 5 and the Asymmetric 3 SUV

The launch by Goodyear Malaysia comes after Goodyear’s recent sponsorship of three participating teams in the World Endurance Championship (widely known as the Le Mans), namely Jota Sport, Jackie Chan DC Racing and High Class Racing. 

“Racing is in our DNA. Throughout the years, Goodyear has been involved in many races such as NASCAR, Le Mans and the British Touring Car Championship, therefore, it is inevitable that we will once again align ourselves with high-speed motorsports. We continue to innovate to bring cutting-edge technology and differentiated features to our tyres. The most important aspect is that motorsports allows us to test our capabilities and push our limits so that we can eventually achieve excellent technology transfer and utilise development experience from the tracks to the road,” said Alex Ng, Managing Director of Goodyear Malaysia.


Together with him revealing the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport at the launch was Alex Yoong, Founder and Director of Axle Motosport and Professional Racing Driver(left), Jenner Powell, Product Director of Goodyear APAC (2nd right) and Benjamin Chong, Product Manager of Goodyear Malaysia (right).



As part of the official launch of the Eagle F1 family, Goodyear Malaysia recently announced two additional tyres, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV. 

In addition to this series, Goodyear will be announcing a brand new tyre in 2020. This is part of Goodyear’s commitment for thrill seeking drivers and this tyre will enable all enthusiasts to enjoy premium tyres at competitive prices. 

When attended the official launched, Kak Fas was overjoyed to learn that tyres actually has its own different performance accordingly to customer's needs and car's specification.

All along, Kak Fas thoght that all tyres are the same and the difference lies on its value only. Well! forgive me cause as a women driver, we only think of having a good spare tyre at the back without realizing its function.

Thank god I join the event launch and now am more informative about tyres thanks to Goodyear. So let me list down the perfect tyre for your car... read on the specification and quality of the Eagles range:

Fly With the Eagles

Designed for comfort, control and superior in the wet, the Eagle F1 SuperSport was developed for better grip and handling on the road. 

Through the usage of an innovative U-shaped compound, the Eagle F1 SuperSport Series has specialised power zones which creates pockets of control for superior wet and dry handling. 

The tyre also has a thread deformation protector which helps in maintaining its shape, allowing better footprint preservation for high-speed stability. To increase grip during cornering, Goodyear applied a closed outside pattern, which allows for more agile performance. 

Additionally, it also has a stiffer sidewall design which improves handling and stability.

Focusing on wet conditions, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 offers luxurious comfort and superior wet breaking. The specialised thread design and Impulse Control Compound Technology, a highly refined silica compound, allow the tyre to endure the force of high-speed braking, shortening the braking distance. 

This compound also allows a patch extension through Goodyear’s ActiveBraking Technology, which allows the tyre  to slightly expand when braking to create more grip using its walls. 

In addition, the tyre is not only built for wet conditions – its Power Cushion Technology (stiff coupling of carcass and pattern) produces precise power transmission, leading to excellent dry handling. 

For larger cars and SUVs, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV is designed to be sturdy while promoting better fuel consumption due to its low rolling resistance. It is also capable of shortening braking distance through ActiveBraking Technology, in any condition. It enforces stronger grip, which makes it easier for handling and braking. Its specialised compound known as the Grip Booster compound increases the tyre's stickiness with the road surface, allowing it to be comfortable while maintaining handling when travelling at higher speeds giving the driver to total control. 


Expanding the family

At the launch, Goodyear Malaysia also reacquainted the market with its other tyre families, namely the Assurance, EfficientGrip and the Wrangler series

For the Assurance range, Goodyear offers a comfortable, quiet and safe drive of one’s vehicle by highlighting the Goodyear Assurance TripleMax 2, as well as the Assurance DuraPlus 2. The Assurance TripleMax 2 is equipped with the latest HydroTred technology for enhanced wet braking performance, while its asymmetric threads allows for better handling, and comfort performance for a quieter and safer drive. The Assurance DuraPlus 2, on the other hand, is equipped with TredLife technology and a specialised compound to reduce exterior noise, increase overall comfort, and at the same time allow for further milleage. 

The EfficientGrip Performance is a tyre equipped with higher gripping compounds that enables shorter braking distances on wet roads. Infused with ActiveBraking Technology, the EfficientGrip Performance increases contact between the tyre and the roads increasing the braking distance performance for up to two meters on wet roads. This has allowed the tyres to be A-rated by european regulations. In addition to that, it also comes with FuelSaving Technology that reduces rolling resistance by up to 18% in comparison to its predecessor, Goodyear EfficientGrip. The inclusion QuietTred Technology also ensures that the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance is able to provide a quieter drive.Aside from the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV, Goodyear also showcased the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance SUV. Similar to the EfficientGrip Performance, the EfficientGrip Performance SUV is designed to be quiet and comfortable to fit luxury highway SUVs. In addition to that, with reinforced and robust construction, the EfficientGrip Performance is equipped to match all driving conditions. Its QuietTred Technology reduces exterior and interior noise levels to provide luxury SUV drivers with a quieter ride. Goodyear’s FlexContact technology uses heavier gauge under thread and barrier cushion that reduces vibration and increases tire insulation for improved ride comfort.
When it comes to the Wrangler series, the Goodyear Wrangler AT SilentTrac is equipped with Durawall technology provides light off-road durability with improved quiet and comfort for on-road and extended mileage, to achieve the best balance between on and off road. For the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac, the pattern offers additional transaction through its TractiveGroove Technology, which allows the treds to offer better grip in off-road situations. Furthermore, its highly angled centre tread blocks enhance traction as well as adds stability to reduce road noise, leading to a quieter drive. 

“Each pattern was passionately designed to suit consumer demands depending on preference. we know that the tyre is in between the road and the drivers ability to have control of the vehicle. Hence, we continuously enhance our HydroTred technology to achieve better braking performance on wet roads as well as in various conditions. We understand that the tyre is the only point of contact between the road and the car, amplifying the importance of constantly innovating new ways to stay in control. This is why evolution of our patterns is important at Goodyear. With innovation, it has pushed Goodyear to push boundaries and set itself apart,” concluded Ng.

Mr Ramachandran expressed that Bata believes in aiding children as best as it can in order for them to reach their full potential. “Providing school shoes may be a simple act but it is essential for children, no matter their life’s situation, to have proper footwear for school.

CALTEX BRINGS FUEL THAT POWERED A WORLD RECORD

Malaysians can now experience the fuel that powered a world record at their neighbourhood Caltex service station. 

Brought to you by Chevron Malaysia Limited, Caltexwith Techron®recently powered a 28-year-old car up a 1,000m ascent in record time, setting a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title for the ‘Fastest Ascent of Doi Chang Mountain Road by Car’.

Revealed through the ‘Record Rides’ two-part series on National Geographic, with Caltex as the sole presenting partner, the attempt was part of Caltex’s Fuel Power Challenge.

It saw Jamaican-Chinese professional race car driver, Natasha Chang, and television host, KC Montero, compete against the clock to reach the summit of Doi Chang Mountain in record time. 

At the end, it was Natasha who achieved the coveted title with 6 minutes 52.692 seconds, and arguably the craziest, record-breaking driving experience in Asia.

“Caltex with Techron®is specially formulated to clean and protect engines. The GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title achievement helps demonstrate how a clean engine powered by Techron®can function at its most optimum, which includes delivering maximum power to your wheels. 

This is the same fuel that our customers can experience at their neighbourhood Caltex stations to power their everyday drive,” said Greg Engeler, Product Engineering Manager for Caltex.

To perform at maximised power, an engine requires unrestricted air and fuel delivery which cannot happen when deposits are on the intake valves and port fuel injectors. 

Techron®’s unique chemistry is proven to remove and protect an engine from deposits in these critical areas. Caltex with Techron®also contains Clean & Glide Technology™, which further helps to reduce friction, helping maximise power. 

For Dato’ Hans Isaac, who is the Celebrity Partner of Caltex Malaysia, the record-breaking feat further demonstrates how Caltex with Techron®fuels can power an engine towards achieving an extraordinary journey.

“When I heard about Caltex’s success at achieving the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS®title, I couldn’t help but feel proud to be associated with a global brand like Caltex, because they know that nothing extraordinary is ever easy. Difficult is an invitation to be great, and Caltex does difficult.”

“As someone who thrives on challenging myself to go further, this feat achieved by Caltex inspired me to push the limits of Caltex with Techron®myself, on Malaysian roads. That’s how I’ve decided to go on a challenge to further prove the efficiency of Caltex with Techron®. With only one tank of this innovative fuel, my friend Man, and I, will attempt to drive up Cameron Highlands in our national car, the 1985 Proton Saga. I guess you will have to stay tuned to find out if we succeed or not,” he added.

Also present at the event was Natasha Chang, also known as “Chiney Dolly” among Instagram followers, who was in the thick of the successful GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS®attempt. 

“I knew from the get-go that this journey was going to be filled with challenges, however, I was determined to validate the notion that fuel is one of the most important aspects of a car thus, the right fuel can only maximise your vehicle’s potential. With Caltex with Techron®, the performance of the car we built from scratch for the attempt on a seemingly impossible timeline only got better which resulted in us breaking new ground in fuel innovation,” she said.

Samsung’s  QLED 8K TV now in Malaysia

You can now own a 'cinema' at home with this latest innovation and enjoy a dolby atmos sensurround....

Yes! All is made possible by Samsung Malaysia Electronics that has unveiled its 98” QLED 8K TV – its largest yet – adding to its 2019 TV lineup, officially giving Malaysians the largest 8K screen experience of unrivalled picture quality and clarity. 

The new Samsung QLED 8K TVs come equipped with Samsung’s propriety Quantum Processor, an AI-powered picture and sound processing semiconductor technology which enables a significantly improved entertainment experience.

“Samsung has been the global leader in TV for 13 consecutive years. Throughout the years we are committed to delivering quality and innovative products through the understanding of our consumers’ need today. With the unveiling of our QLED 8K TV, we are bringing a new dimension of reality through our 98” display. Our proprietary technology in Quantum Processor 8K once again raised the bar by upscaling the lower resolution content you watch to near 8K quality. We couldn’t be more excited to bring you one giant leap for reality with our Samsung QLED 8K TV,” said Jimmy Tan, Head of Consumer Electronics of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Unveiled by Samsung as an industry first, the machine-learning Quantum Processor employs its AI capabilities to learn and compare millions of images that help it to calibrate lower-resolution sources and optimize them into 8K-quality content regardless of the original format. 

With that, the issue of currently-limited native 8K content is a non-issue for Samsung’s 2019 QLED TVs, therefore earning the TVs a prestigious Innovation Award at CES 2019. This is Samsung’s smartest and most powerful TV yet.

The key products in the 2019 QLED line-up include a suite of 8K and 4K TVs, such as the 8K Q900R that ranges from 65-inch to 98-inch in size, as well as the 4K Q90R,  Q75R and Q60R that range from 49-inch to 82-inch in size. In total, the expanded 2019 QLED line-up features more than 20 models and includes more large-screen models.

The Best Picture Quality with Significantly Improved Viewing Angles and Black Levels

Equipped with an upgraded Ultra Viewing Angle technology, Samsung’s 2019 QLED TVs will allow for backlight to pass through the TV’s panels more evenly onto the screen, thanks to the improved panel structure and new screen calibration algorithms which enhance the TV’s viewing angles. It delivers consistently stunning picture quality from every viewing angle without glare or reflections in the daytime or in brightly-lit rooms. 

Along with several picture quality upgrades in 2019, the adoption of Direct Full Array models1has nearly doubled from last year. Direct Full Array technology puts backlit LEDs behind the panel for precise brightness control, allowing the light to be adjusted individually to create deeper blacks. Algorithms that recognize and adjust black colors more precisely analyse the characteristics of each scene in real-time for brightness distribution and black ratios to control the backlight and help the 2019 QLED TVs deliver superb black color reproduction.
                                 
In addition, all Samsung 2019 QLED TVs will feature HDR10+, a premium picture processing format. The HDR10+ standard makes bright scenes brighter and dark scenes darker by optimising the contrast for each scene, so that users can enjoy a detail-rich picture. The QLED 8K TVs will also support HDMI 2.1 (8K 60P) transmission.
                                        
Magic Screen Offers an even greater Variety of Decoration and Art 

Through Magic Screen, Samsung’s QLED TVs elevate the home setting by displaying decorative content, useful information, your own photos, and can even mimic the texture of the wall behind it2. In addition, an even wider variety of themes are now available, which allows users to further customise Magic Screen to complement the décor of their homes. Customers can also sync their ambient screens with music when the TV is not in active use.

Samsung QLED TVs come with an automatic light control sensor as well, allowing it to adapt its brightness levels to give users the optimal viewing experience, regardless of whether you’re watching TV late at night or in the bright morning sunshine.

THE CARBON G-SHOCK 2019 NOW AVAILABLE

Ardent fans of the renowned brand, G-SHOCK would surely love to read this news...

Yes, happening from 8th April till 14 April 2019, Casio Malaysia will hold a week long exhibition at the Centre Court, Mid Vallewy Megamall, Kuala Lumpur, introducing its latest innovation from Casio's G-SHOCK line up - the Carbon G-SHOCK of 2019 featuring a carbon fiberb also known as the "third generation of toughness".

Carbon fiber is hard, strong, light, strong against thermal change, strong against time and strong against deformation. In essence, carbon fiber merges the lightness of resin with strength surpassing metal to revolutionize shock resistance.

To kick-off the exhibition, a grand launch was held on 11th April 2019. Two new carbon series, the GA-2000 and GWR-B1000 Gravitymaster both employing the Carbon Core Guard structure were introduced at the launch for the first time in Malaysia. 

To signify the official launch of the event, VIPs were tasked with throwing a G-SHOCK watch towards a bullseye target followed by an explosive and upbeat Japanese drum performance by an entourage of highly energetic drummers.

Taking Casio’s G-SHOCK ultra tough reputation to the next level and sporting a new urban outdoor style with a sleeker look, the analog-digital GA-2000 with Carbon Core Guard structure includes notable features such as a carbon fiber-reinforced case, guardless buttons, front light button, a double case back structure, and multi-color resin bands. 

Another unique feature of the GA-2000 is that unlike other G-SHOCKs the bands can lay completely flat with the case and are easily removable using a slide lever without special tools. The new shock resistant structure marks an important advance of G-SHOCK core technology, making this model the new standard bearer of the G-SHOCK lineup.

The lightest Gravitymaster ever, the GWR-B1000 Gravitymaster with a new carbon monocoque case, is incredibly tough but light at the same time. Designed for the severe environments faced by pilots, this new timepiece delivers an even higher level of toughness through the use of the same carbon and titanium materials found on modern aircrafts. 


The GWR-B1000 Gravitymaster comes with an array of premium features, including 52 layers of carbon sheeting bezel, a carbon fiber insert band, and scratch resistant sapphire glass which enhances readability. The watch also utilizes tough solar technology, atomic timekeeping, Bluetooth enabled and features full auto double LEDs which automatically illuminate in dark conditions.

To commemorate Casio’s bold new direction with Carbon Core Guard, the exhibition chronicled the material evolution of Casio’s G-SHOCK from yesteryears to present day and showcase of the actual Carbon Core Guard materials used in the production of these supremely tough watches. 

Throughout the week-long exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity and pleasure of brutalizing the Casio G-SHOCK by participating in the Giant Slingshot - slingshot a ball towards a bullseye target which is a G-SHOCK watch. All visitors to the exhibition are encouraged to participate to stand a chance to win exciting prizes!

Mr Tezuka Itsuro, Managing Director of Casio Malaysia said:

“When the world thought we couldn’t get any tougher, we proved otherwise today with the introduction of the G-SHOCK Carbon Core Guard series, an even more resilient watch to our already formidable G-SHOCK line.”

In fact until today the brand has remained committed to their mission of “Stylish Functionality” by creating bags that are functional and durable that has helped its customers look and feel their best for 30 years.

As Kipling's fans may know, the brand was founded by three passionate and enterprising men in Antwerp, Belgium: Paul Van de Velde, Vincent Haverbeke and Xavier Kegels in 1987, the name KIPLING was inspired by Rudyard Kipling who wrote "The Jungle Book" and films such as “Out of Africa”, and stands for the spirit of fun and adventure.




So ladies, if you are an ardent buyer of Kipling's product do head over to North Court of Midvalley Megamall, where in front of Kipling's boutique there are various new designs of Kiplingxemoji ready to be viewed and bought.















And for those who spend a minimum purchase of RM350 can opt to get their furry keychain personalized. You may choose anything from the accessories available to beautify them further. But you have to hurry up as the road show will only be at the North Court until this weekend before it moved to another venue.

During  the launch, KIPLING hold on to their belief of raising awareness and reduce consumer demand for White-Handed Gibbons  (Hylobates Lar) as pets called The Kipling Initiative.

The White-Handed Gibbon is classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List and listed on Appendix  I of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and listed as Totally Protected Species under Second Schedule Wildlife Conservation Act 2010.


"We are honoured to be working with PERHILITAN to build such an anitiative, " said Mr Tan Seong Teck, Executive Director of Ram Pacific Malaysia, the sole distributor of KIPLING in Malaysia. “This Initiative will be a collaborative effort in creating awareness and to provide support to PERHILITAN in their quest to end the illegal trade”.

The brand adopted Dan and Cutie, a pair of endangered White-Handed Gibbons at Zoo Negara late last year and is conducting activations to promote gibbon conservation where sales of their bags will help to continue to fund the Initiative.




"In order to protect and conserve our widlife collaboration among stakeholders through public awareness campaign are vital to support the government initiatives as stated in our National Policy on Biodiversity” said Salman Hj. Saaban, Director of Enforcement Division, PERHILITAN. Malaysia passed the International Trade in Endangered Species Act 2008 (INTESA) to control international wildlife trade and the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 (WCA) to replace the old Protection of Wildlife Act 1972 to provide for the protection and conservation of wildlife in general which PERHILITAN enforces.

DC MALL BRINGS JOY TO TWO CHILDREN'S HOME

It was a joy to witness them receiving their Christmas gift that they had wished for. Their faces shines with happiness as they unwrapped and found their wishes came through. The excitement level was undeniable,

Yes they are the 70 children from both Rumah Charis and Rumah Victory that received their presents from Santa Claus and Santarina at the ‘Give a Gift’ charity event at Damansara City  Mall (DC Mall) recently. Kak Fas was there to witness the event and in between could not resist taking some shots of the malls Christmas decorations.


This true spirit of Christmas -one of love, kindness and giving that brings joy into the children's heart were made possible by a campaign organized by Damansara CIty Mall from 6th December to 18th December 2017 themed "Give a Gift'. 



Through this charity event, both homes requested in advance what the children wanted on a wish cards.

These Wish Cards were earlier filled up personally by the children, each containing details of gifts the child would like to receive. 

And on that note, patrons of the mall were able to pick out any of the 70 Wish Cards off on the Christmas Tree located at the Main Concourse at Level 1.

They will then purchase the specified gift for the child and deposit them at the mall’s Concierge located at the Ground Floor.

So thats the  history of the campaign guys...





























“It is so heartwarming to see how happy the children are with their gifts. I am truly humbled by this experience and from the bottom of my heart, I wish to thank each and every contributor of these gifts. Without their generosity, these smiling faces here would not have been possible. May you and your families have the most wonderful and joyous Christmas,” said Miss Melissa Wong, Head of Retail and Leasing - DC Mall, Damansara City.




Following the gift presentation, the representatives from Rumah Charis and Rumah Victory were each handed a mock cheque by Ms. Melissa Wong, to represent DC Mall’s contribution of RM5,000 to their organisation. After a group photo, the happy children were treated to a sumptuous meal while being serenaded by cheery Christmas carols.



As DC Mall strives to be a mall with heart, it constantly focuses on efforts to contribute and uplift society. This Christmas, DC Mall aims to promote the love of reading by setting up a Community Library where patrons of the mall could donate and exchange books. There are also reading tables and chairs where kids can read together and forge new friendships. The Community Library set-up is available at the mall from 1st December 2017 to 1st January 2018.

To add to the festive cheer, patrons of DC Mall can also look forward to meeting the jolly and rotund Santa Claus or delight in harmonious Christmas Carols on specific dates throughout the festive month.

GO HOLIDAY WITH THE ALL NEW SUBARU XV

Going on a holiday or outing? Need space for your passenger and luggage? 

Then why not head over to view the All new Subaru XV that was launched recently.by its exclusive distributor of Subaru vehicles in Malaysia,TC Subaru Sdn Bhd, 

Though Kak Fas love to be at the launch but was not invited huhu... but got the release instead.... then here's the informatioN for all Subaru lover's out there.

Anyway, hope to get an invite for the next new launch ok Chris Yuen? 



Representing the first full model change since the original Subaru XV was launched in 2012, this new XV will excite drivers in a multitude of settings, from urban driving to the great outdoors. It is also the second model to employ the revolutionary Subaru Global Platform which will make every drive an experience with heightened levels of confidence, comfort and control.

 “The All-New Subaru XV is a bold statement that will cater to Malaysians who require the practical and functional features of a compact SUV for their everyday activities” said Reza Mutalib, Executive Director, TC Subaru

“We are thrilled to launch this new generation XV built on the new Subaru Global Platform. The first generation XV was very well received and we are confident that the All-New Subaru XV will be the perfect driving partner for Malaysians, whether it be in daily traffic or out-of-town escapades.”



The All-New Subaru XV will be available in two variants* featuring Direct Fuel Injection Naturally Aspirated Engine which produces 156PS at 6000rpm:

·         Subaru XV 2.0i
·         Subaru XV 2.0i-P

The 2.0-litre Boxer Engine has been revamped, making the new engine approximately 12kg lighter and equipped with Direct Injection to deliver more power and fuel economy. The Lineartronic CVT transmission is also 7.8kg lighter than previous models and features auto-step shift control and 7-speed manual mode function which enables the driver with greater control.

In addition to Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, the All-New Subaru XV now comes equipped with X-MODE, which enhances driving performance on challenging terrain through optimised integrated control of the engine, all-wheel drive system, brakes and other functions. The Hill Descent Control setting gives drivers greater peace of mind by maintaining low speeds on downhill slopes.

The Subaru Global Platform dramatically increased the All-New Subaru XV’s rigidity throughout the body and chassis by over 70 per cent compared to previous models. This reduces vibrations and body roll, which results in a quiet, smooth ride. A quicker steering gear ratio and lower centre of gravity has also been achieved which empowers drivers with highly responsive steering and straight line stability.

The All-New Subaru XV features a distinctive rugged and sporty design that incorporates the company’s new DYNAMIC x SOLID design philosophy. This will bring Subaru’s aesthetic designs to the next level with detailed finishes in the interior and exterior.



The exterior features Subaru’s iconic hexagonal grille with C-shaped headlights, matte-black cladding on the front bumper and a new aluminium wheel design. The new vehicle sits in a wide and low stance, underlining the rugged character of the All-New Subaru XV, while combining advanced styling with superior aerodynamics while retaining the high ground clearance of 220mm.

An 8.0-inch touch-screen display infotainment system featured in the interior offers integrated navigation and enables smartphone connectivity for drivers to stay connected safely. The spacious design flow in the All-New Subaru XV gives a sporty, yet refined interior that surpasses its class. In addition, functionalities such as all-round visibility, cabin space and cargo room have been improved.

Subaru takes upmost pride in safety and the All-New Subaru XV recently won the Grand Prix Award in Japan New Car Assessment Program (JNCAP) Collision Safety Performance Assessment with the highest score ever.

Passive safety in the All-New Subaru XV has also been improved as a result of the new Subaru Global Platform’s frame structure, with enhanced body strength resulting from an increased use of high-tensile steel. This enables improved energy absorption in the event of collision by 40 per cent over present models. 7 SRS Airbags – front, side, curtain & knee – now comes standard with both variants to provide peace of mind for the driver and passengers wherever you go.

Steering Responsive Headlights are also fitted on the All-New Subaru XV (only for 2.0i-P) which will allow the headlight beam to move according to the direction of how the car is steered, maximizing visibility in the dark and safety.

The All-New Subaru XV will be available in a choice of 6 colours: Sunshine Orange, Dark Blue Pearl, Pure White, Ice Silver Metallic, Dark Grey Metallic and Crystal Black Silica. OTR price starts from RM118,819 inclusive of GST without insurance.

The All-New Subaru XV 2.0i and 2.0i-P will be available for booking at all Subaru Showrooms across Malaysia.

Specification data and model lineup may vary according to markets. For more information, please check with respective local Motor Image personnel.

MILO KOMITED LAHIRKAN BAKAT-BAKAT MUDA SUKAN

Anda suka MILO? 

Kak Fas memang suka minum MILO lebih-lebih lagi apabila perut kosong. Bila terasa macam kosong dan nak sakit tentu Kak Fas bancuh MILO....emm sedap dan terasa perut berisi.... ya la lapik perut kata orang sebelum nak makan.

Di sini Kak Fas nak kongsikan satu cerite terbaharu mengenai MILO  apatah lagi jika ko orang seorang ahli sukan.

Bagi MILO, sukan memainkan peranan sebagai pendidik untuk membentuk karakter dan menerapkan nilai-nilai murni dalam kehidupan anak demi masa depan yang lebih baik. Selain itu, sukan juga membantu mematangkan mereka agar terus berusaha untuk mengecapi kecemerlangan berterusan.

Dan demi meraikan kecemerlangan dan semangat kesukanan dalam mengharumkan nama negara di arena sukan, MILO menyatukan beberapa atlet negarauntuk mengiktirafkan kejayaan mereka dalam Sukan SEA 2017 yang ke-29 dan Sukan Para ASEAN yang ke-9 yang berlangsung di Kuala Lumpur baru-baru ini.

UNTUK sokong... Kak Fas pun turut pakai t shirt lambang Malaysia u alls tapi ini desain Abstrax yang juga mereka cipta baju atlet negara seperti yang dipakai oleh Shazlin Zulkifli di foto bawah.
Di majlis penghargaan anjuran, MILO yang Kak Fas turut hadir... dapat dilihat komitmen MILO memberi pengiktirafan kejayaan kepada beberapa atlet negara yang dilahirkan melalui Program Majlis Sukan Sekolah-Sekolah Malaysia (MSSM). 

Mereka terdiri daripada pemain hoki padang negara, Joel Van Huizen; ratu pecut, Felicia Mikat; pemain skuasy negara, Ng Eain Yow; atlet karate negara, Syakilla Salni; pemain bola keranjang kebangsaan, Nur Izzati Yaakob; perenang negara, Welson Sim; penerjun negara, Nur Dhabitah Sabri dan pelompat jauh negara, Abdul Latif Romly.

“Sejak lebih enam dekad lalu, MILO telah merintis kecemerlangan dan perkembangan arena sukan Malaysia. Kami bangga dapat menjadi sebahagian daripada pencapaian generasi baharu atlet Malaysia yang mewakili negara di persada dunia. Kegigihan dan dedikasi para atlet kita dapat menjadi contoh dan inspirasi terbaik kepada semua orang agar terus mengejar impian masing-masing,” kata Pn. Philomena Tan, Pegawai Eksekutif Perniagaan, Unit Perniagaan MILO, Nestlé Malaysia.

“Kami amat yakin sukan memainkan peranan yang penting dalam mempengaruhi kehidupan anak anda. Selain memanfaatkan kesihatan tubuh, sukan juga membantu anak anda mempelajari nilai-nilai positif kehidupan seperti kegigihan, semangat berpasukan dan dedikasi agar mereka terus maju dalam dunia yang berdaya saing,” kongsi Tan.

Tambahnya lagi: “Sebagaimana yang telah dikongsi oleh para atlet dan jurulatih negara, nilai-nilai murni ini dapat membantu melahirkan kanak-kanak yang serba-boleh dan lebih yakin dalam menghadapi pelbagai cabaran kehidupan.”

Dalam majlis tersebut, pemain skuasy negara, Ng Eain Yow  berkongsi pengalaman berharga yang dikutip sepanjang kerjaya sukannya. Menurutnya, disiplin, semangat berpasukan dan usaha tanpa mengenal erti putus asa merupakan kunci kerjayaan. Bagi Eain Yow, nilai-nilai ini bukan sahaja mendorong beliau agar menjadi atlet yang lebih baik tetapi juga memberi perubahan positif dalam pelbagai aspek kehidupannya.


Turut sependapat dengan Eain Yow adalah bekas ratu boling negara, Shazlin Zulkifli yang berkata, nilai-nilai murni yang diperoleh daripada sukan telah membantu mematangkan dirinya dalam menghadapi cabaran kehidupan harian. Kini, beliau turut menerapkan nilai-nilai murni yang sama dalam mendidik anak perempuannya.

Sementara itu, bekas guru dan jurulatih bola keranjang negara, Sim Sin Heng pula mendapati kanak-kanak yang aktif bersukan juga memiliki daya motivasi yang lebih tinggi. Golongan kanak-kanak ini lebih mudah berinteraksi dengan rakan sebaya dan akan menjadi individu yang lebih cekap. Pengalaman seperti ini tidak boleh diterap melalui buku dan hanya boleh diperoleh melalui pelbagai aktiviti fizikal luar.

Sejajar dengan komitmen untuk membangunkan bakat-bakat sukan negara, MILO mula memperkenalkan MILO Champions Clinic pada tahun 2015. Program yang berlangsung selama lapan minggu itu memberi peluang kepada kanak-kanak untuk berlatih di bawah satu panel jurulatih bertauliah bagi meneroka dan mengesan minat serta bakat sukan masing-masing.


Setakat hari ini, inisiatif MILO Champions Clinic telah berjaya memanfaatkan seramai 2,600 kanak-kanak dan memberi peluang kepada ibu bapa untuk mendorong anak-anak mereka agar lebih aktif bersukan.

Selain itu, MILO turut memanfaatkan dari inovasi teknologi dengan menyalurkan maklumat berguna kepada kanak-kanak dan mendorong mereka agar lebih aktif bersukan.

Terkini, MILO telah memperkenalkan MILO Champions Band – gelang kesihatan untuk kecergasan tubuh kanak-kanak di mana ini boleh dikendalikan menerusi aplikasi mudah alih bagi memudahkan ibu bapa memantau kadar nutrisi dan aktiviti anak-anak.


MILO akan terus komited dalam usaha membina generasi muda Malaysia menerusi pelbagai inisiatif dengan matlamat untuk membentuk mereka menjadi tunggak harapan bangsa dan negara. 

Berhubung itu  Tan berkata, “Kami yakin bahawa semua kanak-kanak adalah juara masa depan. Justeru, kami ingin membantu mereka mengecapi potensi sebenar mereka”

Sejak 1950-an, MILO telah memainkan peranan penting dalam usaha membangunkan arena sukan dan mendorong penglibatan bakat-bakat baharu dalam bidang sukan tempatan. MILO cekal dalam memberi sokongan kepada perkembangan budaya sukan khususnya dalam kalangan generasi muda Malaysia. 

Hari ini, komitmen MILO terhadap pembangunan bakat-bakat sukan negara masih berterusan menerusi penganjuran pelbagai inisiatif bagi mewujudkan peluang berharga kepada atlet-atlet negara. 

Selain itu, MILO turut menerapkan nilai-nilai penting seperti semangat berpasukan dan kegigihan dalam anak-anak muda menerusi aktiviti sukan.

EDOX MEET & GREET WITH SAUBER F1 DRIVER - PASCAL WEHRLEIN

As Premium Partner of the prestigious Formula One Sauber F1® Team, independent Swiss watch-maker, EDOX, held a meet and greet session with Sauber F1® Team driver Pascal Wehrlein on 27 September 2017 at the Marriot Putrajaya Hotel. Guests had a chance to take part in a photograph and autograph signing session as well as witness local youths who are aspiring F1® drivers interview Pascal Wehrlein.

In conjunction with the Malaysia Grand Prix, Edox was also proud to unveil its latest timepiece, Edox Chronorally Sauber F1® Team Limited Edition, specially created for the partnership between the two Swiss giants.





At the meet and greet event, Pamela Tan, Senior Brand Manager of Crystal Time, shared with guests more about EDOX and its new collection. Two exciting collections mentioned were the EDOX Chronorally Sauber F1® Team Limited Edition and EDOX Delfin Fleet 1650 Limited Edition.



Specially crafted for the fastest drivers on the planet, the new EDOX Chronorally Sauber
F1® Team Limited Edition shares the same hi-tech DNA of a Sauber Fomula One racing car
- a light but ultra-tough black titanium case and spectacular carbon fibre dial. The oversized
pushers, a signature look of the EDOX Chronorally collection, combined with the striking
blue strap, is sure to stand out even on the race track of Formula One.

The new EDOX Delfin Fleet 1650 Limited Edition, inspired by the story behind the sunken
fleet, is a true revival of the vintage Delfin timepiece collection launched in 1961. The navy
bezel and deep blue dial contrast beautifully against the bronze case and at the back of the
watch features a wind rose drawing that illustrates the last resting place of the sunken fleet.



Followed up was a candid interview between our local children who are aspiring F1® drivers
and Pascal Wehrlein. Many F1 drivers developed their skills from a young age and most
start from the go-karting arena. Therefore, it was apt to invite two aspiring young go-kart
drivers from Malaysia, Oscar Ng and Hayden Haikal who are both aged 13 to ask a few
questions to the F1 driver. By providing this special meet and greet session to the two young
drivers, Edox was proud to promote and encourage the racing scene in Malaysia.

Hayden Haikal is a shy 13 year old Malaysia who exerts his force only on the race track and
loves to race as he receives an adrenaline rush when he overtakes his opponents on the
race track. His inspiration for racing started from his father who is an avid fan of the F1 races

and a racer himself. Hayden wanted to know from the F1 driver what he would do if he were
not a F1 driver and Pascal Wehrlein shared that he would still be involved in cars as his
passion for cars runs deeps.

Oscar Ng is another aspiring racer from Malaysia who started his journey when he was 7
years old. While Oscar started racing due to encouragement from his father, he grew to love
the sport and today karts in many regional races to hone his skill. Oscar has grown to
become a focused young man who wanted to know from Pascal Wehrlein if training on a
simulator will help his to develop his skills on go-kart races. The F1 driver shared that
simulator training is in fact part of the training regime of every F1 team.



As a proud EDOX timepiece owner, Pascal Wehrlein also revealed that he continues to wear his EDOX watch and loves the details that EDOX puts in for its timepieces. He loves his Edox Chronorally timepiece as it is a watch that looks good in any occasion be it on the race track or on a dinner date.




A photograph and autograph signing session were also planned for the guests to get up
close and personal with Pascal Wehrlein. Polaroid pictures, which Pascal Wehrlein later
autographed on, were also taken for guests to bring home as a token from the event.
The Edox meet and greet with the Sauber F1 Team driver was an intimate affair with the
media and trade amidst the hustle and bustle of the Formula One Championship.

the constructors’ standings that year. In 2010 Sauber became an independent outfit once

Enclosed transcript of Question and Answers asked by Oscar,  Hayden and Pamela to Pascal that you may want to know:

Hayden
1. How do you prepare yourself for every race?
Pascal - It depends on which race. For this one (Malaysia Grand Prix) it’s very difficult for the drivers because it’s so hot! You’re (Hayden) used to it, because you live here. But for someone like me, from Europe, it’s very hot. So in Europe we started going to the Sauna to adjust to the humidity and we do a lot of endurance trainings to prepare for the heat.
2. What is the weirdest thing a fan has ever done to you?
I received phone numbers and text messages from strangers. That felt pretty weird for me.
3. If you were not a racer, what would you be doing?
If I were not a racer, I will still do things that are related to cars. Engineer or mechanic maybe? Definitely something about cars because I love them.
4. Other than your family, who do you look up to the most and why?
I look up to everybody in the sports industry because I know how tough it is. All the sports athletes are very respectable and I look up to them a lot.




Oscar Ng:-
1) What inspired you to be a racing driver?
Pascal - I’m always interested in racing. I started following F1 when I was 4 or 5 years old. I always watched F1 with my dad and there was once we went to Hokenheim, we watched a live race there. When I was 5 or 6 years, I told my dad that one day I want to be there, one day I want to drive these cars. After that, I started karting just like you, when I was 8 years old.
2) Do you set a certain target before a GP or do you just try to do your best and accept whatever you get?
Erm... I mean the target is always to win. But now at the moment it’s quite difficult to win F1 with a team other than Mercedes, Red Bull, or Ferrari. So you have to set different targets. But as you said, the most important things is to alway be ambitious and hungry to win races. But if it’s not possible, you just need to do your best.
3) Do you think computer games or racing simulator can help drivers to develop their skills?
We use simulators quite a lot. Mostly it’s for the engineers. But it’s also useful for the drivers if you go to a new track or when you join a new team. It’s very good to know the steering wheels, buttons, switches or the procedures though the simulator. But not so much for improving your skills, while the simulator is quite realistic, it is still different from the real cars.
4) How much knowledge of the technology of the cars do drivers need to know?
That really depends on the driver. Some drivers like to know everything while some drivers are not interested at all and just leave it to the team. Some drivers work closely with engineers and mechanics in the team. They tell them how the car feels and they will adjust the car to what they think is the best. For me, I am interested in everything such as how the car works, how you have to set it up with the new technology, I always want to know what is going on with the car.
5) How do you maintain your body fitness? Do you swim frequently?
Swimming? Not so much. Not so much swimming but I love running, I go to gym quite frequent, mountain biking and things like these.



Pemela
1. For you, what is timing all about?
Pascal - I think nowadays timing is everything. We have so many meetings in a day and we have to always be on time. When you are in the car, time is you biggest enemy! We wants to be as quick as possible.
Like I said, we have so many different meetings and appointments where we have to always be on time. So a good watch is very important!
2. What do you look out for a watch? What’s important in a watch for you?
First, it needs to look well on me, I have to like it, feels comfortable, always on time and easy to manage.
3. What do you like most about the Edox watch that we have?
It looks good when I race and when I go for dinner.
4. Last but not least, maybe you could share with our young aspiring drivers here, what is your one advice to them for their future in F1.
To pick 1 advice is very difficult. First, you have to love what you do. If you love racing, it’s definitely the right choice to pursue and it’s important to have the support from your family, sponsors and so on. It is equally important to try your best, be good at school. Dedication to training in order improve your fitness and be ambitious to win are also important. If you really want to achieve something, youhave to believe in it.

Bila dapat je cokelat Kit Kat.. mesti Kak Fas kepak satu-satu untuk menikmatinya... emmm memang sedap biskut disaluti cokelat itu.

Kerana itu jugalah bila mendapat undangan dari Kit Kat baru-baru ini Kak Fas tidak melepaskan peluang hadir bagi meraikan ulang tahun pertama kedai konsep KitKat “Chocolatory” pertama di Asia Tenggara yang terletak di pusat membeli-belah popular, Midvalley Megamall.

Sejak pembukaannya pada tahun 2016, KitKat “Chocolatory meneraju dunia pe produk mengikut tempahan dan pengkhususan di Kuala Lumpur serta memulakan trend dalam memberikan sentuhan peribadi kepada makanan. 

Satu-satunya kedai konsep yang seumpamanya ini begitu cepat menjadi tumpuan penggemar coklat untuk merasai pengalaman gastronomik mereka sendiri serta untuk mencuba edisi khas yang sedia dibeli dihasilkan untuk memikat citarasa konsumer di Malaysia.
Dengan pelbagai pilihan ramuan premium seperti badam panggang, karamel kenyal, kepingan cili pedas dan ramuan lazat lain, KitKat “Chocolatory” menawarkan sebanyak 10,000 kombinasi perisa yang berbeza untuk pilihan pengguna. Di samping itu, penggemar coklat juga dapat memilih rangkaian kotak hadiah dalam pelbagai warna dan corak yang berbeza serta mesej dan imej tersendiri untuk menambah sentuhan peribadi yang menarik dalam rekaan coklat mereka.

Kak Fas tidak ketinggalan merebut peluang mencipta perisa dan memilih corak kotak hadiah yang dikepingin.
Majlis bermula dengan ucapan daripada Sachin Goel, Pegawai Eksekutif Perniagaan di Unit Perniagaan Konfeksioneri Nestlé, ASEAN, “KitKat sentiasa berusaha untuk memberikan yang terbaik kepada pelanggan kami menerusi penggunaan bahan-bahan yang berkualiti tinggi dalam semua produk kami dan kini dengan KitKat “Chocolatory”, pelanggan dapat membawa pulang ciptaan mereka yang unik. Kami sentiasa mencari peluang untuk menepati citarasa pengguna dan ingin memberikan tahap sentuhan peribadi dan penyesuaian tempahan yang lebih berkualiti. Dengan itu, secara tidak langsung memberikan peluang kepada pengguna untuk turut terlibat dalam membantu membentuk jenama ini.”
 “Penggunaan ramuan dan kombinasi perisa sajian Malaysia bersesuaian dengan citarasa pelanggan dari produk tempatan dan juga antarabangsa telah menjadikan jenama ini lebih peka untuk menghasilkan semula rasa dari budaya yang berbeza. KitKat “Chocolatory” melihat peluang yang tidak berkesudahan untuk mencipta perisa Malaysia yang lebih inovatif pada masa yang akan datang. KitKat “Chocolatory” sentiasa merancang perisa baru yang menyeronokkan untuk para pelanggan kami, dan ia dilengkapi dengan beraneka pilihan ramuan yang akan menarik pelanggan untuk menghasilkan ciptaan mereka sendiri,” tambah Goel.
Sejak pelancarannya di Malaysia, KitKat “Chocolatory” telah menjadi peneraju dalam pengkhususan produk coklat, yang menyediakan platform bagi individualisme serta mendorong perpaduan di kalangan rakyat Malaysia menerusi perisa yang dikenali oleh semua lapisan masyarakat. 




Malah, KitKat“Chocolatory” telah berjaya memikat rakyat Malaysian melalui pelbagai perisa seperti Nasi Lemak, Deconstructed Ice Kacang, Ice Cream Potong, Traditional Onde Onde, Teh Tarik, Durian Delight, malahan ia telah mencipta varian dengan minuman kegemaran Malaysia, iaitu Milo.
“Rakyat Malaysia benar-benar unik dalam kebolehan mereka untuk mereka cipta perisa daripada makanan – seperti Nasi Lemak dan Onde Onde – dan menyesuaikannya dalam coklat. Kami berharap untuk meneruskan trend ini dan memperkukuhkan kedudukan kami dalam pasaran yang begitu kreatif ini,” sambung Goel.
Chef selebriti dan pakar perisa KitKat sejak tahun lepas, Anis Nabilah yang turut diundang berkata: “Saya berasa gembira kerana dapat turut serta bersama KitKat “Chocolatory” di Malaysia sepanjang setahun yang lalu. Ia benar-benar memberi peluang kepada saya untuk memperkembangkan kreativiti saya melalui jenama coklat yang sememangnya salah satu daripada kegemaran saya. Dengan bantuan KitKat, saya dapat menghasilkan rangkaian perisa yang menyeronokkan, yang saya rasakan benar-benar menjiwai selera Malaysia.”
“Dari Deconstructed Ice Kacang, Ice Cream Potong hinggalah ke Traditional Onde Onde, saya tidak akan melupakan asal-usul saya sebagai rakyat Malaysia, dan saya akan sentiasa berusaha untuk mendapatkan keseimbangan antara ramuan tempatan dari Malaysia dan ramuan antarabangsa yang eksotik untuk menghasilkan ciptaan KitKat saya yang tersendiri. KitKat “Chocolatory” memperlihatkan keunikan setiap orang pelanggan dengan membolehkan mereka menghasilkan ciptaan mereka sendiri dan hasilnya adalah begitu luar biasa,” sambung Anis.
Untuk meraikan ulang tahun KitKat “Chocolatory” yang pertama, Anis Nabilah disertai oleh selebriti-selebriti tanahair yang berkongsi minat terhadap KitKat serta kemampuan barunya untuk membawakan ciri tersendiri dalam setiap jejari.

JAPAN EXPO PULLS IN CROWD TO PAVILION KL

It was all an exciting and immersive 3 days  'Look East' event at the  Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s premier shopping destination recently.

Kak Fas was one of the media invited to witness the first  ever 'Japan Expo Malaysia 2017', an  All-Japan event which gathered Japan’s most iconic cultures, music, anime, art, fashion, food, travel and live entertainment to Malaysia, right here in the heart of Bukit Bintang.

Organised by G-Yu Creative Company, the exhilarating Japan Expo Malaysia 2017 (JEMY 2017) took place from the 28th to 30th July 2017 to coincide with Tokyo Street’s 6th Anniversary celebration and the 60th Anniversary of Japan-Malaysia diplomatic relations. 



Over 20,000 visitors and shoppers of the mall were treated to all things Japanese under one roof at Pavilion KL and Fahrenheit88 for unforgettable free entertainment and excitement all weekend.

JEMY 2017 started with a bang on Friday, 28th July 2017 when it was officially launched by Mr. Hiroyuki Orikasa, Counselor to the Embassy of Japan, Malaysia, Ms. Yupharet Eakturapakal, President of G-Yu Creative, the organizer of JEMY 2017 and Puan Sri Cindy Lim, Executive Chairman of Kuala Lumpur Pavilion Sdn Bhd by dropping a red token into a unique vending machine.



In an ode to the tremendous support from JEMY 2017 partners, representatives from JETRO Kuala Lumpur, The JAPAN FOUNDATION Kuala Lumpur, Siam Connection, Japan National Tourism Organization, Thai Airways International PCL and Tourism Malaysia KL were invited on stage with JEMY 2017 artistes Minori, Naomichi Hanazono and Thailand designer Kung Kunita for a group photo, before continuing on with a cake-cutting ceremony to commemorate the anniversary.



“JEMY 2017 aimed to incorporate all of Japan’s charm into one event, showcasing multiple genres of Japan’s originalities under one roof – from artistes, culture, fashion to food, even education. Every part of this event was a highlight in itself and we thank Pavilion KL for being great hosts for our first event,” said Ms. Yupharet Eakturapakal.

Also speaking at the event, Puan Sri Cindy Lim said, “This year, we celebrate our Tokyo Street 6th Anniversary and the 60th Anniversary of Malaysia-Japan relations with The Japan Expo Malaysia 2017, a special occasion where we celebrate togetherness, and bonding with the community. We want to thank G-Yu Creative, the Japan Embassy, key organisations, tenants and loyal shoppers for their continued support in fostering our community and creating an authentic Japanese experience for all.”





The celebrations continued over the weekend when Pop Sensation PIKOTARO, popular for his viral song, PPAP or better known as “Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen”, saw 8,000 of his loyal fans flock to the Centre Court for his first performance in Malaysia on Saturday, 29th July 2017.

The Japanese idol handpicked 20 lucky fans to join him onstage to do the PPAP dance and dedicated a Malaysian version especially for the event. He then got up-and-personal with fans when they got to meet their idol during his meet-and-greet session in the mall.

Patrons of Pavilion KL were also mesmerised by an exciting line up of artistes and teen idol groups from Japan, with special performances and appearances by Shigeru Matsuzaki, Maito from King Creamsoda, Ryoma Quartet, Naomichi Hanazono, PINK CRES, Haruka Yamashita and Reon Kurosaki. 





Cosplay fans also had a chance to rub shoulders with famous cosplayer Minori who headed the cosplayer parade at JEMY 2017 on Sunday, 30th July 2017.



Special booths promoting Japanese F&B, fashion, beauty, anime and education in Pavilion KL and Fahrenheit88 completed the ‘Infinite Japan’ experience, with food and cake sampling, Yukata dressing, Harajuku Fashion, exciting travel deals to Japan and Japanese products sold exclusively for JEMY 2017. 




Kak Fas loved the 'baby chicken' that was given as gift... at least the 'mother chicken' which Kak Fas got during the celebration of Chinese Festival at the same premise can now have a baby .,.. huhu.

Also for the first time mind you... Kak Fas finished all of the Bento Japanese set meal at the Fuji Sushi Japanese Restaurant after the event.... sedap gak tau hihi...

Arigato Gozaimas!

CANON LAUNCH 3 LATEST MODELS  AT  ONE GO

Before the birth of smartphones, cameras has always been a  must product to carry especially during vacations.

And when speaking of cameras... CANON was one of Kak Fas's favourite brand. Remembered bringing  an IXUS sponsored by CANON during my trip to Hong Kong Music Festival way back in late 90's when covering the event for HAI magazine as an editor, there.

It was a trip cum holiday well remembered till now though  I guess IXUS non digital camera no longer existed after the digital era took priority.

And now... most consumers preferred their smartphone which are designed with the capabilites of a camera. Its not only easy to shoot but with the smartphone everything could be done at fingertips.

Then  onwards... it has been many years since Kak Fas lost contact with officials from Canon Marketing (Malaysa) Sdn Bhd until started to blog. 

And recently, Kak Fas had the opportunity to be invited to the latest launch of Canon cameras and the best part is there were not only one but three cameras introduced at one go.


The event was held at Ruyi & Lyn at Bangsar Shopping Centre, Kuala Lumpur with models showcasing three Canon latest models in Malaysia  – the Canon EOS 800D, Canon EOS 77D and Canon EOS M6 which  are now available at all Canon Image Square and authorized dealers nationwide. 

Well that is sure good news for professional photographers but mind you though am not a pro but was attracted with the design and features. But most of all being  a female the Canon EOS M6 which was light weighted at 390 g attracted me most.

The EOS M6 boasts DSLR-like performance in a stylish, vintage-looking compact body,
offering the best of both worlds for photographers who crave the performance and experience of a DSLR within a compact-sized body.

Priced at RM3,409 (body only); RM3,949 (bundled with EF-M15-45mm f.3.5-6.3 IS STM lens) while bundled with EF-M18-150MM f/3 5-5.3 IS STM lens cost RM5,259.

Kak Fas had a hold and feel of the M6... and indeed it's the most suitable for ladies like Kak Fas who needed very much a camera to shoot sharp pix at long distance for blogging. Must try to review this awesome product or maybe could get sponsored so I could credit all pic to Canon EOS M6 hahaha... how lucky am I if dreams could turn to reality huhu...



Anyway, the other two products is also another impressive evolution by this leading imaging products and services solutions provider - the Canon EOS 800D and Canon EOS 77D. 

Actually the EOS 800D is invented for beginners who appreciate an intuitive Touchscreen Interface & Guided Mode.

In short, it is created for first time camera users. Maybe Kak Fas must try to review this one as well... who knows might turn to be a professional photo journalist by then as it comes with a step-by-step guide on how to use the camera.

So it is most suitable for a budding photographer who has yet to learn the ropes of photography but would still like to capture quality images. 

The Canon EOS 77D  however, is for hobbyists who are looking to upgrade their photo-taking skills.

It boasts some of the best-in-class imaging technologies and premium features to enhance the joy of photography as the EOS 77D is designed for accessible appeal to enthusiasts looking to sharpen their skills and make the transition to a high-powered DSLR camera. 

This camera is equipped with two control dials – a Main Dial that is on the top of the camera and a Quick Control Dial on the rear panel. With two options for dial control, users can now make quick changes to the camera settings, such as shutter speed and aperture, without having to take their eye off the viewfinder. 

At the event introducing all three models are Mr. Andrew Koh, President and Chief Executive Officer of Canon Marketing (Malaysia) Sdn.

OPPO 9Rs PLUS MILIKI KAMERA LEBIH HEBAT MACAM AYDA JEBAT

Semua kaki tech sudah tentu mengenali jenama telefon pintar OPPO.

Dan sudah tentu juga tahu siapa duta terbaharunya kan?

Ya tidak lain daripada penyanyi popular terkini iaitu Ayda Jebat serta artis Cina, Min Chen.

Kedua-duanya turut diperkenalkan kala OPPO Malaysia melancarkan OPPO R9s Plus di sebuah majlis baru-baru ini.

R9s Plus yang telah lama dinanti-nantikan ini dikuasakan dengan kamera belakang 16MP IMX398 yang dibangun bersama oleh OPPO dan SONY, f1.7 apertur dengan teknologi fokus dwi-PDAF. Bagaimanapun, pakar telefon pintar kamera tersebut kini memperkenalkan beberapa fungsi yang baru, iaitu Penstabilan Imej Optik (OIS) dengan kawasan anti-ketar yang lebih luas berbanding dengan OIS yang biasa terdapat di pasaran. Para pengguna juga boleh menikmati prosesor Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 yang baru dilancarkan, di samping kapasiti bateri yang dinaiktarafkan, membolehkan pengguna untuk menikmati pengalaman fotografi bertaraf profesional sepanjang hari.

Sudah tentu Ayda Jebat yang suka berselfie dan mengambil gambar ketika persembahan di pentas menepati sebagai duta terbaharu OPPO R9s Plus berkenaan.

Direka untuk cara hidup pengguna Malaysia yang aktif seperti Ayda dan Min Chen, OPPO R9s Plus dikuasakan dengan kapasiti bateri yang lebih besar supaya pengguna boleh menikmati kesemua fungsi telefon pintar tersebut secara menyeluruh, tanpa perlu bimbang akan hayat bateri. 

Satu lagi penaiktarafan yang ketara dilihat pada OPPO R9s Plus adalah RAM 6GB, ColorOS 3.0 bersama skrin paparan 6inci, menjadikannya sebuah peranti yang sesuai untuk Ayda Jebat.

“RAM yang telah dinaiktarafkan dalam OPPO R9s Plus ini amat berguna pada saya kerana saya sering melakukan pelbagai tugas menggunakan telefon pintar saya. Saya kini boleh melakukan sebanyak tugas yang diingini. Paparan 6inci OPPO R9s Plus juga memastikan saya boleh bekerja daripada telefon pintar saya dengan selesa!”, kongsi Ayda.


Manakala Min Chen pula berpendapat, “Saya amat suka akan penaiktarafan baterinya. Sebagai seorang selebriti, saya perlu sentiasa menghadiri pelbagai sesi penggambaran dan mesyuarat, dan saya sering tiada masa untuk mengecas telefon pintar saya. Saya juga amat suka menggunakan OPPO R9s Plus untuk menangkap setiap detik yang berharga. Kini, dengan kapasiti bateri 4,000 mAh yang terdapat pada R9s Plus, saya boleh mengambil gambar sepanjang hari tanpa perlu bimbang akan kehabisan bateri”, ujar Min Chen.

OPPO R9s yang dilancarkan awal tahun ini telah membawakan kejayaan yang galak di pasaran Malaysia, dengan jualan pra-tempahan dan jualan kedai yang memberangsangkan dan melebihi jualan OPPO F1s sebelum ini. 

Baru-baru ini, edisi Merah Valentine telah habis dijual di atas talian di dalam masa 48 jam sahaja selepas pra-tempahan bermula, dan telahpun habis dijual di kedai OPPO sebelum ia dijual secara rasminya. 

Suatu lagi pencapaian OPPO yang berjaya melonjakkan reputasi syarikat tersebut adalah telefon pintar OPPO edisi selebriti – F1s edisi Ayda Jebat dan R9s edisi Min Chen habis dijual dalam hanya masa beberapa hari, membuktikan populariti selebriti tersebut di kalangan rakyat Malaysia.

“Kami berasa amat teruja untuk melancarkan OPPO R9s Plus untuk pasaran Malaysia, kerana kami memahami keperluan peminat Malaysia kami yang senantiasa sibuk dan gemar menangkap serta berkongsi gambar aktiviti seharian mereka. Oleh kerana 2017 merupakan tahun fotografi mudah alih, OPPO ingin memberikan peminat setia kami di Malaysia sebuah versi telefon pintar yang lebih menonjol berbanding R9s. Kini, dengan R9s Plus, pengguna tidak lagi periu bimbang akan persoalan kejelasan gambar, keselesaan menonton, hayat bateri, dan ruang simpanan”, kata Chen Lu, Pengarah Jenama OPPO Malaysia.



Penstabilan Imej Optik (OIS), Sensor IMX 398 Terbaharu dan Teknologi Dwi-PDAF

OPPO R9s Plus membawa ke hadapan teknologi yang julung kalinya diperkenalkan pada OPPO R9s, di samping penambahan fungsi kamera yang lain. Yang kekal pada telefon pintar ini adalah kamera belakang 16MP, dilengkapi sensor 1./2.8inci SONY IMX398 yang disesuaikan dan dibangunkan bersama oleh SONY dan OPPO. Turut membuat kemunculan semula dalam R9s Plus adalah apertur f/1.7 ekstra-lebar yang berkebolehan memerangkap 40% lebih cahaya berbanding generasi sebelumnya. Satu tambahan baru pada R9s Plus adalah ciri OIS yang direka dengan kawasan anti-ketar yang lebih besar sebanyak 40%. Ini bermakna R9s Plus mampu mengendalikan lebih ketar, ditambah dengan lebih masa pendedahan yang menjanjikan gambar pemandangan malam yang amat jelas dan menawan.

Sama seperti R9s, kamera belakang R9s Plus menggunakan teknologi Dwi-PDAF, satu peningkatan generasi akan datang dari penyelesaian standard PDAF. Generasi pertama PDAF hanya mempunyai setengah pixel untuk memfokus, sebaliknya Dwi-PDAF meningkatkan sehingga 100% pelbagai kawasan piksel sensor yang dilengkapi dengan fotodiod khas yang diperlukan untuk fasa pengesanan autofokus, membolehkan pemfokusan sepantas kilat, walaupun dalam cahaya rendah dan menghasilkan imej yang sangat jelas.

Prestasi lebih hebat untuk pengalaman fotografi yang menyeluruh

R9s Plus dikuasakan dengan pemproses 1.95GHz Snapdragon 653, dan dilengkapi RAM 6GB dan 64 GB ROM yang boleh dikembangkan dengan tambahan 128 GB bagi memastikan pengguna mempunyai ruang yang secukupnya untuk menyimpan detik-detik bermakna yang ditangkap dengan kamera belakang R9s Plus. Telefon pintar tersebut turut dinaik taraf dari segi bateri. Ia kini disokong oleh bateri berkapasiti 4,000mAh. Kini, penggemar fotografi boleh menangkap gambar yang jelas dan menarik sepanjang hari!

Makin besar, makin baik

Satu lagi penaiktarafan yang wajar diberi perhatian adalah paparan sebesar 6inci yang terdapat pada R9s Plus, dengan resolusi HD penuh, berbanding dengan R9s yang hanya mempunyai paparan sebesar 5.5inci. Ia menggunakan Color OS 3.0 daripada OPPO, berdasarkan Android 6.0.1.. Kini, pencinta fotografi boleh mengagumi karya-karya mereka dengan selesa di atas skrin yang lebih besar. Bukan itu sahaja, aktiviti harian seperti bermain permainan dan menonton drama dengan telefon pintar pastinya lebih mudah dengan paparan 1920 x 1080 piksel yang terdapat pada R9s Plus.

OPPO R9s Plus akan dijual secara rasmi pada harga RM2,498 di atas talian dan kedai OPPO, serta laman web e-dagang dan syarikat telekomunikasi yang bekerjasama dengan OPPO bermula 1 Mac 2017. OPPO turut menawarkan insuran OPPO CARE untuk OPPO R9s Plus ini.

Kak Fas memang kaki ais krim..... terutama aiskrim bersalut cokelat di luar... memang my favourite.


Jadi apabila mendapat tahu mengenai pelancaran ais krim dari jenama yang tidak asing lagi iaitu Nestle.... sudah tentu Kak Fas tidak mahu melepaskan peluang hadir.

Sebaik mendaftarkan diri Kak Fas nampak satu sudut yang agak menarik di mana para tetamu dan media serta bloggers  berpeluang bermain dengan belon air untuk di campakkan pada sebuah 'poster' gergasi.

Kira lontaran Kak Fas walaupun agak ke sisi... ok la haha... nampak tak yang sebelah kiri rona merah pada poster di atas tu...ha tu lah lontaran Kak Fas hihi...

Selepas melontar baharulah nampak satu label yang memperlihatkan lambang warna belon yang dipilih.... di sebelah warna merah tertulis 'Courageous"... kira Kak Fas seoran yang 'berani' lah sebab pilih merah kan  hahah... 
Dalam pada itu sempat gak Kak Fas bergambar dengan Cheryl Samad (pix atas) yang dah lama juga tak jumpa beliau.
Dan lebih mengejutkan apabila poster inilah yang diangkat kemudiannya untuk menjadi latar belakang pelancaran La Cremeria Classically Mint aiskrim berperisa pudina yang  berlangsung di Zebra Square, Kuala Lumpur baru-baru ini.

'SUNSILK HIJAB RECHARGE' HASILKAN HARUMAN 48 JAM

Syampu untuk wanita berhijab...?? Emm... 'sounds interesting..." 

Bila mendapat tahu yang jenama syampu kegemaran Kak Fas, SUNSILK menghasilkan syampu khas untuk wanita berhijab yang dinamakan "Sunsilk Hijab Recharge" ... sudah tentu ia menarik perhatian khalayak dan Kak Fas khususnya.

Ya lah macam mana agaknya rupa syampu yang boleh 'recharge' tu... macam batteri pulak...

Keraguan Kak Fas terjawab sewaktu hadir pada majlis pelancaran rangkaian syampu :Sunsilk Hijab Recharge" yang berlangsung dalam suasana santai tetapi kreatif di Glasshouse, Seputih baru-baru ini.

Ya lah bagi kebanyakan gadis memakai hijab merupakan ekspresi luaran secara peribadi yang mempamerkan tahap keimanan dan melambangkan keutuhan mereka dalam memenuhi tuntutan agama.

Namun demikian, kesihatan rambut walaupun ketika bertudung juga amat penting untuk memberi lebih keyakinan. Tidak lupa juga, keperluan serta cabaran penjagaan rambut bagi mereka yang berhijab adalah unik berbanding mereka yang tidak bertudung. 


Memahami permasalahan tersebut, pengenalan 'Sunsilk Hijab Recharge', rangkaian produk penjagaan rambut yang direka khusus bagi hijabster menawarkan kesegaran serta keharuman berpanjangan, dan manfaat terbaik dari bahan semula jadi yang asli, 


Vincent Chong, Pengarah Pemasaran bagi Penjagaan Peribadi dan Rumah, Unilever (Malaysia) Holdings Sdn. Bhd. dalam ucapan ringkasnya pada majlis memberitahu, “Seramai lebih kurang 80% dari wanita di Malaysia memakai hijab sepanjang masa, dan ia telah menjadi satu fenomena fesyen. Selaku peneraju dalam pasaran syampu dan perapi rambut di Semenanjung Malaysia, adalah amat penting bagi kami untuk sentiasa berevolusi mengikut trend terkini dan gaya hidup pengguna yang sentiasa berubah.  'Sunsilk Hijab Recharge' melambangkan usaha gigih kami untuk terus memperkenalkan produk berinovasi, dan terus menjadi teman dalam penjagaan rambut untuk semua gadis-gadis Sunsilk di luar sana.”

Ada kebenarannya dalam kata-kata Vincent Chong itu... maklumlah dalam keadaan cuaca yang panas dan lembap sekarang...mudah sahaja rambut kita berkuap  lalu mudah berpeluh waima kulit kepala berminyak.

Keadaan sedemikian menyebabkan rasa tidak selesa malah berkemungkinan untuk rambut berbau busuk juga adalah amat tinggi, dan pastinya ia akan mengugat tahap keyakinan diri.

Jadi apa istemewanya syam terbaharu ini?

Jawapannya terkandung dalam  teknologi 'Fragrance Release Pearls' yang terdapat dalam pek 'Sunsilk Hijab Recharge' di mana setiap kali anda menyentuh rambut yang berada di dalam tudung ia akan menghasilkan  kesegaran dan keharuman berpanjangan sehingga 48 jam* – produk pertama di pasaran yang memiliki keupayaan praktikal namun luar biasa.  

Sebaik sahaja rambut anda dibasuh dengan Sunsilk Hijab Recharge, kapsul haruman akan tersimpan dan terus kekal dalam rambut.  Kapsul ini kemudiannya akan pecah apabila terkena sentuhan yang lembut lantas membebaskan aroma wangian yang harum. 

Tambahan pula, aroma wangian yang harum ini akan bertambah kuat seiring dengan pertambahan geseran antara tudung dengan rambut anda.  Dalam erti kata lain, lebih banyak anda menggerakkan kepala, rambut anda akan lebih berbau wangi!

Ha.. u alls itu dia rahsianya bagaimana menggunakan syampu ini mampu mengekalkan haruman dan kesegaran pada rambut.



Dihasilkan melalui usahasama pakar penjagaan rambut secara semula jadi Jamal Hammadi, 'Sunsilk Hijab Recharge' yang baharu ini diformulasikan dengan menggunakan keajaiban bahan semula jadi yang asli untuk menangani cabaran utama masalah rambut yang dihadapi oleh hijabster.


Segar Berhijab atau Hijab Refresh, keajaiban dalam warna pastel hijau, yang diperkayakan dengan pati buah tin dan dikenali juga sebagai buah-buahan syurga di kalangan orang Islam.  Kaya dengan antioksidan, ia membantu membersihkan kulit kepala dari peluh, kesan berminyak, sel kulit mati serta rambut berminyak bagi mengekalkan kesegaran yang berpanjangan. 
Anti Rambut Gugur atau Lively Strong Hairfall** Solution, yang diperolehi dalam botol pastel oren yang ceria, diformulasikan dengan ekstrak akar ginseng. Terkenal dengan kemampuannya untuk mengekalkan nutrien, memperkuatkan rambut serta mengurangkan keguguran rambut.
Anti Kelemumur atau Anti Dandruff, kehebatan yang terdapat dalam botol warna biru, telah direka untuk menangani permasalahan kelemumur melalui pengunaan pati buah-buahan sitrus untuk menghasilkan rambut lembut bermaya, serta agen anti-kelemumur ZPT yang akan membasmi sel kulit mati dan menghalangnya dari berlaku semula***.

** Akibat rambut putus, berdasarkan ujian makmal dengan penggunaan sistem berbanding syampu tanpa perapi.

*** Tiada kelemumur kelihatan dengan pengunaan kerap 

“Pengguna masa kini lebih prihatin, dan lebih cenderung untuk menggunakan produk penjagaan rambut yang dibuat menggunakan bahan semula jadi yang asli serta mampu memberikan lebih banyak manfaat. Kerana itu, kami memilih untuk mengggunakan kelebihan bahan semula jadi yang asli untuk menangani keperluan penjagaan rambut hijabster masa kini dan dipertingkatkan lagi melalui gabungan teknologi penjagaan rambut yang terkini dan canggih.  Pengguna sentiasa menjadi keutamaan jenama, dan kami bersungguh-sungguh dalam usaha untuk membantu gadis-gadis di luar sana memiliki rambut yang lembut menawan melalui kaedah yang mudah dan menyeronokkan,” ujar Phoenix Ho, Pengurus Pemasaran, Unilever (Malaysia) Holdings Sdn. Bhd. 


Selain dari memupuk keyakinan diri hijabster melalui rambut yang sihat dan segar bermaya, Sunsilk mempertingkatkan lagi penglibatan mereka dengan menghiasi gadis-gadis di luar sana dengan hijab bergaya yang direka unik dan anggun serta boleh dipadankan dengan pakaian mereka mengikut trend terkini.

Who wouldn't love the color of PINK! 

Even little girls love pink as the color is sweet, soft and awesome. So, one can conclude that Pink is actually a colour meant for Ladies, women, girls or whatever you may call it for females.

Thus, when Guardian Malaysia chose their event called  "The Confidence in Pink" in conjunction with celebrating International Women’s Day recently... the move was perfect.

Guardian Malaysia will be holding a national roadshow to commemorate the incredible achievements made by women today and throughout history. 



'The Confidence in Pink Roadshow' will hold exciting activities across states to raise awareness of the global International Women’s Day, as well as a special sale reward women with special offers and tokens of appreciation.

“International Women’s Day is an important global event that not only calls for an inclusive gender equal world but also shines a spotlight on the amazing contributions and achievements by women to society and culture,” said David Wong, Marketing Manager of Guardian Health and Beauty Sdn Bhd. 

“With our Confidence in Pink national roadshow, we want to inculcate a sense of assertiveness and self-assurance, which is why we are also holding a Confidence Booster Sale of up to 50% for women products so that Malaysian women can get their glam on.”

Each 'Confidence in Pink' roadshow throughout the state will see 7 Pink Ambassadors, who can be easily identified by their Confidence in Pink tag on their white shirts. 

Customers who approach our ambassadors will be given a redemption card and free Pink Wristband.  By bringing the redemption card to the particular Guardian Malaysian store where they originally received the card, customers will be able to redeem their mystery gifts. 


Featuring motivational words such as “BE HAPPY”, “DREAM BIG”, and “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE”, the free Pink Wristbands serve as a tangible motivational reminder for wearers to believe in their capabilities to effect change in their lives. 

The colour pink was chosen for the wristbands to represent compassion, nurturing and unconditional love, reflecting the strong feminine traits of Malaysian women. 

The Pink Wristbands will also have an added benefit for all Guardian Malaysia customers. 



Pink Wristband wearers will enjoy an additional 10% off on Cosmetics and Female Facial Cleansers at Guardian Malaysia outlets from now until 30 March 2017.

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is #BeBoldForChange, a clarion call for all women and girls to not be afraid to achieve their ambitions.

SUNWAY PUTRA HOTEL 'LIGHTENS'  THE UNDERPRIVILEGED 

Since it was acquired in  2012 by Sunway REIT and undergone refurbishment, this is the first time Kak Fas step foot into the 650 room Sunway Putra Hotel as it is now known.

Formally, this venue stood the 'Legend Hotel'  and although  a thorough renovation had been done but the main structure still welcome back memories of yesterdays.



Alright now, lets go back to reality....

Recently, Kak Fas had the opportunity to step back into this memorable building  opposite the iconic Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), where Sunway Putra Hotel is situated next to the  all -new Sunway Putra Mall, of which before it was known as The Mall.



Thanks to the invitation by its friendly and sweet Executive Marketing Communications, Nik Saifatul Azkia (above, middle), Kak Fas together with blogger, Misz Ella (above, right) as she is popular called by friends, had the pleasure of celebrating together Sunway Putra Hotel's 'Time to Give" annual corporate social responsibility initiative, with about 80 underprivileged children and single mothers.


The children and single mothers that were feted at the hotel, were mostly abused, orphaned and/or underprivileged from three different homes in the Klang Valley,  namely Rumah SVP Klang, Rumah Ozanam Klang and Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Lagenda. 

This initiative was brought to the hotel's attention by two benefactors - the Simple Souls which was founded by Sashi Kumar Nair, his wife Sumita Yashvant Kumar and assisted by his childhood friend Mr. Shanmugayogan Shanmuganthan, and Charity Food Basket Society Klang which was founded by Mr. Chew Song Kong.




Their initial idea was to treat these unfortunate children to a good meal at a 5-star hotel. 

However, in the spirit of good triumphing evil and light over dark that represents the purpose of the Festival of Lights, Sunway Putra Hotel collaborated with Sunway Putra Mall which is adjacent to the hotel, to develop a program that is more than just an open house concept for the children. 

Sunway Putra Mall had graciously sponsored RM 10 vouchers for each child to  spent at the TCBY Frozen Yogurt & Mrs Field’s Cookies outlet located on the Lower Ground at the mall.

This activity was intended to give the children an experience in shopping for themselves and at the same time the pleasure of enjoying ice-cream and cookies. 



Next the children, spent about an hour playing at the Playland, Parenthood located on Level 2, Sunway Putra Mall. Parenthood sponsored 80 Limitless Play vouchers that introduced these children to edutainment and fun-filled time in their indoor playground. 



After much shopping and fun,  the excited children were then ushered to the Sunway Putra Hotel where they were treated to a Hi-Tea fit for a king with popular Indian dishes such as Lamb Kofta with Masala, Biryani Rice, Chicken Kurma and Vegetable Dhall Curry. 

Speaking at the event, Sunway Putra Hotel Director of Finance, Mr. Sivamayam Gunaratnam on behalf of General Manager Sunway Putra Hotel, Mr. Christopher Bong said, “Sunway Putra Hotel has always been committed to foster harmony in our society and empower the lives of our future generation. Therefore, it is our privilege to live these values through our initiative today.”



“Having said that, we are also proud to announce that this would be our biggest corporate social responsibility initiative to-date, after having wrapped up our refurbishment and renovation exercise that lasted almost three (3) years in December 2015,” he continued. 

'Time to Give' Sunway Putra Hotel, launched in December 2015, is a CSR program that reaches out to the underprivileged and less fortunate during festive seasons throughout the year. The campaign also encourages employees of the hotel to participate and volunteer their time and capabilities to help these unfortunate members of the society. 



Other highlights at the event, was the presentation of 120 hampers to the underprivileged children and single mothers as well as “duit raya” which were solely arranged by Simple Souls and Charity Food Basket Society Klang.

MBA DAPAT PENGIKTIRAFAN WBC

Siapa tidak kenal kepada ahli sukan tinju profession seperti Allahyarham Muhammad Ali mahu pun Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Robinson  atau pun Manny Pacquiao.

Mereka antara nama yang masih kekal masyhur dibibir peminat sukan tinju  namun persoalannya mungkinkah ada anak tempatan yang boleh setanding dengan mereka?

Bila agaknya sukan tinju negara mampu melahirkan nama besar di peringkat antarabangsa? Hanya Allah yang maha mengetahui jawapan itu betul tak? 

Apa pun yang perlu manusia lakukan adalah usaha dan biarkan Tuhan menentukan kejayaannya.


Dan sebagai langkah awal, World Boxin Council (WBC), sebuah organisasi terkemuka dalam sukan tinju professional baru-baru ini telah mengumumkan
 dengan rasmi pengesahannya terhadap Malaysia Professional Boxing Association (MBA) sebagai satu-satunya pentas  yang dengan rasminya diiktiraf untuk peninju-peninju tempatan memakbulkan impian untuk mencapai peringkat antarabangsa.

Dengan pengiktirafan itu barangkali dapatlah para peninju negara melakukan latihan profesional dalam merealisasikan cita-cita mereka  mencipta nama di peringkat global.
I
Pengiktirafan berkenaan diperoleh dengan persetujuan  WBC dan MBA yang mencipta platform kepada peninju-peninju tempatan untuk membuktikan kehebatan mereka.

Setiausaha Agung WBC Asia, Patrick Cusick berkata, “Kami memang teruja bekerjasama dengan MBA kerana kami percaya terdapat ramai bakat-bakat tinju di Malaysia dan kawasan sekitarnya. Kami seakan-akan menemui sebuah lombong berlian yang belum digali! Kini kami sedia untuk menggali.”

Pengerusi MBA dan Pengarah Urusan Muayfit Puchong, Raymond Lew  pula  dalam ucapannya berkata, , “Memang impian semua peninju boleh berbangga untuk bertanding di tempat-tempat glamor seperti Las Vegas dimana Mike Tyson atau Manny Pacquiao pernah bertarung. Namun, peninju-peninju Malaysia tidak pernah mendapat peluang ini kerana kami tidak pernah mempunyai pengiktirafan darpada mana-mana badan rasmi. Hari ini, kami menunaikan impian ini!”



Hari berkenaan (30 Oktober 2016)  juga merupakan kesudahan sebuah seminar yang berlangsung selama 2 hari dengan ahli panel terdiri daripada :-

Patrick Cusick – Setiausaha Agung WBC Asia, Lembaga Gabenor WBC, Ahli Jawatankuasa Kedudukan (Rating) WBC

Bruce McTavish – Pemenang Pelbagai Anugerah dan Pengadil Tinju Termasyhur, Ketua Pengadil & Hakim WBC

Brico Santig – Promoter Terbaik WBC OPBF

Ketiga-tiga pakar ini mempersembahkan sijil pengesahan kepada peserta yang menghabiskan seminar 2 hari, langsung menjadikan mereka hakim dan pengadil yang sah dibawah WBC.

Seminar ini hanya langkah pertama di mana acara lebih besar yang akan datang meliputi Kejohanan WBC Asia, buat pertama kalinya dijadualkan di Malaysia pada Januari 2017. 

Peninju-peninju tempatan bakal beraksi manakala pengadil-pengadil dan hakim-hakim yang dilantik bakal menjalankan tugas mereka.

Acara utama merupakan pertarungan kejohanan untuk merebut pingat dan tali pinggang WBC Asia Featherweight, suatu pertarungan antara Siapa? Dari mana? dan Siapa? Dari mana?

Malaysia Professional Boxing Association (MBA) merupakan satu-satunya organisasi di Malaysia yang disahkan oleh World Boxing Council (WBC) untuk melatih dan menganjurkan kejohanan tinju. Muayfit ialah afiliasi MBA yang diakui oleh www.mmamania.com dan www.thefightnation.comsebagai salah satu daripada 10 gim MMA terbaik di seluruh Asia.

World Boxing Council (WBC) dibentukkan pada tahun 1963,  merupakan organisasi terkemuka dunia dalam sukan tinju profesional. Antara mereka yang pernah diiktiraf oleh WBC sebagai juara dunia adalah Floyd Mayweather Jr, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson dan Manny Pacquiao.

BRING OUT THE  BEST OF YOU WITH JULIE"S

 “Who is the best of you?” 


This seems like a simple question. 


But mind you, given a postcard and a pen to write about the best of you in less than 5 minutes might even  lead you to stare still for a moment in finding words to express yourself. We really do need a while to think about it. 


But glad I manage to write bout the best of myself as a wife, a mother and a carier women but most of all my journalistic experience for the past 28 years.

You want to read what Kak Fas says? No need laaa haha.... but if you still insist then drop by at the exhibition and find my hanging postcard there..... my pics is with the popular Fahrin Ahmad okey? haha...

THAT'S my postcard (top pix, 2n row, middle, and sorry ther person who took my pix below didnt focus well,,,too white  huhu.


Yours truly kinda ezperience the same situation while attending the exhibition of The Best of You' at AEON Bandaraya Bersejarah in Melaka recently.



Actually, this movement initiated by biscuit manufacturer, Julie's started way back in 2014, launched in Malaysia and Singapore, but this is the first time Kak Fas was introduced to such programme thanks to Swee Lan, the friendly PR  from Singnan Communications Sdn Bhd who invited me  to witness the exhibition in Melaka that runs from 19 October till 23 October 2016 recently.



In Malaysia, the movement received almost 4,000 participation during their exhibition road tours at UNIKL, AEON Bukit Tinggi, AEON Shah Alam dan Gurney Plaza, Penang this year.



At first sight, Kak Fas was like at lost as to what the exhibition was all about. but later while viewing the exhibits displayed around, made me understand more... and that was the reason as to why Kak Fas was like speechless in thoughts as what to write about  the best of me when given a postcard that would then be attached with our  pictures taken at the event with the hashtag #juliesforthebest and then hang at the exhibition with others.



So, with the rest of the public, Julie's invites all to submit their personal stories of people, things or experiences that have brought out the best in them, which is an intiative that should  applaude by all races.

This social awareness movement celebrates family ties and social acceptance and runs in Singapore and Malaysia until November. Its about finding quite moments inour busy lives to take stock of ou accomplishments and appreciate our lives.

"The many seemingly small actions and achievements in our lives that are often neglected and forgotten are actually monumental. They represent our best efforts and stem from the love we have," quoting Mr. Sai Tzy Horng  (below) as Consultant, The Best of You.



He added, The Best of You is a nutural demonstrations of Julie's belief in doing good to do well in their business.

"It also offers Julie's internal team a space to share their stories and to build camaraderie. It's a simple gesture from our part to stay connected to the comunity," added Horng.

And together with Horng at the event were honoured personalities in their various fields such as actor and host, Fahrin Ahmad (above) and  radio DJ, Chui Ling (below) as well as Siti Rahayu a co founder of an NGO 'Buku Jalanan Chow Kit'.




With them entertaining guest are performance by Sada Borneo group that specialised in blending modern music with traditional musical instruments.


Other personalities that were invited during the five day event are artiste Adibah Noor, Workaholic Dickson and more.

So dear readers, while people shared their stories, many others were inspired and even empowered by most of the empowering  words written.




With these stories, 'The Best of You" movement hopes more  people  will come out and share theirs as by doing so, these stories will go on to encourage and spur on others.

Who knows your stories  might just change someone else’s life… and yours too.  Sharing is caring right? So, tell us about The Best of You.

"This jersey collection is hoped to unite Malaysia at large. It was designed with the idea of our Malaysian identity, incorporating the 8 1Malaysia values, on an improved jersey material and quality," said Dr. Faiz I. Anuar when met at the launch of  Abstrax Vortex #!Malaysia jersey at Abstrax Headquarters in Shah Alam recently.


The material is lightweight and comforting, a suitable choice to wear in any season nationwaide and globally. If you look closely  at the design, you will find the  8 1Malaysia values written on the V shaped  which reads - Budaya Kecemerlangan (Culture of Excellence), Ketabahan (Perseverance), Kerendahan diri  (Humility), Penermaan (Exceptance), Kesetiaan (Loyalty), Meritokrasi (Meritocracy), Pendidikan (Education) and Integrti.)Integrity).

CATCH #TRANSFORMERS @ 1UTAMA DAMANSARA NOW

TRANSFORMERS mania.... head out to 1Utama Damansara (Old Wing) now if you wouldnt want to miss the 'Meet & Greet' session that will be happening only for two days - today and ends tomorrow.


Yours truly am sure you and your kids would love it especially if you are crazy of the autobots #Optimus Prime and #Bumblebee.

The session to be up close and personal with them starts at 3 pm, 5pm and 8.30 pm only.

And you should thank Hasbro (Malaysia) for bringing in  this TRANSFORMERS brand extravaganza  with different exhibits and activities that promise to bring smiles from the neophytes to even the most avid TRANSFORMERS collectors and hobbyists.

During the media launch recently, guest and shoppers were lucky enough to wefies and selfies with the  limited edition Chevrolet Camaro featured in the previous TRANSFORMERS movie which was  unveiled and placed on display for three hours. The car was believed to be one out of only five vehicles in Malaysia. 



Speaking at the launch, Ms. Kelly Yip (pix, top) Brand Manager of Hasbro Toy (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. said,

 “Since 1984, The TRANSFORMERS brand has been bringing entertainment and excitement to kids and fans with our beloved characters like BUMBLEBEE and OPTIMUS PRIME. This event embodies what all of us at Hasbro have worked hard and strived to do, that is to deliver immersive entertaining experience of our brands and story-telling to our consumers, and engage our fans anywhere, anytime, any platform.” Hasbro Toy (Malaysia) is the fully owned subsidiary of Hasbro Inc.

TRANSFORMERS characters Optimus Prime and Bumblebee that  made an appearance at the launch did not fail to mesmerise fans, young and old.  Avid fans also had the opportunity to witness a special display consisting of collectors’ and limited edition figures over the course of the entire event.

Throughout the duration of the 11-day event, visitors will be treated to a special display of collectors’ and limited edition figures over the course of the event.





Meanwhile, children will be entertained by a host of activities to keep them occupied during the holidays.

Winners of this challenge, which will be held during the weekends, will walk away with a Generations Combiner Leader Figure worth RM249.90.



Meanwhile, children aged 5-12 will be given the opportunity to bring out their inner TRANSFORMERS character in the Dynamic 5 Challenge which is designed to promote teamwork and leadership, both of which make up of the essence of the TRANSFORMERS story. 


Participants will receive a TRANSFORMERS gift upon completion and have the opportunity to have their photo taken with Bumblebee and Optimus Prime statues in front of a cinematic TRANSFORMERS visual background.





The iconic TRANSFORMERS started off as a comic series in the 1980s before evolving into an animated television series that depicts a war amongst the  Autobots and Decepticons that can transform from robots into vehicles and other objects.



BLOGGER, Jocko bersama Optimum Prime.
Set against Cybertron and Earth, the series showcases the Autobots’ continuous battle against the Decepticons to protect the humans. It touches on teamwork and leadership, as showcased by the affinity they have with each other and the respect they show to their leader.

SPEND FAMILY  'TIME TOGETHER' AT PUTERI HARBOUR

It was about few  years ago when yours truly visited  Puteri Harbour, in the vicinity of Iskandar Puteri, before known as Nusajaya. At that time, there was little development, only Puteri Harbour was in its final stage of development then,

Recently, having the opportunity to visit Puteri Harbour, hailed as the ‘Jewel of Iskandar Puteri’ upon an invitation by Go Communication as media relation to witness the launch of 'time together' was an exciting and a reminiscence one.

‘Time.together’, is  an initiative aimed at encouraging public to spend quality time with family and friends at the surroundings of Puteri Harbour.



The launch was completed with a plaque signed by the Director General of Tourism Malaysia, Dato’ Mirza Mohammad Taiyab, accompanied by Tunku Dato’ Ahmad Burhanuddin, Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotels Sdn. Bhd at Hotel Jen, Iskandar Puteri, Johor Darul Ta’zim recently. 

Also present to celebrate the launch were Mr Sigi Bierbaumer, General Manager Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour and Philip Whittaker, Group Chief Markeing Officer, Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotels Sdn Bhd.

 A group of about 23 media and bloggers were taken on a night’s stay at Hotel Jen to witness the auspicious event that was also graced by the iconic white Japanese bobtail cat with a red bow, ‘Hello Kitty’ or full name ‘Kitty White’  loved by all worldwide. 



The ‘time.together’ initiative will see the world class waterfront living embarking on several projects that  bring unforgettable moments to adults and children alike.


Among those projects include a special collaboration between Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour and Sanrio Hello Kitty Town, to exclusively designed Hello Kitty themed hotel rooms for families and fans of the beloved icon. 

Viewing one of the eight limited Hello Kitty theme rooms available at Hotel Jen, it is indeed an example of cute meets modern.



All interior design  are sustained in the Hello Kitty  pink colour may it be dark or light with a combination of black paneling and linings.



Entering the room, the  oversized Hello Kitty wall decal work above the double bed is indeed a great eye catcher. An LCD TV-set mounted on wall opposite and other decorative feature with hello kitty inspired items complementing the décor provides the room with cute and fun note as what’s written on the wall:




“ Hi there, I’m Hello Kitty. I live in a town in the suburbs of London. It’s full of lovely nature, but there are lots of shops too. It’s such a nice place and all the people are so kind. I love my town”.


Though the room rates were not disclosed yet during our visit, EFY am sure Hello Kitty lovers  wouldn’t mind paying to stay in the fascinating yet enchanting Hello Kitty room but off course without the living character herself. Hello Kitty just made her short appearance for the media to shoot their best picture of her cute pose in this tender and soft Hello Kitty Bedroom.


True to the welcome note of Tunku Dato Ahmad Burhanuddin that  said, “by providing an avenue to foster better personal connections with family, loved ones and friends, Puteri Harbour’s time.together initiative can build and strengthen bonds through the quality of time spent together.”

Aside the latest Hello Kitty room, the initiative also showcases other  family-friendly activities in the region. These include visits to Sanrio Hello Kitty Town, the largest integrated Hello Kitty themed offering in South East Asia which gives visitors the only complete Hello Kitty experience outside of Japan, and Thomas Town, the home of all time family favourite characters – Thomas & Friends. 



At Puteri Harbour, this   688-acre integrated urban waterfront development with a 13.5-km coastline located along the Puteri Narrows or Sempitan Puteri, the most narrow point of the Straits of Johor, does not only provide a one-stop access to premier waterfront living with unparalleled and unique experience in leisure and entertainment but other lifestyle amenities for the entire family.




It includes the Puteri Harbour Marina, recognized among the global sailing community as one of the ‘must sail destinations’ in the world, yet the first in Malaysia to be recognized and awarded with 5 Gold Anchor Award by The Yatch Harbour Association, United Kingdom in February 2014.

The Puteri Harbour International Ferry Terminal provides an alternative point of entry for the international tourists and currently offers ferry services to Tanjung Balai and Batam, Indonesia.


Though the media were given a short stay, EFY were glad to be amongst the chosen first group to experience a ‘sunset cruise’ on the yatch named “Black Pear” geared by its owner and captain Michael Jones. The second group had to board for a night cruise.

The cruise on board the USD113 million yatch was indeed exciting though there was no watching for the  sun to set as unfortunately it rained during our sail for one and a half hours beginning 6.15 pm.


According to Jones, his yatch has taken him to sail as far as Langkawi for 51 hours, yet being his only ‘home’, ‘Black Pearl’ is his life.

His assistant, Ms Gill, provided us with light refreshment and snacks, making us feel comfortable while viewing Puteri Harbour marina from the sea, set along beautiful promenade garden to a backdrop of one of the best-planned waterfront developments in the world. Indeed, a sight to behold.



For those who are searching for serenity, they can board  ‘Black Pearl’ at a rate of RM1,000 per hour while anchoring charges would cost additional RM150 per hour. When you are on sea, it is really a time away spend together, leaving the hectic life behind with peace of mind while feeling the ocean breeze blowing to the heart’s content.

As the  saying goes, “A family that eats together stays together”. Staying at Puteri Harbour you need not worry about bringing along foodstuff or other items as all that is needed is within reach.


 Puteri Harbour has everything down to an art, leaving visitors spoilt for choice and a water-front ambience that cannot be found anywhere else. The myriad of dining and shopping options include retail and lifestyle stores, fine dining restaurants and alfresco cafes, all of which were carefully planned to capitalise on the breath-taking view of the marina. 

If you're craving for even more, just board on to the shuttle busses and its LEGOLAND, Johor Premium Outlets and Mall of Medini just a few minutes away.


How do we get there, might be what readers want to know?

Puteri Harbour is strategically located near the Senai International Airport and Singapore’s Changi International Airport; as well as four international seaports and the Puteri Harbour International Ferry Terminal. It is also accessible via a good network of highways and is just 15 minutes from the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link.



Though our stay was rather short for a complete tour around the harbour vicinity,  it has far exceeded my expectation in almost every aspect from take off point at KL Sentral to  Iskandar Puteri vice versa. The lunch at Magnum Café and dinner at The Spice Grill with breakfast at Harbour Café was indeed awesome and delicious.



The hotel itself was located in a quite yet urban setting but the fact that it is situated at Puteri Harbour was a plus point - the scenery was quite lovey at night irregardless of the fact that the location is still within a newly developed area and there were not many patrons around yet.


Last but not least, you may bid farewell by bringing home souvenirs at  the Hello Kitty merchandise store situated alongside Red Bow Café within the Little Red Cube quay-side retail lifestyle and family entertainment complex that’s built on a 4.2 acre harbour front marina.

In short, vacationing at Puteri Harbour is nothing short of neverending memories and great experience as there are always events  organized every month such as ‘Port of Call’, the destination’s signature outdoor carnival featuring pop-up music, arts and a street market.
