Heath & Beauty Mag cover is out! Finally. Hehe. One of the most interesting wardrobe styling I’ve done on a shoot. Some may say it’s totally outrageous but I reckon it’s just different. This time, it’s Ed Hardy all the way, courtesy of Ed Hardy KLCC. Hehe.

The past few days have literally flown by, it’s unbelievable. Tempus fugit. Time flies. The team and I are on a mad rush on schedule for the upcoming Charity Concert next Sunday, trying to piece everything together with the small little budget we have. Indeed, many corporate companies shy away from sound of the word ‘charity’ but we’re lucky to have gracious and sincere people that are willing to go the extra mile with us. Not just on the corporate side (Allied Marine and Affin Bank) but also the media (NSTP Group, Hot Magazine and MYC!), bloggers, celebrities (Harith Iskander, Jojo Struys, Daphne Iking, Liang, Reefa, Sasi The Don, The Fabulous Cats, Meet Uncle Hussain, Reymee and Sam of Innuendo, Hazami, Atilia, Caprice, Pietro and Dennis Lau), our community service partner City Care, production partners (Hue, Filmpoint and Ayria Consulting) and most importantly our gracious sound, light and staging providers (Chan and Henry not to mention Edwin, our sound engineer *smile*). Of course, there’s the super people behind it to manage the organization of the event – my wonderful chore team (Leonard, Evelyn, Isabelle, Sheng Mae, Sebastian, Zen, Sukvinder). *smile*

Definitely takes more than 1 party to make the difference in completing the equation and I believe this is what community service is all about. Contributing your time, resources and love for the underprivileged is something that everyone can afford to do, regardless of race, culture, religion and financial status. And I believe that’s what the true 1-Malaysia spirit is all about. *smile* Of course, we need you to play a part with your generous gifts for the kids too! *wink*

Well, I’m definitely looking forward to next Sunday. You won’t believe how many sleepless nights the team has endured through the last 2 weeks just to put the event structure together. With the finishing touches this week, we definitely hope to make it worth your while for the 3 hours you’re gonna be spending with us on Sunday. *smile* I always like to tell people not to expect too much but come with a big and open heart to give and share your love…hehe.

For me, juggling between the event management, branding and marketing of the campaign AND the creative aspect of the production, my performance, rehearsals and coordinating the rest of the artistes have been a very value-adding experience for me (although it can be rather draining too! *laugh*). It’s an experience not many entertainers have the privilege of experiencing and I believe this will prepare me for the bigger things ahead, not to mention being able to appreciate the people behind events like this even more. *laugh* I haven’t been able to sleep or eat at regular times because of our crazy schedule so please forgive me for not being able to write as often as I wished I could the last few days. Jangan marah ya… *smile*

Being the last event for me before I head back to start on a new production in Japan (I’m so excited! *grin*), I’m gonna cherish the character-building moments that I believe have shaped me into a better person with more patience, tolerance and better problem-solving skills!!!! Hahaha.

Enough rambling for today, and while you spend the weekend with your family and loved ones, remember that there’s the other part of your online family here that love and appreciate you just as much. Hehe. I’m gonna leave something special behind to make up for my absence in January through March, but will tell you when the time is right. For now, please keep the team and I in prayer because our physical batteries are running low and we need divine grace and your love to pull through the big SUNDAY ahead. *smile* Big panda hugs. xxx
