My Venice Express

I decided to do a day trip to the romantic city of Venice, Italy. From Milan, I hop on TrainItalia direct train to Venice.

I literally spent the whole day exploring the beautiful city. It was very beautiful, and I was amazed by the architecture!

My Milan Express

I went to Milan for holiday!



 It is the global capital of fashion, so I visited the largest designer factory outlet in Europe! But honestly I was not that excited about shopping as my attention was more on the architecture.



The Gothic Duomo di Milano cathedral is an architecture masterpiece.

I booked a day tour of the city, which brought me to many places. But the main highlight was the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent, which houses Leonardo da Vinci’s mural “The Last Supper”. It was a really majestic. Check out the video!

My Bandung Express

It was time for family holiday, and this time, we decided to explore Bandung, capital of Indonesia’s West Java province.



 Bandung is known for colonial and art deco architecture, a lively relatively cool tropical weather. It is also a shopping destination, which kept my mum happy.



 We had great time doing touristy thing, including lunch in a very beautiful bird cage!

My Penang Express - Butterfly Farm

I've been to Penang many times, but I have never been to the faous butterfly farm.

So, recently I decided to check it out. It is called "Entopia by Penang Butterfly Farm". Basically, as the name suggests, it is a huge butterfly sanctuary in Teluk Bahang, Penang.

The original farm was established in 1986 while the present incarnation opened to the public on 2 May, 2016.

Interesting facts from Entopia's website:

More than just a place to view butterflies, Entopia has a vision to help people reestablish connection with nature. The world's large-size vertebrates - the elephants, tigers and pandas - get the lion share of the attention, even though they represent just 3% of all animal species. In contrast, invertebrates such as butterflies constitute some 70% of animal species, but very few sanctuaries are devoted to celebrating them. Through Entopia, the voiceless and underappreciated invertebrates get to tell their stories.

ATV Ride Kemensah, Kuala Lumpur

I love ATV ride! So, I dragged my friend to check out the ATV ride at Kemensah, Hulu Kelang. It is just about 12 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur city centre.



We discovered that this ATV Adventure Park is the largest of its kind in Malaysia, and they offer various jungle trails for outdoor enthusiasts and all-terrain riders.



 I had a great time, and will certainly go back for more.

My Langkawi Express

To welcome 2017, my friends and I decided to escape the city madness and chill at one of the most beautiful island in Malaysia, Langkawi.



If you have never heard of it (where have you been!), Langkawi is an archipelago made up of 99 islands on Malaysia’s west coast. It is officially known as Langkawi the Jewel of Kedah (the state where I came from!).



Langkawi is surrounded by amazing beautiful turquoise sea, while the main island is a mixture of picturesque paddy fields and jungle-clad hills.



 Nature lovers will find the island a perfect island to spend your holidays.

We only got to check out few things while we were there coz we decided to just take it easy and chill.

Wardrobe problem!

When organising a media event, one of the main thing to be mindful about is the photo op. The photo must be good enough to be used by media and social media.

Apart from determining who goes in the photo, and if they are any action required (eg: holding a card, cutting ribbon, unveiling of a product), one very important element is setting the dress code for the event. To PR folks, it's our responsibility to make sure the people in the photo looks good, and for that reason, it's important to dress your bosses appropriately and creatively. 

At AirAsia, we have few event shirts and we ensure our bosses are provided with necessary outfit for each event. 

This reminds me of a very important event we had in Langkawi Island. It was a big event, attended by the prime minister. 

Considering it was going to be an outdoor event, so we opt for a smart casual dress code. During that period, we came up with a new striped-shirt design and thought it was a perfect shirt to wear for the event. 

One day before the event, while checking the shirts, I realised the shirt prepared for one of our boss (no name mentioned) is kinda too small for his tummy. 

We were already in the island, and the event was scheduled in the early morning. There were no way to get a bigger shirt done or delivered on time. 

I thought of a way to enlarge the shirt. And did this: 

2 pillows tucked into the shirt and left overnight. And it worked!
