“In Love With Bosco” EP Press Conference(黃宗澤 "全角度愛你" 大馬宣傳) – Kim Gary Mid Valley (Dec 30, 2008)

























Bosco was so smartly dressed during the press conference (drool…..). Upon arrival, he passed Kim Gary’s red bean drinks to the media and then, distributed red packets. He fielded a range of questions from the press. He revealed that he has just completed shooting “Burning Flame 3” and had hurt his hand in the process.The clip can be viewed at YouTube. He said since he’s such a frequent visitor to Malaysia, fans have suggested that he purchase a house in Mont Kiara. Bosco is also interested in buying a house in Penang island, somewhere near the beach. Asked whether he’s familiar with Malaysia’s music scene, Bosco said he likes Gary Chau’s songs and hopes that Gary would compose a song for him. His full fledge album should be out by mid 2009, which Bosco hopes to spend more time and effort on it. “In Love With Bosco” was produced in a rush. If I’m not mistaken, he mentioned that the EP was completed in about 2 months or so. His aim is to have his own concert in the near future. Asked about his thoughts on the batch of new singers, he said Wong Cho Lam has good potential. Also in Bosco’s wish list is to be able to come up with a pictorial next year. If that materialize, he hopes that Kim Gary will once again help him promote it in Malaysia. He will be involved in another TVB grand production early next year but was reluctant to divulge more information. Due to the brisk sales of his “In Love With Bosco” EPs during the last two days of promotion here, they have almost ran out of stock and needs to courier the 2nd edition from HK for the promotional tour in Penang ! I liked the 2nd edition cover better. The first edition showed only his profile but the second one shows his full face and let’s not forget the bonus mtv, too. The press con ended with a short interview with Astro’s crew. Bosco had to rush to Penang for the showcase at Macallum Street at night.

"In Love With Bosco" Promotion (黃宗澤 "全角度愛你" 大馬宣傳) - Metro Point Kajang - Dec 29.





















When I saw the venue “Metro Point Kajang” on the promotional flyer, I was baffled. Where on earth is “Metro Point Kajang” ?!! I’m totally clueless. I honestly thought that Kim Gary would pick a more popular venue around KL to hold the showcase. When I arrived at the mall, I was really worried for Bosco ! Would the fans turned out in droves to support him coz let’s face it, the place is so far out from the city. What if it only managed to attract curious on-lookers and no one is willing to dig into their pockets to buy the discs ? I was even contemplating buying a few more cds to support Bosco, just in-case. Hah ! Was I wrong to doubt Bosco’s charisma !!! Judging from the long queue during the autograph session, the EP sales from this place even surpassed the ones sold at Sunway Pyramid ! Kids, aunties, youngsters….people from all Gen X to Y…heck ! there’s no generation gap when it comes to supporting Bosco ! Every single one was eager to grab the cds and get up-close and personal with Mr. Wong.

Bosco rendered two numbers” 全角度愛你” and “普天同愛”. Some one shouted “Encore” when the second song ended and it turned out to be the last number,too. I was hoping he would perform the fast track, “Hey Boy.” Hopefully, he’ll do that for Penangites during the countdown concert at Queensbay, which I’m unable to attend. It’s quite a struggle to get good shots of Bosco coz the area is too dim and lightings suck. The emcee for the day is still Nicholas (MyFM deejay) but was joined on stage by members from a new group known as “Storm.” Every time members from “Storm” opened their mouth, I started to cringe…it was an extremely bad idea to get them to be the guest emcee. Such a disgrace. I was so tempted to seal their mouths with duct tapes to prevent further insult to my ears. This is also the 3rd and last leg of Bosco’s showcase in KL.

I'm still pretty tied-up at this moment. More pixs and video clips of Bosco coming up real soon !

“In Love With Bosco” EP Promotion (黃宗澤 "全角度愛你" 大馬宣傳) – Sunway Pyramid (Dec 28, 2008)

















Yippee ! Bosco was in town, again !!!
In a short span of less than 2 months, Bosco came to Malaysia 3 times in a row. Having made a name for himself as a actor in HK, this time around, Bosco assumes a new identity. Meet HK’s new singer - Bosco Wong ! A couple of days before the event, I was searching high and low for his EP but couldn’t find it in all the major music outlets. Only on the day of his promo tour, I got to know that Kim Gary has specially imported the 1st version of his EP to Malaysia, in-conjuction with the album launch. The price is extremely reasonable, considering the sleek packing and mini booklet that comes with it. HK is selling the 2nd version now, which comes with MTV. The first print is totally sold out in HK ! No mean feat for a new singer. Way to go, Bosco ! The showcase-cum-Kim Gary FUN FUN FUN event started right on the dot – 6 pm. Apart from selecting the lucky winner for Kim Gary’s grand Prize (a “Persona” car), Bosco played games and sang the 1st single from the EP, “Chuin Kok To Ngoi Nei” to the delight of his fans. The car went to a young chap who doesn’t know how to converse in Cantonese. The funny part is he doesn’t even know Bosco’s name ! He thought that Bosco’s name is Kim Gary !!! Not only did the lucky dude gets the wheels, Bosco took him for a short spin, too !! Song List     CD   1.   全角度愛你  2.   Hey Boy   3.   多謝試用  4.   忙甚麼   5.   普天同愛   6.   第幾天 ("賭場風雲" 插曲)   DVD   1.   全角度愛你 MV   2.   Hey Boy MV   3.   普天同愛 MV

Tavia Yeung's H20 Promotion (楊怡 H2O 大馬宣傳 )at Sunway & 1 Utama - 6 December,2008









































H20's outlets are making huge inroads in Malaysia, with presence in most major shopping malls. After switching spokesperson from Joey Yung to Tavia Yeung, H20 has once again arranged for Tavia to promote H20's products in various malls around KL and also the new outlet in Penang's Gurney Plaza.

First stop - Sunway Pyramid. I was kinda suprised to see a bunch of fans holding placards and banners waiting for her. The last time I saw her in Ipoh and KL, she doesn't have that many fans. I recognized some of the fans were actually from Twins/Joey/Vincy's fanclub. In conjunction with this promotion,those who purchased H20's products get a chance to have their pictures taken with Tavia plus an autographed photo, too. Tavia appeared right on time, in a purple dress, with her hair tied-back. She looks so elegant ! Her features reminded me so much of a young Maggie Cheung Ho Yee.

Since it was kinda early, there were not that many shoppers during that time. So, not many people bought the products. After a short interview with the emcee and photograph/autograph session, Tavia headed to the shop and posed for more pictures.

I skipped the function at Pavillion but went to the one at 1 Utama instead. This time around, Tavia was surrounded with onlookers(shoppers) and fans. Unlike Sunway, many people bought the products and were queueing up for her autograph. Tavia revealed that she'll be heading to Penang the next day (her first trip to Penang) and asked whether there are any fans from Penang. Some raised their hands. Tavia asked what is Penang's famous food and whether it's "lat sei nei ah ma" (witty Canto translation for Nasi Lemak). They told her Penang is famous for its Asam Laksa. Throughout the event, I keep hearing one comment after another and it's all the same - "Oooh ! Tavis is so cute ! Tavis is so pretty ! ". H20 really made the right choice by signing-up Tavia as the new spokesperson !
