10 days away from his debut concert in HK, Raymond still made time to attend Bio Essence's publicity blitz in Malaysia. Accompanying him is none other than his rumoured main squeeze, Linda Chung. Linda is also here to lauch Bio Essence's new whitening facial product known as "Tanaka White", while Raymond promotes "Nugeno Cool." Those who had catched Michelle Reis' Loreal commercial would definitely noticed that their whitening products (right down to the pink and white cream in a single bottle packaging) is almost identical (except for the ingredients, I supposed). Everything was pretty calm and in orderly manner prior to the event but all hell broke loose when the two TVB darlings appeared !!! There was a mad scramble by everyone to rush to the stage....from fan club members to the media, as well as invited guests and the lucky ones who managed to slip passed the security and into the cordoned area.
For the record, one of the emcees, Mona, was actually pretty considerate. She appealed to those hogging the front stage to sit down or stoop a little so that everyone at the back could get a view of Ray and Linda (who were seated on the sofa) but as expected, everyone suddenly became "hearing impaired" upon seeing these two. I could hardly get a good look at them. After the MD of Bio Essence assaulted the audiences'ears with his boring and broken english speech, Bio Essence's ambassadors -Ray, Linda and a Malay actress were invited up the stage. Seriously, if I were the MD, I think I would come better prepared ! All three shared beauty tips and sang praises about the goodness of Bio Essence (yeah, what's new !). Raymond revealed that his stuble grows easily (ragging hormones ?!!!!). Hence, needs to shave a few times a day. Linda said that lazy beautiful woman doesn't exist. Every woman has to religiously stick to their beauty regime if they want to maintain a good complexion. I couldn't recall much of their speech coz everything was so chaotic and I was too pre-occupied with trying to get a few decent shots of them, which was darn challenging. Before they made their exit, both of them presented the winners of the Bio Essence Tanaka White contests with prizes.
