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 !

Gems Of Life Promo at Pavillion (珠光寶氣>大馬宣傳) - 5th Dec 2008

The cast of "Gems of Life", comprising Maggie Siu, Kenny Wong, Bowie Lam and my fave hunk, Bosco, made an appearance at the entrance of Pavillion shopping mall on 5th Dec at 8 pm. Apart from this event, Astro has also arranged for some lucky fans to dine with the stars. I had anticipated a huge crowd and as expected, the front rows were mainly hogged by Bosco's fans. Bosco has a huge following (of all ages) in Malaysia and over the past 2-3 years, Bosco has been a regular to our shores...thanks to Kim Gary and Astro. The emcee interviewed an old lady (in her 60s-70s) and guess what ? She's there to see Bosco, too !

The artistes were pretty punctual. By 8 pm, one by one made their way to the stage. The crowd really went wild by then. The loudest applause going to Bosco, who were up to his cute and cheeky antics again, especially during the games sessions. This is the first time I saw Maggie and Kenny in-the-flesh. Maggie was really skinny, especially her legs. So envious ! For her age, she really did a good job in maintaining her figure. Gone too is the usual cool facade of hers, which we so often see on the screen. In person, she's not aloof at all, waving and smilling to the crowd.

After the games sessions, the artistes started to distribute TVB freebies to everyone. Chaotic but fun !

If Linda Chung had not been in KL during the same day and time (promoting her debut album), I think the turnout would have been even better ! Many "neutral" fans preferred this function than Linda's coz there are more artistes. As for me, my choice is pretty clear. My priority goes to Bosco.

古巨基新年前夕演唱会. Leo Ku New Year Eve's Live in Genting Promo - Nov 22

What better way to bid farewell to 2008 than having countdown concerts ? It has become a norm for Genting to hold countdown concerts during the festive seasons. No exception this year. This time, the honour goes to Leo Ku. Leo was at the entrance of Pavillion shopping mall to promote his New Year concert on Nov 22. Special guest artistes are Theresa Fung Wing and Siu Fei. I wish he had invited Justin instead of them. Leo appeared slighly after 8 pm, donning a cute bow tie,with matching dark blue cardigan and pencil thin pants.Looks like a school boy, still exuding the humble and adorable persona. Botox can never earn his money. He hasn't aged a bit. Still as evergreen as ever ! Leo obliged the fanclub with a short unplugged version of "Ngoi Dak Tai Chi." Shortly after, the autograph session commenced. His handshake was firm but really wet!
