The event started with an energetic performance from the dancers. Hebat sungguh depa menari. Aku yang tengah duduk rasa macam nak buat gesture hands in the air je. Tapi nasib baiklah majlis formal. So agak behave sedikit lah. Lepastu ada sedikit kata-kata aluan from Ms Aireen and Mr Andrew. Then sesi perkenalkan the judges and Q&A session.




Frankly speaking, I felt a lil bit awkward sitting in the room with other fashion and beauty bloggers, as i'm not identified myself as a fashion blogger, nor that i know well about fashion. So i have no idea what to expect or what to wear. I even asked the person from AirAsia who contacted me through email about what is "Runway Ready" looks like because it was the dresscode for the event.

Runway Ready means to look fashionable for the occasion.

So yeah. Silly me for not really up to date with "words".


I also asked them whether or not i can bring companion to the event. Hahahaha. Thank God they allowed me and RSVP my friend as well for the event. Kalau tak, mereput aku kat situ. Senang sikit ada si Parisah nie, sebabnya boleh jadi tukang ambik gambar aku and sekaligus aku boleh menggunakan perkhidmatan iphone nya untuk mengambil gambar. Tak payah lah aku bawak ke sana ke mari kamera gedang aku tu. Malas ya ampun nak bawak kamera berat-berat.


This picture may only have one, but how many times i refilled the plate, you have no idea. 


I always look forward to attend any events. One thing for sure is because of the food. Zharif is known as raja lahap nombor satu. It was no longer a secret. And also because of the goodies bag. It's like Christmas. Yeay !



So, that was pretty much about it. It was such a good experience mingling with all the fashionistas and other bloggers as well. I'm looking forward for more event like this in the future. You may count me in.


It was my second time in JW Marriot Hotel Kuala Lumpur and the ambiance never failed to amaze me.
