Another week, another whirlwind of totally EXTRA events! We were here, there and everywhere!
We went toe-to-toe with adidas and JD Sports, hitched a ride with Lamborghini, painted the town and our faces red with Sephora, and MUCH, MUCH MORE! We were on the scene, and vibing like a boss! Just check out our social diary for this past week (don’t be jelly!):
Lamborghini Revuelto Arrives In Malaysia
EVs have been all the rage as of late, as the automotive industry’s latest race is to see who can make the better eco-friendly car, faster. But Lamborghini has been taking a slow-but-precise approach. The wait has been worth it – we were on hand for the recent debut of the marque’s first super sports 6.5-litre V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV, the Lamborghini Revuelto, and it’s a stunner!
The unveiling, at the EX8 Event Space in Subang Jaya, was not only part of a celebration of Lamborghini’s latest hybrid car launch in Malaysia, but also a nod to the marque’s 60th anniversary. As we were taken on a tour of Lamborghini’s past, we also caught a glimpse of their future, as they revealed plans to release more hybrid cars, including EVs, down the line. We can’t wait! Check out what went down during the launch event below!

Zainal Abidin Concert Press Conference
The legendary Zainal Abidin will make his return to the stage for a concert at Istana Budaya this 30th September! During a press conference held recently at the Bunglow37 Restaurant in Bangsar, we got the lowdown on the upcoming show, and were also treated to a first listen of the veteran singer’s newest single, “Tiba Masa”, which is also the name of his concert.
The 63-year-old also entertained a request to sing his greatest hit, “Hijau”, and we can confidently say he still has the pipes to sing the fan-favourite track. Since he sounded so good during the press conference, we’re looking forward to his live performance in KL soon! Click here to purchase your tickets now!

Sephora KLCC Reopening Party
Stepping into the Sephora KLCC Reopening Party was like entering a beauty wonderland that only exists in your wildest makeup dreams. And we even got to capture our Sephora Journey with Polaroids!
We bopped along to DJ Ira, who kept the party alive with her infectious beats, as everyone browsed the reopened KLCC store. And to top it all off, the icing on the cake (or should we say, the highlighter on the cheek?), was a surprise gift voucher that allowed us to indulge in our beauty cravings right then and there!
Sephora KLCC, you’ve won our hearts all over again!

Texture By C3Lab’s Mid-Autumn Speciality
Known for its premium cakes and delectable desserts, Texture By C3Lab at Atria Shopping Gallery has been the go-to place for those looking to satiate their sweet tooth. We were front and centre for the dessert-maker’s unveiling of its Mid-Autumn Mooncake Collection 2023, which features a set of 4-flavoured petit gateau with an edible chocolate topper that has a whimsical bunny design on it. According to Chef Chong Ko Wai, the Mid-Autumn dessert was inspired by the East-meets-West concept of mixing refreshing, fruity layers (Matcha Mango) that Asians love, with popular European flavours (including Blackberry Tea Chocolate).
In addition to a wide array of desserts, Texture By C3Lab also offers savoury mains (such as their Big Breakfast set, Croissant with Beef Bacon & Egg Mayo, Sourdough Toast with Chicken Pesto), seasonal and hand-brewed specialty coffee, tea, and refreshing beverages. Fret not if you don’t live in Petaling Jaya – Texture By C3Lab will be opening another outlet at TRX in November. Here’s what went down during the launch:

Japanese Film Festival 2023 Opening
After covering the press conference of the Japanese Film Festival 2023, where we were treated to previews of movies to be screened at Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) in major cities nationwide, we attended the recent opening ceremony at GSC Mid Valley Megamall.
The evening was filled with not only delicious Japanese savoury food, but some tasty ice cream too! The event was attended by many VIPs, including an honoured guest – the director of “Small, Slow But Steady”, Shô Miyake. It was a full house at the cinema hall and everyone was looking forward to the screening of the honoured guest’s movie, and we absolutely enjoyed it.
