Another week, another whirlwind of totally EXTRA events! We were here, there and everywhere!

We were on the scene and vibing like a boss! Just check out our social diary for this past week (don’t be jelly!):

Samsung 2025 Bespoke AI Home Appliances Launch

This Thursday, we were front and centre to witness Samsung Malaysia’s 2025 Bespoke AI home appliances, designed to make daily routines smarter, easier, and more secure. From a new Side-by-Side Refrigerator, to a Top Load Washer, to the Jet Ultra cordless vacuum — filled to the gills with trick AI features at the tip of your fingers with their SmartThings app and Bixby voice commands. With built-in screens and intuitive features like auto-opening doors, recipe suggestions, and remote control via smartphones, these appliances are set to redefine how we interact with our homes.

Each product brings something unique to the table: the refrigerator monitors food freshness and suggests meals, the washer adjusts water and spin settings based on fabric type for optimal laundry care, and the vacuum adapts suction power depending on floor type to ensure effective cleaning. All devices are supported by Samsung’s advanced Knox security system, now upgraded with post-quantum encryption to safeguard personal data. With these innovations, Samsung is making living a more connected, intelligent, and secure smart home experience for Malaysian households.

“Kulit Wayang (The Skin)” – Shadows, Myths & Legacy Come to Life

Dain Said is back, and this time he’s teaming up with Nevin Hiong to give us a supernatural thriller that’s anything but typical. “Kulit Wayang (The Skin)” dives deep into family secrets, haunted traditions, and the eerie world of wayang kulit.

It’s not just spooky for fun – this one’s rooted in real culture. With actual Tok Dalang (master puppeteers) like Pok Chu and Abe Mie Gajah Putih in the film, it feels more like a tribute to heritage than a regular ghost story.

Shot across the beautiful but mysterious landscapes of Kelantan and Terengganu, the movie stars Fattah Amin, Pekin Ibrahim, and Luna Ariko, who also performs the haunting theme song “Bintang.” Whether you’re into local myths, old-school horror, or just want something different, Kulit Wayang offers a chilling yet meaningful ride through shadows, legacy, and everything in between.

Kulit Wayang can be seen in more than 50 cinemas nationwide from 1st May 2025.

Skechers Drops A Local Collab With Haris Rashid

Skechers just dropped its first-ever collab with a local artist, and it’s a stunner. Teaming up with Malaysian visual artist Haris Rashid, the new “SkechVibe Collection” brings Malaysia’s rich biodiversity to life through fashion – think oversized tees and canvas totes featuring hornbills, kantan flowers, butterflies, and wau bulan-inspired designs.

The launch event at The Exchange TRX had art lovers and fashion fans mingling in a space that felt more like a mini art fest than a typical brand rollout. Haris treated guests to a live painting session, giving everyone a closer look at his creative process and the inspirations behind the collection.

Available for a limited time at selected Skechers stores and online, this collection is all about blending comfort with culture. If you’re into fashion with a local twist, this might just be your next favourite fit.

Onitsuka Tiger ULTI RS Series Launch

No one does footwear as well as Onitsuka Tiger does. The well-known brand has stuck to its tried-and-true silhouette for many years, and with good reason. However, in celebration of its 100th anniversary, the brand has begun experimenting with sleeker sneakers, focusing on performance to suit the athlete in mind without compromising style.

Hence, the brand has introduced its boldest collection yet — the ULTI RS Series! This gorgeous selection comes in three different styles, each complementing a specific field in mind. The TIGTRAIL for nature-loving hikers, the TIGRUN for those looking to up their step as well as level up their marathon game, and the TIGCOURT for the athletes looking to get the edge against the competition. The first of the three is available for purchase now for RM1,190, with the latter two set to release on the 100th anniversary proper; both will be retailing for RM1,150. If you’d like to know if these fashionable footwear are for you, check out our reel!

Songkran @ 1 Utama Shopping Centre

The vibrant customs of Thailand’s most beloved festival will be brought to the heart of Kuala Lumpur when Malaysia hosts a lavish Songkran Festival celebration. This colourful Songkran celebration, which is being organised by EQ Solutions and the Royal Thai Embassy in Malaysia, will take place in Kuala Lumpur from 10th-20th April, 2025, at the Forecourt, 1 Utama Shopping Centre. The Songkran Festival, which has been recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, provides tourists and Malaysians with a unique chance to experience the joyous celebrations and rich cultural customs of Thailand’s well-known New Year’s celebration.

Traditionally observed as the Thai New Year, Songkran represents rebirth, thankfulness, and camaraderie. It symbolises the washing away of bad luck and the arrival of a new beginning and is well-known for its water-splashing activities. This year’s celebration will combine religious rituals, traditional Thai cultural performances, and the exciting water activities that have made Songkran a popular holiday around the world.

Tiger Beer – Brand New Look, Same Great Taste

With the official release of its new visual identity, which reflected the brand’s forward-thinking attitude and audacious goal to spur innovation, Tiger Beer officially opened a new chapter in its history. Tiger Beer held a special event at Heineken Malaysia to mark this milestone, which included a projection mapping display of the new design on the brewery’s façade.

Tiger Beer has been associated with breaking down barriers and questioning norms since its founding in 1932. This bold attitude is reflected in the most recent packaging redesign, which supports the brand’s goal to advance while maintaining its renowned taste. The boldly rising tiger, a representation of aspiration and resolve, is featured in the new design against a contemporary colour scheme of deep blue, vibrant orange, and high-end silver. Inspired by the “claw” shape that can be seen in the “i” and “g” of the Tiger logo, the updated design is a proudly bold symbol that encourages drinkers everywhere to “uncage their tiger” and symbolises unstoppable progress.
