Dear All,

I be flying in to Jakarta tomorrow morning 24th of November and returning on the 26th November 2007.

This is one of the few rare times, that i managed to get Shirlyn to accompany on work. Plus it should be quite interesting to stay at a rugged part of street that a good friend has recommended – CHINATOWN! Frankly i would not dare to stay in KL’s Chinatown, but i was told this part of Jakarta can be fun. So i will fill you in!

Hey if you are in the area, please give us a shout at +6(012) 215 9933!

Cheers,
KIDCHAN
SEE ME with Maya Karin ON ASTRO!

Dear All,

Hong Kong Superstar Simon Yam was in Kuala Lumpur to launch the Canon Expo 2007 that is happening from the 23 October to 25 October at KL Convention Centre (Hall 2).

Amongst the highlights of the expo are the various Canon prototypes from the 30s to the 70s that will be displayed. There will also be many fun filled games and informative demonstrations of Canon products. There is also plenty of pretty models for photographers to test their cameras on:)

the media at the opening of Canon’s Boutique at the Pavilion

Later , Simon rushed to officiate the opening of the new Canon boutique at the swanky Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. After the launch, this blogger was also invited to the press conference.

Taking the PRESS Photo-op with Simon and Malaysia Rock Queen Ella

Simon sharing a joke with Canon’s Calvyn Laang

At the press conference, Simon impressed the Media with his knowledge of Bahasa Malaysia. He also demonstrated the use of the following phrases to the applauds of the Media:

“mau fo-to” – Want a picture!
“tak mau fo-to”- Dont want picture!
“khu-rang Marn-neez” – Less sweet!

Simon went on to explain that his knowledge of the language is accumulated over his long standing relationship with Malaysia, specifically Canon Marketing Malaysia. 11 years to be exact, and he described the relationship as a long and blissful honeymoon.

He proved the point that he is not just lip servicing by opting to come to Malaysia, instead of walking the red carpet at the Tokyo Film Festival along with his co-stars and directors of TriAngle (currently playing in the local cinema).

blissful partnership indeed:)

Hearing Simon talk, is truly a humbling experience. He is truly successful , known for being family focused yet he is extremely down-to-earth and friendly.

It really reminded me of our popular Malay saying, ” Seperti buah padi makin berisi makin rebah” loosely translated to just like the padi fruit, as it gain more weight it bows lower.

SIMON, when i grow up, I want to be like you!

Dear All,

Last week together with NTV7′s Breakfast Show and another local publication, this blog – A Diary of a Wedding Photographer In Malaysia was given an exclusive preview of Baume & Mercier’s William Baume Collection ahead of it’s official launch in Malaysia.

NTV7′s Lovely Sheila Ningkan chatting with Jalil Elkouch Bordier- GM of Baume & Mercier Singapore and Malaysia ahead of the Interview

For the benefit of those who are not acquainted with the heritage of Baume & Mercier, Baume & Mercier is Geneva’s top luxury watch maker since 1830, with now over 177 years of watch making experience.

Their designs have been sought after by many international A-lister including Gary Sinise, Kiefer Sutherland , Kim Basinger & Meg Ryan.

The William Baume Collection, pays tribute to the horological genius of William Baume, the contemporary Brand Father, who helped contruct the international reputation of one of Switzerland’s oldest watchmaking house.

Jalil answering Sheila’s queries first.


Yours truly trying very hard not to be distracted by the watch

We had the opportunity to preview 2 of the four models in the collection. They were the Classima Executives Red Gold. Both are limited edition watches. Only 177 pieces each (signifying the longetivity of Baume & Mercier) is going to be made.

It will also have William Baume Collection engraved on it’s case. The Classima Executive Steel and Hampton Square Steel will have 1830 pieces worldwide.

Classima Executives Red Gold (Black Dial)

Both Classima Executives Red Gold watches come with Retrograde Date, weekday indication and power reserves function.At first I was not impress with the black dial Classima Executives Red Gold , as I am the Mr.-I-hate-anything-gold.

But when was asked to try it on, I felt gaga over it. It’s as if the watch was made for my wrist!!! I am serious. Please help me convince Shirlyn! Sheila Ningkan deary speculated that because my skin was fair?????

Expected to be priced at the region of RM38,000 and above, I am thinking there goes AT LEAST one year of my salary. But I think I have work out a better plan.
Scroll down to find out……

Some more…..

Just A Bit More….

Yours truly sporting the Classima Executives Red Gold Black Dial While Jalil the white dial version

MR JALIL CAN I KEEP THE WATCH PLEASE? PRETTY PLEASE!!!!!!!
