adidas women fall/winter collection pt2

Continuing from my previous post on the Adidas event, I would like to show you some women...

Ninie, celebrity yoga instructor. Why celebrity? Because she's really celebrity like la. What else. Met her a couple times, but I don't think she remembers me, haha...

She mentioned that she was nervous before the event in her blog, but I think she handled the large crowd just fine. Even I felt like doing yoga looking at them. "Hold the imaginary ball... move your hands slowly up and down..."

Cynthia, the girl I never really met. But did later on Facebook. Found out that we have a lot of mutual friends. Long Bean Thong was one of them.

Lavin dancing, and that's Jien (with his face all covered up by Deborah). He has an accent now.

Sazzy Fallak

Daphne Iking. Grrr

And finally... I think the REAL women at the event should have their 15 mins of fame too! There were women in their 20's all the way to their 40's working out together that night. Confirm they're more healthier than most of us men out there. Argh.

Ok, that's it for the Adidas event. I think there'll be a mens collection event coming up.

Just a quick update on my side. I'm currently writing 2 short films and planning to shoot another music video soon (in the next few weeks). On top of that I'm also freelancing with ChristienLavin, so can't divulge any projects here, sorry. And yeah, I still have my degree to finish.

It was quite the star studded event that I wasn't really prepared for (Christien called me last minute). And it was quite a big deal among the female blogging community. But Adidas really pulled one hell of an event out of that 3 striped hat.

Speaking about bloggers, that girl Cynthia was there, which happens to be friends with a lot of people I know and is VERY happening (I wanted to say hi, but had to leave early, so if you're reading this...) and Janet, a talented, bilingual, opera jazz singer which had a very interesting back and forth with Christien when they met

Sadly, I was having a really frustrating time taking pictures, which is what I was there for. I tried and tried, but just couldn't get the right settings for my paltry rig (400D + 580EXII + kit and 50mm). So most of my shots came out like total noobishness. On to the craptures!


Event was at Gardens Hotel Ballroom, grand looking place. Missed the buffett line. Christien and I had Kim Gary instead


The invited bloggers got to do yoga with the celebs. During the yoga, the organizers actually had to tell the photographers from the Malay media to move to another section of the room because they kept gatal wanting to shoot the celebs clevage. You know they need to meet a quota of censorable boob valleys every week right?


Celebs at the event. Daphne Iking just keep getting more and more in shape (read: beautiful) everytime I see her (since her pregnancy last year). There's women, and then there's Daphne Iking.


Smashpop found me. He was having dinner at MidValley. Recently, we keep bumping into each other around KL because we Tweet. Just follow my tweets and we too will be doing the same in no time.


Deborah Priya Henry, Miss Malaysia 2007. The only good shot during the catwalk. Sigh.

intership is over, back to college

You're back again! Thanks for caring so much about my life.

My internship stint with Christienlavin is officially over and I'm going back to college this semester. I know I have been exceptionally quiet the past 4 months about my life there. So, to rectify that, I will be posting the highlights in the next few posts.

Working so closely with them has definitely changed my perspective on a lot of things. Especially the industry. I got to experience first hand a lot of stuff that you wouldn't usually get to see or hear from the outside. But first, some faces that I would like to show you.


Christien New!


Attended New Man's launch party for something. Here you see Lavin, Nadia and of course at the far right - Joey G. No, he wasn't suppose to be in the picture.


Lavin, Me and Wayne from Her Many Faces press conference.


Got to meet Azura! Was at the finals of The Firm 2 with Lavin. The Firm 2 is Malaysia's answer to The Apperentice for those of you wondering. So I guess you'll be able to see my face in the last 2 episodes (I hope)

While being their "media guy", which really means "one-leg-kicking guy", I followed them almost everywhere to photograph their ins and outs. Photos that I think I'm allowed to show in the next post.



joshuachay.com is coming soon - any suggestions? email to joshuachay [at] gmail.com

meet my new bosses, christien and lavin

If you've heard, yes it's true.

I will not be continuing my current semester due to me taking up their offer, which after careful thought, is really a good offer. I will be working with them mainly on their upcoming film but the full job description is still up in the air. It's definitely not making coffee and taking in the papers.

So for the next four months, I'll be sharing my working experiences, behind the scenes of making the movie and a drip or two about life with the celebrity couple. For now, I'll just be waiting for 12th to come.

p.s. I'll miss you guys at college. Don't worry, you'll still see me around. My office is at the new wing and I still need to have lunch.
