A one-of-a-kind gourmet casual dining experience has arrived in the heart of the trendy Bangsar in Kuala Lumpur. With its all in one dining options and a wide variety of food and drinks interchanging daily from breakfast to lunch and dinner, Palazzo Viva is no doubt the place to be if one is looking for a unique dining experience.

Its grand launch on Monday greeted the guests with an interesting array of welcome refreshments. A variety of fresh tapas and canapés, such as beef tartare with mango yolk sauce, black olive, spinach salad and potato crisp; hot ricotta with cherry tomato, aubergines, basil and tomato sauce; chicken with mango and cucumber salsa; and eggs carbonara with beef bacon and parmesan sauce were served either hot or cold respectively. These tapas and canapés are also available during normal operating hours and the choices changes everyday. There was also an assorted range of gourmet confectionary, which were prepared fresh and exclusively for the evening. Palazzo Viva further introduced their specialty cocktails & mocktails to their guests during that evening.

Mr. Jay Lee, the Director of Palazzo Viva graduated from the University of Melbourne, majoring in Mechanical Engineering & Management. He is also the Business Development Director & Head of Design in S.Kian Seng Group of Companies (SKS). One cannot help but to wonder how did a Mechanical Engineer / Business Development Director / Head of Design ended up in attempting to break through the F&B industry.

“The answer lies in the insights and experiences that I had gathered throughout the years in F&B related businesses. What I learned had inspired me to introduce a unique dining concept to Malaysia’s F&B industry. I believe that an excellent dining and entertainment experience does not depend solely on the excellence of the cuisine, but the ambience as well.” Answered Mr. Jay Lee.

The concept of Palazzo Viva differs from most restaurants in such a way that its ambience and menu changes throughout the day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Imagine dining in Palazzo Viva for breakfast then returning again for dinner, only to feel as if you had stepped in to a different place.

The minds behind this fascinating idea had painstakingly conducted extensive studies and planning on a comprehensive scope that covers every facet of design and executions. As a result, Palazzo Viva now possesses the impeccable operations and functionalities, which enables the synergistic ambience and menu to rotate flawlessly.

“To support the flexibilities in long operating hours and frequent rotations, the restaurant is equipped with professional equipment capable of sustaining heavy workload, and a team of staff well trained in the requirements of the systems and processes of Palazzo Viva. Hence, everything I mentioned earlier gears us in providing our customers an all-round, top-notch experience when they dine in with us.” Said Mr. Jay Lee.

Jay had also proudly introduced his team of experienced culinary chefs; chef Andrea & Luigi. The co-owner master pastry chef, Chef Denis Dianin, had acquired the AMPI (Academia Maestri Pasticceri Italiani) award, which is equivalent to a 3 star Michelin award in the confectionary world. An interesting point to note, Chef Denis majored in Robotics Engineering at Marconi University Italia. During the course of his studies, he developed a passion in baking, which led to Chef Denis pursuing a career as a pastry chef. Chef Denis Dianin caters a range of the finest quality desserts. Customers are welcomed to savour the very best of combination in design, flavours and textures with a range of 32 macaron flavours, 24 gourmet mignons and cakes. Tip: These delectable treats are best paired with a cup of Palazzo special blend coffee, a medium roast micro lot beans from Costa Rica; or enjoy it with The Palazzo Fizz, a Moet and Chandon base cocktail with infusions from fresh fruits and rosemary.

The event continued to fill the bellies of guests who longed for more scrumptious signature dishes by Palazzo Viva’s culinary experts. The dishes served were Tuna Tataki with carrot puree, peas, crispy rice, curry powder and lime olive oil; My Green Garden Soup with peas, broccoli, asparagus, mint, beef bacon and crispy rice; smoked salmon with potato puree, salmon egg roe, pepper, lemon wedge, served on toast; and last but not least, seared Angus beef tenderloin with carrot and roasted Belgian endive. Every dish on that evening was presented perfectly mouth-watering, as when it left the kitchen.

Palazzo Viva will be a new dining experience in Malaysia that is truly unique in its own way. It also serves as the exclusive flagship for one of Europe’s top brands in cakes and confectionaries, d&g Patisserie. The selection of the finest quality desserts prepared by Chef Denis Dianin changes from time to time. Visit d&g Patisserie’s Facebook page for more information, and its range of product offering.

Palazzo Viva has both indoor and outdoor seating. The flexibility in its rotating ambience and its availability to host up to 180pax renders it as an ideal set up for events and private functions. An exclusive dining area on the first floor will be ready in the near future with private rooms and live kitchen table experience.

When former Lumpinee Muay Thai world champion Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke (MMA: 4-0), began fighting for a living, he recalled being nervous.

He approached his impending matchup with another man in the ring much like all men would when faced with the hard fact that, in just a few, short minutes, he would quite literally be in the fight of his life.

Professional fighting is a highly personal affair. Fighters put so much on the line when they step into the ring, into the cage, that it hits them in the core. So much goes into preparation for a fight, hours upon hours spent tiring away at the gym, personal time away from loved ones, entrenched in solitude.

They say fighting means discovering oneself, and for “Kru Rong” as he’s called in short, it’s always meant the world to him.

“Growing up wasn’t a smooth journey for me as my family wasn’t well off. My parents would have to travel to work in other parts of the country just to support the family,” said Dejdamrong, recalling his tough upbringing.

“To help ease my parents’ burden, I supported my family by competing in Muay Thai, hence the sport means a lot to me and my family.”

After making a name for himself and winning multiple titles in Muay Thai, Dejdamrong decided it was time for a different challenge, one that called for him to take it up a notch and try his hand at mixed martial arts. In 2014, Dejdamrong joined ONE Championship’s flyweight ranks and was easily a fighter to look out for.

Dejdamrong added that besides the challenge offered by MMA, his move to Singapore to be part of the Evolve MMA team and training alongside other world champions made him fall in love with MMA even more.

Because of an impressive pedigree obtained throughout his Muay Thai career, all eyes were on Dejdamrong as he made his debut inside the ONE cage. Much was expected from the 36-year old Thai.

When asked about his debut fight with ONE last year, Dejdamrong said, “I was really excited to show the world how much I have diversified as a fighter after training with the team at Evolve. I was mentally prepared and went out strong with my team backing me.

“My debut with ONE is definitely one of the most memorable fights in my life.”

After going unbeaten in his first four fights for the promotion, with two wins by submission and two by devastating knockout, Dejdamrong is up for a new challenge.

On May 22, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore, he steps back into the ONE cage, this time, to fight for a world championship.

“I am very excited to be back again with ONE to now fight for a title.,” he said.

With ONE’s flyweight division stacked, and ONE Flyweight World Champion Adriano “Mikinho” Moraes reigning supreme, Dejdamrong realized an opportunity was present at strawweight. Dropping down to 115 lbs., Dejdamrong makes his debut in ONE’s lightest weight division in a title fight.

Dejdamrong will go up against a formidable foe, former Filipino pro-boxer, Roy “The Pilipino Badboy” Doliguez (Boxing: 18-19-9, 11 KO).

Like Dejdamrong, Doliguez originated from a different combat sport and has enjoyed relative success since transitioning to mixed martial arts. Doliguez stands at six wins, with only one loss inside the MMA cage.

More than a title however, is the prestige a world title brings to Dejdamrong’s family and his country.

“I would like to win the inaugural ONE Strawweight World Championship title! Being the first ever Muay Thai world champion to compete for a MMA world championship title means the world to me and it shows how much I have improved as a MMA fighter,” said Dejdamrong.

“Of course, this wouldn’t have been possible without the guidance of all my other team-mates on the Evolve Fight Team.”

If Dejdamrong comes prepared for his ONE world title shot like he had in his first four fights with the promotion, his opponent is in serious trouble.

Mereka telah merancang untuk berkahwin tetapi personaliti Yasmin tidak disenangi oleh ibu Aris, Datin Zana (Helvera Susanti).

Apabila Aris meminta restu untuk berkahwin dengan Yasmin, Datin Zana meletakkan syarat bahawa Aris perlu terlebih dahulu keluar dengan 12 calon teman wanita. Niat Datin Zana adalah untuk memberi Aris peluang menilai dan menyedari bahawa terdapat ramai lagi wanita lain yang lebih bagus daripada Yasmin untuk dijadikan isteri. Fatin (Zara Zya), anak kepada pemandu mereka yang juga teman baik Aris, ditugaskan untuk membantu Aris sepanjang tempoh proses pencarian kerana kereta dan kad kredit dipunyai Aris sebelum ini ditarik kembali oleh ibunya.

Aris dan Fatin sememangnya akrab sejak kecil. Namun apabila meningkat dewasa, kedua mereka berhadap dengan masalah untuk mencari teman hidup. Fatin terlampau sibuk sehingga tiada masa untuk memikirkan soal jodoh. Aris pula sering berfoya-foya dengan ramai wanita sampai dia sendiri tidak tahu apa yang dia mahukan sebenarnya.

Pada masa yang sama, ayah Fatin mula risau dengan keadaan Fatin yang belum berpunya. Dia terpengaruh dengan pujukan Datin Zana untuk mendapatkan khidmat Miss Pooja (Susan Lankester), ejen cari jodoh yang sedang menguruskan pencarian 12 calon isteri Aris. Ini menimbulkan kemarahan Fatin dan Aris apabila mengetahui ibu bapa mereka bersungguh-sungguh mahu mengatur hidup mereka.

Pelbagai wanita telah Aris temui, masing-masing mempunyai karenah tersendiri. Semasa dalam proses pencarian itu, Aris terpikat dengan Sherry (Nisha Rodzlan) dan berniat untuk mengahwininya. Aris meluahkan hasratnya kepada Datin Zana. Walau bagaimanapun, Datin Zana berkeras mahu Aris mencukupkan kuota 12 orang calon terlebih dahulu sebelum membuat sebarang keputusan.

Siapakah yang akhirnya berjaya menawan hati Aris dan ibunya? Adakah Sherry bakal isteri Aris? Jangan lupa menyaksikan drama komedi romantik, ‘DAN CALONNYA ADALAH 2’ bermula 18 Mei ini, 12.30 tengah hari, 20 episod serentak, hanya di TONTON.

16-time Grammy winning music producer David Foster, together with pop icon Melanie C. were in town today to share their experiences as celebrity judges on AXN’s hit series, “Asia’s Got Talent”.

With the Grand Final Results episode airing this Thursday, 14 May at 8.05pm, both judges are gearing up for a thrilling, historic conclusion as the first  winner of “Asia’s Got Talent” will be crowned at the end of this week.

“Asia’s Got Talent” is the biggest talent competition in the world featuring some of the region’s most breathtaking, jaw-dropping and mind-blowing performing artists competing for the coveted title. The series has topped ratings in its timeslot among English general entertainment channels in Southeast Asia including Malaysia, among pay-TV audiences.

David said, “There is such a wealth of talent in this region waiting to be discovered. I firmly believe that the next superstar will emerge from Asia and we are already off to an exciting start in this incredible endeavor. We believe ‘Asia’s Got Talent’ can be the platform for this discovery and I am really proud to be a part of this wonderful journey.”

Melanie C. said, “It’s really exciting to be here in Asia. Culturally speaking, people in this region work very hard and are incredibly determined to succeed, so I feel that the standards of performers are really high.  Also, there is great diversity of talent and the involvement of so many countries makes ‘Asia’s Got Talent’ all the more amazing,”

David Foster launched some of the greatest music careers including Michael Bublé, Josh Groban and Celine Dion. He created hit songs and award-winning platinum and gold albums for Earth, Wind & Fire, Natalie Cole, Michael Bolton, Seal, Chaka Khan, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Chicago, Hall & Oates, Brandy, ‘N Sync, Boz Scaggs, and Gloria Estefan; propelled classical singers like Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban into mainstream popularity, as well as created soundtracks for hit films like ‘The Bodyguard’, ‘Urban Cowboy’ and ‘St Elmo’s Fire’.

Melanie C. was part of the iconic five-member Spice Girls, in which she was nicknamed ‘Sporty Spice’. Following that, as a solo artist, Melanie sold more than 12 million records from six albums. She has the second most No.1 singles in the United Kingdom and is the only female to top the charts as part of a quintet, a quartet, a duo and a solo artist. Melanie also performed in the West End musical ‘Blood Brothers’ and co-starred in the musical ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’.

David and Melanie are joined on the “Asia’s Got Talent” celebrity judging panel by Taiwanese-American pop idol and actor Van Ness Wu and Indonesian rock icon and international recording artist, Anggun.

From thousands of hopefuls that auditioned last September, Malaysia saw 17 acts make it to the five “Asia’s Got Talent” auditions episodes. Among the four acts that received three or more ‘yeses’, Sarawak-based five-piece band ‘Sada Borneo’ featured in the third semi-final episode aired on 30 April.

During the auditions in the first five episodes of “Asia’s Got Talent”, each act had to receive at least three “Yeses” from the judging panel to stand a chance of advancing to the semi-finals. A highlight of that stage was the glittering “Golden Buzzer moments”, where each judge had one opportunity to send a brilliant act straight into the next round. In addition to the four golden buzzer acts, the judges picked 20 more acts were for the semi-finals.

From the three semi-final episodes, AXN viewers voted to select six acts, while the judges picked three acts for the Grand Final of “Asia’s Got Talent”. Aired on 7 May, the Grand Final saw the nine finalists perform and voting has since started and will close tonight at 11.59pm. The winner will be announced in the Grand Final Results episode airing on 14 May.

David said, “It was amazing to see so many wonderful performers showcase their skills and dedication to their art. I feel sad that we are coming to the end of this great series, yet I am looking forward to finding out which act viewers will pick as their winner. It promises to be a fantastic conclusion to a great competition.”

Melanie said, “Asia is set to welcome its first ever ‘Got Talent’ star and I hope everyone will join us in making history in the Grand Final Results show on 14 May. I had an incredible time and will return home with even greater admiration for the talents in Asia.”

The winner takes home the grand prize USD$100,000, complemented by the opportunity to return to Singapore and perform at the iconic Marina Bay Sands, Asia’s leading entertainment destination – where the semi-finals, Grand Final and Grand Final Results shows are held.

With great anticipation from the global market recently, ASUS Malaysia has finally announced the availability of ZenFone 2 series in Malaysia in conjunction to the ‘Incredible Zen Day’ consumer event held last weekend in Kuala Lumpur. The highly-anticipated ZenFone 2 builds on the enthusiastic reception and success of the first-generation ZenFone in Southeast Asia, and features a stunning new Zen-inspired design, uncompromising performance, and a premium user experience to bring a new level of empowering luxury to consumers.

Thanking the attending ZenFans for their passionate support, ASUS Malaysia Country Manager, Jimmy Lin said, “We are very excited to bring this luxurious new ZenFone 2 to consumers in Malaysia. We believed that the best technology is used by a mass audience, so we aimed to create the most extraordinary phone for everyone to enjoy”. He added, “ZenFone has been beloved by consumers and has won numerous awards worldwide since its launch last year. Our aim in 2015 is to achieve the Top 2 Smartphone brand in Malaysia, as we were No. 3 last year.”

A Winner of a 2015 iF Design Award, the new ZenFone 2 models feature premium design together with incredible specifications and features at compelling prices. ZenFone 2 has a luxurious metallic hairline finish and is just 3.9mm at its thinnest edges, giving it an incredibly slim profile. With a remarkable 72% screen-to-body ratio, ZenFone 2 packs a gorgeous 5.5-inch screen into a compact body similar in size to most 5-inch smartphones.

Jpeg

Designed for comfort and easy one-handed use, ASUS ZenFone 2 features an ergonomically curved rear cover with an intuitive button that functions as the volume control as well as the camera shutter button when snapping selfies. The ZenFone 2 comes with the Android 5.0 Lollipop — the latest, 64-bit mobile operating system — and ASUS ZenUI 2.0 to deliver the ultimate user experience.

See What Others Can’t See

ASUS ZenFone 2 comes with 13MP rear-facing and 5MP front-facing PixelMaster cameras for capturing great-looking, high-quality photos and videos in any situation. The latest PixelMaster 2.0 technology features a wide range of enhancements, including Low Light mode on both the rear and front cameras, allowing users to capture up to 400% brighter photos and videos at night or in dimly lit scenes. When a flash is preferred, ZenFone 2 is equipped with a Real Tone Dual LED flash to ensure warm skin tones and natural colors.

The camera also features an enhanced HDR mode and a blue glass infrared filter, making ZenFone 2 one of the best smartphones for capturing challenging backlit scenes, such as sunset portraits. The camera’s zero shutter lag lets users take photos instantly, helping them capture those precious moments that can pass in the blink of an eye.

ZenFone 2’s 5MP front-facing camera features a wide, 85-degree field of view perfectly engineered for taking selfies. Built-in real-time beautification makes taking selfies even more fun. When taking a selfie with a group of friends, or including scenery in the shot, ZenUI Selfie Panorama mode lets users capture panoramic selfies with up to a 140-degree field of view.

For those seeking fine-grained control over camera settings like ISO, shutter speed and more, Manual mode offers users a DSLR-like experience right on their smartphone.

Uncompromising Performance

ASUS ZenFone 2 is powered by the latest 64-bit Intel Atom Super Quad Core processor and is the world’s first smartphone with 4GB of 64-bit dual-channel RAM—delivering super-fast, PC-like data transfer speeds—for blazingly-fast multitasking and smooth performance when running the latest apps. A 60ms touch response time ensures lag-free input, and OpenGL 3.0 provides incredible gaming performance.

ZenFone 2 dual-SIM slot with Dual Sim Dual Active (DSDA) technology ensures that users will never miss important calls. While making or receiving a call on SIM 1, users can switch seamlessly without disconnecting SIM 1 if another caller tries to contact them on SIM 2.

Users will spend less time waiting and more time enjoying ZenFone 2 with its high-capacity, 3000mAh battery that provides more than a full day of use on a single charge. BoostMaster technology enables 2X faster charging, letting users charge ZenFone 2 from from 0% to 60% in just 39 minutes. When charging, ZenFone 2 helpfully displays the current battery state and remaining time needed before the battery is fully charged.

More Personalized Interface

ASUS ZenUI on ZenFone 2 has been updated to provide a simpler and smarter user experience. To ensure ZenUI is always up-to-date, ASUS put more than 30 ZenUI apps in the Google Play, so each app can be updated separately without having to wait for a system update like on most other Android smartphones. With ZenUI Instant Updates, ASUS developers can make ZenUI updates available immediately, avoiding delays between app releases and ensuring the best experience for ZenFone 2 users.

ASUS Launcher, also available in Google Play, features enhancements such as easy customization and ZenMotion, a collection of intuitive touch gestures, each providing a new way of interacting with ZenFone 2, such as double-tapping on the screen to wake the device.

Along with ZenMotion is a collection of touch gestures that can be enabled to instantly launch different apps even when the screen is off. For example, when a user swipes the screen as if writing the letter C, the camera app will open. Swiping as if writing a lowercase letter E will open the email app.

Other special motion gestures are available for different purposes. For example, by double-tapping on the home key, the user can switch to one-hand mode for easy single-handed operation. The user can also gently shake ZenFone 2 to have the information currently displayed on the screen be added to Do It Later.

 SnapView lets users easily secure their data in ZenFone 2. SnapView provides different storage spaces to keep personal files separate from work files. SnapView ensures photos, documents, and other files remain unopened if a user logs in with different username.

Ultimate Entertainment

ASUS ZenFone 2 is packed with entertainment features. Its 5.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080 resolution) IPS display with a wide 178-degree viewing angle and ASUS-exclusive TruVivid technology delivers amazing brightness and brilliant colors for incredible gaming and video-watching experiences.

ZenFone 2 is equipped with SonicMaster technology for revolutionary smartphone sound quality. Compared to its predecessor, ZenFone 2 has 38% larger audio chambers and improved speakers with better diaphragms and stronger voice coils, resulting in 4X more powerful sound output, 4X deeper bass (increased by 14dB), and 2X higher pitch.

The included Audio Wizard application lets users customize ZenFone 2’s sound for a truly personal audio experience. When AudioWizard is turned on, users can choose from six different output modes to give them the type of sound they desire.

“With all these enhancements, we strongly believe that ASUS ZenFone 2 can meet our loyal ASUS ZenFone customers’ expectations,” said Jerry Shen. “With a more affordable price than other premium smartphones available in the market now, there is no reason not to choose ASUS ZenFone 2 as your first choice smartphone,” he added.

AVAILABILITY & PRICING IN MALAYSIA

ASUS ZenFone 2 is now available in Malaysia, at your local resellers and authorized ASUS Store, starting from this week onwards.

Pair up your Asus Zenfone 2 with Digi SmartPlan, the best internet plan in town with two great choices of high voice or high data. It’ll be available at all Digi stores nationwide from 15 May 2015 onwards.

Selangor, 13 May 2015 – Grill masters have observed that grilling a piece of meat not only leaves less fat in the food but also seals in moisture and keeps it tender, thus resulting in a more delicious, calorie-friendly meal.

The experts at Kenny Rogers ROASTERS (KRR), famous for their rotisserie-roasted chicken, have perfected the art of grilling and are now offering guests the chance to enjoy their all-time favourites with items that are seared to perfection and guaranteed to tantalize the taste buds.

Guests will be excited to know that they can now enjoy KRR’s signature roasted Quarter Chicken paired with succulent lamb or beef in three exciting meal options under the ‘Greatest Grills’ promotion – Chicken and Beef, Chicken and Lamb and House Platter.

Guests who wish to enjoy the best of both worlds can feast on the hearty House Platter, which features Kenny’s famous Quarter Chicken with grilled lamb and half-grilled steak, served alongside Chunky Veggie, Mashed Potato & Gravy, as well as Kenny’s signature Home-made Muffin to round-up the meal.

“We understand the importance of healthy living and have carefully planned these meals to suit the different taste buds of our valued guests. Eating healthy does not necessarily mean giving up good taste. Grilling is a perfect way to enjoy a meal with fewer calories, without sacrificing on the flavour. This is why we have introduced these delectable and more nutritious options under our ‘Greatest Grills’ promotion,” said Christina Thong, Marketing Manager of Berjaya ROASTERS (M) Sdn. Bhd.

There are only two ways out of the ONE Championship cage on fight night — one in victory and one in defeat. For Malaysian featherweight sensation Ev “E.T.” Ting (9-2), losing is not an option when he takes on feared Russian, the undefeated Marat “Cobra” Gafurov (10-0), at ONE: Warrior’s Quest which goes down in Singapore on Friday, May 22.

“Silly question, prepared would be an understatement,” said Ting, when asked if he is ready for his showdown with Gafurov. “I’ve been training too long and too hard to not be prepared.”

Ting’s task isn’t complicated by any stretch of the imagination. He’ll climb up the steps, showcase his signature brand of beatdown and raise hell inside the cage. There’s simply no other strategy that will be viable against a stud like Gafurov.

“He [Gafurov] is a world-class opponent, and like all fights, it is never easy,” said Ting. Gafurov at 10 wins is indeed a very tough matchup for anybody in the division, bar none. The Russian has a knack for grappling, with six submission victories to his name, as well as three stoppages and a decision win to round off his record.

Despite his opponent’s impressive credentials, Ting remains defiant. “[Gafurov] is undefeated for a reason — but he will not be prepared for what I have in store for him.”

Ting owns a win over the popular Will “The Kill” Chope — who he defeated by knockout — and exhilarating finishes over Filipinos Edward Kelly and Cary Bullos. Ting was also victorious in his ONE Championship debut last year, a 1st-round TKO over Yohan Mulia Legowo.

“My style matches up terribly against anybody,” said Ting before issuing a challenge to his next foe. “If [Gafurov] wants a boring fight he can grind me out with his grappling body lock… but if he wants to entertain, I will be in the center of that cage ready to bang.”

However, simply pursuing war inside the cage is but seemingly pointless in the grand scheme of things. Like all fighters, Ting draws strength from those close to him.

“I fight for my team, my family, my friends, for myself and for my legacy here on Earth,” said Ting. At an early age, Ting was already heavily invested in combat sports, and once he finished school, he looked to combat sports to drive his competitive nature.

Born in Malaysia but raised in New Zealand, Ting was always driven by his ambition to be the best in whatever he did. When a nearby gym opened up near his home in Auckland, Ting met Hamish Robertson, the mastermind behind Auckland MMA. It was then that fighting — under the tutelage of Hamish Robertson — became Ting’s profession of choice.

“[Robertson] crafts me into a better fighter everyday,” said Ting. “Training is always filled with great people, atmosphere and of course fun. Otherwise, I would not train.”

When fighters step into the cage, they put their lives on the line. Training makes up a great deal of a fight, and it’s these behind-the-scenes stories that determine whether or not a fighter is ready to go to war.

There is an uncanny beauty in combat sports that is found only in the solitude of the battleground, as two fighters stand across each other before the sound of the bell.

For Ev Ting, fighting is life, no matter how difficult it can be sometimes. “I wouldn’t say [training] is easy,” said Ting. “But it is easier for me than a 9-5 job.”

“There are a lot of reasons why I stay disciplined, but the most important would be trusting in my work and staying hungry for the ultimate prize.”

For now, the ultimate prize is within arm’s reach. The only obstacle standing in his way is a hissing cobra by the name of Marat Gafurov — but it’s one obstacle Ting is ready to barrel through.

A victory could line him up for a shot at the ONE Featherweight World Championship.

Pengguna kini boleh mengucapkan selamat tinggal terhadap kelemumur yang tersembunyi di antara celah rambut mahupun di hujung bahu yang menjejaskan penampilan. Dengan ini, CLEAR telah melancarkan teknologi terbaru untuk merawat dan menghalang pertumbuhan semula kelemumur termasuk menyuburkan rambut dan kulit kepala untuk kesan perawatan yang berpanjangan. CLEAR juga menampilkan wajah baru untuk CLEAR Women dan CLEAR Men – kini jenama syampu lelaki nombor 1 di dunia**. Di samping itu, CLEAR juga menggalakkan  pengguna untuk tampil lebih berani dan berkeyakinan ketika berada di khalayak ramai.

Para saintis Unilever telah memperolehi penemuan saintifik yang membuktikan bahawa kelemumur sebenarnya boleh memberi impak negatif terhadap keyakinan seseorang dalam pelbagai cara. Masalah kelemumur yang muncul semula selepas cucian adalah satu keadaan yang menganggu 9 daripada 10 orang pengguna – wanita dan lelaki – dan mereka yang terganggu dengan isu ini akan menggunakan pelbagai cara untuk menyembunyikan masalah ini, sama ada dengan menggenakan pakaian yang bewarna lebih terang, memakai topi atau penutup kepala, semata-mata ingin berusaha mengelak orang di sekeliling daripada mengenalpasti masalah kelemumur yang dihadapi oleh mereka.

“Kami percaya setiap orang mempunyai potensi dalam diri mereka yang boleh ditonjolkan, dan apabila kelemumur menjadi masalah utama  yang melemahkan tahap keyakinan diri, ia tentunya menganggu prestasi untuk mengembangkan potensi diri anda. Sasaran CLEAR adalah untuk memotivasikan para pengguna supaya lebih berani berdepan dengan segala cabaran dengan yakin tanpa merasa terganggu dengan masalah kelemumur kerana CLEAR mampu menyuburkan kulit kepala untuk perlindungan berterusan termasuk menghalang kemunculan semula kelemumur,” kata Phoenix Ho, Pengurus Jenama Penjagaan Rambut, Unilever Malaysia.

Teknologi CLEAR baharu menyuburkan kulit kepala untuk perlindungan berterusan.

Lapisan kulit kepala boleh dijejaskan menerusi tekanan psikologi dan persekitaran, yang membenarkan pertumbuhan kulat yang dikenali sebagai Malassezia untuk membiak di permukaan kulit kepala, melemahkan sistem ketahanannya dan kemudian menyebabkan sel kulit mati gugur secara tidak normal. Ini mengakibatkan masalah kelemumur. Kebanyakan syampu anti-kelemumur yang ada di pasaran telah diformulasikan dan fokus utamanya adalah untuk mengatasi Malassezia yang dikatakan sebagai punca pengguna menghadapi isu kelemumur. Teknologi CLEAR yang baru bagaimanapun mampu memberikan kesan bukan sekadar mengatasi masalah kemelumur, tapi ia juga membantu pengguna mendapatkan rambut dan kulit kepala yang lebih subur untuk perlindungan berterusan.

Menerusi kajian yang telah dijalankan selama 15 tahun di institut kajian kulit kepala di Paris, Perancis, teknologi terbaru CLEAR adalah rangkaian produk penjagaan rambut yang paling komprehensif termasuk syampu yang  terbukti secara klinikal. Malah, penemuan formula baru itu membantu mengaktifkan lapisan perlindungan kulit kepala secara semulajadi selain membantu menghalang pertumbuhan semula kelemumur. CLEAR memahami keperluan yang berlainan untuk rambut lelaki dan wanita, dan telah memformulasikan penyelesaian secara spesifik dalam mengatasi masalah rambut mereka.

Diformulasikan dengan Nutrium 10, kandungan nutrien penyuburan yang unik dan hebat, teknologi CLEAR terbukti mampu meningkatkan tahap kesuburan kulit kepala, membantu mengekalkan sistem perlindungan dan memberi kesan efektif dalam membasmi masalah kelemumur. Selain itu, ia juga terbukti secara klinikal membantu untuk mengekalkan lipid, struktur komponen sel membran yang paling diperlukan untuk kulit kepala yang sihat. CLEAR Women adalah perawat Anti-Kelemumur yang terbaru yang tidak lagi tertumpu hanya untuk membasmi Malessezia, tetapi juga membantu mengekalkan kesihatan dan menyuburkan kulit kepala untuk perlindungan berterusan.

Sebaliknya, kulit kepala lelaki lebih cenderung dengan masalah kelemumur kerana cara hidup yang berbeza, dan persekitaran. Dalam aspek fisiologi, kulit kepala lelaki lebih banyak menghasilkan sebum dan lebih cenderung kehilangan protein berbanding wanita. Pakar Kulit Kepala CLEAR Unilever telah menghasilkan formulasi spesifik untuk kaum lelaki dalam membantu mereka mengatasi masalah ini. Ia mengandungi Bio Nutrium 10 yang memanfaatkan kuasa Climbazole, bahan aktif yang dihasilkan oleh Unilever yang tidak cuma membasmi kelemumur dari akarnya, tetapi juga mampu meningkatkan penghasilan protein, keperluan utama dalam memiliki sel kulit kepala yang lebih kuat bagi membantu meningkatkan kemampuan perlindungan kulit kepala.

Wajah-wajah ikon antarabangsa CLEAR: Miranda Kerr dan Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo begitu sinonim dengan jenama CLEAR Men dan  sering ditonjolkan dalam kebanyakan kempen dan iklan produk ini selama 6 hingga 7 tahun. Persona Ronaldo menyinarkan sifar berkeyakinan, yang juga merupakan mesej yang ingin disampai oleh jenama CLEAR. Miranda Kerr, peragawati terkenal antarabangsa, juga menonjolkan sifat berkeyakinan yang dikagumi ramai, and oleh itu beliau telah dipilih sebagai wajah baru untuk rangkaian produk CLEAR Women. Sama seperti Ronaldo, Kerr akan memulakan kempen iklannya secara global dan berkongsi inspirasi terhadap CLEAR dan rahsia di sebalik rambutnya yang sihat menawan bersama  semua wanita di seluruh dunia.

Ejen Berkeyakinan CLEAR : Shaheizy Sam dan Juliana Evans

Shaheizy and Juliana merupakan aktor dan aktres berbakat dan popular tempatan dan tidak hairanlah mereka mendapat kepercayaan untuk dilantik sebagai Ejen Berkeyakinan CLEAR untuk memberi inspirasi keyakinan kepada pengguna. Kedua-dua personaliti ini cukup dikenali dengan kejayaan dan minat mereka dalam bidang yang diceburi, Shaheizy dan Juliana menggalas tanggungjawab untuk memberi inspirasi kepada pengguna agar tidak menjadikan masalah kelemumur sebagai penghalang utama untuk  mencapai impian mereka.

“Terdapat banyak rintangan dan halangan termasuk cabaran yang terbentang di depan ketika kita berusaha  untuk mencapai impian kita. Tentu sekali kita tidak mahu masalah kelemumur menjadi isu utama yang menhalang kita untuk mencapai impian. Mencegah itu lebih baik daripada mengubati, dan kerana itu saya mengamalkan penggunaan syampu CLEAR Anti-Kelemumur sebagai rejim harian saya. Ia menjadikan kulit kepala saya lebih sihat dan bebas daripada masalah kelemumur,” kata Shaheizy.

“Dalam menjalankan tugas harian, rambut kita sentiasa digayakan dengan pelbagai cara dari produk yang berlainan dan ia tidak sihat untuk kulit kepala. CLEAR adalah pilihan saya kerana ia menyuburkan kulit kepala anda dengan bantuan segala nutrien yang disediakan, menjadikan kulit kepala anda lebih sihat dan rambut anda juga akan kelihatan lebih menawan,” kata Juliana.

Cabaran untuk meningkatkan tahap keyakinan pengguna tempatan dan antarabangsa

Menerusi pelancaran ini CLEAR dalam misi untuk menjana keyakinan dan memberi inspirasi  kepada pengguna agar mereka tidak lagi menyembunyikan potensi diri kerana mengalami masalah rambut. CLEAR telah melancarkan inisiatif di peringkat dunia untuk meraih 2 juta pengguna yang berikrar untuk kembali berkeyakinan menerusi penggunaan syampu CLEAR.

Kempen ini juga telah dilancarkan di Malaysia, di mana CLEAR mencabar pengguna-pengguna tempatan untuk membuat ikrar yang sama. Bermula dari 12 Mei hingga 12 Julai, pengguna boleh melayari laman web https://www.clearmalaysia.com/bareitall/ , memuat naik imej terbaik mereka di dalam ruang yang disediakan dan menghantar penyertaan sebagai ikrar mereka untuk menjadikan syampu anti-kelemumur CLEAR sebagai rejim harian. Rangkaian CLEAR terbaru kini boleh didapati di semua farmasi, pasaraya dan kaunter jualan di seluruh negara.

Kuala Lumpur, 14 May 2015 – Television viewers across Asia made history by voting the Philippine act El Gamma Penumbra the inaugural winner of “Asia’s Got Talent,” the thrilling hit talent competition series on AXN.

Impressing audiences through shadow plays of meaningful stories, El Gamma Penumbra was declared winner in the 10th and concluding Grand Final Results episode that premiered this evening at 8.05pm first on AXN.

The 12-strong El Gamma Penumbra team brings home the coveted “Asia’s Got Talent” title, the prize of US$100,000, and the opportunity to perform at Marina Bay Sands, where “Asia’s Got Talent” semi-finals, Grand Final and Grand Final Results shows were held. In addition, Jetstar added US$10,000 worth of flights to its network of 60 destinations across 16 countries in Asia as prizes, which were shared between the top two acts.

“Thank you so much for all the support and prayers for El Gamma Penumbra. We’ve been dreaming of this for a long time. Now that we’ve reached our dream it’s time for us to pay it back by giving wonderful and inspiring performances. Thank you to the Judges who inspire us to be more like you, to all Filipinos, to AXN, and to FremantleMedia for giving us the opportunity to perform on ‘Asia’s Got Talent’,” said Marvin Mendoza Marfa of El Gamma Penumbra.

Their winning Grand Final shadow play to the song “Colors of the Wind” was a touching tribute to Mother Earth that conveyed the importance of conservation. It brought judge Anggun to tears and earned David Foster’s praise for being “beautifully profound”.

Following the Grand Final episode that aired last Thursday, viewers’ votes were cast over four days via SMS, Facebook and the “Asia’s Got Talent” mobile app.

Towards the climactic end to this evening’s episode, El Gamma Penumbra and Mongolian throat singing band Khusugtun were revealed as the top two acts. Both reprised their Grand Final performances, El Gamma Penumbra with their tribute to Mother Earth while Khusugtun took viewers on their spellbinding vocal and instrumental musical “journey” through Mongolia, before the Filipino act was declared the winner.

In the Grand Final, El Gamma Penumbra also beat two other golden buzzer semi-final acts, the newly-engaged Chinese dancers Gao and Lin, and exuberant Filipino dance group Junior New System; together with five other acts voted by viewers into the Grand Final including Japanese dance group Triqstar; Filipino classical singer Gerphil Flores; aspiring Thai rockers The Talento; 10 year old Filipino singer Gwyneth Dorado; and young Singapore tap dance group Dance Thrilogy.

El Gamma Penumbra was fast-tracked into the Grand Final at Marina Bay Sands as the joint golden buzzer decision of the judges from their semi-final shadow play performance around the theme of world peace. Prior to that, El Gamma Penumbra wowed with their first piece that told the touching love story of a couple and won Anggun’s golden buzzer in the judges’ auditions.

In addition to crowning the winner, all nine Grand Finalist acts featured in a dazzling medley of “Turn Up the Music” by Chris Brown.

Performing together for the very first time were “Asia’s Got Talent” celebrity judges including 16-time Grammy-winning Canadian musician and record producer David Foster; UK pop sensation and former Spice Girl Melanie C.; Indonesian rock icon and international recording artist Anggun; as well as Taiwanese-American pop idol and actor Van Ness Wu.

The four stars sang a crowd-pleasing rendition of the catchy single ‘Let’s Groove’ by Earth, Wind and Fire. The special track is now available for download with all proceeds donated to the earthquake victims of Nepal.

David Foster was also reunited with his protégé, Filipino songstress Charice for a duet of the song “Lay Me Down’. Charice was the first Asian solo artist in history to make it into the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Anggun performed her signature hit song, ‘Snow on the Sahara’ complete with awe-inspiring orchestral accompaniment. The single was first released in 1997 in 33 countries worldwide, topped music charts in Italy and Indonesia, and made the top 20 in Finland, France, Japan, Spain and the US.

Australian illusionist-escapologist Consentino, himself the runner-up of “Australia’s Got Talent” in 2011, also graced the occasion. Consentino had audiences transfixed with his breath-taking grand staged illusion for the first time in Asia.

The Grand Final Results show brought the curtains down on “Asia’s Got Talent” which has made AXN the no.1 rated pay-TV channel collectively in Southeast Asia (which include Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines) and Taiwan, among all pay-TV audiences in its timeslot.[1]

Ang Hui Keng, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia said, “‘Asia’s Got Talent’ has been an incredibly thrilling success and the ratings speak volumes about the fantastic quality of the series. I would like to congratulate El Gamma Penumbra on winning the first ‘Asia’s Got Talent’ and to all contestants who have contributed to our inaugural season. We extend our thanks to FremantleMedia Asia, Syco Entertainment, our wonderful judges and all of our partners for believing in the dreams of Asia’s emerging talent.”

Paul O’Hanlon, Managing Director of FremantleMedia Asia said, “El Gamma Penumbra’s powerful performance last week exemplifies the creative story telling we’ve come to expect from the shadow play troupe.  Their ability to combine strong emotion with meaningful messaging that overcomes the barriers of language has, and will continue to, touch the hearts of viewers everywhere.

George Levendis, Head of International, Syco Entertainment said, “Congratulations to El Gamma Penumbra! And thank you to all of our brilliant partners and to the production team for all their passion and hard work in making this such a fantastic series.”

KUALA LUMPUR, 15 Mei 2015 – Telur goreng yang sempurna sememangnya menyelerakan. Namun, tiada telur goreng yang setanding telur goreng sempurna yang dimasak dengan Planta….enak, garing, penuh dengan aroma, tidak berminyak serta warna kuning dan putih telur yang menarik. Ia sememangnya hidangan mudah yang boleh dinikmati begitu sahaja, ataupun dimakan bersama dengan sandwic, sepinggan nasi goreng mahupun nasi lemak.

Planta, jenama marjerin terkemuka dan dipercayai oleh rakyat Malaysia sejak turun temurun, hari ini meraikan keenakan resipi telur goreng. Ianya dimasak dengan marjerin Planta yang mempunyai kandungan khasiat tinggi.

“Semua orang boleh menggoreng telur. Telur goreng adalah salah satu resipi yang paling mudah dan cepat untuk disediakan – jadi kenapa memilih telur goreng yang berminyak, kurang garing tanpa keenakan yang dikehendaki? Hanya dengan satu sudu Planta, keenakan telur goreng boleh diubah dengan serta-merta apabila dimasak dengan marjerin Planta yang harum aromanya. Planta bukan sahaja mempunyai rasa yang tersendiri, ia juga memberi tekstur garing beserta aroma yang menyelerakan. Hasilnya – telur goreng yang dimasak tampil sempurna, tanpa kesan minyak yang berlebihan dan penuh dengan kelazatan,” kata Joel Lim, Pengurus Jenama, Kategori Makanan, Unilever (M) Holdings Sdn Bhd.

Bagi kaum ibu, mereka tahu anak-anak mereka menggemari telur goreng, dan dengan marjerin Planta, semestinya telur goreng yang dihidangkan kepada anak dan keluarga mereka adalah lebih sedap dan lazat.

“Telur goreng adalah resipi yang sentiasa dipercayai oleh kaum ibu. Kami berharap kaum ibu akan menggunakan cara masakan ini yang dapat membantu dalam tumbesaran anak-anak mereka,“ tambah Joel.

Pada acara yang berlangsung di pusat membeli-belah terkemuka, 1 Utama, orang awam telah diberi peluang untuk menyertai Perang “Resipi Telur Goreng”. Orang awam dan pihak media diberi peluang merasa dan meneka perbezaan telur yang digoreng dengan Planta dan telur yang digoreng menggunakan minyak masak melalui ujian rasa itu. Selepas itu, mereka diberi peluang untuk mengundi resipi pilihan mereka.

Pelakon dan ibu kepada dua orang anak, Sharifah Sofia, juga turut serta dalam demonstrasi memasak telur goreng dan “Perang” Resipi Telur Goreng. Sharifah juga telah berkongsi pengalaman menambah telur goreng sebagai cara supaya anak sulungnya, Sharifah Ariana, berumur 4 tahun untuk menjamah nasi dan sandwic. Beliau akui keenakan telur goreng yang dimasak dengan Planta bakal menjadi resipi kesukaan ramai.
