Exabytes Cloud & E-Commerce Day 2015

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Exabytes Cloud & E-Commerce Day 2015

Exabytes Cloud & E-Commerce Day 2015 happened in Kuching today. I only managed to attend the afternoon session. Very informative session for most I’m sure. For me, it’s all basic knowledge that I already knew. However, great to meet many whom I’ve not met for a long time.

Finally got to experience Google Glass and the Oculus Rift first hand. The former was a meh; the latter was amazing! I was in heels and just had my lunch, was a little dizzy and had not recovered from the shock when I was on the way to the function. I almost got into an accident because of the slippery road and I underestimate the curve of the road. When I tried Oculus Rift, not even 5 seconds, I surrendered. Yes! Sweet Surrender surrendered because she got too dizzy on a roller coaster while wearing the Oculus Rift hahaha…

Gonna share with you on what I’ve shared live today on Twitter and Instagram:

Brief Encounter with the Stars

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Brief Encounter with the Stars

It was a busy week last weekend. Kuching was the host of AIFFA (Asean International Film Festival & Award 2015). Was honoured to be able to be part of this prestigious events. Kuching was flooded with stars from ASEAN. Met some of the stars in person too. This post is just going to be a short one. Feeling sick. Just to share some photo opportunities I got last weekend with some of the stars. There were many of them but some were hard to approach.



So, I took photos with stars from Malaysia, Thailand, and Korea. Can you identify them? No prize for the correct guesses hahaha…

That’s all for now. This is how short this post it. Have a great week ahead.

Speak Eazy The Alternative Bar

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Speak Eazy The Alternative Bar

Another smoke-free bar in Kuching. Located at Carpenter Street and not too far away from Drunk Monkey. Speak Eazy The Alternative Bar (No. 61, Ewe Hai Street (Carpenter Street)) has different theme.


This is where you can enjoy some boardgames and chit chat with your friends. A very safe place to be, noticed many young adults or those in their late teens hanging out here. Space is limited means it’s safer and have better crowd control.

Best thing! No smoking!!


The choice of alcoholic drinks isn’t as extensive. Only a few but that’s good enough. They have food menu too. We tried the Eazy’s Chachos Pie (RM10), Chachos Chips with Chilli & Shredded Cheese. Yum! Love it! Great to go with cold beer. I highly recommend this. We also tried Somersby Pear Cider (RM16/bottle), nicer than the apple one, just too sweet. Therefore, have it with ice to dilute the sweetness.

Overall, it’s another great place in Kuching to hang out. Don’t worry about finding those annoying Ah Bengs or Ah Lians here. Not worrying about getting your whole body smells like a walking cigarette too.

Keep it up! We need more places like this in Kuching. I’m also glad that the businesses in this area are helping each other out. You can order food from other shops and they will send it over to you. This is the way to go rather than killing each other.

The Grand Unveiling

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on The Grand Unveiling

The Veil Wedding Gallery, finally reopens after going through a facelift.

It’s an honoured to be invited to attend the grand unveiling yesterday.


All the imported dresses. I touched and felt them… Very good quality! You know one when you hold them. This is the kind of quality you should be wearing for your big day. Too bad those on displayed were very big in size. No size for me, even if it’s altered, it’s still too long and too big for a petite frame. Not 1-2 inches alteration for sure, it’s more than that and it can be problem. Can only go for custom made. Problem with petite girls. Oh well…



Men aren’t left out. Also, pretty dresses must go with pretty accessories. Shoes, necklace, earrings… All these shoes are from White Label, founded in 2008 by Malaysian designer, Hazel Lui.

Of course! Photos with the famous people… How to resist? I felt like an elf! They’re all so tall -.-”

Left: Benjamin Toong, the catwalk guru.

Right: The lovely and talented, Sarah Lian.


Left: Swing Chan, very cute fashion stylist. She’s the only one as petite as I am hehehe…

Right: Winne Then, the gorgeous owner of the Veil.


Left: Guess who was there too! Toh Puan Sri Ragad! Wanted to take a photo with her but no guts to ask hehehe… Managed to shake her hand though. She was the one extended her hand. This is my third time seeing her in person and the first time coming so close to her and shook her hand. Friends did selfie with her in other events. It’s not easy to get this opportunity.

Right: Amber Chia! Need to say more? She’s very humble. Learnt how to pose in photograph from her. Hopefully I still remember the tips she gave, the smile and the pose. Should have written them down. Very useful tips.

Today is open to public with invites. Yesterday was only for the media and VVIPs.

Here’s the highlight of the day, fashion show! It’s been a long time not shooting fashion show. Skill is very much rusty. Lots of editing was done on all the photos. Enjoy the photos.








Love the back. It seems like the trend these days is showing the back design. Not much of skin showing at the back, it’s semi-transparent and with intricate designs. Great for those who have problematic skin at the back just like me.


You know where to go now for your big day?

The Veil Wedding Gallery is located at 8, Jalan Tan Sri Ong Kee Hui, 93300 Kuching. Opened from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 10am-6pm; Sundays from 10.30am to 2.30pm. Call 082-256828 for more details.
