An Introduction To Natural Sarawak

As kids, we grew up reading Grimm's Fairy Tales, where the hero (who is always a Prince) finds himself embroiled in an exciting adventure in an enchanted forest. Think Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, The Grateful Prince, Rumpelstiltskin and even Robin Hood. Think strange and unusual people, magical trees and speaking animals.

We will let the very eloquent and suave Anthony Sebastian of Borneo Futures tell you this fascinating “Once upon a time” story.

We Discovered Something Steamy Backstage of Fashion Week KL 2015

frigglive was at the launch of the recent Fashion Week KL 2015 held at Pavilion Mall when as usual we decided to kaypoh and go peek backstage.

Yes we did see some hot models changing clothes, but what got us all steamed up was discovering that it was the Laurastar ironing system that heroically and quietly kept things running smoothly backstage.

A quick word with our buddy Malik Taufiq soon had us sitting in the office of Ms Lim Pei Yan, the vivacious owner of Visionary Solutions Sdn Bhd, the sole distributor for highly innovative and superior home solution products like Laurastar, Dyson, Blueair and Sousvide Supreme.

Not only did we enjoy chatting with Ms Lim, we also got to test drive the Laurastar Pulse for four weeks and interview Mr Pierre Clement, the Co-founder of Laurastar. 

Watch this space as we test drive more innovative home solution products from Visionary Solutions.

Who Knew Ironing Could Be So Sexy? (No, we're not talking about Tony Stark)

*Ahem*cough*cough* If you've happened to notice that frigglive staff are rather well dressed lately, that's because thanks to the kind people at Visionary Solutions, frigglive got its hands on a coveted Laurastar ironing system.

What's Laurastar, I hear you thinking. Well, they are the world’s leading manufacturer and distributor of innovative top-of-the-range ironing systems.

We took home the all-in-one system consisting of an exclusive Laurastar active board, equipped with a blower and vacuum system to prevent unwanted creases, an integrated steam generator and a professional iron. We got to test drive it for a month, and there's a review coming up soon.

We also had very interesting chats with Visionary Solutions' Ms Lim Pei Yan and Laurastar's Principal Mr Pierre Clement, so watch this space closely for those upcoming interviews.

Psst! Interesting fact - Laurastar was the ironing system that kept things running smoothly at the recent KL Fashion week 2015 :-D How do we know? Cos we were there lah.

The Global Transformation Forum 2015 - 21 - 23 Oct, KLCC

At a time when governments across the globe are exploring and turning to innovative methodologies to meet the needs of their citizens and averting challenges that may have global impact, conversations on transformation have thus far been informal and uncoordinated. The GTF presents a unique and dedicated platform in providing and promoting cohesive dialogues on the ideas, insights and best practices that will successfully operationalise transformation.

The forum will focus on non-traditional approaches to policy making, project implementation and overcoming personal challenges. Speakers who will hold court for the 2-day event will include notable leaders, including present and former Heads of State, business icons and socioeconomic practitioners, who will share their personal transformation experiences as well as challenges faced in bringing their pursuits to transformational outcomes.
