The first

thing I noticed was the refreshed outlook of the college. I used to come here to give talks during the fresher’s predeparture gathering, so I know how it looked liked, and it was okay, well, it looked like your typical classroom. This time, as you enter you’d see a huge *asterisk* mark that INTI is known for nationwide, their symbol of uniqeness. Can’t resist but to take a picture of it 😛

Before we were taken for a tour, I did a few checks of my own and found out that there are lots of spaces not common in a university building, spaces that do not have a specific function as you’d normally find elsewhere. Little did I know that it was somewhat of an accident too, as the management at INTI shared with me that by studying the behaviour of the students’ activities in these areas, they are able to learn how the space is being used in an organic fashion. FANTASTIC I tell you!

But that’s for later, let’s focus first on…. the Youtube Celebrity Gathering at INTI College Subang campus’s NEW AND COOL AUDITORIUM! Really love the spacious space, ideal for performances, talks, celebrations and anything you can practically think of. Fitting a capacity of 350 people with built in seats numbering 274 seats in total, this is an auditorium not to be made fun of. And guess what, each seat comes with its own power outlet and table, and the stage lighting and sound system is an American based integrated system – don’t play play ah!

In fact I’m already thinking of how to plan for @EYEProjectMY events here hehe *ding*

First we were entertained by some of our popular Youtube musicians, and in this case we had two awesome performers, Ryan Lucas & Jenn Cheah (@soimjenn). The audience really loved the cover of famous songs, a great start to the talk 🙂

Then begin the talk of the town, where @dmingthing, @reubenkang @jinnyboy, the folks at @GrimFilm and @dan_khoo got together to share with us their secrets to becoming famous Malaysians! Among some of the questions asked was more towards how they started that made them successful. But the truth is, any one of us could have starting Youtubing. @dmingthing used his laptop camera back then. So what’s your excuse?

Dan Khoo started without worrying if there will be people viewing his videos, believing in his work (which is excellent, by the way, saw “The Last Gift” which hasn’t come out yet.. You’d love it.)

Jared Lee & Roy Ajong believed in promoting feelings we try to deny from ourselves through GRIMFILM’s emotion-filled short films, when people only wanted to watch short, funny videos.

Jin Lim & Reuben W.J Kang of JinnyBoyTV believed so hard that our YouTube videos made in Malaysia will one day be made known globally, so people know where Malaysia is on the world map.

Well, guess what: they are now so famous and popular, YouTube Partners with videos fetching a million views, and respected by many including youths and adults alike, because they started and didn’t let anyone tell them not to 🙂

Anyhow, LOVED this Youtubers Celebrity Gathering at the INTI Edge Festival, get to know all of them even more closely, yes, even @MamaJinny hehe

That’s enough of the Youtube celebrities already, what else can we expect from the new campus? Well, an outdoor platform where it could either be a car park, a court for sports or *gasp* an entertainment ground! See what I mean about the flexibility of the place?

Oh and before I forget, we were taken around by Dr. Dominic Szambowski, Campus Executive of INTI International College Subang – 5^th from left. He’s so humble and approachable 🙂

Even the classrooms have an EDGE to it (hence, INTI Edge festival :P), showing futuristic architecture around the campus.

Taking a look at their front porch, we saw how creative the organizers were by turning it into a fashion walkway!

That’s when we met Anis Laila Yap Abdullah, Chief Executive of PJ College of Art & Design (PJCAD) and Dean of INTI Centre of Art and Design (ICAD) and Amit Sevak, CEO of INTI International University & Colleges, and of course like all bloggers we took a group picture together 😀

Ps it was Anis who contributed to the artistic side of the campus, so go thank her when you see her next!

Of course what is a campus without her facilities. Look at the number of MACS they have for the student’s use! Of course it is only restricted for its main purpose, but hey, this is something other universities may not provide – some sort like a secret weapon haha!

The grass seats can turn into a nice study area, as the administration noticed. So cool right, studying on the grass like how I used to do that in Hyde Park when I was still studying in Imperial College London. If I knew there was a park here too… hehe 😛

In any case, I was really impressed at the sort of change that has happened here. More creative, less structure, I think these are the basis of improving the way we look for solutions, troubleshooting elements and breaking out of the mould. The above points is why I’d probably consider an international college, to experience things others aren’t able to, giving me the required edge for my future career. So if you’re looking for a place to study, why not give IICS a go?

After what I’ve shared today, this should be a no-brainer 🙂

And for inviting me to be part of your celebration as well. It felt good to be treated like a VIP even though I am not familiar with all of them. To me, it was really a star-studded adventure as I stumble into Malaysian personalities I’d never thought I’d meet in real life, ever!

Didn’t dress as well as I’d like but I will be more ready next time (yes, already looking forward to your 13th bash haha!). Hopefully by that time I’d have a beautiful date to teman me too huhu #foreveralone

In any case let’s record the mini-adventure I had that night, and after that show you what else the celebration has to offer all of you in this 3-day long party.

It started with the celeb spotting session right outside the Black Box of Publika. Photogs and videographers were shooting at night, looking frantically for their “target” and shooting them at will. It was heaven for a lot of the media people lol.

Each of them would have to go through “the walk” where

our photographs would be taken in front of their striking red background where the number 12 was proudly displayed. There were a few objects to be held as well, and as you noticed I was holding the number 12 placard like this man here

Inside the venue various billboards were on display showing productions that the Red team has produced together with the talents, directors, writers all involved. It was great to see the amount of amazing talents in all these shows gathering in this one night – spectacular even!

This is me with Lina, one of the bosses of Red Comms (if I’m not wrong!) and since everyone went to congratulate her, I’d figured that I’d do it too. If she is, then I really respect her and her team for taking Red Comms through 12 wonderful years (as can be seen by the showreel they displayed for us). Kudos!

To describe to you how I felt when I noticed Ah Niu was just a few steps besides me will probably go like this “!@#$!@$!@$!%!”. Yes it was indescribable! This man has been sort of a hero to me as a Malaysian who has sang and acted all around Asia, even with his unassuming good looks (ahem) and very, very friendly personality!

I couldn’t help but to ask if I could have him on our #SPARCSeries and on principle he agreed, now all we need is to seal the deal! OMG! Exciting right

Then of course how could you miss these two out – Kuah Jen Han (@kuahjenhan) and Jehan Miskin (@jehanmiskin) standing together, their names almost identical to each other LOL. Seriously good looking lah these two, I wish I had their genes

Our three lovely ladies as the hosts for tonight’s party, and one Red Dragon member who played as the DJ of the night, blasting off awesome music as the night went on!

The people who made it happened! Thank you Marina Mahathir (@netrakl) for introducing me to all your friends, otherwise I wouldn’t have known a lot of them! Yes, that’s how little my knowledge is in this entertainment scene… Luckily I had…

… my good friend @SultanMuzaffar to help me out. In the end he become my source of dictionary, pointing me out to who’s who, and thanks to that I now know about the behind-the-scenes people who are normally not exposed to all of us normal guys haha. Thanks mang, I owe you one!

Of course I just had to bump to Albert, my partner-in-crime as we searched about looking for other famous people haha. One of them includes @LisaSurihani, who remains gorgeous as ever with that sweet personality of hers

Can you guess who they are?

And these are the amazing men and women who do all the background work. Actors and actresses love these people to bit because they turned them into who they are today. Let’s cheers for these unsung heros!

Towards the end, I actually noticed this guy getting and sending greetings to almost EVERYONE in the party, and I kept wondering to myself: who the heck was he? It wasn’t until then that I was told he’s the director of Puteri Gunung Ledang, yes, the legendary Saw Teong Hin! Of course I didn’t waste any time to greet him

Really it was all thanks to June, my fellow Imperial College alumni member who also happens to be very humble yet respected in this scene, to guide me around. I didn’t know anyone see, and it was her who did the introductions to many of them, including Ah Niu himself. So proud to know her :’)

All in all I had a fantabulous time with everyone, made new friends and cherished old ones (like Vince Chong etc); all thanks to the guys at Red Communications. You guys are AMAZING and here’s hoping for more projects between us at @SocialGrooves! THANK YOU and CONGRATS AGAIN!

PS please find below other programs you can join tomorrow: the last day of this 3 day party
