Artsphere 20/8ty, The Atmosphere

80 3D murals drew by 20 talented artists, a new place to be in Klang Valley ( such a good news to all the peeps of Klang Valley, now we have our very own murals place to take photos! No need to go to Penang already!!!) 

Here I introduce you:

The Atmosphere, Seri Kembangan

My pleasure to be invited as one among the first to see the murals at The Atmosphere, and I tell you, waking up early to attend the launch was never a regret on that day to me because me and Jean had so much fun! Although the location might be a tad bit far for Setapakians like me (around 45mins drive), but it worth all the effort to get there and see all the never-seen before 3D murals in Malaysia!

Artists and the locations of the murals

The locations of the murals are scattered around the shop lots and buildings at The Atmosphere area, so you won't know what surprises you'll get when you turn around the corner, there are always surprises waiting. To me, it feels like a treasure hunt, looking at maps and search for the next treasure until finish find all 80 3D murals! 

These murals are not for "Please don't touch", but welcome everyone to interact with them. You can climb, lie down, touch, wanna lick also can if you don't mind, to squeeze the creativity out from your brain to create a unique photos of your own. 80 of them, can you handle???

Cool invitation card for the launch!

SPACE AGE: The Phantom Power

I never watch music performance myself. I was a drama student back then so I have this special bond when it comes to live performances, but music performances, is my very first time. Thanks to Dmuses for the invite, I've boarded on a journey last night that's out of my imagination!

The music performance venue was at White Box, Map Publike, also my first time there. A tad bit late to the venue and they're performing their first musical movements already. Aiks! SPACE AGE: The Phantom Power was created by Ng Chor Guan, who's been dreaming about space exploration since his childhood time, and finally able to bring the audiences along with him to this outta this world kinda experience along with other gifted musicians and video artists. 

The combination between sounds and light for this music performances are superb. With 8 freshly composed musical movements, I literally can feel that the stars and galaxies around me as if I'm in the middle of the space. From the Space Time, to Comet Cruise and Spectrum, then comes The Black Hole and finally Voyage Home and Panorama on the land of all mankind, you can only have the slightest idea of the feeling I had last night.

Look what the musicians have to say regarding their music performance:

During the music performance, I noticed there's one electronic music instrument that I've never seen before for my entire life, not even heard of it. It is invented by a Russian professor called Léon Theremin, and yes, the electronic music instrument was called Theremin that looks like this:

It plays without body contact with the player, only senses the player's hands position using two metal antennas. Both hands are used to control the oscillators for frequency and amplitude (volume) of the Theremin. Associated with an eerie sound, theremins are used in art music such as avant-garde and 21st century new music such as rock. The Artistic Director and Music Composer of SPACE AGE: The Phantom Power - Ng Chor Guan played the Theremin, and it is such a indescribable scene to see him play as you can feel the energy he portrays in feeling the music it creates. Such an eye-opener music performance.


Thanks Dmuses, the 5 gifted, talented musicians - Ng Chor Guan(Theremin & Computer), Angela Lou (Viola), Chai Kee Hong (French Horn), Foo Chie Haur (Flute) and Tan E-Jan (Piano) for such wonderful performance. Of course the feeling of being situated in space wouldn't be realistic enough if it wasn't for the 3 video artists that creates the atmosphere using lighting and projectors - Thian Siew Kim, Okui Lala and Mouse.




Thanks for bringing me to space and back. It is such an inspiring journey that one can only feels when they see SPACE AGE: The Phantom Power's music performance.

You know, charm bracelet doesn't have to be the USUAL charm bracelet that we always see, as Akiyo comes up with their very own kind of charm bracelet that will adore by most of the girls. Let me show you, the new concept of charm bracelet in the form of fresh water pearls:

Elegant, chic and stylish at the same time

We always have the fix idea of pearl jewellery: elegant but mature, expensive, suits female of certain age level, but not anymore with Akiyo's new pearl jewellery concept. These are young looking pearl jewellery with a twist. With Swarovski crystals of different colours to match, you can even customize your own pearl bracelet with the charm of your choice!

Pink pearls are my favourite

Every pearl is a unique gift from the mother nature, just like who we are. These genuine fresh water pearls of Akiyo comes in 3 shades: Pearl white, pink and champagne gold. I couldn't take my eyes out of them and keep snapping photos of these pearl bracelets. Love them to bits! And did you know that these pearl bracelets are about RM189 per-bracelet? Such a worthy price for a pretty bracelets like this!

Pearl white, pink and champagne gold pearls.

Create your own style with mix and match of bracelets from Akiyo's different range:
What I'm wearing is pink pearl bracelets with black gemstones bracelets. 

Thanks to Akiyo, I finally can start creating a charm bracelet that tells the story of my own. A story that I bury deep down inside my heart, waiting for the dream to bloom at the right time. It is my lifelong dream to gaze up to the Eiffel Tower of Paris, and with this charm to reminds me, I will work even harder to make my dreams come true.

My Paris Dream, a dream which does not fade away even the sun set. 

Look at the fine creation of Akiyo's charm bracelet.
It is such a wonderful Christmas present.

The beautiful dreams dangling on my wrist
motivates me to keep fighting for it in my life.

Thanks to Butterfly Project and Akiyo for the wonderful gifts that brings a whole new meaning of charm bracelets to my life. It is a gift for myself in the future to thank myself for being a hardworking person to achieve more in my life, a gift of life to keep me going on and on. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
