They say the cartoon character you like more or less reflects what type of person you are. If you like Hello Kitty, you're the girlish/princessy type, if you like Dragon Ball character, you're the courageous/justice type etc... As for me, I found my soul mate few years back, I can never find one cartoon character that has so much connection with me and when Rilakkuma character landed in Malaysia, I'm hooked on it! (I'm eating Rilakkuma Pretzel while typing this post lololol)
Rilakkuma which literally means Relax (Rilak) and Bear (Kuma), is a character by San-X and first appeared in year 2003 on a comic book called Rilakkuma Seikatsu (Life of Rilakkuma). It quickly become a big hit because of it's relaxing, lazing around cuteness and has become a big hit since then. And now, I can't believe that I'm invited to Butterfly Project x Canon's Around The World with Rilakkuma & Canon event, and of course I can't wait to have a look at the Canon EOS M10 x Rilakkuma Collaboration set.
The event hosted at WhupWhup cafe on a sunny Saturday

| Look who I brought to the event with me although the invitation clearly stated no plus one (shhhh~) |
The event's dress code is Travel and it took me quite some time to figure out what I'm gonna wear that day because my travel style are usually comfy and casual. Lucky me I bought a Rilakkuma raincoat during my last Bangkok trip and I was like, rainy days is a part of travel weather too sometimes so why not?
 |
| and I end up looking like a huge Rilakkuma bear hahahahaha Here are the S, M, L and XXL size Rilakkuma lol |
Never once I step into an event venue with big wide smile like that day. Seeing all the Rilakkuma plushies sitting around the chairs, colourful balloons everywhere, I'm literally in Rilakkuma wonderland. Canon has decided to take travel and adventure to another level by jumping into Nui-Dori's bandwagon. Nui-Dori means Toy-Travel is a recent hype where you bring your toy to travel with you and include the toy in travel pic. And with the collaboration with Rilakkuma, Canon's Special Edition EOS M10 Box set comes with a limited edition 24cm Rilakkuma plush toy and is officially Canon's next travelling companion.
In conjunction with this blogger event, a special guest was invited to the venue, needless I say....

| It is Rilakkuma in the house OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG *hyperventilating* |
I almost cried when I saw it walking out from backstage. I never thought I would be able to see life-size Rilakkuma walking around, waving, doing some silly dancing moves in my life. At least not when I'm at Malaysia and not Japan. I try so hard to calm down and not to cry, it is one of the precious, touching moment in my life and I gotta thank Canon Malaysia for this!

| Let's practice Nui-Dori on the spot shall we? |

Another highlight moment of the event were the lucky draw and best dress contest. Too bad I didn't get to win in lucky draw which the grand prize is the Limited Edition Rilakkuma x Canon EOS M10 bundled kit, but still I won a prize in the best dress contest and got myself a big Rilakkuma plushie!

The EOS M10 is the latest addition to canon's EOS M ranged of high performance mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera. It is the most compact and lightweight in the series, this camera is the camera you want to bring to travel and experience the adventures in life without missing any beautiful moment capturing opportunity.

| Small but powerful! Can we go travel around the world together someday? |
Last but not least, I'm glad that I was at the event with these two:

| What's more happier than having everything you love in one picture? |
