H-Factor ended it’s final leg at Seri Pacific in Kuala Lumpur, after 3 weeks of travelling about. You can say that for the crew, it’s a good change when you are working near home instead. I found out later in the event that even though we were back on home turf, most of the crew had to stay at the hotel at the end of the day cause they were working day and night to get everything ready which means, no going homeeee… (whistle Michael Buble’s song – Home)

Harith Iskandar

One thing I observed after all that is the speakers, they pulled out all the stops. At each venue, they got better and you can say that reached KL, they were at their peak! Our friend from Penang, Vnn, could testify to that as she was at both the Penang and the KL leg and she pointed it out too that the style and confidence level of the speakers was so difference.

Hannah & I

Just like Penang and Johor’s workshop before this, the crowd was excellent, in fact, I believe this is the biggest crowd yet. Was told by Hannah and her team that even though they expect about 200 people, more than 300 people turned up for the workshop. (more…)

It was 7am on the Saturday morning when ShaolinTiger and I reached HELP College to meet up with the rest of the crew heading off to Penang with us. Why the journey? It’s cause we’re heading up north to meet up with Hannah Tan and the rest of the people for the H-Factor’s installment in Penang. My company, Events Xpert is involved in this as the official videographer.
