Boost Juice Bars in Malaysia

Posted By Michael Yip / June, 28, 2011 / 0 comments

Recently, the team from Boost Juice Bars invited me to check out their Pavilion outlet and check out some of the signature juices they create. I’m a closet juice fanatic, use to make a lot of it back when I was working in Singapore as it’s easy access for me to get to the fruit stalls from my home (It was just downstairs after all). I do wonder how they know, maybe they could sense who among us that loves to drink juice. Hmm..

Anyway, got to meet up with Nick Tiernan and Dr. Soraya Rahim, the husband and wife team that brought this franchise into Malaysia and with 9 outlets around Malaysia and 4 in Singapore.They are aiming high to open a lot more in the coming years. There was 1 in Penang too at Gurney Plaza that I managed to visit on my recent trip to Penang. Friendly people behind the counter and really knows what they are working with. Try to give them suggestions of this or that fruit combination and they can tell you whether it’ll work or not. (more…)

Festival of Magic 2008

Last Thursday, received a call from David which goes “Hey Dude, what you doing tomorrow? Want to see some magic show or not?” and my natural reaction was .. SURE! And so, that’s how I got myself to Subang Parade on a Friday night after work to watch the 2nd round of a competition showcasing some of the new stars of the Magician Fraternity from around the world.


Floating hat, I want to learn how to do that!!

One of the crowd favorite, especially among the girls was this dude from Korea that does some robotic dance, quick mask changing and some very slick tricks.


Mary Poppin of China… j/k!

The other was a guy from China, according to David Lai, he is one of the rising stars in Asia. Garnering loud cheers at all his tricks mostly played around umbrellas which he could summon continuously out of “thin air”.

The show ends with a performance by our very own Malaysian Magician which did some nice tricks using a large box. At one point of the performance, he even managed to pull StrippedSteph up to the stage to be part of the show! How nice…
