KL just had Uniqlo, Singapore responded by having region's first H&M!

Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) will open its first Southeast Asian store on Orchard Road by autumn next year.

With 2,000 outlets worldwide, Sweden-based H&M is a global fashion retail giant and pioneer of design collaborations with international style icons such as Viktor & Rolf, Stella McCartney, and Karl Lagerfeld.

The success of getting H&M to venture into Singapore, which is known for its high fashion awareness, came just after Japan's Uniqlo double-storey store opening in Kuala Lumpur recently.

Global aviation tycoon Sir Richard Branson has agreed to be a flight attendant on a special charity flight between Kuala Lumpur and London.

He is expected to be wearing AirAsia's tight-fitting stewardess uniform. Skirt and high heels, yes no joke!

More details will be announced by AirAsia in coming days.

As I was strolling across Bukit Bintang one fine weekend...

out of the blue I came across this...

It was one of KL's largest Ferrari Gathering of the Year.

Unfortunately, Eric Yong reported one Ferrari (in a convoy) was caught in an accident on the highway.

Ouchhhh.

Kuala Lumpur-based AirAsia X has announced that it will begin service to Christchurch, the largest city in the beautiful South Island of New Zealand.

No date has been confirmed but the contract has been signed by both sides.

AirAsia X continues to lobby the Malaysian Government for approval to fly to Sydney after the government decided against ending flagship carrier Malaysia Airlines' monopoly on that route.
