Malaysia Airlines flashmob at KLIA

One of the hottest Malaysian video on Youtube recently - Official Video: Malaysia Airlines Missing You Flashmob at KLIA with over 700,000 views under a week, became the latest news among citizens around the world be it youngsters or seniors.

Finally had a chance to watch the flashmob video a few days back when several friends shared it on my Facebook news feed. Being a regular Youtube user, I read the comments while waiting for the video to load. Netizens from everywhere had posted comments like "The Best Airport in the World ! i'm proud to be a Malaysian!", "awesome!!", "awesome...i've been there n hope 2 be there again." and many others.

After loading the 6 minutes 21 seconds long video, I started watching it & had the exact same verdict as the top comment stating "proud to be a Malaysian!".

The video was shot at the KLIA arrival hall incorporated 8 songs in various languages with flashmob dancers donned in many different outfits & moods, instantly giving a 'muhibbah' & homecoming feeling.

Throughout the video, I enjoyed the different fusion of songs used & how it was presented. With over 100 dancers of different races, I felt that it symbolized unity in the country.

I hope this will be a regular practice by Malaysia Airlines every year with more innovative plans for the years to come, visitors from around the world will definitely have an unforgettable eye opener!

I was out shopping for CNY clothing at The Curve a few days back and wanted to stop by Kenny Rogers Roasters for lunch, but I realized something that I was out of cash after shopping.

But I remembered having about 5000 points (equivalent to RM50.00) inside my BCard available for on-the-spot redemption, so I walked into the restaurant with a cashless wallet.

Ordered a Kenny Quarter Meal and paid with my BCard afterwards.
