CREATE!

This what CREATE is about!

Bringing people together to share, engage and be inspired to create an all new experience for everyone! And it’s quite apparent when I was at CREATE. We were treated to activities that requires us to work together with new found friends in achieving an engaging experience. Read on and you’ll find out more!

*Many thanks to CREATE for having me at the event*

I've arrived quite early on that day, expected that the weather could be a real pain in the ass as it was an outdoor event. Surprisingly CREATE has got it covered and provided a nice and rather enjoyable venue fully equipped with cooler fans that all the participants were quite happy with it.

There were bands playing earlier before it gets dark. We were also given some coupons that allow us to request songs from the band / DJ. But apparently a lot of people requested my favourite songs so what I did was just indulging myself in my favourite music!
Never have thought that those requested songs are like my Spotify playlist! Great minds think alike maybe?

Introducing #Mashtag Wall!
A rather interesting activity for the participants. What we need to do were arranging all the provided words to form a sentence. Take a picture and hashtag #CREATEMY and #Mashtag and we get to walk away with lucky draw prizes!

Did I win? Keep reading and you will find out more from below!

A cute little frame for all of us.
We can use it as photo frame to take pictures around and hashtag #createmy.
I was glad to meet Junor Law and Charrisa Tan. They were my partner-in-crime for the night.
We had a lot of fun taking photos and participating in all the activities of the night.

Crowd-In-Motion
I was really surprised as I remembered I've watched a video about cycling for healthier life and also for something else on the internet before. But be the one who is cycling for this event? This was really fun and it was really tiring doing it!
Managed to walkaway with some prizes too since we completed the challenge!

Basically you need to find another 4 persons to join us, and all 5 of you will be cycling together to complete the challenge. In case if any of you got tired, the other 4 can still back you up as long as you are not giving up. That's how it works and bring people together too!

You can tell from my face that I cycled really really hard!

What you need to do is to cycle and fill up the bars together with your teammates. 

You have to fill them up in seconds or you will lose the chance of winning some prizes.

CREATE: New Experiences Together
CollaboArt Wall
This is the wall that brought even more people together! A huge colouring wall that got us so excited!
The wall that can bring out the creativity of all the guests by inviting all the guests to express their fond memories toward Penang and also they can drraw their favourite memories into the wall.
This wall also contributed by the local Penang-born and bred influencer Koh Yung Shen, founder of The Swagger Salon and also DJ Ramsey Westwood. When asked about what they are impressed the most by Penang, they recalled memories of hanging out in Komtar, the iconic Penang Bridge and of course, the unforgettable Penang foods!

I was impressed by Charrisa's sense of arts. She can draw a tribal print out of nothing!

Simply amazing! I respect all kinds of art people all these while!

And that's me in action, photo thanks to Junor Law.

Left some prints for JJ In Da House, promotes my blog at the same time. 

CREATE Stage
The main highlight for the event where they brought together a few artists and also performers to bring up the heat for the event.
The night was featuring the internationally acclaimed artists, The Sam Willows and upcoming local artists, Paperplane Pursuit, Talitha Tan and also DJ Ramsey Westwood and DJ Alexis G.
So the party started with some spinning by DJ Ramsey Westwood.
You will not be strange to this DJ who has traveled around Malaysia and also out of Malaysia for his DJ journey. His music was rather comforting and brought up the heat of the night.
Some are even dancing on the dance floor and chilling around enjoying good music while talking to their friends.

As it gets dark, I can see more and more people coming into the party. It was getting more and more crowded but also very fun at the same time seeing people hanging around and make new friends.

Paperplane Pursuit in action!
This live band was quite popular in Malaysia and they have been featured on the radio channels and also they one of the current pop band that is getting popular these days.
I can also see many of their fans gathering on the dance floor and listen to their singing. No doubt, they are really good and made the evening even more interesting.

They were so friendly that they allow their fans to take photos with them. Here are some photos we had. Ling Tze was rather happy to meet them too!

Coming up next!
The Crowd-In-Motion's peak hour unlocked another heat to the famous band Sam Willows!

Sam Willows is made up of siblings Benjamin and Narelle Kheng and their friends Jon Chua and Sandra Riley Tang. They are from Singapore and traveled around the world bringing music to other countries as well.

They are one of the top guns of the night and their popularity is really high! A big crowd occupied most of the dance floor just to listen to their music and dance or sing along!
They presented their songs from latest album "Take Heart" such as Take Heart and All Time High, as well as other covers that they did.
It was really fun that I also start liking their music already! I'm now following their Youtube channel also do follow them at http://www.youtube.com/thesamwillows

I even made a live video of them singing and party along with my facebook friends!
It was really fun and great night!

Also, we have another session of lucky draw games and I was selected to be one of the winner!
It was really fun and felt lucky to be there! But I did gave away half of my prize to the girl who didn't win anything at the game. Sharing is caring, no?  <3 p="">

Before we end the night, we have the sexy goddess Alexis G spinning for us!
The music, beats were simply awesome and we all partied until midnight, even the rain could not stop us from partying! We were just dancing, drinking, talking all the way until the party end!


 It was real fun meeting people at the event, playing games together, achieving the winning and spending time doing all the activities, partying till late night.
I wouldn't mind if there's any other event like this and I would really love to go again!
Photos below shows some of my friends Cecilia Black, Tommy Ooi, Charrisa Tan, Junor Law, Wanida, Niki and Ling Tze! It was fun hanging out with you guys!
