A collaboration aspired to spread joy among children at the hospital, MB Playland is also an initiative targeted to provide children with fun-filled games that will leave a positive impact on their well-being and, at the same time, generate a positive vibe within the hospital environment.

MB Playland marks a significant start of Marrybrown’s CSR initiative under the umbrella of Marrybrown Charities Association. Stepping up to help create a better future for Malaysians, Marrybrown kick-starts Marrybrown Charities Association with the purpose to provide help and support for underprivileged children, single mothers and senior citizens through various charity events.

Chairman of Marrybrown Charities Association, Dato’ Lawrence Liew said that they have always been participating in various charity activities since the beginning of their business start-up as he always believed in giving back to the society.  

“We are very proud to collaborate with Hospital Sultan Ismail as we open the first MB Playland here in Johor Bahru. Marrybrown targets to raise a positive thinking and confident child through MB Playland, which serves as an appropriate distraction especially for young patients coming for treatment. There is a need for children to play and enjoy themselves even while waiting for medical treatment, and Hospital Sultan Ismail is proven to have the perfect space to develop a playland in its premise,” said Dato’ Lawrence.

Focusing on elevating the lives of underprivileged children, single mothers and senior citizens, Marrybrown intends to develop the standard of living and quality of life by providing the right education and welfare - contributing to social harmony and peace.

“Helping the needy isn't only about providing donations or money, but to also understand the background they come from and nevertheless still support them in the slightest way possible.

“It has always been our utmost priority to put people first, be it our employees, customers or the community. It is such an honor to collaborate with Hospital Sultan Ismail in working towards empowering the community and we hope that through this partnership, we can extend our support in many other ways,” added Dato’ Lawrence.

Additionally, Marrybrown will also be placing their donation box in every outlet where everyone can contribute to the society and make a difference.

Since the opening of its first outlet back in 1981, Marrybrown has grown locally and abroad successfully as Malaysia’s first and largest fast food chain, with more than 500 locations across 16 countries. As a proud Malaysian-born brand, Marrybrown is always committed to giving back to society with various programmes under Marrybrown Charities Association umbrella, focusing on providing for underprivileged children, single mothers and senior citizens.

7 BABAK , 1 PENTAS BERPUSING 360 DARJAH..CERITA TENTANG NEGERI MELAKA HANYA DI ENCORE MELAKA

7 BABAK , 1 PENTAS BERPUSING 360 DARJAH..CERITA TENTANG NEGERI MELAKA HANYA DI ENCORE MELAKA

Aku rasa ramai je orang dah upload gambar ber 'ootd' di Encore Melaka ni. Rata-rata kalau kita scroll location di Instagram , Encore Melaka , pasti ramai sangat teruja untuk bergambar di bangunan yang bentuknya sangat rare dan unik. Namun , disebalik bentuk binaan bangunan itu sebenarnya tersimpan satu cerita. Certia tentang negeri Melaka. Cerita itu dipentaskan dan dilakonkan secara live oleh 200 local performers.

Apa yang menariknya tentang persembahan teater ini? Pentas yang digunakan berpusing 360 darjah! Ia betul. Berpeluang menonton sebanyak dua kali , pengalaman menonton teater ini harus aku catitkan di dalam blog ini. Pada mulanya aku tak berapa nak faham sangat apa sebenarnya mesej yang hendak disampaikan di dalam teater ini.

ootd dulu dekat luar sebelum masuk menonton teater

Tapi , bila dah dua kali tengok baru ler aku faham susunan cerita ini. Satu pentas yang berpusing 360 darjah dan dipersembahkan sebanyak tujuh babak sudah mampu membuatkan penonton faham kenapa Melaka itu sebagai sebuah negeri yang selalu dikunjungi para pelancong. Antara tujuh babak itu ialah Parameswara , Cheng Ho , Perkahwinan Nyonya , 6 Ibu , Wanita yang mengandung , Wau dan akhir sekali babak akhir yang mempersembahkan kesemua 200 local performers tampil ke atas pentas.

Apakah babak yang paling aku minati?

6  Ibu ! Babak ini telah berjaya menyentuh hati aku. Rasa nak menangis juga sebabnya ialah ibu aku kan dah meninggal. Pada pertama kali aku menonton , aku memang tak faham maksud disebalik 6 ibu itu. Apabila menonton kali kedua baru la aku faham. M.E.L.A.K.A itu lah simbolik kepada enam ibu itu. Paling sedih bila mahu mengambil gambar sekeluarga ,dan si pelakon itu sedar yang rupa-rupanya kesemua ibu dia telah tiada. Sayu sangat rasa hati ini.

Konsep teater ini sangatlah unik dan kenapa ianya sangat "mahal" untuk ditonton? Ini kerana setiap pertukaran babak punya daya tarikan serta kelengkapan teknologi yang canggih. Iyelah, siap ada scene air jatuh lagi. Eee , tak nak banyak cakap. Ini antara yang aku boleh kongsikan kepada korang. Tengok ler.. Wow giler!. Aku letak video IGTV disini special untuk korang tengok. Tenok sket-sket je yer!

“SERONOKNYA RAYA TAHUN INI..YANG ADA ADIK-BERADIK LELAKI PASTI RASA TENSION SAMA MACAM AKU TAPI TAK LAGI..SEBABNYA..”

“SERONOKNYA RAYA TAHUN INI..YANG ADA ADIK-BERADIK LELAKI PASTI RASA TENSION SAMA MACAM AKU TAPI TAK LAGI..SEBABNYA..”

Setiap kali tiba musim hari raya , perkara ini antara masalah utama yang aku kena hadap. Bengang jugak lah yela dah setiap tahun kan nak kena hadap. Nak tahu ape? Masalah nak cari baju raya untuk lelaki. Untuk pengetahuan korang , aku dibesarkan dengan mempunyai adik-beradik semua lelaki. Bayangkan terhimpit aku seorang perempuan nak melayan kerenah dan nak hadap masalah ini setiap tahun.

Menjadi rutin setiap tahun aku kena mengalah. Mengalah untuk biarkan adik-beradik aku shopping baju raya diorang dulu. Iya betul! Dalam keluarga aku pula , kitorang memang jenis suka shopping last minit. Jenis malas nak tempah-menempah baju. So , korang boleh bayangkan macam mana kelam-kabut keluarga aku lagi-lagi bila nak shopping baju raya. Hahaha. Oh ya , dalam keluarga aku pula macam tak kisah sangat nak baju sedondon ke tidak tapi aku ler yang selalunya nak sedondon dan suai padankan warna supaya nanti bila bergambar nampak ler sedap mata memandang.

Stress ke tidak shopping dengan adik-beradik lelaki? Jawapannya tak la sangat. Tapi kadang stress juga. Hahaha. Sebab citarasa masing-masing tak sama. Macam aku ni pula jenis akan tengok design dan material baju tu sesuai ke tidak dengan harganya. Yela, kadang tu design biasa sangat , “its too simple” orang Johor cakap tapi harga kemain Yahudi mahal. Isu-isu macam gini juga boleh buat aku macam tak puas hati.

Kurta oh kurta

Kemeja pun ada jugak! Kacax kan!

Yang ini limited edition punya! kemain siap bergambo dengan Pak Inche , Suami Kak seri

Bercakap tentang shopping raya ini aku nak kongsikan pengalaman aku sejak dari kecil lagi. Kami sekeluarga memang dari kecil akan shopping baju raya di Plaza Angsana Johor Bahru . Tapi disini majoritinya banyak menjual baju raya untuk perempuan dan sangat sedikit pilihan untuk baju raya lelaki. Kesian betul dekat adik-beradik aku kan, malah lagi bertambah stress sebab tak banyak pilihan. Aku rasa pada mereka yang tinggal di sekitar Johor Bahru dan Singaporean memang selalu akan shopping disini. Nampak tak kalau lambat ‘cop’, habis semua design yang herlok-herlok.

Buat apa nak stress rebut-merebut kalau dah jumpa mana yang sesuai dihati! Iya betul. Pada tahun ini kami dah jumpa mana yang berkenan di hati! Butik pakaian jenama Kacax telah berjaya meng’kacak’kan abang aku untuk tahun ini. Aku cakap dengan abang aku , “kau pakai baju melayu dalam setahun berapa kali je kan? Jadi apa salahnya tahun ni kau pilih kurta pulak. Ada kelainan sedikit dan kurta juga boleh dipakai pada bila-bila masa. Takde la pakai sekali je dalam setahun”. Hahaha. Nampak ke nampak sebenarnya adik dia yang perempuan ni sangat complicated!

Tapi, Kacax telah berjaya buat hati aku gembira sangat tahun ini. Rasa macam tak sabarnya nak beraya! Hahaha. Sebabnya , jenama Kacax ni dah menjadi sebutan abang aku sejak dari tahun lepas. “Kau nak tahu Ain , tadi dekat masjid punya ler ramai orang pakai baju jenama Kacax”. Aku masih ingat itu la yang diungkapkan oleh abang aku pada pagi raya selepas dia bersolat di Masjid Jamek Bandar Baru Uda. Dalam hati aku , wow power betul jenama ni sampai ramai betul yang pakai.

Kata orang , dah jumpa benda best berdosa tau kalau tak kongsi dengan ramai orang! Hahaha. So, aku nak kongsikan dengan korang suasana serta koleksi-koleksi yang terdapat di Butik Kacax ini. Jangan risau , kalau tak sempat ataupun malas nak walk in ke butik , korang boleh je terus berdesup whatsapp sekarang! Ingat! sekarang yer , bukan besok ,lusa ataupun pagi raya! Semua tu dah lambat. Kalau dah habis nanti , jangan salahkan Ain sebab iolls dan bagitahu awal-awal.

Takde special price ke? Penat baca dari mula sampai dah nak habis ni…Bawa bertenang abang-abang kacak  , kakak-kakak yang cun melecun yang tak sabar nak bagi suami dan anak dia hensem tu… Aku bagitahu cara mudah untuk korang dapat special price.

Caranya ialah :

TERSENTUH HATI SELEPAS MELIHAT VIDEO INI , LUAHAN TERBUKA UNTUK ANDA YANG BEKERJA!

TERSENTUH HATI SELEPAS MELIHAT VIDEO INI , LUAHAN TERBUKA UNTUK ANDA YANG BEKERJA!

Pagi ini hari yang memenatkan untuk aku. Semalam seharian aku penuh dengan event pagi sampai ke malam sampaikan aku malas gila nak angkat kepala pagi ini. Sampai semalam aku sendiri tak sedar pukul berapa aku tertidur. Begitu dasyat sekali aku yang kepenatan. Bila kepenatan dah mula menguasai diri , mula lah semuanya jadi MALAS! Semuanya jadi MERIMASKAN dan paling aku tak suka bila datang satu perasaan ini. Perasaan nak GIVE UP dari semua yang aku sedang kerjakan. 

Pagi ini juga aku hampir tarik diri dari melaksanakan beberapa job sebab aku PENAT sangat! Tapi , bila dapat kata-kata semangat dari Sis Lin , "buat lah Ain pelan -pelan ..." Aku terus rasa nak menitik air mata , aku ni memang cepat give up kan. Tapi bila dapat kata-kata semangat dari orang yang percaya aku boleh , terus aku siapkan!.

Hati ini masih lagi berat nak siapkan kerja disebabkan oleh hari ini HARI PEKERJA! Gila apa orang syok-syok bercuti aku dok sibuk depan laptop menyelesaikan kerja-kerja. Gila sangat! Sampailah aku terjumpa satu video ini. Video ini memgubah terus mood aku yang sememangnya kelaut sungguh! Aku rasa aku ni MANUSIA TAK BERSYUKUR! 

Dahla aku ni TAK CACAT , kaki tangan semua cukup tapi LEMAK sangat, bila kerja yang susah-susah terus malas dan rasa cepat give up! Ish , tak boleh jadi ni... Ain kau nak berjaya kan...kau tengok video ni..kau ingat sehari kalau dia give up , dia boleh ke capai apa yang dia ada sekarang? TAK KAN. 

Ini antara petikan dalam video yang benar- benar menyentuh hati ini :

Aku melihat ramai yg malas untuk ubah hidup sendiri  , ramai yg suke bg bermacam alasan bile bekerja, ramai yg cepat giveup bile ade cabaran !! Ramai cube memilih untuk kerja senang , taknak susah , lebih memilih kehidupan susah tanpa usaha dengan kuat , sanggup berhenti kerja dan mengangur bertahun2 atas dasar ego boleh bergerak sendiri dan sanggup melihat keluarga dan org sekeliling susah, Paling terkesan nak bg duit mak dan ayah, family pun tak mampu ... Aku sedih !!! Terdetik keinginan aku untuk bantu mereka ...  Jadi aku bangkit!!! Aku cuba buktikan pada masyarakat the best kehidupan adalah atas dasar bersyukur .. bersyukur dengan nikmat yg allah beri dan jangan sia2 kan , aku bangkit untuk beri manfaat pada org lain . Aku nak satu dunia nampak hanya 3 jari dan satu akal aku dpt melihat kegembiraan , senyuman ramai org2 disekeliling aku ..  Kini aku sedar .. untuk berjaya dlm kehidupan , pekerjaan , mahupun bisnes bukan mudah . Tetapi atas keinginan yg kuat , kasih syg yg hebat , keberanian yg tinggi , suka berlajar dan improve diri , dan juga seorang yg berkomitmen tinggi membawa aku ketahap sekarang .. Dan semua value yg ade dlm diri aku akan aku bawakan kedalam semua team aku dan masyarakat untuk mereka bangkit , bersemangat , dan berjaya !!! Akhir kata ... kalau aku ada 3 jari dan akal mampu membina kehidupan sendiri dan kebahagiaan org sekeliling .. anda ade berapa jari untuk ubah kehidupan?? Usia semakin meningkat, jangan tunggu lagi.. kite je mampu ubah diri kita!! khairulnizamofficial

  

Akhir kata dari aku , "SELAMAT HARI PEKERJA , KEHIDUPAN ADALAH DENGAN ATAS DASAR BERSYUKUR"

DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru Champions for a Positive Change in Communities with its First Ever Soap-Recycling Program

DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru Champions for a Positive Change in Communities with its First Ever Soap-Recycling Program

Johor Bahru, 28 January 2019 – DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru recently collaborated with Diversey and Kechara Soup Kitchen Society Johor Bahru for its inaugural soap-recycling program, Soap for Hope. This soap-recycling program marks a first of its kind to take place within a Hilton hotel in Malaysia.

“It truly is an honor to be the first Hilton hotel in Malaysia to champion a campaign that is part of Hilton’s commitment to repurposing used goods for community needs that helps to give back to society,” said Daniel Alcaraz, General Manager of DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru.

 

Andrew Lam the Director of Operations of DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru ; Daniel Alcaraz the General Manager of DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru and Haizir Mohd Yunos the IT Executive of DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru

This innovative ‘Soap for Hope’ program pioneered by Diversey, is to recycle used soaps which focuses on three core objectives – saving lives by providing access to soap to communities who need soap but have no access; to provide livelihood to the local community through recycling and reprocessing soap to help hotels reduce waste by turning used soap into something useful again.

Alcaraz further commented, “This is a great initiative to not only preserve the environment but also support our local communities in need and together with the help of Diversey and Kechara, we can make a huge difference around us.”

In line with Hilton’s corporate responsibility, Travel with Purpose, this collaboration supports Hilton’s goal to double its investment in social impact and cut environment footprint in half by the year 2030.

 

Attendees participating in the Soap making workshop

“To date, Hilton hotels all over the world are doing their part in soap recycling. Over 437,000 kg of soaps has been recycled in Hilton Asia Pacific alone and that amounts to 3.5 million new soap bars, how amazing is that!” said Alcaraz. “While the concept of soap recycling is still very new in Malaysia, we have already managed to recycle 24,000 kg of soap and that amounts to 191,000 new soap bars.”

To date globally, Hilton hotels across 127 countries have successfully participated in their very own Soap for Hope campaigns to recycle all guests used soap bars, and will continue to take place with all other properties around the world in committing to sending zero soap to landfills by the year 2030.

“By sending zero soaps to landfills we are not only giving back to the community but also saving lives” said Alcaraz. “Many children lose their lives due to poor sanitization and that breaks our hearts. As the leading hospitality company in the world, we intend to do our part in making the world a better place for the communities around us.”

 

Final product from the Soap making workshop

In addition to its soap-recycling program, Hilton leads many sustainability initiatives through Hilton's Travel with Purpose corporate responsibility strategy that helps to impact the world both socially and environmentally. From reducing food waste to cutting water usage in operations by 50% and to giving back to the community by volunteering, creating opportunities for all regardless of race, gender or orientation, Hilton commits itself to a driving a positive social and environmental change.

“From here, we can only be moving upwards. We intend to take this to the next level and with the help of the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH), we will be doing just that,” said Alcaraz. “From hotel to hotel then city to city, slowly we will gather each individual hotel in Johor to recycle their used soaps as a form of giving back to the community.”

PROJECT LOCAL LOVE- TROVE JOHOR BAHRU'S COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL ARTISTS

TROVE Johor Bahru is NOW OPEN!

PROJECT LOCAL LOVE- TROVE JOHOR BAHRU'S COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL ARTISTS

TROVE Johor  Bahru, part of Care Luxury Hotels & Resorts (CLHR), today announced the brand's first-of-its-kind collaboration with 2 local Johor artists. The collaboration, aptly named Project Local Love, features two distinctive artworks that pays homage to the local heritage of arts and crafts in pop art style. Unveiled for the first time on 16th September during the hotel's soft launch, each of the 95 themed Standard Rooms at TROVE features one of 2 murals, further enhancing guests' stay experience. The subject of each piece centers around local music, delicacies and architecture, helping guests discover their destination through the brand's philosophy: Experiences Unconfined.

"We are thrilled to partner with both artists, Mulo and Jaie Ramlee. Each individual work is inspired by the rich heritage of Johor," said Ian Gan, Director Representative for Care Luxury Hotels & Resorts. "The collaborative effort with such celebrated local artists conveys a very unique story in an unexpected way, offering our curious and creative-minded guests a richer experience and a new lens to unlock the local destination."

Samantha Liew, General Manager of TROVE Johor Bahru, added, "We are pleased to partner with all 2 artists to enrich our guets' experience. TROVE is devoted to fostering local connections, adding a layer of culture and artistry to its local heritage. This collaboration also alludes to the fact that, in each destination, there are unlimited opportunities for discovery."

"With its passion for arts and culture, the TROVE brand is an ideal platform to share our inspirations and aspirations for art, bringing them to an audience that appreciates modern aesthetics and the emotions they evoke," said Mulo, from Rumah Ikan Kolektif, an art collective made up of art and visual professionals based in Johor Bahru. "Our work with TROVE embodies our joint appreciation of Johor Bahru and its diverse local culture, as well as the magic that lies behind the discovery of new placesmin greater depth."

Visualizing Music through Mulo's 'Local Echo'

Mulo is Malaysian based, self-taught artist, designer, from Johor Bahru. He has been working for numerous creative agencies over the course of 5 years, before becoming a fulltime freelance artist in 2018. Mulo is known for his manga-inspired illustrations, notably the vivid burst of colours combined with his signature touch of local flair- sometimes you'll get to see nusantara warriors and kapcai bikes appearing in his illustrations.

Inspired by music,robots, sci-fi, anime, manga, Japan, tribes, childlike imagination, subcultures and anomalies, Mulo is also known for designing art and creating imaginative character work for businesses such as AirAsia, ISetan, JB Arts Festival, Kult Magazine and JOHO.

His artwork titled Local Echo raises the question- what is life without music? "The sound of our own heritage should always echo in our minds. Be it classical, folk, or even contemporary, traditional music has always brought joy to our ancestor's ears even since the pre-colonial era" Mulo explains. He also adds that the artwork is a "dedication of love and a show of respect towards classical instruments such as kompang, tabla, gambus, and pifa, with every note forever resonating in our hearts."

Amalgamation of Past and Present through Jaie Ramlee's ' A Glance of Memory'

Jaie Ramlee started her career as an illustrator and designer in her hometown of Batu Pahat, Johor. She captures the essence of anything that interest her by sketching as it translates words and emotion into visuals. "My sketchbook is both my best friend and my tutor" she said, adding that she finds sketching as the best way to generate ideas and improve her skills.

Her mural, dubbed A Glance of Memory, focuses on Johor Bahru, a town founded in 1855 that is rapidly embracing urbanization yet steadfastly holding on to its 19th century roots."The colonial buildings are well maintained even with new and trendy establishments coming up around it" said Jaie.

Her mural depicts a slice of Johor Bahru; a row of shops in a small street. There are road signs to highlight several popular spots in the area, which she says may ignite the desire for others to pay a visit to this charming town. She further explains that the building composition that varies from one to the other captures the hustle and bustle of the city. "It is indeed a busy place that provides you with almost anything; your everyday needs, apparels, sustenance, arts, culture and more - it's a perfect spot for tourists' and explorers alike."

Grand Opening Trove Johor Bahru

TROVE X Community

TROVE Johor Bahru will continue to forge collaborations with local artists and innovators, who are inspired by the dynamic culture, art, and cuisine of the locale. TROVE's future plans include collaborations with mixologists, baristas, celebrity chefs, and artisans from various fields.
