Hi everyone! It's almost the end of the year and we'd like to firstly say THANK YOU for participating at our events.  JAN 2010: Many things have happened this year. We kickstarted with the Malaysia Airlines MAS TOUCHDOWN event in January at Skypark, remember? How cool was that? With Pesawat, Liyana Fizi, Najwa, Ady Suwardy and many more fine acts, we invited Anuar Faiq to host the show and it was a roaring success! Even the Bijou Bazaar vendors participated to add to the activities. All in all, air tickets were auctioned off and the event raised $$ for charity. Thanks, MAS.
