Memory Lane: Cleo's Bachelor Bash @ Zouk, KL

Photo from Moe Nasrul's Personal Collection

If i could relive one night it would be the Cleo's Bachelor Bash that happened Last week on Friday the 24th of April. Had a blast being back stage and hanging with the other bachelors and all of us teasing Henry Golding (bachelor number 49) and Jin (Bachelor number 2) about their little Chippendale type dance... complete with boy ties.

Although i didn't win i didn't really care, it was never about winning for me. It was all for the sake of fun...and for all you women out there :D

And the Malaysia Cleo's Most Eligible Bachelor 2009 Goes to....

Bachelor No. 49 Henry Golding.

No surprises there.

Gratz!

P/S: More photos and post on the event soon. Meanwhile, listen to me on FLY FM. On weekends, I'm on air from 9am to 12noon (sat) and 4pm to 7pm (Sun).

Yes, I'm one hard working bloke :)

The HEAT is ON!!!!

A comment from AntSu.

I don't usually get speechless. But the email and comment from readers and just generally people around me, the support that they have thrown, still overwhelms me to this very day.

I still do not know how to react.

To know that there are people out there who thinks you got the goods--that you deserve a spot in the industry.

And made the effort to collect votes for you.

Wow. Grateful. Thankful.

*Hugs*

Sneak Peek: Cleo Bachelor 2009 Speed Date

Bachelors briefing. More photos up soon.

You know, never have i been in this situation before. Too much testosterone in such a confined space.

Could i be suffering from testosterone-agoraphobia? Lol.

Although the speed dating event were scheduled at 2:30pm, bachelors were asked to arrive by 10am at Island Bistro, Pavilion KL, for briefing and ice breaking sessions. It was our first time meeting each other after the March photo shoot.

It was quite tense at first, because we were all strangers to one another. But after a few rounds of drinks, we lightened up and were good bros. I'm not in the competition to win (well, of course i do harbor a flicker of hope), but making contacts were my utmost priority.

My Fly FM colleague, Jules hosted the event. It was an exhilarating feeling for me. Cleo readers were given two minutes to get to know the bachelors, basically they were given a number of questions about the bachelors and they would have to find out all in two minutes. Then, after the speed date ended, we chilled with the readers.

At the end of the day, I've made so many friends--bachelors and readers alike.

Kudos to Cleo team for pulling off this successful event. I must say, taking care of 50 bachelors and Cleo readers is not an easy feat.

I enjoyed myself tremendously, and i bet it showed :)

Bachelor Q&A

Hey... Emily just pointed out to me that the Q&A in the Cleo website is different from the one printed in the magazine itself.

Read on and judge me, people...
From the magazine....

From the website.

Hey guys,

Got an email from Ain, the editorial assistant for Cleo. She has just informed all us Bachelors through email that the Cleo Bachelors 2009 website is ready.

You guys should really check it out. You get to leave comments about what you think about us or you can post any questions you like for your favourite bachelor there too. And by the way, thanks Khatijah! You made my day :)

You'll get to save RM1 from phone SMS and cast your votes for Cleo Bachelors Subsidiary title. I think the nearest that i have a shot for is "Bachelor with a Wicked Way With Words". I hate to admit this but i have a feeling female readers are rooting for Henry Golding to win the "The Tastiest-Looking Bachelor", if not the Most Eligible Bachelor. Seriously, no one, not even me, holds a candle against him.

I'm Officially One of the Most Eligible Bachelor in Town

This was the message i got in my Facebook that made my heart palpitates.

Ecahz Mieqa and Moe Nasrul's Wall-to-Wall on Facebook.

It was then that i called up Basil (Fly FM DJ who were also selected for the competition) and told him that the new issue of Cleo is out.

He hasn't seen it yet.

I didn't want to jump my guns before i see the magazine. I smsed Aileen, Cleo's sub-editor, and she was playing coy and teasing me.

"I'm not telling...", she said. "Go and get the magazine. It's been out for three days".

I put my pants on and went on foot to the nearest seven-eleven.

YES! I saw Cleo with Britney Spears on the cover. I picked it up and was crestfallen. It's the MARCH issue. I need Miss April.

"Bro, is the new issue of Cleo out?", I asked the cashier with a tinge of desperation in my voice, willing the cashier to say yes.

"No not yet. slalu dalam tengah bulan baru ada".

What? I can't wait that long. I need to confirm it now!

I then went to Newsplus at the nearest LRT. While driving, i got an sms from Aileen that said "By the way, you look good in it :)".

I was already on the edge of my seat by the time i finished reading the sms.

Ran,ran,ran i went to the Newsplus store...

...and there it was...

Special thanks to the Cleo team, especially to Aileen for constantly entertaining my annoying smses (am I in the top 50, Aileen?) and remained tight-lipped about it to keep me in suspense. And a HUGE HUGE HUGE Thank you to Ecahz for prompting me about it on Facebook.
