Another week, another whirlwind of totally EXTRA events! We were here, there and everywhere!
We were on the scene and vibing like a boss! Just check out our social diary for this past week (don't be jelly!):
Manchester United Roar With Tiger Beer @ The Trafford Den
Kuala Lumpur transcended its status as a city for a week as it developed into a meeting place for aspirations and a living monument to ardour, pride, and steadfast devotion. The Trafford Den, a daring reimagining of what it means to be a Manchester United supporter in Malaysia, was made possible by Tiger Beer, the team's Official Beer Partner.
The Trafford Den, located in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, was more than just a pop-up bar; it was the realisation of the Theatre of Dreams. It is a statement that Manchester United and its devoted supporters in Malaysia are not constrained by distance.
Fans – Hype included – began flooding the venue on 24th May, taking in the sights and sounds of Old Trafford as it was brought to life in the centre of Kuala Lumpur. Stories filled the walls, jerseys were clad like armour, and cold Tiger Beer was poured in honour of something greater than a game: belief, identity, and belonging. Fans unleashed their tiger during this moment, and the spirit of audacity and passion was echoed in every cheer, roar, and shared Tiger Beer sip. Here's what went down at the event.

Mattel 80th Anniversary 'All Play All Day' At Pavilion Bukit Jalil
What happens when Barbie dolls, Hot Wheels, Thomas the Tank Engine, and more get together in Bukit Jalil? Well, just this Thursday, 29th May, was one such day as Mattel celebrated a vibrant, toy-filled adventure for the whole family. In honour of its 80th anniversary, Mattel transformed Pavilion Bukit Jalil into an immersive playground for All Play All Day — a school holiday event packed with interactive zones, nostalgic experiences, and exciting rewards that delighted both kids and adults alike.
We were invited to explore the action, and each themed zone had something special to offer. From striking poses at Barbie's 360° photo booth and chilling in her pink bubble pool, to racing Hot Wheels through fiery loops and hopping aboard a life-sized Thomas train, the experience was nonstop fun. Families also enjoyed classic games in jumbo size and joined weekend competitions for a chance to win Mattel goodies. With free admission until 8th June, All Play All Day is worth checking out if you're looking for a fun day out with the family. You may even get a sneak peek at some goodies while you're there.

Zizan Razak Named G-SHOCK's First Malaysian Ambassador
Zizan Razak made history recently as G-SHOCK's first Malaysian brand ambassador, and we were on hand to witness him taking the crown. Known for his comedy wins in Maharaja Lawak and blockbusters like Polis Evo, plus his recent debut in the PETRONAS Grand Prix, Zizan perfectly matches G-SHOCK's 'Never Give Up' spirit.
This collab kicks off with the legendary 6900 series watch, famous for its toughness since 1995. Zizan joins other regional stars like kickboxer Superbon and footballer Rizky Ridho, bringing fresh local energy to G-SHOCK's mix of fashion, art, music, and sports.

Kimpton
Naluria Kuala Lumpur Preview
The Exchange TRX is already a fun place to be, but did you know that there will soon be a brand new hotel located right next to it? We got the chance to catch a glimpse of the upcoming Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur at Aurum Theatre, where fun interview sessions were held for candidates who are looking for a fresh start in the hotel industry.
Although the mockup exhibits of the hotel will be nothing compared to the real deal, it did offer us a sneak peek of what to expect when it opens later this year.
