Enrich-ing Experience

Wohoo! I am invited to the MAS Enrich Gold "Kakuteru" Evening at Fukuya KL - that was the first thought that ran into my mind when I received the invitation at my office. Wow, I haven't been to any Enrich events and to be honest, I am just a new Enrich member (still blue card). You have to travel business class and 1st class to obtain a Gold Enrich card and I think I'll never have a chance to be a gold member. However, receiving the invitation is truly an honour. So happened that Fidani is a partner of Enrich and is a sponsor of door gifts for the night. I have been dealing with the Enrich staff for some time now and they have invited my boss and I to attend the event. No doubt my boss is a Gold member and have been to many of these events but for me, this is my first!

See my name there?!!!

KAKUTERU means cocktail in English. Thus it's a cocktail evening at Fukuya or The House of Hapiness when translated. The venue was great however parking is a problem. You know how tight and narrow the roads are at Jalan Delima where all the old bungalows are. They have converted the place into a tourist destination with the Pasar Rakyat, Chocolate Boutiques and restaurants around it. Upon entering, I was greeted by the beautiful ladies in Japanese Kimonos at the door and also 2 ladies in the MAS airline air stewardess uniforms. I was asked to sign the guestbook and to take a lucky number - 087.

Entrance

Seriously I knew no one there. I only know the organisers, whom are my designers for Fidani new range of chocolates and a staff of Enrich. I was still determined to make the best out of my evening there being a total stranger to all these high society events. Making myself comfortable, I had a glass of orange juice. Boy, it was really pure orange juice with no trace of sugar syrup and lots of saps. I took some time to snap pictures of my chocolates served during the cocktail party for maximum exposure at the event.

I made the table standees by myself (cost saving..hehe)

The event finally started at about 8pm although it says 6.30pm! It started with the MC giving a introduction on the event and then inviting the Chairman of MAS, Dato' Dr. Munir Majid to give a speech. After that, they kicked off with some geisha girls dancing, followed by some Harajuku girls.... I didn't really enjoy the dances. The girls are not pretty and I was not aroused at all with their geisha looks.

I was waiting for the food! So when they announced that the dinner is served, boy, I was relieved. I was really hungry since I did not have lunch in the afternoon. It was buffet style dinner and the dishes served was great! I have smoked salmon, sushi, soft shelled crabs, prawn tempura and some green beans. The food is thumbs up! It's really worth my visit. Free booze (Red wine, white wine, beer, sake and spirits) and good food. What more can you ask?!!

The night went on with a good singer belting out some favourite numbers and also models strutting their stuffs. The models are so cute looking and they really looked like mannequins! So handsome and fit! I really wanted to feast my eyes on them but then again it will be rude since I was talking to the chairman, Dato' Dr. Munir himself. I met quite a few of "powderful" people. It's just so embarrassing to give out name cards as everyone there was either a president or vice president of some companies (Petra Group, Measat and bla bla bla.....) and there you have a crazy girl giving out her executive-titled-name cards! However, I did receive some compliments on having such good poise despite being only 23. I didn't expect to have ended the night knowing the chairman and also some great people and chatting till the event is over. I felt honoured and it did propel me to climb the corporate ladder faster so I need not give executive-titled-name cards anymore. Having not win any lucky draw prizes (Grand Prize was ticket for 2 to Tokyo) did not bother me since I was already lucky enough to have the company of the great guests.

Everyone went home with a goodie bag filled with.....

FIDANI Gourmet Chocolates!

I was satisfied with event. My brand has the mileage and I had nice company for the night.
