CEO.V Sunglasses 2 and Active 3 Collection

 Eyewear brand CEO Vision (CEO.V in short) continues its stronghold on high-octane functionality in perfect form. And it continues to make its mark as the eyewear brand that celebrates practicality above all else, with a healthy respect for aesthetics. After bagging gold at the Design for Asia Awards in the Apparel + Accessory category, it returns with a vengeance with its latest collections.

‘Sunglasses 2’ is a fashion statement from the word go. Paying homage to nostalgia in vintage oversized frames, sleek mirror lenses or polarized lenses signals its serious stylistic intentions. From cool gunmetal to a striking red, sleek jet or tortoiseshell chic, these shades scream au courant while retaining the CEO.V hallmarks – a patented system of retractable sleeves made from anti-allergic silicone.

 Of course, each pair of CEO.V eyewear comes complete with an ultra slim storage case that fits your

body contour, a feature highly lauded by fans for its revolutionary design. 

 An extension of its highly successful ‘Active 2’ collection, the latest offering of ‘Active 3’ trades up with the in-trend acetate frames in a range of 5 models in 3 to 4 colors. Hard-hitting on the fashion front, it nevertheless remains familiar with the Double Extension Secure Loop (DESL) that lets you switch from sport-friendly eyewear back to optical frame easily, making this the choice of athletic professionals everywhere.

CEO.V Active 3 CV 619 - RM350

 CEO.V Active 3 Model CV 620 - RM350

 

I like the vibrant colour frame and the design looks quite stylo... so I picked this up!

The Sky, One City Mall - the biggest rooftop dining experience in Malaysia

I started seeing this kinda of pictures in July last year where a lot of my friends was posting their feet on transparent glass floor... looks kinda cool & scary at the same time! Later I found out this place is The Sky at One City Mall, in USJ. 

Oh well I finally managed to check it out recently and took a picture of my own (#followtrendlah) :P

NOTE : Please do not wear skirts or dress when you want to come to this The Sky at One City to take picture cos it's transparent glass and you are "free viewing"to the shopper below..

  

The Sky at One City is established on the 10th floor (rooftop) of the 16-level mall, inevitably an urban dining oasis in the Subang vicinity. This is the biggest rooftop food and beverage area in Malaysia, offering international cuisine that includes Thai, Korean and western delights, not forgetting a sports bar with darts game, pool table facilities and a chill-out lounge with live band, a new remarkable place for dining, chill-out, events, music and gathering.

What I really like about this place is each restaurant has their own outdoor sky dining area and that totally fits the name of the place! 

The Sky at One City had their official opening last week. 

At a star studded gala night, more than 1000 guests were treated to a spectacular showcase by a great line-up of artists that included Henley Hii, Baki Zainal, Dina Nadzir, Shawn Lee and international illusionist, Zlwin Chew.

Besides the night’s performances, guests were also entertained by various games and activities at the grand opening. All invited guests for the happening night were able to win prizes totaling RM16, 000 from the lucky draw, as well as use Facebook posts to ‘buy’ themselves some exclusive merchandise from The Sky’s “Facebook Shop”, in an innovative new social media concept. In high spirits, guests continued to party at The Sky till the wee hours of the morning.

The highlight of the night was food tasting from The Sky’s six restaurants. And here I will introduced each restaurants in The Sky at One City and their signature dishes.

Master Room serves unique fusion dishes. It's a family-oriented restaurant and sports bar wants to cater to all walks of life.

Petite Nasi Lemak (RM9) is a mini version of the local favourite, creatively served in baskets of pai tee. Each serving of the bite-sized morsels comes complete with anchovies, peanuts, sambal, egg and cucumber, while the pai tee’s crunchy texture is similar to keropok.

Reminds me of the proverb kecil kecil cili padi which means although it's small but really spicy!

So cute that I decided to take selfie it!

Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream 

It was so delicious that I finished every single bite. *enough said*

The tomyam is not only aromatic and savoury but also spicy... hence not for someone who has faint heart!

 Prawn and Fish Cake Combo. It was homemade and the ingredients that they used are really fresh. I can taste the sweetness of fish & prawn and the chilly dip sauce complement this very well.

This is a memorable evening at The Sky, One City Mall as I managed to visit & taste some of the food from the 6 restaurants. I am planning to go back for Khrua Thai Restaurant for Thai dinner and then going to chill out at The Voice to enjoy the music performance & panoramic view of the night skyline.
