Evening Edition

Tonight we have a lady who’s fashion illustration has carried her to work with Chanel, ELLE Magazine and many other fashion centric labels, her name is Celine Wong but when the ink goes on the paper, she goes by the name, Lihua!

Lihua is a 25 year old fine art illustrator. She primarily does work focusing on the world of fashion. She was born and raised in Kedah before moving to KL to study and eventually becoming a lecturer at The One Academy.

Her signature calligraphy based style started off when she was talking calligraphy lessons from the tender age of six till she was 16. She soon developed her own interest and started applying the technique she learnt to create that defining style she has.

Recently she ended her job as a lecturer as she wanted to further her studies in the UK later this year. Her work has brought her all over the world, she went to Singapore, Thailand, bits of Europe, the UK and also USA for commercial and private clients. During KL Fashion 2015 week (arguably its biggest event), the ESMOD Show gathered 200 new apparels by student designers from 15 countries including Paris. Lihua was called to adorn the runway walls with one-storey high prints of her illustration.

For the record, Lihua scored 11!

So another Malaysia Day has gone by. Looking at the papers though, you'd never know it. Mafia style murders, red shirts and Petaling Street have pretty much dominated the headlines. There's no doubt that news agencies thrive on it. It's all about readership and big numbers. The sensationalist stories. But we're trying to go beyond that today, move away from news-led conversations and talk about what Malaysians should focus on? Our lines will be open.

Tonight in the studio with us, he is one the premiere faces of Malaysia’s new wave of talented street artists, you can see his work and his signature ‘Chaigo’ all over KL, it’s none other than Kenji Chai!

Kenji Chai also known as Black Fryday was born and raised in Sandakan, Sabah. When he was a kid, he was surrounded by comics, cartoons and storybooks. From his vivid imagination, he constructed himself a distinctive art style of cute characters, pop culture, fictional censorship and a positive mental attitude wrapped up in a ball of mischief.

It all started of during school when Kenji kept entering for school art competitions to satisfy his hunger to create art. He followed his passion as he did a course in graphic design which led him to become a graphic designer. But after a while, he felt a disconnection within his art. By 2008, he was introduced into the world of graffiti art, he was hooked instantly, quit his day job and never looked back.

Since then he has created art for countless of cafes, companies, festivals and privateers. He has done work for Urbanscapes, L’Oreal, CIMB, Pestle & Mortar and Royal Selangor (for a Star Wars tie-in!) to name a few. One of his biggest solo work was with Nando’s where he repainted the wall of a 3-storey Nando’s outlet in KL, a canvas size of 2100 square feet. It took him 4 days to finish and 90 spray cans in total!

For the record, Kenji scored 13!

Tonight we have another young comedian with us again. She took the big brave dive into the world of stand-up comedy in 2012 and emerged with her head held high with performances dotted all over the world, her name is Luwita Hana Randhawa!

Luwita is an all rounder with being a writer, a photographer and when the stage calls for her, a stand-up comedian she becomes. She was born in KL, raised in South Africa and Brazil. She came back in 2012 after studying in Wellington, New Zealand for her theater and film studies.

In the same year of her return, she joined the open mic scene of Malaysian stand-up comedy. Her first show was Comedy Kao-kao in 2012 with our last week guest, Thenesh! By September 2012, she won the Best Female Newcomer Award at KLPAC’s Short+Sweet Malaysia Stand Up Comedy Festival.

For 2013, she decided to bring it up a notch by making it a point to perform wherever she travelled. She criss-crossed through Australia, Cambodia, Hong Kong and Singapore throughout the year. When 2014 rolled by, she got her own solo show, Nothing To Be Done at the New Zealand Fringe Fest.

By 2015, Luwita is now a regular opening act for many international headliners at the Crackhouse Comedy Club and just last weekend, she was up with Thenesh Skip and Gajen Nad for Minority Retort. Both night shows were sold out!

Tonight we had the eclectic KL-based synthpop duo, Pastel Lite! Consisting of Eff Hakim and Mohd Faliq, these two been making waves since getting in the music scene in 2012. After a ton of tours and big stage appearances, we catch up on how these two been doing.

Eff is a 23 year old from Sabah while Faliq’s 26 and his hometown is in Johor. The story goes that these two met on Facebook after quitting their previous bands. Eff always wanted to do the singer-songwriter role but was told she didn’t had the set of skills for it. A mutual friend introduced her to Faliq; one jamming session later, Pastel Lite was born.

Though having not met each other before; both Eff and Faliq studied at the same audio engineering course at OCEAN Audio School in Damansara. Eff came from a hardcore background (thanks to her metal friends) while Faliq loves rock. Pastel Lite is a huge departure from their usual style.

Pastel Lite was initially a temporary name after their first track, Heart Drum. But after a few songs were completed, the duo realised it was irrelevant for them to change. Pastel Lite have performed for Urbanscapes every year, Goodvibes as well; and by January 2015 they released their first EP titled Etcetera.

It wasn’t long before they were called up to perform for Laneway Festival 2015 in Singapore. Having toured Sarawak in May, they’re heading off to Chongqing, China for a three day tour there.

For the record, Pastel Lite scored 16!
