Influence Asia 2015, Asia’s largest social media awards show that took place on 7 Dec 2015.

Really honored and thankful to be a part of this huge event that brought together some 36 top influencers from 5 countries, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.

After a series of rigorous selection process, the top influencers from the countries were first selected by a judging panel before being invited to the show. I was blessed to be selected alongside fellow nominees, Daniel Food Diary, Seth Lui and Rubbish Eat Rubbish Grow (represented by Brandon) for the FOOD (Singapore category).

This is us at the red carpet event. :)

The star studded event that saw performances and appearances from Tiffany from Girls Generation, Jay Park, RedFoo (LMFAO), Elite Daily, A Plus, Utt, Peter Chao, Raisa, Joe Flizzow, SonaOne, Dandee, Shigga Shay, Gareth Fernandez and little Yebin took place at Suntec City Convention Centre Level 6.

I was also incredibly blessed with the support from hair salon COVO in making my hair beautiful for the event.

This was my pre hair set up look.

In the hotel room with my furisode kimono on the bed.

Lets take a look at my hair from the back too.

Its time to get started on my hair set up!

The service from COVO Hair salon was amazing, with no discomfort and everything was completed well within time for me to get ready for Influence Asia’s red carpet. Thank you!!

Stylist Megumi was really such a sweetie and she totally captured my style in this low braided bun.

The set hairdo not only matched my furisode kimono so well, it also lasted and stayed secured for the whole day for more than 12 hours until I got back to the hotel from the Influence Asia event.

Hair salon COVO is known for their experienced Japanese stylists who come with Tokyo’s top class techniques, skills and that Japanese omotenashi service. This is also why I knew I would be in good hands.

Conveniently located at Keong Saik Road (at Chinatown/Tanjong Pagar area), they will also soon be opening another branch at Katong to serve customers in the eastern part of the Island.

On top of the surprise of being part of Influence Asia 2015, I was even more shocked and surprised that I was voted as the Influencer of the Year (FOOD – Singapore) Award.

I can’t express enough thanks through words, but thank you!

I was so ill prepared for my speech, since I didn’t prepare anything (didnt expect to be on stage). So I have to thank my dearest husband for his constant patience and support. Here is a very rare photo of my husband and myself ;)

I would also like to express my gratitude to Influence Asia team, Yello Digital Marketing and GushCloud for putting together this amazing event.

We were well taken care of, from the red carpet arrangements, hotel stay at Pan Pacific as well as the security and transportation for the show and nominees.

It was really lovely to be staying at Pan Pacific Hotel and their lovely spacious room with equally awesome view of the Marina waterfront area.
