When I was approached by a good friend of mine about the upcoming Love & Money exhibition, it came to me as a personal discovery that upon knowing what love can do, people can’t actually talk about love. It’s intangible, untouchable and most of all unpredictable. But this thing called love can also be felt, shared and disengaged altogether. It has the power to pull two strangers into the pool of romance or make the inseparable separable and the unbreakable breakable.
Girls, young and mature alike, fall in and out of love for the same person over and over again but can never resist themselves from thinking about the past – how foolishness got them into trouble when all they wanted was to leave a message under this cute boy’s desk but had always got into the hands of their teacher.
What is more embarrassing than to know that your so-called best friend betrayed your friendship to be with the guy you liked so much? Such adventures of the damsel in distress, no matter what, get washed away down the drain as time goes by because when you think back, you already got the man of your life by your side.
But there’s another love that’s infinite and can only be admired from a distance. This love is passion for the arts. This time, British Council Malaysia is giving local designers the freedom to express their love for art and design.

Pecha Kucha Night will be the highlight of Love & Money exhibition as and local designers gather for the first time in KL for a public forum to tell the other side of their story – how they have managed to strike a balance between their love for design and making a living out of it.

Special Guests: Kenny Wong and Molly the Painter
Kenny Wong is coming to town! But he is not alone as his little girl is tagging along for a summer holiday to Malaysia. Kenny and his little girl Molly will be making an appearance at the press conference at Avenue K on June 6 2007 to launch Summer Wonder 2007. Summer Wonder 2007 is organised by Kenny’s Malaysian partner Roots Studio and centres on Molly’s new mobile game (by Macera Technology) alongside two other agendas that are as important such as Molly mini figures and T-shirt collections.
This Girl, Molly
Molly likes to paint! She is a petite girl who wears a painter’s hat of lake blue colour. She also wears a pair of mini-sized red leather boots with straps.
She is a cutey, with her shining eyes seem to be able to see through other people’s intentions, in addition to her sweet smile and soft blonde hair. However, there is something Kenny neglected. Molly loves to watch him draw pictures; she can sit by the side and keep watching him for the whole day. Thus, Kenny usually gives her a pile of toys to play with but Molly will still continue to watch him draw quietly, with her lips pouting. One day while Kenny was drawing, he carelessly spat some paint on Molly’s tiny skirt. She looked at the paint on her skirt with exceptional joy. This time, Kenny understood finally.
The night on the same day Kenny did not sleep at all. He spent the whole night making some small painter’s paraphernalia for Molly. Before dawn, Kenny put it beside Molly and then went to sleep with a smile. Kenny could not remember how long he had slept but he woke up to the scene in front of him that attracted him deeply. Kenny saw little Molly using the painter’s paraphernalia which he made to draw pictures. Although this scene was expected, Kenny saw the concentration of Molly drawing pictures, and her works spread all over the floor reflected Molly’s passion towards every picture she drew. Molly used her face to create different images like angel, mermaid, princess, chef, and etc. Just like that, Molly’s world is full of hustle and bustle.
Molly the Painter is the foremost work of Kenny Wong since he established Kennyswork.

An old friend of mine came to Zouk to see how much I've changed. Apart from the shocking short mane I've been spotting with these days, I find a physical change in him instead. He was thin before like he never had one proper meal daily. Because he works in the perfume industry, it's all my guess that the fragrances have been keeping his appetite way out of balance. I'm starting to believe that going to the gym three days a week really helps to tighten the body muscles and reduce calories, but what happens when you stop being at it is what you get back in double. Kinda scary but financially tempting to try.
Fitness centres are gaining much popularity due to the constant celebrity endorsements and word-of-mouth ads. Even at my own space at home, I can hear my eldest brother lamenting over his inconsistency at the gym. Well, back to the topic, I'm glad to meet my old friend again and hope that he's having a wonderful time with his dearest at the gym. (Oh ya, I heard that gym's a good place to have a go at romance too!)
My boyfriend and I had opportunity to showcase our artwork and products in line with our tag "Your mind is Your First Enemy". Booth sale was brisk, however, the company of Gilamon, Homicydal, Lestat, 84Cube, and PhobiaKlik at the scene made it worthwhile having a ball together that night!
