Woooohoooo National Geographic store finally came to malaysia !! It was a privilege to be invited to the store launch. The store is open by and brought in by the YTL group of companies. Malaysia is the 4th store in the world and 2nd store in asia !! how cool is that? freaking awesome wei. In the store they have in house cafe which is the 2nd in the world and 1st in asia.
Store is located at Lot 10 bukit bintang 3rd floor. The in house cafe is a spanish style cafe, where they serve spanish drinks cocktails and spanish dish like skewers. skewers are basically satay. They have chicken lamb beef fruits anything is on the stick is a skewer xD.
We have a very VIP guest that night joining and able to share with us was Tan Sri Francis Yeoh ! I have to say he is a cool boss ahhahaha he telling us why did he bring national geographic to malaysia and share some of his experience and passion. He is also very passionate about blogging which i was quite surprise and he said that he started blogging 10 years ago around and among his company. So thats why he loved the bloggers that night hahahaha. The idea of bringing national geographic to malaysia was to share the richness of flora and fauna of malaysia to the world. Is a very casual talk between the bloggers, the Tan Sri, and few fellow founders of national geographic people. We were talking so casually as if we are friends and like talking in mamak like that lol !!
Drinking cocktails or beer with the group of people, chit chatting sharing stories it was a one in a life time experience with this great people man. The whole idea is to educate people to let them know about nature and a billionaire like him have the passion to preserve and protecting malaysia mother nature. Store has alot of merchandise from cloths to bags and educational toys.
Then Tan Sri introduce this wonderful item to us from the shop. Is a very amazing product is called National Geographic’s: The Genography Project Kit. Is a kit where you take sample of your saliva put it in a tube they provide and trace back where your ancestors come from through DNA. The Thing will be send to the National Geographic LAB in USA and they will trace our origin or ancestors. This kit is not cheap man, it cost RM888 and whats the best part??
Tan Sri paid for the test kit and bought for all the bloggers that night !!!! and he bought 15 of this thing !!! for all of us which come to a total of….
RM 13k!!! Tan Sri pay like just paying for his regular stuff like so damn casual only 13k just like that !! crazy ler… even for us to pay Rm888 just to buy that 1 thing also need to think twice or trice or many times !!! Billionaire is billionaire 13k is like nothing to him ahahhaah but he is a very generous guy i ever seen xD all i can say he is a cool guy ahhahahha….
Fellow bloggers for the night and with the VIPS !!
