The EPL Master was held over the weekend. I felt so cheated when I realised there was no Kanchelskis despite the organisers advertising that he would be around for this tournament! But my frown didn't last long.. Manchester United fans from back in the day, eat your hearts out!! I got a picture with ANDREW COLE (formerly known as Andy Cole)!! It was a treat to watch him play again. Come on, he's still good enough to play in the current MU team. :)

This tournament had returning Champions Liverpool, Manchester United, EPL All Stars Masters and Sheffield United under one roof. It was wonderful to watch these football greats who played in different eras & seasons to just come together for the game and the fans.

EPL All Stars Masters

Ian Walker, Lee Martin, Ray Parlour, Russell Beardsmore, Ugo Ehiogu, Richard Sneekes, Craig Hignett (In no particular order)

Sheffield United

Sasa Illic, Paul Wood, Carl Bradshaw, Mark Todd, George Santos, Tony Agana, Alan Wright, Brian Deane, Tommy Mooney (In no particular order)

FatiN for Manchester United! LOL!

Though it was difficult to ignore the fact that a lot of the players are old and some may be slightly out of shape, not forgetting the ones with large bellies. Lol! But there are still some that have managed to keep themselves in really good shape. I noticed these are the younger players that may have just retired in the past few years like Ronnie Johnsen & Jasper Blomqvist. Actually Paul Parker looked rather good considering the fact that I started watching him play during the 91-92 season (Wow that's a while back.. This is making me feel old..).

Moving along to the tournament, it was a five a side match with 8 minutes in each half. Even after 16 minutes, a lot of the players were already panting. Taking into account their age & fitness level, they still had it in them.

Final Score

The final score was 3-3. No extra time for this tournament. Penalties! Hate it! But this time United came through!

Winning penalty by Andrew Cole! Woohoo!!

Come On You Reds!

The EPL All Stars won against Sheffield United. SU are after all the new boys in the tournament. It seems that they havn't been playing long enough as a team. Lets see what happens next year.

I'm coming back next year! No doubt about it!

I'm hoping they bring in other greats next year. My current wish list includes Peter Schmeichel, Eric Cantona & Kanchelskis. *Drool..* It was a great tournament!

MIFA (Malaysian International Fashion Alliance) hosted its 7th instalment of the Malaysia International Fashion Week 2009 (M-IFW 09) at Pavilion between 4-8 November. On the final day I attended a BDA (Bumiputra Designers Association) Fashion Show. It was a glitzy star-studded event. I caught sight of the likes of Camelia, Syafinaz, Noryn Aziz, Nora Danish, Anita Sarawak, Amber Chia, Chef Wan (No he wasn't modelling) to name a few.  

Headlining the show were Tom Abang Saufi, Radzuan Radziwill, Kapas Couture, Syaiful Baharim, Embun, as well as talented young designers, Nik Erwan Roseli, Amir Luqman, Hatta Dolmatt, Azura Couture, Hazree Wahid, Faizell Azraf, Khairi Sufi, Nazreen Idris and Zery Zamry.

Habib Jewels provided the gorgeous blings for the night from its ‘Architechural Collection’.

The collections showcased by the talented up and coming young designers gives the local fashion industry a boost with their vibrant, fresh ideas and sometimes garish outfits. Though looking at the amount of celebrities used by the designers to model their collection it would have been best themed, 'Battle of the Celebrity Muses'.

There were performances by Syafinaz, Noryn Aziz belting out an incredible jazzy number and Hattan. Syafinaz did a soprano piece which sealed her title as Malaysia's Super Soprano. It was the first time I heard Noryn Aziz sing, wonderful jazz voice. Hattan performed his classic ‘Sekuntum Mawar Merah’ which still sounds great.

Enough of my ramblings, it’s a fashion show, so here are some pictures I managed to take after sinfully indulging in some hors d 'œuvre.

Oh look there’s me! Sexy yet classy dress courtesy of a kind-hearted friend. ;p

Anita Sarawak livened up the atmosphere with her presence. It was one of the more exciting walks of the night.

Nik Erwan’s songket affair with vibrant colours was accompanied by a performance from The Fabulous Catz.

Hazwani Osman had a dress that I thought was rather beautiful. Captivated by it I didn't manage to get a picture of the front view. The side will have to do.

Kapas couture had a black & white theme to its collection. Its also included a special celebrity model.

Khairi Sufi is a signature name that depicts glamour, elegance and sophistication.

I rather fancied Zery Zamry's bridal themed collection. The floral headgear doned by the models were too pretty to ignore.

After the evening ended I went around taking more pictures. I wasn't the only one fussing about mind you, so were a whole lot of people. Cam whoring! Never thought I'd use the phrase. Lol!

With Azura

In total I took about 380 pictures. Thats a record for me at a single event. Of course it's not all of me, that would be beyond being self-obsessed, self-absorbed and everything else. I might put up more pics when I have the time.

I personally feel that this year's BDA Fashion Show was more exciting as compared to last year's. Not to mention I was greedily yet happily munching away the earlier part of the evening. Yummy!
