Martell VSOP Rising Personality of 2008
So, I spent the night with some friends (left work early, will suffer tomorrow - or rather, today) at the Martell Personality of the Year event held at KLpac.
Elaine, who was also there as JP’s guest (and one of four celebrity models for the auction segment), texted me earlier and said that the organisers had “raped” Pentas 1. It was quite a funny statement, but basically they covered all the seats with fabric (and projected their logo on them), and then the tables were set up where the stage usually is. It was rather interesting to be honest.
But it wasn’t the location that was the focus of the night - it was the 10 personalities of course. I was quite excited when I found out, when I got there that is, that a few of my friends were in the top 10 list including Bernard Chauly, Jaclyn Victor and of course, JP who invited me as one of his guests.
Anyway, to cut the long story short, none of my friend won the grand prize - violinist Joanne Yeoh took home the RM30,000 and trip for two to France.
But JP and Jac both were named second and first runners-up respectively, so am very happy for them! They each won a HUGE bottle of Martell (not sure if they get anything else, but all 10 nominees get like a trophy, a limited edition bottle of Martell as well as 10 bottles of the drink at some clubs or something). Not a bad deal at all.
So anyways, here is JP after he was named second runner up.
Congrats buddy, and to you too Jac!
