Happy 30th Anniversary, AsterSpring!

For the past three decades, AsterSpring has been caring for your skin’s health through pampering and rejuvenating beauty rituals enjoyed in sensuous and luxurious surroundings. Having touched more than 10 million faces with thousands of professional hands, this trusted brand has grown from strength to strength. Congratulations to AsterSpring in celebrating its 30th anniversary this year as an icon of beauty and well-being! 

Designed to be a sanctuary of health, AsterSpring, formerly known as Leonard Drake, made its debut at Imbi Plaza, Kuala Lumpur in 1984 to cater to a growing market of professional women. Driven by a passion to deliver exceptional service through an assortment of treatment options, Leonard Drake set up its first flagship store in Bangsar Shopping Centre, Kuala Lumpur in 1992. In 1998, it expanded to Penang, followed closely by Johor before evolving into skin health management expert, AsterSpring. During that time, AsterSpring grew across national borders to Singapore in 1994, and Hong Kong and Thailand in 2001. By 2004, its mother company, Esthetics International Group (EIG) was listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. Year 2012 marked the launch of AsterSpring Signature Centre in KLCC, Kuala Lumpur and a year later, the beauty chain continued its expansion plans to Melaka and Alor Star.

Today, 30 years later, AsterSpring enjoys a presence in more than 70 centres across four countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand. Believing that nothing but the best will do for its customers, AsterSpring uses Dermalogica, the number one professional skin care brand worldwide to improve skin’s well-being. A personalised consultation by trained therapists is employed to determine the skin type and concern of every new customer to AsterSpring. Treatments are then specially customised to treat and meet the needs of each individual. Backed by 30 years of experience, state-of-the-art equipment and breakthrough technology, AsterSpring has created 246 specialised treatment options to deliver optimum skin results to any and every skin type and concern.

Every AsterSpring therapist is meticulously trained to master techniques that deliver precise treatments with detailed attention, to provide an experience that goes beyond beauty. Each therapist learns to develop skilled hands that deliver results while enhancing customer satisfaction under the guidance of experienced senior therapists. All AsterSpring staff are fully dedicated to their customers and seek to surpass customers’ expectations by giving thought to even the tiniest detail when engaging with their customers. So much so that many customers have turned into firm friends with their therapists whom they trust with their face knowing that these expert hands can bring healing and transformation to their skin, resulting in satisfied smiles and happy faces every time.

We’re definitely looking forward to another 30 years with AsterSpring and more innovative products and therapies from the brand such as the AsterSpring V-Lift Facial Therapy. The AsterSpring V-Lift Facial Therapy which is a non-surgical way to lift, tighten and tone skin aims to tackle sagging skin caused by the natural ageing process, hormonal trigger and bio-chemical reactions. Using patented Ionto-Sono® technology from Germany to accelerate collagen production, the therapy strengthens weak connective tissue to lift and firm skin from ‘U’ to ‘V’ in just three sessions. Within the next three years, AsterSpring aims to add another feather to its cap with a breakthrough expansion of 30 more beauty centres regionally bringing the total to 100 beauty centres around Malaysia. As the staff and management team continue to strive for perfection and aim for higher standards of excellence and quality, they are ready to go above and beyond to meet customer’s expectations and stay ahead of the competition. 

Celebrate AsterSpring’s 30th anniversary and enjoy an exclusive AsterSpring membership and a special welcome gift with a minimum spend of only RM500 on any promotional package including service treatments and products.

Maybank GO Ahead. Challenge Grand Launch

Maybank GO Ahead. Challenge (MGAC) is back again this year with its third season that promises you the ultimate adrenaline rush, bigger, bolder and better across 14 countries!

In case you don't know, MGAC is an exciting international business case competition that offers the brightest young minds from Malaysian, ASEAN and across the globe the opportunity to exhibit their potential. If you're thinking that this competition is all about presentation and discussion of business strategy, then you're wrong. MGAC is specially designed and organized by Maybank where participants will be put to test in various discipline and multi-national initiative besides giving them a money-can't-buy-world-class experience that only comes once in a lifetime. It's like The Apprentice, The Amazing Race, Fear Factor and Masterchef all in one! I kid you not, they are even required to cook a meal for the unfortunate. Being intelligent is not enough, you have got to be physically and mentally fit for this challenge as well. 

I had the opportunity to attend the grand launch of MGAC at GSC, Pavilion last week and it's definitely an eye opener for me. I've never heard of this challenge before although it has been an on-going annual event since 2012. I felt that MGAC is indeed a great opportunity and platform for those who study in the business industry to pursue their dreams and work their way to success.  

Wondering what awaits them at the end of the challenge? Participants worldwide will compete individually and in teams for the chance to make it to the international grand finals and win a total cash prizes of USD 72,000. Yes, I repeat USD 72,000! The ultimate GO Ahead. Challenger will be awarded with a cash prize of USD 1,000 and a two-week internship experience in New York. The best has yet to come...both the Champion Team and the Ultimate GO Ahead. Challenger will win exclusive participation in Maybank's Global Leadership Development Programme with the Bank's most influential top 50 leaders. 

At the press conference, Puan Nora Abdul Manaf, the Group Chief Human Capital Officer, Maybank announced that MGAC have received closed to 7,500 applicants this year, with an increase of 50% as compared to last year. That is definitely a huge amount. It has also expand its horizon in attracting participants all the way from Algeria, Russia, Spain, Kazakhstan, Maldives and even Italy.

We were then brought into the hall for a video presentation and speech by Puan Nora.

This is just a snippet of the video that was showcased the other day; we get to watched what the participants from previous seasons underwent and some of the unforgettable experiences of the former Go Ahead challengers. It was way more intense and challenging! They even had a night where their laptops were attacked by virus that deleted all of their files and they had to redo the whole presentation from scratch. Their advice? There is no need to prepare yourself cause there will be no enough preparation one can have for this challenge. Just embrace whatever challenge that is thrown to you and be ready to be pushed to your limit. At the end of the day, sleep is not an option yet it will be worth it.

Puan Nora who spoke during the launch said she is looking forward to see more young talents as a challenger and a future Maybanker. 

With that, the Maybank GO Ahead. Challenge is officially launched! 
(From L-R) Maybank Islamic Berhad CEO, Muzaffar Hisham, Maybank Group Chief Technology Officer, Geoff Stecyk, Group Chief, Human Capital Officer, Nora Abdul Manaf, Maybank Group Chief Risk Officer, Dr John Lee and Maybank Head of Group Talent Sourcing & Development, Chen Fong Tuan.

Do you have what it takes to be a Go Ahead challenger? Go ahead and show them #whatareyoumadeof!

MGAC is open to all final-year students and recent graduates from 14 countries from across the world where Maybank has significant presence. So if you think you're up for a challenge, I would strongly recommend you to join and be a part of this year's Maybank GO Ahead. Challenge! Feel free to drop by http://goaheadchallenge.com/ for more details and be quick, application date period is still open until 14th May 2014.

Wishing all the participants best of luck! And most importantly, have fun :D

As long as you can fit the clothes into the ziplock bag and zip it, it is all yours to bring back home. If you can zip it and you can keep it :D

This is how the 9x14 inches ziplock bag looks like.
The record up-to-date was 16 pieces in a bag :O That's quite a lot, no?
