One day she’s out competing for hockey on ice, and on another day she’s an advocate for STEM racing. ⛸️🚗 Crazy how she can kill it both ways!
National athlete Erina continues to inspire women in sports and STEM all over the world. 🩷

This is @offthetrack.wav , a group of independent musicians, and most importantly, a group that believes artists should be able to create on their own terms.
They organise shows across different spaces — from art studios to skateparks — each one shaped around the artist performing. With a focus on giving musicians full creative freedom, these shows allow them to experiment, perform, and share their work without having to compromise for the industry.
To OTT, it’s about creating a space where artists feel understood, and where others are reminded that it’s possible to do things differently.

This is NOT your typical bazaar... Last weekend we experienced Malaysia’s FIRST market hotel! 🎨🖼️
Local artists transformed hotel rooms into a space unique to them and to those visiting as well. It was as if every artist was gathered in a museum! All their pieces were so thoughtfully put together... we’d find a surprise at every corner. 🤩
What was your experience like at @tradersmarketkl this time? Comment down below!
Let us know where else should we explore next! 👇
Meet Zoe, owner of @kedai.zoe , a bag business curated from a perspective in architecture. 📐
She believes in the power of form, texture and colour in her pieces, making them stand not just as a bag, but as a means of sculptural expression. 🎨

This is Maybelline, founder of @groovesociety.my — and someone who just wanted a space where people could dance without overthinking it.
It’s not really a dance class, not really a party either. Somewhere in between.
People come in not knowing each other, switch partners halfway through, and by the end, you’re dancing with strangers like you’ve known them for years.
There are no mirrors, and no pressure to get the steps right. It’s just music, movement, and a room full of people connecting through dance.

This is Lisa, Myra and Imen, founders of @friendswhochess , and simple chess lovers who believe that there’s a seat for everyone in the game.
Some of their fondest memories of chess came from playing with their families, where starting a game simply meant spending time together.
Today, they organise casual chess meet-ups that bring that same feeling back — spaces where people can slow down, play at their own pace, and enjoy the game without pressure.
If this is a space for you, make sure to join their upcoming event on 3 May!

Who decided to have so many events happening the same weekend? 🤔 We hit up a few of the hotspots and definitely reached our 10k steps 🏃🏻♀️➡️
What event should we look out for next? 👀 events mentioned:

This is @sayurinthecity , an urban farm by @eatsshootsandroots ! 🥬 It is a space built by people who believe nature should be accessible to everyone.
What started as a small backyard in 2012 has grown into a thriving garden in the heart of KL. Through years of trial and error, it slowly evolved into a space where people can reconnect with where their food comes from.
More than just a garden, it’s a community where people choose to show up and play their part in understanding the environment better. It’s also a testament to what a community can achieve when people come together.
