MY FIRST COVER EVER 🦾
@firstclassemalaysia this def a big one. If you told me 10 years ago I'll be on anything like this, i wouldn't believe it.
To my people, whether I'm serving you Sambal Petai Udang at Cili Kampung, turning it up at KYO, stuffing on maki rolls at KIKYO, or seeing NEYO rehearse backstage, this all cause of you ❤️
What a way to finish of 2024 🫡 Read my full cover story at @firstclassemalaysia link in bio

I kept thinking like if we were going to do @clubkyokl launch, it had to feel bigger. Something people wouldn’t expect.
Then the idea came up… what if we launched it with a freakin’ HOT AIR BALLOON and a DJ rocking inside of it 🥵
Honestly, it sounded a little crazy at first, but thats exactly why we liked it 💪🏽
From concept → doors open: 5 months.
No shortcuts. Just execution. Every. Single. Day.
Ideas are cheap. Speed is everything.
And this team? Different level.
Grateful for the people who showed up, stayed locked in, and made it real.
@clubyko is just the beginning.
Sometimes you show up just to support…
and you leave feeling genuinely proud.
Big love to @hangriii
I always knew you could act…
but this one? different level.
And to @zahiromar — respect.
The storytelling, the cuts, the comedy… it all hit.
This is what it’s about.
Seeing your people grow.
Seeing them step into something bigger.
Moments like this matter more than we admit.
Proud is an understatement.
Now we wait for Part 2 🎬
DEADLINES 🚧
People see the final product.
They don’t see this.
Late nights.
Things not going to plan.
Constant adjustments just to stay on track.
Truth is — we are behind schedule.
But that doesn’t change the outcome.
Because at the end of the day,
it’s not about perfect conditions.
It’s about making sure it gets done. No matter what
YKO OPENS TONIGHT 🚨
Everyone sees the wins.
The launches. The busy nights.
But this is the part they don’t see.
Moving from one thing to another,
handling problems on the spot,
thinking about multiple businesses at once.
No perfect balance — just showing up and getting it done.
That’s the game 🃏
The difference between average and great… is always in the details. You have to get down to getting it PERFECT yourself. Not them not him or her, YOU❗️
We got to have a quick chat with @kcplays , the man behind Damansara Heights’ biggest club! 🔥 Check out what he had to share ahead of the club’s opening. 🦺 🏗️ 🚧
A new chapter begins.
Proud to be part of @mydottys journey as we build the next phase together with @cilikampungmy
Grateful for the trust, the team, and what’s coming.
Onwards 🚀
