“The Roof Is on Fire”

Ok don’t take the title literally, however there is some truth to it! Everytime Dennis Lau Malaysia’s premier Violinist/Songwriter performs the heat of the performance just sets any stage ablaze!

That’s what happened when Lot 10 had their Repositioning Launch. Well obviously they would invite swanky performers like Dennis and Jimmy our mind blowing saxophonist to perform because we fit in just right. Well with guests such as Tan Sri (Dr) Francis Yeoh, Dato Faridah Merican and Joe Hasham the Directors of The Actor Studio, not forgetting our Nation’s Pride and Joy our very own astronaut Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor you would need someone of that stature to perform and wow this respectable crowd.

Lot 10 has done an amazing job by refurbishing their rooftop where the event was held and they now call it a “ Forest within the City”, they have added a touch of green with beautiful lush gardens, along with a beautifully lighted up pathway, mouth watering delectable cuisine from Teeq Brassiere that those working out in California Fitness are eyeing even though their running and panting away on their treadmills, which by the way is the perfect place to take that special someone as the ambience and the killer view is just the icing of the cake, plus the kitchen with a glass partition so all the going ons happens in plain sight gels really well with me !

Plus The Actor’s Studio has found a new home and will be one of Lot 10’s latest addition, along with a dance club called Rootz that will house the finest champagne around.

Well enough about Lot 10, there could be an entire blog dedicated to them and their plans. Let’s get to the more juicy stuff, the reason why you’re reading this in the first place. You want to know about Dennis’s performance right? and how he entertained the stellar crowd?

Well Zang Toi had a fashion show that showcased apparel good enough to wear during the day and for a career lady, also a showcase of how exquisite his taste by his beautiful evening gowns.

It’s no surprise that music and clothes go well together, and our performance for the night was to be a collaboration of fashion and music. As soon as Dennis exited with his violin, like a predator on a prowl for a juicy prey, the models were ushered out, sigh lucky them being serenaded whilst being decked up in high fashion clothing and looking like a million bucks.

No need to state the obvious that applause followed suit when Jimmy joined in tenor in hand, ready to back up Dennis and electrify the crowd with yet another of Dennis’s original compositions.

Models in tow, Dennis struck his pose for the cameras to capture him in the flesh, which was followed by another crowd appealing performance that led to the end of the upbeat performance for the night.

Yes just like you expected, the crème of the crop came to congratulate and commend Dennis and Jimmy on a job well done, obviously still in awe of what they had just witnessed.

I have watched Dennis perform a number of times, but I never fail to smile when I see people congratulating him, his success is my success no?

The night ended with a real dramatic performance by one of The Actors Studio’s many offerings, words cannot describe that performance and you would have to personally catch it at their new refurbished theatre so therefore I shall not ruin it for you!

Alright I shall stop raving about this event, sigh what to do? It was that good to begin and end with.


Allow the pictures to do the talking!
