The influencers will be present on 29 October at The Curve, together with Mr Sai Tzy Horng, consultant for The Best of You Movement, for the official launch of the Best of You Life Exhibition.

“The many seemingly small actions and achievements in our lives that are often neglected and forgotten are actually monumental,” said Mr Sai. “They represent our best efforts and stem from the love we have for our lives. It’s equally important that we take time out to recognize those efforts and achievements in ourselves and others.”

The Best of You Life Exhibition is a showcase for inspiring stories, poems, images, illustrations and videos. The public are invited to come and view the exhibition at The Curve, from 28 October to 2 November 2014, between 11am and 10pm.
