OhhSOME Fest happened last weekend and we sure hope you were there because it was AWESOME! Don't worry if you missed the party, because here are some highlights from the 2-day event:
1. There was not a dull moment when headliner Wong Fu Productions took the stage, as Phil and Wes got a little crazy with their set
After delivering a few lines in Bahasa Malaysia (much to the crowd's delight), the dynamic duo - minus Ted - entertained the crowd with Wes showing off his beatboxing chops while Phil rapped a few bars.
The boys were also champs in interacting with their fans as a few lucky ones got to go onstage during the fun and games session!
2. With a guitar slung across his chest, David Choi melted our hearts with his soulful ballads including "By My Side" and "Missing Piece"
3. Malaysian songbird Elizabeth Tan's reworked version of Joe Flizzow's hit song "Havoc" might be mellow-er than the original, but it is no less catchy
4. Taylor Swift's "haters-gonna-hate" anthem 'Shake It Off' was covered at least three times from the likes of The Ming Thing, local band Dash, and even Elizabeth Tan!
5. Homegrown artists such as Altimet, Amrita Soon, Narmi, Joyce Chu and more really held their own as they delivered impressive performances on the #OhhSOME stage
6. The Joseph Germani, Shawn Lee and Dennis Yin collaboration was already a force to reckon with, but things were taken to the next level when they trio was joined by Charis Ow, Daniel Veerapen and the Rejuvenate Dance Crew for "Monchichi"
7. It's a shopaholic's haven at the #Ohhsome Bazaar, with more than 60 online vendors displaying their variety of wares ranging from trendy apparel, accessories, and bags to gorgeous art pieces, crafted goods and much more!
8. Some were more than a little inspired by a series of TEDx-style talks by Malaysian social media leaders on how to make the most out of the limitless world of social media

9. The talented artists of Sketch Post Studio were also on-site to transform the speakers' ideas into beautifully engaging visuals. Look how adorable they are!
10. The reverse bungee jumping contraption was a huge hit with visitors to the festival. With the iconic Twin Towers at the background, these brave souls' experiences made for an awesome photo op too!
11. Speaking of photo ops, this meme-themed ground mural - complete with Nyan Cat and social media icons - inspired quite a number of creative photos
