Word of the day starts with S – S for suitcases!
I was invited to attend an American Tourister roadshow the other day. Dammit! If I’d known American Tourister got new range, I wouldn’t have bought a fake Disney suitcase that day in Bangkok. T_T
Roadshow set up!
The event launched with some cool B-boys doing their thang. I say thang cos I’m also cool like them yo.
Then! Emcee called me up. I always feel very awkward at public events as a blogger cos… How to know how many of the crowd actually read your blog? And emcee usually introduces you as ‘famous blogger’ and I can almost hear the people thinking ‘what small fart is this what is a blogger and why is she famous? is she from Alvivi’ wtf.
LOL no la hahaha I was quite nervous cos like I said, I hate to be presumptuous but the emcee was smooth and funny and the crowd seemed pretty engaged and interested. ^^
I spoke about traveling and what I look for in a suitcase (color and design, hardiness and weight). Color because… all my things need to be in a cute color la i.e. pink. Hardiness because you don’t want to pick your bag up from the baggage carousel and find a gaping hole in it. And suitcases tend to be pricey so I don’t want to replace it that often. And weight because otherwise I cannot carry it la wtf.
So the emcee asked me to test the hardiness of the new American Tourister Vivolite suitcase.
He gave me five seconds to stand on and stomp on the suitcase as hard as I could.
I did. With heels. Stomped on it hard pretending it’s an anonymous troll’s face and no harm was done to it! The shell merely shifted slowly back into shape and it remained as shiny as ever, which means no scratches even!
Then it was time to showcase it’s weight. Or lack of it. There was to be a contest. And I was to be the judge!
Oh that’s me and the American Tourister gorilla hahaha. If you look, the ring we were in was encircled by cameras all around. When the person in the center jumped, the 30 HD cameras would all snap photos, and the photos would be joined together to create a 360 degree ‘levitation’ image. Like Matrix like that!
The contest was to award the most creative jump featuring the Vivolite luggage. But first they asked me to demonstrate. *trembles
My jump. T_________T Mad ungraceful. If you confused me and Gorilla, I understand.
This was the winning jump!!! Such finesse! It really looked very artistic, especially how he wielded the suitcase hehe.
Congratulations to the winner!
One picture with him and his prize – a green Vivolite carry on suitcase.
They all do celebratory jump. I give up trying at this point hahaha.

One with the suitcases! The Vivolite comes in four bright summer colors – lime green, hot pink, purple and navy. Guess which one I picked hehehe.
Also comes in 3 sizes – carry on, a medium size and a large size.
It is really super light – as is evidenced by all the jump shots we did easily with it.
Again with the Gorilla! See him stomping on the lime green suitcase haha.
American Tourister Vivolite is available at most major department stores now. 🙂
