KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 — The only thing standing between me and being at the Bichi Mao exhibition at Menara GMBB was my knee injury and Grab fares. Seeing that it would only cost a shopping mall nasi lemak instead of an expensive sushi meal I popped an ibuprofen, strapped on my brace and headed over to Bukit Bintang to check out adorable kitties, not real ones though. I wrote about Bichi Mao last month and was curious to see how the exhibition was going plus the organisers did ask nicely.
Bichi Mao is basically a series about a motley crew of adorable cats sharing fun little stories and life lessons. For many, Bichi Mao's social video posts were balms during tough times and the brand's focus on relatable and encouraging content kept the brand's fans coming back for more. Bichi Mall world domination? At the exhibition I met up with Wee Lim, who along with Olive Yong, are the founders behind Bichi Mao.
He asked if I'd heard about Bichi Mao before. Bichi Mao must never know how many times I have watched the “I Boo Boo Ball” Bichi Mao TikTok. Big Mao vs Little Mao Compilation!
