It was like as if the government was giving away free cash! A whole massive crowd came down to 1 Utama shopping mall in the 15^th November 2009 with one think in mind – Jonas Brothers!!! And the crowd when crazy. Alrite’, calm down… the Jo Bros weren’t exactly in Malaysia in person but a life size poster was. This fanatic event was to give one lucky fan to catch the boys live in concert in London! And a lucky fan was named! With over 20 finalist, 1 were chosen for her creativeness of her Flash Card Design – Samantha Lee. We bet she couldn’t get that big grin off her face.

Just last month, they announced the finalist for Most Outstanding Youth and Youth Friendly Company of the Year. And now the durian trophies are all given out. We are talking about AYA Awards 2009. The award night took place at KL Performing Arts Centre (KLPace) on 8^th November 2009 with over 500 people showing their support. Performances which include choir and dancing kept the event hyped up.
