Most Malaysian Indian boutiques primarily sell traditional silks and heavy bridal wear, but Choli by MyDesiStyle (or Choli, as it’s known to regulars) is determined to carve a lane of its own. Their venture is rooted in culture, yet shaped by modern trends. They have a one-of-a-kind store that offers fashionable pieces while retaining the charm and grandeur of Indian fabrics.
Founded by husband-and-wife duo Preya and Nav, Choli is more than just a retail store. It’s a boutique, a creative space, and above all, a place where customers can feel at ease. There’s no pressure to shop fast and pick the wrong items — their helpful staff understands the importance of picking the right wedding clothes and make it a priority to help in the best way. Every piece is created with intention, and every shopping experience is designed to be calm, personal, and welcoming.
What began with Preya’s earlier fashion business — and Nav’s strength in operations — has now grown into a family-run brand that reflects their shared values: authenticity, attention to detail, and care for the customer. Even with a young child in tow, they remain hands-on with every design and every client.
Your Bespoke Wedding Outfit Partner
Rather than offering off-the-rack generic items, Choli intentionally keeps more semi-stitched or unstitched items in-store. They want their customers to have full freedom to create a fit that’s uniquely theirs and doesn’t look like what everyone else is wearing at events.
To help their customers realize their vision for the perfect lehenga or sherwani for their big day, Choli has a full-time in-house tailoring team, led by a master tailor who understands both classic techniques and modern trends. His expertise spans everything from fabric cutting, alterations, kurta refitting, saree fall finishing, full custom builds for lehengas, punjabi suits, and sarees from raw materials. Tailoring is not just an add-on here — it’s the core of the experience.
Each customer works directly with the tailoring team to bring their ideal outfit to life. And every blouse and custom piece is personally checked by Preya and Nav to ensure a perfect finish.
So when customers say Choli clothes “fit like a dream,” it’s because they actually do.
On a tight timeline? There’s also a curated collection of ready-to-wear Indo-Western suits, Punjabi suits, Shararas, Anarkalis, and Readymade Sarees. perfect for wedding receptions, temple events, ROMs, pujas, or last-minute events.
From Brides to Grooms to Guests
While Choli first started out focusing on bridal lehengas and sarees, the boutique has now expanded its range to include groomswear, guestwear, and everyday ethnic styles with a modern twist. They have blossomed into quite a “one-stop shop” for every type of Indian clothing. Now their service offerings include:
Making custom sherwanis and Indo-Western looks for grooms
Stylish kurta sets for men and women
Casual-to-dressy outfits for temple events, pujas, ROMs, and wedding receptions
A ready-to-wear collection that includes Punjabi suits, anarkalis, shararas, and their new Readymade Sarees — perfect for last-minute occasions
Their tailoring team also handles saree fall finishing, blouse stitching, kurta refits, and full custom builds for lehengas, sarees, and suits made from in-store fabric.
When people say Choli outfits “fit like a dream,” it’s because they truly do.
Transparent Pricing You Can Trust
Choli has built strong customer loyalty not just through its thoughtful designs, but also through its clear and honest pricing.
There’s no guesswork, no inflated rates, and no pressure. Just high-quality fabric, fair pricing, and consistent service.
Here’s what to expect:
Bridal Lehengas – RM800 to RM2,500
Lightweight/Party Lehengas – RM420 to RM880
Saree Materials – RM280 to RM780

From beginner-friendly cruisers to intelligent mid-range machines, Cyclone’s 2025 lineup reflects the brand’s evolving global ambition. As part of its 2025 strategic lineup, Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Zongshen Cyclone is placing the spotlight on four key models: the AQS401, RX600, YOMI, and CUBE. Let’s take a closer look at what these four motorcycles bring to the table.
AQS401: Mid-displacement Cruiser with a Beginner-Friendly Edge
The AQS401 is powered by a 401cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine paired with a second-generation AMT automatic transmission that allows both automatic (D mode) and manual (M mode) paddle shifting. It produces a max power of 33kW and 36.7Nm of torque, achieving 0–100km/h in just 6 seconds. The muscular body styling is complemented by a full-color TFT dashboard with integrated T-box connectivity, offering remote tracking, ride records, and theft alerts. Dual-channel ABS and TCS systems round out the safety tech. A great choice for younger riders who want the cruiser look without the manual workload.
RX600: V-Twin Character with Smart Details and a Softail Look
The RX600 is equipped with a 550cc parallel-twin engine delivering 43.5kW and 55Nm, capable of 0–100km/h in 5.2 seconds and reaching a top speed of 170km/h. Available in both Modern and Bobber versions, it features a floating solo seat, dual side-mounted exhausts, and signature softail-style design cues. Smart features include a TFT screen with T-box connectivity, dual-channel ABS and TCS, slipper clutch, full LED lighting, and adjustable handlebars. Cyclone also backs it with a 5-year/50,000 km warranty and one-year price protection—making it a solid contender in the mid-size cruiser segment.
YOMI: A Stylish Mini Cruiser for City Life
Weighing just 113kg with a 650mm seat height, the YOMI is ideal for beginner riders or anyone looking for a light, easy-to-handle urban cruiser. Powered by a 123.7cc single-cylinder engine with CVT transmission, it delivers 5.8kW of power and 7.9Nm of torque. The EVO version includes a balance shaft for smoother performance, and both variants come with dual-channel ABS (EVO adds TCS). The EVO also includes a smart LCD dashboard with T-box functions like tracking and vibration alerts. Retro Chopper styling with chrome touches and multiple color options give the YOMI strong visual appeal for urban riders.
CUBE: Tech-Forward Urban Scooter with Futuristic Vibes
With a distinctive “mecha dog” design, the CUBE is a 149cc CVT scooter that blends sharp aesthetics with practical features. It produces 11.5kW of power and 14.5Nm of torque, topping out at 106km/h. Lightweight at just 120kg with a 720mm seat height, it’s nimble for city use. Features include a capsule-style LED instrument panel with full T-box connectivity, USB charging port, LED projector headlamp, auto start/stop, and togglable TCS. The semi-slick tires and powerful ABS brakes ensure confident stopping in varied conditions.

AECH’s new single that stands out as a love letter to their homeland, Antipolo City.
AECH (pronounced “H”), a rising Filipino band mixing country and rock, just dropped a new single called “Highlands.”
Released on April 4, in commemoration of its cityhood anniversary, the song is a personal shoutout to their hometown, Antipolo City.
It’s filled with hope, pride, and hometown nostalgia, wrapped in a laidback country sound.
This release follows their debut EP The Afternoon (2024), and it’s clear—AECH is carving out their own lane in OPM.
Formed in summer 2023, the band’s been steadily gaining fans through live gigs and features—like their spot on Wish 107.5.
“Highlands” marks another big step.
The lyrics paint Antipolo clearly:
“From the highest mountains to the falling falls.”
It’s calm, proud, and real.
The hook—“Living in the Highlands, where the music plays”—feels like home.
They officially launched the single on April 5 at How ű Brewin’ Music Cafe with other indie artists: Azul, Jerry Something, Audiovault, Yes Friday, GRIDN, and Race to Valhalla.
It was small and packed with love—exactly the kind of setting that shows how tight AECH is with the local scene.

Discover how Solayer, a Layer-2 solution on Solana, enhances scalability and liquidity through restaking, sSOL tokens, and DeFi integration—plus 2025 price predictions showing up to 358% ROI for LAYER investors.
As blockchain networks evolve, scalability, utility, and liquidity become critical components for sustainable growth. Enter Solayer, a cutting-edge Layer-2 (L2) blockchain built on top of Solana.
Designed to maximize the performance of the Solana network, Solayer introduces a powerful ecosystem that enables users to restake SOL tokens, earn rewards, and maintain liquidity through tokenized assets, while also offering promising returns for early investors.
What is Solayer?
Solayer is not just another protocol. It is a scalability-enhancing restaking infrastructure that unlocks dormant SOL tokens, allowing them to be actively used in decentralized applications (DApps) and across the Solana ecosystem.
Think of your SOL tokens as rooms in a digital building—Solayer helps you “rent them out,” reducing congestion and empowering broader network usage, all while earning you rewards.
How Solayer Works: Core Architecture and Components
Solayer’s strength lies in its modular, intelligent staking infrastructure. Here’s how the system works, component by component:
1. Layer 2 Restaking Protocol
Solayer operates as an L2 enhancement to Solana, offloading part of the staking and delegation workload. This unburdens the main network, allowing DApps to function more efficiently while maintaining decentralization and speed.
2. Restaking Pool Manager
This is the central orchestrator of the staking process. It:
3. sSOL: Liquid Staking Tokens
These are tokenized representations of staked SOL, allowing holders to retain liquidity. Instead of waiting through unstaking periods, sSOL holders can trade, use, or reinvest their assets instantly—earning yield while staying flexible.
4. Delegation Manager
The Delegation Manager determines where pooled SOL is staked by interacting with validators. This ensures secure and optimal delegation for maximum yield and decentralization.
5. Reward Accounting Unit
This component tracks staking rewards and ensures fair distribution to sSOL holders, according to their proportional share in the pool. Think of it as the accountant of the system—ensuring precision without handling the funds directly.
6. Oracle Price Feed
To ensure a stable and accurate value peg between sSOL and SOL, Solayer uses oracle price feeds. This maintains market confidence by keeping token valuations consistent and aligned with real-world SOL prices.
Step-by-Step Example: Solayer in Action
Let’s break down a real-world use case:
- You stake your SOL via Solayer.
-
The Restaking Pool Manager receives your tokens and gives you sSOL.
-
Your staked SOL is then delegated across multiple validators and DApps, guided by the Delegation Manager.
-
Rewards are tracked by the Reward Accounting Unit and periodically distributed.
All the while, oracle price feeds ensure your sSOL value reflects your earned SOL + rewards.
Result? You’re earning passive income, maintaining token flexibility, and helping to secure the Solana network—all at once.
Tokenomics: Inside the Solayer Ecosystem
Solayer operates with a multi-token economy, each with a specific role:
1. SOL: The foundational token used for staking and transactions on Solana.
2. LAYER: The primary utility token of the Solayer ecosystem, used for staking, governance, and incentives.
3. sSOL: A liquid staking token, enabling seamless participation in the ecosystem without sacrificing liquidity.
4. AVS Tokens: Issued by DApps on Solayer, these grant access to MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) and SOL yield streams.
5. sUSD: A stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, used for staking, transactions, and liquidity provision.
Price Forecast and ROI: 2025 and Beyond
The financial outlook for LAYER—the native token of Solayer—is optimistic, with impressive ROI predictions throughout 2025:
Despite volatility, the annual average price of $3.28 for LAYER in 2025 suggests strong investor confidence and potential returns exceeding 350% for early adopters.
Long-Term Price Prediction: LAYER in 2030
Looking ahead, conservative estimates show LAYER reaching $1.50596 by 2030, marking a gradual yet steady increase in long-term value. While this may reflect cautious forecasting, it underscores a belief in Solayer’s sustained utility and network growth.
Conclusion: Why Solayer Matters
Solayer represents the next phase in DeFi innovation on Solana. By enabling restaking, liquid staking, and cross-platform utility, it unlocks powerful ways for users to grow their assets without compromising on access or flexibility.
With a robust infrastructure, diverse tokenomics, and bullish market outlook, Solayer is well-positioned to become a foundational component of Solana’s broader DeFi ecosystem.
