Jia Xuan is a six-year-old who is bravely battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Her time is shared between frequent trips to the hospital and watching Hello Kitty cartoons online, thoroughly mesmerised by the magical and whimsical world of her favourite show.

When Jia Xuan declared her wish, she didn’t have to think twice – she wanted to meet the iconic character herself! The timing was perfect as Hello Kitty was coming to Kuala Lumpur with her Sanrio buddies for a month-long vintage American theme carnival – Hello Kitty Go Around Malaysia.

Pretty in pink, and sporting a Hello Kitty sling bag and matching Hello Kitty shoes, Jia Xuan was given VIP access, getting to explore the carnival in its entirety before it was opened to the public! She was the celebrity of the day, with cameras capturing her arrival before she proceeded to the interactive game booths, where she tried her luck at winning some Hello Kitty gifts.

A visit to the land of Hello Kitty would not be complete without an appearance of Hello Kitty herself! Jia Xuan was starstruck when Hello Kitty came up to her, and it took her a few seconds to compose herself before she ran into Hello Kitty’s arms, and even got to dance and pose with Hello Kitty.

Armed with lots of Hello Kitty goodies, Jia Xuan also went home with wonderful memories of her time spent with her favourite bobtail cat with a red bow.

Our heartfelt thanks to Ms LC Toh for adopting Jia Xuan’s wish, and Hey Day Sdn Bhd for Sharing the Power of a Wish with us!
