Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

How was your Christmas celebration? for me, i did not receive any pressie except for a small present from the exchange present session that i had with some friends over the BBQ :)

But overall i had a good Christmas, in the company of friends on the eve of Christmas and a VERY delicious Christmas dinner at the restaurant which i've always wanted to go, Lafite @ Shangri-La, KL

It was a surprised dinner.. oh well, it wasn't that of a surprised as i know there will be a dinner BUT the venue of the dinner was kept secret by a very tight lip person

Anyway, it was my 1st time trying foie gras, caviar and Dom Pérignon.. it would be my 1st and last time eating foie gras for sure as although it's expensive, i don't really like the taste of it :P so yea, no more foie gras for me, you can save the money ;)

Here's some pictures of the food :-

And the Ladies at the restaurant is SUPER nice! good for camwhoring as it's ALL mirrors!

So yes, i had a good Christmas and what's important is that i was in good company :D

There will be performances FOR SURE and the artists line up will be as per below :-

Joe Flizzow

Joe Flizzow is an award-winning Malaysian hip hop artist and businessman. He is one half of the internationally renowned Malaysian hip hop duo, Too Phat - the most successful hip hop act to ever emerge from Malaysia. He is also founder and CEO of Kartel Records.

Joe Flizzow started his career as one half of the groundbreaking duo Too Phat. With sales of over half a million records sold to date, the group's multi-platinum albums have won numerous awards locally as well as achieving recognition from MTV Asia and Channel V. International collaborations with artists from Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Australia, Sweden, Canada and United States have allowed for an all access pass on the global stage.

As an individual Joe Flizzow arguably the nicest Malaysian MC to ever grip a mic, is a talented writer, lyricist and producer. Forever pushing his boundaries and artistry into new areas of development; a pattern familiar since the late 90's, where he revolutionized the Malaysian underground Hip-Hip scene and forced the music industry to recognize it as a serious music genre.
After 10 years as a member of Too Phat, Joe Flizzow set out to begin carving a career as a solo artist in 2008 with the release of his debut solo album called President.

Mizz Nina

From hip hop MC to electro groove pop princess, Mizz Nina can certainly admit to living out her dreams. She might have taken on myriad personas in the span of her career, but her groove-hungry soul and love for an infectious beat have been a constant in most of them. Spurred on by a family that has always appreciated artistic expression, Mizz Nina dove headlong into the world of music and entertainment from the tender age of eight, and hasn’t looked back since.

In 1997, she formed First Born Troopz with Fiquetional, with whom she would later cofound seminal Malaysian hip hop group Teh Tarik Crew (TTC) in 1999. It was with TTC that her musical career truly took off, with two AIM nominations in 2002 for the group’s full-length album How’s The Level? and a radio show of her own on the now-defunct WoWfm (hosting WowVibe).

After spending the latter part of the decade travelling the world, Mizz Nina returned to the scene ready to roll with the punches with a fresh sound and broader musical perspective. Her debut solo album What You Waiting For, released in July 2010, manifests Mizz Nina’s cool confidence in her newfound vocation as a singer. Sung in English and Malay, the longplayer is a pleasure dome of beguiling beats, innovative melodies and top-notch production, and contains local and international collaborations from the likes of Uno and AJ of Pop Shuvit, Noh from Hujan, DJ Fuzz, Koko and Syaheed of Bedsty Music, Sakke from the Netherlands and Koolade from Croatia to MC Dandee from Bangkok’s Thaitanium Entertainment, Mawar Berduri from Ahli Fiqir, Teeflii and Grammy nominee Planet Asia.

Pop Shuvit

Pop Shuvit is a Malaysian independent rap-rock band. Comprising Moots! (vocals), JD (guitar), AJ (bass), Rudy (drums) and Uno (turntables), the band who got its name from a skateboarding trick of almost the same name began making waves in the local music scene in late 2001 and since then, has had 4 successful releases under their belt and gained a sizable fanbase in Asia notably in Malaysia, Japan, Thailand and Singapore. Known for their adrenaline-packed live shows and eclectic blend of hip hop and rock, Pop Shuvit are being touted as Asia’s leading Hip Hop Rock band.

tiësto?

How many of you do not know who is Tiësto? well i'm sure ALMOST everyone knows who he is.. but for those who doesn't here's a short info about him

Tijs Michiel Verwest, is a Dutch musician, DJ and record producer of electronic dance music. Although he has used many aliases in the past, he is best known for his work as DJ Tiësto. On his latest productions, however, he has dropped the "DJ" label and is now known simply as "Tiësto", an alias which is a twist of his childhood nickname.


In 1997, he founded the label Black Hole Recordings with Arny Bink, where he released the Magik and In Search of Sunrise CD series. Tiësto met producer Dennis Waakop Reijers in 1998, and the two have worked together extensively since then. Reijers is credited as producer, writer, composer, or arranger on many of Tiësto's releases. Then, in 1999 and 2000 he collaborated with Ferry Corsten to create Gouryella. His 2000 remix of Delerium's "Silence" featuring Sarah McLachlan exposed him to more mainstream audiences. In 2001, he released his first solo album In My Memory which gave him several major hits that launched his career. He was named "World’s No.1 DJ" 3 consecutive times by DJ Magazine from 2002 through 2004.


Just after releasing his second studio album Just Be in 2004 at the Summer Olympics, he performed live at the opening ceremony in Athens, Greece, becoming the first DJ to play live on stage at an Olympics. Tracks he made especially for the Olympics were mixed together and released as the mix compilation Parade of the Athletes later that year. In April 2007 Tiësto launched both his radio show Tiësto's Club Life on Radio 538 in the Netherlands and released his third studio album Elements of Life. The album reached number one on the Dutch album chart as well on "Billboard Top Electronic Albums" in the U.S. and received a nomination for a Grammy Award in 2008.Tiësto released his fourth studio album Kaleidoscope in October 2009.

I missed seeing him perform live many times and this year, he came back to Malaysia again! it was at Sepang International Circuit (SIC) and i bought tickets online straightaway as soon as i know he'll be performing here.. i got the early bird tickets hence i paid less than rm100 :D

Anyway, it was my 1st rave and i was being told that there will be alot of people, pushing, shoving, sweating and etc.. i went prepared.. with tank top, shorts, flats, Identity Card (IC) and my mobile only.. i am amazed that some girls would wear dress, stilettos and heavy make up..

I reached SIC at 10.30pm and i got stuck in a jam going INTO SIC, parking wasn't really a problem as there's ample space plus the helipad was open as well for us to park..

What was the problem were, there was only 1 (ONE) booth to buy tickets and 1 (ONE) booth to do online ticket redemption.. i was like WTF! the event company didn't know how many tickets were sold online? if they didn't check, at least do estimation.. hello, it's Tiësto and you expect 100 people to turn up? for Hennessy Artistry we had like 10 counters and it was for 4,000 people =.=

Anyhow, after pushing and shoving to get tickets we had to go through security check.. get the bags and body check as well.. there were like less than 20 check points and it was separated to 'MALES' and 'FEMALES' BUT some idiot MALES went to the FEMALE's counter hence they were hogging the female's queue and later, they were shoo-ed away.. idiots @!$%^&

Overall the event was okay, i heard that over 10,000 people showed up.. but i went back at 1am as my feet hurts! :P

Here are some pictures :-

I AM definitely going to see Tiësto again IF he comes to KL :D

mhd?

MHD is an acronym to Moet Hennessy Diageo.. and they are most well known premium brands such as Hennessy cognac, Moet Chandon champagne, Dom Perignon, Johnnie Walker scotch whiskies, Gordon’s Gin, Smirnoff vodka, Bailey’s Irish Cream as well as a wide range of quality wines from traditional and New World countries..

Like i mentioned previously, i got paid to party in Penang and Opera, Sunway Pyramid early this year in May.. i had a blast! :D

There i got to know Sukie Ng, Advertising and PR Manager of MHD.. we partied together and then few weeks back we met again at Zouk, KL.. me, my colleagues and my boss were partying away with freeflow of Moet Chandon champagne and Hennessy cognac.. as we were celebrating the success of Hennessy Artistry!

Anyway, i got a Christmas invitation by Sukie via fb.. it's an invite only event which will happen at Bianco, Vertigo The Gardens on 23rd Dec 2011.. freeflow of Moet til 10pm! wheee~

There's only about 50-ish invitees only and when i saw the list, i was like.. OMG! the list has names like Raj Aria, Josiah Mizukami, Sonny San, Stephanie Chai, Daphne Iking, Nadia Heng, Wincci Soo, Dennis Lau and etc..

Can't wait for the day to come!

*excited*

favorite cars?

As all of you know, i'm a car lover myself.. i only love a few cars up to date and it so happens that it's ALL Japanese! :-

1) Nissan Skyline R34
2) Nissan GTR-35
3) Nissan Fairlady Z
4) Subaru Impreza WRX

My 1st love would always be the one and only Nissan Skyline R34.. i still remember when i first saw and heard the R34.. it sounded AMAZING.. it was my mum's neighbour friend who drove it..

Then i was lucky enough to meet and to drive 'JHM 35'.. it's a MONSTER car to me.. had so much memories of it and i intend to keep it with me forever.. it's NOT just a car, okay? =.=

After installing a Tomei 2.8 kit, HKS Turbos, Tein Absorbers and a Nismo manifold :-

I miss the car tremendously T_T

Then again i was lucky that 'someone' got me my dream car.. and yes, i am STILL driving it

Okay, besides the R34 i love the Subaru Impreza WRX as well.. why?  isn't it obvious? the boxer engine @ flat engine sound!

Almost a year ago, i met a Subaru Impreza WRX.. love love love the car but it would be better IF it's single scroll with blitz exhaust! ;) haha..

Hopefully the owner won't sell the car off so soon! ~

Hmmm.. now i wonder.. when will i be able to meet my other 'love'? maybe in another 2 years?

I gotta start saving the money and work hard for it! :D

ugly?

It seems like many people, especially girls would look down on other 'plain jane'.. why? i grew up being an ugly duckling.. oh well.. not saying that i grew up and changed into a swan.. i just like to consider myself being a plain jane..

Anyway, just want to share with you.. ALL the girls out there, my favourite song by the Sugarbabes :-

Ugly

When I was 7
They said I was strange
I noticed that my eyes and hair weren't the same
I asked my parents if I was OK
They said you're more beautiful
And that's the way they show they wish
They had your smile
So my confidence was up for a while
I got real comfortable with my own style
I knew that they were only jealous cos

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you

There was a time when I felt like I cared
That I was shorter than everyone there
People made me feel like life was unfair
And I did things that made me ashamed
Cos I didn't know my body would change
I grew taller than them in more ways
But there will always be the one who will say
Something bad to make them feel great

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you

Everybody talks bad about somebody
And never realises how it affects somebody
And you bet it won't be forgotten
Envy is the only thing it could be

Cos people are all the same
(The same, the same)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah, yeah)
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
(Yeah, you)
So are you
So are you

People are all the same
(Oh, oh, oh)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah)
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
(Yeah, so are you)
So are you
So are you

DO NOT judge other people as it makes you an ugly person inside, no matter how beautiful or pretty you are on the outside.. remember, physical beauty won't last long ;)

tom ford?

Does anyone know who is Tom Ford? probably he's not well-known to most of you..

Anyway, he's an American fashion designer and film director.. he gained international fame for his turnaround of the Gucci fashion house and the creation of the Tom Ford label..

From 1994 - 2004, Tom Ford was the creative director for Gucci and YSL.. he brought Gucci out from almost being bankrupt and when he left in 2004, Gucci Group was valued at $10billion..

In April 2005, Ford announced the creation of the TOM FORD brand.. in that same year, Ford announced his partnership with Marcolin Group to produce and distribute optical frames and sunglasses as well as an alliance with Esteé Lauder to create the TOM FORD Beauty brand..

I was at Bangsar the other day do to some window shopping at the boutiques.. BUT i ended up shopping instead =.="

I was at Reliance Optical, looking at the sunnies.. there was a guy SA who kept bugging me to try on the glasses.. i pity him as he was really trying SO HARD to be helpful, hence i gave in and tried on a couple of glasses.. and oh boy, the glasses he chose for me.. it's either TOO big for my face or it's in purple color frame or green color and so forth..

I really wanted to just walked out as the guy didn't GIVE UP! indirectly he was chasing potential customers away..

My friend asked me to just sit down and other people will come to serve me.. true enough, i was presented with a few glasses to try on.. and within 10 mins, i found the perfect glasses.. i just bought it straightaway after negotiating the price! :D

Here it is! :-

I am truly happy with the service and price.. the girl SA suggested that i shouldn't wear a black frame glasses as it doesn't goes well with my hair color.. she knew i wanted Tom Ford hence she gave me this model which i fell in love with..

So what do you think? ;)

bloggers?

It seems like everyone is a blogger nowadays.. it's super easy to own a blog, just register yourself on blogger and VOILA! you're a blogger..

There are many types of bloggers out there.. some they just upload photos, some do vlog.. i started my blog way back in 2006 on blogger but earlier on i was blogging on friendster..

Anyway, i am NOT famous at all compare to some bloggers out there.. i just blog for fun, not for money or fame.. but of course if i do get extra income out of it, it'd be nice :D hehe..  honestly, i did get upset with some nasty comments and also when no one commented on my blog, buuuuut i'm over it ;)

I just had a conversation with a fellow blogger and he told me that there's too many unknown bloggers around.. and some, they really spoiled the reputation of a blogger.. Eg; some blogger just take advantages of being a blogger, they think that they have exclusivity.. that they can ask for free food, getting VIP invites to events or get sponsored..

I mean, it would be great IF some company or people approached you for sponsorship or invite you for an exclusive event BUT NOT the other way round where you go out and ask/beg for it.. and please don't think you could be a diva just coz you're a blogger =.="

These are just my 2 cents, sorry if i offended anyone

boycott?

Remember my previous post which i blogged about the 'Kings and Queen' comedy? Remember how excited i was to know that it's happening again this year? Went straight to RockCorner to purchase, not one, not two BUT 6 tickets which was rm128 each..

Now Groupon is selling the rm128 tickets for... rm78!! WTF right? me and my friends feel so cheated..

Should we boycott their event next year?

*remark: due to the quick response to my complaint email, i will attend the NEXT 'Kings & Queen'! :) hopefully they will bring back Kumar? :p

new ipod touch?

This is my first time blogging via my new ipod touch! so i guess i got no excuses to NOT to blog.. haha

Anyway, i just got back from bytes@tropicana mall

Check my new 32G ipod touch with the engravement AND the Hello Kitty capsule speaker :-

 

I can't wait to find a nice cover for it.. Midvalley here i come! soon~ heheh

KLS in town?

Kimora Lee Simmons is in TOWN! YES! YES! YES! she's in KL..

For those who doesn't know who she is.... well, Kimora is an American fashion model, author, and former president and Creative Director for Phat Fashions..

I ABSOLUTELY adore her and she inspired me alot..

My KLIA supervisor surprised me today by sending me a picture of Kimora while she's in the aerotrain.. i WISHED i was in KLIA today!! T_T

I've been trying to win invites to her party at Rootz tomorrow, 5th Nov 2011 via twitter and sending her tweets hoping to get her attention BUT... SIGH~

I wonder will i EVER get to meet her in person T_T

halo?

It’s the time of the year again. YES! For the BIGGEST Hennessy event.. the last time I attended the Hennessy Artistry as a blogger BUT this time, I’m attending the Hennessy HALO as an employee T_T

Anyway, as a blogger I had so many perks! I was being flown to Penang with a bunch of bloggers via MAS, stayed at a hotel suite, massages, partied 2 nights in a row, flew back to KL, stayed at Sunway hotel and attended the HA at Opera.. read back my previous post, here, here and here :)

Now since I joined my company, whenever there’s a Hennessy event I’ll be there as an employee.. this year, the event will be held at MIECC, Mines Resort City.. 

The line up artistes would be :-

Chris Willis

Landy Wen

DJ Goldfish and DJ Blink

Yolanda Be Cool

Park Jung Min (of Korean boyband SS501 fame)

Just like the previous HA, there are different zones for you to explore before the show :-

1. Hennessy Mixing Bar – a bar where fans will be taught how to mix any of the four signature Hennessy V.S.O.P long drinks (Hennessy Berry, Hennessy Ginger, Hennessy Apple, and Hennessy Soda)

2. Hennessy Music Mix Synth — where revellers will be given the chance to create their own tunes by selectively choosing to place 15 circular cubes on a react table (each cube represents a different music element, i.e: guitar, drums, etc) to allow them to experience the true meaning of “The Global Art of Mixing” through the blending of their very own tunes.

3. Hennessy iMix Challenge – an area where party-goers can try their hands at Hennessy’s newly developed iPad game which requires guests to slice up ingredients which are found in Hennessy V.S.O.P’s signature long drinks. The top 5 high scores screened on an LCD leaderboard will each take home a bottle of limited edition Hennessy V.S.O.P Helios.

4. Hennessy Interactive Photowall – a green screen photography area where revellers can enhance their photos digitally by choosing and inserting different visual backgrounds and shout out phrases.

So, what are you waiting for??

the met?

Advertorial

I'm not too sure how many of you had came across The Met, but i was being told of this hair salon by my girl friend, Mei Sze.. she has been doing her hair there since she was in school, IF i'm not mistaken..

Anyway, Mei Sze is a doll.. she got us, MHB free hair cut + color BUT it was only for the weekdays :( so i had no choice but go during the weekends as i've to work weekdays.. i thought i had to pay full price for it BUT again, Mei Sze got us (whoever who can't make it on weekdays) a deal.. 50% off for haircut and 15% off for chemical services! yippie!

The Met is located at Parkroyal hotel, the one opposite Sg Wang.. it's just right smack at the front of the hotel

They only use Redken products

I know that i've not changed my bob hairstyle for a long time.. well, i think the hairstyle stuits me hence i decided to keep it.. my stylist did a brilliant job at cutting the bob and to make sure that everytime i wake up from my sleep, my hair will be perfectly in order.. no messy hair.. all i need to do after i wash my hair is to blow it dry and FYI, i've not comb my hair ever since i got my hair cut.. talk about minimal maintenance :P

Teng, the professional hair colorist did a superb job.. she bleached my hair for highlights and dyed my hair.. ash brown!

Here are some pictures for you to see the awesome job she did :-

A lady approached me while i was having dinner with my ex-collegemate and asked me which saloon i went.. she absolutely adore my hair color..

I already went back to The Met for a trim and color touch up.. also at the same time while i was there, i made my next appointment! :D
