What’s big, yellow and follows you around everywhere? I’m pretty sure Malaysians will get it right on the 1st go!
It’s the DiGi (one of our local telco companies) Yellow Coverage Fellow! Anyhoo, the recent party was packed with these yellow buddies, as they made an appearance for the D’Ultimate Birthday Bash in Barcelona, Sunway.
Okay LOL don’t ask. I don’t have the answers for this peculiar photograph.
Her dance steps “came from the heavens” when asked where she got those moves. Uhh.. okay. Cool. Heh. Moving on…. 🙂
I housed my Singaporean gal pals and hung out with them & Victoria in the evening before heading down for this Birthday bash.

After much mingling and chatting about with the other bloggers & guests for this event, we then did what we always do. A group shot of the early birds!
We had a free flow of drinks and more camwhoring before the night began with a big bang, literally! It was a parade of a musical gala that reminds me of a large school band.
Drums, cymbals and other percussion instruments filled the stage like a marching pandemonium! Totally got the ball rolling in high spirits… and that’s not all!
The introduction then followed through with a smooth transition of group dance acts and a very very synchronized choreography of street dances. Talk about the order! Bet they practised really hard for this
I could totally feel the energy in the room! They were bursting with zeal and my my, those moves really made them shake what their momma gave ’em.
The emcee was hyping up the crowd for the mo before more performances took to the stage. It’s time to bust the floor with some break beats!
What a start to the night of mayhem! After those rock-solid performances, the show finally began. Introducing the hosts for the party, MC Liang & Hunny Madu!
I’ve always thought Liang had a great knack of cracking up spontaneous jokes whereas Hunny, certainly has her own style & talents. (You’ll see why in a bit)
Anyhoozers, they began with some fun and games involving a dances, music and a wee bit of wacky moments! Thats gross stuff, for the lack of a better word. But what’s a party without getting it down and dirty?
ohmy. But they did win themselves prizes from ODM & Tropicana Life!
The DiGi Yellow Coverage Fellow was supposed to show an example of lap dancing with the gals in stage. But what I can conjure from the latter’s facial expressions is a WTF are they doing monkey-ing around?
But they did give very interesting lap dance routine!
More games ensued and while the other guests were up on stage busy playing with the chips <
span style="font-style: italic;">(given to us at the entrance), some of us were pretty much occupied with the drinks, partying and camwhoring away.
Don’t ask why I’m always on the right while camwhoring Perhaps my fingers were made to position themselves on the camera buttons like that.
Okay but now I’m not. How I wonder
Now, as I mentioned earlier on, I think our host for the night, Hunny Madu is gifted & a very unique individual. She’s not only a singer-songwriter but a radio announcer as well on Fly.Fm. Heck, she dances really well :
and her facial expressions during her dramatic mysterious performance was mind blowing. There was a performance with a very creepy song I remember which had her dressed all in white, while somewhat floating on the stage.
Soon after that, more fun & games took place with the use of helium balloons! The contestants were supposed to inhale (I was about to say Hydrogen wtf) Helium gas from the blown-up balloons and yell
“I Will Follow Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
in the longest & squeakiest breath possible.
Funny what Helium gas can do to a person’s voice 🙂 Stuart Little overnight!
Joey G became our DJ of the night. He worked his magic fingers and spun techno/house/dance tracks that hyped up the dance floor all night long.
Eye Candy, no?
His infectious beats got us gurls up dancing on top of the huge-ass woofer speakers that pumped bass as strong and heavy as your eyelids in the morning. (well, mine.. yeah)
We danced like there was no tomorrow!
Can you feel the heat?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THE OCTOBER, NOVEMBER & DECEMBER BABIESONCE AGAIN!
The full coverage is here! What dya think could be the cause of the massive gridlock at almost all the highways heading towards Bandar Sunway? Apart from it being the Monash Ball at MOS Euphoria, there was an even greater celebration not too far away.
Yup, ma party people. Put your hands right up where I can see ’em & give a loud toast to Arthur Guinness.
For those who ain’t stout drinkers or have completely no idea what Arthur’s Day is about, it is a series of music events which have been organised to celebrate the 250 remarkable years of the Guiness Brewing Company. It will be held in Dublin, New York and yes.. us right here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!
Honoured yet? 🙂
When I arrived, lotsa people were already crowding both the main and the VIP entrance. Let’s prove to Arthur that we know how to party as well. Hmmm.. as Malaysians would say,semangat lah!
The mo I got inside, I was in awe. Like, whoaaaaaa man. How long did the crew take to set this up! Amayzeeeeeng or whaddd?
Brilliant stage work
I walked around all over around the Arthur’s Lounge as well as the main zones of the Sunway Surf Beach area to shoot some piccies of the venue & merchandise on sale. But omfgwtfbbq the merchandise were friggin’ pricy!
Pretty though!
On stage at that mo was Reshmonu, our local singer-songwriter who did his R&B thang. Sorry to say though, I found that performance kinda boring. Next up was Joe Flizzow, Malaysia’s International Hip Hop Ambassador, otherwise known as ‘The President’. (LOL a lil narcissictic right)
Oops sorry one photo of their performance only cos I was too busy camwhoring with tha party peeps wtf
Right after Flizzow’s show came the Taiwanese rap artist MC Hotdog (LOL glamour-names nowadays) along with his sidekick. They were rapping in chinese and I saw his fans rapping along really loudly with him.
Eh no joke. This fella has been on tour in USA! Quite internationally acclaimed too
I didn’t caption the photo as such because I wanted him out of KL One of his famous hits was ‘Korean Invasion’
Finally, it was the showdown that all of us were waiting for – The Black Eyed Peas! A lil introduction here for those of you who doesn’t know them (OMG who doesn’t know those peas should be sent to remedial school)
Will.I.Am | Fergie | Taboo | Apl de Ep
They are that awesome hiphop/dance pop music act from L.A and is one of the few artistes to have ever held the number 1 and 2 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. Their chart toppers pwned the US charts for 25 consecuti ve weeks, creating history!
WICKEDDD RIGHT?
But waiting for the them to come on stage was forever, I tell ya. Nevermind, we took our own sweet time at the Silver Zone (freeflow of Guiness woots!) to camwhore all we wanted before the show anyways.
Looking very sober aren’t we? Hehs.
Once the peas get their asses on stage, the party of the year will finally begin! Aight begin… BEGIN ALREADY!
Aptly, they kickstarted their show with ‘Let’s Get It Started’ and I won’t tell you what song they’re gonna end this good good night with because but I’ve got a feeling you already know! Pun intended.
They went back in time too and belted out some of their older hits which never failed to remind us of how awesome they’ve been year after year, album after album!
Off the top of my head, I remember them singing these older records :
Let’s Get It Started
Shut Up
Where Is The Love?
Don’t Phunk With My Heart
Pump It!
And their newer singles from their latest album The E.N.D (Energy Never Dies)
Boom Boom Pow
Meet Me Halfway
Imma Be
I Gotta Feeling
Their 90 minute performance took everyone by storm but the part which I despised the most was sloshing around in muddy ankle-deep puddles just to take photos of the Peas & their stellar performance.
Funnily enough, I was distracted from the ickiness of having my toes soaked in murky water when Will.I.Am seemed to be giving us a vocabulary lesson on the name of their single ‘Imma Be’. He went something like this –
“Imma Be, guys, doesn’t make no sense. The correct way is actually ‘I am going to be’. It’s said in short form as imma be, but the meaning is still the same, yeah?“
Uh, okayyy.
We heard ya loud & clear, sir!
Will.I.Am then proceeded to spin his magic and remixed a few other record breaking hits. Popular club songs such as the ones from Flo-Rida, MJ and Rihanna had everyone at the mosh pit go crayzeee.
I was surprised when he played & remixed some old skool rock and acoustic songs too. Whoa! That really got me there. Oh, and… he also played the same set the night before at Blanc Le Club.
Okay ’nuff about Will.I.Am already. I was already tweeting so much about him last night during their performance itself wtf. Make way for everyone’s fave of the night!
Stacy Ferguson aka Fergie
Her voice was insanely powerful omg. The way she sang her vocals on ‘Shut Up’ and ‘Boom Boom Pow’. I literally raised my eyebrows when she held her chords for so bloody long and at such high pitched notes. She’s that good.
I’ve got not much to say about APL though, but I found his little mini-paces and odd dances kinda amusing. It fascinated me for a mo when I spotted him.
Oh and we’ve got Taboo here in the house too!
I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but I found him to be very womanly yet masculine at the same time. SoonSeng, who was standing with me was also of the opinion that he was very feminine in certain gestures (or perhaps his long hair? IDK)
But check out his tattoos & muscular body. Faaar from girlish.Yup. He reminds me of some martial arts cartoon character from somewhere though.
BREAK TIME!
Impressive futuristic dance routine transformer interlude dancers who eventually transformed into stereo speakers
PROBABLY FOR THEM TO CHANGE OR DRINK GUINNESS and
FOR US TO CAMWHORE & DRINK MORE GUINNESS WHAT ELSE
Ohya. You should see KY’s photos towards the end when he got hyper from one too many Guinness & jumping around LOLOLOL
Ohyay they’re back!
Singing their last few songs
There’ll be an annoying male voice singin atrociously throughout the video but it’s worth a watch! See how B.E.P adapted ‘Malaysia’ & ‘Kuala Lumpur’ into their song lyrics
And as you’ve already watched from the video above, they ended the good good night with that song! I had an awesome time partying away to the Peas – bet everyone in the house felt the same way! Randomly, I reckon this party was definitely on an immense budget though, check out those confetti!
This marks the end of 25th September’s Arthur’s Day at Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach
Oh pardon me, I just remembered something interesting. Will.I.Am kept saying Malaysia is a “beauuutifull country with beauuttifull cultu re and the foooood” and he pronounced Genting as ‘Gyen-Chee’.
Shot from the Silver Zone
Anyway, as I was saying, this event was certainly one to remember. After all, it lived up to its name of being the party of the year! Check out how it ended – with a big bang! Literally!
Asia’s Best Attraction wor.
Fireworks display was kinda long yay! Think it lasted for more than 5 minutes
And my favorite was the heart-shaped fireworks display
Looks like Arthur sends his love from up above!
Phooohh finally. End of full coverage post, from the beginning till the very end of Arthur’s Day (except Danny One lol). Been sleeping at 5am since last night to quickly publish this post. Okay, it’s 4.43am now, eyes want to close edi. Good night
Have a good good night folks! Were you there too? 🙂
Social media networks are growing rapidly and is now even wider than Big Mama’s waist. Yep, oddly how I found out on Facebook that my cousin was getting married instead of the usual word of mouth from the family. Also, it’s funny how my friends and I can find out that we happen to be at the very same event together just by reading each other’s Twitter, and eventually meet up after that.
Look guys, EVERYONE is on Twitter! Be one of us Tweeples or risk not being in the loop or hype about every darnest thing happening around you.
What other way than to celebrate the growth of social media networks?
TwestivalKL was held in Mist Club, Bangsar and I was happy to get my hands on some tickets to join the hullaballoo. Many Tweeples from the Twitterverse attended this warm get-together event over some yummy food & drinks by fabulous sponsors such as Boost Juice KL, New Zealand Natural, PokenAsia, 1901 Hotdogs and many more.
The 1st person that greeted me was @dustyhawk , who grabbed his 100th 1901 hotdog at the entrance while I dug into New Zealand Naturals ice cream immediately! Who could resist a free flow of smooth Walnut, Chocolate and Cookies n’ Crème? I know I couldn’t.
Oh and just so you know, Imma refer to everything according to their Twitter screen names from this sentence onwards. Hey, it’s a Twitter Festival after all right?
Emceed by @willquah and @elainedaly, 7pm was the time #TwestivalKL officially began. As me,@benjicajess, came directly from driving outstation, I arrived kinda late.
As I made my way to the couches of Mist, I spotted some familiar faces! After all the hi-byes, I joined my aforementioned friends at a nearby table to indulge in my ice cream, Tiger beer and a cheesy 1901 hotdog.
Speaking of the 1901 hotdog, imma show you how *gulp* deliciously thick and juicy it looks at thevery end of this entry.
Soon after, there was a lucky draw session happening at the stage. Number after number, many Tweeples were lucky enough to win their items.
There was an auction going on too. I soon found out that #TwestivalKL was also a charity effort to raise funds, for Destiny Starting Point. The pastor made an appearance too to give a short & simple speech. He sure had a good time himself too with the rest of the Tweeples!
Altogether RM11k raised!
When I got to the front to join the hoo-hah of goodie giveaways, I was hoping to win myself some freebies too, if not the Lenovo laptop. Sigh, but LadyLuck wasn’t on my side. I went home empty handed but with a friggin good time and much camwhore piccies with the buddies.
Taken at one of the tables waaaaay in front, here’s another group photo.
@dustyhawk, @kellster, @benjicajess, @serpentinegal, @ramesstudio And who’s that cutie behind me? LOL
This really cute pink Poken caught my eye and I began to camwhore with it. But unfortunately, the pink Poken which was supposed to be the focal subject, failed to show its prominence whereas 2 other people in the background did!
@smashpop and @mikecampton decided to include themselves in the frame as well. ROAR! It’s okay pals,let’s blame the one who shot the photo aye? *stares at @gregorule*
At the dance floor, I bumped into @rachelying, my former collegemate!
And when @elainedaly wasn’t on stage, we camwhored too!
Hmm.. is there something wrong with the following photo? Only those who know us personally will spot the mistake. Heh.
@benjicajess with her icecream & @joshlim. Do note that he is not, and will never be taller than me! Muahahahahha. I think they should start inventing platform shoes for men. *cough*
Admist the mingling, there was someone with the exact same pair of gladiator heels as mine! It wasn’t so much as an awkward mo where both girls will walk in the opposite direction when that happens… because we happen to know each other!
Imagine the
“ohhhmyyygodddd you have it too??
Quick! Take peektures!”
squeals spewing out from our mouths and a quick discussion on whose was a better deal at which footwear boutique. The boys around us scratched their heads at us girls when the entire scenario happened.
Can’t blame them, can we? : )
Performances ensued and we were entertained by the likes of breakdances, shufflers and the entire motley crew of poppers & lockers.
After that, the dance floor was open to the crowd. Time to boogey the night away! Kudos to #TwestivalKl and their proud sponsors. I had a swingin’ good time
Oh before I forget… the SUCCULENT HOTDOG BY 1901 as promised, Now now, refrain the mind from straying!
I’m not going to begin by telling grandmomma stories about what birthdays are, but ya know it’s essentially spells a celebration! A celebration of gaining a year of extra wrinkles (for the oldies) and a year less towards freedom (for the kids)
Vodka. What more can I say?
But to me and perhaps lotsa people out there, it’s another reason to party your sweet and sour arse off simply because you can. Oh, and may I add that (fortunately) you won’t get shipped off to military school for caking other people due to your intoxication and lack of consciousness.
On your birthday, there’s an unwritten rule that you won’t be screwed for downing that lil extra ONE MORE shot
Birthdays are best celebrated with the people you love. It can be a simple celebration over Secret Recipe with your immediate family
A birthday dinner with your extended family
Having nom-noms or clubbin’ with your buddies
A ladies night out with your homegurls
Organizing a massive joint-birthday party with your roomie
Challenging your boyfriend to down a bottle of Black Label
AND THE LIST GOES ON….
But even if ya ain’t there in person, who says you can’t ‘celebrate’ with the birthday gurl online? Being miles away ain’t no excuse anymore – it’s the 21st century! Everything is possible!
Facebook FTW
Despite having the liberty to celebrate with whoever you choose and do whatever you want for your birthday celebration, don’t forget the cake!
It’s a do or die thing – beg, borrow or steal the cake. Because without the birthday cake, you ain’t gonna be able to have any food fight
Prepare for war It’s gonna be nasty.
And neither do your friends get to smash your face into the cake when you practise a near-foolproof attempt to blow the candles out.
Couldn’t escape their quick shove of my face right into the cake. Gahhh
Birthdays are about exchanging of gifts too. Here are some of the lovelies I managed to pile together for a nice lil photoshoot. Thanks pals! You know who yall are!
Among all my birthday gifts this year, even including those not in the photo above, there is especially one gift that stood out from the pile of goodies.
It’s a handmade crouchet doll that looks like me especially with the red streaks Reminds me of a Voodoo doll!
Heck, birthdays can even bring tears of nostalgia running down people’s cheeks. Especially your mom. Or your dad. Or your grandpappy..,. or even your pet turtle.
MOM SENT ME THAT OMG Sweet!
So ya see? Imagine if you’ve never celebrated your birthday before. This is all what you’re missing out on! But no worries, the masterminds at DiGi is throwing a huge-ass birthday party for all the birthday fellas & chicks born in the months between October – December!
D’Ultimate Birthday Bash by DiGi is for simply everyone and anyone to attend. It doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 80. LOL.
It celebrates everyone’s birthday cocurrently with lots of prizes and a holiday getaway trip to *cough* somewhere, I’m not telling!
But you’ll love it.
Joinin ya in the house would be the adorable Joey G, Hunny Madu from Fly.FM, Award winner Liang the funnyman, KL Drum Corps and many more will take the stage. From food, to music and the entire party scene, it’s all in good hands.
So here’s your chance to kick back, relax and let DiGi plan your birthday party for you and your friends to celebrate in style. No sweat!
Charity is always the way to go! I reckon most people/organizations are into the trend of offering aid or even contributing back to society. Coronar, a giant PR & Media corporation has recently taken their social responsibility to the next level by throwing a charity carnival for their 57 Foundation
br>
It was a really happening event! Local Chinese celebs and even ones from Hong Kong were seen gracing the event. Some 3 singers even took to the stage. Adorable & pretty-boy singers Kit and Danny entertained the crowd with their Canto-pop, rap and R&B songs. They stole the hearts of their young female fans!
But one who realIy caught my eye was Athena Beh. Her take on Mariah Carey’s ‘Hero’ was enough to blow us all away! One heck of a powerful voice, yo. br>
The entire charity drive was emceed by the former Miss International Cosmos (Asia) who is also a familiar face in the local entertainment scene, Chris Thong.
br>She handled the crowd really well with her wit and charm –no wonder, she’s one fine lady!
br> Notice that everyone was decked in a standard t-shirt with a palm imprinted onto it? Well, I reckon it was to show familiarity of no matter who you are. Superstar or not, they are all one – joining forces to achieve one goal today.
br>Inside, an auction was going on. You can tell there’s a bidding session not too far away by hearing those yells and cheers of excitement.
br>
Cheah Soon Kit, a former international badminton player was auctioning his autographed badminton racquet in efforts of raising funds for the charity event as well.
I made my way exploring the other parts of the building and noticed that there were local favorites and lotsa cherry tomatoes on sale! Woots. Haven’t had one in ages.
br>
And suddenly, I saw something really adorable amidst the crowd.Little children in paper hats engrossed with their handheld Nintendos.
br>
There was a hand spas and arm massage booth as well, with the adjacent booth selling finger food and fluffy soft toys for children.
Oooh and there was a body art booth too.Pretty painted faces and bodies were their main attraction!Alas, I didn’t have time to pimp my face as I was busy running around taking pichas.
But guess what I spotted from afar?
br> FYI The 57 Foundation covers areas such as educational funds, medical funds and natural disaster funds.I came back inside right on time catch the mock cheque presentation by Visiber Pte. Ltd.
br>
‘We Love, We Care’ Spokesperson Fund Raising Charity Event was packed with more and more people of all ages, and even other celebs and former beauty queens soon after. Great time for a group shot right outside the entrance! br>
Chris and I with the Coronar directors and VVIPs. Congrats for making this charity event a success and for raising a whopping amount of money! And that, my dears, is the way to go!
