For all you overzealous people who loves planning in advance, here’s an idea. Bring your other half for a very different Valentine’s celebration!
Or if you’re a lonely, single heart (like I am now LOL) you can round up your mad hatter group of friends and partymates to rock the dance floor with you – VIP style!
Maxis is throwing this concert in conjunction with their Chinese New Year festivities
and to celebrate their launch of 4G – now available for prepaid users!
Hailing all the way from Taiwan, award winning Hip Hop act Da Mouth will make their way to our Malaysian shores this February.
The four-piece band comprises rapper MC40, DJ Chung Hua, and their male & female vocalists Harry and Aisa (Japanese!), respectively.
This will be my first time watching Da Mouth perform live.
Pretty keen to check out what they’re made of on stage, as they’re popularly dubbed as Asia’s very own version of The Black Eyed Peas!
The second main act comes from our brethren across the causeway – Singapore!
Fusing a galaxy of EDM to her belt from electro, trance, progressive to big room house, DJ Tenashar’s raging stamina and musical sass has shone dynamically.
With energy to spark any party and epic excitement from her thousands of fans, the Singaporean starlet will turn any dance floor she helms into a party scene.
Yup…. no surprise. Am I right, lads?
She’s also been voted as World #87 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs in the world.
Check out the video trailer of what to expect when you catch Da Mouth and DJ Tenashar live in concert!
Looks pretty fun! I honestly can’t wait to rave to DJ Tenashar’s set and to check out the much-talked about Da Mouth for the first time.
They’re not the only artistes performing for us, by the way.
Model-turned-DJ Leng Yein and I at a recent event.
Good on you jie! Nail the dance floor, yeah? x
Supporting acts for the show will be 3 local female DJs – DJ Leng Yein, DJ Nikki and DJ Jerryca Misty. Let’s hope they all rock my Saturday night.
After all… it’s the weekend of Valentine’s and for the first time, I don’t have anyone to rock it for me LOL.
on 7th-9th February in Sunway Pyramid (Blue Atrium)
Which brings me to the part you’re all waiting for.
Want to win yourself a pair of VIP passes worth RM288 to party the night away with Da Mouth & DJ Tenashar? 5 of my readers will be winning themselves 2 VIP passes each!
Just comment below by telling me I should pick you because you’re awesome and why you want/deserve to go to the event.
You will be contacted if you’re among the 5 lucky winners!

What else do you think it will be?
Let’s get wicked this weekend!
Hahaha. The organizers sure got themselves some humour there. LOL!
It came with a very sweet letter too. Thanks, Wicked Entertainment!
There had been rumors in the wind and shadows shifting in the dark. Tales of all things wicked, creatures of the night and music coming alive.
Two legendary EDM superheroes from a land faraway will lead hordes of insane electronic music lovers come this Saturday night.
Heed the words of caution as this is not for the faint-hearted. Rumors, they are certainly not.
One more sleep till Axwell and Zedd blow our minds to bits as our very own Malaysian EDM music fest has descended upon us – Wicked Festival 2013 is finally happening! Deets as follows:
WHAT? WICKED FESTIVAL 2013
WHERE? SEPANG INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT, MALAYSIA
WHEN? 23RD NOVEMBER 2013 6PM TILL LATE
Saving the world and bringing us back to life is Axwell, of (now defunct) Swedish House Mafia fame.
In my mind, in my head, this is what we’re waiting for!
Watch Axwell’s full set at this year’s Tomorrowland 2013 in Belgium, Germany!
Can you believe he’s coming to play for us? Well.. BELIEVE IT.
Showing us some clarity for the night will be young EDM prodigy, Zedd!
It will be a spectrum of havoc, for sure!
Zedd’s amazing set at this year’s Ultra Music Festival 2013 in Miami, USA!
So there you have it.
Leave the world behind and stay the night, for they will be headlining the party, full speed ahead.
The magnitude of talents will melt your brains as No_ID from Amsterdam takes the stage along with local heroes – DJ Nikki, BATE, Hightech, Ramsey Westwood and Captain Ed.
The punches will come, blow after blow, one after another, all in a single night.
Ready to get wicked?

[highlight style=”yellow” ]For more info on Wicked Festival 2013:[/highlight]
I have no idea how I managed to wake up relatively early this morning after last night’s wicked party!
Emma Hewitt / Jessicat / Sean Tyas
More about the party later, as I will also be including a video of the night into my coverage too, on top of the blog post write-up. For now, let’s talk about the interview I had with them, shall we?
Last night, I had the chance to sit down with Emma Hewitt and Sean Tyas for an interview just before the party began. They were very friendly, down-to-earth, and such nice people to talk to and to actually have a conversation with!
You ready? I am. Let’s start with Emma Hewitt.
Managed a quick chat with her. Loved her very sweet demeanour and aura of gracefulness.
25 year old Australian songbird, born Emma Louise Hewitt, is currently residing in Los Angeles, USA. She is a singer-songwriter, and started her foray into music as the lead singer of her own (now no longer active) rock band ‘Missing Hours’. Now popularly known as the princess of trance she is now a full-time trance vocalist and has collaborated with EDM giants to produce chart-topping billboard staples, from the likes of Marcus Schossow, Armin Van Buuren, Dash Berlin and Cosmic Gate just to name a few.
She was bubbly, had a good sense of humour and was very amicable throughout our interview.
Below is the ten-question interview piece I had with Emma. Enjoy!
[highlight style=”yellow” ]1. Welcome to our island, Penang. It’s a pleasure to have you here. How is your trip so far?[/highlight]
Hi! How are you going? Last night was amazing in KL, it was fantastic! The crowd was just really, really great. There was a lot of energy in the room. A lot of people in there were a great fun crowd, really lovely and friendly people. And tonight, in Penang, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with Penang! I think tonight is going to be a really fun party.
[highlight style=”yellow” ]2. Being your first time here, how do you personally find Penang?[/highlight]
I’ve heard you guys in Penang have the best food and can party really hard! So now, I’ve seen the food, and it was some of the most fantastic food I’ve ever tasted… and now I have to see the party crowd. So excited!
[highlight style=”yellow” ]3. I’m sure everybody is excited to see you too! You’re a very talented songwriter and a singer. How do you usually get inspiration for your music? Any specific procedures in your songwriting?[/highlight]
I’m always inspired by life itself. If there was something that happened to me in the past, or to my friends and family, I write about it. To me, writing songs, it has to be personal and something that I’m really feeling at the time. So usually my song writing draws from my own experience. My brother, who is a guitarist, and I used to write songs together in a rock band using the guitar; we play and write, and see what works acoustically. And now with dance music, we write the same way.
[highlight style=”yellow” ]4. A rock band! That’s a really cool start. So, have you fully transitioned from rock to trance now?[/highlight]
Yeah I did! And to be honest, my songs are still kind of the same but they just have trance beats instead of rock. We write them in the same way, they’re all very personal songs. But to me, trance music has allowed me to write in a much more emotional and personal way. I think people are more open to hearing something personal in trance music.
[highlight style=”yellow” ]5. You’ve collaborated with huge names like Dash Berlin, Gareth Emery and Armin Van Buuren. Who are you looking forward to collaborate with next?[/highlight]
I’ve got a few collaborations in the pipeline, but they’re not set in stone yet so I can’t talk about them until they’re definitely happening. But there are about four or five that I’m really excited about! Most of them are trance but some of them are pushing towards a slightly different style. I wanna do some darker kind of vocals and go back to the rock roots with those stuff, and also poppy kind of vocals and deep choruses. So I’m looking forward to work with those DJs on those new styles as well as the trance ones.
Editor’s note: Mid-way through the interview, I noticed her looking at my left collarbone. She then told me she loved my tattoo and asked me what it is. I mentioned that it was a quote by Shakespeare and read it out to her (I know you guys are waiting for my blog post on this collarbone tattoo, sorry for the delay! Will blog about that soon!) She then said it was a really beautiful quote and how she loved tattoos, which led me to my next question…
[highlight style=”yellow” ]6. How about you, Emma? Do you have any tattoos yourself? How many?[/highlight]
Oh I have a few too! She then revealed a half-sleeve on her left inner forearm, and also pointed out to her right hip and some on her foot. Once you start, you can’t stop!
[highlight style=”yellow” ]7. I totally agree. Tattoos always carry a significant meaning, and so do songs, in fact! Which of your tracks meant the most to you? [/highlight]
All my songs carry memories and meaning to me, I don’t have a specific favourite but I would say that the Chris Lake track was very special to me, because it was the first. And also ‘Waiting’ with Dash Berlin, because that exposed me to a lot of people and opened the doors for me in this genre of music, which I’m really grateful for.
Editor’s note: This Chris Lake track she was referring to is the 2009 release by Chris Lake featuring Emma Hewitt – Carry Me Away. Do take a listen! It is a lovely one.
[highlight style=”yellow” ]8. Yeah, ‘Waiting’ is one of my personal favourites too. That, if I remember, won Best Euro Track at the Electronic Dance Music Awards in 2010 too, how did you feel about that?[/highlight]
Yes, yes it did! That was really nice! It was really cool that it was recognized and how people took notice of that song. Really an honour.
[highlight style=”yellow” ]9. Out of all the trance anthems of all time, what is your favourite trance track of the year?[/highlight]
Hmmm… I’m not too sure if it was released this year, because I’ve lost track of time as I have been travelling so much… but I would say, Concrete Angel was a really great track and one of the best songs. Really, really huge for quite some time! Editor’s note: Gareth Emery – Concrete Angel was released in 2012 under his record label Garuda.
[highlight style=”yellow” ]10. What is the craziest thing or the most memorable thing a fan has done for you?[/highlight]
*giggles* There’s been some crazy ones, and there are some lovely ones as well. I’ve received beautiful gifts that they’ve made. There was a man who is getting my face tattooed on his leg and is in the process of doing it at the moment. I was flattered but kind of worried how my face would look as a tattoo; I hope it wouldn’t look too scary! I felt bad for him, and was like, “Oh no, don’t do that!” *laughs* Another fan recently got my signature tattooed on his back and sent us a picture. It was amazing, such a heart-warming experience. I actually teared up when I saw the picture.
Before we concluded the interview, I managed to ask Emma to record a personal message to all her Penang trance fans.
Hope you enjoyed the interview and getting to know Emma a little bit better.
Moving on…
Sean Tyas is a 34 year old American-born DJ and EDM producer (particularly trance) who is currently residing in Switzerland. He is well known for is internet radio show, Tytanium Sessions and regularly receives airtime on Armin Van Buuren’s ‘A State of Trance’ , Tiesto’s ‘Club Life’ and Above and Beyond’s ‘Trance Around the World’.
He was very jovial, laid back, extremely cheerful and approachable. So let’s hear what he has to say, shall we?
‘
Below is a quick 5 minute interview I managed to do with him. Enjoy!
[highlight style=”yellow” ]1. Welcome to our lovely island, Penang. Is this your first time travelling with Emma Hewitt?[/highlight]
This is my first time in Penang, but not my first time time in Malaysia, though. I’ve been here three times! I’ve done a few shows and performed with Emma before but yes, this is the first time we’re doing a two-gig performance tour like this. I hope you guys will enjoy it.
[highlight style=”yellow” ]2. What would you say; best describes your personal style, in terms of music?[/highlight]
I play usually very high energy trance and usually that comes with a high tempo also. But I’ve been interested in other styles, like drum and bass. I try to integrate the harder sounds of drum and bass into trance music lately.
[highlight style=”yellow” ]3. I’m a huge fan of D&B music too. Any personal favorites or must-listens that you’d like to recommend from your own discography?[/highlight]
From my own stuff, most requested tune that people seem to really enjoy is my remix of Paul Webster featuring Angelic Amanda called ‘Time’. Other than that, as far as reworks go, I’ve done this rework of a track by Breaking Benjamin & Carl B called ‘Diary of Jane’, and that definitely seems to be a crowd favorite.
[highlight style=”yellow” ]4.I’ve heard the Breaking Benjamin rework! Loved it. Will we be expecting to listen to it from you tonight, then?[/highlight]
It depends! All those are fast tunes like 138-140 bpm. Tonight I’m gonna try to keep it melodic, keep it relatively easier pace just to make sure everybody can really dance tonight *chuckles* 140 is really fast, you know!
[highlight style=”yellow” ]5. But that would be the main drive of the track! We Malaysians really know how to party hard![/highlight]
Yeah, that’s right. You can’t really have a low energy tune at 140 bpm. So, yeah okay that’s great then! We’ll see how it goes tonight! If it’s hard enough, I’ll play it!
[highlight style=”yellow” ]6. The pressure is on! What would you be expecting from your fans from Malaysia, in terms of crowd response?[/highlight]
For Malaysians, it’s always very enthusiastic fans who know the tracks. So they would usually sing along and dance, with a very high level of energy and enthusiasm. Really cool!
Before we ended the interview, I also managed to ask him to record a message to his Penang trance fans out there. Just for you!
And that’s a wrap!
It was an honour to speak to you both and personally ask you those questions exclusively! Hope to see you live in concert again some time soon.
So there you have it. Up close and personal with Emma Hewitt and Sean Tyas. Special thanks to event organizers SOHO Group, KC and Friends as well as Titanium Event Management for tonight’s special arrangement.
In the meantime, dearest readers and trance fans, stay tuned to the full blog post coverage + video on the gig!
For days and weeks leading up to this year’s Carlsberg ‘Where’s the Party?’, I must say I was pretty excited.
They did a terrific job in hyping the party up! I too, shared the buzz and my excitement with everyone.
Goodies at my doorstep as early as a month before the party! A Nixon LED-silicone watch, a Carlsberg flashdrive
and six bottles of Carlsberg in a bag full of glowsticks, streamers and shiny tinsels!
The very week before the party, I received my invitation.
The bag contained earplugs, a neck travel-cushion, an eye-mask and a couple of Carlsberg bottles.
Granted, my enthusiasm grew as the days passed, but I was half wondering how exactly they were going to throw a “bigger and bolder” one this year, as last year’s epic tri-nation beach party certainly raised the bar to an apex!
Remember the teaser post I wrote for Carlsberg – Where’s the Party?
That being said, Carlsberg and team would most definitely have big plans to up their ante this year, in line with their claims of “Malaysia’s most epic party”, right?
Wrong.
Unfortunately, ‘Where’s the Party?’ 2013 was, to many, nothing compared to last year’s mind-blowing instalment.
Don’t get me wrong.
This year’s ”Where’s the Party?’ 2013 certainly had its strengths, but not nearly enough to outweigh what it lacked.
Being an avid partygoer with a strong thirst for good celebrations, allow me to share my experience and elaborate my observations with an objective point of view.
Adhering to the time stated in the invitation, my partycrew and I adjourned to Serdang in the mid-afternoon.
Oh the suspense! I couldn’t wait to see what was in store for us at ‘Where’s the Party?’ 2013.
Where will we be taken to this year? Where will the location be this time round?
Arriving at Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) where we are to be transited to the party showgrounds.
Our transit bus.
So excited! Where will they be taking us?
The transit bus dropped us off at the registration area which was a mere 5 minute drive.
Arriving the grounds with my partycrew.
Up to this point, I predicted that this year’s Carlsberg ‘Where’s the Party? 2013 might most probably boast an aviation theme or incorporate in-flight characteristics to the party. Its tell-tale signs led me up to this assumption.
Goodie bags with neck travel-pillows, earplugs and eye-masks.
Chartering a transit bus bearing an airplane icon.
Hearing the familiar airport jingle
A welcome announcement by a female disembodied voice.
What else could it be?
Upon seeing the cabin crew/air stewardess uniform on the usherettes,
I knew for certain that I had predicted this year’s theme correctly.
Then again, why wasn’t it held close to the airport if we were to be travelling somewhere (like we did last year)?
Hmmm.. maybe we aren’t going to be travelling anywhere this year then.
Konzy and I after receiving our “flight tickets”.
BestiePam and I about to enter the party showgrounds.
And we were off!
Soon, it was confirmed that Carlsberg ‘Where’s the Party? 2013’ was all happening at Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS). No, MAEPS wasn’t only the first location to assemble.
It was THE LOCATION – the very answer to Where’s the Party?
Though the location was no where as impressive as its predecessors, Golden Palm Tree Resort in Gold Coast Sepang (2011) and Hard Rock Hotel in Penang (2012), I was certain (and hopeful!) that this year’s party would be just as fun as the one held in Carlsberg Brewery in Shah Alam (2011).
After all, it doesn’t necessarily need to be in a resort hotel to ensure a good party in motion.
Good job in keeping the suspense on the high this entire time!
I was amazed when I saw the the giant signboard and entrance; very akin to the typical ones you see at airports!
WELL DONE
What’s even cooler, they had makeshift metal detector booths set up with “airport officials”
stationed to “scan” our bodies for any metal or weaponry before “boarding” our ‘flight”.
It’s the little things and effort paid attention to in enhancing a theme of a party, that makes me happy.
I loved how they utilized every opportunity to heighten our party experience from the beginning – a sign of a great night ahead I hope?
Cabin crew offering us cans of Carlsberg
The elevated DJ booth, resembling an airplane
Yup, the entire party was full-on, every bit of an aviation theme.
My partycrew and I walked to the first thing we saw – the games station.
Shot before playing.
This game was fairly interesting!
It was an action-memory game and we were supposed to imitate the airport runway security too.
Evidently I was having fun jumping LOL.
Final showdown between me and bestiePam as everyone else got kicked out LOL
Us players on the “airport runway”!
Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to play all the other games such as Loud Ludo, No-Sigh Flight, Turbalance and Safety Slide as I was asked to leave the game zone and head to the press conference which was to begin soon.
Ushered into the “departure hall” for the Press Conference.
Inside, I figured another reason why Carlsberg adopted the aviation theme.
It’s probably because winners will stand a chance to win themselves an opportunity to fly to Europe for the global ‘Where’s the Party?’ 2013 where Axwell will be performing. Hence the whole emphasis on a flight experience.
Isn’t that cool?
There was an enormous Antonov airplane inside the vicinity of the rave zone
I heard you could actually climb up and sit inside the cockpit to check it out! Dang, wish I’d known earlier!
But at the very least, I managed to get a picture with the propellers!
That still counts as something, doesn’t it?
The Managing Directors of Carlsberg Malaysia & Carlsberg Singapore making their grand entrance!
They kicked off the press conference in full swing
Mr. Henrik Anderson giving us, the media a warm welcome
Up till this point, I was still in high spirits. How can I not? I’m sure you can tell from the video above.
The amazing set-up, the whole ‘jet-set’ theme, the games – it was basically the entire initial excitement of the party that got me hungry for more of this year’s instalment!
….. until the line-up was announced.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not putting these fellas down; all I’m saying is that most media around me, including myself, was a little puzzled as to why this year’s line up was a far cry from last year’s eclectic entertainment.
During the interview session, a few from the media had also asked what was the reason behind the choice of this year’s line-up, being very different from last year’s.
However Carlsberg did an excellent job in presenting the line-up to us in airport shuttles!
First of the lot, popular local stand-up comedian, Douglas Lim
I was thrilled to have him as part of the line-up!
Local DJ Eva T
Eva T giving a short speech
Local DJ Funkzu
Offbeat rappers and singers, Nine Lives
3AM in the Valley, Big Skrptz from Australia and Joel Turner
MC Derrick and DJ Inquisitive
DJs Class and Ming Ming
German DJ Miss Nine
These girls got all the men wolf-whistling!
Korean ‘K-Pop’ girl band, Sweety.
And finally… headliners Swedish Dub House duo Cazzette
Tonight’s entertainment.
The view of the stage from afar
Funnyman Douglas Lim took the stage and cracked his usual arsenal of rib-tickling jokes up his sleeve!
Best part was when he sang his own rendition expressing his hatred for K-Pop
of popular Cantopop song, Beyond’s Hoi Fut Tin Hung.
It was my second time listening to that song now. I freakin’ love it!
Being Cantonese myself, and also despising the K-Pop craze, I could totally relate to his song!
For K-Poppers, don’t take offence, it’s just satire.
Nine Lives on stage
They performed a good deal of classic rock and pop
My partycrew and I only stayed ’til mid of Nine Lives’ performance, before we headed out for a breath of fresh air, games and for a much anticipated massage.
To our disappointment, by the time we got out at 9PM, all the games’ booths and also the massage booth was already shut.
What on earth? We were barely in there for an hour and once we came out, it was a shame that all the fun, games and massages were over. I remembered back in 2011, the games and massages went on all night!
The iDarts booth was the only games booth that was open.
We had fun playing this, at least!
The view of the stage from the crowd
It was well designed, it boasted a strong audio system, stage lighting, with both laser and pyro effects but ummm… the LED balloon container could do with a little more creativity as it looked like a giant corncob defying gravity, dangling in the middle of nowhere.
Rather out of place, no?
For their fourth time hosting Carlsberg ‘Where’s the Party?’ series of parties, MCs of the night
Patricia Knudsen and Joey G were looking very fine in their pilot uniforms.
The ‘jet-set’ theme was kept alive throughout the party. After seeing the ushers dressed as air stewards
and air stewardesses, it was only natural to expect the hosts to be donning aviation uniforms as well!
DJ Eva T on the decks
She was good, as usual, but most of us were wondering why the DJ booth was
errected in a way that her back was facing the majority of the crowd
When we adjourned from the Press Conference, we were told that there was a free flow of food served.
But as we made our way to the food section, we could hear varying complaints of “OMG the food sucks” rather audibly from the crowd. We ignored the tell-tale signs, and instead, decided to try it out and judge it for ourselves – to our utter dismay.
This year’s meal : pre-packeted food.
As glad as we were to chomp down something (gotten really hungry after a long day!), we were appalled when we saw and tasted this year’s preparation of the food.
In the past three instalments of ‘Where’s the Party?’, a sumptous buffet spread of delectable local and international cuisines, various courses, comprising the sweet and savoury, appetizers, mains, soups, desserts and what’s more, with chefs present to cook our meals right before our eyes. I’m not even joking; it was that elaborate!
In comparison to those dinners which were marvellously catered, this year’s dinner was a huge letdown.
In plastic pre-packed packets of tasteless and very bland Nasi Lemak, Bee Hoon, Nuggets, Burger and Satays.
We deliberately tried out ALL the food on the table but none even came close. Who are the caterers???
The only thing decently edible were the satays – the only ones which vanished each time the refills came.
At least we had lots and lots of Carlsberg to go around to make up for it.
One of the main redemptions of this party was that the number of guests doubled from last years ‘Where’s the Party?’.
I bumped into heaps and heaps of my buddies! T’was great to see them and catch up. Cue the pictures!
Unfortunately, like many others who left, we did not stay for the hoardes of free lok-lok steamboat trucks when the party was officially over.
But that was a fantastic surprise for those who stayed till the very end, no doubt!
My biggest regret is that my partycrew and I probably did not stay long enough to feel the heat of the party which seemed to pick up quickly after 11pm (I was there since 5pm!). Neither did I manage to catch Cazette, which I was so keen on raving to!
I might not be feeling as live wired nor into the night as I was very, very much hoping to be.
I wouldn’t say it was a horrendous nor bad party, it just didn’t live up to the high expectations we had for this year (especially after setting such high standards in the previous years) and underdelivered its claims.
Leaving as early as 10pm with mixed feelings about this years party
We had to queue up, as many others were also waiting for the shuttle bus to leave the premises
I’ve looked forward to Carlsberg Where’s the Party? 2013 for months on end and was pretty geared up for an epic night. Thus, It was no surprise when I was pretty disappointed as to why I didn’t quite enjoy myself as much as I thought I would.
I guess I really wasn’t feeling it tonight.
But we all made sure we adhered to Carlsberg’s responsible drinking and safe driving advocacy.
So to answer the question posed – YES, we did have a designated driver He is right in front of me!
In a nutshell, I must say that in comparison to the previous three Carlsberg Where’s the Party?’ versions that I have attended, this year’s party is by far the worse of the lot. From track record, I jolly well know that Carlsberg and its crew do posess monstrous capabilities to throw us kick-ass parties!
Better up your game!
Despite this year’s disapointment, I do look forward to next year’s Carlsberg ‘Where’s the Party?’ and what it has in store for us!
Check out the previous ‘Where’s the Party?’ event i’ve been to last year.

For more information on Carlsberg Where’s the Party 2013, you can:
Before I begin, I'd like to warn all partygoers that Carlsberg's 'Where's the Party?' (WTP) is certainly not for the faint hearted, tired-after-one-hour, wallflower or the I-need-my-sleep kind of reveller.
Question: Have you got your battery packs all recharged yet?
Premised on the unknown, Carlsberg's 'Where's the Party?' is for those who are bold enough to take on a party of epic proportions because long hours of suspense and surprises beckons this Saturday!
Trust me, the wait is worth it.
Jessicat at last year's Carlsberg 'Where's the Party?'
2013 marks Carlsberg's forth installment since the first Where's the Party and we can only expect another bigger and bolder party this year.
I remember how I was taken for a long, mysterious ride with 1200 other invited guests from Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore for hours down the highway, up the mountains, around the winding roads just to experience Carlsberg's beachfront extravaganza!
The mystery was unraveled as we finally arrived and stepped into the famed Hard Rock Hotel on the shores of Penang island as the the party ground for Carlsberg's first ever tri-nation 'Where's the Party?'!
My invitation to this year's Carlsberg 'Where's the Party?'!
I know what this entails. Racking my brains for the answer, oh yes.
My being clueless on the venue and every other aspect, yet completely hyped about the endless possibilities that the unknown holds as the journey progresses.
Konzy and I tired after the long travels but energized once again
as we imprinted our feet onto the sandy partyground!
Ready for a flashback on last year's Carlsberg 'Where's the Party?'
I definitely don't need to be reminded of how terrific is was; but for memories sake, let the good times roll!
Water rides at night!

Beach raves! Oh how I love!
By the end of the night, we found ourselves likened to beached whales on the shore.
My vision became exactly this after all that hard partying and madness. LOL
After a year-long break, I'm more than ready to take on this year's Carlsberg 'Where's the Party?'.
Are you?
Remember, what happens at WTP, stays at WTP!
While Carlsberg's lips remain tightly sealed, I only know that 'Where's the Party?' will take off on the 6th of July 2013, which makes it this Saturday. Only three more sleeps to Asia's most unique and raved about party!
Aside from that, I can also tell you that Henrik Juel AndersenHenrik Juel Andersen, new Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia, and Carlsberg Malaysia's Marketing Director, Juliet Yap, will play host to the epic party together with an array of international artists and DJs.

Who will be our entertainment of the night?
It's expected to be worldly this time around, with stars from the local and global party stage congregating under one roof. I trust their taste in music and performers, as Carlsberg always delivers on its promise of making it an epic experience. It better not dissapoint!
But the main question remains a mystery… where will it be this 2013? We shall see.
