Β
Yay finally!
I wanted to publish this blogpost earlier but decided to wait till the official photos were out by Johnnie Walker too!
Β
And I’ve been collecting other photos that I was tagged in on Facebook by my friends too.
Sorry if this post took a while! I promise it’ll be worth the wait. Teehee.Β
Β
So yes, I arrived at the premises with my invitation
Β
Oh and I absolutely loved how they crafted the invitations. Such a classy feel!Β
It was in the form of a gold cuff/bangle in a beautiful shiny, black box.
Β
Thanks for the photo, Minny!
Β
They also gave a gold necklace to the ladies(which you will see me wearing) and a gold tie-pin for the gegentlemen as doorgifts.
Β
This was the location – 32 Mansion – of which was decorated in a really elaborate manner!
Β
So, are you ready to party with Johnnie Walker?
I sure am!Β
Β
At the entrance
Β
Camwhored Β for a bit before stepping inside the Black Circuit
Oh and you can see the gold necklace rather clearly in this piccie!
Β
The moment I entered the mansion, I was in awe.
They’ve transformed the insides into something so magnificent!
Β
Was served Johnnie Walker cocktails the very moment I entered
Β
Decided to give ALL the cocktails a taste!
The ones in the front row: Gold Rush | 2nd row: Black 75 | final row was my favourite, Black Circuit!
Β
There were booths available for the whiskey tasting!Β
Guests were taught the RIGHT way of savouring itΒ
Β
And no, the trick is not to gulp it straight down….
Teehee.
Β
The bar where mixologists were doing their thang!
Β
I never miss an opportunity against the photowall π π
Thanks for the photo, Jun Fook!
Β
There were a couple of booths for guests to ‘check-in’ our location to Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare too
After I was done mingling and drinking at the foyer, I explored further around the mansion
Β
And found my table!
Β
Thank you Johnnie Walker, for giving me a table and having it strategically right smack in the middle of the dance floor, facing the DJ console too!Β
Β
They made my day even before the party started! π π
Β
Before we knew it, emcees of the night Hanson and Hannah kick-started the event.
Β
Lights, camera, action!
Β
They gave us a very warm welcome and introduced the 1st DJ of the evening.
Hey homeboy DJ Reeve, do your thang & spin that shizz on the decks for us tonight! π
Β
DJ Reeve from Malaysia!
Β
My close knitted homies came soon after. Was so glad to see them again!
As I spend most of my days in KL, I always look forward to our hang outs everytime I come back to Penang
Β
There’s more of us, but they’re laaaaate! π
You’ll see them in a bit
Β
My babes and I. Β Loves!Β
Β
Apart from my very own homies & other bloggers, I bumped into friends from the industry too
Β
Throughout the event guests were served not only free-flow of Johnnie Walker Black Label, but also a torrent of delightful chocolates!Β A delicious assortment of white, dark and milk chocolates kept coming at me as though beckoning me to have more.
And you all know how much of a sucker I am for chocolates. Simply couldn’t resist!
Β
Say whaaaaaad? π
Β
Oh yeah. Chocolates galore. A generous amount was served to us!
Β
I was made a very happy girl yet again.
Yes, chocolates make me happy, if you must know π
Β
Apart from all those awesome-pawsome things about the party so far, was the fact that I got to rekindle with some of my childhood and high school bunch of tfriends all over again.
Heck, I’ve not seen some of them ever since we left school!
Β
Penang gurls in the haus!
Β
Girl Guides of the same patrol back in 2005!
Β
Classmates in primary school and squash mates in high school!
Β
Convent girls of 2006/2007 all grown upΒ
Β
More of my fellow Penang peeps!
Β
Wootwoot
I was psyched how the Black Circuit party brought together so many familiar faces; especially ones whom I’ve lost touch with. I was practically fluttering around to many different tables and coincidentally bumping into more and more old friends!
And Johnnie Walker was perfect as our toast to friendship!Β
Β
Β
Oh and ya know what’s also great during the event?
The fact that polaroids were given out to remember the night. Absolute WIN!Β Β
Β
I’ve mentioned numerous times before; a party is never complete without a photo souvenir for keeps
That makes all the difference; compared to the usual digital photos uploaded online
Β
We kept downing our drinks; but never fail to stay within limits.Β
As we keep in mind to drink responsibly – as advocated by Johnnie Walker!
Β
The emcees took to the dance floor again to “check” on us and how we were doing! π π
Β
Β
Also, the next DJ was announced. DJ FM from our neighbouring country, Singapore
Β
It’s your turn to crank up the volume, deejay!Β
Β
From the window, to the wall
This party’s jumpin’ till tomorrow!
Β
We drink the whole bottle but it ain’t over!
Errrbody’s jumping π
Β
Day-O, me say Day-O
Daylight come and we don’t wanna go home π
Β
We were the 1st ones to hit the dance floor, babeh!
Β
Josiah and I π
Geez duuuude, your complexion is way better than mine haha! *jealous*
Β
With buddy Calvin
Β
With my babe, Minny!Β
Β
Oh yes, another family photo of my homies!
(Still incomplete LOL)
Β
Ren and I!
Β
Let’s let’s let’s get it started in here!Β
Flanked by Eric and Jun Fook
Β
Emcees were back on the dancefloor!
I honestly couldn’t remember what they were saying cos I was having too much fun at the time.
Β
But I jolly well knew when they welcomed the 3rd and final DJ of the night!
Β
Let’s take it to the skies, DJ Teemaree!!!Β
Β
Read about my interview with her:Β here
Had a chance to sit down for 15 minutes for a short but enlightening interview π Check it out yo
Β
Another family photo with the homies with DJ Teemaree spinning in the background!
Β
Bumped into EVEN MORE friends that night!
Β
Eric who pimps my Blackberry!
Β
With Chia Li!
OMG I DID NOT JUST DO THE ASIAN “5” POSE. What’s wrong with me?! -__-” argh!
Β
DJ keep it movin!
I raved so hard when she played the electro-house tracks.Β
Hell to the yeah!Β
Β
Boss Selva and I
Ahhh…. Back in the days when I was the photographer for the Mois!
Β
Smile for the camera! π
Β
Two very tired (and slightly tipsy) bloggers
Β
THE PARTY WAS STILL ON FULL SWING TILL THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING!
Β
Now that’s what I call a flippin’ awesome party.
No party shall end before midnight, in my books!Β
Β
And most definitely not a night like Johnnie Walker Black Circuit parties!
Β
My highlight of the night: I rubbed my eyes twice/thrice when I saw my best friend Joyce in front of me
Β
She was supposed to be my plus one for the party; something came up so she had to pull a raincheck on me
Imagine my surprise when I saw her – with her invitation that I saved for her? Geez. How did she get it?
Β
Found out that one of my homies took out her invitation from my box and passed it to her outside!
Apparently I did not notice while I was partying the skies down and my cellphone battery died on me
Β
So, finally, FAMILY PHOTO COMPLETE!
(Except a few who weren’t at the party)
Β
GUESS WHAT!!?
Also found out it was DJ Teemaree’s birthday!Β
Β
So we’ve come to the end of this lengthy post.Β I hope it was worth the read!
Seriously, what’s there not to love about this party but it’s entirety? I’ve said all I needed to say and….
Β
I give it a 5 star rating; very apt with its 5 star standard!Β
Β
I went home with memories of arguably the most fantastic party of my life ever since I returned from Australia
Β
Thank you once again, Johnnie Walker for bringing us an amazing night.Β
The Black Circuit Penang night was stellar; more than honoured to be your guest! See you around at the next party!
Β
Keep Walking, you sexy beast of a Striding Man π
Β Much love, TheJessicat
