We’re in a little bit of a lull between Bond movies, aren’t we?

So I’ve heard that the latest Bond movie has been delayed to 2020 instead. 🙁

But hey, isn’t Daniel Craig worth the wait? Pretty sure we’ve all watched him in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and of course, Spectre.

We know that Danny Boyle, best known for Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire, is directing and writing, as well as that it’s almost definitely Daniel Craig’s last go as 007. But guess what?

Due to the former’s departure, we’ve got a new director now – Cary Fukunaga.

Really, it could make or break Craig’s tenure when we look back. So far, Casino Royale and Skyfall have been regarded as two of the finest Bond films ever made – but Quantum Of Solace and Spectre were seen as at least mild disappointments.

Which was your fave? Mine was Skyfall. 😎

“Bond 25” as the next instalment is temporarily being called, can break the tie, so to speak.

Right now we really don’t know much about the movie though.

We can guess at its style, and Boyle has said that the #TimesUp movement will inspire aspects of the film. Otherwise, though, we have no idea what we’re going to get. And that almost makes it more fun to go ahead and start kicking off speculation about who might play 007 when Craig is gone.

I have some thoughts about this…

This won’t be your typical movie review. The reason why I’m even talking about this movie today is because I’ve always been particularly captivated by Egyptian culture. So here you go, dedicated to ancient Egypt.

Anyone who’s been a long-time reader of my blog would definitely know!

19 year old Jessicat at Universal Studios, Singapore.

I’m not very sure how I acquired this interest in everything related to ancient Egypt and it’s hieroglyphic designs but I think it could’ve possibly grown from constant exposure to my Uncle Mike’s Egyptian-themed living room.

From there, I began to harbour curiosity & fascination at this civilization of wonder that I started to read up several encyclopaedias (yes, I could’ve Googled it but Google’s search engine didn’t exist when I was 10 years old) about the Pyramids of Giza and The Great Sphinx.

Read on for more of my love for Egypt!

 Yes – the rumours ARE INDEED TRUE!

Remember my previous post about Paris Hilton coming to Malaysia next weekend?

Property developers Mammoth Empire has confirmed that they will be holding a star-studded preview of the City of Lifestyle & Entertainment for their brand new Empire City in Damansara Perdana.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of a property developer throwing a party as big as this!

The 2.5 million square feet of net lettable retail area, 8 corporate towers and office suites, 3 international 5 star hotels and a cinema themed hotel are built around the 5 pillars that are at the core of Empire City; Design, Art, Music, Performance and Culture.

Bringing these pillars to life will be an array of performers and artists, ranging from the renowned Korean group, 2AM, to flamboyant speed painters, as well as the traditional with a twist in the form of an LED dragon dance.

In addition, special performances from Paris Hilton, Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas, and Australian tenor, Mark Vincent, will enhance the international atmosphere created by the honoured guests and business owners flying in from across the globe.

Can’t wait to be among the first to check out fabulous new hotspot out…(almost) fresh off the concrete!

I have actually zoomed past Empire City many times while driving along the LDP highway and noticed that it is still under construction. Now that’s gonna be pretty cool, partying in a place as raw as that – I wonder how they’ll transform it for the night?

The Party of the Century will be an exclusive preview of the integrated development in a vibrant, artfully stylised world. Think of it like a housewarming party – only that this is not a house, it’s an entire township of its own!

I’ve also heard that included within Empire City will be a number of unique offerings, such as the cinematic world’s first multiprojection theatre, an Olympic-specification ice rink and stylized boulevards, like Asian Food Street, that will bring the international luxury feel to life for residents and visitors alike.

Now that will definitely be one of the most unique hangout spots KL has to offer. 

And guess what the theme of the celebration will be?

The roaring 1920’s! That means a whole lot of classic, glamorous and polished ‘The Great Gatsby’ style going around.

I’ve bought my dress and accessories already. Gotta stick to the theme and dress to kill!

Have you heard?

Paris Hilton, along with stars Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas, Australian tenor and winner of Australia’s Got Talent, Mark Vincentso, will be gracing the Malaysian stage in January – so I’ve heard from the grapevine.

So… Paris Hilton coming to Malaysia?

No surprise if you see her on our end of the globe, if you ask me.

She does, after all, have romantic-financial ties to our Malaysian tycoon, Jho Low. 

And if this is true, I wonder what her performance will be?

DJ-ing? Hmmm… in my (rather frank) opinion, let’s just hope that socialite sticks to she what she does best, eh? She should totally pop a few more champagne bottles and party it up with us!

Pretty sure she’d turn up the heat…

How many people in the world can attain the bragging rights to say
“I’ve partied with Paris Hilton. Have you?”

Also, imagine rubbing shoulders with her. Yes… just imagine.

Let’s admit it… she IS indeed a glamorously hot platinum-blonde bombshell.

And if the rumours of her debut in Malaysia is really, really true, you know, your star-signs have aligned and I could hook you up with a few exclusive, invite-only passes to the Party of the Century. 

Ladies! This could be you beside Paris Hilton:

I’m not gender biased!

Gentlemen, this could be you:

Yup. I’d definitely would want a selfie with Paris Hilton herself.

I’m not joking. Or maybe I am? I’m rather keen to go there myself too..

Because really, how often would you catch Paris Hilton in the flesh?

Actually, I do know why. 

After so many mixed and contrasting opinions all around the world about her DJ-ing,

I would honestly want to hear it and judge it for myself.

ARE YOU IN?

Stay tuned to find out how 20 of you can come along!
