 UPDATE

THE FIRST LOCATION IS REVEALED! TO ALL GUESTS OF

CARLSBERG WHERE'S THE PARTY,

OUR MEETING POINT WILL BE IN MAEPS, SERDANG! 

————————————————————–

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.

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?'! 

Wrote a bit about it last year! Read it – here.

And today, my doorbell rang. Guess what it was?

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!

We had Kelis of 'Milkshake' fame right in the same room as us!

To top it all off, ice-cold Carlsberg flowed all night long. Who could ask for more?

Cheers!

French DJ Norman Doray took the night by storm with his house and progressive-house tracks!

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 Andersen Henrik 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.

Last year's shower of Carlsberg balloons.

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.

Final photo before the four of us left!

But here's your chance not to miss this year's edition! 

ZOMG I cannot believe that I was there the entire day!

That amounts to almost 10 hours in total yo. That's more than double the amount of time I spent at last year's!

Relaxing on the grass

For those not in the know, Urbanscapes is an annual all-day creative arts festival, which celebrates all things artsy-fartsy! From performing arts, fine art, modern art, music, lifestyle, retail and practically EVERYTHING that spells fun!

You should totally check out what I blogged on last year's Urbanscapes '09.

I was an Urbanscapes virgin back then, not anymore! 😀

So what exactly kept me occupied throughout the whole day this time?

I shopped like a rockstar, ate like a porkchop (no, wait. Porkchops can't eat), relaxed on the grass by the lake with ma buddies, photographed almost everything that caught my eye, watched so many fun performances and more!

Dug out lotsa cute goodies in so many blogshops!

Key necklace + Red bracelet by Soak Republic

In total, I spent 4 hours shopping in each and every blogshop store at their 'marketplace' zone including those of Tongue In Chic's.

2 hours were spent eating *exorbitantly priced* lunch, tea and dinner within the vicinity.

Another 3 hours were spent exploring the entire grounds within Urbanscapes and checkin' out creative display booths and such!

The remaining 1 hour was well, spent idling, sitti and taking breathers with the rest.

This is the wooden house that 300+ people managed to carry all the way here!

It took them 3hours and although they encountered lotsa obstacles mid way, they made it

Promise the full coverage on Urbanscapes tomorrow! Need to hit the sack now, hehe. 😀 Heading to IKEA for lunchie early with a buddy tomorrow

Mwah!
