CHIVAS: Akon Freedom Beach Concert | Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach

November 1, 2009 by thejessicat

Nyahahaha.. looks like Akon was the most preferred choice in the end, when I asked in this entry. Thanks for the immediate response loves! Okay as promised, here’s the lowdown on the R&B HipHop artist Akon’s showstopping gig :

beautiful
Love the lyrics to his song ‘Beautiful’

I had a trip in Singapore cut short and flew back to Malaysia on Saturday, just in time for Akon’s gig. Now, I wouldn’t miss that for the world. After all, he is to date, one of the dopest artists I reckon – producing and singing so many of my fave club anthems. Yup, huge fan speaking here!

Headed right down to Sunway Lagoon with Erin, who was my guest for this event.
Funny how we darted back and forth from the carpark to the entrance twice whilst chomping down our to-go dinners in between!

Photobucket
Myself & Erin

To kick-start the event in style, singer Nikki blew the crowd away with her powerful vocals whilst Caprice, our local HipHop homeboy melted the ladies hearts’. I could remember Nikki from being one of the finalists of Malaysian Idol (I forgot which season LOL)

Emcees of the night was Hunny Madu & Nadia from Fly.Fm and to be frank, Hunny did most of the talking while Nadia responded a tad too little. Hmm but ANYWAY the duo hyped up the crowd to ensure Akon could hear them beckoning him to come upstage – FAST!

Photobucket
Extremely TALL man spotted!
(he was prolly on some big burly man’s shoulders)

The moment he came upstage, all of us at the VIP Island put down our Chivas on the rocks and dashed to the front to take in a better view of Akon, the man himself.

He began with his older songs from the 1st few songs I recognized him for. ‘Ghetto’ especially. I recall singing along to it when I was only 14 – 15 years old. Sadly, he didn’t sing ‘Mr. Lonely’! I absolutely love that song and apparently my folks fancies it too.

konvicted
One of his fans even gave him a jersey bearing
“KONVICTED”
on it! Talk about passion, boyyyyy!

Throughout the entire performance, he was practically stripping. Woots! Now now, don’t get your thoughts infiltrated by my words. Heh. He was just removing his tops piece by piece to gradually reveal a drool-worthy of a muscular body.

Check it out :

Clothing #1

lonely

Birthday suit number #3
oops don’t take off your pants too!
We know you’re sporting a rather fine CK boxers 🙂

Was also there partying with Andy, another fellow photohunter with 10 years more experience than I have strapped to my belt. We were shooting almost all night but hmmm.. but check out our flushed faces. Blame the free flow of Chivas on the rocks! Woots

andyme
Where photos come alive!
And thanks to this awesome event by Martensia events, Chivas Regal and Sunway, I also met some new friends, who were equal die-hard fans of Akon as I was! Had a good time partying with you peeps too

Photobucket

The strangest part was when Erin nudged me when I was sitting very still on the rocks, asking me to observe Akon’s lips and try to match it with the songs that were amplified from the speakers.

Photobucket
in deep concentration
Thanks for the candid Andy! 🙂

Only then I realized that he could probably be lip-syncing at certain points of time. Hmmm.. I’ll leave that to your imagination then, but let’s just hope he doesn’t pull a Sean Kingston on us yeh?

Photobucket


Akon still rocks our
socks crocs anytime!

oh and he has VERY CLEAN SHAVEN ARMPITS YO.

He was amazing with a capital A during this song! Trying not to be controversial, he shoved the microphone at the crowd after singing “I wanna…” to finish words to his sentence

fucku
And let’s just say,
the crowd didn’t finish it with the radio-edit version
MUAHAHAHAHA

He whipped the crowd into raptures when he pumped up ‘Dangerous’ and ‘Smack That’! The songs ‘Just Dance’ and ‘What You Got’ by his proteges Lady Gaga and Colby O’Donis just proved his versatility even more when he sang that too!

It was amazing with a capital A when he began to crowd surf all the way to the very end just to get to the fans who were so faraway from the stage. Security tried to stop him, but he reprimanded them in fronta everyone!

Photobucket
SECURITY! STOP TRYING TO PULL ME DOWN!
I WANNA GET TO MUH PEOPLE!

And he did manage to, with the strong support and relentless fanbase to back him up (literally!) It was a real heart-rending sight to see him struggle, trying to avoid falling straight to the ground. When he reached his destination, he raised his arms in utmost glory above roaring cheers…. for 5 seconds.

YES YOU GUESSED IT.
HE KAPLUNKED RIGHT TO THE GROUND!

akon

Poor Akon – hope you didn’t bump your head or something! You were brilliant tonight, now if only there was an encore performance! We were all yelling our heads off for it

Halloween Zombie Crawl | Changkat Bukit Bintang

October 31, 2009 by thejessicat

roar

WISHING ALL MY DEAREST READERS
A VERY GRUESOME HALLOWEEN 2009!

Yesterday night was awesome! As Halloween will always remain my favorite festival of the year, I still wanted to make it a point to celebrate it with ghoulish hype! But this year round, I won’t be able to join any Halloween parties as I will be at the All American Rejects concert in Bukit Jalil.

me
But WHO says I still can’t celebrate Halloween on the eve?
*evil laughter*

But yeah, I know I’m a little too mild this year as compared to all the previous years of dress-ups. All because I joined in the fun here immediately after 2 events. Obviously can’t be a zombie already at these functions right 🙁 ? The Malaysia Airlines bloggers’ dinner session and a premier Spanish brand, Desigual’s outlet launch in Pavillion. Will blog about it soon! 🙂

will
Wil and I

Okay, back to today’s entry! Courtesy of NTV7 Breakfast Show cutie, Will Quah, we had some dinner in a swanky restaurant & bar with the others and later proceeded with a zombie crawl along the entire stretch of Changkat Bukit Bintang in our blood and tattered clothes!

deranged

hallowsAlign Center

We drank blood, attacked cars, thumped at restaurant glass doors and joined in the crowd for some drink in each and every bar we could get our pale fingers on! It was great that most of the other party people joined in the Halloween spirit and even wanted to take pictures with us

photogs

But my babe Erin, didn’t fancy the idea of getting her face or clothes smeared with bloody goo when we literally pinned her down to force her to! 🙁 (there’s always next year) 😛

limb

gals

Aight, I gotta run! Will be having a round table session with the All American Rejects in the afternoon followed by their gig at night. So come back for me tomorrow 🙂

Crazy hairstyles! | A Cut Above BSC launch

October 22, 2009 by thejessicat

I arrived rather nervously, at a highway I’ve never taken to Bangsar before. Slowly but surely my car halted to a stop at a traffic light and I immediately spotted BSC, Bangsar Shopping Complex on my far left.

Courtesy of Xavier Mah, the PR & Communications Manager of the premier and leading hairstyling center and academy, A Cut Above, I was extended an invitation to their grand opening.

Prepare for some wicked and bewildering looks of the century! 🙂

sinister
Whoa!

The grand opening of today’s event marks the start of the largest A Cut Above outlet – ever! With an abundance of hairstyling space and private rooms, tools & equipments, staff and well-trained craftsmanship from A Cut Above, this new flagship store is something to look forward to!

frontpano
The front entrance

Right before the press conference, I checked out the entire interior of this new outlet. And I love it! Such a modern feel yet never leaving the key elements of a hair salon should resemble. Here’s only one part of it though, the hairwash section :

frontal

From what I noticed, they use leading brands such as Kerastase
and Loreal while servicing their clients

rear

Whilst I was still exploring, I managed to catch the preperations and last minute touch-ups in progress. Whoaa for big hairdos!

shady
Must be for the hair show later, I reckon

preps
Dayang Nurfaizah getting her hair all stylo-mylo
before making her appearance

I hung out for a while walking around and chatting with some familiar faces (in the media line, you’re bound to keep meeting the same people over and over again!) when I bumped into Winnie Loo. Without her, A Cut Above wouldn’t have been proudly standing here till today.

winne
She’s the queen bee yo
Founder and MD of A Cut Above!

Much respect goes to her. She started this empire from scratch when she was young and has since spread its wings to many outlets in the Klang Valley and KL City.

tagline

The press conference soon began and we were ushered to another room to have a seat. This was where she and Xavier shared the lowdown on the opening of this spanking new outlet. When I threw the question, I asked if she was still very much involved in the haircutting/hairstyling part where she 1st begun, despite climbing so high in this industry and already being on the manegerial level.

milestones
She mentioned that she was “still very hands on and even
personally cuts the hair of some of her clients upon request.”

I liked the part where she stated that despite having thousands and thousands of staff, she “will never put down her scizzors, why give the fun to someone else?” Well said, babe!

creek

Moments later before the event officially begun, I spotted even more familiar faces and as usual, we camwhored over some drinks, a dinner buffet and yes.. Haagen Daaz ice-cream!

To grace this event, over 40 celebrities were seen mingling about as well. A notable pair being the one directly above. Anita Sarawak, the diva and her Caucasian husband, now acknowledged as Mahathir. I like how they match perfectly well at every event, from the hair colour (were both blonde previously!) to the apparel they have on their backs.

officiate
The official ribbon-cutting ceremony!

emcee
Both, the emcees Baki and Aishah Sinclair
did a swell job in hyping up the crowd!

The 1st to go on stage was a duo of Dennis Lau, the amazing musician and Shafinaz Selamat, the Malaysian songbird. Together they cooked up a ravishing duet performance of both vocals and instrumental elements!

duet
As soulful as ever


What really cracked me up during the following performance was that the singer was in her own world singing while Winnie Loo was also in her own element spraying the former’s hair!

niche
In their very niche of life!
Such an entertaining performance

Before we knew it, dramatic music was heard blasting from the speakers and everyone huddled by the red carpet to watch the fiery showdown of eccentric hairdos of the century.

Such creative hairdos really enthralled all of us. Coupled with tight fitting latex suits and heavy make up, this one’s perfect for a galactic battle!

Singing ‘One Night Only’ was Nikki, a former Malaysian Idol finalist. I could hardly recognize her as the last time I watched it was when I was still in high school. My my, look how much she progressed in terms of vocals and stage presense! Woots

nikki

Last but never the least, came buddy Shawn the human beatbox to crank up the after party. Who’s not to love him? He’s our small little fellow who can bellow a herd of wilderbeasts away!

Beatboxing one of his trademark performances,

The party ended with more photo taking, mingling and fooling around. I had a great time at the event and well, it was a blast! From the food, the warm company, the performances and everything… kudos to A Cut Above!

congrats

You’ll see me back here very soon, Imma dye back my red streaks of hair. It’s time for a touch up! Oh but.. um.. not.. like this afro though!

Xberry Xpax Party! Blackberry Curve 8520 launch

October 15, 2009 by thejessicat

Now that the craze is on, I can’t wait for my Berry to arrive! Anyhoos, I was down at Republic, Sunway Pyramid to attend the Xberry party – the official launch of the Blackberry Curve 8520 by XPax, Celcom.

gshot14
There were tweets about the Xberry party
being displayed on the LCD screen in real-time!

For that night only, that pretty Blackberry Curve 8520 was sold for RM 888 only! Together with Xpax’s package of course. But hey, don’t fret if you missed this chance because there’s another good bargain for RM 998 + a RM50 reload from now till 15th November 2009.

xberry

When I arrived, I headed down to our VVIP area for the free-flow of drinks. The party soon began with buddy Shawn Lee, as the human beatboxer to kick start the party!

shawn
If you’ve been following my blog,
you’ll know I mentioned him before!

Rin and I loves him THISSSSSSS MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Okay, you can’t see the gravity of the lurrrveee in the previous sentence but we were screaming our heads off during his performance

gshot16
Putcha hands up for Shawn Lee!

After his booming performance, I got him to take a piccie with us. One for the road! You’ll go far in this musical career of yours – ya got us all to back you up buddy.

gshot12
we *heart* him!

Next up came Joe Flizzow, our pioneer of local HipHop aka the Kanye West of Malaysia. He gave his usual energetic and upbeat performance with lotsa rap, breakbeats and breakdancers.

Kartello Hellllllloooooooooo!
During his performance, the other pals and I began camwhoring – attempting to get Joe in the background LOL

Joe’s not in the background again!
Okay, so we failed to get Joe in the background. But anyway, here he is still pumping the night away with HipHop yo! I can always remember him during the TooPhat days.

handsup
He drove the crowd wild with those familiar hiphop beats yo!
During his performance, I grabbed some dinner with a few others. The meal portion was so huge at Republic until Hong couldn’t even finish his pasta. That’s where I came in – but still unfinished after the 2 of us ate!

But KY finished his in a jiffy!

After dinner

Joe was still performing and I noticed something pretty darn interesting. I caught him scratching/digging/toying/adjusting/whatever down south during his performance!

itch
Hmm.. that doesn’t look very nice
ITCHY AH?

Next on the line-up was Arabyrd shaking her booty with her rap numbers and Lap Sap spinning the decks. But I was already inside Republic having some rad drinks with the rest already. Could hear then from inside though!

I then went our for a short breather and bumped into Shawn again. He yelled, “Jesssss!!! Come camwhore!” and there we go again!

Back inside, I was fascinated by the lighting inside Republic, as those dancing and flashing laser lights resembled splatters of Nickelodeon paint on the guests.

Interesting!
Let’s play some more!

Oh and… apparently I failed to get Joe in the background earlier on, yeah? But *cough* look who’s partying now? (Of all cameras, you just HAD to look at another person’s camera huh Joe?)

On a final note, I can’t wait for my berry to arrive! Ah sweeeeeeeeeeeeet 🙂
1st thing I’ll do is to pimp it with black-red and bling it

Digi Birthday Bash @ Barcelona Sunway

October 11, 2009 by thejessicat
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.

shake
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.

gshot1

huge present & lady gaga

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!

gshot

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.

drum

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!

altogether

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

shakeit

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.

emcee

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!

windmill

enticed

6step

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!

hosts

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?

bromance
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?

lol
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.

gshot6gshot9

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 :

vivacious

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.

growl
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.

away
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.

joey
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!

gshot7
Can you feel the heat?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THE
OCTOBER, NOVEMBER & DECEMBER
BABIES
