I know, I know! Don't chastise me. This blogpost is late, tell me something I don't know LOL 

Many of you have been asking me about my Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Great Britain post.

Nadia & I at the official photowall, flanked by the usherettes

Guests and A-listers were in for a treat once again, at Johnnie Walker's VIP race party, as they threw their signature Black Circuit Lounge event – with a distinctly British twist this time!

I was excited to be flown to Penang again to attend Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Great Britain 

Read my previous adventures at Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Brazil & Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Penang

The flight was pleasant, with a slight turbulence but it felt like I traversed two different universes altogether.

I was sweating buckets whilst boarding the plane from KL due to its sweltering heatwave, blistering sun and humidity. But as I alighted the plane 45 minutes later in Penang, it was unbelievably, very cold as the heavy downpour soaked our backs and shoes 

That's Malaysian weather for you. Unpredictable. Tsktsktsk. 

Anyway, no matter. I was buzzing with excitement for tonight nonetheless! 

Arriving Penang International Airport & met the chauffeur.

As the dress code for tonight's event was 'British Glamour' I wanted to (as always!) stick as closely to the theme as possible. The event was aptly held simultaneously during the London Olympics hype as well!

So after some research…

I came dressed in a velvet red bowler hat, a trenchcoat, a classy long asymmetrical dress,

dark blue nailpolish, two floral rings, laced-up boots & a Union Jack handbag

Hope that worked! 

We were treated to international & local cuisine during the buffet dinner at Gurney Hotel.

Here are some of the dishes at the buffet spread!

There was also a carving station for grilled meat. Hello chefs!

After a fulfilling meal, guests were driven to Penang Turf Club – a historical racecourse built by the British – where the party was at.  

I was quite thrilled to see how the equestrian club as transformed into a party scene just for one night!

This way please

As expected, there were door greeters dressed as traditional London royal palace guards.

Men in uniforms never fail to make an impression on me. Hubba-hubba! 

Salute!

Took some piccies at the Johnnie Walker photowall with some friends! 

Bumped into buddy Ren at the entrance

One of the many suave ushers of the party

Whilst mingling at the entrance, I was asked to speak in front of the camera for the video footage of the event. I think I spoke about what I thought of the event thus far, what I see/feel and what I'm expecting from the party by the end of the night! 

Yadda yadda I go for the camera 

((STYLESHOT OF THE DAY))

Jessicat wears : Beige asymmetrical dress & Union Jack handbag from online stores |

Accessories by Diva | Velvet Bowler Hat in red by Deeper & Harder | Boots from a bazaar in Australia

Stepping inside the Black Circuit, I caught sight of many Formula 1 related merchandise, ones by their corporate partners McLaren Mercedes & Vodafone to be exact. 

Some of the stuff on display!

Being essentially a race party, there were F1 racing sound effects accompanying us along the corridor.

With every step I took, sharp-but-not-too-piercing sounds of BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! VROOOOOOOOOOM! of race-cars followed thereafter.

Watch out! The race-cars are hot on your heels!

Finally made my way into the arena.

It was really huge, quite an elaborately decorated interior & was already packed with guests!

The color scheme of the lighting changed periodically from almost all the colours of the rainbow!

The walls were also plastered with interesting visuals of Great Britain and its landmarks

Photobooths were in abundance everywhere.

This is just one of them –

Photoception. Took a photo of the photobooth taking a photo of me taking a photo of this moment LOL

Bumped into buddy Minny whilst I was inside.

She was working as one of the usherettes for the event and collected my signature to Join the Pact.

Minny & I 

Join the Pact? What's that?

As Johnnie Walker advocates responsible drinking, their worldwide social initiative was built around the message of : Winners Always Stay in Control.

Consumers were encouraged to pledge their signatures to Join the Pact to Never Drink & Drive. 

I've given my pledge!  

Kenny & I have JOINED THE PACT – what about you? Never Drink and Drive

because Winners Always Stay in Control 

Getting my drinks at the bar. Johnnie Walker's wide variety of cocktails surely kept me coming back for more

Kenny, Hui Wen and I at our table

Cindy & I. She kept getting more and more cocktails even before I could finish mine! 

Ringo & I. Cheers!

After a while, I found out that I had missed DJ DIrect's set. He came all the way from the USA and I didn't get to watch him?

Nnnnnnooooooooooooo! S'alright, I guess. Bet he got the partyball rolling pretty well 

DJane Geri on the decks

I managed to party to homegrown Malaysian spin artist DJane Geri.

One of our rising female DJs in the country elevated our moods with popular electro and hip hop tracks.

Spin it, babeh! 

She posed for the camera when I snapped! 

After DJane Geri's set, it was time for Taiwanese DJ RayRay.

She spun herself into the music scene when she was only 15 years old. Not bad! 

Today, she is one of Taiwan's most popular DJs

London-themed visuals flashed across the backdrop screen as she tore up the dancefloor

Tonight, she dropped a mix of old skool, funk, disco & electro tracks

Cindy, Jane, Ringo & I. We girls enjoyed DJ RayRay's set! 

Charles and I by the bar

Adjacent to my table was David, one of my friends from Penang, along with Sheena & Michelle 

Buddy Kate came by my table to say hi! 

Eclectic stage dancers entertained us with their sexy dance routines

Bumped into more homies from Penang!

One of the reasons why I love attending parties back on my little island

– my schoolmates and the people I grew up with!

Jason and I with our drinks

Before I knew it, popular Taiwan-based emcee, MC Royal came over & made a toast with me and we chugged our smooth, fine Black Label whiskey.

He then challenged me to a three second slug of the bottle – to which, I had no problems with.

I upstaged his challenge at 5 seconds!

Over the years, slugging directly from the bottle has become quite a routine for me at parties.

I am notorious with my drinks like that. Heh.heh.heh. 

But ever since I've joined the pact at the previous Johnnie Walker Black Label Circuit party, I only skull my drinks neat when I AM NOT THE DESIGNATED DRIVER.

Always stay safe on the road, peeps! 

Apart from hard liquor, I fancy my exotic cocktails as well. Extra points if I've not heard/tasted it before 

This time round, I was served British tea-inspired whiskey cocktails 

Johnnie Walker mixologist Josh Ivanovic showed me how it was intricately done

Fusing the powerful, bold flavours of Johnnie Walker Black Label with the sweet, aromatic taste of tea, it was the best of both worlds in my glass.

The method of preparation was complex and was served in style!

This gave me an excellent idea for a unique tea party. Teehee! 

When the lighting changed into bright golden yellow beams and the visuals warped from Johnnie Walker Black Label montages to animated graphics of Johnnie Walker Gold Label 

Classy.

Johnnie Walker models paraded onstage with the Gold Label and sparklers fizzled & gleamed from the top of the bottles they had in their hands. 

This was probably the apex of the night! 

Shiny golden confetti soon burst out and cloaked the arena with shimmery gold!

I was practically covered in them, my bag and drinks included LOL

See what I mean? haha! 

Jane and I when the confetti showers were ongoing

Behold, the dazzling, extravagant Johnnie Walker Gold Label in all its glory

Hui Wen and I sipping on our Johnnie Walker Gold Labels

(Yes I know I look a tad buzzed & flushed by now. It was 2AM already mind you! LOL)

Leng Yein jiejie and I by the bar 

To save the best for last, headlining act DJ Benji Boko was flown in all the way from the United Kingdom to raise the temperature of the party even further!

He was dropping us some nasty, booming tracks from a decidedly British set list!

Instantly recognizable with his huge Afro & his monkey alter-ego,

Benji Boko certainly injected heaps of fun to party

Don't stop the music, Benji! 

httpv://youtu.be/-_oJsLMK234

Check out the video of the night! (You can spot me at 0.23secs & 1.56secs whee!)

We partied till the wee hours of the morning – which ended with a bang!

It was truly wonderful to have reunited and partied with so many of my long lost friends, friends from the industry and of course, made many new ones too 

Friends friends friends… everywhere! What's a party without good company of your buddies? 

Thank you for a marvellous and a very "English" weekend! I enjoyed the party to the core 

See you at the next Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge party!

One of the most memorable (yet highly nonsensical!) things I'll never forget about 2012 is the incessant, unnecessary buzz about how the world will come to an end on the 21st of December 2012.  

Who are you fooling, really?

Believe it, if you must. The end-of-the-world apocalypse was torturous… but I made it out alive.

How about you?

It is beyond me how moronic the world can be, for taking the prediction of the Mayans so seriously, spreading this prophecy like wildfire, sharing sappy posts on every social media channel possible about their impending last day on earth 

Doomsday you say? I shrugged it off the moment I first heard a breath of it. 

Anyway, the point of this post today isn't about the ridiculous end-of-the-world shebang, but rather… to share how I celebrated Halloween 2012.  

Decorations came in abundance by the week of Halloween!

This enormous pumpkin was taken at one of the concourses of 1 Utama, while I was waiting for Konzy to buy his Halloween outfit  

Lot's of choices at costume/party shops It was pretty last minute, but turned out great!  

My gym, Celebrity Fitness had their fair share of fun doing up Halloween decor at the towel shelves too

The moment we got home in the evening, I got straight down to business.

Dressing up and giving myself a bloody, ghoulish makeover  The result?  

Since this is an incredibly rare occasion I managed to finish getting ready before he does, I had some extra time to selca until he was done.  

Wore a wig & stabbed myself in the head with a kitchen knife too

LOL How do you like it? 

I'm that girl from your nightmares.

You might have seen this on my Facebook & Instagram

After almost an hour, he's finally finished preparing for the night! 

Took longer than I expected, since he had to cut open his robe, slash it and stitch it back.

Hello! Meet Ghostface and the Fallen Angel. How do you do?

When the rest of our partycrew for the night were ready, we took a one way trip down to Zouk Club KL!

Let's tear up the bloody night! 

With bestiePam during the ride 

Three of us at the back!

We arrived Skull Island @ Zouk Club KL by midnight

Great how they went all out with the decorations!

Almost all the ground staff of Zouk were dressed as pirates. 

There were fire-twirlers, fire-eaters, fire-breathers & snake enchanters dressed in pirate gear too!  

One of the pyromaniacs in action

Mingled outside at the patio with many fellow partygoers who were all dressed up as various characters.

Photos soon ensued. Being strangers doesn't quite stop us from taking photos with one another!

Extremely tall pirate men in stilts and I!

Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro (I think?), werewolf in chains with Konzy and I

The said fire-breather and I!

And of course, my one and only date for the Halloween night. Mr Ghostface LOLOL

So are we ready to ravage Halloween like never before?

Kon and I wanted to bar-hop around all 5 of the party-chambers of Zouk.

First stop: Phuture!

Us girlies! 

The boys! 

It was extremely crowded, which proved impossible for us to dance nor even squeeze through the sardine-packed crowd. For those not in the know, Phuture plays mainstream, contemporary pop, RnB and the American Top 40 chart toppers. 

Not exactly up my alley anymore, but hey, I used to be a fan of those genres in my late teens LOL

Next stop : Mainroom!

Our resident DJs were dressed up too! I think they were: a nun, jesus and a friar

The music was a lot more to my cup of tea. Mainroom plays a mix of electronic dance music, such as trance, house, electro, dubstep, big room, progressive and more.

I had heaps of fun there headbanging and jumping non-stop! To those that accidentally got their clothes caught on the feathers of my wings, I'm sorry! 

Our partycrew for the night! 

That's also when my date and someone else's date of the

same kind found each other and "cheated" on us HAHA

Third stop: Velvet Underground!

This room plays mambo jambo, contemporary and good remixes of blasts from the past

Thanks for the photo, Jaz!

Didn't take much photos, as we were too busy partying on an equally packed dancefloor! 

Next stop: Barsonic!

One of my two most favourite rooms of Zouk, Barsonic plays more underground, harder bass, techno, hardstyle, drum and bass, jumpstyle and more. 

Mr. Nasty and GanjaGuru (dressed as Jigsaw from SAW)!

The room saw Halloween revellers dressed to impress! Or should I say, to scare, in this context?

We made plenty of new friends and captured some more memories! 

Anyone wants their hedges trimmed? We have Edward Scizzorhands in the house 

We partied hard with some Japanese kimono girls and a chef with a severed hand!

Didn't make it to the final room, Aristo 

It was already 4AM and we were beginning to feel a tad too woozy for our own good.

Another great night to add to the crazy Halloween parties I celebrate every year!

Till next year, all you ghouls, vampires, draculas, demons, zombies, souls, devils & monsters!

May the undead arise from the underworld to party once again! 

When you hardly ever get to meet the people that matter due to a myriad of "excuses" such as busy schedules, distance, no money, can't be bothered dressing up, no time, don't feel like going out and the like, nothing beats spending a full day out with them when you finally get the chance.

For bestie Joyce and I, we don't hang out as often as we did (when we were both students/classmates) anymore, but absence only makes the heart grow fonder!

Remember my previous chapter about the Super Sweet BFF Hello Kitty party that we decided to go together?

I headed to her place last Saturday morning and picked her up for our full day out!

We were excited and gushed about what the day had in store for us.

Our plan for the day was to have a catch-up lunch together before pampering ourselves with a girly afternoon of manicures, make-up makeovers, hair styling, taking lots of photos together, airbrush tattoos, catching a movie and so much more.

My Hello Kitty look of the day (for a competition)

I don't usually portray the "act cute" or put on the whole "oh-look-at-me-I'm-so-Japanese-I-must-be-kawaii" look, but this afternoon was an image I went for to match the Hello Kitty theme of the event.

You know I never fail to go in accordance to ANY themeparty, right? This was no exception.

Arriving on the red carpet at GSC Pavilion KL

I signed my name on the guestlist, we got ourselves wrist-tagged and were ready to start our day!

But before that, I was given a baby pink Hello Kitty press kit.

Inside, it was packed with so many goodies that the girliest of all girls could only love!

A Hello Kitty facial mask, glittery faux gems, custom-made Hello Kitty raspberry-flavoured candy,

bling decor-stickers & a Hello Kitty notebook all in a matching Hello Kitty baby pink goody bag.

Despite being already inside the event vicinity, we could not stop enthusing over the first thing that greeted us at the entrance. It was life-sized and probably the LARGEST decoration set-up of the party.

See it for yourself!

It was an enormous Hello Kitty arch made of baby pink helium balloons!!

Apart from that, we were totally blown away by the rest of the carefully-thought out decorations and interior

It really set us in the perfect mood for an all-girls day out!

One section of the venue was set in a Hello Kitty tea-party theme.

There was a delightful display of assorted pastries, candies, Hello Kitty cupcakes, strawberries and other desserts all in pink! How adorable

Even the drinks were pink. Check it out!

Sipping on a milky rosewater syrup drink,

popularly known as the 'Sirap Bandung' to the locals

We continued exploring the area and took even more photos as the time passed.

Just a little heads up, I'm going to regurgitate almost all the photos that of Joyce and I took of ourselves in this blog post. We will not be responsible if you get sick of our faces after your finish reading this

At the official photo wall of the Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kitty Super Sweet BFF party!

After some thinking, we then decided on what to treat ourselves with first.

As the manicure booth had a lesser queue at the time, the first thing we did was to get our nails done!

At the manicure booth

As I liked all the colours, the manicurist decided to give me a mix of all!

Done! She even stuck diamante blings and tiny Hello Kitty stickers on some of my nails

Next up, we headed to where all the dressing tables with huge & brightly-lit mirrors were!

Can anyone say, hello superstar?

Reminds me of an actual make-over studio! You know, the kind you see in movies?

We couldn't resist taking a selfie with it

I had my make-up touched up and got the make-up artist to draw pink whiskers on my cheeks…

… while bestieJoyce got her hair done in a pretty, fancy do!

Here I am waiting for my turn!

I waited for almost half an hour only to realize that I probably wasn't going to get my hair done anytime soon

The crowd was massive, particularly in the hair and make-up booths! Everyone was queuing up to get themselves snazzy new hairdos

Look how busy all the stylists were with the throng of enthusiastic girls!!

In the end, I didn't manage to get my hair done.  But no matter! BestieJoyce did

Look at her really cool Roman princess-like hair braids! I absolutely loved it

It was sectioned & braided into several parts, tied down, twisted into buns, bobby pinned into place

and all jazz that can only professional hair stylists could comprehend!

Having so many tattoos (real ones, mind you!) you would think that I am disinterested in airbrush tattoos

But you're wrong! I was really keen and even queued up for it.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get my Hello Kitty airbrush tattoo done as well!
I shall tell you why, in a bit. But first, photos with my friends

Jojo & I

Kate & I (thanks for the photo, babe!)

Yeeing & I (thanks for the photo too, babe!)

bestieJoyce and I

Audrey, Cheesie & I

So many of my other girl friends were there; it was near impossible to take a photo with ALL of them.

Anyway, bestieJoyce and I continued with our day's activities…

Live Facebook updates of the Hello Kitty event!

The huge screen was in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kittylimited edition smartphone!

How smart of Samsung to decorate it as such, instead of just a boring black screen, ey?

And guess who was on their Facebook live updates? *wink*

Thanks for the photo, Samsung!!

Hello Kitty usherettes showcasing the said limited edition Hello Kitty smartphone

I got to take a look & play around with the Samsung Galaxy Y. I liked it a lot!

An even closer look. Look at the cute interface, the icons and the wallpaper!!

I think this smartphone is a really cool entry-level phone for female, girlish youngsters who likes being online, virtually & socially connected and of course, one who loves pink and Hello Kitty!

Oh yes, which reminds me! If you purchase one, you will stand a chance to win a trip to the much talked about Hello Kitty Sanrio town! Details: here

Not too long after, our emcee of the afternoon,

Jojo Struys, had begun announcing the nominees of the 'Best Dressed' competition.

Guess what? I got nominated

Thanks Audrey!

Here I am with some of the fellow nominees for the Hello Kitty 'Best Dressed' competition!

Remember when I said I didn't get to do my airbrush tattoo?

Here's the story : I was queuing up for it for a long time until it was almost my turn! But suddenly, my name was called out to go onstage as a finalist for the said competition just before I began my airbrush tattoo! Bye bye tattoo

But everything turned out better than expected, for I was one of the five winners of

the 'Best Dressed' competition and won myself that Galaxy Y Hello Kitty limited edition smartphone!

As this was a BFF party for best friends, Samsung also gave the prize to the winners' best friend!

So by association, bestieJoyce won a Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kitty limited edition smartphone too!

The first thing I said to her was, "Chehwaaaaahh. Very lucky to be my friend, hor?" 

LOL I'm kidding!

SO HAPPY. I WON I WON I WON!!!

Thank you so much, dear judges and to Samsung!

Us being on film!

After all the hullabaloo was over, the final activity took to the stage.

The usherettes made sure the runway was completely clear of people, as a bevy of five beautiful Hello Kitty models sashayed into the venue and gave us a brilliant catwalk show, displaying all things girly & their Hello Kitty ensemble, of course!

Some of the models posing for countless cameras on the bright pink podiums

Want a closer look at ALL EIGHT of the Hello Kitty models?
Yup, I thought so. Here you go!

The beautiful, lanky and feminine Hello Kitty models of the day onstage!

BestieJoyce and I loved their whole Hello Kitty get-up! Such creative outfits, not to mention adorable too

Our favorite was the one on the right, with the long, flowy gown comprising a lacy, satin corset with frills and ruffles for a skirt that bounced everytime she took a step forward. It was elaborate yet very chic!

Another one of, what felt like, three million photos we took that afternoon

Our final selfie before we adjourned inside for the premier screening of 'The Rise of the Guardians'

Upon entering the cinema hall, we saw that we were supplied popcorn (in a Hello Kitty box) and a drink!

I must say, well done to the team behind today's event! Everything, from the start of the event right till the very end, was done in the minutest details to make us feel special and pampered

Yay! Hello Kitty popcorn for all of us

Before the movie began, we had a little time to selfie again

'The Rise of the Guardians' was a brilliant animated movie!

I left the cinema filled with fond memories of my childhood, of fairy tales and believing in the magic of Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, the Boogeyman, the Easter Bunny and so much more.

The movie was not only hilarious at so many parts, it was laden with moral values and the spirit of friendship, love and adventure too. Oh, and not forgetting, lots and lots of snow

Here's to a wonderful start to December!

As we go on, we remember, all the times we, had together…

and as our lives change, from whatever, we will still be friends forever!

Yes, it's a song, if you didn't already realize

Thank you Samsung, for having us today. As if it wasn't obvious enough, you made us two very happy girls indeed!

When a party is set to hit a small town you spent your childhood in, you know it will only spell a whole new experience.

I accepted the invitation with full anticipation when Ipoh, Perak was the chosen destination of ELEVATE’s finale of its nation-wide series of events.

My plus one & I 

It’s the last ELEVATE party of the year – already?

Throughout the year, partygoers from all over the country didn’t need to travel all the way to KL city to partyrock the night away. ELEVATE brought the party to the revellers instead.

I’ve personally attended a couple of ELEVATE events – ELEVATE Penang & ELEVATE KL.

Two out of the total number of six parties which was also held in Malacca, Kuantan, Johor Bahru, Kuching… and tonight, it’s time for ELEVATE Ipoh to wrap it all up with a fantastic closure 

The latest dance club in Ipoh was the chosen partyzone

Growing up in this little quaint state, one would quite naturally assume that I know everything there is to know about it.

Before you request I point you in the right direction of Ipoh’s best clubbing scene… Sorry to break it to you, I can’t LOL. It is rather surprising (even to me!) that I’ve never once partied within the grounds of Ipoh’s townscape before.

You can’t ever miss the neon prism-like hotspot that is

Sensation of Sound (SOS) located along Jalan Raja Ekram!

We arrived in all shades of blue, adhering to ELEVATE’s colour theme.

The venue was already packed with guests as early as 9.30pm! Hmm.. that’s something vastly different from the KL club scene where partygoers would only begin to flock the venue just before midnight.

Soaking in everything Ipoh’s partyscene has to offer 

To warm-up the party before it set off, we were first entertained by SOS’s very own in-house entertainment.

Their DJ was spinning us electronic & RnB tunes

And their nine-piece Filipino live band

They belted various renditions of popular songs ranging from the classics, alternative rock, rap, to the latest chart-topping pop hits.  

We enjoyed the free-flow of Carlsberg for the night. There was plenty to go around! 

Us with some local Ipoh friends!

Girls decked in blue & our boys in grey

The other half & I 

Chillin’ on one of the many comfy, velvety red lounge seats in SOS!

Suddenly, the lights dimmed and we were shrouded in darkness 

The music took us by storm and local dance crew Elecoldxhot, fully clad in robotic LED gear appeared before us!

They worked their tight & well-synchronized routines on stage

Some of them were breakdancing, while others were shuffling, popping & locking!

They ended their first performance bearing ELEVATE’s logo in a creative formation of their arms!

After a short interval, the next performance gave us something to jump right outta our seats to dance and sing along with.

Any guesses? There was no surprise when the band belted out the ever-contagious, annoyingly amusing song of the year, Gangnam Style! 

The lead singer was even dressed to mimic Psy!

Heeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy! Sexy lady!

All of us, myself included, went on a frenzy and galloped along to the rhythmic horse-riding moves that made the song hilariously popular in the first place.

It was certainly a sight to see! Partygoers, both young and old were seen doing the exact same dance moves. Gangnam Style is no doubt, a phenomenon that is here to stay! 

Elecoldxhot joined the fun and gangnam-styled on stage too

We had so much fun! That certainly cranked up the mood of the party.

Really, now… what’s a party without Gangnam Style nowadays, huh? 

Just being silly 

More party pictures ensued. It was lovely catching up with familiar faces that night!

Elecoldxhot took to the stage again – this time, in a different apparel.

They were donning their signature vibrant & colourful streetwear this time 

How smooth can these boys move? 

Sparks lit up the stage and fizzled for a good few minutes

Their closing dance was certainly a bang!

Confetti burst out in the open and engulfed the dance floor with shimmery tinsels of blue and silver.

Some of the shiny paper even landed on our faces and got into our glasses of beer, from where we were standing!  No matter, all in the name of good fun! 

We had to fetch ourselves new drinks though, just before the free-flow ended at midnight.

DJ Yasmin raises the temperature!

We needn’t have to wait long before our final act stole the limelight & took full control of the night.

It was great to have this petite beauty hailing all the way from Jakarta, Indonesia, right here with us!

Tonight, she not only played uplifting trance beats but also house, techno and dubstep as well

Such a paparazzi shot, no? 

The party kept going for what felt like all night long! However, all good things must come to an end.

ELEVATE officially ended when the doors swung open to the public just after midnight, but this can only mean the more the merrier!

As expected, the venue got even more packed with people than it already is, all in the name of a hectic, buzzing Saturday night.

Thank you, once again, ELEVATE, for having me at your train of parties throughout Malaysia!

Check out KL and Penang’s ELEVATE previous events respectively for more!

I'm still buzzing from Friday's massive David Guetta rave! My body hurts all over, but the pain is oh-so-good.

You know you've been to a hell of a wicked party when you wake up with a sore neck & shoulders, painful calves & aching arms. Friday night saw more than 20,000 revellers at the Paddock Parking of our famed racing circuit, the Sepang International Circuit.

I'm ready for a night of mayhem!

*disclaimer*

Didn't feel like lugging my DSLR camera around as I planned to party the hardest.

So all the photos in this blogpost are taken by the iPhone 4S 

Selca while waiting for boyfieKon to get ready – one of the rare moments I'm

ready before him because I've got so little clothes on LOL 

When it rained all day on Friday, I was fully prepared to rave the night away away nonetheless.

Double outfit of the day!

I chose a rainbow-coloured coordinate while boyfieKon wore his comical Futurama tee

Come rain or shine, the show must go on, yes?

But thankfully, the EDM gods must've heard our plight & stopped the rain before the event even began!

I headed down to Sepang with boyfieKon along with my buddies Larry & Sabrina.

The crowd

We missed local electro-techno DJ Xu & Australian DJ Kaz James' set upon arrival. Bummer! 

But we managed to watch the full set of Alesso, David Guetta & our homeboys DJ duo Blink & Goldfish. 

The very second I arrived, I put on my Ray-Bans & dived straight into the raging mosh pit, as usual!

What's a rave party if you sit at the sidelines and not get down raving, jumping, shuffling, headbanging your heart out? I just had to. The atmosphere was beckoning me – couldn't resist! 

We were trying hard not to get pushed and shoved even more when we took this photo! 

Shakey shakey!

boyfieKon and I at the crazy mosh pit! 

Alesso was spinning while I was springing along with full gusto!

The energy in me was roaring to go all out tonight.

I went beserk when 'Raise Your Head' was playing LIVE before me.

Oh Alesso!! 

Met up some friends at the mosh pit and I was so stoked! 

What are the odds? Bumping into your friends in a sardine-packed crowd of tens of thousands?

Buddy Hisham was one of them 

So glad to bump into buddy Anis at the mosh pit!

No, actually, we didn't bump into each other 

She called to ask where I was and managed to squeezed through the violent mosh pit just for me!

Major love for my girl, Anis 

I was actually surprised she was here!

Looks like there was more of a partygirl streak in her that I didn't know 

More camlovin'! 

boyfieKon joined us 

Friday night was also the first time I heard 'Every Chance We Get We Run' – a collabo between Alesso & David Guetta – which you can check out on the latter's latest album : Nothing But the Beat 2.0.

Alesso dropped many familiar tracks including all his original tracks and shot us to the sky with the mighty ones that clinched the #1 spot on Beatport!

Do you remember which ones? The atmosphere was uplifted yet again with 'Years' and 'City of Dreams'.

Milkyway backdrop!

I looked up to the sky, raised my hands and sang (screamed, actually!) along to the beautiful lyrics.

Don't know about the rest. I was flying high as a kite to take notice of everyone else around me.

But I'm pretty damn sure everyone else enjoyed themselves during Alesso's set. I know I did 

Loving the cityscape backdrop!

He ended his 1.5 hour set with crowd-favorite, 'Calling (Lose My Mind)' – a 2011 collaboration with Sebastian Ingrosso, paving the way our main headliner, David Guetta to steal the show.

We yelled for an encore but Alesso didn't return 

While waiting for the next act

Moving on….

David Guetta's entrance was nothing short of dramatic. See it for yourself! 

The helicopter-chopping sound effects & background music of his grand entrance reverberated from the giant sound systems surrounding the rave zone, invoking much suspense and anticipation from us all.

Thousands of us were chanting, "GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA!"

Finally… our World #1 DJ made his debut appearance in Malaysia!

He kick-started his 2 hour set with 'Titanium' featuring Sia which shot us all into a delirious frenzy.

YOU SHOOT ME DOWN! BUT I WON'T FALL!

I AM TITANIUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM!

I then started live-tweeting the songs he played for my friends, readers & followers who were unable to be there!

The first 5 songs Guetta performed were :

'Titanium' feat. Sia, 'She-Wolf' feat. Sia and a remix of 'Quasar' by Hard Rock Sofa, 'Sexy Bitch' feat. Akon and 'Craissy 2k12' by DJ Obek.

The moment I heard the very hint of 'Metropolis', I went absolutely crazy! 

I loved the song so much. It was a collaboration between Guetta & Nicky Romero

A colossal burst of shimmery confetti then filled the night sky as David Guetta dropped a deeper, pulsating beat to move our feet.

He sure had the bass tomelt the face!

Silly selca with confetti paper which landed on me

I traversed into a state of ecstasy and raved like no one was watching.

LOL candids that boyfieKon snapped

Being amongst an exuberant crowd jumping in unison felt like we all came here for one sole reason.

To gather in the name of EDM and muster all our energy to rave the night away 

Guetta's crowd interaction was fab. He even jumped onto the DJ console and jumped along with us!

Among the rather touching and heartfelt things he said was:

"I'm so happy to be able to be here and play for you for the very first time"

"This is my first Asian tour. Looks like tonight is going to be the best night and the biggest Asian tour I've done. Over 20,000 people. WOW! Thank you for making it so special"

At one point he even brandished his French flag and waved it in the air!

Guetta also pumped up the crowd with his original tracks 'Sexy Bitch' feat. Akon, 'Love is Gone', 'Bad Girl'. 'Without You', 'When Love Takes Over', 'Turn Me On'. 'One Love, 'Memories' feat. Kid Cudi, 'Where Them Girls At' and a truckload more!

Other songs he remixed were 'Fix You' by Coldplay, 'Apologize' by One Republic, and I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas among many others.

Sillytimes!

Some of Guetta's older songs actually reminded us of our late teenage years where those famed songs will be blasting non-stop in all the clubs every weekend. 

FLASHBACK!  Think 2009's 'Sexy Bitch', 2007's 'Love is Gone' and 2009's 'When Love Takes Over' 

We sang along with him when his track went "I'M DAVID GUETTA, BITCH!" instead of "I'm in Miami, bitch!"

I found that very amusing; he was chuckling while playing that too. We could all see his smile from a mile away!

Here's a video I made of the event. Do watch it! I've spent quite a while on it 

Watch out for the parts where David Guetta spoke to us in the crowd & jumped right on to the DJ deck with the explosion of sparklers and confetti bursts!

David Guetta & Alesso LIVE in Malaysia 2012. Enjoy! 

As Guetta clocked in his last 20 minutes of his set, boyfieKon and I decided to withdraw from the crowd & *finally* help ourselves to some ice-cold Heineken, hang out with some buddies and get a comfy place to sit down.

I didn't realize we've been standing & dancing for more than 3 hours! 

Hisham & us

Steve & us

Ben & I

Fireworks shot away from the stage and sky-rocketed into the air several times as David Guetta's set came close and closer to the end. It was magnificent! 

Looks like boyfieKon and I made the right choice to sit back and enjoy the more laidback crowd at the back lounging around compared to the insanity of the mosh pit.

Got an official photo taken for us! 

Goldfish & Blink took over right after as the closing act of the night. They dropped various tracks by Hardwell, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Swedish House Mafia, Knife Party and many hours in their 1 hour set.

The DJ duo also included a never-heard-before song booming from the speakers. It was 'Flags', their latest, original track produced in collaboration with Sidney Samson.

It's not out yet, but we all heard it first!

Here's a little snippet to how it sounds like

We left soon after Goldfish & Blink finished their set. 

Wasn't looking forward to throng through the crowd all leaving at the same time but we made it.

We had some dimsum at Jalan Ipoh thereafter… and its good night to all!

So yes, that made my Friday a notch more exciting than usual. 

Raving & soaring to progressive, house & trance amongst 25,000 fellow EDM-ers.

A night of world-class DJs spinning, an impressive stage set-up & lighting, and good company.

Bring on the next rave! 

Thank you Future Sound Asia for a phenomenal night!
