All the mystery & heading up north to Carlsberg ‘s ‘Where’s The Party?’

November 16, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

Despite rocking up at countless parties, attending events after events in the city, there's always a part of me that's gleefully hoping one of them would be an epic, massive beach party.

 

Previously, as it has always been, I've been making my way down south to our neighbour across the causeway for their annual beach party at the end of every year.

Yes, that's the one – ZoukOut at Siloso Beach in Sentosa Island, Singapore.

 

But last Saturday night proved that we Malaysians won't need to leave

the country anymore to partyrock on a beach 

 

When I received the really creative event invitation by Carlsberg to party with them at their annual 'Where's The Party?' event, I knew for a fact that it was going to be held by the sea – on the beachside!

The invitation was in the form of a 'message in a bottle'. So creative!

 

Leading up to the party, I received a guide on what to bring.

Yup! That confirmed my speculations of a beach party! 

 

I woke up as early as 6 o' clock to pack for the weekend trip as we had to gather at the Carlsberg Brewery in Shah Alam at 8.30am, where several designated coaches would be chartering us to the mystery partyzone.

 

Breakfast was served at the brewery – Nasi Lemak & Teh Tarik!

Yum. Your typical Malaysian breakfast, I know :)

 

We adjourned a little after 9 o' clock!

 

The bus ride was a lengthy one but we guests were well entertained by our bus emcee, Carl.

He made us laugh with his humour, snide jokes and sarcasm! :D

 

I was in my own world curled up with a good novel & my favorite playlist

while theboyf played Angry Birds throughout the ride

 

The secret destination felt like a faraway distance and the journey, a never-ending one.

We were on the road for 5 hours now. The surroundings were beginning to be a wee bit familiar to me. 

 

We were given a bento box for lunch on the go!

A delicious hotdog, sausages, fruits, smoked salmon, veggies, potatoes and… CHOCOLATE 

 

At one point, I could see the Penang Bridge in the distance. That's it! 

This year's Carlsberg 'Where's The Party' is going to be held in Penang Island… but the question is, where exactly?

 

We alighted at Queensbay seaside to sign our names on the guestlist

 

Initially, I thought we were going to be partying at this beach but there was no stage set-up in sight.

"Scratch that, it can't be here then!", I said to myself with much perplexity.

 

Before I knew it, we were on the move again.

 

Being a Penangite, I thought I knew where we were going and smugly told theboyf that the party would most probably be held in Batu Fehringgi's long stretch of beaches.

But as soon as the coach took a different route, my totally lost my bearings. We were taken on a long, winding ride on a new highway on a hilly area I've never driven on before.

 

Escorted by the police force and road marshalls en route to the secret partyzone. Coolbeans! 

 

Looking out the window, all I could see was cliffs, narrow bridges, the Indian Ocean, plunging ravines, the sun setting in the horizon, lush greenery, mountainous terrains, jungles, waterfalls, rural villages… you get the picture.

This puzzled me even further.

 

Dear Carlsberg, Where's the Party?

No, really… WHERE'S THE PARTY???? 

 

I soon realized that it was all part of the plan. Their plot to confuse us, get us racking our brains thinking, giving us so much suspense and anticipation living up to its theme – 'Where's The Party?'. 

 

Good job! That calls for a Carlsberg *clink*

 

In the end, I was right. We were going to Batu Fehringgi after all but via a road not taken by many LOL. 

 

We *finally* arrived Bayview Beach Resort Penang

This was taken in the transparent, bubble elevator going up to my room :)

 

As soon as I stepped in, I felt right at home.

My Deluxe Side Seaview room was spacious, comfy, had an enormous King-sized bed, a balcony, a giant bathroom (with a bath!), comfy couches, a flat-screen television, high-speed internet and so much more!

 

To sum it all up, it was beautiful had everything I needed. Thanks, Carlsberg! 

Here are some photos of my room before I made a mess of it LOL

 

#1

 

#2

 

#3

 

#4

 

I soon noticed a little something lying in my room. 

It bore the words – 

 

"Dear Bold One,

You've made it to Carlsberg Where's The Party. 

 

Gear yourself up with the items in this party pack

and rock on to Asia's most epic party!"

 

I opened it with much enthusiasm (Come on, who doesn't like surprise presents?) and I found many party essentials which could come in handy during the beachparty! 

If my memory hasn't failed me, it had a map/layout sheet of the partyzone, a Pestle and Mortar 'Where's the Party?' t-shirt, funky hipster glasses and a pair of flip-flops.

 

Yay! This made me a very happy girl 

I've always wanted a pair of Fipper flip-flops but never got round to buying one

 

Time to get ready and hit the beach for Carlsberg's 'Where's the Party?'

 

Whoops. I think I over-packed. Heh.

 

We put our beachparty gear on and left the hotel with the Carlsberg shuttle-van

 

The party was held at Hard Rock Hotel's beachside.

Finally, after an entire day's worth of travelling (almost!) it was now time to muster what's left of our energy and turn up our party dial for Malaysia's most epic tri-nation beachparty by Carlsberg!

 

Watch this space for Part 2 *wink*

Stay tuned!

ZoukOut 2011 featuring DJ Chuckie, Avicii + Armin Van Buuren! Siloso Beach @ Sentosa Island, Singapore

January 23, 2012 by thejessicat

 

I know this is probably a month late but I kept having more and more things to blog about that Zouk Out completely slipped my mind! Pardon me… teehee!

 

So yeah, as expected, ZoukOut 2011 was an absolute wicked one.

Probably just as good as last year celebration of 10 years of ZoukOut, aka Zouk10ut if not better!

 

My gurls and I 

 

So before we entered the main Siloso Beach of where ZoukOut '11 was to be held, the whole lot of us decided to dive straight into our own party. Pre-drinks at the adjacent beach.

Don't know what beach it is but it sure worked for us πŸ˜€

 

Chilling at the bench during pre-drinks

 

I miss my Aussieguest Carly πŸ™

Come back to Malaysia soon!

 

Venessa and I

ZoukOut once more hey? πŸ˜‰

 

Take two! πŸ˜€

 

We finished the bottle in a jiffy

 

We made friends with ol' McDonald from Detroit, USA!

 

Chugged my last glass in the water

 

Alright, that's a wrap!

Now that we're all pumped up, hyper and tipsy, it's time to adjourn for ZoukOut 

 

Where the party began 4 hours ago!

 

Just three enthusiastic partylovers amongst hordes of  many others!

 

Correction: FOUR!

 

Correction: FIVE!

 

Correction: SEVEN!

And the number just kept growing

 

Once we entered, we started running helter skelter, exploring what this year's Zouk Out has to offer

Mostly the same good food, good things on sale and heaps of freebies up for grabs!

 

Went to the Havaianas outlet

 

Played with the giant inflatable flip-flop! 

 

Bumped into an old friend, Adelyn πŸ™‚

 

And a few others too – Danny and Charlene

See, we Penangites came all the way from the north for this yo ;)

 

After all the exploring and fun, we escaped to grab a bite of the nearest yummy food possible

 

Headed off to Mcdonalds!


Where I impulsively bought a slurpee cup with a red bikini on it :O

 

DOESN'T MATTER, HAD FOOD!

With our satiated tummies, we marched back to where the party's at, ZoukOut '11 awaits us 

I've made a video compilation of my ZoukOut 2011 experience, watch out for it at the end of this post!

 

Got to the main stage pretty early to secure our spots

DJ Simon Dunmore was playing at that time

 

Raving with my buddies! Ze clan and I

 

Party vibe is building slowly! πŸ˜€

 

Squeeeeee! Carly piggybacked me πŸ˜€

 

Bumped into another Penangite, my old friend Sabrina πŸ™‚

 

At last year's ZoukOut, I came to watch my 3 fave stars in 2010's line-up: Tiesto, David Guetta and Afrojack

This year, I came fully anticipating DJ Chuckie, Avicii and Armin Van Buuren

 

and……. DJ CHUCKIE IS UP! πŸ˜€

 

WHO IS READY TO JUMP? πŸ˜€

 

There were fireworks blasting across the sky as we partied!

DJ Chuckie kickstarted his set with a remix of Daft Punk's 'Around the World' and was playing various EDM tracks of his own including remixing those by David Guetta, Rihanna, Swedish House Mafia, Benny Benassi and more.

 

There were beer showers everywhere too!

 

His 2 hour set was pretty radical, I must say. I enjoyed watching DJ Chuckie's facial expressions too; they were so animated and at some parts comical! πŸ˜€ He also really knew how to work the crowd.

And then… it rained not confetti, not streamers… BUT GLITTER (Blimey, I actually thought it was sand!)

 

NEXT UP, GUESS WHO'S CRUNKING UP THE LEVELS AT 3AM?

 

Nobody else comes close to these nasty levels… IT'S AVICII! πŸ˜€

 

Got up to Level Two so fast that I had to blink twice before confirming that it was indeed 2 white girls

holding up the Malaysian flag while screaming AAAAAAAAAVIIIIIIIICIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!! 

 

So proud of my country's flag but then again, wait.. what? Malaysian flag? White girls? Avicii?

Am I missing something here? 

 

Avicii's 2 hour set was stellar, just as I had imagined it to be

 

DJ SPIN THAT SH!T! 

 

He shot the party to the skies the moment he appeared on the decks with 'Fade into Darkness' as his opening song before proceeding to his other popular tracks like 'Sunshine', 'Swede Dreams', 'Hello Miami', 'Freedom' and more.

 

 

The young Swede and rising starlet Avicii (aka Tim Berg) also remixed popular favorites like David Guetta's 'Titatium', Diddy's 'Coming Home', Nadia Ali & Alex Kenji's 'Pressure', Tiesto's 'Escape Me', Coldplay's 'Waterfall' and others. 

 

While raving, the gigantic, transparent beach ball landed on our heads!

 

Ohhhhh~ Sometimes, I gotta good feeling

YEEEEEAH~

 

The feeling was surreal when Avicii played his debut 'Levels' right there and then.

To see 'Levels' playing LIVE RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES BY AVICII HIMSELF was unlike any other.

 

Everyone else in the crowd could relate; they were just as euphoric as I was!

 

Major love fo my gurls for the awesome company!

 

Sex dolls were flying everywhere.

Heck well, naked blow-up dolls, more of. They sure looked like sex dolls to me LOLOL

 

At 5am sharp, something bigger was coming our way.

Already almost at the crack of dawn, there was no sign of stopping us ravers from welcoming the World #1 trance legend for several years in a row, ARMIN VAN BUUREN! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

 

It started off with a big bang

 

He greeted his fans and loyal revellers with arms wide open!

 

Nothing could bring me down.

T'was amazing to finally rave to Armin Van Buuren LIVE and seeing him in the flesh after following his 'A State of Trance' (ASOT) episodes and yearmixes. *swoons*

OHMY. YES IT IS ARMIN. 3 METRES IN FRONTA ME

 

Ohmylord. Armin was so charming that night.. not to mention unbelievably talented too

 

When he spun Cosmic Gate feat. Emma Hewit's 'Be Your Sound', the crowd shut their eyes, jumped and traversed into an uplifting state of trance. :D:D

It was absolutely food for the soul 

 

Bursts of confetti (and glitter!) were everywhere

More fireworks came in abundance too!

 

I recognized the songs from his yearmixes.. nothing beats hearing it LIVE.

 

The beach ball kept bouncing up and down amongst the crowd!

 

Rave it up, rave it good till the morning light!

 

He played till the sun came up 

 

Now, here's my video montage of ZoukOut 2011 through my eyes πŸ™‚

Experience it visually, embrace it and make sure I see you at this year's rave beach party of the year 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmmI8dTIwxU&feature=youtu.be

ENJOY!

 

Only a true rave begins outdoors with thousands of people, rising its temperature with triple the amount of people and ends waaaaayy past the sunrise πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

Every year, ZoukOut is a true pinacle of a rave party. ZoukOut 2012, we shall meet again

Back from Uni Night Beach Party! Monash Gippsland campus is rockin’ it hard

March 1, 2011 by thejessicat

 

I had the time of my life again.

Just got back from the 1st big uni night of 2011 – Beach Party edition!

 

My babes and I on the high!

 

Having a summer good time!

 

It was just impressive how we party revelers possess the innate ability to dress so little in our beachwear given the temperature at the moment was 15 degrees celcius.

It was a rainy night too, walking all the way to the uni club from our rez.

 

 

Don't we all rock? πŸ˜› Awesome *dusts shoulders* yes, of course we do! πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

All and anything in the name of partying!

 

If I remember correctly, there were altogether 8 of us pre-drinking at the rez first

Bardha had some bourbon, so we downed some glasses and shots of American Honey

Tastes fab! πŸ™‚ was really smooth yet strong at the same time

 

 

It's ALWAYS better to drink first and rock up the party semi-smashed.

Only then, you'll actually have a better time!

 

Besides, who goes early to parties anyway? πŸ˜‰

 

The uni club was decorated in beach balls, beach umbrellas,

hawaii-themed everywhere, full-bloomed flowers and more!

 

I swear he could pass as the mascot of the night

 

 

I'm really, really smashed and wanna head to bed quickly but this energizer bunny is still feeling really in ecstasy of excitement and likened to a big ball of electricity now.

I can see the morning after is gonna be a tough one to haul myself outta bed.

 

We gonna rock this club, like it's dynamite!

 

Get on your sunnies, beach balls and summer love together!

Introducing you some more of my party mates and buddies πŸ˜€

 

Erin and I

Josh Swift and I

Matching hawaii floral girls Bardha and I

Thanks babe! xx

Josh, Josh and I

Mossy and I!

Bardha, Erin and I

Verity and I xx

 

Hardcore partying always end up in things getting destroyed, missing and if you're lucky, no paramedics.

But then again, what's a party without some danger field involved? πŸ˜›

 

Lotsa people passed out but this one went unconscious! *gasp*

 

My sunnies broke into half and I was so sad!

But Josh was awesome enough to give me his pair for keeps πŸ™‚

 

Yay! Now I have another pair of sunnies -not red though- but still! Enough to cheer me up

 

I won't lose it, I swear! πŸ˜€ Thankewwwww xx

 

 

and it goes onn and onnnn and onnnn~

I throw my hands up in the air some time~


 

 

Saying a-yo! baby let's go~!

I wanna celebrate and live my life~

Saying a-yo! baby let's go~!


The party didn't stop till almost 3 in the morning!

Now that's more like it. Totally quenches my needs for partying back in KL

 

A few DJs that were brought in to spin the decks for us

 

 

Move, move, shake, shake now drop drop drop DROP!!!

Damn right, I'm gonna lose my mind.


Okay so truth be told, I slept off halfway last night while writing this blogpost, so I continued in the morning. hehe. So good morning! πŸ˜€ As expected, it took a whole lot of effort to get me outta bed. Wooozy!

 

Another night ending on a high note

I could get used to this

 

Three cheers to the kick-ass MUGSU (Monash University Gippsland Student Union) team who worked hard to plan it and make this party a rocksome success! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

Looking forward to tomorrow night's Back2Skool party! I love theme parties

 

Bring on the nerds, canes and chalkboards πŸ˜›
