Drinks, fashion and tapas atop the city skyline! A Kronenbourg L’aperitif French affair

December 27, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Remember this blogpost and contest which I ran a few weeks back?

As one of the official bloggers for Kronenbourg 1664's L'aperitif Fashion, I shared the launch of Kronenbourg in Malaysia in that blogpost as well as the contest whereby one lucky reader wins 2 invitations to the French fashion event at The View.


Fast Forward- Ta-da!!

Whisked off to The View at G-Tower

 

I love this place. It's an open-aired bar up 28 stories in the air with a magnificent view of the city

Glad that Kronenbourg chose this place as it is sophisticated, classy and jives well with what their event is about!

 

Cheers, Kronenbourg!

Oooh the glorious Petronas Twin Towers in the background :D 😀

 

This time round, I brought along a guest with me to the event.

Meet my plus one for the night. my housie Pamela 🙂

 

She's actually my childhood friend-turned-housie 🙂

'Cept the fact that we hardly (if at all) ever talk in high school lol

 

Housie Pam and I at the L'aperitif photowall 🙂

 

Showed the way in by the usherettes

 

Even more elaborately dressed usherettes

 

 Kronenbourg 1664 in their various packaging

 

Bar counter

 

Pam and I enjoying our Kronenbourg 1664 😀

 

Catching up with some friends Dennis & Fay

 

With my fellow ex-redhead, Linora 🙂

 

With Fateh whom I met at a barbeque beach party some months back

(My weird expression is a result of an expression refraining from pulling an

even weirder expression as Mike tried to rob me of my fedora!) ;(

 

 

Funtimes and silly moments never stop with Kronenbourg 😉

Before we knew it, the event kick-started with a warm welcome by the MC and speeches by Carlsberg Managing Director Soren Ravn & world renowned luxury label designer Dato' Professor Jimmy Choo

 

Josiah Mizukami was the MC for the night 🙂

 

Models unveiling the design by Gallo by Thian

 

Introducing the design of the Kronenbourg bottle 

by the official designer of L'aperitif fashion Teresa Thian

 

Closer look at it 🙂

Sucha sleek and chic design for a French beer bottle methinks 

 

The VIPs and celebrities on stage making their special appearance at the event

 

A design from Gallo by Thian in the display window

 

We media were then ushered to a private zone whereby the sneak preview of Gallo by Thian's live mannequin show was held. It features her Spring & Summer collection for 2012! 

 

Ssssoooo cuuute! They were *actually* mimicking a real gardening routine

 

 

The first of its kind and inspired by Kronenbourg 1664's French Art of Pleasure, L'aperitif Fashion was launched with the unveiling of Gallo by Thian's concept designs by lead designer, Theresa Thian 🙂

 

 

Well-known for her chic, feminine and elegant designs, the design combines vintage with elegance; reflecting French sophistication. A bold fashuon statement that is seductively French infused with Malaysian elements

 

Theresa Thian and her models showcasing the designs

 

LOL candid photo of me snapping photos of the fashion show (while still drinking Kronenbourg LOL)

and Josiah grinning in the background

 

The VIPs, Theresa Thian, the models and the fashion mentors & icons of Kronenbourg's L'aperitif fashion

 

Watched the lovely and adorable live mannequin show, mingled with the crowd and sipped on more Kronenbourg draught. Too fun! Glad I bumped into many familiar faces too 🙂

 

International model Amber Chia of GUESS fame and I

 

Dato' Professor Jimmy Choo OBE (Order of the British Empire) and I

 

Just like my fellow Malaysians, I'm so proud of Dato' Jimmy, you have no idea!

Malaysian-born shoe designer hailing from Penang Island (hello, homeboy!) of Jimmy Choo couture fame – EST 1996 – is now based in London running his self-named luxurious designer shoe label, Jimmy Choo.

He has hand-crafted shoes to high-profile clientele such as the late Princess Diana and red-carpet celebrities across the globe. One shoe would cost at least RM3500 in my currency! To date, he has 140 stores in 32 countries worldwide. 

 

True story, bro

 

Haha enough gloating about how amazing he is!

Kronenbourg certainly made the right choice in appointing him as the mentor in the L'aperitif Fashion.

 

Way to go!

 

So much excitement 😀

And now it's time to chill by the balcony over some (more) drinkies and good food

 

Pam and I by the glass balcony

TAKE ONE 

 

TAKE TWO

 

TAKE THREE

 

Couldn't decide which one was better 😀 

Aaaaaaaaanyway, it was free-flow for a quite a number of hours so we just couldn't stop sipping the goodness of Kronenbourg. Pam and I both liked the Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc better due to its sweet, cidery after-taste!

 

The Blanc version is the one on the left 

But my guy friends prefer the original Kronenbourg 1664 

 

Perfect way to unwind on a Thursday night 

 

Amazing free-flow of draught & bottled Kronenbourg, fashionable crowd, tapas food, picturesque sky-high bar, so much catching up and camwhoring with my friends & fellow partygoers 🙂

Let the pictures speak for themselves!

 

Candid shot of Fay and I

 

LOL an obviously tipsy Mikey

 

With Charles and housie Pam

 

With Soren, Josiah and housie Pam

 

With Jess of whom I went with on my trip to Tioman Island last year

 

With housie Pam and Michelle

 

With Tim! Putcha drinks up!

 

With Josh and housie Pam

 

My two friends with amazing musical talents  So proud of yall!

Dennis (above) wickedly plays the violin while Shawn (below) beatboxes epicly.

Together, they steal the hearts' of the crowd

 

With American-Latin DJ Dean Richards, who brings us tracks of HedKandi and Defected in the House

He has continued making waves in the dubstep scene and house tracks locally too

Await an exclusive interview, dear readers! 😉

 

Anyway, housie Pam and I stayed at The View till past midnight. Kronenbourg's definitely had it going

So much going around to leave so early just yet, hey?

 

Totally unrelated photograph but this beer rack in spirals at The View bar caught my eye

 

Oh before I forget, I'd like to thank photographers Jaz Khai (the unwatermarked photos belongs to him), Vince Khoo and Feroze Roman for their photographs.

Thankew for the lovely photos 🙂 I didn't bring my DSLR to the event due to some unforseen circumstances 🙁

 

Thank you Kronenbourg, for a wonderful Thursday night out

 

That being said, congratulations on a successful L'aperitif Fashion launch in Malaysia!

Fashion, music n' fun! The Underground Dominants of Project UNDO @ The Opera, Sunway

December 31, 2010 by thejessicat

 

One rainy afternoon on a Thursday, I made my way to Project UNDO.

LOL the tagline was something that goes along the lines of "too little time, too much to undo"

So kinkeh!

 

 

Anyway, its a series of Underground events which involves fashion and music. (Don't ask me why it's underground. It got me scratching my head in confusion too) And the dress code was 'UNDERGROUND'.

And! I had no idea in hell how to dress 'underground' so I resorted to wearing earthy, brown and ground colours. Thankfully, I found the one and only brown top I own. Looks like brown had never been my colour huh 😛

 

Yeah I was trying to look as brown and underground as possible.

Any browner and I'd turn into a mole or a pile of sand

 

Was there with my pals all the way from Penang and some of my gurls here! 😀

 

 

We all had lotsa fun and was treated to lotsa booze at the VIP terrace upstairs on the 2nd floor.

If i remember correctly, there was Johnnie Walker black label, Glenmorangie and beers throughout the night!

 

By the sofas & balcony

 

By the drinks bar

 

Finally, the show began. It took a good long 2 hours to start after its scheduled time.

The party was to begin at 7pm but it only began somewhere after 9pm. Grr! But issokay, good company and drinks kept us busy anyway

 

Cassandra Patrick was the MC while violinist Arthur Tan started the ball rolling for the night

 

Magic Show! See that girl lying on top of the sharp point? Insane.

Sorry fo overexposed shot but that's Rosen Roy the magician/illusionist in red

 

She could totally be a devotee for Thaipusam while she's at it, since needles and spears don't seem to hurt her.

Anyway, here's our view from the top terrace 🙂

 

 

Fashion show began and it showcased classic collections and some pretty unique pieces from local designers like Jimmy Lim, Joe Chia, Alexandrea Yeo, Allien Gan and MNEP 🙂

The gambit was instead of playing the same old "catwalk tracks" while the models are strutting down the runway, Project Underground saw local pop/punk/rock bands playing live for all of us.

 

Local punk rock outfit, An Honest Mistake!

 

And that's my friend Leonard playing right in front.

Can't believe he spontaneously followed suit and "catwalked" with the models as well LOLOL 😛

 

More and more performers took the stage and they were local DJs DJ Nas T and DJ Tareeq, Scottish DJ Dayshavoo, local rock band Underheadlights and 19 year old beatboxer Koujee.

Camwhoring and partying continues!

 

A tad off-focused but memorable all the same

Double iconic brass ring by Soak Republic

 

 

We left somewhere past midnight.

It was a working day tomorrow yo! Can't stay up too late.

 

And just before I left, bumped into Andy at the doorway, and he took a shot of us.

One for the road babeh!

 

That was how my Thursday working weeknight was spent…. at Project UNDO!

Envy Club | Solaris Mont Kiara

August 10, 2009 by thejessicat

 

What happens when you’re in the mood for some buckets of ice-cold beer with your buddies or a night out partying hard to infectious Gaga + Timberland remixes and booming bass beats? You hit the clubs.

But what if your lazybones refuse to take you all the way to KL City where the mainstream clubs are located? You go to Envy in Solaris Mont Kiara.

Image00004
Dance performances during the opening

As everyone knows, Solaris is home to some pretty awesome F&B eateries and its suburban nightlife. In that square itself, there are many places to choose from various fine dining restaurants, clubs & bars and abundant cafes.

 

Image00024
GRRRRRRRRRR

When gurls go wild with good food and even better music.

Image00008

A group of bloggers were invited by the management of Envy Club to attend a media&bloggers tour of the premise itself on a Wednesday night. Buffet dinner was served to us and there was a free-flow of beer too!

 

6500_239538700303_761055303_7960989_5296715_n
At the entrance

 

When I got inside, I was actually impressed with the large and spacious layout of the double-storey club plus its state-of-the-art interior design. Can anyone see the pole in the middle? LOL that’s for the aspriring pole dancers out there to do their thang!

Image00003

 

Here’s a shot I managed to get which shows you both the floors of Envy. Captured this in a very awkward position, of having myself doubled over the stage floor right below the DJ Console.

Image00023

Photos captured with the camera pointed
180degrees apart from the same position

Image00002

Speaking of DJs, we had a very talented combo of a DJ and a beatboxer too on the night of the launch. Believe or not, the latter is only 18 years old and is ranked #9 in the recent beatboxing competition held in Berlin!

Image00001

Music was relatively good, as most AT40 R&B clubhits were playing as well as some popular trance & house beats. A blend that never fails to work at any given party!

Image00007
The DJs used Scratch Live on his laptop too

When we had enough of downstairs, we then went upstairs to check out what it has in store for us all.

5734_142266171264_692086264_3649084_3205180_n_thumb[2]
Just before we adjourned upstairs

 

Wow! I especially liked how it looked all more comfy upstairs. There were plenty of sofas and it was likened to a lounge – a very large area occupying the entire row.

Image00018
I like!

Myself, SarChan, Shawn’s friend & Shawn

 

What I also found rather ingenious, albeit a very sneaky idea was to build a glass bridge connecting the two sections of the 2nd floor.
Watch out ladies! Don’t wear your fave dresses or miniskirts and accidentally walk right through it.

Image00005
… for I forsee a heightened level of noise under the
transparent bridge each time you walk by.

 

Anyhow, I was lucky enough to be coincidentally wearing my pair of baggy pants on that night. So I stood on the glass bridge comfortably with the rest of the dudes. Heh.

Image00028
Shot this from upstairs. I think I’m addicted to lightplay now
Whoops!

And the best part of the 2nd floor just has to be their Nintendo Wii. There are 2 flat screen monitors for you to play Wii Sports and the rest of the games installed inside.

Image00019

 

My fave game was Tennis on Wii Sports. Melody, Kristine and I were challenging each other. LOL That’s me on the left and Kris on the right… jengjengjeng guess who won?

Image00012
Pwn-ed joo, Kristine!

The special part of Envy is that it had a seperate section for VVIPs. And I mean, a really seperate section where cigars and wine bottles rule.

Image00025
Casa Envidia

It was so exclusive that it even had a private staircase leading right to the center of this room. However, there is a side door (if you’re smart enough to find it) which will give you access directly from the club into the room.

Image00026

These VVIPs even have their very own wine room all to themselves. Pretty cool for the creme of people who appreciate the finer things in life. Champagne, cigars, wine and tapas. Check out this other Shisha place nearby.

 

Image00027

 

I can’t help to think that this place reminds me of the 1st class seats on an aeroplane.

Image00001

It was brightly lit and extremely spacious
with leather upholstery for their armchairs.

 

Image00006
I think I spotted a GH Mum premium wine bottle on display

In a very short while, I exited this seperate I-feel-so-royal-and-important place to head back to the mainroom of the club.

Image00010

We helped ourselves to more free-flow of drinks. There was much merry-making in the club! By the time it struck midnight, more and more people started to roll in.

Image00011

We bloggers had fun messing around with our cams to produce crazy lightplays from the laser lighting of Envy and of course camwhoring in the vicinity.

Kudos to
Leonard, Event Manager & Zai, Communications Manager
and the rest of the Envy team for making this evening a blast

 

If you think you’ve had enough of the club atmosphere and want to opt for something more relaxing and breeezy, Envy’s got just the right thing for you too.

Image00002

It’s their outdoor lounge just beside the club, again with my ideal picture of comfy sofas and fluffy cushions there at your disposal. The ventilation here is just perfect, with huge-ass oscillating fans and of course the natural breeze.

 

pix00001
Just perfect to sit down with your buddies
or loved ones and down some Corona

Sometimes I stiffle the urge to fall directly asleep on those sofas. Really now, things can get so comfortable and cosy that I could just catch my 40 winks on the spot.

Oh and randomly,

Image00009
Yes I steal Fedoras when I’m being fed with some rad drinks.
In the mood for some Envy yet?
It’s the total package in the heart of Solaris
