The Sunday Times IX: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

October 21, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

Speed blogging from Ipoh right now as we speak.

So I drove back to Ipoh – in the goddamned rain! – last night to attend an event right after an event in the city. 

 

ELEVATE hits downtown Ipoh @ Sensation of Sound (S.O.S)!

*Full blogpost coming soon*

 

Talk about a back-to-back schedule on a Saturday! Geez. But it was all worth it.

Coming back to the place I spent half my childhood in is always something to look forward to 

 

Heck, it's practically my first time partying/clubbing in Ipoh! 

 

Was taken to supper after the party! I shall eat what the Ipoh-peeps eat :)

 

Popular for their Bak Chiok (baby octopus) & Yuet Gong Hor (Raw Egg "Moon" Koay Teow noodles), Restoran Tuck Kee along Jalan Yau Tet Shin is the place to go.

We also had Braised Chicken Feet – I didn't eat it but the others did! – , Herbal Boiled Eggs & Pork Balls

People patronize them during dinner and it's also the to-go place for "after-clubbing" hours.

 

Coming back to the comforts of home means being spoiled by comfort food as well.

A gift from granny. Kieldsens' original Dannish butter cookies! 

 

Discovered excellent news that made the raver in me jump for joy!

 

The legendary God of Trance music, Armin Van Buuren will be making his way to Sepang, Malaysia for A State of Trance (ASOT) 600!

Mark your calendars fellow EDM-kakis, for March next year will be so fun!

 

Cuddles & playtimes with my babyChivas 

He's the best cat in the world, my one & only –  I love him to bits! 

 

If you can ever read this, lil one, mommy loves you a whole lot

So what else did I do earlier in the week? Let's see..

 

Woke up early to have quite an elaborate breakfast Tuesdate with boyfieKon

at La Bodega @ Bangsar Shopping Centre

 

I fully recommend the Club Sandwich, Big Breakfast and Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon on Toast.

It was sucha hearty breakfast and much chattering over coffee & hot chocolate. 

 

Tues outfit of the day! Casual with an edgy hint on a day out 

 

Fri outfit of the day! Played it girly with a childlike, Japanese touch. Matched my iPhone with my outfit too!

 

Oktoberfest with the buddies! 

Drink up on a Friday night to kickstart the weekend 

 

Made Organic Wholewheat Durum Spaghetti with Roast Chicken,

Button Mushrooms, Chopped Basil & Asparagus for dinner

 

Breakfast like a king! Had O'Briens Irish Sandwich Bar @ The Curve

The Big Club Sandwich & Classic Triple Decker Sandwich were real winners! 

 

Brunch! Fruit & veggie platter of mangos, watermelon chunks and celery

 

Dinnertime. My fave mix of oven-roasted Zucchini, Baby Potatoes, Australian Carrots, Pumpkin,

Shallots, Garlic and a generous amount of Rosemary & Black Peppercorn seeds

 

Dinner again! Organic Wholewheat Durum Pasta Carbonara with Broccoli,

Button Mushrooms, diced Carrots with lots of onions! 

 

Replaced cream with a healthier alternative – a nice blend of low-fat yoghurt, egg-whites & milk.

And when I do decide to eat out, Japanese food has always been at the top of my list.

Check out the Grilled Gindara Codfish in Teriyaki Sauce I had at Sushi Zanmai @ The Curve

 

Another one of my all time favorites – the Caterpillar Maki Roll, also from Sushi Zanmai 

Can't ever say no to Grilled Unagi (eel), Omelette & Avocado 

 

Imma let you in on a little secret 

You know how I always share the healthy, clean food that I either homecook or when I eat out, right?

 

Truth is, that's as close as I can actually get to my ideal diet.

A whole lot of my sweet-tooth snacking, overindulging & unhealthy food enters my system too. 

 

Hey, I'm only human – just like you.

 

But the very moment I've set my mind to propagating health & fitness, by inculcating this idea and motivating all of you, I have to first set an example. 

One always have to practise what one preaches, right? 

 

And I'm glad I've managed to drive this point home, from the feedbacks I've received and by mere observation. I see more and more healthy eating & an obvious increase of a fitter lifestyle in all of you.

 

So proud of ya'll! 

 

My favorite bowl of Mac & Cheese. Just one of the many sins I indulge in. Don't we all?

 

I hope this doesn't demotivate you, but rather motivate you even further with the truth.

So don't be discouraged or think you've failed and have to start all over again, whenever you succumb to that burger, pizza, chocolates or nasi lemak – I do too. 

 

 

The moment you make an attempt, you're one step closer to your idea lifestyle, ya hear me? ;)

 

Oh and yes, some good news to share!


 

I've been invited to a fully-sponsored trip to Cambodia to attend BlogFest Asia 2012 held in Siam Reap! 

Simply cannot wait – Angkor Wat, here I come! 

 

Before I go, as usual, a song of the week for your listening pleasure 

Got this one stuck in my head since last Friday at David Guetta's rave party . 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8aaR6jo4VA

The lyrics. Just six sentences, but means so much. Just… yeah. 

 

Have also been plagued by an alarming, inexplicable occurrence in the household that is seemingly responsible for my missing belongings and finding those said missing belongings in the possession of others :/:/

 

There is a fine line between having absolute trust in someone and

having to believe in the supernatural. I can only choose one. :/

 

No matter. Whatever it is, I'll have it dealt with. SMILE! That's all for this week's wrap-up.

Have a lovely seven days ahead of you!  I will too.

 

Sleep well, ladies and gents. Let your dreams take flight *yawns*

 

 

Much love,

Jessicat

I’m back in the island to party at Freedom 360! Fame @ Upper Penang Road

August 10, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Yay! So I took a break last weekend : made a roadtrip down to Penang for the Freedom 360 party.

They were such awesome hosts! I truly enjoyed my weekend; more of that later!

 

For now, let's get on to the party!

 

Yes, I advocate freedom.. for life! 

 

So after a dinner and drinks in Gurney, my childhood friend Edwin was supposed to drop me off for the Freedom event but I somehow brainwashed him into coming along to join my friends and I at the party!

 

En route to Penang's most popular clubbing district – Upper Penang Road!

 

Saw this huge balloon sign – YAY! We were approaching! 

 

We arrived just before 9PM and it was waaayyy to early for anyone to start partying.

But good thing we did, considering the amount of people that's gonna be here, parking would be a pain!
 

the early bird gets to take pretty pictures with pretty background!

I love this piccie! It glitzy and glamourous… and sparkly. Squeeeee 

 

Met up with Angel, who gave me warm, welcoming hugs! 

And ooh look! We 're both dressed according to the Freedom colour theme : BLUE 

 

Took a piccie of Ed at the Registration Table!

 

Bumped into some more friends there. 

And before we knew it, t'was time to take agazillion shots by the Freedom photowall

I love how they have so many cute props to choose from! Added fun like this always catches my attention 

 

With the bestie, Joyce.

Take #1

 

Take #2

 

She was my +1 for the night. Glad she could come; my best friend for 4 years and counting! 

Spotted a friggin' awesome digital photowall that kept changing everytime I tried to take a picture.

 

OMG MANAGED TO CATCH THIS WITHOUT IT BEING HALF SCENED WITH ANOTHER SCENE!

 

Let's see if I managed to catch the ever-changing LCD screen with me in it.

AND I DID YAY!

 

Sorry, was too amused and excited by it 😛

Okay, okay, more piccies on the photowall with the other buddies!

 

With Ed!

 

With Andy!

 

And finally, with Mike who assaults me T___T

 

After lotsa laughter and photo-taking outside, we finally entered the club. 

Rebranded to Fame, this club bears memories of my angsty teenage years; which saw my first few years of partying. It was then known as Glow. Where are you peeps off to this weekend? Glow. What about you? Glow. It was always Glow back in the day.

 

We were *still* too early! 

 

The spacious dance floor with the DJ prepping it up!

 

While waiting for our friends, Mikey and I sitting on the huge bass speakers – because we can

 

Bestie Joyce and I with a couple of the Freedom mascots 

 

Before we knew it, the party escalated to full swing!

The crowd came in by tenfolds, drinks were flowing like there was no tomorrow and the DJ was already pumping it up hard! Now, that's what I'm talking about  

 

Bestie and I – bottoms up, babe!

 

And then my camera somehow landed in Mikes possession and…

well… THIS PHOTO happened. Nevermind….. 😛

 

Anyway, where were we?

Right, dancing away, emptying our drinks by the bottles and camwhoring!

 

Don't stop! Keep it moving, put your drinks up! 

 

There's a reason why Penangites rock. And we pretty damn sure know we do 😛

 

Lainey came soon after! 😀 Yippeeee she came in blue too 

 I just love people who *actually* follow themes set by a party. Now, that's the spirit!

 

 I 

Accidentally taken without flash – but I love the silhouette of the photo!

 

Okay! Picture perfecto 

 

The DJs were spinning up a storm!

Hailing all the way from Denmark, DJ Kid Fresh was terrific! Our homeboy DJ Def did a really good job too

 

Together, their remixes of R&B and Trance/House made the night one to remember.

 

"Dance the night away, grab somebody, drink a little more" – Jennifer Lopez

Oh, we will 

 

We'd be partying like rockstars till the morning light


Super random photo of me. But I likey! 

I was dancing halfway while Edwin pointed his iPhone at me.

 

With Huai Bin and Lainey 🙂

Ohh geez, my face is slightly turning crimson already? Nnnooo.

 

One for the road!

 

I had an fantastic time at Freedom 😀

Thanks for making my weekend in Penang one helluva amazing one, as usual.
