Hennessy Artistry parties – two shots, please!

June 20, 2013 by thejessicat

 

 

I’ve just returned from my beloved island from an immensely hardcore party!

But no, I’m not going to write about that just yet.

 

Instead, I’ll be sharing with you a star-studded and posh night made of all things glamorous.

Just a quickie blog feature though. Enter: Hennessy Artistry Penang and Hennessy Artistry KL!

 

Ahhhh yes that oh-so-familiar bottle of rich, smooth blend of cognac

My fave blend amongst all Hennessy cocktails.

Unlike the previous one held at Straits Quay Convention Centre, Hennessy threw this party with equal force at the other end of the island instead, at the Subterranean Penang International Conference & Exhibition Centre, or fondly (and conveniently!) known as SPICE Penang.

Again, I looked forward to returning to my quaint yet exciting island for another round of epic parties.

 

Arriving SPICE Penang for Hennessy Artistry.

As I reached the venue rather late into the night, I missed the earlier performances and only got to watch the two DJs of the night, Andy Murphy and Nicole Chen. But hey, I was cool with that! Electronic dance music has always been my thing. heart

 

DJ Andy Murphy on the decks with his thumping electronica set

I was lucky enough to have a word with him when I spotted him sitting on the couch beside mine at the VIP Zone. What are the odds?

Usually, DJs hangout backstage. But he was also given a table to party and host a bunch of his friends who came.

 

DJ Andy Murphy and I

Upon posting up this photo on Instagram, an Australian DJ friend of mine told me that Andy is really one of the nicest DJs he has ever met and spoken too. I couldn’t agree more!

Not only was he talented on the turn-tables, Andy was such a sweetheart! So easy-going, friendly and fun to talk to! We managed to strike a decent conversation that night. laugh

 

I had a brilliant time raving to his music while catching up with my homies from the island!

Here are some party photos with my Penang buddies and I.

 

Ivyonne and I

Chris and I

Krystal and I

Alton and I

and a whole lot more whom I didn’t manage to take photos with! blush

I think this shows how much everyone was enjoying themselves that night.

The final DJ of the night Nicole Chen

I actually had heaps of fun with her music!

Her set was versatile with much emphasis on Dutch-house, slightly wicked and very progressive.

More party photos anyone? wink

Here are some I managed to snap with my KL buddies!

Don / Jessicat / Benjamin

Yuki / Anna / Jessicat

Ash / Jessicat

Dennis / Jessicat

Benjamin / Jessicat / Anna / Bok

The night was a fantastic one; lots of catching up over good music and Hennessy’s signature cocktails.

I personally had a lot of fun for those good few hours with all my partymates and even bumped into old friends. Yup, you tend to get that a lot if you’re from such a warm and cosy island like Penang – where everyone knows everyone LOL

 

May 25, 2013 | Thank you @HennessyMY for another great #party! I had a great time ❤ #hennessyartistry #penang by imthejessicat on Keek.com

 

 

With that being said…

 

Three cheers to Hennessy for a fun night! Hip hip.. hurrah! yesyesyes

Moving on to Hennessy Artistry KL!

Though it’s pretty late to post this now but since we’re on the topic of  Hennessy Artistry Penang, I figured that I’m not gonna skip making a quick post about it at the same time. wink

 

Arriving KWC KL with my fave partymates of the night! heart

BF & the BFF.

Haha adapting a totally different style than I did for Hennessy Artistry Penang!

As compared to one of elegance in the latter,I was decked out in a more edgy look tonight.

Hosts of the night, Julie Woon and Nadia Heng giving us guests warm welcome!

The line-up of the night was undeniably a stellar, show-stopping one of international recognition.

I could remember not putting my drinks down as I rode high on the waves of all the performances!

 

The performers of the night were:

 

Mr. Nasty and GuruGuru

They’re arguably my fave DJs in Malaysia!

Playing a deep, eclectic, bass-jacking and much faster electronica beats like techno, hardstyle, hard trance

and the like, this dynamic duo certainly got me fist-pumping all night.

Beatboxer Koujee takes the stage pumping up the atmosphere with his vocal beats!

The dancers were off the hook as well!

I loved their outfit for the night! So simple yet dark and speaks a volume of attitude.

When Dutch powerhouse Eva Simons took to the stage, the crowd came to a near rapture!

She literally took over control of the night as she belted out her collabo track with Afrojack, ‘Take Over Control’.

We continued dancing and partying hard to Eva when she sang

‘This is Love’ collaborated with Will.I.Am of Black Eyed Peas fame.

Don’t stop the partaaayy!

My party levels shot to an even higher scale when Angger Dimas blasted his two-hour set.

Told you. I love listening to deep, electronica acoustic sounds of DJs of all sorts.

He performed, as usual, a hard and progressive set which nailed it completely!

Progressive trance, electro-house, big room and dubstep permeated the scene that night.

Angger Dimas / Jessicat

Just like the previous Hennessy Artistry parties, I got to grab a quick photo with the DJs that made my night.

Mad respect for you! Such talent and impeccable taste in remixing fresh sounds of original tracks.

Also stole a picture with the boys of B.A.T.E

The night went on and partygoers were seen brimming with energy even in the wee hours of the morning. I was no exception! Angger Dimas’ music kept me going all night.

It was like fuel I was feeding off from. yes

 

Make way for some party photos with my buddies before I head off to bed!

 

Jessicat / Rob

My boy. No introduction needed heart

One drink too many? laugh

Pammy / Jessicat

Jessicat / Kevin

There were so many other partymates and friends whom I bumped into but didn’t manage to grab a quick photo. Perhaps I was enjoying the music too much by the middle and towards end of the night! yes

Once I was on a row, raving to the music and downing shots of Hennessy was all that mattered.

 

Thank you Hennessy Malaysia, for having me at all your Hennessy Artistry’s since 2009!

It’s a party I’d never want to give a miss wink

Check out the other places I have went to such as Zouk and Envy if you want more of my adventures.

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

October 7, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

Hello hello! It's Sunday again & I'm feeling so energized!

All pumped up from today's gym session but my legs feel like complete jelly at the moment. 

 

I'm a work in progress. 

 

Well I guess that's whatchu get from insane, merciless core trainings & floor workouts of crunches burpees, front planks, leg-lifts, push-ups, lunges, sit-ups, squats yesterday and straight on to today's high-intensity Body Combat session as well as more crunches & planking. 

I think I over-exert myself sometimes 

 

Which is why I only drink Horley's Sculpt protein shakes to restore the protein I need from all those mad workouts

Today's choice of gym shoes: Adidas Adipure 360 for Body Combat & floor workouts! Thanks Adidas Malaysia 

 

I need a massage to relieve my tired muscles. Pronto! ;(

Oh and I think I've said this before, I eat like a pig but I train like a hunting dog.

 

I can never say no to mamak food. Oh the delicious curry, tandoori chicken, spices & thosai

 

We all gotta reward ourselves sometimes. Heh. heh. heh.

My treats include chocolate, milkshakes & cheese cakes. 

So if you're feeling kind or want to fatten me up with anything like how the 'Hansel & Gretel' witch tried to do to Hansel, you can make me a happy girl 

 

Which was exactly what the wonderful peeps at Pizza Hut Malaysia did last Tuesday.

 

I was invited to the Pizza Hut Cheesy 7 Red Carpet party!

They blindfolded me while I sampled the Cheesy 7 pizza – which was a much-speculated comeback.

(Full blogpost coming soon!)

 

What I wore for the night! 

 

After sinfully good food, I always I burn off what I eat – if not at least half of the consumed calories.

Let's kick some arse.

 

 

And the gym has always my second home since 2007 

Yes, I'm emphasizing the year I became a gym rat, because lately, I've had many people asking me "So what made you so into fitness & gym all of a sudden?"

  You asked the question five years too late, baby. 


My answer would be – NOTHING. Because I've always been into health & fitness.

 

Throughout all these years as a fitness junkie, I've never shared my routines nor workout photos before. (I think the most obvious is my constant tweeting and Foursquare check-ins into various gyms and parks).

So, I hope you guys don't ask me the same question anymore pretty please T__T

 

Here's a Thai restaurant I'd like to recommend – Restoran Aroma Thai @ Damansara Perdana

Tom Yam Seafood soup, Pineapple Rice, Thai-style Curry Beef, Pandan Chicken & Cashewnut Prawns

They all tasted authentic and each were reasonably priced around the range of RM8 – RM20

 

Attended the Topshop Members Day party on a Thursday night

Major love for polaroids! Always wanted a polaroid camera 

 

My Thursday was quite eventful. It was spent undergoing a very special procedure for my hair.

It is the Brazilian Keratin Treatment  This is only available at A Cut Above hair salons!

 

I daresay it was the best & most professionally done treatment for my recently-damaged hair

(Full blogpost coming soon!)

 

The gorgeous & talented Winnie Loo also gave my hair a magical touch with her expertise at haircuts

She gave me a very bold & edgy new asymmetrical hairstyle – just the way I like it

 

Can't wait to blog about the entire experience at A Cut Above!

I had so much fun with dearest Winnie experimenting new & unconventional looks for me.

 

Dinner Thursdate with boyfieKon at Chilis Bar & Grill @ Mid Valley Megamall right after

He had the Jalapeno Steak Quesadillas while I had the Chicken Club Tacos 

 

More healthy homemade goodness when I stormed my kitchen as usual.

Take a look!

 

Fresh garden salad & Thousand Island dressing

 

Fluffy omelette with Old El Paso salsa & lots of ground pepper!

 

Friday's breakfast!

Cornflakes with fat-free yoghurt & apple slices

 

It's Friday night! Off to shimmey down & usher in the weekend with some electronic music at Zouk Club KL!

Feeling a lil punkass tonight ;)

 

KLCC hey hey!

 

I don't know about my fellow Malaysians but even after living in this country all my life, I never fail to be amazed at our very own iconic KLCC Petronas Twin-Towers, which was once the world's tallest building! 

 

Partied my Friday night away at Sidney Samson LIVE in Malaysia at Mainroom, Zouk Club KL

RIVER! RIVER! RIVERSIDE… *bleeeeeep*!

 

Had so much fun with the buddies 

 

Sidney Samson dropped beats from Swedish House Mafia, Skrillex, David Guetta, Zedd, Steve Aoki apart from his very own original tracks. Heck, he even surprised us with several old skool, hip-hop/rap music!

On second thought, it's pretty obvious that he's a fan. He even had a Snoop Dogg T-Shirt on :D

 

Oh did you know (or even bother to know) that every Saturday is NO PLASTIC BAG DAY at Tesco?

 

Well, now you do… and you better be prepared!

The last thing you'd wanna do is to lug all your groceries by hand, all the way to your car LOL. For the first time, I actually remembered and brought along two large non-woven environmental friendly bags with me :D

 

Spent my Saturday night being Bob the Builder with bestiePam

Was busy fixing a new shoe rack for our my collection of shoes!

 

Hey, they need a nice pedestal to sit prettily too 

Let me introduce to you my (now) neatly displayed, happy family of 55 pairs of my favorite footwear!

 

High-heels, wedges, stilettos, flats, peep-toes, slingbacks, boots,

sneakers, high-tops, runners, gym shoes & flip-flops! 

 

Will be sharing a panorama photo of both mine and bestiePam's shoe collection soon!

 

I know, don't freak out.

Some girls collect handbags, make up, perfume, stuffed animals, soap bars… and the list goes on.

I told you I'm a caterpillar. I have too many feet & all of them want a pair of shoes to wear :P

 

 

httpv://youtu.be/zXspm7k7juE

Song of the week that came just in time! That's some epic dubstep right there

BoyfieKon is blasting it in our living room right this very moment & totally got me hooked 

 

Another thing I did this week that I just have to share is…

 

HAHA! I TRAILED A SPEEDING AMBULANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME!!

 

You know how people follow/tailgate ambulances because every vehicle will make way for them?

Well, I've seen lotsa motorists do it, and since I've always wanted to take advantage of the ambulance's emergency lane, I did. It was cool how everyone gave way to me too :P (It works. I arrived my destination in half the usual time)

 

 

That's all for this week. G'night, dearies. Dream of unicorns and rainbows tonight, aight? ;)

Make sure you're well-rested to tackle your next seven days with gusto!

 

Much love,

Jessicat

We be dubstepping rooftop high with Skream & Benga LIVE in Malaysia! NSFW Tracksuit Party @ Vertigo, The Gardens

February 4, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

As a regular at rave parties and the like, it never occurred to me that I've never attended a dubstep party before.

All the raves I've been to revolved around trance, techno, electro, house, hardstyle or a medley of them all.

 

But not dubstep.

Until tonight.

 

Part of ze clan and I 

 

It was the night of 2 prominent Dubstep pioneers-cum-producers

Their time to shine…hailing all the way from United Kingdom :


None other than Skream and Benga themselves! 

 

Tonight's gonna be a good, good night indeed.

We be raving to the most anticipated Dubstep party and…

 

…the other half finally landed in Malaysia! 

 

The boys from Budculture and Cee X H3 soundsystem opened with a bass-dropping set!

They drove the crowd wild – yours truly & the clan included! 

 

Tonight was the first time we ever raved in a different way. 

Heaps of popping, locking, dropping, shuffling, stomping and tectonic moves as well!

 

This calls for more, are you with me? 😀

 

We gurls be rippin' the dance floor! 😀 😀

 

Keep it going boys! Wub wub wub wub wubbbbbbb

 

Ze clan and I had a smashing time.

Pictures are self-explanatory 🙂

 

Buddy Pam and I 

 

Raving to towards a whole new dimension!

 

And it just never stops

 

OBEY… CEE! Such heavy dubstep warps the night into a Transformers battle

Autobots & Decepticons… major pwnage! 

 

Sure, Fry. Sure.

The boyfie and I – our first time raving together IN MALAYSIA!

Imma show you how we Malaysians party… till the morning light! 

 

And when the night strikes 1AM, Skream and Benga steals the limelight. 

 

Make way for these legends!

 

They shot the party to the skies the very moment they hit the decks

 

 

I've never, ever heard dubstep of all variants being performed right in fronta of my very eyes before.

Yup, I still had to digest the fact that Skream & Benga are here.. right here on our Malaysian soil.

 

Sucha durrrty durrrty set!

 

Jump, jump, jump!

You are my cinema.. a Hollywood treasure 

 

After what felt like hours of non-stop tectonic, crumping, popping, locking  and dropping to the heavy bass, synths and snares, Skream proceeded to escalate the party.  

Quite literally, in fact.

 

Yup, he rose and stood on top of the DJ table while dubbing!

 


It was so wicked you have no idea!

 

We were closing our eyes, headbanging, gritting our teeth and let the insane beats take control

Before we knew it, something else happened outta the ordinary

 

Benga began to stage-dive & crowd-surfed all over the dance floor

And many others followed suit (like this guy above)

 

 

WHEN I SAY SKREAM

 

 

YOU SAY BENGA

 

 

SKREAM!!!

 

 

BENGA!

 

 

SKREEEAM….!!

BENGAAA!!!!!

 

I had a fan-dubstep-tic time.. it goes without saying!

 

 

SKREEEAM….!!

BENGAAA!!!!!

 

Raising the bar of Dubstep music even higher.

Give it up for Skream and Benga!

 

I'm sure all the other revellers of the night can agree with me

 

My first time raving to Dubstep proved to be a helluva epic night.

ENCORE!!!

 

Speaking of which, ze clan and I are gonna be heading to OMFG Saturday @ Barsonic tonight.

Bring it on Mr. Nasty, GanjaGuru and the rest of the bass agents!

Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Label is back in town – with a sexy, exotic Brazilian twist!

December 18, 2011 by thejessicat

 

All things bold, stylish & delivered in black can only be epitomized with the Black Circuit Label series of exclusive parties. Yupyup, it's THAT amazing and more.

Think classy partying with fellow invited guests (money-can't-buy-passes!), free-flow of delicious Johnnie Walker Black Label Scotch whiskey and its cocktails, tapas food served to all & a stellar selection of entertainment line-up.


Jason and I at the entrance 😀

 

Two redheads in the house! 😉

Bumped into Linora and was surprised she dyed her hair red too!

 

 

There were heaps of mighty fine rides – owned by the rich & famous –  parked at the jockey area.

T'was all nicely in line as though partaking in an exhibition of sleek automobiles!

 

The official car for the event – a sexxxy Porsche Cayenne!

 

There was a whiskey appreciation booth as well. 

 

So… how do you appreciate whiskey?

Sip it slowly , let it stay in your mouth for a bit and savour it.

 

Bumped into Kevin at the entrance! 😀

 

Had a very lovely official photograph by the photowall

(ignore random person on the right)

 

Walked into KL Live where the party has already started.

The stage was elaborately set-up and decorated with 2 regal lines of Johnnie Walker Black Label

 

Photos can't do it justice!

 

When I arrived, Mr. Gin had already begun playing.

 

He was good, got the party started pretty well!

But his music just ain't my kinda thing – R&B, hiphop and AT40 mainstream stuff

 

Chilled by the bar and indulged in Johnnie Walker's trio of signature cocktails

My favorite was the one named 'Black Circuit'. The Mojito one wasn't too bad, hey! 

 

Had the cocktails alongside the bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label

 

Brought some of them back to the table with me where my buddies are

 

Thanks for the photo, Radius! 

Although it is beyond me why he would turn the photo monochrome 

 

LOL okay back to colours! 😀

 

Performances soon began, there was a fire-twirling crew in the house!

 

Keep it flaming high guys!

 

Wooots!

 

We were entertained with a Brazilian samba dance too!

Heaps of Belly Dancers and super-flexible dancers wootwoot! 

 

What's a party without bumping into your friends from everywhere? 🙂

 

 

At 11pm, t'was time for the next DJ of the night!

It was DJ Von Kiss hailing all the way from the US of A 🙂

 

I immediately took a liking for her when I saw her Skrillex-quarter-shaven head 

 

Had the feeling she was gonna drop some wicked basslines throughout her 2 hour set

And I was right! 

 

First time I see a group of dancers dancing to electronic music!

Not bad! They sure know how to rave 

 

 

DJ Von Kiss played most of my favorite EDM tracks, electro-house-dubstep ones ranging from Steve Aoki, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Skrillex, UKF, Benny Benassi, Laidback Luke and more!

My rave kaki's and I had a ball of a time. You go, gurl! 

 

Then came the Brazilian belly dancers again

Our local percussionists were thumping away as the dancers shook what their mama gave them hard!

 

They even mingled amongst the crowd and lured some of the partygoers on stage to samba away with them!

 

Bumped into some former colleagues & friends from the industry as well! 🙂

 

Ken Wei and I!

 

Ben and I! 🙂 

 

Bervin and I 😀

 

Flanked by Vince and Ash ;)

 

Don't stop belly dancing yaw!

 

There was such a huge camaraderie on stage! It was fascinating to watch 😀

The entire stage was filled with dancing, music and so much hype!

 

 

But the star of the night was yet to make his way to the decks….

 

Clinton Sparks – I swear he is arguably one of the best performers I have *ever* seen LIVE

 

Why? Because he is unlike any other.

 

 

Never have I ever seen a DJ like him before. He spins, he scratches, he announces, he raps, he runs to the front of the stage and dances, he hypes up the crowd with his incredibly energetic ways, runs back to the DJ decks and drops an insane track, wickedly remixes a few versatile tracks from various genres and eras, jumps around, invites the crowd to the decks & stage and so much more which I really can't describe unless you watch him LIVE yourself.

Clinton Sparks is truly a performer, a talented DJ and an excellent entertainer all in one.

 

We were all amazed by his flawless performance!

 

 

And he grabbed my hand & shook it too! 😀 😀 😀 *swoons*

 

Even more partying as all the performers shared one stage to perform their expertise

 

Haha our local percussionists and the belly dancers really made me fell like there was indeed a melting pot of cultures on stage! Where Brazilian samba-belly-dance culture meets Malaysian kompang drummers! 

It was indeed a sight to see  

 

 

Shower of confetti! 😀 😀 

 

As I left at 4AM, I spotted this booth.

Impressive! Looks like Johnnie Walkers really take their Never Drink and Drive policy seriously.

 

They provided heaps of mineral water alongside the breathalyzer test

Drunk driving is an absolute no-no!

 

Couldn't help taking another piccie of Johnnie Walker's Porsche Cayenne!

 

 

And yet again, Johnnie Walker Black Label proves an excellent indulgence and an eclectic mix of both partying and entertainment – not to mention delicious food as well! 🙂 Keep Walking, yo!
