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

May 26, 2013 by thejessicat
 
 
 

Thanks to Wesak Day being a public holiday, I’m back in Penang now for the long weekend!

One of the best things about living in Malaysia is the insane amount of public holidays we have, I swear.

It’s so awesome that it’s ridiculous.

 

Our public holidays consist of holidays at national & state levels, royal installations, birthdays of the who’s who in our governing body, religious purposes and the fact that we comprise several different races would mean Malaysians observe almost every festive occasion there is to celebrate. 

 

Holidays can only spell more fun times out and about! laugh

 

Cuti awam, cuti umum, semua cuti pun kiterang sapu! Macam tiap2 hari ade cuti. Seronok giler!

It's crazy I know but hey, I'm not complaining! laugh

 

My purpose of returning to Penang this time was to visit and spend quality time with my family.

In the afternoon, we adjourned for some Japanese food, shopping and coffee. heart

 

Just the weekend outfit of the day

 

Candid of my holding granny's hand. Priceless photograph. heart

 

May 24, 2013 | Having a late #lunch with the #family at Sakae #Sushi! by imthejessicat on Keek.com

Hello from Sakae Sushi, Queensbay Mall! laugh

 

Coffee sesh with the family 

(Pardon the coincidental blinking by two people)

 

Had coffee right after

 

Uncle Mikey and I

 

At night, we were booked in for a nice Chinese banquet dinner at Jade Blosson Restaurant at Krystal Point. This is to celebrate the homecoming of one of my favorite cousins, Kevin, who came back to visit from Los Angeles, with his newly-built family. laugh

 

Couzzie Kevin and I

(P/S: He doesn't have sleepy eyes, just wasn't looking into the camera lens LOL)

 

As far as I can remember, I’ve never exactly been too fond of children and babies. indecision

I just don’t fathom how everybody finds them so amusing – give me cats anytime. They’re far more affectionate and entertaining.

 

Can't believe I'm an aunt already! surprise

 

Tonight, I held a toddler for the first time. He wriggled initially and I freaked out, but we eventually got along just fine. I was just happy I didn’t drop the kid. yes

 

Photographic evidence that I ain't too shabby with children perhaps? cheeky

Say hello to my 2 year old nephew. The very charming little one – Caleb.

 

How cute is he? Adorable beyond words! heart

 

I think we are naturally gifted at posing for photographs HAHAHA

 

Dinner ensued at last, and more merriment soon followed. 

This was what we were served in our eight course dinner. (Photos aren't too pretty this time – sorry!)

 

Traditional Peking Duck (Skin) served with Chinese Pancakes and Condiments

★★★✩✩

 

Yam Ring Basket

★★★★✩

 

Chinese Herbal Chicken

★★★★★

 

Deep Fried Sweet and Sour Garupa Fish

★★✩✩✩

 

Traditional Peking Duck (meat)

★★★★★

 

Spinach Soup

★★✩✩✩

 

Braised Pork Belly

★★★✩✩

 

Pumpkin with Minced Meat and Dried Shrimp

★★★★★

 

To my surprise, my family didn’t fancy the food at all. LOL I think granny's expression says it all

 

I had no complaints, though.

What really left an impression were my two favorites, the Steamed Herbal Chicken and the Peking Duck.

The chicken was incredibly tender; bursting with a hint of Chinese herbal essences with each bite. The duck was tastefully done. It was so aromatic and flavorful; cooked to just the right texture – not too soft nor too chewy.yes

I was helping myself to them both one after another uncontrollably. cheeky

 

The interior

 

The rest? Well… it wasn’t bad neither was it exceptionally good either.

I’d say it is just your average Chinese dinner fare.

 

***

 

The very next day, I made plans with Kevin and his lovely wife Rachel (whom I clicked with very well!) to spend some time together for an afternoon of lunch and coffee. heart

You know, being cousins, it’ll be nice to do some cousin-to-cousin catching up and bonding sans the entire family.

 

Saturday outfit of the day

 

We went to my favorite restaurant in Queensbay Mall to have lunch.

It was T.G.I Friday’s! laugh Here's some of the food we had:

 

Jack Championship BBQ Beef Ribs

★★★★✩

 

Baked Potato Skins with Bacon & Cheese

[No ratings because I didn’t have any – but they seemed to like it!]

 

Baked Stuffed Mushrooms

★★★★✩

 

We didn't want to leave just yet – too engrossed in our world of conversations!

Coffee was at Old Town White Coffee, Queensbay Mall.

 

I never regretted making plans with them that afternoon.

 

There was so much catching up to do with Kevin, while Rachel and I got to know each other better. We talked, we ate, we laughed the afternoon away. I foresee myself jet-setting to Los Angeles sometime next year! 😀

Have a safe flight back to the US of A, guys! kiss

 

***

 

Being back in Penang for the long weekend, I wouldn’t miss a chance to party on my beloved island.

Especially when my bestest buddies are around with me! heart

 

The night was Richard Durand presented by Twelve XII, QEII On the Sea and Heineken.

 

Partied with my fave Penang buddies! devil

 

He played, in equal parts, uplifting trance as well as progressive trance. His remixes were wicked! yes

 

Thanks to Sam for the help, I got to take a photo with world #89 Richard Durand himself.

 

***

 

After a hectic Thursday night, Saturday night was another night of partying.

It was Hennessy Artistry Penang! 

 

Suffered a very, very bad hairday so I decided to tie all my hair up for the night

I was surprised when I got told numerous times that I looked nice with my hair done up. surprise

 

Hennessy Artistry Penang was amazing, as usual.

It was fantastic being able to catch up and party with some of my favorite Penang friends again, as well as my buddies from KL.

 

The interior was magnificent!

 

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

More in another blog post.

Oh and… I got myself a new tattoo (again). laugh

One every year since the year 2007 and counting!

 

Remember the one that I sketched on my shoulder with markers?

 

Part of it came to life.

More in a full blog post soon.

 

Clearly, I had a great weekend. But what’s been happening earlier in the week? 

Gym, as usual. Decided to switch my routines to more interval and circuit ones for maximum efficiency.

 

Had time in between sets to steal a piccie

 

Weights. This is for the abductors and adductors

 

Barbells are my favorite

 

And so is the spinning/RPM sessions!

 

What else? Been cooking. A whole lot.

Here are some pictures of my post-workout meals to make you hungry hehe cheeky

 

Hardboiled omega eggs with sliced tomatoes, tuna chunks,

cottage cheese and lettuce on wholewheat toast

 

Fluffy giant salmlon omelette and sides of garlic,

stir-fried organic pea-sprouts in olive oil and kidney beans

 

Platter of four: Grilled Shitake mushrooms and tomatoes, boiled carrots and steamed broccoli

 

Pan-fried brown rice in olive oil, eggs, kidney beans, organic peasprouts

with lots of garlic, quinoa, basil and black pepper! 

treasure pocket of brown rice baked in ricotta cheese & garlic, salmon, green & yellow zucchini,

baby carrots, pea sprouts and egg with a dash of quinoa seeds & black pepper!
 

 

Also been having sleepless nights. (Don’t ask why)

 

The things you do when you can't sleep.

 

My week also saw me going to Publika for the very first time.

I KNOW, I KNOW. DON'T CHIDE ME. Yes, believe it or not I have not been there ever. Well, I just had no specific reason of being there neither did I make the effort to drive there to check the place out or make any plans there. sad

But that night, thanks to my buddies, plans were made at Publika!

We went to The Red Beanbag for dinner and drinkies at Barfly after. 

 

Wednesday night with my girls and the rest (not pictured)

 

Desserts after dinner at The Red Beanbag

More in a full post soon!

 

Had also been shopping at fashion bazaars!

The most recent one was the Markets @ Jaya One fashion flea marketheart

 

Girls day out. En route for shopping and lunchie! devil

 

We bought lots of pretty pieces. I think I ended up with a few dresses, tops and skirts.

Photo credits to Ning. Thanks girl! xo

 

Random, irrrelevant photo of my cat being confused as to why his picture is taken

 

Caught my sleeping child on the table LOL devil

 

I woke up one day to find that my black kitty has turned snow-white.

LOL kidding. 

 

Last weekend was also BestiePam’s birthday!

It was a house-party at her crib and the theme was supposedly ‘Pyjama Party’ but I was the only guest who showed up in pyjamas. Grr. cryingcrying

Fell in love with Rama's bunny slippers at the party and kept wearing it.

How can anyone not love this giant, fluffy thing? heart

 

Random photo of the other half and I during her party

 

We played the classic Kings Cup!

 

Watched them down Jagermeister trains! It's cooler than regular Jagerbombs methinks.

 

Happy birthday Pammy, I enjoyed the party! Hope you liked the birthday present I got you smiley

 

Later that week, I was invited to a Star Trek Into the Darkness movie screening in Cathay Cineplex thanks to TalkFILM.

 

 

Never one to be into science-fiction action movies, I found myself scratching my head in dismay for the most part of the movie.

Admittedly, I have never watched any of the previous Star Trek movies and I stand completely at polar ends of being a trekkie. blush

 

 

From a complete trekkie-noob standpoint, I found Spock rather peculiar-looking.

Oh and I could't help but to tune out without realizing and found myself organizing my schedule for the coming week on my PDA. Despite trying my level best, my attention span for this movie was next to nothing. I wasn’t even paying any attention half the time. I felt bad but ultimately felt better when I heard some snoring coming from the back of my seat.

Looks like it isn’t just me who found this movie utterly boring, eh? blush

 

May 16, 2013 | Just got back from the movie screening of Star Trek Into Darkness! Go watch it!

 

Give me back Star Wars anytime.

Perhaps I would appreciate Star Trek better if I had a better comprehension of it, though I enjoyed watching Captain Kirk in action. I thought he was rather hot.

 

After the movie!

 

***

 

One afternoon, I found a pretty ingenious way of eating my favorite Secret Recipe cake, the White Dark Chocolate Cheesecake.

Though it may gross some of you out, I figured that I am going to share it regardless.

 

So this was what I did.

 

I cut off a spoonful of cake and dipped it into my cup of Flat White coffee for a few seconds before lifting it up and putting it straight into my mouth. devil

Having white chocolate, dark chocolate and cheese mulled together into a cake is good enough, now with a touch of coffee-flavour? I’m a genius! LOL.

Sedap giler, percaye aku tak? Cube sendiri pastu habaq kat i camne okey? Haha.

 

Jokes aside, I loved how it tasted.heart

 

Dipping it into hot coffee made the crumbly chocolate half at the bottom disintegrate with moist, producing a wonderful melt-in-your-mouth texture.

And the cake wasn’t cold anymore, obviously. Not that I minded having it served cold – this was just so much better! Try it… and tell me what you think! 

 

So there you have it, a wrap-up of my busy fortnight.

Have a good week ahead, folks. Make every single day count! laugh

 

Much love,

kissJessicat

The trilogy continues… super-clubbing phenomenon Hennessy Artistry KL 2012 is back with a bang in KWC, Kuala Lumpur

August 30, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

If you haven't viewed my previous blogpost about the exceptionally epic Hennessy Artistry Penang 2012, I suggest you do *grins*

Jam-packed with photos and a narration of what happened, it's something you shouldn't EVER miss if you wanna know what went down at the party.

 

Enough fluff. Read it – here *clickety click*

 

For the seasoned Hennessy Artistry partygoers, you’ll know what to expect! 

And for first timers, you’re in for a real treat, as Hennessy never disappoints.

 

Yup. Believe it. Hennessy Artistry is back!

 

Fresh off the island waves of Penang, Hennessy Artistry is roaring ready to tear up the capital! 

The second instalment of 2012’s Global Art of Mixing Trilogy will be happening on the 8th September2012 on the 15th floor of KWC Kuala Lumpur.

Just a little peek at the interior of KWC KL @ Level 15 before Henessy's total revamp!

(Where is it & how to go there? It is located on Jalan Gelugor & Google maps link is http://goo.gl/wwLw)

 

This time round, Hennessy is more than prepared to host 3000 guests to a mix of world-class music and the trademark H-Artistry atmosphere!

Also, fellow EDM (electronic dance music) fans will revel in delight at the stellar line up Hennessy has to offer us next weekend.

 

 

From the interactive Hennessy 360 Panoramic Cam, to the plethora of drinks served on the night, you better be ready to turn up your party dial to the maximum level! I know I sure will 

 

What do you think of the line-up this time round?

 

Personally, I was over the moon when Hennessy revealed their headlining acts for the evening.

Don’t know them? Imma introduce them to you now :

 

 

International vocal powerhouse Eva Simons is no stranger to the fans of electronic dance music.

This Dutch songstress is best known for her recent collabo with EDM giant Afrojack in ‘Take Over Control’ that we all hear permeating every dance floor around the world.

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fe4dk0Jtcw

Come on, you've GOT to know this! :D

 

 

Eva has also rubbed shoulders with LMFAO, Will.I.Am, Kanye West & many others.

Okay, who's next? :D
 

 

 

Jakarta’s cult-status Angger Dimas.

The young electro-house DJ has impacted party people beyond the borders of the Indonesian club scene. Due to his deft talents on the turntable, he went international very quickly 

 

This isn’t his first time in Malaysia, as I’ve personally saw him LIVE & raved to his intense set that,

I swear, has the ability to shoot every raver to the skies 

 

 

 

Okay, next up!!

*drumroll*

 

 

Shifting more to the next generation and local hipster scene, are KL’s rising electronic dance nu-breeds B.A.T.E (Brain and the Eye) duo who will be setting the pace of Hennessy Artistry KL 2012 with a mix of big room, disco, techno & electro :D

 

 

Personally, I haven't heard much of their sets to shower infinite praises on them just yet, but one thing's for sure, if Hennessy picked them to perform at H-Artistry 2012, you know they're made of solid spunk! 

 

Last but not least is…….

 

 

The hard-hitting, edgy and wicked DJ duo aptly named the Bass Agents.

Familiar to many in the hard style, hard trance & hard dance sets, the duo comprising Mr. Nasty & GuruGuru are well-known for firing the energy levels through the roof and pushing way past the overload button 

 

 

Vicious, vigorous and very brutal, Mr.Nasty & GuruGuru’s tight basslines will compel you to relentless headbangs.

Are you excited yet? 

 

Entry is strictly by invitation only.

To score your invites, log on to Hennessy Malaysia's Facebook page to see how.

 

 

All I can say is, expect a supersonic bassline and a cosmic night as these artists take us on an energy-driven musical evening with one-night-only collaborations, complete with powerful vocals & lashings on the DJ deck as well as free-flow of the delightful Hennessy VSOP and its signature long drinks.

 

I’m ready. Let’s do this, party people.

To Hennessy!

The trilogy begins! Hennessy Artistry Penang 2012 kicks off in style @ Straits Quay Convention Center (SQCC)

August 28, 2012 by thejessicat

 



Hello there my quaint little island, the blogpost is finally here! Sorry I took a while. 

I may be late, but I certainly would not let a party as big as this slip away from my blog line up.

 

 

((STYLESHOT OF THE DAY))

TheJessicat wears: Red-Black Toga Dress by S.U.B | 

Black Studded Bag by GUESS | Red Stilettos by Payless Shoes

 

Do you know which party I'm talking about?

Betcha do!  It's HENNESSY ARTISTRY PENANG 2012

 

The glorious Hennessy VSOP bottle & I, flanked by two lovely usherettes

 

This entry is a sequel to both my posts here and here

When I heard that the first of the Hennessy Artistry trilogy series of parties was set to rock Penang island, I was not only proud of my little island, but also excited that a party of such a scale was to be celebrated on the grounds I call home 

 

Arriving at the foyer. I was taught to make my own Hennessy cocktail! 

One of the usherettes (who happens to be a friend of mine) Jenny, showed me what to do

 

I was astonished to how Hennessy completely revamped Straits Quay Convention Center!

That very night itself, SQCC turned into a huge party arena hosting more than 2000 guests, complete with an all-new Hennessy Art of Mixing Zone, signature Hennessy VSOP long drinks and of course, the trademark Hennessy Artistry party atmosphere.

 

The classy lounge-foyer area for guests to sit, chat, drink and chill

before getting sloshed at the battlefield of a party zone 

 

Pam, Jessmine & I at the Hennessy lounge ;)

 

My homies and I catching up over a few drinks that we were taught to make :D

 

 

Samantha & I

 

Guests could have their photo taken at a very interactive photo booth where several cameras placed all around the raised platform woulsimultaneously capture photos to achieve a 360 degree photo effect. 

 

The girls and I atop the panoramic Hennessy 360 camera platform!

 

Really cool photo sequence, if I do say so myself! 

Soon after, I made my way inside the party-zone

 

Spotted glasses and glasses of Hennessy on the counter all lined up in such a neat manner!

 

Got into my zone. The 'S' Zone also known as the VIP, bloggers & media zone

 

Our table was given a Hennessy VSOP bottle of our own with plenty of mixers to go around!

Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Ginger, Hennessy Soda & Hennessy Berry. Your pick? 🙂

 

Thank you Paul for a lovely photo! 

 

with the girls 

 

with the boys 

 

When I got in, the first act of the night was already warming up the party scene.

Spin master DJ Ramsey Westwood (a friend of mine!) began the hype by dropping his set of progressive house & electro 

 

Drop 'em sick beats like you always do, Rams!

 

Whoooop whoooop! 

 

It was no wonder he bagged champion at the ASTRO Hitz Spinmaster Season 2.

As the music kept pumping and dropping at all the right places, we guests fed off the energy and made it our own!

 

 

Emcees of the night from MTV VJ Rich & VJ Holly Grabarek kept us on our feet & welcomed the next act on stage

 

 

Here are some party pictures!

 

Same high school back then; at the same party right now! :D

 

Collegemate Mikey and I :D

 

BFF Joyce and I  We go a long way back!

 

The view from the back of the crowd

 

Before we knew it, the next act joined DJ Ramsey Westwood up on stage! 

As two is always better the one, both of them performed a stellar collabo act of beats and vocals!


Local songbird & 'One in a Million' winner Suki Low ripped the crowd apart with her powerful vocal chords

while DJ Ramsey spun David Guetta's Titanium feat. Sia

 

I am Titaaaaaaniiiiummmmm!!!!

 

 

She then continued with chart-topping popular hits from Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and even classic numbers by soul diva Whitney Houston! Suki hit all the notes – especially the high ones! – perfectly, it was mind-blowing.

 

She's on the edge of glory, you bet! ;)

 

A crew of dancers then joined her onstage and Suki also busted some dance moves in unison.

 

Such an electrifiying performance!

 

Her act stole the limelight for that moment and drew a heavy applause from the floor

 

We loved her and even sang along with her as she belted out the songs we knew of  :D

More party pictures?

 

We. are. Penang cha bohs! :D

 

MORE Penang kias!

 

Yup, believe it or not we were all from the same primary & high school buildings playing tag & hopskotch in our school uniforms a decade ago

And now we're all dolled up at the same party listening to the same music & drinking the same drinks.

 

 

This is why I love parties. You not only get to meet new people but also rekindle with old/long-lost friends!

For that I'd like to thank Hennessy, for making this happen :D

 

The third act of the night made their way upstage after Suki finished her show

 

It was none other than Asian Kings of the Mandopop scene – Lollipop F

The appearance of this dance quartet led to screaming female fans from all corners of the party to the utmost front as much their zone-barricades could allow them.

 

Another one-night-only collaboration was born! 

DJ Ramsey X Lollipop F

 

With their very tight choreography, they certainly stole the show!

 

They even incorporated stunts, breakdancing & other daredevil acts too!

 

I was so impressed and held my breath for fear that he was going to topple over! *gasp*

He defied gravity as he went lower and lower and lower OMG

 

Lead singer of Lollipop F – Owodog belting out their popular songs

 

Coming from someone who doesn't listen to chinese songs at all, I was actually in awe at how energetic, charming and appealing their performance were. Good vocals, good looks, good dance routines, good stunts, good body unique fashion style – name it, and they have it all 

No wonder many girls were hyperventilating throughout their show :P

 

More party pictures!

 

Ash and I :D

 

Vivian & I 

 

Perk & I :D

 

Alex & I :D

 

Take one!

 

Take two!

 

The emcees came back onstage to have a toast with us – TO HENNESSY VSOP! 

Soon after, they welcomed the next act.

 

Guess who the next act of the night will be?

 

It's the grammy-award nominated British Trance/Progressive music producer/DJ….

*drumroll* Andy Moor!

 

His set and remixes sounded amazing and even more so, reverberating from the state-of-the-art sound system!

 

He shot the crowd to a sonic mayhem

 

You can bet your bottom dollar I went absolutely beserk headbanging & jumping around during his set

 

Photos never lie, huh? 

 

Andy had the beat to move our feet & the bass to melt our face! 

 

Make way for more party pictures!

 

Can't get enough of Penang peeps yet?

 

Here's more Penang peeps for you :D

 

A party would never be complete without both my very special girl friends with me 

For long time readers, you would already recognize them from all the photos:

 

Bestie Joyce!

 

Bestie Pam!

 

The night was still young, but it was plain to see that the thousands of partygoers wanted more.

We were more than ready to get our groove on to the final act of the night – Ernest C!

 

This cutting-edge house and electro maestro made us jump to our feet again!

 

He even dropped those wicked 

dubstep booms from Skrillex and Porter Robinson!

 

Final batch of party pictures!

 

 

Thank you Hennessy Malaysia for an epic one-night-only weekend and an amazing time!

Bringing a stellar line-up for us, both international & local, serving us free-flow of delicious Hennessy shots & cocktails and a fun-loving, marvellous party experience, we owe it all to you. Looking forward to more of Hennessy Artistry! :D

 

Did you know that the next instalment of Hennessy Artistry series of trilogy parties is underway?

Yup, mark your calenders for next Saturday, 8th August 2012!

My Hennessy Artistry Penang Experience + Press Conference with the artistes of the night

June 21, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

My weekend went swell… it was a blast in every sense of the word!

Thanks to Hennessy Malaysia, I flew down to Penang on Saturday to attend Hennessy Artistry Penang.

 

At one of the many Hennessy bars during the press conference in the afternoon

 

As I've announced before in this blogpost, Hennessy Artistry is back with a bang this 2012!

The aforementioned party which I had the pleasure of attending, marks the very first of its trilogy of parties this year! 

 

We arrived the airport as early as 9 o' clock in the morning, boarded the plane by Malaysia Airlines and had a pleasant flight towards Penang. Touched down safely just before noon.

 

Lunchtime at Blue Reef Fish & Chips @ Straits Quay

The grilled Chilean Sea Bass aka Cod with Prawns was delicious! 

 

We were then ushered to Straits Quay Convention Centre for the Press Conference session along with a Meet & Greet with the artistes of the event. 

They were Taiwan Mandopop boyband Lollipop F, UK Grammy-Award Trance DJ Andy Moor and our very talented local acts DJ Ramsey Westwood, DJ Ernest C and singer/vocalist Suki Low.

 

This way to the venue

TheJessicat wears:

Blazer by Cotton On

Black Studded shoulderbag by Guess

Heart Sunnies sponsored by Online Store : Friendly Fashion

Leopard Tank sponsored by Online Store : Friendly Fashion

Dark Grey jeggings by Forever 21

Neon Pink-Rainbow kicks by Nike

 

Had a sneak peak into the venue before anyone else.

The moment I stepped in, I was in awe! 

 

Loved how they transformed the convention hall into such a posh bar-lounge to mingle about 

 

Heaps of tables, chairs & lounge sofas for guests to chill with their fave Hennessy drinks

 

Guests will have their photo taken at the Hennessy 360 Camera platform!

Love it! So much fun 😀

 

That, my dears, is only the beginning!

For behind the curtains is the stage, many bars, lounge sofas, podiums and more located within the enormous party zone capable of hosting more than 2000 party-goers.

 

Patience, pet! :D Patience! 

 

The bar boasting Hennessy's signature long drinks : 

Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Berry, Hennessy Ginger & Hennessy Soda! 

 

I had my fave Hennessy Apple made by the Hennessy girls manning the bar

 

Dear Hennessy, congrats on your lovely new bottle again! 

 

Before we knew it, the MC of the event, MTV VJ Rich, ushered us to gather around before he welcomed the artistes of Hennessy Artistry Penang 2012 to the venue! 

 

Richard Herrera aka MTV VJ Rich. He's a bit of a looker, is he not? 😉  😉

 

We had the opportunity to speak to them and find out what they think about this party.

Questions were posed and from there we got to know the stars a tad better 🙂

 

Owodog from Lollipop F answering a question from the floor

 

Did you know that the 'F' in 'Lollipop F' represents their FOUR members? 😀

Now we do.

 

Local DJs Ernest C and Ramsey Westwood sharing their sentiments

 

Suki Low and Andy Moor listening attentively

 

Candid shot! Suki Low in smiles

 

After the press conference, I told her how I watched her grow since her victory as a 16 year old girl in 8TV's One in a Million reality TV show. She seemed rather surprised and bashful about my knowing of her since way back then! :)

I was excited to watch her perform ever since her debut in 2006.

 

DJ Ramsey smile for the camera!

 

Rams and I :)

 

Ramsey, a fellow Penangite, is a friend of mine since teenagehood

Looking forward to watch him play tonight as (let's be honest) I've never watched him play LIVE before! 😛

 

Andy Moor. My eyecandy of the night!

 

I couldn't believe I was sitting about 2 feet directly in front of Andy Moor.

I've been listening to his works and remixes for a couple of years now and this British trance & progressive music DJ/Producer is nothing short of talented!  Take a listen to his tracks, it's really good 😀

 

I asked Andy a question : What will we partygoers be expecting from you and your set tonight?

To which he answered : I'm very excited about tonight. Expect a whole lot of groove.. and energy!

 

Andy Moor and I  My day (life) is complete 😛

 

Here's a group photo of all the artistes of Hennessy Artistry Penang 2012!

 

Cheers! Tonight's gonna be a good night 😀

 

 

Managed to steal a photo with MTV VJ Rich before everything was over 😛

 

When the Press Conference was over, we were left all pumped up and excited to partyrock on tonight with free-flow of superb drinks by Hennessy, a stellar line up, good music and many familiar faces! 

 

You know there's always a good party with the world's leading cognac, Hennessy VSOP, around!

 

We were then chauffeured back to our crib for the night, G-Hotel along Gurney Drive! 

I took a short rest, had a piping hot shower and began dolling up for tonight's event.

 

My room

 

Dubbed Penang's Most Stylish Address, it was a pleasure to have stayed in this seafront hotel that comes with a breathtaking coastal view. Except though, rather unfortunately, it wasn't the most breathtaking view as I had imagined due to the low tide of the sea.

Bummer! 🙁

 

My workspace for the weekend. 

 

Had only very little time to bask in the comfort and spaciousness of my room during the day, a little bit during the night and the morning after, but I made sure I did! :D

 

But my love for my King Sized bed knows no boundaries! 

 

Giant mirrors too. I approve! 😀

Now excuse me, while I put my best foot forward for tonight

 

Just before the event began, we had dinner at Hisago Modern Japanese Restaurant @ Straits Quay

I had cod again, but with Soft Shell Crab Maki and Sashimi this time!

 

 

After a satisfiying meal at Hisago, it was time to turn up the party dial!

Hennessy Artistry Penang 2012 was just about to begin…

 

Stay tuned!

See you at the super clubbing phenomenon! H-Artistry Trilogy begins at Hennessy Artistry Penang 2012 Straits Quay Convention Center (SQCC)

Phew!

Now that the exam season is over and done with, I can finally bid farewell to life in university goodbye

Unless I return for a post-graduate Masters degree, that is.

 

But for now, I'm all roaring ready and looking forward to the weekend already!

If you've been following my blog for long, you would know that I frequent Hennessy Artistry parties often dating all the way back in 2009

 

LOL My 20 year old self back in the first few Hennessy Artistry parties ever

 

Oh and remember this epic one held at Bukit Kiara in 2009 featuring Fat Man Scoop & the Ying Yang Twins?

 

Yup, was wicked indeed.

But before you whine WHY DO ARTISTRY SERIES OF PARTIES HAPPEN IN KL ONLY!?!

 

Fret not

 

The premier, super-clubbing phenomenon is back and ready to rock your socks off.

Get ready for three explosive parties! 

 

The first of which is all-set to begin in Penang Island this 16th June at the

gorgeous waterfront of Straits Quay!

 

A turnout of more than 2000 revellers are estimated, making Artistry the biggest party to be held on the island

The first instalment of H-Artistry 2012 will feature an all-new Art of Mixing zone, signature Hennessy V.S.O.P long drinks and the trademark Hennessy Artistry party atmosphere

 

(Epic as ever. I can certainly vouch for that!)

 

Artistes who will be our entertainment for the night

 

The sensational line-up features chart-topping Mandopop sensation Lollipop F, UK grammy-award nominated trance DJ/Producer Andy Moor (YAY!!) as well as Malaysia's local talents Suki Low, Ernest C and Ramsey Westwood

 

Being an electronic dance music enthusiast, I certainly cannot wait for Andy Moor

to drop some of his sick beats and bring the house down!

Here's one of my faves, 'Fight the Fire'

 

How do you attend?

This is an invitation-only event. If you want to attend this party, head on to H-Artistry's Facebook page

Alternatively, you can purchase a bottle of Hennessy VSOP from these outlets to redeem your invitation

 

 

Hope you're just as excited as me to tear up the night this weekend in Penang!

Will be flying off to Penang this Saturday morning for a press conference with the artistes & party at night!

 

Let me know if you want to ask any of the stars anything! 🙂

SEE YOU PARTY PEOPLE THERE! x
