I have moved. Disturbed by strange occurrences in the house + my bedroom tour!

March 3, 2013 by thejessicat

 

 

Today’s post is going to be slightly out of the ordinary… and odd.

As the title says, I’m moving.. AGAIN.

 

This kinda explains my disappearance from my blog for several days.

 

 

I’ve been too busy with my new job, and all the moving to my new house.

Plus, my blog was actually down for 2-3 days – I had no idea! Major thanks to my friends and readers alike who informed me the very morning it was down.

Actually, by the time you’re reading this, I’ll probably still be shifting all my furniture to my new crib.

 

Looks like I’ll be tearing down my display cabinet & pack it all up for moving AGAIN :/

Firstly, no, I’m neither any sort of gypsy nor do I enjoy living a nomadic and itinerant lifestyle.

Secondly, I’m not one to be superstitious nor remotely close to believing that ghosts exist.

And thirdly, I believe that trust binds a friendship together.

 

 

But throughout the past year or so, my second and third stance has come into direct contradiction.

I have been experiencing rather strange occurrences that always seems to conclude as a case that will remain inexplicable, for as long as there is no form of evidence. 

 

How strange, you ask? Let me list out what I remember, you judge.

 

1. My favourite pair of boots was gone from the house & was hidden at my condominium elevator

2. My milk (carton) sometimes gets mysteriously drank & emptied

3. Almost 20 missing items of mine (clothes, accessories and other paraphernalia) 

were found in a housemate’s room. Three times.

4. My Milo supplies (unopened packets) went mysteriously missing from my food box

5. A housemate’s AUD500$ disappeared from his wardrobe

5. My expensive Aldo, Pedro, Charles & Keith and Nike shoes disappeared from my shoe shelves 

& found some thrown into the communal garbage chute of my condominium. 

Altogether, FIVE more were never to be found ;( 

(A crime that I deem heinous, considering how much I adore my shoe collection, 

I swear your unborn child will bring you misery as he/she grows up, for doing this to me!) 

6. My four boxes of chocolate milk ended up in a housemate’s clothes box

7. Food goes missing (sometimes, but frequent enough)

8. A housemate’s toothbrush was found wet (in a dry bathroom),

with several fine hairs and sticky dirt in its bristles

…. the list goes on. 

A ghost burglar, unseen pranker or any one of my housemates? Thoughts?

 

P/S : These things did not happen within the SAME house.

It happened in House A which I desperately moved out and away to escape from, hence moving into House B – *hopefully* ending the strange happenings once and for all.

BUT similar mishaps happened again, in House B.

 

I’m way in over my head here! :/

No doubt, I would be out of my bloody mind if I continue with the same living settings/condition.

This has gotta stop. So here I am, all ready to pack my things once more, to relocate again. 

 

 

I miss my permanent residence back home in Penang.

Really, I’m quite sick of moving in and out here so often after every few months.

Is it so hard to just want a comfy, secure place to call home? :/

 

Hopefully, this will be the last time I’m moving for a long time.

Because… guess what? :D

 

When we were 19, bestieJoyce and I told ourselves that IF we were to be in the same place at the same time in the future, we would live together. 

(We eventually went separate ways to the UK and Australia respectively to pursue our education)

 

BUT five years down the road, who would’ve thought

 that our little pinky promise would come true? :D

We’ll be staying in the premium township of Mont Kiara, upper west side of the KL city centre! 

Our dream home is just perfect! A cosy crib for the four of us. 

 

Looks like I’m gonna miss my old place :/

Then again, I’m so used to moving that I’ve lost any strain of emotional attachment to properties.

 

Oh which reminds me, some of you have been requesting to see my room since last year so, here it is!

I admit I can be quite excessive in decoration, as you shall see :P

 

Welcome, welcome!

My room during the day

My room during the night

I’m a sentimental person by nature, so all the cards that were given to me by wonderful people

that I have been blessed to have in my life, are hung above my bed-head.

Some of my decorative items & bottle collection

Room interior aside, what I truly miss about my previous home was the spectacular view.

If you’ve been following my tweets, you would know that I often wake up just to catch the sunrise.

(and go back to sleep after that, duh!) :P

 

I wake up to this every morning. How could such a splendid start of the day not be worth remembering? :)

And as dusk descends, I watch the sun setting in the horizon too.

 

Glorious, glorious golden rays of the sunset amidst the vermilion skies,

framed with the silhouettes of nearby buildings & hills in the distance

 

One of the rare solar eclipses I managed to shoot one evening in 2012

 

Well, let’s just say that despite having nostalgic memories of my previous rooms & the previous houses I used to live in, I simply cannot wait to move to Mont Kiara with bestieJoyce and the boys. 

 

*UPDATE*

Something went awry, and bestieJoyce and I (plus the boys) will not be moving in together anymore. There were some issues between the house owner and us. Thus, we rejected the place and pulled out from the contract.

I am now living with 3 awesome housies in a condominium situated uphill with an amazing view of the whole suburb and the sunset! Simply love my new crib and the neighbourhood is amazing – peaceful, cooling and surrounded by lush, landscaped greenery.

/END UPDATE

 

Back to the issue, what really is the solution to end this indefinite move from one place to another?

 

 

I now declare that my next big investment/asset in the near future will be buying a property of my own… for good.

Wish me luck! I’m a girl with big dreams :D

Future Sound Asia presents David Guetta LIVE in Malaysia (Special guest DJs Alesso & Kaz James) @ Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia! | David Guetta Asia Tour 2012

October 18, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

I'm still buzzing from Friday's massive David Guetta rave! My body hurts all over, but the pain is oh-so-good.

You know you've been to a hell of a wicked party when you wake up with a sore neck & shoulders, painful calves & aching arms. Friday night saw more than 20,000 revellers at the Paddock Parking of our famed racing circuit, the Sepang International Circuit.

 

I'm ready for a night of mayhem!

 

*disclaimer*

Didn't feel like lugging my DSLR camera around as I planned to party the hardest.

So all the photos in this blogpost are taken by the iPhone 4S 

 

Selca while waiting for boyfieKon to get ready – one of the rare moments I'm

ready before him because I've got so little clothes on LOL :P

 

When it rained all day on Friday, I was fully prepared to rave the night away away nonetheless.

 

Double outfit of the day!

I chose a rainbow-coloured coordinate while boyfieKon wore his comical Futurama tee

 

Come rain or shine, the show must go on, yes?

But thankfully, the EDM gods must've heard our plight & stopped the rain before the event even began!

 

I headed down to Sepang with boyfieKon along with my buddies Larry & Sabrina.

 

The crowd

 

We missed local electro-techno DJ Xu & Australian DJ Kaz James' set upon arrival. Bummer! :/

But we managed to watch the full set of Alesso, David Guetta & our homeboys DJ duo Blink & Goldfish. 

 

The very second I arrived, I put on my Ray-Bans & dived straight into the raging mosh pit, as usual!

 


What's a rave party if you sit at the sidelines and not get down raving, jumping, shuffling, headbanging your heart out? I just had to. The atmosphere was beckoning me – couldn't resist! 

 

 

We were trying hard not to get pushed and shoved even more when we took this photo! :D

 

Shakey shakey!

 

boyfieKon and I at the crazy mosh pit! 

 

 

Alesso was spinning while I was springing along with full gusto!

The energy in me was roaring to go all out tonight.

 

 

I went beserk when 'Raise Your Head' was playing LIVE before me.

Oh Alesso!! 

 

 

Met up some friends at the mosh pit and I was so stoked! :D

What are the odds? Bumping into your friends in a sardine-packed crowd of tens of thousands?

 

Buddy Hisham was one of them :D

 

So glad to bump into buddy Anis at the mosh pit!

 

No, actually, we didn't bump into each other 

She called to ask where I was and managed to squeezed through the violent mosh pit just for me!

 

Major love for my girl, Anis 

 

I was actually surprised she was here!

Looks like there was more of a partygirl streak in her that I didn't know :P

 

More camlovin'! 

 

boyfieKon joined us :D

 

 

Friday night was also the first time I heard 'Every Chance We Get We Run' – a collabo between Alesso & David Guetta – which you can check out on the latter's latest album : Nothing But the Beat 2.0.

 

 

Alesso dropped many familiar tracks including all his original tracks and shot us to the sky with the mighty ones that clinched the #1 spot on Beatport!

Do you remember which ones? The atmosphere was uplifted yet again with 'Years' and 'City of Dreams'.

 

Milkyway backdrop!

 

 

I looked up to the sky, raised my hands and sang (screamed, actually!) along to the beautiful lyrics.

Don't know about the rest. I was flying high as a kite to take notice of everyone else around me.

 

 

But I'm pretty damn sure everyone else enjoyed themselves during Alesso's set. I know I did 

 

Loving the cityscape backdrop!

 

 

He ended his 1.5 hour set with crowd-favorite, 'Calling (Lose My Mind)' – a 2011 collaboration with Sebastian Ingrosso, paving the way our main headliner, David Guetta to steal the show.

We yelled for an encore but Alesso didn't return :/

 

While waiting for the next act

 

Moving on….

David Guetta's entrance was nothing short of dramatic. See it for yourself! 

 

 

The helicopter-chopping sound effects & background music of his grand entrance reverberated from the giant sound systems surrounding the rave zone, invoking much suspense and anticipation from us all.

Thousands of us were chanting, "GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA!"

 

Finally… our World #1 DJ made his debut appearance in Malaysia!

 

 

He kick-started his 2 hour set with 'Titanium' featuring Sia which shot us all into a delirious frenzy.

YOU SHOOT ME DOWN! BUT I WON'T FALL!

I AM TITANIUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM!

 

 

I then started live-tweeting the songs he played for my friends, readers & followers who were unable to be there!

 

 

The first 5 songs Guetta performed were :

'Titanium' feat. Sia, 'She-Wolf' feat. Sia and a remix of 'Quasar' by Hard Rock Sofa, 'Sexy Bitch' feat. Akon and 'Craissy 2k12' by DJ Obek.

 

 

The moment I heard the very hint of 'Metropolis', I went absolutely crazy! 

I loved the song so much. It was a collaboration between Guetta & Nicky Romero

 

 

A colossal burst of shimmery confetti then filled the night sky as David Guetta dropped a deeper, pulsating beat to move our feet.

He sure had the bass tomelt the face!

 

Silly selca with confetti paper which landed on me

 

I traversed into a state of ecstasy and raved like no one was watching.

 

LOL candids that boyfieKon snapped

 

 

Being amongst an exuberant crowd jumping in unison felt like we all came here for one sole reason.

To gather in the name of EDM and muster all our energy to rave the night away 

 

Guetta's crowd interaction was fab. He even jumped onto the DJ console and jumped along with us!

 

Among the rather touching and heartfelt things he said was:

"I'm so happy to be able to be here and play for you for the very first time"

"This is my first Asian tour. Looks like tonight is going to be the best night and the biggest Asian tour I've done. Over 20,000 people. WOW! Thank you for making it so special"

 

 

At one point he even brandished his French flag and waved it in the air!

 

Guetta also pumped up the crowd with his original tracks 'Sexy Bitch' feat. Akon, 'Love is Gone', 'Bad Girl'. 'Without You', 'When Love Takes Over', 'Turn Me On'. 'One Love, 'Memories' feat. Kid Cudi, 'Where Them Girls At' and a truckload more!

Other songs he remixed were 'Fix You' by Coldplay, 'Apologize' by One Republic, and I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas among many others.

 

Sillytimes!

 

Some of Guetta's older songs actually reminded us of our late teenage years where those famed songs will be blasting non-stop in all the clubs every weekend. 

FLASHBACK!  Think 2009's 'Sexy Bitch', 2007's 'Love is Gone' and 2009's 'When Love Takes Over' 

 

 

We sang along with him when his track went "I'M DAVID GUETTA, BITCH!" instead of "I'm in Miami, bitch!"

I found that very amusing; he was chuckling while playing that too. We could all see his smile from a mile away!

 

 

Here's a video I made of the event. Do watch it! I've spent quite a while on it :)

Watch out for the parts where David Guetta spoke to us in the crowd & jumped right on to the DJ deck with the explosion of sparklers and confetti bursts!

 

httpv://youtu.be/m5MYY3VX-UI

David Guetta & Alesso LIVE in Malaysia 2012. Enjoy! 


As Guetta clocked in his last 20 minutes of his set, boyfieKon and I decided to withdraw from the crowd & *finally* help ourselves to some ice-cold Heineken, hang out with some buddies and get a comfy place to sit down.

I didn't realize we've been standing & dancing for more than 3 hours! 

 

Hisham & us

 

Steve & us

 

Ben & I

 

Fireworks shot away from the stage and sky-rocketed into the air several times as David Guetta's set came close and closer to the end. It was magnificent! 

Looks like boyfieKon and I made the right choice to sit back and enjoy the more laidback crowd at the back lounging around compared to the insanity of the mosh pit.


Got an official photo taken for us! :D

 

Goldfish & Blink took over right after as the closing act of the night. They dropped various tracks by Hardwell, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Swedish House Mafia, Knife Party and many hours in their 1 hour set.

The DJ duo also included a never-heard-before song booming from the speakers. It was 'Flags', their latest, original track produced in collaboration with Sidney Samson.

It's not out yet, but we all heard it first! 

 

httpv://youtu.be/plGQNPnNCb4

Here's a little snippet to how it sounds like

 

We left soon after Goldfish & Blink finished their set. 

Wasn't looking forward to throng through the crowd all leaving at the same time but we made it.

 

We had some dimsum at Jalan Ipoh thereafter… and its good night to all!

 

 

So yes, that made my Friday a notch more exciting than usual. 

Raving & soaring to progressive, house & trance amongst 25,000 fellow EDM-ers.

A night of world-class DJs spinning, an impressive stage set-up & lighting, and good company.

 

Bring on the next rave! 

 

Thank you Future Sound Asia for a phenomenal night!

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 😀

 

Chilling at the bench during pre-drinks

 

I miss my Aussieguest Carly 🙁

Come back to Malaysia soon!

 

Venessa and I

ZoukOut once more hey? 😉

 

Take two! 😀

 

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 🙂

 

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! 😀

 

Squeeeeee! Carly piggybacked me 😀

 

Bumped into another Penangite, my old friend Sabrina 🙂

 

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! 😀

 

WHO IS READY TO JUMP? 😀

 

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! 😀 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! 😀

 

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! 😀 😀 😀

 

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 🙂

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 😀 😀

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

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!
