Arthur’s Day is here again! Taio Cruz takes the Malaysian stage high above the ground!

September 14, 2011 by thejessicat

 

I was thrilled to know that the 3rd annual celebration of Arthur's Day is gonna be just around the corner!

Was invited to the fabulous launch of Arthur's Day held at The Beer Factory in Sunway Giza a while ago

 

Arthur's Day is back again this year, bigger and bolder than ever!

Now that's what I'm talking about 

 

Once again, KL has been chosen as the only city in the Asian region to host the biggest Arthur's Day celebration! I was really pleased to know that 🙂 The 3rd time in a row?

Proud of us!

 

My fellow social media peeps and I

 

Photobombed by Lionel LOL

It was awesome that night as Guinness just kept coming!

 

Free flow makes all guests very happy people, no doubt about that 😉

Delicious, frothy, smooth pints of ice-cold Guinness on a Thursday night. What could be better?

 

Having attended the previous 2 Arthur's Day parties,

I am psyched to say that this year's line-up is going to be stellar!

 

Last year's Arthur's Day party featured Flo-Rida, Sean Kingston and Colby O'Donis while the Arthur's Day held the year before last featured Black Eyed Peas! I blogged about it – here

So, what about this year?

Taio Cruz, Mizz Nina and James Baum will be blowing our minds this Arthur's Day 2011! 

 

The entire front of The Beer Factory was decorated with Guinness balloons! 

 

Shot by the photo wall 🙂

 

But what really impressed us was this "entrance" to the party.

It was a life-sized harp – the logo of Guinness itself – all brightly lit too! Gigantic much?

 

Nice. I kept walking in and out of it – just for fun 

 

Plus, we all took pictures with it of course

How could you miss the iconic golden harp? 🙂

 

Thanks for the piccie Bok! 😀

 

With some of my fave foodie boys Tocky and Bok! 🙂

 

The central zone of Sunway Giza was all abuzz!

 

6 bands and singers alike took to the stage to compete against themselves to win the votes of the public.

 

Two winners will get a chance to be the opening act for the stellar line-up for Arthur's Day!

Who wouldn't want to share the stage with the dynamite himself, Taio Cruz? 

 

This is CSBTEA live in action!

They're really something new, with a genre they call 'post swag aquatic mammal rap'

 

And yes, that's a dolphin.

 

Watching the performances with an old friend! 🙂

 

To Arthur! We clinked our glasses & continued mingling about!

 

With Dwane – my former collegemate!

He's one of the members of CSBTEA now 🙂

 

With Kelly, Frank and a Guinness bigshot 🙂

 

The night is still young; another pint of Guinness for me please? :D

 

Frank! I'll be sure to drop by Sid's Pub when I'm back ye? 🙂

 

Tocky and I doing silly stuff with Lionel's fish-eye camera mode

 

We were chilling by our table enjoying ourselves with our glasses and glasses of Guinness.

One can never have too many – check out Mike on the left who's over and out already! 😛 Teehee.

 

All's well, end's well

 

Unfortunately, I won't be in the country this coming Arthur's Day as I will still be in the land Down Under

But Imma still let you in on how you can go. Here's some ways you can win passes anyway! 

 

Head on to www.facebook.com/guinnessmalaysia & follow the simple instructions

OR

Tune into Hitz.fm, Mix.fm, MY.fm or THR Raaga & participate in their on-air contest!

OR

Purchase Taio Cruz' album from Speedy Video or Rock Corner

 

Quickly! Thousands of money-can't-buy tickets to be won, so don't miss out 😀

I know I wouldn't, if I were to be in Malaysia on the 23rd of September!

 

Now, now. Promise you'll enjoy yourselves on my behalf okay? 🙂

 

Cheers, to Arthur Guinness!

Oh and tell Taio that he's to die for 🙂 Now, go forth and take on Arthur's Day with full steam ahead!!

Timbaland will no longer be performing in Malaysia for Arthur's Day. Why? Let's leave it as a question unsolved 🙂 Anyways, make way for Flo-Rida, Sean Kingston and Colby O'Donis instead!!! 😀

————————————-
 

 

Okay! I just got home after the Arthur's Day press conference held at @LIVE, Sunway Pyramid held a moment ago

 

Courtesy of Guinness, I was invited to the launch to discover the line up for the event, as they were gonna reveal it there and then!

Eggcited yet? 😀 😀

 

 

 

It was a pretty wet day and I reckon everyone was late due to the insane traffic snarl.

 

 

But ANYWAY!

As more guests started rollin' in, we mingled over ice cold glasses and glasses of frothy Guinness draft. I met lots of my friends there too! 😀 The more the merrier 🙂 🙂 Was great seeing lotsa familiar happyfaces there! Cheers loves! 😀 😀

 

 

Among the few friends whom I camwhored with 🙂

 

 

 

Nom nom nom frothy beer! I defo cannot wait for this year's Arthur's Day! The party of the year is back again yo 🙂 🙂 Enjoyed myself loads at last year's where the Black Eyed Peas rocked Malaysia! Bet this year's gonna be a blast again

 

 

FML got photobombed by Eu Veng while camwhoring!

 

 

 

Sippin' on some Guinness with Karen & Yuen Yee 😀

 

 

Oh and remember the #freebeer by Tiger I blogged about recently? 🙂 Was great bumping into Sean again! Guinness, Tiger whatever, it's all goood

 

 

Also, was a pleasant surprise to bump into my ex-colleague, the cute Ken Wei after so long too!

 

He's the editor of STUFF and one of the nicest people to me during my JUICE mag days! 😀

 

 

 

Okay okay! 😀 Enough about me and pals, it's time to reveal whatchu really really wanna know! 😀

 

 

Serena C and Adam Carruthers hosted the event

 

 

 

Who will be performing? Which artiste? *drumroll*

 

Introducing the line-up for Arthur's Day 2010!

 

 

Mizz Nina! 😀 Our local Hip Hop princess

 

I've blogged about her before with Colby Odonis

 

 

 

 

DJ Fuzz! He's one of our leading local DJs

 

And I absolutely love listening to him every weekend on Hitz party on radio 🙂

Makes me wanna hit the clubs almost immediately

 

 

 

 

Thaitainium! A very interesting play of words 😉

 

They're a popular Thai-American Hip Hop trio and last performed at MTV Asia Awards!

 

 

 

Pop Shuvit! Our fab local Hip Hop-Rap-Rock band!

They've been around for as long as ever yo 😀

 

 


But but but!

THAT'S NOT ALL 😀 😀 😀

Who dya think will be jet-setting all the way from the United States just for us?

 

 

Marketing Director Mark Jenner spills it all! 😀 😀

 

 

 

Yup, didn't you see it coming? 😀 😀

 

The star of the show will be none other than Timbaland the American Grammy Award-winning record producer, singer-songwriter, actor, musician and rapper!

 

 

If you've not heard of him, you're *probably* deaf OR

 

don't listen to radio nor Billboard top charts 😀

 

 

 

He's THAT BIG a name

 

Timbaland's the GOD of music to me (along with Pitbull), even my mom can recognize him on the airwaves (I guess I've managed to psycho her!) He's this very prominent producer and has produced the work of big names, shooting them to even bigger fame!


 

 

Peeps like Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Madonna, Katy Perry, Keri Hilson, Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey, Wyclef Jean, Shakira, Missy Elliott, Nelly Furtado, Jay-Z and the list goes on. I technically worship him, for the lack of a better word LOL! 😀 A true talent. And he'll be pumpin' up the beats just for us on Arthur's Day 😀

 

 

Thumbs up!

 

 

How to go? How to buy tickets? What tickets?

Because one is never enough 😉

 

Cheers and see you at Arthur's Day!

Mizz Nina & Colby O'Donis LIVE in Malaysia! 'What You Waiting For' album launch + showcase in Zouk KL

July 20, 2010 by thejessicat

 

 

 

 

Who goes to Zouk KL on a Saturday AFTERNOON? 😀
 

 

Hehe. Lotsa people did last Saturday. So did I! Courtesy of Hotlink, I attended to Mizz Nina's album launch and press conference. Thanks! The highlight of the event wasn't just about our local lass… by now, you would've already known who jetsetted all the way from USA for this too
 

 

Ohmy. Yes it's Colby. Colby O'Donis!
 

The talented music maestro who collabo-ed with our local Mizz Nina

 

 

Upon reaching, the event crew was already all prepared at the registration table.
 

 

They were all very friendly and welcoming. Especially this guy! 😀
 

The goodie bags came with lotsa stuff too!

 

 

Among the other goodies such as huge posters and stickers, I loved the pair of funky headphones as well as the black blinged tanktop. It comes from Mizz Nina's fashion and merchandise line in fact. Will share more in a bit 🙂
 

 

Brass bangle + Red zipper headband from Soak Republic
 

Piccie moments with the awesome crew
 

 

 

With fellow blogger Hafiz by the photowall 😀  Thanks to Hotlink for inviting us!
 

 

 

Upon entering Zouk, I caught sight of something very interesting on display. As I walked closer, I realized that they were all for sale. Those were the MizzNina's fashion line and merchandise I mentioned earlier
 

 

There were CDs of her 'What You Waiting For' album….
 

 

There was travel sets! 3 pairs of apparel for a weekend holiday, methinks 😀
 

 

 

But what really made my eyes widen and jaw drop was this…
 

 

ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY BUCKS O__O
 

Gotta be one hell of a Swarovski item hehe
 

 

 

It began immediately when everything was up and ready with the crowd. Clad in a pink tight bodycon dress, Mizz Nina made her appearance. She greeted all of us and gave us a warm welcome.
 

 


 

I like her blonde streaks!
 

 

 

She then performed with Noh Hujan in a beautiful acoustic rendition. According to them, it was played LIVE for the very first time
 

 


 

when the MC announced that  "Mizz Nina is going to be performing with her *COUGHS LOUDLY*,"
 

there's no surprise that Noh and MizzNina are somewhat dating 😉
 

 

 

After they were done with serenading the audience with melodious strumming and strong vocals, it's the moment that we had all been waiting for… the LIVE performance of Mizz Nina and Colby O for their popular track 'What You Waiting For'


"Babeh! I've never seen someone witchur body~
 

You make me wanna get this party starteddd~"
 

 

"Hey baby, come in tell me what this all, babehh, babehhh~
Tell me whatchu whatchu waiting for~"

 


 

"Babehh, I never seen someone with your body~
You make me wanna get a little naughty~"

 

"Hey babehh come in get it it's all yours, babeh, babehh~
Tell me whatchu whatchu waiting for~"

 

The performance was superb! I never thought I would see Colby O and Mizz Nina sing and groove right before my eyes.
 

 

Here are 3 short 10 second videos I have to share with yall 🙂
 

Watch it one after another kay!
 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMIjWXD1U10
 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L3IZiLGoFY
 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9rFLKHmGM8
 

 

Their onscreen chemistry was just as good as that of their offscreen's. Coupled with the booming bass music, the lighting and the energetic back-up dancers, it was an outstanding showcase indeed!
 

 

They danced with each other too
 

 


 

From my observation throughout the entire day, Colby seems like a shy guy with very litte words to say.
 

But when he was onstage, he really shone like the stars! Just as charming as I thought he would be from all his music videos including the ones he was featured in for Lady Gaga's and Akon's video


 


 

Together, they busted their moves and tore up the party!
 

It got the crowd raving on hard too
 

 


 

I also loved the way Colby spins around during their dance 🙂
 

 

 

Anyway!

If you haven't already watched the aforementioned 'What You Waiting For' track, you totally have to. Three 10 second videos from me ain't enough! This is a popular favorite off the album
 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO1JfvIm-Rg

No wonder Mizz Nina and Colby told us that they really had lotsa fun during the shoot!

They really look like they did *wiggles eyebrows*

 

 

During the press conference, they also told us that they had it filmed in downtown Los Angeles Guess what? The location was dubbed a "secret location" and the both of them only knew where it was gonna be 2 hours before shooting 😀

 

Mizz Nina and Colby O illustrated juicy bits of their lives, their performance and their shared experience
 

 

Spilling the beans yo!
 

Did you know that 'What You Waiting For' was actually recorded separately? She recorded her vocals right here in Malaysia while he recorded his in USA. It was then sent to the producer to get it completely mixed and mastered.
 

 

 

When I asked them if they were going to have any future plans or further collaborations, they mentioned that they would like to
 

"concentrate on this joint and international effort first before taking a step further" 🙂

 

Colby expressed his love for Malaysia as well. The scenery, the lovely women, the friendly "family" vibe of us Malaysians and the spicy food! Woots! Glad you love it here 😀 Come back soon!
 

 

So, what was the experience like working with each other?
 

They shared with us that they only "met each other for the 1st time during the filming of their music video" and

"had a lot of fun" during the shoot

 

 

So the whole time prior to the music video, they've never met! But thanks to technology, the collaboration was made possible 🙂
 

 

Mizz Nina then officiated her album launch

Congrats
 

 

 

We then proceeded outside along with them as it was time for some more photo moments against the photowall
 

 


 

Looking fine!
 

 

 

Their manager was nice enough to help me with this photograph despite being busy buzzing around. Thanks 🙂
 

 

Amidst the sweltering Malaysian weather! 😀
 

 

 

Had some outdoor shoots with them within the Zouk vicinity too

 


 

1..2..3.. POSE! 😀
 

 

Soon after, everyone got back inside for the round table session and to mingle with them over food and drinks.
 

 

We had a lil chit chat session going on and while Mizz Nina was being interviewed by some internet TV crew, I managed to speak to Colby O personally!! *swoons* We talked about the chain he was wearing as I was curious about the dragon pendant he had hung around his neck.
 

He also mentioned that he will only be staying in Malaysia until Sunday and will be leaving to Hong Kong after.
 

 

If you're reading this Colby, I almost died 😛 😛

Was a pleasure meeting you, I'm a big fan of your music and moves!

 

 

Remember the cute mini cupcakes I mentioned in this post?
 

 


 

Most of u were intrigued with the Mizz Nina cupcake
 

 

There were so so so so many of them. It came by the boxes! Lemme show you :
 

 

Teeny tiny sinfully yummy goodness! 😀
 

 


 

Hafiz and I enjoyed it thoroughly
 

 

 

By the time everything was over, we proceeded to leave the premises.

I had a huge shock for this was the first thing I saw!
 

 


 

WOW! THAT'S SOME INSANE QUEUE

And this was only half of the loooooooong line
 

 

Looks like they've got a massive fanbase here in Kuala-la-la Lumpur! 😀

Colby O’Donis of course! 😀 I was psyched to see them both perform before my eyes. Bet everyone there too was eggcited! Their duet and stage presence was brilliant by the way. Those back up dancers really dropped the beat too!

Loved the energy!
