Wooohooo!
 

Can never stop living and breathing parties! 😀
 

Remember the 7aste Monte Carlo theme party I blogged about previously?
 

Well, what can I say? The event was really classy, very 'atas' if I do say so myself.
 

The first thing that greeted me upon entering Ecoba's premises!

Shiny sleek cars are love
 

Cool maximus numberplate!
 

I didn't know what to wear being it all Monte Carlo and stuff. Clearly, I can't be wearing like the usual short tube dresses and whatnot. So I dug up my non-Monte Carlo wardrobe and well, managed to find something black, longer and more elegant (I hope!).
 

Initially I was thinking of wearing the shiny long dress I wore for my college prom but didn't wanna end up overdressed! I doubt I'd be seeing suave looking gentlemen in coats and bow-ties anyway. Although that would be a sight to see! 😀
 

have always thought shawls make ladies look somewhat classier LOL
 

Me against the backdrop of 7aste!
 

Okay time to go in! 😀 Let's get the night started alreadyyyyy
 

Entrance looks pretty grand too!
 

Spotlights, camera, action 😀
 

Ooooh and one of the best parts of an event is always the polaroid or instant photographs. 🙂 I love those! You can hold a really grand scaled event, all hi-fi and whatnot but without these, the event would be less… meaningful. I mean, c'mon!
 

Brought my good friend, Kelly, along with me to the party
 

I have a polaroid version of this, blu-tacked onto my wardrobe doors. Thanks 7aste!
 

Everyone would love something to bring home for memories, whats better than a hardcopy which we all can put on our desks, dressing tables or magnet-ed on even our fridges! In fact, I've a collection of almost 30 polaroids from various events, pasted up on my memory wall!
 

So from now on, any event which I go devoid of polaroids, I shall deem incomplete and kiamsiap!! 😛 😛
 

the Penang trio Jerine, Calvin & me sippin' our wine. Thanks fo the pic gurl

White wine courtesy of 7aste! 😀
 

With them boys Serge & Mike 

And the finger food! 🙂 There were chicken, pies and lots more – all bite sized!
 

Gobble gobble gobble
 

Apart from wine, there was free flow of Carlsberg beer for us VIPs too. Yay! 😀
 

We can haz ice-cold beer all night looooooooongggg!

I love how events bring people together 🙂 There's always so much merriment in a party!

 With my pals Kelly and Andy!

Bumped into my fellow Penangmates Wen Hoong, Wei Ling & Jie Hu. We went to a scouts & guides Combined Training Camp (CTC) together back in 2004! Pleasant surprise meeting you guys again 🙂
 

*brainfreeze*
 

Candid shot of me downing the ice-cold Carlsberg
 thanks Lionel haha!
 

Other than great drinks, food, company, they pumped it up a notch by putting up Casino-like booths all around. There they were, counters of simulated "gambling" games such as Wheel of Fortune, Baccarat and so on.
 

The "dealers" were also very professionally dressed and groomed neatly. Just like the ones in the real casinos!
 

Here we are gaming in a round of Punto Banco, aka Player Banker
 

I miss Genting's Monte Carlo casino already! 🙁
 

Unlike the real casinos where you actually lose real  money if you lose a round, the one at 7aste was a good gamble. If you lose, you just… well.. be the loser for that round. LOL but if you win, you actually bring home a prize! 😀 😀
 

Had lotsa fun playing, to which I won a 2GB Pendrive & a 7 shaped ashtray! Hurraaahhh!
 

The performances too, were adapted from the real Monte Carlo style
 

Melikey the whole concept of this event! 😀 Very different, very classy, very… Nevada Las Vegas-ish too.
 

I had really good fun *hic* and perhaps one too many *hic* before leaving for my good friend, Chee Seng's houseparty to *hic* celebrate his 22nd birthday 😀
 

More piccies of buddies and I having fun throughout the night!
 

Sippin on more white wine with the buddy! 

With pimp daddy Leonard. LOL Thanks for the pic Kate! 🙂
 

Haha this photo has 2 watermarks because I ain't putting a heart, Sakura flower or pixelating THERE.

Thanks Simon , for the piccie! 🙂
 

Gurls just wanna have fun! 😀
 

And to end the night, I present you a very gangster-lovin player-attitude photo! 😀
 

Also another random photo taken by Serge hehe! 😀
 

Great night! :D Two thumbs up
 

So I totally missed the previous 7aste party held in Penang! Was already supposed to go for it with my homies after RSVP-ing a "yes". That one was held in 32 The Mansion and I was already looking forward. The whole feel of sophistication of their image makes me feel like living the experience for myself 😀 

But remember I had to head down to Singapore for Formula One (F1) Grand Prix?

Yeah. So that was why I had to give this particular installment of 7aste a miss!
 

But now guess what! Found out that 7aste Monte Carlo is coming to KL instead! Yays!
 

And its this Friday 8th October 2010 at Ecobar!!

Must.go.totally! 😀 Lucky me, as it's pretty close to where I live.
 

Oh yeah before I forget., I'd suggest you pre-register yourself at their flashy, dramatic webbie www.7aste.com cos if not, ya gotta pay 77 bucks upon entry. Yikes!
 

Gotta pick out the outfit first! It's a Monte Carlo theme. Think casinos, luxury, shiny cars and living the fast life.

See you there party peeps!

After I left Penang to come back to the city KL, I guess the homies and I missed each other's crazy hangout moments, parties, late night suppers and random pillow talking.

SO THEY ALL DECIDED TO MAKE A ROAD TRIP DOWN TO SEEEEE MEEEEEE

and as you already know from this post, we drove up Genting Highlands too for some fun.

Minny snapped this piccie of bestie Joyce and I

All of them crashed at my hood for the night

Not wanting to miss out on the KL party scene, they wanted in. I then brought them to where else but Zouk KL? That's my fave haunt on most weekends

Us getting ready… I begged Christopher to lemme make him up! 😛
 

and bestie Joyce joined the fun with some shimmery lip gloss!

FHL

We gave him the mirror and ran away. 😛 Needless to say, he cursed my whole house down and disappeared into the bathroom to wash everything off! bwahahhaha.

En route to Zouk KL

So we got there and hit the Mainroom and Barsonic. Our poor boys weren't able to enter Phuture as they were a year short of 23 LOL

(actually can one lahhhhh.)

Caught you red-handed Carter!

Thought you said you didn't smoke? muahahhaahhahahaa

Double Iconography ring by Soak Republic. So pretty right! My fave

My babe Minny and I coincidentally in blue 😀

When Penangites storm Zouk KL
 

Headed back home pretty damn late into the night. Took turns taking showers and couldn't exactly get to sleep after that.

Before we knew it, dawn broke and we packed out bags and hit the road. No sleeeep tonighttttt!

After a one hour journey, we arrived Genting Highlands!

Pretty damn coincidental that all of us were in hoodies!

Back indoors for a while for some lunch. As expected, we got ripped off! How could an average plate of Zhap Fan cost me 12 bucks?? And a normal bowl of Bak Kut Teh costed Joyce and Chris 42 bucks. RAWWWRRRRRR welcome to Genting.

My favorite girls in the world!

loves

We were talking loosely about the future one fine day and sorta made a pact that we would be each others' bridesmaid on our Big Day. But the question remains, which one of us will end up married first? 😀 😀 Guess only Paul the Octopus knows the answer!

Mirror mirror on the wall

Which girl will be first walking down the aisle?
 

Back outside.. time for the Pirate Ship! No not the lame ass Pirate Train but the Pirate Ship! I could remember riding this years back and got awfully nauseous! Let's just see if i can stomach it again this year!

Us waiting for the loooooooooong queue

by the time we got closer, we saw this signage.

Looks like we're not tall enough 🙁 Woe!

Kidding! We rode it anyway.

This is bestie Joyce and I
 

BEFORE

DURING!!!

It's a wonder how my camera didn't get flung 100 meters up in the air!

Played more rides and waited for more…

I'm a certified BB Addict 🙂

Mine was pimped courtesy of Berry Addictions! Go get yours done if you love your BB too!

And we finally reached my favorite ride of all time! The Flying Coaster ala Spiderman!

It's my fave because this is the only ride that didn't give me the butt-away-from-seat feeling which I so despise

because this ride required its patrons to STAND during the rollercoastering

not sit 😀 But we loved it anyway.

Sadly this wasn't the kinda ride where you can sit over and over again like the rest of the rides. This ride costs 10 bucks each time we enter. and I wonder why! 🙁 Maybe it's privately owned.. bah humbug.

Walked around catching a breather in the chilly weather

A short Vlog I did!

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T60u2_GA1E

😀 😀

okay where was I?

Yeah. the compulsory spot to take photos

Don't know why I never fail to do so with each visit to Genting!

Took a lil stroll around as some of the rides were closed for maintainence – namely the Corkscrew (damn!) and the Solero Shots. So we ended up in Jurassic Park look-a-like thingy and spotted this very STIM bird who was trying to keep his eyes open  :

Go sleep lah hou sum lei.

Don't need to entertain us one.

Mushroom land!

We kept exploring and arrived at the carnival part of the Outdoor Themepark.
 

You know how there would be fun fairs where simple games can be played to win big fluffy toys?

I had my eyes glued to this adorable sea horse!

Didn't exactly want to give those ring tosses a shot. Come ON! What are the odds your ring gets hooked onto that tiny stick? The probability of your bouncy tennis ball to nestle quietly into the pail 5 meters away from you are extremely slim anyway.

BUT!

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABQt1RjOxoE

IT'S SO FLUFFAAYYE WE'RE GONNA DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

We wanted it but Tannie tried…. tested…… and gave up LOL. Told you the odds were close to impossible. heh.
 

The one that the fat man with skinny pointy legs and equally pointy nose (sorry can't remember his name) aka stepdad managed to win for the adorable Agnes in the movie Despicable Me was just well…. VIOLENT. haha!

Saw lotsa people wearing this woolly hat thing too

Likewise, snowboots and winter jackets.

DOOOOOOD! IT REALLY ISN'T THAAAT COLD IN GENTING HIGHLANDS!

Minny and I even counted how many people were overdressed for winter that afternoon

Our Verdict : Malaysians have no where else to "winter dress" in Malaysia
 Genting is plausibly the best excuse to don pretty winter clothing

So as much as I would love to purchase this furry hat, I put it down in the end 🙁

But I will come back and buy it before I jet set to UK next year I swear!!!

*secretly hopes to go in time for winter*

Another Vlog!

😀 😀

Underground at the Rolling Thunder Mine Train

The queue was so long we decided to jump over the ledges and leave midway

Night fell and we kept ourselves (and pockets) busy at the Monte Carlo casino all night long! It's really amazing how time actually STOPS when you're in there, really. I had my rounds at Baccarat, French Boule, Roulette, Big & Small, Casino Wars and the rest.

Not gonna tell you how much I won (and lost) in total! 😛 Simply because.

Compulsory shot again

kthxbai! 😀
