As if the tidal wave of rave parties and music festivals has been decreed to remain on a continuous high all year round, we now have yet another exciting event to look forward to this weekend.

A 12-hour endurance rave, no less!

I personally am still replenishing my depleted energy from the back-to-back rave last Friday and Saturday, but I bet I’ll be fine come this Saturday for Mysterious – Journey to the Sound. Certainly not going to miss this for the world.

Let me tell you one thing. If you’re a fan of vocal trance, progressive house and electro, you will be in for a treat as Mysterious Asia – Journey to the Sound is hosting some of the world’s most talented acts this weekend.

And that’s a wrap! A brief introduction on all the international acts.

Now it’s your turn to get to know them and their music this weekend, yeah? Big Boss

 

Oh, and on a side note, I will be interviewing Bobina as well as Tenishia before their set.

If you’re particularly interested in something about their lives/DJing or anything at all, do let me know if there are any questions you want me to ask them.

I will try my best to accommodate your questions into the interview! 😀

Presenting the House of Guinness – Phat Barrels KL @ Publika Shopping Gallery

January 25, 2014 by thejessicat

 

With the walls of this brand new tavern plastered with interesting beer-oriented decor and teeming with all things Guinness, it is no wonder why Phat Barrels KL is heralded the ‘House of Guinness’.

This latest addition to Publika’s line-up of watering holes had a seemingly cosy your-local-neighbourhood-pub setting to it, with dark wooden furnishings, exposed brickwork, bare granite walls, tall beer barrel-shaped tables and olden-day, monochrome artwork illuminated by dim spotlighting.

 

By the bar of Phat Barrels! Cool

 

Yes, you peeps totally should. Why? Read on. 😀

 

Last Thursday, I was invited to the soft launch of Phat Barrels for a night of live music, delicious pub grub, imported/micro-brews/hand-crafted beers and an engaging atmosphere.

New kid on the block is looking packed on the first day!

 

Let’s give this new watering hole a little tour, shall we? Big Smile

 

 Celebrations always seem synonymous with balloons, streamers and bright colours!

(( Outfit of the day)) Jessicat wears:

Dress by Miss Selfridge |Black pumps a gift from dearest Uncle Mike

| Accessories by Diva | Bag from a bazaar in Singapore

 

 Gorgeous usherettes serving us canapes!

 

 The overall look and feel of Phat Barrels KL

 

Patrons enjoying their beer towers and munchies!

 

Sephia Guinness-themed artwork framed on the walls.

 

Here’s my favorite! Cheers, Obama! 😀 Drink up!

 

The barrel-like tables of Phat Barrels.

 

The popcorn machine  piqued my interest!

 

And we only know good things can pop out of that machine!

 A night’s treat of Guinness-flavoured popcorn.

 

 Most people flock to Phat Barrels for three main things – to dine, tap and chill!

 

 And that’s exactly what we did all night.

 

On to the first – DINING!

Here are some of the European pub grub we had for dinner, courtesy of Phat Barrels.

 

 Lamb Shank

The portion was of a sizable wonder! This was tender, delicious and definitely marinaded very well too.

 

 Spaghetti Aglio Olio

I didn’t taste it but my buddies who did had no complaints!

 

 The Bavarian Platter

Strictly for sharing unless you have a the appetite of the whole African continent

It probably doesn’t look huge from the photo but trust me, it is! Several of us shared this with delight.

It consisted of chicken fillets, beef back ribs, beef short ribs,

two different kinds of sausages, and a serving of fries.

 

Beef Sirloin Steak

This was done medium. Loved how juicy this was! The sauce complimented the meat superbly.

 

Second – TAPPING!

We had free-flow of Guinness towers and other beers by the Guinness-Anchor group.

What I’m sipping on is a tall glass of Tiger Radler!

Check out what Guinness did later in the year at their AMPLIFY Live Tour here if you’re into soulful music and good beer!

 

On to the third – CHILLING.

Cue the party pictures for the night with some of my fave girls and boys. Enjoy!

 

 

We dined, tapped and chilled the night away over live entertainment by local band 9 Lives.

I had fun singing along to their crooning of popular R&B, soothing Blues and contemporary Pop Rock numbers!

 

Band set up by the raised platform of Phat Barrels.

 

Picture credits to Kee

Lead singer Joy’s melodic voice and the band’s instrumental skills

was the perfect musical accompaniment of our evening.

 

Thank you Phat Barrels, for having me on a fantastic night of celebration and weekday evening escape!

 

Now do you know why you totally should’ve been here?Big Smile

My 24th Birthday | Episode Four: Partying it up all thanks to The Pool KL!

October 1, 2013 by thejessicat

Finally! After all the urgent commitments to other more important posts, I can finally continue where I left off from my birthday series. Ladies and gents, today’s post will be Part 4 of my birthday celebrations.

Here are the previous ones!

Birthday Part 1

Birthday Part 2

Birthday Part 3

I did mention that I did not want to throw a huge smashin’ birthday party again like I do every year as it somehow always ends up an imperative that I get drop dead drunk.

 

 

However, The Pool KL so graciously decided to sponsor me a smaller party at their premises and even gave me a bottle of Smirnoff vodka to enjoy with my guests.

How could I refuse such a sweet gesture?

 

Thus, I found myself making invitations to give my closest friends outside my social media circle.

Only because if I were to include buddies from my industry, I would take up the entire venue!

 

So with all my guests RSVPing (despite the last minute invitation, sorry!) the plans for my small, cosy birthday party was ready to rumble! Let’s just hope it goes regardless of the number of pax – it’s the company that matters after all, not the quantity!

 

We arrived in style at and waited for the rest of our buddies.

 

The Pool KL was looking really pretty that night!

 

Couldn’t help but to take photos with the bar, the pool and the pretty lights while waiting!

 

Not too long after, my guests started to arrive one by one.

Cue the party photos!

 

Yay! Larry, my first guest arrived!

 

Gradually, more and more of them began trickling in. Second and third to arrive was Jeffro and Hisham!

 

Cheers!

 

Then my girlies Pam and Ning arrived! 😀

 

Not long after, my long-time buddies Anis and Sharlyn walked in!

 

Wheeeee reunion photo! We go back all the way to 2007

 

Sarah made it despite having troubles with the cab driver. Mwah!

 

The more the merrier!

 

Smile!

 

Apart from The Pool KL’s bottle of vodka, we also got ourselves more drinks!

 

All of us at the table!

 

Before we knew it,  we were treated to a “first class” full frontral view of a pyro act!

From fire-twirling, fire-eating, fire-breathing, fire-juggling and so much more.

 

What a daredevil act of bravery! I’ve always been intrigued by fire.

But little did I know that I would be picked by the folks of The Pool KL to join the stuntman for a fire performance.

 

 

As frightened as I was, I gave it a go. Performing with fire on my birthday? Heck, why not? Bucket list checked!

I recalled my similar experience fire-twirling back in Australia so I decided that I shouldn’t be as frightened anymore. Mustering all the courage I had in me, I then braved myself to lick the flames and to also do a little bit of fire-twirling – sorry, I was a tad rusty! It has been a couple of years after all.

 

 

Here’s a short video footage of my playing with fire in front of everybody!

I must admit, it was rather daunting but I hope I pulled it off alright.

Video credits: Jeff Ong

Thanks so much for the video Jeffro! x

 

After the fiery act, we continued partying!

I began to pour more rounds of neat vodka for my buddies.

 

Straight from the bottle!

(P/S: Damn I know I look quite cock-eyed here but alas, it’s the only picture I have of this!)

 

Pretty sure finishing this would be no problem, right guys? 😉

 

Bottoms up!

 

Selfie! Damn my huge fat face seems to take up almost half this photo.

 

Sarah love and I! xo

 

Big smiles to friendship and beyond!

 

Another one for the road!

 

Thank you so much, everyone for taking the time to come all the way here to celebrate my birthday with me over a couple of drinks, chit-chatting and music! Your company really meant a lot.
Thanks for the lovely birthday presents as well!

 

Last but not least, thank you The Pool KL for hosting me a great night and a great birthday experience.

Later into the night, we found ourselves moving on to Zouk for an after-party as I was given a 10 pax guestlist to fill in. Yay! So much for not wanting to party hard huh…

 

To be continued! 😉

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.

Wanna go to Heineken’s Kick-off to Ibiza Finale Challenge Party? | Mines Wellness Hotel KL

April 25, 2013 by thejessicat

 

It's that time of the year again where all the parties seem to collide back-to-back with each other every weekend (and even weekday nights).

So, before you guys ask me what parties there are lined up for this week, I'll let you in on some details!

 

One of the many events that will be happening this weekend is Heineken's Kick-off to Ibiza party!

 

I received a very creative and crafty invitation from Heineken early this week

It was in the form of a message in a bottle! Sweet yes

 

Thanks to Heineken, I have had the pleasure to party at almost all their music and rave parties alike.

And honestly? I really have to give it to the folks at Heineken for all the incredible parties they throw!  They really, really know how to win every avid partygoer's heart. heart

 

Heil, Heineken! wink

 

Take these pictures from last year's Heineken Progressive Party, for example.

 

GREAT MUSIC

A long night of bass-jacking tracks and progressive beats! devil

 

 

 

GREAT TIMES AND FREE-FLOW OF HEINEKEN

Good times with buddies and party-mates and not remembering how many bottles we all chugged! cool

 

 

 

GREAT LOCATION

Where else but my homeland, Penang Island?

 

At the classy Mansion 32 along Upper Penang Road

 

They transformed the entire dining area into party central!

 

See? Told you I've always had good times at Heineken parties. 

This time round, Heineken's going to bring their party-scene a notch higher.

 

Recognize this place?

 

Ring any bells yet?

 

How about now?

 

Are you sure?

 

IT'S IBIZA, BABY! PARTY CENTRAL OF THE UNIVERSE, HOT DAMN! cool

 

The clock is ticking as the Heineken Ibiza Final contest officially ends this Saturday. Heineken is giving Malaysians the chance to watch the screening of UEFA Champions League (UCL) Final VIP-style in the party capital of the world – Ibiza, Spain.

The only catch is that the Heineken Ibiza Final tickets are hidden in a secret location somewhere in Klang Valley and fans are encouraged to collaborate via social media activities in order to be one step closer to finding out where the tickets are! devil

 

 

Once the location is revealed, 80 lucky football fans will be invited to participate in the Heineken Ibiza Finale Challenge where they will have to display their skills through a combination of charm, imagination and inventiveness to be rewarded with this ultimate football and music experience.

Hmm.. I wonder what they have to do… angelangel Heh. Heh. Heh.
