Hello hello folks!

Sorry for not updating for a while, I was relatively busy with keeping busy, going out heaps with buddies, family and also traveling the Penang-Ipoh-KL routes several times back and forth.

One of those journeys in the car

Today will be a quick post. My laptop ran outta juice and I've left the charger somewhere in Penang.

Will blog a proper one soon; am using someone else's laptop now.

Anyway, here's what I've been up to for the past week!

Bid farewell to the other half and sent him off.

He'll be back in Australia for two months!

Had dinner at Pasta Zanmai with buddy Vincent

Highly recommended: Unagi Roll, Smoked Salmon Pizza

& Teriyaki Chicken Spaghetti

My Mr.BFF – Buddy Vincent and I!

9 years of friendship & counting

It was nightfall. I soon set off to GEO's cafe in Sri Hartamas for a hang out and catch-up session with my Aussiemate, Aaron.

He was down in Malaysia for a week!

Shisha take one!

Shisha take two!

My kakis for the night

T'was a splendid session! We had various conversations about almost everything under the sun.

Learnt so much especially about our different and highly contradicting perspectives. We ended it with more karaoke and chats thereafter.

Spotted an epic Superman bike one afternoon

On the road again!

This fortnight's simple nail art I did

(Why does my hand look so wrinkly in this photo OMG!)

Arrived my folk's place in Ipoh!

Remember Penny? Say hi!

Salmon Sashimi at Sushi King with the family

Did some work over a cuppa Cafe Mocha at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf!

Had dinner with Mr. BFF at one of my fave European dining spots ever-

at Indulgence Restaurant & Living!

We had chicken and two pots of tea before heading out for the night.

I didn't have the time for an OOTD shot so this will have to do!

Beer towers of Strongbow Cider!

The night ensued at Bricks & Barrels Gastrobar and Beer Garden, Ipoh with the rest.

It was a memorable night of friendship, reminiscence, drinkies, truth or dare and silly challenges. We made the most of that night like we're gonna die young.

(Yes, I know it's a Kesha song)

My flaming shot – Chocolate Fire! A superb mix of Kahlua, Baileys & Rum

Take my hand, I'll show you the wild side

The morning after felt like my head traversed into an epic wreckage.

Ahhh… hangovers. How I miss thee.

That didn't stop me from making a trip back to Penang later that day.

But going back means having to be apart from my babyChivas (My father, being the only person in the whole world who doesn't like babyChivas)

So I bid adieu to my babyboy. Mr.BFF took over & babysat him while I was away!

Thank you so much!

Being back in Penang, I was able to catch my Aussiemate Carly who was down for her honeymoon.

Just being girls at Austin Chase @ Queensbay Mall

Our afternoon of catching up over food, shopping, coffee, gossip, taking photos, long conversations were plenty fun!

So glad we managed to catch each other this trip.

Oh by the way, since I'm always posting decent photos of myself, here's an ugly photo to balance the ratio up a little LOLOL

So candid! I reckon I was expressing my disgust at something.

Found that picture so unglam yet hilarious at the same time haha!

Headed back home for some kick-ass sessions at the gym

Just part of today's routine, among others

My following week will be spent in Penang, leading up to Chinese New Year.

Being back made me realize how much I miss being in the comfort of my own home I grew up in. Being with the family, having regular home-cooked meals, not having to do my own laundry nor dishes, not having to pay rent.

But on the plus side, I appreciate the freedom and independence that comes with living away from home. I guess you can't have the best of both worlds, huh.

By the end of the week, Mr.BFF came over to Penang and brought me back my son!

Reunited with my boy again made me so happy.

I hope your god daddy has been treating you well!

Here's my current earworm that I relate very well to. Love the music video the most!

Song of the week:

NERVO & Hook N Sling – Reason

Here's wishing you a great seven days ahead!

More to come soon, once I get my laptop charger back

Much love,

Jessicat

The Sunday Times is a weekly series; published every Sunday night to recap the highlights of my week, capture what piques my interest and to briefly highlight my recommendations for to-go and to-eat places!

Some of the photos in this edition are posted instantly on my Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr & Facebook

Do follow to get instant updates and pretty photos of the sights & sounds all around me!

I grew up a die-hard fan of Harley Davidson superbikes… boys' toys or not.

Those sleek, wicked, mean machines zooming at top speed leaving people blown away by their envy-inducing trail are no match to any two-wheeled demons on the road. 

Or at least, that's how I feel.

Ergo, needless to say, I was over the moon when I received an invitation by Harley Davison Malaysia for an exclusive screening of Marvel's Avengers with Harley (in IMAX 3D!) experience one fine afternoon 

#AvengerswithHarley GOGOGO!

I was thrilled when the day finally came & got my aviators, leather jacket, studded boots & bag out 

To ride my dream two-wheeled monsters in a bikerchic outfit and leave my dust behind?

Priceless.

Brought along the other half to join me in my adventure!

We were both extremely excited 

When we reached Harley Davidson Malaysia's headquarters, I could already feel the suspense kicking in.

Brace yourself, Jess! Here we go 

Harley Davidson Malaysia

Entered the premises. The interior consisted of a shopping, decorative & a superbike display corner

Saw this gorgeous one right in front of me in shiny, blood red.

How is it possible not to fall in love? 

We just HAD to take a photo with this beauty right here

Rode it too (albeit not on the road) 

Clearly, we're both loving this

But this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Thanks for this fish-eye photo, Tocky! 

Spotted some really cool miniature motorbikes on the cashier counter too.

Take a look! 

Adorable!

Same bike – from the other angle!

Bumped into some familiar faces there.

Yay! The more the merrier  What's a thrill ride without friends? Among them were :

Buddy Tocky and I. One of my first buddies here ever since I relocated to the city.

We go a long way back! 

Rina! She's a popular local TV host here in Malaysia btw 🙂

Jehan Miskin sure had a great time on the bikes too!

Anyway, I came across another scarlet red beauty.

One day, I will get a Harley for myself and it can sit prettily at my front porch on the days I don't need a powerful, extraordinary riding experience (or simply to intimidate people on the road) 

Me gusta.

More models on display!

My rocker boyf on on of the edgy Harleys!

And that's me on one of them!

Peekaboo!

I noticed that every different model has a distinctive Harley Davidson logo 

Take a look?

Pretty damn cool, right? Which one is your favorite? 🙂

Spotted these three monsters.

Gorgeous. But…now, doesn't it look like something is missing?

That's better *giggles* 

All lined up in their utmost glory

Waiting for an equally hardcore owner to take them home, methinks? 

I want one too! 

Here's a classic looking one.

Made friends with one of the HOG group boys 🙂

After all the admiring and enthusing over those high-powered motorbikes, we had a buffet teabreak.

A little trivia game was being played. Questions were asked about Harley Davidson bikes and the Avengers

And I won myself an orange Harley Davidson cap! 

Was so happy, I initially wanted to purchase one of their caps as well

After the meal, we decided to check out the rest of the bikes parked outside.

All those bikes already have hardcore, biker alpha-males that own them and ride them in style!

Posing with another gorgeous Harley!

The owner was smiling at me while I was taking photos with his bike LOL

I think he can tell I love it heaps 

The other half and I at the giant poster of Harley Davidson 2nd Anniversary of KL

Close-up!

As today was the Harley Davidson x Marvel's Avengers day, check out this specially designated bike!

Looks like Captain America was gracious enough to lend us his superbike for the day hehe 

Rina and I with our other halves, Jeremy & Kon! 

Saw this at the front of one of the bikers

MAD LOVE FOR SKULLS AND LEATHER! 

This will be my bike for the day

And with me, is my rider 

All safety was ensured and locked in before we began our Harley Davidson convoy to Sunway Pyramid!

I was roaring, rolling and ready to go! The thunderous roars of these superbikes also proved that our mean machines were equally as ready to zoom down the highway 

And we're off in full swing!

Traffic stopped for us and couldn't take their eyes off us.

For a second there I felt empowered and liberated… LIKE I'M THE QUEEN OF THE ROAD!

Yep.. riding a Harley Davidson just does that to you.

It was exhilarating

We were surrouunded by police and road marshalls body-guarding us.

They did a fantastic job making sure the traffic is smooth just for us.

We took up the entire middle lane in the three-lane highway.

Us cruising along the Federal Highway

It was a roller coaster ride indeed. The adrenalin rush in me was like no other!

I was the speed demon and the road warrior I envisioned myself to be.

We ruled the highways 

VROOOOOOOM VROOOOOOOOOM!

Our convoy arrived at Sunway Pyramid after what felt like such a short time on the road!

The experience was amazing and riding those Harleys really leaves you craving for more

Arrived!

We were loud and definitely made a statement with our grand entrance.

Throngs and throngs of people gathered around us and kept cheering us on!

We really did steal the limelight; arriving in grandeur with our Harley Davidsons!

Leboyfie and I with our 3D glasses at the screening of The Avengers in TGV's IMAX theater!

The End! The credits rolled and I must say, I certainly enjoyed the movie.

My childhood came to life upon watching these dudes on the big screen again

We exited the cinemas and adjourned to the streets again.

There, our Harley Davidsons (and our riders!) were waiting for us 

Made friends with the HOG (Harley Owners Group) boys!

Check out the badges they've collected over the years

I simply cannot believe we were going home… ALREADY? 

Well.. at least we're going home in style. Guess I better enjoy my final ride on the Harley today!

The Avengers Harley Davidson parked at Sunway Pyramid

Night riding on the Harley Davidson superbikes cruising along the highway was amazing. 

The chilly night breeze blew against my cheeks as the superbikes went at almost 100KM/H (unfortunately we have speed limits on this particular highway). I wanted this final joy ride to last forever.

We have arrived the Harley Davidson KL's outlet once more.

Today, Harley Davidson made me a very happy girl.

And for that, I am eternally grateful 

I checked off one thing off the bucket list –

To speed down the highway in a lean, mean Harley Davidson superbike 

If you've not ever rode on a Harley Davidson before, you're surely missing out. 

One ride on a Harley's will make you feel like this

Inside, your biker soul is burning in full intensity like this

Take my word for it, it is ONE . HELL . OF . AN . EXPERIENCE.

Harley Davidson superbikes are certainly a class of its own 

To Harley Davidson Malaysia & Echosphere, I truly experienced the ride of my life 

Thank you, guys! 

Now I want a superbike. Hmph.

Ohai there! It's 4 am now and I can't sleep. Insomniac much?

Anyway, here's the weekly snippet of what I've been up to again, condensed in one blogpost!

Ducati Monster 795 World Premier @ Rootz KL

Superbike helmet – in my possession 

Anyone up for a ride you'll never forget? 😀

Haha! The only time I've ever ridden on a bike was back when I was still in highschool.

Pretty badass, if I do say so myself, albeit the fact that I was only the pillion rider hehe 😛 😛

Picked up my gurls and off we went

Kelly and I grabbing a photo in my car 😀

The Ducati Monster 795 World Premier was pretty big.

Heaps of people everywhere and the food was just amazing! 🙂

Helen and I inside the VVIP lounge

Oh and I forget to mention that the theme of the party was white; hence most guests were seen in white

No matter how hard I stared at my bursting wardrobe, no articles of white clothing seem to strike me as suitable for this particular event. Heck. I hardly wear anything in white – at all! 

Eventually, I decided on something which I found rather stylish, a Lady Gaga inspired short dress and wore it with sheer black stockings, my dark red boots & a white top hat! 😀 😀 

Rebecca and I chilling on the couch

And here's us at the photo wall, pitched someone's helmet just because it looked cool 😀

The Ducati Monster 795 still mysteriously covered from the eyes of the public….

has been officially unveiled in Malaysia!

Isn't she a beauty, mate? 😀 😀 

It sure blows your mind the moment you lay eyes on it!

Congratulations on a successful launch! 

4PLAY @ ZOUK CLUB KL

So one Thursday on ladies' night, we just decided to hop into the car and dance the night away

Let my hair down and hit the dance podium without a care in the world

Sometimes, a girl really needs to do whatever makes her happy like no one's watching

I sure did that very night! Was busy shuffling to all the amazing tracks that was thumping so hard on the bass

Boombox magnifique!  

And I'm glad I wasn't alone 😀

Had a few drinks with the rest of the Monash peeps at the table

and supper & shisha after the sesh as usual

Phuture weekend benders!

Pre-drinks: Absinthe, Vodka, Redbull, Tequila, Jack Daniels & wine

Still standing hey! 😀

Phuture's jumping tonight!

Okay to be honest, I hardly go to Phuture anymore.

All because it just feeds us R&B and mainstream shit that is repetitively played on radio anyway. I might as well put on Hitz.FM or Fly.FM in my room all alone and dance or party by myself cos it honestly makes no diffie.

Barsonic is the real shizz right there, with heavy bass, incredibly talented DJs/spinmasters producing uplifting music which never fails to putcha in a state of trance and bring turbulence to the crowd!

But since we always go to Barsonic each time we hit Zouk, we kinda decided to something different for a change. 

Which was ironically, something we did for a change a long time ago & never look back since – until tonight.

To go to Phuture.

My gurls and I 😀

Swedish buddy David and I

Couzzie Kelvin and I

Couzzie Madelene and I 

The housies and I 😀

Just another weekend of fun and all things trippin' 

Have a good week ahead lovelies!
