FREEZE spellbounds us upon the stage of ice, magic and entertainment @ Genting International Showroom!

January 10, 2012 by thejessicat

 

Just before we ushered in the new year, I was invited by Resorts World Genting to witness their new resident show: a multi-million ringgit production of Ice, Magic & Entertainment aptly named 'FREEZE'.

I haven't been to Genting Highlands in over a year so I thought, hey, why not?

 

The journey up to the 'Fun City Above the Clouds' was a winding one. 

T'was cold when I arrived (to my surprise!) and a hot cuppa from Starbucks was all I needed

 

I brought my buddy & housie Pamela to the show with me as well

As soon as we got up there, we started dolling up for the show

 

As I was booked into First World Hotel, it was quite a fair bit of a walk for us. But no matter!

'FREEZE' was to be held at Genting International Showroom, in the same building as Resort Hotel.

 

YAY Finally arrived the showroom!

 

But first, we decided to dine before the show to avoid being cold & hungry in there!

So we went for the buffet dinner at Coffee Terrace Genting courtesy of Resorts World Genting! Thank you 🙂

 

At the entrance of Coffee Terrace Genting

 

Inside

 

There was a plethora of food available during the buffet. We were delighted to find a host of both international and local delights.

 

Alright, dinner beckons us! :D

Here, lemme show you some of what we had

 

 

 

Watching Chinese people cook really, really intrigue me.

Just look at those oppressive flames amongst the food –

 

Frying food with gigantic flames inside the wok for so long without burning the meals!


Cooking level : ASIAN

 

We were spoilt for choice looking at all those food and more! 

Here's something that got me ticking :

 

Not just an ordinary chocolate fondue fountain… it's a

A WHITE CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN!

Here were some of the choices we recommend from Coffee Terrace Genting :

 

Roast Turkey ham slices

 

New York Cheesecakes

 

And from our plates:

 

Butter Fish, Grilled Dory, Chicken & Beef Teriyaki, Seafood Aglio Olio, Tempura, Fried Soft Shell Crab

 

Tiramisu, Sushi & Maki, Chicken Sausage, Bread & Butter Pudding

 

Fresh Garden Pasta, Black Pepper Roast Beef

 

Other food worthy of not (which we didn't snap photos of) were :

Carrot Soup, Nyonya Chicken, Teochew Siakap & Century Egg Broth, Baby Prawn & Red Snapper, Lamb Kurma, Chocolate Chip Ice Cream with White Chocolate Sauce, Thai Green Curry & Beef Rendang. 

 

A definite must-try! 

 

We adjourned to Genting International Showroom at sharp 9PM

 

Ready?

 

Too excited to be spellbounded by world-class performers! 

 

Behold, the never-been-staged-before production is about to begin

 

 

The showroom has turned into one of the largest ice entertainment venue in Malaysia

 

 

This million-pound ice-rink was specially constructed for 'FREEZE', operating at a permanent -8°C

 

 

We were entertained with a vast array of magic, entertainment and acrobatic stunts all on ice!

 

 

It was stupendous, to say the least 

 

 

Apart from stunts and whatnot, there was a musically inclined performance

on the violin and graceful dances from a fusion of performers from Ukraine, Europe & Asia

 

Introducing the enchanting illusionist Anastasiia Birch from Ukraine!

 

She appears through an empty crystal box

 

Captivating us with her brand of illusion

 

We were wow-ed by many of her talents

 

Anastasiia performing her double levitation act

 

Anastasiia performing the World's Largest Turbine Illusion 

So dangerous my heart sank when I saw her disappear into the turbine and emerge from the other side!

 

 

To think that it has sank enough, I was so very wrong.

I literally gritted my teeth and had my fists in a gridlocked clench the moment I saw this – 

 

Anastasiia performing the World's Largest Drill Illusion

 ohmy.

 

Loved it when everything was set in flames

 

The Huachen Acrobatic Group from China induced a jaw-dropping and eyebrow-raising reaction from me

These flexible and limber daredevils blew me over with their agility, energy and nimble movements!!

 

They spun so fast and in so many degrees and angles I was seeing stars after they were done

 

Don't know how yall do it but, bravo!

 

They have most definitely set the bar as they fluidly contort, perform aerial trapeze acts, silk aerial acts and high-flying acts.

Wish I could've shown you more pictures but my eyes were really concentrating on their insane, rapid movements

 

The cast

 

It was such an amazing 75 minute production, it left us not only starstruck and beyond impressed.

'FREEZE' is one I'd truly recommend.

 

The photos and the experience I've just shared simply cannot do it justice!

If you wanna watch it for yourselves, details are as below:

 

It's often a full-house show, so log-on to www.rwgenting.com or call

for availability and booking to avoid disappointment 

 

And if you wanna indulge in the buffet just like ours, look here :

 

That's all for now. An amazing experience, no doubt.

My housies and I had so much fun at the themeparks and the casino thereafter.

 

'FREEZE' You heard it from me!

Don't miss any of those never-seen-before acts! 🙂

Fashion, music n' fun! The Underground Dominants of Project UNDO @ The Opera, Sunway

December 31, 2010 by thejessicat

 

One rainy afternoon on a Thursday, I made my way to Project UNDO.

LOL the tagline was something that goes along the lines of "too little time, too much to undo"

So kinkeh!

 

 

Anyway, its a series of Underground events which involves fashion and music. (Don't ask me why it's underground. It got me scratching my head in confusion too) And the dress code was 'UNDERGROUND'.

And! I had no idea in hell how to dress 'underground' so I resorted to wearing earthy, brown and ground colours. Thankfully, I found the one and only brown top I own. Looks like brown had never been my colour huh 😛

 

Yeah I was trying to look as brown and underground as possible.

Any browner and I'd turn into a mole or a pile of sand

 

Was there with my pals all the way from Penang and some of my gurls here! 😀

 

 

We all had lotsa fun and was treated to lotsa booze at the VIP terrace upstairs on the 2nd floor.

If i remember correctly, there was Johnnie Walker black label, Glenmorangie and beers throughout the night!

 

By the sofas & balcony

 

By the drinks bar

 

Finally, the show began. It took a good long 2 hours to start after its scheduled time.

The party was to begin at 7pm but it only began somewhere after 9pm. Grr! But issokay, good company and drinks kept us busy anyway

 

Cassandra Patrick was the MC while violinist Arthur Tan started the ball rolling for the night

 

Magic Show! See that girl lying on top of the sharp point? Insane.

Sorry fo overexposed shot but that's Rosen Roy the magician/illusionist in red

 

She could totally be a devotee for Thaipusam while she's at it, since needles and spears don't seem to hurt her.

Anyway, here's our view from the top terrace 🙂

 

 

Fashion show began and it showcased classic collections and some pretty unique pieces from local designers like Jimmy Lim, Joe Chia, Alexandrea Yeo, Allien Gan and MNEP 🙂

The gambit was instead of playing the same old "catwalk tracks" while the models are strutting down the runway, Project Underground saw local pop/punk/rock bands playing live for all of us.

 

Local punk rock outfit, An Honest Mistake!

 

And that's my friend Leonard playing right in front.

Can't believe he spontaneously followed suit and "catwalked" with the models as well LOLOL 😛

 

More and more performers took the stage and they were local DJs DJ Nas T and DJ Tareeq, Scottish DJ Dayshavoo, local rock band Underheadlights and 19 year old beatboxer Koujee.

Camwhoring and partying continues!

 

A tad off-focused but memorable all the same

We left somewhere past midnight.

It was a working day tomorrow yo! Can't stay up too late.

 

And just before I left, bumped into Andy at the doorway, and he took a shot of us.

One for the road babeh!

 

That was how my Thursday working weeknight was spent…. at Project UNDO!
