I'm still buzzing from Friday's massive David Guetta rave! My body hurts all over, but the pain is oh-so-good.

You know you've been to a hell of a wicked party when you wake up with a sore neck & shoulders, painful calves & aching arms. Friday night saw more than 20,000 revellers at the Paddock Parking of our famed racing circuit, the Sepang International Circuit.

I'm ready for a night of mayhem!

*disclaimer*

Didn't feel like lugging my DSLR camera around as I planned to party the hardest.

So all the photos in this blogpost are taken by the iPhone 4S 

Selca while waiting for boyfieKon to get ready – one of the rare moments I'm

ready before him because I've got so little clothes on LOL 

When it rained all day on Friday, I was fully prepared to rave the night away away nonetheless.

Double outfit of the day!

I chose a rainbow-coloured coordinate while boyfieKon wore his comical Futurama tee

Come rain or shine, the show must go on, yes?

But thankfully, the EDM gods must've heard our plight & stopped the rain before the event even began!

I headed down to Sepang with boyfieKon along with my buddies Larry & Sabrina.

The crowd

We missed local electro-techno DJ Xu & Australian DJ Kaz James' set upon arrival. Bummer! 

But we managed to watch the full set of Alesso, David Guetta & our homeboys DJ duo Blink & Goldfish. 

The very second I arrived, I put on my Ray-Bans & dived straight into the raging mosh pit, as usual!

What's a rave party if you sit at the sidelines and not get down raving, jumping, shuffling, headbanging your heart out? I just had to. The atmosphere was beckoning me – couldn't resist! 

We were trying hard not to get pushed and shoved even more when we took this photo! 

Shakey shakey!

boyfieKon and I at the crazy mosh pit! 

Alesso was spinning while I was springing along with full gusto!

The energy in me was roaring to go all out tonight.

I went beserk when 'Raise Your Head' was playing LIVE before me.

Oh Alesso!! 

Met up some friends at the mosh pit and I was so stoked! 

What are the odds? Bumping into your friends in a sardine-packed crowd of tens of thousands?

Buddy Hisham was one of them 

So glad to bump into buddy Anis at the mosh pit!

No, actually, we didn't bump into each other 

She called to ask where I was and managed to squeezed through the violent mosh pit just for me!

Major love for my girl, Anis 

I was actually surprised she was here!

Looks like there was more of a partygirl streak in her that I didn't know 

More camlovin'! 

boyfieKon joined us 

Friday night was also the first time I heard 'Every Chance We Get We Run' – a collabo between Alesso & David Guetta – which you can check out on the latter's latest album : Nothing But the Beat 2.0.

Alesso dropped many familiar tracks including all his original tracks and shot us to the sky with the mighty ones that clinched the #1 spot on Beatport!

Do you remember which ones? The atmosphere was uplifted yet again with 'Years' and 'City of Dreams'.

Milkyway backdrop!

I looked up to the sky, raised my hands and sang (screamed, actually!) along to the beautiful lyrics.

Don't know about the rest. I was flying high as a kite to take notice of everyone else around me.

But I'm pretty damn sure everyone else enjoyed themselves during Alesso's set. I know I did 

Loving the cityscape backdrop!

He ended his 1.5 hour set with crowd-favorite, 'Calling (Lose My Mind)' – a 2011 collaboration with Sebastian Ingrosso, paving the way our main headliner, David Guetta to steal the show.

We yelled for an encore but Alesso didn't return 

While waiting for the next act

Moving on….

David Guetta's entrance was nothing short of dramatic. See it for yourself! 

The helicopter-chopping sound effects & background music of his grand entrance reverberated from the giant sound systems surrounding the rave zone, invoking much suspense and anticipation from us all.

Thousands of us were chanting, "GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA! GUETTA!"

Finally… our World #1 DJ made his debut appearance in Malaysia!

He kick-started his 2 hour set with 'Titanium' featuring Sia which shot us all into a delirious frenzy.

YOU SHOOT ME DOWN! BUT I WON'T FALL!

I AM TITANIUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM!

I then started live-tweeting the songs he played for my friends, readers & followers who were unable to be there!

The first 5 songs Guetta performed were :

'Titanium' feat. Sia, 'She-Wolf' feat. Sia and a remix of 'Quasar' by Hard Rock Sofa, 'Sexy Bitch' feat. Akon and 'Craissy 2k12' by DJ Obek.

The moment I heard the very hint of 'Metropolis', I went absolutely crazy! 

I loved the song so much. It was a collaboration between Guetta & Nicky Romero

A colossal burst of shimmery confetti then filled the night sky as David Guetta dropped a deeper, pulsating beat to move our feet.

He sure had the bass tomelt the face!

Silly selca with confetti paper which landed on me

I traversed into a state of ecstasy and raved like no one was watching.

LOL candids that boyfieKon snapped

Being amongst an exuberant crowd jumping in unison felt like we all came here for one sole reason.

To gather in the name of EDM and muster all our energy to rave the night away 

Guetta's crowd interaction was fab. He even jumped onto the DJ console and jumped along with us!

Among the rather touching and heartfelt things he said was:

"I'm so happy to be able to be here and play for you for the very first time"

"This is my first Asian tour. Looks like tonight is going to be the best night and the biggest Asian tour I've done. Over 20,000 people. WOW! Thank you for making it so special"

At one point he even brandished his French flag and waved it in the air!

Guetta also pumped up the crowd with his original tracks 'Sexy Bitch' feat. Akon, 'Love is Gone', 'Bad Girl'. 'Without You', 'When Love Takes Over', 'Turn Me On'. 'One Love, 'Memories' feat. Kid Cudi, 'Where Them Girls At' and a truckload more!

Other songs he remixed were 'Fix You' by Coldplay, 'Apologize' by One Republic, and I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas among many others.

Sillytimes!

Some of Guetta's older songs actually reminded us of our late teenage years where those famed songs will be blasting non-stop in all the clubs every weekend. 

FLASHBACK!  Think 2009's 'Sexy Bitch', 2007's 'Love is Gone' and 2009's 'When Love Takes Over' 

We sang along with him when his track went "I'M DAVID GUETTA, BITCH!" instead of "I'm in Miami, bitch!"

I found that very amusing; he was chuckling while playing that too. We could all see his smile from a mile away!

Here's a video I made of the event. Do watch it! I've spent quite a while on it 

Watch out for the parts where David Guetta spoke to us in the crowd & jumped right on to the DJ deck with the explosion of sparklers and confetti bursts!

httpv://youtu.be/m5MYY3VX-UI

David Guetta & Alesso LIVE in Malaysia 2012. Enjoy! 

As Guetta clocked in his last 20 minutes of his set, boyfieKon and I decided to withdraw from the crowd & *finally* help ourselves to some ice-cold Heineken, hang out with some buddies and get a comfy place to sit down.

I didn't realize we've been standing & dancing for more than 3 hours! 

Hisham & us

Steve & us

Ben & I

Fireworks shot away from the stage and sky-rocketed into the air several times as David Guetta's set came close and closer to the end. It was magnificent! 

Looks like boyfieKon and I made the right choice to sit back and enjoy the more laidback crowd at the back lounging around compared to the insanity of the mosh pit.

Got an official photo taken for us! 

Goldfish & Blink took over right after as the closing act of the night. They dropped various tracks by Hardwell, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Swedish House Mafia, Knife Party and many hours in their 1 hour set.

The DJ duo also included a never-heard-before song booming from the speakers. It was 'Flags', their latest, original track produced in collaboration with Sidney Samson.

It's not out yet, but we all heard it first! 

httpv://youtu.be/plGQNPnNCb4

Here's a little snippet to how it sounds like

We left soon after Goldfish & Blink finished their set. 

Wasn't looking forward to throng through the crowd all leaving at the same time but we made it.

We had some dimsum at Jalan Ipoh thereafter… and its good night to all!

So yes, that made my Friday a notch more exciting than usual. 

Raving & soaring to progressive, house & trance amongst 25,000 fellow EDM-ers.

A night of world-class DJs spinning, an impressive stage set-up & lighting, and good company.

Bring on the next rave! 

Thank you Future Sound Asia for a phenomenal night! 

Ohai lovelies! It's Sunday again.

Feeling a little sleepy now but here's my weekly edition of The Sunday Times, as promised!

Apart from cooking & eating (LOL I sound like sucha fatty!), studying & working, I didn't do much fun this week except…

THE FREAKIN' WEEKEND! Friday night let's geddit on!

DOUBLE outfit shot! Guess where we're all dressed up to go?

Future Sound Asia presents David Guetta LIVE in Malaysia!

Our World #1 DJ made his 4th stop right here in Sepang International Circuit during his Asia Tour 2012 with special guest DJs Alesso & Kaz James. I had my mind completely blown away that night. 

We went with boyfieKon & two of my buddies, Larry & Sabrina. Major thanks for the carpool too! 

We truly enjoyed ourselves raving away like no one's watching!

*Full blogpost coming soon*

Dinner date with boyfieKon at a Manhattan-townhouse inspired restaurant : Ben's KLCC

Food was terrific! We had Mum's Cottage Pie, Wild Mushroom Quiche & the Roasted Tomato Soup.

I would fully-recommend the ones we had! Food & ambience deserved a 5/5 rating from me 

However, the service was deplorable (Foursquare was right!) The waiter & waitresses (except one) were hardly attentive towards their customers and even forgot to serve us our Chargrilled Rack of Lamb which we ordered along with our other meals – to which he gave 101 excuses as to why it wasn't jot down. 

Moving on…

Had my first ever swimming lesson thanks to Swimin12! Check 'em out 

I am now actually able to swim properly/correctly instead of paddling like a drowning puppy

Corporate outfit again. This time, to attend a rather corporate/business/formal event in KL city!

Congratulations PETRONAS on the successful launch of your

first solar photovoltaic installation system! *Full blogpost coming soon*

Having many massive solar panels – largest in the region, mind you! – on the rooftop of our iconic mall KLCC Petronas Twin-Towers allows electricity to be utilized from the sun's natural solar energy to power up the building 

So proud of my country & its efforts of going green with effective sustainable development!

On a random note…

GOSSIP GIRL SEASON 6 IS *FINALLY* OUT THIS WEEK.

Had been waiting for months on end for the season finale to premier.

Outfit of the day! Donned a smart-casual yet edgy wear tonight for…

The official launch of Samsung's latest tablet-smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Note II

I was impressed by the really cool features & user-friendliness! *Full blogpost coming soon!*

This week, as usual, spells being domesticated & self-sufficient again. 

Yup, cooking healthy, low-calorie food strikes again!

Fluffy Omelette with Old El Paso salsa, tomato ketchup & lotsa ground black pepper!

Black Peppered scrambled eggs with Tuna Chunks, Baby Romaine Lettuce & Oregano!

Oh and yes, I discovered a new-found love for beans in my cooking escapades. 

Yup, lentils are the way to go! Full of protein & fibre 

Haricot Beans baked in tomato paste & rock salt, Romaine Lettuce, 

Omega Eggs, Oatmeal flakes with lots of Thyme & Oregano!

Stir-fry garlic Iceberg Lettuce & Moroccan Chickpeas 

on buttered Wholegrain Toast + Roast Carrots glazed in Raw Maple Syrup

Middle-Eastern style Chickpea Stew with Spinach, 

Carrots, Basil & a Sunny Side Up Omega egg!

Combo Salad of Iceberg Lettuce, hard-boiled Omega Eggs, Steamed Chickpeas, 

Onions, Mashed Tuna & Ranch with Tomato ketchup & Parsley!

Sounds good? I had so much fun in my kitchen cooking all those delightful, healthy bites 

Speaking of which, I just returned from doing some grocery-shopping at Jaya Grocer

Some of the foodstuff that will keep me going throughout next week!

My apologies for the delay in certain overdue blogposts, will have them up throughout this week & the next!

I have an exam tomorrow & during the little time I was ever at home, been trying my best to slot in the most study-time I could. Can't believe I had to forgo my gym trainings all week too. Bummer!

Pretty short edition tonight, I've really gotta go! Imma burn the midnight oil tonight to make sure I'm well-prepared for tomorrow's exam.

Have a superb seven days ahead, dear readers!

The world's #1 international premium beer now has a new facelift!

To commemorate their new iconic bottle design, Heineken decided to throw an epic new bottle launch party and fly world-reknown Dutch DJ/Producer Ferry Corsten down to Malaysia to shoot their party to the skies even further.

Being an avid fan of Ferry Corsten & a frequent raver, Heineken's invitation to this party

just made my mid-week more awesome then ever!

After registering my attendance & getting the stamp on my wrist, it was time to go inside the party scene

I was all set to rave to the progressive trance beats and bombs of Ferry Corsten with my mates.

What could be better than raving with ice-cold Heineken to give you that boost of rejuvenation you need? 

((STYLE OF THE DAY))

The moment I stepped inside, I caught sight of the gorgeous new Heineken bottles in a glass enclosure.

Such a beautiful, sparkly display! 

Heineken's new iconic bottle design

I wrote all about it here if you wanna know more! 🙂

My party-mates for the night! 

By the time we stepped inside, the party was already in full-swing.

The music was resonating everywhere, the lights were bouncing back and forth & the crowd was pumping!

Partying to the opening acts of the night

None other than local DJ duo DJ Blink & DJ Xu of LapSap fame!

Sipping on my ice-cold beer while LapSap turns up the volume!

It was a delightful treat for all the guests tonight as the Heineken came in torrents of a never-ending flow!

Everybody loves Heineken! 

Some party piccies of my buddies and I at the Heineken Progressive Tour.

Let the happy faces of the partygoers roll 

Soon after, our MC of the night –  MTV VJ Utt, welcomed us all again and gave a toast to Heineken!

HIP HIP.. HOORAY! To a successful bottle launch party! 

Cheers! Let's clink our bottles & savour the goodness

We were then shown a short introductory video clip on Heineken's New Bottle.

I was enticed. It was really well done!

It was a lovely insight on the new Heineken iconic bottle design.

After the video showcase, it was time for the main act of the night 

Sparks from the fireworks broke through the air and guess who finally made his appearance?

Ferry Corsten!! 

Specially flown down to spin for us at Heineken's party,

Ferry Corsten's 2 hour set was roaring to go!

The entire party scene transmorphed into a massive indoor rave party in a flash!

It was insane. Totally reminded me of how good Ferry was!

The last time I partied with him was at the christmas party in Zouk!

Podium dancers then appeared with their rather flashy, neon outfits

and entertained us with their eclectic moves

Here's a close-up on the dancers! Epic costume, ey? 

We be getting our kicks on to the lights of Electronic Dance Music! 

While we were raving close to the stage, the security guards & bouncers kept ushering us further away from the stage and shoo-ing us to retreat.

We thought they were just being anal and a bunch of party-poopers but we were so wrong!

Giant spurts of fire burst out from both sides of the stage periodically

No wonder we were being shoo-ed away!

They just didn't want us to get charred by the immense flames!

Safety first! Why, thank you so much for making sure us guests weren't prone to danger 

Okay, back to the party!

Ferry was as good as ever that night. 

He played his well-known tracks such as Punk, Radio Crash, Sweet Sorrow, We Belong, Into the Dark, Brute as well as remixes of other DJ/Producers tracks such as Tiesto, Marcus Schulz, Swedish House Mafia, Avicii and many more!

We went absolutely mad headbanging and shuffling to his tracks 

Stopping for a photo!

Taking a short break!

Draining our bottles of Heineken was a perfect way to cool down before raving again 

Indeed. 

Ferry continued escalating the party momentum to infinity and beyond! 

Towards the end, confetti burst out everywhere

It was truly an event full of jubilation, celebration and merriment

Congratulations on your spanking new iconic bottle again, Heineken!

Thank you, I had a fantastic time being a part of your celebration tonight 

Hola! A snippet of what I've been up to this week thus far.

Been busy with workies and of course, rave parties!

If you missed it, check out the wicked parties that has been happening throughout this week

GLOBAL presents 'The Twelve' @ Zouk Club KL

One of my rave-kakis, Pinpin!

The Twelves are an electro-pop duo that hit our Malaysian shores all the way from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🙂

Dubbed the Daft Punk of Brazil, The Twelves comprise Luciano Oliveira and João Miguel

Ready to watch them play?

Luciano Oliveira of The Twelves takes the turntables!

Work it, work it! 

Bumped into so many pals I couldn't keep hold of everyone for a group photo!

So here we are again, just by the DJ decks

Next event is one of the famed NSFW raves we have in our local party scene

Don't Believe the Hype featuring DJ Rob 'Beens' & YKEL @ The Gardens Rooftop

They're hot, they play kick-ass electro beats and they sure know how to demolish the dance floor!

I'd just like to put it out there. Rob and Ykel are such warm & friendly lads to hang out with!

Rob and I was chatting in the afternoon and asked me to join them for drinks before their set – to which I did.

The boys DJ Rob 'Beens' and DJ YKEL

Hung out with the boys for a bit and we talked about heaps of stuff despite the loud music that was booming through the speakers! 🙂 YKEL taught me some simple German words haha!

As I *might* be in Europe for a week, Rob told me to check out their fave clubs in Germany 🙂

DJ Blink and Xu of LapSap, my local fave homeboy DJs were the opening act for the night

Was given heaps of Jagermeister shots too, thanks Rob!

Shotshotshots everybuddy!

At 1am, it was DJ Rob 'Beens' turn to tear up the DJ decks. His set was simply wicked!

His electro tracks boomed through the speakers and those infectious beats really got me going

Can youuuu feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel the paaartay escalate? 😀

An hour later, at 2am, DJ YKEL took to the decks and played alongside DJ Beens.

It turned up the party dial even harder. Double the DJs, double the fun!

Awesome shizz you guys had going! 

They made my night truly spectacular.

Also, what made my day was that when I was shuffling and raving on the dance floor, a reader recognized me and was gracious enough to offer to buy me a drink! That was so nice of him 🙂 

With reader Keem 🙂 Thanks again for the drink, my fave Baileys on the rocks

Dearest DJ Rob 'Beens' and YKEL, t'was a pleasure to get to know the both of you.

All the best for your gig this Friday & Saturday in Germany and haben einen sicheren flug! 

So XPAX had their series of awesome partehs this time round again. It’s called the XPLAY Party and celebrated in various venues/clubs across Malaysia, namely Penang, KL, Johor, Malacca, Sabah and Sarawak. The line up included notable DJs with their expertise in various genres, dance crews, beatboxers and MCs.

Thanks to Celcom XPAX, I was invited to hit the party too and to bring my fabulous friends along with me 😀

Partyin’ in VIP style yo!

Only half of the gang came early tonight

I attended two of the XPLAY parties altogether because one was simply not enough!

So here’s the first one I went to, held MOIS Penang aka my 2nd home

MOIS’ entrance in its splendour of bright lights and decor

Bouncers busy at keeping the crowd intact

My homies and I were one of the early birds that night! But as early as we were, the interior was done with the set up. All ready to tear up the parteh!

Part of the backdrop on the stage and the DJ console

Before the event officiated, DJ Coollen had begun to hype up the crowd with his signature remixes of hip hop and R&B.

With the SINGAPOREANS 😛

With one of the besties Minny

Me and my gurls YingZi and Minny enjoyed ourselves chilling at the sofa while the boys watched some footie. If I ain’t wrong, I guess it was Brazil playing that night!

Mwah

With my man Josh

zomg he came despite having to wake up at 6AM for work the next day! woots!

Finally, the MC of the event kickstarted the party and told us all that there will be a DJ battle between Xu and Blink of the famed DJ duo LapSap. After that will be a HipHop dance routine followed by a Beatbox performance by one of the top 10 Beatboxers in the world, Shawn Lee.

So let’s get the partay started!

Bringing down the house with an iconic blend of House music

Shawn driving the crowd in awe after every performance

The dance crew was up next! They were godlike!

I think I even saw them a while back on telly. ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ perhaps?

Loved their popping locking dropping crumping & breakdancing!

The party lasted till wee hours of the morning. There was just so much energy and the crowd just kept raving on! No pics of the party scene because we were too busy enjoying ourselves hehe

But here are some pics of the after-party! I didn’t realize that the performers of the night were sitting at the table directly beside mine 🙂

With Blink & Xu from LapSap!

Hello Shawn, we meet again 🙂

and I can tell you that the Penang crowd was certainly impressed!

My gurls and I went into a frenzy partying & dancing with these HipHop dancers!

They were just as good offstage as they were onstage 🙂 Very spontaneous

Thank you for having me Kenneth. The party was a blast!

See you in KL for the next XPLAY

Okay! The next XPLAY which I attended was held in GOSH KL along the Asian Heritage Row aka clubbing square. Thanks to Nuffnang which invited me along with them.

What I really liked about this party is that they had polaroid shots going on at the photowall!

Red zipper headband by Soak Republic
