ZoukOut 2011 featuring DJ Chuckie, Avicii + Armin Van Buuren! Siloso Beach @ Sentosa Island, Singapore

January 23, 2012 by thejessicat

 

I know this is probably a month late but I kept having more and more things to blog about that Zouk Out completely slipped my mind! Pardon me… teehee!

 

So yeah, as expected, ZoukOut 2011 was an absolute wicked one.

Probably just as good as last year celebration of 10 years of ZoukOut, aka Zouk10ut if not better!

 

My gurls and I 

 

So before we entered the main Siloso Beach of where ZoukOut '11 was to be held, the whole lot of us decided to dive straight into our own party. Pre-drinks at the adjacent beach.

Don't know what beach it is but it sure worked for us 😀

 

Chilling at the bench during pre-drinks

 

I miss my Aussieguest Carly 🙁

Come back to Malaysia soon!

 

Venessa and I

ZoukOut once more hey? 😉

 

Take two! 😀

 

We finished the bottle in a jiffy

 

We made friends with ol' McDonald from Detroit, USA!

 

Chugged my last glass in the water

 

Alright, that's a wrap!

Now that we're all pumped up, hyper and tipsy, it's time to adjourn for ZoukOut 

 

Where the party began 4 hours ago!

 

Just three enthusiastic partylovers amongst hordes of  many others!

 

Correction: FOUR!

 

Correction: FIVE!

 

Correction: SEVEN!

And the number just kept growing

 

Once we entered, we started running helter skelter, exploring what this year's Zouk Out has to offer

Mostly the same good food, good things on sale and heaps of freebies up for grabs!

 

Went to the Havaianas outlet

 

Played with the giant inflatable flip-flop! 

 

Bumped into an old friend, Adelyn 🙂

 

And a few others too – Danny and Charlene

See, we Penangites came all the way from the north for this yo ;)

 

After all the exploring and fun, we escaped to grab a bite of the nearest yummy food possible

 

Headed off to Mcdonalds!


Where I impulsively bought a slurpee cup with a red bikini on it :O

 

DOESN'T MATTER, HAD FOOD!

With our satiated tummies, we marched back to where the party's at, ZoukOut '11 awaits us 

I've made a video compilation of my ZoukOut 2011 experience, watch out for it at the end of this post!

 

Got to the main stage pretty early to secure our spots

DJ Simon Dunmore was playing at that time

 

Raving with my buddies! Ze clan and I

 

Party vibe is building slowly! 😀

 

Squeeeeee! Carly piggybacked me 😀

 

Bumped into another Penangite, my old friend Sabrina 🙂

 

At last year's ZoukOut, I came to watch my 3 fave stars in 2010's line-up: Tiesto, David Guetta and Afrojack

This year, I came fully anticipating DJ Chuckie, Avicii and Armin Van Buuren

 

and……. DJ CHUCKIE IS UP! 😀

 

WHO IS READY TO JUMP? 😀

 

There were fireworks blasting across the sky as we partied!

DJ Chuckie kickstarted his set with a remix of Daft Punk's 'Around the World' and was playing various EDM tracks of his own including remixing those by David Guetta, Rihanna, Swedish House Mafia, Benny Benassi and more.

 

There were beer showers everywhere too!

 

His 2 hour set was pretty radical, I must say. I enjoyed watching DJ Chuckie's facial expressions too; they were so animated and at some parts comical! 😀 He also really knew how to work the crowd.

And then… it rained not confetti, not streamers… BUT GLITTER (Blimey, I actually thought it was sand!)

 

NEXT UP, GUESS WHO'S CRUNKING UP THE LEVELS AT 3AM?

 

Nobody else comes close to these nasty levels… IT'S AVICII! 😀

 

Got up to Level Two so fast that I had to blink twice before confirming that it was indeed 2 white girls

holding up the Malaysian flag while screaming AAAAAAAAAVIIIIIIIICIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!! 

 

So proud of my country's flag but then again, wait.. what? Malaysian flag? White girls? Avicii?

Am I missing something here? 

 

Avicii's 2 hour set was stellar, just as I had imagined it to be

 

DJ SPIN THAT SH!T! 

 

He shot the party to the skies the moment he appeared on the decks with 'Fade into Darkness' as his opening song before proceeding to his other popular tracks like 'Sunshine', 'Swede Dreams', 'Hello Miami', 'Freedom' and more.

 

 

The young Swede and rising starlet Avicii (aka Tim Berg) also remixed popular favorites like David Guetta's 'Titatium', Diddy's 'Coming Home', Nadia Ali & Alex Kenji's 'Pressure', Tiesto's 'Escape Me', Coldplay's 'Waterfall' and others. 

 

While raving, the gigantic, transparent beach ball landed on our heads!

 

Ohhhhh~ Sometimes, I gotta good feeling

YEEEEEAH~

 

The feeling was surreal when Avicii played his debut 'Levels' right there and then.

To see 'Levels' playing LIVE RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES BY AVICII HIMSELF was unlike any other.

 

Everyone else in the crowd could relate; they were just as euphoric as I was!

 

Major love fo my gurls for the awesome company!

 

Sex dolls were flying everywhere.

Heck well, naked blow-up dolls, more of. They sure looked like sex dolls to me LOLOL

 

At 5am sharp, something bigger was coming our way.

Already almost at the crack of dawn, there was no sign of stopping us ravers from welcoming the World #1 trance legend for several years in a row, ARMIN VAN BUUREN! 😀 😀 😀

 

It started off with a big bang

 

He greeted his fans and loyal revellers with arms wide open!

 

Nothing could bring me down.

T'was amazing to finally rave to Armin Van Buuren LIVE and seeing him in the flesh after following his 'A State of Trance' (ASOT) episodes and yearmixes. *swoons*

OHMY. YES IT IS ARMIN. 3 METRES IN FRONTA ME

 

Ohmylord. Armin was so charming that night.. not to mention unbelievably talented too

 

When he spun Cosmic Gate feat. Emma Hewit's 'Be Your Sound', the crowd shut their eyes, jumped and traversed into an uplifting state of trance. :D:D

It was absolutely food for the soul 

 

Bursts of confetti (and glitter!) were everywhere

More fireworks came in abundance too!

 

I recognized the songs from his yearmixes.. nothing beats hearing it LIVE.

 

The beach ball kept bouncing up and down amongst the crowd!

 

Rave it up, rave it good till the morning light!

 

He played till the sun came up 

 

Now, here's my video montage of ZoukOut 2011 through my eyes 🙂

Experience it visually, embrace it and make sure I see you at this year's rave beach party of the year 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmmI8dTIwxU&feature=youtu.be

ENJOY!

 

Only a true rave begins outdoors with thousands of people, rising its temperature with triple the amount of people and ends waaaaayy past the sunrise 😀 😀

Every year, ZoukOut is a true pinacle of a rave party. ZoukOut 2012, we shall meet again

Tales of my Aussieguest and I : all things Malaysian… LAH!

December 30, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Pretty damn sure you would've known how occupied I was the past week with my lovely guest from Australia.

If you follow me on Twitter or subscribed to my Facebook updates, I've posted up heaps throughout her stay!

 

I hosted my Aussie buddy on her trip to Malaysia and decided that I only yearn to achieve one goal.

To be the best host ever of all things Malaysian. I wanted to share our culture, people, food, nightlife, shopping, hanging out, nature with her and condense everything Malaysian lifestyle was all about

– into a single, one week!

 

Picked her up as she arrived! 😀 😀

 

I documented our (mis)adventures all documented on Twitter with the hashtag #aussieguest :

 

Brought her for a late lunch-tea time sesh at Secret Recipe to try our famous signature cheesecakes.

We shared a Creme Brulee Cheesecake & a Dark White Chocolate Cheesecake. Absolutely loved it!

 

Brought her back to my humble abode 13 stories above the ground in the cosy & busy suburb of Damansara

Rested for a bit and it's out the door for a shisha session!

 

Shisha has been deeply intergrated into the Malaysian lifestyle now – it's everywhere!

 

Another shisha sesh elsewhere!

 

Took her for the famous Satay Kajang! It's grilled/barbequed meat on skewers with yummy peanut sauce!

There were all kinds; we ordered all kinds! Chicken, beef, mutton, fish and duck

 

Rabbit wasn't available today – yes, I said rabbit.

No need to double take

 

 

Brought my lovely Aussie guest to experience another Malaysian way of life – PASAR MALAM!!!

Pasar Malam (night markets) come in abundance here. It boasts heaps of food, trinkets, clothes, gadgets, accessories, shoes – you name it, they've got it!

 

Best part is, everything is so cheap! 

 

Brought her to try a Chinese-Malaysian favorite, known as Lok Lok 

… she never looked back ever since then. Love at first sight!!

 

Told ya it's yummy! 🙂 🙂

Can't really explain what it is, something like cut-up food (anything!) on a skewer and then you boil it yourself then dip it in a variety of sauces. Pretty healthy too, if you ask me 😀

 

Homehomehome in my cosy room 😀 Wheeee

 

Carly somehow loved tormenting me with cotton candy (of which she calls fairy floss)

 

 

We headed to Singapore for a roadtrip with my buddies

Why? Because we were going to attend the biggest beach rave-party of the year – ZOUK OUT 2011

(more of that soon!)

 

Had some nommies at Esplanade, Singapore

 

Brought her to sight-see around Esplanade and its pretty sights, a lightshow and well-lit buildings across the water! When I last went to Singapore before my stint in Australia, Marina Bay Sands hotel wasn't exactly quite open yet.

So this is technically my first time here too!

 

Marina Bay Sands hotel

 

From a friendly local host, I suddenly warped into an over-enthusiastic tourist

 

Yes thank you I know I'm being all touristy

 

Moar photos with my chicas! 

 

The 5 of us headed to a Chinese Dim Sum outlet for late dinner/supper

Geez I look lika typical Asian here; with chopsticks and whatnot

 

Breaktime & breathers at Orchard Road

 

Public transport-ing it back home!

I'm so not used to public transport as I drive all the time!


More public transport-ing the very next morning!

Yeah, don't we look like over-zealous tourists waiting to excavate the city? 😀 😀

 

Writing our lovenotes & well-wishes for 2012

Some little cute tradition where the balloons will be placed into the sea & let it float away

 

Brought this foreigner to something all foreigners hate.

Is it REALLY just a stereotype?

Why on earth do yall hate durians when it's sucha soft, creamy and flavourful fruit? 

 

 

Ya'll say it's the smell. But really… WHAT SMELL? The only way to get rid of the "smell", is to eat it :D

 

Ohhhh so delicious and creamy! It's like eating creme brulee or ice-cream

 

 

Apart from bringing her to Singapore, I also brought her along to a Christmas party that my clan and I have been planning for a few weeks! It's a houseparty + Christmas potluck + BYO drinks and MORE 😉 😉

Let the good times roll!

 

Christmas photo credits to housie Edwin!

 

We did some more touristy stuff like taking her to Petaling Street to eat local hawker food!

Some of which, I hardly eat myself. But here they are…

 

KL Hokkien Mee and Beef Tripe Noodles

Yes. Beef tripe. The 1st half of the cow's stomach

 

Teehee! Don't kill me, babe!

All I wanted was to have you remember at least ONE exotic food/animal organ you ate whilst in Asia 😛

 

More outings!

 

Ready to rumble?

 

Heading off to the city again – this time, to Pavillion Kuala Lumpur along Starhill

 

Thanks housie Edwin for all the photos taken tonight at Starhill! 🙂

 

Welcome to Bukit Bintang (Starhill)

The city never sleeps

 

One of our largest & most prestigious malls – Pavillion KL

 

Christmas time!

 

Coincidentally, there was this United Buddy Bears campaign going on along the streets of Pavillion.

Every single country and nation acknowledged by the United Nations will have their own version of a bear – fully designed by a national of whatever country they represent – portraying their culture or their identity.

 

There were so many; couldn't take all! Here are a few which I took an instant liking towards

 

The two main Western capitalists & movers of the world, United Kingdom and the United States of America

 

I'm in love with all things Egyptian

My wrist tattoo of the Eye of Horus testifies that!

 

Here's the Greece bear which bears Goddess Athena's name!

My other tattoo along my ribcage, are ancient Greek quotes in scriptures

 

Israel bear!

 

But of course, the country which I was born and bred in – MALAYSIA!!!!! 

 

Carly found her Australian bear too!

See the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge motif in yellow?

 

 

Shisha and mamak sesh at NZ Cafe right beneath the Petronas Twin Towers

 

Malaysian food omnomnom

 

Wondering what this is?

One of my mamak faves – Roti Tisu 

 

 

 

Malaysia loves you Carly! 🙂 

You assimilate so well with us… and your Malaysian slang is pretty good hahaha!

 

So technically that sorta sums up what we were up to within the week – albeit a very summarized version!

If given more time, I could've shown her so much more 😀

 

 

It's time to play host again. My 2 new Aussieguests

Allyce & Lauren has just arrived Malaysia yesterday

Three cheers for Round 2!

 

Thanks for coming to Malaysia, Carly. T'was a pleasure hosting & showing you the very best of Malaysian lifestyle!

It's my 1st time playing host; here's to hoping I did a good job teehee! 

 

Oh and….. your best friend says goodbye 😛
