Jason Ong's BIG TWO ONE @ The Hills #MYNJAYZDAY

2011-04-24T07:17:00.009+08:00

Famous blogstar and celebrity photographer Jason Ong a.k.a Mynjayz has hit the big TWO ONE! Thank you Jason for inviting me to your 21st birthday bash and it was a blast! You gotta hand it in to Jason for pulling off such an awesome birthday bash.

It was held at The Hills, Damansara Heights. Lovely place for dinner, gatherings and birthday celebrations. The moment I got there, Jason was already tipsy! It was great to see EVERYONE there at the party. Lots of familiar faces and catching up with old friends, and making the birthday boy drunk!

Me, Kelvin, Victoria and Samuel

And boy, he was DRUNK! Jason had two flaming lambo's and a Funnel Bong which God knows what was inside!

The highlight of the night was when Jason nearly fell of the chair and fell on his own birthday cake, and Sam Insanity arriving fashionably late in a tutu!

An awesome night and Jason's finally a big boy now! :)

Johnny Walker Black Circuit Lounge @ Le Marquee, Palace of Golden Horses

2011-04-18T22:08:00.004+08:00

It was my first time at a Johnny Walker event and all week before the event, I saw weets and comments on Facebook about how awesome that event was last year and how awesome will this one be. And yes indeed, hands down, the biggest kick start event for the year!

Special thanks to Helen Chong and Johnny Walker for this eventful night!

It was held at Le Marquee, Palace of Golden Horses this year, and as I arrived at the event, it was unbelievably crowded. I queued for about half an hour, but during the half an hour was not a bore as I bumped into a lot of my friends at the same queue and got excited watching fantastic looking sports car passing by almost everyminute. DJ Monkey was my "date" for the night.

It was great that we had our own table once we got in, as DJ Faith Angela was DJ Monkey's ex highschool mate and DJ Darling Sabrina from Ipoh was also on the same table. So we got a better table, directly in front of the DJ console.

Kudos to the DJs for such a wonderful night with blends of R&B, Hip Hop, Electro and House music!

Stella, DJ Darling Sabrina & Me

By the end of the night, I seriously couldn't recall how many bottles we all had that night but it was awesome! And almost everyone was wasted, which was a good thing that I didn't drive that night because I knew I would end up on the floor.

And it was funny to see babe, Pauline being trashed that night! First time the party queen had too much to drink and trashed to the floor.

But we all had fun that night. Great event to kick start this year and next up, shall be looking forward to Hennessy Atistry.

Over the weekend @ SPIN Club

2011-04-09T01:52:00.004+08:00

Work is getting more hectic during weekdays as my accounting deadline is drawing near and auditor is yet to make another visit to my firm soon! Hence, I could only look forward to the weekends for night of catching up with my friends, drinking session and clubbing, without having to worry about work for a while.

So it was SPIN Club again last Friday to support Kuroshiro on the decks! I like the place because it is not so packed compare to other clubs and we have one of our best electro DJ, DJ Brandon and DJ Point. And kudos to my lovely friends for such a wonderful night at SPIN last week. <3

Johnny Walker Black Circuit Lounge 2011

2011-04-05T06:51:00.014+08:00

The moment all of us have been waiting for is finally hitting KL on the 9th of April, 2011. A chance of a lifetime to money can't buy tickets to experience luxury, glamour and sophistication, all in one night, with Johnny Walker Black Circuit Lounge!

Step inside the glamorous world of speed and music as fans of F1 and party-goers get a chance to party VVIP style at this ultimate V-VIP Race Party, as Johnny Walker is involved in Formula One which is a stylish and sophisticated sport. What's even better, International reknown DJs, DJ Bento, DJ Sophia Lin, DVDJ I-Tek and Malaysia's very own local DJ, DJ Faith Angela, will be set to take the stage on storm.

And for the first time, Tokyo's DJ Bento will be heading down to KL for Johnny Walker Black Circuit Lounge! Excited already? Resident DJ for Osaka's #1 all genre party, DJ Bento will be keeping you to moving with his blend of house, electro, R&B and hip hop!

DJ Bento

DJ Sophia Lin

Johnny Walker, the World's number one Scotch whisky and has partnered with VMM because they both share the value of innovation, winng and leadership. Johnny Walker Black Circuit will be electrfying you with their ultimate race party on APRIL 9th 2011, and this time around, Johnny Walker is allowing us bloggers to experience the ultimate speed party, together with celebs, stars and of course, Johnny Walker whisky!

Now the question is " What have you done to deserve the rewards of luxury and a successful lifestyle?"

Lewis Hamilton once quoted, "I was born to race and to win". Growing up was never easy for me. I was always the underdog, with inferior personality, and I always have thoughts that everyone else is better than me. I wasn't given much chance to voice out my opinion when I was in high school, I hid my singing talent, I skipped classes because I thought I wasnt as bright as everyone else. and I wanted to get through high school quickly, until I met a good friend who saw something good in me.

This girl in high school, who eventually became my best friend, saw something in me and did not give up pushing me to do things better, until I came to my own sense and realised that I do not want to grow up as underdog, but I want to be successful.

Having believe in myself, I then became one of the top scorer in high school, and I started developing strength and believing in myself that I could do better and live the luxury life that I've always wanted.

Johnny Walker has a cool and inspirational campaign with the Black Circuit Lounge that allows you to experience the lifestyle of Formula One.

For a chance of luxury, head on over to http://www.blackcircuit.com.my/facebook for more details on the event.

Above all else, do keep in mind to -NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE

Kelvin's Birthday at IL Tempio, Tamarind Hill

2010-12-08T07:16:00.003+08:00

Kelvin's Birthday @ IL Tempio, Tamarind Hill

Situated in the heart of KL lies a very unique temple, with comfortable blue walls and running waters, decorated with beautiful statues and fountains, is however not for the praying monks, but it is indeed a fine serving of contemporary Italian cuisine that adds up for a wonderful dinner for those who comes to dine in.

IL Tempio, Ampang, a few minutes away from the modernized city was where my retarded siamese twin, Kelvin Lee celebrated his 20th birthday! Instead of throwing a huge birthday bash, spending unneccessary money on bottles and getting himself drunk, Kelvin spent his birthday among close friends only. Thank you Kelvin for bringing us to such a wonderful place for dinner on your birthday! You know I heart you! :)

The theme for his birthday was classy. So most of us who attended came in dresses and formal clothes, as the place was a fine dining restaurant with nicely decorated statues, fountains and wells, with romantic lightings and candles. Great for birthdays and romantic dinners.

My vampire BFFs : Lizzie & Kelvin

Kelvin, Lizzie, Helly & Remi

Another two best girlfriends of mine! Samantha & Eleanor

The menu in the restaurant were mouthwatering, and as a huge fan of Italian cuisine myself, I couldnt decide what to eat and hence, decided that the birthday boy should choose the main course and dishes for all of us. We dined in a veranda, where we can see cascading waterfalls and hear the sound of nature from where we were sitting.

Every single dish tastes good, and every dish was just nice for our tastebud. I wouldnt call it "extraordinary" but definitely above average. Top notch food for people who are serious with everything that they put in their mouth, blended with one of their finest champagne, and great friends as company over dinner.

A toast to the birthday boy, Kelvin!

Daniel and Som's Wedding Dinner

2010-12-05T06:34:00.003+08:00

Daniel & Som's Wedding Dinner

Just last Saturday, I attended my youngest uncle wedding dinner at Semenyih. I would like to congratulate my youngest uncle, Daniel who is married to Som, from Thailand. It was amazing how these two met, quickly fell in love and made the decision to get married.

The wedding dinner was held at a nice chinese restaurant in Semenyih with fellow family members, relatives, close friends and also Som's family and relatives who came down to Malaysia all the way from Thailand just to attend their wedding dinner. Another multi-cultural marriage in my family!

The wedding dinner was held in a Chinese style, where the famous 7 chinese coursemeal were served during dinner, together with signature wine and also beer.

Cousin Carmen & I

And just like typical chinese wedding dinner, there's the cake cutting ceremony and a lot and lots of "yummmmm sengggggg!", which means "cheers and drink up" in Chinese language.

Uncles and Aunties cheering and getting drunk! And boy, can they really drink!

Wish this happy couple all the best in their marriage and prosperity and wealth in their life and hopefully a newborn to the family soon! <3

Hello December!

2010-12-02T01:00:00.003+08:00

Its the last month of the year 2010!

In yourbelovedbabe context it means, time to party hard, year end vacations with the loved ones and preparation for the year 2011.

Started off my December by watching one of my favorite movies, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. Joy :)

Since everyone will be going to Zoukout this year, Im just going to spend a nice, an-all-girls trip with my girls, Samantha and Eleanor at Langkawi.

Looking forward to it!
Cheap booze, girls talk, the beautiful beach and sexy hunks!

I have been working on my own songs as well. My guitar have been treating me well these days as everything I belted fitted right into the melody and the chords that I strummed. I shall post a short video up very soon.

And I am also looking forward to spend time with my dad since he will be home for Christmas and New Year this time around. I cant wait to see him and already looking forward for all the plans this December!

What's your plan? Hope you have a great start to the last month of the year before we say sayonara to 2010! Cheers~

Congratulations and Farewell JiaWei & Lizzie

2010-11-30T18:16:00.002+08:00

Once again, another best friend of mine just left me behind. Three of my good friends whom I've met this year, left this year itself. Some went to further their studies overseas, but this particular best friend of mine, is leaving Malaysia to help her boyfriend out at his parents' company and is getting married!

I would love to congratulate this two lovely couple Jia Wei & Lizzie on their engagement and marriage and would love to bid them farewell too as they will be leaving to China for 2 years!

I am gonna seriously miss these two sohai couple. Looking at them sometimes makes me wonder when am I going to give up on my single life and start finding a real partner, in which Lizzie always advise me to. Remembering how I first met Lizzie was funny because we clicked instantly with our craziness, and start meeting up everyday ever since for lunch, dinner, shopping, and almost everything.

Lizzie also encourages me a lot to pursue singing and also helped me out in seizing opportunities when it comes to singing, as she is a singer herself and has participated in singing contest such as Astro Talent Quest. She and her band members will be coming up with their own album very soon.

It was great having a good friend like her in my life. Im gonna miss you, Lizzie and Jia Wei, and yes, Kelvin and I will be coming over to China for your wedding dinner. We will definitely not miss it. I shall start saving money from now onwards!

Wishing these two couple all the best again and God bless~

Xplay Shout Awards Pre Party

2010-11-28T22:47:00.002+08:00

Im still alive people! Have not been blogging for weeks due to internet connection and because I am currently camera-less since I lost my camera at the previous Hennessy Artistry. I'll still try to update my blog as frequent as I used to. Just a quick update on this one.

Last week was the Xplay SHOUT Awards at Stadium Bukit Jalil which I missed due to a lot of confusion on the who's having the passes, but I managed to attend the Xplay Shout Awards Pre Party at The Library E@Curve.

Free flow of beers all the way, a section just for the bloggers near the stage, live performances from participants of Battle of the Bands and lots of familiar faces! Thanks to Jason Ong and Advertlets for the invitation.

Simone. Victoria.

Reiko. Samantha Kong.

The boys. Sorry I only recognized Foo and Xiang.

Group pic!

Bloggers section

Reiko camwhoring with my lense-less specs! HAWT.

I left the night pretty early as I promised a DJ friend to support him at Bamboo9 that night. Atleast I still managed to watch one of my friend, Wei Chen performed, who also participated in Xplay Battle of the Bands. He's the bassist for Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob.

Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob. Looong band name I know and I still wonder how they came up with the band name. Long, but unique, yet memorable. Although they did not win the battle, but they have my support and let's hope that they would go far!

UNIQLO : Everyone's in the hype!

2010-11-08T22:58:00.004+08:00

Uniqlo, Japan number one fashion brand and leader in high quality casual wear, has finally hit its first retail store in Malaysia on 4th of November! Occupying a total retail space of 2,140 sqm, 3 level retail store in Fahrenheit 88, KL, namely also the largest retail store in Southeast Asia, fans of Uniqlo can look forward to more than 500 items of stylish, casual wear in that store with incredibly low prices during the first week of its opening.

Uniqlo's first day of launching was hyper madness as approximately 4000 people were queueing up to get into the store, including some friends of mine. Even DJ Monkey and Funkzu were at the launching and were also caught up in the Uniqlo frenzy! After dropping by their store at Fahrenheit yesterday, with so many people queuing up to enter Uniqlo even on the 3rd day, and after checking out their catalogue and collection online, I think I can understand why people love Uniqlo so much.

So what is so great about Uniqlo? If you're thinking edgy with cut-outs and colourful heavy prints, you will be disappointed. Uniqlo is all about high quality basic, everyday casual wear, which definitely suits Malaysians. Expect to see a lot of t-shirts and casual wear from Uniqlo!

Cashmere sweaters, basic t-shirts with wonderful selective prints, stylish skinny jeans and leggings, hoodies and jackets are Uniqlo's top selective items by consumers. Ranging from as low as RM19.90 per t-shirt to RM49.90 for a pair of jeans, Uniqlo is definitely worth the check out. Atleast wait until the crowd subside first.

Here's some of their collection!

So, have you checked out their store in Kuala Lumpur yet? Have you bought anything from Uniqlo that you like? Or is it just a hype?

You can post and share your thoughts at the comment box!

Fashion Week + ULTRA

2010-11-07T23:50:00.006+08:00

Fashion has made its mark on New York, Paris, Milan and London, and Malaysia has not been too far behind the state of fashion. 2nd of November 2010 marks the date of the 8th installment of Malaysia's Fashion Week at Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur.

The city of KL were filled with fashionable and stylish crowd, girls and guys alike, celebrating fashion week. I myself, very much into fashion, but wish to have more capital to spend myself on pretty clothing and designer items, were very much excited about M-IFW 2010 and although I didn't manage to attend any of the events at fashion week, I got the chance to spread my love of fashion at Passion for Fashion event and also ULTRA Fashion Review.

2 weeks ago was the Passion for Fashion event, which was also Natacha Meunier and Josiah Mizukami's farewell party. The event was hosted by actor Josiah Mizukami and model Natacha Meunier at Bakita, Changkat. It was celebrated with some actors, scouts, models, directors, and photographers from JM Production, bloggers and of course, the hosts' close friends.

The happy couple will be making their way to Jakarta, Paris and more places to continue their career as models and actor. Josiah is the founder of JM Production, while Natacha Meunier is Malaysia's Estee Lauder 2010 Ambassador and also Estee Lauder Model Search Winner, the face of Avon and many more.

More pictures of the events will be posted up soon!

At the meantime, ULTRA, a high fashion label has just launched its exclusive showcase installation for M-IFW 2010, 'The ULTRA Peep Show' outside the entrance of Pavilion, situated near La Bodega, allowing shoppers to literally peep inside the box and discover the blueprints of ULTRA's latest spring/summer 2010 collection.

Thanks to Kelvin Lee and Hanie Hidayah, I got the chance to personally view the collections. Boasting of organic materials, soy and bamboo fibres, recycled PET and salmon skin, ULTRA is an eco label, designed by Jonathan Liang and Tengku Shahmi, with aims of potraying individuality and discover a whole new meaning of futuristic and edgy fashion line.

I absolutely heart their geometrical cut outs and their thin, satin material, unlike the heavy prints and material that Malaysians always fancy.

ULTRA will be making their way to Malaysia very soon, ranging from RM900 to RM1500 or USD300 onwards, depending on the design and material, which I think is absolutely worth investing.

Here are some of their collections so far!

For more information on ULTRA, visit their official website

Photoshoot & Food in Malacca

2010-10-20T15:30:00.005+08:00

I seriously needed a getaway. I've been bumming around back and forth in KL and Subang, doing absolutely nothing but catching up on series, such as Gossip Girl, in the afternoon and drinking sessions at night, which gained me nothing but really awesome "3 months pregnant" beer belly. I guess God saved my boredom because my housemate, Kelvin randomly suggested to go to Malacca for photoshoot for his portfolio and being the spontaneous-I've-got-nothing-to-do person, I tagged along.

On a brighter note, I got to spend time with the lovelies, get away from KL a while, have lotsa lotsa food that might just add up to my already existed beer belly and improve my photography skills! Plus, we can get to know our new friend, Matthew from the United States, a professional photographer better throughout the trip!

Went to Malacca with these bunch of lovelies!

We deciced to crash in a Guest House, recommended by my friend in Malacca for the night, at this Guest House called Ringo Foyer.

The first day in Malacca was filled with lots of food, shopping and of course, camwhoring sessions! I got to toy with Kelvin's DSLR throughout the whole trip, since my camera was lost at the last HA event at Mist.

1# Jonker 88

Was already craving for the famous Jonker 88's laksa before we got there and hence, after dropping our luggage at Ringo Foyer, headed straight for the laksa and chendol!

More shopping, food,camwhoring sessions and sightseeing around the busy town of Malacca!

First day was just filled with sightseeing, food hunting and also shopping at jonker street! The next day was a productive day indeed because we were occupied with photoshooting at different locations around Malacca.

2# Ringo Foyer

Our Guest House was our first stop for photoshoot, which was located at the roof top of the guesthouse.

While waiting for photoshoot...

3# Chicken Rice Ball

When it comes to food in Malacca, chicken rice ball is a MUST. :)

4# A Famosa Photoshoot

The historical view of Malacca. Great for photoshoot and sightseeing!

5# Malacca River

After a day filled with photoshoots at different locations, finally head back to KL about 5 plus in the evening. Driving around different locations, standing under the hot weather during photoshoot, finally its time to say sayonara to awesome fattie food and say hello to the city once again!

The Other Guys Preview Screening by Sony Pictures and Adverlets

2010-10-05T23:59:00.002+08:00

Adverlets and Sony Pictures will be bringing you the preview movie screening of "The Other Guys" on 12th of October 2010(Monday) at GSC Midvalley at 8pm.

i) How do I stand by being the other guys

If I want to stand out from the crowd and be "the other guys", I will probably come to work or college and walk on the streets looking like this everyday!

Playing cosplay at my working place or college and walking around the streets everywhere with my desired outfit of the day to show my current emotion. For example, I'd probably want to be look like a cross of Batman and Gargoyles for the day. That will definitely get people's attention, or...

I can pretend to be a Japanese and come right out of my favorite comic book or favorite manga series.

ii) Being the OTHER GUYS(outcasts) have its own advantages because :

You can be yourself. You may not have the latest Gucci/LV collection and you may not have the greatest fashion sense but atleast you are not following the crowd and what people think by being yourself.

You may have the weirdest fashion sense or simply the clumsiest person in the world, but at the end of the day, there are people who see you for you are and notices you, because you stand out from other people.

In the superficial world of friendship, outcasts manage to find better friends compared to people who follow the crowd who are only friends with elites, rich people and etc.

That's all for now. For more information on The Other Guys blogging contest, please visit, http://www.advertlets.com/weblog/2010/09/10/advertlets-presents-the-other-guys-preview-screening-this-12th-october-2010/

Zaleha's Raya Open House

2010-09-30T17:53:00.002+08:00

Raya is still not over and Im still in the mood for rendang, lemang and all the great festive Malay cuisine!

Selamat Hari Raya once again to my fellow Muslim friends!

Last Sunday, Kelvin invited me to his friend, Zaleha's open house at Janda Baik, near Genting. She was one of Kelvin's coursemate back in CIMP. Before we arrived at her house, Kelvin mentioned that Zaleha's family is the Chief Head of Janda Baik, and they owned a mansion and a compound there.

The three of us, Pauline, Kelvin and myself decided to be "Melayu" and dressed in our Baju Melayu, Baju Kurung, and Baju Kedah!

Me in Baju Kedah. Kelvin and Pauline say that I look like one of those malay girls who sits at pondok, sew on clothes and wait for her boyfriend to come home. ROFL.

Pauline in her Baju Kurung

When we arrived at Zaleha's place, I was awed to see Zaleha in her club car which she drives around her area and compound to get to her house, and was amazed at how big her house was, with mini concerts playing at the side and lots of great catered food at the field.

Zaleha's club car which she drives around the compund back and forth to her house! Madness!

Mini concert with beautiful Malay and English songs being played

Thanks again Zaleha for having us at your open house! And Selamat Hari Raya once again from yours truly, yourbelovedbabe!

Before the fashion show starts, I got the chance to take a look at their latest collection inside the store. Feminine and trendy, and a touch of elegance definitely described the collection.

Cocktails and socializing before the fashion show starts. I spotted a few familiar faces.

Kinky Blue Fairy, the blogger was there too.

The fashion started at 7.30pm, and Natacha Meunier was the top model for the brand collection.

the boys club

2010-09-23T05:34:00.004+08:00

Random thought on a lonely, single night at home.

I'm sure this happens to most females.

You were hanging out with a bunch of male majorities in your group and they start talking in male jargon in front of you.

They start crapping up jokes about the female anatomy and other female bodily jokes.

They start teasing and checking out other girls and start talking about other girls to you.

And then they start trash talking, completely ignoring the fact that you're listening.

Whether they completely forgotten you're there, or forgotten the fact that you're a GIRL,

at that moment ladies,

you have entered the BOYS CLUB.

There's nothing wrong, really.

Just a personal thought. I find male trash talking and male conversation rather interesting at times. It is interesting to see how men delight in boastful comments, intimidate each other with vulgar words and how they come up with the stupidest jokes, which manage to somehow impress some girls.

Nothing gets classier in male conversation until they start invoking the "yo mama" jokes.

"yo mama's so ugly that when she walks into the bank, they turn off the surveillance camera".

"yo mama's so fat, her shadow is heavier than me"

"yo mama's ass is so huge, it covers the sun light"

...............and in Bahasa Malaysia, the "yo mama" jokes continue, except in BM :

"ibumu jantan" and it goes on..

How do you know whether you have entered the "boys club" or the "brothers zone?"

When they start calling you "bro". Or any other names that they call their other male friends. Such as, "macha" which means buddy in Tamil.

When they start calling you out for yum cha sessions and you're the only girl. Its either they already treat you like their buddy, or one of the guys is interested in you.

When they start spilling the dush on everything that they tell their other male friends. Such as their scrawny sex details.

When they start teaching you their men signs and their secret manly handshake.

When they expect you to trash talk back.

So, ladies, does this ring a bell?

Its Up! : Discover Stem Cells with CellSafe and Amber Chia

2010-09-14T16:27:00.003+08:00

Have you heard of what cord blood stem cells are about?

Stem cells are young, generic cells in the human body that can be grown into other specific cells, and can be used for treatment for blood related disorders and treatable cancers.

Stem cells are rare and difficult to harvest from adult baby, but they are found abundantly in the baby's umbilical cord and placenta.

By storing your baby's cord blood stem cells, you are giving additional chance for your baby to potentially use them as a part of treatment therapy for various diseases including cancers, genetic diseases, blood-related disorders and more.

CellSafe International group is providing the opportunity to do so! CellSafe is a regional high-tech biotech venture which provides non-controversial cord blood stem cell cryogenic preservation.

Last week, I got the opportunity to attend "Discover Stem Cells with CellSafe and Amber Chia" press workshop. The press workshop was held at Sentidos Tapas, Starhill.

At the event, marketing manager Mr.Lau Kin Wai shared on the benefits of preserving baby's cord blood stem cells and what stem cells are all about. The first person who did the preservation of her baby's cord blood stem cells was as early as 1988. And now, Malaysia is catching up, and with CellSafe International group, more and more people would be able to do so.

Amber Chia was officially appointed as the spokesperson of CellSafe. Amber Chia, who is now pregnant for about 8 months and due on October 3rd, thinks it is important to invest on preserving her child's cord blood stem cells for the future well being of her child.

Amber Chia will be promoting awareness of cord blood stem cells preservation around Malaysia. She will be at the Moms and Kids Expo at Danga Cirt Mall, Johor Bahru from 17-19 of September, 2010.

For more information on CellSafe International, you can visit their official website.

Just a short one : Gucci

2010-09-14T01:34:00.002+08:00

The little devil of the house is gone. After having our dog, Gucci for about a month or so, Kelvin and I decided to give it away to our friend who fell in love with her the moment they saw her.

Having so little time to take care of Gucci, with Gucci stuck in a small cage at the balcony, peeing and pooping everywhere, its a wise decision to let her go to someone who can provide a better home and take care of her.

Im definitely gonna miss that spoiled little mud. Hope she will be happy with her new home! :)

Gonna miss you Gucci!

A little insight : Discover Stem Cells with CellSafe International and Amber Chia

2010-09-13T13:26:00.004+08:00

Have you heard of storing your baby's cord blood stem cells to potentially use them as a part of treatment therapy for your baby?
CellSafe International can do it for you!

On 8th of September 2010, CellSafe International organized a press workshop at Sentidos Tapas, Starhill for a better insight on stem cells, with Amber Chia as the new spokesperson for CellSafe International.

Ann's Raya Open House

The month of September's going to be a month full of events and celebrations for me, with good friends' birthday coming up, Hennessy Artistry, Arthur's Day and no doubt, one of the biggest celebration in Malaysia, Hari Raya.

I would like to wish all my Muslim friends Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri again! And I would like to thank Ann Mimi darling for inviting me to her open house for Raya.

Vain pots camwhoring on the way to Ann's house at Batu Caves

Reached Ann's place about 7pm, and I was already looking forward to all the good traditional Malay food!

Ann, Kelvin, Me

Lizzie and Jia Wei camwhoring with the ketupat. It was the same night that Jia Wei left to China.

I got curious at the kitchen and decided to see how Ann was cutting the buluh for the lemang! Interesting.

Food!

Ketupat, best served with satay sauce

My favorite, Lemang, best served with chicken curry or rendang.

Rendang daging

The food was great and I ate about probably 5 rounds of meal and lots of lemang and rendang! I swore I grew atleast half a kg by the end of the night.

Thank you for inviting us again, Ann and thank you for the great meal!
I shall end this post with Jia Wei's sleeping picture as a result of the great food that was served, which made him full and slept through in Ann's living room! :)

Greetings. First of all, I would like to wish all my muslim friends, Selamat Hari Raya! Have a safe journey back to your hometown, party safe, enjoy your hearty meals with your family and be responsible on the road! :)

Hillsong United + Ipoh one night trip!

2010-09-09T04:08:00.009+08:00

On a random drunk Tuesday night several weeks ago, I got a random text from Smita!

Smi : Sam, are you coming to Ipoh tomorrow? Hillsong will be performing in Ipoh!

Me : What? Serious? Im coming tomorrow!

Acknowledging that I was half drunk when I made the promise, I realized that its been a while since I've been to any one of those Hillsong/Planet Shakers concerts. Maybe my half-conscious drunk self was telling me to prioritize God since it has been sometime since I worshipped God for that matter.

So it was all last minute to go down to Ipoh. Woke up with terrible hangover the next day at 3pm, together with a mild flu, cough and fever, completely forgotten to bring my bible there, and quickly rushed to Pavilion to meet DJ J-One there as I was following his car to Ipoh.

Thankfully we managed to reach there in time for the concert to start, although the journey there have been filled with me listening to the funny, yet lovable singing of the two sohai DJs, DJ Khaixz and DJ J-One. :)

The concert was held at Syuen Hotel, Ipoh and there were a LOT of Hillsong fans. It seems almost new to me again, being in an environment full of Christians, yet exciting.

The Hillsong Team

Its time to worship.

It was amazing to see 4000 people in the auditorium unanimously singing and worshipping Him. I almost cried during one of the worship session as I remembered how I used to feel when I worship, knowing that there's only ONE who can love me more than I love myself....Jesus.

Pastor Josh gave his 10-15 mins of sermon on younger generations trying to fit in the materialistic world these days, using his own personal experience as an example. I felt a slight pinch at that sermon.

After the concert ended, headed to Barroom with Smi for a short chilling session as J-One was spinning there as a Guest DJ that night, together with a good friend of mine, Mikeal, also known as DJ Liquid, the resident DJ at Barroom.

DJ Liquid

DJ J-One and Smita

Smita and I

I didn't manage to stay over at Smi's place for a night or two at Ipoh as I was getting sick already then. It was an eye opener for me that night and I learnt a lot.

I glad I went for the concert because it was a blessing to me. Atleast I know that God still loves me, no matter how many times I forgotten Him, and chose to neglect Him.

HelenaMaria : My New Inspiration

2010-09-07T18:51:00.005+08:00

I think I've abandoned my music for a while now.

I remember picking up my guitar, strumming to simple, basic chords and words of lyrics and song would flow naturally from my lips.

I remember hogging the mic, jumping into any opportunity I can just to perform on stage and amaze people with my voice.

Those were the days.

I guess the lack of self confidence and lack of inspiration took over the love of music.

The once so confident me is no longer confident.

There are too many local bands and local talented artists in Malaysia already,

and so I gave myself a pat and thought and told myself,

"You can never make it, Sam".

But recently I came across this talented twins sisters.

HelenaMaria.

Now THIS is what I called TALENT.

Listen to 'em.

And after listening to this version of "I Love The Way You Lie", originally sang by Eminem feat. Rihanna,inspiration came seeping back inside me. These girls are insanely talented.Someone discover them already!
Sometimes it all boils down to personal preferences, whether people think you're good or not, or whether you're worth a shot.
Music and singing has always been my dream, although Im majoring in Accounting because it seems like the "safest" route to take just in case all else doesn't work out (chinese mentality),
I think I might just take a shot at this.

Merdeka Celebration

2010-09-07T17:00:00.006+08:00

My blogging mojo is back once again. Its like period. Where it seems like I only update at a certain time of the month and you'll see no more updates from me until the next month, and the cycle continues.

And I realized I have a few overdue posts which I want to update, but decided to blog about Merdeka Celebration.

Happy Independence day again Malaysia!

No matter how fucked up this country may be with racist cibais on the loose, (click me) and how you wish you could just migrate to somewhere else (like me), there's no reason to NOT celebrate the independence of Malaysia.

So, went out with the usual group of party-goers and close friends to Mist Club, Bangsar on Merdeka Eve where DJ Funkzu, DJ Monkey and DJ Miss Eva T were spinning the night away, including our very own national anthem.

Me, DJ Eva T and Samantha. Miss Eva T is darn HOT.

Pauline and Val baby needs no introduction. :)

The guys. From left : Feezy, Kelvin, Andrew, Terry & Jason

At the end of the night :

Jason was drunk, as usual.

Drunkards everywhere and stupid brainless fights,

Kelvin's car window got smashed and some of his things got stolen.

Operasi everywhere.

Oh well. happy fucking independence day Malaysia. :)

Chlling @ KLCC

2010-08-14T08:12:00.002+08:00

Greetings earthlings. Its already the 2nd week of August and I realised semester is starting soon! I haven't been doing much during the holidays except have been following some of the djs around to Genting and Ipoh,which is work to them but holiday to me, been attending some events, and the usual weekly clubbing routine. Not to mention I've been sick for almost a week already ever since I came back from Genting.

Sometimes all I wanna do is just chill with a couple of friends, with no beer involved, catching up on each others' lives.... sipping away on lattes' and checking out hotties are no exception either.

And my housemate, Kelvin rocks completely because I think he can secretly read my mind and decided we should chill at KLCC.

Kelvin

Mark

Lantos

Still learning the art of camwhoring.

Being with this humorous eathlings really brightened up my day. Sometimes with Kelvin's sarcasm and his sohainess and Pauline's annoying high-pitched voice which is funny most of the time made my day most of the time!

MTV World Stage 2010 Live in Malaysia

2010-08-03T16:06:00.004+08:00

I managed to get FREE pass to MTV Worldstage a day before the concert,
thanks to my babe, Melina Waland!! Love u much!

Met up with Melina and Ann at Sunway Pyramid at 5pm before the concert starts.

Ann

Rushed to Sunway Lagoon to discover that the queue was effin LONG!
Not to mention that it started raining heavily around 6pm, the time the concert
was supposed to start and you can see people queuing up with raincoats
and umbrellas!

Managed to get inside about 7pm and MTV World Stage was caring enough
to provide us with raincoats, probably dejavu from last year's MTV Worldstage.

The crowd, while waiting for performance to start

Finally rain stopped and Bunkface started performing!

After about 4 or 5 songs and commercial breaks in between,
there goes Wonder Girls and you can hear all different kinds of male species
screaming out different Korean names at the same time!

Their performance were hot and they were creative in using props in their performance such as cage and guitars.

Halfway through Wonder Girls performance, I got hungry and left to Sunway Pyramid for a while for dinner session with DJ J-one and DJ Khaixz at TGIF, while Ann decided to stay in and have their over-priced pizza instead.

Came back just in time for Tokio Hotel and Katy Perry's performance!

It was a great experience eventhough it was raining at first and the commercial breaks in between was slighlty too long, but most importantly had fun watching live performances from Bunkface, Wonder Girls, Tokio Hotel and Katy Perry!

Back @ Maison

2010-08-02T20:27:00.003+08:00

Its been a while since I last stepped foot into Maison,
and considering almost every week I'll be spotted at either MOS, Poppy or Helobali, my friends and I decided to head back to Maison for cheaper liquor and some mash-up music from DJ Funkzu and DJ Monkey!

Went with my lovelies last Thurs on Ladies Night!

Lizzie

Its been a while partying with Lizzie cause she works 6 nights a week at Dolphin, Mentari as a singer. Thankfully that night was her night off and she was able to join us for party!

Valen & Lizzie

Sweet couple Jia Wei & Lizzie

The DJs gave out free pink caps at the dance floor, but somehow the guys likes it better!

Mark & Terry

At the end of night :

Drunkards and more drunkards,
I was sober this time although I had way too many free shots! :)
and Jason discovered his feminine side! *laughs*
