  • Hennessy Artistry 2011 At Opera Sunway

    Hennessy Artistry 2011 At Opera Sunway

    Two weeks ago, I was invited to go to Hennessy Artisrty party at Opera Sunway. Well, I am not really a clubber but somehow I enjoyed this kind of event well. Last year, I went to the one at QE2 and this year I am here because o my current location which is so near to Sunway Pyramid. Arron Lim and Grace Lee of Penang joined me too! HAHAHA, their name so formal here, I’ll make it Arron and Grace.

    It happened on the 30th April and 2 days before it happened in Penang. Luckily I was in Sunway that time so I could attend the event. I was invited as blogger, gotta thanks Xiang and Helenness for the first invite last year and now I get to join most of the HA events.

    Hennessy Artistry was all about great music and the main thing, the global art of mixing, which in simple words, the free flow of Hennessy VSOP, the best part of the night.


    iPad challenge! Noob though.

    The event started at 9pm sharp and we arrived like half an hour late and it’d already filled with so many hardcore party people. Luckily the flows still go on. Well, it’s not just good music and Hennessy, there’s still little entertainment station which like the iPad game challenge that whoever got the top 5 scores get away a limited edition Hennessy VSOP, too bad the game really lag and we were not pro. Couldn’t get the free bottle back. We kept trying already, still it’s not good.


    Arron learning how to mix.

    I thought of the purpose of the event, it’s actually encourage people to enjoy the art of mixing Hennessy VSOP with other mixer like Apple, Ginger, Lime and Cranberry. Well, Apple and Lime are my favourite all the time. =D

    The place was real hot, beside hot chicks, but what I meant was the temperature of the club, I wonder why but nothing we could do, still enjoyed the rest of the night with chilling Hennessy.

    Nothing much, party, music, liquor, nice people, nice environment but hot and that’s the night. I’ll let the picture says. =)


    Grace mixing.


    Arron and Grace.


    Arron, the bartender.


    Photo corner, pretty fun.


    Music mixing corner, we were too bored and we went to play everything that they offered us to play.


    There’s actually a Blogger zone! Rocks. Happy to be a blogger. Sharing is caring.


    Not surprised to met Povy there who was actually at the Penang HA and now she’s at here cause she’s a hardcore party goer!

    Hennessy Artistry, The Global Art Of Mixing, rocks.

    Gonna sleep, going to Singapore tomorrow. Yay.

  • Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple On Wesak Day

    Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple On Wesak Day

    2 days ago was Wesak Day, how did you guys celebrate your holiday? I as a Buddhist went to pray and joined the celebration too. Every year, I do go to the nearest temple to my home to pray on this holy day, but then this year I am so far away from home, I am now residing in Klang Valley. Being a stranger to this place, I didn’t know where can I go to pray, I went to Google online and I found the Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen temple at Jenjarom, Kuala Langat. =D

    If you not really a local around there, you might not here about this place. I told dad about Jenjarom, but he didn’t know too, but when I talk about Kuala Langat, he knew and he was pretty surprised why I went till so far. The place was like 40km from my home in Sunway and took about half an hour plus drive to there.

    I knew the place is far, but I was curious because I heard about the temple and want to go check it out. So I don’t mind taking the not-very-long drive. Hehe. I went there with my Indonesian classmate, Arvin. Since he’s new to Malaysia, and I am new to Klang Valley, we went to explore around.

    Jenjarom is actually a Chinese kampung in Kuala Langat. It’s very not city and has nice and friendly people there. Good that a temple is built far away from the city for a sense of peace.

    Unlike the Kek Lok Si temple in Penang, it’s not that huge, but yet fascinating, with a big praying hall. What Buddhist normally do on Wesak Day is go to the temple to pray and help to bath the little Buddha for blessings. We help to clean the body of Buddha statue.

    Well, even though it’s far from the city, there’s still many people went to the temple to pray.

    After prayers, we went to explore around the place. Actually there’s nothing much. However from what I have known, the Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen temple has an open house during Chinese New Year and has many activities during that time. Miss the opportunity this year and I’m going to check it out next year if I am here. =)

    It’s quite a hot day and I was perspiring all the while, but then you couldn’t believe that it rained very heavily in the afternoon. The weather have been going crazy lately, rain, hot, rain, hot.

     

    After exploring, we went away from the place because nothing much to see around the little kampung. The next stop was to Bukit Bintang to wait for the Wesak Day Parade, it’s pretty exciting to check out the parade in KL because previously I saw was in Penang, my hometown. Cheers! =)

     

  • Midnight See People Play Ice Hockey At Sunway Pyramid

    Midnight See People Play Ice Hockey At Sunway Pyramid

    On one fine midnight, after attending the Hennessy Artistry event at night, I saw people playing ice hockey at the ice skating ring in Sunway Pyramid. It’s pretty late at about 2am already, where all shops are already closed and extremely silent thoughout the mall, but the ring was noisy. Cheering and shouting from the team could be heard.

    Midnight is a good time to play ice hockey because they can book the whole ring. It’s pretty cool seeing people play in during the night as there’s no ice skating ring in my hometown, there’s actually one 12 years back (at Bukit Jambul Complex) but failed due to low reception.

    I salute them can run so fast on the ice because I can’t even skate. The pro part of all is that they never fell down. I couldn’t imagine myself playing this. Haha. If it’s a dry ground, without ice is OK, perhaps floorball or hockey. =D

    We didn’t know them and we just see. And our “see” already took us like half an hour. Hahaha. We really got nothing to do in the middle of the night. Cool eh, them. RANDOM.

  • Last Day Of Building Construction Class

    Last Day Of Building Construction Class

    After spending so many midnight time in campus, it came to the last day of Building Construction which was one of my subject for semester 2 of Diploma In Interior Design. It doesn’t really comes to an end because I’ll be taking Building Construction 2 for the next semester. Walao eh!

    Well, time flies and it finally came to an end. Thanks to the sleepless night and awesome project, mister lecturer, Sivaranam. =) It’s a tired day but the sky was blue, really very blue. Even though it’s blue, it didn’t brighten up my mentality because I was physically tired and sleep, but I still could force myself to shout (very random).


    Mellysa, tired face. =D


    Arvin still look so power.

    I believe that day was not only me that was tired, most of everyone were. Treated myself in a good Chinese restaurant in campus as a reward for not sleeping.


    Connie, the Hakka girl.


    Tai lou and Zhi Inn of Muar!

    Then went to feel and molested the iPad 2 (even I already had an iPad) at the campus’ Apple store and it marks the end of the day. Bye bye Building Construction class. Hello, Building Construction exam! Which happening in 2 days time. I gotto read now. Cheers!

  • Midnight At Taylor’s University Architectural Studio

    Midnight At Taylor’s University Architectural Studio

    I spent a few nights at the studio in my campus lately due to last minute work. Yeah yeah, I bet many of you also always do last minute work. Haha. It’s so last minute that I only get to go back and sleep for like an hour or 2 early in the morning, then go back in class, though the experience was fun, especially with a group of people, loud music in the silent campus and big studio room.

    Building Construction’s project was the troublesome one which took so many of my precious energy and nights of sleep. Satisfaction reached, yet the quality not that good due to wrong method, but anyway, we learned the lesson.

    I realised the good of Taylor’s University is that there’s place for people to use to do work. I and my team can’t be doing this at home because it will be very messy and we have to clean it ourselves, but in the studio, we can make it as messy it is, and someone will eventually come and clean it later.

    To use the studio, we need to book it 3 days in advance, but then we didn’t. We just “borrowed” the room from our senior who booked it. The lousy thing about studio is that there’s no wifi service, which “Great, concentration” because that area is not covered in the hotspot and only one LAN connection port available.

    However, the best part is the usage of projector and loud speaker. We played the music all night long.

    Well, it would be great that there’s 24/7 cafe or food corner open in Taylor’s University, unfortunately, no. Though there’s plenty of vending machines around, yet they still doesn’t get on par with a plate of Maggi Goreng at the midnight mamak. Yes, we went out to hunt for food during our pauses.

    I realised that the campus switch the air-conditioned to a warm temperature at a period of time in the midnight, as so it’s pretty warm sometimes. Luckily it was raining out there, which the rain drop accompanied us together with the music.

    I actually brought a pillow, thinking that I would be sleeping in the studio and go to class in the morning, but I failed because I just couldn’t fall asleep, even how sleepy and tired I was. I just took a 5 minutes drive home and sleep. Even it’s just an hour of sleep, it’s still better than not sleeping.

    Well, sometimes it’s funny when people just come to campus and that’s the time when I go back home. It’s almost sunrise, and I met a bunch of friends, came all the way from Sepang, 50km away to Taylor’s, early in the morning, to borrow the study room and read, before heading to breakfast. That’s the power and craziness of Penangites.

    Well, don’t laugh. Bricks laying takes time. =D Not proud, but that’s the 2 sleepless night in studio.

  • The Big Apple’s Helium Balloon Is Down

    The Big Apple’s Helium Balloon Is Down

    Still remember the big helium balloon I showed in the iPad post? One fine midnight, I pulled it down and touched it and put it back up again. Haha.

    Ok, how it happened was on one fine midnight when I was spending my night in campus to rush my assignment with Wesley, Steve, Jia Hui and others, we passed by the balloon place, then my itchy hand started pulling the rope that ties to the balloon. It was heavy a bit but it’s easy to be pulled.

    Steve and Wesley helped to pull on the other side to balance it and in the end, we touched it for fun and let it go again. Haha. Very childish act, but fun, I like. =D

  • The Velvet Rabbit Musical On Easter’s Day

    The Velvet Rabbit Musical On Easter’s Day

    Very spontaneously, I went to see a musical in conjunction with last month’s Easter’s Day, many weeks back, last month, which happened to be in my campus, one of the lecture theaters. The musical drama is called The Velvet Rabbit by Harvest Generation Church.

    How I actually came to this was that on the day before Easter, Arron called me and asked if I was in campus or not, I was not but then I was later because to met him up, they were going to see the musical actually and I just simply followed. That’s it, very spontaneous and unplanned.

    Actually, this was my first time checking out a musical drama. Looking at their props, their live band background music, I think they are pretty cool, just that the singing off a bit, yet it’s entertaining. We can’t be expecting Broadways standard here anyhow.

    So that afternoon, I went to find my Penang friend and high school mate Arron in my campus, they were studying, online and playing Monopoly Deal at the same time and I joined them. Since it’s a Saturday, I thought why should I stay in my room, moreover I have paid so much of resource fee for the school and so I have to use the resource and facilities to the max, money sucker Taylor’s University.

     

     

    Well, the story is about a girl named Annie with a talking toy rabbit, ran away from home, met bad guys, and her dad dies, then the talking toy rabbit revive his dad, and lastly bad guy got caught and live happily ever after. =D

    The end. Any nice musical drama coming soon? I come support support, provided it’s cheap, or FREE. The one I went was free by the way. Hehe.

  • Raining Cats And Dogs

    Raining Cats And Dogs

    3 days ago was very hot, it’s hot during the day and night. Luckily I have air-conditioned in the room. Some sort of hot and warm wind blowing around this area, Penang and Kuala Lumpur.

    2 days ago, finally, it rained. Rain brought water onto the earth, cooling all around, quenching thirst of the flowers and grass, greening the environment again.

    Yesterday was thundering, though it only happened in Penang, not Kuala Lumpur. I am waiting for the rain to come, then I can make myself a reason not to go anywhere, and sleep whole day long, enjoying the sound of the rain drops, tik tak tik tak.

    I think something is wrong with Mother Earth, tornado at USA, negative coldness at Melbourne, flood at Mississippi. What’s wrong? Doomsday? Yay, not.

  • Brought DID Friends To Penang’s Kuan Yin Temple

    Brought DID Friends To Penang’s Kuan Yin Temple

    Well, last week, my classmate of Diploma In Interior Design (DID) from all over the places (KL, Indonesia, Muar, Sandakan) came to visit my hometown, unfortunately I could hardly spend time with them because my brother came back from Singapore recently and most of my time spent was with my family, and want to apologize for that matter. =) Anyway, did meet up with them in the middle of the night and also the last day of their trip.

    One of the place I brought them was to the UNESCO site, the famous Penang’s Kuan Yin Temple on Pitt Street, to pray and to see. It’d been some time I didn’t go to pray already, so it’s a good opportunity too.

    Surprisingly, they were kinda excited and interested while visiting the temple. I thought they would thought that temple is boring and dirty and blablabla, but no.

    Well, want to let you guys know that the Kuan Yin’s Temple on Pitt Street is one of the must visit in Penang because it’s listed in one of the UNESCO Heritage Building list, so it’s cool. =D

    It’s very very very hot day though. But then it’s raining now in Penang! =D I always keep track of what’s happening back home. Yay.

    =) Birds.
