I went to the previous Hennessy Artistry event before and it was real awesome as there’s free flow of Hennessy and you can mix up your own VSOP with different types of mixer. The Hennessy Apple and Hennessy Citrus are my favourites.

There will be great music too, which this time featuring Trimix, Reshmonu, and Beautiful Beat Girls. It will be a awesome night with nice music, awesome VSOP, nice people and not forget to mention, Hennessy Mixing Bar, Hennessy Music Mix Synth, Hennessy iMix Challenge and the Hennessy Interactive Photowall for your in-house entertainment.

Cadbury Pop It Or Drop It Ground Event At Pavilion

[ADV] Hello people. Last week, I went to Pavilion at Bukit Bintang to check out the Cadbury Choclairs Pop It Or Drop It Ground Event! Yes, you are right, it’s the ground event, not the Internet Facebook game that I introduced few weeks back.

It’s the real thing where people play the real game instead of playing on the keyboard. Damn cool you know. The event started at about 12pm and ended at around 4.30pm. I was around there to join the fun, see what were the contestants doing and having fun. The whole event was pretty interesting.

It was not really a sunny day, drizzled a little bit in the afternoon but luckily the drizzle did not stop the game from going on. However, the cloudy day made it a nice day to spend some times outdoor. I see people were having fun at the Cadbury Choclairs Pop It Or Drop It game. They were just playing hard to win the grand prize which is a ticket for 4 to Gold Coast, Australia!

The game goes like this actually which two participants have to race to the end, the fastest duo wins away the prizes. There’s different part of the game. The first part is the Bungee Dash is like tug of war. The player has to ran against the pulling to get hold of the big Cadbury Choclairs.

Then he need to bounce up the to the top at the next station, then slide down. It’s bounce, or jump, not climb. =D Then he has to slide down and find 10 mini balls.

After that, he will need to pop the balloons with only using the ass which sounds funny and fun.

After successfully popping the balloon, he will then need to climb up a spiderweb where chocolate milk is pouring from top as a chocolate rain. He will bath in chocolate, and he then reaches the final check point and TIME! Sounds interesting right? I actually like the chocolate rain part where people really can taste the chocolate with just an open of the mouth! I wanted to play so badly, just however that I did not bring any extra clothing to change. Aduh.

Besides the big game, there’s also small games like popping Choclairs on a big screen and treasure hunt on Choclairs which leaded to a handphone prize! It’s like a mini games and prizes carnival set up by Cadbury. Very fun.

Besides that, I was not so lucky to win the lucky draw which the prizes were handphone and cash!

And lastly, there’s the prize giving ceremony and want to congrats the winner for winning the ticket to Australia! OMG. I want it so badly. Haha.

ONE MORE THING, remember to check out Choclairs Malaysia’s Facebook Page for more and more about the event and some upcoming cool stuff by them. It’s really very awesome, go LIKE the page, enjoy and HAVE FUN! Choco BOOM!

Youth Jam 2011 At Penang Times Square

Last weekend’s Youth Jam 2011 (Powered by SONY Malaysia), organized by Penang Youths was a blast because it had so many awesome activities and great prizes for the youth. It was an event for the youth, organized by the youth leaders of Penang which they called it the Penang Youth and I saw it’s a pretty good approach on getting young people together and have a little carnival-liked thingy for them to enjoy.

My friend was part of the organizing team and as a support, I went to check out what’s around there on day 1 and day 2. I feel the idea and the concept of the event is pretty good, somehow that I feel the crowds were not strong enough, and if there’s fun fair around then it’s perfect.

Graffiti Competition, congrats to Jin Xin who got champion.

Though, the activities was pretty interesting, like treasure hunt, photography competition, blogger awards, graffiti competition, dance and cheerleading workshop, food competition, cosplay showcase and the best part was the talent search. I think the talent search event was awesome because it attracted so many talented people to come and join the audition at first.

Well, another great thing to talk about was the prizes! The prizes for all the competition were really awesome as there were big cash prizes, lots of DSLR and Sony Cybershots cameras, hampers, and even get signed by a local producing company for the talent search champion.

I myself submitted my blog for the youth blog awards and I won the Best Content Award and Best Food Blog Award. This shows that Penang has not many blogger, yet. Haha.

After visiting the event for 2 days, I felt the best parts were receiving my award and see the talent search competition final as my high school friend, Ang Min Sheng got the Golden Ticket (Highest Like Vote on Facebook) who went straight to the final with his partner, Jerry. Their group name is Hardwater, which actually a translation from Penang Hokkien – Ngeh Zhui, which means being insisting. Haha.

I went to show my support and went to check out others too. All the finalists were really powerful and now I realized that in a talent search competition, singing just one song or showing of a kind of performance is not enough. Now is about mash-up and multi-talent. Almost every finalist created their own mash-up and sang various songs in their performance. Cool.

Hardwater.

The talent search was like a concert because the contestant knows their stage act well, like how to cheer the crowds. Really cool. If there’s more people at there, then it will be real cool, just too bad there’s not much people checking the competition that day.

Lio Yi Jun who was the project director.

Jazz Tan, the managing director for the event and Penang Youths.

Saatesh, my NS friend.

The Chung Ling High School friends. Min Sheng, Jerry, me, Yong Fu, Huan Jie and Ren Yu.

Well, did meet some friends at there too besides just checking out the talent search competition.

One last cool thing was there’s a Michael Jackson imposter who was real young and really super “Michael Jackson” and powerful. Like all his dance move, he was so MJ!

Wesak Day Parade At Bukit Bintang

3 weeks ago, it was Wesak Day, or Vesak Day known to some people. I don’t really know which is the correct spelling but I still prefer calling it the Wesak Day. It’s a Buddhism religious festival, that is the birth of Lord Buddha. On that day, I went to Fo Guang Shan Dong Zeng Temple to pray in the morning and bath the Buddha, and at night, I went to Bukit Bintang to check out the flower floats parade.

I actually thought of going to the temple only and didn’t know what there’s a float parade too in the Kuala Lumpur city until I read about a newspaper article about the event at Bukit Bintang. The floats parade procession started off at Brickfield with a route or approximately 12km and will passed by Bukit Bintang area at night. Since I did join the parade before in Penang, so I went to check out the one at Bukit Bintang.

I thought that I would be in Penang that time but due to finals exam and assignment submission, I had to stay in KL.

It was about 8.30pm and I still saw no sign of the float of people on the street. I thought I got it wrong, I thought they have passed already while I was shopping in one of the shopping mall around the area. Then I look around, I saw policemen in the middle of the road with cones. I waited for a while and I saw they start closing the road and then I knew that the float parade hadn’t passed that area. =D

I waited quite long as the after the road closure, I and my friend Arvin waited until like 9.30pm only there’s sign of it. Though we got first class view of everything. =D

Finally at around 9.30pm, the parade is here. With Buddhist devotee leading the way, follows by floats and devotees of different Buddhist association followed behind. I got excited and started to take photograph and pray.

It’s pretty surprised to see so many people as the amount of people was for sure many many more than the one in Penang, with even more floats.

I believed the people have walked a long way to here and it was a pretty warm night as you can see perspiration on people’s face and some have towel hang over their neck. It’s also kinda cute to see that they brought their pet dog along too.

Floats promoting a green Earth.

It was funny before the float came as there’s not many people waiting for it, I think we are the few who waited for since 8.30pm and when around 9pm that the road were closed, busybody started came by to check out what’s happening and the funny part was some busybody asked us that was it some film shooting scene. Haha. Come on, it’s Wesak Day.

There’s many cute cute floats with little kids dress in Chinese goddess on it. Monks sprinkling the so-call Holy Water to the masses and voice of prayers can be heard. It’s really a holy and happenings night where everyone of different race and religion and join in.

Nice sleeping buddha.

Distributing free mineral water to the public.

Cute little monks.

Thousands and thousands of people gathered around Bukit Bintang just to see the floats. It’s really a sea of people with police and medic team standby.

There’s even lion dance too!

Arvin Tang.

The whole parade took about 1 hour plus and there’s really many many floats which all were so awesome. A good night out with my classmate Arvin to check out the Wesak Day. Arvin who is from Medan, Indonesia never came across with event like this before and it’s his first time. He said it was quite fun and special and he liked it. Cheers!

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

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! =)
