Carlsberg's CNY 2013 Promotion Launch

It was a hot and stuffy Wednesday evening, with slow traffic in Ampang, having an ice cold bottle of Carlsberg was just perfect at that moment!

I had gone to the Carlsberg Chinese New Year 2013 Promotion Launch with Tim Chew and Chelsea right after gym at Empire Shopping Gallery. The CNY national campaign was launched at the Nine Emperor Gods Temple. 

Inspired by the money tree plant which is said to bring good fortune to all who receive it, Calrsberg ushers in Lunar New Year with a unique 16 feet high 'Tree of Abundance' which symbolizes the brand's 2013 CNY theme 'May your prosperity reach new heights this Chinese New Year'.

Initially, I was surprised that the event would be held at a temple... just to arrive and be welcomed with festive Chinese decor, tents and lights which were located outside the temple. "Oh right..."

We had some Chinese snacks like "Ba Kua", crackers and roasted duck to go with our chilled Carlsberg. Mmm.

The launch started with a Chinese Drum performance.

It was quite a pretty sight when fireworks were launched.

  I was mesmerized by the awesome lion dance performance by the Kun Seng Keng Dragon Lion Dance Association. Their stilts were really high. Personally, lion dances are my favorite part of celebrating Chinese New Year. :)

Chelsea and I had a ball hijacking Tim's camera and camwhoring like camwhore queens. Tim's camera battery probably went down by one bar. Sorry, Tim! Hehe
