Carlsberg's 2013 Christmas Party and Media Appreciation Dinner

Argh! It's been 2 weeks. Time flies!

I've had a busy 2 weeks. There was always something on everyday in my calendar. It also just came to my realization that Xmas is in another 2 weeks time. o_O Time to get shopping.

The other day I've attended the Carlsberg Xmas Party that took place at the brewery in Shah Alam. It was a rainy day and the traffic jam was unimaginable. Well, that's how it is here in KL whereas everyone just walks in Welly. Just really thankful that I didn't have to walk in the rain here.

The party kicked off to an interesting start by dance performance to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas", bringing in the Xmas spirit. All eyes were on them. Bet Tim was very happy. Heh Heh.

Guests were served with a lot of good food too. I was pleasantly surprised to see pasta, roasted turkey, lamb, grilled fish and a lot of other goodies on the buffet station to go with a glass of Carlsberg. Totally makes up for the long jam and gloomy weather! 

Met Estelle that day and naturally, we got caught camwhoring. Lol

This was the picture taken in my phone.

And then with Andy Kho in between. :)

Estelle, Tim and I.

What's your poison?

I'm a Somersby kinda girl. The beauty of being in the brewery was that we got to choose from so many varieties of beer under Carlsberg, like Asahi, Kronenbourg, Somersby, Connor's, Little Creatures, and even Jagermeister (although that's not beer)!

Totally PARTAY!! 

I heard if you took more than 5 of these and you'll be teleported home..cos who needs machines for that, right? :P

Also, did you know that drinking beer from a straw gets you drunk faster? Speed kills. 

DJ Calvin Khoo did a fine job creating the party atmosphere that night. I enjoyed most of his tracks and I could tell that a dude enjoyed it so much he was dancing the entire night. Haha! I miss listening to a good mix of dance tracks, which is quite rare in the clubs in Wellington.

The Kronenbourg Eiffel Tower just outside the brewery. Too bad it was raining or else I'd go and get a better shot of it. 

Wet Grass + Mud + Heels is definitely not ideal.

Bumped into Anna! My Kill Bang Marry babe. :)

As it was one of my first events since my return, I was so happy to be reunited with Tim, Andy and the other bloggers again!

Messing around with the foam snowman with Estelle. 

Carlsberg gave us this generous basket of beer to take home as we left the party. :D I'll have a very merry Christmas, thank you Carlsberg! Heh. I see Somersby, Kronenbourg and Asahi. *pumps fist in air*

The next morning, I've made my first visit to Muar to see Mr.Lee.
It's definitely an adventure if you're stuck at a bus stop waiting for a bus that comes 5 hours late! Haha

Stick around for the next post!

Hennessy Artistry Penang :: The Party

Penang looked rather beautiful as the sun went down... which only meant that it was time for Hennessy Artistry Penang to happen! 

We wasted no time in getting down to party at  the island's trendiest waterfront, at Straits Quay Convention Centre (SQCC).

By the time it was 10pm, the convention centre was packed with party people! Mostly from Penang and some from KL too. There was about more than 2000 party goers just waiting to get it started at Hennessy Artistry Penang.

My outfit for the night :

Dress from Forever21

Shoes from Vincci

Accessories from Peacocks

Yeah, so this was us "BEFORE", during the day.

and this was "AFTER", all dolled up and in our highest heels!

 Like always, Hennessy presents the Hennessy Mixing Bar, where guests enjoyed the signature Hennessy VSOP long drinks, that ranged from Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Berry, Hennessy Ginger and Hennessy Soda.

Here I was shown how to mix my own Hennessy Apple. It was delicious! :)

Famous for mind blowing parties and fresh experiences, Hennessy Artistry amazed guests at the party with Hennessy's very own  Hennessy 360 Cam for the first time in Malaysia!
 Just like at the Grammy Awards and Golden Globes, a seamless 360 degree panoramic video will be taken of partygoers who pose in the middle of the stage, shot by multiple cameras.

Here's our go at the 360 Cam!

Other than that, guests were required to download and register on the MyHennessy mobile app. This app enabled them to scan a video of their own Hennessy 360 Cam turn, and upload it onto the Hennessy Malaysia Facebook wall. They will also be automatically tagged, through the QR code! The MyHennessy mobile app also allows guests the receive the latest updates from Hennessy Malaysia.

"We love house music!"

It was really exciting to be at a party again, especially after finals! Especially when I'm privileged enough to be right infront of the DJ table and enjoy the awesome house music spun by DJ Ramsey Westwood, who was the party starter of the night.

 MCs Rich and Holly kept the party spirit going in the venue, totally turned into a dance sphere for the night, complete with a ginormous stage for the upcoming performances. I thought MC Rich was quite a looker. Heh.

Suki Low wowed the crowd with her powerful vocals and joined Ramsey Westwood onstage performing  hits such as Lady Gaga’s Edge Of Glory to Katy Perry’s Fireworks and a mash-up of Rihanna’s We Found Love with Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Lollipop F wowed the crowd with their tightly choreographed dance moves, performing Dance and 4th Dimension.

DJ Andy Moor managed to hit all the sonic sweet spots and more, the crowd was dancing nonstop!

The night ended with a blast of energetic dance tracks spun by house and electro meister DJ Ernest C, who took the decks!

It was definitely a party to remember. I had such a ball hanging out with the team, enjoying and dancing to quality house and electro music, all at the same time, sipping on my Hennessy Apple!
