Hennessy Artistry 2012 @ KWC, Kuala Lumpur

Everybody ready for a party post?

 So, I had tons of fun at Hennessy Artistry at KWC two Saturdays ago. 

Held on the 8th of September, Hennessy Artistry has set the benchmark for the finale of 2012’s Global Art of Mixing Trilogy by pulling off yet another unmatched party experience for KL party-goers.

I really liked the venue of the party this round. There was ample party space and it definitely fitted the thousands that came to party rock that night! 

The Hennessy Mixing Zone definitely stood out as a true highlight in the black and red-hued venue, where party-goers are treated with signature Hennessy V.S.O.P. long drinks : Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Ginger, Hennessy Soda and Hennessy Berry. 

At 10.30pm, everyone's attention were captured by the sexy emcees of the night, Julie Woon and Nadia Heng, as the lights dimmed, next up on the decks were Mr. Nasty and GuruGuru. 

As party goers started pouring into the main party arena, energy levels began to surge in sync to the infectious beats channelled by electro and big room masterminds B.A.T.E. (Brains and the Eye).

Eva Simons' presence commanded the entire party zone as soon as she appeared on stage, blasting her vocals and debuting extremely danceable tracks, working the crowd to a crescendo. She also effortlessly made the crowd go even wilder with her renowned dance anthem, Take Over Control. It was awesome.

She was also so much taller than I expected her to be. Hehe.

The thousands of party people that night!

 It was HUGE!

 I was happily chilling at the O Zone (the zone upstairs) with some familiar faces and we definitely had a good time. :)

Another wedding performance

Another week has passed.

So, last week, I had received a call from a bride who last minutely wanted a violinist to play for her march-in for the wedding reception. And since it was last minute, she couldn't find anyone else who would do it. So, it's Super Ash to save the day!

*was so tempted to poke the cake*

I'm just kidding. I'm glad she called because I was just thinking of how I missed performing for weddings, since the last one, which was my cousin's.

This one was held at Duck King Tycoon, at Wisma Selangor Dredging, Kuala Lumpur. It was a Chinese wedding reception. They have requested me to play "Endless Love" as the march-in song. I thought it was a pretty good choice, also one of my parents' wedding songs.

Here's the bride and myself! She was so gorgeous. Loved her gown! The thing I look forward to during weddings... bridal gowns. heh

However, there was such a huge heart attack for me when I arrived at the venue.

There was no sound technician. 

No one knew where to plug my electric violin in.

Tried every hole to jack it in but no sound.

I swear, it was 30 minutes before the whole thing was going to start and there was gonna be a no march-in with the violin. I didn't care. There WAS gonna be a show. 

Finally, Dan managed to find the right place to jack in the violin to and there was SOUND. Was never so happy in my life. Amazing, he is. 

You know, before every huge event or planned event, something goes wrong and then problem is solved and things go back exactly as planned? I thank God there was a happy ending to my situation.

Crisis averted. 

Then everything else went smooth sailing. Even with no sound technician. ;)

I had used a wireless mic to play and walk at the same time. It was all good and the couple requested me to play another song after the first course.. and I played the same one I had played and arranged for my cousin's wedding. 

I'm glad they liked it. And I had fun performing for them and the crowd was just lovely. 

Congrats to the bride & groom!
