				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The invites to this year&#8217;s event looked so posh. Initially, I planned to bring along a kang tau. However, having a girlfriend who works in the FBI, my plan was eventually discovered and I had no choice but to give the other invite to Vivian. If not, she said, I will lose my left nut. <img src='http://famouschris.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif' alt=':evil:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-h3GH-Vgc6Fo/UbVO_RKIsNI/AAAAAAAA59k/87FC9i-HT7A/s0/hennessy%252520artistry%252520invites%2525202013.jpg' /></p>
<p>At about 8.27pm Vivian and I arrived at the entrance to PISA.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-VOJ6sucC30Q/UbVPBv5EOXI/AAAAAAAA59s/3uh8Gq_XNGw/s0/balloon%252520lamp.jpg' /></p>
<p>We couldn&#8217;t help but take pictures with the ballon-like lamppost.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2tUokcKPIjI/UbVPDkWgqQI/AAAAAAAA590/7sbWVQSK0As/s0/lamp%252520balloon.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rB6YL-rGqyg/UbVPFf7LbaI/AAAAAAAA598/9QjVKsI492w/s0/hennessy%252520balloon%252520lamp%252520post.jpg' /></p>
<p>The line into the event was actually quite long but thanks to Hennessy, this time round, I went under the category of Media &#038; Blogger. So I skipped the line and went straight to the counter.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-d1HxCfuxaNg/UbVPHUI-9mI/AAAAAAAA5-E/aZ_EMiYB6ig/s0/entrance.jpg' /></p>
<p><span id="more-4954"></span></p>
<p>As we came upon the entrance into Spice Arena, Julie Woon, the emcee of tonight was busy interviewing two local acts, namely Dennis Lau and Alexis Chean.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-372y0rK5VXg/UbVPJcreJdI/AAAAAAAA5-M/GT8lMmx21QE/s0/dennis%252520alexis.jpg' /></p>
<p>The reddish lighted hallway into the arena.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-dVrAQxFrZRc/UbVPK6TUOyI/AAAAAAAA5-U/8OeanqFoWKo/s0/red%252520hallway.jpg' /></p>
<p>Once inside, I was shocked at the number of crowd. There were easily hundreds of them already there, waiting to party.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-coi36NL-rWg/UbVPMhx79zI/AAAAAAAA5-c/f_rI1NUsoTc/s0/crowd.jpg' /></p>
<p>Of all the liquor brands in Malaysia, nothing beats Hennessy&#8217;s free flow. You could see the crowd already helping themselves to glasses after glasses of cognac from the 10 bars all over the arena.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tjTUGdvOv64/UbVPOZ0EvwI/AAAAAAAA5-k/zsam-w68PZ8/s0/hennessy%252520waitress%252520%2525281%252529.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qQ1me28jEq4/UbVPQpG_H2I/AAAAAAAA5-s/OGigcS6b5FU/s0/hennessy%252520waitress%252520%2525282%252529.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rXarcPV7hIM/UbVPSjz7FgI/AAAAAAAA5-0/leRU6PpYe24/s0/hennessy%252520waitress%252520%2525283%252529.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ziZzhNgsVnE/UbVPUslj52I/AAAAAAAA5-8/to4S8Oe1RNI/s0/hennessy%252520waitress%252520%2525284%252529.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-wDTAY1m44Fg/UbVPWqsN9pI/AAAAAAAA5_E/q-xArujUI-Q/s0/hennessy%252520waitress%252520%2525285%252529.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_98umBe3UPs/UbVPZPRDi0I/AAAAAAAA5_M/PyzyPS8A8OE/s0/hennessy%252520waitress.jpg' /></p>
<p>There were so many rows of glasses filled with happy juice.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-mK3KXqL8uPY/UbVPbBxTQEI/AAAAAAAA5_U/LaCbU5Iiuss/s0/row%252520of%252520glasses.jpg' /></p>
<p>The usual flavours were soda, ginger, berry, and apple.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NOgtDI9f3Io/UbVPcz3upqI/AAAAAAAA5_c/yj2w1IUnKwE/s0/soda.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-JXgzg8ZZImU/UbVPetQObtI/AAAAAAAA5_k/4AAPpEyPPXA/s0/ginger.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-uYqL6xHfoJI/UbVPghdoeZI/AAAAAAAA5_s/v0MBHwvgvQs/s0/berry.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-He6sWMWfOBU/UbVPiguklWI/AAAAAAAA5_0/9C1ocwyLAuU/s0/apple.jpg' /></p>
<p>Somewhere into the night, I asked the waitresses and according to them, the most popular was apple followed closely by ginger.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-A-UMMiOTyMU/UbVPks-OpyI/AAAAAAAA5_8/loh0e1tB5B4/s0/waitresses.jpg' /></p>
<p>Interesting enough, my first drink was a bottle of Spritzer.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-qGJOIqi_TaE/UbVPoUFPFtI/AAAAAAAA6AM/6yV0rOMCtbo/s0/spritzer%252520mineral%252520water.jpg' /></p>
<p>At the main bar in the center of the arena, there was a big screen with a deejay stand above it.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-waBHTwxSL5o/UbVPmjj1NUI/AAAAAAAA6AE/DqwdPLUZfFY/s0/hennessy%252520vsop%252520screen.jpg' /></p>
<p>At about 8.45pm, Alex A Squared, Malaysia&#8217;s very own dj, started doing his stuff.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7lrcnYXkA3g/UbVPp7m3K5I/AAAAAAAA6AU/KnIdxMdTaxg/s0/alex%252520a%252520squared.jpg' /></p>
<p>Up until 9.15, all patrons had to wait by the non-zonal white area.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-E55edOgEtDY/UbVPuHvnhxI/AAAAAAAA6Ak/kbR8Mjp9xO4/s0/floor%252520plan.jpg' /></p>
<p>Zone P is for the general public, Zone H/O is for associates of Hennessy Malaysia and Zone V/S is for artists, media and VIP. There is not much difference in the zones in terms of service but being in Zone V/S will give you direct access to 24Herbs, Andy Murphy and Nicole Chen.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-IGSLT63ydzM/UbVPsuchEeI/AAAAAAAA6Ac/s6fm__n5-Pw/s0/floor%252520layout.jpg' /></p>
<p>I loved this year&#8217;s Hennessy Artistry experience because I was put in Zone V/S.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-eaeBqTEHkHE/UbVPwGI20xI/AAAAAAAA6As/aMI4K-VuEUM/s0/s%252520wristband.jpg' /></p>
<p>And because of this piece of tag hanging down my shoulders, I had direct access to any and every zone there is. Woo hooooOOOoo!</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TTQyjs4YAJE/UbVPxt_ncEI/AAAAAAAA6A0/9dHPfOC9t08/s0/media%252520photographer%252520tag.jpg' /></p>
<p>As it was still 5 minutes to 9pm, the zones were still off limits to the public. I used the privilege to snap as many pictures as possible of the zones before the ensuing chaos.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ix5KEFkT_7U/UbVPzuaA0sI/AAAAAAAA6A8/CNLK8omFvJI/s0/watch.jpg' /></p>
<p>First up, Zone V/S.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-uEGB3ZkCBNc/UbVP1CMUW7I/AAAAAAAA6BE/JivmJzYbouY/s0/vs.jpg' /></p>
<p>I noticed that there were 2 bars at each end, enough to keep up with the demands of the night.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-CicckbTF87k/UbVP3N6spCI/AAAAAAAA6BM/-ErzWXdWzA4/s0/bars.jpg' /></p>
<p>Found a few tables with the media sign.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--4y8z9yX6VE/UbVP5JqhdRI/AAAAAAAA6BU/Dsh6Hpe4ZGQ/s0/media.jpg' /></p>
<p>Zone H/O also had 2 bars serving.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-F9tTBGUsOzg/UbVP7AATVeI/AAAAAAAA6Bc/tE55My8yN1s/s0/ho.jpg' /></p>
<p>Although Zone P had only 1 bar serving, it was a big, long one.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-g1XD1YD3730/UbVP9EqpctI/AAAAAAAA6Bk/tfOnbfjSsKQ/s0/p.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-oenUgqj8b4s/UbVP-7r1z7I/AAAAAAAA6Bs/uNtixgqXWCk/s0/big%252520bar.jpg' /></p>
<p>The empty tables and chairs that will fill up in a matter of seconds at 9.15pm.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-lp2ePxt2ndc/UbVQAiDZZ4I/AAAAAAAA6B0/enLyjJI2FfQ/s0/tables%252520chairs.jpg' /></p>

<p>1 second later.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-mXP8th8lI3k/UbVQEh3w8eI/AAAAAAAA6CE/BnOPiNkRlrM/s0/crowded.jpg' /></p>
<p>At 9.40pm, a countdown timer appeared on the huge LED screen on stage.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-84yvnpdk0BE/UbVQG-2xnGI/AAAAAAAA6CM/AzZ34OJP9lc/s0/countdown.jpg' /></p>
<p>The face of the crowd at that moment.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PrltV8SnFAo/UbVQIw0CrGI/AAAAAAAA6CU/EPCrtu58Dc0/s0/crowd%252520waiting.jpg' /></p>
<p>The deejay of 24Herbs started spinning.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-2S7SziVwmpo/UbVQK9y0rYI/AAAAAAAA6Cc/iAG8Kr3eNqE/s0/deejay%252520stage.jpg' /></p>
<p>Those in Zone V/S could see 24Herbs by the side, waiting for the cue to go on stage.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kWxAIC-viMc/UbVQMtzXJ0I/AAAAAAAA6Ck/kf-JHetr5VE/s0/24herbs%252520about%252520to%252520go%252520on%252520stage.jpg' /></p>
<p>This is how it happened.</p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0ZyYQo0NkeY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>It was really like being in a concert, except this one didn&#8217;t require any ticket purchase.</p>

<p>At about 9.20pm, my newfound favourite emcee, Julie Woon, came on stage to smoothen the transition from 24Herbs to Andy Murphy by keeping the crowd entertained.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IgJzK-M9po8/UbVQlD1FRbI/AAAAAAAA6EM/b2x-KWGCumA/s0/julie%252520woon%252520hennessy%252520artistry.jpg' /></p>

<p>5 minutes later, Dennis Lau came on stage with his solo violin performance.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fVk-SSKcsmM/UbVQqxLUB_I/AAAAAAAA6Ek/LkA-XayNnLE/s0/dennis%252520lau.jpg' /></p>
<p>And then came Alexis Chean with Andy Murphy behind.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-AEUtfJXkQTE/UbVQsJmOs0I/AAAAAAAA6Es/Iyv8E9vryoM/s0/alexis%252520chean%252520dennis%252520lau.jpg' /></p>
<p>At about 10.28pm, Andy Murphy took on the party himself.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-HafaXqSWng8/UbVQuLwnqsI/AAAAAAAA6E0/iNPNibl0uqI/s0/andy%252520murphy%252520%2525281%252529.jpg' /></p>
<p>1 minute later, the Malaysian heat got to him and he took off his blazer.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Pst2y_LDKR8/UbVQwYs-UEI/AAAAAAAA6E8/5xcfth7M5gg/s0/andy%252520murphy%252520%2525282%252529.jpg' /></p>
<p>Haha. Hot leh&#8230;.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gX2uigQRT8Q/UbVQymTSVEI/AAAAAAAA6FE/4cTG2CtyaT8/s0/andy%252520murphy%252520hand%252520up.jpg' /></p>
<p>I think Andy himself was surprised to see 4 girls dancing on stage to his selection of songs.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Yw9AKkw-Grw/UbVQ0yXFAgI/AAAAAAAA6FM/RUgoZ0tyotU/s0/dancing%252520girls.jpg' /></p>
<p>At 10.40pm, a toy helicopter was seen flying over the crowd in Spice Arena.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-wqhcmG4Hk_U/UbVQ2wgQmRI/AAAAAAAA6FU/B-VYzCiHqvc/s0/girls%252520dancing.jpg' /></p>

<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-BoZRl4lSCP0/UbVQ6YsyJwI/AAAAAAAA6Fk/_K9ovEdtDt4/s0/toy%252520helicopter.jpg' /></p>
<p>I searched around and managed to find the driver behind it.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-WTkdSBF-xxE/UbVQ8BcfRZI/AAAAAAAA6Fs/FwAfseu3G0k/s0/controller.jpg' /></p>
<p>Vivian&#8217;s highlight of the night were her pictures with these 2 members of 24Herbs and</p>

<p>Andy Murphy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is how the entrance to Sarkies, right after coming down from Easter and Oriental Hotel&#8217;s multilevel car park, looks like.</p>

<p>The sign as you enter, detailing the theme for both lunch and dinner throughout the week.</p>

<p>I kid you not but E&#038;O is one of 2 hotels in Penang that gives their customers the hardest headache when it comes to food selection during buffets as you can see from the pictures above, it is just impossible for one to savour every single item that is on display. If you love drinking wine or beer, you should consider going for the weekend buffet on Friday and Saturday evenings. Both are free flow. As of writing, E&#038;O is giving away a 30% discount when you print and show the flyer below when paying. Total value for money!</p>

<p><strong>09.17 am</strong> &#8211; Although I traveled to Kuching for only 3 days, I managed to read both <a href="http://famouschris.com/kuching-jalan-padungan-cat-statue-tune-hotels-sin-min-joo-kolok-mee-song-kheng-hai-matterhorn-guinness/" target="_blank">March</a> and April&#8217;s issue of Travel 3Sixty. That&#8217;s because my departure date fell on the 31st of March whereas my return date was on 2nd April.</p>

<p><strong>10.21 am</strong> &#8211; Gave tandoori chicken wrap a try.</p>

<p>Hmmm&#8230; I must say I still like <a href="http://famouschris.com/kuching-jalan-padungan-cat-statue-tune-hotels-sin-min-joo-kolok-mee-song-kheng-hai-matterhorn-guinness/" target="_blank">tuna</a> better.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>07.42 am</strong> &#8211; Rode the motorcycle to Chong Choon Cafe for breakfast.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JP8NM6Dcbz0/UaS3YXDxWfI/AAAAAAAA5V4/BSxBk0Dh-S8/s0/chong%252520choon%252520cafe.jpg' /></p>
<p>The famous Poh Lam Sarawak laksa, totally different from what you&#8217;d get back in Penang.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-o_xu9chcocI/UaS3aW3MAFI/AAAAAAAA5WA/2uF8GCatgAA/s0/poh%252520lam%252520laksa.jpg' /></p>
<p>Ordered a glass of Kuching&#8217;s teh c special, which consist of tea, evaporated milk and gula melaka. The only thing that sets it apart from the ordinary Malaysian tea is the gula melaka.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-KuHhFkXTbAE/UaS3cA6A9fI/AAAAAAAA5WI/md3_LFvRZkg/s0/teh%252520c%252520special.jpg' /></p>
<p>The yummy Sarawak laksa.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1eBrfz6oaxs/UaS3dkFH3FI/AAAAAAAA5WQ/M0HGrxKGSUo/s0/sarawak%252520laksa.jpg' /></p>
<p>I liked how the chopsticks came wrapped with a thin serviette.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VD7Z7ClnGM0/UaS3fK6K6ZI/AAAAAAAA5WY/cIEREA1PXIY/s0/serviette%252520wrap%252520chopsticks.jpg' /></p>
<p>Saw some promotion items on the wall of the coffee shop but decided against it.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7eVyo9RxDB0/UaS3gypWwrI/AAAAAAAA5Wg/oBXuChNbyE0/s0/chong%252520choon%252520thick%252520toast.jpg' /></p>
<p><span id="more-4932"></span></p>
<p><strong>09.44 am</strong> &#8211; After breakfast, we went back to our hotel, took a poop, showered and proceeded to our destination of the day, the Botanical Research Centre of Semenggoh where the orang utans reside.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-doP3DJGRJsQ/UaS3i-rfxZI/AAAAAAAA5Wo/PII4h7Cr6RY/s0/botanical%252520research%252520center%252520semenggoh.jpg' /></p>
<p>Payed the entrance fees of RM3 per person by the gate.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vdBeuiQHOwE/UaS3lBW-B1I/AAAAAAAA5Ww/tOGbwhw9aBQ/s0/ticket%252520counter.jpg' /></p>
<p>If you came by public bus, you&#8217;re gonna have a hard time as the actual entrance to see the orang utans is pretty deep inside. Lucky for us, we had our trusty motorcycle.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8naQCBmOK_I/UaS3nL3QxVI/AAAAAAAA5W4/24qa2co3fOg/s0/rg%252520sports%252520dashboard.jpg' /></p>
<p>After 4 minutes of riding, we finally reached the actual entrance to the viewing area.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-AQmOAi-lI74/UaS3pTgPMVI/AAAAAAAA5XA/6Ciu1xgZ6mM/s0/semenggoh%252520wildlife%252520center.jpg' /></p>
<p>Names of the orang utans carved onto a wooden block by the entrance.</p>

<p>As we were making our way inwards, we caught an orang utan mother with her baby, making their way inwards from the side of the road.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BuqYWHorcIg/UaS3tSpCiqI/AAAAAAAA5XQ/3XvO78-q260/s0/mother%252520child%252520orang%252520utan%252520back.jpg' /></p>

<p>The notice right before the bridge into the feeding area.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8Ss8NXeBvU4/UaS3xP5WI8I/AAAAAAAA5Xg/j_J1Od94l5E/s0/sarawak%252520forestry%252520sign.jpg' /></p>
<p>As Vivian and I were walking ahead, we managed to have crossed the bridge before the park rangers held off tourists for the orang utans to make their way to the feeding platform.</p>

<p>Mother and child making their way up to lots of fruits, mainly bananas.</p>

<p>This fella just couldn&#8217;t sit still.</p>

<p>Vivian with the great apes, currently found only in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x7o4p1im9_w/UaS3_gBgtLI/AAAAAAAA5YY/P1TzlRjx9a8/s0/vivian%252520tan%252520orang%252520utan.jpg' /></p>
<p>Names and pictures of each ape being displayed although I doubt I&#8217;d be able to recognize even one in person.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-SfBBjR3QF0Q/UaS4BXHqzEI/AAAAAAAA5Yg/Pwda6bUMo8w/s0/orang%252520utan%252520names%252520pictures.jpg' /></p>
<p><strong>11.10 am</strong> &#8211; Made our way back into the city to eat the popular belachan bee hoon of Song Kheng Hai food court.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-18Rq5IU9n0s/UaS4DBMEs7I/AAAAAAAA5Yo/1pcYtJSR9I0/s0/padungan%252520belacan%252520bee%252520hoon%252520stall.jpg' /></p>

<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-541px_PmLj4/UaS4IXVAedI/AAAAAAAA5ZA/j8rU8_-IfXE/s0/cendol.jpg' /></p>
<p>I actually love the sugarcane juice with shredded fresh coconut meat. Simply delicious!</p>

<p><strong>11.45 am</strong> &#8211; Took a walk down to the river jetty about 5 minutes walk from Tune Hotels.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-URYOtp8LLSE/UaS4Ll0mpzI/AAAAAAAA5ZQ/ogXkAuIEHy8/s0/jetty.jpg' /></p>
<p>Lucky for us, there was already a river taxi approaching us.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZAWYWW9fclc/UaS4NCeNvRI/AAAAAAAA5ZY/i0UaHIgWHfw/s0/river%252520boat.jpg' /></p>
<p>Our destination right across the river.</p>

<p>The journey only took 2 minutes, paid him RM1 per person before disembarking.</p>

<p>The pathway leading us to one of the most popular kek lapis aka layer cake makers.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3TETSY_FcqM/UaS4XjhXFRI/AAAAAAAA5aI/BbX29PE_yAw/s0/jalan%252520brooke.jpg' /></p>
<p>Signs pointing towards Dayang Salhah&#8217;s store which was hidden somewhere at the back of a row of houses.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-MrGTBnmfeSs/UaS4ZWWqf1I/AAAAAAAA5aQ/XGMYto8_15Q/s0/dayang%252520salhah%252520sign.jpg' /></p>

<p>The place was filled with a variety of layer cakes.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M6_Jcy7k6_k/UaS4eRnFiEI/AAAAAAAA5ao/jiCWzel47nw/s0/dayang%252520salhah%252520interior.jpg' /></p>
<p>Vivian and I had a tough time deciding which to pick.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-U883zoJTulQ/UaS4gCk7FsI/AAAAAAAA5aw/2DR1k7neCBg/s0/interior%252520dayang%252520salhah.jpg' /></p>
<p>Cool thing is, everyone gets to try any of the 60 over varieties from the sample boxes.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-yCPkjqUd7uw/UaS4htKWIEI/AAAAAAAA5a4/uZr13qyeD8Y/s0/kek%252520lapis%252520samples.jpg' /></p>
<p>Their service is exceptional as there is always a person on standby to serve every group of customers that walk in through their door.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TUKExv3IzPM/UaS4jvAYy2I/AAAAAAAA5bA/BUKx8lu38ew/s0/samples%252520kek%252520lapis.jpg' /></p>
<p>Noticed someone familiar in their wall of fame.</p>

<p><strong>12.13 pm</strong> &#8211; After a long time of deciding, we finally decided on 4 different flavours, all nicely packed into a box for us to carry onboard our flight back to Penang. Real quality service from Dayang Salhah.</p>

<p><strong>03.24 pm</strong> &#8211; After an afternoon nap, we went to the famous Lau Ya Keng food court on Jalan Carpenter.</p>

<p>We also ordered kueh chap, one of my favourite high cholesterol dishes back in Penang.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pN690oUIur0/UaS46PEwPuI/AAAAAAAA5cg/JtBpe2bBVcA/s0/kueh%252520chap%252520stall.jpg' /></p>

<p>As it was a rainy day, there weren&#8217;t many customers. Wasn&#8217;t hard to find a nice cozy sofa to settle down in.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-PK6exjZEIvU/UaS5MV17ZeI/AAAAAAAA5d4/RYkJTgZ7I3w/s0/vivian%252520sofa.jpg' /></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>06.12 am</strong> &#8211; Arrived at the airport for our 7.05am direct flight from Penang to Kuching.</p>

<p>&#8220;Calling all passengers on flight AK6506 to Kuching, departure gates are now open.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9TrivEsOBEc/UZx5k7aqjUI/AAAAAAAA5Lw/cf2PkZZv-tM/s0/departure%252520times.jpg' /></p>
<p>One could see Penang airport undergoing minor expansion, major facelift on the way from security check-in to the departure gates.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-NKMQi4Iqeu8/UZx5mZZ4mxI/AAAAAAAA5L4/D1YgnCLJvJc/s0/construction%252520works%252520in%252520progress.jpg' /></p>
<p><strong>07.06 am</strong> &#8211; I was on my seat on the plane, ready to turn to page 1 of Travel 3Sixty.</p>

<p>Halfway into the 2 hours flight, I couldn&#8217;t help but become hungry.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-yZfHScdRVK4/UZx5oxckrkI/AAAAAAAA5MI/I9MpUYUSySg/s0/tortilla%252520a%252527la%252520tuna%252520menu.jpg' /></p>
<p>Had a tuna tortilla</p>

<p>with a bottle of water.</p>

<p>May not look that appetizing, but it was delicious!</p>

<p><span id="more-4902"></span></p>
<p><strong>09.06 am</strong> &#8211; Arrived at Kuching International Airport.</p>

<p>Approached the Tourist Information counter to get as much information as possible about things to do around the city.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rh-ItGVJrdM/UZx5vsrbR6I/AAAAAAAA5Mw/jWVwDXekchI/s0/kuching%252520airport%252520tourist%252520information%252520cetner.jpg' /></p>
<p>It was easy for us to get to the hotel as Tune Hotels Kuching provided transport from the airport direct to the entrance of the hotel for only RM8 per person. A typical fare for a taxi ride into town costs RM26 at the time of writing this article.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ESF4H6sxRWU/UZx5xAle-rI/AAAAAAAA5M4/N0zYqWC7sak/s0/van.jpg' /></p>
<p><strong>09.37 am</strong> &#8211; Hit the road.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-f1lRWJLqfOM/UZx5yaF1m1I/AAAAAAAA5NA/uGBthPDlYKU/s0/road.jpg' /></p>
<p>Passed by The Spring, Kuching&#8217;s latest lifestyle shopping mall.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-xotdCAdtm8s/UZx5z1QVT2I/AAAAAAAA5NI/pK8LILt9N-M/s0/the%252520spring%252520kuching.jpg' /></p>
<p>On Padungan Road, the street considered as Chinatown.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yOS37dLJ_Nk/UZx516gT7-I/AAAAAAAA5NQ/p854ckeH7YE/s0/jalan%252520padungan.jpg' /></p>
<p>Cat icons all over the city.</p>

<p><strong>09.56 am</strong> &#8211; Ladies and gentlemen, Tune Hotels Kuching. A shitty place to stay as you could hear doors making a loud bang when closing and kids run around the hallway of the bedrooms all day. My first and last time in Tune Hotels Kuching.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-OOzex1HfGME/UZx54rZrkAI/AAAAAAAA5Ng/uWjGENwL8MQ/s0/tune%252520hotels%252520kuching%252520waterfront.jpg' /></p>
<p>Motorcycles. The best way to get around the city. RM40 per 24 hours. Freedom of mobility. Any day better than wasting time waiting for a bus or paying ridiculous amounts to unscrupulous taxi drivers.</p>

<p>Sin Min Joo, Kuching&#8217;s hidden gem, for breakfast.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Sw1Shw_E-tw/UZx6AQtt5-I/AAAAAAAA5OA/Nm5JXPa9cDc/s0/sin%252520min%252520joo.jpg' /></p>
<p>The shop looks simple.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-upI3rNRrywg/UZx6BxIVUXI/AAAAAAAA5OI/P99RyCbpL4U/s0/sin%252520min%252520joo%252520stall.jpg' /></p>
<p>Tables, chairs and customers spilling out into the walkway.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Q1TU_bdW-pA/UZx6DadO-dI/AAAAAAAA5OQ/nBCEqDKswRc/s0/sin%252520min%252520joo%252520outside.jpg' /></p>

<p>My first ever kolok mee experience.</p>

<p>A bowl of pig innards.</p>

<p>There were zero empty tables so Vivian and I shared with strangers.</p>

<p>Eventually we made friends with 2 Kuchingites.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fCvslBgRs4M/UZx6OVb5EqI/AAAAAAAA5PI/PAudslOvmwQ/s0/vivian%252520tan%252520kuching%252520friends.jpg' /></p>

<p><strong>12.41 pm</strong> &#8211; Stopped by Starbucks for a glass of drink to cool down.</p>

<p>Just can&#8217;t stand the noob helmets.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4z2jBt9mpDs/UZx6YFvSaLI/AAAAAAAA5P4/nCbSDsFnNCo/s0/vivian%252520tan%252520helmets.jpg' /></p>

<p><strong>02.33 pm</strong> &#8211; Checked into Tune Hotels.</p>

<p><strong>03.50 pm</strong> &#8211; After 2 hours of rest, we began the second tour of the day.</p>

<p>10 minutes later, it started to rain. Very heavily.</p>

<p>Matterhorn, a super sweet dessert much like ais kacang.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pf4p2SlbA38/UZx7AkIiDOI/AAAAAAAA5TI/wRyrCOhZjCw/s0/matterhorn.jpg' /></p>

<p><strong>05.41 pm</strong> &#8211; When the rain was almost done, we took a ride around town in an attempt to locate the potential hang out spots.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KQ_DRdyotP0/UZx7H8h8pTI/AAAAAAAA5Tw/72g3TnUefrc/s0/soho.jpg' /></p>
<p>Spotted Kilkenny&#8217;s.</p>

<p>Visited Kuching&#8217;s Sunday market off Jalan Satok. I guess not many tourists would be attracted to come here as the emphasis is mainly on fresh produce like fruits, vegetables, meat, etc.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes la! The party of the year is back!</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-jGYBzG-486E/UZnEWxp9FWI/AAAAAAAA5HY/4xnMT5Hbvi8/s0/hennessy%252520artistry%252520crowd.jpg' /></p>
<p>After almost 1 whole year of waiting, Hennessy Artistry, the large scale super clubbing experience will open its doors again to invited patrons on Saturday, 25th of May 2013 in PISA Penang&#8217;s Spice Arena. I kid you not but Hennessy Artistry is my most anticipated clubbing event of the year. Here are 5 solid reasons why.</p>
<ol>
<h3>
<li>Free Flow Premium Hennessy V.S.O.P.</li>
</h3>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PJtZo59wmmI/UZnEXa4ArEI/AAAAAAAA5Hg/PTa3D5SscyI/s0/henessy%252520glasses.jpg' /></p>
<p>During the previous <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.455821297783166.106969.112845745414058&#038;type=3" target="_blank">Hennessy Artistry in SQCC</a>, free flow of Hennessy cognac was served from the second its doors opened at 7pm up until 3am. Moreover, VSOP and not VS, is served during the party. VSOP stands for Very Special Old Pale, meaning that the cognac is aged inside oak barrels for at least 8 years. VS cognac is only aged for at least 2 years. 6 years worth of difference in taste!</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-EL6KEd2YgZ0/UZnEXyCBR1I/AAAAAAAA5Ho/QTESy3hCjKw/s0/pouring%252520hennessy%252520vsop%252520cognac%252520brandy.jpg' /></p>
<p>A bottle of Hennessy V.S.O.P is sold for about USD35 in duty free shops in airports. Organizers of the upcoming Hennessy Artistry event in Spice Arena are expecting a crowd of 4000! If on average 5 people are expected to drink 1 bottle and if 4000 patrons really did turn up, you can expect Hennessy to have at least 800 bottles of premium Hennessy VSOP on standby.</p>
<p>800 bottles X USD 35 = USD 28,000 = MYR 85,000 = the minimum cost of drinks alone</p>
<p>I bet it will cost more than that because it is FREE FLOW! Woooooo hoooooo!<br />
(This one reason alone is enough to make me wanna go <img src='http://famouschris.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif' alt=':evil:' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<h3>
<li>Music Acts</li>
</h3>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-d3Shewx9dNM/UZnEYhU8_2I/AAAAAAAA5Hw/-tMpI1MrmqY/s0/hennessy%252520artistry%2525202013%252520penang%252520posterr.jpg' /></p>
<p>Every year, different international and local acts are invited to perform during Hennessy Artistry. This year, 24HERBS, Andy Murphy and Nicole Chen are slated to perform.</p>
<h4>24HERBS</h4>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BERJ3XET1oM/UZnOT7WKqgI/AAAAAAAA5LY/GZFkvb-tVYs/s0/542078_10151754847430548_314687768_n.jpg' /></p>
<p>24HERBS is a Hong Kong hip hop group formed in 2006 that consist of six members, 2 of whom were previously in LMF, or better known as Lazy Mutha Fucka. My LMF all time favourite single has got to be <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNbAuVGnsMQ" target="_blank">this</a>.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zuQ14yZzqe4/UZnEa2VOY2I/AAAAAAAA5IA/iWlaf9rz62I/s0/lan%252520kwai%252520fong%252520poster.jpg' /></p>
<p>Asian youth, those of Chinese descent and especially boys, will definitely have heard of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxocmAWsvbc" target="_blank">Lan Kwai Fong</a>, a movie released in 2011 that is about the party central in Hong Kong of the same name. The movie in terms of storyline quality is rubbish. Acting is mediocre.</p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JxocmAWsvbc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>However, the party, sex and drama theme appeals to the younger generation(including me <img src='http://famouschris.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif' alt=':twisted:' class='wp-smiley' />  ). After watching the movie, it made me want to go to Hong Kong SO DAMN MUCH!</p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/s2HVLc35nT8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>To top it off, 24HERBS&#8217; Wonderland was used as the theme song for the movie. Every time I hear Wonderland, I think of clubbing at Lan Kwai Fong. Thanks for poisoning my head, 24HERBS! Looking forward to seeing you guys perform!</p>
<h4>Andy Murphy</h4>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7uxpy9Oa678/UZnEbZmzm4I/AAAAAAAA5II/96ZWST7dZXQ/s0/andy%252520murphy.jpg' /></p>
<p>Andy Murphy, the Australian Eletro House DJ from Melbourne, will be playing at Hennessy Artistry in Spice Arena. Looking relatively attractive, I bet girls are gonna enjoy him during his set. Moreover, his songs are pretty good. Below are 12 excellent examples of his sound mastery.</p>
<p><iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F1875686"></iframe></p>
<h4>Nicole Chen</h4>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-VcPhU9fE3Z8/UZnEb8zs4XI/AAAAAAAA5IQ/ecUr-qMgqdg/s0/nicole%252520chen.jpg' /></p>
<p>Hi Nicole Chen! I really hope you will read this. Tee hee <img src='http://famouschris.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif' alt=':oops:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<ul>
	<strong>
<li>I fucking love your song selections.</li>
<p></strong></p>
<p><iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F92583730"></iframe></p>
<p>You have really good taste in music. Really good blend of the latest dirty dutch tracks and several awesome underrated tunes. I think you will be playing for 1 hour during Hennessy Artistry right? Also, if I&#8217;m correct, you&#8217;ve already readied your track list for 25th May, 7 days before the event (as evident above). I am so looking forward to hearing the songs being played during Hennessy Artistry!</p>
<p>	<strong>
<li>How in the world can you see properly?</li>
<p></strong></p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bzi0-HNeREA/UZnEdDHuq2I/AAAAAAAA5IY/zJW_Oi9eMpM/s0/Nicole%252520Chen%252520pose.jpg' /></p>
<p>When the organizers sent me this picture of you with your hair sprayed across your face and your body bent like that, I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh.</p>
<p>What normal deejays see.</p>

<p>However, I must say I find this particular picture below from your <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.493645400644.298320.8992670644&#038;type=1" target="_blank">Facebook profile</a> to be the funniest.</p>

<p>I have my fair share of clubbing experience but I have never seen soooOOOOooooo many hot, sexy, elegant and attractive ladies under one roof as evident during <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.455821297783166.106969.112845745414058&#038;type=3" target="_blank">Henessy Artistry 2012</a>. Even my girl friends agreed and wondered where the hell did these girls come from? Maaaann! We never knew Penang had so many amazing beauties! If I were the organizer, I&#8217;d assign a qualified photographer going all over the place during the party taking photos of ALL the hottest girls in action, further increasing the appeal of the event for the future.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-YKxtnKh2zR4/UZnEsL6yPrI/AAAAAAAA5Ko/qI0fYadWH6A/s0/hennessy%252520artistry%252520ambassadors.jpg' /></p>
<p>Of course, another worthy highlight of the Hennessy Artistry event is the 50 brand ambassadors who will be serving the crowd as bartenders, registrars, waitresses, etc. I am so looking forward to getting served! <img src='http://famouschris.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif' alt=':twisted:' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<h3>
<li>Taxi</li>
</h3>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-V4a4b4V-CI0/UZnEtRkL5MI/AAAAAAAA5Kw/eSBtEO9nBPM/s0/night%252520taxi.jpg' /></p>
<p>The organizers have also arranged for 1000 taxis to be on standby to fetch patrons back to their homes. That&#8217;s what I call doing it right! To secure the taxi service beforehand, call 012-469 9723 to make your reservations at least 24 hours before the event. </p>
<h3>
<li>Fun</li>
</h3>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-AjRGsdtIvOc/UZnEuSWzsyI/AAAAAAAA5K4/MNK8jSxhs50/s0/hennessy%252520friends%252520happy%252520fun.jpg' /></p>
<p>So after all the above, can you imagine the fun you&#8217;re going to have at Hennessy Artistry 2013? Being surrounded by people dressed to kill, drinking unlimited top notch cognac and being moved by brilliant music choices. Personally, I&#8217;m looking forward to a night of fun with friends which includes conversation, dance moves and TONS of photos!</p>
<ul>
On a more serious note, here are 2 ways one can obtain invites to the event.</p>
<p>	<strong>
<li>Invites by buying bottles :</li>
<p></strong></p>
<p>Wednesday 22/5 &#8211; SOHO Gastropub or Nueve between 7pm to 10pm.<br />
Thursday 23/5 &#8211; SOHO Gastropub or Nueve between 7pm to 10pm.<br />
Friday 24/5 &#8211; SOHO Gastropub, Nueve, Cuvee, M2, Soju Room or Room Autocity between 11pm to 2am.</p>
<p>1 x Hennessy VSOP 750ml = 2 invites.<br />
2 x Heneessy VSOP 750ml = 5 invites.</p>
<p>3 x Hennessy VSOP 750ml = 5 VIP invites. (While stocks last)<br />
1 x Hennessy VSOP 1.5L = 8 VIP invites. (While stocks last)<br />
1 x Hennessy VSOP 3L = 15 VIP invits. (While stocks last)</p>
<p>Remember, invites can only be obtained from H-Artistry Ambassadors stationed around the area during the times mentioned above. I&#8217;m not so sure about the price of one 1.5L bottle but one 750ml bottle of Hennessy VSOP costs RM350.</p>
<p>	<strong>
<li>Invites by winning contests :</li>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have always liked brandy. Anything from Hennessy to Remy Martin to Martell. More often than not, when I&#8217;m out partying with friends, the choice is usually Hennessy. The thing that makes Hennessy stand out among the others are the parties thrown, especially Hennessy Artistry. Kardinal Offishal, Yolanda Be Cool, Chris Willis, Goldfish and Blink are among the big names who performed for Hennessy Malaysia before.</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://www.millymin.com/" target="_blank">Emily</a> and <a href="http://www.crizlai.com/" target="_blank">Criz</a>, I obtained the opportunity to attend Hennessy&#8217;s VSOP Kyrios Launch Party at Room Autocity. You see, Hennessy has this line of limited-edition-specially-designed-annually line of bottles called the Hennessy VSOP Privilege Collection. The first ever product from the line was the Helios which launched in 2011. The name originated from Greek mythology, Helios being the name of the sun, much like the flashy visuals of the bottle design.</p>

<p>Then in 2012, Hennessy introduced Nyx, meaning goddess of nights &#038; dreams. The bottle was designed with ultraviolet materials, therefore it glows in the dark.</p>

<p>Come 2013, the Kyrios was born. Its body is presented in a matte carbon gray mantle and gives an elegant aura. The &#8220;bras arme&#8221; reflects the long history of Hennessy and has been part of the Hennessy seal for more than 2 centuries. For now, these bottles may be worth nuts but in 10, maybe 20 years&#8217; time, one may be able to make money off of it!</p>

<p>So on the 29th of March, I drove all the way from Penang island to Room Autocity, Juru. Although the supposed meeting time was at 8.30pm, I only made it at 9pm as it was a Good Friday. I think the jam on the bridge was caused by islanders heading to St Anne&#8217;s church in Bukit Mertajam. I kid you not but the crowd at 9.18pm was practically non existent. Not a guest was seen standing around outside Room&#8217;s entrance.</p>

<p>However, there were the Hennessy girls standing around. If I&#8217;m not wrong, there were a total of 10. Good job to whoever that selected them. In any case, I think a better job was done during <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.455821297783166.106969.112845745414058&#038;type=3" target="_blank">Hennessy Artistry 2012 in SQCC</a>, Penang as there were so much more of of them.</p>

<p>The selected 3 who had the top parts of their body painted.</p>

<p>As I entered, a waterproof wristband was slapped on my wrist, ensuring that I&#8217;d be able to get back in smoothly if I were to leave the premise.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4OaLsahcuAo/UWYloWKjTSI/AAAAAAAA4Zg/t6iOLT0HfMs/s0/hennessy%252520kyrios%252520wristband.jpg' /></p>
<p>Each person was given a coupon upon entering.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-boDW2sVZMFE/UWYlpXIVE1I/AAAAAAAA4Zo/sSGKfdIuytE/s0/hennessy%252520kyrios%252520coupon.jpg' /></p>
<p>The walls of the walkway between the hall and restroom were decorated with several Hennessy VSOP Kyrios bottles, each with their own rotating stand.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-0-UAq9R5Czc/UWYlqYJFhFI/AAAAAAAA4Zw/zMkYqC4OA9o/s0/hennessy%252520kyrios%252520wall.jpg' /></p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZF6t9hRvGeo/UWYlq-b100I/AAAAAAAA4Z4/oRII-pl9DF8/s0/hennessy%252520vsop%252520kyrios%252520bottle.jpg' /></p>
<p>At 9.30pm, we were the first and only group of guests. It felt disappointing at first for during Hennessy Artistry 2012, there was already a huge crowd waiting outside of the hall by 8.30pm.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-p6a_GOCLrfo/UWYlr79T62I/AAAAAAAA4aA/O9NDsFGqnOk/s0/room%252520autocity%252520hennessy%252520kyrios%252520launch.jpg' /></p>
<p>The cool thing was, we had our own table. This was my first time ever attending an event as part of the media.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-HnW2oMqbfn8/UWYlswzI58I/AAAAAAAA4aI/8Nnffu8OZyY/s0/hennessy%252520kyrios%252520bloggers%252520sign.jpg' /></p>
<p>By the bar, one could find Hennessy pre-mixed with 4 different kind of flavours.</p>
<p>Apple.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RmZ7ma5AOIo/UWYluC49I6I/AAAAAAAA4aQ/QcD1tuqDVhU/s0/hennessy%252520apple.jpg' /></p>
<p>Berry.</p>

<p>Ginger.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Dw03Lwqfzg8/UWYlwIRZVPI/AAAAAAAA4ag/5IvqPrnHTLg/s0/hennessy%252520ginger.jpg' /></p>
<p>Soda.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-i7ES2h_gs3w/UWYlxYkn_xI/AAAAAAAA4ao/b3brJpDq_U0/s0/hennessy%252520soda.jpg' /></p>
<p>The crowd grew merrier as the night progressed.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-tL7zlMhtrDc/UWYlygxIdSI/AAAAAAAA4aw/Qh9-W0VRc2s/s0/room%252520autocity%252520crowd.jpg' /></p>
<p>B.A.T.E. started their set first.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-c9ao64ExmtM/UWYlzebvN3I/AAAAAAAA4a4/mFN-5O-lrcw/s0/bate.jpg' /></p>
<p>DJ Cookie from Luxy (one of the 2 nightclubs I enjoyed myself in when I was in <a href="http://famouschris.com/6d5n-taipei-day-3-jsp-danshui-fisherman-wharf-lover-bridge-xxl-chicken-tai-dan-lu-rou-fan-luxy/" target="_blank">Taipei</a>) came on next.</p>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QWcc97Do1d8/UWYl0Ae-gEI/AAAAAAAA4bA/0G7gzHkuk6I/s0/DJ%252520Cookie.jpg' /></p>
<p>The group of bloggers that attended the event was pretty big. Met lots of personalities. There were some who were shy, others were party animals, a few hardcore drinkers, and then there are the shutterbugs who won&#8217;t stop taking photos. Again, a million thanks to <a href="http://www.millymin.com/" target="_blank">Emily</a> the zebra and <a href="http://www.crizlai.com/" target="_blank">Criz</a> for making it happen!</p>

The <a href="http://2013.blogfest.info/" target="_blank">ASEAN blogger festival</a> is happening in Solo from 9-12 May 2013 and I&#8217;ve been personally invited. Yay! I look forward most to these 3 things from the event.</p>
<h3>
<li>Learn</li>
</h3>
<p><img src='http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-T7qWjG79vt8/UV_Pa9UeQeI/AAAAAAAA4YQ/naYWdm4FgBY/s0/learn.jpg' /></p>
<p>To absorb everything there is on offer during the blog festival. During the break out sessions on <a href="http://2013.blogfest.info/day-2/" target="_blank">Day 2</a>, I am sure to be in Barra&#8217;s room for the first session and Gael&#8217;s room for the second one.</p>
<h3>
<li>Socialize</li>
</h3>
<p><img src='http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4GtZgTDiF9E/UV_Pa7lHiBI/AAAAAAAA4YQ/Crk107l7kLQ/s0/socialize.jpg' /></p>
<p>To make new friends and catch up with the old ones. What more can you expect from a conference of such magnitude where more than 200 international and local participants are gathered together?</p>
<h3>
<li>Experience Solo</li>
</h3>
<p><img src='http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5eBeHSdJI4Y/UV_PbGN_HQI/AAAAAAAA4YQ/aWjgnuZ54j4/s0/solo%252520surakarta.jpg' /></p>
<p>There are only 3 places in Indonesia that I&#8217;ve really, truly experienced before in my life. Beautiful Bali, Bandung aka Paris van Java, and historical Yogyakarta. Now, thanks to the organizing ASEAN Blogger Festival 2013, I get the chance to experience all that Solo has to offer like the Sukuh Temple, Sangiran Early Man Site, Mangkunegaran Palace and maybe Pasar Triwindu if time permits.
