Hennessy V.S.O.P. New Bottle Design Launch and Experience Party!

2012-05-20T18:10:00.000+08:00

Began on 7 October 1817, the Legend of Hennessy V.S.O.P. shaped over time. On last Friday night (18.05.2012), Hennessy V.S.O.P just unveiled its brand new bottle design during the New Pack Launch happened at Double Tree by Hilton Hotel!

Double Tree by Hilton Hotel, Level 10.

After an initial modernisation of the bottle in 1989, V.S.O.P. is moving resolutely into the 21st century. The new bottle is specially designed by the ex-chief designer of BMW cars, Chris Bangle, a legendary figure in the automobile world who has redesigned its contours to bring its sleek silhouette firmly into the future.

And we are proud to say that this new Hennessy V.S.O.P. bottle design is actually his first project outside the car industry! *clap clap*

Meeting Chris Bangle up-close!

"Designing for Hennessy gave me the same sensations as working on designs for fast BMWs or a great Rolls Royce. It is that experience of a unique emotion," said Chris Bangle.

Glenmorangie's SOUNDFORM Fluid Showcase and After-party!

2012-04-30T19:04:00.000+08:00

The pursuit of perfection can be a trifle inconvenient when one goes to unnecessary lengths for the sake of true distinction! Resonating perfection as such is the SOUNDFORM Fluid – a stunning, sculptural bar that brings to life the ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’ philosophy advocated by Glenmorangie.

Officially unveiled on 21st of April (Saturday) at The Gardens in Mid Valley, the SOUNDFORM Fluid bar was designed by renowned architect and interior designer Philip Michael Wolfson for Glenmorangie, and it was inspired by the sonograph reading of the sound of Glenmorangie whisky being poured into a crystal glass.

Statuesquely taking the centre stage at the North Atrium of The Gardens Mall, the SOUNDFORM Fluid is an evocative sight. Its bold jagged edges are covered in a black aluminium finish on the exterior, while the golden orange interior, which mimics the colour of Glenmorangie, is lit up to create an aesthetic, visual counter balance.

Complementing the stunning display was commentary by Glenmorangie Malaysia’s Brand Manager, Michael Tan, who explained the concept that sparked the creation of the ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’ SOUNDFORM Fluid bar.

“The SOUNDFORM Fluid is an awe-inspiring representation of the brand’s philosophy on ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’. It is a creative showcase and extension of the philosophy behind Glenmorangie’s deliciously complex single malt whisky brought into being.”

On working with Philip Michael Wolfson:

“Philip Michael Wolfson has always brought on a tremendous complexity to his work that pushes the boundaries of design. His design philosophy exactly mirrors our philosophy with the birthing of a standout custom made bar showpiece created through the distillation of the sound of a pour of Glenmorangie. From the outset, while the bar may look like a twisted form of metal; but it is truly the meticulous attention to detail and the spirit of innovation that has went into the formulation of the final showpiece that serves as a perfect tribute to the whiskey that birthed it,” Tan added.

Glenmorangie single malt whisky obtains its multi-layered aromas and kaleidoscopic flavours through maturation in fine oak casks, obtained from the Ozark Mountains. While there are many perfectly good single malt whiskies matured in casks that are re-used up to eight times, Glenmorangie goes the extra mile for that added elegance in its whisky by only ever using their casks twice. At its Tain distillery in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie employs the tallest whisky stills in Scotland, ensuring only the purest vapours are used in the spirit.

“It is the superiority of the ingredients: local spring water from its own Tarlogie spring and locally grown Scottish barley, combined with the skill of the craftsmen who follow the same time honoured approach that the company has used throughout its long history, results in Glenmorangie’s smooth spirit of distinction,” explained Glenmorangie Ambassador Ben Ng, who conducted an informal whisky tasting session for those who were curious to unravel the complexity of the Glenmorangie range throughout the SOUNDFORM Fluid Showcase at The Gardens.

The showcase saw celebrities and single malt aficionados enjoy a night of appreciation as they savoured the ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’. After which, the crowd adjourned to Vertigo for the after-party featuring US DJ duo Manufactured Superstars, who supplied a steady flow of house, dance and electro pop into the night.

Tiger Asian Music Festival 2012 Just Hit Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon With A Bang!

2012-04-22T16:33:00.000+08:00

One of the most anticipated musical events of 2012, Tiger Asian Music Festival just hit Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon with a bang last Saturday!!!

40,000-strong crowd thronged Tiger Asian Music Festival at Sunway Surf Beach!

More than 40,000 party goers jam-packed the surf beach on that day, many of whom had managed to secure exclusive invites from Tiger’s website, Facebook page, as well as nationwide promotion at Tiger outlets. Due to overwhelming demands, Tiger had also given out additional 1,000 exclusive passes on 12 April, and all were snapped up in less than 2 hours!

Excited party-goers cheering loudly to their favourite artists of the night!

Throughout the whole night, the large crowd of 40,000 were kept entertained with 5 hours of the best urban music that Asia has to offer, thanks to Paul Wong and Ka Keung, LMF, Jam Hsiao, A-Lin, A-Yue, MC Hotdog and ManHand!

A group of friends cheering enthusiastically with Tiger beer to the most anticipated music festival of the year!

“True to Tiger’s winning moments, Tiger Asian Music Festival 2012 saw the gathering of truthful, progressive and inspirational urban artists and party-goers. Tiger is synonymous with delivering exceptional consumer experiential activities and we are proud to have pushed the bar higher by having brought to life the most progressive sounds of Asia with our Street celebration on the Beach,” said Sean Koh, Marketing Manager of Tiger.

Complementing the exuberant atmosphere with Tiger beer in hands

The edgy, winning atmosphere was complimented perfectly with ice-cold Tiger Beer, which was on offer throughout the evening at special prices, and complimentary drinking water was available to all, ensuring that everyone was well hydrated.

The girls are ready to rock the party!

Swei Ang, one of the exclusive invite winners and an Asian music aficionado, said “For me, the Tiger Asian Music Festival is the festival when it comes to Asian music. Nowhere else in Malaysia showcases this amount of talented Asian music artists in one place, and seeing the exceptional collaborations was the highlight of the evening for me.”

As the sun started to set on surf beach, the crowd were brought to life with the opening act from Ka Keung who was swiftly joined by the legendary Paul Wong.

The crowd at Tiger AMF was captivated by the stunning display of fireworks!

Glenmorangie, Single Malt Scotch Whisky!

2012-04-19T02:54:00.001+08:00

As I mentioned earlier in my previous post, there's a Glenmorangie’s SOUNDFORM Fluid bar showcase happening in between 11 April to 1 May 2012 in the North Atrium of The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley City. Have you drop by and catch the SOUNDFORM Fluid yet? If you haven't, no worries...you still got time! haha. I'm sure some people already heard about Glenmorangie but some don't. For those who still have no idea what's that all about, let me tell you briefly about it. :)

If you are a "fan" of Single Malt Whisky, then probably Glenmorangie can be one of your favourite "idol"! ;) Why I say so? It is because Glenmorangie is arguably the most delicious and complex single malt whisky in the world. Its multi-layered aromas and kaleidoscopic flavours stimulate the senses and entice the palate.

The Glenmorangie Original – Backbone of the Glenmorangie Range

As purveyors of perfection in single malt whisky, Glenmorangie takes pride in going to great lengths to ensure the quality of Glenmorangie whisky; to ascertain that Glenmorangie whisky is “Unnecessarily Well Made”!

Wondering how “Unnecessarily Well Made” is Glenmorangie? Well, single malt whisky obtains its flavour from the wooden casks used in maturation.

Glenmorangie casks are only ever used twice to ensure the optimal amount of flavour is extracted into the whisky.

Many of Glenmorangie’s bespoke casks are made from white oaks grown on the Ozark Mountains in Missouri, USA. They are grown slowly over 100 years and seasoned naturally in the open air for two years to preserve their porous texture – a quality that adds to the spirit’s intriguing depth.

Stills in the Glenmorangie Distillery stand as tall as a fully grown giraffe

While there are many perfectly good single malt whiskies made in shorter stills, the Glenmorangie Distillery utilizes swan-necked stills that are the TALLEST in Scotland!

Glenmorangie stills stand at a dizzying sixteen feet, ten and one quarter inches (5.14m) high. This height means that only the lightest and purest vapours are able to ascend to the top and condense into spirit, contributing to Glenmorangie’s distinctive complexity and layered flavour.

The Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, Scotland

The superiority of the ingredients – local spring water from its own Tarlogie spring and locally grown Scottish barley, combined with the skill of the craftsmen who follow the same, time honoured approach that the company has used throughout its long history, result in a smooth spirit of distinction.

So, what you think about Glenmorangie Single Malt Whisky? To take a closer look of this striking yet sculpturally functional illustration of Glenmorangie’s ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’ concept, you can always head to the North Atrium of The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley City for Glenmorangie’s SOUNDFORM Fluid bar showcase happening from now until 1st of May 2012!

Be sure not to miss the opportunity to familiarize with all things ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’! I hope you do find it interesting and meaningful! :)

A Night Of Perfect Orange Retro Funk by Glenmorangie!

2012-04-08T16:55:00.000+08:00

Orange Retro Funk Night by Glenmorangie at The Pool, Jalang Ampang

If “funk” could be associated with a color, it would definitely be a bright shade of tangerine as Glenmorangie took an inspired leap from the “orange” in its name to color The Hill’s second outlet, The Pool, in an arresting shade of citrus! Taking the purveyor of single malt whisky out of gentlemen’s clubs and onto the glass countertops of The Pool, Glenmorangie turned up the retro-funk vibes at Kuala Lumpur’s newest nightspot along Jalan Ampang at its very first Orange Night party on last Friday!

The gorgeous Glenmorangie ambassadors!

Do you know what is Glenmorangie?

Glenmorangie is, quite simply, the most delicious and complex single malt whisky in the world. Its multi-layered aromas and kaleidoscopic flavours stimulate the senses and entice the palate. This beautifully seductive spirit originates in the heart of the Scottish Highlands where, at the Glenmorangie distillery, it is first captured by elegant, swan necked stills that are the tallest in Scotland, and then expertly matured in the finest oak casks. Undeniably the most complex and perfectly balanced single malt, every sip of Glenmorangie offers a heady and alluring experience in taste, texture and aroma~

To add extra festive atmosphere, female models were “dressed” in retro-inspired body paint and lots of guests had a lively time getting their photos snapped with them!

Stand up comedian Kuah Jenhan bagged the Best Dressed Award with his orange ensemble, while emcee Will Quah and actor Gary Wong were spotted filling their glasses from the Glenmorangie Zest Serve, a sculptural serving stand which creates an infusion of orange zest with Glenmorangie whisky.

Moving from retro funk to the future, Glenmorangie ambassadors unveiled the brand new Glenmorangie Facebook page on their iPads. Single malt lovers and fans of arguably the most delicious and complex single malt whisky in the world can now access the page at www.fb.com/GlenmorangieMalaysia to receive exclusive updates, events and promotions by Glenmorangie. Further to this, guests also entertained themselves with the Glenmorangie “Spin The Bottle” App on the iPads.

As the Glenmorangie Zest Serve further revealed Glenmorangie single malt scotch whisky’s layers of flavour, guests were kept on their feet by the groovy mix of Daikanyama’s resident DJ and the backbeat of Deer Society – Alex Asquared.

The Glenmorangie Zest Serve

With a steady flow of house and indie dance laced with a dash of 80’s synth from the decks, the Glenmorangie ‘Orange Night’ was a tasteful mix of the refined, hedonistic enjoyment of single malt whisky balanced with a healthy serving of witty retro funk, which proved to be infectious all night long!

For those giving the Glenmorangie Orange Night a miss, look out for another not to be missed opportunity to familiarize with all things ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’!
Come in between 11 April to 1 May 2012 as Glenmorangie’s SOUNDFORM Fluid bar will be showcased in the North Atrium of The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley City. Whether you are a single malt aficionado, a fan of contemporary design, or just plain curious, be sure to head to The Gardens to catch the SOUNDFORM Fluid, which is a striking yet sculpturally functional illustration of Glenmorangie’s ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’ concept!

Off To A Refreshingly Different Experience, Thanks To TIGER CRYSTAL!

2012-03-04T16:59:00.000+08:00

From my previous post regarding the “Refreshingly Different” Facebook photo contest, the lucky winner of the grand prize of all-expense-paid trip for two at Sweden’s iconic ICEHOTEL goes to one of the online boutique owner!!! *envy max!!!*

Being a loyal fan of Tiger beer, Nicole Wong did not even think twice when she decided to participate in the Tiger Crystal “Refreshingly Different” Facebook photo contest. Clearly the favourite among the rest, the photo she uploaded on the Tiger Beer Facebook page generated the most votes which eventually led her to winning the coveted grand prize to stay at the world-renowned ICEHOTEL in Sweden!

Recommended by author Patricia Schultz as one of the 1000 Places to See Before You Die, ICEHOTEL, situated in the small village of Jukkasjärvi in Sweden, is the world’s first ice hotel ever built. The largest ice hotel in the world, it is made entirely out of 10,000 tons of ice and 30,000 tons of pure snow harvested from the picturesque Torne River.

Standing firm from only December to April each year, it goes through a rebuilding process from scratch each year. Each room is uniquely designed and the hotel offers amazing art, nature, accommodation and gastronomy experiences for the guests, totally different from what they have experienced in ordinary hotels.

Similar to the exclusive ICEHOTEL, Tiger Crystal is a limited edition celebration brew which is only available during the festive season, it is packaged in an appealing crystal clear bottle which has a distinctively refreshing crisp yet full-bodied flavoured characteristics; a definite choice for consumers who are looking forward to try something different than the usual beers.

Sean Koh, Marketing Manager of Tiger said, “We take consumer experiential very seriously and understanding that consumers are looking for something more refreshing and lighter on the palate during the festive season, we’ve brought in Tiger Crystal for the celebration of good moments.”

“And just like the refreshingly different experience that only a Tiger Crystal can deliver, we are proud to offer our drinkers an out of the ordinary experience through this ICEHOTEL consumer contest which has never been done by other brands in Malaysia,” added Sean.

Nicole Wong, was unable to contain her excitement when informed by Tiger Malaysia of her winning. “I thought I’d participate in the contest for fun, but never expected to win. I’ve never met anyone who has been to the ICEHOTEL, so I’m really excited to be first one amongst my friends to visit this iconic place. I am really looking forward to staying in the ice room and seeing the Northern Lights!”

“I’m already a fan of Tiger before this contest, but now, I’m a fan for life – thank you Tiger for giving me this experience of a lifetime!” she enthused.

Langkawi Homestay Rentals

2012-02-29T23:36:00.000+08:00

Have you ever heard or seen any advertisement about a website called iBilik.com, formerly known as CariBilik? It is basically a Malaysian travel website which enables us to look for many choices of rooms available for rent all across Malaysia conveniently.

Last time I still remember when I was planning my Langkawi trip with friends, we had some difficulties in finding better and preferable place to stay in Langkawi. Now with this website, I found out that it's indeed very convenient to locate suitable Langkawi homestay. With just a click to the 'Short Term Rental' and search for Langkawi, a list of available Langkawi homestay including apartments, villa, Bungalow, guest houses will appear with pictures and detailed description as well.

Below the description, there is even a map/direction showing the location of the desired homestay with full address. So, you no need to worry about getting lost while heading to the destination.

There is another feature that I like the most, which is the calendar showing unit/rooms availability status. With this feature, we are able to check whether the particular day/date is available for rent without the needs to call to the receptionist or go there personally to ask for info. We can check the availability status from time to time to avoid disappointment when do the booking. :) It becomes so convenient that we can even directly plan the duration of stay according to the calendar and do the booking on the spot! If you are wondering about the pricing, afraid not as you can always check the daily/weekly rates from time to time according to the amount of guests and type of rental.

If you are looking for places to stay for holidays, I highly recommend this website as it covers over 50,000 rooms for rent not only in Malaysia, but in Singapore and Indonesia as well. So, for those who are also finding short term rentals, try iBilik website, get yourself registered and start finding the homestay that suits you the most! ;)

Tiger's Living It Up Party at Vertigo, The Gardens!

Tiger Beer is a world acclaimed social catalyst, and is now stepping up to enable even greater celebrations of winning moments over the tagline, “Here’s to Tiger Time”.

GUINNESS® just kicked off the 12 day countdown to Christmas last Tuesday with the first of its Merry GUINNESS® Christmas parties happened at El Mesón Spanish Restaurant and Tapas Bar!

El Mesón Spanish Restaurant and Tapas Bar @ Bangsar

The party featured mouth-watering Christmas feast of GUINNESS®-infused dishes created by Masterchef Adam Liaw and El Mesón’s Chef Fernando Tabernero. With a live band and carollers filling the air with festive Christmas carols and fantastic GUINNESS® gifts up for grabs, Christmas came early for all those that attended.

GUINNESS® has had a long association with good times and great food! This year, building on this heritage, GUINNESS® teamed up with Masterchef Adam Liaw to create some very special GUINNESS®-infused dishes.

On top of that, consumers were also seen digging in to the special Christmas dishes and pairing them with the free flow of GUINNESS® pints all night long.

Peter Khemlani, Marketing Manager of Guinness® Malaysia said: “Good food and drink are essential to a great Christmas celebration. This year, GUINNESS® wants you to have a Merry GUINNESS® Christmas and to help you with that, we bring you 8 GUINNESS®-infused Christmas recipes created by Masterchef Adam together with pints of your favourite black brew”

Presents are as much a part of Christmas as is the food and the party would not be complete without the giving of presents. Limited edition GUINNESS® merchandise such as shot glasses and Merry GUINNESS® hats were just some of the great gifts that were given out during the night.

What would a Christmas party be without sweet Christmas carols filling the air with it festive sounds? Verses, a professional singing group, brought the Christmas magic to the party with merry renditions of all our favourite Christmas carols. A live band was also in attendance to entertain the crowd with music the whole night long.

Tiger’s 'Living It Up' Party Happenng This 16 December 2011!

2011-12-04T21:01:00.001+08:00

Tiger Beer is set to throw a spectacular celebration to pay tribute to the open to winning mind-set embraced by Tiger drinkers today. Tiger’s Living it Up party, which will be put together by a group of local celebrities consisting of Namewee, Douglas Lim, Vanessa Chong, Pamela Chong and ManHanD, is going to be a phenomenal year-end party happening this 16 December 2011.

The party will mark the introduction of Tiger Beer’s all-new “Here’s to Tiger Time” campaign, which aims to celebrate the value of ingenuity and the “Open to Winning” mindset embraced by the modern and savvy Tiger drinkers today.

Tiger’s ‘Living It Up’ party will be a collaborative effort by the chosen celebrities facilitated by Tiger, with each celebrity representing an open to winning mind-set from their own distinctive backgrounds. The Living it Up Party aims to salute Malaysian consumers who identify with this proposition, the communal characters who strive to create win-win situations for everyone around them, and people who do not look at life as a glass half full, but as a glass full to the brim.

“Tiger is an award-winning beer that is enjoyed by people who see opportunities all around them and lead a life that is filled with winning moments. As a world acclaimed social catalyst, Tiger is bringing the ultimate ‘Tiger Time’ in the form of the Living it Up Party, and we have chosen these local celebrities to take the lead in throwing this bash because we want it to be a party by winners, for winners,” said Sean Koh, Marketing Manager of Tiger.

Planning of the ‘Living it Up’ party by the group of local personalities will be documented and posted up on Tiger Beer’s Facebook page, giving consumers a chance to witness the planning process of the party. Consumers will only have to share their favourite videos on Facebook to be in the running to win exclusive invites to the party.

“This party celebrates the great values of winning and ingenuity, encouraging everyone to embrace a winning mind-set. What I love about Tiger is that it is celebrating winners who take chances in life. Therefore, we will work towards bringing a fantastic year end party for Malaysians to truly enjoy,” says Wee Meng Chee, more commonly known as Namewee.

The Chong sisters Pamela and Vanessa said, “We think this is going to be a really fun journey putting this party together for all the like-minded Tiger fans out there. It is going to be really exciting.”

Stand-up comedian Douglas Lim shares the excitement for this party, “I like the whole idea of winning, because as a stand-up comedian, my work is all about striving to create winning moments. My audience is happy when I crack a good joke, and I am happy when my audience is happy, and to me, that is winning. The Living it Up party is going to be an amazing year end event, so stay tuned to find out more about what we have in store for you.”

Bringing along the element of Chinese hip-hop to the ‘Living it Up’ table is none other than ManHanD, Malaysia’s up and coming Chinese rap group.

“To us, ‘Living it Up’ means stepping up to live life to the max, regardless of what life throws at us. As a local recording artiste, we always hit highs and lows, and at times, the lows come a lot more frequently than the highs. What’s important is that we know how to steady our pace before wanting to go too fast, and I think being ‘steady’ is synonymous to being open to winning. Cheers to Tiger for celebrating that,” says MC Beeman, front man of ManHanD, which is Cantonese for “walking slowly”.

As planning kicks off this week, the local celebrities will be getting together on a weekly basis to brainstorm on ideas for the key elements of the party, which include the venue, food and beverages, as well as entertainment.

2011-11-27T21:49:00.001+08:00

Thanks once again for the invite to one of the hottest party of the year, Hennessy Artistry Hola happened at Malaysia International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC), Mines Resort City!

This time it was filled with lots of famous celebrities from Australia, America, Korea, Taiwan as well as local well known DJs. Different musical genres from the East and West were brought together to heat up the atmosphere and rocks the incredible night away!

Free flow of Hennessy V.S.O.P drink were served throughout the whole night~

Futuristic bars serving delectable concoctions of Hennessy V.S.O.P signature long drinks such as: Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Berry, Hennessy Ginger and Hennessy Soda....which one you prefer? :)

As usual, there were four fun and engaging zones: Hennessy Mixing Bar, Hennessy Music Mix Synth, Hennessy iMix Challenge and Hennessy Interactive Photowall for the crowds to play with. For further details/description regarding these 4 interactive zones, you can check out my previous Hennessy Artistry post here: http://joshualaw88.blogspot.com/2011/10/hennessy-artistrys-biggest-party-of.html ;)

Emcee of that night!

The first performance was started with the Korean superstar, Park Jung Min!

A member of the South Korean group SS501 who released his first solo album in 2011.

Performed together with his professional dancers all the way from Korea~

With his charismatic style, he is known as “SS501 Charisma” and often introduces himself as that.

Known for his confident and playful personality, this Korean sensation has captured the hearts of girls around Asia with his good looks, dance moves, and powerful vocals.

This multi-talented 24-year-old has also worked in the musical Grease playing the lead role of 'Danny Park' for which he won the "Golden Ticket Award" for Best Musical New Talent. His latest single, “Not Alone” was released in January 2011

The korean superstar presented a rose to the lucky audience...I guess the one who received the rose couldnt fall sleep that night edi. lol

Next up, it's Taiwanese songstress, Landy Wen!!!

One of my favourite Taiwanese female R&B vocalist! She is the reason why I so hyped up to come to this event! *shy* hahaha

Check out the video of Landy Wen performing on stage!

Lovely and powerful voice!

Apart from singing, Landy has also acted in the Chinese drama, precious. Her foray into the silver screen will also see her play a role in the highly acclaimed Taiwanese action saga, Warriors of the Rainbow due to be released later this year.

I wanted to shake hand wit Landy but I was way too far from reaching her hand...lol

Give me give me! *puppy eyes*

Landy duet with Park Jung Min singing the song 'tong hua' (童话)

He hugged Landy! Owh~ how I wish the guy is me..hahaha

The following artist to perform is an American singer, songwriter and producer...

Chris Willis!!!

A knack turning killer tracks into charttopping pop songs and a divo who can go mic-to-mic with the best of the pop divas any day of the week!

The man behind the powerhouse voice currently rocking American Top 40 radio with the hot new dance song, "Love Is Gone."!

I bet everyone has heard about that song during clubbing or other party scenes!

"Love Is Gone" is one of five (5!) singles from "Pop Life" featuring the vocals (and often lyrics) of singer-songwriter, Chris Willis: Others are "Every Time We Touch," "Tomorrow Can Wait," "Never Take Away My Freedom," and "Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)."

Check out the videos below of Chris Willis performing 'Love Is Gone' as well as 'Gettin Over You' LIVE on stage!

Video 1

Video 2

Next up is the well known Yolanda Be Cool!!!

Famous with their hit list song, "We No Speak Americano"! ;D

With one record Yolanda Be Cool have gone straight to the top of the music industry A list. Their second single – ‘We No Speak Americano’ (co-produced with DCUP) sold over 5 million copies and hit number 1 in 18 countries; infiltrating radio waves, TV shows, and pretty much every dance floor in the world over the summer!

You’d need to be a Tarantino assassinated corpse to have not felt its impact in some form. Also known as Johnson Peterson and Slyvester Martinez, Yolanda Be Cool have demonstrated that with the panache and production skills to back it up it’s possible to cultivate an international smash hit without the need for a major label vehicle, instead releasing on homegrown Australian indie ‘Sweat It Out’.

With over ten years DJing under their belts their musical influences extend far beyond their Native Sydney, from old school hip hop, to Chicago house to techno to pretty much everything in between.

Last performance by the "King of KL Hip Hop", non other than DJ Goldfish together with DJ Blink! The amicable deejay is so versatile on the decks that he can render his skills to anything he wants. A firm crowd favorite, spinning royalty and DMC Champion. Over the years, he has played alongside big names such as Missy Elliott, Kanye West, Linkin Park, Black Eyed Peas and Prodigy.

DJ Blink, has definitely risen from the ranks of the clubbing masses to become an influential proponent of the KL underground scene. Inspired by the rave movement in KL at the turn of the millennium, Blink started DJ’ing progressive house for two years before heeding the ever-nagging call of Hip Hop turntablism. Today, Blink is now regarded as one of KL’s top DJs.

Their DJ performance had brought the crowds to the hottest atmosphere!

Party goers totally enjoy themselves to the max!

Even the bartenders also hyped up! lol

Check out this exclusive Hennessy VSOP bottle juggling performance by the bartender! ;)

:D

Nah...end my post with picture of pretty girls. :P

Looking forwards to the next Hennessy Artistry parties in year 2012! Till then...cheers~ ;)

Reason being, his bold - no quitting attitude brought Air Asia to where it is today; being one of the World’s best no frills carrier. September 11 was believed to be the worst time to start an airline company, however Tony braved through the impossible and proved them wrong in the statistics by clearing debts and breaking even on the financial front in just three years.

Just that easy!

The unique feature of the Tiger Challenge Trophy is that for the first time, all IRC yachts regardless of their classes will compete for one distinctive trophy. The Tiger Challenge Trophy will be awarded to the IRC boat and skipper with the best offshore passage race performance, based on the lowest points score. The offshore passage races are run from throughout the Regatta passage; Port Klang to Pangkor, Pangkor to Penang and lastly, Penang to Langkawi, which is the last stop for the Regatta.

Rugged enough for the North Sea and certified for Arctic trade, VEGA was famous for her strength and ability to carry loads other boats her size could not.

A Refreshingly Different Experience by Tiger Crystal!

2011-11-11T18:04:00.001+08:00

Tiger Crystal, the limited edition and distinctively refreshing brew from Tiger is back for the festive season and this time around, with an exciting opportunity to win a rare experience to stay in a hotel made entirely out of ice and snow, the incredibly unique ICEHOTEL in Sweden! How COOL is that?!

Recommended by author Patricia Schultz as one of the 1000 Places to See Before You Die, ICEHOTEL, situated in the small village of Jukkasjärvi in Sweden, is the world’s first ice hotel ever built. The largest ice hotel in the world, it is solely made out of 10,000 tons of ice and 30,000 tons of pure snow harvested from the picturesque Torne River.

Standing firm from only December to April each year, it goes through a rebuilding process from scratch each year. Each room is uniquely designed and the hotel offers amazing art, nature, accommodation and gastronomy experiences for the guests, totally different from what they have experienced in ordinary hotels. Similar to the exclusive ICEHOTEL, Tiger Crystal which is only available during festive season, provides distinctively refreshing moments for consumers who are looking forward to try something different than the usual beers.

The easy drinking lager is refreshingly crisp, with full-flavoured characteristics that come from its unique ‘Cold Suspension’ brewing technique. This proprietary technique filters the beer at a crystal cold temperature of -1 degree Celsius to lock in the most desirable flavors and aromas inherent in Tiger Beer.

Sean Koh, Marketing Manager of Tiger said, “At Tiger, we constantly seek ways to bring even more innovative and refreshing drinking experiences to our consumers who are constantly on the lookout for something new and Tiger Crystal, with its smooth and refreshing taste, is exactly the perfect complement for the festive mood.” He added, “Just like the refreshingly different experience that only a Tiger Crystal can deliver, we are proud to offer our consumers an out of the ordinary experience through this ICEHOTEL consumer contest which has never been done by other brands in Malaysia.”

Tiger Crystal brings this once in a lifetime opportunity to its consumers through its “Refreshingly Different” Tiger Crystal Facebook photo contest. All they need to do is upload a photo of their most refreshingly different Tiger Crystal moment. The grand prize winner will walk away with a trip for two to the fascinating ICEHOTEL in Sweden!!! Contest begins on 10 November 2011 and will end on 10 December 2011.

Heineken Thirst Line Up

Tiësto

Blink

Phil K Lee

Plus Special Guests

Winner of Found @ Thirst DJ competition

Runner Up of Found @ Thirst DJ Competition

Malaysia’s leading music and lifestyle festival brings you an extraordinary and exhilarating night of cutting edge musical creativity with a line up of local and international talent to end your 2011 in a blazing supernova of music and cutting edge sound and lights!

For his only Asian date of 2011, Heineken Thirst presents Tiësto, the World’s No. 1 DJ along with the cream of Malaysian DJing talent - DJ Blink and Phil K Lee, both former winners of Heineken’s Found @ Thirst, a competition dedicated to unearthing and nurturing new Malaysian DJ talent, as well as the winner of this year’s Found @ Thirst!!!

This year, it’s the cutting edge live show of Tiësto that takes centre stage at the exclusively themed Heineken Thirst festival site. With an on-ground theme that reflects Heineken Thirst’s exploration into next generation digital landscaping, entering the festival grounds takes you to a parallel universe where music, art and motion graphics collide to stunning effect.

Over the past decade, Tiësto has blazed a path that all the other DJs and producers have had to follow. His shows have pioneered the use of light shows, lasers and LED screens that are now commonplace in electronic dance music, and now he moves forward again with a show for Heineken Thirst based on the massively successful Club Life Tour that has played to record crowds throughout the USA in 2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yethmfIa0j8).

Watch Tiësto’s video message to his fans in Malaysia below:

And after discovering one of the brightest local stars to hit the local music scene in years, the DJ and producer Phil K Lee, Found @ Thirst, Malaysia’s leading DJ competition Heineken Found @ Thirst returns for its second year, delving deep into the world of bedroom jocks to discover the talents who’ll be rocking the dancefloors of tomorrow.

Of course, all eyes are now set on Heineken Thirst and asking: how can we top the awesome spectacle we created for last year’s event? 2010 saw Heineken Thirst emerge reimagined and repositioned from its roots as a DJ competition into a major music and lifestyle destination featuring art installations and collaborations from some of Malaysia’s most talented creative individuals. Those pioneering works of co-creation and visionary thinking helped us to create a cutting edge creative universe around a single idea: they were about expanding the way we see and enjoy music.

This year, more than ever, Heineken is looking to the future in an effort to bring its consumers new and rewarding experiences that push the limits of their musical exploration. It’s about creating a boundary pushing international festival experience that meets their needs for new and progressive music events. We want to create a sense that once you walk through the doors at Heineken Thirst you’ve walked into another dimension, where everything – from music to visuals to the physical environment of the festival site – transports you to a creative music universe that reflects our commitment to creativity and excellence.

Of course, following last year’s Heineken featuring Godskitchen Boombox will be no small feat. At that show, more than 6,000 festivalgoers were treated to an epic spectacle of mapped visuals and architecturally inspired dance floor entertainment from jocks including Sander Van Doorn, Richard Durand and Chuckie. They were there to witness the awesome scale of these intricately mapped visuals, merging to form a multi-textured 25 metre wide video screen. Surely, no one will forget that spine tingling moment when the Boombox burst to spectacular life with a scrolling countdown and an announcement that it had touched down at Heineken Thirst.

At Heineken Thirst in 2011 we’ll be pushing that leading edge mind-set several stages further. With an on-ground theme that reflects our own exploration into next generation digital landscaping, entering Heineken Thirst will take you to a universe where music, art and motion graphics collide to stunning effect. Combine this with Heineken Thirst’s reputation for securing only the most innovative and futuristic local and international talent and you can see why Heineken’s music platforms continue to maintain their position at the forefront of the Malaysian music scene.

One thing’s for sure, it won’t be like any dance music show you’ve ever seen before. It’s part of the ever-expanding music universe that Heineken Thirst inhabits. In its quest to find ever more exclusive and interactive experiences for Malaysia’s music seekers, Heineken Thirst is constantly pushing boundaries and breaking down barriers to bring you the most exciting and invigorating creative music experiences.

“It’s the end of a long and busy year for many of our consumers,” commented Jasmine Foong, Marketing Manager of Heineken Malaysia. “Heineken Thirst is an opportunity for them to escape from their daily routines and immerse themselves for one night in this amazing universe created by Heineken, one that opens news doors and dimensions for them, bringing their music experience bursting to life.

Tiger FC Big Away Game with Old Trafford experience at SOULed OUT, Sri Hartamas!

2011-10-31T21:08:00.000+08:00

The Manchester United vs Manchester City viewing party organized by Tiger FC at SOULed Out, Hartamas on last Monday saw hundreds of fans gather to show their passion for their beloved clubs at the first Big Away Game of the new Tiger FC season!

For the first time in history, Tiger FC brought the on-screen Old Trafford experience to life in SOULed Out as the Citizens visited the Devils’ turf for the much-anticipated Manchester derby with a specially constructed replica of the Old Trafford stadium entrance and a model statue of the United Trinity, paying tribute to the Manchester United fans who were present to watch the match.

Passion and rivalry which hung in the air throughout the match was further escalated by Tiger FC’s trademark, stadium-like atmosphere and a great viewing environment.

In true Tiger FC Big Away Game fashion, fans were treated to a street viewing party environment with plenty of football-themed games and activities throughout the evening. As Tiger FC takes on the role as the “Fan of Real Fans” this season, the United and City fans who declared their loyalty to their clubs upon registration were given exclusive Tiger FC premiums at each goal scored by their beloved club.

“Being a regular at Tiger FC viewing parties, we had high expectations of tonight, especially because it was a Manchester derby. As it turns out, we were amazed by the atmosphere and the Old Trafford-themed environment at this Big Away Game. Having being a Manchester United and Tiger FC fan for years, it sure is a pleasant surprise to see Tiger FC paying tribute to the real fans this season,” said Vivian Tan, a die-hard Manchester United fan since 1996.

“Watching the match here at Tiger FC’s Big Away Game is truly an amazing experience. I really did not expect to see the Old Trafford entrance arch and a true-to-life replica of The United Trinity here at SOULed Out in Hartamas. This is by far one of the most amazing viewing parties I have experienced, and I am sure I speak for the rest of the fans as well. Thank you Tiger FC!” said Vincent Wong, a Tiger FC fan and regular at Tiger FC viewing parties.

The Manchester derby, which concluded at 6-1 to Manchester City, left the fans rejoicing at the final whistle as Manchester United fans watched on with their heads hung low. Lucky fans Lim Kok Sheng and Lim Wei Kiat also left rejoicing, as they walked home with a 40” Sony LCD TV and a Tiger FC Prepaid Card preloaded with RM1,000 respectively after the lucky draw conducted by Sean Koh, Marketing Manager of Tiger, with emcees Adam C and Natalie at the end of the match.

“This Tiger FC season is delivering the most exciting football viewing parties, football themed promotions, contests and perks to football lovers in Malaysia. As Tiger FC is rolling out more than 500 viewing parties planned across the nation, fans can expect club-themed viewing atmospheres, games, activities and prizes, which are guaranteed to deliver a completely new consumer experience,” said Sean Koh, Marketing Manager of Tiger.

With more than 500 viewing parties planned from October 2011 to May 2012 at various locations nationwide, football lovers from across Malaysia can expect greater promotions, exciting contests and many more fist-pumping moments this Tiger FC season.
