“I Went To Feed The Fish!”

Published on January 2, 2008 in Alcohol, La la la and Spa + Beauty. 13 Comments

I kept on telling everyone that the week before Christmas.
Because we didn’t have much work to do, DatinTini and i ran out of the office and IceCalvin joined us cos he wasn’t doing any shoots that day.

So there we were hang-kai-ing (i just learnt the word hang kai ha ha!) around Pavilion and in order to kill time to avoid the jam, i dragged them to go try the Kenko Reflexology Fish Spa, just next to GSC.

I met the owner on the night of the La Bodega launch and promised i’d try it some day.
Basically you get to put your legs into water whereby these tiny fish eat your dead skin thus exfoliating them.

Weird right? I’m all for trying something new!

As you walk into the spa centre, a huge tank faces you and you get to see how it looks like…

Before you put your legs in, they make you wash your feet first.

Then you slip on these generic turquoise slippers everyone wears, keeping your shoes on one of the shelves provided. No locks.
Me: “What if… someone steals my shoes..!?” Shocked *thinks of 300+ shoes*
Calvin: “Urm… hide them la.”

I must say… the room where everyone removes and keeps their shoes… stinks of feet a bit.
Not downright unbearable, but a lingering stench nonetheless.
They really should put stronger air freshener or something.

Then we went to dunk our legs into the tank!
It was super ticklish at first and us three couldn’t stop laughing and squealing.

RM39 nett for 30 minutes. I think.
We paid 39 bucks… but we sat there for 45 minutes cos nooone shoo-ed us, so i’m not sure of the time limit :p

Went to The C Club again to have some snacks and beer after that.
I wanted to try the Belon but they were sold out that day.

IceCalvin

DatinTini

The bathroom is bloody nice man. But it’s off limits to claustrophobes, i swear.
Everything’s black and mirrored inside, i stopped dead in my tracks and walked slowly to feel my way around.

Imagine if you’re high and get pushed in there. Confirm cannot find your way out.

Then i went to visit the chairs i like so much.
I realised the extent of my admiration for the chair when AshleyTheMonkey started staring at me strangely. Cos i was stroking it gently.
I didn’t really care tho and started hugging it too. Shy

Guinness Draught.

The day AlcoJason came back for hols, i dropped everything and scrambled to meet the fellow to catch up.

We had a slight drama at first cos he was going to 1U to get a new hp for a prepaid Msian line, and in order to find him there he asked me to sms his UK line.

I couldn’t get his UK line. Whatevah
At all.

After walking around the new wing in 1U looking for him like a donkey for an hour, i gave up and went to grab a pie and latte at Coffeebean whilst waiting for him to call me when he got his line up instead.

Little did i know that *my* phone was having connection problems and he couldn’t get through as well, all i got was a worried-sounding voicemail from him saying his phone with the UK line crashed all of a sudden.

What’s with our phone karma!?

Fellow tried calling me again from a public phone and we managed to hook up. Finally.

It was a Monday night and i wasn’t sure what was going on in town, so we decided to drink at TTDI Plaza.

Bamboo

I wrote a review on Bamboo in KLue sometime this year, so i have the info in my files:

Address C-1-5/6 TTDI Plaza, Jalan Wan Kadir, Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, 60 000 Kuala Lumpur
Website www.bamboo9.com.my
Tel 03 – 7727 9511 or Aileen @ 019 239 5817
Open 6pm – 3am everyday

AlcoJason and i have always had drinks when we catch up in recent years.
But it never included Guinness Draught before.
I figure in the time we haven’t seen each other, our drinking preferences have changed dramatically if not somewhat.

I automatically went, “Guinness draught please,” to the waiter.
“Ha? Guinness? I didn’t know you like Guinness draught!” blurted AlcoJason.
“You have no idea dude… i drink it like almost every day now.”
“It’s okay, i like Guinness draught too!”
“… Guinness draught la then.” Laughing

(walau i cannot do this wei. editing pics of the foam makes me wanna run out to drink it now -_-)

JappyCalvin came to join us, and it was us three, like old times Pleased Heart
Old times: Kuantan 1st Edition, Kuantan 2nd Edition, NYE 2005, Barcode Days, Poppy Days, Other Poppy Days, (okay i can’t link them all, there’re too many!)

Wow. I went all nostalgic reading how we used to party. I think now, we party harder and (maybe) a bit smarter? Confused

Then Gary called, asking me where’s happening that night cos his old friend was back from London too.
Dude, it’s Monday night la… i don’t know!
Funny thing is, everytime someone wants to party or drink, they’ll call me -_-

So i asked him to join us in Taman Tun.

And then -_- i got another call from a slightly drunk someone…
So again, i just went, “Come join us la!”
And he came.

Check out the trying-to-maintain eyes. Laughing

AlcoJason tried to make me drink at the same rate as him, one for one.
After three Guinness Draughts on my part, “Jason… i tak larat already okay, you’re drinking too fast plus i’ve cut down my drinking!”
“YEAH RIGHT!” WTF
“Yes i HAVE!” !@#$

Still…

I remember all the Guinness promotions they were having earlier this year, like buy one pint, get half free; or buy (i forgot) a certain number of pints, get a lighter free.
Yeah. It’s kinda obvious how much i drink Guinness Draught.
>.<

From now till end of December, buy three pints, and get a Guinness towel free.

Laughing

I think at the rate we go, we can have enough towels to provide a gym. Whatevah

‘Tis The Season To Be Tipsy, Falalalala lala lala!

“What’re going to do today?”
“We don’t have any work to do… so we’re gonna have shots in the office!”
“Busy day, i see.”
“Uh-huh!”

DatinTini brought Frangelico, lemon and sugar.
She even brought her own knife to cut the lemon with, cos she’s too diva to use public property knives in the office. -_-

You dip the lemon slices in the sugar and suck on them, keeping the juice in your mouth. Then you down the shot!
It’s delicious! Tastes of chocolate, cake, hazelnut and all things happy!

I lost count how many we had.
She started singing some Care Bears song after that. I didn’t even know Care Bears had a memorable song.

Went to Pavilion just now to buy food cos the alcohol was making us peckish.

Went to Taiwanese Street Food place on the Lower Ground floor where i always get my oyster mee sua.

It’s damn ons for RM5.50, let me tell you that.

Spreading Christmas Spirit… Unsucessfully

Published on December 19, 2007 in Alcohol, La la la and Office. 0 Comments

The team gathered in the head office pantry before heading out to KLIA.
Naturally, only two or three people would have to drive the rest.

“Who’s gonna drive?” Vijen asked, looking around at DatinTini, NotYourAverageJo, Arianna and i.
My hand shot up, “I will!”

It was like volunteering at school.
Teacher asks someone to run an errand and i suck up. Only difference was in school, i was trusted with the keys to the literature room, to which i’d make out in with my exboyfriend. I would never trust students with room keys if i were a teacher.

Anyway, back to the story. Everyone looked relieved and i really didn’t mind driving to KLIA.
Honest.
I mean, what ulterior motive could i possibly have?

*evil grin*

Once we were in the car, i drowned my team in Christmas carols.

NotYourAverageJo: Oh GAWD. It’s Mariah…
Me: Hee hee hee yeah!
NotYourAverageJo: Beautiful. Just beautiful.

His sarcastic distress almost killed the joy of the carol.

After 30 minutes…
DatinTini: Jo? Are you alive? Eh *says to me* I think he’s going to stop breathing by the time you reach…

I felt like i’d made them suffer enough already (but how on earth can listening to joyful Christmas carols be suffering?!) and switched CDs.

Later on in KLIA, i found myself standing next to Vijen in the lift.
Me: I played Christmas songs in the car!
Vijen: … *looks around at everyone* No wonder everyone looks dead.

-_-

As we were surveying the stocks, DatinTini slunked away and ended up in the alcohol section.
Woman losing the plot.

Absolut had a new display case promoting Absolut Pears…

But DatinTini and i were ooh-ing and aah-ing over the glamour-can-die Absolut Disco bottles.

Too bad we couldn’t buy them

So some of us got forced to go for this beer launch last Friday night at Mardi Gras, 1U.
I personally think Mardi Gras is a shit hole place but hey, maybe they’ll deck it up nice and proper for the event.

Nice and proper, they did.
Decent event deco… too bad they forgot the fans.
I arrived an hour after the event had started and the beer had run out already.
It’s not like i really wanted the free beer that night.
I just wanted a drink cos i was super thirsty.

Someone got me a warm one in the end.
-_-
Okay.
Don’t complain.
Just drink.

I don’t see how an event can run out of alcohol an hour after it starts, when it’s *launching* that alcohol in the first place.
Standing next to SueThePixie, who loudly proclaimed it tasted like tonic water, i gazed at the stage area.
The performers were rapping, jumping around and it just seemed… bad.
Figuring i was in a terrible mood myself for lack of appetite the whole week, i kept quiet.

Roen came to stand next to me and started inspecting the performance too.
Tiba-tiba he burst out, “Seriously, what. The. Fuck. Is that?!”
He gestured at the stage impatiently.
Turning to him, i blurted, “Okay. So it’s not me, right? I thought it was just my bad mood that made me think that’s rubbish.”
“No, really. What are they trying to achieve? What’s their concept?”
The fellow was getting damn emo.
But he should know what he’s talking about cos he does events.
And i attend enough events to know what i’m talking about.

Roen disappeared into the crowd and i walked around, looking at the time till i could leave.
It was damn hot.
The crowd was really mixed up.
It was too crowded.
There were no fans.
There were no drinks.
I had the VIP tag but even *that* couldn’t get me a cold beer.

Imagine everyone else who was lining up for free beers.
I cannot la.
Stood at the side with MarkLee and Co. and found Roen again.

Studying the bottle, i pointed out a phrase on it to him.
It read: “All fun. No boredom.”
He glared at it in aggravation, “I’m fucking bored.”
I laughed.
Really couldn’t tahan la after that, so i left my half bottle of unfinished beer and headed for my car.

We don’t get the beer’s ‘fun’ concept…

Tuborg Tag

Why is it “I am a party a*imal!”???
Is ‘N’ a bad letter? I don’t get it.
Someone please explain the copywriting to me.

Now, a *real* party animal would go -“What are you talking about?! I don’t party! I’m good! I stay at home! WOOHOO!!!” *waves arms in air like mad person on random night*

Heineken Served Extra Cold

Published on November 14, 2007 in Advertorial, Alcohol and Events. 12 Comments

Since starting their series of Heineken DJ Quest and Thirst Studio competitions, i’ve been more involved with the brand due to work - writing preview and reviews on their events for KLue, and taking over Fiona Lim aka FionaMalibu in shooting the finalists at the Heineken Studio when she couldn’t make it for a day.

This month, they invited me to go for the launch of their new Heineken Served Extra Cold beer and just before it, i received a package.

I love the cover of the box, it’s similar to the ads i admired before on the back cover of some mags.
It’s a mix of glossy and matte, projecting the feel as if the cover’s icy cold and you’d wiped your hand over it.
Cool kan?
Cool

Inside the box was a grey and white scarf, i guess, to prepare us for the event.
Someone told me beforehand that they were going to lower the temperature in Velvet for it.

Earlier that day, i went for lunch with GarfieldChak and asked whether he wanted to go for it (yeah i love inviting people for events with me last minute cos it really depends on my mood on who i feel like hanging out with)

“Oh i’m going for it already, they sent me the invite,” he said casually, while zipping down the Penchala Link in his little black convertible (Sorry Chak, i don’t even know what car you drive haha! Don’t kill me).
“Ah! Okay, good, then i can ask someone else. They delivered me this scarf thing this morning okay. At 10am! On my off day… can die.”
“Oh yeah they sent it to me too.”
“You? But why?” i quickly inserted, sneaking a glance at him to see his reaction at my naughtiness.
“Oh, cos… (fellow so blur, took him a while to digest what i just said)... what the fuck! I’m not important is it now! I’m semi-famous also okay! Cos i took part in the contest la!”

I laughed damn hard, thinking he was going to chuck me out of his car.

“Kidding la, kidding! Don’t so emo!”

GarfieldChak’s lead singer in Superbar and they were one of the finalists for Heineken Thirst Studio last year.

Laughing

So la di da, IceCalvin was supposed to come with me, and KinkyPugKevin was supposed to go with the Freeform team and meet me there.
Ended up both bailed cos one had to work and the latter was sick.

So i was thinking, “Who likes beer, and can socialise without me having to babysit them while i do my thing..?”

AzwinAndy came into mind.
Plus the fellow loves his beer.
Actually… he loves any alcohol la -_-

So happened the timing was perfect cos he was having a meeting on Jalan Ampang so i zipped over meet him outside Zouk.

The Heineken people were quite smart in the sense that they started the event outside with beer and grub at Terrace Bar, before ushering everyone in just before the launch starts.
Then inside Velvet, there’s no Heineken till the launch gambit is over, so everyone has to pay attention.

0_o

We, okay i, bounded in to see Heineken bottles frozen in ice.

Quite cool kan?

I couldn’t help licking the ice.

Later on DreamerCyn was like, “Do you know HOW MANY people touched that ice!”
Me: I… didn’t think of it then >_< Bleargh forget about it!

Besides, the alcohol from Heineken will kill the germs, kan?

>_<

GarfieldChak had a go too.
Only because i made him, heh.

Both Reubens were there. Again.
Damn weird la, it’s like i don’t usually see ReubenSamuel around, then suddenly i’m bumping into him almost every day!
I even bumped into him in the Westin lift with his parents the other night!

As for ReubenThom…
“What are you still doing here?! I thought you’re supposed to go back to Jakarta!”
He’s from Perth and Jakarta, and was only in KL cos ReubenSamuel aka Blastique was spinning at Global Gathering.
“I missed my flight…”
“Didn’t you just miss it the other day…”
“I… missed it again…”
“Fail la you.”

The fellow missed his flight twice because he was partying too hard.
Champion.

My sungguh bitchy DoorBitchIvan.

Vinder, AzwinAndy + moi

Vinder is AzwinAndy’s new band manager.
Estranged la. Haijo.

I haven’t seen AA for a long time… so we huddled in a corner rather antisocially and whispered secrets like girls.
AA’s my girlfriend, didn’t you know.
No wait. Zedeck’s my girlfriend HAHA!
Andy’s… i suddenly thought of Butt Buddy cos that’s what AdamPoserPan calls him -_-

I was starving cos i hadn’t had dinner yet and was nabbing at all the food going around me, especially the chicken drumlets and potato wedges. Totally beer grub!

Oh yeah, then i bumped into this waiter in Velvet whom i haven’t seen for a year.
I squinted while trying to remember his name, “… Max!”
“How did you know my name?!”
“I don’t know… i remember from last time when Jason was back in December and you were helping us with the drinks…”

How selective is my memory.
That i can remember his name but i can’t others whom i meet week in and week out at events.

>_<

BubblesAmanda, JoyceTheFairy, DreamerCyn

Congrats to you guys and your company for winning Best Agency of the Year at the recent Kancil awards
Laughing

Mark Jenner, Marketing Director of GAB and Swee Leng, Senior Marketing Manager of GAB, breaking the ice during the launch.

After the breaking of the ice, waiters poured out into the area putting buckets and buckets of the new Heineken Served Extra Cold everywhere.
It’s really nice, not as bitter and served at 0-3 degrees Celsius.
Only thing is I can’t hold it for very long cos it freezes my hand like crazy.Cheryl and SueThePixieI pulled a Cheryl on Friday cos… i couldn’t find the right one. (Our group will know what i’m jabbering about)

Cynna DJs - Rob + Glynn
Glynn said he’ll properly take me around Bali another day cos he goes back there every month
Pleased

FireangelEelaine + GarethST

Suren, Desmond Kiu from Mindshare and GarfieldChak looking awfully red.

WillQuah and the Heinebunnies (sounds a bit salah. Mm.)

KimberlyCun, me, Fireangel

Blink + AhXu were spinning, yeah!
I think i know almost every song on their playlist by heart already
Surprised

Damn fast right the fridge got emptied out…

I walked around Velvet looking for SarChan.
Kept on getting distracted from my search by bumping into former colleagues (like the infamous Spike Yong) and chatting to new people.

Some clumsy ass dropped a full bottle of Heineken on my ankle (which was damn painful) and baptised the insides of both my silver Aldos with beer (which was even more painful).

Finally found SarChan.

KinkyPugKevin gave her the nickname SarChan and she said it’s getting abit too much when i said i tried msging her on FB by typing ‘Sarchan’ instead of ‘Sarah.’

The launch was ending and both Reubens wanted to continue drinking elsewhere, but more chilled out instead of party-party lest ReubenThom missed his flight. For the third time.

0_o

So i suggested Somo Laughing since he’s never been there and of course he has to go to one of the best bars in town before flying back!

Then ReubenThom pulls a Romy+Michelle while ReubenSamuel… i don’t know what he’s doing there.
I doubt modeling’s for you, just stick to your decks la okay?
Silly

I had my regulatory Guinness at Somo and the boys had… Heineken again.
0_o

I swear i had no part to play in this okay.

I called Gary to come down from his apartment and intro-ed him to Reubens
Then Mark joined as well
Then James too
Suddenly one big gang there… talking about… football.

-_- Ish.

Gary was in Melbourne for the longest time so RT and him bonded on that.
I have this hilarious video of ReubenThom attempting to sing the Australian national anthem with the others, tried loading it unto YouTube but the connection is so slow i got fed up after two failures.

Damn lucky. For them.
