H-ARTISTRY’S BIGGEST PARTY OF 2011 ‘MIXES IT UP’

Hennesy Artistry is back! This time will be happening at Malaysia International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC) at Mines Resort City on 12 November 2011.

 Are you ready to party?

This final leg of H-Artistry lineup include Yolanda Be Cool, Landy Wen, Chris Willis, Park Jun Min, and Goldfish & Blink

Chris Willis is a singer/songwriter with 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. Like David Guetta singles, then you will sure to be impress by him as he is the man behind most of Guetta's songs. Looking forward on listening to his remixes!

Yolanda Be Cool, the Australian mega electronic duo. Why you no speak Americano! Love that song. Will definitely dance to it.

This time around, with an expected crowd of over 4,000, the upcoming H-Artistry party promises to enthral party-goers to two explosive partying experiences where sights, sounds, and tastes collide.

Landy Wen, pretty Taiwanese singer. She definitely has style in her. Other than that, guests will also be exposed to the Hennessy Mixing Bar – a bar where fans will be taught how to mix any of the four signature Hennessy V.S.O.P long drinks (Hennessy Citrus, Hennessy Berry, Hennessy Ginger, and Hennessy Apple). In addition to that, there will be a booth with the name Hennessy Music Mix Synth — where revellers will be given the chance to create their own tunes by selectively choosing to place 15 circular cubes on a react table (each cube represents a different music element, i.e: guitar, drums, etc) to allow them to experience the true meaning of “The Global Art of Mixing” through the blending of their very own tunes.

DJ Goldfish and Blink, the KL King of Hip-hop, looking forward in seeing them spin it again! Party goers can also visit the Hennessy iMix Challenge – an area where party-goers can try their hands at Hennessy’s newly developed iPad game which requires guests to slice up ingredients which are found in Hennessy V.S.O.P’s signature long drinks. The top 5 high scores screened on an LCD leaderboard will each take home a bottle of limited edition Hennessy V.S.O.P Helios. Other than that, Hennessy Interactive Photowall – a green screen photography area where revellers can enhance their photos digitally by choosing and inserting different visual backgrounds and shout out phrases.

I call myself a huge Hennessy Artistry fans as I never fail to turn up at all the 4 Hennessy Artistry 2010 party last year at Opera, Zouk, Mist and MICC. I enjoyed the Hennessy Artistry with great Artistes performance, DJs, awesome companion and the one we must not miss out, free flow of HENNESSY all night long!

Thanks to Hennessy Malaysia, I will be going to MIECC for this final leg of Henessy Artistry

At the mean time, see you guys at Malaysia International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC) at Mines Resort City this 12 November 2011.

HydraSkins: Where Art Meets Technology

There are many new technologies out there. Everyone are trying out all the new gadgets to fit in with the norm or gadgets that are "hot". The gadgets certainly did not come cheap! In my case, I protect all my gadgets that are bought with my hard earned cash.

Last week, I came across this brand HydraSkins, skins designed to protect your laptops from scratches. I love the idea as I hate to put in casing that will add weight into my laptop. This skin from hyrdraskins fits in perfectly.

I was given an Apollo 18 theme skin to try on. Apollo 18 is an upcoming movie about space and astronaut. Do check out the movie!

I find the instruction manual on how to apply the skin to my laptop is non existence as I apply it with ease without any guide. This proves on how easy it is to stick it to the laptop. 

Thinking on the possibility of me changing designs, I TRY TO REMOVE it, and it is so smooth to remove without leaving any residue.

I'm loving it so far. If you are interested, you can log in to their websites for further information.

Check out more designs on http://www.hydraskins.com/.

Vin's Taman Tun Food Review

 Last week, I was offered to join the team of Advertlets to visit a restaurant in TTDI. With my love for food., i say yes to them without hesitation. This is going to be another good food adventure in my thinking.

The restaurant itself, Vin's

The entrance and the signboard, Vin's. The environment is totally top notch as I feel like I'm living in France with the setting. The brightness is just nice as well (fit in the word 'romantic' if you want to have a date here)

This is what I mean by "French setting"(as the country are famous for wines). The setting with wines and alcoholic beverages are arranged nicely on a wooden shelf.

Crumbed Scallops RM18.90

Pan-fried breaded scallops 

 Brandy Prawn  RM18.50

Sautéed fresh shrimp served on crusty bread and tossed with Spanish dressing and brandy sauce. =

Fresh prawns cooked with garlic and chili olive oil, served with toasted bread =

TheMarinated chicken cubes, with finely slice chili, topped with Greek feta cheese onions. Truly fusion! 

Salmon Cream RM28.90

Juicy grilled salmon cooked in a basil cream sauce seved on pasta.

 THE BLACK ANGUS RM54

Air flown U.S grain fed ribeye steak grilled to your choice of doneness, served with potato salad, accompanied by salad and rich gravy. 

The Elusive Chocolate Truffle Cake RM16.90

I personally think that i had a fantastic night. Vin's managed to get everything right from the food served to customers service. The waiters and waitress always welcomed us with a smile.Even personnel from the management take some time to join for some light conversation(despite with the tight schedule).

The food here are simply awesome (without bias). My personal preference will be the fishes served here, The fishes served are so fresh and cook to perfection

If you are looking for great night out with good food and company, Vin's is definitely the place to be! Vin's is located in Lorong Datuk Sulaiman 1, Taman Tun Dr Ismail.

PUMA running is introducing their latest collection “FAAS” to Malaysia’s fastest athletes and most stylish fashionista alike.

It helps the runner get into their own rhythm for increased speed and performance. The collection is available in three distinct variants ROCKER, FLEX and GROOVE.

Larry Crowne Movie Screening

I was invited to movie screening by Advertlets on the movie Larry Crowne. I  was hesitated to watch it at first because of the actors. I mean Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts are not exactly actors in my era. However, I'm glad i decided to watch it at the end. Read more on the review below!

The story revolves around Larry Crown (as the title suggest), a widower who works at a local big-box company, and a superstar team leader, until the company decided to down-sized him due to him lacking proper qualification except graduating from high school. Larry serves the navy for 20 years as a cook and worked with the company ever since. Not knowing what to do on his mortgages, he decided to head to college to obtain proper qualification. Coincidently, he fell in love with the teacher who taught him in his public speaking class.

The director ( Tom Hanks ) infuse great laughter in most of the scenes especially during Larry’s public speaking class where most of the students were rather not serious on the class. During his Economic class, Tom manage to infuse laughter with the character of a cynic Japanese lecturer who are obsessed with self-laugh jokes that could only be understood by him ( in the class, that is).

The romantic scenes between Larry and his lecturer was rather stale however as most scenes are there to just complement the whole show instead of adding a stronger impact onto the plot. There isnt any real intimate scenes between both of them except for the end of the show and when the lecturer was drunk. During the latter scene, the intimate scenes were rather more of a “potong stim” moment. The director should have used that scene to add a stronger ‘presence’ of love between them and create a better impact for the film.

In the end, what matters most is that it provides down to earth story line and great laughter all around. It was an enjoyable movie and its really straight forward. No thought provoking scene, no complicated dialogues. It’s a layback, care free, laughable comedy that is sure to tickle your funny bone.

A simple and direct movie. Some might find the plot too thin and not interesting. However, it is compensate by a world class performance by both Hanks and Roberts. Do not miss it, head to your local cinemas now! 

I will like to thank Advertlets and Nusantara Edaran Filem again for the invitation.
