Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Penang

So,

Yes, I ran all the way up to Penang for an event,

but hey,

carpe diem!! a.k.a YOLO!! 

I don't know why people hate YOLO but not carpe diem. 

The truth is,

I joined the Facebook contest without checking the details.

I won 4 passes from the Facebook contest.

No one I knew was going,

but Choulyin volunteered in the end,

and she arranged everything!! 

She's just amazing!! 

^____________^

Anyway,

I didn't go as a blogger but as a FB contest winner,

so forgive me for not taking a lot of camewhore pics.

Oh wait,

The look. 

Well JJ Lin was there,

and for some reason we weren't allowed to take pics with him.

This is the best I can get. 

 I'm a huge fan. 

I'm actually not a big fan of JJ, but I like his songs. 

Moving on. 

 By the time we got there,

the place was packed

and we don't have a table.

We just went in and try to see if we could bump into anyone we knew

and just "borrow" their table. 

It was super packed.

Almost impossible to move around,

as you can see in the picture below. 

Yet I was able to find my way to the bar.

YAY!!

Mixing the drinks babeh!!

The stage from the table we "borrowed".

could you see the cute guy at the bottom corner?

=p

This year's theme was Great Britain.

and so,

you could see men dressed up like the royal guardsmen at the entrance

which I dun have pictures of. 

I suck. 

We took a few drinks,

and you can guess what happened after that.

In my defence,

I drank really quickly.

Look,

I tried to take pictures of the glitter on the floor

without much knowledge of operating my camera

and not really in sober state. 

And oh look, a lady wore jeans to the party. 

And this is the most decent picture

I have of the group.

and here

is a less decent one,

taken while my camera was on and my finger on the shutter.

I have no idea when it was taken,

but all 3 of the gang were in there!!

My finger is a genius. 

As you can observe,

Choulyin was somewhat happy.

I guess I'm somewhat entertaining when I've taken a glass too much.

Well,

about 5 days after the party,

I got a phone call asking for my address.

I was expecting the invites and tags which I didn't get before that,

 Something like this. 

Tags above where from last year's event. 

But instead,

when I got my package,

I found:

A cap from the team,

bubble wrap,

and a bottle of  

with

Not happy with how they handled the Facebook winners.

Before the event,

all I got was a phone call telling me that I've won 4 passes.

No confirmation email,

no details,

and they've deleted the contest page.

No official invitation was sent. 

I had to search through the Johnnie Walker page

to find screenshots

to find the venue and time.

HOWEVER,
the songs were great,
some of the drinks were really nice,
(one of them was really nasty,
and the alcohol in me gave me the guts to tell the waitress that. )
and I was really ready to dance,
( I don't usually dance, )
but there was barely space to move,
so forget dancing.

I enjoyed myself despite all that,
because the lot I went with was fun to hangout with. =)


Overall,
I enjoyed the party
as far as I could remember.

The aftermath was even much more fun,
for the other 3.

Thanks again guys, especially Choulyin!!

Wish ya'll can be here for the even in KL!!

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

Dem juices!!

It was a healthy Saturday

morning.

At least. 

So I went to an event by Juice Works

last Saturday in Pavilion. 

I went with an empty stomach

and when I see what was prepared there

I was glad I went hungry. 

The chocolate cookie was nice!!

=D

It reminded me of the ones in subway,

but these come with a thicker chocolate flavour. 

The drinks served in sample size cups were the best sellers there. 

Some are juices while others are more towards smoothies. 

We got to try all of them,

and get a normal size cup for our favourite. 

So here are the sizes.

And the tumbler was one of the door gifts we got. =D

The event was awesome,

because normally we can't go all

curious

and take pictures of the whole place,

but that day,

I did. 

=p

Their work station/kitchen

that later became our playground for 3 minutes. 

We tried the drinks, the food prepared, and then we had the first game,

which I got second place.

The prize for second prize was taking a picture with the first prize winner. XD

Anyway,

after that we had a talk from the founder of Juice Works. 

She explained everything from how she came up with this idea

to how the juices can help us.

Did you know that you need 5 servings of fruits per day?

Which means 5 pieces of fruits, example: one apple, one orange, one banana, etc. 5. 

Since we usually do not take so much fruits per day,

the cup of juice would help, 

because they combine at least 3 types of juices. 

Other than educating us about the nutrition facts,

she also encourage us to make our own juice at home,

and the trick is to choose fruits with a variety of colours.

And don't just grind the juice, choose fruits with fiber too. 

And after the informative talk,

she gave us a chance to make our own mixture of juices.

And we get to play in the kitchen!! 

=D

The yoghurt used for smoothies. 

=D 

Yummy!!

This was our group's creation. 

Tada~ 

Well we didn't win the first prize,

but we got complementary vouchers anyway!! 

And last but not least,

we were served with this.

Wheat-grass juice.

It helps lower blood pressure,

and gives you great skin

if you take just one small shot everyday.

Bendan demonstrating bottoms up!!

But be careful if you already have low blood pressure,

because drinking this

will ensure you a twirly hour at the mall. 

If you're someone who don't take a lot of fruits (and/or vege),

do drop by Juice Works to grab a drink when you're at the mall. 

because 1 cup of that

will fill you up.

Seriously. 

It's healthy and filling. 

They have 12 outlets around Klang Valley,

so it's not too hard to find.

Found in major shopping malls. =p

Oh,

they have a huge list of juices to choose from,

and they refresh their menu every now and then,

so you can skip the fruits that you don't like.

=X

Ending the post with a rare

wide smile with teeth showing picture. 

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

p.s. The fiber really works. =X

Paranorman

It's nice. Go watch it. The End.

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~





Ok, just kidding,
I was mimicking a review post I read last week.
Would you believe that "It's nice and go watch it" is more helpful that that review?

I shall not point (nor flash) fingers, but try looking for "Bourne Legacy" review.

Anyway,
Paranorman is a stop-motion cartoon which talks about the adventures of a boy, Norman as he tries to stop the curse of the witch in his small town.

Norman is the freak of the town because he talks to ghosts. The people don't believe him, not even his family. And so, he gets bullied a lot. One day, his seemingly creepy uncle came to him and told him about the witch's curse on some people who use to live in the town, and that he was the only one who can stop it. And there was when the adventure starts.

I would say that this is a nice cartoon to watch, but if you're too much of a logical person, or you forgot that the cartoon is mainly targeted at kids, you're gonna have a boring time.

I enjoy the little jokes here and there that makes the movie fun to watch, but the suspense to the scary parts were great too. I almost hit the girl who came over to warn Chee Ching not to use her phone because that was the suspense part and I was prepared for the zombie to pounce. (Was very annoyed by those people.) Naturally, when a black figure suddenly shows up next to me, it did make me jump a little.

Why would you expect logic in a cartoon? *rolls eyes* It's suppose to be funny and simple enough to make children laugh yet keep the adults entertained in some way. And Paranorman did that. My inner child had a great time, and the more adult side of me was kept entertained.



The graphics were a lot softer than Coraline, you can see that the edges are more polished, and the movements flows better.

If you haven't watch Coraline, here's the trailer, and you should check it out!!


My verdict? YAY! But leave your logical thinking outside the door and don't forget to pick it up when you leave.

I loved the super minor twist in the end that really made me LOL. =)

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~ la deuxieme fois.

p.s. It's not worth watching in 3D.

Memories from Paris (part 1)

So,

after more than 2 years from my trip to France,

I've finally decided to take time to do a few posts about Paris. 

I can't remember much of our itinerary,

but I'll just add captions to the pics

as of how I remember them. 

First,

A walk in Jardin du Luxembourg.

It was cold,

and there was nothing there.

We just went in a little,

and walked out again. 

No captions needed for the next few pics. 

But,

One does not simply go to Paris 

and not take pics of La Tour Eiffel. 

Now you see me

 Now you don't

爱在巴黎的塞纳河畔上面眺望

赶不上的玻璃船 ♥

梁静茹-我喜欢

That was a boat on La Seine

with La Tour as the background. 

I was standing on one of the many bridges. 

Next,

Photobomb level:

Toilet sign. 

The nearest to the top of La Tour Eiffel I've ever gotten. 

This was taken from under the tower. 

Notre-dame du Paris on  

a carousel in Paris,

how more beautiful can it be?

And the infamous 

Moulin Rouge.

We didn't go in. (Unfortunately)

But from the outside,

you can see pictures of the "dancers".

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? =p

Just quoting the song. 

Sacre-coeur.

 The back of the Lady of Liberty

of Paris. 

 She was quite a long walk away from the Eiffel Tower,

but I just had to see her.

No idea why I didn't take a pic of the front....

There's actually another replica of the Lady

in the Luxembourg Garden,

but we didn't go deep enough to see it,

and I didn't know until I was back here. 

So that's all for part 1.

Part 2 will be more on daytime pics

and the other side of Paris. 

=)
