Phuket Paradise

Had to share a couple of pix of the villa I was at this last weekend...

One of my favourite weekend getaway location has got to be Phuket and I was lucky enough to be invited to be part of a small group of 6 friends to share in the celebrations of a good mate's 30th Birthday :)

The Bday girl having brekkie at KLIA

Aleenta Resort....

Yup - this is our view from the pool and YES - we are ON the beach...

The rest of the weekend is un-bloggable - obviously ;)

The M.A.C-nificent Magic, Mirth & Mischief Party

M.A.C had the launch of their Holiday 2009 range last night at KLCC... lots of fun, frolicking and laughs provided by both M.A.C and attendees (as you will soon see)! The evening in pictures ....

Oriental Clark Kent lookalikes

WOAH! Beehived Bevy


Man-about-town Kee Hua Chee in a rather unique ensemble inspired by... well... HIMSELF (yes those are images of himself he has on his shirt, trousers and shoes!)

Me & some of the M.A.C team...wait til you see the images for the album due in 2010 - makeup's done by M.A.C
The superbly talented & ever creative M.A.C family

Rootz Opening @ Lot10 Rooftop 17 Oct 09

Probably one of the most talked about new venues & events in KL, Rootz had its Opening Party last week and one an EPIC night it was indeed.

Located in the area that used to be the carpark on the rooftop of Lot10, the view of the beautiful KL skyline by night, from the luscious garden that resides beyond Rootz is simply breath-taking. Talk about putting KL on the world map for night spots!

Doing an interview for YTL TV!

The soundtrack for the night began with favourite classic hip hop beatz and toonz playlisted by non other than DJ Cza with Joe Flizzow working the microphone.

With the Boyz

I then took over the decks ...

Hhhhmmmm - looking ever so serious innit *damn my headphones look nice!*

The packed room were more than enthusiastic and definitely up to party til the wee hours of morning... I felt it was time to take things up a notch...

First with the floor-filling FADE

And then with my signature song - STARLIGHT


"Yeah, yeah yeeeeee-aaaah..."

If only I knew how to put in words the feeling I get when I'm performing and I see a packed dance-floor in front of me with everyone singing along... *warm&fuzzy*
(BTW that's my hand at the bottom right hand corner of the pick!)

With my adrenaline on over drive it was time to shed the jacket -

A lil tweak here and twiddle there... as I mixed in my last track, UK Celebrity DJ Sam Young was waiting to take over...

Time for a quick pic with Sam (in the middle)

All in all an awesome night - stunning location, beautiful venue (whites, gold and red; and you HAVE to check out the washrooms for the eye-buffet!)

Hung outwith good buddy Joyce (Kinky Blue Fairy's Coverage here)

With my Sister & Manager and my DeeJay 'Si-fu' / teacher

And last but by no means least my favourite pic of the night - with Mum & Dad. Yup they were there too - unwaivering with their support and ever popular with people of all age groups. Dad always impeccably dressed and Mum never less than glamorous. I was particularly happy with my glad-rags for the night and that was thanks to the help of friend, fashionista and blogger Andrea Joan - you MUST check out her new line of hair accessories that are all designed and hand-made by her. Click HERE now.

My friends think my parents ROCK - and so they SHOULD!

Congratulations to the Management of Rootz - can't wait to return :)

Official Launch Party for Envie on Changkat 15 Oct 09

Envie Lounge (which is the one on the corner as you approach the row of nightspots on Changkat) finally had its official Opening party despite being open now for a few months. The place has most certainly built a HUGE following that take their partying VERY seriously

I was particularly excited to use my newly 'BLING'ed headphones for the first time


Walked in on a FULL house !!! :D


What a great vibe, superb crowd !

Midnight welcomed our very own Joe Flizzow's big 3-0 birthday and that gave me the cue to feed this party-hungry crowd with a spin on things - for the first time in Envie - a LIVE PA

Thanks guys! I saw many of you sing along to "STARLIGHT" which did me very proud :)


Highlight of the night? Getting my own podium dancers who were volunteered revellers from the dancefloor ;)
Sorry for the absence of images but censoring imperative due to explicit nature of photos hehehehehe....

A big thanks to everyone who came and made the night a massive success and a big shout out to my mates who came to support - u know who u are...

Joke of the night? My mates claiming to be GROUPIES (see below)

Girl Talk

As i don't really like wearing make-up, I am extremely fussy about what make-up I do use. I'm not particularly good at applying it myself but despite that (and years of instruction from my big sis) I have had some friends complement my application of make-up. Some have gone as far as to ask me to teach them... to which I've responded by laughing out loud!!!

Thought I'd share some of my favs with you:

Compact powder by STILA

Lipstick by MAKE UP FOR PROFESSIONALS

Gloss by LIP FUSION

Eyeshadows by MAC (they are THE BEST)

Liquid eye liner by BOBBI BROWN

Key items for me are:

Shimmer by MAC - Mineralize Skin Finish

Mascara by YSL - Volume Effet Faux Cil

I'm not one for trying to products especially since make-up is not one of my favourite things in life BUT i feel compelled to share with you a product new to me:

RIMMEL London's SEXY CURVES MASCARA

This doesn't mean I've given up on my darling YSL, it just means I now have a more affordable option at at nearly 50% of the cost!

I generally don't like waterproof mascara's as I find them impossible to remove. Well guess what... u can get the eye make-up remover by Rimmel London to take care of that problem! It does exactly what it says on the bottle. Check out more of their products here

Most discerning make-up wearing women (& men) will find that most 'waterproof' mascaras DO smudge - I have found that this particular product does NOT.

It's got a serious (if not scary-looking) brush that has 1 layer to curl & separate ur lashes, with another layer solely responsible for creating more volume... well that's what I've been told, but frankly speaking it's just really nice to apply, gives long-lasting wear, comes in a pretty purple package and makes my eyes look LUVERLY :)

At under RM40 - it's a bargain - and you can get it at Watson's

Added Bonus? You can go around bragging that u use the same mascara as Kate Moss

I miss London *sigh*

-----------------------------

I'm playing the opening DJ set for celebrity DJ SAM YOUNG this Saturday at the opening of new YTL nightclub hot spot ROOTZ which is located on the rooftop of Lot10 ... gotta go shop for an outfit!!!

So I was thinking of going hunting - mix things up a bit - gonna check out M Store @ Gardens. 

Girlie activities

tee hee hee

------------------------------

And to finish off, since we're on this topic - you must check out this musical genius who goes by the name of GIRL TALK here - gives a whole new meaning to reviving classic tunes from 60s onwards and mashups.

I guarantee 100% satisfaction to your ears

EuroTrip 09 in pictures - Part 7 - Paris

Je ne dis rien

 C'est la vie!

EuroTrip 09 in pictures - Part 6 - 24 hours in Amsterdam

Tweeting from Amsterdam.... no wonder i returned home to a MASSIVE phone bill! Follow my tweets here

Lemme see.. how would a describe Amsterdam in a few words? 

Clean

Friendly

Busy (Motor vehicle, Bicycle, Tram & Human traffic)

Hectic

Compact yet not 

Interesting Architecture

Canals

Tree-lined

Cobbled streets & alley ways

Tolerant

This is the oldest church in the centre of the city... and it faces the 'Ladies of the night' windows which we were advised NOT to photograph. A stone's throw away is a creche that some of these working women use for their children, while they see clients. If that's not acceptance and tolerance, I don't know what is...

THe (IN)famous Bulldog Cafe chain
I loved the architecture there. You'll find that the city centre's buildings are all pretty narrow and I learned the reason for that being that in past times, taxation was calculated based on the width of the building in which people resided ie. the wider the building the wealthier the owner!
By night

EuroTrip 09 in pictures - Part 5 - O2 Wireless Music Festival

For me, the highlight of the O2 Wireless festival which was held in Hyde Park  was Sneaky Sound System. Their electro pop dance tunes really come to life when performed on stage with Miss Connie's faultless vocals resonating the catchy signature SSS melodies. 

I HEART SSS

Our essential supplies for the day... 

sarong (cant run away from being malaysian...who needs an itchy hot travel rug when u can have a lovely soft beach sarong from Lumut!)

Backpack holding wetwipes, hand sanitiser, tissues, sunnies, suncream, spare tee, hoodie, lipbalm, laserpen, sweets, chewing gum & some other less healthy supplies
What a perfect day
Giant Jenga!
The alternative 3 Stooges
The crowd going bonkers for homegrown Dizzee Rascal performing BONKERS
A special moment... spot the 2 arches of a rainbow... MAKE A WISH

Sunset... and the mood changes

Basement Jaxx closing set...

EuroTrip 09 in pictures - Part 4 - LOVEBOX Victoria Park Day 2

I'm desperately trynna catch up with my backlog of blog posts... so my eurotrip will continue with pix and one liners!

Day 2 @ LoveBox was taken p pretty much by DJ sets. Diplo rawked the RIZLA Van (the main sponsors for that designated 'enchanted forest' area

The Rizla-DiploVan

check out Diplo's crowd in the enchanted forest... there was a perpetual long line to get into this area throughout his entire set

Joachim was decidedly grumpy looking for the majority of his set... despite which, i enjoyed his playlist tremendously

Simian Mobile Disco (SMD) played trax from their new album 'Temporary Pleasure' - it was nothing short of PUMPING. Highlights of the set were the pyrotechnics which we all 'oooh-ed & aah-ed 'at and welcomed cos we were starting to get rather cold once the sun went down.

ONE ...

TWO ...

WOW ... AAH ... OOH ...
