Why You All Don’t Believe ME!!!
Jul 25th
I wrote on my Twitter that I ‘retire’ clubbing already!
Okay, my Tweet links with Facebook.
I got replies from both side. Seems like everyone is like not believing me.
Sigh. Am I not keeping up to my words?
This was my Tweet reply:
Both my HRC church mates don’t believe me.
and this was from Facebook:
Some laughed, just don’t believe and family even mock me! 
not forgetting ONE CALL and FOUR SMS about it…
How hard is it to believe? How hard? Oh wells…
Looks like I’ve got this party animal face and good that the legacy still stays. :p hahahaha
But, anyhoos… I’m giving Hennessy Artistry tonight a skip definitely!
Give Me FREEDOM Please!!!
May 21st
Work has been crazy and it is killing! Like seriously… Since Monday!
I’m so gonna go crazy anytime soon already with all the work I have.
I need a real break!
I meant a ‘happening’ break-away! A real ‘happening’. Have you heard of the up and coming 2 Days of FREEDOM Music Festival 09? I’m sure you do lah. Come on lah. The ads are all over the blogs, JUICE Magazine and everywhere else lah…
Okay. So what’s the deal with this FREEDOM 09? It’s a way of life people!
Oh I just found out that if you sign up as their member at their website, you get to enjoy some privileges. Now don’t tell me I didn’t give u some heads up. Go and register! Quick!!
Also there will be activities to keep you sane for the 2 days event. What? You think they gonna ask you to head down to Malacca just for fun? Yes indeed. For fun it is and that’s why they have some FREEDOM activities all lined up for you. I wanna go try their FREEDOM Trampoline man…!! Wheeeee!!!!!
This year, the line up will be as follow. Maybe, there are more to come. But let’s just have our fingers crossed okay? Among the line up, I like Ferry Corsten’s (http://www.ferrycorsten.com/) music. Have been listening to his music just recently only. Dance music yo!!!
Oh and this news sure you don’t know wan! Confirm ah! Muahahah.
Do you know that there will be two more DJs coming for this event? Come I tell you who they are 16 Bit Lolitas (NE) and tyDi (AUS). They have their very own unique music qualities and if I were to choose who I like the most; I would be in total dilemma.
16 Bit Lolitas consists of both Peter and Ariaan, hails from the Netherlands. From a country where dance music is pretty much a hit and the amount of clubs over there compared to Malaysia, I would say their “electronic music” are pretty neat. They do have their regular radio show on Frisky Radio. Oh gosh, it has been a while since I last log on to Frisky Radio. Time to do so now…
(Source: Shit For Free)
Check out their songs on MySpace. Click Here. I like Murder Weapon out of the lot of their songs there.
Then the next DJ would be DJ tyDi from Australia. He was only 21 when he was named number 1 DJ in Australia last year. Credits should be given to DJ tyDi as he has even toured the world with famous names like Tiesto, Armin van Buuren (AVB) and Paul van Dyk (PVD). Gosh! At the age of 21, I was only going around KL clubs banging my heads consuming alcohol like there is no tomorrow and this DJ tyDi has already traveled the world!
(Source: The Daily)
His music also very nice to listen too! Go listen on MySpace. Click Here.
FREEDOM 09 this year will be held at Malacca A’Famosa Resort and this time, they will be holding FREEDOM 09 on a tarmac! Have I told you I hate sticky and muddy ground? The Jamiraquoi party during F1 was just like that and it totally turned me off, no matter how much I like Jamiraquoi.
Yes, those are the list of hotels in Malacca that you can contact for your accommodation. There are news that hotel rooms are quickly taken up. So quick! Grab your rooms while they are still available. OR… you can appoint me as your official logistics handler. :p Just email me at travel(at)yapthomas(dot)com
Now, I shall leave you with the banner ad that I received in my email.
For 2 days pass you only pay RM 128. Whoa! Not bad what… If you are feeling a little bit kiamsap mah, go join as FREEDOM member at www.freedom-09.net. Why? Because as an exclusive FREEDOM member, you will get up to RM 30 off per pass. No harm join as member cause got benefit summore. Who knows what else is in store for you when you are there?
You want more information about 2 Days of FREEDOM Music Festival? Log on to www.freedom-09.net.
Tons of information on DJ line ups and maps and all you want to know lah…
I think I will be there lah… 
If time permits and if I want to break my clubbing rule. But oh wells… gah! So many things going on lah…
Okay.. I shall be officially on hiatus for 48 hours!
Pulling the Handbrake
May 21st
Work is killing but I just wanna state my thoughts here and head back to it.
I think I have been really calm lately. I did not cry over spilled milk. I have been very diplomatic with mistakes. I have not been screaming my lungs while driving in a bad traffic jam. I have been very nice to people who have hurt me. I did not go all out against unreasonable decision made by my HQ.
Recently, I had a meal and I found a hair. I pushed the bowl aside, made a slight temper fuss but I did not went over to complain. The boss saw me and asked what happened and she saw the hair. I told her, “It’s okay. Just don’t charge me for it.” She said “No! No! No!, I will bring you something else.” I insisted, “No”.
On usual normal ocassion, I would just stop eating and make a big fuss over it. Hey, that hair could come with all the germs and what not. That person could have not washed his/her hair for a very long time. I did not. I calmly push aside the vege bowl. Dig out a potion from my own bowl and continue eating the rest of my meal.
Paying my bill, she said sorry again and I just smiled and walked away. What I will not do is make a fuss. What I will do is blacklist that bloody place! Simple. No hassle.
I don’t know what it is but it seems that I have changed without me knowing until someone told me about it. It’s like pulling the handbrake from everything which does me no good.
First it was smoking, then it was drinking which I have not touched for so long now and then clubbing and now my temper.
Is this the sign of getting old where people gets more gentle and calm?
Racial Assault at Ministry of Sound, Sunway
Mar 20th
WOW! Is this real? What? Read on…
I ter-click on the text ad and I saw this… on http://www.nationwide.com.au/sunway
I looked through the website and it is a business listing company based in Australia.
Whoa! So serious meh?
I remember reading the same similar problem which involves the security from Nicolekiss’ blog. Read “So Euphoric, MY ARSE”
So much so for a hospitable country eh, Malaysia. Plus, the crowd at Euphoria thinks that they are big shots and they can show off or rather assault anyone they don’t like. Now, this person has the ad up and running and I think it is target to Malaysian readers.
My gosh! I remember back in Australia. The security along the clubbing strip was so stiff that every 5 minutes, you will see police making their rounds. One guy even got a ticket for sleeping at the front door of a restaurant. WOW!
Speaking of Australia, stay tune for more of my Perth-venture.
I’ve got my DiGi post drafted but the day went out of hand that I have to forgo my chance of winning the PSP! Bah! You guys that posted are lucky! LUCKY! Because I didn’t post. Else I sure win wan.. (sulk)
Chinese New Year 2009: Day 5
Feb 2nd
The night where I slept about 4 and I had to get up to go Putrajaya by 11am.
Guess what?
I woke up at 10:20am and I made it to Putrajaya about 11:20am. It’s so much faster to go through Puchong or was I speeding? :p
Nothing much for Day 5 as it is also another lazy day. But, the highlight of the day, is the night out with The Boys.
Imagine: 8 Guys running all terrorizing KL. -_-
Yeah. That, should sum it all. Heh.
Took this picture while waiting for the pick up at my bro’s place.
Zen Zen…
Since, we have pretty much grown out of clubbing now. Er.. actually, it’s me who has grown out of it. We decided a chill out place where we can sit and at least, talk.
Changkat Bukit Bintang came into our mind straight away, since our last trip there.
Our first pit stop for the night is The Social along that street.
It’s a happening place…
It looks happening upstairs but decided not to go up as the decibles of the music being played nearly killed our eardrum.
It is a night what guys would do when they are out all together. Sports, girls, happenings and new updates. Well, pretty much the similar what girls night out would be. Shopping, guys, happenings and new updates.
We made a lot of noise…
After Social, we headed off to Luna to check out that cool place.
Reason: Because we got an Aussie who haven’t seen much of KL’s nightlife.
Outcome: We chickened out, because we had to pay RM 50 cover just to get in.
Yes, stingy we are that way.
Camwhore while waiting at Luna…
Where else to go in KL for nightlife? The other location would be Asian Heritage Row.
Blanc Le Club is where we went next.
Them, ogling at dancing chics…
Main organizer decided to move around at Asian Heritage Row but, it didn’t turn out well and we headed back to Blanc again.
It’s so different at Blanc that night. So, so different.
Ended the night with Maggi Soup Double. YUM!!!!!!!!
Hakimi stealing my Maggi soup’s soup… -_-
and Rick can’t stop asking me out for clubbing session everytime he see’s me.
I’m not as a crazy clubber already lah. I would have someone else to introduce, so he can ask her out every week. :p You know who you are hahahaha
Vertigo SkyLounge: The Party Peoples
Jan 27th
So, I was at Vertigo SkyLounge and yes, there was a party…
Met many people whom I’ve not met for ages.
Those from Melbourne, those from Klang, those who came back, and those I’ve not met for quite some time because of work/busy schedules.
The party started at 6pm and I reached about 9pm. Thanks to the ever wonderful Klang Valley jam.
Imagine being stuck at Ampang for 2 hours when I wanted to leave about 7pm. -_-
I was told to call anyone who wants I might wanna bring, and since this girl just came back from Aussie, might as well catch up.
Regine and moi…
This place can actually host more than 150 people at one go. If include the sky deck, total number can go to about 250+? I don’t know. I am just guessing judging by the size of this place.
The crowd…
Meet the man who made this party possible. The Son, The Father and The PA.
Anak Dato’, Dato’ himself, PA to Dato’
Had dinner and then headed upstairs to the sky deck, to enjoy the view and of course, camwhore.
Pat, Dora, Regine, Moi
Everyone who attended this party are either really close friends, families and business associates of the Tan Family.
Moi, Nat, Jas, Tracy, Raja
Rue brought Sher Yee along, whom I’ve not met for ages! Like ermm.. 3 or 4 years?
She say my smile is fake… Fake?
It was about 10pm-ish and the other boys are just arriving.
See that Asahi there? Killer! Never touch that!
I don’t know what Ben is doing…
Rue with the only halal drink…
Met the Melbournites (whoa new word I’ve invented). Last I met most of them was at Melbourne 2004. Wow, it has been a while.
The Melbournites…
The place closes at 11pm. Well, that’s what the rental rule says. But, the host decided that two angpow packets may help pull the time longer so that everyone can chill around a lil bit.
Somehow, I find this pic very funny…
And, it’s time for everyone to leave. Some were tipsy, some where just crazy…
and this one too!!
There was an after party plan and it is Zouk.
The tired moi…
Surprise to have met Kevin there…
Yo!...
The cousins were there waiting for all of us to enter.
The crazy cousins…
Don’t need to summarize about Zouk, as I had already did.
I was bored and I took out kinky dice…
The Kinky Dice…
But, no one wants to play with me… So I became lagi bored.
So I what I did was dance. Dance the night away…
This Is Why I Reduce Clubbing
Jan 25th
Since the people are all around and well, I thought, it wouldn’t hurt to go out to dance, not drink much and be fresh for next day to get more chores done at the apartment.
So there I was, in a very smoky and stuffy environment, loud music hurting my eardrum every single second plus the tiredness is just killing.
I am all for one mission, have fun, dance and go home.
Another big achievement to drinks less and stay sane to manage my tiredness.
I had a big huge lesson once and I’ve learn that very well.
Alcohol + Tiredness = BIG NO! NO!
So, I layan the musics and the crazy people around me dancing their night away.
3AM came quickly without us knowing, the lights at Zouk light up from its dim dark state.
1/4 of Johnny was consumed and the leftover, kept in custody.
Took the usual slumber chit chat and slow exit and next thing I know, I’m in the car already, driving back home.
A message came, and it reads:
One person RM 93. RM 764 divide by 8 (I was speechless for a few seconds)
Whoa! Clubbing in Zouk has became more expensive or is it just me not clubbing so often to not know the actual price to pay?
RM 93 for one night!!
I mean, the company was great, the drinks were more than enough for me.
But, RM 93! Good gracious!
Now, I know why you are broke Nads…
Please stop spending so much on such ‘sin’ to your pocket and liver!
Instead, spend them shopping or having a good meal with me.
I’m sure you can get some nice quicksilver stuffs for yourself?
Better right?
P/S: Must remind me to pay you… Else I keep on forgetting…
Update: So yeah, now its RM 47 already. Message I got from Facebook…
Hey guys.
The bottle is RM373 so divided by 8 (Pat, Thomas, Rue’s friend, Natalie, two of Nat’s friends, my cousin, and me) so it’s about RM47 per person.
But, I will pay you more than that la.. 
Blanc Le Club @ Asian Heritage Row
Jan 8th
I’m sure many of you have heard about this new club, Blanc Le Club.
I’ve written about their opening on the 17th December 2008 previously.
Taking over the space which used to be Atrium, this club’s concept is Chic.
Once you enter, on your right, you will two sofa seats space.
The music in this club is loud, because of the smaller space they have here. I think, I will go deaf when the max the beat of the music here. Guess that’s what clubbing is all about eh?
They have quite a big dance floor. Don’t compare to the other clubs, the dance floor space here can accommodate quite a number of people. Given, it’s not a huge club itself.
Beside the dance floor, there is a huge VIP area. Very chic…
Then, the other opposite is where the crowd convene and a bar to churn out every night’s demand for alcohol.
Up and above, is the DJ console, where the picture you saw above.
I just like the lighting here already!!!
There is a ’sky-bridge’ in Blanc. This bridge connects the two separated ends of the 1st floor of the club. AND, this mini bridge is a danger for the ladies with mini skirt.
There is also a bar upstairs to churn out ‘unlimited’ supplies of alcohol too…
So yeah! There you go, Blanc at Asian Heritage Row.
My summary is that, this is a small club that delivers both service and music. Don’t need to say about ladies, as this club attract ladies with its current setup.
I leave you here with the numbers to call should you want to know more about Blanc. Don’t ask me, as I’ve just another visitor to Blanc.
