4Play: Dance to the Phuture

A rainy night, but people are still lining up just to get into Zouk. The queue for guest list was ridiculously long until the entrance on the main road. Those with invites just went on swiftly.

Joining the queue in the rain. Luckily Edric found an umbrella on the floor. IMG_0229Mainroom: ZoukIMG_0237Phuture – pronouns as future, not ‘pucu’IMG_0271

A pretty interesting night for the long awaited new, revamped Zouk. Now I can have all different music within one night, one place. As a RnB die hard fan, my loyalty belongs to [4Play] by DJ Goldfish on Thursdays.

The downside: space is very limited and the ceiling is too low for most of the area except dance floor. Feels claustrophobic at times.

Sony / Canon?

Guys, need some help here. I’m contemplating whether to get the Sony T-77 or Canon Ixus 870is camera.

Sony T-77sony77  Canon IXUS 870isixus backixus front

I love the slide feature of Sony where I can snap pictures immediately I take it out of the pocket. But on the other hand, the picture quality, color wise of Canon is much better. I had an IXUS 70 but got robbed. Shall I keep to Canon or switch to Sony?

Can you keep a Secret?

Yes, of course. But not this one.

She’s the unique combination of both style and substance. Featuring a lightweight and durable Carbon Fiber casing with scratch resistant  Tempered Glass, this is style that lasts.

The new LG Secret

lg-secret-kf750-a2

Last Sunday was the first party, a series of get together by Tongue in Chic and LG Secret @ Palate Palate, Bukit Ceylon.

Different from the commercialized events where guest are entertained by MC, performances and contests. This series of party is more like a lifestyle chill out session. No speeches, no mascots running around, and no stuck up celebrities trying to be seen. Just chill~!

Free flow cocktails, Shanghai Hennessy and forgot name, but taste like Mojitos. Finger food served too for hungry people like me. Loves the mussels. Yummie!

Through out the event, they are a few girls walking around with the Secret phone for whoever interested in experiencing the real phone.

Since it is a themed party, guest are dressed in Edie Sedgewick style (think of mini dressed over black leggings topped with chandelier earrings). Edie is Andy Warhol’s superstar, thus pop art photography is one of the highlights too.

Sit back, face the lights and snap. renee taking photo Voila~!image2

There are also boards around the upstairs for guest to draw on. Rene drew a ‘orang lidi’, Eddy hang it up, becomes Hang Man and drew “E Man”.

I signed a few stars too. may conteng!!!For more information regarding the upcoming parties throughout November, send your full name, IC and mobile number to us@tonguechic.com

    The next party is on Sat 22.11.08 @ Frangipani, Bukit Ceylon. Dress like Marlene Dietrich (think blazers, ties, fedoras and brogues) and see ya!

    Can’t keep it? Own it.

M-Circle Club Launch

The new club, tucked inside Starhill, KL downtown, is meant to feel like a luxe high up hangout. Mood lighting, velvet sofas, and mirrors dance floor decorate the posh place along with art lighting installations and seven dragons all around it.

An on-site bartender ensure top-class cocktails. Bottle service is available at the tables and includes the house signature: hot baby hot and cold baby cold tequilas. Still hungry? Small bites courtesy of chic eatery Lecka Lecka Restaurant downstairs are also served until late.

As for that circular motif, it’s elegant yet understated, from the club’s architecture around the entrance of Starhill facing Pavilion on 2nd (Explore) floor design, (perfect for runways) to velvety half rounded sofas. Both ends of the quarter round circle are private areas designed for private parties.

 

The entrance

To keep the bridge-and-tunnel crowd at bay, classy dress is expected, and there’s an exclusive door for entry.

DSC02706The bars: Five different bars – Whisky (single malt), Tequila, Sake, Wine + Champagne and Vodka (Grey Goose). DSC02707The lounge area for chilling with softer music to ease talking.

MACIP2008 – The Sun

The sun 

We were briefed to bring beauty products to this interview.

When we put out all our stuff for pictures. I had a mixture of everything. Kelly brought all her own company’s skincare. Kamen shocked us with only 3 products (makeup remover, cleanser and toner). Well, she is blessed with beautiful skin. All these while she has not been using any more product than cleanser. After joining this pageant, she added a makeup remover to her regime. I envy her!

No matter what products you put on your face, the main factor is to get enough sleep and lots of water. *gulp* I just finished 2 glasses of warm water…what about you?

Prawn Search, ended up with Goat

I've never been a big fan of cooking shows. Consequently, my grasp of cooking world is a little hazy. All I know is to order and eat.

For help, I turn to mum =D

We headed to Chow Kit Pasar to get some cheap and fresh prawns. The experience was quite clumsy because I wore a slippery pair of sandals *doink*

Unfortunately, all the bigger prawns were gone by the time we got there, about 1.30pm. I searched the whole wet market but could only find a handful of leftover sea prawns. =(

On the bright side, mum got a huge papaya for only RM 4.00.
Do you know how to pick a nice papaya?
Look for those which is FAT and curvy.

And she 'ta pao' her favourite sup kambing. Located just outside Chow Kit wet market beside a textile shop with yellow sign board name "Sutra Rashidah". Same row with the Fire Station. A huge bowl of sup kambing is just for RM 3 - 4. Opens at noon until midnight.

The stall with blue and white stripe tent in the picture. Goat soup, Chicken soup and varieties of side dishes to go with the soup.

Well, looks like I have to eat out for dinner. My bad, I promised to cook something. Heading out to M Circle Opening @ Starhill, KL. It used to be Tiffin Bay, a cafe but Mike turn it into a club. Yeay, a new place to hang out at night!

S.O.S

Hour 0815

Awaken by the ache in the abdomen. I quickly hurried to the toilet. Before I knew it, I was vomiting and my throats sore due to highly acidic liquid coming from my stomach.

About 15 minutes later, there was nothing left in my body to be extracted. My hands and feet were so weak I can hardly walk back to my room. So, I stumbled onto the nearest comfortable zone, the sofa in the living room.

There I was freezing in cold, consumed by the intestinal disorder. With all my last strength and breath, I yelled for my mum. Waked by panic, she hurried to me and ask what is wrong. The last thing I remember was looking at her while she rubbed her eyes open. Then, I collapsed.

In my dreams, I was looking for answer for all this physical suffering. I traced back my food consumption yesterday. The last thing I ate was a chocolate cake at Delicious with Wai-Sum.

Hour 1300

Covered with a blanket and positioned comfortably on my sofa, I was back from my dreams and still pretty blur. My voice echoed after me and no reply. I am home alone.

To clarified my question in my dreams, I reached for my phone and called Wai-Sum. Du du...du du...du du... This cannot be happening! My phone is barred due to excessive usage. Gosh, what a day. My only connection to the world is through the internet but none is online.

Looking at my schedule, I can't just stay here and starve till someone comes home. Thus, I decided to write it here and whoever sees this...Please call me to ask if I need help. Fingers crossed on my on foot expedition today as I can't locate my car keys again.

My destinations for the day would be at Jalan Petaling, KL to fix my dress, Times Square to return Biggie's stylus, and last Midvalley to buy makeup remover.

Before bed habits

Go shopping whenever I get my pay cheque. Eating high sugar desserts. Talking during a movie.

I have lots of habits. One of them is logging onto Facebook/Email before I go to bed.

I always thought that social networking sites are the culprits of networking that will put people in dilemmas. There was a point of time I stop logging into all these networking stuff for 1.5 years. But, ...why would I turn down all my friends to keep in touch with me just because of just a small problem. I had the same feeling last night, deleting my account.

I stayed up all night thinking of the same matter over and over again. It didn't resolve until the sun shine into my room in the morning and I realize it is enough. For the first time in my life, I choose to continue doing something I don't like, WAIT. The usual me would say goodbye, CIAO!

I have faith, I know it is worth the wait. Good things will come for those who wait.

*yawn* o'nitey!

Back to the old days

I'm no stranger to KL clubbing scene.

In fact, I used to frequent the R n B nights. But, as I aged, I find it difficult to pull myself together...dressing up to be out and about. Well, somehow or rather...I just have the feeling to be at Saturday Night Live - SNL.

I bump into these guys at the entrance of Velvet Underground, Zouk.
Edric's colleague + Edric + ::kyanmay:: + :wai-sum: + FunkZu

The ritual, taking pictures in yellow dimmed lightings aka. Toilet.

Oh, Vincent is here too!


:: kyanmay :: + David

Presenting, Mr. Tomato Face, FunkZu.
Woohoo, I spend an hour movin' movin' on the dance floor. Tonight, it feels just like the old days. The DJ-ing by Goldfish, the partner in crime, Wai-Sum and a few coincidence.

Dear Technology Diary

Technology is such a wonder.

Soon, I can keep and access all my documents through my mobile phone. Thanks to Microsoft, and Chris, who works there. Finally, I found an amusing yet reliable blog for updates on the latest technology @ TechTimes.


P/S: Chris, RM 300 can only contribute to maybe your socks and ties section of your wardrobe =p

Dance party meets rock concert meets fashion show.

Nuyou celebrates 15th Anniverysary on 31.10.2008 with performances to fashion shows by Eric Chaw, Z Chen, Eric Lim and Landy Wen.

Of course, the designers ranging from Daniel Chong, Khoon Hooi, Jonathan Cheng, Lester Wong, Melinda Looi, Michael Ong, Scott Chu, Sonny San, Venie Tee and Villiam Ooi.

Fortunately, MACIP 2008 Finalist were invited to attend this spectacular one of a kind fashion show cum concert.

The show started with Landy striking a glamorous pose on a box and performed a sizzling hot dance with futuristic attire.

I've to say it...BRAVO~! This guy can sing both man's and woman's voice simultaneously!

Token of appreciation to all the designers and artistes for putting up such a great show!
At the end of the concert, we got some pictures at the red carpet area too. KT, he is 6' 2" feet tall. And I ain't standing beside him =p

Renee (MACIP 2008 Finalist aka. partner in crime) + Yan (one of the Top50 in MACIP 2008)
I missed the Nuyou AfterParty @ BBQ Bar by DJ Xu Tag. Sorry Xu, I know I promised to be there.

Next destination was RED @ Damansara Heights. I had a great time chilling and laughing with Joyce and Renee.
Then, later...we found out that David is coming from Mion, the lady boss. After much debate, they guys concluded that David look like Daniel W. Well, you judge by yourself. =D
