We started the night with a feast at Shook and of course, partner in crime includes Dom, Riesling, watermelon martini, and margarita.

Needless to say how drunk were we…the video explains it all.

Alex + Fei + Hoe Mun + Mandy busy entertaining us with LIVE! MTV, music mixture from the 70’s till the latest hitz.

Wai Sum + Suet Yee + I were laughing hysterically, till our face went numb.

Jiok busy capturing the classic moment.

Kai Ma K.O. after 72 hours drinking non stop!

Weng Chiew + Phui Yee, although you are not around, but always in our heart! Did I miss anyone else?

I’ve been thinking all day…something I have to do but I just can’t figure out what. After a very long day out and about, I got home at about 11ish. As usual, I talk to Renee to conclude my day and she finally cracked the ‘soalan cebu emas’! It is Daniel’s birthday.

Well, trying to be the last one to wish him on his birthday before the clock strikes 12am to 24th Dec 2008.

The next day, I spend my Christmas Eve dinner to make up for my forgetfulness @ LaFite, Shang.

We were speculating that our table is the only one without alcohol. I need to detox!

But my detox plan failed when they serve dessert. Nostalgia, cotton candy on a tree? SWEET! And my first time trying on chilli chocolate, new discovery for a chocoholic.

We were the last to leave the restaurant as he was busy decorating the candles. Happy belated birthday!

His birthday wishes?

It was an awesome night except for Em’s car tank was entirely empty when she reach 7atenine.  Then, two super hero came to our rescue.

Yeay, problem solved! We proceed the night with another party @ Mandarin Oriental, Sultan Club Opening.

We all know the popular stereotype of the artist: gaunt, disheveled, maybe missing an ear, and with a manic gleam in his hungry eyes.

I had the same feeling when I met Witold Flak at The Shanghai Knights @ Shook.

But, despite all the stereotypes. I took the opportunity to shoot with him the next day at the Executive Lounge @ Westin.

He travels with at least four cameras. One antique, one film SLR, one digital SLR for backup and one manual Leica when he walks around. Cool!

It has been long since the last time I saw anyone using films.This is antique. Look from the top, click on the front steel round button and roll! Due to lack of props, we used his black coat and hang it behind me as background. I havta wear his XXL shirt and almost got caught for lighting up the ciggie in the room. After struggling with limited gadgets and impromptu shootings for 5 hours, we decided to give ourselves treats @ Haagen Daz down the road. While walking over, he is always watching at people around. Looking for expressions to shoot. The results are candid portraits devoid of artifice. No stupid fake smiles, manufactured poses, unsightly turtle chins, or deliberate crotch shots.

Check out his collection @ www.flak.pl

Do you always find it hard to commit? To anything.

Every time you passed by those pet store, you’d look at the pup and a certain words uttered out of your mouth and it ain’t cute.

If you’re jonesing for a pet but fear the commitment, find your escape with this opportunity to foster these eight puppies which were born a month ago, left wandering in the constructions site. 

The process is simple, and everything is up to individual discretion: Foster eight puppies and their mum for two months. You’re free from making any long-term time or financial commitments — as pet food will be provided as long as you provide love and shelter to them.

And if you happen to fall in love with Scrappy or Milo, go ahead and adopt him when the pup is ready around January.

See? Commitment doesn’t always bite.

Fashion event of the year at the stroke of midnight? I was wondering in my mind what event is this. It is the wedding of Valiram Group’s youngest, Mukesh Valiram weds Roshan Budhrani.

The wedding was held for 5 days in 5 different hotels, luxuriously. I’m honored to attend such spectacular wedding for 2 nights – Devil Wears Prada @ Ritz and Shanghai Knights @ Shook.

Devil Wears Prada

We arrived at the registration, given a role to play before we get into the hall. I gotta sing Madonna “Like A Virgin” together with Em. Arriving at the entrance, a signage says “Audition”. Huh??? Another clueless girl just doing whatever the people say, go with the flow. Pretty fun though. Serena chopped Em with “Sexy Siren” because she really pulled it off. I was busy capturing the classic moment (video can be found in my Facebook – Video). The emcee started it only at 2am, by that time I was already worn out and yawning away. The introduction was showing the couple LIVE from the hotel room as the gimmick, reality show like where the couple were too tired after a whole long day. I heard the fashion was at 3am and the guest left at about 4.30am. First time ever I attended a wedding that last all night long, although I left soon after they showed the video but still…cool~!

Shanghai Knights

Guest arrives about 9pm but it started about 10.30pm. A lot of them were relatives all the way from Bombay, India.

Running for the event of the year? No doubt, this wedding is a landslide victory.

Arriving at the entrance of KL Plaza, with just a touch of red with my lips and a necklace from the LG Party, to compliment the dress code, Stylo X: Sexy in Red. The guest are ranging from high profile socialites to designers.

Walking up to the venue, the place were covered with red cloth all over and guest has to walk through an exhibition hall before you reach the main hall where the dance floor, sexy couches and free flows are.

KL Plaza is under going revamp which is just the perfect venue for this party’s theme, rundown graffiti warehouse. The walls were sprayed with stylish devil design.

In this picture, the purplish skirt is made out of condoms! In conjunction with the World AIDS day. Kong snapped a few pictures of my friends and I on the red carpet.  Ken Yeoh, my “not gay” friend, pretty much drunk.

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. Mainroom: ZoukPhuture – pronouns as future, not ‘pucu’

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.

Please pardon our ugly faces.

They sneaked us out and brought us to street food. Although I was on diet for the competition but the ‘xiao long bao’ and ‘sen jian bao’ were just resistible! Julie speaks no English and I speak no French, just sign language. From my neighbor country, Kamonluk. Contestant Profile – Around the world, 80 contestants.

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

Sony T-77  Canon IXUS 870is

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?

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

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. Voila~!

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. 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.

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.

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

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?
