Artist Lineup for Arthur’s Day 2010 in Kuala Lumpur (Updated!)

Posted by IcedNyior on August 20, 2010  |  7 Comments

Its that time of the year again! When the chorus of “To Arthur!” will be heard on the streets. Last year 15,000 people rocked to the thumping, trademark tunes of multi-platinum band, the Black Eyed Peas. This year promises a pumped up, hip-hop, rock and R&B energized concert with back-to-back electrifying performances!

Last Tuesday, 17 Aug, I was invited to a Media Launch (as a blogger) where the acts for Arthur’s Day 2010 was revealed! The event was held in @Live in Sunway Pyramid, a newly opened club. Took this pic of the goodie bag when i got home, they gave a glass and a keychain. Cute touch with the glass kan?

The night started off with pints of Guinness. I liked the fact that they had both from the tap and in the bottle cause I know picky drinkers who actually prefer one over the other. After a couple of glasses, Serena C and Adam Carruthers came on stage to kick off the night. (pic credit to The Jessicat)

Soon after, Mark Jenner, The Marketing Director of Guinness Anchor Marketing Sdn Bhd, came on stage to amp up the atmosphere and finally announce who the main artiste is. It was none other than, TIMBALAND!!! The super-producer has created hits for top artists such as Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, Destiny’s Child, Ludacris, Jay-Z and many others. He has also successfully collaborated with numerous music icons such as Madonna, Leona Lewis, Katy Perry, Keri Hilson, 50 cent, etc.

New Arthur’s Day 2010 Artist Lineup!!!

Sean Kingston – After Beautiful Girls made history as one of the fastest ascents up the charts ever, this singer/rapper scored three more top ten hits with Me Love, Take You There and There’s Nothing’. His self-titled debut Sean Kingston topped charts in 21 countries and sold over 1 million copies worldwide.

Flo Rida - Exploded into the music scene with Low (feat T-Pain) in late 2007. This blockbuster debut single picked up a People’s Choice Award and two Grammy nominations. To follow, the lead single of second album, Right Around, went on to become the fastest million-selling digital song ever.

Colby O’Donis – Wrote Mouse in the House for the soundtrack of Stuart Little when he was 9. Started producing music since 12 and, by 14, was opening shows for the likes of Backstreet Boys, Brian McKnight and 98 Degrees. Hard to miss now at 21 with his latest hit What You Waiting For hogging the airtime of Malaysian radio.

Pop Shuvit – Asian’s leading Hip-Hop Rock band with successful releases throughout Asia notably in Japan, Thailand and Singapore.

Thaitanium – With unique blends of Thai language with American Hop-Hop’s street vocabulary, Thaitanium is a popular trio that even performed at the MTV Asia Awards.

MizzNina – Touted as “Malaysia’s Hip Hop Princess”, she recently launched her album which includes the heavily played duet with Colby O’ Donis “What You Waiting For”.

DJ Fuzz – This music mixer has always been one of my favourite DJs from back when I was actively clubbing. Looking forward to see what he has to offer!

What a packed night I had on Wednesday. See the post title also so long. haha!

First was the Yahoo! Youreka! Party at KL Live (formally where ruums club was). Its my first time in KL Live (or even ruums, for that matter). Its a really nice open space perfect for events with a huge hall with a stage. The VIP/Media area was at an upper deck.

Best part about the VIP area is the finger food and of course free drinks! Woot! Martell and Beer, cheesesticks, salad, pasta, cakes, etc.

Travelling and Centro Club

Posted by IcedNyior on July 19, 2008  |  No Comments

Been a while since i wrote a proper post. Many things are going through my head and in my life now. Good things, not-so-good things, life changing things. Nothing life-threatening or dangerous tho.

My trip to KK was a blast (will write about Mag’s wedding and our Manukan Island Getaway soon). It was a great way to get away from everything that was happening in KL. Someone was really surprised I was in KK (coz I didn’t tell lots of ppl that I was going) so much so that he remarked, “wah, jauhnye membawa diri?” to which I just laughed. But honestly, it was a great opportunity to spend time with old friends like Mag, Tim, Derek and Rach and also meet new ones like Megan & Benny. Should have stayed there longer but finances did not permit it.

Came back on a Friday evening to KL. Rested the whole of Saturday then went to Kuala Kangsar for Puteri’s and Poker’s.opps..Aznin’s kenduri. I slept most of the way there and coming back. It was a really nice and simple wedding. Its the first time I was early to a kenduri. LOL! (Note to self : NEVER let Afdzal drive long distance if I’m chipping in for the fuel. He drives really really fast and the petrol also finishes really really fast. I think we spent more than rm50 on fuel alone)

I *might* be taking a 2nd degree. Umm.studies aren’t looking too good now. Don’t want to talk about it :(

On another note, I went to Centro (its this club in KL Central) last nite with my two of my classmates and friends. A girls night out with lots of dancing, sweating and drinking.  After that we lepaked at Pelita Bangsar – which at first I tot was Pelita at Jln Ampang then had to pusing back to Bangsar.

My review on Centro (since its my first time there). The area is pretty big with a big platform as the dancefloor. The bar was right in the middle so not much pushing and shoving to get your drinks. The price of the drinks was also not that bad : 1 glass Black Label + ginger ale (was very happy they had ginger ale – weirdly some clubs don’t) = RM 25.30 and 2 tequila shots = RM18 each. The DJ was not bad – R&B songs most of the night then house/techno music after 2am or so. Parking is also really convinient (a big plus!) and only RM4. Sorry, no pics this time. Too lazy to take photos plus my feet were killing me.

Have a great weekend ahead people!

One Night at Laundry

Posted by IcedNyior on June 23, 2008  |  2 Comments

I went for a late dinner (around 10pm) for some good Arab food in Al-rawsha restaurant with Bobby (he used to always comment on my blog before) – a friend who I’ve not met for some time. Mixed grill and bread. Yums! Their portions seemed bigger than previous, so we were both oh so stuffed. We had a good time catching up. Lain kali buat lagi ek?

Around 12.30am, on the way back, I texted Aree asking where she was and the girls were all hanging out in Laundry. So with my jeans, simple shirt and flats I headed down from Ampang to Laundry bar and illegally nicely parked my car at the hill before entering the entrance.

Apparently there was more then just the girls – there was Fariz (who was in KL for the weekend and going back to Johor on Sunday), Ayman, Jazzy, Sam (Ayman’s friend), Sindra, Elaine (Aree’s friend), Kaduk (Aree’s Sarawakian friend) and of course Pam (who just came back from a nasi lemak session) and Aree.

A bottle of Smirnoff Red vodka and some RedBull was half finished and waiting for me. After polishing that one at around 2.30am and we continued upstairs at Sanctuary with another bottle of Smirnoff Red. At this point Aree, Pam & Jazzy left to Aree’s place. At 3am the club closed and we were kindly asked to drink outside. LOL! So we ended up drinking outside in the dark with a bucket of ice and two bottles of mixers and chit chatting.

At 4am we were asked to leave. LOL! With 1/4 bottle of Smirnoff Red left, we decided to go to Ayman’s hse to continue drinking after picking up a bottle of Absolut Pear from my hse and Coke from 7E. So yea, basically we spent the whole nite drinking. Fariz, Elaine and Sindra went back earlier but Kaduk and I slept over at Ayman’s coz I promised to send Kaduk back to Mt Kiara the next day. Finally left in the afternoon.

Lots more pictures in my facebook here.

Out with the girls

Posted by IcedNyior on June 20, 2008  |  No Comments

I finally quit my moping around at home and went out on Wednesday. First was tea with a guy friend with whom I’ve been postponing meeting coz of time constraints. Then I met up with Pam, Aree, Jazzy, Ayman & Taufan at Empress Cafe, Curve. I had a bottle of shisha. Wee~ shisha makes me happy :P Then lepaked and chit-chatted with Pam and her friends at Idaman till around 2am plus.

On Thursday we woke up and Aree came over and we had lunch at this nice place in KJ that serves N9 food. Sedap (no pics tho coz we were starving and instantly attacked the food). Then we went over to Bangsar for a pampering session – threading my eyebrows which looked totally bushy and wild and also cutting my hair at PeekABoo which is getting way too long and heavy. Didn’t do much to it, just trimmed it 2 inches and layered it. But I love this new hairstyle, lighter and easier to maintain i think.

That night we painted the town red by deciding to club in Ghetto Heaven @ Zouk. Met up with Jazzy and Ayman there. Taufan also stopped by for a bit. It was just us girls (and Ayman) and it was fun. Not to mention that girls get 2 drinks free and pam gave me hers so I was downing 3 tequila shots on top of 1 jug of Long Island Tea and some Vodka lime.

Went home kinda early, chit chat and had a smoke of the good stuff (lol!) before drifting off into dreamless sleep. Two solid days with the girls has really rejuvenated my spirits. I love you babes >:D<

Pictas! Surprisingly we didn’t take a lot. I was too busy drinking to take and the others were too busy enjoying themselves

Playing Unreal Tournament in class

Posted by IcedNyior on March 8, 2008  |  No Comments

Its been about 2 weeks since I started my final sem. Class so far has been so-so, lots of cancelled classes, one or two missed classes, some classes which lasted only 30 minutes – which is super frustating because it takes me 30-45 minutes to get there (almost 2 hours to and fro).

But the classes this year are fun (well except for that class with Mr H which is a bit boring). We’re doing Character Modeling using 3dsmax & then we’re doing Virtual Reality using Unreal Editor. Yep, the editor for that game Unreal Tournament. First half of the class was spent playing UT. Haha!

Last week, he took 2 days of work to spend time with me. Aww..so sweet I know :P Lots of laughing, talking, eating (well especially the eating), walking around, watching movies, watching DVDs and starbuck-ing (as usual). It was fun.

Speaking of fun, I’m going out with Pam and the gang tonight at Frangipani so see you guys around. Have a good weekend!

p/s: Vote? Vote? I’m underaged and unregisted. LOL!

Sky Bar @ Trader’s Hotel

Posted by IcedNyior on January 10, 2008  |  8 Comments

Micah wanted to meet up with us at Sky Bar so we made a move around 11pm from my place. Its my second time in Sky Bar and I think that its a really good place chill with a bunch of friends. Drinks are slightly pricy tho, being a hotel bar – a bottle of tiger beer is RM24++ and a cocktail (which was not so nice and watered down) was RM30++ for a small glass. Parking is RM7 at night till 2am then its rm1 per every half hour.

The view from the bar is absolutely stunning. Its an open air poolside bar on the 33rd floor so you can see the whole of KLCC park and its surrounding areas all lighted up. And as you can see from the first picture, the environment is really nice and soothing.

All in all, it was a great night, which is perhaps enhanced due to the amount of alcohol we had – 3 beers, 1 cocktail, 1 bottle of red wine and 2 bottles of white wine. Hehe! It was great hanging out and catching up with friends we haven’t met in years :)

New Year Roadtrip

Posted by IcedNyior on January 4, 2008  |  3 Comments

Eventually I didn’t go to that party I mentioned earlier. I gave the tickets to my sis who assured me she was going but eventually didn’t go either. Girl, if you didn’t want to, I wouldn’t have got you the tickets and two other more deserving people would have had the chance to go for free. Tsk!

And so I ended up in a bar in Subang. Jam-free and ‘unlimited’ alcohol. What more could you ask for in a New Year’s Eve celebration? We went early, around 9.30pm and started drinking soon after we arrived. It was my fren’s fren’s wife’s birthday on the 1st so we had chocolate cake :)

It was a fun and casual night. Drank quite a lot – coz everyone was trying to get me drunk. Haha! But it was good nonetheless. Went back to my fren’s place quite early, around 2am or so – can’t quite rmbr what time. I was sleepy already and all I wanted was to crawl between the sheets and sleep. Thats why I don’t really like to drink a lot – I get sleepy.

The next morning I had to leave early, around 8-ish in the morning. Too freaking early after a night out drinking. But I had no choice, the owner of the hse wanted to go to the driving range and halau-ed me *pouts*. Grabbed some KFC before going home (I skipped dinner the night before) – I heart you KFC for having your menu 24 hrs a day unlike Macdonalds which has a separate menu for breakfast.

By the time I got home and mandi and all I didn’t feel sleepy at all so I ended up watching episodes of How I Met Your Mother. Then around 4pm I was chatting with a friend,

Me : Im bored and slightly hung over
Fren : Im bored too
Me : Lets go out
Fren : Where? KL so boring, plus they’ll be lots of people
Me: Yea..and its soo hot. Hmm…oh! Lets go to genting :D But you drive
Fren : Okay

Going up was ok but once we reached the top, it was so freaking cold and misty. You can hardly see 10 meters ahead of you. Eventually we decided to check into the First World instead of risking the dangerous drive back. So thats how I ended up in Genting on the 1st.

So how was your new Year celebrations?

Clubbing Vs Pubbing

Posted by IcedNyior on December 30, 2007  |  3 Comments

What’s your plan for new years?

I made plans with my friend that I might join him and his frens pubbing in Subang if I have no plans. I thought that was the perfect plan because it wont be as packed as in KL and I wont hv to dress up. Plus he’ll belanja :P (i think…) It’ll be a simple and casual evening drinking with frens to celebrate the new year.

But. now im in a dilemma.

I just won 2 free tickets to the Midzone Countdown Party I wrote about some time ago here. Tickets are RM75 (presale) and RM100 (door price). The Lineup is also good : VJ Sort from Kagawa Japan, DJ Matthew White from Hungary and DJ Stoneface & Terminal (Euphonic Germany). The bad thing is, its in Midvalley and that area will be bloody jam.

So howwwwwwwwww?????
