Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge Party
In Kuala Lumpur, for one of the biggest parties of the year!
First I want to show you my hotel room, because I thought it was really pretty and princessy.
I was put up at Palace of the Golden Horses near KL's MINES. Not in the city center but closer to the party venue.
True to it's regal name, stallions featured everywhere. Lamps. Table legs. Bathroom toiletries.
Now check out this slick "insider access" pre-party video featuring Vodafone McLaren Mercedes™ F1 driver Jenson Button, hosts, DJs and myself!
Night falls and singer Reshmonu gave a few of us a lift in his car from the hotel. We got very lost on the way because this place is really far out! The scene was already buzzing when we arrived.
The appearance of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes™ F1™ driver, Jenson Button, undoubtedly contributed to the excitement.
Button, who won the season-opening race in Melbourne, Australia, also signed the JOHNNIE WALKER® “JoinThePact.com" signature wall to pledge to Never Drink and Drive.
One of the hosts Hannah Tan joined in.
Two lucky Facebook Grand Prize contest winners stepped onto the massive LED stage to meet Jenson personally, as well as ask him a question of their choice each. Jenson charmingly answered their questions, and signed exclusive JOHNNIE WALKER® and Vodafone McLaren Mercedes™ team merchandise, presented by my pal and brand manager Charles James Wright.
JOHNNIE WALKER® set-up an experimental bar aptly named BLACK FLAVOUR LAB, where World Class mixologists treated guests to the familiar JOHNNIE WALKER® BLACK LABEL® with new and evocative serves using the theme of green coconut, unlocking the signature big bold flavours of JOHNNIE WALKER® in a fresh way. Guests were amazed to find that coconut water can really amplify some of the complex flavours of BLACK LABEL® in a way they all had not expected but most enjoyed. Guests were also given a visually-arresting serve involving smoke and dry ice, as well as an extremely popular batch-made coconut and BLACK LABEL® sorbet.
As usual, the JOHNNIE WALKER® BLACK CIRCUIT LOUNGE featured an array of cool, interactive digital experiences, from RFID-enabled invitations that allowed guests to instantly upload their arrival and various party activities on Facebook, to fun photo booths and an ultra-realistic video simulation called Drive Of A Lifetime that put you right into the seat of a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes™ F1™ driver preparing for a race, with the resulting personalised video instantly uploaded on Facebook as well.
Hanging with DJ Politik and DJ SmithAgentSmith.
With friends from Singapore who also flew up
My astounded face: World Champion Close-Up Magician Shawn Farquhar (right), flown in all the way from Canada, mesmerised guests with some incredible sleight-of-hand and some truly amazing illusions while entertaining from table to table. This man had cards coming out of his mouth, and pendants instantaneously made from fires, right before my very eyes! :O
JOHNNIE WALKER® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ was introduced to party guests by revealing a luxurious GOLD CELEBRATION BAR at the event.
We had a chance to toast with the extravagant flavours of this luxurious blend and even try the whisky in exquisite cocktails such as the Fresh Gold served in a champagne flute.
The JOHNNIE WALKER® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ arrived at the BLACK CIRCUIT LOUNGE for the first time for all guests to enjoy a special spectacular show.. This surprise began with a specially put together soundtrack during Smith Agent Smith’s set that featured a contemporary mix of tracks with “Gold” hints and references, kicking off with Kanye West’s Gold Digger.
This song was followed by a flash mob of dancers that suddenly removed their outer attire to reveal gold outfits within and a kabuki-styled curtain drop on stage that revealed sumptuous gold drapes where the moment before they had been black. The whole sequence ended with a gold confetti blizzard that had guests awash in a sea of gold and JOHNNIE WALKER® Brand Ambassadors and service staff providing guests with JOHNNIE WALKER® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ cocktails and bottle service through the rest of the night.
A GOLD CELEBRATION moment!
Backstage with the DJs:
Awesome international DJs, cool interactive digital experiences, a gorgeous crowd, and palate-stimulating cocktails all combined to make this a Johnnie Walker party to remember

Plain Vanilla
Often, I like to keep my look simple, unadorned and fuss-free.
Some might find it too "vanilla" - in other words boring.
But many a times, the overlooked Plain Vanilla is a sweetly familiar flavor, straightforward, unpretentious, free of conv0lution.
I'm guessing that is the story behind the name of a cute little cupcake shop my friend Nat and I discovered in Holland Village last weekend!
On the second floor of a shop house sharing a space with a hair salon (cut, dye & some tea anyone?), the tiny bakery is run by a chatty couple. Woody interiors and colorful displays of ingredients with small potted plants lend it a rustic, country sort of feel. You see the ovens, the flour, the heavenly baking mess in full glory - giving one a warm sentiment that you're about to partake of home-made goodness made with TLC.
The 8 flavors of cupcakes to choose from looked delicious.
We tried some. They're really sweet, but I have a huge sweet tooth so I was perfectly happy. My favorite was the Cinnamon Brown Sugar!

Resurrection Sunday: Seeing the Face of Jesus
Here is a compelling video to watch in celebration of today's occasion.
It is a History Channel documentary featuring the work of top-level scientists and computer artists who use the latest technology to recreate the face of Jesus in 3D based on the Shroud of Turin.
The Shroud of Turin, a blood-stained linen that many believe was the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, has been questioned for centuries on its authenticity. The ancient shroud contains a faint impression of the front and back of a human body, along with blood, dirt and water stains. But new rigorous scientific tests have served to verify it, and the team featured on "The Real Face Of Jesus" have no doubt the Shroud is real.
"Is this the artifact of a real person or not? Definitely it is," said Ray Downing, the main digital illustrator featured.
He added, "I have a lot of information about that face and my estimation is we're pretty darn close to what this man looked like."
What I found most amazing, was the team's scientific explanation for how such an interesting image ended up on the shroud 2000 years ago.
Hint: it has to do with light rays. And without the advance equipment we have today, back then the effect could only have been the result of.........
When I saw this documentary last year, I was blown away, and it reaffirmed my beliefs in Jesus's complete, finished work at the cross. Plus, gotta admit He was pretty good-looking
Tomorrow I shall talk more about the significance of Jesus's death and resurrection, and what it means for us who believe, because it is truly such Good News! So happy!
Enjoy your Easter Sunday xoxo

Skyve Elementary Bistro & Bar
Skyve: (verb) To waste time at work or at school, slack off, play hooky.
Which is exactly what my girlfriends and I like to do. Except I prefer to call it "regaining my focus with idyllic talk and good food while a hundred other work matters can wait".
Things haven't changed much since my days as a student
Located in the old Monk's Hill campus, nestled away in a corner of Newton, Skyve’s charming surrounds transport guests to nostalgic, carefree school days. Elements that elevate the quirky vibe include an ala carte menu that is fashioned after a thesis with gibberish on the cover for a cheeky twist. The bar nibbles menu is known as Recess Time and paper placemats resemble worksheets that are filled with mischievous ramblings to entertain guests while waiting for their meals.
An old-school charm also punctuates the interior – think wall dividers with patterns reminiscent of brick tiles from circa 1970s, quaint wooden benches and marble counter tops. Skyve is made up of different spaces to meet various dining needs. There is an alfresco area with benches and a swing for those who prefer a breezy meal, a lounge area with rocking chairs for fun-seekers to unwind, an indoor dining area with mismatched classroom-like chairs and a bar area for those who just want a quick tipple.
Self-described as mod bistro, the food here is a bevy of familiar, comforting flavours prepared with modern culinary techniques by master of sous-vide, Chef Vincent Teng. The all-day dining concept also means that you can pop by anytime, be it for a hearty breakfast, brunch with the family, a casual business lunch, romantic dinner or after work drinks with colleagues as Skyve’s very own walk-in glass wine cellar is home to over 70 labels.
Eggs Benedict. Only 1 egg though!
Was recommended their TEXTURES OF HAZELNUT & CHOCOLATE CAKE. Swoon-worthy.
I was charmed by their numerous witty plays on the "skyve" theme. Menu categories include names such as "The Snoozy Brunch", "The Sluggish Lunch" and "The Dilly Dally Appetizers".
Went there another evening, it's quite nice for a casually romantic date.
It's storming with a heavy downpour outside now, and I feel led to share this, especially after we sang it last night.
A breathtaking HD time lapse video + an awesome song
Even the orchestra of rain and shouts of thunder are testament to His majesty.
Rejoicing that an amazing and loving King came down to die for us and redeem us today! ♥
(and yup, you get a public holiday for that ;P)
I see Your face in every sunrise The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes The world awakens in the light of the day I look up to the sky and say You’re beautiful
I see Your power in the moonlit night Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright We are amazed in the light of the stars It’s all proclaiming who You are You’re beautiful, You're beautiful
I see you there hanging on a tree You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne Soon we will be coming home You’re beautiful, you're beautiful
When we arrive at eternity’s shore Where death is just a memory and tears are no more We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring Your bride will come together and we’ll sing You’re beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful
I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

Advertorial Feature
As girls, we have to take care of ourselves and pay more attention to hygiene. Call it gender bias, but no one really bats an eyelid at a man with unshaven underarms , whereas a hairy lady who smells funky would elicit many a disgusted frown.
I love the glowing feeling of being clean and fresh. Besides meticulous scrubs, cleansing and moisturizing of my face and body, there is one important area that I realized many women, including myself, have neglected:
THE V-ZONE
This is the most feminine part of our bodies, it’s necessary to keep it healthy and clean!
And let’s be honest – THINGS HAPPEN DOWN THERE.
(Sorry guys, you can stop reading here and scroll down to my next blog post if you want now!)
- peeing
- menstruation
- discharges
- bacteria
All this can lead to:
- itching
- fishy odours
- yeast infections
- alteration of pH levels
Extra care should be taken to not only keep your V-zone clean, but to maintain its natural pH levels for a healthy balance of vaginal flora.
What you need is a dedicated feminine cleanser:
Lactacyd ® Intimate Daily Feminine Hygiene Wash.
Maintaining the vagina’s natural acidity inhibits external bacterial growth and prevents infections. Regular body wash isn’t good enough. In fact, liquid body washes, which are alkaline in nature, strip away the natural acidic protective layer of the V-zone. Sometimes, they even remove the natural oils from the sensitive external vaginal area, causing dryness and irritation.
That is why I’ve been using Lactacyd when I shower to wash my intimate areas.
Formulated with lactic acid, it maintains the delicate pH balance of your V-zone. Lactic acid and lactoserum also promotes the growth of good bacteria, lactobacillus acidophilus, to protect the vagina against infections.
Natural milk extracts or lactoserum derived from cow’s milk moisturizes your V-zone’s delicate skin
Hypoallergenic, which makes it suitable for all skin types.
***This quality product is manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis - the largest pharmaceutical company in Europe, and the fourth largest worldwide.
Lactacyd® Daily Feminine Wipes come in handy when you are on the go.
One pack easily fits into my bag when I’m out. After using the washroom I use a sheet to wipe and refresh myself. These are especially great during your period when things get, um... messy!
Seriously, think about it, just plain toilet paper isn’t enough when it comes to effectively removing dirt and bacteria.
After using Lactacyd’s products for my intimate areas, the feeling is lovely and I also don’t get irritations anymore. I’ve realized the importance of having a special, suitable product for cleansing the V-zone, the extra steps taken are worth it in maintaining a refreshing good feeling.
I'M A TOTAL CONVERT!
Don't you want to feel totally confident down there too?
