Hennessy Artistry 2011' Mist Club & Guinness Arthurs' Day 2011.

Oh, please forgive me, I got kinda lazy so I've decided to put these two posts together. So here it is:

Hennessy Artistry 2011; Mist Club, KL.

FINALLY! My very virgin experience at Hennessy Artistry! I missed out the chance the last time when HA was back in my hometown, Penang cause of some unforeseen circumstances but yes, Hennessy Artistry is back again and this time its in Mist. Well, I wanted to skip this one actually (but obviously I didn't cause I'm writing about it here now, duh) cause I've already promised Jason and Mandy. I'm not a big fan of Hennessy but then I really liked the Hennessy Orange and Apple though. I personally think the mood wasn't really up but I really enjoyed the company.

Guinness Arthur's Day 2011; Sunway Giza.

Again, unfortunately, I will have to admit, I'm not a Guinness person. I only take Guinness if mixed with beer. But hey, I love Arthur. It was a great crowd there, definitely nice to meet up with new people and catch up with several few that I haven seen in ages. So here's to 252 years of success! TO ARTHUR!

The team Advertlets.

To Arthur!

White Water Rafting at Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor.

I'm not sure if you have heard of white water rafting before, but I have been wanting to give it a try ever since Khairie told me about his adventure when I first met him. It then became one of the must-do things for me in my bucket list. I actually have no idea what to expect out of this cause I have tried rafting, kayaking, even canoeing and believe me, white water rafting is way wayyyyyy more fun than those I've mentioned above. Why? Well for starters, you don't even need to spend any energy in paddling. Also, the adrenaline rush when you go through every stream is just simply addictive. Once you've passed your first stream, you'll be wanting more believe me. So what exactly is white water rafting? This is what I get when I googled it before I went for the trip(believe me, try it for yourselves!). 

Suddenly you become Superman!

Or perhaps this little girl flying off to save her kitty cat. Talking about the love for animals.

Or perhaps, someone trying to kidnap everyone on a string?

So was google correct? Hmm partially, but nahh, no worries, none of the above happened. But what really did happen was that the Raja Muda Selangor with his friends were there as one of the patrons. Yep, I'm not kidding, with the police to guard them and all. Anyways, the 6 of us from Advertlets drove down to Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor a couple of weeks back to give all of the above a test to see if its true. We were all excited but with a couple of set backs during the journey (yes, we got lost and the JPJ stopped Jason's car) we were glad to be there after a long drive.

Upon reaching, of cause must camwhore first.

Geared up!

annnndddd... more camwhore-HarryPottie style!

We were then given the most hilarious brief by our guide, Bai. Believe me, he's one hell of a funny guy! See how he gave us a White Water Rafting 101 and be a resemblance of Mr Bean.


That's Bai.




Told you right?

So after the entertaining 15 minutes brief, off we go. There were 6 of us so we Jason and Daniel had to join another couple on the other raft. Excited, we all hopped on the inflatable raft.




And here we go!


Yea, that's me being attentive.

Well, white water rafting is pretty exciting really. We were lucky enough to have fallen out of the raft for 4 times, on purpose definitely. Our captain wanted us to experience falling into the water and believe me, that was the best part. Even Azrin proved that to be right when he smiled only after every fall.



Well other than falling off the raft, ofcause, the best part is navigating your way through the stream. Believe me, its actually kinda easy with experts beside you to guide you through every tight spot and every dangerous stream. Yes, we need duck, paddle and even move around the whole raft as a team to make sure that the raft  sails accordingly.


Teamwork!


Here's when we get stuck in between rocks.


Pit stops!


Thats Jason and Daniel paddling. See Jason's muscles building!


Success! Well, thats a victory thing that we do after successfully passing every stream.

Beautiful huh?

Also, we got to float down the stream at the end of our journey! I loved it. It was rather relaxing to just lie flat looking up at the clear blue skies. Reminds me of the lyrics of "If I die young" by the Band Perry. Even Daniel came up with a survival tale to tell.

Thats his last remaining food!

Mandy and I.

So yes, if you are looking for a good adrenaline rush or even just looking for a teambuilding activity to share with your friends, give white water rafting a try. There are a few in Malaysia that are pretty good but the one nearest to us is ofcause the one at Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor. The streams here are as high as level 5(highest level 6) which is pretty challenging for starters. I loved it whenever the raft falls from the high streams and also whenever the raft flips! That's one off my bucket list, next up? Sky diving?

Survivor shot!

iMovieBuff: Lulla Man.

Yes, the Thais have done it again! Already widely known for its pride, their horror movies, they shine again this time in a whole new genre with Lulla Man. Lulla Man is a story that everyone has definitely heard of, be it their aunts who are going through the situation or probably have heard of their guy friends discussing ways to mischievously escape being caught by their wives or girlfriends after cheating. I'd say I am definitely the first one to disagree with this particular idea, but I couldn't deny the fact that its the reality. But what did Lulla Man had that bought me over, was the fact that they brought reality to the screens with a tinge of humor. So read on now, to see what I think made Lulla Man surprisingly good.

#1. A feel good movie.

With Lulla Man, though you see and experience the lameness Thai jokes, you couldn't help it but to laugh. With their witty scripts and their relatable storyline, it is guaranteed to tickle your funny bone. I went into the cinemas thinking that this Thai comedy would probably be a failure, I exited the hall entertained. Be sure you are tickled with every highs and lows that the boys need to climb just to escape being caught.

See how they smashed a bottle in their head to get out of being questioned by their wives.

Or perhaps hurting the girl that they were cheating with to scare their wives?

#2. Relatability to the audience.

Like I've said, this movie depicts the undeniable truth of how men cheat in today's society. I'm pretty sure everyone can relate to this story be it directly or have heard of. I for one am a victim of it. But nonetheless, I actually think that they too have successfully communicate the reason to why they cheat and how the wives hurt and still put everything in a lighter note. Women have to understand that it is definitely undeniably hard to resist the temptation of a beautiful young lady as compared to the wife that you have known for years now. But of cause, men shouldn't take advantage of their wive's trust and devotion to the family. So yes men, please appreciate your wives and women, do step up your game even if its after marriage cause once the chase stops in a relationship, thats when it all goes down hill.

The boys out having fun after having drugged their wives to a very deep sleep.

A getaway with their wives as an apology.

I think Lulla Man is worth spending 1.5 hours of your day. I'm not lying. Most of the bloggers left with a satisfied smile. But with that say, I think Lulla Man deserve a 5.5/10. Definitely an extra point for effort.

Here's a picture of the satisfied Advertlets bloggers!

Thanks once again to Nusantara for the screening.
