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!

To Arthur!

MTV World Stage 2011!

MTV World Stage is back again in Malaysia! And this time, they are back, bigger and better! Remember how Katy Perry was here last year to wrap the whole show? This year they've brought in big names like 30 seconds to mars, Neon Trees and even the Korean heartrobs, the Beast alongside our Malaysian pride, PoPshuvit with their famous Mara Bahaya to close their act. 

Check out some of the pictures I've taken with my iPhone cause MTV decided that it is unwise for the patrons to be bringing in cameras, oh and also any drinks from outside. Cameras I understand, but drinks? All thanks to them, tons of the girls, even guys who have been there since 10am in the morning, fainted by the end of the day.

The Beast.

VJ Utt and VJ Holly.

This was how close I was.

Tyler Glenn from Neon Trees took charge of the stage!

  

Thats Tyler on screens.

Here's my favorite two for the night, Neon Tree's hit single, Animals.

and 30 Second to Mars' Hurricane.

So people, be honest now, who's your favorite?

iMovieBuff: Larry Crowne.

Tom Hanks has always been an actor that I will spend time looking out for his movie. So far, my favorite work of his is still Forrest Gump(which started the whole Bubba Gump chain restaurants), Catch me if you can (with another of my favorite, Leonardo DiCaprio) and also Cast Away. Even from this 3 different genres of movies, you can see that he is pretty versatile as an actor and so far, I would say, he ain't my favorite, but he is still pretty good. 

Larry Crowne, his latest project. He is not only the actor but also the writer and director of this movie. I guess he pretty much believe in this story that he wants to tell the whole world about. And with big names like Julia Roberts as Mercedes Tainot, the both veteran in the field, pretty much just gave you the right amount of reason to watch it, isn't it? They even brought in big names from different big drama series like Heroes/ Star Trek; George Hosato Takei, Malcolm in the Middle/ Breaking Bad; Bryan Cranston, and That 70's Show; Wilmer Valderrama.

So aside from the familiar faces, what is so great about this movie? Well for me, here's what I think of Larry Crowne:

#1. Light-humored movie.

Well, its a feel good movie that I guess, everyone should go for simply just to brighten up your day. With the witty lines and light humor jokes that I believe most of everyone can related to is the main charm to what I think this whole show is about. Just sit back and be amazed with Tom Hanks' wits and see how he develop the characters with a touch of of humor. Good movie to go to if you have had a bad day.

#2. Relatability.

I always find movies like Larry Crowne some what relatable to every average joes and janes out there. Just like you and me, Crowne under went what we usually call, the lowest point of our lives. Crowne was described in the show to have lost his wife and then later lost his job just because he did not have a tertiary education. The cruel reality of the world huh? And without his job, he then lost his house, a place he calls home. But lucky for Crowne, he had great friends. Friends who pushed him into pursuing his studies and friends who made him feel right at home again. Oh and also learning how to fall in love again.

#3. Not much of a storyline.

All in all, I think, there isn't much of a story to the whole movie. Its pretty straight forward to the point that there is no direction to the whole movie. So yes, this is where Larry Crowne lose out I guess. For me, its just a movie that is made for the sake of making a movie and there is nothing more to it. There is no message that the movie makers are trying to communicate to its audience, or maybe it did, but failed terribly in trying.

So yes, I rate Larry Crowne a 4/10 just cause it was a movie that is more of a feel good, light-hearted comedy which acts as a short getaway for everyone from their hectic and stressful schedules. It was said to be a good movie with utterly more self-reinvention insights to life, but it was a let down unfortunately. Oh, but then again, I loved the quote from George Bernard Shaw in this movie and also the chio scooters!

Special thanks to Nusantara and Advertlets for the movie passes!

PUMA FAAS Test Challenge!

I RAN IN A HIGH-WAISTED SKIRT LAST FRIDAY! Hahahha. What better way to say TGIF than this huh? Well if you guys who haven't tried wearing tight high-waisted skirts before, then you wouldn't know what am I talking about. Anyways, lemme rewind back to why was I crazy enough to be running in a skirt.

Mynjayz, JonYKT, Davidchinsays and AzrinAziz, Advertlets bloggers showing their cheeky sides.

Last Friday was the launching of PUMA's FAAS launch event. FAAS is Puma's new line of running shoes and who best to be their ambassador than the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt? Yes, and they had a challenge last Friday too. The fastest runner in a 25m sprint, man and woman, stand a chance to win up to RM500 worth of PUMA products and also a chance to meet Usain Bolt in person! Yes, so now you know why I ran in my skirt?

Thats Chermaine Poo with Rina Omar from 8tv Quickie!

Everyone was having so much fun. Even big names like Chermaine Poo, Siti Saleha, and 8tv Quickie, Rina Omar was there to join in the fun! I came superbly unsuitable for the occasion, mind you, I will have to go to work after, but I couldn't resist the fun that everyone was having! I decided to take up the challenge and so I ran. And running and skirts really don't go side by side, my skirt was going up even before I reach the finishing line, so I slowed down to not have a "gutterpost" moment. hahaha. It was fun all in all. 

And the FAAS shoes, my oh my, I really loved how comfortable it felt and how light it really is. I might actually consider getting one for my gym sessions.
