07/04/2013 No Comments

Hmm, let me ask you a question? How many of you are actually WeChat User.? I was recently introduce to this app by my friend 2 months ago that they prefer to use this over another famous app because of many things that they can do. LAst week when I was in Penang, I saw all my girl friends talking over the phone like talkie and I thought it was another brand only realise that this can do a group talkie chat.. That’s cool, along I understand its one of “The New Way to Connect”.

WeChat was available to Malaysia market since last year June as this app started as early as Jan 2011. Since then they have garner quite a huge success with less than 2 years with 300mil download, that makes them one of the fastest growing app. Then last week they had a huge launching into Malaysia market and I only realise that this app is develop from China.

What is WeChat?
WeChat is a social mobile communications app designed for smartphone users. The application allows the users to send free text, voice messages, emoticons, picture, video and other files. Users can also video-chat, add new friends through its social features, utilize location-based services, and share their stories through the unique ‘Moments’ feature in the form of photos, video and URL links.

WeChat application is available for iOS, Android OS, Symbian, BlackBerry and Windows Phone users. Note that not all features are available for different platforms. For more information and application download, please visit: www.wechat.com.

To my surprise, with the power of WeChat, so many of my bloggers friend got this invitation and to me its like huge massive Klang Valley bloggers gathering.

To get the brand pressence stronger in Malaysia market, they have appointment of Lisa Surihani and Shaheizy Sam as its Malaysian celebrity brand ambassadors. Both of them are strong in their social media pres sense too with strong followers.

As I walked into food section area, then saw this cute cupcakes filled with Wechat logo.

Then the night started off with Vivian Chua solo singing.

Then duet with Henley Hii

Every one pause a moment to catch the performance. . .

During the night, there is a live screen on the stage and its rather simple. Download the app if you do not have one and just scan on the code then you will be in the groupchat.

To be more entertaining, the night is host by DJ Rudy and with his humor personality, he brings the place to life. . With a few contest up on stage, we can see more and more people are willing to participate. Not to forget that those winners bring back good item, with Ipad and some hardisk as concolation. WeChat definately have the budget to make every one happy that Mr. Poshu Yeung, Vice President of the International Business Group of Tencent Holdings Limited himself is there to witness the whole event.

Then the night continue with DJ Sykogroove spinning for the night.

Of course not to be miss on familiar faces, Benjamin and Anna. .

Good to see Esther as its been long time I have not seen her, with Yatz and Joshua and Walauwei . .

Somersby Brunch Club at Antipodean @ Menara Tan & Tan, KL

02/01/2013 No Comments

I have heard quite many bloggers rave about this cafe Antipodean, and wanted to pay a visit at their Bangsar Branch, hunting parking around the area is a pain in da ass. After rounds of hunting we gave up. Then found out that Antipodean have another outlet in downtown KL which is at Menara Tan & Tan.

It was Sunday and head for the event for Somersby Brunch Club that taking place at this cafe. To my excitement I am keen to try the food there especially on their brunch.

With Bangsar Babe, Rif and Anna along for brunch.

Love the cafe ambiance here. A typical foreign cafe area that many love to hang out especially during summer if they have outdoor area. Definitely not applicable in Malaysia.

What to order? You can view on their giant chalkboard menu on the wall.

Quite a huge chunk of deserts to hunt for.

Well, since they fall into the catagory of Shortlisted for best coffee in Time Out KL, wasnt the best I have tried so far. Still above average.

In Malaysia, if you drink alcohol for breakfast or lunch, many people will stare at you like you are from another planet or alien. Its just different culture we have here. For me, it doesnt matter as long as I have great friends around, alcohol drinking will starts to kick in. This would be my first time tasting this Somersby Apple Cider that had been rated as one of the favourite drink by a few girl friends of mine.

A drink that is all rounder, easy to drink with apple taste is pretty visible, slightly gassy and perfect that you can drink it at all day long. For a 4.5% of alcohol, you wont feel it when you have down 1 bottle. The kick will only kicks in when you down at least 4-5 bottle. Then you will be starting to float around. 😀

Its a unique brunch whereby we have 2 great host in da house with Chelsia Ng and Jeremy Teo. Entertain us with their entertained with their humor and kitchen musical.

Below is the video of their kicthen musical performance. Apologize for my shaky hand on that day . . . 🙂

It was a event open to public and patrons were giving samples of Somersby and special bottle price for that day.

Love this Exotic Fruit Salad with Yoghurt, Honey and Mint. A simple fruit salad that pairs very well with the dressing and some cider. I find it more cider added in it taste much better, that still did not over power the sweet taste of honey. 😀

Then we got ourselves for All Day Breakfast @ RM29.

Then after sharing of one plate, we decided to order another plate with extra sausage. Scramble egg and bacon were decently prepare.

Grilled Chicken with Tomatoes, Green Beans and Balsamic Vinegar @ RM28. Dressing of Balsamic vinegar, definitely stood out in taste along with fresh green beans, just that, the chicken breast find it slightly dry for me. Overall still good.

Eggs Marlborough with Salmon. Salmon are pretty salty to my liking and luckily it was covered well with the runny yolks. Love the bread as its crips and eat along with the yolk is just something simple and nice. RM32

Kiwi Style Lamb Burger with brie and egg

Lemon Meringue Pie & Chocolate Cake

Antipodean cafe definitely a big hit to many people, and pricing of the breakfast set surely will keep me away.

Location:

Bangkok Trip Day 2 – Part 3 – Shopping in Bangkok

28/09/2011 No Comments

Waking up early, head to one of the famous New York Chain Dean & Deluca for breakfast, head to river cruise for a stroll and now the most anticipating of all time which is the girls cant wait is to dig into their pocket and pay is…..shopppingggg . . .

When we reach back the city center or known as business district center, Bangkok is also famous for their massive congested traffic whereby as near as 1km distance can get stuck till 1 hour in some super peak time.

Besides on their traffic, Bangkok is regard or well know by many of my girl friends as shopping heaven where in a short distance you can find as many as 10-14 shopping complex are very nearby or I would say, walking distance!. So Girls, if you do go Bangkok, do prepare yourself with alot of bullets (money) to randomly shoot around. One of the main train station to get off is this SIAM Station. . . . .. .

One great thing that make Bangkok so convenient in terms of walking, is that they have this sky walkway below their sky train as far as the train distance is covered under their business district, which is slightly covered area that even though its raining, we can still walk around, that MALAYSIA is seriously lacking off! Thru this, their business among malls are there, which is similar like Hong Kong.

MBK is one of the shopping complex that sells average price items that we spend nearly half a day here, where you plan to get handphone covers, t-shirt related to Bangkok, here is one of the mall to get.

Gaysorn to come here nearest BTS Skytrain is Childlom

One of the newly build mall which is Central World which is huge enough to make you spend alot of time in here, that host many of foreign brand in this mall. Exit at Childlom station and its just a few minutes to this mall.

This is how inside Central World looks like . ..

In one of the wing that have ice skating ring. . .

Then we walk thru Central World to reach this mall that all girls will go crazy . . is . .

The Platinum Fashion Mall, which is one of the main wholesale area where by also most of my friend came here to get their whole sale clothing back to Malaysia and sell at a good price besides heading to China. The retailers here also do sell in lose pack if you do not intend to get alot, just that at their retailing price. If you go with a group of friend of 3 at least, the more you buy the more you can bargain.

Its a huge mall that have old wing and new wing that hosted more than 5000 shops in here. You can just imagine that.

If you plan to shop here, whereby most of the girls money will be spending inside here do come early, as you cant walk finish the mall in 1 day, where their operating hours is from 10.00am – 10.00pm. As it was Queens Birthday that day, so it was operate till 5pm.

We spend the whole day here, the girls still did not manage to walk every floor as they skipped 2 floors.
