Right after the awesome Nuffnang pajama party, myself and the Suan rushed to attend Sunburst KL 2008 at the Hartamas equestrian club. I was supposed to get a chance for a photo session with Incubus thanks to the invitation from Tuborg, but due to the delay of the bidding game at the Nuffnang party (which I won a camera!), I missed the chance by 15 minutes, dang it!

There’s a few more photos on my flickr set.

Incubus rocking the field

Actually, Suan and I attended the cocktail party for Sunburst the night prior as well. There were plenty of booze and finger foods at that event hosted at Ritz Carlton hotel. Quite a few famous people were at the scene, as with many of the Sunburst artists too. However, I did not get the go-ahead with bringing the big camera, so no pictures from there.

2 of the local artists who played at the cocktail party: Reza Salleh and Yuna were very impressive though!

giant screens and huge number of crowd

On Saturday night itself, despite arriving pretty late, we somehow managed to find a parking spot rather close to the main entrance. I do think that the place is set up quite nicely, with many giant projection and LCD screens benefiting those who didn’t manage to squeeze to the front rows. Beer and food counters were set up at many locations, as with the ever important toilets.

John Legend was performing as we got there, and then of course, the main act, Incubus. They were really good and the atmosphere were totally changed when they came on. The crowd at the main stage swelled up to a huge number. I’d be dancing even more if I wasn’t so tired from whole night of partying, but it was good nonetheless.

Siao Ling from Tuborg who invited me to the party

Before leaving the show, we met up with Siao Ling and Chui Hoon who invited us to the party and had a cold Tuborg (Thanks for inviting!). Chui Hoon was also the one who was responsible for the 3 crates of beer during the last x’mas eve party. (It was nice meeting you!)

KY, Suan, and Chui Hoon (Siao Ling’s boss)

We left the party at around 2:30 and went to the 24-hour KFC (near University Malaya) for a quick meal before heading back for some well deserved sleep. It was a busy but very fun Saturday night.

I went to the Nuffnang Pajama Party last weekend and walked away with a Panasonic Lumix digital camera, what a sweet deal! I have to thank those who lost to me in thumb wrestling and scissor paper stone games, and also to a few who donated me (FA, Darren, johnny ong, skyler, and more) their stash as well!

Before I go any further, there are also more photos on my flickr set and the facebook album.

yeay I won the Panasonic Lumix FS3 camera!

Suan and I reached Borneo Baruk just shy of 7pm, and already there was quite a number of people. I made my round on the floor and met quite a few fellow bloggers. At this kind of event, there are always so many familiar faces whose names (or blog nicks) I struggle to recall, but it was nice meeting all of you!

bloggers can also party

The party was stuffed with fun and games, and a lot of random socializing in between. There was the thumb wrestling/paper scissor hand games that you bet with “nuffnang cash”, and that was how I won one of the three Panasonic Lumix cameras. Others won plugs from xiaxue and kenny, and there was a guy who forgo a camera for a kiss from Dawn Yang. I guess everyone has their own priority.

you gotta love David Lian’s outfit, he won a Wii!

Of all the party goers, I gotta salute David Lian for wearing his utterly ridiculous “pajama” made our of Chipster packets. He won a Nintendo Wii doing that, so it was all worth it. His wife must be very proud.

the Malaysian Dreamgirls were at the party too

The Malaysian Dreamgirls, including our very own Ringo made an unannounced appearance half way through the party. They too joined in and played some games on the stage where more prizes were given out.

FA loves to camwhore

There were a lot of camwhoring people last Saturday night, and FA took her opportunity to snap a few shots with the very fake policewoman and the French maid. Sailormoon and the nurse were prowling the floor.

salute to Su Ann and all the nuffies who made this happen

In all it was a great party, and I got to salute all the Nuffies for making this happen. It was great finally having the chance to meet some of the fellow bloggers too.

and I thought you’d love this picture

Lets make it even bigger next year!

Like all the other eager bloggers, I too want to go to the Nuffnang pajama party, so here is my blog post to get an entry to the party. Lots and lots of Chipsters to help me sleep better. In fact, the Chipsters helped Kelvin, Dree, and Rachel sleep better too!

all these boxes of Chipsters, with Kelvin the camera man and Dree helping too

I started out by making 3 trips to the local hypermarkets to get all these Chipsters. After futsal at around 11pm, the actual work of trying to fit all these into a single picture frame begun. We tried several methods, finally figured that putting the Chipsters on a string to hang on the wall would be the fastest approach.

the girl is my house mate Rachel, Dree was the sticker man

More than 2 hours later, everything was done, and Kelvin took this photo of me with all these Chipsters. The whole exercise was more strenuous than playing futsal, and really made all of us sleep much better at night. I better win, since I’ve already reserved that left side of the sofa to put the Macbook!

I was so tired after arranging all these Chipsters!

Here is the story about a fellowship who protects the land of Chipsters and their adventure. The sequence of subtitles is top left, top right, bottom left, and then bottom right. Cheers!

1. Once upon a time there are 4 brothers who protects the land of Chipsters, they are Aracon, Fagdo, Letsgolah, and Gemuk. They work day and night tirelessly protect all the Chipsters in the land, even though they sleep better with Chipsters, they stay awake to protect them.
2. One day Smirkgo came out of nowhere and volunteer to help them protect these treasures.
3. Since Smirkgo looks like a nice fella, the 4 brothers decided that they take a long overdue rest. They did sleep much better on Chipsters, and with Chipsters around them.
4. But who knows! Smirkgo actually works for the defunct evil lord Hantu, and in no time they opened up a packet of Chipster!

5. Smirkgo then stole the most precious piece of Chipster and put it on Hantu’s headless body. Cheng cheng cheng!, Hantu gained power and came alive, they quickly ran away.
6. When the 4 brothers woke up from their long sleep, they saw the damage and were furious! They had to get that piece back.
7. To find Smirkgo, they walked past the land of ice.
8. And also the land of concrete, very hot for Fagdo as he doesn’t wear shoes

9. They even had to stand on top of each other to scale the mighty brick wall. Of course, the strongest Gemuk became the foundation.
10. Alas they finally found Smirkgo at the temple of zen.
11. First they tried to talk to Smirkgo nicely to find out what happened to the most precious piece of Chipster.
12. Smirkgo wouldn’t tell, so they had to torture him. After 3 hours of intense tickling, Smirkgo finally gave up the information of Hantu.

13. The 4 brothers then continued their adventure and past some pretty dangerous lake with giant monster kois
14. They finally found Hantu standing tall at the top of the evil tower.
15. Hantu was about to use the most precious piece of Chipster’s power to cast a spell to make those monster kois come alive and conquer the world!
16. Luckily the brothers weren’t too late, they quickly went up there, and with great effort, they defeated Hantu and recovered the Chipster.

17. They decided that enough was enough, and threw Hantu into the giant lake to be eaten by monster kois
18. With great care, Fagdo then placed the Chipster back to where it belongs. The three brothers watched intensely.
19. As Fogdo had touched the sacred piece of most precious Chipster that is tainted by the late Hantu, he had to take a boat and go god knows where to cleanse himself.
20. The remaining 3 brothers sealed the Chipster bag and never again sleep. They now guard the Chipsters with great care.

The end

Yes, you read it right, I partied at Seremban! Who would have taught there’s a decent party place outside KL and Penang, but even to a not so keen party goer like me (age laaa), Trilogy Bistroat Era Square was actually a pretty good place and I had a great experience overall.

KY, DJ Jerryca, Suanie, and co-host Lum

We actually headed to the club right after dinner, and as Saturday nights go, the crowd doesn’t get there before 10pm. We practically had the whole place to ourselves. As our friend Lum knows the director of the club Mr. Loo very well, we actually got to leech some alcohol from the house. Suan was of course, very happy about that..

plenty of drinks, and the hamsup Nicholas

The music was a bit of hip hop and contemporary stuff at the beginning. After about 10+ when the crowd was starting to build up, DJ Jerryca came in and put in some awesome tunes. It was a bit of dance and techno style (I think, since I’m a total idiot when it comes to categorization of music), but I really did like it. Too bad I was somehow still in my shorts and sandals, hence was not able to showcase my talented dance moves to the Seremban people. What a let down, right?

chilling at the club

Now the director Mr. Loo is just too nice a guy. For the 5 of us (Nicholas, Suanie, Ringo, Lum, and I), he actually prepared a couple pitchers of beer, a bottle of imported Vodka, and something like 8 glasses of cocktails, including Bloody Mary, Long Island Ice Tea, Margarita, and some stuff I can’t name. The mixtures tasted pretty good, I particularly love the Bloody Mary that comes with fresh celery, very refreshing while packing a punch.

If you think about it, getting to Seremban only takes about 45 minutes from Klang Valley. The free parking pretty much offsets the toll price, and getting to and from there could be faster than getting stuck in the KL Saturday night traffic. Maybe the next time I want to party, I can make an excuse to get down there and sneaked in a dinner at Kensington at the same time!
