Several months ago cheesie asked me, “how would Fergie order a plate of char kueh teow?”

Utilizing all the quiz solving prowess I have, I couldn’t figure that out the answer to that one.

She told me Fergie would order them without cockles, humming the tune of “My Humps”, which sounds exactly like “no cockles” in Hokkien. OKAYYYY

fergie_my_hump

Little did I know then that Black Eye Pea was actually coming to Malaysia, so this whole Fergie ordering char kueh teow business has a potential of being true. The world is awesome in very interesting ways.

Estelle & Kasabian at other venue around the world, we have BEP in Malaysia!

Along with other top Asian and Malaysian acts including MC HotDog from Taiwan, Reshmonu, Danny One, and Man Hand, Black Eye Pea will be performing in the biggest party of the year.

The party that is Guinness@250 -  Arthurs Day Celebration

It all started 250 years ago when Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease at St. James’s Gate brewery in Dublin and started brewing the most famous black beer in the world. This global celebration is to mark the remarkable man’s archivement and to mark the monumental milestone.

Did you know that 1759 was also the year when George Washigton got married? A strange coincident.

guinness_aquaria

With the awesome lineup and the fact that Guinness does know how to throw a great party, I am sure the celebration will be a great event. For the press invitation that I was lucky enough to get invited to, Guinness booked the entire Aquaria and had eleborate set up with decorations all over the place, served up good food, great Guinness, and even had divers and Guinness bottles in the tanks.

I can only imagine what they come up with during the main event this 25th September at Sunway Lagoon. It will be glorious!

Tickets will be sold at RM 100 a piece, certainly a very good value for the international line up, but since you’re reading, I am going to play Santa and give away 5 pairs of tickets, absolutely free!

All you have to do is leave a comment answering this question:

“How would your celebrate your 250th birthday?”

The most creative 5 answers will get the a pair of tickets each. So lets see what you got. The biggest party awaits!

    for my 250th birthday, i imagine i would be crippled by very very old age symptoms already, and would not be able to move around much.

    hence i would have a virtual birthday bash in an MSN chatroom, and buy everyone virtual cake, pizza, beer, and even a cute tortoise of their own each! whee!

    when i am 250, meaning i am a quarter of a millennium old. Morning will bungee jump for warm up like my 249th bday. then all the guests will be invited into my private jet and parachute down while enjoying a pint of guinness (not sure law of gravity allows this). then i will be in the center while the rest form a circle in the mid-air and sing happy bday song.

    I will book the whole Sunway Lagoon for my birthday party venue. This is what I will do for my 250th birthday pool party

    1)Fill in all the pools with Guinness. So my party guess can swim, surf and drink from the pool. Reason why I choose Guinness is because they have same history as me , this is their 250th anniversary!

    2) I will invite Black Eye Pea to char kuy teow with Guinness flavor and singing at the same time… at the Stage! So now we got food, drink and performance.

    3) Next I will hire 250 sexy girl and sexy man to dance and perform fire show.

    2) Since we cannot play fireworks for safety reasons then we play bubble with Guinness

    3) Everything serve on my party will be un-halal!! We will have roast pork with Guinness… kekeke..

    4) Every guest is advisable to wear fireman suit since its a flammable party..

    5) I want my birthday cake floating in the pool.. !

    250 years is a long time. I will start keeping 1000 bottles of guinness now so that in 250 years time i’ll be able to open them on my 250th birthday bash(a bottle for each year i live, extra bottles cos i’ll live longer). Most probably i’ll be the oldest man alive, so i’ll definitely make sure my birthday is a public holiday so that everyone around the world will be able to party with me. I’ll have a guinness infused oreo cheese cake with power rangers design. There will be karaoke machines with songs from every decade, from elvis to God knows what. I’ll have performances, from moonwalk, shuffle, breakdance to futuristic dancing. Maybe if fergie is still alive she can dine with me because i don’t like sea hams too, mai ham cha kueh tiaw and mee. Don’t worry ky, you’ll be invited too. Write a blog entry of my birthday too! We’ll dine on those long mediaval tables like harry potter, the whole place will be lit by neon lights and glowsticks. Only guinness will be served, many variants will be available by then and i’ll have my own variant too together with my 250 year old guinness. I’ll have tabs at every table so that everyone can have easy access to guinness. Who says that a 250 year old needs wheel chairs and walking sticks? A guinness a day keeps the doctor away. I’ll still be able to party all night, and sleep all day, and throw all of my problems away. Life will definitely be eassssy!

    p.s i’ll carry it out if i live that long. It’s my ultimate dream

    The birthday party will be at Paris beside the eiffel towel with the best food from all around the world (Yummy food!!)
    There will also be entertainment and dance all night long. And when the clock strike 12 midnight just like cinderella (something happen) Hahaha!! Firework and musical fountain will start.

    thats for 250th birthday.
    then after a hard day’s work,i’ll have siu yok and char siu and go to the garage to rebuild my body, thats the gym for robots baby….
    after getting my indoor body attached, i’ll relax at my lounge playing guitar, bass, drums, saxaphone, piano, and singing all at the same time while my “friends” cheer me on. (as a dictator you never know whether they’re friends or just smiling enemies….)
    oh, cos i can do these all but not at the same time with this useless human body…=(
    then we’ll eat a 3 michelin star standard 5 course dinner which i prepared psychically, and then have a guiness for old time’s sake (the brewery was accidentally destroyed in a tragic “accident” when the americans suspected arth of being a nickname for osama and they bombed the place clear into venezuela for fear of weapons of mass destruction, causing guiness to become rarer than petroleum in the 22nd century).
    after the celebration of sorts, i’ll cry myself to offline time as i haven’t in all my years of searching, found a mate to share my goals and visions.
    then i’ll go offline.
    until tomorrow…

    on my 5th birthday.. i celebrated it with my parents and my sister along with my 5th baby tooth falling out at a restaurant which i can’t remember.
    on my 10th birthday.. i celebrated it with my whole family with a total of 9 aunties, 13 uncles, and 29 cousins at my grandma’s place in the end had almost the whole neighbourhood joining in
    on my 15th birthday.. i decided to have my birthday held in class with only my classmates and at night with my family, in which i had almost the whole school and the whole restaurant joining in the party at both respective places..

    i noticed that as i got bigger, my birthday parties got bigger and bigger as well.

    so i guess what i’m trying to point out is that by the time i’m 250 years old?!

    i’d probably be partying on some other galaxy with tons of different species from other universes joining in the fun as i would probably be partying in my space-suit filled with guinness flavoured oxygen.

    Arthur Guinness an entrepreneur, visionary and philanthropist,
    I think His Birthday wish is simply world peace,
    Where there is smiley from adults to lil kids,
    No standardization and discrimination,
    Equivalence among people from every nation.

    Daily stress is just simply a beer away,
    Pushing all the fighting commotion at bay,

    Now that Guinness can be found from kitchen to local pub,
    There go all our dailies hiccups.

    To Arthur Guinness,
    A simply world renown genius.

    Happy 250th Birthday
