NyX: New V.S.O.P Hennessy Collector Bottle Launched! + Interesting Facts About Spirits!
The world’s No. 1 selling Cognac recently launched their latest edition offering – the Hennessy Privilege NyX Collector Bottle at Midvalley with an invitation only party held at Vertigo Club at the Gardens. As the antithesis to its elder sibling, the Hennessy V.S.O.P Helios, the birth of Hennessy V.S.O.P NyX was inspired by the Goddess of Night and Dreams, NyX, of Greek Mythology.
The bottle is re-cast in a modern and daring translucent platinum glass with metallic purple inspired by a starry night. Logo etched in luminescent ink adorn the label, collar and cork and are visible only under black light. As I didn’t stay long for the party, I can’t really tell you how the party went and quite a number of the guests that was under my name didn’t stay around long too so they couldn’t feedback to me about the party. So let’s talk about debunking some ‘facts’ about spirits! (more…)
Bold 9900 and BlackBerry Torch 9810 Price Released in Malaysia!
Come 15 September, Blackberry fans in Malaysia can get their hands on the Bold 9900 at RM2188 and the BlackBerry Torch 9810 at RM1988. A tease of the price was blasted out last Friday on Twitter for those of you who didn’t catch that and now, the price is confirmed! The Bold 9900 is slightly wider than Bold 97oo and I wonder if it’ll come with the Blackberry 7 OS? Anyone want to take a guess?
You can now place your Pre-Order with Brighstar Malaysia from today until 21st August with a deposit of RM300 only. The Telcos have yet to announce their price list though which will come with their BIS service. So, with my birthday being about a month and a half away, any kind souls want to get me the 9900 as a birthday present? It’s about time to replace my Bold 9700 as it’s practically on a slow death.
Boost Juice Bars in Malaysia
Recently, the team from Boost Juice Bars invited me to check out their Pavilion outlet and check out some of the signature juices they create. I’m a closet juice fanatic, use to make a lot of it back when I was working in Singapore as it’s easy access for me to get to the fruit stalls from my home (It was just downstairs after all). I do wonder how they know, maybe they could sense who among us that loves to drink juice. Hmm..
Anyway, got to meet up with Nick Tiernan and Dr. Soraya Rahim, the husband and wife team that brought this franchise into Malaysia and with 9 outlets around Malaysia and 4 in Singapore.They are aiming high to open a lot more in the coming years. There was 1 in Penang too at Gurney Plaza that I managed to visit on my recent trip to Penang. Friendly people behind the counter and really knows what they are working with. Try to give them suggestions of this or that fruit combination and they can tell you whether it’ll work or not. (more…)
Nikon 10 Year Anniversary
Over the recent weekend, Nikon held a 4 day exhibition at MidValley to celebrate their 10 year Anniversary. Started on the Thursday with a Media Launch at 10.30am with a short speech by the Managing Director of Nikon as well as a short opening gambit. The 4 day event also had a lot of activities lined up for Nikon users, from a display of all the past and present Camera models Nikon produced to workshops as well as free Sensor Cleaning service.
One thing I would like to ask is, who came up with the slide show for the stage at the Media Launch? I showed my monsters at home after the event this photo and ask them who they think did the design and they told me it look like the fonts they use in their kindergarten. Seriously, don’t they have any other fonts to use that would look more professional than these? Or is it such a rush job that they just slap on any fonts they could find? (more…)
Advertlet’s Galaxy Tag Outing
It’s been awhile since I last played Laser Tag, it’s like paintball minus the paint and you play it indoor with a gun that has no recoil n shoots out light beam that disable another player’s unit for 7seconds. I hope I got you confused with that explanation so on to the real thing. A bunch of us was invited to Galatic Laser at Midvalley to check out the place and to battle each other in the Advertlets Laser Tag Battle.
Before entering the battlefield, we had to register ourselves as a trooper at the entrance where they’d also present us with a barcoded card which we use as our identification. A free for all 10minute session was held for everyone so we get a feel for the place and the equipments we were given before a team game was held. Where we formed 4 teams: Team Alpha (that I’m in), Team Beta, Team Charlie and Team Delta and given 5minutes to come up with a game plan before we head into the Briefing room to learn the do and don’t in team tournaments.
