We Love Asia Festival 2013

Last week was the most eventful week so far in 2013 with the 27th Golden Disk Awards, SHM concert and I guess most of you know that We Love Asia (WLA) Festival was happening at Sepang International Circuit last weekend where most of the party animals were at! Despite being sick (like real sick) last Friday, I still managed to join in the fun the next day and partied two days in a row. That is definitely a new record for me, achievement unlocked baby!  ヽ(´ー`)ﾉ Gotta cut the chase; enjoy this quite heavy loaded post! 

Got a pair of free passes to two days access of #WLA, courtesy of Manoah. 

- Day 1 -

Are you ready to rave, party people? #leggo

There's this booth with a variety of cool and interesting games to win prizes as well :D

Yolanda Be Cool was the first act to kickstart that night around 9-ish. The crowd seems to be fascinated and greatly entertained by the duo. 

Next up was DJ Antoine who welcomed us to St. Tropez. Surpisingly, he was pretty good and he totally rocked  the house that night. 

♪ ♫ Wild, Wild enough, 
 Too much money in the bank account 
Hands in the air make you scream and shout 
When we're in St-Tropez ♪♫

Hello guys, meet Senri *smiles sheepishly 

Fave pic of the night ❤

〜(￣▽￣〜) (〜￣▽￣)〜〜(￣▽￣〜) (〜￣▽￣)〜

Senri x Hilda 

Some random dudes I don't know; don't you just love the swirls and the lights effect? (;

We *shows heart sign* Asiaaaaa!!
Few hours before the rave party, I just realised that one of my contact lens was ripped, so I had to party with my glasses on. But on the bright side, I get to see everything on stage more clearly HEH 

Single or Double Senri? Hehehehe :3 

Then of course, after much anticipation, it was the guy that need no further introduction, Taio Cruz! Yet he keeps going, "My name is Taio Cruz" as if we don't know LOL 

And people started to squeeze in and fill the whole place when it was his time to perform.  The crowd erupted, got all HIGH and sang along to his songs and well, that includes me :P 

Songs that he performed that night was Hangover (twice!!), Dynamite, Higher, Break Your Heart, Troublemaker, Little Bad Girl as well as the song he wrote for David Guetta and Chris Brown's Without You. I was expecting him to sing Fast Cars though ): 

Last act of the night, DJ Ferry Corsten. By the time he performed, I was pretty knackered, hungry and almost died of thirst. Zero energy left to party anymore. 

But the crowd can't get enough of him! 

There's even fireworks! Woohooo (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ  

And that marks the end of amazing Day 1.

- Day 2 -

Since it was raining heavily prior to the party, I was literally shivering that I had to put on another t-shirt to keep myself warm.

The rain doesn't stop them from partying yo! 

Make some noise cause Rojak Bois are in the house! 

Joachim Garraud; it was my first time seeing him perform, boy I was blown away completely! His music was wicked and euphoric. He was interacting with the audiences all the time as well, giving away his space invaders masks here and there. He even requested from the crew to bring a lady from the front row up to the stage and gave her a t-shirt! 

The graphics on the screen were different and cooler, compared to the other  DJs.
That's him with his keytar if you squint your eyes look closely at the center of the stage.
Eh eh eh eh eh, ah ah ah ah ♪♫

Just when my patience was wearing thin, finally the much anticipated REDFOO(!!!!!!) and his party rock crews are out on stage OMAIGAWD Just so you know, I was wearing my orange leopard print top that night just to match his animal print theme ♡❤♡❤

Redfoo and his party rock hand sign :* Not forgetting the way he said #yeahhhhbaby *melts*

The crowd all went cray and man, it was so packed that I literally have no space to even move an inch!

Few of the songs he sang that night; I'm in Miami Bitch, Sorry for Party Rocking, Party Rock Anthem, Shots, Reminds Me of You as well as his new single, Bring Out Your Bottles.

&&&&& THE MOST EPIC HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT; I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!

YOU KNOW WHY?



 

CAUSE THEY FREAKING STRIPPED THEMSELVES AT THE CHORUS AND DANCED IN THEIR SHINY UNDIES ROFLOLOLOL I wonder if they will be banned from Msia after this. 

Last one I promise HAHAHAHA X)

All I could say was just incredible and phenomenal! 

Look, glitters raining on us! Sadly that marks the end of my awesome possum Day 2. 

Right after Redfoo finished performing, I had to leave the party with Senri cause it was pretty late already. So I didn't manage to catch Steve Aoki's live performance and I heard it was even better, slightly bummed but it's okay. There's always next time, I'm sure! :D But still, I had a blast over the weekend with a great bunch of companion. Booze is optional but not who you party with! Definitely a great way to kick start my 2013, we are still in January, mind you (; Kudos to WLA for bringing all these ahmazing acts for the this two days back to back festival, thank you soooooo much!

P/S: So what are you up to this coming weekend? 

Bee Hong Tin Restaurant @ Muar

Hello! So how was your first weekend of 2013?

If you followed me on twitter, you would have know I headed to Muar over the weekend. The main reason of this trip was actually to try out this restaurant that I'm about to blog about. It all started when we saw this restaurant being featured on Ah Xian Ren Qing Wei on AEC channel last weekend and the next thing I know, we planned to have this food trip after submitting our assignment. How random is that? LOL so called mini celebration for our belated X'mas and New Year harhar (⌒▽⌒)☆

Note: Hope you're not that hungry as you're reading this now or else you might wanna consider reading it some other time :P cause even I feel hungry after blogging this post! 

It was quite packed when we were there around 7-ish but luckily we still managed to secure a table outside the restaurant. 

The list of their few signature dishes.
Make sure you bring along friends who can read Chinese if you can't :P 

Signature dish #1: Claypot prawn mee @ RM17

It's actually stir fried noodles cooked with prawns, vegetables and soy sauce gravy, topped with a raw egg before being served. So you'll have to mix the egg well before digging in (: It tasted exactly like fried noodles soup（炒煮面) in Sarawak and the prawns were succulent and fresh too! (Y) 

Signature Dish #2: Fried spring roll @ RM8

Crunchy in the outside, tender in the inside and I like that it's not that oily. The skin is a tad different from the spring roll I usually had, this on the other hand is thinner and extra crispy!  

Signature Dish #3: Yam basket with sweet and sour pork @ RM17 

Jeng jeng jeng* saving the best for last, so here comes the highlight of the night. They called it yam wall instead of yam basket. There's actually a significance as to why there are a few pieces of meat that were scattered around the yam wall, it indicates that the yam basket is fully filled and it made it look like there's 'abundant' of meat. Interesting eh? (;

This is my first time seeing yam basket served with sweet and sour pork but it's not unusual in Muar. Is it just me? LOL They have another version where it's served with sweet and sour cuttlefish.
The first bite was just... indescribable for words. It was that good. The taste of the yam was authentic and fresh! According to the lady boss, their yam was imported from Thailand, so that explains. The texture of the yam was slightly thick to my liking, at the same time it was crispy in the outside too. The sweet and sour pork complements well with the yam as well.

It's really not easy to make one of these yam baskets so imagine at the amount of work and effort they put to make so many yam baskets in a day! *salutes

That's the lady boss (L) and the boss (R). If you notice, their kitchen is located outside the restaurant, just beside their cashier counter. 

One of the many newspaper cuttings they had on their wall. 

Still mad crowded when we left at 9-ish! I must admit that they have really good business and you can notice that almost all the tables order the few similar dishes. We even have to wait for quite some time before our dishes. 

Since they were only the three of us, we didn't dare to order too much and all of the portion of the dishes we ordered were small. I love all the three dishes equally, giving them 9/10 each as each of the dishes had its own unique and memorable taste. I'll definitely come back to try out their fried meehon with crab if I have the chance in the future; it's one of their signature dish too! Perhaps another trip down next month? HAHAHA

So don't miss out if you happen to be Muar, it's definitely a place worth visit. Highly recommeded by me ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ
