Ah finally! A party I really enjoyed. So the story is, I was invited to a product launch by Heineken who are launching new "sub-zero" bottled beer in Malaysia, their sub-zero draft has already been installed in 30 locations through Malaysia since September this year and now they are launching new Sub-zero beer chillers for bottled beer.

I was a bit annoyed as it was 7pm on a Monday night in the middle of KL...during the season when it rains a lot during early evening - just great!

I got there about 7.45pm and queued for some draft, good stuff. It really does taste better when it's extra cold - we were upstairs for a while at the bar whilst waiting for the launch to kick of downstairs in Velvet Underground.

So we headed down, there was ice everywhere, huge green blocks of ice filled with bottles of Heineken - good stuff!

The place was fairly well packed.

Joey G was the emcee (as he always seems to be nowadays) and the thing kicked off with a video about how the beer is best served extra cold, then a delivery by the regional director for Heineken - sounded like an Aussie.

Hmmm fluffy white outfits and free flow sub zero Heineken beer!

What a deal.

They sure know how to make us happy

More soon of course.

This would be part one I guess, seen as though I got less than 10 comments when I use only words it must mean I'm a lousy writer, I better stick to pictures! Hahah.

As I mentioned, I went off to 1-Utama on Saturday afternoon to shoot some catwalk pictures of some lovely young girls holding all the latest cameras. It was a fairly informal contest, you could only enter 1 picture per person, no post processing allowed, you had to print it there on site on one of the provided Canon printers.

The rules were to shoot the girls WITH the cameras, the cam had to be in the shot.

I had a quick triple play and a beer at Chili's then headed down to shoot the contest.

From a photography point of view I think I did ok, pretty well without flash and shooting with a f/2.8 macro lens with no stabiliser

Compositions could be a little more adventerous, but just need to learn the basics first..

Anyway, enough of that, what you want to see is the GIRLS right?

Well here you go..

The Car Parks were all fulll...had to park at a private car park down the road a bit from Pan Pacific.

The morning after the night before...I woke up thinking I was about to die, my breath was toxic enough to melt plastic appliances and my blood felt like it was 90% alchohol of some sort..

It was early...my mouth was dry, my stomach was heaving and my head was pounding.

Not a good start to the day.

I sat on the toilet trying to take a dump at the same time, without puking in my own lap...after that I really did want to puke, but my crap was happily floating there...I had to flush 3 times before I could finally puke in peace. Thank the lord..

After some explosive technicolour yawning, I had a shower, got ready and headed out.

There aren't many photos from the morning...as well I could barely stand up. I'll try and get some from Cass soon.

We headed over the brides parental home about 10am to pick her up, there was food everywhere, I didn't want to see anything or smell anything, I just wanted to curl up under the table.

The car was cutely decorated.

So this weeked I was one of the Heng Tai for one of my best friends, Terence, who I've known in person for about 7 years now.

It was a really joyous occasion, to be part of the gang, it's actually the first wedding of a real friend I've been to, not just another acquaintance, someone I care about.

It's a very different feeling.

We set off to Ipoh in the afternoon, encountering one big momma of a storm on the way, it was pretty scary.

(You should check out the large version here).

It really rained heavily.
