Yes, you read it right. H-Artistry not arthritis. Do you know that our heretofore known as PISA (Penang International Sports Arena) has refurbished and its now known as SPICE (Subterranean Penang International Convention and Exhibition Centre). To be frank, I have yet visited the new place but I will in a week time as the main reason to bring me there would be that the H-Artistry is back! Marching in to our little turtle island with its crew this 25th of May 2013, and hosted by SPICE.

Ooolala! New place with the all time Global Art of Mixing! If you do not know, fyi, H-Artistry is stepping into its sixth year as it started running since the year 2008.

THIS ROUND, I came to know that its gonna be a whole lot of different compared to the previous H-Artistry you might have attended as H-Artistry will be elevating the premier super-club experience to the next-level proportions this May! I know that you will be definitely asking WHO will be featured in this party :P I wish I could keep it to myself by not telling and surprise you on the day itself but I just can’t wait any longer but to share with you :) Danggg … I can’t keep secrets :P

Well, let me share some insight news with choooo. The super-clubbing-experience will be bolstered by the staple Hennessy Mixing Bars, which will be serving the four trailblazers of all H-Artistry events, the signature Hennessy V.S.O.P long drinks, which are … I bet you know already the main four, Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Berry, Hennessy Ginger and Hennessy Soda! yummeh …

On the other end, the stage will be line-up with local, regional and international acts which the H-Artistry will be featuring two solid sets of pumping dance music, which will be administered by one of Kuala Lumpur’s most promising indie/electronic acts, as well as an Australian DJ!

A lil sneak peak for the night.
As mentioned, we will be having Andy Murphy, one of Australia’s most profilic young DJs, who is constantly touring the world and making appearances in clubs and events. He graced the Global Art of Mixing stage in Taiwan last year, and collaborated with Korean-Canadian artist G.NA.

A Lamborghini Gallardo was put on display at the walkway of the Grand Dorsett Hotel, Subang Jaya. On top of that Relax Time provided some massage chairs! Awesome right?It is actually a day whereby Mr. Sean Ng Chee Heng (Chief Executive Officer, Ninetology Marketing Sdn Bhd), Mr. Jason Lo (Chief Executive Officer, Tune Talk) and Mr. Mantosh Malhorta (Senior Director of Business Development Country Head Philippines, Singapore & Malaysia, Qualcomm Incorporated) signed off the Synergistic Strategic Alliance, all happened on the auspicious day, April

Previously, Ninetology launched a few great gadgets … and its back with another batch of great gadgets. Any idea what it is? Today, Ninetology is unveiling their Pearl Mini with the theme “Experiencing Differences with The Youth’s Spirit”.

Anyway, the highlight is that Ninetology is now collaborating with Tune Talk and Qualcomm which I think it is answering to your queries above having to see Pearl Mini is packaged to it.

Bordeaux Rendez-vous 2013, Eastern & Oriental Hotel Penang

Bordeaux Rendez-vous 2013, all happened in an elegant night. I would say it was a classy night totally. As I stepped in to Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Penang, or more renowned as E&O Hotel, well, perhaps I was one of the first who arrived, the outside of the ballroom was luxuriously furnished. I was then escorted to the red carpet after confirming my table number. This event was proudly hosted by the E&O Hotel in Penang, catering 150 pax that night itself as Bordeaux Rendez-vous 2013 is held in Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta and Bali as well.

It was held at Macalister Ballroom, Victory Annexe.  Conti Neri-Prosecco was the first among the rest which was served. Its a sparkling wine originated from the Veneto region in  Italy. It is also a substantial wine region in the north-eastern of Italy. photo DSC_1174_zps343cbb4a.jpg

This auspicious night was hosted with a master class 26 labels of wine, wine reception cum buffet dinner which all wine enthusiasts should not miss this out.

… and the here comes the highlight of the night. Indeed, it was a rare opportunity for me to have the chance to taste so many wines in a night and am contented that I’m invited for this event. Tonight, is the night when the premium wines are unleashed. Too many to try, thus I only manage to taste some of the hand pick ones. However, there is a Château representative of their respective brands are seated on each table where hereby we get to understand the background of the wine better.

Château Ferriere 2003 (RM360), full flavoured, with blackcurrant fruit and plenty of depth which contain 40% of Merlot. I feel its succulent. photo DSC_0052_zps2b570f99.jpg

Château Corbin St. Émilion Grand Cru 2003 (RM290), has a wonderful aroma with noticeable tannin. photo DSC_0053_zps3d33c835.jpg photo DSC_0054_zpsbb8d0cb4.jpg

Château Coutet Sauternes (RM420), which I was attracted to the golden colour. Tasted it and its sweet but light. I feel its more to a feminine side. photo DSC_0056_zps48f6a017.jpg

Last but not least, Château Beychevelle 2003 (RM800) ; Appellation: St Julien. It is smooth, full-bodied with soft tannins.  photo DSC_0061_zps41a22070.jpg
