As Suanie Sees It

Yesterday a bunch of us crashed Patrick Teoh’s new talk show to be part of the audience. The studio was in the middle of nowhere, and we arrived just in time to listen to some AF finalist mess up her lyrics over and over again.

Yeay ST and Nazrul found the whisky! Rejoice!!!!111111oneoneoneoneone

Patrick and TV Smith discussing what’s next (TV Smith is the writer for the show), poor Pinkpau was tired for she had been serving tea all day long, KY looks normal for once, and Patrick got fitted for his audio stuff.

Jaime, me, Kim and Fireangel… we all love Patrick!

With lovely Ida Nerina, the celebrity guest for the slot we went to.

Apparently we missed Alex Yoong by one slot. Lucky us.

The band was pretty good. At the end of the show the drummer banged the shit out of his drum set to Tiesto’s Traffic. Fuwahh, terror sial!

This Saturday the band will be playing at Bangkok Jam (same row as Eden off Jalan Bkt. Bintang), so if you are free you might want to check them out. No cover charge.

We also took over the couch…

Overall it was a new-ish experience, it would have been much better if Patrick was allowed to go ‘niamahhhhh!!!’ on air. Would have definitely spiced up things, eh? At least he’s a natural and it is always nice to meet him.

Humble and down-to-earth celebrities, we like!

While I am busy with life, here are some blog pix from Jaime’s birthday celebration at Zeta Bar, KL Hilton.

Me and Paul and Fireangel doing what we do best… camwhoring

Members from the band Southern Glow, I’m in lust with Mark Daniels

We love you Jaime. Hope you had fun

… but there are some photos, so might as well

It was all David Tall’s fault. He told us here that they have some ladies night thing going on every Wednesdays, so off we went yesterday in search of barely-drinkable-but-wallet-friendly alcohol.

The ladies night thing starts at 9 p.m. Because we arrived early, we had a couple of Tiger and Hoegaarden. By bottle not tap because they were out of stock, WTF?!?!?!?!

KY had a dinner of very healthy grilled prawns on a bed of tossed salad, which was a lot nicer than what we had the other day.

One thing didn’t change though — the service was excruciatingly s-l-0-w. I suppose they are constantly understaffed… shouldn’t the management be doing something about this? At one point we waited 45 mins for our drinks to arrive, and any beer drinker can tell you that this is BAD.

It was so bad that the next round, Paul decided to order three whiskey coke at one go.

Then later Jaime arrived. She waited a bloody long time for her first drink as well, and half an hour later it was officially ladies night so every girl was handed 4 coupons to be redeemed at the bar for small portions of house cocktails and beer.

Oh yeah, Encik David Tall was there as well but he ignored us most of the time… hmphhhh

Anyway the ladies night serving of Long Island Tea, according to Fireangel tasted like mosquito repellent. I liked it.

It was quite fun, except for the waiting. KY and Paul got bored with the girls dancing and went outside to chat… but we went home relatively early

As a parting shot, here’s a photo of Fireangel that is bound to increase my hits and comments, as always.

Though I just noticed that it’s a little scary, only the whites of her eyes are showing, OMG FIREGHOSTTTT!!!!!!!!11111oneoneone

My colleague Jess promised to hunt down Hoegaarden on tap in KL for me and boy, did she come through.

Janice couldn’t believe her luck at one so big

The heaven on earth is Carnegies KL at Central Plaza along Jln. Sultan Ismail, a proper pub where they serve proper beer and cocktails.

How orgasmic is that?

They cater to mostly after-work hours revellers and random beer drinkers like me and friends. It is a pretty okay place, the music is rock-ish pleasant, they have quiz nights etc.

Inside Carnegies

Beware of the stairs going down to the toilets though, especially if you are in heels and not quite sober. I still have the bruises.

It was V-day eve and we decided to have a little celebration there. The food is nothing to shout about, and Paul would not recommend the steak.

Which of the above caused Paul to have a toothache for days?

But the beer… oh the beer…

My precious…

I think that the Hoegaarden on tap in Singapore is somehow better, but Carnegies KL is the only place in KL that I know is serving it on tap, and beggars cannot be choosers.

We had a couple of Bellinis — champagne and peach thingy. According to J&J, Telawi Street Bistro @ Bangsar serves better cocktails.

Janice has a new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1, the touch screen thing where you can add words and images and stuff.

Ah well. Beer, anyone?

Since my hair is still wet and my tooth ache = can’t sleep, might as well post the photos now. Most photos are from Jaime’s camera, some were taken using my phone camera.

So, the result of this and this.

Merry Christmas kthxbai.
