AFTER PARTY: Zouk Grand Launch

The Story Begins...

The only thing that I could say after I got the whole picture of Zouk KL was "OMG, WTF! I never knew this place is this big!"

I reached Zouk around 9.30pm and the rain was drizzling since I don't know when and it became heavier by the time Serena C announced the launch and open the door for everyone at 10.15pm. Terrace Bar was too packed with people who wanted the drinks cuz the free-flow session end at 10pm. Some gave up to get the drinks because the line was too long. I thought the whole free-flow thingy is all night for the invitees & VIPs. Damn it.

After the door opened, I took a little tour around the premise.

There were too many doors and I don't have a clue on which one is what! Zouk, Phuture and Velvet are connected with shortcut doors. It's a cool thing cuz we all could enjoy different music at different room.

Welcome to the Pleasuredome

Let me give you some clues of the rooms

1. Zouk
  • The amazing new flagship venue will feature one of the region's most impressive club installations of LEDs, Plasmas and CO2 jets. Zouk Will play the best dance music in the world featuring residents and international guests.
  • Tuesdays - Ghetto Heaven; Thursdays - 4PLAY; Fridays - Global; Saturdays - Fuze
  • Age limit - 21 above for Men & Ladies (Tuesdays); 23 years for Men & 21 for Ladies (Thursdays - Saturdays).
2. Phuture
  • Experience the Phuture. A funky and intimate clubbing venue that will blow your senses away with the multitude urban events heightened by the groundbreaking sound and light system and excellent service standars.
  • Wednesdays - The Original Mambo Jambo; Thursdays - 4PLAY; Fridays & Saturdays - Flava; Sundays - Loco.
  • Age Limit - 23 years for Men, 21 for Ladies (Wednesdays - Saturdays); 21 for both (Sundays)
3. Velvet Underground
  • Velvet Underground is already synonymous with being the fashionable, high class and altogether more grown-up affair. KL's premier party haunt is given a stunning makeover to cater for more retro Mambo Jambo nights in sophisticated surroundings.
  • Wednesdays - The Original Mambo Jambo; Thursdays - 4PLAY; Fridays & Saturdays - Mambo (Every fortnightly Friday - K.A.M. @ Velvet)
  • Age Limit - 25 years for Men, 21 for Ladies (Wednesdays - Saturdays)
4. Barsonic (YEAHHH!!!)
  • Let's get sonic! Fashionable, edgy, credible and downright fun new venue for the trend-setters and night owls. This is where indie, electro and mash-up fans run riot.
  • Thursdays - 4PLAY; Fridays - Twilight Actiongirl; Saturdays - Supersonic
  • Age Limit - 21 years for both Men & Ladies
5. Aristo
  • By all standards, a drop dead stunner of a venue and another jewel in their already bulging crown cabinet! The new house music venue and dedicated Moest & Chandon champagne bar for the party lifestyles of the creme of society.
  • Open from Monday to Sunday
  • Age Limit - 25 years for Men, 21 years for Ladies
6. Terrace Bar
  • Reinvigorated with an exciting new partner - the award winning team from Relish. A bar, a bistro, a restaurant and the escape from the madding crowd.
  • Opens from Monday to Sunday

I really, really like the new Zouk. The whole new concept.

Phuture was totally packed. Great music played by Terence C & Leonard T at the Zouk Mainroom. The electro house was great. The new door policy kinda suck. I can't attend the Sasha appearance in Malaysia :(

Anyway, the Grand Launch party was good. At least we all get the clearer image why the place took a very long time to construct and had to re-schedule its opening from a date to another date.

Overall, it is worth the wait. Good job, Zouk.

Now we all can't wait to jump on the cushions at Barsonic! We want Twilight Actiongirl and Lapsap!

Check out the photos!

MUSIC: Justice - A Cross The Universe

The Story Begins...


Justice has just released their live album and documentary album yesterday (November 24th 2008). Justice who is famous with tracks such as "D.A.N.C.E", "Waters of Nazareth" and the clash sound with Simian titled "Never Be Alone (We Are Your Friends)".


The live portion of the album was recorded at their concert in San Francisco on March 27th 2008.

The DVD portion is the release of their documentary during their North American tour in March 2008 and it is directed by Romain Gavras, So-Me and the band themselves (Gaspard Auge, Xavier de Rosnay). The documentary is mainly covers their personal experience during their tour and some of their live shows.


Their music style has been said as a mix of heavy metal influence and combines cut-up bass lines with a compressed and distorted synth sound. Their music also includes bass slapping which makes'em a bit of electro house style.

Check out the trailer of the documentary



and their live video...


Live at Summer Sonic


Live at Rock Werchter

As quoted by the duo in the Montreal Mirror:
“Yes, we are actually Christian,” the thoughtful AugĂ© carefully reveals. “But the cross that we use is something that we prefer to let people interpret in whatever way they want. Because that way it’s more stimulating to the imagination than things that are explicitly explained, like saying, ‘Okay, we’re Christians, gotta go to church,’ or whatever. That’s not what we’re trying to do. We find it far more interesting to allow people to create their own version of the image.”

The ostensibly Christian demeanour certainly lies in stark contrast to the general behaviour witnessed at the events at which Justice perform. The music too is somewhat at odds with the supposed austerity of Christianity.

POPCORN: Even More Awesome! Disney Animation "BOLT" Available in Digital 3-D

The Story Begins...



Disney's latest animation "Bolt" will be make it's debut in 3-D digital format on the 27th of November 2008. Confirmed participating cinemas are Golden Screen Cinemas Sdn Bhd (GSC) and Tanjong Golden Village Cinemas (TGV) both will extend this 3-D facility to GSC Mid Valley, GSC Pavilion KL and GSC 1 Utama (New Wing), TGV KLCC and TGV Sunway. There will be a dedicated queue to selling tickets to this special show.

This move will pave the way for more 3-D movies available in digital format tentatively slated to be released next year.

For movie goers who are hungry for more movies in 3D digital format they can look forward to catch more titles next year like Disney's "Jonas Brothers in Concert" (April), life-action 3-D move "G-Force" (July) and Disney's Pixar "Up" (August) and "A Christmas Carol" (December 2009). Disney also plans to re-release "Toy Story" (November 2009) and "Toy Story 2" (Feb 2010) and "Toy Story 3" (June 2010) in 3-D digital format.

The 2-D version of "Bolt" will also be sneaking in cinemas from 28th November to 30th November and available in cinemas nationwide from December 4th.

Both GSC and TGV 3-D in digital format offering will feature the Dolby Digital Cinema System which features outstanding Dolby audio quality and reliability. With the Dolby 3-D Digital Cinema, movie goers will be engaged in a much richer and compelling manner in terms of realism. The events on-screen will be closer to real life i.e. larger than life. The experience will be more vivid and enthralling.

The Dolby 3-D digital cinema projects alternating full-colour images from the left eye and right eye that are not quite identical with respect to their primary colour frequencies. Movie audiences with the passive glasses with filtering lenses that are precisely tuned to these differences, thereby preventing each eye from seeing the images intended from the other eye. The digital projection would eliminate the usual "scratches" on screen with the wear and tear for film projection. The 3-D digital is an advance technology from the existing IMAX 3-D version in Malaysia which happens to be on analog format as it is on film.

Movie Synopsis - "BOLT"


For super-dog Bolt (voiced by John Travolta), every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue - at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the canine star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet, a cross-country journey in the real world.

Armed only with the delusion that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and with the help of two unlikely travelling companions - a jaded, abandoned house cat named Mittens, and a TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino - Bolt discovers he doesn't need superpowers to be a hero.


Miley Cyrus of "Hannah Montana" fame brings her vocal talents to the role of Penny, Bolt's human co-star on the TV series. Catch "Bolt" in 3-D at selected GSC & TGV cinemas from November 27th, and 2-D format from December 4th onwards (sneak preview will be available from 28th November) in cinemas nationwide.

Look out also for new song and music video, "I Thought I Lost You" by Travolta and Cyrus! :D

Adli Syahril says: What an awesome 3D experience since "Journey to the Center of the Earth"!!! It is wayyyy better than the old-fashioned Jaws 3D... heheheh. Go and catch it. It's worth the money!

AFTER PARTY: Freedom Elite @ Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club

The Story Begins...

No one can say no to free party and free flow of drinks. Yeah! Me and other 4,999 people attended the current best local event production since the last 2 Days of Freedom in Port Dickson.

Freedom Elite party was held on the 22nd November, Saturday at the Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club. Everyone were pretty excited of the event because it was the only remedy for the no-longer-exist-Recharge-Revelation party.

Big names of act came to keep us stomped our feet with their great skills of rap, turntable, mixing and awesome tracks.

Blink and Inquisitive were great but their set was too short to me. LCK, Mike Koglin and Scot Project were totally rocked the house!

Kudos to Scenique Production for doing such a great event production. Great lightings, lasers, the show and stage. Good selection of DJs... and the most important thing, we all had a great time partying with our friends!
