2012

Party Season 2012 was pretty BIG. It creeped in early November, and it’s been relentless, till now. Hence, the lack of blog posts. No time. Haha!

Anyway, am on a 22-day drinking run. Today, Jan 7, I did not drink. Finally. (But then again the night’s still young!)

So Party Season has just ended for me, and it was intense.

2012 went in a flash. The human race is still here tho, unfortunately for the other species.

Lookin back, via pictures, here’re some of highlights (for me at least).

A good year. Managed to do quite a bit rather than sit on my ass and waste precious life. Managed to grow spiritually & personally too.

Plan to travel domestically more often this year, esp on weekends. Might even do the Rainforest World Music Fest again after a three-year boycott. And hopefully at least one major overseas trip to a new country. Bro wants to hit Cuba.

Health-wise, sallgood. And thanks to Kamliari, my liver is now brand new!

2013 should be even better for me personally. Also, for the world i think. People are becoming less religious but more spiritual. They’re also more aware, and can see thru the bullshit being fed to us. Even people in US are realizing they’re being screwed by their government and corporations and the president; about time too.

Anyway, all the best for the year yall! Take less, give more. Change the world. Salud!

Where da party at

Carlsberg’s Where’s The Party is now a regular program in the year’s big parties. Well, it’s not that big coz the entire world aint invited, which is what makes it better than the rest.

The latest one was the third, and my second, after the brewery party earlier this year. This time, an overnight gig. Nice.

Islands are always good. Great in fact. Penang is a spot i party at every coupla years.

A party at d beach – it’s what we all need, regularly! We live in a tropical country encircled by the ocean for God’s sake!

Anyway, buses scooped our butts from KL to Penang.

Even Ewok joined the party

 

All aboard

 

View from my pad

 

A real big-ass media conference, with lotsa beer flowing

 

The performers n Carlsberg folks

 

The beach spot

There were food stalls set-up on the beach too, (at Feringghi) hawker-style, and guests could grab whatever they wanted. And the lager flowed freely of course.

A beach lounge. Nice

 

Set-up was awesome

 

Some of d beach bums

 

TAG rocked d set

 

And so did true R&B mama Kellis! Great show

Dont recall what time i left d beach, but d crowd had thinned out. It went on pretty late, fortunately.

A kick-start to Party Season 2012. A good nite out; lookin forward to the next one.

MJ decided to sit this one out

Koh Lipe baby!

Hit the southern Thai isle for my birthday the last few days. The trip required us to go thru Langkawi.

No complaints there. So we did an overnight.

It was an opportunity to stock-up on all sorts of drinks for the trip.

Landed straight at Laila’s Bar at Cenang Beach. The owner G is a cool ex-beach bum

I had partied till 5am the night before, so was hoping for a relatively early nite on Langkawi. To be ready for Lipe n all.

Balls. No chance

By the time i took a chilly ride on my scooter back to the room, morning prayers were in the air. And i had yet to even open my luggage!

No time. Haha

Never looked at a chair dat way!

Chillin at the Langkawi harbour before the boat to Lipe

Lipe, otw to the resort

Landed, scored beers at the beach cafe n got in right away! Again, never saw my luggage till late

Cocktail of the night: Skyfell (Single malt served with exclusive sky-falling rainwater)

Afternoon drinks

The trip’s official beer

I managed to make time to for a sit-down dinner

Layaning fireshow at Reggae Bar

I shoved a lamp in to create our glowing bar on da beach. Haha

Kid had his own stash

Joyce n d fishies at our first snorkeling point

Landed on a secluded beach..

..and partied

Stumbled on a strange lake near the beach

The life. I HAD to buy that floating bar. Will be very handy

Party guest

Yea!

Beers at Lipe are priced similarly as Langkawi, ie about 5 bucks at a bar, 3 bucks at a convenience store. However it’s best to BYO other liquids from Lgk.

Sleep was a premium (no time). Definitely a great trip!

I hear Tioman Island is similar these days, with it being chilled-out, duty-free n all. Might hit that next.
