Entering KL's Most Exclusive Speakeasy Lounge: Dcode 1A Private Lounge

I think it has been a trend for quite a while now about Speakeasy bars in Kuala Lumpur. With the mysterious hidden directions to get to a certain bar, it makes the experience more interesting.

I was recently invited to the launch of KL's most exclusive speakeasy lounge, the Dcode 1A Private Lounge. Known for hosting some of the most anticipated events and campaigns across Malaysia, the 1A Private Lounge is the latest initiative from experiential specialists DCODE. Designed with DCODE’s mantra of #CreateOwnDiscoverExperience in mind, the DCODE 1A Private Lounge is a distinctive expression of all a modern speakeasy cocktail lounge should be.

Located at The Row KL, you would have to go through a a few different flights of stairs, and go through a "Gelung Hos" door to enter the lounge! Pretty cool yeah? 

I brought Yeeing as my date today, and of course she's always a pleasure to be with. Another reason why we're close? We're born on the same birthday! Okay I think i'm going a bit sidetrack here, Back to the lounge!

Dcode 1A is a 2 storey bar, with the bar upstairs and the lounge downstairs equipped with a pool table, and a live dj spinning. The decor is pretty minimal inside, which makes it a great environment to relax and unwind after a tough day at work.

Can't get enough of this girl

Inside the lounge there are a few vending machines where you're able to choose your poison. There is Gin, Vodka and Brandy, which are dispensed in bottles, and you're able to choose the flavours you would like to mix with at the mixing bar

The outcome? Always different! 

It was definitely a great experience as it is unlike any other speakeasy bar that I have been to. And the best part? catching up with the old friends such as Bok, Jenn, Natalie and Isaac after so long!

Forget Oktoberfest..

Forget Oktoberfest, because the Passport International Beerfest is here! Heineken Malaysia Berhad decided to take the celebration to a whole new level with an international beer and cider experience this year!

Passport International Beerfest made its mark at TREC KL, with an all out celebration of Heineken Malaysia's range of beers and ciders from the Netherlands, England, Germany, Ireland and Asia. Also from that, you're able to get the new set of six limited edition Passport International Beerfest Mugs! They're pretty cool honestly! 

A few of us were invited over for the event, and it was a great night of partying with activities such as percussionist bands, dance performances, carnival acts and magicians who made the night better. And of course for me, a lovely pint of Guinness will always brighten up my day!

Yeeing & I :) Love this gal to bits!

Wicked The Musical at Singapore

YAZZZZZZZ I feel so blessed over the weekend as I finally managed to watch Wicked The Musical for the first time at Singapore! For those who don't know, I'm a musical enthusiast, but sadly they normally don't come down to Malaysia, and the closest one you can go for is at Singapore

For those who don't know about Wicked, it is basically the story of The Wizard of Oz, but from the Wicked witch's perspective. I think you'll be even more intrigued if I told you that the original cast of the Elphaba (The Wicked Witch) was Idina Menzel (Elsa from Frozen) and you can expect how awesome it would actually be! 

I was really blessed this time as, I got em tickets free! Courtesy of the lovely Ying Zi :) And  not just ordinary tickets, they were B Reserved tickets which cost like $150 per ticket and it was for the GALA PREMIERE!

The Musical is held at Marina Bay Sands Singapore, and they'll be running shows till the 20th November 2016

So I got my flight ticket and next thing you know, I'm at Singapore ready to get my mind blown

The musical was awesome and if you're really a fan of Wicked, you should definitely get your tickets for it! as the acoustics and the performers definitely put on a great show!

I would like to thank Ying Zi and Mastercard Theatres for having us there!

Romantic Rooftop Movie Theater under the starlight!

Movie, Starlight, How can you make a romantic evening better? It has to be on a rooftop with a 360 view of the city! 

Where can you experience this? Stratosphere @ The Roof! 

Stratosphere just recently presented the World's first rooftop cinema with the theme “Reel Classic October”. From 4th - 14th October 2016, you're able to experience classic movies under the starlight lazing on bean bags and being romantic with that special someone. 

Here is the list of movies that will be showing:

I was recently invited for the first movie screening, Austin Powers - Man of Mystery. I invited Kiki along to join me. It was a 60's classic theme and thank God the weather was good that night. As for the launch, there was food, drinks and old classic 60's songs performances before the movie started

Lazing on beanbags while watching the movie

Overall it is a good experience, the only thing is that the cinema screen is pretty small, (approx 2.5m x 3m) and its more like a private viewing. So i guess its good if you go early to get em bean bags and have a good view of the screen. Of course if you're with that special someone, its definitely something awesome to experience =D

Tickets are priced at RM45 per person with complimentary popcorn and cocktail, and you can purchase additional snacks/drinks over there
