New Year's Eve 2008 : Spectacular fireworks

"10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2...1......Happy New Year 2009 !!!....... ", the DJ cheers the crowd when the clock points at 12 midnite. Immediately, the spectacular fireworks brighten up the sky.

" Wow...so amazing!..." The fireworks displayed in front of our eyes are wonderful. Every celebration fireworks show is choreographed using specialized design software, computer-controlled electrical firing systems and a wide variety of fireworks devices.

Throughout the ten minutes of fireworks shown high levels of intensity and lots of surprises throughout each display.
For a breathtaking experience, they syncronized a wide variety of different types of firework which included firework comets, floral star shells and spinners.

So close with the spectacular fireworks, but i forgot to take my own picture with the fireworks as a background!!

Firework comets (pic below)look just like a meteor entering the earth's atmosphere and burning up to leave a long, glowing tail behind. They are very striking devices, especially when fired in groups, as you see below, and when combined with other fireworks effects.

Floral star shells are probably the type of firework most widely recognized by the public. These shells burst high in the air in a pattern resembling a chrysanthemum or peony flower, or even a palm tree.

The firework spinners spin at high speed into beautiful whirlwind patterns as they reach their maximum height in the sky. When it mixed with other effects, the overall effect can be very dramatic and beautiful.

On top of the spectacular fireworks in the sky, the dazzling laser show carried out a clear message and eye catching wordings.

Before the countdown at 12 midnite, there is a Malaysia DJ Mixing Champion named Nicky to play a lot of good remix songs to entertain the crowd. I like those selections that she played throughout the night which included Usher, Akon, Britney Spears, PCD, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Rihanna and many more. Those are the songs that are able to drive our body to move and dance throughout the night at the surf beach.

It's a music festival!..Some of the crazy people jumped into the water where the giant water screen located. They are ready to get wet, but as for me, i'm not into that coz i have my camera with me. Everytime they activated the wave at the beach, we have to 'run' backwards. No matter how, we were wet due to the midst as when the wind blow on the water screen.

Everybody's hands up in the air while the music played. The dazzling lights and the techno music almost make me sick!! My eyes are too sensitive to lightings! I closed my eyes and keep dancing.

Earlier on, we are entertained by fire eater show. The buffet is served from 7.30pm untill 9.30pm. I don't fancy the food.

There are a few beautiful usherettes welcoming guests at the main entrance. Here again, i met the "monster" i met during the last function in The Surf Beach. At the same time, they released a few ghosts and monsters from the Scream Park too.

I learnt from the movie named "Kungfu Panda". The master sifu said " Yesterday was a history; Tomorrow is a mystery; and today is a present". Today, i have to say "Bye Bye" to year 2008 and ushering into a better year of 2009. Nothing to regret if we did do our best to achieve our goal.

The spectacular fireworks in the sky symbolized a better career and a greater life in year 2009. Cheers! Let's live life to the fullest.

Food Gossip 6 - Euro Deli,

My eldest brother, King Kong suggested a dinner at Restaurant Euro Deli Grill at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. I arrived earlier, while waiting for my brother and sis-in-law, i walked around and snapped some photos.

This is my third visit to Euro Deli. This restaurant serves Swiss-German delicacies. Diners who like meat in their meals will definitely like this place.

Many years ago when i visited this restaurant, they offered a lot of different menus from the range of pork, ham till all kind of sausages. But, surprisingly, now the captain passed me the menu which only with one laminated page with about 12 items to select from.

My sis-in-law ordered chicken Schnitzel. We thought they will serve a huge portion, but surprisingly, it's not what we think of.

Where else, I ordered the Butcher platter ( Kassler Ham, Sausage & Knuckle) with Sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Obviously, i wanted to try 3 different types of signature meat at once.

They served Germany buffet at RM 48++/ pax. We still prefer to order ala carte. Pork Knuckle is the signature food here. But, it's not my preference. I actually would like to try the Germany beer but i afraid i'm unable to drive back ..coz as everyone knows that " don't drink and drive"!!

King Kong helps us finished some portion, as well as to finish his own order- the Mixed Sausage plate with 3 combination of sausages.

Euro Deli is now affectionately known as “The Sausage King ”. Frankly said, i have no knowledge about sausage, but i guess, the 3 combinations should be Farmer's sausage, Nuernberger and Emmenthaler.

Today, the tantalising range of quality Euro Deli products are readily found in supermarkets and hypermarket chain stores all over the country, namely in Cold Storage, Giant, AEON Jusco, Tesco and Carrefour.

X'mas Eve 2008 - Crazy Night

Merry Christmas!

Last two years i was celebrated Christmas in Singapore and Hong Kong respectively. This year, i have no trip, therefore my friend suggested to spend the night in Neway Karaoke.

Neway Cheras was crowded with a lot of youngsters at about 10 pm, mostly came in couples. We were starved! Michael in-charged of serving us buffet in the K-room.

Neway is serving buffet until 11pm. In conjucntion with X'mas, they served roast Turkey, pineapple ham, roast lamb and a lot of varieties of food. Thanks to my buddy, Michael, coz he was able to grab some raw oysters and prawns for us. No doubt, Michael is a lucky guy, coz he always get his wishes come true.

Even though there are many varieties to select from, but my fussy tongue only went for oysters and certain food that i like. Basically, i didn't eat much.
Thumbs up to the Baked Oyster with cheese and curry powder.

Michael and Crystal were the two hardworking "servants" to bring in all the different food for us. All the food lied on the table till we didn't know which to start with. At the end, i was not aware who was the hero who finished the food. Perhaps, i guess, it should be Michael and KK.

Besides having our meals, we were busy receiving and sending Christmas greetings!!

At the begining, the ladies had their Kampai. Later on, all we had were heineken and Scotch Whisky.

Every guys toasting happily with their glasses and bottles up. Luckily, KK helped me to drink the balance in my glass and bottle before i really drunk.

The alcohol flowing through our veins. We get high! Michael even removed his shirt to show his "muscle" in front of us! In fact, he has no 6 packs, but tummy! How about myself?...ermm...i did a crazy thing worst than Michael.

We enjoyed the night at the karaoke, not because we like to sing, but we enjoyed the companion from a group of close friends. Some of them really can sing very well, with the full of expression and feeling.

Here, i will not share the picture of my other friends due to their profession which goes undercover. Three of us were really enjoyed being entertained by the guys!

No Santa Claus, No fireworks, No romantic X'mas dinner, No lover, yet, we still enjoyed the night. What a wonderful night! We sing, we dance, we drink, we laugh...... until 5 am. This year's Christmas, i received something "extra" in my life. It doesn't mind good nor bad, coz it was like a dream, and i wish i will not wake up from the dream so soon.

Sales Carnival : Behind The Scene

So far, i haven't show those events that i organized in my blog. This is the first one, and from time to time, if necessary, i will share some.

This is the annual year end sales Carnival which was held at Sunway Convention Centre, Sunway. I did contributed a lot of creative ideas for this Carnival. I mortified our childhood board game -"snake and ladder" into a giant board game with the size of 20ft x 20ft.

The game that i designed consist of 36 spaces, where every space offers different prizes, except those spaces where a police traffic stationed, the player will receive a "saman" and compulsory to pay the penalty.

The company get a pretty good sales during a few hours Sales Carnival. Bravo!! However, thanks to the staffs who gave their full cooperation and hard work. Some even sleep less than 3 hours the night before the actual event.

As early as 7.30am, there are some outstation guests arrived at the venue. They can't wait to get more early bird goodies. The event is filled with new product lauching, lucky draws, fun fare game stalls, Santa claus walkabout, special sales, product demo and consultation and so on.

The idea of building a product Twin Tower became a major contest on that day. My initial idea is to encourage more people to attend the event by offering cash prize. Obviously, most of the guests are excited to get the right answer. Some that are close with me even try his/her luck to get the correct answer, but, to be fair, i need to dissappoint them.

Immediate the Sales Carnival is over, we continued with another event in the Pyramid Ballroom from 3.00pm untill 8.00pm.
Before the event starts, just in time for me to snap a few pictures for my future references.
This little kid was runining around, with my Santa's deer hairband.

" Snowman, come come..give me a big hug!" .......haha....

We started the set up at around 8pm the night before the actual event. We have about less than 3 hours sleep before we get ready for the 12 hours event. At the end of the event, we are so exhausted, but luckily the tireness doesn't too obvious on my face. In fact, my legs is really painful. On the way home, i almost felt that my leg is not belong to my body. Just imagine how tired i was.
