Nuffnang 007 Birthday Bash

I previously participated in a Nuffnang 007 Birthday Bash Contest and won myself invites to Nuffnang's birthday bash. Ok, so it wasn't exactly a contest. I reposted a picture and wrote a caption to win passes. At least it's the first win of the year I guess? I have not been winning anything for a very long time... However, this time, I am not attending the event alone like I always do. Forever alone. FML. My girlfriend, Yuki decided to keep me company tag along.

The big YES of the invite was definitely a free car ride to our location, door to door by Uber. I still use Waze to get around town as I am still not used to KL roads. Therefore driving to KL itself was just scary and I didn't want to waste time getting lost. I downloaded the app and used the promotional code given by Nuffnang to get RM100 credit. Then, I used the app and got ourselves a ride, VIP style!

It didn't take long for John, our chauffeur, to pick us up in a Nissan Teana from my house. He greeted us with a smile and opened the door for us. He is a very polite man. He asked us if we had any route we would love to use to get to our destination. He also asked us to put on our safety belts for safety after offering us 2 bottles of complimentary water. He even asked us what our preferrence was for music. I would highly recommend John as staff of the year if there were one. He drove very safely and didn't even bother picking up any of the phone calls there were. For this, I give him 2 thumbs up.

It didn't take long for us to arrive our destination. He was honest enough not to take detours and bring us sightseeing. After he bid us farewell and wished us a great night, we were welcomed by the tall buildings of KL.

If you have not known yet, we were at KL Live! I have never been to Barbecue Garden in KL Live before. As we walked into KL Live, we spotted the Audi which Uber displayed. Someone special was going to go home with a prize! No, it's not the car. The prize is having one week of unlimited free rides with Uber and two rides with the Audi R8! Cool right? I didn't get a picture with it just because I was excited to going to the event. I didn't expect the contest to end when the event did. Lesson learnt: Next time just grab millions of photos even though there is no contest. It may just come in handy one day...

Going up the elevator, we were greeted by banners stating we are in the right place. The theme was James Bond lost in Amazon as it was the 007th year. Creative! Although Darren warned me to wear casual and something jungle themed because of the outdoor location, I still decided to change into something more formal. I'm glad I didn't take his advice. Everyone was in FORMAL ATTIRE!!! Even he turned up in formal wear. Horribrews!

The Corntoz pony was out at the entrance and at the first sight, even up to now, I still think it looks more like an Unicorn. LOL!

Here's me and Yuki being as James Bondy as we could. I guess we are too smiley to be James Bond. LOL!

After getting a table, we walked over to the WOW Photobooth to take a picture! This is my 3rd photo from WOW Photobooth! Even Daniel remembers me now just coz I took my first picture when they have just established their company.

Next to WOW photobooth was a Mystery Box challenge. I stood there watching them explain the game rules before I had a go. Apparently, we were all given a task in an envelope to participate in activities to collect all stamps to find the "killer" of the night. I think it was really interesting that they applied the James Bond theme in the party. Here's how I went through my first task. I tried to grab the pingpong that was hidden in the box filled with shredded paper. At first, I thought there was going to be slimy stuff or creepy crawlies inside. Thank God there was none. I sucked at the first try but got it on the second try. They rewarded me with a gift from the table and I cheekily tried to take the board. It would make such a good prize and memory of the event. However, I only got to take a DVD home.

Since it was still early after the first challenge, I decided to give the Darts Challenge a try. It seemed much easier in Ipoh when I played with my friends because there wasn't a target to achieve with just 3 darts. We had to have 70 marks and above. I had 3 tries before I got a score of 90 plus. I can't exactly remember the score anymore... I had my turn of queueing up with Kendrick. He was in a suit and all. WOW!

After getting the next stamp, it was the next mission. We were required to write a greeting on the Wishing Tree. Here's mine! Who else do you spot?

Right after the Wishing Tree, the event started off.

Nuffnangers were invited to the stage together with the BOSS, Timothy Tiah. Everyone sang the birthday song and all of a sudden, someone cuts it off saying the cake was stolen by the KILLER! Cool huh?

As everyone goes to find the killer, we went to get some food before we kill our tummy. After our meal, Ernest came and join us at our table. He brought Raffithng and Jing Xiu. She looks as sweet as she does behind the camera.

Kendrick decided to hop into the picture as well.

Kendrick didn't waste time in the first Q&A session and got himself a small Line Plushie.

Then, another 6 girls won themselves the big LINE dolls after some camwhore session with the LINE character fans that were in our goodie bags. I was bummed as I posted what seems like millions of photos and still lose to them who posted only 1. T_T. Even Yuki won MY BUNNY CONY!!!!Here's my photos that lost to the winners... T_T

Then, the James Bond girls came up to do their dance. There was one girl in particular that I kept my eye on because she really danced very well. Expression, movement and rhythm. She got it all...

There was also a competition on the best James Bond couple. Here's the only good shots I got as they were moving a lot and I had to snap pictures over the crowd that were already ahead of me.

After all that Q&A session and photo prizes, finally our cake was pushed out. I heard it turns out that the pink horsey was the KILLER of the night. Who would have thought of that? Here's the awesome possum cake!!!

Of course, what's a picture without the Nuffnang signature pose?

The night was really Havoc havoc Ha Havoc Havoc... It was a great night especially with loads of goodies in our goodie bags and not forgetting FREE FLOW HEINEKEN!!! Thanks Heineken for trying to get me drunk just because I didn't need to drive tonight.

What comes next? Picture session of course!!! Let's start off with the most important person in Nuffnang and the party. The Boss, Timothy Tiah himself. I was so stupid I zoomed in while I was taking the picture. Therefore big faces there is...

Audrey, aka fourfeetnine, Timothy's wife. She is so sweet. Too bad fighter wasn't here. But I understand the risk of bringing him to a party where it is hot and crowded with people. I would too be overprotective if it were my child.

The MC of the event, DJ Kevin from Traxx FM. He's awesome! I thought Matthew would be MC'ing with him, but however, he had another event downstairs to attend to...
 photo CIMG0602_zpsa7a37925.jpg 
  
Darren, the guy who I never fail to take pictures with at every event I see him at. He is the best! I actually bug him a lot on Churp and Nuffnang questions. LOL!

Eric, the comic blogger from my hometown. I just recently found out he is from my hometown! My first time meeting him after stalking him quite a lot on social media. LOL!

Chee Ching! Another awesome comic blogger from my hometown and she is the cutest! You should listen to her England. It is damn powderfuls you know? AND she lost so much of weight I nearly did not recognize her! What I know about her so far is that she is a very sporty girl and she is daring to do extreme sports too!

Had to snap more photos of the car and Yuki. I'm low on confidence so I didn't model with the car. However, I got to talk to the founder of Extreme Limousines who was in charge of driving this Audi here. He also gave us a few tips on how to take a nice picture. Therefore, an instant photographer I was for 5 minutes... LOL!

Since my battery was falling flat, I booked my UBER car to go home before it really died on us. We were once again invited to sit in a Nissan Teana but however, I wasn't impressed with this driver. He made a lot of sudden stops and it nearly got us off our seats in less than 5 minutes of being in the car. Although he apologized to us but the whole trip was just frightening. He still kept making sudden brakes. Yuki and I just remained silent for the rest of the journey...
 
Here's the goodies from tonight!!! YAYY!!!
