Heineken Life Below Zero

Couldn’t help but laughed when I received an invitation to Heineken Extra Cold Beer Launch at Velvet Underground. I mean, seriously, I have a category called “Alcoholic Faux Pas” in my blog for goodness’ sake.

I’m not exactly the best drinker in the world. But you got to love me for my passion, you know what I mean….I may not be able to hold down more than two drinks but I sure do enjoy drinking, while I could still hold my head up that is. And man, girl here can never ever resist a free flow ;)

And I did enjoy my time at the party.

Joey G was the host, as usual. He’s practically everywhere eh? I really don’t mind him, he’s really good at what he does and he’s got the looks to boot.

Our eyes glistened at the sight of 6 fridges fully stocked with Heineken Extra Cold. Yuuuummmy!

I got pretty tipsy after the first bottle and apparently I was jumping around like a monkey or something. The Heineken beer tasted so good at such low temperature (0 Celsius – 3 Celsius).

Joey G was conducting a pop quiz at some point and I won a black Heineken shawl. ST told me I gave the wrong answer, but who cares…it’s the spirit that counts! Thanks Joey G!

So I had tonnes of fun, well, I always do when I had alcohol in my blood stream, hehehe.

Shopping for a noble cause.

I’ve been meaning to write about this for some time. A couple of weeks ago I attended a charity bazaar and fashion show in support of breast cancer awareness. It was organised by Maxnetic and held at Marmalade.

Belinda Bateman.
Me and Belinda Bateman.

Belinda is a single mother diagnosed with fourth stage breast cancer in January while working in the Philippines. Already suffering from congenital multiple arthogryposis, which causes bone deformity, the diagnosis was akin to rubbing salt to an open wound. As if these were not horrible enough, Belinda is caught in a tight financial situation due to government bureaucracies.

Here’s the story. After her cancer diagnosis, her employer paid for her lumpectomy. Shortly after that, she was forced to resign as they were obviously unwilling to foot anymore forthcoming medical bills. As she had exhausted her funds while moving to Philippines, Belinda return to Malaysia to seek aid from the government, namely the Social Security Organisation (Socso), Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and Social Welfare Department. Everytime she sought help from these government departments, she was turned away on the basis of “investigation”, which could range from 2 to 7 months.

Tell me, how ridiculous is that? You can read more about Belinda at The Star.

Among the merchants involved in the bazaar were Shoes Shoes Shoes, Tres Chic, Sew & Soul, MUSSE & popUP Retail. Lovely, lovely stuff. Got myself a pair of heels (which I will never wear again).

The fashion show was interesting because the models were made up of real women, non professional models. Many of them looked like they should have dabbled in professional modelling.

It was also Belinda’s birthday so Maria got her a pink birthday cupcake.

Facebookholics Anonymous Bonding Society (FABS)

Getting suckered into the world’s most effective time waster is no child’s play. It came to a point where therapy was needed to break away from my addiction. When I discovered Facebookholics Anonymous Bonding Society (F.A.B.S), I was overjoyed. The first FABS meeting was held at The Attic, Bangsar.

Going cold turkey was discouraged at FABS meeting. Everyone was allowed to access Facebook as part of a systematic weaning.
