As the English football season 2011/12 is coming to an end, the FA Cup Final, Liverpool against Chelsea was played on 5th May 2012 at the Wembley Stadium with a crowd attendance of 89,102..
Here in Kuala Lumpur we have had our own party as well, supported by Tiger FC, football fans gathered and thronged the viewing party at SOULed Out, Hartamas..
The adrenaline-filled match was further intensified with Tiger FC’s stadium-like atmosphere, with avid football fans cheering for their favourite teams excitedly despite the match commencing in the wee hours of the morning..
*Chelsea fans are excited about the match*
I have somewhat supported for Chelsea in this match because they were really on-form in recent weeks while Liverpool is still trying to shake off their poor form..
Fans were treated to a street viewing party environment with plenty of amazing prizes and Tiger FC merchandises being given away throughout the night..
As Tiger FC is committed to the role of the “Fan of Real Fans” in full force, the Chelsea and Liverpool fans who declared their loyalty to their clubs upon registration were also given the exclusive Tiger FC jerseys..
*Tiger FC ambassadors*
Ramires opened the socring in the 11th minute to give Chelsea the lead and Chelsea were on attacking mode in the first-half of the match..
Not long after the match kickstarted into the second-half, Drogba gave Chelsea a two-goal lead in the 52nd minute..On-form Torres wasn’t in the starting line-up, nor he was substituted in in the second-half..
Andrew Carrollw was substituted in for Jay Spearing and he managed to score a goal about 10-minutes into the game, reviving Liverpool’s hope in the 64th minute..
*Liverpool fans cheering when Carroll scored*
It was in the second-half that Liverpool had played a better game as compared to the first-half, making Chelsea under pressured..
The 35-million pounds Andrew Carroll seemed to be getting on-form, at last, when he tried to score with a header in what may seemed like a goal but Petr Cech managed to pushed the ball out of the goal-line..
This may be another controversial match that will be remembered for years where it costs Liverpool a chance in perhaps, the extra-time..Chelsea won the FA Cup with a 2-1 score..
Being a follwer of English football since I was still in Primary school back in 1995, Roberto Di Matteo is definitely one of Chelsea’s regular players back then and now we can see he’s somewhat walking the path of Barca’s manager Pep Guardiola..
If he’s given a chance to become a full-time manager instead of a caretaker manager post in season 2012/13, I bet Chelsea would be one of the worthy opponents in the title contender..
*Lim Ju Lee, Senior Brand Manager of Tiger with the lucky winners*
Several lucky winners of the night walked away grinning from ear to ear when they won the 40-inch Sony LCD TV, RM1,000 Tiger FC prepaid card, as well as the exclusive framed Chelsea and Liverpool jerseys..
Now it’s time to prepare for the final week of the English Premier League Season 2011/12..

On 20th April 2012, Glenmorangie Malaysia has unveiled the SOUNDFORM Fluid bar at the North Atrium, Gardens Mall..
SOUNDFORM Fluid – a stunning, sculptural bar that brings to life the ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’ philosophy advocated by Glenmorangie..
Officially unveiled at The Gardens in Mid Valley, the SOUNDFORM Fluid bar was designed by renowned architect and interior designer Philip Michael Wolfson for Glenmorangie, and it was inspired by the sonograph reading of the sound of Glenmorangie whisky being poured into a crystal glass..
The event was hosted by Joey G and the bar was well-presented in a few presentation videos shown on the TV screens around the area..
The showcase saw celebrities and single malt aficionados enjoy a night of appreciation as they savoured the ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’..
Thanks to Glenmorangie Ambassador Ben Ng, we had an informal whisky tasting session to unravel the complexity of the Glenmorangie range, from Glenmorangie Original, to La Santa, and lastly Astar..
The Original being the most low-end and Astar being the most high-end among these three, Astar is definitely the favourite amongst the crowd but it’s a tad too strong for me..
If I remembered correctly, Astar has a slight hint of honey smell, pretty fragrant, but still too strong for my palate..
Glenmorangie single malt whisky obtains its multi-layered aromas and kaleidoscopic flavours through maturation in fine oak casks, obtained from the Ozark Mountains..
While there are many perfectly good single malt whiskies matured in casks that are re-used up to eight times, Glenmorangie goes the extra mile for that added elegance in its whisky by only ever using their casks twice..
At its Tain distillery in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie employs the tallest whisky stills in Scotland, ensuring only the purest vapours are used in the spirit.
After which, the crowd adjourned to Vertigo for the after-party featuring US DJ duo Manufactured Superstars, who supplied a steady flow of house, dance and electro pop into the night..

If you are a single malt whisky lover, you would definitely agree that Glenmorangie is arguably the most delicious and complex single malt whisky in the world.
Its multi-layered aromas and kaleidoscopic flavours stimulate the senses and entice the palate.
As purveyors of perfection in single malt whisky, Glenmorangie takes pride in going to great lengths to ensure the quality of Glenmorangie whisky; to ascertain that Glenmorangie whisky is “Unnecessarily Well Made”.
*The Glenmorangie Original – Backbone of the Glenmorangie Range*
How “Unnecessarily Well Made” is Glenmorangie?
Single malt whisky obtains its flavour from the wooden casks used in maturation. Many of Glenmorangie’s bespoke casks are made from white oaks grown on the Ozark Mountains in Missouri, USA.
They are grown slowly over 100 years and seasoned naturally in the open air for two years to preserve their porous texture – a quality that adds to the spirit’s intriguing depth.

The English Premier League Season 2011/12 is coming to its last few matches and as usual, the matches always seemed like they were fixed in a way that 3rd-placed team have to go against 4th-placed team for the Champions’ League spot and the top two teams have to battle it out on the last match of the season to vie for the title, and so on..
On 21st April 2012, I have attended the Tiger Viewing Party – Arsenal vs Chelsea at Publika Dutamas for bringing down the Emirates Stadium from north London to Kuala Lumpur..
Makeshift walls were built as the one resembled the real Emirates Stadium, tunnels, and also tiered seats to make the game more enjoyable..
The Gunners Stadium, is half of the wall at the outdoor area of Publika in front of The Bee..Invited David and Jynn to join me..

On Saturday, 14th April 2012, the Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach was packed with more than 40,000 party goers, many of whom had managed to secure exclusive invites from Tiger’s website, Facebook page, as well as nationwide promotion at Tiger outlets for the Tiger Asian Music Festival 2012..
Due to overwhelming demands, Tiger had also given out additional 1,000 exclusive passes on 12th April, and all were snapped up in less than 2 hours!
The heavy downpour in the evening didn’t deter the people to go all out to have fun at all! I would say it’s probably due to the venue, Sunway Lagoon, a surf beach and water themed park, wet or not here we go!
The festival kickstarted with a blast, starting with Paul Wong and Wong Ka Keung of Beyond fame to get build up the hype from the beginning..
It’s all the familiar songs from the Beyond-era such as ‘Amani’ and ‘Gwong Fai Sui Yuet’..The 80′s babies would definitely know and sing along with Paul Wong..
A-Lin came off after that to perform some slow numbers and yet to keep the crowd well-entertained..
The strong 40,000 crowd from the dried-up surf beach all the way to the lockers area at the back..

Glenmorangie, one of the most famous and well-respected Scotch whisky distillers and marketers of premium Scotch whisky brands worldwide, has introduced its own Orange Retro Funk event at The Pool, Jalan Ampang on 30th March 2012..
*Glenmorangie Orange Retro Funk*
Some of the main agendas of the night was to introduce the Glenmorangie Zest Serve and to unveil Glenmorangie’s new Facebook Page, http://fb.com/GlenmorangieMalaysia..
*Glenmorangie Zest Serve sculptural stand*
This is the Glenmorangie Zest Serve, whisky was added into the sculptural serving stand that contained slices of orange peel skins to create an infusion of orange zest with Glenmorangie whisky.
There’s a slight hint of orange zest which adds to the original flavor of the whisky, where Glenmorangie is renowned as the master of maturation and is the original pioneer of ‘wood finishes’, developing and introducing the Port Wood Finish in 1995, followed by Wood Finish Range in 1996..
*Yours truly with one of the models in body paint*
The female models “dressed” in retro-inspired body paint added to the festive atmosphere as guests had a lively time getting their photos snapped with them!
