Friday the 13th of April with Ed Sheeran @The Bee Publika

A blissful afternoon, cloudy day, what could be better than heading for an Ed Sheeran’s Album. His album that went tripple platinum broke even Adele’s number in sales in the UK.

His fresh gentle yet affirmative voice runs along the radiostations and personal mp3′s of young and old alike. The album which is named “+” has gone widespread and has reached Malaysia’s shores with a great welcome. Just when you think music was all about boy bands and electronics, here’s a ray of hope that not all acoustic raw music is dead and gone. In an all changing world of of people trying to keep up with the trends and high society ; a lot of realism and uniques fades away in the distance. Not to say that Ed isn’t up to trend or anything but perhaps one does not need such frivolous vanities when one knows who he/she really is.

So on to the days events,

There were a couple of young eager YouTubers who did a few of Ed’s covers (as seen in order in the gallery below):

Then, later on the event ended with a game.We were all split into groups to make the most artistic and out of the box Lego house in Ed’s famous hit “Lego house” with Rupert Grint. With much team effort and creative thinking below are some pictures of the houses that we made. The team with the most creative house which happened to be the house shaped in an “A” won. Their prize being some gift vouchers from Isetan.

So, what are you going to do for Mother’s Day?

First off, Mother’s Day is the second Sunday of May – 13th May in case some of you have forgotten Interesting trivia – Malaysia celebrates Mother’s Day the same day as Australia, China, New Zealand, the United States and more, but people in Ireland, Nigeria and the United Kingdom celebrate it on the fourth Sunday of Lent (Either April 3/March 18, or March 10th)

So are you looking for a way to give back to the those ladies who have given us so much? Along from those small things such as gifts, quality time, and words of affirmation. There is so much more we can do to actually show appreciation to those who have gone before us. So without further a do, here is a little something that Unicef has set up to pay tribute to mothers for their timeless contributions and love towards raising their little ones.
So often we overlook what they’ve done for us which could very well be the most important thing of all.
Life.

Some 350,000 women and girls die from pregnancy and childbirth complications each year. As a result, 10 million mothers are lost per year on average. To show our support, join #uniicef4MOMS. Celebrate mothers, and honor motherhood. Join UNICEF, spread the love, and show you care!

Why stop there. Let’s go above and beyond to give what we can or ought to give of ourselves.

After all, what could be a little to us could mean so much more to those who need it.

Johnnie Walker® Double Black™ Launch!

From the world’s number one Scotch whisky brand, comes an all new flavour that is smokier, full-bodied and all `round more intense. Enter Johnnie Walker® Double Black™ – a unique expression blended for Scotch whisky enthusiasts who are keen to explore a more distinctive taste experience that sets them apart from the crowd.

Previously only released in small quantities, Johnnie Walker® Double Black™ is already well on its way; making waves with the world’s leading whisky writers with its most recent win of World Whisky Master in the highly coveted “Best Super Premium Blends” category of the 2010 World Whisky Masters Awards.

Created using whiskies from the more remote distilleries on the west coast of Scotland it delivers the brand’s distinctively peaty, smokier aroma, combining those matured in deep, charred oak and altogether harnessing them to conjure up an exceptional end product. According to Master Blender Jim Beveridge, “Johnnie Walker® Double Black™ is equally compelling, more than just more smoke and intensity… it’s got some special magic to it.”

The distinctive packaging of the Johnnie Walker® Black Label™ is a colour-specific reflection of its smoky character. The tinted charcoal grey bottle of the Johnnie Walker® Double Black™ serves as a new contemporary approach to the familiar square design with the slanted label echoing the iconic Johnnie Walker® brand.

Initially released in November 2010 as a limited edition travel retail exclusive, Johnnie Walker® Double Black™ proved so popular among Scotch Whisky enthusiasts that Johnnie Walker® is making it available in Malaysia in a 70cl format. Still, in spite of its overwhelming positive feedback and demand, it is still, at present, only available as a limited edition, says brand manager Charles James Wright.

Exclusively available in select Jusco, Cold Storage, Sunshine and other off-premise stores and retailers in Malaysia, from December through Chinese New Year. Johnnie Walker® Double Black™ promises to be an incredible liquid that will long live in the memory.

While stocks last.
