Guinness celebrates 50 years anniversary in Malaysia with three limited edition designs!

 

Guinness Malaysia unveiled three limited edition designs for its Foreign Extra Stout bottles and cans last week at their 50 years of anniversary in Malaysia. These will be available from now to November only while stock lasts. Each one is bursting with vibrant colours and intricate patterns, inspired by the wealth of history and culture Malaysia has to offer. What has not changed is the glorious Guinness inside ; because it's the exact same formula that Malaysian have known and loved all these years.

Bruce Dallas, Marketing Director of GAB said "For the first time, we've created brand new limited-edition design specifically for one country, drawing inspiration from its culture and its people."

These limited edition designs Guinness bottles have not only been inspired by Malaysia, the have been created for Malaysian, by Malaysian.

Behind the designs are five luminaries of the Malaysian creative scene, who came together to explore the concepts of history, identity and culture. The "Creative Council" comprised of musician Edwin Raj (frontman of local band They Will Kill Us All), artist Donald Abraham, film director James Lee, graphic artist Lefty (Julian Kam) and photographer Vincent Paul Yong.

Each limited-edition design created to represent a distinct era in Malaysia's journey - stretching back to our tribal roots, through the age of independence, leading into the modern day and looking ahead to the future.

 Amazing dance choreography to showcase each era which the designs represent.

They even have different era backdrop to represent the designs 

This is the era of pre-independence day where alcohols are sold in local grocery store (known as kedai runcit)

This is the era of post Malaysian independence day where people had their beer in traditional coffee shop aka kopitiam. This is the place where all the coffee shop talk happened where people sit and hang around to talk gossip on national politics, sports, food, etc. 

This is the current era we are in where people enjoy their favourite Guinness stout in pub. Haha more high class now lah..

So which era are you from ? Haha..it reveals your age :D 

At the event, I was delighed when I found they served Guinness Infused with Ice Cream float...

 Happiness overload ... best combination ever! 

 Not forgetting great music & friends accompanying the night.

 The three collectable limited edition design will not appear only in Guinness Foreign Extra Stout bottles (325ml and 640ml) but also in cans (320ml) from now to November 2015 while stock lasts!

Thanks Guinness for this limited edition miniature!! I love it! 

Happy 50th Anniversary Guinness Malaysia! Cheers!

Hi everyone, I'm back! Sorry I have been missing for quite a while because I away busy traveling and have a lot of issues to settle. I can't wait to share all my stories with all of you here especially on my trip to Sri Lanka recently. I managed to spot a leopard in the wild.. it's so exciting! I will be back with more pictures to show you all here.

Anyway out so many happening things for the past few months, I had a really fun date with the Bunny in late May. Any guess where is the Bunny from?

Any of you guess it correctly?

Established since 2011, it has fun story to tell via their variety of fashion products including shoes, bags, watches, sunglasses & more. The main objective is to flaunt a distinctive sense of style, refined quality, creativity and value without compromising on the comfort, functionality and durability. 

The brand constantly experiments with different shapes and bold colors, with plenty of love and attention to detail. Specially designed ornaments are constantly used to bring out the playful factor. Meanwhile, the unique texture of Jelly Bunny products is achieved through an innovative manipulation of non-toxic, easy-to-clean materials such as PVC and silicone. While the cute ornaments and various hues are pleasing to the eyes, the soft jelly-like texture creates the temptation to touch and feel. Not to forget the sweet vanilla scent incorporated into the shoes designed to perfectly heighten the wearer’s sense of smell. 

We are the lucky social media influencers who managed to catch a glimpse of the new Jelly Bunny Spring/Summer 2015 collection.

Guinness Amplify: Curates - Supporting More Malaysian Musicians!!! Froya "pay it forward’ by sharing her stage with some of her favourite Malaysian acts.

On 11th April 2015,  GUINNESS® Amplify, the music platform celebrating bold Malaysian musicians, made its triumphant return tonight at The Bee, Publika. Following on from last year’s successful campaign, a new sidestream of Amplify – dubbed Amplify: Curates – sees some of our already-established musicians invite lesser-known acts to take the stage with them and share the limelight.

Taking up the mantle as Curator was Sabahan songstress Froya, who also launched her eagerly-anticipated new album ‘Panic Bird’ at the show. 

Each of the three supporting acts on the night was hand-picked by Froya herself, allowing her to ‘pay forward’ the opportunity to get on stage and into the public eye.

Opening the evening was Froya’s fellow East-Malaysian singer/songwriter, Rozella. No stranger to the scene in her hometown of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Rozella’s dreamlike vocals and haunting melodies proved equally popular with the Kuala Lumpur crowd. 

Introducing her to the audience, Froya stated that she had invited the award-winning songwriter to join her at Amplify: Curates to help showcase the incredible musical talent East Malaysia has to offer.

Next to take the stage was hippie-beach-pop trio Jumero, veterans of the last year’s Amplify campaign. 

Playing a number of fan-favourites alongside a wealth of new material from their own upcoming album and some refreshing takes on classic songs, Jumero’s infectious energy soon had the crowd on their feet with their drinks held high.

Rounding off the evening’s support was electronica duo +2dB. The pair’s dark, ethereal soundscapes have long been a hit with those in the know in KL’s music scene, and fans old and new were treated to a set brimming with atmospheric, otherworldly harmonies and evocative vocals. In her introduction to the set, Froya noted her respect for +2dB’s Jo Ann and Jeannie, paying tribute to the duo’s creative bravery and unique sound.

As the night built to a crescendo, Froya herself took the stage to officially launch her debut album, ‘Panic Bird’. 

Taking the crowd on a journey through the inspirations and meanings behind the new record, Froya’s passion for her craft shone through as she gave one of the most stunning performances of her career. Featuring tracks written and perfected over the past 6 years, fans enjoyed specially-arranged versions of their favourites including new single ‘Dawn’, alongside brand new material performed live for the very first time at Amplify: Curates. 

Thanking her fans for their continued support, Froya urged the crowd to raise their glasses of GUINNESS® in a toast to the phenomenal talent of Malaysian musicians whose creative bravery inspires others to make their own bold choices in life, capping off another evening of incredible live music courtesy of GUINNESS® Amplify.

GUINNESS® Amplify is the new music platform from GUINNESS®, Malaysia’s favourite black brew. With a special focus on championing Malaysian musicians, GUINNESS® Amplify celebrates those bold enough to forge their own path. Amplify: Curates sees more established local acts selecting deserving lesser-known artists to share their stage and ‘pay forward’ the chance to get their music heard.

Each zodiac sign has a style of its own. Some people will choose a style or colour that represents their rising sign (ascendant). 

At the event, we have beautiful "Angels" presenting the collection for us. 

Aquarius : Jan 20 to Feb 18

They’re the first to find it, wear it and probably create it too --- their own sense of style is important. Aquarius are first to sport the latest fashion fads. They mix and match everything and break all fashion rules. 

Aquarius likes to be different and doesn’t mind being called quirky or unusual. They think whatever they wear is “cool” and a statement as to who they really are.

Pisces : Feb 19 to March 20

Pisces rules the feet and therefore many Fish absolutely adore shoes. Pisces of both sexes tend to have a closet full of shoes. Fish are the daydreamers of the zodiacs so the women look for romantic fashions; chiffons and shimmering materials. It’s very common to see a Pisces woman dress in pastel colours. 

They like to wear soft, delicate, feminine styles yet stylish. You love shoes, and you believe “the shoes make the outfit”. You have a feminine touch and know how to be fun, sexy, flirty and cute.
