On a previous post I have written of the ultimate kids birthday party that were, to me at that time, a curious and unfamiliar Malaysian phenomenon.
Love a country - love its customs. Last weekend we laid on our Kiwi version of the Malaysian Birthday Extravaganza when we celebrated Isaac's 4th birthday. Dinosaurs was the theme and for another perspective on such parties in this fine city see this post of a fellow expat KL blogger (and no this was not quite the extravagance of our sons party; although it was pretty close).
Perhaps it's an unusual perspective on my part, regardless, I am firmly of the view that a children's party should also be cause for the adults to leer it up as well. It's difficult standing around at a kids party, clock watching, and longing for the a boredom numbing beverage, whilst the ankle biters are busy having all the fun. With this in mind, in addition to the pass-the-parcel games, chocolate fountain, and fairy bread, we laid on an adult food spread and beers.
So here is a snap taken that day, with more to follow later. We hope the party was enjoyed by young and old alike. Lina and I certainly enjoyed putting it on, and Isaac...... well the picture speaks for itself.
Dear Kia Kaha,
ReplyDeletePlease allow me to introduce myself. My name is Shaun Lee, I review wines on WineActually.TV and also run an online wine shop called WineActually.com.
At the moment, we are giving away 100 bottles of wines absolutely free to bloggers who reside in West Malaysia as part of our 100 Wines 100 Moments campaign.
We don't ask for anything in return other than a picture (a video would of course be cooler!) of the moment in which you decide to share the bottle of wine with. So no, you are under no obligation to blog about us!
Perhaps you may be wondering WHY WOULD ANYBODY GIVE AWAY A BOTTLE OF WINE FOR NOTHING? And possibly think that we are out of our minds!
Well, this is just our way of convincing Malaysia that wine is all about sharing and bringing people together. I am a strong believer in marketing with a little bit of love, people and social media, and this campaign is probably just a direct manifestation of that. There has been quite a few sceptics talking us down, saying it won't work, hence the more I really want to prove them wrong. I can only hope you feel the same way.
Of course, we would be most grateful for the occasional link back here and there and we'd be even happier should you decide to invite us along when you open your bottle. :) But we will leave that entirely for you to decide.
If you want to know more about this campaign, please check out http://wineactually.tv/100-wines-100-moments/.
Just drop me an email at info@wineactually.com (and I will respond with my personal email) if you feel like humouring me by being a part of this. I can then arrange to pass you the bottle of wine in person.
Thanks very much for your time. Hope to hear from you soon!
Best regards,
Shaun Lee
