Oktoberfest 2010 @ Souled Out Sri Hartamas

Hoy, Hoy, Hoy!

W'sup guys! Yes, its October and its time for Oktoberfest 2010! What is Oktoberfest? Its a celebration of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria's marriage to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on 12 October 1810. To make it simple, its an occasion with LOTS of beer, cheers and food! Guiness Anchor Berhad or GAB is having lots of parties, special promotions and events to kick off the this year's Oktoberfest 2010. This is the third year GAB is organizing this celebration and my FIRST time to the event.

The first Oktoberfest was held at Souled Out Sri Hartamas on the 2nd of October 2010, Friday; which would mean PARTY TIME! I arrived fairly early and got myself checked in as media :P It wasn't really crowded yet but the numbers were building up very quickly.

Hello Ladies :P

Entertainers


Don't worry, you don't have to dress up like this


A time for celebration!

My press kit and ticket to free flow of beer(the box contains a huge mug)

I was waiting for Marcky to arrive but he got caught up with a last minute meeting at his work place. I had to chill out on my own with a glass of Tiger beer to start off the night :)

Ok I lied, I went ahead to grab some food :P

The best part of the night was when I asked one of the counter guy there about the sausage:

Andrew: "Ini sosej ayam ke?"

Counter Guy: "Huh? *blur face* *turned to his friend to ask something* 

Andrew: * =.=" expression . In my mind I was thinking does he even understand what I'm saying? *

Counter Guy: *Confidently* "Oh, ini sosej chicken."

Andrew: o.O" *WTF*

Ok I got these mixed up but 1 of it is beef and the other is chicken.

Good ol' Fish and chips

Cheese.....how can one resist them

Pies

Pretzels~!

Mini pretzels

Not soon after, the main show of the event was about to begin. Emcee for the night was none other than our very own DJ from Fly FM, Phat Fabes!

Awesome costume!

So did we! Bottoms up! oh wait...


Now this is the real beer


Marcky seems very happy

We drank, ate, drank, ate and drank more beer. Things started to slow down for all of us. In between food and beer, there was a lot of cheering. "Eins!, Zwei!, Drei!, g'suffa!" And all I replied was HOY HOY HOY HOY! * I blame the beer here.
