St Patrick's Day 2012 Launch Pavilion

It was the launching of Guinness' St Patrick's celebrations at Malones Pavilion tonight, an event which I had the chance to attend. The event held in the vicinity of Malones Irish Restaurant and Pub showcased lots of laughter and fun to give everyone a small taste of the main event happening this 17th March 2012 over at Changkat Bukit Bintang.

The venue was packed with everyone having a jolly good time

Braving the after work jam towards Pavilion KL, I reached the launching event just in time to start eating. It was a buffet spread of food with free flow of Guinness. Unfortunately, I missed the welcoming speeches by the directors and big heads as I did not arrive in time, hence no photos of that. To make up for that, hopefully these photos of the wacky folks there that night as well as loads of Guinness shots will suffice.

The celebration of all things green is back for the 6th year running and promises to be so 'March' fun for all. Touted to be the largest Guinness St Patrick's Celebration in Asia, if tonight's craziness was a hint of the main event, I would love to be a part of it!

Throughout the night's event, we had various mass scale dancers dancing to some latest club tunes, Rock Anthem being on of them. St Patrick's Day was suppose to be an event to celebrate fun and laughter, hence the light hearted atmosphere. I was pretty pleased to see friends everywhere, even strangers were friends tonight.

Not missing the chance to capture some fun photos with fellow bloggers and friends, I was all around the area snapping away. Wearing green, eating green food and even drinking green beer are just some of the ways in which people commemorate St Patrick's Day hence the night was filled with greenery all round. I was slight out of place with my red shirt but made up for it with that green wig!

This year, Guinness will also be spreading the fun and laughter of St Patrick's with parties throughout Malaysia in Ipoh, Penang, Melaka, Johor, Pahang and East Malaysia. In the Klang Valley itself, we will see Guinness hosting 13 St Patrick's parties from Sunway Giza to Bangsar, to Sri Hartamas and beyond! It was a good launch event, keeping me all excited anticipating the main event at Changkat Bukit Bintang happening this 17th March 2012.

What gestures would I do to make St Patrick’s Day the friendliest day of the year?

Well, if you have gone through this post, I have donned on bright green wigs, make funny faces, and smile to virtually everyone I met on the streets that evening. I believe that should be a good enough gesture to show people we mean it when we want to make St Patrick's Day the Friendliest Day of the Year! Smile, make friends, and be jolly! It'll be a whole lot of fun this coming 17th March 2012.
