I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, saying ayo, gotta let go
I wanna celebrate and live my life, saying ayo, baby let’s go!
You know about Arthur’s Day right? Of course you do. In case you’ve been hiding in a pit for the past few years (people do that all the time, just ask Mr. Hussein ;)) let me give you the lowdown. Arthur’s Day is a celebration of 250 years of the world’s favorite stout! Hailing from Dublin, Guinness is a brand that has survived a ΒΌ of a millennium while still remaining a favorite of drinkers all over the world!
History lesson time! Arthur’s Day first started in 2009 when they launched the 250th anniversary of Guinness β I was one of the fortunate few to be in attendance. The event kick-started with an out-of-this-world (literally) contest.
In more relatable terms, Arthur’s Day is also the biggest concert in KL for two years running! π
Arthur’s Day 2009
I also did a video with Cindy that I’m rather proud of for Arthur’s Day 2010.
I fondly remember all the friends I got to know over a couple of pints when I went to the first Arthur’s Day concert in 2009.
Arthur’s Day has been synonymous with triple A list stars coming to Malaysia β in 2009 it was the Black Eyed Peas, Sean Kingston headlined last year and true to its history of getting the best artists to come, TAIO CRUZ will be performing this year!
It is truly an experience money can’t buy. The chanting fans, the super-charged atmosphere, the epic party-cum-concert with artists you usually just hear on the radio, the merry tinkle of Guinness pints (well, they use plastic cups to comply with regulations but you catch my drift).
Well, this year, Arthur’s Day is going to be different β you can’t BUY the tickets β it’s NOT FOR SALE. The only way you can get in this year is by snagging one of the exclusive tickets and I’m pleased to announce that I have a few pairs to give away (no worries, you won’t be going alone, bring along a friend).
I’m going to give away five (5) PAIRS of tickets to Arthur’s Day, and I won’t make you jump through hoops to get it. These are not mere tickets, but exclusive invites β an experience, if you will.

Thanks for participating bro! π
The photo has to be visible to everyone though – I think yours is on a private profile so I can’t view it. π
Can you try again? Thanks Edison!
ops, changed it already bro. i think you could view it now. T_T
Hello Edison!
I tried and I still can’t view it…I think it’s the privacy settings. The error message I got was:
The page you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page.
So it’s either a tagging issue on one or more of the people in the photo (depends on their privacy settings) or your own privacy profile settings.
