Desmond Kiu: Arthur Guinness in Kuala Lumpur

I spent the whole of Friday & Saturday nights out in almost a dozen pubs, ferrying Kenny around - as Arthur Guinness.

In conjuction with Arthur's Day, which is happening this Friday at Sunway Lagoon - those of you fans of the Black Eyed Peas, do go get your tix now - Guinness has decided to warm it up by reviving Arthur Guinness, who painted the town red on Thu, Fri & Sat nites, greeting all Guinness & BEP fans and reminding them of his big 250th anniversary this Friday.

For those who knew their Guinness well, they also stood a chance to win mosh pit tickets to the Black Eyed Peas, how exciting! Coincidentally, Arthur also bumped into Pierre, a friend i've met through Timothy - and he too got a pair of mosh pits... he knew all his Guinness by just reading Kenny's blog... and after winning a pair in front of his 3 boys, he steadily went "sorry, the other pair's for my girl"... well, i guess they were drinking on his tab so they got nothing to say lol.

Anyway, ima be posting some backstage pictures ;)

This is Kenny, after being dressed up as Arthur Guinness. Maybe he shouldn't be holding his head so high. I mean i like the arrogance but the black sideburns are revealing! HAHAH

Not exactly backstage anymore but this is Arthur interacting with the crowd at Sid's pub in South Bangsar. To be honest, i've never quite been to this pub before but they serve pretty decent sausages and they pour really good Guinness! so i'll definitely be coming back.

Kenny actually started off with a running nose and a cold brain - the weather was wet - he was supposed to greet Guinness drinkers but the first table he chose had nobody drinking Guinness but he was able to quickly turn it around - "OH, non of you are Guinness drinkers here... HOW CAN?" .......... LOL

These bunch of Chinese boys were givin it to Arthur quite alot but they really enjoyed his company. And they were all drinking Guinness - so well deserved. Something quite significant they did was when they toasted to Arthur, they did it Chinese style - "Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Arthur!" haha

These ppl knew Kenny so when they spotted him, they went "HI KENNY!"... but Kenny in the line of duty professionally answered them... "WHO's KENNY?!"... "Im Arthur!"

These guys got lucky and won a pair of mosh pit tickets to the Black Eyed Peas.

And in any Guinness event, you'd be expecting some hot promoter girls ;) - Eejin & Chantelle. Apparently Chantelle is also a Miss Malaysia pageant. They both walked Arthur around and his 2 daughters ;)

This guy gave a go at the most pit tickets too.

But he couldn't answer the final question - What is the real colour of Guinness? It's not black. Anyone wanna try?

This gentlemen in red, is Arthur. And Arthur is his real name. Coincidentally, it was his birthday too. To Arthur!
