What’s up everybody! It’s time to raise your beer mugs to Oktoberfest again!

So what is all the fuss about Oktoberfest? For those of you who think that it’s a merrymaking, beer consuming event, well…you’re absolutely RIGHT! Oktoberfest is an annual festival celebrated in Germany since the 1800s. When it comes to this festival, everyone would gather together…and I’m not talking about 10 or 20 people, it’s about thousands of people coming together to have a beer-tastic time! When you hear about Oktoberfest, no doubt you will see plenty of delicious German delicacies and of course the main course of the event is “BEER”. BURPP!!!! Excuse me!

So I was invited to the Oktoberfest party held at BERJAYA Times Square Hotel with my ‘CREW’, Ezran and Hisham. We were so amazed by the people that attended this festival. Why? We were all experiencing a different world, and a culture beyond our peninsula shores.  It was a totally awesome night to remember. They had a live German band playing folk songs and some English hits. We danced like the Germans did by joining them on table tops – bustin’ a German groove. Can you believe that? Well, I have some pictures to share with you guys, please enjoy!

One thousand guests and counting! Apparently, the crowd was waiting for the band to march in.

Here comes the awesome band freshly flown from Germany.

Toooottttt!! One of the member showing his skills.

The grand opening of the event. Check out that barrel.

The band members opened ceremony by filling up their mugs with delicious, golden beer.

Oh, I like this one! The band and the ladies were dancing the chicken dance. It was hilarious!

Clap! Clap! Clap! Chicky! Chicky Chicky!

The dance ended and everyone had fun.

Warming up their instruments for the first song.

Ah-ha! Check out the beautiful ladies! The band was getting ready to cheers German-style!.

Let the beer-tastic festival begin!

She was one of the dancers on the stage. Cheers!

Yes, apparently the taller you are, your beer stays cooler for a longer period of time. Just kidding!

My two lovely colleagues – Orsi and Agar, having a good time.

Let’s get it started in here!

They did great!

Cheers to Agar

This guitarist’s fingers moves like a G6.

Table top dancing requires some intricate footwork skills. Not recommended for tipsy drinkers.

The more the merrier!

Cheese everybody! These are my buddies who attended the event.

These were some of the award-winning chefs who prepared the mouth-watering food for the people. Great job guys!

Notice how the girls got prettier as the night drew to an end?

All good things must come to an end. The party dispersed at 12.30am and everyone went home with a smile on their faces. However, there were still some people wanting to make the night last longer by belting German songs at their tables.

As a summary, it was an entertaining and an educational night for everyone. We got to dance, eat, drink and learn about the German culture and its beautiful and friendly people. I would like to apologize to the food lovers who really wanted to see the pictures of the German cuisines. My crew and I were so caught up with the party that by the the time we went to the buffet line, it was all empty. Oops!!!

Stick around for more events coming up.

Before I sign out, I would like to say thank you to those who supported me in this event. Cheers buddies!
