In a follow-up to the first Kronenbourg 1664 ‘Taste the French Way of Life” BBQ Party at The Roof, First Avenue Bandar Utama (which you can read more here – https://timchew.net/2014/08/15/kronenbourg-1664s-rooftop-bbq-party-at-stratosphere-the-roof/) comes the second party in the 8-part series – Movie Night! This time the event took place at GSC Signature at The Gardens, Mid Valley on 5 September 2014 and as usual was open to Kronenbourg 1664 consumers who RSVP-ed on their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/KronenbourgMY

To quickly recap what the Kronenbourg 1664 ‘Taste the French Way of Life’ campaign is all about, it is a brand new thematic campaign about work/ life balance aimed at giving you and your friends some enjoyable, memorable yet simple experiences. It’s about a balance of achievement versus enjoyment, and while Malaysians put much effort into their careers, we sometimes forget to relax and de-stress. That’s where the French way of life comes in – having some fun and excitement while enjoying the moment.

The venue for this event was GSC Signature in The Gardens, Mid Valley and this is a pic of the mall shot from the cinema

First order of business was to get an ice-cold Kronenbourg 1664

There was also a photobooth there that printed out all the photos taken with the K1664my hashtag

They encased their printer in this vintage box which was really cool. That's my photo which was ready to be collected. — They encased their printer in this vintage box which was really cool. That’s my photo which was ready to be collected.

Everyone was happy to chill and unwind after a long working week

Remember - it's all about work/ life balance. Work hard but learn to unwind too! — Remember – it’s all about work/ life balance. Work hard but learn to unwind too!

After dinner, we headed up to the hall where the pretty Beatrice and Yiwen were waiting to give us popcorn and drinks.

The premier hall has really comfy high back chairs

Guests were shown the new Kronenbourg 1664 interactive animated video reminding them to appreciate the moment and also to turn off their mobile phones after which Kenrick has guests try to throw popcorn into their partner's mouths. — Guests were shown the new Kronenbourg 1664 interactive animated video reminding them to appreciate the moment and also to turn off their mobile phones after which Kenrick has guests try to throw popcorn into their partner’s mouths.

Somehow even though they were this close, Naomi and her boyfriend managed to both miss! Lol. They weren’t smiling for long though as after the movie started many girls were clutching their boyfriends tightly during the scary scenes (guys, that’s why you bring girls to watch these sort of movies ha ha!).

Guests had a little surprise in store after the movie ended as there were vouchers hidden inside the popcorn which earned them some cool prizes from Kronenbourg 1664

Five lucky fans walked away with the Eiffel Tower styled Kronenbourg 1664 beer tower and limited edition mini cooler. Unfortunately I didn't win one but hopefully I will next time! — Five lucky fans walked away with the Eiffel Tower styled Kronenbourg 1664 beer tower and limited edition mini cooler.

Earlier during the dinner, I caught up with an old friend of mine who’s the Marketing Manager (Premium Brands) of Carlsberg Malaysia (importer and distributor of Kronenbourg 1664) who shared with me, “The Kronenbourg 1664 ‘Taste the French Way of Life’ series is not about going out and partying till dawn. Our mission is to get people to put an end to working on a Friday evening and start indulging in occasions where sharing good conversation, catching a show together or even just enjoying a good meal brings to life a memorable and enjoyable experience. After a long and hard week of work, we at Kronenbourg 1664 would like to help them start their weekends right through a series of enjoyable and relaxing Friday evenings”.

If you missed the first two events don’t fret as there are more Kronenbourg 1664’s “Taste The French Way of Life” events scheduled from now until December!
