| Magnificent Colonial Architecture |
The Carcosa Seri Negara is a luxury hotel on two adjacent hills inside the Lake Gardens park in Kuala Lumpur. It is owned by the Malaysian Government. The hotel includes two colonial mansions, one named Carcosa, the other Seri Negara.

The Carcosa mansion was built in 1896-1897 as the official residence of Sir Frank Athelstane SwettenhamBritish High Commissioners in Malaya of the then Resident-General of the Federated Malay States. It was designed by Arthur Charles Norman a senior government architect of the Public Works Department in Malaya, at a cost of about $25,000. With the eclectic fusion of Neo-Gothic and Tudor styles, the residence has more than eight bedrooms including master bedroom and guest rooms; and eleven bathrooms.
It became a hotel in 1989.
The Seri Negara was originally known as the Governor's Residence when it was opened in 1913 as the official guest house of Governor of the Straits Settlement. It was later known as the King's House.The King's House was vacated by the British High Commissioner on August 31, 1957, and was returned to the Malayan Government. It was then opened as the Istana Tetamu or Guest's Palace, hosting many visiting dignitaries .In 1989, when it was combined with Carcosa into a luxury hotel, the building was renamed Seri Negara.
The name "Carcosa" was chosen by Sir Frank Swettenham and he revealed to the Editor of “British Malaya” the reason it was chosen:
SIR,
In the April magazine your correspondent in Malaya asks me, in courteous terms, to tell him why I gave the name “Carcosa” to the house that was designed and built for me at Kuala Lumpur by the late Mr. C.E. Spooner, assisted by Mr. A.B. Hubback – as he was in those days – and I have no objection to answer the question even though the simple truth may spoil a number of excellent stories. When this house was finished and occupied I read a book which interested me. It was called “The King in Yellow” and at the beginning of this book there were some verses with a note explaining that they came from Cassilda’s song in “The King in Yellow”, Act 1, Scene 2.

Carcosa Seri Negara is in itself unique, parties can be held at almost anywhere on its premises. Its Terrace adjacent to the Drawing Room where tea is served,overlooks a spacious luscious green garden.

Violetblush just adores LadyJava (LJ), the woman behind LadyJava Creations. Not only did LJ put up with all our insane requests, she guided us step by step on how to manage the "makeover" of the Violetblush web-blog that you are now seeing today. Most of our designers either quit (or cabut! ) after 3 design reviews...but not LJ.
This lovely lass is someone you would love to hang out with and talk "blog" all day over a plate of Laksa Johore. LJ was strictly commissioned by us to do the following:
Mission :Major revamp
Objective:Sell! Sell! Sell!
Deadline: 2 weeks only
What I love about LJ is that just like us, she took into account of her client's personality in all her designs. She takes the time to understand her clients and never restricts herself to familiar territories. She was willing to explore my crazy ideas and concept. She trusted my instincts and delivered my thoughts in the most creative way one could even imagined. Not only did she successfully put forward my vision into her work, the blog makeover was indeed a personal makeover for me too.
VERDICT: Mission accomplished
PERKS: Friendship
Some of the insane request we asked for from LJ:
1. The Slider
This slider, with navigation buttons, will display thumbnails of images that can be linked to certain post in the Violetblush blog or any other sites as well. Awesome!!

2. Pop out images
We have a lot of awesome graphics but we didn't really like displaying them too big on the blog so LJ introduced this feature to us whereby we can choose the 'Small" or "Medium" images to post and once clicking on the images, visitors will be able to see a much bigger picture.

4. The Guestbook
To mark this special event, we wanted a guestbook to be incorporated into the blog. You can now see it in action at the post: Violetblush Unveiled. So make sure you leave you mark there to commemorate this very special event.
5. Countdown widget
If you were here three days ago before the unveiling, you would have probably noticed our insane request number 5. This widget lets you join in the countdown...Well.. you just got to be there.. lol!
Below are some of the creative work that LJ has done over the years. LJ is listed as one of our affiliates and heads the Violetblush Premium Social Media Package portfolio. For inquiries, please click her logo on the right side bar of our page.

Before - Not appealing to visitors
After Blog Makeover - Gorgeous
At Violetblush Eventz we get easily excited about everything unique and because our events always has a story to tell, the photos finishing becomes equivalently important to our clients .This is what Adli does best, capturing important moments and turning them into something beautiful. So when Adli showed us photos all put together into one beautiful photobook-we were ecstatic! Here are a few samples we'd like to share. From an event planner point of view, we definitely recommend photobooks as class reunion gifts or graduation momentos. It goes without saying that these photobooks are also lovely keepsakes for baby showers and weddings.
For many , birthdays will always be a stressful time of year, baking and decorating the perfect children’s birthday cake doesn't have to be. Sugarpink Icing bakes great birthday cakes. There is nothing that our affiliates can't do :). Voila! Instant birthday gratification!
1. Character Cakes: If your little one is obsessed with a film, television, or cartoon character, or even a licensed doll or toy, a character cake is the no-fail way to go! Disney character cakes or Barbie cakes are always popular with the girls, and what little boy wouldn't enjoy a Bob the Builder or Harry Potter or G.I. Joe cake?
2. Sports Cakes: Your active girl or boy will jump for a sports themed cake. Some easy sports birthday cake ideas are decorating round cakes to resemble baseballs, soccer balls, or basketballs. Sporty girls and boys will also love a cake that resembles their favorite sports field.
3. Animal Cakes: The younger set will especially enjoy a cake decorated to resemble their favorite animal. Kittens, puppies, pandas, and teddy bears are classic favorites. See our Madagascar Theme Party.
