The day has come and gone!



I went with my fellow fans, Tantan and Brenddie! I'm sorry girls but this was the only group pic I have...

Thank God for Star LRT, Bukit Jalil was just a train ride away.

Concert was scheduled to start at 8pm. So we went a lil bit early and sat inside the stadium. All of us didn't bring in cameras because we thought they would conduct bag checks and keep our cameras if they did find any. THEY DIDN'T. We regretted, but we had phones with cameras anyway, while the photos are not really clear (3.2...) I could somewhat fully enjoy the concert without worrying about taking photos.

The same could not be said about a father and daughter pair sitting in front of us. The father was busy snapping away pictures of her daughter having fun. So much that Tantan and Brenddie got jealous. Right? =P

Bren, you should totally follow your dad to the Deep Purple concert! Nyahaha.


The view from our RM198 seat. It was a level higher than the stage but it was okay as there were 2 screens. And we were center enough to see her and the band.

As we were early and already seated, Natalie from Hitz.fm was busy entertaining everyone with free posters. But because we paid less and was therefore a level higher, the poster she threw couldn't reach us.

Besides posters, they also decided to launch a balloon avalanche on us. Situated all the way at the top level were a lot of balloons held up by a net. They decided to release them suddenly without warning.


Thanks to Sony Ericsson for the surprise balloons! Everyone was busy throwing them forward. It's amazing to see how many balloons were falling from the sky.

Then, the opening acts came on! Punctual as well. 8pm sharp wei...

Jaclyn Victor, winner of Malaysian Idol sang a medley and Suki, winner of One in a Million sang a Malay song and played a little violin, which Tantan commented it was rather 'unskillfully". I have to say that while being somewhat out of place, Suki's dress was very very nice. There was a red ruffle madness going on. But me likey. I read on a blog (Google does wonders) that her dress costs RM15,000. But for Kelly Clarkson's concert? I felt she chose the wrong clothes to put on that evening. Kelly Clarkson herself wore only a black top, a skirt and leggings for the whole duration of her concert.

Which ran for only 1 and a half hours (a bit short, I want more! XD)...

Jaclyn's voice was great. I listened to her live before (thanks to Tantan) and I was hoping she would sing some of Kelly's songs as well but she only sang one song that night. The crowd was cheering pretty loud for her too. You can tell the difference between cheers for Suki and her.

I got 3 bouquet of flowers instead of none! Thank you so so much!! T.T
A very practical gift exchange with Von! *hugs*

And my sis got me a money blackhole!

She got me an empty house (with lights FTW), now up to me to fill it! So exciting! I'm thinking to start another blog for them. Haha.

... So, now you know what present to get me for many birthdays to come? LOL

Picture post! Cuz I'm lazy...

1/1/2010

This is the first time I spend a festive holiday in Genting.

The crowd can kill. I bet it is as big as the population in Penang.

We left at about 10am, and arrived 11+.


I went to the indoor theme park in the Resort part of Genting, the old one. I didn't play anything though. I'm surprised myself! All the while I only wanted to go indoors, as I'm too much of a coward to play the outdoor park.

Why? I'm guessing that I'm torn between winning the Big prize which was a really cute purple hippo (>.<) or unlucky enough to not win anything and instead left with 50+ tickets which IMO, not worth exchanging for anything worthwhile. Good stuff can only be redeemed with at least 100+ tickets. And since I'm only there for awhile, I decided to just stand by and watch everyone else having fun. =(

Tried to sneak in the casino with my mum and relatives... OF COURSE kena caught lah... Sigh.

Trust me, I'll get stopped next yet too even if I'm legally 21.

So I spent the afternoon wandering around. I even had a dizzy/fainting spell while eating lunch! Lucky I was sitting down or I would have fell. I'm weak, I know that since I had several blackouts in secondary school. =/

Speaking of eating, the meals up there were terrifyingly expensive! Now I know why we should always bring cup noodles lol! Imagine 3 plates of nasi campur and 3 teh tarik costing RM80+! I could have 123124342 plates and glasses of teh in KL.

Oh, we visited Lim Goh Tong's museum!

Merry Christmas to all!

Tomorrow morning I will be heading off to Genting to watch Francis Yip! To those who don't know who she is... I gotta say this to you:











Don't worry, I don't know either! I heard she's a good singer though! =)

I just can't wait to play in the arcade.

Once a again Merry Christmas!

"The Winter Solstice Festival or The Extreme of Winter is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians during the dongzhi solar term on or around December 21 when sunshine is weakest and daylight shortest; i.e., on the first day of the dongzhi solar term. The origins of this festival can be traced back to the yin and yang philosophy of balance and harmony in the cosmos. After this celebration, there will be days with longer daylight hours and therefore an increase in positive energy flowing in. Traditionally, the Dongzhi Festival is also a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers (especially in the southern parts of China and in Chinese communities overseas) is the making and eating of Tangyuan (湯圓, as pronounced in Cantonese; Mandarin Pinyin: Tāng Yuán) or balls of glutinous rice, which symbolize reunion."


Like many other Chinese families, my family celebrated the Winter Solstice festival, complete with family reunion and 'Tong Yuen'. My aunt, her friend, my sis and her husband came back home for dinner. Chatted, updated each other and had lots of 'Tong Yuen'. I'm worried that they won't digest. (T.T)

So... since the 'Tong Yuen' can be bought in supermarket nowadays, my mum decided to make it more traditionally, she bought multicoloured doughs from the wet market nearby.

Back from 2 days of Comic Fiesta. Needless to say, I enjoyed myself this time around. Partly due to the fact that I did not volunteer this year. XD

Sales was pretty good. It was a confirm profit but I did spend on other people's stuff so...

Did not take alot of pictures. Less than 5 perhaps. Cosplay photos will be everywhere anyway. Save my battery. Aha.

Oh, and the emcees were WONDERFUL. I like their sporting attitude and sense of humour. Wicked and a lil bit of underlying messages that I manage to catch. They make CF funny and alive, especially during intermissions and even during the Cosplay competition. Imagine some goody-goody emcee. Booooooorinnngggggg. I hope they bring them back a few more years! XP

And on Day 2, during intermission, they played Gee by Girls Generation. Then a bunch of girls started dancing to the steps that Gee is famous for. Then there were cheering. And more Korean songs were played. Sorry Sorry by Suju and Abracadabra from BEG and even Nobody from Wonder Girls! Korea invaded CF. Haha. The bunch of girls then got invited to do an impromptu performance on stage following much cheering. I have to girl them props for being so sporting too! Seems like alot of people in CF are actually into Korean groups for the deejays to have that song on the playlist. I even heard Lollipop from BigBang and 2NE1. ZOMG I was so happy inside!

Will update more about it soon if I have anything to add!

One thing though that I like about CF, it's that I can relate to most of the people there. Even talk to strangers! I'm so happy. Lol.

I can't wait for CF '10. I hope its somewhere like Sunway again.

...things happen. Lol.

I'm really surprised. Grateful. Speechless.

I've achieved something I've NEVER thought of achieving. Unconsciously I achieved it.

That's the thing about me, you know. All my life, I do not place any expectations on myself education wise. I hardly pressure myself in education. It's all about my pace.

And today, I have achieved, in my book, what seems to be success after success. Surprise after surprise. First with PTS, then in UPSR, then in PMR, then SPM, even Pre-U and now di menara gading.



For once, I've put myself to the test, and I feel that I'm improving. The battle was half won. =)



CF is coming this weekend. I'm excited - sewing, packing and decorating. I truly enjoy doing this and I can only hope that other people like my work as well. I hope that in the future, this can be one of my side income. Haha.

Sewing was really not my hobby. It's actually more to plushie making. Keychains. Crafts. But when people ask me what is that I do, I just tell them sewing. Because well... it's easier to imagine what I do?

In commemoration of Xmas last year, I made these to sell in CF 08:

A Santa onigiri keychain. And they sold really well. Thank you! (T.T)

This year I made something for Xmas too, but just something really small. I'll post it during Xmas if I remember!

By chance, today when I went to Wangsa Walk, I was stopped by 2 girls. One in a masquerade mask extending her hand and talked to me in Mandarin. I smiled at her and said I couldn't understand her. Then, she said to me:
