First day of work tomorrow! Feeling happy and sad.
The day has come and gone!
*Yes, thank you Peel Fresh for the free fan. It was HOT and STUFFY all the way but you made it better. Even Kelly was commenting on how she was sweating.*
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.
Crappy photo coming through... It is actually nearer than it looks. My phone's camera is meh.

Crappy photo coming through... It is actually nearer than it looks. My phone's camera is meh.The main act! She sounded really great live. She rocked out the whole concert with hardly any breaks in between. As her birthday was on the 24th, some of the crowd started singing her a birthday song (although it was partially drowned out by the cheers and the music of the next song that was starting to play) and she acknowleged their efforts! Way to go Malaysia! And she proudly announced that she turned 28.
She also went barefooted throughout the concert - skipping, hopping and bouncing to her own music. She sang her famous songs from all her albums that night. The set list for her Asian tour (thanks to Wikipedia):
I really enjoyed the concert! Didn't regret going at all (trade-off for Video Games Live, which I heard was really great as well. Please come next year?) The fun part was when she sang and the crowd starting to go wild and sing along to her songs. Then once in a while she would point the microphone out towards the crowd and let us sing. Feel the love~
One thing is the sound system. Everything was really loud and I could feel my seats shaking and my hearing was a bit muffled up a while into the concert. We were also lucky it didn't rain, but even if it did, the outdoor stadium has a roof! =D
I am thankful that I have never been to any Asian concerts before, as I heard that the concerts last for 3 hours with many costume changes and dancers on a big stage with many entry points. Kelly's stage might pale in comparison to that, but her 3 guitarists, 2 backup singers, a drummer and a DJ were enough to deliver a great energetic performance.
To sum everything up, like I said on my FB status:

Kelly Clarkson nearly made me deaf, but it a good way.
If you don't know what a flying lizard is...
... it's perfectly alright. Because they are just a figment of my imagination.
You see, the last thing I saw before I went to sleep yesterday night was Lady (my kitty) toying/torturing/having a taste/mocking/haha-ing a baby lizard.
NEWS FLASH: They are my nemesis. So as cruel as it may be, I am actually glad my cat caught one. One less to worry about.

And in my dreams yesterday night, I dreamt of one particular lizard, that could fly. Wingless. With split ends on its tail. LIKE TOOTHLESS'S TAIL. Toothless is a pretty cute dragon, no?z) 1. A source of harm or ruin: Uncritical trust is my nemesis.
2. Retributive justice in its execution or outcome: To follow the proposed course of action is to invite nemesis.
3. An opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome.
4. One that inflicts retribution or vengeance.
5. Nemesis Greek Mythology The goddess of retributive justice or vengeance.
Yeah, that nemesis.
Yeah, that nemesis.
Toothless from How to Train Your DragonDawwwwwwww....
Anyway, the flying lizard in my dream is nowhere near as cute as Toothless. It's just a lizard, without wings, with a split-ended tail, and it can fly.
Perfect recipe for a nightmare. MY nightmare.
I woke up today morning (hoping it was a DREAM omgomgpleasespareme), with the dream still clear in my mind. Coming from a Chinese family... guess what's next?
Buy number lah. Weird dream + Clear details = Buy 4D time.
For the record, dreams of flying lizard = 0811
Malaysia has 3. Shop A, Shop B and Shop C. I asked my mum to buy the number for fun, since numbers that I ask my mum to buy once in a blue moon never actually opens. She buys from only Shop A and Shop B.
Guess what? The number actually opened! Nyahahaha. For once dream predictions actually come true! Second prize! I'm a few thousands richer! Think of all the things I can buy. A new handphone? Mmmm~ Already got my eyes set on a pretty nifty handphone. New shoes for work! Not to forget new clothes. I'm a happy happy girl.
NOT. The number came out in Shop C.
Although I am a bit disappointed that we didn't get any richer, I'm actually VERY surprised to find out that the number 0811 actually opened today. I 've added something to my accomplishments:
Flying lizards FTW.
NOT.

Everyday passes so quickly.
Monday 29 March
Medical check up. Wait another 1-2 weeks for offer. Please don't torture me like that! Lunch at Fullhouse in Yap Kwan Seng. I am disappointed at the fact that it is no longer pure white thanks to the wear and tear. =(
Tuesday 30 March
Qing Ming. Went to Nilai to 'visit' Granpa and then off to Cheras to pray for Great Grandparents. I wonder if they had already reincarnate since it's been so long!
Tantan's birthday! Hahaha. Too bad we didn't get to meet up for YC as it was too late after dinner. Great job Brenddie on the photo edits! I pinjam one photo for this entry ya...

Today I also met up with Von for dinner at KLCC since she's free for once! Thanks for the treat! You'll get my treat soon, hopefully... Gossip galore and some shopping done.
Wednesday 31 March
We went to Tenji! Last day of promotion, which is RM50.00++. Second time going there. I still love the steam cod fish. Mmmm.

Thursday 1 April
April Fools! Didn't get pranked thank you.
Went for movie. I watched How to Train Your Dragon. It was really nice. I feel it is more enjoyable than Up.
Friday 2 April
Stayed at home at last! I went out the past few days and I felt drained. I need some alone time with myself. Haha. Since mum went to make her yummy acar at Kaima's house and since she's not around to watch Bloomberg or Wah Lai Toi (haha!), I played some Wii.
Saturday 3 April
Today just began, but I already have the day planned out. Had to reject YY's invite for yumcha as I already planned today on Wednesday. We're making pies again! This time with mince pork and some gravy on the side. Hopefully it'll be better than the first time.

This is a show I remember watching a few years back. And today, I caught the rerun of one episode.
It is still so HILARIOUS. I went to google I found out that all the episodes are available online on 8tv's website!!

I have to say, this is one of the best local show that I have watched. In my opinion, it is better than Hong Kong's Beautiful Cooking show. And everyone speaks English so it's a plus. My Cantonese understanding is pretty low...
From wikipedia,
In each episode, two pairs, each consisting of a "cook" and a "cannot cook" (i.e. one possesses the skills while the other does not, at least for the featured meal), competing against each other in a cooking showdown. Only the "cannot cooks" will enter the kitchen and perform the cooking while the "cooks" yell instructions to their partners. To make matters harder, the "cooks" are kept fairly distant from the "cannot cooks" in a booth equipped with monitor to observe the his/her partner's performance – a camera is attached on each "cannot cook's" forehead.
Mmm, recipe for Kan-Cheong-ness.
Hosts are funny and the judges are funny. Contestants are stressed to the point of being funny. Watch the 'cook' YELL REALLY REALLY LOUDLY and the 'cannot cook' attempting to cook while being distracted by the hosts.
Now I'm marathon-ing all the episodes (sadly only 26) here.
You know, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to websites where I have to register to watch their content, but I did it immediately to feed my appetite for Kan Cheong Kitchen.
While the food one the show won't make you hungry, and might make you lose your appetite instead, the hilarious and exciting cooking segment makes it worthwhile!
Feeling down and not hungry (I have to emphasize the word not because sometimes the food comes out really bad...)? Watch it! I laugh a whole lot watching this show.
Best part? No loading time! The videos play immediately for me.
Let the Kan Cheong begin!

Just got back from Alice in Wonderland. I am slightly disappointed.
I want MadHatterXAlice now! Haha. I was seriously expecting him to show up after Absolem (Professor Snape!) did towards the end.
=(
On the way back, mum picked me up from the LRT. Then as we were passing by a primary school, the car in front of us swayed abit to the left, we thought he wanted to stop at the primary school.
Mum: Aiyoh, you see this car. Want to stop also didn't signal.
Me: Yalo yalo.
But the the car moved forward. And we saw on the road...
... a very small kitten! Double the size of your fist perhaps.
Don't worry, it was still alive! And being a lost kitten, it was wandering in the middle of the road! So mum stopped the car in the middle of the road in case we ran over it. But the kitten was so tiny we couldn't see it! She seriously didn't know what to do. I bet people behind were thinking something along the lines of:
People in the cars behind: Yor, screw this car wei. Stopping in the middle of the road for nothing. Your greatgreatgreat grandfather's road ar?
I know, Malaysian driver stereotype. But believe me, I've been in situations where I was one of the people-in-the-cars-behind-the-car-that-stopped-in-the-middle-of-the-road-for-nothing.
Then all of a sudden *jengjengjeng* we heard the sound of a horn from behind. A couple on a motorbike stopped and picked up the kitty. They were smiling at us and we were smiling at them.
... it's just like the sun was shining again on our cloudy day.
Although it seems like there will be thunderstorms later in the evening. Bless the kitty.
YESTERDAY 21/1/10
We planned a birthday surprise for a childhood friend, Tantan. Although her birthday is a week later, all of us were free, so we did it on the yesterday. We bought a cake and went to her house, singing a birthday song at her door. Fun times. Fun times.
Her 21st birthday on the 21st of March. We rock! =P

Hi miss Alice
What kind of dreams
Do you see
With your eyes of glass?
Do they fascinate you?
Can you just say, these are HOLYAMAZING.
These are videos from a group called Ok Go. I don't know anything about them.
...besides the fact that they have very interesting music videos!
I saw this music video of theirs years ago. The epic treadmill video. Can you imagine how hard it is to do that?
And today, while channel surfing, I found this:
Don't let the first image when you play this ^ second video fool you. I thought it was some HORRORGORE music video until I saw the next few seconds. And it gets better and better and better and better and better and better.
Didn't really liked the song though. Or it was because the awesome video totally grabbed my attention that I did not open my ears because my eyes were doing all the work.
