from penang...

just a short update from penang (tanjung bungah)...

well, had a great time with kam and sharon the past weekend... but i'll update more about that later with some pics... anyway, this is the first time i met sharon and well, i found out she's pretty great to hang out with (always cheerful but with some lame jokes which she insist is logic)... good choice kam... hahaha... just joking, no offense ok?

anyway, i'm in cl's lil bro's house (room actually) right now waiting to watch the long awaited movie - TRANSFORMERS!!! i hope it's gonna be good... =)

hmm, what else? oh yeah... i learnt some pretty shocking news... regarding family (nov the 3rd stuff)... will talk bout that later...

that's all for now...

070707

i just think it would be cool to be able to look back at this title - 070707...

if i were a little bit older, i would probably get married or something at a date like this, hahaha...

anyway, about 3 hours from now, i'll be heading up to penang with cl, kam and kam's gf (sharon)... we'll be putting up a night at the g hotel (weird name, huh?) and after that kam and sharon will head back to kl on sunday while cl will return home to alma and i'll spend about a week or so with my grandma... so i guess there won't be much blogging for about a week from now...

about the trip, we'll be travelling in my little white "ferrari" (see pic above)... hahaha... coz i do plan to do a little bit of driving once kam gets back to kl. at the moment, the list of places are langkawi (to get some miniatures wine and liquors for my collection), padang besar (might even cross into thailand) and cherating (i dun think this will happen)... so we'll just have to see how things goes...

oh yeah, just a little update about my upcoming show on national tv... hahaha... i spent a day at the petronas research centre in bangi to get some visuals and it was, well... interesting... hahaha... i mean, the whole atmosphere was relaxed but at times it just freaks me out when the camera gets really close to my face... and also, it was such a coincidence that a former sauber petronas engineer (now with bmw sauber) was there visiting some old frens... so i got the chance to meet him and he gave me this -

isn't it cool to be able to give someone a name card like this? it remains a dream for me... at least for now... =)

ok, i really got to get some sleep now for the long drive tomorrow... or maybe i should say "later"...

good night and sweet dreams...

sammi - live in genting (220607)

like i said, i was going to upload some pics from the sammi concert last week... i know it's a little bit delayed, but that's the way my blog is gonna be for a while i guess - i'm still busy painting and cleaning my house and i dun see my schedule clearing up for this blog once i start working which is at the end of this month.

ok, back to the main story. sammi cheng - i started listening to her songs in form 3 i think. that's almost 10 years ago. the album was arigatou and i got hooked the first time i heard her. well, to cut a long story short, i dun think there is any concert of any other female singer from hong kong worth attending at the moment.

honestly, i was excited when i found out that she's coming to malaysia. i thought i've missed out on watching her live since she went quiet for some time... with that, i booked the tickets the very next day only to find that it's almost sold out. so i got the best available tickets... although it cost me 130 bucks per ticket, it was well worthwhile as i found out... =)

sammi's opening act... she looked really sexy in this number... =)

i liked that blue thing dancing behind her... too bad i can't get a clear shot of it...

sammi explaining to the audience the true reason behind her disappearance for about 2 years...

this is when the show became really upbeat - too bad the audience weren't really showing any vibes. most of them were just sitting in their seats... i guess malaysians just aren't a wild crowd by nature...

she went really crazy in the middle of this - it did get the crowd going a while... but, it didn't really matter... still an entertaining show... =)

her encore performance is actually not an encore at all... it was well rehearsed and she performed an additional 2 songs... or was it 3? i can't really remember...

well, as this is only the third concert that i've been to, i can't really be rating it amongst the rest... but i dare say it's definitely worth the price... a wonderful performer with a strong voice... i wasn't disappointed... =)

with that, i will end this post with my first ever video posting... since there's a limit of 100mb, this will just be a short clip of sammi live in genting...
