十八般武艺 showcase

22 August 2010


Last weekend, I did something that, come to think of it, is even less constructive than lazing around at home.. hahahha.. Something tat i wouldnt have imagined myself doing if not for a sudden bout of craziness -- Stargazing! The type where you go and queue for hours on end just to catch a glimpse of some star.. hehhehe.. i think the last time i did tat was during JJ Lin's fourth album tour (its his 7th album now, i think) during my diploma days.. @.@~

The idol of countless ppl i know.. After watching Love in Disguise, i was kind of mesmerised by his handsomeness on screen.. thus the sudden idea to go to his showcase at 1Utama Central Park Avenue with Adelynne (her purpose was to go see her 'lover') and her youngest aunt, eventhough we're obviously a little old for such stuff, muahahha O.o...

The yet to be decorated stage..

Since 1U is so huge, we decided to go search for the venue before having lunch.. imagine, the showcase was at 6pm but we were there before lunch, cos we were afraid that we wouldnt be able to get a parking space if we went later.. :S

Special entrances for media representatives and homaniacs???
hahhaha.. thats Leehom's fans club~

Had lunch at Dragon-i, and you can guess by the expression on her face how the service was, grr.. another place im banning cos of the lousy service.. Where can you find a head waiter who suddenly turns round to chit chat with another waiter while we're ordering, and while we were halfway through the name of a dish some more! wth~

After lunch and walking ard inspecting luggage bags for Adelynne's Korea trip, we headed over to Central Park Avenue to check out the queue, that was 4pm.. See her helpless face when we forced her to join the CD buying queue.. muahahahha...

the crew frantically unpacking and selling CDs at a steep price of RM50 each *gasp*

and little wonder they were so frantic, the crowd gathered round the counter was quite big

the queue to enter the showcase area stretching alll the way to the back and winding round again to the front... 4pm @.@~

The Homaniacs...
they got better treatment compared to us 'normal people' but god knows how early they had to start sitting there..

since we were already there, we joined the queue as well..

damn hot, luckily i had my trusty umbrella~

According to Adelynne, her 'lover' likes palm trees and extreme weather.. last time he was here, the showcase was at Sunway surf beach with lot of palm trees and heavy rain.. this time oso got palm trees but it was super duper hot!

She bought 3 copies! so i could pinjam one to enter the CD zone..

gift that came with the CD, a key to Leehom's bedroom, lol.. jkjk.. obviously an unshaped key~ :)

The tiny stage~

stuck in a sea of little girls and boys.. :S

taken around 6pm, still going strong...

My FM DJ Royce was the emcee.. the guy i once bumped into in a lift at the Gardens~

I was so far away~ :(

all the media representatives invited onstage..

After the toilet break~

The superstar was late.. only came at 6.30pm and only sang half a song (we sang the rest).. Then starting to sign autographs for awhile before announcing that he needed a toilet break, then disappeared for half an hour.. :S damn off-putting lor.. personally, i felt the whole thing was rather badly organised.. aside from the toilet incident, after being squeezed around (no proper queue) and boiled alive (no ventilation) for another 2 more hours, we were told that the signing had come to an end, even when there were still quite a number of ppl who hadnt gotten their CDs signed...

Then why did the emcee bother to keep asking ppl to buy the CD to get an authograph when the promise couldnt be kept?! Luckily im not a real big fan, if not i would have been very disappointed.. Heard many little girls complaining that they had missed their movie or had an exam the next day, even one who was so traumatised that she exclaimed that she would never ever come to a showcase again..

Thankfully my previous experiences were much better, maybe cos of the different organisers.. My conclusion is tat its better to choose a lesser known idol or at least a less popular one than Leehom.. Last time when i went to see JJ Lin, we had air-con, there was a queue, everyone got their CDs signed, got to shake hands with him and he sang about 4 songs.. :) This one was not worth the hassle at all... :S

Only Adelynne managed to get on stage and she came back with this:


Her aunt joked that she would sign the remaining 2 CDs and nobody would know the difference, LoL~ Pity the poor fans who didnt get an autograph and had to be scolded by the security personnel.. I left immediately when they started yelling at the crowd.. Boo.. All in all, not a very good experience lor.. :(

PS: I blame the lousy organisers for this.. Hmph!

Hatin' Feb~

February is here already, is the Earth spinning faster or what?! The main point is i dont think February agrees with me that much.. have been hating it as soon as it began and i have no idea why :* is it cos CNY is coming and i have nothing to wear or Valentines is coming and i dont have a date? What the heck, even work is becoming more and more hectic and buses getting less and less punctual.. Grrrr.... Hating February at the moment.. Luckily it so short @.@~

PS: Finally got my appetite back after a whole week.. Arghhh...

Spring is is the air~

Wow.. how fast.. its that time of the year again.. when all the red clothes come out from the closet and the sun is extra hot.. Chinese New Year is here again.. As im typing this, im already back from dear old Penang, darker and wider than before i left kl.. I swear Penang Island is so hot that it most probably win ' the hottest place in malaysia' contest (if there were such a contest lah) >.<

I drafted this post at first to remember my first yee-sang tossing in 2010 cos i was very excited about it.. but that was before my 3rd yee sang this year

The dullest looking yee-sang i've seen in Room Eighteen...

I actually love this.. but once a year is satisfying enough already,hehe....

Anyways, one more week of CNY to go.. I want more angpows!!!!! :P

TGIF!

After the turmoil of the past week, the sky finally looks clear again..

Lessons from this past week:
-you really panic when you feel like there's no roof over your head
-dealing with government agencies is a job from hell >.<
-finally know what it feels like to be stressed at work...
-your head aches if your nose is blocked, causing you to not be able to breathe properly @.@~

Anyways, i'm glad that the week is finally over... looking forward to the weekend :) finally wanna start using my lucky draw steamer :):) and more time to potter abt and finally update some of my very backdated posts :):):)

Yippee~~ Its Friday!!

Springcleaning~

A new year a new environment~ Thats what i hoped to get on New Year's Day, and i'm pleased to say that we made it happen :D as the title very obviously states, I spent the first day of the new year cleaning the house, specifically the kitchen...

Ever since the first day i moved in, i always tried my best not to step into the kitchen if i could help it.. I filled my water bottle at the office, bought packed meals, refrained from drinking hot beverages, anything to prevent myself from going in, wanna know why?

Messy

Dirty


Grimy (dont even get me started on the inside of the fridge)

Untidy

but after one month of avoiding, I couldnt stand it anymore and began thinking how i could improve the situation.. Luckily some of my housemates were eager to help :) so we spent the best part of 1st January 2010 cleaning up~ We each chose a corner and started with our kitchen overhaul..

My bedmate hard at work :) -Surprise! You're on camera :P

Work in progress~

Years of grease being scrubbed away~

Spot the difference~

It was hard work, and a total of 5 ppl still spent quite some time to finish.. Lots of sweat and aching arms as well but I'm glad that we can now proudly show ppl into the kitchen without feeling embarassd.. hehehe..

Lots of water, soap and soiled sponges later:

Lol even the kettles are shiny~

Can finally let me steamer out into the open.. haha

终于可以见人啦!

I think the impact would be greater if i added some before after angles, hehehe~

Tadaa~
