...About Linkin Park Living Things World Tour Concert

 At this time yesterday, I was at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium waiting for Linkin Park to get on stage. They rocked the stage so hard from the moment they stepped onto the stage til they stepped off the stage about an hour and a half later.

AH-MAY-ZING vocals, arrangement, rapping and showmanship. Although the sound system left a bit more to be desired, their performances were flawless. They hardly took any breaks in between each song. It was like listening to their cd, perfect vocals, awesome music, end of song, fade out, then next song. OWHMAIGAWD. AWESOME.

They sang about 4 to 5 songs before stopping and have a lil chat then got right back to performing. In the middle of the concert they took a super short break, less than 5 minutes then continued rocking til the end.

Imagine this, they opened with "Faint" and ended with "Bleed It Out". HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!

FAST PACED ROCKING ALL THE WAY!

1 and a half hours passed by so fast. I didn't want it to end.

Now let me go listen to all my Linkin Park songs >_<

...About Urbanscapes 2010

I know this is a gila babeng outdated post bloody hell. No mood to blog lar nowadays. But here goes. Mostly pictures, not taken by me though.

It was my first time going to this event. Didn't know what to expect. Didn't even buy the tickets to watch the performances.

This year's 'Urbanscapes' sign is so darn ugly. You can't even see the word lar. No budget ka? Ignore the sesat boy in the pic.

For those of you who don't know what Urbanscapes is about. It's basically a day festival of arts, fashion and music. There's fashion bazaars where things are not exactly cheap, art pieces on display, and music performances throughout the day.

You can expect all kinds of fashion on all kinds of people..

Quirky stuff for sale or on display..

A friend said that the first ever Urbanscapes was the best. It was all about the music. Now, most people there are over dressed. They don't come for the music, they come to be seen. Oh well. We'll see who's performing next year. Maybe then I'll actually buy the ticket.

See ya next year... I think...maybe...I don't know.

...About redAMP's Are You ASEAN's Best Band?

The search is over. Golden Dragon from Yogyakarta, Indonesia has been crowned ASEAN's best band!

The top 3 bands that performed that night were truly Top 3! The were all great in their own way. Each band represented different genres, even different languages.

1st runner up, sixty-nine from Thailand.

3rd runner up, Pancake 80 from Philippines.

Being there during their audition, and talking to them in between, made me feel as if we have a connection somehow. I felt so revved up for the finale concert, hung around backstage, stood by stage side so I can wish them luck when they get on the stage, and tell them good job when they come down.

I felt my stomach twist when the amp cable for the guitar came off during Pancake 80's guitar solo. I was like oh my gawd! The judges didn't get to hear that solo! That was one wicked solo man! Damn! The guitarist looked so disappointed he could cry. I felt so bad for him.

The stage.

They all deserved to win. They were all good.

Golden Dragon stood above the rest for a few reasons. The obvious reason is the cosplay theme. They dress up as warriors when they perform. Another reason is that they sing in Mandarin. To me, the most important thing that made them stand out, was during their audition. When ask "Why do you think you are ASEAN's best band?" All the other bands said that this is the hardest question. But not Golden Dragon, the said "Ya, soalan ini ialah soalan yang kami nanti-nantikan" They have a vision, a mission, and they are going towards it fast.

Don't just take my word for it, go watch their audition videos to see how good they are. It'll be worth your time.







I wish the bands all the best, and keep on making good music.

...About Music

Back when I was in secondary school, I immersed myself with music. Conversations with friends are always about our favourite boybands, their albums, their new songs. Allowance was spent on magazine to keep up with the latest news.

Then, somewhere along the way I lost interest. I don't know whether it was because of the money issues as a student, the crazy workload, or the fact that I could never attend any shows/concerts because of the matriarch ruler of the house, but somehow, I lost touch with music.

The only part of music that I've kept in touch with til now is supporting Poetic Ammo religiously.

Recently I got blasted with music. I became a small part of RedAMP, the search for ASEAN's best band, brought to you by AirAsiaRedTix and MTV. I was part of the crew on duty for the screen test of the semi-finals.

The adrenaline rush and joy came flooding back. Plus the talents that day were all so good. It's like I got lost, then I found my place again.

Sandra (Indonesia) and Black Infinity (Vietnam)

Danger Ranger (Indonesia)

It was a damn cool day filled with music. Meeting bands from all over South East Asia. They came from all walks of life, brought together with the love for music.

If you wanna know more about the contest, head on over to www.airasiaredtix.com  and click on RedAMP. You can see the list of the semi-finalists. They're available on youtube, just search them. These bands are crazy talented. They will be reduced to 10 bands on the 23rd, and the public will vote for the top 3 finalist. Do you part in the search for ASEAN's best band!!

I'm looking forward to be part of this event til the end. Bring it!

All the best to the semi-finalist!

...About: Zee Avi, KL Live@Life Centre, 20 March 2010

I haven't been to a performance in a long time. I wouldn't really call this a concert, the set was quite simple and personal. Makes the fans feel closer. It was just her, her instruments, a cello-ist, and a drummer. It was definitely 100% live and acoustic.

I didn't get to watch the whole thing, I missed a few songs. But I do know the first song she sang was 'Poppy' I really like the verse of the song, chorus not so. She performed most of the song from her album. Including some from her Kokokaina days and some new materials (read: I couldn't sing-a-long to).

It was quite a short set. About 50 minutes or so. But she did come back out for an encore and sang 'Monte'. Eventhough she was already half way through the press conference.Sorry all my pics are from weird views, I was moving around a lot.

She likes to make jokes in between her song, while she's introducing the next song and what not.

 I dare say not many people has a shot of her from this view.

sound check yo

All in all...let's do it Citibank style..

Full tank of petrol : RM50
Parking : RM4
Meeting Zee Avi, getting her autograph and snap a picture with her : Priceless.

nyeheheheehehehe

...About Terry Fox Run 2009 Lake Gardens

This is the third year in a row I've attended! Kudos to me!

And that's all the exercise I'll do this year. ;p hahahahah.

Pikcahs!!

This year it's back to black. I personally prefer black shirt. Slimming ain't it?

Let's look at the crowd...

Okay okay, wrong picture to depict the crowd.

Like last year, it was hosted by Yasmin Yusoff, but no Ida Nerina this year.

Here we are getting ready for warm ups.

Pictures of people in awkward poses (they were following the aerobic routine unlike me)

 

 

 

After all the huffing and puffing trying to keep up with the steps shown by people from Celebrity Fitness, we were finally flagged off!!

First few minutes into the run....(it's not a race, it's a run, or in my case, walk)

 

 

Look at the crowd.....

Half an hour later......

 

HAHAHAH dwindling in numberssss

The Point of No Return....

Right after the sign...

 

ehehehe....went for the advance route again this year.

And every year, these are the people I look forward to snap pictures of...

But this year, we have something extra special...

Starbucks Baristas in their apron!! ahaks. chun.

I call this, classic Terry Fox Run Scene...

I saved the best for last...

awwwww

Lots of new people this year, cos when Yasmin asked how many have done this before, not many hands went up.

See y'all next year!!
