I now know why Orianthi is called a guitar goddess. She is really good on the guitar! I must say that I don’t really know her songs except “According to You”. I must also say that her vocals are not really suitable for live singing. Still, her guitar skills more than makes up for her voice. Anyway, I managed to catch her as she left … Continue reading Orianthi at Twin Towers @live 2012
I went over to the Twin Towers @live 2012 concert at KLCC earlier and man, there were so many people there! I would guess that there is at least 20,000 people minimum squeezed into that tiny space to see Girls’ Generation/SNSD live for the first time in Malaysia! I make that last remark because after Girls’ Generation was done with their 6 song set, almost … Continue reading Girls’ Generation/SNSD performance at Twin Towers @live 2012
Given that F1 Rocks KL has been cancelled, the organizers in Malaysia are scrambling around no doubt. Imagine their credibility or lack thereof to boast such a huge event only to announce that it’ll be cancelled like 3 days before the event. I must say that I was so disappointed and sad when I heard that F1 Rocks KL was cancelled. I had already booked … Continue reading Twin Towers @Live 2012

Hashtag: #a1AsiaTour2 [4 May 2012 | Update] Although … Continue reading a1 Asia Tour 2012
Jessie J has arrived in Singapore y’all! It was such a whirlwind arrival. She was very low key as well, to the point that most people didn’t even know it was her when she walked out of the baggage claim area. Fortunately, I managed to get my album signed by her after being blocked by people or luggages while trying to get to within Jessie … Continue reading Jessie J arrival in Singapore 2012
I know I don’t usually post about concert around the region but this is different, since I can’t get tickets to the Born This Way Ball in Singapore, I’m going to head over to Bangkok to catch the Born This Way Ball… assuming that I can get tickets for the show there that is. It was just announced that Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Ball … Continue reading Born This Way Ball Bangkok 2012
Beijing Road, Guangdong (北京路, 广东) — The main shopping district in Guangdong. It is also a pedestrian mall. I actually quite like shopping for local brands in China. It’s mostly because it’s cheap and their quality is pretty good if not decent. What is cool about Beijing Road is that there’s one part of the street where they preserved the ancient roads all the way … Continue reading Travelling through Guangzhou, Hezhou, Guilin and Yangshuo (Part 4)
Impression: Liu San Jie (印象:刘三姐)— This show is definitely the highlight of the whole journey. It’s by far the most spectacular show/performance that I’ve ever seen in my life.Comprising of about 600 actors on a stage that is a river and a backdrop of 12 mountains, the audience of 3,700 let out a collective “WAH!” when the lights first came on in the opening scene … Continue reading Travelling through Guangzhou, Hezhou, Guilin and Yangshuo (Part 3)
100 year old Zhuang Village — This is pretty interesting. We went to the village of the Zhuang minority ethnic group and got to see their housing and lifestyle. It’s kinda like a house visit (though you know that it’s mostly staged). As we left the village, we got stuck in a traffic jam along the mountain road as there was an accident. A truck … Continue reading Travelling through Guangzhou, Hezhou, Guilin and Yangshuo (Part 2)
So I went to China last week for a holiday with CTC Tours. They usually are pretty good with their China tours but this time around, we were unlucky enough to get a shitty tour guide and a noob tour leader. Overall, the trip was just alright. It didn’t feel like it was super fun or that the trip was really that worth it. Also, … Continue reading Travelling through Guangzhou, Hezhou, Guilin and Yangshuo (Part 1)
