Jamiroquai at Sepang
Wow, this post is way overdue.
I went for Jamiroquai’s concert at Sepang last month, which was April.
Had tickets to go see the F1 race but obviously, i’d rather not cause watching the race back home on a TV screen is way better and more comfortable.
Imagine being at the race circuit and the race cars just pass you by so quickly in a flash and that’s it. Bleh -_-
It would be nice to experience the race real life, but i’ll leave that to next time.
It rained on that day and the race was forced to end early. Not only that, it was still drizzling during the concert.
The whole place was muddy and wet. It was disgusting. Getting around was crazy, i had to hop around on wooden boards like a bunny to avoid the muddy puddles and grass.
Thank goodness i wore my ballerina Crocs too. They’re easy to wash cause they’re made from rubber. So i didn’t have to care much about getting mud on my Crocs.
However i was totally bummed when i accidently stepped on a seemingly safe patch of grass, which turned out to sink into one nasty puddle.
Great, i had mud water in my shoes.
But nevermind, they were easy to wash.
There were other performing acts by a couple of artists and one of them was Naturally Seven. I thought they were pretty good, though a little bit drag-ish. There was one point where i thought their performance was over, but no it still went on -_-;;
Eventually the drizzling stopped too. Just in time for Jamiroquai’s turn :)
Jamiroquai was amazing!
He has so much energy in that sweat suit he was wearing.
Honestly i’m not an avid fan of his, but a lot of his songs are really good. I really like the song Deeper Underground, he sang that for his encore.
Deeper Underground is one of the soundtracks for the movie Godzilla. Check out the video, it’s pretty cool.
Elaine’s 19th
So last night we all gathered at a place to give Elaine a surprise birthday party. It’s kinda like a collaboration of the high school friends and the college friends.
I was late but i managed to get in the “surprise room” in time before Elaine arrived at the house. Talk about kan cheong-ness.
The college friends gave her the first round of surprise outside the house which kinda reminded me of the Japanese ambush video i saw on Youtube once. Then, we the high school friends, gave her a second round of surprise in a room.
Random, right. But it all worked out. Poor girl was so surprised that she was all jumpy, hehe.
Happy birthday, Elaine.
Hope you like your presents! :)
Quiksilver & Roxy gift vouchers
It is tested and proven that i cannot stay home for the whole day. Right from the moment i wake up in the morning until the time i go to bed at night. I need to get out even for at least 10 minutes. Cause for some reasons if i don’t, i’ll get a nasty headache :(
So i did a little shopping alone after lunch last week. I hopped from Forever 21 to Roxy, and walked out from both stores holding paper bags.
I really need to get a shopping bag. Those paper bags are such a waste and a shopping bag would be much more convenient.
Anyway, that was the longest time i’ve spent in Roxy. Oh, and i got a Roxy card with a single receipt. Along with that i got a couple of Quiksliver & Roxy RM 50 gift vouchers.
I figured that i won’t be shopping much at Quiksilver or Roxy any time soon, so i’m just gonna give them away to any of my friends or readers.
I have three gift vouchers to give away. Here are some stuff you need to know about the vouchers first.
1. Redeemable with every RM200 purchases of regular priced items.
2. Valid till 30 June 2009.
3. Not valid with any marked down items, discounts and promotions.
4. Not valid with fragrance.
5. Not redeemable for cash.
6. In the event whereby amount purchased is less than amount on the voucher, there will be no refund.
7. Valid only in Quiksilver & Roxy in Malaysia.
Yeap, time is short. And it requires you to spend at least RM 200 to use one voucher.
If anyone is interested, just email me your details along with the answers to these questions:
1. What do you plan to buy from Quiksilver/Roxy?
2. How often do you visit this blog?
3. How did you come to know about this blog? (give direct referrers)
Wow, only three questions. So easy, right!
I’ll send out the gift vouchers via snail mail. Such a classic. If no one wants it then i’m gonna let the vouchers rot in the dustbin.
Oh and i’m serious.
Busy bee
It’s about time that my activites are starting to slow down. My dark circles are getting worst, not to mention this epic zit decided to pay me a visit.. ON MY FACE. Sigh!
I’ve been running about ever since my exams were over. There wasn’t a day when i can spend the whole day bumming at home. What i meant by bumming is just plain ol’ surfing the internet or watching my Desperate Housewives DVD set while pigging out on ice-cream and chips.
Mmmm.. ice cream..
But no! Even when i had the chance to spend the day at home, i’ll be busy working on the domain. Every little single detail of this site.
Apart from working on the site, i had other activities going on too such as..
1. Work
2. Genting with the classmates
3. Work
4. Singapore with the family
5. More work!
Enough to keep me occupied for three full weeks.
Don’t get me wrong, i’m not complaining bout work. In fact i just had two photo shoots back to back last week, phew!
And i did a couple of interesting themes lately. One was like a classic theme for Sisters magazine, three looks for each era. Think 60′s and stuff like those – big hair, vintage dressing, pearls, and thick eyeliner with heavy lashes.
Another was a bridal theme for Feminine magazine which is the latest shoot i did just last week. I acutally got to wear a white gown with flowers in my hair, hehe!
This was taken during the Sisters shoot.
Honestly, that was the worst shoot i’ve done so far. All these while my definition of a bad photo shoot is always got to do with the hairstylist. Hairstylists who can’t perform and deliver well. They handle their model’s hair badly and cannot create the required hairstyle efficiently, and believe me it is very time consuming.
But this shoot took it to a whole new level.
We were dealing with a theme that involved complicated hairstyles, so it was acceptable for the hairstylist to take more time. In fact, he was rather good at what he did.
However, the make up artist was HORRIBLE. They just had to get an amateur make up artist! I could tell because she was from a make up academy and she had her supervisor with her telling her what to do and how to do it. I then realized that i was a test rat for a rookie.
She took the longest time ever to complete one look and her work was shit, sorry to say. The eyeshadow application was bad but she was lucky to have the heavy false lashes to cover up her lousy work.
We took nine fucking hours to complete three looks. NINE HOURS! THREE LOOKS!
I’ve done six looks before in nine hours. I’ve done three looks before in three hours. But that was just absurd!
And she did something SO BAD, i’ll NEVER forgive her for that. I even complained to my agency about it and mamasan said that they’ll boycott any shoot that involves make up artists from that academy.
But i bet none of you could tell judging from the picture, right. Well it’s better off if none of you knew what went on behind the scenes, really.
Sigh!
Anyway, i got all my pictures from iFeel last week but unfortunately they missed out my M.A.C Hello Kitty. I was looking forward to that one though, hmpf.
I’ve added one new picture in the portfolio. It’s dated April 2008, but it’s one of my favourites. It’s even one of the photograper’s wallpaper on his Mac ;)
