This 2 days event was really tiring..from day to night..
Despite sun tanned skin, sore-throat and lack of sleep, it was a great experience working with different people from different places. What more..working on such a HUGE and PRESTIGIOUS K-pop event.

Well, you are right, we get to see the artistes so close up..from their rooms to their cars to rehearsal to their stage! So close yet so far..Imagine seeing your idol walking right in-front of you but you gotta stay cool and be professional? Hahaha..not an easy job man... If I wasn't with my tags and walkies, I would have screamed and shouted G-DRAGON!!! and give him a great Big hug!! LOL..

HOKKAIDO, Japan

HOKKAIDO, Japan

Here I am...Hokkaido, Japan, a dreamed destination by many.

Have been hearing too many compliments about Hokkaido. No doubt that it's a beautiful place to visit.

Went there during the winter. The view from the plane whilst landing was a content!

The land was fully covered with snow....can't wait to touch down. I believe it's an excitement to see snow for those whom are born in a tropical country like me =)

View from our hotel....breathtaking! Imagine you are living in this serenity.. and this is what you see every morning? I think this is why the statistics shows Japanese's longevity is higher?

 Visited the Kirin, Chitose Beer Factory..then to Tomakoma blessed with rich natural surroundings including Lake Utonai, which was Japan's first bird sanctuary, swans, ans many other migratory birds. Also drop by the town of octopus/squid for hot&fresh glutinous rice squid and ice-cream! This is where i met Doraemon! Haha...

Proceed to Noboribetsu, is one of many well-known resorts in Japan and the largest "Hot Spring town" in Hokkaido. Jigoku Tani "Hell Valley" is a spectacular, appropriately named valley just above the town of Noboribetsu Onsen, which displays hot steam vents, sulfur streams and other volcanic activities. The hot springs in the resort was perfect! If you have not tried, then you should! It's a rule/culture where you have to be fully naked (for hygiene purpose I suppose). We tried both indoor and outdoor onsen. It was fun to brace the cold to walk out and soak yourself into the outdoor onsen LOL. It was a wonderful experience as you are surrounded by the white snow... it's difficult to find a word to describe that experience. 

We continued our journey to Hakodate, a city and port located in Oshima Sub prefecture. It is also the capital city of Oshima Sub Prefecture. Seafood market is a must go place! Loads to buy and eat!! Absolutely FRESH! In the evening, we took the cable car to Mount Hakodate for a panoramic night view of  Hakodate city. Next day continued to Mt.Usuzan, visited the Bear ranch, whisky outlet.

Hokkaido is also famous for their seafood! Salmon & Crabs (long legs + hairy). This is a must eat food in Hokkaido! Really delicious!!! We had a pleasant stroll at the Otaru Romantic Town Otaru Canal where many artist present their works to the passing tourists and it is very romantic in the evening when the gas lamps are lit. Here you get to taste the famous Melon ice-cream and the White couple chocolate. Visited next is the Kitaichi Glass complex and Otaru Music Box Museum. The artworks are beautiful and of course beauty comes with a cost lol...

Overngiht at Sapporo. Next morning, we visited the Odori Park with mafnificient view of Sapporo Tower, best known as NHK Tower. By-pass Tokeidai Clock Tower, a Russian style monument built in 1878. Also visited Hokkaido government building. Not to miss out shopping at Sapporo Underground Shopping Mall and their Sapporo beer! Nice! Also, for the party goers, a must place to visit is the Susukino Street, Hokkaido largest entertainment district, also know as the Red Light District. Here you can see many pretty chicks and guys too!! LOL

 Here we get to experience the snow-mobile with spectacular view from the top of the mountain...it takes up a lot of energy to ride that snow-mobile all the way to the top...but the view was worth it!!! But the cost for this activity is a bit costly. It cost us 20,000Yen per-mobile.

We had whole day skiing in Kitahoroshima leaving loads of memory before heading home the next day...
This is how we ended our wonderful 8 days in Hokkaido and never a minute was wasted...it was a great holiday! Hokkaido...we'll be back!!!

Jacky Cheung concert

Jacky Cheung ½ Century Tour – Malaysia

9th Dec 2011

Jacky Cheung wowed crowds at the Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil (4 continous nights), with his heavenly voice. Not only did he set the record for having the most number of concerts in Malaysia, he was also the first Mandopop singer to stage four consecutive nights of performances to sold-out crowds!!! + additional seats too! We were screaming and shouting like nobody's business. A lot of memories came flashing back. His songs have been with us since we started listening canto music..

The lightings on that night was superb too..the entire concert was marvellous. Love Jacky!

    

The Viral Factor-Shooting as extras

Casting and Shooting – The Viral Factor

I was really excited as I got a chance to cast in the Viral Factor (An action movie directed by Dante Lam) where they did most of their shooting in Malaysia. The most important thing is….I will get a chance to meet my idol, Jay Chou!!! Hahahaha.. I was waiting for this as Jay made a huge remark in his previous concert here that he will be returning to Malaysia very soon..and yes he did!! They came in around May-Aug 2011.

So I went for the casting and photo shooting and was called later for shooting a week later..although I’m just a carefree/extras (keh leh feh) but I still feel proud, excited and nervous! Haha! We went to 2 different locations on the first day of shooting, we saw Nicholas Tse, Dante Lam (movie director), Chin Ka Lok (action director) and Lin Peng. I got a few role (as extras/carefree only ok…lol)
1) passerby near the market crossing the road while Nicholas drove a white car on the road;
2) a guardian waiting for their child outside the school entrance – in jeans, white shirt and blue cardigan;
3) a corporate lady walking in and out of the building or near the reception counter – in white blouse, black blazer and skirt (I was walking with a guy where he takes 1 step but I need to take 2 quick steps because he’s 190cm tall! LOL…Then I was being changed to another spot where I have to walk at the front and back of Nicholas Tse; Lin Peng. Imagine..I’m just 2 steps behind or ahead them for this scene! Hehe..) I'll try to spot myself when the movie is out!!! LOL

My second shooting a week later was in Hilton Hotel as carefree going down the escalator after their conference scene. I was in long green dress with heels..Very elegantly dressed and make up & hairdo done by their makeup artiste. Thank you! but I’m not sure if I can be spotted..because they said I’m too obviously striking that day..so I need to turn to the opposite direction from the main cast..LOL Again was a bit disappointed because I still didn’t manage to see Jay Chou..but Eason Chan and Carl Ng were there..The final shooting where I thought I will get to see Jay…but last minute changes..so I still did not manage to see him.. Well, at least I got the chance to be involved in this big production movie and being so close up with the artistes mentioned. No regrets though =)

I tried my best but too bad no pictures were taken due to the restrictions and sign of agreement. The movie will be out in January 2012! Check it out!!

My Birthday 2011

Celebrated my birthday at ALIVE Sunway..30th Sep..till 3am

Have a feast at home with family on 1st Oct

2nd Oct went to Genting Highlands with my parents and lil sister.

September 2011

It was the Prom night 2011 of the University by the Student Council having me as the advisorfor that event. Although it wasn’t a very successful one but at least everyone did put some great effort into it. Well done! (10-Sep-2011)

I think this was my first time attending a Malay wedding in a hall instead of those open house styles. It was pretty grand and everything looks beautiful. Congratulations to my colleague, Siti. (17-Sep-2011)

We had a surprise birthday party for our colleague, Amy. We got ready with all the cakes with loads of cream, masquerade masks, balloons, food etc. We then went to her flat to surprise her. She was pretty much shocked and was splat with the cream cake that we’d prepared. LOL..then the last thing we know...the flat was a mess! LOL we then need to clean up the mess. It was pretty fun though.

We are required to take some photos for the Deepavali greeting from our department so we are all dressed up in Indian costumes. Everyone looks gorgeous! Malaysian culture can be so beautiful with all races as 1 J

July-Aug 2011

  

 The Mist – July 2011

The first time my good good girls colleagues joined us at the club – The Mist.

It was fun having Amy, the so called look-a-like principle walk around the club with her principle style LOL.. very cute! Had a few shots and everyone gone crazy! Fun!

  Chee’s birthday 12-Aug 2011

It’s like fantasy..cartoon/80s birthday theme @ Passion Road. It was my cousin’s birthday. The place looks good, food is like so so, the cakes are really cute..and yeah..expensive! from Hilton (what do u think?). As for me, I would not spend that much of money on such cakes..and with that money spend to book the venue..I can do so much other better things! Well, but anyhow, is people’s birthday though and willing to spend.

Melbourne & Sydney

After a hectic months of work, it's time for a break.
Went to the Aussieland for a holiday with my mum, dad and sis.
It was a free and easy trip. Our first stop was Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria via MAS.
It is always good to fly via standard airline than those low-cost airline (well, sometimes :P). I don't understand why other airlines are making profit but MAS was said to make a loss? Their flights are not cheap but the seats are pretty much occupied though. The in-flight meals are good too.

It was end of autumn; turning to winter. It was pretty cold when we arrived. The weather was about 9-15 degree celcius in Melbourne.

 The maple leaves..covering the whole garden. Lovely view..breezy weather..

 It was great to meet up with a long lost friend , Victor, from where I've once studied, University of Southern Queensland. Although it was a short meet up but I was brought to a pretty special local coffee shop
 to have a sip of hot chocolate in the cold. Wondering around the Melbourne city within 2 hours. lol

 A day trip to the kangaroo farm and the Phillip Island Penguins and wildlife park in Melboune. You get to feed the kangaroos. Watch the little blue penguins swimming their way home and tapping their way back to their nests. Very cute!

Manly and Northern beaches. Very clean...people surfing

Bid farewell to Melbourne and we departed to Sydney via Virgin arilines. Not much difference with our Air Asia (AA) but at least they provide snacks and drinks. Not like AA where you have to pay for it. Meet up with Chee, our cousin who was there too!

Thanks to Chee who brought us to the Fish market in Darlington Harbour for the fresh seafood! We had fresh oysters, abalone, lobsters, squids, crab and more...all FRESH!!! YUMMY!

There was light festival in Sydney during our visit. Colourful ion lights light up each corner of the city and the effects of arts on the buildings. Pretty nice!


In Sdyney Harbour, we stroll along the shopping area..nice to see but it seems like things there are just far too expensive even you don't convert. If you ask me, I rather / still prefer shopping in Newcastle/London. Aww..i still miss the UK but it was a wonderful trip with family...

UNIFEST 2011

This was the 2nd time I’m helping out in a music event after Love Life Love Music in the UK. This time was the UNIFEST, a music festival which celebrates the University status for students each year. As our company is celebrating its 25th Silver Jubilee this year, we planned for a bigger UNIFEST this year round on 21st May 2011. The theme is – ‘The Rise of Rhythm’.

This time round I have more responsibility as the advisor of the event. I am very fortunate to have a group of dedicated students in organising this event and make it happen! Although sometimes the students are quite hard to deal with..their attitude! LOL….well, that’s a learning process for me though..in dealing with the hard to deal with people :P

It was a tough journey before the event. A lot of restrictions and hiccup here and there. Pending of decisions and permission especially on the sponsorships and licensing. Promotions and publicity was a tough job due to the pending of green light. Looking for artist was also a challenge as we’re targeting a 4 thousand people but the budget is limited. Fortunately, we get to call in a few pretty famous artists for this event.

We were all very worried that we will not have crowd because it was raining heavily an hour before the event. Luckily the rain gets lighter and we're seeing the crowd coming in with their raincoats on. we thought everything should be alright..but just then..Suddenly, we heard people shouting..'call ambulance!! get ambulance now!!' I was shocked!! I ran to where the voice and shouting came from..and see what has gone wrong. A student of mine, who was the student organising chairperson was lying on the floor (the grass). She fell from the stage which was 10 feet high because she did not take caution on the steps. They called the St John Ambulance which we hired for the night (well, they are suppose to be here 30minutes ago but still on their way). So I called the emergency 999 for Ambulance. At the end, the emergency Ambulance came before the St John Ambulance (which came after we send the patient off to the hospital). Luckily she was not seriously injured.

The lined up artistes are Mizz Nina, One Buck Shot, Ruffneckz, Kyoto Protocol, Reza Salleh, Shawn Lee, Alexis Gan, Bus Co., An Honest Mistake, Nicky C (DJ), and the emcees for the night were Megan & Naqib from the 8TV’s Quickee.

Although it rains before the event started, there were almost 1 thousand people flocked in the event field with their raincoats on. The first show by Mizz Nina attracts more audiences and the quantity almost reaches 3 thousand. Follow by other performances…they were all great! Especially when it comes to the part where Shawn Lee got the crowd crazy with his beatboxing skills! Very talented young boy! Well done Shawn! The show went on..and ends with the dance floor music by Nicky C which was a bit too techno..but I think the crowd still enjoy the whole event…*phew~

All tickets were given out (about 4 thousand in total) and the lucky winner got his free I-phone for the lucky draw and a few got the hampers and other gifts from our sponsors! Congrats and thanks to our sponsors! Maxis being our main sponsor, Lipton, Fudgeez, Sony Music, Ayam Brand, Laurent Bleu and Dutch lady.

It was a successful event as we have received massive compliments from the people who came.
Thank you everyone for making this event a success especially the committees! It’s a pleasure working with you guys!

THANK YOU!

Random acts in Newcastle

Looking back at the good old days while we're studying in Newcastle, UK the city of life!! haha..
The Lipman Building's cafeteria is where we usually hang out. Love our classroom..love seeing the snow while having a light munch in the cafeteria before or after class..
The design and the equipments/furniture at our School of Social Sciences just too comfortable to hang out..not to mention studying :P Love my Uni!! They have loads of fun and crazy events in the University of Nortumbria.

In Newcastle..you go to University to study, make new friends and you can stay at home to be a nerd...else go on the streets to be a part of the street fighters! LOL.. love their culture.. they are free to be what they want..In our own country, people might think that we're crazy wearing like that on the streets..lol..Go to the Nortumberland street for shopping or catch some street performances like clowns, musicians, dancers etc..so much fun! you will never get bored walking on the street alone.

After school and some walk in the city, get home and cook yourself delicious food. The Morrison, Tesco, China Town, Marks&Spencer, Fenwick or Grainger market have it all! You can get all the ingredients and food easily at any stores. The places are not far from each other and everything is within a walking distance. Well, some might need 30 minutes walk to get there but who cares..the weather is just too good (compared to our own weather in Malaysia) but of course it will be a bit hard during winter LOL.
I don't really cook from where I belong but I learned to cook.. pretty well in Newcastle..lol.

Here are some of food that I've cooked which taste delicious! Especially the bak kut teh..haha. Yes...I mean it! Tested and proven by my flatmates [Left to right: Daniel & Nicole (from Taiwan), me and Luc (from France)] :P Maybe I should do more cooking back home..


At night, you take a walk at the Quay side..enjoy the night view by the river. Overlooking the Tyne bridge and Millennium bridge. It was marvellous with the cooling air..
Love Newcastle and those were the memories to be kept forever..
