Justin Bieber Live in Malaysia 2012!

Last year, ive updated my status asking would anyone get pissed off if i said i hv the meet & greet passes to meet Justin Bieber?

Last year, ive updated my status asking would anyone get pissed off if i hv the chance to meet JB? 

So fast forward 15 months later, I finally had the chance to meet him in person. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan but I'm a believer and never say never for an opportunity so thanks to Digi Youth and Universal mUsic Malaysia..finally..i guess the law of attraction works ya? 

Must admit it was a bit poorly organized, as the winners were asked to registered at 1.30pm when the actual meet & greet (MNG) is only going to be after 330pm. ???? Te MNG winners are not allowed inside the press conference hall. But I was lucky as I was heading towards KLCC, the security lead me to the press conference and nobody stopped me..LOL. So i went in and managed to grab a seat 3rd row from the front!

registration at level 1 of Traders HOtel

the tag was meant for MEet and Greet Only..but hehee..

 Waiting and keep waiting inside this hall...>.< It was nice to meet the nicest crew from Universal Music Malaysia like Michelle and Alycia. (met them before during Singapore trip to meet Far east movement) and i was a little surprised that Ryan Matjeraie from hitz/8tv quickie actually could recognized and say hi to me. Super friendly guy. Met him for the 1st time during the same Far east movement too..haha 

winners seat

was so bored so i started to doodle as my little tabby and hp are not with me..pffftt

interview session after his acoustic performance..naiseee

Justin Bieber and mtv VJ holly

No recording are permitted during his  performance and it is strictly guarded so no choice..I've only brought my compact camera. my hp and samsung tab was surrendered at the registration counter earlier. Screaming fans started crying and 1 girl was lucky enough to be called on stage by Justin himself during 'One less lonely girl' acoustic. He was hugging her and kissed her forehead twice. She was hysterically out of control literally. 


Finally after all that, ive managed to meet the rest of the MNG winners. wasnt shocked to know it was more than 7 of us from telco sponsors. 10 persons in a group photo.The house rules was "No autograph, no hugging, no kissing, no photo and no talking not even a hand shake". So as our turn came, it was a bit messy, I was literally being pushed at the corner..wth?? so after the group photo, the security and guard kinda drag us to move away, since i was at the corner and everyone has left, as I turned, Justin and I looked at each other eye to eye, he just came towards me and hugged..kekeke..mcm drama pulak kan? I must admit..he has the face of a pretty boy but a little too skinny. I think he did try to connect to the winners/fans as close as he can. But the only setback was the security and his bodyguard that are a little too exaggerating. So there..waited more than 3 hours for a 2 seconds meet and greet. 

and that's a wrap!

but at least Ive finally met this youtube sensation + multi-talented celebrity. haha never say never and believe in dreams..that's what i constantly reminding myself to do!

squeezing in with Justin bieber..LOL

Skytrex Rox!

Just to keep the hype going after some cool bamboo rafting the week before, ive decided to finally use up my Skytrex vouchers that has been ‘hiding’ inside my contest winning envelope. So i made a reservation with the Skytrex management and decided to finally give it a try on Saturday, 18/2/12. It was the Extreme Challenge which was also the 'toughest' compare to Little Adventure & Big Thrill. Only come Friday that i realised i still have not find a partner. So as i was facebooking, i just asked randomly to Fatin and YES, she is very much interested! Cool! The beauty about contests is that it made our ‘connection’ to access anything anytime anywhere easily. Hahaha...not quite coz firstly we need to put some effort to own it. Orait back to Skytrex, Fatin actually applied leave that Saturday and invite her friend to tag along, happen to be Ruxyn won the vouchers from the same contest under Castrol Malaysia too. Unfortunately she had exams so she just pass it to Fatin.

weeeee....crawl, walk, slide, glide swing..etc

Then it was Saturday morning, Fatin wakes me up and asking where am I. We supposed to meet at bangsar lrt about 840am. Little did I know she was almost there after meeting up with Ruxyn. I rushed to Bangsar Lrt after shower and poof was there at 845am..lol. Luckily that Fatin was quite familiar with Shah Alam area since she used to study there..so we reached there before 10am only to be disappointed by the rain! The staff at the Skytrex counter told us if the rain doesn’t stop then we might have to reschedule to another day..WHAT???? so as we waited and prayed hard so that the rain will stop, Fatin’s fren, Niza finally arrived.  Surprised to see that the crowd are getting bigger as most came here to visit the Rumah 4 musim. Entrance fee is only RM3.

RM3 only..come let's enter!

There are also bike for rent, jungle trekking and some interesting places to be visited. But maybe next time coz we are all hyped up to try this. Especially ive always wanted to try this but always has to be turned down due to non kakis and tangans plus not the right timing. Having said that, suddenly we were asked to wait at the bus stop where their colourful shuttle ride was parked. It was still raining but so long there’s no lightning or thunder then we are good to go.

water bottle casing for rent

After 10 minutes of waiting and our shuttle are fully loaded with Skytrex enthusiasts ahaks, finally the driver took us on a joyride passing by lushful green through a winding road uphill and downhill. Upon arrival we were asked to register and sign the letter of indemnity..there was where I saw how high the platform where we are about to venture in..gulp!  Suddenly i’m not only feeling excited but nervous as well, seems like butterflies in my stomach started to kick in. We bought gloves at Rm3 as protection for our hands. And rent the water bottle casing to avoid being dehydrated and locker to keep our backpack. Since we do not want to miss our mischievous act like a monkey, we bought along our compact camera and place it together inside the water bottle casing.

GREEN!

First and foremost, we were asked to head up to the main point where the marshals will help us out to put on the harness, later we were brief on all the safety precautions and method how to handle the pully and #forgot what it was called# while we are up there 22m high above ground.

come and get your harness

orait guyz, if u r afraid of height, this is the best time to admit and get out of here!..neah just kidding

After all that talking, let’s put it into practise. We first climbed a ladder that was like 10 steps up, and did our first flying fox. Testing done, later we were left pretty much on our own. Niza went first, she climbed like almost 2  stories high and then did her first flying fox while screaming her lungs out. Suddenly one of the platform crack after one white guy stepped accidently on it. Then we were told to hold on as the team pull a plywood from bottom to up and fixed it immediately.

wah...so high up to climb the stairs

now i feel like im in a quest to find some treasure at the end of this --indiana jones i was!

As i climbed the stairs, it wasn’t all that scary till i reached the top and was standing at the platform,,,yikes...it was slightly windy and i looked down...thanks to my ridiculous curiosity..hahahha...feeling a little fear, but no turning back yo...so i rest my self into a sitting position and off i slide like a flying fox ...weeeeeeeeeee....now that wasn’t bad..hehehe... after reaching to the end, i need to crossed over on a spider web up, and slowly we venture into other extreme challenges that was equally mind blowing and testing our mental, physical and spiritual. I almost give up at one of the challenges coz i was just too drained out. But as we gave some moral support towards each other, it was all good.  We did the monkey bar, walked through broken pieces of wood steps, even walked on a single cable cord!  But the most challenging for me was the pipe task as it was slippery and wobble like a bubble. 

hanging tough! hehee

like a spiderweb

But all in all, i really had fun doing it and don’t mind to come again next time. This was fun! I feel like a jungle woman again...kekekeke...it was certainly breathtaking to able to do all these in the beautiful jungle with lots of greens up in the fresh air.

look down

this surprisingly was the easist for me, provided i keep my balance right..hehe

i was drained out ..but the ride must go on!

This was the toughest for me..the pipe are slippery and wobbly.

Orait, even thought Skytrex seems like a cool adventure stuff, but always ..always remember that SAFETY comes first.  Buckle your harness correctly based on diagram on each challenges,  never take for granted or you may fall and crack a bone or two or perhaps committing a suicide death. Muahhahaa....did i just scare you off? anyway just go, try it and have fun,,orait? I promise you it will be fun! oh ya thanks to CASTROL MALAYSIA for the vouchers!

see no evil. hear no evil and speak no evil..yeah right...it was wicked ride altogether!

 Finally we pumped our adrenalin for some 34 extreme challenges! some are 22m high so to speak. the trail r simply rocking like a mum cradling the baby chair..furiously..LOL. thanks Fatin and Niza for a great workout on saturday morning. thank god the rain stopped or else we might hv to rescheduled for another day..since that doesnt happen...it was certainly a day filled with enjoyment, thrilling, anticipating and some weak knee shaking..muhahaha

Extreme Challenge-Sunway Lagoon

I came unprepared..honestly..with 4 hours of sleep, I was purging and my menstrual decided to visit..topping the list was butterfly and probably dunno what else was flying in my stomach..hrrrmmm…the least I could hope was to come back with the consolation prize—Nestle hamper worth RM200. 

Last Friday, I was one of the 20 shortlisted participants chosen from the photo contest at Sunway Lagoon facebook page that came to take up the challenge for their Extreme competition.

The enthusiastic 19 contestants

But..not as determine I would expect it to be…that morning I could see almost 19 participants were pretty hyped up to take up the extreme challenge happening at Sunway Lagoon Malaysia except for myself...:P . Registration starts at 10am by the friendly Sunway's staff, Ms Ivy.

the smile was probably a cover up of the nervous-ness inside..hehehe

 The briefing started with an enthusiastic ‘Chief Tribe’ explaining to us the instruction of the challenge. We were teamed up randomly and I was in team C with Ahmad Faizul. Each team were given an envelope which contain all the tasks that we need to do. We were given close to 1 hour 20 minutes to finish all the 8 challenges. Each completed task will be given 1 bonus point. No point will be given if you didn’t manage to score the right answer/finish the task correctly. Most importantly no cutting queue..yes we need to queue with the public if need be.. Time and strategy are pretty crucial as those who check in after 12pm, their points will be deducted accordingly. 

The Chief Tribe was giving some instruction on the Extreme Challenge

As the Chief Tribe starts clocking, all of us rushed to the table to collect our designated envelope. We wasn’t shocked to see all the tasks as we kinda expected it already.. So with no particular order, there were 8 pieces key words with simple diagram on it that includes – JUMPER , BULL EYES, GO FOR A RIDE, WHEEL ADVENTURE, SWINGING TARZAN, SPLASH THE MARKER, ROW ROW YOUR BOAT & the last one I can quite remember but it was something to do with surfing..

Off we went to do the easiest and less crowd which was the wheel adventure, we guessed it right the ATV ride. We found a marshall with green army-liked attire, complete with military green marker painted on his face. We showed the small piece clue to him, he instructed us to calculate how many red flag along the trail. Sound easy right? Yup..but not quite..after wearing our safety gear, off we go, then suddenly Faizul having problem with his ATV bike that he was left behind and I started to forgot about the counting…LOL..but thank god he managed to count the flag half of the trail, after crossing the road, another team was asking the marshall about the flag colours that it strike me the reason I took the wheel adventure in the first place..kekeke…so I managed to calculate another half of the trail. Came back to the meeting point, I asked Faizul how many flags he managed to count and I combined with the one ive managed to count. Told the Marshall and he was staring as if my answers were wrong…but luckily we got it right, so he pasted 1 sticker on that clue piece. Off we ran towards the 2^nd task, BULL EYES—the archery. Unfortunately we didn’t managed to get any point as we didn’t hit the BULLEYES..off we went to the 3^rd , GO FOR A RIDE..(the GO KART) but there were already different team lining up there and to wait for another 5 minutes will delay us. 

So we skipped that and we proceed to SPLASH the MARKER which was the Paintball..not as easy as it seems as we need to shoot a ping pong ball that was hanging on a mock tree,it was about 30 metres away. Both persons in a team MUST shoot the ping pong in order to score for a point. No point given if only 1 person in a team managed to do it..peer pressure man! Thank god, both us managed to shoot it! Woots..i think I’m pretty lucky as only 10 bullets per person, Faizul managed to do it after 3^rd or 4^th attempt, mine was almost the 8^th or 9^th attempt..hehehe..ok next we decided to go for ROW ROW YOUR BOAT—yes it was kayaking. We need to pedal our kayak for a shape of the number ‘ 8’ around 2 bunkers in the middle of the lake. I think we did it like a pro..hahaha..teamwork and proper communication during the kayaking. Pedal to the right when we want to sway to the left. So we score a point for that. Next we move on to the SWINGING TARZAN—yes you guess it right -the flying fox…it was already a killer to climb those stairs up, the worst part upon reaching to the top was the staff that handling on the harness,rope and buckle for the flying fox was having an heated argument among themselves (a black and 2 bangla). That not only freak me out coz as they were buckling those ropes and harness on me, they were busy arguing..and that pissed me off. I actually raised my voice and said “can you guyz just cut this out, im not going for this ride with a condition like this”..but then they apologized and fixed it properly. The marshall gave me a water balloon tol hold on my right hand. Geez…I need to throw the waterballoon on the yellow bunker that was located in the middle of the pool as I sway myself on that “ride”. This is funny, I was quite prepare to throw the waterballoon until imbalance took place that I lost my position and went slide backwards… I was trying to look down where on earth was that yellow bunker..i don’t care and I just dropped the waterballoon. Reaching the end, as I went down from and walking towards another marshall, she give me a sticker. So I guessed it hit the yellow bunker earlier. 

At this point of time, we are left with 3 tasks to be completed. Time are running fast. Faizul keep asking do you wanna do the bungy jump..i said yea…as I always wanted to do it. But my head starts to spin with the scorching hot sun and lack of sleep and water! The bungy jump needs only 1 person from the team to do it for a point. So we decided to proceed with the GO KART first..at least we just need to do 10 laps within 5 minutes and I’ll be sitting on a ride..apparently we were the last team to complete the GO KART. The rest of the team has completed it. Hrrm…ive started to doubt about winning top 3 now..yeah hamper will do good. Hahah…

Finally the jump that I was waiting for…ahem ahem…as I climbed the same stairs as the flying fox earlier…darn…I was wondering to myself…what on earth am I doing it..laziness started to pinch in..but my alter-ego, lil devil was invading and said..wth..just go up there and do it!

To be honest, ive always wanted to try the bungy jump but never expect it will be in this condition. As my head already spinning and exhaustion kicked in, the dizziness seems to add the pinch of salt on an open wound. But giving up especially now is definitely not an option. So as I brave myself to dish all the negativity and think of the dream ive always wanted to try..so as I reached the suspension bridge, I handover the 2^nd last task piece to the marshall and prepare for the jump. The staff are bunch of friendly and great people. They make you feel at ease and relax. As they explained the safety precautions and instruction before the jump, another staff were busy wrapping my two legs with towel followed by hooking it right to the harness and all on my waist. Faizul and Ayu were giving me some motivation chat. I put aside my fear and tiredness, move very slowly forward till both of my feet are half out from the board where im standing. I look up, both hands up to the side and getting ready for the jump. Counting down 3,2,1 and I just let myself free as I could hear Faizul’s voice cheering from afar..i then leaned forward and jump off from the board high above..I could only feel my body was light as a feather and suddenly it was going down that makes me to look down, it was surreal coz I was probably in a shock that I could not scream..it was a silent jump straight down not until when I could feel the trigger pushed me up that it strike me. And I screamed my lungs out loud after that…Wohoooooooooo……the scream of relief and exhilaration probably continue for like almost 20 seconds..hahah..Adrenalin rush in, my blood stream was moving like a bullet train straight to my brain through the veins.. It was indeed an awesome ‘ride’. Fuh..massive headache after that, but we still have another task to finish, which was the surfing. Huh? Faizul came down from the stairs with the sticker attached on the JUMPER clue piece. 

Finally we ran toward the surfing point, there was already 1 team getting ready for their turn, so we queue up and waited. Suddenly I feel really dizzy and nausea. I went to the side and find the bushes before throwing up. Bleurrrkkkkk….hehehe…at least I felt slighter better thereafter. The other team couldn’t manage to get any points as the task wasn’t easy. We decided to skip and proceed to clock in our time. Upon reaching the meeting point, Dyat and his teammember were already there. We were the 2^nd to arrive. Passed to the chief all our clues with stickers attached on it except for the BULLEYES and SURFING. Bonus point for clocking in before 12pm. Other teams arrived gradually until it was almost 1220pm that all 20 teams were in.

While waiting I took some the time to took some pictures of the prizes in stake with my spinning head..LOL

2 x Ipad2, 2x samsung tab and 2 x Lomo camera

Hamper worth Rm200 for the consolation winners

20 goodie bags of Nestle merchandize..thumbdrive 4G, plush pillow,waterbottle etc

my weight was written on my hand, before the jump earlier

After deliberation by the Sunway Lagoon and Nestle Drumstick team, finally the Chief came forward to make the announcement. Since everyone agreed to announce the TOP 3 first, he started by calling the 3^rd placing team followed by 2^nd and finally the champion. Faizul and I kinda didn’t expect much to be in top 3 and I was hoping for the hamper only. With massive headache kicks in, all I could think off was to get rid of the pain in my head. 3^rd placing won by Ayu and her teammate, then came 2^nd which was quite a competitive pair, and before the 1^st place was announced, Faizul actually turn to me and said “ I think we had a good chance to be the champion” I was smirking and said neah probably Dyat ‘s team will be the first not knowing how many points they have scored.

Ayu and her teammate won a lomo camera set for each person

the competitive pair that won themselves a samsung tab each

 Not until when the Chief screamed “And the 1^st place, the champion of this extreme challenge goes to TEAM C!!!!!!” that it strike me..OMG…its us..i screamed and jumped off from my seat..HIGH 5 to Faizul and the rest of the participants…ahaks!..and there…the gorgeous white IPAD2 wifi 3G worth RM2,199 belong to me!!! Wohoooooo…even tho it was my 2^nd IPAD2, but this is a keeper after all the “crazy stunts” ive did..So yeah I was extremely over the moon with the winning. Didn’t expect to be the champion of this extreme challenge..i guessed I was lucky to be teamed up with Faizul, we never stressed each other but teamwork ,communication and support was the key point on our winning. 

woahhhhh...champion!!!

The prize ceremony was short and simple presented by the General Manager of Sunway Lagoon, Mr Mag and Marketing Manager of Nestle, Ms Carol. Thank you guyz and to both Sunway Lagoon and Nestle for organizing the Extreme Challenge.

muaks! hehehe just nice as another Christmas gift for me!!

 Apart from winning, the extreme challenge had teach us about teamwork, determination and having fun while we are in it. So yeah I had fun and make new competitive friends..haha. Strange thing is that I’m still having headache after the jump…im like a swinging junglewoman…hahaha..

Happy faces!!!

So what are you waiting for, if you want to have fun like we did, come and add Sunway Lagoon now! A little sad that no footage /photo of me doing the bungy jump but what the heck, I’ve truly enjoyed it. And yes I received my certificate for that..hehehe

i received my certificate of insanity...

 p/s: Thanks Ayu for fetching me to and from the Asia jaya LRT to Sunway Pyramid.

Richard Marx-Live in Genting Highland, Malaysia

11 Dec 2011- A day that probably I'll be Right here waiting for the one and only singer-songwriter music legend, Richard Marx as his songs will be remembered for Now and forever!

It was indeed a memorable night for me to be there at Genting Highland, above the clouds literally. Finally I was able to watch the legendary Richard Marx serenading few of his best singles hits live in conjunction with his World Tour 2011. I used to listen to his music on radio or even watching his video clip on MTV..u know those were the years with his famous big hairdo (probably Disney The Lion King gotta do with it), but having said that, listening live and being like few metres away from the stage was even way better coz it was almost dreamy! 

Among some of the numbers sang and played just with his acoustic guitars and piano were Endless Summer Night, Keep Coming back, Hazard, Now and Forever, Don’t Mean Nothing, When You Loved me (latest single) and of course the finale before he ends his acoustic evening-Right Here Waiting. The almost 3000 crowd was cheering and this man really rock the night smooth and so fine! It bring down memory lane almost to the spine..hehe

Thanks to NTV7 for those tickets and im glad I was fortunate to witness one of my idol since I was 14 that very night!

got my tickets..let's enjoy the show

waiting and waiting...just like the title of his big hit song

Finally, 20 minutes later after local indie artiste, Liyana finished her opening act, finally the man that we have been waiting for humbly dazed in the stage. The rest of it, like they say- a history to be remembered. This multi-talented icon simply keeps us amazed with his soulful voice almost like a ghost whisperer that hypnotized us into supernatural encounter. Wohhhh… 

He can write good music, sing beautifully and play the guitar so well..woaaaaaaa

local indie artist Liyana Fizi was lucky to be performing with Richard!

I think he is kinda cool dad too judging by how his passion for music has basically been absorbed silently by his 3 teenaged boys. Synonym with his latest album titled Stories to Tell, he indeed  has a lot of interesting stories that he shared with us that night. Like how he finally agreed that “Women Are Always Right!” statement as he refers that to his wife, Cynthia. And how he was really into this mysterious dark series that he actually wrote and composed the big hit HAZARD. And how he told us about his best friend, the late Luther Vandross where they both created one of the most beautiful song “dance with my father” that earned them the 2004 Grammy Award! He even jokingly said perhaps the ghost of Luther are with us that night watching us..

Performing with his sons virtually on If only you can SAVE ME

He also made his way down stage to mingle with the fans..darn u VIP seaters!

Another funny story was when he was writing This I Promise You for Nsync. The screaming girls towards this POP boy band was absurd, he knows pretty well where he stand. not until came a screaming young girl towards him while he was walking out from the secret location while collaborating with NSync at that time. He was just about to - oh well kinda rise on cloud 9 when that girl asking “R u Richard marx?” , before he could be flying up, “oMg…my mum really loves you!” so there, he knew that he cant compete with the boy band vibe but tell all you want, I on the other hand feel that he still has his charm, wit and yes looking far more better than he was during the 80’s or 90s. Honestly, he looked dashing for a 48! That man can really sing and play the guitar/piano so well! It was as if he breathes through the notes and rhythm of music. I'm still clueless on how he could actually wrote those deep meaningful lyrics and he still does. Inspiring! 

he look better at 48! not missing the big hair do

The last song - Right here Waiting - *.*

Thank you NTV7 for giving me the chance to reminisce and walk through memory lane. I truly enjoyed it!
