OneRepublic's Native Tour 31.10.13


My buddy and I went to OneRepublic's Native tour which was held in Sunway Lagoon, KL. This will be my first Concert in a mosh-pit as I'm a little claustrophobic and 'not-too-young' no more..it was a good experience I would say; least I can finally tick "being in a mosh pit" off my bucket list! 

We flew to Subang in the afternoon and hung about in Sunway Pyramid mall till the concert (starts at 8.30pm). Happily checked out the venue, etc. Plus point was that we accidentally saw Drew and I reckon, Brent walking back to their hotel. What did we do? We followed them. Oh man! I haven't done these kind of things since my teens! hahaha..but we didn't run nor scream after them. We slowly walked behind them.. lol! we sat at the hotel lobby and their bodyguard shoo-ed us off. We didn't cause any ruckus, of course..I understand they need their privacy, but it was kind of fun and stupid at the same time :D Only managed to get a REALLY shaky shot of Drew and I think it was Brent on the right..but I can't recall no more :p


The Concert itself..was AWESOME! Ryan..dang, that dude can sing live!! I had my doubts cause sometimes he seems to go over the top when I watch on telly/youtube. He is incredibly talented..and creative..heck the whole band is. His interaction with the crowd is commendable. It was a small venue and the crowd wasn't so big. We were in the 3rd row @ the General Admission area.I'm so surprised that we were surrounded by..teens!! They were probably just going to primary school when they started out. The downside was that..they were constantly recording the whole concert, without truly appreciating the concert..doesn't help when you're short and a tall lanky kid stands in front of you with an iPad recording it. That was quite annoying. Managed to see most of the show, but towards the end, there was a shift and somehow we got caught behind the iPad teens. So it was a constant peeping in between phones, pads and necks to see the stage and the screen. They 'conveniently' put the VVIP section in front of the screens and we couldn't see much from there. Thank goodness there were 2 screens.



 The lightworks were really awesome. With their concert being on Halloween's, they started the show wearing masks..that was cool :)

All in all it was a great concert, but I think I am too old to be in a mosh pit!!! We waited from 7pm till ~8.45pm and the show ended ~10.30pm.. so it wasn't really good for our knees :p

I don't know if they will ever come back, if they do, I hope the venue has seats! hahahaha

My view of the stage.. not as bad as Linkin Park's!

Ever wondered what music sports people and celebrities listen to? I was watching the Olympics swimming competition and the swimmers were walking to the pool. Suddenly I see Michael Phelps walking out with earphones.. I wonder what he's listening to? So here are a few pics of sports people/celebs and what I think they're listening to. All the pics aren't mine, I took 'em off the net, so credit goes to whoever that took the pics k?

Come Read With Me (February)

Image
I've got 4 books to share with you for February :) First would be a book given to me by Mariposi (aka Gavin) for my birthday. Was so thoughtful of you! Thank goodness he gave me the English version as I do not think I would be able to tackle the original version (which is in Spanish) as my vocabulary in Spanish is abysmal at this moment. The cover of the book pretty much sums up the story - A novel in monthly instalments with recipes, romances and home remedies. The story is set in a ranch in Mexico. A boy resorted to marry the sister of his girlfriend just so he could be close to her as she was destined to take care of her mother till her mother dies as she was the youngest of the family. I love the way Laura writes and she incorporates a lot of recipes in between the main plot. I just watched the movie (no subtitles!) and it was a good thing I read the book beforehand or else I might have gotten a little lost. They followed the book 100% and it was really good :) For more informa

Barcelona!!

Be warned: This is a super long post..longer than my Al-Hambra one! I'm finally blogging about my next destination during my trip to Spain.. that is none other than the lovely and quirky.. BARCELONA! After the last day of class (Friday), my friend Nav and I took the bus to Madrid..we booked a flight to Barcelona from Madrid at about 6.30am (i think?) on Saturday morning. We said our goodbyes to our housemates and new found friends, and departed the beautiful Salamanca. On the way to Madrid (last time onboard the efficient and comfy Avanza) I caught Ávila at night and I must say the view was breathtaking, it happened to quickly and I couldn't take the pic on time. Managed to catch the colourful sky though =) Skyline - trust me if was so beautiful in real, the camera gives it no credit at all. We spent the night at the airport, but I didn't get much sleep at all - THANKS to one lousy couple who sat opposite me..that lady had an annoying high pitched laugh..AND SHE KEPT LAUG
