The Script had their first Malaysian concert in April! :) I was fortunate enough to attend it. I have always enjoyed listening to them since their "Man Who Can't Be Moved" days, and I'm so happy to see them doing well and getting the credits that has been long overdue.  We bought the sitting ticket (learned my lesson after the OneRepublic one!). There was a venue change (originally was in Putra Indoor stadium, like the Adam Lambert one!) and I was a little nervous that it was going a fair bit of distance from the stage (like the Linkin Park one!), but we had a pretty good view :) Pic taken from the Script's Twitter account. I added the yellow circle to show where we sat!  What's cool about them is that they are very interactive with the crowd and their gratitude is very genuine. You really do feel the love! The entrance was the bomb! They walked through the crowds to the stage singing Paint the Town Green. Mark and Danny sometimes will run...

Happy 2015!  Here's a post of what has happened in 2014. It's been bittersweet, challenging, surprising and exciting all rolled into one. All I know is that I have to remember that something wonderful is always about to happen. (Sure beats being sad/negative about things!)

Hey All! I decided to start playing the ukulele :D I used to attempt playing the (very out of tune) guitar belonging to my sis yearrrrsss ago during my uni break. It was a very painful ordeal, not to mention that I am tone-deaf ;) I just decided to try it out once again, and the ukulele looked pretty enticing - nylon strings (my fingers will thank me for this) and fun-sized; just like me :) Say hello to my Tenor Ukulele :) Super thankful that they have electronic tuners now!!! Anyway, I was checking on YouTube on tutorials and one person messaged me saying that he does ukulele lessons. His name is Jeffrey Thomas ! He sent an email with some questions to know on my musical background, etc so he could customise the lesson. That was very nice of him :) We both in different countries, and it was 15hours difference! He was very nice to arrange the lesson via Skype at 6pm on his Saturday (poor guy, doesn't get a day off!). I had never been taught using Skype before. ...

I finally read Paulo Coelho's story about his pilgrimage. He shares his Pilgrimage to Sasntiago de La Compostela, Spain with his guide, Petrus, which took him several months in search for his sword. There are some strange stuff happening. I am a little confused, but hey, it's his pilgrimage and it seems like he has emerged successful. You have to read it to understand what I mean. :D I was reading Dan Brown's Inferno on and off. When I finally had some days off work, I managed to finish the book. He brought back the beloved Robert Langdon for this book. The setting is in Florence, Italy. Dan really makes me want to visit Italy!!! The plot is Robert Langdon finds himself in a hospital with short term memory loss...and the world to save in 24hrs or so. Very thrilling. There were a few twists. You could anticipate some if you have read his previous books, but some were unexpected. Must read if you are a fan of symbol and art.    Incarceron was a book my cousin ...

I read a few books.. and it's going to take a few photos to jog my memory! Thankfully I took photos of the books that I read. I have a feeling I have deleted some off my phone though..hmm.. here it goes, in no particular order (cause I really cannot remember!) The series that I was reading in January was the Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. She also wrote the Mortal Instruments (review here ). I must say this series was really well written. This is actually the prequel to the Mortal Instruments (the series is not complete yet). I really like the protagonist - a girl named Tessa Gray - who actually isn't sure what she is, but later finds out she has a gift of shapeshifting. There are many elements but to make it simple, it is a novel that is adventurous, romance and sometimes lighthearted. I really like the way Cassandra writes these books; adding twists here and there that I did not anticipate and summing it up all at the end. Kudos to her. Now, to wait for Book 6 from...

Well this year has been very,very interesting.. lots of changes and I must say 2013 is bittersweet indeed.
