"Had a Bad Day"- Daniel Powder

Just wanna to share a song, "Had a bad day" by Daniel Powder. What impressed me the most is the MV. Though the lyrics are pessimistic, the MV touched me. I like the scene in the train, the 2 main characters felt lonely when they saw other lovers cuddling in the train. Both of them were longing for love one. At the end, they were bond together by an advertisement. It was really romantic.

Redang Trip


I have wanted to go to Redang few years back but I didn't have the opportunity. Finally, our church had organised this trip. I heard Redang is beautiful, there are a lot of fishes and corals. Therefore, I grabbed this chance and go for the trip.

It was an unforgetable trip. I met friendly guide there, he brought me to see beautiful fish and coral while we were snorkeling. It was my first time to touch the "christmas trees". They are small coral, look like flower, they grow on the stone. When you touch them, they will close. They are colorful, there are red, gree, yellow and etc.

The sand is very smooth, it is very comfortable to walk on the beach with bare feet. There were many people as this is the peak season. The weather was good apart from the first day we arrived as it was raining. The rest of the days were sunny and hot. I decided to have sun bathing this time, as I hope my skin can get golden tan like Jessica Alba. However, it just turned out dark. Sigh... Anyway, I enjoyed the sun bath, I laid on a beach chair and listened to the music. I didn't feel hot as it was windy. It was very relaxing. There were a lot of caucation there doing their sun tanning. Their skin color are beautiful.

In the evening, we played volley ball. I hardly played volley ball, I think this is my 2nd time playing volley in my life. I found it hard to control the direction of the ball. I hit very hard when I served the ball. My hand turn out to have a lot of bruises, especially my wrist. If I practice more, I think I can play better.

After playing volley ball, we played a game called "Two sided snake". It is a game we played when we were kids. In this game, we have to run fast and be alert. It was hilarious, when one was chasing another. We fell, and our body, even someone's face was covered by sand. Unfortunately, I do not have the pictures with me yet.

On the last day, we spent the day in the town in Pulau Terranganu. We were touring around, bought some local delicacies and ate durian. It was nice when many of us gathering together and ate durian. Next time, when you eat durian, remember to use the hardshell (backside) of durian to wash your hand. The smell will just gone, amazing! Also, use it to contain to water, guggle your mouth and drink the water, it helps to remove the bad smell.

If I have a chance I will go back to Redang beach again. So far, it's the most beautiful beach I went to.

Jason Mraz



Jason Mraz is a talented singer. He is very natural and spontaneous on the stage. He brings us joy and happiness. I like his songs because they are so relaxing. There is magic in his song.

Pls visit his homepage at http://www.jasonmraz.com/
I believe he design the homepage himself. It was impressive and creative. He is addicted to ice cream. If I dress myself as an ice cream lady, will he be attracted by me? Haha...

He is amazing guy! I love you, Jason Mraz!

Singfest Concert








I have been looking forward to Singfest concert since mid of July. Finally, I was able to be there and be one of the witness of this big concert. I heard there were 100,000 people in Fort Canning on Sunday. It was amazing!

We reached there around 1pm. This is my firt time to Fort Canning and first time attending a concert. We did not know we have to climb up the stairs. I think there are more than 100 steps. When we reached at the entrance, we saw a very long queeeeeeeeee. We couldn't see where was the end. People brought their food, drinks, like going to a picnic. I didn't prepare anything as I heard we are not allowed to bring our own food. Well, I told my friends that we just cut the quee. I am not going to go into the detail for this, as I am scared I will be scolded by those who have waited for few hours to get in to the gate. I am sorry!!

Anyway, we got into the first gate around 2pm. We still have to proceed to another gate. All the crowd had to wait outside the gate. Imagine it was very hot, no shade, everyone was squeezing. People keep sweating, squeezing... But we had wonderful time even we were hot. We can't wait to see our favorite artist, Alicia Keys, Jason Mraz & One Republic. Finally, the gate was open at 3:30pm. Everyone was rushing and pushing. I was squeezed in to the gate like sardin. Then, everyone was rushing to the field to book a good place.

We were lucky we found a place somewhere in the middle. It was real hot. The first 2 artists I am not familiar with. And the third one is One Republic. I like their show. It was good. There was 15-20 minutes break after every performance. It was really hard to move around as it was really crowded. Every footstep you step out you will probably step on others.

It was around 7pm, Jason Mraz on the stage. Woooooo.... Yeah......... A lot of people shouting and cheering. It was a great performance. I like the way how interact with the audience. He is such a humourous, hilarious and cute guy. It was awesome! Everyone was very high. I think the performance was too short. If I have a chance I should go for his individual concert.

The last 2 artists were PussyCat Dolls and Alicia Keys respectively. Everyone was waiting for these 2 big and famous artist. PussyCat Dolls are sexy and hot. Sadly, I don't really like them. Alicia Keys is one of my favourite singers, she is talented and attractive. It was a long wait. I was too exhausted. She turned out on 11pm, and the performance last for 1.5hrs. It was the longest among all the singers. The last song was "No One" from her latest album. It was great, audience were singing together. Great atmoshepre. Finally, the concert ended at 1am.

It was a tiring day for me. My body was sticky and smelly due to the sweat but I really enjoy the atmosphere, the crowd. Everyone was excited and high.



Lastly, this is the video clip I took while a girl was dancing on her dad's shoulder. It was very funny. Enjoy!

Sentosa!

It was busy weekend for me. I went rock climbing on Friday. This is my first time trying rock climbing, and I thought it is not difficult. I have no idea how it works. My sis asked me to go when I wake up on Friday morning. I was a bit "blur", and I said ok, cos I want to try. Luckily, I invited Kevin to go with us, or else I think we would waste our time there. It was adventurous and very challenging. I think I will try again. I like the feeling when I went up to the top. I felt I achieve something.. Haha...

Today, there was company team building in Sentosa. I am glad I joined cos it was a good work out. Although our team lose the game, I enjoyed the process. The weather was very hot and humid. Everyone seems enjoyed the time.

On the way back, we took the mono-rail and alight at Vivo City. We were thinking of giving away our "One day pass". Those are free for us given by company. It costs $3 per ticket. When we approached to those people who were queeing to buy their tickets and told them we were giving away the ticket. At first, they felt "weird" and did not know if they want to take the tickets. I mentioned again, "we give away for free", and some people shaking their head, some people looked at us with "why you want to give away for free" expression. Finally, some people just took it and even want to pay us.

It is not easy to get thing for free. There is no free lunch in the world. People always think if I get the free thing I have to do something. When we give thing for free without any condition, people will start doubting and questioning. There is no more trust among people. They will think you want to take advantage from them. I also realize one thing, it's better not to ask someone for help if you are not close to them. Not everyone is helpful, some people may think you only look for them if you need help. I rather do it myself if I can.
