The One about Brown Eyed Girls....

Was able to secure passes to Brown eyed girls showcase at Zouk! Now, For the benefit of those who are not exactly that into the Kpop scene, The Brown Eyed Girls are a Korean Girl Band group consisting of four members: Jea, Ga-in, Narsha and Miryo. Now even though they have been around for quite a while now. But I personally felt their rise to popularity in Singapore was due to the song 'Acrabadabra' (Check it out on Youtube!)

Upon entering Zouk It was totally packed!!! It didn't exactly matter even though we were holding on to the VIP passes because the VIP area was just as packed! In the end it was out of sheer luck did we managed to squeeze into a nice cozy spot enabling us to catch a glimpse of the girls performance.


The performance began with a Korean Dance group known as Sachoom and there was also another performance by another soloist known as Lee An. To Say to truth they were not half bad but the moment the girls came out the crowd went wild! It was also rather amusing to see that everyone could dance to the steps to their favourite songs and some even know the lyrics too!
There also happen to be a stage game session where the winners walked away with autographed merchandise from the girls... Lucky people! But seriously speaking, I was just Happy to Be There! Till Then!

The one about Paramore.....

The moment I heard that Paramore was coming to town i went totally ecstatic! While i wouldn't dare say that i am the biggest fan (that will be you Crystal). i would say that ever since the day i heard the song 'crushcrushcrush' i have started to update myself on their work ever since. Kinda wierd that someone my age will still listen to them? Haha... I dont really care!
The energy level was totally high at Singapore indoor stadium and it has been quite a while since i saw such a crowd and i bumped into quite a lot of familiar faces too! Mel, Daph, Des, Vernon and the others.

Seriously words cannot describe how much i enjoyed myself at this concert. I could only say it was one of the best concerts i have ayyended till date. Hayley Williams was her usual bouncy self and like how John Mayer once commented. She is indeed the Great Orange Hope of Rock.

To Conclude i could only say the only regret i had was not being able to make it for the meet and greet! Oh well... but still, a night to remember!

The one about Chinese New Year.....

And yes it is the season for Ang pows, Mandarin Oranges, Alchohol, Gambling and most of all Happiness! Of course with that, i have to be talking about Chinese New Year. Similar to last year i had a open house gathering over at my place again and many were invited. only different thing was that this year i did less of insisting and just the casual open invitation thing. Was really touched that many did show up though!

The caterer arrived rather early this year and it was a relief we managed to bargain with the caterer to allow us to keep the spread there for an hour later than the usual collection time. Once again though due to my Kiasu (or Kiasee for that matter) mentality of worrying there may not be enough food.. We ended up with too much food!! Connie and Dior was one of the earliest to arrive though (Thanks dears) to keep me company. The rest came shortly after as well.

Managed to make some Mojitos as well as stocked up on the different beers and was pretty glad i did in the end. Haha.... Anmy was rather impressed that i actually went through the trouble of preparing lime wedges for the Coronas. Made sure everyone was happily fed as well as buzzed before we proceeded with a friendly game of 21. For the Non Gamblers the PS3 machine was set up as well. Even though usually i do have terrible luck in Gambling but thankfully this time i think i still made a profit of 10 bucks... lol...

To conclude it is a really happy occasion only made complete and possible by everyone who attended! So Thank you EVERYONE!!! Special credit meention goes to......

The One about Four Mod....

Attended the Four Mod concert at Moko! For the benefit of those who do not know who are they. They are a Thai pop duo consisting of 2 girls, Four & Mod (simple isnt it?) Well this was kind of the first celebrity that is having their concert in the newly opened premises of Moko Club.

With all that said i have to truly admit that prior to this i have absolutely no idea who these two girls were at all. Even though there were always instances where i have heard their songs before without knowing that it was them singing. In order to find out a little more about them so as to not look like a complete idiot during the concert. I went through youtube to search for their songs for a bit. Reminded me a little like a thai version of Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi! well.... not in terms of looks but more on the overall presentation.
The girls looked much more sweet and pretty in person i would have to say, and not to mention their spunky personality and energy on stage toko everyone by storm. Some of the fellow audiences even sang along! Though i am not sure if they were singing the lyrics proper... lol.

Bumped into Amanda who was working there and it was good to have a little company as Cash was busy running around to keep things in order. Dawn 'Domokun' made a suprise visit to say hi to Amanda as well but didnt stay long though. Overall it was a success! bring on the next one!
