My ears bled most of the time, and I cringed a lot over some of the performances and how the MCs spoke. But I survived, thankfully.

Day started off pretty badly. Got over that when Khai and Shantini arrived.

It didn't take us long to find the place, as Shan had been there before apparently. Yes, I had never been there, not even to TGIF's. Now laugh.

Shan used common sense to follow some peers up the stairs, and lo and behold! We had a whole crowd of crazy loud teens waiting to enter.

Had some communication problems at the stairs, but I think that's settled. I think.

Chloe was one busy human! Seriously, I think it had been ages since I last saw her, she looked really different somehow! Of course, in a good way. ;)

Khai, Shan and I eventually made our way to some random seats at the back, since there wasn't enough seats. Right. We were stuck with the very loud fans of the band One Chapter. That would be Amira Aisya's brother's band by the way. Saw the former, which was quite a relief to me. It's always nice seeing familiar faces okay!

Also saw a couple of juniors, so I didn't felt like some alien in a crowd of mostly unknown people. For your information, my social circle isn't that wide.

There was this opening dance, which most of the guys went crazy over. Duh, two girls with very short shorts and loose tops dancing. What else can you expect?

Most of the bands were okay actually, if they had more practice.

Overall, the all-Malay bands had better showmanship, surprisingly. Pap Pap was really awesome, but they didn't even get an award. It's a shame for them.

There was one band, I think their name was Sky Blue? They performed Get Back by Demi Lovato, in which everything else was awesome..except for the vocals. I feel sorry for the vocalist, she was most probably so nervous, it didn't turned out so well.

There was also this instrumental band that performed Jerry C's Canon Rock. I actually thought they weren't too shabby, but yes, the judges were right in the point that there were too many electric guitars. I'm not going to speak any further 'cos I can't play guitar, I don't really have much right to comment.

Not forgetting the youngest drummer who was only eleven years old, I kid you not! She can actually keep the beat going! Girl power baybeeeh!

Yes, we even had some Metallica in the list. What else to expect when Alvin Sanjay and Gurdave are in the house?

The beatboxer was really cool! I just found out he's Melissa's cousin! Also the performance of Umbrella, I absolutely ah-dored how the keyboardist played.

One of the judges also performed on the drums and this other guy on the guitars. They are professional, so they didn't disappoint.

Summing up, and all in my humble opinion(s),

Most Overplayed Song(s):
Bad Romance by Lady GaGa.
21 Guns by Green Day.
Revolusi by Bunkface.

Most Outstanding Showmanship:
Pap Pap.

Best on Guitars:
Alvin Sanjay in the second band he performed with.
Remember how the MC went,
"How did you do that?
Playing the guitar on your back?
Isn't it heavy?"
LOL much.

Most Epic Moment(s):
1. When the vocalist of One Chapter had the battery from his mike flying out in mid-performance.
2. When Izz said he forgotten his lyrics - on stage.
(Why man, why?!)

Best Vocals:
The vocalist from Remedy for the Cure.
I enjoyed hearing him sing!

Absolutely Cringe-Worthy:
The MCs actually committed these two major errors,
which I really cannot forgive.
One of them said "Got Back by Demi Lovato."
Another said "I Don't Love You by My Chemical Love."
Next time, they better get their facts right before they let these slip out of their tongues.
Especially during a band competition.

And of course,

Best Company for the Day:
Khai and Shan! (:
In any case, to the members of United Stupidity,
I'm sure you all did your best.
And I'm proud of that.
(:

Detecting more familiar faces,
Najwa Hanee and Veena! ;)

I also saw Christina and Mindy!
Took a picture with Mindy, but she haven't uploaded it yet.
I absolutely heart these two people.
And hell, I miss them!

It’s not an English name I came up with for myself. My mother is indeed a genius in coming up with such a splendid name for me. Although my name has been unfortunately mutilated (nicknames are excluded) over the past years, full credits to my mum for my current identity.

I’m certainly looking forward to changing the word ‘patient’ to ‘survivor’! If you’re interested to read about my journey in battling lymphoma, you can click here to proceed to my cancer blog.

Ironic, I know; this blog is mainly pink instead. I like all colours actually, but I find myself having an affinity to the colour green. In fact, I can safely say that green is my soul colour.

Languages, music, fashion, photography, cultures, dance, literature, writing; just about anything, really. The arts truly intrigue me, especially thought-provoking pieces. Of course, the arts play a major role in inspiring me in my everyday life.

I don’t have a favourite genre – I read any book that interests me!

I am a trained right-hander from young, since apparently being left-handed is considered ‘wrong’. Basically, I’m ambidextrous! No wonder I find it easier to air guitar using my left hand than my right; I simply relate to the arts than subjects that deal with logical thinking better, too.

A stubborn Bull I am, too. I abhor being rushed. I prefer doing matters at my own reasonable pace. I don’t particularly like changes in my routine, but I can adapt quite easily. I’m a very practical person as well. I enjoy the beautiful things in life, but that doesn’t make me shun ugliness at all. Besides, it all depends on how one perceives beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Still am, but I’m slowly learning to accept imperfection into my life. Also, I’m doing my best to erase the many expectations I have so I could one day master the art of letting go and freeing myself to simple happiness and joy.

Compared to before, I’m less dramatic nowadays. Language-wise, I attempt to blog flawlessly in English and speak proper English online with my peers. Call me a Grammar Nazi all you want, but that’s how I roll. I only converse in perfect English in formal situations and during my dramatic outbursts. Otherwise, I’m absolutely capable of communicating like the average Malaysian!

It’s a different issue altogether when you’re forced to learn for the sake of getting good grades, though. Other than that, I’m open to new information and knowledge anytime! I especially would like to learn more languages and pick up new musical instruments.

…are just some of the things I would love to do in the near future, hopefully!

the basic rules apply. If you respect me, I’ll respect you. If you happen to be someone who has low EQ skills, I’ll try to be tolerant but my patience is definitely limited. I’m observant when it comes to human behaviour. I’m a person of many opinions, but I don’t voice them out unless I trust you enough; I’m very honest and candid when it comes to the people I can trust. Even though I trust very easily, not everybody can prove that they’re all that nice. Hurt me, and I’ll only defend myself if necessary. Hurt my family or my friends – you won’t find me holding back.

Is there anything else you would like to know about me?
Throw me your questions and/or doubts here! I honestly have nothing to hide, so you’ll expect the truth and nothing but the truth.

It’s only how I phrase my answers that you’ll have to be aware of.
Or…you can click hereto go back to reading!
