Kris Allen Showcase


Winner of American Idol Season 8 has stepped foot on our lovely Malaysia!!
Ashamed to admit, I have always been more of a Adam Lambert fan although i do enjoy Kris Allen's singing as well.
But I still tried my luck trying to win passes for Kris Allen's showcase from hitzfm but unfortunately i didn't manage to grab any.

But just hours before the showcase, I found out that I get to go after all! The catch? There was only ONE ticket, so what the heck! 'Live like we're dying' ... I am taking the chance and just go for it. Another catch though....I need to be home by 7pm and i finish work at 6pm....drat...I had to almost jog to Masjid Jamek, rush home and jump into a quick shower.

Arrived at the venue...the queue was looooooooong but i quietly went to the end of the queue waiting to get in. The atmosphere was awesome, all the excitement and cheering chatter.

Finally it was time to enter the ballroom. Very organized and smooth. I manage to secure a nice spot just a foot away from the metal fence.

The showcase begin right after JJ and Ean from hitzfm got the crowd pumped. They got some of the audience on stage to sing their fav Kris Allen songs. Then it was time for Kris to take the stage! The crowd got wild!

Kris started off with Heartless ....I can't remember the rest of the title of the songs he performed but I enjoyed myself ! Dancing to the music. Kris's band was awesome! The guitarist is very tall and hansome..hehehehhhehe! Was looking forward to Kris to perform 'No Boundaries' but he did, and also was hoping the showcase was longer.

To sum it all up, I had a blast! Thanks so much Yat

Not forgetting Sony Music, hitdotfm, starworld, astrolife for making this showcase possible.

BoysLikeGirls back in KL

Not too long after BoyLikeGirls bless our shores with their wonderful souls and music for Henessy Artistry. News came in that they are BACK to celebrate the launch of Nokia Comes With Music - Nokia X6.

And here is our story.
5 total strangers - Me and Jenn, MeiYuan, Michelle and Tracy - Met each other
because of our passion and love for the Boys. We prayed and hoped that we could win the Meet&Greet passes for this event and THANK GOD! We had just enough for the 5 of us.
And since that we would be meeting them again! *excited* we the crazy bunch, have decided, LETS MAKE THEM A SCRAPBOOK!!! As fanatic as we are, we all watched Read Between The Lines and John mentioned that they love scrapbooks and flipping through them once in awhile when they are free. Memories baby!

And the plotting begin! Although the 5 of us live so far apart, thank God for technology, we keep in touch and each other updated on the status of our project.
And by Friday afternoon...the long awaited 29th Jan 2010, project completed! A
nd we decided to take a group shot holding the book!


On to the Meet&Greet

Tracy went ahead of us because she won her invitation from Sony Music. Finally it was our turn! In ran MeiYuan, Michelle, Jenn and me.
I went straight to John. "Hey John! Welcome back!" "Awww thank you so much!"
Jenn passed the scrapbook to Martin, immediately he flips it open and started browsing. Here's a chance!
Jenn "Martin! I got a tattoo like yours!" Martin *wide eye* "Where?" *Jenn points to her ankle*
*Martin kneels down and pick Jenn's leg up, traces his finger over the star....pulls ou
t his iPhone and toss it to his crew guy to snap a pic*
Martin "Dude! Get her in the picture too!"
Martin leans nearer to Jenn and shows her his hand "This is my own handwriting, and now you have it on your forever" *smiles*
MeiYuan pass her gifts to Paul and Bryan then tiptoed "JOHN!!" *John's face brightens up "HEY~~!!!!"
Martin touches MeiYuan on the shoulder "Good to see you again!"
Sony people "ok lets take your picture now!"
Paul puts his arm on me, pulls me closer, Martin grabs Jenn closer, we all s
queeze together and SMILE!!!


To the concert!
This is War! That's what were in our minds when we made our way to the front. All that shoving and keeping our balance. Gosh these kids are TALL!! But we had a blast! Screaming their songs at the top of our voices. When Martin got the crowd to repeat the lyrics of 'Heart, Heart, Heartbreak'...we just co
uldn't help ourselves but point towards him and scream "Don't say you love me, YOU'RE leaving!!!"


Overall it was an awesome day spent with my new darlings! Everything happened so fast and adrenaline were rushing like madness. Though i was also sorta looking forward to get an X6 for RM66 but didn't manage to get the coupons.
But a million thanks to Nokia and SonyMusic for making this all happen. Looking forward to the Boys coming back again who knows when!

Oh yeah! Here's a slide show if the Scrapbook we made them =)
