Sorry guys for not posting anything for ages. Well, it's just one month max.
I have been so busy lately with my exam preparations. FOUR written exam plus TWO clinical assessment. Unbelieveable. All these within 16days!
As I promised, I will blog about One Republic concert, I still remember and will do so after my exam.
In between my busy schedule, I went to another concert. (AGAIN?!) Yes, I did. It was La Roux, electro-pop British band. A different genre people will lease likely to get involved with, unlike the more popular pop, rock, dance and hip hop music!
Elly Jackson from La Roux.
It's Saturday night so I take a few minutes to blog, keeping my blog alive. And.... I will have another concert to go to this month! I am so looking forward to it, and it's going to mark the ending of my exams (not quite yet). Stay tuned!
It is not adverse drug reaction you get from using steroids but the side effect I get from an amazing gig I attended last Friday. It's the exclusive OneRepublic concert in Glasgow.
Excited as a kid, I was on the second row of the gig, able to see each member of the band so clearly. I will post something exclusive about the gig.
Click on the song above, it's one of my favourite song of OneRepublic's Waking Up album. It's called Good Life. This song was created by the band with inspiration from London. It makes me feel even closer to the band mentioning places like Piccadilly of London. It's a place I love in London. Nonetheless, the lyrics remind me that I am having a good life as always and love my life to the most. It's also the favourite song of the band as cited by Ryan Tedder during their gig in Glasgow. They will be shooting the new music video in Italy during their current Europe tour. I think would it will be more appropriate if they shoot in London.
No matter if you are busy, upset or bored, remember there's always a way to live life to be happier. There's much more people in the news suffer a lot more than anyone else. I always remind myself to be optimistic even though life don't go the way you want it to be. I love my life now and is living a good life. If you have a camera with you don't forget to capture every single nice moment you been through.
I fit the following verse in the song reminds me of all the people I met in my life. You know who you are and it's for you!
To my friends in Kuching I say 'Hello' My friends in U.K. love you all, Where I've been for the past few years or so, Paris to London to Berlin and Rome
And there's nothing to complain about. We're surrounded by loving family and friends.
Tomorrow is the start of my concert fever! Not that I am a musician performing in an event but a concert-goer who love to join the crowd and feel the heat!
I went to Backstreet Boys' Concert, last year in October. I was amazing as they are my favourite boy band since I was a kid! Finally a dream comes true to me.
16th April 2010 is the day! I am going to see One Republic! I loves all their songs, not just the 'Dremaing Out Loud' album but also the new one, 'Waking Up'. I even follow their twitter!
The lead singer, Ryan Tedder is so talented, written songs for many people, including Beyonce 'Halo', Leona Lewis 'Bleeding Love' and so on! One great alternative rock band.
It's going to be in O2 ABC in Glasgow, Sauchiehall Street, one of the busiest street in Glasgow. It's right in the city centre so no need to worry about transport.
Jealous? Haha! There two more concert after One Republic! Yay!!
Can't talk more. Will update soon, and wants to revise their songs!
Honestly, I'm not too sure. Occasionally, is it just a deja-vu or you might actually dream of something that is going to happen in future.
Recently I find that my dream is rather common, not like being chased by a zombie or fell into the world of fantasy like Alice in the Wonderland. I can dream of my yellow headphone and the fridge, which is rather weird.
Yesterday, fuse of the kitchen went off, hence many electrical appliances not working, i.e the fridge and jug kettle. Me and my friend Sarah was kind of worried that our food in the fridge n freezer will b rotten. There's nothing we can do either. Thinking of just wait for Monday and people from Maintenance Department to fix.
Last night when I was in my dream, I dreamed of the fridge! (So bizzare!) That the fridge is now OK and functioning well. When I woke up in the morning, I told Sarah about that and find it funny!! It's just a dream though.
'Knock, knock!' My other flatmate knocked on my door a short while later to asked me something and told me the fridge is now back to normal. ARGHHH!!! What's going on??
Any of you know what is the link between real life and dream?? Weird.

Side story:
My friend told me about there's a new application for iPhone. It's sleep cycle and it knows when you are in deep sleep, dreaming or awake. You just have to switch on the APP then put it on our bedside. It has an alarm to wake you up at the best time in the morning, a bit earlier than your desire alarm. When you wake up in the morning, it will give you a graph like this:
Johnny Depp is brilliant! From Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of Carribean to Mad Hatter of Alice in the Wonderland. Totally love the character of Mad Hatter!
I Wikipedia the movie and found that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp went to the extreme side of the movie, to make it more fantasy. The funny thing is, Johnny Depp trying to use Glaswegian Scottish accent in the movie. How can I not notice that? Oh yes! In case you noticed the word 'extreme', then you know in the English speaking world, Glasgwegian accent if definitely difficult to understand. (I'm still kinda half-know-half-not-sure state about Glasgwegian accent, althought I know how to communicate with people in Glasgow).
Anyway, the movie is definitely a MUST-SEE. I love it and watching it the second time is fine for me.
The love for Alice in the Wonderland 3D is not over yet, many people still talk about it and many people still yet to see it. If you know the cartoon by Disney for Alice in the Wonderland, expect a bit of differences from the movie although can be quite predictable. My favourite character is still Mad Hatter that he's so cute in the movie. Even Facebook proved it for me!
Let me know what do you think of this movie? Mad-as-a-hatter!!
xx
(p/s: I'm in the library hence do not have much time to blog in details about this movie)
The return of Alice in the Wonderland in the hand of Tim Burton, adds fantasy with 3D and animation. I'm going to watch it soon!
I watched the original version of Alice in the Wonderland, cartoon version by Disney, about 15 years ago. I love the cartoon as it's more of a fantasy land than a fairy tale.
The come back of this film, draws the attention of many retailer, creating lots of Alice's merchandise. It's all from Paul & Joe make-up range, to OPI Mini Nail Lacquer set, Miss Selfridge's Alice inspired t-shirt and a lot more! Even macaroon is inspired by the comeback of Alice in the Wonderland!
I went to Paris during end of January, for some de-stress. And fpund out about the very famous double-decker macaroons that was invented by the French pâtisserie, Ladurée. We hunt for their main store in Avenue des Champs Elysée:
We were so excited when we saw this! Went in there and told the sales person what we want. My forefinger was pointing at the glorious macarons, said:
"I want one each of these."
The feeling of excitement and being a forefinger customer is so much fun! (It's something that we can afford to buy one of each in Champ Elysée, not like some rich women went in to Louis Vuitton buying luxury goods using forefingers! LOL!) We just can't wait to try each and every single flavour!
I just can't wait any longer, had one large vanilla macaroon on Avenue des Champs Elysée, before even having my lunch! Vanilla is far most the best ever! Vanilla ice-cream's the best, too!
Look at its colour!!
OKAY, back to my main point.
Ladurée, too has limited edition macaroons, made based on Alice in the Wonderland, only available in selected store.
It is in a stunning music box adorned with emblematic images as a tribute to the enchanting world down the rabbit-hole that Ladurée imagines its new limited series gift box.
The new macaroons flavour is green apple. It's a new flavour Ladurée proud to present, that it's both both tender and tart, bold yet refined. Astonishing colour of Granny Smith green is just so charming! *Drooling* I want one!
Ever since I know Nike, I love it! It was not like fell in love at first sight but of course heard about its advantages. The comfort I get from my first pair of Nike sport shoes, form my loyalty to the brand since. The first pair I had was a black low dunk sport shoes with neon yellowshoe string and swoosh. Very funky and I wore it to my netball practice. There's lots of imitation products of Nike with the swoosh band, so beware!
Here in UK, I found out there's something called Nike I.D.. It is a service that you can personalise your own Nike shoes with selected designs. I only able to do it last year, after Christmas when I was in London. I was so excited and wait for my shoes to arrive within 4 weeks time!
(Start from scratch. Click on the above picture if you wanna try it out)
There was lots of design to choose from but I picked this one. Mary Jane shoes. Something different from Nike as I already had many of sport shoes, including low dunk and Nike Free.
As I am very into the colour of yellow, the main colour I chose is of course YELLOW! Nike do not produce lots of shoes in yellow, as I think the more popular colours are blue, pink, white, black or grey.
Initially I was given this my the store and has a printed copy of my design, by Designer Anna. Never thought the package is so complete!
One fine day, as I have waited for long,...
Tadaa!! My personalised Nike Mary Jane is here!! One and only in the world, special edition! At first I was not sure about the size but the 'Size Guide' section while ordering helps a lot!! This fits me so well and could not feel the weight while walking! Superb!
These are the initial I had at the back of my shoes. 09 indicates made in year 2009. I am aiming more of Nike I.D shoes to come.
