Chocolates~

Cheers!~

=)

First, we went for dinner at Heritage Cafe on Nanas Road.

(Sorry, no pics..was busy catching up with each other and enjoying my lamb chop XD)

After dinner, as usual, we were all indecisive of where to go next..

Standing in the middle of the carpark.... (not actual conversation - just a 'summary' of the actual 10 minutes conversation)

Everyone else: Dunno..where to go ar??

Someone: You drive we follow la. Where you stop we stop.

Everyone else: Aduh....~

Everyone else: Ok!

Off we went to Travillion.. (supposedly the liveliest place at night) but no....it was kinda dead tonight.

At Travillion carpark.. (also not the actual conversation)

Me: Yea..!! So where to go??

Sat in our cars discussing where to go through the window.

......... "Bing's!?" "Airport?" "SoHo?" "Mamak?" "Coffee Bean?" "McD?" "Waterfront?" "Tun Jugah?" "Sarawak Plaza?" "Waterfront?" .......... 

After about 15 minutes, we unanimously agreed to go Waterfront. (Because Liyana wanted to cam-whore) haha!

Well, we arrived at Waterfront at about 9:40pm - according to my camera.

The very first thing we saw, was of course Kuching's Giant 'Orange Juicer', which is still under construction.

It's actually quite a good looking building, except that the location is just so wrong. (at least in my opinion)

I mean, why build such a huge and er....modern?-looking building in an area surrounded by 'kampung' houses?? It kinda ruins the peacefulness and the serenity of Waterfront. The other side of the river used to look very traditional and historical, with all the Kampung Melayu and the Fort Magherita. Now, everything else is 'drowned' by this 'orange juicer'. -.-"

(More pics of the famous orange juicer in upcoming posts. =D)

Back to our 'night out' earlier on..

After we were all done snapping pics of the building, Liyana decided to put her camera on 'fireworks' mode and started snapping her camera and shaking it, creating cool effects.

The rest of us thought it was cool so we copied her! 

and these are a few pics that I produced...~

and these are a few pics that Fiona produced..~ lol..

Nice eh??? XD

And another new way to use your camera is by setting it on timer, and start spinning it!

Resulting in....

THIS!

But of course, we did other things besides walking around, shaking and spinning our cameras.haha! (everyone who walked pass us must be wondering what were we doing)

and Yes, we got quite a lot of people looking at us, and there was this freaky guy that came and sat next to us asking us what were we doing... yeesh..!~

Anyway, more pics to describe how bored we were

Soon after that, we got bored of taking pictures of lights.

Next thing we did was randomly snapping pics of everyone..lol~

(Well, actually Fiona did most of that) - My camera, low-batt; Liyana - busy posing XD

Crazy pictures of Liyana were taken by Fiona, and soon after that, she got crazy with the camera - randomly snapping pictures and blinding us with flashes.

............................

Then, there were the 'over-exposed' pictures. Also by Fiona~

For example, this super bright pic of me! (That i like...heehee..~)

and few other pics such as these..~

I have no idea who or what was in the last picture.

Anyway, before we went home, we took a group jumping pictures! haha! (this was SOOO embarrassing but FUN!)

Everyone was staring at us! Gosh..!~ They must have thought we were drunk or just a bunch of hooligans - laughing, giggling, squealing all the way.

After tonight, I swear I'll never go back to Waterfront ever again.. =P

Anyway,

14^th May 2008.

 

“GAP presents Marie Digby live in Kuala Lumpur!” *crowd screams*

 

But of course, before we went for the event, we had dinner! We found this “hidden” restaurant at a corner in One Utama that we seldom go to – TCK 1920 Hakkakaya. The place looks like a ‘kopitiam’ restaurant - with the marble table top and stuff… lol~

 

Anyway, we didn’t know exactly what to order, so the easiest solution was to order the ‘Today’s Special’, which was the Roasted & Marinated half chicken. It was a combo meal and it was HUGE! (we didn’t know that when we ordered -.-“) and I could barely finish my dish. It comes with mashed potato, veggie and pasta aglio olio OR Mexican rice, with a glass of iced lemon tea. (The name of the pasta might sound nice and yummy, but honestly, it tastes like plain Kolo mee without the ‘char siew’ oil. XD )

 

And with every order above RM50, you’ll get a complimentary Hakkakaya Toast! We got one and it was quite nice. The bread was really toasted (it was crispy unlike some places that calls untoasted cold bread ‘toast’) and the butter was just nice, as in not too buttery or too much that it makes you feel like puking after eating one piece. =P

 

After dinner, which was about 7pm, we went to find the GAP store. When we got there, there was this French expo thingy going on. We were all thinking, “maybe it’s still too early…” So we decided to go do some shopping. Luckily we went in the right direction and noticed that the event was further up front! At that time, the stage area was already quite packed.

 

But, we were smart enough not to squeeze with the crowd. Haha! We went upstairs and stood behind the Estee Lauder booth. (at least I think it was Estee Lauder..heh..) The view of the stage wasn’t GREAT, but at least we had plenty of space to move around, and a really nice view of the crowd. Lol~

 

The event started off with some questionnaire thingy, with prizes such as Marie Digby’s album and GAP caps. Then there was the singing competition for the top 3 finalist of Mix.fm’s contest. (The prize was a Yamaha acoustic guitar, autographed by Marie Digby!!) Kimberly, a 12 year old girl, won the competition. (Damn, she was GOOD! She has this sort of sweet and innocent voice.)

 

All of a sudden, this ‘lelaki sesat’ just appeared on stage.

 

Well, he’s actually one of the performers in this group named Acoustic 39. They won 2^nd place in some kind of Youtube contest and they sang Marie Digby’s Say It Again A capella style (think that’s what the style is called XD). Not bad..actually it was quite nice. Especially with the beat box effect.

 

Finally, Marie Digby!!!! Woo hoo!!~

 

Her performance was great that night! And I like her dress – those gray pinafore…looks cute on her. =P

She sang quite a number of songs. Didn’t get all the names but among them were ‘Stupid For You’, a song she wrote for GAP, her famous ‘Say It Again’, and of course ‘Umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh’. Haha..

 

When she sang ‘Umbrella’, she challenged the crowd to be louder than her fans in Singapore. I thought us being Malaysians, with the ‘Malaysia Boleh!’ spirit and all, would do a great job…but nah…the crowd was quite soft. So disappointing! There were like thousands of people but ‘Umbrella’ sounded so ‘tidak bersemangat’. Gosh!~

 

And that was it! After her last song (Umbrella) the showcase ended and she went off for the autograph session. Sadly I didn’t have a copy of her album. =( No album = no autograph..boo-hoo!!~

 

Anyway, just watching her perform live was good enough. Heehee..~

Plus i managed to snap a paparazzi-like pic of her..lol~
