The Jason Mraz concert could possibly be the most amazing thing I have ever experience

So yes I'm back and I took a shower. We joked that we need to perah the sweat first as a reminder of the concert we went to. So the event started like this, we (me, Rafa, Sarah and 2 of Sarah's friends) lined up outside the stadium for like an hour. We took pictures with Awin's camera for a short time and mostly catch up on our lives.

Then the gates were open and we were pushed inside. Inside we sort of stood at the front most part of our section. We waited for another hour and a half. We lost Sarah to her friends due to the people filling in fast. ( we told her to go to the lost & found counter if she couldn't find us later) So it was just me and Rafa.

The wait was agony to me. It was hot and I couldn't move. Plus I was thirsty as hell like a desert was growing down my throat. But when the lights turned down and Jason arrived on stage with his acoustic guitar and signature pale fedora, everything sort of faded away.

The second song he sang was The Remedy. He played in a differently composed way which made it so much more fun to sing. During the chorus, he asked the crowd to sing and could you believe it, everyone sang along. The whole stadium was echoed by our unified voices. It was a chilling experience.

He then sang some of his famous songs (I'm Yours, You and I, Geek in the Pink) all in a differently composed way from jazz to beach music to spanish soul. The arrangement of the songs were so beautiful and addictive. Even I who has never heard some of his songs felt like I had already listen to them a million times. Rafa knew all the songs cause she listened to his albums.

Me and Rafa linked our arms, swayed our bodies and sang along throughout the whole concert. Rafa and I felt the tingly feeling of listening to his voice and drowning ourselves in his romantic poetry. Its like that feeling you have when a guy serenades you an amorous song. Your heart starts to burn and your kness become weak.

After it ended, we all raced outside before we die of thirst. We manage to scramble through and bought 3 bottles of mineral water. We all quafed down three quaters of the bottle in less than 2 minutes. Then we went our separate ways to head home.

I don't have much pictures or any video but the memory of seeing and experiencing Jason Mraz personally is something I will never forget. It was an out of body experience that I wish all of you could taste.

Big thanks to Rafa and Sarah! You guys were my best friends tonight!

Busted!

School is over! Whats the problem? I got news from my sister that our prom which was held last year was discovered by the school authorities. Our principle announced it during assembly. She said that if we were to plan a party, we should do it together with the school. Then she said that the last school she became principle at, they had their prom with the school's help. It was an all girls school and they had the prom without any boys. Where's the fun in that? Boring gila sial! Plus all of us has finished school, we're not bounded to them anymore. So the party has nothing to do with the school. Its a party for studenta who left the school that year. Seriously, if we had the prom with the school's knowing, it would be a disaster . All we do is sit down and eat. No DJ, no performances, no Bunkface . Plus think of all the rules. Our dresses must be decent which means no sleeveless and nothing above the knee. Baik pakai baju kurung je! God the whole point of doing prom wi...

Breezy Island Getaway

At first I assumed that our trip to Penang would be simple. Honestly, I wasn't even looking forward to it but in the end I did enjoy myself. I thought we were staying in the city but it turned out we stayed at Batu Ferringhi which is near the beach. I didn't get to swim cause I didn't bring a swimsuit. I haven't been to Penang for years now and when I was there, I feel like I want to retire there. The atmosphere there is awesome. Its so laid back and carefree. I can see myself in a floral summer dress with my sunglasses and flip flops, wandering around the beach every morning. The night flea market there was so much fun. I wanted to buy this turqoise bracelet which is similar to the one Bella wore in twilight but it was too damn expensive. Sheesh.... When we were there, I thought I could leave all my KL problems for a while and just relax. Then my dad called and ruined everything. It seems like since SPM ended, he is always bringing me bad news. I'm effing annoyed ...

Simple to Sour ( A Fucked Up Birthday)

By
My grandparents screw up everything! They are toxic! FYI- I am currently crying and I'm too mad to hold back any tears. I don't care, all i wanna do is get this out. I'll call Nurul or Jasmin or Mia after this to let out my feelings. I don't expect anything extravagant from my grandparents. They are old and don't believe in celebrating birthdays. To them, it's just another normal day.  I was surprised when I came home to see my maid cooking my favorite kuih gulung and she said that my grandfather is at Nikko Hatel buying my birthday cake. So before dinner, my grandmother confronted me and asked me why didn't I tell her about my party this weekend. There are a few reasons why I didn't tell her: 1) I didn't bother because she's not gonna be there anyway 2) I am going to be with my dad that weekend so she doesn't have to worry about anything 3) I'm not using her money 4) Nothing would change if she did knew about it She was mad saying th...
