Super excited for my first k-pop concert in my life!!!
The excitment started way back when the tickets was first released for sale for the 1st night concert. I still remember sitting in front of my computer, trying desperatly to get hold of the tickets on sistic website. Sad to say, I didn't make it. Tickets were all sold out within minutes.
Why am I writing this post if I didn't manage to get the tickets? The good news is they are adding an addition night on 29 Sept 2012.
The whole cycle started again on the next day, fighting for the tickets online. Well, I am just not good at these sort of things. But I am glad to say a friend of my friend manage to get hold of 7 tickets in the same row!!! Wow... Speechless...
Before the concert started, the crowd was already sitting eagerly outside the stadium hours before we can enter.
I had to q for almost an hour to get some of the official merchandise but I didn't manage to get anything as most of the things are already sold out. They should have informed us instead of making us q under the sun. :(
A big stand board for all the fans to take photo with. As usual, super long q and I do realise I don't have the time to q for this.
Decide to q for something that I think I will manage to get. Samsung is the official sponser of the concert and they have prepared a lot of freebies for the fans while trying to promote their stuff.
Tattoos on my both my hands. The black tattoo is more lasting than the yellow one. Please forgive my hairy hands. Hehe...
I didn't manage to take any photos since I am not in the standing pit and I am not really sitting that close to the stage. I doubt the photos will turn out nice so I might as well not try taking. Sorry about that... Anyway, I realise I am not able to enjoy myself to the max during a concert if I am trying to take photos. I will be busy trying to get the best angles and not really watching the show.
Concert photos posted below are all taken from 'Live Nation'.
I took a photo of the stage before the show started. This is my first time attending a concert that has a T-shaped stage. Quite refreshing.
This is another photo of the stage after lights are down and the audience have all turn on the lotus shaped torchlight. It's a sea of yellow. Impressed!
While there is language barrier, I can feel that Bigbang quite their very best to interact with us. And we show them our very best by screaming and jumping through the whole concert. It was a fun and enjoyable night.
Somehow, watching this concert has inspired me to re-take up korean lesson again. I do hope one of these days, I am able to understand what they are talking and singing about. Wish me luck!
After receiving the baby shower gift from my friend, I became interested in the idea of baking my own fruit tartlets too.
Sometimes, we have to face the fact that having an interest does not equal to being an excellent baker. I chose the next best alternative to ensure that my fruit tartlets will be edible at the very least. I went to attend a baking class conducted by ITSI Baking Studio.
It turned out that fruit tartlets is not difficult to bake. My main difficulty is the decorating of the fruit tartlets with the limited resources that were given to us. Well, I do have to admit that I am also not a very creative person, maybe even a bit boring. I simply have not much idea on how to make my fruit tartlets look nice and attractive.
These are the fruit tartlets made by all the students in the class. They do look very nice right?
Finally! These are the fruit tartlets baked and decorated by me!!! I am sure they are not the best fruit tartlets you have come across in your life but do give me some encouragement since this is my first time. :p
Taste wise, I just find it so so only... Delifrance fruit tartlets is always the best. I guess if I am in the mood for fruit tartlets, I will not hesitate to just go there and get one to satisfy the craving. After all, a Delifrance outlet has just open up across my house. How convenient! Hehe...
I have recently received a box of baby shower fruit tarts. This is certainly a more unique gift for baby shower as normally I will expect to receive some cakes or a cake voucher.
This fruit tarts are not like the normal fruit tarts that we can get from Delifrance (those are unbeatable in both presentation and taste). They are shaped more like a cupcake but it's simply a fruit tart with a thicker base than normal.
Taste wise, I have yet to try. I always felt that baby shower gifts usually look nicer than they taste. Hehehe... Definitely not in a hurry to finish up that box.
It has been a super long while since I last watched any korean drama. Well, at least half a year so that's considered long right? Hehe...
Once I started on this drama, 'A Gentleman's Dignity', I can't stop. I am just so super addicted to it. Maybe it's because I have not been watching korean for too long. The craving has always been there but I simply choose to ignore it. Once I start, I can't stop. Oops...
Watching this show has brought back some memories. Mature man can be very attractive still... Hehe...
When I was in secondary school, my friends are always teasing me about liking 'old man'. While, I don't really like 'old man'. I admire mature guys in their thirties. I guess when I was a teenage, man in their thirties are classified as 'old man'. Now that I am in my twenties, admiring man in their forties simply means that my taste in man didn't change much right? :p
Disclaimer: I do like guys in their twenties still...
I have finally come to the conclusion that I have gotten myself a selfish iPad. Why is that so?
When I first got my iPad, everything seem to be working fine. I had purchase the iPad with comes with wifi only. 3G seem too expensive at that time and I had convinced myself that I can leave with 3G. And I still believe that. Thank goodness!
One sudden day, my iPad that it's time for it to show me who is the boss. It refused to connect to my home wifi no matter how many times I restart my modem or my iPad. After what seem like three long terrible hours, it finally manage to connect and I have no idea what I did to make it work.
This situation happens again and again over time until one final day I finally discover the ANSWER! If I have another device connecting to my wifi, my iPad will not connect. If my iPad is already connected to my wifi, all other devices will not be able to connect. My iPad simply refuse to share the wifi with any other devices. Isn't it the most selfish fellow you have heard of? What's the use of setting up a wireless wifi network at home when only one device is able to connect to it at any one time?
Sadly, I am still unable to resolve this problem. I have no idea what is the problem causing this and no idea how to resolve it. I guess until I discover the solution, I simply need to live with just having a single device connecting to my wifi at any one time.
Well, the good news is that I will know if anyone is hacking to my network then. That is, if you are not a very good hacker yet. :p
Groupon has a lot of interesting deals that we can come across every now and then. I was attracted to this particular deal when I first saw it.
For just $25, you can learn to create an app for your iphone, ipad, and android phone. That sound like an attractive deal and think of the satifaction of being able to create an app for my phone instead of downloading one created by others.
The course lasted for 3hrs. Within half an hour, I was almost falling asleep.
Firstly, the course is held at an inconvenient location. It is held in an industrial building at Kembangan on a Sunday. Participants are required to bring their own laptop for the course. The classroom is too small and too packed with people. Even before the class start, I am already lowering my expectation for the standard of this course.
The instructor is not a good speaker. He did not seem to be able to hold the attention of the students for long, except for those who were determined to get their money worth.
The worst part of this course is, the so call creation of the app, is done via a webpage, free to public. If you are thinking of creating a game app or productivity app, you are in for a disappointment. All the instruction taught was to create an app fo a RSS feed. Actually I won't say he taught us to do it. Anyone who can read should be able to follow the instructions stated on the website and create the app easily all by themselves.
Don't think of asking too many questions. The instruction is not able to give a direct answer to most of the questions asked. It is fairly obvious that he is not able to answer questions that is not found in the faq of the website.
One important point to note is that the app created during the course, you actually can't download it to your phone at all. The best that you can do is only a preview of the app on the website that you use to create the app. To download the app to your phone, you will need to pay to create a developer account with itune. Submit the app to itune for review and if it is approved, you can then download it from itune.
Last but not the least, the instructor took sometime to explain this course that he is conducting which will help you to generate unlimited income. For just a low fee of $1,600, he will teach you how to create a game app. $1,600!!! I already felt that he had cheated me of my $25 for this course. Do I look like I am stupid enought to fork out $1,600 to attend his course again? Dream on!
If anyone is interested to create your own app, you can try it out at www.appmakr.com or http://hitzapps.com/.
Have fun at the website. You should be able to create your own app at NO COST at all.
