Ladies and gentlemen,

It has finally arrived.. what has?
Yes, it is finally that time of the month for me..
..
..
..
the time where I finally update this very blog of mine. :x
lu semua fikir apa *smirks

Anyway, life has been kind of dull for the past few weeks until very recently where there were some very exciting events namely the Electone Fest and International Jazz Fest which occurred just yesterday, of which I attended both of course. :D

After 3 consecutive years of participating EF, I finally get to be an audience for this year. Being an audience totally rocks! It felt so gooood and relaxing as all you have to do is to just sit back, pose like hippo and enjoy all the performances. I must say, everyone did GREAT! Can't wait to watch the national finals coming July 1st, missed out the ensemble performances yesterday since me and some of my friends just stayed there just for the first half.

Hee anyway, get to take solo pic with my idol, ah miss Wan Sim!! sad tak ada autograph from her

Damn yeng mannn her performance!! yeng until explode I tell you, trust meh. 

Add in ah miss Penny (who is also my idol, LOL) and we are The Electone Trio!

 
scare die mei you all?!

Straight after the photo taking session, me and the few of my friends, namely Penny, Chee Ing, Arion, and Eu-jane, went for the KL International Jazz Fest.


Yes, event title is pretty self-explanatory with the word 'international', so basically there were lots of renowned and world-class jazz musicians who came and performed for this event. One of them is Incognito which I think most of you would know or have at least heard of :x

BUT!! The one and only who I was most looking forward to was of course, Hiromi Uehara! She is a jazz.. sorry, I mean THE jazz pianist!

kawaiiii~~

You know? We've got ourselves bronze seat complimentary tickets :D which is like very worth it. Imagine you get to enjoy world-class performances for free! Who wouldn't want it!? But who knew? When we reached the hall entrance, the staffs asked us to go to the ticket counter and have our tickets upgraded to GOLD seats, I was like homaigod a unicorn has flew by me.

By the time we went in, it's already 7pm++. 3 performers are yet to perform at that moment.

Gold seat memang gold seat, so freaking near. I may die peacefully :D

..
However..
BIG however..

There were this unexpected twist of happenings. In the picture above, we were sitting in the K row. After not even a minute of sitting there, the staffs asked us to move to KK row as our tickets memang indicated that we are supposed to sit in KK row.

So.. we ended up as shown in the picture below, wtf.

..
So much for gold seats =.= 

Anyway, better than nothing, it's free after all, hee.

First performer that we've saw is Everett Harp, a very good saxophonist! 

Next one to perform was Hiromi! Her turn lasted for 1 and a half hour and I say, IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT! She's the real deal, as Arion said :x which I agreed till the point I can't nod anymore. ALL her pieces are freaking mind blowing, her piano touches are nothing but perfecto! Even the drummer, Steve Smith, one heck of a drummer, his solos are just too good. So, this would be the one and only phrase from me to sum up their performances.. 'RAINBOW PUKING PERFORMANCES!!' *pukes rainbow

Hiromi Uehara :D


The Trio Project! Hiromi Uehara, Anthony Jackson and Steve Smith!

Yes, damn blur I know, remember where am I seated at? Yes no? ;_;

The last one to perform is Ahmad Jamal, a.k.a. Hiromi's mentor. *screams*
We left after his first piece. Not because he is not good or what, but let's say he is too good, way too good. Good till the point where me and my friends couldn't understand his piece at all. Moreover, we've already wow-ed enough during Hiromi's performances. :x

Besides, it's around 12am at that moment, since it's so late already we went to a club and ordered 2 bottles of wines and drank them and whatever you have read after that last comma is just pure fiction. But yes, we did left after his first performance and that marks the end of the jazz festival. for us.

So yep, that is it for this post, so this time of the month is over for me already, wait for next month hor you all HAHAHA. Good bye!

and yes the title manyak rhyme I know~~ all those F.. goodness >.<
