Music 2015: Jon Bon Jovi in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Jon Bon Jovi was back in town again. He mentioned that he came by here before, back in those days, since 20 years ago.

Today, dated 19th September 2015 was a day I attended the music legend's concert @ Stadium Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur. Yayyy~ Though I am not a big fan of his. As I only knew of a few selected famous songs such as "Always" and "It's My Life". Those were the ones that I really know, heard of and love.

My friends enjoyed attending concerts to relax our mind and so, here I am. 

Traveling to KL from Penang just for Jon Bon Jovi's concert. From the KLIA2 airport, we took the Express Railway to Bandar Tasik Selatan to meet with our other friends. Here, we chanced upon the 3D art of a cheetah on the floor.

After meeting up and having our lunch, we went for a stroll and teabreak at KLCC and other malls nearby before going for the concert at night. Above is the KLCC tower. The so called tallest building in Malaysia. ;D

 First time sitting on a brick "chair" at an outdoor stadium and awaiting for the concert opening to begin.

A short clip live on "Livin' on a Prayer" in which I took. It was the closing song and it was really a closing ceremony that ended with a bang! Everyone sang very loudly together in unison. Anyway, the blog can't allow me to upload the whole clip, Otherwise it would be awesome.

It was an awesome night. Although he didn't sing my favourite "Always" song, though I really hoped he would.

Cheerssss~

Music 2015: Far East Movement in Penang, Malaysia

Everybody yo~ Far East Movement was in da house yo, the hip hop group came all da way from Los Angeles!! *woot woot* *put your hands up in da air yo* ;)

One of the advertisement banners

It was in conjunction with the country's national day celebration on the 31st of August 2015. The concert was on the 29th of August 2015, organised by Cuvee Club @ Precinct 10 for the Zero Limits Merdeka Madness. So happy that I won a pair of free concert tickets from Zero Limits Merdeka Madness via facebook contest. Yayyyyy~

Thank you, Cuvee! *muaks*

Before Far East Movement showed themselves up by performance their famous number of songs for more than an hour, there were other local and international DJs who turned up to entertain us too such as Noize Faktor and etc. in which I do not know. haha~ wtf~

One of their screen displays~ AND..TRIP AND TRIP....It's tripping yo~

Huge yellow balloon ducky was going around the crowds' heads. Bewareeee and watch out~ muahaha~

 OMGG...they really just knew how to interact with fans/ audiences. First of all, was the shooting of water gun interaction. Then it came up with the huge yellow balloon ducky tossing (as shown in the above) among the party goers and lastly, Prohgress tossed himself into the crowds (of course I had to shun away and stepped back from the crowds as I do not have so much energy to support him. LOL~ wtf)

 One of their Far East Movement screen displays~

It was indeed madness to be able to catch Far East Movement as I've first fell in love with their Like A G6 song......now Imma feeling so fly man~ Currently I love their The Illest, Turn Up The Love and Live My Life songs in which they were some of the songs they performed liveeeeee. :*

Johnny Rockets & Kirin Ichiban Opening @ Urban Hall Foodcourt, Gurney Paragon

The latest US dancing restaurant has reached its shore in Penang, Malaysia! I think this could promote a healthy, fun & alive working culture~ It got me really entertained! 💃💃💃💃💃💃👍

                      Interesting dancing restaurant! Dancing to Kenny Loggins song entitled Footloose~

Proudly presenting you Johnny Rockets MALAYSIA! <3 nbsp="" p="">
Despite I read other ppl's FB comments (on poor services) on the newly opened foodcourt which houses a few restaurants inside it, IMO, I think one could give it a try. Service was not totally poor, rather it depended on which restaurants one ordered from. Some was fast & some was quite slow. Afterall, they are still very new.

Chicken Hotdog & Fries

Kid's Beef Burger & Fries

Besides that, I'm feelin' so ecstatic trying out 100% malt (press beer...no alcohol?) Kirin beer infused with Cherry Blossom. The sip on the frozen foam was so smooth! ✌
Something so so so special that I have never tried before~

Kirin beer infused with Cherry Blossom & I! Cheers~~~

Italia (Venice) 2014: Venice, Bella Floating City! ^_^

Here's a snippet of Venice, the beautiful floating city in Italy! Enjoy~

Short clip compilation using Meipai apps~
 Cheers~ ;)

It's been awhile, however it will be a great #throwback to me <3 comment-3--="" nbsp="">

Anyway, here's a small part of the itinerary on where we stayed at and where we went in Venice! :)

Be warned, Venice is all about walkingggggg in its floating city. ^_^

We are about to reach the floating cityyyy by train! Amazing view~

Frecciabianca train, Coach 2.

We've reached Venice (Venezia Santa Lucia Station) by train (from Milano Centrale Railway Station, Milan). 

Walked northwards to Guglie or the exit (just follow the crowds cause it is just around the corner. very very nearby~) and take Arancio blue line waterbus to Rialto Station (also known as Grand Canal area).

Venezia tourism Polizia :D

At the port before crossing over to the Grand Canal.

The Venezia view from the other side.

Saw the dark gloomy clouds coming our way?

The major mode of transportation in Venezia: Waterbus

Then we headed towards to search for our hotel for check-in. I guess there is no other mode or transportation when you're in the Venice area, other than by foot (walking). :P

We stayed in Hotel Antica Locanda Al Gambero for 2 nights. Hotel costed us, for the 3 ppl were GBP282 with a free breakfast for each of us and an unlimited wifi. I loved it. It felt and looked like a 4 star (****) hotel to me, though, the downside is just that, one gotta climb the steep steps to get to the allocated room. ;)

We've reached our Hotel~

Our Room 205 @ Hotel Antica Locanda Al Gambero

The bathroom @ Hotel Antica Locanda Al Gambero

Our tidbits from Venezia :D

Our provided breakfast at the Hotel. Simple yet sophisticated strawberry pie that were provided too on the buffet spread. Looks so classy I tell you!

Spectacular view with glistening water & gondolas!

 The view & I *peace*

The Venezia city area.

Rialto Bridge @ the Grand Canal 

 The Grand Canal overlooking the port area and gondola & gondolier! 

Bridge of Sigh
There are 2 sides to the story (one for the prisoners & one for lovers) wink emoticon
It is believed that the view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge name, given by Lord Byron as a translation from the Italian "Ponte dei sospiri" in the 19th century, comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their prisoner cells.

A local legend says that lovers will be granted eternal love and bliss if they kiss on a gondola at sunset under the Bridge of Sighs as the bells of St Mark's Campanile toll. So so so soooo....lo-man-tic. grin emoticon

Our gondolier during our gondola ride ...macho anot? ;)

 Me at Piazza San Marco or also known as St. Mark's Square.

 The gondolas at the port.

Jewelries made of glasses, Venezia's specialties~ 

Remarkable view from the top, Campanile @ St Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco)

 The traditional Venetian dresses & masks during Carnival of Venice. One can't consider themselves as one who has visited Venice if they didn't drop by to have a great good look at the world famous for its traditional masks. hehe~

Venetian masks can be made of leather, porcelain or using the original glass technique.

 The view at one of the alley. Woahhhh, so narrow!

Another tidbit that we tried tasting, Rose wine...quite cheap as in it was around Euro 4 to 6. Bought from a nearby mini market.

The food we sampled by the pier @ Grand Canal. It was the most delicious in Venice after we have tried at a few other restaurants. With Seafood Spaghetti and Salami Pizza, but they were quite on the high end. We suspected that because it was the the common area, touristy Venezia, and not hiding at some alley whereby not much people would frequent. Luckily, they were so tasty. Therefore, we had not much bad thing to comment on. :D

Catchy warning sign to you not to buy fake goods (Fake goods could kill), Venice, Italy

                                            

Therefore I would like to end this blog with a pic on the carnival mask & I. hehe~ 

Hope u guys enjoyed the pictures and do visit Venice one day as it is truly worth to visit before it sinks in the far far far future.
