Post BSB

I know its almost 3 weeks ago since the Backstreet boys concert and I haven’t really said anything about it. I still can’t believe I went to their concert and to me I am satisfied. They are not the best singers in the world but as a group I feel that they are hot! :P

The Opening Act – Madcon

Their Entrance……wah..everyone screamed their lungs out!

I grabbed this off someone who posted in on Youtube because the I didn’t take any video of the opening.

The rest are shots of the concert (in no particular order). The boys also had solo clips featuring them in hit movies like fast and furious(Howie), Enchanter(Brian), Matrix(Nick), Fight Club(AJ)

This too was grabbed on Youtube, I’m sure this person sat really close. We sat not too far from the stage(as you can see from the picture below) as well but obviously not as close as this person taking the video.

My childhood dream…

When I was 11-12 years old, I used to go GAGA over Backstreet Boys. You could as my mom about how crazy I was over them. I know some of you will think I’m lame for even listening to them, but I don’t care. They are good and even after 16 years, they are still surviving (although one of the member has already left).

Tomorrow and finally at 23 years of age, I’ll be going to see them live for the very first time! I am so excited!!!! Although I have matured and boy bands no longer give me the giggles, I still think they are one of the good ones. I’ve realise that most boybands have band members who are just there to look good (they don’t take the any lead in singing). Backstreet boys is one of them who you can see that each of them can actually sing and that they have their own distinct voice. AJ with his deep husky voice, Brian is the lead, Nick with his very distinct that-is-definitely-nicks voice, Howie just melts your heart when he sings (plus that eyes!), Kevin (although he has left for broadway) with his very deep sexy voice!….

I can’t wait to see them!!! I’m grateful to Thong and Evon to accompany with me, however I wish Lenzja, Era, Cynthia, Janu, Carmen…..were with me!!! These are the very people who’d go gaga over this too!

Preview of Dubai

I have just return from city where the tallest building in the world is (or should I say will be as it is not really completed yet). Left the city of Newcastle on the 10th morning and arrived there at about 2200hrs local time. Was instantly greeted by the HEAT (I know I shouldn’t be complaining since I’ve lived in malaysia for 20 years of my life), from a temperature of an average of 14-15 degrees celsius to a shocking 40 degrees was hard to adjust. From chilly winds to warm gust of air made me sweat instantly!

Took the taxi to my sister’s place and on the way, passed by tall buildings right and left! It is definitely a modern city. The ride to my sister’s took less than half and hour and seeing my sister after 2 years made me realise how much I miss her!

Didn’t really do much while I was there. Much as in safari tours and more of the touristy stuff. However, I visited the Palm Jumeirah (the palm looking housing estate), the Burj Al Arab, Burj Dubai, Mall of Emirates, and other shopping complexes. All I can say is that Dubai has loads of shopping complex. I guess it is a shopping paradise, HOWEVER…it is shopping paradise for the RICH!! Everything in Dubai is so expensive. A packet of 500g nuts cost DHS60 = RM 60 = ~ GBP10. So if you get my drift, IT IS very EXPENSIVE!!! The same top that I bought here for GBP15 cost about GBP 20 pounds. CRAZY right?

I guess my main purpose visiting Dubai was to visit my sister’s family. My niece and nephew have grown so much and I already miss them! Jia Wen has is now into pink and everything princess, talks like a grown up! Jia Xiang is a cheeky boy and being a boy loves Cars and Ultraman!! Adorable to the max although sometime they do have their moments!

Anyway, here are the photos taken, Enjoy!! (warning : photo overload)

A very delayed post – North East Cluster Summer School

Held on a bank holiday weekend of the 28th August- 31st of August, the first cluster summer school in England was experienced. So glad to be able to make it and although it being held for the first time, IT WAS A SUCCESS! There were a total of more than 70 people who attended (including day visitors and such) and the atmosphere was lovely! The venue was amazing and I foresee future summer schools being held there again!

I was helping out with the Junior Youth group and can say that I was very hesitant at the first place. Not being very experienced with the age group and doing it in a different country kinda scared me (I know I shouldn’t). But it turned out to be fun and seeing kids between the age of 10-14 being all mature and saying things that makes you go “when I was that age, all I talked about was boy        bands and Barbie dolls!”. Things like peer pressure, media influences, drugs and alcohol were discussed and how things like these affect us. The kids discussed all these very maturely and it gave me insight on how kids think and react to such influences.  It really makes you realise the potential of a child and what it can become with the proper education and guidance.

Overall the Cluster Summer School was a great experience and it definitely brought the cluster closer as a unit working together! Here are some of the photos of one the social nights and I hope that you guys will enjoy them!!
