Many are thrilled with the performance of this twins brother, Soler all the way from Macau! Been hearing alot from them since years ago and today (yesterday to be exact) I finally see them performing in front of me! Check out their Myspace here.

The icing on the cake is

I GET TO MEET THEM IN PERSON!

in their special room backstage.  (Kaboom!)

P9233411

and we

HAVE AN ENJOYABLE CONVERSATION! (Ka-ka-kaboom!)

P9233410

First, my sister came to the media area and she grabbed my hands, asked if I could bring her to the backstage to meet Soler. I do not hesitate and dragged her to the backstage immediately. We are super lucky! Soler was about to get out from their room and we caught them!

P9233407

My sister was crazy about them and started to stuttered. I believe she was saying : "I love you guys so much and can can can can I I I I take a take take a picture ture ture with you?"

P9233413

They are so friendly and calmed her down. When they first saw both of us they said : I'm sure you two are sisters. LOL! Had a short chat and they agreed to take a photo with her! I took one with them too.

P9233412

The story is not end yet. So we both were happily go back to our table and showed the picture to my party rock gang. Remick and Yintse wanted to take a picture too so I brought them to the backstage again. Entered the room after permitted by the crew, Soler recognized me! I was amazed because myself have face recognition difficulties. My part rock gang then took picture with them and before Soler is going back to their hotel, they asked me why am I speaking Cantonese? I answered that most Malaysian can speak Cantonese. One of the brother explained that they are interested to know if I speak Cantonese with the family members. As usual, I told them my mom is an Indonesian and I sometimes speak either Malay, Mandarin and English with her but I speak Mandarin with my dad. I have friends that not Chinese educated so we speak English. I think they are quite impressed with our (the Malaysian) communication ability in different languages.

And so, the show continues with DJ Skeletor and our Hitz.fm crew rocking up the stage!

The aftermath.

Unexpectedly, many of my friends prefer SOLER performance than Taio Cruz's. First, Soler has better coordination in terms of harmonic singing as well as their instrument playing. Taio Cruz did rocked the stage but I believe different people different perspectives ya!

So before I end this post, raise glass and toast " To Arthur!!!!!! "

Yours truly!

It's such an honor to my friends and I to have the opportunity to attend this great event! Thanks to Guinness to bring all these talented artists from different regions together and rock hard on stage with Malaysian! Anticipating much for the next year's celebration : To Arthur!!
