Planned to ski on Mount Buller and watch penguins at Penguin Parade before flying off to Melbourne. All my plans got canceled! First, it was because of the price tags (ski jacket and goggles) and that nobody wants to go watch penguins with me! I know ski jacket and everything can be rented on the mountain but thinking of wearing them after thousands unknown people have put them on, I will give a pass. No money to buy, simply don't ski.

Basically my vacation in Melbourne was casual and simple, without an itinerary. Sometimes my BFF cooked for me or we would just have meals in a random restaurant (mostly Malaysian ones since we hungered for it so in Melbourne).

I was pretty gloom that I didn't get the chance to watch real penguins, and by that I meant wild penguins. So when  my BFF said we can watch penguins at St. Kilda Beach, I didn't believe him in the first place. It's not written in the net! All said must go Penguin Parade to watch penguins!






Here we are! Do enjoy the photos!










Have I told you the super crazy strong wind? My legs literally lifted up due to the strong wind.

Where are you penguins!

Got bitch slapped by sand. I looked at BFF with a shocked face, he told me he got slapped by sand too. My younger sister was safe as she walked behind us. Blame it on the strong wind!

Well, am taking a break from blogging and flying off with another two of my friends this coming Saturday. I was down to gastric and headache since a week ago due to super busy schedule. Differently from my previous vacations, I have that little worries inside me as this time is their first time flying to another country. Thankfully that I'm not flying alone this time, like I did when flying to Melbourne. Wish me luck!

See you guys very soon, xoxo.

Can't believe it's over now. I had so much fun with my Party Rock gang and blogger mates yesterday!

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


in their special room backstage.  (Kaboom!)


and we



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!


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?"


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.


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!

JJ came down from the stage and join the crowd!

JJ with his groove!

See how the crowd crazy for them?

All calling for Taio Cruz! He brings some hit songs and also new songs of his upcoming album expecting to be released end of 2011! So, mark it on your calendar, put a big 'X' on every date from November to December, so you should have 61 'X's.

I was 'K' from behind by this giant ball.

Taio Cruz came out again with his SUPER HIT SONG - Dynamite!

 The Encore part is expected. Before Taio Cruz, we were told that this thing (shown below) are fire crackers or something and we are warned to be careful during the final acts.

Next time you see this stay away from it.

A toast to Arthur!

I missed the Merdeka Firework show, so this is it!

Ean!

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!!
