Congratulations @vvens! You’re our this week’s winner for Opus Jay 2013 World Tour Blogging Contest! Check out for our email. :P

OMG right! I never thought I would have the luck to win the tickets again for this round and I’m all excited for it again! Read my winning entry here… Envious? Wanna win the tickets too? Then you might need to hurry up for the on-going blogging contest hosted by KL Sogo.

Here‘s the link to more information :) Besides, there are two more contests that allows you to win concert tickets to see Jay Chou too – Spend & Win and Dine & Win Promotions! Make sure you miss none of them k! :D :D

Here’s the official trailer of Jay Chou’s upcoming movie, which is directed by he himself! The movie will soon be on theaters and the Asia Superstar will too, come to Malaysia on this July for the movie’s promotion! Wanna know more about the movie updates? Stay tuned! :D

Just got back from Penang and heading to Kota Kinabalu in less than 60 hours. And here’s a random shot I had to remind you guys I’m still alive and doing fine. Hmmmmn.. That is not a portrait beside me, it was just a beautiful sunset scene… framed. And I hated how sweet was the cotton candy. Pfft.

The girls left.. and a few more to go :( I don’t know how is it going to be like without having all your voices around me during the working hours. I missed you and will be missing you girls :(( Please do come back and visit me okayyyyy!

And thankfully I had 4 boxes of expired films to create this polaroid spam below ;p Haha. Some films produced lighter coloured images but some were okay. So now you know you can still use the expired ones. Don’t waste!

And on a side note, I’ll be leaving to Penang today till next Monday. Will be missing out Siwon’s appearance in KL again for the weekend :(( Then proceeding to Sabah again on the following Thursday to Monday again so I assume the blog will be dead for awhile. Sigh…

Pictures above are taken from KL Sogo Facebook Fanpage.

And the crowd today was really crazy and it was really impressive. Never in my dream that I would imagine that people in Malaysia would queue up overnight just for Jay. I can’t bring myself to do that either even if I’ve claimed myself to be a superfan of his. I can’t stay overnight for such a queue in KL.

But I was there today. I was there 2 hours ahead of the launch and the crowd was already there. The launch started at 11am. Lucky I wasn’t there for the tickets but instead I was there for a quick meet up and kaypo session. Also, to help Cindy to get her tickets. We intended to queue but I gave up after 30 minutes because a friend of mine offered to help me get the tickets at the normal rate. We agreed immediately seeing that he was queueing at the top 10 of the express lane.

He was there since 11pm last night. A freaking 12 hours’ queue. Gosh. And thankfully for him, Cindy has got the seats she wanted without going through the hours of queue :)

After the ticket purchase, Cindy was entitled for a game and a lucky draw. Though she didn’t make it to win anything but it was fun. I wondered if she will be the lucky Grand Prize Winner which is to be announced at 7pm later. Hahaha. Let’s keep our fingers crossed! :D

The limited official merchandise! :D :D :D Got the folder by being the first 2,000 purchaser and the poster by just liking Kl Sogo Facebook Fanpage. Thank you! :D

And Cindy’s tickets… I can’t wait to have mine in hands… Muahaha.

Just a silly shoot a took beside the bunting placed at the carpark area before leaving. Lol. Have you guys got your tickets? If yes, which date and zone did you buy? :D :D :D

For week one, it has to be a picture with the element of Lee Hom, Music and Getha, hence the picture on the left. I won the consolation prize of a Getha Transforme 360 pillow. I gave it to my grandma and she loves it <3 So, I tried again on week two. It was themed, Camwhore anything with Lee Hom. And I submitted a picture of me, imitating one of his signature pose / cover album as shown on the right.

And I've won the Grand Prize!!!!! I could not believe it! I thought another friend of mine would have won it. Luiz and Cindy did a better job than I actually. But I've won! I was overwhelmed! The prize does not only consist 2 tickets to the concert on the 30th March at Genting, but also a one night stay at Genting! Woots!!!!

Thank you Churp Churp and Getha Bedding! Thank you for telling me that my luck isn’t used up yet! Hahahahaha. I’m gonna enjoy myself at the concert and it’s gonna be the first concert I attend at Genting’s Arena of Stars. I’m very excited about it! :D

Btw, my hair is getting longer already. Should I leave it long and chop it off again? I like both and I can’t decide. Hmmn. Comments please!

My new gadgets: iPad Mini and a powerbank. I’m now fully connected and charged wherever I go. Hmmmn…. By the way, guess who got promoted after three and a half years! :D

Here’s a back-dated post of my colleague’s wedding which made me flew all the way to Sabah for her wedding. It wasn’t my fault for updating this so so so late but the bride’s! Hahaha. I’ve gotten the pictures from her, just today! So technically, I’m still quite an efficient person. I just need to have those memories refreshed in mind again to be blogging about this! Hahaha.

And so a few of us flew over to Sabah for the morning and night wedding ceremony. The theme was fuchsia for the girls and apparently, wedding ceremonies in Sabah can be quite different from us in KL. From what I was told, newly weds actually have to buy space and place their wedding announcement or advertisement on their local newspapers. Hahaha.

#01 This was my friend’s version. I felt really funny about it and I will never do that. Hahahaha.

#02 Here’s the bride and I :) We both are quite swollen because this picture was taken approximately at 6 in the morning. Haha.

#03 I was feeling stone the whole day due to the lack of sleep abroad. My derp moment was caught on camera too.

#04 All the girls and the bride. I now feel bad because I could not recall all of their names already. And this picture was taken right before the groom and the guys came to crash the gate.

#05 Another shoot of the girls which I never knew existed because I was already preparing the games in the hotel (yes, the bride was being picked and games were played in the hotel, as early as 7am). Pfft. I only found out about this picture 3 months later. Nevertheless, it’s a nice picture.

#06 The arrival of the groom, at the entrance of the hotel, Sixty3 which was located strategically in Gaya Street of Kota Kinabalu. Groom needs to be “gaya” too. Haha.

#07 The guys’ colour code was white but we thought they should have a hint of fuchsia too ;)

#08 Because the whole thing took place in a hotel of 5 floors, we made things different. We created games of 4 levels, going accordingly to the level of floors where every 2 girls were stationed in each floor for different challenges and game. That was always because we could not do everything in the hotel lobby. And the first challenge was to do the “Gangnam Style” move. Gosh! Did you know that during that period of time, most weddings had “Gangnam Style” element whether in games or videos? It was…. scary.

#09 The next obstacle was located at level 1 and the guys had to sing this morning song while…

#10 They brush their teeth with wasabi paste :) :) :) My favourite! Hahahaha. And because the guys refused to do as we said, we made noises. And because they made noises, we got scolded from the hotel guest. The hotel levels are not totally covered by floors, it looks like a mall where the centre of the hotel is an open area. I dont know how to explain this exactly but noises from the first floor can actually be heard from the top. Complains and scoldings didn’t stop coming until we finished the whole session. OMG. It was quite a horrible thing to do in the hotel but we didn’t have another option. Sorry if you were one of the guests T_T

#11 Anyways, the next game played was throwing the dice for a punishment. So technically, the guys will receive punishments on whichever result the dice landed with. Haha. The dice wasn’t made by any of us, but it was bought by the bride earlier during her trip in China. We just get to finally make use of it :D

#12 Then we received our first red packet in Renminbi. The China’s currency. We weren’t very pleased with the amount. Still headed for the next game.

#13 It was me and the bride’s cousin who were stalled for the challenge at level 5. The guys had to lick a heart shape on the chocolate piece with their tongues without getting the plastic poked through. It was difficult and gross. Lol.

#14 This was me, explaining about the game.

#15 And this was me, rushing the guys to play the game before the time given ends.

#16 This was me, making them dance “Gangnam Style” again because they failed the chocolate challenge. Pfft.

#17 Here’s the last challenge for the guys. They were supposed to collect lipstick stains from the hotel guests but we have already pissed them off, so we made the guys collect their own lipstick stains instead.

#18 That was Melissa, inspecting their stains. Haha.

#19 And that was Melissa again, looking really happy when she opened the second red packet in US Dollars! :D :D

#20 After that, we allowed them to crash the room that belonged to the bride. But it was a trap! Bride wasn’t there and they had to give another red packet to get her exact location. Hahaha.

#21 The third one was given in Malaysia Ringgit and the amount was not too bad either.

#22 So, we then gave him 3 room keys which one of them was real. He found that room, the last. And when he did, he had to make a confession to his lovely bride in Hakka. Haha. It sounded really funny then.

#23 Finally, they met! <3

#24 If you have to know about their love stories, the groom is my friend’s first love since they were really young. They tied the knot few years back without a ceremony and now they are blessed with a cute little baby daughter <3 And they are the far most easy-going couples I've ever met!

#25 The couple and the bride’s parents who are really down to earth too.

#26 The couple and the worn out girls. At least I was.

#27 <3

#28 A group picture with the guys too. I didn’t have a very good relationship with few of the guys among. Not even a relationship because I knew and met them for only 2 days. I find them really annoying and really unsporting. Pfft. They story is damn long but I might have story them to you already, if you know me well enough. Pfft to the max.

#29 After the gate crashing event, we all headed to a Buddhist centre. It was also my first time being in such place for a wedding. It was a long ceremony and I couldn’t remember much from the event because I was really sleepy after the games already but I remember eating, taking this picture about and being pissed off by the guys.

#30 I don’t remember taking this picture actually. Hahaha. The bride claimed to be very tired to smile in these pictures too. Haha.

#31 And after that, we headed to the groom’s house for the leftover ceremonies that involved tea and red packets. Hahaha. The girls and I did nothing but wandered in the house. This is my favourite picture taken throughout the whole day anyway – Rachel, Shyen, Melissa and myself.

#32 Plus the groom, Felix.

#33 Finally some genuine smiles caught in camera after a tiring day, while seeing polaroids of the day.

#34 Haha! Here’s a funny picture taken the flower tossing event. The flower flew out of the bouquet while tossing and none of the girls (me included) bothered to fetch it because we were busy blocking the direct sunlight to our eyes with our hands already. Haha. The bride had to toss it three times until the sister of the groom fetched it. And that was the end of the day ceremony.

We all headed back to the hotel and slept dead for a few hours before we headed out again for the night ceremony. Ahhh. During the night, we assisted the couples by having the guests seated. It was also something different because the couple and their family had to greet each and every guest before the dinner. It is a must in the state it seems. That’s one tiring tradition and I bet the couple didn’t know all of the guests ;p

#35 During the night, I was pissed again by the guys. Nothing much was remembered then, and this was the only picture taken. And on the next day, we had a half day trip to Sapi Island as blogged here :)

There’s one more wedding to blog about but not until I’ve gotten the pictures from the bride again. Hahaha, these brides really need to be more efficient eh…

Here’s some sneak peek of the really sweet-looking decor and stuff :)

These are my favourite picks of the non-human shoots too.

I hope the newly-weds like the photo I took for them and I’m looking forward to take more pictures like these! What do you guys think? Did I do ok for my first attempt? :) :)

The company made a very simple and straightforward music videos of how 3 little boys grew up achieving their dreams via different paths. The three little boys were 周杰倫 Jay Chou, 林義傑 Kevin Lin – a marathon runner and 郎朗 Lang Lang – a pianist. The video is fine with one very very very mouth-watering scene at 1:48. Watch on and drooooool….

Anyways, here’s the translated lyrics by me! :D

Come on go go go讓夢重新啟動
不同的汗水流著那不同的夢
當你還在繼續　我當然也不能夠說放棄
因為堅持　所以我們越要相信

你說你的奔跑總是想要超越自己
我說我的音樂努力想要跨越時代
把所有的失敗挫折全部拋在腦後
我即將看見世界的地圖從你腳下過
慢慢的睜開慢慢的睜開仰望著天空就算努力也許孤獨
把心都打開把心都打開如果那機會降臨你能夠追的上嗎
微笑吧　就算不斷失敗
站起來　再重來　把脆弱推開
信心在腦海別讓靈魂空白
在現在　在未來　我為你喝采

Come on, go go go, let the dream begin anew
Different sweats flow towards different dreams
I of course can’t give up too while you are working on your dream
Because we’re determined, so we believe even more

You say you run to overcome yourself
I say my music is to travel across time
Toss all the defeat and hurt behind heads
I almost seeing the map of the world beneath your feet
Open slowly, open slowly…
Looking at the sky, it may be lonely but it’s hard work
Open your heart, open your heart…
If the opportunity comes, will you be able to catch it?

Smile even if you fail over and over again
Stand up, restart and fight agaisnt your weakness
Confidence is in your mind, don’t let the spirit be gone
I will cheer for you whether now or in the future.
