Jason Mraz Live in KL

Sorry for delaying this post, I only decided to blog about Jason Mraz Live in KL after having trouble sleeping caused by gastric.

That aside, let's focus on what I'm really supposedly to be blogging about now. Jason Mraz came down to KL last Tuesday (I really wanted to stalk him at KLIA that day, but I got class) for his concert in Stadium Negara on 4th March.

Daren drove to the Stadium, with me, Shaneil & Denise tagging along. It was our first time driving there, so we got lost for abit but almost immediately found our way back after recognising the landmarks and whatnot. Reached there pretty late, RM10 for parking (I was like, WTF?! at first, then realised that I haven't paid anything for this concert just yet, so might as well) and miraculously bumped into Jenhan & Carmen as they reached there a couple of minutes later than us. So I passed to them their tickets, and bought some food, and part our own ways (different tickets).

We weren't allowed to bring in cameras to the concert - but I ignored their warn of course, and brought the camera in only to realise, about a million more cameras were flashing away! I started snapping seconds after seated!

The concert started at about 8.10pm, with Make it Mine as his opening song! Omg, everyone else was so damn excited we were (ahem, me) screaming and shrieking so loudly after 7 years of waiting! He was quite thoughtful actually, when he came on stage he asked whether everyone was there already and started the show after gazillions answered him back with screams!

He was amazing. Beyond amazing! Wait, that's an understatement. He was inexpicably good that I swear, there's even a point where I was salivating because I was wowing (literally jaw-drop) making that huge O for far too long! His voice sounded just like what we'd always hear in the radio, but better! He was funny throughout the whole concert shaking his bootey with cheesy dance moves, and even interacted with the crowd with some dance tips!

I knew he was a cool guy, but I couldn't believe he was THAT cool.




Opening Song - Make it Mine (Latest Album)

Check out the three Saxophone players, they're wearing Malaysian FC Shirt!

You have to YouTube this part! Right before Dynamo of Volition

Them waving goodbye :(

Check out his shirt!

Almost every intro for his songs were different from each and another. He even mixed some songs of Bob Marley's and Oasis' Wonderwall, how awesome is that! Oh, he played the small guitar as well - and he's freaking good.

I don't dare say which was my favourite but if you have to make me swear against his name, I would probably pick Geek in the Pink. The song's energetic and he makes us even more excited and pumped up with his rapping - goodness, that whiteboy was born to rap I tell you!

He's brilliant in bringing the crowd all hyped up and stuff, throwing out cheeky remarks and playing around with the ladies especially after countless of times asking the girls to follow his words, and was incredibly witty with his jokes!

What I was so envious the most was the part that he threw Polaroid pictures of him/ band members with the audience at that instant, and threw it away at that moment too! Argh! I was seated far enough for me not to be able to get 'em, so I was pretty dissapointed at that. Sedih. If I get that, it would probably the best concert memento ever!!!

Here's a list of the songs that he sang (not in order and that I remember):
1. Make it Mine
2. Dynamo of Volition
3. The Remedy (I Won't Worry)
4. Live High
5. Butterfly
6. Beautiful Mess
7. I'm Yours
8. Geek in the Pink
9. Lucky
10. You and I Both
11. Life is Wonderful

After Mraz, I hope India Arie comes next :)

Love,

Pulau Sapi @ Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks

Before I proceed to my write up on Pulau Sapi, let me do the duty to carefully explain to you why there are so many people talking about so many islands at the mention of the word, Sabah. Reason why I'm doing so is because whenever people visit KK City, they have very limited time in exploring most of the natural gorgeous attractions, and sometimes ended up just moving around KK City. And when one does that, people would usually end up asking, why are there so many mentions of islands when we get to experience none?  As you can see from the previous Matthew Paul map below; Sabah is situated close to top north of the Borneo Island. That said, it's a privilege to say that tons of islands are under the local towns and cities surrounding the shores of this particular part of Borneo island. From Sipitang (look out from South left), imagine yourself  "walking" from the Sipitang's shore / beach walk up slowly to Menumbuk, Kuala Penyu, Pulau Tiga, Kota Kinabalu, Tun

Pulau Mantanani // Mantanani Island

I started off my 10 day break with a day trip to Mantanani. I wanted to visit Mantanani for THE LONGEST TIME, but couldn’t get around doing so all these while, either I haven’t saved up enough or basically, just haven’t got the weekends to spare it with.   Some folks call it the mermaid island because of the dugong sightings underwater – which is seriously magical. Some folks even say you could catch a glimpse of dolphins. They’ve had photos with it, but I personally have never seen them before.  Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to share with you why this trip was important.    If you see the map above, I’ve yellow squared Mantanani Island in comparison to the journey from Kota Kinabalu. If you’re not a map kind of person, that is --- quite far. Not Sipadan (Tawau, Sandakan, Lahad Datu kind of far) but far enough to be a put off to some locals at times. Previously, you’d have to drive up north for approximately 1.5 hours, or take a bus to Kota Belud, to
