My life flashed by my eyes last two Saturday night. I thought I was going to die. No seriously. ...that’s how insane the mosh was for Incubus. It was awesome.  Grew up picking up on big brother’s taste in music, and one of them was Incubus, because he was playing their music everyday from morning till evening. Hated it at first, but it slowly grew on me. Next thing you know, I Kazaa ’d them everyday after school. And that was about 10 years ago.  Then they came to KL for the first time ever in 2004, and in Sunburst 2008, and word of mouth said it was all kinds of glory. Their music has always been one that would fit all kinds of emotions, love, sad, lonely, spiritual. So I HAD to witness them live. I mean, I had their lyrics through my teeth as I was growing up. I am a huge fan. I love their songs, all not attributed to which albums because they were downloaded so I never knew which albums the songs were from until just recently when I decided to catch them live :(  ...

There are so many events going around this July – it’s insane. I’m going off tonight to the Rainforest World Music Festival , people told me to go for Urbanscapes (which apparently is suited for people like me??) so chances are I might be going for that, Incubus this 23rd July, and I swear there’s something coming this July 30 but I can’t figure out what. Just yet. Apparently, there were 10, 000 fans for last year’s MTV World Stage – though the intervals were rather tragic because of the heavy rain, a lot stayed on till the last performance which was Katy Perry. That came in a huge Banana Split. MTV World Stage is back! Thank you Celcom Xpax for sponsoring this year’s show yet again! At an awesome new place – i-City, Shah Alam. It’s gonna be a day full of discovery since I’ve never been there. Details: Venue: i-City, Shah Alam Time: 24 July 2011, (Doors open at 4:30 pm) The event will have a live broadcast on MTV SEA (Astro Channel 713) Monday, 8 August at 12 am (Malaysia ...

Being in this industry, you'd get invited to all sorts of events and parties. Alcohol-related events being one of them. The office gets the invite for it all the time, so if my time and that event's time permits I usually don't hesitate in saying yes;cause it's like a free hangout and almost all my close friends like casual drinking so what I'd do is that I'd invite them to meet up with me! :) This time's lucky invite goes to, Daren :) It was at The Palace of the Golden Horses, Mines. Huge crowd lining up to get in, the people right before us didn't manage to get in though - due to some registration complication. And we got ourselves a Johnnie Walker brooch! :) Nice. Thank you classy; Didn't wear anything fancy that night, just put on something from the wardrobe. SimonSeow and me. Went to the lounge party with Angie and KohBeng. The premier taxi initially conned Angie, so we had to call another cab for it. That whole calling and waiting on the line...

Don't you hate it when you keep chanting to yourself to 'sleep early tonight, and get a much deserved rest' when the next thing you know - bright early in the morning you are brutally harassing the snooze button for at least a good one hour to 'compensate some rest' cause you slept, say at 2am before that night. You know, 'cause the time just went by like that. Been quite occupied with a lot of stuff lately, moving being one of it. I've moved to my old place cause the current house will be returned back to it's owner this coming June, and 'cause one of the room in the current place is now vacant as well so my cousin invited me to move back in. Took about two full weekends to remove all my stuff to my current room. Was caught with some meeting during the weekend, and I actually wrote this about a place. I'm sure you can guess where I was, from this ; I'm in this evil place ; of overpriced lattes, over-caffeinated metropolitan strugglers and ma...

Last year, I attended a string of Nuffnang events. All kinds of it, the glitzy, the sweaty, the outdoorsy. Online communities though may look the coolest, at times we find it the hardest to mingle around. We’re either so hooked on our mobile phones, we don’t really know other bloggers’ online identities, or well, admittedly we’re just plain socially inept. As cliche as this may sound, I have always felt a sense of incompletion when I attend these events. I love meeting new people. I am not ‘friendly FRIENDLY’ per se, but I really appreciate good conversations, some old school coffee talk with people from all walks of life would be the best. DiGi Done Right Camp gave me just that. I get to actually talk to all these bloggers and let them, even so encouragingly ask me questions about how’s working in Nuffnang, how does it feel like to talk and mingle with the bloggers; does it feel like a job to talk to them, or do we see them as part of family. Though I’ve only been around for a yea...

I have never been on a ship before. The idea of travelling around on water never really sparked interest to me, I’m thinking what contentment could it bring? The only thing you’d be looking out is an infinite shades of blue, stretch of grey skies. Being the last minute traveller that I am (never been proud of this) I began packing only the night before. Okay, make that 3am the morning before I hop into the bus. I was also doing abit of housekeeping, clearing out emails sending out all the necessary reports, wrapping up presents. Every single time I travel to somewhere, I’m scrambling to complete everything on my to do list before I actually flew off, or ride off to somewhere. This time, was no exception. Manage to get a shut-eye for a good 20 minutes before I run off to take the cab to meet the rest. Before I start, I would like to credit some of the photos besides mine from Fresh – the official photographer! Singapore, Legend of the Seas So we reached Singapore *just* in the nick of ...

I usually hate teasers but ah what the heck, there are 3 things, I’d like to share in regards to the company trip before I roll out the official blogpost. Sara uploads photos damn slow. She will probably be doing her “fake hit me” on the arm gesture when she sees this. My secret santee was the office’s most gorgeous girl, beats the men also ok? Rina ! Also the sweetest, because she provides us a lot of housekeeping stuff in the office J But fines us after that if we don’t submit our daily report -_____- Exactly like a mother, tough love. Throughout the trip we were suppose to be a ‘guardian angel’ to someone, you know making sure the person is always around, safe or err get them... drunk :P and the person I had to guard was... MY BOSS! Hehehehe I have a whole bunch of his photos. Maybe I should do some photoshop and magic with it :P Love & peace, Jacqueline Rowena @ Jacqkie.
