Best 2010 Memories!

Okay, so 2010 is ending and 2011 is really happening anytime soon.

How do I feel?
Hurm, there are ups and downs in my life along 2010.
But I have to admit it's one of the most exciting, fantastic years of my life!
Where should I start?

I remember starting off this blog in late 2009.
*smile*
It was just for fun, not the kind of blogs where I write the happenings of my life all the time.
I just wanted to share my views of the world, what I like and loathe.
And up until this minute I'm still glad I started blogging.

There were two best things happened in 2010.
First, I visited London and Paris.
I know I only wrote first part of the trip and kept procrastinating the other parts but I promise, one sweet day I'll post pictures of the two amazing cities in the world!
London is a shopping heaven and people are so warm and friendly and I so wanna live there!
I wanna go to the numerous museums every week, stroll along Oxford Street every other day and picnic at Hyde Park, just sitting there reading good novels all day throughout summer!
Oh God, what I would give for that to come true!
And Eiffel Tower, Paris? It's Eiffel Tower darlings! It's one of the 'must-go-places' before you die!
I would want to visit Paris again.
Thanks to Air Asia, it doesn't seem too impossible now!
Anyway, the next best thing happened in my year 2010 must absolutely be meeting Adam Lambert!
Oh yes honey and it was the best five minutes of my life!
I got lucky during his Glamnation Tour on the 14th Oct 2010 at Bukit Jalil where I met him backstage before his phenomenal concert started.
I am a huge fan of him and meeting him was not even in my wish list just because I thought it's never gonna happen!
It was a-mah-zing!
Plus, I didn't only meet him, I also won an autographed Glambox!
Schweeet!

*that's me in my purple heels next to Adam!*
*i looked bloated. whatever*
*For Your Entertainment CD, music videos VCD, remixes & a glam mouse pad!*

2010 will also be most memorable because I turn 25 this year.
God, my age is a quarter century. Okay let's not go into details about my age.
hahahaha
Another reason 2010 is a good year is because of the great movies all year long.
Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Parnassus (okay, not so great but Heath Ledger over-the-Everest-top-amazed me!), Nine, Alice in Wonderland, Clash of the Titans, Shutter Island, Prince of Persia, Inception, Takers (Paul Walker!!), Toy Story 3, Rapunzel...
I haven't watched Narnia and The Tourist, by the way.
Will probably do early next year ;)

What else huh? Hurmmm...
Oh I bought my first smartphone, a Blackberry Curve which has been fantastic so far! A reason I have a Twitter account now.
And oh, I bought my first Marc Jacobs!!! *pengsan*
I went to Penang twice and Cameron Highlands thrice this year for holidays. My parents just love CH too much.
I have developed some sort of romance feeling with Chuck Bass. Darn those salmon suit he's wearing! He looked so good in it!
My darling friend Nashima got married. I cried. Her wedding was my wedding of the year ;)
I dreamed of Ian Somerhalder every night. Well, almost every night. But none in those dreams he bites my neck or sucks my blood. I prefer him doing so. muahaha
I bought almost ten pairs of shoes.
And one thing I am so glad happened this year would be passing all my M.Ed subjects. The final semester was the toughest!
*humongous smile*

So what have I not achieved this year?
Love.
Not wanting to be mushy here but it's nice to have someone you're excited to have dinner with or watch movies together. Or just knowing you're loved.
Well, good things are worth waiting for.
=)

This year there's less drama, just more great times with my family and friends.
My nephew is getting smarter these days. He's getting into pre-school next year. Oh please don't grow too fast sweetheart!
I also spend too much 'bonding' times with my friends -karaoke, steamboat, road trip, lepak melepak, gossiping, shopping!

I have a great, fantastic, amazing and wonderful 2010!
I am not yet a millionaire but I am forever grateful.
I thank Allah for everything, for leading the way for me. For all the wonderfull-ness around me. For the blessings HE gives my family and friends. For the strentghs I have in me to go through every fear, worry and sadness. For the rezeki HE showers my family. For my tears and laughters in becoming a better person.
All praises to Allah.

So come quick 2011!
I have nothing to be worried of but to live life to the fullest!
Happy new year everyone!
May you have a blast!
Leave the past behind and look forward for great things to happen!
See you next year!
Cheers!
=)

The Aftermath

This post-concert post (eh?) is gonna be short, sweet and simple.
I hope.

I had so much fun that day, from the time I arrived to the last minute of the moment.
Met new fabulous, non-judgmental people and meeting Adam was definitely the highlight.
My partner in crime, Aimi, said she went to Usher's concert few months back and Adam was much better, vocal and performance wise.
On top of that, there was nothing gay about Adam's concert. No kissing, crotch grabbing or even scandalous dance moves. He's a professional. He promised and signed a 'deal' and kept his words.
I hope people won't judge him anymore but to agree that he's talented and he's all about his talents.

Adding to that, remember I mentioned Iqwal (not Iqwan!), the first opening act who sang Jay Sean's 'Down'?
Well, thanx to the wonder of Google, he's actually one amazing singer!
Won few international awards already.
Read more about him, here.

So there you have it, all about the one and only Adam Lambert.
Some people adore him, some people said he's a disgrace.
Just because he has been honest all this while by admitting he's gay.
So now it's wrong to be honest?
What are you trying to imply here by protesting his concert?
Believe me, people don't become gay just by watching a concert or become friends with gays.
What are we teaching our children?
To discriminate?
Instead of explaining to them the rights and wrongs?
Well, good job then. You must be proud of yourself.

At the beginning of his concert, Adam said his concert is all about love.
Can't we just leave it there?

*still waiting for meet&greet pictures & autographed Glambox from Sony Music MY! =)*
*btw, those who missed the concert, you can watch videos posted by the fans on YouTube. go quick and kick yourself for missing the amazing show!*

if i had you, honey

I still woke up this morning with a hangover.

Sue me.

hahaha

Okay so this is the while-concert post.
We walked in at around 7pm, I was having the time of the month, so we went straight to into the stadium and found our seats.
BTW, there's a decent prayer room in the stadium, so not to worry on where to perform your Maghrib prayers.
The first opening act was Iqwan, whom I have no idea who he is but according to the MC, he won several awards international. I'll Google him later. He dressed similarly like Adam, guess everyone is affected by Mr. Lambert himself. He sang Jay Sean's 'Down' and it was not so bad! Impressive for someone I've never heard about.
Next up was Daniel Lee, who came as the first runner-up in Malaysian Idol. He belted out Bon Jovi's 'It's My Life' and it was definitely a great start for the concert! The whole stadium sang along!

*iqwal. pic courtesy of Sony Music MY*

*daniel lee*

*big crowd and humongous Digi balloons!*

*my partner in crime, Aimi!!!*

*our Glambert heels*

Adam only came out at 9pm. We heard there was a protest going on outside the stadium by PAS. So most probably Adam waited for them to step back before he started the show. I'm not gonna comment on the protest because it's a waste of energy and these people should actually go home and spend time with their family. Or check out bars and pubs instead, not a concert where there's no alcohol served or people kissing. Seriously.

Now back to Adam, the show-stopper started off the show with 'Voodoo', followed by 'For Your Entertainment'. It was amazing!! I screamed at the top of my lungs! The whole stadium sang and danced along. Followed with other fabulous songs from his album including 'Sleepwalker', 'Aftermath', 'Whataya Want From Me', 'Strut', 'Fever', 'Soaked', 'Music Again', 'If I Had You', 'Sure Fire Winners', '20th Century Boy' and 'Mad World'. Did I miss any song??

*singing 'Voodoo'. sorry for the low quality of my camera. hehe*

Prior to the concert, before buying the tix, I actually Googled about his last concerts and I stumbled upon a page from US where a fan asked whether he/she should go to Adam' concert. Another fan commented that Adam's concert is worth going because he actually sounds better live. I definitely have to agree. His songs sounded million times better when he sang live that night! He sang 'Mad World' in an upbeat version and it was the best version I've ever heard from anyone!

It was thrilling! People were screaming and jumping and dancing! He stopped singing at one time and introduced his bands and dancers. The moment he introduced Tommy, whom he's contoversially kissed on stage, everybody was shouting 'Kiss! Kiss! Kiss' and Adam & Tommy looked at each other and I could tell everyone was holding their breath, wondering if they'd kiss. Of course they didn't! Adam signed a 'deal', remember? But the teasing was more than enough for us!

I'm gonna let you feast your eyes now.
These pictures are taken from Sony Music Malaysia Facebook page. Better quality!
Enjoy!


He's hot! The whole stadium could feel the burning temperature from his energy!
Oh my I can't stop talking about his show.
To wrap up the amazaing experience, I would say it has been one of the greatest nights of my life! I'm not really a concert-goer but if Adam comes back, I'd definitely grab the tickets fast! He has the best live vocal, top showmanship and amazing personality!
He's the showstopper baby!

*okay, breathe in, breathe out*

maybe it's time for miracles...

It's gonna be a long multiple posts on Adam Lambert, everyone.

Please bear with me.
I still have hangover from his Glamnation Tour last night.
hahahaha

Seriously, I had the time of my life!
He's one talented entertainer, people and no I am not biased.
Like I said before, I first read about him coming to Malaysia sometime in July and I was skeptical about it, knowing the government.
After everything has been confirmed, the tickets began to sell, I started planning.
Previously I was supposed to have my last class for my Statistics, together with quizzes.
I looked at K.Mirs and almost cried of disappointment.
Then K.Mirs suggested one brilliant idea, to do the quiz early out of 'emergency' and I smiled again.
I went to buy the tickets and as I walked out from Rock Corner in Subang Parade, I swear I had the biggest sheepish grin on my face!
And then in the next class, guess what? My lecturer would replace our 14th class to Saturday 9th. I agreed right away, happily.

I first planned to tag my baby sis, Amy, along because nobody wants to join me!
*and now zurs regretted not going*
On a condition: I've to pay half of Amy's tix if I want to drag her. I could not not agree.
Just a few days after Aimi contacted me through Facebook, asking if I'm going because she's no partner in crime as well.
Well, the rest is history darling.

*she's adorable!*

*with Fahsya. what a surprise to meet her there! she won the tickets! lucky girl!*

We reached Stadium Putra really early, around 5pm.
People were already lining up but because our tix are seated, we have nothing to rush about.
There's Digi booth, the sponsor and Sony Music which is Adam's record label.
Sony Music had a contest going on which was called 'Glamberts Hall of Fame' where your pictures were taken and Adam self-picked five winners.
The winners were to meet Adam backstage.
Now, hold your breathe darlings.
Because I was one of the winners!!!
I took the picture for fun, thinking "what the heck, I'm here with my 4-inches studded heels, might as well I'd just go for it".
I was eating A&W nuggets when they called me and I ran (in my 4-inches studded heels) to the booth to get the backstage pass.
I had to fill up a form and boy my fingers were shaking of excitement!


*the backstage pass*


*the winners*
*the aunty in the middle is 50 years old! she came with her hubby and daughter all the way from penang, all dressed up! how cool is that?!*

We had a loooong walk heading backstage but it was so worth it!
He's such a nice, warm person. Smiling and talking non-stop, he actually asked us questions when we have like, thousands of questions to ask him.
He said stuff like, "You all looked great! Congratulations!", "Thank you so much for coming, hope you'll enjoy my show" and the best part was "Wow nice shoes!" at the same time pointing to my heels.
He's just the sweetest!
Darn it I feel like stuffing him in my handbag and run!
He's taller and thinner than I thought and he smells good! Oh yes, I was that close with him I could smell him!
hahahaha
It was only for 5mins but still, others would probably kill for that 5mins.
We weren't allowed to take personal pics or ask for autographs.
Sony Music MY will email us the pics and call us for Adam's Glambox autographed CD.
Did I mention I had the time of my life?

Okay so this is basically a pre-concert post.
We're gonna have while- and post-concert posts as well.
=D

All we need in this world is some LOVE

It's tonight!
I am so darn blardy excited!
Still can't believe I'm going to watch Mr. Lambert himself in Malaysia!

Well, to be honest, as part as not believing I got tickets to his show, I actually can't believe the part that he's HERE.
I mean, when I first heard he's coming some time in July, I was contemplating. I was like "He wouldn't get through. People would protest."
Because he's gay.
And yes there will be a protest in front of the stadium tonight, I read that somewhere on online news.
Surprise surprise!
That's so typical.
These people stated that Adam "promotes gay lifestyle".
Seriously?
On a more serious note, SERIOUSLY??
Adam is civilized enough to sign a contract to agree to tone down his antics, no kissing or touching his dick.
I wonder if he's allowed to wear eyeliner.
Duhh!
I am aware that homosexuality is forbidden in Islam but I have gay friends and they're among the nicest people I've met.
Some of them, even though they admit they have feelings for other men, they never leave solat.
Asking God for forgiveness, probably.
And some of my 'real' Muslim guy friends skip Friday prayers or fast.

I just hate the hypocrisy these people have you know.
Propaganda.
Making things big out of nothing.
Come on, Adam comes, sings and flies to another country in three or four days.
How can he be "promoting gay lifestyle"?
He's a singer and none of his songs talks about being gay.

I listen to Adam Lambert.
I also listen to Maher Zain.
I know every word to Adam's song 'Whataya Want From Me'.
I also know every word to Maher's 'For The Rest of My Life'.
So what does that make me?

Work It Baby!

How can I not like him?!

Everything on him just looks perfect!
The red shoes, chains, gloves, studded jacket, vest, hair..
And that hot pose!

Seriously, how did I fall for this guy in the first place?

He's so not my type.
He's gay.
And he wears make up!

Love is definitely blind.

-qils-

HE's a Beauty *wink*

He's voted as one of 'The Most Beautiful Singer' by Paper Magazine.
I couldn't agree more.
=)

*awarded 'Young Hollywood Award'*

Obsesi terlampau.
*mengeluh kecil*

-qils-

Adam 'likes it on top'! Haha!

OMG this cracks me up big time!
Around minute 1:24,
right after they were asked on who'll take the top bunk on the tour bus.
Watch Kris' facial expression.
PRICELESS!

And I love both Adam and Kris' hearty laughs!
=)

-qils-

Highly Hilarious

This is super hilarious!
He's got such great sense of humour.
And he looks so cute in those librarian glasses!
I totally adore him!
=)

-qils-

KRADAM Bromance!

If this is for real, they'll be like the hottest couple EVER!

Even Matt Damon & Ben Affleck are soooo last century!
Kris Allen & Adam Lambert.
They were roomates during American Idol and became closed up until they were both the finalists of the season.
And they remained as close friends.
Too close and too cute!

Watch Kris giving Adam a surprise hug from behind here.
SUPER CUTE!
I swear I went 'aawwwww'!

I've always thought Kris is, like, a so-so guy.
Like a real nice guy, a gentleman.
Not until I saw this!
He's cheeky and I think that part of him only comes out whenever he's with Adam.
So bloody cute!

OK,
as you may figure out now, I'm hooked on YouTube with Adam & Kradam.
Just to pass my time when I'm not out watching movies, karaoke, shop-xercising or eating fro-yo.
*i'm addicted to fro-yo. no thanks to k.mirs. hehe*
And I found this, where Adam talked about the first time he opened up about his sexuality to his mom. And his mom is super cool! She's adorable!
I just love him in the video during minute 2.28!
CUTENESS!

Alright, too much cuteness here.
OMG I am so obsessed it's driving myself crazy.
I'd rather watch YouTube than online shopping.
So that's just totally insane of me.
I need to get a job.
Well maybe not because if I'm teaching, I'm quite sure I can cause faintness to my students upon hearing me talking about Adam everyday.
Silap2 masing2 telinga berdarah.
Siapa nak menjawab nanti?
hahaha

I know I'm driving people around me crazy.
I know some are actually sick of hearing me babbling about Adam.
I am so deeply sorry sweeties.
Just let me enjoy these moments with Adam.
I'll get over him as soon as I've found another eye candy.
Then, we'll start over.
*wink*

-qils-

It's Getting Worse

I just changed my dekstop background setting.

At the moment Adam Lambert will greet me with a big yummy-licious grin and a wink everytime I turn my lappie on. So I guess that's a reason for me to become more addictive to my lappie these days.

And everytime I turn my lappie on, I'll be like,
"OMG! OMG! He's smiling and winking at me!"
*pengsan*
It's stupid, I know.
Like I said before, it's uncontrollable.
The fact that he's gay doesn't help as well.
More like, like I care.
Well, I don't need a reason to make myself smile, right?

*singing Whataya Want From Me*

Oh, last week Friday I went to Seri Kembangan to dine at 'Gravy Baby'.
Nice place, supposed to have live bands but only on weekends.
With K.Mirs&Boyfie, Napi, Zurs & Ima.
Then we went to a midnight karaoke session at Alamanda.
And I sang 'Whataya Want From Me' for the first time!
And I felt satisfaction after that.
haha
Too bad 'Taking Back My Love' was not on the list.
I just love that song, the beat, lyrics and everything about Enrique!
haha
And Zurs & Ima were biting their tongues trying to rap to Jay Z's 'Empire State of Mind'!
Super kelakar ok!

Anyway, feast your eyes
=)
*is it just me or you're loving the goatee, too?*
*this is soooo Elvis & James Dean! LOVE IT!*
*i don't promote smoking but he's totally smoking hot in this pic!*

Again, please please please bear with me.
*batting my fake eyelashes*

-qils-

For Your Entertainment *wink*

*pic credited to here*

Adam Lambert is in Singapore at the moment.
Not like I can go over there and watch him sing live.
Dekat tapi jauh.
hahahahahahahaha
I really adore him it's driving me crazy. And people around me as well.


*pic credited to here*

I sing 'Whataya Want From Me' all the time!
While preparing my breakfast, in shower, masa tengah jemur kain, even humming when I brush my teeth.
Totally mabuk kepayang.
Totally buang tebiat.
Please please bear with me on this one.
It's uncontrollable.

-qils-

Weird Obsession

Okay.

IamcurrentlyobsessedwithAdamLambert.
I was trying to say it out as fast as I could.

And indeed, it's a weird obsession.
I have never imagined myself drooling over gays because I really think it's weird.
But I think he's one major-sexy gay!
I have nothing against gays/lesbians, FYI. They have their own reasonings. I don't want to be judgmental because I'm not a saint. I have gay friends and I adore their brutal honesty.

AL.
OMG I'm obsessed with him.
Daaaayyyymmmm!
It's not NickCarter/ShaneFilan type of obsession you know.
Believe me when I say NickCarter was my first love and ShaneFilan was my ultimate crush.
Well, I was very very young and quite stoopid to think that these men would come over to Malaysia and then bumped into me during one of their shopping malls tours and eventually fall in love with me.
Muahahahahahahahaha!
Oh I just love those periods! I was a dreamer (still am! AL!!!). One happy dreamer. LOL!

I truly think it's great to have funny moments in your life that you can laugh your as* out everytime you think about those memories.
I mean, some people live for the day.
I don't.
I love my past and my favourite quote is, experience is always the best teacher.
Whether it is good experience or a bad one.
To be quite honest, I rarely regret things.
Because it's always my call, my choice.
And I just need to live with it. And go through it.
I went through a break-up recently which I don't really talk about at most time. Friends were shocked and asked me THE question "Who asked for it?"
Honestly, I don't really care who wanted the breakup.
Everybody has their own reasonings and whether they have the guts to spill it out or only type it over via SMS, it's still their reasonings and who am I to hold a knife against their throat just to make them talk?

GOD always has HIS reasonings too.
And I am in bliss, I believe I am.
I can now listen to the Backstreet Boys or Westlife while driving in MY car.
I can now go shopping and walk for 4 hours before going back to the first boutique without any whining.
But of course, at times, I do miss talking to someone who can just listen without having to give feedback. Or someone to back me up at any time. Or someone I can depend upon.
Anyhow, people come and go.
Life comes and goes.
But the memories stay close to heart.

Back to my obsession, I google-d his pictures and wallah!
Came out his pictures kissing another guy! (I sound like a jealous lunatic!)
Here's some of my favourite pics =)

*adorable!*I like his smile the most! That sexy cynical smirk.

Remember when I wrote HERE about me having a thing over men in suit? =))

*mabuk kepayang*

I am obsessed with million things!
Shoes, handbags, Kimora Lee Simmons, The Godfather, Carl's Jr, my car Betty, sappy songs. Among other things.
So please. Bear with me.
