IMU Convocation August 2010

Last year You Ming and I went for the free lunch IMU provided for the parents and families of the newly graduates. It wasn’t really ethical to do so though. But who cares, we need to survive, we need food to survive! =P

And this year, we did it all over again! Hahaha..

Medicine students from IMU graduated, em, not really graduated YET. They are in semester 5 now and they need to further their studies else where, other IMU campus (not really sure about that though). And so, they are “graduating” from IMU.

You Ming and Jason told me about the free buffet lunch that IMU was providing to all those who attended the ceremony.

But we couldn’t care much, it’s a weekend in Bukit Jalil with nothing to eat here! It’s a super dead town here especially during weekends. So Ming and I decided to go there and enjoy our lunch!

The food was almost finished when we reached there and there were not enough of plates provided.. Haha, I know, eating free food and yet I still wanna complain =.=

You Ming, looking very contented with the lunch.

Me, looking super excited with the buffet lunch!

I asked Min Pei to tag along as well. He was here celebrating Kelly’s birthday last night. =)

My plate was over-filled with too much food!!!

It was nice for the 3 of us to sit by the entrance of IMU, chatting non-stop on a sunny day, enjoying the food. Nice. =)

We also spotted a middle-aged guy who looks 94.35% alike as Aik Xiang!!!

Aik Xiang, I think you will look exactly like him after 10 years. =P

Min Pei and I then went for second round of lunch with my sistasss at the library in IMU.

When we were about to leave, there were many bouquets of flower being left behind in the atrium.

The flowers were all so nice and sweet. The best thing of all, there wasn’t anyone there!

We started to grab one for each of us and started to snap photos! Hahaa, the “crazy about taking photos” genes just run in our blood. =P

Pre-graduation photos:

I am so looking forward to the day that someone will present me with a bouquet of convocation flowers! And a teddy bear wearing a square academic cap among them!

45399_419389292702_704662702_5246410_1062216_n

And by then, all of us will be very proud of what we’ve accomplished!

45399_419389262702_704662702_5246404_5370847_n

2 more years to go babes! Let’s bring that day closer to us each day sexily and filling all those coming days with super sweet and fun days!

40529_419389552702_704662702_5246419_2945716_n

And by then, we can take photos with all the flowers as many times as we like and have fun with them! =)

*Thanks Kelly for the photos!*

MTV World Stage 2010

Still remember the day when Jason and I worked our asses off in getting the MTV Worldstage tickets in Sunway? 8 tickets we had, X-ZONES. :D

IMG_8923

We waiting really patiently for THE DAY to come. And when it was finally here, everyone of us were SUPER EXCITED! 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Andrew and Ah Jo couldn’t make it to the concert. Ah Jo claimed that she is too old to do all those stuffs including queue it under the hot sun. =.=

So, Sze Yin and LuLu (Wonder Girls Die-hard Fans =P) tag along with us!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Us, heading to Sunway! Woo Woo!!!

We reached Sunway Lagoon at around 2.30pm. The event was supposed to start at 6pm and there were already people queuing up!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Luckily we had the X-zones tickets and we didn’t have to spend our whole day standing under the hot sun to wait for the gate to open.

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We still had time to snap some photos around Sunway. =)

The gate was opened around 5pm? I couldn’t remember what was the time time, I was just too excited about everything around me! The crowd, the settings, the crew, the hot sun, Sunway Lagoon~~ Woo WOo!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

When the gate was finally opened, the crowd was running into the entrance of Sunway Lagoon.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

They were really running as though there was a giant alien chasing them from behind!

And after some 10 minutes, the gate was closed again for no reasons. =.= And we decided to start queuing as well with the crowd.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Us, with the tickets while queuing~

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Jason’s friends from Terengganu, Baby and Anis, were there too. =)

The waiting process was really exhausting…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

And boring…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

and…..

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

scary???

Anyway, we still had our own ways to find our own entertainments…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          

Like finding unwanted posters being left on the floors by some heartless fans..

P7310207OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

and like how we found a poster writing “I Love Tokio Hotel” by the road and made it our own and get all excited over it.… Woo WOo! Go Tokio Hotel!!!

We waited for more than an hour under the sun for the gate to open.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          

The crowd grew more than double when it was already 5pm.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

See the difference?

When we were finally allowed to enter the gate, it was the best feeling ever! Like you’ve accomplished something together with your sistas!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Us, heading towards the entrance. Look at Jason’s face. Haha..

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We still need to wait for around 30 minutes before we even reached the entrance. Our water bottles were all taken away there. Ish, why do they need to check our bags. Privacy please!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

And when finally all that were done, they gave us these X-ZONES wrist bands and exclusive MTV Worldstage stamp! Oh Yeah!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Heading to the X-ZONE!!!!

It was still sunny when we were walking towards the surf beach. After toilet visits, the sun suddenly became dark and heavy rain started to pour.

But no worries, cos’ we were given raincoats!! Woo Woo!!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          

I was SUPER EXCITED! I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited in my life. Seeing how close we were to stage and plus the rain?? Woo WOOO!!! 

I basically ran into the X-zone while jumping and screaming all the way under the rain. And the rain was still pouring down really really heavily. I just couldn’t stop myself!!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Everyone of us were very happy and there was this good aura among us! You can see everyone smiling, running around and jumping around!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          

We spent the time taking jumping shots…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          

but there were mostly ruined by Melvin. =.= Hahaa…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This one the only successful jumping shot we had and I loved it. =) 

The event was officially started at around 7pm when Hafiz from Fly Fm came out onto the stage to give away merchandises.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The crowd was really ready for them.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Then MTV VJs from representing different countries were out to host the event. And of course, my hubby, Utt, was there as well! =)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

From left: VJ from Korea, Utt, VJ from China and VJ from Japan (He was really hot too!!)

The counting down session was really great! Imagine 15,000 counting down together with you at the same time for the concert to start! The feeling was just awesome!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Counting down~~

The concert started of by performances by our Malaysian band, Bunkface, who are from Klang! Woo Go Klang!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Woo I adore them!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The vocalist and guitarist, Sam. =)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

They performed Bunk Anthem, Prom Queen, Revolusi, Through My Window and Situasi.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Boy oh Boy, I loved their songs!!

Second to perform was Wonder Girls. But MTV made us wait for around 20 minutes for them. The crowd went super WILD when they appeared on stage. It was a really strong entry I should say.

Your heart pumps super fast when you see them on stage. I don’t know if it was because they are Wonder Girls or it was because of the music. 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

They were HOT. Really HOT. It was actually my first time even seeing their faces to be honest..

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          

They wowed us with endless dance routines. The crowd really couldn’t stop screaming at all!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Second song: Tell Me Tell Me~ Da da da da da da~~

All of them looked so sweet and pretty. =)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Sohee (centre), Jason told me that a lot of Malaysians are crazy over her.

Jason, Lulu, Sze Yin and I were super HIGH when they performed!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Us with Wonder Girls! WOOOO!!!

They also did a special rock edition of Nobody, which I think was pretty cool =)

Next song: Nobody!!!!!!!!

I knew about Wonder Girls through Jason when he taught a few of my classmates the dance move. But I never watched the music video of it before.

And now seeing it live, performing by the original band, with the original clothes and settings from the music video itself?? I was blown away.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Their performances were great. I thought they couldn’t sing live (Just some assumption about Korean groups ahaha..) But they did and it went well!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Wonder Girls, saying good byes to us.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

And we were ON TOP OF THE WORLD when they finished performing!!!

What happened next? MTV made us wait again. This time for at least 30 minutes for the next performance.

All of us were standing in our wet shoes, soaking our feets in our smelly wet socks for hours already!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Jason and I decided to take off our socks and shoes and let our foot breath after hours of soaking. And it felt so great!!! Should have done that earlier.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The waiting part is always very torturing. Without dinner or any water to drink, we were left in the crowd, waiting….

When the VJs finally came up on the stage again to inform us that the next band who was going to perform was Tokio Hotel, my energy level went up again!!!

Tokio Hotel, the band that I was anticipating all this while was finally performing right in front of my eyes!!!

I couldn’t stop screaming when they were on the stage!!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Their performances blew me away, my ears were going deaf due to loud music of theirs but it was super worth it!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Bill looked awesome that night.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

They put a lot of effort in decorating the stage this year. The whole setting of the stage was super nice.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The lightings and all when he sang The Dark Side of The Sun were intense.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Red, fire, HOT!!!!

Dark Side of The Sun:

Monsoon:

He sang a slow song while his twin brother, Tom, played the piano.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It was a very nice song and I finally get to see the soft side of him. =)

And when he sang The World Behind My Wall, Jason and I went crazy! Hahaha.. It was the song of the night! The song that we were looking forward all this while!!!

You could actually hear us screaming in the video. Haha..

There were even sparkling fire works flowing down after that song. Nice ending.

*Touched*

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Tokio Hotel, a really great band. I don’t understand why some people hate them so much. I just can’t control myself from falling in love with them! =)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Me and Tokio Hotel. The best photo of the night!! woo woo!!

And after their performance? We were forced to wait under the rain for Katy Perry! For 40 minutes!!!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It was time to play again. Jason – Tokio Hotel-wannabe! =)

We were really tired, smelly, hungry and thirsty by then. It was already pass 11.30pm.

When the curtain finally opened, all of us were speechless. The decoration of the stage was superb!!!!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Katy Perry said before that her performance in MTV Worldstage would be sweet and colourful. And indeed it was!!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

There were a giant banana split in the middle of the stage!! With giant strawberries, candies, lollipops and creams on the stage too!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Even her guitarist and backup singers were all dressed up according to the theme!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

She started by singing California Girls, her latest singles.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

She later perfomed Teenage Dream, a song that I come to love now. =)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Third song: Waking up in Vages. :)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

She has really high energy in her. Jumping and hoping around. And the screen behind the stage was always playing super colourful and happy animation!

When she performed Thinking of You, I nearly cried. So many memories coming back to me and it was my favourite song of hers.

My heart really melted when she sang that.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Aw.. I really miss the whole thing! 

Next song that she performed was I Kiss A Girl, another song that made the crowd went wild!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The screen was full with lips and kisses. NICE!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

There were even two giant ginger bread man on the stage, how cute!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Katy really gave it all when she performed. The vibe was great and everyone couldn’t stop singing along with her.

She then performed a song named Peacock. It wasn’t released yet and she sang it just for Malaysia. How sweet of her. =)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The stage was again, decorated with peacocks at the screen!

The last song that she performed that night was Hot and Cold. Everyone was super high then.

You can see the crowd was jumping and singing along with her…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

And then all of a sudden, there were giant balls jumping around on us. There were huge! And they actually blocked the whole stage, I couldn’t spot Katy at any place.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          

And of course, the song was still going on. Katy then decided to climbed onto one of the pole so that we could see her…

The crowd went crazy and ran forward when she decided to come down to the crowd at the end of her show. It was chaotic!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

There was even fireworks after all that! =)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I was in a shock at that time. Too much stuffs happening in one minute. I couldn’t breath!

All of us thought it ends there but then one of the organiser came out and surprised us by telling us that Wonder Girls would be performing again.

I wondered if this is the way a apologising by MTV for making us wait all night? It was already 12.30am then. He told us to wait for 15 minutes, and yet, we waited for 30 minutes AGAIN.

And this time, Jason, Lulu, Sze Yin and I squeezed ourselves to the front. SECOND ROW FROM THE STAGE!!!!! That was just SO SO SO damn close to the stage!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Sharon’s camera was low on battery then, sadness… =.=

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Wonder Girls performed Nobody again. I was a little disappointed. I thought they would have perform another song..

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Anyway, it was still great cos’ this time I get to see them up close! Jason went crazy then, haha.. It was his dream to meet them in person and he was so determined to be in front of the crowd so that one of the member could shake his hand (If they ever got down the stage). :P

So it all ended at 1am plus. Everyone was tired but HAPPY i supposed. Oh Ya, and super HUNGRY!!!!

MTV Worldstage 2010 was GREAT except that they made us made for at least 30 minutes before the next band performed. That was quite shitty..

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Anyhow, MTV Worldstage, I will be back next year! I will be getting meet and greet passes the next time plus X-zone tickets again! =)

Woo woo!
