David Choi Forever and Ever Tour Live in Malaysia

I shall blog about me attending David Choi's showcase last May, before this post celebrates it's 1 year anniversary in my draft =S *David, if you are reading this, much apologizes.*

I don't think I need to introduce who is David Choi by now. However, if you really don't know, here's a brief. He is Korean American, singer, songwriter, producer, knows how to play multiple instruments and most of all a YouTube sensation!

David Choi had came to Malaysia for the second time for his Forever and Ever Tour at Bentley Music Auditorium. According to him, he really loves Malaysia, his Malaysian fans and *ahem* Roti Kaya LOL Actually David did came to Malaysia again in March this year for a Youth Conference called #REACHOUT with Chester See and Jason Chen. I missed out again but I tweeted to him and he replied!!!!

Honestly, he is very very friendly to all of his fans and very down to earth! I think that's pretty cool of him and he does keeps his fans close XD I'm really happy that I went for his showcase.

Jin from Hitz FM was the emcee of the night. He and David are friends and you may have seen some of the Jinnyboytv videos has David's appearance.

The opening act of the night was non other than our local artist. I'm so sorry but I don't remember her name but she's good. Anyone can recall?

After the opening act, out come David Choi and his band. His band is awesome! David sounds the same in all of his videos! It was like watching YouTube with him in a big screen tv except this is LIVE!

He doesn't just sing during the whole showcase, he interact with us a lot. He talks to us, tell some jokes, telling us stories of how the song came by or how the song has affected his fans. It doesn't feel like going to a showcase, it felt more like attending a friend's showcase. I can say this was one of the most intimate showcase I ever been to! Hope I don't sound weird in saying intimate =X

Pardon me with this pic, don't know why it turn out such bad quality

This is him taking photos of the crowd who went to the showcase. I think he posted in either his Instagram or Tweeter.

There was a Q&A session, whereby fans who can answer his questions correctly, gets his signed poster!

During the middle of the show, David's guitar string broke! He said it happened the last time too.  His band mate helped him switch to another guitar.

Enough said, check out some of the songs he sang in the showcase.

There's a Meet and Greet session after the show and someone asked David to sign his guitar. Cool.

Me and David Choi

Me and JFK

Me and Jin

Met with our local DJ after the show too. Both JFK and Jin from Hitz FM are friendly. I actually met Jin the second time. The first time was when I had high tea with Wong Fu Productions. Speaking of Wong Fu Productions, they made some of David's videos and they uses David songs in their videos =D

I got David's signature on both giant poster and his Forever and Ever CD! This is definitely one of my favorite albums.

Ending this post with the song list of the showcase. I'm sorry if I missed out any songs that he sang during the show.

Namoo On the Park

It's another hang out with the ex-colleagues gang 3 weekends ago. This time we when to have a try at Namoo On the Park at Publika.

It's a more of a hang out type of place than your usual Korean restaurant. It's a modern cafe you go to and it serve Korean food. I find the food serve here very interesting and has a lot of variety of Korean food.

Let's just head on to food pictures rather than me telling you how good the food are.

What is having a Korean meal without having a Kim Chi soup? There's a lot of yummy and healthy ingredient in this Kim Chi soup. Do you know that Kim Chi soup can help you slim too? (Fact of Myth?) 

Bibimbap Fried Rice

From left to right: Multi-Grain Honey Latte (you can have it as a meal if you are on a diet because it's very filling), Yuza Tea and Snowflower Sik Hae *recommended* very refreshing and mildly sweet.

Top: Ginger Tea with Honey, Bottom: Expresso

Oh my! I think this is the best pancake that I ever had! Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pancake with Ice Cream. Most sinful dish I had for that day too =X

Pancake *warning, the brown sauce at the corner is quite spicy*

Bibi Rice Burger, it's something like MOS burger with grilled chicken

Other stuffing ourselves with delicious food, it's also picture snapping adventure for me and snailyin. BTW, the food pictures you see here are snapped using snailyin's 14mm pancake lens on my G3 XD

We switch each other lenses to snap on food because she want to poison me to buy a pancake lens LOL! Anyways, we switch back to snap the decorations in the cafe which I think are quite vintage and cute.

The entrance of the cafe, cute or not?

Entrance with the menu hanging at the side

Vintage *picture stolen from snailyin*

Camera art on top of vintage luggage bags *also stolen from snailyin*

Me with my G3 ^.^ *snapped by snailyin*

Namoo On the Park actually does locate next to a mini park at Publika. It has both outdoor and indoor dining. This is the outdoor of the cafe and on the left is the mini park and there's some mini playground for the kids. It's nice to chill out here on a dizzying rainy day.

 Trying to be artsy and snapped a picture of their counter. *lame* LOL

Ending the post with my OOTD of the day with one of the many structures you can find at Publika. I'm wearing denim on denim both polka dot denim and denim shorts from Brand Outlets.

Melissa VS Free Fish Shoes

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes! This entry, it's all about shoes. So guys, you can leave now, kidding you can get pressie ideas, you know?

Anyhow, what material of shoes do you like most? For me it's Jelly shoes! There are the most comfortable material for shoes!

My first jelly shoes is from Melissa and it's their collaboration with Campana Brothers. If you don't know how famous Melissa jelly shoes are, you better brush it up!

Melissa shoes is from Brazil, it was first inspired of a simple plastic shoe from a fishermen in south of France. Since then Melissa is the pioneer in the world of plastic shoes. With innovation and trendsetting, Melissa has collaboration with high end designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier, Campana Brothers, Jason Wu and so on.

I owned this pair of Melissa shoes for four years plus now, it was a gift from my aunt. It has been my favourite pair of shoes to go for ANYWHERE! Becox it's the most comfortable pair, easy to manage and easy to clean. I really love it a lot! I think this is the oldest shoes I have owned and wore often.

You can see I really have wear it off

I really love the pearly purple highlights reflecting on the dark grey base. It matches with anything! Have you seen any shoes this pretty? 

Too bad as time passed, it had reach it's limit to serve me. My dear old Melissa shoes has broken and so does my heart. Does anyone know how to fixed a jelly shoe? If you do please share! If I am able to revive it I really will.

You see, the side of the shoe has broken off. Of course you think you can still wear it right? But NO! It's not the right fit anymore.

Not long after my Melissa shoes has broken, I found out that we have a Melissa outlet in Malaysia! Isn't it awesome or what?! The outlet is located in One Utama, please go check it out!

Though I found the Melissa outlet in Malaysia, I thought of getting back the same design and colour of my shoes but too bad, it's not available anymore.

I'm quite sadden for quite sometime *not being dramatic but shoes does have sentimental values to me* and I tried to search high and low for other jelly shoes to replace my Melissa shoes. Until I come across Free Fish shoes from Japan! It was during a Japanese fair in Isetan. I wanted to get them but my size is out of stock! FML!

I tried finding it online and found out that Free Fish shoes are the hottest jelly shoes in Japan. I wanted to get them online at Rakuten and Zozotown, they have a lot of designs!

I was so wanting to get them until my friend told me that Bratpack is carrying them too. No need to wait for shipping duration. I finally was able to own my first Free Fish shoes.

Nice?

Their comfort level is the same as Melissa. I like this design a lot becox it's so chic and affordable. It's navy blue and kind of like Chanel inspired XD Love it!

By the way, it's out of the jelly shoes topic but I just want to share this. It's spring time and I don't know why I seem to unconsciously buying nude shoes.

From left to right: Nose: neon pink nude saddles, Vincci rose gold studs blush pink pumps and Zara French tip Oxford flats.

OK! Back to jelly shoes, I really can't decide which is my favourite jelly shoes brand. It's like asking me to choose who's my favourite child. I honestly can say BOTH are my favourite! If you have not own any jelly shoes yet. Please do and you will not regret, I promise.

Keeping the Tradition

I realized that every year I took pictures of CNY celebration but I never write a post about it. I also know it's April now but time really flies. I think I will be the last person in the world to talk about this year's CNY.

Every year, Grandpa likes to keep the CNY tradition by having lion dance. Every year, everyone with gather at Grandpa's place and chill. Catching up on each other's life. You know, older generations tend to have bigger families compare to now. So, everyone goes on with their life separately all around the world or even those who lives nearby hardly can have time to gather together.

It's like let's be busy but yet we still should keep in touch at least once a year. I really thinks having lion dance every year is a great thing to keep everyone close.

Oh ya, firecrackers are banned in our country but this year the government is nice enough to allow firecrackers during CNY for a few days!

To have firecrackers during CNY is such a perfect thing! I don't even remember the last time I enjoy lion dance this much without firecrackers LOL

Lion dance is great to watch because they always seem to mimic the ways of how a real lion behave.

See... they playfully trying to squeeze their way into this small entrance together.

It's good manners and good prosperous to let the lions say hi to the great great families. 

Again, trying to snatch the mandarin oranges and playing with them selfishly.

It's takes a lot of practice and effort to put on a lion dance show. 采青 'Picking the green' in mandarin means getting good luck in the start of the year.

This lion is really a naughty lion, trying to have a bite of the firecracker. It's always good to have double in the Chinese customs. So, double the firecracker this year too. One already light up from the start and another one to end the show.

The lion is trying to be mischief and up to no good? You just wait and see. 

Frighten and excited at the same time when the firecracker has lid up.

The aftermath... pretty!

Hmmm..... yummy, right? This is the BEST butter cake in the whole wide world! Only available annual by my grand aunt. I should really steal the recipe. OMG! Makes me hungry now!

CNY is always a time when I can rejuvenate and collect my thoughts, it's after all going back home the place I was born. Having everyone close at heart, it's feel very soulful.

How's your CNY? How do you celebrate?
