All kinds of Vibes

Hi.
I have been really uninspired due to personal reasons (it's not about a guy, I promise)

It's already the 24th of August, wow. Time really flies. This month has been a really shaky roller coaster ride. I'll just write the events that made me happy:

• Bebis did a belated birthday surprise at Chillis, One Utama.
  
  
  
  
• 15th August:
  
   I saw ISSUES live and I won meet and greet passes. So yes, I got to take selfies with the band members. They are So good live. They do not disappoint, that is for sure. Um, Tyler Carter is da man. His voice is ugh, magical. Scout was hella cute too! I just love the band.
  One regret: I did not give Sky anything- just becauseI know he is a big fan of Pokemon (I am too). I should've given him a mini pokeball or somethin, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
  
  
  

Highlight: I got to touch Sky's hair! The convo went on like this:

Me/Sky:

"Um, can I touch your hair?"

"Sure, it's all sweaty tho"

"I don't mind- *touches his hair"

"Hahah alright!"

"I hope I did not appear as a creepy girl tho"

"Nah.. wait- maybe you are *smirks*"

If you guys are wondering how his hair looks like.

  Went to Zuliana's open house then went straight to MTV Words Stage. Was an impromptu plan with Hani. Got to Catch Yuna and B.o.B live! Yuna was incredible, she looked like a goddess (duh) and B.o.B was good lookin haha, he delivered a fantastic show too. Couldn't record because my memory was full. Meh.
• 23rd August:
  
  Went to Kaya's sister's wedding in the morning. Got to meet some friends who I have not met in a while. Twas nice. And uh.. Goodvibes Festival!
  
  Got to catch BANKS, Chk Chk Chk, Empire of The Sun and Ellie Goulding live all in one night. It was absolutely maaagical man. We (Effie, Wawa, Shamey and Razak) arrived a bit late. We missed the local acts, plus the weather was cwazy.
  
  When we arrived, BANKS was already performing. One slight regret: I watched BANKS from afar. But she's electric live and also- a frikkin babe.
  
   Next act was Empire of the Sun. Wawa and I squeezed through the crowd to be (kinda) in front. Was funny because there was this one girl who was angry at us "oh my God! *rants in chinese* if wanna be in front come early!". Girl, haven't you been to a concert? Normal la. Well anyway, EOTS took a while to set up, but boy, it was worth it. Their performance was really ace. From the dancers, visuals, costumes- everything. Ugh! Was kind of surreal. Of course they finished their set by playing Alive. Twas magical *w*.
  
  Next act was Chk Chk Chk, the frontman was- how do I describe him? Epic. Just Youtube the band to have an idea how he is. He went down the stage to groove with the crowd. Wawa could not help it. She immedietly ran and hugged him. Haha! Then the finishing 'touch' he swam in the mud. Is that even the right usage. I don't know?
  
  Last act of the night was the queen, Ellie Goulding. I swear she is sexy as f-! Would go gay for her, anytime. First song she sang was Figure 8, my all time fav song. Her energy was topnotch and her dance moves, aiyaya I wonder how the guys felt. I immediately went "damnnn girl". Ee was really in awe! Was almost at the front, so I had a good view alright. Hehe. Hope she comes here again!

I will probably update more, in detail. It all depends on my mood. Ah, right now, terrifying things are happening. I hope things will get better soon. It's a phase then I went through- and now it's happening all over again. Sigh. Just please be okay soon.

World Youth Jazz Festival 2014

Hi.

WYJF was held on the 2nd - 4th May at PICC, Putrajaya. The name of the event explains it all. World Youth Jazz Festival. It was my first time being a part of the event. I was one of the LOs (Liaison Officer) (Google it up)

How/Where do I start?

We stayed at Marriot Putrayajaya throughout the whole event. (Yes, had hotel breakfast for 6 days straight, tee hee). I was honestly so scared because I didn't know what to expect as I was assigned to take care of Matti Klein Trio (They're from Germany). It turned out okay. More than okay.

Wednesday (30th April 2014):

Arrived at Marriot IOI at 1pm. Thought I was late but nope, the others were still waiting at the hotel lobby. Accidentally met Joe (Matti Klein's drummer). I was not prepared to socialize with him so yes, I was really awkward but he was really cool. Then Abang Jart got the keys to our rooms. We (Effie, Illy and I) stayed in room 1015. The room is pretty small compared to other rooms but we did not mind.

Illy's artiste and mine had a show at No Black Tie, Changkat. We had to follow them while the others were free for the day. Of course we complained but you gotta do what you gotta do. Our artistes went to NBT first. Illy, EE (her cousin) and I went to Taiwan House at Ampang to have late lunch (my breakfast). After that we went straight to NBT. We actually got lost but managed to find the place anyway.

When we arrived, Matti Klein and his band members were eating so Introduced myself and they did the same. Let me indirectly introduce them to you. Matti Klein- he's a piano beast and I am not even exaggerating. Jurgen Mayer, the joyful drummer. And lastly, the very handsome bassist player, Nikolas Lukassen (He's only 18 years old!)

They definitely delivered a  wonderful performance. The show ended pretty late- around 1am-ish. After the show, Joe the drummer gave us some local chocolates, very nice of him. I booked a taxi for them to go back to the hotel.

We went back to the hotel and slept right away.

Thursday (1st of May 2014):

Didn't really do much on Thursday. Woke up at 9.30 and had breakfast. Most of the LOs went swimming after breakfast but I forgot to bring clothes that are swimming-friendly so I had to skip that part. Played a lil bit of basketball with Effy and EE and the I went straight to the hotel room.-

Shoot I can't recall? This is bad? I will update more soon. Definitely. Once I get my memory back.
