Live & Loud: Turn on the Pop

Live & Loud was absolutely fabulous. We were there from 4.30pm till about 2am. By the time it finished, our feet were numb and our backs were suffering from the onset of rigor mortis.

The highlights of the concert were Mr. Bombastic himself, Shaggy and Whitney Houston. Shaggy was such an amazing performer, he worked the crowd so good, I’ve never screamed so much in my entire life. Also, I believe he could have single-handedly led the biggest mass bird flipping in Malaysia. Serious shit.

Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures of Whitney. Even the media was prohibited from doing so. It’s quite a disappointment that I couldn’t capture any image of her (I was standing so close to the security it was impossible to sneak even one) but damn…I saw Whitney Houston live whey!

James Taylor Quartet.
James Taylor Quartet, very entertaining.

Hannah Tan.
Hannah Tan. To people who think she can’t sing, you are very wrong. She sings AND plays the piano VERY WELL.

Shaolin Tiger at Live & Loud.
ShaolinTiger incurring the jealousy of all photographers by being the only one allowed on stage.

Local acts at Live & Loud.
The local acts comprising among others, Anuar Zain, Noryn Aziz, Jacqueline Victor and a few others. Hit and miss, great talents but the song selection were a bit too slow, we got bored after a while. This picture was taken during the final song and you can see Remy (formerly from Innuendo) has joined them. He’s the guy that made Live & Loud happen.

Edlyn and me.
Met my former highschoolmate, Edlyn.

Last but not least, to rejuvenate myself after standing, jumping, waving and screaming for more than 9 hours…

Quality Street, fugu and Dionne Warwick.

I’m going on a diet. Feeling like a tub of lard, looking like it also. Where’s my chin?

Was supposed to buy shoes and ended up getting this instead.

I am hopeless.

Spent the whole weekend hanging out with the boo, doing absolutely nothing. We checked out Gardens. It was still under renovation, the smell of paint stripper gave me a mild headache.

And we found this Japanese restaurant that serves fugu!!!! I was so excited over it (still am, actually) but I was too full to eat a full course fugu meal. Absolutely going to try it next time and if I’m still alive by then, you will see a blog post dedicated to it.

I’m going to see Dionne Warwick tonight at the Shang. ZOMG, exciting!

++ Update ++

Just read a post from PreciousPea about eating fugu at Gardens. I think it’s the same restaurant. To be honest, I don’t think they’re serving real fugu, from the looks of it. From what I know, an obvious effect of eating fugu flesh is numbness on the tongue, but that is missing from the the blogger’s narration. And they’re even serving fugu liver…wtf…wiki said it’s ILLEGAL to serve the liver in Japan cause it’s so fucking toxic.

Real or fake fugu? RM 150 is way too much to pay for a fake thrill. I think I’m more inclined to try The Real McCoy in Japan now.
