經過了五月莫名的頽廢，上個月過的算還蠻充實的，可能是因爲相機維修好，用照片來記錄自己活著所以看起來也活得比較有意義。


六月頭首先是去了上次拍攝《淚光》mv 時認識的Joyce 家小聚餐。在那裏面認識了些各族新朋友，聽到了更多故事， 被很多故事感動，被一些故事裏的異常行爲弄得哭笑不得，還有被很多現在政府做出荒唐的行爲而感到乍舌。聼著一堆大人（我應該是裏面最小的，除了主人家那長得貌似Angela Baby般漂亮的女兒 ：O）講故事，我全程都是一個忠實聽衆，感覺就好像小孩子般在聼爸媽講童話故事，唯獨故事内容比較政治化lol。

精彩六月當然也少不了AFA 2012！多謝表哥的兩張complimentary ticket我可以不用排隊又省錢直接去逛，更多内容可以看之前的blog: Anime Festival Asia 2012

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

之後還有很難得的和ST的朋友們吃火鍋聚餐，大概有快半年沒見了吧？第一個是被Aaron 和 Swee Chin 的新造型suprise到，他們這對情侶果然很有服裝sense，打扮起來都一定有亮點和主題，超欣賞他們！過後另一個suprise是花花和Vincent的出現，畢竟我還沒看過他們出現在ST的聚會裏，Vincent則是我們幾個月前散band后都沒見面了。

這閒店叫做Harbour Steamboat，位于Sri Petaling,，店内的設計賣點是牆壁可以任人塗鴉，所以可以看到很多留言和廣告.... 另外，這裡有很多种湯可以選。我的桌子是豬骨湯和胡椒湯，另一桌我只記得有tom yam湯... 這裡的熱點食物是蘑菇豬肉丸，豬肉片，sotong丸，這些都是必點的！！

除了吃還是吃，隔兩天后參與新調子junior們度過了一個瘋狂的夜晚。首先到了Klang吃肉骨茶，還ok。過後去了Setia City Mall 閒逛（本來要打保齡球，結果店還沒開 ><），過後回去UKM Pop Avenue 唱K 到半夜三點。還不夠，最後再去McD坐下玩killer到五六點早上才回家，隔天變僵屍去上班， 不過我倒是超enjoy這種無拘無束的生活啦！

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

同一個星期六，參與了Mic姐弟二個project，飢餓三十volunteer 的主題曲。一開始是阿Toh 這位長期volunteer寫了詞，Jeff哥寫了曲想要pay tribute 給所有參與飢餓三十的volunteer，結果進而演變成要大合唱，要拍一個短mv，然後Mic姐又給了我機會參與大合唱啦！期待mv的完成，而我也報名參與飢餓三十的volunteer團隊，到時候會扮演石Q (Security) 的角色，順便看王力宏LOL!

隔天周末禮拜天則完成了一個人生中的第一次，那就是在Sungai Wang Plaza 中間舞臺唱歌，而且可以唱自創曲的感覺超爽！這一切首先一定要感謝（/_\）彌蒸！這位前全創得主自從上次Station One 找我合作之後，這次由於工作不能出席表演，所以把機會讓給我，有機會一定要請他吃來回報^^ 過後當然也要謝謝這次全創主席Ming Hao，表演完畢后跟他談了一下，發現他非常有心有想法也有責任感，如果不是他我也不懂全創的歷史，還有原來辦全創是那麽辛苦的！

最後要謝謝的是新任新調子主席俊文，考final也很有義氣的拔刀相助，陪我晚上練習，辛苦啦！

六月最後第二個星期六，去看了Jayesslee 演唱會！這是她們第二次來馬，也是我第二次去！更多詳細情況在之前的blog已經提了！ 可以點擊這裡看照片---〉Jayesslee Live in KL 2012

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 隔天又聚餐，這次是和我新調子裏熟悉的junior圈（老闆+SHE），不過明星紫環小姐缺席。這次又來到去年慶祝老闆生日的韓國燒烤店，當作是他們畢業前的聚會，另外也算是秀喧去臺灣Internship前見一面吧。食物依然好吃，秀喧的三八故事依然精彩，老闆依然會無時無刻突然爆出冷笑話，秀萍依舊傻笑，不過比以前多了一兩句話了！只不過這一切暫時應該都不會再發生吧，下一次又或者是最後一次一gang三八聚會應該是convo畢業典禮吧，要解散了呢...haih...



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

六月尾則忙著籌備公司的一個conference+exhibition，過後就出席了生平中第一場朋友的喜酒，也正式擔任了全天候的actual day攝影師。很開心看到我這位前coursemate+housemate 漂漂亮亮嫁給一個臉上寫著“我是好人，請來欺負我”的男生，祝Evonne 和 JJ 白頭偕老，早生貴子！

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

就這樣六月過去了，期待這個七月還有更重要的八月！因爲我入圍了新加玻《飛越時空18》創作比賽決賽，而且超級開心12首決賽曲裏中了兩首！想不到第一次投稿參賽就中獎了，看來我沒錢沒女友應該是因爲我的運氣都用在這些地方啦！XD

這兩個月除了要煩編曲和練習以外，也要煩工作，sales target。這次我跟你拼了，告訴自己今年12月我一定hit target給老闆看！

吃后清理盤桌，由你我開始！（至少整理一下，不要拍拍屁股就走人啦~）

剛剛讀了小寒老師的一篇blog，一個關於尊重清潔工人的醒覺運動。

向大家請命：尊重清潔工人，尊重自己。

還記得大概一年多前和老友玄平兄在外面吃完后看到他很自動自發的把盤子曡好，排列整齊以方便工人來收。那時候鮮少（甚至沒有）看過這個情形的我直接很沒用腦的問了爲什麽要這麽好心曡好呢？反正等下就會有人收拾的啦！

他說他在臺灣用餐時每個人都會自動自發整理餐后盤具和垃圾，因爲不用麻煩其他人整理。那時候他也不知道，直到別人提醒他才懂不收拾是一種很奇怪的事，也讓他有點丟臉。我頓時才恍然大悟，站在清潔工人的角度想，我們一直以來是否太過自私了？

想想一下如果我是清潔工人，要收拾一座四五個盤子加杯子已經很多，還要加上吐滿整座的雞骨，飯渣，紙巾等等，那是多麽噁心。加上很有創意的馬來西亞人時不時很喜歡用食物殘渣來擺設圖案，佈置等等，這一切只會帶給清潔工人更多麻煩。

一般上的清潔工人不是aunty uncle 就是外勞，但是他們是誰不重要，最重要的是他們都是人，和你和我沒有差。如果站在他們的角度，你希望收拾的是已經整理好很方便讓你拿去清洗的盤子，還是一桌淩亂的桌子呢？我就當然選擇前者了。

所以自從那一次以後我都會很自動自發的把餐具曡好，如果桌上有食物渣我會把它們都放進盤子裏，以方便過後來收拾的人。這些行動只需短短幾秒鐘，一點都不難。再加上這些也是你我自己吃剩的，當然是自己收拾最好不過，要不然想想如工作上會面對要幫人家清理手尾，shit等的狀況，你喜歡嗎？

雖然馬來西亞還不至於文明到每個人都會體諒其他人（就算是外勞）的心情而自動收拾飯後餐具，但是還是希望看到大家以後可以自動自發，要不然到外國去吃完閃人是很不禮貌+丟臉的事，你要丟臉請別認你是馬來西亞人，華人，甚至與最基本的“人”。

歌曲推薦：《Friends》 - 蔡健雅

話説Tanya 發行《說到愛》專輯時同期也發行了一張英文專輯，不過我發現真的很少人懂這張英文專輯的存在... 難得昨天和朋友從居鑾回來吉隆玻路程中突然聊起了蔡健雅，也很驚訝發現她有聼這張專輯，所以就來分享下。既然上次在我的blog已經推薦了《說到愛》專輯裏的《舊行李》，這次就來分享一下英文專輯《Just Say So》裏好聽的歌曲。

專輯聼第一遍就可以被幾首節奏比較catchy活潑的歌曲吸引住，比如《Make It For Real》, 《Back Into My Life》還有《Key To Hapiness》，這些我都在facebook分享了。不過剛剛睡醒突然閒一首慢歌的旋律不斷在我腦海裏回轉，那就是專輯裏一首非常簡單一把木吉他unplugged的歌曲，也是最後一首曲目，《Friends》。

沒有華麗的編曲，澎湃的歌聲，只有簡單的木吉他配合感慨的歌聲，這就是這首《Friends》。歌詞很簡單，看歌名就懂，做不成情人做朋友，放手退出的故事。這種故事應該可以配合很多人的心聲，覺得自己多餘或沒能力給與對方幸福，所以只好放手離開，為的單純只是要對方快樂。但是往往自以爲很偉大的自己，最後卻是藏著最多的痛和無奈。

喜歡這首歌的原因很簡單，吉他乾淨又好聽，和Tanya的歌聲非常配；prechorus和 chorus都很catchy；最後一個原因是在晚上容易emo時候聼特別有feel~

從youtube抓來的，拿來分享 :)

《Friends》

主唱：蔡健雅
作曲：蔡健雅
作詞：蔡健雅

All the sadness in the air
How did we get to this?
Why did we end this way?
All the things we used to share
You said put them all away
Close my eyes they're still there yeah
Still trying to understand
Trying the best I can
To start over again oh


*If who I am brings you not joy but tears babe
I cannot bear to see you fighting with this pain
So I wish you all the best
If we can't be lovers
Maybe we can still be friends


Though we never really knew
Why did our worlds collide
There were no reasons why
When we're meant to say goodbye
You were never really mine
You were just a state of mind
Still trying to understand
Trying the best I can
To start over again oh

repeat * *

Jayesslee Live in KL 2012

It's been awhile since I last blog here. But today I'm gonna write my second english blog for Jayesslee concert which just ended about 5 hours ago! (yes this was just 2nd english blog. Usually i write in chinese but my 1st english blog was also writing about them ^^)

This was Jayesslee 2nd concert in Malaysia. I had went for the 1st one in PWTC last year and really excited when I got to know they are coming for the 2nd time! Without hesitation I start sharing out the event to my friends but the reception was well, ended up only 1 couple joining me and I'm the big light bulb... But anyway what's important is still Jayesslee performance! Missed their angelic voice and harmonizing ability badly since their last concert.

Before going into detail, first we all must thank the organizer for allowing us to take photos/videos for the 1st 2 songs. Compared to last year where I can freely walk to the front and sit down on the floor JUST IN FRONT of them, this year the security was tight and more organized. It was more to concert level rather than last time which was just like a music showcase. Even the organizer only allowed us to take pictures and videos for 2 songs, I was still very happy because I brought along my DSLR camera!! Comparing to other people around me, I saw most of them were only using digital camera which was unable to capture any thing since we are sitting in the RM99 zone..... I don't believe they don't have DSLR but maybe they saw the message that DSLR was banned in the Facebook event page and decided not to bring it (one of my friend told me about this..)

Back to topic. The performance start at 730pm with 3 different opening performance. The 1st performer is 2 Astro competition winner (Not sure what competition is it). They sang "Rolling in the Deep" and it was a hit and starts to get the crowd moving. Great cover by both male and female vocalist and personally I love the rap from the guy. 2nd performance is done by 2 Malaysian voted from Facebook. In my opinion it was OK only compared to the other 2 team. Maybe the voice tone of both male and female vocalist doesn't really match IMO and there are frequent problem with the female vocalist harmonizing. The last performance was my favourite! The performer Leon Marcus Zachary performed his own original song "Superhero". The song itself have a very strong melody line with an attractive chorus. Not to forget about the vocalist having a great voice and the way he presents the song, Perfect! Found him on YouTube and I'm gonna share his songs here to you all who are interested.

There was also some small games in between where the emcee throw out some autographed posters. Around 8pm+ finally the much anticipated Jayesslee show up with an opening full band song "Jetlag" from Simple Plan. There was some issue with the sound system as Janice voice was missing in the middle, nevertheless it was still a good opening song ^^

A total of 13 song was performed on this concert (correct me if I'm wrong) and for me, the highlight was full band version "Dare You to Move". Honestly speaking it was way better than the original song sang by Switchfoot (even 1st time cover acoustic version was already great!). Other than that, I'm also surprised by the full band version "Amazing Grace". Many had sang or covered this song, but not many had done it with a full band with drums, electric guitar and bass and it turned out to be like a pop song you will hear on radios. The last song I loved the most for the show is "Safe & Sound". The song is smooth, the harmonizing is great, equally great with the original Taylor Swift version.

The best part of the show was actually AFTER the concert ended. I do not have the VVIP ticket (or I should say the money to buy a ticket ><), but many of us waited outside the hallway leading to the meet and greet session room. My friend was the one who 1st spotted there was only 1 way in and out the room and Jayesslee had not walked into the room yet. So we all started to wait behind the barricade and finally they showed up!!! (SCREAMMINGGGG!!) The pair walk pass and smiling all the way. They are very friendly and shook hand with some of the fans. I was busy taking pictures and forgot to shake hand with them T_T (DAMN REGRET NOW) But unfortunately most picture are blurred but luckily I still got 2 "Acceptable" quality picture for each of them! (Scroll to the end of post for the 2 candid ^^)

That's wraps up generally what happened and what I experienced for this concert. Seriously thinking why they cant release a live version album with all these live recorded song? It was already as good as CD quality! Hoping for their mini album to be released as soon as possible as Malaysia do not have ITunes shop for us to purchase song....

See you next time Jayesslee! :)

Oops, not the best expression but this was the best shot i got T_T

I nominate this for Best Smile of the year :D

Anime Festival Asia AFA 亞洲動漫節 2012 @ PWTC

之前宅男兄弟Ah Tatt 在facebook 分享了這個活動，但是他本人在新加玻沒有空不會出席，另一位在KL的宅友Lance 也沒去，我的相機也壞了，所以就打消念頭不去了。

後來前coursemate 宅女 Wai Ping 也想去，又很恰巧的我的相機剛剛在禮拜五昨天修理好，更恰巧的是表哥突然簡訊問我要不要去，因為他有多的門票，這些突如其來的"恰巧s" （多了個"s"代表很多的意思）也讓我沒有理由不去咯。

昨晚從表哥手上接過兩張入門票，一張是普通Exhibition的，另一張是有包括Show的。兩張都是complimentary pass，因為表哥在Dentsu做工（這次event的partner之一），所以要先謝謝他加上昨晚的魚頭米晚餐XD kam xia kam xia!

我沒有去過任何Anime 展，所以也不懂要expect什麽。不過看過照片印象中都很大型，很多cosplay，很多不同的booth。結果這以前expectation在踏進exhibition hall 后直接幻滅.... 現場除了Good Smile Company, Danny Choo 的 Mirai, 還有Bandai Robot魂等等booth以外，其他的都是本地的商家在賣anime周邊產品，而且booth也沒有很好的裝飾，都很隨便.....

另外現場盛裝出席（cosplay）的人數不少，只不過美的帥的很多都不在場，反而在外面天橋或者是入口更或者是PWTC裏面，exhibition hall 裏面的就... 不怎麼到我的expectation啦 ><"

跟宅女朋友逛了一圈后發現真的沒什麼逛，然後她就去看帥哥（管家餐廳），我就去了Show那邊看看。Show 那邊其實就是Concert hall 的場地。我進去的時候正在訪問SP Cats（不懂日本還是韓國 ），兩位女生都是cosplay 明星。我不熟cosplay 所以也沒什麼興趣聽完訪問，逛了一圈就走人了。

臨走前本來想回去Good Smile Co.的檔口購買早上看到的Miku Cheerful ver，因為才RM120而已。不過很衰我回去的時候竟然“賣完了”！問了檔口的人他說這次Good Smile 從日本只運了一箱來供兩天的展覽，所以賣完就沒了.... 失望的我爲了阻止這失落的心情所以買了另一個同是RM120的粘土人“Gumako Cheerful edition” 來平伏一下心情（點擊瀏覽Gumako可愛的官方照片）

這次出門照片拍得非常少，因為第一，模型不多，一下子就拍完了，而且人潮很擁擠很不方便拍.... 第二，Cosplay 在這種人潮燈光和背景更加難拍，所以也沒什麼拍到，然後cos得有feel的很少啊.....很多比較像來湊熱鬧 （個人觀點，但我還是非常欣賞你們的專業和勇氣，至少你們做到的我做不到><“）。

暫時先up著這些照片，要出門了~
