Maroon 5 Overexposed Tour 2012 Live in Malaysia

It's been a while since I felt like blogging. Always felt kind of lazy.  XD    But now I really feel like I need to start updating my blog. It's been over a month since the Maroon  concert in KL but I'm still just gonna blog about it.  =P

I did not have any friends to go with so I was not planning to go for the concert. But a friend from Advertlets told me about a contest where I could stand a chance to win Meet & Greet Passes. (Yes I am a contest junkie. Everyone knows this.) I mean, it's Meet & Greet passes! Who would pass up a chance to get those?! Obviously it wasn't me. So basically I went to the Facebook fan page hosting the contest; Blin.gd. Basically the Grand Prize  was a Meet & Greet Pass, 1 autographed album and 1 imported Maroon  folder while 3 consolation winners would each get an autographed album. Regarding the contest mechanics, I had to tweet a text containing the necessary username mentions and hashtags on Twitter and get all my friends to retweet it. Not an easy thing to do when not many of my friends have Twitter. But anyway..... a few days before the concert.... I got a call!!
I won!! XD  It's such a great feeling when you win something. I'm addicted. LOL. I wasn't expecting to win but.. yeah~~  v^_^v    I got a call from Universal Music Malaysia on the day itself to find out how to get the tickets. And since it was in Shah Alam and I was afraid of the traffic jam I ended up there at around 4pm. I had to wait til 7-8pm to get the pass so I seriously needed to kill some time.
This T-shirt looked pretty decent so I decided to buy it. It's not any original merchandise but I just like the logo on the side of the sleeve.
 As usually KT will always steal my iPad away from me when we have nothing to do.  Haiz..  =_=     So while he was playing games I had nothing to do for several hours. Therefore.... Picture time~~
 This is the line at 4.30pm. You should have seen the lines around 7pm.
I was only suppose to get the Meet & Greet passes but luckily some how I ended up getting 2 free tickets to watch the concert! Lucky me. XD
After the Meet & Greet I had to rush to the concert area. Sadly I only got to hear The Cab (the opening act) sing one song.  = (
Ta-dah~~~!!  (((o(*^-^*)o)))    Meet & Greet photo with Maroon 5!

MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia 2012

When I heard about the MTV World Stage, I was contemplating on whether or not I should go. And then I saw this picture below! Know why I was excited? The prizes were Meet & Greet passes with Jay Park, Kara and Mizz Nina! Obviously I was aiming for Jay Park which I didn't get but I won the Meet & Greet passes to take a picture with KARA and free passes to the concert! Thank you Astro! *Muackz* So maybe I'm happy but sad at the same time. LOL. But I was literally jumping for joy after I got the phone call and my brother was staring at me like I was crazy. Maybe I am. = p


It was great meeting the girls and seeing them in person! Super pretty!

so.... moving on~~


The MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia 2012 was held at Surf Beach @ Sunway Lagoon on 14th July 2012. MTV VJs Holly and Rich were there to warm up the crowd of 16,000 people who witnessed the performances of global superstar Justin Bieber, K-POP sensation KARA and Jay Park, and our very own local artist, Mizz Nina. The concert kicked of at around 6:30pm but the gates were opened at 3.15pm and there were already tons of people in line. I'm not joking, I was there. All packed together like sardines. XD

Justin Beiber made fans want to Die in HIS Arms

Justin Bieber opened the concert and performed his hit songs "Baby", "All Around the World", "As Long As You Love Me", "Die in Your Arms", "Be Alright", "One Time", "Never Say Never" and for the finale, "Boyfriend". Beliebers were both screaming their lungs out and crying their eyes out and the girls and boys (Yes, the boys too) loved it when he swiped his hand through his hair.

Kara's sexy moves drives fans wild


One of the hottest girl groups from Korean to bring the heat, Kara is made up of female members Park Gyu Ri, Han Seung Yeon, Goo Ha Ra, Nicole Jung and Kang Ji Young. The crowd thinned out a little after Justin Beiber's performance and the majority of the guys moved to the front when fans knew that Kara would be the next performance. You know how we knew? Because of the Disco Ball! XD

Clad in shorts and sparkly tops, the girls made fans (especially the guys) go wild. The korean beauties performed their latest hit "Step" before jumping into "Jumping", "Lupin", "Honey", "Let It Go" and "Mister" for their finale with the famous dance move.

After singing and dancing to "Lupin", the girls said "hello" to the crowd. Nicole was the member to do the speaking being the only one fluent in English and hearing that really made the fans go wild. As if their sexy dance moves did not make them go wild enough.

 The performance was way to short for me!  >_<  

Here's a fancam video for you guys. Hehe... I know it's shaky but I also know that you are going to watch it anyway. XD  You try  recording something with fans pushing around to get closer to their idols.




Party with the Sexy Girl from Kuala Lumpur, Mizz Nina

And again, another chunk of the crowd left, which means, I could get closer to the stage. XD

Mizz Nina sang "Just Do It", "Takeover", "Hit Me Up", "Rentak Yang Sama". "With You", "Summer Burning" and the ever popular "What You Waiting For?". The crowd was also thrilled by her vibrant backup dancers especially some girl who was next to me screaming "Dennis!" every single time she saw that dancer.

The extraordinary Jay Park


With his boyish good looks and explosive dance moves, Jay Park is definitely a force to be reckoned with! 
Showcasing his rapping skills and dance moves, Jay opened his set with "AOM 1llionaire", followed by "Abandoned", and the Korean version of "Know Your Name". He then unveiled his new song "Carefree", a medley of "Nothing" and for the first time ever, we heard the English version of "Girlfriend". (I want to be his girlfriend!  XD) He also performed "I Got Your Back", "Star", "Turn Off Your Phone" Do What We Do" and "Body2Body". His signature ab flashes and seducing dance moves throughout "Turn Off Your Phone" made of the girls, including me, scream with excitement.

After the concert, Jay Park tweeted "MTV WORLD STAGE...definitely an unforgettable night~!! THANK u MALAYSIA!!! THANK U MTV!!!"

Afternoon Tea Party @ PGH

To commemorate having 5,000 fans on their Facebook page, Palace of the Golden Horses (PGH) treated 100 lucky fans to an exclusive afternoon tea party in appreciation for their loyal support. The event was held on 7th July 2012 and the theme was of course, FUN and CHEERFUL. A fitting theme for such an event. 



There were mini games, lucky draws and the PGH version of the Amazing Race, 'The Amazing Horse Race!'  where the winners would win an iPod Shuffle. I love how everything has to do with a horse in this hotel. It's cool and unique. XD   There was also a special prize for the best dressed.

Checking in for the party! 
Got some door gifts after registration, really like the Facebook 'LIKE' / Thumbs Up sticker and the pins.


One of the best parts of the event. The photo booth! Gotta love it. Props were very well done too. 


  The props were so cool and there were so many of them. I especially liked the ones of the logos of popular social medias like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Flickr, Foursquare and Instagram.


Looking kind of goofy here but it was fun.





Let's Party!!


The high-tea buffet spread were so yummylicious and worth 'pinterest-ing'! An adorable idea for a tea party.

 Look at all the balloons~~~ Balloon frenzy!


Won a prize for one of the mini games where we had to guess a snippet of the song that the DJ played. Juice from the Golden Horses Health Santuary. Check out their website.

My partner won a lucky draw prize. (Left) Should buy lottery number? 1302. LOL. Another prize (Right)  from mini game where we had to give the Emcee an object he asks for. It seems that white hair has some value. ROFL! Poor guy had to pull out his white hair. Hope three more doesn't grow out.  XD


 Now on to The Amazing Horse Race! I did not join though. = (   But look at them go. Woo Hoo!

I was impressed with the organisation of the race. Was very well done.


Anyway, I had a lot of fun. <3 PGH!


Thanks for letting me be one of the lucky few to enjoy this event. PGH ROCKS!
