G-Dragon - One of a Kind Concert in Kuala Lumpur June 22nd 2013

G-Dragon OOAK 1st World Tour.

I never knew that this day would come. More on that I would actually wake up so freaking early at 8am to 'stand' around at a concert venue. Mind you that there was a freaking haze shit going on and everything was just a blur outdoors. Although my lungs were sacrificed and so is my pocket, I guess I won't do this again. Oh what the heck!

By the time I picked up some crazy friend and fans (again something I wouldn't do normally; people pick me up instead) we got there at about 11am! Freaking hot, hazy, stuffy, sleepy, tired, hungry, thirsty, sweaty...

Rehearsal pass 'stamp' which could be easily wiped off in this sort of weather...Couldn't they think of something smarter? Reminds me of the 13th GE in Malaysia. Anyway, let me start on this rehearsal pass process.

It is widely known that Celcom is expensive...therefore their clients are usually corporate. Younger generation uses Digi, Maxis and so on. in general. I have probably 5% of people on my contact list using Celcom.

But too bad, Celcom was one of the main sponsors therefore thou shall be summon under the whims of Celcom.

How we got the rehearsal pass.

1. Buy and X-pax starter pack think it was RM8 or something.
2. Activate and Reload RM100 into the damn number
3. Download a GD song
4. Supposedly quickly run to this woman from RITS and show her your receipt and get a stamp.

I would like to say...

1. RM8 no problem. At least bring a fucking sim card cutter...and not only for MICRO SIM but also for NANO SIM!!!!! ulu kampung. last minute only brought it out and make everyone feel so excited cause she said there was only 50 passes. Didn't even have the tools to get the SIM slot out. GAY!

2. Activation was done by some dude at the corner, and I was lucky to get someone to reload my phone. I never had to reload a phone in my life and don't ask me to try during such situations.

3. Downloaded the song several times and the song never got downloaded...wonders why no one uses Celcom. pfft!

4. Dear RITS woman manning the table. Firstly, if the fans are excited over getting the pass, it is a sign that they are happy and hyped. You as an organiser's representative, should LEARN how to make the fans hyped and excited. Celcom easily made about ({100 x-pax RM8} x RM100 reload x RM2 song) RM11k. Maybe its not a lot, but I have not included the RM50 reload for special merchandise x the hours you guys were there. If you want to organise a concert please keep your staff updated with the singer's songs and some info. They don't even know what songs he sings.

I never knew I could 'buy' the pass to watch. I felt like I paid for it more than it was luck. You know why? Cause the first 50 passes took forever to be 'GIVEN' out and shortly after they had another 50 passes to give away. !!! Yeah...see how shit the response and advertising is. Took them a few hours and countless amount of screaming thru the PA/ sound system.

Finally we were told to queue and sit cause GD is not ready. I dunno how long we sat on the floor for but I felt like at this age...this was stupid. I felt like a kid being mistreated. Maybe the younger crowd is just harder to control. Whatever it was, I know if anyone of my family saw me...they would laugh and call me stupid.

Project Miracle Malaysia in conjunction with fundrasing for Miracle360.org as headed by Sean from Jinusean. They fanclub managed to raise RM1600++ (i think). Good job!!!

A group of fans with their flashmob. Despite the shit weather and air, they still did a good job! Real fans of GD and Big Bang.

My crazy new found friend Karen who made this possible for me to be able to fly from Australia and supposedly great tickets.

Rehearsal passes are to be returned after use...look at the sad condition. I see no reusable use for RITS...you should have just taken the lanyard back and gave us the passes. 

The empty stage during the rehearsal session. No cameras, no videos during performance. Fine!!!! Understand that it might pre-maturely ruin people's excitement. BUT DON'T FUCKING SCREAM AT PEOPLE'S FACE RUDELY. THIS IS NOT FUCKING NS FOR FUCKS SAKE. DICK HEAD Chinese SECURITY dude SCREAMS AT A GIRL IN FRONT OF ME  AND A FEW OF US BEHIND HER FELT LIKE OUR SOULS WERE BEING PENALISED! (I secretly hope your kids hate you).

Sit down and watch rehearsal...WTF! If I was the singer I would have fallen asleep looking at my boring shit fans. I saw GD's face and it looked like he really hated being in Malaysia.

While exiting the area, an Indian security guy had to ruin it for me. He was holding the gates and he screamed 'Hey, can I release these people?' Excuse me, Do I look like a cow to you?

Too bad, nobody was gonna move that fast cause TaeYang came out and waved.

Sunburnt even before the concert starts

Can you guess who this is?

A semi hardcore fan. Travelled to Japan and Korea i'm guessing for their concerts.

Paid heaps to see lights and silhouettes. 

3 butts 2 chairs. FUCK this

Tae Yang i white... and reflected the white lights ... But he is so cute....... and his voice....argh..faints

Singapore celebrity aka GD hardcore fan. Thumbs up for your passion.

Conclusion: If it was GD performing...I believe there will be and outcry for the amount of SHIT that the viewers had to go thru. 

I had to take photos cause 3/4 the time I can't see shit and half the screen cause the damn lightsticks are in front of me. DSLRssss please....stools.....screaming security, dumb security blocking our view....VIP cannot stand up but the ones at the front and in between rows are standing. How the fuck am I to see anything? Lousy chair arrangements and height. 

I highly think you have a great bomoh behind that allows you to keep getting this contracts and ruining it most of the time for the fans...and so I heard about SS5 in Sg. 

GD in Singapore was apparently much better than Malaysia. (Diff organisers of coz). Don't only do it for money please...you are playing with some people's life savings.

Easecox Diamant - After 2 months

Attended a friend's wedding in Sabah.

I would never in my life thought of buying such a dress as tight ass as this. I am still surprised when I look at the photo. I know I did not lose weight, but sure as hell I got some waist.I have a tendency to shorten myself when I feel that I am towering everyone else in a photo. Cause I am not that tiny and I don't want to stick out like a cactus.

Attended a friend's hens night on the last week of June in KL.

The comments I received from my close friends were never heard of before. I was wearing an old dress circa 2005? Most of my stuff is in Melbourne. I still fit in it and it was loose. Me boobies sorta home.

If 2 months did this...I wonder what the full 9 months would do!!!

For more information, drop me an email at lptjin@gmail.com wherever you may be.

Free consultation available in various countries: Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, Philippines. You just need to drop me an e-mail and arrangements will be made if locations allow. =P

Kakureya Japanese Dining Bar @ Russell St, Melbourne

It's winter, and I felt like having some Japanese skewers aka Yakitori and also some Takoyaki. I just landed last night and needed some simple food. To me it's simple though. But I couldn't think of where I could have this. Took us 2 hours to figure out what to eat until we finally left the house and decided to just drive around Chinatown to see what tickles our fancy. Crossing from the carpark, we saw 2 girls standing outside a stairway with menu in hand. Looked up and wondered...hmm this looks new. 

I took their menu and had a look and lo and behold...this is a yakitori style restaurant. I mean, they have a one pager for yakitoris and also they have takoyaki. 

Conclusion: Our bill came up to AUD 105. The sticks are about AUD 5-8 each. Some come in a pair. The Sashimi was only AUD 11. I would say the price is slightly on a high side...cause of the portions. The drinks are alright. The food gets cold fast. It's winter anyway. I hope they will improve their service as time goes by. The waitresses are a bit 'fresh'. Place is a bit dark too.

Salmon Sashimi - Nothing out of the ordinary.

Takoyaki - Seemed to be lacking in octopus filling. 

Our Yakitori

Bacon and Asparagus - Simple dish and something I can make. But the bacon was cooked well.
Mince Chicken - I wrongly ordered this and I don't like it. It's kinda dry inside and its mince.
Beef ribs - Quite good
Wagyu - Tender and juicy
Nasu Dengaku -  Kinda cute being on a stick but it spurts oil/water when you press it. Like a lotttt

Okonomiyaki - on a stick. This was not bad. I like it alot.

Sashimi Salmon plate no.2 - As you can see, we have an extra piece of Salmon. The slices are way larger than the first plate we got. So you be the judge. I hope they were being nice.

If you are a fan of unhealthy food....grilled chicken skin is a must try. I kid you not. I had the chicken skin image on my mind for a few days and the taste lingered...oh chicken skin.

Dead Man Espresso @ Market St, South Melbourne

Back in Melbourne after a month of being away.

Had the usual 'omg what to eat' at 2pm on a Sunday.

Husband decided to surprise me with something new. He brought me to the Dead Man Espresso.

" After my visit, I have read bad reviews in the past weeks on Urbanspoon. But luckily when I was there, I was fortunate enough not to be greeted and treated that way. Although I wished they did not served everything at one go, cause either we had to let the scones go cold or our main brunches''.

Conclusion: Food was good and prices are reasonable. Service was normal. Weekend Menu review.

We had scones... not too bad unless you compared it with Ms.Marples...but that's like 50kms away.

I couldn't stop looking at my BLT - pork belly brioche 

The aroma of the pork belly is just to die for. I mean, I am not a real foodie but good stuff only gets me going. I eat to live. But I would take this over the Chinese version of pork bellies anytime. This is too good. The brioche/bread/pastry was soooooo good. I ran out of words other than it was DAMN GOOD!!!

 Ways to eat scones Vulture way.

Sam got the Camp fire breaky. Overall was quite good. Thumbs up for not being too oily. Thumbs up for the large portion.

Car Detailing Perth, Australia - By AN Detail

We care about the skin on our body as it follows us wherever we go, how about spending some time and money on something that brings us to where we want to, shelters us from the cold, heat and rain, and protects us from dust all whilst we are getting to some place. This baby got bashed pretty badly by all the crazy winds and dust.

With our amateur car cleaning knowledge and stupid car dealers killing off the paint more, we have decided to give Car detailing a go. Not by us, but by a self-taught professional car detailer. (Well he drives a much more expensive car than us and his car is ''spotless'' it scares me.)

We got the Exterior package on this car. 

Here are some before photos.....

Rain drops keep falling on my head....and they don't go zzzzzzzzzzzz

My dalmation CLK

AN-Detail's magic in the making.............................................................

This photo was after the wash and clay barring, the dust is from cause the MAN was at the polishing?

Up close to the vents. Very clean work, No whirls or scratches. 

Those are sparkles....not dust. Can you see the clouds mirrored on the car's butt?

Side view of my perfectly detailed car.

This was the bonnet of the car. Perfectly mirrors with no ugly lines or historical marks of lousy car washes.

It's been a long time...............

Here is a comparison. I don't have to judge.

*All after photos are taken with a Tamron 90mm Macro lens.

A car detail not only makes your car looks nice and shiny, it also makes you feel proud that albeit all that weather trashing and dust, you still manage to keep the beauty beautiful. AN has definitely gave us that with his excellent service. My car loves him.

Is it expensive? I would say it is affordable the price about right. Labour works is expensive in Australia, and I have been thru many car wash and polish places and they have done pretty much DAMAGE to my car instead. One even broke stuff in another car. That's cause they are mostly unprofessional and don't give a damn and just hide behind their Giant bosses. This is worth every penny. At least you know he is not going to run away with your CDs or pick up your loose coins.

I asked Andrew why car detailing, and he just said Passion for cars. When you meet him, you will understand why. I rather put it in the hands of someone who loves my car as much as I do then someone who gets 15 an hour slogging and hates his job.

How and Where to get this REBORN look?

The Man has a blog on his past works done and can be found at AN-DETAIL

Prices are competitive and he is a friendly guy.

If you live in Perth and own a car, what are you waiting for? Every car needs some love too.
