We are the In Crowd and We The Kings!

I'm finally done with my fourth semester! More time to blog now! Been postponing this post for so long already. So this is another last minute concert that I went with my best friends and we were chilling in Chatime before we head to the concert venue.

Samantha & Emily! :)

Really AWESOME POPCORN CHICKEN! I didn't know Chatime sells fried chicken like the ones you can get from the Shihlin Taiwan Food shop.

I thought we were late and the line would be super long but surprisingly it wasn't and the venue was not filled up,maybe only half of it was.

Bunkface took the stage to perform first! Still can't stand the lead singer's hair.

This is Kyoto Protocol and it was our first time seeing them and listening to their  music and I gotta say, they are pretty good! Their music is quite funky with catchy beats.

This is Oh Chentaku. I don't really like their music as much as I love rock music, theirs is just not my cup of tea.

After the performances from the local acts, we waited for about an hour for We Are The In Crowd to get ready which is really normal because the sound system in Malaysia sucks literally. Lots of screaming whenever one of the members come out to do some adjusting. I am not familiar with this band but once they start playing,I knew that I was going to like them.PLUS! There are hot guy members in the band! Like Cameron Hurley and Jordan Eckes. ;)

Yes,I took lotsa Jordan's pictures because I thought he was the hottest and the other girls also thought he was the hottest until I turned my head to Cameron Hurley and he gave his megawatt smile at me, I nearly died of happiness so now I am Team Cameron! It's sad that the sound system was so bad that I couldn't hear Taylor's voice really well over the music but it was a good show by them!

After concert look, all sweaty and pumped up for We The Kings!

Bumped into Abu and his friend too! He's a self-admitted We The Kings fanboy. Turns out his friend is Samantha's primary school friend,such a small world. :)

Then finally We The Kings came out and Travis was so sweet and friendly! He apologized about how the sound system is not working and he actually sang most of the songs acoustically which was so beautiful. When all of us sang together,it was like we are one with the band. He has a beautiful voice,no need any retouching at all!

Since it ended really late and the place was kinda dark,I couldn't see my phone but once I got home I saw this!My phone's case turned pink and I was like HOLY WTH happened then I remembered about the heart shaped red paper cause my hands were stained with it too. -_-lll

Well, adios! I'll make sure I will blog more. ;)

Teaser

Just a little clue on what I'm gonna blog about soon! A really nice song from We Are The In Crowd featuring Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low. :)




I'll be going back to Ipoh, my hometown for a night so there'll be no Wi-fi at my grandparent's place but hopefully I'll have time to go to a coffee place with Wi-fi so that I can blog about this and also start on my assignments. I CAN'T WAIT TO EAT IPOH FOOD! XD

My 10 Favourite Food in Turkey.

Another I miss something post. I miss Turkish food a lot! You can't get good ones in Malaysia and some places selling them are overpriced too. I don't mind going back to Turkey to just eat. Someday, I will have my own private jet and I could just fly to Turkey to eat or visit anytime I want. A girl could always dream. :-)

I think I love almost everything I ate there so it was very hard to choose the 10 nicest ones! I surprised many people there like my host families and friends because a petite girl like me can finish a plate of Iskender kebab, ask for more rice (OMG I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I SAW RICE THERE! Can't live without rice. XD) and basically just eat so much. I did gain some weight from that trip which is good cause I need the weight!

My 10 Favourite Food in Turkey(not in any order)

This is Sulu Kofte, meatballs in carrots and potatoes broth. SO GOOD! My host mums' made it for me and I always go for 2nd servings. I miss my host mums' and their cooking. :-(

 This is called Manti. It's something like ravioli and its covered in yogurt and some spices. The best one that I had was somewhere in Besevler, Akin and Bugra brought Anya and I there and it was like a buddies date because my buddy was Akin and Anya's buddy was Bugra. I miss those two boys, they were the few of the nicest people that I have ever met in Turkey.

This one is called Gozleme. It has minced meat and spices inside and usually you roll it and then you eat it. It's like a thicker version of a Roti Canai and with filling. Beside it, is a drink called Ayran, which is plain yogurt mixed with water and salt.

This soup is called Corba and it's so good omg,just thinking about it makes my mouth water!Those white stuff are like noodles and it's like a vegetarian soup. I had this almost every once a week at my workplace over there.

Omg,this one is like one of the most awesomest things that have ever eaten in my life! This is called Dolma cause it does not contain meat inside, the one that contains meat inside is called Sarma.It's rice cooked with herbs and wrapped with grape leaves and it is kept in a container filled with water and usually people will boil it when you want to eat it because it taste better when its hot and it is eaten with yogurt. I have never ate so much yogurt in a span of 1week in my life.

This is a traditional baked rice with herbs and spices and pieces of beef. You can get this in Beypazari.

This is Cigborek! It's deep fried pastry that contains minced meat inside! SO SO SO GOOD! Mouth-watering also!

Akin brought me to this very famous place which sells the AWESOME Cigborek above! Many local celebrities dined there before and it is located in Eskisehir, which is just an hour train ride from Ankara.

Really good roast chicken and....

RICE!!!!!!!!!!! XD The way they cooked their rice is different than the Asian people where we use steam to cook our rice or a rice cooker. They will first cook the uncooked rice with oil on a pan then they will pour boiling water onto the rice and let it simmer on low heat until cooked.

I don't know the name of the dessert on the left but the one on the right is called BACLAVA!!! *throws confetti around* I LOVE THEM BOTH! One of my host mums' made that dessert on the left and IT SO AWESOME TOO OMG!!! Her family and her neighbour has always made a gathering every once a week to catch up and share gossips so I was really happy that I get to join them and meet new people and eat awesome food too. :-)

I saved the best for last. May I present to you one of the most AWESOMEST dessert I have ever eaten in my entire life! THE KUNEFE TOPPED WITH TURKISH ICE-CREAM! Omg, the sweet cheese-like thing underneath the crispy things which I think is coconut. I had this on the last day before I left Ankara thanks to my dear buddy, Akin. :-)

Every dessert fan or anyone who has a sweet tooth must add this to your list of MUST have desserts to eat before you die. So where can you get this super awesome delicious must eat dessert? Well, you can get it in any MADO ice-cream shops all over Turkey! You would be happy to know that they even opened a branch in MALAYSIA! I never got the chance to visit MADO in Malaysia yet but I heard from my Turkish friends that it's just as good as the one you can get in Turkey. :-)

I miss Capoeira

I really do miss it! It's been so long since the classes has stopped in my university because Malcolm, my friend and our teacher has flew back to his hometown in Sarawak. It is also because there's not enough active members to keep the club active and I think I'm the only one who goes for the classes often since Nigel already started working so he can't come too. A few people would only come for 1 or 2 classes then they just don't want to come anymore which is pretty sad. I almost wanted to stop too because I was scolding myself for not being able to do a move, I was stressed from assignments and some of my friends didn't like it that I put more priority in capoeira than my assignments.

There's a small part of me that tells me that, why do you care about what other people think and aren't you the one who wanted to learn a new skill to prove to everyone that you can actually do something and work out at the same time? All these years ever since I was young, my family and friends always say that I can't do anything, I can't do sports and I can't dance and I am not good enough like my little sisters who can run just like my mum. These are the things that destroyed my self-esteem and many of you ask why I look so depressed all the time when I was younger. Ever since that trip to Turkey last year, I gained and learned so much and it has made me a stronger person. So many people had doubts of my trip to Turkey but I proved them wrong! I can do things and I am becoming a better person if I learn to love myself more and ignore what everyone else think of me. Also because I read the book called 'The Secret' and 'The Power' where the main points of the books are always saying think positive and positive things will come to you and give love and love will come back to you. Just like karma.

I love capoeira ever since I started learning it. The music, culture and how everyone treats each other as a family. I even got my first corda from Bantus Capoeira Academy last year on my birthday and that was one of the highlights of my life!

It was held in Lot 10 at the entrance near Isetan. Actually even if you can't find the place, just follow the music and you will be able to find it. :-)

I was watching the people with more experience play with each other. My hair was so long that time, it was almost reaching my butt. Somehow, the pants are really loose and long so what you're going to see next is how rusty I was after not practicing capoeira for so long last year.

My graduation ceremony where one of the instructors will play with me and obviously take me down and since it was my first belt, it was to welcome me into the Bantus family. They called my name first too when I was praying in my head to not be the first one so I was so nervous and I didn't have time to do my warm-ups too.

Professor Rafael made me play with the other students who graduated and I was the first person again. Too bad I had to leave early after I got my cord/belt because my family wants to go shopping but that day I received one of the best birthday present that I have ever had. :-)

Roxy bikini!

I couldn't miss the chance of getting a bikini when Roxy had an offer where you purchase 2 apparels and the 2nd apparel will be charged RM17 only. Such a good deal! So my little sister got 1 set for herself also then we split the costs. My friend got a dress from Roxy too the other day after I told her about the promotion so her boyfriend picked out a very cute dress for her! :)  I can't wait to wear it when I go to Sunway Lagoon this coming June! It's going to be a family affair haha! I'll take pictures to show you guys which one I got. :)

Turns out the results for the Roxy Girl competition will be out tomorrow at 3p.m. They will release the Top 75 in the world so it's going to be interesting to see which one of the Malaysian girl's got in. :)

I just remembered that I have not shown any of my film photos of my Turkey trip last year over here! Just click on the link to be redirected to my Lomohome where I store all of my film pictures and thank god,I did save it there or else it would have disappeared together with my still in repair Acer laptop.

Here's 2 of my favourites! :-D

This is  one of the historical place which used to be a home a long time ago and it was taken in Cappadocia, Turkey, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to and one of my favourite places in Turkey! :)

This is the remaining columns in Efes, Izmir, Turkey. Another beautiful historical site in Turkey! Only bad thing was it was extremely hot that day so I couldn't really enjoy the place as much as I want to.

I split it into 2 albums, one's for colour and the other is black & white film.
