Wet n wild at MTV Stage Concert

I’ve been to the first MTV Stage concert last year and it was so much fun, makes me wanted to go again this year. This times I chaperoned two girls to the concert. The only thing I hate about the venue is the traffic jam. It took me nearly an hour get to the parking area from LDP which is less than 3km distance. We had our dinner first at Sunway Pyramid before going to the concert. We were surprised the queue was so long and it ended at the main road. After 20 minutes of waiting, we finally get into the gate.

We missed Bunkface performance, when we arrived at our standing zone, Wonder Girls were on stage. The Korean girls performed a variety of songs, I think they lip-synched. The quintet finally performed its hit single “Nobody” complete with the schoolgirl dance moves. The crowd was now running high on adrenaline but unfortunately the organizers didn’t know how to sustain it for long. We were left standing more than an hour for the next show due to some technical difficulties (my arse!!!). To make it worse the rain came back and it didn’t help but to merely dampen the crowd’s spirit. The audience got restless, and when VJ Utt and Sean appeared on stage, they were booed and even flipped off. We all know the tickets to the show had been given out but that didn’t mean the audience was cool waiting in the rain for over an hour and listening to lame circus-inspired music just because we got in for free.

When Tokio Hotel finally emerged, it took crowd on the spot to heat up to the band. The four-man band played their staple hits with the crowd sang along to. They ended their show with the much-anticipated “World Behind My Wall”, which re-energize the crowd and by then, the earth practically shaking with people jumping.

After another 20 minutes of waiting, it was then the moment everybody was waiting for…. Katy Perry’s awesome performance! She performed her hits songs with stunning electronic visual backdrop. She teased the audience with her new song the “Peacock” was just about a bird before going… “I want to see your peacock… cock… cock… cock!” It got the audience go wild…. really really wild! She closed her show by climbing the scaffolding while performing her last song “Hot and Cold”.

The ending was fabulous and the organizers announced that Wonder Girls would be back on in 5 minutes (yeah, right :P… I heard it took another 20 minutes) but after almost 5-6 hours standing in the rain, we didn’t care anymore about this not so wonder girls group, even if the organizers has announced that Michael Jackson was back from the grave to perform “moonwalk”. We left the venue heading to the car. By the time I got home it was 3am.

Well, no doubt it was a great night of entertainment although with unnecessary waiting involved. Just make sure a “bomoh hujan” is hired the next time around.

After three years of dormancy, I'm finally back on the bike and eager to share my experiences with you all. In this post, I want to talk about the Suzuki SV650, a middleweight-class motorcycle that I recently acquired. Earlier this year, I was in search of a new bike for my daily commute to the office. My small scooter, which had served me well during the pandemic, had become unreliable after I rode it nearly 100km per day. One day, while riding full throttle on the highway, the drive belt snapped in the middle of the PLUS highway. I had to push my bike to the Kajang toll gate before a good samaritan, a Grab rider, helped me push it to a workshop in Bandar Baru Bangi. It was clear that I needed a more reliable and robust bike for my daily commute. Initially, I considered a few entry-level bikes, such as the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and the KTM Duke 390. However, I soon found myself drawn to the middleweight class, which included the Honda CB650R, Yamaha MT07, Kawasaki Z650, Suzuki

Just a month after I bought my SV650, Fiza's friend offered her husband's motorcycle at a very attractive price. Apparently, her husband had given up riding and was willing to let go of the bike. After discussing it with me, I immediately told her to grab it because the mileage was fairly low. They settled the deal in just 15 minutes and over the following weekend, we went to JB to pick up the bike. To our surprise, the previous owner not only handed over the bike but also everything else, including riding jackets, boots, helmets, gloves, and more. Even the bike came with extras like a windscreen, new levers, engine guard, belly pan, tail bag, and bike cover. He said he didn't have time or passion for riding anymore, which was evident from the fact that the bike had only 174 km mileage after more than a year. The bike had not even had the first service yet! Before I bought my SV650, I had considered the Triumph Trident 660, but the price was way more expensive. Fiza, on the

One of the wishes I have on my bucket list is to own a big bike before I hit 40. A long time ago (in the year 1997 to be exact), when I came back from Japan after finishing my studies, I wanted to cry looking at the price tag of big cc motorcycles in Malaysia. Due to all kinds of taxes imposed by the government, they are ridiculously expensive!! Probably, the most expensive in the world! (How ironic, big bikes are cheaper in Singapore than here??) With the fresh grad salary I was getting at that time, there was no way I could afford to buy one. If I want to purchase one, I have to choose between owning a big bike or a car. With family on the way, I had to choose the latter. With a car, I can ferry my family around. Fast forward to the present time, only at the end of last year, I realized I still didn't fulfill this wish. I already have in my mind a few bikes within my budget to consider including Monster, Shiver, Versys, Dorsoduro, 800GS, Z800, and Street Triple. Finally, I ch
