Mad week!

Dear blog. I am super sorry for not keeping things up to date. For the past week and a half, my life has been filled with madness but positive ones!

My elder sister just got hitched which is good news, the wedding was lovely though I made a fool out of myself by dancing Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' with my cousins as a surprise for my sister. I also sang her favorite song from Hercules 'I won't say I'm in love'. Her wedding team did a good job with everything. If only I had picture to put up. The bad news is that aunties and uncles was asking 'when is my turn'?. Can I just say that that is the worst question you could ever get. However, it was expected...so I guess I'll just let it go in one ear and out the other...perhaps when I go to a funeral I should ask them the same question, no?? lol. Jokes. I got that from someone.

On top of all the wedding events (3 to be exact), last Friday was the PUMA ARCHIVE UNCOVERED PARTY. I had fun. Floor Fever backed me up so big ups and mad love to you guys. And Vandal, always there to back me up and even be my Ludacris, big ups.

Last but not least, I am diggin' my 'LANSI' cap. Thanks Schizzow!

WHY AM I WORKING? by Lloyd Luna

Over the last couple of months, I did a lot of self motivation work and attended talks by International  motivational speakers who are successful in what they do. The seminars were held by Guerrilla Entrepreneurs.

One of the speakers I met during the G.E Series was Lloyd Luna, all the way from the Philippines. He is also an author who just released a new book titled 'WHY AM I WORKING?'.

 "Understanding the meaning of what you do so you'll never hate your job (or boss) again"

Earlier on today while I was chatting with him on Gmail! He showed me the book.

A snippet of his write up about the book:

"Our goal here is to understand the real meaning of what we do so we can liberate ourselves from anxiety, from pain, and from frustration due to our poor understanding of our job or of our work. Without expanding our thinking on this very important matter, our limited knowledge can do us more harm than good."

So if you're confused about what your goal or purpose is in your career, maybe it's cool you can check Lloyd Luna's books! He even offers FREE seminars online!

I personally like the brollies because they have really cool antique looking pieces of jewelry, :) I like antique.

Besides that they have quite a number of new pieces that look like "Tetris" designs.

PUMA Archive Uncovered Event

MILK Club
18 Jln Liku, Off Jln. Riong, Bangsar,

Kuala Lumpur, MY 59100

What is Archive?

PUMA Archive is a commemoration of storied style. The most notorious models were designed at

memorable junctions in time. Each is a reaction to an athlete who brilliantly synced the space between

sport and style— plus an artist whose patterns never cease to play hard.

From the burgeoning skateboarding scene in the 70’s, the break-dancing and hip—hop revolution of the

80’s, to the 90’s when sport and fashion became interchangeable, PUMA Archive demonstrates how

PUMA was at the forefront of shaping and defining so many cultural movements.

PUMA Archive respectfully re-issues these cult classics as well as creating new designs that break all the

molds. PUMA Archive products come with stories and roots that situate them in a grander game—they’re

style with significant substance. Some of these models you will know all to well are the Suede and Clyde.

Island Escape

It was a last minute decision made on Sunday. We left on Tuesday and came back on Friday... I had to run off do my usual getaway thing. I hung out at my fav. spot in Peninsular Malaysia - The East Coast, Perhentian Island.

It was ultimate chill.

Mi was like "Watch me.....now do it!"

Uh...how many flights of stairs did I climb to get up here Sharon?

Me and PUMA?

Funny story. A real one... 

I was over at Pavilion for the MASiF 2010 event. The stage and sound was nice. I always enjoy the big sound system booooming madness, makes me feel like I could sing my heart out....

Anyways.... So then I was just strolling around the mall looking for food and drinks, then up escalator looking at random stuff. I decided to go into the PUMA store to look at some of their items I wanted to get for myself...I saw some really cool jackets, shoes and bags for women.

So...after I walked out of the store I turned around and saw THIS!

I was like... "really?"

Nooooo wayyyy

The original picture.

Yeah, yaa'll probably wondering whether I can scratch or not huh? lol....That's for me to know and for you to find out...I can tell ya I'm no DJ tho! ;)

Watch this space for more updates on PUMA events. I'll be doing a live set for the campaign launch...
Stay tuned!!

Peace...

MASiF 2010

You know I love the big stage, pumpin' sounds, lights and action right? The show I did for MASiF 2010 was great, I had a good time. I'm not sure about you guys though. However, I was a bit upset at how my 20 minute set got cut to a 6 minute set. It is frustrating for an artist to not have accomplished a planned mission. I guess big events tend to overdose on artists, worrying that there wouldn't be enough performances to fill in the silent gaps, apparently, almost everyone got cut...

However, I went up there and did my thing. So a big thank you to the event organizers for having THE MOVEMINT represent everyday from Wednesday to Sunday! Shout outs to Vandal for handling all this for the kids. If it weren't for you...we wouldn't have known artists like Kraft, Sona One, Jin Hackman, SSK, Myself, (drop me more names and I'll add onto the list!) If you're interested, you can listen to more of the local hip hop stuff on MY FLOW .

And not to forget, hollering to the newly emerged beatboxers in Malaysia. They all grew out of no where and just appeared one day... :) Bless! I think the "entertainment" industry should pay a closer attention to the independent scene. We got REAL talent out here.

Also, salute to Malaysian Hip Hop blog. The online tabloid... hehe!

"From Malaysia With Love" CD Review

"From Malaysia With Love" CD review on JUICE

" Nadhira is a breath of fresh air to the R&B scene in Malaysia; come to think of it, there isn't quite an R&B scene in Malaysia, She's gone from being a rock chick to an amazing R&B artist, and on this collection of songs, you can't help but hear the heartbreak. This deput EP is packed with killer Global City Music productions to complement Nadhira's silky vocals, and it deserves a spot with other International female R&B albums out there. The 6 tracks plus 2 remix tracks make this definitely a keeper. Watch out for Nadhira at a gig near you" - Kevin Yeoh
