Bon Odori Shah Alam 2011

(http://loong-updates.blogspot.com/2011/06/selangor-bon-odori-2011-shah-alam.html)

Bon Odori is an annual event in Malaysia. It's a grand event which has attracted thousands of people.
This event has exposed me more towards Japanese culture and of course has also exposed me to buy more YUMMY and DELICIOUS Japanese food sold at the stalls during this event! :-)

Gary Chaw Sensation World Tour 2011
(http://loong-updates.blogspot.com/2011/06/gary-chaw-sensation-world-tour-1672011.html)

Gary Chaw, is one of the most prominent famous Chinese singer in Malaysia. His songs has been in the top chart in Karaoke Box, such as 背叛,无辜 and etc.
This concert has reassured me that he is a really good singer,whereby his voice in LIVE is actually even better than his voice in CD.
There's also appearance by a few fellow singers,such as Ah Niu and etc.

Meet Gempak Starz @ IPC Shopping Centre
(http://loong-updates.blogspot.com/2011/07/meet-gempak-starz-artists-ipc-shopping.html)

Have you been a fans of comics/manga? Well,how much do you know about local comics?
Actually there's a lot of high-quality comics in Malaysia as well,such as Lawak Kampus,Lawak Pop Gang,Lawak Shabu-shabu, and etc which can be found in Gempak Magazine.
Well,here, this is the autography session of the local comic artists Little,Nishiki and Keith at Ikano Power Centre.
They are really good comic artists. Instead of just signing their names on my comic books,they actually drew the comic characters on the spot at our autograph page in the comic books. AWESOME!



Chelsea Asia Tour 2011

(http://loong-updates.blogspot.com/2011/07/chelsea-football-club-tour-national.html)

The blue army was in town. Why should we miss the chance to watch em'?
Though is excited to watch the match,the match is somehow kinda disappointing in end in which it is ended up with only one goal throughout the game.
However,it's great to see that Malaysia team is quite strong in defensive during this game. Bravo,Malaysia team!
And it's great too to be able to see the Chelsea players perform LIVE in our National Stadium!

With a surprise, Veteran Actor Yuen Wah and veteran actress Yuen Qiu has appeared as guest Emcee for the night. The concert is filled with a lot of splendid performances by the singer and also some games in the transition between different stars' performance.

Event Details (source from :http://www.airasiaredtix.com/Events/Dreamgirls/)
DREAMGIRLS is a Broadway musical which tells the rags-to-riches story of an up and coming, 1960s girl group, and the triumphs and tribulations that come with fame and fortune. The musical follows the story of a young female singing trio from Chicago, Illinois called “The Dreams”, who become music superstars. It revolves around the era between the late 1960s to 1980s and tells the tale of the journey of ´The Dreams´ with the main Protagonist Effie White (originally played by Jennifer Holliday, and then by Jennifer Hudson in the 2006 release).

The musical, which first premiered at the Imperial Theatre on December 20, 1982, was later adapted into motion picture from DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures in 2006, starring Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé Knowles, Eddie Murphy, and Jennifer Hudson, who won the 2006 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Effie White.

With music by Academy® Award nominee Henry Krieger and book and lyrics by Tony® and Grammy ®-Award winner Tom Eyen, DREAMGIRLS features a few unforgettable hits, including “And I Am Telling You I´m Not Going,” “One Night Only” and “Listen. ”

In 1982, Holliday´s recording of Effie´s solo “And I Am Telling You I´m Not Going” was a #1 single on the Billboard R&B charts; while Hudson´s rendition of of the torch song became a Top 20 R&B single, and a number-one dance hit!

“And I am telling you” - the signature tune of the musical relays Effie´s love for Curtis Taylor Jr., her manager when she refuses to let Curtis leave her behind. The lyrics of the torch song says it all “I´m staying and you ....you´re gonna love me. ”

This highly sought after musical is now brought to Malaysia live in Istana Budaya from 14 to 24 July 2011. It is presented by BROADWAY ACADEMY who has been given full rights to stage Dreamgirls in Malaysia. This production is a collaboration with KPKK, JKKN and Istana Budaya.
