Like the Chi Rho,

Dec 26

Χριστός (Christós), represented by the two Greek initials Chi Rho, the day commemorating the Holy Nativity is the day of renewed hope. In the midst of excessive commercialization, let us not forget that the reason to celebrate Christmas/Xmas is really much more personal for many people, no matter what the reason.

In 6 days’ time we will enter into a new year again. I hope that the new year will be meaningfully different for you. A positive difference.

Feliz Navidad, and a wonderful new year ahead for all readers of my blog.

Like the Fame Monster,

Dec 19

I’m finally back, like after a loooooonnng while. To those who have been coming back only to find nothing, I’m extremely sorry. However I was really caught up with IRL issues such that I can only post every now and then. A far cry from the days when I used to post like every 2 days and blog-hopped so frequently.

In the future, all of my blog posts will be on issues I think are really interesting to know. I may use my other profiles on stuff that are less important and more personal.

So back to the issue. Like the Fame Monster, Lady Gaga has been furiously churning out song after song lately, and maybe getting fame after fame as well. I’m sure that some of you already know she just released “The Fame Monster” that’s an extension of “The Fame” which made her famous only last year. Apparently she has not let up in the Christmas season – we wonder is it because sales would be better for dance songs in America now?

Like today, I just found that before the Fame Monster euphoria has even cooled down, fans of LG are posting another song of hers. Seems it’s a leak, but well – good things are meant to be shared so I might as well.

Reloaded feat Rodney Jerkins

The lyrics are not out yet, I might update it later if it comes.

And if you didn’t know, LG even sang a sort-of 80s kind of pop dance song called “Dance in the Dark”. The tune’s ok but as usual, nothing LG sings is ever “clean” or unsuspecting. But I guess that’s what many people (including me) like about her. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I like her weird dresses or styles. It’s just that at least she’s a bit more honest about herself.

Dance in the Dark

Finally if you’re really into LG now we recommend you enter the following in the Youtube search box. Do yourself a favor, don’t be lazy please :P

That’s it. Don’t be eaten by the Fame Monster! :D

It was like Arthur’s Day 2 days ago…

Sep 27

And I couldn’t find much information about the BIG event until now. So sad! :(

Fellow Malaysians, you should’ve brought your cameras, iphones, lappies along! Blog about it, post youtube vids, tweet it, take pictures. It would have gone viral! Why so little love for Arthur? I couldn’t say much if this was something not ‘big’ enough to garner attention, but even the STAR did something on Sep 25 itself. This was the BEP performing, hello?

Ok, rant aside. The BEP, as usual was greatly welcomed by the crowd at the Sunway Surf Beach in Kuala Lumpur. Here’s what the STAR (a newspaper company in Malaysia) had to say:

However, aside from a few bloggers who took the trouble to write and took vids, there were so few coverage about the event! Sedih lah (so sad).

Smashpop.net had some pictures of the Arthur’s Day celebration in Kuala Lumpur, check it here.

Chris, a very good photographer I met before, had a lengthy photopost of BEP during the press conference.

In addition, Chris also recorded the BEP in Boom Boom Pow action.

Though I have to say, I still think the G.I. JOE version is better.

However one Youtuber actually took a very high quality vid of BEP singing I Gotta Feeling. Will.i.am even said KL KL KL a few times (KL is the shortform of Kuala Lumpur) – makes it more endearing lol. I must say thank you dear Youtuber, that was really excellent and more useful than you think. I love Fergie’s furry vest ;)

As for me, one thing I regretted was not being able to be present myself. Well, I don’t know but I’d really go all way out to make this viral if I were there! :D

Aside from Kuala Lumpur, the Arthur’s Day celebration was also held in Dublin (Ireland), New York (US), Lagos (Nigeria) and Yaounde (Cameroon). The following clip shows everyone cheering to Arthur in Dublin, much like what happens in the Arthur’s Day ad (I don’t know if you’ve seen it, try search in youtube).

There’s plenty of photos in the Independent.ie for the Dublin celebrations.

Finally, if you want to see more vids for the Dublin celebration as well as some pics of the Lagos concert, go to GuinnessPours.net. Go go go!

It was a bit sad, such a great event had so many people going but the coverage does not compensate as much! And BEP chose to go to KL of all 5 places! That was the greatest honour ever people. :(
