It was like Arthur’s Day 2 days ago…

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. :(

Like wild horses…

I feel that wild horses are now running…

for Susan Boyle.

She’s landed in America for the first time, to sing there for the first time, tracks from her very first album, I Dreamed a Dream. Yes, the same name as the world-famous audition song.

She’s had a first-time very transformational makeover, so much that she look much much better now. I’d say she’ll look fantastic even if she’s really riding a wild horse. However the mainstream media strangely never took notice of her new looks. Here’s a very recent photo of Susan, from here.

Lovely?

Anyway, it’s Susan’s first time releasing her debut album (which will be released in November), and one of the songs which Times Online UK says she will sing is Wild Horses (original by Rolling Stones). Hear her soul in the music below, lyrics included:

Well Susan can’t really run free like a wild horse yet. She’s been taken to Disneyland for some Mickey Mouse fun after hordes of fans and media personnel “mobbed” her. Maybe a song of the same name from Natasha Bedingfield will do the trick for now:

So, on a typical working weekday like Tuesday, would you feel running carefreely like a wild horse? ;)

I like Taylor Swift – and she won!

At the just concluded Video Music Awards in New York, one of the more-highlighted events was when Taylor Swift won Best Female Video Award, and rightly so, because You Belong With Me is simply amazing to the core! :D

However, it seems that Kanye West was not really that happy about it – he snatched the mike from Taylor as she was giving her acceptance speech…

Hmmm, since I knew about it from Mashable, I’d like to ask the same question too:

Was it staged, or just Kanye being Kanye?

Anyway, I don’t care so much. I like most of the songs from her album, so I guess I’m a fan of hers. I like her music and her very creative and innovative music – you don’t simply have people going crazy over country pop so easily, like until now. It appears that later on, Beyonce, whom Kanye tried to prop up in the mike-snatching incident, selflessly invited Taylor for a “do-over” (refer here). So all ends well that starts well, I guess? :D This is an opportunity for me to share one of my favourite MVs with you, so here is the VMA award-winning MV – You Belong With Me:
