Good Vibes Festival

Hey hey hey peeps!!

It's going to be a 'not so long entry?' this eve. Well I just would like to update on my upcoming activities... walaah! Hmm I guess some of you already know about this but perhaps some may not? And to those who just got to know about it and wish to grab the early bird tickets... I'm so SORRY for the late post! Huhuuuu.

Good news to all music lovers out there (especially those who were big fans of alternative rock and Britpop somewhere in early 90s), Future Sound Asia is organizing a festival called the "Good Vibes Festival" this coming August 17 at the Sepang International Kart Circuit and guess what?! THE SMASHING PUMPKINS & ASH will be there... LIVE IN MALAYSIA, guys!!! Besides that, international bands like Modest Mouse (love this band too!) and Japandroids also will be there together with our local bands; PESAWAT, Monoloque, Kyoto Protocol, Pitahati, etc and other bands from the Southeast Asia (as far as I'm concerned). And it is said that the festival also features ART, FOOD and FASHION attractions to create the complete festival experience. I mean how cool is that..?!? Woaaa seriously can't wait for it, baby! B)

[Just a little highlight about the local band, PESAWAT here... I really like these guys! They were kind enough to make it on our wedding and that was 4 years back!! They played 2 songs last time, "Mirage" and unfortunately I couldn't recall what was the other song... hehehee. And I would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the ex-members of a local band once called THE ROCKETTS for also attending our reception (two of them are actually my Mr.'s friends) and wutta surprise that they actually composed a new song especially for our big day! SO SWEET. *Wish they'll read this someday..* They were all awesome and we were so unfortunate for not being able to take photos together with the lads last time! *Honestly it wasn't that easy to be at the bride & groom position... :p* Anyway, hope you'll enjoy this official music video by PESAWAT performing "Mirage". Love it!]

Aite, back to the topic! They've started selling out tickets for the early birds at MYR128 (starting from June 17 - 23), pre-sale tickets at MYR158 (June 24 - August 16), door sale tickets at MYR188 (on the day itself!) and VIP tickets at MYR258 (June 24 - August 16). Well I got to know about this info from my Mr. earlier (who is really into Smashing Pumpkins and Ash..!). Just imagine how annoyingly he was... texting and SKYPEing me all the way just to make sure that his pathetic wife managed to get those early bird tickets! *Duh..* Anyway, you can buy the tickets either online via myticket.my or at any authorized outlets as mentioned in their website. Simply visit www.goodvibesfest.com for more event information and highlights, ok? I hope this info helps! So see you there, maybe? Toodles ^3^

Yaa Thoybah!

Assalamu'alaikum and hi dearies!!!

Please note that In Shaa Allah I'll be off to Saudi Arabia for Umrah starting from tomorrow until the end of the month. Hence, I will not be able to respond to you at the time being. Do not hesitate to leave your comments and links or simply give me a shoutout via my Hollabox, ok? Ma'assalamah~ P.s. Just follow me and lemme know! I'll be very happy to follow you once I'm back. No worries...

I really love this famous Arabic song! It has few versions but I like this version the most! The lyrics are very deep and touching that I feel like wanna cry... Anyway, hope you'll like the song as much as I do ;)

Growing Older Gracefully

We want to live longer in this world but often scared of getting older... Why is that so? Alhamdulillah, I'm turning a year older now :)

Anyway, I always love this song by Dixie Chicks (though the video clip might be a bit pathetic but still, to have a preggy lady in is kind of cute!). Who cares because I'd enjoy the song for its lyrics as well as its music... hehe. Hopefully I would be able to make a video of me singing this song (perhaps with ukulele too?) one fine day! *LOL*

LANDSLIDE

I took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain then I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too

Well...

P.s. Aite, I'm going out now. Got to have some fun! CHEERS

Dare to be Forever?

Assalamu'alaikum dearest. Hello March :)

FINALLY. I've missed blogging for almost 2 weeks! Well there are too many things to catch up lately plus I just knew that's going to happen when my Mr. is in Malaysia.. hehe. We have so many agendas (especially for the first few weeks) that I have to stop thinking about my blog for a while or else I'll hear him saying this: "BLOG AND I'LL BLOCK". Hence, no blogging. No blogwalking. So annoying! HUHUHU. Felt like my brain was about to explode with all the ideas and things that I would actually really want to do! Anyway, thanks a lot for visiting The Expatriate's Wife and looks like I've new friends here. AWESOME :D

Aite, just would like to share on my new stuff at the time being. It's the new iPhone5. Actually there's nothing cool about it since smartphones are common nowadays (fine, I'm the one who is a bit outdated here... hahah). Well honestly MY MR. AND I AREN'T BIG FANS OF GADGETS. That's the fact! Seriously. We'd need gadgets but fortunately we're not addicted to them. We just do not want to become their 'slaves'.. that's all. Our previous phones were just the Nokia XpressMusic, which we bought somewhere in 2008 and coincidentally not long after that smartphones were slowly becoming famous (if I'm not mistaken). So that's the reason why we didn't use smartphones earlier... heee. We've been very loyal to our XpressMusic for almost 5 years until mine started acting 'strange' recently. I guess it's about time to change for the new one.. huhu. Anyway, life must go on.....

Goodbye Mr. & Mrs. Nokia XpressMusic (2008 - 2013)
Welcoming the new iPhone5 couple (2013 - ???)

Why we chose iPhone? There's no specific reason for that except we're quite familiar to Apple products. That's just it!! *Wink* Hmm I believe most of us used to remember lots of phone numbers during our childhood (before the cellphone era). Look what they've done...!

Celebrating the newlywed couple :p

The Cinderella's cart

I'm actually very much in love with this Cinderella's cart (my big sis got it during her friend's wedding). It's so adorable and creative! Well when we were little, we sisters used to have lots of Walt Disney's fairy tale animated movies in our videotapes collection. Yup, there were no DVDs, etc at that time! And among my favorites is of course the glamour fairy tale princess, Cinderella. I can even remember most of the dialogues as well as the songs! *Gosh, can't believe that I'm singing them now!!! AHAHHAH*

Anyway, I've tried to search for it in YouTube and managed to find a video comprises all the best scenes and songs from the movie. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to post it here. *I wonder...* However, I managed to find the movie trailer. Hope it might 'help' to reminisce the sweet memories for some of you. How I miss my childhood! BIBBIDI-BOBBIDI-BOO ;)
