Alexander in Malaysia Showcase ; Pictures & Coverage

Alexander ( A former member of U-kiss ) decided to make his solo debut sometime last year. And where better to kick start his solo career other than putting on a show in one of his favorite countries - Malaysia! There was a crowd waiting right outside the roads of Cheras Leisure mall very that day on 18 December 2011 while they were patiently waiting for Alexander.
The showcase tickets were also sold off at an affordable price so that the beloved Xanderettes could take this opportunity to have a great time with their idol.

He performed his new hit songs , Bad girl , Oh baby! & the title track of his new album, I Just. He also stunned the audience when he performed songs like “情非得已” (Taiwanese Drama Meteor Garden OST), “That Man” (Secret Garden OST) and also surprised the crowd when he danced to LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem.

Here are some of the pictures of the event -

Rania @ Countdown Concert 2012 ; Pictures & Coverage

Did you all know that Rania and Ella (S.H.E) came down internationally and specifically to celebrate the new year with us? How sweet of them to join their wonderful fans at the Countdown Concert 2012 that happened yesterday night at Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach. Gathering local artistes and bands such as Da Monster and Dragon Red, this explosive event was the most epic way to end off the year 2011. Co organized by Magnum Live and Sunway Lagoon, the event promptly started off at 8pm. Rania performed 5 songs including their 3 title tracks, Dr. Feel good , Masquerade and Pop pop pop. And 2 other ballad songs. Swarming with MYRania fans and Ella fans, it was a dream for them to spend the new year celebrations and watching the fireworks together with their idols. Rania were flawless at the event and garnered the most support and screams.

Check out some beautiful pictures I took of our lovely Rania below ;

3rd Wave Music Fan Meet ; Pictures and Coverage

I also attended the 3rd wave music Fan meet, which happened 8pm 14 October 2011 on the same day of the Press Conference. The fan meet is for the 3rd wave artistes to interact and meet their Malaysian fans. As soon as 7pm, there were fans queuing up inside Boulevard hotel already! We were quite surprised to see them, but it was kind of disappointing because we have already been to so many other K-pop events which were swarmed by thousands of people! This Fanmeet is more of a private fanmeet so only approximately three hundred fans attended. These are some of the photos that I took during the fan meeting-



Pastor Johnny, Brian Joo and Alexander on the stage.


Lucky International fans that got up to play games with Brian Joo and Alexander. Fans from Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, and more were present! We were absolutely STUNNED and surprised by brian's and xander's phenomenal fanservice! It was really different.


Dancing?


A eye-to-eye stare with a lucky Japanese fan.


Xander's stare-stance.


Dinner with the stars? Definitely made possible only with Brian and Xander! A table was brought right in! Most of us were quite amazed at some of the things they did. Overall we had lots of fun and laughter together.


Water for Brian?


A group shot with the lucky fans that got to participate.


A behind-the-scenes candid shot with Brian and Xander.


Fans even got to have a specially made necklace just for them! How nice~


A final group shot with the fans once again with the gifts 3rd wave music gave them.

Lastly, they had a fansign for all the fans that bought their album! They signed for every single one that attended, counting hundreds! And thats that! We had fun and enjoyment with the 3rd wave crew and we hope that they would come back sometime again.

A video to reminiscence on the fanmeet-


Stay tuned as these holidays, K-pop events would be really packed as I am attending MAMA2011, MoA 2011, SNSD's 2nd Asia Tour In Singapore and more! Its a holiday jam packed with events for the k-poppers so stay tuned!
