Sekian lama aku mengenal mu
Sekian lama kau beri kan kasih sayang mu
Oh…betapa hebatnya engkau sebagai wanita
Tiada yang dapat menggantikan,
Dan tiada dua nya diri mu.

Disaat ku tinggi akal sehat ku hilang
Disaat ku tinggi fikiran ku entah kemana
DiSaat engkau… hanya bisa melihat…
Pesan mu yang kau berikan,yang terbaik untuk ku…

Lagu ini tercipta untuk mu
Sebagai tanda terima kasih ku,untuk mu
Lagu ini hanya lah untuk mu
Sebagai tanda terima kasih untuk mu

Disaat ku tinggi akal sehat ku hilang
Disaat ku tinggi akal sehat ku hilang

Nike LeBron 11 Elite “Team” Detailed Look

Posted by & filed under Sneakers.

The Nike Basketball Elite Team Collection will be the debut of this year’s Elite edition for Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Lebron James. The colorway for each pair will be derived from the teams of each respective player, but with a slight twist to it so that it will not be too direct. Today we check out the much anticipated Elite edition of the Lebron 11.

g

Here we see Lebron James’ latest signature model getting a slight technological upgrade, even though the shoe is already packed with it. The sneaker still features both the Hyperfuse and Hyperposite, but with a slight modification to the design that sees the use of the Dynamic Flywire slightly underused. The shoe’s upper is covered mostly in a wolf grey base, and the shoe is accented with crimson colors on the branding and sock liner. To finish of the look nicely, the outsole is fitted out with a camo-like mixture of black/white/crimson colors.

The shoe is already available at selected Nike retailers like Hoops Station and will be going for RM929.

wall of death
An event that happens at heavy metal gigs. Basicall before a particully heavy song (or even during a song before a heavy part) the croud will be split up:
1. either into a big circle with nobody in the centre
2. or into two colums with an approximately 10 metre gap in the middle

Wall_of_Death1

Being a newcomer to the metalcore scene, the opportunity to witness the talent of inspirational people as well as experienced firsthand, the energy of the crowd during the concert came along with the loud expressive music. The vibe is like none other.

There have been news of people being trampled on and some ended up fatal during such concerts. As soon as the band started playing, the crowd crammed towards the front of the stage. Halfway through the first number, a fan is lifted onto the crowd.

Soon after the “Wall of Death” occurred. The crowd then proceeded to create a huge space in the centre and a number of concertgoers started moshing. A few were skeptical of moshing but joined in the fun anyways. There were some got kicked or punched but they seemed to be absolutely fine with it.

When someone fell, there was someone who will pick him/her up. The crowd made sure that he/she is not injured. As shocked as it was to see someone fall and possibly get trampled, it was also pleasantly surprising that there were people who were ready to pick that person back up and made sure that that person was okay.

Thank you for showing that there’s more than meets the eye.

Here’s to you, people of the moshpits. ☺

Cheers!

TSyahmi – EID14 Collection

Posted by & filed under Fashion.

TSyahmi, led by fashion designer Tengku Syahmi is mainly a fashion label that focuses on accessible luxury women’s ready-to-wear. But for  this collection, the award winning fashion designer has turned his focus to men’s and women’s traditional Malay wear that comes with a twist of modernity yet still remaining modest for the upcoming Hari Raya Celebrations which is less than 3 months away.

Usually when it comes to “Baju Raya”, the choice of colours are usually bright ones, but for this collection, we see the label shunning away from that and keeping things slightly more minimal while focusing more on the cut, the fit, and also the materials:- Duchess Satin, Fine Matte Organza, Fine Crepe Satin and Textured Crepe to name a few. Three words sums up this collection, and that is Simple, Stylish, Classy.

For those of you who are looking to get your hands on some of the pieces from the collection, get in touch with them on their Facebook page here, and also follow them on Instagram ( @tsyahmiKL ) for more updates on the fashion label.
