Wifey bought tickets to Nite of Soul and got me to drag my ass all the way up to Keningau. I must admit, dragging my ass was worth it. The event was like a very close personal jamming session. I love how all the artistes were so relaxed and able to perform with full honesty. Most importantly, the artistes were really having fun doing their thang. I love all the performances. There're no clear favourites here. All of them were exceptionally good!! I guess it was because like I said, they were very relaxed so the artistes themselves were able to enjoy their performance as well. I hope more close and personal mini-concerts are held just like this. I really loved it. It's like a local version of MTV Unplugged or MTV Jam Sessions. Below are some photos of the event's highlights.

Teddy Chin - saxophonist extraordinaire

Felix Agus performing unplugged

Jo-Anna really shined with her rendition of Michael Buble's "Home". Although she told the audience that she was having a little sore throat she really brought that song home (no pun intended - LOL!).

Roger Wang the guitar maestro. He rocked big time with Tommy Emmanuelle's "Initiation". He got all the effects of the piece spot on!!

Alvin MY also belted a few tunes besides being the emcee for the event.

All Souls Day

The Disimon Family went to the family burial ground on All Souls Day to pay their respects and remember the elders that have long departed from our lives. There were some sombre moments but I think the mood of the day was actually quite a pleasant one. Some photos below.

Kuala Lumpur Weekend: The family affair

As I mentioned in the previous post, we were in KL early last month for my godson's First Holy COmmunion before we found out that the ceremony had to be postponed. So the whole family decided to make a weekend getaway of it. We went walkabout around Petaling Street, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and the family even gave me a belated birthday dinner!! Who's the happy boy then... LOL!! Below are some photos of the family mucking about in KL.

Waiting for the luggage at the airport terminal.

Baby sis Amanda met us at the airport.

Next morning, we went for a spot of breakfast at Petaling Street. Congee was the menu of the day.

Keelea looking happy with a full tummy.

Big sis Leanne and her son Sean who is my godson.

Jalan - jalan at Petaling Street.

Buying flowers for mandi bunga.

Mum and I having a break from all the walkabout.

The wifey, big sis and her kids in front of Pavilion KL.

It was around Deepavali and Pavilion KL had a Kolam displayed all over their mall.

Early next morning (8.00am) wifey and I were already at Bukit Bintang. McDonald's practically saved our rumbling tummy since it was the only foodoutlet open that early on a Sunday morning.

We walked around Bintang Walk. Yup we're too early... it's empty.

Yes, the wifey lurves Pavilion KL very much

Then off for dinner at Marco Polo Restaurant.

Mum and dad deciding on the menu.

We're just happy having everyone is together.

Keelea is also in an especially good mood.

At last, food arrived and everyone dove straight in.

Marmite Prawn. Absolutely yummy. Unfortunately, I can't eat too much prawn.. sigh...

This is the *ahem* highlight of the dinner. MMmmmMMmmm...

Keelea enjoying her prawns. She especially loves to eat the head and she fondly calls them ice-cream. Sot...

The siblings together. Leanne, me and Amanda.

I had a real blast in KL and I spend a bomb on shopping especially on photo frames from IKEA. IKEA really drained me this time.. LOL!
