JUNE ALL WRAPPED UP

Can't believe that June 2013 is coming to an end. Half a year vanished just like that! I can't say that I am not happy about June bidding its farewell. June has been nasty - another month filled with emotions and a lot of work (although, the work part I thoroughly enjoy).

I like that I am busy because when I am focused, I have less time for nonsense like emotions, insecurities and other dramas that surround me. But most of the time in June, I find myself longing for that desire to feel a drive again.

But generally, each day, I still feel super blessed because I have the support I need around me and the wonderful people I know have always been there. The next half of the year, hopefully, would be better.

June Highlights

1. The Dragon 

The best thing that happened this June, and I am still very touched, was the fact that I got free tickets to catch G-Dragon and Taeyang live in Stadium Putra. I can't thank my friend, Han enough for the VIP tickets. I truly am very grateful but I am forbidden to publicly announce my gratitude on Facebook.

I am very thankful that I have better seats this round and I don't need to pay for it. Really made up for the previous Big Bang concert seats. I discovered a few songs by G-Dragon that I am currently in love with! 

I must say, the concert was fantastic because you can see the amount of money placed into the production of the whole show. From the 'pyro' to the stage movements, to the props and camera placements, everything was done with perfection!

I am not a crazy G-Dragon fan, more of a Taeyang fan, but I must say, I am very very impressed with G-Dragon. He is an awesome singer, rapper and performer, and at the moment, being unbiased, he is doing a much better job than Taeyang.

I was disappointed with Taeyang's selection of songs that night - as always, he focused a bit too much on his dance than his vocals, and I wish he didn't. It's been awhile since I listen to him do a real song.

G-Dragon's most attractive feature, I discovered that night is his eyes; mind you, it is not just the eyes but the way he glares at you (for lack of a better description, it was almost as if he is electrifying you) that makes 99.9% of the girls at the stadium go berserk with some sort of infatuation that perhaps lasted for 5 seconds? The 0.1% was in fact me going, "oh really, Tammy, his stare?"

Another very noticeable element of the concert is the fashionable fans - full of SWAG! I actually liked it although I don't think I can carry that style. My friend did not approve of the short pants the girls were wearing, and there I was thinking most guys love legs! Haha.

My favourite performance of the night is the song Butterfly; the song was decent but it was how the stage came to life with huge fake butterflies floating in the air that made me fell in love. At that moment, I felt like I have flown away to a much more peaceful place - and really, it was magnificent.

There were a few songs also that got me so hypnotised and I really felt relaxed. It was amazing. Picture this, slow music, nice melody, open air, big round moon. My favourite song - Without You and I found out that it is one of the top favourites among my gang of G-Dragon club friends. At the end of the day, the best night in June.

p/s: Not much photos taken because I was too engrossed in the songs.

2. Hello and Goodbyes

June is also a month filled with farewells and I can't bring myself to talk about this because it still has quite an impact on me. My best colleague friend (oh well, now ex-colleague) left the company. Of course, one needs to always remember that nothing is forever and now that Silvie has a better road, I am more than happy to send her off. I guess, it's just that without her presence, the office lacks the positive energy it needs (or rather, I need). So now, I have no ice-cream mate, coffee mate, fruit mate and all those times we just would go out together to do things or have little chats.

The cutest girl you'll ever know. Silviana Surya Halim aka Silvie

Silvie changed a lot of my perspectives in life in her own little ways. She has helped me just by listening and has always been very understanding about my reasons for doing the things I do. I think, she is one of those friends who gets me without the need for me to say anything. I remember once, I texted her, and say I am friggin' mad. She knew exactly why and what it was. She was spot on. She just knew.

For such a great friend and girl, from the bottom of my heart, I wish her the best and that she finds her way to her dreams and goals. We also welcomed a few new directors/advisors, and it is a good thing I guess.

There are just too many changes and recently, I am finding it too overwhelming - neither in a good or bad way, just overwhelming. I am just not sure how to handle it yet. Hopefully, I will be too busy to try to fit in, and just magically fit in.

3. Instravideo

Love the new feature on Instragram but if I looked prettier, I would have more to do with it. Just saying.

4. MIMMA's Finale

So many things happened that I actually forgot that MIMMA is actually held this month. That was a crazy night full of awesome fights, and I kid you not - I was excited for every single fight! Damn it was madness and I am so impressed with all the fighters and the skills they brought to the cage that night. It was the bomb!

For those of you who missed it, you can check it out on Maxman.tv for behind the scenes and full episodes. I will share more about the results and the fight night in another post.

It was really a great event and I give full credit to the MIMMA team who put all these together. I must say I truly admire their dedication and hard work. The reason MIMMA was a success, I think, it is because it is done with 10000% passion. All driven by the passion to be the best in Malaysia and they all did it. Passion drives people!

Anyway, here's to a better July. I am headed for Bangkok tomorrow on a super last minute getaway. I haven't pack and we almost thought we missed the flight today because we were not sure of the dates.

I am friggin' worried about the projects I have in hand now, but at the same time, I am glad to get to leave this place for a while. I don't mind working in Bangkok, I just need to be away.

Move on Tammy, 2013 has been good to you so far! :)
