Hai. Hello and Assalamualaikum. It's been a while my blog being silent.
Haha..kinda busy with life but still jobless. Sounds weird huh? Well. Memang belum dapat kerja lagi tapi menyibukkan diri la kea suruh jaga niece, ulang alik kejap stay Ketiau, kejap kat Petagas.
Hurmm..okay.. lemme share something. There's something good gonna happen on this Friday.
Guess what?? Yaa I know its public holiday and other than that, a rock band all the way from Korea will be held showcase here in Kota Kinabalu...Yes! At my hometown. I'm so happy.
Do you know who they are? it;s ROYAL PIRATES!
The members is James Lee, Moonchul and Sooyoon
To be honest, its rare to have KPOP artists to perform here in Sabah and I can count how many are coming here. But recently, Ailee and Davichi just come to perform for a private event in Sutera Harbour. AIA Korea event if not mistaken.
So, another artists came here just amused me. They choose Sabah first then fly to Kuala Lumpur for their event there on Sunday.
Mommy...im sooo excited. Its been a long time I didn't attend any Kpop showcase or concert. rindu!
Organized by Hotlink Malaysia.
I don't know if I'm able to meet them tomorrow because their flight scheduled to arrived in KK on tomorrow night.
I really wanna see them and watch the event with my eyes.
