Kenny Rogers Concert @ Genting Highland, Malaysia

Has it been two weeks since I last updated my blog?!!

Time really flies when we are occupied huh???

I've got my Chicago concert to blog about,

trip to Sekeping Serendah,

cari-cari makan adventure etc..

But let me start with my long pending update since 23rd Oct 2012.

Out of desperation to watch Kenny Rogers live in Malaysia,

I tuned into Lite FM from 8.30am till 7.00pm everyday

during their concert tickets give away!

Working with my earphone plugged the entire day

waiting for the cue call, gosh I do look silly!!!

I managed to be the first caller in one of the evening session,

but failed to guess the song played

- which was Crazy by Kenny Rogers.

I almost get myself CRAZIEEEE for not getting

it right despite calling for days!

In the end.. I still get to see Kenny Rogers.

Still a free ticket for me.

Thanks to Barry for the pre-birthday gift! 

It is definitely a memorable one!!! :)

Here's photo blasting on my getaway to Genting!!!




Our expensive tickets of RM252 each.



One pic while checking in bro! 

  

"You are too young for Kenny Rogers concert!"
...said Dato C.J when he bumped into me at Coffee Bean

 


Barry and I are oldies kaki and I'm glad to have someone

who doesn't think Kenny Rogers as just roasted chicken.. :P

We were highly anticipating the appearance of Kenny Rogers at the Arena of Stars..

But it definitely shocked us seeing him..

He looked really old..

With white hair like Colonel Sanders..

He's thinner compare to how his poster portrays him..

Looked frail..

Walking very slowly from one side to another..

Holding on to his chest when singing..

I thought he may have a heart attack anytime soon!

And appear to be too simple as a performer..

Wore a white blouse.. Unbotton sleeves.. Looked like he had just woke up from sleep..

Nevertheless, he's all out in that concert!

The songs are great.. his voice is marvellous.. he still HAS IT!!!

It's the audience instead that bores me..

None is sporting enough to sing along, jive around,

stand up etc when is being called to by the band..

Nevertheless, I was introduced to more of Kenny Rogers hit song such as

We've Got Tonight

Lucille

The Gambler

Coward of the County

and many more..

Oh ya... although he's old, and he looked old,

the truth is..

he is a father of 8-years old boy twins!!!

Ehhhmmmm!!!!

One of my new favourite song from Kenny Rogers

We've Got Tonight with Dolly Parton

The concert ended after an hour (pretty short one huh)..

So we went for late night shopping.. chocolate hunting.. 




Chocolate fondue even at Genting?!!

 

Cannot be compared to dip n dip @ Bangsar..



This is to calm me down... like... seriously... 



And we took lots and lots of photos!

(shhhh... Barry really loves taking photos of / with me...)

This is Barry's definition of motion snapshot




Barry then brought me to Chin Swee Temple..
A temple which I have seen and passed by for so many years..
But was never visited..
So there I go.. praying under the rain..


  

me and my turtle friends..





"Goddess Kuan Yin, I've been a good girl..
please popi popi me ping ping ann ann, jian jian kang kang..
Please also popi popi my family and friends and shield them from harm.."

I'm just so grateful to be able to make it to Kenny Roger's concert.
I wish him long healthy life so that many more could hear him sing.. :)

Best of Kenny Rogers!!!

Who would have thought that a lady like me 

would love listening to Kenny Roger's songs...

Kenny Rogers is 74 years old now..

He started singing in the mid 1950s..

And have written and sang the most wonderful love song ever!!!

I grew up listening to Lady, 

You Decorated My Life, 

She Believes In Me 

Through The Years..

.. just to name a few.

Never in my life I would imagine that Kenny Rogers 

will have a concert here in Malaysia.

It's like.. him? A legend?

.. to sing here in Malaysia? 

Nah.. will never happen..

Surprisingly, he is going to! 

Yes here in Malaysia!

But to my dismay, I could not make it to see him 

on the 23rd October 2012 at the Arena Of Stars @ Genting Highlands. 

The tickets ranges from RM100 to RM480. 

At this point of time, I believe the only tickets available are ones above RM380. 

Kenny Rogers - She Believes In Me (1978)

Kenny Rogers - You Decorated My Life (1979)

Kenny Rogers - Lady (1980)

This song was written and produced by Lionel Richie (one of my favorite singer)

Kenny Rogers - Through The Years (1982)

Mr. Kenny Rogers, I may not see you performing..

But I truly love all your songs..

Right now, just seeing your video from your previous performance 

on You Decorated My Life makes me smile with joy..

I couldn't imagine what would I feel 

if I get to see you performing infront of my very eyes..

My eyes would be teary in the whole two hours concert.. 

And I may just be the youngest audience in your concert!!! Heheheee...

Your voice is soothing, and your song.. it feed my soul... 

Thank you... and thank God for Kenny Rogers!!! :)
