Bruno Mars' last stop for his Doo Wops & Hooligans tour ended with a bang in Vector Arena, Auckland! This will definitely be classified under one of the best concert i've attended to. Aside from knowing the fact that this dude can REALLY sing and was recently caught for possessing cocaine, i didn't have much expectations. But after walking out of the arena tonight, i'm amazed. Well, partially cause he spent six minutes singing "Just The Way You Are" and kept repeating that i'm amazing just the way i am.
Bruno Mars fans..
The crowd was filled with enthusiasm as well despite the cold weather tonight. Thankfully, we didn't have to queue as long as how we had to for Adam Lambert's concert. Once we got inside the arena, we were in for a treat. We saw Bruno Mars walking around freely.
"Bruno Mars Jupiter"
Lol! This guy had people turning their heads for a second cause he did have a bit of resemblance to Bruno Mars himself on top of the outfit he chose to wear that night. But upon a closer look, my friend said he's probably a Bruno Wang or something.
Diafrix
The opening act for Bruno's concert was Diafrix that came from Melbourne. I'm not a huge fan of hip hop music but a few of their tracks reminded me of the 90's style of hip hop which is pretty mean. Apparently they say they've performed in many different states within Australia and claimed that the crowd in Auckland are the best they've ever performed for. I'm sure it's a performer line to please the crowd and what not but i kinda screamed back to them "MOVE TO AUCKLAND!!!"
Crowd anticipating Bruno Mars' appearance
Not entirely filled...
Bruno Mars starting performing at about 9.15 pm shortly after Diafrix ended their performance. The entrance theme to him and his band coming in was over exaggerated in a funny way. He used Also Sprach Zarathustra's "Sunrise" or those who's familiar with WWE would know it as Ric Flair's entrance theme. But that definitely did the trick to make the crowd go wild.
He started off the concert by showing off his drum skills (he's really good at it too!) and then belting out to the first half of "The Other Side" which he did a duet with Cee Lo Green on his album. After that part i was convinced that this is going to be another awesome concert. I still can't wrap around my head hearing him said that he used to play in bars every night just making quick buck and it's always been a dream for him to sing inside an arena. Before he ended his concert, he asked everyone in the audience to sing along to "Just The Way You Are" just for his pride and ego pleasure. Of course, a guy like Bruno will always gets what he wants. With a voice to die for and his mad James Brown dancing skills, women that night both young and old, married and single were dying to be Mrs Mars. Lol! It's really hard to put into words for his performance but i managed to record snippets of most of the song he sang and compile it into a video so i'll let you be the judge.
So my verdict for Bruno Mars: Doo Wops & Hooligans tour live in Auckland? In the words of Philip Lawrence (his backup vocalist) that night doing "The Lazy Song" it's a definite OH MY GOD, THIS IS GREAT! If you do have the opportunity to catch him live around your area, you definitely do not want to miss out on it. He'll have you strip down naked. That's how good he is. Lol!
[Update 17Jan2018] - Wow. To think that 8 years later, this scam is still going on as I'm still getting the odd notifications every now and then with comments on this post. TLDR: If you guys stumble upon this random site because of the APL*ITUNES 866-71-2-7753 charge on your credit/debit card, call your bank immediately and report it as a fraud. If you have an iTunes account and have any bank cards associated with it, you might wanna beware. I normally check my bank accounts every now and then just to be sure that there's nothing fishy going on in there and of course at the same time, just like many of you *secretly* hoping that someone might accidentally transfer $1 million to my account as well. I've had a few cases of credit card frauds happening and so far, banks have been very cooperative with disputing transactions and issuing me a new card (especially my local bank, SCB Brunei. Well done!). So today, i checked one of my overseas bank account and found out tha
Time to put this blog to good use again. Seeing that there's hardly any resources online for what one should do when they have decided to marry a local Bruneian, here's what I can tell you in a quick summary. Brace yourself. Especially when dealing with the immigration department officials and the paperwork requirement. Despite being married for two years now, whenever I have to make a trip to the immigration to renew Calla's visa, my mood instantly turns sour and I just rage mentally. The repetitive paperwork submissions and the waiting time is absolutely ridiculous and if you're unlucky, you'll be greeted with a " Nombor sudah habis " (Out of queuing numbers) just as you arrive at the immigration which pretty much means, screw you - try your luck again tomorrow! And I shit you not, in order to secure a queue number in the morning, one have to start queuing in line by 6 am at the very least while those working at the immigration department is prob
A little late but here we are in the year 2019. It’s crazy because I told myself that for 2018, I was hoping to start blogging a little bit more frequently. And now it’s another year. But in all honesty, 2018 for me wasn’t as eventful as I would like it to be. Managed to get back into the workforce in May and pretty much from then on, it was work, work and work. So much so that I realized in the entire year of 2018, I did not travel anywhere at all. But for New Year’s Eve, I managed to score some decent flight tickets for Kuching via RB. Since I've never been to Kuching before, we decided it would be a nice little getaway to welcome 2019. Boarding our flight on New Year’s Eve at 11:45pm. Experienced the most hilarious countdown to New Year on RB flight. Got in to Kuching at about 1am, checked in to Pullman and pretty much crashed. We stayed for 4 days 3 nights with Pullman Kuching. Personally, if it’s your first time to Kuching, I wouldn’t recommend staying there as
