EMINEM'S RAPTURE TOUR AT MCG, MELBOURNE

24 February 2019, Melbourne cricket ground. the first time ever i attended a rapper's concert. but this ain't no ordinary rapper. this is EMINEM we are talking about and what a maestro he proved to be.

there were a few pre-shows before Eminem appeared at 8:45p.m. as scheduled. boy was he on time. I only entered slightly earlier at around 6 and sat through hilltop's set. it was my first time hearing them and they ain't bad.

the star of the night was definitely the REAL SLIM SHADY himself and boy could he rap. it was non stop for 1 hour and 45 minutes and some die-hard fans sitting behind me could rap to every song in the list. salute.
the sound system wasn't bad too as I was sitting on the third tier of the stadium yet I could hear every single word clearly.



here are some videos I managed to record. my brother's record and to keep them short too so he could share them with his friends on WhatsApp. these are songs which I am more familiar with.











I can put another 'tick' in my bucket list.

BREAKFAST AT COCOBEI, DOCKLANDS, MELBOURNE

this is definitely a throwback post. went to Melbourne end of February 2019 for Eminem rapture concert with my brother. what a concert it was...eminem could really rap and rapped non-stop he did for 1 hour and 45 minutes.

well as usual, when one is in Melbourne, you can't miss the interesting brekkie served in the numerous cafes you can find everywhere.

this time I landed at docklands. my memory of docklands is Costco...hehe... I just love shopping there.
the cafe I visited there is called Cocobei. quite a new one in the area and I can see already quite popular with visitors around the area whether for dine-in or coffee takeaways.

the food presentation is not bad and the portion is good for the price one is paying. food quality wise- nothing to complain about. we ordered all the below to share.

can't recall the name of this dish from the picture here.

their big breakfast set.

for those who would love to have some seafood for breakfast.

pulled pork with egg Benedict if I recall correctly.

fried chicken 2 ways. can't remember what the ways are.

this is my artistic take from the bar watching the staff doing their work. it's therapeutic when watching other people work when you are on holiday. it reminded me that I was actually on holiday and I had all the time in the world to spend gazing and taking in everything around me without a care for others.

Revival

it's been almost four years since I have posted anything here and I thought I have forgotten the password to this blog.
well, I know I have almost forgotten the name of this blog when I couldn't even find it (I forgot to put the '-' after 2). so it has really been that long.
so what is making me write again?
well, it is just me rambling actually. the new laptop keys are kind cool and the sound is kinda therapeutic. I also feel that I need to practise my English more as I feel that I am having problems recalling words I used to know how to use. so writing is the solution.

what has or has not changed in these four years?

  • still surviving in the not-so-new job....because the workload seems lighter with less things to focus on
  • new laptop....ahem....but still another MacBook Air 13"
  • slimmer and body looks fitter...
  • not buying or that crazy over branded bags. 
  • still love travelling and actually travelling even more times a year now that I can apply leave whenever I want and the boss ain't not that cruel not to approve my leave
  • work wardrobe is getting bulkier though seems the body seems to be able to carry many looks
ok....enough of my narcissism. I will try to post some travel pictures in the next posts. but gosh....not so soon....when I find the time and when I can recall  the details of the trip. 

hello to revival of the blog!
