The Good Vibes Festival

I know I am a lot late on this but I thought I would make a little post about the good vibes festival that went on back in August here in Malaysia.

I'm not going to lie or hide it the only reason I went to this festival was because my favourite band of all time the Smashing Pumpkins was playing.  If they hadn't been there, there would be no way I would have made the trek to Sepang.

Enough of my crap on to the pictures!


Wen Qin is rocking the hot dog!

Posing party Animals!

The beer garden



Look it's Ash! oh wait... stupid light

Look it's Ash! ... oh wait stupid auto-focus on guy in hat

Oh look it actually is Ash!

I never heard Ash until now... they were good and the fans were packed for them!

The lights were never my friends trying to take these

This was the closest we could get...

Psychedelic! 

Here is the club... tons of people were there

Between acts no one knew what to do....

Japandroids!


these two had a ton of 'Rock' energy...

I don't know if they are my cup of tea

but it was a damn shame more people didn't watch them

they played hard...

they sang hard


this guy found it hard to get a picture

They rocked....

HAAAAAAARD


this is kinda wild and the dude beside me whipped out his tablet just for that

did I mention the drummer drank hard too?

Modest Mouse

This is a cool picture I think... caught the tail end after Japandroids

Get your *&%$#ing phones out it's the pumpkins

And his arms never, ever tired.

stupid lights

stupid lights part 2

We retreated from  about 5-10 rows back to 20-25 rows back

some guy was drunkenly jumping up and down...

and rubbing me with a beer can... I hope

and the lights...

ROCK ON!
Well there you have it... a story in pictures... I only wish I wasn't limited by crappy technology. I also had a bag filled with so so so many things I didn't need (rain poncho, water, beer, money, phone, blanket, extra shirt).  It was a great festival, but some things were a bit off.  They scheduled some of the bands against each other and had whole blocks of time with nothing on stage.  If times were staggered this might not have happened.  Also some people noticed a shortage of some F&B items such as water. I didn't but that is because I hoarded it (i used my sixth sense).

Good times, Good Vibes, Good day!

ESL Writing Tips - Paragraph Structuring

I've been working on some writing materials for a course I am supposed to be teaching next week, so I thought I would get the ball rolling by making a post about basic paragraph structuring. What is a paragraph? The most basic thing to learn when tackling writing a paragraph is to understand the relationship between the components and understand the definition of a paragraph. Our end result is the paragraph but before that we must have some sentences, those sentences are made up of words, those words come from ideas, and hopefully our ideas have a theme or topic. To sum up a paragraph is a bunch of words on on topic organised into a series of sentences. Simple right?  What are the parts of a paragraph? So glad I asked because I have a picture just for this: So Informative Many learners do not pay close enough attention to the impact that a good topic sentence can have. In order to have a good topic sentence you must ensure that you have indeed made a logica

Urbanfresh at Setia City Mall

I recently made the unfathomable trip from my home to Setia City Mall in Setia Alam Malaysia. I was, of course, in search of interesting shopping and imported food. Some background. For those of you living in Setia Alam congrats on picking a beautiful place to live; however, my condolences as you all live in the bloody boonies!  Setia City is an INCREDIBLY nice mall with a fine selection of shops and F&B outlets, but unfortunately no game stores or Chilis (TGIFridays? Really? Ugh.) I stumbled upon a grocery store that looked quite up-scale and my import sense started tingling. What a classy place with words like Urban and fresh right in the name it must be good. The pillar says "fresh food" for seal's sake so come on! They had this interesting apple display going on at the front of the store.  This is actually a cardboard tree with apples all around it. It is a neat idea... I just hope the apples didn't grow on cardboard! The fresh fruit and veg

Free coffee

well today, as some of you malaysians may know, starbucks was giving out free drinks today between 12 and 2pm.  it was a mystery frapp with no whipped cream (for shame) with red beans or tea jelly depending how lucky(or unlucky) you were. I wasn't really bothered one way or the other because  the love of my life    my favourite barrista was there. In true, giving out free crap fashion the line had to have about 50 people in it and took the better part of 30minutes to get through.  I had once on a whim calculated how much I get paid per minute of life... let me tell you... my free frapp cost me in that equation... lucky we don' count life that way or else we would never find the joy in free coffee.
