SARA BAREILLES - THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS TOUR [SINGAPORE]

Sara Bareilles

The Little Black Dress Tour

Esplanade Concert Hall, Singapore

1 October 2014

They say a picture paints a thousand words, so here goes.. 

A night with Sara Bareilles at an intimate setting on the last date of The Little Black Dress tour after over a year and a half. She brought the house down with her powerful yet captivating vocals and took us through hits after hits from all her three records; Little Voice, Kaleidescope Heart and The Blessed Unrest. 

Come back soon, as you have promised. 

GUY SEBASTIAN

 

It has been over a decade since I last saw Guy Sebastian!!

The last time we met guy was at the after-show party of the 2004's edition of MTV Asia Awards, which was shortly after he won the first season of Australian Idol and released his debut album. 

We met Guy at the airport as he made his arrival for MTV Sessions, which marks his long-overdue debut public performance here!! Upon meeting Guy, he told us that he has been on our shores rather often for private gigs. 

Anyhow, as I complimented how adorable his two kids were, he shared that how two little cutie pies are in the shower and he just got of FaceTime with them - HOW CUTE!! :P

Anyways, he still kept his Afro drawing as part of his autograph, which I think is pretty cute ha ha

SARA BAREILLES

Sorry for the lack of updates and Haven't done this in a while but...
O M G ! ! !

Can you believe it?! Just met SARA BAREILLES, FOR THE SECOND TIME!!

She arrived a day ahead the last date of The Little Black Dress Tour here in Singapore and Ms Bareilles was looking as sweet and lovely as I recalled from 2011!!

She still is as friendly and gorgeous and when I showed her the picture of me meeting her THREE YEARS AGO, she looked a little stunned and said "thank you for coming back to see me!"

And she signed a couple of stuff for me before posing for some photos. 

3 years ago.. 

L O V E . H E R !

Really can't wait for her sold-out show tomorrow!! :D 

TATA YOUNG

tata 'sexy, naughty, bitchy' young graced our shores once again after a good EIGHT YEARS!!

tata was in town as part of the THROUGH EYES OF US THAIS photo exhibition and concert at resorts world sentosa in may. 

we met her as she made a guest appearance at the exhibition and she is still as cute as when we first met in 2004, YES TEN YEARS AGO!! 

obviously she didn't recognise or remember us.

she gladly signed some stuff for me and when we asked for photos, she decided that we should do selfies instead! 

HOW ADORABLE IS SHE, RIGHT!! 

i absolutely love this woman and i cannnnnnot wait for her proper comeback!!

and here's some of the selfies that tata took her :P 

POYD TREECHADA

she is thailand's most beautiful transexual and she is making waves all across the chinese theatres and apparently, she has just signed a contract with a hollywood production company. 

poyd treechada was also in town as part of the THROUGH EYES OF US THAIS exhibition and concert where she made a guest appearance at the event. 

she really is absolutely gorgeous and she definitely put some natural women in this world to shame. 

she speaks and understands better mandarin than english, and she is so sweet. 

she stopped to sign some autographs and posed for multiple photos before being hurried away by her manager as she was due for an interview and photoshoot heh heh 

look out for her - she might just be the next big thing to come out of thailand, internationally!! 

no big deal on her autograph and she probably just wrote her name - i could even do a better one ha ha 

EVA LONGORIA

 

Eva Longoria, or more commonly known as Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives, made her maiden's voyage to Singapore some time in May!! 

She was in town for the press conference of luxury Italian jeweller Damiani's 90th Anniversary exhibition at the Marina Bay Sands.

We met Eva shortly after the press conference at the Art Science Museum and she agreed to sign some autographs before being hurried off by her minders for lunch at a nearby restaurant. 

Can I just tell you how gorgeous she looks in person as she does on tele? 

Shame I didn't get a picture to show you her gorgeousness though heh heh

APL.DE.AP

APL.DE.AP - 1/4 of Black Eyed Peas showed up in town as one of the speakers at Music Matters 2014 and we bumped into him as he was wondering around Clarke Quay for a place for din dins.

This must be the third or fourth time meeting members of the Black Eyed Peas, but.. WHEN WILL I EVER MEET FERGIE-FERG AGAIN!!? #RAGE

KATE BOSWORTH

 

Kicking things off in 2014 (just a litttttttle later), we bumped into KATE BOSWORTH while she was in town as part of this year's Audi Fashion Festival!!

We met the Hollywood starlet shortly after fulfilling duties as the brand ambassador for SK-II, looking all red-carpet ready with her hair pulled back and donning a very elegant dress with flora prints. 

Despite looking as if she was heading somewhere, Kate, who was in town with her director husband, Michael Polish, kindly stopped for autographs and pictures for the few of us. 

When I told her that I'm sorry that I'm shaking for I'm possibly starstrucked, she jokingly said, "I'm not so scary, I promise!!" 

I look forward to watching her on the movie screens with her string of release later this year heh heh

Also, since she's just wrapped filming with KRISTEN STEWART, there are sources which reported that she, too, is heading our way alongside MICHAEL HOULT for some filming duties later this year!! 

Hopefully this Hollywood streak does not, ever, end!! HA HA!!

hello

thank you for following this little page of mine.

this interest of stalking some famous people in singapore, and sometimes in other parts of the world, well, hardly has come to a halt for some time now.

with the introduction of the cray cray and unnecessary cip exit/entrance which many record labels and concert promoters have started using is really annoying here which has made it almost impossible to get meet these famous people of late.

and as one gets older, priorities change with the different responsibilities that pops up as well.

but perhaps i should start to reminisce some older photos of the other famous people that's not found here just yet heh heh

oh well, we'll see..

maybe when school gets less crazy, which i doubt, you might see updates of newer famous people? heh heh

cheers

me.

JOSEPH VINCENT

sorry i havent been updating this - clearly, singapore's not been the most exciting city of late and with the invention of the vip exit at the airport, it has been harder than usual to 'bump' into these famous people - DAMN YOU JET QUAY!!

in other news.. i chanced upon one of the many many youtube stars who bumped into town this week as part of the yearly music festival - music matters.

this year, music matters introduced a new event as part of the festival, youtube fan fest!

the festival brought in twenty you tube stars to town to perform over two days including BOYCE AVENUE, DAVID CHOI, RYAN NIGA and CHESTER SEE!! :DDD

met JOSEPH VINCENT after his set at clarke quay while he was roaming around with his band and camera crew

he is rather nice and agreed to pictures and signed an autograph.

here's the other picture we took.

and here's how his autograph looked like - well, i could forge it for you easily, any takers? #justsaying

LITTLE BOOTS

so VICTORIA HESKETH, or more commonly known as LITTLE BOOTS turned up in on our shores for a week of festivities from deejaying at the Audi Fashion Festival after-party along with performers like AZEALIA BANKS, to the YouTube Fan Fest, to Music Matters Live!!

LITTLE BOOTS was here some time last here to deejay at STEREOLOUNGE (currently known as The Royal Room) at Pan Pacific Hotel but who wants to watch her deejay, rather than watching her play LIVE, right? heh

met her as she was going around clarke quay exploring the rest of the other acts playing at Music Matters Live..

minus the size of her feet (therefore she was known as LITTLE BOOTS), she is one cute and tiny wee girl!! she is so so cute no kidding.. 

told her about the story of how i came to 'discover' her back in 2009 when i was in SYDNEY and the radio stations literally had her single 'REMEDY' being 'STUCK ON REPEAT' on their stations..

she looked very happy upon hearing that and she was really funny when i told her she was the reason, for me at least, why i came out to Music Matters this year.. and her reply, 'you're probably the only one!' HA HA!!

too cute is you ask me.. 

she very kindly signed my copy of her debut album 'HANDS' and a photo i printed from the newly released album 'NOCTURNES' :DD

AT SUNSET

these aussies were in town to play at the this year's music matters live and i bumped into them after they were done with their first of the three shows here on our shores, at the beer market!!

i gotta say that the brothers ANDREW and HARRISON KANTARIAS are so bloody cute and tiny and they have such gorgeous eyes. and JAE CURTIS looked somewhat like TAYLOR LAUTNER!!

HARRISON decided to ask me what they should have for dinner and as soon as i suggested the classiest food of them all - MACCAS, both ANDREW and HARRISON looked really happy and excited (er.. why?) while JAE stood glued to his communication device heh heh

no kidding - HARRISON is such a cutie.. those eyes.. <33 how could i have let him leave our shores without a photo of just us two? :P

here's what the boys signed for me :DD

LAWSON

Andy Brown

Adam Pitts

Ryan Fletcher

Joel Peats

so the boys of LAWSON are in town as part of their promo ASIAN promo tour covering THAILAND, SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA and PHILIPPINES before hitting AUSTRALIA.

met the boys as they were making their way back to their hotel from a day of promo which saw them visiting the bird park, a school and an acoustic show at the 987fm Scape studios..

they were really nice and approachable, and were pretty good looking.

however, i would have paid more attention to them if they dont have an ex-V member AARON BUCKINGHAM as their manager HA HA!!

anyways, the lads will be playing songs off their debut release, CHAPMAN SQUARE, tonight and will have another day of promo duties before jetting off to the next destination to continue on their promo tour..

here's what the boys signed for me.. :DD

and here are more chances to catch a glimpse of these lads:

LAWSON AUTOGRAPH SESSION

TAKE-A-PHOTO WITH LAWSON 
7:30PM
HMV Somerset Store (313@Somerset Level 4)

well, you are welcomed!! :P

and here's some more additional photos from meeting the lads..

 

 

AARON BUCKINGHAM (V)

'CAN YOU FEEL IT?'

YES I CAN!! after what seems to be almost a decade of going crazy over one of my favourite boybands, V, i have finally met one-fifth of the band!!

AARON BUCKINGHAM is currently the manager of 4-piece pop/rock band, LAWSON, who is in town as part of their Asian promo your before hitting kangaroo/koala land.

obviously my main aim of trying to see them when they are here was to meet the manager, AARON!!

and so i did and it was really, really fun.

i did meet all five of them (LAWSON + AARON i.e) but i just had to get my priorities right ha ha

the band + manager + crew got off the bus shortly after touching down on our soil and we greeted them before a very semi-tired, semi-drunk AARON spotted what i was holding and pointed in my direction and shouted, "V!!"

guess what i did? i walked past the band and went straight to AARON, being absolutely oblivious to the four - OOPS!!

and then i started blabbering non stop.

AARON asked for my name as he signed on my album and singles, and mentioned 'i don't recall we released that much stuff!!' and also apologised that 'the rest of the boys aren't here with me on this trip, maybe next time'.

and i made him promise, and in reply, he said 'yeah, when we, hopefully, do a reunion tour, we'd come to Asia' - AWWW!!

THAT'S NOT ALL - and as all these craziness was going on, one of the members of LAWSON, whipped out his mobile phone and started taking photos of AARON, the V album + singles and i and made sure he's got a good shot before he made his departure from us even though AARON exclaimed 'GET OFF US!' a few times HA HA!!

he also asked if V was big in Singapore then, i had to be honest and said 'no, not really'

he was quick to come back with 'ahhh so it's just you?' and a giggle ha ha

i then explained that my ex bought the album for me after we broke up because i won't stop talking about the YOU STOOD UP performance on TOP OF THE POPS with them in the shower and then we both laughed and he said 'yeah you liked that didn't you?' HA HA!! DUHHHHHH!!

and so after he made sure he signed everything, i asked for some photos for i was greedy and only one, was clearly not enough.. HA HA!! :P

here's two more with me removing my glasses which he said 'yeah i do that sometimes', also declaring that he was as vain as me.. HA HA!!

before we bid goodbye and goodnight, AARON said 'it was really nice to meet you, Daniel and im sorry if it's a little messy as i haven't really signed autographs in a long, long time' - HOW SWEET IS HE?!?

i look forward to meeting him as many times as i can on this trip ha ha :P

meanwhile, here's what he's signed for me during that 'one-to-one meet and greet' with AARON BUCKINGHAM :P

and now i got my eyes set on LEON PISANI, MARK HARLE, KEVIN MCDAID and ANTONY BRANT now to get my album and singles completely signed heh

also, please, Please, PLEASE, make that reunion a reality..

here's leaving you with some pictures of me in awe.. :P
