Well, I'm totally against spoilers so I'm not even gonna give you a hint at what happens throughout the 8 episodes, but all I can say is it's really worth watching so head on over to Samsung Malaysia's YouTube channel HERE to watch!

After his performance, the "movie" started, starting from episode 1, which we have all watched but to see it as a full length movie was even better! I was holding in my tears at some parts because I'm never comfortable crying at movies - that's why I watch Glee by myself at home! ;p The ending was just what I.. Wait, I'm not telling you that! Shoo - go watch it yourself!
Anyway, no event is ever complete without photos with friends, so here they are -

Superman (It's Not Easy)
100 Years
The Devil In The Wishing Well
I think the first song gave this band away! Who could forget singing along to lyrics such as
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for, FIVE FOR FIGHTING!! =D
Which other band would hope that he Gives You Hell? It's no Dirty Little Secret that we would never want to hear Tyson tell us that this is The Last Song!
Candles burn, 'cuz the world will always turn
And I'll burn both ends until my fire's out
Lost in the darkness I can still scream out.
Making the Kids In The Street scream out with joy, The All-American Rejects are going to rock your socks off this 27th September 2013!
Last but not least, Brit boy bands seem to taking the world by storm, and when they love their fans even if they can't sing or dance, as long as they can Walk Like Rihanna, well, how could you not want them on Malaysian soil?
I can't even find a place to start
How do I choose between my head and heart?
Till it ceases I'll never know
How do you get up from an All Time Low?
I am SO looking forward to Arthur's Day! Guess KK will have to wait a little longer for my return, cz there's no way I wanna miss this!
With month-long activities leading up to the big day, you're gonna wanna LIKE Guinness Malaysia's facebook page to stay in the loop, or visit www.arthursday.com.my to find out how you can score tickets to the event!

| DJ Ashleybaby after our interview |
A pretty girl with a knack for mixing tracks and getting people to move
their bodies? Now that’s music to our ears! Hailing from Taiwan, DJ Ashleybaby
was recently in town for a special performance during the Johnnie Walker Gold
Label Reserve Limited Edition Launch Party, and Breeze was lucky enough to be
swept off our feet by the 163cm tall beauty.
Hey Ashley! Welcome to Sabah! Is it your first
time in Malaysia?
Thank you!
It is my first time in Sabah, but I have actually played gigs in Kuala Lumpur and
Johor Bahru earlier this year! I’m looking forward to exploring a bit of Kota
Kinabalu tomorrow as I have an extra day before I fly off.
I know you spin a lot in Taiwan, seeing as
you’re from Kaoshiung. Where else have you dropped your tracks?
Oh, I’ve
performed in Australia – Sydney & Melbourne – and also Cambodia so far. My
dream gig though, would be to spin on the island of Ibiza! Pretty ambitious,
seeing as Ibiza is known as the party capital of the world, but I’d also settle
for a gig in nearby Thailand for now!
Looks like you’re a traveller! What else do you
enjoy doing when you’re not creating music?
Yes,
travelling is definitely one of my favourite things to do – after music of
course! I love singing karaoke, dancing (still practicing to get better at
that!), and playing the piano. I also love swimming.
So you have a musical background! What kind of
music do you listen to in your own time?
I’ve been
playing the piano for ten years now. I like to mellow down after all the club beats,
so I really enjoy listening to jazz and classical music. I listen to a lot of
mainstream English and Chinese songs as well.
Cool, so how long have you been DJ-ing professionally?
It’s been
about one and a half years now, and I’m loving it!
Only one and a half years? You spin like you’ve
been doing it forever! What did you do before becoming a DJ?
I studied
fashion design and worked as a makeup artist for three years, specialising in
bridal makeup and magazine shoots. I still help my friends do their makeup when
they have special occasions, but I’m not so good with the hair dos!
What would you say your fashion style is? Is it
different for work and play?
For work, I
lean to more sexy dresses according to the theme of the event I’m spinning for.
For instance, tonight’s event for Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve I’ll be
wearing a flowy gold minidress to match their limited edition bottle! On my
days off you’ll see me more relaxed in t shirts and denim shorts – no heels!
You’re really pretty, do you have any beauty
secrets you’d like to share with our female readers? I’m sure they’d love to
know how to stay looking so fresh after all those late nights!
Well I try
not to use too much makeup when I’m not working to give my skin a rest from the
heavy foundation I have on for gigs. I also make it a point to use a lot of
facial masks to keep my skin hydrated!
Alright, back to your life as a DJ. How did you
get into the scene, and who are your influences?
I actually
got into the business by accident when a friend of mine, DJ Ago from Taiwan,
asked whether I’d like to learn some of the basics. My first “gig” was during
one of his regular shows - while I was
in the DJ box watching him spin, he suddenly handed me his headphones and told
me it was my turn to play! I loved the crowd’s reaction, and now DJ Ago is my
agent. My musical influence comes from a lot of places, but I really love
Planet Funk, Daft Punk and am currently in love with Dutch house DJ and producer Fedde Le Grand!
Do you have any advice for aspiring Sabahan DJs
out there?
Be patient
on the road to becoming a DJ, as things wont happen overnight. As long as
you’re passionate and genuinely interested in music, persevere and practice as
much as you can and the rest will fall into place.
