Lenka Came to Town!

Date: August 4, 2009
Location: Ballroom, Concorde Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Event: Lenka's press conference in conjunction with 'Lenka Asian Promo Tour'

Talk about having one of your dreams coming true!:D

It all started one fine day when I was returning from our work assignment at the Parliament together with my colleague. As usual, we were stuck in the traffic jam along Jalan Travers when the radio suddenly played a song that instantly caught my attention.

It was love at first sound.

In fact the singer's voice reminded me of a younger, more sugary version of Jewel!:)

And the DJ later mentioned the name of the singer: LENKA.

The song? Trouble Is A Friend.

I LOVE.

In fact, I love the song soooo much, I actually bought her CD a few days after that - no small thingy, as I normally only buy CDs of the singers whom I'm really, really addicted to, like Shakira.

Lenka's self-titled debut album, featuring the hit songs "The Show" and "Trouble is A Friend"

And oh, if you guys have never heard of her song "Trouble is A Friend", check out this super-cool video that's just been released a few days ago. The earlier version of this song's video clip was made shadow puppet style (cool!), but this new version is wayyyy even more COOL!:D

Anyway, when I found out via her Facebook fan page that she's coming down to KL, I was naturally elated!:D In fact, I was planning to catch Lenka's showcase at One Utama on Sunday, August 2, but had to cancel last minute as I was down with fever. But God was ever sooo kind to me, as I managed to cover her press conference, yippee!!! Even happier that I managed to get her autograph on my CD, double yippee!!!

All in all, the only thing that I can say is: Syukur Alhamdulillah...:)

By the way, here are some photos that I took during the press conference:
