Before I left the office on Friday night, a friend suggested a video and I got hooked on repeating it for like 10 times. Kokokaina, has come home to Malaysia bringing the best vibe and talent with her, and now recruiting more cute talents along the way. This one is a duet with Azwar Rashid, 'Tonight You Belong to Me" on ukulele. Enjoy! It does send you down to sappyville doesn't it?! But a cute one of course.
CRACK YOUR FUNNY BONES!
Apparently Governor Palin loves the center of attention when she did a cameo in SNL. Okayla, we cut her some slack for such openness. Hehe.
But of course, HATS OFF to Amy Poehler for an incredible freestyle rapping even while she's like freaking heavily pregnant!

There's not much to report on today. I'm in my lovey dovey sappy moody because it has been raining for a few days now and twice last week, my sneakers were soak wet and I had to buy cheap flip flops to wear instead.
A cool music enthusiast who is also the Co-Producer for Liz Feldman's This Just Out show, Raimy Rosenduft posted my local music suggestion in her blog. Last week, I suggested Kokokaina, Mia Palencia, Yuna and Reza Salleh and she posted in her blog:-
"Abby from Malaysia sent some local Malaysian indie artists; Reza Salleh, Yuna, Mia Palencia, Kokokaina (Malaysian Singer based in LA)"
So if you want me to forward her your songs, let me know, drop me an email at nurol.latif@gmail.com and I'll test-hear your songs and will put on a good word or two about you and email for her consideration okay. Raimy has one of the best ears for good music and I always love her mixes that she put on her blog. You should also check out This Just Out by Liz Feldman because she is one hell of a funny lady.
Remember that Worldwide Photowalk Day we had last Saturday? Well, it was a blast! And I got a picture to prove it!!!

And on Sunday we had a birthday celebration for Syiqin at Yuritei, in Sentul Park near KLPac, so I think the restaurant brings some sort of a zen-ish vibe and although I didn't really taste the food (except for Muid's miso soup), the ambience definitely guarantees that it will not be my only visit there. Plus, watching the lake and koi pond while smoking away, total Zen I tell you.

I'm still a sucker for Uh Huh Her these days, having their songs on repeat and hoping that I can get their Common Reaction cd soon. So enjoy these 2 songs which happened to be my favourites.
What else, what else. Will update this soon when I get the time.
