PTX

Pentatonix

Some might not know them, others might know them through Pitch Perfect 2. Who are they you may ask. Well, they are an a capella group. Unlike other fans that get to know them through the Sing Off competition, I get to know them through my lecturer. We were having a short break after an hour of lecture so the lecturer decided to show us a video of them singing "Evolution of Music", a combination of songs from the 11th Century to Call Me Maybe. Its mind blowing when they started singing because their voices is the only instruments they use to sing, no physical instruments was use. I started following them from the moment my lecturer showed me their video. The second video I started watching was "I need your love". Their voice are so synchronized, a melody was created by adding another harmony with just their voices just like a beautiful fireworks continuously adding another one to make it looks more beautiful. Their songs were so amazing that I wished that they would come to Malaysia 1 day to perform.

I remember there was a day when my friend told me that they were going to perform in Singapore. And I'm like "wwwwhhhhuuutttt", why not Malaysia because the distance between both country is "so close but so far away". LOL. Then beginning of April the organizer announced that they are having a tour in Asia and Malaysia is one of the country and it'll be on 30th of MAY! Hallelujahhhh! It's definitely 1 of those concert that you shouldn't miss and it should be on the bucket list because it is hard to find a group or a band that uses just only their voice to make music. I get the cheapest ticket because that is the only price that i can afford but who cares, being able to listen to them live is the main point. Knowing that they will be coming, I started joining all sorts of contest to try my luck to win better tickets and meet and greet passes. I did manage to win better tickets but I'm kinda upset that I didnt manage to win meet and greet passes.

30th May 2015

Started queuing at 4pm on that day. And i have to say it is worth waiting at 4pm under the super hot sun because their concert is mind blowing. The way how they sing is exactly how they sound in the CD. I read online that people were saying they no longer sound like the way how they sing in the closet room or kitchen. Being able to listen to them live makes me think that what I read online is wrong because THEY SOUND EXACTLY THE WAY HOW THEY SANG IN THE CDs THAT WE LISTEN TO OR SPOTIFY.

They started off with "Problem"

"Telephone"

The very first song they compose that made PTX exist. 

Evolution of Music.

The very first song that make me fall in love with them. 

When they were about to perform "Standing By", Scott ask the audiences whether do they own an Iphone or Android and the audiences answered yes. So he requested us to switch on our flashlight. When Avi started singing the view looks like this. 

It's kinda amazing when everyone switch on their flashlight.

That's Christmas To Me. 

Who says you can't sing Christmas when it's not December? They can choose others songs to perform but they chose this instead. It's a very heart warming song and each time I listen to it, it makes me wan to tears. So many great memories appear whenever I listen to it. 

Scott requested the audiences to be quiet while they perform this song because they're using 1 microphone to perform. Im glad because the fans can relax and chill a little while they perform. The audiences were amazing and they kept quiet, what shock me was even though Scott didn't request the fans to switch on their flashlight, the fans just switch on. That moment is amazing, so heart warming.

On My Way Home

After performing their last song, most the fans doesn't believe that the concert has finally ended including me. I kinda kept looking around to see whether people started leaving or just sat down wanting for more. But apparently, people were leaving and it's a sign that the concert has officially ended. I was hoping for more, wanting for more and most importantly I wanted them to sing I need your love because i heard them rehearsing that song but they didn't sing.

Words can't describe how grateful am I that PTX came to Malaysia. Being able to stand 2 feet near them was "on cloud nine" kinda feeling. 

Scott, looks super duper handsome in real life, has amazing voice.

Mitch, definitely hit the high note well, crashing the stadium with his amazing high note.

Kirstin, looks gorgeous in real life too and I love the way how she say rather be but she didnt speak much tho.

Avi, the crowd goes wild when he said thank you with his bass voice. I think the entire crowd gone wild whenever he speak with his bass voice.

Kevin, I think it's hard that one plays the cielo while beat boxing but kevin did it! 

It's definitely tired to perform without a band or any physical instruments but they proof to everyone that they can and they did it. 

Please visit Malaysia again!

Ps, sorry for all the grammar error.

Failure makes a person to success.
I sometimes do wonder whether is it true or not.

It's a bitter sweet feeling seeing your fellow friends able to further their studies and you can't. And there comes a time where you blame yourself for not putting triple the effort compare to others. Who to blame when you yourself does work extra hard right? You blame yourself more when your parent says its alright, it is not your fault that you failed, you just doesn't have the luck to pass.

I've always been a person that vanish or mission in action when I felt like I can no longer blend in or sensitive about losing prestige. Am too afraid that i cannot blend in with the conversation that they are having. Maybe, I'm afraid that they might look down on me or maybe it's because I'm afraid of the question they might ask, I don't know...

But for the past few weeks and days, I realize that people do cares about me. I'm the one that pushes people away. I was shocked when one says :" XXX and I were wondering when didn't we see you around for the past few days." and "I wish that you actually understands that we're always there for you". Maybe at some point where i finally understands that "friends are like stars, you dont always see them but they are always there". 

How does it feels like when your friend thinks that you ask them to do thing that you doesn't like?

To be honest, I could have ask y'all to help me do many things that I doesn't like but I didn't. Maybe I'm over reacting or maybe I treated this friendship to seriously but it feels terrible when one thinks you used them.

Maybe I'm being to childish to ignore everyone and maybe I'm just too tied up to myself. So many doubts.
Am I too concern on myself?
Am I too selfish?
Am I too inconsiderate?

2 years, we known each other for 2 years but no one ever gives a damn about.

Achievement

So the results for SPM and STPM are out. 

So a lot of positive talks through news and social media.

But, there are a few that aren't satisfied with their results and they might start thinking no matter how hard they study they still couldn't achieve what they want or make their parents proud. 

You might say that I have no rights to say that but hey, I do. Because i just experienced the same thing a month ago. It feels suck, right? And apparently when you start comparing, things gets worst. You'll start comparing with those who always studies last minute and still pass with flying colours whereas you studied like months ago but you still fail. That's how exactly how i feel. 

Think this way, the SPM and STPM you have right now, it's just a paper for you to get scholarship and maybe a wider range for you to further your studies. They say that the higher education you have, you better chance for you to get a higher position when you are working. But education can't always help you right? Imagine a person who always score A's but when they it comes to reality, they always fail while those who doesn't have any A's the percentage of them to success is high. 

You might not get scholarship to further your studies but you can work harder when you further your studies. People can judge, can talk bad about you and you have the right to ignore them and prove to them you, too can score good grades.

Past

Some says if you kept thinking about the past it means that you are living the past while others says it's good to reminisce the past because it reminds you the mistake you have done and to make you a better person.

I think it is nice to reminisce the past because it reminds you how happy you used to be and how everyone seems to be friend-ing you.

Decided to reminisce the past today. It reminds me how everyone used to be so close despite the age difference and no one give a damn about your appearance.

Remembering the very first time i joined this camp.

Remembering no matter how you complain, you still need to piggy back a child heavier than you.

Always encourage each other no matter what happens

Give surprises to those whose birthday falls on the camp month or 1 month before and 1 month after camp. Never fails to surprise the birthday people.

And then the moment that someone finally saw your hard work and approved you to take care the children. Gave you more confident. 

 Kids, they are not easy to deal with but they always makes you happy. :)

No matter what happens, we're all in this together.

The moment you realize being a leader towards the youngsters isn't your thing.

Traveling together to other states.

Your senior that has to further their studies but still came back to visit us once in a blue moon makes the elderly happy too.

Doing silly things together without thinking about the reputation.

Helping other groups even though you can choose not to.

Rock climbing together with heavy bags on.

- Helping others to tie their ties when time is almost up.-

But none of this seems to exist anymore. Gang exist, people only be friends with you if you have a beautiful appearance, they only approve you if you have a wealth family. No matter what reason you tell them, their answer will still be "you are being self centered". No matter how hard you try to blend in, you still can't seem to join in. So right now, leaving silently will be the choose made, people might think it's childish but it's better than trying so hard to blend but you can't.

People change, but memories remain.

 

 

Relationship.

The thing about relationship and love, it either makes you happy or break your heart to pieces. 

Some people put looks of effort to impress the person they like but instead of being accepted they were rejected. Some does not need to put effort to impress the person they like and they were being accepted instantly. 

Guys should always respect girls they say but they doesn't realize that girls sometime do need to respect and treat guys like how they should be treated. When it comes to relationship, people tend to ignore the advices that were given and some might even say we're over reacting and that is when everyone started to regret for not listening. 

To be honest when you do not have a feeling towards a person or you are no longer available, please do not be afraid to let the person that was once likes you know that you are taken instead of letting that person have the hope that you might accept him. 

One of the cruel thing that human can do is that the people around you knows that your crush has been taken but you are the only one that still clueless because everyone is afraid that you couldn't hand it. The truth is none of us could handle it in the first place but at least we can think it through instead of finding it out yourself and being clueless because if that happens most of them tend to shut everyone out.
