Relationships. Don't we all know the drill by now?

Apart from love, the key to it all is communication (and trust, of course)

A brief but torturous a Long Distance Relationship

Prior to this, I've personally been in a Long Distance Relationship (LDR) too and dang, it was tough to only stay close when you're online/connected to data. I practically depended on mobile data all the time! 

After almost three years, I couldn't do it anymore 

Spotted this interesting short film about a couple named Nick & Amy. Watch it.

So… he left. What's next? And as they say, LDRs never last 

What happened between them? They seemed like they were in it for the long run, right?

And umm.. who's that new guy she was ranting to? I guess we'll find out on the next web-isode.

Did they fight or did they run out of data to continue instant messaging each other? LOL

Well, at least it's a good thing that they have data to continue their relationship virtually, ey?

But then again, this would mean that without mobile data connection, they would lose it all.

Ever since I've got my Blackberry and iPhone, keeping in touch and communicating with my friends, family & loved ones has been a breeze. Why?

Because with this powerful thing called MOBILE DATA on my phone, apps like Whatsapp, Skype, FaceTime, Viber, WeChat, Facebook Chat allows me to chat & call for free.

Constant communication with the people that matter the most! 

Thanks to data, we could virtually be together

Our LDR days are over. We're finally in one place at the same time now.

We made it through, most importantly! 

We've had our fair share of LDR for… a 100 days I think?

I dreaded the mere thought of it. But thank goodness for data.

After all, everything is on the internet now and it costs almost nothing at all to stay in close contact.

It's here! It's here! It's finally here!

When the clock struck 12 midnight on the 14th of December 2012, it marked the exact moment the iPhone 5 began its official launch in Malaysia.

Wowza!

The start of the weekend had barely begun, but Apple fanboys & fangirls had already started queuing up outside even before the outlet opened its doors for business.

That was what I saw at the Blue Cube outlet in Pavilion KL when Celcom launched the iPhone 5!

So many people? No surprise. Celcom is Malaysia's best network with the widest coverage after all

I made my way to the city for a lunch date with Konzy and couldn't help but to pop by the store first to see the iPhone 5 in the flesh with my very own eyes. 

The queue!

Played with both the iPhone 4S & the iPhone 5 in the store and did a quick physical comparison.

Hey hey, look what we have here! 

Compared to its predecessor the iPhone 4S (above), it is physically thinner, lighter, longer and more solid

Holding it in the palm of my hand was a thrill in itself… and you know you're carrying the world's most sought after Apple iPhone 5! But unfortunately, it wasn't mine 

Kinda makes you a notch cooler, methinks 

Yes I am a convert.

I used to think iPhones and Apple products were a tad overrated (maybe I was jealous that I didn't own one at the time?) but the moment I got one to call my own, I could finally see why it was THAT popular 

One of the many new owners of the iPhone 5 in Malaysia!

Why don't you get one from Celcom Blue Cube for yourself?

Two raves in two consecutive days!!? Geez. I must be insane.

Paul Van Dyk's EVOLUTION World Tour is arguably one of the biggest rave parties I've ever been to!

Got there at 9PM

As we were there early, there were other DJ opening acts before Paul Van Dyk's set at midnight.

3 homeboy DJs MisterAriffin, Ian Ross & Phil K Lee (Darkroom Tales) Terrence C and Italian DJ Giuseppe Ottaviani. They hyped up the crowd from 7PM till 12AM.

Still early! The crowd was beginning to build up

With my fellow ravers! Meng, Kerynne, Abel & Shaun 😀

Edwin & I

Homeboys Phil K Lee and Ian Ross!

So while the other DJs played, I kept moving around trying to find a perfect spot to stand.

The DJ console was placed up so high that standing directly beneath it would only allow me to see the tip of the DJ's nose LOL. Hmm.. I kept fidgeting around for a perfect spot with a good view to rave and take photos.

Found my spot. A diagonal left from Paul Van Dyk's DJ console

While waiting for PvD to begin, I chilled with my friends by the cabana

Italian DJ and producer Giuseppe Ottaviani came on scene next

He's produced many tracks and quite a few under Paul Van Dyk's label before too! 

Woohoo!

Psychedelic!

He's pretty damn good

Hey Ed what happened to your glowsticks? haha

The couzzies and I 😀

Keep going! You're amazing

DJ Terrence C was next

Finally, when all the opening acts were over and done with, the clock struck midnight. it was time for the star of the show, Paul Van Dyk to take over the decks for a night of mayhem!  

Just a wee bit excited. Or maybe a whole lot? 😛

A bit of camwhoring just before PvD's set!

And another one! 😀 Teehee

And suddenly my night has came to life even more than it already has. 

Our legendary Trance DJ-producer took to the stage!! I've been waiting all week for this! 

All hail Paul Van Dyk!

Let's get the party started, shall we? 😀

Here's a video of his grand entrance. Better watch it! It's worth your 5 minutes or so

It starts out slowly, but gradually builds the momentum & blasts off! 😀 😀

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf1ACFH_vnI

He was beyond amazing

The stage lighting and  its bass syncing was very impressive!

Crazy!

the lights boomed with every bass drop!

Lightplay was magnificent

The visuals kept changing every few seconds!

Must've cost heaps to make it happen!

World No. 1 DJ, Paul Van Dyk in the flesh. Again, my life is complete 

He played the all-time favorite and famous track of 1998, 'For an Angel' as well as others like 'Crush', 'Time of Our Lives', 'Let Go', 'Cream' and his other summer mixes and played a remix of Tritonal track too.

I swear if he plays for any less than 1 hour, imma scream for an encore!

Gogogo PvD!!

T'was awesome how PvD jumped along with us and raved too!

I could see the crew members preparing a canon-lookalike thing that was expected to shoot or explode mid-way of PvD's set. I was so worried that it was going to be flames, fireworks or dry ice!

As I was directly beside the canon, I didn't want to get charcoal burnt or injured in the process LOL

BUT GUESS WHAT SHOT OUT FROM THE CANONS INSTEAD??

 😀 😀

It was streamers and confetti!

Heaps of it! The canon fired 4 shots of it altogether!

It was raving mad; without a doubt.

The party didn't end till almost 3AM!

With the couzzies by the cabana towards the end of the gig

Thank you Celcom XPAX for bringing Paul Van Dyk down to Malaysia at the XPLAY Future Sound System!

It was an incredible rave

I had an amazing time. Many thanks to Celcom XPAX and Nuffnang for sponsoring my ticket 

As Paul Van Dyk would say, "this is the time of our lives" and I couldn't agree more!

Headed home fully exhausted yet ecstatic from the trippin' weekend!

Need I say more? 😀

Head's up fellow electronic dance music heads!

That's right, if you've been trippin' on this genre since forever, you would know the legendary Trance DJ, producer extraordinaire and Grammy-award winning artist Paul Van Dyk.

With such a big name in the industry, who wouldn't know him?

Guess who managed to stay in the World Top 10 DJ list since 1998?
