A little something about Kenny G

...We heart Kenny G...

We had a good, memorable, beautiful experience attending Kenny G's live performance. And, we got to know a little more baout Kenny G's background. Kenny G was born in Seattle, Washington. He was a Jewish, started learning saxophone when he was 11. Kenny G is in the Guinness World Records for holding the longest sustained note on a saxophone: 45 minutes, 47 seconds...this is COOL isn't??? He even showed us how he was able to inhale and blowing the saxophone at the same time, meaning to inhale to exhale at the same second, he called it circular breathing, and he used more than 20 years in practicing this technique...try it, I can't do this! :P

He was just standing less than 5 feets in front of me :) We got a nice seat!

Kenny G and his band, some of the band members were his high school friends, they have been playing music together for more than 27 years!

LKM and I were get to talk to him while getting his signature, we're so proud to tell him that we're from Malaysia :P ....He was kind of gentleman and handsome (or I should say Man :) ), when I asked him if I can shake his hand, he replied with his smiley face: oh yeah, sure...finally, I got a handshake with Kenny G! How good if I don't need to wash my hand! ;)

Kenny G's Live Concert

LKM is the biggest supporter for classical music, and I personally like saxophone alot, especially to Kenny G. I'm always his no.1 BIG fan! We have almost all his CD records soundtrack and mp3. Everlasting, Forever in Love, Jasmine Flower, The Champion's Theme, The Moment, The Wedding Song...etc are some of my favorites.

This Sunday, I will be seeing him in person, his live concert. I just couldn't believe that I do have the chance to meet this Super STAR, it's so hard to express my , wordless to tell how happy and excited I am!***I'm so TOO excited***, really! I was telling my best friend, SM..."this is Kenny G you now...Kenny G, Kenny G...not play play...I'm seeing Kenny G this Sunday!"...She was joking that I made her feel more exciting now! :P

It's hard to believe that few weeks ago LKM was asking me if I want to go for Kenny G's live concert, as I missed out the Jim Brickman's one he attended. Today, I was writing a post about Kenny's G and only 48 hours later, I will be seeing him in person. Excuse me if I sound overly excited, but it truly was a miracle for me. If I were in M'sia, I don't know if I will be able to go for his concert, nor even meet him in live.

I really appreciate it. I thank LKM for treating me, as one of the B'day gifts of mine... ;)

It would be great if I able to get his signature, or perhaps a handshake. It's overwhelming and very, very touching...isn't???

A very thankful Thanksgiving!

A very meaningful, thankful, colorful 2009 Thanksgiving celebration with a bunch of friend! This year, we celebrated the Thanksgiving at a friend, Eunice's place. But why is it so meaningful??? This probably will be the last gathering for few friends as they will be graduating and leaving St Cloud to other states, and back to M'sia as well. And very Yippie that we have no turkey for the dinner, everything is vegetarian...we have an American and Indian new friend're joining us this time......lastly, we managed to celebrate Richard's belated B'day as well!

Arrival the night before the Thanksgiving!

My new project...

It has been a long long time I didn't knit, since 5 years ago- a scarft for my buibui. This year the cold weather visited MN earlier than usual, and I decided to knit one for an aunt here as X'mas gift. She is about 60 years old, instead everyone said she looks like 40 something, which I strongly agreed. Everyone loves her, for her kind, generous, noble-spirited, and beautiful heart. I got her a mixed-colors yarn, with the combination of blue, purple, pink, yellow and green. Just like her colorful and meaningful life! =)

Raspberry Cream Torte

If I would have a chance, I wish I can take a baking course in the future...

Early snow in the fall...

This year, we had snow earlier than the regular season, two snows within 3 days. Supposely, Oct is the season for beautiful orange-yellow leaves, but now we see the snow in the fall. As you can see from the picture, the trees are still green and red. A friend of mine said that we don't really have summer but fall, and no fall but winter in MN...which I think it is very true...I think...I'm a strong polar bear XD

Lousy driver with the GPS...

I do not drive oftenly after I came to St Cloud, it is not because my driving skill not good, but I have a very talented Ahmad-LKM, so I'm the talented passenger too :p I only drive very very short distance to the nearest grocery market and post office.

Today, I wanted to go to Walmart, just located 12-15 mins from our place, yet I can't recognize the way (remember I'm the passenger *wink*). I told LKM that I need to use the GPS...as expected, he stared at me...**speechless**...Guess what happened?Even with the GPS, I got lost...took the double of estimated time to both Walmart and back home...made more than 5 times detour on the GPS, as I missed all the instructions from the GPS...

When I told LKM, he just shaked his head and said..."next time you drive..."

My best friends here laugh at me when they know that I need a GPS for Walmart...

I'm very good at driving & recognizing the way...but I become a lousy driver when this comes with the GPS...my brain, eyes, ears, hands and legs cannot function at the same time =p
