Eagerly anticipating international superstar Jason Derulo’s performance, the crowd roared as DJ Joe Murphy appeared on stage in a Harimau Malaya jersey.

The haze was all right until near the end of MTV World Stage Malaysia 2015. It was a long day for us but the crowd had a longer day queuing for best spot and front row. You guys are really awesome audience for #WorldStageMY =) I was impressed with Sekai No Owari's music as it is kinda smooth to listen to. Carly Rae Jepsen is happily dancing around the stage and singing out her magic songs. Jason Derulo is no doubt talented, energetic on the dance floor and love his charisma on the stage. Apink? Cute and sexy with their dance move for sure!! VJ Alan was a funny guy during the Press Conference haha. He wanted to become Apink's male member and got "gun-pointed" by Jason Derulo.
Check out my FB Page and YouTube for some snippet video/photo of MTV World Stage 2015 kay??
PS: VIP Pass does allow one to skip the queue but the view is kinda disappointing... Thanks XPAX Zone for allow media friends to have a better view of the live show!! Oh ya, among all photos, I love those taken by Kristian Dowling. He manage to capture the moments in a live show perfectly. Looking forward to learn and shoot with him in future!!
