Unsatisfied... (Friday 11/8/06)

I heard today that KLCC held PC Fair. Not much people came to IT level. I was notified that i'll be situated at a counter with a month old colleague. The counter... Blah, the worst of all the counters and shop. Sales can't hit target, and whoever worked there can't survive long because of the low payment. Others were happily working without worrying their sales target. Me? Yeah, i'm worried too. Just to see how's things going.

This afternoon, my other colleague came and questioned me about his chocolate... It begins with a fucking asshole who's not serious about his words.

Monday. Hmm... I think either Monday or Tuesday. I was asked to help that asshole managing the shop. Supposed only one of three colleagues took off day, and the other one never came too. It's not a big deal for me helping me. I knew this asshole always come to my usual counter and takes some candies from us. And the way he talks, i could doubt he's not a sincere guy. Well, i'm not well prepared for his lies, maybe i thought he'll control himself and would guide me through.

In the afternoon, the customers getting less due working hours. He was in the cashier counter doing some official stuffs. He left his seat and saw a pack of chocolates. Then he said to me, "Hey Andy, here are some chocolates, help yourself." "Who's chocolates are these?" i glanced at the chocolates. "Some customers left few days ago and i thought you might like to have some." with a grin he replied. "Are you sure? I guess i'm gonna get some later. Not expired already, right?" i said while looking at the packaging. "Do i look like i'm lying? Come on, Andy, i'm not that kind of person." he angered. Well, since we're colleagues, there's no way i could doubt him in this issue. So later on, i opened one, and ate it.

Soon, he noticed that i've taken one, and he startled, "Oh shit, you seriously ate the chocolates?" "Wait a minute, something's wrong with it?" i was surprised. "Oh no, the chocolates... Damn, i didn't know you'll eat it. It's that absent colleague's. His girlfriend gave him and he treasured it. He left it there just to look at it and think of his girlfriend everyday." he explained with a terrified face. I was in rage, inside my heart, thinking. Why in the world he was created to be someone who destroys me of being nice to people and now i became someone to be hated. Fucking asshole.

And today, the absent colleague was in rage and seriously looking at me with no respect on our conversation. I tried to tell him it's not what he thinks that i did it purposely. He didn't care too. Then he left. My colleague at my counter said to me, "Huh? No wonder he was angry when i thought of making fun of him. He never get angry on such things. As far as i know him, he could just wack you without even thinking." "So? It's not even my fault to hurt his feelings. It's that motherfucking bastard! He's the one who set me up. Oh, whatever!" i turned without concerning the issue.

Later at night after work, i went to have a light supper with my colleagues. So i was telling out today's issue. So my senior, who's a critic, metaphored a car accident which exampled i hit someone and died on spot. Yeah, it was an accident, and i'm to blame. Right. Then what about this chocolate case? Did i intend to eat it when i wasn't told to, and i'm not to blame? Indeed, i was set up by that motherfucker. And what my senior was signalling that i'm to blame, that i'm greedy to eat. I'm not an unreasonable guy, and that issue has made me one. Now i can't befriend with both of them. Sigh...

There're such issue was created by this asshole. That day, he was serving a customer who's looking for a particular title. He was looking for it and failed, yet he expressed his anger with foul languages at the customer. I was outside having a smoke, when the customer left, he said to his girlfriend who went and joined him that the asshole was rude to him. Damn fucking embarrassing...

Another customer came to look for MP3 cds. He went and said with broken languages, "No MP3 la, boss. No one want to sing anymore la. Sorry leh."

Fuck, i never ever wanted to work with him.

And he ruined my social reputation. And i wished any you readers to post some comments of this issue, what do you think? Am i unreasonable or just a set up? I don't want to listen to my unsincere colleagues. Please tell me. Thanks.

A Man Called Levi... (Thursday 10/8/06)

I realised that time passes by quickly like in a blink of an eye. I started to get used to my boring life, wake up, work, went home, took bath, watched some nice movies and sleep.

Yes, it's a boring life.

Yet, i've targeted to learn as a sound engineer. It's been my dream to become one ever since i started to play drums. Usually every musician would wanna become famous on mainstream music industry, just like any other international bands. Somehow i think it might be tough for me, to become someone famous, with sacrifices of not meeting your love ones, papparazis, can't even do your own personal stuffs, stress and depressed. Sounds nice to become a famous celebrity, when comes to responsibility, not everyone can handle it. You've to protect your fame, more than you protect your self-respect.

I've my own band, and we're not as famous as Butterfingers or OAG. I'm already satisfied being with friends jamming together on stage. Mostly, we thought we're getting the fame, soon as more we perform, we ought to know what's really like to be a musician. Some good musicians not so famous, and i can't really explain why, lots of reasons.

Just being a drummer it's not enough for me to be in profession. I needed to find some resources and knowledge from others. Usually none other sound engineer would like to share such interests with a newbie like me, it could scared them off or just that i'm a chump, an annoying one. (Well, if i don't know shit, i could ask lots of questions until that person fed up.)

So maybe i should start to have myself collecting contacts from the customers who purchase music softwares. It's rare to find such customers. Until today, i was running 2 counters in each few hours. Just in luck, i found a man in his 40's looking at the music softwares. I approached him and started to talk to him.

A: "Yes sir, how may i help you?"
C: "Ah yes, are these suitable for vocal recordings?"
A: "Yes, yes. We only have these 2. Have a look at the descriptions and see if it's suitable for your usage."
C: "Very well. Thank you"

He's very specific at the titles, and i was beside him followed his concentration. Then i thought it might be a good idea if i say something to start with.

A: "Sir, have you tried some music programs like FL Studio Producer Edition? I've used it and it creates fascinating loops."
C: "Hmm... Is that something like Sonar?"
A: "I'm sorry, i'm not so fond at Sonar. Actually what's its purpose?"
C: "Oh, it's a great recording software, it can consist up to 200 tracks..."

I was stunned. Cool Edit Pro 2 can do multi sequences, yet this Sonar was the one which did more? Damn, i was so left out like a dumbass. I always tell myself to become a sound engineer but i never put my effort. I regretted seriously, but it's not stopping to begin in this very moment.

A: "Oh really? That sounds interesting. I did some D.I.Y recordings before and i've used Sound Forge to do so, then i'll use a cheapskate multi sequencer to output."
C: "Yes, i'm currently using Sound Forge too. What kind of instrument you play?"
A: "I play drums. My best pal's a guitarist, which makes 2 of us only."
C: "Oh I see... (then he kept introduce me some good apps for music production rather me doing the job... Embarrassed...)
A: "Wow, you do knew a lot. Are you a sound engineer?"
C: "No, actually it's just my hobby. I did some jobs but not real big deal. I'm interested in doing sound recordings and play some nice beats.
A: "That's great, seems like we have something in common now. By the way, my name's Andy, what's yours?"
C: "Levi..."
A: "Huh? Sorry..."
C: "Levi. You know, the jeans..." (showing his pants yet it's not a Levi's)
A: "Ah... Yes, yes. Levi......"

On second thought, i doubt that he purposely named himself Levi as he thinks the brand name strikes people's attention then curiosity.

Ah ehm... Continue,

L: "You know what, you could call me sometime, or just come to my house and i'll show you my stuffs, ok?"
A: "No kidding! That's great! I'm grateful at your invitation. Let's exchange numbers, shall we?"
L: "Sure, sure. I'll give you my number and in return you give a miss call to me."
(This could be my most embarrassing day...)
A: "Emm... My phone line's cut. But i'll be paying it few days later. I'll help you to input my details at your phone."
L: "Hahaha... Mine's cut too. I'll recharge the credits soon after this.
(You know, you shouldn't ask me to give you a miss call, then we both won't get so embarrassed to each other...)

He decided to purchase 2 titles of vocal recording softwares and was ready in a rush.

A: "Ok, it's done. So i'm considering to spend a day off at your house and experience your music stuffs, i'll call you when it'll be decided. So i hope i'll see you again soon."
L: "Yes, certainly. I'll show you what Sonar could do."
A: "Sure thing, sir. Thank you and do come again."

...And that's the way it made my day, served customers happily and nothing's gonna stop my happy day. Yes, first contact. Then there'll be another one, and another one, duplicates and i'll be indulging with them in the world of sound.

And there's another case later on, it's funny, and not even relevant from the post title. Heh, i thought it might be the best to share with you readers...

Once ago a doctor who came to buy Adobe's collection of softwares. He was in vain after the installation. Then he came back and seek for help. So my senior went and helped him solving the installation error. Therefore, he remembered us and with gratitude from our kindness and friendly, he came back to our counter again. This time he can't save his files after composed. Questions by questions, i answered that the settings were not in proper. He was in vain too, with a desperation look. In that mean while, i hope my lady boss wouldn't be in a right time showing up while i'm at it. Fuck it, i just don't want fuck up the deeds. Thoroughly, i was curious about the saving options. Hmmm... What's with this... Ok, let's try. Just one click to disable such option, then save the file. It went stabilised. The doc's face still in vain, embarrassed at his discoveries. Then he thanked me, gratefully. I say it's already answered the question of his before we solve it. He knocked his head with his bare wrist. I was surprised and told him that it's not his mistake, just not sure which could've done it.

I wonder why he's so modest and honest at his attitude? He can't control himself and used his wrist to knock at his head, showing it's a silly man i am. I recall it back most of the time during work and i could feel he's serious at things he's doing. I found out that he's a health doctor and developed a slimming solution for both sex. And he always been followed by his wife, who looks young at 30's, distinguish and beautiful. She had a mild perfume that's quite a fucking expensive one. And the doctor was an old man. Hmmm... With only man could create success in his life, without relating the looks and growns, it's all about the Sultan's head. In a price of security and prosperous, it's an ideal thought for all well educated ladies. And mostly they're hot mamas. Ah well, does money destroys our trueself? Or love should be something real in life? Or just for the poor men, they'll fucked up themselves with the rejected ones?

I'm home. Huh? What the...

I guessed i was right. A blink of an eye... Time passed by and my blog's a year old, 2333 and over hits at my blog, comments and shoutouts.

I'm older, and older than everyone else. People won't believe that i'm 26. I'm worried at my age now.

I don't wanna say, i'm done for.

It's because i've met the first one. So i should continue my journey.

I'm Paranoid... My Girl... (Wednesday 9/8/06)

Yesterday considered a tiring day, one of my colleague's off day and it's quite hard for me to catch up things like getting to know more about the titles' location. My senior colleague said to me, "Hmm, you're such a forgetful person... It's been a week you've joined and still you can't remember which is where...?" "Of course, your place is such a mess and all was literally swapped from the codes... When a place's a mess, it messes the person too..." I replied. He sighed, "How come i don't get myself messed up?" I laughed and replied, "You're the MESS!"

He's not always around the counter because he had to get the software for the customer from other counter. Whenever a customer asked me about one particular software which it's an odd name to be called, and without hesitation, i'll say "Sorry, we don't have those." or "I'm sorry, those were out of stocks..." It's bad to say "Don't know" or "Not sure", i'll try make the best not to waste people's time and mine too. There're more demand on common softwares like Windows XP or Microsoft Office, Adobe or Macromedia, Autocad or Chinese programs. Mostly i sell DVDs because it's compiled and more additional softwares and games compared with CDs, worth the price.

Ok, that's not really my topic, i'm just trying to implement my feel of the day's work, which makes me tired everyday after...

I was on my way back home, and i thought of posting my One Night Stand post. My girl called, and she was in sort of critical condition. I was calmed at first, cuz i needed to know what's going on. She said her old sickness came back...

She had astma before, and recovered since her school days. She got nose block too, sometimes she gets very hard to breathe until few times ended up in hospital. She told me she fainted and felt some sort of spirits alive in the hospital, could be a deja vu, or... 3 years ago, when i met her, she never gave me the impression that she's a sick girl. She seemed very happy all the time, even when she told me she got scolded by her parents, she told me with grins and laughs, like she didn't mind at all. Oh yes, it's always common for the old folks babbling at young ones. Not for my old folks...

She's very sad and was talking nonsense to me, like she only can live a short life, die in sickness. Just recent, she was in low blood pressure condition during her period and most of that happened, she couldn't work, always have to see a doctor. Now, she said the nose block came back and she had already finished up the medicines, when she paid a visit to a doctor few days ago.

She was afraid to tell her parents, and me. On second thought, she preferred to tell me first cuz most of the time she only tells me when the condition has already happened few days ago. I was kind of angry, advised her to inform her parents about her condition. She said she doesn't wanna make her parents worried, to me it's alright. Heh, it's silly to keep the most important secret away from your love ones, because when it becomes too late, not only the person who kept the secret sacrificed, the love ones will suffer for the rest of their lives, especially me.

"Darling, i don't care if you're sick, paralyse, lost memory or went crazy, i've decided to love you as you're the only one left in this planet. When the time we started to agree to be together, as a trial, i already expected to let us be permanent companions and lovers. I've tried hard to make myself man enough to give a lady like you, the best love, happiness and loyalty. I've stopped listening Chinese songs few years back and you're the one who made me listen back, and i'm grateful to know that we shared the commons most in our life.

We both are gourmets.
We travel and eat as we like most.
We watched movies together.
You came to my gig and watched me perform.
You like to dress as pretty as you want me to love you more.
We listen to songs with same flavor.
You've the little stinky smell i always love to smell.
We always talk about funny things happened in our life.
You always hug my hands whenever i'm around with you, wherever i go.
You always like to kiss my lips and tell me those are your candies.
We always look at pretty girls and shared thoughts of their ratings.
You always bring nice tasty snacks and fruits for me.
You always tell me about your work life, and sometimes asked me for advises.
You got all the attractions for the guys around, when we are together ever since. (you know what i mean.)

So much more to say, and those you've know, i've told you lots why i love you so much, darling.

We have good memories, and it became invulnerable in my heart. My loyalty to you stays strong, and you don't have to worry about me. You're mine, and i'm yours, truly.

Remember that i've said to you, "Truthful and Faithful"? Our own punchline.

The love we have, has created a life target for me.

To be the man of yours forever, and you'll be my lady eternally."

She even asked of to promise her that i should go on if something happened to her. I never promise that, i could only promise her that we'll be together until the end of our time. Thus, she got nothing much to say and with full of gratitude, she's at ease of her sickness. Then, after we end our conversation, i went to cybercafe and post blogs.

You know what, fucking blogger server down... And i've wasted 3 hours trying to upload the gig's pics. I'm sorry that i said it offensively but it pissed me off, i've tried many times uploading it but always failed, and it's silly of me yelling "ma chao hai ah!" whenever it failed to upload. It's not cheap paying by hours and i always tried my best to do it quickly before time lapsed more and more. The uploading picture function got bugs, i think maybe another time i should report it to them.

Then, later i'm home around 2am, i watched a movie halfway and blackout... Was it a bad day for me?

Ah well, i can't have a peaceful moment after work time for today... Fuck it.

Fucking Pissed Off

God Damn It!!!

I tried to post but this blogger server lack like fuck only...

sorry, but i've tried to hold up my anger...

because of the lag, for 2 post i've tried to upload the damn pics already taken my 3 hours sleeping time and costs me rm6...

who's to blame?

me? the stupid one who decided to post it today...

or just not in the right time?

or maybe this is probably a joke for my day, and it ain't funny..

diu nia ma chao hai!!!!!!

ahh... finally released tension...

Short Dreams... (Saturday 5/8/06)

After sending lpc back home, i went back to sleep again, and had some short dreams...

1st, it's about the gig. We had a great performance and most of our school friends came to spectate the scene. Everything went so well that fans are chasing us. And so, after the gig, all the friends with us having drinks together, "post-mortem" our gig's performance. Later on, just about going back home individually, even Yulius and Eleanor came late and bit us well (actually, they both never turn up the gig in reality as they were busy working). Suddenly, i got a very hard feeling of the parting and wanted to cry. I hold up my tears so tight so i wouldn't be embarrassing myself. The pressure seemed so real. Therefore, i tried to force myself to cry once i'm back home. But it's hard to cry after i hold it up too long...

2nd, a Japanese boy. He's like a beggar in the streets which i'm not too sure about it. I'm like non-existence watching his life of begging around. I only can remember that a guy passed him and gave him food instead of money. The boy went so grateful and kept repeating "arigato" while nodding his head. I can feel his gratitude so great, so truly and flawless.

And then, my alarm clocks (one big, one small and one my mobile phone's alarm) rang each of the time. I woke up. On my tv, Teletubbies shown on screen. That moment i realised that no matter how sad it could be, life can be cheerful once in a while, not all the time. Maybe i listened too much of emo songs and i could easily creating images and scenes in my mind about life. We all grown ups, and things getting complicated and complicated, and the further it goes, the more storms and stresses we encounter.

But life still goes on...

One Night Stand... opening act by Airtight Noise (My Band)... (Saturday 5/8/06)

My 5th time performing on stage, and still i can't get over the excitement. It's always been my dream to be on stage performing instrumental music in an opening area with lots of audiences, don't care how much they'll be, as long there's audiences.

Before i work in pc software shop, i've already discussed with my lady boss about this day, i'm gonna have to leave as early at 5pm. Of course, when you're working in sales, you shouldn't be taking off days or absent on weekends, except you've something important to attend. I said that i've a wedding dinner and i should be fetching my family there. Yes, it's a white lie, no matter how, i'm good at convincing an old lady. She's a fine lady who's always with a generous smile. Well, it's my big day and i ought to do the lie once in a while, it's not that easy to be invited as opening act of the scene.

I've been hunger to get some reference from my pal cy, he did burn some 2weeks ago and i was careless, i left the cd at Jordan's car and i only have old reference which is not the one i'm digging in. Hence of listening over and over again in just 5 songs from an MP3 cd... Geez, it's not even fresh anymore.

Supposed the day before the gig, we should practise one last time and i was well prepared to hit some new strokes. Unfortunately, Jordan fell sick. I tried to call him last night after work, few times he never pick up. Last of the call, he said he'll pick me up. Soon he replied he can't make it. I doubt he's too tired from that jamming session and he looked almost partly dying from tiredness. Hey man, sorry that keeping you waiting for the reference to be burned in few cds.

Oh yes, yesterday my girl called me around 6pm. I was quite busy at time serving customers. My colleague knew and he said why bother hanging up her call. I told him it's not nice chatting around busy time, and he replied, "Hey man, she's your darling and probably you shouldn't hang her up, don't worry, just talk to her, we can handle these..." i guessed i met the right colleague to work with, but not for long. Geez, i'm gonna miss the time we worked together, with talks and laughs. Later on, my girl called back. She was fully excited about something at the first call. Yes, she always have good news, a happy, cheerful going-to-be-a-sexy-lady always wanted to tell me all about her office work and friends gossips. So, she said that her name appeared on The Sun newspaper. Her dad entered Sudoku contest and he put her name on that contest cuz he was too old to be entitled winning prizes. So by the end of the month at 1Utama, she'll be there as a contestant entering lucky draw, if she's lucky enough, she could win six figure prize... If really she did, our holiday to Redang next year should be in 5 star suite... Hmm... Is there a 5 star suite hotel?

Another news was, she heard the news about the One Night Stand event held at Desa Sri Hartamas was on Hitz.fm. The attraction was brought up by Tiramisu, a band from Singapore. A band which the vocalist was well known dressing up like a female and shuffling, jumping ups and downs, fully energetic. He even got a signature move like jump up and splitting his legs widely. The songs? Something like punk though. My girl told me she enjoyed listening to 'They Will Kill Us All', as she browsed Super Stella Sound blogsite. I never had time listening to their demos, just email checking and posting. My time's limited...

So, 5pm, after the whole day fully crowded hunger for pc softwares and games, i left my colleagues there and met my girl at Time Square. She was early as i expected. Too bad she parked along the traffic jam side. She's not too fond of KL city centre, no matter how i guided her, she only knew the main roads instead of short cuts without getting in hassles. We reached there at 6pm, cy and his bro ck having meals. After that, we went to Jam Asia and checked out the instruments and some further infos of the event from the organiser, Amir. The sound check was on and we played as we jammed in studios. Everything went well... My drumsticks, my bandages on fingers, my inspiration... All ready.

my girl always dressed sexily just to make me proud... and yes, she's beautiful that day, makes me more energetic!
Our school friends came, Jeremy, Fang Heng and his girlfriend Pui San, Andrik and some few friends of Jordan. Friends always friends, our songs won't be their type, but they know it's our another big day and supporting has to be given, or else... I can't imagine that.

Ck brought MP3 and started recording from our beginning. We resetup a short while. I was ready, with a small clock pasted on the bass drum, clearly visible to aware our time limit. My heart pumps, and pumps, by 7.45pm sharp, cy's keyboards begin to hum...

the first attempt of taking pictures... my girl not very god at handling in calm... this is ck rhythming, while.. can't see properly...
The intro dragged almost about 6 minutes, and i can feel the atmosphere filled with boredom. I've expected this will happen to us, but it's not even our concern, it's just the way it is. Then, i build up the strokes and speed, and getting louder. My fellows digged my signal, and they replied with some high pitch feedbacks. They wanted more and wanted to break free. Yes i know, we're still lack of audiences, we need to pull them into our space of imagination. The crowds started to fill, cameras from far snapping, i begin to blast the toms louder than before, and then... We break free...

I was high, full with excitement and enjoyment, i beat up every motherfucking cymbals and snare, hard stepping on bass drums. There's microphones around the drum kit, and the echo feedbacks were fucking awesome, near similarity to studio sound. Then i brought the band into heavy force... A style mixture of God Speed You Black Emperor and Philip Glass, then A Minor Forest and Explosion In The Sky, blasting the sound of noise and ear-drum-breaking feedbacks, brought to you by Jordan 'the Effector'. A short mind blasting heavy part slowly evolved to slow type to blend out the heavy part, a style mixture of Airtight Noise. Then i looked at the time... Heck, we used to jam the whole damn song without realising the time, it'll elapsed more than an hour. Now, 30 minutes. Sure thing, it's time to switch to something they don't know what the shit are we getting for them, Storm and Stress style. I always wanted to see how's the audiences' reaction, maybe they'll think of, "What's these guys playing after all? It sounded crappy though, couldn't understand at all..." Hah, not so fast judging the book by it's cover... Then, thank god Jordan and cy, they blended Polvo and Pavement style, 3 mixtures all together... Haha, yes, this is what i really want... Yes... I feel orgasm, more than sex, the best to express all my emotional in one single song.

another pic which makes no difference from the first one...
The time? 8.13pm. I feel like ending the song, and i can feel cy and ck's signal was so close to dismiss. I brought back the beats, and i could tell what's in their mind, "oh well, if you insist..." we ended the song at 8.15pm sharp, the style of Airtight Noise. Everyone clapping, as though they knew what really we played, i doubt it. I can feel, everytime a band played on stage and left the stage, they'll be some eye catching attentions from the audiences, usually they won't be commenting in front of the band, they just watch the band wrapping up, watch how they talk, who were their friends, just curious to know how they worked out such masterpiece. I felt none from the audience, and i know they knew nothing about the style we played. Even my girl wasn't happy about our style cuz she thought that we never practise... Haha, i think she's been fooled by our style...

ok ok, i think i'm making my girl angry... these are only pictures she took and i wonder why she doesn't want to take more cuz my hpone memory still can conssit another 100 photos...
Jeremy, our Mat Salleh muslim friend teased cy about the girls being a big fan of his. I thought it was a joke, after our performance, we went for dinner and while on our way to the Square, 3 chicks, 2 were Mat Salleh and 1 Malay shouted, "I love you, Cy!" My my my, it seemed Jeremy's telling the truth but something fishy about the whole scenario. Was it a plan of teasing?


Then, the main course begins, now every band given 45 minutes to play their songs. The first band, Libretto came all the way from Sarawak gave a speech, "Let us show yall KL what Sarawak bands could play..." so it's grindcore, a style with shouting and fast paced drumming that ends within a minute or two, like The Flying Luttenbachers. Can la, ok ok only, the first gig we played at The Colours Uptown Damansara, the grindcore band Dragon Berapi, whatsoever forgotten their name, played the same as they were. But it's alright, it's not too exposed in the scenes so it ought to promote more. Only not much audiences understand the way of grindcore which the songs end so quickly.

The second band, Orbit Cinta Benjamin, something like Fugazi but every song they played, it's almost the same flow and impact. The vocalist sang something like 7 Collar T-Shirt, or Butterfingers. So far, they're not as pop as those i've heard. Not to worry, they're good. It's individual preference after all...

Then, They Will Kill Us All... I mean err... Not really, just the band's name, why worried? My girl's favourite as she downloaded and listened to their songs. Of course, at first i never notice cuz i'm too into the songs with enjoyment. Cy's the one made us realised that it begins to bore us. I'm sorry, maybe if it's their style, or just we're not into those styles anymore. Anyway, they're good, tight. What've cy told me, it never changed my mood. I still love listening to their song, cuz it's energetic, powerful.

Then comes the most welcome, all the way from Singapore, Tiramisu. I felt their style like The Killers, impacting vocals. The vocalist at first wore Bob Marley wig with long moustache and beard, then he changed to his original image. I saw only the guitarist on his right wearing ladies' spaghetti straps, and that's what my girl was curious about. Their songs? Not really my type actually, but radio friendly for all. They played some of their hit songs, some available at Super Stella Sound Blogsite. They were given 60 minutes performing. So all the songs were nice to listen, because the sound in the Jam Asia wasn't that tight, so i can't hear much of the vocals.

After Tiramisu, the last band of the day was KLPHQ. I don't know what it stands for, my pal cy told me this band's gonna blow our mind. Something like Damn Dirty Apes, but more experimental. I was so surprised... That's all the while i'm expecting a band to play something similar to our style... And there they go, with all the noise feedbacks, the energy breakthrough our mind. I can't help myself moving my body and legs. My pair of drumsticks were at my hands, after my band's performance, the Sarawak band borrowed mine. I stroked airly with my drumsticks indulging the flow of the music. It became stronger, powerful, tight and full of noise atmosphere. I can't believe they're so good, and i'm sure it's already time for Malaysian bands evolving towards free noise music. Any songs from them, made me non-stop head banging and dancing, wiggling my legs while sitting down. The audiences packed the stage's frontline, none of them dancing, they maybe curious about those kind of music. Heh, was it something new that you guys never heard before? Then my pal cy told me, one of them is Piut... Huh? He's one of the band member? Damn! I should've know, i was really outdated from local music scenes. Well, Piut is cy's friend, i'm not knowing him so well. I remembered he had given us some references from his influences, and cy really digging it cuz he likes those emo songs, like Sigur Ros or Mogwai. Ok ok, no more Mogwai, it became a common influence to any band who's in indie rock. My girl rocks hard too... Nah, she just closed her eyes, nodding her head and concentrate to the music's flow. It's just about 5 songs and the scene ended.

Therefore, me and cy went to Piut and greeted, praised them for doing the best performance. Seriously, they made my day, watching my girl happily enjoying the whole gig. I really wanted to see her happy, watching me performing like she always wanted to, and enjoying the same taste music together. Of course, we'll never forget about the girls we met there, all sexy and pretty. Wow...

Anyway, me and my girl fetched cy back home, and we listened to our recordings... Aw damn, bad shit. Too bad, i thought i could share it to other close friends i had. So many times of recording experience and still we fucked up at it. I think i must prepare a nice recording gadget for our next gig.

Well, you know, after the gig, me and my girl had our own private celebration... You know, i know la... Hehe...

I thought i might not getting up punctual to work the next day. I have 3 alarm clocks that could fucking wake me up, just afraid that i'm not determined to wake up only...

Ah... There goes another gig... No memories, but pictures blurred taken from my girl, who's not so experience holding my cellphone in still mode. Can't blame her much, she's only used to digital camera. She had one but her brother took it.

So far, i'm fucking satisfied our performance. Like how come?

We got no pressure of getting tightness, it's our nature to be real at music and communication, that's what we've been practising...
