KL

i was so surprised and impressed simultaneously upon watching the talented, fresh new acts in KL's underground music scene. sent to KL to meet a few publishing house personnels gave me the chance of a lifetime to reunite with my college mates. they were preparing to spend the evening appreciating music, having some feel-good time.

while climbing the steps of CM, i saw a class being conducted by a familiar face. Hishammuddin Rais, quickly recognizing that goatee. well, dude was lecturing on some conceptual thingy to some weird-looking "students" or Socrates wannabes, i reckoned. all i can hear is "anti-thesis...bla...bla.... matter...bla...bla...emm, go get more chairs and to those who had just arrived, i got plenty of seats in front of me....). and that's when i turned around and left for the gig upstairs.

reza salleh. one cool dude. perfect opening act. he's a gifted son-of-a-b***h. melina of tempered mental on bass. i thought i saw sonic youth. not until they started playing. combination of dave matthews, counting crows, john mayer and jason mraz. that's how i comprehended his music.

few other bands.
(moods-singaporean) good. they might need a different vocalist for their version of sade's "no ordinary love". (stone revival-singaporean) ok. not my thing. stone roses meets jet or the killers. well, they're stoned anyway. (hujan-KL) unique. frontman must be high on laughing gas. and the rest was satisfactory on my standards.

many funny stuffs.
a group of street performers from azerbaijan, travelling on weird bicycles was the closing act. their performance was much more weirder. satan-like strings puppet, bottle-juggler accompanied by mini drums and violins and accordion. they could be useful for future radiohead's music video.

tittle-tattle

one old fella sat down with us twenty and thirty-somethings. while having a conversation over coffee, we transcended from one topic to another. and finally, we landed on the recent news of PM's marriage.
i have always treated these kind of stories with less interest. another bad one got through the gatekeeper and made it to the front page, and so i thought.

back to the table, we discussed and shared our utmost disregard of the matter. especially the part where millions SMSs flocked in inviting us to join in with the buzz. let alone those emails.

a friend, dressed like someone continuously refusing to grow up, said that this was all part of the govt agenda settings. the election is just around the corner, and as mr bush would do, he's portraying himself as mr nice guy (or simply someone needing everyone).

and then i heard the old fella said, "isn't he supposed to announce the next election? and yet he's announcing his own ERECTION!"

wtf?

all i want is U2

flea market
this week, our GM insisted on having another round of it. though the public remain hesitant and the traders reluctant, we're much more petrified by the prospect of poor footfall due to Karnival Jom Heboh in Danga Bay. i'll stop watching tv3 right away.

*dave, the fella quoted myr400 but then there's room for negotiation for serious buyer. btw, i know where to get a shiny, tip-top gramophone. you'll want one!

report
my quarterly board report is past due. i'm expected to hand it over after friday prayer. i haven't even started. f**k it, i'm gonna go for my ciggie break.

days before today.
i slept midway thru shrek 3. (i have my reasons. solid)
i went to kota tinggi and ended up changing tyre on my way back. (road tax is for what again?)
we went to kluang yesterday. (this time no ticket. achievement of the week)
we spent two hours jamming in the office yesterday.(my boss is the vocalist, ain't that cool?)

to my brothers out there, please marvel at the beauty of last.fm.....please....
last.fm is the social music revolution.....loooooooooove it!!

these ...... are made for walking

it left a weird sensation streaming down my veins. sometimes goosebumps, always a hard-on.

i'm talking about my social life. i've been meeting a tall list of girls, had sex with two of them and the rest kinda waiting, panting heavily in a queue. no feelings at all, just lust. don't get me wrong, i'm no player. it just happened and i don't think that i'm entirely enjoying it. now i hate myself for it.

for all i know, i might end up losing everything. i believe in karma. now that thought is really scary. i've never been this superstitious. i thought i never was and never will be. i was wrong.

shit. is this just a mere paranoia?
still i can't help but think is there anything coming my way?

seven days in sunny june-flea market

flea market in johor bahru. our first attempt to revive the concept. we went around scouting for traders. companies, govt. agencies, individuals were invited. due to various reasons, a majority of them turned down the offer. we received last minute cancellations, a day before the event, like 70% of them. still, it was considered ok. the last time johoreans ever heard of flea market was back in the 90's. waterfront city, pacific mall, nite bazaar are amongst the fav spots then. they were all abandoned now. the only ever-surviving market is "pasar karat" at jalan dobi, jb's infamous red light district. needless to say, they sell pre-owned goods, or in other words "loots from the break-ins".i haven't downloaded most of the pics so that's all for now. will post more in the future. you'll like it, i'm sure.
