I was very excited that JUNK will be backing a local diva, Candy Cheah for a Tiger Beer show at KL Live on Jan 12th.

I’d say for a non full time musician like us (All came from IT background, except for SX who is still studying Telco Engineering), we managed to pull off a decent show playing different interesting genres, including Samba, Bossa, Cha Cha, Techno, Fusion, Soca and etc… And Candy Cheah was just simply amazing and very accommodative and very supporting of us.

Too bad Brett can’t join us last minute due to work commitments. Luckily CY is willing to stand in for us and spent time with us practicing.

We had 3 practices before the show and it was tiring but a fun time nevertheless. It feels good to be able to spend time with fellow musician friends to play music. It was truly a great experience. 

The audio crews for the show (From REDANTZ) is also worth mentioning as they are one of the best crews that we have worked with. They are very very friendly and willing for accommodate our requests. The sound check was simply short and sweet. It is one of the shortest sound check that I’ve ever had.

In a nutshell, it is cool experience to be able to play music these bunch of people.

Thanks Chris, Hung Siew and Onn for helping us out on the photos and videos.

P/S : I almost collapse after the show … Doing backlines and playing for shows is very very tiring…

Here’s a wedding march song that Melissa and I have worked on the past few weeks.

It’s a song specially produced for Jacob and Yap’s wedding

Hope you guys will like it.

I feel very very sorry for not updating this blog often as December is a really busy month for me as always.

Wishing everyone a Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year.

Happy anniversary …

Ever thought of a lucky draw will actually causing you pain???

That’s what I experienced yesterday in FF Axis. Frankly, I totally have forgotten about this special RPM Challenge class. Luckily (or rather unfortunately) I went there earlier and was shocked to find my regular bike was already occupied.

I was given the “honor” by Margie to draw the song for Track 7. I have no idea what the tracks are because all of them are just identified by their release numbers. And so all the tracks have been chosen and we’re “lucky” enough to get all the long and crazy tracks. DUH.

The class yesterday was insanely long. We started around 7.25 and ended around 8.30. The floors are soaked with a gigantic pool of sweat. AND WHY ON EARTH the time passes so slow during the class??? I lost count of the tracks and literally thought it was the end during track 6. WTH!!

Each rider were given a limited key chain (which I didn’t get due to limited stock) and a can of 100 Plus Activ, also a good calories burn.

I had dinner with Eric, Margie and Teng afterwards at Strawberry Café nearby after the class. Very funny lar with all these lovely jokers around.

Got a free preview screening ticket from a friend to watch Astro Boy at GSC @ 1 Utama yesterday.

It’s a 3D animation adaption from the famous japanese manga of the same title. Those who were born in the 1980s would know about this manga. The adaptation is surprisingly good. Far better than what the others did for Dragon Ball which is a total crap.

This animation features some voiceovers from big names such as Nicholas Cage, Eugene Levy, Samuel L Jackson and etc.

Go watch it if you like animations.

Went to the Station1 at Sri Rampai last Saturday to meet up with a friend there. My friend and I sat down at the table near their cashier and bar area. No one came to take our order after 15 mins. Then I raised my hand to signal for a waiter and it seems like all the waiters there are too busy serving others and just plainly ignoring us. There was one standing at the cashier doing nothing.

After some “shouting”, finally guy at the cashier counter came and took our order. I blasted him of course for the really bad service before we made our order. After 20 minutes, our drinks still haven’t arrived. So I signaled again and another waiter came and I asked for the status. It seems like our orders weren’t taken. So we have to reorder again. DUH…

And then after 5 mins, the waiter came back and ask whether I’m ordering a cold or hot Honey Milk.. DUH …

Then I ordered a warm sky-juice. I did specifically mentioned WARM sky-juice, but they delivered ICED sky-juice instead. DUH …

There were a few guys who came and left because there is no one to attend to them to take orders after a long period of time... DUH

We were shocked when we got the bill … A whooping RM1.20 for a sky-juice. DUH

So we paid that a lot of money for a BAD SERVICE & BAD PRICE. I won’t be visiting this place again.

And I strongly advise to stay away from this shop.

Hohohoho……

Finally got this … Too bad I don’t have last year’s planner, otherwise I can use this with last year’s leather binder …

My company is organizing an annual dinner and I was “lucky” enough to be chosen as part of the organizing committee although I’m still under probation period of 3 months, of which 2 more months to go before I can get confirmed.

I was to be in charge of the dinner liaisons which takes care of invitation cards, lucky draw prizes ;-) , artworks, designs blar blar blar.

I have to admit I’m not really an artistic person when it comes to graphic. I still remember vividly that art classes during my schooling days is a total pain in the ass. I never liked art classes..

So this time, I have to get in touch with my long lost artistic side and come up with a design which will be used in all related printing materials and backdrop and this is what I manage to churn out.

What do you think????

And IF you’re asking why the white logo there, my answer is because of the people from corporate communication insisted that way. So I have no choice.

Just went to a salon to color my hair and get a haircut since they are having promotion… This is the first time I’m taking self pics from right angle.

How was it???

Erm… this is actually a post on my trip to Penang LAST MONTH… Hehehe…

My friend and I were actually on a food trip to Penang. Will go again next time if my schedule permits. We went around hunting for food along with the local there.

List of food that we had are : - (not limit to ;-) )

- Yam Rice with salted vege soup. I like it very much.

- Blackman Rojak. The sauce was superb.

- Oyster omelets.

- Seafood… Loads of them …

Sidenote : I’m not at all part of the seafood. I’m just camwhoring while waiting for the food. Duh.

Apart from that, we also visited a few places in Bukit Mertajam and Penang Island. Particularly, St Anne’s Cathedral and za Hard Rock Hotel.

If you guys wanna go Penang, let me know… I wanna join .. ;-)

Tomorrow will be my 4th week with this new company. I joined this company as a Senior Executive for their IT department handling mainly servers. The staff here are very very friendly and more like a family. My manager is a very humble and nice guy. My colleagues are very helpful and entertaining.

A few days after I joined, they had a potluck session to celebrate DeepaRaya. Lots of food I tell ya…

If I’m not mistaken, I had 3 or 4 rounds of food… All Indian and Malay food… which are very nice .. minus the fatty part… All courtesy of the staff here.

Also, we had a fire drill last week… Nothing much noteworthy but managed to get closer with other colleagues. They are really interesting people. Thank God for putting me here.

So if you happen to drop by Damansara Heights for lunch, gimme a call… ;-)

Stumbled across this interesting sight when my band went to this particular mamak shop after band practice. It was unnoticeable at first but it caught my attention when we were making payment at the counter.

What amazes me is the top half was okay and the bottom half was where it went wrong.

Maybe they really sell Nasi Tomoto. From Japan perhaps…

It has been a while since my last update ….

Just to let you guys know that I’m still pretty much alive.

Just some short updates on what had happened :-

1. I’ve already started working in a new company.
2. I’m intensifying my gym workout
3. I’m saving up money to buy recording / studio equipments

Will try to update more often …

Cute heh???

Last Thursday, I went to Bangkok with a group of friends. This is a trip planned since a few months back when Airasia was having some promo price. Since I haven’t been back to Thailand for a few years already so I thought this is a good chance to go back for a visit. The only difference this time is I’m not going with any of my family members, so it’s quite an adventurous trip for me although I can basically go anywhere because I can speak Thai.

We basically went shopping, food and visit some popular tourist spots. Manage to eat some of the food that I missed dearly, particularly the bamboo glutinous rice. Apart from that, I bought myself quite some stuff, mainly food, a sling bag, clothes, underwear and some medicine too.

I nearly wasted 50% of my 5 day trip to Bangkok because I was down with fever and cough. I lost appetite till the point of the food are tasteless to me. Luckily I still manage to get some medication from a pharmacy nearby the hotel.

We commute mostly using BTS as the hotel is just right beside the BTS station. BTS station is something like our own LRT systems. It’s very fast and timely. People here queue up to enter the train, staffs are helpful.

I’m looking forward to go back again……… Time to hunt for next cheap flight to Bangkok
