Had fun in genting.

Im back to my blog after few months? haha.
Been packed up with lotsa stuffs, studies, gigs, recordings.
Was having a show at Arena of Stars on 12th December,
played for Rynn Lin Yu Zhong's concert.
It was pretty fun, the fans were all really crazy over him,
when I sat up on stage, all I could hear was just the whistling, clapping, cheering, chanting of the fans.

It was cool though.
And it was fun playing in front of over 5k audiences on a stage.
Had an about 40 seconds solo part in the middle of the show, where the lights all went off and only the spolight on me, trust me, it was pretty nervous.
But, yea I know I've to put it off real nicely so,
there the solo went with my CONSTIPATED face, as usual.
People kept talking/making fun of my constipated ugly face coz the VCR was on me thruout the whole solo.

Rehearsals






Concert




Dun hv much photos of the concert,
grabbed from the fans tho..

Celebration






That's abt it i guess.

It was a fun show to me =)

June, not a good month?

It's June,
hahaha, half a year gone just like dat. =.=
Done with my sem, having sem break now, and whole loads of stuffs are waiting for me to do.
Been bit miserable lately, tired, lost.
Just random feeling, emo la. LOL
I guess there are just too many things are hitting me at the same tyme,
violin exam is coming soon, hard, damn tough, feel like killing myself,
mum's leg was swollen again after she kinda broke her ligament in knee. Kinda worry abt her but having a tight schedule over here, so could just talked over the phone, and she said she was alrite, as it wasn't really a big matter.

As u guys know, or for those that don't,
I've came out with my own band, called 'The Naked Olive'.
I've been sessioning and playing for so many singer-songwriters, artists, and so on, now I kinda feel the pain, or pressure of being a real band leader in the band.
Working on my originals now, but u know, it's just kinda hard for me to come out with good thing rite now, as no inspiration/motivation.
Was writing the song like quarter way, it's in odd meter, 7/8 timing, so it's kinda hard for me to continue it now. Muahahahaha.
Anyway, just screw it for now.

Schedule for this month is pretty tight,
but just very tight at night and weekends, please do ask me out!!!!! Weekdays, afternoon or anytime, for movie or wert, been craving for movies for so darn long!
Miss my frens in Berklee so much!!!!! Uma, Steph...

Bday celebration.

Well,
everything started on 30th Nov I guess..
Hahaha, went out for movie with Lina,
was watching Bolt, damn nice show! Damn cute.
She actually gave me a lil bit of surprise as we went to fish and chips bar after movie.
Was having my dinner der, yea, real late dinner.
And the waiter just popped out with 2 slices of cake, I was like wth.
So, I realized y she nvr showed me her bag, or let me carry it, coz she had 2 slices of cakes from Secret Recipe which were covered by her cardigan.. =.=
Hahah, but the cakes were nice, and it was great, Thx Lina... :-)


I know I looked ugly, but dun care :-P

After dat went home and sleep lor.
Woke up damn late in the afternoon,
was out to pavillon with Chryl. We went to pastamania, had carbonara,
it was pretty nice :-)
Dinner tyme, Ling asked me out for dinner at curve, so I drove der.
She called me when she reached and told me to walk to cineleisure, Tony Romas,
once I reached there, I saw Josephine and Stephanie were der, I was like, WOW....
HHahaha, had Rosemary chicken for dinner,
and I was stupid coz I didn't take any pictures. Sigh.
Half way waiting for food, Michelle and Lee just popped out like dat,
I was like wth.. I tot she wouldn't come as she's currently in love and ntg is more important that, APPARENTLY.
But, yea, was surprise and happy to have all my bandmates der :-)
Had a tiny little cute gift from Michelle, she bought it from Thailand, looking cute and nice :-)
Thanks you guys again, for the dinner and also the ON-PURPOSE-OFF-PITCHED-BDAY SONG.

I left at 8.45pm as I promised to send Florence for some dancing competition thing, so as flying back to my condo for picking her up.
Actually I definitely knew that it wasn't any competition but a surprise, albeit I had no idea of wert kind of surprise was that.
So, was down her block and waited for quite long, so I decided to call.
And I actually lied and told her that I met an accident, HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.
Wanted to c wert's her respond and wert was she gonna do, but too bad, she was actually peeping me from the car park d.
So she made me drove up to her parking lot.
Once I've got down the car, I saw candles on the floor, I was totally amazed, trust me!
But, one thing, I couldn't believe that my best fwen ever on earth actually thought that it was my 20th bday...
So yea, the picture below explains everything.

Hahaha, but yea, I was surprised, and she bought me 6 cupcakes too.
I was stupid again, coz I didn't take any pictures.

So then, I decided to drive her out for dinner as she was starving.
She told me that she wanted to go to murni, so yea, I drove her der. Until the moment I almost reached der, and I just rmbed that murni is not opened on Mondays.
Ok fine, she told me to drive her to Bangsar, and she was making noise coz she didn't know where to eat as she wanted something like murni's food.
She called her fwen and talked abt it, asking places to eat while I was driving without any directions.
She made me drove to Kl - SS2 - Bangsar - KL.
So yea, she's like a princess to me, as I must send her to the place where she wants to dine. And finally she decided to go SS2 AGAIN, to eat at some mamak stall.
As I reached der, got down from the car, she led me to the place where we were supposed to eat.
And guess wert, Uma and Laura were der, everything was PLANNED!!!!!!!
Tell u wert, Florence is so qualified to be the best actress in Oscar.
Ordered some food, and talked abt it. And I just knew that, actually Florence was on the phone with LAURA while I was driving and she acted like somebody else.
By pretending talking to somebody else, she actually talked bullshyt, when Laura had actually hang up the call.... =.=
While I was eating my indon mee, Farouk, Omar, Faz, Daniel came, I was like WTH....
But, seriously thanks a lot guys! It was great.
Coz of my stupidity, I didn't take pictures again.

So, move on to the next day.
2nd of December, went out for dinner with Peggie at Werner's.
She paid for the dinner and it was expensive though. I felt guilty. Hahaha, she gave tiny surprise too, as after our main course, the waiter just came in with the cake and mouse, and they were awesome, damn TASTY!!!!!
