Does age matter? & liabilities.

Men, gathers up. Yeah I'm gonna talk bout women. Not specifically bout em tho. Just want to bring up a topic bout age differences. Most of us men have a thing bout younger opposite. It's like a normal stuff to be in a relationship with a girl who's younger than us. People won't even mind if a 50 somethin dude got married with a 20 somethin girl. So what about if you have a relationship with a women who's older than you? Does it matter?

It's very subjective yes I know. It all comes down to preferences. So here's my opinion. It doesn't matter. The most important thing is bein comfortable with her. That's the most important thing. Even if she's cute and younger, beautiful a la *insert your fav singer/actresses/model*; it's useless if you are not comfortable with her. Heck yeah look is very temptin. Most of the time, look can be deceivin. But in the end, the only thing that can keep the relationship strong is trust and *ehem* love. What kind of love? Most of us men have taken lust into somethin that got to do with love which is somewhat, misunderstood. Ho no I'm not a love doctor, this is strictly my opinion. I'm sayin that lust (not a bad lust, just feelin of wantin to be with her forever etc, bad lust are you perverts out there :) comes after love. Not the other way round.

Love, another topic; is very hard and complex to understand. How can we know 'that' feelin we have fer her is really love? Some are lucky to have that 'love at first sight' gift and some have to grew with his companion before he can gain the feelin. That's where bein comfortable is important. How can you love someone if you're not comfortable with her at the 1st place? Ho yeah it might as well be lust. The bad lust. The big bad lust. It's magical that sometime, men end up bein happy with some type of women that's didn't get a higher rank in their preference's list be it in the look department, age dept etc etc. Because sometime the same type of women you overlooked before is the one who's really compatible with you. So when you ignore your strict preferences, anythin else doesn't matter.

So there's my verdict. Age differences doesn't matter. Not to say that there's anythin wrong with anythin. It just doesn't matter. I'm not comparin a group with another. This is not a comparison nor a "this vs that" crap. No matter what, if you feel you're comfortable with her and likewise, don't be bothered by anythin else. Nobody is gettin younger anyway. Most of all, I still think older women are sexier (Note: sexy doesn't mean *bare more/wear less* propaganda, a simple person can be sexy too just fer bein funny etc.).

My account gone minus this month. Haha. Am I worried? A bit. But Thank God I got a few side income to cover it. So no hard damage done. Ah well, only if I can make some liabilities a productive assets. So this is how it feels to own a car LoL.

I just received my recent photoes with Momoe. Just brings out all the good memories in an instant. :).

Fractured will be playin in Kuala Lumpur this July!

Talks has it that me and Fractured will be playin at Gegaran Metal [?] (I don't know what number it will be because I lost track.) on 10th July 2005!. Fahmi (my drummer) called me just now to confirm it and hopefully we will get the chance to play in it because anythin can happen in between of the scheduled gigs. If we get the spot, we will be playin along with some big names in Malaysian underground metal scene. Wow. This is it. This is the time! *fingers crossed*.

Next week we (Fractured) will be practicin our new songs and we hope to play those songs at the upcomin gigs. Yeah! \m/.

Oh, fergot to add, if any of my real life friends didn't show up fer this upcomin gigs, I'LL FREAKIN SKIN YOU ALIVE MESELF!! LoL :D. More infos will be shamelessly revealed as soon as I heard/read/saw it. Later.

bush is sellin his democracy again. Now to the Iranians.

Like a drunk cowboy, he's doin it again. Who? It's the U.S president Mr. Bush. Doin what? He's now preparin to attack iran. I don't know what he'll call this war this time around. "Retaliation" is so yesterday. Probably some other sweet bullshits with "Democracy" in it. Call it "Forward Defense" or any other racist propaganda you want, it's still genocide. So what if I killed someone because he has a knife in his kitchen and someday I 'think' he'll use it against me. Now I would love to call that "Forward Defense". Heck it's the same thing isn't it? Oh no. It's different. Because I'm killin 1 or perhaps a few person, now that's inhuman and I'll get death sentence fer that. Mr. Bush and his regime of warmongers on the other hand, are killin thousands even millions and that is different. They call it "the beacon of democracy". In a way, he's right bout the 'beacon' thing. It's shinin brightly and blindin all our sights. He's still at the office sittin proudly as the U.S president while the murders continues. It's just war. Oh and never forget bout oil too. Heck he's not even doin any fightin in any of his war. I recall his words "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists". Ah, how democratic.

I feel sorry fer those Iranians. And Iraqis, and Afghanis, and Vietnamese, and Japanese, and Cubans, and the whole world and I feel sorry fer Americans includin their soldiers because we; peace lovin human have to cope with those bunch of bloodthirsty "leaders" who'll do everythin in their power to make our lives miserable. What did these guys do that makes you want to waste their lives so much? Oh, I forgot bout oil. Sorry, my bad. Oh, is it about the WTC incident? Don't tell me you believed what Bush told you bout the 'terrorist attack'. Even White House are havin a hard time with all the inaccuracies contained in the official report. I'm not gonna write my assumption of the incident because many websites like 911 Research are doin a better job. So is it bout Mr. Osama? The caveman guy? The guy with a worldwide terrorist network, with loads of money and armies so advanced we didn't see em goin head to head with coalition army. Don't forget he was sponsored by CIA to fight russian in Afghanistan-Russian war before. But we do know that it was somethin bout Saddam, the old-friend of Americans on Iran-Iraq war before. Oh, now it's about nuclear. Right. Nuclear. North Korea have nuclear weapon, we all know it but Mr. Bush is too scared to do anythin bout it. Not to mention that his current propaganda is to make Muslims miserable. North Koreans ain't Muslim so he won't be botherin them fer a while. But, but, Israel have nuclear weapons too! Oh waittttt, it's 'Anti-Semite' to talk bout them and they are U.S allies so they're out of the list fer sure.

Don't ask what the Americans will do bout their leader's bloodthirsty behavior. Ask what the Muslim leaders are doin. I bet it'll be another letters of condemnation or somethin. It'll be just that. Even if the Iranians are Shiite, what have they done to make you hate them so much? They're human too damnit! Oh heck you didn't even help the poor Iraqis although they're Sunnies. Or even the poor Afghanis. Don't even try to bring Palestinians into the picture. They're long abandoned by their 'muslim' neighbours. Some of the Muslim countries are even givin extra facilities fer the insane armies just to make their Muslim neighbours miserable. It's pathetic to think that they; the so called 'muslim' leaders knows the power of Allah and yet, they are slaves to luxuries and power.

One thing I want to clear up, I'm not with any sort of terrorism, racism or war. I hate war. It disgust me. Have we not learn from the past? How many more lives must be taken before our greed is satisfied? Fer those who'll say "hey you're Muslim bla bla bla", stop. Stop lookin at me from religion's perspective. Look at me as a human bein. Maybe, just maybe, you'll value my life a bit even if not as much as yours.

May God bless the souls of the people who died in terrible wars made by diabolical leaders. Put down your guns. Go home. This world is too big to keep by yourself. Later.

Listen to J-Fan Radio (no need fer English-Japanese dictionary)

J-Pop fans rejoice! J-Fan Radio is the place fer you to listen to J-Pop online radio stream. The main site also have tons of info on J-Pop culture be it music, anime, manga etc. I'm currently searchin fer this Japanese jazz song which I heard over an anime movie. A sweet jazzy tune but I'm still hopeless in findin the singer/name of the song. J-Fan Radio here stream not only music from albums, they also put anime songs in it so there's still hope fer it. They also put a donation request to help the free J-Fan Radio to grow. Tanosimimasyo! Later.

FreeURL gone wacko, again.

Currently my FreeURL's url redirectin service has gone wacko and it's askin fer username and password if I want to go to http://www.alsemo.isdangerous.com (my webby's short url). Now that sucks. I don't know what happened but it seem that all the other website that uses FreeURL service are havin the same problem. Even the FreeURL website are havin some sorta problem. So, it's better to keep this url in mind (like a deja vu, I know I wrote somethin like this before... Hmm...):

http://home.graffiti.net/Alsemo/

If you can't see any graphic on the intro page then you might missed out the endin "/". If you hate the intro page (awwww...) then be my guest and hit straight to:

http://home.graffiti.net/Alsemo/main.html

I'll probably find another short url but I really like FreeURL's because I've been usin that fer years now. Hope it's just a temporary problem they're havin. Later.

Meetin, volcanoes wakin up, luxurious Marukku, ADSL splitter damaged & songs.

Bosses always knew how to hit you with a good point that you can't figure out how to defend yourself from instantly. Oh yeah so there was a meetin today and I got flamed. Again. And it's always after the meetin that I managed to think of some great excuses that can save my lazy arse back then. Sheesh. Anyway some of the things I expect him to spill out, did came out from his mouth. Like my hair fer example. The disapprovin tone bout my hair has finally made it to the meetin. Ah well, I got nothin against tyin my hair. Can't blame him tho, I'm always a rebellious (I am rebellious only when I'm right, don't get me wrong.) type and my hair seems like the most valid point.

Did you heard/read/saw the news bout a bunch of volcano activities around Indonesia? As reported in Berita Harian (Bahasa Malaysian news, keep your English-Bahasa Malaysia dict handy), 11 volcanoes around Indonesia is currently bein monitored because of the volcanic activities. Should we worry bout it? I mean, we're Malaysian and we don't have active volcanoes standin on our ground. Now that's where you're wrong. We should be worry. If fact, prepare to be slightly panicked. Remember 1883 - Krakatoa explosion? I don't remember anythin bout it because I was not born yet but you can read the link. It's still listed as one of the worst disaster. Now tell me why we should not be worried bout this. I mean. 11 volcanoes dude! Even the long retired Krakatoa volcano has a child (called Anak Krakatau = Child of Krakatoa)!. If you read the link bout the all-time famous Krakatoa Volcano, you can see the Krakatoa island before and after the great explosion. Now tell me we should not be worried bout this (I'm repeatin meself, I know..). If you managed to get the hard copy of Berita Harian, you can see the placement of those 11 most active volcanoes. They're basically surroundin the whole southern part of Malaysia. Volcanic eruption = bad. More on this later. This is scary and terrifyingly interestin at the same time.

I was havin a mid-evenin ride with my bike this evenin, searchin fer a pack of Marukku (an Indian style of munchies, like twisties but made from traditional indian ingredients, don't ask me what in it.) without any luck. Heck it's always like that. Everytime you really want somethin, you'll surely have a hard time findin it. So I got home and I went to the nearest supermarket to buy it. RM3.20 fer 350grams of marukku which I know they sell the same amount fer only RM1 or RM1.50 at the bus terminal. It's not even a festive day fer all I care! Ah well, at least the taste is still great. Yum!

My sister accidently stepped on the phone line a my adsl splitter was damaged. So now we have to swap usage. But I got the veto vote because it doesn't mean anythin if I can't use my "always on" broadband connection. Moral of the story, never let yourself got tripped on the phone line because you might lose the phone line's benefit if your brother pay fer Streamyx/any other broadband service. :D.

Songs fer today is:

Chantal Kravianuk (whatever her name is) - Armageddon OST - Leavin On A Jet Plane.

Stone Temple Pilots - Purple - Interstate Love Song.

Stone Temple Pilots - Purple - Still Remains.

*sigh*... Later.

A date with Momoe

The net buddies meet up went on just fine. So is my 1st date with Momoe. Who? She's the japanese girl I said who would come to Malaysia. And she came. She's still here and her flight back to Japan is on this wednesday. I didn't and won't get any more days off tho so I can't be with her on (last) Monday onward.

Yeah I was pretty much nervous. To meet the one you've been emailin fer quite a long time (more than a year) and finally you're meetin her/him in person. She was plannin to come to Singapore to catch the gigs Fractured played but unfortunately she can't get any ticket from Japan to Singapore. I've also blew her plannin fer last August 2004 so her would be trip to Malaysia back then was also screwed. Also screwed up another of her plan a few month after that too. My bad. So, to avoid meself from turnin another one of her trip to another repeated disaster, I gave the green light as soon as she mentioned somethin bout comin to Malaysia on 09/04/2005 (last Saturday) although the Singapore gigs has made a major hole in my pocket.

We're supposed to meet at the lobby of her hotel but I was late fer a few mins. Ack. Bein late fer a 1st date is a no no but KL is a very strange place fer driver comin from other state like me. To make it short, I was lost. Not lost while drivin, I was lost while walkin to her hotel. Yeah, it was that bad. I was already a few hours late fer the net buddies meet up because I have to do some servicin fer my car. But I managed to keep the delay to a minimum so *I guess* Momoe is not that angry with me :D.

So we meet at about 8:00PM somethin because she went back to her room to call me up. How was it? It's kinda awkward. Because I dunno if I should bow, or shake hands; that sorta stuff. Not to mention that it's the 1st real date. Lucky me my sister let me use her mobile fer 2 days so I was not completely out of reach. In fact I borrow my sister's mobile just fer that special occasion ;). So we met, I was about to make a Japanese style bow when she offered her hand. I was saved from the unfortunate humiliation :D. 1st phase was completed successfully.

I'm lucky too because now that I have my own car, I'm not tied to KL public transport's timetable. That's currently the only good point in havin my own transport as I was left with another problem. I don't know anythin bout drivin in KL. So somehow I sucks. We went to KLCC, had some Malaysian dishes, went to a late night TehTarik session (thanks Isman fer showin us your fav TT spot & a place fer me to stay that night), went to Teluk Kemang and Blue Lagoon in Port Dickson on Sunday (I was late, *sigh*, again).

Fun time really flies and before we know it, Sunday is wavin its hand to say goodbye. I hope she enjoyed her 1st trip to Malaysia although I'm a lousy tourist guide, broke, non-punctual & I didn't get more days off. Somehow I'm not satisfied because she could go to more nice places and enjoy many more things that Malaysia has to offer. And honestly I'm sad because she got nobody to go out with on Monday till this Wednesday, the day she'll go back to Japan. I don't know if I will be there to see her board her flight on Wednesday. Not to mention she can't call me up because my sister has taken her mobile back. I even fergot to ask her room number. *sigh*. I'm hopeless and it breaks my heart.

Net buddies meet up, Streamyx ain't fast right now & Singapore's gigs picture.

I'm goin to KL tomorrow fer a small gatherin with a few of my long time net buddies. Tomorrow too will be my 1st time drivin on the crazy roads of KL. Oh yeah I did mention drivin. My last car loan application was accepted so I've add another commitment in life. No more drenched in rain! No more hot sun! I can hear songs while on the road! Oh, oil price has been raised again... Drats. Back to the gatherin, I'll probably be in KLCC and/or anywhere there's chicks can be seen roamin the area. If you're my net buddy, do come. To my long lost net buddies, really misses you guys so come and join us too! Got a date too tomorrow, after the gatherin with an oversea friend. After a few plans that went kaput, Momoe will finally come to Malaysia tomorrow. Another event I've been waitin fer.

The net has been slow this past few days. Even at my office which uses 1Mb Streamyx connection. Now what the heck are the guys at TMNet are doin right now? I don't have any idea but I do hope this slowness will be a brief encounter. I have a "The document contains no data" problem with blogger just now. I don't know if you guys are experiencin the same problem as I have. So, rather than editin my previous post, I was left with the option of copyin the entire post, deletin it and do a repostin of the edited version of the blog. Sheesh.

Thanks to Venibbeth (Fleurs Du Mal's guitarist), I now have Fractured band picture when we was in Singapore. Expect the picture to be uploaded into my homepage soon. More pictures will be comin soon as Faiz is processin his films. I'm startin to miss the video we took. That too, will be soon. Later.

p/s: I tried postin this blog but still got this annoyin "The document contains no data" bs. Drats..

The Singapore's experiences.

I promised to tell somethin bout my Singapore gigs's experience so here I am. Sorry fer the delay because there's currently many things that came in the way. Anyway, on with my story.

It was quite a surprise, my experience in Singapore I mean. I always thought that the people there is not much of a friendly bunch. I mean, who knows what other people in other countries are like anyway. We (Fractured) are foreigners anyway and Singapore is not our turf so it's nobody's fault if we're ignored and such. But it didn't happen that way. All the people that got anythin to do with us and the gigs is friendly.

We left Seremban around 10:30AM on Friday and went straight to Johor Bahru. We made a few plans like goin straight to Singapore / takin a train ride but in the end, goin to JB 1st seems like a good idea. We can have a rest beforehand and chill out in JB or somethin. We, all the 5 of us (Me, Fahmi, Dayne, Hangah and Faiz the camera dude) rented a RM30 room fit fer 3 person max and ho boy it was quite chaotic. The aircond was broken and it's like sleepin in a hot stove there. So I slept on the floor. It was in JB that I knew the name of the gigs. It was "Infestation of Evil Fest 2005". Cool huh? :). Fractured was listed on top of other bands like we're headlinin the gigs and we was nervous like mad. Who ain't anyway. The part in the flyers that I like the most is that they'll make an official DVD/Vcd out of the entire show. Yay!. Expect that vid to be in my private collection when it's available.

We crossed the Johor - Singapore border around 10:00AM on Saturday mornin. We went to this guy; Fadzil's shop beforehand and fill up our white cards (the card fer us to go to Singapore.. Don't ask me I dunno. It's the law). All of us except fer Fahmi got to Singapore's Immigration with no difficulties. Fahmi's Iron Cobra which he brought in it's box case caught much unwanted attention to the Immigration officers. So he had to open his bag, the Iron Cobra's box etc etc you know the drills. Fer a 1st experience, it sucks to be searched like that but heck, it's forgiven. Fahmi got the same encounter on our way back to Malaysia by our own Malaysian Immigration officer. Heck I pity him.

It was a brief trip, crossin the border. The scenery is not totally different from ours except fer cool cars. Oh the city is clean too. It's more bout money over there. Here you can have a decent meal with take as many as you want servet/tissue. Over there in Singapore, I have to buy the tissue. Somebody said "ciggy"? Ho boy cigarette over there is expensive. Very expensive. A pack of Marlboro will cost you around SD11.++. Yeah I'm talkin bout Singapore Dollar. So we bought a pack of our fav flavor right from JB. A person can't cross with more than 1 pack of ciggy tho. After we arrive at Keranji, we waited fer Fadzil and his gang because he's the one who knows bout the place the gigs will be.

We got to Planet Paradigm (where our gigs was held) around 11 o'clock or somethin. Man that place is big. There was a stage and the mosh pit is big. We got a chance to do a soundcheck so after a few brief thoughts, we went fer At The Gates - Blinded By Fear cover. It was my 1st time usin Boss Mega Distortion with my bass guitar fer a gigs and it was way great! The soundcheck went well so we went out (the gigs start at 3PM) to find ourselves somethin to munch. Mc Donalds got the highest vote so we went to the nearest McD which is bout 10 mins walk. It was my 1st time eatin Big Mac because I'm allergic to meat (except fer chicken). Fergot to tell Faiz bout that and he already ordered the Biggies. Except fer a brief nausea, the Big Mac didn't kill me. Phew I was lucky because in my last experience, I went blank and fainted. I was fine durin our show too. Would I eat Big Mac again? No and they invented Mc Chicken fer guys like me. Duh.

We got to be the 6th act that day and my wish came true. Like I've said, performin too early and there'll be not much of a crowd and perform too late the crowds are tired. But is there any crowd? Includin all the bands performin, we got 100+ people in it. Not much of a crowd but considerin that there was a big gigs a week before and a week after ours, it's pretty much predicted. Did it burn our anxiety? Hell no! We; Fractured really enjoyed our show. All of us axemen, even includin Hangah headbang throughout our performance. I even did a request fer the crowd to headbang on the middle of Dimension Zero - Immaculate cover but nobody responded. LoL. Ah well, at least we know that we really enjoyed playin the whole 6 songs. What did we perform?

1) The Bodybag (Inside The Bodybag in the demo)
2) War Of The Lords (War Of The Gods in the demo)
3) Once Stabbed
4) The Haunted - Tresspass cover
5) Dimension Zero - Immaculate cover
6) At The Gates - Blinded By Fear cover

I guess people do enjoy the show but they just don't headbang. Not only on our turn, but basically on all of the bands's performance. Well, as long as people do enjoy themselves, it's AOK fer me. Fleurs Du Mal didn't perform because their drummer had a bad accident with broken leg(s). We're sorry to hear the news. Anyway two of FDM's army did came to the gigs so it's cool. Maybe someday soon we'll get the chance to perform together. Oh they're friendly bunch too.

After the show, we was taken to the place we will be livin fer that night. It was at Coxscrew Studio. It's a damn nice place. The crews is friendly and they even took the burden to bring our equipments with em so that we; Fractured are freed from carryin those heavy stuff with us. It was a 20mins walk from Planet Paradigm. As we arrived, the 1st thing I did was take a peek at the recorded vid from Fahmi's camcorder. The extra nice guys at studio even cook fer us that night! I viewed the vid a few times until I got very sleepy.

The next mornin, one of CS Studio's crew took us fer breakfast and he paid fer all of it. Man can anybody be friendlier than that? We had a short tour around and we went to a shoppin complex to kill some time. There's many guitar shop and the goodies are cheap! You can get a cool lookin B.C Rich Warlock fer bout RM800! No luck on findin my all time fav Ibanez EDA 4 Strings tho but I'm sure it's on sale somewhere. Why is it so hard to find good stuph fer bassist everywhere? Drats. Our Seremban bus was scheduled to leave at 5:30PM so we pretty much got many free time doin some window shoppin.

We left Larkin, JB at 5:30 knowin that we've made good friends over there at Singapore. Someday we'll meet again my friends! We're scheduled to arrive at Seremban somewhere around 9:30 but there was a major traffic jam at Lipis/Pedas so the bus went out from the highway to use the country road. It was a bad idea because there was a flood and to make it worst, the bus's baggage compartment opened out of some freak failure and a car accidently hit it. Some repairin session, driver to driver discussion and police report afterward, we finally arrive at Seremban around 12. What an experience. But overall, it was a great memories. Unforgettable. We really had fun all the way till the end. I didn't get any goth chicks tho so it sucks somewhere haha.

Countless respect goes to Coxscrew Studio crews fer providin us with a comfortable place to stay after the show. Thanks fer the homemade foods too!. To Fadzil's crew too and his band Terkutuk which sadly didn't get the chance to perform at the gigs. Kudos to the bands who gigged with us that evenin. To the crowds. You were all great people. I personally hope that Fractured will have the chance to perform with/infront of you guys again. \m/

Arieses rejoice! This month is ours! Yeah well so my birthday is just around the corner. I'll be 27 very soon. Heck I'm that old already. Sheesh. It seems like yesterday that I went to school. So many memories. I'm thinkin bout my mom. Miss her very much. Nobody special to celebrate my birthday with. Heck it's no surprise. Would be glad if this year is different. Heh. Anyway, be prepared to sing the all time favorite "Happy birthday to you" song aye! Later.

My grandmother died. Al-Fatihah.

My cousin called just now sayin that my only grandmother I had left has passed away peacefully today. I'm goin to the hospital now. Can't contact my big sis tho. Dunno where she is right now. Later.

I'm back and feelin good! (tired too..)

I just got home. My bus departed at 5:30PM from Larkin, Johor Bahru and many things just happened on the way. Ho boy I got lotsa things to write bout my 1st experience in Singapore. But, I'm too tired to start it, not to mention I'm very hungry right now. So I thought I better save the good stuff fer tomorrow. A teaser though. It was great! So, later then.

My grandmother is in hospital & packin my bags.

I just came back from hospital. Went to visit my grandmother (my father's side) who had a breathin difficulties. She is 84 years old. When I saw here just now, she's ok and she talks to me and my cousins. Because of there's only a few of male grandchildrens she ever had, I'm sort of special to her. She even remembers my last ex-gf (she thinks I'm still havin a relationship with her, I don't want to tell her bout the breakup) and she'll be in the hospital fer a couple more days. I hope everythin will be ok. To tell you the truth, I'm in a state of division right now. To go to Singapore or not. But I have to go. Like I've said, I hope everythin will be fine.

I'm packin my bag right after this blog. So, no more bloggin until this Sunday. Fahmi will come to my house at 8:00 o'lock next mornin and our ticket is fer 10:30's bus trip. I wish I won't accidently left anythin important behind tho. eg: like my bass guitar (LoL). Got no more to say fer now. So, you guys will read bout me later this Sunday. Wish us a safe journey and good luck on our trip/show. Later!

Upcomin Singapore's trip and gigs.

No luck bout the "1 month balance in passport" thingy. I HAVE to renew my damn passport. So I did. I went to the Immigration Office today and that's the last time I cought a glimpse of my 300 bucks. Drats. Anyway I can pickup my new passport tomorrow. You should see my recent photo fer my new passport. Such a long hair (haha!).

Me and my band also bought our bus ticket fer this Friday's trip. It'll probably cost more than RM40 (my friend Faiz, who's the cameraman/manager fer the band used his money upfront.) and what else is new? This will probably be the fastest way to get broke. It's even harder to think that Singapore have 2 times higher currency value than ours. Instant noodle will be my daily diet over there fer sure. Now you know the hardship we; musician have to face just fer the sake of enjoyin ourselves. It's even harder when you're playin that sort of music that was never meant to be radio-friendly. Plus chicks don't dig it. Ah well, I'll be enjoyin meself fer sure. Somehow I hope we will get paid fer performin at this gigs. Not hopin to get rich tho, just enough to cover our bus tickets and food is AOK. No high hopes here.

I was thinkin bout gettin a simple "inai" tattoo fer my left arm but because time is runnin out, I guess I can just ferget bout it. I will be leavin on Friday mornin, probably at 10 in the mornin or somethin. Didn't remember the exact time our bus will be leavin fer Johore Bahru. So I'm officially out of the net until this Sunday. Do wish us a safe journey guys.

I heard that Fleur Du Mal (whatever the band's name is) will be playin at the gigs too so this *will* be interestin. I don't know what other bands in this upcomin gigs. But from bits of info, this gigs is a fully Metal scene gigs. Not a "rojak" (mixed genre) gigs like our last performance. Not that "rojak" gigs is bad but the reception is better in a fully Metal gigs. I'm secretly hopin that my band will perform at the peak time, when the crowd is packed and energies can be felt everywhere. Somethin like in the middle of the gigs. Performin too soon and many crowd will missed the performance (comin a bit late to the gigs) and performin too late will be quite borin because the crowd is gettin tired, neck achin etc etc (Hey headbangin is tirin you know!). Anyway we will record our whole show so expect me to seed the video(s) a few days/weeks after the gigs. Woohoo!

Speakin bout video, Fahmi's camcorder is currently broke. Sheesh. But lucky him he managed to borrow another camcorder from a friend. Eh, did I tell you bout Fractured - Inside The Bodybag's unofficial video clip edited by Udin? Whoa he's freakin genius! I saw the clip 2 days ago and he got serious talent fer video editin. I won't seed the clip tho because:

a) The sound was taken from our demo album, which the songs was not performed by me. (History reloaded: I joined Fractured *after* they made their demo album).
b) There's some 18sx/sg scenes in it. Not a hardcore pr0n stuff excuse me but some shots taken from "Cannibal Ferox/Holocaust" (rated B) movie (I guess).

Anyway we will be makin an official video clips soon. It's in our schedule and I bet with the talent he got, Udin will make an awesome video out of it. Brace yourself fer that specific news. Later!.

Earthquake, memorisin lyrics.

Another 8.7 rector scale earthquake hit Indonesia as told in Yahoo!. Just 0.3 scale less than what triggered the worst tsunami, this recent earthquake is "one of the eight biggest in the world since 1900" leavin 1,000 or probably more, dead instantly. The shock can be sense here too in Malaysia as told my my friend in Putrajaya and my kid sister in Penang. This worries me. Hopefully no more tsunami are comin because we're livin in a tiny country. It's a troublesome feelin, to be livin in a place where is was safe from tornado, earthquake, volcano and other natural disaster before; and now slowly the world are changin to the worst. God knows what's best.

Today is a bit of a busy day fer me. I replied 1 email, replied 3 messages, wrote this blog, sendin mp3s and I'm currently memorisin the lyrics of all the songs Fractured will perform this 2nd April at Singapore. I feel like I'm takin a school exam with this kind of things. Haha. Sheesh, I fergot The Haunted's lyrics. Damn.

I still haven't renewed my passport yet. Haha. Yeah I know you all are bored with this particular issue. But wait!. My officemate told me that I have to at least have a month worth of balance in my passport to get into Singapore. So all hope is not lost. I *may* have the chance to save my preeeecciioousss (Gollum's style) RM300. Anyway, I will be goin to Immigration Office tomorrow and the truth will prevail. I hope the news I heard is true because it IS a waste of money to renew the darn passport when I have a few month's worth of balance in it.

I better start readin the lyrics again. Later.

Countdown to Singapore.

Me and Fractured went fer a jam session last night and my vocal cord can stand the torture fer just 40 mins. I guess my throat is not 100% ready yet. Man this worries me. We got less than a week before the Singapore gigs and I hope my throat will be 100% healthy before that. I think I have to stop drinkin ice thingy and go fer "air suam" (plain water) instead. Heck I want this 1st gigs outside Malaysia to be as perfect as it can. Last night will probably be our last jam session in preparation fer Singapore's gigs and I'm pretty sure we're totally ready to kick some arse.

I still haven't renewed my passport yet. Yeah bad bad me. But I'm waitin fer my paycheck to clear and it'll take bout 2 or 3 days. I will have the opportunity to renew my passport probably on 30th. Whoa. We'll be buyin our bus ticket on 31st and the trip will be on the next day. Time fly fast (I fergot how many time I wrote that..). Really fast. I was mumblin bout the gigs a few weeks ago and now it's just a few days until the real experience. Damn. I'm scared thinkin bout the reception there. Heck, just go with it and have fun. That's what matter the most.

I guess now is the right time to advertise my band's trip to Singapore's gigs everywhere my web presence can be noticed. Hehe. Self-boastin is my game :). Later.

Rainin != football match

Like a bad recurrin dream, a twisted deja vu; it's rainin here. Yeow. But I'm not changin to my football shorts this time around. No sirree. The cool feelin of the rainin atmosphere, plus the warm cozy feelin of my room is tellin me to ferget the darn football match today. Nuar is comin back today and we'll probably hang out fer some Neskepe or somethin. Or I can just join Bobby and Alon coz they've been seducin me to follow them fer a Port Dickson fishin trip. Or a much better plan, I can just lie down on my comforter and see if I'll get any good dream today. Later.

Another football match this evenin.

So I missed last week's football match. So what?! So they won. Big time. But because I was NOT there. *cough*. Anyway we got another football match today. I dunno what team we're up against but the only thing that matter is the weather. I hope it doesn't rain because last week, I'm the only player who didn't came. It seems that other places didn't rain. Probably I was voodoo-ed because my absence is crutial to make them win that match. Oh no I'm not drunk. I'm just preparin fer this evenin's match. Mentally :D. Later.

Fallin in love.. and just fallin

I always look at her when I'm there. Fer such a figure like that, who ain't anyway? Many are lookin too. Men and women alike. Can't blame em though, she's attractive. Very attractive. Sometime I wonder what if, if I had her. Sheesh it's unimaginable. Just thinkin bout possibilities scares me. She might be someone else's special thing. Yeah there are others like her but when I got my eyes fixed on her, and only her, then it's a different thing. It's insane, to be fallin in love and knowin that you just can have her. Just thinkin bout who'll finally get her is breakin me. But I can't hope forever, can I? And she won't wait forever, will she? As I walk outside the buildin where she's at, I saw her again. Still beautiful as always. Damn hot. And I saw someone is approachin her. I can't bear this any longer. The torment, the hopelessness. And at that specific moment, I said to meself:

"Someday that Ibanez EDA WILL be mine....". Later

And it finally rains, kids nowadays & passport..

After a quite lengthy dry weeks, it rains just now. Aahhh. What a relief. The smell of wet grass. The sound of frogs. The shiverin cool temperature. It've been foggy this past few days and I heard rumors that there have been a few major forest fires around. Hopefully the rain will have a regular visit because everybody here needs it.

My big sis went to the police station just now and made a report about bullies. Not just any bully case, this involves primary school kids. A few of this kids have been threatenin my nephew fer quite some time. They even get as far as badmouthin my big sis. They were tryin to throw stones at my big sis's car and that pushed her limit. So she went to make a police report. I wonder how did their parents raise them. Still in primary school and they've showed their bad potential. Now what am I to do here? Don't get me wrong, I AM angry. I'm just keepin it cool because they're kids. Hey I can go slap those kids to my heart content but in the end, I'll get labeled as "Child Abuser" and that is not a good image. Now what would YOU do? Oh no I'm not gonna sit still now that the kids have gone way past my patient's limit. If it's really out of control, his parents will get it from me.

Kids nowadays. Did you see the news a few days ago? The case when a boy ran amok and starts shootin at some school. He killed a few (even had a shootin spree around his neighborhood beforehand) and injured others. And the news before that bout a kid, a really young kid who shot his lil brother out of an arguement. He, as told by the news; took a gun from underneath his mom's pillow and shot his lil bro. Can't remember whether the poor boy is still alive or not. Now tell me this is not insane. Can't you see what lots of TV and accessibility of guns are takin our kids (ehem I'm still not married yet, nor I have my own children but heck who cares.) to? What are the role of parents nowadays? Help me here somebody. I really don't get this.

Take the case of my big sis fer an example. The bully's parents have this extra faith that their boy is an angel. Now this brat is smart. He's an angel, but only when he's with his parents. Out of the house, now that's a different story altogether. I'm not sayin that we can't trust our childrens (ehem like I have any..), but do take any friendly reports from your community more seriously. Don't just shut your ears when someone report that your kid has been doin some bad things. Ignorant is not a bliss. Will we wait fer another bloodshed before we can see that what we've done is wrong?. As we're told in Islam, it goes somethin like: "kids are like a pure white piece of cloth, it is we (the parents) who will color it".

Angah have a passport now. Drats. Now me and Udin are the only 2 person who haven't make/renew our passport. Don't blame me my budget are in a chaos state right now. I'll probably renew my darn passport next Monday, if I can convince my boss to sign the paycheck earlier than usual. Here I am countin days to bring some pride fer my country on Singapore's gigs and I have to pay money to get my passport renewed?! Come on! RM300?!! Ohhh mannnn. I have a few months left in my old passport so can't you just cut RM150 from the total? Sheesh.

Long and hot day

Ever wish the day could be longer and the fun never ends? Well you wish has come true. But. Yeah there's a but. It'll be a long hot day. Article written in Utusan Malaysia Online - Dalam Negeri (note that this is written in Bahasa Malaysia) tell just the same thing. Startin tomorrow, 21st March 2005; the sun will stay with us longer than 12 hours. Probably 14 hours. Now that's a long day. Not to mention that the sun will be right above us contributin to a hotter climate. This phenomenan will continue fer a few days. Visit here fer information of this so called equinox.

If the forecast is true, then we're talkin bout 40Celcius here man. Wow. It's time fer us to buy sunblock. I dunno how it'll be but I'm pretty sure it's way hot. Even this few weeks is a physical torture. Dry season, lack of rains. Lyin on the beach will be a bad idea. Unless cancer ain't your concern. I can imagine meself can barely keepin my eyes open ridin my bike. I don't quite like sunlight. Yeah it's a vampire thingy. No I won't get burn out tho. I'm a daywalker. Heh I'm startin to write nonsense here. Hey do you know that it's written in the newspaper (Malaysian) that our current hot weather is makin people moody? Bad mood. Yeah well it's true. You can ask Ferrari fans everywhere (ouch.. :P). Oh yeah blame it on the weather. Ok ok it's a bad joke. Sheesh chill out. Seriously, keep lotsa drinkin water handy fer this few days. Urrhh just thinkin bout this equinox make me thirsty. Ah well luckily our workin hour don't get extended. Later.

F1 fever again. Go Sauber-Petronas (Sorry Ferrari fans..)

It's F1 fever again! If you're an F1 fan, go visit http://www.malaysiangp.com.my fer it is a local-based website on everythin bout man and wheels. Cool site as currently I can see the F1 countdown timer showin me there'll be 2 hours and 45mins left until F1 starts. Way cool. The site also have information bout Moto GP, Japan GT, Merdeka Endurance and many more which is great. It also have information on how to get to Sepang F1 Circuit, info on Malaysia, races merchandise and lots more. The site is geared towards Sepang F1 Circuit and its activities.

Speakin bout F1, I wonder how it'll go with the dry season here in Malaysia. Hot fer sure. Very hot. I guess we'll have many dramatic moments in the race today. Be it mechanical failures, engine failures etc. No I'm not bein sarcastic. It's just that it's very hot here. Well this will be a new challenge to the drivers. Can't let em win easy aye?

I'm waitin fer the next.. ehem.. Japan GT. Dunno if they air it on TV though. Till then. Tanosimimasyo!!

It rains... :/

I was just about to leave my house fer the football match when all of a sudden, it rains. It's still rainin outside. I have a feelin that if this rain doesn't stop before 5:00PM, the match will be postponed till next week or another week. Yeow. There's still a few more minutes left. I hope the rain will stop. The cloud is gettin darker now. Sheesh. I'm still wearin my football shorts. Just in case.

I have a feelin that we will win today. Big time. Hmm.

Another football match

Ole ole! I got another football match today at 5:00PM. We, Bumiputra Commerce Finance - Seremban Branch FC will be playin against Jabatan Pendidikan (Seremban). I'll go as defend again because my calves is kinda cramped right now from my previous workout. No more smokin when stretchin/warmin up now. Expect world class football extravagant this evenin as we try not to get beat up too much. I hope no one's wearin no 9 because that's my fav number.

Karl here, bringin you live sport actions, right in my blog. And that's a score! Later.

2nd week of workout & message to the bozo.

This is my 2nd week of workout. I've been reschedulin my workout.. err.. schedule and now I'm currently workin out just twice per week. I read that rest are also important fer muscle to grow so that made me change my schedule. Speakin bout workin out, my schedule was supposedly on Monday and Tuesday. But because of some unavoidable circumstances, I went to the gym last Tuesday, yesterday and later today. What? You said 2 times per week? Yes 2 times per week. Yesterday doesn't count because I didn't do any workout yesterday.

Somethin bout yesterday. Me and 2 of my gym buddy went there around 8 somethin. Yeah it's a bit late but one of my buddy got a problem with his car causin the delay. So we were there, and there were many people in it. You see, I got no problem socialisin. But there's a group bout 4 people, a regular. They're probably a few month senior than me. One of the guy, which got a few kilos more than me seems to have this attitude of a typical asshole. I didn't notice that, my buddy did. When we came in, this asshole will eye me and starts mumblin with his group. With a few laughter. Like I've said, I didn't notice anythin because I typically just mind my own dawgdamn business in there. See, when my buddy told me bout it afterward (we didn't do any workout because the place is quite packed, there are a few more people in it which me and my buddies know.) that started to piss me off. Why? Because my body type never bother anyone. So why can't people just respect others? I can take that kind of insult from real bodybuilder with bulky muscles. Yeah sure. But heck fer a "senior" with a few month of workout, they're practically losers. One of the bodybuilder which me and my buddy know, named Dino; used to be a skinny dude a few years back. And now he's like an idol to the beginner (except me because too muscular ain't my cup of tea). There's also Art, who's skinnier than me a year and a half ago. Now they don't simply judge people. But this group of bozos with kindergarden mentality just don't get it. Don't get me wrong. I'm not the only person pissed of with this bozo group. Even most of the guys in there did. But because of bein professional, all of em just take it easy.

Now what will I do? Take steroid so I can lift 200kg like mad? Nah. I'll just continue with my regular workout and as let the bozos be. I'm whinin here because it's my damn blog. Yeah I'm still pissed off but it's not fatal to any. If I can just focus on the workout and ferget bout the loonies, I'll probably beat em real good and if that time comes, I'm pretty sure they'll start to realise that they were supposed to work their body muscles, not just their foul mouth.

Metalterus.com.my, job hunt (again?) & Ibanez EDA

Fer you metalheads. You can read many metal infos about local and oversea metal scene at http://www.metalterus.com.my. The site is geared towards BM readers so keep your English - Bahasa Malaysia dictionary handy. I heard a news that the Singapore gigs we (Fractured) will be playin will be posted there on the site. The flyers has been printed but I didn't receive my copy yet so talk is talk fer now. The gigs info is still a secret even to meself and I'm kinda doubt the news I heard. Damnit. I need some sorta proof so it's easier fer me to tell/brag/bullshit about it to my friends. Sheesh. Yeah bein pissed-off is my 2nd name.

I'll probably go fer a job interview in KL tomorrow with my buddy. Don't tell my boss because I didn't. Anyway it may be another failed plannin unworthy of rementionin so no high hopes fer that.

I dreamt I was playin is a gigs with an Ibanez EDA bass. Tell ya the truth, it was wayyyyyyyyy sweet. So, I'll marry those who give that dream bass-o-mine fer my b-day. No doubt. Yep. Uh-huh. Yessirree. Hah!. Later.

The light of smoke... *cough*..

Quit smokin? Fer a while? Yeah right *puffin Marlboro Light*. Yeah ok I'm a bit inconsistent. It's funny because whether it's full flavour, menthol or light; it'll contain the same tar and nicotine amount. Ah well, at least the 'Light' can ease up the sore on my throat. Yeah sure. *cough cough*. It's better. Not the cough. It's the feelin. Hah!

Late jam & sore throat..

I opened this Blogger Editor at 10:00AM or so, and actually writin somethin (this blog) at about 6:00PM. Hah! What happened? I fell asleep. Me and Fractured had a jam session last night which started at 2:00AM. Imagine that. Plus all the teh tarik session after that, which a simple math can assume that I got back home really late. This guys have the habit of bookin the darn studio at the last hour, so that's why we always got late night jam session. Drats. It's very tirin.

Speakin of late night jammin last night, I nearly lost my voice. The cold left me leavin an itch on my throat. And coughin is makin it worst. This is bad. With the Singapore gigs is comin in a few weeks, I don't want anythin bad happen to my throat and/or voice. 1st time performin outside Malaysia and already losin my voice? Now that sucks. I'm now quittin smokin until my throat is healthy again. Sheesh just writin bout quittin smoke is hard enough. Later.

Lyrics.

FYI, I've just finished writin the 3rd lyric fer Fractured and there's still 1 song left to write the lyric fer. Now 'Once Stabbed' has lyrics. I was pretty lazy and brain dead so that explain why my lyrics writin skill is nothin to be proud of. I was unmotivated too so that adds up. But because we're most probably be playin in Singapore so I have to hurry up with the lyrics and memorise it. Still on anti-war stuff tho because I have more ideas on that issue.

Fer me, 'Once Stabbed' is the hardest Fractured song to perform. One of the reason is that I haven't memorise my own lyrics yet. Haha. Seriously, that song is pretty fast and the vocal is pretty much fast too. Because I'm the bassist AND vocal, I'm pretty much have to focus on both while performin that song. It's easier to jam with just singin nonsense (just like before I wrote the lyrics) and it's much much harder when I have to exactly speak (or rather.. ehem.. shout) the correct words. Plus the bass follows the guitars. Still, this is my fav song.

Now to write the last lyrics. Now where's my thinkin cap? Later.

Cold and shampoo.

Today is one of those days when the body didn't function at the optimum performance. I got a cold and it's quite a story how I got it. Tersedak == choke? I dunno. Then the back of the nose starts to feel sick. And soon the body starts to give up. Well I need a rest anyway.

I've been usin this "Hair Fall Control" shampoo fer nearly 2 weeks now (2 times per week). I always uses Rejoice "Dandruff Control" shampoo and I'm still a happy user. But because I haven't restock my fav shampoo yet, I was left with the only option of usin my sister's shampoo. I'll spare the product name. What's my verdict? When it says "Hairfall Control" it really is. And I guess the shampoo ain't happy with my long hair. I better get meself the trusty Rejoice again or else there'll be no hair to shampoo. Later.

Workout lesson #1: Daily schedule.

Today will be the 5th day of my daily workout and due to popular demand (*yeah rite..*), I'll try to write down my exercise schedule fer those who like to try it out too. Take note that you'll need to consult your physician and/or relevant trainer fer the best result. To my surprise, my weight yesterday was 52.6Kg! Wow. My weight has never been passed higher than 50Kg before. Oh yeah this is an official world record :P. Note too that I'm not a professional trainer nor experienced enough so stop readin if you're very serious about workin out (goin fer Mr. Olympia or such).

It's easier to have experienced trainer to personally train you on your workouts because I heard many cases of people doin workout fer months without any good result because they just don't do it right. There's many type of workouts fer each of body parts you want to develope. I heard that the most difficult and hardest part in a workout is the shoulder area. I got a few tips from my buddies in the gym I went so I'm pretty sure that I can make an effective workout routine. Here's a few tips I heard:

- If you never do weight liftin before, do it 3/4 times per week. Don't overdo it because you might damage your muscle.
In my case, I have some weight liftin experiences before although it's just fer fun and currently I'm trained by a few experienced buddy so injuries can be kept to minimum.
- Watch the back area. This is very important because back injuries are more common than anythin else. Serious injuries can lead to bad things. On every workout, be sure to keep a good posture of your body.
- Weight vs repeatin. Concentratin on weight will make your muscle grow bigger and repeatin a consistent workout routine fer lighter workout will shape it. SO be sure you know what you want.
- Eat wisely. As fer me, I'm currently drinkin additional protein fer muscle growth and because I can eat anythin I want without the fear of bein obese, I don't have any eatin restriction. If you want to lose fat instead, there's stuff like Cuts / Hydra Cuts etc to burn the fat like mad. Consult your physician.
- Make a schedule to suit your style of workout. Some people have shapely chest, some have built legs so be sure to know what area of your body you want to grow/shape.

This is my previous schedule. My workout routine is 2 hour per day, 5 days per week. Saturday and Sunday of the days fer my muscle to relax. Protein is taken before and after workout. My next schedule will be different as I'm makin a more suitable routine.

Monday: Workout chest, bicep and tricep. (This is very achin the next mornin, I overdo the bicep part haha)
Tuesday: Workout fer back areas
Wednesday: Workout fer chest
Thursday: Workout fer shoulder
Today: I think I want to do chest and bicep.

Later.

Workin out.. and ouch..

i've been doin some simple workouts fer 2 days now. And currently, I can't straighten both my arms. If it wasn't fer my buddy, I probably won't bother anyway. With aches everywhere, somehow I feel good. My sleeps are better. You know when you're tired and then you go to sleep. The moment you close your eyes you'll be sleepin like a log and in the mornin, it's a very refreshin feelin. Well except fer the major aches of course.

Why workout? Fer me, I don't exercise much. Bein a slim guy, I don't feel the need. That was before. Now I think I need more exercise than workin my fingers out (writin blog, playin bass et cetera..) and it's a good thing to have a partner to do it. One more thing, I've been maintainin my 50+kg barrier fer quite a long time now and I need to grow some weight. I won't complaint if I'm a women tho. I dunno where the heck does all the fat I ate went to. All of em directly to the flush? I dunno. So I guess I'll have to get it the harder way. Workin out. Sittin here smokin cigarettes in front of this laptop everyday ain't that healthy anyway. I hope I can maintain all this tortures tho. The 1st few weeks will be the hardest and I got a new world record fer the longest time to wear t-shirt this mornin. I won't bother tellin how I rode my bike to spare some embarassment.

Oh did I mention workin out is healthy? Yeah. :P.

Later.. Urhh..

Work with no work, no plans fer tomorrow, Aedes & Satisfaction.

I went to work today and I wish I didn't. Why? Because the period of time that I'm really doin some work is just a few mins. The rest of the time I spent on the net (like usual) and makin it look like I'm not on the net and really workin in front of my boss. I should've slept the entire day instead.

Nobody called today so I guess no jam session this week. Although tomorrow might bring good news. I'll probably hibernate the entire day tomorrow if there's no interestin things to do.

The Health Ministry have been smoggin my area fer 2 days now. Ah. There must be a case of Denggi recently. Most cases are with childrens and many of the cases are fatal. So be sure to keep your surroundin clean and watch out fer any spot that can breed Aedes.

Spam mails are best deleted from ur mailbox. Yeah everybody knows that (well I might be wrong because if everybody really knows it then Sobig or any other mail related nasty stuff won't be a big thing right?) so I was just about to clear my Spam when I some interestin mails caught my eyes. Pr0n links aside, I read "Satisfy your girl, [u-know-what drug name] is better than [another drug fer u-know-what]". It's typical, I know. But judgin by the commitment of this spam guys, it made me think. *Drum rolls*. We are force-fed with feelins of bein unsatisfied. Oh no I'm not gonna talk bout me or anybody else's private part here :D.

Admit it. We're livin in a world where everybody wants more than anybody else. Even though that they don't really need it. Sometime we got the money fer it and most of the time we're forced to believe that eventhough we currently can't afford it, we must somehow get it soon. Fer example, I currently own this great laptop, it's more than adequate to satisfy my computin need although when it comes to gamin, I wish I own a supercomputer instead. Then comes the power of hypnotise-advertisement. They show a computer motherboard, make it look nice, wrote reviews with tons of calculations from HDD read/write access to the short period of time you'll need to screw it into you casing. Then my dual-personality starts debatin.

"Look at that, that's the new [brand]'s mobo"
"Yeah so? We got a laptop here already and it's still workin fine."
"True but we can get [another geek peripherals] to work with this!"
"If we really need that [another geek peripherals] which I doubt we'll even need it, I'm sure we can use [another geek peripheral] fer this laptop."
"Ok sure but this is [brand-name]!"
"Ah. You win."

No matter what's the reason, we will find one to suit the purpose of gettin new stuff, better stuff or even bigger private parts (ok this is the only line I'll mention bout it here..). And by the time we got it, we'll see another new stuff and the cycle will continue to wind. But I can assure you that I got a legitimate reason fer buyin a new motherboard. Yeah right. Lucky me I got no extra money to burn. Later.

p/s: I found out that although I tried installin some cool games (and cursin when it can't run), or hookin up some additional devices; I always end up usin the laptop fer the same ol things (surfin, mp3s, writin/readin some text) and bein happy with it. Simplicity is the most comfortable space. I'll need a PC to do what my tortured laptop can limitedly do but the only time I'll consider buyin it is when I have a good bargain and lotsa extra bucks to spare.
"But it's the [brand name!!!!!!"
"Oh damnit just shut up"

Hot and cold.

Ahh. What a refreshin nice cold shower. It's hot here in Malaysia aye? It have been hot like this fer weeks now. I don't remember hot days like this before in my life. I guess there's always somethin new to experience. Water ration is comin. I bet our water reserve is runnin low. Wonder how our neighbour will cope with that. As long as I can have my nice cold shower, it's A.O.K. Later.

Cheapo DSL modemo is dyin *sob*

Looks like my cheapo electronico DSL modem is showin its age. It've been tortured since the day it knows the meanin of broadband. Now, after a few month, it looks like it's dyin of old age.

Old modem != pleasurable internet

Ah. I've been disconnected again. The DSL, LAN & PWR led just lights up without blinkin. The life as we know it, is comin to an end. Well at least fer my good ol DSL modem. I'll surely miss it. Not because it have gave me unforgettable surfin experiences. No. It's because it was a free modem. And free modem doesn't last long. Free modems are like the front line assault team. They got wasted easily. They make pathway to freedom. Even though just an internet freedom. It's freedom nevertheless. And they die halfway makin it. And when that happen, we gotta chunk out another hard-earned money to buy a better modem. And what happen to the ol cheapo modemo? They are forgotten.

Ah. Disconnected again. Well well. Look at it go. The good ol modem. I'll tell you what I'll do. There. Just turn the switch off then back on. And I'm online again. Fer sure it won't take long before I got disconnected again. But well, the ol guy just keeps goin as long as it can. *pat the back of my old modem* Uh. It's hot. I was too hard on it. But we both enjoyed it. It'll be soon till I get a new replacement. A much better model from a well known brand. Aztech mebbe. Or 3Com. Or even another same cheapo DSL modem just like my ol guy if I got too sentimental. No I'm not pullin the plug yet. No sirree. He can manage another few terrabyte of downloads, mp3s, pr0ns or keeps idle without any activities eventhough I'm connected (I always do that.. bein online without any online activity. Yeah I need a therapist). Ah the guy is hotter. No worries though, he can manage it. Yup sure he can. Or can he? Like the old sayin goes:

"Old modem don't die, their chip just burn to a crisp"

So be proud my ol modem. Let the binaries go through like you've never let em in before. Make me smile. Make my day. Heck. I got disconnected again. *sigh*."

Blog from a friend.

Blog fetish beware. Here's one of my buddy's blog right on [my mind ramblings], blogged by Isman from KL who I guess updates his blog more frequent than me (shame) so fer those who loves to read blogs. Bon Appetite! Later.

Sony NetMD fer me? Hmm gotta think bout it.

I was searchin fer infos in Sony NetMD walkman which I'm thinkin bout gettin a piece fer meself when I stumbled into Sony Net MD Walkman Software Problems Petition site. I read many reviews today and trust me, Sony NetMD is pretty much sucks. Too much restrictions (Doesn't really store mp3s in the minidisc, it's actually converted to Atrac, Sony own audio compression format which is also shitty), not to mention crappy software bundled with it. Well, who am I to say all this huh? Ouch, there's already 3,617 people who said somethin similar already. Looks like I have to cross Sony NetMD from my list of portable mp3 player's candidate. Shame. Just do some goolin and you will surely find someone havin some problem with Sony NetMD. Wow, comin from such a big and well known company, well again, it's a shame.

Other info, you can use Petition Online to host your petition, if you have any. Maybe you have some problem with somethin which somebody has already made the petition there. So help yourself and sign it. It's quite a relief though. Later.

My uncle died.

If you ever read my stories on my homepage, you might remember Bang Lan. The one who influenced me on bein a musician. His father, my uncle died peacefully this mornin. 1st time in many years we; me and Bang Lan meet again. He's still tall and have a big voice. His father was buried after Jumaat prayer and I'm goin to his house again in a few mins fer a Tahlil. May Allah bless him and keep him with all the solehin. Al-Fatihah. We'll miss him fer sure, but we know, God loves him more than we do.

We don't know fer sure how long we are goin to live. So live wisely. Later.

I'm beat and we're beaten. Still it's a great game.

Urhh.. I'm beat. A few mins after my last blog, my friend from BCF called and said that I'm already late. It seem that the match is at Sekolah Teknik Tuanku Jaafar, just next to Sekolah Teknik Ampangan. Drats. I already asked the guard there but he said that he didn't know anythin bout any match. So, I arrived nearly 20 mins late and we already on the lead with 1 - 0. Great. Ain't it?

Yeah. I got the back position as someone already wore goalie's jersey. To tell you the truth he's a much better goalkeeper than me. So everythin was fine. Until after 2nd half. We got beaten 4 - 2 till the end of the game. Ouch. Like I've said, I'm beat. Still, it's a great game and although very tirin fer me, I lasted till the end. Got a scar on my left knee from my attempt to guard our goal post. There will be more matches comin our way and maybe this time around, we (BCF FC) will be more prepared (hey I even bought a new boots, didn't I?).

I'm waitin fer my body to cool down so a can take a nice cold shower and Fahmi called sayin that Fractured will pratice. Tonight. Errrr. Ho boy. I'm excited but my knee doesn't agree with me. Thinkin bout our upcomin gigs in Singapore. Well. Just go with the flow and enjoy the show bro. Hah. It rhymes. Later.

Where's the game at anyway?

It's 5:00pm already and I'm sittin at home writin this blog. Why? I went to 3 different schools and nobody got informed bout any damn football match. My mobile is faulty so I'm stuck waitin fer call to my house and still nobody called. I swear they said it was at Sekolah Teknik Ampangan's football field. And as far as I know, there's only 2 Teknik school in Ampangan and both are located side by side. This is shitty. I've bought new pair of shorts and new boots. Irritatin. Expect some world-class flamin next Monday because I'm pissed. Later.

Bootless now..

The match will be on at 5:00pm or somethin. The guy who I'll be borrowin the boots from went outstation so I'm left with the option of buyin my own boots. Drats. I'm thinkin bout goin out and buyin a pair fer meself but I was asked to help one of my friend here packin his things because he's movin to another place. Sheesh. Will this ever stop? I hope I'll have enough time to buy my boots and a pair of football shorts or somethin. Ouch.

Friday, February 04, 2005

BCB against PGG.

Looks like football match is on tomorrow. Someone will lend me his boots but right now he's nowhere to be found. Ack. The match will schedule at 4:00pm at Sekolah Teknik Ampangan football field (used to be Vokasional Ampangan, my school). It's a bit funny because we (the team) haven't formally meet each other yet and there's no use talkin bout practice either. Ah well. It's suppose to be a friendly match anyway so I'll meet some new friends there I bet. Wish me luck peeps!. I'll try my best to keep the ball out of my goal.

Moody because...

Ah. Another breakups. No, it got nothin to do with my band(s). I just broke up with (now ex-) gf. It was pretty hard to say it but it's unavoidable. Things just don't go as planned. Mebbe I made the right decision and maybe I've made a disasterous one. I dunno. I'll probably be the one to blame from her friend's point of view but I just don't have the energy to care anymore.

Now you know why I was havin a moody days. Well, my Ibanez is still here though so life still have purpose. Later

Tuesday, February 01, 2005

Bad mood.

Sheesh.. I'm such in a bad mood... It's hard to sleep when you're in such state. What the $%@* are ya lookin at?

Comments, Fractured's lyrics & videos on I-Bands.net

Wow. There's actually somebody who reads what I'm postin in here. Thanks fer the comment Farrukh Malik!. Ouch, I'm blushin already. :)

I just remembered that there's still unwritten lyrics fer 2 of Fractured's songs. I have to make sure I can make those lyrics and memorise it fer the gigs. What am I gonna write about? Well, bein an anti-war person meself, I guess I'll write my lyrics based on that. Bein poetic is somethin that I'm not good at but heck, I hope it's good (and rhymes too :).

http://www.i-bands.net now lets its members to upload and stream their home-made music videos! Hurrah! I'm thinkin bout uploadin Fractured's last gigs's vidz in it but I'm too shy (awwww....). Later I hope. If I can make up my mind. Hehe.

Hi to all Bloggers! Blog on! :)

Football match postponed..

How was the football match? Well, it was postponed till probably next week. Since I still can't find any boots fer meself then it's a good news. Now I'll have another few days to prepare fer the match. Ops, still keep fergettin to ask where the exact location are the match goin to be held. I'll post the info later.

I'm broke.. What else is new? Cya!

Friday, January 28, 2005

Another attack from the bills of death

When I thought I'm safe to spend my money again. That's when another disaster strucks. My newest phone bill just arrive and it ain't happy with me at all. Arghhh!!!!!. Why me!!!? I have to refrain meself from any outgoin calls from now on. My last bills nearly killed me and this phone bill got the job done. I'm dead. Dead and broke (again..). Trip to Singapore? Arghhh! New jeans? Arghhh! New mobile phone? Arghhh! MCP exam? Arghhh! I'm thinkin bout sellin meself off as a souvenier or somethin. Maybe I can be a lamp-holder?

Still can't find anybody who can lend me his football's boots. By the way my money keep drainin away from me, I'm sure I can forget bout buyin a new pair. The match is tomorrow, 5:00pm at.. at.. ouch I fergot to ask where the hell are we gonna play. Again. Later.

Saga Artakusiad

Ever heard of Artakus? or Jundak (my buddy from KP call me by that name.. I'll tell u more bout it later)? Some of you might heard the name Ahmad Patria Abdullah. I read the whole 6 series of Saga Artakusiad when I was in form 2 or somethin (I can't recall correctly) and his works (the series) was simply magnificent. To think that he wrote those series with such style of literature, his high imagination, to me he's a great inspiration. After bout 17 years of silence, he came out and wrote the 7th series of his great masterpiece titled 'Lagenda Numerius'. Nice title huh? All his 6 series was never reprinted (officially) aeons ago and it's the rarest of the rare. To find the original print is somewhat nearly impossible and I'd even jerk my cousin off (the books I read belong to him, now I dunno where did he put those books and it've been years since I last saw him. I probably won't recognise him if he's infront of me) just to make him give me those rare prints he have. But, all hope is not lost and there's a website out there that still have the series up fer sale (although most of it are now a bunch of reprints, original copies are nearly extinct). Visit this website:

http://www.artakus.net

So if you never read it, or you nearly fergot how well done it's written, go order it online. Fer such a cheap price, you can get all the series and be glad that someone out there, a local man, have created such a perfect fantasy world which can draw you in its marvelous storyline, the thrill, tears and happiness by just simply writin it. It'll cost me nearly RM100 fer sure. But to think bout it, it'll be my priceless possession.

p/s: Oh, fergot to tell how the heck I was called Jundak in the old days. Well, some of us (my friends and my cousins) were so much into the story so we got nicknames from the characters contained in the series. Mine was Jundak coz they say his description resemble mine so that's the story. Yeah I know, not interestin at all huh? But heck they still call me by the nickname! Later

and it's a GOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

What a topic huh? Ah yeah. Football. I was never a fanatic. I'm still not. If it's on tv and yeah I'll watch it but I won't stay up late at night just to wait fer it. Anyway, what is it gotta do with me? And why am I blabbin bout it here? It's because I'm gonna be playin in a friendly match this Saturday.

I fergot to ask which stadium are gonna be playin but I was picked to join BCF (Bumiputra Commerce Finance, Seremban branch) football team to play against Persatuan Guru-Guru (NSDK I presume) this Saturday at 5:00pm. The BCF (Bumiputra Commerce Finance) picked me because I'm workin at their dealer's office (my office) and those dudes kinda know me quite well. I'm not that interested until they said that I got nothin to worries because we're gonna play to lose. Wow. Now that must be somethin big. If it got nothin to do with winnin then I'm the right guy! What position am I gonna be playin? I opted fer goalie. Yeah not much of an action but heck nobody else are goin fer that and I kinda like being a goalkeeper.

Gotta find somebody with boots my size so I can just borrow it. More details will be exposed here so don't chew the last grab of popcorn yet. Expect some intense football extravagant that day. Wow. Me, playin football, standin on the goal area shoutin somethin just to make me look like I know what I'm doin and pray nobody will roll the ball anywhere near. Damn, I'm sweatin already. Later.

Sunday, January 23, 2005

Found it!

Ah. I finally found the passport. It'll expire on june and I dunno if I can just bring that passport fer my Singapore's trip. Can't afford to spend RM300 just fer a one-time gigs. I can do somethin more meaningfull with that 300 bucks. Better get another opinion. Later.

Fractured jam session & dude, where's my passport?

We (Fractured) went a jam session last night without Angah and it was kinda terrible. I mean, 3 piece is hollow. And we got a few weeks before our Singapore gigs. This is currently a mess. Angah will be available next week but Udin have somethin to do by then so we'll most probably go fer another jam session on the other week. I'm nervous. Yeah and excited too.

Speakin bout the Singapore gigs, I still didn't receive any flyers or such but Fahmi said that it's confirmed. I can't find my passport and I remember that it'll expire on May this year. I heard that it'll cost me around RM300 to renew that. Sheesh. Hmm, where the hell did she put my passport? Later.

AngelClaw's jam session DVD, I missed a job offer... Grrr

I saw the DVD of our (AngelClaw) jammin session and it's quite fun and funny to watch ourselves went monkeys in it. Too bad Fahmi burnt the vidz into DVD which sadly, I've no DVD devices whatsoever so I just have to make do with watchin it in his house.

I just missed a darn good job because my mobile phone broke. My friend been tryin to contact me fer weeks to tell me bout the job offer but because of my darn phone went loonie, another lucky brat got the job. *sigh*. There's another job offered (he came to my office last Saturday tellin me bout it) so all hope is not lost. Maybe, just maybe, it's my day. Later.

Monday, January 10, 2005

Oh my... AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHH you won't believe this! I'm so sure you won't. I still can't believe it too! AHHHHHHH!!! Omigosh! AHHHHHH. Calm down.. *inhale...*. What's the story anyway? Well... here it goes...

Fractured will most probably be playin in Singapore this March...

There. I spew it. Too soon to expose it though but heck, I'm so happy I'm wettin my pants! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!

*p/s: I originally wrote that the gigs we're gonna be playin is in May but the exact month is March. Sorry. Too excited I guess. So it's sooner than I previously stated (I knew it's in March but I wrongly put it as May). This is a correction. Sorry fer any inconveniences.

I'm on home video

I'm still havin problem with the "batu karang" and thankfully it's not as painfull as 4 days ago. I've been delayin the recheck I've said before but it's mandatory so I guess it'll be soon.

Despite my illness, me and AngelClaw went fer a jam session last night and Fahmi brought his new-bought camcorder with him. So we got more than 1 hour of headbangin session caught on video! Now to wait fer him to burn the video into CD so I can send it to Akademi Fantasia fer selection... Hah!..

Friday, January 07, 2005

I'm not feelin well...

It's confirmed that I have "batu karang". Went to clinic yesterday and my urine sample does confirm this. I'm havin difficulties tryin to take a leak fer 4 days now. I'm sure that I had this problem before when I was a kid but it disappeared soon afterward. Seems that it just temporarily disappeared and now it got me again. So officially, I'm on pills now and I got medical leave fer 2 days (probably more coz I have to go do some recheckin later on). Do wish me luck on that.

I was fined fer RM30.00 today fer parkin my bike at my usual spot. Drats. I'm already broke and now another thing came and try to burn more holes on my pocket. Sheesh...

I'm on medication so I'm feelin like I'm gonna catch a fever. Later.

It's 2005

Happy New Year! But still, this year ended with a sad memory. The disaster that stroke our beloved country and killed hundreds of people will always remind us bout other people's sufferin fer years to come. Hopefully, this will be the only disaster forever.

New year brings yet another hope fer a better future and life. There'll be some decision that will change my life and I hope I made the right choice. Sometime sacrificin somethin that you love doin fer a hope that somethin new that you're into will be much better, is hard. But well, risks are meant to be taken, not scared.

Later. 2004 ended in sadness, so let's pray that 2005 will bring happiness to all of us.

Broke.

I'm freakin broke now... Ahh.. Due to my outrageous spendin this month (not to mention my 1st Streamyx's bill etc) plus my allowance is most probably frozen (again... I love my job..) so it's not totally unpredictable.

Later..

Saturday, December 25, 2004

I saw meself on video..

I just got the last gigs's (Musician's Gathering gigs) video on CD today. Kinda cool actually. Fractured were featured playin 3 songs:

The Bodybag - near the end of the song
Immaculate - Dimension Zero cover - nearly the whole song
Blinded By Fear - At The Gates cover - just the intro (darn!)

and we were nasty.. uhh. Time to get our own camcorder I guess. Grr. Can't wait fer another gigs. Yeah!

..

Sometime we're unconciously walkin back through the memory lane and before we know it, those shitty images of bad experiences just fall splat right on our face. So the current hippy-mood we're havin just rotted like a stinkin trash can. The bitter memories then slaps us like some dumb boybands on mtv and it'll keep buggin us like we got nothin else that's more precious to think, like our braincells are fully reserved fer decodin and computin those darn thoughts and yet, there's nothin we can do bout it. We can just hold a big breath, tryin to realise that we shouldn't care nor give a fart. But so, at least, those things are history. Shoo!

Yes, I'm in a bad mood right now....

Saturday, December 18, 2004

Found some old pictures of me. Really old.

Well, well. What do you know. My kid sister kept a few old pictures which I'm in it. Great! I was enjoyin meself lookin at me as a kid. Haha. Sure I'll scan those pictures and put it in my homepage. There's many more pictures of me back at my kampung but I kept fergettin meself to take it when I went there. I really want those pictures badly. So do check back my homepage later to see if I've uploaded those wacky pictures of me. Don't hold any laughters though because way back then when I was a kid, my pictures are meant to be laugh at. Hehe. You'll see. Later!

The king is dead.... R.I.P Dimebag Darrel..

This is sad. I saw this news on local tv yesterday and I was shocked. I still am. Damn. Dimebag Darrel, ex-axeman fer Pantera was shot dead while performin fer his new band Damageplan. SHOT DEAD! I read some report that he took a few shots by the killer. Fuck. Why? Fuckin psycho. I can't help to swear. Sometime people are fuckin stupid. What the hell that Dimebag do to make people wanna kill him? His brother, Vinnie Paul was shot too in the incident. This is a sad day and a dark history of metal.

I was a fan of Pantera when I heard Vulgar Display Of Power when I was still in highschool. I still am a fan. Fuckin shit. I'm still in shock. The fag who shot Dime is the biggest pussy of all time. That psycho is the product of this crazy world of hate today. What do you get when guns are available to psychos everwhere? This is the result. You got one more great influence in metal dead. Yeah I'm fuckin emotional right now. This is a great loss. I'm sad. I'm readin www.metalunderground.com and they have 1 article with a picture of Dime and Phil together and I'm sad to see the pic.

The stage, where bands and audiences became brothers, is no longer safe. Metal will never be the same again. To us metalheads, let's play tribute to the genius.

Rest In Peace, Dimebag Darrel.

Lamb Of God & 1000 visitors

Heard bout the band Lamb Of God? They say they're playin 'Pure American Metal' style anyway it's still Death Metal to me. Great band. Check it out!

Looks like my website is reachin fer its 1000 visitor's milestone. Wow. Yeah that's not much but fer a site like mine, it's cool. Only a few people actually sign the darn guestbook though. So, I guess you won't mind? :P

8910, Samosa & Futsal

Bout Nokia 8910. I went to KL 2 days ago to pick that up. But instead of that specific model, I got meself 8910i! Hurrah! I was granted with less savings too! And Raya is gettin nearer. Ouch. Anyway, who cares if I'm broke on raya anyway? I'm searchin fer usefull proggies fer my 8910i.

Do you know kuih Samosa? I used to call it 'Karipap 3 segi' back then in Muar. Hehe, it's marvelously yummy. Why am I tellin you this? Because I found that kuih in KL and it's still marvelously yummy.

I'm gonna try out Futsal soon. Fahmi, my drummer was evangelisin it after his 1st try few days ago. Darn. Ole Ole! Later!

I fergot what I wanna put in here because I can't open blogger last night. Been waitin fer the login screen forever so I gave up. Now, I'm kinda lost on what I wanna write.

Workin? ohh no.. not yet.

Wow, my boss called this mornin askin if I'm comin to work today. Huh? I wonder which part of 'motorcycle accident' he didn't understand. Grr. I was supposed to go fer job huntins tomorrow but lookin at my current state, ack, I don't think I'm in the right condition. Still, I'm plannin to get a new job after Hari Raya.

My sleep ain't that sweet anymore coz I kept hurtin the scars and wakin up. Still can't play bass but air-bassin will make do.

I just uploaded another picture of me on my website. Old pic but I just got it. Later

Wednesday, October 20, 2004

Ouch

If only I have a camera or somethin, surely I'll upload the pic of my left hand here. Heh. Nasty. Who knows, the pic can be used on Fractured's new CD cover or somethin. Nasty. Oh, I've said that already huh.

Urhh. It still stings like mad. Ouch.

Another freakin accident... again.

*Sigh*. I was caught in another road accident yet again. On my way to work, a dog came out runnin from my right hittin the front tyre settin me and my bike slidin fer a few metres. Thank God here was no other vehicle comin my way or else it'll get worst. The front fork is damaged, side mirror shattered, few scratches on the fairin and the engine sounds pretty awefull. I'm pissed off. Very.

Me? My left hand's fingers are pretty much bleeds (I can't remember why my my left hand bleeds because I fell on my right side) and so is the palm. My right elbow have this big bloody bruise because of the slidin impact. 2 more bloody scars has been added up on my right knee. My right hand's shoulder is still hurts because of the impact of fallin. Looks like I can't play bass fer a few days.

My flak jacket (the green military jacket, quite tough) was torn badly on the right arm so I'm pretty lucky I wore that. My pants are torned in a few areas and that's the end of that. Drats. Well, at least it could get worst. I'm left with just a pair of workin pants so I'll have to get another pair.

3 accidents while workin in this company, I guess that is pretty much enough already. Gotta find another job. Ah well, at least I got a few days off. Later.

Kept fergettin to change the darn topic..

Yeah. If you look at my previous blog's title, you'll know that it've been a few times already that I fergot to change the darn topic/title. Ah well, I'm too lazy to edit that..

One of my buddy borrowed my Burning Bridges CD and now it've been a few days. *sigh*. No scratch please..

At last, there's a ready stock of 8910! I'll probably parachute to KL before the end of this month and grab that. I took a peek at http://www.lelong.com.my and they have lotsa stuff includin pda phone etc etc goin fer cheap price. Whoa, this must be some 'test' or somethin to get me to ferget 8910. Urhh. Hang on Karl, hang on.

I'm thinkin bout writin (probably rantin more nonsenses) somethin in my website and I was burstin with ideas a few mins ago. Now? Err. Blurry. Drats. Later.

Alsemo's Homepage V.2

I saw the gigs picture yesterday and whoa, i look really nasty. so, to avoid losin potential chicks from diggin me or thinkin that i'm such an evil, i refrain meself from postin those pictures ... Haha! Well, probably later I'll post the pics.

Me and the Fractured's guys has already taken our photo and it'll be a few days till I can get the copies. Until then, stop droolin..

Today was the last day of my FTB1 course at Takaful Nasional. What is FTB1? Family Takaful Basic. Free food aside, I've learned many things which I never knew before. There was also Proper Advice Practice course and Cross-Sale course included so the 2 days course was absolutely great.

I'll probably go job huntin in this Ramadhan so wish me luck on that. Later.

The heck...

The hell. There was a gigs today in Seremban and I was the last one to know anythin bout it. Drats. I went to Seremban just now and the gigs was already over aeons ago. And the Fleur somethin band was there too. Double drats. But I saw the video one of my buddy recorded. Ah well. I'm better (yeah rite..).

I've uploaded another track from Fractured's demo to i-bands.net. Mebbe tomorrow we'll start our photograph session fer the band.

AngelClaw's website suspended....

Yes. Because of inactivity, the domain has suspended my account fer AngelClaw's website. Heck. Sure I can re-register or such, but what am I gonna update in there? Still no new songs etc. Everybody in the band is busy on their everyday life. Anyway, I'll upload the website when AngelClaw are ready fer the exposure. e/g: when we have our own songs, demo, gigs (ahhh!) and/or goth chick fer each of us...

Still.. it's sad.

My song on the net

I've downloaded a track from Fractured's demo album on www.i-bands.net

Album: Arch Gate of Insanity (Demo)
Song: Inside The Bodybag

You can visit my band's page at http://www.i-bands.net/audiovault/bands/809
click Enter and then choose the Music menu to download or stream the song I've uploaded there.

What is I-bands.net? It's a community portal fer underground musician all over Malaysia to be heard. It has lotsa stuff like forum, web space (to store even mp3 files!) all provided fer free.

Do listen to the song and tell me bout it. Later.

Bored

I'm bored. Dreamin bout another gigs. Sigh. It's hard when you don't have other hobbies. Funny though after I registered the 1515 dialup, I'm kinda dunno what to do while online. Urh.

Ah, my Slayer - Raining Blood and Arch Enemy - Burning Bridges new CDs have arrived. Great.

Heard bout an all-girl grind-death-metal band Fluers Du Mal (I hope the spellin's right) and Fahmi said they're really awesome. Singaporean band if you're wonderin. Eh, I gotta see em perform.

Love of my life.. quite


Ah, another picture. This is the picture of my love life. No, it's not my TR Series. This is an EDA-900. My dream lover. Hah! I dunno how much it cost fer this baby in Malaysia but I'm sure it's a pocket-burner. Lovely aye? Uh, don't tell that to my TR Series, she get jealous sometime. Posted by Hello

New dialup account, the mess continues...

Ah. Now I can consider meself actively online again. No. The darn streamyx ain't here yet but I just registered the 1515 dialup. Honestly, if TMNet didn't made the registration available online I wouldn't bother registerin. But because it's online (I'm usin the newly registered login now), it's fast, hussle-free and not to mention cheaper; lotsa cheaper than the prepaid account so I'm practically sold. Hey, credit's where credit due and I'm not anti-TMNet whatsoever though most of the time, uhm, I'm a bit harsh on em. Ah. Fergot to add 1 more reason why I registered. Yeah, it's the darn streamyx. That's it. No more hopin fer the miracle to happen. But if it's available (the streamyx), heck count me in. My FreeBSD can't use the built in modem yet so streamyx is somewhat a life saver.

I thought of somethin.. Is there really anybody who read all this nonsenses I've written? Answers are not required though coz I'm just wonderin. Ah well, at least I do read all this.. or some of it.. ok honestly just the few latest addition. Hah!
