After one whole month of crazy hard work, finally it’s time for fun - Exact ADC monthly happy hour. This time we had fun at Titan (a new club behind Passion/Poppy).
This was also my first test of my new Canon S2 IS camera, still not so familiar with the functions provided, but the quality of photos are impressed me enough. So these are the photos captured.
Have been one month never post a blog… This month was so busy, finishing freelance projects, took MCP exam, company had system test before launching, KLCC fire drill…
And finally today have time to go wandering in Mid Valley and Sg Wang. Bought 2 valueable things that light up my day: Beyond The Story Live 2005 DVD and Feel 100% vol. 15.
The DVD has poster, postcards inside, and good packaging too.
The Feel 100% comic, a comic that I’ve read since more than 10 years ago, the author’s work no doubt is clean and nice, but the speed is too slow, alomost one volumn per year. This new volumn is not disappointed as usual, still full of phylosophy theories and funny ideas, plus beautiful art works too. It’s gonna be end at next volumn (should be pulbished in next year…) Strange feeling that a comic that accompany me passed thru secondary school life, college life and working life is going to end soon…
Last night went to Newcom again, this time is a gig organized by Soundwall. Met some friends there, including new fren Ken, the handsome bassist on Met Mercury, hehe… . Cool performance from Uglymen, thanks for the head banging session, and thanks to Ten, Beh, Tat, Hong, Jimmy, Nao bassist and folks from Citizen of Icecream on head banging and pogo together, had fun on it 
Yeah, it’s another blog about rock show… haha… too much of it? xp
Last night went for Soundscape Band Competition Final. Went with my colleague Kok Tong and his friend Siang, and of course my gang of fellows.
There were 9 bands competed last night, top 3 bands from each state Penang, KL and Melacca. Competition took place at Channel Dance Club which previously known as Warp. Although it was scheduled to start at 8pm but the competition started at around 8:30pm
The competition was started with Dian Bang (Electronic Stick). They are a band of 2, playing music with PCs and guitars which is quite new in local scene. The electronic stuffs they played were quite new too. But the lengthy time taken to set up was already made the whole competition become a little bit cold due to the technical problem on the P.A. systems.
The second band, Dream Machine, a band from Sarawak, their nu-metal tracks quickly brought the heat up to the Club. Very good show from them. Although there were problems on guitar amp (anyway the P.A. system giving problems all night long, a lot of technical problems happened and lot’s of time was wasted)
Grey Area, a band from Penang.
Beginner, from KL, skillfull band
Sensitive Spot, from Malacca
White Light, the champion of the Penang area. Playing post rock. Their post rock is powerful, they were really qualified for champion of Penang area, enjoyed their music.
Next was the Citizen of Icecream, another band with full of experience playing post rock in local scene. They taken long time to set up as well, and the P.A. system kept on giving them lot’s of technical problems.
Slap is another band from Sarawak competed yesterday.
They have few years of experience in performing, skillful and experienced.
Finally it’s the turn of the most-awaiting band of the night ‘Deng Deng’ (Wait For A While). This newly formed hardcore-punk band was the band brought up the only pogo session in the competition. However the fun time of pogo was so short coz we were stopped by bouncers and security staffs on Chanel Dance Club.
Next was the guest performing session by Hong Kong indie pop queen The Pancakes, a telented musician. Her song "Gum Gum Gum" appeared in movie ‘McDull, Price de la Bun’ has won the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards "Best Original Film Song" year 2004. What really impressed me is, according to Silent Keat, one of the competition staffs, she is friendly, polite and easy going. This is really different from other HK stars.
Last was the prize giving time. The Most Experimental Award was given
to Citizen of Icecream. 2nd Runner Up to White Light, First Runner Up
to Dream Machine, and the champion went to Deng Deng as expected most
of the audience.
Finally finished this blog after working for 2 hours non stop, Friendster blog editor is killing me >_< the positioning of photos is so difficult!
Last Saturday went to Halo Cafe at South City Plaza to watch a gig ‘The Band Sound #1′, 4 bands were playing: Soundwall, Met Mercury, Malito and Uglymen. A lot of rock music lovers attent to the gig. However everybody jus sat and watch the performance. The show was getting hot while Uglymen playing coz they really knows how to interact with audience. Met new friends Mavis, and Uglymen’s friend Beh there with Ten, and Seok Kheng too.
Yesterday night went to Channel Dance Club (Previously known as WARP Dance Club) for Soundscape band competition of KL Area. The 3 best bands of the night will elegible to take part in the final where will be held at 20th August.
There 6 bands took part last night, they were Slap, Met Mercury, Dream Machine, Zhang Wang (King of Funeral?), Deng Deng (Wait Wait) and Lang (Wave). They played very well and did make the audience enjoy of their music. Too bad my fellows were stucked in the jam only can reach when the last band Lang was playing. However they had fun while the prize given ceremony.

Joined my company’s monthly happy hour yesterday night at Thai Club. Had fun with colleagues, met new friends as well. 3 mugs of beer and 2 shots of Tequila Pop made me dizzy all way from Thai Club to home with LRT. As usual, took some photos, and as predicted, photos took in dark were very very bad - blur @_@ I really need a SLR…
Today stayed back a while in office, then left office around 7.45pm. When I reached LRT station, there was packed with people, seems like there was something happened to the LRT system. Even two trains were passed but whole station still crowded. So I’ve decided to go opposite to take the train to earlier station Ampang Park so that can get in to the train. 10 minutes later when I back to KLCC station again, I was ready for big crowd of people that will flood into the train. Surprisingly… the number of people in whole KLCC station waiting for my train has not more than 20 people!! Where have all those people gone in 10 minutes? ???@_@???
Today stayed in office until quite late, exam at Monday, so have to put more effort, but ended up reading chat message in circles99, haha…
When reach Bukit Jalil LRT station, I noticed the moon was so bright and beautiful, especially under the river beside the station (although now already become a big drain -_-"). Thought of took some photos but feel lazy, somemore no tripod… So just continue my journey to home, then received a SMS from Siew Pei, my old college mate, reminded me to watch the moon. Then I only have the guts to take photo… wasted le, if took at LRT station will be better, shouldn’t think too much, should follow the philosophy ‘Don’t think, just shoot’…
Well these are the photos taken, quite blur… sigh my camera can’t perform well in night time, when can i get a SLR? @-@
Such a long time didn’t rain in night time… I like raining night, feel cozy and comfortable, even better with the songs from soundtrack of Notting Hill, good for sleeping, haha… good night everyone!
