first band. nice vocals. i like.

the smoke machine was just bad. it was so thick i choked.

sigh, i fail so bad. idk what i was tryna take. flash with slow shutter. tbh, i was just experimenting.

no flash. gig photography = MUST USE FLASHHHHH

slapped on selective colors as usual. i wanna work on my colorings. this is TA's vocalist. he sounds like awesomesauce yo.

this is a dude, bodysurfing(duh) and prolly one of the nicest shots of bodysurfing people i took. if you know him, kindly direct him this picture.

the color orange is simply adorable eh.

ooOOOoOOOooOo SspOookYyy
-_-

light dance! + colourings

wah cool ah cool. NOTT.

this is rico. he's mary's boyf right? barricade's vocalist. he's awesome too.

that's what you get when you take a pictures of 2 singing awesomesauces.

-----------------------------THE END OF PICSPAM ----------------------------


k, done with pics. nothing much and no selcas because i fail. i fail so bad i fail all the time. sigh. should i improve on gig photography? or just scrap the idea and just build my forte on something else. sheesh.

i keep thinking back how much fail yester-night was. it was so... i nv enjoy myself at gigs. sigh. it's official. it's a sign.

Transitions.
i think im feeling sick. it's been a long day today. went over to Tanglin at 9am and headed to the gig at 7.

awkward gig is awkward. today, i can't believe i spent $15 attening a gig, with a room full of strangers, i didn't even have a proper conversation with anyone and my pictures are bad.

how many times do i hafta remind myself that gig/concert photography is not for me! and wow. in every 10 men, 8 owns a DSLR. i wonder how these people afford these babies.

imma sleep and pictures tmr, hopefully.

Ignite! 2009
ignite was awsum, kinda.

i wanted to go there early to catch the openning act but i missed it because i had no one to go with and had to go with my brother and his punk friend, azhar.

reached RP at 5ish and saw afew people and the band who played first just ended. :S i swear all eyes were on 3 of us when we were walking towards W4 wtf. hahah yeah, we were so mismatch and out of place, kinda.

hung out at the canteen for some time commenting blabla. it was blazing hot i tell you. and before sunset, the whole Ignite area seemed like a private party/gig. haha.

so my brother left me alone as he went to smoke and i just enjoyed myself with the music. head bobbing, foot tapping, body swaying A-L-O-N-E but wth, idc eh eh eh eh eh.

fatskunks was aweeeesome. they got the crowd grooving! GSE's crowd just wanted to mosh all the way. :/ mmmm who else. november's rush was awesome too.

ive srsly lost touch with loud, live guitar riffs, beats, double pedals and the beats. sigh. i just can't be updated with the local scene because im busy with kpop and the 50s. sigh.

i swear 50% of the pictures in my cam, i don't know them at all. some bunch of hooligans next to me who wanted to mosh to every song and they asked me to snap a pic of them. lol.

so overall, yeah. it was okay. not that bad. it wasn't hardcore. pretty chilling. pity i didn't make any donations or whut. i just wanted to get it over and done with.

wished i had friends to hang out with during gigs. goodnight.

Okie Dok(ie)!
yesterday i played scrabble and my sister placed a pair of green panties on my head. T_T so anyway.

now. what did i want to blog about... yes! Mosaic at Esplanade! i am soooo going for Mocca's and Copy Machine, a Korean ska band. so kakyam told me abt it and i was kdljsgjkgjk so me being me, i livesearched it up and ppooof! i came across Copy Machine's mv.



its korean ska! uin likes it. and its okie dok, not okie dokie. lol. i cant their other songs so...im kinda anticipating next wednesday. i kinda miss normal songs. lol. i mean. not kpop. i wanna check out soompi kunderground next time. kpoppunk, kska or smtg.

am so glad i traded days with fiona so i could go to Esp on wed. work was alrite today. at 2057, i hogged the master and watched movie trailers. once it hit 2100, quickly kept everything and ran off. WHEEE. but sundays are so eerie and desserted. ergh. pesky rats.

i even recognise one. the tail is a lil eeky and weird and short and torn. KLJDLKGJFJF. i think that's the sensei. wtf.

bye gais.

EDIT

oh yeah. heard the news? the er. Sunny? the one playing those 3 mean girls in BOF? she comitted suicide. very scary. and freaky. and sad that she died, hanging herself. im constantly worrying about how BOF would progress from now.

hope nothing else bad would happen to the show and casts. RIP, Jang Ja Yeon.

Learn to let go. That is the key to happiness. - The Buddha.


i found it somewhere in my phone. probably some quote i found in a book and saved it in my drafts. haha.

today. i woke up very late. say...almost 3? ahaa. gosh. i wanted to wake up. but. i kept sleeping. mother was taking a nap. no one else at home.

told mother i was going out to orchard to watch a peformance and yeah. did a lil of dishes, laundry, cooked rice and got dressed.

met ama at FEP and walked around abit while waiting for Jeyd. and that was where my dear shitkin who i've not bumped into this year/+most of last year AT ALL. gosh. so many things to catch up. but. yeah. time. does not permit. rili nice to see her. [:

saw Tacit Aria setting up and stuff and the 3 of us stood next to some green thing. hhaa. their peformance was like. too short? haha. and. idk why. idk if its me. but they sound nicer. than the peformance at SAM. lol. iono. srsly.

took a few pics of the band with jeyd's 350D since mine was with my feeling-feeling-photojournalist-brother. said hello to a few and bumped into Faiz. ahaha. walked together to Tangs and parted. i got myself a scarf at Cotton On and we went home.

well. thanks for the short, impromptu and slightly quiet trip. :) can't wait for tmr's session. ahhaa. and back to work on sunday with azrie stalking me. geez. because of him, i can never go to NTUC happily. HAHHAHAHAHA.

ft island released 나쁜여자. and its great! we get to see the highly anticipated Song Seung Hyun and he did great in the MV. every girl wished she's either the 5 girls who gets to get all tingly with them. i volunteer to be the girl with jaejin/jonghun. HAHA. okay enjoy.

Times like this, I could use a cup of mint tea made with love by Jonghun. ♥

Refresh 2009
lead vocalist.


uh, the bassist. hydhir's brother....no?



ris on guitar/the other vocalist


hydhir on drums.

uh, the fellow guitarist.

TACIT ARIA
tehseet aree-ah

was refresh, the name of the (free) gig i went to just now? well whatever. ahhaa. so the plan today.....is to go to the Glass House (so digi) at SAMuseum to take pictures during hydhir's band, Tacit Aria performance.

me and jeyd tried to make our way to the Arts Museum but...we ended up at the National Arts Museum where we bumped into Siti! the crazy, looney, bird presenter. i broke her hair band, spilled sunflower seeds. HAHA. i miss herrrr~

we were making our way to the counterdesk and she went, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!" and hugged us. aww. she was like, "korang nak tgk tak, museum die? nah, i give you the tickets."

AWWW. THANKS SITIIII. DIDN'T GET TO THANK YOU PROPERLY AND I MISS YOU!

so, me and jeyd started our lil adventure at the museum. (i iz nort fan of museum) we were greeted by swinging red chandliers. SCARY. hahahaa. given this device which would explain to us about the particular exhibit.

i was clinging onto Jeyd at the beginning because it was so dark. plus the audio. lol. jeyda was all, "ish! kalau kau datang sini dgn laki..either die tinggalkan kau atau die pon nak manje2 skali. rabak lah shid!"

ahahhahaa. the museum was fun! we spent like half an hour there. left at 6 when hydhir's performance is at 5.30. T_T

===================================================================
so as soon as me and jeyd rusheddd there, THEY WEREN'T ONSTAGE YET. zzz. haha. waved at familiar faces and waited for their set. was busyyy snapping shots. hahaa.

high ISO; grainy pictures, dim lights; not soo sharp pics. using jeyd's zoom lens: shaky hands;no tripod. sad.

boo. my pics weren't that great. tho i got a few fav shots. and im like so embarrassed lah. they freakin post my pictures at their myspace. ah. compared to their personal photographer... my pics are like so.........but that guy's a photographer, he'd understand my position.

hahaa. so....Gig/Concert photography is off my list. totally, not for me. :) left SAM and bought a cake for brother.
yay. got to smear tiramisu on his cheek. muahahaha. im actually hungry. that's why my entry is...totally asal boleh.

results tmr. dead. goodnight.

hate.
" ultrasound = alone"


yesterday. June 1st 2008.


during tuition i felt like the world was stepping on me when working out this particular sum. i felt like crying and running. ah. life..

bought a monopoly/pinball pen at metro. i wanted to get the tamagotchi but was busy thinking of its pros and cons. so im still considering abt that.

home, changed into my new checkered shirt plus my pants and slippers. didnt get to comb my hair and left in a hurry. fie, hydhir and ais are a bunch of punctual people. good? ahha.

met and blablabla. well. i just wrote in my diary for much more precise points. it wasnt a pleasant sight during the journey to artshouse. urgh. angry?

once we reached, it was like. a field of black. haha. except us+suqi's band and friends. haha. we're the normal people yo. once we entered, (*my first time there and gig!) got a seat and yeah. settled down and that was when everyone started leaving.

i sat there in that very seat named, SAFRA ROAD taking care of all the bags. i felt like a valet parking person!!! bitch. so yeah. all i got left was my eos and handphone. i should have brought along a magazine or just bought that damn tamagotchi. so like, 95% of the whole 5 hours there i was alone, with the bags. hello loner.

and after waiting a lightyear, Ezekiel [read: easy-kill] [macam nama adik kau kan?] performed. my camera was like being thrown to everyone. gees. the wonders. they're pretty good for a good band. tho the sound was abit.... eeik. ahha. well its okay for their first gig. yes yes i know. my presence was appreciated, i think.

left artshouse at like 2328hrs? rushed back to cityhall all because fairul scared us by saying the last train would be at 2330hrs. mad or mad? haha. jokes, jealousy, sarcasm, silence along the way.

in all. i just had a good time thanks to the music and camera. i didnt really enjoy myself. don't ask. ergh. i wish things were much better.

goodnight.
watching you, watching her.
