Indie Fest@Studio V,Rainforest,One Utama

We had our open mic today.We played 4 songs.Actually,we were told to play 3 songs but they started recording late so they told us to play another song.Our usual playlist line up would Wake Up,Maya,Mental and I Don't Live.We had a blast although we waited since 11am-ish,we performed at about 2pm.

The problem started with us trying to register and the organizers came late.Then,we finally registered and then the waiting began.Bittersweet were supposed to do a soundcheck but they took up almost an entire hour coz their 2nd guitarist came superlate.We had fun though listening and watching them jam.

Shu made sure that we were the first band to play the open mic coz Kamal starts work at about 2:30pm.We were rushing for time.Finally,Kamal called a colleague to cover him and he went to work at about 3pm.It was tiring but fun.

There were other music acts like a band of school boys who calls themselves Chain Letters (I think) and then 2 solo acoustic acts who were Arif and Justin.I think the sound system needed to be looked into a little more.Shu said that if we stood outside and listen to the performances,the sound was perfect.

Anywho,went home.Then,we went to Ammah's house for Deepavali like we do every year.It was Shu's first time celebrating Deepavali at someone's place.We had freshly cooked food which were AWESOME!Ammah had been sick so she couldn't cook.Her daughter,Sumitha did all the cooking for her today.The vadais are as awesome as ever.The tosai too ;)

Shu and I managed to rush over Ayumi's place for the open house.A lot of people have already gone home but we just sat and chatted and ate some more for a bit.Then,we headed home.

Looking forward to spending tomorrow just chilling with Shu.

CK Music,Jalan Imbi,KL

It was a long and funny journey to KL and back coz there was a horrible traffic jam but we finally got around to meeting Migo (the dude who's gonna do the track by track recording for us) and we finally went to the music store Kamal's been telling us about.I am so going to get those cables I've been wanting for so long!

Kamal told us a very scary tale that happened to him early before dawn of Friday morning.He witnessed someone getting stabbed over at BU's McD at Centrepoint.He said that some guy stole some other guy's laptop and that this other guy chased the thief and the thief stabbed him and drove off.Kamal was the one who called the ambulance and he said it took them 32 minutes to get to the injured dude.

There are shitloads of people at the place and noone saw or did anything?WTF?!And the dude got stabbed!From the back to the front and the knife went through his kidneys and came out the front!WTF?!

Anywho,tonight's jamming session went mad.Rashid actually tried playing the drum to Wake Up in a ska mode.WTF?!I kept missing cues and Kamal's guitar was too noisy.I almost tripped on the keyboard stand and instead of stepping on the distortion pedal,I stepped on the mic stand!WTF?!
