photoshoot-ing

This is what happens when I forget to attend my convocation!Damn it!My folks made sure I showed up at the studio in TTDI at 3pm on SUNDAY!I completely knocked out the whole of Saturday.Had breakfast with Shu after work and headed for Bangi.Fell asleep at about 11:30am and when I finally got up for real,it was 1am!I slept through the entire Saturday!

Anywho,I managed to do my make up properly and got to the studio on time.The house is a mess.We're still packing.Finally got some movers confirmed.Managed to inform TM that we'll be relocating so they're gonna have to install the Unifi in the new place AFTER we've moved in.

Hahahahahahaahahaahahah!!!!!!!

We managed to get to the mall first thing in the morning on Sunday only to be the first ones down the LEX slide!We so did it!WE SO DID IT!IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!

moving!

Shu and I went to see the apartment we'll be moving into in November.In the meantime,we should be packing already but I'm just packing up the suitcase of clothes for the week since we won't be staying here in Subang very much.Also,I'll be driving from tonight onwards due to overlapping shifts.

It does seem like we're spending so much more but believe me,we are actually cutting down costs.

As most people are aware of the fact that I accidentally missed my convocation some weeks ago,mum said she'll get the robe for me this week and we'll start taking photos in the studio this weekend.Seriously,I have no clue how this works but I'm just gonna go with the flow.

Kecik is FAT and Apple is long.Hahahahahaha!

After a long gap of badminton games,Shu and I took a risk at it by diving into a round or two of badminton games with my dad yesterday.I have recently injured my left knee (apart from my already injured right knee) and the game yesterday might have made it worse.I don't know for sure.............

from work to jamming to gig and back to work

And I looked like crap on Friday night by the time I got to my workplace.Either ways,I made it through the performance as well as work.

I must say,we always complain about Malaysian timing and everything but seriously,it starts from the young and that unfortunate trait is brought along with them till they grow older.WTF?!

Apart from the organizers themselves were not organized and just chucked their jobs onto Jaz,the so called bands who were supposed to perform that day didn't just ditch the gig,they didn't even bother calling the organizers to tell them that they weren't coming.Your band's names were on that list that night and I can assure you that they shall be blacklisted from any upcoming gigs!

If you're not gonna turn up,you could just inform everyone.

Thanks to these idiots,my band performed at 8pm as the 4th band that night instead of the 7th band.I'm not complaining.Jaz was upset.Originally,the whole event was supposed to start earlier in the day.It was supposed to start at 6pm and the sound check was earlier that afternoon.So by right,bands who were supposed to perform earlier in the gig should have already been there..........but they weren't.

I doubt if its about timing anymore.I think it's about not knowing how to be professional.

All I know was that we were all there when we were supposed to and we played our songs like how we were supposed to.

officially HP

Shu has joined the HP team!YEYNESS!

The only set back we gotta work with at the moment is that his shift starts at 9am till 6pm while I start work at 8pm till 5am.So yeah,we don't see much of each other on weekdays.However,the best part is that Shu is already working at the new HP campus.I'll only be moving there with my team in December (I think)

No,we're not supporting the same team.Our managers are different.I just got a head start.That's all.Thanks to my seniors,I got my claims already!YEYNESS!!!

I can't wait to move to the new place coz they have a gym there so I'm gonna make sure I'll make full use of the place ;)

RadioEdit band biography:FINALLY!

RadioEdit was formed back in February 07 consisting of Fidzy on vocal and rhythm, Kamal on lead guitar,Aie on bass and Rash on drums. The band played in various small acts and functions around the Klang Valley area. The band has a reasonably wide range of influence in their music writing. All the band members have played in several other cover bands before forming RadioEdit. The band's material were influenced by punk rock,grunge and blues.

The band :-

Fidzy is the main lyricist for the band.She wrote most of the songs for the band. She has named The Darkness,Avril Lavinge, Lady Gaga , Adam Lambert and Danny Elfman as her inspiration in music. Where lyric writing is concerned, Emily Dickinson plays a very huge part in giving her a kick start. She uses Ltd Viper 50 electric guitar when performing on stage.She started playing guitar at the age of 13.

Kamal is the lead guitarist for the band. He also contributes the composition for almost all the song.He started playing the instrument at the age of 12. Having played in several cover bands, his main influence in music was Joe Perry ,Jimi Hendrix and Slash. He was generally self taught but he did attend theory classes held by his grandfather.Kamal uses a Craftman RG300 electric guitar through a velvet Rocktron distortion.

Aie is the bassist for the band.He is the eldest of all the band mates. He wrote the composition for Maya and Wake Up. In his earlier years, he played several gigs in the Melaka punk rock scene. He has stated Greenday,Gerhana Ska Cinta and Rancis as a few of his influences in music. He is also self taught. Aie uses Ibanez 4 strings electric bass as his instrument of choice on stage.

Rash is the drummer for the band.He is also the younger brother to Fidzy.He has been performing on stage with bands such as Modar,Rustic Rose and Ataxia. His drumming plays a major role in shaping RadioEdit's material. He has played several gigs across the country.

The band's music :-
RadioEdit wrote most of their material based on life experiences and perspectives of their surroundings. The band uses alot of emotions in their lyrics.This can be heard in their songs I don`t live and Maya. Composition wise, they uses their grunge and punk influences with a little bluesy edge. All this is blended and altered so that it can be accepted by the overall listeners. Their song covers stories about anger , love , the oppressed, and views about the stuff that is going on everyday.Their first live demo entitled "Mental Vacation" is scheduled to be released next month.

Fun Fact : Kamal first suggested "Purple Radio"(due to his fanatical obsession to Deep Purple) for the band`s name but later settled for RadioEdit after having discovered that purple is the universal gay color.
