Since there is nothing much to do

Shu decided to record a video of me covering a Hanson song


Thursday, May 28, 2020

I introduced Shu to this band and now he won't stop listening to this song


I love this song. This song and Our Farewell........


Of course,they have heavier songs but I discovered this band back when I was a freshman in college from one of those compilation celtic music CDs.

The best part about today's family gathering.....

..... Was when my aunt insisted that I conformed to a color for Qarim's "engagement" ceremony.

I insist on wearing black because 90% of my clothes are black.

We started our day super early. Well, I hardly slept last night. No idea why. We got home at around 11pm last night. We were at Aimi's house lighting up fireworks and sparklers. It was so much fun.

We jammed a little on my acoustic guitar when we got home coz I couldn't sleep. I've been writing again. Lyrics and songs. I miss this feeling :)

Shu and I were already having morning coffee at about 7am this morning. Shu put on some Hari Raya songs on the amplifier. We performed our prayer together and quickly got ready coz our rendezvous point was at Aimi's house and we thought we were running late.

Turns out, we were early. So, while everyone else was praying, Shu, Safiyya and I had breakfast. I brought my own coffee coz I am an addict. Our annual event would usually consist of "Salam" and photo sessions.

Then, at about 1pm,we went home. Showered and got ready to go to Taman Tun. I was so happy to see everyone there. My uncle was there. My aunt was there. Anas and Jaja were there. My brothers were all at home. Wani came back later with Simon and the kids. I haven't seen them in a long while.

Selamat Hari Raya peeps! 

Our comrades.

Shu surprised me with this today

This is a Fender Bullet Stratocaster Hard Tail and an Orange 12 watts amplifier 

I haven't been playing with the electric guitar for so long. It's a bit strange but the C neck is so ergonomic for my liking. It's way lighter than my LTD Viper 50 which was my very first electric guitar. All my life, all the jamming sessions and gigs, I had always been with my LTD. This is new feel. I like it. I should probably see if Rashid still has my Mega Distortion pedal 😒

Thank you, baby!

Apocalyptica Live Concert May 14th 2020


I waited for this since their last live posting........ And then, they played Hope and it brings me back to a place where I used to roam alone in my thoughts...... ❤️

So we made it to my parents house today.....

Shu said he wanted to cook and bring food over so that we can all eat together. It's been over 2 months since we've actually visited any family at all. It wasn't everyone coz Wani and Simon and the kids were not there and my aunt was at Wani's house. It was good that it wasn't crowded but it was not everyone. Still keeping our social Distancing in check. Shu and I jammed a little. Showed my dad the song we've been practicing throughout the quarantine. It was fun. My brothers had a good laugh over some silly jokes my parents could never understand.

Eeno is my younger brother but he looks like he's older than me. 

I have played this particular semi acoustic guitar since I could remember ever playing guitar. 

Food. The ones that Shu cooked and the ones my mom cooked and some that she bought.
