monkeying n dunking

haven't realized, it's been awhile.... yes, been so busy lately and for the longest time. been busy with a wholelotta things.

firstly, the long overdue website that i've been toying the idea about. been going back and forth with some ideas and finally settled with the colour and everything else.

been running alot and looking forward for my next run in Kuala Lumpur. yes, it's also my first break after a long time. it wont take me far, but what dream to have like a week off from work!

i played basket ball with friends from the office. shit, i love this game man.

this time la luna, i light my torch and wave it for the.....

the thing about cab drivers and fucking GPS!

what a long festive week.... first, we had the christmas which was always fun with the presents and the shopping. then we had the new year eve thing.... it was so fun. in persuit of thinking of what are we going to do for the new year's countdown, we decided to check into the hotel at the airport. crown plaza done by WOHA. actually nothing to shout about despite from the reviews in the newspapers and also various architecture and interior magazine.

but i think, the bottom line was that we were waiting for our friend who would be arriving from tokyo that night. he got in an hour after midnight cause there was some delay in his flight at narita. actually, we could have just gone to a club and spend our time there celebrating with people you have not seen before in your life, but all of us thought that we were pretty much very not into that kindda thing anymore. you say why? i'd say age prob caught up with us. i don't know, but i think i can still boggie and i have this energy bursting inside to shake my bons bons, but damn..... my friends are not into it. i can't say i'll do it like the batt. advertisement bunny on television but at least have a go with it.

anyways, that was that........ fast forward, went to monkey's cafe at orchard towers and i'm shock to know that they're still there! well, in a good way that is. i like that place cause you can see some action going on, if you know what i mean. well, ok... it's pretty much like a red light district area and it's in the heart of town, orchard road. well, not actually red light district, but you can see the dealings and the going ons there.... it's fun just by watching! well, back to monkey's cafe. they still serve the local and western food. nothing to shout about but at least it offers you a variety. and yes, KUMAR(stand up drag comedian)was performing there that night. it was pack and sad to say, you can't be listening to him every weekend cause some of the tricks were played over and over again...... but still, it was a good laff.

actually, this whole post was just to bitch about an encounter with a cab driver. actually i was mad, wait.... extremely mad! but then again, i took a step back and decided to drop off cause its prob. the best for me before i do or say something not nice....... ok... breathe in..... breathe out......

among other things

wrapped around your finger

yes, how can i not love that tune from the police! it was just the other nite when albert send us home that we shared this. plug my ipod into his system and played dj in his roving crv. well, i made a stop and let the police play on. yes, their live bootleg version from atlanta 1984.

not to long ago, i had an encounter. an encounter that stunned me and my past. we all have our past and mine was just like yesterday though it was more or less 10 yrs ago. memories are fresh and as though they're preserved in cans that you can get in supermarkets. i knew it was something like that but never got round to believing it till last few weeks ago.

my last month have been a very busy one. i've been spending time and time and more time at work place. tension runs high with the talk going round the office and our lunch break conversartions making us all highly strung now.

i don't know, but i so dig having conversation with friends on friday nights after work or maybe watch a movie or two together and fright the shit out of ourselves. one of those weekends we saw something like 2 movies. not back to back but at night. one of the movies we saw was Quarantine. it's very Blair Witch Project but i guess Misch covered her eyes the whole time of the show while i help myself to the popcorn and ice lemon tea drink.

oh yes, and we found our new dinner place, Botak Jones at Youth Park. gosh, i simply love their steaks cause they even check on your donners! really.... at least there's some kind of quality control measures in the midts of heartlands. so, all the auntie sorts in the heartland, get your donners rite!

last weekend was my marathon........ oh my, that was another episode. really.......

frankly, i don't know where this post is going cause i just have too many things to write about but don't know how to put it here...... maybe i should just stick to writing lyrics for my music and so ppl wont take me too seriously.

this week have been quite a ride. as always, too many things to do and too little time. but nonetheless, i caught up with some friends at the most eclectic and bohemian part of singapore. (arab street) 

just a few hours there and i got my juices flowing. kimi the fire dancing girl got me going on with phrases like 'dance, into the fire' and i just got to work with the groove which i haven't go it yet. but, in the making in my head and part of it i had go at the studio was, "We've found heaven". yes, as for now the groove would be a sedative one but got the rhythm going. but i'm always humming the chorus part cause in my head, i should have a few people doing the background vocals.

i just uploaded a set of pictures on my facebook account and for some reason i had titled it, "botak head and more". oh no, i'm too honest. but then again, i really didn't know what else to title it. or i could have called it random shots! anyways, i'm collecting morning papers for a friend of mine who left town for shanghai for the tennis match. i have to say, i miss reading the papers. my source of news have always been from the net..... 

anyways, i can't help it but pull of a silly face on this one. the photographer was shocked but the rest knew i would pull of something like that. enjoy your week ahead!

my search to get a book this long weekend did not make it. alot of things to do and so little time. it's like every time i get, i would think about training or run or finish up my studio stuffs. man, i'm so in need of an organizer. maybe i should use my iphone function. i never got round doing those tacky stuff on the phone. maybe i should just stick to using the phone just for calls.

round up my mix for 'going om' last friday, but screwed it up big time. somehow, it took along time to transfer stuff from the mac to the ibm laptop. but the best thing of all was that, it fucks the track that i have carefully mixed just for that night. i was so pissed and so decided not to play at all. but anyways, i brought my live percussion instruments. still, the intoxicated had fun thankfully..... which just tells me that i should just get the macbook pro. how?

i don't know, but then again, i would know how to maximize it.

i'm calling in some guests to play on the record cause i think i sucx at the lead guitars though the one that i recorded of me playing got away with murder. but still, it would be great to jam on these songs. 

sometime last week was the cannon photo marathon. i didn't make it cause somehow i need to finish up work in the office. i don't know if i'm glad but i missed it but was told that it was very tiring. i love taking pictures and it makes me happy doing shots and putting things in frames and imagine shots that could be possible. i love that process although at the end of it you'd feel so drained out mentally. 

yes, my project shot is next. this time round, i gotta do some planning and for some people to make travel plans just for this shoot. yeah, it will be fun! ok ok, i found this, this really spooks me out. shutterbugs alike, this one's for you! click!!!!!
