This is going to be a very long update =) cool? cool. Backtrackin' to last Friday. It was some show in all honesty, and when i woke up on saturday morning, i still had the balance adrenaline. Which was always a good sign, which meant saturday was either going to be really wild, crazy or both. Turned out, it was more to dreamland than that. A week earlier, Gerald of Beat The System and i had talked about the possiblity of he being our band's part time manager. You know, push us into shows, publicity, exposure and all. And he's done a great job already. Getting us into GOssip Penang was unreal. So, he asked me to bring the guys and follow him down to PJ to go see Mario's Psycho Anthem record their latest song, Hidden Camera. nice name. And guess where? 21 .05 Productions. Okay, in other words, JD of Pop Shuvit's studio. Pretty awesome that we actually managed to hang around the studio. We met up with Gerald around 6pm, all 4 of us jumped into his tricked out Civic, which had a dvd player and it's screen hanging on the latch of the passenger seat, so we were all watching transformers while on the way. OMFG MEGAN FOX!! coldshower. Okay, hahaha. Gerald was kinda watching and driving at the same time, his head turning left and back like every 3 seconds. lol which was funny really. Did i mention his in-car light was a blacklight? super coolness. Reached i-can't-remember-where and had dinner at a place called killinie i think. When Mario and his gf plus Ocu arrived, Mario thought he heard Gerald say over the phone, KillingMe. We all burst out laughing at that. Mario and Ocu are like the funniest people in music i've ever known. Not to mention they kick ass. Reached the studio after dinner, which was at Taman Tun, and met JD for the first time. Whoa, not the person i used to see in shuvit's music videos and concerts, he looks like the average chinese guy on the street! haha! But looking around the studio, no doubt, that's the Shuvit's axeman.
The hitz.fm artist of the year awards
More Shuvit awards
So we got a tour of the studio, and learned how things worked, who and what went first, the metronome's importance, and of course, pure fun and cock talk in-studio. Hahaha there was this incident involving some art on the walls, but it's just between us BLB, Mario and Gerald. Something about Moots opening his mouth. Anyway, PA's drummer went into the drum track room to track the drums, and we watched from the other side, while listening via the speakers. Gosh the studio equipment rocks.
Drum tracking going on and i sneaked a pic
After the drums were finished, Mario and Ocu both recorded guitars and bass over the drums. It took a long time to set up the guitar, but it was fun and funny as hell watching them dish out sarcasm. Laughed a lot in that studio. Wonder what JD thinks about us lol. So i walked around, looked behind a door and saw a stack of JD'S gig tags
As such, the tag for Asian Beat.
Mario and his big behind.
Rig view from the bean bag. Did i mention i love beanie bags?
It took 4 hours and RM300+ to record Hidden Camera, but in the end, Psycho Anthem would be pretty satisfied, and we're extremely lucky to have had a first hand look at how studio life was. Me and the guys can't pretty much wait to get started ourselves, but it'll take lots of work effort and time. We're doing it anyway :)
Nice amps, decking the walkways.
We went to have supper with all three bands at some mamak down a few streets. We kept quiet while listening to Gerald and Ocu have a go at various topics, such as, criticizing a few bands, and such. More to laugh about. Finally left P.A P.S around 1 something i think, and Gerald sent us back to our car. Went home, and slept i think? Sunday morning. We, includes Kev,Brad, Beng and Thurai, headed to Ikano area/the curve for two reasons. Bubba Gump and Bentley Music! Had awesome lunch at this fantastic pimpy shrimpy shop. No try you rugi i tell you. We ate up to rm200 bucks. Pretyy crazy i know. Then left for courts mammoth, where bentley's was. And that, was heaven. Saw pretty much every guitar at every price, all except My baby Emily and Epiphone :( It was fun browsing though. My other options would be that Santa Cruz Les Paul for about 600 bucks or a squire tellycaster for about the same price. And that would be the end of the weekend. The week, started off with a holiday, thank gawd, and had breakfast on monday morning with the girl who lives a school away. It's always a great thing to see her, but seeing her would mean i'll end up having a great day. Or great week. So it proved true. Tuesday, was English essaying, and there was this fun segment where Pn Suseela made us sit in a large round circle. We were puzzled and thought this was gonna be a campfire game. She gave us some paper, and asked us to write a beginning of a story. And we did, and every time the timer goes off, we have to pass the paper to the person on the right, who would continue the story for us. And when your own paper comes back to you, you're supposed to end it.( we had 3 mins each round) Being a person who writes stories on a regular basis (hehe =D) i was pretty much up for the challenge, but my fucking retarded classmates! lol omg! Ruined my story by a hundred fold. I ruined theirs in return too of course. It was so crappy, I have to type it out here. lol! Okay, sentences ONLY In RED are what i wrote. so yeah. every time the timer goes off, i mark the next sentence with a *
" My Heart Skipped A beat. This could not be happening. she slowly got off the chair and made her way to the lampshade, switching it off. So there we were, standing alone in the dark reading room, our eyes adjusting to the sight of each other, the only source of light was the moonlight, shining through the window. I could see her face clearly now. Dark brown eyes, pale lips, she slowy made her way towards me .* she die in the room.she was bleeding and fall down to the floor. * Why her want to leave me alone? we can continue our relationship, but she is dying. what am i supposed to do now? i want her so bad my heart was so hurt. i couldnt forgive myself. * i wish i can turn back the time and tell her about my feelings. why she so stupid and commit suicide? i love her. we can solve the problem together. why she chose to die? (lmao isac!). * At least she should have told me what she wanted from me before she went nuts. A kiss, hug, or a night with me? or anything else. * she even said she want to make love to me all night long, whenever she drunk she feel horny like a horny frog. i can't accept all this because it doesn't work on me. (lmao veno). * after a few years, it work. i want her horniness back, i am so itchy. i need her hole. please give me. i need it. (lmfao either hafiz or ganesh.)* She said she is not amazed by it. I quickly tie her hands and leg to the bed. * Oh my god it was just a dream. everything. i woke up, washed up to get rid of the image, and decided to go to the fish market.(tq for saving it, whoever u are). * i wanted to buy dead fishes for my cute lil fish tank, youuuuu! (hahaha alicia!?). * areee crazzzy! i told myself, so i wanted to go get some drug. so i passed a backstreet. * ( and this point, it came back to me, i noticed a lot of ppl skipped my paper cause the story was fucked up. lol. ). * And i saw her again. I froze, and suddenly everything around me started to warp, the surroundings and scenes were changing, my head felt heavy and dizzy. I closed my eyes, inhaled, and reopened them. There we were, back in the reading room again. Dark, silent and i could only hear our intake of breaths. Dejavu. I pinched myself. It hurt, and i concluded this IS real. She was still advancing towards me. I didnt wait, i moved towards her too. time is short they say? We held eye contact. Inches away now. Our warm lips met. I found my paradise. "
- the end -
