2 Corinthians 9:8

First of all a shoutout to the loyal readers of my blog!! (sif I had any..)

Right. Anyways, how y'all doing. The games officially begin tomorrow, kicking off with English for Engineering. I am still on hiatus. But I just realised that if I don't share that means I don't care.

Share whatlaaa. Somebody gave me two free tickets to 2 Days of Freedom @ Admiral Marina, Port Dickson!! Wat is this 2 days thing...


It's a rave party la! featuring awesome acts like Tiesto, Ferry Corsten and Cosmic Gate YO!! And for the first time ever, it's TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW! I would love to go on being descriptive about the DJs but I need my sleep. And oh happy birthday Caleb. Heh.

Oh right. I almost forgot. Thanks FLY FM! I mean, thanks Jesus!

like a black winter

Uber delay and I owe it all to you Streamyx! Bleh. But you can put the blame on me, you can put the blame on meee. Yeah my bad, since Malacca I went to Penang and my hometown.. been rather caught up with life, but thank God for helping me make time for everything. Chronologically.. left around 10 in the morning to pick up Andrew from One Utama new wing taxi stand.

the FitnessFirst punya bag is mine.. a tad too much for one night only aye?

Anyways, before leaving KL I pledged not to speed on the highway, mom told me to anyway. Besides, I'm still a P, better to be safe than to bribe.. Leaving around 10 or so, in less than an hour we we're already at Seremban (which is rather close to Malacca already). Driving was rather interesting though Edmund was resting to get in shape for the night. Some mad Myvi overtook me (not in a glimpse so I actually saw the driver), and it was this girl driving it.

Fyi, we were going around 150 km/h? So if she overtook me that would mean >150km/h X.X

Girl + speeding + 3 other friends in the car + P sticker = Definitely going for R5.

I'm no maths genius but assuming does wonders, which actually led me to chase them (literally). And while all these thoughts were running through my head, some malay dude driving a Savvy overtook us. Us guys don't have ego problems but if a 1.6cc vehicle that I'm driving is overtaken by a 1.3 Savvy that was probably falling apart for overtaking me.. That's humiliation aye.

Eventually overtook them thanks to morale support from Andrew and Chris who were actually up and excited while Edmund slept (maybe they were afraid I was gonna crash?). Anyways, after all the hoo haa we eventually got pwned by a BMW 7 series so whatever =.= I owe it to the Savvy as well as the Myvi girl who made it possible for us to reach Malacca in 1 hour 30 mins =D It was a perfect time to check-in and even bum around town before the evening.

Chris punya sis - Michelle actually helped us to book the place we were staying in.. it looks pretty cosy really.

Dropped our luggage off in our room and after some bumming, we left to look for lunch. As cliche as it may sound, we had chicken rice balls for lunch (YESLA EVERYONE WHO GOES THERE EATS THIS!). It's actually one of the most stomach-filling delicacies from Malacca.. everything else is expensive. i.e satay.

Chung Wah. It's a corner lot, freaking crowded for some weird reason.
(though some Malacca local told me it sucks =.=)

Mom I just arrived in Malacca, safe and sound.
No, I didn't speed :) we're staying at Baba House, now eating.
O that's Andrew next to me btw.

of chicken and rice balls. Onigiri?

The weather was just disastrous.. you could take 5 baths and still feel hot! On a day like this... there's a few ways to solve the problem. If you can't stand the heat...

cendol yo!

rather ticked off with the heat as you can see..

This is Edmund. He has a cool DSLR =D
Thanks for the pictures Ed.

If you can't stand the heat..

just take a leak la. (leak,leek however you spell it..)

though some may opt to buang air besar. (literally)

We were full, lazy, tired and a lil sweaty but nevertheless in high spirits to leave for A'Famosa in the afternoon to get our re-entry passes, cuz it'll definitely be a long queue to enter at night..

it was Malaysian soccer on TV le.. quite funny stuff heh.

Yay tickets! (which I eventually lost which made me unable to claim my event-only R5 TAG THINGY RAAWRRRR!)

Anyways I'm glad I brought home the memories, which is definitely worth more than that stupid tag XP Being tourists we weren't aware of the mad jam in town, which actually made a 45 minutes trip to Famosa seem like forever..

Eventually reached town at 6 in the evening, where we had to rush for lunch in Mahkota Parade since we needed to stock up on water and food as well. I had some Pattaya with daging masak merah, which was so awesome I ordered extra daging.. Pretty awesome for a food court meal if you ask me.. The others had sizzling stuff and Andrew ate kuay teow thng.

That piece of meat (that I spat) was uber rare just so you know.

After dinner, met up wit Jinhao outside stadhuys and we zoomed to Famosa, this time we actually reached in 45 minutes.

"WHO THE )@#(!#(@+!@(# WAS DRIVING JUST NOW? DAM GANGSTER WEI" - Jinhao (note this is coming from a guy driving a CRV who wouldn't catchup XP kiddin la Jin..)

Re-entry rocks doesn't it? :)

Godskitchen arena =D we were SOOOO looking forward to it, till we saw the mud. The music was pretty potong stim actually, everytime Johan and SVD had it really pumped up they'd just kill it with some tech-trance bass.. zzz wasted all those uplifting melodies..

Andrew rocking.

I still remember my 1st rave like it was yesterday =)
(It's Andrew's 1st at R5)

Andrew, youknowwho, Chris and Edmund.

Jinhao sandwiched by Chris and yours truly punya.

LOL. His expression perfectly defines the music before Marcel Woods came on.

Some funky mist shower.. Dunno why they put it.. it wasn't THAT hot anyway.

I'd say the rave actually really started when BAXX topped the decks. I felt something when their 1st song came on. Didn't know what it was but their apperance was definitely significant (or maybe I was expecting them already..) Either way, it was a heckuva night since... with their new track as promised Black Winter and the infectious FTS which really got all of us down on the floor, mud, floor, i mean, whatever.

Proteus came on after BAXX and kicked off with an uber uplifting happyhardcore track which left the shufflers fidgeting and having trouble keeping up with the increased bpm. It was an awesome night but all good things come to an end aye? So we left for home and thank God for the raisin bread which was really essential to recover and drive back to Baba's.

Yes that's me in the maroon sleeping bag.

We packed and left around noon. Michelle brought us to some Tangkak Beef Noodles in town before leaving Malacca, which was daymmmmm goood.

BEEF NOODLES FTW =X

lol dam random.

somewhere sunway

It's been quite awhile since my last rave.. Revelation 4 which ended early =.= luckily they were free tickets.. for a one hour set, BAXX vs Soul-T, which apparently was the end of the event. Anyway, this N-day (that's what it's called this year okay! I blame The Star!) since most of the apartment kakis (you know who you are) weren't around, I decided to head on to Sunway Lagoon for MyNation.


Was there uber early, had dinner at pyramid and waiting for things to get started. DJ Desire was on the decks then.

Yep she's still on the decks.

It may be just two pictures that seem the same, but trust me, she was on the decks for almost an eternity. Okay maybe Edmund and I started to get really bored. What can I say? It's not the music we dance to, the crowd isn't even a crowd yet and my food was just about to begin the digestive process.

Just a reminder the main event for the night was supposedly Cosmic Gate. DJ Phynn took over after Desire, and he's got stuff for a guy of his age. Apparently our age.. around 18-20 only.. young chap already spinning for a rave, huge future I tell you. Anyway his first track really blew us away. It was so good we spent so much time making sure it was good that we didn't dance. Wasted one sweet breakdown right there =.=


Drum Connection being one of the first few band/DJs that I've seen at a rave (my first rave at Sepang - Tiesto), had a joint performance with Phynn. It was quite good actually. Some songs were just too tribal and Safri Duo-ish.

Presenting Drum Connection from Germany!

For some reason the emcee was just having a great time introducing all the DJs - "Put your hands together for DRUM CONNECTION~~!!! PHYNN~~!! AND ME NICKY C!!" wtf like you're part of the lineup as well.. but at least he did get the crowd hyped up.. like those rave morale boosters.. always jumping on stage.. go youtube Showtek if you don't know what I mean.

People flooding in as it draws closer to the main event...

Jinhao wit his unique Shufflin.com hoodie and shirt.. bugger I want 1 also la.. And Edmund with his 'wtf where's Cosmic Gate.. wtf where's the good music..' face.

HAH bet you thought it was cosmic right!

More fireworks...

This shot is cool okay. Just minus the flash = awesome.

That's still Phynn right..?

?!

Yay Cosmic!

yay cosmic.. truthfully their set was a letdown. It had a touch of tribal in it.. sometimes it was just repetitive bass pounding.. and probably 10-15% of Trance.. sigh.

The event was supposed to end with The Thrillseekers wrapping things up, but they kicked off with another Tribal-ish-weird-ish-notsoTrance-track.. which was really disappointing for the last DJ.. I was really tired and Edmund's toes hurt like mad cuz he was dancing the whole night with slippers.

Eventually went to Syed Abu cuz we were super hungry. Makan and went home. Oh ya. Did I mention I waited more than 45 minutes just for a Nasi Goreng Kampung filled with 60% ikan billis? No you don't wanna try it. It's not fun okay. That's 45 minutes of my precious sleep you're wasting right there.

Oh ya if this doesn't feel N-day-ish enough for you, Happy Merdeka! Happy 50th Birthday Malaysia! YAaAAAaAaYyYYY. *snoozes*


PS: Anyone who wants videos of that night PM me via MSN, on MASH or anyway that you use to contact me.

Victim of tag.

Er honestly. I'm not too good at this whole blogging thing. I can't be sure that after being tagged by jon, will someone that I tag, continue to tag another person? Well screw the possibilities, let's get it on with the tag. Oh I can't help but to share a little on REVEL4TION!


28th October 06, A'Famosa Beach Resort - It was the fastest and furiousEST ride ever. We were on the cheez-joseph-sickcycle-720-convertible-iGallop-elantra. No joke. This baby goes up to XXX km/h (disclosed due to parental guidance). Upon leaving KL at 11, the Northern Lights of Revel4tion in A'Famosa could be seen 10 minutes before 12. It was a blast. Baxx. Soul-T. VS!. What more could I ask for? A time extension for the rave. Everyone else wanted it too. It ended at ONE. WHAT KIND OF RAVE ENDS AT ONE TELL ME?! Pfft. Ridiculous. Seriously. Anyhooz. Thanks you bobs out there who entertained me, joseph and james. Really appreciate your mentality and goofness with your UltimateToys lightsabers.. (the video will be up soon for those who wanna know what's going on..). Long story short, chivased, nasikandared, slept, wokeup, kenasamaned, dulaned, chickenriceballed, dulaned, trafficjamed, most importantly, enjoyed. =) Thanks joseph, james and lim =)


BACK TO THE TAG. Sorry about that. Yes. The two of my WORST bad habits.



IRRESPONSIBILITY.

Seriously. Not kidding. This year alone, I've had so many broken promises. What happened to all the nights where I was supposed to go to Riley's with my friends? What about that letter you owe Elisa? And your homework?

These are just a few examples. Now for the inner-self-conflict.

Time to do homework! *sits at the study table*
Mmmh.. I feel a calling.. just a little while.. college homework not much oso..
Yeah.. just awhile.. *HANDS ON THE COMPUTER ALREADY*

2 hours later... tired... zzz
What happened to your work??
Tomorole..
Wei! No tomoro la! Forgot your A-Levels EXTERNAL EXAM RESULTS?
Yesla ma... I rememberla.. this term very easy wan.. sure can..

The truth is. I'm nowhere further than where I left. I have to kick this. Right now there are so many things. FFXII. Raves. Tuesday's Halloween party. There, I did it again. Whatabout that party you agreed to perform for your a-levels? This lackadaisical attitude is eating me. I need to build up a consumption-resistant-skin.. or this might just be the end of the beginning.. of the end.


Oh. Just realised. Self-confidence deficiency.


This is for real. It's not the kind of self-confidence that I don't have within myself, at least I'm proud to be who I am. It's just that.. when I am caught along with some friends who are currently in an argument with someone else, I'm just a bystander. Witness my conscience.

Situation is, james checked into a hotel. he arrived by cab. James and Lim sorry. Me n Joseph came later with a car and parked outside the hotel, which DID NOT OWN THE CAR PARK (which we were not informed of till the next day). slept, 9 am rise n shine.

cheez : hmm.. theres a piece of sumtin on jo's car.. nvm la.. probably some flyer.

this flyer turned out to be a rm30 saman for NOT PUTTING YOUR PARKING TICKET, ON A SUNDAY! this might be normal for you guys, but for tourists.. don't you think it's a little harsh? so we tried negotiating with the uncle pondok who collects MBMB saman pays.. but no use, his rasuah face overwhelmed the theories of law and righteousness. To appeal for a discounted saman, we needed to go to the main office, TOMORO! wtf? WE HAVE A LIFE YOU MALACCAN. Instead, he insisted we ask of the hotel manager to settle our saman. Not the wisest statement.

Friends : We got samaned outside your hotel. Tried to settle with uncle, but 30 is a hefty sum for us, and to appeal could only be done tomoro, otherwise we had to mail it sometime later (troublesome sial =.=). SO he suggested that you help us settle this because he is only a collector..
Lackadaisical Receptionist : (he's a bob btw) Erh.. well you checked in by cab right?
James n Lim : *nods*
LR : Then how I know that you have another friend coming with his car?
Cheez : Look here pal. It was your fault in the first place for not asking if he HAD a car. In a business where customer satisfaction reigns supreme, enquiring the customer to ensure everything is settled should be a priority. You didn't even CONSIDER to take the initiative to ask James IF he has another friend with a car, or at least, IF he will park a car (since you know of the strict parking violations).
Friends : *looks at the idiot with a dulan face*
Lim : can i please speak with your manager?

*The whole scene repeats itself* Note : I did not voice out upon the first debate with the cb receptionist, but rather a weaker version of my italicized phrase (for some reason, which is my inability to boost self-confidence) against the manager.

Still rather disappointed at this hotel - Seri Costa or sumtin liddat. Do me a favour and blacklist it. Anyways, this is just an example of my helplessness. Many other debates have had me bystanding, as well as having my arms folded. Sometimes, we have to do what is right, and fight for the just as well as the law. - Law of Ueki? lol.. anyways, I really wish these two habits could just die.

No pics. But I TAG! THE TWO WORST HABITS YOU HAVE.

ONE WORD.

- B A S S -

Wooh. I'm back.. after a long... streak of... outdooring... ugh... finally.. some time to chill out in front of my lil' bloggie n rant =) Well... it's not ALL about ranting.. so fun man... I mean.. about what happened since the last entry..

SPM Results... wasn't as devastating as it seemed... another I-didnt-work-hard-enough-for-this-exam feeling... but anyhows... I'm not that disappointed... rather contented.. =) the screwed up thing was that I was freaking ill even before receiving my SPM results... and my body was not recovered till the upcoming Saturday. I was worried. It's Tiesto. Tiesto. Tiesto. *echoes* yea. Tiesto.

OMG LIKE TIESTO, HOW DO I STAY TILL 3 AM IN THE MORNING MAN?! My parents actually scream their heads off when i come home like 12 =.= they restrict me from sleeping over at others' and NOW TIESTO?! gotta be joking pal. beyond their wildest imaginations. Well this kid ain't lettin' this stop him. He be groovin wit de beats. Of. Ties-To.

So my solution was, "Mom, can I sleep over at cousin's place near Sepang after the concert? =P I mean... it'll be so troublesome for me to take a bus from KLIA to Jalan Duta and have you guys fetch me from the station at what, 1130-12ish?!" *Mom ponders awhile* "Okay. BUT JUST BECAUSE YOUR COUSIN IS FETCHING YOU IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU SAN GAN PUN YUET ONI GO HOME AR!" "yes mom =D"

And there it went on... =) The night. Was neverending. Never. All you heard was. Bass. Bass. Bass. Bass. Bass. Bass. Bass. Bass. Acid. Acid. Acid. Acid. Acid. Acid. Garam. Garam. Garam. OKAY SORRY I HAD TO LAME AWHILE. =/ Okay as I was saying... the event kicked off wit Derb & Drum Connection showing off wit their electric saws... they actually SAW metal pipes to make that buzz effect! LIKE OMG! Then this local DJ, I think, he was called DJ Milk (well I ASSUME it's milk cuz he was wearing a MiLk T-shirt man!).

So yada yada yada milk goes off, then u get this whole... TIESTO.. TIESTO.. TIESTO.. TIESTO chant... and then u see... the huge LCDs go... 10 beep 9 beep 8 beep 7 beep 6 beep 5 beep 4 beep 3 beep 2 beep 1 beep 0 black. *some trance effects play* BASS BASS BASS BASS LIKE OMG... and u actually see fireworks... n it just got better on and on... and of course... ended with Traffic... u can't get enough of it... and OMG BLAZING FIREBALL FIREWORKS!! =D Never before seen in my life... honestly... prettier than Merdeka ones =) prolly cuz my 1st time seeing huge fireball ones...

Anyway down wit Tiesto and on wit my voyage in search of phats... current status : idle. Yes. On hold lol. Life is. Okay. Electric Guitar is COMING IN BABY!!! YEAHH!!!! And ooohhh finally serving in church for Holy Communion! =) This is the chill time... yet this is the stress time... thanks to Kanala... wtf... can't understand your BLUDDY HESS LAWLA!!! SAVE IT FOR SUM OTHER CHEMIST! I can't take it... =/

Gah... be back soon... this is a rather dull post... o well.. the other nice ones will fill the space =)
