kecil

sudah lama tidak menulis.

hari ini bermula seperti biasa. tapi petang ini entah mengapa tiba-tiba aku terasa begitu kecil sekali.

aku rasa begitu hina.
begitu rendah diri.
begitu kosong.
rasa seperti hidup aku ini tiada berkepentingan.
buat diri sendiri, keluarga, teman, mereka di sekeliling apatah lagi mereka yang langsung tidak mengenali diri.

aku benci rasa sebegini. tapi itu lah yang aku rasa kebelakangan ini.
seperti ada yang kekurangan. kekosongan yang perlu di isi. dengan apa? aku pun tidak pasti.

aku rasa begitu kecil.

tag

I was tagged by a friend. Contemplating whether should or shouldn’t I fill them in. Finally I decided to give it a try. No harm I suppose. Am not sure though what exactly should I put in (ya ya, I know it should be random), but since the friend had already done it, I took what was written in there and put in my take. Can do lah.

Directions:

Once you've been tagged, you have to write a post with sixteen random things, habits or goals about you.
At the end, choose ten people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them.

  1. The most precious people in my life? I would agree that my family would come first especially my youngest brother and my nephew.
  2. Things I love? Material-wise, I don’t value them much. Take CDs or records for example, no matter how much I love that particular artist(es), I would most probably sell or give them away after a year or two.
  3. Things that annoyed me most? I’m most annoyed by my lack of guts!
  4. People that I care and love? I love every single being around me no matter how they feel about me. Yeah, that includes that rabid dog which is always has his eyes on me at Brickfields. Jaga lu!
  5. Memories that I value most? A lots. From my childhood, years in Seremban, punk, loathing in Shah Alam, loves gone awry, etc etc…
  6. Again, things I hate? (perhaps more specific this time) – And again, I HATE my lack of guts and commitmentphobia. I’m not able to declare my feelings. Which I believe is the reason of my unfruitful r/ship. Never once in my life that I be the first to confess my feelings, it had always be the other way around – which was a relief! And, and when I did that once – I failed miserably!
  7. My favourite number? I never know. Really. 18 maybe. My birthday and my future girlfriend age. LOL. Nak mampus.
  8. Am I an animal lover? Depends. But I’m a cat-person for sure. Love to look at puppies and hope one day, I’ll be brave enough to belai-belai them. (no, not religion thingy that is stopping me now, just so you know)
  9. Can I get infuriated easily? Recovering, perhaps. No joke!
  10. Do I trust in people? Unfortunately, I do. Not entirely though, especially if I could sense retaliation, but I’m at 97% of the time would only share things that wouldn’t do harm to me. Otherwise, it would be kept with me til I die.
  11. Again, things I love? (perhaps more specific this time) I put this up on my facebook. I love kids, cats, (cute) girls, good foods, good books, good movies, good loud (and melodic) music and 1001 other stuffs. And I like someone which is NOW I feel that could NEVER tell her and NOTHING will ever happen between the two of us. Nothing.
  12. About me? Commitmentphobia opti-pessimist idealist-bed-revolutionist
  13. My worst attitude? I can’t be talam dua (2) muka, which is crucial at this age.
  14. Do I have any hesitation? A lot. Due to my inability to show my true feelings, people around me tend to get bore and feels that they are not valued. If that what it takes, I will try harder and harder and harder.
  15. What I can’t stand most? Too many.
  16. What I afraid most? Being misinterpreted, misunderstood and am not able to amend things.

Friends to be tagged?


Nah..I’ll skip ;)

mengantuk but it feels good nonetheless

wah. dari semalam bangun seawal jam9 pagi. basuh pakaian. ke kedai printing (mahal!) di sekitar tmn desa. banyak pamphlet juga poster/infomercial yang perlu di print dan tanpa disedari sudah hampir jam12 siang. bergegas ke lokasi di ampang. sebaik tiba, lebih kurang jam 1230 siang, sudah terdapat sejumlah teman di sana, terutama penganjur sendiri. ramai yang sudah siap menyusun-atur "space" mereka. hari ini aku jadi wakil NOSC. tugas aku? tampal segala yang aku print tadi. siapkan uncang beg untuk di letakkan pamphlet yang sudah di print, dan jika ada yang ingin tahu lebih lanjut akan soal kolektif, memberi bantuan dan menjawab pertanyaan. ringkas. malah jadi lebih ringkas bila tiada seorang pun yang akhirnya bertanya soal kolektif. patut kah aku gembira kerana tidak perlu melayan kerenah dan seribu macam persoalan? aku harus. namun, aku rasa sebaliknya. hurm...

apa-apapun, pendapat aku, gig semalam agak well-organised. memang terdapat sedikit "loop hole" di sana sini, tapi aku rasa nothing major. objektif tercapai. pada pandangan aku lah. yang aku lihat tujuan gig semalam ada lah untuk semacam empowering womyn especially those yang involve di dalam "scene". mungkin lebih di dalam diy konteks. penglibatan dalam soal2 administrasi penganjuran gig, ekualiti di dalam mosh pit etc. begitu juga bagi aku salah satu dari workshop yang aku sempat hadiri, aku dapati ia menarik dan sekurang-kurangnya, memberi ilmu baru kepada aku. nah. tidak aku pernah terfikir soal alternatives pad! menarik cuma aku fikir jika lebih ramai yang participate ia akan jadi lebih menarik. tapi apa daya, jika semua orang ke tingkat dua, maka band yang perform di bawah, akan main untuk empty audience pula bukan?

turn-out yang sangat memberangsangkan. aku jangka lebih kurang 300-400 orang hadir semada sebagai penganjur, pemain musik, crew dan yang lain-lain. angka yang bagi aku, luar biasa mungkin? begitu pun aku sangat berpuas hati kerana dapat berjumpa kenalan lama & baru, juga mereka yang sebelumnya mungkin "oh, i saw you at this and this gig a few time, but never got the chance to tegur2 or sembang2 lah. what's your name again, sir/mam?" sort of friend. hehe.. managed to bought some good books and zines; dapat restraint diri dari godaan cd2 menarik yang akhirnya - GAGAL di sebaik pulang ke StudioShopSpace, wow...Glenn (Singapore friend) ada bawa a few copies of a few titles of CDs of a few of my "Wanted List" bands. So, I bought all four; Stop It!, Circle Takes The Square, The Red Chord and the fucking Daughters. Ah, still owe PakTua the cash lah. By any chance if some day that En Azhan looking at this, please remind me to pay you back yah.

Stop It! Mula-mula dengar nama mereka melalui interview di dalam HeartAttack. Sangat berminat untuk find out pasal mereka. Namun tidak kesempatan mendengar serta lebih penting memiliki full-length mereka. Damn! Fucking brilliant post-fucking-punk-rock! PERIOD!

Since aku berjaya dapatkan CD mereka, itu really made my day yang masih sampai kini hampir jam10 pagi Ahad, masih belum lelapkan mata dan yang paling tak tahan, di pejabat seawal jam 730 pagi di (sekali lagi) pagi Ahad yang sepatutnya di habiskan di bilik menonton DVD atau membaca buku-buku karya Prem atau bersama teman-teman bercanda di tepian kolam.

Tammat.

disaster

ok. it was near the end of 2004.

we split-up and since then, i heard nothing from her. i never even really know why we end-up the way we ended-up.

being heart-broken, i decided to name a gig as "a disaster after valentine's". no one really know why i gave such a title. it may bring bad luck some suggested. i don't bother. the label name itself means bad luck. what to expect then? and it fits well since the gig was indeed organised almost a week after valentine's.

i was broken-hearted and to finally be able to organise a gig under own label and to have bands that made up of mostly friends and those that i really love, i can't be happier. luckily, it was a success. since then, the gig had been organised every year, some time after the valentine's. last year, 2008, saw its fourth installment. it was postponed until april since the touring band (off minor) would only come later and it should be a finale. the end of its series. the last gig from the struggling label. it went ok. and to some extent i would say i was really pleased. that was some happy moment i would treasure.

now, it's feb 2009. i'm still single. what luck eh? am i really that afraid of commitment? i never know for sure. five years gone and it feels just like yesterday. now my head start to think, no, not the question of when will i have a steady gf or "worse" getting married but, but... should i revive the Valentine's DISASTER?

to do in march

pokai tak pokai!


1. Thierry Mugler - A*Men
2. Gitar Kapok Elektrik
3. Basikal Litespeed?
4. Attend 2 wedding receptions dkt Kelate
5. Maksudnya kena blk kg! - cost, cost, cost
6. Oh ya, need to buy new bed sheet, or a new tilam after all! (termite gile)
7. Juga a new langsir. Now I feel exposed everytime that cute girl rumah atas came out sidai baju.

monetary impact: negative!

conclusion: after almost two years of working I still don't have any savings. d'oh.

kritikal



sabtu ini aku ditugaskan sebagai wakil NOSC ke DIY Femme Fest '09 (flyer di sebelah kiri).



hope it will be fun.

and yes, am looking forward to catch tormentress :)

things are hard

Dilbert is awfully funny.

I altered the dialogue a bit and it makes total sense for me. LOL.


"Being worthless is only hard for the first 25 years. "


"After that, it's a lifestyle."



Awfully true.

10 bands that changed my life

crap.

lama gile tak update. akal buntu. work. work. work. how am i suppose to complete this macro economic overview crap, i really don't have any idea. at least not now. jadi better aku buat keje tak guna ini. i listened to a lot (yeah, i mean A LOT) of music, tak kira lah samada dari kaset, cd, piring hitam, video, etc yang original mahupun tiruan malahan mp3s dan lain2 format online. tapi, di sini aku ingin listkan 10 bands yang menggegarkan hidup aku semenjak aku mengenal musik.

1. WOW/WAU - time aku darjah ntah berapa, aku terdengar satu lagu ni dalam radio. aku tak ingat tajuk lagu atau ejaan sebenar band ni, wow atau wau atau lain2 tp bunyi nya tetap, "wow!". balada rock. yes. mulai saat itu, baru aku btol2 nk dig musik rock tak kira lah dari apa cabang pun. sebelum tu mmg la dengar segala ape Search, Wings, XPDC, Olan, SYJ, etc tp minat gile tu takde. dengan lagu wow tu la aku jadi budak kecik yg tiap2 hari nk kena dengar radio siap dengan kaset kosong utk dub/record lagu2 yg kuar dlm radio.

2. FUGAZI - mungkin ramai yg kenal aku tau betapa influential nya mereka ini terhadap aku. aku tidak pernah dengar perkataan hardcore, punk, skinhead ke ape2, tp aku mengenal perkataan FUGAZI ini terlebih dahulu! Semenjak Ogy Ahmad Daud membuat liputan FUGAZI perform di KL dlm Melodi yg bersiaran di TV3, aku dengan begitu kerap ke cyber cafe di Kota Bharu dan juga di Seremban (fucking expensive!) untuk find out siapa mereka, apa yg mereka sahutkan, kenapa mereka begitu, bagaimana boleh jadi begitu dan seribu satu persoalan lain. namun atas sebab limitasi ilmu IT aku, tak byk yg berjaya aku discover except ada 1 band ni dlm salah satu dr ribuan interbiu korang (aku rasa), mentioned yg FUGAZI ada influence musik mereka dan aku dapati band itu agak famous di Malaysia dan tidak lah mustahil utk find out more about Fugazi through this band. Dan band itu adalah.....

3. NIRVANA - Yah! Corporate Rock Still Sucks! Band yg aku maksudkan tadi adalah Nirvana. Kurt Cobain ada mentioned that Fugazi ada sedikit sebanyak influence dorang jgk. Ye lah, band2 yg sewaktu dengan mereka belaka tu kan, Sonic Youth etc... Dalam pencarian diri aku yg memang pada masa tu, form 1 ke form 2 yg sangat stress (tekanan skolah asrama penuh yg penuh dengan bigotry), aku rasa dpt relate dengan musik dan lirik Nirvana ni. Kemeja kotak dan jeans koyak terus menjadi pilihan. tp bukan kasut. vans ke ape ke, aku mmg dari dulu bukan mat kasut. ntah kenapa pun tak pasti. mungkin sbb aku suka tunjukkan kaki aku yg gebu? haha.. BANGANG. form 2 mmg peak. rokok kuar weekend sekotak kejab je abis. mmg life suck and i want to die la time tu. sampai la aku discover genre yg relate dengan previous band bbdk fugazi tu, MINOR THREAT. Yehaa... Selepas hampir 2 tahun mencari, aku dpt juga dengan musik serta memahami idea dorang. Very good! very good! This is about to bring a huge change in my life!!!

5. SICK OF IT ALL / CAUSE FOR EFFECT - Yah, 1998. Tahun Reformasi. Bukan sekadar di jalanan. Tp reformasi buat aku juga. Aku mula kenal MT dan discover lebih byk tentang hardcore, punk, oi! dan mcm2 lagi. Even sebelum tu aku dah penah dengar musik2 yg sebegitu (ini positive point dok asrama, pendedahan tu meluas), aku hanya mula minat hardcore as a music selepas mendengar lagu2 SOIA dan juga CFE. Aku harus admit kegagalan utk hadir ke konsert SOIA memang antara kekesalan utama dalam cinta aku terharap musik! Aku nekad. Campak puntung rokok, tinggalkan niat utk minum (walaupun aku agak yakin yg ada beberapa occassion minuman aku telah di campur!), dan about sex bebas, nah...agak naive but to tell the truth, at 15, aku tak terpikir lagi psl pompuan ape lagi sex. Nekad mmg nekad. In 3 months time, aku fully embraced straight edge ideology. tp band old school hardcore malaysia time tu suck. 3 kali aku hantar duit order stuff, tak penah dpt jawapan!!!

6. YAPHET KOTTO - Time flies, dan makin hampir tempoh waktu aku meninggalkan sekolah. Time tu makin rancak dengan aktiviti beli stuff melalui surat. Dalam negara/luar negara. Duit belanja makan sekolah abis dekat situ je. No wonder sampai form5 seluar aku size 28 je. Tu pun longgar & kena pakai belt. Ketika tu semua org tergila dengan Fingerprint dari Perancis. Wow. Best! Aku selidik lagi band2 segenre dengan nya sampai la aku jumpa band di bawah Ebullition Recs ni, Yaphet Kotto. Instantly, emo violence is now my favourite genre!

7. RADIOHEAD - UiTM Shah Alam. Semester Ke-2. Aku tinggal di Perindu. Sebelum itu aku mmg pernah dengar nama dan lagu Radiohead. Malah ketika form 2 seingat aku, di Terminal One Seremban, poster dorang besar2 di tampal dkt satu kedai musik tu. Time tu album OK Computer baru rilis. Aku tak penah teringin nk dig psl konon HC tepu. Tp masuk uni, aku baru tau betapa pentingnya belaian seorang kekasih (haha...crap!). Terus "Creep" menjadi pujaan. Dari saat itu, aku bersusah payah cuba dptkan segala album dorang. Terbaik! Sgt2 terbaik!

8. GLAY - Ini salah sorang member aku yg juga ahli kongi gelap papakerma punya pasal. tahun2 2001, 2002, byk gile drama jepun main dlm tv. aku suka. cerita dia very "soulful". ada jiwa. citer psl kedai kek pn jd best gile. even until today aku sgt suka drama jepun. cuma masa je xde utk tgk n cekidut. dlm byk2 band jepun aku dengar, Glay plg tangkap. Rockstar btol. Dengan meminati Glay, secara langung mempengaruhi aku utk cek out band2 hc/punk yg ada di sana. Maka dengan itu...

9. ENVY - Terjumpalah satu band bernama Envy. Tak mau tulis panjang2.

10. REFUSED - Akhir sekali, aku kena masukkan dorang ni. Byk bukak mata aku utk jd lebih kritikal dan praktikal. Situationist katakan. Hehe..

Band yang aku sgt suka tp tak masuk dlm top10: The Beatles(sbbkan aku cek out blk band2 lama - termasuk Grateful Dead), Creedence Clearwater Revival (Ramones pun cover lagu drg, ape cer!), Unholy Grave (sumpah klu bukan sbb dorang, aku tak minat grind sampai skrg kot) dan 1001+ lagi.

Fuh... Dah terbuang setengah jam. Yeah!

(stupid) things we do

semua orang (i suppose) pernah buat benda bodoh.

buat perkara yang kemudiannya di kesali.

in my case, there are aplenty.

tp hari ni aku nak bg 1 contoh, in which aku baru je "ter"buat dan sekarang ni rasa nak menyesal. nak patah, nak tarik balik pun dh terlambat.

aku ada akaun facebook. all this while, aku add those yg aku kenal @ rasa kenal. kekadang ada org yg aku tak kenal add aku. most of org yg aku kenal @ rasa kenal akan approve aku. aku pula akan approve those yg add aku tp aku tak kenal tu.

tak pernah pula dlm kes2 ini, aku add orang, individu yg aku tidak kenal.

tp atas pengaruh pemikiran baru utk let loose, give it a try, alah bisa tegal biasa, alang-alang menyeluk pekasam biar sampai ke pangkal lengan, aku ADD ORANG YG AKU TIDAK KENAL ke dlm akaun facebook aku.

baru je sebentar td.

aku pikir why not? have fun la beb. add girl ke dlm facebook. make new (girl) friends. have a few good laugh, yadda yadda.

tp fuck i was wrong.

it turn out not to be that sweet! why? u know why.

so aku decided. do not let this one time stupid decision ruin my day (takde la sampai ruining life aku!)

aku tak nak dah add a complete stranger. aku juga x nk approve dh. aku x nk nti aku sengaja atau tidak sengaja becoming a jock making fun at the person. tak adil rasanya.

lg pun life aku doesn't revolve around facebook. let it be there lah. mungkin in the next 2 years while looking back at it, i would find it amusing. gelak tgk benda bodoh yg aku penah buat.

ok peeps, i got to pee (literally dan sebaliknya).

chenta tiada restu

dhani bagi link ni dkt aku.

wah. kenangan.

chenta tiada restu merupakan punca bagaimana papakerma blh terlibat dlm dunia rekod label. sebelum itu mmg pernah terlintas untuk mjalankan rekod label atas minat bagai nk gile dgn hc/punk. tp usaha yg berlangsung pd ketika itu selalu gagal. yeah, papakerma suppose to release end on end from USA, tp menemui jalan buntu di sebabkan kewangan juga naif dlm soal design kaset.

aku juga hampir2 meriliskan this machine kills juga dari america. ya. ini band dj steve aoki yg kamu mungkin kenal itu. tak salah lg. towkey dim mak record yg sgt mpengaruhi perjalanan papakerma. we were in really good term time tu. tp sayang. atas kesilapan orang lain, aku dan teman aku, hafeez yg menjadi tonggak utama Emolution Record (aku tau nama tu kelakar! tp kitorg tgh layan boysetsfire time tu, what to expect?haha). steve bgtau dia dh send master 3 of TMK discography 2-3bulan sebelumnya. tp none of us ever received the packages. dia marah. di bilangnya kami rip off. it was very bad. down gile time tu. towkey label idola ckp kami rip off.

demmit.

since then, aku makin tekad utk tidak rip off org. sebelum tu x penah rip off. selepas tu pun tak penah. aku akan make sure each and every pesanan yg sampai, akan di hantar barang yg mereka order. aku juga make sure even surat simple yg di hantar, akan tetap di balas. malah surat yg konon nya di kepilkan cash tp tak ada $$$ pun aku tetap akan balas dan inform mereka yg mungkin posmen dah rip off dorang @ dorang sendiri terlupa (atau buat2 lupa) utk taruk duit. surat yg tak pernah sampai ke tangan, tak dapat la plak nk reply. dulu2 mmg standard kalu dpt 20-30 keping surat seminggu. sekarang ni adalah 4-5 keping sbln (bil astro, kad, etc etc). haha.

ok, blk pada citer asal.

atas kegagalan di atas, dan atas pujuk rayu dhani yg pd ketika itu baru menyertai ahli keluarga papakerma dan mengembangkan filosofi kami dlm soal2 pentingnya utk menjadi rekod label, maka keputusan di ambil, gambar emo nazier di tepi pantai telah terpilih utk menjadi cover. cetakan di buat manual. cd-r di buat manual. modal pun manual. maka rilis lah chenta tiada restu dan sekaligus meletakkan nama papakerma sebaris dgn rekod label lain yg ada ketika itu. masyuk tak masyuk, tak silap lebih dari 100 keping cd terjual. huhu.

jadi, band ini mmg pnya tmpt istimewa dlm hati kami (at least aku).

hanya bermula dgn CTR lah kami terus menyorak langkah merilis 6shorts (versi hc/punk), homicide dan rakaman2 lain yg best2 tu.

terima kaseh ctr.

p/s* oh ya, dhani adalah vocalist band ni :)

basikal

my gut feeling tells me i should get one!

litespeed blueridge would do me fine. hehe...

soal musik - yang pertama kot

aku mulakan 2009 dengan sumber ilham (ceh!) yg sgt limited. kiranya this year, aku purchase dan donlod juga copy lagu dgn kuantiti yg sgt kureng berbanding tahun2 yg lepas. tp atas sbb ini blog aku, dan aku bosan, dan tak ada org lain yg nk baca pn, so aku nk tuliskan beberapa musik yg menchare kan hidup aku sepanjang january dan awal february tahun dua ribu sembilan ini. supaya kalau blog ni masih wujud pn lg tahun depan, aku dpt look back at what influenced me, at least musically dlm tempohmasa ini.

antara yg aku purchase dan donlod juga copy adalah killeur calculateur ep, luke star - lake toba album, tiala/shift/deepslaughter 3-way split, born against - the rebel sound of shit and failure, pygmy lush - mountain hope, cursive - happy hollow, kyte, curve - new album, full chin, etc etc. ada beberapa nya yg aku dpt percuma. terima kaseh pada yg bagi. kira halal la yer. hehe.

killeur calculateur (atau kc panggilan singkatnya) mmg post punk. bg aku ada terasa influence drive like jehu dgn q and not u. mungkin bukan directly. tp feeling tu ada kt situ. mmg chare. tp 5 lagu, kurang 10 minit, menjadikannya kureng skit. dengan harga rm15, aku berharap something yg lebih kot. jd aku propose kc utk rekod lebih byk lagu dan rilis secepat mungkin. juga sila main lebih byk show. aku juga suka lirik dorang. penting to mention that.

luke star (photo). semenjak hujung 2008, aku jadi fanatic mereka. sgt sedap bai. ada feel mew, blonde redhead, skit2 "screamo" pnya movement pun ada. tak ada lagu yg tak sedap. dah berapa ratus kali aku ulang main dlm kete pun tak tau. siap pasang kuat2. ape org kt tesco kota bharu tu nk ckp pun lantak la. haha. mmg tak sangka hasil antara lain line-up (ke bekas?) kaospilot, the spectacles etc blh jd mcm ni. all those band are great, but this one, fuh...lg 1o thn dengar blk pn aku layan. mcm the bends tu. tinggi sungguh aku letakkan tahap band/album ni dlm kamus musik aku.


pygmy lush pula sungguh di luar jangkaan. kira2 3 tahun yg lepas, aku begitu masyuk dgn malady. kira2 5-6 tahun yg lepas, aku begitu masyuk dgn page99 dan juga band2 yg sewaktu atau sebelum waktu dgn nya, i.e. city of caterpillar, neil perry, etc. pgymy lush ini merupakan susulan bg beberapa line-up bg beberapa band yg di sebut di atas. musiknya lebih dkt pd malady mungkin. malady penah state they draw their influences to write their music from blonde redhead, gun n roses juga nirvana. tp maybe not so true dgn pygmy lush plak. haha.. dh merepek. pygmy lush ada a few track yg blh di kata "screamo". ye lah. loud music. screaming (whut else to expect?). tp the screaming is very sedap. no. bukan sedap mcm mtv emo yg kejab jerit, kejab nyanyi "sedap" tu. ok, let me be clear. aku have nothing against mtv emo. gua suka ape taking back sunday. hehe..ok blk pd citer asal. pgymy lush ni lebih pd folk, soul pnya sound kot. kot la yer. cuba la try test sendiri. bg aku best. nk tolak LP dia kt aku? di persilakan. tp aku prefer CD lah.

lain2...hurm...cursive mmg amazing as always. aku hilang mp3 cd with complete albums of cursive dulu. bila dpt copy blk 3 latest album dia, tersenyum sampai telinga aku. terus tak melengahkan masa beli cd-r nk jadikan audio, nk dengar dlm kete. huhu...dh masuk 2 minggu, masih tak ubah2 lg.

tp..tp...sebelum tu, aku byk dengar born against. this is hardcore!!! ada sape berani nk buat band camni?

a wedding, a book launch, a hill & a gig

this weekend would probably be exciting, and i am looking forward to it.

on saturday, nik the singing lawyer is getting married at masjid persekutuan. later that evening, there's a book launch at the annexe, central market. i haven't been there for quite some time, and i feels like attending this one.

bukit tabur (photo) seems to be quite a challenge. i would love to climb up there. but i heard that we may first have to inform jabatan perhutanan selangor. have to get others feedback on this. if everyone's is up for it, then we shall go. i'd prepared my gears :)

sunday would be good to doing this. early sunday. saturday there would be plenty of people especially couples. yeah. some sort of festive for couple going on this saturday. it sucks. simply because i don't have mine.

in the evening, NOT OK from OZ performing near ampang. looking forward to catch them and more importantly that all-star band. hehe...

i'm pretty sure i mentioned "looking forward" quite a few time already. yeah. after a very long time, i now have plans to look forward to during weekend. which is good, i think.

opening remarks

love,


i have none to give.
