Take Over Control

ZOMG! Party celebrated its first birthday on the 24th September, 2010 in style with Blink right on the decks immediately after having endured a grueling 8 hour flight from Kuala Lumpur. Good to see a decent amount of familiar faces during the night as it totally felt just like back home (minus the sweat and smoke).

You know it’s never a dull night especially when spent with friends and also after a few (or more) drinks. We practically stayed on the dancefloor, screaming our lungs out and that’s as far as I can remember throughout the whole night. Also, a very big welcome to Australia to Jacinta of LEFTBLOCK!

The night was far too epic for me to handle. Had the worst Saturday ever in a long while and been laying off alcohol since. Right, so I did break the spell by having a couple of Vodka and beer over the past three weeks but that’s probably less than what I would usually consume on a regular Friday night itself. Pretty good achievement, I’d say.

My lovely Sunday has now come to an end, and so it’s back to work again… Monday f**kin’ blues, ay!

ZoukOut 2010 Line-Ups

In case you haven’t figure it out just yet, the line-ups for ZoukOut 2010 is now officially released. This year’s installment boasts some of the biggest names in conjunction with the 10th anniversary since ZoukOut was first introduced. Dutch powerhouse Tiesto will be headlining the event alongside French compatriot, David Guetta who’s had a very successful career over the past years with massive collaborations between artistes.

Others who are in the same bandwagon include Afrojack, Laidback Luke, Dubfire, Booka Shade, Jazzy Jeff and Dubfire, just to name a few. The event will be held on the 11th December 2010 at Sentosa Siloso Beach, loosely dubbed as the home of one’s highly anticipated event of the year.

As much as I would love to go for this year’s ZoukOut, I’d be spending my summer here in Melbourne instead. My last visit was back in 2006 and never got the chance to do a hat-trick since. However, we do have Stereosonic to look forward to and it’s going to be twice as massive! Just going to have to earn some cash prior to Christmas and all’d be good. Yes I know, it will be.

Spring Clean

Well, it surely has been a while, ay? Much had happened over just little past 7 months, I must say. Can’t exactly determine if the occurrences were for the better or worse, though I’m trying to make the most out of my every day spent here in Melbourne by earning every bit of cash if possible by doing freelance jobs. Anyone willing to hire me, please?

Was browsing through some of the past works that I have completed over the months, and think it would be a waste after having coded this revamped layout, only to chuck it aside due to other commitments. Still quite a bit of tweaking before I’d claim it to be a fully functional one. For now, I am just going to have to take time getting used to blogging once again.

Though I hate to admit this very much, it kinda feels good to be back here. Perhaps I would have done much better in my IELTS writing test as well if only I hadn’t procrastinated. Rusty as your grandparent’s jingle bells! Am going to try very hard to keep this blog alive for as long as I remain breathing but hey, no promises ay?

Just to show you the proof that I’m very much well and alive. Good night, people of all shapes and sizes. Looking forward to seeing you again here.

Winter Sound System 2010

Stay tuned…. (And yes, I’m back!)

What Comes Around Goes Around

Everyone eventually learns from their mistakes but I guess you made the worst decision ever in choosing this path of yours. Your actions have showed how much of a spineless numb nut who can’t stand up to your own wrongdoings.

Please don’t prove me right cause I really hate the idea of coming up to you and say: I TOLD YOU SO!

Resume

May be 60 hours late but, I’m back in Malaysia! Calling calling…

Walking On A Dream

I think we might have just found the perfect alternative to our occasional drinking session at Backpackers. After what seemed to be a rather chaotic last night out at the good ol’ pub, we now look forward to the next karaoke session with another 3 bottles of Black Label and hopefully more hours of singing (or screaming).

Last night at Chi karaoke proved to be nonetheless, a rowdy one as 13 of us somehow managed to squeeze into a rather tiny room. 3 bottles of BL for the price of 2 made the night even more memorable as we were trying out on their new karaoke system with up-to-date extensive list of songs to choose from.

Am utterly surprised how we got out of the place, not feeling even a tiny bit of intoxication. The adrenaline rush from belting out dodgy, cheesy and the ever infamous songs in the 90s as well as the heat! Things got a little bit stuffy in the room as everyone was puncturing their lungs like there’s no tomorrow!

Hmm.. Am gonna miss times like these, though I’m looking forward to heading back home for now. SEXPO tomorrow and Alex birthday cum Richmond’s farewell at VII as well.

Have a great night, peeps!

The Day The Lapsap Turns 23

As much as I would love to ramble like how I always do but work’s calling, so this shall be a quick one. But what a night it was witnessing three people going down after a somewhat heavy load of drinks at Matthew’s. Much thanks to Ting Sen for all the hassle of going to the market just to get us fresh crabs and kangkung for the 6 course meal. Still craving for the chilli crab *salivates*

Hope you had a blast, and happy birthday once again (to Wilson as well!)

Birdman…. What?

Yet another casual day out with the usual ones as Michelle brought us to Birdman Eating in Fitzroy for lunch. The lamb is to die for, along with the fried calamari but we didn’t get to try the rabbit meat Michelle was raving about though. Perhaps another round before I head back to KL?

It actually was quite a scorching hot day and we were seated outside for quite some time with my back baring to the high UV indexed sunlight. Thankfully a couple got off just in time for us to move in and needed an ice cold beer to keep the temperature at bay.

I actually find the snapper fish pretty intriguing, as it reminded me very much of ikan bakar back home, though nothing beats the original ones. And for the measly price that we had to pay for such a sumptuous lunch, I highly recommend to just about anybody about Birdman!

Something I did for my Digital Audio/Video unit this semester. Could have done better but I’m happy with the end product, nevertheless. Just thought of sharing with my loyal readers. Comments are very much appreciated :)
