itz been a week

okie... so i haven't been updating ma blog... and i kinda forgot wat i did when.. haha...

so here's wat i remembered....

fridae - 15th...
went to skol for recording.... ended up wif all of us eating at Al-ameen instead... so yea... had ma dinner ere... wif sri, syida, hendra... jus the four of us... it wasn't packed surprisingly... so we sat there for a while and den slacked at woodlands, since shida had a bus there and sri had a train there and i, well, have a bus there too...erm, ya, so anyways, sent them off and after tat, met dila and wanted to return sum books but she msg me and i tot she was already done since she didnt reply to anythin else... so yea... waited and waited... haha... went home...

sat - 16th
DYL basic theory... went to RP at 9 plus... anyways, nuthin much happenin yet... they were all jus getting prepared... so took a few pic and then the whole malay ppl from RP went to watch a bit of money not enuff while waiting for time to pass... dammm... their library is like they have a tv in the middle of the first floor and they jus use speakers... no headphones... haha... they had a keyboard i tink at one corner... anyways, so yea, den went back to start... the bands playin were mostly unknown... so didn't haf much audience.. most of the previous crew was there wif a few additions.. mostly took photos... darius was there to video the event...
quite happenin la.. though the biggest crowd was when scarlet ash played.. den 2nd was i tink was 1410... well, 1410 was a dam good crowd pleaser...

when it was all over, we went to mc to haf dinner... and den we started goin on abt DYL and wats gonna happen from then on.. discussed till the wee hours.. me bein the quiet one.. i dunno... i can't really give opinions... i mean, itz a new environment... i'm a retrospect guy... my opinions at the spur of the moment of planning is a bit dimwit.. i mean, hey, i can't even plan wat i'm doin the next day... till the next day comes... *i'm sure at least one person can attest to tat*... i'm no planner... but if u place me in the event tiself, i can go along jus fine... though sumtimes i wish i did tat or tis b4 it started, but i live in carpe diem... and i dun haf wild ideas or anythin, and i stand on the fence for almost everything... always haf done tat... maybe tats y i i cant really decide on anythin... but when i do, itz hard to let go... and i always go for the wrong reason but the wrong reason is always a good one... i haf no noble ideas in helpin out ppl... if i do agree, itz for selfish reasons... but if itz free, den wld it be selfish anymore? i dunno.. but itz always i enter for the wrong reasons but doin good.. so is tat good or bad? is it better than doin bad for the right reasons?? oh well... there, as u can see, i jus demonstrated how my mind kinda works sumtimes.. i tink of wat i did, tink of another and wonder and wonder and dun decide... so how?

anyways, went to eat at abt 4 plus at ard middle road wif everyone really tired and wif drooping eyes... me ate chicken murtabak and ancient milo... hahaha... anyways, the dam place overcharges for milo dino.. it was like $3.. and i was like, wat the??!!so anyways, waited for the bus and slept in an uncomfortable way so tat i will not fall asleep all the way... got down the bus and my eyes cldn't open properly... my eyes was dam dry... been wearin the contacts for 1 whole day... so anyways, reached home at abt 8am... went to sleep and woke up at 12 noon... i was like, WAT??!! tossed and turned till abt 1pm and jus gave up... downloaded the pic into ma comp and wasn't in the mood to edit them... so jus left them in ma comp...
sri den msg me abt the recordin on mondae and i was like, oh crap...

mondae-18th
went for ma recording and i tink i jus mixed up tis day's event wif last friday's.... err, so yea... heee

tues - 19th
dila took her final theory test todae... imagine tat.. and i'm jus abt done and i still haven't taken ma finals yet... haiyo... haha... so anyways, went to meet her after her test and we went to buke at simpang bedok... was a darn cold dae... since it was raining for half the day.. she was smiling after the test... and to say she kept tellin me she wasn't confident... i ate the roti john ere... thuogh it was a tad smaller than wat i remembered it to be... haha... den we went home... fell asleep while waitin for her to msg back... haha... still too tired from sundae i tink... haha...

wed - 20th
finally came to editin the photos... edited till i was almost done.. left wif pulse ironica only... den went for the meetin wif the dyl team at nite later in which i only knew at 4 plus... well, i wanted to say i cancel everything and went for tat... but lookin at ma schedule, the only thing i had to cancel was spendin more time wif ma pillows and bed... haha... wld haf met earlier la but i told ma parents i'm gonna be at home.. haven't been home for a while... met them at abt 8.40.. it was a meeting for another gig tat we might be doing and another person cldn't complete it cos her skol wldn't allow her to do the gig... mixed feelings abound la... i mean, i dun noe much abt organising events (hell, i cant even organise or plan 2 days from now), but it seem like a grand offer in which we are too small to take...

i dunno, personally, wat i learnt in skol, if u haf the money, u can do anything... if u dun, everything becomes a lil tad harder, and u get stretched... but if u're gonna do sumthin tat involves big cash wifout any capital for now, and u get inexperienced ppl to do it, we're jus gonna screw ourselves... in the ass and in the fart (air, if u get the comparison)... and if our air is no good, it gets harder to do other things since the air ard us already kinda stinks... i dunno, the thing abt big events is tat, either u get is done and u climb high really fast, or u jus fall really hard... and yea, ben did bring up the lettin everythin go, which was kinda dancing ard in ma head, but wat if we do smaller things in grand events? i mean, the name is there.. like the next time, oh we did tis at there... i mean, there's a higher negotiating power... if u're askin y i dun say tis all in the meetin, like i said, i cant... i let in sleep in ma head, and write it down... i can't say stuff... i'm more comfy wif written words... so anyways, i mean, bein an arm is quite a good way... but under who now? bein the arm is only as good as the whole body... no use havin the brains tellin the arm to jus scratch the ass and scrotum and put it at the nose... ( ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!) and we are pressed for time.. i mean, like it or not, money takes frist priority... and in everything else... wif cash, we can make or break... wifout cash, we HAVE to make OR break... i dun remember who said it la... but wif arts, u sumtimes gotta have the business ethics and the arts... i mean, bein an artist first, the dealings is very different if u were to be a business person first... i guess, working wif rosdi taught me tat... or rather he showed me tat... so boss, here's the first entry i ever made of u... haha... i dunno... tats ma few cents worth...
