Mandrem Part 1... (Sila abaikan kalau ejaan salah)

Imej dicilok dari blog Ateng.

Semakin hangat diperkatakan yang mereka akan ke Malaysia tidak lama lagi untuk tour yang julung-julung kalinya.

Pekara yang mesti dilakukan sebelum ketibaan mereka:

1) Menghafal semua lagu dari 9 album mereka (rase macam lebih).. kalau boleh, hafal mandrem sekali...

2) Mencari semula baggy pants, atau baggy shorts... (harap-harap masih belum jadi kain lap kaki di pintu bilik air).

3) Cari baseball cap kat Sungei Wang yang ade embroidery 'NY'. (Pastikan yang tak begitu tinggi, nanti macam hip hop pulak...)

4) Cari kasut vans old skool low cut...

5) Pegi kedai Burma kat Petaling Street, cari rantai manik yang besar dan ngam-ngam dengan ukur lilit tengkuk.

6) Praktis jumpkick, setiap hari sebanyak 20 kali. Ketinggian lompatan mestilah melebihi satu meter (mimimum).

7) Vege diet dan tinggalkan lifestyle yang kurang sihat (merokok, minum dan sebagainya).

Siapa panggil gua POSER ari gig tu nanti, gua jumpkick dia 3 kali.

Ada berani???

Am I having a mid-life (earth) crisis?

Ke mana arah tuju kugiran berdikari jika tidak bermotifkan wang dan nama?

Atau tidak perlu ada arah tuju? Just go with the flow?

Aku pernah berborak pasal hal ni dengan si Fakap baru-baru ni.
We agreed that why bother to reason(s). Just buat je...

Semudah itu ke?

When we started to give reasons, we're actually showing elements of uncertainty and doubts with the decision made. Rasa serba tak confident dengan diri sendiri dan cuba memberi penjelasan supaya ianya can be justifed with our actions...

Aku buat band ni sebab...

Pilihan jawapan MUNGKIN seperti berikut:

1) Aku tak suka Hujan sebab diorang "Indie Major Label"... aku nak jadi "Indie Indie Label"...

2) I want to express myself effectively. So I sing with a 'cockney' accent. (Woot = What)

3) Aku nak ekspres diri aku dengan efektif jadi aku nyanyi guna slanga pelik. (Bucha = Buta)

4) Aku tak suka band-band MTV..... V Channel ok...

5) I believe in DIY spirit... I don't trust A&R or managers. I'll deal directly with major labels' CEO.

Aku dan Fakap takde sebab...

Kalau takde sebab, tak boleh main band ke???

The Only Good Manifesto is Many-feasto!

POWER! Itu saja yang aku boleh cerita pasal seafood di Jeram pada Ahad malam, 15/3/09 tempohari. Bayangkan sampai tak sempat nak ambik gambar hidangan sebab dah ter-over excited. Kamera pun tah ke mana.

Walaupun hujan kami gagahkan juga untuk pergi sebab perjanjian syaitan telah dibuat. Walaumacamanapun, ianya memang berbaloi! (Gayah... serious power, wish you were there! I'd love to see you devour that kerapu...hehehe!)

It's been awhile since the last time I met Atan. He's getting bigger. Atan and Man G are regulars at Shah Alam's extreme park, dirt bike course. I'd say rugged but healthy lifestyle. He even talked me into owning a bike and cycling all over Putrajaya once a month. Errrrr... can I take a raincheck on that?

His son Akhil has been such an angel. Tak bising langsung walaupun dah past his bedtime. Cool macam Atan la jugak. And I'm very happy to know that his birthday is the same as mine. I'm expecting a co-birthday party this year and will only need to blow a candle. Yeah!

Thanks to Shayna, Zax, Man G, Atan, Eda, Little Akhil and of course Mrs. Acai for making this a happening one indeed. Nothing beats a great (re)union over a sinfully delicious feast.

I'm hoping for a bigger participation next time, celebrating friends, old and new.

Cheers!

Note: Dirty Dogs are currently having some good bathing and planning to stay clean for the time being. Go figure!

Yeah, I know..

Too bad I got nothing to do with this business at all.
