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!

Updates - Can You Hear The Ocean?

Hari Ahad lepas, setelah bersusah payah menyusun rancangan yang sangat last minute, DEP berjaya juga practise untuk satu sesi. Semua ada kecuali Tojeng yang 'comel' *ehem* (sila rujuk gambar di atas). Practise kat studio Burger. Gile makin besar Burger. Antara kawan-kawan lain yang turut serta - Atie, Azwan (abang Burger), Arif Smith dan Meny. Ade jugak sorang dua yang lain tapi aku tak tau nama.

Practise berjalan dengan baik (walaupun gitar yang aku pakai tersangatlah heavy sound-nya) dan diharap kalau semuanya berjalan lancar, proses merakam dua lagu baru tu akan berlaku tidak lama lagi. Aku pun ade tinggalkan beberapa helai baju DEP dan kepada set Kuantan yang berminat, sila hubungi Burger di 017 974 9972.

Studio Burger juga nampaknya hari tu ade menawarkan khidmat rakaman tapi masih di tahap eksperimentasi rasanye. Dalam studio ade katil, selimut dan bantal jadi kalau rase mengantuk boleh tidur dulu sebelum jam. Hiasan di dinding studio penuh dengan poster dan gambar Burger bersama kekasih-kekasihnya (hehehe), di dalam mahupun di luar negara... Gila show off!

OK. Tshirt DEP ade lebih kurang 9 helai lagi dengan aku. Kalau berminat sila email untuk size yang diingini.

Updates - Malah Nok Tulih Wang!...

1) Tojeng dah beli gitar dari sumber yang sangat memuaskan. Harganya juga sangat berpatutan. Yamaha AES500. Tapi body dia colour hitam. Tak percaya kalau kata beli second-hand. The condition is totally superb. Gitar ni akan jadi rare sebab no longer in production. So Tojeng, toksoh gata jubor nak jual. Koya!

2) T-shirt DEP akan siap tak lama lagi dengan colour baju yang lebih berwarna-warni. Untuk design lihat di sini. Tiada perubahan dari segi colour design. Colour baju yang ditawarkan - merah, biru gelap, hitam dan mungkin hijau gelap. Kalau dah siap keseluruhan kami akan post gambar sebagai bahan bukti. Size ditawarkan - S, M , L dan XL.

3) Plan untuk recording telah dilancarkan tapi bukan untuk album ke apa. Cuma 2 lagu yang dipilih untuk record. Kitorang nak record rilek-rilek je. No pressure to do things. Tak nak terkocoh-kocoh. Tempat dan masa belum ditentukan. Nanti update lagi.

4) Kepada sesiapa yang berkenaan. Jangan lupa perjanjian syaitan kita untuk ke Bagan Lalang. Perlu seseorang untuk mengusulkan tarikh perjumpaan. Boh Mang?

Post-Raya Post

-Lebai Syabil Samping Londeh memberikan pose istimewa untuk para peminat-

Sorry geng.

Aku balik Kuantan tapi aku tak dapat nak jumpa all the gang. Ini disebabkan kesibukan melayan saudara mara yang bertandang. Aku cuma sempat ke rumah Asma sebab tu pun rumah dia dekat dengan rumah aku. Isha's pasta la vista memang superb! Petang raya ketiga aku ke rumah Arif Ramly (sebab rumah Arif pun dekat) belasah nasi dagang. Power!

Remy, Abang Long Nazir dan Epit datang rumah aku malam raya pertama. Sebab sedara aku ramai kat rumah, aku deport diorang kat rumah Asma dan balik semula ke rumah aku untuk layan sedara aku. Bila sedara aku dah blah dan aku pegi balik ke rumah Asma, diorang semua dah blah. Yang tinggal cuma Pok Sang, Pok Mang dan beberapa orang lagi yang aku tak ingat nama. Aduh! Tak sempat langsung nak catching up. Layan tengok RHCP live kat Slane Castle. Macam biasa Asma koya Chad Smith. Nasib baik Sahar takde. Kalau ade mesti dah koya Frusciante.

Sahar dan Senah datang rumah aku raya keempat.

Untuk Che Li, Mat Duan, Kerry King, Shahril Petir, Panther, Ya, Fikri, The Jalil's, Syed Azwan and other ol' buddies, aku mintak maaf sebab tak dapat langsung nak jumpe. Rasenye kena ambik cuti extra nanti.

25/10 ni aku balik lagi sebab sepupu aku kahwin di Pekan. Taknak janji ape-ape sebab nanti tak tertunai. Siapa yang dah order baju dengan aku, aku akan bawak balik time tu. Untuk sesiapa yang berminat, sila buat tempahan sebelum atau pada 17/10. Order selepas pada tarikh tu akan dilayan seperti order biasa dan postage akan dikenakan. Untuk lebih info tentang harga dan design t-shirt, sila ke sini.

Innerview #1 dan #2 pun ade lagi. Aku akan bawak balik jugak tapi mungkin tak banyak. CD DEP boleh dapatkan dari Panther, Ya, Ude ataupun Blast Studio (kat terminal).

Belilah barangan buatan Malaysia. Itu je la.

Action Reaction - It's all about passion...

Aku tak tau pasal orang lain, tapi aku seronok gila. Crew FNBKL memang pergi mana pun boleh buat tempat tu jadi happening. Kecoh gila especially si Thilaga... suka benor menjerit.

Persembahan malam tu oleh (kalau salah tolong betulkan)

1) Gang busker Bukit Bintang dengan gendangan, kerincing dan digeridoo-nya.

2) Gangan Ensemble - electronically experimental.

3) Reflex Reaction - vocally experimental. Sparred with saxophone.

4) The Garrison - reggae! tapi ada sedikit unsur pop + folk jugak la... time ni everyone gets in the groove.

5) DEP - hmmm.. pop sadis meruntun jiwa... Bem tak boleh datang sebab ada shooting kat UiTM. Diganti oleh Avroco di bahagian kerincing. Boleh tahan jugak Avroco...

6) Wolf - planned as solo act at first, but was accompanied by the 'Dragon' Aziz on trumpet during the performance. Excellent combination. Love that 'do the locomotion' part on the first song.

7) Performance yang last ni aku tak sure siapa. (Sorry. Siapa-siapa boleh tolong?) Aku nampak ada Avroco dan gang Bad Voice on guitar. Vocalist dia ada sikit gaya persembahan macam Henry Rollins, even tengah nyanyi lagu I Will Fondle...oops! Follow You.

8) Aziz - dengan persembahan kemam kerosene dan meniup api. Gila Dragon!... Banyak kali Aziz buat, siapa tak tengok memang rugi (sila rujuk gambar di atas). Kalau pergi Genting tengok tu mau dah melayang 50 ringgit. "Aziz, 31/08 ni buat kat Annexe pulak.OK?" Serious! Lagi gempak dari pertunjukan bunga api.

Lepas tu, kitorang pergi makan kat UpTown. Disajikan dengan lala dan steak yang hebat, tajaan "Boh Mang Catering".

Nota :

1) Thanks heaps to FNBKL crew, Poodien, Thilaga, Farhana, Shahril dan gang lain(aku kenal muka, tak tahu nama), for the invitation.
