Gig Whore

(Sorry to disappoint u guys, but this obviously isn't me :P)

After having The Freeloaders' gigs last week, I realised how much I missed being onstage.
Singing. Grooving. Screaming.
Seducing the audience. Or attempting to.

Remembering the adrenaline rush in the veins in anticipation of the crowd's cheer and the blinding spotlights.
The slight crease on the forehead in revision of the last min change of lyrics or progression.
The moment of triumph upon execution of the last song.

Could never have enough of 'em gigs.
Never will.
Not even with grey hair, wrinkly skin & falling teeth.

Those who are yet to graduate may not appreciate as much how precious each moment is spent fooling around in the bandroom and prancing onstage.
It is only natural human behaviour to take these priviledges for granted until, of course, these aren't granted anymore.

It is only after a series of events got us realizing how much we wanted our band to work out.
Especially with the huge potential we have to rock the world out there.
Hey, how many bands have female power harmony sia!

Well, we have loads to learn from the big boys like Surath the one man wonder, and his band Reverie.
Ah pek Victor the fast fingers blues maestro.
The Dubious Bros, JamX winners.

We're the new kids on stage of course.
But hey, we might be rocking your neighborhood soon enough ;)

And especially with an exciting lineup of the new Freeloaders.
Who they are, you may ask?
Patience now.
We shall debut soon.
To freeload on anyone and everyone. Muahaha.

Hello world, here we come.
With a bit of luck. A bit of sweat.
A bit of tears. A bit of hope.
A bit of everything.


P.s. Cut my hair short in a spur of a moment again.
Looked like I'm bloody acting cute again.
Dammit.


P.p.s. Inspired by The UnXpected to take up acoustic. Well, enough to bluff with lah at least, hehe. Should I? Should I?

Running Out

Is time essentially ticking out on us;
If we hesitate in leaving our comfort zone;
If we couldn't strive hard enough for what we have always aimed for;
Even after countless disappointments encountered?

Do we willingly slave away through our daily routine;
Dieing a little every second, every minute, every day;
Too busy to question the ultimate role of our existence?
But even if we do start asking those relevant questions,
Would we ever find that answer in time?

Ring That Doorbell

Welcome back!

With a million things that happened within that span of blog inactivity...
It is best summarising them in a short post.



Work

Model finally validated :D :D :D
All the blood, sweat, tears and angst had finally came to bear fruit.
Oh-so-sweet fruit. Oh yeah.

And yes, we are going to Europe.

A week in London.
(Shall I revisit the London Eye?)



A week in Vienna, Austria.
(Hellooo Schonbrunn Palace).



(And I got the Sound of Music ringing in my ears. Yes that was where it was filmed at).



And two weeks getting lost in Europe. Czech Republic & Italy particularly.
(First to the dancing house, Prague).


(And then to Venice, the ultimate city of romantic, gondolas & masquerades).


It's finally worth it. Oh yeah.




The Freeloaders


Come this month, we shall start playing at some events.
Project Identity on 15 July.
The Army gig on 19 July.
Hope to get some opening/resident gigs soon.
Do let me know if you guys have any places in mind where we can patronize (or rather, terrorize hurhur).



Finally heard the Unexpected play at Wala's.
Woah the singer's one powerful, sexy singer in her own moody way.
And the guitarist, he's like Uncle Vic 10 years down the road.
He's tt amazing.

Very much inspired to hit the pubs.
Soon, soon. *crosses fingers*





Salsa

Began twirling at The Union Square proper on Fridays.
Time to get the groove back.
Sway, waist. Stay, shoulders.



Some of the SherryTreeFriends kaki are back for the hols.
Welcome back Wing, Bri, Cheryl, Youyi.
Ah the company of the wacky peeps again.




Sad to see dear Ying leave for Aussie for her studies.
All the best babe, cu soon in Dec! Hugz.


(Reunion of the Quatro Loco. Almost. Porsh, come back alr!)


Indonesia

Absolutely amazing.
Will upload the pics next month.
Sorry Adi, about the cam.
So much for travelling on a budget lol. We're now broke again.
Now if only I could get OT pay. Sigh.


(A lil preview. Prambanan temple: spot the fusion of the ancient and the new).


(The Garuda statue: hailed to be taller than the Statue of Liberty upon completion).




Geraldine's Wedding
Attended my first classmate's wedding on 07-07-07.
A hot wedding date indeed.
Had to reject 2 other receptions to travel back to M'sia to see the beautiful bride and groom tie the knot at the Palace of the Golden Horses.

Hmm, ideas on a perfect wedding.
Maybe I shall turn it into a rock concert.
With spotlights & smokescreens.
Right. Lol.



Tennis
Picked it up again as well.
Been playing on weekends, except lately.
Have been a bit busy running about.
Oh well, hope to whack some balls soon.
That always seem to have some... therapeutic effect... on me.
Must be the feeling of raw power tingling in one's hands.
Now if only I could move my feet as quickly too.



As for the rants on the world, those shall wait.
Once those darker inspirations hit.
Hurhur.
