Hahakz!What better way to end my job contract, I'm so darn happy rite now!No, VERY HAPPY!!!There's so much freedom for me rite now, I dun feel so emotionally stress anymore.Hehe, and I've sworn never again to be too mat too emo(even though I'm already labelled as one.Damn you Izzah, you LMT, Little Miss Tudung...hehe).Huh, what sia!I've been too stressed up this past few weeks, and I was so emotionally down then.Ok lar, nak tahu tak kenape aku happy?Tahu tak kenape?Aku pun tak tahu,huahuahua...(Yat, enough is enough ok.Lame...)Fine, there's a lot of things I'm happy bout k...
Anyway, in today's long entry, I'd like to share my experience while I was away for a function cum CNY!Man, its darn fun alrite, totally ecstatic! Ok, watever it is, lets start from the bottom, don't wanna spoil the surprise eh?Roll tape...
3.00 pm
It was a Friday afternoon, so after my Solat Jumaat, I head straight to MacPherson.I don't even remember where it was actually held lah, coz the organizers were the ones who picked me up from a merc!Wah, talk about VIP, ME!Hehe, anyway, then I was escorted to the backstage( not actually one, coz its a function under a huge tent..) and they introduced me to this three intrumentalist.They were so hand...hand...aiyah, I'm a guy, for God's sake.Ya, truthfully they were tall and handsome.They're also in their 20's, so I was considered the junior there.Then we talked, and I got to know all three of them.Ok, they were Zak(actually Zaki, but dun noe why lah..), he's the drummer, and there was Ubi( I dun also noe why the name.Maybe makan banyak kerepek ubi, hehe...), he's the bassist and then there was Hermin, he was the guitarist.And while we were sitting together, they were also with their spouses, and there I was sitting alone, sorang.Takde temanita ke per?Hehe, tak kisah...
Anyway, we discussed about the type of song we would like to play on that very nite.Remember, classical but cheery?Yeah,darn it.We brainstormed sampai pusing kepala dibuatnye, when Zak played something so familiar to me.It was the intro of That Thing you Do, dan ilham itu tetibe je mendatang.HAH, kite buat lagu Siti!Huh?No, not Siti, I mean Exists, but the song name is Percayakan Siti.And my God I tell you this guys were at first so astonished sampai mulut pun ternganga besar,hehe...
5.30 pm
Ok, the song was confirmed, but we had only three more hours left!Man, but this guys were just too professional, better than my former band, they were so prepared. They brought along their files and musical notes, and I only managed to bring my chrome tuner, iPod mini and voice recorder. So much for preparation eh?Hehe, but at least I had memorize the song, it was my expectation to sing an Exists song anyway.And while I was warming up my vocals, nafsu ku diuji.Haha, there were also dancers, Girl dancers there, and man they were so...MENGANCAM!!!But Zak was the crowd pleaser, wooing all the ladies there.(unfortunately he can't flirt, he brought along he's spouse wat...)Then, the organisers brought us the costumes, it is damn TRENDY!Red, full suit and long-sleeved...
Everything was in place, but our band were still up on stage trying to jam things up before show time.Maklum lah, we did'nt even went through rehearsals, it was so sudden.It took us three agonizing tries, but by then my throat is already too cramped.Argh!I'm so damn nervous, dun even remembered how many glasses of drinks I drank to cleared up my throat, it felt so dry...
8.30pm.
Show time!And there we were with all these beautiful dancers(aaahhh, paradise...hehe) and some hip-hop dancers backstage.The show was a joint organisation by the malay community and the chinese senior citizen committee celebrating the CNY alrite.But I did'nt noe who's the guest of honour though, ar I think he's from the ministry of home affairs I think, I THINK lar!!! But there was no Taufik on that day,hehe...Ok first, some intro by the host(a chinese artiste, but I dun remember his name...) and a malay dance by the dance group from a secondary school, aiyah forget wat school lar!Anyway, there was the usual lucky draw and finally our show!I mean, OUR SHOW!Ha, so this is it...we went upstage, set things up, and damn I was so nervous I almost dropped the mic...
Zak then fired things up, he's drumbeat was off the chart man!Like, TOTALLY!!!And then Min and Ubi continued, until the vocal part...First, I was sheepish, my voice sounded soft.But, I built up my momentum, and ranged my voice. And the guests went wild!Some even hit the dance floor, and I did'nt even realized that until after the performance!
After our performance, I still had to sing, now a song called belaian jiwa at the end of the show.Hehe, too bad I did'nt sang on behalf my class durin grad nite.It was a day I'll never forget man, never...
11.30pm
After the show, the organisers and my band-mates praised me.Wah, never had praises before, I'm so flattered.But then, I also got to meet this someone who approached me later after those praises.At first I ws cautious, she walked towards me as though I had owe her something.Next thing I knew, she sat beside me!Argh, cair I...
She introduce herself, her name was Julia.Ah, Julia?...
Ku dambakan kita hidup bersama
Sepasang kekasih teman yang setia
Asalkan kau sudi ku kan bahagia
Kerna ku percaya jiwa kita, satu tak terpisah
...Julia
Hehe, and I did'nt noe she was also one of the dancers for the malay dance!She was 18, like...18-16.18-16, anything strange?I'm 16, she's 18, and she's way to senior to me alrite.Tapi, kalau dah ade jodoh, sape tahu kan, hehe...She's also schoolin in ITE(west) Clementi!So far ah!And then she said she once saw me in one of the kugiran competitions, she even said she loved my voice!Really?!And there I was, maintaining my cool-ness, maintain...She's testing my nafsu alrite, man and her beauty, so anggun...
We chat for a long time, and I remembered some of our conversations...
Julia:when you always sing, I noe you were thinking of someone.You always let your heart out rite?Who is this special someone, is she someone you deeply love?
And I was so dumbfounded when she asked me that!How could she knew? Could'nt be my mother, or my sister, or ...ok put it simply, I can't lie to her rite?But, you guys might have known, that someone, she was after all my inspiration, whom I've forgotten but she'll always be in my heart forever.Of course I said...
Me:Just don't talk bout it k...
I would'nt wanna talk about it wat! But thankfully she understand my feelings.After our long conversation, she agreed to be my other sister-tak-bleh-angkat!Haha, and she even ask me out this Tuesday with her friends and their boyfriends to catch a movie!Hehe, not a date ar, just goin out...
Then it was time to say goodbye.Man, I so gonna miss this three temporary band-mates, they were so awesome, they were like brothers to me.But, like they said, life has to go on.And for the organisers, I would also like to thank you, for giving me a great function to perform, I truly enjoyed it.Guess I was wrong in accusing all of you after all, it went perfectly, even though last minute.And for Julia, hope we'll meet this Tuesday, can't wait...
Well, that's one long entry.Hehe, I'm so glad I finally can rest. Haiz, too bad I've no date cum this Valentine's day, that's on Sunday and Monday.Well, will Tuesday count then?Hehe, I'm so jealous of Kian Yong, he's got two dates consecutively, Sunday and Monday.What a lucky guy...
That's it for today, I'm kinda sick actually, my throat's abit sore.Till then, may God Bless You, Wassallam.
And to all the happy and loving couples, Happy Valentine's Day...
was rockin' on
