Back to regular scheduled programming

My house phone line’s been dead since Friday now, and Streamyx is supposed to work despite that, but it doesn’t.

Friday: Celebrated Shaz’s birthday at Burger King Midvalley. I think we were happy. KJ came before Shaz! I didn’t get him a dirty blonde (should’ve just introduced Davina’s surprisingly black hair to mustard) but he was happy.

Saturday: Went to the office, then home, to cower like a chicken.

Sunday: Went to Midvalley, to the KLue, Starbucks presents HSBC Chillout Sessions, to bid farewell to Irma. I helped the usually distraught friend to take pictures of say:


This latte will evaporate in one hour


From the filename and picture, I wonder why I bother hiding her identity by calling her the distraught friend


Shelley and Az, waiting for their turn to perform (see, even when they’re not performing, they look artistic!)


I love Shelley. She had to run and leave me this chocolate cinnamon roll leftover


Pete Teo doing a soundcheck. Nice tuning pegs!


Thank you everybody! Come to my album launch!


Zahid of Disagree must be going, “bestnya acoustic set! Can sit down!” (The solo on Crumbs was hummed, coolness!)


Pete is joined by Zahid and Hamka of Disagree (Disagree with Pete! Or rather, Pete with Disagree!)

I like this picture.

PALA at Mines and Ed on airlines

Pardon the laziness; hope pictures will suffice.

Got on the train to the Mines Exhibition Center for the PALA sound thingymajiggy. It was a total geekout session for audio/video techie people, but I came to drool at guitars.


I got this while registering with my business card.


Audio engineer pr0n (the salesman/digital-mixer-pimp got Syefri‘s attention for quite a bit)


LASER fields. I’m blind!


Sham of Kamikaze jams with Andy Timmons. I’d never seen or heard either guitarist before, but I thought Sham looked pretty Dr. Evil-like on stage (he’s the one in white). This was Andy Timmons’ session; I spotted Amil of Dragon Red doing his usual Jimi Hendrix expressions when Andy covered Little Wing. Haha!

Rain Washes

Saturday
Went for the AXN thing first thing in the morning; bummed around till the end and won an umbrella, mug and army knife. Picture is not of me solving it gloriously and looking to the left, seeing my competitors haplessly catching pieces falling all over.

Two Heads

Damn the free coffee; it kept me up till 6am Monday. Damn the airconditioner in the office; it gave me a flu.

I bought Alex’s 17″ monitor on Tuesday. Realizing that my keyboard was of the big-sized-connector variety, I headed over to a computer shop nearby and bought a Logitech NewTouch Keyboard. Damn it too; the Samsung one was even sissier, but the shop hadn’t much choice. I like my keyboards with tactile, resounding TAK TAK TAK when I type. At least it was cheap; otherwise, I’d never have bought a Logitech.

When typing fast, some letters would just disappear. At least it had an armrest.

A Voodoo 3 graphics card never went well with Windows XP; thus limiting what I could play:

Busiest Monday

Bintang Walk, and a few roads off it, had its busiest Monday, and it was not a public holiday. The cause of traffic jams that was of no consequence to me? HELP Institute’s Fete De La Musique 2004.

This shall be an exercise in linking as much as I can, perhaps in parody of link-everything-overinformatively blogs and websites with too many sponsored links.

I headed there with digicam, printed schedule and map, to Berjaya Times Square first, bumping into Alda and the rest of Dragon Red, including extended family members like Debbie. Syefri was there too, awaiting his turn to not follow schedule.

I headed to Sungei Wang to meet up with Hanna and Carolyn. There wasn’t much there after the Dancing Queens, and so our legs took us through air-conditioned conditions to BB Plaza and then Lot 10 and KL Plaza, bumping into KJ the retired porcupine hair bearer. KL Plaza held no promise, as we headed down Star Hill lane to lead up to Music Exchange. Despite its “Closed Mondays” sign, Hanna left with 7 CDs.

Waffles

I went to college to find my lecturer still in her hometown, with a blur-as-heck collegemate going “I think next week got class lah…”

Ah well, no use slitting wrists over that, I said, and walked over to A&W KLCC. I ordered a coney dog combo with root beer float, and a waffle with butter and syrup. I put the tray on the table and went to the sink to wash my hands. As I walked back, they brought a waffle with icecream and strawberry syrup!

Eh I ordered with butter and syrup!

As they left, I realized that my tray already had butter and syrup. Damn, wasted a chance to have free icecream and strawberry syrup.

My intention was to put butter, then syrup, then fill the waffle cells like honeycombs with icecream from the float, like so:

Notice on the right that there was more than enough leftover float. 🙂 Yes that is how I eat my waffles uh-hyuk.

Oh, and I’ve updated my Quotes with:
“The darker it is, the more powerful the effect of the flash.”

16 Pictures

I have a digital camera. I will now brandish in a cam-boy pose:


(Yes, I won’t be putting ALT parameters on my pictures for this particular blog update.)

I bought it second-hand from Smashpop one Thursday night.

On Friday night, I was off to Ikano again, for Az‘s performance with Shelley Leong.


(Oh look you can click on him!)

Double-tapping on an acoustic!


It was the first time I got to see both play guitars at the same time (Az on lead, how neat is that?)

Shelley sent me to Hartamas so I could get a cab, and Projet Destina was filled with Honda Jazzes! (Cue call MW to find her brother’s car and take pictures of it.)


I dub it the Honda Jazz Festival.

On Saturday, I went to Sunway Pyramid a bit too early; 9:30am to be exact. I heard a piano playing, and it was:


Jenifer playing the piano that was just there in the middle of Sunway Pyramid!

I walked around the IT Center, and bumped into:


Douglas, the guy who sold me the 128 Megabyte Transcend xD-Picture flash card. I was no longer limited to 16 MB!

I then headed over to DJ Phuturecybersonique‘s crib and got quite a view.


The view.

A yellow… Mercedes, parking below, as seen in his balcony.

Dry Ice in water. Jakuned I did!


I then packed oodles of currypuffs and fried(?) chicken home. My family feasted on the leftovers.

That night, I walked to the clock tower to wait for my bus; on the way there, a wee bit off Masjid Jamek, I saw this:


Hmmm.

How did it get there?


On Sunday, I watched Shrek 2 with the photogenic Lazing Eye. We found:


A teddybear that looks like Corinne!

I gathered the 4D puzzles that I got Scherzquin hooked on to, and took this:


My brother and I have a zoo

This poor defective elephant had a twisted foot


Also, while passing by the Lipton Express Yourself tunnel in KLCC today, I found that this was now unmoveable!
