\nA certain 25th of July 2008, I stepped into a bar…<\/p>\n


\n…all too familiar. Or not too familiar.<\/p>\n


\nThere was loud music rockin’. This band? Meh. I shouted Freebird! and they didn’t play it!<\/p>\n


\nYep, it was the reopened Jamasia<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nAh, such wonderful memories of sitting in front on the wooden floor. Note that the bar moved to where the sound console was last at, and the sound console moved into a corner of the stage, and yet it seemed much spacier, with room for a snooker table at the back!<\/p>\n


\nThe occasion? Khai<\/a>‘s birthday!<\/p>\n

This guy single-handedly brought me to places which I wouldn’t or hadn’t been to in ages. I had not been to The New Paul’s Place<\/b>, after it got raided one New Year’s Eve for “black metal”… until Khai had his screening of Ciplak there.<\/p>\n

Likewise, I hadn’t been to Jamasia<\/b> for months until he sent us all invites on Facebook!<\/p>\n

Ironically, the first ever gig I’d been to, Good Golly, It’s A Gig!<\/b> at the original location of No Black Tie<\/b> (where a backpacker’s lodge is now) was organized by FYI Entertainment, of which he is a part of.<\/p>\n


\nMeanwhile, they painted the guitar on the wall anew! All the signatures and autographs were gone!<\/p>\n


\nYes, that’s what Peter Hassan Brown must’ve thought, too…<\/p>\n

Fender Stratocasters don’t have 23 frets!<\/p>\n


\nBeer bottle slidin’ with Rollin’ Sixers<\/b>. (Yes, formerly known as Triple6Poser<\/b>.)<\/p>\n


\nHenry doing a Slash.<\/p>\n


\nEddy… OHMYGOD EDDY! Where are your trademark long locks?<\/p>\n

When I first entered, I saw him, grabbed his shoulders and went NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Yes, everybody heard it… it’s like a part in a comedy where the character screams and the camera zooms out into outer space.<\/p>\n


\nDavina<\/a> makes the funniest faces. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n


\nKhai getting the “it’s okay, you down this one, it’s the last one okay? I won’t make you down any more…<\/i>” treatment.<\/p>\n

I also took the opportunity to take pictures and say “This is going on Facebook! This is going on Facebook! I’m going to tag you!<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Well, I always wanted to say that. Not that I have actually uploaded any photos on Facebook of other people.<\/p>\n


\nDavina’s got ants in her pants and wait whoa whazzat a very cool T-shirt!<\/p>\n


\nFinally, the Rollin’ Sixers demarcated the big cyan guitar on the wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
