I read on MusicCanteen<\/a> about a Christmas Eve gig in Plaza Mont Kiara at the office. Too bad then, that I had to meet up with family for church.<\/p>\n

They picked me up at an LRT station, and we headed to the crowded roads near the church to park. My sister was sick, so the following conversation ensued:<\/p>\n

Mom<\/b>: Are you sure you’re up to going to church?
\nSis<\/b>: Yeah, I can still go…
\nMom<\/b>: (Looking at normally empty roads full of parked cars) Are you sure? You can’t be sick for Christmas!
\nSis<\/b>: Yeah, still can go…<\/p>\n

We didn’t go in the end. Deep down, I knew my sister wanted to go for some innate reason. I didn’t say anything to influence the decision, so I was glad when my mom so happened to take the Hartamas route back home. I asked to be dropped off, and I strolled into McDonalds.<\/p>\n

I bumped into the marketing dude of a big, big<\/b> company. DJCS<\/a> knows him. He asked what I was there for; I told him about MusicCanteen, gesturing to the soundcheck. He typed out an email on his laptop to various people, asking them to check out the site.<\/p>\n

What a flukeful stroke of luck, if I should next see their logo there among the list of sponsors for an event. It would be somewhat thanks to me!<\/p>\n

So there was Frequency Cannon<\/a>, Edge Of Fire, Nitrus, TragicComedy (with cool Hendrix licks), One Buck Short (featuring Zack of Cosmic Funk Express), Flatline, Naked Breed, and…<\/p>\n

Estranged.<\/p>\n

Featuring Alda (the original bassist) on bass and Mooky (of One Buck Short) on vocals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As if that wasn’t enough, Adam (of Dragon Red<\/a>) took to vocals after that, for a furious Velocity<\/i>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another surprise was Dragon Red; during Fade Away<\/i>, Adam guided Amil down the stairs of the stage, where he did his solo in the moshpit<\/i>.<\/p>\n

It was then that Debbie<\/a> and I realized he was a bit too far from his amplifier!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Righto. Wireless. The way it was revealed (with Amil walking far out) was major coolness.<\/p>\n

As for those who worried about the rock quotient, well most bands didn’t even play Christmas songs, unless they were featured in MusicCanteen’s Christmas compilation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now, for something outside depressing chronological order.<\/p>\n

I finally have something new for my Quotes<\/a> page:
\n“If you’re the only one left, you’re always right!<\/i>”<\/p>\n

I went to The Curve<\/b> in Mutiara Damansara. Scenic indeed it was, as this was a scene out of a mafia crimelord’s mansion:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oh and Merry (belated) Christmas! Note the merged cube (an article describing how to do it yourself will come).<\/p>\n
