Lately

20th Aug 2012. Man oh man... It's been awhile since I last updated my blog. Well, a lot has happened since then. The single & working life. I've gotten used to it. Apart from all that work & performing, I also had my practicals at RAM Productions under Roger Wang. It was a wonderful experience. Had the opportunity to learn a lot of things regarding studio work (mixing, recording, sequencing,minus one, etc.). Had the privilege of being one of the sound/stage crew for KK Jazz Fest 2012 that was held at the covered tennis court, Marina Court, Sutera Harbour. It...was...AWESOME! Of course, it was awesome being able to perform during the concert as well with Asif, Rene & Reo.

Put aside all that work & performance, there were a lot of ups & downs in my personal life. Was played (again) by this girl I met whom I thought was the next one. But as the French saying goes; c'est la vie. I learnt from it & my guard's been up ever since.y heart's gotten cold & it's hard for me to be happy anymore. I no longer find the joy of having any company from friends & family. But I still have the tendency of trying to keep them happy. Ironic. Able to make people happy but unable to make myself happy. I pray that this is just a test from God. But if my fate is to be alone & to fulfill other people's desires, then so be it.

On another issue, I just completed my internship. Next year, I'll be leaving for KL & probably won't. E returning KK anytime soon. Quite possibly even migrate to Australia. Life as a musician in Malaysia is painstakingly hard. It's almost impossible to make a good name for myself here, plus all the awful memories I have of this place. Although I've met wonderful people like Eman, Jude, Danielson, Gordon, and other friends (I'm sorry but the list goes on because that's how many awesome people I've met), I've decided to leave this place & make a living somewhere else.

First Day of Internship

Goodness! Three years have passed just like that. Time flies pretty fast & it's been ages since I've updated my blogspot. Anyway, it's the first day of my internship here at RAM Productions in Damai & my boss is Roger Wang. One of my classmates is also doing his internship here, but will be under Chris Pereira aka Decipher which is the night shift. I'm sorta excited with all of this & I'm looking forward to working with Roger. It's also exciting that I'll be learning how to work in a recording studio. I've always wanted to learn how to record the professional way. I hope this is my calling.

Anyway, apart from school stuff a lot of other personal things have been going on. Most of it were good. Some were painful experience. A few months ago I broke up with my ex and it was a few weeks after our 2nd anniversary. Looks like things didn't go the way we planned. I'm happy for her though because a few weeks after the break up, she went official with another guy who was after her for a very long time even when we were still together. At least she moved on & had someone to catch her immediately. I am however enjoying the single life again. Honestly, it does feel great in a way! Not that I'm saying things weren't great before, but I dunno. It's hard to explain. Maybe it's because I won't have to deal with drama for now. And it's probably because I have that sense of freedom as well. I wanna focus on work. Maybe after that then I'll start thinking about relationships again.

Apart from all that heartbreaking issue (LoL!), I've made some cool new friends. Alex, Kaykay, Arjun, Tiara, Nadia, Hazel & Joy. Apart from my close friends like Eman & the rest of the Mob family, they too made my life a lot more awesome again. Short lived due to the fact that we'd all be busy with our own things again & some complications, but it was all worth it & thanks so much guys for being there =). I know there's been a lot of downs lately and 2011 was probably the worst year I've ever had so far, but I believe this year's gonna be better & that there's always a blessing in disguise.

I think that's all I can write about for now so, more updates soon! Sooner than you think ;)

P.S Tiara, if you're reading this, wear glasses more often.
