Fadersss....!

Went to watched the Faders at atmosphore last saturday! well. i was being dumb for going there so so earlyyy... but after that everything was G-Reat..! ok ok, for all those who don't know who they are, they're these trio girl rock band from the UK. Very British music, which ain't a bad thing really!In actual fact, before that day, I've neither heard of them or heard any of their songs!! It was only through diGi, who were giving away tickets that i went.
So what were they like? very entertaining i must say. A bit similar to Avril but much heavier and less of that 'cool' attitude. Credit must go to the drummer( can't remember her name!) but she was really rokcing on the drums. The lead singer, molly was alright in the vocals and has reasonable guitar skills but i wished she had played mroe riffs and solos herself instead on relying on the background music. The bassist was great too, and she was really hot too:P Besides the heavy rock, they do play a few slow rock songs which were quite nice. Overall, their music, while satisfying doesn't have the impact of a Super super great and deep and meaningful song. It's refreshing though. They're still young being only around 18, so they do have time to mature and really hit it off! have they last long than an one album stint or break up after massive success...:P
Oh, that day, i was shocked that the Digi invite included a greet and meet session. Must say that they were really nice in person, and hot:P they haven't achieved 'celebrity egoness' yet. Got their autographs on my free copy of their album. and some photos which i'm still waiting to be sent to me!! Blueks! Really hope they make it BiG, then my album would really have a high value! That about concludes everything but i do hope DiGi organize things like this again!

Bon Odoriii

It's been a pretty long while since i've wrote anything, not that there are much readers anyway!!
my life's still my life and i'm not dead yet .... for now at least and it's just about the end of an almost hectic crazy killing week..
Bon Odori was the start of it all, which was last Saturday by the way. For those who has no idea of what it is, it's a Japanese Mass dance festival to celebrate the dead?( Correct me if i'm wrong). Well, they have here too in Malaysia, in Selangor , Matshusita Sports Complex. It was reported that there were 34,000 people but seems too much to be true!! Anyways, I was a little disppointed i couldn't get to wear a yukata this year as it was limited and i lost..:P However, I spent the entire day recording the event, so it was for the better! I must say this year was different from the last, the feelings and the atmospehere and everything. This year, we actually talked more with the teachers, in my case, mock their food on how bad it was, which was kind of true. Didn't get to socialize as much with the kohais as i hoped to. everyone was like missing. I was behind a video cam anyway, so it was pretty hard to dance and film at the same time!!
Dances were pretty fun and the performances were great! i liked the Old people dancing, really show class. Ok la.. my UTM friends did put a pretty heck of a show too:P but the 1st even stole the limelight! no offence:P Do i have more to say, probably not..
This whole week was a bunch of sucky bloody and killing tests.. gonna kill me in the future!!!!!!!!!!!! bluEks! but whatever, what's done is done and I better get on with my dull pathetic life, so i say..
anyways, next issue's preview, The Faders, yes, i'm going to see them on Sat even though I've not even heard any of their songs!! and Sushi making next week with a badminton competition! speech too? damn, another frustratingly killing week... tata..
