Make more Promises.


One of the biggest tracks this summer was "Promises", from the ever-bliss female vocalist, Andain (Wikipedia HERE). If you're trying to remember who she is, she was the voice in Tiesto's Beautiful Things.

There were about 13 remixes (official) for this huge track, but I have narrowed it down to my top three. It's difficult to put it in particular order, but what I may be able to share with you is the mood that comes with the respective remixes.

1. Marco V Remix

First up, is the remix by my favourite tech-trance producer, Marco V (official website HERE).



When I first heard this remix, I was amazed by Marco's fine touch. I have to say, Marco V is probably the reason I started to listen to techno. I love it as it has a dark, edgy and melodic elements.

I've actually played this track in my Sinful Soul Mix Vol. 1, if I'm not mistaken in track number 5. You'll see at least four tracks are made/remixed by Marco, and in fact, this is my first ever Mixset and it's generally a tech-trance mixset. You can always have a listen to my Sinful Soul Mix Vol. 1 down here:




2. Myon & Shane 54 Summer of Love Mix

Myon & Shane 54 (official website HERE) are very famous with their "Summer of Love Mix" which is as you know, lovely and their "Triplet Monster Mix" which is as you know, monstrous.



This remix feels like summer full of love. I can imagine this track being played during an uplifting sets, it is really soothing and I can definitely imagine girls dancing sexily while singing along to it.


3. Gabriel & Dresden Remix

This duo (Wikipedia HERE) has been around since a decade ago, and after resting for few years, they decided to rock the dance world again.



Their remix of this track is tight with a darker feel, something I'd definitely play at 4 AM, you know, when you are ready to get dirty.

Other notable mentions are the ones from Nitrous Oxide, Soundprank and David Call.

Summer has ended, but not the smell and the sound of it. I am also blessed to live in a tropical, all-year-long summer and rain home.

What's your take?

Placebo: The Concert


And so I went to the Placebo: Live in Kuala Lumpur last month.


I reached there almost 9.00pm. There was a very long queue of people, waiting to get in the concert venue, KL Live.

I was thrilled to see Placebo performing, because I believe they make good music. Unbiased, I would say. And I got free tickets to, so double the joy.

Twilight ActionGirl just finished their set when I entered the hall.

It was jam-packed already

And then everyone were shouting and screaming and I see,

Up-close sikit

So I started to make my move forward,

Jalan raya penuh sesak

Getting closer

On the way, I saw Brian Molko's guitars (demmit!)

Until I was third row from the front

The keyboardist/violinist lady that made everything sounded way better

~We can build a new tomorrow, today...~

This is when everyone went crazy,

I was no exception

Wanna see how the crowds looked like?

Insane!

They say there's always light at the end of the show

No, we were not worshiping the Sun

How was I looked?

Lost few pounds on the sweats alone

And what was I wearing?

Puma x Alexander McQueen
Nudie Jeans "Average Joe"


The best gig of the year, so far.


Dem yuh!

Unconquerable, undefeated.


Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever God's may be
For my unconquerable soul.


In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.


Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.


It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley (1849 - 1903)


***


The poem is called Invictus, a Latin word that means "unconquerable, undefeated". This is a poem where the President of South Africa, The Honorable Nelson "Madiba" Mandela held on to, for 27 years of imprisonment at Robben Island.

Actually I saw the film "Invictus" last night. It was directed by a man who needs no further introduction in the film industry, Clint Eastwood. The film is based by the book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation by John Carlin.

This film is as inspirational as any inspiration could ever be. Gosh I can still feel the goosebumps, even greater than Barack Obama's Presidential Victory Speech in November 2008.

Please spare some time to watch this short documentary of Nelson Mandela during the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa.



The documentary was narrated by Morgan Freeman, and he eventually landed the role of Madiba himself in the film. Matt Damon played the role of Francois Pienaar, the captain of South Africa 'Springboks' rugby team that won the historical 1995 Rugby World Cup.

This is a film where you see, and you start to think how patriotic you are for your country, for your people. We should take learn many lessons from this film, as this is a film we should all see, and let other people see too; our people, our country, our nation, our 1Malaysia.

I thank whatever God's may be
For my unconquerable soul
.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul...

I will definitely gonna watch this film over and over again.


Dem yuh!

There's Something About... AVATAR.


I know this is rather late. But just read guys, it's different.

Last time I read about a month ago, while Avatar was hiking up at #4 for all-time worldwide box office with USD$1.02 billion, the film was not even screened in China, yet.
*Note: China has about 16,000 cinemas.

Now the film is at the top of the chart with USD$2.04 billion gross, exactly 100% more from last month, and counting. If we look at a simple math, cinemas in China contribute half of the ticket sales worldwide. Crazy, isn't it?

James Cameron, the man behind the film, made history with two of his films sitting on the reign of Top 5 All-Time Highest Grossing Films, respectively #2, and #1. Bloody hell. The last time he directed a studio film was the very jiwang-karat-tahap-Celine-Dion-punya-jiwang, Titanic. That was 1997, about what, 13 years ago?

How much you think he's getting from Titanic and Avatar each? If I'm being silly and say he gets 5% of the total gross for Titanic, and 10% for Avatar (he wrote the script and directed the film, plus he uses most of his resources - CGI lab, crews, blah blah blah), well, some math,

5% x USD1.8b = USD$90 million
+
10% x USD$2b = USD$200 million

=

USD$290 million


Simple math. Like I said, if I'm being silly and just picked some numbers from the air on how much money he's making. It's like,

hey bro, duit komisyen Titanic gua sudah mau kering lah. Gua nak kena buat filem lagi. Paiseh...


One simple question to all of you:

What would you do if you have USD$290 million?

How much is USD$290 million? Erkk, about RM1 billion ringgit.

I'm gonna start listing down yao!

*******

To those who are going crazy about Avatar, maybe you can birth your own so-called 'Avatar'. Watch this, it's a job well done.



*******


On a heavier note, read what Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad has to say about Avatar, and the conspiracy theories about September 11, 2001 Incident. You can also follow his blog HERE.


*******

Lastly, I can't help but to share something funny that I read from Hiddie's blog.


What do you think? Was it hard, or easy for James Cameron to come up with the talk-of-the-world Avatar?

"Good artists copy,
Great artists steal."
~Pablo Picasso

And if Picasso was still alive, what would he say about AVATAR?

I'm pretty damn sure he'd say,

Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten

So, it's the new decade already. 2010.

Ten years ago, I was 16 going on 17, the final year of my high school life. Sweet memories, as always.

However, we look back to our past, so that we know what have we missed, which turns have we wrongly made, what made us who we are now, and try and try and keep trying to be a better person as a whole.

There are so many quotes and sayings about "the past" which I am more than generous to share with you. Click HERE, and type "Past Quotes" in the Search Box, and there you go.

*******

I'm kinda satisfied with the lists. They were all not entirely that bad, personally. It's not easy to choose from thousands of lists and actually make sense to me. You see, those lists were selected based on my personal opinions from different sources, safe to say from trusted sources, hence I put the source link so that you guys can compare to your lists (if you have one), even better from other sources. Perbezaan itu hikmah. I have to agree that a few categories were slightly biased (if not more), but I couldn't find a better list to top the one that I posted. Nevertheless, it's a good sharing.

So what about the categories?

Again, I can easily picked any Top 10's of the decade, but I personally chose those nine categories (apart from the tenth) because that's what I enjoy in my life. Music, films, art, sneakers, women, fashion/trend, books, cars, and sports. I wanted to squeeze in another category, which is "Top 10 Holiday Spots of the Decade" but I have no idea. I'll just leave it at that for now.

So what about you guys? Do you have any lists of the decade?

Just on the lighter note, in honoring the title of this entry:

Mati hidup kembali.

Gua pun tak pasti sekarang ni gua dah semakin malas nak berfikir ataupun gua semakin malas nak berfikir.

Letih lah asyik nak berfikir.

Cuba lu orang baca tajuk entri gua. Mati hidup kembali. Apa kelancau tu? Itu tajuk lagu Butterfingers daripada album terbaru diaorang, Kembali. Senang saja cerita gua, gua nak post lagu ni kat sini, sebab gua rasa lagu ni bagus, meremang juga gua dengar lagu ni, dia ada spirit. Video dia memang sangat best lah, tak payah cerita, lu tengoklah sendiri!



Tapi tiba-tiba gua rasa macam nak sambung menulis pula. Tadi idea dah kering, sekarang macam ter-nostalgia pula teringat bibit-bibit intimasi gua dengan Butterfingers.

Butterfingers memang kenangan gua yang cukup klasik. Gua rasa selamat untuk mengaku yang Butterfingers merupakan pasukan pancaragam gitar berirama rosak yang gua paling suka. Kiranya nanti bila gua sudah jadi Top 40 Under 40, majalah Forbes atau Time interview gua, dia tanya, "Who are your all-time feveret music influence?" gua dengan selamba tutup mata sambil menguap depan laptop akan bisik, "Butterfingers."

Detik perkenalan gua: Mula-mula gua dengar band ni punya lagu masa gua Tingkatan 1 dulu. Masa tu siapa pun tak kenal band ni apa benda. Gua bukan mahu bongkak bro, sebab cousins gua yang bersama-sama menaikkan Butterfingers di awal percubaan diaorang membawa kelainan dalam industri musik. Cousins gua jugalah yang bawa poster "1.2 Milligrams" balik kampung masa malam Raya tahun 1996. Gua tengok, poster warna purple, ada tulis "Selamat Hari Raya" dan siap ada signature dari Loque, Emmet, Kadak dan Kalai. Gua memang haram tak tahu apa masa tu, gua masih dengar Di Alam Fana Cinta (gua tak ingat band apa ni). Itu jam memang tak teruja langsung dengan Butterfingers. Nama band dah macam makanan bijirin sarapan. Ye lah, macam Honey Stars, Koko Crunch, Butterfingers. Kan? Kan?

Masa tu gua di Tingkatan 1. Gua dapat masuk asrama, macam bagus lah. Gua pun bawalah kaset Butterfingers ni balik asrama, bajet nak layan pakai walkman masa nak tidur (kan gua dah cakap itu jam gua layan di alam fana cintaaaaa, engkau pula berdustaaaa....). Tup tup gua pasang, mak aih ini dah macam Nirvana ni. Hampeh!

Tapi gua layankan juga. Habis satu album. Gua tiba-tiba rasa macam terbuka minda. Gua tiba-tiba juga rasa lagu di alam fana cintaaa, engkau pula berdustaaa tu dah macam lagu Kain Pelikat nyanyian Anuar (baru sekarang saja dia letak 'Zain' kat belakang nama dia, tumpang populariti kakak dia lah kononnya). Tidakkk!

Gua pun share lah kaset ni dengan kawan-kawan geng jamming gua. Hasilnya? Sampai jahanam kaset gua semua orang pinjam. Lahanat semua kedekut taknak beli kaset baru. Tapi gua puas hati. Gua sangat puas hati walaupun kaset gua rosak, tapi fenomena Butterfingers telah menyebabkan ramai budak kat asrama gua yang tangan bangku mula menyertai revolusi bermain gitar. Walaupun mereka ini mula belajar main gitar lagu Korie & Ella - Pergilah Sayang (lagu standard bagi tangan-tangan bangku sekalian), mereka ini sebenarnya secara tidak langsung ter-inspirasi daripada gelombang Butterfingers. Nak mula belajar dengan lagu Butterfingers memang nak mampus lah. Susah bai. Gua? Gua punya first song belajar gitar lagu Hotel California bai, mana main lagu Korie, gua standard world class, tak boleh kalah. Susah memang susah sampai terleleh airmata nak memicit kord-kord tu. Tapi sekali-sekala pergi karaoke gua belasah juga lagu Pergilah Sayang tu. Biasalah, hati kaca.

Nak dipendekkan cerita (sebab kalau gua nak tulis sampai habis kisah intimasi gua dengan Butterfingers memang melalut sampai ke laut nanti, macam tengok budak-budak Malaysia main bolasepak) sepanjang karier Butterfingers, apa yang gua nampak ialah proses kematangan mereka membikin musik. Daripada 1.2 Milligrams, Butter Worth Pushful, Trancendence, Malayneum, Selamat Tinggal Dunia dan Kembali, serta empat album kompilasi kalau gua tak salah, Butterfingers sememangnya sebuah band legend yang peminat-peminat lagu rock dan indie kenal sebagai Butter sound.

Kalau nak tahu sikit-sikit lagi pasal Butterfingers, moh kita Wiki depa. Klik SINI.

Malas gua nak letak gambar. Cari sendiri.

*******
Who are your all-time feveret music influence?

Butterfingers.


Padu!

Heart Complication

No, no one is dying or being admitted or anything. All is well.

I wanted to write about something rather interesting.


It's about a book.

Guess if the person on the cover is me?

It's called Komplikasi Hati by cikbubi.

What's cooking about this book? You really wanna know? Alright. The book is about ME. I'm not joking.

I received this book from the author which I met a few weeks ago, and I read it.

It was written based on a true story of me, well at least from the author's side of understanding because obviously I have my own side of story. To be more precise, it's about a girl and I, and a love affair that went on for about six months until I realized it's not working out, and everything became bitter for her after that. Basically it's journal kinda novel.

I feel flattered. I do. I don't really bother if it's written about me in a good or the opposite way, obviously because I have my own side of story. I mean, the author could be wrong all over, but that's not the point. My point is, what are the chances of someone writes about you, and publish it? A book.

To cikbubi, thank you very much for spending time compiling and writing, and eventually published it. I am so sorry it didn't work out between us. Such is life.


I'll not curse on my book.

Rokkit!

I was cleaning up my room the other day, and found a treasure.


My OBEY PROPAGANDA jeans!

This is I would say one of the early stuff I bought on my own when I first started the whole street-wear thing. I think it was around 2002 or 2003. Can't really remember, time flies.

Yes of course I had Levi's and all that mainstream craps before that, but this particular pair of jeans did change my perspective of styling and sense of exclusivity.

I bought them from shit-I-can't-remember-the-shop-name. Owh yes, Zone5 at Sg. Wang Plaza! Yes finally I remember. I remember, when I first had it tried, I was kinda confused or rather uncomfortable, the length of the jeans were just at the bottom of my heel. Like, short? But the material and the texture of the jeans were awesome so I thought,"Hey what the hell, right?" and ended up being one of my most-favourite jeans, all-time.

Au naturale

You can see how trashed this fella looks now, after thousand times of wearing and washing, under every possible weather and condition.

I don't have the picture of it at the early age, so I'll just let you guys enjoy the result after about 6-7 years.

From dark blue to I-don't-know-what-color-is-this

Yeah he traveled A LOT

Still standing strong!

Guys, please wear your stuff until it can't be worn anymore. Jeans and shoes are not for display or trophies. Just wear.

Albino Pigeon is coming to town!

Last year, 2008, marked the release of New Balance 575 "Purple Pigeon". It created so much hype as Jeff Staple, the main brain behind Staple Design who designed the shoe cleverly use PIGEON as his marketing tool. New York = Pigeon. Really?

Hi, my name is Jeff C. Ng. Call me Mr. Staple

The New Yorkers love us now even if we be shitting on them everyday

I didn't buy it, though I kinda like the color combination and the materials used on that pair. I still can get it still, there's some resellers who I can talk to and persuade to sell to me at a good price. We'll see, Hari Raya Aidilfitri is coming soon after all.

This year, Jeff is coming back with the "ever-creative, out-of-the-box, hypebeast-mentality, over-used idea" of making more money without even have to think too much. I admire that, to be honest. And I don't know why people are rambling about the hardships of making easy money. Nonsensical ignorant.

"As you can see, so much effort and creativity were put in designing this pair of shoes which I can humbly say a 'breakthrough' in sneakers industry........... (I'm a few million dollars richer next week!)"

What did he came up with? Rarer pigeon, or very rare species of animal in general, of genetically mutated. Albino. Yes, albino pigeon. Well, he called them the "White Pigeon" but it's not gonna change the fact that these unfortunate pigeons are albinos.

At last, we've got our freedom and equality among pigeons!

Same model (New Balance 575), probably same materials, and a lot of hard work to choose the best color and sell 1,077 pairs (with I'm sure there another couple of thousands in their store, marked as 'samples' or 'for Friends & Family' or 'I wanna make more money, so what?!')

Actually, Nike was the first
to get their hands into this pigeon craze with their own Nike Dunk SB x Staple Design "Purple Pigeon" or "New York SB", as we knew caused a stir in New York upon its release in 2007. Yes, pimps and gangstas fought over a few pairs of shoes. I heard there were 200++ pairs released, but again, who knows?

I don't know pigeons and their shits worth this much

OG? You kiddin' me?

Anyhow, our good friends at SOLE WHAT? are really generous and fortunate to have the opportunity to release these 'physically-challenged' pigeons to our beloved Kuala Lumpur. Seriously, SOLE WHAT? is one of the leading sneaker stores in South East Asia region. Big ups to the cool dudes/dudette there.

One big happy family

Yes, they will be releasing the New Balance 575 x Staple Design "Albino/White Pigeon" this weekend, if I'm not mistaken. For more info, you can check the details from their official blog. Click SOLE WHAT?

I kinda like this pair too, you know. Feels like I'm 'whiter' if I wear them. We all wanna be WHITE, don't we?

Dem yuh!

Soul in Asylum

No, not the Band.

I'm not proud to tell you guys that I just watched the film Changeling, starring Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan and the others. Well, of course there's "others", they can't be three actors only in a movie. Anyway, it's never too late for anything, you just have to do it.


That film. Wow, I would say. One very fine film. It was based on true story about a lady, Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) who suddenly found her son, Walter is missing after she came back home from work. Then blah blah blah long story about two hours. There's a very interesting story in it.

The interesting part in that movie: when Christine was sent to psychopathic ward by the order from Captain Jones (Donovan).

Shit man that plot is really an eye-opener. Imagine this scenario:

Something happens to you. Say, your son is missing. After a few months, the police tells you that they found your son and is on the way back to you. Your heart are filled with blossoming joy, only to realize that he's not your son. It gets more complicated and confusing when the boy claims he is your son and the police says he's yours too. They insist/force you to take that boy home "on a trial basis", meaning to get you and the boy used to it and it may help build the bond again. Like, WTF?

You, as a father or mother, should be very sure if the boy is or not yours, more to evidences like your "new son" is shorter by four inches than last few months, and is circumcised. Scary shit.

When you go to the police, telling them they made a mistake, the police tells you that you are delusional, or crazy. You get upset, you yell to them out of frustration and the police sends you to mental institution. Thing is, you are perfectly normal, and that boy is not your son anyway. WTF times two.



Now, the more interesting part: The Mental Institution.

Shit man if you're being sent to that place, you'll go crazy anyway. I mean, it's so depressing that place is; if you laugh or smile or joyous they'll say you are delusional or schizophrenic, if you don't eat of scream or cry they'll say you are hysteric and depressed. Either way you are crazy. They force you to take pills that claimed to "make you relax and calm" actually those pills reduces your ability to think or act because they want to tame you and make you more stupid, so that you won't do anything stupid and keep them busy.

The only way you can get out of that place is to sign a paper which you have to admit that the boy IS YOUR SON and you're not thinking straight and it was your mistake. Fucked up, right? How the fuck can you admit to that, when he's NOT YOUR SON?! And when you starts to act aggressively, they send you to this horrible room where they will do some electric-shock procedure on you so that you won't do it again, as a lesson.

If, you decides to sign the paper just to get out of that hell because you think you can go and report it to the newspaper or anyone, think again. No one would actually believe you because you've signed the paper and they'll think you're really crazy. Then you'll be fucked up, and thrown into that hell again, this time you might stuck there for a long, long, long time, if not until you are dead. Otherwise you sign the paper, get out and live a lie, with your fake son and pretend nothing happened.

How terrible is that? Suddenly it reminds me of how we're living now. How the country, the world is being ruled by these moronic, corrupted, deceiving fascists that tells us this is how you will live your lives and you can't question us, we're the one who decides on how you should live and to be the law, we have to be above the law bullshits. Fuck man, just because you didn't do your work, you don't wanna admit your mistakeS (with big S meaning they're a bunch of aSSholeS), you hide the truth and nothing else matters to you as long as you can be re-elected on the next campaign.

A pick of your soul

Don't let people tell you what to do and how you should live your life. Don't let people own your soul for a temporary happiness or pleasure. Please don't let other people hold your freedom to do what you want to do. No one is better than the others, only your faith to God.

Ladies and gentlemen, please, PLEASE, do not let your soul jailed and locked in asylum.


Dem yuh!

Malaysia: Short + Sweet

No no no I'm not gonna fucking start on 1Malaysia or Malaysia Boleh(blah!) or anything related to that. Bollock doctrins!

Well last Saturday night I went to KLPac for Short & Sweet Malaysia 2009. What is that? Google you fucking ignorant!

Happened to know that a few of my friends are involved (shout out to the awesome Syatirah Syafran!), and my cousin Jojo (I'm all about cousins and family, yeah) gave me some complimentary tickets. Well, not that I don't wanna pay or anything, but we're involved in this event as well so I think we deserved a few comps, no?

Anyway, reached the place a bit late, 9-ish. Goddamn traffics. Show started already. I went in on the fourth play. Not foreplay. I wished.

Overall it was really nice. It's short about 10 minutes for each play, and there were 10 plays in total. And it's sweet.

Good thing about this theater is that, especially this particular show, they have 10 plays with different directions, different feelings and different-different lah! One time you laugh, the next you think, next play you sad, next you laugh and cry, next you angry, you know. It's beautiful, how people interpret and deliver an idea, provoke thoughts, and whatnot.

I'm not too deep to talk about this, but all in all, I enjoyed it very much.

I'm looking forward to the Week 2 show this Saturday.

Short & Sweet should not be, in any way, associated with MAN. We hate those two words!

Cinta baru gua.

Gua sekarang tak tahu lah apa pasal, tapi seminggu tak jumpa mesti rindu lain macam. Hubungan agak aneh ni baru saja lagi berputik, baru tiga minggu itu macam. Susah gua nak predict masa depan hubungan ni, bukan apa nanti kalau gua beriya-iya sangat nanti tak menjadi pula.

Gua cuba maintain at least dua kali seminggu lah gua punya komitmen. Selalu gua jumpa dia Isnin dengan Rabu dalam jam 12 tengah malam macam tu. Tak lama, sampai lah sekitar jam 2 pagi. Cukuplah, gua tak mahu terlalu lama nanti cepat bosan.

Tempat pertemuan ada satu saja. Dekat situlah kitaorang jumpa setiap kali pun. Nak kata best, tak ada lah best sangat tempat tu. Ramai juga orang menyemak kat situ. Tapi siapa yang kenal gua, mesti diaorang tahu yang gua ni komited. Gua tak kisah orang keliling nak cakap atau nak buat apa; nak gelak ke, nak jeling ke, nak menyalak pun gua tarahal, malah dialu-alukan. Bagi gua, itu semua tak penting. Yang penting gua dan si Dia dapat bersama, walaupun beberapa jam. Itu sudah cukup. Siapa kata gua demand lebih? Ish.. Mana ada. Tak baik tuduh orang yang bukan-bukan. Dosa.

Walau apa pun, gua semakin sihat dan gembira, sebab gua sudah ada cinta baru. Terima kasih saudara-saudari serta kawan-kawan dan sahabat handai kerana memperkenalkan gua kepada si Dia.

Cinta baru gua. Terbaik tak? Memang gua belasah dua bungkus tiap-tiap kali. Rakus.

Kalau lu orang nak try, pergi lah sana Medan Selera Jalan 223, PJ. Memang mantap. Sup kambing mamak sireh pun ada tapi gua taknak lah bercinta dengan kambing atau dengan mamak sireh tu. Otak-otak pun ada, kalau rasa otak lu tak berfungsi dengan lancar lu makan lah. Paling layan lu beli kat kedai 58 (kod rahsia).

*note on Otak-Otak: The food is so nice, they had to name it twice.

Dem yuh!

Rocked.

I just got back from ROCKAWAY 2009.

Didn't bring my digicam, as I thought many would write about it. But the main reason is, if you fuckers wasn't there just now, too bad you just missed one of the best rock show ever organised. And if you did read my preview of the gig HERE and still didn't go because you think it's just another stupid gigs, seriously it's a major loss. Unless you layan Shah Indrawan bin Ismail or Khairil Azam bin Pilus which is a shame on you.

Thanks to One Buck Short and friends. It was a well-organised gig, many kids turned out and STAYED until 11-fucking-p.m to the last beat of the drums. I feel young again, for once (apart from having Aydan in my life now ha ha ha).

And as usual, I cramped my legs I don't have to explain why.

My date for the day

Okay, time to wash the sweaty clothes.

Taurus: The Astrological Delineations


Last month was my birthday. I can't tell you guys the number but I know you can already guess it. Yes it's 21. I'm cute, right?

Anyway I don't wish to extend my narcissism. I am going to share with you about Taurus. Yes, my zodiac. I got this from I don't remember where but this is just to share to you, an insight of me, or any Taurean for that matter. We can't say it's true but that's for God to know and for us to find out.

Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac. The delineations of the sun, moon, ascendant, the inner planets and the 12 houses in Taurus, are analyzed.

The bull, a symbol of strength, tenacity and power, represents Taurus. A bull’s head with horns is the glyph for Taurus. Taurus is an earth sign. Its ruling planet is Venus.


The Sun in Taurus

The sun in Taurus usually occurs between April 20th and May 20th. One of the main characteristics of this sign is its dependability. All Taureans to some extent will show this trait. Traditional and steadfast in their beliefs, Taureans may appear to many as being stubborn. Much of this comes from the need to be secure. This security is a main driving force for this sign. Sensual in nature, the natives of Taurus enjoy not only physical pleasures, but also anything that can be stimulating to their senses. They are somewhat possessive, and tend to like to own things.


The Moon in Taurus

Those with the moon in Taurus tend to be sentimental, warm, romantic and steadfast in their relationships. They tend to avoid messy routines and emotions and crave emotional and physical security. Not risk takers; Taureans tend to think about things very carefully before implementing change. Taureans have reliable instincts, especially tied to the material world. Stability makes them slaves to their routines.


The Ascendant in Taurus
Slow and steady defines the Taurus Ascendant. They are fixed in their ways and resistant to change. They are cautious and careful and at times seem inflexible and stubborn. These people tend to be extremely loyal in their friendships and relationships, not easily swayed to leave. They view their partners as possessions and, as a result, give the misconception that they are jealous. The Taurus Ascendant natives tend to be “pack rats” and collect everything and tend to be self-indulgent with the good things in life.


The Inner Planets

* People with their Mercury in Taurus rely on their senses to make decisions. They are decisive with their decisions and think things through very carefully. They are capable of seeing projects through.
* People with their Venus in Taurus love sensual surroundings. Predictability and dependability in relationships is needed. They are possessive in love and need a loyal partner.
* People with their Mars in Taurus are goal-oriented plodders who have tremendous staying power. Strength and stability are displayed. They are sensual and hard working.


The Houses

* To see Taurus on the cusp of the first house see the Ascendant
* To see Taurus on the cusp of the second house denotes the ability to earn money as well as being able to spend wastefully on luxuries.
* To see Taurus on the cusp of the third house shows thinking based on money-making ideas.
* To see Taurus on the cusp of the fourth house shows a desire for an elegant home.
* To see Taurus on the cusp of the fifth house denotes natives who are sensual, romantic and have a great love for their children and family.
* Natives with Taurus on the cusp of the sixth house are practical and excel at artistic projects.
* Taurus on the cusp of the seventh house tends to attract wealthy partners with the tendency to spend lavishly on them as well.
* Taurus on the cusp of the eighth house can produce natives that overspend on the beautiful things in life, yet have an uncanny ability to generate income from unknown sources.
* Taurus on the cusp of the ninth house shows natives that are just in the handling of finances and relationships.
* Natives with tenth house on the cusp of Taurus desire wealth and fame.
* A native with the eleventh house in Taurus attracts artistic, wealthy and stable friends.
* Taurus on the twelfth house shows natives that resist change and are affected by past situations and conditions.

In conclusion, Taurus have equally strengths and weaknesses. Please have a better understanding of us and we will definitely be happy to try to understand you.
