The every Wednesday of the third week of the month, Timeout KL presents On The Up, a music night at No Black Tie, in Jalan Mesui, next to Palate Palatte..
Again, some of us music lovers were there to support our local acts..All photos credits to David..
I must say that George is quite a talented composer, although most of the songs are very similar in terms of tunes and rhythms..
The only significant thing that differentiate the songs are the lyrics..Mostly emo songs..
The songs that he played that night were not bad, just that he screamed too much in his songs, although I must say that he controlled it very well..
Although it sounded loud, it didn’t really make my eardrums want to burst or whatsoever..
Perhaps he need to be more creative in his composing, instead of using the same tune for every song..
Then came second act of the night, Broken Scar..
*Broken Scar..Sorry don’t have a photo of the drummer*
Being a veteran in the music industry, Broken Scar definitely rocked the house down, with vocalist Kevin Teh showed a great showmanship..
The other members of Alda Tan on bass, Paul Chuah (of Qings & Kueens) on guitar, and Alex Ang on drums did a great job too..
They invited violinist, Rohnie Tan to perform with them too..He’s great too! The first time I saw him performed together with Rendra Zawawi..Great job!
*Wonderful showmanship by guitarist and vocalist, Kevin Teh*
I just can’t get enough of Broken Scar after that..They are simply awesome..
Then third act of the night, Izzy Mohamed..Seriously, I thought Izzy Mohamed is a guy, until I saw HER on the stage~!
*Izzy Mohamed*
Izzy was doing great too..Slow melodic tune and together with her collaboration of Alda on the bass (again), a drummer, and also a female pianist..Nice songs..
*Secret Love Affair*
Secret Love Affair plays music of rock fusion..Indeed, I was amazed by their performance..
It gave me a feeling of Jamiroquai fusioned with The Killers, where electronica jazz meets 70′s rock style..
I enjoyed myself with the last act but the vocals were simply plain and under par..They seriously have to improve on the lyrics part..
Overall I am really satisfied with all of the performances, quite a rare case..LOL..
Of course, I’m looking forward to another gig by Broken Scar and the likes from any other veterans..
Happy Chinese New Year to everyone FUUUUUUUUUUU~!!!*raise hands up in the air and profusely shaking crotch*
How’s your reunion dinner? How’s angpow collection?
My CNY Eve reunion dinner was great, but angpow collection rather quiet and slow this year..No motivation at all..
*9 dishes for about 10 people and we have 2 tables*
Had steamed fish, roasted duck, fried pork, steamed prawns, steamed white chicken, vegies, mutton curry, stewed mushrooms and pork, and fried prawns with vegies..All home made..
As most some of my friends already knew that I’m an avid gambler during CNY, and my blog gave an impression that I always go clubbing, it’s quite saddening, sometimes..
On the CNY Eve, I’ve texted most of the people in my phonebook a CNY greetings, wishing them win more if they are gambling and stay healthy if they are not gambling..
And so, some of the interesting replies that I received are..
This is one interesting one..Get laid more if I get drunk..Hmm..I wonder if I can get laid if I’m drunk coz usually when a guy is drunk, he’s not in the mood to get laid already..
*From Nuffie Wendy (Sorry lah..Handshake a bit >.<)*
This lagi cun..Happy chinese new year..Wish you everyday got human or cow milk to drink..Nicely said
Okay, once in a while I do bring luck to people okay..LOL~!!
Then came Day One..A quiet one..Got up at 12.30pm and didn’t do much things..Had lunch, rest, then proceeded to cousin’s house..
On Day One, the sky was so blue and nice..
*Blue blue sky*
*Sky high*
Well am not looking forward to angpow collection this year..Maybe I’m getting older already..I’m actually quite surprised how some people of my age still looking forward to that..
Whatever it is..Happy gambling and happy collecting angpoews
Okay, a bit of recap to continue my New Year’s Eve celebration..Yeah I know it’s like damn late as the Lunar New Year is already here..
Anyway, after half of the people got tipsy, we proceeded to celebrate Aaron’s birthday before the clock strikes 12-midnight to celebrate the New Year..
*Aaron’s birthday and the paparazzi*
That’s his birthday cake from Baker’s Cottage and I didn’t get to try it coz while everyone was eating the cake, I was busy eating KFC..LOL~!!
*Some of the people*
*Birthday boy make a Toyota wish*
Here’s a video that I’ve recorded during the birthday song and some crappy birthday bash..
The whole new Nokia 5800 Xpress Music was launched on 9th of January 2009, at Pavillion, Bukit Bintang..
A stage was being set up for performances and it was quite a hugegrand launching event..Media and bloggers were invited and it’s open for public..How’s that eh..
*The center-stage*
*Play, Share, Touch*
They even had a theme for attire and it was stripes, but I didn’t know about it..Oh well, a Nokia lanyard will do
