Last week's happenings...

Last week, as Raya Haji fell on a Friday, therefore there were many things had to be done like last min paperwork, meetings...& also not forgetting the many schedule reminders (basically, to remind me) on the upcoming week's projects and so forth. It's not like i'll easily forget to do things but sometimes, when i have so many to handle & think at the same time, i'll always leave out the little work that should be done (ex: getting signatures/put up photos/prepare & print letters...). You must think it's easy but it's not. Seriously, if only i have supersonic brain that remembers every little thing that has to be done quickly, i'll definitely be nominated as THE BEST EMPLOYEE EVERY YEAR!

Anyway, what i'm trying to say is that thanks to the many reminders in hand, thus things get to be done properly & also i get to enjoy doing other things. These were my last week's happenings, which i managed to put work aside awhile & have fun...

Laundry Green Day Out
19 November 2009

It was this event that Sahilah & i went to check Stoned Revivals performed. We met & hung out with Sahilah's friend, the drummer, Alang & the saxophonist, Jeff.

Based on the theme, Laundry was set up to a cheerful beach mood with decors on squarish green grass, beach chairs, yellow dimmed lights & sweet combination of green, brown & white colors. To add on the cheery surroundings, live unplugged, chilled out tunes were performed by local bands & performers.

Jeff, Sahilah, Alang & Me!

Muci's Birthday
21 November 2009

The night we celebrated Muci's birthday @ Piccadilly Restaurant located in PJ.


Blueberry Cheesecake

Dinner @ Frames TTDI
22 November 2009

A new place to eat, this time Mama & i ventured to a chic restaurant at TTDI Hills Plaza.

Frames, just the way the owner of the restaurant named it, literally put up frames of photographs around as the main interior decor. There were really some great & nice pictures to see & it's really eye catching.

Simplicity is the word to describe this eatery. Basic white walls-tables-&-chairs, black & white frames & white plates-cups-teapot-&-saucers. Very calming.

We shared our meals & we had lady grey tea with honey, lamb rack, aglio olio & tiramisu. The food was good & if you luv tiramisu like we do, then you should have a taste on this one. It's reaaaaaaaly good i tell you! The only thing was that it was quite small & rather pricey for a piece of cake.

Interview with SevenCollar T-Shirt
24 November 2009

Us girls with the band boys

Sahilah asked me to accompany her to do an interview with the local band, SevenCollar T-Shirt. She was preparing a newsletter, which will be out anytime soon now. I'm sharing her enthusiasm & can't wait to get hold of a copy!

She handled the interview well & it went pretty smoothly. Very well prepared & she did her homework. I was amused seeing her asking Qs while laughing, writing, scribbling, smiling, giggling, talking & fidgeting...as there were cats lying around & they seemed really into her during the interview. Haha...i mean i could not blame her for being that way because the cats were rather huge and big! The keeper who is also manager to the band really feed them well. Normal local cats turned to giant fatso cats! Meoooow...oh did i mention to you that he keeps 9 cats in the house? All more or less the same size, active & very very cute!!!

The best part of the whole interview session was when Sahilah gave me the cd. Given 3 different copies by the manager, she gave me the one in the pic above. If not mistaken,it's the latest album recorded and it's rather cool. I've never listened to their music before even though they've been in the music scene for some time now. Heard of them but never really hear them? hehe..but yea, i luv their songs. Wild Child & Fragile are interesting! =)

*Thanks babe!! Luv ya!!

Last but not least...

My life around instruments, music & the band

Usually either Friday or Saturday, we would practice and jam at Studio Akarkarya in DU, owned by Sheila Majid and husband, Acis. I luv the lighting and the whole set up of each studio. Being there makes me calm, relax and just happy. It has a warm feeling that sets me into the mood everytime i step into one of the studios.

I snapped this with the colour accent effect..
Anas! u shud try mastering that..best tau!

When i approached the boys for the very first time, face to face, i was terribly shy and can't even speak or sing properly. (Malu je) But i did it. I told myself that this is the one thing that i can and enjoy doing, so i have to get over and get rid of the one-teeny-meeny-problem-of mine..SHYNESS.. hehe. These boys are just so laid back and easy going, so being around them is not a problem for me and Phia. I hope they do too. *wink wink..

Now that we not only jam and practice at Studio Akarkarya, there is this open mic hut called Lepaq, a place where people can perform and just sing! hehehe..So i guess, tak sia-sia lah kalau people jam and they want to perform openly pulak then they can go there in Hartamas. hehehe..practise makes perfect they say. =)

Introducing my band members..

Fahmy-Bass..Ezani-Drums..Fairul-Guitar


Not forgetting Phia, who plays the keyboard
and Via? hehe...i am the vocalist. =)

I've never thought i would ever sing with a band or even thought of joining one. But i did and i am enjoying every jam session we have everytime we meet. Seriously...it's overwhelming and i've found the perfect way for me to express myself out loud. Sometimes i just surprise myself. Haha...I AM LOVING THIS A LOT! =D

Luv Luv
