OK.. I wanna talk abt a damn sensitive issue..
But this is a damn boring and long issue too.. so for those who are not into longwinded and whiny entries, click on the X at the top right hand corner of ur window..
I just need to whine, as usual.. and I have not blogged for a long time coz I didnt have anything to whine abt..
but before I go on.. lemme just say that itz not about race. itz not abt discrimination of ppl who come from any particular country. itz just abt attitude of some of those who came here.. and those who had been here..
If this can piss the authorities off, i'd suggest that they take a hard look at the situation with an angle of view coming from a minority layman.. i'm not trying to stir the hornets' nest here but just hoping that it can be an eye opener to whoever who have the capabilities to make a change.
Recently, there had been a spate of letters in the papers regarding the employment of foreign workers here.. from domestic helpers to expatriates..
Singapore had been having foreign workers as long as we had been in existence.. in fact, besides the Malays, all the rest of our ancestors are foreigners who had localised themselves thru the hundred years or so..
There had always been a social stigma and stereotyping of foreigners here..
Filipinas and Indonesians and Sri Langkans are maids.
Filipinos are musicians.
Thai males are construction workers
Thai females are formerly males
Indians are software engineers
Bangladeshis do everything that everyone else dont want to do..
Ang Mohs are good looking
Ang Mohs are smarter than we are
Ang Mohs are superior beings
Ang Mohs can fly, run faster than a train and wear their underwear outside.
China ppl play ping pong
and so on and so forth..
but of course.. there are Filipinas who are company directors, Indonesian tai tais, Filipino engineers, Indian contract workers, Bangladeshi supermodels, China nationals who works at coffee bean and Ang Mohs who are jobless and pretend to be handicapped and rent their maids out to others.
but we still stereotype.. and we look at the bad side of any given race except for the Ang Mohs..
There was a guy who wrote to the papers citing that when he was working in Australia, he was warmly welcomed and was wondering why Singaporeans treat foreign workers differently..
and i'm pretty sure that he was NOT referring to our Bangladeshi friends who help make Singapore move so precisely like the ticking of a damn expensive rolex watch..
He might be referring to why we cant accept our China national friends who work at coffee bean and cant speak English and the Ang Mohs who are the expatriate bosses of the expensive investment companies..
or maybe he wasnt..
But are we really that transparent that we dont look thru races as differences?
dont get me wrong.. I love the diversity of races that we have here and I dont have problems with foreigners as much as I have problems with the locals.. different ppl of different colours make up an interesting world as long as we dont succumb to supremacists..
again, as I had alwayssssssss mentioned, i'm an Indian man with a Chinese paternal grandmother and I have a lot of Malay friends..
so I'm really quite indifferent abt skin color as long as they are not green and with antennas on top of their heads..
but Singaporeans are not really color blind.. if the Government have not stopped companies from recruiting Chinese and Mandarin speaking ONLY candidates for jobs, Malays will all become footballers and chauffeurs and Indians become condominum security guards..
but thankfully the authorities had put a stop to it and now we all can sit in offices to work for our Ang Moh bosses..
Even then, still some places are openly racist abt job candidates..
Yesterday, while walking around Eastpoint in Simei, I spotted a shop that was looking for shop assistants, and the candidate must be able to converse with Chinese customers..
So what happens if a Non-English speaking Chinese national apply for the job?
might as well put my picture outside the shop and write NO INDIAN CUSTOMERS ALLOWED
coz i'm sure as hell I cant understand Mandarin except for wo pu che tao.
Recently, while at Coffee Bean in Forum Galleria, I was ordering some drinks and wanted to borrow a pair of scissors from the girl at the counter who was taking my order, to cut a packaging from something I just bought..
she went.. huh?
I went again.. can I borrow a pair of scissors?
huh?
sccciissooorss.. and I made a cutting motion with my two fingers..
and she asked me in Chinese whether can I speak Mandarin..
what the hell?!
I assumed that that was the question coz she said something that ends in Hua Yi and I'm pretty sure she wasnt talking abt a secondary school..
I'm an Indian man, for goodness sake.. and we are in Singapore.. I would understand that the situation would warrant it if I am in Shanghai or Beijing.. but here? in Singapore? where I had been living for the past 35 years and have a perfect Singaporean slang.. I'm expected to speak Mandarin?
I dont really care if she cant understand Singaporean accents coz she must... if I am working in New York and I cant understand the New Yorkers heavy accent, should I ask them to speak in Malay coz thatz the only other language that I know?
ok.. so now.. what would happen if I go down to the shop in Simei and wanted to buy something? and I dont speak Mandarin.. hmm.. an outcast in my own country.. dammit.. now I feel so foreign..
or issit a must now that I do learn Mandarin? what if I dont wish to? isnt it my personal rights NOT to learn to speak Mandarin?
or maybe coz itz HER personal right not to want to learn to speak English in Singapore..
My mom related to me once before abt an incident before at her old workplace where a Chinese man called in and spoke in Mandarin..
She asked him to speak in English coz she didnt understand him.. and itz not like as if he couldnt speak English.. coz he went like this..
"Why you dont know how to speak Chinese? you are in Singapore. the Government wants you to speak Mandarin"
She replied.. "no.. thatz only for the Chinese who speaks so many other different dialects. in Singapore we speak English"
and he insisted and got frustrated and asked to speak to her supervisor to complain abt her not being able to speak Mandarin.. so my mom had to transfer his call to herself.
The poor Indian woman had to be harrased by an a sub-intelligent human.
Several months ago, there had been several cases of road accidents involving Chinese nationals who got hit while crossing roads and The New Paper published their sad story abt how they came to Singapore in search of a dream and got it all shattered in the middle of the road..
I do feel sad for them.. but they should have been educated more abt how we are in Singapore..
WE HAVE TRAFFIC RULES.
Which is unfortunate for those who came from China coz the pedestrians dont comprehend the meaning of RULES.
If any of u had the chance to go to China, please do find out for urselves..
If u cant go to China, take a slow drive in the evenings at the junction of Upper Changi Road East and TPE, leading towards Tampines and see the number of Chinese workers cycling along the expressway..
I hereby suggest that foreigners who come to Singapore must be educated in our traffic rules, especially those concerning pedestrian crossings.
Those who intend to work here must be educated in our spoken English and understand that Mandarin is *NOT* the national language.
And btw, my beloved grandmother was a China-born Chinese. and she's VERY Chinese and she didnt get hit by cars.
She died of old age.
My condolences to the family of the dead China nationals but to prevent further accidents, do not cross the road while a vehicle is approaching towards ur direction, even though u might assume that the vehicle have brakes.
now come the Ang Mohs..
i'm not an anti-SPG or anti Ang Mohs coz when they marry our local girls, they produce Pan-Asian supermodels that we can be proud of.
an Ang Moh friend of mine used to say that he loves being in Singapore coz of the preferential treatment that he gets here and in surrounding Asian countries coz we treat the Ang Mohs like kings.. we cant really blame them for liking it coz if u have a privilege, u'ld take it right?
so blame who?
Ourselves lor..
or if u dont want to blame urself for putting them on such high pedestals, dont whine when they take ur girlfriends away.
I have to reiterate the fact that I am neither xenophobic or racist, but merely stating an opinion. and if God had created so many races, who are we to hate them?
letz whine abt something else.. some geeky stuffs..
HP.
I sent my laptop for repair in late October coz it just konked out on me one day..
Waited for 8 days and still no call from them to even give me a quotation. So I called them..
Took another 3 days for the engineer/technician/whoever-the-servicing-fella-might-be to call me and gave me a quotation..
Took them abt 3 weeks to change a stupid motherboard..
they waived a $95 service charge coz I told them that their service sucks so they shouldnt charge for it..
All the 4 ppl who attended to me at the HP Service Centre were abrupt and unfriendly, even though they had a poster stating that if we catch them unsmiling while attending to us, we'll get a surprise gift.. but looking at the faces of those unfriendly ppl.. i'm almost pretty sure that the gift can surprisingly explode and their mission was to kill their customers.
so of course, being me, I told them that they should remove the posters.
But being them, they didnt understand sacarsms..
After making a complaint to the SERVICE QUALITY girl, she told me that she takes it VERY seriously and she will look into it and will email me within 3 days. even after I told her that I cant be bothered abt the reason behind the stupid delays as long as I get back my laptop, she insisted that "it's her job and she will definitely investigate and get back to me by monday"..
hah!
it had been TWO FREAKING WEEKS AND STILL NOTHING.
so apparently, complaints that goes thru to the HP SQU are taken VERY VERY LIGHTLY and they might be sitting inside the office laughing their asses off talking abt how crappy the complaints that their customers have..
Service Quality... but they didnt say Good Quality or Bad Quality..
so in that sense, they are not really wrong. It's just me being petty. They were merely trying to upkeep Bad Quality Service.
poor HP people.
And when I brought back the laptop with the change of motherboard, the DVD drive couldnt be detected even though it can be physically accessed (open/close/read) .. and the CMOS does not include an option for the IDE settings so the DVD was listed as Unknown Hard Drive in Windows..
So it was obvious that the drive was not set to be auto detected in the CMOS and we cant change it.
And for two weeks I had to bear with it till I had the time to go back to HP Service Centre and met up with another SQU fella.. or rather.. SQU SPECIALIST by the name of Haizam.. and the girl who attended to me was mysteriously missing even though my case sheet had her name on it..
My unit was sent in again and a few hours later an engineer/technician/whoever-the-servicing-fella-might-be called me and told me that my DVD drive had always been working and suggested that they could FORMAT my hard drive for me..
FORMAT MY HARD DRIVE FOR WHAT?!
Stupid fella.. I asked u to just set the CMOS setting and u want to format the drive and talked to me like as if I am so stupid.. I could just hit his stupid head with a book full of 8086 instruction codes.
Aiya.. u think I dunno that u had set the IDE settings before calling me meh?
HP SERVICE SUCKS BIG TIME.
Next time I'll buy a Mac.
yeah.
right.
ok.. end of whining..
now letz talk abt the good times.. :)
things are almost all prepared for the wedding.. and now we hear bad reviews abt the wedding planner at Lagun Sari..
dammit.
time to take out my whip to whip anyone who screw up my wedding plans..
3 weeks to go before we become legal. and itz so seriously exciting.. things between me and my wife-in-3-weeks-time is fantastic and now the stress of planning for a honeymoon.. met the Mak Andam to choose the costumes that we want and finally managed to get for her bridal gowns that are beautiful.. so we can forgo the one given by the Mak Andam contracted by Lagun Sari..
and seriously serious.. she look gorgeous in those gowns..
but then again, she always look gorgeous.
I love you, Nur Zahirah.

It had been a looonngg time..
Yepz.. too long.. almost a year since I last blogged that I almost forgot how to do it..
a lot have changed. and a lot have not.
I'm still engaged. Sadly.. coz it feels too long.. Counting down the days to the wedding..
I WANNA BE MARRIED.
For a man who refused matrimony.. yepz.. the irony.. coz I ate my own words in the end..
a month to go then she'll be my wife.
Seriously.. for those of u who think u know me and for those who thinks that itz just another mushy entry by another fella.. lemme tell u that as much as I love being engaged, I do wanna get married.. for real.
when u find that someone, it just works..
Sure.. we do have our share of arguments... but itz not that much, itz not long and never serious.
the kissing and making up is always beautiful.
I had never been so much in love.. and this time, I would never get out of love.
For you, my beautiful wife-to-be-in-a-month-time, I promise you that I will take care of you and love you forever.
I had never wanted to be married.. never believed in matrimony, never wanted anyone too close to me.
but I proposed to you several days after we met.
and it had been more than a year now, and if I have a chance to rethink abt my decision to have you as my wife, I would not even need think twice..
of course, she's beautiful.. for those who thinks that she's not, please.. take ur sour grapes and envy elsewhere and eat them privately.. but therez more to her than just her beauty.. she's the most wonderful person who had ever entered my life.. and I'm not saying it coz she's reading it..
I have a choice to leave if I want to throughout the entire engagement coz we had been engaged for almost a year. She have the choice to leave if she wanted to.
But after 11 1/2 months of engagement, I have to admit that I'm totally in love, and having the time of my life.. Our relationship is like a permanent date. especially now coz her exams are over.. we can spend our time on my off days just relaxing and enjoying ourselves..
and in a month time, we can start our date when we open our eyes in the morning..
We had remained together thru the 11 1/2 months without any problems. maybe some ppl might think that u need challenges in a relationship to test it.. but who cares abt testing and if u think u need challenges in a relationship, have it in ur own.. ours is nicely untested and we dont wish to test it and we are satisfied with the way it is, thank you..
Hopefully, after the wedding we gonna start making babies.. if I am not shooting blanks..
but of course.. some ppl speculated that she's pregnant.. and thatz one of the two reasons why I wanted the engagement to be for a year.. the other was for the fact that we wanted her to complete her exams first..
For those friends of mine who had been influenced by my negative thoughts abt marriage.. ermz.. sorry ah.. itz really nice being engaged and I'm really looking forward for a beautiful marriage.. so those of u who had been influenced, go get married.
I had promised her a proper engagement ceremony - done.
I promised her a proper engagement - done.
I promised her a proper dowry - done.
I promised her a proper wedding - on the way.. we are just completing the little details now.
and I promised her a proper marriage and a proper family..
For you, my beautiful wife-to-be-in-a-month-time, I do promise you that.
It had been 9 months since I quit smoking.. something that I never thought I would do.. being a heavy smoker who had been smoking for the past 24 years.. and after 9 months.. I had lost all cravings for it..
I do think abt smoking once in a while.. but just thinking.. thatz it.. not wanting it.. I never want to restart smoking.. and thatz for my beautiful bride. she's the reason why I quit and I dont regret it.
For you, my beautiful wife, I love you.
I'm sending out my invitations soon. If you have not heard from me, please email me.
If I dont respond, it means that u are not invited.
ok.. anyway.. the rest of the previous entries are not gonna be published till it had been edited to a point that my kids can read it. so for the upcoming entries, therez not gonna be vulgarities or negative influences.
ok.. now for the current events..
like everyone else.. letz talk abt the top PSLE student.. the girl with the stailo milo name..
I'm proud of her..
coz her mother was a stewardess. yey.
But she's malay.. and suddenly, coz of her, everyone is claiming to be malays.
ermz.. those ppl whom when I gave them the dayung sampan joke* started to tell me all kind of family history that deny them from being pure malays.. those like.. my dad was an indian, my grandmother is a russian, my mom is javanese, I'm indonesian kinda shit.
some really wak kang faced ppl even claim to be of Dutch origin tau.. mana tah datang tu Dutch..
* (courtesy of an arab friend of mine whoz name shall not be mentioned so he dont get killed by the malays who have the capabilities to run amok)
BTW.. if u are an Indonesian or Javanese or Boyanese or Bugis or whatever, it means that u are a Malay. Coz ur heritage comes within the malay archipelago.
And I'm marrying a hindustani.
Hindustani tau.. tu pasal dia jambu.
A top PSLE student being Malay does not make all Malays smart.. and coz u guys suddenly claim to be Malays now does not make u Natasha Nabila..
releks dok.. lu masih boleh lepak.. takde orang paksa korang blajar.
somehow, the Malays have another hobby besides claiming to be Natasha Nabila.. besides Tammy.. I think most of the 3gp local porn videos are from mats and minahs..
kesian papa.. papa jahat sangat tu..
so the malays still got a lot more to prove.. either u should prevent the mats and minahs from distributing their homemade toilet gangbang videos or u should start making them speak english in those upcoming episodes so it'll be harder to distinguish..
whatever it is.. papa masih jahat tau..
a lot have changed. and a lot have not.
I'm still engaged. Sadly.. coz it feels too long.. Counting down the days to the wedding..

Restart
ok.. my hands shivered coz I didnt blog.. but then again.. I dont think I shall be blogging often.. just as and when I feel like it..
time to update abt my life..
I'm happily engaged now.. to the most beautiful girl in the world, Nur Zahirah..
and not only she's beautiful.. SHE'S INDIAN!
yeyness..
and for those who have read my previous postings abt my views abt life and marriages.. as I have said before, I would rather be single and happy than married but miserable..
and now I had finally found someone whom I can love wholeheartedly, without any boundaries, and someone whom I wish to spend the rest of my life with.. and someone whom I wanna make LOTS of babies with, and someone whom I know I will take care of with my own life..
and for you, my beautiful fiancee.. I promise u that I will take care of u with my life, and love you with my heart and soul..
herez some of the pics from our engagement..

My baby Fiancee..

our engagement ring that I use to handcuff her.. sorry eh.. now u are untouchable already..

with our mothers..

and my beautiful fiancee again..
and having a young wife means that she can really give me LOTS of babies.. :)
I'm preparing myself to be a perfect husband for her.. and to be a perfect dad for our upcoming kids.. in which we wanna start by the end of this yr, right after the wedding.. and if I am not shooting blanks.. we should be getting a baby by Sept next yr..
another yeyness..
and darling.. I really appreciate ur efforts tau.. and from the first time I tasted ur cooking, I know that u'll make me even fatter than I already am..
I'm in Zurich right now, in the crew lounge, a few doors away from my room.. right in the middle of winter.. and itz cold and snowing outside that I cant really be bothered abt going out of the hotel..
Switzerland.. ahh.. where my baby is gonna be created in 2008..
an elderly passenger of mine had invited and insisted that we visit her during our honeymoon here if we do decide to come here for it..
of course.. if that is ok with u k Sayang?
ok.. for the other updates in life..
Sad news at the end of 2006.. one of my old time friends passed away on 31st Dec.. Ayu a.k.a DINDA a.k.a Dindayu, an IRC chatter in #melayu2 abt 5 or 6 yrz ago, died of heart failure after 2 yrz battling with respiratory problems..
I was reading her blog where in her last posting, abt a month or so before she died, she mentioned that she dont think she can live long..
and according to Hainie.. during Hari Raya Aidil Adha, when she did a korban, she mentioned that she herself will be korban..
I guess itz true that ppl can sometime feel when they are leaving..
either that or she felt really sick..
so, for Ayu.. I wish u a blissful journey to the other side..
the band had gone on a hiatus now.. and so far, since the last gig, I have met them only once at Esplanade..
and my online life is zero, except to read up on some programming stuffs that I had been working on..
and for those who wants to know.. Lazarus rocks.. though I still love Delphi, a code-compatible Object Pascal, which cross compiles to other platforms, like ARM and Lintel, is a breather.. and definitely much easier to use compared to Kylix coz the Kylix widgets are too platform specific..
to compile in Lazarus, u just need to change the targeted processor.. THAT EASY.. and thatz it..
just that for now, Lazarus binaries are much bigger than Delphi, so if u can afford that trade off, then go ahead.. so far, it works well for me..
that aside.. as for myself now, I'm preparing myself for the upcoming wedding in 315 days time.. but as it is, I'm not as excited abt the wedding itself compared to the life after the wedding with her..
and yepz.. my fiancee is 18 yrz younger than I am..
I know of some ppl with attempted hits and misses and reaching their 20s without anything in sight..
unfortunately, it still stand true that when girls reach their mid 20s, and no possible suitors, u'll be very close to be left on the shelves..
as for my own baby, I know that I will take care of you.. and by the time u reach that age, we'll be scurrying back and forth sending our kids to school k?

The End
This blog is now closed.
Thanks to those who had been nice enough to leave comments and tags and those who regularly visits this blog.
And I didnt get any hate tags till the end of the blog. To the two poor idiots, unfortunately, with as much conscience that I have, in which, being very close to NONE, I'd still tell u to go fuck urself.
OK.. maybe not the one with the nick GAL, coz I think u tagged with good intentions for someone.. but the one with the nick ANOTHER. hope u'll have fun.
but then again, I have a strong feeling that u are one poor Malay girl who lost her sampan..
I'll tell u in a way that u will understand then..
Relek xua.. u sound like one sad vagina who was fucked and left.
too fucking bad.
I'm closing this blog coz I'm too tired to post anything. but for the moment, I'll let it stand as it is so that those of u who wish to go for a holiday can see some of the places that I had been to, and those Malays who wishes to be Mats and Minahs can think twice.
and those who likes anonymous tagging can go get a dildo.
Thanks to those who had been nice enough to leave comments and tags and those who regularly visits this blog.

To my dearest Malay friends..
I shall not piss u guys off anymore..
No more jokes of Dayung Sampans and stuffs like that..
coz I know better now.
I was stupid and silly, and my sincere apologies..
Please do not kill me.
ok.. disclaimer..
If any of my further Malay and Mats and Minahs jokes will piss u off in future.. please remember that itz not me who wrote it..
I was somehow possessed by an Indian spirit causing temporary dementia which made me create jokes about Malays.
I love Malays k..
ok ok..
for the explanation of my current fear of the Malays..
Was wiki-ing.. and came across a definition of Amok..
herez a snippet of the definition..
[snip]
Amok, sometimes spelled amuck and often used as "running amok," is a Malay word which, in that language, means to be out of control.
[end snip]
[snip again]
Some sources have identified Malays as having a particular tendency to run amok, making this an example of a culture-bound syndrome, but they are by no means the only people to do so. For example, W. W. Skeat writes in the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica: "A Malay will suddenly and apparently without reason rush into the street armed with a kris or other weapons, and slash and cut at everybody he meets till he is killed. These frenzies were formerly regarded as due to sudden insanity. It is now, however, certain that the typical amok is the result of circumstances, such as domestic jealousy or gambling losses, which render a Malay desperate and weary of his life. It is, in fact, the Malay equivalent of suicide.
[end snip]
OMFG..
u guys are CRAZY..
lol..
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!
yey..
ok ok...
anyway..
therez a song by the band Wings... for those who doesnt know the band, LU TAK ROCK.. RELEK XUA..
ok.. from the song.. Inspirasi Taming Sari..
for the uninformed..
Taming Sari is the kris, or a Malay dagger, worn by Hang Tuah, a legendary Malaccan warrior in the 15th Century.. who won it in a duel in Majapahit with a warrior of that name.. and is said to have magical powers that will protect its owner by having a life of its own..
Hang Tuah had been said to have thrown away the kris before disappearing after failing to secure a marriage proposal by the crazy Sultan who wanted to marry every pretty girl he had heard of..
so Wings said in that song..
Tapi kini tiada lagi
Taming Sari sudah hilang dari mata..
ermz..
and I had really thought, all along, that Taming Sari is really gone..
till, thru the power bestowed upon me by Wikipedia.. I found out (though millions had found out before me.. but I found out BEFORE Wings who still thinks that Taming Sari sudah hilang dari mata)..

that Taming Sari still exists!
dammit..
all these years of making it seems so mystical..
Taming Sari had always been in Perak, and the current owner of it is Sultan Azlan Shah.. and it had always been worn as a regalia (official royal outfit) for the Sultan of Perak..
so if Taming Sari is all so powerful..
how come Perak cant defeat the Israelis ah?
Iran dont need to build nuclear weapons..
Saddam will call upon Sultan of Perak and say sorry for every person he killed..
Bush will say sorry to the Sultan for every bomb he dropped..
so, as mystical as Taming Sari is.. itz just another piece of metal whos power had been overrated..
if the Boyanese ppl had always been so powerful with their tuju tuju and their ilmu and so on.. how come they never did conquer the world ah?
they never conquered anything else besides Pulau Bawean anyway..
as far as I know.. Boyanese girls are pretty. and thatz more important than any tuju tuju powers..
unless their dads want to send some flying eggs in my direction ah..
so ok.. my Malay friends.
when some Malay boys are caught rioting, and populate Changi Prison, RTC and Boys Home.. itz perfectly normal..
coz Malays have the tendencies to Amok..
If Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, Hang Kasturi, Hang Lekir and Hang Lekiu were still alive.. they might be some Matrep lepakking at a Malaccan MacDonald's..
and what kinda name is Lekiu anyway..
ok.. Tuah, Jebat, Lekir might be Matreps..
Kasturi might be a sissy little gay..
Le-Q might be into rap and hiphop and some RnB shitz..
but dont try to piss that gay coz he have the tendency to run Amok anyway..
I'm fearful for my life now since now I know my Malay friends likes to run amok and be very suicidal..
I'm not surprised that W. W. Skeat is a racist anyway.. 1911 is just during the time of the British occupation of Singapore.. and therefore itz not surprising if he would put some demeaning remarks against ppl that they ruled coz they treated ppl like cattles..
anyway, as far as I know.. besides being Mats and Minahs, the Malays dont have the tendencies to be irritating.. and they definitely dont run Amok..
I like my Malay friends..
awww..
*big hug*
someone should shoot Skeat in the ass.
and anyway... I'm in Bombay now.. in the hotel room..
didnt go out at all.. so no pics this time..
I took quite a few pics on my last trip to Bombay anyway..
leaving tonite.. so I'll be home tmrw, then off to Johore to celebrate my birthday with the rest of the November babies in my family..
and my birthday is on Sunday!
yey..
tengkiu.. tengkiu..
I'll be 34 yrz old..
and retiring from Ska at 35..
I wanna be playing jazz and swing after 35.. :)
and what better way to celebrate a birthday than to jam for 3 hours with the band..
and btw.. we'll still be playing on 25th Nov at GasHaus..
tickets are up on sale now, at $10 presale..
I have 40 tickets with me now.. so for those who wanna get it from me, msg me on msn k?
Happy Birthday To Me..
