On the 21st June 2009, I woke up at 8.20am. It was a Sunday but I was up early. Why? My brother gave me a wake up call. I had to meet the rest at 10am at Bugis. I sent the rest a warning sms to not be late and I informed them the time to meet, again.

Shit happened. Seriously. I know we all had to wake up early in the morning on a Sunday. I know how it feels. So I pretended I was all happy about it and tried to cheer you guys up by being hyper and joking with you guys.

It's hard for me because I don't know how comfortable you guys are with me. I'm an easy person and I don't mind closeness but I guess you guys have your limits. So, yes I felt like an idiot, I was ignored, you guys were annoyed. But the least you guys could do was to just be responsible. You play instruments, so you should be responsible for settling your own equipments. You keep asking and bugging for the meeting time, and you turn up late. Who's the lazy one? You tell me.

Anyway, shit aside. The gig turned out great. Quite a number of people came down to support the band and I was so happy to see them. Believe it or not, these are the people whom I've not met for months! Well, yeah they were my lovely juniors as well as Benji and Farrah! Whoo! Roszy, Faris, Halina, Amanda, Shirin and Irshaad. Erm, Irshaad's not my junior alright. He's a nice, tall person who's as anti-Malay as I am. High 5 yo! Awesome-ness to the max. I was so happy yet nervous at the same time.

I was going to perform for my friends and other people. And it was probably the first time ever they were going to see me perform! It was crazy I tell you.

So, enough of words. Let the pictures do the talking while I get busy uploading. Whoot. The pictures should be in order so fret no peoplez. And pardon the awkward smiles in the first few pictures. I was ... unprepared?






































Done? Were the pictures good? Well, let's thank Irshaad and Roszy for the pictures! Whoo. All applause for their Nikon D60 and Fuji somethingsomething. Thanks guys for sending them to me.

Playing one song for an audition was nerve-wrecking enough. But to play a set of 5 songs for our first gig?! Wow. (Okay, we played 4 and a 1/2 songs because yours truly got too overexcited and left out the 2nd half of the first song. Awesome or what!) Well, it was our first time performing together so I consider this our first gig although most of us have already performed elsewhere before.

And after everything ended, I felt relieved and excited. Seeing faces lit up, in awe, shocked or just smiling was nice. Then some came up to us and congratulated us, some wanted to get to know us. It was a very nice feeling. It's like "Wow, finally I've accomplished something in my life and I can move one now!" feeling but not to that extent. Ya know?

And I felt so flattered when Shirin said "Hey, let's take a picture with the band!". It was like "Woah, we're now THE band!". Not too overexaggerate(sp?) but that's exactly how it felt like. And the juniors kept mentioning they want to be the band's groupies. Hehe, so cute. Also, they want to be invited to our next gig and our EP launch. Wah, we'll see about that. No promises. Once again, the feeling was nice.

Thanks once again who came to watch us. Shirin, Faris, Amanda, Halina, Roszy, Irshaad, Farrah, Benji and the other bandmates' friends.

Overall, it was a great day. We all invested so much money and time for this, I hope we still do carry on and stay together. Well, not in a gay way since the rest of you are erm, guys. But you know what I mean. Dontcha?

Oh oh, and I love how I was dressed that day. I think I looked awesome. But if you don't, then go shave your eyebrows and masturbate in your parent's bedroom or something. Fuck you.


Chao.
