AHM - This Song Is So Random I Dont Know Why

The video of AHM's gig in Laundry Bar is up.

Brutal Princess is 21!

The Brutal Princess is 21! Puteri invited us to her Brutal BLACK birthday party but what I heard is BBQ. Besides, we are being told that we will have surprise from the Brutal Queen. We do not know where is the place and we were waiting for Puteri in front of the Zoo Negara.

Julia in the car playing with her BB.

We gathered in front of Zoo Negara.

It was like gathering haram because all of us were wearing black shirts.

Wani and Me.

All of us wore blacks and accidentally we formed a Geng Perodua because all the drivers drove Perodua Kancil, Kenari and Myvi. The actual place was Isi Rimba, a relaxation place which has horse riding, pain-ball, and much more but the journey through the jungle was really creepy and scary.

The Brutal Queen - Puteri's Mom, really brutal. She prepared a ghost themed party for the Brutal Princess. Haha, the surprise she gave to Puteri was the license to MEROKOK.

The Brutal Princess was blowing candles.

Puteri and her "boyfriend".

Julia , Ella, and Puteri.

JOM MEROKOK!

So brutal~

The sexy hotdog couple.

The juicy grilled lamb.

Buffet style.

The cute cat.

I didnt manage to shot much photos because I still sucks. Haha, most of the photos cacat. Anyway, Happy Birthday to Brutal Princess, Puteri.

Little Ben

Little Ben - A non halal cafe which located in Pavilion. We went there for lunch before movie. They offer set lunch everyday including weekends for RM9.90 and the best about Little Ben is they do not charge service tax and goverment tax.

Julia already start eating while Ella still playing with camera. She really in love with photography, that's great!

Both of them ordered Curry Salormee.

This is my Beef Brisket Keow Teow Sup.

Overall the food taste good enough for the price RM9.90 but for me the portion is not enough, haha.

Human Foosball

6th of July, Tuesday - Cody said that he has event going on at TARC's canteen and asked me to bring 5 friends and take part in the event. So, after class we went to canteen to check out what was going on. It was the Human Foosball organized by Pepsi. It was interesting and we decided to take part. The six of us were Ella, BengChai, YunnHorng, Vincent, YongPing and me. Julia was the photographer.

We were waiting for YongPing, the best striker in AML.

We went into and start preparing ourselves for a hardcore match with another girls team.

I was the goalkeeper because I dont play football~ I dont know how to kick. Haha.

Still preparing and discussing...

and finally the match starts~

Vincent, the midfield.

YongPing, scored with the Golden Bird Kick!

Ella and BengChai were the defenders.

Kick! Kick! Kick!

We won the match with 4 goals in 7 minutes and rewarded 1 big bottle of Pepsi for each person.

Ella with her Pepsi~

Yeah! We are the winner! Haha, it was kind of fun playing together. Well, I am looking forward to have more activities together. The photos credit goes to Julia, thank you.

The LX3

I am not into photography but finally I managed to get myself a compact digital camera - Panasonic LX3. I know that I am a bit slow when everyone already start to play with DSLR and I got many suggestions that asked me to invest few hundreds more to get an entry-level DSLR. I need a camera which is portable yet still capable to capture good quality photos. DSLR is a bit bulky for me and I am not ready for it.

At first I aimed for the GF1 but it is a bit too costly for me to get it as my first camera because I am still a newbie. So, I decided to get the LX3 as it got many good reviews and I like its classic alike design. I will try to get used to it and after that I will grab its accessories like lens and filters. Hope that I will not regret buying it later.

The D Ultimatum

Denon D7000 & Darkvoice 336 Classic
The colourful combination

Why D Ultimatum?
Just a simple naming because both of the brands start with D.

The D7000 and 336 pair up to be a very colourful combination. D7000 is a fun can which already add colours in the output and the 336 is defenitely a colour amp as vacuum tubes act as colour agent. Different vacuum tubes have their own characteristic and colouration. The vacuum tubes used on 336 are 6AS7/6080 and 6SN7.

What is colouration in audio? It adds mood to your listening by shifting or changing the power or amplitude of signal. Colouration has its good and bad. It's nice to listen, fun and even can bring out your mood. It's hard to explain in words and the best way is to experience it by yourself. Example, I like to listen to Madonna's with this setup because it makes you feel the beats and feel like wanna dance with the music.

For those who loves neutral sound mostly do not like colour~ It's simple, colouration adds flavours and the output is not original. But still it is depending on each preference and the genres of music. You will not want to listen to orchetra with colourful amplification because it sounds not right and you will not want to listen to dance or techno with flat amplification because it sounds boring.

Harman Kardon GLA55

Harman Kardon GLA-55 - (Glass)

Probably the most expensive 2.0 multimedia speaker.

What do you think about it after scroll through the 2 photos above?

Before I go into headphones, around the end of 2009, I was looking for this sexy babes. That time there was no Harman Kardon distributor in Malaysia. Thus, I planned to get it from Singapore and the cost was around RM6k+ including tax and shipment cost. Damn! Luckily I didnt make that decision. If not I will be banging wall now.

I got an invitation from David Lee from Event One Sdn. Bhd. - Harman Kardon distributor. He invited me to the MacStudio in Bangsar Shopping Complex to audition this set of speaker. It is my pleasure to have chance listen to it.

First... It is not small. Haha, it is almost as big as a human head. This pair of speakers is the most expensive 2.0 multimedia speaker, you cannot find any other 2.0 system that cost RM3500. Most people will WOW and ask, "Why so expensive? Built by crystal meh?". No, it is not crystal but it is bulletproof glass. I also don't understand why it need to be bulletproof? Maybe it is meant to jack up its value? Bulletproof will not improve its sounding but it looks good and it is hard to leave any scratches on it.

Overall, its design and build quality are great. It is so luxury and beautiful. It is transparent and you cannot find any wires, you see its tweeters and aluminum cone. It uses touch-sensitive volumn control. According to Harman Kardon, they use 3" Atlas aluminum cone woofer and Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm (CMMD) doom tweeter. Indeed it is beautifully well-built with good quality components. But when I was auditioning it, I felt disappointed because it did not up to my expectation. Maybe it is limited by its amplification, size, or music source. For me, it sounds good but not good enough for RM3500 because it is better to invest in entry-level Hi-Fi.

Well, I got a good offer but I will not grab it because my requirement is higher. If anyone interested, contact me~

Laundry Night with An Honest Mistake

How I know this band?
Thank to facebook, I got to know the band leader - Darren.
He is a nice and friendly guy. Last time he invited me to go watch their show at Library but I missed it. I had not been so supportive.
Again, they will be performing at Laundry on 17th of June. Recently I am not feeling so well and I feel like drinking. That made me decide to go on 17th and watch An Honest Mistake.
I posted on facebook and I didnt expect anyone will join me but Aaron replied on my post. He gave me a shocked because I never expect that he is serious in joining me. So I started to recruit people and in the end Julia, Ella, ZiYing, YunnHorng, YongPing and BengChai joined.

According to Darren, they will start on 9.30 pm. We reached there at around 9 pm and there were many people watching football match. We hardly found a nice place - in front of the stage.

The performance started by Ariff Abu Bakar. He has a great voice.
Followed by Goodbye 20th Century. They were good too but I think they need a vocalist.
Lastly, the show was ended by An Honest Mistake. The Laundry was filled with people, their fans. Wow, I didnt expect that they are so awesome and they have huge fans. I always been very negative towards local music but they changed my perspective. They are awesome!

Seriously, this coming July I will grab their album!
