Premelodic: Strategy College

Last Saturday (Aug 5th) Premelodic had performed at Strategy College *FYI, Strategy College is formerly called EDI* Bangi for an event (which I can’t quite remember). From Wangsa Maju, me and Erik drove to Bangi via the Sg Besi and waited for Amin and Raja at the Bangi toll. Bob was already there. When Amin and Raja reached there, we again had waited for a friend who was going to show us the way. Eventually (after a few missed turns) we found the college and waited at the car park before being called to perform.

It was nearly 10pm when we walked to the stage area and saw a college band performed “Sedang Ingin Bercinta”. The students were loud with their cheering and clapping, they just rock and I knew at that time that Premelodic will have lotsa fun performing for this bunch ;)

Premelodic had performed a few numbers including “Can’t take My Eyes of You” which involved the students singing together at the top of their lungs with Raja. Nearby, I was busy crawling and climbing *literally* to get better shots of Premelodic with Erik’s E-500. There was a short photo session with the students afterwards.

I better create a Flickr account to put these photos *sigh*. Wait for it, occay?

Pesta Bola Era - Malacca (Day 2)

DAY 2

I woke up quite late the second day. I always have problem adjusting myself to new environment. Before I went to sleep last night, I checked under the duvet, behind the curtains, under the sofas and last but the most important; inside the closet and drawers. PARANOID ME :"> Me and Rinie thought that since we were in Malacca, might as well we acted like tourist and roamed the city, teeheehee ;) Malacca is splendid and I was in a jubilant mood!! I guessed it was probably the doing of the air. I can smell the beach from the wind. Yes, smelled it. The smell of salt water and fishes and the sand...*sigh* Beach is Love, ok? :D

After we packed all things and set to check out from the hotel, Rinie suggested that we all go to Indori for lunch. I had no objection on that and thinking about the food that me and Rinie had the day before, made me only CRAVE for more. So, all the seven of us were having a feast there! Our table were filled with more than 20 types of lauk, all DELICIOUS! And we were glad that the guys love it too. Makan sampai terduduk taw! Heheh ;P After we had our fill, we went to Muzium Rakyat (sila rujuk gambarajah di atas..heee), The A'Famosa and St Paul's Church which is on the opposite of St John's Hill. According to records, there is an underground tunnel linking the A'Famosa to St John's Hill, but up to these days, the tunnel is yet to be found. Very interesting huh? We took a few photos there, but I can't yet upload them here since the photos are not with me. I'll upload them at a later time in the coming post ok? ;)

Pesta Bola Era - Malacca (Day 1)

Lamernye dah tak menulis!! I'm getting lazier and lazier each passing day...Well not so much happened in July. Maybe it's too early for me to conclude that July 2006 is a boring month. Btw, the start of the month was a memorable day for me. On the 1st of July, I packed a few things and went straight to Raja's house. There, Raja and Rinie were already waited for me. We were off to Malacca for Pesta Bola ERA!! ;) Premelodic is one of the performers for that event. I was so giddy with excitement; it has been such a long time since I last had a vacation. Malacca is not so alien to me. I've been there 3-4 times already, so I know that this vacation will turn out just swell!~

DAY 1
Erik, Bob, Amin and Zul was in Bob's Kenari, while Rinie, Raja and myself was in Rinie's Citra. We reached there around noon. The weather was SO HOT! Me and Rinie dropped the guys at the hotel and we started to hunt for food! God, we were famished!!! Through sheer instinct and pure luck *hehe* with a worn restaurant brochure called Indori as guideline, we finally found the spot! Indori serves Nasi Padang and up to this day I still think that their Nasi Padang is THE BEST...H-E-A-V-E-N-L-Y so to say!! We can't wait to go back to the hotel and tell the guys how much we enjoyed our lunch. Hehe ;) In the evening, we followed the Astro bus to Stadium Hang Tuah. There, we met Myra of Beat TV who is actually a good friend of Rinie. To Myra, it was a tremendous pleasure to meet and know u. U're a doll, and a funny one too! ;*

Premelodic was supposed to perform during half-time but they had performed before the game started since that one of the referee is nowhere to be found and the crowd started to get restless. The match between Astro's Celebrities and the DJs from Era Radio turned out to be not so enjoyable. I've already forgot the score. Later, other performers like Shazzy, Syuga and Pretty Ugly entertained the crowd. Pesta Bola Era ended late at night with a live telecast of AF4 followed by the World Cup 2006 match between England and Portugal. We didn't stay that long and went back early to the hotel, showered and gathered at the hotel's cafeteria to watch England vs. Portugal. Sadly, England was defeated by Portugal during the penalty ;'( *sob sob* Nothing much happened that night except that I've the opportunity to watch the "usual" nightlife of Malacca from the hotel's main entrance. Oh wow...it was Lumba Haram. Mat Rempits filled the highway like maggots, huh. PEST!!

It's August 31 - Independence Day...

Arhhh...Merdeka Day come & go~ On the Merdeka's Eve I felt quite lonely *pathetic* ;p if not for the Premelodic show at Yamaha, Kelana Jaya! I went there with Surie and Maz and found Ina, Rienie, Raja, Erik, Amin, Bob and Boy were already there. The crowd mostly came for the Yamaha Warehouse Sale, which is like sooooooo COOL and the guitars and keyboards are sooooo damn CHEAP!!! *why oh why I've spent all my month's salary?* :( After the show we all went to the nearest mapley for makan-makan. My Merdeka celebration was just like any other day it seems... Except for the show~ huhu
