I had a great time joining Malaysia's first iBand [Saturday Nite Drive] for the Maxis iPhone 3Gs roadshow in KLCC. Well, so far theres only one short video of our performances... and here it is. I'll Be Your Crying Shoulder by Edwin McCain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-A5cDWO2vA Well, the shit thing is that, as the singer, I had to talk crap all the way... introducing the new iPhone and stuff. "Welcome to Maxis iPhone 3Gs roadshow in Suria KLCC. We are Malaysia's first iBand called Saturday Nite Drive. Why iBand? Because we play musical instruments using the iPhone...." bla bla bla. Imagine repeating these words every set of our songs. Fyi, I'm not in the band... just a last minute replacement. =p But heck it was cool. Did you know you can play the flute on the iPhone by blowing through to mic? Too bad the video of Hotel California is not put up. You guys should see Michael do his guitar solo on the iPhone.

Sometimes how you feel is just indescribable. Try putting the words together, and you mess it all up. Maybe all you need to do is just not to crack your head thinking too much. Things won't turn out to be as complicating as you think it is. Go with Nike, Just Do It. Sometimes your intuition tells you the right thing to do just when you can't even explain why. A little prayer will help you out of your predicaments, or maybe even your peers will be a good cure for the wounds. A sincere confession relieves you from all of the shit you're going through. Be sincere in the things you do for that special someone. Don't expect anything in return. "Great things take time." (thank you Kar Mun) So what are we learning here? Patience. "Love is patient and kind." At the rock bottom point of your life, don't fret. Just when you least expected it, what you've been out there searching for forever, is in your hands. Treasure the people around you. Trust me, you will realize eventually that they are important, and indeed, priceless. Never abandon them cause they are the ones who will be there for you at the very end. There's no harm putting on a smile every single day, so cherish every beautiful moments you've had and kiss emoness goodbye.
