YOUTH DAY FEST : LORONG SENI - 27-29.05.2011

Hello guys ! It's me again . how you guys been doing ? I hope that everybody are enjoying their life now . =) For this entry , i will write about the YOUTH DAY FEST or HIMPUNAN SEJUTA BELIA that was being held in Putrajya in conjunction with The MINISTRY OF YOUTHS AND SPORT . I was actually participating in this event for helping the SECRETARIAT CREW to conduct this event and help them to ensure this event to work smoothly as possible . Thank God , everything was fine . =D . During this event , there was one segment that really caught my attention which was called LORONG SENI . 

       LORONG SENI is actually an organization under RAKAN MUDA which try to help and to promote our local acts in various area of arts such as music , fine arts , theater , poetry , ICT , dance , art crafts , literature from alternative , contemporary and scholarly . LORONG SENI act as a platform to give chance and opportunity for artist from mainstream and independent stream to promote them self to let people get to know them better . For more info you can visit their facebook page here : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lorong-Seni/112841978789734?sk=info . So during my participating in helping out SECRETARIAT CREW i took my camera and had some shot for this event . Lets see some of the photos from the event yawww ! :D

AKAR vs KUKUBESI : 21.05.2011

Alright guys . i know it's kind of late if you look at the date . but still , don't mind about it . this one new entry and few more post later on will have the date that is actually late from the real date of the event that being held . This is because during this period of time i have lots of commitment to settle . family matters, studying ,  got few jobs , editing album for customer . oh yes , i forgot to mention , i do wedding photography too with my brother =) . check out our page for more info :  http://www.facebook.com/finecreative and http://www.finecreative.net/intro/ . OK , this event was actually my first time doing a concert photography with my DSLR . i was very excited about it . i even came to the event alone . HAHA can't you imagine it?? i was supposed to meet few friends here , but due to several problems , we didn't bump into each other and some of them didn't manage to come . but , no worries .i still enjoyed the event . so here's the details of the event . 

       Basically , AKAR was previously known as Layar Tanchap Shah Alam is actually a movement or an organizer that bring out and bring together art lover , music , poetry , writings and photography of our local acts and put them all in one platform to be shared out and let people know who they are . while KUKUBESI : http://www.kukubesi.com/ and http://www.facebook.com/kukubesimanipulasi is a well known MALAYSIAN photographic . His work is eye catching , unique and mesmerizing . You can find his art works by Google it out . You'll find thousands of them . He previously worked with KRU Studio for the Merong Mahawangsa film poster . Well , it looks very classy . My first impression for the poster was "this is not from our Malaysian boy " .  And guess what ?? i was wrong . He ( KUKUBESI ) is a MALAYSIAN boy and i'm proud of him . There's a few more movie poster that had been done by him such as KARAK , TOLONG ! AWEK AKU PONTIANAK , MISTERI JALAN LAMA , HUSIN MON DAN JIN PAKAI TONCIT , and few more . Feel free to check out his work . I think that's a lil' introduction for the name of the event AKAR vs KUKUBESI : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Akar-Kukubesi/226595744023775 . So , here's some photos from the event .

A FEW YEARS BACK

So here i am again . checking in my blog. continue to write every little piece of me that i barely remember of what had happened few years back then . what did i do , where did i gone to , and i try to resemble back every piece of lost memories here , now . so bear with me .

         As i warn you before , bear with me , cause this entry will be very long , very tiring to read , very boring because you never know who i was back then before we know each other now . So this is me . What i usually spent and waste my leisure time during my previous years . i am a gig goer . and i am a fan of our local acts . Yes , i did mention to you . I LOVE MUSIC . from hardcore , metalcore , punk rock , pop punk , indie rock , alt rock , i listen to them all as long it suits my mood and my ears don't bleed while listening to them . my first gig was X-Gig in IPOH . i was still studying in school that time . if i am not mistaken , i was in Form 5 , and the gig was held during my SPM week ! HELL YES ! i couldn't resist the temptation to join this gig because i never had opportunity to attend one ! even though the day after the gig was my Physic Exam Paper (SPM) , but who cares ?! I've been studying for so long for this exam , so i bet , what would i lost if skip one day of studying to join this gig ? am i right ? so the line up for this gig was Bunkface , Bittersweet , Harmacy , Muck , and there was another two bands that i forgot their name . so sorry . :(  and here are some pictures from the gig.

This is the band that i couldn't remember their name.

         Let's continue . after X-Gig in Ipoh , i kept on going for gigs around my place . and this is my second gig that i attended. The name was Indie Day Out Fest . During this event , i had an opportunity to met the very first band from MALAYSIA , our LOCAL ACTS , that sounds like PARAMORE . you don't believe me ? go look for them now !  http://www.facebook.com/helloisthistheband . Started from that day , i keep myself updating with them. Diana , or Dy the Voc and her band mates are very friendly and she's cute too !  So here's some pictures from the gig .

         This was another gig . The gig named Orbit Muzika , was held in Ipoh too at St. John Ambulance Hall , Ipoh. This gig was organized for The Hans and Mustard album launching . Awesome ! and there was also prizes to be given for Best Dress or King and Queen for the show . The place for this event was actually conducive . The air conditioner was well functioning and it made me feel so comfortable . As usual , most of the line up for the bands was actually my first time experienced to see them performing live . So the line up was Bittersweet , Couple , The Hans , Mustard , Melastik Bintang , Sam CF band , The Night Act , Zip Zieller , MARO and many more to be listed ! Here's some of the pictures from the gig .

       After three gigs in Ipoh , i returned to my hometown Penang . This lovely beautiful island will never be replaced by any other place i guess . Err...i hope so . You know what i mean ? right ? So , urmm...this gig was organized by XFM radio , formerly known as Xfresh FM . I really proud with this particular radio station because they would bring , support , and help out our local bands and artists ! How cool is that right ? So if anyone of you out there in a band , or managing a band or bands , you should bring your demo right now and give it to them . Who knows ? You might be famous . :) Ok , so here's some of the pictures from the gigs . Fyi , i used to listen for these bands in radio , of course XFM , and i feel so excited because this was another my first time seeing them performing live !
