jogging!

Jogging is a good way of exercising. You will feel good after the strenuous workout. It makes you treasure free air that you breath in and out. Verbally saying that I want to jog is far-fetched from doing it in real. After all I said this to George, “can I join you in the 21km run?” Hmm… I regret saying that. I wonder why I asked to be part of running for a charity event. Can I event complete that?

Today, I went jogging with George. The difference between him and myself is that he‘s fit; I‘m not. Haha. We ran a distance of about 4km around the school. When we started, we ran side by side. We started slow and jogged to a faster pace later. Having not jogged for a very long time, I thought I could finish the jog without any hiccups.

Then the worst thing happen. I lost my breath halfway through. I can’t keep up with George who seems so cool and not out of breath. I stopped halfway, hands on my knees. CANNOT TAHAN!

Then George asked me to jog slowly instead. I wonder how he could jog and talk at the same time. I don’t see him puffing for air whereas I was gasping for air. My windpipe felt closed and my lips was super dry.

He persuaded me to jog all the way without stopping. And…. I did! It was an accomplishment for me! I have to thank George for giving me the motivation to jog. Thanks George!

kena kick out of Battle Of The Bands!

First let me start with my bands failure to get into the semi-finals. Argh. The quarter finals was last Saturday. We had our 1st band practise together! (it has always been 4/5 of attendance!) wahuu.

We practised in this jamming room dunno somewhere in peninsula. The thing that gave me the jittery feeling was that we were the first band up to perform. Hmm. We had some sound checks before we performed. Hmm. I think my lead singer felt nervous that day, her singing couldn't keep up with the song. But nvm! we all can improve!

After we performed, we got an almost cold reply. This is what he said, "i love your song but there are areas for improvement"

well... nvm.....

Battle of the Bands

I just feel that it's just too soon!! argh... We got through the auditions (which was last Saturday) and the quarter-finals is just around the corner! We have to play 2 songs and my group proposed playing Helena from MCR and Swamped from Lacuna Coil. I shall warn you first. Don't ask me anything about that group. I don't know much of them! I just..... go with the group. Wahoo.

On Saturday, I have to attend this FYP colloquium (excuse me if the spelling is wrong) organized by the school. It's from 8am-1pm. Then later, I have to run to have a last run of jamming practice at dunno what time. The quarter finals starts at 4pm.

You know they say the event will start at 4pm but actually it starts at 5pm plus. Then to make it worst there are about 30 bands competing. It will be a long wait for our turn. By then, I shall buy some twisties snacks and a coke bottled drink. (The competition is held in a pub and I can't and don't want to drink liquor)

What do you expect? Aidi to drink beer? No right? Haha… Aidi is just too good and lovable to drink it. LOL.

For now, Aidi! Go go go! Practice and practice more!! And yeah, buy a new guitar string! Your “G-string” is broken. Ok, it sounds wrong, but that’s the name of the GUITAR string. It’s just a coincidence.

NDP06 preview

It's been a long time since my last entry into the National Stadium two years ago. Back then, I was with my school's military band performing in SYF 04 opening ceremony. I was an EXTRA playing the instrument; trombone. In that 3-4 months of training, my skin turned somewhat "chaota" due to the very hot temperatures when we trained. The feeling of stepping on that green grass in the National Stadium was AWESOME.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to be in it again. Not to perform but to watch the preview of NDP06. James' friend had extra tickets. He asked Muhammad and I to tag along with him to the stadium.

We were seated in the north stand and our view were unblocked. We saw Electrico playing their new song live on the stage to entertain us. Seated in a row, we try to contain our hunger; there were no food provided. sad. There was something new though. The Air Force showed their new "toy" in their family; the APACHE attack helicopter. It "buzz" through the stadium giving an "oomph" feeling to the parade.

That's all though. Enjoy the pics!


just look at the crowds!

attention! haha..


focus more on the right! it's the apache's!

nice performance!

what's NDP without fireworks??
