My Purpose

Dad is coming back home later today afternoon after his therapy session. For two weeks, I'll be assisting him, getting him to do all the stuff he wants.

For once, I've felt my purpose.

Friday Night

Watching a gig by The Kegs, The Rejeks, The Bangs, and The Coronas (IRE) Partying with The Futureheads (UK) and Ginette's DJ set @ Home Club with a free entry.

Thank you Corrinne! :)

A night well spent with the bunch of great people.

Dear God, save my father I still need him.

Dad is in ICU, recovering from his bike accident.
I love him so much that I could cry :'(

Good Times

24 hours ago I was happily jamming with Amsy and Adlan for the preparation of the Halloween gig at Home Club. About 22 hours ago Crackerjack was rocking the house down with our tracks and impressed some of the people there and made new friends. It was the best gig in the history of Crackerjack. It was the best day ever.

friday uniforms

from west to the east. having a joyous jalan raya with the boys in the bands and other friends. more on facebook.

just random

this is what i've been doing because of the hot weather and the boredom. happy aquarium at facebook. oh god! hahaha. i'm done with it now, just waiting for my fish to grow up :D

still getting but...

now's the time to celebrate. there's food after food. the first day did only 4 houses and still getting my green packets. there's no need for me to refuse but to accept it. i'm unemployed, not schooling and i'm broke. thanks god this happen! haha. this year's going to be the last. NS is around the corner and soon it's my turn to do the giving. i'm done with the junior years of my life and i'm going to be the senior ones. join the gang!

well, the second day was just staying at home waiting for the relatives to come. it was mee soto and the hari raya kuihs, the hot tea and 'air aaron aziz'. the closest cousins came down. my 2nd eldest cousin, midah brought her twins down, andika and andriana. two bunch of cute cubby little fellow. one is hyperactive, the other just like to laze around. shahidah brought the mischievous irfan and izzah. that's much it besides trying to control my nephew & nieces. according to my mother's side of the family i'm probably the 3rd one in line in the male sector. hahaha. ok the photo's are up my facebook for viewing.

the commotion had died down. i'm probably not going out with my family because of dad working and possibly staying at home for visitors to come. it's tiring to entertain guests but what to do when my dad is not around. *sigh*

anyways, happy hari raya folks! :)

reality is

finally! i got my baju kurung from geylang, thanks to zaf. surprisingly it's not that crowded on a wednesday but of course it's hot and greasy. it's always been the same throughout the years. nothing more, nothing less. honestly, i don't favour going there especially on this festive season.

the satuday is the day out from breaking fast at beach road, to the gig/flea market at crawlspace, to just hanging out at iluma, and supper at kallang. there's some photos of it on facebook. so just drop by. yea, bim is back from jakarta, so a lot more noise. then a long walk home from the safra.

"i don't fancy people who MIA for a long time and came back to you only if they have problems. people have feelings, we're not toys that is to be used, and chuck them aside when you found others that's much more interesting which can provide you with the happiness that is needed." - lucky i got real friends.

and so, it's left with 1 more week till hari raya. couting down till i can meet my relatives and eating together :) generally i've heard, "i got no mood to raya, bla bla bla" what the hell is that? get together with you friends and family to catch up, start a fresh sheet if you've spoilt a relationship or whatever like that, get to know you niece/nephew even closer, well at least know the closer ones even better all if you're paranoid over getting married with you're own cousins, socialise and put your ego aside. 

you'll eventually lose out if you're not even close to your relatives. i mean if you end up dead, who's going to pray and bury you. and knowing that well probably end up in hell for the bad sins we've done, we need their prayers to help us. that's what one of my uncle remind me and it's my turn to remind my little cousins/niece/nephews. it's my reponsibility already by the look of the age.

good night!

the way of life

extremely bored of staying at home. mom was already gone to iftar when i woke up. that's a whole lot of sleeping through the day. and so i had a plate of fried beehoon left on the table. still hungry. still not done even though i had cup noodle a moment ago.



munching on snacks and staying fit like always. a couch potato in progress and waiting for some kind of inspiration to stop myself from this awful habit. haha! for now i'll just sit back and watch the world as it spins itself from day to day.

on a lighter note, hari raya is coming! ^_^

most of the time

that day was "arm robbery" at the floating platform(lol!) yesterday was brothers birthday but he's at tekong training recruits. and looks like it's been 3 days in a row that i'm dating my mother for buka. little sister is always home late, caught up with cca and whatever not. father is working day shift most of the time now.

for the past few weeks i've been at home doing nothing. my waking up time will always be around 1-2pm and my sleeping time will be around 3am. it's just unhealthy. being online, facebook-ing and watching the tv almost the whole day while waiting for the break fast. and on random nights will be slacking with the usual suspects. which brings me to mom getting mad for coming back home late at night.

i'm such a lazy bum! but i manage to pray 5 times a day most of the time and so far i never skip fasting. it's an achievement which soon will be rewarded with hari raya. yay! i can't wait.

a lot has been going on in my mind. headache!

i think i just not get myself technically involve in such activities. i think i want to be a bbq chef! 'cause i found some rub and marinade recipe which looked and sound awesome. hmm... maybe i'll put it to test. someday.

oh, i've organised my best photo's i've taken on my devianart portfolio.

http://saufiz.daportfolio.com/

it's a good start. and more to come.

baybeats just now

The Great Spy Experiment. they're still the best.

i noticed that i wrote a lot of junks on the last post. hahaha!

doesn't matter much bitch

at crawlspace with the ahjey's last weekend. can't say much about the chunkfest audition and the junction 8 charity show. performing was already great even without the crowd. the most rubbish days ever. since the fasting month, gigging come to a slow. so more time to concentrate on some new materials and going out to get inspirations, hopefully. school is out by the way and i got nothing better to do but hang around. hahaha.

i'm still relying on my parents for god knows how long. they quite irritated in some ways but i don't care. i'm going home late more often now just for hanging out with the usual suspects which i love to do. i've been smoking loads like always. still stuck with old clothes. cleared up most of them and left practically little whats left. i've been using my brothers' stuff and got him pissed and complaint to my mom. but i don't care. i'm still stuck with skinny jeans and tight t-shirts and stuff. one of my jeans tore on the backside because it's too tight. i woke up in the afternoon most of the time and always on the internet especially on facebook. i randomly found myself on the flstudio fiddling with rhythms and beat trying to make a "song" but i think it sucks in the end. i like watching cooking shows since i was young, even documentaries and stupid animal shows. i cut down on watching cartoons which i think i'm becoming more mature in some ways. and yes i'm still single, still finding the right one but i really have no idea what am i doing most of the time. i've not been dating for like a year already so you know the rest. every night on clear night sky i'll open up my bedroom window and stargaze till i fell asleep. and on random occasion i'll sit under my block stoning to nothing or hang out at the corridor and watch the sunset. it's beautiful. some nights i'll have insomnia and it's really irritating. some nights i'll just get a little emotional when the past kept creeping back on me like an asshole and make me look like a pathetic loser. yesterday, mom really got upset when i told her that i will continue to smoke till my dying days. she don't really care about me that much like before and that's pretty great.

now it's for the music and the friendship. about love, it's hard to say but i've been having crushes on multiple girls and i find it amusing in a way. easy say i'm searching for a wife material not some puppies that i've to take care of everytime she get's into deep shit. i'm very very selective.

so, "my life is so wonderful and miracle". kudos.

oh, some minahmakesureyoushavefragrancehotel just added myspace for whatthefuckreason there is. do i have to say more... tsk!

the day before puasa

dinner at newton - hazreel's treat.

talking to that little rascal can really make my day. somehow.

and down to fareast plaza & floating platform at bedok reservoir.

playing overseas

footage at taman perling, johor baharu, malaysia.

and going

today's gig at *scape was cancelled due to some stupid admin problem as said by the organizer. i can't believe she said that last minute. it doesn't matter much to me 'cause of the "satisfying" set of bands performing. but i was disappointed that i couldn't step my foot on the *scape on the 8th itself.

next two weeks, there'll be a gig at Junction 8 for a charity gig. then there'll be a rush down to *scape gig by the same organiser above mentioned, on the same day if this gig happens. yea, i'm not that contented anyway. it's going to be a hell of a day that day.

alright, on the 23rd there'll be a gig at Crawlspace at Straits Records. yea, a day after a day. it's going to be tiring and by then i'll be awfully lethargic. it's fasting month, so yea. that's it about Crackerjack's gig days.

my life revolves around this band thingy besides school. basically that's it. about school work, it'll soon be over and i hope i pass all my subjects for graduation. i'm so looking foward to that day.

about my love life, hmm... there's not much happening. it's like when you like someone so much that you cried before sleep, looking at the picture and realised after that you're in love with this person. and there's nothing you can do about it when all you get back is just uncertainties. *sigh*

anyways, happy national day!

a break soon?

last 2 weeks taman perling, last week at ite clementi, this saturday at *scape, 22nd at *scape and junction 8, 23rd at crawlspace. much of a singapore tour already!

introduction

the song is finally finish. track 1 - introduction. behold my creation. hah hah hah! urgh... tired. later today another gig. will be at ite clementi from 5pm onwards. i have not recovered from the jb trip yet. still drenched in shiokness and now another one... and the week after till fasting month. happy, yes! but how i wish we got paid. hmm...

ok, the weekends is near. time for another song.

argh, orgasm! hahaha!

almost redundant

probably i found this blog already redundant. 'cause my photos are all on facebook. and i thought of quitting blogging.

time to stargaze before sleep.
