i'm still here

so recently i came across to some jokes. it goes like this:
what do you call someone who is cold and a jerk. the answer?
AN ICEHOLE...

i didn't get the joke but hopefully someone out there gets it.

and some good news, i have my own band. my band is called, The March-Mellows. its because we are very mellow. and march, its a cross between a marching band and the month of March.

and unfortunately one of my band members wasn't here this week, so we didn't go for any practice, instead i went out with my friend who just recently came back from matriks, Nazwan. yeah he's back, cracking up more jokes and something he does thats very funny that none of my other friend can never do, and with long hair he looks like shah rukh khan. no seriously, he even admitted it...hahaha

but on a lighter note, there was a PIKOM PC FAIR last saturday. so the four of us went there, me, T-man, Nazwan and tman's brother. anyway the place was crowded, but good news this time is that the fair was a lot bigger than last year and the attraction is a lot more, and the girls promoting the stuff are getting more eye catching. yes its true, not really but you get my point. i did found this cool new CPU that looks like the transformer robots, but brownish orange, and cost rm 5,xxx. i don't really know the price but it cost at least 5 thousand ringgit. and as always at a pc fair,the carpark was always a problem. we parked at parkson and had to take a long walk to permata carpark(yes the pc fair is at a carpark). how ironic is that the carpark did not have enough parking space. i don't get the irony but some do.

so i didn't buy anything when i first went, in fact i only went once there, but i did told my brother to buy a mouse for me. he was going there to buy a new High Definition monitor(yes we just bought one, but my laptop does have HD too) that my father wanted, and a new video card. with the newly bought video card, i could play rise of the argonauts, finally.......

without the video card, all i could see was chunks and blocks and slowly moving character killing something t red and yellow. now i could see jason(the argonauts) killing a chimera clearly. thanks to the video card, which is nvidia.

and today is monday. which discreetly means that its a bad day for everyone who has to work, have school and/or class, but to me its a wonderful day. because i'm having my midterm break this week. and just this week, i have no other plan. but this friday is good friday, not girl friday, meaning that most of my friend have a day off meaning i can do something, maybe call the band together and jam, or something. and the goodnews about nazwan coming home is that he can be our new camera man. thats right a new camera man. our band started off with a camera man who turned into our manager( Eee-In) then a camera woman (aishah) then another camera woman(T-Man's girlfriend) then another camera man (Opiey) and now maybe its Nazwan...

and since i'm on the subject of explaing about my band, i really want to explain how it all started:

before i was playing in my own band, i was a drummer who used to jam with my cousin (Gay).most fontunately the type of music that i play is different than his preference due to his nature of being such a poser, and he changes song like he changes clothes. so i started bringing T-man along as a spectator then becoming a camera man, then he started to sing radiohead's creep, so i wondered what if we made our own band, of course i always wanted to form a band with him ever since we were still in highschool, but back then it was a Hip-Hop band.

so anyway, i just let the thought play in my head for some time. as time went on, T-Man's cousin came along to kuching, they are from the Peninsular. anyway we started hanging out, and then we went jamming for 2 hours. and in that time, we brought along Gay, we played all sort of songs with me of course on drums and Gay on guitar. T-man was still watching and sang a few songs. but Gay was always there ruining the song. so afterwards we learned that T-Man's cousin have a band back home. and we were like super jealous, but not really. anyway after that we decided to form our own band. without including douchey Gay in our band.

while the process of thinking about forming our own band, i kept playing drum for Gay untill this one fateful day, the week when T-Man was having his midterm break. so we started off by wanting to go out for a day out doing something stupid in town, and we brought along Eee-In. so while thinking of wanting to do something, T-Man suggested that we go jamming, and i said okay, but who will play the guitar, and he told me to play because i can, and then the question was who plays the drum. i asked him to play the drum but he say he couldn't, then who would sing. so then out of nowhere he suggested that we bring along a friend from his college along who knows how to play the drums.

anyway we picked him up and went jamming. as it was fate, he turned out to be a great drummer, seriously. his name is LuLu, BTW he's a guy.anyway a day after, we wanted to go jamming again, and LuLu suggested wanting to bring out his uncle, who we first thought, bring an old guy jamming? so we went along, and we found out later he wasn;t old. he's a great bassist and he could also play other instruments well too... his name is Zack. and thats how we all met... and then of course we started jamming together, and jamming until we all agreed to form our own band. and that is history told from the eye of the guitarist of March-Mellows.



this is just some picture of us that i cropped together...

anyway, The March-Mellows will rise soon enough....
