I strongly urge you guys who are live music deprived to come and join this event at Bing! coffee house. Kudos to Justin for his effort to promote our local music scene and I hope this act will be one of the many to come.
So see you guys there!
That’s how I feel right now for spending most of the time at home not knowing what to do. During day time, I’ll just linger around the living room watching Discovery Travel & Living and slept throughout the evening. When the day turns into night, it’ll be my turn to get out of this house and drive around with friends scouting for any new hangout places.
The thing is that I don’t like to stuck at home for a long time. Being glued to that travel channel make me even more desperate to go and travel around the world like what my cousin did last year. I know back there in Down Under, there’s a travel company that offer such round-the-world package for students at a very cheap rate.
For now I’m just not sure if I could be able to do that once I graduate before turning to a worker’s life. Some more, I have to get a job back in Down Under straight away so that I can secure a permanent life there, knowing that the prospect of my job is very limited back here.
Well, at least I still get the chance to explore the rest of Down Under this coming semester, hoping to have a go ahead plan to meet up with my travel freak cousin Louis in Melbourne. From there, then we can come up with any sort of impromptu plans. For now, he’s looking forward to shark cage-diving. You know us… especially the three of us, including his younger brother, are the only daring freaks in the Leong family. They already did sky-diving and I’m looking forward to that plus bungee jumping.
All for the love of seeking adventure and exploring new places like on TV.
I was having a long chat with my best friend on so many stuff that happened throughout last semester. I talked about Perth’s life (which is awesome of course) and he talked about his experience of being dumped again (and we butched a lot when comes to that). Don’t worry about him cos’ he’s actually a chicks’ magnet. So the conversation went on and on till we came across this topic.
Throughout my life, I’ve met different types of people in terms of their personalities. But never, till this day, that I realized I had actually met so many weird people… you know, weirdos… those fecking weirdos… The fact is that I never had the chance to piss them off. So I think this should be the right time to vent out my feelings.
This so-called hypocrite friends, they pretend to be nice to you but the fact is that they are doing that just for themselves. Like, you know… knowing that they were once your housemates and you all used to hang out together but when they found a better companion elsewhere, they won’t gonna give a damn on you and decided to tag along with those other weirdos. Poor little guy wasn’t even invited for a movie at all.
And those things actually happened to me last time when I was back in that hot oil town…
How about a situation when someone gives all sort of promises or even advices that they sounded so good but ended up backfiring to that same person. Clap clap. Well done, weirdos.
I hope this doesn’t take much time for some people who read this post to realize that “OMG, that’s me!”.
Geesh… just go and piss yourself off. 
Just to let you all know that I’m back home in Malaysia. I flew back to Kuching last week and decided to come to Miri for a week just to meet up with my girl and to perform together with my so-called famous band for a Leo function which was held last night. Performance was crap as I dropped my drumstick once and the drum pedal thingy flew off… hahaha… laugh all you want.
I don’t know whether it’s just me or not but the weather here in Miri’s so freaking hot that this sticky sensation on my whole skin will never let go off me for as long as I’m here. Who likes to take bath 3 times a day anyway.
I’ll be going back to Kuching tomorrow and just give me a shout if you guys wanna do some sort of crap or something. And nah, don’t think I’ll make it for this year’s Rainforest Festival unless someone is willing to sponsor me a ticket. Hint hint!
The past few weeks had been very hectic for me. Yea yea… so hectic that I decided to get this revision off my mind and all I could think of is updating this freaking blog.
As usual, I didn’t do anything interesting since everything’s in Aussie dollar for a poor guy like me. At least I got a part-time job working at a Mexican restaurant just down the street from where I currently live… well, I stopped working to concentrate on my final exams and hope that they still have a place for me when I come back here for the 2nd semester.
Oh yea, did I tell you guys that I’ll be coming back to Kuching on the 21st of June? So excited… and all I could think of is doing the right thing that all Kuching-nites at overseas would do when they come back home…
F.O.O.D.
Sigh… now I miss laksa… and the only laksa I’ve eaten here is the one made out of vegetables…
Stupid vegetarian laksa…
2 weeks ago we had a field study at The Coombe and we had absolutely no idea on what to do with the report. It was on that very stressful day that I had the most expensive meal ever… you know, just to ignore the stress.
And all I got is some expensive foods on top of a plastic plate, with a plastic knife and a fork… like, wow…
Today, we revisited the place again and I’m really thankful that finally we understood the objective of our work. It’s such a big relief though, knowing that there are 2 craps due by the end of this week.
Ah, the sweetness of life… only for temporary.
Tickets bought from eBay: check!
Be there at the venue by 3pm: check!
Buy poster: check!
Buy the tour t-shirt: check!
Free pizza while queueing: check!
To no veil, reaching the venue 4 hours prior to the start of the concert’s worthless. Crowds only began to fill up the line at around 5pm with free pizzas being given from the back line. But heck, I managed to steal another slice of pizza when you know that it’s 1 slice per person. Ah, who cares… like I care cos’ I paid so much for the ticket anyway.
Gates were opened at 6.30pm and my left foot got stuck at the stupid turning door, thanks to those bunch of girls screaming and yelling like they can’t wait to get hold of their space at the front stage. Freaking annoyed that they didn’t know what caused the door to be jammed, so I yelled “my foot! see! my left freaking stinky foot!”
So we were in and got the best view of the stage, like not too near or not too far. Like you know, we’re just in front of the barriers which separated the area between the first and the second general admission ticket holders. As predicted, Kaki King and The Mess Hall did the opening act for an hour and they’re quite good on stage. What else to say that The Mess Hall are only made up of a duo: each on guitar and drums.
Then Foo Fighters came…
And you know what… that is the first and best concert I’ve ever seen in my entire life! Nothing can describe the fanaticism of the crowds when they took the stage with Dave Grohl making everyone there screaming his name.
Heck we were even entertained by the best triangle soloist ever! And darn Taylor for doing his solo on drums… so good that he’s referred by Dave as Perth’s favourite drummer. And I’m surprised to see Pat Smear, the ex-guitarist of the band to be part of this tour.
My favourite part of the show is when Dave Grohl started to play Everlong and sing along with the crowds in acoustic style. Here’s the video of it.
With the exception of the sounds, the pictures here are enough to describe how awesome the concert was… it could be the best in a decade… or even for a long time.
Wow… I really did miss out lots of things to share with you all. Lets just say that we went to Fremantle (or better known as Freo) to attend this drum workshop at Fly By Night, which was held last month.
Surprisingly, not many people turned up for the clinic and it wasn’t the typical drum workshop I expect it to be… you know, full drum set… and it was actually focused more onto world beats: djemba djemba etc… It was hosted by an Irish percussionist called Wayne Sheehy and the best part of the workshop is that it is free.
Although feeling dismay of how the expectation turned out to be the other way round, boy we had so much fun that I almost fell asleep during one of the workshop sections.
Hmm… At least that made up my list of 1st-time experience.

I know I know… it’s been more than a month since I last wrote on this so-called blog of mine. And that makes you all wonder… why am I back again with all the same crap of saying “oh, I’m sorry for the late post and I won’t gonna do it again” yada yada yada… Pissed that cos’ finally it’s week free… well, only for a week though. And I got 2 exams coming up right after that. So it ain’t a week free anyway… apart from getting the comfort of sleeping like a pig everyday.
Speaking of that… erm… week free… Do you have any idea that this Monday, there will be something big going on in the city? Foo yoh… maybe some jet Fighters swooshing festival thingy? Nope… how about this…
Yup… that’s right. Foo Fighters. And I’m going for it.
So cheers!
That’s my residing street.
And there are still so much things to do around here that I totally disagree on people’s opinion that Perth’s boring.
Geesh, I’m just scared that this blog will turn into a photoblog cos’ of the great picturesque this place has to offer.
So… adiós! City’s awaiting me again.
