hippp city

Electrico’s new album is out.
Check out their new music video from the link right at the bottom of this post.

And as for other music things..

Dashboard Confessional’s new album is coming out, or might have already hit the stores.

I’m still wanting to get my hands on RHCP’s newest album which i heard rocks.

My band is currently still working on our debut EP. Laying down the guitar tracks to 2 of the new drum tracks that I laid a couple of months back. It’s going pretty ok. Slow, but steady i guess. haha
Hope that the EP will be ready by year end or early next year.
But i think documentary in amber is gearing up for a debut EP instead of a full-length debut album. We already have some material ready for our debut full-length album, so we’ll see how it goes i guess. A debut EP would give us a chance to gauge a response to our stuff. Hopefully with it, we could clinch an record deal. muahaahaha. Who knows? =)

I also wanna get the new Goo Goo dolls album. Edgier and heavier than their older stuff, nice, but a little low on cash, so shall have to put that purchase off till another time.

Do check out electrico’s website. Pretty well done.

That’s all for now. Band updates another time. =)

too much too soon

Haven’t been updating in quite a while as I have been pretty busy. Busy with work, and usually too tired after a long day at work to update. So, this is probably a long overdue update.

I think the next update will be on music. Electrico’s latest album is out. And i think i’ll buy it just to support them. They have done Singapore’s music scene a great favour, and so far, i’ve only talked to one of their members (desmond), and he’s a really nice guy. Maybe it’s coz fuzz introduced me to him, but he’s quite a nice funny chap.

So, last 2-3 weeks, eka has been back. It has been a great time of catching up, just like old times. Quite sad really, how our friendship over the last 3-4 years has been like that. We get to hang out for like 2-3 months on end, and then it’s back to minimal contact with him over in UK and me back here. But it’s good how we’ve managed to stay really good friends, and are still pretty much best friends until now. Well, 2 more years to go and he’ll be back for good. yay. =) But I’ll definitely visit him in London in the next 1-2 years! Earl’s Court residences. heh

And job-wise, things have been going well. I really enjoy working with my team, and am pretty much up to speed with the work and all. So that’s great. Learning new stuff all the time, and getting the hang of things around my job scope. Of course trying to learn stuff outta my job scope too, so that I’ll be more relevant to the team, and thus will put myself in a better position to get converted to perm. =p But for that whole perm conversion thing, I guess i’ll have to wait and see how it plays out. Gotta keep praying about it.

Been on a dutti spree lately too. So much so that eka’s been calling me duttiboy. But their shirts are really nice and well cut. I think they are pretty reasonably too, coz for that price, you do get quality. They are waaay better than zara shirts. And even Raoul shirts are becoming quite boring. Typical designs, and getting increasingly common. Furthermore, the Dutti sales have been great. Got a shirt and 2 khaki pants during the sales. For really reasonable prices too. So Massimo Dutti is one of my fav brands for now. Do not get fooled by the posh store facade, coz it’s only marginally more expensive than raoul and zara. And you do get the additional quality for the price premium, and I would dare say the quality increase is more than proportionate to the price premium. Maybe quality for Raoul shirts is not really the distinguishing factor, but the cut and designs of the dutti shirts definitely do appeal to me more than Raoul shirts.

Enough about that fashion talk ranting. haha. But work clothes are expensive.  Too bad one still needs a decent working clothes wardrobe though. And moreover, one needs to look the part if working in a bank.

And the latest update, would be me plucking out 4 of my wisdom teeth. Just 3 days ago on friday.

Hurrayy.

Got MC till friday, but I’ve got work to clear. And furthermore with my graduation ceremony coming up, no choice man. I need to go back to office asap to get my stuff done. So, I think i will be resting for one more day tomorrow, and then get back into office on tuesday. Garang huh. haha. Such garangness would not have been existent during army days, where the word of the moment is chaokeng. =p
But working life is very different. So yeah.

Gums still feel weird, and aches. Still can only eat porridge and really soft stuff.

That’s all the updates I have for now i guess.

Graduation ceremony in 5 days.

Graduation dinner in a week, at the very nice CHIJMES hall.
Looking forward to that.

Music updates coming up soon. =)
