Yup,i know i had abandoned this pity blog for two weeks.I will change my blog layout and content soon.

Just back to here for awhile…..to conclude what’s happened in my life recently.

For my internship, finally, just left three more weeks then we will end our internship officially. However, this is not an ending terminal; we will continue our last academic year in university and struggle with thesis after one month holidays. Thank God that this internship provided a bird eye view on the actual process happening in the industrial line. The knowledge learned and experiences gained are beneficial for me for the coming years. However, the most important thing that I realized throughout the internship is HUMAN RELATION AND COMMUNICATION is extremely important, especially when you face with people from different background.

For my band, after UM Dayao concert, there has no any practice or jamming anymore, everyone just step back to their own position, work hard for studies, for thesis and word hard to become a so call cheap labor in factory , like me, ha. Dear drummer,weesim passed his second year medic course final exam,so he will be going to klang for his 2sem practical and get one step closer with his DOCTOR dream......erm....But when i look at him,there has totally no any smell of doctor get out from his body!like a clubbing guy more,haha. So,thats mean we need a new drummer to replace him and so fortunately,Raymee willing to join us.New line up again...good or bad??ha,don't know.

For my bass.....haha.After UM Dayao concert,i stopped practicing bass as my right middle finger is too painful. Then during March,i went to gym too frequent until totally no energy to play bass when reach my room. During April and May,something has happened,i started to feel like having no inspiration to play bass,just feel that my future in music is blur,i can't find a reason for myself to hold the bass again.I decided to take a rest for some period.But i know,being rest for too long will make me give up in music after it,so what i do is to force myself to listen to music,to attend gig,to watch friend's jamming,i know,i can't give up so easily,this is my dream since i enter uni. Similarly,i didn't find my shifu Chris for four month, before enhancing my lousy music theory, finding him is just a waste of time and money.Finally,Sim has recommend our band to perform in a upcoming charity gig,Grooves in Motion3.Yea,there is a gig in pub,I always wanting to perform in pub!Thanks to SIM so much,thanks for him willing to chat with me and encourage me,i need to motivation in this period!And what i know is: I won't give up!

For photography,i decide to put it aside. It is useless for me for just view other photographer's photo without any practical.I have no my own DSLR but once i get my salary after graduation,i will get it!

For my own....erm....i always think about my own life.Sometimes,i'm envy to my friends,or other batchmate in college.Their life is just normal and simple,everyday go for class,then take a nap when back from class,night play DOTA,dating wf gf/bf,chit chat at lobby,watching drama and download drama.I really feel strange about drama and tv programme right now,or more correctly is:i lost my interested towards them,i think it's just wasting my time when i watch it.During my idle time,i will practice on bass,band discussing and preparation,listen to many songs for reference and online search something which is useful for me.I can't differentiate which one is true and false?why i make my life so complicated?or this is good for me?Ha,but what i think is:using time to play DOTA and games,or watching drama is totally waste my time!and i won't do it.

I know,I'm going to be a 4th year student in campus soon,graduation is just around the corner.It is useful for me that i have get to know with many people,not only in college,and i got the opportunity to chat with them who are elder than me.Ya,i always concern about my future.Zhiqin praise at me that i have such kind of thought and always find better way to increase my life quality.I know,I'm a man,not woman,it is not possible for you to feed a wife in KL without RM5000 monthly salary,but right now,salary for fresh graduate(engineer) just RM2400-2600,so how?there is the question i need to think about!

Right now,i'm facing with financial problem.Damn,my laptop spoiled!!!my laptop never have problem before,but once it have problem,straight away prompt up the BIGGEST problem:motherboard!!!WTH!!!i need to buy a new laptop,no choice at all!!WTF HP,i won't buy HP anymore! got any recommendation for laptop?

Ya,laptop spoiled had ruin my own plan for this two month.I will travel Taiwan with hometown friends next month,i just want to find a new environment to refresh my mind.So I always find part time jobs to earn some pocket money for this trip.Until now,i still haven achieve my target,some of the supervisor still haven pay the salary to me!Moreover,our dearest UM bendahari just announced that every undergraduate is compulsory to clear their fees before next semester registration,aduuuui,Money shortage now!!how?i plan to cancel my Taiwan trip,at this critical period,two HEROES are appears in front of me,ZHIQIN say he will lend money for my trip,then my best hometown friend SHENG say he will be giving my some cash to sponsor me.......T.T get touched!i know,speaking by mouth and doing by hand are different,but i need to admit that i feel warm when i hear from them.Thanks!but i will settle myself.

I never feel stress for money before,this is first time,but i still keep smile in front of friends, hope that GOD will let me know the best solution after it,or worst,just cancel my Taiwan trip....ha!~

Last,if you read my sentence at here,congrats and really thank!you are survived from my broken English,you are concern about me,willing to spend your time to watch a so long post. leaving a comment to let me know that you are here!yoohoo....

Gambateh for myself!

Movie review: IP MAN2

Bookmark and Share   


For those who are interested or haven know the synopsis of IP MAN2,click my previou post:If i'm IP MAN master,i would

I was invited by nuffnang for the IP MAN preview screening on 28/4. Still remember on that day,after back from office,time shown on clock was 6.15pm.I supposed have enough of time to take rest and have a nice dinner before i go out.But,my headache was back to me again and tortured me continuosly........at last......

Ha,sorry,i should write my review now instead of those bothersome word...lol

Many friends around me give a good thumb to this movie,but for me.....sorry,just ok ok for me,i know i'm a high expectation guy.

Storyline is too common and no surprise at all for me. Description of characteristic of characters are not deeply and what we can say is: "too cincai" !!!This is a biographical movie,so you would get dissapointed if you are the audience who looking for high-tech graphic effect,or some spectacular scene like《2012》,or dramatic love relationships. If compare with《Bodyguards and Assassins》,《IP MAN2》just like a "lower standard" class movie.

However,the fighting scene between The twister and ip man is quite excited and impressed me,every movement look so real.Director has successed to convey the important of mutual respect between people from different background and spirit of chinese martial arts.

Simple say,it's still a movie that worth to watch in cinema.So,what's your comment about IP MAN2?

Rating;7/10
 ip man and bruce lee

Extra: haha,do you saw some posterswhich mix up ip man and ironman together?

Road Trip with My Broadband


Bookmark and Share

This is an article for project alpha 2

Currently, I'm busy for my next month road trip planning. Finding friends to go together,booking hostel,arrange the time table.......ha,just as a celebration after i finished my half year internship life. And this time, Port Dickson is my destination.

This is not my first road trip, so i have gained experience before and know what should i bring along with and what preparation i should do now. But, one thing special for the coming road trip is, A mobile broadband would be my companion throughout the road trip!

I admit that, I have totally addicted with internet surfing recently, for blogging,facebook-ing,finding part time job,check mail,Youtube-ing, watch news and more.With a mobile broadband along my road trip.I can share the latest information about what's happening on and around here. Besides, i can share my travel stories, photos instantly with friends,net-friends, and blogger.

We know that,Malaysia has not provide free wifi services throughout the country. You may face with difficulty if you reach the area which has no internet connection if you know to settle some important thing by network. urgently. But nowadays, technology made nothing impossible and you can get internet connection easily with a mobile broadband in your hand!

When think about mobile broadband, fist thing come into my mind sure is P1 Wimax WIGGY ! It’s the 4G technology that can speed up to 70Mbps around the 50Km radius wireless coverage. It is tiny!you can bring it along your road trip easily!


At last,catch projectalpha season2 episode 8,9,and 10 below and remember to answer an easy question everyday at Rummz.com!






Project Alpha Season 2 is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS

关于本地中文独立音乐


Bookmark and Share


说起本地华人玩摇滚...
来来去去都是受到beyond影响(早期)
后期呢? 比较倾向于j rock~
有的甚至组团打流行歌曲的~
这是受到卡拉ok文化影响~

中文摇滚在本地实在是太少icon了~
我们少了值得学习的对象!

黄火昙花一现,黄明志过于不成熟~
香港lmf算是曾经引领过一段风潮~
但是很快的那群孩子们也“乖乖"的回到自己位置了~

我们依然被强逼接收着那些主流咨询!
我们要反抗,却没有精神领导(更多时候是懒得寻找)~
在这前提下,多数华人对独立音乐/摇滚的观念是很空白的
他们玩音乐依然想象自己能被媒体第一个提问
希望能到综艺节目通告
希望台下女歌迷们激情呐喊...

独立音乐有的不是着一些
当年独立音乐之所以诞生
就是因为部分年轻一代们厌倦主流音乐的做作欺骗
但是自己热爱音乐,所以在车库里跟同好搞乐队
并用卡带记录下粗燥的小样
他们都是punk, 这也是次文化
音乐跟次文化脱离不了关系~

在提前一些,我们说说摇滚的诞生~
摇滚前身就是blues乡谣~
后来被猫王搬上舞台~
变得更加通俗,流传也广了~
在这之前,音乐是属于宗教,宫廷和贵族们的消遣玩意。
古典音乐,交响音乐,爵士等这些都是服务这群”小众“的

因为摇滚的诞生,把音乐更加平民化了。
普罗大众都能享受音乐
这也延伸出一种乐种——pop
pop和rock可说共生的~
rock有着年轻人反抗叛逆态度
成为主流后,也就是pop了~

从猫王到披头四到再来black sabbath等
进入一股hard rock哪代,或者heavy metal
别以为重金属是属于地下的
重金属曾经是世界上最流行的乐种~
就这样庞克出现了
他们厌倦重金属明星的明星气质
就有刻意更这些摇滚明星做对的庞克。

indie这个字就开始出现了~
到后来nirvana的grunge浪潮...
我们看到一个现象非主流和主流几乎没差别的
非主流随时可能成为主流,
主流分分钟被喜新厌旧的听众们遗忘。
这个个市还不断在重演着...

为什么?一切根源就是就是因为商业因素
次文化能成为主流,是因为商人们看重这些人的商业价值
并已帮助他们推广为招号
把他们推销成一股潮流~
然而来到现今世界
什么国际村,多元世界等
我们随时都可接受很多不同想法不同观念
独立音乐的定义更加的广了!
我们还要继续把自己停留在主流的声音里头吗?

如果我们真正喜欢音乐,应该投入去开发音乐更多的可能
不能把自己的偶像摆上不可超越的地位
我们必须更加了解自己的文化!
不排除主流乐坛也有很多想法的创作人。
但是他们真地得到应该得到利益了吗?
还是,唱片公司得到最多~
现在港台唱片公司表面上是推广音乐
实际上是在剥削音乐

资本主义社会下,一些都被大财团垄断
现在他们的力量过于强大了
反过来要求创作人跟随大众的取向走
结果音乐变得单元了
音乐人为了生存就妥协了
甭说内涵
甚至
音乐的新意也失去
外貌之上的错误观念已经横流
谁还知道什么真善美?

一些搞团的朋友
因为不喜欢港台流行,转而投入日本或欧美摇滚
对于这类朋友们,不要否定自己的祖辈文化
我们受到外国文化影响,要清楚知道什么是值得学习,什么不是属于我们的
这样作品在超前的同时也会更加坦白更加有内涵。

这是黄火他们一直说提倡的。
音乐造旨会比较难突破
刚开始我们都离不开模仿
但是我们可以尝试用属于自己的语言唱回属于我们文化背景的东西~
千万不能鄙视自己的文化和母语
要知道,我们的母语也是属于这个国家的一部分!
独立音乐需要的是更加真实和坦白
开始写自己的歌曲是第一步
用自己熟悉的语言来创作就是第二步!

黄火至今,到扩音和动态度
他们都好像董教总一样自己在制造着这个环境~
他们从来不是闭门造车的,他们比谁都积极接触友族的独立音乐场景
这些年,我更加看到改变~
爱好音乐的友族朋友,他们会听日文歌曲同样也会听中文
他们不会鄙视中文,他们听的是音乐!
语言不是最重要的!


很多时候,华人玩摇滚只是局限在流行摇滚(或偏流行的乐种)
这才是他们不会接触的原因
他们对音乐的格调都很高

真的喜欢就会全情投入。
甚至自己的一生。


所谓的格调
就是怎么评定一支乐队的好坏

同样,本地地下音乐也是很多没新意的
为什么有些乐队能跟别人不一样?
就是乐队自己的概念了
概念明确,路向也明确
气势赢人一筹

这个就是关乎创作者的个性了
过程,你会更加了解你自己!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

呵呵,不要怀疑,这文章不是我写的,想看原文请点击摇滚已死——代夫洛克壹壹柒的文字与音乐空间。原著是zhong min,我的音乐好友。zhong min是大马独立音乐的主要推手之一,本身是个graphic designer,所以会帮忙一些独立音乐活动画海报。

我记得我们第一次会面,是在SS2的火箭餐厅。他的确对音乐有很深的认识,很熟悉大马独立音乐的一切,更重要的是他很有自己的想法,不会盲目追崇,这是我敬佩他的地方。他有自己的乐队,乐种偏向brutal metal。由于我自己也只是个学生band,大家玩的乐种不同,所以我们在音乐上很少有接触,我们真正接触到的,是彼此想法上的交换。

进了大学创作坊三年,始终觉得缺少了什么东西,对,就是一个独立的思想,属于自己的创作。我们时常可以听到音乐人在创作比赛鼓励参赛者要接触多元化的音乐,创作更多不同的风格,但到最后看到的,还是千遍一律的ballad song。歌词除了拍拖就是分手。乐种除了pop就是ballad,啊不然就是轻摇滚。歌的编曲就是first round没full band,reintro后进drum再full band,bridge后静8beat,之后再full band到ending,ending时还不忘唱多一句尾chorus。

问题出在哪?因为大家都在跟着“流行”两个字走,创作最大的成就就是“卖歌”。大家都开始爱从流行的角度去看在每一首歌,只要没有流行味道的,或是偏离流行结构的,都被批为“不好听”。也或许,是华人对音乐的接受程度太低了,你不可能在华人流行音乐听到metal,不可能听到funk,听到electropop。

我没有指望创作坊能够创作非主流歌曲,但起码创作要有自己的独立想法,自己的风格。我们是否要依据大众的喜好来创作,还是依据自己的品味来改善大众的喜好?

最后,和大家分享一首很好听的曲子,很有post rock的味道~
