hommous and beef
i think i expect too much from people
just because i always try to put up a happy front, even when its not so easy,
that doesnt mean everyone should.
the good that i do should not be driven by the anticipation that the favour is returned to me.
i do it because i want to.
im happy, you dont have to be.

susuk the movie
it was disconcerting, to say the least.
the lead characters name is soraya
people call her yaya
she wants to be a singer
but doesnt have the whole package.
sound familiar?
and having this big boom bass hantu-like voice constantly calling out to soraya throughout the movie certainly didnt help matters either.
and yes, soraya did turn to susuk and ended up a monster. she also ate her friend, aptly named ma(r)s. heheh
* * *
"susuk keramat itu boleh membuatkan seseorang umpama dewa di atas bumi"
then came a voice amongst the audience
"hmmpphh, sekarang dah ada botox"
3 guesses who it was.

ELEANOR: LIARS
fachry: hehe maaf ya soraya, we didnt play maliq. we knew that the only way to make u come was to tell you that we were gonna cover maliq
itcnk: it was the only way to make you come. without you here it would feel so empty.
mamad: nanti kalau dibilang deftones, we were afraid u dont know them or dont like their music
agung: that, and you can take care of our stuff and operate the camcorder heheh
*tak guna*
soraya: so who u playing next week?
useless boys: MALIQ & D'ESSENTIALS!
soraya: useless!
1. dont underestimate my music taste
2. i mightve gone anyways if u wanted me to
3. because the dj/soundguy is quite cute. haha
ah but to be honest, i thought you boys played really really well this week. you sounded tonnes better than last week for some reason.

forget our restless destination
so theres this new performing arts cafe in desa sri hartamas called 'lepaq cafe'
the first time i caught wind of it was when fachry told me that his band (eleanor) and him would be performing there every saturday of august. he told me that i should check it out even if i couldnt make it to any of their saturday shows as he thought that i would really like the whole feel of the place.
but being a good friend of course lah i would want to watch them play, so even though i had amys birthday dinner to attend last saturday, i managed to get there just in time for their set which was at 11.
and he was spot on. i absolutely love the place!. im not trying to take a shot at a lame play of words but the best way to describe lepaq cafe would be that its very very lepak-able.
the usual lah, dim lights, sofas, cushions, carpets.
we were actually sitting at a table with low stools but vegamal decided we should do without and sit on the carpet instead. so we called the waiter to take away the table and all our chairs. upon seeing this, the dj/soundguy came over and told us that this was exactly the kind of concept they were looking for.
if you really know me, ud know that im the kind of person who feels much more at ease sitting cross legged on the floor with cushions and eating with my hands. i really enjoyed the place, plus fachrys old schoolmate who was visiting him fr jakarta decided to be nice and belanja everyone. so it was all good. heh
another thing i liked about the place was that i didnt feel like i had to go there looking my best like most other well known places people frequent to nowadays for gigs. i didnt feel the need to be overly sociable and conscious about what i was wearing/ saying. can just lepak lah. heh.
i liked it so much im heading over again in another 30 minutes or so. heheh.
well that, and also because eleanor is paying tribute to maliq & d'essentials tonight, besides playing their own songs of course (last week was incubus).
ok TA

asantesana
so to those of you who dont already know, im currently on an internship with the investment dept of Amassurance which will last a month.
this basically means i no longer have nothing to do during the day. i however welcome random entertainment after 19 o clock.
my mom is currently in kuwait where she claims the temperature is as high as 48degrees. oh what a glorious tan that would have gotten me.
i hope she comes home with a new hooker for me. oops i mean hookah.
