Okay, so you have all seen the fucked up side of my 20th birthday two days before the day itself, there is actually more to it and this 20th birthday has got me thinking a lot. I shall not elaborate on that side of the birthday, because there are actually good things that happened on my birthday, and I somewhat regretted not fully enjoying it for keeping my head occupied with shit.
So remember how the previous two nights before my birthday, 5th December 2008, I screwed up the celebration with my girls? Well, a little after the the crying session, I opened the presents, and cried some more through little smiles and laughs when I opened the presents.
The girls gave me a voice recordable teddy bear that I have now named it as Heyhey, and whenever I click Heyhey's left hand, it'll play FOUR voices that matter to me. Three of them are the girls, and another is the voice of a kanina face. HAHA I love it, I brought it along with me to Grind Feast and to the Angels and Airwaves show. Heyhey symbolises the girls and I can just see myself hugging the little fucker whenever I miss them girls. I have yet to go to sleep with Heyhey HAHA.
ALSO, my twin bought me a watch, knowing that I don't wear watches anymore because I break every single watch I own in moshpits. So she got me a watch, that I now name Crack, and it literally says CRACK on it, and she says it is advisable that I wear them in moshpits, which she knows that I won't because I don't wanna break another watch. It's a little big, but it still tells me the time, so I love it.
Also, I bought myself gifts for my own. I got both Paramore's The Final Riot DVD and (finally) Trivium's Shogun DVD package on the 3rd December. So here's the two DVDs with Heyhey and Crack.
Remember how I was whoring out the Grind Feast Singapore show?
This was a day before my birthday. Well it all went well, minus the fact that the crowd was mainly made up of the bands that was performing on that day, the fact that I missed Cardiac Necropsy's set (sorry uncles, I watch next time, k?) and that Wormrot's and Asilent's set was cut short because of venue restrictions and shit like that. A lof of production shit happened on that day, but it was a great day because I get to see my death metal brothers (you know who you fuckers are) after a long as time. I didn't really camwhore that day as I had promised myself to, maybe because my head was still messed. I HAVE YET TO TAKE A PHOTO WITH ASILENT, FULL BAND. GODAMMIT.
Emile has now turned into a matrep. Right, Udang Kering?
I have a spastic fanboy, in a form of Asilent's guitarist who happens to be my cousin.
Photos from Grind Feast Singapore will be posted soon :) Keep a look out!
And if you follow on MySpace, there was once that I said I might go for the Angels and Airwaves show and that it was going to be on my birthday? Well, I went. I am not a big fan (truth: I don't know their songs). And if I were to pay for the show, it will only be due to the soul fact that Tom Delonge was in Blink 182 and I had a punk rock crush on him. Oh did I say IF I were to pay for the show? Yep, I got in with a photo pass and a free ticket. And for this I would like to thank Michael Hosking of MIDAS Promotions for approaching me on the coverage of this show and SHOUT! for just being SHOUT! haha. It was something to look forward to for my birthday, instead of staying home and feeling all tensed.
I went in thinking that Tom will not win my heart ever again after the Blink 182 episode, but I ended going home thinking that he knows his way to the heart mine and relive the silly punk rock fangirl that I was for a little bit. ONLY because he performed There Is, a Boxcar Racer song (if you're a Blink 182 fan you'd know this song), and stay the same funny ass Tom that we all know. The whole night, I was just wishing that it was Blink 182 instead of Angels and Airwaves, because I miss the full force funny ass punk rock band.
It all started with Indonesian band Self Control as an opening band, they have a crazy ass drummer (in a good way) and their front man talked a lot to the crowd, which I thought was good. And since the front was already filled with people (there was no photo pit), Fiona (who was covering the show for MTV) and I went to the balcony where the media/press can access to. Unsatisfied that we can only take photos from one angle and that we only have basic camera kit, we waited for the the open act to exit the stage where the crowd were slowly instructed by the security to go back to their seats. Yep, it was a seated show.......yeah.
Photos of Self Control's set will be up soon, around the same time with the Grind Feast photos.
And when Tom entered stage, everyone started screaming, and I was right in front of him. Godamn, this guy is a tall as fuck. OH WAIT. I shall continue this Angels and Airwaves part of the story on a separate MySpace blog when the photos are published on SHOUT!'s New Year issue, so do look out for alerts! Nyeheh.
I would like to thank McGirls for just being the McGirls that I love, Asilent for being awesome brothers of mine, Blindfold Hero for being amazing bunch of friends who just makes me laugh at just the sight of anyone of you, everyone at Grind Feast that made me smile even a little, every familiar face at the Angels and Airwaves show that didn't make me feel alone, my mom for making me realise a lot of things from just that minute incident, and every single one of you who wished me happy birthday, be it on MSN, MySpace comments or msgs. You are all very much appreciated. If I forgot any of you, or anything that happened within these three days, do claim your part through MySpace comments.
Thank you so much, all of you. It's nice to know I will never be alone, and I don't ever need to feel alone. You have all brought a whole new meaning to my Aidiladha, especially McGirls. Again, thank you.
Till the next blog, be good.
