Sunday's sunday
I was late! Promise to meet osh at Jurong East MRT by 945. I came at 10 (sorry dude)
I was practically forcing my eyes open and dragging my battered body out of home. I was that tired. Saw the "tissue paper one doller" auntie. She sure was dressed up for SUNDAY. She was wearing yellow from head to toe (no kidding) Prolly she wants the sun that badly. I feel for her...I miss my sunshine too.
Went over to the Chinese chamber of commerce for our performance. Never expected a Malay wedding to be held there. I mean..the front entrance kinda look like a Chinese temple. Well it sure was an experience. Fusion people...this is what the new world is all about*. Anyways, we were the first to arrive.
We hit it off at 1230pm sharp. Lenny was a bit under the weather....sigh....so most of the time...we have to cover by playing instrumental.Im sighing cos I was expecting to hear my fav classical songs after so long. Anyways, apparently the bride is Fatah's cousin if im not wrong. Small world.
Ive never seen so many preety gals in one function before. This 'majlis' takes the cake
Hahaha. ( I messed up a few beats today, I think you know why *wink)
Koko: Next song lagu salam laksmana
SB: lagu apa?
Osh : Salam laksmana
SB: apa?
Yanto : Salam laksmana
SB : Asal tak cakap siang2...alamak
Osh : Tu ah yanto..asal kau tak cakap siang2 (coyly)
Yanto: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( im seriously too tired to entertain this)
There was a point whereby we keep playing joget songs. Im a bit drained at this moment....need smthing to keep me awake...
Osh : tak ke tak tung tung (joget)
Yanto : Thats what im playing (slightly annoyed)
smthing happens to cross our line of sight.
gendang: tak tak tung tung
SB : woit
Yanto : (grins coyly at him)
gendang : tak ke tak tung tung
After the show, we all went to KTM (railway) for dinner (fath if ur reading this, dont be jealous). I ate alot in such along time. Im feeling guilty for that (weird). I had yong taufu with maggi curry. We chit chatted for a while before heading home. Im dead beat.
SB : Kita mesti hargai budaya kita. Generasi awak semua nie terlalu banyak budaya barat.Dari, kebaratan, kita kena ada tahap realisasi. kesedaran atas siapakah diri kita. Selepas itu baru kita boleh terima kebudayaan.
The wise old man never fail to impress me. His conversations are never dull or a waste of time. Theres messages hidden in them. If you manage to unlock them, then alhamdulilah. that ilmu is yours.
Anyways....let me share with you some of the best performance we had (personal opinion)
This is a song called 'adikku sayang'. I really miss working with the kids. Hope we have another 'bengkel' soon.
* The writer wishes to emphasize that fusion is good provided that one knows about his roots in the first place. So ignorance in this sence...is not bliss.
can`t you even see through me? `` Sunday, December 09, 2007
