what's going on?

My car was hit last monday, so i practically got a lot on my mind, and lost my head in the process of reporting, reporting and reporting! At last, the car is in the workshop, waiting to be repaired. And it's time for me to return to my normal routine, blog!

Here's few things i noticed from our sunrise gig. The foreign workers were always around. Last year they're on the fence on the first floor. All the doors/passages were locked this year. So for this year they're sitting on any common area they could find. From the look of their eyes, one can tell these are the die-hard music fans. They sat there the whole night, only making occasionally trip to the loo. Hmm... Also we missed the nice food courtesy of the surrounding outlets. Last year, we had vouchers from Zakuro! This year we received none. Hmm... Not much people turned up at the workshop. i was there around seven thirty, thinking i was going to miss the whole thing. But there's only a few people when i arrived the venue. How could one miss a complimentary workshop by our jazz maestro, mr. gambus? Was it because of the rain? Also if you're using a 7.0 meg digital camera, do me a favor! upgrade to the 512MB memory card. Mine was full loaded after few shots. Luckily my old trusted nikon was there. Managed to take few shots of our good friend, the sax guy, Julian. Sorry Jul, i tried my best. You could always hire me next time!

Few things that works well here. Performing in an outdoor arena with alfresco dining is totally different from a small club. Fast and upbeat songs are always a good pick. Be daring and take risk! And the most important part, tolerate the heat! It's so warm that everyone was sweating and soaked. i was glad that nobody passed out. The "GruvAvénue" had a lot of fun, playing original compositions from their recently released album. To the wonderful audience and those who are reading these, once again, thank you!
