Looks like our search for a drummer who will practice and perform live gigs with our band continues. My old friend in KL has just opened a brand new lingerie shop and she has invited our band for the official launch, with media coverage! All I have to do is to compose a new set [...]

So tonight, I put aside all the potential social obligations, all the nonsense that I would have done in a routine basis. I sat down and tried to write something. Just anything.

After the session while we were heading out for food (that’s right EastCoastLife, I know you are going to ask: where’s the food?), I was still in trance and casually commented that it was the best day of [...]

Last weekend I had a stiff right shoulder. And because of this stiffness I got to appreciate how wonderful our shoulder joints are in terms of the degree of movement. If I had a stiff neck, life would have been a whole lot easier. I just need to move my head with my body pretty [...]
