Now Listening: Necrophagist - Symbiotic In Theory *Song of the Week*

Greetings once again from umm err.. Mars. Decided to blog since I've got nothing else better to do so here I am. Rocking like a rock rocking like a rock like a frog under a pig. (inside joke)

Well anyway, yesterday was yet another gig day for me. Concert D' Selatan.

Began the day with me waking up with a strain in me arm. "Man did I "broke" my arm or something?" Well yeah. Was still dazed upon waking up. Oh yes. I woke up at around 0830hrs in the morning from being KO'ed at 0251hrs before that. Since then, I found myself in my room. With the walls lit up with pale yellow crimson orange fury of DOOM! BRO!!!(yet another inside joke)

!!!ALL HELL BREAKS LOOOSEEE!!! (yet another inside joke)

Well yes anyway. Thought that I won't be late by waking up early. But being the undisputed super procrasinator that I am.. yeah go figure. Supposed to meet up Ifran and Imran at around 1200hrs at the usual meetup point at the platform 'last cabin' area @ bedok MRT station. Got out of the house at 1145hrs. Panic panic. Which caused me to run back home when I suddenly thought that I forgot to bring my handphone. My mom always ruled.. "Don't live home without it. Just like underwear." I've always obeyed this etiquette except for the latter part sometimes. Turns out, my cellphone was in my sling bag all along. Hah. Ran back to the bus stop and waited for the bus. Bus arrived circa 7 minutes 26 seconds and 287677 moments. And off I went.

Thought I'd forgot to bring or rather.. put in something. Twas me batteries! For my discman damn. I was then forced to look out the window staring blankly into space thinking about how lonely I was (everytime during lonely bus rides)[one way or another] and how wearing a Swat t-shirt neath a newly bought shirt (7 months ago which I'd never wear before) repels em teenage girls away cos I looked like an inflated balloon. Anyway. Arrived at BINT. :D looked at my watch.. 1220hrs. Its a perpetual curse! I will never be early for meetings ever.. except for school.

Walked briskly. Got to the platform. Went to the area. But no 'Gothik Slayer' Ifran. Looked everywhere. Around, under, above until to the point where I got pissed off because I thought I got ditched for being late. SMSed him. Few moments later. I turned and there he was. Yep. Boarded the train which arrived shortly. Talked about bands and all. Listened to some anonymous brutal death tracks in the train. Imran couldn't make it so he will be meeting us at Dhoby Ghaut. Got off at City Hall and waited for the train. When Imran popped up behind us. Haha. Made our way to Dhoby Ghaut to meet up with MIKE!!! Got off at DG. Met up with Qadir, with his full thrash metal get-up. Cracked some jokes and made our way to Bishan. I already began stoning to what remains to be yet another long day. The usual crap and band talk.. non-stop as always. Before we know it, we were already @ Bishan. Met up with Nahar and Wan of Flames of Dignity/Arbitrary Element. FOD's last gig together. With two other people. Didn't catch their names. Went together. Made our way to the bus interchange for another long journey to Thomson. We bought some drinks and sat around to wait for the bus.



Bus arrived around 10 minutes later. Made our way to Thomson. Talked about FOD and all. Qadir being the rowdy just stood in one corner and listened to his discman. Me, Imran, Ifran and Nahar talked about FOD and all. Nearing to the bus stop Nahar got up grabbed his guitar, grabbed his bag and nearly when tumbling. Lol. Carried for him. And then yearghhhh. We walked and waited. Waited for the gig to start.

30 minutes passed. Me, Imran and Qadir went to McDonalds. Ifran stayed around with the FOD guys.

Another 30 minutes passed. Made our way back and the gig still hasn't started yet. Sat around. Went in and paid our tickets. It was still during sound check. hmm that was around 1600hrs. Got to check out Prosatanica. Woohoo kicked ass. A small vocalist with a HUGE voice. All the way from indonesia heh. Cool! Then it was FOD's sound check. Abg Wan told us to wait outside for the official gig kick off! Went out and then got in again haha.

FOD was the first band. Impressive yet quite a sad performance as as it was their last. :\ Took some videos and a couple of pictures. Message me for em. Ifran was a guest vocalist for their third song which was "Walking The Dead". Ifran's voice was powerful! Power! FOD got to play only 4 songs instead of 8 due to the 2.5hour delay. The turn out at this time was erm.. well lets just say.. the hall was empty.



Cynical Annihilation was up next. Took pics. Impressive band! Haha. Covered paranoid by BS. Bassist was out of this world. 6-stringed John Myung-influenced. Heh.

After that was some grindcore band. Headed to McDs again. Slacked. Ifran and Nahar joined us later. Sorry for the less detailed write out now. Hahaha. NGANTOK AH! Well yeah. Slacked with FOD. Had some drinks and then returned to the gig. A local death metal band. After that it was Ephemeral. After that it was some Black Metal band. After that I got tired. And slumped in one corner with Qadir. Spread eagled. Slacked ass during two bands. Got up and joined the crowd again when Noxa was playing. Grindcore. Filled with energy. I got into my 'almost drunken' stupor again. It goes like this..

1) Not walking in a straight line.
2) Yell out stupid things to people.
3) Talk crap.

Yes. Well yeah. The last two bands were great. The End. Which were Noxa and Prosatanica. KICK ASS!!

Bands of the day: FOD, Noxa, Prosatanica.

The crowd was rather boring throughout. There were more Indonesians than Singaporeans I think.

Looking forward to Deathsynth and Arbitrary Element next week at XM2. See you all there. woohoooooo.

ITE SIMEI HERE I COME O_O!
