me? musician? performance artist?

I am still in shock of this sudden news (MK told me last night).

Along with him, me, chi, Simon and Sheiko will be performing at C&C (that's Cloth & Clef for those who don't read short forms).
We have a band now. I think we're going to take this seriously, and take Malaysia's mainstream experimental music (sound? noise?) scene by storm!
Rock you like a hurricane!

Anyway, I'm very nervous.
Wish I don't puke on stage. Kbyebye.

I'm sure not all of you know that I co-founded and managed Kurasaraksasa! since 2007.
I was really proud of it, yes.
Being really busy with that and even contemplated on quitting college.
Too busy to be depressed.
Organising, replying, meeting new people, amazing people, interviews.

It was great until... well, I suppose we all grew up.
All of us were more mature, dah masak ngan perangai masing-masing.
Masak. Menyampah.

I was always shy and reluctant to talk about Kurasa.
Even to my parents. It's not that I was ashamed of it, I was (am) just really, really shy.
It was an achievement I wanted no one to know.
When I meet new people and they remember me from my Kurasa days, I look at the floor or cover my face and groan, sometimes thinking aloud why why why.

Ohai Yuna. The two middle backdrop panels were painted by GG and I. This was for YouthRawr! by Bedroom Productions, 2007. I remember she sang a song that went "Empty is what you are".

Those 2-3 years were great.
Working with GG, Ben, Naim and Irna were great, along with many more people.
It was great.
Really.

It's just that... when faced with questions about my achievements, I feel I am not worthy.
I did Kurasa merely because I was bored in college, my brains were melting.
I don't think any of us continued working for Kurasa because we wanted to be famous, or to inspire people, or whatever.
Like I said, we were too busy to let anything settle in.
By the time we took a break, we finally realised what we had done, caused.

No wonder people say I'm really fat now. LOOK AT MY LONG HAIR I CRIES NAO
This picture was taken before the meeting we had about some set design thing for BMW Shorties, a project yang tak menjadi. Mehmehmehmeh.

Well, I'm writing this because I'm updating my portfolio, and I figured I should fit in some of Kurasa's projects in it, because it played a big part in making my resumé fancy schmantsy.
I don't want my interviewer (sp?) to think that I faked Kurasa just to get a job.

Looking at the pictures, of course I miss those days.
From the first day, the uncertainty, the getting to know each other, seeing how they worked, don't know why people wanted to interview us, the anger and frustration, the lovelorn (some of us were seriously lonely), getting everyone to work with each other.

Still my favourite picture of us. Naim had and will always be my black ass nigga.

Best Artshow in the Univers website is up!

http://www.thebestartshowintheunivers.com/ copy that if you rajin or CLICK HERE if you malas.

Our friend Shobee will be making cupcakes (for us), dulu dia pernah buat yang ada lavender. Good stuff I tell you.

BTW, for those who don't speak or understand Chinese language (like me), this is the translation for the song in Longing #2 by chichi. I finks is pretty song.

I am waiting for you to return, I am waiting for you to return
I am dreaming of your return, I am dreaming of your return
Wait until you come back, let me show my love
Wait until you come back, you dismiss my love

Why don't you return, why don't you come return
I have to wait for your return, I have to wait for your return
You're still not back, the light of youth is no more
You're still not back, hot tears overflow onto my cheeks

Oh wow, 2009.

I want this book!
Pentti and Deathgirl by Emma Rendel.
I quite like this too, which I think looks like a cross between Ladyesah and Dura, who reminds me of Irana Douer.

Today is Father's Day and I don't have the heart to tell him his Transition glasses are annoying.
Cuba teka mana satu Mr. Anatomy '78 a.k.a my dad.
Shuz posted a picture of her mother when she was young, and I sometimes think if I'll grow old and look like her.

Just watch the video. Ada surprise, uUUUUUu.
Off to Batu Arang now, bye.

Prized Possession: Antares and Roger Putra

Initially, Antares said his prized possession was his Macbook and Mr. Johnson (if you get what I mean), so I told him I was going to take a picture of him and his Macbook (obvious choice).
When we talked about my project, he said no one can really possess anything, and decided that his horny dog, Roger Putra should be in the pictures.

I didn't notice the dog's penis while shooting. Only saw them just now when I was going through them photos.

I'll be honest with you, NOT HAPPY with the pictures. Mnyeh.

magick river 2

Antares asked me if I was engaged, and I said yes, to this girl.
If I were a dude, I'd totally screw her. In a nice way. Malangnya buah hatiku dah berpunya.
I can't imagine George in a pink Baju Melayu berseluar singkat sebab dia tinggi.
Your dad is up to something, Moozammah.

Pictures from the Mamiya coming up tonight!
EXCITED because I only took 6 pictures or so!!!

annoying.

I wrote and drew a book/zine last year called 'I don't talk to strangers', and this year I feel like the writing bug has bit me.
Maybe also because I feel another predictable depressing fit building up.

So fuck this shit, I'm drawing another zine titled ' My negative mother'.
