Price Hike - Dream Machine Sings It Loud

One of those Malaysian Hero... No comment but it is a cool song from the Kuching Homeboy who sang 'Sui Lan Ciao' & 'LPPL' I still love their old songs though... One of their best. This one... not too bad but when you listen to a really good song, it kind of spoil your taste i presume?

.:Price Hike:.

I hope to see their MTV on the 2 famous songs which made them famous in 2005's Battle of the Band though. I was really amused that night back in the old day... They are the Dream Machine. I still miss the original line-up. However, what's done is done. Not even god almighty can change the past.

I killed the Garra Rufasssss T_T

2 weeks ago on a nice Saturday night, I finished half bottle of Tuak. Walao.. the power of tuak is unexplanable. Almost felt like drinking a nice chilled chardonnay.

2 weeks ago on a sunny Sunday, I killed 7 fishes. 7 god damn Garra Rufas which I've evilly planned to do my own skin theraphy with.... but the fishes decided to die instead of eating my dead skin i guess.... Oh well, it's all fate. I think the fishes died because of the long tiring journey from Batang Ai and the water was too little for them and i fed them with KFC chicken! (I'm not stupid... just that the guys from Batang Ai said the fishes eat chicken too... but my water is still whereas the waterfall's water naturally flows away and oxygen supply is always enough) Actually I am suppose to get the fishes certified as what it is so I 100% do not have to do another trip to Batang Ai with whoever it is if necessary.

Garra Rufas are small fishes also known as Doctor Fish. It can cure skin diseases. How? They bite away and eat all your dead skin and for more info, just go to http://www.google.com/ and type Garra Rufa or Doctor Fish coz i am lazy to explain.

Good news is it can be found at Batang Ai. All you have to do is 4 hours drive from Kuching to Batang Ai Jetty, book a room in advance and stay at Hilton Batang Ai Longhouse Resort at RM309++ per night inclusive of breakfast for 2 person and use the hotel's long boat for a theraphy treat to the beautiful waterfall at RM180 nett inclusive of Packed Lunch per person. Where you are away from the hectic traffic and air pollution while enjoying nature and swim in the waterfall. Breath taking =)

It's worth it instead of using Air Asia to Kuala Lumpur and stay in Tune hotel with the taxi to Mid Valley for a RM150 half an hour fish theraphy $_$. Although there is similiar treatment in Kuching somewhere near Jalan Song, but i think it is nothing comparing to the natural habitat of the fishes itself although in the untrusted wikipedia mentioned that the fishes can only be found in Turjey or somewhere like that... hahaha well yeah. There are garra rufas in BATANG AI! Borneo.. the land of head hunters! my home!

Oh well, another photo story of the whole expedition and the Little Fish Project of mine...

.:When I reached there... found this big guy:.

.:Oh man he is big alright:.

.:45 minutes long boat ride to the waterfall from the resort:.

.:My gowd... i will die if i have to stay in a house like that without INTERNET:.

.:The waterfall and Sadin our boat driver:.

.:The fishes doing their thing:.

.:Oh ya i visited longhouse and bought some Tuak too haha:.

Anyone keen to holiday there... Give me a buzz. I love nature *When I'm packed with Mosquito Repellent* The mosquitos at Batang Ai are not so bad.. it's just me and my stupid body that attracts the mosquitossss by nature =___='''

1st Windmill Attempt

Going to gym 4 times a week. Spending so much precious time there trying to achieve a dream is sometimes quite tough for an out going person like me. I sacrifice my yam cha sessions and time with my family and friends.Therefore, I shall enjoy my gym session to the fullest and make it meaningful.

1st you can imagine you are the Pharaoh of Egypt in the hunting expedition

.:Me next to macho man Tony:.



.:My suppose to be Expedition:.

Or else you can....

.:Close your mouth with your towel and laugh at other people while gossiping:.

and finally when everyone has gone home... you can try doing stuff that you have not master for example my cacated windmill... oh well, to be honest I think I can master it pretty quick with lotsa practise. Here's my 1st video attempting to do a windmill without proper momentum and limited space... enjoy laughing coz I look like a kid spinning on the floor begging for a toy in supermarket and ended up almost kissed Tony's boot! Too bad my free downloaded video converter can't convert the whole footage coz it's very funny... i just want to know how i look like when i try to do a windmill.... hahahahaha

.:10 seconds of embarrassing act but still it is my attempt.. i got nothing to hide:.

Batang Ai here I come!!! T_T

Tomorrow I will be 5 hours away from Kuching again but will be back on Saturday evening i presume. Thank god I am Single with no commitment. Run here run there all the time like nobody's business... well it is nobody's business. hohoho. Actually my heart is in Kuching painting the studio on Saturday but since it is an assignment to escort a VIP to Batang Ai then I presume I am more than happy to do it. XD

Interesting fact is I get another 2 days to visit the Nature. Not everyone gets to do it all the time plus the stay, transport and meals are provided with comfort. Yay! What I am interested is to go to the waterfall for a little project I am planning to work on. About the project, I will post more about it once I get back from Batang Ai. Wakakaka

To entertain myself before 2 days away from technology and even DIGI has no line there, I would like to share with all what I did last Sunday Night at Carpenter Street. =) I witnessed the best 3 on 3 Bboy Battle in Kuching ever! Soul Higher being my number 1 favourite team represented by (Derek, Sidewalk and Hafiy) got 3rd placing, whereby H20 our movie actor mates got 2nd placing and Champion was lead by One Soul. Congrates to all the winners and to the bboys that has the courage to participate in the battle.

Photos of the winners

.:2nd runner up - Soul Higher:.

.:1st runner up - Sayang BBoy (H20 team 1):.

.:Champion - One Soul:.

Here’ the video between the champion and the 1st runner up for your pleasure. Kuching standard is getting better and better. One day, I hope to see some of them go International. As long as they don’t bite, be original, add on their own flavour and with no doubt, they will grow stronger every day.

I know I am long winded and philosopher wannabe… so what? Now.. saddup and watch the video.

.:One Soul VS H20:.

Bgirl Jess

Not only she's damn good. She's hot too!

She is my inspiration. The reason why I realize that gym is a place to be 3 months ago. Today I am feeling better, stronger, healed and ready to start rocking the floor. In another 3 months I will grow to a new person. I hope... hehehe

Here’s her video and see how dope she is… I just don't get bored by watching it over and over again.

Check her out at http://www.myspace.com/bgirl_jess

And I’ve been thinking of a name for myself for bboying since many months ago… looking at Bgirl Jing coz that's my real chinese name 晶 .

The meaning

JING 精, 晶, 京 m & f Chinese
From Chinese 精 "essence, perfect", 晶 "clear, crystal" or 京 "capital city".

Men At Work - I come from a Land Down Under

The song is fantastic and the video clip turned me ON... hahaha enjoy...

I come from the land down under

Travelling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Buying bread from a man in brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, do you speak-a my language?
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Lying in a den in bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?
And he said,

Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

I don't understand... Why PLUR?

.:Kandy:.

I Don’t understand why the Live Bands community in Kuching uses PLUR as their favourite quote. The 1st time I heard RDZ saying that was in one of his show. My eyebrow went high high almost touched my hair coz I don’t understand what was he talking about.. is he refering to the same PLUR i commonly hear and say among my raver mates or what? The 2nd time was in UKOI’s flyer and now… in EjalTV’s bulletin in myspace.com

Well, I don’t understand so what? They have their own reason and as long as they don't misused with the quote and they enjoy and love what they are doing, it’s not wrong anyway.

What’s the big deal about it? Well.. it actually is not so much on a big deal thingy. I just want to make sure everyone knows the origin of PLUR coz I love to Rave and now I am officially proud of how the word PLUR expended into the Live Bands cultural.

PLUR = Peace Love Unity Respect

PLUR or PLURR is an acronym that stands for "Peace Love Unity Respect", a credo or mantra of the rave culture. Many in the rave scene have heard this term at sometime or another, although its common usage is relatively recent. Early 1990s and mid-1980s ravers often followed similar principles, but did not use this coinage to describe their beliefs.[original research?] It may be interpreted as the way that a raver believes he or she should live his or her life, and how people are expected to behave at a rave. This philosophy of the rave culture often takes precedence over any chemical aspects of the rave scene.

PLUR can also be viewed as a more mainstream variant of its predecessor LPE (Love Peace Ecstasy), because it removes the drug reference. LPE was mainly used in Europe in the early 1990s, when the rave scene became a youth subculture

For more info about it, go visit Wikipedia..

When I see The World Upside down...

.:Carpenter Street:.

Ma Diet

August, I started to monitor my diet habit.

SINCE AUGUST

I started taking coffee every morning coz the office got a very high tech coffee machine which you can choose to make yourself a cappucino, expresso or just coffee.. but today I got tired of it coz I left my favorite mug in someone’s office and it’s GONE!
Conclusion : No more coffee from today onwards

I started taking breakfast confident that my body needs energy to boost up the metabolism system.
The Result : I put on 2 Kgs since then without looking any fatter coz I exercise and visit the gym frequently
Conclusion : No more breakfast from today onwards (maybe just light malt drink)

I became 7-Eleven’s loyal customer. I get a Big Gulp at least 4 times a week.
The Result : Not sure. Just know that it’s bad
Conclusion : Cut down on sweet drinks

SEPTEMBER

I started vegetarian diet since 1st September for a month (target mar). It’s not totally strict as in even if it is chicken soup, I’ll still take the soup.
The Result : Still waiting as I have just cut down on breakfast and soft drinks
Conclusion : On Going process

Wish me all the best in getting rid of some extra fats so I can work on things that I am working on.. For example the simplest BABY FREEZE =_________= I goddamn can't do it coz my legs are short, excessive fats on my love handle and the thighs are big....

The Art For Tribezone Mini Studio's Office

.:Brushes:.

I am planning to paint my office with a Rising Sun on the wall behind my desk. Not an original idea but I have purposes to match it with my sofa and the Pearl Habour's Japanese Airplane PVC Poster as the curtain.

I also I know that according to Feng Shui, SUN actually can cause the Yang Chi to be so strong that it might affect the relationships with the colleagues in the same office. Anyway, I just have to decorate some other things in the office with Water Feature then. For me in Feng Shui, it is all about how individual feels. As long as you feel good and you believe that it is good isn’t it? No point following all the Feng Shui instruction and having your home and office looking like shit eh?

Why am I talking so much about the office and Rising Sun? Cos when I was searching for the photo of Rising Sun before I start my painting work on the wall, I found a very cool site which provide brushes of Rising Suns for Photoshop. So I decided to share with everyone. *Click* for link that leads me to those brushes!

Cheers *with a glass of Tsing Tao*

MASS CORROSION II

Mass Corrosion II~~~

.:MASS CORROSION II - Official Online Flyer *click on the image for bigger pic*:.

Tribezone has confirmed the event with 2 celebrity Melbourne Shufflers in the year end event called MASS CORROSION II. It will be the 1st event with the main squad of Hardstyle Republic’s appearance in the East Malaysia.

This post is about introducing the two dudes and the group itself for all my readers who are not shufflers or still very new in Melbourne Shuffling.

Hardstyle Republic was previously known as Hardsequence back in 2006 until February 2007 and later changed their group name to Hardstyle Republic after confusion caused with Hardsequence itself as it is also an event’s name. They were also flamed and mocked by the Negative Minded Melbourne Shufflers for calling themselves as the event’s representative and all the negative comments.

It served them right for mocking the group because after they changed their name to Hardstyle Republic, it sounds even cooler and they had eventually got very famous after that. They were champion in a enormous International Dance Festival organized by Time Square KL and by using their new name, Hardstyle Republic. The group has now expend to Sabah, Spain, Australia and even Netherland

Hardstyle Republic @ TImesquare (The competition that made them famous)

Apekwhuut has been with HR since the beginning and he is the guy that will drive from Johor to KL just for a meet up or usual Park Shuffle. I met him personally last year in Cheras Downtown when they were still Hardsequence and proudly, I will tell you that he is very friendly and helpful because being only 1st time meeting up in person, Apekwhuut and Amirul gave us a ride back when we almost had to walk to KL just because some asshole promised to come and send us back to our hotel but didn’t show up at all..

Cheras Downtown is a night market next to the bicycle stadium where they have bundle stalls, accessories, clothing, bags, food, drink, Melbourne Shuffle performance for public, Bboy showcase and Karaoke for fun. Ajam aka The Gambler previously called himself as Khaiyoshi was the 1st person who introduced himself and invited us to shuffle along. He was also the finalist in one of the singing competition in TV called Gangstarz if not mistaken.. Nice guy

.:Me, Elvin aka DJ Jellybeanx & Apekwhuut @ Cheras Downtown:.

.:Ajam & Elvin aka DJ Jellybeanx getting to know each other:.

The video of Hardstyle Republic in Cheras Down Town.. Cheras Downtown rock! I got items all from the Bundle stalls! Hehehe

Cheras Downtown Show

HR has done a very good job in promoting the dance itself and publicized their group for the whole nation. Here’s a Video of Ajam explaining about the dance and the cultural itself.

HR ON TV

Back to the celebrities =)

Apekwhuut Hardstyle Melbourne Shuffling

Hardstyle Republic (MAS) Musher The Rainbow

However, they will be in Kuching to spin as Djs not to perform as shufflers. Why? It is because they have evolved from a dance group to a Dance, Djs, Event management & Clothing aka Merchandize group. They have produced their own Djs, own merchandize and managed to organize events for all the Melbourne Shufflers to shuffle together in an event organized by shufflers. However, they will migle around with everyone as they don’t come here to work. Just a holiday event with Kuching! Isn’t it great? To be in an event done by the same interest people?

Here’s the video:-

Apekwhuut spinning in the recent Melbourne Shuffler’s activity at Bukit Jalil.

Musher spinning in Infekted (Infekted is a very famous event in Melbourne and the one he spinned was the 1st ever in Malaysia)

They own an active Forum which most of our young Melbourne Shuffle generations will log on to. They post in activities about Melbourne Shuffle itself. The link is as stated here http://hardstylerepublic.teamconvention.com/republic.teamconvention.com/

All the long write up is to convince everyone that it is an event you will not regret going or to send your children for an exposure to the West Malaysian Celebrity Melbourne Shufflers. It is indeed an event not to be missed and the earlier you get your ticket, the more affordable it gets.

On top of that, Hardstyle Republic's Guo Sen will also come with their merchandise that is selling like hot cakes and Tribezone will be blasting off our own stock such as Reflectors, wristbands and suspenders.

Frankly I love Hardstyle Republic because they are friendly, Apekwhuut has always supported us by buying Tribezone’s phatz and even backing us up when red eyes competitor started to mock us long long time ago... long story.. hehehe and most of all, their concept of the whole group thingy plus they are PURE. Not just as the best Melbourne Shufflers, but instead expend to a lot more creative branches. They are doing what they love to do in a fun way. That’s part of everyone’s dream job.
