The Script
The Script are an Irish trio whose music boasts the kind of artful twists sure to turn all preconceptions on their head. This is a whole new brand of Celtic Soul, blending hip hop lyrical flow with pop melodiousness, state-of-the-art R'n'B production with anthemic rock dynamics, classic song construction with gritty contemporary narratives. It's got all the emotion and passion you would expect from across the Irish sea, but it is glittering in its modernity, universal in its singalong addictiveness and global in its syncopation, music for the feet, heart and head. Think U2 versus Timbaland, Van Morrison remixed by Teddy Riley. "Irish people have soul," according to Danny. "It comes from generations of pain, and generations of understanding emotion to be able to physically get that in a solid sound.". A particular favourite of mine is 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved'. I was surprised that they made it to the MTV Asia Awards up in Genting Highlands. It is once in a lifetime chance to see them almost live. Well I was at the other side watching the live feed. Doesn't matter made my day anyway.
It was five months ago that I last wrote anything. Five months in the world of blogging will get lots of people to raise their eye brows and give you that 'when are you ever gonna write' look. Lucky for me I don't have people following my blog. Unlike some very infamous bloggers, whom I think, are overrated just because they write interesting things about what is happening currently. Well I shall not name names hahaha....but with due respect you deserve to be where you are..
Well what has been happening to me for the last 5 months? I quit my job at what is said to be the best place to work in the industry I am slaving for. Half of what they say is true...the other half well let's just say 'BALLOCKS'. No offence but sometimes it really gets into your nerves when people starts contradicting themselves or even put on a pretentious face in front of you and then goes around backstabbing later on. Many more things I shall not elaborate further but you get the idea. I manage to produce my last shoot for a Tourism Malaysia campaign and it took me to East Malaysia. It was a very good experience being in the jungle one week and then the beaches the next week. Though we were together with the TVC crew and that made a lot of hell working together as we both wanted the same things at the same time. It was madness, total utter madness but it was all good as there were some proper communication in the end the see that we both get our stuff. Unfortunately, I am not able to put up any images as.... well due to strict so called P&C protocols but will definately post some once there is green light.
So where was I.....hmmmm...oh yes....I quit my job and now I am running a photography studio together with 3 investors who also are photographers themselves. It has been 2 weeks already and now...I have more free time, freedom to decide things on my own instead of going through someone somewhere who sometimes can be blah blah blah.....The first few days was really difficult getting used to too much time in my hands to do anything I want anytime. Now I am getting the hang of it slowly. Slow start yes but I have patience in my hands. I always believe that in due time, good things will eventually fall in front of your door steps.
In the past 5 months, I manage to go back to my parent's more often than before. With the tremendous amount of work I have in my hands it was really difficult sometimes to go back during the weekend. So when i actually go back it does put some smiles to my parents and sibling especially my Maid. She always have these wide and glittering smile whenever she sees me coming through the gate into the house and she would make so much noise. I talk to her quite a lot also. Let's just say our bonding time is when we are watching TV and thats where the conversations come in. She never fail to put on that smile of hers every time we do that. All respect must go to her and she single handedly takes care of the daily affairs of the house. Even looks after my aging grandmother who is now in a not so healthy condition. She is one those very I know who treats Chilly like it's a candy. You should see how much 'cili padi' she puts in every meal she has. Your jaws will drop so low it will never come back up.
In the past 5 months, I met new friends, I lost a few, some good and close ones who does not pick up your calls and hasn't seen them in yongs. Friends, well I am glad I have a few very good friends who will be there for me when I needed them. I would always do the same for them. Some, I begun caring more and more as we spend time hanging out each week. Some new friends who just made the world an even smaller place to live. Some whom I have yet to meet but already begun talking like old friends. I even learned some new term...I didn't know some people use the word dense as being stupid. Got me laughing my undies off. Some friends got me watching HORROR movies. YES!!!! HORROR movies. Now, I am the kind who die die will never watch horror movies as ( yes... I am embarrasingly telling you this ) I get nightmares after that. So bugger off and don't you dare get me to watch anymore horrors.
In the past 5 months, I slowly drifted away from cycling and played more football/futsal. I have always been a slave, slut, fanatic ( whatever you call it la ) of football & futsal. Now I am playing regularly 4 times a week though it was not as easy as it used to be. I thought I would still have it but I realize that I am like 30 years of age thinking that I could do many things I did when I was in my teens. The speed, the tricks, the magic.... just reminds me of the good old days. Now...hahah with bones creaking after every session, pains in the ankles and knees and the fat...yes the fat...just wheezes away all of those which I had. Damn the idea of being able to afford to eat anything you want.
Why am I still writing in the wee hours of the night? Well I just can't bloody sleep. Sue me for all I care. I have this slight problem of sleeping at the right time. I developed this when I had all the stress in the city in my head. Worrying too much over my job...and a few more other things. So i guess it kinda got me used to it. It seems that there is not much I could do about the sleeping problem but to live with it.
So anyways, I now really cannot think of anything more to write as ...No. 1, my fingers are sleepy, No. 2, my leg is also falling asleep and No. 3, my brain...well let's just not get there shall we..
