One day, I would like to form my own Audio Visual consultant firm, maybe find a few partners (so I don't have to come out with too much capital). I think the name "L-novation Sdn Bhd" or "L-novation private limited" would make a good name. But more than that, I would like my employee to work with me in a team, where the purpose of work is to feel GOOD about life. So, this would be my to-be company office dress code and leave terms.
OFFICE DRESS CODE AND LEAVE AMENDMENTS
New Policy: Effective from February 2020
Dress Code
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better.
Sick Days
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
Annual Leave Days
Each employee will receive 104 Annual Leave days a year.
They are called Saturday & Sunday...
Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the Chronic Offender's category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.
Lunch Break
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
Thank you for your loyalty to our L-novation Sdn Bhd. All questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation, and key frustration form should be directed elsewhere.
Enjoy this light show, the lights were all Clay Paky Alpha Spot 300 HPE, which my company have one in the showroom, incredible brightness with incredible speed. Hopefully, one day I'll get a chance to program incredible light show like this.
RCF is a speaker brand from Italy, where my company invite a really tall guy with really strong Italian accent to teach us how to implement the RCF sound system whether in the concert, theater, or your bathroom (no lah, not in the bathroom, but I've always wanted to listen to some songs while I'm doing my business). So, it was held in Cititel Mid Valley hotel (the lunch was great!).
The whole function room was full of speakers
The Yamaha digital mixer. The faders are motorised, so it will automatically going up and down depending on your stored presets. Damn steam I tell you.
After the seminar then we proceed for happy hour
The seminar teach us how to design sound system so everyone in the crowd can hear the music
Just looking at this screen makes me feel like having an IQ equivalent (or more than) Albert Einstein
Do you know why the concert ticket on the front row is so expensive (even though standing ) compared to the seated row on the back ? See the diagram, the front row got the loudest and the sub woofer (which is usually put just under the front of stage) is nearer to them.. fuuh..
Now that the government has decided to revert the teaching of Science and Maths in BM, I am proud to say as a 1Malaysians, I had wrote 1song in 1BM (i know i overused the 1 thingy).
Anyway, have you ever went to some jabatan whatsoever and then had to spend like the whole day (or sometimes a few days) to get something done. This song is all about it, about waiting in frustration to wait for the pegawai to get our things done.
The song is called "Birokrasi", you can listen to it on MySpace or (if myspace is too slow) you can download it from MediaFire. Oh, you're welcomed to give some comments. Have a good day !
d.s. : now that the pegawai got my stuff done, Singapore here I come !
Guess what I got in my e-mail.. It was an urgent message from Mybank. (No, it's not a typo, it's MYBANK, not Maybank). Apparently they have blocked my account and they need me to sign in by clicking the link they provided in the e-mail. It's quite funny considering I only have account with Maybank and I 've never have any account with Mybank.
Notice in the lower left hand corner, where the link is supposed to bring me ? It pointed toward a bogus (BOGUS, not BAGUS) address where I assumed look nothing like Mybank but look exactly like Maybank. It's where they steal your login ID and password and they gonna clear your accounts like a crystal clear crystal.
But then, I think maybe someday I'll read in local newspaper about their bank accounts magically send money to a foreign accounts.
It is the month of August, on the shores of the Black Sea . It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town.
He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one.
The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.
The Butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower.
The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.
The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit.
The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.
At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 Euro note, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town.
No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is doing business.
But, my job is to teach the people who go to those concerts and control the lighting consoles how to program and run the light show. But at the moment, I myself is still learning the trick of trade, which means I got to play with the 5-digits price lighting consoles and another 5-digits moving heads. Oh, there were loads of speakers, microphone and amplifier in the showroom, so occasionally the technician switch ON the speakers and amplifier. WOW! Damn! I like it.
I actually enjoy going to work, which contradicts with what many people tell me. I don't know about them but I enjoy doing what I'm doing right now, which is playing around with expensive stage lighting. Oh, and occasional facebooking too (from office haha)! I might not be blogging as usual as I used to, but I'll try to blog something interesting.
This is a must watch ! Don't say I didn't share good thing with you..
Looking back at myself, let me check whether I commit those "skills" that were mentioned in the video..
1. Pick in the wallet - Check! (I even have 2 picks in the wallet somemore! Haha)
2. Learn to play 4 chords - Check! (I know more than 4 chords lah..)
3. Play the popular song - Check!
Wonderwall, sap sap sui.. Actually, I have a story to tell.. I learnt guitar when I was Junior 1 or 2. Then During Junior 3 in STTSS, you know some people they bring their guitar to school and you know, try to impress the girls with their guitar skills. Though they are not really good at it, I think I'm better. Anyway, back then the pop songs are like Robbie Williams - Betterman, and some other songs that I couldn't recall. Then the girls asked whether I can play Jay Chow - Qing Tian, then I was like qing what ? But back then without youtube or this video to teach me how to get laid, I took my own initiative to learn that song and voila ! Story ends.)
4. Muted string/ Tap the guitar - Sometimes.
If you don't know how to play guitar yet, just go out there and buy a Kapok guitar and watch this video and act like you know how to play guitar. Enjoy !
Ladies and gentlemen,
before I start my presentation, I would like to tell a joke.
Recently, Russian scientists dig 100m deep underground and found copper wire cable which dated 1000 years back. They conclude that their ancestors had been using copper wire cable to communicate over 1000 years ago.
Not to be outdone, the American dig 200m deep and found fiber optic cable which dated 1000 years back. They conclude that their ancestors had been using fiber optic cable to communicate over thousand years ago.
In Singapore, they dig 500m deep but found nothing. They conclude that their ancestors, for the past 1000 years, had been using Wireless technology.
Well, if you sleep during the class and you're unfortunately is my classmate.. well, watch out when I pull a prank on you..
Laugh at other groups since I've finish my presentation
What the ?! Watch movie somemore !
Don't get me wrong though, I mean say goodbye to classmates.. Not that I quit blogging.. I've got good stuffs coming up..
This pick is expensive because it has an i in the name. (just like all the apple products)
The purple pick is for playing bass with jazz style, the blue Ernie Ball is for acoustic guitar with nylon string, the black pick with curved is for playing bass with speed, and the small black one is for guitar.
I usually use the purple pick for bass and the black pick for guitar
The setup shot

In Sabah, especially during the 90's, thanks to our dearest Lembaga Letrik Sabah, we as Sabahan did the earth hour thing like every month, and we didn't kaypoh, we didn't create a website specially for earth hour, we didn't ask some artists and celebrities to do advertisements on tv about it. And the thing is, we usually did it for more than 1 hour. Then if the next day we have to pass up homework, we can just give this excuse - blackout, teacher.
Anyway, jokes aside (it's quite true anyway), the L-oh-rama in support of the earth hour, will switch off the light for one hour from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm. But then I know loads of people who can't even survive 5 minutes of blackout and then go on to call the YB, the electricity company then complain in their blog and write in to newspaper.
Well, for one hour, this Saturday 28 Mac 2009, 8.30 pm if you care enough for this earth, then switch off the light for one hour. Then you ask, what can I do without the light ? Well, lucky enough for you, The L-oh-rama have some tips, not those lame get a flashlight and read a book tips (hello, it's not like you can read a book anyway), tips for you to make that one hour a fun-in-the-bun time.
So, here's the top ten things to do during Earth Hour:
10. Eat all those ice-cream in your freezer, it's gonna melt anyway.
9. Dig out your guitar for an acoustic music night, practise without looking at your hands. Oh, singing is optional, even if you sing out of tune, nobody will know it's you.
8. Reject the idea, string yourself in Xmas lights, and walk around as a glowing sculpture.
7. Play Tetris or Snake on you handphone until your thumbs hurt.
6. Write your deepest secret in dark.
5. Don't forget fitness. Practise naked yoga.
4. Build a fortress out of cushions and blankets (DON'T take candles inside!)
3. Gather a few friends and tell ghost stories.
2. Go to bed early. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.
and the No.1 ...
1. Consider getting some help if the results of No.2 only took one minute.
There you go, the top ten tips for you to do during the Earth Hour, I hope you'll have fun-in-the-bun. (While saving our Earth, don't forget that too.)
In case you thought that I won 500k GBP and then went on to vacation and abandon my blog, NO. Anyway, I want to talk about some local indie band. Okay, I want you to imagine an all girl band.. What's the first thing that came to your mind ? Male audiences would be inevitably drawn by that strange attraction they have for guitar-slinging girls; while female audiences often supported girl bands for the sense of empowerment they give in breaking into the beer-guzzling, masculine world of rock.
Not Spice Girl you moron.. They play their own instruments, 1 drum, 2 electric guitars, 1 bass, 1 keyboard. They are called Free to Fall.
Free to Fall consists of Jane C - Vocal/keyboard, Adeline (i call her les paul, because of the guitar she's using.. haha) - Lead guitar/backing vocal, Yin Har - Lead guitar 2, Jane S - Bass/backing vocal, and Ker Shin - Drums.
Recently they won the Malaysia Revival Songwriting Competition which their song is awesome. Go check it out at their myspace.
This is the songwriter cum bassist where she play a 5-string bass which I think is like 5 tonne and singing at the same time. Kinda reminds me of Paul McCartney of The Beatles, though he's a lefties.
This photo might be valuable one day
She is the drummer which based on her body size, you wouldn't have guess it. But she plays some good beat though.
Support your local band. Go check them out.

So, the Visa Card company don't even have their own email address ? I mean the multi-national credit card company have to sign up with hotmail for a free email address ? What the fish..
Ok.. this is obviously a scam.. And I feel like making fun of this thing while at the same time, teach all the innocent people out there who thought there is such thing as "free lunch" in this world.. As much as I want to send this "Winning claim" to them and see what are they gonna reply me, but I got many things to get busy with such as assignments, and practicing the songs for prom night. Oh, me with my unimates might perform at proms which ironically is other uni's prom night. Don't worry, we will not play my song.. haha..
For the past few weeks, I've been listening to the Rolling Stones top 500 songs of all time and The Beatles especially to find some new inspiration. It's hard for me to get new inspirations for making new songs when listening to some pop crap people produce nowadays. Anyway, one fine day, as I was watching some live Beatles performance in black and white in youtube, I came across some stupid comments. Refer to the screenshot that I've attached to see the moronic act that I said.
Well, it's well known for a fact that youtube commenter are bunch of idiots.
Anyway, moving on, on another fine day, I came across some live and death moment.. in my messenger..
Last but not least, I've composed and recorded a song (in my own self-made "studio" and some borrowed guitar). Now, I need some honest comments and opinions, so please check out my song at http://www.myspace.com/luminarytone .
Good day, mate ! (hmm.. why suddenly all british slang, must be influenced by the beatles..)
