hmmm, this is real subjective…

usually subjective to the amount of money involved! …

yes, im talking bout corruption here in our country. Corruption levels in our beloved country has reach intollerable levels that it has become so tollerable and second nature to the functioning of our nation. did i just contradict myself?, no . what i meant to say is that i dont think we can rid ourselves of corruption for certain flaws in our system not only encourages it but has made it a neccessity.

take for example, everyone complains about our police.

" we cannot trust them la,, theyre alwasy late and no money no talk"

" aiya this one ah… 20 dollars can settle d"

"sekarang lu salah, macam mana mau settle?, takda bagi chance punya……( u put 50 buxx into the book after that…)…ok jalan"

yes. its true. everyone knows and brands cops as daylight robbers, but can we blame them? they get paid a misserable amount of money and are expected to risk their lives in the line of duty…. hell no, who is that dumb. if they dont get paid more , they cant feed their families….so how else la?

we also cant help but notice the amount of illegal betting and gaming rings all over penang. mushrooming all around. also the illegal dvd shops in famed locations in pennag. EVERYONE KNOWS ABT THEM, yet no one does anything. U think the cops dont ? well i really dont know. im not implying anything, u guys decide on this one.

yes, what a month last month is.

bustling with non - stop activities, shows, gigs , etc…

Its been great so far and me and the band are enjoying every moment of it. next month in july sees the band pulling together their first full show concert as well as making their debut in the laundry bar kl together with penang buddies- poseidon and kl buddies - two sides to a story.

also to the many who are awaiting the new ocean of fire cd…well youll be happy to know that itll be ready latest by the end of next month! weve been waiting a long time too actually but were not rushing anyone.

yesterday was the guiatr workshop held at areca center. the students played wonderfully and im really glad to see them do their stuff live. really proud of them all and the guts to get everything together.

of course it was the first time that all of us decded to pull out our stack amp arsenal to unleash its raw power on the poeple. too bad it was indoors so we kept everything at a controllable level but nevertheless loud .

well this isnt the last workshop and it seems positive enough to pull more workshops in the near future to encourage poeple to take up guitar as well as to promote performing arts altogether. Thats what were about anyway, - getting people to perform live.

THings to look frward to for ths month…french art festival…check and some chaity thinggie thing on the 30th of the month. yeapsies!!!
