Baby Sitting the Baby Sitter

A couple of days ago i got a call from Audrey (child hood friend) & Ashley's older sister, and she was asking me whether i could hang out with her for a couple of hours since she was arriving back from Phuket and heading to Bali next (stop over in KL for a few hours till her flight to Bali). So i was like why not rite ? In any case i havent seen her since September.

As many of you guys know my sleeping time is pretty much f**ked! But i still managed to wake up at 10am with only 2 hours with only 2 hours of sleep. So you could imagine, i was S.L.F!! (Stoned Like Fuck)

Pick Aud up at 12.15 then headed to Pavilion where we met Ghif for lunch at non-other than Madam Kwan's, where else rite ? I mean she's been working in Club Med in Sapporo, Japan as a Manager for the Kids Section (2 - 3 yrs old), in other words she's a baby sitter la, but with a super cool job! :P hahahaha...

After Pavilion it was straight to The Gardens, where we met Mabel at Alexis! Seriously i must say the cakes at Alexis, AMAZING!!!! Tiramisu ROCKS!!! But after we were done at 5pm, i had to drop her off at KL Sentral where she had to take the bus, as her flight to Bali was departing at 7pm, unfortunately the poor girl missed her flight! Poor Thing, what a waste for the ticket. But she's leaving for Bali tomorrow for 6 days :)

Sorry for such a boring post, but Aud made me write this in my blog ;)

On another note, i managed to build my own Taipei 101 with the chips i won at Blackjack at Shisha x3 = Taipei 303 :P

Have Fun or Die Trying

Have Fun, Get Drunk or Die Trying!

Hahahahaha..

Thats how my weekends basically are.. 2 days of clubbing!

I mean what else have i got to do ? Other than stay at shisha and wonder why i didnt go out ?

Well Friday was spent at Maison with believe or not Ghif! Hahaha i know, quite surprisingly he came out which normally he doesnt, i guess maybe it was cause Scott a mate of ours from Brisbane was down in KL on holiday and playing at Maison.

Saturday.. Where else rite ? Phuture, Velvet, Zouk & Barsonic.. Basically the whole works. What else is new. I mean where else could we possibly go ?

at maison with marilyn, scott, ghif, oscar & oscar's acquaintance

eric with his feminine side too :P

I've come to a conclusion that after finising three quaters of a bottle of Vodka, Shisha definitely does not go well with it!!

But on another note.. with Whiskey you get high faster, but u sober down faster too :P

Early Electronic Music Influences

Here are some videos that i grew up listening too back in the late 90's & early 2000 that got me hooked on to Dance Music, for the record this is categorized as Electronica!! Not Trance, Not Techno,.. Except for maybe Moloko which is more like funk, but the original's housey, just couldnt find the original clip ;)


Underworld - Rez/Cowgirl (1993)


Underworld - Born Slippy Nuxx (1996)


Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl (1998)


Moloko - Sing it Back (1998)


Daft Punk - One More Time (2000)


Kosheen - Hide You (2000)


Fatboy Slim - Star 69 (2001)


Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar (2001)

Yea.. i know its not much to blog about, but its been a quiet week :)

Lets see if this week gets more interesting ;)

Oh yea.. just remembered, there's that outdoor party at Bukit Tinggi with Sander Van Doorn (the guy who claims to be a Techno DJ, but who actually plays Trance :P.. Bweek!!)

Notorious

Just finished watching Notorious, and i gotta say one one the best biopic movies ever! It took me 2 full days to finish downloading it, but it's worth it.

I know some of you might be wondering what the hell is Romel doing watching this kind of movie since his so anti hip/hop rite ? Well back when i was in School i practically grew up listening to music from Biggie & Tupac (The REAL Hip/Hop).

If your wondering what this sure is about, its about the life of Biggie Smalls aka Notororius B.I.G, the legendary East Coast Rapper who started off as a Drug Dealer to becoming one of the biggest Rappers in the world! And also talks about what happened between him & Tupac Shakur and how he was killed. I know some of you might think that it's just gangster bull shit like 50 Cent's Show Get Rich Or Die Tryin, but its the total opposite. Really really an emotional story (ok lets not go there! ;))

I know this is necessary but damm! Antonique Smith the actress who plays Faith Evans, Super HOT!! :D

RIP Layla (2001 - 2009)

RIP to my beloved Iguana Layla.

The poor girl fell down from a tree and died instantly last weekend, Sigh. What a waste. I got her from Ghif back in 2001 and have had her ever since.

May she rest in Peace, she will be deeply missed.

Sean's Steamboat

New Gadget

Just a couple of days ago i was planning on buying a new Mac Book for myself, yea i guess some of you guys will be like wtf rite ? I mean since this guy already has a Mac Book Pro why they hell would he wanna waste money on getting another laptop ?

Well the truth is i need it for my Serato (DJ Program) - www.serato.com. I mean i cant use both Serato & Ableton (another DJ Software) together rite ? I mean my laptop would definitely crash during my gig! Fuck no would i let that happen.

So yea as i was saying just get an ordinary Mac Book rite ? But the funny thing is there's no fucking FIREWIRE SLOT!!! :S, i was like wat the hell! How can they not have a firewire slot, maybe to some of you guys you probably wont need it but ppl like me definitely do! I mean why how come the version of the mac book before this had and this doesnt ? Plus the earlier was way cheaper! Fuck Fuck Fuck! Should have gotten that when it was still available.

Well if any of you guys are selling your mac book's or know of anyone selling their mac book, pls let me know :) To be frank i'm looking for the Black Colored Version ;)

Mac Book 13" (Black Edition)

Have a great weekend :)

The Truth Be Told About Proper Electronic Music

Welcome To My (Other) World!
www.romeljohan.mypodcast.com

Thats the name for the new podcast i've created, i'm sorry for the inconvenience caused, i know some of you guys who read my blog have been downloading my stuff there, but its for the better. The main reason for the move is cause since i started my podcast last month, to my surprise i've had over 500 downloads in a month, which is pretty amazing! but unfortunately i got an email from my previous host Podomatic.com that if i want to continue this i have to subscribe to their Pro Package which would cost me like $100 USD a month, so i was like f*** it! and decided to go with Mypodcast.com where i get unlimited space!

Well in anycase incase your wondering if there'll be anything new with this podcast since i have unlimited space, well YES!! I'll be posting various mixes from DJ friends all over the world. With some exceptional guests like Crsitian Varela, Ben Sims, Christian Smith, DJ Felipe, DJ Murphy, Dave The Drummer and a few more other for now :) Oh yea i also almost forgot to mention that i'll be posting up videos from my previous gigs :)

Enjoy!

btw.. just uploaded a Special Chicago House Mix which was recorded last year at my gig in GPO, Brisbane, Australia.

F1 Weekend

Well.. It was the F1 weekend, and most of you probably knew that there was Speedzone in KL tower, with quite an impressive line-up, but unfortunately they were not serving alcohol at the party, yup! and that you have to thank our religious department. So instead of heading to KL tower i ended up at... Zouk, what else is new rite ? Hahaha. But surprisingly it was rocking in Zouk (Main Room) not Phuture, which is getting boring! Although it was Hip Hop but they were playing some oldskool stuff, and damm! The DJ was HOT! LOL

But it was a good night, havent seen Emile ever this drunk before! hahaha..

Eric and his Stewardess friend ;)

Emile and his newly acquainted friend

and getting to know each other better :P
