Vitoria Vitora Vitoria.. COLD COLD COLD! and EVEN COLDER!

As most of you know from my previous blog i'm now in this city.. well more like a town in the North of Spain called Vitoria. Well yea i know most of you must be wondering why the hell am i here rite ? Well thats cause i have a gig on Friday (tonight) with DJ Murphy. So yea since my gig last Sat in San Sebastian i've been here. And tomorrow i'm playing at Blau Club, Girona. Which is basically an hour's drive from Barcelona. So 4pm tomorrow take the train again and then straight to the club! I just hope i can get through the day in one piece ;)

Well i must say life here is not so bad.. infact its an ideal place for me to retire.. ;) I mean what i do everyday here is just go out eat, drink eat, eat & eat again and sleep! haha.. I know quite an unhealthy life.. But enjoyable one. The only damm problem here is the bloody weather! Its so so freaking cold here. I mean at night it can even drop to 0'c. Yea that cold i know, its so so cold that i cant sleep sometimes! Espically in the morning, so that to Mr. Escobar (Pablo's nickname) he gave me an extra heater. OMG i tell you thats like the best thing for me now. my only regret is that i wish i had it when i 1st got here. But yea.. Its not so bad.. I kinda like it here.

Seven Days in Basque Country

What a weekend last weekend was.. It totally drained me out! Well more like Pablo & myself.. haha

Well we ended up getting to Vitoria at around 2pm and since we arrived we were busy as hell. I didnt even have the time to sleep. So i had to switch to plan b, take the back seat of the car and sleep! Haha. Oh yea and not to mention that its bloody FREEZING HERE!
As what the locals say.. In Vitoria there are long Autum's, long Winter's, little Spring & almost no Summer!
And its only 2.30 pm

Juancho & Grissa fixing the back seat of the SUV, so i can get my much needed sleep!

When we finally got to San Sebastian we went straight to dinner. I must say when pablo and the guys were telling me on how big the Steaks were in the North of Spain i didnt believe them till i actually ate there! Haha.. Their Massive! Imagine a 500grams steak for a person ? or 1kg Steak.. Hell i even heard of a 2kg Steak! And not to mention the amount of starters they ordered, it was a total of only 10 of us but i think with the amount of food in total it was enough to feed maybe 20 ppl! LOL But it was a dinner i'd never forget!

Grissa & myself
Vanessa, Juancho, Grissa & Me

Damm i gotta say thats it feels great to be back in The Gold Coast after a 2 year absence!

Yes thats right i'm back in the Land Down Under! And no its not for a holiday its for work again :(
i know its crazy rite ? i mean i just only arrived back from Barcelona on Tuesday morning after a bloody 18 hour flight half way around the world to KL.. back for 2 days and now i'm here! LOL.. God i swear its times like this where i wish i had the power of a jumper! Haha.. So i dont have to wait long hours flying.

But the good thing is i get to catch up with old friends whom i havent seen in a long time, and the best of all.. DEEP FRIED SUSHI! HAHA

Well tonight its what i've been waiting for, for a very long time.. I'll be playing at GPO situated in The Valley (a clubbing district in Brisbane). And tomorrow i'll be heading to Sydney for another gig.. Its going to be a crazy weeked again!

Life in BCN

As most of you already know i'm in Barcelona. I've been here since Saturday and so far the only things besides doing touristy stuff is, i've been eating & drinking! hehe.. Well what else could i possibly do on the days that i'm not playing rite ?

So far i'm loving this City, in fact i'm actually thinking about moving here. The city is not too big not too crowded and the weather is great, even though its summer now but today's temperature is around 18'C which is quite nice and cooling.

But the only thing i cant stand is that the Euro is fucking EXPENSIVE! i mean like everytime i go out for lunch or dinner i spend a minimum of 10 euros which is like 50 ringgit! But thats normal here apparently as what my manager Pablo told me, if u earn in euros i guess why not rite ? The other night we went for Paella (Spanish Rice Dish) and it it cost me fucking 40 euros which is bloody rm200 just for 2 cokes, a cup of coffee & a seafood paella. Crazy eh ? LOL

Well here are some pics of what i've been up too lately in Barcelona.

Finally Here

After a 24 hour Journey half way around the world i'm finally here in Barcelona, Spain!

This is the time since i got here on Friday that i'm actually well rested. The past 2 days Friday & Saturday have been so so busy for me. With gigs in Vitoria & Barcelona. But i gotta say that it was really worth it to play techno like that after so so long.

Here are the videos from the parties i played at over the weekend.

Spanish inquisition

Hello my loyal blog readers, i know that some of u guys might be pissed that i havent updated my blog in a long time. I apologize for that as i was in Bandung & Jogjakarta, Indonesia last week.

I'll be flying off this Thursday to Spain for 3 weeks for a couple of gigs. Sigh, i'm really excited about Spain but not about the journey. I calculated that its gonna take me at least 24 hours of transit and travelling! Sometimes i wish i had the power of Jumper. Hahaha.. How i wish rite.

Well till then i'll be blogging from Barcelona (Hopefully ;))

Here's a flyer from one of my gig in Spain
