Ichibanzai | Pinang '09

Little stage in KDU's foyer at entrance

Jay ask me if i wana help out perform at a smal event in KDU college Penang. Actuali the plan wan to have my EE band to go ther perform, however, since Raven's in China and Seikan in Japan, EE dint go to pinang. So we jus form tis little rojak band, consisting me (bass), Jay (guitar), Yuki (vox) and Omar (drums).


Mayling from KawaiiSakuraBand, her signature star!!

Kawaii Sakura whose comin to perform came from Melaka to KL by their bassist's car, den they come to pinang by bus. Wow, long trip haha, they came to KL on friday nite. Jay went to pick them up from the Bus station and the rest of the equipment was thrown into Jay's sister's big Avanza. Kawaii sakura went to stay at Jian's house, and us stayed over at Yuki's. Reached Yuki's house around 2am, Omar came after working, around 3am.So we departed at 6.30am after having our breakfast at kepong.


Yuki and Jay, Pinang food rampage!!

We reached Pinang in 3 hours time, but got lost in the town lookin for our motel at 75lounge, Jln Muntri, (which is next to Jln Chulia). 1 nite stay in a 3 bed w/aircond room cost only 65ringgit, wow, relatively cheap!! The event was in 3pm afternoon in KDU college, so we hurried for a bath and rush to the KDU college by noon. After a smal 10minit soudncheck, we met up with KawaiiSakuraBand, and grab lunch at a super big food court, i have no idea where it is, besides big, and eye-cathching color and interior.


The F.A.M.E. street near the most Happening Clubbing Place in Penang

We perform 6 songs. 3songs from GoGo7188, 'Ukifune', 'KinkyoriRenai', 'OtonaKusuri'. Famous song such as 'GlamorousSky' by AnnaTsuchiya, 'RollingStar' by Yui and 'YuraYura'. The roland cube bass amp sounds loud and clear, i was satisfy. Performance was OK, as we only jam once around 2hours for practise. So its just a SO-SO-Show. KawaiiSakuraBand shoke the stage with their youthful and punk actions, the stage almost came apart after they finish performing. They greet in hokkien to the crowd, and their list of Naruto songs caught great response from the little crowd we had.


Inisde the Clubbing palace near F.A.M.E.

After the smal show, we went back, rest, and then went to hunt for food, from Jln Chulia then Jln Gurney. The nex day we wake up late, cz very tired haha. After checkin out early around 11am, we went around the whole penang island, visit a few famous beach sides, saw the water dam in the BalikPulau mountains, went pass dunno wher KgNelayan, TmnNegaraPenang, ButterflyPark. After finally comin back to the bridge, we grab some food around 3pm, and head back to KL. We're shocked seeing a huge traffic jam after the PenangBridge.

The end, we took 6hours in 5 traffic jams along the way home, Yuki feel sick wit T-virus (raccoon city).Hope she gets better. Goin to Muar by tis month 20th :)
