Witnessing a historic showcase; the first time ever a rock band was allowed to perform at Istana Budaya, Butterfinger's farewell gig (before Emmett migrates to Canada) and the last time they played together with the full original line-up (Emmett, Loque, Kadak, Loco) while taking an indefinite hiatus, their very first unplugged showcase in their 12-year career in the indie music scene, and the very first time they played an all-out 4 sessions in 2 days showcase playing hit songs from all 6 albums. Watching one of my most favourite bands of all time belting out some of my most favourite songs (some of which I've been listening and playing on the guitar on repeat since I was 14 years old) backed up with a six-string orchestra and a percussionist (who also doubled as a ukelele player). Attending the afternoon slot, Transcendence 10-Year Anniversary, to cover for an event write-up for Junk Magazine (my first ever real article for an actual magazine). Attending the final slot of the final day, Mari Hidup Kembali, as Butterfingers' official back-up photographer for the event. Hanging out with Emmett, Loque, Kadak, Loco, and the rest of Butterfingers' crew. By just being there to witness and experience the entire episode and all the little things that transpired in that fateful weekend. The weekend that I'll remember for the rest of my life.
Fucking. Priceless.
p/s: one more thing I probably won't ever forget; the time I babysitted Isabel while Emmett was having a meeting (the fact that I'm not a big fan of kids, I think I did pretty okay).

ADMISSION: RM10
Wani Ardy's Hari Bintang Jatuh is the official exhibition of a compilation of works from her brainchild, Mission Confession: Ke Hadapan Bintang Jatuh. I could safely say that this project is in some ways similar to Post Secret, but with a unique twist. Just so you know, this project is the first of its kind in Malaysia. To get to know more about Ke Hadapan Bintang Jatuh, click here.
For more information:
Also,
I will be participating in the photography exhibition (under my usual alias, Daniel Shinzu) and will also open a booth selling secondhand items like books, CDs, clothes, and a million other random nonsense. I'll also be tag-teaming with Not Frumpy, who will be selling an awesome, unique range of clothing items! Do visit their site for a sneak peak.
Hope to see all of you there!

Here's to better things to come for Yuna. She truly is a rare breed. If you ever got to know her, you'd find that who she is as a person and her music is one and the same thing. Honest and pure in every way possible. You don't find that kind of quality much in music these days.
Come on over to KLPAC this Sunday 13th October at 3pm. Last I heard there's only about less than 100 tickets available. RM25 entrance fees includes cover charge and one copy of Yuna EP. Opening acts by Otam and Sundae. Both are must, must watch performers. So what are you waiting for? Beg, borrow, steal some dough and head over to Indicine this coming Sunday!
This video was shot last year at Zouk's Terrace Bar during Raw on Stage for Live & Loud. That night was officially the first time I saw her perform live and the first time we met after disappearing from each other's radar for more than a year. It was quite a night.
