Unlike the past, there has to be two requisites before I can even start blogging. Firstly, I have got to have time and I have got to be in a writing mood. I will make time if I am in a blogging mood so I guess it does boil down to the moods.
How am I even going to start?

Can't quite believe that they chose to split. Especially since it's a duo made up of two brothers.

Called his hotel room to see if he's okay to have me interview him if I came by his hotel at about 9.00pm.
He came down with his girlfriend but in all fairness, she let us have our privacy and we did the interview at the couches just outside Pontini.
Very fine young man with good manners.

DJ Cam.
DJ Cam played in The Kee Club in Hong Kong while I was there over the weekend. I actually wrote to the club to see if they would let me interview him from Hong Kong but they didn't even bother to reply. It's hard not to see why when I was there myself.

The plane was small but I guess there are advantages of being small. You waste less time getting on and off the plane. There is no in-flight entertainment of any sort (Sorry, the stewardesses don't even look cute). The seat covers are leather instead of usual.

I am blogger bozo basically.

I can't believe that I just shelled out $400 over on two pairs of jeans. I remembered how defeated I felt when I found out that every single pair of Levis' Red Loop 510 Saddle Stitch was sold out (my size).

And to mention the dubious honour of having my name in the credits and actually not appearing in the feature at all (That scene ended up in the cutting room floor...).

I caught eighteen shows in total for this year's Singapore International Film Festival. This is quite a far cry from the past. In 2001 it was forty shows, thirty-seven shows for 2002 and twenty-eight for 2003.

I have caught Zatoichi. Someone that I just got to know corrected the way I pronounced the movie's title. He was very polite about it though, "It's supposed to be "Zato (pause) ichi". He mentioned that he too, was corrected by someone else. We had gotten it wrong in the same way too.

I don't neccessarily like the working environment despite the fact that I have a great boss and nice team members. The whole marketing is actually pretty huge and it's filled mostly with women. Before anyone can congratulate me, I think I should give a lowdown on what its really LIKE.

I think it's very important to have a good boss. Frankly, if anyone has asked me to choose between having a good boss and a couple of hundred bucks more, I would chose having a good boss without a blink of an eye. I think that most people who choose to leave their jobs are really leaving their bosses and not the job itself.

The place I work in probably has one of the highest density of hot women in Singapore. Even a girl who is doing admin type of work puts in her best effort to dress well (nice shoes, stylish dressing and power suits). I haven't seen much badly dressed people at work except for the "foreign talent" which we hire "in bulk".

I just recounted a conversation which I had with someone about being jobless. I don't know this person very well but I do know that he's quite overworked.

If there's anyone who wants to catch a good samurai movie, I will highly recommend Yoji Yamada's Twilight Samurai instead. The bitter irony is that the lead actor in this film takes the role of Ujio in The Last Samurai.

What surprised me was the fact that five people were there to interview him. Although Bam (as he is affectionately known) is a legend, not many people here know of his music. Five is definitely a record so far.

Since it's going to be a Green Room Sessions gig again, it's probably going to be freaking packed like the last Steve 臥龍鳯雛http://www.blogger.com/profile/13034901225977519184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265591.post-1076055531439835872004-02-06T16:18:00.000+08:002004-02-06T16:28:53.013+08:00James Zabiela was playing on the second day of Chinese New Year and I only had energy to go see him play rather than prepare for the interview. So I scrapped it and decided that I should focus my energies on Afrika Bambaataa instead.
I remember how James Lavelle stopped to ask me if James Zabiela was spinning at Zoukout right after my interview with him. James Lavelle did not get to see his 臥龍鳯雛http://www.blogger.com/profile/13034901225977519184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265591.post-1074474071575891972004-01-19T08:53:00.000+08:002004-01-19T09:02:36.186+08:00Next up on my hit list : James Zabiela and Afrika Bambaataa. I am really excited about meeting Afrika Bambaataa because he was one of the original hiphop pioneers together with Grandmaster Flash and Kool G Herc. And yes, that was before Eminem was even born.臥龍鳯雛http://www.blogger.com/profile/13034901225977519184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265591.post-10744734823350742004-01-19T08:26:00.000+08:002004-01-19T08:52:47.030+08:00The first DJ that I was going to interview in the year of 2004 is Richie Hawtin aka Plastikman.
This is not the first time he has been in Singapore. He spun at the very first Zoukout and I remember being there when he did his set.
I could tell that he wasn't feeling too good because he was coughing and groaning throughout the interview.

Before myself is a struggle to find a new job. I felt liberated. I would never imagined that I would have felt so trapped over the last year until I made a decision to leave. I have never questioned whether it was a good decision in the first place. I just thought it was something that I had to do and I did it. I have only been looking out for the jobs which臥龍鳯雛http://www.blogger.com/profile/13034901225977519184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265591.post-1072864348049510732003-12-31T17:47:00.000+08:002003-12-31T17:53:34.310+08:00The best line I have heard in a song this year, "Just coz you feel it, doesn't mean it's there." So good it made me tear.
(Where I End And You Begin) by Radiohead. Not that I have heard alot of new music this year but I think this is the best album I have heard this year.臥龍鳯雛http://www.blogger.com/profile/13034901225977519184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265591.post-1072599562937733832003-12-28T16:19:00.000+08:002003-12-28T16:20:25.826+08:00So where do we go from here?臥龍鳯雛http://www.blogger.com/profile/13034901225977519184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265591.post-1071547849475832642003-12-16T12:05:00.000+08:002003-12-16T12:11:40.513+08:00I know it's crazy but I have actually been living on five dollars a day. Since I am not having any income right now, it's just right that I practise some financial prudence right?
It's not been easy though. If I were to go out, transport costs alone would amount to at least two dollars.

I think that carton must have weighed about twenty over kg!
The whole building just felt so alien to me when I was back there to pack up my things. To think that I have spent the last three years slogging away in that building from early morning to the wee hours of the night. It just felt so weird.

Mainly because I have been busying
- handing over my job to the next person
- packing up my stuff in the office (there's really quite a bit)
- conducting Excel classes for my Marketing colleagues
The next person is very well-equipped to handle my job. He doesn't have the emotional baggage that I had to carry over the past three years. I like him.

This time round, I was given an angle to work on. "Try to focus on Asia and make it lighthearted" was the cue. Personally, I would always go for these angles - influences, history, opinions and feelings, while trying to avoid being too technical. And Derrick May is really nice.

To many people I know, I seem to be always clubbing every other week. That is utterly wrong. I think I have been out clubbing less than fifteen times this year. It takes alot for me to want to go out clubbing and when I do club, I really hope to have a good night out. But that wasn't the case last night.
Last night was Steve Cobby from Fila 臥龍鳯雛http://www.blogger.com/profile/13034901225977519184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265591.post-1069753915208126732003-11-25T17:13:00.000+08:002003-11-25T17:56:34.843+08:00I must be nuts. I was mopping the house at 1.30am in the morning with Hip-hop playing in the background. I was trying to clean up the house so that my folks wouldn't nag at me when they come home on Wednesday evening.
Being the sneaker lover that I am, there's no way I would have missed the Sole Provider exhibition right? I love shoes. I love rare sneakers.

Been told by the magazine to scrap Steve Cobby because they had done something like that before. They also told me that my interview with Mark Farina is "crowded out" because it's too "old". Tough luck. Few nights ago, I cheekily asked a friend who also listens to Fila Brazillia to contribute a question.

Took a while to look around my desk and it became apparent that I would have to cart home quite some stuff starting from next week.

Because it's hard doing handwashing! I tried to do that for all my work clothes and it was quite tiring. Mummy is away so I will have to do my own laundry.

Since those people who picked up my LTJ Bukem/MC Conrad interview were quite happy with my interview so I just continued to contribute whenever I could. My criteria is really simple : I just need to like the DJ or his/her/their work and the freedom to do it my own way.

It's a pity Jah Wobble did such great music for such a crappy film.
The music for Tokyo Eyes was even better. Produced and supervised by Xavier Jamaux who also records as Ollano (on Shadow Records). I have previously bought stuff from Shadow Records and they are always very good.

They have been with me for about two months.

Just last night, I spoke to someone whom I have lost touch for six years. Last I heard her voice was six years ago, before she left for Boston.
She's changed a great deal. Six years ago, she was really passionate about music. She made her own music (does AIFF ring a bell?
