Math and Music

Hello there, it’s been a while since my last post and I’ve been missing too many things that are so good to be blogged. Procrastination reigned over everything.

Happy new year! Happy birthday mom and friends!

Last weekend my friends and I went to Haris’ birthday bash at Urban Lounge. It was an awesome night, Haris’ managed to open a couple of bottles for us to get drunk with. There were Ncek, Jidat, Angie, Iib, Haris himself, Kakek, Bram, Kemi, Zaki, Laren, Arif, and couple of Haris’ friends which I couldn’t really get their names when we introduced ourselves inside the club. Saying your names in a club is  pointless, you shake hand, my name is something that you couldn’t really hear, in turn you pretend to listen to his/her name, you nod, you smile, and then you go ask your friend what was that guy’s/girl’s name again. Or you can ask names after the party had ended. Or if you’re still too drunk to remember shit, there is always the day after.

The plan was, we will drink moderately, no one would get drunk, and will go home at maximum one o’ clock. Moderate drinking wasn’t printed on a bottle of free Chivas, neither on a free Absolut Vodka. The continuous ritual of rushing alcohol into your mouth went with bangs of electro house and dances past one o’ clock.

I liked the venue. It was my first time being there. It wasn’t so much of a big club, it  resembles much more like a bar or a lounge with a dancefloor. Reminds me of Zouk’s Loft when it was still around, if you ask me. The DJ is alright I guess. I remembered he played Cut Copy’s Hearts on Fire, Soulwax’s NY Excuse, and other electro stuffs. The crowd was awesome either, in the middle of drunken-ness I accidentally dropped my phone and someone picked it up and return it to me. Unfortunately, my head wasn’t really working the way its supposed to be, so he gave it to my bro. Not bad man, not bad.

And then Haris puked. Kakek puked with his hand trying to cover his mouth and put back all the puke to his mouth. I ran to the toilet and puked. I came back to sit on the sofa and puked again. Angie went to toilet and puked. Somewhere in between, I guess Haris puked again. I puked. Then, someone were massaging the back of my neck, gave me a bucket to puke on, somebody gave me a slice of lime for me to eat, water to drink, and then I puked again. Someone tried to start a civilized conversation with me, are you alright man? Do you still wanna puke? Do you wanna go to the toilet? We should do this again back in KL man, for sure. The only reply that I made was, of course, puking. It was all puke puke puke all over the place. Talking about hittin’ the jackpot and brotherly love.

But me loved that night very much, thank you Haris. Thanks for all the drinks and fun get together time we’ve had there. Do it again sometime soon.

Songs of the day:

wasting time wasting

Sometimes, I’ve wondered whether Bill Gates or Barack Obama had suffered any attention deficit during their uni days, because I found out that it is so hard for me to keep my mind focused on the lecture note that had been staring back at me for a couple hours now. Great minds always wander I guess.

So what’s up?

Last friday I’ve had my first exam for this semester, Software Engineering’s. It wasn’t that difficult, provided I’ve studied all the right questions. And the next day after that, me and a couple of friends went to Zouk to catch SMD spins. SMD played pretty good for the first one and half hours, but then their stuffs started to get out of my music palate. It was too hard and dark (dark techno as Xu referred) me thinks. However, the party itself was really awesome, especially LAPSAP, they really got the party started and got me obsessed to them back again. Can’t wait for next week’s Van She + Dexpistols + LAPSAP.

And after that, I’ve been wasting a couple of days doing nothing related to my academic life. And now, its day minus 2 to my System Design And Implementation exam and yes, yes, yes I just start to get seriously studying by now (hopefully). After I finish typing this entry, I’m gonna take a bath and stare back at my lecture notes viciously as if I wanna rip them off and eat them.

Below are a companion song for your studying/dancing activities. Catch you later!
