Jom kita jam....

Perth has been wonderful to those who saw its beauty. Only problem with Perth while the housemates were there was jamming studio. Not that they do not have any jamming studio rather the studios there expect the musicians to bring their instruments there to setup and jam. Being the students residing there temporary, bringing our own music instruments were not exactly possible. And because of that, Je and Mr. Chan were not allowed to jam... that was almost unbearable..

After returning from Perth, we thought we can finally go jamming just like good ol' times. But due to our busy schedule and all, it wasn't possible. Somehow, we couldn't find the time to meet up at the appointed time to jam our hearts away.

Until...

Je: Wei, I can't stand it anymore... someone better call for a jamming session!!
Manson: Eh! Not that I dowan mmm kay... I free, you not free... when you free, Nigel not free..
Je: Just have to find a time to meet. No choice. Rusty d la the fingers..
Manson: Ok ok... Let me call Nigel.

*Ring... ring*

Nigel: Ello!!
Manson: Hey... wassup man!! Apa buat?
Nigel: *in a blur voice* Who's this?
Manson: Lansi.. basket! It's me la Manson.
Nigel: Sorry la.. how I know. What can I do for you?
Manson: Jamming la apa lagi? I book for this Saturday night boleh?
Nigel: Eh I not sure yet la but will try and make it..
Manson: When only you can confirm? That Je jari gatal.. wanna go jamming. But we must practice first la. When we get there, terus play only just like good ol' times.
Nigel: Aiyah... no need to practice wan la... Just choose those songs that only requires me to play few chords la like C, Am, F, G.
Manson: Eh, no improvement arr?? How can?? So bila mau practice?
Nigel: I confirm with you tomorrow can? Who else coming?
Manson: Only three of us playing mar. Who else you want us to bring? Hot chicks?
Nigel: How I know. Maybe you bringing along some audience? Anyway, let you know tomorrow.

Je: So so?? Macam mana?
Manson: Should be ok la. No prob.
Je: Please provide me with a list of songs. And please practice.
Manson: Not a problem. We'll sure practice wan. Leave it to me to handle it.

And so Saturday finally came and Nigel has agreed to join in playing the bass....

At the jam studio....

Manson: Lets get it started now...
Je: Play wat arr?
Nigel: Start simple la...
Manson: *Krrrannnggg* Ahheemm... *clears throat* Testing testing.... *Starts singing* Sweet dreams are made of this.... Who am I to disagree... Travel the world in seven seas.......
Je: *dong cha... dong dong cha*
Nigel: *tom tom tom tom

It appeared that everyone was playing their own 'song' at their own pace... And the best part was, the playing continued with few more songs. So you can imagine the loud noise and not the music..

Je: Wei wei stop!! Apa main? Apa nyanyi? Lu olang ala plaktic arr?
Manson: Hehe!
Nigel: Hehe!!
Je: Apasal?
Manson: I got practice on my own lor...
Je: On your own?
Manson: Nigel not free also.. He too busy wanking himself...
Je: Wei... shy man. Got few fellas watching us from outside. Some more can hear our playing and singing skills... Darn shy man!! Play something else la. Something we very familiar. I will survive la!
Manson: Ok ok. *chang chang chang* First I was afraid I was petrified.....
Nigel: *tom tom tom tom*
Je: *dong cha dong dong dong cha*

Je was seen giving thumb's up with her drumsticks to Nigel and Mr. Chan as this song finally kicks off as after so many songs, finally this one song kinda saved the day for all three musicians. Only problem is, time is up and everyone has to leave the jamming studio. What a waste of time and effort. This is the problem if we go unprepare for something like this and end up embarassing ourselves.

Je: Mana sekarang?
Manson: Yum cha la apa lagi? Or you prefer to stay here and continue with the embarassment?
Nigel: Hahaha!
Manson: Eh! It's all your fault ok Nigel. Stop bonking and come for practice ok...
Je: Next jamming session pls pls practice... Or we go elsewhere to jam.. Darn shy ok..
Nigel: I alreayd say few chords mar... You dowan to listen...

Meanwhile, Juls was at home having a tea party. She's not really into jamming. At least that's what we thought. Instead of joining us at the studio. She decided to have her own tea party with a few fellas. Being her friends, we fully understand that she needs time alone to be with herself and her err... friends as we also take time off of each other. Too much of something is bad huh? But not for Juls. She seriously prefers to stay at home playing tea party with her dolls, which she calls friends than to join us at the jam studio with real friends.... Bunch of freaks you must be wondering... but that makes all of us special in a somewhat weird way...

Till next time...

I'm ex-housemate #2 signing off - Take care of yourself... and each other
