The Hoppers & Ahli Muzik

Written by J Shamsul, Friday, October 31, 2008 | 3

I had a similar idea with The Hoppers & Ahli Muzik, the difference is that they, The Hoppers & Ahli Muzik, go ahead and done it while as for myself, it is nothing more then just an idea.

The Hoppers & Ahli Muzik is a travelogue turns reality TV show. Every Sunday 10:00pm at 8TV. I miss out in seeing the first two episode, will try to catch the third one. Their online blog/website, thehoppers.com.my seems to be down at the moment.

It’s a bunch of your everyday guys who wants to get out of the hectic city that we all known and love, K.L. just to see what Malaysia’s other states have to offer.

The show was shot with two cameras, one held by one of The Hoppers to capture the intimacy and interaction between them, and another is held by a professional to capture the the beauty of the destinations. They also features music from local acts as its soundtrack, cool.

Revision3 layoff

Written by J Shamsul, Tuesday, October 28, 2008 | 1

It has finally hit me. Not the fact that AIG one of the big insurance company almost ran out of money. Not the fact that banks in America are also running out of money. Not the fact that Tech companies like Ebay, Yahoo and others are laying off some of its staff, check out TechCrunch’s layoff counter.

The state of America’s economy, this so called “economic downturn” they are talking about had never affected me. As share markets everywhere drop, I had never give any thought about it.

Today however it has finally hit me.

KAMI the gig Bukit Jalil

Written by J Shamsul, Wednesday, October 22, 2008 | 2

KAMI the gig at Bukit Jalil last saturday was a good mix of new and old bands. A super gig with over 20 of the best local acts performing to a large crowd in the middle of the Bukit Jalil Stadium carpark. Over 10 hours of non-stop indie music.

The event was split up into three sessions noon, evening and night. I was late, didn’t make it for the early session. Miss out on some great bands like Estrella and Couple but thats alright since I’ve been to many of their gigs.

I was however disappointed for missing out on bands like Harmacy, Laila’s Lounge and Plague of Happiness. It is not that often that these bands play here in K.L.

Can’t get enough of KAMI? Looking at my blog stats almost 90% of the traffic coming are from search engines are results of search phrase with something KAMI related. Why not capitalize this with yet another KAMI post?

Here is what you can do if you can’t get enough of KAMI: -

She is Yuna

Have you had a day where nothing goes as plan? Today was that day for me. I had plan to go to a friend’s wedding in Putrajaya then straight to Sentul KLPAC to catch Yuna’s mini concert for her EP launch.

I over slept. Stayed up late the night before.

Decided to skip the wedding and went straight to KLPAC for Yuna’s EP launching. It’s my second time to KLPac and it still amazes me to see such a place, such beautiful landscape to exist in the middle of a chaotic city.

The Malaysian military should seriously consider getting a few of these Valkyries VF-25 fighter jets. The VF stands for Variable Fighter, it is an aerospace fighter that has the capabilities to transform into three different modes.

KAMI hits the silver screen

Went to watch KAMI the movie during the first day of Raya. After all the boring Raya usual ritual stuff in the morning I went straight to Cineleisure Damansara. Interesting to see everyone with their pretty baju Raya at the movies.

I wanted to write this sooner, but life has other plans for me, and I had to launch MakanByte a food blog. Anyhow, this is my take on the movie.

It was well written and all that I had expected it to be. It was good but not great. I wont be going too detail as I do not want to reveal spoilers for those who haven’t yet watch the movie. And I do recommend you watch this.
