The New Year Empire

Happy New Year People ! 

Once again , i’ve decided to end 2012 with a gig . And start the new year by doing what i love – playing guitar .

Choice of axe : 
.

.
Laney LC50 , Made in UK and my faithful Ibanez guitar .

Well , its a PARTY GIG . I am going to need a nice light weight beater guitar , and a high gain tube amp .

Venue ? Empire Hotel , Subang . Sweet .
.

.
What i love about Empire hotel?

Besides the uniqueness & “boutique-ness” feel . I really really really like the stage .

Check it out .
.

.
Our setup before the gig . The stage is one of those “Light & Bright” stage that you always see on MTV ..

..and wonder do people actually perform on this ?

.

.
This is me . Suit up ! YEAH !

Not exactly my best suit , and not my favorite shoe .

But hey , again , its a party gig ..I am going with all-beater style . Leave the good stuff at home .
.

.
This is us , our super meeting .

Nope , wasn’t nervous ..even though i didn’t perform for quite some time .
.

.
The crowd . Enjoying their meal .
.

.
Alright , power chord time .

TIME TO ROCK !!!

Gig review : 

This gig reminded me of my university days .

When my band was young , we were jumping on the stage like rockstars , the crowd was crazy , the music was loud & rockin’

Then we got into events , became somewhat professional , toned down a little bit . Its all about what the client wants right ? Just shut up and play!

I thank God for this experience , my final moments of 2012 .

I felt really young that night . Its like God is telling me “Clement , you still rock , you know? Never give up ”

The last time my band rocked this hard was probably more than a year ago .

In terms of food, booze , perks & pay . Well , its a hotel . ITS GREAT ! Couldn’t ask for more .  Definitely a top 5 in my book .

What a night to remember .

Happy 2013 .

My 500th Post , 2012

I’ve been reserving my 500th post for this day .

2012

I call 2012 – a new beginning .

What a great year for me . This year is the best year of my life . (i say this every year , and i would love to say that again next year)
The feeling of 2012 , is some what similar to 2008 . Let me paint another picture for you .

You’ve been climbing a tall mountain ..with hard work & perseverance , you reached the top , you achieve your goals . 
Then , it is time go home ..sit back , relax , walk down hill , enjoy the view , enjoy the ride .
After your break , its time to gear up and move on to the next mountain , a bigger , more challenging one .  

From 2004-2007 , it was the time i was climbing a very tall mountain , my challenge was finding a balance between – my band , studies , love life & my job as a guitar teacher .
It was an uphill journey . But i managed to pull it through .
In 2008 , i graduated , established my band , had a great girlfriend (my wife today) and had enough funds to start a shop (Music Master)
As a student ,I gave my best and be the best i could be . 2008 was a very chilling year (walking downhill after climbing my mountain) , i was relaxing and enjoying what i’ve achieved .

Sept 2008 , i moved on – i can’t be teaching guitars , playing for events my whole life right? I needed a new mountain to climb .
That new mountain  was Music Master .

Back to 2012 , i think i’ve done my best for Music Master for the past 4 years .
My vision in 2008 was to improve the music scene in Malaysia . I wanted to see revolution , i wanted more competition , i wanted more brands in Malaysia .
Look at Malaysia today . 5 years ago , nobody would imagine this day will come – Shops constantly bringing in new products , aggressive year end sales etc .

I am glad that Music Master contributed its part to this .

Jan 2012 – November 2012 was a *walking downhill after climbing my mountain for me . I’ve been enjoying my life ..harvesting the fruits , enjoying 4 years of hard work .
I got married , had 2 honeymoons (Paris & Japan) . Went to Korea for business . Tried Andriod for the first time and HATED IT. Got into shoes , spectacles , bags , suits . Increased my watch collection.
Come to think of it , i think i spend more money in 2012 , than the whole 25 years of my life .
Too bad i haven’t bought my car yet – after hearing Pakatan will reduce car price if they win the election , zzzz waiting time again .

To be continued .
