Sorry , I don’t do businessman
I was talking to my close friend the other day . We knew each other since high school .We talked about who’s who now , who is dating who , who is pregnant , who is getting married and who is rich . We realized , wow …time flies . Don’t you agree ? its the end of 2009 now ..
Then ,
He asked me ” So , what have you achieve in 2009? “
frankly speaking , i didn’t know what to answer , so i replied “err..i gain extra 10kg ? ”
Then he replied “No Clem , you changed . From a musician , to a businessman”
Seriously , i was pissed . WTF . I am still a MUSICIAN FFS !!
Well , It is still an opinion of a close friend . And to honor his opinion , i decided to change how i look for my next gig ..
A Businessman :
Wears specs ? ( hey , most of them DO OK ! )
Fat
Wear nice coat and look professional
Short hair
Have a kickass shoe
So this is the new businessman gigging gapnap . no more rockstar wannabe looking gapnap .
.

I think i did quite well , the only part was the JEANS ..
The rest , pass lah right ?

our event in Hilton KL .

the crowd .

the band pics ..we don’t look like a band . We look like some wannabe CEO from Music Master .
Anyway , i know its December . You guys have many gigs .
If you’re playing in a hotel or a ballroom . Go early and setup . really .
I just wanna bitch about large corporate chain hotels and their retarded system and procedures .
1. Scanning time to enter the hotel’s loading bay – 5 minutes
2.Waiting in the loading bay , found out we need to fill up some forms so that our equipments can enter the hotel – 20 minutes
3. Filling in long ass forms – 5 minutes
4. Waiting for approval (this is the bitch) – 30 minutes
5. Waiting for hotel guys to bring trolley for us – 20 minutes
6. Getting stuck in a stupid loading bay lift – 10 minutes
7. Setting up time – rush through. 2 minutes dress up time and start playing .
Now i know why Paris Hilton is retarded . Good thing the hotel gave us good food and free flow of beer . If not i sure go crazy .
By the way , i was bullshitting about the wanna look like businessman part . (but the close friend thing was true)
I didn’t have time to bath , dress up properly , put on my contact lenses , eat and rest properly for this event . All because of this retarded system . I nearly died when i reach home . 3pm all the way to 1am . Lucky the Temple of Shred has 2 x 2.0 HP air cons and plenty of 100 plus downstairs .
FML .
