Charity show for Orang Asli Kids

Hi Guys, I ve decided for this topic i wanna write in BAHASA.

Hari tu, kitaorg dijemput untuk mengadakan persembahan Charity untuk kanak kanak Orang Asli.
Tanpa sebarang masalah, kami dengan relanya berasa Honoured kerana dijemput untuk menjayakan event tersebut. Event tersebut bertujuan untuk raise Fund Untuk kanak kanak Orang asli yang berasal dari Pahang.

Sememangnya, dari dulu lagi kitaorg dah cuba mencari peluang untuk terlibat dalam aktiviti sebegini, terutama sekali yg kena mengena dengan alam hijau, org asli, dan pelbagai isu semasa.
Jadi, apabila kami dapat jemputan untuk menjayakan event sebegini mmg kami berasa seronok sgt.

Ni gambar student from AMPAC. They're small kids, but very talented.
Mereka ini juga terlibat untuk menghiburkan kanak kanak org asli. With their Violin of course =)

Backstage, time ni all the tenaga pengajar tgh briefing the kids. But as u can see. The kids tak nak dengar, instead they re talking bout mc donalds. And one of them tgh headbang..Hehehehe.

For this event, Andy tak dpt join pasal organiser tak cukup budget untuk siapkan drum. Kesian Andy. Isk isk isk. So untuk event ni, kitaorg main accoustic.


Kita menggunakan khidmat Melina Tempered Mental (Left) sebagai percussionist. Melina bermain Jembe untuk set kami. Manakala Hanafi pula sedang bercakap dengan cicak di atas siling. Hanafi " Cicak, meh la turun, jam ngan aku sekali" Cicak replied " Chit! Chit! Chit!" Hanafi is amazed with the replies.

Masa ni tgh soundcheck. Kitaorg menggunakan rakan rakan ICOM seperti Ronnie (sitting on the right) Untuk bermain Biola dan Savy (2nd From right untuk bermain Violin) .

Kanak kanak AMPAC sedang menunjukkan aksi aksi menyanyi sambil bertepuk tangan memang berbakat. Masa aku kecik kecik dulu pun takde buat camni. Makan coklat pastu menangis je. Takde bakat langsung.
This is the teachers from AMPAC, sedang menunjukkan skill bermain musik menggunakan baldi, mangkuk, telur, gelas , sudu dan sebagainya. Very Impressive. Lawa lawa lak tu. Lucky Students!


The Beautiful AMPAC Teachers jamming with the kids with jembe. Most of AMPAC students umur dalam lingkungan 4 - 12 years old yang perform hari tu. U know, i dunno bout Hanafi and Rich. Dari first day rehearsal lagi. I was amazed with the kids. Ei, Diorg dashat dashat belaka.
They play violin, the jembe all like professional ok. Till i oso feel so segan wanna play guitar.. hehehehe. Ok ok , back to Bahasa. Kemudian....

See?! Diorg bantai kerusi pulak! tapi smart giler.. the beats yang diaorg main mmg power.
Kemudian selepas kanak kanak AMPAC selesai menghiburkan para anak anak Org Asli, Kitaorg naik stage dan jam lagu AURORA dan REMAIN UNKNOWN. Dengan bantuan Savy, Melina dan Ronnie. Crowd is very warm and supportive. I kept looking at the Anak Org asli Kids. Pasal diaorg takut dengan Din.
Ada yang nangis bila Din try nak pegang diaorg. Wahahahaha.. Its ok. I love them them still.

Melina, Hanafi and Savy Focusing and feeling it. I think this is Aurora still.


Few daripada budak budak Org Asli yang dijemput untuk naik ke pentas dan nyanyi beramai ramai. Comei comei belaka. ALalalalalala.. Nak coklat? I cannot go near them , they will cry!!
No kidding.

Masa ni kami menerima bunga dari organiser AMPAC, Thank you very much for having us.

This is our line up dat day. Beautiful People.. Harap harap dapat jam with them again!
Till then

Salam sejahtera.

History

Hey wassup everyone,

Last weekend was quite of a special historic moment for the band, we had gigs for a charity show which contributes to the "orang asli" (natives) and of course the power packed Flyniversary event at Central Park Avenue, One Utama. Why was it historic? Because it's been years since Estranged performed with another drummer apart from me.
Well i find it historic anyway. It feels weird to know the band's got a gig where i wouldn't be able to play. I was in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah for some personal & family matters, so we had to find a replacement drummer as we really wanted to support Fly FM on their anniversary as they have been giving good support towards indie & Malaysian rock bands. So there's no way we're gonna cancel this gig because of my absence.

So, i listed down a few drummers to replace me for this gig (yeah, i'm pretty picky when it comes to replacements as well!) and we managed to get the infamous Bakri, (who is an amazing drummer i tell u) who plays for a dozen of bands in Malaysia such as Gerhana Ska Cinta, Meet Uncle Hussein, Koffin Kanser, Republic of Brickfields and many more.

Bakri on the drums during jamming.

It was also a great honour that the guys got to jam with him as Din follows bands such as Koffin Kanser back in the days, and right now, they end up jamming with Bakri himself. Plus, this dude is such a down to earth bloke! (all drummers are nice! :D). Can't say the same about guitarist! Hahaha, just kidding Din and Hanafi.
Anyhow, me and the band would just like to say thank you to Bakri for helping us out and that he did a great job. Hope you guys had a great time at the Flyniversary, i heard it was crazily packed and that the crowd was amazing. And i had to miss it. Fuck.

Here's a video of Bakri jamming to "Aurora".

Peace.
