Aku suka gambo ni haha. Susah ah petik pakai henpon kalo malam2.
klik all photos to enlarge.


k, ni kali aku cerita lebih sikit pasal reunion live gig Mr Big kat fort canning park tu ngan photos photos.

- Harga tiket

Ni yang originally buat aku tak pergi, 80 ketul, tu pun early bird, kalo late bird lagi tinggi Tapi kawan aku ingaattt kat aku huhu, tolak aku satu tiket extra dia ada, dapat la yours truly gi. Yeahh.

Kalo VIP tiket, aku rasa $300 kot? tapi VIP best ler, boleh bercengkerama ngan Mr Big semua lepas show dan aku rasa ada ler special gifts tentunye.
Satu aku suka Fort Canning selain open air, ialah takde segregation tiket, diri ler mana nak, nak depan pandai2lah nak hidup, nak duduk guling2 atas rumput pun boleh tapi kat blakang la haha.
Hopefully Slayer next time kat sini la, tak mau kat expo lagik, PEASANTS TICKETS TAK NAMPAK APA2 SEY hehe.


- Merchandise
Nengok gambo ni,

tshirt Mr Big Reunion tour live 40 ketul.
Poster dia 20 ketul.
Aku suka tshirt dia, lawa...
kawan aku beli...lihatlah design depan dan belakang dia. Cantikkan?






- Mr Big themselves


2 jam , 2 encore,
sound alrite untuk telinga aku, fun, entertaining, hapi2, smua lagu gerek dan solo spots dan jam session tak boring... ( aku rasa aku nak tangkap cd live in budokan nanti ), kecuali dorang tak bawak satu lagu aku expect - Promised Her The Moon.
Lagu2 famous dorang cam big puff daddy lover brader , temperamental, british bulldog huhu, addicted to rush, green tinted 60s mind, take cover etc smua ada.
to be with you , just take my heart, wild world, sua terang ada ler dan aku sebagai peminat hardcore of the hardcore lagu2 jiwang bunga2 sentimental meleleh ala Air Supply, sangat suka haha.
ada Highway to Hell dan SOTW lagik..

multi talented dorang empat orang ni.




Paul Gilbert ngan Billy Sheehan memang menghiburkan, cam aku cakap, dorang buat macam2 kecuali aku tengok dorang tak makan je gitar ngan bass dorang haha.

Time Highway to Hell tu, serious berbual, time Paul Gilbert start je, terus kecoh giler, ingat cam dia main2 je sikit, tapi bila dia siap nyanyi memang fantastic abis respon peminat.




Ni part, Paul Gilbert ngan Billy Sheehan ngah jamming, Eric Martin duduk cam kat gambo ni la, abis je dia tanya audience ler, gerek ke tak gitu, lepas tu dia cakap " every night, I get the front row seat to see these two guys in action ".




Ni part dorang keluarkan double neck dorang, so Eric Martin ngan Pat Torpey pun datang join in. Kecoh.



Well organised, dan aku suka staff yang manned depan stage, kasi botol2 mineral water kat mereka belah depan ngah himpit2 tu..



cam gini ler first to barrier gitu huhu.. kalo Maiden cam mana eh?
nak first to barrier lucky draw jugak kena masuk haha.



ni part mana ntah...




ni interesting time smoke on the water during 2nd encore ( ngan shy boy last song ),
Paul Gilbert kat tempat drums ler, then eric martin gitar, pat torpey on bass, billy sheehan on vokals.
dah abis 2nd korus je, dorang swap tiga orang..billy sheehan yang solo gitar, eric martin bass, drummer lak jadi vokal, paul gilbert stay kat drums.



ni 2nd time aku nampak Smoke On The Water ada swap separuh jalan, first time dulu2 masa Deep Purple main kat fort canning jugak, Roger Glover ngan Steve Morse pun swap. Kecoh. Tu jam aku takde kamera henpon lagik, tu kalo dapat snap masa dorang swap2 time lagu tengah main, mesti best buat kenangan.


Billy Sheehan ngan jadi ritchie blackmore sey..


Its a very nice show la, memorable pasal smua pun best, dan dorang start just nice gitu 8.40pm gitu, takle lewat sangat, tu kot dorang seret 2nd encore.

Mr Big reunion live - short review

a short blog about Mr Big reunion live show on 18 Oct 2009 (just now) at Fort Canning Park Singapore.

1- Paul Gilbert & Billy Sheehan did everything on their guitars and bass except eating them.
2- Eric Martin voice was great, just like on the cassette tapes and cds and in my case - mp3s.

3- Pat Torpey was on drums but just like on their dvds and 'youtube', he did come forward to help with Billy Sheehan double neck bass, and also sing lead vocals on Smoke On The Water.
4- Yes, Mr Big did SOTW during the 2nd encore with Paul Gilbert on drums, Eric Martin on guitars, Pat Torpey on bass, Billy Sheehan on vocals and halfway thru the song, three of them switch instruments and Billy Sheehan took over the guitar for the Ritchie Blackmore solo while Eric Martin took over the bass and Pat Torpey sang.

5- They did all their famous songs from the Paul Gilbert era ( the only Mr Big stuff that I am quite familiar are their hits, lol ), except Promised Her The Moon was not played.
6- They also did AC/DC HIGHWAY TO HELL, with Paul Gilbert also singing, and this was the super big surprise of the night.

7- They were on stage for maybe more than 2 hrs due to the 2nd encore, and nobody expect that.
8- Billy Sheehan gave a short speech at the end about how they love it here, and he claimed thats what they answered during interviews regarding the best places they had played.

9-Special thanks to my friend and his friends for giving me a spare ticket, or else I did not go at all.
10-It was fun, wearing slippers and enjoying the night in the park, I was planning to just laze on the grass at the rear of the crowd, enjoying some nice radio friendly rock music, but I cant resist the temptation to go forward up to the barrier Paul Gilbert side haha.




Nanti aku cerita lebih dan tampal gambo yang taklah cantik, tapi kasi korang get the idea.

Bandung last kopek (pt 4) - street scene & amanda

ALL PHOTOS IS ON FLICKR ALBUM TO YOUR RIGHT SEMUA FOTOS DI FLICKR ALBUM SEBELAH KANAN 14/06/2010 All PHOTOS are gone from from this postings Anyone interested, I uploaded the photos again at my FLICK account Click on the right hand side of the blog Aku paling suka tengok foto street scenes. Warning - Many photos. Click each to enlarge Satu benda best pakai digital camera, nak snap berapa banyak pun boleh asal cukup SD card dan bateri. Rumours kat forum Maiden pasal photo book tour SBIT release end of this year yang John McMurtrie snap dan dia ada total 85,000 foto. Cammana tu? Aku petik 100 foto aku tak tahu mana nak taruk blog, dia ada 85,000 fotos Maiden untuk SBIT tour, cammana ler photo-book dia nanti kalo betul released for sale. Ni luar pejabat pos dorang, ada all these gentlemen jual barang2 cam envelop, pen, kertas tulis surat, poskad etc. Apa aku boleh belajar dari banyak street scenes ni ialah, rezeki ada kat mana2 dan penting mesti berkat. pasar dorang..click to enlarge ni aku snap pakai henpon. different forms of transport cam Angkutan , kuda, railway system.. so ada highway to Jakarta jadi we were told travelling time guna highway ni 2 jam aje. Seems macam a small angkutan interchange gitu.. As a public transport user, mana2 aku pergi, salah satu cara aku nilai sesuatu tempat tu best ke tak ngan public transport facilities dia dan jugak best ke tak toilets tempat2 aku pergi tu.. Aku selalu nampak kat tv je, tapi kat sini nampak scene cam kat traffic light junctions ada orang nyanyi2 mintak donation etc, or jual merchandise dorang. Mungkin ada korang enjoy street scenes cam gini..huru hara, jualan, dan macam2 nye aktiviti dan kecoh2. Anyway, kat Bandung ni money changer smua very strict, sampai siap mintak IC, isi info dalam komputer, kena tunggu lagik, padahal tukar seratus duaratus je. tak macam money changer kat Malaysia dan Singapore, fastgame. Ada sekali tu, note 50 ketul koyak sikit je, anaje dia punya koyak tu, nak kena tengok betul2, tu pun the lady at the counter dah sound, siap cakap kalo aku nak tukar jugak that note, dorang deduct 20,000Rp. Aku ambik balik. Strict giler sey, tapi tu la kot culture kat tempat ni. Ni lak street food kat Bandung gitu, those tolak2 nye gerai jual makan tepi jalan. Harga alrite ler, nasik kuning which is sort of nasik+kunyit & nasik ramas or rames, which is sort like nasik campur, cost about 7,000Rp to 10,000Rp je which is about 2rm plus. Mungkin mahal pasal aku tak cakap dialect dorang? so kena ketuk? tapi masuk sokkabar, harga tiket bola nengok liga pro indon is about S$2 for normal seating. Aku tak beli ah jersi Persis Bandung, gerek ah pakai jersey bola Indon, dorang punye liga bola nampak macam best, those 40,000-70,000 crowd. Visiting team tak salah aku yang Jakarta nye team tu, lawan Bandung Persis kat Bandung, lepas tu dorang menang, so fans Bandung riot dan akhirnye, team lawan tu kena escort keluar stadium pakai kereta tank huhu. Nasib baik kot aku gi tu jam liga Indon belum start, dorang start kelmarin, kalo tak dah ada kot riots bola huhu. Mesti gerek ah pakai jersi Persis Bandung huhu. Nak carik kat ebay.indon.com huhu. Anyway, stadium besar sey. nasi rames or ramas, aku ingat dorang ramas2 nasik tu, rupanya tak. Ni lauk pauk kat gerai ni. durian ice-cream dorang, sedap, siap ada taruk dalam plastik lagik paper cup yang dah ada content eskrem ni, bagus pasal kita kurang nak litter sebarangan pasal kita boleh pegang dulu sampai jumpa mr tong, kalo pegang tangan kan nanti melekit dah kita selit kat mana2 kan. bubur ayam dorang have keropok on top, popular sey bubur ayam ni aku nengok, ramai customer, makan duduk2 kat sekeliling dia gitu. nasik kuning , su'un is still called su'un huhu. Universal jugak ni word. There is this bakery called Amanda specialising in brownies. Macam2 brownies. So cam size kotak kasut kecik sikit, is about 20,000 RP gitu about 6+ RM gitu. Sedap, especially the original. Tapi actually smua pun sedap ler. So korang gi Bandung jangan lupa singgah Amanda. Tapi along the city street pun aku nampak penjaja tepi jalan jual Amanda gitu, mungkin distributor kot. hopefully the food, sight-seeing, shopping, price guide in these last few posts will give a rough idea to those who have no idea about Bandung yet.

Bandung takde mee bandung (pt 3) - mesjid raya bandung, makans lagik

ALL PHOTOS IS ON FLICKR ALBUM TO YOUR RIGHT SEMUA FOTOS DI FLICKR ALBUM SEBELAH KANAN Warning - Lots of photos. Pls click each to enlarge. lain tempat lain culture, kita pun 1st time sini, jadi aku tak snap di dalamnye walaupun discreetly. Masjid Raya Bandung on the right Lawa.. majestic gitu. click to enlarge Ada satu taman open air besar kat sebelah mesjid ni, so ni lepas subuh gitu dah masuk pagi, ramai orang lepak2 sembang2 or whatever ler. so budak2 pun ramai, so aku tak tahu sangat ler dorang dari mana or memang dari sini.. sorang ni ngah rest sebelah kain rentang ni.. perkataan Jihad ni, Slayer pun pakai dan tak salah aku ni salah satu lagu yang kena ban dari perform 2, 3 tahun lepas masa dorang perform kat Expo. Tapi pada aku kain rentang ni salah satu penggunaan yang sesuai bunyinye. kat sekitar kawasan mesjid ni pun individu2 jualan makan minum...so ni example org ni jualan breakfast gitu siap ngan hot drinks. So lagi pasal makan.. selain Kampung Daun & Sangu Liwet.. untuk Sunda food boleh try sini Resto Karamba. Mula2 memang cuak jugak masuk tempat gini, pasal nampak cam a bit hi end, tapi sebenarnye dorang punye price memang sangat reasonable ler. Makan macam2 tapi harga eqiuvalent kita lepak kat mekdi or kfc gitu. Aku suka nengok nasik hidang cam gini... ayam dish, sayur dish, ikan bakar, lain2 kedai lain2 style dan rasa. Tapi semua sedap. For masakan Padang, kita try kat Simpang Raya Apa orang cerita memang betul ler, dorang akan hidang berbelas2 lauk depan korang. Apa korang pegang/rasa, korang bayar. Hygiene purpose dan elak confusion, mana yang rasa kita tak mau, terus letak kat tepi. consumed put aside again cam tempat2 lain, murah dari kita nye mekdi or kfc meal. Seafood lak, try kat D'Cost Seafood Macam2 seafood ada, dan again harga dia is very reasonable. Lagi tempat bersih dan spacious. udangs, sayurs, ketams, ikans etc etc etc Hotel food lak, shredded cheese goreng pisang with ice cream mushroom soup popiah goreng pisang with ice cream tom yang gong Next one, street scenes and street food photos..
