Why people don’t hold the poles in trains.

So this post was supposed to be accompanied by a drawing of an old lady with sagging tits sandwiching the metal pole, but I couldn’t come up with anything as tasteful as circus granny (lol)

Anyway, I just had a thought about why some people don’t hold onto the pole on the trains- maybe they’re afraid of the things the pole has come into contact with before. Then I started thinking about what could touch those poles, and instantly the idea of a grandma came to my head. I swear, I don’t know why. Haha

How about the butt cheeks of some over sized person or just someone with dirty hands?

Cleanest part of the LRT to hold on to? Probably the ceiling of the train. Though not everybody is tall enough to reach it comfortably.

Okay this post was a pointless introduction to the promotion of my next performance:

FEEDBACK is an open mic show that happens once a month (every 2nd Saturday) at Cloth & Clef in Changkat Bukit Bintang. If you’re interested to sign up come slightly earlier to sign up for a slot.

You get to play 1-2 songs depending on how many sign ups there are. Set-up wise a full band can be supported (we have 2 guitar amps, a bass amp a drum kit and vocal mics). Please bring your own cables. Bands as well as solo acts are welcome.

This month’s installment features FERNS, WANI ARDY and REZA SALLEH.

FFEDBACK Open Mic is a MOONSHINE event.

I’ll be playing for the open mic so make your way down there tonight to catch me and stay for the other great acts playing as well 🙂

Inspiration kicks ass.

So I was inspired to write a new song. Haha. Finished the first and second verse and chorus today, and I’m so excited to share it just cos its a happy song and I rarely do those. It’s gonna be 2 in a row. 😀

Here’s the rough demo I did in like 3 minutes. I’ll do a proper one along with the untitled party song at a later date. In the mean time, enjoy this rough version. I’ll probably be playing this live in future gigs if I get good response here.

Walking on Clouds
you’ve got me feeling like i’m walking on clouds
and i ain’t coming down without you by my side
we’ll stroll down rainbows and pluck cotton candy
from stray clouds along the way

you’re my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
i don’t want your riches i just wanna, bathe in your glow

i’ll run my fingers through your hair
and kiss your cheek
‘cos i’m the kind of guy who takes it
nice and slow

it’s been a long time since butterflies have visited my stomach
and they ain’t leaving soon
not with you in the room
not with you in the same room as me

here’s a box of chocolates, will you be my valentine?
i don’t need wings to fly, i’ll settle for a smile

awwwww I’ve grown all sappy and shit 😀 haha
