Okay kiddies, since i set my foot on the Philippine soil, i have been sneezing and drugged by anti-flu tablets so i don't think it's a good idea to write a diary yet. but for now, lemme just walk you through to some of the hightlights of what happened. you'll find the uncensored version of the diary on dane's zine IRHZine3, so make sure to grab one!! hehe!

the night we arrived in singapore! what to look for first?? FOOD! this is a 24-hour foodcourt. yum!

the infamous free-sitting van. jali on the driver's seat of course!

 

first morning in Singapore. train station near Daddie O's pad...

When the camera was set to timer... Daddie Ojie bilis! 3...2....1....Hahaha!! Running for the click of the camera! hahahaha!

Siloso Beach...

 

Tramps riding tram. hahaha!

Merlion Statue... we couldn't go to the real one. =(

 

Daddy Ojie (TSA) literally treated us like babies. Fed us, showed us around, gave us shelter, and what does most daddies do on a day out of the park? Treat his children with...ICE CREAM! Can you believe each ice cream is like 150php?

 

Time to go to the show...

Ma'ger Emman aka Farouk with biz partner Butch... no time to waste.

TSA... they keep telling us theyre old but i think they're hot!!!! hahaha! This is the minute before Daddy O bared it all... They are tight as Shaiful's ass! haha!

 

 

I have been waiting for this moment since we started planning this tour. Secret Seven's set. They are fierce, I tell yah!!!! Photo below by Rafiz...

 

Okay, our set... I'd say, its okay. Beside the fact that that there was a technical fault on my part, i really cant breathe! Last two songs, i was already seeing spots. Left the stage without fixing my things. I never do that but I needed air badly. Two gigs to go, i cant be dead yet! hahaha!

(photos of our set from Razid)

Aleg guarding Tweety with her life. Haha!!

 

 

Pinoy Seminar Attendees in Singapore.. haha! Seminar about pimpin'! hehe!

Then the next morning... Heading to Kuala Lumpur. Farouk is not happy!

Last picture with our bosses Emman and Shaiful and their driver Jali! hahaha!! Thanks Jali, hehehe! Yo girls, they're all single by the way!

Last glimpse of the Lion City, the most beautiful city I've seen. Hope to be back soon. Thanks a lot for such a great time Ojie. without you we'd be broke on our first day there. Hahahahaha!! Shaiful, for taking care of everything and for those free SOIA shirts, thanks! Jali and James for driving us. Ask shaiful for petrol money okay?! hehe! Eman, our man! hang in there! hehe! Send us an invitation. Go easy on Barons okay?!!?  Thanks for everything. I don't have to say what for... it will take forever. hehe!! Luv yah Farouk!!!To Subtle Revenge, Distrust, Pazahora, TSA, Secret Seven and everyone who came to Friday Distortion 2, thank you all. To Lion City DIY, thanks!

Then we met Niesa and the whole gang at Bau Bau Cafe near the Ricecooker Shop... ate nee goreng, we told the waiter "not spicy," our nose was dripping!

Ricecooker shop was closed but we witness the most elegant Food Not Bombs ever!!!

Zul, still sleepy after the chaos.

Damn it, we're packed! That means, we're leaving!!!

We'll bring home some spices, keychains and nothing but sweet memories of Wangsa Maju. Huhuhuhu!! Bye guys!

I left my heart in Wangsa Maju....

 

QT, Elin Sheryl, Aleg, Sunie and me

At the airport...

 

Whew... it was the most incredible experience! Not just for the band but for each and everyone of us, especially me. It's been weeks after this tour and still we can't stop talking about it. hehe! Seriously, this tour in KL won't be a success without Ein and United Front for setting up a show for us and taking care of Tweety and Butch while they're on their honeymoon. (Yuck! Haha!) The bands we've played with at Paul's Place.  And of course, to Kid and Niesa who has been very kind and sweet for setting up a Farewell party, showing us around, setting up our accomodation, for introducing us to their awesome friends. We couldnt ask for anything more.To everyone who gave us freebies, thanks! I'd like to say sorry also for everything bad that we did, i dont exactly know what but im sure there was! hehehe!!  Ive said this before and won't be tired saying it again: everything about this tour is way better than we expected. We will never ever forget your hospitality, kindness, and generosity. You've inspired us in so many ways. Again and again and again, THANK YOU Kuala Lumpur!! We love you all and hope to see each other again.
