Acoustic Night At Mardigras One Utama - 26.11.09

Hey all, its been a while since i post anything here, maybe its cause of exams and stuff. Im in the midst of my final and i'm all stressed out. What better way to release stress by going out with your friends. Once again two of my classmates, Shah & Kevin, performed at Mardigras bar, and its my second time going there. This time it was only for acoustics.
As usual, the sound guy came late, they only started the sound check at 9 and the show is supposedly start at 9.30. No matter, i chilled at OU first, walk around, looking for my winter boots, cause im going to Korea at the end of this year. Then i meet up with my friends at Mardigras and we sat down and chill.
Apparently we were all tired that night so some of us look dead and pale, cause most of us had a shooting at college. I didnt feel like going at first, but since the next day was a public holiday (Raya Korban), i figiured i should let loose. Shah & Kevin was the 3rd to perform, and i have to be honest the band who performed before them was fucking boring. Shah's & Kevin's performance was ok, i think it would be could if the drummer was there.
After they performed, they left immediately because of a cerfuew, so i stayed there for a while. Then i remembered Liyana telling me that she was going to MOS that night, so i ring her and asked if i could join, she said yes. So i went to MOS, but sadly i couldn't get in for free so i had to pay RM40 for the cover charge.
I met some old friends at MOS, Irwan (King) and Jack, and they were celebrating their graduation. MOS was jammed packed that night and i couldn't even find a space to dance so i just chilled most of the time. If i wasn't tired, i would probably enjoy a 100%, but what to do i didnt plan on coming at first.

JOKES, funny, stupid, dirty, etc.

BAR JOKE:
A guy came into a bar one day and said to the bartender, “Give me six double vodka.”
The barman says, “Wow! you must have had very bad day.”
“Yes, I’ve just found out my older brother is gay.”

The next day the same guy came into the bar and asked for the same drinks.
When the bartender asked what the problem was today the answer came back, “I’ve just found out that my younger brother is gay too!”

On the third day the guy came into the bar and ordered another six double vodkas.
The bartender said, “What the hell? Doesn’t anybody in your family like women?”

“Yes, my wife…”

WORST DAY:

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.

Then, this big trouble-making guy steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, “Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I’ll buy you another drink. I just can’t stand to see a man cry.”

“Today is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. I get a cab to return home, and when I get out of the cab, I forgot my wallet, cash and credit cards in the there. The cab driver just drives away.”

“When I get home, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison.”

BLACK EYES:

A man came to work on Monday morning with two black eyes. His boss asked what happened.

The man replied, “On Sunday, I was sitting behind a big woman at church. When we stood up to sing hymns, I noticed that her dress was caught in her butt crack, so I was trying to be nice and I pulled it out for her. Then, she turned around and punched me in the eye.”

The boss asked, “Okay, so where did you get the other shiner?”

“Well,” the man said, “I figured she didn’t want it out, so I pushed it back in.”

Farewell My seniors!!

   3rd November 2009, was the last day, the last moments and the last curtain call for the Graduating batch of March 2007 in the diploma of performing arts. The Roof Top Theatre of sunway college was the venue for their last gig before they part ways. Reuben, Khaz, Roger, Ping, June, Alou, Howard and Aaron performed their last show for us. It was the best performance ever, it was hilarious, spontaneous and very entertaining to watch. The audience were hypnotized and couldn't take their eyes of the performances. It was something to remember them by. Syok Sendiri, was the name of the show and i tell you, it was a whole lot of syok.    

   A combination of various exercises that they learnt were put together to produce a marvelous show, an imrov acting  with some volunteers from the audience which makes them closer to the show, imitations of the lecturers made me laugh my ass off, a short joke every 10 minute from roger keeps us warmed up, Khaz's monologue got the ladies' amusement, and Howard's dancing made us wanna move.

   The show lasted for 2 hours, but it didnt feel like 2 hours, it felt like an hour, and we wanted more from them when it ended. They finish off by doing a trade mark 'signing the attendece' which symbolizes their final dot in this course. It was a very memorable moment, and even though it was only for 2.5 years, but i feel that they have known each other for a long time, i feel that i had known them for more than a year. 

    Different feelings and emotions starts to flow out when the show ended. I went up to all of them and gave them a hug, and wish them luck for their future. Some of my friends were in tears, some were proud and sad for them, and it was a sad moment but i couldn't  cry. All in all, me and my friends, and the March 08 batch will miss u guys. God luck and farewell March 07, and thanks for the great show!!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!
