(The real) crazy transition into 2010
(Sorry ‘tomorrow’ turned into, one week later 
)
Transitioning into the new year, I thought I’d expect the usual, just one Christmas and one New Year’s celebration, then that’s it. Blog and get on with it.
But this time round, the year ending was particularly, festive.
There was so much going on, I couldn’t even catch my breath. And before I knew it, I’m on the other side of Malaysia, more like just to get away from it all, to detox and come back fresh and ready to start the new year :)
But then I look at the calendar and it’s already almost middle of January. What the. 
why does time fly away like that, WHY!
Here’s a few splashes of pictures of that crazy transition into 2010.
Definitely can’t dedicate one entire post for every single event, although some should really deserve it.
And ironically, among all the loud and insane parties going on everywhere, my favourite night out was a rather quiet one.
Scratch that. On second thought, it wasn’t that quiet after all 
with wine, guitar, (make that a whole jamming corner), and great company.
Imir entertains, on vocals and guitar. Azam on drums
There was this cozy little jamming corner in the living room, where we all hung out after dinner.
David on bass… I think.
Leon on vocals and guitar.
People took turns going up to perform a lil’ something, or just to jam.
It was then I realized that I was in a roomful of extremely talented people.
The boys would play the guitar, then switch to bass, or jump back on drums. Multi-talented can die.
And this was no random out-of-tune karaoke session or anything. I felt like I could have paid good money to watch these boys play at No Black Tie, or something. Talent overload! Someone quickly turn them into superstars, please.
Jeremy looking abit nervous here :)
Even Uncle Idris took a shot at it!
Dayumm. Also, a little side note. All the wall paintings you see were painted by Leon.
Multi-talented can die. He’s only 20, btw.
Later, we all moved out onto the patio

Good times, good times.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
@ Tom, Dick & Harry’s
Singz, Brandon, Chris, Kelvin :)
with Bryan! Super long time no seeeee
So I thought by heading to that quaint new neighbourhood bar called Tom, Dick & Harry’s with my friends would be a seemingly quiet night, (since I thought everyone else would be in KL for Bloody Beetroots)
It was an awesome surprise to see so many familiar faces there 
most of which I haven’t seen in forevermore.
Jeevan & Loong
mixing Tequila with beer. Ackk!
Chris & ShannonSaltyDogg @ afterparty ;)
And lastly…
Basement Jaxx was *SO* the bomb.
There was this crazy hype going around before the event, everyone going “WHERE’S YOUR HEAD ATTT” all over Twitter :p
Hypes like these tend to raise expectations, and then the event may fall short. Well, certainly not with Basement Jaxx. Crazy stuff. Singing and screaming all the way!
What a way to start the new year. You can see why, upon being ask to visit quiet town Miri after this, I said yes in a heartbeat.
Currently listening to: Basement Jaxx - Romeo (acoustic) ♫
(♫ genre: slow sunday, acoustic, jazz, percussion)

I’ve been to Miri like many many times. But never been to their coolest place.
