awards and stuff

so the mtv asia awards came and went, it felt like it was not too long ago while i was camped out in M2 with my fellow colleagues, snacking on twizzlers and swearing like a vulgar piece of motherf***er (seems like that bug hasnt really left me yet).

The experience in itself was bittersweet. There were many days when I was up in the mountains, I felt like giving up, just throwing in the towel and just walking away. We endured long hours, we fought, we got testy, we were short with each other, we ate crappy food, we slept ridiculously little and everything seemed like it was all going wrong. But it all came through in the end, and I have to say, it feels pretty f***ing awesome.

Hats off to Chee Meng and Wei Keng (my respective bosses) who have taught me so much since Jan 2008 - today. They really delivered a stellar line up despite the many hiccups. Though I still think that the location was crappy as fuck (why bother self-censoring myself), and it's safe to say that I am NOT going to be flying on Malaysian Airlines any time soon, neither am I going to be going up to Genting in the near future, it all came through.

Nonetheless, I came home and slept like a log for 20 hours straight, and I sat next to Panic At The Disco on my flight back home, I have alot of memories to walk away with from this experience. Working on a show entirely on music is one thing, working on a show entirely on POP music is another. I think I suffered the repercussions of poplovingmusic far too much, so much so, I came home and embraced my indie nature to the maximum.

Elbow, M83, Booka Shade, Kina Grannis are some of my finds. If you have some time, check them out. I am off to bed and then it's back to school.

i hate school. I just want to live with music and nothing else. goddamit.
