Making of our Second Track - The Examiner

Inspired by Nu-disco, Acid Jazz and house, Kurt and myself have decided to work on a collaboration and this is what we came out with!
I am really proud of how this track is sounding!

When a bro cum producer aka Kurt asked me to go over to make an EP within 3 days, the first thing that went through my head is "how is tat even possible??"

But I was proven wrong as in such a short time frame, we've managed to fully complete and arrange one track! It's madness and I'm glad I made the right move and accepted this exchange program.

I've packed my gear and headed over immediately as soon as I've woken up from my sleep.( Apparently this sleeping has gone so out of hand but I decided to just be as productive whatever the situation is! )

It really helps working together with Kurt who in my opinion is really good with programming beats and choosing the right sound for the track and alas there is so much to learn and experience!

This is Not A Disco Mix Live Vol.2 by clashthediskokids

You know a great mix when you hear one, especially when you are listening to Nu-disco! Woop Woop! Props to Kurt for this mix! Real music minus those irritatingly pleasing electro stuff!

Point Blank Online - Electro House for Logic Course

For those who are using the logic platform to work their beats, this is what the students from point blank came out with and I do like what I am hearing, without the use of any VSTs it's really good stuff! I can't imagine if the tracks were mastered how it would sound like!

Human Interaction

After nearly a month of total solitude, I realized human interaction is much needed for any human beings. I was on the verge of insanity, and my sleeping patterns is totally not helping me at all. Nonetheless I decided to head out when I received a phone call from Ling and I pretty much without any hesitation just headed out. Though we had nothing much to do, it was nice enough for me to have had a human interaction, and for some reason that made me happy.

Since we didn't want to club enough at that moment, we went separate ways and I headed over to Andy's for a soccer match. I never watch soccer in general but in my attempt to "socialize" I did what I had to do and it turn out to be a super match ( Germany 4 and Argentina 0 ). I really had fun but thats not it.

After the match, Gwen invited me over to Zouk to hang out and I went. It's really nice to see people out again.. I just realized how important human interaction is.

Weird Dreams: Jun Mei

It is 7:08am in the morning and I am officially woken up from one of the strangest dream I ever had i. Its about this girl I knew since secondary school and her name's Jun Mei,
Yeah shes a damn special person no doubt but since I'm trying to remember the dream, I think i will talk about it later.

I was somehow in some kind of convention hall area and when the talk or movie screening ended, I got up and out of my sit and I somehow find myself reconnected back with and old friend Jun Mei. We had a an awesome friendship in real life which I think I sorta fuck up half way and we are no longer in contact in real life. So you can understand that in this dream when I "met" her its kinda weird but we smiled and somehow its about how we "overcome" that barrier.. We started having small conversations clearly about random stuff I do not know. And we started talking about random things and random things and random things. It started to get strange.

I told her i needed to use the bathroom and so I went, took a pee brought down my pants and for some strange reason i left my pants down and went out only to be embarrassed and went back into the toilet. I met Vincent and Louis Chan, My ex manulife colleagues and they were like happy to see me but I couldnt be bothered all that much.. put on my pants and started to find Jun.

Throughout our conversations, she told me a series of stuff which seriously made no sense to me. She said " Melvin, we are vices to each other.." I'm like okay,.."what is vices? I thought vices is like a bad thing? " she said vices is good and somehow in that dream, vices took the meaning of "made-for-each-other" or 2 piece in a pot.. something along that lines.. I went oooh.. and smiled.

It seemed all so well that we spent a considerably long time catching up and the barrier soon came apart and we no longer felt awkward towards each other. Now for some strange reason we are like in some kind of carnival.. and she asked me, " Melvin, what would you have done differently back then?" I mean.. what does she literally meant by that?? I'm totally clueless and then another of my .. this time a Primary school friend appeared and it was Melody in the carnival! I'm Like WOAHA! She was wearing this english dress costume from the 30's you know those elegant phantom of the opera stuff and you hold a mask thingy ? she didnt had the mask thingy on but had a victorian wig. I stared upwards at her as she was coming down the stairs and I told Jun hey thats my childhood friend! I shouted .. " Melody! Melody! " and she looked at me almost as if she was expecting me to be there and all and totally unsurprised and said " I'm Meeting Gwen later! Yes the friend she is going out with she told ya? its me! " I'm stunned shit. I'm like OH! wah lao then she never tell me... and I ended the conversation by saying "CATCH YOU LATERS" Melody just walked off.

Apparently that move made me felt popular and Jun only smiled at me this whole while and asked me why didn't I go for her? She's Hot ! I'm like.. "Jun, I'm a total retard.. there are many things i could have done.. back then.. " I started telling the history of Melody how I got to know her and how i had this crush on her when i was a kid but didnt dare admit it cause I thought it was taboo to like girls at that time and if anyone liked any girl it be like YEEEEE and there.. fuckin story of my life. Jun just laugh it off .. the irony here is that it seems all my "tragedies" I faced in life somehow made an awesome conversation between Jun and sorta helped us bonded back closer.

We walked to a train station and she told me she gotta go.. I had a specific objective but forgo it to send her back and take a ride with her.. (I used to be like that.. in real life.. ) it all seem like a fairy tale.. I then thought about what she said..what I would have done differently back then.. I didn't even dare tell her in my dreams the true answer.. I said nothing.. but in actual fact.. whats in my head was " I would probably have talked much lesser and just made love to you . "

Okay the dream sorta more or less ended there with more random plots which has totally no meaning to the story.. it is an extremely strange dream and when I woke up, the very first thing i did.. without hesitation was to give Jun a SMS to find out how is she doing and that I missed the good old days and please take care. It was damn hard for me to make that gesture without sounding weird but I just didnt care about how i would look or occur in her view. Cause this is the actual feeling I am having, I genuinely wanted her to be well. Almost as if I am dying tomorrow and thats all I cared about.

It's totally weird.. in a pleasant way of course... and it scared me when I checked google " we are vices to each other" it did showed up "made for each other.." along that line.. That scared the shit out of me.. how could I possibly know that? I wonder if its all in the infinite power in my sub conscious state telling me something that I should have done or should do in the future.

I need a dream interpreter for this one.
