Iris Alessandra Desiree.
Hari ini dan di hari mendatang ... si kecil ini adalah nyawa saya!
I've made a concious decision to start writing again... I haven't written anything in years. Not thinking about writing well, but just to write something. Lets write about people I love, those I met, days I survived and places I've been in my lifetime.
Selamat Hari Raya
July 28, 2014
It's Hari Raya.
We celebrated it with our good friend in our Home Sweet Home, Bdr Mahkota Cheras. We prolonged our celebration until the next morning in the Iris Studio. It was not just Hari Raya, for me it was more into the celebration of friendship. Singing together with guitar plucking, live recording, drinking, eating, sharing jokes ... life rocks when friends around!
Thanks bala kaban for your presence : Khel, Tika, Emelda, Delin, Degor, Agus, Wes, Imelda, Larry, Ciciy and the other AKS's staff.

Andy vs Dewa Budjana
July 17, 2014
Facts about Mr Andy vs Dewa Budjana
Year 2007 :
Claimed himself as the No. 1 fan of Paul Gilbert. He used to dreamed of this guitar at night, and of course, daydream of it and imagine himself holding it by facing the big mirror. Watched Paul's technique and practiced a lot. Heck, we bought the signatured guitar by Paul Gilbert and cheap headphone completed the collection. Struggled with life as a musician and a father, at that time, having too little means so much. - But today those memories are priceless to us.
Year 2014 :
Claimed to every musician he met as his Idol, hehe. I believe, this is the humble way how he respects others. Godin is always his No. 1 weapon. Today, it is not the cost of a guitar that worries him nor how good is his guitar technique. Well, let me tell you guys a funny secret about this guy: his major concern before, during and after the show is his HAIR, how is that??! Until 1 day I was speechless when he saw his own photo in Berita Harian, recently & said confidently in front of me, "I look like Dewa Budjana". I thought because Gigi band inspires his music... it was the hair that make him Dewa Budjana.
Hair is part of his musicianship. Damn!
My Sulu, I always tell you romantic moment happens when it involves YOU, ME and the GUITAR. Trust me now?!!!

City Escape Day @ Sg Congkak
July 15, 2014
It was a public holiday ... Nuzul al-Quran, and it was a city escape day for us.
We spent our short holiday with our BFFs, went for a picnic at Sungai Congkak : BBQ, eating, drinking, sharing jokes, picnicking, singing & playing guitar.
What a miracle ... I met our old school mate, Jamal Bol who joint us here today. The reunion made me realize that there were 4 Bidayuh buddies in the forest that day.
Sungai Congkak is a popular recreational forest in the Hulu Langat, located 33km away from the city, an ideal gateway for those who want to experience the great Malaysian outdoors. It is also known as Chongkak Park and Resort and is managed by Tourism Selangor. Activities and facilities here include camping, picnicking, BBQs and bathing in the clear cool water of natural river pools and rapids amid the tall tropical rainforest trees.

Belated Birthday at AKB
July 15, 2014
We went to Anak Kanpung Borneo Pub & Bistro (AKB) at 2 am in the morning to join our BFFs 'lepak2' here. Our friend Larry & Ciciy, who are also the staff of AKB sent request to the band on stage to greet Andy & I with a Happy Birthday song. We were called to be on stage as an honour for drink a toast. By the way, it was a belated birthday for both of us.
Located at Taman Segar Perdana, Cheras, AKB was founded in Nov. 25, 2012. The name "Anak Kampung Borneo" inspired by the Sabah & Sarawak people who come to Semenanjung Malaysia and most of them are from "kampung2".
For me, AKB is not just a small club to drink & get drunk... I look at it as a place to celebrate friendship, as we did today.
