Why so scared? I take picture only dei! Won't eat you wan!

My only question is this, how the hell do you hear the music in thos headphones when you bang the drum so loud?! Xiao ar?!

Truth is I didn't know Jeffrey was in the band until recently. So much for being the lead singer and all...
So as Mei Khong was supposed to be taught the bass by Amir today (yes, he doesn't know how to play the bass yet but Amir's teaching him... yet he's still in a band), he just sat around as I tested the mic's volume and tried to tone my voice to match the songs we were gonna play.

IN came Amir, penuh gaya with his distortion and wahwah paddles. As we waited for him to connect them, I took the bass guitar off the stand and started pretending to know what to do with it, before Amir grabbed it from me to start teaching Mei Khong. As this was Mei Khong's first time, he didn't really touch the bass guitar so much using 'Charles bangs the drums too loud, I cannot hear the bass' as an excuse.
I'm really confident though that he will get the hang of it and start playing it well... that is, if he doesn't quit the band first.

In time, that face will be alongside ours on every FOJ album sold worldwide!

So anyway, we kicked off the jamming by practising Taking Back Sunday's Cute Without The 'E'. For the first song of they day, I'd say we didn't do THAT bad...
From there, we went on to do Enter Sandman by Metallica, then Helena by My Chemical Romance...

Honestly, I couldn't catch the tempo of the song so I sang way too fast, then way too slow before Mei Khong got fed up from watching, got up then took the mickey and demanded we play Cochise by Audioslave... sadly his request wasn't fulfilled at all for the rest of the session.
Even so, he retained the mic for the next song, Duality by Slipknot. I was gritting my teeth at not being let to sing one of my favourite songs. Then again, it was his fave too.

Unfortunately for him (but fortunate enough for me), he couldn't remember some of the lyrics que-ing my move to kick him away from the mic stand.

So then the next song Amir, Charles and Jeffrey wanted to play was Like Light To Flies by Trivium. This was a song I wasn't very familiar with so I sat it out and let Amir take the lead.

Cheh! Purposely play that song to replace me and take MY spotlight! MY fame! MY glory!

Well, honestly they managed that song pretty well without me. The next song we tried to play was System of a Down's Chop Suey. I say this is the second best song we played the entire session. Then came the vocally half-cooked Before I Forget (Slipknot). My screaming was kinda perfect for this song but I forgot the verse lyrics.

In the end, we ended the session with playing Cute Without The 'E' and Like Light To Flies Again...

I'd say this was the best two hours ever spent music-wise...

Oh and if any of you are wondering why there aren't any pictures of myself put up on this page, it's because I always save the BEST for last..
