Weekend in Manchester

Was away for the weekend, went to "surprise" Azmi (my guitar doc) who went to perform in the Brumanch Talentime thingy in Manch. I said surprise with " " pasalnya tau2 he knew me and jim coming after all...so much for the surprise LOL. But I have to respect him for "acting" surprised LOL. Thanks dude.

"Surprised Azmi"

Anyway, it was a good fun, spending the weekend away from Glasgow with bunch of awesome people, an adventure in some bits and pieces of the trip to Manch w si jim, but yea, was really good. A good reunion too, I'd have to say - met Mel, my former highschool crazy fanatic partner dangan ku begila and met my 2nd cousin Nida, who I've grown close to back when we're in ugama school. The only time i met these 2 was back in Brunei, baru tah terjumpa di UK.

Azmi's die-hard fans

Talentime itself was exciting, didn't really know what to expect but I know it's gonna be interesting to see the performance, especially Azmi's. It was soo awesome that we, well at least I did, screamed my lungs out just to cheer him up. Don't have the video with me yet, but I'll be sure to post them here if I can. There are few which I particularly like though - one from Jan (Jannah Yussop), gosh.... i wish i can play guitar and sing as good as her. She composed this song called "I'm Not Perfect" especially for her boyfriend, and it was really really undeniably one of the best song and performance I've heard from her, in fact from any talented Bruneian girls I've ever come across with (not that I've heard a lot tho kekeke). The audience litterally went silent just to hear her soft "haunting" (Edah, 2009) voice...sigh~

a MUST taken pic :P

The Stereo with Subwoofer :P

Almost everyone thought Azmi's gonna win but sadly, he didn't. He should. I don't know why but somehow there's a lot of flaws in the judging - people who you least expected to win actually won. I don't wanna bitch around about this too much, but yea, I did noticed there's quite a lot of people who are not satisfied with the results. Owh well, there's always next year Mie~
