Orchestral dreams December 23, 2008

I grew up loving music. I’ve been loving music since the time could ever remember. My parents and aunts used to play Roxxete, Barry Manillo and so on. Till today those songs are still ringing in my ears. Other than influence music really helps me with those rough times and keeps the soul and spirit high. My love for music really expanded when I started to grow older to be specific when I started form one. I love all kind of music and my 50 GB of music proves it. Although people knowing me may see I listen to rock pop and all the mainstream shit but I secretly admire underground band’s, trance ( now people know already lol ) and orchestral music.

I’ve been to rock concerts like before and haven’t got a chance to watch an orchestra live. Today my wish came true in a very odd way should I say. This is because I was hesitated to go to this so called mini orchestra held in Berjaya hotel one stop which featured the SGGS band ( this made me didn’t want to go lol ) and the Nakumura Girls School ( they call all the way from Japan and this I wanted to see). I really thought it was going to be boring when I heard school girls were playing. I was so darn wrong I tell you haha. The name of the orchestra was also not catchy as it was named SGGS and NAKAMURA wind orchestra. I didn’t know the term wind orchestra is that time. I really thought it was some fancy name that’s all.

Moving on I heard the SGGS girl performing and I said to myself not bad not bad. But once the Jap’s ( Nakumura Girls School ) took over the stage it was like a rock show. Everyone including me was wowed by their performance. They were so darn good and at that time we didn’t even know the history of them yet on till the 3rd song the host mentioned that they were 22 times Japanese champs, the even went to Vienna to perform ( they have the best is quires and orchestral people in the world) and not to mention they have won loads of championship and I cant even remember cause they were to many. Furthermore they were just aged 15-16!! Imagine that! Seriously guys u need to hear to believe it that they so darn good. The best part is not only they can play musical instruments they can even sing every well.

I was really intrigued today for a bad thing of my perception can turn out to be something so good. I shall now have a more open mind and positive thinking. What a great ending to the day…

Campro turbo? wtf!!! December 13, 2008

Proton has suddenly felt the peer pressure from all the leading car makers in the world like VW and Fiat to develop a small CC turbo charged engine. The advantage of such engine is that it would produce relatively big power from a small capacity engine like VW has done with their T-fsi engine’s and fiats turbo jets. Most probably this would be using the already existing 1.6 campro CPS engine and proton said it would be introduce about 2010-2011. This all good in words but i rather doubt proton. No offense but i kind of like proton because I’m Malaysian and i have a soft spot for protons but proton hasn’t got the reputation to develop precision products. Look at their build quality over the pass years my friends. I know it has been slowly improving but for the art of turbo charging, improvements its just not enough as precision is really needed or we will be having a campro exploding galore by then hahaha. Anyway if they pull it off well, I solute them but as for now? God bless proton… LOL

     UPDATES:    It seems like proton also wants to add a turbo diesel engine during that time period …. this is more WTF… should’nt they invest in a energy source such as fuel cells or hybrids? haiz….
