Free at last !
My finals, recording, shooting, bla bla bla...
Finally, everything is over and now i have a picnic, vacation and some quality time to spend. :-)
Ok just to catch up, my finals sucked. Especially financial reporting and accounting, 1st question already didn't know how she wanted us to answer. (T.T)
Anyhow, to more cheerful matters, the band finally finished recording new us.
It was so much fun, Alex has so much input and ideas.
Then the shooting was also fun i had to act as a girl trying to be accepted by her family and friends. haha...
Ernest's course mates had to come down to malacca on Saturday afternoon and started shooting till 4 am and had to wake up at 7 am the next day then continue the shooting and finally wrapped things up around 2am and rushed back to kl.
Thank you for all your help and hopefully you're fully rested by now. :-)
That should be about it and i'll try to update this blog more often...
Now, i'm going to concentrate on making my own melody for my own songs so wish me luck k...

The Banana Boat Song (Day - O)
The banana boat song is a Jamaican folk song that was sung by men who would work on loading bananas on ships.
Their shift ended at daylight and they wanted a Tally Man to come and count their bananas so they could go home.
The song was sung by slaves in banana fields in Central and South America.
It is a Jamaican Folk Song
Day-o, Day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o
