May You R.I.P Michael Jackson….. sincerely… (really)
Posted on June 30, 2009 by Jay
I’ve really been cracking my head for the past few days thinking of what words best describe what happened last Thursday.
For somewhere between insensitive and plain idotic, I find it rather impolite to mock the dead.
Especially if the dead looked like this before he was even dead …
See? There I go again. I really need to stop being so kanasai.
The thing is, iconic as Michael Jackson was, he was still at best a troubled and weird man.
I mean come on now … he was a black dude who made himself white. I’ve seen Chinese opera singers, you know … the ones who put an inch thick of make up on their faces for each show …. look healthier and more natural than him.
And most men sleep with women. He sleeps with children. Need I say more?
Of course, if you put aside all the essentricities, his musical achievements speaks wonders of what a genius he really was.
It’s just sad that he had to die for people to actually realize that.
I mean, even as a dead man his record sales reached phenomenal numbers in only a few days. That’s gotta account for something right?
Perhaps if people had given him the recognition he deserved while he was still alive, things would not have turned out this way.
So with this post on jaythean.com, I pay tribute to Michael Jackson.
As much as I would like to deny it, I’ll have to admit that his music had a profound impact on me during my primary school years.
Listening to ‘Heal The World’ for the 345th time, it was actually that song that got me so sick of pop that I started listening to rock music.
Hmm …. wait. This is supposed to be a tribute right?
Seriously now, I do believe that in many many years to come, people will speak of Michael Jackson in the same breath as true legends as The Beatles and Elvis Presley. And deservingly so.
Here’s to you MJ. May you R.I.P.
You’ll always be have a place in my heart …… the place in my heart where rock music now is.

Nudist Recording ….
Posted on June 18, 2009 by Jay
What comes into mind when you see a CD with this scrawled on it ?
Why NAKED people of course. A porn video being filmed. Right?
But if you were to take a look at the whole CD and saw this ….
You’d probably be thinking something else no?
Hey I hear people puking.
…… please tell me you didn’t just picture members of Inverted Coma naked.
There’re lots of people you probably want to see naked ….
These 4 ugly people are definitely not any of them ….
No no …… the Nudist is the second single that Inverted Coma is recording at the moment…..
…..The follow up to the highly successful first single called Miracles, the song that has until now not received any airplay on the radio nor has anyone heard of …..
Sigh ….. this rock star dream’s going to need more work than I thought.
On a more serious note now ……
Been busy for the past few weeks doing 3 things.
1. Passing the first single, Miracles to just about every radio station in town
2. Heading into the studio for the recording of the second single, the Nudist song.
3. Fantasizing that I’m a big rock star touring India, Thailand and Cambodia.
Well, I’ve been busy with no 3 ever since I’ve been a teenager. So much so that seriously, doing shows in those 3 countries would seem more of a dream than a joke.
Where no 1 is concerned, the good ol people at the radio station have all been relatively nice and kind to us. When I say kind I mean they didn’t take one look at our CD and throw it into the trash.
So in a bid to get support from all loyal jaythean.com readers, do listen out for Miracles on radio stations such as Flyfm, Mix, Hitz, HotFm, TraxxFM and the like. The song is available for download right here …..
I know why you guys are looking at me funny. You’re probably thinking ….
“This guy’s a dumbass. If I’ve already downloaded the song, why bother listening out for it on the radio right?”
Well, you’re both right and wrong …
For one, you’re right. I’m a dumbass.
But here’s where you’re wrong, the song might appear on radio charts which might require voting. If that’s the case, I suggest you do what’s right …
Put off your plans of donating to charity … and vote for good ol Kanasai Jay’s band here.
I know I know …. I’m shameless.
Anyway, there’re a few pictures of our recording session in JD’s studio that I want to share with you here, in the hope that you’ll be convinced how good Inverted Coma really is ….
A picture of me and Julie cringing at the horrible music being recorded ….
A picture of Raymond playing with his iPhone when the music started getting boring …..
Raymond was playing with his iPhone from the start ….I guess the music was really boring ….
A picture of what we started doing when all of us started getting bored of our own song ….
A picture of David sighing and wondering why he actually joined the band ….
I’m glad I didn’t take up marketing or advertising.
But seriously now …. on to the actual photos and shameless self promo for Inverted Coma ….. (pictures courtesy of Joe)
Do check out www.myspace.com/invertedcoma for more info on the band. Will create a link for you guys to download Miracles soon … once I figure out how to create that link.
I’ll be heading into the studio next week to lay my guitar parts down ….
Will have loads of other pictures to bore you with then ….
Kanasai~!

Posted on June 4, 2009 by Jay
You know what’s worse than an obscenely expensively built stadium that’s now a white elephant?
….an obscenely expensively built stadium that’s now a white elephant and that’s now destroyed.
I’m speechless.
Malaysia Boleh weiiii …..~!!
Malaysia boleh membina stadium yang runtuh selepas satu tahun. Let’s see any other country top that.
Kanasai~!

That Doesn’t Really Work
Posted on May 25, 2009 by Jay
If you’ve ever been to Mid Valley, you’ve definitely walked past the G2000 boutique at the Centre Court ….
I confess myself a G2000 person. Half my wardrobe is filled with G2000 shirts.
When I was walking past the place after a midnight movie the other day, this caught my attention …..
“For Those Who Work”
I suppose it was a new tagline of some sort they were plugging …..
The thing is …..
That dude down there doesn’t really look like he wants to work does he?
Kanasai~!!

What Are The Chances?
Posted on May 20, 2009 by Jay
Anyone of you ever had one of those times where things were so uncanny, it creeped you out?
Actually been meaning to blog about this for a long time now. Never really thought much of it until it hit me in full force for the whole of last week.
And because it’s been happening really often, I’ve taken pictures of this every time I had the chance …
For days I started seeing the figure 1111 in my everyday life ….
The other day I was looking at my Astro decoder and I saw this….
Then later in the afternoon I took a look at my table clock and saw this …..
Here’s the thing ….. and I kid you not. I was driving home and came to a halt at a traffic light. And it was at that exact moment that I decided to take a look at my trip meter .. and I saw this …
And really now … later that night when I was driving down town I took a look at my dashboard and immediately pulled over to snap this picture ….
I don’t know about you but even as I write this I can feel a chill running down my spine.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Countless times I’ve encountered this 1111 in other scenarios …. it’s just that I wasn’t quick enough with my HTC ….
Like the other day where I saw a car with the number plate 1111 …… and later that day I had a meal over at some restaurant and when the bill came …. yup … you guessed it … RM11.11.
Today I got an an invoice for some medications and when I took a look at the price that my hospital owed the company ….. I saw RM111.1. I really should’ve taken a picture of that. But I couldn’t for fear that the sales rep might think I was forging his invoice or something ….
I mean … what are the chances man?
And maybe you can call me neurotic …. but earlier tonight I was out with my buddy in his car.
I took a look at the time …..
Okie …. so it was 9.45pm ……
But then ……. for some reason or other my eyes swept over to the radio ….
…….. It could’ve been any radio station playing at any time at all ….
But why did I decide to look at both at the same time?
Was somebody telling me something?
Any of you ever had chilling experiences like these ?
…. Think I’d better stop now or I won’t be able to sleep tonight …..
Kanasai~!
