Hey good people! I know it's been a minute since I've updated my personal blog. It's been due to my involvement in The MoveMint and our New Blog. If you are free, click the link and head on over to check it out!

Aside from that.. Just doing the usual, MCing @ Maison here in KL every Thursday night for Vibration.

TYGS #15 - The Qualifier is arriving very soon as we take the whole concept to the next level with an International Battle planned for Feb/March 2010.

Also, not forgetting the upcoming projects.. Silk Road with Illsteez plus a couple of others along with the next album (long overdue).

Here's a new track for you (not that new but just liberated)

Thanks for your continuous support!

The Roots in JKT

noreply@blogger.com (Jai Son) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 08:06:00 +0000

I know this was a while back but just wanted to post it now...

Yes yes, always great to report on events going down around the region, especially when you're opening for an act like The Legendary Roots Crew! So, when the word came through that myself, Masia One and Mistah would be doing the opening set with the Soul Menace cats DJ Cream and pDouble I was like "Hell Yeah!" So we got in the lab and came up with our set...

Anything is Possible

noreply@blogger.com (Jai Son) — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 08:17:00 +0000

After initially missing my first flight outta Jakarta on March 3rd by 5 minutes! (sorry Frieda!) I figured I would bite the bullet, overstay my visa and have more time to get things ready for the Roots show... So I booked my next flight without really thinking and wondered how I would sort out the visa situation... Now, I dont know how much trouble I can get in to for writing about this but to all travellers out there this one's for you! Indonesia has always been known as a lnad of opportunity where anything is possible... This just goes to prove that a little suggestion can go a long way... So, I get off the plane and and am headed over to the visa on arrival desk to get my 7 day visa. I realize that I forgot to print my ticket out so when they asked me for proof of leaving the country I was like... Uhhhh... I forgot... So to get to the point, they were like, so how can you help us out? My Indonesian is pretty good I must confess and the fact that there was another "bule" or tourist there didnt stop them from being pretty forward about asking me for money to sort it all out. All I actually had was RM30, so I forked it over... Got to the immigration counter and buddy asks me the same questions... I'm like... Hmmmm... I forgot to print my ticket, sorry I cant help you out, I sorted it all with the guys back there so you prolly wanna go there and get your cut! He giggled and told me that he didnt have to let me in the country but this time he'd let me through. Oh the relief!

*Masia One with one of Jakarta's security forces finest! Gotta love the hat...

So, the story continues... It turned out that the total for overstaying my visa for 8 days would work out to 1.6 million (rupiah hehehe...) which is still a good 200 bucks. With the mentality that anything is possible I set out to prove myself right. Unfortunately in the process I missed yet another flight, for reasons I am embarrassed to say, and now realizing all the money I had made is going into new flights I had to do something about my overstay... i walk straight into the immigration office, tell the guy I have overstayed by 8 days and straight up asked him if I could help him out... He was like... How much. I told him and he pushed my price up a bit but in the end I saved money and was promptly moved through the immigration que and happily onto the plane! I wouldnt advise just anyone to do what I did because I dont condone corruption. But as a reality in this world it just goes to prove that anything is possible!

KL to Vientiane

noreply@blogger.com (Jai Son) — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 05:04:00 +0000

Sometimes things that happen at the last minute can turn out to be the most amazing of experiences and a pleasant surprise indeed! After running around trying to lock down a DJ for a few days, I managed to confirm my man RQ to bounce out and over to Vientiane Laos for a special event put on by my friends at Mekong Deck and AirAsia.

It was inaugural and official direct flight from KL to Vientiane by AirAsia and we were graced by the presence of AirAsia's CEO Dato' Tony Fernandes.

Back to Mekong Deck for a second time we celebrated in fine style and enjoyed a whole lotta Beer Lao before the weekend was done... and all in the company of good friends and AirAsia's finest and our gracious host Boon Chin (cant forget Eddie, Chong and the whole staff!)

After we rocked the show, which ended early (11pm) we made our way to the local watering hole of Marina to pary more before ending the night at the club in our 5 star hotel - Don Chan Palace... Hmmm... who was it who gave me that rose??? Hehehe... Yes, it was all good times indeed and gotta give a special shout out to everyone from AirAsia for making the trip a whole lotta fun!

And like all good things it had to come to an end...
