The weekend so far...
Needed some light-hearted moments really badly. Caught the sneaks for Disney's "Meet The Robinsons". Pretty good animation flick (if that's your thing), with a very positive moral based around the intriging storyline.
Then the weekend officially begun... with a very sloshed-by-end-of-night P@t at eM Studio. Cosy little affair with close friends, drinks, Carbonara (insider joke), some nice sexy House, filthy electro and a lot of laughs. I'm sure some incriminating photos will appear sooner than I can say, "don't take off your top!"
Somehow, ended up to go visit the grand-daddy where Gareth Emery was playing. Gaz, what the? Lethal Industry? Nice insider joke on that one, mate. :p
Woke up with headache. Not a hangover. A headache from the fucking bastard school that was conducting their Sports Day at the nearby stadium. Why the fuck must they crank up the speakers and play really shitty music, at 8.30am in the fucking morning? Anyone got a sniper rifle to sell? This is not a good start for a Saturday. I better go get some nap time later.
Stay tune for INCRIMINATING photos... Round 2 tonight at eM!
p/s P@t, congrats on the new family addition!
JOKE OF THE YEAR... and possibly the decade!
You mean he actually managed to get his dog to lick his anus AGAIN and found yet another bunch of anonymous producers to pay off their works as his? Anyway, considering how the mass consumers are easily swayed, this unfortunately will be touted as THE BEST ELECTRONIC ALBUM EVER. How sad! Hurray for more tragedy in music!
The weekend starts here!
Are you ready for this weekend's brew of *hics* and *burps*?
See you at the club... new and old friends :)
(scroll to below postings if you're out of touch)On Friday at eM Studio...
He said it himself... see HERE. :p
Guys, PLEASE keep your top (and bottom) on.
Thanks!
Butterfly Sign
Jam & Spoon lives on... with even more grammatically bad lyrics. Poppy little song that some how manages to stick to my head after like TWO listens. I'm going spread this bad infection in one of my upcoming radio shows next. Hopefully then, I'm not the only one walking around with the tune stuck in a loop. After all, there's no crime in spreading bad music to the masses, is there? Especially when it's for a good laugh. Thus the occassional Tiesto crap in my sets.
I know Plavka is the vocalist but could they at least find a decent looking model to mime over the cheesy video instead of plastering the auntie all over it? Part of the lyrics, she sings "I've been living in a coccoon". She certainly looks like it! And the low-cut front doesn't really help either.
And at 1.18 minute of the clip? What the fuck? Two RED rabbits going at it? That's romantic? Oh look... 1.48 minutes... deer faeces with a love heart floating out of the poo? Who the fuck is the director? Hope Plavka steps into it eventually. 2.07 minutes... wedding chapels in Las Vegas... so that's TRUE LOVE? Haha!
Okay, someone quick explain the lyrics...
"My butterfly heart will tell me,
When it's my time, butterfly time."
And just when I thought Above & Beyond wrote shitty nonsensical lyrics (i.e. "Satellite"). Guys, come on now! All respect I had for the duo just went down the rubbish chute!
Thought of the month
Dear menfolk,
Admit it, we're all freaks of nature. Afterall, God created woman (Eve) first with all the best ingredients He had and then with whatever leftovers, He decided to have a laugh and made man (Adam) with dodgy daggling bits and spare parts. Thus, think about it, depending on your religious beliefs, are MEN really more superior? We think we know. We actually don't. Do we? Fact remains though, men are damn good at suppression. And that by the way, is not really a virtue either.
Ponder on it and dwell on the following quote too. Are we profound yet or what?
"To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature."
Today...
... a little butterfly flew my way and made me smile!
"Everything will turn out right!"

9 EXPRESSIONS WOMEN USE
1. Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they're "right" and you need to shut up.
2. Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. If you're given five more minutes to do whatever shit it is you're doing before helping out with the chores or attending to her, then it's FIVE minutes.
3. Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means SOMETHING, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with NOTHING usually end in FINE (Refer to #1).
4. Go Ahead
This is a dare, not permission. For the love of God, don't do it!
5. Loud Sigh
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men.
A loud sigh means she thinks you're an idiot and wonders why she's wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about NOTHING. (Refer to #3).
6. That's Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. It actually means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you'll pay for your mistake.
7. Thanks
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say "you're welcome".
8. Whatever
This is a woman's way of saying "FUCK YOU!"
9. Don't worry about it, I got it
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?". For the woman's answer to this question, refer to #3.
Well, we won't be dummies if women actually meant what they say instead of giving us a headspin. :p ********************Personal rant. Many now know that I'm embarking on a new job. It's been a long while since I did something stable and concrete. Some true friends have been really encouraging... wishing me well and such. Then there are some that because of whatever reasons, are bitching to me about the company that I'm going to join. For the record, I'm least interested in politics so spare me your "hearsays". I've given it a lot of thought and I think it's a good company with a pretty good synergy going. Yes, hours will be long, work will be hard. Money don't grow on trees. You reap what you sow. No working environment is perfect. But we learn to deal with it. So for f**k sake, spare me all the "industry rumours" and personal-points-of-views. Real friends will urge me on and not tell me things like "you won't be happy" and "you can't really play what you're known for" and "big company, hard to work". Do you really know me and what makes me happy? No, right? So do everyone a huge favour and stop assuming and presuming. I choose my own destiny. And I choose to walk this new path. So there! I wish everyone well too... have a great weekend!
Where's the Sandman?
3.05 a.m.
And we welcome back an old fiend called Insomnia...
... I can't get no sleep!
And I'm so going to have a f**king
full-fledged migraine on Tuesday.
So I ended up surfing the net in hope that the sleep fairy will come and sprinkle some drowsy magic dust. While "googling" for some wise quotes, I came across this which somewhat reinforces the fact that Mahatma Ghandi was indeed profoundly wise. Don't really know in what context it's referring to, but thanks for the reality check, dude!
3.33 a.m. and it's all so quiet.
Gloom Doom
Gloomy IDM never sounded so appropriate...
... till now.
Think I'll go take a bus to Desaru tomorrow or something.
Today is a very lousy day...
I'm going to have an early day and sleep the LOUSY FEELING away... not that it's ever going to go away. But better than staying awake and feeling like shit the rest of the day. It's amazing how one fine day can turn the complete opposite sometimes. That's life... full of pitfalls every other corner you turn. Not everything will go the way everyone hopes for it to be. Sadly but c'est la vie. Something I've got to learn to deal with... till then... I hope it rains tonight!
Wish all weekends where like this...
No getaway is complete without it...
... but too much of bubblies = man with rabies!
We put way too much bubble bath lotion...
... and we ordered way too much food too!
I hate toilet queues!
Room Garden Suite, roof-top Jacuzzi, wine + champagne... it was rejuvenating but I wish the weekend didn't have to end THAT fast :(
Taking a break...
And so the week ends... :)
This has been a positive week thus far.
Come 1 April, I'll be joining Emerald Hill Group and will be helping out with stuff at eM Studio. We'll be looking into getting the DJ school up and running as soon as possible so for those that have been asking me since god-knows-when, stay tuned for details. Audio production courses at a much later time when we further iron out the necessary nitty-gritty.
For those not still not familiar with eM Studio, which is at the old Liquid Room (Gallery Hotel). Fridays, expect music that's Housey, Funky, Electro-ish and Soulful. Saturdays, a slightly more tougher sound. Oh, and next Friday, P@t will showcase the other side of his music stylings...

Dear SAF and the officers of my reserve unit,
Don't you high-ranking pencil-pushers ever tell me that I'm not fit (for my age). You can take my test results, add seasoning and eat it. Please don't bother for till next year! When can I have my money? Thank you!
Not gloating here. Just a personal battle WON against all the dumb-ass red-tape and insensitive position holders that I've dealt with with regards to this.
And now for my little weekend getaway to "celebrate" and pamper myself. Life is good, isn't it? Tra-la-la :p
Tomorrow, a possible life-altering "meeting". Yeaaahh! A good week so far :)
gurl died hving sex?
This day and age, there are still some people that are superstitious and are damn stupid to believe in urban legends. Seriously, chain letters... what the fuck? I got this from one of those people...
This morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Jackson was found dead. Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed into Myspace. She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repost a chain letter about a little girl that kills you in your sleep with no natural cause of death.
This is the bulletin he read:
My name is Jaime Hera's. I'm 14 years old. I'm a murderer. I have no face. When you look at me you'll die immediately. You have 900 seconds to repost this or I will visit you tonight.
Repost this "gurl died hving sex"
Well, since I'm neither an idiot or an overly superstitious person, I've blatantly broken the chain. The mail came in on Monday. It's Wednesday now and Jaime Hera must be too busy killing others to visit me or she's been eradicated. It's just so rude. She could at least reschedule or something. I was all prepared to greet her. I had Holy Water, a crucifix, a Communion chalice with some pure rock salt by my bedside. If the mail had said it was Freddy Kruger, then perhaps I might not "fuck around" with it. :p
Come on people, for the love of God, it's the fucking 21st century! You can't possibly still believe in such nonsensical crap? Stop spamming my mailbox with your superstitions.
35hz and Sesame Street
Bananashuffle
And here's the answer to the question that we all have been asking since kids about Bert and Ernie... the painful truth is before you :
The day has come...
Today, 6pm
Day Of Destiny
"nervous..."
I'll explain what it's all about pending solely on the outcome. Otherwise, treat this as one of those random thoughts of mine. I can't really say much because the issue is kind of HIGHLY "private and confidencial"... in a way ;p
Teleportation, anyone?
Just finished watching the 18th installment of Heroes and now I wish I can teleport like Hiro to April 23rd. We know that Sylar and Peter are going to face off... but waiting a whole month is just... arggggghh! 5 more episodes to go before the Season One ends 21st May. The time frame here that I'm referring to, is the US one. The local TV broadcast is like still in pre-historic slo-mo mode.
Updates For The Week
Lush 99.5 FM Private Reserve with Yukun, this Wednesday 21st March with show 48 @ 8.00pm (GMT +8). This week, a feature track from the new Boards Of Canada album, a rare remix of Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity", a new one from The Herbalizer as well as another selection from lounge specialist Club Des Belugas plus loads more... you know the score by now. If not... *tsk tsk*
Will be playing an early set from 11pm - 1am this Friday 23rd March for 35Hz @ Barbaablackchic. For guestlist, email your full name + your mates HERE.
On a personal note, Thursday's appointment could be another cross-road of my life. So here's hoping that everything goes smoothly and then I can finally begin on a new and challenging chapter of my life. *fingers & toes crossed*
A strange request was made at last Saturday's gig, asking if I could play my own tune called "Broken Angel". Am I missing something here? No offence but, what in blue hell? A full list of all finalized productions are listed on the right panel of this site under "Yukun Productions". Anyone see the said title there? Just checking to make double sure coz for a moment, I thought that either my memory's fucked or that I may need a pair of really thick spectacles. OK, I promise my next production, if I ever can be arsed to bother, will be entitled "Broken Hymen". How about that? No prizes for guessing what that tune would be about. Anyway, request(s) of whatever nature, even from friends, during gigs are super-uncool as far as clubbing etiquettes are concerned. Just to re-emphasize.
On a seperate note... I'm looking forward to 1 August 2007, when THE CURE finally makes their way here! Almost a decade too late but better late than never. I just hope for fuck's sake that they do not sing any of their current material from the past 3 years coz those really suck. Just do a greatest hits set and everyone will be more than overjoyed. Kai... do you read this?
Spiderman's having you for dinner tonight...
My lifelong dream...
... a simple quiet life
Sunday Funnies
If you don't get the joke, nevermind. :pToday's papers carried a feauture story on Chad Vader. Now how did I guess as much that the creators are onto something big? Off all the huge amount of crap on YouTube, they stood out despite their amateurish spoof. Having a idea is one thing, but having the creative talent to see things through is another whole new ballgame altogether. And creativity is not in everyone. Some have it, some think they have it. Anyway... here's episode 4!
Guess what?
For all the clubbing noobs... take heed!
Oh, and Mel Tektile... 
hee hee hee hee!!!!
Phunky Friday!
Note to self.
Never EVER, order the "meatball & spaghetti" at any Italian eatery, especially at Spaghetti's. I've been kindly reminded that they look like bull's testicles in Fear Factor. I don't know what those taste like, not that I ever want to find out, but last night's meatballs were "yucky" for sure. Why the hell did they have to make them so big? Anything for than a mouthful is excessively distasteful.
Wahoo... managed to borrow BEAT STREET, my all-time favourite classic flick from the Eighties. Cheers Razaq for the DVD! It's being "backed-up" as I type this. How old were you when this was released? I was like... erm... really young and impressionable then. This was when Hip Hop was real without all that bling-bling, pseudo-gangsterism and moronic hola-ing. It was an inspiring movie for the early 80s Hip Hop era. From breakers to graffiti artistes, from to DJs to music makers, from the street lingo to the illegal free parties. Well, it certainly did influenced me enough in all the above areas. Thus it lead to what I'm doing today, living a childhood dream... so to speak, although it's much different musically. It was one of the best movies to date that manages to capture and document a glimpse of the New York ghetto youth culture. Plus, it had the originators like Afrika Bambaataa, Melle Mel, Rock Steady Crew, New York City Breaks, Doug E. Fresh, Kool Mo Dee and Kool Merc. Talk about "keeping it real" or what? You ain't a B-Boy or a Fly-Girl if you ain't seen this. I'm so watching this... on Sunday. Don't worry, I won't be busting a move and breaking a bone in the process. Hahaha!
"If art is a crime, may God forgive me"
Was at the launch party of the Smirnoff Green Apple Twist at eM By The River. I just love launch parties. If you like Martini's, you'll probably like this. It's fruity and the scent is appetizingly fresh. It's lethal if you gulp thinking that it's sweet-tasting concoction. I can't remember how many I had but I woke up this morning feeling really dehydrated. I better like drink a ton of water now as I have Session #7 of physical training later at 4pm. Damn, I shouldn't have touched those ciggies last night. I feel so sinfully unhealthy now.
And I hate overly chatty cab-drivers. Just shut up already! Do your driving and let me get some shut-eye, pleeeasse! But anyway, upon reaching my doorsteps, I had this incurable urge to go do a remix of Zero 7's "Home". Not anytime soon though.
Tonight, P@t is playing Bossa & Funk at One Rochester from 10pm - 2am. I'll be doing a late 3-hour set at eM Studio from 1am - 3am, playing some tuff-tribal with a hint of dirty electro thrown-in and leading towards some trademark trance.
