Ghost of Days Gone By

Another day in the office. This week would be my last week in the office. Starting next week I'll be posted at KUKA Robot Automation, Puchong for training. Apparently my company wants me to be trained as the robotics specialist within the company. Well, I can't really complaint. At least I'm far from my dictator-like boss, which I loathe so so much.

People say good things come to those who wait. But, it's easier said than done. I just can't wait any longer for our EP to come out. For those not well versed in the music jargon, EP stands for Extended Play. In another words, it's like a mini album. Normally 4-6 songs in an EP. As of today, 4 of our planned 6 song EP has been mixed. Waiting for the other 2 to finish mixing, then those mixed 6 songs will be sent to renowned mastering engineer, Nick Lee for further enhancement. I really like how Keith mixed Run. He gave that retro kind of feel to the song which fits like a glove. Before this I always thought that Run would never be released as a single but after listening to the current version, I think it would do really well on the radio. It's very catchy and has that dance beat that will make anyone start to dance. I love it.

The year is almost reaching the end and I have to say, this is a good year. I haven't had a good year in awhile now. I feel blessed. Although, I have done some things I am not proud off but I will try my best to be a better person and a better Muslim. I thank Allah SWT for giving me all the good things that has happened this year. Insyaallah, next year will be even better.

Before I forget, I finally got my hands on Alter Bridge's 3rd album, ABIII which explains the title of this blog. To date, I strongly believe that this is their best album. The AB boys really pushed and experimented alot and I love every song in it. I just wished I can watch them perform live. Hopefully next year I'll be able to do that. I want to see Myles Kennedy sing again. He is such an awesome singer.

Adios!
