She Doesn’t Love You Anymore-(Short Acoustic Version)
Here’s a song I’ve written about love. More like love that does not exist anymore caused by reality of life. It was written about a month back. Never really had a chance to do a demo with all the elements: drums, electric guitar etc.
I did this one today around two hours before going off for work. I used my new (cheap) Vietnamese handmade guitar. I just had the feeling that I had to do it at that point of time. I was having a terrible flu too. Somehow I felt more energized singing while having flu for some strange reason?? I also recorded this in my apartment living room. It was raining and there was a fan blowing at me. My Pekingese dog was also making some noise at the end if you are sharp enough!
Here it is, ‘She Doesn’t Love You Anymore’, the short version in acoustic guitar.

Another Old Demo-’Rokok’
This one is entitled ‘rokok’ meaning cigarette in the national language here in Malaysia. This was just a one take recording using my Sony ‘mini compo’ again where I played the bass part and the rhythm part on the Casio kiddie keyboard. Not sure what model it was.
The language is in Bahasa Malaysia too. It talks about how we liked cigarettes and at the same time mentioning it’s price. Back then, ciggies are really cheaper!
Expect to hear some major off-keys and terrible music and vocals!

Just you and I, demo done with a friend
Here’s a demo (long and unedited) that me and a good friend of mine did when we were still in secondary school. His name is Ivan Roger Ongkili and this song was written and music is also by him. I just helped him with the harmony as well as the one-take recording from my trusted Sony mini compo. Since it’s only one take, that’s why the quality sounded a little bit better and clear. This was done in my parents home back in a place called ‘Kunak’ in Sabah.
After converting it to mp3 from the tape, I actually tweaked some equalizer and added some reverb effect. I regretted it now since I really think I should have kept it as normal as possible. There were some pitch problems here and there too. I think we recorded this ‘early’ morning.
There were other sounds too like dog bark, (our dog which I forgot the name) and some lighter sounds from our buddy Jai. He also sang some at the back ground. Oh, also expect some snorting sounds. I think we were having flu or something..
The guitar used was my trusted Fender Strat-Mexican made.
