st like an almost non moving traffic jam this year it was slow moving traffic now this meant that it was moving but you almost cannot stop because if you do you cause a human crawl behind you so what do you do you force yourself to climb and climb until you make it to the top in about 15 minutes i made it up and have lost every bit of stamina i have left in my body i was feeling like how an unfit person felt this to me was something to blog about because i take every experience i have as a lesson from the almighty this thaipusam i learnt that moving too fast might not be the best thing ever and i realise for the past 6 years my life is as such at work and even at home i ve been bulldozing forward hungry for success i now realise that because of this i sometimes forget to rest forget to eat and forget to love my friends family and that s not cool by me as much as i love my work my talents i also love my friends my family and so 2016 will be a year i manage my time a little better build my team a bit better delegate more work and trust my team yes this would mean i make less money but hey i ve been telling all my talents all this while that the work we do is not just for the money we do it because we love it and that is what matters thank you for reading and if your life is moving too fast take a breather and think back what are your priorities in life are you headed in the right direction are you happy i hope this post brings you peace do share it with your friends or family who have been working so hard to make ends meet let them know that you appreciate what they are doing but it s ok to just take a breather sometimes that helps make things clearer melakaboy jan 2016 rate this posted in life as mr p 2 comments how i got f ed by versace pavillion jan 17 posted by melakaboy sometime last month some of you may have seen me whining on facebook about an incident i had with versace a brand i hold most dear to my heart but i think it s only fair i return the favour in writing for the emotional turbulence they had put me through sometime early january 2016 i decided to go clutch shopping after much looking i finally found something i really fancy at versace pavillion now i was really excited because versace was a brand that i really fancied bough my first versace jacket for liyana jasmay s wedding some 3 years ago followed by an awesome document bag a pair of versace shoes last year so imagine how excited i was when i saw a clutch that i really liked in versace i was practically glowing price tag read rm 2 050 00 and it was the last piece did not have to think for long decided what the heck need to make myself happy once in a while so i decided to get the clutch bag when i got to the payment counter the nice gentleman was kind enough to say hey you look familiar you re a blogger right ermmmm ok though i ve not been blogging for some time i obliged and said yes he smiled and continued to scan the tag and shortly after that said rm 2 450 00 please sir i was stunned i said wasn t it rm 2 050 00 a little while ago he continued to check the price tag and made some phone calls to some people he later came back and said he wasnt able to sell that bag to me as it appears that the italians might have increased the price omfg i swore at that point i wanted to just take pictures of everything and bashed versace on twitter instagram instead i remained calm i always believe everything happens for a reason but still my heart broke my love for versace suddenly hurt my heart so bad i walked away whined on facebook a little and decided now that i should return the heartbreak that versace caused me with a blogpost by law i believe that the outlet has to honor the price shown on the tag i could be wrong but hey sh happens moved on to make a trip down to jpo a week after while holidaying with my wife and daughter finally caught eyes on a beautiful toscani clutch if you re a fan of toscani their defect items go to jpo and you pay 70 less there for everything and so yes i ended up paying rm 400 00 for a clutch i saved rm 1 500 00 which i later on bought a new gucci wallet for rm 1 490 00 and that my friends is how versace pavillion f ed me for the good sake of their clients i think they should come up with a policy to honor the price on the tags should something like this happen again in the future rate this posted in life as mr p 6 comments what the f is wrong with the malaysian english music industry jan 17 posted by melakaboy so i d start by saying that this post is due 10 years about time someone wrote something about this openly without having to worry about who we are screwing while writing this you see i grew up with malaysian english music idolising people like old automatic garbage juliet the orange nice stupid playground butterfingers etc i never understood why oag went on to doing malay music or why the other english bands or groups fell out of the scene what happened today i m actually working in this industry and i started off the past 3 years telling people that the malay music industry is far more monetisable than that of the english music it is true there is no doubt about that it s not that the malay music is better it is just that native language tens to have better opportunities it s simply because when you are doing english music you are competing with the rest of the world and it s a big cruel world where advertising dollars makes the difference now is there hope for english music to live on in malaysia personally i believe there is and this is what i feel needs to be done radio stations to me the most important factor of re growing the local english scene radio stations like hitz fly mix lite needs to all start playing 30 40 local content you see recording proper songs are not cheap producers charge something between myr 6 000 00 myr 15 000 00 for songs in malaysia if there is basically 0 chance to get airplay to get the song in the market that is wasted now how much can a singer commit to before they starve to death fans the worst are the fans in malaysia recording artiste always complains about people not buying their music fact check your phones computers how many songs were bought probably 3 your own again i believe that if we can make the song the singers popular enough we will be able to sell original music government laws towards support towards local content in malaysia magazines tv radio newspaper should all have at least 30 40 local content singers artiste stop being a dick we all need each other to survive stop hating each other stop condemning the media for not supporting you if you love your music enough be prepared to suffer for your art producers disregard charging high prices if you see value in talent in the long run if they make it big with your music they will return for more i m really hoping english music makes a comeback in malaysia i personally aspire to do something about it when the time is right within my means could it be sooner who knows maybe the industry will start listening to a young entrepreneur like me maybe we could really work together to make a difference who knows as i stood at e curve one night watching a group of rock roll band busking outside i saw at least 3 parents encouraging their kids to give money to the street musicians took a picture of this deed as for me this is proof that people will still buy content they appreciate later i had my daughter do the same when i stumbled upon some young buskers in senai airport so i m ending this post with these 2 pictures don t stop supporting local arts rate this posted in life as mr p 9 comments motivations in life oct 21 posted by melakaboy been wanting to pen this down for the past few weeks but my work trips have basically left me with little sleep rest for the past 3 weeks yes i admit it i m getting old very recently a talent that i groomed and nurtured at least i think i did won an award as a best new artiste on a regional level beating candidates from singapore and indonesia i cried at the award show when she went on stage just a week before i asked her have you prepared what you want to say if you win and her reply was actually it did not cross my mind that i was going to win anyway with such an achievement i started asking myself a few questions which also questioned some of the poor business decisions i ve done in 2015 what motivates me in life why am i doing what i m doing you see i come to realise that the majority population in malaysia is motivated by monetary gains more money means a better life means a better future means you can buy more things you like do you think that this is similar throughout the world i m not sure if many of you noticed but in the western countries people are not really motivated by money really yes money is important but they tend to make decisions in life which reflects that money is not everything for example a person can save up to usd50 000 and spend it all in a trip travelling to see new things and experiencing new stuff when the money depletes then its back home and work as usual in malaysia if you did that your parents would probably ask you in despair son what has happened to you are you not thinking about your loved ones why are you not saving up for a better future and this got me thinking asians are more prone to consider the feelings of other people they care about the welfare of others that they love and that was the thought in my mind over the past week i somehow believe that my motivation in life is to see the people i love the people i represent and the people that rely on me be successful and happy and that is what matters to me if i did not make it this far in business i m ok if tomorrow i fall into bankruptcy i m ok if tomorrow i fail in life i m ok but what i m not ok is working hard and making sure i do my best for the people around me i believe that this is the key to my success thus far that i always tell myself i m not the boss i m working for the people i care about i m working for my talents i may not be perfect all the time but i try my level best to be and if my talents need money to have a better life then i sure as hell am gonna work hard to make sure they make money different people have different motivations in life most are motivated by money a lot by family and some life me work to see people happy what is your motivation justanotherrandomrantonmyblog rate this posted in life as mr p leave a comment reality of music making in malaysia jul 31 posted by melakaboy the fact that you have clicked on this post to read this proves that you are either someone really passionate about music or you are someone who is still trying to find a grip on making money from music in malaysia today i write this post as a label owner though only 2 months old and only have 2 songs on my catalogue both songs are on radio charts now this is besides the fact that the other 2 songs that i am working with a label partner for is also on the radio charts so i must have gotten something right right anyway i experienced many faces of the music industry in malaysia during my schooling years primary school i was exposed to a lot of zainal abidin nora and of course amy mastura i still remember i will dance and mime to her song everytime they show it on tv when i went on to secondary school i then grew up with oag butterfingers juliet the orange nice stupid playground it was great when i was in college i started having love for country folk bluegrass music and that made me making friends with local pub musicians it was a great time of my life today i m involved with mainstream malay english music making so i ve literally been through it all so let me tell you why we are short of local english music in malaysia firstly it s because 90 of the people who listen to english music are pirates none of them buys the english music and when you produce english music you are competing with the americans brits australians etc not saying that we are no better than them but really what are the odds a good composer friend recently told me do you notice the countries where their music goes international is actually music of their native language i ve never looked at it that way but we listen to english korean japanese indonesian french etc this shows that local support for native language content is still the strongest and this situation is similar in malaysia bands that have lived the english glory music days would tell you the same thing in malaysia the music market is in the malay market it s not a matter of population or racism but the fact is the local malays are those who appreciate their industry their roots and therefore they pay and buy music and the fact of the matter is a good english song can probably make rm 50 000 00 but a good malay song can make a million ringgit foodforthought very recent i met a few young musicians who play write english music damn they are talented but my exact words to them if you dont want to diversify your music you re looking at a very thin success rate not everybody can be pete teoh duhhhh so looking back in history pub scenes who are the bands that you actually play their music today carefree kenny remy martin freedom blues gang alleycats what do they all have in common they all have malay songs now the question is how do we improve this situation and make local content relevant again these are my personal opinion and goals you can disagree just dont make it an issue i d like to see the government setting rules for content on radio at least 60 of songs played on any radio station english malay or chinese should be local the chinese community in malaysia suffers the same fate local chinese listen to hongkies taiwanese singers not locals sadbuttrue after all is said it also boils down to the listeners stop pirating music start paying for concerts if you want to see quality shows yes you complain that local concerts sucks as the show is so bare well the fact is without proper funding nobody can put on a good show for you there should be more incentive for international collaborations to happen not necessary big collaborations but collaborations that makes mutual sense to do anyway i d like to take this opportunity to thank my music partners faithful music fuse asia tune studios warner music malaysia universal music malaysia for believing in my product and dreams and helping me make these dreams a reality now hopefully i ll make some money so i can continue to make music oh and here are some of the stuff we ve done lately so just in case u wanted to listen or buy some local music thats on the hitz era charts now here would be good choices click to watch
