:+: Fine after rain :+:

Had a lot of fun eariler at MediaCorp more precisely at the 987FM studio where I got to witness 1st hand the recording of this Sat's 987 Home & this week it's SkiVe's turn to take the hot seat.

Ok so I reached the reception desk pretty early considering that I lived reasonably near Andrew Road where it's about a 20-25 mins bus ride that I took just now . I almost alighted at the wrong bus stop but luckily I asked the bus driver before doing anything else . Heng man & I actually pressed the button too early as by right I supposed to alight 3-4 bus stops later on :S

But aside from that boo boo , I soon made my way to MediaCorp . Waited a while before the guys came 1 by 1 .

Guitarist Brian & his girlfriend came together with Caleb 1stly . So nice to see Caleb once again & hmm.. if it's just me , I think his hair looks better than the last time I saw him haha

The rest of the guys namely bassist JC , the other guitarist Soon & lead singer Marcus came soon after & they were almost 25 mins late & I remembered Soon was telling everyone to meet at 1pm . Er... looks like he kinda overshot on time .

But yes it's about due time that I finally met Soon face to face cos I have been communicating with him a while already via MSN & Caleb was cool , he was the 1 who did all the intro cos aside from him , the rest have not met me before so yup .

Everyone brought their instruments cos for today's recording of 987 Home , it's an interview + acoustic performance that SkiVe will be doing & this time , I did bring my IC along !

The last time I went to MediaCorp where I did 987 Control , the receptionist was a bit bitchy . Even though my IC No. was on my Uni pass , they wouldn't let me exchange it for a visitor pass but this time I know better .

I didn't really talked to JC & Brian that much but Marcus was a nice person . While everyone was walking towards the Radio Building , he was asking me how I came to know about SkiVe & etc & for a brief moment , I suddenly became a navigator as the rest didn't really know how to go to the 987 Studio .

& in no time , we were inside the 987 Studio ! Had to walk past the studios of 938 Live & also Class95 too . Unlike last time when I did 987 Control where I have to go to another room to do the recording , this time the recording of 987 Home took place inside the studio itself & 987 Home host Soo Wei was inside to greet everyone.

If I know the studio was SO chilly , next time I would have brought along a sweater , a thick 1 nontheless -_- .

The guys set up their equipment 1st & did a bit of soundcheck & tuning as it seems that SkiVe will be performing 1st & then the interview with Soo Wei will take place & like I mentioned before , I haven't seen how a live radio performance nor interview's being done so it was a 1st for me !

Maybe next time if Lunarin/Electrico were to appear on 987 Home again , they should let me know . Wouldn't hurt to tag along haha

But anyway SkiVe performed a great acoustic live set 1st . They did The Same Old Sky , Lost Again & Standing In The Rain in which for Standing In The Rain , I never heard it before but it sounds really good & at this time , I realised that Marcus has a really nice voice & can sing !

It's like his singing voice sounds exactly the same on record & when he sang live eariler , I'm not kidding !

The live acoustic of Lost Again was fab man . The Same Old Sky's ain't bad too but to me , Lost Again takes the cake & I'm psyched that it's gonna be the next single after The Same Old Sky .

So after the performance was wrapped up , the next 1 - 1 hour 15 mins or so was spent doing the interview with Soo Wei . Oh my god , whether it's stuff that will/will not be broadcast this coming Sat night , it's equally hilarious & everyone really can joke !

Soon was pretty mean man . Keep on cracking jokes & also talked quite a lot of nonsense on practically almost anything under the sun & the rest of the guys like to pick on Caleb almost all the time -_- . Poor Caleb , I feel for you really haha

But aside from that , I can tell Soon was serious & real passionate when comes to talking about his band & other issues too . Aside from the numerous rude yet a bit sickening jokes that SkiVe cracked with Soo Wei on/off air which I don't think I can put it down here in print , at least I get a glimpse on the band & most importantly a better understanding/knowledge on SkiVe & the guys mentioned that a full length album's on the cards & it's scheduled to be released probably end of the year so woo hoo !

Have to tell Soon to put my name on the preorder list haha but yeah I had a lot of fun eariler , was awesome & Soo Wei's very warm & friendly too . She passed me her business card eariler & I actually did seen her in person before which was er last Sept during the Waterfest where Electrico was performing .

& Soon still owe me the EP ! At most he mail it to me & I wouldn't have to pay for it then haha
