Ohh Tokyo Tokyo Tokyo... Why are you so awesome... You took my money and all of your food prevents me from eating Japanese food in HK!!!! Make sure to bring wads of cash when you go to Tokyo... Or you'll end up like me... Broke ass!!! I spent it all there and I dont regret it.. every penny spent was worth it!!!! I went to Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, Ochanomizu, Odaiba and Akihabara!!! I saw and tasted the best of the best!!!! And I walked on a road of heaven and ate a meal that could have been my last!!! OK Big thanks to Ryan for introducing me to guitar road "heaven" in Ochanomizu... I spent the whole day there!!! I could have come home with 10 guitars... I only got one!!! A nice 1984 vintage Yamaha acoustic... its a beauty and sounds terrific!
Ok best meal was at 'Jojoen'!!! Kinda like BBQ but my God!!! I had a beefgasam!!!
ok enough talk.. here's some pictures from the 500+ i took!!!
Now I'm not normally a Kleptomaniac in real life but I was close when I saw this R2D2 Projector/Ipod Dock/DVD player/ USB/ etcetcetc... check out the ad...

My Girl recommended me a great book if you ever go to tokyo... sorry but its in Chinese but it has maps and a lot of great, tempting pictures... so its still pretty useful!!! All copies were sold at the book fair recently!!!! This girl really knows Tokyo well!!! Here's the cover..

I've only been in Tokyo for 3 days so far and I'm livin' & lovin' it to the MAXimum!!!
Here's the first thing I did!....
Haahahahaha!!! I was told to go drink an ice cold Kirin draft beer... It was magic.. So much better than the bottled stuff we get back home.
3 days and I've almost emptied my bank account!!! 4 days to go wooohooo!
Here's what I've bought so far!!! Most of the above are necessities!! (seriously... I swear)
Ok... maybe 25% necessary...
So we have... Black T's, boxers, 2 guitar effect pedals, a smaller effects hardcase for Josie shows, 2 pairs of trainers and yes that big thing is a guitar... I couldn't stop playing it and its vintage.. 1984 yamaha made in Japan... Very nice to play and sounds very very sweeeeeet!!!
If i had serious amounts of cash... I could easily come home with 10 guitars!!!
OK I gotta chill from my shopping high....
I will blog loads more when I'm back about my WHOLE trip... which includes trouble at the airport!!!
Peace out!!!
THANKS to Mr Ryan Hui for giving me the address of the Guitar shops.. It's Heaven and Hell!!!

19th Birthday
Friday, May 30, 2008 1:37PM / Standard Entry / Members only
Well another year has gone by so quickly it's shocking! On Wednesday night I had a little gathering with some close friends and we went for dinner and drinks. The year before was just nuts... so this year I decided to calm it down and prepare for the big 30 next year.... Oh no, I mean my 10th Anniversary of my 20th Bday (As Glenn would say!) We went for hotpot (sorry Dax and Jto) and this time we set a new record! 8 large plates of beef!!!! Sorry... no pictures were taken of food as we were all just too involved with the eating ceremony.
After that... My lovely woman brought a yummy Birthday Mango cheese cake... Mmmmm I love the mango!!! Love it! Thx Baby!!!... to top that off the restaurant gave free desserts (coconut-sago and some big freakin buns!) I manage to eat cake and coco-sago but I had no more room for buns!!!
Yes, that's right... I was wearing an Audiotraffic T shirt on my bday!
Yes... It says... HAPPY BDAY MK GUITAR HERO
Ok so you can imagine how stuffed we were. I think Adrian started to get the 'meat sweats'... We all rolled out of the restaurant and some people had to go as they had work the next morning... We decided to go to a nice quite bar on Minden St. TST. for a nice comfortable drink. Straight after that drink it was torture time!!! Off we went to our old skool bar 'Bahama Mammas'.... We saw our old friend who manages the bar and he handed us rounds of shooters and a lovely 151 shot for me!!! Wooohoooo.... I was dreading it the whole night!!! Well... You just gotta on your bday!.... Bastards!!! And so we carried on chatting and drinking more shooters (Horray!! *starts crying*) And so... you can imagine the rest of the night! Birthdays,,, you just cant escape your good friends wanting to see you having a good time!
Thx guys and gals!
Esp Kev who managed to drag his jet lagged ass out for a bit!
Even though he doesn't look that jet lagged here... The poor bastard was extremely
knackered!
Peace,
If you're wondering what to get me for my Birthday... you could donate money to help the disasters in Sichuan and Maynmar.... Thx!

My super cool parents!
Tuesday, Mar 11, 2008 2:37PM / Standard Entry / Members only
Here is a pic of my mum and dad straight after the performance at the CD launch! Everyone says my parents look so young!!! Hahahaa! But you'll never guess their REAL age! I am very fortunate to have such awesome parents who have supported me with my music. They never pushed me to become a doc, engineer etc or whatever rakes in steady $$$$$. They have always wanted me to do something that me makes me happy. I love them with all my heart! They too are my inspiration!
OK before you ask... My mum is Malaysian born British-Chinese and my dad is Filipino (though he sometimes likes to say he's part Italian! hahahah!) I too was born in Malaysia and moved to HK when I was one.... So that makes me???? Yup! You got it! A Heinz 57! A mixed can of beans!
Oooooo one more person I'd like to promote... My mum's good friend! My hairstylist! Her name is Mayda. She works at Hair Corner in Central, 1/F Duke Wellington House, opposite California fitness. She is very friendly and most importantly supports Audiotraffic!
Oh totally just remembered *smacks himself on the forehead* Check out...

Out producer Rob Porter's company! You can rent equipment, hire them to build you a studio, improve sound where ever! He's your man! Most importantly hire him to be a part of your next record or video!
Without this man, there would be no ----->
Peace out,
Don
