KP and I had never had a serious conversation for so long. KP is the son of a famous rock artist in Myanmar. I first got to know him when I toured Singapore during my third album. I was touring with his dad and other singers and he came along as a family member. We clicked because of the fact that we both love Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day. Then, he started hanging out with me when we both got back in Myanmar. Since then, we both were pretty good friends, playing guitar and writing songs.
A year later, KP worked on his first album with his band, Big Bag, and I remember how excited he was. We had some times when we toured together. I also worked on an album with KP, which did not get released because of the lack of producers. Then, I flew off to Australia to study.
I lost touch with KP intentionally because I was scared he was gonna judge my homosexuality. I came back five years later and KP’s band has become Myanmar’s number one punk band and he’s got a wife and a kid. We got on well again but I found it a bit hard to think of things to say. He was usually on weed and I was usually on topic of gay related incidents.
He’s been working for this radio station, Cherry FM, and he came over my place to talk about having me DJ my own show, which will be 20 minutes per week and I’d be paid 100 bucks per month, which was pretty cool. The best thing was the fact that I’ll get to talk in English. Then, he talked about directing my music video and how he would help me out with the planning, the camera crew and other stuffs.
Then, we went to a café, smoked like chimneys and talked about life. I opened up to him. I told him that I was in a lot of stress paying off my mom’s debt. We both talked about how our parents would leave things for us to solve and this cannot be ignored because they are our parents. His case was worse since he also has his family to take care of. It’s funny how we all want to run away from people we can’t stop saving, thus always end up coming back for them.
I was also glad to find out he find it quite amusing to have me listen to his songs. It was funny cos out of his nine good songs, two of them made me have goosebumps. It was just so good and I was so proud of him. He was working for his ‘ten years’ celebratory album. He also mentioned how I was the only one who would notice and appreciate several styles that he had used and implemented in his songs; we both still have the same taste.
After talking with BooMan for a couple of hours online, I spent dinner with Loggie and SuitMan, which was yet another good time. I love these two guys; we like to see ourselves as a triplet. Since I’ll be directing a music video of my song where Loggie and SuitMan will star with two other model chicks, Loggie and I talked about the script and who to use. We were later joined by a group of gay men, one of them, who I believe, likes Loggie and SuitMan. SuitMan was pretty convinced that he likes Loggie too but Loggie kept telling me he actually likes me. Yeah, dream on sister.. I got a man and if I were to be single and hit on a guy, it would definitely not be him.
A day of bromance.. my Saturday feels awesome.
