we're backafter a two month break. be glad to know tat for once after two month, DP is going back jamming. we've been silent since total metalcore. bur silent doesnt mean we're dead. 6 originals have been produced over tat timespan and we're so gonna practice it during our jamming session. sufran is free from being grounded any longer i guess. the poor bachin had some issues wif his dad and as a result he got grounded.
partly the reason why we have not been active as we would love to. and tomorrow also will be singapre vs malaysia at the national stadium. i'm so gonna be there and scream profanities at the malaysian squad. haha. i just have this thing against them ingrates since i got robbed in jb 2 years back. yeah... i shouldnt elaborate more on this political issue we got here especially about those in the neighbouring state of ours across the causeway. i always feel tat everytime i step into malaysia, i gotta fight for every breath and tell death to fuck off. anyway, lets leave the political issues to the ppl in politics. i dont wanna lead a revolution. haha.
hopefully by sunday we'd get the vocal tracks in on the silent kill. coz tat's the only song sufran is prepared and equiped with. we'll see how it goes for the other few songs. look out for tat on our myspace. till next time. x it's the time of death x @3:38 PM

after months of perfection, DP has finally recorded our first track.. still sticking to it's title: the silent kill. no vocal tracks have been inserted though. we will be covering this song in the upcoming gig if opportunity comes about. for a preview of the song, pls go to our myspace page at www.myspace.com/dyingportrait
it was supposed to be project pop or project x, watever they decided on, consisting of deedee, joe, boya, raymond and milah. matters have to complicate for joe.. conscription for his part. and the morning before the gig, deedee met with an accident. at the point of time, no one had any idea as to how badly injured he was. we only knew tat he had to be warded.. so to us, tat was to a certain degree of seriousness.
so boya called upon hariz a/l sidek to fill in for deedee. and two nites before, naaz was called to take up bass position.. after a few reshuffling, it came to this: basically it was us playing, with the two vocals of dead since 13. and it was all an eleventh hour thing. esp for hariz who was called in like a few hours before the gig. still, i think we did ok and we were having fun for most part of the show. from the lame pranks and our rowdy attitude.
yesterday was also the day i decided i shall fulfill my promises to mum about cutting them dreads away. a promise is still a promise though i was a week late in keeping it. so yeah, after i got home from the gig, i was quite emotional and reluctant to cut it away. but i did. and kept two of it. haha it's like i have two fucking long sideburns. and it was certainly an orgasmic experience getting to shampoo and scrubbing yr scalp after almost two months not getting the full satisfaction of doing so. so yah, i'm anti-ketombe now.
resolution and i am so gonna make tis happen for myself!
more like a wishlist. like promises, it's made never meant to be fulfilled. empty.
those above are but a few examples.
it was brought to my attention that some blogger wif a writer's block would just prefer browsing through other blogs and just copy and paste into their entries. such writer wif lack of ideas think it'd be nice tat suddenly in one sentence of the paragraph, the command of his/her english is flawless and in most other parts of the entries, her holy highness queen of england would shun and laugh upon the gramatical and childish mistakes only a fool would commit.
to tat blogger, i hope u refrain from doing such acts again. if u are facing a writer's block, just quit writing. i'd assume all sentences wif no mistakes gramatically are all copied from somewhere right?
back on track, DP received an anonymous msg providing us wif an opportunity to play this coming saturday at gashaus. no final decision has been officially made by the band. it'll probably be turned down by us due to boya's commitment wif project x, (or is it project pop?) since they're playing at the same venue the very next day.
anyways, DP has been on an indefinite hiatus which i have no idea when it will end. haha i certainly miss jamming.. i'd say it's been about a month since we last got together.
be back for more updates soon. the school term just began today, kids, keep it straight, stay in school. keep off drugs. x it's the time of death x @3:07 PM

A few hours left of 2006...did it make u or break u? resolutions attained or disregarded? Hmm...I would say it was a good yr for DP... though this has been our first yr or so together... we forged new friendships wif a lot of ppl, shared the stage wif great bands in the local gigs... one band tat really catches my attention, has to be none other than Melanie murder... we hope to be part of more gigs in the coming year.
There has been a sudden lapse in activity for dp eversince total metalcore ended. Haha watdafuck... The band has been completely silent from practice sessions and wat nots... There's no plans from the band about whatever though there have been a sudden flow of creative forces between milah and boya...yerp, a few originals have been produced but haha... we'll see about tat... damn. haha.. I dunno wat else to blog about.. ok ok;for us, I think if we have to name a few events which was memorable, these would be the list:
Worst Gig event winner: The one at ij, by skreenprint productions... fantastic crowd of none. Haha coz we were the first to play.
Best Gig nominees: - our first gig ever at IJ... It was a first! - I cant recall the event name, but I think it was Agression Please. I think the one where Odds of Stella played their first also. - Our second time playing at GasHaus... whatever event tat was.
Most Anti-Climatic event winner: Total Metalcore. Period.
I woke up yesterday to a day so bright, I only had one thing in mind, to get the band together and go take some band shots...after much deliberation, we got our act together. But as always, someway, somehow, we couldn't get sufran no matter how hard we tried. And he will always be left out of our band shots...fucking crap anak Bengali! Nanti complain!!! Anak haroun...in the end, senoi became the fotographer of the day. This was all a last minute thing, and the results of the shot was just marginal. To view the fotos, pls go to: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/dyingportrait/album/576460762381648106
It’s raya haji today... I haven't been helping my uncle out for two straight years. Whatever...wif a head full of dreads, the only thing I'll get is laser sharp eyes from the "org-org kuat" kat masjid. Raya haji doesn't bring much meaning anyways. haha all I'd get most raya haji will be bau kambing...hhaha... anyways,saya bagi pihak dying portrait menyusun 50 jari kaki dan 50 jari tangan dan memohon ampun andai ada salah silap, terkasar bahasa, tercuri rokok, terkebas lighter dan macam macam lagi kalau ada ter-sana, ter-sini...maafkanlah saja kami sesungguhnya kami ni semua lamb of god.
Tonite also, setelah bersembahyang raya di pagi raya, ramai budak2 hingus akan kembali ke jalan songsang, menyambut tahun baru disamping perempuan dan botol2 air minuman keras... jauhilah kami dari itu tuhan...sesungguhnya kalau kami meminum air syaithan, maka syaithan syaithan sejagat tiada air untuk minum... haha ok, pardon my god speech everyone.. haha
2007 coming rite up, 2006 came and gone in the blink of an eye... I'm wishing everyone reading this a happy new year. things wont be happy always, but at the start of the yr, I hope it will be happy. some poor kid might lose their life tonight to some random acts of senseless violence, some parents might be broken their kid will die, some pets will be orphans. have a blessed and safe party to all ppl who reads this before countdown. Those who don't read this before 2007, and only come across this after ushering in 2007, thank god u live and see the new year. Keep it safe. Coz u never when and where doom may strike.. haha

the gig tat was supposed to be the most memorable for dying portrait turns out to be just dat. for the wrong reasons. total metalcore for us was total metalcrap.
firstly, the turnout wasnt as great as the turn out for battalion1. next was the re-shuffling in the band line up. for watever goddamn reason. that left us waiting. we were supposed to go on somewhere after the middle of the event, but we played only second to last. and i slept while waiting. i could have completed my painting at home! then came the blow for us. 4 songs. tat's all luke told we had time for. utter crap. horse shit.after all the waiting, tat was all we had time for. 4 bloody songs. wtf. and some bands had longer playing time. one played 8 songs i think. watever it was, it ruined the whole damn mood.
i've never seen sufran so bloody pissed. i tot he of all of us, were the least concerned about the band.. haha but he proved his worth. he was furious. and then we were outside pissing ourselves away and roy came up to us and apologize. saying he was sorry and all, and talking bout compensating us some cash and promising tat we will get wat we deserve in our next gig. tat was the least sufran could care for. wat drove him mad was tat we were told only when we were about to go on. not before hand.
and upon reaching home, boya was told by munky tat the instruction luke gave us was passed down by roy himself. wtf. so wat was the apologies and compensation ever for? colin's bulletin proved it's worth. based on wat i've heard, and based on the events tat happened to us at totalmetalcore, i guess things are clearly proven about xtreme music. i think the rest is history.
on a lighter note, our brothers and sisters from shadows embrace and rhetorical theory brought the house down. great sets from both bands. and on behalf of dying portrait, i'd like to thank everyone one who stayed to watch us play those four pathetic songs though at the end of our set, i heard and felt some disappointment from the crowd. we hail u guys who support us. adios. x it's the time of death x @7:47 PM
