X'Mas at GTwo Fun Pub, Kelab Puchong United

Merry Christmas from the B'Tru Band!

We had a blast! GTwo Fun Pub held a Christmas Eve Party and there were lots and lots of prizes given away. Thanks to CARLSBERG for all the prizes.

They have great special menu only on Christmas Eve (didn't know about it till Jarryco wanted to order food and they said they have "special" menu!)

Roast Stuffed Turkey

X'Mas Eve Set Dinner Menu for only RM48++

We reached the pub 5 minutes to 9pm (we never came late but somehow the traffic was really really bad on the way to work!).

Lucky for us the management started the night with some "drinking beer in shot glasses" game. There were 4 people in a group. And these 4 people need to drink beer in shot glasses.. There were many shot glasses that i don't have time to count :)

The fastest group to finish the beer won some prizes courtesy of Carlsberg.

The winning group led by Susan ;P

Some of the supporters of GTwo Fun Pub!

Seri (Bubble Gum) was hoping she could join the drinking beer contest 

but sorry it's only for the public.... :-P

James setting up his laptop.

After a couple of games, we started performing our 1st set. The sound was terrible but we performed like there's nothing else matters.

Many of the regulars turned up. Zack & Evelyn came. The group of Susan and Vincent came too. Mr. Ganeson & Clement were also there. Ben, Ian & Karen turned up (even though they came late but it's ok). Dee was there too.

And as usual, Jarryco and Bob came (they had to leave early though cos they have another meeting somewhere else!)

James & Jarryco

Bob & James

Our 1st break was about 40 minutes. During our break, the management did a few other games which is very interesting. The best game was the "Pass the seaweed"!  And then there's "Guess the Word" game, and a few other games too (this time we were busy chatting and chatting :)

Lollipop & Bubble Gum

James, Nina & Seri

B'Tru Band

We started our 2nd set at 10:45pm till 11:30pm. We did a lot of party songs. Then we had a really short break (10minutes only) before we went up again for our last set. We started again at 11:45, sang a few requested songs, especially TIADA LAGI (our national anthem), and 5 minutes to 12 midnight we stopped and called all the big bosses to come up on stage to do the countdown (CHRISTMAS also got COUNTDOWN meh? Hmmm?).... so ok, strike 12, WE WISHED MERRY CHRISTMAS to the crowd and blow the horns and partay!!!! WOOHOO....

Getting ready to do countdown!

Ha... sampai senget senget kami tiup party horns!

Andy & James after countdown.

The big bosses of Kelab Puchong United doing the countdown!

Ni tak tau apa hal sampai melengkung jadinya!! :)

Andy mata stim! (i swear he's clean!)

 

James & Nina

After the countdown, we said good night but the management had one more last game (i think it was "Musical Chair" before they did the LUCKY DRAW!

When we finished, we packed our things and blow horns again and again and again!!!! ;-P

NEXT COUNTDOWN - NEW YEAR'S EVE - 6 DAYS TO GO!

Don't forget to book your diary and make a date with us, B'TRU Band at GTWO FUN PUB, KELAB PUCHONG UNITED from 9pm to 1am!!!

LET'S WELCOME 2009 TOGETHER!!!

Merry Christmas 2008

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

GTwo Fun Pub will be having a Christmas Eve Party with lots of fun and games. 

The party starts at 4pm, with Alvin performing at 5:30pm. As usual B'Tru Band will perform at 9pm till 12am.

Come and celebrate Christmas Eve and have a blast with us, if you have no place to go!

Audition

We had an audition last Friday, 5 December 2008.

The place will be known as "The Place" since i'm not ready to expose "the place" yet!

note : as long as there is no black and white (contract), i will not reveal the name of the place!

We've played at "The Place" last year, and so basically the management knew James and me. But since we had Seri and Andy only this year, we had to do the audition!

The audition went well (performance wise!).

During soundchecking, it was great. Clear and easy to sing. We started the audition at 3pm when the GM walked in. But when we started singing, the soundman put down the sound and it makes us all having a hard time singing. WTF? 

We sang our hearts out, impressing the management. 

After audition, James had a discussion. They wanted us to start in January 2009, but since we just signed extension contract at Kelab Puchong United and would only be free by April 2009, "The Place" had no choice but to get another band for the next 3 months. 

When we left, it was confirmed that B'Tru Band will be performing at "The Place" in April 2009.

BUT like i said earlier, no contract, i wouldn't reveal the name of the place YET!

In the meantime, keep watching/reading this blog to know "THE PLACE!" :)

We're Extended for another 3 months!

Congratulations to B'Tru Band!

Whether u like it or not, we're extended for another 3 months.

Yes, we already signed the extension contract. The extension will be till end of March 2009.

We knew about our contract extension since early November 2008. It was only verbal. No black and white. I dare not write it/tell the people that we're extended. Luckily, last Tuesday, 2nd December 2008, they called James for a meeting. It only took about 30 minutes only. 

With the new extension contract, we'll be working 6 days (including Saturday) start January 2009. The time remains the same, 9pm - 12am. 

For those who support us all these while, thanks a lot!
