My departure from Outfall (band) and most probably A.O.F. too.

Few weeks before the 7th of November gig (I think it was 2 weeks before the gig, I lost count), I decided to let myself go, let my self out from the band. This was a very hard decision to make, but somehow I have to do so. I quit the band due to many reason. One of them would be to start focusing on other things that is important in my life; such as my education, family & other priorities, but that is not the MAIN reason why I quit on Outfall.

I joined Outfall early 2009 and performed on every show starting on the date I joined in. But after our Peninsular Malaysia tour in the month of May 2009, I found a crack in my relationship with a few of my band mates. That crack slowly grows, and in the end of August, things got "weird", to weird. Who am I to say bad thing about them. Later, things started to get complicated, and in the end, I quit the band. Staying long enough with Outfall made me not want to play music anymore. Besides, I never assume myself and never felt like i was in the band. It was a mental torture (was that a bad word? haha. could find the right word.) staying in the band until just recently.

The Army Of Friends was established in the month of May 2009, where I was in charge of the myspace layout, graphic design, and flier & ticket design. Maybe because i prefer to work alone, I received what you could call "minor bad treatment" from some members of The A.O.F. and also "dark humor" which was quite provocative. Somehow The A.O.F. has crappy management on managing gigs (and i am not the only one who said that. MANY.) and bad account management too.

I wish to be friends with them 'till forever, but somehow forever doesn't exist in my dictionary of life.

Just expressing my thought.

Thanks for reading this.

Yours truly,
Ted.
