Trip to the land of Grunge !

I was practically lazy to do Blogging Stuffs ! Yes I do. Reason being is that I am lazy. That's it , period ! The motivation was kind of low as they were lots of transitioning happen throughout these years, venturing to new stuffs, new hobbies, new job scope, new housing area , new wife......( oops, I mean new WIFI setting ...), what the crap !

ok, back to the 2014 Blog --

1991 was the year that i got to learn about grunge music. Back, where I grew up,  it doesn't really matter , almost everything that sounds hard was categorized as "Rock".   And in fact, i didn't even know they called it grunge , subversive rocks, alternative etc. I just enjoy the music flow and simplicity of the lyrics, particularly I am talking about the band Nirvana. It was on the sofa , around 2.00 pm , as I was laying down after school, that I first heard the buzzing sounds of "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Music to me is something that add flavors to your journey , it is not a priority , but still something that follows you as you pace through life, throughout joys and difficulties. Yes, to me it represent both.

Recently, I was on a two weeks job assignment to the United States, and at first, I  wasn't really sure exactly the location of the place, after I "Google Map",  well..well...Look what I found ....an interesting fact that the work assignment area is not too far away from Seattle, Washington. The home ground of my all time favorite band , Nirvana. So I took some effort to study the information and found out that there is a museum in Seattle call the EMP Museum where they have a gallery for Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix and some other artists. So before the assignment , I told my team mate that visiting the museum is part of my wish list.  I don't really care about going to Factory Outlet or whatsoever. But I do enjoy spending time at Walmart , especially the Outdoor portion ! I got to know from my internet search that the so called famous "Pearl Jam" is also from Seattle, but who cares , I don't really like Pearl Jam anyway. Starbuck Coffee is also from Seattle, and again, who cares , I don't like Star Buck too ! What Fish ! I mean the  Seattle Pike Fish Market .

 
             
So, on the second week in the US, I went to Seattle to check it out. About an hour drive. We had our lunch in a Turkish Restaurant. Nice food. It happens to be that my team mates have very little clue about the grunge musics and of course , Nirvana in particular. So I suggested to them to drop me at the museum and pick me up later, so they could have other interesting tours at the Seattle area.  But upon reaching at the EMP museum, they decided to join me. It was just a quick tour of USD20 ticket per person. Frankly speaking , it was below my expectation kind of International Gallery. I was kind of expecting something "wow" but it turned up to be something "hmmm". Pity my team mates who followed me as they had not much clue about the museums contents and the overall tour concept, had to spend 2 hours walking and paid USD20.

Stuffs there are quite expensive, but I just grabbed few items , the compulsory EMP Museum T , Nirvana T, Jimi Hendrix & EMP Guitar Pick Collections, Fabric  Posters of Kurt Cobain and Guns N Roses. Seriously, now I do not know what to do with those stuffs ! So, when i start writing , kind of hard to stop and things just flying in my head, ready to be printed on this wall. Come As You Are , Territorial Pissing.
