I let Jolynn listen to my AMR draft of Le Paradoxe and then, we talked together. She was enthusiastic about the song, and so was I ! Jolynn's lines are in blue while my lines are in green.

facemymusic: nice song. imagine it with strings n drums. ooooh, this can be a hit!

troisnyxetienne: thanks. I intended fast guitar riffs at the part where there's no verse

facemymusic: owh that's cool. electric guitar !

troisnyxetienne: yep !

facemymusic: owh yeah

troisnyxetienne: great minds think alike

facemymusic: yeah ! oh. by the way. u know i play drums rite ?

troisnyxetienne: yep

facemymusic: wanna see some pics ? wakaka promote diri sendiri

troisnyxetienne: ehehehe sure. Na, self-promotion may go a long way if we ultimately meet in the recording studio...

Then, Jolynn and I went to the Picture Viewer and I saw her in her drum circle. I was looking for her until she told me.......

facemymusic: im the shortest one. performance held last tuesday

troisnyxetienne: ohhhh so that's you !

facemymusic: hahaha. i know im short. been wearing the same grey tudung in the pics too.

troisnyxetienne: oh, as we francophones would say, le tacot ! (the little 'un)

facemymusic: =.="

troisnyxetienne: LOL but you guys must've packed a punch

facemymusic: the malays will say: the katik one. but owh we rocked

troisnyxetienne: aw man. Thing is, because someone just scrapped my name off the performers' list I haven't even played for any college functions - and I'll never do so ever again. I'd set my mark somewhere else, I hope.

facemymusic: why ? ala... (truth is, that is my last performance)

troisnyxetienne: Play hard to get. If let's say they already know I'm bound to record, they'll go after me. and, persuade me to perform. but what happened to the time when I didn't record ?

facemymusic: owh n they'll use u for free

troisnyxetienne: they treated me like some castaway ! so, never again !

facemymusic: gosh, terrible of them

troisnyxetienne: yep. even the whole class is saying so. but nyeah well. I guess sometimes things happen.

facemymusic: at least u played in cbn

troisnyxetienne: yeah. more in primary school, though. everything was toned down in secondary and scraped off in upper secondary

facemymusic: owh i remember u. u were from cbn 1 rite?

troisnyxetienne: yep.

facemymusic: i always saw u at the dewan putih, on the piano, with the choir group. I still remember !

troisnyxetienne: that was my favourite hangout - and if I take the whole of my school life, the dewan putih is still my favourite

facemymusic: ahh... the memories

troisnyxetienne: Memories are nice, but that's all they are...

facemymusic: i always preferred the white hall over the red hall

troisnyxetienne: same here ^^

facemymusic: i wonder if u noticed something at the white hall

troisnyxetienne: what ?

facemymusic: at the white hall, one of the tiles are different from the rest ; only one tile

troisnyxetienne: yeah. I think I remember.

facemymusic: its pattern is circular. the rest were triangular

troisnyxetienne: yeah. It's somewhere at the side right ?

facemymusic: yup, near the garden

troisnyxetienne: Mm.

facemymusic: near a pillar also, the back pillar

troisnyxetienne: Hm. I think I'll call that one the cornerstone : forgotten, driven up the wall, laid at the back, but still, without it, the rest of the world will be incomplete and won't be touched (like what I hope to do)

facemymusic: hehe. when i was younger i thought that tile was a warp to a different realm. i was influenced by zelda. teehee

troisnyxetienne: haaaahhhhh ? LOL

facemymusic: i have n still have a strong imagination. i love to daydream

troisnyxetienne: I'm just lucky Kingdom Hearts didn't come out in lower primary

facemymusic: hahaha. LOL. teehee.

troisnyxetienne: but yeah. you were fond of that tile

Some time later, after talking about memories of school-time, questions of faith and whatnot, we went back to Le Paradoxe :

facemymusic: yet another contradiction in the governmental system

troisnyxetienne: Cause always = fighting for the causes of people

facemymusic: owh i see... but i don't see the poor leading a comfortable life. n i see the rich kicking the poor around

troisnyxetienne: Hm..... I seriously hope to make it big someday. Then at least people will know what exactly they're doing/have done when Le Paradoxe is sung

facemymusic: i hope so too. will pray for u, just hope our government won't call the ISA. stupid ISA. should be banned.

troisnyxetienne: I believe they won't dare call the ISA on me.

facemymusic: haha. why eh ?

troisnyxetienne: That comes with prayer, no doubt, but sometimes, when we all know we hate it when people talk horse sense into us, we need it.

facemymusic: yeah

troisnyxetienne: And when I said in the third verse, "Les chaises de pouvoir elles sont occupées, l'on fait rien pour nous aider" = The power chairs (i.e. Parliament) are all filled up, they're doing nothing to help us - the message should be clear enough

facemymusic: oeh yeah... the power chairs are thrown at each other !

troisnyxetienne: LOL. no wonder the words "chaises de pouvoir" came to my head....

facemymusic: hahaha

troisnyxetienne: If I do record a vid for this, I'll REALLY need people to throw chairs at each other.

facemymusic: i wanna act. if you need actors, call me. hahaha.

troisnyxetienne: Okay. I'm listing you in. Bring along another lot of vicious people.

facemymusic: owh i have a busful of them

troisnyxetienne: LOL. Just tell them to mind their behaviour when they're off stage.

facemymusic: hahaha. sure. they're good actors u know. especially when it comes to playing pranks on people. lol

troisnyxetienne: Okay. For Le Paradoxe... I wouldn't wanna picture the first verse because it's too heart-wrenching (where babies are left alone or killed). I'll take over that verse. Then. I'd probably show a city loaded with trash and people walking around

facemymusic: huhuhu

troisnyxetienne: how they can tahan that intolerable stench...

facemymusic: kl is a good place

troisnyxetienne: and then. Bukit Bintang - where we often see guys and girls flirting each other. And some newspaper reports being messed up

facemymusic: owh yeah... pergaulan bebas

troisnyxetienne: Yeah

facemymusic: true

troisnyxetienne: Remember, "Des nanas qui flirtent, des mecs violents" - flirting girls and violent guys

facemymusic: owh... huhuhu

troisnyxetienne: And finally, I'll show the chair-throwing scene.

facemymusic: my scene!

troisnyxetienne: In between, zoom into troisnyx*'s face and show her singing. sweet. there we go.

facemymusic: hahaha

troisnyxetienne: Let's hope it works !

facemymusic: it will. eh. hebatlah me. pakai tudung and throwing chairs...

troisnyxetienne: LOL

facemymusic: hehehe

troisnyxetienne: Who will you be playing ? Nurul Izzah ? or some other politician from the government side ? LOL

facemymusic: can. why not? but i must slim down first. see, i've always thought of making my own short films. but camera phone sucks, my friends have no video cam. huhu

troisnyxetienne: Neither have I, neither have my friends. so yeah. I don't know where to find one. and if I do get one in HD I'll have to upload it in Vimeo, YouTube is ugly for HD

So there we went. This is the current idea for Le Paradoxe. And how I felt about it. I hope and pray that all these ideas materialise...
