The HBB

Me: Hey what're you guys doing on Monday? Today's already Saturday wei.
Julian & Boon: Huh what's going on on Monday?
Wei Liang: Haane's Birthday la sorrr!
Basil: Eh ya wei. Let's do something for her.
Me: I wanted to surprise her. Like bring her to somewhere for dinner.. Then you guys pop out.
Wei Liang: Where? I mean where for dinner.
Me: I dunno.. I'll call you when I thought about it.
Basil: Eh! I can't make it on Monday la.. Need to go to Ipoh for 3 days.. But let's make something for her.
Wei Liang: I wanna make chocolate cake.

It started out from this simple conversation. Basil suggested a music video for Haane. Serious? And I was on the phone with Haane during the MSN group conversation.

Basil: Eh Andu, what's Haane's favourite song?
Me: Er.. Wait ar.

Me: Haane, what's the first song that comes to your mind right now?
Haane: Erm.. There the one that goes(starts singing), "Love grows where my Rosemary goes.. "
Me: Oh how come? So old already the song.
Haane: I was watching Shallow Hal.

Me: "Edison Lighthouse - Love Grows"
Julian: LOL! Basil dislike songs that is older than the 90's.
Wei Liang: Oh this song! *starts typing the whole lyrics on the msn chatroom*
Basil: Oh no la anything's fine. You sure ar Love Grows?
Me: Yea sure. But anything la.
Basil: Oh k k. Sure ar? But I was thinking about "Jason Mraz - I'm Yours".
Me: Lol..
Julian: Sorr. Let's just do both.
Wei Liang: Eh let's do "LFO - Every Other Time" also.. Or "Fastball - The Way", or.. *List goes on*
Basil & Me: Let's just stick to Rosemary.
Wei Liang: Ok la.. Brbz, I go make chocolate cake.
Me & Julian: Huh? Since when you know how to bake. Eh..... WTF!

We meet up at 5pm the next day. 1 day before Haane's Birthday, so much to do, so much time(or so we thought). We went to a park near Boon's house and we started unpacking and brought out the instruments. There were a lot of people around playing and jogging. "No, people, we ain't busking but you can start throwing coins if you want".

As time goes by, we notice that each shot we take is getting darker and darker. We had no choice but to take as little time and shot as we could. It's already 8pm. We went to Taipan for dinner and discussed bout the next location. We need a piano.. Boon's place.

There were quite a lot of people at his place so we had to do this fast! Boon's family was watching a football match that has just started. Manchester United vs. Chelsea. It did distract us for a while in certain near-goals situation. We then had to shoot for I'm Yours and we decided to make it much more interesting with a different approach. Wishes! How could we forget.. We also took individual shots, taking turns to wish her for her Birthday. By the time we're done, the match was over. It's around 11pm and Wei Liang and Lilian left. Basil decided to come over to my place for the editing and we managed to get Julian and Boon to come along.

Me and Basil was setting up our stuffs. When we were about to edit, look what Julian and Boon found. Scrabbles! I wasn't really into Scrabbles till Basil asked, "Have you guys play Grabbles?". Now that really caught my attention. All 4 of us played for like 30 minutes till Basil realised it's getting really late. After an hour of editing, look what Julian and Boon dug up next.. Harry Potter Chess Set! Luckily it's a 2 player thingy and the editing goes on. By the time we finished, it was already 4.45am. We're pretty exhausted, but it was time well spent and worth it. Take a look, and enjoy!



Edison Lighthouse - Love Grows, by HBB

It's all lip sync, 1 - 2 takes(3 at most), and all in a days work. "Jason Mraz - I'm Yours", by HBB was unfortunately too large(340mb) to be uploaded. I really have to thank Basil for his tremendous effort for this project, and Julian, Boon, Wei Liang, and Lilian for their endless will to help and support, and finally Haane for giving us a reason for this project and the existence of this music video. We're proud to call ourselves HBB, Haane's Birthday Band. We're doing this for a friend and also for fun as well, but if there's any request for music video, please do not hesitate to ask HBB(which can also be Happy Birthday Band) for a HBB Production Music Video! Thanks for watching!
