sorry isn't the hardest word anymore

Photo by ~Egglet

Firstly, I want to apologies to a single soul that may be hurt because of my previous post. Yes, I am very sorry that I had to put the complicated moment to its end. Honestly I am not a person that really can face complexity very well. Especially things that are related to my feelings. Even though I tried to fool myself once, but it's seems like I got no power to stay strong and just be happy with it. Sorry that my decision is final. Sorry.

Sometimes I wish I could live in an understanding-free zone. I could roll around in pigshit ignorance not thinking about anybody else's feelings or circumstances or future or past. I could live my life at the same fluffy-duffy superficial level as everyone else, relieved of the compulsion to satisfy everyone.

But then, I realised, at the end of the day, I'm just playing human. As a person, I am sometime complicated. But that doesn't mean that I want to live in a complicated life.

so right but yet so wrong

How can something feel so right can be so wrong? Can someone please answer the question that keep running in my head since ever. Yes, you all must be damn bored already when you guys know that the question is related to my love life. Love is damn complicated right?! (sigh! Sigh! Sigh!)

This kind of wrong-feel-so-right thingy sometimes make me so tired to fall in love anymore (or again). Oh God, for a while, please avoid the feeling from me. I don't want to fall in love in 2-3 years from now.

Talking about love, I had experienced all the common drama/ tragedy. 1) Truly love someone that will never love me. Done. 2) Someone that I will never love, love me so much. Done. 3) Truly love someone that truly love me back but we can't fall in love. Done!!!! Yay for me! I can get an award with the title “ Achievement of a lifetime – in love Drama”. Hahaha. =(

Love suppose to be so easy. Love can make the world so peace. But when you're in love tragedy, the world seems to be like the hardest place to live. (Habis tu kau nak duduk katne ared?!) People say that love is the medicine for a lonely heart. But what if there's no love? I guess I'll get the epidemic of loneliness. (sigh! Lagi...)

p/s: I love you sooo much, but I just can't. Sorry.

ana raffali

I'm not kidding when i say Ana Raffali is damn talented. Watch this video. Listen to the song. Listen to her voice!

Lots of things happened lately but i just don't have the urge to write. Maybe because I am so tired. (Penat ke? haha!) For a start, I already got my driving license (at last). Now I have the love-to-drive car syndrome. It's common to people that just get their licences maybe. But I don't like to drive the manual car. It's just so hard! Luckily my dad cars are automatic. Ghee!

I went to Rantai Event last Saturday. I don't like it this year especially the art exhibition. Nothing much to see. Not that interesting accept for the lomokids and a picture by palancut. I got to watch Ana Raffali performed live at rantai that evening. With Aidit Alfian and Andy Flop Poppy backing her up on music, It's a blast! she's so sweet, and her music... WOW! No wonder Aidit always promoting her music to me. Jaga-jaga abg aidit! dah ada pesaing ni! haha!

Other than that, on the same time at Sg. wang rooftop, there's a free a gig called U.O.X play. Got the chance to see one buck shot playing. I really want to see White Shoes & The Couples Company play but i got to went home early. too bad! maybe next time.

a happy week

last week is a blast! meeting afgan and convo! huhuhu!

Films

I love to watch films. Interpretation of a good or great films may varies to individual. To define a good film is not easy. There are so much aspect to be considered. But for me, I like to see the content of the film either it's strong or not. But sometime, a simple story with a strong presentation can be a great film. So, according to me, this is the list of film everybody should watch at least once in a lifetime.

Best Experimental Film

Director:Gus Van Sant Release Date: 3 October 2003 (Italy)

Tagline:

An ordinary high school day. Except that it's not.

You should watch this because...
to me, this the BEST film ever. For the 1st hour, you may not understand what the film all about but then you'll surely be surprise because it's not an ordinary film. At the end of this movie, I'm like "Oh!... Oooh! OMG! so on". So you get what I mean. I'm satisfied.

Most Beautiful Film

Director:Yasmin Ahmad Release Date: 6 April 2006 (Malaysia)

Tagline: Why do we hurt the most, The ones we love the most?

You should watch this because...
to me, this is Malaysia's best film. It's so beautiful just because. Watch it to know what I mean by that. If you're clever enough you'll get it. Haha... and this film also is so funny (Especially the 'race to the hospital' and ' orked dancing on the lorry' scene.)
Best Comedy Film

Director:Jean-Marc Vallée Release Date: 3 March 2006 (Italy)

Tagline: Growing up in this family, you'd have to be... C.R.A.Z.Y.

You should watch this because...
it's damn CRAZY! It's a witty and funny film.

Best Crime Film

Director:Alejandro González Iñárritu Release Date: 16 June 2000 (Mexico)

Tagline: Love. Betrayal. Death

You should watch this because...
lots of reasons!

1. Inarritu is brilliant
2. Gael garcia is also brilliant.
3. the first 10 minutes blow me away. Imagine the rest of this movie.
4. too lazy to write. =)

Best Drama Film

Director:Robert Redford Release Date: 2 March 1981 (Sweden)

Tagline: Everything is in its proper place... Except the past.

You should watch this because...
it's draggy as hell, make me sleepy all the way but still, I damn love it! It's a love-hate relationship between me and this film.

Senyuman yang Sempurna

Currently, I am busy with my new script called 'Senyuman yang sempurna' (working title). My strategy now is to finish writing lots of script first before submitting to any production house. Senyuman yang Sempurna basically is about a girl name Syami that try to find a boy name Dani so that she can tell him his mother last words before she past away. The storyline is quite complicated but I've work it out. The treatment have been completed and now I am busy writing the dialogue. Yes, it's the hardest part! huhuhu...

celebrity crush

from left to right Brooke Shields, Lindsay Price and Kim Raver

Did you all watch lipstick jungle? I just love the series. To be honest, it's better than Sex in the city. And I don't know how, I got a huge celebrity crush on Kim Raver (as Nico Reilly). OMG! Another celebrity crush! I think she's damn hot. Plus there's lots of saucy scene between Nico and her toy-boy boyfriend Kirby (Played by Robert Buckley).

Forget about that, I would like to thanx everybody that had wish me birthday wishes. Thanks guys and girls. This is the list of people that had wish me according to who wish me first.

KAMI - The Movie

I am a big fan of the TV series. What makes KAMI is so lovable is that the story is so real can be relate to almost all the urban teenagers. It's quite similar to what I see or experience throughout my life in KL. Gigs, drugs, groupies, shoplift, funky trend, music, etc .

About the movie, I enjoyed watching it and surely I love it so much. For sure it's not 100 % perfect but this movie is worth it to be considered. Congrats to Effendee Mazlan and Fariza Azlina Isahak. Good job guys, on bringing indie world to the big screen.

Now, step in to my comments. Firstly, I would like to talk about the storyline. If you never watch the series, this movie is great on the story. Although the story is simple, it is so entertaining. As a die hard fan of the tv series, I spot some lacking on the story. For example, I am disappointed that that this movie did not show more on Adii (ZAYANAH IBRAHIM) story. I love the story about Adii and her deaf mother in the series and it's a disappointment when I realized that the continuity of their relationship is not in the movie. One more thing, if u stick on the series, you'll realized the coldness in the relationship between Ali (Syarul Ezani) and his mother. They are not that cold in this movie for sure. I don't get it! The movie told more stories on Lyn, Ali and Abu, a little bit of Sofie drama and totally left Adii out from the picture.

On the technical part,the cinematography is very light and easy to watch but I did not get any cinematic feel from watching this movie. It's like watching the series at the cinema. Not watching movie at the cinema. Get what I mean? Huhuhu. Easily said, the movie is very easy on eyes and trough. And I do agreed on Razaisyam (iamstradust.blogspot.com) comments that the editing and color correction can be improve to make this movie more extravagant.

And now, my favorite part. Critics on the cast. Lets start with Liyana Jasmay as Lyn. I do agree that she's looking damn hot in the movie. So gadis urban! I just love her expression when Lyn got in trouble. Nice. She's good but not perfect yet. But a big future for her in this entertainment industry. Nas T as Abu is so Great with a capital G!! I am so impressed with his acting and I am not surprise. Juliana Sophie as Sofie is boring... She's not bad at all but another beautiful pan-asian girl that 'OK-ly' can act bore me! And her voice is sometimes was irritating. She needs something extra to make me love her. Ezani as Ali and Zayna as Adii were also 'ok2 aje'. Nothing surprising. Ezani have to work out more on his expression and dialog. Zayna for me doing a good job but there's nothing much to comment because the character is so limited.

To my surprise, the bad boy in this movie, Boy played by Zahiril Adzim blow my mind. Other than Nas T, Zahiril Adzim is the next big thing. It's a shame for Ezani when Zahiril Adzim steal the light when Ali is part of the KAMI gang and Boy is not. I am so in love with Zahiril Adzim, I hope to get him to act in my future movie. He's so talented and I believe there's a lot more to explore with his talent.

So guys, watch KAMI the movie! ***1/2

mémoires d'un frienship

pix by *cela-me-va-bien

Today, I am in the mood to write about a friend. A friendship. So, this is the story...

Amran is my best friend. Forever! 4 years ago, on today exact date, Amran pass away because of cancer. We're only 19 years old at that time. I am not going to tell the story about my sadness trough his cruel and silent death but this is a story about two best pal on earth.

Amran always there in some part of my heart. “Forever”, is my promise to him the moment I found out about his illness. He cried when I told him that I never will find a friend like him again. And for the record, I haven't. Yes, I have met other best friends like like Pijan, Airin, Ica, Farhan and Yusuf. But they are surely not Amran. What makes Am so special is, I never have to make any effort to be his best friend. Our friendship just flow as easy as the calming wind.

Throughout our friendship, we never have any major fight. But we do fight some times when I disagree on his terrible taste in music or when he judge my taste in girls (hahaha). But deep inside, even with the whole lots of differences, we're best friend. Am once said, “the differences that we have make us perfect as a friend. We complete each other”. I used to laugh when the first time I heard that. But now, I smile when I read the phrase again in his diary that he give to me a day before he leave this world.

Yes, in lots of way, he complete me as a person. He teach me about lots of thing when he is still around and even now, when he's not here, the lessons keep coming to me trough all the memories that we had.

Tomorrow, I'll spare some of my busy time to visit his grave. It's been a year since the last time I went there. But thank god, I never forget to recite some Al-fatihah for him whenever he came to my mind. I pray to God to never give me another best friend like Am just for the reason, I don't want to forget him. Al-Fatihah for all the peaceful soul. Amin.

Puasa

Ramadhan is back! I always love Ramadhan. It's the month that I have to force myself to get in control in every aspect of life. Ramadhan is kinda the month that help me makes my life back to the particular 'right' line. Thank GOD for Ramadhan! Alhamdulillah...

This Ramadhan, I become a businessman. Hahaha! Not really a businessman, but I am going to help my aunt selling drinks and kueh mueh at Pasar Ramadhan. Today is my 1st day. Damn! It's tiring! But I am ok! huhuhu... I am happy when all the kueh that I make sold out today! If everyday going to be like today, I'm going to be rich this raya! hahaha!

For my ongoing life plan, I just applied to continue my studies at Universiti Malaya (UM) and Universiti Putra (UPM). I am confident I'll get in but... Is this what I really want? Sadly, I don't have the answer now.

shut the f*** up!

I am tired with myself lately. I realized that everybody the same age with me have grow up but not me (I mean mentally). I am soooo not into the adult world! I am not ready for the adulthood. It's a state where people aspect too much from you, while you know deep inside you're just a kid. Not an adult yet!

I don't know, maybe its true or it's just me being selfish. Wait! Isn't selfish is a characteristic of an adult? Maybe I AM ready for adulthood! As if!

Or maybe my hormone and mood is not stable today. So I tell myself, shut the f*** up!!!

big idea

My life is quite dull for this moment! It's so flat and uninteresting! huhuhu... Luckily one day while I'm watching tv, I saw an ad about this website : http://www.bigidea.com.my/ . Finally, I think this is it! This is my calling! I am always had ideas on making lots of TV program. Hopefully I can give my best shot in giving idea trough this program. huhu!

For my plan on this ramadhan, I will open a booth at a bazaar ramadhan near my house at Pantai Dalam with my mak uda. We will sell stuff like drinks (watermelon, guava, asam boi, asam limau, jagung etc), puding, baked macaroni, bubur etc. At least I got extra money for raya! Plus, I planned to go for a holiday at Jakarta on this raya. huhuhu... (harap-harap jadi la!!!) =)

At last I can spare some of my time to write something on this blog. I am totally back people! Huhu..

Today I want to write about my work experience and why I quit my job so fast. No, I am not going to be so emotional as you guys hope, I just want to make it clear (hopefully).

The reason why I quit my job is I can't stand my boss. I don't care if you said that I quit too fast or whatever but I am sure any person that have emotional level like me will quit the job too. Like my ex-officemate said, there is no male staff can ever stand my boss. I have 2 bosses, a male and a female. The female boss is OK but the other one is so irritating and I hate to see his face any longer. Everyday when I go for work, I can feel the tension running out my head. He even haunting me when I am not at work. Did I do my good enough? or will he satisfy with my work? Are the questions that's always bugging my mind. It is so stressful! He is the kind of person that ask for things that are impossible to do. He keep judging on my video editing and ask me to re-edit. There's one video of a model that he asked me to edit and I have edit it for 7^th times and he is still not satisfied. Then, I figure that I want to test him. For the 8^th time, I send my first editing and he said that is what he want. Duh! It's so annoying! It's more annoying when I know the fact that he didn't know anything about video editing and he is COLOURBLIND! What the f*** up! (Cool down areed, don't lost your temper here) hahaha!

I am also annoyed for the fact that the company is only a modelling agency company that provide model for people that do TV commercial and Print Ad. What's the point to make extra ordinary video when all the client wanted to see is only the face and the potential of the models. Everyday, when he walk in into the office, my mood to work is totally turn to zero. I got a nature in me that I cant perfom well when I don't have heart to do it. So, after lots of thinking and advise from my friends, I quit the job! Huh!

Miss Malaysia

Deborah Henry will come to my office today! I am so excited!!!! I am like sooooooooooo into her! She's one of the most beautiful Malaysian!! I hope she really come. YEY! =)

Berlari-lari

I started working on Tuesday, 1st of July. It's a little bit tiring but so fun! huhuhu! Maybe I am over excited because this is my 1st official full-time job. My job is quite easy. I have to touch up all the picture that have been taken. Remove all the eye-bag, pimples or 'lubang²' on the models faces. Also repair all lightings so that the model look more gorgeous. For now, that's all I have to do including open the door or answering the phone. But just not all that yet. I also have to edit video, take pictures and videos or arrange casting session. But my bosses ask me to take it slow and slowly I'll learn everything a Multimedia Designer have to do in this agency. Last, I just wanna say, I am having fun... =)

Feel like flying

Yes! I got the job at D'casting Modelling Agency as a Mulitimedia Designer! I'll start on 1st of July. Thanxx everyone for the love and support! yey to me! =)

job hunting

picture by: angelcurls

Last Monday, I went for 2 interview. The first interview was in Bangsar, a company call 'D'casting Agency'. It is a modelling agency. I applied for multimedia designer. I really hope i get this job because the place is so near to my house, the office is nice (haha), the job sound fun and i get to meet hot models everyday. Hahaha! The 2nd interview is kinda too boring for me. It is for an advertising company called 'Elypsis Malaysia'. they design ad campaign mostly for properties company. Today, I attend the 'Ujian Berkomputer JPJ'. Berjaya!! I also got a phone call from d'casting telling me to come tomorrow at their office for second interview. Wah! That's why I am soooo in a good mood today. =)

the first step

Yesterday I take the first step of my attempt to have a driving license with attending the mandatory 5 hours KPP(lupa maksud die) class. It was a total waste of my time! I hate it so much! While the content of the book that provided by JPJ is quite impressive, the learning progress is a total pain in my ass! At the end of the longest 5 hours in my entire life, i realised that I got NOTHING from the class. The teacher is a very syok sendiri perasan pandai (sspp) type. Yeah! He thinks he is sooo clever so that he can talk about almost everything (that is not related to the class) including about his health issue, his hobby etc. Hei! I don't come to that fcuking class to know about you stupid! I dont even know you and I dont want to, a**hole! Maybe he doesn't have that many friends to share his story, but damn! dont tell us!

Clearly I am soooooooooooo disappointed!

honeymoon~~~

Yes! I am at my honeymoon moment where i got nothing to do in my life. Its kinda cool because my mind feel so free and happy. hahaha! just finish my studies last month, check my final result yesterday and will get my degree certificate around august to october (not sure) and I am so thankful to god for giving me this wonderful and colorful student life. Yey! I'll keep as my sweet moment of my life.
.
Last monday, I went to Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) with bff Pijan and Ica. We are now officially the owner of a company called "Pau Production". Alhamdulillah! Dreams may or will come true. huhuhu! For now, insyallah we will produce our first movie by 2009. I really hope that the film (Epidemik Cinta Kuala Lumpur) will come true! God help us!
.
To make sure that this film come true, we had to work damn very hard! But we promised (at least I know I am) not to complaint ever! hahaha! but it's kinda fun! To make a project that you love with people that you love, it's satisfying!

It’s been a long time! A month since the last post OMG! I am so sorry guys. just don’t have the mood to write down here. Hahaha! Lots of stuff happened to me within this one month. My life getting better each day and of course it is full with drama. LOL!

I will like to start with the story about a friend of mine that tried to kill herself. Gosh! So Drama! On that day, while I am waiting for the bus to Shah Alam, (I got a mid-term test for Asian Politics subject) her husband called me and asked me to come to the hospital immediately. He told me about her condition. Luckily, she is ok. I am f-ing shock! Immediately, I went to Pudu to catch the bus to JB. Yeah, she is in JB and need me so much. But then I realize I didn’t have the money to go. So I called Yusuf to pinjam some money but he refused to help me with the money. He actually helps me more. We actually went to JB together almost immediately. Thanks God I got friend like Yusuf! Thanks Yusuf!!!! =)

Then, after that so dramatic event my life got back on its normal track. But I totally forget about the fact that I have missed the mid term test and automatically lost 20% of my marks. Gosh! That is why I have to study damn hard for my Asian politics paper. But, I never regret about not seating for the test. At least I know, I missed that test for a real good reason. She is one of my best friends. I just have to. It is my nature. Hahaha!

I just finished all my final papers for this final semester yesterday. Alhamdulillah. I got lots of stuff to do! First, my goal to have the driving license, continue the project of my debut film Epidemik Cinta KL (Razaisyam just agreed to participate with this project. Yey!), meet Aidit Alfian and talk about my songs, finish writing my novel etc. Haish! Byk betol!

I found this singer on youtube. He is an Indonesian. His voice is so good. Love his song! Oh! His name is Afgan.

madonna & justin

love this song, love this video.

jason castro

O i just love this guy sing the song called "Hallelujah". Jason Castro is not my favorite in this year idols but I just love when he sang this song. It is so beautiful!

Teriak!

Currently I'm damn busy making my final project come true. The program is called "Teriak~salurkan perasaan melalui seni". I hope that this project will give me an A for my TV directing subject. Insyaallah!

Remaja sering berteriak. Jiwa mereka memberontak. Pada mereka ada sahaja yang tidak kena dengan kehidupan yang mereka jalani. Perkara ini terjadi disebabkan beberapa faktor. Antaranya ialah ledakan hormon jiwa remaja yang tidak menentu, transisi kehidupan daripada kanak-kanak kepada dewasa, dan waktu dimana remaja mula merasa mempunyai tanggungjawab yang berat. Namun ada segelintir remaja yang berteriak secara positif. Mereka menyalurkan luahan rasa marah, benci, sayang, cemburu dan sebagainya melalui pelbagai medium seni. Antara medium seni yang menjadi pilihan untuk mereka berteriak ialah melalui lukisan, fotografi, lagu, layar dan penulisan. Selain mendatangkan hasil, teriakkan ini membuatkan mereka lebih dihormati. Teriakkan perasaan yang bijak ini boleh dijadikan inspirasi kepada para remaja yang lain untuk dicontohi. =)

Rancangan ini berbentuk “rancangan majalah ekperimental”. Rancangan ini dibawakan dengan mood yang lebih gelap namun tetap ceria. Ia bersesuaian dengan jiwa remaja yang sering memberontak dan penuh berwarna-warni.

Rancangan ini membawa penonton mengenali remaja-remaja yang berjaya menyalurkan perasaan mereka menjadi karya seni yang boleh diikuti dan dibanggakan. Rancangan “Teriak!” ini dikendalikan oleh Miss Fyn yang sangat gempak. Terdapat 3 segmen yang telah dipecahkan mengikut medium seni seperti lagu dan layar, fotografi dan lukisan. Segmen-segmen tersebut adalah conteng-conteng, kotak-kotak, & kelip-kelip.

Thanx to Meet Uncle Hussein(Kotak²), Sue Anna Joe (Kelip²) dan Jojo (Conteng²) yang sudi terlibat dalam episod pertama rancangan ini.

Still remember about my dream to continue my studies abroad? Lately, the dream keep haunting me. hahaha! Yes, I just send my resume to a lecturer, applying the UiTM's young lecturer scheme. I hope I get it! But before that, I have to go trough a series of interviews. Woah! I'm apllying to be a graphic lecturer under the Organizational Communication course, (ya daa ya daa. I know its sound b-o-r-i-n-g! haha!) But at least I still can pursue my study in a course that I like or at least good at it! huhu!

.

I dont know... but I really want to continue my study outside of Malaysia. I want to experience the "study oversea" thingy. So, I have to study really hard so that my cgpa remain in the good levels. hahaha!

.

Do you guys watch American Idol? OMG! I'm so in love with the voice of this 2 person- Michael Johns and David Archuleta. I fall in love with Michael's voices when the first time i heard his voice singing Bohemian Rhapsody. What a voice! I really gasp when the first time I heard it! wow! i hope he will win the idol title.

.

David on the other hand is great too1 He's 17th but his voices is damn matured! I'm impressed. I just youtube him and Oh hell! I totally fall in love with his voice! How I wish I can vote for both of them! Hahaha!

Hai! Long time no see huh! Hahaha! My life is quite busy at this moment. Lots of stuff gotta do. Haish!

Yes, i just got back from Bangkok! I love it! Totally a shopping heaven for me. Lots of cool shirt, bags and shoes to buy there. Pity me, I didn't brought much money to spend. My first impression of Bangkok is, it is like a big city of Jalan Chow Kit and Pudu. The city is more hectic, dark and the traffic are bad!

I love the BTS skytrain and MRT so much! (Macam LRT la) It's faster, have wider space inside and clean. The route also is not confusing at all. Best way to travel in the city. I went to several shopping venues like Siam Square, Centre Siam, MBK, Chatucak, Suan Lum Night Market and several others. All are my favourite!

Chatucak is like the big market that sold lots of cool stuff. Lots of young artist sells their own merchandise like shirts, shoes and bags. The thai's teenagers are so damn creative. the fashion is totally more forward than Malaysia. we should be ashame! hahaha!

My eyes were totally pop-out when arrived in centre Siam. Totaly cool Mall. The pop-art culture is spread trough the entire mall. From the lift to the toilet, everything was paint with totally creative and up to date pop-art! If I live in Bangkok, this will my favourite place to hang out with friends.

Thai people are very friendly and helpful. But most of them did not speak english. So it is a little to hard to communicate. About the food, if you're muslim, it is hard to find food in Thailand. I ate lots of instant noodle, bread and ice cream there.

But the most exiting moments of my journey to Bangkok is the train from Butterworth to Bangkok vice versa. In the train, I got the opportunity to mingles around with other backpackers. If you want to travel to Bangkok by train, mind this- the lower bed is far more better than the upper bed. hahaha!

I’m a big fan of Aidit Alfian. That is one of the reasons why I actually bought this album at the first place. I’m just in love with Aidit’s music. He’s great and very creative and also visionary.

Forget about my love to Aidit’s music for a while, let’s talk about this album. Must remember, this is only an opinion from a loyal listener of local music. Hahaha! I’ll try my best not to be so judgmental or bias.

The 1st single “kau atau aku” a.k.a Main tarik tali is a hit! I never actually like this song for the first few time hearing it. But today, I love it! The popular song in the radio wave at this moment, “Kalis Rindu” is a very fun song. I like the way Elyana sang the song. Macam ala-ala malas nak nyanyi. A very creative song and can give impact to our local music scene. It’s different and not typical Malay-pop song. I love the lyric too!

Other song by Aidit is Molek, Kasih berkalih tuju, Bukannya satelit, and Syukur kusedar. What can I say; I love all Aidit’s songs in this album. Wow! Huhuhu! Molek is my current favorite! It’s cheeky and fun. The melody is fun!! The pre chorus and chorus are extremely fun to sing-along!

Bukan Satelit is a fresh-air of ballad song in Malaysia. I like the part “Jangan begitu…, siksa dirimu…” Cool! The lyric by Ad Samad is kinda weird but very creative. Salut! Syukur kusedar is another great ballad song in this album. It is love at the first hear for me! Hahaha! Not like typical or cliché ballad song that Elyana always sang before, especially in her debut and 2nd album. It has the scary melody that makes me nervous or easily said, meremang bulu roma! C’est Genial!

The new version of Niat (Patrick Khamis) is over my expectation. The new arrangement is edgier and has rocks elements. Its reminds me of the arrangements by Anto Hoed. Wow!

Other songs that are included in this album are, Hati Berbentuk Cinta by Marlin/Loloq (Love the lyric but sorry, I didn’t really got the melody), Ku Jadi Teman by Marlin/Ad Samad (another great and fun song), and Jambatan Mana (love it too! Haish!).

As a conclusion, this album is worth every part of my money, never a second I regretted for spending my very limited money for this album. Please give applause to everyone that was involved with this album and extra applause (plus standing ovation) to the creative Aidit Alfian, Ad Samad, Loloq, Alfa Booty and Elyana. Elyana is so lucky to have this great tem to work for her album. I envy her! Hahaha!

This is the list of song according to the most I like (1) to the least (10).

1. Syukur Kusedar *****
2. Molek *****
3. Kalis rindu *****
4. Bukannya Satelit *****
5. Kujadi Teman ****1/2
6. Niat 2008 ****1/2
7. Kau atau Aku ****
8. Jambatan mana ***
9. Kasih Berkalih Tuju ***
10. Hati Berbentuk Cinta **

Anyone that wants something new, fresh and great from the local mainstream music scene should buy this album. Great! Congrats!

Overall: ****1/2!!!!

P/s: This article is written before I got the news of Loloq's sad demise. He past away today, around noon. This is truly a big lost for our music industry. What a waste of talent! He’s such an inspiration. Al-Fatihah.

Last Saturday, 19th January was a very long, exciting and bizzare day for me. Lots of things happened! Lets start from the beginning of the day. okay!

.

I woke up at 10 am because I want to join my friends linn and pijan go to a singing competition at MBSA office. its just for fun la. Around 10.15 pijan arrived at my house and linn picked both of us around 10.35 am. then, we fly to MBSA. At the office, we try to find the venue for the audition but it is so confunsing till we sesat about 1/2 hour. hahaha. its such a big place!

.

Arriving at the audition's place, we are suprised because there were only us. no one interested to join that competition i guessed. Linn sang 'aku bukan untukmu' by Rossa beautifully (as usual), Pijan sang 'kau pergi jua' by adam Ahmad soulfully (as usually) and i sing 'seribu tahun' by Imran Ajmain. everything go well and we were asked to go back home adn they will informed us by phone if we accepted for the next round.

.

After singing at MBSA, we went for lunch at Sek9. I told pijan and linn about the clearance stock sale at Reject shop at jaya sek14 Pj. we decided to check out the sale. my friend syafin and her new friend joined us.

.

I bought 6 boxers! It's really cheap. RM6. Usually around 9.90. hahaha. Then we decided to check out the youth fest at PWTC. tambahan budak-budak renjers ramai kat sana. (Pijan is one of them). On the way to PWTC plak jam gila! bengang siot!

.

While we're getting bored in the car, i got a phone call from my housemate, Irwan, the conversation goes like this....

.

Irwan: Ared,,,awak katne?

Me: On d way to PWTC. knp?

Irwan: Camne nyanyi td? ok?

me: Ok-la.

Irwan: mmm....takde, saya nk tanya ni. mana laptop awk?

me: kat tempat biase la. tepi tilam. ada? nk pinjam amk la.

Irwan: takde pun. awak ada sorok kat mana2 tak?

me: tak lah. cubalah tgk kalo2 ada kat bawah bantal.

Irwan: mmmm... takdelah.

Me: eh?!!!

Irwan: Ared,,, saya rasa kan....

Me: what?

Irwan: saya rasa kan,,,, umah kita kena masuk. laptop awak kena curi.

Me:ASTAGA! is this for real? OMG!

Irwan: ya...

Me: apa lagi yg hilang?

Irwan: Video cam saya.

.

.

that is the coversation that struck me! Im so sad! my laptop hilang!!!!!!!

So sad!

my steps to pwtc was slow then. My happy mood was totally out of me. tapi, tuhan itu maha adil dan penyayang. when he takes something from you, he gives something else. I was happy when i got a ticket to watch Nidji at RUUM. Im a big fan of Nidji kan...

p/s: i bought the pagoda shirt by fahmi reza (10 tahun sebelum merdeka-cam gambar kat atas)

It’s a new semester and I’m a senior! Hahaha! I’m in my final semester. Hooray! Finally all the hard work comes to its final period of time. But one thing for sure, I’ll miss all the memories of life as a university’s student.

I’ll be going to Bangkok on the 6th of February and I can’t wait to go. Tak sabar! Huhuhu! It’s been along time I’m fasting from shopping since I got my ptptn. Hahaha. So memang nk borong habis kat Bangkok la! I’ll go to Bangkok with my friends Ica n Syaqila and their friends. Naik tren lagi tau! memang keje gila! tapi disebabkan kami ni berangan-angan nk bercuti "backpacker's style" kena redah jugak lah! huhuhu...

p/s: Just listen to Blake Lewis’s album – A.D.D. It’s a superb album!!! Love it so much!
