Jamal @ Istana Budaya

Hi all … lama tak menambah ….

Dapat peluang tengok Jamal semalam di Istana Budaya untuk debut performance beliau. 1st nite special la sikit sebab ada jemputan khas VIP dan ada M Nasir dan Adibah Noor, dan S Atan sebagai konduktor jemputan.

60 piece National Symphony Orchestra yang mengiringi so of course lah music nya best.

Overall bagus giler sebab the range of lagu sangat interesting. Selain lagu wajib macam Ghazal Untuk Rabiah (duet M Nasir) yang memang saaaangat menakjubkan (kalah AIM) , Kekasih Awal dan Akhir, Seroja (piono solo saje) dan Gadis Melayu; lagu unexpected macam Scorpion’s Still Loving You (orchestral version) saaaangat le bagus.

Macam biasa masa some lagu Jamal ada fudge the lyrics (masa lagu favourite saya Penghujung Rindu umpamanya), tetapi peminat dah expect dan tak kisah dengan itu. Vocal power memang tak ada tanding. Frasa lirik bila keluar aje meremang bulu roma. Gema seuara Jamal memang tak ada tolok banding nya. Walaupun teran ke apa ke but the soul in the music tu sangat tinggi dan menakjubkan.

Kalau ada peluang pergi la tengok … mungkin susah nak dapat tiket but insyaAllah ada lagi kot.

Better Crooked or Better None

Salam all,

Just found out that Malaysian Govt have decided NOT to build or even discuss building the bridge to replace causeway coz of sensitivities etc. This is a personal opinion but I hope that this does not mean that Malaysia is kow towing to Singapore insistence not to build even though there is strong case (on Malaysia side anyway) to build one.

Maybe this is a ploy to get back Singapore to discuss as they need our sands and airspace more than we need the bridge? who knows.

I am praying that our PM is being guided to make the right decision as I dont want us to give up the opportunity to do right thing for the country simply because we are forced to capitulate. Be strong YAB PM and may Allah guide your decision and provide you the strength to do the right thing.

Some say why not demolish our side and let them keep their "nostalgic" side ... Previously I didn't agree ... now ... I dont mind having crooked bridge ... betther than not having one at all. At least for those yang dah sampai selat Teberau can testify ... the smell will improve and wont make you throw up.

Beaming off ...

The Kapt.

Ooo Mak lamanya tak blog

Ooo Mak lamanya tak blog….

Salams all,

It has been ages since I managed to put finger on keyboard to blog. Not that not a lot have been happening but frankly running ragged a bit. Have been averaging  27 meetings a week for 3 straight weeks and reallly darn tired.

Just want to share sumthing. I went for this training by the company I work with and it’s very interesting. But you know lah with training by this type of experiential training … it’s sooo darn interesting but I CANT TELL you about it, coz it would just ruin the experience for you when you go through it. And here I am so incredibly enthusiastic about the whole thing but cant tell anyone about it. But I am going to share my thoughts about it without going into specifics.

At 1st I naturally though about this is another on of those training where they pumped your spirits up so that you work harder for the company this year. Yes, sure that’s what they do as well. But I guess, I have to put in something extra so that what I get is more than just working for the company more this year (that’ll happen anyway). It’s more about how I view myself … I feel better about me than I ever did before. One of the things I found that even though I sound confident, I am not. That’s coz I don’t believe in what I can do …. By believing I actually CAN. BIIIIG Difference to me.

I also learned a couple of interesting stuff BUT I CANT SHARE ! Dang. But ONE THING, if someone comes up to ask you to attend an EXPERIENTIAL type training, GO! Don’t care wether banyak kerja or what. Just go … you wont regret it.

Now I am back to my regualr 25++ meetings a week … but don’t feel too bad about it. In fact in some occasion actually feel great coming in and coming out of the meetings.

Give yourself some training time … don’t keep delaying it … might regret it.

Adios muchachos…

Man from UNCLE

Man,

I just saw the new show on NTV7 ... Seekers ... pretty okay premise about ghost hunting as obviously most people like to get thrills on these horror stuff. But dang it ... the show is irritating. Mostly the guy who is the host, nicknamed UNCLE is really irritating. Bossy and know it all type that you would just like to &*&*^%$ his (*(*&.

C'mon lah NTV 7 .. tak kan macam ini pun nak masuk TV. Dah lah irritating, the format of the show pulak tu macam nak saja2 takut kan orang. Laki yang jadi volunteer tu ... , buat malu lelaki aje. Ada ke tengok anjing malam-malam pun terketar dan terjerit. Yang perempuan tu 2 kali tengok anjing lalu boleh cool lagi. And guys .... its only a DOG (or 2 DOGS).

I also heard that the UNCLE questioned Datuk Fadhilah Kamsah punya keislaman sebab kata "hantu yang selalu nampak Hantu". Elemen tahyul is always suspect and can cause kegelinciran akidah. Itu yang takut bila menyangkakan ada yang lain berkuasa tu...

I hope the show gets cancelled coz it's one show we can do without.

BTW Thurday Nite Live (TNL) with Harith looks promising.

MC 2 minggu

Salam all

Fell down an open drain (sebab orang ambil manhole cover) dekat rumah kosong di Seksyen 8, Shah Alam. slight fracture to my last bone in the spine. So havcent been posting for a long time. Sebab nak buka computer kena baring macam Cleopatra pulak.

Happy New Year. May all of your dreams but one become a realiti (one so that you will be able to keep on hoping to achieve... otherwise mati)

Nothing much because spent most of my days in bed.

back to work... urghh
