AJL is here again with it's 27th edition. This year's theme is Gabungan Seni dan Musik or is it Ekspresi Seni. The website state Gabungan Seni dan Musik, the host said Ekpresi Seni. As promised by the production team behind the ere w('anugerah berprestij') show, the theme will allow lots of creativity in the artists' performances as well as the grahic display to be used thru out the night. We'll see..hmm
Opening - Mek Sah kuar nyanyi Bunga-Bunga Cinta juara tahun 2003. The graphics had already started with Mek Sah standing in front what appears to be a haunted house from a cartoon/animated film. And I suppose the reason why she is wearing white, is so that they could flash more 'graphics' on her.. started
with obor-obor motif.. then when the chorus kicks in.. yes you guest it.. daun-daun berguguran.. cumanya.. kat Malaysia ni takde mapple leave.. tapi daun yang gugur tu daun mapple leave. Macam mana tu? Ok lah di maapkan sebab mana pulak nak cari motif daun jambu ke.. daun pisang ye tak?
Next, Ziana Zain. Yeay. But then, she's in a 80s MTV music video singing a song that I don't know. I would have forgiven her if she sang anyone of her classic :(
Ziana was followed by Faizal Tahir with Anti Gravity.. hence a space ship projected behind him, complete with some dude floating in space. It could be him, but at this point I don't give a rat's ass. It looks errmmm amatuerish? And then I lift my head and take a look again at Faizal Tahir. Perhaps he's staying in Bandar Sri Permaisuri that do not have water for the pass 8 days.. muka macam tak mandi.
Opps... that concluded the opening. What just happened? I'm not at all pumped up? Here comes the host... they introduced the songs.. with some I dunno.. let's call it 3D effect? That.. was quite entertaining. The ombak.. the pelangi.. the bintang... but they could do with lesser stuff in the background.
Perhaps just the two of them, white background and the effect.
Let's move on to the performances.
1. Ombak Rindu - Adira & Hafiz
Komposer : Nurzaidi Rahman
Penulis Lirik : Nurzaidi Rahman
How was it? - I didn't watch Ombak Rindu, neither a fan of Aaron Aziz. So Whatever monolugue he was rambling left me bemused.But the fans seems to love it.The stage lit up with Adira hidden somewhere in the middle of ... I want to say a coral reef? But then after there's more light... and the smoke clears up, rupanya dia duduk celah2 bunga. Hafiz pulak diri atas kotak kot? Let's not even discuss what was The songs is nice.. I thot both of them did well..all is not lost... but wait... here comes Haron again. On stage. To carry away Adira. Kenapa Hafiz tak boleh angkat?
2. Patah Seribu - Shila Amzah
Komposer : Shila Amzah
Penulis Lirik : Shila Amza
How was it? - Ada monologue jugak. It's not necessary. Somehow, I might have mistunderstood this.... but macam dia kata bila nak mati nanti ada orang akan call? Erk... I don't really like her baju. But whatever. I thot her voice is brilliant. Though her concentration might have been messed up with the monologue. The music arrangement... maybe the original sounds better. Ohh.. masih ada asap2 atas stage. Ni lebih yang performance tadi ke? I thot the backdrop looks good though. Good choice of graphic.
3. Simetri - Hazama & Amy Search
Komposer : Audi Mok
Penulis Lirik : Firdaus
How was it? - I'm not a fan of this song at all. I think there are better songs out there. Kuar asap lagi. OK.. ni macam metal tapi rambut macam rasta? OK, let's stick with the song and the performance. Ermmm.. still not a fan. OOwwwwwwwwowww.. Eh wait.. is that Edrie Hashim with the fab looking hair on guitar?
That hair is definitely *swoon* factor. Lama pulak lagu ni.. I need nourishment STAT!
4. Idola - Azlan & The Typewriter
Komposer : Audi Mok
Penulis Lirik : Azlan
How was it? I thot the voice and the music were superb. Best Vocal so far. So I take that this is Phantom of the Opera theme. Azlan and the band tu smart la jugak. Yang backup singer macam mime tu ada sket ganguan perasaan sebab ada certain tu aku tengok macam Amish pun ada. Hahahaha.
5.Pelangi Senja - Stacy
Komposer : Taja
Penulis Lirik : Tun Teja
How was it? - Errmmm... Ok, I love the song. I love the video clip. I love Stacy. But let's be honest, the performance were a bit here and there. I like the idea of them bringing the kayu bakau pier on the stage. Macam video clip la kan. Aku ganguan perasaan dengan dancer yang nak bawak train of materials kat baju Stacy tu. I think it's disturbing her... then the music were too loud. And the backup singer sounds odd. I think the hair and dress for stacy is wrong. Arghhh whyyyyy.... but I have to say this. I admire her determination... she wants it bad. All the best Stacy. I lobes u no matter what.
6.Lagu - Bedroom Sanctuary
Komposer : Bo Amir Iqram
Penulis Lirik : Bo Amir Iqram
How was it? - Ok la. I appreciate the simplicity of the performance and the singer sticking to originality. Sempoi. And the gimik pun boleh la di maapkan. Entertaining.. but maybe not going to win anything. Walau apa pun, good job bro!
7. Tanpamu - Amir Jahari
Komposer : Amir Jahari
Penulis Lirik : Amir Jahari
How was it? - I read somewhere that the 'entourage' for this performance will be the biggest and kecoh in this AJL. Hmm... yang menepuk ni aku rasa mcm salah key. Yang lain tu ok la. I think he should just go with the 'stompers'.... dah kecoh sangat aku tak dengar dia nyanyi. And kenapa dia aje yang kaler-kaler muka. Apa ke maknanya? If aku tutup mata, the music arrangement is quiet good actually.
8. Teman Pengganti - Black & Malique (RJ)
Komposer : Malique
Penulis Lirik : Malique
How was it? - Ok openingnya... aku sudah terpukau...Pastu Black appeared from the turning platform. Nice... Then the wrapper who looks like a representative from MIC appeared and rapping out. Ok lagi... then things turns into circle. Hahahah I think the timing for the platform is a bit off. So bila part Rap,orangnya ngadap belakang. Bila part nyanyi orangnya kat belakang. Aku gelak gila. Nevertheless the song and the performance is good. I think the song should win something.
9. Terukir Di Bintang - Yuna (Aizat)
Komposer : Yuna
Penulis Lirik : Yuna
How was it? - Hahahahhaha I lobes this one. I'm not really a fan of Yuna nor Aizat. But I thot Aizat did a great job. Misai dia tu betul ke tak? Macam misai gatai.. but it suits the character i suppose. The expression on his face is priceless. Hahahahah.. as if to say.. "aku ni nyanyi lagu orang je". Hahahah. The performance was sweet. I vote this one wins best performance!
10. Ku Akui - Hafiz
Komposer : Ajai
Penulis Lirik : Ajai
How was it? - Honestly aku tak pernah dengar lagu ni. But overall, I thot the performance was good. Hafiz's voice was superb. And the music accompanying him was brilliant and not over the top. Erkk.. maybe this could win something as well? Best Vocal at least.
11. Andai Ku Bercinta Lagi - Mojo
Komposer : Edry Abdul Halim
Penulis Lirik : Edry Abdul Halim
How was it? - What can I say about a sudden resurgance of the French Revolution on the stage? Lagu ok la.. suara pun boleh la.. tapi costume dari kain langsir tu and Ms Marsha yg dah mcm bride/ Mary Antoinette... aku mcm blur batak kejap. Oh ada Edry tadi. Tak perasan.
12. Anak Kampung Jimmy Palikat & One Nation Emcee
Komposer : Jimmy Palikat
Penulis Lirik : Jimmy Palikat
How was it? - Sekampung bah, naik pentas. Takde kuda aje. I lobes the kebaya worn by Mimi at the begining. Aku memang suka lagu ni. I think the lyric to this song is honest and sincere. Whatever happens, kudos to Jimmy Palikat and One Nation Emcee. Though there's a lot of people on stage, everything works well. I would suggest to the tourism board to use this performance to promo Visit Malaysia Year 2014!
Interlude - Rock Never Dies.
Rock Legend with Guitar Heroes.Sessi goreng keropok lekor berlarutan selama 5 minit....tahan sebab tunjuk Edrie Hashim dengan rambut lawa. Another 5 minutes... sabarrr (mcm sabar aku tunggu air 8 hari dah takde)...
Rahmad Mega with Bayangan Gurauan. Hoo... here comes Rempit Me. Heheh.
Aris Ariwatan with Lamunan Terhenti... OMGGGGGGG Lagu wajib karaoke. Tapi awat mcm off je dia nyanyi. Apa ni abang? Frust akak uols. Apa pun, I lobes this song to death. Hahahahah.... lalu kau menolak (pause)... berbalas renungan... takde yang lagi best dari emo nyanyi part ni kat RedBox.
Joey of BPR with Seribu Tahun Tak Akan Mungkin .....wheeeee suara bro ni best siut. Lepak aje. Ni pun lagu fav akak.
KE TEPI SEMUA.. this is how it should be done: Ramli Sarip! Kamalia... WOWWEEEEE... I think Ramli Sarip has single handedly redeemed the night. Suara power gila.
And now the result...(who cares.. they had me at ..Tiba-tiba langkahku terhenti... tadi)
Best Performance - Teman Pengganti - Black & RJ
Best Vocal - Ku Akui - Hafiz (lagi... 2 tahun berturut-turut...) well done Hafiz.
3rd Place - Ku Akui - Ajai/ Hafiz
2nd Place - IDOLA - Audi Mok / Azlan and The Typewriter.
Juara Lagu ke 27...(drum roll please..): HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA. Terukir Bintang - Yuna.
Please appreciate the irony here: Yuna has not won.. but when she's not around, her song won. hahah Aizat menang dengan misai gatai.
Good night all!

Train Live in KL, 16th June 2012 at KL Live
It had never occurred to me that I will get to listen to Drops of Jupiter ...live! Well, Train came to KL. Yipeeeeeeeeeee. It will be a small event I guess, since it will at KL Live. Lagi small lagi bagus, senang nak tengok semua orang. But then, semua standing aje la pulak. Can I survive this?
Nak tak nak kena la survive kan. Heheh so it was a Saturday. Nak brave the traffic satu hal lagi. Tapi nasib jalan clear. We parked at the next building to KL Live.. LifeCenter.. whatever you call it. Kejap aje dah penuh parking. Nak keluar dari parking kena naik tangga pulak. Kugagahi jua. Nak masuk KL Live.. tangga lagi. Sabar je la..
Right, we're in. Lepak kat belakang aje. Malas la nak berasak2 kat depan. Susah jugak standing only ni. Sebab if terstuck belakang orang yang tinggi, dah tak nampak.
On cue, Train took the stage. And wow the crowd. Nampaknya semua orang tahu lagu-lagu depa, kecuali aku (as usual). Marry Me was practically sung by the crowd. Heheheh. In between the set, ada pulak si Pat baling free t-shirt pulak to the crowd. Unfortunately we are too far nak berebut. And he was very sporting as well... siap ambik some phone from the front row, and took a shot of himself and the crowd. Sape yang dapat tu, mesti tak tido malam ni.
According to Pat, Train don't do encore. Tak sempat aku nak beli twisties hehehe. Here comes the moment that we have been waiting for. Drops of Jupiter. PERGHHHHHHHHH. best gila. And before you know it. Dah habis dah. The concert was short but it's definitely not a drive by ;). At the end of the nite, Train was giving out a guitar that was Pat was using while performing... Whhhhaaaattttttt????? And the band had put their signature on it... WHhhhhaaaatttttttttttttttttttttttt. Andddd... he gave it to... (wait for it...) ... ME! Whhhaaaaattttttttttttt? Hahahhah of course not. Pat choose a little girl from somewhere in the front row. Adik sape la tu. Dik kalau kau tak nak guitar tu bagi akak dik.
I wonder adik.. tu dah pandai main ke tak guitar tu eh?
p/s: ada gambar from the concert but it's in my phone..tunggu la lagi sepuluh tahun aku nak download and post it here..

Cranberries Live in KL - 4th April, 2012 - Stadium Negara
Mula-mula, memang tak minat sangat nak pergi. Tapi bila Kay ajak, aku game je la kan. Tak la tahu sangat lagu-lagu depa ni. Kononnya nak tengok satu konsert satu bulan. Beginilah cita-cita orang yang tiada hala tuju hidup.
Anyway, bila dengar the daily promo, eh rupanya, banyak jugak lagu yang aku tahu ek. So dengan semangat waja, download la segala mak nenek lagu depa and pasang hari-hari on the way to work. I think my favorite is Animal Instinct.
Come the night of the concert. Dah la Wednesday. Tak ingat aku keje ke tak pun hari tu. But I think the weather was ok, so hopefully tak jam la. Kay came over and drove both of us to stadium Negara. Traffic was clear. But now.. mana pulak nak park ni. Tempat parking haram sebelah stadium dah ada construction pulak. Then we realize, eh depan stadium ni ada sekolah. Maybe we can ask the Pak Guard to let us park inside. Success! Dia bagi masuk tapi kena RM10. Which I don't mind at all. Dah la dapat parking elok, ada guard plak and hanya sekangkang kera aje dari entrance. Tak payah susah-susah. Unlike most asshole yang kononnya drive VIP ke hape tah yang nak park jugak dalam stadium tu kalau boleh. Pastu nyusahkan rakyat marhain lain nak beli burger. Hahahah.
As usual aku memang benci nak kena check bag la apa la bila nak masuk. So seboleh-boleh nak makan jugak burger ke air ke apa semua bagi habis. Haha nasib tak tercekik. Aku rasa Kay berjaya seludup air ke masuk. Camera plak, as usual aku masuk dlm kocek rahsia hehehe.
The stadium was packed. Nasib tak panas. We sat to the right of the stage kot. Ok la jauh dari orang-orang. Duduk rapat nanti kang rimas. Tak sangka pulak ada stage for VIP ke royalties ke. I dunno why they bother to come and watch. Sebab kena control ayu semuanya, walhal the crowd dah frenzy tak tentu hala.
Dim the lights, here comes Cranberries! Damn, they were good! Semua lagu layan. Aku layan sambil duduk la kan. Pastu half way, lapar pulak, beli lagi burger. Hahahah. My love affair with bugger pijak memang tak boleh nak dipisahkan.
Then finally comes the moment. ZOMBIE. Seriously, everyone sang as if their life depends on it. Aduiii... cuba suruh ngaji? But I guess, yes that was one of the best moment in any concert that I have ever been to. Yang tak tahan tu, kitaorang dok perhati, yang those tadi duduk and haram tak response to any of the songs, tetiba dah up on their feet ... menyanyi dengan penuh semangat siap dengan hand gestures, macam la dia yang tulis lagu tu. Hahahahah gamaknya, ni je kot lagu yang depa tahu. Sure pi karaoke ni la lagu wajib.
The VIP stage masih tidak menunjukkan sebarang emosi. Borrinnggg!
It was good nite out. Good music, good company, dismal burger pijak. Posing mesti posing :)

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Entah....

Avril's Black Star Tour - 18 Feb, 2012 at Stadium Merdeka
Avril Lavigne Live in KL! Not to be missed... walaupun clearly this is a teenage angst fest. Tak pedulik la.
I think we were in Johor siang tu. There was a wedding. Mujur la sempat sampai KL. Memang tak senonoh!
Petang tu hujan la pulak. Aduss mesti stadium lecak. Kensel nak pakai kasut baru. Selipar cabukku sila jalankan tugas anda. Konsert start 8.30 ke 8.00 pm tah. So sempat la nak solat dulu kat rumah. Dah siap-siap2 nak pergi, baru terperasan mana pulak ticket? Ya salam... ticket tak jumpa. LOL!
Korek punya korek, gaduh punya gaduh... finally found it in my sister's closet. Tadi bukan main dia mengaku takde pada dia. By then, dah pukul 8.30 kot. Gamble je la... lagi pun lagu2 yang starting tu tak best sangat. (Yes, dah siap check setlist ye).
So as usual any concert at Stadium Merdeka, mesti naik LRT than Monorail. And of course dalam banyak-banyak minggu, ni la minggu yang depa nak launch integrated system across the transit system. Tak boleh pulak beli ticket pergi balik. Kena beli token lain2. So to be save, masa sampai kat monorail tu kitaorang beli dah token siap2 untuk balik. Nak kena ingat plak mana token LRT mana token monorail. Arghh.. dah la dah lambat. Nasib masa sampai dah renyai2 hujan, so boleh la redah je.
We arrive dah almost 9.15 ke.. Avril pun nak balik dah. Hahahah. Tapi yang pasti, dapat la dengar dia nyanyi Wish You Were Here... Dapat la emo bila ramai-ramai nyanyi part Damn...Damn.. Damn... to be honest aku tau part tu je pun. Heheheh. Unfotunately, terlepas Sk8er Boi (notice that I'm using the 'correct' spelling..sighh).
Bila dah nak encore tu, dia bukak dah all the gate. So semua orang boleh rushing turun ke padang and grab a place front and center depan stage. Err.. termasuk la aku and kakak aku. Sekali tu tengok-tengok, padang tu gila lecak... boleh tersangkut kaki dalam selut. Gila cardio aku nak get across the field. Dah la rupanya dari bleachers tu nak naik ke padang tu ada longkang besar.. and ada pulak adegan panjat memanjat. Nak tersimpul urat perut aku.. terkejut dah la tak bersenam!
And Avril close with Complicated. Enough said... SCREAM, SHOUT and JUMP people! Memang best. Before balik sempat la ambik gambar amongst the throngs yang berpusu-pusu nak balik. According to my colleague yang berendam kat padang tu since 6pm, kasut dia dah boleh buang dah. Hahaha nasib aku datang lambat. Shot Avril semua goyang. So instead, letak la gambo perempuan yang perasan ada teenage angst ni.Hahaha

Drama Minggu Ini
Aha... kehidupan macam rollercoaster eversince Feb tahun ini. Drama upon drama tak habis lagi. Drama yang dicari, yang tak dicari semua ada. Gelak melalak terberak all roll into one. Hopefully by end of the year things will calm down. Alhamdulillah for all the good things, yang tidak, semoga menjadi lesson learnt yang tidak akan dilupakan. Indeed, everything is part of the big plan :)
Somehow, I think this song describes aptly, what I felt on some of the days. Lawak pun ada.
Animal Instinct - Cranberries
Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressedAs I was having my cup of tea
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct
So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me [x2]

Whitney Houston - 1963 - 2012
Whitney had a slew of hit records. I dunno why, but when the news of her death was out yesterday, the first song that I wanted to listen to was from her My Love is Your Love album. Perhaps this album was out when I was at college and I had lots of time to listen to it. Anyhoo, I thot this is one of the coolest song of that came out late 90/ early 2000 when everyone's writing was all about girl power and angst against their ex, boyfriend etc. The first verse always had me in stiches. If you had the time, do check the video clip in youtube for this song. . It was the new Whitney then. Very uber badass I must say. Don't look up the remix/club version though, yucks.
Ms Houston, you are indeed an icon. So this is: It's Not Right But It's Okay (which she won Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at 2000 Grammys)
It's Not Right, But It's Okay
Friday night you and your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out,but you came home around three
If six of ya'll went out then four of you were really cheap
'Cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy
I'm packing bags so you can leave town for a week
The phone rings then you look at me (why'd you turn and look at me)
Said it was one of your friends
Down on 54th street boy
So why did 213 show up on your caller ID
I've been through all this before
So how could you think
That I would stand around and take some more
Things are gonna change
Cause I won't be a fool anymore
That's why you have to leave
So don't turn around to see my face
There's no more tears left here for you to see
Was it really worth you going out like that - tell me
See I'm moving on and I refuse to turn back
See all of this time I thought I had somebody down for Whitney
It turns out you were making a fool of me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy
It's not right but it's okay - [It's not right - so okay baby]
I'm gonna make it anyway [I can pay my own rent]
Pack your bags up and leave [pay my liability - take care of my babies]
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway [get up and leave]
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy
It's not right but it's okay [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
I'm gonna make it anyway [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
Pack your bags up and leave [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
I'm gonna make it anyway [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
Close the door behind you [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy [there's no more tears left here for you to see]
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

Bagaimana pun jua....
AJL 26 - 2012
Opening
Act 1 - Ahvang Jamal with Alleycat's Senandung Semalam. Terpempan akak. Terpempan uols. Leather pants is totally forgiven. Guruh petir tu ada sedikit kureng. Tapi sebab suara dia best again all is forgiven. Kenapa la aku tak dapat ticket nak tengok kat Bukit Jalil sigh
Act 2 - Ahvang Awie pulak. Sepatah haram aku tak tahu lagu ni. Suka hati kau lah labu. Rambut kau tetao ganguan perasaan. Dah hujan pulak sekarang. Hebat pyro ke lampu ke apa benda ni. Company mana buat ni agaknya.Boleh la hire kalau nak buat birthday party sendiri lepas ni theme filem Jodie Foster & Bill Paxton - Twister.
Act 3 - Akak Sheila yang nampak kurus. Damn. Menyanyi lagu cari makan sejak 20 tahun. Err.... boleh tak panggil Ahvang Jamal lagi sekali. Dancers as usual nyemak aje.
Maka keluarlah MC berdua. (Please lah berdua aje) Baju yg gegirl cantik. Yg boboi pakai tie ke tuala kesat pinggan kat dapur tu? Mintak mahap saya tak paham sangat konsepnya. Err butang kat kot pun macam terlebih je. Right skang cue explanation about the night's theme - Air. Aku dengar macam white noise aje... the conclusion that I got? Saya nak buang AIR mendengarnya, sambil mengalirkan AIR mata?
1. Wanita Seluruh Dunia - Projek Pistol:
Hello ahvang2 on the trumpet, trombone and saxophone. Rambut Edrie tetap terbaik (masih tak tahu saloon mana dia pergi). Arrangement and the vocal surprisingly sedap. Cool idea adding in the brass section. Good job! If the lyrics have more depth, perhaps the song will have more substance and might stand a chance to win something tonight.
MC - bla bla bla bla bla deblab lalala yada yada yoya yoya ....Pistol Air. Main tembak-tembak Tah amenda.
2. Sedetik Lebih - Edry Halim/ Jac
Ok nothing beats Ah Vang Nuar I suppose. OK focus. Baju Jac cantik. Sweet color. Dia memang sentiasa pandai pilih what looks good on her. Anyhoo, I thot her voice was too edgy for the song. SO feeling to ada lari sket. Nevertheless, I think she did a very good job considering ni bukan lagu dia kan.
MC - bla bla bla super sub yada yada yada.. penyanyi yang digantikan. You are touching me. Nonsense.
3. Kekanda Adinda - Monoloque/ Atilia:
Ada makcik joget lambak...opps tu penyanyinya. Ok this is too busy. Semua benda nak letak. Nak main guitar tapi pakai kain pelikat. Nak letak angklong tapi ada drummer boy dari sekolah mana ni. This reminds me of the yearly inter school koir and band competition. Cuma aku tak nampak orang pegang recorder dengan castanette aje. Serious macam kelas muzik genderang sekolah rendah. I'm not progressive? Thank god. Next!
MC - pot pet pot pet pot pet.. Depa ni kena kejar train ke apa. Asyik tersyasyul aje.
4. Gadis Semasa - Yuna:
Aku memang tak tau lagu ni. So the first 5 minutes tu macam ... apakah ini? Nak nyanyi ke tak ni? Hmmm.. I can't decide whether I'm liking or dissing this song. There are parts of the vocal that shows some potential and exude coolness. What I can decide though.. is that I'm convinced that I am distrubed and keep on thinking how does one talk to the person sitting next to them with the head gear? Hoodie? On their head... hmmm. Eh dah habis pun lagunya. Good. But what the heck do I know. Suppose if Pharell Williams is producing your song, you must have some fierce music chops.
5. Kalau Berpacaran - Sohaimi Mior Hassan, Altimet & Ana Rafali:
Alamak, ada kedai-kedai kopi pulak. Ok jangan tengok gegirl nyanyi. Gediks la pulak (I guess the song calls for it). Dengar aje. Ok setan naik motor ye. I think this song is nice. They do not need the actors and the surrounding scene. But I thot Ana Rafali sitting amongst the dancers at the table, cool jugak. Tak perasan pun dia.
MC - tepuk amai-amai...belalang kupu-kupu.. tepuk biar ramai.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Oh they were talking about something else? Sounds the same aje.
6. Cinta Muka Buku - Najwa Latif/ Ika Latif:
The video clips of all of the youtube cover version was a good idea. The couple berlakon-berlakon dating not a good idea. The chelo (errr.. tapi tak sedap) not a good idea. Pink is sweet, the dress is not. But against all odds, 16 year old performing for the first time at AJL, I still salute you. There maybe some jitters, but she still hold her own court. A for effort.
Anugerah Juara Mobile - err ye la buat la apa-apa yang patut.
7. Karma - Faizal Tahir:
Standy for over dramatize and flair. Err.... boleh tak terbosan kejap? Hmm esok rasa macam nak pakai suit kaler purple la pergi keje. Macam Barney? All I can say.. the scarf is nice. Hmm why is there no goreng pisang when I need one? Ohhhhh ada kacang pagoda.......BRB.
MC - ada kebakaran? Piano terbakar. Wow.. tak berminatnya.
8. Kisah Hati - Alyah:
Charlie Chaplin? Music Box? Not bad... kudos for idea (the music box..not the charlie impersonator). Tapinya...Tangan tak penat ke? Tak pening ke? I thot the stage looks nice. And her vocal and music sounds good. Baju pun cantik. One thing that I like about this performance is that, dia kuar sorang-sorang aje. OH damnnnnnn spoke too soon. Tu dia Hero Malaya Ah Vang Remi la pulak...sighhhhhhhhh
9. Sungai Lui - Aizat:
Ok bunyi akuarium sape pulak ni. Kenapa dia pakai seluar hijau? Errr... ada sand art pulak. Nice! Tapi if win best performance, mamat sand art ni la patut dapat duit. Hehehe As I said before the song is a great song. But there are better songs out there. So All the Best Aizat.
Australia Open break sat... alaaaa tak sukanya this si Joko menang. Sian Nadal.
10. Penakut - Yuna:
Selamat datang ke pameran lampu over stock dari China. Seriously? Seriously? Bila aku dengar.. ini tidak adil ... ini tidak adil, rasa macam pening plak. At least the arrangement is better than her first song I think. Whatever la.
MC - Sape buat rambut gegirl ni? Le buroks.
11. Awan Nano - M Nasir/ Hafiz:
Silence please! Herman Tino memang terbaek. Best opening. Oh pakai t-shirt kodi dengan track bottom je. Cayalah. The vocals was superb. But I don't really feel the arrangements 3/4 of the song tapi ok la. Ok aku memang kata Herman Tino kena datang. But I would've choregorafed it differently. Aku rasa Hafiz aje yang nyanyi with feel. This one deserve best vocal, best performance and best song. Ambik kau!
12. Seribu Sesalan - Ning, Jac, Shila Amzah:
Standby, semua nak tunjuk vocal chops masing-masing. Err apsal sorang lagi pakai kaler lain? Awwww... I think the night already peaked with Hafiz. So whatever left is not relevant dah. But still this is a good song. And the 3 ladies did a good job indeed. Ok the forums are buzzing about people's ass. Hahah tak senonoh!
Closing:
Tribute to Sudirman by Black, Azlan & Hazama. Soalan, sekarang ni seluar kaler hijau is in ye? Ok, seluar hijau, scarf purple tadi, julian lenon glasses..oh ott hoodie. Right.Hmmm
The music arrangements by Ramli MS, tak perlu dipersoalkan la. I thot it's unique. Tapi yang tengah terkinja-kinja atas stage ni apa ke halnya? CHow Kit Road.. Chow Kit Road.. my fav masa kecik-kecik. Hehehe. Actually terasa macam disconnected pulak. Apasal audience ni refer liriks? Takkan tak tau lagu ni? Mana kacang tadi...BRB.
The AWARD goes to
Best Performance - Alyah (Kisah Hati) - Nice!
Best Vocal - Hafiz (Awan Nano) - Yeayyyyyyy! Alamak tak tukar baju ke?
3rd Place - Karma - Faizal Tahir & Audi Mok
2nd Place - Beribu Sesalan - 3 Suara. OK please be graceful people. Tergolek sudah...
Best Song - Awan Nano - M Nasir/ Budi Hikayat/ Hafiz - Yezaaaaaaaa. Hahahahah M Nasir's speech memang best. And I think a big credit goes to Budi sebab aku rasa lirik lagu ni memang best.
T-shirt, track bot and Herman Tino Rawksssssss!
Congratulations! And Good Nite!
Opening
Act 1 - Ahvang Jamal with Alleycat's Senandung Semalam. Terpempan akak. Terpempan uols. Leather pants is totally forgiven. Guruh petir tu ada sedikit kureng. Tapi sebab suara dia best again all is forgiven. Kenapa la aku tak dapat ticket nak tengok kat Bukit Jalil sigh
Act 2 - Ahvang Awie pulak. Sepatah haram aku tak tahu lagu ni. Suka hati kau lah labu. Rambut kau tetao ganguan perasaan. Dah hujan pulak sekarang. Hebat pyro ke lampu ke apa benda ni. Company mana buat ni agaknya.Boleh la hire kalau nak buat birthday party sendiri lepas ni theme filem Jodie Foster & Bill Paxton - Twister.
Act 3 - Akak Sheila yang nampak kurus. Damn. Menyanyi lagu cari makan sejak 20 tahun. Err.... boleh tak panggil Ahvang Jamal lagi sekali. Dancers as usual nyemak aje.
Maka keluarlah MC berdua. (Please lah berdua aje) Baju yg gegirl cantik. Yg boboi pakai tie ke tuala kesat pinggan kat dapur tu? Mintak mahap saya tak paham sangat konsepnya. Err butang kat kot pun macam terlebih je. Right skang cue explanation about the night's theme - Air. Aku dengar macam white noise aje... the conclusion that I got? Saya nak buang AIR mendengarnya, sambil mengalirkan AIR mata?
1. Wanita Seluruh Dunia - Projek Pistol:
Hello ahvang2 on the trumpet, trombone and saxophone. Rambut Edrie tetap terbaik (masih tak tahu saloon mana dia pergi). Arrangement and the vocal surprisingly sedap.

MC - bla bla bla super sub yada yada yada.. penyanyi yang digantikan. You are touching me. Nonsense.
3. Kekanda Adinda - Monoloque/ Atilia:
Ada makcik joget lambak...opps tu penyanyinya. Ok this is too busy. Semua benda nak letak. Nak main guitar tapi pakai kain pelikat. Nak letak angklong tapi ada drummer boy dari sekolah mana ni. This reminds me of the yearly inter school koir and band competition. Cuma aku tak nampak orang pegang recorder dengan castanette aje. Serious macam kelas muzik genderang sekolah rendah.

Whoa..
Punyalah busy, I almost forgot. Tomorrow is AJL 26. Sheila Majid will be performing the opening act. Yippeeeeeeee
Let's take a close look at the finalist:
1. Kalau Berpacaran oleh Shohaimi Mior Hassan/Ana Raffali/Altimet (Shohaimi Mior Hassan Shohaimi Mior Hassan / Ana Raffali / Altimet) --> A good song to start the night with
2. Karma oleh Faizal Tahir (Audi Mok/Faizal Tahir/Audi Mok/Faizal Tahir) --> Tak tau lagu ni
3. Penakut oleh Yuna (Yuna/Yuna) ---> Ini agak bosan, ini agak bosan.. eh lirik dia ini tidak adil, ini tidak adil..heheh opps.
4. Sedetik Lebih oleh Anuar Zain (Edry Abd Halim/Edry Abd Halim) ---> Aha, might win. Wish Ah Vang Nuar would sing this himself
5. Gadis Semasa oleh Yuna (Yuna/Yuna) ---> Tak tau lagu ni

8. Beribu Sesalan oleh Ning Baizura/Jaclyn Victor/Shila Amzah (Kevin Chin/Tinta) ---> Aha, might also win. Also look out for adegan sabung menyabung suara. Might turn out beautiful.. or ugly :p
9. Kekanda Adinda oleh Atilia & Monoloque (Monoloque/Monoloque) ---> Annoying.

Everytime You Go Away
Last week, me & my colleague discovered that some verses in this song indirectly represents exactly what we felt forthis particular bi-weekly meeting that everyone dreaded. Memang lawak. Either way it's a great song. I like the version in Rebound. How cute is that guy singing it at bedtime ;)
Everytime You Go Away - Hall&Oates, Paul Young and tah sape lagi
if we can't solve any problems
and why do we lose so many tears?
Oh
so you go again when the leading man appears.
Always the same theme
can't you see
We've got ev'rything going on and on and on.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Go on and go free
maybe you're too close to see.
I can feel your body move
does it mean that much to me.
I can't go on singing the same theme'cause can't you see
We've got ev'rything
baby
even though you know:
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Can't go on singing the same theme'cause baby
can't you see
We've got ev'rything going on and on and on.Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Ev'ry time
ev'ry time you go away - but I don't care -
You take a piece of me with you. Ev'ry time you go away -
Ev'ry time you go away - don't leave me all alone
And breakin' up a piece of me. Ey'ry time you go away.

Better Things
It's already a week into 2012. Still feeling uninspired. Instead of writing up that resume or getting on that cross trainer, I'm browsing thru the net, looking for a pick-me-upper song. Here's some that I like:
1. Maybe This Time (from Carbaret) - performed by Kristin Chenowith
2. Home Sweet Home - Motley Crue (but do check the one with Sponge Bob on YouTube! hahah)
3. Stop Crying Your Hear Out - Oasis
4. Time of My Life (from Dirty Dancing, Patrick Swayze can't get any cuter!) - Bille Medley and Jeniffer Warnes
5. Call It What You Want - Foster the People
6. Tonight Tonight - Hot Chelle Rae (La La La Whatever!)
7. Smile - Charlie Chaplin
My favorite is this one from the Kinks - Better Things
Here's wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the doubt and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.
Here's hoping all the days ahead
Won't be as bitter as the ones behind you.
Be an optimist instead,
And somehow happiness will find you.
Forget what happened yesterday,
I know that better things are on the way.
It's really good to see you rocking out
And having fun,
Living like you just begun.
Accept your life and what it brings.
I hope tomorrow you'll find better things.
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.
Here's wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the drudge and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.
I know you've got a lot of good things happening up ahead.
The past is gone it's all been said.
So here's to what the future brings,
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.
Here's to better things in 2012. Aminnn.
And for goodness sake, please let it be Barney and Robin's wedding!

Fix You - Coldplay
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

But Darling I'll Keep The Key... Retrolicious Oct 8, 2011
Just leave a light on for me!
And cue: Screaaaaammmmmmm.
Yes, I'm back for the Class 95 fm Retrolicious Concert. Last year was Debbie Gibson and Rick Astley. This year, featuring Human League, Belinda Carlisle and Bananarama. Wheeeee.
Lo and behold, I owned a Belinda Carlisle CD. (I believe I 'got' this from Ngantukalways who is still pissy because I went to see Belinda and she's still pondering why she didn't just come along. For the record, aku dah bagitahu dia sebulan sebelum itu ok). So the whole month, I have been driving to work listening to the CD start to end. I am ready!
As usual, we took the bus to Fort Canning. It was less than 10 minutes ride from our hotel near Bugis Juction. (More details on the trip in other post). We got a slide pack, info pack whatever you want to call it from the organizer, a few days before. Hebat tak hebat. They did learn from last year so now there's a few more entrance being put in place. We didn't want to come too early in order to avoid the long queue.
So when we arrived, yeay no queue. But still W.T.F, they had cordone off the area around the entrance. The way in, was way up the hill in the dark! Grrrrr. Apa-apa je la. Janji boleh masuk. There you go, the place is already packed! So we made our way through the crowd and decided to stand at the edge of the stairs. Then.... we notice that there's an empty spot near the so called VIP tents. We forged our way thru... and hell yes, paradise! The place is quite deserted. We get to sit near this group of people who has obviously brought a 'picnic basket' (thought it was not allowed). Keyword here is SIT! And since the place is on the top of the hill, we got the best view as well. Ho ho ho...
So guess what, all thru Human League performace, we get to lazed around on the grass ala woodstock gitu. Hahahah. Sepatah lagu pun tak tau kecuali 'don't... don't you want me?'..err no I don't
Then everyone was up on their feet for Belinda. Termasuk la aku. Yang menyanyi macam orang gila. Hey this after all, a very expensive Karaoke session. There were a few interesting groups around us. One was wearing 80s clothes that is 3 sizes too small for them. Then there's a group that can't stop taking photos. Then there's a group that was super excited to scream out the chorus to Summer Rain. Somehow they got me hooked as well
And cue: Screaaaaammmmmmm.

There you go, the place is already packed! So we made our way through the crowd and decided to stand at the edge of the stairs. Then.... we notice that there's an empty spot near the so called VIP tents. We forged our way thru... and hell yes, paradise! The place is quite deserted. We get to sit near this group of people who has obviously brought a 'picnic basket' (thought it was not allowed). Keyword here is SIT! And since the place is on the top of the hill, we got the best view as well. Ho ho ho...
So guess what, all thru Human League performace, we get to lazed around on the grass ala woodstock gitu. Hahahah. Sepatah lagu pun tak tau kecuali 'don't... don't you want me?'..err no I don't
Then everyone was up on their feet for Belinda. Termasuk la aku. Yang menyanyi macam orang gila. Hey this after all, a very expensive Karaoke session. There were a few interesting groups around us. One was wearing 80s clothes that is 3 sizes too small for them. Then there's a group that can't stop taking photos. Then there's a group that was super excited to scream out the chorus to Summer Rain. Somehow they got me hooked as well
Oh my love it's you that I dream of
Oh my love since that day
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
Doesn't matter what I do now
Doesn't matter what I say
Somwhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
Then the highlight of the show - Bananarama. But I don't really know their song except Love In The First Degree. I watched Bananarama in those 'prison' garb over and over again on MTV when I was in primary school. We left before the encore. Great that we did, coz with less people on the street, it's easier for us to grab a cab. Dah expert sket compared to last year.
Will I be back next year? We have to wait and see :)

It's Not Over Tonite - Maroon 5 in KL, 29 April 2011
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
It's official! My new favorite Maroon 5 song is Won't Go Home Without You. It used to be She Will Be Loved. I got hooked watching Kelly Preston in that video clip.
Right the concert itself...hmmm. Maybe it started off on the wrong foot with me. There was a mile long queue going into the venue. The concert should start at 9 but by 9.15 I was still outside. W.T.F? Right the stadium has at least 50 assortment of entrances including the emergency entrace and the countless window. But no, the organizer decided that it will be far more interesting to just open 2 entrance. And stationed approximately 2 people each at the entrace. 1 person to check your ticket and the other to check your bag.
Bayangkan blood pressure aku masa tu. Brother jaga pintu tu pun kena la sedas dua tembakan. "Berdua aje keje? Kenapa dua? Lain kali letak sorang ni aje. Kitaorg ni datang bukan nak tengok consert, saje suka-suka nak beratur ramai2".
Right perhaps I didn't get the memo. The concert it not start for another half an hour. Well maybe my facts and timing here are wrong, but boy it felt like eternity! Eternity bukan macam perfume. Eternity bukan macam lagu Robbie Williams. Eternity macam Infinity!
Once the concert start, dah gelap pulak. Ramai lagi yang takde seat, so kena la duduk kat tangga. Dah la steep gila seat yang murahan ni. Asal tak jatuh udah la.
Anyhoo, Maroon 5 kicked the night off with Misery and a bunch of songs that I'm not familiar with. Bangsa yang tahu chorus aje. Tapi layan tetap layan. Half way mengantuk pulak :) Ok.. I'm a fan.. but not that big fan. Okkkk... I didn't do my homework. M&M Biru mesti hangin dengan statement ni.. sebab dia nak pergi tak dapat dibenarkan oleh Ketua Warden. Heheheheh
The sound system was not that good though. Or maybe the place that I'm sitting is just not the sweet spot. But the recording that I got on my mobile wasn't that bad. Still managed to get a passable quality of recording consisting of Adam's voice, the girls next to me singing and me screaming.... to Sunday Morning.
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
I will definitely be back if Maroon 5 ever in KL again. This time, we will move like Jagger? No?
I may not make it through the night

Talented, gifted...(fulamak) Malaysian!
It started of one day, when I heard this catchy song on the radio. As usual, when we really wanted to know who sang the song, the program will cut into commercial. It happened again a few days after that.
Ini sudah tidak boleh jadi. I NEED TO KNOW WHO SANG THIS SONG. So begin my 3 day quest on the net. Usually G88gle is very kind to me. I could get all the info that I wanted within a few minutes. But this time, gagal. Ini menyebabkan saya menjadi lebih bersemangat lagi. All my lucky guesses, bombed. This is not D**fy, nor Ad3l3, nor P1x13 lott, nor Bey0nc3. No. No.
I can't remember exactly how I managed to track this down. But I suppose I poured every single inch of the radio's website to find their playlist for the month. All I can remember was that the trail brought me to a lot of blogs writing about this new Malaysian singer, who's name I have never heard before.
Malaysian. This song is barangan buatan Malaysia. OMG. I couldn't be more thrilled!
I spend the whole night reading about the singer. Downloading the songs. Watched all the video's of her on Utube. Added her on FB. Memang blown away! Rupanya she was all over the music circuit last year, in fact a whole lot years before. She had performed at F1 events, Sunbrust (that I actually went to), plenty of live gigs in KL (if they still call it that these days). She opened for Michael Buble and Babyface, for goodness sake! How could I miss all these before? (macam la aku Who cares. Good thing is, her first album is finally out. I will definitely get it (or adakah kawan-kawan saya yang baik ati nak ati nak belikan as a birthday present :P)
True that her songs may not be many Malaysian's cup of tea, tapi kata nak jadi world. And there were a lot of noise around who her father is, so that is why she could pull something like this. Whatever la. Ada ramai orang yang bapak dia have a lot of resources jugak, takde pulak anaknya produce something that I like. Ada jugak mangkuk ayun mana yang post a lot of negativities on the her first video clip. Bergaduh pulak berpage2.Sighh. Whatever lagi. I'm all about good music, especially if it's from a Malaysian.
Presenting Najwa - who I hope will keep on writing and performing crazy good songs like this one:
Got To Go – Najwa
This time I'm gonna live my life
I ain't no stepford wife
No I ain't perfect
Gonna find somebody who's worth it
And no you ain't that person
Coz i caught you constantly flirtin'
With my best friend
So I guess I'll say goodbye
I'll find me another guy
Why (why why why)
You always makin' me
Cry (cry cry cry)
No I can't stand it
No you can't be my man
It don't matter who you are,
Even if you were a star
You've got to go
(Go go go go go go)
Read my lips I'm leavin'
And no no I ain't teasin'
This time it's for real
Gotta find you another girl
Coz this one sure ain't stayin
By the time you finish what you're sayin'
I'll be gone

Ku Ke Udara Lagi
...Bersama mu kembali
Dengan rangakaian lagu-lagu
Juga pesanan
Ku sebagai penghibur
Engkau mendengar di sana
Kita saling mengharapkan
Di dalam hidup ini...
33 years in the music industry, with 33 musicians, presenting 33 songs, Francissca Peter had her first solo consert at Istana Budaya. Of course akak akan pergi tengok. And tengok I did.
As this is the first time, kasi chance la kan. Tapi a few peeves yang nak jugak aku highlight. 1. Konsert start lambat, orang dah restless. 2. There's like 4 separate intro before Fran actually came out and sing. 3. The switch between songs sometime macam tak smooth. She need to better fill those gaps. 4. 33 lagu, bontot pun dah kebas. Hahaha. 5. Dancers tu tak payah. Macam show RTM pun ada jugak. And 6. Cepat sangat the konsert peak.
The peak to me was when Roystan Sta Maria came out to sing with her. Awwwww... how come there's not many great duet songs around these days. Listening to Siapa Dia Sebelum Daku live from both of them is priceless. Tapi the song after that lagi best... Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta. Skang lagu tu asyik main dlm kepala..."Biaarrr (dulu masa kecik ingatkan 'Diaaa') jauh di seberang.. Kasihh tak mungkin hilaanggg". From far Roy looked the same. Tapi bila tengok gambar dekat, memang la dah tua.
Of course Fran hit the ball out of the park with all of her ballads. The orchestra was brilliant thru out. She sang Kerna Terpaksa with Manan Ngah (asyik nak cakap Eman Manan) on guitar. Memang best gila. Her voice hardly change, still maintain. She also performed with Imran Ajmain. Ok la.
Sadly, the place was not packed. Banyak seat kosong. I suppose the ticket was a wee bit expensive. However yang datang tu mmg peminat tegar, kecuali kitaorang berdua yang asyik blur.. ni lagu apa? ni lagu apa? dah masuk lagu no 20.. my mind start going... bukan tadi dia dah nyanyi ke lagu ni? Akak kat sebelah kitaorang tu punya la suka. Siap jerit2 panggil Fran.. then the spotlight fell on her.. cist.. terlibat pulak kitaorang.
Ok la, skang saya mau layan jiwang sendiri dengan lagu dibawah
Siapa Dia Sebelum Daku - Roy n Fran
( F )
Aku selalu memikirkannya
Siapa dia sebelum daku
Gadis kau puja hingga kecewa
Kini kau tak menyatakan
( R )
Aku pun jua sering tertanya
Siapa dia sebelum daku
Pria kau puja hingga merana
Kau merahsiakan dariku
( R & F )
Sejak kau wujud dalam hidupku
Semuanya telah terpadam
Bak bayangan yang indah
Di malam purnama
Di telan mentari pagi
( R & F )
Apa disentuh sejarah dulu
Hanya menyakit hati sendiri
Telah ditemukan kita berdua
Engkaulah sinar hidupku
Engkaulah sinar...
Engkaulah pelita...
Engkaulah sinar...
hidupku
p/s: masa kecik-kecik dulu.... tak reti lirik, belasah nyanyi.. 'Bak tatangan yang indah'. Memang ada masalah pendengaran betul.

Embracing my inner Rock Kapak
Today I turned on the radio and there's a segment where by they were playing old school songs.It was called Otai someting. As soon as the song starts, I totally recogized the song.
OMG! Here comes the Rock Kapak flashback:
Mithali Cintaku - U-Topia
Ingin ku mencari bayangan dikau
Namun tiada bersua yang tersembunyi
Di dalam diri rasa cintamu yang abadi
Setiap detik dan tiap ketika
Tuhan mengerti yang kita mencuba
Mengapa kau masih tak peduli
Pengemis cintamu yang asing ini
Mithali...
Pengganti nama cintamu yang suci
Mithali...
Sang puteri yang membuat kuresah
Mithali...
Tiap suatu pastikan berubah
Mithali...
Mungkin kita kan bertemu semula
Bila kubaca pintu hatimu
kesetiaan cinta terkunci padu
Seakan kau turut berbicara
Agar kebahagiaan sama dirasa
Kiranya benar oh kekasihku
Betapa lama masa berlalu
Kiranya benar suatu siksaan
Mengapa tiada penderitaan
Mithali...
Pengganti nama cintamu yang suci
Mithali...
Sang puteri yang membuat kuresah
Mithali...
Tiap suatu pastikan berubah
Mithali...
Mungkin kita kan bertemu semula
To begin with the name of the band is U-Topia. Do you know what you get when you google U-Topia? Some sources for gay and lesbians. Apakah? There's not much reference of this group. I have no idea when they was popular. Thinking back of my rock kapak phase, it must be somewhere in the mid 90s where rock songs still rule in Juara Lagu. Aparently they have a few more hit songs called Maya Percintaan and Pasti Di Sini. I'm sure I loved it all back then, but after listening to them, errkkk... what was I thinking.
I remembered that the singer sounded edgier back then. Now I thought he sounded like me at karaoke. And ya rabbi, what's up with the lyrics? The first verse and the chorus sort of saying this girl macam jual mahal. But then when you read " Bila kubaca pintu hatimu, kesetiaan cinta terkunci padu". Aik.. macam minah ni dah game on dengan ini mamat. My favorite part of all, "Kiranya benar suatu siksaan, Mengapa tiada penderitaan?" I thought the whole song was about him in some sort of pain. Ohhh.. one more thing. Is Mithali someone's name? Hmmmmm....there's a lady cricket player goes by that name...
Who cares. I lobes meaningless rock kapak lyrics!
I looked up youtube and found this. Though the video is not that good, but I think that is the original band. Dulu takde internet, aku tak tau pun mana rupanya semua orang ni :P
Hidup Rock Kapak!

Soy un perdedor
Loser - Becks/ Glee Cast
In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flaming with a loser and the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love seat
Someone keeps saying, I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Saving all your food stamps
And burning' down the trailer park
Yo, cut it
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
The forces of evil in a bozo nightmare
Banned all the music with a phony gas chamber
'Cause one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the re-run shows and the cocaine nose job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slop
He hung himself with a guitar string
I slap the turkey neck and it's hanging' from a pigeon wing
You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax, falling on a termite
Who's choking on the splinters
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
Soy, soy, soy
I'm a driver, I'm the winner
Things are gonna change, I can feel it
Soy un perdedor

Darjah kelembapan hari ini sungguh tinggi. Matching the weather. The song kinda of suit the mood. This song made Beck the center of the 'slacker' movement. Yeay slacker. I'm oozing slackerness at the moment. So lazy to do anything.
However, check out this excerp from Wiki: Beck refuted this characterization of himself, saying, "Slacker my ass. I never had any slack. I was working a $4-an-hour job trying to stay alive. That slacker stuff is for people who have the time to be depressed about everything."
Perhaps dude.
Till then, soy un perdedor!

Too Much Of A Good Thing - The Sons
There's a chill in the air comin' off the river tonight,
Sure am glad I chose my sweater,
Walk alone, I walk alone tonight,
Yeah, I've felt better.
But I know, in my heart,
One car in an alley is better than a vacant lot,
And you'll see, on my face,
Lines on a young man can find their place.
Baby, I have left so much behind,
Until I passed the same place twice
Now I see just what ya done to me,
Too much of a good thing.
Can you hold the line,
another call's comin' in,
Might be the one I just got over,
Back and forth and up again,
For just a wrong number.
But to scream a good cry,
Could leave me naked in some stranger's eyes,
So I'll whisper, a little cry,
Hope this memory'll soon pass by. Ooh.
Baby, I got feelin's old and strong,
I did not think they'll last this long,
Tell me why your light keeps turnin' on,
I say too much of a good thing.
Too much of a good thing.
A lonely voice finds little demand,
it turns too shy and afraid to make a stand.
For one last time can't you listen to me,
Baby don't let me go silently
You're too much, you're too much.
You're too much of a good thing,
You're too much of a good thing, too much
Much too, much too, much too, much too, much too, much too, much too much,
You're too much of a good thing.
This is one of the coolest song that I have ever heard. Almost forgot about it. Though I'm not eager to watch Dumb and Dumber again, I would listen to the soundtrack till my ears fall off. Best gila!
Speaking of too much of a good thing, this long 'holiday' will soon be over. 2 more days to go. Can't wait to go back. Nasi lemak terminal and roti canai, here I come!
Sure am glad I chose my sweater,
Walk alone, I walk alone tonight,
Yeah, I've felt better.
But I know, in my heart,
One car in an alley is better than a vacant lot,
And you'll see, on my face,
Lines on a young man can find their place.
Baby, I have left so much behind,
Until I passed the same place twice
Now I see just what ya done to me,
Too much of a good thing.
Can you hold the line,
another call's comin' in,
Might be the one I just got over,
Back and forth and up again,
For just a wrong number.
But to scream a good cry,
Could leave me naked in some stranger's eyes,
So I'll whisper, a little cry,
Hope this memory'll soon pass by. Ooh.
Baby, I got feelin's old and strong,
I did not think they'll last this long,
Tell me why your light keeps turnin' on,
I say too much of a good thing.
Too much of a good thing.
A lonely voice finds little demand,
it turns too shy and afraid to make a stand.
For one last time can't you listen to me,
Baby don't let me go silently
You're too much, you're too much.
You're too much of a good thing,
You're too much of a good thing, too much
Much too, much too, much too, much too, much too, much too, much too much,
You're too much of a good thing.

Something Beautiful
I had a sudden urge to listen to Robbie William's Come Undone. So on my way out to work, I picked up the CD so that I can listen to it while driving to work. Slot in the CD, and off we go to work. Come Undone was track no 12... so I just let the CD spin and it came to track no 3, Something Beautiful.
Hey... this is not a bad of a song. Has a happy vibe, and great lyrics. Lobes it.
Something Beautiful - Robbie Williams
You can't manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful that day.
A love is getting too cynical
Passion's just physical these days
You analyze everyone you meet
But get no sign, love ain't kind
every night you admit defeat
and cry yourself blind
[Chorus]
If you can't wake up in the morning
Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
The DJ said on the radio
Life should be stereo, each day
In the past you cast the unsuitable
Instead of some kind of beautiful, you just couldn't wait
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified, when they lived alone
[Repeat chorus]
Some kind of beautiful (will come your way)
[x4]
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul no no no We
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone
[Repeat chorus]
Well I sure hope there's something beautiful will come my way tomorrow coz, when I reached my office I can't get the CD out and had to pry it out using a thin ruler. And now, my cd player is ngok ngek. Is it a sign to get the player with 6 cd changer that I've always dreamt of? Or better yet, get a new car that comes with a 6 CD changer in it?
Siiigggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
