back from the art camp. No i didnt go madrasah. Penat selepas semalam tidur pukul 4am bangun 6am. Worst thing ialah tat we were locked in the hall. Makan takde perut pun kosong. Kasi $10 pun only for two dinners. Take people money only! Did much of my printmaking things [art paper 2]. Got an A for my art paper 2 [drawing]. best thing was at 2.30am [i think. was only semi concious] i got to lock the school gate! Punyalah Besar gate tu. I was already feeling rumah bungalow aku yang punye. Imagine lah.....kaki ayam lagi. [buat rumah sendiri ape?]
Quite tired now. just plain tired. The camp was really interesting that because it is a camp, u see the many different "perangais" [characters] of people you know throughout the day. It then gets sickening. Fights happen resulting in hate amongst each other.
One such person also happens to be Mr Muhammad. The 29 year old art teacher who spent time on his students [when he could have just went home to comfort] who were irresponsible enough to not have conmpleted their art coursework. He went merah kerana marah. He told all the art students he was utterly dissaponted. Dengan all his ulcers in his troat, he could not speak properly [he spoke as if saliva bertakung in his mouth] Kesian. only then i found out i was being very selfish. Very very selfish. I wanted to do a different project all together but i didnt consider how much of a burden it would be to Mr Muhd. Materials and crap. hai......... betapa dissapointed.
Anak Watan and Tumpat ader their own websites.......[hoooooorrrraaaayyyyyy] I m linking them.

Sloth.

Didnt go to NAPFA test. Supposed to go @ 3.30 but this is what happened. Came back at 1.55pm, makan, sembahyang and then i decided to take a short nap. Couldnt cotrol the duration so i overslept. Now i dont know whats next.

losted rasanya di hati......... Art tah kemana, studies dah kemana. There is going to be a camp this weekend at school. We would be doing our art intensively. [ya right] tah ah. I would like to go if it is anyway beneficial. It may not be beneficial as i know myself best and i dont like to sleep outside home. Ada ah this homesick problem. Thats why i hate to travel. Back to the camp, next uh....being very distractable, i dont think it would be easy for me to complete my stuff. Next would be the people. I dont understand why the N level students are even invited. They have already finised their course work and all. As they say, BUAT SEMAK AJER! bukannyer art room besar boleh sumbat dorang. Condolences to Mr
Muhammad's spirit. He told us that he was really down cause of the things he is involved in. Banyak jugak his responsiblities. Tah kenapa he got involve in this....[must be a reason] Tak kan tempua bersarang rendah.

I myself am down. Because i have not started my revision, because someone i love so much did something bad and not expected of this person, because kawan menjadi musuh, because i question the ties between us, because i am very tired. !!!

Celupar is gone. from my mind ah. akan hanya jadi suatu kenangan. Have u read the guestbook entry by mohammad aidil? @ dikir barat . com. He was the rebana player for celupar. Something but him yang klakar. [flashback]. Imagine Penguin from batman, without the abnormal hands, bigger, with large black specs and sings well. Thats him. Hahaha. Hirwan is like the better version of Dapi. Satu hari dorang dua dua main rebana simuntaneously side by side. You could see is ah. Dapi lebih sikit bloatedness in his cheeks. Hirwan lebih less kehitaman beneath his eyes caused by tidak tidur. Dapi slacker abis abisan. Dorang going army this year. Tak ku sangka bertapa muda dorang. I thought dorang semua dah jejak 20 or somthing. I mean isnt it freakiy that the one who is leading your dikir team is only 18? Merepek.

I wish to apologise to those who have dropped by while i was not blogging. Sorry as my comp buat hal. I wish to apologise to those who are stubborn [i dont even know why i tried. 0 output] Hai i m thinking of stopping this blog. O levels are coming, seems to me this blog becomes a distraction. I will think bout it.

wish i could play the anak rebana. [tangan kekuk] they are having a farwell party for the graduating members of the Mct!! Food! best betul. Next week Saturday ada flag selling. Ada camp simuntaneously. Bingit seh!

ala events, buat semak,
tak hai berguna, kepada si pemalas.

Hey There!!!!! Penat bagai kerangga mengembara.

Yesterday, was the worst dikir set i ever did. Why? Cause ada hal backstage between the juara who had to drink before perfoming. Bingit seh. Wan and myself dah really takde mood because of tat. So takde mood we forgot a patani each. Lepak lar! Lebih bingit when there was a fight and the police had to and all just because the juara couldnt control his nafsu to drink. Tambah bingit lagi i didnt get to meet Faqeehah. I was not even allowed to see er perform. Sakit hati bagai di parut parut di biar beredarah. I even bought for her a ring. Couldnt give it to her. Now i cant even contact her, Messenger dah takde. Bingit sampai nak pekik kat somebody. Dont noe who it is gonna be!
Dah letih. Besok ada NAPFA. Only thing i am A-ing would be sit and reach. Why? cause my upper body longer than my legs. [itu pasal dapat awok awok blakang, posture taller than most of them but not when standing.] Baik Irfan! its okay Kak ya. Lebih baik u didnt come, utterly dissapointed if u did. I now am very sick and tired of Dikiring for just enjoying kalau tak enjoy terus. I wanna win jugak! Daeng Masri [the oldest, 40++] was the best ah at that time encouraging us and all...
"kita ni hanya buat amal jariah, $55 buat dorang and kite enjoy. Limit kita dapat towel kecik. Hahaha NBaik semua, all out ah!"
Lagi lepak is the fact that i wore a baju saying "Tukang MeKarut" at the front and "Nafrikid" at the back. Pple were like, Dari Nafiri eh? Bodaoh nyer gondol. Gonna miss Celupoar, tak leh avoid the feeling.

Still bummed by the fact aku tak dapat meet engkau Faqeehah! wanted a convesation at least..........Argh!
Computer dah perangai, my files smua tak leh di buka, lagu dikir, msn etc dah takde. Maybe its a blessing in diguise, O levels coming lah!

Setia pada satu, Hingga kita berjumpa,
Nafrikid

I really want this comp to be very memorable. It is gonna be fun ah. kumpulan no 8 btw.

It has been raining quite alot. Temperature drops. Isnt it human to hibernate when the temperature drops? Btw i do realise i m just making an excuse for not doing anything instead, sleeping. Getting headaches after that. Not to mention hutan belantara hairstyle. Back to raining. It does not usally rain this much this time off the year. Wonder wassup?! Mesti ader orang nyanyi tak sedap nyer. So this song is for those who sing like walruses with frogs in your trachea.........[kak ya taught me the song. Just changed the lyrics]

Kau sangkakan merdu, suara kamu,
Tapi aduhai sayang, suaramu tak begitu,
Bila engkau bernyanyi.....apa sahaja,
Hujan lebat pun turun basahi muka bumi,
Sumbang....suaramu itu, tolong berhenti........


hahahah. Adeel. My youngest brother baru balik dari his sports day. Why tah they have a sports day for kindergarden. He brought home first prize for something called make a layang. As in make a kite. apparently he had to run then make a kite. My mom lagi, two prizes, run and skip and sepak takraw. The world works in funny ways.

tak sangka banyak sudah berlaku while i was not online. Missed kak kirah's departure to Kuala mud, Kakak Zsa Zsa's birthday and tomorrow's kak ya's birthday! Agrh! What telah happen as freaky people with nothing to do than invent nonsensical crap.
Assalamualaikum everyone.

Pre-occupied with school and dikir and etc, furthermore I have a limited access to the Internet so I have not been updating much. Dikir now is like an addiction. And my studies may be affected. I also can’t seem to finish my art coursework. I even gave permission to slap me in the face kalau aku belum sedar my position.

Dikir becomes an addiction to me because I feel like I have a foster family. I feel secure just being among the members of Tumpat. Bestlah. It becomes like a you massage my back I massage your back. [@ the chalet, we sat in a circle and massaged each other’s back while we dikired. Then Irzad punched Dapi’s back. Aper lagi? Semua keropok dier. Shiok giler!] In my current position, some are very supportive others like Ah Phat, hate it that I am now an “Orang Kuat” of Tumpat. Others like Amin congratulated me for being in Celopar/Celupar [not too sure which is the right spelling] Well happiness has to end soon. I would have to stop until I have finished my o levels. Sedih sehh!
People involved in Project Celopar:
Mas, Azie, Wan, Bob, Nawi, Sharil [juara], Ah Pai [karut], Aidil [rebana], Rafiq [anak]. and others.
There is something bout Wan which is déjà vu. He reminds me of Zulkifli my primary school best friend. And so it seems I have known him for a long time. Every time he says something to me, it happened before [as in déjà vu]. His also quite friendly and full of useful ideas. Macam dah kenal bertahun tahun. Don’t much bout him ah tapi like I said, so déjà vu. Coincidence? Well there is no such thing. Everything happens for a reason.
Anyway, the last two Celopar practises was a total waste of time…. Why? The oldies decided to have their own happy hour pukul 3 dekat the kedai kopi cum pasar near the Henderson CC. I came at around 2 thirty dari Masjid Kampung Siglap. Ate nasi goreng ikan bilis [my fav] and Milo peng [milo ice] courtesy of Ah Pai. Then Suhardi [karut /songwriter], Wan [leader of Anak Watan], Rafiq went back to the cc and I jammed. The next few hours were merepek… we only managed to find the melody for the lagu juara. That was until 8. [sigh] Then I headed home with Ubay [naik train menuju eastside]. Yesterday lagi, like nasi tambah kepala itik tiga. We jammed a few songs. There was only me, dapi, rock, jo, rafiq, ubay and wan. It seems as if my arteries wall were goin to burst even though they are made of three layers of muscular walls. I arrived at 7, they came at 8 we only started at 8.30 and we only remembered the melody of the song at 9. Dikir was still enjoyed.

I made a short skit in my free time. Here is how it goes…

“Tuan Dalang lupakan saja si dia yang telah mengkhianati dirimu. Lupakanlah saja kata dusta dari mulutnya yang tidak pernah keluarkan kata-kata yang ikhlas dari hatinya. Lupakanlah perbuatan-perbuatan jijiknya. Raja sudah meminta kehadiranmu di pentas wayang nya. Tuan Dalang tidak boleh menjauhkan diri dari kerja kerana hal ini. Kupinta Tuan Dalang memikir tentang ini. Pergilah, pentas wayangmu menunggu.” Kata-kata si Bendahara memujuk Si Dalang supaya Istana Raja Putera kembali berwayang.

“Hamba sudah bertemu dengan seseorang lain yang layak memulih hati hamba yang kian berluka seperti di batu di hempaskan di kaca. Itu semua kerja Si Dia! Bernafsu durjana! ….
Bagaikan selembut kain sutera cina,
Bagaikan sesuci embun di alam maya,
Ikut rasa binasa, Ikut nafsu durjana,
Kerna nila setitik, rosak susu seblangah.

Sekarang dia sedang mengerjakan lagi dua mangsa yang tidak kenal akan takdir mereka. Patut kah hamba beritahu mereka? Atau hamba hanya berdiam diri supaya tidak melepar fitnah? …..” bersuara Si Dalang.

“Berdoalah, kerna sesungguhnya Allah maha pengasih lagi maha penyayang….”

Hey there.

The letter was successful so i am off to dikir pratices. I already went to one which i was not supposed to. It was the Tumpat one. Dorangnye set, FuYo! power lah!. The word merah or red, is interpretated in a so-so way ah, but the story line, complete [couldnt ask for more]. Warna merah. Darah kita. Jangan sangka, tiada sangketa. It was good, that i felt a bit menyesal for joining the combined team. Hahaha. Practice dates have been changed to suit the older working section of the group. Wednesdays @ Geylang Serai cc and Sundays @ Henderson cc.

blog again soon

Celopar.

Thats the name of my dikir team for Planet Dikir. I got mixed up the first time [sorry Faqeehah :P]. I m joining the Anak Watan and the Tumpat seniors. [Anak watan and Tumpat are sending their individual groups] I m happy lah. Though i will have to go through my father first.

"Kalau kau balik lambat lambat keluar takde permission you can pack your things and go and live with your friend whoever..." Said my father. I was really shocked that he said that. ME being me, i even considered it. Tidur somewhere on the streets. I mean how could he challenge me? I really was dah nak kluar rumah. I had sense so i though a better a way. I wrote him a letter. Is it going to work? only time would tell. Tomorrow i already have a practice.

Practice dates : Tuesdays and Thursdays at Geylang Serai cc and Saturdays at Henderson cc. Penat tak tentu hara. [in sing-song]

Something i have all ways wanted also came true in th period i was not blogging. Last saturday, there was a Tumpat outing. We rented a chalet for games and all. The most exciting part was when all of us went through Uji Bakat. Man. Percussion part selenge giler. 8 beat gong pun salah. Hahaha. I had to wait longer. Got al tensed and shaky. The chalet was the two floors one. Munawar came down and called me up. I went up and waited for a new guy to finish his Audition. He was worst of then me. Stuttering. AaALaa EeewaA....... My turn went well. " Kau ader dier punyer natural voice. Tapi kau ken standardise kau punyer lengok" comment on my juaraing. I blew them away when i karutted. "wow. Aku dah tak payah Karut lagi" said Suhardi the current karut. "Wah best" said Zuraidi the juara. and " Aku suka kau punyer penyampaian. Unique. Kau dengan Munawar boleh Front line in the future,"said leader of tumpat, Dapi. Insya Allah Aku akan Karut.

My studies, like shit. Not studying enough. My art bertaburan. Somehow i noe i can go through it. I believe in me!

Dalang Istana Wayang.
