Had a show just now.
As always it's not that good. Show standard pe! Funny how we practiced lagu lain nyanyi lagu lain....Aku main tambourine.
Perit seh tangan.....The food was not great no bad lah..... okay okay nyer standard. Almost everyone just now wanted to hear me singing. Aku kan maner ada action nyer orang? So i ran away lah. Hahahaha.....
Went back dengan 4 cassett lagu kelantan. Terima kasih adi. Aku akan dengarnya dengan teliti dan cuba mengikut stylenyer.....;).
Ah computer aku dah tak hang. Ahahaha...........

Wasted ah tak gi rumah cik tipah........rawan i heard........

Nak quit, nak quit, nak quit.........
Dari tadi seh. Naik bingit dengan keje ah......
Just now Mr Muhammad went off to Australia for 3 years. Most of his teacher friends were there. Very odd atmosphere. Tak kan nak gi hug dier ke apa kan? So i just salamed. After that i had to get back to work.

Besok tiga hari off!!! Yay! Untuk Dikir dua hari, untuk hari raya haji satu. 3, 3 hari aku tak mintak off. Dah full dah. So its okay i guess. Tomorrow i can sleep until i have to wake up for Sembahyang and den tgk keadaan gi tolong Syam dengan blog dier. Lepas tu leh gi dikir. Leh pekik, pekik nyer pekik!

Dikirbarat.com terok ah. They only publish the winners of the STT piala lim boon heng nyer pics. It has been three days already.......

Selamat malam.....

Ah kau! Satu mentos stick aku bedal dalam 10 minit. Tengok arh nanti kahak aku warna warni bak pelangi di awnangan.

Why does time fly fast when you're at home [tgh shiok shiok tido] but slows down when you're working? Mother tak tau apa nak masak sekali lagi jadi dier masak singgang. Itu dah macam jadi last resort. I hate fish unless ia sudah tiada baunya. Dah dua hari sebelum dah selepas kerja aku makan mee instant. Naik bosan dengan burger pulak. Hai.....

Watched Monk tadi. Funny shit. So kelakar how even the lines from the vaccum can matter. Kecoh. Dah lama pun aku tak tgk TV. Tadi sekejap aja. Best jugak. Friday and sunday i asked for off. Friday pasal kena sembahyang and dikir, and sunday special pasal hari raya haji. Khaldun my MMMKS [Madrsah mingguan masjid kampuing siglap] friend asked me to tag along to Masid siglap to see the Kambings and stuff. If nenek is going to spend Hari Raya Haji at rumah cik Rafi then i guess it'll be okay but lets say she's gonna stay at Bukit Timah..........takya ckap. The thing is i would have to go seperately from the family ah pasal dorang nak gi Gufhran. Or i just meet them at rumah nenek pong.

Been thinking alot. Mainly about the fact my mom wants to bring the whole family for umrah. At the begining aku dah bantah. 12 hari okay. I am thinking bout possible events i may miss in Singapore. Then i thought about it. Life is not about holding on. It's about letting go. Whatever i have to miss, i just miss. Dah bagos mak aku save kan kite semua untuk pergi lagi. I'll bring back kurmas and halwa and enjoy my shawarmas at Medina. I'll kiss hajar aswad and drink litres of zam zam. I heard it's hot then. Tetapi tiada yang lebih panas dari neraka jahanam........

I guess it runs in the family. ATTN: Hakeem. Nadiah our cousin-in-law kirim salam. As you know she works with me. Dier cakap you're handsome and dier punyer sister and sisiter in law semua tertarlk. Lepas tu dier kena marha dengan boss. hahaha. pompan giler, cakap biler working hours. Sorry i couldnt tell you in person. just dont know how.
Also at work my team leader Shiau, an ex-malaysian who converses in cantonese, mandrin and malay, thinks i was and indian national dulu. Kelakar. She saw "you ada banyak campu-campur. Muka you ada cina, india dan melayu. You orang apa hah?" Pas tu aku bilang lah Neneka aku satu melayu, satu cina. Datuk aku satu indian lagi satu indonesian. Lepas tu kau masukan dalam blender dan kisar untuk 5 min, dalam dua generation kau dapatlah aku...... Si budak bercampuran bangsa......

Dah ah kena siap untuk kerja. It just taste better.

Hey. Yup, new template. Sort of actually.

I kinda Quited the Changi coffeeshop job after two days.
Really penat gila khinzir. 12hrs in a row.
Got my pay of 112 bucks. Shiok dapat pegang duit besar.
Gave $50 to mother as i owe her a lot and i promised to pay back and stuff like that.
Memorable moments of the job include actually understanding coffee shop lingo.
Like there is so many names for different typesof hot beverages.

Like teh, teh susu, teh tarik, tea, milk tea.
Then there's teh halia, teh sarabat, and teh masalah which all are refering to the same drink.
After that there is the most embarrassing moment.
This woman who was with a 7 person group including her husband beside her and her daughter on her lap mintak nombor aku. Can you imagine? She went, " Adik Adik, cik mintak nombor boleh? Adik handsome macam budak cina." Then the Pak cik said " Ko jangan layan mak cik kau ni. Ada je nak mengatal." Aku dah merah saga menyala sia! The whole group laughed and Pak cik gave me a small tip. I am not sure why.
Sial ah mak cik tu.
Kat madrasah pun tak leh escape. Marina a classmate openly asked why i am so handsome nowadays. Rilek jer dier berbual semua orang dengar. Apa lagi? merah saga menyalah. Aku kan pendiam so i didnt say anything.
Dah malu she went "i'm already attached and faithful. It was just a general question" Nasib baik shafiq sebelah aku and Aqillah was all "Marina? You shouldnt do that and crap."

Been sleeping these past few off-days. Bangun makan tidur. Tomoro start work again. this time 2 to 10. 9hrs seh. OT. Banyak duit sekali. Probably due to the chinese new year shit that's why dorang need the malay to work longer. Tapi asalkan overtime!......Aqillah's working at Coffee Bean. I think i'll visit her tomorrow.

Keputusan's out!!!!!
Tumpat is no 14 of 21! With two girl groups higher then us. Hahahhaa. lepak.
We are higher then most of the new groups like rajawali, anak watan, HDB and rambong. hahaha kita bagos.
I though we were gonna fail or something. Sekali bagus! Adi juara dapat memenangi tok juara dari kumpulan rambong, unik, HDB, Chingx3, rajawali, ulan, Wadis and keponakan. Bagos ah lu adi! Wah proud sama lu!
Tumpat's weak spots as seen would be our senikata, Karut and paluan. Hai we better improve on that. Two areas are controlled by Suhardi our karut, the senikata and karut. Adakah masalah bermula denganya? Kita akan tahu...........hehehe dah macam akhirkata ni. Sad the pics belom keluar.

I rarely get emails coz i dont usually sent them. Thats coz i dont usually get email. However i really do enjoy kak ya's emalis which usually consists of jokes and not stupid chain letters. Thank you kakak ya. Enjoyed the indian men and and an indian woman one.

See you when I'm free. Aku takkan lupakan sesiapau.....Maybe imran ah but the rest i have something in store for you guys. Tunggu bile gaji sampai!!!
Pahlwan Putih!

"Berikan ku secangkir kopi halia, buat ubat si ayam buta............."
That song comes to mind when i am working.
If yuo didnt know i am working at pasar changi.
Raihana's mom is having a bazaar for the chinese new year crowd.
Their neighbours from the other end also made a bazaar.
Things began to seem like Chicken Rice war or something by 3am in the morning.
Pagi Pagi pukul dua tak ada kipas. This would go on till 530.
I had a headache by 5am and i went "three more hours, three more hours".
Azan subuh was at 550 according to the pasar watch.
In thirty more minutes i have to go back there again.
Ada cramp in......
Gtg now. jumpa lagi bila allah hendak kami bertemu.
Pahlwan putih

I dunno why i even bother working. Six hours stuffing fries into small, regular or large. Right index finger sakit carrying the fries basket. I think at least fifty times i transfered the basket to the fryer to the bagging station and back. Besok even worst since i have to work in the morning, then at 8 i would have to go pasar changi to help Raihana's mom at the drinks stall until 8 next morning. Hai penat punyer penat. Just in it for thw money.................

Aahhhhhh.... A refreshing cup of warm air asam[plus honey] at night to make you go to sleep. Been doing this for three days already. Untuk jaga suara jugak. I just wanna sleep.

Pahlawan Putih

Obviously i am not understanding the seriousness of my position.
I cant sing most of the times.
Only in bila naik\turun lift kalau orang takda.
I know one reason they picked me was for my kelantan sounding voice from the uji bakat thing an because our current juara, Adi, masuk NS in March.
But then again why me? Just thinking bout it "berputar fikiran".
Man then comes the other issues like i mentioned.
Syawal is really eyeing on the position. Susah lah....
Amin pun lagi.....hahaha si dehtu dah memang. Nak main awok-awok, juara even though dier main rebana.
Abdillah pun selalu nya bernyanyi nyanyi ala toi juara.
I just hope it'll be fun and will not distant me to the other budak east.
People may think i did something to get to the position.
Insyallah things will be alrite. Aku malu aja lah.

"Hati Aku Mahu Tapi Aku Rasa Malu Malu,
Ingin Ku Bertemu Tapi Langkah Ku Tiba Tiba Kaku,
Ingin Ku Bersuara Tapi Lidah Ku Rasa Keluh,
Malu,Malu, Mahu Aku Malu, Aku Mahu Tapi Aku Malu........."
[Wait for the song to upload. Chinese New Year feel.....hahahha.]

Argh now i got to make a Tok Juara T-shirt. hahahaha.
Pahlwan Putih

Oh no! I think.....
They finnaly told me.
After performing our set Dapi upon looking at me told Adi to "tell my future". At that moment dah suspect dah...
The adi told me to just listen to alot of Kelantan Songs.
They want to train me to be the next Tok Juara. Tak bedek. Obviously i am having mixed feelings ah. Takut lagi ada.
The thing is i would have to learn gelombang, lengguk and stuff like that. Then have to have the courage. Sigh.
But excited lah i got chosen becos ada people who are eyeing the position, like syawal. Jgn dia kecik hati sudah.
Apa kalau benda jadi complicated? Apa kalau aku takda pitch tinggi? Well i dont. hai. But if i confirm become juara, i will belanja my family semua in cluding cik tipah, cik norli semua ticket. hahaha. Merepek.

"Selayang Pandang Tidak Dikenan,
Seimbas Renung Berputar Fikiran,
Pedih Dihujah Demi Kebaikan,
Akal Terbuka Harus Diamalkan."

Before our turn, we were placed in a holding room at the basement. There we were briefed about our entry.
After that, dengan secara spontan, Kamal stood up and "breifed" us again. Merepek yang diperbualkan. Dibasically made a joke about every detail on the white board. All of us were laughing sampai sakit perut. Before our turn tau. Trully a relaxer. During performance, kecoh. Tepuk berterabo! I think it's becos we got confused with the really prominent echo. Everything esle was okay ah except the stage ada satu platform aja. Awok2 belakang sat on that one while we the awok2 depan duduk on the stage itself. Merepek. Platform for the Percussionist was alot of times higher than the awok2 belakang platform. Hai after that we watched the show until 7 something.
Anak seninyer juara was really great. They brought their lagu middle eastern style [like Syariffah Alwiyah]
You know the adrenaline that bursts out when you listen to a good juara. Dier lenggokkan the tinggi pitches and all. Sedap gilernyer. Mata berair just listen to him. However he forgot his lyrics for the second verse but managed to still get the piala tok juara terbaik. Dier ada lembut sikit. When he was accepting the trophy, jalan pantat jack ler gelek nyer gelek pompan pun kalah. this is the results:
1st: Si Anak Seni [they also took home paluan, kesenian, intro, awok2 and juara terbaik.]
2nd: Merpati Putih 22
3rd: Pidi Arem tu [combination of Andika, Panjy and another grup. I forgot lah. Bobo got the karut terbaik piala]
[wanita category]
1st: Puteri
2nd: Merah sutera.

Some hindi influence was added to the dikir performances okay. Especially for Puteri. Dorang semua pakai indian clothes like saree and stuff. Dorang naik stage aja dah kena kacau. Intro lepak okay. Da da di da da di da da di da da. their Karut was good. But you know kalau ada bobo, maner ada lagi karut yang boleh menang?
Ulan lagi satu. They used Bole Chudiyan nyer irama. Lepak. The ledja ledja part pun ada. Kelakar punya binatangs.
Bout some other good groups. Well actually havent told you that the tema for that comp was something to do with kurang ajar. Hikayat was really entertaining by discussing about bad air, or kentutlah basically. Dorang nyer karu pun bagus. Not the first time i've seen him. Selalu among the para penonton. Again he cant win since Bobo was in.

Now lets talk about the not so good ones. Rajawali looked promising bawa dua gong atas pentas. Sekali nothing much. Karut kelantan dorang tak hafal lyrics so it was easy to tell. Anak Watan Atitude gangster konon. Merepek this time dorangnyer performance. New groups like unik and all not that good either. Rambong pakai lagu "kalau dah jodoh, tak kan kemana, Bagaikan pinang dibelah dua" for their matang. Crappy. Then there was another group.
Berapa tak bagus......Tumpat 02. hahaha.
While waiting for the show to start after intermission, there was this grup of kakak kakak sitting behind me. One of them tapped me in the shoulder and asked me which group i was from. So i said " Tumpat". Lepas tu dorang macam "OOooohhh". [is that good or bad?] Then After a long time[at leastfive groups] one of them asked me what my name was. Then she thumbs up to me after i told her. What does it mean ah?
Oh ya i took the consalation prize on behalf of tumpat, again.
They gave every grup consalation so the 1st, 2nd and 3rd were a secret.

After that balik semula ke tampines. Makan at s11 dengan abdillah, masalah and jo. before that nampak kakak ya. Call her tah berapa kali. hahahaha.
Argh hari ni kerja.......

I got in!!!
Awok Awok depan, second from the left of the stage. Dah bosan ah awok awok belakang. Hahaha, pro konon. Bestnyer nanti muka aku mesti ada kat Dikirbarat.com. Tak Tau malu!.

Here's a poem to make it seem like i am blogging in a matured and sophisticated manner. [Well thats what other bloggers do. Step Poem konon! Boleh bla!]

Love,
Why, Where, How, Who, When?
U come and go whenever you please,
Strike again and again till i bleed,
Attack in different forms and figures,
Strange isnt the only thing,
You make me dream when i am awake,
Shattered, torn, broken,
Love,
Define yourself.....

Jiwang tak jadi. None of it rhymes. oh well, guess i couldnt be bothered.

Guess you guys should know i am working at Burger King Changi Airport T2. Three days now. I am working with nadia. Okay okay ah. What's there to like about a temp job? I know the works already. Chicken whopper, double swiss, every burger ah basically. Fries semua. Besok maybe start cashiering. Guess who applied for a job there too? NurNadiah, Abang Najibnyer wifenyer sister. Dier dengan stead dier firdaus. It is really odd seh. Also just now i did something i never did for a long time. I prayed sekushuk kushuk nyer. Yup it's out. I dont really pray much unless i really takda kerja. However on the first day i saw a woman, probably working at the airport too praying. I then reliased that the airport is the best place for me to start praying regularly again. Its so quiet and there are lots of empty spaces. i felt so good after praying. Allhamdulillah. There's thois guy Rasyid who works there for six days already, who looks just like Wan Anak Watan. So the same. Dier pun sembahyang...

After Changi airport and all i went for dikir. Practise was mendak macam rebana Mr Muhammad yang ada lobang. Aku hujung apa. Back row lagi. Hilang segala semangat. Tomorrow i make sure I sit kat tengah or something. Besok selection. I dont want to be too over confident just incase i dont get in. Just browsed through the Dikirbarat.com calendar. Tumpat is @ no 7. I really did not thing it would be this big tau. The giants of dikir are involved. Ulan, Chingx3, Merpati Putih 27, Si Anak Seni and Keponakan. Old groups with new members are back like Rajawali and hikayat. Hikayat punyer cc is at tampines north. Like merepek. Also participating i think are 6 wanita groups. Oooohh. Anak watan our brudders are also in it. this would be interesting. i hope we get high then them aja sudah. Tumpat wouldnt be getting anything probably so takpe. Just in for the fun!

Being with tumpat has made me reliased that till this day aku belum kenalan perempuan and ask for their phone numbers. And i know why. Its just not my nature to go and ask a girl for her number. I too shy and i dont think it would work out. Girls i would fall in love with has to be a friend or a friend of a friend or some girl i met in the net not someone i saw while walking to the interchange or shit. Got to expand my horizon.

Kenapa kau kembali dan menangkap hatiku sekali lagi?
Pahlawan Putih ~ Masih digari oleh si puteri, hati ini sudah pun mati....[merepek]

Good morning all ya humans.

Semalam i did the bicycle frenzy thing again.
This time i did actually stop over at rumah cik tipah since i saw Cik latiff's car parked there.
Yes Ilhan! Ilhan was there.
Kelakar how his attempts to get out of the gate were unsuccessful.
D cutest baby i every seen.
And he like me too. He like severybody.
Especially Baby, cik tipah's cat.

Gtg bye now................

Now is 1042. I m back.

I think i lost my butt.
Went again for the bicycle frenzy thing again. One really big round around tampines and i overlapped at Tampines central park twice. After that i went back and found out that mom wanted to go rumah Cik tipah for urusan tertentu. So i took my bike out again to rumah cik tipah. After seeing ilhan again and cik norli and kak ya and kakak leen and everybody bascially, i went for another round at Central Park. Saner ada slope yang Best best. Pantat sakit after duduk lama sangat. Hajat pun tercapai..............Duh there was a hidden agenda. Tak kan aku nak gi naik basikal all around for nothing. Ah and i met up with Alai and Jo [and dorannyer kawan nak gi belajar.] near alai's house. It was like...."Eh! Fan!" Kuat lah that i was nearly knocked off my bike[ahah bedek aja] Alai's sec Five dis year. Blaja baik baik and score. Tell me if you need any help, even though i maybe little bit rusty.

Good nite now

PIALA ENCIK LIM BOON HENG IS NEXT WEEK!!
Tapi kita tak kesah. Lepak lagi ada. Relaks pun ada.
This set is the best yet, probably to usher in 2004.
Lagu semua sedap.
Ragam and lyrics okay okay.

Saturday....
After Practice i went with Indra, Adi, and Faz to eat at Haig Road. The others had other urusan. After that just tagged along pergi Sim Lim Square. First time nampak digital shit dari latai ke bumbung. Packed okay the place. Indra beli digital pen camera for $65 which was so small and compact it didnt have an LCD monitor. Dier nak buat web cam so it was alrite. After that jalan jalan at the depan/blakang the bugis junction that one. Its called beach road eh? Second time only. The other time i was there, i was with Abdillah, Alai, and Jo. Tempat kecoh like shit. After that we went to sit at a nearby kedai kopi and talk and have a beverage compliments of Indra. The conversation was NS related which was good for me pasal i dunt have a fucking clue whats gonna happen. Dorang boleh cakap aku nyer muke the officer type. Police eh? Well i still remember Abang Farzeel telling me that at the army dorang kesah pasal the asthmatic ones like me while kalau police dorang tak kesah and just let u die[imean in the training sense arh]. More bout the conversation that hit like a big trout. Adi said "Dari maner kau belajar teraphone [or something like that]." I was like huh? aper tu. Basically it was some singing term. He told indra bout how i sang for the uji bakat and described it as "macam kelatan asli giler" Now the whole reason of Rafiq calling me the asli king is being unraveled. Dapi said i clapped like orang kelantan. My claps to me are small[as in tangan buka sikit aja], compact and very loud. Very Pari pari. Funny how i am so Kelantan when i dont know. After that aku balik. Lepas tu aku tido.

The next day i had to go madrasah. Pakai uniform [for and 16 yr old its crappy] and i have to pass pass book to my brother. Dier dah lah kat tinggkat dua, ustaz got sorta gila feeling DHL.....dunno why mother just does want to buy for me another seperate set of books. Before that i checked frenster and i found out Adi read my blog about the dapi thing. Hope dier tak bilang dapi ah. But now i foundout i am really ment for asli then so be it.... Lepas madrasah ada last minute practice. as in it was confirmed last minute. Okay okay lah. Lepas itu makan at long john post office big like shit that one. Okay okay. It seems every conversation would have to have on how quiet i am. Bah. Something nice happen. not gonna tell.

Ka gotta go

Okay so i can access blogs from home now. So long never log in....what do you expect.
My Previous Post is a bit too short ah after missing weeks of updating.

Lets start with Yesterday [or whatever].
Been going to school this past week. Mr Muhd, my ex-art teacher is going off to further his studies at Australia and he is leaving on 27 Jan. I was invited to try out Painting since i never did it before. Guess what the theme is.....
[obviously u guys are thinking of something related to dikir]
Ya it is. I am currently Painting a potrait based on the song Syariffah Alwiyah. Funny how i came out with the idea. Its not completed yet but everyone says its nice.....from far. I think so too. Should get it posted in my blog. It's stupid to start with something hard like a human figure for a first try. Survived the past week with Sarah. Yes she is a problem since she is the straight foward type and she had to be my only source of company. [in short she's the bitchy type] And she told me why summore. The bitchyness came from her mother. Stories i heard about her from sarah really tell her character. For example this conversation she had with her daughter [sarah]
Sarah: What do you think of this painting [refering to her painting she is doing right now]
Alwiyah [ya thats her name]: I think its nice but i dont like it.
Sarah: So do you still want to hang it on the wall?
Alwiyah: I already told you i dont like it.
Strange mother and daughter.....

After that saw the school's dikir group. Stengah Mampus. 8 awok awok aja. Ler besok orientation. Macam maner nak tarik budak? Even though i am an ex student, i cant help them. Sedih ah since half of them are Scouts and their First CCA is scouts. So naturally they are preoccupied with tieing knots and making tents. [bah!] After that was a series of going up and down to the art room and back to the atrium. Nadia wanted to try art after two years of not being exposed to art. Budak Pure Bio And Pure Geog pe! Dier paint Bunga mawar stengah hidup. And now she's mad at me Pasal aku tak tolong dier and deserted her in the middle process. Sorry ah ada lain priorities. Mr muhd gave me a janting, batik dyes and a frame for the cloth. Cloth we have to buy on our own.

After that went dikir. I brought a book with me. Maha besarnyer buku. The Fresh-air Fiend. Mr muhd was in the mood of giving away his stuff so he said if i wanted the book i can have it. the book is about a man who goes around travelling and writing about them. He spent years away from home and just being a Foreigner. That's all i got from first time reading the book. Didnt talk much as always. Just focused on getting it over with. Compettion next weekend. Today ader practice. Semalamnyer guess who came first? Usually its me but this time it was Indra. Dier macam senior ah and only me and him yang tak pernah lambat. The last time every body was late, I had to wait with him for half an hour for the rest to come. Aku rasa dier pun dah penat being on time. I know i am. Hari ni jangan lambat sudah. Nice song we have. Senang keluarkan suara.
hee's the first two words of lagu juara: "SELAYANG PANDANG!"
Problem is it is asli. Asli is okay but not everytime. Semi contempt pun jadi seh. Dapi is too engrossed with his ideas that he forget we make up tumpat not him. Even people like Wan is okay with asli but not always ah. Macam tak style. Dah ragam selalu simple simple. Malas ah. Thinking of moving to another group. Just a thought lah. Not betul betul. And also Dapi Selalu kasi senoirs main macam dorang bagus sangat. They dont even have to be present to be selected and most of the time the problem dengan dorang is dorang forget ragam and make the song sumbang. They only have to come for the training before the actually competition to get selected. Maner keadilan? Aku join Neng Nyno pon BAGOS! Atau Ulan. Mesti training best nyer. Dah ah nak gi makan or mandi or something.
......................

I am still alive.
Just that i dont bother to blog when i cant see my blog at home.
Ya i think my dad did something so we cant access blogs. Hai. Kenapa? Tak ya susah susahkan diri. I did see my dad looking thru some blogs.
Now i am not really into being online since Half of my Favourites are blogs and i cant access them.

I signed up for friendster. Only got 4 or 5 friends. Really couldnt be bothered pasal I dunt need it. But okay lah just continue. Thanks Dee Ana for being my friend hahaha. Later as usual ada dikir. Cant wait to practice the set again.
