Indian Ocean Tsunami
Tsunami Background

Diver saw tsunami forming underwater

By Akiko Tada - The Star, 29th December 2004
IT HAD been another calm morning with the promise of great weather when we set off for a dawn dive from Gapang on Pulau Weh, an island renowned for its dive sites to the north-west of Aceh.

By 7am the four of us ? two British guys, a French girl and I ? were underwater with hopes of catching another great view of sea-life in the clear waters just like we had the day before.

Unknown to us, the tectonic plates of the seabed were crashing just off Sumatra, the epicentre of a cataclysmic underwater earthquake that caused tsunamis across South Asia killing tens of thousands on Sunday.

We heard a disturbing noise like the rumbling of the engine of a big ship and it went on for a while. It was towards the end of the dive so we were about 5m to 10m underwater and we looked at each other because it was unusual to hear big ships around here and then I realised that this might be an underwater earthquake.

The current was also a little bit stronger than usual but what was really unusual this time was that the fish, even the big ones, were hiding inside the corals, while the moray eels which usually hide were all rushing out from their holes.

On our way back to Gapang, we realised that something was amiss.

All of use looked at the surface of the sea and commented that it looked very strange ? because there was one part which was completely calm, there was no movement at all, it was like a mirror.

Then another part had whirling currents ? it looked like a washing machine, while yet another part had cross-currents.

As we were coming up to Gapang we could see that all the beachfront cottages had been smashed to bits. From the boat we saw huge waves gathering height and smashing against the beach, bludgeoning buildings and sending bits flying onto trees and into the ocean.

We found later rabbit fish in the bathroom on the second floor of the dive shop!

We didn?t feel anything on the boat, well just the usual rocking but we waited almost an hour until the waves calmed and then came ashore to find Gapang beach swept away by the tsunami. However no one on Gapang was injured.

Most of the tourists and locals know that when the tide recedes as far back as 2m, there was going to be a big wave and everyone would run uphill where the resorts were.

As far as I know a Malaysian couple, whose names I only remember as Han and Angie from Kuala Lumpur, and another couple, Agnes and Hamid from Perhentian Island, were safe.

There were aftershocks the whole of Sunday night and we could tell when the next one was going to happen as the dogs would start barking just before the aftershock. It felt like tiny volcano eruptions but one of the Japanese dive instructors said that these tremors and even the big one that had caused the tsunami was by Japanese standards not really that bad.

On Monday, six of us decided to get a fishing boat from the ferry jetty to catch our flights from Banda Aceh, little knowing about the devastation in the capital city of Aceh.

We saw the extent of the damage in Banda Aceh ? there was a lot of stuff floating all over the place ? pigs, refrigerators and lots of dead bodies. The city was covered with mud, buildings were torn down and there were lots more dead bodies lying on the ground ? they were rotting.

We saw the military police digging a big hole, probably to bury the dead, and we walked through the rubble and headed for the airport.

Luckily, the airport was still open and our 2pm flight to Medan was still on the tarmac even though it was already after 5pm.

It was only when I got back to Singapore that I realised how narrow an escape we had all had.

Akiko Tada is a secretary who is also an avid diver and was in Pulau Weh at the time of the earthquake on Sunday. She is now safe and back in Singapore where she works for a Japanese multinational.

.: i'm that crappy selfish friend :.

2004-12-30T14:44:00.000+08:00

call me with any nick that you want.. but i'm just being myself..

yesterday.. i read this article.. this guy or gal who wrote it.. expressed everything that i had bumbling around in my brain.. so here i paste the article..

.: What's a friend? :.

I'm writing this for people who get depressed and suicidal because of their friends.

I've noticed that one of the biggest mood effecters is friendship. Most teens tends to get easily upset by their friends, and sometimes their friends don't even know it. I too have been through this growing experience.

I think friend is a luxury. If you have one, great! If you don't have one? No big deal, you'll survive.A firnd is someone who makes life fun, who can help you and not just say they will and instead do nothing. A friend is a person who cares, not only when bad things happen but even when they don't.

Human beings naturally look for people who can help them to solve their problems and maybe have a good time with. They call them their best friends so that they can further help solve their problems at regular rate without guilt and without going through all the formalities. It's sad but true.

Being called someone's best friend doesn't mean you have to be their best friend. I learnt it the hard way when i was six and told my 11 years old neighbour that she was my best friend.

"Oh," she said nonchalantly. "Well, you're not my best friend. My best friend is in school." Ouch. But then, I was six : I didn't realise that she was my only friend.

You might say that I'm taking advantage of the people I'm describing. Well, it's up to you to see it in any way you like. But in reality, what are friends? They are people who can use each other. If you have a best friend, you must have something that your friend doesn't have. That's why he needs you and calls you his best friend and vice-versa. Sorry to say this but you're literally using each other (which is okay if it's a constant give-and-take relationship).

What if you can give your friends what they need but they can do absolutely nothing for you? You can say that you don't expect anything in return but how many people really mean it? However, you do expect your friends to treat you the same way you treat them. But sometimes that doesn't work out. Sometimes. you are capable of being more caring towards your friends while they, on the other hand can't. That leaves you feeling deprived and wondering why your friends are so selfish.

However, if you do feel that you enjoy giving even though people treat you like crap, by all means carry on, it's your life. If you don't like it, you can stop. We all have to be selfish sometimes.

Not everyone will agree with me since I'm practically asking people to be cold and selfish. The world would be less warm and friendly that's for sure but I'm only suggesting that poeple do so when they meet people who put them down. Why be nice to people who are mean to you? Why care about people who don't care about you? There's a huge difference between being noble and being stupid.

Why let them treat you like this when you don't deserve it? Why put up with something that you don't like and will never like? Why change yourself to fit your friends? Why not find other friends who are able to click with you without you having to change yourself?

I feel that we should never give ourselves holly in a friendship. Give happily and openly but never wholly. You have to know how to detach yourself from your friends so that when they hurt you, you won't be hurt.

Just remember that not everyone is as lucky as some people are. If you have great wonderful firends, good, you've found some lovely peole. But for anyone who is depressed and upset because of how your friends have treated or are treating you, I say, why let your friends make you feel this way? Who are they? Friends? I think not.

What is Beyond Words
Stray Lines in a Curvature - Copyright © 1996-1999 by Doug Webb

Stray lines in a curvature
seem out of place,
yet we still look for them.

Inside lines on a mobius strip
come to the surface
where no one can claim them.

We are all looking
for a good line,
but they are all curves.

Philosophy is about points and counter-points
presented as straight lines in The Curvature
which, unfortunately, go no-where.

We describe points as if we could see them,
but a point is a mathematical concept
which a physical dot merely approximates.

If a physical point is a conceptualization,
a line is a bridge between receding shores
over a flow undermining the bridge’s foundation.

A pipe can be broken, but not a river.
A balloon can burst, but not a breeze.
A pot can be shattered, but not dust.

Anything that has a beginning has an end.
If there is a face, there is a backside.
Where, though, are the surfaces of a sunbeam?

Surfaces are membranes of tension
supporting a multitude of hypotheses
as substantial as shadows.

Rumors of waves, storms and rolling surf
are neither heard nor reckoned
in the depths of the sea.

In the sea’s depth
there is no churning wave
and the currents are silent.

The deeps of sea and space
are silent, cold and void -
the heart’s depths are quiet, warm and full.

A river
is a vast flow
of moving silence.

Nature draws us,
absorbs our noise
and gives us its silence.

The voice of the divine
from the Realm of Silence
whispers sweet nothings.

Noise suffocates.
Silence is tangible -
one can breathe it.

Silence has no beginning or end,
nor can it be measured, contained or expressed -
yet it supports the universe.

Self-importance does not satisfy
and self-pity does not soothe.
They do not know Wonder and Mystery.

Longing and anguish are eloquent.
Responsiveness is active
and does not waste words.

Vision connects
what we can see
with what we would not see.

Basic Sanity
has to do with what is
and not what one imagines or wishes.

We see what we expect to see
and hear only what we want to hear
because we cannot stop ourselves.

Silence drives us crazy
to the precise degree
that we are out of touch with ourselves.

Silence
connects us
to the basic sanity of Life.

Noise is not music
any more than ‘the silent treatment’
is silence.

Music soothes the soul
to the degree it approaches silence.
Why not listen to the source?

I’ve talked a lot about silence
as if
it could be described.

A candle burning
in a glass bulb on a restaurant table
is an orb of silence.

A sunbeam makes no discernible sound
and does not draw attention to itself,
but sheds light on anything in its path.

Nature’s way is stillness and movement,
its voice, challenge, invitation or pain.
There is not much noise in the sounds of nature.

From a material perspective,
silence and cold are the absence of sound and heat,
and so we think they are both evidence of lifelessness.

Silence is immaterial
at the same time it is essential -
physical conclusions do not apply.

The problem is
that perception is reality -
as absolute as inaccurate a fact.

Words touching life’s rhythms
are amplified by them
and echo through time.

Silent vibrations in words
inform us of a Voice
that speaks our language.

There was a time when words were sacred
and people respected the power inherent in them.
Now we have many words of little import.

Life is an enigma within a riddle -
there is paradox at the heart of things
and all we know is silhouette and camouflage.

The intellectual search for Truth
travels the by-path Believe It or Not
to a tavern known locally as Wit’s End.

We have to beat around the burning bush
as if we were putting out the fire
or people tend to get hot feet.

Sparkling eyes
glow with you know not what
and who cares anyway?

Veiled eyes, blank as mirrors,
until you step into view,
absorb you, unless something flashes in your eye.

Ah! The low and rhythmic voice
saying all the right things -
but can it laugh, maniacally?

Yellow sunlight and bright reflections,
rainbow fringed, off shining surfaces,
and the amber radiance of the night on fire!

The stream of consciousness
flows with gathering excitement
into golden rivers bathing awareness.

The black landscape, where dark beings stand their ground in grayness
while their red eyes glare about attempting to pierce the sweeping wind
and, almost unnoticed, the distant backdrop glow of vaulting dawn!

Our lives are coral reefs
that can only thrive in sun drenched shallows
on the shoulders of inexplicable upheavals.

Like the lotus in lakes and ponds,
we root in the mud and reach for the sun
and our bloom is as exquisite as it is rare.

There is only
radiant joy and knowing wonder
and the deepest reverence.

Can anyone understand a word we say
if they have never seen what we have seen
or felt what we have felt?

Contentment is silent.
Longing is incommunicable.
What is there to say?

The only thing worth communicating
is always between the lines.
There are no words for it....

when a close friend ask me "why 7?" .. i was kinda startled.. and i just dunt know how to explain it..
she continued the conversation and told me that she love the number too.. some of her reasons..

- ada 7 warna pelangi..
- ada 7 petala langit..
- ada 7 wonders of the world

just love the way she figure things out.. hmmm

so here for the first time.. i'll explain why 7..

watched a movie.. "where the heart is" few years back.. time hari ibu kalau tak silap.. just love the movie.. it was based upon the novel by Billie Letts.

so since that i tried to find the novel...

a quote from the "where the heart is" novel -
"[Novalee is] seventeen, seven months pregnant, thirty-seven pounds overweight--and superstitious about sevens.... For most people, sevens were lucky. But not for her."

but that number has been changed to five in the movie, for some logical reasons maybe.. i dont know

so i have to admit that the idea of 7 that kinda similiar to me came from the novel

for me.. i just love the number.. but maybe 7 just not my number hehe... neither lucky nor unlucky.. so let put it this way.. my interest in sevens were all about how i look at the "things" that had happened to me that lead to who i am the way i am today.. some of the "things" were...

- i am the 7th child to my parents.. the youngest one.. but actually i'm the 8th child for both of my parents haha.. tho sumtimes i'm kindda confuse with the siblings numbering but no matter what i truly love my family

- in the year of 1987 ..i was 7 years old .. i was diagnosed with kidney failure. Due to the early detection.. it was cured after nearly a year of medication and years of pantang larang...

- I lost my beloved grandad on 21st July 1992 and my beloved dad on 26th July 1996..

- my car plate number starts with 77##.. but there were many times where relatives and friends told me that my plate number "tak seswai lah!" .. sad but true.. they were kinda rite.. especially lately... heheh

ada lagi ekceli.. but sket je lah citer hehe... so apa yg lebih important.. how to deal with the "things".. to face the fear and possibilities.. how to let go of the suffering.. to protect the heart from further hurt...Opening the heart and soul to live life as fully as possible... roger n out!

Only Time can tell - Sunday November 7, 2004 [The Star]

ONCE upon a time, there was an island where all the human emotions and desires lived ? Happiness, Sadness, Vanity, Knowledge and all the others, including Love.

One day there was an announcement that the island would soon sink. So everyone flew to his own vessel and prepared to sail away.

Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. But when the island was almost submerged in water, he had to seek help.

Wealth was passing by in a grand boat, so he called out: "Can you take me with you?"

"No, I can't," Wealth replied. "There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love turned to Vanity, who was also passing by, in a beautiful vessel: "Please help me!"

"I can't. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity said.

Sadness was close by, so Love called out: "Let me go with you, please."

"Oh, Love, I am so sad I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear Love calling.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Come Love, I will take you."

It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he forgot to ask him his name. When they finally arrived on dry land, the elder went his own way.

Love, who realised the debt he owed, asked Knowledge, another elder: "Who was that?"

"It was Time."

"Time? But why did he help me?"

Knowledge smiled, then said: "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

------------------

spare some time for those you love.. whenever they need you.. and give them.. all the time they need.. whenever they need to be alone..

hmm.. happy birthday to one of my sister today.. celebrating her.. ummm.. aaaa...her 31st b'day.. we used to fight during my childhood.. .. but today.. she's my shoulder to cry on.. and i am her shoulder to cry on.. only time can tell when we will realize and appreciate the love that we have around us..

Something about this article really pulled my attention... and if course its a fiction but somehow this article really got me thinking..

Why love is blind - Sunday November 7, 2004 [The Star]

A LONG time ago, before the world was created and humans could set foot on it, virtues and vices floated around, not quite knowing what to do. One day, all of them were gathered together, and feeling more bored than ever.

Suddenly, Ingenious came up with an idea: "Let's play hide-and-seek!?" Everyone liked the idea and immediately, Madness shouted: "I want to count, I want to count!"

Since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek Madness, all the others agreed. Madness leaned against a tree and started counting, "One, two, three ..."

As Madness counted, the vices and virtues ran off to look for places in which to hide.

Tenderness hung itself on the horn of the moon, while Treason hid in a pile of garbage.

Fondness curled up between the clouds and Passion went to the centre of the earth.

Lie said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the lake instead, whilst Avarice entered a sack that he ended up breaking.

Madness continued to shout out: "... 79, 80, 81..." By then, all the vices and virtues were well hidden, except for Love. Fickle as Love is, he could not decide where to hide. And this should not surprise us, because we all know how difficult it is to hide Love.

Madness counted, "... 95, 96, 97 ..."

Just when he got to 100, Love jumped into a rose bush. Madness turned around and shouted: "I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Laziness was the first to be found, because he did not have the energy to hide. Then Madness spotted Tenderness in the horn of the moon, Lie at the bottom of the lake, and Passion at the centre of the earth.

One by one, Madness found them all, except for Love. He was getting desperate. Envious of Love, Envy whispered to Madness, "He is in the rose bush."

Madness grabbed a wooden pitch fork and stabbed wildly at the bush. He jabbed and stabbed until a heartbreaking cry made him stop.

Love appeared from the bush, with both hands covering his face. Blood oozed from his eyes and trickled down his fingers. Madness had stabbed out Love's eyes with his pitch fork.

"What have I done? What have I done?" Madness screamed. "I have blinded you! How can I repair the damage?"

Love answered: "You cannot repair my eyes. But if you really want to do something for me, you can be my guide."

And so it came about that from that day on, Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness

---------------------------

when we talk about love.. most of us will jump into a conculsion that love is all about man an woman.. hmm..

actually i wasnt in good mood at the moment.. but since i read this article last nite.. somehow.. it brought my attention to something that I had never realized before..

when love is blind.. it is always accompanied by madness.. and i dont know if i could ever handle such kind of love...

i'm glad thad i have a family and few people around me that love me for a reason.. (maybe..) and love me for a lifetime.. i believe that sumone is in my life for a reason, they will assist me through a difficulty, give me guidance and support, to aid me outwardly or inwardly, emotionally and spiritually.. when i was caught in a deep trouble.. and expected to get scolded and punished.. but.. all that i get.. was a pat on shoulder and a hug.. telling me.. "that's OK.." "everything will be just fine.." "we love you.." ..."get some rest.. we'll talk about this later".. hmmm... Thank god that that i have them in my life..

but somehow guilt is still manipulating me for my wrongdoing.. *sigh*..

tru my past reading..the 2 finger sign forming a 'V' ni ada memacam interpretation nya.. +'ve and -'ve..
ada yg argue relevant ke sign tu?

Churchill once said that the 'V' sign stood for victory.. BUT.. secara logicnya.. bila ada victory.. that means ada losernya.. so adakah maknanya when there is victory.. there is peace!! hmmm..

dan sekarang ada new 'peace sign' yg cuba dipopularkan.. the WOW sign.. from 2 fingers we make it to 3.. forming a 'W' that stood for 'Wish Only Well' fvgghtredfwSQSDADSAAR EWQASDXZXV X ZSXSDxfsswygfre
gfgffd rrrressrdr45r ... peace.. hope.. and goodwill..

so.. today we have a choice! "V" or "W".. but whatever 'peace sign' we have.. sure.. it must come form the bottom of our heart..

.: when telcos battling for "aku nomot satu" :.

2004-10-26T08:11:00.000+08:00

As far as i rembember, we have lots of operators competing for the no. 1 slot in cellular market. But from time to time the market has undergone consolidation, Maxis merged ngan TimeCel lah.. pastu under Telekom lak Celcom merged ngan TMTouch... DiGi menteeeen as a niche player on its own... and for the result.. today we have only 3 major operators. The market today is very competitive with telcos waging a fierce marketing war to become a leader plus to win the hearts and minds of consumers.

Handphones are treated as one of essential in our daily lives, while for most of the teens its a reflection of fashion and trendy. ( kecik2 dulu kekawan pg skolah bawak tumbler air yg bentuk atur beso gedabak tu (dah kira trendy la tuh).. mintak mak beli pon mak tamau.. suh guna yg biasa je... sekali skrng... anak sedara yg sekolah rendah pon bawak enpon idup pg skolah.. lambat sket gi amik.. tepon trus!.. "acu!!! where are u?" huhuhuhu).

Berbalik kepada war among telcos ni..Since the booming of text messaging n skrng we have GPRS and WAP technologies. Telcos berperang utk launch various packages priced competitively (RM20 for Hotlink and Celcom prepaid packages while RM18 for DiGi) , teaming up with various suppliers and dealers with discounts offer, offering automatic reloading services, wider coverage, lower sms rate, bla bla bla.. especially utk prepaid punya packages.

So for each everyone of us..we must have our very own reason(s) (or maybe for no reason) why we choose to subscribe for a certain service provider.

Sebab service provided ke? Coverage OK ke? Guna Hotlink sbb Siti ke? (ekeke..) even the sms rate among Hotlink subscribers was lowered to 5 cents currently. While DiGi came out with 3 cents the lowest sms rate to date.. but one thing bout DiGi... its Customer Service even called to check if their customer has any problem with their prepaid line.

Bout a week ago i recieved a phone call from DiGi Customer Service.. asking me why did i terminated my DiGi prepaid line. And that lady even asked me.. what can DiGi do to win my heart back. She even tried to convince me that the 3 cents rate for SMS was actually suggested by one of the customers. Since i have no idea.. i suggested that DiGi offer free SMS for Digi subscribers plus much much more lower rate of phone calls. Ahaks!

So DiGi's subsribers out there.. if it happens that DiGi accept my idea.. hey! give me a treat! Double cheeseburger will do ahaha!

Apa apa pon (ececeh!) diorang nk perang ke nak apa ke.. hik.. diorang nk increase their brand profile ke rebuild a brand ke.. nk perabih duit kita ke.. janji servicenya tip top gaks!

sekian pembebelan saya tentang industri telekomunikasi negara kita.

"Getting the goss on Moss" - The Sunday People (NST)

reading this article made me smile for quite sometime.. ehehe...

especially the part i quoted below..

IF YOU WANT TO GET MR MALAYSIAN idol, Paul Raymond Moss, 41, to flash his warm Kiwi smile at you, engage him in conversations about rugby, vintage cars, Liverpool FC, vintage racing simulations (on the computer), his wife, and Siti Nurhaliza. In that order! Yes, bad news for his legions of female fans out there ? the man IS "well and truly" married. And as for Siti, well, she's got a fan in him. Remember the star-struck look he sported when he found himself seated next to her during one of the spectaculars? "I didn't know she was going to be on the show," Moss attempts swift deflection. "We thought we weren't going to have anybody turning up and 30 seconds later, there she was " next to me!" Sheepishly, he asks: "Did it really show? I had never met her before so it was nice. She's really smart. We talked, joked and then I found out she's a Liverpool fan too. So she's REALLY smart!"

...

I didn't follow the M'sian Idol show much.. but it was cool to find out that his role model is Ahmad Izham Omar.. our very own Malaysian and he adores Siti tooo!!... ahaks!

we look at things with a different conception..
we see things that others don't..
we appreciate things that remind us to someone we love..
things that remind us of good times we've had, bad times, places we've been, and fun things that full of joys..

to me.. picture above symbolized a friendship...
true friendship does exist..

hari ni try identity test lak ahaks!

n resultnya... tadaaaaaa...

Openness To Experience
Your high score in the Openness category means that you probably have a strong creative streak. Your broad intellectual curiosity and your interest in the various arts set you apart. Some people may consider you somewhat of a dreamer, and your taste for variety often means moving quickly on to the next experience. This tendency makes you appear a bit flighty and inconsistent. But these elements of your personality simply reflect a character full of new ideas and charged with emotions.

Conscientiousness
Your medium score in the Conscientiousness category means that you have achieved a solid balance in your outlook towards responsibility. You are probably somewhat organized, with a little room for improvement. Your priorities probably reflect a mix of work and play. Thoughtfulness characterizes your thinking style, so you give gravity to important decisions without making a big deal out of minor issues. You are probably serious about achieving success, but do not feel completely driven by this motivation. All in all, you've got a very healthy perspective on work and duty.

Extraversion
Your medium score in the Extraversion category defines your social identity. You are probably comfortable in either a crowd or by yourself, and spending time alone or with company is equally enjoyable. When among others, you tend to stand in the foreground, although you may not always wish to take the position of a leader. Instead, you seem to prefer moving between the role of leader and follower, as the situation requires. You probably keep a moderately active social life; you're generally on the lookout for excitement, but certainly don't require it. You tend to keep a fairly positive emotional outlook, and people can usually count on your for some good cheer.

Agreeableness
The Agreeableness category refers to your social disposition. Your medium score indicates someone who balances the priorities of your own inner voice with the needs of others. You tend to be concerned with the harmony of the group, while maintaining a certain independence. Depending on the situation, you might adopt a stance that defers to the wishes of others, or else assert your own individuality. In this way, you have a great deal of tact, and believe in the situational equality of people. You probably have an approachable and kind personality. People probably admire you for your ability to speak your mind when appropriate.

Negative Emotionality
Negative Emotionality refers to your emotional reactivity. Your medium score means that you're someone who negotiates your emotions depending on your situation. Sometimes you may feel quite sensitive and emotional, while other times you may remain resilient to outside pressures. This quality of adaptation best describes your emotional character. You maintain a rational outlook, which is moderated by feelings. For example, you can sometimes feel sad, stressed, worried or embarrassed under the weight of a situation, but you are able to act quite calm and reserved, without yielding to the stress. Responsive, without being overly reactive, is the best way to describe you.

.: puteri gunung ledang - ost :.

2004-10-08T01:28:00.001+08:00

just bought the Puteri Gunung Ledang's (PGL) OST.. waaa.. SPEEDY is speeding in getting people's money ek?
RM15.60 at SPEEDY..but i bought it just for RM13.90 at another records shop... hehe.. buy original.. but still have to be wise in buying original ;P..

the album was produced by EnfiniTy Sdn Bhd and was distrbuted by SRC. Containing 12 tracks including 2 bonus tracks.

the main reason why i bought the OST.. heh.. of course lah because of my sifoo M Nasir and Malaysia's no.1, Siti Nurhaliza for their duet in Bagai Sakti...walla! the music arrangement and mixing was blended beautifully with the voices plus the ethnic element and Javanese Tembang.

Keranamu Kekasih, quite a slow number from Vince (spelled and printed as Vinc at the tracks listing for the cassette cover). Song by Dick Lee while lyrics by Pat T. Ibrahim and Sit Jasmina ( as printed.. Sit? or maybe Siti.. hapo hapo jelah). .. Luv the lyrics and the chorus part with orchestra like music arrangement..

i was introduced to Padi's hits, Kasih Tak Sampai by my bestfriend early last month..i truly love this track..besides.. i'm into most of padi's song.. just love their music arrangement.. n fadly the lead vocal hik! .. but.. i was told that he is married..hieeya! ok back to the track...to me the main strength of this song is the organic n soft piano plucking while the music arrangement and melody is slow.. sentimental.. plus the backup group put some mysterious element it it.. whoaaa...

Asmaradana.. the first single org of PGL's OST by Tiara.. quite a refreshing and great song arrangement by KRU. similiar to Bagaikan Sakti it has a very unic ethnic music but blended with pop and hype element as a fast number track.

the rest?..

so.. what is the relevan of Karma by Cokelat and Januari by Glenn to the OST? hmm still loking for the answer.. since a few lines of the dialogue is included at the start of each song eccept for this one (excluding the 2 bonus song). Better still ..it's a nice song from cokelat and Glenn with meaningful lyrics . But on second thought maybe the love story of HT and PGL ended on January?? eheks!

Mungkin and Kembalikan Kasih by Anuar Zain.. have a very great muzik arrangement for each.. but since i'm sooo not into AZ.. hmmmm.. i might change my POV if they put AZ latest hits Semua Untuk Mu.. ahaks!

2 tracks from psyklone titled Disisimu and Sendiri. i'm not familiar with this band. but they sound just okay to me.. nothing impressive though

for those who love disco type of music... they might love the bonus version of Asmaradana with Tribal Mix by Jungle Jerry and discomafia. but i guess this remix version is probably worth listening cuz sometimes when it had sumting to do with a remixed stuff it was just unlistenable.. ekekee

suprisingly.. though i am truly wish that siti nurhaliza will sing the solo version of Bagaikan Sakti..on the other hand.. Tiara was quite good with her solo version of the theme song. Have to admit that she can sing too.. ok laaaaaaa... what else to expect.. hik!

'hadirmu' by tukang paip

Tiada ragu dihatiku
Setelah hadir dirimu
Sirna segala resahku
Terlukis lagi senyumku

Bukan mudah kulupakan
Hati yg t'lah terlukakan
Perit segenap perasaan
Zahir tak kuperlihatkan

Persis semilir bertiupan
Hadirmu nan mendamaikan
Tak tergambar keindahan
Hatiku yg kau pulihkan

Biar waktu kian berlalu
Tetap jua kau disitu
Menemani setiap langkahku
Setia menggenggam tanganku

Dengarkan ini seruanku
Buatmu kesayanganku
Walau apapun berlaku
Kita kan abadi selalu

Jangan pernah kau ragui
Demi kita ku berjanji
Kita kan tetap begini
Sehingga ke akhir nanti

.: what color is your aura? :.

2004-10-05T21:48:00.000+08:00

i tried a few of personality tests from Tickle.com early today.. and this aura test kinda cool to me..hehe..what a coincidence! ;P

What Color Is Your Aura?

and.. the result....

We don't need a psychic to tell us that you're giving off a Crimson vibe (lebih kurang cem theme color of this blog..). Your ruby-red aura reveals your passionate, sensual nature ? you're all about earthly pleasure. Whether you're getting a great massage or having a sumptuous dinner, you delight in experiences that fully engage your senses. That's why it's the material things that really float your boat. If you can taste it, touch it, smell it, or see it right here, right now, you're all over it. After all, you're firmly rooted in reality, preferring to live in the present rather than the future. And you probably have a quick temper (ouuupsss.. sooooooo true!), too ? most folks with red auras do. But you cool down quickly, turning your outspoken energy and stamina to projects with fast, concrete results. A hot-blooded go-getter like you is always in favor of instant gratification.
