Dah lama dah suka lagu ni. Dan lagu ni merupakan antara kurang 20 lagu melayu yang ada dalam 16GB MP3 aku…tapi shuffle mode suka je mainkan lagu ni.

Bila hayati lirik lagu ni, aku amat terkesan pada lirik “Kewangan kita merdeka mampu bersara”. Dalam musim-musim orang sibuk dengan isu PTPTN dan diri yang terhimpit dengan hutang keliling pinggang..kekeke.. terasa betul.

Waktu muda belia baru merasa gaji tahun pertama,angan-angan nak jadi kaya je. Nak gaji besar, nak beli kereta la, rumah sendiri la, nak pergi melancong la, nak beli album itu ini la, buat facial spa bagai, makan sedap, shopping itu ini. Amboii nafsu!!! Sejak bila kita jadi terlalu materialistik.

Untuk adik-adik yang masih kat alam Uni atau baru berkerja (aku assume most of my reader muda belia macam aku juga); tahukah anda trend terkini semakin banyak individu berusia 20-an dan awal 30-an sudah mula mengisytihar bangkrap. Ini satu lagi realiti masyarakat kita yang menyedihkan.

Tak dapat dinafikan sebenarnya generasi muda Malaysia kini adalah generasi berliabiliti tinggi a.k.a generasi berhutang keliling pinggang. Personal loan sangat mudah, kadang-kadang boleh dapat cash dalam tempoh 24 jam. Kad kredit tak usah kata, bila ada swipe je…bayar balik difikir kemudian. Kereta dah jadi keperluan. Belum lagi masuk perbelanjaan lain.

Ada tak simpanan? Ada tak bekalan di masa hadapan? Dan jika something goes wrong, merdekakah kita untuk bersara?

Soalan untuk diri sendiri…end of my rant

Tapi lagu ni sungguh bagus liriknya. Baru perasan lirik pertengahan senaraikan ciri-ciri isteri mithali atau isteri idaman Malaya:

Dia..
Pandai menjaga hati ayah dan ibunya
Kelakuannya sama dengan orang tuaku juga..

Dia..
Bisa cipta yg gula dari yang cuka
Pandai menukar yg duka kepada suka

Dia..
Bijak mengatur acara dan juga masa
Cekap memasak garam gula secukup rasa..

Dia..
Pandai menjaga harta dan juga duitnya
Tetap anggun tanpa mendedahkan kulitnya..

Dia..
Setia pada Yang Esa satu-satunya
Memenuhi tanggungjawab lima waktunya..

Dia..
Punya tempat dalam rancangan yg ku rangka
Tak usah lengah
Ayuh kita berumah tangga

Chantek..
Sechantek suria menyinar
Seindah bunga yang di taman.. Mekar…

Chantek…
Dirimu buat ku tertarik..
Menghilang segala prasangka.. Di jiwa…

Dan bayangan sebuah keluarga harmoni idaman semua:

Aku..
Melihat kita bersama di hari tua

Dia..
Masih satu tiada empat tiga atau dua
Dan walaupun kau sudah kepudaran rupa
Kau tetap cantik padaku aku tak lupa

Kita bersama di anjung luangkan masa
Kewangan kita merdeka mampu bersara
Hasil usaha kita dari masa dahulu
Cukup untuk mengisi perut anak dan cucu

Hidup santai tak perlu terburu-buru
Punya masa kerja ibadah dan juga ilmu
Anak kita dan ayahnya semua sebulu
Aku bilang kau chantek dan mereka setuju

Hidup ini…sangat penat jika kita asyik mengejar..

Hidup ini…bukankah untuk jadi sebaik-baik hamba Allah?

Hidup ini…persinggahan sebelum alam yang kekal, kenapa kita penatkan dengan yang tak perlu?

EXO-K ‘MAMA’ MV with Eng translation

Kala sepurnama hamba bertapa
Terdengar perkhabaran turunnya 12 kuasa dipisah dua
Adanya dua kuasa ini memijak bumi yang sama mendongak langit yang berbeda
Menjunjung langit yang sama, bertapak di tanah berbeda
Adapun 12 kuasa ini bila disatukan…

Owh…cut the crap…hahaha

Berapa bulan eyh group EXO ni buat promosi sebelum debut? Seingat aku dari tahun lepas kot. Hujung Disember sudah ada promosi, dan seingat aku jadi satu-satunya kpop group yang belum debut perform kat year end event.

Ntah berapa puluh teaser…siap ada prologue MV or prologue debut. Anak sapa ntah yang cakap ‘nanti aku tak hairan la kalau group ni debut’; ‘alaa…promo lebih-lebih ni…kompem overrated macam 9dara tu jugak’…. ni sekarang ni siapa plak yang addict ngan lagu diorang ni? Baru dengar satu lagu, dah ulang berhari-hari siap hafal lirik chorus!!! Hurmmm, aku la tu…kekeke

Memang aku tak ambik peduli lansung pun masa group ni buat promosi sebelum debut. Tapi dek kerana nak melayan Music Monday review oleh Simon&Martina, aku layan la jugak MV ni (berapa bulan dah debut baru nak dengar ni?)

Tapi serius lagu MAMA ni sangat best. Tambah lagi bila dengar dengan terjemahan lirik dia. Serius aku cakap ni la original lagu kpop yang aku suka. Zaman dulu-dulu, aku mana layan lagu kpop yang lebih banyak autotune & repeated music ntah apa2 ni. Dulu, kpop yang aku layan cuma lagu-lagu DBSK yang mantap muzik dan lirik-nya macam Rising Sun, O dan Triangle. Sungguhpun aku kipas-susah-mati DBSK, lagu ntah apa2 diorang xde la aku layan sangat, lebih suka lagu jepun diorang…hahaha.

Lagu-lagu ni bawa lirik yang sangat unik bagi aku. Can u imagine, a pop song by an idol group bringing such heavy message in their song lyric. This is the kpop that i know before…hohoho.

Ye la, macam sekarang kat Malaysia, takat lagu jiwang karat asyik topik sama je sapa nak layan beb? Cuba la buat lagu pasal PTPTN (owh generasi baru dibeban hutang seumur hidup); harga barang naik ke; hal kesatuan rakyat 1Malaysia ke…baru la unik.

Persamaan antara O.Jung.Ban.Hap, Triangle & MAMA –> lagu yang mempersoal ‘dark side of human’, harapan pada kehidupan bermasyarakat, moraliti hidup…heavy kan…sungguh murni & jitu sekali…boleh lagi akhbar Malaysia cop lagu Kpop ajar peminat suicide!!! Even lagu SuJu – Sorry Sorry pun mengajak kita petah lidah untuk minta maaf…sungguh sesuai dimainkan di hari raya gitu…kekeke

Ok la…mula dah aku melalut. Apapun lagu EXO – MAMA ni sangat best. Lagu yang lain aku tak dengar lagi. Xiah Junsu aku sungguh la harap ko stop buat lagu sexy ntah apa-apa & kembali kepada konsep kemanusiaan please….kekeke. Fallen Leave sangat best, buat versi up-beat plak la…hoho.

And lastly, sila la layan K-pop Music Monday review untuk MAMA ni…sungguh lawak antarabangsa MV jadi kisah super-power ntah apa-apa…hohoho…

Simon & Martina’s K-pop Music Monday:

Salam semua..

It’s been a while right?..hehehe..dah lebih sebulan xde twitter, boleh jugak aku survive eyh…hehehe. Hari tu ada jenguk twitter sekejap..terharu sangat ramai rakan twitter missing me…kekeke. Perkara yang kita tak ada tu selalu buat kita lebih hargai apa yang ada.

A lot of thing had happen the past few months. Tahun 2012 sangat mencabar, banyak sangat perubahan dalam hidup..hehe. ‘Masa bertapa’ for the past few weeks make me think a lot on myself too. About future, about what kind of life we want to live..

Dalam serabut serabut otak ni, i read back my old entries. I figure out that I have this thinking since few years ago…un-answered or perhaps never ending tought on my on live…hehehe

Tapi sebenarnyakan….jawapan tu dah ada depan kita. Cuma kadang-kadang kita pekak-kan telinga dan pejamkan mata…kita menangkan ego.

I wrote few good entries before, good as in it really voice out my concern & opinion : HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE… I feel good reading it back. Terkesan sikit dengan komen yang ditinggalkan pembaca kat entry Kerana Kita Insan Berbeza:

Dicipta Allah kita berbeza, namun jalan kita hanya ada satu. Jalan lurus, berbeza dengan kafir. Mereka ada jalan ke kiri, neraka. Ke kanan, nafsu. Kita hanya ada tengah, jalan lurus.

Ibarat Makino (version Jepun) dan Jandi (version Korea) hidup mereka untuk hidup, sedang kita hidup kita untuk mati, bersiap untuk mati.

Hidup kita untuk kenal dan cinta Allah agar dapat melihat zatNya kelak disyurga kelak. -alqasam

Another one from same entry:

Kita diuji dengan macam-macam ujian, dan kita tahu, ujian itu perlu untuk meningkatkan darjat iman. Tapi, kadang2, kita sering terlupa betapa, apabila kita diuji, apabila kita sedih, Allah merupakan Pendegar yang Paling Baik, Allah merupakan Pendengar yang Paling Setia, Allah merupakan Pemberi Jalan Penyelesaian yang Paling Bijak. Kerana terlupa, maka kemudian, kita akan cuba mencari kawan atau kekasih untuk menenangkan hati kita. Mengadu betapa malangnya nasib kita, meminta penyelesaian atas masalah kita.

Funny that these two comments are received in early 2009, way back when i’m still in blogspot.

Jawapan sudah ada di depan mata..ku pohon kekuatan untuk menempuhinya

Dah hampir sebulan meninggalkan twitter dan personal FB….hohoho…survive jugak aku tanpa ada twitter dan facebook. Makin jimat bateri telefon aku…hahaha.

Sungguhpun ketinggalan kereta api sikit dengan perkembangan semasa, not to mention i miss out all my favourites artist and friends updates, tapi insyaAllah beri hikmah kepada perkara lain…hehehe.

A bit weird tho…i don’t have place to spazz anymore…hahaha. Nor did i have place to share for any simple thing that i do in a day. So what did i do in these few weeks?

Well, finish watching:

1) Dream High 2
2) Moon that Embraced the Sun

• Super awesome drama..enough said..hohoho

3) Deep Rooted Tree

• Another super awesome drama…so awesome how creation of Hangul can be made in such ‘full of thought’ drama

4) Flower Boy Ramyun Shop

• Surprisingly very good drama with solid plot…and…flower boys…hahaha

5) Accuracy of Death

• Japan drama that i keep for so long…nice plot

6) Memiors of a Teenage Amnesiac

• Another japan drama that i keep for so long..download it beacause Yuya Tegoshi, Maki Horikita and Kenichi Matsuyama are the main leads

7) Gossip Girl season 5 (up until ep 19<~~latest episode yo…hahaha)

8.) Skip Beat (up until ep 4)

• Originally download it because of Donghae & Siwon..but as i read the manga, it actually really awesome manga..hopefully the drama can reach the manga expectation

9) A Love to Kill

• This is another Korean drama that i keep for so long…glad that i watch it….super awesome drama with unique storyline..love and revenge…Rain is super awesome here. Tho i love Fullhouse, he didn’t really make me fall for him in that drama…but in this drama..it’s like it really suit him…hohoho..recommended to watch

Also have read Skip Beat Manga (up till the latest ep 186) and Naruto (now at chapter 139). I should read all my book collection but duh =__=”"

Now i also have new hobby, uploading drama and some music collection to MediaFire. So far i only upload Rooftop Prince up to episode 4, anyone who want to download, please leave comments, i email links to you. It all for backup, but MediaFire have policies of sharing files to keep the file forever there…hahaha, so i guess i have to share all the backup files.

Lastly, so happy that U-Kiss is now ‘VERIFIED’ on twitter. Some kind of acknowladgement for them even they kind of underrated in Korea..huhu. Owh ya, last i heard they will do comeback in April <~~OMG i’m so lost…hahaha.

I finish watching Dream High 2 yesterday. Get really hook on watching it. Personnally i think it’s a great drama, all cast done well even when most of them are acting for the first time. Not sure is it because its too musical that the rating become so low, for me the plot kinda solid.

Watching this drama makes me think a lot too..

What is dream? What is real life? Do we really need to have extra-ordinary dream & persue ‘grand’ life?

No matter how much we work hard, in the end how actually we going to end up; or how we want the future to be?

Can we achieved our dream and become greater person after so much test in our life?

Or will we find other path or direction when we seem can’t persue our original target?

Or probably thing will go wrong, forcing us to left our dream.

Or until forever…wondering what is our dream..and still figure out what we actually want to do in our life?

We never know are we going to end up to be Sin Hye Sung, Ri An, JB or Jin Yu Jin. But in either way, are we going to regret the choice we made today?

~ ~ ~

From this drama too, i listen to Se7en’ ‘When I Can’t Sing’ for the first time. And listening to it’s lyric…i can say it can be applied to everyone..for any profession they have

Even if I’ve lost it all
Even if my popularity drops
Even if I can no longer sing
Even if I enter another profession
For who I am, that being the only reason,
would you still love me?

Sonner or later this day will come (Will come)
The sound of outcries lessen
as I step down from the stage, oh
My shoulders sagging (Shoulders sagging)
When my head is bowed
Even then
By my side (By my side), will you remain there?

Love this song so much…aja-aja fighting!!! ^___^

Salam.

It’s already more than two week past after my trip to Langkawi. Awesome holiday destination, very easy to go around here. We arrive on Friday night and decide to rent a car at the airport. Can you imagine, first time arriving in Langkawi airport, me and my friend simply rent a car, and just drove from airport to our hotel in Kuah Town.

We arrived at Hotel Langkasuka past 9pm. The shops in the mall all ready to close. It’s quite quiet around the hotel, not happening at all at night.

The next day, our first destination is Galeria Perdana. This unique gallery was built to display and share with everyone the various awards, souvenirs and gifts the (former) Prime Minister (Tun Dr Mahathir Muhammad) and his wife received from world leaders, statesmen as well as Malaysians during his tenure (Source). You can find the best piece of art collection here.

I actually only knew about this gallery when i’m google-ing about places to visit in Langkawi few days before i flew to Langkawi. Glad that my friend agree to go here..we end up spent more than 2 hours here admiring the stunning gift collection. So here some awesome picture i took in this gallery.

Ground floor near entrance...

STUNNING....BEAUTIFUL

Wawasan 2020...are we still remember this vision?

ku ingatkan senjata ni hanya ada dalam anime =__=""

Reason why i really wanted to come here..Miniature of musical instrument..stunning

Very beautiful vase..love the colour

Dear KTM...8 more years...can you?

The gallery building itself is an art with very stunning interior:

First ceiling near main entrance

siling tangga

This gallery opens daily from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm & 8.30 am to 6.00 pm (School / public holidays). Admission fee RM 10.00 for Adult and RM 4.00 for children (6 – 12 tahun); half price if you’re Malaysian (bring along MyKad to buy ticket). Fee for Camera is RM 2.00 and Video Camera is RM 5.00.

Siapa yang kenal aku akan tahu aku sangat suka ambil gambar makanan. Ni salah satu tempat favourite aku di Kuching…hohoho. Cawangan The Hills ni baru dibuka hujung tahun lepas, November rasanya.

Selalunya aku akan order Chicken Chop Wok <ntah apa nama dia…lol>..Harga dia rm16++ kalau tak silap. Portion dia agak kecil bagi aku yang kuat makan ni (tapi kat Sunway Giza portion dia agak besar kot, tak habis plak makan)…hoho.

Waktu first time makan dulu, ambil lunch set dengan sup & ice-lemon-tea. RM17++ kalau tak silap..hoho.

Yang ni favourite aku, Salmon Salad: Smoked salmon dihidang dengan mango yang manis dan ditabur gula yang dibakar..ada salad sejemput di tepi…sangat sedap:

Aku selalu makan salad sekali dengan mango dia, bagi perasa manis…hoho.

Hari tu makan kat cawangan Sunway Giza, mango dia hiris besar-besar…hoho:

Pernah juga makan Carbonara Spegetti dia…sedap for me…hoho:

Gambar-gambar sekitar FullHouse The Hills, Kuching:

Sambil makan boleh shopping baju, accessories:

Hiasan dalaman yang menarik:

Alang-alang aku dah post pasal Fullhouse ni, aku post skali pic dessert yang kawan aku try kat Sunway Giza…tak sure plak ada tak kat Kuching..hoho:

Chocolate mousse kalau tak silap..

Chocolate brownies with vanilla ice-cream

Dessert yang aku makan hilang la plak gambar dia…aku makan yang macam cream puff…hoho…sedap

Annyeonghaseyo…

Tengah hari tadi lepas lunch, singgah sebentar di Speedy atau nama betul kedai tu Video Ezy tak jauh dari pejabat. Selama ni tak pernah sibuk nak beli album kat sini sebab lagi suka beli terus dari Korea atau Jepun.

Tapi di kedai tu tadi ada promo Buy 2 For RM50. Kiranya satu RM25 je. Salah satu album yang termasuk dalam promo ialah album FT Island kat atas. Memang tergugat iman <withdrawal sindrom lepas konsert,rasa nak beli je semua koleksi album diorang…lol>. Label “Imported Warner Music” tu dah kompem album ori. Kalau Perniagaan Telawi atau PMP punya label ambe was-was sikit…hoho.

Jadi ambe sambar je la. Tambah lagi tengok Tohosinki The Secret Code 2CD+DVD pun ada skali “Buy 2 For RM50″. Turut dibawa balik ialah Blu Ray Adele Live in Royal Albert Hall. Ambe memang lama dah plan nak beli tapi asyik tangguh. Dan kebetulan pulak kat sini jual murah RM79.90…kalau tak silap ambe harga standard dia RM99 cemtu kot (takpe la kalau salah retinya memang harga dia la tu..lol)

Just now bila buka album-album ni, baru tau kenapa boleh murah. Walaupun memang original dan berlabel “IMPORTED”, tapi rupanya album FT Island tu hasil kilang Malaysia…sob sob…ku sangka naik flight dari Korea. Baru la ambe tahu label “IMPORTED” tak semestinya datang dari seberang laut…huhu.

Album Tohosinki tu memang ambe dah agak versi Malaysia, tapi packaging masih sebijik Japan mari…hoho.

Beza antara album Japan keluaran Japan & keluaran Malaysia

Kalau tengok perbandingan antara album hasil kilang Japan dengan hasil kilang Malaysia:

1) Album Japan versi asal akan tulis “Made in Japan”

2) Album Japan versi negara lain plak akan tulis “This product is licensed to be distributed and sold in the following~~~~Malaysia,~~.”

3) DVD album versi asal Japan ialah Region 2, DVD sini MPEG-2 Region 3.

Untuk pengetahuan korang, waktu aku beli album FT Island tu,takde idea pun lagu dalam tu lagu apa. Aku start tahu sedikit sebanyak perkembangan FT Island sejak album Beautiful Journey kot..haha. Tapi bila dengar tadi, happy sangat sebab lagu first tu memang aku suka sangat…baru google tadi..lagu “Bad Woman”…. ~no napun yoja ya aniyaa~ <owh…terkenang hongki nyanyi live last week…huhu>

Sedih la jugak ni bukan dari tanah Korea, tapi asal ori tak kisah la jugak…huhu.

Annyeong…

Quick update…yeah,i’m seriously stil not believe i’m meeting Lee Hong Ki…looking at him singing live in front of me…seeing his face alive…oh my jaremy!!!!!!

my tix ^__^ I actually buy the Buy 1 Free 1 DIGI Promo, so my rock zone only cost rm236

Yes, this is second time watching FT Island perform live after Korean Music Wave last year. During KMW, my sit quite far so i depend on big screen to see their faces, but during this concert…OOOO MYYYYYYY i looking at their faces directly!!!!!!

Okay, sorry for over spazzing. Anyway, only manage to upload one fancam so far. This is my all time favourite song, and gladly this vid turn out perfectly (tho their face not that clear,bit shaky & serounding scream…but heay i’m in Rock Zone so this is pretty good…hoho).

the stage, taken before concert start

The concert schedule to start at 8.30pm, so we allowed to enter the stadium around 7.30pm. The guard kinda strict, we need to left out our drink bottle & they check our beg too. (I always find this rule absurd!!!…we going to crowded rock concert, need to scream but we don’t have drink supply to re-energize =__=”" )

During the whole concert, im amaze with Hongki…he keep singing and jumping (i even say to myself ‘did this kid take some kind of drug?’….lol). His voice amazing. And i notice all FT Island can sing well, tho Minhwan & Jonghun didn’t sing much that night. That quite impressive for an instrumental band.

One thing i notice during the encore (last 2 song)..they all using Play!FTISLAND official t-shirt that i have bought earlier..so during that time i’m kinda spazzing “OMG i have that t-shirt too”…lol

Some of clear pic i manage to capture (…clear as in for normal cheap camera..tsk tsk) :

so pretty:

!!!!!! WHY IT’S ALL JONGHUN PICS !!!!!!! LOL

Other pics are quite bad…as expected too. I’m not taken much pic, mostly take fancam. My favourite is the one i upoaded above, Love Hurts…my all time favourite song. I can’t believe listen to this alive…kyaaa…

Not sure if i’m going to upload the rest. I recorded more than half song perform that night i guess…but most of it are shaky…hahaha. It’s more to remind myself that i really really have watch them perform alive….lol.

Just to share here, i also buy some gift for my new cute bias Jaejin & leader Jonghun…lol.I really just hope they received it…lol

ONE PIECE JIGSAW PUZZLE...this the only monkey-d-luffy related stuff that i can find that saturday morning...lol...hope jeajin like this,not sure if he has time to solve it...lol

This guitar keychain really pretty..hope Jonghun like it...i almost buy ukelele for him but for first time i prefer to give small gift first...lol

That’s all from me tonight…lol actually i wanted to update on the video only but end up writing the whole thing. Hope to meet them again next year…hoho

p/s: spazzing allow in this post, so do tell me if any of you went to this concert..lol
