bismillah-ir rahman-ir rahim.
There are musicians out there.
Doing what they do.
To why they start these lives.
As musicians.
Some do it for fame.
Some do it to score.
Some do it for the big bucks
Some do it to take a leap in socializing.
Some do it to boast.
Some do it, to be the best in their area.
Some do it to achieve.
Some do it, because of the love of performing.
Some do it, because they love music.
Some do it, just to enjoy a smile on that strangers face.
That's what i found yesterday.
Musicians who play with their heart.
Out of sincerity.
Out of the love of music.
We spoke to them.
We meaning Me Harith and Athirah.
My cousins and I.
We spoke to them and they shared alot.
Even if it was about 10mins.
They were friendly.
And old.
Which comes with the word, experience.
Imagine playing in the public.
Where they are so many different tastes.
Of music among those who past you.
Imagine them just walk past you.
I am one who cannot face rejection.
Not in the sense of love.
Because rejection in that area is a norm i guess.
But to see people not enjoy the music i play.
Or sometimes.
Being a singer.
You might think people don't like your voice.
I can say this.
That is something we musicians are afraid of.
No matter how big our egos are.
The fact that people like the genre you're playing.
They listen to the same type of music you do.
Then suddenly when you peform.
They don't like your performance.
They move away with disheartened faces.
The singer.
Would be the one most affected.
Because voice is an instrument.
That tuning takes practice and practice.
It isn't like a guitar.
Or even a drum.
So here's the video.
(sound is bad, sorry).
Of the street buskers.
Who touched my soul.
Because they were displaying.
The heart of a muscian.
Btw, listen to them.
They play infront of Raffles City.
Just across the road of City Hall Mrt.
The large pathway beside the SMRT building.
Around the evening though.

Luis Javier Garcia Sanz
My all time liverpool hero.
My favourite number as well, t-e-n.
We are sitting at the top of the table, 3-points clear of Chelsea. And yes, 7-points clear of Manchester United. Even if Man United have 2 games in hand, we're still a point ahead. And we still have proven to everyone, silenced the critics. That this time, we're taking back what is rightfully ours. Great win against Newcastle United, 5-1 victory. It'll be sweeter if it was the case, against Man United. But no matter, kopites. Breathe in, we start 2009 being at the top of the table. I am confident, because this is the BEST Liverpool team i've watch. And also, this is the longest time (within the time frame of since i supported LFC) we've been at the top of the table.
I still remember that most of the time i had to bear mockings from those who supported Man United, but again. I don't mind, because it made me see how adamant i am to support, what people call "kental". (One of the names LFC was called, but whatever) FYI, we are the biggest and the BEST team in Europe. And LFC also have what we call the 12th man, us fans. And we are the best, in the world. *PROVEN*
I had to add this in.
Chelsea was nothing till Roman bought them.
Manchester United was nothing till Alex Ferguson managed them.
Liverpool was great eversince we were born.
We were born GREAT.
The history, the pride, the faith and the Kop.
LFC forever.

bismillah-ir rahman-ir rahim.
3-0.
great goals by Keane.
and not forgeting Riera.
excellent performance.
wonderful boxing day.
and actually a relief to finally win at home again.
tonight.
watchout magpies.
we are coming.
and with a great roar.
wait.
we aren't lions.
what do larks do?
help me anyone?
i read my dearest cousin's blog.
and i am moved.
maybe i don't watch all Liverpool matches.
yes i do miss some.
but Haziq, i bet he does not.
in the future he probably will.
no matter.
Liverpool.
definitely.
maybe we don't headline everytime.
but i can bet you.
no other team has what it takes to be us.
but let's deal the cards here.
18 Premier League Titles
5 Uefa Champions League Cups
We get to keep the CL-cup at Anfield, ONLY team in EPL to do so.
Which makes us the 3rd in the list of giants in Europe.
Just below Real Madrid (9time winners) and AC Milan (7time winners)
why do people support Manchester United.
not that i have anything against them.
but i DESPISE supporters who just support but know nothing about the club.
they support only because they keep winning and winning.
and also.
if you think Cristiano is handsome and has skills.
we have Gerrard, who is definitely handsome and definitely skillful.
but to me, who is more skillful and a better footballer.
Gerrard is.
can Cristiano lift his team up from the dead?
maybe he probably can, but it's all him.
Gerrard lifts the team, and the whole team shines.
if you talk skillful, i think Giggs is much more of a player than Cristiano is.
and look who shines more?
why aren't Manchester United fans not cheering for Giggs anymore.
he is a United legend, and i know there are people out there who agrees with me.
we Liverpool fans pay our dues and respects.
for example.
look at Robbie Fowler.
he came back.
and maybe this time he did not shine like he did before.
but still, he is treated like God still.
look at Dudek.
our 2005 Champions League Hero.
he is still respected by many of us.
eventhough his performances in the last few games were not up to standard.
we know what he is capable of.
and what he already given us.
Liverpool FC.
not football club.
but FAN CLUB.
we are the best in the world.
we stand by our team.
no matter the result.
live.
love.
with three letters.
not I L U.
but LFC.
i'm thinking of a picture tonight.
Liverpool Forever!

bismillah-ir rahman-ir rahim.
i am so effing HIGH. seriously, you don't know how high i am right now. like today, was supposedly to be a lazy day for me. all because liverpool draw with arsenal, kinda like shit. but oh well, i'm still hoping for the 19-year wait to end. maybe for me, i just waited since i was 11. but for other liverpuldians, its a struggle for us. but we stand by liverpool, through good and bad times.
so, moving on. why is yazier nifail hamzah, aka reizay liafin rock n' roll star, is so effing high.
i can't and will address this matter openly, BUT. the story goes like this, in the afternoon. i hung out with a friend of mine, long time since i met her. we talked about how our lives had been, lately. so yeah, she shared her side and i shared mine. we both know alot of about each other, but predominently. i'm the one with better memory, and she is intermidated by me. haa~
so like, she said this to me. which i totally agree, and i totally believe that god has his ways. "usually the one who did not ask for the break up, wouldn't worry too much. or wouldn't be the one at the suffering end, because he/she knows that he/she gave the relationship their all. and the one who is really at fault, is the unsatisfied one."
that is that, and we can't add nothing to that. and like i always say, i did gave it my all. just that my lifestyle, is abit more OPEN that you would've wished. this is a short post laa, i know you people love my ever so long posts. but today, sorry! and my post are a little bit too far off from each other, so i'm being fair.
okay laa, talk about jamming. doing so this friday, at fourtones studio. 4pm to 6pm, i hope ruzaini's coming. we go way back, like seriously.
First OF The Gang To Die - Morrissey
I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor - Arctic Monkeys
Razz - Kings Of Leon
When You Were Young - The Killers
okay, i want this band to make it. i want to perform, and have my own album together with the band. which reminds me, i saw greatspyexperiment's album at gramophone. i was abit teary, and also very proud. i know there's electrico, but i don't listen to them. and i do listen to great spy, and since i was roaming around with my old friend. i told her, one day you're going to see my album here. she gave me a smirk, and just laugh. but like einstein said in the advertisement, on television that is.
"if the idea is not absurd at the start, then it'll be of no use pursuing."
i think it went like that lorh, haha. but in singapore, the idea of having an album IS absurd. alright then, till next time! rock on readers, lova ya!

bismillah-ir rahman-ir rahim.
hanky panky monkey funky!
rhymes right?
haha!
tell you what.
13th december 2008.
i don't know what got over me.
gross -EST thing i ever did.
only one person knows what.
haha.
monday's fishing trip was great.
we had fun.
singing.
rapping.
shouting.
making rezman naked.
haha.
all in the name of fun.
eventhough no fish was caught.
we caught something better.
F-U-N-!-!-!
tuesday on the way home trip was funny.
saw a chick on the bus.
haha.
all of us was too tired to disturb.
so we just ignored.
they were ignorant people on the bus too.
oh ya.
my bag towards east coast = 15kg + + +
my bag on the way home = 15kg + + +
fishing equipment ain't lightweighted okay?!
haha.
saw vanessa at boon lay interchange.
with her soon to be boyfriend.
the guys asked if i was jealous.
PPPFFFFTTTTT!!!
why should i be right?
haha!
and guess what diniy said!!!
"no matter what, you and vanessa were a more perfect couple."
and i said.
"oh, well!" *smirks*
hahahahahahha.
and with that i remember someone saying.
"you and syafiqah look perfect for each other."
and that someone happens to be one of syafiqah's bestfriends.
so the bottomline is, anyone with me will be perfect.
but, there are obligations though.
hahahahahaha!
aren't i just VERY SHAMELESS?
yesterday.
wednesday.
kind of fucked up know?
khai the lead guitarist.
who is the first one wanting to join my band.
when i was looking for guitarists.
he was a no show.
he did say he was backing out.
i'm cool with that.
but he said he would come for the jamm session.
and guess what.
he was a NO-SHOW.
and there was not even an apology.
he didn't reply nor pick up my calls.
what the eff right?
then in the wee hours of the morning.
discussed about band with yanty.
yazier adrianyanty rizal.
we three are together since KRYSTELLE.
that was when we were 14.
we're almost 18 now.
so that's effing long.
and this time.
following our maturity.
i think it's time we stick to one genre.
not go around trying everything again.
because we already done that for more than 2 years.
we know our abilities.
and we saw our progressions together.
how bad we were then.
how acceptable we are now.
and i still stand by my words.
"everyone can sing, it's just you want it or you don't."
oh ya, yanty told me about someone's blog.
hahahaha.
i was so effing high when i heard it.
and when i read it just now.
again i'm high.
eff it.
so the song, THE MOMENT by SAFETYSUIT.
is like a straight eff you in your face.
"You will probably end up with someone half as good as me so"
ain't that true?
i only take serious relationships.
so applicants, if you want to enjoy your life bitching.
you're not worth my time.
even if i have close girl friends.
that doesn't stop me from being a great boyfriend.
"A Great Boyfriend"
i quote that from saidatulfatimah.
and she said that about me and i know you know.
WE KNOW.
it's true.
i'm confident, NOT cocky.

The Moment - Safetysuit
From when I wake in the morning till I go and I fall asleep each night
I fight to hold onto a love that is inside
Because my past is like a nightmare that I never can escape
And I can't wait till I wake up so I can fall back asleep
And I don’t understand what happened between you and me but
You will probably end up with someone half as good as me so
I don’t care if you want to look in my eyes and say hello
You were blind to me now I’m blind to you
So now I wait for a moment when I know that there is no one left to see
All the hurt that’s inside me and the reason that I need
I need to let go of the things I see that have always let me fall
And I cannot find my way home no because I’m already home
I don’t know what you need
But I know you’re listening now
And I don’t care what you think
Because you didn’t think to care about me
Great song, great lyrics. Well, i always find the RIGHT songs for the RIGHT occasion don't i? Haha, so cocky but hey. It's true, period. But the occasion is kinda long over, but it still hurts. And this song is exactly how i feel, seriously. I have moved on, like in the song swing swing by allamericanrejects. And my pampering, isn't like other guy's pampering. They know.
Lately life has made me topsy turvy again, and i'm left with choosing. It's confusing though, given the right signs. But i don't know if those signs, are saying love and affection or just friendship. Because there is this kind of closure, that just CLICKS with you so well from the very start. It is so very hard to get, seriously. You can meet any random person, and try talking to them. It's ever likely that you can feel like, as if talking to your bestfriend with that random person.
And it feels like talking to my bestfriend, and bullying . feels like bullying my bestfriend. And pampering . feels like, pampering my bestfriend. Irritate . like i irritate my bestfriend, but i don't want . to be my bestfriend. Because i already have a bestfriend that i confide in, and she is Siti Adrianyanty. Something more special, i need . to be.
There is always this wall, right infront of me. That blocks my path, always. And when i thought i had broke through that wall, i get kicked and smacked in the face back out that wall. And after that, the wall is impenetrable. Now again, the wall is back. And this time, i am afraid. AND! I am afraid to be afraid, so i have to try. And i hope i prevail this time round, i'm doing this for . .

bismillah-ir rahman-ir rahim
always the one waiting.
not waited for.
or am i just blind?
just content to see true love.
salvage through modern times.
i've seen one-sided love so great.
it takes much courage.
and i respect that.
because i know what it feels to be so.
i'm not saying i'm perfect.
i HAVE been a dick in the past.
but i am a changed young adult.
looking at love from the sidelines.
in awe.
of what it can do.
now i quote from 8 Mile.
"don't try to judge me dude, you don't know what the fuck i've been through."
new band coming up soon.
watch out 2009.
cause this Rock N' Roll Star.
is about to rise.

bismillah-ir rahman-ir rahim.
Starlight star bright,
life lost all in fright.
All may seem so strong and sturdy,
but deep inside it's all weak and murky.
To spend this life,
in all and all.
To not get lost,
in dreams so vast.
Never was afraid to try,
just always afraid to cry.
For once i try to live so free,
but again I'm caught among tall trees.
Ever felt afraid,
to just be afraid?
This fear i live in,
leaves me always begging.
Salvaging true love,
means love without obligations.
To not care of what you see,
but to be content of what they are.
Then again,
be mindful of those who loved.
My sanctuary crumbles,
just afraid to fall in love.
Maybe afraid to left hanging,
and live a lie again like before.
I don't know if i can give my all,
i don't know if i should be so strong.
In stories i am told,
love is ever so bold.
Materials of this new age destroys purity,
i seek a new kind of sanctuary.
But still believing in principles, that made me ME.
the irritating but lovable one.
zee, the great.
year 2008.

Starlight star bright,
life lost all in fright.
All may seem so strong and sturdy,
but deep inside it's all weak and murky.
To spend this life,
in all and all.
To not get lost,
in dreams so vast.
Never was afraid to try,
just always afraid to cry.
For once i try to live so free,
but again I'm caught among tall trees.
Ever felt afraid,
to just be afraid?
This fear i live in,
leaves me always begging.
Salvaging true love,
means love without obligations.
To not care of what you see,
but to be content of what they are.
Then again,
be mindful of those who loved.
My sanctuary crumbles,
just afraid to fall in love.
Maybe afraid to left hanging,
and live a lie again like before.
I don't know if i can give my all,
i don't know if i should be so strong.
In stories i am told,
love is ever so bold.
Materials of this new age destroys purity,
i seek a new kind of sanctuary.
But still believing in principles, that made me ME.
the irritating but lovable one.
zee, the great.
year 2008.
