Mama...Mama...I Love You


A Song For Mama - Boys II Men

You taught me everything
And everything youve given me
I always keep it inside
Youre the driving force in my life, yeah
There isnt anything
Or anyone I can be
And it just wouldnt feel right
If I didnt have you by my side
You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be what you have been to me
Youll always be you always will be the girl
In my life for all times
Mama, mama you know I love you
Oh you know I love you
Mama, mama youre the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin you is like food to my soul
Youre always down for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong...Yes you did
And you took up for me
When everyone was downin me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on
There was so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
Youll always be...You will always be the girl in my life

I Love You Bonda

Mother's Day Celebration


Happy Mother's Day to All Mothers Out There

Mama - Spice Girls
She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free
Catching me in places that I knew I should'nt be
Every other day I crossed the line I didn't mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had
Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama I love you...Mama I care
Mama I love you... Mama my friend.
You're my friend...
I didn't want to hear it then but I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of to think about, about the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility
Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love
Mama, I love you... Mama, I care
Mama, I love you... Mama ,my friend.
You're my friend...
But now I'm sure I know why,
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All I can give you is love is love
Mama I love you... Mama, I care
Mama, I love you... Mama, my friend,
You're my friend...
Mama, I love you... Mama ,I care
Mama, I love you... Mama, my friend,
You're my friend...

I Love You Bonda

No Elimination

Seperti biasa saya menantikan sessi terapi saya yang hanya akan bermula jam 9 malam. Maka selepas waktu kerja di BTC, saya mengisi perut dengan :) & Kak Lorna di The Chicken Rice Shop. Pergh gabungan Kak lorna & :) sememangnya boleh memenuhkan meja makan hehehe. FYI, Kak Lorna ada temujanji dengan :) petang tadi. Temujanji dengan Perodua Myvi hehehehe. A new car for her, Insyaallah. Malamnya pula :) bermain futsal maka saya agak berseorangan menonton AF6.

Persembahan dimulakan dengan lagu bonus- pemanas konsert. Lagu popular Andy Flop Poppy & Misha Omar "Sembunyi" & Melly Goeslaw & Eric "Ada Apa Dengan Cinta". Kelihatannya pembahagian lagu tidak begitu seimbang bilamana kelihatan ketara hanya sebilangan pelajar dilihat menyanyi dan melontarkan suara. Yang lain sekadar menyanyikan beberapa bait atau mungkin sekadar memenuhkan pentas semata-mata agar tidak kelihatan kosong & lapang. Namun apa yang menyentuh hati pastinya apabila penyanyi kesayangan saya Aishah menyanyikan lagu "Syurga Di Telapak Kaki Ibu" sempena Hari Ibu yang jatuh pada keesokan harinya Ahad 11 Mei. Sayu ajer mendengarkannya. She still has the voice despte a slightly large size - cayalah Kak Aishah!!! Gambar gambar pengkritik and pelajar pelajar bersama ibubapa mereka di siarkan di layar untuk tontonan umum. Para pelajar diberikan sejambak bunga untuk diberikan kepada ibu masing masing kecuali Stanly (semoga ibunya cepat sembuh) & Stacy ( walaupun kelihatan gambar ahlikeluarganya berada di kerusi penonton).

Persembahan malam itu dimulakan dengan Toi menyanyikan lagu "Kasih Berduka" - nyanyian asal oleh M Osman (Could it be Aziz & Zulkifli's dad? - I am so bad with the entertainment highlights in Malaysia). At laSt Toi, an IMPROVEMENT!!! Walaupun persembahannya tiada yang gah, tetapi sangatlah memuaskan hati saya berbanding persembahan persembahannya di sepanjang konsert AF yang lalu. Akhirnya Toi berjaya membuatkan saya kurang dosa di malam itu - dosa mengutuk sudah tentunya. Nyanyian yang kurang mendatar, gerak badan yang rileks mngikut muzik - thank god at last he managed to entertain people. Ada peningkatan dan sudah pasti saya tidak mempersoalkan undian peminat yang masih menyokong Toi selama ini. Berbaloi undian yang diterima dengan kredit yang dilaburkan oleh peminat peminat Toi. Syabas Toi.

Persembahan dari pelajar yang amat saya nantikan - Nadia seterusnya menyusul. Benar kata Ramli MS persembahan Nadia tiada impaknya yang besar walaupun seperti biasa dia belum pernah mengecewakan peminat yang sentiasa terhibur. Memetik kata kata Paul Moss sewaktu memberikan komen terhadap persembahan Siti Sarah Raisuddin di dalam Malaysian Idol tidak lama dahulu - "Bila kita tahu kemampuan Sarah, kita mengharapkan sesuatu yang luar biasa dalam persembahan seterusnya". Saya kira begitu juga dengan perihal Nadia. We know she can sing so she needs something to make us awe and say wow. She needs to work out her X-factor, poor girl. She needs to understand now people are having a much higher expectations towards her ability to sing & entertain. But I seriuosly hope (and vote) she will make it to the finals.
Stanly belted out "Naluri Lelaki" (originally sang by Samsons). He looks and moves so energetically on the stage and down on the floor with the crowd. I am happy that he was increasingly improving after a few gloomy weeks. Bangkit semula Stanly - you can do it. Sememangnya ketara kelihatan Stanly dapat "bersatu" dengan lagu dan mempamerkan persembahan yang menarik tanpa kelihatan terpaksa atau dipaksa. Satu bonus untuk Stanly dalam menghiburkan penonton & pengundinya malam itu.
Riz & "Laskar Cinta"nya gagal menghiburkan saya. Saya perlu bersetuju dengan Kak Ogy bila mengatakan persembahan Riz pada malam itu adalah persembahannya yang paling teruk. Saya tak nafikan lagu itu sememangnya sukar - tapi sampai bila Riz hendak menyanyikan lagu lagu yang kurang mencabar & memihak kepadanya? Sudah seringkali Riz diberikan lagu yang berpihak kepada vokalnya & nampaknya percubaan Ramli MS untuk "mencuba" sesuatu yang baru kepada Riz ternyata gagal.
Nubhan memeruskan persembahan hambar yang dimulakan oleh Riz sebelum tadi. Saya langsung gagal memahami pucuk pangkal muzik & lagu yang cuba di sampaikanoleh Nubhan. Sayang Nubhan punya suara unik tapi malas belajar menyebabkan dia semakin teruk tanpa kelihatan apa apa peningkatan baik dari segi nyanyian mahupun persembahan. Hanya undian kesian & simpati yang menyelamatkan Nubhan dari disingkirkan. Tak boleh salahkan peminat peminat Nubhan sebab muka dia memang comel kan? But now we know who votes for talents & who votes for looks. Peminat sekarang semakin bijak? Pengundi sekarang semakin bijak? Betulkah kenyatan itu sebenarnya? I doubt so people :)
Percaturan AF meletakkan Stacy sebagai peserta terakhir sememangnya bijak kerana saya sendiri antara yang tidak berganjak dari depan tv menantikan si cilik itu membuat persembahan. Antara Nadia, Riz & Stacy - percaturannya seorang di awal konsert, seorang di tengah konsert & seorang lagi di akhir konsert. Perasan atau tidak itu sudah menjadi formulanya sejak beberapa konsert yang lalu. Thank you Stacy for making every week of my watching the concert something worth it!! As usual, persembahan energetic yang ceria, suara yang selari dengan pergerakan tanpa bunyi "pancit" keletihan memang menyegarkan saya yang hampir layu dek persembahan hambar Riz & Nubhan. Tapi dek kerana lelehan airmata rupa seposen keduanya, undian mereka terus melonjak naik. Baguslah anak anak jantan sekalian, teruskan menangis pasti kamu dapat menjadi juara AF kelak. Dan sekali lagi pengundi pengundi telah menunjukkan tahap mentaliti mereka. Jujur saya katakan Riz wajar diselamatkan kerana mamat tu boleh menyanyi & menghibur. Nubhan tu mak aii menyakitkan hati ajer tengok dia menyanyi saban minggu. Berdasarkan persembahan selayaknya Nubhan yang terkeluar malam itu. Tapi memandangkan kejutan yang dirancang adalah tiada penyngkiran lega juga rasanya kerana undian Nadia merosot teruk. But its ok girl, we know you can go far & the votes that you got are genuinely casted due to your talent and not due sympathy.

Blues For Me.............

As I was doing my work while surfing the net (well my job does require me to surf the net you know :)); I suddenly missed all those cartoons I used to watch while I was still a kid. (The reason why I chose not to use the word "young" is merely because I believe I am still young - well at heart at least). They just don't make cartoons like the way they used to. I still remember watching Alf the sitcom & Alf The cartoon ;
Babar ; Bettle Juice (The beginning of the so-call Gothic cartoon I assume);
CareBears (Awwww so cute wish I can have it all);
DuckTales ; GhostBusters ; Gummi Bears ;
Flintstones ; Jetsons ; Johny Quest
She-Ra:Princess Of Power with her beloved twin brother
He-Man & the Masters Of The Universe; Transformers, ; The Smurfs (remember the rythm la la lalalala la lalalala); Heathcliff, ; Captain Caveman ;
Popeye, Pink Panther ;
Saber Rider & The Star Sherif
Scooby Doo (my all time favourite) ; Scrappy Doo - just to name a few.

I guess the cartoons nowadays are meant for the cyber generation. Continuation of older generations cartoons like Transformers & X-Men have seems to be taken by anime look alike. The cutie faces & round eyes. Kinda restricts the choices of cartoons. Yelah semua cartoon rupanya sama ajer, pun tak berapa best jugak rasanya.

Guess what I found on the net?! This website actually has all the episodes of Jem & The Hologram series. Wallawei and I thought they have been considered ancient or extinct huhuhu.

Apa lagi kengkawan meh kita layan bersama sama. Layan...........

Kesimpulannya setelah melakukan muhasabah diri sepanjang penulisan ini ternyata saya sudah semakin tua. Hadapilah kenyataannya.
P/s : Penulisan kali ini saya tujukan khas buat Azreen yang selalu merungut kerana blog saya terlalu penuh dengan perkataan yang melampau banyak sehingga tidak larat untuk dibaca. For you Azreen - hambik kau!!!

Ouija Board Anyone???

Hm, as usual the main choice for our movie selection is the one with the theme horror - though each time :) & Azzam will be voicing out their disagreement. Well this time around we have chosen another horror movie shown in Cineleisure . But this time out of curiosity we have chosen OUIJA - a Philippines Horror Movie. Though I must admit at first we were a bit sceptical about it. Why? Reason #1 : Never heard or watched any famous horror movies from Philippines. Reason#2 : The Philippines products that are usually shown on the televisions are soap-operas which are very lengthy and stereotype. (I was never really a fan of these soap operas anyway) Reason #3: The guy at the counter did mention thatno one is watching it for that session therefore we will be the only patrons in the cinema. After discussing; we (as in Lorna & I) decided to take a chance with the movie. Apparently, what the guy said was true; we were the only ones watching the movie - well that was what we thought too - until a couple came in right before the start of the movie. A short synopsis if I may "Half-sisters Aileen and Romina, along with first cousins Ruth and Sandra, reunite in Camiguin to bury their grandmother. Accompanied by Sandra’s friend, Lucy, the five girls dare to call on the spirits of the dead when they find their old Ouija board from when they were kids. The Ouija board is burned by accident before they are able to finish the ritual, trapping a murderous entity around them.
As they begin to realize the terror that they have brought upon themselves, Aileen and Romina’s hostile relationship even become more strained, while Lucy’s sanity brings a heavy burden on Sandra, and Ruth’s boyfriend, Gino, is unknowingly pulled into the danger and horror that await all of them.
Confronted by imminent Death, the girls have nowhere to go unless they can identify the spirit and find out where it is buried. It is only by leading the spirit to its burial ground that they will able to release the spirit from theOuija Board and survive its fatal hauntings. - I copy this from wikipedia 100%. I was kinda lazy and therefore cut & paste was all I did.
On my experience watching the movie without strangers around (minus the couple of course) - wallawei best giler!!!! I did actually screamed due to the surprises actions and shots taken through out the movie. Selalunya control ayu ajer memanjang kan? Kali ni puas hati dapat meluahkan segala yang terbuku di hati selama ini hehehehe
