The GIG that banned me

Another new resolution for New Year, but seems inappropriate for 1428H, therefore I’ll say it’s for 2007. i.e. more gigs. And who will be next one in town? MUSE….Yes.

my life… you electrify my life…
Let’s conspire to re-ignite…
All the soul that would die just to feel alive


Ok, back to the reason why I am so not amused right now… the fact that the concert is being sponsored by TIGER Beer… caused a disappointment… at least to me, a very much Islamic follower. Turned out that the since TIGER beer or any other form of alcohol substance is a no-no in Islam, we are banned from attending it. Bugger! Although, and I said this hypothetically, there might be those who like to bend the rules, well, I decided to respect it and let it go not-wholeheartedly)… why can’t PEPSI or something sponsoring MUSE? Why? Why?

There you go… a lost to start off a more-gigs-resolution of the year.

The drilling

Took another 3 hours and 15 minutes off the 8 hours routine down at the office, went to start a new resolution for the 1428H, i.e. be involved in trading shares and stuff… so, I opened an account, unfortunately, the process doesn’t take that 3 hours ++ long, so I made an appointment with the dentist.

So, there I was, at the most threatening place to be, on a dentist chair. Recalling all the experiences I had with other dentists previously, I know for sure, when there are no more tears after every treatment, and then I know I have found my most trusted one. Who would have guessed? That trusted one turned out to be my very own flesh and blood, my sister the dentist. After the gruesome drilling and patching and whatever stuff she did inside my mouth, and found out later that I didn’t cry? That’s the greatest feeling to have with addition to the disappearance of the pain. I can now smile painlessly. THANKS atique! (still hurt though.. a good kind a pain...) huh?

The departed...

As you would have guessed, the title may made you think I am actually still in the award mood, I am not that too involved (yeah right), still cannot believe Leo didn’t win one of the two nominations though…

Anyways, my uncle back to Oman today, after a long holiday in the homeland, Malaysia. It's not like we never see him everytime he’s here, but this time the farewell seem a little too moving. Maybe it's due to the longer time spent at our humble home rather than any other hotels he usually checked himself in. A lot have been talked about and lots of things he helped us out, for all that I am so grateful uncle. Sorry I can’t say it out loud, turned out I am the kind of people who cannot express any emotions out loud… (now I know)

Bye bye sir… see you next summer...

The day I took a day off for the Award

In the true fashion of one true Hollywood fan, the award is among the most awaited event in the yearly planner. Hence, being that true Hollywood enthusiast, I took a day off-work on Tuesday, 16th January 2007, mark the night for The 64th ANNUAL GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD. Glued to the tele as usual (yeah, you did think I was there at Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA, kan? Kan?), I watched every winners go on stage; listen to every acceptance speech, smiling happily when the favorites won and sad when those in favor loses. Hey, my predictions cannot ALL be true eh? Anyway, among those great winners, my ultimate beloved, Hugh Laurie won, so, yeay!!!! his acceptance speech was awesome! the funniest.

…and the rest of my off-work day?

Perfect!

2007 and counting

Rolling into another new year again, 2007… wonder what this year will brings me…

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY…

Wrapped up 2006 with what have always been my passion, music and movie… as a fan anyways, and not the creative backbone of the industry (wish I am though).

So,
SNOW PATROL officially inducted into my own list of favorite bands, 5 very shining stars!
Thanks to Atiq for blabbing about the band all these times. Their haunting music serenaded me during those very difficult times and it fixed me real good like Coldplay once did. It is now stuck in my head:

It's so thrilling but also wrong
Don't have to prove that you are so strong
Cos I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense

It's Beginning To Get to Me, from EYES WIDE OPEN album.


Now, would you not just stay still and lost in your own space listening to THAT! *sigh*

Next, I watched Shawshank Redemption yet again on DVD; it is definitely worth telling the world that it is indeed my favorite movie of all time. Andy Dufresne is one kind of a character in it, and he is right indeed when he said,”Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies”. He does have a point, although Red is also right when he said, “Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane”.Actually, both have a point… I just need to tell my heart which one worth to adhere to.

Last but not least… 2006 has been good and I feel blessed throughout the full calendar year, although I may not find that ONE thing for sure… I will definitely moving on for more things to come, because it is true, “good things happen for those who waits”, so, I’ll linger and endure for more.

The devastation

Funny how when the nations weeps for disaster and here I am whining about myself... it is sad! I hope my prayers are enough to ease these people's pain due to the very bad Flood incident happened after 100 years of similar disaster in my very own country, to my fellow statesmen.
Please God, help ease their life post disaster, so they can get back on track with the life they used to be. Wish I had all the money in the world to assist in anyway to buy those things that lost. Whatever I gave, may it represents the part of my heart that cares.
Really I am...
