Buat baik berpada pada
Buat jahat jgn sekali
Kalau kita buat baik dgn orang belum tentu orang buat baik dengan kita
Kita pun tak sempurna, kita pun selalu silap
Tapi bila kita silap, belum tentu kita akan diberi peluang kedua
Ingat tu!!!

Indahnya menemukan sang tulang rusuk diri
Jangankan lelaki biasa, Nabi pun terasa sunyi tanpa wanita.
Tanpa mereka , hati, pikiran, perasaan lelaki akan resah.
Masih mencari walaupun sudah ada segala-galanya.
Apalagi yang tidak ada di surga, Nabi Adam a.s tetap merindukan Siti Hawa.
Kepada wanitalah lelaki memanggil ibu, isteri, atau puteri.
Dijadikan mereka dari tulang rusuk yang bengkok untuk diluruskan oleh
lelaki, tetapi kalau sendiri yang tidak lurus,
tidak mungkin mampu hendak meluruskan mereka.
Tak logik kayu yang bengkok menghasilkan bayang-bayang yang lurus.
Luruskanlah mereka dengan petunjuk Allah, kerana mereka diciptakan begitu rupa oleh-Nya.
Didiklah mereka dengan panduan dari-Nya:
Jangan cuba jinakkan mereka dengan harta, nanti mereka semakin liar…
Jangan hibur mereka dengan kecantikan, nanti mereka semakin menderita…
Yang sementara itu tidak akan menyelesaikan masalah…
Kenalkan mereka kepada Allah, Dzat yang kekal, di situlah kuncinya
Akal setipis rambutnya, tebalkan ia dengan ilmu….
Hati yang serapuh kaca, tebalkan ia dengan iman….
Perasaan yang selembut sutera, hiasilah ia dengan akhlak….
Suburkanlah, karena dari situlah nanti mereka akan nampak
penilaian dan keadilan Tuhan.
Akan terhibur dan berbahagialah mereka, walaupun tidak jadi ratu cantik
dunia, presiden ataupun perdana menteri ataupun women gladiator.
Bisikkan ke telinga mereka bahwa kelembutan bukan suatu kelemahan.
Itu bukan diskriminasi Tuhan.
Sebaliknya di situlah kasih sayang Tuhan, karena rahim wanita yang
lembut itulah yang mengandung-kan lelaki2 wajah: negarawan, karyawan,
jutawan dan wan-wan lain
Tidak akan lahir superman tanpa superwoman.
Wanita yang lupa hakikat kejadiannya, pasti tidak terhibur dan tidak menghiburkan.
Tanpa ilmu, iman dan akhlak, mereka bukan saja tidak bisa diluruskan,
bahkan mereka pula membengkokkan.
Lebih banyak lelaki yang dirusakkan oleh kaum perempuan…daripada
perempuan yang dirusak oleh laki-laki…
Sebodoh-bodoh perempuan pun boleh menundukkan sepandai-pandainya lelaki.
Itulah akibat apabila wanita tidak kenal Tuhan.
Mereka tidak akan kenal diri mereka sendiri, apalagi mengenal lelaki.
Kini bukan saja banyak boss telah kehilangan secretary, bahkan anakpun
akan kehilangan ibu, suami kehilangan isteri
dan bapak akan kehilangan puteri .
Bila wanita durhaka dunia akan huru-hara.
Bila tulang rusuk patah, rusaklah jantung, hati dan limpa.
Para lelaki pula jangan hanya mengharap ketaatan tetapi binalah kepemimpinan.
Pastikan sebelum memimpin wanita menuju Allah, pimpinlah diri sendiri
dahulu kepada-Nya.
Jinakkan diri dengan Allah, nescaya jinaklah segala-galanya dibawah pimpinan kita.
Jangan mengharap istri seperti Siti Fatimah,
Kalau pribadi belum lagi seperti Sayidina Ali.
(ps. Mohon maaf saya belum berhasil menemui sumber asli, dan penulis asli dari tulisan indah ini….
semoga hikmah, keberkahan dan aliran pahala senantiasa mengalir kepada sang penulis… kerana maknanya yang cukup dalam…. )

5 voices
I had a private minum2 session wit 2 frens and one of em happened to be Azan Ruffedge. During the chat we had a loads of good conversation especially bout how to improve our life. There were a few topics that we shared personally and I had asked a few questions to them since they are all almost a decade older than me and one of the question was how to control my anger? How to manage my anger and turn something negative into a positive vibe. I always get a new answer for such questions but this new answer made me feel like sharing to you guys sebagai satu cara utk muhasabah diri
Basically there are 5 suara yang boleh kita dengar dalam diri kita sebelum kita membuat keputusan. Its just the same like music, in order for you to make the music sound good, you need to equalize and mix every instrumentation and vocals accordingly so that it would sound smooth. So same goes to these 5 things im about to share
1. Ayahanda ( suara aqal) - Ayah memainkan peranan di dalam satu keluarga. Ayah nie ketua keluarga dan tindakannya selalu based on rational. Kalau nafsu mula nak buat perangai, suara aqal harus memastikan nafsu terus senyap.
2. Bonda (perasaan) - Fitrah ibu, selalunya suara nie yang lebih emosi dan cepat kecik hati. Selalunya ibu sering kecik hati dengan anak2. Ibu nie juga mempunyai sifat2 pemaaf. Jadi kalau kita sering kecik hati, kuatkan sket suara aqal :)
3. Abglong (fikiran) - Ciri2 along nie kuat bertanya. Dia akan tanya kenapa itu dan kenapa ini? Kalau dia silap tanya, dan bertanya kepada orang yg salah seperti adik bongsu, makanya nafsu akan mengawal dirinya.
4. Angah (hati) - Angah nie merupakan tindakan ataupun perlaksanaan based on suara mana yg lebih kuat. Jaga hati lantas kita akan melakukan perkara2 yg betul dan bukan mengikut nafsu amarah. Untuk menjaga hati, kita harus menjaga pertuturan, penglihatan, fikiran dan pendengaran insyaALLAH hati kita bersih tanpa virus :)
5. Bongsu (nafsu) - Kita juga perlukan nafsu tetapi nafsu harus di EQ cantek agar suara adik bongsu nie tidak melebihi perintah ayahandanya. Jadi setiap kali rasa nak marah, rasa nak makan during ramadhan (hehe), kuatkan sket suara aqal
Dalam erti kata music pula, these 5 things need to be equalised and mixed accordingly. Mana yg harus dikuatkan dan mana yg harus diperlahankan. Aku plak memang lebih senang utk berbicara dalam konteks music. Tapi dalam konteks kekeluargaan yg lebih mendalam, lebih aqal iman menjelma, lebih nafsu syaitan mai dulu....
Till then :)

Brand new life
Basically kalau korang tanya aku what's up wit me now, I would say aku tgh berehat and trying to change my life. I ve been going through the same routines for ages and as much as I enjoy them i would also admit that it comes to the point yg memang meletihkan otak. I had a private discussion with my superior at the office and she mentioned to me to follow my heart. She told me to do what i feel like doing, follow my dream and do the things I'm passionate about...
So now i ve been sleeping at whatever time i want and i wake up when i feel like waking up. Im currently setting up my own business and i realised that aku nie memang tak boleh keje bawah orang. Cukup2lah keje bertahun2 bawah orang now its time for me to move on. I wanna focus more towards my life and how im living it. Antaranya aku nak pegi gym and workout puas2, benda yg memang aku nak buat lama but time was the main restriction.
My personal love is changing. My business is changing. My love life is changing.
And my music too.......................................definitely

Why does god create 24 hours a day but not 25 ?
Last week was pretty much tight. I started off with an emotionally week and ended with a hell of a busy weekend.
Last minute dateline forced me not to sleep for straight 72 hours. I had to complete one song for upcoming Grand Brilliance movie film that will be released somewhere in November. When they called me up that time, i was soooo stressed because i knew there's no way i could complete such act within 3 days. Adding to that, I had also arranged my scheduled accordingly and i knew it was rather impossible because i already have a busy weekend, thus this project will give me more headache...
Then another project came in. This project was off the hook i had to grab it not just for the achievements but for the whole experience myself.One of the big shot organization called and arranged a meeting wit me. They appointed me to be the music director for a live performance. Eventhough i had such tight schedule, I knew I couldnt let this go as it will give me a diiferent perspective of music and performing arts as a whole
Then I had to submit another song to RTM. They organized a competition nantionwide to come out wit a patriotic song based on a few criteria.Looking at the first prize, I knew i couldnt let it go too. So i recorded the music and manage to complete it on time..
Now i got the answer why does god create 24 hours a day but not 25 ?. Its all about time management...
Then comes 'SENORITAS'

I'm happy because.............
- My housing loan has been approved. That means 2011 i have my own service apartment
- I just bought another semi-D house. It's a 3 storey house with 6 rooms and 6 bathrooms plus a swimming pool. Hopefully they approve my loan too
How low can i go?
Its always been me. Aku yg buat itu aku yg buat ini. Bila semua give up aku jugak yg nak tarik sorang2. Aku jugak yg kecik hati. Aku jugak yg kena stay strong. Aku jugak yg kena bgtau semua orang we doing it for passion. Apa aku takde perasaan ke? Aku kena jaga hati semua orang and biar makan hati sorang2. Sampai bila aku nak kena buat benda nie? Aku takde keje lain ke nak buat.
Commonlah tuhan jadikan masalah supaya ianya diselesaikan. Bukan suruh duduk and termenung dibelenggu masalah. Tuhan suruh kita muhasabah diri sbb yang baik datang darinya yg tak baik tu datang dari kau dan mungkin juga aku. Apa aku takleh rasa give up ke just because i look like im strong. Aku takleh kecik hati dan menangis ke just because i potray myself as being firm. Whats gonna happen kalau aku yg kuat dulunya skang rasa fed up dan quit from doing things...
Now you witness.....
How about a round of applause to the new upcoming star

Kisah cinta mamak
Malam semalam aku memang betul2 lapar tahap gaban sbb aku tak makan sepanjang hari. Just ratah ayam sket2 je dekat studio tadi. So lepas aku login kat office, terus aku inform kawan sepejabat aku yg aku nak pegi makan kat luar. Cyberjaya apa ader malam2 buta nie. So aku decide pegi mamak yg berhampiran, Hassan Café namanya….
Kat mana aku makan atau pukul berapa aku makan apa itu bukanlah penting sgt utk aku berkongsi tapi alang2 dah menulis so aku citerlah. Sambil aku makan nasi puteh lauk ayam dan ikan yg tak berapa sedap, sambil aku menolak makanan berulamkan air teh O ais, aku perhatikan ader seorang mamat yg lalu depan melintasi meja aku terus duduk kat meja sebelah aku, yg pada waktu itu ader sorang pompuan….
So sambil aku makan aku perhatikan gelagat mereka dua orang nie. Lelaki tersebut aku rasa lebih kurang 30-an berpakaian uniform driver bas lah aku rasa. Wanita tersebut plak mukanya kacukan india melayu mamak mungkin anak mami sebab aku dapat dengar loghat orang penang dia. Umur barangkali 20 an dan berbadan sedap.Yang menarik minat aku utk lebih memerhatikan diorang nie adalah tiba2 wanita tersebut hidangkan kek kecik utk lelaki itu di tengah mamak yg bising, yg mana aku rasa mesti malam tu besday dia. Dan cara wanita tu tgk lelaki tersebut memang aku kompim pompuan nie tgh dilamun cinta. Lelaki tu plak cakap dengan dia lemah lembut, malah tidak sedikit pun menunjukkan gesture segan ataupun malu dia kena potong dan tiup kek kecil di tengah2 kesibukan mamak
Buat aku terfikir seketika. Alangkah indahnya kalau kita berkasih sayang macam pasangan tersebut. Aku taktau apa hubungan mereka. Mungkin pasangan cinta. Mungkin anak dengan bapak. Mungkin jugak adik angkat ngan abg angkat. Kebarangkalian tu memang banyak tapi itu bukan point dia. Apa yg aku nak simpulkan ialah rasa seronok apabila kita menyayangi dan disayangi
The fact that wanita tersebut bawa kek ke mamak adalah sgt sweet. When was the last time we were sweet? Ada diantara kita yg masih malu utk melakukan benda2 sweet nie dengan pasangan kita dan ada yg mengaku there are not a sweet person. Bagi aku itu semua tidak penting sbb bila kita bercinta kita memang secara automatic akan menjadi seorang yg lebih sweet berbanding ketika bujang. Cara mereka berinteraksi diantara satu sama lain membuatkan aku yg memerhatikan diorang plak cukup tenang. Benarlah bila orang cakap kalau bercinta nie memang diorang dalam dunia diorang sendiri..
Its amazing that masa aku makan tu aku belajar byk benda daripada meja sebelah aku. Yang penting seronok dalam bercinta, Keseronokan tu penting dalam suatu pertalian. Kita tanya diri masing2, berapa lama kita dah tak rasa seronok bercinta. Dan seseronok mana pun bercinta, perasaan tu takkan sama dengan perasaan mula mula bercinta. It’s a fact yg ramai dah miss out. No matter how long we’ve been in a relationship, its not just about loving and being loved, its about falling in love everyday…..
Jangan bagi ruang untuk benda2 negatif mengawal hubungan masing2. Kalau boleh cuba halang benda2 seperti iri hati, cemburu, marah, nafsu, penipuan, curang dalam relationship. Cherish every moment with your partner. Cinta nie perlu disemai. Pokok pun kena baja dan disiram selalu. Apatah lagi soal hati :)
Setelah selesai menghisap rokok (after meal routine) aku pun beredar
‘Love is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship. It ain’t a destination but it’s a journey’

Paintball
Mula2 aku skeptical pasal game nie. Ramai dah member2 aku ajak main paintball tapi aku rasa macam tak best plak. So bila kawan2 kat office aku ajak, aku macam tak berapa excited sangat tapi masih tak menolak sbb member. Pastu main plak awal pagi sabtu dekat Kuang, that means aku kena bgn pukul 7, just to reach there on time. Memang satu perkara yg menyiksakan….
Tapi lepas pakai seluar loreng askar, pakai mask dan ader senapang kat tangan, terus layan macam aku betul2 tengah berperang. Bezanya kalau perang betul aku dah lama mati sbb aku memang kena tembak beberapa kali, dan penatnya ya ampun tak payah cakap. Pancit giler macam nak mati...
Aku akan main lagi. Kali nie lagi cun with more tactical strategies

Sime Darby Housing Promotion
Cousin aku call haritu bagitau Sime Darby came out with a good promotion. It is called ‘ Parade Of Home’. The promotion applies to all project under the company regardless of the location. So bila aku free haritu aku drop by dekat one of their gallery in Melawati.
Promotion dia memang best. First, you get to pay installment for your 10% deposit. That means let say the house is RM 200 k, you get to pay the deposit which is 20 k slowly dalam masa setahun beransur- ansur. Owh common that is already a good deal. Orang melayu muda mana yg mampu nak keluarkan sedepuk that amount of money nak nak plak time gawat nie. Lepas tu tak perlu bayar interest sebab the company akan bayar sampai rumah siap. Let say rumah siap 2012 that means tiga tahun tak payah bayar interest. And bila dah siap they will pay an amount of rebate cash. Pretty good deal for me. So korang apa kata pegi usha Sime Darby punya nearest showroom. Sebab the promotion ends this mid of June. Mana tau korang interested kan?
I definitely was interested. That’s why I got myself one service apartment :)

Properties
I want more. After all I have achieved so far I still think that its not enough. Apart from earning a pretty good salary at the end of the month, performing on stage, producing artiste in the studio and writing songs, I still think that there are more to life than this. My initial plan was to set up my own cyber café business. But after going thru a loads of discussions, and even after the proposal was completed I planned to backout due to recession, the high risk with big capital. Then suddenly I came across something else….
Property. I’m in love with houses, high-rise, landed and even shophouses. I think by having a property you are having another active income. Its either you own a business, or you become a CEO of an MNC then only you can feel secure of your future. And I opted for investment. And I see by having a property of your own, you can never go wrong as the capital appreciates eventhough recession is kinda bad nowdays
And its my dream to have my own house by this year. Let’s see if I can achieve that :)

Mawar, Perkasa, Jaguh, Berduri,
Latest update is I just worked recently with Mawar Berduri of Ahli Fiqir. Lagu apa? Haaa tu nanti korang tunggulah ye………….
Shows, shows and shows
Times are so bad right now. We are working our ass off not just to record but to maintain our amount of shows. The payment for shows usually will be divided to 5 and a small portion of it will go to our production. That’s why we need more shows, and that’s why we are against all of this illegal download. Download legally guys. Don’t be a thief !!!
Anyway, the much anticipated INF showcase was held end of last month at Laundry. The preparation was kinda intensive too. I personally like the aura of the show, not just the performance itself but the whole journey including the preparation as well. Everybody was excited to perform and when the time comes we were all prepared and didn’t think too much. Just go with the flow like how I picture it would be. Souful vocal, keys, stool and mic. That’s it. That night we covered Al Green, Brian Mcknight, BoyzIIMen, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Robin Thicke, Innuendo. We even had a duet with Nadia Luscious…sweet :)
Right after the show, we got back at wee hours, packed our stuff, went to KLIA and head north to Kota Bharu. The flight was less than an hour and we reached Kelantan around 9 am (without sleep but with breakfast huhu). Checked in the hotel, had a few hours nap and in the evening we had to wake up for the soundcheck. Yes, not even after 24 hours of our last show, now we are singing again for TV9 SuaRasa without a proper sleep and rest. Not to mention our vocals were already exhausted due to last night show.
Saturday we got up early to sing again. We have an appearance early in the morning for a talk show but it feels good to appear back on TV. Then slightly later in the evening after lunch, we manage to sleep for awhile before taking a flight back to KL. Ain’t complaining but you guys have no idea how tiring it was for us during this 3 days. And AIM was 3 just hours to go…

Diamond - Kraft feat Luscious and Uncle Sam
Im currently in d midst of producing one track for Kraft first single called ' Diamond'. By far Kraft is the best Rapper i've ever worked with and damn his bloody good with freestyle and beatbox. You probably wonder who is Uncle Sam. Dont be. He is the one wearing songkok :)
Valentines at Bangkok Jazz
On Valentine’s day, when other people are spending times with their loved ones, I prefer watching Luscious performed at Bangkok Jazz. And boy I have to tell you, I’m impressed with them. They had 2 sets all by themselves. They showed some good vocals, tight harmonies and the crowd was crazy because of them. And these are all purely hardwork. I witness them grow as a performer this 2 years and they really believed in practicing. No wonder people can claim them the best Rn’B female trio in Malaysia now…
Its an honour working with them. They are truly a good friend, whom I love being with and at the same time they compromise a lot when it comes to work. They are brilliant and they did justice to my song ‘Khabarkan’. The song is now heavy rotation in most of the radio station, in fact in Indonesia as well. I was even informed that it was played in the airplane during one of the flight. That means the song is now travelling really fast all around the globe. I guess they are really looking forward to more potential business. I waited almost 3 years to search who’s gonna sing the song. And from my heart, I realised that I cant see nobody else singing that song but them…
For ya’ll haters out there, I sincerely hope you listen to their tracks, checkout their video’s at youtube and enjoy the music. The problem with us being Malaysian is when we see 3 young ladies, we assume that they are just another beautiful faces. Don’t be. Blind yourself but listen to their vocal. Get in the mood and hear how they carry those songs. While producing them, I was given the chance and grew to become a better musician. Thus I hope when you listen, grow as a listener and always think positive.
And then, tell all your friends. Khabarkan pada semua J

I was even informed that it was played in the airplane during one of the flight. That means the song is now travelling really fast all around the globe. I guess they are really looking forward to more potential business. I waited almost 3 years to search who’s gonna sing the song. And from my heart, I realised that I cant see nobody else singing that song but them…
For ya’ll haters out there, I sincerely hope you listen to their tracks, checkout their video’s at youtube and enjoy the music. The problem with us being Malaysian is when we see 3 young ladies, we assume that they are just another beautiful faces. Don’t be. Blind yourself but listen to their vocal. Get in the mood and hear how they carry those songs. While producing them, I was given the chance and grew to become a better musician. Thus I hope when you listen, grow as a listener and always think positive.
And then, tell all your friends. Khabarkan pada semua J

My personal thought on Sunburst
Sunburst tahun lepas kitorang tak perform. We were busy doing our tours and promotions for our singles that the schedules were all clashed up. Diorang mintak kitorang perform but the deal was to split half with Najwa, pretty much because Najwa is in our ‘ Ada Masa’ track. But it doesn’t feel right to take her slots and I had to make the decision of letting go and focus on this year.
So I approached almost everybody that I know off. I met the CEO of Pineapple personally. Came to his office and passed Luscious and Infinatez song. And that was last year. Now this year I met them once again. Contacted almost everybody. When we performed at Sepang we even chat again. Siap jumpa Jennifer Thomson of Recording Industry of Malaysia. I mailed our cd’s to Singapore and Indonesia just to perform in Mosaic and JavaJazz. Called them straight from my mobile. Emailed them. And guess what?
We were not selected for all Sunburst, Mosaic and Javajazz…..sigh
Aku tak paham. First of all aku tak paham kenapa lineup Sunburst macam tu? The moment they announced the performers, almost everbody that I know who bought the ticket wanted to sell it back again. I surveyed everywhere and go online, and I noticed people were frustrated with the line ups. And aku tak salahkan diorang. From my point of view, Sunburst sama je macam gig2 di Lembah Klang. Tiada bezanya dengan Jomheboh yg hanya mempromosikan artis2 terkenal sahaja. Bagi aku, Sunburst ader class dia tersendiri. Its a music festival so diorang kena masukkan segala macam muzik Urban di Malaysia yg boleh diketengahkan di antarabangsa. Sunburst main peranan utk memajukan lagi industri kita. Just because the radios are playing Indie music, doesn’t mean 90% of the lineup should be bands. Mana jazz, Rnb, Hiphop dan sebagainya. Kalau ader pun apalah sgt compared to all the bands yg ratanya orang2 baru…
I wanna make it clear not that Im against the band tapi bagi aku ader lagi genre2 music lain yg patut diberi keutamaan dan pada masa yg sama can attract and relate to more crowd. When I spoke to one of the committee, they said memang tahun nie diorang terima banyak sgt pernyertaan, which is I think fair enough lah. Tapi bila aku baca performers dia, it looks like they are running out of performers to pick.
Naturally 7 performed. Im a big fan of them because Infinatez pun RnB dan acapella jugak. And guess what ader another group did opening for them. Aku rasa sgt ralat sbb tak buat opening utk diorang. Infinatez dah perform in front of 50 000 crowd. We deserve to perform with them. Name me another tight acapella group in KL. We can do one hour of acapella show and people know us and yet orang lain yg aku tak pernah kenal, tak pernah tau their existence yg perform. Its not that Im against them (diorang pun kawan aku jugak), but Im against this stupid and politics when it comes to showbiz
Well aku still datang malam tu lah. Just wanted to experience the event. But honestly Sunburst sucks. Erykah Badu tak dapat datang. Coldplay tak turun. And the lineup sucks…
Aku berkarya dan aku perlukan sokongan drpd semua pihak. Macam mana artis dan penggiat seni Malaysia nak survive kalau organizer dan radio banyak sgt memilih dan tak pandai membezakan good music and garbage?

Christians can use ALLAH?
My fella muslims, i came thru one article the other day and got myself into thinking. Nevertheless, you may go to the link below and read it for yourself.

Geng Pengembaraan
Dalam pada sibuk bekerja, aku sempat juga meluangkan masa tgk movie2 terbaru. Banyak jugaklah yg aku tengok. Tapi aku rasa aku nak rekomen korang satu citer nie. Tajuk dia adalah Geng pengembaraan yg ader 2 budak kecik yg sangat annoying namanya Upin dan Ipin
For those yg memang lead a hectic life dan sentiasa busy macam aku, I highly recommend this movie for you guys to really unwind. Jalan cerita nie memang best yg membolehkan korang reminisce zaman bebudak korang. Lawak dia plak memang jenis lawak melayu yg kelakar giler. Animation dia memang terbaik dan aku sgt bangga ngan diorang. Malah penataan bunyi diorang pun memang cun bila aku tgk dekat wayang..
The best things is movie nie berkisar mengenai tanah tumpah darah kita Malaysia. Dari cara bercakap, kepada budaya kita yg berbilang bangsa dan kaum, kepada buahan2 tempatan, transportasi awam dan macam macam lagi. Go and watch the movie. Support karya orang kita..macam yg selalu aku cakaplah…

I’m the only ‘Believer' now
Still standing. Eventhough Im alone im still standing. That was what happened recently when 2 of my business partners decided to quit leaving me alone handling the business. At first I was sad. But life has to go on. I still believe. And right now I’m the only believers surviving
I managed to wrapped up a few songs this couple of weeks. The journey was uneasy for me but it was fun. Two of my client’s songs are now mastered and completed. More projects are coming in. I got to close a few deals as well and in fact I’m starting to produce album pretty soon. The meeting will be next week and I’m hoping to cut the deal and do straight up music by then..
I’m also happy that I wrote one song for the school I went previously. A teacher from MRSM Terendak called asking for an anthem song that will be played over and over, and I did all the producing as well. The song is called ‘ Generasi’ and was written by Eenaz from Luscious. Im happy. At least I contribute to my fella juniors in high school :)

INFINATEZ proudly present HINONGGO
Hello friends!!
I am very2 excited to announce that we (Infinatez) will be releasing our new single this very month!! Our new song is a special Sabah release and Sabah V fm will be the first to play it on air. The title of this new song is "Hinonggo" which is the KadazanDusun word for "Where" or "Di Mana". When exactly will it be premiered on Sabah radio you ask? Don't worry, we'll update you very2 soon.
Infinatez's acapella rendition of "Sayang Kinabalu" was our first step to show our appreciation to our family, friends and fans in Sabah. This time we go deeper by singing a new song that is entirely in KadazanDusun language. Now what about that? ^_^ Hinonggo is a ballad soul song. Originally written by our talented friend Reuben Raymond aka Fingerstylo. Music arranged by the brilliant Rafik of Rafikoncept which is the same person who arranged "Ada Masa".
I'm not gonna write a lot about the song itself, but all I can say is we've put a lot of effort in it. Maybe it is safe to say that you never heard a KadazanDusun song like this. Many of you may not understand the lyrics, but we hope you can enjoy it as much as you enjoy listening to Japanese, Filipino, Spanish and Korean songs etc. It may have some Boyz 2 Men sound(quoting Illegal and G from Platinum Studios), and at some point you might think that you're listening to a Japanese or a Filipino song, but at the end of the day, that is Infinatez you're listening to ^_^. The vocals and the harmonies, we hope you'll enjoy it.
Well, ckp banyak pun no use ^_^ Just listen to it this month!! Now Sabah, are you ready??

Our shows
Dah lama sgt aku tak bercerita pasal show Infinatez. Bukan saje show, aku pun macam dah kurang nak ada masa menulis sangat. Nak tulis panjang2 pun malas. So I’d rather wrapped things up and buat rumusan aku sendiri
GuaMuzik.com launch – a good show. Best sebab kitorang perform dgn Joe Flizzow. The moment kitorang naik stage je bukak suara bagi sepam harmony, penonton kat depan semua dah tersenyum sambil mengangguk kepala tanda terhibur. Yg tak bestnya, event nie masuk Melody, kenapa suara kitorang ader tapi muka kitorang tak keluar :) politik lagi…
Malaysian Youth Festival – tempat yg sama tapi hari yg berlainan. Apparently festival tu yg terbesar utk remaja so memang ramai yg hadir. Lagi syok sbb kitorang perform ngan member2 jugak. Najwa dan Luscious pun perform. Yg tak syoknya kena bangun pagi, and tempat tu bising, so orang tak dapat nak layan sgt ….
RTM rebranding – nie memang best. Ramai plak yang hadir termasuk orang2 besar RTM malahan performers pun ramai haritue antaranya Luscious dan Estranged yg sempat aku ingat. Ader 2 sebab kenapa aku suka show nie. First kitorang perform paparazzi dgn Altimet. He actually did his own rap for us. Thank you so much bro. Best giler dia rap. 2nd sbb turun stage je terus dapat payment...huhuhu
Hari Wilayah – bunyi macam best, tapi bila kitorang datang tak ramai yg hadir pada hari tu . Stage yg kitorang perform agak terpencil, membuatkan kami terpaksa menyanyi syok sendiri di hadapan kanak kanak riang yg lebih menghargai harmony kami. Dahlah kitorang kena tunggu lama giler, show dok asyik postponed, then habis show hujan lebat. Hai…sampai begitu sekali :(
Annexe – Best best best. Eventhought its not really our show, but we were treated and we actually performed like our own show. Show nie showcase for Imran Ajmain dan dia jemput Infinatez, Atilia dan Shazzy (sexaphonist) sebagai artis undangan. Something about this show yg membuatkan aku rasa sgt senang. Maybe sbb crowd dia yg sgt supportive dan best. Lagipun its an intimate show…ehem ehem….
Momogun – thanks to Alvin, Infinatez skang nie antara artis yg sering dipanggil untuk menjayakan undangan dari Sabahan. Momogun antaranya. Tahun nie saje dah 2 kali kitorang perform utk diorang. Show dekat Armada, food was good, chicks was hot. What more could I say ?
CSR private event – untuk sesiapa yg tak tau CSR adalah pengeluar gula terbesar di Malaysia. So hari tu memang ader ramai performers, in fact bebudak from AF pun ader. Kitorang perform a few songs, siap nyanyi anthem lagu diorang acapella lagi. I personally think we Infinatez gave justice to their anthem song if you know what I mean…
Sepang International Circuit – kitorang perform ngan Luscious hari tu. Soundsystem best. Mic best. Sound engineer best. Stage best. Monitor best. Yg tak bestnya tgh2 nyanyi aku boleh tersilap running bass membuatkan bebudak berhenti acapella. Pergh !! tak pernah terjadi nie…tension makanya…..
The Apartment – disebabkan performance yg tak berapa cun dekat Sepang, aku ngan Alvin boleh terjebak nyanyi waktu Luscious tgh perform dekat Apartment. Sebenarnya bukanlah perform, kitorang sebenarnya tgh syok menonton show diorang when they suddenly called me and Alvin to sing on stage. Apa lagi aku terus bersajak dan Alvin plak terus ad lib macam takde hari esok. Ketagihan kot kita nie bro
Till then…I will update you guys on our performance…..

Noryn Aziz
Last 2 weeks me and my brotherhood friends (not related to music) went to Alexis to watch Noryn Aziz performed. I actually tried calling them for an early reservation but unfortunately the booking was full. The last time we went, I had to stand the entire show. So this time around memang tekad nak datang awal to have a place to sit.
Me, Nadia and Eenaz came early for dinner, then later joined by Khairul, Yati, Farid and Ruzana. After much struggle we manage to convince the manager and got ourselves a table. Noryn performed two sets, and had a short interval in between. Well as for me I enjoyed the performance but halfway I got so bored. I dunno whether or not the show was too long, or the table beside us was too drunk and noisy, but I seem not to enjoy the show that night compared to the level of enthusiasm I had before I go. I even remember how thrilled I was when I watched her last year….
Luscious and Alvin has performed in Laundry Bar. Luscious is performing again in Bangkok Jazz this Valentine. Najwa has been performing at this kinda places too. And after we performed in Annexe last 2 months, I guess Infinatez should try and get this kinda crowd as well now. Something worth trying right?
Well Noryn and Atilia, ya’ll better get ready sis :)

Hinonggo and it’s story
Infinatez masing2 sedang bergiat aktif. Di samping melaksanakan jemputan show dan promosi sana sini yg macam tak pernah berahir, kitorang jugak baru selesai dengan proses rakaman lagu terbaru kami.

JB kampung halamanku
Aku nie senantiasa sibuk. Sepanjang masa ader saje benda nak buat kadang2 aku lupa nilai persahabatan dan keluarga. Kekadang aku kena betul2 plan dan set appointment just utk lepak ngan member2 lama aku. Dan aku plak dah lama tak balik jenguk nenek aku kat JB. So Isnin haritue aku main blah je, amek cuti dua hari utk spend time ngan dia. Kalau nak tunggu bila aku free memang sampai lebamlah. So aku drive balik kampong for the first time.
Aku balik dgn Nadia dan Nadira, so faham2 jelah perjalanan haritue riuh rendah macam nak balik raya plak. Diorang plak balik Batu Pahat nak surprise bapak dia, sebab bapak dia punya birthday hari tue. So aku drop diorang then, lepas jamah makanan sket aku bertolak ke JB ikut jalan dalam. Aiyoo !!! Pening owh.
Tapi I had fun. Im glad I made that decision of coming back home eventhough for 3 days. Dapat jugak rasa borak2 ngan tok aku, dan sempatlah bawak dia dinner dekat Bandar Tua (OldTown Coffee)
Now I’m back to reality, ready to work :)

Chillis and 'Inkheart'
A few days back, me, Nadia and Lynnz when out for a date. Well it wasn’t a date actually, it was just a night full of Chillis and movie…:)
Siang tu I was at Astro servicing and promoting Luscious new single. I met the Music Director for Era, XFM (formerly known as Xfresh), Sinar and THR. Thanks to Lynzz who was actually our tour guide there. Then petang tu I fetched Nadia at Puduraya. She was from JB. She came all the way from Johor just for Chillis and the movie. Can you believe it?
I’ve always wanted to treat this close frens of mine for helping me and my music throughout the years. Sepatutnya Phizy pun join, but last minute he had to take care of her mother. So we proceed only the three of us. Makan punya la nak giler, I wacked until I felt like my tummy was bloated and almost explode. We chill and talked for an hour also before watching ‘Inkheart’.
Well I had fun. Thanks lynnz for the tix ya’. Perhaps we could do it again?

10 most influential Malaysian albums
InsyaAllah dalam masa beberapa bulan akan datang you’ll be seeing more of us Infinatez and Luscious. We might be coming out with our own material. I cant wait to produce and be in the studio again. And after reading this article below, I have a better perspective of album production. When you read it, you’ll notice why I mentioned it earlier, and why people recognize them. They set standard, and I’m proud to share it with you guys. Well now I need to trace these albums one by one and start listening to them back.

VIMA Awards 2009
I remember writing about ‘Voice Independent Malaysian Awards’ back then. And it happened on Saturday 17th (which is last week) at Titanium club in Damansara
I was kinda excited to be there mainly because I got hooked up to 6 nominations. ‘Ada Masa’ that was published under TWBR, written by Alvin MY and 'Khabarkan' by Luscious that was produced by me was nominated as best pop song. Both group were also nominated as best pop group. DNA(blastoff group) another hiphop acts under my production was also nominated for best HipHop song. And on top of that, I was nominated as best producer for ‘Khabarkan’ too :)
One thing that is very interesting about the award is that they acknowledge the independent artiste/musician. They know how the business runs nowdays, and being independent is like having a total control of your own music. Its about freedom to express and experiment new stuff. They have also announced they gonna organize the first asian independent awards later in the middle of the year. How cool is that?
VIMA was very interesting though. First of all they were no dress code. Spoke to Siva and he said just come and bring yourself. And I even read at the website, they mention ‘whatever you do, do not come with your best outfit’. So me and my boys just came wearing something casual and ordinary, and later met a few over there. And the best part is, everybody knows each other. Its like a gathering where all musicians and artiste regardless of their genre, get together for one spectacular evening. The event was dope, the people were friendly, the MC was hilarious and I totally enjoyed the performances. Kudos to Voice for organizing the events !!!
Alhamdulillah, of all the 6 nomination, I managed to bagged 2 awards though. ‘Ada Masa’ and ‘Khabarkan’ both won the best pop song that night. To me, I’m more than happy to even get myself nominated for that award. Considering that I’m still new in the industry, I thank god that people acknowledge and realize my passion for music :)

Laundry Bar, Luscious, Alvin INF
Khamis 15hb haritu aku pergi tengok Luscious perform dekat Laundry Bar. Diorang perform sekali dengan member aku Alvin INF. Walaupun aku agak tak larat sebab letih dan tak cukup tido beberapa hari, aku tetap gagahkan diri tengok diorang perform. Nak support sket diorang nie, dahlah aku produce semua lagu diorang..:)
Overall the show memang cun. Luscious memang did their homework and really performed. Diganding plak dgn guitarist serba boleh macam Alvin, yg bukan sahaja bermain guitar tetapi pada masa2 tertentu menyumbangkan suara dengan kadar soul yg maksima, membuatkan aku terpana seketika. Diorang nyanyi selama sejam, and aku sebagai penonton memang puas sgt sbb kali nie konsep diorang menyanyi, menyanyi, menyanyi. No hanky panky, ditambah plak dgn adlib yg macam orang kena meroyan, memang perfect sebagai perencah malam tu.
Aku plak dapat merasa lagi satu experience yg bagi aku best. All this while aku menyanyi lagu sendiri dan produce orang. Hari nie aku duduk di bawah menonton member lain yg aku produce nyanyi depan mata aku dengan begitu soul. Perasaan yg paling best malam tu ialah bila diorang nyanyi lagu aku, crowd kat bawah nyanyi sekali mengiringi diorang. Best perasaan tu. Alhamdulillah aku bersyukur
Malam tu jugak merupakan harilahir CD single Luscious bertajuk ‘Khabarkan’
Enjoy the video. ‘Ada Masa’ by Luscious and Alvin INF

Happy New Year
Happy New Year
After so long of taking a break from writing, i decided to write again. Furthermore, how long can i rest from writing at my own page. I know there have been many if not tons of silent readers who now loves to read my blog. And i hope after this they would leave me some comments. hint hint !
Selamat tahun baru guys. I purposedly left my blog for some time to actually rest from everything. I took a break, recharge myself and at the same time figured out what is my next aim for 2009. As for me, 2008 was a good year, but im planning to make 2009 better than good. I bet ya'll have your new year resolution too. So whatever you choose to achieve this year, it better be bigger then last year. Aim higher ! I wanna be a better person, loving partner, good friend and an awesome songwriter for sure :)
Anyway countdown to new year was absolute fun. Me and my brotherhood was at Sunway partying till morning. Crowd was crazy and wild. Too bad now we are back to reality. Gotta work harder, and extra harder. sigh sigh sigh
Happy 2009 ya'll. Semoga tahun ini lebih diberkati dan tuhan membuka segala macam pintu rezeki yang halal untuk kita. Bless us !!!
