1001 Reasons - A Friendly Thought
Met up with an old friend the other day. He got wind about the music dream I'm pursuing and the core of our conversation became somewhat a Q&A session as to why I am pursuing something that he considered beyond wat I am capable off. It quickly turned into a "lecture" session. He peppered me with his 1001 reasons as to why I shouldn't stick with my plans of embarking on my music journey. Anyway, I wasn't willing to counter his arguments and just listen to him like a good boy. Anyway, I sat there unaffected.
Haha, I'll bet you guys been in this situation before. You wanted to pursue something you want but all you get are 1001 reasons why you shouldn't do it. So being a buddy you are, you followed up your friend's advice. Then soon enough, you're left feeling flustered as you've let the opportunities you're presented pass you by. All you have left know is the feeling of wonder....wondering wat the outcome is had you pursued the things you want.
So when is a friend,.... a friend? I believe that he/she is a friend when instead of preaching to you his/her 1001 reasons why you shouldn't be pursuing our dreams........He/She gives you 1 reason....offers to you 1 day...1 hr....1 minute...of his time......wateva amount of help he/she can accord to you all in the hope you can achieve your dream. That is a friend!
I'm delighted that I have more friends than friends. So to all my friends......give me a chance and let us be friends...Cheers!Labels: zaibaktian

His Road Trip
In August 2006, a subconscious decision to be involve in a singing competition proved to be the catalyst for a life-changing event in his life. Zai was offered a recording deal that fell through.
For more than eight months, this shy and taciturn amateur musician embarked on a journey of self-discovery and learning: to write, produce and sing, in his debut mini album “KeagunganMu” which was released on 1st September 2007.
A chance encounter with Yazri (Merah) a couple of months later was another turning point in his short music career. Together, they produced a radio single entitled “Lelaki Baru” which debuted on Ria 897FM on 1st September 2008. “Lelaki Baru” was a success and Zai achieved his 1st ever No 1 hit.
Z'Baks Bio
Zaibaktian is devoted to his family and friends first in his life. “One of the most important things that my family and friends has taught me is the value of love,” he says. In his music adventure, Zai explores love as it relates to the most important facets of his life: Family, friendship and faith.
“I started from scratch,” he says, “And the most valuable experience in that is being able to consult musicians with abilities that far surpassed my own to guide me in my music journey.”
On love & life being the major driving force for his music pursuits, Zai aspire to inspire:
“In life, love exist – between God and His creations, for a man and a woman, parents and children, and even between friends,” says Zai. “It is a powerful force, not for its own sake but for how it moves the people who love and the people who are loved.” For Zaibaktian, his music adventure thus far is the fulfillment of a dream and a definite breakthrough in achieving a lifelong dream.
