A Day For Satay
I had another performance yesterday. This time it was for a birthday bash held for Anjung Aksara's pioneer member Zul (Medic). The venue was King Satay down at Clarke Quay. For those who don't know where it's at, Ministry of Sound (MOS) is just beside it. But man, I was lost upon reaching Clarke Quay....it's been ages since I last set foot there. Great place if you are looking for a night of fun. Anyway, it was a fun day getting to know members of my extended family. I sang 3 songs:- 'Keagunganmu' , 'Mawar Merah' & 'Taman Cinta'. Felt good to be performing again after a short break. I had Rafiz to accompany me on guitars onstage. I'm considering the place to do my album launch. The place has a nice layout and a laidback ambience to boot. Hmm...pending for now. To bro Zul (Medic)...happy birthday once again. Thanks for evrything you've done for me. Best wishes for your future!Labels: zaibaktian

Tweaks & Updates
Spent my time yesterday, tweaking my songs. Performed vocal takes.....guess i need lots of practice before my upcoming studio recording. Take care of my health more, cut down on the cigarettes, more physical exercise.....haha, i'm gaining weight as i speak.....somehow i love being chubby....hahaha A few days ago, Azlan mailed me a draft copy of the single cover he designed for me. Boy, i was impressed with it. Only needed minor tweaks and it'll be superb. My belated congrats to my bro and sis, Sham & Siti for their new bundle of joy. Haven't had the opportunity to visit them yet but I will soon... Zaid had proposed to me to perform at an upcoming dikir barat comp held at Kg Chai Chee CC on 22nd July. I guess 3 songs at most....keeping my fingers crossed on this one.Labels: zaibaktian

My Debut Album Part 1
Give me a hell yeah!! My dream of producing my own album is still on. Sure it's hard work but the experiences - the achievements and the mistakes - were well worth it. Picked up valuable lessons and pointers along the way. Still dreaming and looking forward to the day when I'm holding a copy of my debut album in my hands. I guess I'll be a proud man and will be grinning from ear to ear when the time finally comes. Hahaha... I've finished recording the tracks for all the songs in my upcoming album except for one. All's left now is for my vocal recordings followed by the mixing and mastering process. I haven't done very well for my previous vocal takes. So many reasons for that though...lack of practice, mic settings wasn't right for my vocal delivery.....maybe I'm just feeling insecure all of a sudden. I'll admit that I'm not wat u would call a technically gifted singer but I believe I've got great feel. Somehow, I just gotta do it.....instill more confidence in myself....let it all out! I've targeted the 1st week of July to be the period when my first single - 1st song of my upcoming debut album - will be up for airplay. Still a target for now but I'm still in with a chance of making it a reality. Entitled "Taman Cinta" (Garden of Love), it is a song about love and redemption.....2nd chances.....how true love elevates you to a better position...makes you a better person. Hope you guys will enjoy the song very soon!Labels: zaibaktian
