Lama menghilang??
It's been so damn long since I updated my blog. The truth is I am struggling with managing my time. Searching the balance between family, job and music.
Now is the period of time where my job had entirely dominated my time. Leaving me with little to spare for family and music. Nasib baik family gua understand!
Tapi music gua...lagu-lagu gua...album gua....dorang leh understand ke?
Hahaha...luckily I've been through in life enough to know that there's always good times awaiting me at every turn of difficult moments in my life. Mesti mahu yakin, tawakkal dan banyak berdoa beb! Insyaallah.
So apa yg gua dah buat sejak lama menghilang dari dunia gob'blog' nie?
FAMILY
- Senang cakap, ada serba baru. Dengan bonus yg aku dapat, alhamdulillah...dapat aku tolong family sikit. Been out shopping most of the times. Revisited the lovely and 'weird' smelling Singapore Zoo. Doing wateva I can to make up lost time with them. With the help of my bros, gave the whole house fresh coats of paint. Voila! The home looks fresh after 7 long years.
MUSIC
- With help from Rafiz and Mahadir, I set out to convert one room in my house to be a music room. A practice and demo studio I would call it. The room has adequate tools for me and friends to create music basically. Electronic drumset, PA system and speakers, guitars, keyboard, mixer. All linked up to my recording program.
- Been doing music arrangements for songs in the new music room.
- Working on my full album. Still in the planning process. Learning from and seeking collaboration with other songwriters and industry professionals. Kena banyak brainstorming. Sekarang masih moving at slow pace. Hopefully arrangements lagu2 baru semua settled by end of January. Will begin re-recording the songs from my EP album next week.

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.
