Poetry In Motion..
Did an opening performance on the 12th of January 2008. It was for a poetry event entitled 'Antara Eja Dan Lafaz' held at Bedok Library. Sang 2 songs: 'Keagungan Mu' & 'Dunia Yang Fana'. It was my first time singing in a poetry showcase and naturally I was feeling nervous. The audience was mainly made up by poetry enthusiasts and NUS students studying Sastera. Anyway, after the performance, sat down as the guests for the day, comprising of Rafaat Hamzah, Isa Kamari etc. Discussed about poetry in general and Rafaat's newly launched book ' Yang Bilang'. I must say the discussion was interesting. I've never attended anything involving poetry, theatre and such. I must say it was a pleasant surprise to discover something new. Looking forward to discovering more things in the coming months.Labels: isa kamari, poetry, rafaat hamzah, sastera, yang bilang, zaibaktian

Baik Skali!!
I was kind of bored at work so spent my time checking out my compamy's email. Being the slacker that I am, there was plenty for me to read though. Majority of those email had boring headers and naturally given the honour of being deleted. Anyway, one email stands out like a gem! It went like this....IT Tidak Relevan Diajar Dalam Bahasa MelayuWhy Dr. Mahathir insists on using English for math and science. Because globally people use the language as information and/or technology language at this moment. How dangerous it is if we were to use these words in Bahasa, especially in schools. See example below. hardware = barangkeras software = baranglembut joystick = batang gembira plug and play = cucuk dan main port = lubang server = pelayan client = pelanggan Try to translate this: ENGLISH : "That server gives a plug and play service to the clients using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client." BAHASA : "Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan." Hahaha...baik skali!!

My Song's On Radio.....At Last!
Really glad and relieved that my song dah pun berkumandang kat radio. Banyak sangat halangan nak dapat airplay kat radio...kembang terhalang...haha. Tapi alhamdulillah, one of the things tat I set out to do in the first place dah pun tercapai. Walau macam mana pun, kesilapan tetap terjadi. After Taman Cinta is played, the DJ will mention ' Nantikan kemunculan album terbaru beliau di Muzika Rekod'. Actually it should have been ' Dapatkan album terbaru beliau.......'. Tapi wateva it is, tetap silapaku lah. Bak kata P Ramlee "Lain kali cakap biar terang". I do hope that the listeners would like the song. Never mind the outcome from the radio airplay, I would still need to work even harder for my music and do an even better job next time round. Once again, I would like to express my sincere thanks for all the messages of encouragements from everyone upon listening to my song on air. Love u all!ZAIBAKTIAN ]|[ Tuesday, January 08, 2008

Embarking On A New Project
One of my goals in 2008 is to produce my full album. Been planning it as a follow up to my EP album. It will consist of new songs and the songs from my EP album, rearranged and repackaged. Preparation work dah start. Dah record pun 1 lagu. Sekarang masih seeking collaboration from other songwriters. Alhamdulillah, ada yg sudi bekerja dengan gua. Ada yg bagi dorang nye lagu2 kasi aku dengar. Minggu lepas, gua wif Rafiz and Mahd buat arrangement untuk satu lagu baru yg aku compose. Lagu yg berjudul 'Dunia Yang Fana'. Pendek kata, ini lagu peringatan buat gua dan semua. Mesej simple... 'the world's temporary' so do good things while you're still living in it. Arrangement yg aku buat simple jer. Tapi dah bergabung dgn lagi 2 kepala ni, rasa2 ada manfaatnya. Arrangement lebih kemas and lebih berkhasiat..haha...Overall, gua puas hati. Anyway, aku rasa it's a good start. Will continue working hard for the album...ZAIBAKTIAN ]|[ Tuesday, January 01, 2008
