Performance @ Mayuni Omar Music Cafe (24th May 2008)

I was delighted to have the opportunity to be performing again. The venue was kind of cozy....kind of up close and personal. Atmosphere was kind of laidback and casual. F&B was good and reasonably priced too. Wasn't feeling my best on performance day but the atmosphere helped. I could easily engage in casual banter with the crowd and I must say the response was superb! The attendees comprise of family, old frens and some new mates whom I met for the very 1st time. Best! I was backed up by Nazri on guitar, Bob on bass, Wan on keyboards and Hazan on percussions. Sad to say that I did not have any pics taken only some vids shown below. Check it out! I would like to express my thanks to everyone who had graced this event and I hope to be able to continue performing with your support! :)

My Best Friend's Wedding




1st May was a very special day indeed. Other than it being Labour Day (which means public holiday...tak applicable utk aku pasal aku keje shift) , it was to be Meraj's special day. His relationship with the ever sweet Rosmawati coming full circle on this very day. Words can't express how delighted I am. Years of ups and down...sekejap jadi....sekejap tak jadi...dan akhirnya menjadi!












Meraj's been a brother to me since our schooldays....been there thru every crucial stage of my life. He was my bestman at my own wedding...so it was fitting that I do the honour of being bestman on his special day.

I had arrived at Meraj's residence at 0900hrs. Seems everyone's there, friends and extended family included. Everyone's busy doing their final preparation. Meraj's getting all made up.....nak jadi
Raja lah kata kan....














We left his home around 1000hrs, all ready for the akad nikah ceremony to be held at 1100hrs. The wedding car was a BMW. Memandangkan kereta German memang efficient, kita telah sampai awal sangat. Maklumlah dari Bt Batok ke Yishun bukan jauh. So we let King Meraj layan perasaan kat dlm kreta sambil tunggu rakyat yg lain sampai.












Around 1045hrs, we slowly proceeded to the wedding area. As bestman, terpaksalah gua kena remind dia suruh jalan slow...mesti kena acknowledge rakyat kat kiri dan kanan dia.....hahaha.

Fast forward to the akad nikah....Meraj was quite relaxed while waiting for the kadi to arrive. Then kadi pun sampai...followed by a couple of speeches and paperwork signed.....came the moment of truth. Alhamdulillah, with a single lafaz they're officially husband and wife!








All in all, it was a wonderful experience being a bestman! It was the least I could do for my bro Meraj after all these years of friendship. Delighted at the honour!


















My family & I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Meraj & Wati on their happy wedding. Kalaulah korang ni artis...dah conferm wedding of the year!! Semoga berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat!
