The Great Birthday Bash

Maybe it was a coincidence but my 33rd birthday (da tua aku nie...hehe) was celebrated for 3 days in 3 different ways. Thank you to everyone tat celebrated tis special day wif me. U have no idea how much it meant to me...u are in my hearts forever. :) To all who cared...i really appreciate all the gifts, messages, sms, emails, dedications, calls etc..thank you so much! :) So to honour those who shared this special occasion, let me recap the 3 days of bliss :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22nd of May (Saturday)

This day was Eja's birthday. Been discussing to celebrate our birthday together for some time already. Though we've not known each other for very long but i guess we just clicked...after all we are Geminis....Geminis rocks!! LOL Spent the day with Eja's family...it really felt like i have an extended family..they are just so nice and warm...Samsuri (Eja's hubby), Eza and Umi were dear people that i came across during this music adventure of mine. Anyway, we had the birthday celebration at Simpang Bedok Cash studio...biasalah sumer giler menyanyi...birthday babies mesti mau duet satu lagu....haha...then time to blow candles on the birthday cake!! after tat, we feasted on the cake and roti boyan courtesy of Mama M...baik skali!! after a few hours of singing...gosh, i'm so impressed with Samsuri's voice...sesungguhnya baik skali!! It was then the end of the nite. Upon leaving, saw Ian, Fitri along with Juraimi n wife having their supper at Tang Tea. Had a brief chat wif them. Thanks guys for the birthday wishes!! We then left for supper just across the road and soon it was time to go home. Thanks for giving me a ride home guys! :)

It was certainly a day to remember :) Little tat i noe there were more good things coming ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23rd of May (Sunday) The day i got punked! For weeks, Lyn had mooted the idea of creating a fanclub for me, an idea which i truly appreciates. So she and SV planned a meeting with me today to have dinner and discuss the idea. Eza also informed me that she's joining us later. So me, being the sporting one (haha..) was game for it. Supposed to meet them down at Hjh Esah Cafe around 6pm. I smsed Lyn that i'll be late and the meeting place was changed to Coffee Bean at Raffles Hospital. I arrived around 8pm and was met with 'delighted' faces of Lyn, SV and Joy. Nak blanja air, dorang tanak...so i suggested heading somewhere for dinner....then muncullah si Eza who proposed going to Mayuni Omar Cafe. Haha...so we went :) Imagine my surprise when we reached Mayuni Omar Cafe being greeted with so many familiar faces and I slowly realised that they had planned something for me....i'm definitely so touched...tak bleh angzz!! :) Memang tak boleh angkat beb.....dorang sumer aksyen tak tahu...boleh tanya lagi aku buat apa kat sini.....hehehe....then Ard came to the mic and announce that it was my birthday celebration. I didn't really know how to react then...mcm nak nangis beb! check out the vid here!! http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=85671311242 And since Eja was there too, we blew the candles together for the 2nd time! Then, performances galore by the guys... Mr Elmi Zulkarnain took to the stage and recited a poem he had penned specially for yours truly. I felt so honoured and it was one of the greatest birthday gift ever! All around me, i saw teary eyed faces as Elmi finished his recital with a rousing reception and applause. I was trying hard to control my tears and never in my lifetime had i ever expected to be honured tis way. Kudos bro Elmi!! :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Dia Seorang Seniman (Puisi Hari Jadi Zaibaktian) *** Seorang seniman akan terus mencari ilhamnya Meskipun gelita cuba menghambat mata Meskipun renyai atau lebat hujan menghambat langkah Hatinya dibiar liar Merayap dan merayau perlahan Mencari keindahan di sebalik desah Mengejar harapan di sebalik gelisah Seniman itu mula menulis Nota-nota dan kekata Baris-baris irama yang menemani suara Karyanya mula berkilau keemasan rembulan Berteman remang mega berbisik lirih Hati seninya bebas terbang tiada lagi tertindih Dia seorang seniman Yang percaya pada keikhlasan Sering mengajak insan seni lain Bersama berteduh dalam kedamaian Dalam gerimis duka dan cercaan Ketika terperangkap dan menggigil dalam kedingingan Seorang seniman sepertinya, Berkarya kerana cinta Pada keindahan, Pada kesenian, Pada kekeluargaan Dan semestinya pada kemanusiaan Dia bukan pengejar nama Dia pengungkap segala rasa Melukis biru rindu Mencoret merah dilema Mewarnai hari yang mula luntur dan pudar Dia mampu menawan kelemahan Memahami setiap nuansa tanpa air mata Dalam guliran waktu tiada berjeda Dia bukan penyanyi biasa Bukan setakat penghibur bermandi cahaya Dia seorang pejuang Darah diperjuangkan Raga digadaikan Nyawa dipertaruhkan DIA SEORANG SENIMAN! - Oleh Elmi Zulkarnain istimewa buat sahabat seperjuanganku, sdr Zaibaktian Abu Bakar. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ard, being the spontanoeus one performed a few songs and a special song for myself. Thanks bro! Yunos serenaded the audience with his tunes then Mayuni followed suit with a few songs. Baik skali!! Then it was my turn to take the stage...performed a number of songs for the guys...it was a delight to be performing again since FMA: Festival Melayu Ada days.... Bro Samsuri also lent his voice to some wonderful piano playing by Nizamulmuluk Best ah bro! This occasion was certainly an unforgettable experience for me personally. Never tot that my music adventure would allow me to meet so many wonderful people who had let me into their lives and hearts :) Love you guys.....

But it doesn't felt like it cos i'm doing my reservist tat week. Woke up and greeted by hp smses and birthday wishes by my family. Sweetness!! :) The day before, I received a call from Fiza O during her 'O' Show on Ria 89.7FM, wishing me a very happy birthday during her segment 'Birthday Radio' Baik skali!! Came back from reservist around 1730hrs and I was mentally drained. Zul & Fizal asked me out for a coffee at a mall nearby my place and I was set for it. Chatted wif them over coffee and Fizal asked me if he can swing over my place to use my Mac. Aku pun on...tak ingat apa2 pun....when i opened the door to my house, i was suprised to see my baby nephew, Irfan at my place...hehe...then Surprise again!! My relatives, brothers and sisters, close friends had already gathered at my place to celebrate my birthday again. Gosh...best!! Ina had baked me a birthday cake and it was lovely and chewy....everyone brought their share of food and we feasted soon after i blow out my candles....3rd time oredi! Hehe.... Haha...I told them tat alhamdulillah i have no heart problems thus far cos all these emotions and excitements of the last few days were getting too much for me to handle. But i reallly appreciate these things that you all have done for yours truly. Thanks so much...
