random thoughts

thinking to do some rebranding and commercialization of few important things in my life. but planning need to come first.
there is a gap before that i need to fill, hence there is a need to go back to drawing board i guess.
should be interesting
as life now is getting interesting


and for some reason,  thank you God for the planning that I would get married late than normal people. 
I loved to get married as early as i could but surely God have His great plan for me. 
I might had some challenges and FAQ alot 
I'll always trust You would help me to go through these
trust and patient, is the key for these
and surely i'll have you at my side, sooner or later


i'll thank You and you. 

EiG dan SK melihat persembahan RiB

assalamualaikum

sesungguhnya tatau kenapa tp taleh nk upload gamba kat fb. so blog ni jd mangsa la kot. malam rabu adalah malam yang sangat indah (bahaya tulis bahasa melayu ini adalah semua ayat adalah ayat seni). penuh dengan bunyi bunyi gangsa yang memenuhkan keluhan hati yg dahagakan bunyi yg enak. persembahan yg sangat hebat dari RiB, seperti yg slalu dijangkakan oleh RiB. 

and mcm biasa lepas je tgk RiB, kitaorang biasa akan biasa makan sama2. kalo kat utp dlu, ameeth la tempat kitaorang bercanda ria, tp skang mungkin dak2 ni dah kaya terlampau agaknya, maka level 2 klcc menjadi tempat mapley terbaru (ish2, saya bukan punca).have a good look of the pictures. its a happy moment again to see these people again, those who have left gamelan utp and joining EiG, and new kids-in-town to be part of the great legacy left by us, the EiG.

 bersama RiB Umar

 YB Umar memberi kata2 semangat

EiG is having their own blog!

Assalamualaikum wbt.

I'm very pleased to informed that Ensemble in G (EiG) is now having its own blog. We are currently open for reservation and enquiries for those who are interested to have a gamelan music accompanied them for any wedding and events. Do drop by here (or click the tab above) and drop an email to us regarding your events. 

I would still be updating EiG current activities here, as one of their founding members, however the official update would be from their mainstream aka blog. We are not only limited to traditional and classic gamelan as we had been introduced a mix of jawa and modern gamelan during our involvement in UTP Gamelan Group. 

As such, hope that you will keep your support and pray for our success in continuing legacy and tradition of gamelan. 

Thank you.

CommercialAds[kot] Ash in the Ashes

assalamualaikum!

needless to say that aside from this upcoming mime show, there is potentially no other full mime show ever performed in Malaysia. As consistently looking at this mime show from TQA, i'll say and even bet anyone will laugh looking at them.

just to introduce you to the fellow mime actors for this upcoming show and a little peek of what i have taken from their last preview.

Acab is the new vendetta

Ash is the hottest mime in town

and who knows if these two people are together

to continue further, you are most welcome to view their awesome 'full' preview here, which was held during the TTS Mahkamah Lorong. with that to say, i strongly suggest you, to come to this show and surely we will be there to help you discover new type of 'entertainment'. :P

see you there!

EiG is moving forward!

assalamualaikum wbt.

Ensemble in G (EiG) is moving forward! The idea of taking out EiG for their idle state suddenly come to a reality when I went to klpac open day, for being the sole photog of the Qum Actors where TQA presented few of their pieces during the day. see also here. :)

nevertheless, as klpac on that day had a gamelan slotted in their tentative. a gamelan enthusiast-or-maniac myself, i went there to have at least a glimpse, of the missed one. they played awesomely, and looking at different races and age, this is also awesome!

and this handsome guy named Ezanin (below) told us about abit background of gamelan, here at klpac and their programme.

in which triggered me an awesome idea, to park EiG first at klpac, as a starting point, before we can stand on our own (read later). hence, i would officially say that EiG is now moving forward (and hopefully, not stopping) step by step.

at least we have somewhere that we can call it as our jamming ground/third home after our second home, UTP blok B (which is our previous trening ground for Gamelan UTP).

so EiG, lets start our jamming session! (and probably we would have a show later)

its going to be legen-wait-for-it-dary, LEGENDARY!

p/s: can't wait for next wiken, now my gendang kecik can be put in use again :)

my first photobook is here!

assalamualaikum!

i feel great for completing this photobook. it's my first photobook and i really look forward to see the completion of it. hopefully the client would be impressed with it.

thanks for believing in me, the first is the hardest and surely i have learnt alot from this book.

(look forward for next one! i wish!)

fiuh~

photomama.com gathering

assalamualaikum~

quite a weeken last weeken..
haha...
thephotomama.com forum held a gathering at the one of forumer's house at TTDI. (exact location? tayah la) - aku lelaki and bukan mama, and IM still single!

gamba taken from photomama.com

it was great, firstly because i met my indirectly sifu in photog, he is superb, and i would say one of the top photographer in malaysia. not only, he doing photography, yet he's doing bisnes on it, quite oppurtunist and i do love making frens with bisnesman...hopefully, i can learn one or two and list goes on from him...

saiful nang

secondly, making new frens and sharing some input...out of 20 participants, 19 are married couple and aku sorg je single! korg bole rasa la betapa outcastnya aku pg gathering tu...tp mujurlah ada kanak2 riang yg comel, maka aku ada la kidnap few and tangkap gamba diorg...see the picture later on...

what's gud about photomama? it is a basically a online classes by Saiful Nang, proffesional photographer who just got a daughter and come up with this idea where in this forum, he would teach parents out there to take better picture of their kids, from baby-born smpi la besar panjang...its gud, sbb SN pon basically use his first experience dealing directly with kids to teach others, so bukan main2 punya ajar a...

parents, can indirectly ask for advices for their pictures and it would be commented by SN and also other forumer, and they also will also watch and feel the experience on how to take great picture. kelas ni skali seminggu, and korg bole preview dat video byk2 kali, which only applicable to premium user..normal user like me, can also join dis forum, but we cant review dat video, and still applicable to post our picture at the forum...

as a conclusion, join la photomama, tak rugi, siyes wa cakap...since it only started, so lots of input were given directly by experts...and ilmu, tak rugi dicari, sbb kita bole sentiasa guna...atas kehendak seseorg tu je mau maju atau tak...

gud luck and have fun!

p/s: aku bru dapat tau yg kitlens aku rosak time gathering..so taleh guna auto-focus da, kena guna manual focus..kena anta kedai...redha je..itu la ketentuan Tuhan..maybe ada hikmah disebalik kejadian...

memasak

assalamualaikum...

skang ni, memasak bukan saje area of expertise of kaum wanita...some of guys, they been trained by their mom especially, makcik2 ke nenek ke dan lain2 lg yg bergelar wanita, to always be in the kitchen and help their mom to cook...

[and diorg still lelaki la..sile focus ye!]

there was a conversation between 2 man

pakcik:walaupun lelaki tu pandai masok, jange wi tau kat bini mu hok mu pandai masok
si lelaki: uh, bakpe pulok gitu?
pakcik: kala bini mu tau, pah kawin nanti, maybe la bini mu malah masok, asyik2 suh mu masok jah
si lelaki: ouh pulok. tau masok pon susoh, dok panda pon susoh...

ye, itu lah dilema si lelaki tersebut, maka soklannya disini..apakah isteri2 or ibu2 diluar sana mengetahui bahawa si suami mereka or bakal suami mereka pandai masak? adakah kejadian seperti diatas akan berlaku? or merekalah berkuasa di dapor dan suami hanya bole menolong memotong ayam, siang ikan, potong bwng dan hanya bole memasak bila mana isteri2? mereka sakit, demam, dalam pantang, g outstation dan sebagainya...

apa pendapat anda?
