Imagine Dragons - It's Time

After listening to this song over & over again from TM advertisement, I'm hooked to the chorus... and then I'm hooked even more after listening to the whole song. This song will be my driving song for a while :P

It's time to begin, isn't it?   --> YES!
I get a little bit bigger (not literally, please... no bigger than now)
but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am --> but, I will always improve myself!

Hope you'll enjoy this song.

So this is what you meant

When you said that you were spent

And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit

Right to the top

Don't hold back

Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

I don't ever wanna let you down

I don't ever wanna leave this town

'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

So this is where you fell

And I am left to sell

The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell

Right to the top

Don't look back

Turning the rags and giving the commodities a rain check

I don't ever wanna let you down

I don't ever wanna leave this town

'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

This road never looked so lonely

This house doesn't burn down slowly

To ashes, to ashes

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

Masha and The Bear (Маша и Медведь)

Found this cartoon from Russia when I was video hopping around YouTube.

Super cute!

Al-Fatihah: S Shamsudin

I just found out that S Shamsudin had passed away yesterday.
This is such a sad news.
I grew up watching the Bujang Lapok comedy.
Ramlee, Sudin & Ajis are my favorite comedy characters of all time.
The chemistry between those three were unbeatable.

My favourite is 'Seniman Bujang Lapok'. The movie is hilarious.
To me, until now, there is now better comedy than the Bujang Lapok trilogy.

P. Ramlee had left us for a long time now.
The brightest star in Malaysia film industries.
The most talented star.
Now, S Shamsudin had left us too.
So sad...

I've always loved 'Sudin'. He's a tough guy with a kind heart.

Sudin & Ramlee left us with the sweetest memory of them...
Their comedy never fail to tickle...
No matter how many times we watch it.
No matter how many times we heard the dialog.

Eh apa punya laki? Pasal belacan aje pun ko nak pancung dia?

Eh apa shooo? Engkau sememangnya manusia durjana...

Al-Fatihah for S Shamsudin.
May Allah blesses his soul.

Amin.

Untuk Orang Kita... Masa Untuk Berubah

Thank you so much to my dear friend MT.
This video is a smack to the head & straight to the heart...

The video is in Malay...
Even though the word used was 'Bumiputera', I somehow believe that subtlely it is dedicated to Malays...



Why wait?

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Such a delayed post!

LOTR fever never quite left me. I think it never will.
Now I've caught 'The Hobbit' fever. I'm gonna be sick for a long long time :p

I don't need fo write about how wonderful this movie is. Everyone knows it. Peter Jackson & the gang are the best in this business. I'm particularly drawn to the movie locations. The landscapes are amazing. I will go to New Zealand someday. Maybe on sabatical leave. 2 weeks in NZ will not be enough.

Anyway, what I want to say today is, I've always thought Andy Serkis as 'Gollum' is the best actor ever! Ever since LOTR. He has improved so much in 'The Hobbit'. Who would have thought of 'Gollum' as cute & funny. At some point, even feel so sad for him for losing his 'precious'.

Andy Serkis is an amazing actor!

But then, Martin Freeman was amazing too! The way he portrayed the 'Bilbo Baggins' character was very believable. I can understand & even feel how Bilbo was feeling. You can feel the hesitation & the excitement of a homey person who is longing for an adventure.  You can feel the dilemma of someone who has never been in a fight, yet had to go into a battle.  Bilbo showed the true meaning of courage & Martin Freeman expressed that meaning with an accurate facial & body language.

I'm totally impressed.

'The Hobbit' also proven that a movie can be a hit even without hunks & hotties. Let's just admit it. The dwarves are no Boromir, Aragorn, Legolas, Eomer nor Faramir (except maybe for one particular dwarve). But, they are hunks & hotties nevertheless :) And the dwarves are a funny lot. That's a good quality right? Heheheee...



Can you spot the particular one?

The riddle scene between Bilbo & Gollum was most enjoyable. Bilbo is such a smart hobbit. That's very attractive :p

I can't wait for the 2nd movie. But, in the meantime...

Take care y'alls!

Voting is a Citizen's Responsibility

This is a suitable quote, in the heat of Malaysia voting season.

*****

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht

Be a smart & responsible voter...

Despite having to choose the lesser of two evils...

We vote because we care...

SILA SEBARKAN/SHARE...Nauzubillahiminzalik, Astaghfirullahaladzim

Just nak kongsi pengalaman sepanjang lebih 5 tahun tinggal dan belajar di Indonesia. Saya tidak berniat memburukkan Indonesia.. They have my respect, dan saya tahu orang2 Indonesia tidak seburuk yang disangkakan di sini.. (orang Indonesia baik dan ramah, pintar dan rajin.. that’s a fact!)

...

Pengalaman ini saya kongsi supaya orang ramai boleh tahu dan membayangkan implikasinya jika penggunaan nama Allah oleh non-muslim dibiarkan. Di satu sisi memang agak lucu, tapi di sisi lain terdapat keseriusan di dalamnya Aku ingat satu hari aku bukak TV perdana dia pastu tengok satu program.. Aku ingat ceramah agama lah.. dia punya penceramah punya semangat berkobar2.. “Kita semua sudah berdosa! Allah Maha Kuasa! Allah Maha Penyayang! Kembalilah kita semua ke jalan Allah! (aku dalam hati, Alhamdulillah.. bagus!) pastu tak pasal2 dia sambung “Kembalilah ke Yesus Kristus dan Bunda Maryam!” aku langsung tergolek… astaghfirullah! ceramah Kristian rupanya..

Satu lagi kenangan aku kat Indonesia, kalo baca surat khabar sana nanti ada slot obituaries: “Telah Kembali ke Rahmat Allah, Sdr. XXX pada XXX Semoga ruh beliau dicucuri rahmat Allah” Bila tengok balik nama yang mati Eduardus, Kristus, Paulus, etc. (nama org Kristian) pastu ada salib diikuti tulisan kecik “ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black”… tergolek lagi aku..

Satu lagi cerita aku kat Indonesia, satu hari aku ‘bermusafir’ lah ke daerah Jawa Barat naik motor, pastu nak berhentilah solat.. aku toleh ke kiri kanan jalan cari masjid.. Pastu aku nampak ada signboard kalimah Allah (dlm arab!) pastu ada banner “Ayuh kerjakan kewajipan kita kepada Allah dan agamanya!” aku pun pergilah dekat.. tup2 aik, awat lain macam tempat ni, siap ada patung jesus kena salib??!! Tergolek lagi aku.. lah.. gereja Kristian rupenye.. Satu lagi kat sana nak beli buku-buku agama kena hati-hati.. Aku dulu pernah ‘usha’ buku kat kedai buku..

Ada satu buku aku tak ingat persis tapi tajuk buku dia lebih kurang camni: “Memantapkan Iman Anda Kepada Allah” bila bukak2 browsing per helai aku start confuse, amacam lain macam aje ayat2 dan hadis dia.. Aku tengok balik lah.. ayat2 kutipan dari Bible.. tergolek aku lagi.. lah, buku dakwah Kristian rupanya.. risau gak klu jadi camni kat M’sia

Moral dari cerita ini ialah, benda-benda yang di ceritakan oleh pelajar ini tidak mustahil akan berlaku juga di malaysia 5 ke 10 tahun lagi jika masih terus menyokong tindakan kristian menggunakan kalimah ALLAH dalam setiap urusan ritual agama mereka.

Jadi korang semua fikir-fikirkan lah yang baik buruknya     *****   Semoga bermanfaat.
