“After that summer nothing would ever be the same again.”

December Boys
A mature story about 4 orphan journey through life over one holiday on their birthday month. Maps, Spit, Spark & Misty met a loving couple, Fearless a former risk motorbike rider & his wife Teressa. Here they soon realize that they have something that they thought had lost before that is family. It was a mature story of 4 boys coming to age & understand the true meaning of life. Maps also met his first love, Lucy but in the end it was also his last one. The song in the movie was great especially the scene where Maps had his first kiss by Lucy. The title of the song was "Who'll Stop The Rain by Creedence Clearwater Revival"




Long as I remember
The rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry pourin'
Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages,
Tried to find the sun;
And I wonder, still I wonder,
Who'll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia,
Seekin' shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable,
I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals,
Wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playin',
How we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together,
Tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin',
Fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.

Phantom of The Opera

During the Hari Raya holidays, there was a movie played called the Phantom of The Opera starring Gerard Butler & Emmy Rossum. Yeah, it was romantic tragedy kind of film & to me it was very lovely. One of the song that are my favourites was Thinking of Me by Emmy Rossum.



The best part is Gerard Butler (known as King Leonidas in 300 & Kable in Gamers) was the phantom & he really can sing.



This was my favourites scene in the movie. I believe the love between the phantom & Christine is more passionate than Christine & Raoul

Songs For Life Part 2

On the previous post, Helas commented that he didn't have the chance to sing a song to his girlfriend(s). it's not to late to do it now you know. When I was in high school there are two song that my parent use to tease me about when they know that their son doesn't have a girlfriend.

A Man Without Love by Engelbert Humperdinck

I can remember when we walked together
Sharing a love I thought would last forever
Moonlight to show the way so we can follow
Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow
Then somethin' changed her mind, her kisses told me
I had no lovin' arms to hold me

Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love

Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Knowing that it's cloudy above
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love

I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me
So, if you see my girl please send her home to me
Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying
Say I can't stop myself from crying

Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love

Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Knowing that it's cloudy above
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love

Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love

Mr Lonely by Bobby Vinton

I am so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone

Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home

Letters, never a letter
I get no letters in the mail
I've been forgotten, yes, forgotten

Oh how I wonder, how is it I failed

Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home

Now Helas, you know how I feel when my parent tease their son^_^

Songs For Life Part 1

Am I that easy to forget?

They say you've found somebody new,
But that won't stop my loving you.
I just can't let you walk away,
Forget the love I had for you.

Guess I could find somebody, too,
But I don't wan't no one but you.
How could you leave without regret?
Am I that easy to forget?

Before you leave be sure you find
You want his love much more than mine.
'Cause I'll just say we've never met,
If I'm that easy to forget.

Before you leave be sure you find
You want his love much more than mine.
'Cause I'll just say we've never met,
If I'm that easy to forget.
If I'm that easy to forget.

Salam Aidilfitri to all my friend. Hope that you have a great holidays this year. For me, it's been glad that I went back home to JB. It was pretty same thing that I've during my school years with a quiet n peaceful day. Only the noise from the neighbour playing firecrackers. One of this days I'm gonna burn their houses if they start firing at my yard.hehe
Some of the old vinyl from the old collection. Too bad the turntable doesn't play anymore but I think I will buy a new one if I had some money in the future n it will be an honour if Mr Mus can help me with it.hehe
There are another three of my favourites that I forgot to put it here but I will do it anyway in weeks to come.

Hope everyone is safe n sound so we can start a new chapter of the adventure of life

Memories of 2009: The Last Waltz

My late father have been using his handphone for a year.I remember the last song that my late father requested from me to be store in his handphone. It was 'The Last Waltz by Engelbert Humperdinck'.To me it was a beautiful song when the first time I heard it.But I never thought that it was truly his last waltz with his family.




The Last Waltz

I wondered should I go or should I stay,
the band had only one more song to play.
And then I saw you out the corner of my eye,
a little girl, alone and so shy.
I had the last waltz with you,
two lonely people together.
I fell in love with you,
the last waltz should last forever.
But the love we had was going strong,
through the good and bad we get along.
And then the flame of love died in your eye,
my heart was broke in two when you said goodbye.
I had the last waltz with you...
It's all over now, nothing left to say,
just my tears and the orchestra playing.
La la la la la la la la la,
la la la la la la la la la.
I had the last waltz with you...
La la la la la la la la la.

Even it's called 'The Last Waltz',it will always live on inside of me in memories of my late father

Memories of 2009

On the Friday morning of 10th July 2009, I lost my beloved father after months battling bone cancer. I was there at the hospital, knowing that his time will come. I prayed to Allah if I was going to lose my father, I hope it will be on Friday. Allah answered my prayer and my father has his last breath after the azan for Subuh prayer.
To be honest I wasn’t very close with my late father during his lifetime but to me he was more than a father. He was a teacher, who teaches everything he could from medical, carpentry, electrical basic, engines, agriculture & Islamic studies to his sons. And all his knowledge’s come from his reading & experience. He shows me the beauty of reading and seeking new knowledge. I learn the art of calligraphy from him and to me he was the most skillful calligrapher I always remember. He was a father who always planned ahead for what he want to do and that how he raised his sons, to know and identify what the future hold.
I shared the same interest with my father in many ways. We love to listen to the songs from the 50s & 60s together & having Nescafe when listening to our favourite Keroncong tunes. We love the kampong life even though we live in the heart of Johor Bahru. He teaches his sons the values of taking care the family members & that how me & my 2 younger brothers will always remember: taking care each other & our mother.
2009 also left me with another sad moment when I lost my beloved grandmother on 15th January & now what left for me is my mother. To me this three people are what I treasured most.

And what I can do for my beloved father & grandmother is always recite Al-Fatihah & pray that Allah will bless their soul.

Amin...
