MAAF ZAHIR BATIN

Just a note

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,

a smile,

a kind word,

a listening ear,

an honest compliment,

or the smallest act of caring,

all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

-Leo Buscaglia-

World cutest prayer

One day at a time....

one day at a time - this is enough

do not look back

and grieve over the past,

for it is gone,

and do not be troubled

over the future,

for it has not yet come.

live in the present,

and make it so beautiful

that it will be worth remembering.

Tribute to PGL

ok... this post is my tribute to PGL... as we were not allowed to take any photos during the show.. the pixs are taken from their website www.pglthemusical.com.my

langit malam tidak mampu sembunyi,
terang bulan yg berseri-seri
ku bersaksi pertemuan ini
indah melampaui bidadari

di sini resah jiwaku tenggelam,
wajahmu disambut bayu malam
bulan jadi cerminan diri
rindui bintang penyeri hati

mata demi mata
berguguran bicara
kata demi kata
merubah tutur jadi rasa
hanya keasyikan
pada kewujudannya
nafas dan nadi tak terhenti
pertemuan ini kian terasa bagai bererti

kaulah segala-galanya
makna di dalam hidupku
detik ini telah lama sudah ku tunggu
hangat sentuhanmu melerai rindu
kasih di sini kuserahkan
jiwa , raga dan pengabdian
cinta utk mu segalanya
demi utk bersama
dipangkuan mu kasih
kerana mu kekasih

event... Part 2

i think u noticed that i'm supposed to post the FOURPLAY pix kat entry sebelum ni... tp tak tau la kenapa tak boleh.... nway, will post it here...

from left: Bob James, Nathan East, Larry Carlton & Harvey Mason

kat Philharmonic pun lebih kurang camni la... this pix taken fr their website

ok... enuf abt FOURPLAY.... on Thurs, i went to watch PGL ... and yes, again!!! hehehe... i'm one of the culprit yg habiskan tiket... but again.... CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!... phewitttt!!! they are EXCELLENTE as before... or should i say better... i'm lucky the nite i went tu... its the same full main cast... so, boleh la compare... 2 thumbs up to zahim & roslan... u guys hv made it again... and i think after this they are goin to s'pore... good! good!...

they hv made improvements on the effects... lighting, backdrops... which make the whole show better... rather impressive too! and the singing is definitely an improvement... from everybody... even tiara sounds better now... heheh... needless to comment la kan... on my gorgeous Hang Tuah... i think he does loose weight coz his baju pendekar doesn't really stick to his body as before... he looks YUMMYLICIOUS!! muahahhaa....

ok.. i'm having problem posting pixs again... so, will do it in the next entry..

.. events... and more social events.. Part 1

..it has been a busy week last week... full with work + social events... hmmm... coincidently everything happens in the same week... not complaining though...

on tuesday, i've attended the International Islamic Financing Convention held in Mandarin Oriental.. the event was organised by BNM, SC, LOFSA and BURSA... its basically one of the move made by policy makers in M'sia to promote M'sia as an Islamic Financial Centre in the region... it was indeed a good exposure to me to meet big shots from various organisation & also the experts in the field themselves... the panel invited to address and discuss the issues came from all over the world... some of this experts are not even muslim and they know the "in & out" of islamic financing... which i hv very little knowledge of...

one interesting point that they hv highlighted is on the fact that if the world uses islamic finance principal, the economic problems thats been facing the world right now will not exist... as in islam things have to be transparent, just & not based on speculation.. right now, in middle east there are 75 diff scholars who preach the islamic finance principal... imagine that... 75 diff views and opinion... i guess this is due to interpretation of the Quran & hadith...

u know u'll meet old frens when u go to seminars & conventions... i've met a few... old classmates, old frens... whose looking very successful or in the midst of climbing the corporate ladder... but i've never thot i'll meet this guy... it has been more than 20 yrs since i last saw him... budak SBP mana yg tak kenal dia... all girls wanna be around him... kira mmg glamer giler la dulu2 masa hi-school... ARUL KANDASAMY... he was one of the panels... currently he's the Head of Islamic Banking in Bahrain... but i'm not surprised he is what he is today... even before u can see his charismatic & leadership character... and i think being in RMC does help mold him to become that person today...

anyhow, the convention has open my mind to know more abt islamic finance... partly bcoz of knowledge & partly as a muslim i feel its a reponsibility to learn & to promote the teachings of Islam, InsyaAllah one day..... may Allah give me the strength and guide me accordingly to achieve this mission of mine..

ok... on a more relax note... that nite i went to watch FOURPLAY at Philharmonic... they are actually playing modern jazz and since i haven't been to philharmonic... so, i thot... why not?? tickets were not that expensive... we bought the RM60 and i'm totally, totally satisfied... with the performance and all eventho it started 1/2 hr late... but, its well worth it...

i know when i mention the word "jazz" everybody was saying they haven't reach that age... not their cup of tea... but, hey!! why not give it a shot... u may not know it when u don't try... plus this is a life performance ok.... not hearing it from a cd... its totally different... u can see the expression... dengan feel dia... the interaction... add up all this with the ambience, its sumthin different ... trust me!! the group plays contemporary jazz... so, if ur a fan of music with loud bass & the sound of electric guitar & keyboard plus drumbeats... u'll definitely enjoy this... I DID!!! there was not a time my head or body not moving to the beat... the way they play it will definitely leave u grooving all nite long... even after it ends, the sounds still stays in my head... they played their own rendition of "Stings - Fields of Gold"... best giler!!!

ok, they don't allow us to take pixs in philharmonic... so i got this pixs from the website.. there are 4 of them in the group... fr left, BOB JAMES on keyboard (he's truly... truly amazing), NATHAN EAST on bass (he interacts with the crowd.. most of the time), LARRY CARLTON on guitar (kalah mat2 rockers kat sini kalau nak compare the way he played.... my eyes were practically on him most of the time) and last but not least, HARVEY MASON on drums (i miscount how many times drumstick dia tercampak... really into it!!)...

in one simple word.... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! i really had a great time....
