naik 5 kali, dapat diskaun 5rm

Saje je cerita.. Actually ada dua benda nak cakap.

1) JB gi Ipoh berapa RM eh? 70rm ke?
Pasal ni ler price satu Nepal ni bayar kat satu brader yang 'tak duduk kat kaunter'.
Si Katmandhu mari tu dah bayar baru tanya aku..mana aku tahu. Dah ler berbual ngan dia cam ayam ngan itik.
Aku cakap ler patut gi beli kat kaunter mana2. Tak kesah apa bus pun, janji beli kat kaunter kalo kita tak tahu proper price.

2) Aku jarang2/once in a blue moon naik bas kuning Causeway Link pasal aku tak suka seat dia. Senang cakap aku tak suka interior bas dia la haha. ( Tapi still better dari Sri Maju ) oppss.
Tu hari aku beli advance tiket, aku decide beli tiket Causeway Link..

Surprise!! Sekarang tengah promosi..



Untuk trip JB - KL - JB - KL - JB - .......
Kalo korang naik 5 kali tak kesah JB - KL or KL - JB, korang dapat diskaun 5RM. Tapi seems korang kena ada tu kupon n stiker ler.
Not bad kan? dalam keadaan kecoh2 so called 'ulat' jack up price giler2 dan whatever, proper bus companies ada come up with all these nice offers.



Tu je la nak cakap haha, saje2 je...

derek riggs punya Hallowed Be Thy Name Live dan the single itself

Aku rasa ada dari korang suka benda2 gini, so aku share kat sini. Tu hari pasal Aces High, ni lak aku ambik dari buku dia pasal artwork Hallowed Be Thy Name Live yang released 1993 dulu untuk jadi single dari album A Real Dead One.



( Click All Photos To ENLARGE )

Below are his words on the idea for the artwork,



but the best are the words ' some might argue that this particular Eddie looks a bit like Nicko, but... '
I never realise this until I read the book and previously never notice the similarity between Nicko and Eddie for this single.




Moving on to the single itself.
This is the most traumatic era for me as a Maiden fan. You cant bear to listen to this single and the accompanying album without realising that Bruce will never sing for Maiden again.
What a relief that he returned with Adrian in 1999 huhu.




CD Single tu beli kat Dada Records masa released. Tu jam harga $12 je kot.
Sapa sangka sekarang cd single ni ngan cd single Fear Of The Dark dah berpuluh2 kat ebay, tahu aku dulu gi Dada Records beli semua cd singles Maiden yang ada haha.

Wasted Years telah dijanickgerskan dan aku tak suka, TETAPI Wrathchild tu sesuai betul ler lepas dijanickgerkan.




Yang 7 inci Poster Bag edition tu, huhu...baru jugak..haha...aku make a bad choice dulu in deciding nak kumpul at least satu version 7 inches Maiden from any pressing per release as priority sebelum moving on to picture disk/cut-shaped disk etc, pasal rupanya 7 inch ni susah betul nak completekan...
Aku tak tahu cammana nak dapatkan Purgatory 7 inci. Siot betul.
Twilight Zone transparent 7 inci pun aku dah surrender hahaha.
Tapi you never know...huhu.
Sanctuary aku ada, tapi.. aku nye censored version. Apa boleh buat.



7 inch version packaging unfolded

Pemerhatian aku, even photos kat sini tunjukkan conflict between Bruce Dickinson and Steve Harris is really bad at that time.
As seen from the photos both of them were never side by side, and it was unsual to have neither as the one at the center.
Both are also reluctant to smile, in fact the photos really show the unhappiness well. That adds to the stress and sadness to me as a Maiden fan.

If you guys can get the bootleg of the TV broadcast of the 1993 Milan show in Italy ( I think there should be footages of it on youtube ), check it out.
It really shows the unhappiness on stage with Steve , Dave and Janick really doing their best and Bruce...well Bruce just seems to be out of place.
Luckily I got and watch the bootleg after the reunion or it will give me trauma seeing my favourite band disintegrate on stage huhu.



the other side

Sekarang nengok balik gambo2 gini, rasa lega sey haha.

ooo yang tshirt Bruce tu Catherine Wheel tu adik dia nye band tak salah aku

Dah takde, baru aku nak ambik tahu nama penuh

http://lagakepala.blogspot.com/2009/06/pergi-tak-kembali.html
Aku kenal arwah cammana eh?
Aku rasa pasal aku taruk aku nye personal bootleg live recording Wings kat Fort Canning berapa tahun lepas kot. Dia mesej cakap dia suka or something.

Tu ler kenal dia, then first time jumpa dia kat PH ( dah lupa apa show ) yang dia pakai tshirt Wings yang kartun tu.
Dia berbual dan layan aku macam kawan lama. Ni aku ingat sekarang ni, buat aku terharu.
He is passionate bila dia pernah tepon aku dan cakap pasal nak buat official Wings Fan Club, he was really motivated then.

I find him to be a pleasant, cheerful and positive person who only have good words to say or type in the internet, and thats the truth.

Semoga arwah Ijan berada dalam golongan mereka yang beriman, dan semoga Allah sentiasa melindunginya di sana. Amin.

laut, bot & kapalterbang ( pt ii )

leaving on a jet plane, dont know when I'll be back again huhu..


(actually ni nak landingnye)

( click all photos to enlarge )

for some people, ni memang spot best nak pancing..dan jugak kelong walk ni memang best jugak untuk jalan2..
apek ngan nyonya steady je jalan sini sama2 huhu..



sambungan cerita tu hari, ni close up tulisan Allah tu kat batu aku cakap tu.
Aku pun tak tahu cammana dorang buat, berenang kat batu tu ke atau naik sampan ke..




Aku pikir2 balik, kamera buruk berkarat sekenhen tu masih boleh pakai walaupun nyawa2 ikan, dan aku berpuas hati walau pun button on/off dia dah rosak dan aku kena physically masukkan/keluarkan bateri aku bila nak pakai/tak nak pakai huhu.
aku baru nak tangkap bateri cetak rompak satu, dan maybe ada duit aku nak try beli wide angle nye lens. Carik sekenhen nye kot kat kedai kalo murah.
Satu kelebihan FZ30 Panasonic ni ( dua tiga tahun lepas dah keluar FZ50 ), walaupun bukan DSLR, tapi dia prosumer yang boleh nasik tambah kat lens depan dia. So aku dapat berangan Ross Halfin macam pakai DSLR gitu ler, dan ngan built in long zoom dia, memang best.
Untuk sapa tak agak nak tangkap DSLR, dan takde jumpa DSLR sekenhen yang reasonable, aku suggest korang try sekenhen Panasonic FZ30/50. Aku suggest FZ30 walau dah 5, 6 tahun kot? tapi kalo ada sapa2 nak letgo murah, korang grab sua.
Bateri pirated no hal pasal Lumix nye popular, dan jugak it really feels solid ler.
Cam aku cakap, lens dia boleh nasik tambah, tapi unlike lain2 prosumer macam Canon, Sony tapi dorang semua lens retractable, macam kartun gitu.
Panasonic nye fixed lens. Dan kalo FZ50, dia punye optical zoom dah 18x. FZ30 boleh seret maximum 17x kot kalo kurangkan pixel dia ke hapa. Gerek wooo.. huhu.
Tapi ada orang tak suka berat, tapi pada aku berat tu ler buat dia solid dan boleh berangan Ross Halfin huhu.





last kopek haha, ni kali aku nak pegi lagi time lepas subuh naik first bus.
dan ni kali aku nak gi try ambik baring kat pantai tengok atas haha...
mesti kecohrable nye..



I got to keep trying, I just cannot get the photos the way I want them to be..

laut, bot & kapalterbang

(Click all photos to enlarge), doesnt matter if they are not up to your standards, just enjoy them as I do.

Aku tunggu mendangok ngan semut api kat sekeliling selipar aku selama 10 minit gitu untuk dapat ni shot. Siot punye kapalterbang bila aku tak ready dia satu2 landing, bila aku dah ready, siot, satu pun takde. Pilot smua hegeh2 kot.



but I love it, apek pun timing cun ada kat sampan dia.

balik kerja malam, aku naik bas gi Changi, test kamera buruk aku masih boleh pakai ke tak.
Dah rabak ler, dan bateri pun tinggal satu je. Memory card pun ada tak boleh read, tapi, selagi boleh pakai, aku rembat. Dan ni the result. Cam dah malfunction je dia punye functions so aku dah give up haha.



Sapa tak tahu, Ni Changi Point. Naik bas nombor 2 sampai ler. Very nice trip ngan macam2 tempat menarik kiri dan kanan jalan huhu.
Pusat Penjaja dia makan pun alrite2 punye. Tapi pasal aku datang sini pagi, aku makan nasik sambal goreng je la.





Aku pun tak tahu apa aku nak pasal aku dari dulu snap foto ikut suka hati, takde ikut teori2 mana2. Foto2 ni semua aku cuma guna Irfanview untuk resized dan sharpenkan. No crop.
Tapi yang penting, aku happy pasal this is something I enjoy.



Semua orang, lain2 orang maksud aku, suka lain2 style nye gambo.
Macam aku, aku pun ada taste sendiri. Tu pasal kadang2, korang kat blog walaupun tampal gambo cuma pakai kamera henpon, tapi aku suka, pasal, fotos korang tu tell a thousand stories.
So jangan pasal takde kamera best, tak mau snap2 gambo. There will be people who will appreaciate them.



Actually ni semua pantai Changi nye area tapi ada cam renovate sikit ada path pengsi untuk kita jalan jadi dinamakan Changi Boardwalk.
Kalo korang naik bas, abis kat Changi Terminal, korang jalan belah kiri, lepas jeti gi Pulau Ubin ke hapa ke.
Ada la 2-3km satu direction, tapi ok ler, exercise kat pantai gitu
.




Korang nampak gambo atas? Klik kasi besar. Ada orang tulis Allah kat salah satu batu tu. Nampak? Nanti aku tampal gambo besar sikit next time.
Nak try pergi lagi ler, tapi lain kali aku nak gi lepas Subuh. First bus. Huhu.



These are my humble photos of some parts of Changi point and beach, - the so-called Changi Boardwalk which takes up about 2-3km from the bus interchange/terminal/hawker center.
With my dilly-dally walk, I found that its roughly two hours to walk to and fro.

ulasan buku whole lotta led zeppelin - the illustrated history of the heaviest band of all time

Masa aku bawak buku ni balik KL, nak baca time off days, dah la berat giler sampai sakit bahu aku pikul dalam beg.
Kat kastam immigresen Johor lepas aku cop paspot obvious sangat kot beg aku gelembong sampai aku kena panggil pegi tepi ngan pegawai kastam/immigresen Msia.
Selalu aku tak pernah letak beg kat scanner xray tu, aku main jalan terus je haha.
So cam gini aku bebual dia ngan lepas aku kena bukak beg tunjuk dia.

'apa ni?',
'buku perpustakaan encik',
'buku apa?',
'buku rock encik',
'keluarkan aku nak tengok'.
Ewah terus dia flip2 tu pages, Eleh...brader pun agaknye layan jugak huhu.
So terus ok, aku diletgokan.
Nasib baik tak kena apa tu namanya? diKDNkan? huhu.

( so this is my short review and some photos taken from the 'borrowed from Library' huge, thick, heavy, and bloody EXPENSIVE coffee-table book entitled Whole Lotta Led Zeppelin - The Illustrated History Of The Heaviest Band Of All Time. )


This book is published after the 02 reunion, so that makes it even better with the latest insight on them. ( Please pardon my English if the sentences dont make sense as this is the only place I can practise my written English. Ewah ).

CLICK ALL PHOTOS TO ENLARGE.


The back cover.


ok, sebelum aku hantar balik kat Library dan sebelum aku kena fine $$ pasal hantar lepas due date, aku snap sikit2 fotos dari buku ni.

Nak dekat 300 mukasurat, kena relaks2 baca sikit demi sedikit, kena perlahan2 nengok foto2 dan graphics kat buku ni.


Content page


Memang lavish, dan aku rasa dalam banyak2 buku rock, ni buku memang best.
Tak boleh cakap buku ni ada semua, tapi its very informative, and entertaining and worth to buy it if you got the money. And if you still got extra money, you can buy another copy and give it to me. Thank you in advance huhu.


So firstly, enjoy the photos, Klik kasi foto ni semua besar sikit.





I love the two above photos especially the first one, the crowd is mixed and having fun.



So this book includes the photos and reflections of the band members and writers during the 02 reunion period.



Houses Of The Holy seems to have awesome promotional posters and designs. This is one of them.




I love the ad on the left.



An example of the essays, reports, interviews and reviews in this book.




Lawa kan?



And this is my favourite photo in this book.
Pada aku, memang la, jenis dan mutu kamera tu penting, tapi kadang2, lagi penting ialah inti kandungan foto tu sendiri. Dan pada aku, foto ni aku boleh tengok lama2 dan carik satu2 benda dalam foto ni huhu.. Susah nak cakap la, tapi aku suka benda2 gini huhu.




Seluar dia ni kalo buat baju melayu seluar cam gini , mesti havoc eh.



This lak is an old 70s article about this writer's interview with Jimmy Page.
About sound that can make people sick, about a game of football in Peru, where the crowd kills a Policeman and his security dog, and throw another Policeman from the higher floors to the ground. Its all in this article.




Lawa2 kan Tshirt Led Zep? Pengsi sey.




Lagi satu page..



Yang ni korang klik eh dan baca.


Ni artikel pasal Singapore Government tak kasi dorang buat concert kat Singapore pasal apa2 je la reasons dia pada early 1970s gitu.
Aku pernah baca pasal ni dulu2 kala, tapi ingat2 lupa, so best la kat buku ni pun ada cerita hal ni.




Best eh zaman dulu.




Aku ada boxset remaster Led Zep yang kaler kuning besar tu ngan yang kedua nye.
Total ada 6 cd, content dia kira semua lagu studio led zep. Dah lama dah beli time keluar dulu awal 90an. Nanti lain kali aku carik dan review. Ada kot kat rumah.




Order makan huhu.


Its Been A Long Time Since I've Rock N Roll.
Its Been A Long Time Since I've Hit The Stroll huhu..
