Airmata gembira :_)

Aku selalu berangan, ada tak satu hari nanti dikeluarkan satu buku kompilasi Derek Riggs ngan maklumat terperinci?

Bila keluar buku tu pun,(announced about September 2006 gitu tapi launched December 2006 and the hardcover serialised ones completely sold out almost immediately) it took me setahun lebih untuk deliberate, walaupun the serial numbered autographed hardcover dah sold out seperti dijangkakan.
Dapat softcover pun softcover ler dalam hati aku tapi ntah apsal aku tak kelam kabut lak pasal softcovers mesti berlambak kan.
Tapi something is telling me to wait..

Then last few months, the hardcover 'personalised' one lak keluar. This cause a lot of dissapointment to many people all over the world who had went for the serialised numbered version. Sometimes, its good not to rush kan? tapi tak bleh cakap ni semua.

Bila dapat green light dari Minister of Finance aku ~_^ untuk go for the personalised one, aku pun proceed..
Aku rota ngah keja malam, ngantuk jugak.. tapi tak tido ah siang, tunggu sey kat pintu rumah mak aku untuk Mr Postman datang. Pathetic siak.
Akhirnye..

I am so happy :_)
Siap ngan my own personalised Trooper sketch. Nak nangis siak...
Aku always paling suka Eddie The Trooper.

Thanks kat Minister For Finance aku for making it possible and one of my dreams in life to come true. Simpleton abis kot aku, just an artbook dah kira the whole world bagi aku hehe.

Nanti senang2 aku review k...

Sekarang aku nak soak in happiness dulu...dan aku nak beli frames ler ekeke

rhinocerous / badak sumbu

( continuing saga of photos of my visits to the mandai singapore zoological gardens ) click to make bigger


Few days back I just realise how pretty the giraffes are when up close.
Looking thru my "pathetic Ross Halfin wannabe " collection. I realise the rhinos are beautiful too.

(There is a human Rhino too you all know or not? Manowar ex drummer wakaka. I like him also la. \m/)


The burungs not scared eh. Kalo manusia, mau kena pijak2 sampai penyek.


Tu hari layan face to face ngan zirafah, ni kali layan rhino lak. Tapi tak face to face la. Kick the bucket kang aku. Huahaha.
Ni bawah ni sequence Father Rhino or is it Mother Rhino?
teaching baby Rhino how to fight?
I think so la. Cannot be real fight right?


See what see? wah...tak padan kecik kan. budak2 sekarang suka benda2 gini tenung2 carik pasal. Tapi balik rumah terus cam tikus kot ekekeke.



Aceh ceh ceh, makin dekat sey. Cam ada magnet.



Push..Push..Burn the bridge behind you..there is no retreat..



Sekali tu..abis dah, aku ingat si father or mother rhino tu nak cocok si kecik tu, or nak lambung dia jauh2.. rupanye main2 je.. tapi kalo orang, abis dah eh. Splat! jadi lempeng.


This posting was accompanied by Dream Theater's Live Scene From New York triple cd. Seriously one of the best live albums ever pada aku la ekekeke. Over 3hrs siak. Nanti senang aku review k.

satu orang nye pasal..part 2 ( dan mintak2 ni last part)

Ni semua kul 6, hari sabtu. Tadi. Hari sabtu, kul 6 k.
Aku snap masa dalam bas. Ksiao. Q moto dah lepas factory wafer ke hapa tu.



So dah berapa hari si dektu lepas? 18 hari kot?
Selenger kan? ramai orang affected. Wa pun affected siot!!
Kesian kat sapa duk flat2 yang residents complain masuk Stomp website yang dorang tak bleh tido malam, pasal bunyi lori semua hon2. Tapi residents pun mesti kesian ngan drivers tu semua.



Ni belum masuk orang keja ulang alik. Nari masuk sokkabar omputeh last page kat belakang ceta panjang pasal ni. Tu column ekonomi tau kalo page belakang. Ceta kat sana lak dah.



Korang nengok photo atas ni, dah berapa jauh tu kan?? Paling kesian yang moto ler. Panas giler ah. Telan asap.

Hopefully lekas2 settle ah. Kalo tak settle, nanti ada la sambungan lagi ceta " satu orang nye pasal.. "

Ides Of March

(besok tanggal limabelas haribulan tiga, dalam kalender orang Roman, ialah Ides Of March.)

1987. Aku 15. Sec 3 ( atau is it masa aku sec 4? nevermind ) Main je keja aku. Study is lowest priority haha.

Tapi subjek Literature, aku terus duk diam, berhenti khayal, conteng2 kat buku, dan pandang kat teacher aku ajar, absorb sebanyak yang IQ aku izinkan aku absorb. Ntah apsal aku so passionate ngan subjek ni. (Maybe aku nak improve kefahaman English aku, jadi aku lagi paham tulisan liriks omputeh wakaka \m/)


Sastera Omputeh is the most beautiful subjek untuk aku.
Kalau la aku dulu belajar sampai sekolah tinggi...ekeke Tapi thats life right?
Aku pernah cakap kat kawan aku satu budak cina nama Rob, aku cakap " I school drop out done already, I repeat student also done already, how ah to face life like that? " dia jawab " if you always pass and success, you will never meet me and we never become frens ". How true.
Everything in life happens for a reason.

Anyway, Faberet literature book aku untuk O'levels Lit ialah William Shakepeare's Julius Caesar. This is why:

ACT I
SCENE II

SOOTHSAYER.
Caesar!

CAESAR.
Ha! Who calls?

CASCA.
Bid every noise be still.--Peace yet again!

[Music ceases.]

CAESAR.
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry "Caesar"! Speak, Caesar is turn'd to hear.

SOOTHSAYER.
Beware the Ides of March.

CAESAR.
What man is that?

BRUTUS.
A soothsayer bids you beware the Ides of March.

CAESAR.
Set him before me; let me see his face.

CASSIUS.
Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.

CAESAR.
What say'st thou to me now? Speak once again.

SOOTHSAYER.
Beware the Ides of March.

CAESAR.
He is a dreamer; let us leave him. Pass.
------------------------------------------

ACT III.
SCENE I. Rome. Before the Capitol; the Senate sitting.

[A crowd of people in the street leading to the Capitol, among
them Artemidorus and the Soothsayer. Flourish. Enter Caesar,
Brutus, Cassius, Casca, Decius, Metellus, Trebonius, Cinna,
Antony, Lepidus, Popilius, Publius, and others.]

CAESAR.
The Ides of March are come.

SOOTHSAYER.
Ay, Caesar; but not gone.


Teacher aku tanya " so what is the Ides Of March? ".
Wa sua angkat tangan siot, so wa ngan penuh konfiden jawab.. Iron Maiden \m/

Teacher aku senyum je. Dia mesti tahu kot aku ngah refer pasal apa. ( Teacher pompuan, ntah sapa nama dia tapi dia sekolah tinggi sampai negri omputeh tak salah aku, siap acronym KISS ngan ACDC dia bleh siap discuss lagik )



So happy Ides Of March everyone. \m/

( Sapa dalam politik, ekeke, orang2 berkuasa..Be careful of those nearest to you....jangan jadi cam Caesar kena main belakang rabak2 ngan orang paling rapat ngan dia, " Et Tu Brute? " wakakaka.
TAKKAN MELAYU HILANG DI DUNIA, SAMA MACAM DENGAN ROCK NEVER DIE!


Hail! Hail! Caesar!
Hail! Hail!

Piring Hitam 7 Inch & Soundboard 9/3/08 Santiago

Bawah lemari, dalam gerobok, dalam laci, selit2 kat rak baju, aku kumpul2 ok dah jumpa dah semua tujuh inci aku hehe.
Dulu aku sikit2 kumpul jugak 7 inch piring hitam Maiden singles, sekarang dah tak la. Dulu2 tu memang la saje je kumpul, buruk2 pun aku kumpul. So now taruk kat kotak cam gini hehe.



tapi sebelum tu nak cerita sikit, THE FIRST SOUNDBOARD RADIO BROADCAST FOR THE CURRENT WORLD TOUR IS OUT!!!
nak download sila gi sini, korang kena winrar kan benda ni k.

http://rapidshare.de/files/38806713/Chile_2008_Radio_Broadcast_MP3_192kbps.rar.html

March 9 Santiago, Chile. I love it walau DJ radio tu kacau2 la cakap2 in between songs tapi its ok la jugak.

Tiga highlights yang betul2 stand out
- Powerslave ada nasik tambah keyboards dan ni kasi aura lagi thrill masa chorus. I Love it so much.
- Waktu Bruce cakap, tiket dah sold out tapi tak bleh carik tempat lagi besar untuk tampung yang lain. Dan peminat kena bayar duit banyak untuk hadir.
Peminat2 dari negara Peru, Ecuador ( aku tahu kat Venezuela ada tunjuk perasaan pasal Maiden tak buat gig kat sana ekekeke ) sanggup datang ke Chile untuk nengok ni konsert, devotion dorang memang real. Negara2 sana ramai orang susah, tapi dorang sanggup travel beribu batu, naik bas, jalan kaki, turun naik gunung, tidur tepi jalan travel berhari2 just nak tengok Maiden dan kalo dah 40,000-50,000 gitu, apa yang nampak sangat, tapi ni la tarikan Iron Maiden. Susah nak describe. Fans will do almost anything to support them.
- Intro Moonchild - Bruce ni lawak la. I love it.





ok back to the 7 inches singles.
- Running Free, ( woooo sayang wooo aku yang ni )
- Running Free (Live After Death)
- Women In Uniform ( aku ada? ekekeke aku pun lupa lak, nak carik Sanctuary kalo boleh ),
- Run To The Hills
- Run To The Hills ( Live After Death )
- T N O T B ( ni reissue untuk apa occasion ntah, dah lupa lak )
- FLight Of Icarus
- Trooper
- Trooper (reissue Dance Of Death)
aku giler Trooper pasal the artwork very special untuk aku. Aku rasa aku ada Trooper 12inch picture disk, cd single, promo cd. Dan macam siak ada satu kedai kat Aldephi ada Trooper cut to shape vinyl, aku cakap kat amoi kedai tu, " please ah, sell me ah ", siak amoi tu tak mau. Weak sey hahaha. Dia pun suka kot Eddie Trooper hehe.
- Wasted Years
- Strangers In A Strange Land ( Eddie kat tempat Star Wars, super lawa )
- Infinite Dreams
- Infinite Dreams with Maiden England Embroidery Patch ( factory sealed ) tak mau bukak ah aku, maybe nak ebaykan satu hari nanti hehee.
- Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter - versi Eddie jadi Grim Reaper kat kubur. I think this is the etched signatured version. I also forgot already.
Aku nye dream, aku gi Sungei Road ada apek jual 2nd hand single ni versi Brain Pack. Kalo la ada betul hehe.
- Be Quick bla bla bla ekeke
- Angel And The Gambler ( picture disk dia lawa siak ), one of the more beautifuller 7 incis.
- Out Of The Silent Planet kaler merah
- Different World


That tansparent plastic thingy is The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breggs clear vinyl. That one is 10 inci version. Nice.

Nanti ah senang bleh cerita2 in detail bila aku buat reviews album by album, era by era. So far sempat buat Powerslave je.


Aku takde turntable dan confirm beratus2 ribu collector Maiden worldwide pun takde ni rekod player, tapi it doesnt matter right, aku suka betul ler Iron Maiden nye 7 inches, cute je.
Tapi skarang nak carik yang buruk2 bersepai2 pun dah susah. sigh. Kat ebay forget it la, fans satu dunia rebut2 ekeke. Dulu tak terpikir lak nak invest on all these thingys waktu orang ngah buang2 buruk2 nye. Skarang, gigit jari je la ekeke. Sometimes, aku kena paksa kejutkan the small boy who is crazy about Maiden in me to wake up. There is the real tough world out there hehe.

Till next time Up The Irons, and enjoy the soundboard recording ok.

SCREAM FOR ME SANTIAGO!!! ekekeke.

zirafah / giraffe

New segment lagi- photos from some of my fave animals at the mandai zoo


Giraffes face to face

One of aku nye most feberet places ialah gi zoo. Ntah apsal aku suka kat zoo. Kalo tiap2 bulan pegi pun aku takkan jelak, especially weekday takde orang sangat. Tapi dah lama lak tak pegi, last is december lepas kot.



So aku go thru hard disk drive, nengok2 balik gambar2 foto2 'ross halfin tak jadi' aku, then aku realise lawa jugak eh zirafah ni..



Dia nengok aku, aku nengok dia.
So aku cek internet rupanye zirafah/giraffe tu datang dari word arab eh. Refer kat ketinggian gitu. The tallest of them all. Itu macam ka? baru aku tahu ekekeke.



Zirafah ni kan, dia cam very the graceful gitu. Dia jalan pun eh very gracefully gitu. Very the ladies and gentlemen gitu haiwan ni eh.



"I only dream in black and white" ( Dream of Mirrors, skarang wa ngah dengar bootleg Maiden kat Rock In Rio 2001 unedited ) tapi kulit zirafah bukan hitam putih eh, tu zebra ekeke. Melayu panggil Kuda belang kan. Teringat wa lagu Kalau lah naik kuda hitam la la la ...ekeke.


Kebetulan aku ada time feeding gitu, so dapat nengok dekat2 la gitu..
Kalo sepak2 manja muka giraffe tu korang agak dia gigit tak hehe.


Aku pun kepoci jugak nengok2 kat dalam baldi tu...oooo lobak. Cam rabbit gitu.
( now playing Love Song - Tesla, versi Five Man Accoustic Jam. I like ekeke, very the meriah sey everyone semua join in nyanyi sama2, ni lagu putus cinta happy giler, positif habis, takde nak bunuh2 diri terjun flat hati berkecai gitu ekeke )
(now eating - Gardenia Raisin Bread, I like also hehehe )


Korang nengok betul2. Lidah Girafah ni punye la panjang, cam lidah Gene Simmon. Ala...bassist Kiss tu ekeke.


Aku baru perasan, aku tak pernah nampak Girafah put on weight gitu eh. Slim menyelim je. Healthy living eh jadi vegitarian gini eh.

Aku nak gi zoo ah, aku miss all my good frens kat sana hahaha, tapi Ah Meng dah takde dah...


ooo my faberet song.. Amazed - Lonestar
