The Songs of Winter 1993 DC

 These two songs always remind that winter in Washington DC

Tevin Campbell - I'm Ready

Janet - Where Are U Now?

1991, PPP/ITM Orientation and Michael Bolton

 Whenever I hear or see this song, Michael Bolton's 'How I Am Supposed To Live Without You?", it automatically takes me back to a particular moment during my PPP/ITM years.

It was in the first week of orientation among us new students. We were mixed around with students of other programs (AUSMAT, A Level), and split into multiple groups.

In my group, we sat around in the classroom, and for starters, were asked to introduce ourselves. As it went around, I could not help to notice that most of the ladies were quoting. Michael Bolton, as their favorite singer. Adoi, ya, that song was a big hit at that time, so it makes sense.

And, I still remember the AUSMAT girl who said that Bolton was her favorite singer. ;) oh well, memories la ...

ya, one for the memories

Goodbye 019340195

 Lost the celcom prepaid number sbb lupa tak top up, and tak sempat rescue it.

Bought the number in 2005, as Mrs was using Celcom n me using Maxis masa tu, while dating. Expensive to sms n call. Where got WA or Telegram that time :P

at 12 pm today, someone else took it. So, thanks a lot n all the best.

Got a new Celcom prepaid number anyway. ;)

Selamat Pengantin Baru Dr Amirah + Afiq

Tahniah Dr Amirah n Afiq

Anak pertama iu10 batch, anak tuan Rizal (Bob) Jaapar dan Puan Sukma.

 

Untuk beberapa tahun kebelakangan, saya selalu wish Happy Birthday kepada Dr Amirah pada May 13, melalui Sukma, sebab birthday dia memang saya ingat.

 

Saya beritahu pasangan pengantin tentang cerita kecil ini, dan saya beritahu tuan Afiq, seorang civil engineer, lepas ini, saya tak wish dah, saya serahkan tugas ini kepada beliau, ahaks. Hahaha.

 

For me, the most significant moment is it completes the circle that began in Sabak Bernam, late 1995.

Late 1995, naik motor pergi jumpa pasangan Bob dan Sukma di Sabak Bernam, rumah tepi main road. Terkejut den kejap, sebab tu lah first time jumpa Sukma sarat dengan her. Now, it's complete.

 

 Nasihat saya pada mereka berdua -Byk2 sabar 

All the best kiddo!

Lagu Jentayu

 Setiap kali terdengar lagu ini, mesti teringat momen ini ... lying on the living room floor kt rumah kedai Paroi Jaya, late 1995. masa tu baru balik from USA. Lagu ini berkumandang dari mini compo Sony den masa tu.

Hmm, random memories.

lagu ini memang puitis dan mendayu ... based on puisi Jentayu Usman Awang

Di paruhmu kemilauan sinar

Menyepuhi sejuta rasa

Kemuliaan di hatimu

Bening budi terdampar di jagat raya

Di sayap taufan kau jelajahi

Awan gemawan membawa rindu

Kasihmu menentangi kezaliman

Ketidakadilan

Jentayu

Patah sayap bertongkat paruh

Jentayu

Patah sayap bertongkat siku

Jentayu

Patah sayap bertongkat dagu

Jentayu

Patah sayap bertongkat kuku

Pinjamkanlah hatimu

Untuk semua

pinjamkanlah syahdumu

bintang bersinar

di langit zaman.

Jentayu hadirlah.
