In the Wrong Business

1 month has passed since i moved to P town from B town. What i like about this P town is.. it's so damn near to where we are currently renting.
And i don't have to do calls anymore. I purposely refused my lecturers' advice which was to do medicine.. because i hate getting work calls after office hour. To me, having to get up in the middle of the night to go and sew people's face because they were too drunk to see that the road actually bended is really a pain in the butt.

Just FYI, most call cases I attended so far were either due to drunk drivers or drunk men fighting and injuring each other.
Little did i know when i joined the service that i had to do calls as well.
At least now, I am temporarily safe from that ... But I really have to pursuit something.. a specialty i mean.. or else when i am out of this place, i will have to do calls again.. urghhh.

Now that, is my main concern, or rather , my main problem.

I am currently attending a 3 day convention at Sunway ... but the more i learned about the industry... the more i feel i am in the wrong business. So, if i basically do not like what i am suppose to be.. how, please , tell me how.. can i go further?

I have other options like.. go private and make money$$$. But i don't want to take the risk because going private actually really means business.. and a softie ( i am soft hearted.. only u don't know about it.. ok.. laugh all u want but it's true!!!)like me has no place in the business world.

Maybe i should just continue doing whatever it is that i am doing and try to enjoy the joy of life God has given me so far...

Let the main breadwinner do his job first. I'll see what I can do when the time comes..

Yeah.. when the time comes.

Sean Ghazi - A man of his words!

I came back from Terengganu yesterday and found this in my mail box!

I opened the envelope with great care and there was another envelope


Inside this red packet.. was a lovely red package with a postcard.



Inside the red package was this..

Come on, by now you should know there's a CD inside.. no need for me to tell what's inside the cd case la huh..

Such a sweet guy this SG is.. Not only he's multi talented, but he's also sweet kan?

At first , well you know , he got several nominations during the last AIM and actually surprised a lot of people because he got only the best new artiste award. The crowd expected that he would get more. Meaning- he was the favourite or shall i say popular . And became more popular and well known after winning that award. ( Btw, if u r reading this and still don't have the slightest idea who SG is, either u r not from Malaysia or u have been living under the tempurung (coconut shell) all this while.)

But this is the proof that he actually remembered, and kept his words.
You have my respect for that!

A review of the album:

Concept- It's unique.. not like the usual local album u can find in the market
Music- Pleasant, nostalgic, yet refreshing.
Voice- I like it.
Favourites:- Lets never stop falling in love or it's malay version- ku impikan bintang

Personally, i find the song 'dengar ini cerita' kinda horny... i know i am married and have a daughter , and too old to feel shy about the story but.. i dunno, i felt a bit 'malu' listening to that song..'malu' as in blushing kind of 'malu' . Y? I have no idea.

For those who love P ramlee-ish or you can say Michael Buble-ish if u want to ( I'm sorry, my music vocabulary is not that good, mind the improper choice of terms, and words. I wanted to say it more beautifully.. but, alas.....).. I highly recommend this album for you to enjoy.

Even to those who are not sure whether they like it or not.. give it a try..
Those who do not like it.. get outta here you.. you..!

Last but not least, many many thanks toMr Sean Ghazi for being such a generous man and took all the trouble to send this signed CD, FOC , to someone you barely know.

And not forgetting Kak Ruby Ahmad for playing fairy god mother and made it happen.

You guys rock!


ps: for the real blur ones.. (I copy-pasted from wikipedia.)
