My Father's Eyes




This handsome young man is my father.
He's 27 when the picture was taken.
I love looking at his old photos
so 70s looking with his bell bottoms pants and tight-fitting shirt
You know something like the almost famous movie

He's a musician and a dancer back then.
He played drums
(kinda explain why my older sister a keyboardist and my younger sister a dancer)
he used to work at RTM radio too and quit everything when he married my mother
But he never stop composing beautiful songs
He even create a song for me when i was born
I will post it up in the future :)





This is my father when he's 50 years old
and my mom 46 years old
They look amazing don't they?
I personally feel that they aged gracefully
I guess because both of them love to plant so much
They sometimes spend the entire morning at our little dusun
harvesting bananas, pineapple, chillies

Everyday after subuh my father will jog and do his exercise routine
for an hour or so without fail
unless he's not feeling well
I really hope i can follow his footsteps
but i just love my bed so much...
ngee




This picture was taken recently on my 28th birthday
My father is 64 years old and my mom 60 years old
I can't believe that he's 64 this year
He is still strong and healthy, Alhamdulillah.
Looking at this photo make me realize how much I love them so much
but saying it less most of the time.

So this weekend, i'm going to cook something for him InsyaAllah.
I know it doesn't take a father's day to express your love to your father
But at least it can be a reminder for all of us, especially me
How special he is and no one could ever be what he's always been...
today, tomorrow and forever.

Happy father's day my dear ayah.
I Love you so much.

Let It Rain




I have my own favorite list of songs for every occasion
I still do mix tape...
What i mean is mix audio cd since my car stereo does not support mp3

I have tracks for driving to work, driving to work in awful traffic jam,
when i'm feeling in love and romantic all of sudden,
when i'm down or stress
or when i'm sad and grieving.
I already have my wedding songlist and still deliberating some of my choices.

When I like one song in particular, for example Just Breathe by Pearl Jam...
I will search for the lyrics, interpret and relate it with life experience
and try to remember each words
I will search for the video clip and live performances
I even try to find out if there's a story behind the song
For me, lyrics complimenting the music
Tells a story to so many hearts
I even have the tendency to play the same song all over again until I get bored

Now I want to share my favorite grieving songs
Not that i'm sad right now...
It's just sometimes songs like these it's too beautiful and motivated
It's grieving in a good way...
it hurts when it heals too
It makes me realized not to take my loved ones for granted
to care, to love and to appreciate my family, my fiance and my friends.


This is my top 10 grieving songs.

1. Pearl Jam - Just Breathe

2. Snow Patrol - Run

3. Lifehouse - Storm

4. Coldplay - Fix you

5. Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle

6. The Platters - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

7. Jon Bon Jovi - You wanna make a memory

8. Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

9. Aizat - Pergi

10. P. Ramlee - Dimana kan ku cari ganti


I will share background of each song in my next post.



Backspacer- 2009


For now I wanna share about a beautiful song by Pearl Jam, Just Breathe.
It's the second single from Pearl Jam 9th Album- Backspacer back in 2009
If you listen closely it resembles a bit of Kansas- Dust in the wind
Actually the song came from Eddie Vedder's instrumental for "Into The Wild" film
It was call "Tuolomne" back then
Check out "Into The Wild" ost by Eddie Vedder -It's magical



Into the wild poster


For me, Just breathe is romantic and sad at the same time
I personally think it's about married couple growing old together
or someone is very sick and one knows that the time has come
All they want is just cherish the moment together before it's gone
This is a beautiful goodbye song
This song always make me teary-eyed
make me appreciate life even more


Pearl Jam -Just Breathe

Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh

Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love

Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they've got none


Stay with me...

Let's just breathe...


Practiced all my sins, never gonna let me win, uh-huh

Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh
I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world to make me believe

Stay with me
You're all I see...

Did I say that I need you?

Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me

As I come clean...


I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh
Everything you gave And nothing you would save, oh no
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave...

Did I say that I need you?
Oh, did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
And I come clean,

ah...
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave

Hold me til I die

Meet you on the other side...
Vedder described this to the Canadian radio station The Edge
as "as close to a love song as we've ever gotten."

He added to the Toronto Globe and Mail:
"There's never a dull moment on the road – every day it's something.
Maybe that's why my goal is the dull moment.
That's what this song is: It's saying, 'Just stop, and be together.
Don't talk now, just breathe and feel each other's presence
– now that the kids are in bed.'"

I Remember You

First tau pasal tempat ni from bf adik aku
Katanya ada burger gempak gila tepi sungai keramat
wah agak otai bunyinya tu...kedai pun dah tepi sungai keramat
(sebenarnya more kepada longkang besar keramat...ngeee)

So later dapat tau dia lebih dikenali dengan nama "Mustafa Jones"
Chef dia originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, USA
Kalau tak salah dia married with malay lady, Molly Jones.

eh teringat lagu The beatles - Obladi Oblada...

With a couple of kids running in the yard of desmond and molly jones, hey~

Anywho,
dia memang specialize buat hamburger, grilled steak, chicken and lamb
Kisahnya dorang start menjual kat pasar ramadan
dan disebabkan permintaan ramai sangat
maka dibukanya stall dekat sebelah sungai keramat ni (right after Syed Bistro)





So akhirnya last week aku and surfacing dapat jugak pergi try
Malah kami datang teramat awal iaitu pukul 6.15pm
Kedai dia pun belum bukak lagi
Disebabkan adrenalin terlebih sudah and lapar gila

Yes, kami orang pertama dan terpaksa la menunggu setengah jam
memandangkan api pun dia belum pasang...hihihi
Aku order Homemade Beef Burger, BBQ Chicken Wings and Lamb Shoulder




Ni dia BBQ Chicken wings
Selama ni paling sedap penah aku makan dekat pasar malam sri gombak (dah takde jual), keramat and taman melawati sahaja
Yang ni memang terbaik!
Marinate yang lain dari lain and terasa sampai ke tulang

5 ketul untuk RM12 ...
so terpaksa makan sorang 2 1/2 ketul
nak berkira jugak 1/2 tu sedap punya pasal
Pasni terpaksa order sorang 5 ketul baru puas hati





Ni Homemade 100% Beef Burger
Gambar ni memang tak menggambarkan kebesaran beef patty dia
I think the beef patty around 200-250gm
RM8 tersangat berbaloi
Surfacing siap order tapau walaupun dah makan lamb
melampau




Ni surfacing punya - Lamb Shoulder
Tapau burger dimaafkan sebab memang macam kecik sikit lamb dia
tapi again, marinate yg sangat sedap and grilled to perfection!
Aha yang macam tanduk tu roti ye




Gambar ketiga-tiga menu hebat
aku pun sebenarnya main snap je sebab tak tahan lapar dah
asal ada gambar jela

So lepas ni nak datang weekend pulak dengan harapan ada BBQ Ribs
Nasib baik surfacing kat Bangkok
Kalau tak dah ajak makan hari ni...



Menu from his blog


Ni menu untuk rujukan
menurut beberapa blog yang aku baca,
kalau dah malam baik call dulu dia untuk order
kalau tak memang berjam-jam la menunggu sebab ramai sangat
Location and phone number boleh refer blog atau FB Mustafa Jones

Close on Sunday and Monday.

Confession




I officially wear hijab during my 3rd year of MMU (Gamma)
back on June 2003 a week before Friendster became phenomenon.


I actually wanted to wear it during my birthday, 20 march 2003
but I wasn't really ready for it.
I have doubt like what if I don't like wearing it?
I thought I will never wear hijab but what happened was
I kept thinking about it.
I have strong feelings to wear it day by day.



2004


When I finally put on the black shawl covering my hair
Hopped into the bus to go back to MMU...
I never felt so happy and secured
I've made the right decision.


I never turn back.

After 2 weeks with no films worth watching at cinema,
come June with three films to watch.
I'm already excited!





X-Men First Class

Prequel to X-Men film series, this film tells a story of how the beginning of X-Men
Just like in the trailer, Before Professor X, there was Charles Xavier
and before Magneto, there was Erik Lehnsherr
Two bestfriends become eternal enemies.





Super 8

Science fiction film directed by J.J. Abrams(Star Trek, Cloverfield,Lost)
and produced by Steven Spielberg.

Synopsis (Wikipedia):
In 1979 in the fictional town of Lillian, Ohio a group of teenagers are making a movie
with a Super 8mm film camera when they witness a train crash.
They suspect it was not an accident.
There are disappearances and unexplained events around town,
and the local deputy investigates the cause of the events leading to the discovery of something inhuman.





Dylan Dog : Dead of Night

I already bought ticket for X-Men First class this Sunday.
During the booking I notice that ticket price at GSC has gone up.
So I check the other cinema and unfortunately I would like to inform here

Yes, movie ticket price at all cinema has increased!


So let me just make a review here:

GSC Pavillion - from RM12 to RM14

Other GSC except signature - from RM11 to RM12

Cathay Cineplex - from RM11 to RM12

TGV - ok i honestly don't really watch film at TGV and i'm quite confuse with the ticket price
They have e-premium which is RM13 and e-blockbuster -RM14.
I usually buy ticket at the counter and cost me RM11 before this.
I think the blockbuster is slightly expensive because it's digital cinema.


But guys, this is all weekend price.
Weekdays some cinema keep at normal rate
which is RM9-11 depends on which location.
For example of course at GSC cheras leisure mall is cheaper than pavillion.
and of course price for wednesday, early bird, children and student are different.


Check pricing:

TGV Cinemas

GSC

Cathay Cineplex
