DAH MALAS NAK NAIK BUKIT TU LAGI.

Aku dah penat benar naik turun bukit Fort Canning dari mula bulan Ogos ni sehinggalah hari Selasa kelmarin waktu SLIPKNOT SUBLIMINAL VERSES TOUR LIVE IN SINGAPORE mengambil tempat di situ. Dengan tak sedar-sedar dari permulaan lagi, dah jumlah 5 kali aku naik bukit bertuah tu bulan ni. Namun aku sabar saja lah. Kata sayang muzik kan. Telaten aje lah, kata orang Jawa.

Yang sebenarnya, bila aku pandang je bukit Fort Canning tu, badan aku serta-merta serap dengan peluh sejuk, rasa tak sedap je badan. Ada ke tempat tu keras / angker pada aku, hinggakan kini tak dapat aku nak beri penerangan yang selebihnya because I'm still studying the cause of it. Tapi memang. Memang kat pokok besar dekat dengan R.O.M.M tu semacam, memang dari dulu. Lagipun, atas bukit tu ada makam. Abih tu, dah bertahun-tahun orang organize konsert-konsert dan pelbagai show kat bukit tu, tak tenteram ahli kubur kat bukit tu, ngah oi.

Permulaan bulan ni, aku dah tawaf Fort Canning pabila ada Konsert Rock Gerek pada 5 Ogos dan 6 Ogos. Rasa seperti dah letih nak lawat bukit tu lagi. Tapi, pada malam 7 Ogos aku pergi lagi ke bukit tu, jengok-jengok members (Ina & Faizal Extreme Music) waktu adanya Ska & Reggae Fest di situ. Pada minggu berikutnya, ada Karnival Muzik Warna Ria dan pulak tu, dah janji dengan Zoul, Jamal dan Firdaus nak pergi tengok Jay Jay & Lovehunters kejap (Djasman, Awel, Dharmawan and the rest of Dancing Nancies sessioning for the artistes this year). Bila sampai sana, mak oi, tahun ni punya lah ramai orang yang hadir. Oi, kat bukit tu berlengas tau, tak banyak angin sebab tempat tu terlindung dengan bangunan tinggi. Cuma hawa yang dinginkan tempat tu adalah embun jantan yang mula turun mulai jam sebelas malam. Dah aku dah give-up nak 'daki' bukit tu lagi. Ngilu tulang aku.

Tapi, bila dah gila sangat dengan SLIPKNOT sampai tak teringat terus nak kena naik bukit tu lagi. Apalah perasaan orang-orang lain yang hadir concert SLIPKNOT hari Selasa kelmarin tu? Concert tu dah sememangnya awesome fantastic to the max. Akan tetapi, bukit tu ada membuat aku jelek dan serik selepas melawatinya 5 kali bulan ini sahaja. Even Brader Burhan gets tired of the same hill, same slope. Dan di situ jugalah Selasa kelmarin 16 Ogos 2005, kasut kesayangan aku tercabut, kat situ!!!!

Wassalam.

Assalamua'laikum.

Sinking with my passion,
For all things fast & furious
The metal beast is after all tame
Mercy at the reins.
Smooth tars kissing lips to lips,
Rubber and road
Roaring piston soft to my ears
We're just whizzing past the crowd.
Say hello while we flight like Icarus,
Close to your body
Two souls sliding in sleek manner
Go as far as the wind might take us
We live to fly, Aces High!

Wassalam.

Assalamua'laikum.

To Be Or Not To Be... a Goblok.

Funny me. After all, I still bounce back to this page to post my goblok trails. Goblok as goblok can be, why would anyone maintain *blah* blah* *blah*......

It no longer rains cats and dogs anymore. It rains giraffes and elephants these days. It's wet late this week. Still managed to maintain the glow in my face because I was so damn happy to see him. Tagged a long umbrella with me in case the rains gets worser in town. By God's grace, the rain stops in no time. I thought how nice it would be to stay on the higher floors of the newly opened national library and catch breathtaking views of central-south Singapore from level eight. Dismay. The viewing didn't quite produce the climatic effect for both me and him so we decided to make a pass and head straight for something much more breathtaking and relevant - ourselves! A scenic view of Singapore is best seen from atop the helipad of Swissotel's, which I already experienced while being there a few months' back. Another fine place to get whooping views of Singapore's southern coast is from the rooms of Ritz Carlton. To think of it, while I had breathtaking views of many, many places, I didn't have him with me. What a pity.

We discussed of some goblok topics. Like for an upcoming gig, some organiser planned an event dedicated against the act of death penalty in south-east asia region. Goblok as that goblok can be, even as that goblok may lay breathless in his deathbed later, the gahment till that time won't be lifting off such rulings ever. How goblok can it be to let criminools roam prison grounds for 100 years free without execution for serious drug trafficking crimes? Even the gahment still face land scarce to build more housing flats for the growing dwellers yet to expand prison buildings for all unexecutable long-term crime doers? Yah, probably changi prison might expand to 50-storeys high in time to come. That comes from taxpayers' money too.

So, if gobloks would like to cry murder, do an in-depth research first before jumping the gun. Penalties are brought in on case to case. Justifying the justice of drug crime can never be a winning programme in any ruling situation. Life is not like a box of X-BOX; you can't simply use cheat codes to steal a winning chance.

Back to my afternoon with him. We didn't get wet eventually but got really hyped-up internally after mint shisha. Amazing that in a day, I get to see 3 sets of his family roots - the arabs. Also a couple of his friends and colleagues along the way. I felt more a-glowed with the honour and yet the warp of humor still sticks in me; his zealous manner to introduce each and everyone is ever so accepting. I felt like *poofing* off in thin air due to sheer shyness! We are both who did rebelled but we still keep hold dear of our roots, family, respect and honesty. Sincerity could be felt around me today and to top it off, his cousin's arabic perfumery works did just the trick - we both ignited at the scent of rose!

Funny. We weren't as goblok as any gobloks would become. Pray that we don't become like the next goblok at the end of the street.

Wassalam.

Assalamua'laikum.

BLOODY people = shit!

(I do not, however advcocate and impart supernatural worships. No matter how high my beliefs in things ubernatural, however. I ain't totally confused. You are.)

Finally...
Here I'm holding in my hands a pair of SLIPKNOT concert tickets for August 16th 2005!

Finally...
The one outstanding controversial metal band performing in Singapore; once upon a time which could only exist in the minds of local Singaporean metal heads as a fairytale came true!

Finally...
The public publishing of the satanic pentagram is up on posters found at your nearest local bus stops, adding a touch of bizarre to holy -minded residents old & young alike. "What has Singapore come onto?" they'd say. Imagine - 15 years ago when even a simple diagram of the pentagram is known as taboo as it solicits satanic ritual activities among occultists which became the much raved-about topic at that time.

Finally...
The most listened-to metal band which incites hatred in most 99.8% of its songs is actually the favourite music material that your child listens to most of their 99% of the time.

Finally...
SLIPKNOT visits ASIA. First they'll go to Summer Sonic Festival Tokyo, @ Chiba Marine Stadium Tokyo, Japan on August 13th 2005. Next Asian destination is Singapore @ Fort Canning Park, Singapore on August 16th 2005. In South East Asia region, it'll pit-stop only in this island & bet that the rest neighbouring residents might make a visit down here to catch SLIPKNOT throwing the mayhem party for all fans. Fans are exclusively known as maggots by the 9 masked metal band. For whatever abuse that the 9 will hurl, the maggots don't care, they are fanatics of the running rope that's used to make a noose to hang oneself.

Finally...
Volume 3 The Subliminal Verses has come alive. The album's sound reality are to be featured live in front of our local audiences in a once in a lifetime ass-thrashing concert. Slipknot has many, many favourite pieces from their previous albums and all we wait for the concert day to arrive and take it in as the 9 masked members deliver it in the hard style.

Advocators of the church do you have something to say? Maybe things like this concert is a public promotion to satanism?

Finally...
Once again, this little dot on a big world map is being put into attention as news of this f***king favourite band has been broadcasted worldwide since months back.

Final words from me,
You have been forewarned. If you can't take this band as they are, the next best thing is to screw off.
