Kenapa....? by Adam Ismadi

since tomorrow is HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, i would like to wish all Selamat Hari Lebaran, semoga bergembira menyambut kedatangan Syawal bersama mereka yg tersayang, dan berasa sayu kerana Ramadan hampir meninggal kan kita. Sama2 kita mengunggu kedatangan Ramadan pada tahun hadapan, insyallah...

Saya juga ingat meminta kemaafan dgn hati yg tulus ikhlas dari semua.... kerana saya seorang insan yg penuh dengan kekurangan. Segala kekurangan dan kesalahan akan cuba diperbaiki lagi selepas ini.... mari kita sama memakan lemang, rendang, ketupat, kuah kacang, etc.... yess food heaven!!!

my server is currently OFFLINE, i'm moving. i need to move my streamyx line too. so this will take some time. most probably till END of next week! so till then, this blog will not be serving any songs nor photos. i am sorry. it will back sometime END of NEXT WEEK insyallah...

he is something like a younger sinatra. or sinatra wanna be. kinda harry connick jr -ish. anyhow he looks and sounds great, better than harry. so do check him out. to you people who have no idea who frank sinatra and harry connick jr is, i'd say buble is like a male version of norah jones or diana krall. he sings those old classics. btw he's canadian, from vancouver (my favourite city in north america), and 28 year old. his name is pronouced boo-blay (italian) not bubble. hehehe....

this guy has been around for a while now. most of my friends i've told has actually bought his album like 5 months ago. it seems that i am really way in the dark of all this new talents. i do not own a TV. i don't even watch TV! p/s : i live in a cave? back to buble... from his album my favourite songs are 'How could you mend a broken heart' which is an old classic by the bee gees and he sang it again with them!!! amazing stuff! i love the song...

another favourite of mine is 'Kissing a fool' which is a George Michael's hit. with a light swing-ish feel to it. nice... very smooth voice! great lyrics... as usual u can get both songs on the links under my favourite photo! just for fun i'm gonna include a more upbeat song he sang, its 'Sway'. Countless version of this song has been released, by artist from all sort of genres! Buble's rendition of the song is just as good! these are the type of songs that i'd really listen to all day long. be it while driving in the manic traffic in the morning to work, or while lazying about at home before sleep. well do listen to his song, i've enjoyed them immensely and i hope you'd love them too...

its final, i am moving out of my current house into my new place which will save me from turning insane. i really cannot take the suicidal traffic condition esp. when coming back from work! this new place is only 10 minutes from my office, right smack in KL. i got quite a good deal on the apt too! secure covered parking, and a balcony with KLCC view. kira ok la... and cheap too! only rm700. well... i cannot wait to move in! paid the deposit the other day and the agent will let us move in a week earlier, thats just swell...! and he will clean up the apt really good before we move in!

i think i love him already! hehhehee.... he really made my life much easier! i'm actually taking a break from my packing duties. so many things. now i know i have too too many stuffs! i need to send some back to kampung. pointless to keep all this junk! i don't have the space! i'm actually gonna move this coming weekend, Saturday 22nd November 2003.

klana jaya seafood centre was errr... again ok! ate some chilli crabs and prawns, some fish and rendang.... the normal stuffs... nothing special here. i think the 'buffet buka puasa scene' this year is really really over rated. i normally avoid buffet if i'm paying, because i will end up eating some much crap just to get even!? hehehe... today, insyallah, gonna buka puasa in chilli's with two of my good buddies. this is the dishing out and catching up time! chilli's is great because the nachos and drinks are bottomless... and we can sit there for hours!!! great eh?! we loved it! i think i'm gonna have either softest juicy tender moist ribs or triple play (though its an appetiser tapi nak makan as entree jugak!). but most probably triple play la... macam2 boleh makan ada spicy drummets, crispy chinken breast and some mexican poppiah! plus there 3 types of dips... it my favourite now! nyummy!!! hehehehe... eat it with nachos... ok enuf food talk!

well hey gimme a break it is Friday! even though i won't be working tomorrow i was ask to join in a project our team are currently handling... VLAN deployement in the HQ office. pretty exciting stuffs really... just that the office have decided to go with 3Com (the decision made long before i join the company) instead of Cisco. if its cisco devices i'd have a better grasp of it all... but 3Com pun 3Com la... apa leh buat?

is it legally ok to update this blog while still in working hours in the office using their equipments? hmmm... i dunno... i cannot justify all this. but today is still not busy for me.... u know bulan puasa, everything moves rather slowly... everyone is not too excited to work too hard really. i am very excited to work but have not yet assigned to any NEW project. this VLAN task i am just joining in to observe, learn, and help out as much as i can. i hardly have much idea on the whole layout, coz i missed an important meeting yesterday due to some breakdown in communication. my part in this task is a minor one... so i think no one missed me!

well have a berbuka puasa thingie in kelana jaya seafood centre tomorrow. hope its good. i went to nikko hotel for berbuka puasa yesterday. both are paid by our suppliers, vendors. kira belanja laa.... nikko was nice... but rm70+ a head not worth the money if u r paying for yourself.... but nice kalau free! they have oysters! no sushi nor sashimi. :-(

looking forward for kelana jaya seafood centre tomorrow!!! yippy!!! free food!

seriously, i am not the type of guy that would really delve deep into lyrics of a song. but a buddy of mine asked me to listen to this song... A Voice Within by Christina Aguilera. its simply awe inspiring... so i want to share it, get the song, and digest the lyrics!

A Voice Within by Christina Aguilera

Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it's all right
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly

When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
And soon you're gonna see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside look inside to your soul

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Yeah...
Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know

You'll make it
You'll make it
Just don't go forsaking yourself
No one can stop you
You know that I'm talking to you

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall

i've done some small changes on my blog. firstly, there's the music link. u can download the songs by clicking the links on the bottom left hand corner of the page. all the songs are on my personal server, all have been scanned for viruses. the files there are compressed (ie *.zip). u will have to download and then uncompress them in order to get the mp 3 files! don't worry its all pretty safe and i hope easy enough! i am only going to make 2 songs available at any one time so watch out for updates!!!

one more addition to my blog is the 'about me' link on the top of the page. a little general info of me, sort of my biodata page. so trying to finish up the album page... but that is kinda a lottttt of work! so as i said gonna need time to get that done! Had sahur just now... waiting for subuh. Feeling quite excited to go to work with the new company. I'll be in the HQ dept. today, settling some HR stuffs, i would think registration, bank account, ID security card, and gosh who knows what else?!! Only after that i'll be finally or hopefully be reporting into my actual office.

i hope everything will go smooooooothly today!!!
