Adakah pilihan anda muktamad?

Yo listen up.

Many kinds of people in the world today
Different things they do, different things they say
Some are fucked up some are sane
Some people are just plain lame

To tell on others when they do not know
The story behind and things that follow
I’m very pissed off, what a shame
The pain you caused is bloody insane

Well-meaning some people may be
Short-sighted some people have been
In that case, please do allow me
To introduce to you the person that is Suanie

I’ll start with religion, listen to this
Sometimes I’d call myself a Buddhist
But people may argue that I’m a fraud
The Five Precepts I follow strictly - not

But Buddhism concepts I do believe
Hence I do not think that God exists
Call it a problem with authority
But I like my mind clear and free
This is your first clue here and now
That I think some societal rules are foul
Oh respect I have, in abundance even
But I just want to be slightly different

Because you see, I’m growing up
No longer can I remain a young pup
But the more candles I blow, the more I realise
A lot of things are really not THAT nice

If it were up to me, I’d legalise homosexuality
And prostitution too but that’s another story
I am for pro-choice, and here lies my point
CHOICES mean the other side of the coin

I’m not trying to be the hero
Salah pusing I end up with zero
But one thing is clear, I don’t want to be a robot
I’ll walk my own path, you can keep up with the lot

Disclaimers do not really work I know
Yet you have the CHOICE not to follow
If you’d read the archives you can really glean
That my blog is not very clean

I do realise my stupidity
And naivety in putting up that entry
But instead of running around playing misguided noseys
Wouldn’t it be BETTER to just contact ME directly?

But what is done is done, there’s no turning back
The damage you’ve caused is still on track
In future I’ll certainly be a bit more careful
Not to severely piss off silly people like you

This was meant to be a very long rant
My blood boils, I can still feel it
But after talking to one or two friends
I came to the conclusion that you are not really worth it

At the end of the day I have this to say
It’s really MY blog, MY life and MY way
It’s not my fault if I walk not your path
Don’t go crying to OTHER people if things get a little rough

Please do me a MASSIVE favour
Go read my disclaimer
Understand FIRST before you start accusing
Of things that are and things that are missing.

Bless you.

I asked for a CD of Fuuyo by Afdlin Shauki some time last week and it arrived yesterday.

I have not seen much of Afdlin Shauki’s works let alone know what he sounds like. Besides the last album by a Malay singer I bought was Siti Nurhaliza’s debut album. Yeah that was a mighty long time ago. And the recent development of Malaysia’s love for reality shows that produce not-so-commendable (in my opinion) singers are… high school efforts at best. Except for Jac, most of them do not reach graduate levels, no matter what POPULAR OPINION says. If you want to know more about the lameness of popular opinion, feel free to watch Malaysian Idol S2. That should give you some idea on why quality SHOULD precede popularity because the aftermath can be scary.

Anyway…

The CD version I received is probably the limited version for it contains a VCD ‘The making of Fuuyo’, titled Angkasawan Yang Terlampau (bwahahahaha!!!). I haven’t have time to see it - then again the focus is on the CD. A booklet is included with the lyrics and credits. Tunggu apa lagi… main CD lah!

The opening short skit had me laughing my nuts head off and it set a relaxed mood for the rest of the album.

I was quite surprised by how much I like the album… there is always a pre-conceived thinking that the Malaysian music industry mainly focuses only on kampung rock groups, nasyid groups and teeny-bopper wannabes. That was my pre-conceived thinking anyway. In the credits, Afdlin said that this is an album about love. I say that this is an album about love, life and being different. I can feel that he really put his efforts and everything he has in this album; I feel as if I have a piece of Afdlin Shauki in my room.

Afdlin does not seem to have a very wide vocal range ala Siti/Jac etc and there are moments when I feel that he was straining… but his voice was pleasing and very soothing. He composed most of the songs and lyrics himself and based on his blog, I feel that he has been very honest in this album as well.

The lyrics… oh man…

In ‘Aku Lelaki’ for example,

Aku pergi sekolah tinggi
Ada diploma dan degree
Tapi nampak gadis lawa
Cair otak bak… bak.. bak… mentega

Like some roadside pantun you just make up there and then, right??? But the way he sang it + music etc was so funny… I was laughing all the way throughout this song!

Afdlin does some slow numbers as well, I like Bukan Cinta and Waras. As I have said, there are some straining moments but somehow his honest approach made me overlook all that. My favourite song in the album is probably Mangsa Keadaan, a good jazz attempt, funny and naughty as heck!

I tell you what I am going to do with this album: keep it, send in RM36.50 and wait for Afdlin & Hattan’s blues project : Mak Ok Jer!!

I would not have such an enjoyable experience if not for Afdlin Shauki’s blog.

Which led me to thinking…

This is a darn good way to publicise your album!!!

The risks are great but Afdlin decided to let the album speak for itself. And I tell you Afdlin, the album creamed SCREAMEDDDDD!!!

Madness pays off after all.

Afdlin Shauki lost his mind

From Jeff Ooi, I found this nugget:

The recent news that a group of five online diarists, or “bloggers”, participated in a 24-hour “blogathon” to raise money for charity highlighted the important role these online journals now play in disseminating information to the Malaysian public.

Bla la la…

…Malaysia’s philanthropic fivesome registered their participation in the event on a web site where blog entries were posted for 24 hours continuously. Each of the team blogged for four hours with updates every 30 minutes, eventually raising RM5080 ($1350) for a local charity…

Sounds like some people you know? Tee-hee.
