Me goosebump when He Sang

Wah, Hafiz did it again! I clapped my hands when they done with the duet while my mom looked at me in surprised.

me: Ndak dek meda maneh amat bujang siko nya belagu indai?
(didn't you see how beautifully he sang, mom?)

i asked my mom... well, no matter what my mom answered was, i had a goose bump and Miss Adibah Noor felt the same too :)Hafiz sang well and he hit right on the first note, he sang well with his 2nd voice or should i they sang in harmony! Not many people can do that, even the profesional Malaysian artist rarely sang harmonizely. Either they sing in 2 octaves, 1 low and 1 high and that's it. But nowadays, the tradition has been broken. More and more new young artist able to do it. Good example, Hafiz and Mila abd Claudia and Vince.I guess i want to watch it live next week lah.. It has been a while i didn't go to KL, why not??

Hmmm, some changes tonight, the AF song is not yet been sang... That means ASTRO do listened to people's complaint and request! Thank you and syabas for that transformation. Not difficult, right? Talking about the stage, more colorful molecules appeared. When i was in Brussels, my friend Mathew brought me for sight seeing in the city. We arrived at a park and i saw a huge building. It is not a monument ya, because we can enter into that moleculer structure until the top floor by escalator and stair case! So the atomium looks similar to those colorful molecules on the AF stage.

Neway, i enjoyed all the AF7 concert especially Hafis and Aisyah. Adibah Noor is so professional with her words and comments. Should ask her to replace Dato Khaty. Can't wait to see the finale song.

I'm looking forward to seeing Hafiz next week. I just bought my ticket online!

All the best Hafiz

It's 7.30pm and i'm updating my blog. Just came back from the hospital to visit my fiance mom whom was just admitted due to high blood pressure. I learnt something that when ones have a blood pressure, do not ever stress, overwork, drink alcohol, no smoking please, take care of your salt intake, don't eat good food all the days, excersze a lot, drink a lot of waters, eat fruits and vages, don't watch AF diary if you hate any of the students, stay away from Malaysia politics, have sufficient of sleep, smile and laugh often, drink a bottle of 100+ if you want too, hug your pithui(the cat), humming your favourite tunes, go outing with your partner, window shopping and finally read Mr Manager's blog. It works for me :)
I'm still waiting for AF to start, very soon. I hope Hafiz will do his usual magic and entertain every one who have ears and appreciate and support him.

------pause for a while, Pithui is walking in front of me----------------

Back to Hafiz, i'm planning to buy his t-shirt, but where to get, i have no idea.. Oh, Mila is Hafiz partner for the duet. Not bad! But i prefer either Marsha or Stacy lah... Bu, Mila is fine...she's the champion during AF5 kan? Hm, i got some message from a source saying that Claudia would be out tonight.Sw$wq$wt(*796WEQ8EQWSEQWE, WWHY IS MARSHA DUETING WITH aril?

What happen tomorrow?

Tomorrow is a good Friday and it is a public holiday. I wonde why it is called Good Friday...
Yesterday I took a half day leave and again, today I also am taking another half day force leave. I don’t know what to do later, no plan yet. Last night I went to church with the rest of the family. It’s lent, the holy week as the Christian called it. It’s the final week where my Lord Jesus is going to be hang on the cross, to settle our sins and debts from the devil. Jesus death means victory over sins and death for me personally. Just imagine that you are in his shoes. Every millisecond is so crucial. That’s not it, being ask to stand in front of the ruler, Pontius Pilot and his team, while you are so weak and defend less. It’s is full of humiliation, rage, and pain. Pain? Why note, it’s the mentally and physically pain. Jesus was tortured like no men’s business and his flesh were ripped out from the body due to the sharp object. Just imagine that… If it was me, I don’t know whether I can stand it or not…
Are you the King of Jews? PP asked Jesus. If it was me, I surely use my extraordinary power and perform some miracle by changing PP into someone else, or perhaps some earthquake to able me to escape somewhere else… well, Jesus did good job changing water into wine!
BUT, if I do that, the prophecy would not be fulfilled and Jesus knew that and He must fulfill the prophecy which He, as my God, as promised earlier! Lord, why you have to suffer? It was on Thursday that you had your last supper with your bestest friend. ‘’Do this in remembrance of Me,’’ Just imagine how would I feel if I know that you are leaving us for good. Even when I visited Pastor Esther in KL hospital, I could not hold my tears and I melt like wax. I think, that night, after the supper, the disciples would cry and cry until there’s no more tears. As for Jesus him-selves, he was just a human being, whom had great responsibilities on his shoulder. He went up to a hill and prayed and I know that he perspire not only water, but blood too. Hati sapa ndak takut, even when I face all my problems, my blood pressure increase and I will not have a good sleep.
The next day, Friday morning, he was betrayed as written. Being judged, tortured and mock and he carried a wood all the way to the Golgotha hill. I think it was during lunch time and you can imagine how hungry and thirsty he was. I think he was wearing a cheap cotton robe, trying to hold the hanging flesh and blood on his weak body. Every citizen was watching an innocent man walking towards his on death. He was nailed on the same wood which was made crossed for his hands. A crucifixion was formed where a man was hang on it for 3 long hot hours! Yes, Jesus was alone there. “Father, father, why have you forsaken Me?

Religious freedom: 'Allah' part of Iban prayers

By : TAN SRI LEO MOGGIE ANAK IROK, Kuala Lumpur

2009/04/06
VIEWS attributed to influential personalities, including Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, prohibiting the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims are very disturbing -- including for those of us whose mother tongue is Iban.



Islam is the official religion of this country. No one questions that. Similarly, the Constitution guarantees the right of religious freedom.

Followers of different faiths worship in their own ways and there is always some sensitivity attached to religious issues. Thus, I will not touch on matters of theology or religious doctrine. Moreover, this is more a question of language.

I am told that "Allah" is a standard Arabic word for God and is also widely used in the Middle East by non-Muslims.

Datuk Daud Abdul Rahman, assistant minister in the Chief Minister's Department (Islamic Affairs) in the Sarawak government, noted that the word had been used by the followers of the Sidang Injil Borneo in Sarawak for more than 50 years.
Furthermore, the Majlis Islam Sarawak does not think that Muslims in Sarawak are confused when non-Muslims use the word "Allah" in their liturgy (Borneo Post -- March 9).

My parents and family members were baptised into the Catholic faith in 1947. As a 6-year-old boy, I was taught to pray to "Allah Taala". The Creed, the acclamation of faith in the Christian prayer, when rendered in Iban begins as follows: "Aku arap ke siko aja' Allah Taala, Apai Ke besai Kuasa, Ke ngaga Seruga enggau dunia."

In my own immediate family, through inter-marriage, there are Muslims, Christians and Hindus. Once a year, at Gawai Dayak, we visit the family longhouse. When the prayer leader reads excerpts from the Iban translation of the Bible, the words "Allah Taala" are an integral part of the prayers.

After the Gawai, when we return to Kuala Lumpur, the grandchildren continue to attend mengaji lessons. There is no hint of confusion among the Muslim members of the family.

Ahmad Zahid is no ordinary individual. He received the highest number of votes among the three newly elected vice-presidents in Umno. Going by tradition, it may be expected he will be appointed to a senior and important portfolio in the new cabinet line-up.

One hopes when he is given wider responsibility, as different from aspiring to a post in Umno, he will recognise that those of us who use the word "Allah" or "Allah Taala" in our Christian prayers and publications have no other agenda but to practise our faith in our own language.

How can that be made illegal?

3 More days

bukan dengan barang fana
kau membayar dosaku
dengan darah yg mahal
tiada noda dan cela

bukan dengan emas perak
kau menebus diriku
oleh s'genap kasih
dan pengorbanaMU

ku telah mati
dan tinggalkan
cara hidupku yang lama
semuanya sia-sia
dan tak beerti lagi
hidup ini kuletakkan
pada mezbahMU ya TUHAN
jadilah padaku
seperti yang kau ingini
