Nervous Break Down

I just woke up from my sleep. Now i'm started to get nervous for tonight's concert. I know those students are more nervous than i am but ok, let it be fare, we all are nervous! Since my flight is within 2 more hours, i decided to add something in my blog. I just want to wish all 4 contestent all the best. To Isma, Akim, Yazid and especially to Hafiz!.

Hafiz, the Sarawakian is really aiming and putting their hope in you. We all are doing our very best job with our fingers and thumbs by voting you. Some even spends hundreds of dollars even some are risking their monthly bills just for you to emerge as a champion. In Short, tonight you must perform extra well, use every knowledges that you had gain in the academy and be the very best among the very best!

But whatever the result is going to be, we will accept it and life will defenitly different. Your life will obviously will be different compare to yesterday. But our advise is just stay humble, remember where you come from and love your family.


I believe that you can do it.

All the best to you!


Personally, my life would be change too. My routine will be back to normal and my priority would change soon. No more AF for me (i hope so. sorry AF8***), less chatting in the net i guess. I'll surely introduce Hafiz to my family and i will encourage them to buy Hafiz original single album! If there's Hafiz Fan Club in Kuching, I'm eager to become the member. I'll be looking forward to seeing his live concert - with my future wife of course.

Now i have not 2 BUT 3 idols. Julia Roberts, Harrison Ford and last but not least,

Hafiz AF7!

Hafiz A Star is Born!

I read the article ini Hafizfc blog today. He was at the airport before flying off to KL to achive his dream as one of Malaysian new ICON. Hafiz asked his cousin a question

'' What if i don't win .... '' - Hafiz AF7

If wishes worked like magic,
And plans worked that way too,
And everything you wished for,
Whether good or bad for you,
Immediately was granted
With no effort on your part,
You’d experience no fulfillment
Of your spirit or your heart.

For things achieved too easily
Lose their charm and meaning too,
For it is life’s difficulties
And the trials we go through
That makes us strong in spirit
And endow us with the will
To surmount the insurmountable
And to climb the highest hill.

So wish not for the easy way
To win your heart’s desire,
For the joy’s in overcoming
And withstanding flood and fire,
For to triumph over trouble
And grow stronger with defeat
Is to win the kind of victory
That will make your life complete.

Double Identity

It is still hot. The aircond is on every night since Monday. After work, I went to the Spring to pay my credit card debts. Yeah, they do have the vending machine at the ground floor. Later I went to the MPH book store to get some books, yeah, this is the only way I can get rebates from the income tax. It really helps! The books rebate is RM1k.. Phew.. Rugi kalau tidak beli buku. So I bought 2 thick books about house decorations.
Well, I’m buying a new small house but it’s really difficult to do the arrangement because it is so small. It’s difficult to choose the furniture because once the house is fill with furnitures, it looks like a cramp, crowded warehouse! I really need guidance!
Sigh… Oh yeah, I asked for the Sarawak flag in case the MPH do sell the flag there. But too bad, they don’t have the flag!!! The cashier suggested that I go to the King Centre because it’s available there.. Hmm tomorrow, Perhaps?

At home I saw Caludia and Akim is playing around. Oh yeah, my neice Megan wanted the whole family to call her Claudia or Siti Aisyah(AF7) while my 8 year old nephew Ezra wanted to be called Akim. So Akim ran to me,

Akim: Uncle Bet, did you get the song from that Bunfatch?
Me: Bunfatch? What Bunfatch
Akim: Bunfat bah…
Me: oh, Bunk Face..

Now I recall that he was asking for the Situasi song by Bunk Face since last week. So I go to my room and on the broadband and do search for the song and together with the chords. Hmm, i never thought that song started with Bm and then F#... So a after I got it, we all walked to the main living room. So I played the piano while Akim sing and did his shuffle. Claudia grabbed her tambourine and join us later.

Akim: Uncle Bet , one more time
Me: Ok…..

I enjoyed myself that evening. Actually I never like this song, but it’s no harm for the sake of the children. After everything was done, everybody was happy so I told Akim.

Me: Akim? Ok kah?
Akim: Ok Uncle Abet, enough.
Me: Ok, now you two can call me Hafiz :)

They both *wink* *wink*

Hot Tuesday

Argghh.. the weather was so unfriendly for the last few days. It was so hot. I'm watching the daily af show. I don't want to watch since the monkey is already in there, he makes me want to puke all the time, vomit blood....
I didn't managed to send my song which i composed especially for Hafiz for the final, because i don't know where to send it... hmm what a lame excuse. BUt actually it's true. I did ask many people including Mr Badrul who works for Astrom but sadly his indirect responed was, i was too late! So passive lah me.
I really can't wait for the final concert. I really want my normal life back. I want my Saturday night outing back! Due to the Saturday concert, everthing seems to be slowing down and my activities that night mostly on watching AF concerts, AF diaries, channel 109 and beleive it or not, i even watch the siaran ulangan in that small box of channel 109. It has been a while i didn't watch movie with my fiance, soon we are husband and wife and it all happen within this month!
People did asked me to be prepare mentally. But i don't know what they mean.. what ever obstacles that comes into our life, we will oversome it, yeah, we have made our vows during our engagement;

I'll be with you in times of pain, when we are poor, when i have nothing and when i'm sick and so on.. so what?

It;s 12th May, 18 more days to do.. hehehe, I don't beleive it that i'm getting married! Never i can imagine to find the guts to talk and to tell mom that i'm interested with Snah and i want to get enggaged with her. I never being so brave that i went alone for a dinner one evening just to meet Snah's family members, yeah i was alone! It was a long night!

Well, those were only a step towards a long journey. The journey which my grandparents, my parents, and my sisters had took. Some had reached the end of their journey while some is still moving ahead steadyly, while Snah and I just found our 'right socks and shoes' and some tools and jigs.. in case we need them. But we know the good Lord Jesus is our guide and the Holy spirit is our teacher.

What ever will be will be, that's what someone's mom always said. So ,let's just do the very best today, learn from the past and what ever comes tomorrow, face it bravely in Jesus name.

Hafiz in the final

Last night it was a superb show by the super hero. Hafiz did great in his 1st song and a blast for the 2nd one. I love how the lightings helped him in the opening of the I beleive I can Fly song, as if he was flying up in the sky. I know that Hafiz family, Kak Sal, Indailatana, Mr Bad, Ms Shea, Jeth, cantik and everyone whom support him including me, felt so satisfied when he did his presentation so memorably and heart touching too that he received the standing ovations from many people including some loyal viewers cum the customers at the Hadi Dahia cafe. To me, that night was Hafiz best performance. Bias? Yeah, actually he always gave his very best in every songs! Very consistent and improve week by week. No wonder he is in the final! Kudos Hafiz!

Happy Mother's Day to my dear beloved mom too :) I love you mak!
