Ahhh

Maman singing (sound check) Kasih Ku Pinjam Wajah during the Malam Kebudayaan Islam 3 @ Fort Canning Nov 2009..full length dvd of the whole show will be out soon. Indeed an unforgettable nite.

Transformation

Thur, probably not a good day, for now. Thur is the day where i hv to talk and talk..8 hrs of class with half an hour break in between. Talking to classes of 40 for 6 hours and a class of 100...yeah 100..the next 2hrs. Boleh pecah anak tekak wa ckp lu.
Instructing is not as easy as u think it is...u may be expert in the knowledge that u instruct, but to get the point across to the whole class and demand their absolute attention is bloody hell tricky. Yes i demand absolute undivided attention when i'm teaching .
There are two ways of putting ur point across and i always interchange each other, apply whichever i deem fit....the first way is to instil fear, the army style...second way is thru humour and light hearted instructions.
Most important thing is not to get carried away.
This is an energy sapping job...but the satisfaction that u gain from it is worthwhile. I always hv this sense of achievement whenever i see the transformation in them....the satisfaction gained is priceless.

Change the world!

As usual, been bz with everything. Its good to be bz...it means that u are still needed...dapur pun boleh berasap. But honestly, the pay that i'm getting for doing wat i'm doing rite now is secondary.. important?..yes of course. Primary concern or reason for doing this is to get the message across, and share the luv for music and life. The best way is to lead by example...show that u hv the passion and the students will follow suit...may not be all, but at least i've managed to leave an impression to some of them... i hope.
Its hard...and challenging....but that doesnt mean u cant change the world,...yerp...the world. Everyone is capable of doing it...we hv this powerful tool called 'will power' to make things happen. Move forward, take up the challenge, grab that opportunity, will urself to make it happen, and will it like crazy...u will achieve it, most important thing do not give up and nvr nvr say 'i cant do it'

on and off

mcm biskot btol lah, kejap dtg kejap ilang, kjap ok kjap tak ok. I'm fighting the battle with the flu bug ... and now the cough bug. I will not succumb to ur wants, i will not be defeated, i'm in control over my body. Test of endurance, mind over matter...if u dont mind then it doesnt matter. I've been far more worst than this.
Sajer je nak psycho diri. U need to tell urself that everything is going to be fine then all will fall into place. Always say u can do and the know how to do will develop by itself.
Lets sidetrack a little...i hv found someone whom i can impart the knowledge of music making...the real music making as a form of art and expression, not bounded by textbooks and exam pieces. So, lets see how far can this go.
Finally, watched Avatar...yah yah...mcm dah ketinggalan zaman gituk....everybody else in this planet hv watched ages ago. Awesome movie...period. They shld do something with the 3D specs, its like cloudy siak...i shall wait for the dvd...maybe by then i wld hv gotten a blu-ray player.
k tu je for now

The protege

And i tot that i hv been cleared from the flu bug. It struck again lah! Shouldnt hv talk or blog abt it....kan skrg dah datang balek. MC today, skipped the morning classes and becos of that all my plans hv been jeorpadised..binget siak. Next week hv to buck up with these skipped classes. Afternoon went to BVS for their cca...new members joined in for the first time...31 of them! This is by far the most numbers compared to my other schools...so now total members close to 100 students!I've yet to find a protege...someone whom i can impart all the necessary skils and knowledge to continue with this journey of mine...i'm not getting any younger u know, although there are several potential individuals, but they need to be proven first.
