Me and Christian Music



I dont know how to say it but two of my favorite bands come from Christian music scene.
Maybe it is because of their gentle melodies or angelic voice or was it their music is actually inspiring compared to listening to the crap that channel 71 Astro are always playing.

Switchfoot is one of those rare band that played all kind of musical style and with each album,they are very tight musically and lyrically (even if the singer wrote about his God,I don't actually get the meaning) so I interpret it myself so usually I am thinking that he is telling something to his girl

Sixpence None The Richer is another Christian band that have that soothing melodies and the best part of all is the angelic voice of Leigh Nash is incomparable to anyone else.Even if she cant hit the high notes that Celine Dion can,her voice will always makes the scenery calms and soothing.


Try to listen to Switchfoot "Awakenings" or "Burn Out Bright" from their last album.For funkier classic tunes try "Innocence Again" or "Might Have Ben Hur" and try to listen to Leigh Nash solo album,Blue on Blue.

Christian Song rocks and I am not even Christian.

Weird View From Above -

Thanks to Google Earth,the discoveries of all this weird places can be seen clearly.
This picture is taken somewhere along Canada. Don't really want to know how the formation really form though.The face there is listening to an ipod.
This guy/gal is some really rich dude because he got a car and a private jet parked outside his/her home

This is similar to the traditional crop circle (watch the film "Signs").
I dont know if crop circle can be classified as traditional

A picture of a herd of an elephant resting while pooping on the great land of Africa.
A picture of Oprah Maze. Surely you can never get out of it.The emotional tension will surely be unbearable
This is the weirdest one.
A red lake.In Iraq.

Blood?Dont know.Maybe the Iraq government start a campaign to throw away all their red wine into the lake.Or is this the place where the Iraq ex-president dump the bodies of enemies.

Or maybe just more US propaganda.

Thanks to PC World for the interesting read.

Pengalaman Bertemu Dafi

Due hari lepas ada event Gegar U dekat kampus.
Aku lepak ngan student aku ramai2 pastu ada la si Dafi ni buat show,nyanyi lagu sekerat jalan pastu stop.DIe pun round2 kononnye nak entertain fans.

Student aku semua mcm merayu2 suruh aku panggilkan Dafi ni nak bergambar.AKu gi la panggil dia,"Dik,dik,bole tak tangkap gamba ngan student saya?"kata aku dgn sopan.

"Oh,bang,kejap ye.Nanti saya datang"

Dia tak dtg2 balik pun.Takpelah,aku ckp kat student aku.Baik bergambar dgn saya je.

The end.

Asian Cup - Malaysia vs China



Asian Cup Group C Malaysia (1- 5) China
Malaysia - Indra Putra Mahyuddin ('72)
China - a lot of goals


The one thing that is good about the match is that China shows Malaysia how reality is.
Our player look jaded and their coordination is well....not existed.

The match ends 5-1 to China.I left the stadium early with most of the supporter because watching Malaysia playing is a horrendous experience to anone.

We arrive early and join the fiesta of long queue for tickets and football frenzy.there was one group of Mat Salleh who come wearing the headband and scarf of our own Malaysian team.One of them was shouting "Malaysia Boleh" many times.First impression,this will be a memorable match for the Malaysian.

Memorable?Make it unpleasent.




Malaysia cant defend.They can't pass the ball properly.They cant stop the ball with their first touch.They cant continue with their style of playing long ball over the head because we are Malaysian,we are born smaller.We don't have the physical side of the game also.

But the coach thinks that we are too good and the team played that way.Long ball,over the top hoping that a flick by Hairuddin will reach a runner running behind the defender of China but there are no runners.

There were a lot of smaller teams that played football even if their size is still limiting the team.
Nearer to us,Thailand,Indonesia and the surprised package,Vietnam.they know their limitations.They play ball on the ground.Stroke the ball around and creating chances by doing the running so that opening can be created.But Malaysia play like dumb man playing football.


Fadzli Shaari and Shukor Adan can't work and Fadzli shouldn't be playing at first,because he wasnt playing at all.



The only Malaysia goal came by...playing the ball on the ground.A run by Shukor Adan and he pass it to Hairuddin Omar and he flick it to Indera Putra to score a peach of a goal.Out of the
6 goals scored,I think Malaysia goal is the best.But results count.results are needed.Fans demands results.

If we cant get the result we will demand a fighting spirit.It's better to go down fighting.
We will appreaciate if they show their hearts.

Better showing needed Malaysia.You can lose a match because it is expected but you cant lose your heart.

Album Review - Ash:Twilight of The Innocents


I am disappointed

Twelve songs,6 great songs.6 crap songs.

It's like they are trying too much to cater to all people.The single is crap.
I am frustrated.Usually Ash album contains only 2 mediocre songs at most.But if having 6 crap songs,this is crap.Mediocre > Crap

Growing old without realizing they also need to grow old mentally and lyrically.

Better comeback needed Tim Wheeler.We need better.The benchmark is still the album you wrote when you are 17 years old.Is it too high to reach now ?
