David Sanborn

Renowned and revered the world over as one of the greatest saxophone players of all-time, David Sanborn is an artist whose music has inspired countless other musicians while creating a body of work that spans the genres of rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, pop and jazz. A naturally gifted performer, David has helped defined the saxophone’s modern sound while influencing a generation.


Born July 30, 1945 in Tampa, Florida, David William Sanborn contracted polio when he was only 3 years old. As a part of his rehabilitative therapy, David was introduced to the saxophone. It was an introduction with consequences quite beyond the imagination of his parents, doctors – or anyone else. The selection of the alto sax – a favourite from David’s days spent listening to the radio – would prove to be a pivotal moment in the development of his sound.

Growing up in St. Louis, Missouri, David was tremendously inspired by the rich legacy of great Chicago blues artists who would play their way through town. Before he was finished high school, David had played with names such as Albert King and Little Milton. "When I was 17 or 18,” David has said, "And it was time to figure out what to do with my life, I realized that I didn't enjoy anything as much as I enjoyed playing music. I felt that I had no choice, that I HAD to become a musician. Either that or steal cars."

David studied music for a year at Northwestern University before transferring to the University of Iowa. By 20, he was married and the proud father of a son – Jonathan Sanborn – for whom each of David’s records have been dedicated. A phone call from an old friend in San Francisco – drummer Teddy Steward – convinced David to head for California. It was while in San Francisco that another old friend – Phillip Wilson – who had recently joined the Butterfield Blues Band, invited David to Los Angeles to sit-in on recording sessions with the band. “I got on a Greyhound bus from San Francisco to LA, took a bus into Hollywood, slept on the floor of Phillip's hotel room and went to the studio with him.” David has said. “Just had my horn. I think it was because I looked so pathetic, standing there with my horn, Paul Butterfield said, "Why don't you just come and play on a tune?" I sat in and I did okay. And I was with Butterfield for almost five years.”

Those five years saw David –with the Butterfield Blues Band – play Woodstock, among many other classic gigs. But the demise of that band only brought David new opportunities and within a week he was touring with another legend – Stevie Wonder. David played on Wonder’s remarkable “Talking Book” LP, rocked briefly with rock and roll heroes The Rolling Stones then toured with David Bowie, eventually performing his famous solo on Bowie’s 1975 recording “Young Americans.”

It was also in 1975 that David released his first solo album Taking Off. The record enjoyed respectable sales and while David continued working with other performers such as Paul Simon and James Taylor he also continued flexing his considerable muscles as a solo artist, eventually scoring massive popular hits with 1980’s Hideaway and 1981’s Grammy winning Voyeur.

1983 saw David branch off in a new artistic direction with his first acting roll in the Italian film "Stelle Sulla Citta" for which he also scored the soundtrack. It was also in ’83 that David released his landmark Backstreet album which proved a major hit in the world of contemporary jazz.

David was awarded his second Grammy in 1986 for the album Double Vision and in the late 1980s hosted one of the most remarkable musical television programs of all time – Night Music. Offering up old films of jazz legends, music talk and incredible jams by an increasingly eclectic roll call of musicians from different fields, Night Music is fondly remembered among music fans as a groundbreaking and genre-bursting show. Produced by Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, Night Music brought artists as diverse as Sonny Rollins, Leonard Cohen, Hank Crawford, Conway Twitty, Sonic Youth, Al Green and the Pixies together on one program.
Throughout the nineties and into the present, David has continued to tour and record, having amassed a wide and enthusiastic fan base around the world. The albums Pearls, Songs From The Night Before and Essentials reflect the essence of an artist at peace with his own sound and development, yet still hungry – eager to explore the possibilities of his instrument and his abilities.

David Sanborn is both musician and artist – that rare breed of popular recording star as eager today as he was in his youth to continue pushing boundaries and to continue making music that challenges the mind as it rewards the heart and soul.

Alwyn Lopez Jarreau

Alwyn Lopez Jarreau (born March 12, 1940 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin), known popularly as Al Jarreau, is an American, Grammy Award–winning jazz singer. Versatile in his singing style, Jarreau is a six-time Grammy-nominated vocalist and the only vocalist in history to win a Grammy Award in three separate categories: jazz, pop, and R&B.As the son of a vicar, he had his first singing experiences in a church choir.

He attended Ripon College, where he also sang non-professionally with a group called the Indigos, and graduated in 1962. He went on to earn a master’s degree in Vocational Rehabilitation from the University of Iowa, and worked as a rehabilitation counselor in San Francisco before joining a small jazz club trio headed by George Duke and deciding that he would make professional singing his life.

He appeared in such Los Angeles hot spots as Dino’s, the Troubador and Bitter End West. Television exposure came from Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin and David Frost, while he expanded his nightclub appearances to include performing at the Improv between the acts of such rising-star comics as Bette Midler, Jimmie Walker, and John Belushi, among others.He was spotted by Warner Bros. in 1975 and soon thereafter released his critically acclaimed debut album, We Got By, which catapulted him into international fame and garnered him a German Grammy Award. A second German Grammy would follow with the release of his second album, Glow.One of Jarreau’s most commercially and artistically successful albums is Breakin’ Away (1981), which includes the hit song “We’re in This Love Together.”

He wrote and performed the Grammy-nominated theme to the 1980s American television show Moonlighting. Among other things, he is well-known for his scat singing and the ability to perfectly imitate conventional guitar, bass and percussive instrumentation. He was also a featured vocalist on USA for Africa’s “We are the World” and sang the line, “…and so we all must lend a helping hand.”He has toured and performed with such greats as Joe Sample, Kathleen Battle, Miles Davis, David Sanborn and Rick Braun.

He also performed the role of the Teen Angel in a 1996 Broadway production of Grease. On March 6, 2001 he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His star is located at 7083 Hollywood Boulevard on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue.

Marion Meadows

Born in West Virginia, saxophonist Marion Meadows – whose ethnic mix is Native American, African American and Caucasian – grews up in Stamford, Connecticut, where he began playing clarinet and studying classical music at eight years old.

His passion for different types of music led him to appreciate numerous jazz musicians, including Stanley Turrentine, Sidney Bichet, Johnny Hodges, Duke Ellington and Coleman Hawkins, and he naturally gravitated to the soprano sax in his high school years. Fortunately for the smooth jazz fans who have embraced his sweet and funky soprano sound over the last decade, Meadows decided to take a few very important trips to Europe during his junior and senior years.

He had dreamed of being either a veterinarian or zoologist, and assumed he would enroll in college as a pre-med major. Playing the sax was just a hobby until he saw the way audiences reacted to him and his student cohorts in Holland, Italy and Austria.“The first trip was with my high school band and the second was a graduation gift to me and a few other guys playing over there in a big band setting,” he says. “It was exciting seeing positive newspaper articles about my playing in Italy, receiving all sorts of accolades and feeling the excitement of interaction with the crowd.

It was a tremendous rush, and lit the fire.”After studying jazz with Anthony Truglia, Meadows attended Berklee College of Music, where he majored in arranging and composition. He later went to the SUNY Purchase School for the Arts, where he studied under Ron Herder. “I got a lot of sideman jobs in college, and I have always said I got a graduate degree playing clubs,” adds Meadows, who perfected his craft studying with Joe Henderson, Dave Liebman and Eddie Daniels. “Not long after I finished school, (well-known jazz drummer) Norman Connors recorded my song ‘Invitation’ and then asked me to join his band. I later produced his Passion album with him.

Things just fell into place.”Meadows first hit the airwaves in 1991 with For Lovers Only, but his career really began one day in the late ‘80s at New York’s Grand Central Station. He had been a sideman with Connors for three years with only vague notions of eventually going solo. Then one day, as the oft-told story goes, he was waiting for a train, pulled out his horn and began playing under the huge dome. His sweet sound caught the attention of fellow traveler, TV composer Jay Chattaway, who was so impressed that he hooked Meadows up with legendary keyboardist Bob James. James signed Meadows to a deal with his TappanZee label, and though Meadows’ first recording went unreleased, the experience put him on the road to his eventual success.

Meadows hooked up with numerous artists and musicians and became a well known sideman in his own right, recording or performing over the years with Brook Benton, Eartha Kitt, Phyllis Hyman, Jean Carne, The Temptations, Michael Bolton, Angela Bofill, Will Downing and Native American flute player Douglas Spotted Eagle, among many others. In the late ‘80s, Meadows stretched his usual pop/jazz boundaries as a member of a New York avant-garde band called the Aboriginal Music Society. He was performing in Japan when he got the call that RCA Records was interested in signing him to a solo deal, based on his first album which he had recorded and financed himself.

Meadows became a staple of the smooth jazz format with his subsequent recordings, which include Keep It Right Here (1993), Forbidden Fruit (1994) and Body Rhythm (1996). After moving from his home in Connecticut to Phoenix, Arizona, Meadows signed with Heads Up International and released Another Side of Midnight (1999). A contemporary tribute to city life, his label debut was considered by critics to be his strongest work to date.

His subsequent heads Up discography has been equally successful on an artistic as well as commercial level: Next To You (2000), featured a mix of R&B-influenced jazz coupled with sensual Latin rhythms; In Deep (2002), a neo-soul blend of jazz, R&B and hip-hop, brimmed with sophisticated arrangements and impressive tenor/soprano playing; Players Club (2004) paid tribute to Meadows’ fellow musicians with a seamless mix of contemporary jazz and soulful R&B.

All four Heads Up recordings have been well received by his ever-growing, always loyal fans. Dressed To Chill, scheduled for release on May 23, 2006, is the latest chapter in Meadows’ satisfying tradition of cool sophistication.“I’ve been involved in a lot of projects, both my own and group efforts,” says Meadows, “and my main objective is to keep growing as an artist and engage the fans who have invested so much emotion in my music and my career. Aside from that wonderful sense of live communication, the real magic for me happens in the studio when I put on those headphones and begin to play. That’s where the ideas just start to flow. Everything else in my musical life comes out of that moment.”

Everette Harp

What can you say about Everette Harp, smooth, real smooth sax playing!!!Everette Harp started playing piano at two and began practicing saxophone at the age of four. The youngest of the eight children of a minister, gospel music was one of Harp’s earliest influences.


Harp started playing jazz in high school, and graduated from North Texas State University with a music major in the early 1980s. While there he joined Phi Beta Sigma. Working as an accountant for a short time, Harp played in local bands before moving to Los Angeles in 1988. He immediately toured briefly with Teena Marie, and then internationally with Anita Baker.


In 1992, Harp released his self-titled solo debut.Soon after Harp played at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and began weekly appearances on The Arsenio Hall Show. He continued to play & tour with notables, including Chaka Khan, George Duke, Chante Moore, Anita Baker, Kenny Loggins, Brenda Russell, Marcus Miller, Dianne Reeves, and many more. Harp is also known for his performances with Marcus Miller along with David Sanborn and Wayne Shorter.

He also performed “Soul Train ‘93” (You Know You Want to Dance)” with the rap group Naughty by Nature in 1993.

Sadao Watanabe

Sadao Watanabe is Japan’s most famous saxophone player. Born February 1st, 1933, in Utsunomiya in the Tochigi prefecture of Japan, Watanabe began playing the alto sax after moving to Tokyo at the age of 18. He went on to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston from 1962 to 1965.

He plays both alto and soprano saxophone, and has collaborated with internationally renowned artists such as Chico Hamilton, Gary Peacock, Chic Corea and Kikuchi Masabumi.

Mr Sax

The saxophone (commonly referred to simply as sax) is a conical-bored musical instrument considered a member of the woodwing family. Saxophones are usually made of brass and are played with a single- reed mouthpiece similar to the clarinet. The saxophone was invented by Adolhle Sax in the early 1840s, and patented in 1846 in two groups of seven instruments each. Each series consisted of instruments of various sizes in alternating transposition. The series pitched in B♭ and E♭, designed for military bands, has proved extremely popular and most saxophones encountered today are from this series. A few saxophones remain from the less popular orchestral series pitched in C and F.

While proving very popular in its intended niche of military band

music, the saxophone is most commonly associated with popular music, big band music, blues and particularly jazz. There is also a substantial repertoire of concert music in the classical idiom for the members of the saxophone family. Saxophone players are called saxophonists.

History
The saxophone was developed in the 1840s by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian - born instrument-maker, flautist, and clarinetist working in Paris. While still working at his father's instrument shop in Brussels, Sax began developing an instrument which had the projection of a brass instrument with the mobility of a woodwind. Another priority was to create an instrument which, while similar to the clarinet, would overblow at the octave, unlike the clarinet, which rises in pitch by a twelfth when overblown; an instrument which overblew at the octave would have identical fingering for both registers.

Prior to his work on the saxophone, Sax made several improvements to the bass clarinet by improving its keywork and acoustics and extending its lower range. Sax was also a maker of the then-popular ophicleide,

a large conical brass instrument in the bass register with keys similar to a woodwind instrument. His experience with these two instruments allowed him to developed the skills and technologies needed to make the first saxophones. Adolph sax created an instrument with a single reed mouthpiece like a clarinet, conical brass body like an ophicleide, and the acoustic properties of the flute.

Having constructed saxophones in several sizes in the early 1840s, Sax applied for, and received, a 15-year patent for the instrument on June 28, 1846.

The patent encompassed 14 versions of the fundamental design, split into two categories of seven instruments each and ranging from sopranino to contrabass. In the group Sax envisaged for orchestral work, the instruments transposed at either F or C, while the "military band" group included instruments alternating between E♭ and B♭. The orchestral soprano saxophone was the only instrument to sound at concert pitch. All the instruments were given an initial written range from the B below the treble staff to the F three ledger lines above it, giving each saxophone a range of two and a half octaves.

Sax's patent expired in 1866;

thereafter numerous saxophonists and instrument manufacturers implemented their own improvements to the design and keywork. The first substantial modification was by a French manufacturer who extended the bell slightly and added an extra key to extend the range downwards by one semitone to B♭. It is suspected that Sax himself may have attempted this modification. This extension was adopted into almost all modern designs.

Sax's original keywork was very simplistic and made playing some legato passages and wide intervals extremely difficult to finger, so numerous developers added extra keys and alternate fingerings to make chromatic playing less difficult. While the early saxophone had two separate octave vents to assist in the playing of the upper registers just as modern instruments do, players of Sax's original design had to operate these via two separate octave keys

operated by the left thumb. A substantial advancement in saxophone keywork was the development of a method by which both tone holes are operated by a single octave key by the left thumb which is now universal on all modern saxophones.

One of the most radical, however temporary, revision of saxophone keywork was made in the 1950s by M. Houvenaghel of Paris, who completely redeveloped the mechanics of the system to allow a number of notes (C♯, B, A, G, F and E♭) to be flattened by a semitone simply by lowering the right middle finger. This enables a chromatic scale to be played over two octaves simply by playing the diatonis scale combined with alternately raising and lowering this one digit. However, this keywork never gained much popularity, and is no longer in use.

Kenny G

Kenneth Gorelick (born June 5 1956) better known by his stage name Kenny G, is an American saxophonist whose fourth album, Duotones, brought him "breakthrough success" in 1986. Kenny's main instrument is the soprano saxophone, but he also plays the alto, and tenor saxophone and the flute on occasion.

Early life
Kenny was born in Seattle, Washington and first came into contact with a saxophone when he heard someone performing with one on The Ed Sullivan Show. He learned how to play under the direction of local trumpeter Gerald Pfister and by practicing along with records (mostly of Grover Washington, Jr) trying to emulate the sounds that he was hearing.

At Frankling High School he failed to get into the jazz band when he applied, although was accepted the following year when he tried again. He also played for his high school golf team, a sport which he had loved ever since his older brother, Brian Gorelick, introduced it to him when he was ten years old. Brian Gorelick is currently a music professor and choir conductor at Wake Forest University.

Career
Kenneth Gorelick began his career as a musician when he acquired his first ever professional job as saxophone soloist for Barry Whites Love Unlimited Orchestra in 1976 at the age of 20, when White was impressed by his mastery of the blues scale. Kenny was also studying for a major in accounting at the same time. After being rejected as a music major from Central Washington University, he went on to get a degree from University of Washington and played with the funk band Cold, Bold & Together before becoming a credited member of The Jeff Lorber Fusion. He began his solo career after his period with Lorber.

In 1982, Kenny G signed with Arista Records as a solo artist, after label president Clive Davis heard his rendition of ABBA's "Dancing Queen". He has released many solo albums and collaborated with various artists including Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Natalie Cole, Steve Miller (which marked the only time he appeared on a rock and roll album), Dudley Moore, Michael Bolton, and Aretha Franklin. Influenced by the likes of saxophonist Grover Washington Jr and the lyricism of Barry Manilow, his own albums are usually classified as smooth jazz.

He received success quite early on, with both G Force and Gravity, his second and third studio albums respectively, achieving platinum status in the United States. These sales were topped by his fourth studio album, Duotones, which shifted over five million copies in the U.S. alone. His fifth studio album, Breathless, became the number one best selling instrumental album ever, with over 15 million copies sold, of which 12 million were in the U.S. He broke another record when his first holiday album, Miracles, sold over 13 million copies, making it the most successful Christmas album to date.

In 1997, Kenny G earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for playing the longest note ever recorded on a saxophone. Kenny G held an E-flat for forty five minutes and 12 seconds in the Hopkins-Bright Auditorium at J&R Music World in New York City. That same year, Kenny G's song "Havana", from his album The Moment, was remixed by noted DJs Todd Terry and Tony Moran and released promotionally to dance clubs in the U.S. These mixes went to #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in April of 1997, giving Kenny his first (and, to date, only) #1 on this chart.

Gorelick's 1999 single, "What A Wounderful World" stirred controversy among the jazz community regarding the overdubbing of Louis Armstrong's classic recording. A common criticism was that such a revered recording by a musician known especially for improvisation should not be altered. Pat Metheny responded to this recording by saying, "With this single move, Kenny G became one of the few people on earth I can say that I really can't use at all - as a man, for his incredible arrogance to even consider such a thing, and as a musician, for presuming to share the stage with the single most important figure in our music." The "duet" was produced by David Foster who also recorded the Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole duet. Gorelick stated at the time,"...I didn't want to spoil the original. I said, 'Whatever we do, if we're not going to make it better, let's throw it away and we won't do it.' So (Foster) guaranteed that it would be better, and I hope that we did a good job on it."

Some columnists countered the criticisms suggesting such a recording would bring classic jazz to a wider audience. Nevertheless, Kenny G fans considered the live performance of this duet with Armstrong on a video taped backdrop a "show stopper." Additionally, Gorelick has stated that all the proceeds from this single go to his Kenny G Miracles Foundation which "funnel(s) the money to charities to purchase musical instruments and to supplement funding for the arts in schools." As of 2003, Kenny G was named the 25th-highest selling artist in America by the RIAA, with 48 million albums sold in the USA as of jULY 31, 2006. In 1994, Kenny G won the Grammy Award For The Best Instrumental Composition for "Forever in Love"

Personal life
Kenny G is currently married to Lyndie Benson, with whom he has two children – Max (aged thirteen) and Noah (aged nine). They have expressed an interest in saxophone and piano respectively. He plays golf regularly, and has a playing handicap of +0.6. He has participated in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro Am tournament seven times as of Februari 7, 2008 and Golf Digest awarded him the position of number one musician golfer in their December rankings of Top 100 in Music.

Kenny is also a pilot, and has been known to fly to many events.
He has one sister, Paula, and one brother, Brian. Brian's son David is a musician and plays bass in the band "Puking up Sunshine."

Minat

Sekarang ni sibuk orang bercakap pasal sukan, tulis pasal sukan atau mengulas pasal sukan. Ade yang minat badminton dan ade yang minat bola. Bagi saya, minat tu datang disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, mungkin faktor persekitaran, keluarga, kawan2 dan juga faktor "minat" kita kat pemain permainan tu. Saya ade cerita yang nak dikongsikan bersama, taknak cerita pasal orang lain, tapi ni cerita benar, cerita pasal diri saya.

Masa kat U dulu, girlfrend saya ( actually my ex girlfrend ) adalah seorang pemain tenis. Bukan saja mewakili U malah beliau juga mewakili negeri .... Oleh kerana minat dia kat tenis maka bolehlah dikatakan hampir hari2 dia akan berlatih dan bermain tenis. ( tapi kita masih ade masa untuk berjumpa ) Keadaan ini sedikit sebanyak menyebabkan saya mula berjinak2 dengan permainan tenis, walaupun pada mulanya saya tak minat dengan bende ni. Banyak perkara yang saya belajar melalui beliau. Bila kita keluar, saya akan ikut dia melihat peralatan tenis dan ade kalanya borak pasal game terbaru, sapa lawan sapa, sapa menang dan begitulah seterusnya.

Bayangkan kita pernah main tenis bersama jam 2.00ptg di tengah terik mentari. Kebiasanya dia yang selalunya menang. Bukanya saya tak pernah menang, ade juga game dia yang kalah tapi setiap kali dia kalah saya rasa semacam je, sengaja dia buat2 je bagi kalah.
Semakin hari, minat saya kat tenis semakin menebal. Kalau ade peluang kita juga pergi melihat perlawanan tenis yang diadakan disekitar KL.

Kadang2 ade ketikanya saya merasa pelik dan hairan, bagaimana saya boleh meminati sukan kerana sebenarnya saya bukanlah seorang kaki sukan, jauh sekali kalau nak berjaga malam tengok tv tunggu siaran langsung, baik saya tidor atau tukar siaran lain.

Dan sekarang, ketika ini dan saat ini, kami tidak lagi bersama dan saya tidak lagi mengikuti perkembangan sukan tenis. Bola dan reket tenis dah lama tak disentuh. Kenangan bermain tenis hampir dah saya lupakan, cuma baru2 ni je, saya terlihat rancangan teksi tunai kat tv, ade satu soalan yang ditanya, " apakah nama permainan yang menggunakan istilah "love" dalam pengiraan mata?" dan tentu sekali dengan pantas saya dapat menjawab, TENIS! ... YA, BETUL ..

Kesimpulanya, adekan minat saya itu disebabkan oleh seseorang? katakan lepas ni saya meminati seseorang yang meminati badminton, adekah saya juga akan turun sama meminati badminton? dan lagu mana jika dia meminati bola jaring? oh tidakk!! saya tidak akan sekali - kali bermain bola jaring.

Sampai syurga

Hi, sekarang jam 9.20pm, dah agak lama aku dok merenung ke pc, aku rasa macam nak tulis sesuatu je tapi nak tulis ape ya? pas tu aku bukak blog yang satu tu, alah ... blog budak tu la... fuyoo .. dia dah tukar lagu la, "sampai syurga" Aku baru je dengar lagu tu masa perjalanan balik dari off petang tadi di hot fm. Betul ke sampai ke syurga?

Tea break

Sorri, aku tengah break ni ... kita sambung lepas ni, insyallah, bila? kul berapa? ... nantilah, aku bagitahu ...

Rehat

Aku paksa gak diri untuk menulis sesuatu, aku sekarang tengah bercakap dengan diri sendiri, aku tanya, aku jawab. Hasilnya aku dapat satu jawapan .. aku perlu berehat atau dengan kata lain aku perlu "berhenti sebentar" . Mungkin minda dan otak ini dah penat sangat, kereta pun kalu drive dari kl ke johor pun kena berhenti kat r n r atau sekurang2nya berhenti seketika untuk bayar tol, bukanya berhenti untuk "main mata" dengan pekerja tol. ( bukan marah, tapi nasihat ) Ade ke orang berhenti sambil cuci mata tengok pekerja tol? Ade?, sape? ..

Mogok idea

Aku ingat hari ni nak post sesuatu kat blog, ( sebab dah lama tak update ) pikir punya pikir, tunggu punya tunggu last2 satu idea pun tak datang dalam kepala ni, kenapa ya? ... entah ler, rasa cam tak de idea pulak. Tulisan ku semua tak menjadi, tulis dah sampai separuh aku edit, pas tu aku delete terus!

Aku ade banyak cerita dan rasa yang hendak ku sampaikan tapi aku tak tahu bagaimana caranya. Nak menulis, seperti mana yang aku katakan tadi, mood dan idea tak datang, mungkin mereka semua ni mogok tak, mungkin jugak, manalah kita tahukan ...

Nak jugak ..

Aku cukup tak suke bila benda yang aku harapkan akan jadi begini akhirya jadi begitu, korang faham ke ape yang aku maksudkan? mudah je, katakan kita nak a, tapi tiba2 je dapat b. Bagi setengah orang benda ni biasa je, ape susah ambik je b tu. Bagi aku, mana boleh, aku dah niat nak a, aku nak a la, mana boleh aku nak ambik b! ... gitulah diantara contohnya.

Mungkin ini diantara keburukan yang terdapat pada diri ku. Pernah satu hari aku ditegur oleh kawan serumah disebabkan oleh sikap ku ini. Kesnya kami keluar g makan sama2, masa kat rumah aku bagitahu yang aku nak makan nasi goreng sardin. Semasa pesan makanan, pelayan tu bagitahu nasi gorang sardin tak de, dah habis ... kesudahanya aku terus tak makan, tak de selera, mood pun dah hilang sebab ape yang aku hajatkan tu aku tak dapat, order minum jelah.

Cemburu vs sensitif

Korang tau tak? tak.. ape dia... korang tau tak yang kita tak boleh paksa seseorang untuk memahami jiwa kita. Kita tak ade hak sebenarnya. Macam gak dalam sesuatu perhubungan, kita boleh suka kat dia (pinjam kata2 budak sekolah rendah) tapi dia ade hak untuk tidak suke kat kita. Senang kan? oleh itu janganlah kita cemburu sangat, takut2 nanti ade yang rasa tak selesa. Cemburu? aku tak cemburu, cuma kadang2 aku terasa terlalu sensitif pada perkataan dan persekitaran, itu je ...

Bawa diri

Semalam ade seseorang tu janji dengan aku nak borak panjang kat ym sebab dia dah habis exam, cam biasala kul 8.00mlm. Aku pun tunggulah, tunggu punya tunggu, sampailah jam 10.45mlm, dia tak muncul2, bayang pun tak nampak. Aku? aku ... cam biasa je, off pc, on tv dan layan diri sendiri. Tapi, kadang2 rasa cam nak "bawa" diri je... rasa nak terbang je, tapi aku tak ade sayap, flying without wing..

Kawan oh kawan

Kalu nak cerita pasal study, aku rasa satu hari pun tak akan habis. Bab study ni aku dah lalui macam2 pengalaman, suka duka dan pahit manis, semua ade, macam dalca, kalu dimakan dengan nasi sedap beb... study ni banyak dipengaruhi oleh keadaan sekitaran kita dan kawan2 disekeliling kita. Masa kat kolej dulu aku ade seorang kawan, aku anggap dia cam kawan baikla, g kelas sama, makan sama. keluar kl pun sama2. Dah lama kami berkawan, lama2 aku ternotis yang kawan aku ni ade satu perangai yang aku rasa tak berapa elok sikit (aku tak kata yang aku ni baik) Setiap kali kalu dia lihat aku tengah study, dia akan berkata " alah, buat ape study teruk2, exam lambat lagi, relaxla", dan setiap kali bila aku pulak yang "terlihat" dia tengah study, dia akan cepat2 tutup buku dan berkata " aku bukanya study, saja je nak kemas2kan buku".

Tapi yang paling aku terasa sangat2 ialah bila satu hari aku terlupa paper mana yang perlu aku siapkan dan hantar, bila aku tanya dia cakap " tak ade paper yang perlu dihantar esok", macam bagus je. Esoknya, bila masuk kelas, mat salleh tu tanya " jo, where is ur paper, i havent seen ur paper yet, aku terus mati akal, walau beratus alasan yang aku bagi, mat salleh tu senyum je, sambil mencatatkan sesuatu kat dalam buku catatanya. Aku memandang ke arah kawan ku itu dan korang tahu ape dia buat? ...boleh dia gelak, ishk2, buat lawak la konon, tapi dia tak tahu yang dia telah melakukan satu lawak yang amat bodoh kepada seorang kawan yang teramat malang.

Pengajaranya, jauhi kawan seperti ini, ianya hanya merugikan dan merosakan kita, inilah yang dikatakan "kawan ketawa senang dicari, kawan menangis? sorang2 le...

Semoga berjaya

Semoga berjaya, itu je yang dapat jo katakan pada ida ketika dan saat ini. Jo pasti ida telah bersedia dan dapat melakukan dengan sebaik mungkin. Jo berdoa semoga ida diberi kemudahan dan ketenangan. Habis exam ni, tulis banyak2 dan hantar pada jo, k..

Catatan perjalanan ke Tawau

Cerita pasal aku ke Tawau, Sabah, aku nak story sikit je, takut nanti korang boring. Perjalanan hari tu cukup meletihkan minda sebab dari KLIA aku tak dapat direct flight tapi kena singgah di Kota Kinabalu. Aku transit kat KK dekat 45 minit, takde benda boleh dibuat cuma pusing2 kat dalam airport je.

Aku nak syorkan kat korang, kalu g ke Tawau, jangan lupa ke Pasar Gantung - boleh beli belah kat situ, semua barang ade, mutiara Sabah murah2 je, pas tu kena g Semporna, tapi berhati2 sebab kat situ lain macam sikit, buat cam orang biasa je, kat situ ade restoran terapung dan pusat beli belah. Juga berhati2 dengan penjual jalanan yang siap sedia menunggu di kawasan sekitar Kedai terapung. Mereka biasanya akan menawarkan mutiara serta cat eyes.

Kita boleh menolak tawaran mereka dan kata "tak nak", tapi jika mereka nampak kita beli benda yang sama di kedai terapung tu, siapla kita, keluar je dari kedai tu, kita pasti akan diasak bertubi2 oleh mereka, mendesak agar kita turut membeli barangan mereka dan kalu kita setuju membeli barang mereka tu, lagilah ramai yang akan datang dan merayu supaya kita juga membeli barangan mereka. Ade yang berkata "tolonglah, satu barang pun belum laku lagi hari ni, nak makan pun tak duit", sambil menunjukan dompet duit yang kosong, aku jadi terkedut, kadang2 mereka merayu dan kadang2 mereka mendesak, akhirnya aku hulurkan RM 40, mintak mereka bahagikan diantara mereka berdua, lantas mereka hulukan kepadaku satu envelop kecil yang penuh dengan batu cat eyes. Mereka ucapkan terimakasih dan aku terus naiki 4WD yang telah siap menunggu.

Dalam perjalanan pulang ke hotel, aku terfikir sendiri, Pekan Semporna sepatuhnya dimajukan lagi terutama dalam aspek ekonomi (pelancungan dan aktiviti sokongan), kebanjiran pendatang Filipina sepatutnya diberi perhatian yang lebih seius oleh kerajaan, penumpuan perlu lebih kepada penambah baikan tahap ekonomi penduduk tempatan. Dengan kata lain aktiviti ekonomi perlu digiatkan. eh.. sorri ya, dah terlajak panjang storyku ini, stop dulu...

Time to take off

Kenapa aku suke kapalterbang? sebabnya aku suke "terbang". Aku suspectla (pinjam kata2 apek) kat orang yang mencipta teknologi ni, korang bayangkan kapal yang beratnya bertan2 boleh naik dan terbang, pehh, berat tu beb... aku cukup suke tengok kapal semasa dia nak take off dan landing, suspect kat pilot tu. Bukan senang, tulah saat yang paling kritikal bagi sesebuah kapalterbang, saat tulah yang paling aku suke kalu aku ade dalam kapal tu, tapi aku paling tak suke bila tengah2 sedap fly, tiba2 lampu amaran pasangkan tali pinggang keselamatan menyala, sebab aku akan jadi haru biru...

Mencari kepastian

Korang ingat tak hari tu aku pernah story pasal time mechine atau alat yang boleh bawa kita kembali ke zaman lampau. Loni aku nak kabor sikit ape yang aku akan buat kalu aku ade bende tu. Pastinya aku akan kembali ke zaman kesultanan Melayu Melaka sebab aku nak sangat jumpa dengan Hang Tuah, buat ape? itula, korang tak tahu, aku nak tanya Hang Tuah sejarah yang kita belajar selama ni kat sekolah tu betul ke tak, atau sengaja diada2kan dan ditokok tambah oleh penjajah dengan bantuan mereka yang "berkepentingan" , sebab aku rasa sejarah kita "semacam" je. Masa sekolah dulu aku tak belajar sejarah, sebab aku aliran sains, tapi aku amat meminati sejarah. Aku ade buat sedikit kajian, adelah beberapa faktar yang aku jumpa tu agak meragukan.

Sape sebenarnya Hang Tuah? Betul ke Hang Tuah bertikam dengan Hang Jebat? macam dalam filem je...kenapa ade perigi Hang Tuah Di Pattani? kenapa ade Universiti Hang Tuah Di Indonesia? Kenapa Batu Bersurat Terengganu dijumpai dalam sungai? sengaja dibuang atau satu cara untuk sembunyikan batu tersebut agar tidak jatuh ke tangan penjajah orang putih. Nak buat ape dengan batu tu? nak buat ape lagi, nak musnahkanlah, nak hapuskan bukti sejarah islam , bangsa dan negara kita, oklah, kita sama2 fikirkan.

ps: Gambar di atas adalah Makam Tun Saaban Ibni Nai Hisbul Muadzam Shah @ Narai (Ayuthia) @ Iskandar Muda Thani (Acheh) @ Laksamana Hang Tuah (Melaka) di Acheh. Al fatihah.

"terimakasih kepada anai-anai semoga perjuangan mu menemuai kejayaan"

Wajah yang ku dambarkan

Gambar sapa ni? aku pecaya korang tentu kenal sapa si cantik manis ni. Kalu korang nak tahu, inilah satu2nya artis idola ku, dia cantik, manis dan sejuk mata memandang. Kalu korang nak tahu sapa gadis pilihan ku, tentu aku tidak akan cakap si dia ni, sebab dia ni kan isteri orang, cuma aku boleh cakap yang aku akan pilih wajah seiras2 dia, sapa? dialah... Vanida Imran, cayalah...

p/s: untuk v, semoga bahagian selalu dan dimurahkan rezeki.

Terimakasih teman

hi, korang perasan tak, blog aku sekarang telah ade counter dan background muzik, lagu "sempurna" lagi, best lagu tu beb! kalu korang tak percaya, korang fikirlah sendiri (sendiri dengar ler) sebenornya lagu tu aku tujukan khas buat seseorang, seseorang yang susah payah ngajar aku bagaimana nak masukan bende tu semua kat dalam blog, maklumlah aku ni bukanya celik komputer, cuma celik mata je. Dia banyak ajar aku, walaupun secara online tak bersemuka tapi aku puas hati, agaknya dia ni memang ade ciri2 jadi cikgu kot, ape pendapat korang? sama tak cam aku? kalu gitu, habis study ni bolehlah dia ambik kursus perguruan, macam kpli tu, betul tak?

Kisah asrama

Masa form 4 - form 5 aku dok di asrama, Best ke? mmm bolehla, ade masa best dan adakalanya menyusahkan, yang paling tak seronok bila asrama kami mengalami "kepupusan" bekalan air. pehh, camne nak mandi dan melakukan aktiviti lain seumpamanya. Peritnya masa aku form 4, biasaler, masa tu power pun kurang, jadi takleh lah nak buat something yang diluar kebiasaan. Masalah putus bekalan air kerap gak terjadi, maklumlah asrama kami dekat dengan bandar, banyak kerja2 berkaitan pembangunan yang sedang dijalankan dan ini secara tidak langsung akan menjejaskan "main paip"

Ketika aku di form 5, masalah ketiadaan air, aku dah tak heran, Apasal? sebabnya akukan dah senior, power pun dah lebih ... ahahahahah... Pernah satu kes tu masa air tak de, aku dgn beberapa orang kawan cuba memcari jalan penyelesaian, pikir punya pikir, akhirnya kami dapat satu idea, apa kata kalu kita panjat tangki air asrama dan gunakan air tangki tersebut, lagipun tangki tu taklah tinggi sangat, lebih kurang 7 kaki je dari paras lantai. ( adik2, jangan tiru idea kami ni, sebab ianya menyalahi undang2 asrama )

kami semua pun bersetuju, tugas memanjat dan seterusnya meninjau tahap keselamatan tangki kami serahkan kepada seorang kawan yang sememangnya mahir dalam bab panjat memanjat. ( jangan tiru, aksi ini hanya boleh dilakukan oleh professional sahaja ) nasib menyebelahi kami, binaan tangki tu memang dah ade tangga, air tangki ade separuh, keadaan sekitar selamat dan "line clear"

Kami sepakat ( biar pecah di perut jangan pecah di mulut ) untuk mandi menggunakan air yang masih ade tu, tapi mesti guna cebuk. Ape lagi kami berlima pun mandile sepuas hati, bermaharaja lela dengan air yang tak seberapa tu. Dah siap aku mandi, adelah kawan sorang yang masih belum selesai lagi, " jom la oooi, dah sejuk ni, simpanla air tu sikit kat orang lain," kata ku, "ok2, sikit lagini" katanya. Aku pun terus balik ke bilik. Lebih kurang 10 minit, aku dah siap berbaju dan seluar, tapi mamat tu masih tak nampak lagi batang hidung. Aku tertanya2, mana pulak si mamat ni, takkanlah tak siap2 lagi.

Aku dengan tangkas dan lajunya terus pergi ke tangsi air tersebut untuk menjalankan misi mencari dan menyelamat ... akhirnya, adihh, pedih, pilu, aaaaaaa..tidak!!! sahabat baikku.. sungguh tak ku sangka.... dia berlaku curang dibelakang ku, dia dengan senang2 hatinya dok berenang - renang dalam tangki air tersebut, "apasal kau masuk dalam tangki ni, nanti habisle kotor, camne nak guna air lepas ni," kata ku dan dengan selamber dia menjawab, " kau mareh ke?, kalu nak, jom ler mandi sama." katanya sambil tersengeh.

Aku bukanya marah, walaupun ape yang kawan aku buat tu salah, tapikan ... bila difikirkan balik, sebenarnya aktiviti kami tu pun dari awal2 lagi dah salah dan sememagnya menyalahi undang2 asrama, itula pasal, so sendiri mau ingat le.... ( apasal tak bagitahu awal2 nak terjun tangki, aku pun nak gak, skg ni aku dah siap pakai lawa2, habis cam ne .. waaaaa.. )

Macamana ni cikgu

Camne ya? saya dah cuba, tapi tak jadi... masa cikgu ajar nampak mudah je, tapi bila time buat, baru tahu betapa susahnya. Itulah masa cikgu ajar, tak beri perhatian... nampaknya cikgu kena ajar saya sekali kali, mungkin banyak kali, saya dah buat idayah, tapi tak jadi ........

Nak jadi pilot

"Kapalterbang" , entah mengapa saya minat dengan benda ni, masa kecik2 dulu pun memang dah ade cita2 nak jadi pilot (bukan jadi kapalterbang!) nak tahu tak, saya pernah mintak jadi pilot, alah.. pilot penerbangan malaysia(mas) . Saya apply senyap2 je sebab keluarga terutama bonda amat tidak bersetuju dengan pilihan saya ni. Kata bonda kerja tu bahaya dan time kerja tak menentu, tetapi ayahanda ok je, dia tak kisah, janji kerja tu halal.

Sebulan kemudian saya terima tawaran untuk hadir ke sesi interview bertulis. Saya pun pergilah, alamak ingatkan interview bertulis camana, rupanya exam bertulis, sikit punya susah. 1 soalan kena jawab dalam masa 30 saat. Masa rehat kita tanyalah kat jurulatih tu, apasal bagi masa sikit sangat, dia jawab " kamu kena belajar berfikir selaju kapalterbang, kalu kamu ambil masa lama sangat, elok saja kamu nak buat keputusan, kapal kamu tu dah terhempas", "sapa nak jawab, nyawa penumpang sapa nak tanggong". kami semua terdiam, betul gak kata jurulatih tu ( dia jurulatih pilot tudm) kami pun tak berani nak tanya lagi.

Pas tu saya cuba hampiri seorang mamat yang saya lihat macam bagus je, dia dressing ala pilot mas, kami borak2 dan cerita pasal diri masing2. Rupa2 dia seorang co pilot yang bawak kapalterbang 1 engin dari P.Pinang ke P. Langkaw dan dia dah ade ppl dan tengah ambil clp. Saya amat yakin peluang dia cerah untuk join mas, Saya ape ade, harapkan nasib je lah. Keputusan diumumkan pada hari tu gak, walaupun saya gagal, saya tetap bersyukur kerana saya tersenarai sebagai calun simpanan, tapi saya dah agak dah.. macamana nak lawan, mereka semua tu dah ade lesen, dah biasa bawak kapalterbang, saya bawak ape? mungkin berkat doa bonda saya yang dari awal lagi tak setuju dengan pilihan untuk jadi pilot .... heheheheheh

Khas buat Hidayah

Mula2 nak say tq sebab hantar comment, ade makna tu... ade makna, bagus2, heheheh
pas tu nak ucap good luck, semoga berjaya dalam exam, 2 paper tu wat baik2, jo doakan ida berjaya dan lulus dan score...jangan lupa sembahyang hajat, minta dipermudahkan dalam segala urusan,k.
Semoga berjaya dan take care dari jo.

Zaman menegah 2

Semasa di form 5, aku bolehlah dikatogerikan sebagi pelajar yang dikenali ramai. Subjek yang paling aku minati ialah biologi dan add math. Aku selalu score dalam kedua2 subjek ni. Aku bersama 4 orang sahabat baik selalu je melakukan "aktiviti" bersama ( yang tak menyalahi undang2 negara) walaupun makanan disediakan di asrama, tapi aku and the geng selalu je makan kat luar, bukanya sebab banyak duit, tapi sebab masakan kat asrama kami tu tak sedap, hehehehe.. jangan marah makcik asrama.

Aku tak ade awek ke?? nak jawab ke soalan ni... ade, dan aku juga perasan (bukan ditimpa perasaan) ade awek yang minat kat aku, tapi aku ni jenis yang memilih sikit (sikit je, bukanya banyak) tapi aku ade syok kat satu awek tu, budak form 4, masalahnya aku banyak saingan, ramai pulak yang minat kat dia. Aku suka kat awek tu, tapi awek tu tak suka kat aku. Bila ade awek yang suka, aku pula tak berkenan... habis nak wat camane?

Pas tu ade seorang kakak uppersix nak buat aku sebagai adik angkat. Kakak tu lawar. Aku pun setuju je sebab niat dia baik, lagi pun bolehlah dia ajar aku sebagai persediaan menghadapi spm nanti. Aku masih ingat semasa kakak tu bawak aku pulang ke rumahnya di kampong, aku berkenalan dengan semua ahli keluarganya. Rupa2nya dia ade adik perempuan form 3 dan seorang adik lelaki sebaya ku. Adik lelaki tu macam tak mesra je dengan ku, mungkin dia jelous
sebab dia fikir aku nak rampas kakak dia, mana ade, aku dah anggap kakak dia macam kakak aku.

Aku ni jenis yang study ikut mood, kalu mood aku tak ade atau hilang entah kemana, aku buat ape pun semua tak menjadi tapi kalu mood aku ade dan aku rasa nak study, senang2 je fakta2 dan nota2 ringkas ( .. dengar tu idayah, "nota ringkas") tu masuk ke dalam kepala otak aku. Aku study giler2 1 bulan sebelum final (SPM) tapi janganlah tiru cara aku, cara kita mungkin tak sama dan tak sesuai untuk semua orang. Ape yang aku buat? .. aku study menggunakan nota ringkas dan membuat latihan dengan menjawab soalan tahun2 lepas. Aku ade koleksi soalan SPM 10 tahun, aku selesaikan semua soalan SPM tahun lepas dan 10 tahun yang lalu, juga topik2 yang diramalkan bakal keluar pada tahun ni. Sehinggakan kepala aku pun dah naik tepu dengan soalan, bayangkan belum habis aku membaca soalan, aku dah dapat mengagak jawapanya.

walau apepun aku kena confident untuk menghadapi SPM, disinilah akan bermulanya masa depanku (semuanya di tangan tuhan) Seminggu sebelum SPM, setiap malam selepas Isyak aku akan sembahyang hajat, memohon pertolongan dariNya semoga diberi petunjuk, diterangkan hati, diberikan kelapangan, kesihatan dan diberikan segala kemudahan untuk aku menghadapi SPM. Bila tiba saatnya, dengan izinNya aku dengan begitu selesa bertarung dengan SPM, aku juga disenaraikan sebagai pelajar berpotensi untuk score A. Alhamdulillah..

Zaman menegah

Aku menghabiskan zaman sekolah menegah ku di sekolah berasrama di bandar. Pengalaman di asrama pada mulanya amat haru biru. Pada malam pertama banyak cubaan dan godaan, biasalah budak lelaki, masing2 nak tunjuk hero. Pada malam tu, time aku nak masuk tido aku diarahkan oleh seorang abang senior (agaknya lah) untuk naik ke tingkat atas, katanya ade orang yang nak berkenalan. Memang aku dah agak dah... tapi aku buat dont know je.. selang 15 minit kemudian, seorang lagi utusan datang dengan membawa hajat yang sama. Hati aku berkata kes ni tak akan selesai selagi aku tidak menuruti kehendak mereka, jadi aku pun naiklah...

Sesampai je kat dorm tu, aku lihat sekumpulan pelajar telah siap sedia menunggu ku dengan pelbagai gelagat dan gaya. Pelbagai soalan diajukan kepada ku, macam sesi interview kerja pulak, belum habis jawab soalan 1 soalan 2 dah ditanya.. i say man, tapi aku tetap sabar dan tekun melayan kerenah mereka sorang demi sorang.

Tiba - tiba sedang mereka asyik membuli aku, datanglah 2 orang brother uppersix yang mendakwa mengenali ku. Seorang daripada mereka memegang dan terus menarik tangan ku, dengan berkata " pergi balik dan tido, jangan dilayang mereka ni semua, ape2 hal biar abang yang tanggong", aku terkejut dan dengan terpingga2 aku terus turun ke bawah dan duduk di katil. Bagaimanapun aku tidak dapat melelapkan mata kerana memikirkan ape yang akan berlaku seterusnya.

Keesokanya riuh satu asrama bercerita pasal ku, aku yang ditolong oleh pelajar uppersix daripada dibuli oleh pelajar "hingusan" yang berlagak sebagi pelajar senior. Barulah aku tahu mereka semua adalah pelajar sebayaku juga, cuma mereka terlebih dahulu masuk asrama. Selepas kejadian tu, aku terus berkawan baik dengan brother tu, rupanya katilnya bersebelahan dengan katilku, cuma aku yang tak perasan dan yang pasti tiada lagi sesiapa yang berani menyentuh dan membuliku selepas itu.

Zaman tadika ku...

Aku telah dihantar oleh kedua ayahanda dan bonda ke tadika
aliran orang putih di tengah bandar, kalu tak silap tadika tu namanya St Martin.
Dengar namanya pun kau orang dah tahu, itu tadika ape. Kenapa hantar kat situ?
aku sendiri pun tak pasti, mungkin keadaan pada masa tu kot...
Kat tadika tu best sangat, teacher nya baik dan amat mengambil berat.
Persekitaran yang bersih dan selesa untuk belajar. Aku masih ingat lagi, setiap
hari ahad, kami akan masuk kelas lewat sedikit, sebab semua teacher dan
murid2 lain akan ke bangunan gereja kat sebelah (Opss..) kami yang beragama islam
tengok dari luar je, yang bermain kat play ground pun ade. Aku masih ingat
seorang teacher akan memainkan piano dan yang lain2 akan menyanyi, dulu
aku tak faham ape yang dia orang buat, sekarang aku dah tahu, itu agama
dan kepercayaan mereka, biarkanlah.
Sebelum rehat kami semua akan diberikan makanan dan minuman. Kesemuanya
tu tak payah beli, diberkan percuma je, nak banyak mana pun ambiklah
(tapi itu sebenarnya bukan percuma, telah dibayar dalam yuran bulanan... manalah aku tahu,
masa tu aku kecik lagi)
Sebelum makan, kami diwajibkan berdoa secara beramai2, sebenarnya kami
cuma "say amen" untuk doa yang dibacakan oleh teacher je, tapi doa kat sapa
aku tak pasti.
Baru2 ni aku ke bandar (masa cuti) cuba cari2 tadika tu tapi aku dimaklumkan bahawa
bangunan tadika tu telah dirobohkan untuk memberi laluan kepada agenda
pembangunan negara. Masih wujud atau tidak tadika itu sampai sekarang
pun aku tak pasti, mungkin masih beroperasi tapi di tempat lain.
Tiggal dalam kenangan buat steve,maria,abang,hisham,wati,muru,selven,abeng ect..

Terkenang semasa dulu..

Jika ada masa terluang,pernah tak terfikir untuk balik semula ke zaman kecik2 dulu, alah.. macam "time machine" tu, adjust je tarikh,masa dan tempat, pas tu tekan butan start dan ...jeng,jeng,jeng... sampailah kita ke zaman dulu kala. Bestkan? tapi lagu mana kalu kita tak boleh nak balik semula ke tahun 2008? waaa...... tapi tak pe, kalu kita terlekat di zaman Kesultanan Melaka, maka pada masa tu kitalah yang akan jadi hero, sebab? sebabnya kita dah tahu ape yang akan berlaku seterusnya, itu pun kalu sejarah yang kita belajar kat sekolah tidak diputar belitkan oleh penjajah!!

kalu tak nanya kita! Jom kita cuba bayangkan,pas tu komen, best ke tak? nak gi mane ya?
