Ceriteraku

I am on holiday. Yey! Although it just for a week but still…better than not having holiday at all. Now I feel like updating my long-abandoned blog. [I guess I don’t enjoy being in the blogland that much, do I?]

What has been going on lately? Here’s the list:

1. Attending lectures. Btw, not attending lectures anymore. Its all done!!!!                                                                                     2. Finished up my labmed essay…man! That essay was such an absobloodylutely pain in the ass!!!!                                               3. Arranging my elective. Yup! Still doing it. HUSM or HKB???           4. Finding air tickets for summer holidays. Hmmm…convenience against hassle/money saving? I think this question leaves me unbooked.                                                                                  5. Study…study…study…yup!!!!                                                      6. Organising the notes that I have to revise.

Hmmm….what a boring list, right? I should stop it right there. So, here is the actual story……

Last weekend, we had an early merdeka night celebration - ‘malam sireh pulang ke gagang’ was the theme. I offered myself to sing a song for the night, as part of the performing crew-lah. Yes I did! I sang my kinda own rendition of ‘Lagenda’, a tribute to our front leaders in the past and the present, also to pejuang2 negara. This is not something that I usually do in fact I never did this kind of thing before. (I mean the volunteer-to-perform part).

Why o why did I do this? It was totally not a platform for me to be under the spotlight or try to be the glam-it guy or getting myself a fan base. Never intended to ‘capub’. The main reason was for me to be upfront challenging my nerve. I do have stage fright. Darah gemuruh orang kata! I do think this is a good practice for me to tame my savage nervousness. Wahahaha!

So, this performance was really a big challenge for me. Before my turn to sing, I was restless, jittery and clammy. I couldn’t feel my legs. During the singing, my nerve controlled my whole body but I did it anyway. It turned out hmmm…fairly OK, I guess. Thanks to my friends who gave support. Also thanks to those who ‘kutuk2’ but I know u guys were playing fun, rite! I am glad I did this and I am not regretting it. Will I say my nerve is ok now? Hmmm..we’ll see…..

Anyway, the night was fun. Food was great. I like it so much although I was left with no meat (only chicken left and rice and fruit chutney of cource) cuz I performed during the dinner. I love the dikir barat performance mainly because it was 95% in Kelantanese. I am not being biased but to me dikir barat should be in kelantanese dialect. Baru ade feel. I love the silat too. Mantap giler! Guys, don’t mess with the silat-ers, nanti tak pasal2 kene tendangan jurus ke-14 diorang!!!! Other performances include band, another solo singing, pantomime, dances (Chinese, malay, India, modern), and sajak. That’s all folks!                                                                        Happy 51st merdeka!

p/s: I miss the merdeka celebrations dekat sekolah dulu . Ade citer hantu jepon marching tgh2 malam. Karut je!
