BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY ... ini bukan review
Salam and good day.
Been a while, but here I am again. Two weeks ago, I finally got to watch 'Bohemian Rhapsody', two years after it was released. Sad, but it's been ages since I've set foot in a cinema. Thanks to Astro, I finally got to see it.
I recorded the movie and I watched it over and over, and it breaks my heart every time. All their songs came back to me one by one, songs that I grew up with. Memories of my late brother, who introduced me to Queen when I was 10 or 11, singing along to 'another one bites the dust', 'Fat Bottomed Girls' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. My brother was a big fan of 70s and 80s rock, and, needless to say,so am I, and I am still Queen's number 1 fan.
Memories of my days studying in the UK in the 80s, scrambling to the common room to watch 'Top of the Pops', going into record shops to buy their 'A kind of Magic' album and watching 'The Highlanders' a few times because of Queen, and also because of Christopher Lambert, in that order. The movie brought them all back to me.
I love the movie, mainly because I love Queen and I adore Freddie Mercury. Rami Malek, did a great job of playing Freddie. The movie doesn't have any hi-tech special effects or any great fighting scenes in it. It's just a simple story, with great acting and awesome music. What else do you need?
I was in England in 1985, so, I know about the live aid concert, and I can relate to the excitement of that time.I breaks my heart, every time I get to the 'live aid concert' scene at the end, seeing them perform the best live rock concert ever, knowing, six years after that, Freddy Mercury would die.
I guess I'm still mourning for the loss of someone so beautiful and so talented.
RIP. Love you always, Freddie Mercury..
here is the video of what is still known as the best live rock concert ever, from youtube.

JULY MORNING ... update 4 minit
There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun...

URIAH HEEP
have a nice day...
DREAMING...tell me
Salam and good day,
Here is my all time favourite song, First heard it when I was at university, ages and ages ago. Heard it again this morning. Brings back so many memories. Anyway, enjoy!
Dreaming... tell me - Yngwie Malmsteen
Shades of night, fall upon my eyes
lonely world fades away
Misty light, shadows start to rise
lonely world fades away
In my dreams your face is all I see
Through the night you share your love with me
Dreaming visions of you
Feeling all the love I never knew
Here we are on the crossroads of forever
Shining star lites the way
Walk with me on the winds of time
Love's mystery is for us to find
Dreaming visions of you
Feeling all the love I never knew
Until that day
Until the day I find you
I won't rest,
I won't let go
Somehow Someway
I know I'll be beside you
To warm my heart
and fill my soul
blast from the past - LEVEL 42
Salam and good day,
I was browsing for songs to use in my critical thinking class when I stumbled across Level 42 - Something About You.... needless to say, I was immediately transported back to the 80s. I have forgotten how much I love this song...
No matter what others might say, I love the 80s... for me, it is the best decade for music with Level 42, Culture Club, George Michael, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, the Pet Shop Boys, Wham, Cindy Lauper, Maddonna, Johnny Hates Jazz, Nik Kershaw, Howard Jones, Tina Turner, and rock bands like Van Halen who actually had an album titled 1984, and Bon Jovi's Slipperry When Wet, Def Leppard's Hysteria and Prince's Purple Rain ,to name a few.
and, this particular song is deeply moving and mellow and nostalgic. it magically transported me back to the 80s, rummaging record shops looking for the single, running to the common room to watch Top Of The Pops... and it still sounds so good. Enjoy.

PERIHAL PENANDA BUKU DAN BUKU TELEPHONE
Saya suka menggunakan penanda buku. Jika saya menggunakan module atau buku untuk mengajar juga saya tandakan mukasurat dengan penanda buku. Itu bagi saya sesuatu yang biasa namun tidak bagi pelajar2 saya. Sewaktu penanda buku saya terjatuh, mereka melihatnya dengan expression ' she's still using a bookmark?'
Agak lucu melihat wajah mereka... lalu saya berkata....
never seen a bookmark before?
Mereka jawab ... yes we have.
Ok... i take it you don't use this kind of thing.
Mereka jawab ... no.
Fahamlah saya... cuma old-timer seperti saya saja yang masih menggunakan penanda buku yang dicetak. Remaja sekarang mungkin cuma kenal bookmark dalam search engine sahaja.
Mungkin juga lama kelamaan penggunaan penanda buku begini akan semakin kurang ... mungkin akan terus dilupakan... sama seperti penggunaan buku telephone yang diganti oleh phone book dalam cell phone. Saya rasa tidak ramai remaja sekarang yang pernah melihat buku telephone yang tebalnya hampir 3 inci itu... dan pastinya mereka juga tidak akan tahu maksud 'yellow pages'.
Sewaktu kanak2 dulu... saya gemar mendengar drama dan sandiwara radio. Mungkin ada yang masih ingat drama radio... nombor 5 pesiaran 1... sangat popular satu waktu dahulu... dan sandiwara radio yang selalunya membawa cerita hikayat disertai dengan syair. Saya paling suka bahagian syair.
Apakah seni penulisan skrip radio juga menerima nasib yang sama dengan buku telephone dan penanda buku? Dying art... seperti Mak Yong dan Wayang Kulit. That would be a real shame.
Dan ... yang paling penting... berapa ramai yang tahu apa kaitan diantara dua gambar dibawah... LOL...
GUESS I'LL ALWAYS BE ....
Salam and good day.
Everyday i will do something that makes me happy... no matter how small the thing might seem. And yesterday.. i did this...

BLAST FROM THE PAST- ya, saya masih ingat kau
date: 14.03.2010
location: Rajawali Art Gallery, Kuantan
with Abdullah Jones.
gembira berjumpa AJ setelah lebih 20 tahun tidak bertemu. baru saya tahu siapa sebenarnya Abdullah Jones. sebelum ini saya cuma tahu dia salah seorang kawan arwah abang saya, yang sering lepak dirumah kami sewaktu muda2 dulu. tapi saya tak tahu kawan yang mana satu, dalam fb dan blog pun tak pernah ada gambarnya... dan dia sendiri juga tak mahu beritahu saya siapa sebenarnya dia...not fair...dia tahu saya, saya tak tahu dia...
sangat curious saya mahu tahu identity nya. maka kami cuba set date untuk saya ke studionya...tapi beberapa kali (maksudnya banyak kali, ok) tak jadi, sebab AJ sangat busy orangnya...jarang ada di kuantan.
at last, hari semalam dia kata dia free, maka, loaded with curiosity and excitement...hehe, saya ke studionya di Cenderawasih...tak jauh cuma 15 minit dari rumah saya...
first saya nampak wajah yang agak familiar, tapi saya memang tidak ingat namanya...sehingga diberitahu ... memang seronok berjumpa kawan yang sama generasi, banyak cerita yang dikongsi...dan....yang paling penting....saya ada semula kawan untuk melepak di kuantan...hehe
