inhale

that day i was given free tickets to see tv2’s rhythm of champions 2006 grand final. so me and couple of friends went to stadium malawati at about 9pm. the night was just finishing its few last drop of tears as we were cruising to shah alam. brrr… shah alam doesn’t looked that far to reach when i was in cj. everyone was shivering, but i was the freak as i was the fattest only then i knew what’s the venue of af crap looks like. kind of a huge broadcasting studio. total crowd was about three-quarter venue’s capacity. i could see some competing parties came all the way from places outside klang valley - from banners hung up and slang shouted. fenomena came out as champion. one of the cover song they played was from may entitled jemu. there is this last reef where the singer kamal sang "ooo…ooooooo" - everybody was ecstatically singing along loudly. while me during my trip back couldn’t get out from my head some lines of chorus that the vocalist sang:

"..

Kau yang menghancurkan

Lerai ikatan

Kau cipta seribu alasan

.."

exclusively as a manner of congratulation for the impact fenomena brought up thru jemu, here is its lyrics. jemu is originally performed by may and succeeded by fenomena. before i end my post, i wish to beg malaysians to spare some spaces for our own songs. foreign is not all holy while local is not all rubbish. maybe if today we can appreciate even a bit of local tune, sooner or later our melody will be rated by the whole wide world as superb. cheers.

Jemu masa menyinta

Resahku meronta

Aku telah sumpah setia

Namun sia

Jemu masa melangkah

Lepas dari dosa

Bangkit aku dari lamunan

Yang engkau kejutkan

Segala pintamu
