"Til Death Do Us Part"

Founded at TheDailyWhat. It's a wedding invitation card. What?? Don't believe me? hahaah.. well you should and I simply adore it! If I ever get married *fingers crossed* I would love to have my wedding invitation just like this.. better yet, I would love to make one! 

It is claimed that this badaas invitation card was made by the groom itself Manuel Morgado (He may or may not be) who is in fact an illustrator.. and no I don't mean the software guys (LAME! *high pitch voice*). Even though it's a wedding.. something that we will always cherish it for the rest of our lives, depending on how we love our partners *giggles*.. it's always good to know not to take everything so seriously.. like using Monotype Corsiva-ish kinda typefaces on the wedding invitation card.. That to me IS taking things a lil bit serious.. hahaha..

This one goes to the future Mrs Kamil; Honey, can we have a wedding invitation card just badass as this one? Pretty pleaseeeeeeee with the cherry on top.. *puppy eyes*

I need inspiration!

Wow... it seems like forever since I've last posted something here... and the latest posts are usually music.. I need to find something fresh, something cool, something from me.. and something worth posting about...

Well, this post however, is about music.. But don't worry guys... I have my found myself some good materials that are worth posting *wink*wink*

If I need an inspiration, and surely indeed I need... Nick Pitera's "One Man Disney Movie" is the right thing to listen for an epiphany bursting in you head.

I don't know bout you guys, but I'm a total sucker for all the classic Disney films. When I hear this magical collage of songs, I remembered all the Disney VHS tape I have, sing-a-long with the siblings and cousins, saying-the-dialog-before-they-even-being-said-in-the-film moments *hahaha get it?*

Only then I can think clearly... innocently... I can say that my source of inspiration came a lot from my innocent childhood.. It's cheesy but doesn't make it any less true... and by saying this, I have obtained inspiration ladies and gentlemen! 

So I really hope you listen to it and feel what I felt when I listen to it.. plus, can you name all the movie that are being featured in this wonderful medley? *Smile*

Broken Hearted Motown style

I love this rendition of Grenade by Bruno Mars during his performance in the Grammys 2011... It kinda reminded me of the Jackson 5... Never the less.. I think it's too much for him vocally... I still like it though.. :)

This rendition of Grenade reminded me of this song,

Bruno Mars and The Jackson 5 FTW!

Morning with some monkey business

Thanks to Mr Fariz Hanapiah for showing to me this video for the first time last week... now I'm stuck with this song.. Fariz and I had this debate earlier about the girl in the video.. I said she looks like Scarlett Johansson and Fariz said she looks more like Jessica Alba.. after much consideration... we have come to a conclusion that she looks more like Jessica Alba.. He sure has a sharp eyes!

See how I flip this meaningless conversation into an end-of-the-world discussion..

oh yeah I'm da man.. hehe.. sorry guys.. I kinda need to make myself feel more superior.. have a great one! 

Insanely from the heart

I love the music arrangement... I love the lyrics... No lovey dovey words.. just words that we wouldn't dare to say out loud... atleast for me..

Nenek

My grandma passed away last Saturday.. it was a dreadful time for the whole family...

I woke up at 11 am that day... I took my phone to look at the time, then I found out that my dad text me about half an hour before... "Nenek dah meinggal." I was a bit blurry and I couldn't believe what I saw... I immediately called him.. He was in a rush.. he said the my family is packing up and gonna leave Penang for Lenggeng, Negeri Sembilan.

Up at that time I knew this wasn't no nightmare.. it's happening... I got up from bed.. freshen up.. and off I'm headed to my Aunt's.. 

Honestly, the whole 1 hour drive.. I was utterly confused.. I didn't know what to feel anymore.. sad? angry? what am I feeling right now.. it was all a big mess in my head that time... the radio was on.. but I wasn't singing along... I kept thinking of how all this could've happened...

As I got to my Aunt's.. it was already 1 pm and a lot of people were there... I hopped out of my car and my Uncle Lan told me that Grandma was in the living room.. There she was... covered by a long white clean cloth.. People were sitting around her reciting the Yasin.. including my youngest Aunt, Mak Nor.. 

I came near her, she just hugged me very tightly like she doesn't wanna let me go.. She explained everything to me... But I was silent... I grab a Yasin booklet and sat right next to my grandma...

So I started reciting the Yasin.. but again.. I was emotionless.. I dunno what is this feeling I'm currently having right now.. Then people came to see her.. So they unveil the white cloth to see her face.. She looked so peaceful.. Only then I lost.. I cried... a lot.. I was still figuring out why am I crying so bad.. I knew.. I will never see my grandma ever again.. I kept watching at her tummy.. hoping to see movement of inhaling and exhaling.. but that was wishful thinking.. At that moment.. upon seeing her face.. I was trembling.. Every verse of the Yasin I recited was unclear... I couldn't contained myself any further..

Briefly after finished reciting the Yasin.. I got up, wept my tears and went to see my cousins and aunties and uncles.. my family wasn't here yet... they were still halfway... Among my relatives.. Mak Nor was devastated the most.. She kept crying and crying.. She couldn't hold it together... After awhile.. I sat next to my grandma again.. besides me was my cousin, Ana.. we talk about grandma for awhile.. Then I told her I wanted to kiss grandma.. she wanted as well.. so we came near grandma and unveil the white cloth.. Before I kissed her, I whisper at the ear " I guess my wish of you seeing me getting married will not be coming true Nenek" I kissed her forehead a few times.. It was very cold...

About half and hour later.. my family arrived.. I only hugged my mom briefly as she was in a hurry to see grandma... They were ready to bathed her... Right after bathing grandma.. they will 'kapan' (I dunno the english word for it) her...

Then the process of 'kapan' is complete.. it's time for the family to say goodbye to grandma before her face is closed for good... When it's time to put her in the carrier, I sat next to her head so I can carry her.. I cried again... We carried her to the van and my cousin Razi and I were the only people to accompany her in that van..

We arrived at the mosque... we got out of the van and joined the jemaah for Asar prayer... After that, we took grandma out of the van to perform the Jenazah prayer upon her..

My granddad once told some of us that he wanted his family to be buried at his surau *musolla*.. at that's what we did.. We reached granddad's surau... There I saw, a hole 6 feet deep... When the time they put grandma at the "liang lahad" that was probably the most emotional part for all of us... Everybody was hugging each other and some of us couldn't even look... For me, I was so sad as I was literally burying my own grandma with the shovel at my hands.. 

The minute we finished burying her, tears started rolling down like the rain during the monsoon season.. That time, I really couldn't control myself.. 

Ends
