RANDOM | The Lady with the Tambourine

Listen to music is one thing, playing musical instrument is another.

Some musical instruments seem to be quite easy to play but if who handle it, some will just go numb.

Playing in tune with the others, keeping with the rhythmic pace can be a challenge for some.

But some they are are just naturally born with such talent.



But I guess, one of the simple instrument one can play besides the Triangle is the Tambourine, yet, if you cannot grasp the whole idea of the musical tempo, even the simple jingle of the tambourine can be out of tune.

Interestingly, woman and musical instrument goes along quite fine together, or perhaps, people just love to associate woman with musical instruments?

As curvy as the violin, thou the double bass is curvier with more volume.

SINGAPORE | NDP 2007 | The Countdown ...

.. since we can't watch Singapore's TV channel in Brunei ... hence we don't really know what kind of celebrations they usually are having for their national day ... thou we can read them from The Straits Times (Singapore Edition), which is available in Brunei .......

... but usually ... we know how the Malaysians celebrate their national day .. because we can watch their local TV channel in Brunei .... especially ... those mega concerts with their popular artists.... awaiting for the clock to strike 12 or 0000 Hours on 31 August....

... well.... in Singapore they also do such celebration ... a free concert was held within the vicinity of the Esplanade ..... the Marina Bay area .... performance by Singapore local artists ...

BRUNEI | STREET | The Gendang Girl ...

.... every few hundred metres along the street .. one can not miss the tent full of talented local musicians ... each tent was represented by various musician throughout the country .. such as from Belait ... Brunei-Muara.... Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sports.... and such ...

... I do love music ... especially listening to live music ...

.. in order to listen to quality sound .... one need to have a good quality seperate hi-fi systems in your room ... not those midi.. mini... or all in one compo and the likes.... but with those seperate amp .... CD or DVD player .... with such brands like Marantz, Yamaha, NAD, Sherwood.. and speakers of ... Tannoy, Mordaunt Shorts,Denon, AE .. just to name a few affordable but very good quality systems.... not to mention QED cables ... Cable-Talk .... etc ....

.. man .. I could just ...list out stuff about Hi-Fi ... but this post is not actually about hi-hi .... eerk.... cana boleh nyimpang ani ....

... oh well... anyway .....perhaps.... I might just upload more photo about musicians..... hmmmm.....



.. one of the talented young musician on the mini stage ... playing one of the many local percussions ....

... not so surprisingly... many of the musicians are ladies .... which means that .... we give both equally opportunities to both sexes .... :) .... be it in the artistic fields .... or engineering and such ....

... speaking of which ... lately.. so many female photographers are quietly keeping pace with the male ..... and offline, as I'm often bombarded with "who are they the ladies photographers?" question..... and who knows... (since I've managed to capture some of their pix) I might reveal ... some of those talk about female photoshooters ... ;)

Kemesraan
Iwan Fals & Franky S. (Album Single 1988)


Suatu hari
Dikala kita duduk ditepi pantai
Dan memandang
Ombak dilautan yang kian menepi

Burung camar
Terbang bermain diderunya air
Suara alam ini
Hangatkan jiwa kita

Sementara
Sinar surya perlahan mulai tenggelam
Suara gitarmu
Mengalunkan melodi tentang cinta

Ada hati
Membara erat bersatu
Getar seluruh jiwa
Tercurah saat itu

Kemesraan ini
Janganlah cepat berlalu
Kemesraan ini
Ingin kukenang selalu

Hatiku damai
Jiwaku tentram disampingmu
Hatiku damai
Jiwaku tentram bersamamu

Bersamamu

LEISURE | If You Ever ...

... alone in the beach .... watching the waves wrestling with the shore ....

.. listening to the trembling of the waves......

.... feeling the sea breeze caressing your face .....

... smelling the fresh clean Oxygen .... the unpolluted air ........

.... strumming the string of the guitar melancholicly .....

......... cherishing those sweet .. and not so sweet moment .... yet .. still can bring a smile to your face .... or perhaps ... without realising .... droping a tear or two .... from the watery eyes ..... perhaps ... the tears of joy ... or tears or sadness... nevertheless..... just being there..... feeling the moment ..... could really make one .... hmmmm....... ;)



... and suddenly .... remembering the moment at the beach .... this song comes to mind....

If You Ever ... By ... East 17 ft. Gabrielle

Hey, Oh yeah, Come On, Whoaah
If You Ever, Hey
My my my my

The very first time that I saw your brown eyes,
Your lips said hello and I said hi,
I knew right then that you were the one,
But I was caught up in physical attraction,
Much to my satisfaction
Maybe you were more than just a friend.

* And If you ever (ever fall)
Fall in love again now baby
You must make sure that the lady is a friend
And if you ever (ever fall)
Fall in love so true now baby
You must be sure that she feels the same way too *

If I say that I will be your one and only
Promise that you'll never leave me lonely
I just wanna be the one you need
I just wanna be the one to serve you,
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I'd cherish every moment that we share
