Mocca - Drummer Boy

I was feeling a bit down yesterday evening. It was a combination of sadness leaving the company and the pain my throat was giving. However, I ended yesterday with a big smile. They always make me feel better. I clearly remembered the last time I left Watson, they were there to make me feel better. It wasn’t any different this time. I met up with them after my work and we headed to EsTeler 77 to have our dinner. After which we headed to esplanade to catch Mocca. They were so excited to watch Mocca, that they were practically gushing and running all over to catch a glimpse of Arina. Me on the other hand, never seen neither have I heard them sing live was wondering over their craze. Not for long though, I was like one of them, practically gushing over her.
An amazing broadway voice plus a very cute personality, how on earth can anyone not go crazy? Her voice was not like those powerful diva voice but it was powerful in a childlike way. It was smooth, flawless and very pleasing to the ears that brought smiles to my face. On top of that, she played the flute beautifully that left me admiring her even more.



Only after a number of songs, I looked over at her other bandmates to give them the credit they deserved. Indeed, someone caught my eyes. He is none other than the drummer of Mocca. Oh my gosh, he played the drum with attitude and expression. Every single beat he hit with a touch of style and feel. It was definitely very classy. Plus the fact he looked so adorable and cool, I was practically bugging Ahmad to catch a snapshot of him. Confession: From then till then end of the show, my eyes were just fixed on him.



I was smiling even until I got back home and I am still smiling as I type this entry. Nazmi told me to look at the drummer hair, hinting that it was ridiculous. Siti said that he doesn’t have a neck and Fauzie jokingly teased the drummer because of that. Hah. But who cares. I don’t judge cuteness only by the looks, it’s the whole package. So what if he have a ridiculous hairstyle or doesn't have a neck. The way he played the drum, the way he expressed himself, the way he hit the drum with a touch of style, to me that is cuteness. Till then..Tkc ppl..

An Experience

I cleared the rubbish bin for the last time. I cleared everything personal on my desk and packed them in my bag. I deleted all my personal data in the computer and I clicked the button to switch the notebook off. I pushed the chair in and walked over the other room. I gave my final thanks and bid farewell to all my colleagues. As I walked passed my room, I took a final peep. I could feel it dropping from my eyes, but I strongly held them back. The moment I stepped out of the office, I let out a huge sigh. I’m just glad that everything is over. But somehow, there's a part of me feeling rather sad about leaving.
Cause afterall, it has been 6 months since I first stepped in there and I am kind of attached to that place. Many memories were created and many bonds were forged. And despite all the sarcasm I received, the harsh comments that were spat on me, the rejection I had to go through, the misery I faced, I can’t deny that I learnt a lot through it. Perhaps not academically, but mentally and physically, I think I gained in that aspect.

The misery I faced, prepared me for cruel but yet the true reality of the working industry. Politics would be everywhere, you just got to make a choice; either get involved or ignore.
The sarcasm that I received, taught me to be more tolerant. Some people are blunt and insensitive, so you choose; to get affected and they will still continue being sarcastic or choose to ignore.
The harsh comments that were spat on me, made me a stronger person. Face it, no matter how good or perfect you are(which is totally impossible), you can’t please everyone, there’s bound to be conflicts and hurtful words will be exchange. You can choose to get personal over it or take those comments and see how you can improve.

The rejections that i had to go through, made me a more determined person. Failure is a step towards success, once a failure doesn’t mean always a failure. You can choose to get upset and not do anything or get upset, get over it and do something to prove to those who put you down.

Each experience whether wonderful or painful, are lessons we can learn from. And my experience though not so pleasant, is something I can learn from. For that, I thank Mindnet International for giving me an experience of a lifetime for the last 6 months. Till then.. Tkc ppl..

My First Entry

It’s been quite some time, I contemplate with the idea of setting up a blog. It was for various reasons that made me signed for an account and one of the contributing reasons was yesterday’s event.

TP OPEN HOUSE JAM N HOP 2006

I was really looking forward to this event, to just let everything down and have fun. When the day came, I guess, the excitement died down, and to make things worst, the entire event was nothing impressive compared to last yr. From the rain, to the jams till the very last moment, I think the entire event could have been better. But nevertheless I still had fun with my love ones. Thank god, FD was there to liven up atmosphere and I extremely love the game he hosted; “Never under-estimate the power of a women” *SCREAMS* A big salute to you FD, cause I think your right. Another two items that I personally feel stole the limelight was Breakforce Crew and the human beatbox. Breakforce Crew was smooth with their slick and cerograph moves. And the Superb Human Beatbox was truly amazing, I really wonder how he does it..
After 3 hrs, finally, the moment came and soon everyone was caught grooving to the music. However, I had a hard time getting the dudes to dance at first because apparently, I think they were shy. And boy I was so wrong, because once they went into the dance floor, everyone and I really mean everyone just started going CRAZY and grooving to the music. We were about to get our momentum when the music suddenly stops and out came the mary roll song, an indication that the event was coming to an end. What a huge disappointment!! 3 songs to groove and everything were over. I swear, the organizing committee had better do some reflection on this year event and come up with something better next year. Oh well, on a lighter note, I went there to have fun and I did have fun despite everything.
Oh well, i did something terrible so before I end this, I would like to take this opportunity to apologies to the dudes for the message that i sent to them when they decided to leave halfway. I didn’t really think they would come back. And because of that, I feel extremely bad because I know Muhsin(IT) really wanted to watch that band at esplanade. A thousand and one apologies from the bottom of my heart. Till then..Tkc ppl...
