My Musical Biography

I've found something interesting from my laptop. This post is actually my task for my minor course (Thanks to Sir Mayco Axel Santaella for taught me last semester). But I guess it's quite interesting to be shared. Why not? Since a lot of my friends and my relatives keep asking me how I start my musical experience, here's the answer..

I didn’t have so much experience in music when I was little. During my preschool times, I learnt to sing so many nursery rhymes either in English or Malay language such as “If You Happy and You Know It” and “Burung Kakak Tua”. At this stage, I have been taught to sing a lot of nursery rhymes and lullabies but I haven’t been exposed to play any musical instrument yet.

When I was in my elementary school, my teacher has introduced us with simple musical notes. At the same time, we learnt to play recorder and castanet every week. I was not exposed to music at my early childhood. Seeing that I’m not so much exposed to music at that time, I’m not interested to learn any musical instrument.

At the age of 13, I started to listening English songs such as Rihanna and Avril Lavigne. One of the reasons why I listen to English songs because I want to improve and enhance my vocabulary in English. Because of that, to understand the content of the song, I wrote and copy the lyrics from internet and find the meaning if I don’t understand the lyrics about the song. My tastes in music always change all the time. I am much preferred to listen piano cover instrumental song rather than the original one.

When I was 14, I was discovered myself that I can play piano and keyboard. It started when I just randomly tap the piano key at my neighbor house. I just play the random keys and try to make a melody. After a few minutes, I can play the “Titanic” song but I just play with the right hand only. From that moment, my parents has bought a keyboard for me to learn from the Youtube. The piano class are quite expensive, so I decided to learn from the internet to improve my skills even though I’m not using the real piano. When I was in pre-university at the age of 18, I took the challenge to make my first solo keyboard performance on Prefect’s Annual Dinner at my school. Since that, I was thinking that I want to learn music more serious especially in musical instruments.

When I get into university, I started to join the official music band in my college. I took the challenge again to be the only one girl who play the keyboard while the rest of them in my band are boys. I don’t know how to read musical score but I've learnt how to read a simple chords. It makes me easier to play the keyboard. We did a lot of performances and competitions even though we didn’t won it but it is really a great experience for us. After a few semester, I registered the music course as my minor since that I want to learn music more deeply and serious. When I learn music in a formal way, I think it build up my understanding and helps me to intensify my skills in music.

Ragam yang akan kau jumpa di media sosial

Situasi 1:
Pernah rasa tak, kadang kadang tu kita rasa nak post something kat fb or twitter or apa apa lah. Tiba tiba ada kawan kita kat dalam tu terasa. Tapi benda tu takde mengena dengan dia pun. Tapi dia ingat kita tuju kat dia.

Situasi 2:
Kita share kat social media tentang sesuatu perkara, tapi kawan kita tu duk rasa kita ni berlagak pandai. nak show off whatsoever. Dia rasa kita ni annoying, menyampah tengok muka kita menyemak kat timeline dia.

Situasi 3:
Kadang kadang ada masa kita nak luahkan something kat social media ni. Nak luahkan rasa marah, sedih (Even no one cares! Haha) Tapi dia ingat kita ni marah or benci kat dia. Pastu boleh berbalas balas pulak. Status or tweet dia macam ada kaitan dengan kita punya. Tapi kawan kita tu tak berani nak mensi kita. Mungkin takut kena kecam? Rasanya yang pernah mengalami benda ni mesti faham.

Situasi 4:
Kita post gambar. Tapi dia tak pernah like. Tapi gambar orang lain dia like pulak. Aneh bukan? (yang ni tak terasa sangat pun sebab aku tak hadap pun like kau tu)

Situasi 5:
Post gambar boyfriend or girlfriend or apa apa je yang sweet sweet terus di cop gatal. Up terus status or tweet yang acah acah agamawan siber. What the fish!?

Kesimpulannya disini, "kawan" kita tu tak senang melihat kesenangan atau kelebihan orang lain. Pathetic. Orang macam ni aku nasihatkan jangan pakai social media. Kau mungkin ada masalah hati. Penuh kedengkian dan iri hati yang teramat. Pergi rawat dulu lepas tu buat akaun baru ye. Dont get offended easily. Chill bro sis sekalian. :)

Blog aku umum untuk bacaan semua orang. Aku tak mensi siapa siapa kan?

Megi Ramen

Laparrr. Makanan dah habis. Nak tak nak aku nak jugak makan something untuk alas perut. Aku nampak megi ramen. Pe lagi aku masak laa. Pedas pun pedas la asalkan perut aku kenyang malam ni. Bahagia betul aku sejak cuti sem ni. Asal lapar je makan. Kalau kat kolej ni elok je aku tahan perut sampai pagi esok. Balik rumah jadi camni pulak. Takut jugak nak check berat kat penimbang. Kadang-kadang kan aku terperasan ada double chin rupanya aku ni. Kah!

Habis buat ramen tu tetiba aku terfikir. Rasa macam nak buat challenge kat diri sendiri. Apa kata kalau makan megi ramen ni but no water? Alang-alang makan sorang aku pun try la makan tanpa berulamkan air. Lepas ni boleh la action depan adik-adik aku. Hahahaha!

Elok pulak aku makan megi ni kalau tak minum air? Patut la ada orang cakap tak pedas. Takde la pedas mana pun. Apasal masa first time aku makan kemain merah bibir aku? Maksudnya, kalau once kita dah start minum air time tu yang start jadi pedas. Camtu la kot teorinya. Pastu pedas dia pun cepat je hilang. So aku berjaya makan megi ramen tu sampai habis. Satu kejayaan!

By the way, kepada yang masih meragui status kehalal-an megi ramen ni toksah lah makan (sila semak page Bahagian Hab Halal, JAKIM untuk lebih penjelasan) And toksah lah potong selera orang yang nak makan. Hormatlah orang yang nak menjamu selera. Anda tak mahu makan itu hak anda.

"Lame imma lame. Mana ada orang cerita pasal ramen dah sekarang. Ketinggalan betul."

Eh sukahati lah aku nak post cerita apa pun kan? Peace! :)

Tapi tadi kan, lepas aku makan megi ramen tu aku minum jugak air 4 gelas ribena. Kira aci tak tu? Hmm..
