*Nikki, Hawa





It was an ensemble of all the right tunes to my ear.
In this right time of the year.
And projecting along with it, is much more enjoyful.


* Personal takes:

1.
Heard that Catchy Uh-Oh's but ain't a bad sign. Was as strong and even punchier.
I can see myself head nodding and throw myself some self-choreographs, and runs out of breath right after.
Afterall it is a girl's anthem,average bitchin' which is necessary.
Was fun, like a wake up song, after a dreamy sleep.

2.
Cool edges.
This sets in my mood, right when it hits.
I just loves guitar driven vibes. It's refreshing to hear the drumbeats and crisp voices combines. It has a rock glitz with some cheeky twist.
Kinda sweet and raw. A quick sing a long.

3.
Melodramatic. The emotions was thorough.
Im not a fan of ballads but this make a quick entry.
Can easily fit the mood, lyric was straight forward and it's just soothing.
Plain frank lyric and whisperings. Fun to sing along after a fun breakups.
My favourite vocals excerxise. It is. Not odd.

4.
Furtado, Spears and the likes.
Colorful dynamics and i would put this on my earphones, while dancing in the club.
Would actually work.
It's a dark song with a twist of eerieness and sexy moves. Favourite.
Balanced arrangemened, after all I just want to hear the vocal to work the charm.
Im imagining a raunchy futuristic videos, with tight spandex and rainbow ponytails.

5.
Slight country-esque, wasn't that appealing for the first time.
I skipped the play cos it was a night drive, just doesnt seems right.
But after a third play, i can almost sings out through.
Miraculous that i loved this, 'If I Were A Boy' is a close match, in term of the mood and the conscious level.
Nikki wrote this.

6.
We see some selling points.
It was an absurd chic merge of classic ingredients for a modern day brunch recipe.
Hot tango-ish with chilling intervals. This is actually The Sounds that ive been searching, surfing, you-tubing for, and for Nikki to do this, it was essentially That Cherry On Top.
To hear an Italian singer to do this is just lame, but Nikki being able to pull such versatility is just admired.
U just want more of this.
I mean I do.

7.
It doesn't sounds that Mariah. And if it was, it better be.
I just love the plain prayers, wishes and that eager of world peace.
Its just sounds so sinsere and made the song worth play. Catchy and dreamy.
Was on airplay just now, it's a sweet song u want to sing on rainy days.
Or when u are all alone overseeing the haze over the city skyline.
At times its just as sweet as Spice Girls 'Mama', to some extent.

8.
This songs ties together the ballad mood for the whole album.
A tad bit like the previous one, this is strong but easy, manage to sing along, the slow part is as fun synching with the fast ones.
I wander what happens if there could be more falsetto vocals for that backups, that would add more of Nikki's punch into it.
What would make it that personal.
At this point, i am convinced, Its the voice that carries the job.

9.
An everyday song, a unique everyday song, lyric was balanced poetic and direct.
Simple arrangement's made interesting with sincere words and bold delivery.
Don't know how others felt listening to it, like a classic r&b jazz or something. Attitude wise.

10.
An english version of 1 .
Could have been even fun if they work out a total different lyric/ theme and delivery by this English version.
A totally different song with same arrangements would be nice.
Personally, let it be That good in Malay and translations felt a little seconder for me. I wonder if they come up with the English version first or versa.

11.
Know where to find a true Classic in Malay?
Actually waiting for this since 1993. A very cool attempt indeed.
Breaking the wall of whatsoever.
Refreshingly an easy climax for me, and was worthy shot.
Short,precise and treasury valuable. It's like the only Oyster u gonna had in that Fine Dinner.
It was rather surreal, the projections sounds just bonechilling, no matter how they made it, but i wish for more of this. Come on.

12.
Right after the frenzy deep intense moments in the previous, this flows in.
It doesnt went wrong.
I dont really know if someone else could pull and ooze this any better but it's just as breezy and sweet like the original score.
Tranqualizing smooth and the over statement One could make will be like "Finally im in Heaven".

The 15.5 Hours


We won't blame chances for the shredding opportunities. Plans slips through our fingers & frozen dreams boils down.

Cultivate it, hibernate it in the few days.

Recompose, hard as rock & tough as time.

Through Masking this weekend with New Companies,
All being between the Wet Weather a& Warm Skin.

Thanks Bella. Happy Birthday.

Structured for fertility.

Daylight & Fresh Air

Eye & Sight

KL-Mersing-KL, 13th15th



The weekend package was fulfilling and great gracious. Travel fast and slow over days and nights of in-prompt-tu's with these happy guys, mutual individuals. It was all good fun and refreshing. Thanks for the time and chances to dwell in the event, and to remember. Things went to a new length and some visions went through new windows over new horizons.
Nevertheless, I just want to spend my seconds with you.

U Hit The Right Button & I Popped Out

Only These



Thank Goodness there's a point of reference.
In fact, a few.
I can see them, touch and smell.
Or just wear this.

The closest i could get.
The best u could give.
For these days.

In Apple Green & Pink


First time. Dark. Sleepy. Quite affectionate.

Funny. Quite affectionate.

In Lungs Of The Village


Can't stop the smirking over the peasant view, inside, outside, in sights and the external sightings. I stare at my definition of peace and tranquility and he roars back like a kitten with his play-roaches.
Over wet days, and wet nights, there goes some of the awe moments, now past like that blink of our eyes.
I love the way it fitted in, the way he dwells along.

Hijau


Was being hit again with this song.

To remember those days when Nature was the WORLD to me. Play ground of soil, sand, twigs and the strong branches.

When today, the City seem to be the World to most of us, play ground with status, style, smokes and all the intricacies.

Now Earth and all the five elements are known to degrade. 
Soils turns to dust, water turns to death/ icebergs collapses, fire soaring wild, wind brings bad news, spurs of hear-says and cyber crimes.

And loves turns to lust.

That Day, we will all die together, with our loved ones, and with The Earth that we loved.


Isn't it just nice, better that dying alone, on bed, car crashes or the stab in the heart.


*Hijau, Zainal Abidin.

Towards The End, Pre Beginnings.


Its Friday. Looking forward for the weekend.
Expecting some long and deep quiet days, far from any highlights. To the corners of the map. Under the lifetime Rambutan Tree.

Good Night


It's a bright night. The wait was serene and fulfilling. The scene was natural and refreshingly pale, the journey was slanted and cool. The meal was just fine. The last part was excruciating.
Good Night.

Kept Captivity



Stay put! Stay Still.

Im dwelling in the essences of that image and the chills that it brings.

Hotel, Stonor/Kia Peng



Woke up an hour early. It's 8am. From scratch again. It's not that much of a new thing. A 4 breakfast-hour design work. To please the task.

Eerie Effort


Among others, this is what i have done when there's nothing to do. As it's the only thing worth to do right then.

Don't laugh. But do continue your laughter if you did smiled first.

AlOne With A New One


Sitting alone in my living room never felt so good. Not for watching the funny prank's on Ziana Zain on the TV, but for the phase im in at the moment. The phase of completion.

This is an new event, far from Dejavu.

Nothing Unusual


Apart from the usual longing for the other half. Nothing much yea. Keeping up with work, fiddling fingers and yawns.

Filamen Of Uwth


I was all of sudden enlighten to do this. I mean, really do this. Yet didn't know to what extends.
