Happy Birthday Adam

Assalamu'alaikum wbt and hi

Here in Labuan FT Malaysia GMT +8, when I'm writing this, it's 2 minutes before 12 am (11:58pm) of July 5th 2014.
I know EST is still Friday 4th July 11:58 am

I feel like going to post some thoughts of me about Owl City - is that make sense
Anyway
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM YOUNG! <3

Haha potato jk

You're 28 now. Wow we're just have 10 years of gap. That doesn't matter jk
So Adam Young, which is also Owl City
talking about him at this midnight while listening to his music I am really really feeling deep.
With his adorable voice ughh
Ohh yess, #BeyondTheHillsOfOwlCity is now trending in Twitter cuz one of our Hoot Owl is handling a virtual birthday party on Twitter and going to release her music for Adam. :D
Few weeks ago, I've thought and tweeted about "When #HootOwl girl meets #HootOwl boy a happy love story begins" and some Hoot Owls agreed with the statement. That really make sense somehow. Because Hoot Owls have their own way of life ( lol ) I mean I can see they're in good manners due to Adam the considered leader of Hoot Owls that give good vibes. Yess his musics are most of them, especially his latest EP Ultraviolet, lyrically sad and deep while it's melody is happy and cheerful ( I guess ).

It's more to like he's trying to understand no he's understanding you like you can bring any of his songs through your good or bad day whenever you want. You'll feel like writing the whole songs all about you I guess I'd never feel like this for the other artists I've ever being fan of.

Another great thing about us Hoot Owl is Adam consider us as his friend lol that might sounds weird in reality but nah even it's just virtual this humble guy name Adam really consider us as friends and I'm like yuckkk this old guy he's not my friend jk.

Adam is... Humble. Yes really humble I've never found another great artist in his level that would interact, socialize and share things with fans. He shared lots of his history (or memory or whatever) in his instagram and all the stories are sound really humbly spoken. Like some of his school background, subjects and family.

Sometimes I feel like I have some common personalities no I mean I can relate him this sounds crazy though but nevermind reading his stories of past really remind me of myself in the past.
But I can see his past is harder than me.

Some snippets about his interesting life stories that might affects you be like, he graduated high school and thinking about what his life is going to be then he wrote musics and call himself as Owl City and all his friends is history.
He is always feeling grateful for what he has and will always do the best now because for him, anytime unknowingly some things might become what he had.
The most thing I relate him is in that particular time, everyone hates him
and in school everyone is annoyed with him and he found everyone is annoying.
He didn't like to socialize in public ( I'm not sure now )
When people try to talk to him like trying to socialize with him, he's just like *I don't want to talk*.

Some of his best lines of songs,
My heart's burning bad and it's turning black but I'm learning how to be stronger.
It's just a beginning this isn't the end.
This fight of my life is so hard but I'm gonna survive, these are beautiful times.
Cause the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.
I'll forget the world that I knew, but I swear I won't forget you.
If my heart was a compass you'd be north.
I can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me.
I walk slowly when I feel alone ( do you feel alive? ) yeah but frankly I still feel alone.
You can't whisper above the thunder but you can fly anywhere.
Picture paints a thousand words.
Don't look back.
Is it over yet, will I ever smile again?
A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can't retrace.
A mountain of things I still regret.
I'll be out of my mind and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon.
There's an underwater Ferris Wheel.
I'm blushing all the way home.
The Sun hung from a string looking down on the world as it warms over everything.
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall.

Many more! Like the whole lyrics of all of his songs!

Holiday!

Assalamu'alaikum wbt and hi there! Now I'm having my holiday. :3
But just one week. :/
I've been rather busy during study. In my college. Not just busy, but also no internet to online or blogging.
><
Someone said that;
In the college, you gonna miss your home.
In home, you gonna miss your college.
At first, I ignore that. But thinking about my crush. AWWW. Hahaha awful.
He's the reason I support the statement. I really miss my college. :D

About the pictures below. Sad to know that I took this picture with the camera...
Which I supposed to make a video.
But no one support me...
Only 1 / 4 for of my group member cooperated partially with me. :(
That time I already busy with works, then I've to finish the video base also. :'(
But nvm forget about that because I already forgot. Hihi. :)




Planning to make the camwhore theory. Nooo. >:(

Me and my classmate CP1T08. ^^

My class picture. That was during the big iftar* on... I forgot.
Ohh yeaa. I almost forgot, my ex-teacher also had spent us (me and all SMKM's students) iftar's meal on... Also forgot.
Because my ex-teacher is now become a lecture in my college! ^^

Finally, about today. This evening I was dreaming about. Ghost?
I dreamed that I was guiding a (chinese) boy. He drove me. We were chasing Chinese children (ghosts) that is so rude. They also like do multi-religion pray. But finally we're safe like in heaven hahaaa. After I wokeup suddenly think about a boy. (Have you ever been like this? :O) - Like a story? -___- Anyway my point is I'm afraid with that rude ghost children. It was an eveningmare.

Goodbye.

Iftar* - Breakfast.

Along the journey...

I'm posting those days I captured.

KK - LBU











LBU






I love this picture. Hahaha.







12 am face.















 Really enjoy. Sleep in Beta Apartment with friends. Taking pictures and befriended with cute and famous people. Awesome. ><
Combo RTM Sabah Leader.

Me and my singer.



Publisher Mrs. Wahidah with combo RTM Sabah as background.



Dry Run.

Miss all of these. Before I change my course starting tomorrow (I hope still have time for music course), I want to say that I really really enjoy all my music journey for RTM. From the people I knew until the knowledge I got, I'm so grateful to Allah swt.
Many thanks to RTM, Labuan FM, Mrs. Wahidah Abdullah, Combo RTM Sabah (I've to mention them - Raimon Sukudat, Nadia Hong, Romeo Jaibet, Charlie Jelius, Bryan Leong, Abdurrazaf, Niezam Zulqieflee, Suhaimie Jamli), my singers (Erin and Zurin), other nominees (Gapai tanganku, Labuan Indah, Sayang Labuan, Joget Labuan, Kasih Ibu, Ampuan's, Bendera Labuan) and all those who had co-operated to contrive this function. But I'm sorry to listen to my own song in the final. Not like what I hope, but I'm still grateful. Also, moments with combo are really sweet. They're attractive and maybe that was the time I was paying court to those handsome and cute combo. Just kidding.
It's just many types of people I found, suchlike the acting one, macho one, friendly one, TOO friendly, normal, starer (it's from staring), snobbish one. Hahaha. :D

Congratulations to the other finalist too! Take care and goodbye. :)

I'm continuing to the next chapter of my life...

I'm going to register for Matriculation College tomorrow, maybe some people think it's not a good idea, but this is my way. Just in my hometown for this year... Some people wants me to continue study out of my hometown. But you know why I'm ignoring that? I think I can make money in my hometown. Now this is what I don't say - After the RTM function, 2 people are inviting for music. 1 people invite me to compose musics for Labuan FM and another one (band of musician awww) invite me to be their random guitarist. I hope I can try the best for that too. ^^
Wish me luck!

Why so serious.

I hope the title attractive enough.
Hello there, how long had my blog sleep? That was just an unexpected nap! Hahaha.
That memorable reply makes me stucked of mind to update more. :3

Alright now, I'm talking about, maybe this week.
I was depress, stress, that's all. I have no idea why. Maybe because I'm handling this little projects - music and video on a time. I was making a song and a music video for the contests I've joined.
The problem is, there are many things that made me down and force me to give up. But who wants me to give up is the one who wants to die killed by me. I will never never never ever give up for something that I've done. I'm not genius but I'm not stupid also to easily give up. Unless you ask me to read a novel then I'll just read the title and give up on reading that. Depends on thing. Talking about books, my brother told me "Successful person is the one who always read books". How I wish my dreams are books then I'm going to be a successful person - Yes you know what I mean, I'm a dreamer.

Ohhh, this post gonna be too many relates. I'm a southpaw so I'll always use my right brain. That's why I love arts more than books - I hate arts it makes me headache. So books more.

I love counting, but I hate counting money. How come? I love money but I hate counting them.

*Back to the main topic

7th March 2013: The deadline of the song contest. Okayy I can accept that it was the last hours I sent. I'm not so happy with the song. I'm happy with the music but there's something wrong. Something that makes me forever curious.

After that, my mind set free for a while.
Note it's A WHILE.
4 days more for the deadline of the music video contest and I don't even finish the video yet.
Many things keep forcing me to stop. I feel so annoyed with those problems.

But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone.
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home.
So I planned to make it by myself. That's great, brilliant idea. But at last I need a friend too. To make up the plan. Finally it works well. The main idea of the music video is out of sync from my 1st idea actually, but it's some kind of. So I think it's okayy.

On the deadline, 11 hours more before deadline, I was still dreaming. I don't understand myself.
I upload it, fail, upload it, fail, upload it, fail. IF IT TAKES 1 SECOND TO UPLOAD THAT WOULDN'T BOTHER ME. But this time, uploading 137MB is sweet enough to feel the hurt, broken, damaged heart of mine when it fails.

Just imagine, I upload them for about 3 hours for each time and those each time keep error. I think I've uploaded it maybe reach 10 times or more already. So how do you feel? I started upload since 11pm I guess until 6pm on the next day. Almost 24 hours. You don't know my story. There's no behind the scene of my story. Then don't treat me like noob or idiot - Why am I talking this HAHAHA.
Just express, don't think this is an easy job. Don't easily ask, mad, angry to me or anything. If I give you this job I think you don't have the effort to upload them just more than 5 times. That frustrating, sad, dissapointment, angry, mad are all you can feel.

This is it. One of the failure I captured. You see the bottom of the browser, it shows 99%. While in page still 34%.
It's an error. When I click submit, it will end up with the browser refreshed and you have to reupload it.

One of them too.


The web host asked me to reupload it again.
Because they saw my video was uploading.
He told me, don't stressed about the deadline, they can help me.
So I keep uploading uploading and keep error.
Few hours after deadline, I found out there's no more my project option in the list.
So I contact the host, I told them that there was still issue on my footage.
Finally they helped me. Really appreciate that.







That feeling that I always want to cry. But eventually...

Eventually, my wish come true. I wait for this moment so much until I can smoothly play the fingerstyle you know!

I'm just kidding, I mean not so smooth but in case better than before. Since while waiting for the upload, I play them, replay, play, replay keep on playing the same fingerstyle. But after fully uploaded, I was really really so grateful to Allah. That time, on my mind was just, I just hope it can fully uploaded, I don't mind it doesn't win because I can see there are 108 nominees to fight for. I'm just glad and happy that there will be Malaysian Muslims at least and I just don't want something I do worthless.

Finally I can see this page. :)

This story for me are so sad. HAHAHA. Yeah you don't understand but this might be one of the funniest memory in my life.

Moral : NEVER GIVE UP!
I post this blog post at midnight almost 2am because I'd just took my supper - white coffee that makes me insomniac and can think as people awake in the afternoon.
