MUSIC REVIEW: ZEE AVI  

Posted by theDirector



I was lying at my couch and surfing the net randomly just to find interesting things that i can write in my blog. Besides news on Michael Jackson, there were none that caught my eyes, and so i was getting a little frustrated. So, while i was browsing through something, i was listening to zee avi and suddenly an idea pop up in my mind. Why don't i try to make review on singer since i like listening to music. so here you are. my 1st music review. hope u like it. :)




Album: Zee Avi
Singer: Zee Avi
Official Website: www.zeeavi.com
Record Label: Brushfire Records
boljack's Rating: 4/5






I've been listening to zee avi(formerly known as KokoKaina) after being introduced by my friend, who happens to consult me to do a video on youtube just like her. So, i was searching for her in youtube, and try to listened to her song. And I was stunned by her voice! She has such a great voice, reminds me of Norah Jones and Ella Fitzgerald. What's more surprising that she's a Malaysian, or to be precise, a Sarawakian! Ok she's living in America so what? At least she remembered her hometown. Her talents is real. She can play guitar (and ukelele as well!), while sings perfectly, which is a very2 hard thing to do, trust me. Too bad only 1% of Malaysian people knows her (damn that's why our entertainment industry sucks, just like our football.) :P

Her music is what i like to describe as mellow, soothing, a music that makes you calm and at rest. It's not too fast, neither it's too slow. the arrangement was simple, but that's what makes her songs really good. The lyrics are also simple, but have a poetic and deep meaning. Sometimes i laugh when listening to her song because most of her songs have a sad lyrics but her music tells it otherwise. As I mention before, her voice plays a big role in her songs, and with voice like her, it's not too exaggarating to say that her songs are just perfect.

Her most popular song must be Bitter Heart. The song tells a story about a girl(or a wife maybe?) who is heartbroken and getting tired of his man that always come home late, and suspected him of having another girl. It's a pretty simple 2.37 minutes song. It sounded mellow with a little bit of jazz. Another song is Honey Bee, which is my favourite. The song is about two people who are in love and try to escape from the world that they hate. Based on the lyric, the female try to save the male from the hated place with a help of her friends, and finally they are together. Kinda like romeo and juliet, but this time juliet comes to save romeo.hrmmm....Another one that is my favourite is the song called "kantoi". Probably her shortest song, and the funniest one! the song is in Manglish (malaysia-english) and the lyric is pretty straightforward. Try to listen to it and i'm sure you will love it, or rather laugh out loud. :D

So guys, what are you waiting for? Grab her album now(if u really2 like her music), or just download it on the net, or you can see her on youtube.

beautiful face with beautiful voice. Seing girls playing guitar really turns me on. :)

Hello bloggers, or nuffnangers, or whoever u are. Yes2 the title says everything. I'm on twitter now! Just register a minutes ago. I haven't explored it yet but i will later just to know how this thing works.

So, why twitter? Well, since everytime i read other people's blog, there's a little widget that says "Follow me at twitter". Plus, after reading so many e-books about making money by writing blogs, i found out that the word 'twitter" always pop out from nowhere and believe me, it's annoying.

But one thing that trigger me to sign up for twitter was while i was reading an entertainment magazine called "Hot". There is one article that talked about celebrities who is using twitter as part of their daily life. I found it interesting because they really express themselves to other people as a way to closen up their realtionship with fans around the world. Rarely we seen an artist revealing their private life to others, and I was really shock when i read this article.

Enough with my Twitter story. Want to know more about me? Just follow me on twitter! :)

MICHAEL JACKSON DEATH SHOCKED THE WORLD  

Posted by theDirector

Admit it. he's the greatest entertainer ever...


Quote from www.thestar.com.my:

PETALING JAYA:
The entertainment world suffered a double blow when it was reported early Friday morning (Malaysian time) that both pop giant Michael Jackson and 1970s TV star Farrah Fawcett had died in Los Angeles.

Jackson, the “King of Pop” who once moonwalked above the music world, died as he prepared for a comeback bid to vanquish nightmare years of sexual scandal and financial calamity. He was 50.

He died Thursday at UCLA Medical Centre after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.

“It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known,” his brother Jermaine said. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases......

Michael Jackson, or his muslim's name Mikaeel died at the age of 50, and was planning to make a world tour for the last time. truly shocking. But i'm glad that he died as a muslim and i'm sure that he has lead a good life as a muslim.

May Allah bless upon you, Mikaeel.

No more jazz(die tragically in the hands of megatron) but a lot of new characters. My favourite, soundwave is also in the film! accept that he is no more a recording cassettes like in the cartoon. But whadaheck... his voice still rocks!


Another addition that will make transformers fans go crazy is this one. Devastator! The biggest transformers in this sequal. Devastator is basically a combination of 7 other construction vehicles and merge into one big ass robot. But sadly in this film, this big ass robot is really fragile. i won't say much, cuz it will spoil the story. :P

IDA NERINA MAY BE PARALYSED???  

Posted by theDirector

Malaysian actress Ida Nerina.

I was just surfing the net when i found out bout this news. Truly shocking. Let me quote what i've read at The Star Online:

"KUALA LUMPUR: The local entertainment scene was in shock Monday morning after Malay-language media reported that popular actress Ida Nerina had fractured her spine in a fall.

She fell at a condominium in Persiaran Syed Putra here on Sunday and her legs may be paralysed, the reports said.

She is in stable condition and is resting after spinal cord surgery conducted at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre, where the Akademi Fantasia Season Seven (AF7) instructor was referred after first being brought to Pantai Medical Centre for emergency treatment.

The press has not been able to confirm the news with her family.

However her friend Fatimah Abu Bakar, also an AF7 instructor, said the actress’ husband Shahrin Razali -- drummer for rock group Blackrose -- had confirmed the news, according to Malay media reports.

She refused to comment further on what had caused the fall.

Ida Nerina's manager Fizar Harun denied rumours that the actress was assaulted, according to an mStar report." - http://thestar.com.my

Pretty shocking rite? Let's pray to God that she'll be fine and be able to continue her acting career afterwards.

TOP 10 MOST EXPENSIVE FOOTBALL PLAYERS  

Posted by theDirector

Oh look...it's my new entry, and now it's about sports! well when i talk about sports, football is a must. Everyone knows what football is (accept for the americans who apparently play it by using their hand. haha. just a joke guys. i like american football too). In Malaysia, it's our number 1 sports, and our rank in FIFA also starts with number 1, which is 161. haha. Don't feel bad Malaysia. Let us try harder ok? :)

"come get me." A player worth of 80 million?only time tells.

For what i can observe, it seems that everyone who involves with football are pretty much crazy. Pernah dengar pepatah moden "makan bola, tidur bola, minum c*** c***?" Gila ape makan bola? Sometimes football can make people fight, like the other day i saw a fight between fans at kedai mamak. Also whenever team scores a goal, people will shouted like a crazy people saying "goal!!!" or "Arsenal!!!!!" or "f*** you!!!your team sucks!!!" Pretty crazy huh? well not quite. Because of football, there are people out there who is willing to buy a human being. GILA APE NAK BELI2 ORANG NI?INGAT BELI PATUNG BARBIE APE?
"huaahhh!!who's your daddy?" Florentino Perez, Real Madrid's President who thinks that buying people is like buying clothes.

We all know that Kaka is going to real madrid from AC Milan, with a record breaking transfer fee of 59 million pound, thus becoming the most expensive player. But the crazyness doesn't stop there. Few days later, real madrid launch a 80 million pound bid for Cristiano Ronaldo. There you have it. A total of almost 140 million pound - can buy 10+ Buggati Veyron or feed the entire family in Palestine. :)



Here is the Top 10 list of the most expensive football player in the world:

Number 10: Pavel Nedved, 30.6 million pound

"The cannon", Pavel Nedved

A transfer from Lazio to Juventus in 2001 worth of 30.6 million pound, Pavel Nedved fill the void that is left by zinadine zidane when he was going to real madrid. A recipient of the Ballon d'Or in 2003, he led juventus to the final of champions league only to lose to AC Milan. still remember his superb goal against Real madrid. This guy made zidane sulked that nite.

Number 9: Dimitar Berbatov, 30.75 million pound
The most relax player i had ever seen. When he runs, it almost looks like he's walking.

From Tottenham Hotspurs to Manchester United in 2008. at 1st when arrived at old trafford, he managed to become a regular face in the first eleven. but during mid season he seemed to be a little of. with only 14 goals in 42 appearance, i don't know whether Ferguson wants to keep him next season or not.

Number 8: Andrey Shevchenko, 30.8 million pound
The king who has lost his throne

A transfer from AC Milan to Chelsea. one of my favourite player during his day at AC Milan. A recipient of the Ballon d'Or award in 2004 and score the winning penalty against Juventus in 2003 champions league final. Due to injuries, he wasn't a regular in Chelsea, and now he's being loan back to AC Milan, but rarely play for the 1st team. well, hope that he can make a comeback.

Number 7: Cristian Vieri, 32 million pound
The 'beast' is not so wild anymore

A record breaking transfer at that time from Lazio to Inter Milan. A goal scoring machine alongside Ronaldo and Hernan Crespo in Inter Milan. one of the most dangerous striker in the world.

Number 6: Gianluigi Buffon, 32 million pound
It's your friendly neighbourhood, Spider...oh i mean Buffon!!

A transfer from Parma to Juventus. He is the most expensive goal keeper in the world. Pretty reasonable for one of the best goalkeeper in the world. have u ever see this guy save a goal?totally out of this world. Especially during that save from Adrian Mutu's penalty in Euro 2008 that save Italy's butt from early exit.

Number 5: Robinho, 32.5 million pound
Omg! i'm the most expensive guy in Premier League
Money do the talk here. A premier league record breaking transfer from Real Madrid to Manchester City warns other club that MC is being serious here. Although fail to capture kaka for an absurd 100 million pound transfer, it won't stop them from getting more great players. now, who is Abramovic?

Number 4: Hernan Crespo, 35.7 million pound

this player moves a lot.

in the summer of 2000 Sven-Goran Eriksson's Lazio were Serie A champions and flush with cash following the sale of Christian Vieri to Inter Milan a year before for a then world-record fee. They spent 35.7million of their money on Parma's Hernan Crespo, who finished top scorer in the league in his first season in Rome but was unable to help the club defend their Scudetto and also left for Inter in 2002.

Number 3: Luis Figo, 37 million pound
the guy who made David Beckham cry by receiving the 2000 Ballon d'Or

Perez was elected Real president in the summer of 2000 on the back of his promise to do the unthinkable and bring the star player from arch-rivals Barcelona to the Bernabeu. Upon appointment he was true to his word, breaking the world transfer record by signing Luis Figo for 37 million.

Number 2: Zinadine Zidane, 46.7 million pound
The greatest. His play is the best towards the end. I even respected the head butt.

Following the controversial arrival of Luis Figo in the Spanish capital a year before, Real president Florentino Perez continued his now infamous Galacticos project with the capture of the then FIFA World Player of the Year Zinedine Zidane from Italian giants Juventus for a fee that stood as the world record until Kaka's deal.

Number 1: Kaka, 59 million pound

The guy who have won everything, but still humble towards God. A good example to Malaysian footballers

Until Real came in for Ronaldo, their reported £59m bid for Kaka looked like it was going to be the new world record benchmark for a transfer fee. Kaka said he was moving 'for AC Milan'. Course he is. Kalau aku, aku pun nk. :)

A WHOLE NEW REVOLUTION  

Posted by theDirector

Hey guys...for those who has followed my blog since the start, don't freak out. it's still me again. Like the new me?o yeahh i'm the most stylish guy in the world. haha. kidding. But for those who is new to my blog, a big welcomed from me. thanks for visiting my blog, and feel free to drop some comment. :)

I've been reviewing my blog this past weeks, trying to figure out what i really wanted to write for my blog. What can i see here is that i've been writing mostly about myself, my life, and...yes me. so there was no variety or whatsoever that may bored the readers of my blog. So, less traffic, less money (haha curious of what the hell am i talkin about?please drop a comment).

Traffic = Money!

so what i need is a change, a revolution, a renovation, and whatever 're' i could think of in order to excite my blog. i need to create some really2 hot topics that can burn the readers' eyes. o yeah...burn baby burn. So, you might get to see something mix up that might make u think "wtf is this blog all about?" So, prepare guys. Ready some eye-mo before you read my blog. :P

Some of my friends has been asking to me why do i use english for my blog?Yeah i kinda know what they're trying to say. Reading English written blog do sometimes irritates us, because sometimes we don't kinda understand what they trying to say (it happens to me as well. my english is not that good, really). Well, for me it's not the problem of the blogger, but rather the problem comes from the readers themselves. We've been talking Bahasa Malaysia in our daily life, so why not try to strengthen our english by writing our blog using english language. And try to read a lot of english written articles, books, magazines etc. oh yes i'm not against those who use BM as their blogging language. so, don't flame me here. :)
although this picture is funny, this is the reality we must accept(still, it's funny.haha!)

But sometimes, i will use other language besides english. Tak nak la orang cakap aku lupa bahasa la, berlagak mat salleh la, speaking london bridge is falling down la konon, dan segala tomahan2 dengki kat aku.haha. gurau. joke. O yeah, feel free to drop some comment, some hot one also can so i can remember you. when i remember you, i will visit your site. when i visit your site, it'll increase your traffic. more traffic means more money. haha. enough with the lame joke. see ya~
