They are back!

Finally I got the chance to listen the new Metallica's 'death magnetic' album. I m craving to this kind of album since the black album. Okey i might say 'death magnetic' is more or less like 'load' and 'reload' and slightly a mixture of their old-times albums (master of puppet + kill 'em all + ... and justice for all + ride the lightning + the black album... something like that!). I dont noe what to expect from them... they always comes with creative ideas. I believe they always have something to express beneath each of their album, but frankly m not into 'st.anger'! even i found it was unique release from them.

'Death Magnetic' really make my head moves!. I love this album very much. It seems they are exploding from the cocoon! the guitars are so powerful and acceptable, Lars Ulrich's catchy drummings, James styles of singing.. for me he is the living-legend of American Heavy Metal cowboy I might say!. Among all of the tracks I love 'Cyanide' the most! but still the rest are good and worth to listen. Btw, I was quite impress to the part of the guitar solo at 'Suicide and Redemption'... its rock man mcm rock kapak!

The new bassist, Robert Turjillo didnt let Metallica down.. he is the backbones!. I can accept him playing for Metallica, he is good as Cliff Burton and Jason !. Besides, he is a professional bassist!. He rocks and fits Metallica. I m hoping to hear more albums from them in future.

Another update!

It is towards the end of Shyawal... inda kerasahaan. I almost forgotten my blog. Anyhow I have nothing to update since I m busy with my recent workloads... 4 hari ganya cuti raya nyamoo... somehow "back to school" made the 'celebration' mood to vanish, i dont felt enough.. Walau bagaimanapun hari raya tetap disambut dengan gumbira.

Im back to the routine.. working, jamming, dating and keep myself busy.. what else?. I even forgotten my 'spore' but it is not important, just keep my mind narrow to my primary 4 since they will be sitting for their final assessments in this forthcoming week.. 'working to earn living' is much more serious deal then gaming. Besides I have a project which was to record an acoustic song for my friend's project... I mean for his UBD project. It is for his e book or something... i dont noe, but what I like of doing this project was the song he gave to me... it is a traditional song "Laila Menchanai"... really awesome. As I first heard of the melody I found it was way too similar to "Kampong Ayer".. was really confused with the melody. I found this music lovely, pure malays soundings and melancholic.. it even touched my heart as I understood the lyric. sob! sob! sob!.. ewahhh... The lyric's plot is strong really!... I was deeply astonish to the creator and the singer... brilliant!. Why I never heard of this song before ?. Actually it was my "one day project" since my buddy needs it urgent. So I tried my best to listen and to record it ASAP... it was fully acoustic. Frankly I was not satisfied though since it was all done in rush. But thats the best I can do. I would like to hear more of these genres, and will be in my playlist.

Oh ya, today is my birthday... well, still muda belia cheaa... Thanks to all for the greetings and prayers.. same goes to you. For me, most important is to keep in path and always be grateful and appreciate for all the blessings from Him. Beshyukur for letting me glancing around with wealth. Anyway thanks to my darl for the presents... love the white box the most !.. sampai ter delete my movies folder just to play and to get use of this lovely gadget heheh...

1st Syawal

Allah Hu Akhbar, Allah Hu Akhbar, Allah Hu Akhbar, Walilah ilham.. today is 1st Syawal in Brunei, meaning the first day to celebrate victory after a month of fasting. Besides it is a day to visit the families especially our belove ones. Thats what we always do during our first hari raya, to visit our dearest "Nini Mama" at Panchor and to meet the families (the uncles, aunties, cuzions, nephews, nieces dan siapa saja yg sewaktu dengannya..). However this is our second years of not going to BSB after my late grandma pass away and feel a bit awkward, still !. I miss the time with her especially during this hari raya. Al Fatihah to my late beloved 'Nini Babu'... I miss her so much.

Okey for all CiHMers, here is the link (click the word 'link') for today's hari raya photos.. so many 'noisy' and 'out of focus' pictures due to low light surrounding (esyehh alasan hahah!). The truth is, I was completely forgotten to buy my speedlight batteries, hence I only rely on natural light, ISO and apperture. So guys kalau berkenan download saja. And sorry kalau ada yang nda tegambar

Dikesempatan ini saya ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya to all friends (yg membaca blog ani!, sorry kalau nda terbalas msg haa!)... Mohon maaf dipinta mensuci hening dosa, seruan kita untuk semua, Selamat Hari Raya dan Selamat Minum Oren!

CiHMers Khatam Al-Quran

Two days, countdown to Adilfitri.. insyAllah. Anyway 29th September was a big day for all CiHMers (my big family union). It was a celebration of the CiHMers Khatam Al-Quran. I believe this is our first time and should be sustained as an annual event especially in the holy month of Ramadhan. The event took place at my Angah's residence. We were also breaking the fast after the Khatam and I love the food .. segala2 ada termasuk sushi!. I would like to congratulate to all who made this possible (u know who u r !). I m very happy to see all the family were gathered in the celebration... and again keep up the good works guys !.

Oh ya btw, welcome home to all cousins from the overseas (again u know who u r !) .. selamat pulang ke tanah air guys, sunyi Brunei kamu nada ah.. hahah. Anyway here is the link for the photos during the ceremony (ps: CiHMers - download as u wish). Kudos to Bibih n Majidah for the snaps!.

'Scormonkies' to their civilization!

Hello guys.. let me introduce u 'scormonkey' my SPORE creature! hahah yeah m playing SPORE n thanks to Jam Imac for installing it to my machine. I m having alot of fun playing it. Take a look at my creature, they look silly and mean but so funny... they are flyin carnivores and ate every living creature who wont to be socialize with them and yet easily to make friends who love their dances and music.. Hahaha sounds wired but who cares as long I m enjoying this game!

Okey its a GAME, where you participate a microscopic single cell creature to its evolution... from marine life to a troop of land creatures. I dont want to talk much about it, you may find it here.. All in all it is a superb 3-dimensional cartoon-like game. okey. To jam Imac : Im now at civilization stage.. you must look at my vehicle man! ahaha... labih imagine!. SPORE rules!. 'till next time

Tribal era... a stage to claim victory

Ghosting Shutter

I learned something beneficial and fun from Abg Hasrin.. it is how to manipulate shutter speed from DSLR. Before, I only rely shutter speed for capturing motion and "trailing", and furthermore it is a nagging process which leads to out of focus if it below 50secods without tripod. I never thought of this before till Abg Hasrin lends me his manfrotto tripod and to try it at Pantai Seri Kenangan at midnight!... sounds like "mcm org panat" but "memberikan hasil!" hahah... Below is an example on what we experiment tengah malam buta with 10seconds shutter speed... it is an "edit-free" pic (no clone stamping! or what so ever!).
