You Got Talent Or Not?

When I was in Standard 4, I tried out to be the lead singer of the nasyid group in my school. Few of my friends came to me afterwards and said I have great voice. hehehee

Years after that, in a boarding school in Kuala Terengganu I found myself singing songs, mostly Too Phat's, Linkin Park's and LimpBizkit's in the toilet, only. If I were to sing those songs outside in the dorm, I'm pretty sure my dormmates would all die horrible deaths LOL.

Yes, it made me wonder how come such thing happen? And then when I learned that boys hit puberty and stuff, I could accept it, a bit. Heh. But then in secondary school, form 1, I discovered I no longer can draw nicely like how I used to in primary school. I remember drawing portraits of Batman & Robin, Malaysia PM then Dr. Mahathir, and even my dad. Give me a drawing pencil now, you can see I'm struggling to draw a straight line! Okay, that's not true. =P

Now, I don't think my transformation from a boy to a teenager that grew some hair at some places have anything to do with my inability to score at least a C in my Pendidikan Seni. I failed for 3 straight years for God's sake. I don't know if I should be embarassed or laughing at that =_="

Even though I know I probably have no talent in singing, I thought maybe I should learn playing some musical instruments. But secondary school in Malaysia is almost like high school in US. There's a class system. Guys who play musical instruments, in the school's brass band or orchestra were deemed to be not man enough. Sheeesh. Me falling under the pressure of course didn't get to learn music and stuff. Besides if I learn music, I couldn't join Scout which contributed a lot to my high school life. Heh.

So 6 years after leaving my alma mater, now here I am in my room, feeling like being burned alive =P, learning how to play guitar online, with the help of YouTubers LOL. So far, it's great apart from my index, middle and ring fingers that always aching after every lesson.

The girlfriend berangan I will serenade her once I can play but I wish that won't happen because I don't wanna put her to a deep eternal sleep LOL. Too much time, that's why learning to play guitar is one of the new things I've been doing so far.

hehehe...

Reconnect: My Journey Back to Blogging

 Hello, fellow travel enthusiasts and friends of Malaysian adventures! It's been an incredible journey, one that saw me take an unexpected hiatus from blogging for more than three years. Life happened (more like COVID happened) —responsibilities, changes, and personal growth—but one thing remained constant: my love for exploring the beauty and diversity of Malaysia. With power to put Dillan on my back, comes great responsibility! Today, I'm excited to announce my return to the world of  blogging. It's a bit like revisiting an old friend and reminiscing about unforgettable experiences. As I dust off my keyboard and sift through the memories of past travels, I can't wait to reconnect with all of you and share new adventures. Reflecting on the Past During my hiatus, I took the time to recharge, reflect, and embark on new journeys, both physically and emotionally. I've explored different aspects of life, including my passion for raising awareness about autism, delved de

Hang Tuah The Animation?

Woah, woah! Read this at beautifulnara about a three way agreements signed by Japanese anime studio Gonzo (Blood: The Last Vampire), Malaysian animation studio Funcel and Malaysia's National Film Development Corporation to produce Hang Tuah the animation! The protagonists....maybe? The antagonists...look so.. It sounds cool to me at first but I am being a bit skeptic about having non Malaysians to make an anime out of this legendary warriors, Hang Tuah and his friends. What more, I wonder are the voice actors gonna be Japanese too? I remember watching Silat Lagenda. That was awesome for our technology that time. But I think I shouldn't be all negative about Gonzo studio animating Hang Tuah because it's a collaboration....I think? Well, you guys can read more here and here . hehehehe
