Pantun by Zainal Abidin

Another beautiful and soulful song from my all-time favourite green singer Zainal Abidin.

This 'Pantun' is one of the soundtracks in the local movie, Sepi, produced by Khabir Bhatia. 

Never heard of the movie? It's ok, go search for it. You'll like it.

Zainal's songs are full of inspirations and lessons.

The lyrics are beautifully written with environment, humanitarian, love and social messages. 

Its music is soothing and worldly.

I LOVE WORLD MUSIC!

You may heard of his well-known song, Hijau.

Ok let's sing together.

I can sing too. =p

Hey! eeeeeeeeewaaaaaaaaaaaa. auuuuuuuuu auuuuuuuuu. yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ya! hei! hak! hok!

Lyrics below:

Alam hanya sementara

buana biru belentara

salah orang nampak ketara

kalah kita tak bersuara

Laut biru bertukar warna

rumpai karang tidak bernyawa

udang berarak tidak bermaya

imbangan alam dah tiada

c/o:

Tidak terkata rasa sayangnya

bumi dipijak rasa bahangnya

tidak terkata, tidak terkata

kalau boleh bersama kita pelihara

dunia bahagia hidup baru selesa

lambat ia binasa hidup lebih lama

hidup lebih lama.. yeyaa..

Dulu ikan senang dijala

penyu singgah berduyun-duyun

kini sudah menjadi bencana

usah dibawa turun temurun

Apa ada harus dijaga

hasil bumi berkurang pula

senang kita senang sekarang

esok lusa padah bermula

c/o:

Tidak terkata rasa sayangnya

bumi dipijak rasa bahangnya

tidak terkata, tidak terkata

kalau boleh bersama kita pelihara

dunia bahagia hidup baru selesa

lambat ia binasa hidup lebih lama

hidup lebih lama.. yeyaa.. lalalala hey..

Lightning from Kampar

Hohohoh! I feel so gay right now. Why so?? It’s because that for the first time I successfully managed to take pictures of lightning.

The cool thing was I didn’t use tripod because I didn’t expect there’ll be lightning. I stopped my bike by the roadside and I placed my camera on my bike.

Earlier, it was raining heavily in Kampar. The downpour lasted for about an hour. The place I stay, Westlake flooded a little bit.

After the rain stopped the lightning striked non-stop. The lightning damn awesome I tell you. I stood in front of the huge field enjoying the magnificent incredible electrifying lighting.

It was like watching a live National Geography documentary. I’ve never seen such a beautiful lightning before. Too bad my camera is not that super pro. I only managed to capture a few photographs.

Sunrise @ Kota Damansara

Date: 8/8/2011

Time: 7.07am

Venue: Behind One World Hotel, Kota Damansara

I never expect that sunrise in a city can be that captivating.

Sunset @ Penang

7.47am 4/8/2011

Everything from Penang is always better than anywhere else. I have to agree on this. I've never seen nice sunset in KL yet. The funny thing is i seldom see sunset because of the haze and the highrise buildings in KL.

How nice to sit and spend my evening at Padang Kota Lama watching the sun to set.

So calm and serene..

Sunray from Hutan Lipur Lata Meraung

Date: 17/7/2011 (Sunday)

Time: 1.07pm

Venue: Hutan Lipur Lata Meraung, Jerantut, Pahang

flash flood in Kampar

April 29 - Kampar is flooded again today for the second time in my 3 years of studies in UTAR Kampar. The first flood happened on April 10 but it's not as worse as today's flood.

The super heavy downpour started after 5pm and lasted for more than 1 hour with deafening thunders and discolight lightning. The scenario was like a war scene in Iraq. wooo scary right?!

Westlake Homes for UTAR students accomodation went blackout at 5.45pm and resumed only when the rain stopped at 7pm.

i wanted to go out to snap some shots but the rain was just too heavy. The water level rose so fast and the water poured into my house.

1 hour of heavy rain with loud thunders and disco lightning caused Kampar to be flooded. Places like Westlake, Harvard, New Town, Taman Tasik Selatan, and Taman Kampar Perdana are seriously affected. Some places were black out. More photos? Ask from UTAR students. =p
Places like Harvard, New Town, Taman Tasik Selatan, and Taman Kampar Perdana are seriously affected too. Now the biggest victims are the students where their vehicles could not start and their rooms are leaked thanks to the good construction by the profit-maker. The worst thing is UTAR students are having their finals now.

Not to forget, the shoplots in New Town also flooded. They are gona have bad time to clean the mess.

By the way, i'm really 'impressed' with Kampar. Satu kali hujan, satu Kampar tenggelam. walaueh.. the rain here so keng lo. In Penang, kalau hujan hor, at least oni few parts banjir. haha.

Kampar hujan lagi

Hujan turun lagi

Wah lebat so scary

But sejuk-sejuk syiok sekali

Everyone run back like crazy

Buat orang basah sampai bawah kaki

Tak boleh keluar kena makan magee

Some people already feel sleepy

Sleep la sampai esok pagi

I think many people tonite will be busy

It’s ok to stay awake we drink kopi

If wana last longer use cap Kapal Api

But remember NO Tongkat Ali

Marilah kita menyanyi tak henti

Cepatlah daftar baru boleh undi

Because General Election sudah mau mali

If you behsyiok don’t come to me

You go makan tahi

I wana go snap pics sana sini

I will see you lagi
