Call of Duty

MatRock will not be in cyberworld from 16th to 21st April 2006. So take care people :)
Salam...

Mat Rock kena call of duty biase anak watan Singapura :)

Move it or go around it?

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

The peasant learned what many of us never understand -

"Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition. We should boldly face it and not just walk around it."

Cerita ini mudah untuk difahami kerana bila kita susah kita akan berusaha lebih untuk mencapai kejayaan atau impian, tidak kira lah kalau perlu kerja siang hingga ke malam, tidak kira kalau perlu kerja dihujung minggu asalkan kita dapat memcapai kesenangan yang diinginkan. Ini berkaitan dengan cerita atas tu. Yang bawah ni semua cerita tambahan dari aku hehe :)

Kalau ada yang susah dan ingin menjadi susah juga menyusahkan diri tu aku sendiri tak tau apa yang mereka fikirkan melainkan mereka dah tidak ada daya fikiran untuk menjalani kehidupan dengan senang.

Namun jangan bila pula kita sudah senang ada kemewahan kita lupa semasa susah dan berhenti berusaha jadi pemalah, penyakit M namanya tu. Cuba lah untuk mengelakkan diri dari sikap begini sebab kalau kita dah senang kita tolong pula orang yang susah supaya mereka juga senang, sebab orang yang senang mempunyai upaya membantu orang yang susah.

Jangan jadi pemalas kalau dah senang! Kalau dah senang tolong orang sekali!

Mat Rock wishes happy birthday to all April babies epecially to Hakim (my bro) and Akhmar (a new friend)

Be Giving To Others

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year-old
boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a
glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he
asked. "50¢," replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the
coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now
more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing
impatient. "35¢!" she annoyingly replied.

The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice
cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on
the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the
cashier and left.

When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the
table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were 15¢. You see,
he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to
leave her a tip.

Bila memberi jangan mengharapkan balasan kerana memberi dengan ikhlas balasannya tidak terkira.

Mat Rock harap kita semua dapat belajar sesuatu dalam kisah ini...

Wear a SMILE!

My Dear Friends,

Research has shown that smiles can be heard. When a person who is
speaking on the phone is smiling, the person listening can actually
sense it. Believe it or not? Even in SMS we can sense a smile! (Sebab banyak kali nampak orang baca SMS tersenyum sendiri dalam MRT, dalam bus, tepi jalan, mana-mana pun boleh wahaha!)

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only
sunshine he sees all day... Author Unknown

It takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown "It takes
seventeen muscles to smile and forty-three to frown."... Author
Unknown

People are attracted to those who smile. When was the last time you
wanted to meet a person who was frowning? "Wear a smile and have
friends; wear a scowl and have wrinkles. What do we live for if not
to make the world less difficult for each other... George Eliot

Smile and your eyes lighten up. Frown and your eyes darken. "Of all
the things you wear, your expression is the most important... Janet
Lane

The cost of a smile is zero. "A smile is an inexpensive way to
change your looks... Charles Gordy

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight... Phyllis Diller

Senyum selalu orang kata gila, kalau tak tau senyum lagi gila!... MatRock

Terima kasih dan SENYUM SELALU :)

Mat Rock smiles to all who read his blog :)

World of Voices

Lama juga aku tak update blog bukan malas cuma sibuk day in day out buat pekerjaan yang rasanya tak terlintas aku akan alami iaitu the world of voice dubbing hehe. Sebab selalunya bila aku tengok rancangan kartun atau rancangan documentari yang di voice over ke Melayu aku ketawa sebab lucu dengan suara-suara mereka, sekarang aku pula yang kena buat voice over! Padan muka!

Apapun ia satu pengalaman yang tidak akan aku lepaskan sebab aku suka belajar benda baru, contohnya macam mana nak record suara guna Final Cut Pro, apa yang harus aku perhatikan sebelum bermulanya rakaman seperti mixer, mic dan sebagainya. Kirakan hands on learning lah ni sebab kalau nak belajar kat luar kena bayar ni belajar percuma dibayar lagi hehe siapa tak nak betul tak?

Jadi rancangan yang aku terlibat sama lebih tepat lagi QRIOS terlibat ialah, rancangan kanank-kanak iaitu Bawa Berus Gigi (Bring Your Toothbrush) dan Kerja Untuk Si Kecil (Jobs For Juniors). Nasib baik QRIOS sudah mempunyai members yang boleh menjadi voice talents kalau tidak aku lah jadi suara adik-adik kecil tu issshhhh naya punya kerja!

Itulah update yang aku nak tulis buat masa ni, jadi buat yang tertanya-tanya tu macam Jannah hehe Abang sibuk buat kerja ni yang lain tu, kalau tengah cuti sekolah! Enjoys! Ada cuti 1 minggu ada cuti sampai 5 minggu! Gunakan masa dengan baik oraits!

Mat Rock baru baik demam sebab ngadap editing suite lama sangat hehe. Orang baru lah katakan belum biasa :)

Singapore ASEAN Champion!

Photo from The Straits Times

Asean Football Championship (AFC)
Singapore 1 Thailand 1 (2nd Leg Final)
Singapore won 3-2 on aggregate

Wish I was in Bangkok but due to financial and time factor, I guess staying home with my family to watch the game LIVE on TV in the comfort of my home is the next best option.

Ole Ole Ole! We Are The CHAMPIONS!

Incredibly, Singapore won the AFC! When Khairul Amri smashed a swerving shot into the top corner of the net, I could hear the whole neighbourhood shoting GOAL! I think the whole of Singapore must be watching this match last night hehe. It was pure determination by the Lions to crawl back after falling behind.

I had been following this tournament very closely and when the whistle was blown for the kick off, I was very relaxed, even when Sharil's goal was disallowed I was not worried that was how confident I am of this Singapore Team. As expected the Thais would be on an all out attack and after sometime, they scored, still I was relaxed, in my heart I know that the Lions can score in this game because I have seen how the did it lots of time.

In the second half with my chilled green tea in my hand thanks to POKKA (haha! promo nampak) I sat down to watch how the Lions calmly yet surely hold their ground like knowing they will surely get a goal in this final match. Business as usual, the fast Khairul dribbled the ball from the third quater nearing the box, no pressure from the defenders (this time I was feeling something special is going to happen), right after he entered the penalty box, Khairul gave a full swing with his legs and the ball just flew into the net, the Thai keeper just stood there with his hand on his head in disbelief (by this time, the neighboorhood was crazy with people shouting GOAL! outside of their windows like me haha!) Singapore came back and the host were silenced. From then I knew the CUP was ours! AGAIN! Wahaha!

Mohd Noh Defensive Save & Khairul Amri's Smashing GOAL!
This morning, I did something I did as a ritual since the AFC started, go to 7-11 and get the newspapers before it's sold out. Read all the articles and I'm damn proud to be a Singaporean and doubly damn proud of the LIONS! Only football is the game of the people. Other sports are just... sports. I hope, the S-League will also bring the crowds in because we must not forget that this cup winning LIONS, they are from the S-League! Which means that the S-League is one of the best league in the region, why don't you just drop by to your nearest stadium and find out which local team is representing your neighbourhood and give them your support!

As for me, it's back to Choa Chu Kang stadium! The home of the Warriors! SAFFC that is, what's your?

Mat Rock congrats the Singapore LIONS for winning the Cup! Now go beyond ASEAN! All the best!

Singapura menang Malaysia!

Singapura 6 Malaysia 5 (lepas penalty kick!)

Aku ada confession nak buat hehe, aku ikut perkembangan Singapore dalam pertandingan ASEAN FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP (dulu nama Tiger Cup). Aku cuma miss 1 game je iaitu Singapore lawan Vietnam lepas tu aku tak miss 1 game pun bila lawan kat National Stadium, Alhamdulillah.

Sabtu lalu terkenang aku kembali waktu Malaysia Cup. Stadium penuh dengan penyokong! Duduk takde space kosong pun malam tu, semua sama-sama datang nak beri sokongan pada Singapore. Ramai datang berbaju merah termasuk lah aku sekali hehe. Sabtu lalu, ada Kallang Wave (lagi gerek dari National Day), ada sorakkan OLE OLE OLE, ada hentakkan kaki (nasib tak romboh National Stadium), ada jeritan Refree Kayu!, ada jeritan BUT** gak wahaha! (yang ni memang tak boleh elak). Nasib ler sesiapa bawa anak-anak kecil tengok bola terpaksa endure haha. Apapun ia satu kenangan yang lagi manis sebab Singapore menang!

Malaysian supporter yang datang pun tak boleh buat apa-apa sebab totally outnumbered lah kirakan, apa-apa sorakkan semua tenggelam. Masa di Shah Alam tiket diturunkan harga tak boleh penuh, 30 000 je datang, Kallang tak payah turun kan harga penuh sampai 55 000 orang hehe. Aku dapat tau FAS naikkan harga galleri $7 ($1 tambah je) alaaa aku tak kisah pun, sebab FINALS brader mahal sket no problem confirm datang juga! Penuh tak penuh tu terpulang pada korang yang baca, kalau setakat baca je tak boleh rasa suasananya, kena datang tengok sendiri dan alaminya haha.

So apa kata, korang datang hari rabu ni tengok Singapore lawan Thailand, confirm best punya match walapun Thailand tu favourite team tapi aku percaya Singapore boleh bagi sebiji dua kat dorang ni. Jangan tunggu last minute nanti macam Sabtu lalu, tiket sold out gigit jari je kat luar hehe.

Oh ya, aku ada petik gambar sket ngan video sekali masa Sabtu lalu kasi korang lagi bingit sebab tak pegi tengok wahaha. Kalau ada yang nak tengok ngan aku silakan SMS atau DIRECT CALL ok hehe boleh kita sorak sama-sama!




Nyanyi Majulah Singapura!

Mat Rock rasa happy-happy, yang tak tengok kat stadium sabtu lalu, datang lah rabu ni!

1st entry in December

Ini entry aku yang pertama untuk bulan December, sebenarnya banyak yang berlaku dalam bulan ini cuma masa takde untuk aku catitkan dalam blog ni. Hmmm... Ramai kawan2 aku yang kahwin pada hujung minggu. Baru saje lepas Ahad lalu ialah Norafidah @ Fidah. 1 antara 3 gadis dalam workheART. Aku dan abg wan diminta untuk handle soundsystem untuk majlis ini selama dua hari.

Hari Sabtu was a dinner event, adalah kirakan programme line up yang perlu dijaga, apa lagu nak dimainkan dan sebagainya. Imran juga turut menyumbangkan 2 lagu pada malam itu. Sebenarnya ini kali pertama aku jaga sound untuk majlis perkahwinan haha. Namun ini bukan pertama kali aku menggunakan sound console yang ada di situ. Aku hanya perlu refresher course dari abg wan dan Alhamdulillah aku dapat handle console tersebut cuma bila part live singing je baru abg wan take over sebab dia nak equalize suara penyanyi yang terlibat. Untuk ini aku perlu pelajari lebih teliti lah nampaknya haha.

Apapun bila Ahad bermula, aku terjumpa salah seorang kawan di Friendster iaitu Aisyah. Jadi kendarat rupanya hari tu haha. Tak sempat nak bertegur sape sebab aku di console dan dia di bahagian dekat dengan dapur. Kerja kami berdua pada Ahad itu ialah putarkan lagu-lagu yang telah dipilih oleh Raudha (semua lagu faveret dia je!), tiba-tiba Mak Long minta lagu lama, Cik Yasin pula tanya takde lagu-lagu lama ke? Haha jawab Odah jawab! Wahaha!

Apapun tugas hari tu agak mendak bagi aku, nasib baik tak terlelap pat console haha, apapun majlis berjalan dengan lancar Alhamdulillah. Terima kasih workheART bagi kami peluang lagi untuk menyerikan majlis haha ermmmm berseri ke? Ntah lah janji berjalan lancar cukup lah hehe.

Mat Rock dah boleh tumpu pada website-website yang tergendala selama ini, InsyaAllah...

Keys To Remember in Painful Seasons

Dear Friends,
Here are six important keys to remember in painful seasons.

1. You cannot prevent every tragedy from occurring, but you can
prevent it from destroying you emotionally.

2. Your future is too wonderful to stop. Put your energy and focus on
something in front of you, not behind you.

3. The broken often become masters at mending. When you experience
inner pain, you have an opportunity to become the golden key of
healing for somebody else who is hurting. Look around. Permit your
own tragedy to soften your heart and make you a healer to the hurting
around you.

4. Don't keep asking the wrong questions. Instead of "Why?"
ask, "What is my next step toward my dream?" When you ask the right
questions, the right answers emerge.

5. Give yourself time to heal.

6. Do not rush away from the scene of pain.

Mat Rock rasa kalau kita bersabar, memahami dan tolong satu sama lain, InsyaAllah susah nak alami keperitan kan?

Selamat Pergi... Selamat Pulang...

I got to know that I'm going to miss someone for 6 days! Dia yang menemani dan dia ditemani selama ini, waktu aku berjaga di tengah-tengah malam / buta pagi. Tapi selama 6 hari aku perlu berpuasa rasanya tanpa dia. Puasa 6 lah kirakan nampaknya! Mudah-mudahan bila disana adalah caranya untuk berkomunikasi. Tapi kalau takde aku dah ready dah nak kena puasa ni!

Aku cuma boleh doakan selamat pergi dan selamat pulang kepada dia dan keluarganya. InsyaAllah ada rezeki panjang umur, kita jumpa lagi di alam siber ya! :)

Pergi ke seberang untuk bercuti...
Cutinya lama sampai enam hari...
Kalau ada jodoh dan rezeki...
Jauh disana pun boleh chat lagi!

Mat Rock tunggu dia balik untuk buka... wahaha!

Selamat Pengantin Baru

Segak perkasa seri pahlawan...
Bertanjak lima dari seberang...
Bukan pertama jadi hantaran...
Budi bahasa tutur cara jadi ukuran...

Lemah gemalai tari perawan...
Senyum melirik menambat hati...
Bukan mahligai jadi renungan...
Lembut bicara tutur kata jadi rebutan...

Mat Rock happy tengok kawan-kawan naik pelamin hehe... aku... belum lagi haha!

Kisah semalam...

Sesuatu telah retak semalam.
Mat Rock minta maaf.

Takde Rahsia Lagi!!!

Siti kawin Datuk KKK!!!
Oh inilah di namakan sebuah fairytale gone wrong!
Segala harapan semua terbang melayang,
yang tinggal kini hanya kenangan...

Kenapa semua ini harus terjadi?
Di hari Isnin ini?
Inilah suratan takdir,
Hanya doa agar berkekalan dan gembira disamping Datuk KKK itu.

Adakah akan sama selepas ini?
Semestinya tidak lagi sebab selama ini Siti Situ Sana Sini
Sekarang dah jadi Siti Situ Tak Kesana Tak Kesini hehe.

Yang penting hidup diteruskan (macam orang meninggal pula ek)
Datuk K dah dapat Siti...
Bujang sana sini semua dah boleh lah mula cari pasangan lain ye.
Tak usah sibuk mengejar Siti lagi hehe.

Mat Rock nak datang tengok ke tak ek?

Adapting to changes...

Dear Friends,

We've all been sold a bill of goods. We've been taught that someday,
when all the right things happen, we'll finally be happy. When we
find the ideal mate...when we earn enough money...when our body is
perfect...when we have children...when we finally retire.

The truth is, what you get will not make you feel good, but learning
how to change your state of mind in an instant will. After all, why
do you want any of these things? Isn't it because you believe the
ideal mate, children, money, etc., will make you feel better? But
when we finally have those things we're pursuing, who'll make us feel
good? We do it to our selves. Happiness comes from within...

Mat Rock harap korang semua dapat terima perubahan yang berlaku... life is beautiful...

Kisah tiap malam...

Lagu: Rindu Bayangan
Artist: Carefree

Berputar-putar membelitkan kata-kata
Hanya linangan air mata yang menitis
Pada bayangan di angin lalu
Membisikkan kata rindu bayangan

Revised edition
Berputar-putar cable telefon yang panjang
Membelit leher dan tangan ku tiap malam
Pada abang ku aku pun merayu
Membisikkan pertolongan darinya

Mat Rock nasihatkan kalau cable telefon korang panjang, jangan main belit-belit, apa kata upgrade ke wireless sudah hehe

Kelembutan untuk wanita...

Harus lah korang mat rockers di luar sana ketahui bahawa kemlembutan itu amat penting bila dalam sebuah perbincangan dengan seorang wanita. Kenapa ia harus diberi kelembutan?

Teori yang ingin aku berikan ini cukup mudah untuk difahami kerana aku selalu menggunakan kelembutan pada wanita, dengan itu perhubungan yang terjalin amat bermakna dan berkekalan.

Cuba aku beri satu senario yang ringkas untuk renungan, bayangkan lah satu hari kau sedang duduk berbual dengan seorang wanita, kau ingin sekali mendapatkan sebuah maklumat darinya, adakah kau akan dapat maklumat itu dengan cara paksa, cara berkasar atau cara lembut?

Perbualan harus lah dilakukan dengan nada suara yang rendah, jawapan perlukan dijawab dengan beralas bukan main hembus sesuka hati korang je. Intonansi suara juga perlulah berlagu bukan lagu rock tapi kalau boleh lagu sentimental bukan sentimentel yer :) Jika di amalkan ini, InsyaAllah dapat lah maklumat yang diperlukan itu.

Seperti yang aku alami baru-baru ini, maklumat yang mungkin orang sekaum pun tak tahu aku dapat tahu sebab kelembutan itu adalah khas untuk kaum wanita.

Kalau kita berlembut, pastinya dibalas dengan kelembutan (Ingat! Untuk wanita khasnya.)

So braders... pandai-pandai lah berlembut depan wanita. Bertenang jangan nak tekan minyak je sebab wanita pun dorang boleh tekan minyak juga bukan robot yek :)

Mat Rock tahu maklumat yang berguna semalam hehe :) Thanks!
