it flew past so fast.

what a week.

to say that i had a great week is an understatement!

i have a notion that i'll be enjoying the future weeks!
wakakaka~ so enthused about Rio.
oh, Rio is the name of the car that me and Jezzabelle share.

well, i was pondering abt the name tt i was gonna give it, and since Jezzabelle wanted it to be a he, i adeptly named it Rio. its a Kia Rio anyway. *grins

okay.
started the week slowly, but when it came to wednesday onwards, it was a blast.
i had assignments all over the place.
dunman high, ai tong, poiching, drama centre for Nadi, Cik Som's open house, dinner at SAF Yatch Club, Johor with Ibu and kids for Raya visiting .

ooooh weeee~
i have to go to Furama Hotel later.
together with mamat, sab and shafik.
they are having this launching or sumthing.

okay. laters. rushing off for lunch with Jezzabelle at her school.
ta.~

ke arah seni halus Melayu ke Singapuraan

juara

bersatu mengukir sekeping kayu yang licin
bersatu melukis di atas kain yang putih
bersatu melihat siapa yang akan memimpin
bersatu mengupas, keadaan seni merintih

kayu jati, intinya lembap, dibuat contoh
diukir serimala corak menambat hati
hai takut pula diejek, tuan berseloroh
mendampingi budi, budaya ibu pertiwi

kain putih diberikan kepada Tuan
dilukis pula serobeh tidak ternilai
seni bertamadun, dari zaman ke zaman
hai Tuan, bilakah kemuncak seni kan sampai.?

yengki

menyatukan seni Melayu, yang kasar, halus, diambil tahu
disemaikan dari dulu, usia kecil, budaya ku

seni halus budaya kita, warga kita Singapura
disatukan, adat berbeza, diberi tema sedemikian rupa

kelantan

seni halus, kupas sikit
seni Melayu ada banyak
mari kita cuba ungkit
jangan sampai termenung capak

dikir barat dan tarian
keroncong, silat dan boria
berkeluarga dan berteman
amalan hidup orang kita

pattani

Senandungkan lagu Asli, Majulah Singapura

untuk menjadi sebuah masyarakat yang fadil,
kesinambungan budi pekerti,
mengekalkan hati untuk meneruskan jalangkah seni Melayu kita.

" Tuan, gerak geri penari itu amatlah cekang:
tersilap langkah, ragam.. bagaikan orang capik Tuan "
Inilah dia, penggiat seni yang tidak berkemampuan untuk melestarikan budaya kita!

Dengan cara kehidupan orang-orang kita pada zaman sekarang,
tidaklah pelik bila melihat orang Melayu bertaki sesama sendiri.
Bagaimanakah seni hendak maju?
seni halus Melayu?
Hai Tuan jauhari.. anak-anakmu perlukan bimbingan empunya.

Tuan, bukannya niat saya untuk berkeletah.
tetapi nadi seni ini, melejang dan ghairah.
marilah kita membangunkan semangat untuk melarutkan diri didalam seni
yok kengkawan, Majulah Singapura!

matang

ke arah ketamadunan budaya
seni Melayu dan Singapura

perwira Singapura, pencegak budaya,
anak yang soleh, rakyat yang berjaya.

kayu bercorak lawa, kain pelbagai warna,
azam kita, disebalik saujana.

penutup

wau bulan,
teraju tiga.

ke arah seni halus Melayu, ke Singapuraan,
Tuan bimbinglah, anak kita, membesarkan sukma


footnote- an unpublished piece. looking back, i still cannot believe that i wrote this. it is so unlike the other pieces that i have written for panjy, pst, kenca and nira.
to my mentor, Farihan Bin Bahron, this piece is what you asked for. but the school that this piece was supposed to be for pulled out of the competition. -kemuning iforgotwhichyear-

something underlies the message i am sending out. oh well. 2006, a new year.
lets make things right.

p.s - i have another post just before this particular one. a mundane ' what have happened all this while kinda post'.
wuahahaha..~
