Gelora Jiwa - Our Latest Song

It is time for us to share our original song yet again. It's been a long wait i know, but then again, who's been waiting? This song was written by Izzy and the lyrics was written by John. As usual. This song is special because its our tribute to M, our lead vocalist, who will be leaving the band in search for a meaning in life.

Actually, he is in a difficult time in his life where he cannot possibly commit 100% for the band. So M, this is for you.

Above is the audio only version, and below is the official video clip of the song.Please watch/listen to the above video first before viewing the one below, coz trust me, we won't be able to concentrate on the song once you've seen the visual content of the clip.

Well then, enjoy and dont for get to leave a feedback or two. Make it one if u're thinking of giving a negative one. Kidding..

Graduation 06

At last, the time finally came, for our graduation. 3 of us; housemates, bandmates and classmates, it all seemed to happen too soon. We are happy of course. But more than that, we are satisfied. For we know, the past 4 years have been worth while. No. Not just for the scroll. But for the things we've learnt in life, the friendship we built, the things we did together, and of course for Nevermind The Hazatsu.....

And nevermind the congregation itself, which is nothing more than a cliche nowadays.

Symbolic. Period.

Bearing that famous flat square hat on our heads, huddling up together for that lengthy photo session, each of us knew straight away - "this is it". The end of an era is near. At that moment, how we wished that we are back at the time when we started life as a student. When it all felt like a saga; never ending and dreadful. Owh how we detested that period of our lives, and yet it was the happiest and most memorable time of all.

Congratulations to:

Errmm,... let's just say i managed to graduate

ok?

So where are we going after this? what are we gonna do? Jonno, bonded with Petronas and will be working on an oil rig somewhere in Uganda. Wynn, employed by Petronas, but not bonded. Will be heading to Kerteh, Terengganu, working on a new natural gas plant.

Me? well, to be honest, i dont even know what the future holds for me. Am i still searching? Not quite. But one thing for sure, i will always keep Nevermind The Hazatsu alive.

Millions of thanks for those who were there to support us 3 during our congregation day: Our parents, the Wilkos, and the rest who came all the way down to Octagon Centre, Sheffield for that important day. It wouldn't have been special without you guys. Below is a video clip of the day. Enjoy.

Where have you been Izzy?

Where have i been? Nobody have actually asked me that question to be honest. But i guess i owe it to myself to come up with a good explaination to my whereabout for the past...... errrmm,. let's see, i think for the past one and a half month? I am not sure, but it seems like it has been almost 2 months.

So much for my promise to keep this blog running with regular updates and all. Earlier this summer i thought i would have all the time that i need to sit and blog everyday, or atleast every week. Well, i was wrong. But not entirely. I had the time, but at the same time i never actually had the time. Errm,. doesn't make sense ay?

You see, it's summer. One have all the time in his life during summer (not those who are working though) to do all the things that one had ever dreamed of. With all the sunshine and nice weather, it's a waste to actually spend the time sitting in my room staring at the monitor typing something that nobody else but myself ever read.

Thus the answer to the very first question. I was out there. Pursuing my dream,...not. Actually I was busy golfing around in some of the most fantastic weather i ever witnessed for the past 4 years. A bit too hot for my liking though, but it was great none the less.

Went to Ireland, Scotland and the Midlands on my very first golf tour around the UK. I am so tanned due to the excessive exposure to sunlight. But i didn't care. I had the time of my life. Had never enjoyed summer this much. The golf courses here are fantastic. I've been to it all: meadowland, woodland, highland, links. All the types of courses that you can find in the EA Sports Tiger Woods video game. And of course, i went to St Andrews! Beautiful.

By last week, it started raining on and off almost everyday. The weather is unpredictable again. Looks like summer is ending. Well that explains why i am here sitting in my room, staring at the monitor and typing this post on my blog.......
