The Letter
Posted in AROUND THE BLOG, CITIZEN'S COLUMN, LIFE, MALAYSIA, MUSIC, NEWS, SMILE, VIDEO on August 20th, 2009This was one of my favourite song in my “hippy” days. Used to sing this song with my band and even won a talentine show singing this song. But today there is s new twist to the song. Yes, 2009 version of The Letter.
2009 Version of THE LETTER
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain’t got time to take a fast train.
Happy days are gone, I’m leaving home,
‘Cause somebody just a-wrote in a letter.
I don’t care how much money I gotta spend,
Got to get out of this country
Happy days are gone, I’m leaving home,
‘Cause somebody just a-wrote in a letter.
* Well, he wrote in the letter
Said he knew of corruption and conspiracy
Finger prints are wiped, DNA exchanged
To close proximity, habislah!
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain’t got time to take a fast train.
Happy days are gone, I’m leaving home,
‘Cause somebody just a-wrote in a letter.
A Song I Wrote…, 5 Years ago!
Posted in CITIZEN'S COLUMN, LARYNGECTOMY, LIFE, MUSIC, PICTURE TALK, SMILE, VIDEO on August 5th, 2009It took me 5 long years and now I finally done it - upload this song that I have written on You Tube and share it to the world.
I have written about 15 songs and this is one of them which I have done as a home recording project. I wanted to do a album but then, in 2005 I was diagnosed with throat cancer. To be precise it’s cancer of the larynx (voice box). In 2007, I had a surgery to remove my larynx and since then I am unable to talk again let alone to sing.
This song was recorded at home on a ZOOM Mini Recording Studio (MRS) which I bought for about RM1300. Everything you see and hear on this video is done by me, from writing the song, singing, doing the music, mixing, video editing, etc, except for the help of a good friend, Su Mei who did the harmony. The song was recorded at the time when I was going through a 32 courses of radiation (radiotherapy). I still was able to do a bit of singing then, so I quickly recorded this song and few others, knowing that soon I will have to lose my voice completely for good.
And just a month ago I picked up some basic video editing. Took out some of my old video clips and started editing to produce this video.
Now you know why it took me 5 long years to do this video.
If you have been a regular visitor to my blog, I guess you may not know that I do sing, at one point of my life. Even while writing this article, a tiny teardrop rolled down my cheek. Yes, I once could talk, shout and sing but now I can only listen to my own voice.
If you enjoy this song, and do wish to use it in anyway, please do contact me. Thanks.
The Manek Urai (MU) Song
Posted in AROUND THE BLOG, CITIZEN'S COLUMN, LIFE, MALAYSIA, MUSIC, PICTURE TALK, SMILE, VIDEO on July 4th, 2009I’m a fan of Manchester United. And I’m also a fan of freedom, justice and truth.
Here is a the famous Man United song which I’ve re-written for Man Urai (Manek Urai) - as the Greens go marching up, up up!
So sing along even if you are not a Man United fan, but you can be a fan of Change! Of a New Malaysia!

The Manek Urai Song
Glory glory Man Urai,
Glory glory Man Urai,
Glory glory Man Urai,
As the Greens go marching up, up, up!
Just like the 12th GE and days gone by,
We’ll keep the Green flags flying high,
You’re gonna see us all from far and wide,
You’re gonna hear the rakyat sing with pride.
Urai, Man Urai,
We’re the boys in Green and we’re on our way to Whack the Blues!
Whack the Blues, Whack the Blues
We’re the fav’rite in Man Urai we’re going to Whack the Blues,
Whack the Blues, Whack the Blues
We’re the fav’rite in Man Urai and we’re going to Whack the Blues
In two thousand eight in the PR team,
Back in seventh April of zero nine,
And everyone will know just who we are,
They’ll be singing que sera sera
Urai, Man Urai
We’re the boys in Green and we’re on our way to Whack the Blues!
Whack the Blues, Whack the Blues,
We’re the fav’rite in Man Urai and we’re going to Whack the Blues,
Whack the Blues, Whack the Blues,
We’re the fav’rite in Man Urai and we’re going to Whack the Blues
Glory glory Man Urai,
Glory glory Man Urai,
Glory glory Man Urai,
As the Greens go marching up, up, up!

Black Is Black, I Want My Coffee Black!
Posted in ABOLISH ISA CAMPAIGN, AROUND THE BLOG, CITIZEN'S COLUMN, LIFE, MALAYSIA, MUSIC, PICTURE TALK, VIDEO on June 15th, 2009Lately everybody is talking about wearing Black and Kopi-O session. Why not a song of the Sixties to go with it.
My adaption of “Black Is Black”
Black is black
I want my coffee black
It’s gray, it’s gray
Freedom’s fading away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
‘Drink more O’ O’ O’ O’… Kopi –O brew
If I had my way
Abolish ISA today
But Jib don’t intend
To give it away Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
‘Drink more, O’ O’ O’ O’… Kopi-O brew
We can choose
Democracy or lose
Our rights for a song
Wow! Maybe if we
Vote back Reformasi
Then we’ll be strong
Bad is bad
I know you feel so sad
It’s time, it’s time
That we found peace of mind, Ooh-Ooh
What can we do
‘Drink more, O’ O’ O’ O’… Kopi-O brew
We can choose
Democracy or lose
Our rights for a song
Wow! Maybe if we
Vote back Reformasi
Then we’ll be strong
Black is black
I want my coffee black
It’s gray, it’s gray
Freedom’s fading away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
‘Drink more O’ O’ O’ O’ … kopi –O brew
‘Drink more O’ O’ O’ O’… kopi –O brew
Touch My Body or Tuts My Burreh!
Posted in CITIZEN'S COLUMN, LIFE, MUSIC, PICTURE TALK, SMILE, SUNDAY SPECIAL, VIDEO on June 14th, 2009Here is something for you, If you can’t understand what he is singing, check with the original lyrics below. Please be kind, he is a Korean trying his best to be like Mariah. Enjoy! Tuts my burREH!
“Touch My Body”
MC, in the place to be
I know that you been waitin’ for it, I’m waitin’ too
In my imagination I be all up on you
I know you got that fever for me hundred and two
And boy I know I feel the same my temperature’s through the roof
If it’s a camera up in here
Then it’s gonna leave with me when I do, I do
If it’s a camera up in here
Then I best not catch this flick on YouTube, YouTube
‘Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
‘Cause they be all up in my business like a Wendy interview
But this is private, between you and I
Touch my body, put me on the floor
Wrestle me around, play with me some more
Touch my body, throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body, let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist, just a little taste
Touch my body, know you like my curves
C’mon and give me what I deserve and touch my body
Boy you can put me on you like a brand new white tee
I’ll hug your body tighter than a pair of your jeans
I want you to caress me like a tropical breeze
And float away with you in a Caribbean sea
If it’s a camera up in here
Then it’s gonna leave with me when I do, I do
If it’s a camera up in here
Then I best not catch this flick on YouTube, YouTube
‘Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
‘Cause they be all up in my business like a Wendy interview
But this is private, between you and I
Touch my body, put me on the floor
Wrestle me around, play with me some more
Touch my body, throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body, let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist, just a little taste
Touch my body, know you like my curves
C’mon and give me what I deserve and touch my body
I’ma treat you like a teddy bear, you won’t wanna go nowhere
In the lap of luxury, laying intertwined with me
You won’t want for nothing boy
I will give you plenty of joy
Touch my body, put me on the floor
Wrestle me around, play with me some more
Touch my body, throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body, let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist, just a little taste
Touch my body, know you like my curves
C’mon and give me what I deserve and touch my body
Touch my body
Touch my body
Touch my body
Touch my body
Touch my body
Song Of the Day- Paint It Black
Posted in CITIZEN'S COLUMN, LIFE, MALAYSIA, MUSIC, VIDEO on May 7th, 2009
Democracy has been painted black. A nation in mourning. A black day for Malaysia!
Paint It Black
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facin’ up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin’ sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin’ comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,…
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
