ME AGAINST THE MUSIC

no - i'm not a fan of britney spears (or madonna for that matter .. plu 'murtad'.. hehehe). it's just that a few nights ago, i decided to go face the music (literally). after days of intentional delay, i decided to go one-on-one with the lagu raya i dowloaded from the net. here is the review of the match:

ROUND ONE (TING! TING! TING! TING!)

contender: Sudirman - Dari Jauh Kupohon Maaf.mp3
size: 3,620,864 bytes
duration: 0:03:46

dengar intro pun dah start sebak dah. by the second verse, i had to take off my glasses and wipe my tears (alamak pecah lubang). and tears kept rolling down my cheeks. EVERY SINGLE LINE of the song stabbed me in the heart (well maybe except for the "terbayang suasana permai desa" part. my house back home faces a golf course. and i don't have a kampung. both my parents were born in ip*h. so feeling kurang sket la part tu). and it was worsened by the fact that it was sudirman who sang the song (it was sad how his life ended). at the end of the song, hingus dah meleleh2 dah (hahaha..gross eh?).

verdict: lagu raya- 1, aiskrem potong- 0


ROUND TWO (TING! TING! TING ! TING!)

contender: Aishah - Pulanglah.mp3

aishah has a very soulful voice. it would've been easy to surrender to this song. but since the words of the song is really the OPPOSITE of what i'm experiencing right now. my emotions were left unscathed. and i have the images of the cheesy (and low-quality) music video (where she sings by the window of a kampung house and in the end her husband / scandal arrives home with a gleeful smile) the whole time. that definitely helped. tak sedih pun. VICTORY!

verdict: lagu raya- 1 aiskrem potong- 1


FINAL ROUND (TING! TING! TING! TING!)

contender: Raihan,_Nowseeheart,_Rem_Ajai_-_Lebaran_Ini.mp3
size: 3,739,648 bytes
duration: 0:04:26

a very nice and soothing sound. it started emotional enough. but i was able to distract myself by fixating the image of that extremely cute rem in my head (taste taste! hehehe). and plus, i suddenly remembered that this is a very vocally challenging song (it requires u to sing half of the chorus in one breath). feeling of to the challenge, i sang along. nice song... actaully leaves you with fuzzy feeling. so nope, i did not concede defeat :)

final verdict: lagu raya- 1, aiskrem potong-2

WINNER : aiskrem potong (yay!)

actually, i have another lagu raya that i have downloaded. the one from mamat. tak berani go up againt that song. gerenti kalah punya. dengar kat malaysia pun boleh meleleh air mata ... apa lagi kat sini :P
