Rich, you rock!! (AJL 2008 winner)

I am not a singer, nor do I think I can sing. But I do follow music industry fairly well, simply becasue I enjoy music... that's about all.

I am also a fan of Anugerah Juara Lagu... and just finished watching the final Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL) 2008 - Rich, an ex-student of Academi Fantasia 4 (a reality program by ASTRO), first time coming to AJL, and he WONNNNNN!!

Not that I am very much fanatic of music, but I am talking about development. In any field, we have to pay attention and invest in development. These kids from Entranged are new in the show business, but very daring to come up with new evolution in music. This is part of the future of music in Malaysia.

As for me, I think Akademi Fantasia does proves its theory of "developing the future of music in Malaysia".... tonight, this vas verified by Mawi (best showmanship), Sahri (winner for Balada category, eventhough he was singing the song "izinkan ku pergi" by Kaer - who was "labeled" as no-vocal-quality before, but I think made a great comeback with his first album) and of course Rich (winner for pop-rock category and also overall winner).

TV3 is doing a good job, of continuing the AJL years after years... well done TV3 and keep up the good work! Cheryl, Ally, Faizal & Fafau - I always adore you guys!

Pros & Cons of Driving - A wife cum working mother insight

DRIVING - something that can be a profession to some, taboo to others and dangerous hobby to many. What ever driving is to you, let me share my insight of the pros and cons of driving to me.....

Driving is a must when........

1. someone is sick, especially the loved ones (to go to hospital, to visit them etc)

2. hubby is not home and the gas is out!

3. we run out of supply at home (from rice right to diapers)!

4. to fetch someone (can be sister from university, or hubby at work, or friend at the bus stop, or mum at the airport) in need of transportation

5. attending to work obligation (like travel away from base, attending meetings etc)



Driving is not a skill you wish to have when........

1. "Oh, I don't know the way. You've been there, why don't you drive?".... this can typically come from friends, family, even hubby!

2. " You can go by yourself right?".... you know who always say this!

3. "Mom, can we get this ....., please? Please?".... the "sweet & driving me mad" angels


4. "I got something on. Can you replace me?".. from a superior most of the time

But what I like about driving is - it gives me the priviledge to be flexible with time and creates opportunity for me to excel in life and contributes to family & friends, work and the society.

So think about it - Do you want to DRIVE??
