Haven't been updating for quite some time. Yeah, I know I started my almost every post with that sentence or something similar. Heheh. Ape nak buat. I'm a lazy bum and I admit it.

The only reason I am writing this right now is because I'm sooo sleepy sampai tengah menulis deraf surat boleh terpejam mata. That is weird sebab pagi tadi aku tak mengantuk langsung. Terjadi mengantuk lepas brunch tadi. I think the makcik mi kicap terbubuh banyak ajinomoto lah dalam sup dia hari ni. So, I'm hoping by writing this, mata boleh kembali segar dan boleh sambung kerja.

You know, I have been meaning to talk about Maher Zain for quite some time now after seeing all the hype and news about him everywhere. Even in the office hari-hari berkumandang lagu Maher Zain. So, let me tell you the story of Maher and I (ewah ewah macam kisah cinta pulak).

I got to know Maher I think when he was not yet a name in Malaysia, somewhere around March this year. Maybe he was known to some people back then but not really a household name yet. My sister (I'm not sure from where she heard about him) was the one who introduced me to Maher Zain. An avid listener, she downloaded most of his song and she had been pestering me to have a listen! Masa tu aku rasa "ee.. pengacau betul la dia nih". Haha. So, one day after dia membebel-bebel lagi, I finally listened to him. Masa tu aku tengah surfing Internet pinjam her laptop and I asked my sister to play him in the background.

My first thought was "Not bad". I was never really a heavy fan of nasyid. Dengar tapi gitu-gitu jela. But as you all probably already know by now, Maher's nasyid is different. There is a little something there. So, I asked my sister to burn a cd for me. And, one day while I was waiting for Ashton to warm up, she slipped a cd inside the car's player without me knowing. Then, as I was just leaving, she messaged me saying "Cd Maher Zain ada dalam kereta hang". And so, I listened to Maher all along my journey to Ipoh over and over again.

Since then, cd tu tak pernah keluar lagi dari player tu and selalu jugak la terpasang. Hehe.

Among all the songs, I personally like Thank You Allah. Simply because of the simple message and how touching the song and lyrics are.

When my sister went to his showcase, she called me during Ya Nabi Salam Mualaika, For The Rest of My Life and Barakallah so that I can listen too. But too bad, he did not sang my favourite song. Hmm.. takpelah. Lain kali dia buat concert nak cuba pergi.

I wonder bila pulak Sami Yusuf akan glamour di Malaysia?
