Demise..Loga of Alleycats...

One of Malaysian great singer Loganathan Arumugam of the famous Allycats was called to the Lord this morning. I believe he would be remembered well by all Malaysian. Condolence to his family for the lost, not only to them but to those music lovers in Malaysia and the world. Alleycats with their trade mark ' Terima Kasiiiiiiih ' has been part of the Malaysian culture, especially so in the Malaysian music scene. His songs like Andainya Aku pergi dulu, Mawar Merah, Kerana Mu are parts of great music and songs that the group has produce throughout the years. These are now parts of the Malaysian famous songs and I believe it would soon be a collectors items which are priceless. Hearing those songs often brings great memories of the great time we all have had at parties and with families members when watching Him performed. Indeed a lost to country especially so in the Music Industry of which He is an icon.. So Sampaikanlah Salam to all his family with the message that we all love him and that he shall be remembered as one of Malaysia greatest son. More on this news on a friend's blog.

Favorites songs from the past...

A friend send me this song. Manula Moon a Hawaiian song of the early fifty. To my generation this song is nothing new. We have heard it before and it is also similar to the Indonesian song Terang Bulan. Just listen to these two songs and I believe you surely have heard it somewhere before. Sound familiar!!!! Have a nice day. Have fun.

The last time I saw a good Malaysian movie is the 'Spinning Gasing' and later I watch the 'Idola', both movies I found to be good, but it seem that the Malaysian public did not seem to like these films...Now Yasmin, the well know advertising figure with many good shorts advertisement seen on our local TV...came into the local movie scene...It was the Rabun and now Sepet..Both movies had problems with the local Film Censor Board, but was eventually released with cuts here and there....I had not see both her movies but according to review and the short I saw on Astro, both are good movies...It is movies of the real life of the Malaysian society...It has won many international award, that makes Malaysia proud..Yasmin's Sepet...I was the first director of Development and Promotion of Finas or the Malaysian National Film Board, set up in the early eighties and I know for sure that film making is no small task and at time it do not makes money at all, one reason is that the local market is so small and Malay speaking movie do not have large audience, so in order to make money in movie, those that want to go into movie production had to budget it extremely well if it is just for local cinemas but if a movie is made for the international market, then the economic of scale would make such venture a worthwhile effort..For a good movies would always find market if it is a product of quality...I understand the this movie Sepet by Yamin has got into the international market, good for Her and I hope that this movie would bring success to her group of film makers, thus would introduce the Malaysian movie to the world...Syabas to Yasmin...Keep on going and I believe you would succeed in your endeavors......

Did you watch the movie Dragon Fly.... It is a great movie and I enjoy it for it give great meaning to life itself.... This is just a thought and since it is a really good movie I would suggest that those that had not seen it, should try to see and learn something above life in that movie.... That is that.... What makes me write about this is the thought that came to my mind on seeing a dragon fly hovering over the flowers in front of my house, like a helicopter, its hover around trying to attach itself to the plants..... It is a beautiful insect, this dragon fly.... Sometime there are many of these colorful insect flying around and at time it got lost and went straight into the house and it would eventually got stuck and die.... It dried up very fast and at time I would pick this dead dragon fly and place it among the dry flowers in the vast.... Immortalised it there among those dried flower..... As part of a deco for us all to admire, the beauty this dragon fly even in death..... What a creature.... With its huge eyes, great wings, long tail and colorful body, nice to watch it in flight.... I am told that those engineers studies the dragon fly when they were researching on the aerodynamics that eventually lead to the development of the helicopter of today..... What a way nature had in the quality of our technology....... The dragon fly.... Contribution to our aviation.......
