Twenty Seventh / Grateful

The show I had for KFC Snax Fest went well, although the turn ups weren't overwhelming, but truth be told, I had tones of fun. The sound system was awesome, I enjoyed performing up there with my bandmates, Athirah (cajon) Ike (bass) and Tune Zikri (guitar). It might not be perfect but it was beyond my own expectation.

However, with the recent happenings, and with the passing of someone that I love (though I barely know her), I would like to spend 5 minutes of my time to thank those I love.

My family. Uwan, Atuk, and Mama. The father and mothers of me, that help mould me into what I am today. With them, I know where I stand, what I should and should not be doing. They never fail to show me the right path whenever I go out of bound. Secondly, I am glad with the fact that I have the coolest and super supportive siblings. All five of them. Without Iman, Muhammad, Adik and Baby, I will never be here, standing at the spot I am currently holding on to right now. It doesn't matter what I do, or what my decisions will be on anything, all I have to do is just to look back, because they will be right behind me to make sure I'm not alone.

Next, I am glad I have my backbone, Athirah, around. For the past three years, she has been my ultimate muse. Still is, and it is amazing how she managed to cope with my tantrums. The one and only human being that accepts me flaws and all, without complaining, or sighing, or anything at all. It's amazing, how time flies. Feels just like a few months ago when I first met this petit young (then) girl. If it wasn't because this lady, I would've flunked my papers and stopped schooling long time ago. Now that she's my percussionist, things are just perfect.

Then comes Al Amin and Al Amir. Amin, who's been contaminating my two brains for the past 11 years, and Amir, who think of himself as a substitute for Amin while he's away. The two brothers never fail to annoy the crap out of me. I love them dearly, though they have their own nonsense that I have to put up with (heheh), like being thousands of miles away from me and still be able to be a major pain in the ass, but then again, thinking of what they have to put up with when it comes to me, I can never find two weirdos that can be brutally honest with me for my greater good.

Linda, a schoolmate, who then became my Misaimate, speaks nothing but the truth. It might hurt for awhile, but after awhile she'll make you realize that what she just said is absolutely right. I can always count on her, when I need a friend to talk to, or to laugh with (seen diet) and I appreciate the fact that you guys support me not only as a friend, but as a performer too.

Nora. The girl who dare to speak for her own rights. The girl who taught me how to be strong when I'm weak, and also the only one who stood by me when things went horribly wrong once upon a time. And thanks Tashya. For being Tashya. For being the person that I can always refer to as a partner in crime, an advisor for music, a laughing machine, and last but not least, a friend.

Esah. A senior from Sri Aman and I recently got to know her better. You're nothing but an angel sent from heaven. Though I don't know much about you, but you never fail to make me feel at ease whenever you're around. I just want you to know that sometimes, I wish that you're the elder sister I never had.

The boys, Ayied, Irwen, Syed and Kerel. My hik hok yu don stok boys. The only big group that can never go wrong. Without you guys and my brother, I'd be the most lifeless kakak in the whole wide world.

Last but not least. Moonchaser, you played a big role in my life once upon a time. We practically did almost everything together. Laugh, eat, sleep, live, and we even cry together. Though things are not the same anymore, the memory of us together will live on, forever.

Without all of you, I can never do this thing called life. Thank you, and thank you so much.

And Khadija, you will be missed.
