The passing of a great woman

This morning when I reached Masjid Jamek LRT station, I rushed to get The Sun as usual. But today's headline Benazir Killed grabbed my attention. I was so shocked & disbelieved by what I read. Just a few days ago I watched news on TV showing Benazir Bhutto giving speech to her supporters. Then, she said she wasnt afraid of the threats around her. Nothing can stop her from achieving her dream to see Pakistan become a democratic country again. She was a very brave & bold woman. And now she is gone. I'm not going into details about this unmerciful killings. I feel angry & sad everytime I read news about killings, bombing & all the stupid human actions which leads to devastation for mankind. Is the world a safe place to live? Yes, I believe so. Only if cruelty is stopped. But can cruelty be stopped? No, I dont think so. And I dont know how to explain. Al-Fathihah for Benazir Bhutto. May Allah bless her soul. AMIN.

The Rain, The Crowd & MCR

Yesterday I went to watch MCR concert wif my hubby & my lil sis Maia. Maia was restless when I wasnt ready by 5. She was worried sick if the road would be jammed. She was right. We all ikut Jalan Bangsar, & trafik jam quite bad. Rupanye ade polis road block..dari 4 lanes jadi 1 lane. Lately ni slalu ade road block for KL bound during weekend. Hampeh. Finally, we all reached Stadium Merdeka by 6.30. Parking was easy. But it was a dissapointment during lining up at the entrance gate. Gate punyela cinonet tapi yg nak masuk punyela ramai. Sabajelah,,mase tu da dgr One Buck Short buat opening. Bila da dpt masuk,,Pop Shuvit plak wat performance. My hubby & Maia pegi solat Maghrib (konsert konsert jugak,,solat jgn tinggal beb)..& Maia told me dia sorang je pompuan (she's just 15) yg solat kat surau. And the worst part is,,surau lelaki kunci,,then lelaki semua tumpang surau pompuan (stupid betul mgmt Stadium Merdeka,,da tau ade big event,,,bukala pintu surau tu). Btw, Pop Shuvit performed brilliantly. Bangga kejap ade local act yg mampu main muzik hebat cam depa..boleh get even wif Linkin Park. MCR only appeared around 8.30,,kira awal jugak start, but earlier the better sbb dpt balik awal! Mase tu da hujan renyai2,,so u can see my pix below wrapped in free baju hujan. Ok,,since I'm not a big fan of MCR,,I didnt really pay attention to their songs except the ones that I'm familiar wif..adelah 4-5 je yg aku layan..so bila ade lagu yg aku x penah dgr,,,aku pandang blank je kat stage,,pastu kejap2 pandang langit sambil pikir bila la hujan nk berenti. The crowd went wild when fast songs like Helena & Black Parade were performed. Aku ade nyanyi la skit2,,tang mana yg aku ingat part chorus. My hubby pon buka2 gak mulut dia nyanyi skali,,padahal susah gile nk dgr dia nyanyi kalu dipaksa. Overall, the consert was OK, except for certain songs where Gerard Way's vocal was a bit overshadowed by the loud instruments. The concert was done in about 90 mins. As usual la,,laungan "We Want More" kedengaran bila end of the concert. Tapi MCR really gone backstage for good. Sempat bergambar jap wif the stage background (X dpt ngan MCR,,ngan stage pon jadilah). It was sucky during time nak balik,,jem la. Perut plak masuk angin coz x mkn properly. Ok,,that's it,,the end of the story of "The Rain, The Crowd & MCR".(Ending x cun)
