New Days Towards Death!

2 month hiatus

2007-01-26T15:38:00.000+08:00

we're backafter a two month break. be glad to know tat for once after two month, DP is going back jamming. we've been silent since total metalcore. bur silent doesnt mean we're dead. 6 originals have been produced over tat timespan and we're so gonna practice it during our jamming session. sufran is free from being grounded any longer i guess. the poor bachin had some issues wif his dad and as a result he got grounded.

partly the reason why we have not been active as we would love to. and tomorrow also will be singapre vs malaysia at the national stadium. i'm so gonna be there and scream profanities at the malaysian squad. haha. i just have this thing against them ingrates since i got robbed in jb 2 years back. yeah... i shouldnt elaborate more on this political issue we got here especially about those in the neighbouring state of ours across the causeway. i always feel tat everytime i step into malaysia, i gotta fight for every breath and tell death to fuck off. anyway, lets leave the political issues to the ppl in politics. i dont wanna lead a revolution. haha.

hopefully by sunday we'd get the vocal tracks in on the silent kill. coz tat's the only song sufran is prepared and equiped with. we'll see how it goes for the other few songs. look out for tat on our myspace. till next time.

the silent kill

2007-01-10T20:41:00.000+08:00

after months of perfection, DP has finally recorded our first track.. still sticking to it's title: the silent kill. no vocal tracks have been inserted though. we will be covering this song in the upcoming gig if opportunity comes about. for a preview of the song, pls go to our myspace page at www.myspace.com/dyingportrait

and leave yr comments behind. till next time

impromptu gig..

2007-01-08T19:59:00.000+08:00

it was supposed to be project pop or project x, watever they decided on, consisting of deedee, joe, boya, raymond and milah. matters have to complicate for joe.. conscription for his part. and the morning before the gig, deedee met with an accident. at the point of time, no one had any idea as to how badly injured he was. we only knew tat he had to be warded.. so to us, tat was to a certain degree of seriousness.

so boya called upon hariz a/l sidek to fill in for deedee. and two nites before, naaz was called to take up bass position.. after a few reshuffling, it came to this: basically it was us playing, with the two vocals of dead since 13. and it was all an eleventh hour thing. esp for hariz who was called in like a few hours before the gig. still, i think we did ok and we were having fun for most part of the show. from the lame pranks and our rowdy attitude.

thanks to our frens who came down at a moments notice to watch us play, namely FAZ of SOS, YAZ, SENOI, KHAI and MABOK. for pictures from the gig; http://new.photos.yahoo.com/dyingportrait/album/576460762381648106

yesterday was also the day i decided i shall fulfill my promises to mum about cutting them dreads away. a promise is still a promise though i was a week late in keeping it. so yeah, after i got home from the gig, i was quite emotional and reluctant to cut it away. but i did. and kept two of it. haha it's like i have two fucking long sideburns. and it was certainly an orgasmic experience getting to shampoo and scrubbing yr scalp after almost two months not getting the full satisfaction of doing so. so yah, i'm anti-ketombe now.

till next time..

writer's block

2007-01-03T15:07:00.000+08:00

resolutions attained or disregarded?

resolution and i am so gonna make tis happen for myself!

more like a wishlist. like promises, it's made never meant to be fulfilled. empty.

those above are but a few examples.

it was brought to my attention that some blogger wif a writer's block would just prefer browsing through other blogs and just copy and paste into their entries. such writer wif lack of ideas think it'd be nice tat suddenly in one sentence of the paragraph, the command of his/her english is flawless and in most other parts of the entries, her holy highness queen of england would shun and laugh upon the gramatical and childish mistakes only a fool would commit.

to tat blogger, i hope u refrain from doing such acts again. if u are facing a writer's block, just quit writing. i'd assume all sentences wif no mistakes gramatically are all copied from somewhere right?

back on track, DP received an anonymous msg providing us wif an opportunity to play this coming saturday at gashaus. no final decision has been officially made by the band. it'll probably be turned down by us due to boya's commitment wif project x, (or is it project pop?) since they're playing at the same venue the very next day.

anyways, DP has been on an indefinite hiatus which i have no idea when it will end. haha i certainly miss jamming.. i'd say it's been about a month since we last got together.

be back for more updates soon. the school term just began today, kids, keep it straight, stay in school. keep off drugs.

farewell 2006

2006-12-31T01:23:00.000+08:00

A few hours left of 2006...did it make u or break u? resolutions attained or disregarded? Hmm...I would say it was a good yr for DP... though this has been our first yr or so together... we forged new friendships wif a lot of ppl, shared the stage wif great bands in the local gigs... one band tat really catches my attention, has to be none other than Melanie murder... we hope to be part of more gigs in the coming year.

There has been a sudden lapse in activity for dp eversince total metalcore ended. Haha watdafuck... The band has been completely silent from practice sessions and wat nots... There's no plans from the band about whatever though there have been a sudden flow of creative forces between milah and boya...yerp, a few originals have been produced but haha... we'll see about tat... damn. haha.. I dunno wat else to blog about.. ok ok;for us, I think if we have to name a few events which was memorable, these would be the list:

Worst Gig event winner:
The one at ij, by skreenprint productions... fantastic crowd of none. Haha coz we were the first to play.

Best Gig nominees:
- our first gig ever at IJ... It was a first!
- I cant recall the event name, but I think it was Agression Please. I think the one where Odds of Stella played their first also.
- Our second time playing at GasHaus... whatever event tat was.

Most Anti-Climatic event winner:
Total Metalcore. Period.

I woke up yesterday to a day so bright, I only had one thing in mind, to get the band together and go take some band shots...after much deliberation, we got our act together. But as always, someway, somehow, we couldn't get sufran no matter how hard we tried. And he will always be left out of our band shots...fucking crap anak Bengali! Nanti complain!!! Anak haroun...in the end, senoi became the fotographer of the day. This was all a last minute thing, and the results of the shot was just marginal. To view the fotos, pls go to:

It’s raya haji today... I haven't been helping my uncle out for two straight years. Whatever...wif a head full of dreads, the only thing I'll get is laser sharp eyes from the "org-org kuat" kat masjid. Raya haji doesn't bring much meaning anyways. haha all I'd get most raya haji will be bau kambing...hhaha... anyways,saya bagi pihak dying portrait menyusun 50 jari kaki dan 50 jari tangan dan memohon ampun andai ada salah silap, terkasar bahasa, tercuri rokok, terkebas lighter dan macam macam lagi kalau ada ter-sana, ter-sini...maafkanlah saja kami sesungguhnya kami ni semua lamb of god.

Tonite also, setelah bersembahyang raya di pagi raya, ramai budak2 hingus akan kembali ke jalan songsang, menyambut tahun baru disamping perempuan dan botol2 air minuman keras... jauhilah kami dari itu tuhan...sesungguhnya kalau kami meminum air syaithan, maka syaithan syaithan sejagat tiada air untuk minum... haha ok, pardon my god speech everyone.. haha

2007 coming rite up, 2006 came and gone in the blink of an eye... I'm wishing everyone reading this a happy new year. things wont be happy always, but at the start of the yr, I hope it will be happy. some poor kid might lose their life tonight to some random acts of senseless violence, some parents might be broken their kid will die, some pets will be orphans. have a blessed and safe party to all ppl who reads this before countdown. Those who don't read this before 2007, and only come across this after ushering in 2007, thank god u live and see the new year. Keep it safe. Coz u never when and where doom may strike.. haha

on a more serious note, I've missed my frens. Namely hiddir, george, sara, dayah and the gang. I'm sorry guys... I know I've always been too busy to spare time for u all.. sara I hope I forgive me.. I've been too caught up wif my new found love for painting and sparing too much time wif the band.. but these are the only two thing tat kept me going in my lonely and boring life.. I know I should have make more time for u ppl.. the people tat matters. George I hope u do well when u get to Australia and come back here. Happy new year guys..

farewell 2006 come again soon!

total metalcrap

2006-12-11T19:47:00.000+08:00

the gig tat was supposed to be the most memorable for dying portrait turns out to be just dat. for the wrong reasons. total metalcore for us was total metalcrap.

firstly, the turnout wasnt as great as the turn out for battalion1. next was the re-shuffling in the band line up. for watever goddamn reason. that left us waiting. we were supposed to go on somewhere after the middle of the event, but we played only second to last. and i slept while waiting. i could have completed my painting at home! then came the blow for us. 4 songs. tat's all luke told we had time for. utter crap. horse shit.after all the waiting, tat was all we had time for. 4 bloody songs. wtf. and some bands had longer playing time. one played 8 songs i think. watever it was, it ruined the whole damn mood.

i've never seen sufran so bloody pissed. i tot he of all of us, were the least concerned about the band.. haha but he proved his worth. he was furious. and then we were outside pissing ourselves away and roy came up to us and apologize. saying he was sorry and all, and talking bout compensating us some cash and promising tat we will get wat we deserve in our next gig. tat was the least sufran could care for. wat drove him mad was tat we were told only when we were about to go on. not before hand.

and upon reaching home, boya was told by munky tat the instruction luke gave us was passed down by roy himself. wtf. so wat was the apologies and compensation ever for? colin's bulletin proved it's worth. based on wat i've heard, and based on the events tat happened to us at totalmetalcore, i guess things are clearly proven about xtreme music. i think the rest is history.

on a lighter note, our brothers and sisters from shadows embrace and rhetorical theory brought the house down. great sets from both bands. and on behalf of dying portrait, i'd like to thank everyone one who stayed to watch us play those four pathetic songs though at the end of our set, i heard and felt some disappointment from the crowd. we hail u guys who support us. adios.

total metalcore

2006-12-05T21:50:00.000+08:00

there has been an uncontented feeling in me about the scene for a long time, and i havent made a voice about it. fortunately though, somebody already did, and i honestly think tat ppl serious about the scene here should root for. thanks to our brother colin who has painstakingly voice out his voice of discontent and spread it through myspace to concerned ppl in the scene and the scene fucks. so here he goes:

THIS IS FOR ALL LOCAL BANDS AND SCENE FUCKS

so i guess you guys have been to shows like TOTAL METALCORE,MUSIC MANIA 1,2,3 and 4 and what have you not.
you might have enjoyed yourself,or you might have not.but one thing's for sure.some bands that played in the show
definitely did not have a good time trying to keep their places in the show.

in order to keep their places,bands are made,if not fucking forced to sell 20 tickets,going at 10 dollars each by a certain date,
made to sign contracts that guarantee compensation upon failure to sell all the tickets,and on frequent occasions made to buy merch.
one of the bands were even issued a pretty blatant threat when they refused to buy one of the shirts that were on sale during the
TOTAL METALCORE band meet. the organisation behind this series of events?XTREME MUSIC "PRODUCTIONS".

i hate math but im going to do it now anyway.
for example,the TOTAL METALCORE show.

one band: 20 tickets
one ticket: 10 dollars
total bands: 30

30 x 20 x10= the amount XTREME MUSIC would make if all bands panicked and busted their asses selling all the tickets.

ps.this is EXCLUDING the TOTAL METALCORE shirts that theyre making everying single band playing in the show buy, or else 'they will know what to do'.

i am not even going to start on the music mania series.

now the question is WHY.why the fuck are XTREME MUSIC trying to make big money out of a small scene?and whatever happened to
mutual respect between the band and the organisers?why are the organisers making labourers out of the bands who are INVITED to play?
where's is the gratitude?and WHY ARE THE BANDS GOING WITH THE IDEA?why isnt anyone voicing out?just because they want to play so badly
they would do anything?is it worth not eating for?most bands end up forking out their own money just to meet XTREME MUSIC's quota.
why are WE allowing XTREME MUSIC to laugh all the way to the fucking bank while the bands pay the price to play?when was organising
show ever about making big amounts of profit?

i am not trying to change anyones opinion,im not trying to be political,but i am,for a fact too fucking free.free enough to give the whole
situation good thought.and i am urging the bands and all the fashion fucks,the people who came for the music,and whoever who shows
up just for their friends,EVERYONE who actually pays for their gigs,to give this situation some thought.we go the shows to have fun.shows used
to be affordable.we go to shows because we love our music,WE DONT GO TO SHOWS TO MAKE MONEY FOR SOME ORGANISATION WHEN
WE BARELY HAVE ENOUGH FOR OURSELVES.WE DONT NEED ANOTHER GOVERNEMENT TO RUN THE SCENE.WE DONT DESERVE TO BE OVERCHARGED,
AND BANDS SHOULDNT BE GOING ALL OUT TO PEDDLE TICKETS FOR THE ORGANISERS WHILE THE LATTER WAITS FOR THE CASH TO ENTER THEIR POCKETS.
I'D RATHER BE BROKE THAN TO MAKE MONEY OUT OF BROKE PEOPLE.

BANDS,IF YOU THINK THIS MAKES SENSE,PLEASE.GIG OPPORTUNITITES COME FLICK AND FAST.IF YOU FIND YOURSELF HAVING TO DO STUFF LIKE SELLING
PRESALE TICKETS JUST TO PLAY FOR A SHOW,THINK TWICE.AND IF YOU KNOW THAT THE GIG IS RUN BY XTREME MUSIC PRODUCTIONS,DO NOT EVEN THINK
AT ALL.DO NOT EVEN BOTHER.ORGANISATIONS LIKE THESE THREATEN TO MAKE THE CURRENTLY ROTTING LOCAL SCENE DISAPPEAR INTO THIN AIR.

SAY NO TO XTREME MUSIC.

ps. if you think this make sense,spam it.fight one virus with another.

i personally, would root for his ideas. and a few others i know would. sufrin for one. he was stating the same fact the other nite before our jamming session. ok here's the breakdown:

in my view, the pppl tat spearhead xtreme music productions, i've heard lots of stories bout them, their scheming ways and all. but i never tot it was true until we played a few times in gigs organized by them. ok i admit, i'm quite a new comer to the gig scene, in terms of playing.. but, i've been in it, the observer of the scene for a long time, spanning near a decade, i'm proud to say, and am still proud of the local talents we have here. except tat there have been vast changes if we compare the scene now and then. seriously different changes which are both good and bad. and one of the changes is in how these gigs are now managed.

in the past, i've never or seldom heard bout bands having to plead to their close frens to buy tickets to their gigs. or for tat matter, if u think about it, sell their gigs. or pay to play. seriously, colin has stated wat i have to say in his note loud and clear. hell, i dont even know wat happened to weekend trip at youthpark where most of the gigs would happen. for FREE. and all the band would ever hope for is dat there would be a crowd.

so, xtreme music has had their scheming ways, but still support flows through. they ought to be thankful even after the made their scheming ways to the bands loud and clear at one point. this, cause i was there at the meeting about the total metalcore tee shirts. he was telling the parties present tat out of the 16 bucks tat each of the tee shirt is gonna cost, he is gonna keep 2 bucks. calculate yrself how much he would roughly keep for himself from the sale of the tees... 28 bands.. lets say each band buys at least 4 tees, he would easily have at least 220.. not counting the sale from the spectators..

ok maybe business has to be business, but the money their ripping from is off mostly kids..and wat's more damaging in my view is dat it ruins the state of the scene.. it's like indirectly forcing the bands to pay to play. and all they ever needed was a stage to express their creativity and talents. its kinda saddening.

on behalf of colin, i guess i'm urging bands wif the same sentiments about this, to unify and make our voices be heard. this, wat's happening is extortion. think about it.

video of the day:

post thailand

2006-11-16T14:30:00.000+08:00

the land of a thousand smiles was great, especially in phuket. a lot of activities done there. and a few mishaps happen there too. and i missed mum's cooking and the band. haha. of all things. anyways, i'd say the highlight of my trip there would be the bungee jump. it had to be.

i shall not go further and use this space as my personal blog. i'll let the video do the talking. to express how much i've missed the band. listen to wat i was shouting.

4 nov

2006-11-05T00:08:00.000+08:00

jamming today was great. we were a complete band for once in a long time. sufran made it this time. he had to disappear last week for some unkown reasons, and we were left stranded jamming without a man at the mic. it sucked. but he made the day happen today. and i re-assured myself, after today's practice session dat, beat merchants studios is the best studio ever in all places dp has jammed. i always thought fourtones is the best place. it was.

yeah, so i tot sufran was just saying things bout jamming today. coz initially i tot he was off to ipoh wif his other band, turns out, they back off due to some immigration problems. so singapore is represented by two bands down at ipoh today instead of three.

sufran came down wif a few frens and one of his friend wanted to sing entombment of a machine in the middle of the session. so we being they "band jemputan" had to fulfill the request of the guest. haha.. we gladly did it. and he was great at the mics too seriously.

after jamming we hanged around and took snapshots. few were taken as a complete band. coz we never tot of exploring the area and take more photos. after sufran left, we were bored and went into backstreets and this manificient abandoned shophouse in the area. while we were there, all we wished for was the presence of sufran. so tat it'd be a more complete dying portrait.

i'm yakking non stop. i'll let the pictures do the talking.. it'll be at:

be back for more updates when i come back from thailand next tuesday!

boredcore

2006-10-30T20:35:00.000+08:00

bored of nothingness. and i slacked my ass off everyday. and i'm getting sick of it, coz it's making me fat. but i cant do anything bout it. anyway, i'm waiting for time to get my ass out of here, off to phuket and bangkok next week. for a week to wind down and think of wat to do next in life.

the band will be playing at total metalcore, come 3rd or 10 december. either date, i'm not too sure. and our brothers from shadows embrace and our man at the mic and his another band will be off to ipoh 3 november for a gig there. all the best brothers and sisters. so sorry we couldnt tag along. due to money and time factors. we hope u guys rock the place seriously, and make a name there.

we pray for the safe journey to and fro. total metalcore seems to be the buzzword, there's so much hype about it, and we hope it will be one of the gig ppl would remember for a long time, and be a great way to close the curtain for the year for our band, other bands playing and all the metalheads who would be there come the day.

be back for more updates soon. anyway, heres a goon to bid u farewell:

syawal

2006-10-23T20:45:00.000+08:00

1st syawal. the day of victory. over abstaining against the forces of evil and all temptations all month long in the course of ramadhan. but i say i failed. many others too without realizing it. diminishes the meaning of celebrating the victory.
doesnt matter to me, coz i seriously couldnt care and am not hyped up for syawal.

wat was once a meaningful day i looked forward to every year, is no longer wat i wish it would be. in fact, i began to dread the day. as early as the first day of ramadhan. heck, i think i should disregard my name and be anonymous. ramdzan, my given name coz i was born in the month of ramadhan i guess, and syawal; my family name. since i hate it, i think i better change wat ppl call me.so ppl reading this, take note, u mite have to stop calling me zan or awal. maybe ma'on or bakar or mail or watever..

and i hate it tat only in syawal, tat u see ppl seeking forgiveness. wif their lavishly decorated acessories and extravagant clothings and thick as fuck make-up.
wat? in other days, they're immune from mistakes? and this is also the time u see relatives, sometimes once in a year, sometimes never, most times it's only in syawal. and fantastic thing is, they apologize! and wif tat, maybe they shed crocodile tears. that is so overrated. i fucking hate that idea. and who spares a thought for the destitute, the lonely, the orphans, the poor?

none. coz most are busy visiting colecting money. and showing off. in their brand spanking new and colourful clothes. even those who are truly islam, and i mean those in the middle east, dont celebrate syawal they way we do here. they do it simple. there's not even much visiting. we are too excessive here.

enough of my rants. it's not tat i'm a sad piece of shit. heck, i could have spend my money getting new clothes and all but i choose not to. coz to me, it's a meaningless celebration. anyway, music mania 3 at gas haus was great.

it was a blast. wif the right company of coz. headed down wif ajis, ham and khai and met the rest there. during the set of someone murdered cupid which boya played, ham and khai got their arms injured in the pit. haha. it was fun and hectic.

odds of stella put up an awesome set. the crowd was totally in the mood when they played. then came tat fillipino band. the scenesters were taking a break when they played. coz obviously the band didnt cater to their choice of song. but the only local fucker in the crowd was khai.damnit. coz he was into rhcp. and the band was playing dat for a while. and then they played sublime's santeria. tats when the scenesters got off their asses and skank the fuck away. it was fun.

then they mellowed down, coz the band was playing some of their local songs i think. but still stick around, getting mad in the sing along part. and there's this song they played in their language, which sounded like "sleamat hari raya" and the kids were singing just tat. a lagu raya. wat da fuck!! it was hilarious, wif their antics and all.

we stayed around till duxton plains took the stage. zan from melanie murder fronted the band as a guitarist. and my fren aidil was at the drums. i think zan is the man. although i'm zan too, but it's not me. he is the man lah. seriously. coz when i saw melanie murder, the aggresion he put forward through the mics, i felt he's like the force in the band. and then two days ago i saw duxton plains. again, i felt tat as the lead guitarist, he drove the band. there's this aura or something, watever it is, tat is clear enuff for a person to see, tat he is the force behind those two good band. so, zan is the man! haha.

then the closing band, nicotine content. we felt every single member of the band was good, except the vocalist. watever he is. he didnt even sing. he was just like a prop. and that made us pack up and leave. coz he was merely introducing the band in the begining and dancing his ass off like austin powers in a cabaret dance.watdafuck. and he stood there like the star, horsecrap! fuck him.

anyway to all, sleamat hari raya and a thousand apologies to all whom i might have offended directly or indirectly. no hard feelings. after all, we are just human. but in the celebrations, i hope, let us not forget the less fortunate and not celebrate excessively. till the next update.. take care.

bloodsoaked memories

2006-09-13T21:39:00.000+08:00

i'm still grieving and getting over the death of my grandma and the pains tat come along wif it. i just wanna share a little something, a few excerpts from the talqin at her burial. it seems to put me at a peace of mind everytime i listen to it. here it goes:

"....tiada tuhan selain allah. tiada sekutu baginya.
Dia yg menghidupkan, dan dia yg mematikan.dan allah senantiasa hidup tiada matinya.
maha suci allah yg bersifat qidam dan baqa'
maha suci allah yg menjadikan hidup dan mati sebagai menguji siapa yg baik
dan siapa yg bakal kecundang.
maha suci allah yg menjadikan kubur kubur ini sebesar besar pengajaran
untuk diambil iktibar oleh kita yg masih hidup.

sebagaimana allah s.w.t telah berfirman dalam Al-quran:
setiap yg hidup pasti akan menemui kematian dan akan disempurnakan
segala amalnya di hari kiamat nanti.
maka barang siapa yg terselamat dari azab api neraka dan dimasukkan ke dalam syurga,
maka sesungguhnya mereka itulah orang orang yg telah berjaya.

hidup di dunia tidak lain, hanyalah hiburan, kelalaian dan yg sangat sangat memperdayakan.
dari itu hendaklah kita semua ingat, barang siapa siapa yg melanggar
perintah perintah allah, terutamanya dalam mengerjakan solat fardhu, yg telah diwajibkan,
maka sesungguhnya semua amalan yg dilakukannya setelah itu tidak diterima allah s.w.t
hendaklah kita periksa dan perbaiki amalan kita, pertingkatkan iman dan ilmu.

setiap makhluk atas muka bumi ini akan jahanam dan binasa kecuali allah s.w.t
ketahuilah kita, bahawasanya dari tanah ini kita telah diciptakan oleh allah s.w.t
semata mata untuk kita beribadah kepadanya, untuk bertasbih dan memuji-mujinya,
untuk melakukan segala yg diperintahkannya dan menjauhi segala larangannya.

dan kepada tanah, kelak kita akan dikembalikan dan kemudian
akan menjadi makanan kepada ulat ulat.dan kemudian daripada tanah ini,
kita akan diciptakan sekali lagi, di padang masyar, untuk mendapat balasan,
atas apa yg telah kita usahakan dimuka bumi ini.

wahai jasad yg telah disemadikan, telah selesai sgala kewajiban kamu di atas muka bumi ini
yg hanya besifat sementara waktu sahaja, sekarang kamu berada seorang diri,
didalam lapisan bumi, seperti mana mereka yg telah kembali
kepadaNya terlebih dahulu daripada kamu.
semasa hayat kamu, kamu berpegang dgn kalimah iman:
Laa illaha illallah;
tiada tuhan selain allah, tiada sekutu baginya.
tiada satu makhluk di atas muka bumi ini lebih berkuasa kecuali kuasa mutlak allah s.w.t
kamu juga berpegang dgn kalimah amalnya, yakni:
muhammadasarullullah
hanya dgn sunah sunah rasullulah s.a.w saja yg membawa kehidupan,
kejayaan hidup, dunia dan akhirat

wahai hamba allah yg sedang mendengar, sebentar lagi kamu akan lihat dgn penuh keyakinan
atas keterangan dan janji janji allah; yg terdapat didalam al-quran dimana kamu baca
dan kamu fahami isi kandungannya, yg mana kamu amalkan perintah perintahnya,
dan yg mana kamu sampaikan kepada lain untuk mengamalkannya.

wahai hamba allah yg sedang mendengar, sebentar lagi akan datang kepada kamu dua malaikat
untuk menguji kamu atas amalan amalan yg kamu lakukan di atas muka bumi ini.
maka jgn kamu rasa takut, kerana segala amalan yg kamu lakukan, yg akan membantu menjawab
segala segala soalan yg akan dikemukakan oleh dua para malaikat itu.

dan ingatlah kita semua, bahawa satu hari nanti kita semua akan berada didalam alam barzakh ini
dan bila berada di alam barzakh dan manusia semua meninggalkan kita, kita pasti
didatangi oleh dua malaikat yg akan bertanya soalan soalan bagi manguji segala kehidupan kita
di dunia ini.

dan diantaranya, kita akan ditanya:
"marabbuka"; siapa tuhan kamu?
sekiranya kita berpegang tauhid kepada allah s.w.t, tidak menyekutukanNya, melakukan perintahNya,
mengutamakanNya dalam segala apa yg kita lakukan dimuka bumi ini, maka dgn mudah akan menjawab:
"Allahurabbi"; Allah tuhanku.

kemudian kita akan ditanya lagi:
"siapa nabi kamu?"
insyallah, sepanjang hayat kita mengamalkan sunah sunah rasullullah s.a.w,
barulah kita akan dapat jawab:
"muhammad rasullullah s.a.w adalah nabi ku.

kemudian kita akan ditanya lagi:
"apa imam dan ikutan mu?"
seandainya sepanjang hayat kita membaca al-quran, mengamalkan perintah perintahnya,memahaminya
dan menyebarkannya kepada yg lain ajarannya untuk mengamalkannya, insyallah kita akan menjawab:
"al-quran adalah imam dan pegangan ku"

kemudian kita akan ditanya lagi:
"dimana kiblat kamu?"
seandainya sepanjang hayat kita tidak meninggalkan solat, kita mengadap kiblat untuk
bersujud kepada allah s.w.t, maka dgn senang kita akan menjawab:
"baitullah adalah kiblat ku"

akhir sekali kita akan ditanya:
"siapa saudara saudara kamu?"
sepanjang hayat kita, bersilaturrahim, menyayangi atara satu sama lain, membantu satu sama yg lain,
tidak berhasad dengki,menyatukan hati kita, bukan dgn orang2 kafir, tapi hanya dgn orang orang yg beriman,
maka kita akan menjawab:
"umat umat islam dan orang orang beriman adalah saudaraku"

dan banyak lagi soalan soalan yg akan dikemukakan tetapi kita tidak ketahui sekarang,
tetapi tak usahlah kita fikirkan kerana segala amalan kita akan dapat membantu untuk menjawab soalan
soalan itu kerana jasad kita akan dimakan bumi, hanya roh kita yg akan mengadap allah s.w.t

ingatlah, talqin ini untuk kita semua, kerana kita semua akan masuk kedalam satu lubang ini,
kita tidak tahu bila. hari ini mungkin kita kunjung, besok lusa mungkin salah satu lubang ini
adalah milik kita, tapi yg penting sekali, nabi dan al-quran allah jadikan di muka bumi ini,
tidak ada di alam barzakh, tiada nabi lagi, tiada al-quran lagi, tandaya; kita buat amal sekarang di bumi,
di dalam sini tempat ujian saja."

ok.. here's a little update DP will be performing at ij this 23sept. this will be the last time before we take a break for a while in respect of ramadhan.

more bout the band.. or rather boya and me. at least. after 3 straight weeks of having my weekends burnt due to work, it was another burnt weekend for me but this time, i'm not complaining. our beloved grandma passed away on saturday. it was a mentally exhausting experience for me personally. i bet boya felt the same way too. coz we were discussing bout some family matters, all the could haves and the regrets we had in regards to her, while she was alive.

it was no point debating, now tat she has returned to God Almighty. we can only pray for her. may her soul be placed among those HE loves. personally i think we are good grandkids, but we could have done better. tgklah BOYA!!!! skarang kekesalan kita tak kemana siol.. akibat sifat malas kita!!! tapi aku rasa kau lagi pemalas dari aku. haha.

anyway.. dats it for now, and semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat.

she will be loved.

ok.. officially bored. i hate it when i have to go slave for the nation, but then on the past two days that i'm off, i got nothing better to do. so here i go, ranting away. i cant even fucking imagine wat life would be after i hang up the greens in days to come. 43 days more to go exactly. counting down the hours.

watdafuck am i supposed to be doing after army? damn it, especially when i've plan to slack till the end of the year, well at least after thailand trip. which will be over like two weeks before the new year, so might as well slack all the way right? fuck! i think i better stop it here before this becomes my personal blogspace.

ok. updates about the band. milah is ending his probation soon, param is becoming the anti-pirates for the home team, boya is pimping around, and i'm bitchslapped with boredom. sufran, nobody knows. tat skool kid, still skooling. haha. ok, up till now, no news of any other gig coming up. and ramadhan is nearing, so i guess we all better be hanging up our equipments for a while and start trading them for songkoks and kain pelekat, sama sama dan beramailah kita sambut bulan mulia ini dgn membanyakkan ibadah dan berjemaah di malam hari. watdafuck dat ever will mean. haha. refer to the pic below. ha.

so i guess if there are no gigs coming up in the three weeks to come, it will be awhile before the next one comes along. till then.

Ascension II

2006-08-27T22:28:00.000+08:00

yay! first of all we have a new layout for our page, and i think it's nice. some ppl have already like it, even though it's not yet completely done. do check the page again in time to come for the new stuff.. more pics will be added soon. and more info on stuff i guess. coz everytime i go to shadows embrace's blog, i think of wat a lame site we have for ourselves.

coz theirs is so rich in vitamins and nutrients. like a lot of info u can retrieve.. hal hal ehwal semasa, seperti : why major tab sites are closed, illuminati, dan lain lain lagi yg sewaktu dengannya. really interesting things.. plus videos and interesting links. and i keep checking their site much more than i do check my own band's blogsite. watdafuck a/l kareem..

so today was our first gig at gas haus. it was a nice place. still is. i guess. haha. sound was way better than ij by a few million miles. very rilek place for a rilek guy like me. mach mach. and guess who i saw at gas haus! my myspace fren, SURYA. this time i presented myself to her. haha ok, enuff of tat crap. nice lady. we were the opening band. and following us, a lot of other great bands. it was an eye opener gig today for me. and seriously, this is the first gig ever, tat i've stayed around till it's about to end. normally, we would do our set and then i'd leave. takleh tahan ah bayar duit parking kreta banyak banyak.. but today was different, i tot, "Ah fuck ah, if kena saman, bayar je ah!", coz the bands were really great. and not forgetting the fact tat i havent sleep from the time i woke up saturday afternoon and was up all night thru to the time i came for the gig. i was sleepy like hell, but then the bands tat played was good, one after another! made me stay!

i've seen shadows covering Through the eyes of the Dead's beneath dying skies,but today was different, i think they did an awesome job today. probably because of the equipment and sound. it really make much difference. obscure phionix's rendition of closed casket requiem was also good. we enjoyed it. hail both bands!!! metal militia!

then came around bands tat i've never watched before. they were awesome. seriously. i take my hats off to them. and my socks. coz they rock my socks off. the melanie murder was great, so was state of grace, in fact the bands who played today was totally awesome. melanie murder was superb lah. very hardcore, very straight-edge. i like!!! great throats at the mic too.

unfortunately, we had to leave a song into murder she wrote's set due to milah's curfew, so home we go after tat. and yay! no parking fines today though the parking coupons were due. lucky me i guess.

and to IFAA: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 16 i guess...

till next time, majulah sukan untuk negara. sekian wassalam bissawab.

AHORA VENGO MAMA CHOLA

2006-07-29T23:49:00.000+08:00

the gig today was awesome. the crowd was wicked. we rocked the masses. i think. basically, we rocked the socks off every men's cock. it was simply awesome. best show dying portrait ever did. ever. up till now.

the day started off painfully slowly and lazy. as usual, we jammed to perfection first before the gig. by the time practice was over, we headed down to ij and mulyssa was about to end their set. we had wanted to catch them in action. but too bad we fuckers came a bit too late. then came the most painfully slow waiting game.
haha. and we fuckers were chilling at one corner waiting for our set. macam budak terbiar. actually we were kinda nervous tat's why. especially me. and param.

coz the turn out was unexpected. looking at tat, i felt nervous and wanted to pee. and param had shit ready to flow out of his asshole. right up where the sun dont shine. and we waited, without any info on when we are gonna take the stage. so from 3 to 5, we waited. and we were finally due to play.

with all adrenalines pumping, we stepped in. and the moment we stepped in, the room was like an oven. freaking madness and tat stench from sweat filled the scene. crazie. did our set up and then we began the show..

started off with entombment of the machine. mulyssa did tat too we heard. i think the crowd liked it. and after tat there was little noise when we anounced we're gonna play forever ends today. not tat widely known i guess. but the crowd was still active with it. it became volatile with the ever growing heat when we started covering lamb of god. the pit was crazy.

yeah, so we played laid to rest, hourglass and now you've got something to die for. we were pretty much dead after dat, and boya and me were all unplugged and ready to leave when the crowd requested for black label. and sufran gave in to the request. this is where madness came in. he asked the crowd to split into two, left and right. they prepared themselves. for the wall of death dat is.as soon as the song kicks in, motion became madness. it was a scary sight. but they enjoyed themselves i guess. and when it came to the last part of the song, sufran goes : "this will be your last chance motherfuckers..." and dats it. they continued wat they've been doing and they madness was subdued. we ended it good and clean. without bloodspill. without fights.

overall, it was the best gig ever. and we hoped at our next show, it gets better. coz we're gonna play black dahlia murder. so till then, i think that will be the time we generate the next update. haha.

ahora vengo mama chola mama chola. worldwide.

Laying it Down

2006-05-20T22:49:00.000+08:00

Ok.. a quick update on the latest. we are working on laying the tracks down. wif our own hardwork, we're putting the the tracks down and perfecting the sounds.

Milah and Boya was over at my place earlier recording the guitar and bass parts.wat's left for us is to perfect the sounds, burn it, bring it down to the studio and record the drum tracks and the vocals and pretty soon, the fruit of our labour would be hitting this space.

been a pretty tiring day sitting in front of the comp, mending the arrangements of the track and setting the sounds. but i'm loving this job behind the scene. it was a mellow weekend for us, wat wif the absence of param and other stuff, so no signs of jamming session in the near future. but we decided to make something happen, thus the recording works.

and yeah.. at the end of all tat, we jammed. in this confined space i call my room. wif milah on percussions courtesy of my keyboard. there's a video to tat, but i havent figured how to upload coz the size is huge. we'll see bout tat, probably soon.

ok.. i'm dog tired, i think i'd just let the pics do the talking.

Original coming up soon

2006-05-14T22:50:00.000+08:00

yess... u heard it right.. our first original song which is yet to be tittled is in the work now, near completion.. thanks to milah and his superb creativity.. the maestro i should say. today's jamming session was fruitful, thanks to Bachin for the session coz out of the blue he misses us and called us up for an impromtu practice session which caught everyone offguard. nontheless, we practiced our first original song and it sounded near perfect to everyone's ears. Milah and Boya came up wif the riffs, so thanks to them. overall, the practice session was fun and was worth the rush heading to the studio.

tat's all for now i guess, stick around for more update soon.

ARSE ATTACK!!!

2006-05-07T00:47:00.000+08:00

arse attack.. it feels good to be fucked! especially right up the ass.

i think we did a fairly better gig then our first, though the crowd wasnt fully drawn in.. as much as we would like it to be in our first gig.yeah, but we dont blame anybody.. we were the opening band. it was still good though, crowd or no crowd.

i think we practiced hard enuff in a short timespan and gave the best we could. as robb flynn would put it: the blood, the sweat, the tears.
for the love of music in our blood, through our shit-stenched sweat we proved our efforts, and the shitstorm some ppl putting me through, the tears were wiped away for a moment.

some memorabilias we got, the band stickers and the band tags the organizers issued were damn fucking cool. i think the organizers this time round really put in some serious work. good organizing skills they got.

i guess tat pretty much sums up the gig list for the meantime.. since param is committed to the home team in being in the marching contingent for the ndp, his weekends are pretty much gone and fucked. while by the time his commitments are over plus his P.O.P following after ndp, and i complete my service to the government and hang up the greens for good, i guess we'll be back to rock the stage.

dat's the plans for now.. at least that's wat we've discussed. so till then so long!
