It was my first time, four nights ago, watching that much-talked-about program on… uh, I can’t even tell which channel now. TV3? Alaaa that Jangan Lupa Lirik show. As I was actually drafting a post with this line: ‘Sometimes I think I am cursed with a good memory; I remember too many things.’ I got thinking I should put my memory to work, get on that Jangan Lupa Lirik program and compete! My sisters think I could go home with 100k Rubels easily! [Perasan tahap Gaban alert! Perasan tahap Gaban alert!]
When one of the contestants struggled to recall the lyrics of Anita Sarawak’s Bawalah Daku Pergi last week, my lungs didn’t need a microphone as I was screaming on top of them unromantically finishing the line: “Sampai mati pun kujalani!” [Mati, okay! Dasyat punya retro!]
Later that night, another song came to mind. Just like tonight, it came back… singing me to sleep. Of Rahimah Rahim’s:
Jika begini terbiar menanti Tanpa kata-kata untukku jadikan pegangan Salahkah aku seandainya nanti rindu jadi jemu Dan hati tak rela menunggu Telah kuuntukkan masa janji tak terbukti jua Bagai pelabuhan sepi engkau menyendiri Apalah gunanya kini langkah tak sehala lagi Tapi sukar mengucapkan… salam perpisahan
Can songs really say what you’re not telling?
Questa è Enida 
Wiz:
If I had another month or so, memang teruja dan mengada nak masuk this Jangan Lupa Lirik thing. Looks fun as it is no fun doing it from outside the box! And bila participants buat lirik sendiri, my KaCher and I would howl like two sister-wolves that we are, suruh participants tu buat lagu sendiri lah! Muahaha perasan.
Do you, by the way, remember the name Gigi Villa with her song ‘Cek Mek Su’ circa 1984?
Enida, yes, you must compete…sure menangnya la. Lagu lama or jinggles in malay or in English, you would score big time. You know what it’s funny that you should write about the show here, coz everytime I tgk that show mesti I cakap, “if Enida, mesti dia hafal punya.”
Email me your new mobile phone number & I shall call you from here : )
It’s my old Celcom number lah Dee. I kan seorang yang setia. Auuwww!
Fauziah Latiff … nanti I email you mp3 dia … yup! tak sabar nak tunggu your email… mesti layan punya.
Yes! I pun banyak cerita ni … he he he
Dear Dee,
So many things to tell, I can’t even pick and choose which one to tell first! Cerita sakit hati, or cerita buah hati. Auw! One thing for sure… it’s just amazing how simple it is for me to get turned on by words these days. Yes! Mere words! I wish I could wait for you to touch down in KL. But I will be back in Moscow, where silence awaits, by then.
Dee,
Siapa penyanyi asal lagu ni? You will have to sing the song when you come back or maybe email it to me the mp3. But I’m sensing something in your last few entries. Saya ada banyak cerita to tell you nih. Sensasi, sen-sarsi, sen-seksi, all complete! Will email soon! Layaaaan, jangan tak layaaan Babe!
Memang you have a good memory pun … too good sebenarnya … ha ha ha. Saya pulak tengah melayan perasaan dengan lagu ni.
Kedinginan
hujan turun di muka bumi
bertebaran bintang ku
di atas langit hitam
gelap malam kini
dingin sekujur tubuh ini
sendiri dalam sepi
tiada yang menemani
di kamar ku termenung
seorang diri
di manakah kan ku cari
andai tiada melayang
rindu engkau terhadap ku
ku nanti kau di sini
kan ku cari
sejak kau rejam cinta ku
diri ini kedinginan
seputih ini
cinta ku kepada mu …
