With things changing around him, one thing remained the same – his strong passion for music. He would spend late nights at school with his friends where they would sing, rap, compose and experiment with music in every way. It didn’t take him long to realize that music became an integral part of who he is.</b></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 3px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>After being involved for a while in the music scene as a music producer, Maher was introduced to RedOne, a gifted music producer who was fast rising in the music scene in Sweden. Maher started working with RedOne and later moved to New York. For a few years he was in the middle of the hot rush of the NY music industry, working with chart topping artists such as Kat Deluna on her debut album including smash hits ‘Whine up’ and ‘Run the Show’. Maher had what many would describe as a dream job for someone so young in such a glamorous business, but for Maher it felt like this was far from what he would call ‘the dream’, “I loved the music but I hated everything that surrounded it, it always felt like something wasn’t right”.</b></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 3px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>In January 2009, Maher Zain decided to work on an album that reflects his identity – Arab, Western and Muslim – and signed with Awakening Records.

Runners up included big names like Hussein Aljismi, Mohammed Mounir and Sami Yusuf. Maher has already performed at sold out concerts in Algeria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Egypt, England, France, Holland, Sweden, and the US amongst others and is fast becoming the ‘next superstar of Islamic music’.</b></div>Aizzat Rowleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18122594276334105974noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386809094286206959.post-38337837061921749812010-11-28T19:47:00.000-08:002010-11-28T19:47:48.991-08:00Plain White T's - 1234 - Official Music Video (WATCH IN HQ!)<iframe width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PYp0GVzmLgY?fs=1" frameborder="0"></iframe>Aizzat Rowleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18122594276334105974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386809094286206959.post-16555537319149539632010-11-28T18:35:00.000-08:002010-11-28T18:35:12.791-08:00My favourite band !

Itu pengertian yang harus difahami oleh peminat bolasepak di dalam Malaysia. Di Malaysia, rata-rata peminat bolasepak terutamanya yang masih hijau dan muda, amat mementingkan pasukan kelab antarabangsa berbanding negeri dan negara sendiri. Ya, Liga Malaysia tidak menarik berbanding liga-liga antarabangsa. Tetapi, ia tetap adalah liga tempatan yang melahirkan pemain-pemain tempatan kita. Seburuk-buruk imej Liga Malaysia, buruklagi sikap peminat bolasepak di dalam Malaysia yang seakan-akan lalang. Sekali ditiup angin, ikutlah ia akan angin tersebut. Sekurang-kurangnya, mereka, pemain-pemain di dalam Malaysia, berani membawa nama pasukan negeri dan negara. Bagaimana dengan anda? Apa sumbangan anda tiap kali mengeluarkan kritikan-kritikan sinis untuk pasukan negeri mahupun kebangsaan. Pernah anda menyumbang apa-apa untuk pembangunan pasukan negeri dan negara anda? Sekurang-kurangnya anda boleh membantu mereka dari segi kewangan dengan menjengah ke stadium masing-masing.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Itulah sumbangan paling minimum yang rasanya boleh anda sumbangkan. Itulah sumber penting untuk mereka untuk terus releven sebagai sebuah pasukan.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

Itulah realitinya. Kekurangan peminat ke stadium juga berpunca daripada kehadiran saluran Astro ke dalam Malaysia sekitar tahun 2000. Ibubapa, malah kawan-kawan mendidik generasi ketika itu untuk melepak dikedai makan atau kedai mamak untuk menonton aksi liga antarabangsa terutamanya BPL.Dan aksinya terhad hanya di kotak TV! Tidak seperti generasi lama dan generasi diawal 90an. Mereka pergi atau dibawa ke stadium menonton aksi pasukan negeri</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

Disitulah lahirnya semangat kenegaraan dan jati diri yang tebal. Tidak</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">mustahil, apabila generasi-generasi BPL ini sudah dewasa, bolasepak negara akan pupus terus kalau dibiarkan berterusan seperti sekarang. Tidak salah menonton liga-liga luar terutamanya yang mempunyai permainan yang menarik tetapi janganlah lupa diri dan asal-usul anda. Di Asia Tenggara, hanya di Malaysia yang amat fanatik terhadap liga-liga luar. Di negara Asia Tenggara lain,sekiranya pasukan kebangsaan mereka beraksi, peminat dan penyokong akan tetap hadir memberikan sokongan, kerana, ia membabitkan pasukan negara kelahiran mereka. Mereka mempunyai</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">kesedaran tinggi berbanding peminat-peminat di Malaysia. Disebabkan itulah, peminat bolasepak di Malaysia amat sesuai digelar sebagai lalang yang suka ditiup angin. Angin BPL datang membawa mereka terus hanyut ke dalam dunia bolasepak TV yang tiada kesudahannya.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

Hari sabtu, pekan dan kawasan sekitar di Kota Bharu kosong kerana semua pergi ke stadium menyaksikan pasukan negeri mereka beraksi. Di situlah terjana kewangan pasukan mereka dan sekarang mereka boleh bermegah dengan Café bolasepak mereka sendiri berhampiran stadium, produk-produk bolasepak mereka sendiri, malah radio bolasepak mereka sendiri, dan tidak lama lagi stadium bolasepak baru mereka. Kalau penyokong Kelantan mampu melakukannya, anda bagaimana?</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

Masalah pengurusan FAM hanyalah sebahagian daripada kekusutan prestasi pasukan kebangsaan selama ini. Kehadiran penonton dan penyokong juga menambahkan lagi</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">kekusutan tersebut. Tanpa penonton dan penyokong, sumber kewangan pasukan- pasukan negeri sedikit terjejas. Tanpa penonton, pemain tidak bersemangat untuk beraksi. Bantulah mereka dari segi itu daripada hanya mengeluarkan kritikan sinis yang tidak membangun. Sedarlah wahai lalang-lalang di Malaysia. Pasukan kebangsaan kita sedang meningkat sedikit demi sedikit dan mereka memerlukan anda dibelakang mereka. Cukuplah mengkritik, kerana sekarang adalah masa untuk membantu.Bolasepak kita, Wajah kita.</div>Aizzat Rowleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18122594276334105974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386809094286206959.post-36511553589482635292010-11-28T18:07:00.000-08:002010-11-28T20:19:02.144-08:00About me =D<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Hello readers , I am 12 years old .
