Photo 1



Photos amazed me,some of the collection in my possession has been with me since schooling days, take this photo for instance,it was from the Times magazine dated somewhere in late 70's.
I,framed it and nail to the wall. Its sort of my 'giddy up' and go motivator.Inspires me.to be what I dont know.
ButAlhamdulliah.Syukuran Ya Allah.
It's a cut out from an advertisment in the Times mag.
I cant precisely note the date of the mag issue but it has been a long while ago and on my bed wall since schooling days.
I wonder what happen to the boy?
He must be a wise man some where in Africa guess.

'Lu apa pasal suka stem blues on E??
'mana lah gua tahu,guru gua ajar main Blues kat E,gua enjut E lah,
lain key mana gua tahu!!!!

That was the typical unscholarly musician conversation jamming the Blues.
Typically,after a few rounds at the local joint "The Artisan' Chepstow Place off Westbourne Park Villa Road.

Sleaky but lively joint,fully max on the weekends.
Chatting with Grand Wise Man from West Indies and mother Africa,Rail-roads worker,artisan,Rastafarian,the Jokes,Corkneys name it we are all there.
Nice intresting people,full with life battle stories.
Kinda of reasonable man on top of Clapham Omni Bus version.

That's my long life buddy,Boe.
I must say,apart from my other half,this man knows me like a book.
Nothing could I hide from him.
My life history,he could narrate it all.
We goes a long way and far too long to tell.
I love him like a brother and will always cherish the long brotherly friendship we have built over the years.
We practically went thru' thick and thin together.

Yes,mamak we are approaching 50's,dah maghrib beb!

Boe,a man with highest self-esteem,intelligent,witty and the hands is always they if you need one.
I absolutely could rely on him on what ever occurance.

That Chet Aktin and Earl Klug is to reminds us mamak the happy by gone days at
53,Fermoy Rd.Chepstow Mews,Dawson Place,Brynston Sq.Bradiston Rd,Marble March,Green Park,All Saints Road,Westbourne Park Villa Road,Leamington Road,
Shepard Bush ,Childbert Road,Balham,Finsbury Park Road,Waterloo etc,etc.

May Allah protect you mamak!
My gate and front door is always open!

My Sahur with Chuck E In Love.

hmmmmm...been a while since I last blog,non what so ever intrest me at the moment.
Yeap,its another Ramadan,breaking the fast and off course the 'sahur'
Wakie...wakie...time to eat with sambal and ikan asin.
hmmmm.thats the working class food.
Sambal titik ikan asin kurau,the boney parts of it is yummy.
Nothing extra ordinary,just plain and simple rice with sambal would do.

My thought flew away years ago,waking up for 'sahur'with Ricky Lee Jones sexy voice on 'Chuck E In Love'.
Most morning that is the voice I love to hear.
Husky and appealing to me and her guitar playing reminds me of my Gal Aimi's in Melbourne.
How's your guitar playing dear and off course the Ramadan down under.
Aimi's pick up the guitar while waiting for her SPM result 3 years ago.

Ricky Lee Jones acoustic playing is one cool cat.
I wish I could embedded it the lastest of 'Chuck E In Love' but it was not permitted but you could view it via the same page.
Same beautiful voice,sexy and appealing of course.
Yes,she must be same age as me now.

Old hippy never die they just turn new leaves.
