Big Boy with Small Toy

Few days ago I bought and tested a MIDI keyboard for my composer friend Pak Ngah. He said he needs a small all-in-one keyboard to use with his laptop so that he can continue working while he is traveling. I chose Alesis' PhotonX25 for him which has everything he needs, a MIDI keyboard and also an audio recording unit. With all the VSTi, virtual instrument plugins installed on his laptop, he can have the whole band or orchestra in his back pack. When he is back at his studio he can transfer the files to his desktop and do the final mix.
I feel excited about this because the very instrument I am testing will be the tool that will be used for his future compositions. Though his genre is traditional, major part of his tool is digital. Who knows this instrument that I am testing will be used to compose pieces for famous stars like Siti Nurhaliza and many more ;)

Everyday I Learn

Around 15 years ago I wrote a lyric-poem. I was so much in love and so heart broken. Yet there is beauty in every moment:

Everyday I Learn

I like to write a book
If you like to take a look
The times that turn to moments
The stars so bright the moon just fallen

May be I'll write a play
About a place so far away
So many things that I've spoken
Oh I wish that they were diamonds

Everyday I learn
That this world can turn
All the colours that we see
Are people like you and me

Everyday I learn
That this world can turn
All the diamonds in the sky
Are miracles in my eyes

I like to go away
To a great big out there
Looking for something that I miss
More than a moment bliss

May be I'll stay
If I can find my way
For everything under the sun
You will always be the only one

After traveling the world looking for love and happiness, I finally found what I was looking for. I always thought the answer is somewhere out there, but it is always near. Then I wrote this one:

Everyday We Learn (Present)

I like to read the book
Would you like to take a look
Of past, future and present
Of stars, moon, sun, earth and heaven

al-Quran the name we say
Allah's guidance to lead the way
So many things He has spoken
It all worth more than diamond

Everyday we learn
that this world can turn
All the colours that we see
Allah made it for you and me

Everyday we learn
that this world can turn
All the diamonds in the sky
His miracles in our eyes

He like to show the way
Would you like to walk His way
Look for things that we've missed
More than a moment bliss

Perhaps you'll like to stay
Close to Him in our prayer
For everything under the sun
He will always be the only One
