Mr Big - Wild World
La. ..la .. .la ... la. ..la
Now that I' ve lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it 's breaking my heart you' re leaving
Baby I'm grieving
And if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
A lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby , baby , it 's a wild world
It' s hard to get by just upon a smile
(yeah .. .) oh baby, it 's a wild world
I' ll always remember you like a child girl
You know I've seen a lot of
What the world can do
And it' s breaking my heart in two
Coz I never want to see you sad girl
Don' t be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there's
A lot of bad and beware
La. .. la.. .la .. .la. .. la. ..baby I love you.

Beautiful Ones
My users always ask me how I could cope with their bosses' bad moods, tantrums, funny requests, emotions, menopause, (hehe) etc. They say I'm calm and collected. They say I have high tolerance and patience.
In fact I do if I'm allowed to boast myself. It's because I see the person in a different angle. I try to allow myself to understand the person's possible reason why they act in a certain way. And for these people I quietly label them as 'beautiful people'. Yes they're weird, different, difficult.. aren't they already special to you? They are not normal. That's why I deal with them differently. My client (the beautiful one), loves me so much she even set dates to see me, twice a week. And only wants to see me. Not my boss. Not my colleague. Her staffs says she seldom have favourites. I'm not talking big here, but yeah who cares what people think. I am proud to know I'm one of her favourites.
The world is so much of 'norm people' that we expect others to behave like we do. And if they don't, we criticize and desert them. Labeling them so many names. Oh yeah, like we're so perfect? Stop watching too much tv and get a grip of reality. We are all weird. We each have different personalities. What's important is we must know some respect and some 'adat'. You can be 'special' but if you don't have manners, than you're out of the picture, far from being 'beautiful'.
Beautiful People to me are those difficult to understand types. Their brain works funnily. They can be possessive, control freak, temperamental, judgemental, etc. They also are always conscious that people are watching them all the time. I don't fix these kinds, because they can never be fixed. They are just like that. So yeah, maybe it was right for 'norm people' to walk out from these 'beautiful ones' because 'norm people' usually don't know how to deal with them.
But hello, I'm not talking about gays or infidels or sorts. This is totally about character. It's different. Don't confuse with personality and faith.
So how do I deal with them? I usually submit and let them be. Gentleness always wins. Listen to them first then you speak. Always try to be on their side. When they accept you, then your ideas may be vital to them. Yup... they're difficult. And they are special. Do no attempt to change them, they may rebel.
I should be working at the psychiatric dept.
But of course I do have my limits. When my patience builds up to a blow, I blow like hell. So I'm not that tolerant either.
It's because I believe I used to be 'beautiful' once. Possessive. Control freak. Temperamental. That is why I understand these kinds more than some.
So smile at them and just let them be. You're no special than them either.
Note: If you're dealing with abusive types, then it's not your job to deal with them. Report immediately. Help them and yourselves. Mental abuse also can be reported and brought to court (for Muslim wives) just in case you don't know. Happy Friday people! :)

Album Review: Projekt AK 'FUNKdeMENTAL' by meportal.net
Disiarkan Pada 12 Aug 2011 02: 39 Oleh one.barchiel di www.meportal.net
Komuniti underground tempatan pastinya sudah
lama mengenali Projekt A. K. yang ditubuhkan
pada 1995 ini. Mereka sering menyertai gig- gig
Hardcore di seluruh negara pada awal
pembabitan mereka dalam scene . Projekt A. K.
ketika itu merupakan pelopor trend rapcore dan
berbekalkan dua EP iaitu “Against
Kounterplot”(1997 ) dan “Prototyp”( 2002) ,
mereka telah berjaya membina satu reputasi
yang memberangsangkan dalam scene
underground lokal kita.
Seperti band- band lain secara amnya,
pertukaran anggota band adalah sesuatu yang
lumrah. Projekt A. K. telah beberapa kali
mengalami masalah sedemikian, namun dengan
semangat yang kuat mereka meneruskan
penglibatan mereka dan mencari idea- idea
baru. Transformasi yang paling ketara pastinya
arah muzikal mereka yang kini lebih kepada
irama funky- rock.
Album “FUNKdeMENTAL” ini amat ketara
elemen funky dan groove- nya. Muzik
sedemikian jarang diterokai oleh band- band
tempatan. Album ini jelas menampakkan
bahawasanya Projekt A. K. memainkan muzik
yang lahir dari hati mereka sendiri dan bukan
untuk pasaran semata-mata . Beberapa lagu-
lagu menarik termuat dalam album ini seperti
“Higher” yang turut mempunyai versi lain dalam
bahasa Malaysia iaitu “Inspirasi”, “Confusion ”,
“Tonite”, “Alright” dan “Angel ”. Keseluruhannya
“FUNKdeMENTAL” mampu menjadi duta muzik
funky bagi muzik lokal kita. Lagu- lagu yang
dipersembahkan mempunyai originaliti yang
kukuh dan berjaya mengalih tanggapan umum
bahawa muzik funky adalah seperti Red Hot
Chilli Peppers semata-mata . Funky yang
Projekt A. K. persembahkan ternyata berat dan
banyak diiringi gitar- gitar distortion.
Dua anggota asal Projekt A. K. iaitu Rudy
(vokalis ) dan Fyzal (drums ) masih kekal dalam
band ini sementara Syahmi (gitaris) telah
menganggotai Projekt A. K. sejak 1997 lagi.
Penyertaan Andy Flop Poppy selaku bassist
pada 2006 pula kekal sehingga kini. Line- up ini
dilihat agak mantap dan mampu membawa
Projekt A. K. ke destinasi yang lebih tinggi
dalam arena Rock- Alternatif kita.
Mampukah Projekt A. K. menjadi trendsetter
bagi muzik funky sepertimana mereka menjadi
trendsetter bagi rapcore dahulu? Marilah kita
sama- sama mengharapkan yang terbaik bagi
Projekt A. K. buat masa kini dan akan datang.
Seni mereka sememangnya berada di arah
positif bagi industri muzik tanahair .
---
Most fans like myself still do embrace the old rapcore. However we can't keep sticking our minds in the past. We have to move on and explore new things. Bad sign was when I went to an international gig (80s rockstars), our local 80s rockers were still stuck with their glam-rock image, whereas the international acts were already with modern clothing. Get where I'm going? We like to hold on too long of our past. I'm guilty too... chow!

Potluck Buka Puasa aka Pre-Raya
To set up the Raya mood with my friends, we decided to have potluck buka puasa at our house last weekend. It's been a long time since we had any gathering at our crib. As quiet as my hubby can get, he actually loves crowd at home. The right kinda crowd that is.
Kinda sad Fara, Skin and Elly couldn't join.
I hope to do more gatherings before my other kid pops out soon. Then it'll be another year nursing. And then I'm gonna force my neighbour buddies to host parties... hehehe...
My new specialty; roasted chicken and vegies. Ready to take orders too.
SELAMAT HARI RAYA, EVERYONE! MAAF ZAHIR BATIN...
P/s: waiting for pics from Deb and Ginger...

Proposal to the Government
Women may have the rights to apply half day jobs. Tak kisah la gaji pun half ke apa. How wonderful that'll be...
Points to ponder :
1. Mommy can spend time with kids
2. More job opportunities, I take half day, you take half day
3. No issues brought up like women power shit, you still get your job
Amacam? Ok tak? Next election aku nak bertanding la. Hahaha...

In Solitary
Ada satu pakcik ni, orang surau agaknya, buka bisnes makan dekat rumah kitorang. Satu hari tu try la makan kat sana. Dah duduk makan dia pun datang ajak borak. Of course hubby was with me la. We chatted and joke, obviously his topic would be religion la. One thing he mentioned that I will always remember. He said this world is about us mankind. We're here not to just pray. Tugas solat tu semua dah memang tanggungjawab masing². If we lock ourselves and just pray and pray won't promise us heaven. We are created to live in society. Bukan bersosial minum teh tarik je. But meet up, do charity work, discuss about religion, remind ourselves about Allah, helping the poor, etc. Basically the social networking goes around religious matters. That's why days before our time the mosques and surau always are meeting points. Not like nowadays, you can only see a full mosque during Friday prayers or religious occasions.
We don't have to go that far to notice our differences. We find friends hard to accept religious subjects from their own family and friends. Why is that? Are we all so modernized and think that religion is something unimportant? Well to be honest it took me awhile to open myself to strangers when they start to talk about something religious. I thought that person might be cocky or showing off his knowledge or worst thinking that person is talking down on me. Tapi lama² aku pikir ye la memang aku ni cetek pengetahuan. Apa salahnya dengar. Kalau tak percaya balik nanti aku kaji la balik. I won't take word for word what the person says, but it surely could add to my list of Google search items. Plus I like to talk, so what?
Because when we tend to learn more and more you'll find it more confident when facing people of other religion. Dulu bila orang ajak masuk Christianity aku tak tau macamana nak tepis. Dok hehehe patu senyap. They will ask many questions why this why that. You being a Muslim can feel scared to answer some simple questions, takut salah jawab. Memandai nak jawab takut dosa, takut termurtad ke.
But somehow living in this modern life, it is more difficult to socialize than i thought. Networking is nothing more than gossips, unresolved problems and money money money,worldy matters. Go beyond that you lose your entourage. Encourages people to live in solitary and keep their knowledge to themselves. And here we continue being ignorant people... what a disaster this world is.
May Allah help me with myself.

Happy Anniversary!
I remember the first time I saw you, you were with someone else and so was I. But it was that time I told myself not to look at you again. The sudden blush came over me and envy took place thinking what a lucky girl she was. And I never looked at you again even though we hung out with the same group. Even though I did say I would talk to you when we meet but I tried my best to avoid you.
I remember we exchanged numbers but I don't remember what for because all I plan was to avoid you. You messaged me a few times asking how I was but I made sure I sounded platonic. I guess at one point you thought I was snobbish you might have deleted my ym ID. Apparently you appeared again.
Years after years, heartaches after heartaches we finally get to talk in a much more friendlier mode, through ym of course. Though we met up in groups I still couldn't look at you, until one day I did and I just couldn't forget you.
Few days after you expressed your feelings for a girl and I just felt it was me. True enough we ended up dating.
A year past and we got married...
I'm still happily in love with you and today marks our 4th wedding anniversary.
It's only been 5 years since we're together but I believe the rest of my life will bring more loving and happy moments with our growing family.
Happy anniversary dear. You are truly my soulmate... love you...

Men Can Be Better Bitches
Selama aku hidup ni (I'm still 17 btw) aku sedar bahawa aku makin menyampah dengan lelaki. Aku bukan lesbian. Aku bukannya tak kahwin lagi. Aku sayang suami aku, bapak aku, adik laki aku.. tapi aku rasa aku makin benci kat lelaki secara umumnya la.
It's true women are bitches but men make better bitches than women. I'm no psychologist or anything, but through the years I think I learn to appreciate my girlfriends more. So they gossip a lot. So they like to compete. So they're forgetful. Sometimes we behave like jakuns. But they can never stab me in the back like men do.
Men tend to ruin friendship and relationship in the name of $$. Believe me I've seen many like them. I'm talking about men to men friendship here. Not men and women friendship. Like your dad's friend, husband's friend, boyfriend's friend, etc. Hari ni, dia kawan rapat kau macam kawan dibawa ke mati punya kawan. Lepak bersama. Cerita masalah peribadi dia. Siap di kala kesusahan pinjam duit kau. Tumpang kereta tanpa kongsi duit minyak atau tol. Kawan rapat sampai nak bukak bisnes sama-sama. Cerita masa depan sama-sama. Dah macam bestfriend dah. Kalau perempuan tu dah kategori kawan sampai mati. BFF y'all.
Tapi, bila dah senang, nampak peluang lagi bagus tempat lain, poof dia hilang tinggalkan BFF dia tu terkontang kanting gantung tak bertali, bisnes ke mana, hutang budi ke mana. Ada yang lagi pandai, bisnes sama-sama tapi duit masuk poket dia je. Songlap.
Setakat ni aku rasa kawan-kawan perempuan aku takde la songlap duit sampai tahap boleh putus kawan. Kalau setakat bayar kurang masa makan ramai-ramai tu takde hal lah. Close one eye only.
But no, men are willing to lose their friendships for money... or fame or out of selfishness, worse. Some funny fact that some men are willing to forgive as time goes by. Hello, if I were in their shoes, if I weren't a Muslim, I might have murdered them he-bitches! hahaha... Well, not all la, some men can never forgive until they die.
Con men, back stabbers, robbers, liars... are mostly men. We have real bitches too who are women. But in my point of view, men make better bitches. In numbers and in occupation. Just go phuck, piss, and go.
Bye-bye suckers. May you live long enough to pray for death to come.
Note: This is through personal experiences... wait another 5 years my views might change.

Bunga Larangan - UG14
Heiii... sesiapa yang ada video "LIVE" UG14-Bunga Larangan tolong laaaa bagi aku tengok. Penat aku carik.
To me this song is just so perfect, like listening to Steelheart-She's Gone or Loudness-So Lonely... but malay version. Of course we have many others like Wings, Search, MAY, BPR, etc. and we should be proud we once had great bands and great music.
But Bunga Larangan, when you listen to it after a long while, it really gives you the shiver inside. The lyrics, melody, music, keyboard/strings, guitar solo, the drum oh my god double stroke bass drum at the chorus, shit man.. so simple yet so brilliant. :D
Of course I haven't made any research who, what, where, when, why this song was composed, but I'd like to thank whoever was involved in the making of this song for adding to my list of favourite songs. (wow am I full of emotion this morning)
I love the Rock era! Yeahhh...!!

When I Go, Will You Come With Me?
My friend's cousin just passed away, 47 years old, died of heart attack, 5 months after her husband passed away... Innalillah.
I always hear this kind of news. Wife or husband dies after few months their spouses have left. It must be very heart-aching to be left alone.
One can die of heartbroken.. One can be very lonely when left..
Today is too depressing for me...

The Lowest Bottomest I Can Be
It's hard if you're a girl, seriously. You're kind, they take advantage. You're mean, they say you're a bitch.
In this world, I find most men to be pigs. Especially the ones who are half-men. They still have a dick so eventually they are considered men. Except more bitchy than women as they claim. I can't understand why the double standard still exists after so much brainwashing the media has given us. Equal rights never did happen in reality.
I have noticed men leaving all the tasks to the women to do, while they go have their cup of coffee. Many times I must say. Their supervisors let them be. But when it is our turn, the girls, we get some lecture.
Men are way more bitches than we women. You fight them, they gang you up. You complain, you get the bad name. You do it in vain, waiting for appreciation... you wish. Forget it, girls. Kau buat rajin macamana pun, takkan ada siapa yang pedulik. You think I may tell you to fight them? Forget it. I'm telling you to chicken out and leave them. They may or may not suffer without you, but at least you don't have to face them anymore. Them he-bitches. They are smart for making use of us. We are dumb to just be kind. Sudah la. Tak berbaloi. Baik duduk rumah jaga anak, pikir Allah. We may feel oppressed here on earth. But the benefits for doing the right thing at the right time, insyaAllah heaven is nearer to us, first. Them he-bitches can cry from hell.
Yup, obviously this post is all about me being depressed. Aku memang anti-lelaki dari kecik. Luckily, I'm not that dumb to label all men that way. Bapak aku lelaki jugak. I am married too, and wish to have a son some day. So, I'm not that all worked up with the idea of anti-men. Though in general, yes, I hate men. I wonder, am I the only one feeling this way? Do other girls get treated this way too? Unrealising they are being used?
I wish we really live the Muslim way. You men just go to work, and leave us all girls at home. You mentally drained people may think this is unfair. I think it's way more fair. Let the men work their asses off. Kerja admin pun biar dorang buat. Jual kereta pakai model lelaki tak boleh ke? Receptionist pun lelaki. Waiter pun lelaki sahaja. We girls should be treated as queens. Or Saloma. Not slave ourselves with paperwork and sorts! In this way, there's no such thing as "takde keje" for men. Because we know, we women are better at doing our jobs, yet easier to be bullied, that's why there are more women at work now. Men.. are just manipulative. That's why also they like to play Command and Conquer.
After earning my degree, some certs here and there, I find myself totally useless by the day. Degree tah ke mana. Kerja dah takde kena mengena dengan apa kita belajar dulu. In the first place you didn't even like the subject you studied before. Sekarang, kerja semua nak humban kat kita. Bila buat salah sikit, nak tulis memo kat kita. Nak tukar kerja dah tak tau nak ke mana. You just don't want to be stuck in a rut like now! You switch jobs but still end up in a shit hole, worse than before. It will always be uglier than the previous one. Always.
Some housewives say it's harder staying at home. Trust me, I'd rather stay at home than to be used, humiliated, scrutinized and caged. You slave at home, at least heaven is waiting for you. It's all worth it. Ini, naik gaji pun sikit. Bonus macam biskut. Layanan macam taik. Neraka pun dekat sebab asyik memaki-hamun, mengumpat, dan sebagainya.
So why am I still working? Duit tak cukup. Hutang banyak. Nak shopping. Makan nak sedap. Baju nak berderet. Kasut nak bertingkat. Yeah, complain but no action. That's how it is with us girls. I'm a coward. The Lowest Bottomest Coward I Can Be.
So to those who quit their jobs, you have my utter respect. Tabik hormat.
Thank you world for making me feel disgusted with everything including myself.
*Men in my context are subject to those who treat women like shit. I believe there are many gentlemen and with good home grown behaviour out there. To them, they have my prayers.

So why am I still working? Duit tak cukup. Hutang banyak. Nak shopping. Makan nak sedap. Baju nak berderet. Kasut nak bertingkat. Yeah, complain but no action. That's how it is with us girls. I'm a coward. The Lowest Bottomest Coward I Can Be.
So to those who quit their jobs, you have my utter respect. Tabik hormat.
Thank you world for making me feel disgusted with everything including myself.
*Men in my context are subject to those who treat women like shit. I believe there are many gentlemen and with good home grown behaviour out there. To them, they have my prayers.

Incendiary
At one look at the youtube below you'd think it's another stupid local wannabe band.
That's when you know nothing.
These young chaps are excellent! Listening to them makes me wanna listen to metal again! Tabik tabik tabik... apsal la Ijai tak cakap awal-awal. Kalau tak, Kak Dib punya kawan ramai yang gatal tangan dan sukarela nak meng-vote untuk Global Battle Of the Bands aritu. Tapi vote-vote pun dalam fb dapat no 2, apsal kat tv tak dapat masuk final pulak? Adakah ini satu sabotaj?
Anyway, congratulations Incendiary won 2nd Runner Up for Battle of the Bands last weekend 6 February 2011, and almost made it to Global Battle of the Bands Finals.
Ijai is my young brother-in-law. He plays the drums.. pretty well too.

Why Is It Okay To Show Off
Nowadays, especially, people love to show off. Somehow, people get richer everyday. Designer bags, shoes, make ups, cars, techy stuff.. you name it. Up to their kids' diapers too.
There is a certain amount of acceptance in the community for showing off. But let me tell you why it is okay, in my view. It is okay because in my case we need to look good and feel good. In fact we try not to show people that we are poor or cheap. Our prophet likes nice and pretty things too.
I like seeing people with branded stuff, really. And then I like to see how the person acts. I like to watch OKBs. I like to see them make themselves looks silly sometimes. Jakun la senang cakap. Some OKBs carry on well, some OKBs make 'OKB' sound bad. Some OKBs think their the richest. Some OKBs gets stingy.
OKB tu Orang Kaya Baru la. (New Rich Man)
Anyway, as I was saying, why showing off is okay. So, why is it not? I have new shoes, I'd love to flaunt it. I just bought a new bag, I'd like to match them with my outfit. Imagine everyone wears something nice, it'd be a happy sight. At least for me. It doesn't have to be branded. My shoes and clothes are all from Sg Wang or Berjaya. I don't wear brands, they wear me (konon). Except for watches and wallets and stuff like that (haha konon kan tadi), yeah I do have this weird syndrom that some of my stuff must be branded and genuine, excuse me. Not that I want to show off, but yeah.. I do want to show off. Hahaha.. It makes me feel happy.
The other day I saw this aunty at a mamak, she was in her 50s I guess. She was wearing white blouse, white 3/4 khakis, beige wedged shoes and a beige designer bag. Simple and sweet. More sweet that she's such a soft spoken lady.
If everyone dresses up, this world would be a prettier place. Not better, but prettier hehe...
However, to boast or brag excessively is a total turn off and low-class. You need to show not talk about it. Just show. Take it and go... take it... and go.... if you can afford it, just take it.......... and fucking go.
And please, quit thinking you have money. If you can't buy me this gold fixie, you're just poor like me.

Projekt AK Biography
courtesy of Projekt AK
Projekt A.K., one of the premier groups formed in late 1995, the original members consisted of Nazri and Rudy on vocals, Knox (of local hardcore pioneers Chronic Mass) on guitar, Zani on bass and Fyzal on drums. The band first made their mark on one of the first local hardcore releases ever, the Visionville Hardcore compilation released in 1996. The band issued the Against Kounterplot E.P. in 1997 to critical aclaim and the E.P did considerably well . Sometimes in '98, Knox left the band to concentrate on his own band, Chronic Mass. The band then added ex-Basic Right, Status103,Groundrule guitarist Amy and ex-Infectious Maggots guitarist P.E. to boost the line-up. Projekt A.K. gigged constantly throughout '98 and '99 but then took a break in 2002 due to the work commitments of various band members.
Blending the imaginative wordplay and rapping of hip-hop music with the stomping and funky rhythms of rock and funk, Projekt A.K.'s music feeds the head as well as the heart, rocking the crowd in the moshpit. The rappers and the musicians in the band constantly push each other to new directions. While Nazri subtly shifts his delivery to adjust to the unpredictability of live instruments, the other band members intensify their musical attack to avoid being drenched by the fury of Nazri's lyrical rainstorm.
Projekt AK have played blistering live sets to crowds from KL to Kuantan to Singapore and back. Hundreds of shows.Among the shows they've taken part in include the seminal Hardcore Matinee back in 1996 at Piccadily, the Kent Fresh Freakout at Sunway Lagoon in 1998 as well organizing and headlining Renegades : The tribute To Rage Against The Machine show and the Big show in Stadium Melawati in Shah Alam where they performed with Koffin Kanser, Blind Tribe, A.C.A.B, Gerhana Ska Cinta and others. The band has also performed with some of the best local hip-hop talent Too Phat, The Tarik Crew, Da Joint and many more.
On the Prototyp E.P. released in February 2002, the band worked with former Malaysia DMC runner-up DJ Ken from the reknown Playaz Universe who provided some fresh beats and scratches to give the songs an even harder edge.
2005 was the year when Projekt AK reunited with original line ups namely Rudy, Nazri, Knox, Zani, Amy, Fyzal... after a long slumber from the underground scene, did an opening with comrades Pop Shuvit @ Hard Rock Café.
In 2006, since Zani the original bassist of Projekt AK is in Langkawi with commitments, Rudy called upon Andy Flop Poppy to join Projekt AK as the bassist. Amy and Fyzal remained as the line up. Nazri, Knox and Piee left for personal matters.
My review:
This time around, Projekt AK brings you the funk eliminating the rap-core part. Why, you ask? Fans around question this a lot and some of them still want to listen to their original genre; rap-core. Well why not? We've all grown up so much, do we still need to listen to rap-core? (Though I did request them to create something more hardcore on their next album, for the sake of their fans, and me teehee..)
I must say Projekt AK FUNKdeMENTAL is suitable for all, young and old, girls and boys. Fresh new songs with fresh new ideas. You don't need something 'angry' to satisfy your ears and soul, do you. Jangan tipu la, kau pun dengar Jason Mraz kan? I'd pay more attention to the music, ie: drums, bass and guitars. It's not that you can catch talented local musicians all the time. They're out there but unfound. But this band is just right infront of us. Take this chance to appreciate our musicians. If you're a musician, you'd understand what I'm saying. If you're not, then it's time to learn to appreciate real music.
If you listen to FUNKdeMENTAL, I promise you it won't sound 'local'. Not to condemn local singers, but I must say the vocalist sounds really mat-salleh, y'all! Haha.. I'm not surprised if they have international fans, and they do, trust me. I've let some elderly English speaking people listen to the album and they were all surprised to know that it is a local band. I was proud to know that it raised brows.
What Projekt AK can offer, like any other independent band, is that they play as they wish. Own arrangements, self-produced, own masterpiece. There's no producer telling the bassist to slow down on the slaps, or telling the drummer to mute those ghostnotes, or telling the guitarist to go easy on the solos... nope... it's all in there. All in there! And I love it! It's my ultimate 'local band' satisfaction. So do we still need rap-core? Maybe in their next album. This time, give them a chance to prove their ability. You already know they can do what they did best before... :)
p/s: I only just hate the album cover. I asked them about and they said it was not Projekt AK's decision. So, no comment.
To listen to Projekt AK FUNKdeMENTAL, visit their website www.myspace.com/projektak and view their singles "Higher" and "Inspirasi".
If you browse youtube, you can find other songs like "Shadow Within" and "Alrite". Enjoy! :)
