Momento: Tribute to P. Ramlee, by BOB

Yup, its my voice. I sang all parts with voice recorder and mixed it with FRUITY LOOPS (v4.0). An acapella trial project, inspired by; thanks to Corey Vidal, (good luck for the video award) and MOOSEBUTTER (you rocks!). Have to use better quality equipments. For those who interested in somethin like this, I may say that FRUITY LOOPS (V4.0) is adequate for audio-mixing, musical arrangement. Really looking forward for your feedbacks and I am welcoming anyone who intend to get more info on this. Im quite a newbie myself, but Ive used the software quite sometimes in theatre, showcase and other stage performances; I'll try to assist as much as I can. Also appreciate if you may share midi files (sound) with me.

Take this quiz:

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

All of them are great people. How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel, appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care. Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.

Amazing Story: How to believe in Allah & Rasulullah

Once, there was a "Muslim boy" who didnt really believe in Teachings of Islam. The first 13 years of his life was spent in U.S. as his parents studied there. His "Muslim" status is just simply because his parents are Muslim (most Malaysian are). When he came back when he was 14, he has a lot to questioned about the "faith"but the people around him just reacted negatively to his opinion and said that he is ingrateful and its an act of apostacy.

The doubt stays and getting stronger everyday....

One day, the day he turned 18, he really decided to leave Islam. He told his desire to one of his friend and the friend insisted him to meet his uncle. After some introductory session, with a slow voice and in fear, he asked:

I have a lot of questions but Im really afraid to asked anybody. Today, Im not really care of what you gonna do to me.

1. If we have to believe Allah, we have to be confident that Allah exists but i never felt Him, heared from Him and I even cannot see Him? How may I believe in Allah?

2. Yes, it is proven in history that Muhammad S.A.W was a great man ever lived in this world. His idea, teachings and a complete lifestyle is great. But, some of his words and tellings was absurd. For example, he claimed that he once went to Palestin and to the highest "sky" to see God (Isra' & Mi'raj), IN ONE NIGHT! Its impossible for any human being on earth at any point of time to do that.

In his surprise, his friend's uncle smile and compliment him for that question and said: " Not many Muslims ever asked or think about all these, and that what makes their faith go thinner every second passed. You, my son, have you ever heard the story of Prophet Ibrahim? He questioned the same thing before beliving in Allah. See, how great you can be if you allows your mind to think?".

Then.....

The wise man answered:

1. Try slapping yourself as hard as you can. Can you feel the pain? Do you believe the pain exists? Show the pain. Let me hear from it. The pain exists because of the slap. You may as well feel Allah when you worship Him and do what He instruct sincerely. The concept of believing in the "unseen world" is the same as how you understand the concept of human feelings. It cannot be touched, neither heard nor seen it. It just exists and you may feel it as the result of your action.

2. Before I answer, let us take a look back on some list of quotes by great, wise men:

Charles H. Duell, Office of Patents, 1899
Everything that can be invented has been invented.

A Boeing engineer, after the first flight of the 247, a twin engine plane that carried ten people.
There will never be a bigger plane built.

Lt. Joseph Ives after visiting the Grand Canyon in 1861.
Ours has been the first, and doubtless to be the last, to visit this profitless locality.

Albert Einstein, 1932
There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.

Decca executive, 1962, after turning down the Beatles.
We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out.

Business Week, August 2, 1968
With over 50 foreign cars already on sale here, the Japanese auto industry isn't likely to carve out a big slice of the US market.

Popular Mechanics, 1949
Computers may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.

Ken Olson, president of Digital Equipment Corp. 1977
There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.

Thomas J. Watson, chairman of the board of IBM.
I think there's a world market for about five computers.

U.S. Secretary of Navy, December 4, 1941
No matter what happens, the U.S. Navy is not going to be caught napping.

All these great indivuals did not believe in a lot of things. Its just NOT REASONABLE for the MIND in that particular moment, not because its not true. So, to believe the UNTHINKABLE things, what we need is to have more than reasoning, which is faith. All the above achievement was succeed because of faith.
