"It's only through writing that I've ever been able to suppress life's personal disappointments. When I can't write I feel anxious and out of sorts and am easily riled, though I'm usually able to control my emotions..."
- Pramoedya Ananta Toer (The Mute's Soliloquy: A Memoir)
["Hanya dengan menulis aku mampu menekan segala kekecewaan peribadi hidup. Bila aku tidak menulis, aku merasa cemas & tidak keruan serta mudah gusar, walau selalunya aku bisa mengawal emosiku..."]

EDITOR OF UTOPIA™ SAID...

When a music label got into my nerve, don't challenge me with my opinion about music industry. I have my eyes on who's the best & I know my right for my readers to agree. U want cover story, agree with my deal... but if u want inside story, I have NO REASON TO SAY NO with suitable amount of pages. U give me a headache, I'm gonna give U double headache. Fair to the extreme! Be nice...

When I first suggested Tomok as UTOPIA™'s cover, he was not yet the OIAM winner. I have my instinct on this fellow. I didn't listen to New Boyz but Tomok made me listen to him in OIAM. Now, I'm a big fan to his new single 'Rindu Terhenti' which for the 1st time I bought the single online through www.guamuzik.com.my for RM3!

RINDUKU TERHENTI

TELAH KU TINGGALKAN MEMORI SILAMKU ITU
TIDAK KU BIARKAN HIDUPKU DIBELIT PILU
WALAU DUKA MENAMPAR DADA
WALAU SEPI MENCALAR HATI
RINDUKU TERHENTI
KU PINGGIRKAN SAYU YANG MERUNDUNG KALBUKU
KASIH DULU KU BIAR BERLALU
KU PINGGIRKAN LARA YANG BERPAUT DI JIWA
KU TERUSKAN HIDUP TANPA DIA
PADAM NYALA PATAH TUMBUH, HILANG KAN BERGANTI
CINTA TIBA CINTA PERGI
YANG AZALI KU NANTI
KU LUPAKAN MU JUA DISINI
RINDUKU TERHENTI
SEJAK KAU PERGI MENJAUHI
RINDUKU TERHENTI

'LINKIN PARK: SONGS FROM THE UNDERGROUND' DI SINI

Dah namanya pun kipas-susah-mati LINKIN PARK/LP, jadi hari ni bila dapat jer CD promo terbarunya 'SONGS FROM THE UNDERGROUND', tanpa lengah... spin it on! More like a leftover trash to reveal from LP. But the soul of each track... respect! I just love 'HUNGER STRIKE' (originally by Pearl Jam). Sebagai dedikasi menjadi yang pertama di opis dengar album ni, saya lukis my expression in just 30 minutes! Muahaha!

I don't mind • Stealing Bread • From the mouths of decadence... • But I can't feed on the powerless • When my cup's already overfilled • But it's on the table • The fire's cooking • And they're farming babies and the slaves are all working... • Blood is on the table, the mouths are chokin'... • I'm goin' hungry... • I don't mind • Stealing Bread • From the mouths of decadence... • But I can't feed on the powerless • When my cup's already overfilled • But it's on the table • The fire's cooking • And they're starving babies • And the slaves are all working... • And it's on the table • The mouths are choking... • I'm going hungry...

LAPORAN INDUSTRI KOMIK MALAYSIA DI KOREA

GEMPAK STARZ™ pernah menerbitkan beberapa judul manhwa Korea dalam bahasa Melayu & merupakan penerbit komik rasmi yang pertama di Malaysia berbuat demikian. Malah Ayour gak memang tertarik dengan industri kreatif di sana selepas pernah menghasilkan artikel mengenai industri karakter flash diorang dalam buku mini STARZ No.1o (terselit dalam majalah GEMPAK™ isu 80 - 15/03/03). Jadi apabila diberi peluang menghasilkan artikel berkenaan industri komik Malaysia untuk salah 1 majalah diorang, Ayour ok jer. It was an honor to do! (Biarpun masa tu memang sibuk sangat dengan kerja² opis yang lain sampai my media people had to chase me for the article! :P).

Judul majalah ni ialah 'Komik Tangun: Manhoa Chongbor' (Vol.42 dated 12/11/08). Terjemahannya boleh semak di http://www.intercomicon.org/bbs/bbs_view.asp?board_id=online_col&cate_no=&gul_no=407&s_key=&s_word=&route=&page=1

Judul artikel Ayour dalam tulisan Hangul ni ialah 'Maloeingesenga: Manhoa Sangobngee ngyoksa'. Yang penting nama Ayour dalam Hangul disebut Pak-lul Nganul (Fakhrul Anour). Kalau Ayour jadi Ngayol... Huhu!

Ayour banyak menerangkan tentang sejarah bermulanya kartun & komik di Malaysia secara komersil sejak sebelum kemerdekaan lagi. Pastu tentang jenis² komik/kartun di Malaysia & evolusinya. Juga serba sedikit tentang kebanjiran komik/manga/manhwa cetak rompak sampai ada penerbit menghasilkan majalah manga cetak rompak tanpa disedari pengguna. Last but not least about GEMPAK STARZ™ yang menjadi penerbit komik tempatan yang paling berhasil & satu-satunya mempunyai novel grafik melebihi 100 judul!

Pada tahun 2003 Ayour pernah menulis sebuah artikel mengenai industri karakter di Korea Selatan. Maklum la masa tu orang kita dok gila² dengan Hello Kitty & Mashimaro tapi masih dok kutuk pelukis komik/kartun ni hanya membuang masa. Dengan artikel ni Ayour nak orang kita sedar hanya dengan mencipta sebuah karakter, korang gak boleh jutawan besar! Buktinya, Korea Selatan merupakan negara ketiga terbesar dalam industri rekaan karakter selepas US & Jepun. Insya-Allah kitorang pun nak galakkan kreatif kita naikkan nama Malaysia dalam industri ni. Boleh ka?!

MY ARTICLE OF COMIC IN MPH QUILL

I had a long written article about 'Malaysia Comic Industry' that I wrote back a year ago for a Korean magazine. Then for this magazine, I had to retouched & redone so my content & my narration will feel friendlier even to the primary school.

Not for sale! Only for MPH loyal customers & who collect MPH QUILL. This is issue 21 (Jan - March '09)! This issue really talks a lot about comic. Even Dr. Mahathir also turned into cartoon. For comic goers, you should get this issue. Pretty important for our knowledge of the industry itself.


That's me on the contributors' page!

My article was well edited here. Thanx to the editor, Tan May Lee (editorial@mph.com.my)

MY NAME THE PRIESTS MEMBER?!

First thing, I didn't even knew there is a religious singing group called The Priests. Second thing, when did I register to become a member in their official website? I was in the web last January 2009... funny. Most importantly I'm a trustworthy Muslim, my life devoted to Islam forever & eventhough I don't find it wrong to understand other religions. But being registered without my consent? All I can say... The Almighty Allah & Alhamdulillah. May it lead me to a good cause...

Well the good cause is... I was also being registered as a member for this young talent from UK. Ok... he will be in UTOPIA™ soon. Haha!
