It has been raining steadily since we got home from Shah Alam after registering Ikram at Uitm. Not the thunder and lightning kind of rain but just pouring rain with strong winds but not lashing ones. Just like when you cried and your tears just rolled down without stopping. It drizzled off, stopped for a while as if it was kind of tired, and started pouring its content from the skies again. ;-{{ Yet, life goes on.
Akmal loves oldies. He used to describe himself as .."usia muda tapi jiwa tua..". Besides, when he was at SDAR, every batch had its own batch song. His batch was named "Warisan 0408" after the song "Warisan" by the late Sudirman. They were fiercely attached to this song and tried to live up to its lyrics. They acknowledged themselves as "Warisan" batch. Ikram, on the other hand, was the "Gemilang 0711" batch after the song "Gemilang" by Ella. The numbers reflected their years in that school i.e. from Form 1 to Form 5. I guess I was partly to be blamed because I loved Sudirman's song. They were part of me during the years in Kelantan. When I was there, the late Sudirman was divorced from his wife whom he loved dearly. That was in the 80's. All his songs after that reflected his broken heart. It was just the therapy I needed.
The most loved song was "Terasing" as the lyrics reflected what I was going through at that time of my life. Then, it was "Merisik Khabar". "Hujan" as stated by Akmal was a song of a meeting and a song of parting. Enjoy the videos below by one of the most talented and respected singers of our time i.e through the 80's and early 90's
