Al-fatihah...

Semalam gi rumah Bob just to lepak. Rumah kelam-kabut sikit in the midst of rearranging sebab Anding dan Ikram pindah masuk. Meriah la jadinya at least tak sunyi sangat rumah Bob.

Planning nak gi tengok Tanggang agik ngan Bob, so that can ajak Along gi supper lepas abih pementasan malam terakhir.

Tapi dalam pukul 8, Anding balik dari gym, kata dia dapat SMS yang Bat Latiff da ninggal. Kelam-kabut la masing-masing calling nak confirmkan.

To cut a long story short, kita plan tuk gi pay our last respects. Semua pakai boria hitam, and we piled into my car redah carik rumah arwah. Last-last jumpa...tapi masa tu da nak bawak jenazah ke rumah Ogy. So pas lepak jap, we made a move.

Sempat jumpa kak Ogy to wish condolences...ramai gak dari industri yang hadir...it was touching, because at moments like this, you see the much needed togetherness of the industry in coming together...evenm though it's to mourn the loss of a loved one.

Sadly enough...there was more sense of camaraderie than at AIM....I know it's morbid to draw comparisons, but just can't help thinking that the new generation of artistes and practitioners in the local music industry...are somehow just so removed from the human side of the craft.

OK...nak sambung keja wat obituary arwah...
