An unpredictable 2017

2017 has been a real rollercoaster ride.
From nothingness, to finally releasing my first single and be given the opportunity to pursue what I really love... MUSIC!

Of course at times I get frustrated when I feel like my journey just halted and I'm lost in stalemate. But then i remembered again of how it FEELS like time is flying but in reality, this ride is just taking off.

I literally joined the music industry in the early stage of 2017...yes, this year itself! With the release of Pulau Hijau on March, I've had my share of thrills and scares. It was fun and im hoping there's more to come!
How can I ask for more when Im still the underdog (or fresh meat) of the Malaysian music industry?
After all, as unpopular I am in the music scene still...who'd knew I'd have my song playing onboard 2 major airlines in the country? Right?

But thinking back of all I've managed to still do without the backing or sponsors of major music labels, I think I'm... goooooood 😎

Thank you for all the blessings bestowed upon me in 2017 and to all my friends, family, ummm...fans (?), I thank you for all the love shown towards me and I hope you will continue to shower me with support 😘

In return, I hope i am able to provide more in return for 2018.

CHEERS TO DREAMING AND CHASING THEM 🌟

'GIVE ME' hits all the right notes!

Greetings blogger world, time for some music update!
Ready for a night out? Wanna get that beat going to warm yourself up in the car or at home as you get dressed for the weekend?

Listen to this! https://youtu.be/WgHhdtf7XS8

GIVE ME is the first single from Malaysia's new upcoming jazz-pop princess, USHERA!
Released about 2 months ago, Give Me is definitely a breath of fresh air to the Malaysian music industry. Infused with a mix of pop, jazz and dance influences, GIVE ME is definitely unlike any other (100%) Malaysian-made dance track.
This upbeat song  tells her own failed love story on overcoming heartbreak and moving on.
The song starts off with a classic scenario about meeting someone in a cafe and falling in love but then, took the unexpected turn of being left out in the dark yet ended up with a mighty force of self-motivation and (dare I say) GIRL POWER!

Ushera has been in the underground local music scene for close to 6 years now, performing in music lounges, clubs and a high demand for private events. I speak for thousands when I say that she indeed makes herself noticed whenever she hits the stage. 
Recently nominated for NEWMAN'S Creative Pioneer Awards (music catagory), we are promised for more surprises from this goddess of music in the months to come and her debut single 'Give Me' shouts out that statement loud and clear!

Don't believe me? Check it out yourself...
GIVE ME is now available on iTunes, Google music and the official music video has been released on VEVO and YouTube.

HATE MALAYSIA?

There is a new Trending Topic on Twitter at the moment that has grabbed attention around the world and stress among Malaysians and Indonesians.

HATE MALAYSIA.

How did it all started and when?
Since Malaysia won the AFF Suzuki Cup against Indonesia yesterday.
Its been rumoured that the cause of Malaysia's win was by the help of lasers used among the audience. Not only has this 'distracted' the indonesian football team, but it also made Malaysia a cheating winner.

Now, i was never interested in the football match to begin with and the first thing i posted on my facebook status was > "im not bothered about which team will win, but instead im more interested to see the damage of the stadium after the match..."
Little did i know that the stadium ended up unscratched and it was Twitter that became the punching bag!

Yes, the Indonesian has planned smart and taken a BIG step to shame Malaysia to the world.

It is indeed an unfair war. To compare the amount of twitter users in Indonesia and Malaysia is a win-lose situation. Thus 'HATE MALAYSIA' is bound to 'trend'.

But did the Malaysian team really cheated? Was the Indonesian team suppose to celebrate their winning victory? Was it all a MISTAKE?
There's no denying that the use of lasers nowadays are growing popular among asian countries. One can get a high-quality laser for about RM80. Its common to see the use of such laser in clubs and party events.

But as in this case, it takes more than just a LASER for a football team to lose out on 3 goals!
If THIS is what lasers can do, then move over missiles, LASERS ARE THE NEW BOMB!

So the Indonesians are blaming on distraction?
First of all, this is a football match. A football match, such as these, are played in an open stadium in the sight of thousands of screaming fans among other noise makers. If a whole team cant keep focus and lose concentration over a laser then it's all the more proof that they were trained to play privately in a closed, quiet stadium somewhere hidden in the tropical rainforest of mystical Java.

( Let me remind you that they LOST out on 3 GOALS here..> 3 < is a big number )

There is no excuse whatsoever on how Malaysia has cheated in the game. If it is proven cheated, then flag up the red card!

This just prove that some Indonesian ( stress out on SOME ) just can't see Malaysia claim victory to anything. It is indeed, a TABOO in their country.

Jealousy is all it is to make this 'trending topic' an internet war of words.

tsk tsk
