Sedekad Di Bintulu


Hari ni genap 10 tahun aku bermastautin di Bintulu, dan secara tidak rasmi separuh hayatku telah dihabiskan di negeri orang berbanding negeri sendiri (Sabah). Sebelumnya, kira lapan tahun (1997-2005) aku berada di Penang - tiga tahun belajar, lima tahun bekerja.

Ok, aku tiba di Bintulu pada hari Ahad, 23/4/2006, hari yang sama Tun Ghafar Baba meninggal dunia. Bermalam di Mastama Inn, sebelum melapor diri di sebuah Jabatan Kerajaan pada hari berikutnya.

Imej cilok.
Serius, tanggapan pertama aku mengenai bandar Bintulu ketika mula-mula sampai memang agak negatif, seperti yang pernah diluahkan dalam blog ni suatu ketika dahulu (sebelum penjenamaan semula). Dan ada kalanya mencari ruang dan peluang untuk berpindah ke cawangan lain.

Tahun-tahun awal di Bintulu kehidupanku agak kurang stabil, susah untuk meneruskan hobi-hobi aku yang jenis "forever alone" seperti di Penang dulu (cinema, PC gaming). Atas kekangan bahasa juga agak sukar untuk aku bersosial.

Studio Amazika dalam kenangan.
Hanya selepas beberapa tahun kemudian (2009) bila dah berhobi gitar, barulah terasa dunia sosial aku agak berkembang sedikit.

Melalui Adi Herman dan Bob Kandar, aku dapat berkenalan dengan ramai pemuzik "bawah tanah" dan amatur lain di Bintulu - contohnya komuniti Metuk Ulau Underground Voices, Bintulu Buskers dan Bintulu Rockers Re-Union (geng kilauan emas, hahaha).


Bila dah selalu jamming, tertubuhlah sebuah kugiran bertema "just another cover band" yang gila-gila dan kemudiannya meletop selepas Oktoberfest 2012.

My greatest achievement in music so far...
Mungkin rezeki dan jodoh aku sudah ditakdirkan di Bintulu ni. Tapi kadang-kadang terfikir, kalau bukan di Bintulu, adakah gaya hidup aku masih sebegini? Oh ya, disebabkan blog AADI ni lebih kepada blog perhobian, jadi cerita 10 tahun berkaitan kerjaya, jodoh dan keluarga rasanya tak perlulah kan?

Betapa dalam badan ada banyak setan sekalipun, kita harus realise, segala apa dalam hidup kita berlaku kerana dengan izin Allah.
Allah ialah sebaik2 perancang. Walaupun betapa pedih, sedih, pedih, sedih, pedih, sedih, dan sedih dan sedih lagi hidup kita.
Sometimes, aku fikir, agaknya kalau setiap kita luahkan hati kat Yusuf Haslam, cerita hidup kita
Yusof Haslam akan cakap "impossible, ni kalau saya buat drama hidup awak, tentu orang cakap cerita ni dibuat2, dinasik tambah"..
but in truth thats life... and only each of us knows it inside our hearts.

Entri AADI Paling Popular Bulan Ini

Dari PC/Laptop Blogger... (Disclaimer)

Ini merupakan blog peribadi, tempat aku berkongsi maklumat, meluahkan perasaan mengikut kata hati sendiri, cerita dan berita dengan rakan-rakan bloggers (others are welcomed too)...

Kebanyakkannya merapu mengenai hobi-hobi aku - guitar/bass related stuff, jamming, gig/concert, eBay stuff, collections, metal/rock music, CD/DVD, PC/PS4 games, anime dan sedikit pasal kehidupan dan kerjaya aku di Bandar Bangau (Bintulu) ni... Dengan menggunakan bahasa rojak dan tatabahasa yang kadang-kadang tidak menepati spesifikasi Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka.

Penulis tidak akan bertanggungjawab atas segala kerosakan, kehilangan, kerugian dan kesedihan akibat pembacaan blog ini. Jadi, ada apa dengan Ijau?
