As Shabab The Album




  • Even we lost to Kamil, I still don't want As Shabab to just stop there
  • So, we come out with an idea to produce As Shabab Album 
  • The album consist of their two hit songs: Guru Pelita and Akidah Kukuhh Sahsiah Terpuji
  • Provided together their life performances and MTV for that two singles
  • Our targeted market is only among SMKCR's resident and only sold with affordable price: RM5 per copy
  • Design for album cover: Credits to Syahmin Adnann

MTQ Nasyid (PPD Level)




  • So happy that As Shabab made it to the next level
  • Still sang Akidah Kukuh Sahsiah Terpuji and Guru Pelita but did some changes to the 1st song music arrangment
  • We got 2nd place and lost to SMK Kamil. So we didn't make it through to represent PPD Pasir Puteh
  • But, I have few arguments regarding to SMK Kamil's winning 
    • Their 1st song didn't follow the theme "Akidah Kukuh Sahsiah Terpuji"
    • Their background singer didn't use any expressions and movements
    • I'm questioning: if the judges were really qualified? coz they seem like they don't read and understand the requirements
    • The lyric's judge argues on the usage of "aku" in our 2nd song: Guru Pelita. "Kau guruku yang baik, cuba lihat aku disini". For her, "aku" is so rude to be used toward teachers. In my defend, when you pray to Allah, do you say "aku" or "saya"?
  • One week after that, PPD had a meeting and Ustaz did brought this issues to them. They did agree with the arguments but the result could not be taken back. Ridiculous! 
  • Anyway, I'm still proud of my team and we've work so hard to be where we are now. We'll try again next year!

SMK Cherang Ruku

  • Located in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan
  • Posted here on September 2010
  • I thought it was SMK Agama at first coz all the boys here are wearing songkok
  • As usual, my 1st day there was not really welcomed by the students. Might be coz I don't speak their language
  • I'm teaching form 2 
  • Got lot of things that I need to do here, first is changing their mindset about English
  • Due to their typical mindset, I was called Sir Mat Salleh Celup, Sir Budu, Sir Koya and etc (But who CARES!)

Musical Theater of Puteri Gunung Ledang

  • My 2nd project in SMK Taman Bunga Raya (1)
  • Involved approximately 90 students from form 2, form 3, form 3, form 4 and form 5
  • Inspired by Datin Tiara Jacquelina original PGL Musical Theater
  • We have limited resources for the props and clothing so I mix and match everything
  • Combination between acting and dancing
  • Directed by me and with some help from Puan Latifah 
  • I love the part where Puteri Gunung Ledang told her 7 conditions to Tun Mamat. We deliver this conditions by combining elements of singing and dancing, it look quite mystical as well
  • Offered by the PPD Hulu Selangor to be performed during PPD Teacher's day but was canceled. (coz I was posted here to Kelantan)
  • Performed on my last week there, and it was quite sad (watch the making clip)
  • Due to this project, I've requested to be posted there again. Unfortunately, I was sent to Kelantan
