Small guitar called Ukulele.


How to pronounce Ukulele? it just simply like this (ew-ke-lay-lee) but some people pronounce (ew-ku-ley-ley). Sometimes it can be abbreviated to uke. It is a chordophone classified as a plucked lute; it is a subset of the guitar family instruments, generally with four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings.

Tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.

It is absolutely gives you a different sound than a normal guitar, how it sounds? you can check it out on youtube. The pattern of how you strumming the uke is obviously and absolutely different than a normal guitar, and the chords are also different. Moreover, the standard tuning for uke is also different than a normal guitar.

The standard tuning for soprano, concert, and tenor ukuleles is C-tuning, g'c'e'a'. The g string is tuned an octave higher than might be expected. This is known as reentrant tuning. This standard tuning is often sung to the mnemonic "My Dog Has Fleas." Some prefer "Low G" tuning, with the G in sequence an octave lower. The baritone is usually tuned to d g b e' (low to high).

Four sizes of ukuleles are common: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. There are also less common sopranino and bass ukuleles at the extreme ends of the size spectrum.

The soprano, often called "standard" in Hawaii, is the smallest, and the original size ukulele. The concert size was developed in the 1920s as an enhanced soprano, slightly larger and louder with a deeper tone. Shortly thereafter, the tenor was created, having more volume and deeper bass tone. The largest size is the baritone, created in the 1940s.

If you are interested to can easily find it in music stores, Bentley, Yamaha, etc and I also bought one at Bukit Bintang. Here are some photos of ukulele.

Dalam mimpi aku, kau datang
Selalu.

Apa maknanya? Aku risau.

Kenapa mesti aku? Kenapa aku,
Aku nampak kau sentiasa mengejar aku.
Aku kosong, aku tak punya apa-apa.
Cuma hati yang besar,
untuk orang-orang yang disayang.
Aku mahukan itu, aku mahukan ini
kau tetap mahukan yang sama.

Kenapa?

Kau punya segala, aku cuma derita.
Campak segala sisa waktu bersama,
kerana aku tak punya ingin untuk setia.
Bila aku beri percaya, kau sia-sia.
Bukan pulangannya benci,
tapi sangsi. Betul aku sangsi.
Aku mahu kau pergi, pergi jauh.
Jauh dari dua anak mata,
Jauh dari hati yang hiba.

Pergi.

Comfort and easy.



Fipper!

I bet you all know what is Fipper. It's come out with variety of colors, and it's also blend into two colors in one pattern. It is like an "in-thing" stuff which youth now a days are prefer to use Fipper as their daily slipper.

Besides that, it also made from a good material which is they use a high quality of rubber, it makes you feel comfortable and confident while wearing Fipper. The price is very affordable and reasonable to buy, it's equal to the quality. Fipper is easy to find which you can find it in mini market, uptown and so on.

So far Fipper plays a different role in slipper market which the design and colors easily can attract people to buy. It comes in several patterns which in two types or shapes, one is women and another one is for men. But for men are actually women can wear as well, but for women the cutting is a little bit more girlish and tiny.

Fipper has their official boutique at Sungei Wang, you can find most of patterns and colors at the boutique. For more information you can check it out at www.fipperslipper.com.my, feel the rubber!

Fashionista.






Basically I know nothing about fashion, i don't know what is up coming fashion and all. By observing, I've improved my knowledge time by time. Yes, I know nothing but I love fashion, I love seeing women in style.

For me, fashion is not about something that you need to wear all branded and so on. As you know to mix and match, to fill up the style with your own, it is going to be your own style. Reference, yes it is good for your own but it doesn't mean you need to copy everything. Create some identity of yourself.

If you know how to fill it up, top it up, mix it up, there you go with your creation, with your own
identity. I don't think that it is necessary to copy everything what's people wearing, and you always feel like you won't miss the "in-thing" stuffs. So that people will not label you as
"out-dated" person.

Bundle. I know some of you will feel terrible if I talk about bundle stuff, but i don't think it is disgusting as what you think. Yes I do buy some of bundle stuff, and i don't feel disgusting about that, most of women now a days won't buy any bundle stuff because they don't want to look "ew". But who cares? If you feel afraid of telling your friends that you are wearing bundle stuff, then keep it shut. Here are few tips buying for bundle stuff.

1. Buy something which look "rare"
2. Still in good condition
3. Not too expensive, the price must be align with the quality

Here are some photos that I think probably fashion of teenage's dream.
