Hoiii!!
Ala payung lah payung, ketipang payung, Payung sutera nak raja muda, Ala tolong lah tolong, cik abang tolong, Jangan lah marah pada adinda...

Daun mengkudu bercabanglah cabang, Tempat temasya semut kerengga, Tidakkah rindu.. (ooooii kepadalah abang) Menunggu masa hai serumah tangga...

Tudung Periok is an original song from Tan Sri P. Ramlee and also Puan Sri
Saloma.
It is a 1957 song from the movie Sumpah Orang Minyak (Curse
of the Oil People). Oh! Oh it's like that. The lyrics should be a bit deep.
Tudung periuk pandai menari..( The lid of the pot is good at
dancing ..)
Meaning when the rice we cooked had boiled and sealed until
the lid danced on the lip of the pot earlier, but the rice that became the rice
still did not fall to the ground. It gives meaning elders Previous Malay defend
this homeland from falling into the hands of foreign nations Although also
forced to risk their lives for the sake of our children and grandchildren in
the future so as not hungry and sad.
Menarilah tarian putera mahkota. (Dance the crown prince
dance.)
Mean follow orders and to raise the degree of loyalty to the
Malay race as king to rule the country. But in the next verse gives a very sad
meaning.
Kainlah yang buruk berilah kami untuk mengelap si air mata.
(Give us the bad cloth to wipe away the tears ..)
It carries a meaning that really disappoints the hopes of
the ancients when the meaning of the cloth is bad give us. means the Malay race
today so expect compassion can take shelter at home despite having lost in
their own land, and live in anguish, looking at all that are defended by the
elders wilt have fallen into foreign nations. Updates could only cry wilt see
the pride of the nation has been taken by foreigners.
Deep is not the meaning of the lyrics of the song. Finally,
I can also understand the meaning I want to convey. So there is sadness when
you know the story.

"Lost - But Still He Loves You" is written by John Willard Peterson (November 1, 1921 – September 20, 2006) was a songwriter who had a major influence on evangelicalChristian music in the 1950s through the 1970s. He wrote over 1000 songs, and 35 cantatas.
In 1953, he graduated from the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago and shortly thereafter settled in Pennsylvania to continue his songwriting career. He then moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where for over ten years he was President and Editor-in-Chief of Singspiration, a sacred music publishing company. While there, he compiled and edited a hymnal called "Great Hymns of the Faith", (c) 1961. He also served on the board of Gospel Films, Inc. of Muskegon, Michigan.
He also had direct contact with popular Christian musicians of the day such as Bill Pearce and Dick Anthony. He resided in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he continued to write music. Peterson died September 20, 2006, aged 84, following a bout with prostate cancer.
Some of his more popular song titles include "It Took a Miracle", "Over the Sunset Mountains", "Heaven Came Down", "So Send I You", "Springs of Living Water", "Jesus is Coming Again", "Surely Goodness and Mercy", "This is the day that the Lord hath made" and "O Glorious Love". His cantatas include Night of Miracles and Down From His Glory.
"Enjit-Enjit Semut is a traditional children song that comes from the area of Batanghari, Jambi Province in Sumatra, Indonesia. Traditional songs from Jambi usually resemble poems." -Lin
The chorus is sometimes chanted alone as part of a game.
Game Instructions:
Two or more people play in a circle. Each person puts a hand on top of the hand of the player next to them while pinching the hand beneath theirs until all of the hands are stacked one on top of the other. It sort of looks like ants on top of each other. Then they start chanting the chorus over and over. After each line, the hand on the bottom goes up to the top.

Putra Putri was written by James Boyle. To his many students, 44-year-old James P.S. Boyle is as dedicated a teacher as his late father James W. Boyle. Popularly called Jimmy Boyle, he taught at St Xavier’s Institution and had maintained his teaching position till he passed away in 1971 at 49.
This son of the Penang Eurasian behind the iconic Putera Puteri (sometimes spelt Putra Putri), the Penang State anthem called Untuk Negeri Kita, Jauh Jauh, Ingat Ingat, Bunga Negara, Sang Bayu, Ke-Hulu Ke-Hilir, Pantun Melayu, Gemaran Bulan, and other songs, is personable and an easy conversationalist about jazz music.
All set to perform on the main stage of the 12 + 1 Penang Island Jazz festival come Dec 3, James says: “It’s a blessing really to be Jimmy Boyle’s son although I never knew him!”
A Boh Cameronian award-winning music director and graduate of Boston’s Berklee College of Music, James has been with Aswara (then ASK) since 1999. For the Penang festival, he will perform with Ruslan Imam, an Aswara colleague, on bass and Ruvi Imam on drums as the James Boyle Trio. It’s a tag that harkens back to his late dad’s Jimmy Boyle Trio.
“It’s a pleasant invitation, to be part of the festival. Paul (Augustin, the organiser) knew of the main movers of music in Penang, including my dad and he has great passion for jazz.”
It’s not the first time jazz lovers will see James at the festival as he had performed on the main stage in 2006, under James Boyle And The Ragged Tigers, and in 2010 while he had some fun in the Fringe festival over the years. “It’s my favourite jazz festival. Everybody’s genuine, and they are there for the music.
“The beach, the hills around the site, the waves lappin, the environment is perfect for the music.”
The show will be a Boyle on Boyle tribute. “It’s great to be able to rework some of my dad’s songs. I will have two singers — Bizhu and Liyana Fizi — on stage.
“It’s only a 40-minute set, and as Jimmy Boyle had more than 350 songs, we’ll be doing some tunes that people may not have heard before.”
James has also written a book, The Music And Legacy Of Jimmy Boyle, which will be on sale after the show.
He is as excited about performing as he is about doing a workshop for the festival. “I’ll be talking about Jimmy Boyle, from my point of view and detached from who I am to him — musician, composer, educationist, never as my dad.”
He expects the session to be lively as there are still many Penang folks and musicians who recall Jimmy Boyle, the man and his works. James’ late dad will have a special place in the new Penang House of Music on the 4th floor of Komtar.
According to the Facebook page, the Penang House of Music is a curation of Penang’s popular music heritage with faithful depictions of the era. Showcased are Penang’s popular music from the 1940s to 1960s, a feature on communal music, a recreation of a radio booth and cinema, and a resource centre where visitors may discover an ever-growing vinyl collection, newspaper clippings, previously unreleased recordings, audio and video interviews.
Says James: “I’ve recorded Chendering (another famous Jimmy Boyle tune about a beach in Terengganu) with Bizhu, which will be played at the Penang House of Music. Dad was a great fan of the Malaysian landscape.
“Jimmy Boyle was consigned to do patriotic songs then, and we need to have more of such songs today. “The Penang House of Music is a tribute to our music legacy. Most of the musicians from that era came from Penang. David Yeoh, Ahmad Merican, Ahmad Nawab. and of course, Jimmy Boyle.”
The Penang House of Music is another brainchild of Paul Augustin. “Music matters to Paul, and that’s one reason why the Penang Jazz Festival has lasted for 13 years.
“The artistes who are invited to perform are different from the big names at other jazz festivals. I go to the Penang festival to absorb new sounds. It also connects with audiences, and there is space for young musicians too, giving them a platform to perform, which is not the same scene as clubs.”
For James, there is a dearth of jazz festivals in Malaysia today, and even the jazz clubs don’t last very long.
“The love for jazz music must begin from the grassroots level. People must relate to how the artistes developed their style. It’s important to know who you like, and the struggles the artiste has gone through to come up with their sound.
“When I was learning, in the 1980s, it was Sting, and when his album Dream Of The Blue Turtles came out, I bought the cassette. I had to find out who the engineer for the drum sound was, the studio it was recorded in, that kind of thing.”
James has performed with many Malaysian music luminaries over the years, including the late Paul Ponnudorai. “It was Paul Ponnudorai And The Handsome Coconuts on television. It was a great learning curve for me.”
Paul, who died in 2012, had himself backed up most of Malaysia’s greatest recording artistes including Datuk Sudirman Arshad and had co-produced his hit song, One Thousand Million Smiles, with jazz maestro Michael Veerapen.
Adds James: “It’s not a good sign when a student is asked to name a favourite jazz player, and he tells you he just clicks on YouTube and google.
“It’s scary, it says the young are taking things for granted. We should know who Ahmad Merican, Alfonso Soliano and ‘that Jimmy Boyle guy’ was.
“It’s embarrassing that the young know more about Mozart’s life than P. Ramlee’s. Honour starts from the home. Honour your own, before others. Honour our own heroes first. It’s about a sense of patriotism. It’s important.
“As for the Boyle on Boyle show, it’s up to me to leave the legacy of Jimmy Boyle, however I can for the future generations.”

Satu Malaysia was written in Limkokwing University of Creative Technology and originally
sung by Ronnie and Ernie.
The aspirations of Satu Malaysia is truly embedded not only in the celebration of the 48th Malaysia Day, but it is also embodied in “Satu Malaysia“, a beautiful song created by some of the great talents at LimKokWing University of Creative Technology.
Truly the essence of Satu bangsa, Satu negara [1 people, 1 nation] is echoed in this song. Truly the mantras “seia, sekata, sehati, sejiwa,” [one thought, one voice, one heart, one spirit] radiate brightly from this song. It is through this spirit of Oneness that Malaysians can heal themselves of differences and deficiencies and henceforth march towards attaining transformational change. Change for the better based on industry, diligence, fairness and merit.
If history could repeat itself, then Malaysians should emulate South Korea’s successes. In the 1960s Malaysia’s GDP was 3 times the GDP of South Korea. Today, the situation is reversed. South Korea’s GDP is 3 times bigger than Malaysia’s. Similarly, Korea’s GDP was slightly lower than that of the Philippines 50 years ago.Today Korea is a first world nation and richer than Saudi Arabia. But, I am hopeful that Malaysians can do it. With a true 1Malaysia spirit that transcends class, race, religion and culture. Embrace boldy the true spirit of 1Malaysia and proclaim Malaysia Boleh [Malaysia Can (Do It)].
Malaysians must not be paralysed by fear from contributing towards nation building. Prosperity and Peace, Happiness and Harmony and many others aspirations are important yarns that must be woven into a uniquely Malaysian fabric. A national “songket” that reflects a multi-racial, multi-religious Malaysian society intertwined with Satu Bangsa, Satu Negara threads from every citizen.
Malaysians should be encour- aged and emboldened by Goethe’s words of wisdom, “Boldness has Genius, Power and Magic in it.” Because Malaysia Boleh, go boldly transforming Malaysia into a developed nation that will be for the benefit for all.
