Sesame Street On Scrubs

There’s one thing about US Medical TV Shows that intrigues me this much, and that one thing is on how they can actually relates ‘Sesame Street’ in their show. This is a rendition of the ‘Sunny Day’ song by Joshua Radin on Scrubs. Love this ♥♥♥

Yuletide Spirit

It is 5 days, 12 hours, 3 minutes and counting before Christmas day. My friend Shane posted on her wall telling that the town seems to be quiet with less cars and people. Not a very typical Keningau setting, because this little town is always bustling with life all year round.

Well, perhaps, not for today.

If you’re a chap born and raised or you’ve worked and lived here in Keningau, you’ll catch the drift. But I guess it is pretty much like any other places. Now is the time when everyone will start to work their butts and end their day in beer or any of that sort. Canopies and camps would be erected, house would be sparkling clean, family starts gathering in anticipation of Christmas Day. Homes well decked with fake Christmas trees, plastic mistletoes, colors toned up to red and green, just nice to jumpstart the Christmas mood. It’s the ultimate Christmas concoction.

We do not have snow here, but with all the family members gathering, you can actually feel the warmth of unity and the love shared as one family that it makes you feel all cozy inside.

Yep, that’s the Yuletide Spirit.

As a child Christmas was an exciting event, but now as an adult it feels like a chore. Christmas has changed so much in recent years for me, that I don’t look forward to it anymore. It’s to commercial and people don’t think about the real meaning of Christmas.
In the 1980’s when I was a child , I couldn’t wait for Christmas and all that goes along with it. Family was a very important part of the season. We had cousins, aunts, uncles, even people I never met that were related to us came over to our house. I can remember watching the women making all kinds of biscuits, the men prepping and decking the house, and all of us kids messing around. The entire family would eat dinner together, obviously I sat at the kid table. Through out Christmas Eve, their was a lot of music playing ,laughter, and warmth. Once everyone ate and it started to get late, it was time to put the kids to bed. I would try really hard to go to bed, but I was so excited it was difficult. So I would stay up and try to listen to the adult conversations.

Then as the next day dawns on us, we would all sports our newest clothes, pampered ourselves and went to the church for the Christmas Mass. The sheer enjoyment, that wonderful, intense aura of joy ~

Christmas. It is about the birth of Jesus Christ, and with that in mind, we gathered together united as a family. As the evening approached, the smell of Christmas dinner excited me. This was the time I had waited for all day. My stomach rumbled with hunger and I could smell the roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and the sight of the colorful foods ; it was wonderful. The supply of food was tremendous, more than I could ever imagine. The table looked like a royal feast. The sparkling crystal, beautiful arrangement of flowers placed so neatly in the middle of the table and the light brown of the glazed turkey made our eyes gleam with anticipation. The family gathered around the spectacular table setting, and my Uncle said grace. When the feasting began, the room turned silent, as everyone savored every breath-taking bite. Christmas dinner is the best meal of the year, because so much time and effort is put into making everything perfect. Every year after Christmas, I think about how the holiday means so much more than Santa, parades, and singing. It truly is about celebrating Jesus Christ, having family unity and eating Christmas dinner as a family. I will never forget the years.

Yep, that’s the Yuletide Spirit.

Merry Christmas Friends ^^

Yesterday and Today

This is another one of those songs which I would really relate my life with. I do not know the meaning of the lyrics, but I know it is just as good. This reminded me of my pinnacle moments back in 2003/2004 when I was at the peak of my career =)



The song is catchy, clean cut and I really like the sound of the English Horn at the background. Classic.

Pilot of the Airwaves, Hear My Request....

It is strange when you would listen to some music and those old memories would come cascading on you. I remembered that my childhood revolves around Disney and Sesame Street but this particular country oldies number really jump start my roller coaster ride down memory lane. I don't know whether you guys are even familiar with this song, but I felt compelled to share it with you ^_^

Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don't have to play it
But I hope you'll do your best
I've been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me

Or a record of your choice
I don't mind
I'd be happy just to hear your voice
Saying this is for the girl
Who didn't sign her name
Yes, she needs a dedication just the same

Late at night I'm still listening
Don't waste my time chasing sleep
People say I look weary
But that 's just the company I keep

Ooooh, you make the nighttime race
Ooooh, I don't need to see your face
You're sounding good (sounding good)
Sounding good to me

Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don't have to play it
But I hope you'll do your best
I've been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me

Late at night I'm still listening
Don't waste my time chasing sleep

Ooooh, I don't need to see your face
You're sounding good (sounding good)
Sounding good to me

Sesame Street and Me...

" A man landed on the moon; a little weekend music festival mushroomed into Woodstock. And a big yellow bird and his fuzzy friends took up residence on a street where the air is always sweet and the sky is always sunny.

The year 1969 was a busy one for big events, and 40 years later, lots of anniversaries are popping up at the intersection of history and pop culture. But when it comes to stirring whirlwinds of memories and before-and-after reflections, the debut of Sesame Street is at the top of the list. " TOM MAURSTAD, Media Critic

I remembered it all so well. I've always been fascinated by those muppets of all colours and sizes, each with their own distinctive personalities. Most of all, I've always enjoyed the show (and don't mind watching the reruns all over again). It's like Barney or Tigger and Friends for the kids that grew up in this part of the century. But Sesame Street has always been my favorite. Back then, when there was no ASTRO or any cable television, I would sit in front of the telly watching an hour of the show on RTM1 and then switch to RTB (Radio Televisyen Brunei) to watch the rerun of the program. My parents said I caught up with most of the songs the muppet sang ( personally I like Ernie's and Kermit's rendition the best) and at the wee age of four, I started counting with Count Von Count. I remembered chuckling to Grover's antics, and Cookie Monster affection towards anything round in shape (like the letter 'O') where he'll eat up the entire thing when he's out of his regular chocolate chip cookies (so I've noticed) and I even wondered how deep was Oscar's bin, where sometimes his voice echoes inside. This is the show when I first heard of the song "Sing" sang by Luis and Maria in the show, which is later in my life, I got to know that the original singer was actually Karen Carpenter from The Carpenters, and this was the very show that taught me to speak and spell in English. I owed so much to this show for what I am now; I can converse English well today because part of my early learning includes Sesame Street on the menu.

After 40 years, the show still stands. Even though Jim Henson deceased some time during the show's pinnacle moment, it never cracks them down. They've vowed to continue Henson's legacy to this day. Honestly, I cannot imagine living in this world without those muppets and Sesame Street. I've always been their loyal fan, and I am still now. This is no ordinary show. It was intelligently crafted by teachers and educational experts, and they even have their own curriculum. It is an intelligent show, produced by intelligent people, manned by fluffy and colourful and yes, intelligent actors and meant to make kids intelligent along the way. Happy Anniversary Sesame Street.
