Am currently getting the lyrics for Lobo songs for my Dad. Bought the CD for him last year as Christmas gift. Dad and I have similar interests in music though he draws the line at my LP music and hard rock and metal stuffs.Meanwhile, I draw the line at dangdut-influenced musics (which explain greatly why I'm not a big fan of local Dayak music).
I grew up to the sounds of those oldies music, country rock and Boney M. Uh-huh. Boney M. Those kembang afro hair and huge bell bottom pants. I can still sing to their songs until now. Hehe.
What about mum? She only listens to her P.Ramlee and Saloma songs with other Malay oldies singer though she loves the King of Rock-n-Roll (jambul gila dahsyat and pout can beat A.Jolie's anytime) Elvis Presley. She detests my noisy music. Not much similarity in music preference with her.
Maybe its because I'm more close with my Dad (repairing cars, bikes, building stuffs) and am a tomboy by nature and Mum simply can't turn me into that sweet-clean-demure little girl. I tore the new dress that she made for me in a matter of few hours (I climbed trees in it. Trees and cute frock don't match). I am hopeless at knitting / crocheting (yuck!) and I can't sit and be quiet and do all those girly stuffs that girls my age do. I'm most likely to be seen on the trees (now I am afraid of heights!), bushes, top of the water tank tower (you should hear my mum scream. priceless! but I got grounded for that. Shucks!), usually playing street football with the boys(This was in late 80's, we created futsal). Even some boys can't take what I did and those poor sissy mummy's boy ran back to their mommies. Hehe *evil grin*
p/s: For any poor sissy mommies boy I've ever hurt their feelings, uh, sorry?

Proposal is finally polished up. Many thanks to DeeJay for helping me wth much appreciated feedbacks and comments. :) Miraculously didn't blast the house roof off with my LP music but with silence and the sound of the rain.

Tomorrow I'm going to Kch. Dunno what time will be going, and by what (bus or boat). Will definitely catch up with friends once I'm there.
Time to play my LP music :-D

Actually went to a Lobos Concert a few months ago. They ROCK !!!!
The introductory band was Orishas.
I think I'll buy a few Lobos albums.
