  • Hafiz Suip muncul dengan single berjudul “Terus Bersinar”

    Hafiz Suip, nama yang tak perlu diperkenalkan lagi dalam dunia seni. Bakat luar biasa yang dimilikinya telah membawa kariernya mencapai puncak kejayaan. Pelbagai pengiktirafan telah diterimanya, menjadikan namanya bersinar dalam liga tersendiri.

    Bercakap soal lagu, mana mungkin boleh melupakan lagu “Awan Nano”, “Noktah Cinta”, “Ku Akui”, “Bahagiamu Deritaku”, “Kisah Cinta Kita” dan banyak lagi. Malah, deretan lagu yang sudah dihasilkan masih menjadi siulan hingga kini.

    Daripada hubungan bersama bapa, adik beradik, suami isteri hingga kekasih, mesej yangdiketengahkan menerusi lagu yang dihasilkan cukup menyentuh hati. Bukan bersifat peribadi, tapi Hafiz cuba menyelami perasaan semua terhadap insan yang dicintai.

    Terbaharu, Hafiz, 33, atau nama sebenar Mohamad Hafiz Mohamad Suip muncul dengan single berjudul “Terus Bersinar” terbitan syarikat rakaman Nova Music.

    Menariknya, lagu “Terus Bersinar” yang bergenre balada itu membawa mesej untuk anak.

    “Sepanjang kerjaya, saya sudah merakamkan lagu yang menceritakan mengenai lumrah kehidupan yang semua orang lalui. Contohnya, lirik lagu Matahari mengisahkan hubungan kesusahan adik-beradik. Lagu Awan Nano pula menceritakan pengorbanan seorang ayah manakala lagu Kisah Cinta Kita adalah terjemahan kasih sayang antara suami dan isteri.

    “Jadi, untuk lagu Terus Bersinar ini, mesej yang ingin disampaikan pula adalah mengenai anak. Boleh dikatakan, dalam karier saya setiap lagu ada jalan ceritanya yang tersendiri dan semua lagu itu juga ada kisah kehidupan yang mempunyai mesej,” katanya.

    Berkongsi lanjut mengenai lagu itu, Hafiz berkata dia terus jatuh cinta dengan lagu itu ketika kali pertama mendengar melodinya.

    “Lagu ini masih lagi bergenrekan balada. Cuma ada sedikit sentuhan alat muzik tradisional Sarawak iaitu Sape, itu pun pada penghujung lagu. Masa pemilihan lagu ini, saya dengar lagu ini memang terus tertarik dengan melodi dan lirik. Itu yang membuatkan saya terus bersetuju untuk rakamkan sebagai single terbaru saya.

    “Kalau baca setiap bait lirik lagu ini, memang sesuai ditafsir berkaitan anak. Saya percaya lagu ini nanti insya-Allah mendapat tempat di hati pendengar. Begitu juga dengan video muzik lagu ini yang mana memang menceritakan mengenai ibu bapa yang menjaga dan membesarkan anak daripada kecil hingga besar. Pendek kata, anak itu ditatang bagai minyak penuh,” katanya.

    Mengenai kerjasama dengan Mas Dewangga, Hafiz bertuah kerana dapat merakamkan lagu ciptaan composer yang kian meningkat naik dengan sentuhan lagu balada yang mampu menarik perhatian pencinta muzik tanahair.

    “Mas Dewangga seorang composer yang bagus di mana bila saya dengar karya dihasilkan semuanya segar dan memang trend masa kini. Lagu balada yang dihasilkan diberi sentuhan yang membuatkan lagu itu bertambah sedap didengar.

    “Macam sekarang, peminat suka dengan lagu-lagu balada dari Indonesia. Jadi, apa saya perasan, karya Mas Dewangga pun ada sentuhan bunyi itu, kebetulan saya pun suka,” katanya.

    Dalam masa sama, Hafiz berharap lagu “Terus Bersinar” bakal menjadi sebuah karya pilihan dan diminati oleh semua seperti kebanyakan lagu-lagunya sebelum ini.

    “Insya-Allah, apa-apa pun kita berserah kepada Allah. Namun, tidak mahu terlalu berharap. Pun Begitu, saya sebagai penyanyi yang menyanyikan lagu ini, apa boleh dikatakan adalah saya dapat rasa mesej yang ingin disampaikan. Saya sendiri menangis. Jadi, harapnya peminat dan pendengar juga dapat merasainya, insya-Allah,” katanya.

    Menariknya, lagu “Terus Bersinar” turut dipilih menjadi lagu tema drama bersiri 30-episod terbitan Mache All Star United berjudul ‘Surat Dari Tuhan’ yang akan bersiaran di slot Samarinda, TV3 mulai 30 Oktober ’23.

    Single “Terus Bersinar” Hafiz Suip dipasarkan pada hari yang sama dengan Tarikh mula siaran drama bersiri tersebut dan boleh mula distrim di semua perkhidmatan penstriman muzik pada 30 Oktober ’23. Video muzik rasmi single tersebut juga boleh mula ditonton pada hari yang sama jam 3pm di saluran Youtube Nova Music Videos

  • RAAQUU, A LOCAL ARTISANAL BRAND TAKING A CONTEMPORARY APPROACH ABOUT ANCIENT JAPANESE POTTERY TECHNIQUES PRODUCING WORLD-CLASS CERAMIC ART

    KUALA LUMPUR, 16 November 2023 –About 15 years ago when Adil Abdul Ghani first polished Raku pottery while studying ceramics training program in Japan. He was immediately taken by the piece and found himself dig deep into the process of its creation called Raku – a firing technique for pottery that Its origins may be linked to the art of the ancient Japanese tea ceremony. Since then, Adil taking various bold steps to hone his expertise in all things Raku brings the establishment of a new company called RAAQUU CERAMIC ART (RAAQUU) in 2020.

     

    Within three years, RAAQUU has achieved a significant number of accomplishments. Adil’s brand of Raku with its five different type of finishes, namely full-copper matte, half-copper matte, smoked, carbon half-copper matte and obvara (a slightly varied technique of firing), has proven to be a hit both locally and internationally. In 2022 itself, RAAQUU recorded an unprecedented sales of more than RM1 million in ceramic art – gaining worldwide attention both online and offline in the process.

     

    According to Adil, “Raku ceramics are special because of the unpredictability of its firing technique. Just like our tagline, ‘Painted By Fire’, Raku firing is done in an extremely hot kiln and then removed while the ceramic piece is still red-hot or molten. Immediately after coming out of the kiln, the ceramic piece is then placed in a reduction chamber filled with sawdust or paper. The extreme heat from the ceramic piece then ignites the combustible material in the reduction chamber, which is then sealed for a while.”

     

    Adil continue to explain that what happens inside the reduction chamber is the key to the unique and unpredictable colours of each Raku ceramic piece. “At RAAQUU, each ceramic piece are different and cannot be reproduced. This makes each piece a unique work of art with its own story to tell. It is the main factor that drives the interest towards RAAQUU and made it into a coveted collector’s item.”

    RAAQUU’s products ranges from miniature vases that you could slip into your pocket, to experimental sculptural pottery pieces from its Life Magnified collection created by Adil as the brand’s Creative Director and Ceramicist. The variety of products especially the one-of-a-kind sculptures are created to spark interest on RAAQUU and create a talkability and shareability factor, which is extremely important in this day and age. They are made at RAAQUU’s operations base at Ara Damansara where the design studio  and management office are also located.

     

    Raw materials, mainly clays, are ethically sourced from Mukim Sayong in Perak, the birthplace of another design marvel, our very own ‘labu Sayong’ or ‘water calabash’, a Malay traditional earthenware water container. “I feel that the merge between the historical elements of Malaysia and Japan where local crafts are concerned has in itself taken RAAQUU to another level of distinction and gravitas”, quips Adil on another noteworthy feature of RAAQUU.

     

    Adil is currently busy preparing for RAAQUU’s first solo exhibition that is scheduled for mid January 2024. “We hope to show at least 20 large-scale sculptural pieces that have never been seen, and we will also be introducing our accessory items too. This is on top of RAAQUU’s most popular contemporary and functional home decoration products. For now, I must say that the RAAQUU team is fired up for our next phase of expansion. My focus is of course to ensure that RAAQUU maintains its level of artistry. We are in consistent R&D mode – researching and experimenting on how we could make our products better while still honouring the tradition and culture from which these incredible pieces came from”. He concluded, “In 2024, I am looking at collaborating with designers from any discipline to create other exciting and unique products for RAAQUU, and are keen to explore new partnerships especially in the retail industry. So far, RAAQUU’s partnerships with The Datai in Langkawi, FERN Batik Collective and Gudang have created various positive impact to the brand”, says Adil enthusiastically.

     

    RAAQUU currently ships to 32 countries worldwide and can be purchased online via www.raaquu.com where you can also find other in-depth information on the brand. RAAQUU is also available on Etsy, Amazon, Patreon etc. Terms and conditions apply.

  • War on Terror Unleashes Aedy Ashraf’s Thrilling Cop Persona, Showcasing HONOR X9b 5G’s Durability

    In celebration of the official launch of the HONOR X9b 5G, HONOR Malaysia orchestrated an engaging meet-and-greet session at its store in Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport, Bukit Bintang. This event was not just a product launch but a unique opportunity for fans to connect with Aedy Ashraf, the face of toughness in both the cinematic and technological realms.

    HONOR X9b 5G All-angle Ultra Tough

    After using the HONOR X9b 5G for a few months, Aedy shared his experience and expressed amazement at the phone’s toughness to his fans, mentioning that he never expected its screen to withstand a paint ball bullet. “I am impressed that the HONOR X9a 5G is exceptionally tough. At first, I did a test on the phone by smashing it against tin and glass, and both items shattered, while the phone remained unscratched and continued to function well. With this phone, I don’t need to worry about a cracked screen if it drops,” he said.

     

    Highlighting the phone’s robust build, it is noteworthy that the HONOR X9b 5G has achieved a five-star Overall Drop Resistance certification from the prestigious SGS certification authority in Switzerland. This certification solidifies the phone’s status as a device capable of withstanding various challenges, making it a reliable choice for users like Aedy who demand toughness in their daily use.

     

    Moreover, the HONOR X9b 5G stands out as the first mid-range phone in the Malaysian market equipped with a Qualcomm® Snapdragon® 6 Gen 1 chipset, ensuring a powerful and efficient performance for users.  

     

    5800mAh battery – Largest in its class 

    In terms of battery life, the HONOR X9b 5G has a capacity of 5800mAh, which Aedy finds very useful as his job mainly involves outdoor shooting where access to a power outlet is limited. “Even without a full charge, the battery lasted me for a whole day of use. I no longer need to carry around a power bank to work. Furthermore, I find the Sunrise Orange color of the HONOR X9b 5G and the back cover made of vegan leather attractive, giving the phone a stylish and premium look. I strongly recommend the HONOR X9b 5G to all Malaysians,” he added.

     

    In addition to Sunrise Orange, the HONOR X9b 5G is available in Titanium Silver and Midnight Black. Priced at just RM 1,499, the HONOR X9b 5G comes with irresistible freebies worth up to RM 759 which include the 365-Day Front & Back Crack Protection and HONOR CHOICE Earbuds X5.
