MuSiC??

The word music comes from the Greek mousikê (tekhnê) by way of the Latin musica. It is ultimately derived from mousa, the Greek word for muse. In ancient Greece, the word mousike was used to mean any of the arts or sciences governed by the Muses.

What does music means to you? One would consider it as an expression of feelings and emotions. Other would say that music is the arena of art. Whatever it is, music brings laughter, joy and even sadness. For me, music is a device that can change my mood. I am sure that everyone have their own favourite band or artists.. I have my own too, and here, i would like to share to all of you.

Grow up in a family with two brother brings me to a broader view of music since i was a kid. Frankly, my family members have their own type of music such as, my father listens to classics music, my mother listens to bollywood music, my first brother is more on heavy metal music, while my second brother is more on metal i guess.. It is not too much if i say that, I am influenced by those music.

Let's start with my father. Every morning on weekend he will listens to his music which is classic and golden oldies, this music that wakes me up. The examples of his favourite band are ABBA, The Beatles, and also P. Ramlee. I believe that these kind of music releases tension in mind and give a relax sensation.

Next is my mom. My mom used to listened to bollywood music during night. Her favourite actor would be Shah Rukh Khan and Pretty Zinta I guess,hehe.. Now, she still listens to bollywood or hindi songs, she even downloaded it to her phone.. Hmm..hindi words are so soft like "pyaar, ishq, aur, mohabbat". It is a film title yet means the same ; Love, love, love and love.

Let's move on to my eldest brother. I noticed that he often listens to heavy metal music and even buy their CD's. Some of his favourite band are Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Metallica and Led Zeppelin. For your information, he often go for jamming with his friends regardless time and places.. But now, I can see that he would also hears song from other genres that interest him.

Now its the turn for my second brother. When i was still studying in high school, I was aware that my brother loved to listen from System Of A Down and Slipknot band. He also listens to electro beat if Im not mistaken. Example of it is Bomfunk Mc's at that time. Now is even more! One of it is Steve Aoki. Not to forget, his Muse band.

What about me? I would say that i listens to every genre of song, friends labelled me as a 'universal' because of that. But i do have my own favourite band. I do not know why Im more on what i called 'grunge' music, 'rasta' or 'reggae' music, and 'ska' music. The example of those bands are, of coure Nirvana, Bob Marley, OAG, and Gerhana Ska Cinta. In addition, I loves to listen to System Of A Down (SOAD) song when Im bored, it energize me up!

This part is the best! If you haven't been to my house, you wouldn't see what is my living room full of. Well, there is mountain of CD's and DVD's! My father bought a theatre system for that too. My father also bought his MP3's, even my brother's and mine! Well, thanks dad, but mine is missing ;(

My family and my friends joke that we could open a music shop, haha!
