about

And the moral of the story is…

lyrics

The sun was shining, I was easing
Breezing on down the road
When I ran into a fella who apparently
Was struggling with a heavy load
His back was bent and his eyes were glued
(Glued to the pavement)
Er, mister, are you looking for something
(I said) and can I help in any way?
Well, he didn’t reply, he just shuffled on by
But as he passed I heard him sigh:

CARI MAKAN, CARI MAKAN
I’M ONLY LOOKING FOR FOOD (CHA-CHA-CHA)
CARI MAKAN, CARI MAKAN
EVERYBODY’S LOOKING FOR FOOD

Man oh man you must be hungry, I said
As I ran after him with a loaf of bread
No thanks, he said, I’ve already had lunch
And I usually have my breakfast in bed
Then why are you plodding up & down the street
Acting like you’re looking for something to eat?
He said, “Young man, you gotta think about your next meal!”
And proceeded there & then to wheel & deal (cha-cha-cha)

CARI MAKAN, CARI MAKAN
CARI MAKAN NOON & NIGHT
CARI MAKAN, CARI MAKAN
LOOKS LIKE THERE’S NO END IN SIGHT

FOOD IS SO HARD TO FIND/CARI MAKAN, CARI MAKAN
LIFE IS ONE LONG GRIND/CHA-CHA-CHA CARI MAKAN

What happens then, I asked my friend
What happens to you when you get to the end?
Makan angin lah – I’ll eat the wind
Why, I’ll eat the wind, he said

CARI MAKAN FROM NINE TO FIVE
CARI MAKAN JUST TO STAY ALIVE
CARI MAKAN FOR YOUR DAILY BREAD
CARI MAKAN TILL YOU’RE DEAD

about

Guano Breath Malaysia

My output mostly dates back to the 1980s and has been heard by a mere handful. This isn't what I'm into now but at least I'm not too embarrassed about it.

Collaborations with others & freestyle choreographic works form an integral part of my archive.

I enjoy being the world's least ambitious musician.
