Sweet Hello and Sad Goodbye

Goodbye LANGKAWIfm. I'm leaving for Traxx fm but LANGKAWIfm and Langkawi especially my friends in Langkawi will always be in my heart.

To my friends on the island, Halina, Sufina & Geng Cikgu2 Langkawi yang best, Amanda, Fakhress, Muiz, Kak Nina, Kak Shar & Tisya, Kak Miza, Nana, Doc Ju, Abang Salim, Han Ho, Andy, Nini, Nasha, Finy, Auntie Zai, Ashraff, Kak Idda & Family and Aizzat and semua-semua lah, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you all and I hope to see you all soon.

I am so sorry I can't see all of you during my very brief 2 weeks on the island. Don't be sad because your "adik kecik AJK Keceriaan" is no longer around to ceria-ceriakan our little makan2 gatherings. I'm pretty sure there are videos of me doing my gila2 thingy some where, look it up and remember me no?

To my friends and working colleagues, I'm gonna miss you all. Please do forgive me if I have done you wrong in any way. I'm gonna miss you all.

To my listeners, Justin Group, Geng Sempoi, Ahli KLIK LFM, thank you for your support for the past years. Remember to keep on listening to LANGKAWIfm.

Be proud to listen to LANGKAWIfm, because it's our very own radio station and there's no such thing as Baling fm or Pulau Bidan fm or Sungai Petani fm even...

I am so gonna miss pok pek-ing on air and playing you songs especially the songs you've never heard of while laughing like a mad scientist off-air, yes, I actually did that and I'm gonna miss chatting with all of you.

I guess the webmaster will be taking down the link to my blog on LANGKAWIfms website, but this blog will remain on the net and will be updated from time to time. Bookmark it now! Keep in touch, ok? Look me up on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/mamat.lisham or Twitter at Mamat_Lisham and send me an e-mail at jenn_benn_jevvy@yahoo.co.uk

I guess I've posted what I wanted to say. I've enjoyed my 10 years stay on the island. Thank you for being a part of those 10 wonderful years.

I love you.
