1,000,000,000 is quite a huge number, actually.

It's quite difficult to read it, but it's even more difficult to pronounce it in Malay. Do you want to know how to say this number in my national language? It's

Seribu Juta

This was one of those things which you did when you were younger and kick yourself thinking about it years later. It was my first original song with lyrics, though, so I will always remember it.

I wrote it in Malay not because of anything, but simply because I knew the syllables of the Malay language would be suitable for the Japanese Vocaloid voices, which are designed to sing in Japanese.

I used LMMS to make the music and Lightworks to make the video. They have one thing in common, that is they are FREE. Their plugins and instruments also come free with it. I would say that they are both my first steps into music and video production respectively.

On the other hand, Yamaha's Vocaloid only comes free if you purchase a voicebank. That was the basis for writing this song. Hatsune Miku is idolized globally as an idol and diva, but the reality is that she's only 'yours' if you buy her in a box. And if you do buy her, that would cost you about RM1,100 (USD260). I know it's not 1,000,000,000, but it did feel like it when I wrote this song.

That's all from me, I hope you enjoy this song! One more thing, do check out this link for a narcissistic explanation of the lyrics. HA!
