FUGŌ's Theme Song For 'Ejen Ali The Movie 2' – 'Some Other Day' – Is An Emotionally-Resonant Anthem
You don't have to be an Ejen Ali fan to feel the emotional pull of 'Some Other Day.'
This track by Kuala Lumpur's indie trio FUGŌ is like a warm hug from a close friend – universally relatable and quietly powerful.
More Than Just A Movie Soundtrack
While it's the official soundtrack for Ejen Ali The Movie 2, 'Some Other Day' isn't your typical action flick anthem. Instead of fading into the background, it steps forward with emotional clarity, inviting listeners to pause, reflect, and breathe amidst the movie's high-tech spy thrills.
The song carries a tender message about change, friendship, and resilience that resonates well beyond the screen.
FUGŌ's Heartfelt Sound
If FUGŌ is new to you, 'Some Other Day' is the perfect intro. Formed in 2019, the trio – Hakim Kamal (vocals and guitar), Kayrol Ami (bass), and Fai (keys) – have built their reputation in the local indie scene with heartfelt, mellow acoustic vibes and honest lyrics that feel like a personal conversation. Their sound blends gentle guitars with dreamy synth layers, creating a cinematic yet intimate atmosphere.
Compared to earlier tracks like 'Waiting' and 'As Long As We Stay,' this song focuses less on sonic experimentation and more on emotional clarity, holding space for quiet reflection and hope.
A Soothing Anthem For The Heart
Lines like 'Dan kita akan okay, and we will be alright' linger long after the song ends. It's a soft, reassuring reminder for anyone navigating tough seasons, but still clinging to hope. This makes the track not just a soundtrack piece, but a comforting anthem for listeners.
If you've been missing a friend or feeling low, 'Some Other Day' gently voices what you might struggle to say – it's like a musical hug: steady, sincere, and quietly uplifting. By balancing the film's adrenaline with emotional depth, the track also makes Ejen Ali The Movie 2 more accessible and meaningful to audiences of all ages.

New To Pickleball? Here's How To Not Look Like You Just Googled The Rules
Subscribe to our FREE Trying a new sport is already stress-inducing. And like me, if you're not exactly a social butterfly, trying it in front of actual people ? Even worse. Whether you're joining a casual game or rolling up to Julie's Pickleball Party (more deets below!), this guide is your no-BS crash course to not looking like you just crawled out of a 'How to Pickleball' YouTube rabbit hole. We've got you covered with the absolute basics, minus the jargon. So you can walk in cool, swing confidently, and not whack your partner in the face. (We believe in you.) 🥒 Pickleball 101 (aka: What Even Is Going On) TRP. TRP. The 'Kitchen' Isn't for Standing In. There's a 7-foot zone on both sides of the net called the non-volley zone , but everyone just calls it the 'kitchen.' You can't hit the ball out of the air while standing in it. Step in = fault. Think of it like lava. Respect the lava. Serving: Where, When, How? Serve diagonally , underhand (no, really), and keep both feet behind the baseline. The first team to serve only gets one chance, then it goes to the other side. After that, it's two chances per team (except at the start of the game). Let the Ball Bounce – At First. After the serve, each side must let the ball bounce once before hitting it. No smashing it back straight away! This 'double bounce rule' keeps it fair and stops the game from turning into a tennis-style power match. Scoring Isn't That Deep, But It's Weird. Only the serving team can score points. Games are usually played to 11, and you've got to win by 2. When calling the score, say: your team's score , opponent's score , and whether you're server 1 or 2 (e.g. '4-2-1'). Feels like maths, but you'll get the hang of it. Don't Whack Your Partner. Rule of thumb: if the ball's in the middle, yell 'mine' or 'yours' like your relationship depends on it. Communication = everything. 😎 Fake It 'Til You Make It TRP. TRP. Confidence is 50% of the game. The other 50%? Snacks (Don't quote us on that). BUT, lucky for you, Julie's is fueling champions with their new Sweet Chilli Cheese Sandwich and Sour Cream & Onion Sandwich biscuits, featuring: Tangy sour cream + aromatic onion. Creamy cheese with a sweet chilli kick. Protein-packed. Low in trans fats & cholesterol. Non-GMO, a.k.a. Good Mood Only. 🏓 The Real Serve: Julie's Where Flavour Meets Your Game TRP. Julie's Biscuits. 📍 Location: Sunway Pyramid, Blue Concourse 📆 Date: 12 – 15 June 2025 Here's what's happening: Biscuits for sale & free sampling (FREE SNACKS). Interactive games & photo ops for your IG flex. Pickleball 101 coach sessions – register early though! Friendly matches with content creators & local Pickleball Clubs. Julie's Pickleball Face-Off featuring Seonma & Abang, Alana & Abbas, Sai & Bernice, MalayPanTV's Joshua & Arisa with Graeme as referee. | 📅 12 June, ⏰ 2PM – 6PM 🎁 GWP (aka Free Stuff, Let's Goooo) TRP. TRP. Snag the Julie's Pickleball Collection – only available at the roadshow! Buy 2 packs = Get 2 Zing Balls (pickleballs) Spend RM50 = Get either a Sour Ace Paddle or a Sweet Serve Paddle Spend RM150 = Get a Julie's Game-On Court Bag Plus, with every purchase you'll get to redeem 4 packets of Sweet Chilli Cheese Sandwich and Sour Cream & Onion Sandwich biscuits of random flavours! TL;DR TRP. TRP. Don't stand in the kitchen. Don't smash your partner. Let the ball bounce first. Only the serving team can score points. 🙄 Serve smart, snack smarter. And most importantly, swing by Sunway Pyramid for Julie's Biscuits, fun pickleball games, and vibes. See you courtside!

Young Malaysians Belting Out 'Pretty Little Baby' – TikTok Helps Oldies Live On
Subscribe to our FREE There was a time not that long ago when using background music in your videos could get you in serious trouble. Posting a clip with your favorite song on platforms like YouTube or Instagram often meant facing a copyright strike, video takedown, or worse, getting your account flagged. This made it really hard for everyday users to be creative and musical at the same time. But then came TikTok, and everything changed. No More Fear of Copyright Strikes TikTok made background music accessible thanks to its licensing deals with record labels. The app lets users easily add popular songs, indie tracks, or even viral sounds directly to their videos — no complicated editing needed, and no risk of getting in trouble. With this, old songs are getting rediscovered, and new artists are going viral overnight. One such song to make waves again is Connie Francis' Pretty Little Baby. For many of us who listen to oldies, we'd be going 'Huh? What do you mean making waves? That is a timeless classic! It's been in my playlist forever!' While you do get points for having good taste in music, you also have to understand that many of the kids today are no longer familiar with 'oldies but goodies'. They may recognise snippets of it here and there because mom and dad are still listening to it, but that's about it. READ MORE: Who's that Pretty Little Baby? In a surprising twist of musical fate, Francis' Pretty Little Baby has gone viral on TikTok and Instagram. On TikTok alone, the audio is tied to over a million videos. The track from the golden age of pop has been rediscovered by a younger audience, with users creating nostalgic montages, emotional storytime videos, and vintage-inspired edits that feature her unmistakable voice. First time I've lip-synched to this 63 year old recording of mine! Though decades have passed since its original release, the song's raw emotion and melodic richness have proven timeless. It's been trending so much of late that Francis herself has now set up a TikTok account, possibly to see what it's all about. Now in her late 80s, Francis responded to the viral revival with heartfelt gratitude. With only two videos posted so far, Francis' first video has amassed six million views. 'I'm flabbergasted and excited about the huge buzz my 1962 recording of Pretty Little Baby is making all over the world. To think that a song I recorded 63 years ago is captivating new generations of audiences is truly overwhelming for me. Thank you TikTok,' she said in the video. My thanks to you all for the huge reception you have given to 'Pretty Little Baby'. I am delighted to join the TikTok Community and share this moment with you. Malaysians joining the trend The song is also a hit among local TikTok users, with one girl posting a Bahasa Melayu version of it last month. Perhaps without realising, the song is also used as It's most common use is in lip sync videos. A Look Back at Connie Francis' Legacy Born Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero in Newark, New Jersey, Connie Francis rose to fame in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Her breakthrough came in 1958 with the song 'Who's Sorry Now,' which was famously promoted on American Bandstand by Dick Clark. The track became an overnight sensation and marked the beginning of a stellar career. She was known for her ability to sing across genres, from pop and country to rock and roll and Italian ballads. Hits like 'Where the Boys Are,' 'Stupid Cupid,' 'Lipstick on Your Collar,' and 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool' showcased both her vocal versatility and emotional depth. Francis was also one of the first female pop stars to achieve international fame, recording in several languages and topping charts in countries around the world. Despite facing personal and professional challenges throughout her life, including struggles with mental health and surviving a traumatic assault in 1974, she remained a resilient figure and a trailblazer for women in music.
