Tpday malas sngat nak posting apa apa. Had a ton of work to finish... kalau tertangguh kang, mampos nak clear by the beginning of next week. Backlogged work ni yang paling terus cause you know when you keep procrastinating sangat...it never gets done. Only forgotten. Anyways, apart from the hustle and bustle for the hands on for Anugerah Bintang Popular kali ni, today was a little different cause thanks to Juan dan Mohariz, gi lepak kat studio kat NSR dengar Dayang laying down some vocal tracks for her upcoming album. Aku nak cakap lebih lak takleh...kang ada penulis lirik lak marah. Tapi apapun, it's staple Dayang, and quite interesting. Aku memang rate Dayang as one of the albums to look our for in 2007. All the divas, and little divas are coming out with albums this year, so memang killer sikit ler tahun ni. Banyak saingan, which I suppose in a way is good. Off what I can recall, I know apart from Dayang's album, aku tunggu album Ning, Sarah Raisuddin and also of course, Siti Nurhaliza punya traditional album (lama tak dengau dia wat genre ni). Oh by the way...kelakar la...for me. But it's strange betapa ramai wartawan tak bertauliah who try so hard to be something they're not, making snide remarks about how those in the profession think they're better (technically most are because not only they're trained, experienced amongst other reasons)...these folks don't know which way is up. Why did I bring that up? Sebab ada ler sembang ngan Dayang pasal isu ramai kutuk dia kat Internet pasai baju dia kat Anugerah Juara Lagu tuh...selak situ sana sini seksi katanya.... Well...strangely enough, these anonymous moralists...are just ridiculously hitting below the belt. Everyone has the right to an opinion, but I think the Internet has allowed for too many kedai kopi syndrome inflicted wannabes who judge people harshly without facing the consequences for being UNKNOWN and FACELESS. So there...but many artistes read what's on the Internet even though meka tak ngaku...and it does hurt most of them...criticisms and nasty remarks biasalah...tapi agak agak ler kan kalao nak curi pukul. The work of a coward is always anonymous. Only that way...they can't be judged. Aduh...ngantuk...nak tidur dulu...kan merapu lak entry ni panjang memanjang...
Yes!!! Arini memang besh gila! Let's see, of course it was payday yesterday...but the besh was that today, all my arrears were banked in and my bank account ran deep into five digits! Terasa kaya...walaupun pas ni the numbers will definitely shrivel like certain bodyparts in certain conditions sebab nak dump the money into several investments and such. Hopefully this marks the start of my anticipated great financial year. Work was ok...tapi dalam keja banyak, ceria je. Ala ala feeling Snow White And The Seven Dwarves leh whistle while you work gituh. Was running a bit late in meeting Wanie to pick up some stuff, but managed to catch Hatta nak finish up his pieces for Ning, Nikki and Erra Fazira. Had to run last minute sebab da janji Syed lak nak jumpa dia ngan Erra kat Menara Pan Global. Bumped into Bill Bora, and proceeded up to get the fitting done Meka tengah shooting movie rupanya. Umie Aida popped in halfway, and si Hans pun ada. Sebab rushing didn't bother to ask anything and got the fitting midway done masa shooting. Sebab meka shooting this office like environment, terpaksa ler tukar dalam cubicle. Dahler takde lampu sangat. Keji lak rasanya...but awmigawddddd....Erra memang fabulous la badan dia. And the dress just fit her like a glove. She is definitely without a doubt one of Malaysia's prettiest celebrities ler. Undoubtedly! Memang takde masaalah and Erra and Syed as well love the whole outfit which was quite Valentino. Kudos ler sebab Hatta berjaya gak pikat ati meka ngan his creation. Abih jer tuh, we were both actually kind of tired walaupun puas ati...so cadang nak balik terus. On the way, dropped balik office, sebab nak pop into the rehearsal Anugerah Bintang Popular yang diadakan disana. Yerlah....performers semua ada, senang nak adjust final adjust final schedule for them. Pening gak sebenarnya nak handle benda benda camni, and aku salute ler Akademi, pihak Berita Harian and all for their hard work. Congrats ler pada the whole team sebab manage to put on a great concerted effort. Sampai je bumped into Jac leaving, so set her appointment for final fitting too. Sekali abang Amy dan wife dia pun baru sampai. Masuk je, nampak Rizman, Wan and Angel da sampai. So after customary his and all, with Ziana and her manager Lisa, semua masuk bilik air nak wat fitting. Amik ko...another masterpiece! Kalau korang tengok pic tuh, si Rizman yang pose semacam (cam perli kak Ziana jer...tunggu aku adu!). Ziana lak...terkejut sebenarnya nak pose tak sempat (candid ler best!) Saja tanak posting pic pic yang posing overdose. Anyways, we were satisfied and decided to call it a day and sit in on the rehearsal sat. Budak budak V.E. semua ada. Tak sempat sembang panjang...kak Aishah pun ada. Ning, Misha and several other artistes da balik. Sempat tengok Ziana go one more round after a tempo change, and a little of the V.E. boys have a go at the mic. Ramli M.S. yang musical director, so you know where you're at with that. Finally decided nak gerak, I made a move with Mawi, Nasser, abang Aman and gang sebab nak discuss ngan Mawi dan Nasser pasal bila lak kita nak fitting. Seperti biasa Mawi punya schedule packed sangat. Jumaat lak meka da nak naik Genting Highlands. Silap silap, da naik tuk rehearsal kat Arena of Stars, malam tu kena turun balik lak nak siap kan baju. Kalau camtuh, memang next day Saturday kena one mroe round naik bukit ler. Kesian lak kat dia. Aku memang plan nak gerak Ahad jer. Tapi silap silap aku Sabtu da ada kat sana...tengok plan camna dulu. Sempat ler tengah wat lawak pasal lagu Ishtar (memang lagu tuh besh ok dan memang in my favourites playlist skang...tunggu nak ke Singapore nak cari CD kalau try nasib esok nak carik atau booking kat Tower Records tak jadi). If nothing else, the whole kes about ciplak and all, membuka my eyes to Ishtar's brand of pop. Wat aku nak dengar agi lagu lagu dia...from the samples I've heard, I'm really impressed.... Anyways, dalam nak balik tuh, naik lif, si Mawi sempat pose tuk one pic for the blog (keji kan ko Nasser!) Er...pose santai ke...pose gayart naik lif...pose haper pun la...aku pun tatau. Tapi rileks...chill jer. Hit Amin Thai kat seksyen 7 tuk melantak sebab kebulur da. Abih je headed balik to the kids' home kat 16 sebab nak sambung an informal discussion ala post-mortem. Puas ati gak ler... Minor alterations je needed. Nothing major...so that's a relief. Semakin dekat Anugerah Bintang Popular ni, banyak lak aku kena prepare before hand because I'll be doing several job up on the hill. Takperler. This is my litmus stress to my already skyrocketing blood pressure. It's a good test of how to juggle so many tasks and yet try and remain sane, as well as calm and composed...especially with all the trivial crap going around me from those haters who just keep bugging me. La la la...sucks to be you folks. Lum agik masuk bab Anugerah Bintang Popular ujung minggu ni. Ada je freeloaders nak tag along. Tak sedau diri tul. Aw please lah. Get a proper job first. But what to do...there are leeches everywhere no matter what. I'll just focus on my job, but thank the security for doing theirs in keeping the riff raff out so that I can get my work done. Too much to do and too little time to bother with insignificant freaks. Eh...nak check some emails and go beddy bye....happy holidays pada semua yang tak keja esok...lain la seperti di opis orang ni yang da la kena keja tak bayar triple. Merasalah...
Bilalah gaji nak keluar ni. Pening tunggu. Pas beli laptop ni (cash ok, tak mian hutang-hutang) pokai lak. Tapi seb baik takde la hutang keliling pinggang. I can actually die free from debt unline most people. Still, seperti biasa time takd duit nih ler berlambak sale, and that makes it almost a test of faith for me bila jejak mall tengok kiri kanan ada sale. That's why I've been staying away from malls from the past couple of days. Until tadi. Dalam sibuk banyak keja nak abihkan, kena lak gi Mid Valley Megamall untuk pelacaran album VE, bertajuk...erm...VE & Friends. How creative. Anyway tuk peminat VE anyway, album ni is actually not considered the group's second full studio album. This is more of a collaboration album ngan kerjasama bersama ramai agik artis. ERA da play to death Tak Mengapa yang featuring Datuk A. Rahman Hassan. But there's another tune which I think they're pushing titled Kerana Cintamu which features all-girl vocal group, Quadrose...sedap gak pendatang baru nih, Kira all in all the album is a pleasure daripada segi vocal quality, tapi I think they seriously need to change the direction of their music a little. Still, no matter what, VE is definitely THE tightest vocal group act in the country. Other artistes yang featured dalam album ni include RuffEdge, TooPhat, Vince, Shazzy, Ella, KRU, Phlowtron, Reefa, Nur Fatima and Urban Exchange. Korang kalau jenis beli album (jangan ler download jer lak) gett his, cause it really is worth ler. Sempat ler sembang panjang ngan Cham, sebab lama da tak jumpa. All of the boys are cool, but Cham has been the most chummiest with me because he really is cool. Found out that everyone's got their own company. These guys kan..memang aku admire ler sebab meka ni kerja keras. Of many 'artistes' I know...tak semua yang work for their keep. These boys do...and my hats off to them. Anyway, balik soal album VE & Friends, keep an eye out for the music video of Tak Mengapa yang akan keluar tak lama lagi. Album ZVE & Friends diedarkan oleh EMI Music Malaysia and has been available dari 11 Januari. CD berharga RM24.90 dan kaset RM16.90. Malas nak tulis banyak ari ni. Banyak lak keja. Ni pun letih sebab abih keja je ke Perstauan Akademi Industri Muzik Malaysia, nak settle kan bab Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian. By the way, final judging untuk Anugerah Industri Muzik di jalankan Ahad lepas. Sorry Jen cause I couldn't make it (Ahad pun aku bangun lambat anyways), so maybe next year. Here's hoping that this year's AIM will rise from the ashes (gitu!) Okler...nak ciao. Full day tomorrow.

Finally some time off. Hari ni Adly MC, dan Meor lak sibuk, akibatnya, I have to shoulder the responsibility of delegating tasks to everyone and check on everything to coordinate. Peningnya. Ni pun aku baru dapat merehat, while having supper at Uncle Don. Sekali ngan Juan yang belanja makan tuk ari ni (yeay!!! - jarang tau nak merasa ni) Sambil sambil tu, si Mohariz dropped by and joined us for a drink sambil sembang benda benda yang berlaku the past one or two days. Memang banyak nak cita...dari cita kat Melodi pasal Elyana dan Nikki, sampai ke cita lagu Nora ciplak. Where do I start. Ok...camni, terima kasih pada segala kutukan dan perlian dan statement statement sewaktu dengannya yang telah pun aku jawab dalam forum tu sendiri. Dari sini, aku malas nak ulang statement aku sebab jawab banyak kali, kalao jenis yang sekali tak paham, nak wat per kan? They'll never understand. All I can say is, yang berani cakap, ngaku jer lah kan? Aku selama ni orang kata laser dan sebagainya. But I never hid behind this cloak of anonymity dan aku selalu mengaku apa aku katakan. Nak sebutkan pasal kroni ke apa...lantak lah. Aku rasa camtuh, semua artis kroni aku.Cuma yang mulut tak sesuai ngan status mereka yang tak seberapa. Buat baik...kita pun buat baik. So kalao anyone nak leave a nasty comment here, pikir berkali kali dulu, cause at the end of the day, again, this is my blog. Thereis a disclaimer on the right, so don't come in here if you don't fancy exposing yourself to my views. Kan? Senang. Selain nya aku da jawab dalam Cari forum (tima kasih pada warga sana yang memahami). Selebihnya, adu jer kat pihak Melodi yang membuat production tu. Bab lagu Nora, aku rasa korang da baca cita pasal lagu Secebis Harapan. Sememangnya forum Cari yang first nak sebut pasal bab ni ngan link ke youtube yang nunjukkan link video. Masalaahnya, lagu tu tak dapat dikesan original version nya because the song kat youtube was performed by a singer yang pernah menyertai Idol versi meka musim pertama, ketika membuat persembahan program tuh dalam musim kedua. Anyway, baru baru ni ada pembaca datang ke pejabat kami mengadu. Dia membawa CD artis Israel bernama Ishtar yang ala ala pangkat Siti Nurhaliza di Isreal ni. Citernya, dia tengah wat keja, sambil pasang TV. Time tu Anugerah Juara Lagu on, dan berkumandang lagu Secebis Harapan. So dia pun recognise. Dia korek koleksi CDnya dan terjumpa album bertajuk The Voice of Alabina. The song titled Horchat Hai Caliptus ditulis pada tahun 1963 dan dimuatkan dalam album Ishtar dalam 2003. The rest you can pretty make out for yourself what is the status of Secebis Harapan by listening and comparing. Not infringing on the copyright, aku offer download verse lagu Secebis Harapan versus Horchat Hai Caliptus. The first download is the first verse. File ni dalam bentuk mp3. First, verse pertama Secebis Harapan seperti didendangkan oleh Nora, followed by Ishtar's Horchat Hai Caliptus. Second file tu, first chorus of Secebis Harapan, then Horchat Hai Caliptus. Siapa yang tak pernah dengar, bandingkan sendiri. Apa pendapat korang? It doesn't take someone who is musically trained to come up with a conclusion. If you like either song, aku masih galakkan to BUY THE ORIGINAL and not download. Tu disclaimer nak announce ler kan, kalao tak orang kata aku galakkan piracy lak ngan illegal downloads. Respecting intellectual property is still important no matter what.
This is the two different cover art untuk album Ishtar.
So anxious nak tau sebenarnya apa bunyinya Horchat Hai Caliptus dan betul ke sama sangat ngan Secebis Harapan seperti yang didakwa? Dengar sendiri ngan right click where it says CLICK HERE dibawah and pilih, SAVE TARGET AS untuk memulakan download. Save it to your appropriate destination. Pepandai ler korang ek...sebab kalao bandwidth kang da abih nak download, jangan salahkan aku mintak letak agik. Letih lor.... Apapun, enjoy playing judge with your personal opinion.

So korang click sekali and dia automatically buka dalam player korang. Kalao takleh, erm...no komen ler. Or find the originating URL dan download sendiri ok. Ok ler nak tidur. Esok another full day. Selain keja, kena lak ke Persatuan Akademi Industri Muzik Malaysia punya office nak collect passes for Anugerah Bintang Popular as well as nak send the info nak register security passes lain. So much to do, so little time...and so little patience to give a damn about things that don't pay me anything. Baik aku keja...night all...
Started the day with a laugh. Malas cakap apa apa. Korang pun da nonton Melodi ari nih kan? SIapa yang tak tengok, lupakakan ler. Apapun, bab tu aku cerita lebih sikit esok. Tunggu reaksi yang memang aku agak akan dipergunakan beberapa pihak yang kecoh lebih nak amik kesempatan hentam jer keja tanpa tau pokok pangkal cita. Whatever. Biasalah...that's why they say ignorance is bliss. Got my tat done today. Yeah!!! Oh...and if kalau ada yang nak kutuk aku sebab dapat tattoo...suka ati aku. Mausk sini tengok, baca, curi info dan pic, pastu masuk sana sini kutuk aku konon. Strange kan...tapi still nak baca blog aku. This is a no loser zone. So bye bye to you if you belong to that category. Takyah ler masuk sini. Got to Finnegan's to meet my sis dan Jida. They were having lunch, since I already had mine, layan laptop jer ler sat. When we finished, we strolled over to Borneo Ink nearby. My first time merting Eddie, one of the world's best tattooists! Eddie is Sarawakian, and definitely has an eye for detail. Dia ni pun bukan calang calang. Educated, just like the rest of his siblings, semua turn to tattooing sebab the art of it. For those yang tak minat, dan nak kecoh jer pasal aku tattoo...takyah ler nak read on. Dan kalau nak curi pics ni dan nak posting memana tuk nak kutuk aku, paling tidak kredit ler blog aku ek so orang leh baca cerita aku sepenuhnya yer. The tattoo is my second and the first colour one I've gotten. Ilham daripada my own imagination and hasil my own sketch. Symbolism dia, that I may wear my heart on my sleeve for the world to see...which exposes me to a lot of things. Yerlah...honesty is often mistaken for brashness...so how do you tell people who are ignorant of the differences? The dragon is symbolise not only the characteristics I emody in the spirit of my zodiac (born in 1976, the year of the fire dragon - symbolising fearlessness, anger and leadership traits among others). In the end, no matter what...my strength of character prevails...and I will persevere to the end. Leh? Anyways, the tattoo cost RM400 and three hours to finish. Worth every sen for the statement. In the end it didn't hurt as much as my Iban one masa gi Sarawak Cultural Village some time ago. The experience definitely made this one easier.
Ni dia tattooist aku si Eddie. First dia amik ilham lukisan aku dan kemaskan. Then dia tekap stensil tuh kat lengan aku. Then jarum pun start. Sakit? Taklah (control macho!)
The three stages of my tattoo. First yang stencil which is stuck on my arm. Then the tattooed outline. Finally, the coloured and finished tattoo. Ok?
Ni tools of the trade. First laying out the colours. Sebanyak 10 warna digunakan tuk shading dan sebagainya. Ni part of the colours used. Cam kelas lukisan lak. Dalam seronok...tengok ler jarum digunakan. Seb baik penah...kalau tak pengsan aku.
Abih dah balik rumah sat. Merasalah mak aku nak tengok cantik ke tak tattoo aku. I'm thankful I have the most beautiful parents who are understanding. And not to mention my lovely sister who footed the bill as part of my Christmas present. Thanks too to Jida sebab temankan join sekali ek. Abih je, balik rumah sat, dan pastu kuar balik ke Shah Alam untuk jumpa Pyan, Judd dan Abby tuk ke show Dayang kat Planet. I lasted the whole first set, pastu malas lak sebab ramai orang. Rimas and claustrophobic. Walaupun ada meja malas nak duduk. Takperla...kang masa Ella punya show nanti aku party out. For now...I don't think so. Had a drink outside to spend time on my own and update my blog. Oh by the way, korang tau the row of plaster moulds kan yang ada handprints celebrities kat luar Planet Hollywood? Guess whose yang fit aku paling sesuai. Amik ko....Goldie Hawn. Padahal rasanya Rosanne Barr! Kecik gila tangan aku ek....merasalah badan lak tak kena. Once it was over, balik terus and got some sleep. Kalau korang nak baca review show yang memang best gila (aku paling suka Dayang nyanyi Irreplaceable - sesuai ngan mood aku), CLICK HERE (kalau dia da terasa rajin nak update ler) Ok ler...da lewat...nak tidur. Esok aku try update secepat mungkin sebab memang banyak kerja. Aku akan update what I can, tapi aku tak janji what time I'm going to do it sebab I am really bogged down. And by the way... to that person. I'm sorry I can't come back to you anymore. Aku masih sayang kau...tapi aku tanak...sebab aku da belajar daripada kesilapan aku. Cukup lah kita berkawan yer. Anyway, bersedia lah untuk kelaharan esok kang sebab aku rasa banyak reaksi berdasarkan SMS member-member yang aku dapat. Apapun, esok aku kuar statement aku lak ek. Tapi sebenarnya perlu ke nak cakap apa pun? Going to sleep...night all.
Didn't have time nak posting sangat yesterday sebab kelam kabut sikit. Anyway, continuation dari malam semalam, nak wish Alam dan Co. congratulations sebab launching Alam Morphosis! Morph Talent and so on is now a legit entity (da lama pun) and aku tumpang bangga sebab my former editor skang da berjaya nak menapak ngan sendiri tan pa bantuan sesapa. He's inspired me to do better for myself and ignore people who only know how to talk, and criticise like they know how to do it, but don't. Dari pengalaman menulis, bakat dan juga pendidikan dia, he's made it. So congrats again Alam! Usha ler Wayang Kita for his Alam Morphosis t shirt yang dia pakai tuh. Best gak semalam dalam letih dan ngantuk rush ke launching event of Morph kat the National Press Club. Ramai lak orang. Warga Astro, media, dan artis ramai. Especially geng Akademi Fantasia. Pompuan yang aku ingat...Ekin, Edlin, Akma, Marsha, Liza, Nana (anak sedara Alam gak and a resident of Sungai Mati - tul ke nonok ko pun dari Sungai Mati) while the boys lak included Bob, Yazer, Kaer, Fitri, Kefli...aduh...ramai sangat aku pun pening nak ingat semua. Tak kuasa lak nak wat note guest list. So these are the pics for you guys. Spending the whole of today to just sleep. Malam lak kuar joget sat...lama da tak kuar pun. Nak lepas tension...esok nak wat my tattoo. Matilah sesapa nak kutuk aku kerana nak buat. Bukan kulit korang. And not forgetting...nak gi Planet Hollywood tuk Dayang punya Sunday Nite Live, sebab da janji nak drop by. So party on!!!
Si Iqram feeling rempit naik motor masa kami lepak kat luar. Si Bob...erm tambah kurus sikit...(puji sikit) sambil tu si Fitri rupanya dah boroi! Aiyak!!! Weiii sit up sikit! Next pic si Yazer berangan tough dan macho followed by Alam the man himself! Nana sambil gayut pun leh pose (merasalah malas nak turn the pic nampak stylo sikit) and last all the girls melalak Teman Tapi Mesra.
Malas nak tulis pepanjang ari nih. It's the end of the week, so aku tulis sikit sikit jer lah ek. Earlier today....not ler early but in the middle of the night...I had my first bite of McDonalds selepas sebulan lebih. Sepeas tengok Upsize, terus tak berani sentuh the Golden Arches. Dah berjanji ngan dia sekali supaya tak sentuh junk food camtuh. Then again...semalam pas aku sahkan aku dan dia tak ada apa lagi kat phone, aku for some reason felt a need to eat something from McDonalds. So I grabbed some take-away sebelum keluar ngan Puteri dan ED. The rest of them convoyed, so tak kisah ler. We went and grabbed some...I had my Spicy Chicken McDeluxe set, the fries which I gave bebudak. Eew...McDonalds fries are the worst ok. Nevermind, korang usha docudrama Upsize. Then korang tau. Anyway....rasa sayu lak tengok iklan Prosperity Burger sebab teringat dia sebulan nih dia nak sangat makan tuh....sebab terkenangkan lazat katanya. Shit! F******* memories. Tak perlu betul! Nevermind ler...it was good while it lasted. Aku terima je. Besides, I made the decision to end it kan? Why should I regret it. But it was only later aku memang regret gila sebab aku nak brak up face to face. Tak nak lah over the phone. Sebelum ni aku tanak bersemuka, but at 5.30am, an unGodly hour....ketuk pintu and jumpa dia. Talked and talked....and silap aku. I did something I promised I would never do. We talked things over and ended it on a peaceful note though. So that's a relief. How do I feel now? Mixed feelings ler. Relief...and yet loneliness. Freedom and yet frustrated. Boleh? Aku mungkin rasa aku sedih sebab kesilapan kesilapan dia buat berulang kali yang mengagaglkan perhubungan kami. But oh well...times like this...ni jer lagu paling sesuai untuk aku.
Shit...it's the weekend da. Malas nak pikir. Gaji pun nak kuar. I'll indulge in a little retail theraphy. I'm sure I won't feel so blur. Tengah wifi tengah Bukit Bintang ni sambil melantak kat kedai kak Ara. Saja singgah ngan Wanie selepas fitting dan sesi promo and interview kat Habab Jewels bersama ngan Mawi. Penat siot lari sana lari sini. Nak wat per. Nak cari rezeki. Biarlah orang cakap apaun, janji setiap hasil usaha titik peluh aku HALAL! I work for everything I've got...so sucks to be you ler pada orang yang dengki kalau keja tuh bak limelight pada aku. Tak mintak pun. Glamer bukan leh bagik makan kan? Perlu ke feeling konsep artis majaalah ni? Anyway, spent a relaxed couple of hours in Habib (tima kasih pada keluarga Habib for their hospitality). Sambil pilih barang barang accessories tuk pakaian Mawi ketika red carpet dan juga untuk ketika persembahan, we also managed to get the fittng out of the way. Pihak Berita Harian wat photography dan interview sekali. Standard...cam all the artiste session sebelum ni. Ni the pics...korang enjoy...lotih nak cita panjang sebab pics pun banyak nak letak.
Kalau nak tau, the pieces selected by Mawi, erm...takyah ler letak harga. But the brooch satu pun dah RM14,000 lebih. Power gila...aduh...bila la nak afford jewellery camni. We had a fun session. Relaxed and no stress sebab Friday. Apapun, pas abih segala, si Mawi lak gatal lak nak cuba jadik photographer. Katanya dia ada camera canggih kat rumah yang tak reti dia pakai. So dapat ler free lessons on how to handle a camera. Leh tak kalau ikut pose nak jadik professional photographer lak? Ok...really tired...calling it an entry....till the next...
Tu dia...kalau korang ada hantar undian untuk Anugerah Bintang Popular, ni korang punya entries di hantar masuk di evaluate kan oleh kengkawan di meja hiburan Berita Harian. Hadiah and all banyak ler nak menang...so wait for it. Semua pemenang, tak silap aku, akan diberitahu sehari dua ni. So kalau tak dapat panggilan by Monday, it means korang tak menang ler. Sebenarnya aku ari ni relax sikit. Ada banyak benda nak fikirkan, so not really occupying myself with anything, to free my mind and really focus on some things which I have to sort out. Ni kalao korang masuk, korang perasan ada diminta disertakan gambar pengirim kan? Ala ala macam masuk personals advertising office ngan gambar-gambar individu individu yang cun cun melecun bersepah atas meja. Yang bestnya siap ada nombor phone mobile ngan office and home number selain dari alamat. Amik ko!!! Anyway... Aku malas nak posting entry yang panjang hari ni kerana aku nak abihkan keja aku nih as well as sort out some affairs. Esok, usha usha ler entry aku dalam petang, sebab aku kena gi Habib Jewels ngan Wanie, yang design baju tuk Mawi. Ngan Mawi, kita nak pilih barang kemas yang sesuai yang boleh dikenakan ngan dia (takyah spekulasi...tau je kami apa yang leh apa yang takleh). Nanti aku posting sesuatu ngan pics ek. Plus...aku ada cita panas. Tau tak korang ada sorang penyanyi kat Anugerah Juara Lagu yang mulut cam lahar, semalam wat hal? Hah!!! Lagik panas...ada lagu dalam Anugerah Juara Lagu baru baru ni...sebenarnya lagu penyanyi terkenal dari Israel yang di ciplak? More news on that later. Memang takde orang tau setakat nih...ok nak ciao...!
First and foremost, terima kasih to everyone yang SMS jawapan. Berpuluh entry gak aku terima sampai inbox aku pun kelam kabut sikit. But the first one to masuk my inbox at 1.16pm was from Budiey. Alah...blogger gak menang. Hah...so korang kena ler lebih alert dan rajin sikit nak checking for updates. This won't be the last competition....so korang standby. Aku tanak bagik notice awal sangat, sebab last minute ler baru tengok nasib betul-betul...kan...kan...kan... Jumpa Budiey tadik kat izzi...my fave hangout. Abih je press conference Anugerah Bintang Popular, aku gerak ke izzi nak abihkan keja nak hantar ke office. Biasalah...malas balik nak meredah jam kat Sungai Besi from Mines. Keji sangat jalan sana ada je construction. Dari dulu... So official prize presentation da amik tempat ek...nanti aku upload pics lak, atau ko leh check kat Budiey nya blog tuk review konsert tuh, sebab aku rasa program aku penuh this weekend tak dapek pegi.

Sidang akhbar siang tadik besh...sempat ler sok sek sana sini, korek gosip, dan terjah orang gak. Jangan ingat abang Nas jer leh terjah tau...bezanya jer akutakde kamera. Jangan marah abang Nas. By the way, to abang Nas, atau lebih dikenali melalui forum sebagai abang rambut ketak, tima kasih kerana sudi menjemput aku tuk jayakan program Gedik Santai kang. Calling calling je...erm...bayaran berapa....(matilah aku kena maki kang). Aduh...yang allergic sikit, besi kat muka kena tanggal semua kalao nak on-air. Part tuh je yang jenuh sikit. Banyak pics sebenarnya aku amik, tapi aku select berapa favourite aku yang aku posting. Server imageshack gila sikit.... Pics ni ada yang tak clear, so minta ampun abih sebab Nokia aku kian hari kian uzur...tunggu ek yang baru take over. Enjoy the pics...and be posting tomorrow. Nak balik for some lovin' with my baby...oops...ex baby. Yes, we're still good friends. Ada harapan nak kembali bersama? Bak kata Linda dan Fahrin...kalau ada jodoh...leh gituh?

Music is beautiful, no matter what language it is in. It transcends the boundaries of race, religion, and even that of a geographical nature. Here's my list of songs from Indonesian pop and rock acts that are on my playlist, some of which are my all time favorites. Some old, some new and some just bloody timeless. Enjoy the sounds and listen beyond the music and the words - and instead tune into the emotions of each tune. No matter what genre they may be.
Say NO! to the hateful and malicious nature of some who choose to close our local music market for fear of competition simply because they are unable to compete, and unwilling to even try.
Support Malaysian music. Don't kill it by being ignorant. Music is ever evolving, and our local sound is slowing being rendered irrelevant. This is my protest against those who choose to be anti-Indonesian music, simply because SOME of our local talents and recording outfits are too lazy to innovate and create. This is the sound of Indonesia today. Are we up for the challenge to evolve and produce better music in healthy competition?
WHAT I'M ON
KLUBBKIDD
So...just what do you want to know about me?
I'm simple, and yet complicated.
It's as simple as that...but then again, perhaps not.
My life is kinda like my job, an oxymoron. Try this one out for size...'ethical journalist'. See, told you so.
Anyway, here's a brief (yeah right!) intro to my life.
I'm a proud Malaysian (and I mean literally!), of Chinese descent. I'm Christian (Roman Catholic!).
I'm kinda whacked. I believe in piercings, dyed hair, black nails, silver studs. leather and spiked accessories and oh... tattoos...body art is just that...art. Apart from anything else that will make me worth staring at.
Right now, I have a total of seven piercings (three on lobes - two left one right, left ear cartilage, nose, lower lip and tongue) with three taken out on brow (one ripped) as well as three tattoos with more to come.
Forget the tough exterior, cause I believe in hugging my parents, crying when I feel like it, require tender moments with my significant other, and I appreciate my friends. As Kim from America's Next Top Model said it best. "What's my secret? I may look tough on the outside, but really, I scream like a girl!"
Fictional?
I 32 as of last July 17, and it's past the mid life crisis come early for me as I struggled to deal with the coming of age thing. I am working as a freelance senior entertainment journalist, a job which I have been at ever since I decided to quit college, two subjects short of graduating. I was taking my Diploma In Sound and Audio Engineering. Until recently that is.
Now I do a lot of freelance overall talent consultancy which includes image and communication. I am also in the process of starting my own company klubbkidd Sdn Bhd, which is producing its first TV show from a format that I have created myself. The show will most likely be on air sometime end 2008.
I have donelive sound production for some concerts and shows and a little bit of studio work in hopes of becoming a sound engineer with what I've studies, when I turned back to my first love, writing.
Was doing general news, specialized awhile in politics, did a little features, crime, business and sports and dabbled in related journalism fields before finally settling into my current position, thankfully, entertainment, the perks of which is doing what I've always loved (writing and indulging in music) and also backstage passes to meet my favorite acts. It's eleven years now, and I'm still golding it there.
Looking back - whatever's gone on in my life - it's not too hard to be positive and look ahead, with more pleasant of the memories to make the journey a little easier.
And these very memories which I cherish so, are the reasons behind why I started blogging.
The friendships and variety of relationships I've been through, allow me to highlight the mistakes I've made and how not to repeat them, not to compromise my principles too much for love, and also a balance in sacrificing my ego, and how I must learn to be stronger in the face of adversity.
So I've never figured myself to be a real hoot.I pace on day by day, occasionally skipping, sometimes with just a little jaunty bounce. More often than not, I go smack! either on my rear end (which needs more meat) or flat on my face.Life treats me well, I suppose, so I shouldn't gripe. I am stll my own hero - that's positivity through self-affirmation for you.

Anyway tuk peminat VE anyway, album ni is actually not considered the group's second full studio album.
Finally some time off. Hari ni Adly MC, dan Meor lak sibuk, akibatnya, I have to shoulder the responsibility of delegating tasks to everyone and check on everything to coordinate.
