Ni nak tompang promo sikit (blog sendiri pon kena tompang kaaa??!!!) sebab ari ni pun tak banyak nak posting sebab sibuk ngan kerja.
Bagi meka yang minat the Sunday nite Live series kat Planet Hollywood, jangan ketinggalan One Night Only (guess movie inspired this tag) ngan Hazami & Soul Friends on Sunday, 11th March bermula 10.30pm.
The event sebenar marks a return for Hazami sebab ingat agik the fist time dia jejak sana wat show.
Teringat time 2001 masa baru kenal dia, dia jejak ke show Dayang Nurfaizah for the same showcase dan perform ngan Dayang walaupon lum bergelar artiste ketika tuh. Amik ko...masa tu terus ramai terpegun sebab tak penah lak orang tengok penyanyi laki wat whistling.
Lum per per...lebih kurang setahun kemudian, dia sendiri dapat merasa perform kat sana, time tuh dia lom jadik artiste, tapi berjaya nak hold the audience. I was still involved at that point, sibuk dok cari recording deal baginya.
After a meeting ngan Ajai (Nurul ada sekali) kat Nearfiled Studio kat Taman Tun (skang dikenali sebagai Wake The Baby da), the next day dapat panggilan dari Ajai kata deal...dia nak aku jumpa ngan Rudy Ramawi, the managing director of Warner Music Malaysia ketika tuh.
Having kept my promise tu help out, aku pun tompang bangga because dia da berjaya. Honestly, banyak selok belok pasal industri muzik soal sebalik tabir dan selok belok pengurusan dan nak deal tuh ni aku belajar ketika tu...and the rest as they say...is history.
Now...he makes a return to Planet Hollywood. Konperm ni kena pergi...seribu nostalgia Hazami as takes centrestage in Planet Hollywood.
Sebab ramai pon tau kan dia training vocal ramai penyanyi dalam industri, worth the RM40 (includive of one drink) cover charge ler (cam ler aku kena bayar...yer yer je cakap) just to see who else will be performing selain Hazami (cam ler aku tatau...)
Anyway for those of you yang nak gi...ingat...as usual, showtime is at 10.30pm and there will be two forty-five minute sets....
Anyway....semalam nak posting entry yang last last sikit tak sempat sebab meroyan isu Cit Cat...tapi popped by Laundry Bar kat The Curve atas jemputan RIch (masa dia call tengah separuh jalan preview Mukhsin -  merasalah aku kena jeling maut sebab jawab phone)
So, habis je keja yang berlambak semalam, zoomed there and popped into the establishment da nampak da kuarga Maestro termasu Mukhlis (ko kira Zezz la bukan Maestro), Melvyn, Marina, Syed dan ramai agik.
It's been some time since I watched any sort of showcase with underground bands (rindu lak scene Damansara dulu zaman Silver Spoons dan Barnum's ketika gig) but I found myself bopping along.
Hah...kira aku takder ler tua sangat...masih mampu agik nak enjoy ni.
I especially loved one of the three opening bands called Stoned Dazed (sorry if I got the name of you guys wrong...sound system was crap!).
Dengar je leh pick up that they were very influenced by Seattle sound and the mid 90s rock movement of grunge. A little bit of Stone Temple Pilots, a dose of Smashing Pumpkins, and thrown in with a good pinch of Sonic Youth, Gin Blossoms and several other sounds.
Sayang je the only drawback was they weren't tight enough...still they rocked.
the other 'otai' band yang perform was They Will Kill Us All. Very Spiral Kinetic Circus, except they appeared more sobre and were so amazingly tight that it was amazing to watch them.
The stars of the night was of course Estranged....aiyo...what can I say but that Rich was in the wrong show masa dia masuk Akademi Fantasia. They rocked the house!!!
Dok ngan Velvet (jerit lelebih tuh ada apa apa ke???), Farhan dan juga Tasha (yang gila headbanging main libas rambut) ngan Juan (yang lawan moshing ngan Tasha - tak sesuai ok!!)
Apapun memang happening...congrats Rich and the boys from Estranged on your album launch! Ni my little tribute clip with a snippet and promo for the album...hope you guys rock it up ok.

Dah..nak end posting. Esok entry pasal rahsia Aduh Saliha yang aku nak cita tak dapat cita...yang ramai dok nunggu. Heh!! Tungguuuuuuu!!!

PS - Today was a day of smiling. Karma has a strange way of balancing things out kan...He always knows what's best.... manusia takleh tarik rezeki kita...cuma Tuhan. Amen...

Kalau dalam posting sebelom ni aku berat nak sebut pasal apa kekecohan kat Terengganu ketika Mesra Sokmo Cit Cat di Terengganu, here's the lowdown kenapa memacam peristiwa terjadi sampai ramai pihak sakit hati.

20 sebab kenapa Mesra Sokmo Azwan tidak semesra mana (dari orang yang menghadiri)
1) Mulut Azwan yang laser terlampau kekadang menyebabkan perasaan ramai pihak terguris. Laser gak gak...tapi adab kena jaga gak kan? Lagikpun, meka sesama kalangan artis...hormat ler...

2) Mulut puaka balaci Azwan yang sibuk mengarah orang dan kerap meninggikan suara, padahal sendiri kelam kabut dan seringkali tidak tahu apa yang berlaku menjadi lagi satu isu. Ramai diantara kalangan artis dan juga wartawan yang panas dibuatnya bila diarah lelebih dengan perangai kurang ajar dari mereka yang mewakili penganjur.

3) Pihak artis dah ler semua setuju untuk ambil bahagian tanpa sebarang bayaran, tapi ni lak makan minum pun tak jaga. Malah ramai artis amik keputusan taja diri sendiri. Wat rugi je dok empat hari sana....keja lelebih tapi kebajikan tak dijaga.

4) Agihan tempat tinggal di antara dua lokasi iaitu Kelab Teluk Warisan dan Primula Beach Resort boleh diterima ramai artis...tapi ada artis yang busuk pun leh dipilih dok Kelab teluk Warisan yang six star tuh. Camana pilihan dibuat tak diterangkan.

5) Dahler sound sedap mintak on time....sapa lambat di tinggalkan. Tapi kerap Azwan sendiri lewat, termasuk aktiviti hari kedua, dan juga pada show malam tu di Dataran Shahbandar di mana semua orang terpaksa tunggu dia.

6) Kekurangan security at the venue of the show kat Dataran Shahbandar. Bayangkan dari beribu yang hadir, cuma enam anggota polis hadir...tu pun keja dua syif. And mind you, beberapa polis berpangkat tinggi yang hadir pun bukan nak jaga...last last production crew dan kalangan manager artis dan media yang kena tolong jaga. Akibatnya ada artis wanita kena raba termasuk Syanie! Si Julia dari xfresh FM lak kena tarik tudung sampai nak tercekik!

7) Acara yang dirancangkan banyak nampak takde organisation. Contoh sukaneka dan promosi majalah Hai!. Diadakan di Kelab Teluk Warisan...tapi mula mula dilarang sebab orang luar takleh masuk tempat eksklusif tuh. Apa da...last last pas Huz ngamuk baru leh...

8) Ning dikatakan pakaian seksi padahal tup satu badan ketika konsrt di Dataran Shahbandar!!! Sentap  terus ok!!!
Cmon lah...apa yang seksi nya???!!! In fact...Ning antara yang pakai paling cover skali ok!
Korang tengok sendiri apa dipakai oleh Ning pada malam tu.
Merasalah ada yang ngamuk sebab artis dia kena tuduh seksi...patutnya dia yang dapat....(matilah aku!)

9) Event yang konon raih anak yatim...kat A&W (apa la...apa yang melambangkan imej Terengganu sangat kat A&W nih...cuba lah bak makan nasi dagang ke...) memang cam #$%^&. Sebab bila sampai venue, kesian anak yatim semua dok luar bawah khemah under the searing sun, while artistes ushered in dan diminta makan fries masuk angin, root beer yang flat, ayam da masak enam jam lalu dan hot dog yang sebenarnya sausage dan bun je. Anak yatim dibenarkan masuk in the last 20 minutes je...apa da!!! Tak ikhlas tol!

10)Ada ura ura Azwan di bayar RM1 juta oleh kerajaan Terengganu untuk Mesra Sokmo Cit Cat ni. Azwan menafikan.
Wakil kerajaan yang membawa media ngaku dia dibayar tak kurang RM100,000....Azwan diam. Katanya dia kena blanja duit bayar empat bas (yang kami dapat tau harga RM10,000) dan award Mulut Laser dia yang berharga RM400 each (ada 13 total). Padahal...kos lain tak disebut...dan trofi tu ada cap sponsor lain lak...hmmmm...
So apa perbelanjaan lain yang patut di amik kira Azwan?
Sound system persembahan di Dataran Shahbandar dan Malam Gala pun bayar sendiri ke? Berapa lak harga speaker hancur?

11) Tempat duduk tak cukup ketika Malam Gala. Wartawan di minta pindah luar...di bahagikan antara publication besau dan kecik. Diskriminasi...kesian lak kat teman teman media yang dari majalah. Si kuncu kuncu kecoh ni yang dok mengarah...pas kena sound sebakul baru meka tak sentuh bila media kata nak walk out.
Media kemudian di salahkan oleh pihak penganjur kata amik meja orang yang berbayar...konon salah duduk.
Yang peliknya penganjur katakan siap 6 meja tuk media..padahal media dok 4 meja saja. Matematik fail ke??? Mana pergi meja lain dan camna masih leh short?

12) Lagi kesian kalangan artis. Semua dok tercengang bila berarak masuk sebab mangkuk hayun semua konon petugas semua tak siapkan tempat duduk. Pastu panik nak halau halau orang tuk nak duk kan artis main tangkap muat.
Akibat tu...ada yang dok backstage, ada kat luar dewan...yang dok dalam dewan cam Rabbani kat ujung dan paling belakang skali.
Tu pun entah selepas berapa lama jalan majlis. In the end, Adibah Noor walk out event tuh pas only the first course of soup. Rabbani lak kelihatan gerak selesainya persembahan mereka.
Ramai lagik ikut langkah meka, dan ramai kumpul kat bilik hotel memasing jadikan sesi peta ngumpat nak lepas tension sakit ati!

13) Peminat lagik teruk kena.... Meja caj sampai RM2,000, RM3,000 dan RM10,000...tapi ada kes meka yang bayar RM2,000 tuk meja takde tempat duduk!!!!

14) Alkisahnya meja terlebih jual yang mengakibatkan segala kekeliruan tapi tiada confirmation hal tuh sebab pihak Azwan dan juga pihak Gary Thanasan (kepala Mediate Communications yang merupakan event management acara tuh) menyalahkan antara memasing.
Sampai media soal Azwan, kemudian serang Gary...tetap meka menyalahkan masing-masing. Last last...kedua mereka berbalah ketika media da bergerak kembali ke hotel.

15) Tidak ada pemberitahuan kepada para artis yang kononnya acara kebajikan tu (ingat meka ni tak berbayar selama empat hari di Terengganu) berbayar dan menjual meja.
Ni menimbulkan marah pihak artis yang rasa seolah dipergunakan. Sejam sebelum show 8.30 malam, sekumpulan artis termasuk M. Nasir (ditemani Marlia Musa), Hattan, Ning, Adibah dan juga Salamiah Hassan (amongst others) wat meeting tergempar tamau teruskan show sehingga Azwan terangkan keadaan. Azwan tidak memberikan sebab yang munasabah...keluarga artis mendiamkan diri dan meneruskan show...walaupun rasa terpaksa.

16) Acara award Mulut Laser mengundang kutukan bila ada artis yang tidak patut menang anugerah yang tak seberapa tu. Kata Azwan, pilihan dibuat dari artis yang menghadiri semua aktiviti Mesra Sokmo Cit Cat sebagai tanda penghargaan. Tapi ada yang menang baru malam tu tetiba muncul. Tu pun kemut ka....

17) Soal makan lagi... selepas show di Dataran Shahbandar, Azwan masuk setiap bas kata sebagai tanda terima kasih nak bak semua makan. Konon tak plan dan tanda penghargaan. Kelakarnya...dah ler bak tempat public yang packed. Bayangkan empat bas penoh orang....
Separuh yang tak dapat makanan...minuman pun lum sempat da dihalau baik naik bas....ada yang sempat makan, tapi krew Azwan hilang begitu saja...so last last ada artis tu...sekali lagi kena bayar sendiri. Azwan ketika tu nowhere to be found.

18) Naik pentas Malam Gala pas kecoh pasai isu event caj tuk meja dan artis nak ngamuk, Azwan naik pentas melaser pasal bab artis hipokrit. Tension para artis punya muka...cakap pun salah...tak cakap pun salah. Da kena kelentong, tak dilayan...dikatakan hipokrit.

19) Sama ngan Azwan, krew nya juga bila bertengkar atas kebangangan meka, menyalahkan media dan juga artis sebagai 'not cooperative'. Gila ke haper???

20) Awal awal lagi juga Azwan da sound jangan tanya pasal jadual....konon semua boleh dirujuk pada jadual diberikan...dan juga boleh ditanya pada krewnya. Padahal...jadual tak lengkap, dan krew semua marah lak bila tanya, konon bodoh sangat artis bila tanya pasal detailed scheduled.

So kesimpulannya? Terima kasih kerajaan Terengganu...tapi no thank you Azwan Ali.
Artis pergi bagi muka...dan media pergi demi pengorbanan dan perasaan ingin menyokong  artis...pasnih lak? Mungkin ke?

Since I've already reviewed Mukhsin sebelom ni, dan ramai akan play reviewer aku rasa aku takyah ulas pasal Mukhsin lagi selepas previewnya earlier today.
This is simply because aku rasa kalao korang nak tau how the film is, there is nothing better than getting up that rear end, paying the minimal cinema entrance dan gi ler menikmati one of the most tastefully done love stories in Malaysian cinema.
There are no two ways about it....Mukhsin is amazing in all its simplicity.
What was more amazing was the preview itself.
Antara ramai ramai yang hadir untuk tayangan pra-tonton Mukhsin, terlihat beberapa orang yang, well...selama ni memang bukan pun dikenali sebagai peminat kerja Yasmin Ahmad.
In fact, spotted in the crowd  who thronged Cinema 12 of Golden Screen Cinemas kat MidValley Megamall were David Teo, Professor Razak Mohaideen dan juga Raja Azmi. Amik ko... for those yang follow Yasmin's films, you'd know the significance of these three names in attending the preview.
Tapi going back to the premiere, before even Mukhsin could touch me again... (sebab da tengok offline version atas jemputan Yasmin sendiri kat Leo Burnett months ago)...Yasmin did it with her opening speech.
With other filmmakers in the house, Yusry (Norman ada sekali), and not all of them her fans, Yasmin said something really touching.
When she started it with, "ramainya manusia" I thought there was going to be a sarcastic jibe from her. I know I would have done that...part of my defensive nature in not allowing anyone to hurt me.
Then she just continued on to welcoming them, noting that they weren't exactly her friends but added that she wished them to stay to hopefully enjoy the movie. That's just being gracious. Of course in my situation, kalao aku wat camtuh pun orang tetap problematic and wouldn't understand that....but Yasmin seems to have that effect on people...salute to you, dearest...
I felt almost sorry for some folks who had been in arms against me....tapi I suppose that stopped when the bitching about me didn't. Still...I was touched enough to hold back...at least for now. Tuhan akan membalas...
An eye for an eye...you know that saying kan... so ho hum...
Apapun...more importantly...I was touched...again...by Mukhsin. tetap dalam beberapa babak, sampai nak masuk ending...airmata tetap meleleh. And I found myself singing along to Hujan (original composition by Yasmin's dad - at the end of the movie her whoole family gather in front  of the piano - another touching scene though it wasn't really part of the movie).
Apapun, memang five star effort, and one of Yasmin's simplest movies...memang kalao sebelom ni pun orang kata Sepet dan Gubra terlalu artistik, walaupun aku rasa tidak sangat... Mukhsin memang simple dan straightforward...
And the most important message in the whole movie...bukan pasal bab cintan...tapi mengenai peluang kedua. Second chances are always there...and He allows us the luxury of them.
Premis cita simple je...Mukhsin yang berumur 12 masa cuti sekolah, telah kenal ngan Orked yang ketika tu umur 10. And the rest you can pretty much figure out. It's a story about first love...and most importantly how to move on in your life without regrets.
Mukhsin was directed by Yasmin Ahmad, and stars Sharifah Aryana (Orked), Mohd Syafie Naswip (Mukhsin), Sharifah Aleya (Mak Inom), Irwan Iskandar (Pak Atan), Adibah Noor (Kak Som) dengan cameo from Sharifah Amani.
Abang Jason pun ada tau...cak!!!
Filem terbitan Grand Brilliance Sdn Bhd ni also features the brilliant acting of Sharifah Aleya Syed Zainal Rashid (sebagai Mak Inom - complete the trio of sisters)  dan Adibah Noor as the laugh-a-minute Kak Yam. Fantastic cast....!!!
Anyways...spent time chatting with Ning and kak Dibah pasal fiasco in Cit Cat kat Terengganu...then a little more time with kak Fati and her lovely daughters...and also with Yasmin and her parents, who were simply adorable and reminded me of my own.
Ok ler...ni beberapa pics aku sempat rakam kat pra-tonton Mukhsin. Hope you guys like it....now, prepare to go to the cinemas when it open on March 8 in 30 panggung satu Malaysia.

The two upcoming stars of Mukhsin! Syafie dan Aryana yang memang berbakat abih!
    Tengok tu...Syafie paling kena kerumun kat pra-tonton tuh. Lakonan mantap walaupun hanya berumur 14 ketika penggambaran Mukhsin.
  The proud mother and her new baby, Mukhsin.
    Adik ni aku tak ingat nama, tapi bak watak Ayu yang mulot jahat. Very the typecast sebab muka dia pon nampak evil sikit. I actually know someone who not only acts like that...but also looks like that!
   Nani ada cameo dalam Mukhsin. Aleya lak yang bak watak Mak Inom tak dapat hadir at the preview.
  Kak Fati and her very talented daughters (minus absent Aleya). Yang paling kanan tuh (Alesya - who's number three between Nani dan Yama) bakal membintangi filem baru Yasmin, Mualaf.
 

Yasmin's own beautiful family...ngan parents dia. Aunty Inom Yon (cam familiar nama Inom kan?) dan uncle Ahmad Hashim. Thanks kak Min for introducing me as the one bitten by Jack. Heh!

Just got back from Terengganu....letih siot. Bak keta pun terhoyong hayang da...zig zagging here and there. Sampai balik je lak petang tadi, terus ada nak jumpa seseorang. Lega lak...brings a smile thinking about it. Yes...yes...life is good at the moment...
Anyway, sebelum apa-apa, ni dia seperti dijanjikan...the second webisode of 60 Saat Bersama... featuring Ina Naim seperti yang dijanjikan. Based on feedback from all of you, aku try improve banyak benda...tapi biasalah. Dalam tengah belajar sana sini nih, masih ada kekurangan, hope you guys like this episode.
Next pun lak... featuring Nabila.
Now on to the webisode.

I know masih ada kekurangan sana sini...so hope you guys can be patient and allow me to fine tune things slowly ek. Anyways...erm...semalam punya program Cit Cat kita tak ikut sangat. Letih lak nak gi benda alah sukaneka yang di anjurkan, so slept in dan bangun only about noon. But rupanya, artis ramai pun tak menghadiri, so ok ler.
Tengahari majoriti meka pi soundcheck, kita serombongan ni decide, nak gi jalan-jalan sikit. Atas jemputan wakil kerajaan Terengganu, kami gi ler makan kat restoran terapung dekat area pasar Payang tuh yang kami gi shopping ari sebelum.
After lunch, we were taken on a boat ride (sempat nak edit Ina punya inteview sana sini while on the ride).
Enjoyed the scenery and the wondrous beauty of nature,,,but teringat lak Mauritius. Honestly, Terengganu reminds me a lot of Mauritius, tapi susah gak nak challenge, Kalao korang jalan ke Mauritius korang tau ler kenapa...it's very different. Memang cantik gila babas sana...and I don't think I've ever been to a place with such wonderful natural attractions as there.
Tapi ni some of the pics aku sempat rakam ler on our time out nak jalan jalan.

Cantik pemandangan, kan??? Sehingga dicemari group pic bebudak naik bot kami tuh yang comprising of member media. Amik ko ada orang tak betui dalam pic ketiga tu sekali. Yang ala lambai padahal tanak diamik gambar kak Izan from Astro, and last pic tu si Faizal merenung sambil si Opee leh baca buku...apa da...


  Time kita nak leave the jetty tu perasan keta ni sebelah jalan lak. Aiyo!!! Abang!!! Apa tido sampai camni... bebudak sempat nak bergambar sebelah keta tuh posing ngan abang tu tanpa dia sedari... keji!!!

Anyway, headed back to the hotel late evening about 5 plus...masa tu bebudak ala ala running on Energizer, masih bertenaga nak main beach volleyball dan sebagainya.
Aku planning nak berenang, tapi kat swimming pool je...sebab dengar baru baru ni ada orang mati lemas kat area hotel Primula nih...so tak mau ler...
Speaking of scary stuff, kami dengar baru sehari dua or something like that sebelom kami dok sana, ada orang bunuh diri kat bilik 401....merasalah Rudy dan Zul dok sebelah bilik tu. Tapi meka tau pasal benda tu masa kita nak check out je...the rest of us tak sampai ati nak bagitau.
Tapi takde ler meka kena kacau ke apa apa...bukan cam masa aku stay Royal Adelphi tu...sampai benda terkut ikut (aku penah cita pasal tu dalam entry lepas lepas masa gi sana tuk rakaman Raya Anita over a year ago).
Back to the topic...erm...supposed aku nak berenang...tapi fell asleep. Jaga jaga, da time nak get ready sebab kami nak bersiap tolak ke Kelab Teluk Warisan tuk Malam Gala Mesra Sokmo Cit Cat.
Again..malas nak cita pasal event tuh...biasa biasa je...cuma..ada ler kekecohan sikit. Korang baca je katg paper kang...memang benda ni akan kecoh.
Aku control je temper aku time tu...tapi ada ler yang kena maki sebakul bukan je ngan aku, tapi media lain dan juga semua artis...
Macam macam....
Apapun, thanks a lot to kerajaan negeri Terengganu for their fantastic hospitality...termasuk seseorang dari SUK tuh...heh!
Ni some of the pics from Malam Gala tuh..again aku malas amik banyak sangat...and yang ada pun quite blur sebab dim sangat lighting dia...but hope you guys like it.

Marsha, Diddy and Velvet.  
Bebanyak pics Akma ni tuk peminat Akma yang rindukan tengok dia....last one with Bob dan Marlia Musa.

 

Setakat tuh jer ler pics dari Ganu. Hope korang suka. I know I had a beach of a time there, walaupun ada umpatan sampai ke telinga aku pasal ada ler dua ekor binatang keji ni nak wat cita ngata aku.
Takper...karma...as I always say. Except in the case of one, it's going to come big, and it's going to come fast. And it's oing to hurt.
Some people so dengki kan kalao kehidupan meka tak amount to much...accusing others of what they do tuk kaburkan orang pasal warped personalities meka nih.
Takper...aku ok jer.
I make more than you, I have more REAL friends that you...and I am making something of myself....the only thing you have...is my sympathy you turned out like this.
Cheers!!! Aku nak end kan entry ni da...esok ada lunch meeting, and then preview of Mukhsin. Malam kang, ke esok aku posting entry baru ek. Toodles!!!

PS. Feedback dari semua memang memberangsangkan tuk 60 Saat Bersama... dan aku bangga bukan je blog readers dan forummers Cari memuji usaha aku, tapi para artis yang sudahpun view usaha aku yang tak seberapa ni sebab it gives them a fairer chance nak deal ngan soalan soalan yang berat sikit nak jawab ni.
Thanks semua!

 

Semalam started early. Masing masing dari kengkawan media sampai ke geng artis, semua turun ngan mata lebam tak cukup tidur berkumpul nak start beberapa aktiviti tuk event Senyum Sokmo nih.
Aduh...my eyes are just going to be so puffy pasnih...asik lack of sleep je. Pas kumpul, kami bertolak kawasan A&W, tuk jemput beberapa agik artis yang baru sampai.
Kecoh lah...dalam lepak lepak, jadik meet the fans session lak.
Ni som of the pics yang aku amik...malas nak cita sangat sebab kang membosankan lak ngan details.
But the whole day was packed, and among the places we went were Muzium Seni, area Losong (jadik hantu kepok), Equestrian Resort...

Awal pagi berkumpul tapi masing-masing bersemangat! Nikki, Yanie, Adi Fashla dan Farish together. Diserbu peminat pun, si Farhan no problem melayan. Ning meanwhile tetap every bit a diva with her new look. Cool highlights!

   Kat Muzium Seni, panas!!! Ni si Nabila dan Que pun pening. Tapi sempat photo session...abang Hattan gung-ho and very upbeat. Banyak sangat photo opportunity sampai pening nak amik pic so sikit sikit je amik. Last pic si Velvet, Farhan, Farish dan Diddy posing sakan.

   Da sanggup posing bersama tanpa masaalah. Diana (Rafar) dan Diana (Naim)
  Kat Equestrian Resort. Bukan gambar pelakon wanita seseorang ni ek. Walaupon moka panjang gaks. Ning dan one of the most gorgeous steeds kat stable at the Equestrian Resort.
    Lunch at A&W. Kak Dibah blanja aku ngan Bob float...tima kasih kak! Lurve ya!!!
  Kat Pasar Besar Payang. Shopping sakan! Tamau kepok...bau ikan bilik hotel. Beli batik je banyak.
    Ni je pic aku amik malam show kat Dataran Shahbandar. From outside looking in. My view from one of the busses into another also with artiste. Sibuk bergambar antara memasing.

Malam tu, letih sebenarnya sebab seharian berjalan...erm buat kerja. Sebenarnya letih nak ke show kat Dataran, but had to.
Tension bijik sebab organisation cam $%^&U. Bayangkan ler crowd beribu tapi security pun takde. Merasalah kena double up jadik emergency security crew ngan bebudak production crew.
Bayang kan ler...FRU takder...RELA takde...polis lak enam orang je bertugas...ngan beberapa yang pangkat besar. Tu pun yang enam orang tu kerja in two shifts. Keji...ramai artis panas je. In fact, this was not the only incident yang bikin panas entourage media dan artis ke sana.
Ramai lagik jadi...malas nak tulis sangat...tapi trust me, semua suratkhabar dan majalah akan kuar ler...panasssss!!!
But all in all...it was stll personally no less fun sebab jarang kan nak ramai ramai kumpul camni. Kecuali time time anugerah. So this was really fun...
Especially so sebab I met seseorang tu yang pernah banyak kali aku serempak kat KL tapi tak penah tegur. Rupa rupanya dia bertugas ngan SUK sana...orang Ganu gak rupanya. Patutler jarang jarang aku tengok muka dia kat KL. kejap ada kejap takde.
Anyway...I got a taste of Terengganu hospitality...and me likey!!!
Hit the pillows dekat kol 6 pagik lebih je pas panjang berceloteh ngan Juan dan si Min dari Bacaria....nanti another update on the long day I went through today...

Hari ni aku nak perkenalkan something yang aku plan before mai Terengganu ni. Dah benda ni in planing for some time, tapi skangje leh execute. Mulai ari ni, aku upload the first webisode of 60 saat bersama...
Program ni eksklufi menampilkan artis menjawab pertanyaan yang orang gosip kan. So pasnih pepandai ler korang suggest nak aku interview sapa, ngan soalan apa.
Everything in 60 seconds or so worth of interview, straight to the point. Cakap ler kalau korang suka ek hasilnya...

Anyways, semalam sampai ke Teregganu, kita semua ke Kelab Teluk Warisan for dinner. Sambil sambil tuh habiskan ler interview yang mana mampu and all. Here are some pics from dinner semalam...

Si Que sibuk gayut...si Velvet lak..entah apa tujuan nak juling jiling ni. Si Diddy lak terikut, dan yang last tuh, teka siapa??? Hah!! Nabila tuh!!!

Letih, tapi seronok ler. Nak gerak check in jap agik. Enjoy the first episode of 60 Saat Bersama... di mana first episode featuring Marsha.
Second episode da siap pun...featuring...erm... tunggu je. Bila ek nak siarkan...nak sekali seminggu ke dua kali seminggu. Matilah aku kalau nak daily kan...heh!
Posting tomorrow....

Pagik tadik ngan mata panda sebab tak tidur, gi join rombongan berkumpul ke Astro untuk nak meet the others ke Terengganu untuk program Mesra Sokmo Cit Cat.
Memang riuh rendah...pening...tapi at least ilang la ngantuk yang mula mula terasa.
There were sampai empat bas. standby, and penoh semua.
Mmm...biasa ler janji Azwan tuh...standby 9 pagik...gerak da dekat kol 11. Sekor sekor tension jer sebab mata masing masing cam kena penumbuk (bukan self inflicted cam kes popular dulu).
Anyways, ni pics dari masa kita nak berlepas.

What's wrong with this picture yang aku snap of the bus aku naik?
  Crowd yang gather masa kat Astro. And antara yang berlepas sekali (Bob, Marsha, Amylea, Nita (sembunyi tepi Razali tuh sambil Velvet usha dari sudut tuh) dan Akma.

Aku malas update sangat....on the road...more coming... oh and by the way...and premiere of something new here esok...so tunggu!!!!
Mana ada wifi tuh aku tompang update....tapi tu pun tengok kalao ada masa ek.

The day has not amounted to much today basically sebab ari ni aku nak rilek sebenarnya. Yerlah...da packing segala kan nak ke Terengganu esok for Cit Cat Sokmo whatever they call it.
So off to the East Coast for four days...facing the beach every other moment, just lazing, and then living it up. Yes, it's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it.
Heh...sebenarnya ari ni special sikit sebab nak wish a good friend a happy birthday. Umo sebenar dia adalah rahsia kerajaan, so takleh bagitau kat sini (mampos aku kalao aku pecah lobang dia). Yes, selamat harijadi Farihad Shalla Mahmud.
Farihad is of course from Berita Harian punya entertainment side. And the small intimate gathering hosted by kak Izan and Co. also saw colleagues dari semua paper.
Ramai ler...from all papers and media represented but all comprising of friends, so sesi kompol gosip gak ler. Sapa ek sana, che Din, Abie, Rudy, Syazwan, Fendi, Zul, Fairuz, JD...lose count ler. Sapa agik aku leave out angkat tangan ok.
Tu je sebenarnya entry aku sebab muka mula ada gak beberapa plan nak enjoy tapi called off all sebab nak packing (dan layan Episode 16 of Heroes)
So...Terenganu...here we come!!! here's to more midnight swims cam in Mauritius!)

PS - Aku akan update ASAP the documented trip there ek. Tunggu!!!!

What you see to the left, is very obvious for what it is.
Yes, ladies and gentleman, it is, unsurprisingly, a bucket of lard. One that represents something actually more detestable in an unimaginable form of something seemingly human, but is no lesser, a bucket of lard (or in this other case, a lard bucket)
Yes, how much is this lard worth?
Like the meaner form that walks on two legs... not much actually.
But I think the one that's not in this picture is worth approximately RM3,500 now (just a symbolicfigure)
Oh well, it's amazing what the scientific manipulation of genetics can achieve when lard can have two legs and supposedly come with an education and personality. Yes, enough education to be in questionable employment status despite its opportunities (what a waste of money) and also, enough personality to manipulate one sob story and wring it for what it's worth to get RM3,500. Acting like a forlorn, stray, bitch, howling away, by the road has its advantages.
Back on track, lard bucket, however does not have enough personality however to admit to either that they were told the same reason. Nor that the date of payback will be anytime within its life expectancy (oh wait a minute, for it, it couple simply mean any minute now probably...silver lining for you eh?)
Stop the presses!
There is one major difference though, at least this bucket of lard is recognised for it has been published. The lard bucket on the other hand, remains anonymous because it's butt ugly features (very apt description) does not allow it to roam in human domain for its extreme inferiority complex (I'd like to say self awareness)
And yet, strangely enough, it reacts strongly to those it does not seem able to manipulate...
Oh well...
I don't need lard in my system anyway. Been meaning to lose weight. At least I'll get things that fit...

PS - Saja je nak entry suka suka tulis pasal lemak. Benci kan lemak lemak ni...they hang around you and don't serve a purpose and yet somehow ooze their way about to be noticed, despite the shudders it invites. Tak salah kan merapu sekali sekala... at least I admit it when I do it...
Now let's all sing 'Loving You' originally sung by the ever angelic sounding Miss Minnie Julia Riperton....no not the verse, "lovin' you....is easy cause you're beautiful" (this doesn't apply here no matter what optical illusions you use)...try the chorus bit..."la la la la lard! la la la la lard! la la la la la, la la la lard!!!!!"

PS Pt I - Life sure sucks eh when you hit rock bottom and you start thinking the only silver lining is at least it's only going up from now. Gravity has it's say, bitch! Bring it on! I know where it hurts...and you don't want me to go there.

PS Pt II - I dedicate this to real friends who don't manipulate people, and to the two losers who will never have treasures like that. No matter what they claim.

PS Pt III - Watch out for my musings on the anorexic hunchback geek who jerks off in front of the webcam soon (description provided by the 'honest' lard bucket). If I think it's worth my time. This one was, in a twisted way, like watching people stepping on bugs (this one's lower in the food chain though - but serves just as much purpose for existing)

Ari ni didn't do much. Of cource slept in sebab tengah cuti. This is the time I recover from the endless appopintments and assignments.
Tapi dalam nak bangun lewat (hajat jer tuh), tetap ada yang kejutkan ngan SMS dan call. This time nak check on supposed Leez dapat watak Saliha dalam Aduh Saliha.
Ok...aku tau ramai tanya pasal bab ni. Secara jujur aku cakap....er.... benda ni tak official lagik... so takleh cakap ler.
Sejauh mana kebenaran Leez dapat watak ni...yes she auditioned. Pernah aku kuarkan story pasal bagaimana ramai pelakon wanita who are quite known, bakat bakat yang lahir dari Akademi Fantasia...dan ramai lagi yang went for the casting call.
But honestly there is no official word (no komen ler tul ke tak siapa dapat watak)>
Tapi yang kelakarnya, Elyana antara favourite for the role. Yerrr!!! Betul!!!
Al kisahnya, dengar yang meka cari pompuan yang nak bak title character tuh kena muka kampung, so memang meka nak Elyana (gelak sikit).
Still in the end, she turned it down for her other bigger movie roles (note more sarcastic laughter). Will wonders never cease...
Anyways...aku hanya leh cakap for now apa yang orang tau, which is Mawi, Felix dan Leez ada menghadiri kelas lakonan bersama for the past few weeks already. Lain kena tunggu lah more info semakin dekat shooting ok.
Kalau ada rezeki, aku akan posting gambar dari lokasi kang, kalao abang Nasir kata ok.
Apapun, tengahari esok patutnya jumpa Mawi sat ada hal...so expect more postings on that.
Sebut pasal filem ni, aku nak posting video sikit pasal Mukhsin ni. Ramai yang tak tengok lagik (sebab lom preview), so betul ke yang komen kata Mukhsin ni best sangat? Well...I already said it's impressive as many others yang da tengok. So have the Berlinale members of jury. Tapi ni a trailer from the movie. Judge for yourself.

Official trailer for Mukhsin.

Iklan Silky White with Sharifah Aryana. FUNNY!!!! AND SO BLOODY TRUE OF SOME KG.COM PEOPLE I KNOW!

Anyway, two big numbers (defined by the emotions that they evoke) is Nina Simone's Ne Me Quitte Pas (Don't Leave Me) dan lagu keroncong song called Hujan (it's in the trailer), written by ayah Yasmin sendiri ok yang dalam filem tu dinyanyikan oleh Adibah Noor.
Yang second clip tuh kalao ada yang tak penah tengok, iklan Silky White..and a supposed clip from Mukhsin. Amik ko!!! Tergelak aku... good stab at some idiots who just turn up their noses at others, and yet it ends up that they're nothing but sour grapes, saying what they have to, to make themselves feel better. How pathetic can you get at trying to seek validation.
Tapi nak wat per kan... it's like a simple metaphor of my own life now.... ah well.. they can have their own heads up their arses (as Yasmin once said in an interview) but sometimes you just have to learn to ignore the moving lips that are adept at doing nothing but that. 
More on films, kalau ingat aku penah sebut pasal BMW Shorties. Just wanted to say, for those of you who entered (the closing date was last week), the gala premiere of the event is on March 16, so for those of you who qualified, see you there.
And good luck to winning RM50,000 and representing Malaysia at international film festivals backed by BMW. By the way, how am I tying this mention in? Easy... Yasmin's one of the judges.
Ok...more in tomorrow's entry...
