Today was a sad day. Selepas berminggu ketahui he was sick, and ramai,
termasuk diri aku tengah pikir camna nak larikan diri dari kesibukan
kerja untuk melawat dirinya,...now's it's too late.
Pada mereka yang kenal Azman Ahmad, or better known as Cleo, yang
pernah berkhidmat dengan New Straits Times dan The Malay
Mail...sudahpun kembali ke rahmatullah...he passed away earlier today.
All of us are filled with grief over his passing. To all Muslims, kalau
leh please sedekahkan al-fatihah...semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan
tergolong bersama dengan orang-orang yang beriman. Cleo, rest in
peace...and we'll meet again in your 70s inspired sense of fashion with
loud leopard prints and platform shoes. From all of us...Cleo.... just like disco lived on forever for you, so do you in our hearts.
Aku ari ni rileks, with not much work, tapi apapon, belah malam sempat ler catch Diarrhea tadik Don't really bother about Jolyn Tsai ke haper nama minah ni masuk Akademi nak ajar si Dafi nak sebut betul betul. Berterabur gak mamat ni, but ok ler. Ada niat nak improve, but that's not quite enough is it...hopefully remember gak yang eventual result yang penting. Heh...tapi yang besh tengok si Ebi ni wat keja rumah. Banyak ler yang hajat nak nak masuk minang pasni. Syarikat bas kaya ler pasni memacam rombongan tempah. Rizal nampaknya akan perform lebih baik dari Aswad bab lagu English ni sebab sebutan dia masih leh ditolong ler. Still horrifying gak ler nak layan dia but benefit of the doubt. Mila memang akan tercabar vokal dia this week because nampaknya vocals strained nak project herself, which I have no idea why sebab dia ada range to cover it. Aku bukan je pejam mata, m,alah tup telinga skali jap, sama seperti aku akan buat ketika konsert kang. Candy was amazing...and I think her performance will be on to look forward to, and Ebi pun ok gak. Two of the night's best possible best performance for konsert yang akan daytang. Seperti si Mila, Heliza pun merisaukan because I don't know why she's struggling with Nafas Cahaya. Apapon aku mintak dia mampu ler perform this song, and prove it finally that she's worth it for the final. Sapa pemilik syarikat produk kecantikan nih. First of all, mak bapak aku ajar, masa makan, it's rude to speak at the table. Depan rezeki kan? Erm..tapi biasa la..kalao dok kat Bangsar punya area makan pun, ada je travelling salesman nih kan yang walking around peddling their wares. Ni kira lebih kurang lah. Memacam produk ni...mesti erm 'keras' budak budak ni, dan kemut ngan Power Root dan pelbagai nih yang meka minom tiap ari. Skang nak licinkan drii...erm..whatever. Erm...how amusing nak bukak botol leh jadik lawak si bang Adnan ni...ler ting tong jer. Uh oh...here we go. Projek kronisme promo buku yang di tulis dan dipublish oleh kengkawan pun berjalan ngan cikgu Bahasa Inggeris yang begitu hebat ni. Teruja aku nak feeling poetic sangat gak ler...ni my original creation diinspirasikan oleh sesi tuh, "green is my phlegm, and mucus, when I feel the creeping horror eventually overwhelming me, and results in the urge to hurl at the very sight of you." Best performers mendeklamasikan sajak ni, Candy dan Dafi, sebab Candy begitu keras dan masculine, dan Dafi begitu lembut in delivery. Role reversal gituh. Let's not mention Heliza, sebab walaopon dia ok ngan lenggok dia sedap, tapi dia terpaksa nak partner ngan si Aswad. Paham pahan ler kalao reciting in English ni. Ebi, Shawal and Rizal were horrendous simply because takde originality, sumbang nak hancus and haram paham sepatah. Aku sempat nak berair mata Shawal diketemukan ngan adik dia.That was really touching, and the BEST moment in Diarrhea selama ni. Aduh....terus dalam tak sedar tercapai handphone nak AFUNDI lak. Ok ok...that's not the reason to vote, and talent should be it...merasalah pastu lak sesi urut agik. Merasalah orang lain berair lain kan!!! Kalau tak naik AFUNDI pasni aku tatau ler. Erm...was it my imagination yang tukang urut dia senyum lain jer ker apa. Amik ko. Erm...don't get Linda's class, tapi per per ler. Cam tak betul lak budak budak ni menari. Bak kata Farihad, si Ebi memang sesuai menang tarian terbaik ngan tarian istimewa ciptaannya yang patutnya diberikan nama EBI-lepsi. Hik...kelakar lak Ebi. Fast forward, meka ramai ramai nyanyi lagu tuk mama Heliza...tapi bunyi nyanyian cam, "Oh mamakkkkkk!"Last scene terpaksa si Khairul Najmi membuktikan dia membuat keja tuk justify gaji dia kat Astro ni ngan jadik tukang masa tuk bebudak sambil selang selikan pujian, "Niceeeeee...." bila Rizal menyanyi Argh!!! Nak makan la...toodles.
Er...that was what I had to put up with it with Diarrhea hari ni.
Aduh....I think it was good that kak Fati was teaching them about
pemnghayatan dan sebagainya, tapi I wonder how many of the kids
actually paham. I kind of like Ebi's acting sebab walaopon Rizal orang
perhatikan dia memang leh lakon, aku rasa Ebi lebih bersahaja. But
leave me alone tuh was one of the of the many lines they used to
understand about stressing n the right words to express emotion, and
the manner of expressing to allow for variety in their delivery. Wonder
if they understand the applications and the implications of what they
were taught/ The others biasa biasa saja bab lakonan...so layan je ler meka masing masing menjerit sana sini. Oh
look...lepas bak badut dalam Akademi, skang meka bak magician lak.
Ala...si Shahrill ke apa nama dia. Ok, so I kid of like his illusions
and tricks, but erm...still wondering apa significance of his
appearance, and wasting about 10 minutes or more of our time, apart
from the non-related promotion of the programme. Merasalah kanak kanak
DILARANG meniru aksi ini punya disclaimer...cool tricks. Tapi salah
time slot ler.
Pastu kalao nak promo sangat...why show it on Wednesday night...kan
elok kuar Diari malam semalam...sempat orang nak tengok selepas
Diarrhea Ni kena tunggu seminggu kalao tol da interested ngan kebolehan
dak ni kan? By that time pun da lupa.
Apapon...cute lak si Mila wat her version of magic.Dia ni lama lama
makin menyerlah personalitinya walaopon pada mula irritating or non
existent....skang cam bubbly.Teringat Farah dari musim kedua. More
topless Shawal scenes (semakin naik undi....anything it takes
nampaknya) Aduh...promo agik ke....Salam Medical Centre lak... Ebi
ngigau ek...tapi sound effect pon leh tahan. Trigger seperti biasa,
nak pancing sapa suka sapa, so kak Fati dan Askrul ditugaskan tanya da
laki berapa orang ni suka pompuan mana. Si Ebi kata Diya...si Aswad kata Dekna (kesian Dekna...) Erm...Dafi?
Suka sapa ek? Aiks sebut Zana? Zana dan Aswad? Sesuai. How productive
ler kan....it's interesting masuk Akademi masa meka begitu elok
diperhabiskan.Candy dan Farha lak...Rizal ke yang kata suka
Heliza.Pening...speku Heliza tanya Ebi, samaada dia suka kat Heliza.
Kenapa la lagu Drama punya choreography busuk sangat. Apa lah salah
pakai yang original kalao tak mampu nak make it better. And kalao
korang perasan ketika rehearsal, muik dia tetap polyphonic. Mungkin
meka improve it on the concert day itself? Susah sangat pakai je ler
minus one. Er...ok. Nak sambung pasal Anugerah Planet Muzik 2007.
Bosan siot. Bukan apa...the best thing is that I'm going to Singapore
this June for it ler. But kinda sad was the fact that most of the
nominations Indonesians sebab tahun ni bakat bakat meka conquer the
jury punya choices. Malaysia as usual masuk kategori populariti je
kontrol. Nanti aku paste the full list. Here's the four SMS/public vote
awards yang korang leh influence.
Ni the four awards yang public voted tuh. Full list aku letak besok. Korang nak more info, gi check out Ria FM or Warna FM Singapore.
But don't count on it. I'm NOT impressed with their standard of web
pages. Tengok dua station berbahasa Meloayu bawah MediaCorp tuh. Cam
takde bajet abih...aduh...I think most blogs look nicer, ok. And info
cam tarak je...nanti aa esok aku update agik. Nak kuar...
Saja sambil korang tunggu update aku ari ni (sebenarnya tak leh tido),
korang usha ni la music video original versions lagu lagu tugasan yang
di berikan tuk konsert keenam Akademi Fantasia ujung minggu ni, Enjoy!
Pasni mintak semua mahir sikit nilai camna performance bebudak ek, so
takleh main bagik can kata bagus kalao azab. Pepandai ler nilai
yer....sorry lagu Shawal Peronda Jaket Biru dari Wings takde...same
ngan video lagu tugasan Candy, Gadis Dan Bunga dari Rahimah Rahim.
Apapon enjoy (gelak sakan tengok video clip Iwan terbayangkan Aswad!
Dan rasa tua gila sebab tengok video clip Awas teringat masa kat
tuh....oh by the way, dak pompuan semua no hal la bertiga nak handle
G.I.G. Kalau Elite empat orang, meka bertiga...heh...hardly a problem
considering Elite were crap to begin with. Be posting later this evening pasal Anugerah Planet Muzik 2007!
Rizal - That Thing You Do (The Wonders)
Dafi - Meteor Garden Theme - Qing Fei De Yi (Harlem Yu)
Ari
ni rilek sikit. Keja tak berat dan senang je nak settle. Remainder of
the day left to my design. Managed to catch Diarrhea today sebab nak
check out how the progress of the kids were going. Erm...nyesal
lak. Bukan sebab burok ke apa, but somehow it didn't do anything for
me. Wat risau lebih konsert akan datang ni bakal membosankan ada le
ngan apa yang ditunjuk. Amik ko!!! Mesti undian Shawal naik! Tunjuk
ia kena urut topless katanya.... pegi physiotherapist (tul ke ejaan
aku? malas lak nak check main type je) tapi ala ala lain jer ngan urut
berminyak dan sebagainya. Sesuatuh! Ramai yang merembes ler kaedahnya. Oh well... apa pon jadik ler asalkan masuk undian katanya. Da programming pandai nak cari jalan je. Awmigawd!!! What the....mengilai haper tuh. Terkejut....
Almost as scary as "yuuuuuu....duin dat ting uuu doooo"...amik ko Rizal
ko practising. Scary lah images like this nak bayangkan bebudak ni nama
da lepas sekolah but simple words pon susah nak sebut. Tapi salute bab at least dia cuba ler...still it wasn't enough ok. "The hart-ake":
Amik ko cikgu Bahasa Inggeris tuh da mai Ganding ngan cikgu Syafi nak
work on this boy's English. Alamak.....cikgu Fati pun kena masuk.
Aduh...da tiga tenaga pengajar masuk...kalao hancur gak, tatau la nak
cakap apa. I'm not holding my breath though... OH Lord! If that was scary....amik ko...gelekan Ass-wad lak. Aduh...horror! Adengan popiah hangus pun leh jadik cita katanya. Now you know you're short of stories. Korang ingat tak masa musim pertama si Atie latih ngan CD player kat tangga. Teringat lak bila Dafi berlatih ngan Heliza.
I don't get why Mila had to squeal camtuh. Rupanya tuh ler bunyi
mengilai tuh. Aduh nak gelak pon leh....cam bunyi
kena...erm...nevermind. Mintak dia mampu carry Drama ler. Oh Lord
have mercy!!!! What the @#$%^&* are they doing???!!! Kelas bahasa
Inggeris apa ni? Pening la...entah apa meka belajar camni. I think
English has become a joke, Elokla tengah practise tuh anak Linda
lak mai bak kucing. Aduh...and they can really afford to waste time. No
wonder they can pull off Menuju Puncak so well.....NOT!!!!!
Oh well at least Mila improved on Drama by the end of Diarrhea. There's
still hope. Ok...esok ada event. Post more about that tomorrow.
Argh!
Ujan tak henti ari ni, traffic jam everywhere. Dari rumah, ke opis,
then kena rush ke Astro lak for something with AC Di Sini. Beberapa
orang bloggers berhimpun for the night including aku, mrmanager, Budiey sekaligus join up ngan sultanmuzaffar dan Ajami. Pas abih impromptu meeting tu, rushing lak dari sana sebab ada yang bising nak layan Diarrhea, so ngan dia head ke rumah Budiey yang menjemput ke rumah for the programme.
Elok sangat...yeay....Astro bak masuk street performer! I love Ujang,
but honestly kan, takde kena mengena tol ngan what they have to do on
the stage or with their careers. Then masuk gak bab iklan tuk
Admiral dan New Balance. Aiyo! Perlu ke....Urghhh!!!! Today takde drama
dalam pilihan lagu and meka ni semua subdued sikit. Kesian lak tengok
Ebi ngan mata dia sakit...teringat lak masa aku sakit mata ari tu.
Merasalah naik hantar Gucci sepasang kat Akademi (er...just a joke) Lagik kesian tengok rambut dia...aduh bila meka nak get him a haircut....
Shawal lak merayu nak Awie masuk Akademi (eh...did he say he penah bak
lagu FAIZAL Zainal?). Then Candy lak nak Rahimah Rahim lak.Matilah
semua nak penyanyi asal masuk Akademi nak ajar. Gila ke
apa...heh...tapi ok gak kalao sorang dua yang lom agik dapat kejutan
apa salahnya.
Shawal - Peronda Jaket Biru (Awie) Aswad - Yang Sedang Sedang Saja (Iwan) Dafi - Meteor Garden Theme - Qing Fei Dei Yi (Harlem Yu) RIzal - That Thing You Do (The Wonders) Ebi - Jujur (Radja) Lagu Bonus Pelajar Lelaki - Awas (KRU)
Candy - Gadis Dan Bunga (Rahimah Rahim) Mila - Drama (Nikki, Ning & Yanie) Heliza - Nafas Cahaya (Misha Omar) Lagu Bonus Pelajar Perempuan - G.I.G. (Elite)
Er...aku tak paham intention meka jadik Ebi head of the cleaners nak
kemas Akademi. But happy gak tengok dia leh assume an air of leadership
without nak berangan. Hih....dak laki turun lambat, Dafi kata pasal
cuci blusher? (matilah aku kena maki ngan someone - jangan saman aku!!!)
Pasa bab evaluation aku rasa banyak benda kena edit. Mana Roslan Aziz
takde langsung ni nak join tegur bebudak. Apa gunanya camni kalao
evaluation. Nama pon pengetua....s mana dia? Bukan ke dia kena
supervise...hish! Pasal bab teguran, cuma Adnan Abu Hassan je layan
nak komen. I love kak Fati, but takde kena mengena ngan performance
actually for me...Khairul Najmi lagik tak perlu berada sana. He should
be there SEBELUM bebudak tu buat perfomance, to prepare so meka tak
hancur cam si Aswad dan Dekna punya English. Linda Jasmine pun tak
relevant kat sana, dan makes it worse. Apa lak dia leh mintak bebudak
tuh tapis komen buang yang buruk. How they supposed to know what's good
or not for them to amik or buang when meka ni lm sampai tahap tuk nak
tahu apa yang bagus atau tidak. That was just silly. Semua nak puji,
apa yang kurang elok pasal performance meka ni. Cuma Aswad dan si Rizal kena tegur (sesuai pon)...tapi yang lain? Hurmmppphh...camna nak improve??? Oh well..biasa la kan....nak baik je...so tatau ler how they going to improve. Eh. Nak keluar makan.
PS - Logo aku tuh aku tukau sikit. Jangan terkejut, fuc ut vivas
doesn't mean anything rude...tapi it's sort of my new slogan. Dedicated
to the losers, which means, 'get a life' in Latin. Heh!
Met my sis before the concert. Ari ni dia akan pindah ke new place in
Bangsar, belakang opis aku je. Cantik lak tempat tuh. So semalam petang
jumpa dia pasal dia nak bagik kunci. Dan also na pass dia duit
sebab, for once, I am putting aside my savings to make sure aku tak
sentuh. Hah...semalam kali pertama aku reached my withdrawal limit kat
ATM ok, kuarkan RM5,000 tuk first round nak invest. Akak aku jadik
broker aku (cam real je investment lelebih lak) Eh lari topik...ni
reviewnya... Then rushed to Dewan Sivik. Reached at about 8pm. Tapi
entah...cam tak kick sebab ramai kawan-kawan ke Kuantan untuk Fiesta
Media Idola. Ok...on with the show... The intro was contrived. It
was colourful but bosan sikit sebab berterabur choreography, dan tak
vary sangat sebab lagu panjang jadik boring sikit after a while. Aku
tak paham kenapa meka nak pilih lagu Hindustan, knowing these kids
can't deliver a perfect performance. Bukan senang tuh....tapi meka leh
rasa budak budak ni mampu. Hasilnya? Nan ado!!!! Tak kuasa yang
pakai sarung pala dan rambut palsu sintetik dan juga yang srang
agik yang membosankan tahap 10 pada skala Richter. Keji sangat...
Overall, the intro, aku noticed Dekna for some reason yang outstanding
sebab ada something yang stand out. Heliza is quite a good dancer
surprisingly, the best among the girls sebab aku nampak fluidity of her
body movement, Shawal dan Ebi pun menyerlah sangat among the boys.
The girls tenggelam sikit overall, walaopon time Mila ke depan solo
dance break katanya... still it was all cam tenggelam sikit.
Eh..Jee takde. Main netball tuk FMI ke... ke ada show (apa
gelak???...tul la aku tanya nih). Yeay...ada Syafinaz. Hopefully she'll
deliver the juice ler on these kids. Bab Syafinaz ni aku takleh laser
because dia memang proven pun. Now this is someone yang layak komen.
Seronok berita si Yin da jumpa, tapi pelik kuar lkur berita ni ak
sebab Astro takde pon nak tayangkan dak tuh punya pic awal awal ketika
Akademi Fantasia. Motif jumpa nak lelebih lak??? Merasalah nak
tumpang umum berita. The Cicakman clips were cute, tapi cam takde umphh! Sama ngan mami jarum tuh punya segment. Boleh lah.... Now on with the rest of the show.
Estranged - Itu Kamu (Estranged) Best tengok Rich banyak da improve after just less than a year, he's brushed up so much dan live dia memang besh. Dia tak SUMBANG, tak FLAT...tak MENJERIT dan tak lari MELODY or TEMPO langsung.
Oh and good showmanship from Rich pun...suka tengok, pergerakan pentas
dia da cam pro. Memang banyak ler improvement...impressive! Kalao
dulu Bob Lokman, dulu kata Rich munafik hanya sebab bak guitar tapi tak
plugged, aku syukur Rich tak bak mic stand konon play air guitar ke apa
apa. Aku nak standing ovation kat Rich dan Estranged. At
least proven they rock the house! Hah...? Ada yang lain yang perform
ke? Tak nampak... da tup mata sumbat telinga sebab nak elak
berdarah. Eh....siapa kena boo tu? Kesian Rich dan Estranged....oh bukan ditujukan kat meka ke? Sesuai...
Dafi - Bibir Mesra Jiwa Parah (Zam Zam)
Er...despite my confusion over Syafinaz's statement "you are one good
looking creature", selepas dengar semua komentar, aku banyak
stuju he has a long, long way to go with his vocals. Merasalah kena
laser skali tak cukup masculine. Hattan bosan manjang je....erm...
kat contestant yang sorang agik, yang bapak dia kawan baik tuh, ok je
komen walauapapon...erm...impartial ke....tertanya sikit ler.
Mila - Puncak Kasih (Ziana Zain) She started off on a much higher key. Aiyo...risau teramat. Ni baru masuk first verse, mampu ke nak carry chorus?
Wow...sampai gak. Rupanya range dia tinggi abih, soprano like perhaps?
Aku rasa lebih dari Candy tuh. Slack sikit je pasal pitching sana sini,
and also in some spots mendatar, but apart from that tergamam gak ngan
sora dia. Weaknesses dia bak kata Syafinaz is her lower rangeand her lack of improvisation which would have coloured the song more. Kira consistency dia untuk minggu ketiga maintain ler. Dia ni, kira kalao ikut, deserving of the final kalao ikut standards.
Aswad - 60s TV (OAG) WHAT THE #$%^&*()P???!!!!
Dari rambut ke baju dia ke tarian dia yang cam kena sawan, all the way
to vocals dia yang cam epileptic seizure time chorus, aku
seriously terbodoh tengok persemabahan dia. Cam badut sarkas tak betui. Or a strung up old drag queen with the wrong song.... Painful...the most horrendous performance overall of the whole season.
Tima kasih oler kan pada guru Bahasa Inggeris meka yang berjaya sangat
ler kannnnn nak ajar English darjah tiga punya standard. How can
you not understand the lyrics of 60s TV???!! Tu pun setakat brapa baris
yang berulang pun tak mampu paham dan sebut bebetul??? How can you not memorise and be able to sing it. HOW??? Patutnya lima pam jamban tapi bagi discount satu sebab video clip 'I'm washing'.
Heliza - Diam Diam Jatuh CInta (Ramlah Ram)
Dari buka mulut jer aku senyum, sebab ni lah persembahan dia yang aku
tunggu. This is her more stable vice yang aku tau dia mampu. Still not
the best, but ok ler. The song suited her to a tee, but it's not the
best yet and dia mampu show lagi yang lebih meletup sebab lagu ni lum
killer enough. Showmanship dia pun ngan Shawal was cute and distracted my attention from that horrible pink dress she was wearing. Erm...Candy kali kedua backing tuh. Cam bosan je muka dia.Kesian... Thank you Syafinaz for explaining the difference ebetween vibrato, tremolo dan wobbling sebab masih ramai tak paham beza.
Aku rasa vocal got nice potential, but aku rasa ridiculous sebab Hattan
mintak nak meka bangkang pasal bab idea show, sebab empat musim
wardrobe tak penah pon pelajar dapat bangkang sebelom perubahan. So salah sapa for not bringing out the best in them.
Erm...apa lak nak peraga baju Normah tuh...take away spotlight dari
performance Heliza lak. Keji Erml...ketatnya muka dia sampai cakap
pon...erm..no komen!
Ebi - Layu Sebelum Berkembang (Broery Marantika)
The intro was weird sebab banyak benda cam tak masuk. I don't know why
decided to jazz it up more than necessary sebab bebudak ni live music
masih tak mampu nak follow sangat. And the piano wuld have been fine,
if they hadn't decided t make it semi-minus one. Erm...it wasn't that good honestly walaupon aku tau Ebi besh.
Sebenarnya lagu ni, lebih senang dari segi nak menyerlahkan suara, tapi
in total contradiction, lebih susah because there is more need to
be sentitif to the changes. Sustain ni an issue like Syafinaz said,
and bretah support too is another good thing she pointed out. Jee ado
katanya...ok...not too bad, but not that good either.
Candy - Berdua Lebih Baik (Acha Septriasa)
She didn't do as bad. Yerlah kalau masa Diarrhea ada pelajar sibuk kata
dia flat, tapi aku rasa takde la si Candy ni se flat yang dikatakan,
ataupun at least tak sebegitu kalao banding ngan tukang mengata tuh. She did decently, tapi sebab dia maintain jer prestasi dia mungkin pengkritik tak nampak kot. Still, one of the better performances of the night, though not the best.
Rizal - Pada Syurga Di Wajahmu (Nash)
Malas nak ulas panjang. Dia ni memang aku da dari awal kata leh jadik
pelakon ke host TV programme je. Harap rupa. Sebab lain...erm...
Nyanyian dia? Masuk minggu kelima la dia ni masih horrible gila.
Sumbang dari segala aspek. The worst easily AGAIN. Tapi takde la
seteruk Aswad kali ni..so second worst ler.
Dekna - Unfaithful (Rihanna)
Memang haram sepatah sepanjang lagu. Dari segi tu lebih teruk dari
Aswad. Tapi vocally dia still maintain dari level minggu lepas denagn
suara yang kira way better than quite a few of them. And trust me,
she can sing better live than RIhanna, sebab aku penah witness dia wat
show kat Bangkok yang kebanyakkannya miming dan bila live lak hancur.
Tapi sebab penghayatan, hancus sikit. So back to the issue of a
language barrier, patutnya Ogy dan si Syafinaz patut salahkan cikgu
Bahasa Inggeris. Astro...sila dapatkan cikgu bahasa Inggeris yang baru
Shawal - Cinta Tak Karuan (Amigos)
Don't care what anyone said about this. I thought he was good...not
fantastic, but good. Aku rasa pelik bab Hattan ni semua dia kritik
kecuali seorang je yang dia beriya support. I really think someone has to look into the reality of whether ada bias tak soal komen. Erm...Ogy bagik statement of the night in, "terima kasih kerana melangkah keluar comfort zone etc". A closing to a rather mediocre night di mana aku rasa dia amng the best.
Overall konsert ni kureng sket high, cam konsert kedua, tapi masih kira
ok. Not as fun as last week sebab pilihan lagu dan persembahan ala ala
kadar jer dari bebudak Apapun, yang aku nak highlight, hasil peratusan setelah Malaysia membuat keputusan dan jari meka jadik juri..
Hurm....ada yang jatuh berdentum cam nangka busok rupanya. Apapun aku
kesian dua orang je, si Dekna yang terkeluar dan si Candy. Dekna sebab
dia memang ada potential. Walaupon mula mula nyampah tahap gaban ngan
dia sampai dapat nama GEDEKNA....tapi in weeks later pas dia mula
concentrate, da nampak dia ni mampu gak sebenarnya. Just a case of a
little too late. Si Candy lak among the best tapi tetap dok bawah...tak paham tol.
Yang tuk two weeks running terlepas elimination si Rizal tuh, please
lah. Ensem ke haper ke...kalao da sumbang mambang nyanyian tuh, piala
sumbang-sih je layak dia menang. Aduh....but like Syafinaz bagitau
lepas abih konsert, "Ala....sejak bla yang right ones selalu kena
eliminated dari competition camni". So true....anyway seronok dapat
jumpa Afza, anak buah Ebi. Penah nampak kat Dewan, tapi tak penah tegur
walaupon dia forummer Cari gak. At least dapat sembang...walaopon
sekejap. Woit...Afza...jangan lupa benda aku cakap tuh! Next week! Ok ler guys...esok aku letak pic ek....nak dating. Sunday ni apart from a day of rest nak beriadah sikit. Heh!!!
Patutler ada je benda yang went wrong yesterday.,.oh well...you win
some, you lose some. Seb baik aku seharian stay away from most things
that matter. Tak caya ek...well...benda camni terpulang.
I'm not really superstitious but there's something weird about that particular date. Bame Hollywood for making me believe it.
Ok...ni nak sambung pasal cita smalam tuh. Abihkan kerja yang perlu earlier in the day Sebenarnya hari ni relax, so terlebih rajin nak update keja esok lak just now. Senang...kalau camtuh, esok, I mean pagi ni, leh senang sikit ati takyah kelam kabut. Lagikpun, pikirkan nak ada peluang time off nak dating. Lama gak tak rasa nak romantic ni nak jalan-jalan berduaan nak layan tengok wayang dan sebagainya. Oh...pada yang kat Langkawi... aku da letih nak usaha. Ko malas nak usaha, jangan salahkan aku kerana tak berusaha. Dah mungkin takde jodoh, dan ada lain yang lebih berminat.... aku hanya mampu tahan sebegitu lama. Takkan nak buktikan segalanya tanpa sebelah pihak lak berusaha membuktikan lak kan. I haven't given up...just I feel it's your turn. And kalao ko tak nak... NEXT! Ada yang nunggu kat Sarawak...tapi jauh lak. Skang dok PJ senang sikit. Apapun...nanti aku sambung bab tuh. Balik soal siang tadik, abih keja je, aku gegas ke Shangri-La tuk jumpa Vern, kerana Ning, Nikki dan Yanie ada show Secretaries Week. Bukan gi nak layan show, tapi sekadar as a meeting point. Tunggu sat, layan Jovian dan Megat yang ada sekali. Amik ko...aku leh ngaku antara the very few in Malaysia untuk lihat gambar baju Linda yang dikecohkan tak berapa lama dulu. Oops...was I not supposed to say that. Apapun...CANTIK!!!! sultanmuzaffar tiba tak lama kemudian and we all piled into his car, together skali ngan si Elly dari Harian Metro ke Bukit Aman. Di situ, rupanya ada wartawan dari Berita Harian dan Utusan dah tunggu kami sekali. Kami lambat teramat, sebab janji 4.30pm nak sampai tapi tiba sejam kemudian, thanks to our tardiness, and the rain and the traffic jam (matila perasan artis glamour ke nak grand entrance nih!!!). Tak jadi nak wat report kat sana, because initially we thought we had to lodge the report kat Cybercrimes Unit or whatever but we were told we first had to lodge a normal police report kat any police station. So we piled back in the car and headed for Balai Tun. H.S. Lee, or the Dang Wangi station dekat ngan Stadium Merdeka dan Stadium Negara. Finally at 6.40pm, sultanmuzaffar filed the report under his name, including me and Vern in the report for the harrasment and threats received since early this week.Thank you ler pada officer Bhawani yang rilek je amik report tuh. Perghhh...canggih ok skang nak wat report. Dia ada dual screen PC yang echo whatever you type. Kira ko wat report tuh, ko leh type masuk terus (tengok sultanmuzaffar type tuh ambil MrManager perhatikan - matila aku mencelah je jadik tukang proofreader dan bagi satu dua ayat). Merasalah aksi ala ala update blog di balai. Apapun thank you to officer Bhawani sebab baik giler.... After we were done, we went to grab a bite, aku da resah sikit sebab da kol 9 dah. TIket wayang pon tak beli lagik. Janji ngan si 'dia' nak movie date for Jangan Pandang Belakang. I don't know which is scarier... tengok horror movie malam Jumaat ke...going on a movie date after so long on the same night. Took a pic to remember the moment - hey...it's a first ok for Malaysian bloggers. First step in initiating action before anything. Let me make this clear - tujuan laporan ni dibuat adalah untuk pertamanya, keselamatan kami sendiri, dua untuk tindakan susulan terhadap pihak yang bertanggungjawan, and ketiga, mengajar anyone with an Internet access and decides to main lepas molot anonymously, and that this country has laws, and if we the bloggers have to abide it, that also means readers too have a responsibility to police themselves. We were doing out best by being responsible bloggers by revealing our identity and also considering whatever we say (as laser as we are, we make sure there's no case kalao in the court of law - and trust us, we do check).This one's for all Malaysian bloggers. We're speaking up too...like some of our community members, and we hope this will not stop. Kalao nak cita lebih, beli Harian Metro atau Berita Harian ari ni.
Hah...tengok si Elly tuh...rajin ok nak amik pic police report sambil Vern enter frame gambar. Ni masa kita tengah dinner and sekaligus interview ngan Elly for Harian Metro. Rushed back to the office, sent Elly, booked a couple of tickets online for the midnight show, and met my date in Bangsar itself. Sampai ke panggung kat MidValley by 11pm, an hour earlier than showtime at midnight. Picked up the tickets (beli ok...jangan kata aku promo tapi tak penah beli tiket!) and bought some snacks, lounged about and then made our way into the hall at about 11.40pm. Terkejut sebab ada dua orang cleaner masih dalam proses membersihkan dewan. Oops...that's a record. Dok for ten minutes, and foud the mood horribly eerie! Erm.... went out, we asked the usher kalao kami salah panggung ke, ticket misprint ke...dia kata tak. Sambil gelak, he practically threw us back in the hall and parted iwth a reminder.... "jangan pandang belakang". Setan!!! Dahler seat kami kat tengah, smack in the middle...takde orang kat dalam tuh...lampu lak malap. Keji!!! Arghh!!! Not a good way to die,... on a first date with dia yang comel tuh. We mula mula tried talking to drown out the silence, tapi then both of us were so blody creeped out, we stopped talking. Susah tau nak maintain romantic bia tengah horror, expecting something to grab your feet from below your seat. Aduh!!! Aku sempat amik pic panggung kosong tuh...nak remind me of how horrific this was.... if the movie wasn't. Ni gambar bukti how scary the cinema was...ok! Chickened out of turning around (sebab kami dok belah tengah), so just flipped my mobile facing the back to take a pic. Thankfully, in five minutes the first people filed in...and soon the cinema was...erm...quarter full. Felt foolish for booking the tickets...sedih tol crowd turnout. Ni ker yang orang kata first day RM400,000 plus. Haiyo... Wasn't so glad for the presence of people in the hall in just a short while later sebab belah kanan aku, satu group rempit yang BUSUK (literally - I think the last time meka shower was last August) yang sempat gayut kat phone at the start of the movie (dahler masuk lambat dan kecoh lak tuh) while on my left was this couple yang pot pet jer keja sepanjang movie, while bringing in a baby (thankfully quiet) and a four ke five year old child (yang bising sikit, but kalah pada molot morai parents dia). Cheapskate buggers...get a babysitter la...and learn to not talk so loudly if you have a yakking disorder. So was the movie any good? Boleh lah....nothing great, honestly.... but yet at the same time, it wasn't all that bad, though it did reek of some amount of corniness (no pun intended with regards to the final scene with the jagung) Scary bits to look out for - Intro masa benda tuh muncul. Then masa it flew beside tingkap Pierre (atau nama watak dia Darma - busuk!). All of us have heard of stries like that - my uncle sendiri penah kena kat Pandamaran in the 80s, demam seminggu ok...dan kena first prize pastuh sebab beli nombor keta dia. Matilah...sempat tuh. Then there was jelmaan ala hantu tinggi time keta Darma breakdown and orang nak tolong. Creepy too was masa opah dia 'nampak' benda tuh and welcome it to the house while Darma dan Mak Lang tercengang jer. And also the weird faceless family kat the lift. Scary!!! And part Darma angkat Opah dia masuk ke bilik tu...shit! Menjerit aku! Nt exactly the most macho thing to do to impress your date, ok! Bad bits was the whole cast punya acting, with Jalaludin Hassan overdose seperti biasa with his Who Wants To Be A Million Hair accent, dan Ladyanna yang nampak cam pementasan Hari Penyampaian Hadiah Sekoalh Rendah Kazmpung Pelir Hitam (don't we all love that statement). Even Pierre pun busuk sikit sebab lisping dia bvious abih, especially one of the opening scenes yang dia wat ala marah and I couldn't understand what he said for most parts. Acting dia pun below par. As for the script, it was silly and senseless with so many holes here and there. Though I have to say it was nice there were details (yang dia sempat explain) such as bab bukak bumbung time exorcism tuh, dan bab jari kaki tuh. Effects and costume was biasa je. Banyak bab spoil sebab bila benda tuh melayan nampak ala ala ada wires suspending the creature terbang cam tak lancar sangkut sangkut sikit. Moka hantu dia pon elok sikit je dari Umie Aida time Puaka Tebing Biru, with the eyes looking like cheap white manila cardboard cut outs. So, worth watching ke? Mmmm...difficult question. It was ok lah...so aku rasa korang kena layan sendiri kot. Yang takut easily mungkin rasa seram. Aku rasa tuk aku it was more shocking than scary. Shocking sebab banyak bab terkejut sebab audio dia yang irritatingly booming time nak takutkan orang tu ngan sound effect. So try it out for size and see how you guys like it, or ask friends yang korang trust and see whether it was any good to them. I wouldn't pay to see it again, that's for sure. You want to see something really scary. Try this out. Hari tu, masa ngan Juan lawat Mimirinie kat Ancasa Hotel, aku terasa nak ke Gents to take a leak. Matilah tengok pic sebelah. See anything strange? No? Take a closer look because there's a damn camera in the loo! Gila ke haper. This is one toilet, I'd wait to use the ONE and ONLY cubicle! Gila ker haper..so voyeuristic ok! So lain kali masuk toilet pepandai ler usha dulu ada cam ke tak...actually make that standard practise as I do walking into an unfamiliar area. Scout for cameras in all shapes and sizes. Urgh!!! You can't even piss in peace nowadays. Eh...ok ler..nak tido. Esok dia nak dating agi...tak confirm sebab dia nak bak parents dia ke hospital siang, so maybe kita jumpa later je. Sempat aku nak settle some stuff first. Nak lelap kejap dulu ek.... More updates coming soon. Oh and by the way, kami bertiga bloggers da bersetuju nak blackout nama orang yang tak patut disebut dalam posting akan datang, sebab tak kuasa peminat dia masuk sini wat taik. Besides... IT doesn't even deserve out webspace and bandwidth, so there!!! In other words, I'm hanging up the NO F*****G PETS ALLOWED sign on this blog. Ta all...
Tamat sudah penungguan. Skang aku akan menjawab apa sebenarnya aku bagik korang tunggu tunggu tuh. Gambar diatas kat atas tuh kalao diperhatikan, aku rasa da citakan segalanya. Tapi sebab aku ada date for midnight punya tayangan of Jangan Pandang Belakang, aku nak rushing ni sebab si 'dia' menunggu. Yes, the picture you see above ialah tiga bloggers hiburan yang highest ranked (bukan angkat bakul sendiri rasanya, tapi stats menceritakan segalanya) iaitu, MrManager, sultanmuzaffar and of course myself, klubbkidd (motif diri sendiri pun nak link katanya...) The report was lodged at 6.40pm di balai Dang Wangi by sultanmuzaffar, berkenaan ugutan yang dia terima kat blognya, dan sekali gus terselit komen makian, hamunan yang berbau perkauman dan menyentuh sensitiviti agama yang melibatkan MrManager dan aku jugak. Case ni under investigation skang, so aku takleh reveal more details. All I can say is, beringat lah sebelum nak posting apa apa komen yang melampau dalam tagboard or MSJbox ataupun dalam ruangan Comments. We have had it. Especially by certain people (sebab tak penah ada kes camni sebelom ni) yang melampau, dan ingat leh pijak orang sesuka hati. You have been warned...and now it's come to this. These threats began earlier this week, and it's been spiralling out of hand with sultanmuzaffar being threatened. Walaopon cara, penampilan dan gaya blog kami semua berlainan, we stand united as bloggers in defending our right to voice our views. We are not laymen who shoot their mouth off, and we know our rights. Pada pihak yang melakukan semua itu, faham sendiri ler. Because starting from today, apa komen yang melampau, will have the IP lgged and immediately forwarded to the investigating officer in charge of the case. Laporan tu adalah the first report, and akan ada rasa susulan kalau rasa ada keperluannya. Sebelom ni orang katakan bloggers yang irresponsible, dan memacam kes bloggers kena saman dan sebagainya. Buat kali pertama, bloggers melawan balik. As far as I know...this is the first time in Malaysia for such a case. And we are doing it to protect ourselves. Sibuk orang menyarankan bloggers dikenakan pelbagai undang undang...how about every single person with Internet access judged in the same manner? Susah kan? Well, that's an entirely different debate....but we practise responsibilitu and we are not anonymous. So should those who visit our blogs.... So, this is our way of saying, we know our rigths, and we can fight back. Apa kena mengena kes ni ngan Akademi Fantasia? Rasanya sapa yang follow any of our blogs leh paham. Kenapa sejak awal minggu ni? Obvious isn't it kenapa makian dan hamunan tu tetiba datang. If you think you're all that, then prepare for the floodgates of hell to open up, cause we're smokin' hot right now. Malas da nak put up ngan kerenah bebudak yang masuk online anonymous dan cakap main lepas. Baling batu sembunyi tangan katanya... Ok ler...da late for my date. Aku balik kang malam ni aku wat review Jangan Pandang Belakang as well as lebih cita pasal aktiviti gi balai siang tadik.
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.
