Ni lak nak sambung entry pasal Monday lak. After I got down for
Genting, of course headed down to Astro for another assignment. Benda
aku nak meroyan ni pasal the beautification and landscaping works yang
tak abih kawasan ni. Da two weeks in a row, kalao ikut jalan Kelab Lumba Kuda tuh mesti jam. Why?
Sebab from the highway exit crawling all the way to the roundabout and
the turn off to the Palace Of The Glden Horses and also towards Taman
Teknologi Malaysia ni dahler sempit, bottle neck punya jalan, da dua
minggu berturut turut, rush hour aku tengok kawasan ni tambah sesak
sebab mangkuk jalan mana ntah mintak meka tanam pokok tepi jalan siang
siang banyak keta ni. Bodoh tol. Kalau sekali takpe. Minggu lepas
da kena sekali. This week was the same shit. Memang tak abih ler kalao
satu dua pokok tanak amik seminggu dua nih. Bangap
Actully
I don't think they were planting anything, but they just loved to
torture peopole b blcking the narrow road... sebab tak nampak pon
sorang pun yang bekerja. Like last week, they were all huddled with
their equipmnt and stuff, muking about, just causing a traffic jam. What a horrible waste of time. Pas abih assignment kat Astro, aku pun gerak ke Cheras ada hal sikit nak settle.
Cadang memula nak balik ke opis, abihkan story, then balik rehat sebab
mata pon da lebam da ni. Still not enough rest, despite getting just a
little more sleep in Genting, it was not enough nak catch up with the
amount I needed to make up for the lack of throughout the whole week
before. Tapi petang lak ada ne more assingment, kali ni kat Habib Jewels kat Ampang. Hah...which leads me to an interesting trivia question. |Teka milik artis mana kah kaki artis ni? Kalau biasanya dia dikenali ngan kasut tumit tinggi je!
Kalau
anda ikutkan clue yang diberikan, dan anda nyatakan...Fazura...anda
memang betul. Matilah aku kena carut ngan Fazura kang. Heh..habih
trademark kasut tinggi. Ampun Fazura. Tamau kena tampo ngan selipar jepun ko lak.
Si Fazura ni actually hadir sekali ngan si Fahrin ke Habib dan lepak
sama ngan kami. They were the other two celebs yang ada, so apa lagi? Sesi carutan yang amat ler. Sekali sekala jumpa, anyam ler ketupat. SI Farihad lak yang paling rajin pot pet ngan Fazura ler. Fahrin lak dok kena usik pasal nasi ayam (padan moka, da tau Habib ni dekat je cawangan kedai tuh kan). Heh...everyone was fair game. Mawi yang ada sekali pening je nak layan kami kecoh, tapi last last join.
It was actually a simple event sebab sebenarnya Habib tengah ada
clearance sale ke sale haper, sampai 70%.Kira Mawi wat appearance dan
mini show ler sambil si Fahrin dan Fazura ni pon datang mai lambai
lambai. Most of the items tak menangkap minat aku sebab honestly,
Habib punya jewellery nih, tua sangat designs dia. Very the sesuai tuk
makcik makcik le though there were ne or tw baubles yang caught my eye. Aku hanya mampu tarik nafas and walk away sebelom trgoda nak berbelanja. Siot je...time ada duit, ada sale ni...seksa tol. But managed to stand my ground and walk out of the shop without spending anthing (unbelieveable kan?) Feels good! I may just be a reformed shopaholic! NOT!
Sempat ler talk to Mawi pasal Shahrill ni sebab Mawi pun minat magic
nak berguru kan? Si Shahrill lak pon minat Mawi so ok ler dia dapat
ajar Mawi. Bukan senang nak jumpa capable magician nak ajar woo!!!
We'll see where that goes dan apa apa kang, keep posted for
developments. Had a bite to eat upstairs, we all headed down again.
Cramped the elevator between the few of us (teringat kentut Ebi dan
bayangkan kalao aku lepas bom apa jadik)
Lepak
kejap lagi, walaupun resisting temptation tapi usha gak ler beberapa
items on sale ngan si Farihad dan Fazura. Si Fahrin dok tepi je sebab
dia tak larat shopaholics nak brwsing ni (sebenarnya nak keja masuk
jumpa seseorang kan, heh!) Erm...kenapa ramai sangat kawan nama start F
ni. Decided to leave the shop...but not before si Botak tunjuk
hobby dia yang dulu number one (selain mancing - matilah aku kena carut
kang!) sebelom digantikan ngan magic, which is photography!
What's
with the hat la??? Ngada tol botak ni. Tak lama agik kamera tuh kompol
habuk ler bila asik dok main magic je. Masa mini show kat Habib pun dia
selit gak aksi dia. Headed back home, emailed stories and felt
comatose sebenarnya tapi tahan sebab tamau tidur awal sangat. Harus ler
pagi pagi buta bangun kang kalao sleep to early....besides da letih
sangat ni yang susah nak tidur. So what did I do? Nak tidur ni amik ler ubat yang sesuai. Yes I watched Diarrhea laporn kedua minggu kelapan! Alamak....da dapat reward tuh let it be a proper reward ler. Ni main paintball lak. Sheesh! Alamak...si chef Adabi tuh ada.
And susah susah nak kuar nak reward jumpa lak tenaga pengajar kat sana.
I know if I were the kids I know who I would have shot. By the way korang perasan tak perlu ke bunting dan poster Adabi kat background tuh. Ada je... Ganas gak si Mila ni. I wouldn't having her on my team kalao camni.
Abang Adnan kuar dulu kan? (kena hentam ngan tiga pelajar) Then Khairul
Najmi yang pepandai tembak cameraman (go Dafi go Ebi). Power gak si
Heliza...nampaknya the girls rocked!!!! Si Roslan pon kena tembak. Er
si Dr Love ni kenapa? Masuk sesi motivasi lak, rasa ngarut je nak
discuss pasal sapa sanggup nak ganti tempat yang tersingkir.
Hish...siap projection and all punya presentation. Erm...ni cam
motivational seminar tuk corporate strategy je. Come on! These
kids are not deep enough to understand all this. Forget the metaphors
and get more literal with these kids on more direct relevancy. Alamak...da masuk da mamat haidresser ni nak promo Loreal. Nampaknya si Dafi seronok je main ngan rambut Candy ni ek. Moka Shawal kena ngan mamat hairdresser ni cam tension abih. Heh...who wouldn't be?
Rambut Aswad leh wat apa apa ke? Cuba bukak headband tuh nak top depan
yang membotak first of all. So in the end, rambut Ebi jer ler jadik
mangsa. Lepas geam nampaknya si Aswad ni sampai si Ebi ni terbakar lak
telinga. Kelakar ler Aznil umum masaalah teknikal AF Xtra kat broadband ni tapi tetap mntak orang langgan. Perah jangantak perah.
Ebi at least kena sikit sikit je, si Heliza melecur lak tangan ek nak
wat rambut Mila. Elok tuh....masuk Akademi, last last cedera
sebab wat benda tak perlu. Si Dr Love lak syok sendiri, dan
end up nak style kan si Aswad, yang nampaknya cam furball by the end of
it. hah...nampak terus balding pattern pala dia. Nampaknya
inferiority complex si Aswad pasal rambut nih. You should... Last last tak pakai headband ni...rambut semua sapu ke depan lak. Awmnigawd!!! Perlu ke nak hairstylist ni with the silly games. Aswad tanya rambut ok? Aku tanya balik ni...rambut apa? Takpe la...janji tak nampak headband kepam dia lagik tuh. Ebi nampak smart tapi that's given da. Please ler potong rambut ddia.
Dafi dan Candy memasing rambut sama je...erm...Mila punya rambut lak
cam kejung. Si Shawal pun needs a proper cut and not the nerdy lok yang
stakat nak pakai wax dan spray. Eh eh..si Roslan ada masa evaluation. FINALLY! Stuju pasal Heliza ni gedil masih tak amik pot. Si Shawal dipuji showmanship, which I agree too.
Aswad di puji hanya sebab better than expected? But then again. apa
sangat expectations kat dia nih? Hish...maintain a uniform standard
la...not apply differently to different students. Ebi was mostly
comments pasal posture which affected his vice. Bab Dafi kata singing
dia improve (gelak sat). Bab attitude dia aku stuju la at least dia leh
accept challenges. That much I have to give credit to him. Si Candy kena tegur pasal voice control. Stuju ngan Syafi sangat because she doesn't know what to do with her powerful voice. Mila perasan kelemahan dia senfiri which is a good sign, walaopon mistakes dia not too noticeable. And that was it...ngantuk terus aku....
PS
- Malam ni aku update pasal Diarrhea semalam dan malam ni. Also nak
komen sikit pasal Astr yang ngok sibuk prkatakan nak AFMASUK, yang
kecoh dari semalam. Padahal sebelom ni tak abih2 stiap hari setiap
minggu laungkan pergi tak kembali. Biasa la... layan lagu tema
Apprentice jer...money money moneyyyyy...MONEY!!!!!!
Ni
sambung entry hutang. Balik je dari AIM on Saturday night, malas tunggu
bab repeat repeat, so headed to torrents to check out how was the
concert malam tuh.. Yerlah...macam macam report dapat asal konsert, but
au nak gak check it out for myself. And safe to say pas tengok, Astro memang hampeh. Full of contradictions. Amik pengetua konon tegas takleh bagi nangis, tapi bagik trigger cam babeng...
Konon nak cari bakat, amik pengkritik emo marah takleh hargai bakat,
tapi wat lawak bodoh tol tuk naikkan undian orang based on sympathy.
Stupid...stupid...stupid...malas carut tak henti...because I won't stop
kala camni. Hurmphh...amik ko repeat performance Mas dari musim kedua
ler.
Semua pelajar - Lagu Bonus - Joget Pahang (Siti Nurhaliza)/Joget Si Pinang Muda (Noraniza Idris)
For some reason, aku rasa cam this was so uninspired. Sebab ni kali
pertama aku nonton dan nilai konsert mingguan melalui kaca TV (laptop
actually), so my judgement lain sikit kot sebab judge the music as
heard on TV and n at the venue yang memang lain. But caught some
people looked as bored as I was throughout the performance. The only
person yang caught my eye throughout the song was si Candy je. Lain dari tuh, nothing much. Boring, nothing else managed to capture my attention dan just a waste of time.
Bab nak tarik audience tuh, erm...was just cheap attempt ler. Simply
trying to jazz up the event so hard that it was just...oh well. Wonder how many changed the channel at this point? Erm...was I the only one who felt that Aznil kept screaming throughout? Why can't he use normal speech levels?
Oh by the way, the whole se-up onstage was a tad over, dan nampak cam
kedai pengantin kat Pandan Indah lak. Erm...a little tacky and without
reason for them to overdo it. Erm....kenapa lak Salih Yaacob jadik judge? Layak ke? Oh well... The second bonus song at the end of the show was as boringly over delivered as the first. So there...
Heliza - Rindu Merindu ( Fauziah Idris) Cantik baju dia (ala Jee nih) tapi kenapa lak dia dressed up cam orang tua. She just looked old, like someone's mother.
Bab berbalas pantun...on TV it didn't work ler lawak Aznil sebab mata
dia asik dashing to the cue cards, which didn't make it appear
impromptu. On her intro, Heliza started way too shaky, and her vibrato had the same effect as fingernails on the blackboard. I have a feeling she just isn't letting go her voice, and she more often than not ends up sounding constipated.
Masuk chorus baru she sounded ok, but still she ends up simply
overdoing it. Why can't anyone tell her to quit it and just sing
straight and not moderate her voice so much that apa yang kuar ni cam
just a trickle of her actual suara. Week seven and still no originality. Camna ni...aduh... PS - patutler muzik sedap..pemuzik profesional rupanya, bukan polyphonic ringtone.
Permulaan yang baik? Jee dengar ke tak nih? Alamak!!!! Tu kakak Candy
posing tuk camera lagik!!! Damn...pening...lagik pening bab Salih ni
komen, sebab dia ni irrelavant tol. Didn't knw they wanted a comedian
to punctuate the critics.
Shawal - Joget Kaki Lima (Dahlan Zainuddin)
Balasan pantun dari Shawal yang bertanya mana lebih sesuai antara Erra
Fazira dan Fasha Sandha memang was just rude, too rude to be on TV. Ada ke Aznil jawab camni (bagi sapa yang miss)
Aishwarya Rai dan Abishek Bachan, pasangan sejoli teruna dara Susah sangat ke nak buat pilihan Dah tatau yang mana dara tahan dan juga mana yang tiada dara?
Erm....just silly and too coarse for a prigramme watched by kids. Kalau
sebut janda takper ler lagik kan...because the term takde dara ni cam
kasa sangat. Comedy at the expense of being insulting. On
Shawal's performance, aku seksa tengok dia punya low notes dia ni as he
had to dip really low to come up with barely audible notes. Kenapa lah
bebudak ni sampai tahap ni. Most of them seem to have the same problem.
He didn't do bad enough to justify kedudukan dia yang second last by
the end of the concert. Arghh!!! Tu si kakak Candy senyum kerang busuk
pose ayu! Pening! Arghh!!! Senyum pose tuk camera ok! No! No! No!
Mental block...
Aswad - Penyu Menangis (Sudirman) Amboi! Cantiknya lip gloss Aswad yang pink! Sesuai ngan bedak tempek empat inci mka dia sampai kelabu.
Ada peminat Aswad kata aku bias kat dia nih bab nak evaluate dia, tapi
seriously he has some major problems kalau tak nyanyi rock kapak. Can't
see him doing anything else. He was flat and off key in some parts...not too bad, but still noticeable.
Stage performance dia buruk siot...tak abih abih tangan dia pegang
perot, kalao tak geleng pala sana sini, while he generally stayed
rooted at one spot thrughout the show. Bab last....it was
just...ewwww... Ogy has to seriously got to be kidding bila kata dia
leh diterima sebab vocal dia. And kali kedua dia sebut
centrepoint...nak sangat Centrepoint, kat Kota Kinabalu ada
tuh...tengah bandar, tempat lepak ramai bebudak. First time takde pam jamban bagi performance Aswad...
Ebi - Berdendang Dalam Tangisan (Jamal Abdillah)
It was weird to see him dressed up as so, and yet try and execute step
silat. I thought the whole performance was nice, but not fantastic. The
song just wasn't him. Tapi geram tol...pengkritik semua cam bias
just because he's at the top. Jee kata he can do better, have we
forgotten to mention him in comparison with the others? Hattan kata dia masuk je sumbang....lupa lak bab orang lain sumbang nak sebut ek, siap pujian melambung.
Ogy nak marah pasal silat...nak kata dia counting...aku leh maapkan.
But she's whacked sebab nak kata step moden, dia pakai tuh apa?
Salahkan tenaga pengajar le. You have lost your magic kata Ogy.
Meka beriya je magic magic...yang konon ada magic yang takde magic ngan
penonton. They've forgotten this shw is for the fans, not the critics
and their personal opinion doesn't matter, but their professional
evaluation does. Why the bloody hell si Salih nih...lawak hanj sangat tetiba...tak penting tol ada pengkritik camni.
Dafi - Joget Angan Tak Sudah (Jay Jay)
Ok this was just weak. He got lost somewhere between the backing vocals
and the music. And he was flatter than an anorexic stick insect and
more off key than expected. Konon ada member bagitau he did good ler apa ler...but aku dengar horror. Stage performance dia? Amateurish at best. Awmigawd...Jee kata dia improve! Ogy bagik lampu biru! Yang si Aznil nak mintak tuk lampu biru tuh kenapa? Ngan Jee dan Salih Yaacob. Yang lain tak lak merayu mintak lampu biru...
God...can they stop with the stupid blue lights already. Nak orang
jadik panduan konon padahal bunyi bias manjang pengkritik. Pastuh lak
nak wat apa? Apa gunanya? Ke nak menidakkan pilihan pengundi?
Candy - Tari Silat Melayu (Aishah)
Dari buka mulut, aku terpaksa nak katakan she was easily the best for
the night. Tapi takde ler aku nak tekan lampu biru terus kalau yer pun
aku ada peluang nak tekan lampu biru tuh seawal tuh. Nilai puas puas
dulu kan? Merasalah emo... Candy's only weakness is that she has a
big voice tapi sometimes it overwhelms her sebab she tries to do
something unnecessary because she feels her ability justifies the need
for that. Again, she should keep it to the necessary until she really
is sure what she can do with it. At some points dia cam nak terbabas sebab carried away, but she did execute enough control to make sure that didn't happen. Someone please do NOT invite si Salih Yaakob lagik with his stupid jokes. Did he call her Shandy? So not funny.
Mila - Dondang Dendang (Noraniza Idris)
She was fabulous, tapi kalao banding Candy, aku letak dia sebaris sje
ebab aku da awal awal kata this is her forte, so memang no hal ler nak
deliver. Unsurprisingly she was excellent in her delivery, cuma sikit sangat ler cacat cela yang hardly noticeable. Malas komen lebih...the two girls rocked ler.
Jap...sebelom proceed....heh...Aznil...sebut Diarrhea ek? Bangga ok
sebab dipopularkan kat sini ok, terima kasih pada Diarrhea Harian yang
kami terpaksa lalui tiap Isnin ke Jumaat. Mak aih!! Pemenang pakaian laki nih..erm...cam Ginger lak hidung.Feel baju J.Lo ke transparent nih Heh! Pakaian tercantik bagik pompuan....erm...no komen (sri akak)
Anyhoo...tak paham tol ler at the end of it all...apa tujuan nak wat
kejutan last tuh. Nak sangat kot si Aznil menyanyi, sebab almost every
week, ada je dia nak nyanyi dari start of the season. Musim kelima ni
semakin dia menjadi. Dari start nak nitis airmata when they brought
on all the parents, tapi the moment pas Mila, dan Dafi da ada parents
meka kunjung, camera da fokus kat si Aswad, da oleh tangkap apa motif
meka wat segment ni. By the time the rest of the parents came out
for Heliza, Ebi, Shawal and Candy, it was obvious apa Astro nak
buat. Stupid, pathetic and lame attempt at getting a few tears
and more votes. Sama cam kes Mas masa musim kedua. Ngarut kata nak kongsi sayang and all, it was just stupid!!!!
How dare they play with such sentiments! This was lowest of the low and
totally unnecessary! Bukan je kejam bagi Aswad....tapi juga pada
keluarga Aswad, which undeniably they could have brought his
relatives. So apart from a syok sendiri segment, it became this
well crafted ploy nak meraih undi bagi Aswad or in other words lebih
untung tuk Astro. By the end of the concert...ada yang nak dok
jeling tak puas hati konon peminat tak undi bakat, padahal orang yang
upah ko dodok kerusi tuh, yang nak meraih undi camtuh. Kalao cakap lebih sangat, tak puas ati sangat, lawan ler balik against gimmicks like this ler. Stakat pose muka takyah. "Semua pelajar yang tersingkir akan membawa diri di luar sana...itulah janji kami...tidak akan balik...pegi tak kembali..." Blah blah blah...
Oh and the whole kentut thing they showed ngan clips Aswad, Ebi,
Dafi dan Shawal farting in the Akademi was so...hurmphh.... nampak
sangat takde idea that flatulence becomes prime time fare. Apapon...kentut Ebi nampaknya paling kuat dan paling kaw skali.
Heh...silly la...nampaknya the whole show went down the drain early on,
but with this konsert yang Astro sink to new depths of yuckiness, it''s
just flushed down the toilet da. Baik aku sambung nonton my latest downloads of Pussycat Dolls Presents : The Search For The Next Doll. Tapi kena gak layan Diarrhea hari pertama minggu kelapan. Nak tengok sapa dapat lagu apa kan.
Aznil nak mintak maap lak? Niat tak penting. On TV kena ingat sikit.
Not the first time something like this has happened and you'd think
they would have learned their lesson by watching what they say. Bukan
benda tuh impromptu...da siap rehearsal. Ingat ler sikit. The 'exclusive' scenes or latihan ala koir and with the musicians was nothing great, tak paham kenapa meka kata eksklusif.
Apapun, kalau tuan pengetua tak wat minus one minggu ni, kenapa masih
the whole week tak nampak muka dia sangat kat Akademi. Pelik tul musim
ni. Only thing worth noting was that si EBi ketika practise, he didn't sound as lazy as he did in the eventual performance.
Adengan meka bersiap tuk konsert ak lak aku tergelak sebab tunjuk semua
bermake-up, timbul lak persoalan, si Aswad kena make up ni perlu ke kat
dahi sedangkan erm...paham ler. Huh...alasan nak bagik Aswad lebih
bersemangat konon, nak play that stupid dumbass attempt nak perah
airmata. If nothing else, I think it was more of a distraction than
anything elese to play with the student's emotions rather than motivate them.
Moving on with the finger and hand painting session, erm..kelakar lak
the kids coming up with laughable 'abstract' paintings and trying to
explain them. Macam macam. Anyway, ni lagu lagu tugasan tuk konsert minggu kelapan
Lagu bonus senua pelajar - Phantom Of The Opera (Phantom Of The Opera OST) Lagu bonus pelajar lelaki - Jangan Cepat Marah (Aznil Nawawi) Lagu bonus pelajar perempuan - Wajah Rahsia Hati (Fauziah Ahmad Daud) Mila - Aku Takkan Bersuara (Nike Ardilla) Candy - Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps (Lila Downs) Dafi - It's Gonna Be Me (N'Sync) Shawal - Kaulah Segalanya (Hazrul Nizam) Ebi - Kisah Kau Dan Aku (Alleycats) Heliza - Kesal (Ella) Aswad - Korban Cinta (Aris Ariwatan)
Lagu bonus this time will be great sebab lagu tema for Phantom Of The Opera. Just hope they don't destroy it.
Lagu bonus pelajar lelaki no komen ler, while yang perempuan nya yang
da leh agak sebab lagu Hattan dan Jee kan da ada so far, so add one
more ler...nak lengkapkan former hits pengkritik. Mila, Candy serta Eliza have very different songs yang memang besh.
Dafi dijadikan boyband skali lagi, while Shawal nampaknya da kena push
ke ballads. Ebi pun ok choice of song dia while si Aswad dapat
stereotyped tune. We'll see just have to see lor how they fare. Oh
by the way, didn't say kan Sunday aku wat per. Well, pas KO n Sturday
balik about 5am or so, decided in the morning to head fr an extra
assignment. Siang tu ada event Big Walk Malay Mail kat Padang Merbok. By noon, da gerak ke Genting Highlands tuh assingment bonus gituh to watch Olivia Newton John in concert. Awesome!!! Mula mula malas sebab memang keletihan ler pas tak cukup tidur (make that no sleep at all) after the night before. More than 24 hours of no sleep is hardly funny, tapi tidur jer ler sejam or so dalam perjalanan ke Genting. Naik je pala da berdenyut nak pecah. Umur skang, tak cukup tidur horror sikit. Popped by Starbucks, and got my first meal of the day. Lahap sikit pastuh slept for about an hour or two. Went down for dinner and then to the Arena of Stars to meet the rest of the guys yang hadir sekali untuk konsert tuh.
All I can say is...AMAZING!!!! Walapon rasa pala nak pecah, telan dua
biji Uphamol pun pala throbbing all over, still by the time the concert
started, lupa da segalanya. For those yang late twenties onwards memang akan minat ler Olivia.
I mean, of course there's the whole Grease soundtrack cam Hopelessly
Devoted To You (one of my fave songs of all time), Summer NIghts, We Go
Together and Youre The One That I Want. Lom agik her own retro hits like Xanadu. She even did this new arrangement of Physical.
Tapi dalam bebanyak lagu hit dia, aku paling nak nitis airmata masa dia nyanyi I Honestly Love You. Arghhh!!! I remember zaman sekolah dulu siot layan lagu ni....memang a trip down memory lane.
Malas nak amik pics sebab memang not in the mood, plus pikirkan blog
entry banyak sangat nak update, perlu ke nak add on agik.
Heh...so srry guys...no pic... made a few audio recordings though and layan on the way back from Genting the next day. And that was pretty much it. Not that interesting for some, but awesone for me.
Hutang entry memang da lama kan? Sori ler...bukan apa. Sibuk teramat.
Read ler this entry sampai habis kalao tak caya, Seksa ok nak update
entry ni sebab banyak sangat, so I'll just kind of gloss over what
happened since Saturday. Of course the whole day didn't go
anywhere, conserve energy tidur seharian sebab malam tuh AIM. So leh
agak ler my routine for the next couple of days. Tunggu si Shahrill
join, sebab dia tengah exam final, so kesian lak....stress study, baik
gi rehatkan minda sikit layan show dari nak dok holed up at home ngan
buku je. Walaupon presentation dia tak abih katanya yang nak deliver pagi buta esoknya.
Heh...suka tau last minute. Best sebab Shahrill tunjuk benda dia pakai
tuk magic dia yang terbaru yang memang susah nak dapat kat sini. Sib
baik da tau trick ko...kalao tak naya je tertipu aku.
Sampai kat PWTC, we headed in just about time and took our seats. Not
too bad...smack right in the centre with one of the best views of the
stage. Yang pentingnya, aku da ada tiga invites, satu bagik Ted, dua
lagik terbazir camtuh jer. The first thing aku spotted of interest was this...on the left. Itu dia rambut Reshmonu sempena Visit Malaysia Year yang diinspirasikan oleh bunga manggar! Absolutely hilarious! But props to you Resh for the balls to appear different. And great show too. Speaking of show, kali ni AIM cam takde ummphhh!!! lak for some reason. I mean, timing ok..well paced, shows weren't as horrible as I thought. Still.. entahlah. Tak semegah yang aku harapkan. The one show wrth loking frward to was Anuar Zain for sure. Kalao dak pengkritik kat Akademi Fantasia kata an average presentation is a perfect 10, amacam Anuar lak?
Aku rasa kalao camni...si Anuar is 100 over 10 ler sebab it was simply
beautiful. Walaupon there was something dodgy going on with the music
because the levels were kind of screwed with the orchestra occasionally
drowning out his vocals. Still it was one of the magical moments which was powerful enough to capture the audience.
Apart from Anuar's show, there was few worth mentioning. Mawi dan Ramli
Sarip was awesome too.... the closing was cliched, ngan Double Trouble
taking the stage. Kira power gak ler tapi bosan ler sebab da standard
sangat da meka nak rock reunions ni can shake people up. Did
I forget the set of divas? Well...first of all, lagu Bermula Di Sini
was the wrong choice of song to share between four big vocals. Hasilnya? Jac, yang memang vocal meletop grabbed the spotlight without even being trying.
Siti and Aishah were reduced to being backing vocals, while I found
Noryn just irritating...because she was screeching all over the place
trying to outdo Jac but failing miserably. Kira ok jer ler. Better
yet actually was the medley Artis Baru Terbaik. Forget Izwan Pilus,
Fazli Zainal dan eve nt he overrated Sean Ghazi. Aku bangga ngan
Bob sebab he was easily the best vocals among the five nominated names.
Farhan too did quite well, enough to stand by Bob. Sapa kata reality TV can't produce talents, though this isa thing of the past judging by musim kelima.
Bab bekas pelajar ni, of course Mawi pun rocked the stage. Sayang
je Zahid tak dapat perform...stakat present. Takpe...last year
dah...next year kang album baru kuar kang..we see you again onstage ek.
Show M. Nasir? Opening yang tak kena. It was nice and all, but somehow
it seemed kind of weird to see him wear pink and bounce along ngan
those dancers yang look like they were part of a third rate drag
ensemble. Ok ler...tapi aku rasa kalao in terms of explosiveness, patutnya meka letak je Mawi dan Ramli Sarip sebab lebih hebat... Daripada segi lain...erm...it was nice to see them cut short the acceptance speeched supaya tak lari timing slot AIM tahun ni. Kalau tak kan biasa meleret sampai entah brapa lama.
Still, at times it looked rather unprofessional sebab hampir semua
penerima anugerah cam kena cut off in their moment of glory. The
presenters semua bias aje...nothing great, but thank goodness meka kept
to script if nothing else. Takde ler lawak bangang yang membuang masa. The hosts itself?
Syukur ler si Bob Lokman tak bersora banyak sangat and he was kept to a
minimum...kalao tak pening nak layan. Afdlin yang biasanya best gila,
subdued dan seolah takde skrip.
Adibah Noor jer ok. Tu pun boleh lah...sebab dia ni memang naturally
quirky kan. Rasanya kalao tahun depan, Adibah sendiri pun mampu carry
on with the show on her own. Erm...yang asik dok promo Sumo, aku ok jer sebab hopefully it will be one of Afdlin's best films, tapi tak perlu ler sangat.
Banyak agik filem dan album slalu kuar, takkan sebab Afdlin jadik host
nak plug for most of the releases....or any releases for that matter.
No offense Flin....it just wasn't on, tapi da rezeki ko bro. All these
years of holding AIM together, I suppose they do owe it to you. Bab
kemenangan...memang ada kejutan, cam si Ahmadi Hassan menang Best
Nasyid Album (bukan apa, tapi album Qasidah, Berzanji dan Doa Berlagu
is the best nasyid album this year), Siti kalah Best Vocal Performance
In An Album (Female) lepas dominasi menang back to back for eight years
(tapi Jac menang pon ok) ... a few shockers here and there. But
happy gak sebab Siti menang Best Pop album. Aku happy sebab aku masa
dulu review pun aku da kata, it was one of the best albums for the
year, and at least it's proven when she went on to win Album Of The
Year sekaligus.
Satu je award aku nak gelak cam buang masa (selain Best Ethnic Pop
Album sebab ada dua je pencalonan, which is the Best Indonesian Album. IKenapa sembilan dari sepuluh kali artis Indo yang dijemput hadir, mesti menang? Cam plan jer. Ke da dijanji menang kalao meka menghadirkan diri? Who knows? Boleh jer la Samsons ni. No skin ff my back pun meka menang.
Lepas abih je persembahan terakhir aku dan Shahrill rush downstairs to
the post party... sebab malas kang everyone make an exit at once. So
gerak ler dulu. Lagikpon kebulur ni. Kang lambat sampai, makan pon
tak,nak keja interview sana sini pun menyukarkan je. Was among the
first to reach, and just as Shahrill sat down nak makan, aku spotted
Siti masuk. Hah...jarang ok Siti grace post party events. Tak nampak
husband tersayang dia, but takper. Sempat ler talked a bit
(see...told you kan Siti?). This is one of the few times, aku honestly
leh kata she totally deserved the award. Siti pun cam happy semacam.
Mana taknya...the albumis the first product of Siti Nurhaliza
Productions... baby dia lr katakan...so mesti bangga hasil pertama tuh
membuahkan hasil dan diiktiraf. Time ni ler aku leh see everyone closer for what they wore, so leh ler usha sapa pakai baju cantik dan sapa yang azab. Aku
rasa yang paling happening...dan sexy skali fr the night...taklain tak
bukan... Amy Search ler. Kalah ok th rest of the women. Merasalah la ko
Amy dedah sana sini...heh! Kalah Syafinaz pun ok! Erm...rambut rebonding ke? No way Jose. tetap berketak ok. The worst dressed?
Mmm...there were a lot of horrible outfits there. Kat dari Mentor cam
jantan in drag lak ngan overdose extension rambut dan sebagainya. Sarat
sangat...sakit mata tengok dia. But the winner hands down for the most horrific get-up has to be Dina. Too yellow la gurl.... cam Big Bird from Sesame Street pun ada. Let's repeat this little mantra, "less is more!" Got news terkini dari konsrt Akademi Fantasia. Masa tuh dok ngan Bob dan Fitri with Ramli M.S. nearby. The word spread fast... Didn't stay the whole night. Being claustrophobic aku pun ajak Shahrill to have supper elsewhere after I was done with work.
Lost him no less than FOUR times. Rupanya, dia ni asik hilang, sebab
asik dok kena tarik ngan orang. Apa lagik kalao kena tarik. Wat magic show jer ler jawabnya. Heh...sabar jer ler...camtuh ler kalao orang da kenal.
Took a few pictures here and there tapi generally spent the night
gabbing away until si Shahrill was done amusing people with a few
tricks. Among his audience was bebudak security yang terhibur gila ngan
dia. Amik ko. Dalam ganas suka gak magic ek. Sapa kata bebudak
je.... all the way out, ada lak peminat nak dia wat magic dan
sebagainya. Aduh...this is going to take forever. Oh...back to the pictures, kang aku tunjuk sikit lower a bit ek...finish story dulu.
Meanwhile, feast your eyes on these of antara kuarga Akademi Fantasia
yhang hadir (Mawi balik immediately after so tak dapat nak bump into
him.
Moved on to Bukit Bintang for supper. Was joined by Ted, Vernon (yang dok cerita tak abih betapa heat si Dafi kalao ikut laporan meka yang ada dalam deqan - propah je keja), Rudy, Judd and friend as well as Juan and friend. Lepas melantak, kena lagik satu round si Shahrill ni nak wat magic tuk kanak-kanak Ribena ni. Tak cukup satu dua illusions, siap kena explain camna buat (mana leh!)
Tengok si Shahrill ni (curi pic dari Judd). Seronok beriya dapat wat
show, walaopn show pree jer ngan bebudak nih yang dra dia trick after
trick. But he was ever obliging and amazed everyone aku rasa for
ovr an hour. Banyak lak neverending request nak ajar...but of course
the magicians code and all. One of the best things to see live, is
the spoon bend yang dia gosok near the stem of the spon, dan sudu tuh
mula membengkk sendiri. That's something that loks awesome live. Not to mention yang spoon yang or fork yang twisted tuh. That's massively freaky ok.
Tapi yang pentingnya, pas da buat kena sorok lak garpu yang jadik
mangsa tuh, sebab takde magic yang nak betulkan balik bengkang bengkok
garpu tuh. Matila tak pasal pasal kang kena caj lebih sebab rosakkan
utensil orang. Kenapa?
Tak caya ek?
Koramg kalau tune in Fuyoo
Magic every Tuesday, at 10.30pm (tolong promosi program dia) mesti da
penah tengok dia buat.
But seeing it live is totally different. It
works more ler in front of your eyes because you know it really is
happening/ Nak tengok akibat magic si Shahrill ni?
Ni dia... tak pasal pasal ler garpu ni jadik mangsa... heh... kalau
tengok pic Shahrill kat atas tuh, tu the fork befoe it was mangled by
Shahrill's 'telekinetic' powers.
Tu dia...bukan bengkok sikit sikit ok...tu trick biasa, Ni siap cam da kena pulas!
Had a fun night, that was sure, and a great close to the weekened... or
so I thought. Si Rudy ajak aku sekali ngan dia ke assignment dia esok.
I said I'd think about it sebab I didn't really have anything planned
pun. Nanti...next entry aku tulis tuk apa...tired out as all helll. Just enjoy th few more pics I took.
Lum tidur. One helluva night!!! Awesome!!! So happy for s many reasons.
Nanti aku update with lots of pics!!! r as many as aku larat nak
posting.
Yang pentingnya, Siti menang Album of the Year! Yes!!!! Puas!!! Tengok
Siti...kan da kata? Heh...tak rugi review album Transkripsi dulu (and
tak rugi Siti masuk sini dan baca)> You deserve it gurl...hugs (and
lari takut Datuk K nampak). The other big happy event ws no
elimination from Akademi Fantasia. Seven students remain. Didn't miss
anything nampknya. Nanti aku review that as well as AIM ok. Ni tak
tidur kena rush a morning event, and then late noon ke Genting
Highlands. Nanti aku bagitau sebab apa. Full day! And a fuller week! So
nanti je ek....sabar!!!! It'll be worth it!

Managed to finally get some stuff for the Bangsar home.
Sebelom assignment went and picked up some things on my list, and after
assignment, da email story pun another round of shopping to pick up
some more. Hah yang penting nya, second round tuh jejak Ikea for some stuff I had in mind. Lama tak gi sana dah ni ...but since had so little time nak rush jumpa Nikki kat MidValley and help her pick out an outfit for AIM besok, apa lagik?
Sprint sana sini to look for and pick up the stuff I wanted. Cam
Supermarket Sweep lak (ok...so I'm from that generation). Yang
pentingnya puas dan lega with all the stuff I managed to pick up. Later
dropped by home and unpacked it all, and hey...it's a good start!
Still a long way to go nak lagik cantikkan the place lagik, but you got
to start somewhere right? Erm...Ikea people, please take note....the
letter f in furnishing tu da burn out da lighting dia. How ironic
since you guys have a rockin' lighting department (not so rockin' when
I was there earlier sebsb tup sparuh tengah renovate ke haper). Chanced
upon this little fella on the right at the top tuh...cam familiar je
penah tengok scene camni in Diarrhea....not sure. Must have been my
imagination. Anyhoo...other stuff that took up my day, popped by
office Persatuan Akademi Industri Muzik Malaysia sebab nak pick up
another two of my VIP passes for tomorrow. Rupanya the previous
delivery meka hantar kat aku short dua agik, so dropped by to pick them
up tapi semua sibuk rehearsal so meka berkompol kat PWTC.
Pada sapa nak tau apa running order of the show, artis mana kuar bila
as presenter ker performer ke...sila squint like hell and try and make
out the list kat office Akademi nih.
Heh...siap updated tuh. Ada info lebih sikit.
Tapi aku top mata (ceh..padahal nak siap check) sebab nak surprise...
so also for the first time in a long time, aku tak gi rehearsal full
dress malam ni sebab nak enjoy the show esok...or at least try to.
Aduh...bloody city was jammed gila today sebab ujan and all, thus as
usual resulting in an unexplained and very the Misteri Nusantara
crippling of the Kuala Lumpur traffic system. Mengeluh aku nak
head to the event petang tadi for my assignment. Biasa je punya 'do.
Launching album artis baru bernama Richado (budak budak kat Sabah mesti
kenal dia sapa kan because he's one of their local stars there)
Erm...biasa je sora. Ok le...but...honestly...production horror siot.
El cheapo sound quality album dia. Back to the topic. The event
sebenarnya aku dan teman teman media hadir bukan so much because of
Richado ke apa...but sebab tukang host kan event. Tak tau ler
kenapa sampai nak dua emcee, but geng Press focus sorang je yang memang
familiar terlampau familiar. Yerp....kalao korang scrolled down to see
who, korang mesti recognise si Zana yang tarik diri. This is her first
appearance in public sejak erm...kes...you know. Rupanya dia ni
kawan Richado sejak meka kat Akademi TV3 sebelom ni (the other Akademi
where stress didn't get to her). Kesian gak dia...sebab actually paham
paranoia dia ngan all this happening and berat nak talk to anyone.
But memang geram gak sebab orang bagik chance nak bersihkan nama
because she really does have a future as she is a good talker...and it
would be a shame to see her talent go to waste, with or without Akademi
Fantasia...tapi dia cam nak elak seribu. Tak kisah lah..no comment pun jadik ler.
Tapi sampai satu tahap snap gak aku. Yerla...orang tulis apa yang ko
cakap. Kang kalao ko merapu esok kuar ...jangan salahkan lak kata niat
kita da pasang camtuh lak. We report. Hish...panas ati. Sebab masa dia
elak time panas isu ni pun da kena ngan aku sedas .... anyway...
Zana...honestly...wish you all the best. Hope you grow more mature.
Kang kena serang ngan team Melodi naya je (tengok pic atas tuk dua awek
comel lote dari atas dari team Melodi kat event tuh - merasalah korang
lak kena terjah ngan aku!!!...love you babe!) Balik pada Zana... you
have the talent girl...tapi kan...you got to do what comes with the
job. Which is a common mistake with so many new acts yang nak tempah
nama. Most people rasa they want to talk only when THEY want
publicity. Reality is...YOU don't get to choose when you want to
talk... not always. Don't shun publicity and learn to make the worst of misfortunes into something positive. Thanks to my sifu Alam (Diana Ross live on!!! Disco forever!!!), who handed that down to me.
Anyway pada sesapa yang minat Zana...she's already gotten an offer for
deejaying (walaopon dia tamao komen tul ke kat Suria FM)...and aku rasa
it won't be the last we hear odf this talented lass. Ni some latest pics of her.from just now.
On Diarrhea today...heh...dancing rehearsals.Kelas Raimee (bukan Reymee rupanya ejaan nama dia). Plain boring!
Erm...individual choreography rehearsals, I'd hate to say it (and trust
me, I really hate to say it), but if Dafi takde sora flatline sangat,
show dia might be the best in terms of performance value for no other
reason than his song will be the most fun. Raimee however gets my respect today for telling off the kids yang tak respect kelas dia, gi wat benda lain. Salute!
He has a point, and thankfully dia siap tanya apa problem dan cakap,
kalao tak suka apa apa speak out so it can be changed. Hah!!! Bagus!
First time I have respect for mamat nih. You go Raimee...walaopon
choreography ko boring, as a person, you're kinda cool! Tapi... apa la tujuan bebudak ni diminta baring dan visualise camna performance meka and all.... Hurm...
oh that's why. How interesting...sesi try pakai sari dan try and pose
along with it. Erm...this is starting to really look like like a
pre-school rehearsal. Aduh..si Shawal siot je wat lawak. You'd think Aswad yang paling sesuai pakai sari...tapi he looked more like a failed Shaolin monk. But he won sebab most probably based on the authenticity of his look from other aspects (hah...mencarot je keja kan?)
Shawal dan Heliza kena denda pakai sari tied to each other lari
keliling Akademi... cam sial!!! Point being??? Heh...they really too
much time to kill kan? Whoopeee.....they're offering hadiah TV
plasma 42 inci tuk best dressed yang hadir ke konsert. And dua hadiah
tuh...all out nampaknya nak fight ngan clash with AIM kan? Heh...it's
really turning out to be tapak funfair ler da nih. Respect kat Ebi
in the next few scenes which showed him jogging about while singing. I
think Aznil tak paham kot kenapa dia lari menyanyi. Konon as an athlete
ler beriya nak exercise. Hello...tuh nak build stamina ler. It's
actually one of the best ways, and Mila pon wat masa practise Drama
arituh by running setempat. I don't care what anyone says, but
Aswad sounds and even looks constipated siot masa rehearsal. Heh...oh
well..it takes all kinds. Da ada orang nak undi dia rezeki dia ler.
Tapi seronok gak ler tengok tujuh orang ni berlatih bersungguh. Each
and every one of the seven ada ler nampak usaha. Hurm... ada lak si Roslan ni masuk Akademi. Masuk tuk tengok si Mila masak. How dedicated. Most
of the kids performed decently, tapi strangely Roslan senyap je. Tengok
kak Fati, Adnan dan Syafi je banyak komen. He chirped a word or two
here and there je. Salah editing? Ke memang dia tak banyak bersuara
(cam tak caya lak) The potentially best shows will probably come
from Mila, Shawal, Candy dan Ebi...without a doubt. Heliza is still
suspect. Dafi stands a chance if his vocal doesn't go on cruise
control.Names not mentioned? Yawn!!! Ya ampun!!! Apa ni??? Abang MM? Who the... lor... nak cita pasal road safety? And the Toyota? Promo time!!!!!!!
Iklan jangan tak iklan! Hah? Nak cari pemenang yang ada lesen ek?
Heh...learning from the mistakes of the past are we? But perlu ke
segment ni. Hish...this isn't subtle advertising. This is just
senseless. Buang masa je bagik bebudak pamphlet dan cita pasai keta. Nak jual keta...snooze jer sat.
Sesi motivasi memang bagik aku gelak. So revealing. You guys just have
to see it for yourself. Let's have a round of applause please for the
productin team! Oklah next entry nak posted memang panjang lebar sebab here and there on AIM
as well as review konsert Akademi Fantasia (buat kali pertama sejak
empat tahun lalu ni) sebagai penonton kat rumah (repeat seperti biasa
anytime can catch...)
PS - Happy ari ni gak sebab walaopon 'dia' tengah final tak sempat jumpa...SMS tetap!
Had so many errands to run today, tapi took forever to get me through all of them. Patutnya
pop over to get some light fixtures and stuff for the Bangsar home
sebab janji my sis nak pick up salt lamps skali, tapi tak sempat sebab
lewat kedai da tutup. Tapi...apa nak wat kan... da shopaholic! Janji
kalao da jalan...tengok ada benda je..abihlah...that's it! Looks like
I'm going to be spending some money today. Sheesh....should have just
left my wallet at home. Matilah pasni abihkan duit agik...(padahal
dalam hati suka) Jalan punya jalan, leh terpikat ngan dua jackets which totally caught my eye. The
first was this dark blue corduroy top. Aku sarung je, just nice.
Argh...snug fit. Kena beli ni! Comfy gila..walaopon sebenarnya aku
menci ok kalao bab corduroy ni. But this was nice, and also since I
didn't have one in this colour or anything near to this shade...and
dark bluie hues are still in season this time around, so bolehlah. Amik
je. Brand name tak terkenal pon...not too pricey! The second was that caught my eye was this soft, tweed-like eathy brown jacket yang memang cutting cantik gila!!! Suka tol! But..er..Ermenegildo Zegna. Aduh...camna ek. Erm...apa
agik..kalau da kena shopaholic...sambar je la tanpa pikir panjang.
Kalau lama sangat pikir confirm takkan beli punya. Forget the price
tag...bayar jer!! Tapi it wasn't as expensive as the usual retail price
cause biasaler...shop smart kan. Yang pentingnya, aku pakai ala ala ada illusi Fuyoo Magic cam ramping lak pinggang (bersedia kena carut pasnih) So that made my day...korang rasa mana better ek.
Erm...tapi jaket ni saja nak masuk dalam collection je. Bukan tuk pakai ke Anugerah Industri Muzik
kang. Heh...ada ada another one I bought some time ago which I'm going
t wear...which is more of my character, militaristic. Comfy and
loud...yang pentingnya loud. By the way, to Dewi,
that white T-shirt I'm wearing is that lovely (cam Khairul Najmi lak)
Esprit tee you bought for me. Thanks love!!! Fits great, comfy and
nice! Huggies and props to you gurl!!!!!! Layan keja...sampai time
tuk Diarrhea tengok kat opis je. Hari ni start jer Diarrhea da kelas
vocal. Hah...ni besh sikit. Tengok bebudak gerun gak ngan Syafi nih ek.
Sampai tahap membodek katanya. Tapi yang paling ketaq si Aswad ni ler. Masuk je Syafi muka dia berubah jer. So much for the in the face of adversity... Seperti biasa selit ngan adengan makan. Memang tak perlu. Sampai kelas bahasa pun nak adakan kat dining area. "You cannot put your hand on the table." Jadik
two in one lak...kelas bahasa jadik skali ngan etiquette ke? Motif nak
ajar pasal bab fine dining? Teach them jangan kentut merata dah. Nak
ajar meka jangan makan dan memborak perlu ke... they've been doing it
for almost seven weeks now! Setiap kali ada Diarrhea mesti melahap
sambil borak... so ada change ke pasni. "Use hand, easy!" Yes, Aswad...we know how talented you are bab tu.... "Which one you ike?" "How come the Penang people like Masala?" More examples of Khairul Najmi's brilliance!!! I'm stumped by his absolutely amazimng skills as an educator. "Because you don't torch me, teach me," kata Shawal. Yes,
a fine example of seven weeks of Khairul Najmi's handiwork lagik.
Kenapa la meka nak sangat kenenkan Mila dan Dafi ni together? Nak dua
orang ni kuar cepat ke? Isn't that the most potent way of getting
someone eliminated? Keji la Astro ni nak wat jalan cita sampai sanggup
korbankan bebudak ni. Nothing interesting to note... but suka lak
bab si Dafi ngumpat pesen rambut Adnan Abu Hassan. Amik ko...cita
rebondin dan colour semua cita dari musim pertama awal 'kemunculannya'
dalam Akademi Fantasia. Kelas Linda lak, akibat meka tak practise,
ketuk ketampi 50 kali! Kelas Adnan later shortly, meka layan Sound Of
Music. Bagus gak Linda bagik meka layan the movie...tapi meka paham
anything from it ke? What a waste of a classic. On with Chedd's
class, and erm...that's it. Rather boring..(sorry dude...blame the
diting guys for making it look hat way)....time for supper and to hang
my new jackets in the wardrobe. No date tonight sebab dia ada final
exam throughout the week. Rindunya nak menatap wajah dia....
Apapun sebelum aku lupa...hari ni is a special day for all Malaysians!
We have a new king on the throne.Sultan Terengganu Tuanku Mizan Zainal
Abidin, 45, ditabalkan sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong ke-13 and
officially became the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin
along with his queen, Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Nur Zahirah. Daulat Tuanku! Daulat Tuanku! Daulat Tuanku!!!
Jap agik cita pasal bab Diarrhea. Wat skang nak nak ramble sikit.
Bukan leh relax sangat pon, nak shopping for Anugerh Industri Muzik
kang...siapkan tuh nih. Also nak dapatkan some light fixtures and stuff
for the Bangsar apartment. Walaopon skali skala dok sana pon nak bagik
up sikit decor. Baru puas kan... Ari ni produktif gila aku!!!! Heh! Puas dan lega. Four down, one more story to go, then I can relax for the weekend. Apapon...yang pentingnya...layan...sempat watch episode 19 of Heroes! Argh!!!! Best gila ok! The best episode ever aku rasa. Dari start ke abih! Hish...seronok sangat siap wat screen capture ni...yerlah tuh.
The best part of Episode 19 titled 0.7% (jangan risau aku tak bagik
spoilers sangat - hint je) is that action non stop in the sense that
every character has something going on. Of course the question from
two months ago is what happens with the Sylar and Peter Petrelli
confrontation (from Episode 18 - sucks to be you kalao korang ikut
Astro kena tunggu sebulan lebih lagik kot nak tengok). Last seen
was Sylar cutting open Peter's head sambil si Mohinder was held up on
the ceiling, tapi twist dia best sangat. Kalao korang wondering what
happened, aku bagik teka teki to guess what happens next. Peter DIES -
yes...you heard me right (don't believe anything as is). One Hero dies
in this episode but it's not Peter. Amacam tuh? No komen. Kang lebih
lebih lak spoiler. But the showdwn itself walaupun brief, was worth the
wait and agony of curiosity to see how the plot would go.
One
thing I can give away is that Linderman pun ada kuasa. Sial! Best lak
tuh power dia. I thought so!!!! Good twist though and more light
is shed on his character's role which appears to be getting more
significant than the endless mentions from the previous episodes (awal
awal pun da mention dia per)
Claire meets Nathan and family, Matt and Ted team up with Mr Primatech
paper himself while Nikki and Jessica struggle to work things out with
homelife and being this psycho split personality for the sake of Micah.
In other news... fans of Isaac will hate Sylar all the more after this
and probably find something else to watch (did I say to much?).
More
importantly Hiro and mate wrre in the future and saw the effects of the
explosion and work their work to a solution now that Hiro has the sword
tapi they meet a very familiar face. No prizes for guessing. Close your
eyes if you don't want to see who it is in the second picture below. I
mean it. Quite a twist, though not too all surprising.
Now
on to the more boring stuff in Diarrhea as I complete my dwnloads of
episodes 3,4,5 and 6 of PussyCat Dolls Presents : The Search For The
Next Doll. Diarrhea hari ni start besh sebab tunjuk kelas vocal.
Looks like someone in production is bothering to listen when fans say
meka nak layan more of the classes instead of dok kat meja makan kat
dapur ngumpat like a bunch of old maids. Syafi nak cek meka ni
camna bab Menuju Puncak. Yerlah...bab konsert leh cover line, sebab
harap lain nyanyi ko miming jer la. Si Aswad horror nak mampos tahap The Exocism of Emily Rose! Piala sumbang-sih dia leh la menang. Lain jangan ler harap.
Shawal besh, sama ngan Ebi kira ok (in cmparison with others). Yang
lain buruk nak mampus gak ek. Pompuan meka tunjuk Candy je kira ok gak.
Bab kelas time meka nak settle bunga dan lenggok da agak most of them
have massive problems, dari tahap takde bunga ke tahap paling kritikal
which is flat as the runway of KLIA (which is actually bumpy sikit).
Apart from Mila, nampaknya si Candy has improved much, while Heliza
still struggle sikit. Boys struggled quite a bit more, don't know how
they going to perform ujung minggu ni. Cam bebudak si Aswad ni...kena marah sikit kena lak nak cam sial feeling tension.
Askrul ni penipu tol lah kata si Aswad besh, pastuh mintak ignore kata
kata Syafi. Ni ler keja Astro staff ke? Nak contradict tenaga pengajar.
Elok lah...da la sekali sekala je nak kena tegur. Kena tegur lak ada
yang feeling nak wat baik nipu and ask the kids to ignore nasihat. Tak perlu tol Aswad ni anyways for the drama over just a little teguran.
Amik ko..."Awak yang paling lemah dalam sudut intonasi. Tu yang setiap
konsert awak nyanyi sumbang. Masaalahnya awak tak tahu awak nyanyi
sumbang...that is very bad" I lap you Syafi!!!Nak nitis airmata lak si SAswad ni...anak jantan ke ni? ke nak perah undi nih. "Macam tu ke melodi dia? Melodi dia pun tatau. Ni yang aku nak naik meradang ni!" Go go Syafi!!! Terkeluar Incredible Hulk tuh...oops...she's pregnant jer.
Erm...selepas kena hamun sikit je kena manja. Nak order makan malam pun
dapat special menu nak ala carte katanya. Keji. Manjakan lagik ler
budak budak ni. Cut to scene bebudak dalam kelas kak Fati.
Erm...tak senonoh lak main game bebudak laki jadi tembok si Mila kena
tembus. Aiyo!!!!! So much for no physical contact between the boys and
girls! Bab Candy, Mila dan Heliza rolling about ni erm.. throw in some mud and we got a TV show. Hah!!!
Paham lak bebudak ni supaya go ahead walaopon ada yang menghalang, the
point of the exercise, but takde lak kemampuan nak translate that into
their show and apply that survival instinct that kak Fati was trying to
teach them. Let's see how many get it. Syukur ler aku ada VIP
access ke Anugerah Industri Muzik (thanks Jen - s honoured...tak penah
bagik aku ask or beg like some people). Takyah ler nak costume party
nak ke konsert minggu nih seperti diumumkan Aznil. Heh! Alamak...si botak (Jasmi bukan Mawi) bak Mahani Awang. My Lord!
She didn't even do that well masa dia kat dalam Akademi Fantasia
dibawa ke dalam dulu. Perlu ke nak comeback? Pasni rasanysa Jasmi punya
collection masuk majalah Wanita ek? AWMIGAWD!!!! Ajar catwalk dan social etiquette katanya...duduk pun nak ajar. Elok lah...merdu sangat suara Jasmi sepanjang Diari. "Say thanks to her..." Heh!!! After
that "lovely" class as Khairul Najmi would say...these kids melahap
sebab makanan da sampai. Amik ko makan sound effect lebih lebih. So
much for social etiquette....that was a waste of teaching. Or lom
sampai bab table manners? Don't understand kenapa bebudak ni main hopscotch. Er...batu teng teng ek. Lupa lak. Don't understand the significance of it. This show is more complicated than Heroes anyday. Nak layan Heres lagik sekali la...
Finally
dapat tengok vocal class in the Diarrhea, walaopon sikit. Lama rasanya
meka tak tunjuk vocal techniques being taught. Ni antara perbezaan
Akademi Fantasia yang production kekadang tak sedar.
Mana lagi the common layman dapat tengok perjalanan kelas vocal.
Tapi baru nak seronok tunjuk sikit, and then sambung lak adengan tak perlu potong timun ker haper kat dapur. Cait!!!
Masuk balik kelas Syafi, and nampak seksa dia nak ajar bebudak joget
and Irama Malaysia week ni punya assignments. It's going to be a
struggle for most of them alright...those who have harder songs that
is...
Er korang perasan tak masa Candy ngan Syafi tuh, ada yang kena blur?
Heh!!! Amik ko dua hari berturut turut adengan censored ditunjukkan.
Kalao ikotkan tema minggu ni I have a sneaking suspicion Mila ada
advantage ler. She seems to be the most vocally apt to take on the
challenge.
Aku tak paham kenapa la meka sibuk sangat nak tunjuk bebudak kecoh time makan. REZEKI tatau kaa..hish...
Tapi kelakar Mila. Apa yang busuk lak tuh Mila? Nak pecah perut tengok gaya dia tuh.
Here we go again...kelas bahasa Inggeris.
Here are some examples of the brilliance of Khairul Najmi
The first one ni, dia mintak bebudak angkat tangan if they agree or fit into the statement he's making.
"Before you come into the Akademi. those who uses the LRT..."
Er...ok then.
One part he mentions...no not small talk.
"Small talks."
MY GOD!!!!
Dahler mengajar standard darjah tiga. Tokang ajar pon lebih kurang je. Salan
cepumas..Aswad ni abih PMR tak? Camna leh terlepas kalau yer,
penah ke pass paper English ni? Sebab standard English dia cam darjah
lima pon tak tentu. When the fans say people should understand blah
blah blah...I find it hard to believe somone could have made it to 27
without even a decent ability of comprehension and sebutan. Argh!!!
What is our education system coming to???!!!
And I think comprehension is so much more important than just getting them to parrot a few lines, so note THAT, sir.
Kelas Linda nampak sangat ramai kejung. Contoh si Dafi. Ujung jari lentik, tapi stiff like a board everything else.
But not as stiff as Aswad yang aku tak paham kenapa ada yang nak
compare dia ngan Mawi. He ain't no Mawi. Mawi by minggu kelima da leh
nari decently. Ni...langsung take rupa dok Akademi langsung lembab
tahap gaban! Walaopon berminggu dok makan pree goyang punggung je kat dalam tuh.
Ebi cam mabuk, siap wat tarian berbagai bangsa....kelakar tengok dia.
Comic relief at least. Yang menang in the end, dapat beg murahan, si Shawal dan Heliza second.
Aku tak paham, tengok bebudak ni struggling, apa salahnya lak wat
simple punya kejutan bak masuk meka cam Bob dan Haziq yang memang forte
meka tuk tema minggu ni. Hish... Fulus Mania tol la meka ni.
Erm..kelas Reymee...tak perlu la. Heh!!!
Anyway...nak sambung keja sikit. Ada beberapa column and articles to finish so that I'm free by the end of the week.
Tadik ada satu interview je. Ngan si Shahrill. Ala...dak Fuyoo Magic
tuh. Seronok lak bersembang ngan dia. Dia ni fun to talk to. Ni some
pics masa photography session kami where he did the floating card trick
(I know how it's done!!! I know how it's done!!!)
Sebab aku
pun minat magic gak, dan most of dia punya illusions aku tau rahsia so
leh ler openly talk about the art of magic.
Wat peminat Akademi Fantasia yang da layan episod mana Shahrill masuk
Diarrhea, ko mesti perasan kan the kids having fun with him. And you
might have noticed dia bagi baju kat Shawal sebab dia kata Shawal
'pegang rahsia dia' or something like that. Apparently Shawal ni pon
tau sikit sikit bab magic ek kerana belajar dari kawan. Tu yang
Shahrill bagitau...
Si Noni pon apparently leh...sapa layan Trek Akademi Fantasia would have seen that.
Aanyway...Shahrill showed me a little of his skill, and he is extremely
skillful with the sleight of hand. Si Farihad terpegun...aku senyum je.
Orang kata kala da tau rahsianya, tak hebat da...tak menarik da tengok
such tricks. Tapi aku admire kalao orang tuh ada skill to pull it off
with style and aku salute gak ler si Shahrill ni sebab dia kira ok gak
lajus tangan dia;.
Dia banyak terkejut bila aku discuss a few tricks kat show dia, cam bab
dia main benang tu benam dalam kulit, Coke can yang kosong dan hancur
leh kembang balik dan berisi....the shoelace trick yang akan
ditayangkan dan ada dalam montage.
He was surprised especially sebab tricks tu aku da tau rahsia padahal
kira baru gak ler illusions tuh. Heh...camna?...tak caya?
Tunggu aku wat
video sendiri jer la ek nanti buktikan aku pun leh wat magic.
Alamak...teringat siri 60 Saat Bersama aku janji nak buat...aduh...been
THAT busy. Soon ek...
Before I get to posting about Diarrhea or anything else, I have to say this. YEAY!!!!
Heroes is back!!!! The States da tayang episode 19 after tw months of
waiting, and now finally we get to see what happens to Peter Petrellia
and whether Sylar kicks his rear or not. Alamak...lupa bagik spoiler
alert. Sapa yang ikut kat Astro...sorry ek. Tunggu ler lama sikit agik to catch up, despite the series da kali kedua lengthy break. Which
now brings me a total of three series I'm following, which includes
America's Next Top Model cycle 8 (Astro is only showing cycle 7 - da
masuk top five this week) and Pussycat Dolls : The Search For The Next
Doll (pencarian anggota baru - tinggal dua episod lagi). Darn....penoh torrents list aku nih.
Apart
from these three shows aku follow religiously, also have seasns 1 and 2
of In Living Color (remember that?), Secrets of the Street Magicians
Revealed and one r two more reto movies in the list. And streamyx?
Crapping out big time. Line kekadang ok kekadang cam sial. Yang besh
nya haul my ass to Uncle Don in Hartamas, pakai dia nya wifi yang baru
sebab arituh download sana cecah 130kbps! Kalao kat rumah highest
is 40+kbps. Tu pun teramat jarang. Biasa kala quarter that speed poun boleh bersyukur. Moving
on, semalam as usual, manic Monday. Siang gi press conference ngan
Rizal. Sampai on time, pas jemput si Juan, and just lounged about
sampai majriti tanya soalan yang Dekna related. Tak minat nak tulis
cita berkaitan love affairs ni and all, so lepak je ler tunggu meka
siap. Oh
by the way, mai kita berkenal salah satu wartawan yang korang mungkin
familair nama. To the left...to the left is Farihad dari Berita Harian.
Hah! Gigih interview. Dia ni kalau masuk Akademi Fantasia, tagline dia
'Pukul habis!!!". Sapa leh jawab kenapa dapat hadiah (ampun Farihad!!!!) But today's sidang akhbar ni lain sikit. Atas usaha sultanmuzaffar
and invitation dia sebagai tuan rumah, I had ajak 'freekey' (tu
nickname dia), seorang forummer kat CARI untuk peluang jumpa Rizal.
Sebenarnya dalam forum, walaopon kena hentam memacam, si freekey ni
slalu cool je in defending Rizal. Kira
number ne yang memang fanatic dan taksub, but at the same time, takder
ler over-emo or melatah. Jarang ok dapat peminat fanatik Akademi
Fantasia yang leh turn the other cheelk. Definitely a peminat contoh! Apapon
kala korang tanya aku kenapa pic tuh aku takleh tunjuk muka, tu atas
request tuan punya badan yang memang pemalu gila dan segan nak pic dia
kuar kat sini ke mana mana. Tapi ok ler tuh lama gak dia lepak ngan Rizal ni. Heh...janji, fan club Rizal pon ok ler pasni. Da kickstart. How
was Rizal? A bit hyperactive...a little too much sugar in the
bloodstream kind of reaction la, perky abih...but ok ler. Tak amik hati
pon kata takleh nyanyi... kira semangat juan menentang carutan hebat
gak dia ni. Mintak mintak ler banyak tawaran dia berlakon lepas
ni because that's where his talent lies. Ke kalao tak hosting program ke apa ler... Hah...ni satu agik pic nak share. Satndard
la, ramai orang yang terlibat dalam a production di sebalik tabir kan.
But I think these are the most underappreciated folks when it comes to
Akademi Fantasia. The beautiful PR people from Astro!!! Sampai dak
Rizal dok lepak tengah layan kami semua borak time kat tepi taman kat
Astro pun, meka ni ikut sekali duk patient tunggu. Kira the first to
arrive, last to leave. Love you guys ler....nak nama mention lebih
lebih lak kang orang kata. You know you guys are awesome and among the
best...
Siap posing ok dok dekat ngan Rizal, si Erlina ni (did I spell your name right, dear?) Apapun
nak gak mention nama ko sebab walaopon ko about a month je together
ngan the Astro gang, you're one of the fastest in the business to catch
up. That I have to says! Props to you girl!!! Sedihnya, dia ni da leaving sebab da rezekim ada lain yang melamar (keja ek...not prposal lain...she's married, guys!) Abih
je event, rush to Karyawan. Ada event for the weekened lak. Kat
sidang akhbar tuh jumpa family members in Sahri, Amylea, Farha, Fatin
dan Salima. So interview ler Salima pasal isu tudung dan al-kisahnya
dia tak pakai, pakai wig ketika pementasan kat Shah Alam last week yang
dok jadik isu. Lupa lak dalam kesibukan nak amik pics meka...but no need pun lah kan. Nanti aku usahakan. Gegas balik office, abihkan keja, then temankan geng di ketuai oleh abang 'pukul habis!' So caught today's rather boring edition of Diarrhea. Somebody explain kat aku kenapa la si Aswad pakai apron? Baru abih tebar roti canai ke? The
session with Dr Love was as juvenila as it gets and was as relevant to
performing arts or motivation as a freakish 4 year-old playtime
involving full grown adults. Tak sesuai tol ngan konsep bebudak nak
belajar performing arts. Tau pun si Aznl kata cam kindergarten. Promo
time!!! Equal Sports Fitness Centre on reflexology tuh perlu ke.
Merasalah dapat ilangkan kekejungan ketika menari Menuju Puncak.
Mungkin ke? Kang tengok nari sama jer! Amik ko, rambut Ebi sudahpun kembali ke normal. Iron je ek rupanya...n wnder ler looked kejung! Erm....si
tukang urut tuh nampak seronok je urut Ebi...sambil scene dia diurut
dikaburkan sebab terdedah bahagian lain badan Ebi. Hah! Tergelak....cam
tengok video raid badan pencegahan maksiat lak kabur sana kabur sini... Shawal
punya pon. Aiyo...tak payah la kalao camtuh. Hish...perlu ke
camtuh.Don't show jer la...kan senang. Cam nak bagi orang guna their
imagination je kan. Takpe...anything for AFUNDI I suppose. Aku kesian si Candy dan Mila. Perform
susah susah, dapat four blue lights terus dapat hadiah makeover konon
untuk dibawa keluar ke dinner jer. Another America's Next Top Model
reference ler tuh. How original. Make over? Make up over adalah!
Sama ngan make up artiste yang over dan ketinggalan zaman yang sampai
make up kan meka ni ala ala pengantin zaman 80an tepung empat inci.
Keji!!! Macam adik adik nak cendut! Lebih burok dari asal. Maybelline sponsor ke? Ok...everyone...switch to M.A.C. And
Steven...it's pronounced VOLUME not WORUME. No wonder these kids punya
English cam berterabur tak abih...da people they interact with pun
camtuh. Aiyo...setakat bak ke Bora Ombak ke. Heh! Mak aih! Exclusive
gila! NOT!!!! Adik Diddy kan nyanyi tuh? Sapa leh bagitau (sambil jeling someone) Kenapa
lah jadikan rupa Candy dan Mila cam streetwalkers pakai camtuh, and
making them just look cheap, with that tarty make-up and those
cheap-ass dresses! Hish! Kalau da nak camtuh sangat, bawa je ke Chow
Kit dan terus leh on duty katanya ngan 'kak-bang' yang lain. Erm..but I
think even drag queens have more sense of making up with lesser
cosmetics than a clown at a two star circus from Tunisia. Mila
looked like GRO dangdut ok! Apa nih Astro???!!! Si Candy lak dijadikan
rupa cam Filipino maid yang off day ke The Beach. Merasalah make-up
Chucky!!!! WHAT IS ASWAD WEARING???? Is that a damn apron???? And takde baju lain ke? Is it laundry day finally? Nampaknya semalam punya Diarrhea hari promo, so kononnya tim to plug more sponsors. Apa
la...kalao dapat sponsor kasut pon...amik ler yang cantik sikit. Not
five seasons cast offs yang nampak so cheap, ala Jukebox. Yang
remainder three blue lights dapat letter from the family. But eh...apa
ni. Dulu Ebi wat susah susah pun dapat letter from the family je. Ni
runner-ups pn da dapat tuh. Cait! Never mind ler....getting dinner at
Bora Ombak pn bukan penting sangat....tapi geram jer ler meka ni cam
double standards. Orang cam Mila tak penah dapat proper surprise
yang meletop! Ebi yang kononnya mum dia datang Aznil kata Astro
terbangkan khas, tul ke yang family bayar sendiri? Keji la kalao
benar.... Evaluation time. Post mortem yang jarang ada anything worth noting. Shawal - pitching problems but agree with kak Fati kata dia he llooked comfortable with his bdy language. For
Heliza they shuld have just simplified it by telling Heliza that she
should not forget the melody in performing when she tries to do vocal
acrobatics. Aswad no komen ler...rasanya tenaga pengajar pun da lemah ngan dia da Candy
was awesome, tapi memang tak stuju ngan Roslan tol yang kata bab jerit
tuh because Candy has good control of her voice.Syafi was right in
saying that there was simply just lack of focus and it could have been
better. Menci tol Roslan kata Candy sora besar, teros prone sombong.
I think her performance was a down to earth fun attempt. Dunno where he
picked that up...but you didn't see him telling that BEFORE the kids
went on stage masa prepping on Friday kan? Post komen je lebih... The 'surprise' for Dafi nbgan Jolin Tsai was so busuk! Hope Dafi Mila was minor weaknesses jer. Entahlah...why
have a post mortem if you don't tangani isu isu yang sbenar. Nak
AFKELUAR tenaga pengajar leh tak Astro (as if....)
PS - One
my my regular blog readers, Fraimee atau lebih dikenali sebagai Fry is
now in the ICU Hospital Pakar Perdana Kota Bharu. Dengar
akibat komplikasi pembedahan. Dia operate pendarahan dalam
perut-tumour... Please say a little prayer for him dan semoga dia
sembuh... we're with you, Fry. Keep strong!
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.
