"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear; Thou art with me." (Psalm 23:4)

*I will be leaving for Kulai at 7am bersama ngan Freddie Fernandez to pay our last respects to the late Pak Atan.
**Update petang Ahad - Aku telah kembali ke Kuala Lumpur bersama Freddie dari Maestro dan Rozina dari Astro. Sempat mengikut upacara pengkebumian Mawi's later father kat Tanah Perkuburan Islam Felda Taib Andak lebih kurang 10.45 pagi. Beberapa warga Maestro dan Astro turut menghadirkan diri to pay their last respects.
Selesainya everything, we all moved to rumah jiran Mawi di mana ibu Mawi is staying for the moment. Nampak rumah separuh siap yang menjadi idaman allahyarham... sedih terkenang dia tak sempat melihat rumah itu sempurna didirikan.
Lega hati dapat menyampaikan takziah pada Mawi, dan duk bertanya keadaan dirinya. Jelas pemikiran dia tengah kusut ngan pelbagai isu yang melanda, disamping pemergian ayahanda tercinta.
Apapun... be strong Mawi. As a friend... I wish you all the best.
Untuk pengetahuan peminat Mawi, dia akan direhatkan oleh Maestro selama tiga minggu, jadi setiap aktiviti yang dijadualkan dalam tempoh tu akan dibatalkan atau ditunda.

I'm sorry... what was that?
Kita kat konsert keberapa ini... mmm... hampeh!!! Tak ada peningkatan langsung. If anything, the students seem to be regressing rather than progressing. Bazir beras je dok dalam Akademi kalau setakat performance cukup makan.
I don't have a clue to how they're going to survive in the real world after this...
Malam semalam punya konsert was one of the WORST of the whole season, especially since it was already the fifth, tapi standard cam minggu-minggu awal and not halfway as it actually was.
First of all... aku nak komen bab fashion sebab aku tetap sakit hati ngan baju. Pesen kali ni improve ler sikit... tapi mungkin atas sebab aku dengar kali ni da masuk consultant bab tuh.
Tapi tetap... kalao korang perasan, skirt pendek Velvet coupled with the boots tak kena langsung sebab menampakkan betis dia yang ala pemain bola. So unflattering. Meka ni tak study ke bebudak sebelum dress them up?
And how about the other two examples di bawah ni?

Erm... tapi aku suppose meka anggap kelas ler baju tu sebab lampu tuh daripada IKEA punya catalogue. Still it was horrible. Tapi aku rasa tak ler sekeji seperti Fiebie katakan dia sebahagian dari tema Star Wars.
Even my favourite si Farhan pun not spared. Dahler masa show pakai baju tidur. Time Menuju Puncak dia tukar ler baju kerana perlu menari, terus pakai baju yang ala transperent light-light complete with this flowy material yang just was everywhere. Last-last nampak ler lurah dendam time menari. Nasib baik ler pakai bra itam. Cuba kalau masa time Ekin dulu (ingat tak review aku masa tu) yang baju nampak bra murahan ala Bee Dees - or worse RM10 3 helai kat pasar malam kat Keramat.

Pening... pening... but on with the show lah. Hmmm... malas sebenarnya mau review kali ni sebab tak hold aku langsung performances from these kids ngan ala tak kuasa nak perform gitu... someone please slap some sense into all of the remaining ones sebab almost all of them NO PROGRESS!
Kalau ikutkan, Haziq tambah teruk... Farhan pun down sikit... (tapi dimaapkan sikit asalkan tak melarat sebab dia memang meletup da pun) dan yang lain sama jer spiralling downwards uncontrollably.
And here's... the review.

Diddy - Biar Betul (Akar)
He was a little out of breath, but all in all it was a rocking performance. This time, aku rasa his intensity, yang usually buat dia nampak rigid and so calculative (merasalah Adlin kebas dari review aku dan Fiebie tapi tak diberikan kredit) worked in his favour.
Definitely the best performance from Diddy so far but I sort of agree ngan Juliza Adlizan punya komen that his main problem is the lack of identity when he's onstage.
He's one of the remaining few in the Akademi yang masih mengalami masaalah ni yang telah mengakibatkan penyingkiran Zila, so here's hoping he'll prove me wrong before it's too late.
Rating klubbkidd :  (Patutnya tiga setengah bintang, tapi tolak setengah sebab dia terkejut tak maintain time bunga api meletup)

Salima - Because Of You (Kelly Clarkson)
Time Salima nyanyi nih, aku rasa cam dia nyanyi lagu nasyid ketika mulut disumbat ngan selipar jepun.
Her problems were massive in terms of enunciation, diction... etc.
Ok, so she had problems with language. But let's progress from there.
Nyanyian dia slurring tak abih dan terlalu mendayu tuk something that was more along the lines of releasing this pent up emotion and frustration.
Tak guna ke kamus yang Dr Eveready bagi? And kalau pakai takkan ler nak translate word for word... apapun baju dia one of the worse!
Letak lilin ke cahaya apa kat celah kaki dia dah dia leh masquerade as a tanglung untuk Pesta Kuih Bulan.
Kesian Kelly Clarkson kalao dia dengo Salima dan tengok baju dia pakai yang tak kena konsep lagu... mesti garu pala sampai berdarah tertanggal kulit pala.
Rating klubbkidd :  

Haziq - Juwita Citra Terindah (M.Nasir)
Start pun cam singing a badly composed lagu rakyat rather than this lagu pop yang tengah popular.
Tahap kesumbangan dia, korang kena dengar sendiri lah. Aku cakap pun, ada yang stok pekak badak tak caya kan? So kalau dengar... eloklah. Kerana dia, aku rasa from now on, aku kena pakai ear plugs je bila gi Dewan Sivik nak tonton konsert.
Yang paling tak tahan tuh signs of anxiety disorder tetap! Erm... takde ke aksi lain? Lain kali mintak ler Ajai pegang rotan dok sebelah dia. Perform jer dia nak wat aksi Karam Singh Walia dia, rotan sekali... komen si AC pasal Haziq rupa terseksa dan teraniaya, aku rasa lebih sesuai digunakan pada para penonton, both kat venue dan melalui TV kerana have to endure that horrendous thing he passes off as singing.
By the way, aku rasa Salima keluar minggu ni pun akibat dia pun sudah di infect ngan anxiety disorder la katanya. Yes, it's contagious! Mintak-mintak student lain tak kena... tapi mengikut gambar diatas, jelas terbukti it's too late!!! Quarantine meka cepat!!!! Lock Haziq up in solitary confinement and throw away the key!!!!
Rating klubbkidd :  

Amirul - Lagu Zaman (SM Salim & Ramli Sarip)
Ouch!!!! (review paling pendek tapi tepat to describe that performance)
Rating klubbkidd : (Tambah satu bintang hanya kerana kesian takde bintang kalau tak)

Velvet - Sangkar Cinta (Ziana Zain)
Ok... it's official. Velvet is just getting too lazy to make an effort.
She is too dependant on her vocals alone yang dia tahu cukup bagus sampai tahap koreografi pun dia malas nak ikut sangat.
She even dropped a word early on.
Vocally she was ok ler tapi dia cam overconfident bila dia sampai some difficult notes that dia leh leka and screw up easier parts.
She lacks punch, and that's sad sebab aku rasa potential dia is quite overwhelming (just like the sight of betis dia yang the wardrobe department seolah nak highlight)
Rating klubbkidd :    

Faizal - Terharu (Sweet Charity)
"Ko ni cam Ricky Martin - puna kerusi".... kata AC.
Erm... tak silap aku last week dalam review da carut Harun Salim Bachik kan pasal he made that comment. AC has been doing his homework I see... lain kali bagi lak credit if you have to plagiarise apa-apa ek.
But it was deserving sebab Faizal can't dance for nuts. Kadang-kadang tengok swagger dia ni cam drunken master aje. Camna tuh... lebih sebulan dok Akademi  jalan pun masih senget!
Vocal ok ok jer... malas nak komen bab tuh sebab takde peningkatan takde penurunan, tapi dia ni... erm korang tengok replay. Dia ni paham lirik ker?
Dari penari empat orang tuh, perlu ke nyanyi line tertentu kat penari laki (gelak jahat sat! Tu komen cik Fiebie kat aku ler... so salahkan dia kalao nak marah)
Malas... I think it's a waste of time and words to continue. Aku rasa Faizal ni memang static, but the audience doesn't even care. He could fart onstage and people would still vote him (*sigh*)
Aku tetap sokong Faizal, tapi aku tak suka tengok dia terlampau selamba without taking things more seriously.
Here's hoping lor...
Rating klubbkidd :   

Farhan - Biarlah Rahsia (Siti Nurhaliza)
Honestly... aku kecewa sikit ngan Farhan punya rendition.
It wasn't as good as I hoped it would be, sebab walaupun aku negative gila tengok Diari sepanjang minggu dia struggle ngan lagu tu, I still hoped for the best from her.
Still, it was a challenging song for her sebab unline orang cam Salima, dia tak boleh sangat lagu mendayu ni.
All in all, she didn't stamp her superiority on the song, and quite a few parts where she visibly slipped, tapi in a group of eight yang the best is only mediocre, Farhan was still the best of the night.
Rating klubbkidd :    

Apa ler komen yang semakin 18SX ni kat Akademi Fantasia???
Hah? Kembang kuncup katanya. Intelligent ler sangat. Geez... those witty comments were really impressive ler.
Sheesh.
If you guys are looking for what I think of the performance of lagu bonus in persembahan berkumpulan bebudak ngan lagu Serasi Bersama dendangan asal dari Nurul dan Ajai, serta Menuju Puncak, sori ler but I really didn't have the mood to even look at the performance.
Time nak masuk break pas Farhan, kami dapat berita menyedihkan mengenai pemergian ayahanda tersayang Mawi... apa lagi...kami semua terkejut beruk.
Walaupun mungkin meriah ker haper bunyi lagu mengundang kami yang tahu untuk melupakan seketika benda tu... it was impossible.
And it stretched until Aznil made the announcement... I'm sorry but again I say  couldn't gather my thoughts and focus on what I thought of the two performances, so memang tak sesuai kalao aku nak komen.
Aku one thing for sure tak setuju ngan komen Adlin pasal pemilihan lagu. Memang aku pun sedikit sebanyak rasa some of the songs hambar, but still I do not see what's wrong with testing the versatility of the kids.
Mungkin tahun ni nampak ketidaksesuaian lebih ketara simply because almost all of the kids TIDAK VERSATILE!
Aku ingat lagi dulu... masa musim kedua. Sedangkan Bob pun lagu Amuk leh bawak ngan bagus... apa pun irama.
And most of the kids were that way. Think back.
Kali ni... semua bebudak stereotype able to carry only one genre at most (tu pun sumbang mahram punya nyanyian).
So jangan disalahkan lagu... salahkan pembawanya.
I said it... and I will say it again. These kids are simply not improving.
At this rate, I don't see them performing any better even sampai final nanti. Biar konsert pertama atau sepuluh, tetap meka camtuh gak.
Bila nak improve?
The worst part is, bila meka kuar kang, kalao attitude dalam Akademi da camtuh, bayangkan bila meka da keluar, da jadik artis. Keras pala nak ikut cara sendiri, tak nak ikut tunjuk ajar.
Artis camtuh ker yang kita nak?
Astro better worry because perangai bebudak tu, will make people think more than twice sebelum menghabiskan duit AFUNDI kalau keadaan ni tetap berterusan.
Okler... da kul berapa... nak ciao balik. Tak tidur ler alamatnya ni...
By the way... thse are the results selepas show. Malas nak pre-show results sebab ranking seminggu tak gerak-gerak pun.

Camna ek undian Haziq tinggi sangat? Very the Misteri Nusantara.
Am I happy Salima has been eliminated? Honestly.. yes. Memandangkan tinggal Haziq yang turn me off, I hope that he too will ikut ler jalan Salima soon.
But then again... that's MY personal opinion of their worth to the Akademi.
Apapun, aku nak katakan sini... sebab ramai masuk sini aku nak caj tuk setiap kali korang masuk blog.
Setiap kali masuk korang diwajibkan AFUNDI SEMUA pelajar KECUALI Haziq at least sekali seminggu.
Aku tatau ler korang wat ke tak, tapi resit doa dimurahkan rezeki korang mengiringi (cam sial je aku ni...) Cadangan aku ni adalah supaya memulakan systematic elimination untuk pastikan Haziq keluar sebab dia je yang nampak sangat ada outside inteference dalam votes, tetiba melambung mendadak walaupon burok persembahan!
Apapun... don't forget ek to check these fabulous reviews :
mentallydisturbed (orang gila meroyan akibat tak makan obat)
mY kopitiam (molot takde insuran yang mega pedas!)
badrulaftersix (pejuang pergerakan AFUNDI Diddy)
maddox24 (gentle sikit nih kalau dibandingkan)
5thE (fashionista divine!)
Lea Laurielle (queenly musings)

Aku ari ni pening ngan keja... dan sekali ngan beberapa masaalah department lain yang menggangu kehidupan aku.
Still whatever lah... I think I'll be going for a holiday soon nak get away from the stress. Sebab susahkan diri pun nak pening naik blood pressure because of the demands of work, what for kan?
Mmm... tapi sempat ler gelak ngan laporan Diari pertama  Release stress terus.
Aku tergelak time mamat chef dari Adabi masuk tuh.
Pasal table ettiquette tuh memang la bagus ajar meka. But seriously I don't think that they'll be layng out any dinner tables anytime soon. So how much time was wasted on teaching them all that. Cooking too... perlu ke.
I mean, yerlah kan... nak tie in for Adabi's sake as a sponsor, but it was silly lah to take it to that extent.
Ten weeks in the Akademi, so little time for them to learn the necessary skills, pastu meka kena put up with all the commercialised crossover elements yang aku rasa menyemak jer.
Everything done could have been summarised into this.
"When you are sitting with tons of silverware, keeping it safe would be recognising the soup spoon, pastuh, work your way using your fork/knife/spoon from the outside in with each course."
Kan?
Kesian muka Faizal the most sebab cam lost jer bab tuh. Tapi at the same time, si Pejal ni kira very the domesticated gak ek. Tima masak, layout table, folding napkins semua... aku tengok dia dengan penuh semangat. Sesuatu tul...
The other half of the Diari fokus pada kritikan tenaga pegajar khususnya Ajai pada persembahan pelajar yang cam ting-tong... main-main sekor-sekor.
Erm... last-last si Ajai ditunjuk dipanggil masuk opis Ramli Sarip and meka ala ala bergaduh mulut kat dalam. Tu ler cliffhanger bab suspen sebelum Diari kedua malam ni.
Apapun, aku rasa salute ler kat Ajai sebab he did what he did (if kalau betul la dia panas sebab penurunan prestasi bebudak tuh).
Tak paham tul ada gak orang-orang (terutama langau/nyamuk kat blog ni) yang dok feeling nak manjakan bebudak tuh sangat. Famili ke fanatik ke... ingat lah sikit, bebudak tu kena kerja keras untuk 10 minggu je (kurang kalao di dush keluar awal).
Dah sah-sah keluar meka ada potentsi bergelar bintang, perlu ke manjakan?
Ada artis dalam industri ni hempas pulas nak naik bertahun punya usaha. Bebudak ni masuk je Akademi dimanjakan dengan segalanya diberikan.
All they have to do for ONE week, is learn one song, perform lagu tema, and later mid-way like this coming concert, learn one bonus song.
Susah sangat ke?
Pastu kena kritik, terus emotional breakdown. Kang bila jadik artis bebetul lagik teruk... leh tahan ke?
Kalau takut dilamun ombak... kan? You can finish the sentence off yourself. Ni sedikit sebanyak ler penyebab industri kita tak maju-maju.
Segala pak tahu yang beriya-iya never been in the industry reducing the professionalism sebab they THINK they know this and that.
Per per jer... nak gi melantak tunggu Diari kedua. Suspen gak sikit pasal Ajai dan Ramli Sarip ni cause I know Ajai is professional in his observation and execution in teaching. Kalau dok posisi dia sapa tak frust... demi kamera je kena kurang tunjuuk kalao tak ada ler mak bapak, sedara mara atau fanatik yang emo melupakan yang anak meka masuk Akademi Fantasia, dan bukan Taska Ribena.
Tengok Diari part kedua... mmm.. memang betul ler... Ajai ngadu kan.
Aku malas mnak ulas dan carut lebih ler Diari bahagian kedua... tapi aku nak stress the importance of this scenes.
Sebab the frustration of the tenaga pengajar ni... can be felt by the scenes showed. Just what are the kids doing... kenapa meka seolah main-main je lebih.
Aku komen sini tuk berapa ari da... ada je fanatik and family kan yang carut aku balik... masaalahnya tengok ler kegeraman tenaga pengajar sendiri.
Oh by the way... ada berita sensasi yang ada kena mengena ngan Akademi Fantasia on the way. By next Monday latest... nanti aku update sikit ek.
Apa pun... tu je la aku nak say about this Diari... cause I just wasn't too interested to bother with the rest of the scenes.
Nak tidur....
By the way... memang aku nyampah ngan orang drama swasta lebih... pada yang suka atau tak suka Farhan pun... ari ni memang... favourite aku pun menyakitkan ati aku.
Apapun...like I will say... aku puas ari ni Ajai luahkan pendapat aku selama beberapa ari ni iaitu bebudak tidak serious dan playing the fool sahaja.
By the way last scene tu... siapa gerangannya wanita misteri tu.
Ramai teka Siti Nurhaliza kan? Tapi aku tengok dari belakang cam tembam lak... Idayu pun mungkin... *gelak tergolek ni*
Ok ler... going to sleep!
Eh lupa announce... Fiebie is back!!!!

First of all.. I am tired. Very tired. From work... and personal strains.
Sorry if anyone expected a posting semalam, tapi aku tak sempat lak bagitau that I was going to Johor.
Berlepas pagi semalam, and ni pun baru sampai dok abihkan keja sikit, before I have time to blog.
Pergi ke Johor bukan nak enjoy tapi atas dasar kerja, launching album Zarina, Mahkota Jiwaku kat Yayasan Warisan Johor.
To cut short things, it was fun, tapi tiring ler sebab rushing kan... dok sehari je.
Kalau nak tengok pics yang ada, erm... tak banyak sebenarnya, tapi ni ada pics bloggers kurang siuman (bukan Fiebie yang memang mentally disturbed).
Erm, pic belah kiri masa singgah kat Melaka on the way back. Si Juan feeling Hang Tuah, tatau lak Hang Tuah leh pose three quarter profile.
Second pic on the right is Juan professing his love for tulips. Kalau nak tau, favourite Juan ialah Kathmandu tulips. Tak pernah dengar? Hah... tu la... apa da korang ni... tanya Juan next time you see him and ask himtul ke tak dia suka Kathnmandu tulips (matilah aku kena carut ngan dia pastuh)
By the way, Mawi pun ada, untuk duet CInta Di Hujung Dunia ngan Zarina selain Zarina wat about three songs on her own.
Si botak ada show malam sebelumnya in Johor Bahru as well and I thought it was nice of him to support Zarina on her album launch. Camtuh ler semangat keluarga Akademi Fantasia!
Cuma sayang sepanjang event tuh, technical problems tak abih-abih.
Sakit jiwa dibuatnya. Mamat yang jaga sound system dahler wat muka poyo jer (padan muka malu kena jeling satu dewan)... lum agik MC toya yang so loves the sound of his own voice.
Malam aku ponteng nak gi dinner show Zarina tuk stay kat hotel sebab ada Astro Ria kan... sempat ler layan first part of the Diari.
Boring sangat... repetitive so I just went to bungkus dinner sikit and came back in time for Muzik@Ria. Puas ati tengok music video Caramu over the programme's exclusive preview... sekali tengok guest malam semalam semua kengkawan on air. Nikki, Zahid and Zila were just so much fun along with Yasmin Hani. Sakit ati tul tak dapat join...
Anyway, dok jauh sikit walau sebentar da memacam...
Dalam kusut fikiran aku mengenai someone, another problem came up. No biggie... tapi just irritatingly taking up my thoughts. Then siang tadi on the way, abang Badrul call nak cakap something, and sebelum end up call, cita pasal Fiebie tup kedai.
Mmm... kalao nak tau, Fiebie pun going through a rough patch in dia punya life... so I think the thing is only temporary. Apa lagi keep checking on of the best blogs around ler. Dia akan come back punya... aku yakin.
Tengah update blog ni, sambil tengok Diari pertama... Isn't it obvious that kalao even Lotter and the rest of the gang leh spoof Kevin Zahri and the only word in his caveman vocab, "CARBS", doesn't the production of Astro think that something's wrong??? Kalau kita dok luar ni nak kritik memacam bebudak bangang tatau takper... tapi kalau da bebudak tuh tak kuasa camna?
Velvet was ok in her rehearsal... but I have learnt ngan dia don't expect too much so I'll be surprised.
Vocal techniques and all... boring.
Lotter... Amirul... making up after a slight tiff... are they trying to get us think homoerotic ke apa ni? Diddy with the camera... erm... kind of juvenile, but kind of revealed what we have always thought about these kids for the longest time. They know the limitations of surveillance on them, so they are in control of the situation.
Salima?
Sat... aku terjatuh kerusi ni... sat...
Erm... aduh.. sakit perut!!! Dia nyanyi apa tuh???
Faizal was ok, tapi dia cam nampak tense semacam. Erm... is it my imagination or Faizal tuh cam PJK dah (Perut Jalan Kedepan).
Farhan aku risau sikit, sebab dia tak penah dengar Biarlah Rahsia sebelum ni, so dia cam unsure a little. I hope she works out the kinks, but no major problems with her.
Alamak.. Amirul lak... lari tup volume...zzzzz.... tak sempat, tertidur dengar sora dia baru terjaga bila scene abih dan bertukar
Diddy was more spirited, and thus better than usual.
Another take on Velvet. Somehow I'm worried for her as well. I mean, she's still fantastic no doubt, tapi kekadang dia ni erm... cam having too much fun. Hope she doesn't get carried away.
Lotter on Bila April, the song suddenly changed. I don't know, tapi aku rasa aku kind of like it. Mintak-mintak dia deliver betul ler masa konsert.
Haziq? I'm sick and tired of him. I think he repeated "sempurnakan cinta ku" so irritatingly. Somebody just throw him out... puh-lease.
He has no maturity in performance or even character. Why is he even there? Next time kalao program camni nak amik contestants bawah 21 tahun, erm... make sure as long as they not emotionally below 21 dah.
Apa dia Salima? TV prima? Plasma dan prima takde beza ek... erm... well I can see why Ajai said she's 90% ready for her performance of the song... NOT!!!
Diari kedua erm...  scene Haziq nyanyi Fiona tuh kenapa? He sucked on that... eh... wat lagu tugasan Salima lak ek... yang Hindustan tuh... he sucked on that too... apa agik? Arghhh... someone stop him. Mamat ni feeling semua lagu leh... tapi one song in three keys and they're not even the right ones.
PATHETIC!!!! OUT!!! OUT!!! OUT!!!
Wasted airtime je focus kat dia. Performance sendiri mau keluar anak tekak... practise tanak, nak feel leh wat semua songs orang lain. Uwarghh!!! And Astro selected him out of berapa ribu orang yang mai audition???!!!
Masa time practise choreography untuk lagu bonus, erm... is it just me, atau nasi lemak Salima semakin ketara? Dia cam saja carik T shirt two sizes too small. Nyata ler dari start sampai skang... yang pakai tudung pun lebih seksi dari yang pompuan lain yang tak. Tak caya? Tengok Diari kedua ari ni... and that purplish lavenderish t shirt dia pakai (if the matching loud yellow tudung and running shoes don't blind you first)
Aku rasa kan... time to initiate ler campaign tuk keluarkan dia dan Haziq.
Cuba korang maintain sapa korang vote, tapi korang pastikan, AFUNDI hanya SATU untuk mereka yang kau tak fikirkan, selain dari Salima dan Haziq.
Dalam erti kata lain, vote for everyone but them.
If you vote ten times for your favourite student, vote at least once for everyone else. In other words, AFUNDI Farhan, Faizal, Amirul (err... bear with me on this), Lotter, Velvet and Diddy.
Arghhh!!! Kevin Zahri in da house y'all!!!
Susu is the best katanya.... *lariiiiii!!!!!*
Erm... do tell me the significance of showing Velvet dan Farhan tidur?
Menuju Puncak was better, tapi masuk konsert kelima masih tak better, baik ada penyingkiran beramai-ramai kan? Orang biasanya konsert ketiga da flawless gitu-bebudak ni masuk konsert kelima baru nampak not bad camna?
By the way, sebut penyingkiran beramai-ramai... ingat tak I said last week (ke week before) pasal surprise bakal muncul?
I am not going to say anything, sebab nanti ada yang baca kang yang tukau elak prediction aku jadik realiti kan? So be prepared these next couple of weeks for something you guys won't be able to imagine.
And by the way, sapa kata final kali ni empat orang lagi?
Gelak ajer ler aku... bagi korang suspen. Aku tak confirm apa-apa sebab aku bukan production team so aku tatau 100%... but mark my words.
Ok ler nak keluar supper with my ex... at least someone still bothers with me...

PS - AFUNDI semua pelajar KECUALI Haziq dan Salima. Sokongan pada semua boleh menolong menyelamatkan keadaan dari orang yang patut tersingkir masih dok dalam Akademi. And guys, don't forget to keep requesting for caramu dari Nikki dan Zahid ek...

Posting ari ni sebelum Diari sebab tanak terlewat ngucapkan HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Qenari.
Ala... kalao korang chat kat @15 ko dapat ler tengok nick dia cam kat sebelah ni.
Dia ni moderator yang baik ati gila...(bayau tau!) tapi slalu ngadu lapar laa.. ngantuk la (tengok contoh disebelah)
Kat msjbox blog nih pun dia kerap chat...
So aper pun, ni lagu khas bagi Qen yang demand nak aku wish dia dalam blog aku gak (gatal bijik ler minah ni)
Takper la Qen, sebab aku sayang kat ko... aku wish ko ler ek...
Ehem... ehem... let me clear my throat... kang nyanyi sumbang lak ko marah kan... la la la la la....do mi do...
Ready or not... here's to you Qenari (jangan demand hadiah ke belanja lak pasni ek!!!! Aku sekeh kang... - matilah kena trajang ngan Qen bila jumpa kang... dia ni kicik-kicik cilik padi... ganaz!)

Happy birthday to youuu
Ko memang kertuuuuuu
Happy birthday to Qenari
Happy birthday to youuuu

Puas? Kertu da ko.. takderler.. sebenarnya Qen ni very the dara sunti lagik... only 24. Also want to wish a happy birthday also to Laurielle...keep hanging tough gurl.
By the way bagi meka yang nunggu pesanan dari Zila, ni dia... tima kasih Nana dan Linda kerana menjadi the best hosts dalam konti ERA.

As usual... kalau tak leh baca dia tulis apa, ni pesanan Zila :

Kepada peminat Zila dan semua pembaca :
http://klubbkidd.blogdrive.com.
Terima kasih kepada semua peminat2 yang telah mengundi saya. Saya mintak maaf banyak2 coz x dapat buat yang terbaik buat anda semua...
Teruskanlah mengundi kawan2 saya yang berada di Akademi tu... ok... salam sayang... Zila

Eh eh... Diari hari ni bermula ngan erm.. meka ni taken nak dibawak ke surprise location that I have no idea where sebab kena turn down volume ada betina sial dalam office aku menyalak mintak turunkan volume. Memang binatang... tu la akibatnya nak tengok Diari kat opis ni... memacam perangai perangai kena bertahan. The best thing is... betina ni punya suara 250 decibels! And that's when she's whispering!
Oooo... acting park haper aa? Malas laa... endorsement agik.
Just thought the whole thing was silly and a waste of time.
Eh eh... Salima.... minah rempit ek... tu ke highlight of the Diari?
Erm... blah blah blah... aku nak tengok meka ni usaha betul-betul dalam kelas.. bukan gi jolly jolly... penting ke to me?
Kalau nak jolly shandy kanak-kanak Ribena... takyah ler waste half an hour on it.
Boring... did nothing for me to like the kids' characters more.
I mean you want to talk about the environment, fine.. but it's not exactly the best idea when it comes to programming... kan?
Mmm... main water gun ler.... air terjun...
Oooh... gi Nogori ek... but what's the point happy happy then bring down the whole day. Shouldn't it have been done in reverse? Let them hear the audio message first then take them out to forget their problems?
Mmm... entahlah.
Beginning of the second Diari pun nothing much.
Mmm... bagi nama opposite gender? Lotter Azizah binti Aziz??? Jamal Halle Berry??!!! Diddy Fatimah? Sapa Melur tu... Faizal ke Amirul ek?
Matilah Haziq dapat nama Britney katanya... 
Aku rasa time musim kedua... sapa yang rapat bebudak tau nama kita berikan kat meka lagik comel dan unik.
Into the evaluation of their performances, Velvet, kan da kata pitchy. As for Haziq, aku rasa meka still edited the comments, sebab Haziq punya masaalah lebih dari penghayatan.
Diddy dipuji sebab buat apa yang diminta... just hope he brushes up his feel of things. Farhan... blend of chest and head voice...tu kata Syafizawati. Mmm.. malas komen kan... yang sibuk kata falsetto.
Faizal entah kenapa tak ditegur (ker edited lagik)... Lotter too meka baik sangat tegur light-light jer... si Salima kena aku puas. Sebab ramai kata ok per Salima nyanyi padahal sumbang. Mmmm... entah pendengaran orang kita ni.
Ek eleh... nangis lak Salima kena tegur...perlu ke?
My Lord... she is like... you know... like totally... like.. a massive drama queen!
Get a grip la girl... tak cukup jeritan tuk ko nak terasa ke? Sentap sebab orang lain dapat sorakan lebih? Panas ngan kritikan ke... hish... baru pelajar memacam!
Arghh!!! Last scene pun nak nangis si Amirul dan Lotter? Enough with the damn tears... malas la...ni senarai lagu baru.

Amirul - Lagu Zaman (SM Salim & Ramli Sarip)
Diddy - Biar Betul (Akar)
Faizal - Terharu (Sweet Charity)
Farhan - Biarlah Rahsia (Siti Nurhaliza)
Haziq - Juwita Citra Terindah (M.Nasir)
Lotter - Bila April (Fazley)
Salima - Because Of You (Kelly Clarkson)
Velvet - Sangkar Cinta (Ziana Zain)
Lagu Bonus - Serasi Bersama (Ajai & Nurul)

Aku rasa paling akan menghadapi masaalah Amirul,  Salima dan Lotter. Yang lain should have it pretty easy.
On the flipside, yang paling menonjol sekali, aku rasa mungkin Faizal, Diddy, Farhan dan Velvet with Farhan paling beruntung dapat lagu berhantu Siti. Aku harap ler after she does this, the masses will open their ears to her voice!
Haziq should be able to do Juwita, tapi masaalah dia mungkin dari segi penghayatan... I don't know whether that boy knows how to have fun, and that's the main core of that song. It's a fun, bubbly pop song...
Ok ler.. nak ciao dari opis.. malas dok lama-lama.. night all...
By the way - jangan lupa - PREMIERE of music video Caramu Nikki featuring Zahid malam esok di Muzik@Ria bersama Yasmin Hani esok! Zila pun ada sekali... tune in ok!

Aku tau aku ada posting 'hutang'... tapi first things first... mengenai konsert minggu keempat.
Permulaan konsert keempat Akademi Fantasia was something yang I looked forward to, kerana aku rasa ni la minggu dimana majoriti pelajar betul-betul dicabar dengan pilihan lagu yang tidak memberikan perhatian kepada kemampuan peribadi.
For me, the concert was one that was really going to test the abilities of the kids.
And how did they fare?
Erm... read on ler kan. Setuju tau tidak - all I can say is, you guys have to think beyond sentiments kerana walaupun musim ni nampaknya pengundi lebih bijak menilai bakat, there still appears to be some who votes based on looks, kesian dan sebagainya.
Apapun, aku nak komen sikit pasal intro konsert kali ni. It started out with Adlin's apology for what transpired over the last concert, which I think was good, both for him and Astro.
Tapi aku cam geram lak bila Saleem lak went on non-stop. Bukan apa... memang dia berhak bersuara, but I think it was too long drawn and that dia went on and went, which was unfair to Adlin who had apologised to Saleem over national TV.
After all's said and done, kalau you were sincere in accepting the apology, then perhaps you should act like it. Malas komen lebih... pikir sendiri.
Oh... and Kevin Zahri was just so bloody irritating... dia cam so in love with the camera (his second relationship after the affair with himself).
Now on to the concert.

Velvet - Dikir Puteri (Noraniza Idris)
I think Velvet genuinely started out well, but something went wrong by the chorus and she seemed to be really pitchy there.
Entah ler...
I salute her because memang susah ler for her to maintain her composure, singing and dancing as well, which I think she did fairly well,
Still she seemed too preoccupied dan terlalu fokus pada tarian dia sampai dia tak memberi perhatian pada stage presence dia.
Entahlah... by midway through the song, baru separuh jalan je dia cam hilang confidence. Patutnya dia patut lebih yakin not only because she was the opening show, but also because she had this whole ensemble of not only dancer tapi also the backing of pelajar lain.
Camna tuh Velvet... AIYAK!!! Tak consistent lak... ni yang risau ni. I think she's losing focus, and Velvet better brush up real fast.
Rating klubbkidd :  (Setengah bintang tambahan sebab kurang peluh kali ni)

Haziq - Buat Sang Puteri (Spider)
I have to admit, Haziq memang improve and he did better than expected. BUT aku tetap kata dia overrated because he was just screaming everytime the chorus came about.
Lagikpun, aku memang meremang bulu roma ngan aksi Karam Singh Walia dia yang tak ubah-ubah... except this time Karam with Parkinsons lak.
It's getting tiring... and I really don't know how orang leh anggap jeritan dia tuh sebagai vokal yang power. Come on ler guys.... this is ridiculous.
At least Farah dalam musim kedua, sedar dan cuma ubah bila dia strain high notes dia and resorted to shouting.
Ni lak...seolah orang kita tak tahu beza between singing and shouting!
Anxiety disorder katanya... aku lak anxiety disorder bila tengok camnih. Aduh...
Erm... tapi tak berani la nak ngata Haziq. Tengok muka dia... nak ngadu tuh kat mummy and daddy!
Horrors la muka dia!!!
Rating klubbkidd :  (extra setengah bintang kerana usaha... patutnya at least tiga bintang tapi sebab menyeksa pendengaran dan jiwa aku ngan lalakan dia yang di anggap nyanyian kena tolak!)

Zila - These Boots Are Made For Walking (Nancy Sinatra/Jessica Simpson)
Her diction is far from perfect, tapi aku salute si Zila because she definitely made an immense efforts to perform despite her limitations.
Yang cuma menganggu aku sepanjang persembahannya adalah penari latar yang dok tengah tuh! Aiyo! Horror!!! 
Pompuan tulen ke tak ni? Penari mana lak diupah Astro nih???!!!
One more thing, Astro pas ni kena klasifikasikan ler Akademi Fantasia as 18SX judging by wardrobe.
Perhatian ek... pattern baju telah diubah design nak sesuaikan ke the area yang dok meka nak promote sangat ngan baju yang sebegitu erm... sopan. 
Nampaknya ada double standards dimana students kena cover up tapi back-up dancer ala gadis-gadis kelab dangdut.
Back to Zila... she was still too cautious, terlampau berjaga-jaga kerana takut wat kesilapan, dan seperti Velvet, kekurangan keyakinan dia mencacatkan sedikit persembahannya.
Patutnya she was taught to understand what she was singing cause I really agree with Adlin yang dia patut mainkan watak seductress atau penggoda yang bersesuaian ngan tema lagu.
Still, Zila gave a decent show... despite baju horror yang dia pakai crotchet knitwork ngan pattern ala patchwork quilt with sequins.
Rating klubbkidd :  

Diddy - Nusantara (Kembara)
Aku rasa siot punya kelakar ler skit ngan Hamid Gurkha nyanyi kat Bora Ombak tuh... even though it was a guilty pleasure to be laughing at his singing. Mmm... orang tuh dah senja, tak elok gelakkan dia.
On Diddy's performance itself, I can see a stabilisation of Diddy's vocals, and how there is more confidence in his execution.
His ability to handle the choreography and vocals is commendable, but still I have a problem with his stressing concentration.
Dalam nak pastikan stage performance dia memuaskan, he was all over running like a headless chicken. I think someone has to talk to him about how to learn to enjoy those moments, and why he has to do what he has to do... dan bukan main buat apa yang di suruh saja.
Aku in two minds about him honestly, sebab next to Zila, being hardworking and all, he has a problem with projecting his real personality, which is more interesting onstage.
Rating klubbkidd :  

Amirul - Khatulistiwa (Blues Gang)
First of all... perlu ke promote si pengawas sekolah rendah si Jamal tuh!!!!
Sheesh... anyway Amirul was nothing to shout about in the vocal department.
He 'Haziq-ed' midway ngan terkucil and ended up screaming the rest of the way.
Keep it real katanya... keeping it real would be keeping him out.
Kalau tak ada Ito aku da keluar gi hisap rokok je nak ilangkan stress kena layan nyanyian FLAT dia tuh. HORRIBLE!!!!!
Aku rasa Amirul is the only student yang paling tak progress langsung (saingan terdekat dia Salima and Haziq dari aspek ni).
He appears tone deaf... his singing lacks dynamics and dah ler time kena tegur Kak Ani... dia seolah kerek cam... he couldn't be bothered with the advice and asyik "Terima kasih...terima kasih...". Ni ler budak yang tak akan belajar langsung... kalau dia sibuk nak tidur... orang lagik nak tidur time dia wat show (except lalakan dia will keep you awake)
Rating klubbkidd :   (Tambah satu bintang hanya kerana Ito on harmonica was fantastic)

Farhan - Tak Ingin Lagi (Misha Omar)
Perlu ke membawa Shazzy?
I think it was unnecessary for him to be there, but dengan adanya si Shazzy ni, aku rasa lagi terbukti Farhan mampu mengawal pentas, walaupun ada yang tompang menyemak atas tuh.
Body language and communication dia with Shazzy, the camera and audience was fantastic!
Vocal control dan breathing technique dia superb and almost flawless. Her improvisation would put Misha to shame.
Definitely... undoubtedly... the BEST performance of the night!!!
And most importantly... Farhan is the most consistent dari semua pelajar seperti dibuktikan daripada empat persembahan.
By the way, pada mereka yang tidak ketahui, Farhan bukan nyanyi sora falsetto sebab ramai puji control vocal dia ni in falsetto. Women do NOT have falsettos.
Read HERE and HERE for more info. So educate yourself and maybe you'll realise some talents are absolutely amazing!
Rating klubbkidd :  (Kali pertama aku bagi five star performance - nak bagi enam tapi nanti orang kata aku biased lak)

Faizal - Wo! (Zahid)
Aku memang suka Faizal gila babas... tapi aku kena kata persembahan lagu Wo! Faizal was HORRIBLE!
Cam badut si Pejal ni...er... kenapa lak dia asik tenung kawasan dada penari pompuan yang dok nari ngan dia masa dance break tuh. Gatal gak budak ni... ingat gibeks... ke cover line sebab orang dok perasan dia sesuatuh touchy feely gituh.
Anyway, rap is something that needs an attitude in delivery... it's an artform, and Faizal was simply embarassing.
Just because he's cute, people forgive for screwing up the performance which was nothing short of disastrous!
Ricky Martin? Did Harun Salim Bachik make that comparison? William Hung mungkin lah...
At the end of the day, people have to admit this.
Despite Faizal punya bakat, masa time wat persembahan lagu Wo!, he couldn't sing, rap or dance.
And walaupun memang dia ada masaalah menari, aku rasa dia tak mencuba langsung untuk memperbaiki diri kerana terlalu yakin dia mempunyai ramai pengikut.
Walaupun Mawi dalam musim ketiga mengalami masaalah menari and dia sedar dia mempunyai sokongan kuat... at least midway Mawi improve sampai dia pun leh catch up bab tuh.
Faizal? I don't know... I'm starting to lose confidence in him.
Kongkang? Call him the whole simian family lor for all I care cause he sure dance deservedly into that one.
Memalukan saja tuan milik lagu, tak lain tak bukan, juara Akademi Fantasia musim kedua.
By the way... orang rappers pakai suar londeh. Erm... ni lak pakai atas pusat ke?
And erm... topi tu sapa punya ek sampai beso sangat tuh?

Salima - Senandung Hidup Berbudi (Ramli Sarip)
Ngilaian and monotony of her whole performance is simply becoming too predictable.
Aku lebih tertarik fokus kat pergelangan kakinya di mana aku terperasan rupanya dia pakai flesh coloured body stocking yang sampai tahap tu. Erm... sopannya walaupun kain terbelah, pakai stocking katanya.Yang nasi lemak lima puloh sen terbonjol apa cerita.
Aiyak....
"Kalau saya yang nyanyi,...saya pun akan sedar dan insaf" kata Harun SALIMA Bachik.
First of all.. mamat ni punya work so award-winning ker nak justify his position to make comments? Anyway... kalau dia insaf dan sedar... erm... Salima camna?
Apapun, Salima sumbang and was one of the vocally worst of the night.... tak paham gak terselamat lagik minah ni. Nunggu masa je... tak sabar aku nak standing ovation tuk dia time dia exit kang.
Rating klubbkidd :   

Lotter  - Bertemasya Desa Gemalai (Ramli Saripl)
What the f**k was Lotter doing???!!!
He started was too low, and terus kesumbangan overdose!
Picking up he just picked up momentum and overshot the mark.
Suara dia boleh diklasifikasikan sebagai suara orang baru bangun tidur yang lum 'pecah'.
Kalau yang lain susah kerana tercabar dengan genre, aku rasa Lotter ni tercabar dari semua aspek.
He was definitely THE WORST of the night, even outdoing Amirul, Salima dan Haziq.
Diatas pentas... tengok elok-elok. Seperti member aku pesan... rupa dia dah mula ilang perbandingan ngan Aziz Satar (which is actually a cute comparison) and more similar to Toki (visual horror - merasalah nightmare)
He is succumbing to the worst fears I had for him which is started out with a bang... and since then spiralling uncontrollably downwards and sucking more and more.
Rating klubbkidd :   

Sebelum apa-apa, aku nak katakan, aku nilaikan Zila, Faizal a little differently sebab tau mereka yang sebenarnya paling sukar membawa lagu-lagu tugasan memasing.
Aku rate kan Faizal low sebab takde effort, tapi aku generous ngan Zila sebab aku rasa she did try her best.
And that's what is partially important... not totally... but the effort counts for something. But of course at the end of it... results do matter.
All in all, aku rasa aku terhibur gak keseluruhannya konsert ini walaupun sakit telinga ngan binatang-binatang liar yang di benarkan masuk dewan dan melalak tanpa kira masa.
Menuju Puncak was the best of the season so far, with more energy and punch, walaupun Faizal tetap the worst. Bab tu, I have to say the best dancer is Amirul... but I suppose God gives a little extra to those who lack so much.
Congrats to Linda dan Corrie sebab berjaya gak dera bebudak ni nak improve.
Yang pentingnya, selepas semusim senyap... pyrotechnics kembali untuk konsert Akademi Fantasia, menambahkan 'umphh!!!' pada show.
Here hoping meka akan ubah-ubah choreography untuk spice things up. And perhaps, supaya bebudak ni lebih focused on performing well for Menuju Puncak, harap-harap Astro consider tutup voting SELEPAS meka selesai tarian tuh.
This will also give more time to pelajar yang perform last sekali supaya mereka yang mengundi berdasarkan persembahan diberi masa lebih sikit.
At least kalao wat camtuh, bebudak ni risau sikit dan brush up their dance (note : Faizal kongkang) and takde ler bebudak ni curi tulang sangat (ada yang tak menyumbang suara and nyanyi at some points masa Menuju Puncak)
Please ler people... start voting based on QUALITY dan bukan sentiments ler... bila nak maju ni. Sampai bila nak camni... kalau hancur pun puji.
Ni kedudukan undian sebelum dan selepas konsert.

Seperti dapat diperhatikan, Salima sekali lagi terselamat. Dan mangsanya Zila.
Apapun, I think this is simply ridiculous. Mengikut sumber yang monitor undian, Salima sebenarnya menduduki tangga terbawah sehingga lima minit terakhir baru dia pintas Zila. Hmphh!!! Sampai bila ler nak terselamat ni...
Aku happy sebab pengundi semakin bijak menunjukkan sokongan untuk persembahan yang berkualiti ngan mengAFUNDI Farhan untuk menduduki lagi sekali lagi diatas.
Apapun, seperti biasa, Isnin tahu ler apa datang kan? So wait for that. Also cita pasal trip kat Singapore yang HORROR!!!!
Erm... aku terhutang ngan peminat Rich kan pesanan dia masa kat last Monday kan? Sorry ler time tu tak sempat, bukan tanak posting.. paham ler ek sebab aku rushing nak abihkan keja sebelum berangkat ke Singapore for four days.
Apapun, thanks for everyone who keeps supporting my blog and me too... I have been reading everything you have to say and it means the world to me, ok.
Sat... sebelum apa-apa, ni yang di janjikan...

Erm... seperti biasa, kalau tak leh baca tulisan Rich tuh, ni apa yang ditulisnya.

To all of you, thanks for your support and encouragement. I hope that you have been enlightened by my presence in AF, and that I will continue to entertain you wholeheartedly. Thanks again for your deeds. God Bless... - Rich

Apa lagi ek... ni wat peminat Nora dan Karen... ada pic istimewa dari meka ek... siap posing tuk aku, Thanks girls! Nak amik pic Yazer, Felix, Rosma dan Sahri tapi sibuk ngan urusan lain time tuh, so layan jer...
Bebudak Prelude pun ada tapi sempat lepak ngan Hazama sat jer hi hi bye bye gitu...and er Liya sekali.
By the way, sempat ler aku snappy here and there sikit, and I think ni pic aku suka sangat nak share.
Kalau ahli anggota keluarga pelajar lain sibuk bak banner dan sepanduk nak promo dan support favourite memasing, ni yang paling semangat punya promo bagi aku, iaitu kaum kerabat Zila. Salute tul tengok keta meka pun dihias.
So meka dapat ler anugerah khas dari aku ni tuk semangat waja. Apapun... kesian lak aku teringat sebelum konsert aku amik pic keta meka ni nak kongsi, abih konsert tersingkir lak.
Adus... why lah... masih tak puas ati aku walaupun tuk aku Zila tuh kekadang nunggu masa je rupa dia. Still, it wasn't her time and she could have improved more given the chance.
Eh eh... cakap punya cakap lupa letak pics lak. NI dia...

  

Apa lagik ek. Takut ada yang terlupa nak add posting nanti panjang lebar lagik ler next posting aku.
Erm...terima kasih Astro sebab jemput jadi tamu di Imbasan Akademi Fantasia kali ni. Jangan salahkan ek tak dapat banyak sebab waktu terbatas. Tapi besh sebab ngan Alam, my ex editor. Old times...
Ooh... I have more thing to share. Siapa yang tak suka lantak ler ek... tapi untuk peminat Nikki dan Zahid... here's a little bit of exciting news.
Selepas 14 MINGGU lagu Caramu masuk Carta ERA, hari ni, lagu tu bertakhta di NOMBOR SATU!

Selain radio Ria di Singapura (selama dua minggu), lagu Caramu juga kerap menduduki Carta Sepuluh dan juga Carta 20 xfresh dan masih antara tiga lagu teratas! Ni tak kira lagi kedudukan top three di radio Kristal Brunei dan juga Hot Fm dan sebagainya.Terima kasih pada peminat Nikki dan juga Zahid (you go ZA8FC-KSNM!!!) kerana terus memastikan lagu tu at the top!
Apapun, one more piece of exciting news is that, jangan lupa menonton premiere music video Caramu yang akan ditayangkan di Muzik@Ria bersama Yasmin Hani pada hari Selasa ni (tak silap jam 9.30pm) Rugi jer tak tengok... music video dia best ok!

Ok ler... aku rasa setakat ni jer posting panjang lebar... jangan lupa membaca ulasan dan carutan pendapat warga blog lain on konsert Akademi Fantasia, yang menjadi tumpuan untuk pendapat yang alternatif (seperti biasa, akan diupdatekan kalau terjumpa review yang power cili padi yang lain)

Mmm...tengok memang muram sungguh ler bebudak ari ni, especially Lotter and Velvet, sampai tak nampak terdandan si Velvet ni. Yang penting tetap eyeshadow flawless ok walaupun sedih. Now that's looking good in the face of adversity for you.
Aww.. God... muka Lotter aku tengok... sampai sedih cam Rich dah ninggal. Bukan sedih dia terkeluar Akademi.
Faizal as usual no expression, Amirul sengih je walaupun dia pun horror meleleh masa konsert, Salima merapu ngan jawapan begitu diplomatic.
Er... kenapa ada private message untuk Velvet? Or more appropriately "Please tell her, that I care about her very much, please be strong etc...I care about  you tiga juta kali". Dah keluar, jangan ler nak kenenkan... it doesn't work la... not unless they showed more on the possible romantic links... kan? Kalau tak the story just isn't believable. Lagik pun kan da audio wasiat. Why the need??? Someone enlighten me.
Besides, kang tak pasal-pasal Velvet di 'hantar' jumpa Rich. Aiyo... jangan ler!!! Salima or Haziq ler jadik postman tuk pesan mesej dah ler.
Mak aih!!! Endorsement lagik! That is one heck of a humongous machine lor nak exercise on.
Erm.. World Cup related exercise by Dr. Eveready. Lotter, Velvet, Amirul di pilih dok dalam satu kumpulan (Jepun sebab mata sepet - perlu ke??? Haiyo!), Farhan, Faizal and Zila (Itali - don't know wy for real... but yeay... Farhan dan Faizal together in one group) and Salima, Haziq and Diddy (Brazil - also don't know why.. but kesian si Diddy). Cat muka katanya...
Merasalah comot gila muka Velvet dikerjakan teammates dia. Cam pakai bedak sejuk pastu di pukul kat molot sampai berdarah. Amirul lak nampak cam puppy doq with one spot on his eye... Salima and Haziq looked like corpses... merasalah!
Lotter cam muka kena ripped in half!
Tutsal katanya... erm. Pakai lutut?
Er.. kenapa panggil Hazama? As important as celebrating Tasha punya birthday masa konsert lepas. Cmon ler... those kids were eliminated takyah ler expose them more to the public eye giving them more hope through the public attention. Hish...
Tak sesuai tengok Salima join berebut bola ok with the rest of the guys.
Pastu injured la katanya.... tapi gelak tengok Velvet tarik Salima kuar sambil buat effect ambulance.
Aiyak... abih Diari pertama tribute to Rich punya montage, tunjuk si Velvet lap air mata. Erm... mintak-mintak ler tak dihantar kuar bersama ler.. ish ish ish...
Second started with scenes of Rich dan Velvet tengok bola kat Hartamas Square kat match Brazil versus Australia.
Masa jumpa kat ruang tunggu Akademi, Velvet dan Rich biasa je... erm.. takde pun excited ke haper. Tapi yer yer lak kesedihan sebelum. Drama queen lebih lah bebudak ni. Bebudak ni chauffered with all this attention... mesti ada yang geram kalao gi sana tuk tengok match terpaksa give way to the whole production.
Sudahpun agak... Rich pilih velvet sebab nak elak bebudak lelaki lain jeles, and I think it was a pretty good move.
Diddy lak cedera masa mandi... tapi again... lawak dia lagik.
Pandai mereka bagi new toy in the exercise machine so that Kevin Zahri can avoid from saying carbs... not like it matters sebab aku segera turunkan volume as he showed the kids how to use the machines.
Comments and all later... erm.. Ramli Sarip siapurut tangan Faizal yang lenguh time tengah review the kids' performance.
Lagu tugasan... Zila aiyo... pronounce it right la..
Aku suka part Ramli Sarip bagitau the results of the AFUNDI sejurus tutupnya undian... at least these kids know where they really stand. Cam Farhan, I hope she's more excited about her show from now on, sebab no matter what, as long as she performs good and convinces people, I know she'll stay on for much longer.
Muka Salima lak masa dengar dia second last... dah ler tepong komak... tambah agik pucat ala horror, though she tried to keep this blank expression.
Ni senarai lagu untuk minggu ni.
Aku suka almost all the selections sebab minggu ni nampak ler meka ni akan mula tercabar dengan genre tugasan different from what each person is used to. Tapi motif ada dua lagu Ramli Sarip?
Mmm... really...

Zila - These Boots Are Made For Walking (Nancy Sinatra/Jessica Simpson)
Amirul - Khatulistiwa (Blues Gang)
Faizal - Wo! (Zahid)
Farhan - Tak Ingin Lagi (Misha Omar)
Diddy - Nusantara (Kembara)
Salima - Senandung Hidup Berbudi (Ramli Sarip)
Velvet - Dikir Puteri (Noraniza Idris)
Lotter - Bertemasya Desa Gemalai (Ramli Sarip)
Haziq - Buat Sang Puteri (Spider)

By the way, mengenai serangan ke atas blog aku, atas nasihat ahli keluarga, aku sudahpun membuat keputusan mendiamkan diri. Tapi ini tidak bermaksud aku mengalah, kerana bak kata Vince, "tiada pengalah". Matilah...
Apapun, so be it... if someone gets their kicks in being abusive, more power to you... I'm sure your mother is really proud of you.
Soal aku bergaduh ngan  seseorang, all I can say is, based on advice to make peace, so be it too. I can't do anything if someone chooses to be immature, and in fact, I pity that person. Terpulang ler... bila ko nak mula bertanggungjawab atas perangai dan kelakuan ko. Aku tak maapkan ko atas apa ko buat, tapi sebab hormat orang lain yang dok tengah terluka atas peperangan ko nak, demi menjaga kepentingan peribadi, aku mendiamkan diri... for now.
We can never be friends, and I hope one day you learn just what you did is wrong.
Anyway, like I said, I'm off to Singapore for work and hopefully some shopping... be back on Friday. Check out links kat atas untuk tetap mengikuti ulasan dan carutan Diari...
By the way, aku nak thank someone yang aku rasa has been there, and the other for his motivational words.
Thanks to that special SOMEONE (you know who you are... I'm going to miss you for these next few days... take care ok *hugs*)
And also... jeng jeng jeng.. tima kasih pada Dr. Eveready @ Dr. Fazley for messaging me, and voicing your support and concern. You rock dude... walaupun kekadang aku tertido tengok motivasi ko *matilah aku mencarut depan-depan*
You remember that being cool is not being different or definable, but about being true to YOURSELF which you are as far as I'm concerned, what you are... rock ok!

Semalam blog aku kena serang.... mmm.. entah siapa kan?
Takpelah... try discouraging me some more.
Ada kejutan nanti.
Apapun... wait for more news on that. To that coward, dahler pakai nama ntah haper nak carut aku konon... apa ko merapu tu? Really.. so desperate ke nak kutuk aku? Sampai main hentam je... dahler terpaksa pakai berbagai nick?
Perlu ke?
Moving on... cause aku takkan ngalah pada bangsa binatang yang masuk rumah orang perasan nak wat hal (yes, I left your comments for the world to see just how stupid you sound trying to piss on me)...
About the concert earlier today... not in the mood to praise anything, but don't want to be super-critical as well.
To be fair, let's start with the overwhelming negative.
Semalam punya tarian Menuju Puncak was simply the worst in comparison ngan musim-musim sebelumnya.
I mean, check this out... sampai peringkat minggu ketiga, kalau dilihat pada musim Akademi Fantasia yang lain... even Mawi was able to dance by then.
Ni takyah kata Faizal kongkang.. semua pon camtuh. It looked like a Sunday stroll with a really sensitive boil kat celah punggung, the way they danced.
Kesian tul si Linda dan Corrie, pas show jumpa, tension bebetul sekor-sekor nih.
Tak bersungguh langsung nak membuat yang terbaik. Cam tak penting langsung pada mereka Menuju Puncak ni.
Mentang-mentang undian da tutup masuk Menuju Puncak, mereka ni ingat, tak ada keperluan untuk mereka do their best... so they can just such big time.
It's not so much about votes, but more of the tradition of the past seasons of Akademi Fantasia where it has always been treated with religious fervour. Tapi untuk bebudak ni, aku rasa meka tak paham langsung how important it is for them to do it nice. Oh well...
Moving on to the concert, aku straight to the shows jer la ek.
By the way, the whole cake scene was a waste of time... motif nak celebrate birthday Tasha? I mean.. it's nice and all... but buang masa je on air.Dahler masuk si Awie jadian tuh! Si Shkandar tak silap aku nama dia... mamat yang gagal ujibakat Akademi Fantasia pastu jadi pak pacak semua program Astro. Weird!

Salima - Obsesi (Juliana Banos)
With a draped vest thingie ala crochet knit tablecloth, Salima played cowgirl. I don't know about everyone else, tapi aku terus terbayang iklan OSIM Gallop tu... yang iklan korang senonoh tuh, orang dok tunggang benda ala yang urut bontot dan peha tuh.
Well, first the positive. She was better than Juliana Banos. That's a compliment if you can take it that way.
Deja was spot on her vocal weaknesses yang nampaknya tak diperbetulkan gak dari sebelum-sebelum ni, while M. Rajoli cam buang masa je ada sana. Adlin was also spot on with mentions on the wardrobe (everyone's fave topic skang) and lack of energy from Salima.
Erm... pas nyanyi... scene ala Mas, tapi bukan bak anak, tapi nak adik Salima.
Bak kata chatters kat msjbox aku, kesian tengok adik Salima rindu kakak dia. Mari kita ketemukan Salima ngan adik tersayangnya, dan jangan pisahkan mereka for even one second more... kita keluarkan je Salima ler minggu depan ek.
Rating klubbkidd :

Amirul - Yesterday (The Beatles)
Walaupun ramai tension ngan Amirul sebab sentiment, but I think he was indeed better than suited to the song. HOWEVER, there was little use of dynamics and he just sort of rushed through the song. Too simple. No improvisation. No lenggok ker haper ker... takde kreativiti langsung.
M. Rajoli still merepek, but suddenly made a good mention on stage performance. Memang si Amirul tu ketara pejam mata (ke dia bukak tapi kita ingatdia pejam?) throughout the song.
Lawak bodoh dari kengkawan... Astro nak bak The Beatles ke sebagai kejutan?
Erm... leh ker ada yang lawat dari kubur ni... lain jer!
Rating klubbkidd :

Rich - Mustika (M.Nasir)
Why lah?? Start aja da salah lirik! Rich still hasn't learned at all for me, or very little at least.
Dia masih dengan his old ways, and nampaknya sikit sangat yang di ajar tenaga pengajar yang menyerap dalam persembahan dia.
I think the same comment was used in the last two weeks, so malas nak elaborate.
M. Rajoli kenapa???!!! Lidah Melayu?? Erm..
Rating klubbkidd :  

Zila- Tak Tercapai Akalmu (Elyana)
Kesian kan si Zila... mana taknya pakai t-shirt pagoda... walaupun luarannya glitters belaka. Dahler baju lampu lip lap mapal haprak tu...very the busuk.
Erm...
I think she did ook overall, but like a lot of the kids, Zila pun bab lagu rancak sikit jer tak bermaya, and extremely lacklustre.
Like Adlin pointed out, she is quite forgettable... and I think she has to work on projecting her personality and character more through her performance supaya lebih berkesan persembahannya.
Rating klubbkidd :  

Farhan - Still Got The Blues (Gary Moore)
Malas komen lebih. One word. FANTASTIC! And I think Malaysia agrees! Judging by the votes.... hope Farhan keeps it up as she is THE MOST consistent performer setakat ini.
Rating klubbkidd :  

Haziq - Cinta Nusantara (Sheqal)
Tak ada apa yang menarik, persembahan biasa, vokal pun biasa... erm... yang luarbiasa tuh camna dia masih leh bertahan.
Seperti mana minggu lepas, sampai ada satu part, mesti terbabas!
And it was a sense of deja vu, because repeat performance.
Erm.. M. Rajoli muda ek.. sesuai!
Rating klubbkidd :

Lotter - Iris (Awie)
Aiks!
CD lompat ke? Hah... tu ler akibat burn CD murah!
It was a weird and rocky start for the music, and also Lotter. As the song progressed it became better, tapi aku rasa cam missing something je.
I don't know, I think Lotter can be a serious performer if he wants to, cuma mungkin somehow the whole feel hari ni spoil sebab muzik yang aku rasa memang tak kena.
Vocally I see an improvement, tapi memang first verse tu ala Titanic karam tak hengat!
Rating klubbkidd :

Velvet - Teman Tapi Mesra (Ratu)
She started out WAY too low, and like a friend commented, it may have something to do with the fact that it was the music to blame (Sham Kamikaze sila jawab)
The intro to the song was too horrible, tak sanggup aku dengar, walaupun hype memula nak enjoy the song.
Got distracted by penari backing yang pakai seluar berkilat ala beg plastik sampah itam.
It didn't help.
Velvet tried to pick things up and let loose her vocals, only this time it didn't work. Memang it salvaged a little of the show, but I thought it was definitely her worse in three weeks. Let's hope she performs lebih elok minggu akan datang ni and Malaysia keeps her in because she is one of the best vocalists in the show.
Just hope dia takkan terlalu confident lagi lain kali kalao pada awal konsert dia at the top, because I think overconfidence was a huge contributor to the bad show.
Rating klubbkidd :   

Diddy - Memori Luka (Headwind)
The strength of the song, kekuatan melodi and all, saved Diddy this time. Tapi to be fair, Diddy banyak improve. Aku rasa antara semua pelajar, dia lah yang paling mendadak perkembangan dalam tiga minggu.
Better vocal control, takder Hunchback of Notre Dame lagik... and he looks less intense, walaupun kekadang masaalah penghayatan tu tetap ada. And oh, tak lupa last part pon ada ler erm.. Karam Singh Walia sikit (teringat pergerakan tangan Haziq bila sebut Karam nih)
Promising show from Diddy, dan harapnya minggu ni dia akan memberikan one more great performance so the audience will keep him in longer.
One of the better male students in this concert.
Rating klubbkidd :   

Faizal - Blues Terengganu Kita (Iklim)
Aku really think Faizal wasn't all that impressive.
Like Velvet, aku rasa Faizal sudah terlalu yakin dan selesa dengan kedudukannya yang sering diatas bersama Lotter.
Antara semua, aku rasa Faizal has the most natural showmanship and impressive vocals (kalau banding yang lain), but it's nothing really to shout for kalao dia stop working at this stage and tak progress as a singer, performer and entertainer.
Memang jauh perjalanan Faizal ni, tapi jangan awal-awal terlalu bersahaja hanya kerana fan power.
Dari awal kata suara dia cam Saleem, and I think it was nice to see him duet with Saleem. As for Adlin punya komen? Malas nakl komen on that... hak memasing.
I belive Adlin had good intentions to say that.. but hey... who am I to say.
Rating klubbkidd :

Kalau sebelum ni aku selalu bagi keputusan undian sebelum dan selepas konsert, kali ni aku akan memberikan hanya the vote count at the end of the concert.
Simply because aku rasa the keputusan undian pada awal konsert dah tak penting, sebab tidak memberikan sebarang indication of what will happen unlike previous seasons.
But cukup ler nak kata Velvet dok paling atas dan Farhan paling bawah.
And the final results? This is it. Farhan amazing.. and rewarded! Salima da mula nampak her real spot deserved for her performance... cuma Haziq jer tak puas ati sikit. Tapi you win some you lose some la kan...Esok... seperti biasa... pada mereka yang regular...tau apa akan datang kan. Dan juga hasil kata putus dari streamyx and more on the case of the abusive comment/tagger yang menyerang blog aku.
By the  way, aku takkan delet comment-comment itu kerana those comments are proof of how pathetic some people's mentality is at. Have a good day guys...
PS. Update pics esok ler ek...

Keputusan undian pada penghujung Konsert Akademi Fantasia minggu ketiga
1. Farhan - 19%
2. Faizal - 11%
