First thing I would like to start off with with posting delayed ari ni is pengumuman.
Pada mereka yang sama risaukan keadaan mama Zahid yang warded for an operation hari tu, you'll be glad to know that mama ari ni dah pun discharged.
Aku call Zahid dalam 3.30 petang tadi and asked him about mama.
Dia pun cam happy dan lega mama ok, so thank you everyone for your prayers for mama ok.
By the way, Zahid masih kat kampung sampai ujung minggu. Masa call, dia kata tengah sibuk memancing! Aiyo... merasalah kena laser, mancing ok tapi jangan lak antar ikan kul 6 pagi.
Oops!!!!
Kan mintak kena carut... "kat kampung ni nak antar ikan kat sana wei".
Gelak gak aku ari ni selepas suasana suram menyelebungi hari-hari aku beberapa hari ni.
It's been slightly traumatic. Late yesterday night, I finally made a decision. Aku SMS 'dia' dan memberitahu yang I'm just backing off, tapi kalau dia nak sorang kawan for anything at all, I'm just a call or SMS away.
No reply.
Well... whatever ler kan... in matters of love, everyone is selfish. Everyone thinks about themselves. And maybe it's my time to think about MYSELF.
Tarik nafas sikit.

Ok... aku semalam tak sempat update pasal Rockstar : Supernova, but I think I don't really need to delve too much into the details of it since elimination dah pun ari ni.
Padan muka kerek Josh yang beriya-iya walked off with Nirvana's Come As You Are. For some reason he reminds me of Haziq. He actually managed to turn the tune into this southern blues funk attempt. What the.... he sucked big time for me. Merasalah Dave kata "Just remember that these guys are going to be playing at Wembley Stadium and not at a coffeehouse."
Laser gak si Dave ni... in the words of Fiebie, "Aku suka... aku suka... aku suka" sambil maniacally tepuk tanga,
Lukas may have got stuck with The Rolling Stone's Let's Spend The Night Together and it was the BEST show for the night.
Second best, was my prsonal favourite (though perhaps for the night's show it didn't come across on TV) was Dilana with The Cranberries' Zombie.
Patrice and Jill were ok walaupun they fought over The Beatles's Helter Skelter with the. Jill had to do Free's All Right Now, which I thought was more suitable for the female rockers, so there was really no need for the drama masa pilihan lagu. But they did decent, better than the previous weeks. As did Storm who was ok too with Just What I Needed from The Cars
Ryan aka Mr Bean sucked with Credence Clear Water Revival's Fortunate Son. Bottomline - he looks boring, he sounds boring. When is HE going to be eliminated. And what's with that smile??? He looked constipated.
Apart from Ryan and Josh, the other overall did quite well this week. Oh wait a minute. I missed Dana. Ok... she was THE worst for the night. She did a simpler poppier It's My Life by Bon Jovi, and as Tommy put it, she looked more like Celine Dion (with really bad vocals) attempting a Bon Jovi impersonation.
Phil had Jason Newsted along on the show, and kept the pace with Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit.
Toby didn't too well with Soul Asylum's Runaway Train, but I kind of liked the improvisation and the new take he had for it. Magni performed one of my favourites in Plush by Stone Temple Pilots and did it as good as Scott Weiland, which actually raises a fear on the question of originality.
Zayra, the worst vocalist in the competition, actually did quite decent with R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts. Jenny's Drive was ho hum.
I didn't really care sapa kuar, as long as it wasn't Dilana or Lukas of course.
Bottom three were Josh, Jenny and Dana yang memasing performed the elimination numbers in Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box (rosak a good tune je), Vaseline by Stone Temple Pilots and Sass Jordan's High Road Easy before it was bye bye Jenny.
You will not be missed.
Watched the repeat of the show just to catch Dilana and Lukas again... then teringat Faizal wat Nirvana's Smell Like Teen Spirit, one of the cult rock tunes of my generation.
Tergelak sat, because the song seems doomed to be a poser's anthem.
Which brings us to Diari Akademi Fantasia semalam. Ok... honestly I missed the first episode, and I only managed to catch the second Diari masa time repeat tengah malam.
I really don't understand the need for the producers nak bak Lotter to come back as 'a voice'.
"Ko nangis ek," tanya Faizal masa Lotter terdiam sat. Instead of feeling emotion, aku tergelak pecah perut lak sebab dia ni cam so blur. And he had to kind of be led into understanding, that ni ler time nak sedih gituh.
It was induced tears, and as real as the freindship is (aku percaya ler bab persahabatan meka), Faizal was just hamming it up, tau ada kamera nak nitis air mata. Aduh... come on ler. You guys really think dia tatau ke benda ni kalao emo lebih akan di pakai sebagai VT time Konsert ke. It' amazing to think ada lagik orang yang senang nak di manipulasikan ngan adengan seperti ini. Pening...
When they repeat that Diari, tengok bebetul. Yang tersentuh samaada terlampau sensitif, ataupun just desperate for drama like the production, atau just wanted ANYTHING to break the monotony.
And if you didn't fall into any one of those categories, the only way ko leh rasa benda tuh touching is if ko tengah sibuk merembes ngan Faizal sampai sanggup nitis air mata kerana aksi seorang lelaki sensitif. Boo!!!
Some people would have thought the whole thing showed an innocent side to Faizal.
Look deeper and you would see he does comee across retarded at time. Time dia ketuk speaker, he looked mental and playing with an imaginary friend. Aduh... I don't think I laughed so much for so long now.
Lawak babs sangat!
It was just plain silly of them to go all the way hanya kerana nak perah airmata penonton.
Lotter is out. Dahlah.... focus on sapa dalam. Tu je.
Adakah semua drama tu menolong pembelajaran mereka? I don't think so.
It was funnier to see Faizal ala Forrest Gump lari panggil bebudak, pastu sora Lotter ilang, si Haziq sempat tergelak kat Faizal.
The laughs continued with Faizal punya rehearsal ngan Linda Jasmine nak headbang. Aiyo...dia ni... takde coordination of his limbs at all ke.
Headbang pun tak mampu ke? Dia nampak pelik semacam, in a semi bobbing motion, cam some psychotic joget tak jadik.
Haziq simple step lak tak dapat emulate Linda Jasmine tunjuk step, tapi bab top Linda turun sikit and dia kelam kabut tarik, sempat lak si Haziq focus.
What do I think Haziq looked like?
Honestly? Cam the saddest stripper in the cheapest act in the dingiest, seediest bar in Patpong.
Elok ler pastu Haziq tido.
Eh da lama Jamal pengawas sekolah ilang kan, tak enter frame. Jangan risau, confirm muncul punya, hah, tuh dia.
Masa time surprise tamu, aku nak gelak.
The kids obviously tak heran, tak kenal ataupun tak kisah Tiara Jacquelina dan Stephen Rahman Hughes masuk. You think these kids went to watch Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical ke?
Things got simply surreal with Stephen sebab bebudak cam Haziq dan Faizal tengok muka pun da obvious meka haram paham apa omputeh celup tuh merepek.
What was the significance of that scene? Aku tengok Diari Akademi Fantasia ni dah sink as low as the level of Auditions dah kekadang.
Tell me just how the hell is everything liek that going to help Pejal yang nak sebut English sepatah pun haram sebut betul.
Gelak muka Haziq terblur, gelak lagi time si Haziq mata merayap  bila sebelah Tiara.
Tiara and Stephen just didn't know how to communicate with the kids, and I doubt the effectiveness of the visit apart from some cheap promotion of the upcoming restaging of the musical.
Very the torture ngan kesunyiang as Faizal would say. Let these kids have a choice, who they want advice from, bak sapa yang meka nak  ke....
Bak ler people yang dalam keadaan sama tapi advanced. I think the three champions bersama cam Vince, Zahid dan Mawi would be nice, sebab pengalaman memasing berbeza and it would be nice to see all three together.
Kalau susah sangat, bak ler finalist musim lain BERSAMA, contoh dalam musim kedua, Bob, Farah, Adam, Kaer... (Zahid da sebut, Linda lak da menghilang kan).
Let them share pengalaman time sampai perignkat competition ni, apa yang usual or unusal to go through, dan apa kehidupan meka skang.
So  many things... and yet so little ideas actually implemented.
Entahlah...
Caught the first episode of Ejen 016 semalam, and I must say it looks better on the TV sebab masa preview tengok kat big screen cam tak nampak jelas, tambah ngan sound kat tempat awam bising sikit.
Ni aku sempat tul leh focus pada the the pilot episode.
Aku gelak bab Apek ler. Seriously dia sorang enough nak jalankan show tu.
I have to admit walaupun aku uncomfortable sikit shots dia sebab execution kurang kemas and editing memeningkan bji mata aku, but the shots were quite well done for a TV production. Again like I said, very the CSI and 24.
I think there was a lot of varied influences in direction so dia punya shots narik ler.
Cuma camera work kekadang overdose sikit so it does set a little painful after a lengthy period to watch the show.
The sets nampak ler ada budget banding ngan the usual badly implemented props time siri based on fiction  on local TV ni.
Acting? The main cast were ok, but the extras were simply scary lor acting meka. Kayu tahap gaban. Kekadang rasa gak nak sumpah bila tahap lakonan meka tahap TV Pendidikan pun tak lepas menyakitkan hati sebab spouting lines like the script was stuffed in their faces.
But it was all worth it just so see the three agents keluar keta ala dramatic and then Apek lak kuar keta libas rambut. Siot je Apek... kelakar.
Check out the official website of Ejen 016, banyak gak downloads dia.
Not bad ler, first time ada ler TV series yang ala interactive. Babeng tul profile... aku baca pun pecah perut. Good move by DiGi on that bit because it does take advantage of the wholesome approach towards making the showmore appealing.
I have high hopes for the other episodes so here's hoping that the fusion of sci-fi action comedy series takes off.
Oh God... letihnya...
Is it the work related stress ke everything else that's getting to me. Tak sabar nak gi cuti.
Ke stress jadi couch potato balik.
Selain Akademi Fantasia, follow lak Rockstar : Supernova, then Ejen 016, pastu America's Next Top Model. Banyak sangat progam menarik. Lum agik Project Runway yang aku tak sempat tengok agik musim baru. So many TV shows, so little time.
Feel really tired out, rancang bulan depan nak gi Hatyai, mintak-mintak jadilah.
I really, really need a break soon.
Ok ler guys... setakat ni jer posting kali ni. Tak larat nak taip banyak sangat.

Ok. Where do I start?
Let me start dari hari Ahad ok.
Petang tu aku diajak ke suprise birthday Jimmy Shanley. Aku malu gak sebab aku ok ok ngan Jimmy, tapi aku rasa takder ler layak aku nak gelar kawan sebab bukan kami rapat sangat.
Tapi bebudak production Trek Selebriti ajak gak, so aku pun iyakan ler kehadiran aku. Seharian aku risau akan terserempak seseorang kat sana, memandangkan dia ada kat konsert malam sebelum. Bukan apa... aku memacam emosi terbuku I don't want to jumpa dia.
Awal pagi call Nana, sebab ingat leh gi ngan dia, tapi Nana kata dia keja ari ni tugas... tuh pun sebelum tu ada outdoor event ERA kul 3pm.
Mmm... tukar plan, aku ajak ler member sorang tuk temankan aku sebab tatau sapa agi akan kesana.
Sampai sana, kami terpaksa ikut entrance belakang, orang Menara Kuala Lumpur kata Jimmy dah pun sampai, so kita kena lalu dtaff entrance nak naik.
Sampai kat staff elevator tuh, jumpa Marsha dan Adi dari Maestro. Apa lagi... naik gila terus ler ada gang.
Sampai atas dalam bilik sederhana besar, ada kawan-kawan production dari Astro. Eh eh... Adi Fashla pun ada. Happy terus.
Lepas kejap, Leez lak masuk bersama ayah dia.
Besh!!!
Aku, Adi, Marsha and Leez pun lepak ler one side ngan beberapa orang kawan sok sek.
Aku korek ler sikit info pasal bebudak dalam Akademi.
Dua soalan penting aku tanya.
Satu.
Sapa yang paling plastik dalam Akademi... kira baik ataupun buruk, time dari meka kat Holiday Villa, sampai ke tahap ni di dalam Akademi.
Jawapannya tak mengejutkan aku. Walaupun kalao aku tulis kat sini mesti ramai membantah sebab orang tuh takkan disangka sedemikian.
Bukan aku pancing jawapan dari Leez. Aku cuma nak kepastian jujur darinya. And aku tak bagitau dia pun nama yang bermain dalam pala aku.
All I can say is, depan kamera, jangan ingat yang innocent, bendul tuh... adalah sedemikian sebenarnya. Lain aku no komen. Kalau nak memilih atas peribadi, ingat sahaja, peribadi sebenar bebudak ni korang takkan tahu.
Dari tiga musim Akademi Fantasia sebelum ni, aku tengok dalam-dalam, dan aku masih rapat ngan sapa yang true to themselves.
And I am thankful aku hanya sekali silap dalam tafsiran aku pasal peribadi seseorang tu.
Masuk second question lak. Pasal adakah sorang tuh gibeks (tatau maksud perkataan tuh, takper... ini relevant pada siapa yang paham je)
Again, jawapan sama ngan seperti apa yang aku bayangkan. Nama yang sama.
Kesian che ki yang akan terkesima sebab begitu idolise dia sebab ala lelaki Melayu terakhir gitu. Aku hanya mampu gelak.
Kedua soalan mendapat jawapan yang sama.
Whatever lah... sempat ler bual panjang ngan Leez gak, ditemani Marsha.
Marsha lak kena laser pasal isu orang perkatakan ngan Mawi. Aku bab tuh aku nak katakan, aku rapat ngan Marsha dari Konsert Prelude.... MENGARUT cita dia bercinta ngan Mawi. Tu je. Trust me.
Kalau mereka yang pernah ikut blog aku, atau pernah bertanyakan benda ni pada aku face to face, tahulah cerita sebenar keakraban mereka.
Suka tak pic Marsha dan Adi menggila tu?
Lepak punya lepak, Lotter lak di bawak masuk oleh Man, pemenang Resume Untuk Mawi tu, yang kini bertugas kat Maestro.
Tak sempat cakap ngan dia, time Jimmy nak masuk bilik da. So semua standby.
Alamak... jerit surprise bila pintu terbuka, tapi dia tak masuk agi. Damn..rosak kejutan.
Jimmy celebrate tak silap aku birthday dia on 13 July, aku 17 July, tapi I think he's 26 (ampun ler kalao silap) aku lak beza bukan je empat hari pada tarikh, but also empat tahun in terms of the number of birthdays.
Makan-makan, kena serang ngan bebudak Trek Selebriti yang wat recording. Damn... perlu ke. Segan. Tanak kena label seperti sparuh orang gila glam bangga muka masuk TV. Perlu ke?
Makan-makan and all, sempat ler sembang ngan Lotter.
Had to sebab budget the next day ada press conference Siti Nurhaliza aku memang tak kan ke Astro untuk elimination press conference Lotter.
Ok ler...dia down to earth and honest.
One thing I can say for Lotter is that he realises kekurangan dia, which is a good sign.
"Lagi baik saya keluar daripada duduk dalam , bang sebab saya tahu ramai tak suka saya."
Aku ngaku aku pun bukan peminat dia, and ada show dia yang hancus nak mampos.
But at the same time, aku pun puji dia wat show cam Azizah, and Chow Kit Road yang berjaya menghiburkan orang, walaupun aku tak impress.
Dia terima memacam teguran dan nasihat. Hah... pepandai ler belajar ek Lotter pasni.
Tak sabar nak belah pas everything da settle.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY.
Ni lagu besday istimew aku untuk Jimmy.

Happy birthday to you,
Ko memang kertu,
Tak mungkin lagi jambu,
Teruskan hidup sebagai andartu!!!

Pecah perut tengok reaksi Jimmy... amik ko!
By the way, gambar dia pegang telinga tuh bukan apa... bukan karaoke yang nak bagik letop gegendang telinga ok!!! Sebenarnya, Jimmy chicken siot when Lotter started popping the balloons dalam bilik. Aiseh.... tu pun seram ke Jimmy. Serves you right...ko selalu nak surprise ngan microphone ko kan. Merasalah kena torture... (gelak evil tahap Omen)
Gerak sekali ngan Marsha and Adi yang nak bergegas ke KL Sentral nak amik ticket flight untuk Felix.
Aku hantar member balik, then lepak sat kat Shah Alam ngan orang gila.
Esok nya, aku takleh ke Astro untuk PC Lotter... last-last kelam kabut seharian wat cita Siti, my column, as well as extra story pasal Saleem.
Mmmm... apa komen aku pasal Siti Nurhaliza nak kawin Datuk Khalid Mohammad Jiwa?
Selamat pengantin baru to them is all I can say.
Apa pun pandangan masyarakat, they have the right to choose  what they want to in their lives. Orang nak kata apa pasal beza umur, taste Siti dan sebagainya... honestly, I myself wouldn't want people to judge me on who I choose to spend my life with.
Siti, kalau awak baca ni seperti aku pernah singgah sini... congratulations, seikhlasnya daripada saya. Aku ngan ko penah ada salah faham, but I hope everything's ok now. And I support your decision.
Cuma aku harapkan ko jangan terus tinggalkan dunia seni.
Semoga ko dan pilihan hati bahagia selamanya.
Aku rasa orang kena hayati apa yang Siti lalui selama ni. Aku letak pantun yang di ucapkan ayah Siti masa press conference tuh, because I think ada yang tersurat dan tersirat in it.
Masing-masing faham lah apa yang patut. What I think of it, is the same as ada comment yang memberikan tafsiran dalam posting lepas. Korang usha dan renungkan.
Abih je keja da dekat kul 9 malam.
Rushed over to Nikki and Yanie's place, sebab ada small gathering of friends and 'family' to celebrate my birthday.
Full guest list?
Vernon (dia posting sini sebagai Mr. Manager), Fiebie (yang kurang waras), Juan (dah kembali blogging selepas bertapa untuk straightenkan rambut tanpa rebonding), Hatta Dolmat (member designer yang wat baju untuk Fasha Sandha dan Jac masa Anugerah Bintang Popular - ala yang cam pokok Christmas tuh), Rudy, Reza, kak long Zakiah, abang Badrul (my all in one family member), and Jolyn.
Of course, Nikki dan Yani, my baby sisters, ada sekali (siap masak ok tunjuk skill!!!) and a surprise guest in Diddy!!! (tima kasih abang Badrul sebab bak dia)
Gambar bawah ni (from left) Nikki, Diddy, Yanie dan Hatta (feeling mata merah kena silau)

Aku sedih sebab Ning tak sempat abih shooting Diva, and call time awal lak esok, so tak join, but it was nice she called and wished me still. Zahid, my baby bro, too tak jadik mai sebab mesej aku kata mom dia warded nak kena operate, so malam tuh or next day kena rush balik.
Oh... and 'dia' ada sekali. Sebenarnya walaupun aku gembira dia ada sekali, merunsingkan aku gak kehadiran dia. Takyah sebut kenapa. Cuma cukup ler mentraumakan aku for the rest of the night and the next day.
It was a nice, simple birthday with people I love and have helped me much through life, so it made 30 a bit easier to digest.
Yang besh... hah ni nak pecah lobang.
Anugerah ERA nanti ada surprise performance (tak surprise lagik ler aku pecah lobang sini).
Ning akan di back kan by Nikki and Yanie for a new song which will be out soon exclusive on ERA. Tajuknya?
Drama!
Lagu memang lagu dance yang rancak aku full of attitude. Trust me, kita semua lak nari sakan dengar lagu tuh. Tak sabau aku nak dengar kat radio.
And then (walaupun tak dibenarkan cakap ni) dengar dua lagu baru untuk album Ning yang akan datang.
Awmigawd.... walaupun aku tengah tak tul emosi.... suddenly I was carried off by the music and Ning's vocals. If you guys love album Erti Pertemuan, ngan lagu cam Awan Yang Terpilu - you guys are going to be amazed by this album. Another album to look forward to this year selain album Siti Nurhaliza yang dah pun released, Transkripsi.
Ooh... and jangan lupa album Yanie gak... ada surprise (baca balik sapa tamu-tamu malam besday celebration aku ni and you might guess what it is)
Balik tu, aku happy campur sedih. Entah... emosi aku memang tak stabil.
Sepanjang ari tak stabil je emo aku... I don't know how to settle into being 30.
I feel like I'm ten years younger. Masa time aku jumpa bebudak sekolah rendah aku recently pun, aku rasa ler aku paling bebudak antara meka sebab aku masih cam carefree and so upbeat. Erm... maybe it's all in the mind je kot.
Anyway today was a sombre day spent gathering my thoughts.
Apapun aku kena wish ler everyone of you out there, too many to name, yang hantar aku ucapan birthday, and all your lovely messages that made things so much more easier for me to go through. Sorry I can't reply anyone sebab ramai sangat!!!
So for everyone yang wish aku (and yang tak sempat walaupun berhajat), I love you guys!!!! You guys rock!!! Thanks so much for being a part of my life, even those of you who may be strangers to me in real life.
Pada mereka yang inginkan ulasan dan carutan Akademi Fantasia aku, sorry cause the last two days aku tak sempat. Ari ni aku kembali, (hopefully) ngan lebih statement kebinatangan... aku will do my best ok!
Lagu tugasan minggu aku takkan ketinggalan post, so here it is. Lagu tugasan minggu ni.

Amirul - Jatuh (Adam AF2)
Faizal - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
Farhan - Emosi (Sheila Majid)
Haziq - I Need To Know (Marc Anthony)
Velvet - Penantian (Harmoni)
Lagu Bonus - Bila Rindu (Ruffedge)
Lagu Bonus - Aku Sudah Jatuh Cinta (Norsheila Amin)
Lagu Bonus - Cinta (Melly Goeslow & Kris Dayanti)

Komen aku?
Amirul dapat lagu yang vocal range sewaktu ngan dia iaitu Adam. Please-lah.. haiyo!!! Ramai lagik ler betina bawah umo yang ngundi dia pakai kredit/bil mak bapak.
Faizal dapat Nirvana aku tak heran. In fact, aku nak thank Astro sebab finally bagi dia dan Haziq lagu omputeh.
And on my birthday too!!!
Aku kira tu hadiah daripada Astro tuk aku ler...
But Nirvana dia leh cover dia punya vocal flaw banyak, and even lyrics. Wish it had been more challenging. Kalao nak tolong dia vocal aspect bagi rock pun, bagi ler Coldplay ke or something yang bukan lagu budak 13 tahun pun tahu. Sheesh... meka bagi lagu omputeh bagi yang cukup syarat je nak tolong. If he fails this, memang patut kena sebat je.
Farhan? I think it'll be up her alley, and after berminggu di uji, I think she deserves a song like this which is averagely up her street.
Haziq will be a laugh and that's all I can say.
Lagu Velvet susah aku nak judge sebab aku tatau (ataupun tak ingat). Nanti aku carik or tonton Diari tengok camna.
Aku tak stuju tul... tak paham asik lagu Ruffedge jadi pilihan musim Akademi Fantasia kali ni.
Lagu Aku Sudah Jatuh Cinta bakal jadi lagu joget lambat presentation ala Hari Penyampaian Hadiah cam minggu lepas ketika Saya Anak Malaysia, while Cinta akan menampilkan hanya, again, kekuatan Farhan dan Velvet, ngan Amirul vocally jauh tecicir banding ngan Haziq dan Faizal.
Oh one more thing. Malam tadi aku tengok preview tiga episod siri terbaru yang akan mula ditayangkan tonight over TV3, iaitu Ejen 016.

Cita ni aku tengok tiga siri masa preview semalam, best gak ler.Aku akan update on it as they show it, sebab tanak ler jump the gun.
First of all, the ad campaign for this show is amazing. Kelakar gak ler.
Meka kuar iklan program ni yang kelakar aku dengar, sampai ada sekolah yang nak gi camping Ulu Yam leh call pihak akhbar nak sahkan tul ke tak sebab trip meka upcoming.
Either the ad is really good, or really the saying is true that there's a you know what born every minute.
Visually, for the small screen, it's quite a breath of fresh air ler sebab bosan ngan memacam drama swasta nak layan.
Daripada shots dia, nampak influence CSI, 24 and even a bit of Baywatch (korang tengok korang pahamler bab Baywatch tuh - in slow mo lagik ok).
The plot centres pasal meteor ni. Experts from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam predict the coming of the meteor.
What's so special? Said meteor comes with legend that memang kehebatan meteor tak terkata ler nilai dia.
Bad guy steals meteor knowing of its power, pastuh a special unit (headed by Apek... aduh!) is sent to retrieve it as unknowingly pada the baddie (Mustafa Kamal yang nampak cam Amitabh Bachan lak - or DJ Dave kalao ko ingat posting aku sebelum ni) that the world is going to go ka-boom soon.
Aku tanak review lebih... korang kena la tengok sendiri.
Cast list dia impressive abih! Tapi aku punya personal favourite sebab ada Saiful Apek and Ida Nerina and Aleeza Kassim (with a new hairdo ala Natalie Imbruglia).
Ramai lagik ler... babe factor dia dapat ler five star ranking.
Pada peminat Akademi Fantasia, tunggu kemunculan Adam. Ada banyak cameo dalam siri ni so setiap episode korang betul-betul kena watch out.
Lawak tul Apek. Favourite scene aku tetap tima semua ejen kuar libas rambut, Apek lak sekali.... (gelak jatuh kerusi sat)... korang usha sendiri la.
Malam ni at 9.30pm.
Ok ler...panjang tol aku punya posting. Tomorrow posting lagik ler.
Hope korang puas entry balas dendam dua ari senyap ni.
Going to sleep now... 30 year-olds can't take the pace lasting until 4am ni...

"Berapa jauh rumah puteri
Berteman dan berkereta
Betapa susah melepaskan Siti
Macam-macam tohmahan dan sengketa"

Taruddin Ismail

So the news is out.
Sah Siti Nurhaliza dan Datuk Khalid Jiwa akan mendirikan rumahtangga.
Because of that aku banyak sangat keja nak abihkan. Teringat dulu masa wat gossip a very long time ago pasal Siti dan Datuk K gi shopping.
Masa benda ni in development, memacam aku kena layan orang kata fitnah.
What can I say?
Gossip and speculation sometimes is truth that cannot be told.
Aku akan update lebih about everything later sebab rushing sikit ni.
Nak kuar makan ngan kengkawan for my brithday and hopefully catch the Diari in the process.
Banyak nak kongsi. Semalam ada surprise birthday untuk Jimmy Shanley. Atas jemputan peribadi krew Trek Selebriti, aku pun gi ler... happy birthday Jimmy.
Dia celebrate on 13 July tak silap aku. 26 kan umo skang?
Masa kat KL Tower semalam lepak ngan Leez dan Lotter.
Banyak gak cita dicungkil. Boleh ke dikongsi? Nanti aku fikirkan.
Everything and pictures will be uploaded later tonight.
Thanks to everyone yang komen, letak mesej, SMS dan call aku untuk wish me for my birthday.
It is touching to know at times like this, that even total strangers have become like family because they share my thoughts... my life through my blog.
30... now what?

*Dapat berita kurang sedap. Mama Zahid masuk wad sebab nak operation. Doa-doa kan mama akan selamat dan sihat ok...

Malas nak tulis pepanjang sebab bila aku tulis pepanjang da halfway, PC bangang freeze lak sebab overload haper ntah (PC pun tak tahan kot banyak sangat carutan aku)
So this round aku kena wat balik, shorter sikit sebab tak larat nak buat balik sama cam before this. But then cakap je kan... last-last panjang berjela gak.
First of all, I just want to share my mood going into the concert was anything but ideal.
Again, sorry to those I have not been picking up calls. Bukan apa, I just want to be left alone. The trauma of turning 30 and all... and for those who are curious, it's not because of the 30 figure, but something kind of related... hanya 'dia' and a few close friends tahu.
Speaking of 'dia' - that was another reason for my mood swings... but no use blaming on others what comes from yourself right?
Another reason why I couldn't focus the earlier part of the night, sebab selain dari aku rasa KESEMUA persembahan pelajar-pelajar Akademi substandard to their actual potential, I spotted someone I haven't seen for some time.
'Dia' pernah hadir dalam hidup aku, and the pain just came flooding back. Lantak lah apa pun berlaku, dan apa pun dia nak katakan... SMS dalam Nokia aku tetap menjadi saksi kebenaran.
Just for that moment tengok dia, frustration, anger, disappointment... everything just came flooding back to me. Rasa nak balik je...
Sebelum aku ilang mood, on to the review sebelum commentary aku manjang nak mencarut banyak benda.
Tapi aku nak cakap satu benda lagik sebelum meneruskan carutan.
Apa hal lak si Haziq and Amirul tuh emo nangis cam haper jer tuh?
I mean fine ler sedih and all, but overdose lak nangis sampai meleleh hingus pelbagai. Tengok pic di bawah sebagai contoh.

And speaking of Amirul, somebody get him a haircut. Having long hair is fine, but his shaggy mane is ridiculous.
Dahler terpaksa layan dia punya pokok kelapa 24-7 in the Diari, ni time konsert memanjang ngadap rambut dia yang merimaskan top muka dia.
How bad is it getting? Here's a visual reference to what his hair reminds me of.

Now do you guys believe me? Well.... if that hair is supposed to be stylo... something's wrong with the fashion sense or lack thereof that goes into that. Ok.. ok... now on to the review yang lebih penting.

Lagu Bonus - Hips Don't Lie (Shakira feat. Wyclef Jean)
Simply put, dak perempuan semua above average.
Budak lelaki semua sodih!
Apa dia? Edry kata Amirul and Lotter stood out?
You got to be joking! Ok ok... aku ngaku they stood out... but for all the wrong reasons.
Siti was however more accurate noting yang meka ni tak work together as a team and everyone was just doing their own thing.
Rating klubbkidd :  (Dua bintang untuk dak pompuan punya vocals dan juga bootylicious moves dari Leez. Dak laki semua props je. Amirul dan Lotter dapat sepaket Strepsils dari aku manakala Haziq dan Faizal dapat buku teks Bahasa Inggeris Tahun 4 terbitan Fajar Bakti)

Amirul - Oh No Kamu (V.E.) 
Horrible!!!
Let this pain end now!!! Please!!!!
What else can you say about this... erm... whatever you choose to call him.
Malas... malas... malas....
Somebody teach him to sing. Where dia tak sumbang, he was flat (and the flatness conquered most parts of the song)
Dia ni kalao tak dance, takleh survive on stage.
Kena kritik pun takleh tima hakikat. Muka da toya semacam.
Siti gave the best comment.
Good thing about your performance : You look cute and many horny females (and some males) will vote you.
Bad thing about your performance : You can't sing.
Well, she did something like that ma.... tak caya dengar balik apa Siti cakap. read between the lines lah of course.
Rating klubbkidd :  (Sebab tu ler average, tak der ler like an accident but still quite a wreck. Bonus satu bintang untuk komen Adlin "KO dengan topi ko belah balik sekarang)

Farhan - Meniti Titian Usang (Search) 
Not her best performance, but vocally going technique, she did among the best for the night.
Siti was right kata tanak sentuh pasal soal penguasaan teknik vocal dia, and I agree on the part "Kecundang" tuh... memang dia kecundang.
But with that said, she did something quite miraculous with the song, though I too wish lebih ler sikit penghayatan.
Again, I know how hard it is for more R&B based singers to adapt to the minimalistic style of rock.
Yang dok kutuk dia takleh wat high note... range dia cover quite high per, cuma dia takder ler Mariah Carey.
I think it's ridiculous bab Farhan ni, orang kritikal sebab dia takleh tinggi. Lotter leh ke? Haziq tinggi ke? (tinggi sangat ler sampai dapat nama Tora) Amirul? (tu lagik teruk... range sama ngan horn keta aku je)
Even though Velvet has the advantage of higher range, pada masa yang sama, Velvet tak mampu wat lower notes.
Bab baju Farhan memang salah...pening aku tengok.
Looks like Yoda da gunakan kuasa dia influence fashion at Astro's productions in one way or another and ugliness continues to spread.
And what is up with Adlin nak komen rapuh bab ni.
Nak tegur pompuan kena 'lembut'? Kalau tak gedik tuh dia tak puas ati ke???
Seriously I think that man better change his views of women la.
So demeaning.
Siti was more accurate again in her comments. Siti jadik pengkritik tetap leh tak?
Rating klubbkidd :  (She still rocks!!!)

Faizal - Dealova (Once)
Ok...seriously, apart from lack of coordination of his limbs kan (terbukti masaalah pergerakan yang di alami oleh Faizal ketika menari), someone instil a character... any kind of character and not just a cold fish variety into this boy.
Masa dia leaning against the wall masa start, I think he matched it.
Both Faizal and the wall have the same amount of charm, charisma and personality... and perhaps... even the same ability to execute the most simplest and basic of choreography.
This is definitely not a challenging song for Faizal.
Dia lebih dari mampu kalau ikutkan range and had only minor glitches, but he lacked any real emotion.
Cam owang mabuk hoyong-hayang.
Time ngan Leez, she became a prop yang tak digunakan, and only after faizal was back alone baru nak nampak emo and feel dari Pejal ni sikit.
Edry kata meka ni kena cam badut... kena give in demands penonton. Ek???
Well dry was right on this one. Faizal memang nampak cam badut.
Siti lak kata dia ni nampak lurus. Are you sure Siti? Lurus ke bengkok sapa tau kan (gelak evil tahap maksima teringat a heart shaped sepanduk yang pink with pink glitter and a pink feather boa border tuk Faizal)
Adlin lak kata dia bagus sebab dia ada something orang lain takde. Erm... that's not a good thing tau.
Just because you have something, doesn't mean you're good. Herpes, syphillis and various STDs make that rule the exception.. apart from uncoordinated limbs lah.
Rating klubbkidd :  

Velvet - Caramu (Nikki)
Kalau Farhan didn't give her best show... Velvet gave her worst show.
Sedih aku tengok banyak sangat mistakes dia.
Lupa lirik... tak sampai notes.... semput... almost no vocal control.
Still it was a difficult song, and aku glad that at least it proves my point that Caramu is not an easy song to sing.
Baru korang tau hebat gak si Nikki leh wat lagu ni live and dance at the same time. Hopefully people give more respect to this song now, and tak anggap semua lagu dance-based ni flat cam Ezlynn punya Hi Hi Bye Bye.
Soal baju, what's up lah with that get-up?
Kan sesuai kalao dia pakai tuh masa dia wat lagu Run Baby Run?
Hish... salah konsep tahap gaban.
Faizal lak horrible gila... trust me I don't think that was disengajakan.
Surprise Zahid tu aku rasa patutnya tak start dari awal and we only have Aznil to thank for pandai cover.
As horrible as this was, Edry leh kata this was the only entertaining show so far.
One word je la nak sebut soal kredibiliti komen camtu - ELITE (we know how well they sang).
And what's up dia nak komen saiz lak... tak kena mengena kalao patutnya dia komen vocal performance.
Siti was fair, and Adlin was right about being centred, tapi kenapa si Faizal cam orang mabuk jalan tak betul tu dia tak tegur bab tuh lak? And Velvet was dancing lak tuh... pelik aku.
Rating klubbkidd : (Rasa bersalah lak samakan ngan Amirul - but this is one performance yang bad because of a difficult song je. Jangan lupa AFUNDI Velvet gak tau!)

Lotter - Chow Kit Road (Sudirman)
He started ok, but after first chorus... semput lak.
Dia teragak-agak sebab nak pastikan tak lupa lirik.
It was a decent performance with a fun, strong song, and even though I didn't think too much of his actual show, aku kena akur yang dia berjaya menghiburkan audience.
Still, is that enough once out in the real world?
He didn't do that bad... and he was not the worst, whether by the night's performance or overall, and he didn't deserve to go as much as compared to Haziq.
Rating klubbkidd :  (Satu bintang bonus untuk komen Adlin " Ko boleh balik sekarang".) By the way korang notice tak Adlin kata kan, "Ko boleh balik sekarang, dan balik final nanti"? Amik ko... memang Lotter balik... dan akan balik masa final... as a member of the audience (gelak evil part two)

Haziq - Tak Seindah Wajah (Tan Sri S.M Salim)
First thing kena cakap.
Aku meluat ngan 'kejutan' iklan yang promo Haziq... nampak ada agenda je nak promosi Haziq ni.
Tapi sebab pakai Aiman, 'anak buah' iklan tu jadik funny lak. Tambah agik sora dia is the voice talent of abang Badrul, aku happy gak ler. Lawat ler blog dia yang cita pengalaman tuh.
After that I just fell asleep attempting to follow Haziq's performance.
'Terjaga' time comments and stuju ngan Siti again on the fact that the Akademi is not for him.
Even Edry kata walaupun noble dia ni nak maintain aslin throughout (merasalah carutan sebenarnya) the show was not for Haziq.
Rating klubbkidd :   

Leez - Ku Gembira Disampingmu (Khatijah Ibrahim)
She was ok, but the song was just so unchallenging. Takyah komen lebih, but I don't see how seminggu di Akademi membantu dia sebab sama je ngan masa dia perform kat Konsert Prelude.
Kesian dok dalam tu jadik mangsa fantasi Haziq je.
Well, at least dapat ler barang sponsor kan, Leez?
Rating klubbkidd :   

Lagu Bonus - Lemas (Ruffedge)
Huh???
Buang masa je lagu ni, harmoni tak wujud... apa gunanya?
Everyone was just... average.
Boring.
Rating klubbkidd :   

Lagu Bonus - Saya Anak Malaysia (Dr. Sam)
Some songs shouldn't be performed for competition.
Kalau nak sangat wat lagu ni, perform ler time Konsert Reunion Akademi Fantasia masa Merdeka ke... or any other occasion.
I think it was not an intelligent performance.
Baik wat lagu Gali Lubang dari Salih Yaacob.
Rating klubbkidd :   (Kalau nak bagi more than one star, hanya kalao ini persembahan Hari Penyampaian Hadiah  Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Kampung Pelir Hitam - that is a real place in Sarawak ok)

Malas nak komen lebih.
This concert was just boring.
Too difficult choice of songs for the girls, being too far out of the comfort zone pelajar perempuan, manakala bebudak laki tuh semua di manjakan je.
Aku tak kisah...
Faizal better get an English song, and a dance one at that, while Haziq better get an R&B lagu, preferbaly English too.
Sebab tu dua lagu leh membunuh yang meka memang kena buktikan mampu.
Kalao tak, ini membuktikan Akademi Fantasia biased dan seolah mempunyai agenda tanak exploit the weakness of these two students padahal pelajar lain da kena macam-macam!!!
One more thing, what is wrong with Adlin!!!
First pasal komen dia pasal Farhan, kata kena lembut ler haper ler. That is already so chavinistic of him to try and pigeonhole perempuan dalam kategori stereotype.
Then the worst was komen dia pada Leez, that she takyah wat album and that she can become his secreatary.
SEXIST!!!
Adlin Aman Ramlie is officially a chauvinistic male oinker!
First nak offend bab penagih... now women?
Molot main lepas satu hal... to be downright mean is another.
Dia lahir camna lak nak hina kaum hawa nih. Hish....
Ok ler... malas royan agik... dah kul berapa ni.
Korang check out these links below for some interesting reviews.

Mula-mula aku nak buat entry lawak bangang sebangang nyanyian Haziq, Amirul dan Lotter @ The Three Stooges.
Tapi selepas the two episodes of the Diari, aku rasa nak gak wat entry molot poaka.
Aku ada beberapa soalan tuk korang fikirkan... tuk renungkan.
Semalam punya Diari, kesinambungan dari the whole week really, is the culmination of the 'telenovela Teman Tapi Mesra'.
Tolonglah... dah ler nyampah because adakah agenda Akademi ni tuk focuskan pada percintaan?
Ada kah keputusan undian awam yang sememangnya akan lebih pada cita seolah tuh perlu nak di engineered kan oleh pihak Astro?
That is just so lame... no wonder ler kena kutuk camna pun sebab serap Leez, Astro tetap maintain mungkin kehadiran Leez akan 'menghidupkan' Akademi. Bak cita cinta kononnya.
Well, senang je.
Kalau betul ler cinta cinta pelbagai tuh... kenapa Astro tak bagitau orang awam yang si Leez ni dah berpunya, da ada teman laki?
Bukan ke Leez ni 'mesra' ngan Boy dari Esdeco...? Alah... group Adam yang tak jadik tuh.
Pepandai lak ek nak guide skrip sepanjang minggu. Kalau ada yang nak katakan benda tuh tak skrip kan, meka terpaksa ngaku benda ni sedikit sebanyak telah di guide kan direction ngan pelbagai trigger.
Cuba tengok masa Dr Eveready cakap ngan Haziq tuh tanya pasai Leez. Not guided?
Seriously. People seem to have forgotten what Akademi Fantasia was initially all about.
Contoh, Diari ari ni, kedua laporan. Berapa banyak tunjukkan bebudak ni berlatih atau perform. I have no idea apa prestasi meka selepas minggu yang bercelaru dan kelam kabut sebab nothing was shown tonight.
90% fokus pada cita cinta ampeh tuh!
Adakah ni digambarkan as entertaining?
Programming da kebulur ek nak rating sampai wat gimik buruk camni.
Jangan ler terkejut kalao minggu ni, dalam konsert esok, kerana ada ler yang suka cita-cita cinta buatan ni, ada lak yang akan perjuangkan idea membuat kejutan dan serapkan Leez dalam Akademi.
Picture this possibility.
Tiada penyingkiran esok, Leez diserapkan. Ini konsert ketujuh.
Two more weeks to go to the final, singkir dua agik and they have top five.
Singkir lebih ke kurang ke... janji they're playing with more or less the same figure for the final.
Sebab the final will be anything from a minimum of three people (nak wat duit ma... so takleh ler kurang orang sangat) to a maximum of six (ramai sangat pecah undi tak untung lak SMS)
Paling tidak, kalau itu tidak berlaku, orang tak nyampah sangat si Haziq tuh kan... ada ler harapan ler contestant laki dari Semenanjung selain Faizal kan? Sebab kalao stakat Lotter dan Amirul, dominasi peserta laki dari Semenanjung tergugat because the numbers are too even and we all know AFUNDI dari East Malaysia is bigger.
Bangap ler...
Bukan nitik beratkan sapa kuar tuh talented ke tak. It all ends up to hype. And what happens?
Sheesh...
Cita cinta? Setakat ni memacam pasangan Akademi Fantasia meka cuba create and only Rosma and Khai yang jadi. Look at Felix dan Akma. Dah takder pun, tetap masa konsert mingguan meka nak kenenkan.
Cmon ler... selain menjadikan bebudak tu reluctant participants, you are cheating the audience. You are creating this huge lie, just cause nak untung.
Selepas meroyan... tarik nafas... aku tetap geram.
Dahler. Aku mintak kalau esok, Velvet jadi mangsa, biar Farhan ikut sekali.
Puaskan Astro dapat duit kaya-kaya, tapi hasil result yang kuar the three stooges.
Kita tunggu dan lihat nama Akademi Fantasia masa tu.
What a joke.
I don't believe the whole two episodes of Diari ari ni tak focus singing or performance but more to every other non-important element.
Hasilnya?
Kita dapat tengok betapa hebatnya Faizal lepas satu minggu baru dapat satu ayat in English. Woo-hoo!!! What joy! What an achievement! What a cause for celebration!
Isn't it great we get to see Lotter dapat sebut perkataan ngan huruf R di mana Faizal masih terlebih.
Meluat aku ngan airmata yang di provoke tu get a feel of the couple konon meka ni item, from kelas Umi punya performance, to Fazley's  pesanan segment. Ridiculous.
The only thing worth watching for two seconds was seeing the whole Akademi LOOKING FOR PUSSY! (bab ni obvious ler si Haziq palin rajin, and definitely not the most subtle - sempat gelak dalam tension)
The fun was over when it turned to be Cat Farish sebagai tamu.
Selain cita cinta dua ekor ni, daripada Diari beberapa ari ni, as well as today, I think they're trying to show Faizal as the third person. Konon cinta tiga segi Leez minat Pejal, tapi Haziq minat Leez ler.
Hurmphh!!!
Scene dramatic Faizal kena pegang tangan Leez memang ler dia takleh feel. Kan Faizal sendiri cakap.... dia tak biasa ngan pompuang!
Merasalah sesuatu tahap cipan. Che ki gersang je akan pecaya dia ni dinch adik-adik.
So many scenes showing how great the Akademi is working on the kids. Contoh bab etiquette. Lotter time makan molot penoh tersumbat pun cakap ngan camera. That's as refined as he gets, ok.
Nyampah... nyampah... nyampah...
Tatau ler camna meka perform esok... ker horror sangat sampai editing terpaksa wat cita ni takut orang nyampah tanak tengok konsert. Tell me when meka tak penah tunjuk evaluation session time ari Jumaat.
Dahler....
The only good thing I can say is Lotter carut pun leh tahan.
Suka lak time last dia carut Adlin ngan tiru gaya ketika mengkritik.
Everything else?
A friggin' waste of time.

Sorry to all my friends yang call dan aku tak jawab these few days. I really don't feel like talking sebab am goin' through a little depression. Sorry guys... but need time to be alone. Hope all of you understand.

What better way to start the day than with Rockstar : Supernova punya results show.
At least gets me in the mood for what I have to deal in watching the Diari Akademi Fantasia first report for the day.
Yeay.... Lukas dan Dilana selamat agi.
Finally Zayra kena gak masuk bottom three, seriously she sucks big time. It's definite by a unanmous decision that she's the worst singer in the group, and even the house band acknowleged that in the reality episode.
Tapi dia safe AGAIN, though she 'didn't get me' with The Kinks. Seriously I think she doesn't even get rock.
Jill? I kind of like her though agreeably the Courtney Love wanna act wasn;t the best act from her.
Chris, kesian je.... I mean he's not the best, but if lemons like Zayra and Ryan can stick around, you got to wonder as well.
If Could Only See didn't get the rock vibes going even though Supernova had questioned his authenticity onstage.
Tapi acoustic sedap gak, just felt it was a little boyband... something Phil would have done with his little shiver-swagger motions. Yuck!
Still, quite a few people bring it on tapi I think it's still quite early, until you cut the number by about hald before you realise who actually understand what rock is.
One of the main reasons I watch Rockstar : Supernova is because of the fantastic fashion courtesy of designs from Danny Moloshok.
Memang besh gila baju dia. Some of it is too risque, tapi aku rasa at least it captures the essential spirit of rock.
Korang ingat balik tiap kali pelajar Akademi dapat lagu rock apa pakaian meka. Eeww!!!
A check on the website credits Chip and Pepper Jeans, Converse (didn't they sponsor the Akademi as well... tapi kasut yang dapat cam BM2000 jer...), JL Jewelers, Luxotica Eyewear and Vans. Tapi memang salute ler sapa heading their wardrobe sebab direction memang lawa gila to assemble the look for the contestants.
Erm... ok ler...about Diari hari ni. Aku nak positif sikit ler sebab satu musim aku negatif sangat kan, asik point out the bad stuff je (nak wat pe, tu yang lebih nampak)
So here's my positive observations dari kedua laporan Diari Akademi Fantasia ari ni.  

My 15 POSITIVE observation points of Diari Akademi Fantasia today

1. Diari bermula ari ni ngan aku simpati untuk Faizal. Kejamnya para tenaga pengajar Akademi kannnnnn.
"Tatau susah begini", ngadu Faizal. Nitis air mata aku dengar dia cakap camtuh ngan Umi. Yerlah... he works oh soooooo hard, and has improved sooooo much that they really should give him a break.

2. Kesian lak semua tension, termasuk Leez. Takper la Leez, take comfort in the fact that you are going out this week, irregardless of whatever you do.

3. Oooo...aku rasa begitu bersalah sebab selama ni kritik Faizal blur ler... jalan dan nari kongkang.
Masa sesi luahkan perasaan dia kata dia penah jatuh telaga. Doesn't that explain a lot?
I bet it's more than a bump on the head.

4. Begitu bagus nya pelajar-pelajar Akademi Fantasia kali ni.
Masa Umi mintak meka baring, ala ala meditation gitu (very the new age Umi - I love her no matter what), bebudak ni leh TIDUR!
Pandai meka improvise kan???!!!! ... kita sabar je dan harap they can do as well during their performances.

5. Oooh... Pejal penah mai KL gi Chow Kit beli perfume ek? He must smell good then cause that is like THE capital of scents extraodinaire (and all so desirable... the vehicle fumes, blocked drains, assorted body odours, piles of varioud kind of garbage). Jangan lak korang pikir dia sesuatuh walaupun dok sana member mai 'jemput'.

6. Lotter da berjaya kurang 5 desibel bunyi kunyahan ketika makan. Microphone dipakaikan yang kuatkan bunyinya tau!!!

7. Lotter ni jenis sensitif. Kena marah ngan Ajai sebab tak mampu hafal lirik begitu banyak dan susah untuk lagu Chow Kit Road, terus dia membawa diri. Kesian dia kan?

8. Farhan suka nak tayang kan???... dia ni fake dan show off. Just because dia leh bak lagu rock doesn't mean she's good. After all, she's only done, rap, R&B, soul, blues, pop and ballads.
Who does she think she is?
Haziq leh asli! Faizal leh impersonate Mr Bean! Lotter leh sengau! Amirul leh nari!

9. Kejam kan si Leez sebab layan tak layan je si Haziq tu. Dah he's practically making the effort to come across as a sex pervert yang tak penah nampak pompuan... Leez tak appreciate langsung! Memang kena sangat kan Haziq usik dia berlagak...

10. Ajai memang betul bila dia kata Lotter talented. Sapa kata Lotter lari pitching. Dia bersiul masuk pitch pe! In fact, korang jaga, silap silap nanti satu konsert dia wa tuh je tuk buktikan.

11. Korang tak baik kutuk Pejal sebab kurang fasih bahasa Inggeris.
Tengok dia rap untuk part Zahid dalam lagu Caramu.. walaupun dalam bahasa Melayu... walaupun erm... dia tak sebut betul 100% and takde tempo kelam kabut sikit.
Kan bagus tu!!!....kalao korang kata tak sedap, korang buta seni, buta hati, buta puting...segalanya lah!

12. Bukan salah Astro atau team produksi Akademi Fantasia banyak tampilkan sponsor. Dah bebudak nak promote Gardenia ari ni.

13. Lembab kata korang pasal Pejal? Tengok betapa hebat keadaan fizikal dia  ketika dia Amirul dan Lotter ketika kena denda pumping sebab Linda Jasmine salah tuduh meka bising dalam kelas. Sampai ati kan? Bebudak pompuan tu patut kena...
Meka bertiga ni baik je...they so pay the attention and come out perfect in every performance.

14. Tengok betapa romantik nya Haziq nyanyi tuk Leez. Walaupun tetap Tora datang lagi katanya... bukan sumbang ok... korang jangan kejam kutuk dia. Cuma nervous... tu sebab out sikit sampai ke Alaska sora dia. Korang takde ati dan perasaan ke?

15. Sapa kata meka ni tak mampu wat lagu Hips Don't Lie? Especially pelajar laki!
Meka ni besh ok! Sora budak laki tak dengar sebab erm.. meka simpan tenaga, tu kan rehearsal dance. Lagikpun, meka memang perfect sedap ok nyanyi tu.
Pe dia?
Ala... bahasa orang... korang kena paham ler jangan agungkan lagu omputeh ni sangat.
At least bebudak ni leh dance. Apa dia? Joget lambak? Ketimuran ler at least...

You know the frightening part about those points at the top. Some people will actually take them as true!
Don't believe it? Nama pun fanatik...
They're capable of anything... which is more than what I can say about the students themselves.
And for the last time this season, anyone doesn't like what I say in my blog can jump off the highest building, cause I don't get paid by Astro to write 'positive, thought provoking pieces'.
Lawak... lawak...

Missed Rockstar : Supernova ari ni sebab bangun 'awal' sangat.
Actually woke up tengo jam 8.15am, tapi confident leh lelap sat agik.
Merasalah, bangun da 10!
Takper... malam ni takyah tengok Diari pertama sebab da tengok. Sempat ler mencelah kang tengok Rockstar : Supernova (Diari kan berlambak iklan) malam ni.
Anyway, walaupun jarang, I caught the first Diari report today during noon.
And here are some observations mengenai Diari Akademi Fantasia hari ni (sebab malas wat ulasan can carutan skema - banyak lagik blog yang wat transkripsi penuh).

My 20-point observation of Diari Akademi Fantasia today

1. Who do we blame it on, again? The education system in Malaysia ke kerana lepaskan orang cam Faizal ni yang tak paham simple words pun? Nak kata English 1119 pun tak sampai kalau setakat nak sebut 'girl' pun takleh.
That is like PMR, Darjah 6 punya level ok. Faizal ni lulusan skoleh rendah je ke? Or worse?
Orang nak bagi alasan apa pun, I'm not expecting English dia power ke haper. Tapi takkan setakat perkataan senang pun nak beriya-iya tanya konon nak tunjuk usaha (in the end miming gak kang cam ari tu)
And because of that, terpaksa la melayan orang sebut "hey gurrr" dan "move yerrrr bodehhh"
And when you walk up on the dance floor. Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl. Tu lirik yang simple. Apa? Ignore pun berapa hari nak paham?
Kesian Umi dari malam semalam, and Syafi ari ni sebab nak explain bukan main punya seksa!

2. It's unbeliavable the things that production allow to slip.
Kalau ari tuh, Aznil tersilap live tu sebut n*****r leh maapkan lagi.
Ni, Lotter menunjukkan kekampungan diangan nak wat lawak bangap, bodoh, dan very the babs dengan mengatakan "negro bodoh" at least dua kali.
That is just a racist statement and I can't believe they allowed that on TV!
Kalau kena bangsa yang ada kena mengena negara kita?
He's as stupid as Faizal bila bab tertentu.

3. Pelajar laki semua memang molot lebih becok. Tengah kelas, membebel je keja sekor-sekor. Budak pompuan at least disciplined, hasil pun perform better.
Wat per nak binatang masuk kelas ni.
Tima kasih Syafi for telling them off.

4. Amirul has no bloody sense of fashion tul. Ada ke tak abih-abih ngan pokok kelapa atas kepala dia tuh. Stylo ke?
Retarded ader ler.

5. Disebabkan kekurangan segalanya, Amirul yang tak mampu concentrate akibat jangkitan anxiety disorder dari Haziq, mendapat a different strain of virus kombinasi attention deficit disorder dan otak out of order.
Akibatnya, Syafi lukis vocal cord dia giggled away terbayang benda lain.
Aku rasa korang tengok bentuk korang leh agak ler dia bayangkan apa.
So juvenile... benda camtuh pun leh seronok.

6. Jelas dari latihan, lagu bonus Lemas dan Saya Anak Malaysia diberikan untuk kononnya menunjukkan budak lelaki semua ada input. Sebab confirm lemau nak mampos time Hips Don't Lie.

7. Diagak masaalah yang bakal dihadapi Velvet  menjadi. Velvet sendiri dan Syafi pun akui yang Caramu memang lagu susah untuk dibawa, walaupun bunyi nya seolah senang.
Range Nikki terlampau besar jika di jadikan suara Velvet yang more on the higher end dan nipis.
Still, hope she makes it all the way, even though ikut trend undian dia nampak cam akan tersingkir minggu ni.

8. Haziq menyambung usaha gatal perasan macho  yang semakin overdose dan meluatkan. Ada je Leez, ada jer ler Haziq membayangi setiap pergerakannya. Sampai Leez gi tukau bateri tuk mic pun dia gedik nak ikut.
Ikut satu hal, siap baring pose feel manja seductive agik yang tak larat nak muntah.

9. Syukur Leez tak minat binatang dan terus beredar ngan jeling tak kuasa.
Padan muka!!!

10. Alamak... akibat kena reject, sepanjang laporan Diari Akademi Fantasia kedua, kami dihidangkan mukla toya Haziq merajuk sepanjang masa.
Aku salute Leez ler... wat donno jer ngan penagih simpati punya si pengiggil. Amik ko... motif feeling nak berdrama swasta???

11. True in Astro tradition yang takleh survive kalao tak paparkan kisah telnovela, meka tetap berkejar tuk panaskan ngan cita 'cinta' Haziq dan Leez.
Patut ler yer yer nak bak masuk bagi cuti percuma.
Persis bosi (tak paham takper) si Leez ni. Lari ke Lotter... lari ke Faizal... dan lari dari Haziq (gelak jahat seribu kali)
Lari punya lari, kena lak paksa berbalas pantun ngan si gigil. Dengan muka penuh harapan penggigil tuh. Yuck!!!

12. The class for appreciation for our musical heritage ni menyemak je. In the packed curriculum yang bebudak performance pon tak betul, perlu ke membusykan meka lagik with more things that aren't relevant to their performance.
After all... again, the class is a good move. But I hardly see how it personally aids them, neither does it do anything good for programming. BORING!!!!

13. Motif Amirul feeling nak dominasi ngan perasaan trauma dia?
Camler dia seorang kena perform personal assignment, as well lagu bonus. Please lah... musim lepas-lepas Akademi Fantasia tak penah pun bebudak merungut sebanyak assignment meka.
Musim ni ler the first real look at yang memang TAK LAYAK dok Akademi... sikit-sikit complain. Tapi at least ada kesinambungan in cita Lotter yang mengikuti rapat pastuh.

14. What can Lotter do selain bagi alasan? Nyanyi takleh... nari takleh.
Complain lak takleh tuh laa ni la... terima jer la, sengau woi... apa da!

15. Motif Amirul perlu nak jadi kongkang (more than he is anyway) time nari.
Hah... pastu performance hancur kata stress ler... tak cukup masa ler. Tidur, nangis, melantak, and playing the fool ada masa lak.
Motif nari cam monyet kena sawan.
Tak baik Amirul carut si Faizal (gelak agik)

16. Dealova lagu emo tiba tiba... courtesy of Faizal... menjadi... jeng jeng jeng... ROCK KAPAK!!!
Damn.
That's another favourite song off my list.

17. Haziq ari ni menjadi ratu sentap. Tiap kali kena reject ngan Leez, wat muka seposen, baring hide his face, which is actually good for us sebab kita takyah tengok muka dia.

18. Kevin Zahri as usual lebih-lebih lak. Teringat masa dia dulu iya-iya participate in kritikan persembahan, like he knows anything.
Ari ni, dia gantikan Dr Eveready ngan konon nak psycho bebudak tuh.
Perlu ke?
Mari kita bincang soal rambut ko ala toupee tuh dulu. Premature balding setting in ker haper?

19. Kesian tengok at the end of two episodes, teringat Linda Jasmine da mula hilang kesabaran dan mula menjerit kembali.
Who wouldn't with so many idiots you are entrusted to teach, tapi meka in reality nak free holiday on Astro jer dok depan camera feel muka seposen.

20. Corrie pun aku rasa trauma teramat. Who can blame him. Kita tak dalam Akademi pun camtuh da... apa lagik kalao dok dalam.

Disebabkan aku sempat catch Diari pertama da tenghari tadik,. so in between here and there, aku dapat ler catch Rockstar : Supernova.
I loved Magni's performance of The Who's My Generation, walaupun it wasn't rockstar material, it was above par.
With Rihanna's S.O.S. big now, mesti ramai recognise Soft Cell's Tainted Love walaupun meka tak penah dengar yang original.
It was good for me, but maybe because of the strength of the song itself and nothing to do with her.
Jill was all rock for Hole's Violet, but the performance was only as strong as the song, which is not saying much.
Zayra ranks as crap again with You Really Got Me by The Kinks. Screw rock... whatever genre, in whatever language, that latina doesn't cut it!
Chris sucked big time for Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out. It's so blah blah blah and forgettable that it could have been on Akademi Fantasia.
My favourite Dilana tore it up again with Johnny Cahs's Ring Of Fire.
She's the only rock gal that actually has a chance to walk off with Supernova and I'm hoping she'll remain in enough to prove to everyone that.
Josh with Creed's Arms Wide Open was in the wrong show, while Phil who did Tonic's If You Could Only See was just in the wrong genre. 
Storm is another crowd favourite, but I really don't think she's all rock,  while Patrice is starting to show an edgier side with Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box.
The highlight of the show (just beating Dilana by a bit) was Lukas, my other favourite who did a totally different take of Coldplay's Don't Panic.
Ryan who should have been booted off with Zayra in the first week for equally sucking eggs... SUCKED again with The Stone's Jumping Jack Flash
Moe fillers with Dana (Steppenwolf's Born To Be Wild) and Toby (The Killer's Somebody Told Me) and the show was over.
I don't know and sure as hell don't care who's going to go, but it better not be Dilana or Lukas.
Time to vote for them like hell.
If you love and follow Rockstar : Supernova too, don't forget to vote!
I'm clicking a lot for Dilana and Lukas all the way.
Takyah mahal-mahal nak SMS. Online leh vote, just click Rockstar : Supernova (you got to have flash)
Okler... nak vote sat and then nak tidur. Esok pagi da tunjuk dia punya results show live.
G'night all...
Oh by the way, jangan lupa undi lagu Caramu dari Nikki featuring Zahid di carta ERA. And pada mereka yang lum nonton video lagu tugasan Velvet minggu ini :

Ari ni sempat abihkan banyak kerja. Skang da lunch time, ada lagik keja sikit, so hopefully I can finish in an hour or so, sebab ingat nak gi tengok movie lagi.
Ni pesanan Diddy yang sempat aku upload finally.

As usual, just in case korang tak dapat baca, ni transkrip of what Diddy wrote.

http://klubbkidd.blogdrive.com
To : all my fans

"Thanx 4 supporting me & I appreciate that. Kepada sesiapa yg berminat nak join Dazzling Diddy FC, sila lah buat demikian....hehe... Diddy

So kalau korang peminat Diddy... apa agik, join ler Dazzling Diddy. Apapun, nak more of Diddy, gi ke blog Tuan President. Patutnya ada update sebut pasal camna korang leh gi Muzik@Ria malam ni tapi nan ado katanya, so erm... sesapa biasa gi ke Astro tuk the program, silakan ler jenguk usaha sendiri.
By the way... sempat tengok Diari pertama ari ni at noon.
Suka campur geram!
Suka tengok ari ni Sham lepas kan power punya sakit ati kat bebudak pasal their group performance.
eram time Faizal nak tanya balik, "Saya buat salah ke cikgu".
Hah... berani lagik menyampuk. Merasalah ko kena se das balik ngan Sham.
Go Sham!!! Teruskan lagik usaha anda!!!
Kalau Sham terus tegur bebudak tegur camni, aku syorkan buat fan club je wat Sham. Kalau power sikit, kita AFUNDI dia je masuk.
Dari jauh ku lihaaaaaaaakkk....
Baru nak celebration je Faizal kena laser seban konon wat muka innocent, terpaksa melayan Lotter wat Chow Kit Road. Seriously, he looks and sounds like he belongs there.
Syafi punya bab tolong bebudak vocal, aku kesian lak la... terpaksa dia layan horror-horror ni sekoq-sekoq!
Erm... tak larat Amirul, but ngan Velvet aku risau lak. She can't seem to get it right. Phrasing problems lak. Erm... dia ada stamina tak nih... hish. Worried for her.
Adus...
Forget Leez ler... no impact at all ler. So much for hoping she would bring something different into the Akademi.
Lor... end of first Diari kena layan airmata si Leez lak. Perlu ke? Wei...takde orang AFUNDI ko takyah ler wat drama.
But I supposed when Astro kata they needed something to create sparks in the Akademi, the meant some hootchie mama to strut in and get some hormonal pre-pubescent appearing geek to gawk at her lor.
The result? It worked!
Haziq tetiba actually became more irritating than ever with that stupid glazed look in his eyes ngada setiap kali ada Leez. Ada je benda yang menjelekkan pasai perangai dia.
Huh! Tau ler dapat lagu makanan ruji terus overconfident takyah focus tugasan.
Woit! Sedau ler moka toh cam bontot bas mini merah jambu yang diharamkan!
Tolong ler!!! I hope the rich fat cats who are throwing money behind him lose out in the stock markets soon. I don't know berapa lama lagik ler I can take this.
Dahler had to layan his tahi hidung ke jerawat... tak kuasa.
Patut ler orang kutuk Farhan memacam... mesti peminat Haziq (penghinaan yang teramat power!)
Dahler... muka toya Haziq wat aku hilang selera makan.
Ok gak Astro letak muka Haziq ni tak abih-abih...kurus gak aku akhirnya (mung kin ke?)
Rasa cam tak complete kalao aku tak sebut camna persembahan pelajar lain.
As expected, Velvet was having problems with Caramu, while Faizal lak pon 2 X 5.
Farhan takleh cakap sebab inadequate scenes showing her actually singing (terima kasih Astro sebab lombab).
As for Amirul dan Lotter... do you guys really expect much?

Aku betul-betul letih ari ni.
After spending most of the day kat Astro, aku sampai balik opis pun da 7 petang. That's when I found out I had tickets sent to me from Channel [V] for the preview of Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest  yang hanya akan memulakan tayangan Khamis ni
Dilema aku sebanyak banyak agik keja nak abih malam ni. So kalau tak sempat abihkan kesemuanya (which is impossible sebab movie pun da 9.30pm) aku esok kena masuk awal ke opis.
It didn't take long to think... sebab selepas rindukan 'dia' semalam, and spent the night wallowing in depression tengok Bridget Jones' Diary kat Astro, I though... hey... I got to go out.
So finished one article, rushed to the new Cathay Cineplex Cineleisure kat Damansara. Sebab tak ke area tuh in months, blur sikit. Kak long, Fiebie dan Za jumpa aku kat sana sebab aku ajak sekali, having extra tickets and all.
My Lord... besaunya tempat tuh!
Aku tatau aku sempat sebab rushing sangat (da takde stamina) ataupun terkezut because the place is impressively huge.
I think it must have been sebab aku rushing kot sebab aku kuar opis aku exactly 9.15pm. Three minutes to make my way down the parking ramp, and another 13 minutes to reach Damansara. Two more minutes of rushing, and I finally make it to the entrace to meet thre three of them.

We got in the moment the movie started so we didn't really miss anything crucial.
Tapi akibatnya, first time aku tengok movie tanpa berbekalkan snacks.
Not to mention the fact that aku tak sempat gi toilet langsung.
And for the next two and a half amazing hours, aku dok at the same spot, terpaku tenung skrin.
It was a fab movie!
Memang soal effects, it was top notch, even way better than the cheesy Army Of Darkness wannabe CGI applications.
Plot-wise, I thought it was silly of them to try and put in some sub-plots like Will and his dad and all, but apparently all for a good reason!
Yes, after two and a half butt-numbing hours (WARNING : potential spoiler revelation), there is no bloody ending.
Aiyak... tergantung cita dia for another bloody sequel.
Wait a minute, this IS the sequel... so kira the third instalment ler.
Erm... but all in all it was a gorgeously made movie yang worth it (even if you have to pay for it)
But bear it's a popcorn movie, though not exactly a no-brainer.
In this follow-up to the 2002 movie, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) reveals more of his deal with the devil, when dia kena langsai utang with the extremely cooly and scarily realistic Davy Jones.
Due to the interests of the East India Trading Company, the characters of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley have to skirmish around to sabe themselves from a death sentence to track down Jack for a barter trade they don't understand.
Blah blah blah... the plot is mediocre... but the jumpy scraes come quite intelligently and if you're anything like the four of us who watched the movie, be advised gi buang air ke beli snacks BEFORE the movie cause there is no other time to do it once the film has started (abih lega bila abih movie bergegas carik bilik air)
Recommended film to catch... kalau ikut aku, it's a three and a half star effort.
Notable things to notice, the scene everyone's trying to get away from the cannibals. Davy's weird corpe crew (especially that hammerhead nasty), and the great make-up and CGI effects.
Rasa nak gi tengok lagik ler
Hmmm... abih je movie, ciao gi Bangsar melantak sebab masing-masing kebuluran.
Then said by to kak long and gerak gi Shah Alam. Sebelum tidur, rasa cam kewajipan nak update blog teramat, so decided pop in Internet cafe kat Seksyen 6 sat.
Nak update pasal Diari ari ni...
Aku sempat tengok the first Diari abih and halfway the second Diari (walaupun aku in between abihkan keja, answering the phone dan kelam kabut nak rush ke cinema).
Dalam Diari pertama, aku caught for about minutes the audio wasiat yang Diddy bagik. Touching and honest. Ok ler..
Then for some stupid reason, the played Jenga, which is about as relevant to them as fashion is to Yoda.
Aku tak paham tul scenes camni... pastu main game air entah haper, followed by some scene they were like going for a bite or something. Big, fat, hairy, deal.
Aku sempat tengok je part evaluation performance pelajar, and I think it's just silly.
I applaud the likes of Papa Rock sebab tak nak demoralise the kids and all, tapi in that way I think it crosses the fine line jadik manja lak.
Bila buat salah cam Haziq, walaupun dalam playback leh dengar sumbang mambang, still nak puji. Hurmphh!!! How are they expected to learn then?
Aku balik je check senarai lagu tugasan sebab dengar lagu Nikki featuring Zahid menjadi tugasan. Nak gak tengok sapa dapat.

Amirul - Oh No Kamu (V.E.)
Faizal - Dealova (Once)
Farhan - Meniti Titian Usang (Search)
Haziq - Tak Seindah Wajah (Tan Sri SM Salim)
Lotter - Chow Kit Road (Sudirman)
Velvet - Caramu (Nikki feat Zahid)
Leez - Ku Gembira Disampingmu (Khatijah Ibrahim)
Lagu Bonus - Lemas (Ruffedge)
Lagu Bonus - Saya Anak Malaysia (Dr.Sam)
Lagu Bonus - Hips Don't Lie (Shakira feat Wyclef Jean)

Ok this is ridiculous. The songlist is just crap.
Amirul dapat lagu quite safe, which doesn't test him vocally (but then it'd be a waste of time to test him sebab dia nyanyi Baa Baa Black Sheep pun teruji).
Faizal nyanyi Dealova? First of all, nyanyi lagu Indonesian kena kuat projection emosi, and Faizal doesn't really project himself that well.. but I know lots of fans will argue that it's not true and that he would be perfect for the song. I'll just say that people will believe what they want to.
Farhan will be challenged because for a straight out rock song, it utilises less obvious techniques, and I think she'll face some serious challenges in getting that right.
Haziq? Buang masa je. Cakap pe pun tak guna da. Letih jari menaip.
Lotter? Mendapat lagu yang dapat maximise kesengauan dia, though I don't care to talk about him anymore too.
Velvet rupanya yang dapat lagu Caramu, and I hope that part whistling yang susah dan bukan semua leh buat she can surprise me. If nothing else, perhaps she can demonstrate the use of superhead tone walaupun kalau dia takleh wat whistling. The song being rancak, sebab tengok Nikki pun nyanyi dan menari kena conserve energy, I hope she will be able to pace herself well.
Leez? Tak penting dalam kehidupan aku...
Hah? Lagu RuffEdge lagik? Kronisme ke haper ni? Ada interest ke sesapa nak lagu meka je? Takde lagu lain nak pilih ke?
Lagu Dr. Sam walaupun nostalgic, but seriously, perlu ke ada lagu ni? it's not a competition song, and it doesn't really need any vocal talent ok for this sing-a-long.
Trust me when I say the boys will go all out for this one because of that.
Hips Don't Lie is a laugh, sebab semestinya pas bebudak laki melalak, lagu ni akan menjadi ujian seterusnya untuk budak pompuan.
Double standard tul!
The boys keep getting the easy ones and the girls suffer and yet don't get the credit due.
I think the main problem that is evident now is that tenaga pengajar dan pengkritik tak sehaluan.
Sini ajar lain, sana kritik lain. And then sentap, bagik lak bebudak ni lagu yang lebih kurang within their comfort zone (but mostly for the benefit of the boys).
Your guess is as good as mine ler.
Tiring ler predictability Akademi Fantasia kali ni....
Dahler... nak gi tidur. Esok aku upload pesanan Diddy as well as review seterusnya.
