So terkejut ke dengan keputusan? Not me...told you guys kan Astro mesti chicken out kan and opt for something safe. And five is traditonal and conventional dan just plain safe. Congrats to Aznil sebab pick up on that and play with it so bagik orang suspense. Sapa yang kata takde penyingkiran, amik ko!
So what do I think? Nak kata sedih Shawal keluar, tak gak....sebab da pun expect seriously. Nak wat camna kan. Kalao ikut pola pengundian, it's not exactly surprising for Shawal to make his exit. Still, I was hoping for a miracle... but...takpela... realiti lebih penting. By next week, selepas memasin kutip adiah, kita tengok jer ek sapa yang akan berjaya.
Musim musim lepas pun ramai gak aku tak stuju...and where are they?
Ok laa... on to the review.

Lagu bonus semua pelajar -  Let's Dance Together (Melly Goeslaw & Bukan Bintang Biasa (BBB)
Aku baru nak syok gila sebab bebudak lima orang yang sepatutnya melangkah ke final kuar nak wat show minus yang membosankan. Tapi dah agak pon. I kept looking at the exits expecting meka nak bak dia masuk anytime.
Tu kan gimik...meraih simpati. Keyword for the day.. and everyday for peminat Aswad, KESIAN dia...
Kesian kena chicken pox....kesian kena paksa bukak headband... kesian dia anak yatim...kesian dia selalu keseorangan... kesian dia tuh kesian dia ni. So ni alkisahnya kena kesian lagi la sebab demam dan otot kejang katanya.
Tapi kali ni betul betul keji kan...so dia tak perform langsung konon kejang otot antara sebab. Matilah!!! Apa punya alasan???!!!
Rambut kejung, otot kejang...pasni? Sila tentukan kempen atau gimik Aswad seterusnya. Clue anda : Kejang, Kejung dan ...? Hadiah anda merupakan treatment rambut selama tiga bulan kat Yun Nam Hair Care Specialists (merasalah bagik promo pree).
The performance aku memang enjoy though simply by merit of him not being there. Kalau camni final aku leh enjoy ler. Hakikatnya alat propaganda Astro wajib ada ler. So deal with it jer. Just block out the ugliness lah. Kalao lagu lain kenapa dia takleh perform lagu ni? Takyah menari la..kena simpan sora tuk segment sendiri ek? So how about bebudak lain tungkus lumus? Aku tengok Candy tak duduk. Asik backing tuh nih je...aci ke?
Overall, vocally they were ok, but I thought the outfits were so ridiculous they just grabbed my attention away from it all.
 

Shawal & Candy - Menari Denganku (Zahid & Sarah Raisuddin)
I thought they were both good. Of course they were helped by the fact that the song was bouncy and infectious. THey did quite ok overall, tapi i suppose my mind was too bogged down too much by the sight of si kejang kejung atas pentas tuh with his smirk sebab dapat gak raih simpati orang agik. Eewww!!!.
Anyway the  chemistry of the duo was amazing and I liked the way they fed off each other for energy.
I thought from the start their match-up was pretty good, so it's quite interesting that they did manage to pull it off.
Not amazing but entertaining nonetheless.


Aswad - Mungkin Langitmu Lebih Biru (Mawi)
Tak paham soal kejang otot. Problem is memang selama ni dia nari ala kejang anyway. Kan? So? Ada beza ke?
Eew...merasalah Astro nak letak pic kecik dia. Rambut ori masa tuh ok tanpa gam UHU.
Korang perasan tak, tatau ler kat rumah camna melalui TV, tapi at least in the auditorium, meka upkan echo dan reverb tiap kali bebudak tarik note so that bergema konon lebih sedap.
He came out forced and consipated, dan aku tak paham kenapa dia suka meneran.
It was ok, nothing spectacular, he has some issues with timing. Tempo tergelincir banyak part. Aku tak tahan nak layan lagu ni sebab lagu ni sedap tapi di kapakkan oleh dak mop dan UHU nih. Kejilah...
Seb baik bak laptop ada aku transfer Langit Biru dari album Mawi leh layan melalui headphone...lagik sedap.
High note last line tak sampai... and performance dia onstage sekejung dan sekejang otot dan rambut dia.
Merasalah peminat Aswad bak sign Hard Rock Aswad katantya...wajib Hard Rock harus saman malu.
No originality was what si Jee was trying to say, tapi takut nak cakap kot sebab takut album kang tak laku.
Loloq was right on the dot too, sama ngan Jee, walaupon cara cakap lain... sebab dia kata peminat Mawi akan undi sebab confuse. In other words klon ler mamat nih.
Someone tell Ogy yang kejung otot takde kena mengena ngan lontaran vokal, Meanwhile peminat Akademi Fantasia kat Sabah please bak Ogy gi layan Centrepoint kat Kota Kinabalu asik dok mencari centre point. Jangan maah ek kak Ogy....
(for simply zero originality dan trying too hard)

Heliza - Ya Atau Tidak (Erra Fazira)
Aku suka! Aku suka!!! Dia managed nak dance in sync dan nyanyi quite well.
Kira dia manage nak keep up to the momentum of Kesal even though aku tak dapat feel or connect with the performance. Or at least that's how I feel ler.
Walaopon pakai body suit yang recycle tiap minggu, dan berlangsir ngan labuci bersama kelepet glitter murahan, still she managed to hold on to her stamina and not crack too much with very minor slip ups in her performance.
Puas aku, kira performance yang justifies her worthy of being in the last week before the final, with empat lampu biru.
 

Note : BUSUK TUNJUK UNDIAN TAHAP NI!!! DA KATA AGENDA ASTRO NAK NAIKKAN MOP DAN GAM.

Ebi - Bukan Diriku (Samsons)
Buat kali kedua aku sakit mata tengok si Candy yang pakai khemah kenduri kahwin, Dia da tukau baju horrendous ni, hasil keja tangan Jasmin oops...Jasmi Rejab ni wat pening aku. Come on la. Dah ler dak tuh kemetot. Kena naya lagik. Dari backing Heliza aku dah perasan. Hish!!! More on that later.
Ebi started je da off key...and stay off key for most of the first verse. Tapi tone sora dia very the membuai.Chorus sedap. i can't help noticing posture dia teruk siot.. dok slouching so love handles dia pop out. Erm..so much for the etiquette lessons kan.
Lakonan Ebi memang besh...sebab dia hold character dia throughout..and Candy just complemented his performance. Despite his weakness, memang la dia deserve nak go in the final.
Good performance sebab the feel of his delivery, and not so much based on technique but on sheer rawness of feel.
 

Mila - Pudar (Rossa)
Nak cakap apa lagi? It was great fun. Forget the horrible baju yang cam makcik makcik jual sayur ngan oversized top and ala capri or three quarter pants, whatever you choose to call them. Or was it leggings? The kind of grayish silverish yucky thing she was wearing.
She was the performance of the night without a doubt!
Her only flaw for me was the projection of her vocals which was a little rough, and ended up almost a little painful on the ears. Cam mengilai kekadang.
But no matter what, Mila has come a long way from her first two weeks yang azab.
Apa agik nak cakap?
Sesuai ngan empat lampu biru.


NOTE : LAGI SEKALI TUNJUK KEDUDUKAN TERKINI. CAM KESIAL LA.

Shawal - Copacabana (Barry Manilow)
Aku minat Shawal, but that was horrible! Aku try nak enjoy sebab lagu ni besh sebenarnya, tapi...erm...
Aduh...what the... erm. English dia berterabur gak with his intonasi very the salah dan sewaktu dengannya. Lidah keras....dan salahkan si Khairul Najimi yang takde function langsung sebab everytme bebudak nyanyi lagu omputeh mesti ala hancus or within the vicinity of that.
Aku kesian dia sebab lagu ni sebenarnya dia leh hidupkan, but he didn't learn frm the mistakes of student student sebelom ni yang kena lagu omputeh.
Tapi yerla...saat saat genting kena lagu English...nasib da....


Candy - Cahaya Cinta (Siti Nurhaliza)
She did it pretty well, walaopon baju tuh menyeksa hidup dia. Si Jee beriya kata gerakan dia tak kena. Well...salahkan baju la keji!
Bangang tol. Dah BAJU BURUK! Aku rasa sarungkan kain guni lagik cantik.
Si Ogy pun tak consider tuh.. come on lah. Baju tuh halang pergerakan dia pun tak tegur...the move to put her in that gawdawful dress was just butt stupid!
Vocally she did well, except for the last few bits when she dipped to avoid breaking I suppose.
Siti was rght on the dot bila kata dia consistent throughout the competition, and aku rasa menci sebab Aswad meka bagik can sangat, walaupon kejang takde kena mengena, ni meka tak excuse her at all. And the baju so horrendous and impacted her performance tak cakap or bagi leeway langsung.
Boo to Raymond and Aaron Von Jolly and Jasmi Rejab for that horrible creation yang cam Laura Ashley punya cushion covers sewn into an oversized bag.
And lain kali...kalao da sponsor bagik yang baik sikit... ni dah ler burok nak mention lak...EEEEEWWWW!!!!
  (for her performance and   untuk mangkuk hayun yang brtanggungjawab baju tuh)

Aswad & Heliza - Joget Cinta Sakti (Haziq & Rosma)
Whining and moves like an invalid without reason. Sesuai ler...malas komen panjang... BUSUK!!!!!!!!!!! Kesian Heliza terpaksa partner ngan Aswad.
Keji seribu kekejian.
Ni yang Jee kata terhibur ek....why am I not surprised. Rosak lagu joget yang sedap jer.Memang sora meka serasi kalao you believe in the concept of opposites attract sebab lenggok Heliza ok, si Aswad sombang. Keji lah!!!
Kalau badut tetap badut.
Saksikan kepulangan pam jamban!!!


Ebi & Mila - My Heart (Irwansyah & Acha Septriasa)
Setelah pernah melayan si Irwansyah dan Acha live hancus, this was without a doubt that it was a million times better. Both Ebi and Mila were just spellbinding.
I thought the choreography wasd unnecessary and tak perlu, and they should have just acted it out. Made it look stiff, but it was mesmerising alright...
The best duet of the night, vocally and visually and the chemistry was obvious.
Aku tatau kenapa tapi suddenly vocals Ebi ni mengingatkan aku pada Andy Flop Poppy.


Lagu bonus semua pelajar - Lagu Gembira (Jamal Abdillah & Ning Baizura)
Biasa je performance. Sampai time ni aku da takde mood da...sebab da dekat time penyingkiran. Mneyirap darah aku tengok si Aswad dok malas, konon, kejang punya alasan bangap. What the...
Baik takyah masuk la. This is just not fair...semua usaha all out, dia lak dok malas je pun tumpang untung. Watching the five of them performing, along masa Menuju Puncak aku sedih sikit...sebab sapa la bernasib kurang elok kena rompak dak botak kena gam mop nih yang alasan tak sihat manjang nih.
The five of them represent the top five aku nak tengok from the start....but well...what to do. Agenda Astro lebih kuat nak meraih undi kaki SIMPATI dan kuat KESIAN tapi tak reti nonton Bersamamu TV3 tuk derma to a worthier cause so camna...
(for Lagu Gembira yang membosankan) dan (for Menuju Puncak sebab takde Aswad merosakkan choreography)

And keputusannya? Of course Shawal terkeluar...tapi aku takleh cakap apa sebab dia eliminated. Just that the kedudukan undian after the konsert membuat aku terpikir...
I hope everyone starts voting now, sebab aku nak tengok everyone, except you know who in their deserving places. Aswad da memang out of his deserving place, because he's not worthy of even being in the competition. A million and one chances given by Astro, you'd expect someone with that luxury to be outperforming based on the charity handed out.
Oh well...keep voting guys...

Kedudukan peratusan AFUNDI pada penutuk konsert kesembilan
1. Mila 19%
2. Aswad 19%
3. Ebi 17%
4. Candy 15%
5. Heliza 15%
6. Shawal 14%

Tahniah pada Heliza, Candy, Mila dan Ebi kerana layak ke final.
 

Ok..aku nak story personal sikit ni. After my mini depression last night, I decided to opt for some me time.
So gi ler makan sendiri... nak layan my thoughts sat ler. Sambil terngiang lagu Aku Tak mau Sendiri dari Bunga Citra Lestari, aku pun headed over to Bukit Bintang to have supper after I left the Bangsar home.
Aku bingung ler sikit. Yerlah. Aku sangkakan dia lah yang akan menjadi pengganti baru...tak sangka cepat ini aku mampu buat keputusan dia ni tak sesuai.
So anyway, lepak punya lepak...gi clubbing,,,drank a little and all to have fun after bumping into some friends (lama tak clubbing camtuh lor), aku popped out for supper.
Spotted someone which caught my eye.
Member dia eyeballing me, tapi aku tak layan. Aku pandang dia je. For some reason...dia nih...erm...manis dan menarik katanya.
So aku pun pandang, dan perhatikan gelagat dia je.
Aku rasa dia perasan kot, or at least member member dia perasan ler kot.
Anyhoo... nothing happened, their group of five got up to leave. Aku tatau ler dia couple ke antara member member dia ke apa. So tak berani nak approach nak kenalkan diri.
Terlepas ler...sempat le aku pura pura ke keta nak amik barang sebab keta aku dekat je parking ngan meka. Pastu meka da jalan, aku pun walk back dejected to join my friends again.
Tengok tengok keta meka u turn sebab nak ikut jalan lain. Aku gegas ke kedai berdekatan buat cam nak beli barang. Dia dok passenger side belah depan. Masa lalu, aku sempat senyum, dia balas...ignoring member dia yang beriya je lambai.
Terlepas lagi...but I wasn't going to allow that to happen. Aku cakap member aku, aku nak gerak, campak duit dan mintak meka bayarkan and hopped in my car.
Kejar gak ler...and caught up with them at the traffic light. When the light turned green, aku lalu meka, and dia senyum kat aku lagik. Arghh!!!
But aku kena masuk kiri while they turned to the right!
Arghhh!! Frust nyaaaa. Harapan aku nak catch up hancur...sebab kena road block lak depan. Shit! Lepas lalu dua rad block (semalam operasi habisan nampaknya), aku pun gerak aimlessly.
Balik nak sambung download movies to cheer me up, when I had a brainwave. Something stupid and far fetched!
Aku pun online ler mirc dan wat pengumuman merata describing dia camna, ngan sapa, kol brapa kat mana... and SURPRISINGLY!!! In five minutes ada orang mesej aku ngaku dia member dak tuh.
Nak kata caya tak, tapi minah ni ngaku dia one of the members of the group yang lepak tadi.
So nak cakap apa kan? Aku mintak dia describe tuh nih..BETUL!!!! Nak pengsan aku! Dia tanya aku...so ko minat dia ke? Kalao ko minat, dia single...aku leh bagik nombor!
Terbodoh sat...tanya la beberapa soalan lagik tapi member dia cam irriitated. Ko nak ke tanak...so aku kata ok. Dia bagik and quit chat. Now was that a coincidence or what...
Aku masih tak caya agik. So aku pun put it to the ultimate test.
CALLING!!!!
Bodoh sangat lupa tanya nama dia dari member dia. So masa ada orang angkat phone tuh, I stupidly blubbered...."Ermm...hi...ahh...awak ni..tadik ada kat *** makan kat *** ek?"
And dia jawab yer!
Aku da nak pengsan out of sheer excitement! Then aku tanya agik, "Awak yang pakai *** dan *** tuh ek?"
Kali ni pas dia balas ya, dia tanya aku sapa. Tapi sebelom aku leh cakap apa apa, dia kata dia tengah kat 7 Eleven, and mintak aku call dia in five minutes. This was 5am. Tunggu dengan sabar sekali, and exactly five minutes later aku redial nombor dia.
Kali ni kami sembang panjang...erm...dan dia tanya aku kalao aku nak keluar esok! Arghhh!!! Cam tak caya. And I thought stuff like this happens only in movies. Who would have thought...I sure didn't. Aku ingat aku takkan jumpa dia agik.
Aduh...nak mimpi sora dia kat phone dan wajah dia masa senyum tuh.
Oh well.. the circle of life kan. One goes, another comes. As painful as that reality gets, I keep trying lor to find the right one for me to last just a little longer. We all do...
Ok ler...nak tidur...tengahari kang nak bangun dan gi tempat keja dia (atas ajakan dia nak jumpa pas dia abih extra work). Terasa nak bak dia ke konsert malam ni je tuk temankan aku (sebenarnya evil reason nak tayang kat 'dia' I've moved on). But no no...bad intentions never bode well... so don't think so.
Apapon...I got a date!!!
Erm...bab konsert malam ni, I'll let the banners do the talking. Guys...AFUNDI your choice NOW!
It's 9am now...good night...sweet dreams...I know I'm going to have some. Keji kan? Datang weekend je routine tidur aku hancus. Heh...dozing off...sorry ek entry ni meroyan...suka ati aku. Da lama tak angau cita bab bab personal ni. Sapa tak suka..shuh!!!

By the way...pasal malam ni ramai tanya kan...apa au rasa ada penyingkiran ke...kalao ye berapa ramai yang akan eliminated dan berapa ramai akan ke final.
My answer - I really don't know. Kalao aku jawab, Astro kan cam kesial, suka ati masa show main tukar kang...
So my answer camni...anything is possible, but I think Astro might play safe with four or five ke final...tu pun kalao bukan the full six.
Kalao konon 'kejutan' (diikuti pujian melambun katakan they all deserve it) yang expected of Astro, tiada kejutan akan berlaku, dan keenam akan ke final. This is busuk dan nak perah duit sebab nak ramai dalam final so split votes semua frantic sikit konon...banyak choice, ramai agik yang vote.
Kalao one person eliminate, and thus top five...bosan lak skema sangat.
Kalao tolak dua malam ni, and we get final four pun camtakde kejutan sebab hasilnya cam musim ketiga.
What I want and hope for, tapi kebarangkalian menjadi is slim giler, is that tiga orang disingkirkan, leaving top three je for final. Baru gempak!!!!
Mungkin ke? Who knows?
Sapa yang layak? Aku rasa aku da make it clear who's my top five selections kan? Tengk banner banner kat atas kalao masih tak paham. Tenung lama sikit...kalao masih tak paham, sila carik bangunan tertinggi and throw yourself off it.
Sapa yang AKAN dapat final...another matter altogether.Honestly aku tatau...tapi expect ler undi simpati lagik skali masuk sebab kan ada yang 'sakit'....start Akademi Fantasia da sakit. Nak final pon sakit. Blah blah blah...ada je point nak KESIAN kan? Which is the only word anyway dalam vocab peminat dia.
So...sapa akan melangkah dalam final? Whoever lah... Astro tetap menang sebab meka kaya ngan manipulasi keadaan kan?

                     

The magic is gone. Argh...layan lagu Bunga tuk semangat sikit. Wait a minute...erm...ok ler la...leh la.Layan je lagu tuh on repeat.
Stress datang in the stupidest of forms dan aku tatau kenapa aku nak layan sangat peel dia tuh. Takpe...biasa la..time suaikenal gituh kan.
You always find out things you don't want to... which makes your decision a more informed one, on whether you really want to be with that person or not.
And today...I decided no. I do not want this emotional trap yang makes me feel like shit. Not what a relationship is for kan?
I understand the good and bad bits... but I don't want it if the negative outweighs the positive. So walk away baby... erm... kalao awak baca ni;... memang it's over. I don't want to see you again. You let me down.
But then... like a miracle.. .which it must be...something happened which did make me feel a lot better.
Memula aku depress, so drop by rumah Bangsar, sekali jenguk my sis yang demam. Layan TV, no mood nak cakap sangat, had a nap, felt better. Jida was there, so layan Borat skali gelak lawak bodoh Sacha Baron.
After we were done...something weird happened. Mmm...nanti aku cita la... developments still taking place. Doing this on my laptop.
Oh sebelom end this entry...lupa lak pic yang diamik smalam. Ingat tak pics siri perosak selera aku?
Hah...semalam masa dinner... I had to put up with THIS!!!

Tip to people with bad fashion sense. Do not wear ugly big undies if you have to wear pants with a plunging buttline revealing cut, or kalao nak berangan seksi ok!
He wasn't wearing boxers, cause they looked almost like briefs which were extra large, or cycling shorts minus the sheen of tights.
But I think it looked more like he was wearing a girdle.
Note to person in pic if you are reading this.
If wearing women's undies is how you get your kicks, please at least be able to afford some sexy lingerie cause this loks really bad.
Or another suggestion! Pull up your pants or wear a freakin' belt so the rest of the world can have dinner without throwing up.
Eeww....
I think I got to lay down now...

                     

Kalau ada yang wonder kenapa aku malas ikot Diarrhea, sebab aku malas carot kang apa perkembangan terkini. Cukup ler buat skali aku tak dibuai sentimen yang guided by Astro.
Biarlah aku nilai meka dalam nak masuk minggu akhir ni dari persembahan meka je. Lagipon tak rela aku nak tengok rambut Aswad tuh.
Ari ni didn't do much...bought a new sound system comprising of CD player and tuner tuk my work space. Gila kan?
Tapi nak wat camna. I need to have music all around...kalao tak cam...entah.
Music is my life... and I swear i can't live a day without it... so sesuai ler tempat keja aku, where I need inspiration the most, I need to have music.
Malas nak amik pic sebab rasa tak lengkap agik tempat aku tuh. Nanti je la ek.
Had tonnes of work, tapi sempat finish everything up early. Semangat tempat keja baru gituh katanya.
Finished everything up, tapi didn't want to call it a day. Cam rajin lak nak dok lepak opis je. Tapi went out for dinner ngan si Juan dan Wan sebab meka pon nak pick up baju tuk photoshoot.
After dinner, we were joined by Ted, dan skali nak jalan jalan Chow Kit. Nak ke bundle katanya. I love flea markets. Kalao kat London, Portobello ler jawabnya.
Kat sinil, Chow Kit jer lah. But even that, worth a look sometimes, so popped by.
Dalam perjalanan, spotted something which really pissed me off. Tengok sendiri.

Aiyo...masa lalu area Kampung Baru aku snap ler pic ni. Come on ler pakcik...ni tengah KL ni...bukan kat kampung. Apa lak bawak anak cam sayur baru beli kat pasar kat dalam basket tuh.
Bahaya nak mampos...dah ler takde kiddie helmet ke apa apa. Kang kalao accident camna nak jawab tuh? Baru nak sibuk nak salahkan tuh ni kerana apa apa yang terjadik kang. BODOH!
Whatever your reasons, it is not valid enough to endanger the life of your child bodoh! Anak tuh anugerah Tuhan...hargai la sikit! Bangang punya bapak.
Dahler arituh snappy bapak lock anak dia dalam keta kat stesen minyak sebab nak gi counter kat dalam. Ni lak camnih....aduh..people never seem to learn until something disastrous happens!
Bought some very nice things...takleh cakap apa...heh...use your imagination (n...it's nothing human sebab kang otak korang pikir lain lak benda yang di niaga kawasan Chow Kit). Eeewww...
Ok ok...calling it an early night. Big day again tomorrow at the office.

                     

Pagi tadi, historic occasion sangat. Walaupon letih teramat, I busted my rear and forcibly hauled my lazy behind nak bangun awal.
First thing's first gi settle traffic summonses kakak aku punya keta, because my mom's car is in her name, so kena clear dari blacklist sebelom leh renew road tax yang dok nak expire ni.
So kena la jumpa abang angkat kat balai trafik Klang. Member abang jer ada, tapi thankfully ler leh tolong finish up everything s that kurang satu benda kat pala.
Gegas ke ofis immediately, dalam keadaan separuh sedar gituh sebab memang ngantuk sangat. Tambah agik ngan panas matahari terik (walaopon tak rasa sebab aircon dan the protection of Gucci)...I just felt drowsier.
Sampai kat opis ngan selamat. Tujuan awal sebab bebudak kata nak pindah about 11am. Cam kesial...aku dok sampai lunch baru meka nak pindah.
Aku da tak sabar sebab nak get the moving over and done with, aku punfirst in line ler nak hantar kotak kotak barang aku ke bangunan sebelah where we will now reside.
Not the first in, tapi first to unpack.
Mak aih...I have a lot of junk ler. Aiyo...ada yang aku accumulate sejak start keja reporting nih in 1996. Merasalah!!! One juge box full, and two smaller ones (tengok pic da stack tepi dan under meja aku pilih). And this lepas get rid A LOT of stuff ok!
Tension lak...sebab new rules strict gila. While we get lockers, no drawers kat bawah meja, and we can't store anything in that area. Ok...so dilemma now, camna nak muat semua benda benda tuh atas meja???? This after I settled the dilemma on where aku nak duduk.That being another dilemma...
Dah unpack, ajak Aqidah ke Ikea for lunch. Dah memang lapar banget... at the same time, need to look for some space saving solutions (I am such a victim of creative marketing!)
Reached Ikea terus ke bilik air nak cuci muka. Arghhh...rasa nak collapse je any minute.Decided to get the shopping over and done with
Browsing around and looking for what we needed tok up some time, sebab in reality we didn't really know what we needed as long as it was space saving.
Tapi bila jumpa tu ni...kena lak pikir leh ke tak leh regulations building lak... pastuh pikir colour scheme la (which of course you can see is blindingly colourful and will remain so until they change the panelling in a month or two) among many other considerations.
Stupidly didn't get a trolley, and lugged stuff I picked along the way while huffing and puffing away. Oh well... at least tak ngantuk lagik... just sweating profusely.
Who needs a gym when shopping burns so much calories kan!
Keji...ada je alasan tamau ke gym... erm.. well... maybe I'll start next week (office da ada gym pun masih malas...ada je excuses...)
Found more stuff I didn't need (bloody shopaholic instincts - oh look, that's quite cheap isn't it!!!) than what was actually needed, tapi nasib baik sebab tangan da penoh nak angkat ke hulu hilir, regretfully put down items which were deemed unnecessary (including garden deco items...go figure)
The whole process took some two and a half hours... a speed record for shopping for me. Apapon, we were lugging bebanyak carrier bags, sekali ngan several cork pin-up boards. Aku da rasa nak pengsan, in need of my sugar rush and food in any form, so made a beeline for the cafeteria. Hotdog dan karipap pun jadik ler...
Beggars can't be choosers kan? Nak gerak memana nak makan da memang tak larat nak take another step da.
So melantak ler...
Sampai balik office, took about two hours to totally clear up everything, but by the time I was done...voila!!! Cantik ok tempat aku. Heh...makan ati bebudak lain yang baru nak feeling unpacking, taking their own sweet time.
Matilah pas abih tuh baru larat nak focus nak abihkan articles due. Well.. I really can't work under conditions of an ugly work area, so there.
Cuma sentap sikit sebab new regulations dictate takleh gantung anything, or put up posters on the wall and stuff... so my autographed Slipknot poster is leaning against my desk until I find a loophole to get it up... while my disco ball now resides under my desk until the appropriate excuses can be made to why we need such a thing above our work area.
Party poopers!
Kang aku abih decorate bebetul kang aku letak pics of my work area. Nih nak ada some touching up to do and a few more items needed to jazz up the place.
After completed my due work, my tiredmness da maximum da. Tapi ada sssignment satu agik. Ala ala majlis kesyukuran for the completion of the filming of Kala Malam Bulan Mengembang.
Dead tired, s tumpang si Juan  jer...malas drive. Takut end up in a longkang somewhere.Event kat stesen keretapi, kat the Heritage Hotel. I've never been in here. And honestly... shit!!! I don't know why, but it reminds me of the Bates Motel dalam filem Psycho!!!!
 Eerie as all hell!!! Korang tengok jer ler lif dia.
First you slide the door, to reveal two doors which slide apart as well. The whole blody thing is wooden and I swear creaks when it moves. Sebab ada tingkap kat lif tuh, nampak je between every floor.
Reminds me of horror movies where you see things you shouldn't as the lift moves upwards or downwards.
Dahler time dia stop, abrupt halt punya yang jenis jerking. Wajib ler jeritan ala ala kena tikam 40 kali menemani arrival kita at the desired floor.
Keji!!! But kind of surprising... despite the age of the building and the facilities, everything is still impressive in its own way...walaupon like I said scary Mary!
But that didn't prepare me for the toilets.
That's anothr story altogether. I swear I was imagining things flying in from the open windows and popping out of the toilet bowl. And er... takde paip ok. Forget toilet paper as well...
So the real horror kalao korang nak buang air besar secara emergency ler with all that to consider.
And last but not least, was the lack of air conditioning in the dining room. By the end of the night, the whole place was like a sauna, and everyone was ripping off whatever clothes they could strip off without appearing indecent sebab peluh bagai nak rak da.
  Despite all this... dengar high occupancy gak tempat ni, mostly comprising of foreigners who want to, get this, get a feel of the authentic of the period. Erm...
Ok then...but I say whatever you're paying for, you just got suckered.
Mungkin meka suka kot panas negara kita...
Walking in the dining room was another wonder. Immediately terbayang Harry Potter lak.
Despite being a moderate sized dining room, it was the only thing in the hotel, which somehow threw me back into that period.Once you ignore the various scents of sweat, it was pretty cool.
With flags of almost all the countries in the world (I didn't count to make sure), hanging up in the high ceiling area, it was rather grandiose in an old fashioned sort of way.
Sempit sikit sampai time nak makan kept bumping into tables, chairs and other people.
Heh...terkejut ada antara orang yang terlibat produksi pembaca blog aku. Malu sih kena tegur..."oooohhh...ko carut aku ari tuh ek"... but in a good humoured sense. Merasalah abang Mamat Khalid antara melaser! (aku puji ma Zombi Kampung Pisang!!!! Walaupun aku carot masa abang jadik pengkritik...heh!)
But that's why I love people in the industry. Most of them are open to criticism, and take it more as a challenge. Abang Mamat mintak ler nasihat skali pasal bab mengkritik bebudak contestant and my take on things...tapi takleh cakap further than that. Apapon... walaupon aku agree ke tak bang, I still stick by what I said to you that silly ke irrelavant apa ko cakap tu from my point of view, you do have your own points laced with your brand of humour. Maybe you get the message across that way better. So it's your style...and your way..apapon keep it up.
Kepada abang ustaz yang slalu baca doa...kalao da jenguk blog, tinggal ler mesej ek. Merasalah!!! Thanks for dropping by. tatau ler ada silent blog reader cam ko. So now abang tau ler sapa klubbkidd. Heh...
Erm...ramai gak yang hadir acara nih. Antara yang membintangi seperti senarai artis kat bawah (Beego MC for the event)... cuma tinggal Umie Aida jer tak sempat snappy pic dia sebab aku kuar masuk time ramah mesra pas makan (sesi ngumpat) sebab panas rasa nak pengsan (partly due to the heat dan juga sebab ngantuk).
Hope korang suka all these pics.
Si Ava lak teruk kualiti pic dia I didn't bother to post sebab lighting gelap and we all know how keji my camera on my Nokia is kan bila dark places nih.
This are those yang aku managed to snap. Ada Haziq (nyanyi dan berlakon ok dalam pilem ni!), Awal, Que (ngantuk sangat sampai tangan Anita jadik mangsa tempat sandar), Beego (suka tay wat muka burok time nak amik pic walaopon tambah smart - psst!!! dengar nak kawin tak lama agik kan...selamat pengantin baru in advance gituh) dan abang Rosyam (pakai ikut tema nampaknya ek bang?)

Hung about and mingles pas event abih...sebenarnya nak balik tapi terpaksa tunggu driver settle sesi ngumpat ngan Lina sebelom berjaya dipaksa balik.
Arghhh!!! Ngantuk gila. Sampai ni terus KO...later...

Jap agik aku explain kenapa title entry aku camtuh ek. Udah pasti punya kaitan dengan cewek di sebelah ini.
Ok first up...memang ari nih relaxed slightly.
I guess I need to kick back a little too sebab kinda worried about my health. Today felt uber lethargic for some reason.
Aku tidur about 13 hours from last night, which is bloody long, even for me.
Felt a little better after the long sleep (ala Rip Van Winkle), tapi as usual kalao tidur lama sangat, badan pon cam jadik malas.
Sluggishly moved to the office. Alamak...esok the big day nak move into the new office, so ari nih nak packing semua barantg-barang.
Ok...so I didn't really pack, Just more like threw everything (breakable or not) into this cardboad box (including my famous disco ball on my desk), and taped my name on it, just like everything else, including my huge screen monitor, keyboard, mouse and CPU. The rest kena move sendiri ler kot.
I have a drawer full of stuff and my autographed poster of Slipknot apart from one or two things, so esok kena masuk opis awal ler camna pon.
Lagikpon paid a visit again to the new place, and couldn't decide which desk I want.
Not too bad ler... already have an idea how I'm going to do my little area up.
Erm...nampaknya kena spending lagik ler nih. Cait... rumah Bangsar pun lum siap...and my bedroom at home in Klang pun tak siap. Aduh...
But seriously, because the new office looks so cool, and we have all the amenities including our own studio (yang penting smoking room!!!) and all... this looks like it's going to be great!!! I'm definitely going to spend more time in the office.... (janji....entah ler jadik ke tak with my running about here and that)
Anyhoo... rushed to TGV KLCC later in the evening untuk premiere filem. Yeap...cewek di atas tuh..sebenarnya bernama Bunga Cintra Lestari.
Kat Indonesia, she's known as a model, tapi kat sini she's making her film debut dalam filem Cinta Pertama.

Erm..ignore the 'Di Bioskop 7 Des 06'. Obviously tuh yang Indonesian release date. Di sini, tayangan filem yang dibawa Tayangan Unggul Sdn Bhd ni akan mula ditayangkan 10 Mei 2007, bersamaan hari Khamis.
First the necessary info.
Story starts immediately selepas pertunangan Abi (Richard Kevin) and Alya (Bunga Citra Lestari).
Selepas Abi menjumpai Alia keadaan dalam tak sedar, and she's admitted to the hospital disebabkan barah otak (tak silap aku), dia bermula membaca buku harian (diary for me and you) Alia.
Dari sana, Abi mula sedari mengenai kehadiran Sunny (Ben Joshua, which is her old school mate which she used to have a crush on, and sort of a on and off relationship from way back then.
Abi nekad mencari Sunny dengan harapan pertemuan mereka dapat sedarkan Alia daripada koma. Sunny dengan izin isterinya Sisi yang sebenarnya berat hati merelakan pemergian suaminya, melawat Alia, and at the same time, the past he left behind.
Kesudahanya? Memang leh nitis air mata.Tapi did I cry like a little girl? Erm...more on that later.

Tajuk : Cinta Pertama
Release Date :10 May 2007
Director : Nayato Fio Nuala
Writer : Titien Wattimena
Staring : Bunga Citra Lestari, Richard Kevin, Ben Joshua, Ratna Ruchia, Varissa Camelia, Heidy Kandou
Released by : Tayangan Unggul
Official website : Cinta Pertama (Maxima Pictures)

Ok...secara jujurnya, I love Ben Joshua (Dealova) punya lakonan. He is basically the heart of this movie for me.
Richard Kevin memang kayu abih ler...pening ngan dia nih. Cam emosi tak jadi for the first half of the movie.
Bunga was ok...tapi kalao ada perbandingan ngan Acha Septriasa (yang ramai minat skang sebab My Heart), I think she did better, walaopon mungkin belum sampai tahap Nirina Zubir. But hey...ni baru debut dia.
And she sings quite well too! More on that later too.
Direction dia ok, tapi editing erm...needs tweaking. Apapun, memang panjang cita ni, so sakit montot ler having to sit through the movie.
Art direction cantik, tapi at times, a little over the top. Cinematography besh, but at times beauty without a reason...but visually a spectacle!
Storyline? Way better than My Heart. So i didn't cry like a little girl, tapi nitis ler airmata sikit sikit gak.
I mean...everyone has a first love time sekolah kan?
I don't know about you guys, but mine didn't end this way, but I suppose if my life was only two hours long (or lesser) like this movie, then I'd want it compressed this way with an ending to make people cry.
Not totally unpredictable, but well done.
My favourite lines from the movie...

Aku merasa diri hlang
Tanpa tau apa yang sudah ku temukan
Aku merasa menemukan
Tanpa tau apa yang aku cari
Dan aku seperti masih mencari
Tanpa tau apa yang sudah hilang

Besh gak ler pilem ni, tapi warning ek...ni tuk meka yang memang suka romantic movies jer. Kalau tak, takut korang montah ijo layan.
Yang spesis romantik cam aku (betul lah!!! korang tak baik tak caya!!!), atau yang tengah dilamun cinta (aku nak cakap cam aku tapi kena hamun kang), atau yang putus cinta, atau yang penah merasakan antara keduanya atau mungkin keduanya sekaligus...this is the film for you memandangkan skang filem semua overdose with horror, action and comedy flicks jer.
I give it a three and a half star, which simply means, wrth RM10 (r whatever the ticket price is for whatever cinema kat tempat korang) ok nak gi layan. Bring along some tissues, and someone special (or some memories of that someone) for maximum impact.
Apapun, here's a trailer for the movie. Hope you guys like it.

Almost to the same effect as Heart, ada album soundtrack for the film, which is actually Bunga's album titled Cinta Pertama. Selain title track, ada gak Aku Tak Mau Sendiri (which is my favourite song of the moment - and tajuk posting ni - so jangan speku lebih aku tengah emo).
It's a very simple and beautiful song. Tapi yang pentingnya her vocals are so expressive here, and since pas movie tuh dia nyanyi sikit, she proved that does indeed have quite a voice.
Amazing... orang kata kita selalu agungkan products from Indonesia, tapi for me, kalao model meka pon vocal preparation tuk buat album pun leh camni, it's impressive no matter how you look at it.
Dan pada orang kita yang asik dok mengeluh pasal kemasukan lagu lagu dan filem asing ni, especially Indonesian products, sila ler buat yang lebih baik tuk pastikan hasil anda lebih bagus.
I mean, no one bising pasal Spiderman 3 masuk panggung kaco rezeki local movies kan? Or how the latest album from whoever the best selling US artiste is, mengugat penjualan album tempatan kan?
So time to get real ler.
Apapon...I may just go and watch this movie again for the full effect without niat nak review ke apa, but to enjoy this wave of emotions from movies like this. Make sure you guys catch it ok.
Bagi meka yang suka lagu-lagu yang aku recommend so far (dulu lagu My Heart pun aku recommend sejak preview filem ni lagi walaopon time tu ERA pun lum mainkan), try listening to this song, Aku Tau Mau Sendiri, which is also the film.
You can watch the music video and listen to the song below.

Aduh...bestnya lagu ni..sapa nak lirik dia sekali, here it is.Senangkan korang nak google nak carikkan. Hope you guys like this song as much as I do.Sempat tak kalao lagu ni jadik lagu tugasan kat Akademi Fantasia minggu terakhir?

Lagu : Aku Tak Mau Sendiri
Penyanyi : Bunga Citra Lestari

Sejak ia pergi dari hidupku
Kumerasa sepi
Dia tinggalkan ku sendiri disini
Tanpa satu yang pasti

Aku tak tahu harus bagaimana
Aku merasa tiada berkawan
Selain dirimu
Selain cintamu

Chorus:
Kirim aku malaikatmu
Biar jadi kawan hidupku
Dan tunjukkan jalan yang memang
Kau pilihkan untukku
Kirim aku malaikatmu
Karena ku sepi berada disini
Dan didunia ini aku tak mau sendiri

Tanpa terasa kuteteskan air mata
Yang tiada berhenti mengiringi
Kisah dihati

Aku tak tahu harus bagaimana
Aku merasa tiada berkawan
Selain dirimu
Selain cintamu

Chorus 2x

Dan didunia ini aku tak mau sendiri

*sniff* *sniff* Emo sat...ok so it's not as poppy as lagu My Heart, but I like it anyway.
Once I finished playing the song like a million times back, simpan balik CD je, aku layan Heroes, episode 21!
Yes, you heard me! The Hard Part, the title of Episode 21 of Heroes and the first part of the season finale memang answers a few questions finally.
Tapi strangely enough, there's a predominant theme of bad mothers. Without giving too much away, there's the mother of the Petrelli boys yang nampak sikit a darker side, Jessica for allowing Linderman to take Micah (ok..so it should be Niki's fault) and also Sylar's mommy (stupid bitch...she practically went and told him to embark on genocide kan?) also appears in this episode. All bad mothers with lousy maternal instincts.
I have a feeling Nathan is going to realise things even though it may be too late sebab I don't think he's that big a dumbass, while everyone else has pretty much been set for their role. For now at least.
One thing confuses me. Looks like the future has already been changed. Sebab Claire da jumpa Parkman along with Sprague dan foster father dia Bennet. Kalao dalam episod lepas, Claire didn't seem to recognise Parkman. Ke problem with continuity nih?

Ok ok...don't want to ramble too long...korang layan sendiri. Tapi kalao korang nak tengok the good and almost human side of Sylar, for those who love his character, you should watch this episode.
Ok...nak sambung pasang balik lagu Aku Tak Mau Sendiri. Mmm...wonder kalau da too late nak SMS dia...

It's Monday. Which meant it was going to be a bloody horrid day. Mondays usually are.
Apapon, not as usual, aku bangun awal, nak gi run some errands. Tension manjang.
Da abih run my errands and all, a little frustrated with the time it took, as well as the impossibility of the whole situation, aku pun hehas ke Astro.
Not risking the stupid beautification exercise yang cause traffic jam tuh (see what happened last week), aku pun ikut jalan belakang, which thankfully, I arrived at Astro in a fraction of the time I took in the past two weeks... tapi still 'awal' seperti biasa.
Sebenarnya malas nak amik pic sangat time time nih, if you've noticed, musim ni memang kureng sangat ler aku nak layan requests for photos from the press conferences on the ritualistic PC every Monday, tapi semalam aku layan gak ler disebabkan chatters kat msjbox yang nak sangat pic Dafi. Tapi aku letak satu jer ler...letih ler nak bebanyak.
I didn't even take more than that anyways, so don't ask for more. Heh...pada sapa yang mintak ni, here it is. Also this is for member kat London yang dok jenguk sini. Heh...

So it's a pretty sucky picture. Wait till my new phone arrives. Until then, stop bitching pasal the quality or lack of, f my pics ek.
Had some stiff to settle kat Astro and left just a little latern than usual. Masa nak gerak lak, spotted some familiar faces. Si Rina dari Sony BMG ada kat Astro.
Mula mula tak perasan dia bak sapa, then realised she'd brought Jac along with her. Erm..Daniel was there... but let's not go there.
So anyways apparently Jac kata ada photography ker wat some promo stuff for Ikon which is coming up. Not too excited about it because some crap names listed there.
So much for the country's best in the music industry taking part.
Back to the office in the searing heat, and once back in the safety of the air conditioned relief of the office, sambung balik keja.
Actually, the outine wouldn't have ben so bad, and I wouldn't have been so agitated kalao aku tak mesej dia.
Wat sakit hati jer. Mmm...but at least an hour or so later, things got sorted out. Why do I feel like I'm just getting way too old for these games? Malas tol la...they really mess up my day when something goes massively wrong. Aahhh!!! Whatever...
Heard Aqidah was going for the Sumolah thingamagij gala night, so decided to pop down to GSC MidValley.
After some fuck-ups there, nearly lost my cool, and tld off some folks for the treatment they were giving us. Bukan je Aqidah kena...member dari Harian Metro pon kena.
Tu lah...kekadang...kalao nak wat gala Hollywood premiere, jangan la wat ala feeling kalao hanya mampu merancang kenduri kahwin kan?
Turned down invites for the show as I was sour by the end of the whole episode. Mana taknya. Kesian si Aqidah tuh...dah ler baru berapa bulan...da kena episode camni. And yang melibatkan orang yang handle event tuh yang eebenarnya kawan.
Kesian dok tunggu tiga jam nak interview tak kesampaian.
So sebagai senir kena la ajar dia speak out. Until she learns to, since I'm there, I have to be responsible for her gak ler.
But times like this makes you appreciate people a lot more.
First up, props to kak Fati and hubby and Aryanna for asking me a few times to join them, despite me insisting that no one would mistake me fir Sharifah Amani (merasalah kak Fati kata it's the haircut that probably makes me look heavier - keji!)
Still, it was cool...and kak Fati...you are a dear and my other mama! Huggies for you!
Now that's one good of how well kids turn out when their parents are strict and yet allow their children to mature on their own. Psstt!!! Aryana...you know you want a tongue stud like mine (matilah kak  Fati bagik aku makan selipar jepun pasni menghasut katanya).
My other shout out goes to Afdlin himself. Sebenarnya, pas the incident, mintak member Harian Metro as well as Aqidah to just go back. Sebab nak jumpa member since Juan ada sekali, so we'd have to hang around anyway (padan muka nak principles sangat sampai kena tunggu the movie nak abih)
Anyhoo...we went to grab a bite a the foodcourt, where they were playing bingit punya cheap-ass techno yang cam fast forwarded Alvin & The Chipmunks punya tribute.
Once we were done, we thought we'd out and have a smoke, and lo and behold, we bumped into Afdlin. Apparently he's seen his own movie (obviously) so many times, he felt the need to step out. Nervous gak ler ni...tunggu reaksi orang.
Apapun, Afdlin asked how's things (yu thought I ditched the movie for a smoke, didn't you...fess up now!)
Told him from start to end what happened...and then some more.
All I can say is, it shed light on some things I was unaware off. Biasalah Afdlin...camni ler. Some people may be plastic as all hell and bodek kuat ker apa...tapi janji, ko sendiri nampak sapa professional dan sapa memang berangan je nak dok industri nih, which is mre than just glam moments.
Props to you for restoring my faith that you haven't lost it. And please oh please... get the little help issues sorted out.
Dan pada pihak yang tak reti keja tuh, membusukkan nama orang lain, you suck. You may think helluva a lot of yourself, but you just suck. And here's tip, beauty, does not refer to kepalsuan tempekan bedak empat inci (matilah naik harga tepung, kalau tampo terus jerebu).
Anyway...good luck Afdlin on Sumolah ok. And yeap...bloggers united! At least for those yang matter anyway and not just THINK they do (you know now kan Afdlin?)
Called it a night. Dramas wear me out. Oh...and obviously didn't bother to watch Diarrhea tonight.

Diarrhea hari ni wat kali prtama aku tengok ada gajah botak. Eh jap...memang gajah pun ada berapa helai rambut je atas pala. Kelas Linda Jasmin kreatif bagik the appropriate animal.
Flashback pasai meka main Zombi Kampung Pisang rupanya bebudak pompuan punya surprise memang tak jadik. You don't say...
Here we go...English class agik... aduh.
Perlu ke all this stress on signature. Takkan ler bebenda camni pon nak rehearse..
Diarrhea berterusan lagik ngan adengan buang masa rehearse lagu keji in Boria AF5. Still tak puas ati sebab aku bebetul nak tengok meka wat lagu tema Phantom Of The Opera. But I guess bebudak tak mampu kot smething yang require real vocals.
Or at least people yang decide lagu ni yang decide kot.
Yawn...nothing much of interest. Aku tak paham tol overdose Mila nak ngan cam ni. Cam tau je perbandingan diri dia ngan Farah, sampai nak bercnta ngan cam sampai camni. Erm...aku kalao tengok Diari susah aku nak appreciate dia. Hanya konsert je aku leh minat.
Tapi dalam gedik Mila, aku nak gelak time dia feeling buat music video ngan kamera. Aduh...pecah perot jap ovrdose drama queen dia.
Bab Ebi cita pasal nak further education ngan Khairul Najmi tuh kenapa halfway tuh edit potong sambung lak ek. Pasal bab kekurangan financial dia pnya status?
Takut ada yang bak AFUNDI kesian kalahkan Aswad ke? Takpe...tabung Bersamamu menunggu ngan statement Ebi belajar pakai lilin masa study dulu.
Cantik gak si Candy nih, tapi dia ni jenis muka yang memang sombong walaopon aku tak nampak pon character dia cantuh yang ramai anggap.
Ulangan bab latihan si Heliza memang tak nampak pon dia leh power camtuh as she was in the konsert. Mana la dapat spirit nih. Somebody teach her where her vpcals should be coming from. Kalau nyanyi ala rock ni sakit tekak, it's obvious, memang teknik nyanyian salah. Kang cedera baru tau.
Raptai ari Jumaat cam biasa je...
Masa konsert lak masa Sabtu...hah..tuk sesaat tuk nampak meka pasang extension rambut Aswad. Kreatif gak campor sapu depan semua yag ada (which is not much)
Argh! Sebut rambut ni ttiba nak close up lak kan!!! Baik wat documentary terus perjalanan pesen rambut Aswad (matila kena carut ngan yang inferiority complex lak pasni ngan male pattern baldness).
Teringat lak cikgu tuition aku tuk Add Maths dulu yang rambut semua sapu kedepan semua camtuh nak cover ruangan legar tuh. Malas peluk ke anging tiup...memang horror movie.
Jahat si Shawal gelak dia. Tapi yang dok sibuk pancing pujian tuh perhal. Heh!
Bab mesej dalam botol tuh...yukky!
Especially bila close up ngan si Aswad. Aduh...anyway got a snapshot of that? CLASSIC! Heh!
Aduh...gelak pecah perut...Chef Rahman Adabi katanya masuk Akademi lagik nak promo produk. Perlu sangat Khairul Najmi yang bak dia. Pandai Akademi mintak dia yang escort.
Lagu tugasan dah kuar!!!

Shawal - Copacabana (Barry Manilow)
Aswad - Langit Biru (Mawi)
Ebi - Bukan Diriku (Samsons)
Mila - (Pudar)
Heliza - Ya Atau Tidak (Erra Fazira)
Candy - Cahaya Cinta (Datuk Siti Nurhaliza)
Shawal & Candy - Menari Denganku (Zahid dan Sarah Raisuddin)
Ebi & Mila - My Heart (Irwansyah & Acha Septriasa)
Aswad & Heliza - Joget Cinta Sakti (Haziq & Rosma)
Lagu bonus -  Let's Dance Together (Melly Goeslaw & Bukan Bintang Biasa (BBB) ), Falsafah Cinta (Ning Baizura & Jamal Abdillah)

Best Shawal punya lagu. Joget ler. Si Aswad...so expected of Astro nak Mawi-kan dia. Ngok tul dia leh kata Langit Biru dia tatau...padahal lagu tuh overdose kat radio sejak ujung tahun lepas. Keji sangat...wat innocent.
Si Ebi memang sesuai!!!! I like I like I like!!! The girls semua kena except for Heliza punya lagu which I think tak sesuai. Well, vocally not a challenge ler, Lagu Erra...how hard can it be.
The duets ok, tapi My Heart cam basi dah lah. Apa la  meka ni.Joget Cinta Sakti was so tak perlu...while Menari Denganku mesti besh tengok Shawal dan Candy together.
Lagu bonus? Boleh jer la....tak paham camna meka pilih lagu nih...

Yesterday night, all three girls kicked ass!!! Memang malam tiga diva as far as I'm concerned and memang sepatutnya ketiga tiga mereka dapat empat lampu biru yang tak ada fungsi feeling nak jadi Tekaria tuh.
While reality is the chances of any of them winning this competition are virtually zero, we can always hope for a miracle yang orang leh ubah dan tak AFUNDI simpati kerana ada kes eksploitasi anak yatim piatu ke... membotak ke....ada anak dua ke...
But don't hld your breaths. Ok ok...on with my review yang di taip kali kedua sebab Mozilla Firefox hampeh hang tanpa sebab mengakibatkan aku terpaksa taip kali kedua (IE rules!)

Semua Pelajar - Boria AF5
Ok, I really don't know what to make of the intro.
It was cheesy yet in a way fun gak. The outfits were nothing short of horrendous, but true to the spirit of the theme.
Dari perform ni, yang vocally cam bebudak sekolah wat persembahan ketika Hari Penyampaian Hadiah Sekolah Rendah Kampung Pelir Hitam (statement ulangan yang popular). Anyway memacam ler contradiction persembahan ni.
Mungkin gak confusion aku pasal persembahan ni because of that animal that appears to have died on Aswad's head, Perhal la letak extension murahan camtuh.
Yes kiddies, that was a piece of extension wig murahan ala mop yang di gam pada pala dia.
Awat kawan ko tu bughok benor Dharma!
Dari the theme song of Phantom of the Opera, how the hell ler meka ni leh pilih this song. Really makes no sense as both choices just dumbs down the kids.
And bila orang terkenangkan musim kedua kerana bebudak perform Memories, dak production semua wonder why lak.
Cam kesial...
Vocally, cam kumpulan Senario pon ada.
 (untuk persembahan bebudak dan  untuk mangkuk hayun yang pilih lagu ni)


Dafi - It's Gonna Be Me (N'Sync)
Pehal la dak ni dipakaian beg plastik sampah itam tuh. They could have gotten better than PVC (or better looking leather yang tak nampak murahan, which is so yesterday, yesteryear even!). Anyway dari saat bukak molt je, it was obvious why he was given this song.
Meka nak wat repeat Amirul ketika Sedang Ingin Bercinta. Kira kalao vocal tak dapat shine, leh la choreography kaburkan mata orang.
Sadly enough, from that aspect, the backing dancers way outshone him. Dahler Corrie ada (besh tengok dia return ke pentas Akademi Fantasia), si Raimee (he is quite a good dancer walaopon dressing ampeh) and Riot (perlu ke?). Have to stress tak paham kenapa Riot dan Kool sibuk sangat...cam ler lagu ni lagu meka. Tak perlu ok!
On that note, ngan dancers outshining him, and vocals yang begitu merdu (if you like the sound of nails on blackboard), ni memang antara show tak perlu of the night. Too bad sebab this was right up his alley, tapi aku awal minggu pun da kata he manages to even make boybands look good...so go figure.
Forget whatever's been said about hard work... results matter. And Ogy was so right pasal him looking lethargic dan tak bermaya.
Deservedly, takde lampu biru. Yes yes...it was going to be him.
 

Mila - Aku Takkan Bersuara (Nike Ardilla)
Walaupun aku tak nampak relevance (hanya kerana title konon) bebudak bisu tu bawah arahan klon Sherry (tengok video tuh balik kalao tak caya), tapi Mila punya performance memang worthy of standing ovation. Not THE best, but definitely ranks as one of her best.
For me her notes were ok, with minimal mistakes, tapi tempo a little out. Still, tu kesilapan kesilapan yang very minor compared to the powerful performance she gave. Not exactly my favourite song, tapi one of the more memorable shows this season.
 

Ebi - Kisah Kau Dan Aku (Alleycats)
Sadly I don't think he performed as well as the critics said he did. Vocally biasa saja, but agree with Loloq that it wasn't easy/
Still, sentap gak tengok Ebi losing out to Aswad because he still has a very sellable package in the real world, but if his performance camni nak masuk final, erm...entahler.
Disappointed.
 

Candy - Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps (Lila Downs)
While I thought she couldn't pull off the whole sexy routine, she did.
I hated the dress yang again cam dari kedai pengantin mana, yang mak andam dia baru siap tanam batu batu lima paket dari SSF lima minit before the show, but everything else looked very period though.
Like Mila, memang performance empat lampu biru sangat ler. She sounded sultry and silky (cam ilan shampoo lak kan). Aku rasa walaopn Ogy kata ada kekurangan sikit seni persembahan dia, again like Mila, minor slips here and there yang forgiveable la sangat.
 

Shawal - Kaulah Segalanya (Hazrul Nizam)
Alamak spoil mood tol bak Razak Mohaideen...after all, we know what great movies he makes kan.
Still it as a nice idea, and Razak acted better than most of the actors he employs and it was a seamless transition ke performance Shawal ang aku rasa memang ala video clip live.
Nice play on lighting!
Vocally? He did the lower ntes quite well, walaopon sora dia ni shaky sikit kekadang.
With all that said, this is one of Shawal's strongest performances so far, and frankly, one of the many better ones to come...I'm sure.
 

Heliza - Kesal (Ella)
Korang perasan tak, semakin kurang penyanyi asal yang mai konsert mingguan skang. I mean...not the popular ones la. Aris Ariwatan doesn't count (so..erm...you understand) and Kool? Who?
Walaupon memula aku gelak abih Norlia Ghani dan Farid Kamil enter frame, aku tetap susah nak enjoy lawak meka sebab dok fokus sangat nak pay attention to Heliza punya moka.
Aku actually da nak putus asa ngan dia with her mundane (being kind here) performances berapa minggu ni. Tambah agik the past week dalam Diarrhea pun azab gak.
But lo and behold!!! The comeback performance of all comeback performances!!!
Walaopon semput dan pancit sikit, dan terpaksa pakai kelambu *urgh!!!* turquoise, memang muslimah rock la (seperti kata Ogy)
Merasalah aku masa tuh tak dok (berdiri kat tepi side wall tuh headbanging cam sakai kena gigit montot ngan kera. Heh!!!! Lantak...janji BEST!
She completed the trio of girls' butt kickin' performance for the night and totally restored my faith in her.
Mintak mintak ler dia keep it up kan.
 

Aswad - Korban Cinta (Aris Ariwatan)
His hair was as nice as his performance, which isn't saying too much really. Yes, yes, memang di confirmkan. Meka terpaksa gam extension raambut palsu kat pala dia, tu yang nampak...erm...well... make your own comments ler ek.
Still it's amazing what an inferiority complex and male pattern baldness can do to your votes.
Vocally he was decent. I say decent sebab everytime dia perform ok, tetap hanya ngan rock kapak yang da lapuk dua puluh tahun lepas.
Kalao Akademi Fantasia wujud tahun 80an dia leh menang kot.
Tapi naya je kalao kali ni ada juara cam dia. Memang sesuai ler orang brand kan juara kampung sebab takkan ke mana.
Kalao dia menang top three, terbukti ler spekulasi yang Astro memang target dia antara champion dari mula lagi sibuk nak push dia dari awal, siap ngan comparisons to Mawi. Surprising? Don't think so...
 

Lagu bonus pelajar perempuan - Joget Lambak (Adam)
Even though I hate the choice of this song, tetapi yang dak pompuan semua pukul abih (pinjam statement Farihad yang popular).
No brainer pop tune yang tak challenging langsung.
 (untuk persembahan bebudak dan  untuk mangkuk jamban yang pilih lagu ni)


Lagu bonus pelajar lelaki - Wajah Rahsia Hati (Fauziah Ahmad Daud)
Dafi and Ebi (especially Dafi) flat gaban part mana meka tak off, si Aswad body language kekongkangan (all through the show la actually) while I cou;dn't really make out Shawal's voice. A waste of time and nothing more.


And the outcome? Yer... tak mengejutkan (at least not for me ler). Ngan push for Aswad gaining momentum ngan konsert minggu lepas, dan isu Diari bab pala dia yang selicin lantai balai ketibaan KLIA tuh, as well as the choice of song which pandered to his limited abilities and the seeming agenda nak push him antara favourite, Aswad melonjak agik.
Ngan minggu depan last week, jangan terkejut kalau ada kezutan dan lebih dari sorang yang tersingkir since au da speku dari awal.
Jadi ke tak tatau le....Astro kan suka kalo orang da predict meka sangup tak buat.
So....vote all out ler next week kalao sayangkan your favourites, because at the moment, Shawal dan Candy, two good performers and with overall package nak berjaya int he business is in danger.

Kedudukan peratusan AFUNDI selepas konsert
Aswad 20%
Mila 16%
Ebi 15%
Heliza 14 %
Candy 12%
Shawal 12%
Dafi 10%

Habih je konsert, kuar ngan the whole gang of kengkawan, more than dozen of us, tuk bersidang skali lagik tuk sesi carutan post concert. Kali ni kami di join oleh Aznil and Co. Thanks again so much Aznil for spending the time and explaining so much.
Walaopon kekadang geram gimik ko tak menjadi, you still rock, and definitely...without a doubt, you ARE part of Akademi Fantasia, no matter ada yang suka ke tak. No one can deny that.
Dan tima kasih Aznil kerana mengiktiraf the term DIARRHEA! Matilah carutan katanya yang diterima with a touch of humour. You rock la!
Ok ok...sambung later or esok ok...

Hari ni malas nak layan Diarrhea.
Instead, nak layan balik Heroes dan skali review. Watched Episode 20 titled Five Years Gone a few days ago and wanted to review it, but didn't know how.
Awmigawd!!! Honestly, how do you review ths episode! Everything in it is a potential spoiler. Tim Kring has kept his word that season one of Heroes will be made up of three episodes, so episode 21, 22 and 23 will be a three in one special finale episode broken up.
And in episode 20, it's a spoiler of sorts over how many Heroes are actually going to die. A total of FOUR!!! Including some characters I absolutely adore. Shit!
And no, Sylar is NOT one of them.
In fact, if you have watched episode 18 (sucks to be you ler kalao masih tunggu Astro tayangkan), you would of course have witnessed that minor showdown of Sylar versus Peter kan? Ni ada agik...
Erm...the episode if titled Five Years Gone sebab Hiro has gne into the future, and basically, you've time travelled to the ending of the season. So banyak sangat spoilers over how things will turn out. Or so we're led to believe.

Aduh! Seriously mind boggling siot episode kali ni. And they think TV is supposed to be relaxing?
It's been that long since a TV show piqued my interest, and has kept it up twenty episode later, if not increased it to the levels of fanaticism. Rugi tol sapa tak tengok.
Forget Lost ke 24 ke...Prison Break ke. Heroes is the only show yu HAVE to watch.
Pada sapa yang kaki Heroes, and you guys, like me, are suckers for punishment dan nak tau spoiler tuk the final three episodes, Entertainment Weekly magazine ada wat special coverage with hints and spoilers siot.
Yang pentingnya, siap ada outline for musim kedua which will be called Generations.
And for that, they've come out with a series of five covers for EW (gila ke haper!...but good luck getting them all here)
But the covers are so awesome aku tamau kecikkan the pics, so enjoy them.

Funky assed covers! Best gila tengok!!! Kalao korang layan Heroes dan nak tau sangat spoilers or wanna get more hints on what's going to happen, head over to the Entertainment Weekly site for their cover story.
Be warned though, memang banyak sangat ler info pasal upcoming episodes as well as a little on the upcoming season. So don't say you weren't warned. Kalao nak tau gak, CLICK HERE to read.
Argh...need some brainless entertainment. Time to watch the end of The Pussycat Dolls Presents : The Search For The Next Doll. Sapa yang gatal bagik spoiler Asia menang sebelom aku sempat download the final episode arituh? Keji!!! Skang da tak surprise agik...
And also my dose of America's Next Top Model cycle 8 yang aku abaikan for last week since Heroes made a return.
Oh back on Heroes, also CLICK HERE for the official site for more info or watch streaming video.
