Ok...semalam was actually fun. So much fun my head is still hurting sebab hangover siot!

It's been a while since aku minum, which I quit actually...but yesterday became quite an exception for me sebab yer lah kan...nak kononnya enjoy and forget my problems and have some fun partying out kat Planet Hollywood. Tuk sapa yang clueless tu, it was the Zahid & Friends Sunday Nite Live showcase at Planet Hollywood.

Mula-mula da planning gi ngan Juan Danza. Kita gi melantak makan kat Bukit Bintang dinner dulu before we made our way there. Aku rasa cam the party was not going to happen sebab ajak Sultan Muzaffar, dia lak malas nak kuar kata letih nak tidur. Abih makan je dapat call dari Bob yang da nak sampai pun pas janji siang tadi.

So pegi depan Planet meet up with Bob, terus turun ke basement level. Crowd da start...and better than usual...aku dapat my table right in the centre of everything (thanks Bridget).

Tapi sebab serempak ngan Rozina dari Astro and gang along with Hakim and all, thought I'd just join them at their table as there was space.

Mula-mula tak perasan Mat Salleh dua orang kat meja tu...until we were introduced.

Rupa-rupanya si Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees along with his manager. Turns out since I haven't been working and on leave the past week, mamat ni mai KL sebab dok promosi album solo dia, Whisper That Way.

So dok, sempat ler sembang-sembang ngan dia ler.

Tapi seronok gak tengok ramai play groupie melayan dia...last-last tanak ketinggalan aku pun meng'groupie'kan diri after a slight chat. Amik pics ler apa agik...

One for the album



Serempak mama dan papa Zahid, my lovely parents angkat. Beshnya dapat jumpa meka.

Adus...kena laser mama lak sebab lama tak jumpa meka. Kena janji to make time...

So anyway...just as the show nak start, the crowd around our table grew. Anggota keluarga Fantasia mula mai sorang-sorang. First Bob...then Anding, Ikram dan Fitri wat appearance lak.

Then Nija popped up. Celah-celah tu, Nila Kurnia era.fm muncul.

Lum pe-pe, Linda Jasmine and Co. joined up. Show baru start, si Yazer dan Kefli join kami lak.
Sayang Amylea dok jauh sikit tak join up...

Er...let's see...sapa agik aku lupa ah? Rasanya that's it kot...Here are some pics of some of them sempat aku rakamkan.

Wakil tiga generasi Akademi Fantasia yang hadir







Perasan ganas ngan Yazer!



So, the night was great...especially the head-baging sets mosh ngan si Yazer.

Tapi the best part was masa tengah break tu...semua malas dok tengah tu...we all moved to the corner of the kitchen dan semua joget lambak ler.

Ramai lak orang mai join. Abang Aman Maestro (abang World ler tuh), Awal dan Sazzy Beat TV pon ada rupanya! Kak Lina Maestro dan laki dia skali. Aypul PA Zahid pon on off stray to our section. The show rocked on...and I have to say...it was one of the best night I've had in a long time (though the hangover makes me regret that)

Then there were the many other blogger friends that popped up. I must make a note to somehow get a bloggers gathering going soon (thank you SM for initiating the 'pilot' project in this week's Gol & Gincu movie outing)

Later masa show da masuk the last couple of tracks, Fuad lak muncul.

But I suppose the best part was seeing all three generations of Akademi Fantasia naik pentas tok join in with Zahid, Farah, Nana dan Adam for Menuju Puncak.

Nostalgic siot! Mana taknya....all three seasons aku ikut these kids from the first day (season one tu halfway ler actually). But I mean...they're more of individuals...and friends (most of em anyway) to me than anything else, and quite a few...my adik beradik da. Tapi takler sampai shed a tear. I'm not that sentimental.

Balik singgah Uncle Don. The list of those present included moi, Juan, Bob, Anding, Fitri, Ikram, Awal, Sazzy, Lina and hubby in tow (did I get everyone?)

Ingat pas makan nak ciao...tiba-tiba ada lagi some friends dropped by so semua sok sek. Dekat kul 4 pagi baru semua nak gerak balik. Mana taknya...Uncle Don punya sound system sibuk pasang Sheila On 7 dan Peterpan je...so smuer dok layan ler. Closing anthem (for us ler sebelum balik) was Pupus by Dewa lak...huh! Tu ler effect Akademi Fantasia.

So after everyone went their own ways, popped by the office.

Adik angkat lak hantar mesej ngadu masaalah. Dok counselling lak for almost two hours. Dia ni budak Ipoh aku da kenal kira over a year da....tapi dia ni study KL. He's a stubborn SOB and susah nak dengar nasihat. Hah! Dah terkena baru nak ngadu ngan aku. Layan ler sementara wat blog ni.

Anyway...plan to sleep the whole day...malas nak ke mana-mana...walaopon bebudak ajak ke press conference Jeff Timmons.

By the way...got some new pics of Mawi throughout stay dia in Johor over the past week plus. Gambar-gambar ni dari aktiviti dia pada hari Sabtu dan Ahad, which is semalam and the day before.

Kesian siot tengok pics dia...bukan apa...keluar saja Akademi no rest langsung...

Tengok jer ler pic kat bawah...muka dia da cam blur abih!

He looks so lost! Everyone's just pushing him around....

Hopefully for his sake, dia dapat ler rehat sikit pasni (fat chance) but I think he's got a burnout lying ahead if he doesn't have time to chill out soon. I mean...it's almost ridiculous how his schedule seems endless, siot!

Mamat ni collapse kang...either that or he goes Looney Tunes soon.

Can we all chime together, "Cuckoo?"


Kalau nak tengok pics lain Mawi di Johor - as usual, click [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages!.
