Maharani - reissued!

Today was one of the busiest days....and I mean ever. Dari pagi berkejar nak abihkan a couple of stories I was working on. And we're talking full length features, not those short news snippets.

Matilah...

Not to mention my workload selain tuh also included the dateline for my column, which all had to be done and sent in by 3pm sebab nak rush lak gi assignment. Merasalah kelam kabut segalanya.

Still, managed to settle everything just fine, and made it for the launch of Nikki's Maharani repackaged just in time. Kudos to Artistes United Records for the small and cosy event which understandably much of the credit went to Vernon and also Azmie. To make it short and sweet, for those yang belum beli album Nikki, here's the info on the reissue of the album yang kini ada bonus single Drama, sekali ngan dua music videos which is for Caramu featuring Zahid and also Imaginasil Collector's item tuh.

Maharani is now on sale for RM15.90 for a cassette and RM29.90 tuk CD.

I recommend CD (masih ada ek yang beli kaset?) because not only it features all the tracks from the album, tapi also ada sebelas remix baru (I love the new mix of Caramu), minus one dan of course the music video and lagu Drama.

Executive producer credits go to Ning, and producers are Vernon and Michael Ang.

So tunggu apa lagi? And by the way, sapa nak help promote the release of the album, here's a banner that you guys can put up. Kalau korang nak link directly the URL of the image above pun no hal. Spread it far and wide (lucah jer bunyinya kan?)

Anyhoo...aku ada wat video performance Nikki time event tuh, tapi seperti biasa aku masih lom siap. Bertimbun keja punya pasal nanti aku letak ler ek.

Lagikpun aku masih utang video Diya kuar ari tuh lagik kan...so tunggu nanti aku letak ler semua sekali. Isnon lak kena interview yang terkeluar agik...so aku rasa aku letak dua video sekali gus kot ler next week ek.

Plus Nikki punya kira tiga sekali la. Nampaknya posting video clip ler akan datang kang.
Anyways the poolside loungy event besh sebab ramai kawan hadir.

Ada special guest agik dari nun jauh dari pantai timur in Mimirinie seorang blogger yang memang minat Ning mai skali nak meriahkan majlis. Tuk sapa yang tak penah tengok rupa dia...tu dia kat sebelah ni. Merasalah carut plastic bag Mydin (you either understand it or not).

Also there was si Juan, Ajami, Kash and Judd.

Then of course ada abang Badand Shonny yang wakilkan f-ter-six Records, syarikat pengurusan dan rakaman yang Diddy bernaung skang. Dua orang bloggers in Budiey dan sultanmuzaffar lak tak dapat hadirkan diri kerana tugas.

Didn't take much pics sebab sibuk nak wat video, tapi last last battery laptop lak low malas nak punggah semua adapter kuar nak charge kan balik, so ended up with only a few fuzzy pics with my Nokia (kena abihkan proposal cepat tuk dapatkan phone baru yang ditaja nih)

So hope you guys maapan ek sebab setakat nih jer pic yang mampu aku amik. These are of the bloggers yang hadirkan diri though gelap je semacam pic ni (ni mesti kes tak diterima cahaya - matilah aku kena maki pasnih!)

Pas abih semua, dah semua da puas menganyam ketupat (gosip wat dosa lebih), we all decided to make a move for KLCC. Sebenarnya au tak plan nak ke mana pun cuma nak gi jalan ngan Mimi sebab bukan slalu dia turun KL.

Tapi atas ajak Ning, yang sekali ngan Yanie as well abang Bad dan Shonny as well..joined them for the M.A.C Spring collection launch themed 'Barbie Loves M.A.C' kat concourse Suria KLCC.

Jam sepanjang jalan....but in the end sampai je tengok..pergh!!! Meriah ok!

Gawd...a lot of friends were there kalangan cosmetic industry....and member artis pun ramai. Nita, Jac, Syafinaz, Nabila, Farahdhiya, Betty Banafe, Sheila Rusly, Sharifah Shahirah...

I spent most of the time with Nabila and a little more with Jac, Faradhiya and Syafinaz sebab kami make a beeline for the photo booth syok sendiri amik pics free. Had so much fun, again forgot to take more pics...so these are the few yang aku leh kongsi.

Ning with Jac and Yanie. Then with Syafinaz. Oops..sorry Faradhiya gambo candid...wat muka tuh! Heh!!

Pada yang tanya mana ulasan Diarrhea...sori ler....missed it again. No regrets though because it was a fun night. After we finished (yeay! dapat M.A.C Pro card...20% off M.A.C products pasni!) gi melantak supper with some friends and called it a night. More tomorrow...
