Karaoke and crap

Went out with my friend Bernard. Ingat nak sambung clubbing cam smalam nak lupakan all the bull I'm going through. Tapi dalam perjalanan nak lepak kat Bangsar ngan dia sebelom we make our way to the dancefloor, dapat panggilan dari kawan.

Katanya ada pertandingan karaoke, nak kita jadik judge. Selepas dua tiga kali dia call, tak sampai hati nak say no, so iyakan jer lah kan.

Rushed, and sampai just as they were starting.

Now generally I hate karaoke competitions.

Now I know why.

It was BORING! Bad choice of songs, worse singing and even more dreaful dressing.
Pertandingan ni kat Uptown Danau Kota, and I was surprised that there was like over twenty contestants in the final.

Layan...

Erm... realised a few things. Tatau ler aku imagine ker haper.

But jahat gak bebudak jaga snoke machine ni ek.

Everytime ada peserta yang erm... kurang elok naik stage, mesti dapat effect smoke machine.

Mula mula ingat gimik.. lama lama cam carutan lak.

Cam nak cover muka peserta lak. Heh..."you've been smoked!!!"

Smokescreen takyah tengok muka kot.

Jahat kan!!!

Anyway... the competition took almost four and a half hours. And I think I've now gone deaf.

Daripada ramai ramai tuh, I think only two were decent... not even good.

Oh well...lap telinga yang da berdarah abih ni jap ek.

In the end, among the top three, ada lak dak nyanyi sumbang nak mampos ni. Erm.. malas nak cakap apa, tapi rasanya ada pihak yang 'untung' malam semalam pas competition. Oops... geli lak aku nak judge kan competition nak selit orang yang di menangkan.

And it wasn't too different from another competition going on at the same time.

Got updates from Bernard yang communicate ngan member yang layan Festival Filem Malaysia.

So much for Ke Arah Kecemerlangan Filem Malaysia.. Cinta won Best Film, which I don't really mind.

But Shuhaimi Baba again for Best Director? You've got to be joking! For that piece of crap called

Waris Jari Hantu? Let's face it, they'll never let Yasmin Ahmad win. PERIOD!

Strange kan how our talents are celebrated by the world, and yet, back home, reality is so much more different.

Best original story? Waris Jari Hantu? Come on!

Sheesh... dah la nomination ngarut 13 in total. Tak kena tol.

Whatever. Mukhsin nak overlook sangat... lantak la. Kalau baru ni Mukhsin leh menang silver award kat NETPAC Festiva at Jogjakarta... FFM nampaknya tak lama lagik obsolete la.

Wat syok sendiri stakat nak puji effort yang takde pembaharuan atau revolutionary at all. As good as a two bit karaoke competition at the end of the day. Only difference is, at least that competition takde la result ngarut AND televise for Malaysia to see.

Local Oscars konon... cam kesial...

The world recognises us in our talents, and we? Our own industry recognises mediocre standard movies, whcih are equivalent to made for TV shite.
