Sehati Berdansa - Tipu Kanan Tipu Kiri

Today actually felt like a regular work day for me! Not that I've had one since going freelance, for six months and two days now I think.

First destination hari ni - Mandarin Oriental nak ke press conference Sehati Berdansa 2. They announced the ten couples who will be taking part this season.




As usual too lazy to get close up shots, tapi kalao korang tertanya siapa yang akan bertanding tahun ni, here are the couples.



Representing various charities kali ni will be Mazin & Manisa, Shahril Arsat & Noraini Morat, Ashed (Def Gab C) & Shima, Sasha & Salyo, Lisdawati & Fauzi Nawawi, Jamal & Faridah, Amyza Adnan & Izhar, Shahrin & Sabrina Ali, Ani Mayuni & Zairi dan Khai & Rosma.

Of course aku kena backing tiga couples la. Namely Khai and Rosma sebab kengkawan nya pasal, also another newly wed and very cute couple Sasha and Salyo, selain Shahril Arsat and wifey Noraini sebab Shahril dulu budak pemain Selangor yang geng gak!

All the best to the couples. Three more days to the beginning of this season so get out your dancing shoes! For more info or updates, CLICK HERE for the official website.

The event was enjoyable enough despite the horredous lack of parking spots avaiable. Entah kenapa area Mandarin Oriental parking semua full, dari outdoor ke indoor. Pas setengah jam baru dapat tempat letak keta. Tu la akibat bak keta gedabak mak bapak nya besau!

Pas done, rushed in the rain to 1 Utama for the premiere of Tipu Kiri Tipu Kanan, a new movie which is a joint project antara Malaysia dan Indonesia. Here are some pics first.

So how was the movie? Erm.. tul ke you guys want a review? Ok i can only give you three helpful tips on how I rate this movie without being sarcastic.


One - it's as good as filem Diva sebelom ni. Damn! And I said I wasn't going to be sarcastic. But well, if you've watched Diva, and love anything about it, you'll love this (how's that for being positive?)

Two - Erm... they say if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all kan? So erm... my hotdog, corn in a cup and ice lemon tea was good during the movie.

Three - Found THIS REVIEW online which I think gives a very accurate view of Tipu Kanan Tipu Kiri, so takyah aku repeat myself la kan.

But for those yang malas masuk sana, I quote from this Indonesian reviewer who says, "Film ini hasil kreatif Tarantella Pictures, sebuah Production House asal Negeri Jiran. Digarap dengan nuansa khas Bollywood yang dimix dengan dua budaya Negara serumpun namun berbedza bahasa: Malaysia dan Indonesia. Produksi Malaysia, pelakonnya dari Indonesia, kreatornya orang-orang India. Nah, bagaimana jadinya? Umpamanya makanan, maka terhidanglah gado-gado rasa coklat. Gimana rasanya? Enak kagak? Menurut Mpok Lena, “Wah, mana ada gado-gado dicampur coklat. Bisa-bisa Lu mencret 7 hari 7 malam, Mas,” katanya dengan nada heran.

Mersalah, cirit tujuh hari tujuh malam. Matilah kau... *guling sambil pegang perut gelak*

Or how about this quote.

"Lahir dari dalam tempurung kepala orang India, film ini berhasil muncul sebagai produk gagal dari Bollywood. Meski susah payah Sharad menghadirkan artistik yang penuh rumbai di sana sini ala karnaval panggung dangdutan khas Bombay, akting kocak bodoh ala India, lenggak lenggok tak karuan, dramatisasi berlebihan, serta iringan musik disco remix ala Yopie Latul (si pelantun lagu: poco-poco), namun film ini hanya mampu hadir seperti sebuah usaha berkarya yang mubadzir. Padahal, konon sinematografer Tipu Kanan Tipu Kiri adalah penggarap film Kuch Kuch Hotta Hai yang pernah menggetarkan Mpok Lena dan sekutu-sekutunya (ini pengakuan jujur dari Mpok Lena lho)."

Heh... enjoy the movie if you decide to watch it. Tima kasih David Teo, Azahari and the Metrowealth guys for inviting me. Good luck with the movie (matilah jangan kata aku mencarut ek.. heh!)

Headed to Pelita in what became a massive storm and got stuck there for a couple of hours ngan Faz, Jue and Jiji.

Balik je, KO terus..

Oh by the way. Had some sort of a meeting in between. Mmm.. good news coming? I think the rainbow I saw yesterday was a good omen. But we'll have to see about that. Will tell you guys when the time is right.
