TGIF

Cam tak percaya da end of the second week da. Esok da nak Konsert Akademi Fantasia minggu kedua. Time is moving so bloody fast. Before you know it, another season is over. Lagik merasalah aku kali ni sebab kali ni memang tiap hari makan, minum, tidur Akademi Fantasia - apart from other bodily functions. Heh!

Today was evaluation and all.. the kids did quite ok, though some quite scary sebab for some reason they kept repeating mistakes they made the beginning of the week. Some of them seem quite prepared though and I think they will be the ones to wow tomorrow cause cam no hal jer, tak kuar peluh pun leh deliver.

Anyway, abih je, aku da kak Mah borak je keja. Lepak sambil semua prepare gi venue tuk rehearsal for tomorrow's concert. Aku refuse nak tengok any of the rehearsal sebab kalao leh, malam minggu time konsert, aku dapat feel what everyone else is... kalao tak kang no surprise lak.

So what did we do? Apart from borak... for some reason, kak Mah nya IC jadik mangsa.

Bangga tuh...awat moka lain je dalam IC innocent abih!


Tuh dia! Moka manis tak evil *larik!*


Yang penting Sarimah siap tayang diver card dia. Pic lain - motif baju sama... walaupun beza amik pic setahun???!!!


Yes... she says she looks better now. We agree....don't we? Katanya.... walaoponnnn... *merasalah!*


Aku takyah carut... heh... merasalah carut diri sendiri dedahkan pic IC bagai. Anyway, since we on a pic tip, ni dia pic tamu yang korang nampak dalam Diari hari ni, yang mai bertandang petang smalam, si Adam dan Nubhan.

Dua jantan macho tapi... *larik!*


Adam dulu masa Akademi Fantasiamusim kedua tempat lain.. not really homecoming lor


Ngan keta dia. Love the new paintwork! Makan hati six tone!!!


"Dah la tuh.. asik snappy jerk!"


Aku lepak ngan some friends malam ni kat Shah Alam. Biasalah... hari ni je sempat bebetol lepak.

Korang layan Diari ok. By the way... takde orang lak tanya kan, sapa Aizuddin yang asik disebut bebudak. Heh! Aku tau tapi aku tanak cakap. Tuh rahsia bebudak. Sapa nak tau.. teka dulu. Sapa kena memang hebat!

By the way... aku malas rungutan ada yang mengatakan Diari cam fokus sangat Rini dan Aril. Come on la guys. Bukan cam bebudak lain tak dapat airtime. But kan ada storyline. An UNSCRIPTED storyline. Things happen, so we just go with the flow dan tampilkan apa yang berlaku that's of interest lah.

Malas tol kalao ada yang masih tak paham konsep mesej mesej aku merungut beriya. And then tetap nak gak pendapat dia betol. Matilah... sat agik memang aku call Maxis block nombor nombor tertentu.

Okla... korang layan Diari. Banyak lak aku nak meroyan tak henti kang.

Night guys... and gals.


PS - Sorry video quality for Diari tak elok seperti biasa. Uploader emeraldL01 slow sikit hari ni so terpaksa pakai uploader lain. From tomorrow on back to normal.

PPS - Love Ida's class! Ynag improv acting tuh! Aduh.. pecah perot smalam. Rugi Diari smalam tak cukup masa nak tunjuk penuh. Lama but memang kelakar.

Sayang... you can dance???!!!

Been tired running about ada hal sana sini. But malam tadi more so lor.

It's Indonesian themed week! My 'twin', Leo is in town, with Danny. So smalam lepak ngan meka kejap cause couldn't make it the night before sebab ada benda nak settle.

Yeay!! Leo got me a Project Pop CD. It's their compilation CD called Top of the Pop or something like that. Also some stuff he bought in Bali for me.

Pas tuh, rushed to Pavilion to see another Indonesian friend who was in town. Samuel Rizal!!! Gawd this dude is the best! Dia ni memang gila gila happy go lucky. So seronok dapat jumpa Sammy again cause the last time jumpa dia was about a year ago when he was in town pas shooting Sayang You Can Dance. And since this time he's only here a couple of days tak dapat lepak pun.

Anyway, thank to the invitation from kak Fati, joined her and uncle Rashid for the gala premiere of the event, which of course had Nani, Sammy, Dafi... ramai ler.

Also managed to catch up with friends there sebab ramai yang da lama tak jumpa, hadir.

On to pics je la.

The cast of Sayang You Can Dance



Camelia pun ada. Last jumpa dia pun da setahun


Adam joined to lend moral support


Don't you think Nani looks so damn sweet!


Soon to be mommy Leya. Due in June with TWINS!!!


Part of the happy family. Kak Fati is like another mummy so extended family betul la kiranya


Pas settle borak kat luar and they finished speeches and stuff, we all went in for the movie. Or otherwise, more camwhoring while waiting for the movie to begin (selain dari mengumpat apa yang patut la)

Marsha and Ajai


My other parents


Cam and her manager Magie


Samuel and I dok next to each other - and had the worst picture of me ever taken done. Argh..!!!!!! This is a case of bad angle!!! I look like a freaking beached whale!!!


Leya pun nak tau!!!


Anyway the movie was ok. Not disappointed, but it left a weird feeling cause the basics of a good popcorn movie was there, but lacking some punch. I don't know.

Technically the film was alright. Storyline a little cliche, editing was a little dodgy, choreography a tad disappointing and acting some of the cast members below par.

But it's got Sammy and Nani, so it was good enough for me. Go watch it. Worth it. Especially to catch the Yasmin Ahmad cameo tuh yang best!

Yawn.. ok la guys.. I need to turn in. The week is only beginning for me when it's ending for others. Esok aku ada lagik benda nak post. It's going to start.... by the way, jangan lupa Tirai Akademi Fantasia starts tomorrow night. The programme info semua on the right side punya sidebar. Later....


PS - Did catch up TV and watched Idol (predicted right for the third group and knew Jasmine and Anube would get in - THANK GOD Tatitana didn't), Heroes (pening siot.. every week cliffhanger memang suspen), America's Next Top Model cycle 12 (Tyra is so freaking cheesy!!!) and a couple of movies.

PPS - Faz shooting a telemovie so we all busy. Just one of those times...

Pesta Malam Indonesia 2 - Part 2 (The Sheila On 7 special)

Told you the last entry was going to be heavy with pics. For fans of Samsons, hope you guys are happy with it. Susah nak rock out while trying to take some nice pics.

Anyway, nak relate sikit ler. Actually, honestly, dulu aku tak penah minat Samsons. Album pertama was so so jer for me, nothing great. And I used to hate Kenangan Terindah... didn't help that my ex had a caller ringtone with that, sampai horror bila aku dengar lagu tuh meluat aku teringat dia. Heh.. matilah.

But their amazing direction in their second album Penantian Hidup made me a fan. Nay, a groupie! And friend of Samsons! And I'm proud to say that because they are a bunch of talented boys.

But before I discovered Samsons, aku tak penah la gila muzik Indonesia except for another band. Sheila On 7.

Their songs were inspirational in a poetic delivery of emotions.

Eross was one of the biggest songwriters for me for his uncanny ability to capture everything with his music and the right choice of words.

Even Irfan, the brains behind Samsons pun minat Eross, and the first time I met Irfan, we chatted about Eross and his tunes as well. And perhaps that's another reason why I like Samsons' songs. Sebab their directon in material was going the right way.

Anyway, lepas Samsons perform during Pesta Malam Indonesia 2, the next band up was Sheila On 7.

Tengah say bye to Bam masa pas Samsons performed, aku perasan bebudak Sheila On 7 getting ready. Aku so preoccupied with Samsons, my favourite band now, that aku leh tak perasan possibly one of the best Indo rock bands to come out of Indonesia.. EVER!

Spotted Eross, Adam and Duta. Sempat borak ngan Adam, whom I last met YEARS ago masa Anugerah Industri Muzik. Kesian dia masih ada fever sikit. Kol 3 pagik on the day of the show, he had to have a jab, and another later in the morning.

But he was ok by showtime, and Sheila On 7 which is on a comeback trail, is back with a vengeance. They proved that they still have the most charisma onstage and were able to rock it out with the best of them.

Aku salute meka for their mettle onstage. Tapi bab Duta memang dia sora dan performace dia still tops. Eross pun still has lots of his magic, and meka berjaya pikat audience.

Ada dua tiga kali masa show, crowd unruly sikit leh gaduh, mesti kes moshing sentap menyentap gituh. But they managed to calm the audience down, and even joked about until everyone settled down. Amazing!




It was indeed a learning experience seeing Sheila On 7. Tuk aku meka the experienced hands now, and Samsons the new generation, but both bands in my eyes, are equal for their beauty of delivery on and offstage.

Enough with the text for this entry. Just enjoy the pics, and the excellent showmanship. Oh, and the pics kat bawah with Irfan tuh, masa dia join kita in the pit, sebab dia pun nak tengok show his idols. So we ended up headbanging together.

Rockin'!!!!

































So for fans of Sheila On 7 harap terubat rindu korang ler. Look out for their upcoming new album. It's going to be great! Eh.. banyaknya pics... korang tau tak berejam nak transfer, edit, upload dan link. Really hope you guys like all the pics. I know I do.

Wait for the last entry on everything else on Pesta Malam indonesia 2. Tribute aku pada my two fave bands da complete.

Until the next entry coming up... ciao!
