So-lame-lah obsession!

Seperti sudah diberitahu... senarai lagu tugasan yang diberikan adalah hanya gimik. Apa tujuan gimik tersebut except for wasting time, I have no idea.

But memang at least dari semalam nampak ler reaksi students semalam camna when caught off guard.

Salima la paling kecoh dan gedik sekali... but didn't expect much from her. Apapun, ni senarai lagu sebenar.

Aku sebenarnya tak setuju ngan lagu untuk Farhan dan Faizal kerana itu kekuatan meka dan patutnya meka ditonjolkan lagi kebolehan mereka dengan lagu lebh mencabar. Seperti juga Lotter.

Haziq lak dapat lagu membantu because it's right up his alley ngan gaya stereotype dia manakala si Rich punya tugasan Mustika seolah untuk membantu dia keran hampir pasti dia akan terkeluar minggu ini because of the pathetic performances he's given over the past two weeks.

Padan muka Salima dapat lagu gedik lagi... untuk menampakkan kegedikan semulajadi dia.

After all... that seems her ony talent. She can't sing for nuts...and she's not even good looking... so godik a ek So-lame-lah...you'll always be Suck-lima to us...

Zila won't be challenged much, but while Teman Tapi Mesra kira agu yang senang, it will show kemampuan Velvet untuk have fun and nt just be a powerful singer.

Diddy dapat what I think is the best song of the week, so here's hopiing he will use of this opportunity.

Laporan Diari akan dipost malam ni.

Rich - Mustika (M.Nasir)
Lotter - Iris (Awie)
Haziq - Cinta Nusantara (Sheqal)
Amirul - Yesterday (The Beatles)
Salima - Obsesi (Juliana Banos)
Farhan - Still Got The Blues (Gary Moore)
Diddy - Memori Luka (Headwind)
Faizal - Blues Terengganu Kita (Iklim)
Velvet - Teman Tapi Mesra (Ratu)
Zila - Tak Tercapai Akalmu (Elyana)

Kali terakhir? Or Tora datang lagi!!!!

I know everyone's written about this, tapi yerlah...kira civic duty nak war-wakan about the upcoming Akademi Fantasia auditions.

Rasanya kalao korang ada Astro, takyah ler sesapa announce...dah banjir semua channel ngan iklan tuk ujibakat.

Why am I not keen on it?

Cause I doubt that the fifth season of Akademi Fantasia will be much different from last season yang hancus gila babs.

Still...there are A FEW worthy valuable people in the production team yang harapnya mampu membawa kelainan pada musim ni. Yerlah...jangan harap tiga musim meletops...terus rilek jer kan?

Banyak aspek perlu diperbaiki, you don't just rest on your laurels.

But then again...for some...laurels are a good place to rest...so lantaklah.

Just a few months of non-fame, Faizal da pun nak ada pengganti takhtanya sebagai juara. Lain lah dari Vince, Zahid and also Mawi, yang leh kira tahan gak sampai ari nih.

But for those of you yang masih nak cuba nasib...apa salahnya kan?

Just learn from the mistakes of the past...I mean seriously...how can people watch previous seasons tapi still masuk Akademi bangang nak mampos with the same act...over...and over...and over...thinking that the viewing public will be taken in.

Yerlah...yang selection pun kena pandai sikit. Jangan pikir nak lawa jer...tapi sora very the tak kemana.

Jangan lak pilih sedara mara....oops!!!

For those yang nak audition...here are the details. Just head to ASTRO, Bukit Jalil (13 & 14 Jan as well as 3 & 4 Feb for those yang around Klang Valley atau kawasan kawasan sewaktu dengannya.

Pendaftaran akan dibuka mulai 9am to 1pm

Please...make it easier for yourselves...(bertahun cakap sama jer tiap kali) ngan email segala butiran ke tac@astro.com.my atau hubungi TAC Team di talian 03-95436688 ext 2539, 2552 atau 2253.\

Bawa foto terkini anda (abih nak bak foto sapa lak kan???) bersaiz 3R, salinan kad pengenalan (nak buktikan korang bukan bangla). Pastikan ko berumur antara 18 dan 27 tahun pada 1 Jan 2007.

Lagu wajib bagi peserta lelaki : Diari Seorang Lelaki (Pretty Ugly), Kian (Mawi), Dealova (Once) dan Lonely No More (Rob Thomas).

Untuk peserta perempuan, Teman Tapi Mesra (Ratu), Biarlah Rahsia (Datuk Siti Nurhaliza), Langit Ke Tujuh (Sharifah Zarina) dan Because Of You (Kelly Clarkson).

Kenapa takde lagu dari bintang Akademi Fantasia lain selain Mawi...tak endorse ke hasil keja bakat meka pilih??? (gelak sat...)

Jangan berlengah lagi. Inilah peluang TERAKHIR anda ke Akademi Fantasia! So they say...to let everyone this may be the last go. Mmmm....penting ke emotional blackmail gituh....

Oh well...

For those yang nak pergi, ni aku recycle tips aku leh berikan tuk meka yang nak prepare to go for auditions. This is based on previous auditions process...and since website Akademi Fantasia (CLICK HERE TUK BUKTI) TAK PERNAH diupdate kecuali untuk warning orang pasal bab jangan deposit duit dalam bank account...so don't know ler apa cita. Dulu leh download borang pelbagai...skang...nampaknya ada pihak makan gaji je kot...update ikut musim.

Stage 1
Peringkat ni simple...dan confirm ramai yang lepas kecuali memang bangap!
Kalau nak senang....print out borang dan bak sekali supaya takyah leceh berejam nak isi borang. Kat sana pun leh...but better if you do it earlier. Jangan lupa gambar berukuran 3R dan kad pengenalan. Please...make sure you ikut syarat umur ok. Pastikan anda warganegara Malaysia...and please oh please be able to speak English dan juga Bahasa Malaysia.
Hah...kan senang...kira layak da ke peringkat seterusnya.

Stage 2
Here's where it gets tricky.
Peringkat kedua...peserta akan dibahagikan kepada dua kumpulan, Team A dan Team B.
Disini, vocal, presence dan kebolehan memberikan persembahan yang menarik secara keseluruhan penting.

Tapi kalau anda mampu membuktikan anda mempunya vocal yang bukan sahaja menarik dari segi tone suara, tapi juga kebolehan basic mengawal pitching dan tempo...dan TAK SUMBANG, then you're in. Pada mereka yang serious, sila sediakan pilihan lagu sendiri kalau-kalau pengadil mahu mendengar sesuatu kelainan dari anda untuk lebih menilai your vocals secara acapella, atau tanpa music, untuk lebih meyakinkan mereka.

Please take this stage seriously sebab aku perasan ramai yang main-main jer time ni. Takkan untuk tak sampai seminit takleh wat preparation betul-betul kan?

Sila ingat video yang diamik tu bukan setakat tayangan kat @15 tau, tapi akan digunakan untuk penilaian juri kemudia kalau anda lepas stage 4 untuk decide whether or not anda akan jadi pelajar Akademi Fantasia.

Stage 3
If you've made it this far, congratulations. It means there is something about your voice that people do bother with, and you're more than just penyanyi longkang bertemankan kapok.
Cabaran seterusnya diadili oleh dua lagi set pengadil.

Peringkat ni melibatkan interview untuk discover your personality. Peringkat ni, selain dari tu, anda mungkin diminta menyanyi lagi, ataupun menari untuk menyakinkan juri anda layak.
Seperti mana stage 2, please note that sesi ni juga divideokan, walaupun bukan untuk tayangan, tapi untuk tontonan juri sebagai sebahagian proses evaluasi.

Stage 4
Semakin ler cerah masa depan anda (sial jer statement ni) kalao da sampai peringkat ni kerana anda telah dishortlistkan.

Kalau ikutkan tahun lepas, kurang dari 200 orang je dari beribu yang sampai ketahap ni.
Pada mereka yang lepas stage 3....samaada anda akan diberitahu...terima kasih...apa apa nanti we call you...dan ditunjuk pintu keluar...ataupun anda akan mendapat borang.

Mengisi borang tu adalah peringkat seterusnya. Jangan perlekehkan peringkat ni walaupun nampak simple.

Apa yang anda isi dalam borang tu, akan memainkan peranan juga dalam bab pemilihan.

And then what? Kalau anda da berjaya sampai tahap isi borang...the only thing you can do is wait, and hopefully, the sessions videotaped will have something that will yakinkan para juri anda layak menjadi pelajar Akademi Fantasia.

Untuk membantu korang...ni aku wat guide tuk korang supaya korang lebih bersedia menghadapi ujibakat. Print this out if you have to, and make a check list, untuk pastikan anda ikut guide point by point ni.

This will really help you...so laugh if you must, but take it seriously if you are going for the audition.

*Pastikan anda membawa segala dokumen dan gambar yang diperlukan. Also bring along a CD player tuk nak layan lagu yang anda akan perform during the audition. Practise makes perfect...and daripada anda membuang masa termenung...baik berlatih. Bring along a book too in case the waiting takes too long, and bekalan minuman (ataupun member atau ahli keluarga yang leh jadi 'runner' tuk dapatkan bekalan makanan dan minuman seandainya lapar atau haus. Persiapan ni akan memastikan anda tak lari-lari kemana, takut nombor dipanggil lak entah kemana...it doesn't give a good impression to be late for your audition.

*Pastikan you're dressed to be impressed. Tapi takyah terlampau fashionable, sebab kalao packaging meletop tapi isi tarak pun tak guna. It's only one of the ingredients...looking good... Dress to impress, but don't overdo it. Make sure you look as good as you sound. Choose a look that goes with your personality, tapi pastikan pada masa yang sama anda selesa, ok, as the audition process could take very long. Kalau baju ke seluar baru, kang gatal-gatal ke tak selesa lak kang...but it's always worth investing in doing something to your hair, like getting a cut.

Guys, pastikan jangan rupa serabai jer while girls...don't look like hookers (no one listens to me on this}...atau make up nak kalahkan opera Cina.
Like I said, preparations help. Kalau anda bukan antara batch yang awal, you may have to wait for up to 12 hours, based on my experience.

*Tunjukkan minat anda. You're one of thousands, dan naya je bukak mulot je, juri da kata tima kasih leh cuba tahun depan. Jangan terlampau bodek...kang nampak bodoh lak bakat tak sampai tapi yer yer nak butter up the judges. It will NOT work...trust me. Say what is necessary while maintaining an honest representation of yourself. Jangan lak nak tipu ngan berlakon menjadi something else nak impress. Professionals can see through your acting. I mean it. Dan control your nervousness. Jangan membebel atau meracau. Taking a breath before you say anything. It'll calm you down. No chewing gum ke apa apa. Nampak kurang ajor da.

*Anda tidak akan didiskriminasikan (malah silap haribulan akan dibantu kalao ada pertalian saudara = DISCLAIMER : Statement ini tidak ada kena mengena ngan yang hidup, mati atau patut mampos). So jangan ingat ada apa pun pasal diri anda yang akan menjadi bahan tuk juri memandang serong at you. As long as you're decent in every way, you'll get the same respect from the judges.

*Panik? Buang masa...baik takyah audition. Pada yang beragama Islam...erm...tauler what you have to do kan. Yang other religions pun can say a short prayer before you start. Calm yourself down, and jangan stress. Fokuskan your energy of being afraid yo prepare yourself. Jangan torture diri sendiri. Kalau anda cukup bersedia, anda takkan menghadapi sebarang masaalah, so kenapa nak risau?

*Bayangkan kenapa anda audition in the first place. Kalao ko takde sebab...padan muka ler. Kalao ko cuba nasib sebab yakin anda ada bakat...then you will have no problems. Focus on making it. Maintain keyakinan anda dan sentiasa pastikan diri anda tenang, supaya tak affect persembahan anda. Pastikan ada keseimbangan dalam personalii dan suara anda. Don't let one outshadow the other.

*Pilih lagu yang sesuai untuk anda. INI TERAMAT PENTING! Jangan pilih lagu cam Kian hanya kerana minat Mawi, kerana anda bukan Mawi. Pilih lagu yang bersesuaian ngan suara anda. Juga yang mampu anda persembahkan tanpa sora ke laut. Interpretasi adalah penting. Jangan nak fotostat lak! Tak guna kalao lenggok sebijik nak ikut CD. Wat pe? Kalau anda klon terhebat sekalipun, peluang anda immediately kurang da.

*Kalau suara power, jangan lak sampai menjerit nak robohkan Astro. Impress with your vocals, tapi jangan sampai berserabut sehingga melody pun da takde. Pada mereka yang tak mampu, jangan ler nak melalak. Suara yang kuat, lantang atau nada tinggi tak semestinya sedap! Banyak lagi faktor yang menjadi pertikaian. Show what you have....but remember...don't overdo it...dan ikut kemampuan...

*Paham tak apa tu emosi? Kalau bak lagu sedih, jangan sengih cam kerang busuk! If it's an upbeat song you're singing, look happy, have some energy. If you're crooning a love ballad, do it with feeling so you embody the words coming out of your mouth. Kalau tak mampu nak hiburkan setakat dua anggota juri dan teman teman seperjuangan...camna nak menghiburkan Malaysia?

*Body language is important too. Jangan lak tengah nyanyi tu, tangan tergantung cam mayat je...ataupun nak wat aksi garu tempat tak patut. Choreography is not just about dancing. You already chose your song awal-awal. Jadi persembahan anda dari segi gerakan anda patut dirancang juga supaya ko tak dok setempat sambil tenung spotlight, ataupun jalan kehulu hilir nak merentas desa sebab gementar tatau nak wat apa.

*Be honest. The judges want to see you! Bukan lakonan semula video clip mana ko tengok yang ko nak over-over lak nak tiru. Feel the song and concentrate on delivering it.

*Dalam menunggu giliran (kecuali nasib ko ler jadik yang first) sembang ngan teman-teman sekeliling. Find out what they're singing. Pastu, kalao ada yang nyanyi lagu sama, compare notes. Mana tau, ada idea ko leh curi sana sini to adapt to your presentation.

*Your attitude is important. Samaada ko leh wat perangai yang elok, dan memikat hati juri, atau wat perangai yang bagi orang meluat atau menyampah dimana juri akan terus mintak ko berambos! Lack of confidence is another thing yang sering menjadi penyebab kegagalan. Yakin pada diri anda dan kebolehan anda (masaalahnya ada lak yang terlebih confidence tapi kekurangan bakat!)

*Pada saat anda akan membuat persembahan, cari sesuatu dalam diri anda sebagai motivasi!

*Don't let anything or anyone intimidate you. Kalau takut sebab tak penah nyanyi pakai mic ke apa, buat-buat je cam ko kat karaoke (tapi nyanyi jangan ler camtuh...style sambil lewa!) Kalau takut judges...wat pe...meka bukan nak marah ke nak gigit ke. Kalao ada contestant yang ko dengar sora power, so what? Rilek and do your best. The best voice is not the only thing necessary and just think that the person might not have something you do.

*Ini adalah rancangan televisyen. X-factor adalah penting. Find out what is yours, or if it is too late, confidence will be enough to fake it for the moment. *Your best-selling point has to be something in you. And if you try too hard it will always work against you. You want to be yourself, but at the same time, you want to have something that distinguishes you from someone else. Jangan jadi sesiapa kecuali diri anda sendiri. Be yourself.

*Which brings us to...be honest. Jangan nak kelentong kata pandai wat lenggok asli ke R&B kalau it's not your thing. Admit your kelemahan so the judges know and you don't make a fool out of yourself. Dan educate yourself ok...kata R&B tapi bunti tuh asli...kena gelak kang...

*Be patient. Kalao ko ingat dok 12 jam baru dapat nyanyi 30 saat stressful sangat...dok rumah je ek. Ramai lagi sanggup. Jangan terbawak your impatience or your unwillingness tuk bersabar into the audition. It makes you look really ugly. Lagipun kalao ko ingat tension dok tunggu berejam...bayangkan ler pening dan stressful nya tuk juri nak layan lalakan meka yang pekak badak!

*Kalau anda mempunyai banyak masa, jangan habiskannya ngan melalak. Practise is fine. Tapi aku perhatikan yang datang satu group mai lalak tak abih-abih...tapi masuk studio ilang sora. Ko datang tuk ujibakat...bukan sesi jamming.

*Jangan skali wat alasan tuk your lack of ability to sing. It turns the judges off. Alasan paling original aku dengar dari one of the judges yang told by one of those yang ujibakat, "Saya takleh nyanyi sebab da malam. Saya malam memang takde sora." Kepala hotak ko!

*I cannot stress enough the need to be confident! Tapi...kekadang...untuk sesetengah yang aku tengok....aku kena gak cakap...jangan lak overconfident!!!

*Have fun! That's the first thing before you can have confidence, and also the much needed ingradient that will make you look more like a pro (doesn't make you sound like a pro, but at least it won't affect your voice if you're nervous)

Based on my experiences...this are the best tips I can think of to help you. So...apa lagi. Start working on it if you are going for auditions after today. Tapi meka yang wat audition siang ni....work on it anyway, ok.

Aku akan ke Astro kang tuk hari kedua ujibakat, so kalao korang nampak aku...tegur je kalao ada apa-apa nak tanya. Just call me and said I offered you the help in my blog. I understand how memeningkan kekadang auditions ni, and I don't mind helping out by giving a little advice here and there.

And by the way.... don't get your hopes up tau no matter what...orang ni cuba nasib...tima jer lah ok apa pun keputusan. Ada rezeki tuh ada ler... that's all for now... kalau korang nak apa extra tips ke ada questions, tinggal kat bahagian komen dan aku cuba jawab ok....good night...

PS. Perlu ke AC Mizal di katakan sebagai pengganti Aznil? (gelak tak terhingga bila diberitahu sumber beberapa minggu lepas)

OCD

I know I haven't posted for quite a bit now... and if you get a sense of deja vu, it's ok...don't change your channel folks, this is still my blog.

Aku cuma had a lot of things on my mind lately, and somehow, I tried to articulate those thoughts of what transpired over the last week or so, to try and sort out a lot of things, professional and personal.

Biasa lah... nipu ler kalao kata hidup ni tak de masaalah lak kan?

Well, some good things took place over the past week, but also some crap incidents that really left a bitter taste. Yerlah... aku kan senang affected.

Sensitive and all... but after much thought, I can narrow my condition down to the title of my blog.

What can I say?

I admit to having a condition that's more worrying than anything else.

I have obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD!

Yes, yes... I admit to being an obsessive compulsive! I know lots of people who fit into the category, but I suppose that it would be a further testament to my condition kalao aku nak ngata orang kan in this case when I have to speak of my condition first.

Some personal matter cropped up and it really got me thinking.

As I was telling someone, I remember this episode of Just Shoot Me (trust me lah nak amik sitcom as the place for my life's guide).

Maia (I think that's how you spell her name was giving Dennis this talking to about luring this girl into bed. The office geek says, "so what?" and sets Maia off.

Despite the unsightly nerdiness of him, he actually has something valid to share (this is TV ma) and replies, "So? Who made you the world's moral police? Did you ever think that people might like you better if you kept your mouth shut?"

That got me thinking.

Yes, aku memang terkenal sebab molot aku yang main lepas. But I've always assured myself people who know me, will look beyond and know my intentions.

But more often that not, I am wrong.

I am blamed for everything. Don't get me wrong... I'm not trying to play victim here... no siree...

I'm too strong a character for people to ever believe I could be victimised...even if I am!

I keep telling myself I have lost faith in human nature... tapi more often than not, I stick to what my parents taught me and give people the benefit of the doubt, and end up burnt.

Mmm... is it my OCD acting up?

People have always thought me dominant and controlling. Self-righteous and ever the queen of justification too.

Aiyak...macam macam... I don't know what conclusion to arrive at... but then again, I'm not looking for quick answers. Life is not black and white... and it sure as hell is no sitcom.

Arghhh!!! Malas tul problems... but what can I say... life's a bitch, now so am I.
I will NOT wallow in my frustration and anger... tapi aku takkan benarkan diri aku untuk live life as if it's a popularity contest.

As the line in What's Eating Gilbert Grape? goes... "It's the insides that count!"

And perhaps people should just give me a chance - give the world around them a chance to know what's inside.

People are superficial...shallow... and that's a truth that hurts.

What's that I hear you say... we all are?

Yeah.. I suppose. Tapi I try my best ler nak...oh never mind.

Why did I indulge in that waste of space? It's my blog mah... and like I said.. it's my theraphy!

Why waste it on shrinks when I have my blog.

Moving on, those of you who were worried about my health, don't worry, I'm fine. On Saturday aku gi check-up... my blood pressure was RIDICULOUS!

Mmmm.... looks like my personal episodes bagi my blood go upstairs more than I thought.

Despite being the poster boy of Coca Cola, aku punya sugar level normal (makan hati orang ni dan orang ni). So I'm basically ok, without going into too much personal details of my medical condition. Tapi aku kena follow-up check-up next two weeks kang.

I want to rant and rave about something, but I think I'll just bite my tongue for now.

Let me do a quick recap of what I've been doing for the past week.

Sebelum tuh, here's a pictorial guide to some stuff that will live on in my memory, wanted or otherwise lah.

First up (drumroll please) was this stupid operasi yang dijalankan polis trafik kat Shah Alam pada malam minggu. Memang stupid nak mampos! Why was it silly? Walaupun aku rasa PATUTNYA tujuannya nak tangkap mat rempit dan bohsia feeling stylo tonggek tunjuk kerak, it turned out to be a badly planned trap yang saja naya motorists!

Too complicated too explain, but in summary, kami nak makan kat cafe kat Dataran Shah Alam, terus kena kepung with road blocks everywhere.

Sampai nak parking nak makan pun takleh sebab keta yang kena parking keliling kena saman!

Come on lah...tengah malam... nak parking mana? Alam Sentral?As if!

Pastuh? Nak parking hotel?

Polis trafik dapat commission ke dari hotel tuh?

Weird!

Tak pasal-pasal kena saman sebab konon illegal turning (there were no signs even), WALAUPUN mangkuk hayun punya trafik leh divert traffic konon nak paksa orang masuk roundabout Seksyen 4. Masaalahnya kalau kami nak lari dari oeprasi satu hal... tapi kami sebenarnya nak carik parking kat area Dataran NAK SAHUR.

Bangap nya polis... aku kena saman, rilek je. Zack dah gelabah, tambah agik Ted kat sebelah dia.

Aku dok ngan pragmatist yang mendiamkan diri je.

Dia pas lecture Zack, polis tuh nak lecture aku lak. Aku pas explain dia masih nak lecture, aku terus cakap, "Skang ko nak syarah ke nak dengar aku jelaskan? Kalau aku jelas pun ko tanak dengar, aku rasa bang, ko saman je. Bukan aku tak mampu bayar!"

Terkedu sikit.Biarlah kredit pahala kurang sikit... tapi puas dari aku high blood kang! Tersengih abang-abang satu keta lagik yang dok kena lecture sebelum tuh.

So many things were wrong with the roadblock, sampai main fence off roads pun, takde safety markers sampai one motorcyclist (not a rempit) terlanggar dan terbabas. Kelakar tol... tapi kesian lak mamat tuh lak pastuh kena saman!

Kalau aku da saman da polis trafik for being so stupid and endangering people!

Next image to share... ni masa buka puasa Marhaban di Astro last Sunday kat Hotel Grand Blue Wave (grand ke?) kat Shah Alam.

Ok ler segalanya dari program sampai makanan... tapi aku turn off part ni je.

Look at that picture, if you can't make it out, dia punya air soya tuh, dari kotak punya, ala... yang Yeo's tuh. Not a problem.

I however have a problem with the staff, tengah-tengah orang melantak tuh, selamba

longgokkan the boxes and tuang masuk without a concern.

Ok fine.. so she's wearing gloves.... arghh!!! Pour it into a container or something and transport it before pouring ler. Oh never mind... just something to do with my OCD.

Next pointless bitching.... aku kat Immigration smalam to do my passport. Dahler thanks to some friends (you know who you guys are - tiga orang agik ni) bagi advice mana nak gi. So I took it and decided not to risk ke Putrajaya sebab jauh kang takder nombor ker haper... rugi je jauh-jauh. Then further delay nak renew passport lak yang tinggal tiga bulan lagik je.

So aku pun ke Plaza Masaalam kat Seksyen 9 Shah Alam. Matilah!!! Rupanya wat IC je! Detour balik ke Kompleks PKNS where the REAL Immigration is at.

Sampai sana, dah 12.45pm. Guard tak bagi masuk, sebab meka break kul 1pm (matilah puasa break sejam wat per?)

Aku pun kata nak tanya pasal rambut aku lepas ke tak etc (alasan nak masuk amik borang dulu). Dia tahan and insisted he could answer anything.

So I asked him nicely (muka aku leh nice ke?), "abang kalau leh jawab...then kenapa abang keja sini dan bukan sana (while pointing to the counter)".

Needless to say... sampai kat counter, kakak tuh rilek jerbagi borang and all (borang pon kena BAYAR RM1 ke???? - matilah very the extortionist!... just like the peddlers with canes selling tissues)

Came back after the break (kerana tension nunggu melantak McDonalds tak posa) and was back at 2pm.

Tunggu sampai 4.15pm baru sampai counter. Dengan penuh tension kat kesesakan dalam Immigration tuh (why do people want to bring their freaking kids along if they can't care for them - and why do adults as stupidly as rude kids, stare at you out of boredom until you wanna smack the shit out of them!)... I made my way to the counter.Only to find out, pics aku yang baru aku amik for RM10 kat bawah tadik... kena rejek!!!

Walaupun aku risau kaler rambut aku jadik issue, rupanya... kakak tuh kata piercing aku yang jadik hal.

Aiyak!! Aku kata mana ada ngatakan dalam pic tuh takleh ada piercing, lain lah nak wat IC, terpampang depan-depan!) Dia kata bukan sebab tuh, tapi takut aku takleh masuk negara lain!

Aiyak???!!! What the... never argue with logic of government departments... there exists virtually no possibility of winning, like the impossibility of there being any logic in the first place.

Spent another RM7 to take pictures from that instant passport photo booth. Kali ni lepas je rambut. Matilah mengerbang feeling ada angin wat music video lagi... mampos ler ko kalao tak lepas.

Ni lak... LEPAS! Matilah!!!

Rasa cam nak complain pasal the rules and procedures, and this is what I saw.Kat 'customer corner' konon leh tinggalkan feedback... kosong! Ada ler cebisan plastik kat dalam cam tong sampah.... I don't think I want to take one, thank you.

Bloody creeps... my first suggestion... make the customer suggestion work!

On a lighter note, kalao ko baca blog orang gila ni, I was said to have broken kerusi kat rumah Iban blueblood ni. Jangan percaya!!!

It's a set-up, and this picture (tangan Fiebie tuh.. as per trademark dia) and Juan sibuk pasang 'trap'. Ingat... nak percaya yang azab dan sengsara ataupun yang lapar dan dahaga!

And finally, before we get to my pictorial guide to how my week was (matilah seminggu utang punya posting all in one!)

Ni... masa aku ke Pantai Medical Centre, aku nampak public phone ni. Ok... so ni statement jakun sikit, but this is the first time aku tengok public phone camni. Lighted siot!

I don't know bout you guys, but since I hardly use public facilities, aku would hardly know ler. But this phone was kind of cool, and it was in the lobby area of the Centre sebelum naik lif nak ke specialist consultants' rooms.

Bentuk cylindrical dia pun cantik. Matilah takyah dua puluh salt lamps cam someone dalam bilik for the ambient lighting.

And finally... I promise this is the final punya final before we get on to the pictures I know all of you nak tengok (bukan banyak mana pon).

I had my appointment with a very friendly physician (nurses dia pun baik sangat... walaupun I think they were kind of freaked out by me - one of the nurses sampai berkali tanya aku kenapa aku nak posa)

So thank you Datuk Dr Khalid Abdul Kadir for being a great doc!

Caya lah... tak horror pun aku... walaupon memang aku menci nak check up dan sebagainya.

Trust me... I REALLY hate hospitals. Always think of them as places people die, rather than places people get well.

If you've seen me in a hospital before, you don't know how much I HATE being in one as very few people know my phobia of hospitals.Anyways.... ni Juan, yang temankan aku ke Pantai Medical Centre, layan bosan ngan aku.

We started reading a lot of stuff on the walls and boards.

Stuff about breastfeeding and all.. nothing much interesting to me.
Until I saw this little thing they had up on one wall.

It's a chart that shows the body's fat distribution.

Amik ko!!! Aku makan hati tengok yang women's fat distribution, takde sangat kat perut, and more on thighs and butt, cause that's what I sure as hell need!

Yerlah... the Chinese curse... no bum!

Tak caya?

How many male Chinese friends have you got? Look at their asses! Most of them will probably have the same flat butt! Memang orang Cina takde bontot ler...

Matilah mintak fat distribution camtuh... better cellulite than emptiness, I say.

Oh... camna aku leh lupa!
There's this picture I'm just dying to share!

Ok... for some reason, I took this pic of Ning masa kat Muzik Muzik last week... and for some reason she looked 'familiar'.

Aku tenung je kat dia until finally... I GOT IT!
Remember the original Star Trek which began in the late Sixties and stretch on and on and on and on and on...

Don't you think Ning looks like Nichelle Nicholswho played Lt. Nyota Uhura? Even though rambut tak afro, tapi there's a slight flip that is more or less.

Bibir dah konperm da... and the baju looks like an updated version. Teringat Ning kalao dulu pakai Motorola RZOR dulu pun... looks a little like that communicator used in Star Trek.
ok... never mind.. maybe it's just me.

And that concludes memories of no particular fond recall yang aku pun tak pasti kenapa aku nak share ngan korang.

Oh bugger....done already so don't complain lah.

Melodi Raya - Manhattan Ballroom, Berjaya Times Square
Seleksi gambar of my favourites for the day. Linda Onn, Farah and Umie Aida.
Bawah tuh Yazer... khas wat Fiebie - peminat nombor satu dia.

Sambungan pics diatas, here are a few more. First of Ning, Nikki and Yanie di interview Melodi. Second pic of Amir from RuffEdge. Next is madu Fiebie, which is of course Ekin (lama tak jumpa dia). And the final pic, idea Vernon nak posekan (don't ask me why) is Nikki and Yanie sekali ngan Ina (merasalah Mawi takde masa tuh)

And here's the final pic. Ni memang khas wat Fiebie! (matilah aku!!!)

Drama - Muzik Muzik - Sri Pentas 2, Plaza Alam Sentral
Here's a few pics. kalau nak lebih go to Vernon's page. Dia sampai naik gila amik banyak sangat, sampai orang production da risau sebab da cue nak abih commercial da, orang tuh masih posing depan stage konon nak angle terbaik.
Ni bukan pencalonan, and Nikki, Ning (motif dinch aku dari mencarut - too late dah-ling!) and Yanie, perform as tamu for the show last week.

Berbuka Puasa InTrend - Menara Kuala Lumpur
Next lot of pictures ni, aku suka sangat! These are some of the people I consider family and friends (mungkin ada yang aku carut sebelum ni, tapi kita tak penah amik hati kan... tul tak Haziq?)
First of course Nikki dan Faizal, second solo shot of Faizal and third, Diddy dan Haziq together.

And of course, the next lot of pics, miscellaneous sikit ler. Nak list kan semua ke? Let's see, dari belakang, Diddy, Salima dan ZZ. Depan, Nikki, Nora, Yanie, Karen dan Zila.Mak aih...letihnya... tu pun baru satu pic.

Next... si Rich dan Lotter (wat per tuh main teropong teropong ni... matilah carut!) Next kak Shahila dari production team Diari Akademi Fantasia with Amylea, and last masa surprise birthday celebration Diddy. Dalam pic tuh sekali yang tak muncul lagik pic sebelum ni, abang Badrul the ringleader pun ada, Farhan... depan tuh anak Linda Jasmine.

Last but not least, the best picture of the day, for me. The two sexiest and hottest babes (like I would know...), Nikki and Nana!!!

Berbuka puasa Astro dan showcase musical Seroja - Grand Ballroom, Palace Of The Golden Horses.
Ok...so I didn't quite enjoy gthe musical, not because it was bad, but because memang it was the wrong environment....susah nak hayati. Didn't stop me getting more nice pics. Cuma masa banyak sangat, so ni jer yang aku nak kongsi. Below, we have Farhan,

Majlis berbuka Puasa Diddy, majlis menyambut harijadi ke 21 Diddy dan pra-dengar Saling Terpesona, single pertama Yanie dan Diddy
This was an all-in-one event... aku tak banyak amik pics. Tapi kalao korang nak tengok agik, tengok ler kat page photographer tak bertauliah, dan organiser.
Aku dari event tuh nak share dua pics je. And aku rasa dua pics ni make a good closing for this entry.
Teka siapa dua tamu kat majlis ini melalui gambar mereka daripada belakang.
Clue : It's not Siti Hajar, Sahara Yaacob, Alleycats...Don't peek at the answer below!

DO NOT SCROLL LOWER!
Keep guessing!
Give up?
Ala...cubalah teka.... korang ni cepat sangat nak putus asa. Cepat!!!!
No peeking. Ko scroll lagik da spoiler da!

Dah... so that's the answer to the puzzle. It's Yanie and Amylea! So that concludes my extremely lengthy (I think the longest ever?) entry.
I know I couldn't really focus, and my mind was scattered everywhere, but hope you guys made some sense of it all.
Esok and so on, postings like normal. So make sure you guys come on back here.
Things are finally back to normal.
...almost.
By the way, it's not too late to wish THANK YOU to everyone for voting for Drama and making it NUMBER ONE kat Carta ERA!!!

Don't forget to keep voting!!! KLIK SINI and login with your epass and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!!
At the same time, jangan lupa, lagu Nikki dan Zahid, Caramu, masih berada dalam Carta Muzik Muzik. It made it's debut at Number One there, and stayed four weeks, pastuh dropped and stayed at second spot for two weeks and now is at third. So tunggu apa lagi? PULUN!!!

Ok... now I'm done. Mak aih... dah 2.30am! It took me over two hours to update this entry... ngan nak wat gambar pelbagai! Hope you guys stay on for my next posting. Terasa lelebih rajin lak tetiba nak posting.

Nak sahur dulu...

PS.

Hati terusik... ada yang membisik

Kali ni aku nak wat posting dua part. When I started my blog, it was all about luahan hati aku, kebanyakkannya berkaitan ngan hidup peribadi aku.

Somewhere along the way, after the therapy that it provided me in the face of personal hurt, aku banyak blogging pasal kerja dan sebagainya.

Which is still ok I suppose, sebab tu lah gunanya blog kan?

Catatan peribadi... jurnal harian... my own little diary with my thoughts and my feelings all coded into this little bit in cyberspace.

My own confessional.

Tapi... I understand, some people come in here for hope... to read the light fluff that surrounds my life as well. And that's ok.

So, the first part of my posting will be about my regular activities, and the second part is about addressing some concerns I have.

Phew... that was really unncessary, but seeing how many idiots have access to the Internet and do NOT understand what a blog is supposed to be, I just thought offering them a choice of reading what they want to would be fair.

Of course, if they hate this blog tapi still masuk, then it wouldn't make sense to them any way kan?

PART I
Whatever... well...so Friday.

Hmm... picking up from Friday... aku abih keja je, drove in the rain to the promise of a fun weekend, despite not being able to join geng semua ke Hatyai.

My destination? Nak ke opis Maestro.

Patutnya aku jumpa Faizal kat Subang Jaya je, kat Click Studio, tapi sebab awal lagi, dan aku pun takde arah tuju memana, so decided lepak ler sekali je.

Sampai, temankan Along minum kat mamak bawah, pastuh serempak ngan Freddie
and Melvyn and had short chat.

Pakcik Faizal dropped by to join, and then shortly tuh aku naik ler.

Dalam nak mengisi masa sejam sebelum nak ke sesi photography (ni tuk profile meka... tatau ler kalao pakai tuk album art), Faizal sambung recording tuk album Raya. Banyak ler retake.. (takde ler banyak sangat...merasalah aku kena carut Man Bangla!!!)

Ok ler...tapi ngantuk aku sebab ye lah... kat luar tengah ujan, and then aku pun letih. Pejal muka nampak stress abih! Kesian lak dia tak cukup tidur dan letih.

Tepat kul 8pm, dah settle laying the vocal tracks, kami pun gerak ler. Faizal, pakcik dia dan YY satu keta. I drove on my own... layan My Heart on repeat teringatkan wajah seseorang je sepanjang perjalanan (angau tul aku ni)

Sampai kat area Sunway Pyramid, perjalanan yang lancar tetiba terhenti. Mak aih!!! Cam parking lot! tak de keta bergerak langsung. K*m*kkkkkkk!!!!!!

Argghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Two hours and fifteen minutes later aku sampai Click yang sebenarnya jarak dalam maybe about 5km je jauh cam da nak sampai Kuantan rasanya ngan time perjalanan teramat.
Aku da agak aku mesti first sebab masa sampai roundabout in the first hour, YY call aku meraung pasal meka masih depan Pyramid. Amik ko....

Famee and Hatta ngan adik dia sampai kemudian dalam 10 minit pastuh.

It took another half hour sebelum Fiazal & Co. sampai Click.

Nak dekat kul 11, tengok muka Faizal semakin affected... so mintak dia rehat dulu... Dok keta dua jam lebih, dia kata tak dapat tidur. Aduh... kesian tol.

Half an hour later, ngan Famee da make-up semua, they started the photography.

Faizal ni kategori Haziq gak. Memang natural la bab dpan kamera ni.

Senang je keja ngan dia...

Tiga pasang baju kemudian, nampaknya dia semakin warm-up and tambah hebat beraksi depan kamera.

More than three hours later, kami semua gerak.

Aku lepak ngan member minum... then balik tuk call it a night.

By the way, anyone watched channel 9 tak hari Jumaat tuh? Ada entertainment programme, don't know what it's called, but I was interviewed on it about the issue of managers and artistes and professionalism (merasalah some people would say what I know about all this kan)

Saturday was a lazy day. Balas dendam tidur puas-pias.

Siang gi Astro sat sebab ada rakaman interview tuk program Mawi... Ina yang interview aku pasal pandangan aku. Jangan harap ler aku laser sangat sebab ada direction dalam interview tuh ek (matilaaaaaaa...)

Mintak-mintak editing meletup...

Petang, jumpa Zamzuri kat KLCC and then join dia for Planet YM punya bowling tournament. Let the pictures tell you what a 'happy' event it was (matilah aku kena carut pas ni... ampun!!!)

Met old friends... new friends...

Saw weird fashion trends including seseorang ni yang pakai seluar panjang rolled up, and then these pair of terompah... clogs yang jalan je *klik* *klok*... tak sesuai.

Very the statement gi pasar (jangan marah uols)

Rancang nak ke Dataran Merdeka sebab Faizal ada bagitau dia perform tuk malam
puisi ke apa kat sana, tapi sebab sibuk kecoh kat bowling alley tuh tak
sempat lak. Sedar-sedar da kul 11. Call Faizal tak dapat, so call Farhan. Her uncle picked up kata tengah show. Shortly after, Farhan message kata show da abih.

Then Faizal SMS kata show ok.. no problems.

Rugi tak gi tengok... tapi yerlah kan... aku pun nak social life selain dari Akademi Fantasia je.

Kekadang aku lupa beza kerja dan kehidupan peribadi aku because I am so used to both being one.

Hung out for supper with some friends, and later met someone up for drinks and a long chat.

That added weight to my problems... (ada dalam second part posting ni)

By the time nak tidur Sunday morning, tak ngantuk walaupun mata letih (boleh?) Popped a Xanax and called it a 'night'.

Merasalah bangun awal (even Xanax can't cure some amount of restlessness), tapi pas gayut kat phone sat, tertidur akibat xanax tuh masih power.

Setan... by the time aku tul-tul up and about... da lewat petang.

Bosan lak sebab da tidur seharian.

Call sorang-sorang.

Alam tengah sibuk editing... Vernon sibuk redecorating...penyeludup hormon stuck
menunggu bus nak nalik KL.... abang Badrul patut have dinner with his family manakala Zaamzuri lak ada date.

Bosannn!!!

BerSMS ramai lagi... Marsha kata dia ada hal, tapi dia kata Rich and gang da
call ajak karaoke, but she counldn't join them. She asked me to join them, tapi call Rich dan Lotter tak dapat lak.

Call Haziq... tatau lak dia da balik dari kampung ke tak, so gamble. Haziq kata meka kat Wisma Ali Bawal wat rancangan Aznil. Dia kata set je.... so aku pun confirm ngan Diddy sebab ingat Diddy drive.

Dalam nak confirm, tetiba ramai lak balas SMS yang tak terjawab. Pening nak membalas nonstop (merasalah SMS at least five people at one go!). Macam ada komplot nak peningkan aku je.

Last-last set jumpa kat Uncle Don kat Hartamas...

Abang Badrul, Diddy, Amirul dan Haziq da dok nunggu aku yang berejam baru sampai akibat takde parking.... baru nak salam je tengok eh eh... meja belakang tuh Amylea dan Anding as well as other friends pun ada!

Saat-saat ni terlintas fikiran... pasal komen orang bila aku blog pasal jumpa bebudak ni. Ada yang kata, bab tuh pun nak blog ke? Well.. if you know what a diary is... then you wouldn't ask.

Simple meaning of a blog.

Just kekadang kalao orang tuh indulgent gila, dia rasa ok... tapi bila tengok orang lebih pantang. So all I can say is.. sucks to be you lah...whatever.

Two hours or so flew past camtuh je.

Oh by the way, Haziq... tanak tulis pasal what a wonderful night it was (matilah carut aku nak ngutuk je dalam blog - gelak evil tahap gaban teringat!)

Abih je, gerak nak balik, tapi pas call Juan lak yang on the way balik dari Kuantan, patah balik ke KL because he said he would be at Puduraya at 1am. Sebab keta dia kat Shah Alam, ingat takper la... alang-alang tumpangkan hantar.

Pas jemput, ke rumah Hatta & Co.

Sampai rumah pun da subuh. Aiyak... camni ni...

Ni masuk opis je kelam kabut siapkan apa yang patut sebab nak gi Putrajaya.

Untuk apa?

Untuk ke rancangan Mawi... Ina tuh ler.

Yes, I will not be going for Siti's wedding reception.

Why?

Because after months of covering Siti, I think Mawi...Ina lebih narik kot.

Yerlah... at least mintak tiada rahsia agik kan topik Mawi dan Ina ni.

Yang lagik satu tuh bukan rahsia lagi so no suspense.

Lagikpun, nanti dapat gak tengok gambar baju dia dan sebagainya kang. That's all that's really the feature of the wedding anyway. Plus jangan lupa reception kat Kuala Lipis agik... kat Jakarta agik.

Overdose and overexposed lak aku rasa.... Princess Diana dulu kawin satu dunia tengok pun sekali je masa wedding. Ni sampai tunang dan akad nikah... sanding, then repeat performance dua kali lagik.

Mmm... overkill.

Lagikpun, ada sangat yang terdesak nak sangat gi majlis harapkan invitation, I think the event has become so overcome with people who have nothing to do than scrounge for invitations, that honestly, the exclusivity of going, is not there anymore. I think I have better things to do than mingle with riff-raff who feel the need to be seen at events for free food.

Biarlah ada yang berseronok sana. At least I get paid for it (tepuk gelak sikit)

Aku pass invite aku kat Naji dan Halim sebab meka akan cover aku dalam time aku ke Putrajaya... enjoy guys! (Halim.. intai gosip sikit ek)

Malam ni kena rush balik office, tapi mengharap dapat jumpa yang mengusik malam ni (baca posting bahagian part two kalao nak tau pasal that)

Okler... nak gi Putrajaya ni.

Mawi... Ina? Siti - Datuk K?

Mana lebih sensasi? I think the answer's obvious.

PART II
These are my private emotional rantings. Do not read if you don't need to.

...ketika dilamun kesepian, terdampar dengan duka yang masib belum terubat, ada yang mengusik hati ini.
Disaat ku ingat penawar telah ditemui, ada lain yang membisik.

Hah... jiwang tak aku? Tapi itulah hakikat apa yang dihadapi aku dalam seminggu ini. Sebenarnya, I think only my best friends know what I mean... they should because after all, I have been boring them with all those small details which make life's little annoyances so minute in comparison.

Pada mereka yang sanggup mendengar kisah ku... here's how it started... ni kira versi pendek la.
Setelah aku cuba melupakan 'dia' kerana I really don't want to wallow in depression of another effing frustrating failure, aku ketemui seseorang yang... well in a nutshell, I didn't really think of in that way.

Dalam peluang bersama, kemanjaan orang itu mengusik aku untuk melihat lebih dalam isi hatinya. And while I usually run from things like these at times when I'm still healing from a failure, aku terima dengan hati terbuka.

Reality however has a strange way of morphing into this dangerous adversary yang just soaks up any happiness, and becomes the biggest enemy and threat to our happiness, and perhaps... even the little lives we have.

Without saying much more, all I can say is, while aku nak bersama dengan orang tu, dan aku nak gak usaha tuk bersama dia, aku terasa patutnya aku menhalang diri aku daripada terkena lagi.

Same script, different cast, right.

For those who know... si dia yang baru menghadirkan diri dalam hidup aku, tak ubah sangat keadaan diri dia seperti seseorang yang pernah wujud sebagai tunggak semangat aku.

Dalam dilema... dan juga angau... aku telah pun kenal seseorang ini melalui kawan-kawan.

Dalam tak sedar, kami mesra sebab dia ni easy going and manja.

We talked about a lot of things, and I felt really comfortable.

Aku suka kat dia... tapi takde lah sampai tahap tangkap feeling. Aku bukan jenis 'instant love'.

Anyway... right now, I have set in mind that keduanya kawan... masaalahnya... aku pun ingin berpunya.

So what do I do. Who do I even consider wanting to get closer with.

Go for someone yang keadaan diri dia almost familiar ngan my previous failure, walaupun bukan salah dia, tapi keadaan yang memaksa... ataupun someone yang seems to have the same goals and vision I do.I don't know whether it has something to do with some planetary alignment ke apa... but I think the concept of love right now is as wonky as they come.

Buggered if I'm going to go though this again.

Then again... who can turn away love when it creeps into your heart.

Pada yang mengusik - kalaulah kau mampu berterus terang denganku, apa antara kita dan leraikan persoalan apakah kemungkinan kami bersama...

Pada yang berbisik - aku harap ko faham... dilema aku sekarang. Hati aku belumpun sembuh, tapi sudahpun ia ingin kembali untuk bercinta dan mencintai

PS - Sorry nak update semalam tapi blogdrive wat hal. Ni tadi nak upload berkali-kali sangkut. Sorry kalau ada yang tak dapat view entry ni mula-mula.

Catatan Duka - dan sedikit yang menceriakan

A little trackback.

Ari Isnin, belah malam, pas abih segala kecoh belaka, aku drop by ofis ayah Farhan, sebab Farhan Friends' Club sekali ngan family Farhan wat surprise bagi dia and menjemput aku join.

Semua keluarga Akademi Fantasia musim keempat hadir, kecuali Faizal dan Lotter yang memasing sibuk.

Masa aku sampai pun da lebih kurang 10 malam da. Kebetulan sampai pun da nampak Diddy, Haziq dan Amirul nak ciao.

Sembang tepi jalan je la...

Sekali ngan birthday girl... naik atas tengok si Rich dan Velvet masih ada.

Meriah gak ler... sorry kalau tak sempat say hi ngan everyone, tapi pada sapa yang tegur tu, sorry ek kalau nampak tak larat sikit sebab memang tak larat sebenarnya pun.

Tak larat, dok sampai 2 lebih pagi sembang memacam ngan parents Farhan. Mak dan ayah dia memang mesra, dan yang aku paling salute, they really want the best in terms of Farhan's career.

Kekadang bila benda tuh berlaku, nampak cam campurtangan, tapi pengalaman ayah Farhan tak boleh diperlekehkan, and since he does know what he's talking about, it made me realise just how far Farhan will go with the support of her family.

Aku tak banyak amik gambar sebenarnya... nak kata betul-betul ni sekeping je amik. Bukan apa... tapi letih tak terhingga... balik malam tuh yang kena Xanax terus sampai KO.

But malam tuh ler si Rich, Velvet dan Farhan ada bagitau pasal rakaman Dari Studio 1 Akademi Fantasia 4 yang akan jalan esok, and they ajak to join, so I said I would think about it.

Yesterday pas blog semua, ajak orang gila join, tapi dia tak sempat, sebab banyak keja nak abihkan sebelum kami reramai cuti ke utara (padan muka tanak abihkan keja cepat!). Juan join lak sebab dia tengah pree pun.

Akibat dia feeling dia, janji nak join kul 7.30pm, aku dok terlopong nunggu sampai 8.40pm baru dia sampai.

Terus gegas ke Astro, berlainan keta sebab dia ada urusan pastu.

Abang Badrul da calling tanya kat mana, dan that they were going to start.

Jalan masuk ke entrance, ada sekumpulan rempit yang agaknya datang bukan sebab tarikan Akademi Fantasia, tapi sebab no life (entah warga Astro mana lak kutip kot ajak mai) because they were just uncouth, heckling at everyone walking past. Idiots...

Farish (mamat Durian Runtuh) kat entrance ngan Nana yang kalau tak silap aku wat Brek!, tegur... sempat ler dalam kelam kabut Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi katanya.

Masuk je, terkejut ngan ramai gak yang mai nonton. Puas lak tengok Farhan Friends' Club turned out in large numbers.

Again, more Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi, pastu tengok abang Badrul da peluk tubuh jeling sebab memang show masa tuh nak start.

Meriah punya meriah! Marsha ada sekali ngan abang Adi dari Maestro. Eh , Tasha ngan Hazama pun ada. Apa lagi... show jadi lagik meriah ler ngan pesta kat bahagian belakang studio kami semua joget lambat... sesi ngumpat etc.

The show was fun... nak ulas pun tak guna kan, sebab lambat agik sebelum tayang (mesti stok Raya), so korang tengok je kang.

Masa final song retake sekali lagi, kami semua gerak amik angin supaya elak crowd, and then lepak kat wardrobe area tunggu yang lain.

Dalam 10 ke 15 minit pastuh, bebudak semua muncul. Aku malas nak bangun sebab Farish tengah channel surfing the new channels yang akan ditambah kat Astro (dalam Astro da leh tengok dulu, kalau pelanggang 31 August je la dapat nonton). So layan...

Keluar je jadik mangsa. Terima kasih pada Marsha yang suka cubit aku, especially perut (mentang-mentang aku bulat!), semua bebudak ikut tabiat especially Lotter Amirul, Haziq, Faizal... aiyak... even Salima.

Abih lebam aku!!!!! Arghhh!!! Nasib baik doktor bagi ointment sekali.

Faizal mintak maap tak balas SMS wish dia Happy Birthday, ngadu dia letih. Kesian lak tengok budak ni.

Pastu ngadu kena kacau orang. Mana taknya... nombor handphone dia yang baru beli aritu masa dia call aku, rupanya da tersebar dan orang pelik-pelik entah dari mana call. Takde privacy. Seb baik dia dapat nombor baru private line seperti aku nasihatkan (sorang-sorang semua double line dah pun).

Dari kat belakang wardrobe, kami semua berpecah.

Farhan ikut family dia yang jemput. Bebudak pompuan lain in Zila, Salima, Karen da Nora ikut transport yang di bawa Man dari Maestro. Lotter naik ngan Rich, manakala Haziq dan Amirul naik ngan Diddy.

Selain dak pompuan ikut transport, bebudak rancang nak gi makan kat McDonalds kat luar highway tak jauh dari Astro. Diddy, Rich dan Haziq ajak join sekali.

"Abang, ikut kereta abang ek."

Eh eh... apa salahnya Faizal. Tapi masaalahnya Faizal nak balik, so aku bagitau ler kita nak gi melantak dulu beramai. Lagikpun dia ngadu lapar sebelum tu.

Tapi sebab dia ada rakaman Dari Studio 1 esoknya (ari ni) dan juga dia kata kena pindah rumah (dia skang dok serumah Haziq, Amirul dan Lotter) sebab kena dok ngan sedara mara dari Melaka or something like that, dia kena lah forego the plan.

Kesian lak...bagus la ada sedara mara tengok-tengokkan dak tu, tapi kekadang tengok rasa terkongkong lak.

Dia lagikpun da of legal age, he needs to be allowed to mature ma.

No harm to our plans.... kami semua yang lain serang McDonalds, termasuk Farish and friend

Ni pics kemeriahan kat sana. Pas abih baru terperasan, alamak pic Rich takde lak. So Rich, sorry dude....tak sengaja!!! Peminat Rich jangan marah kata aku saja tak amik pic dia lak tau!

The best pic aku suka? Si Amirul perli berlakon on the phone, sebab Velvet kena laser ngan aku sebab hobi bergayut dia.

Aduh.. pecah perut semua gilir-gilir dikenakan macam-macam. Eh Dora... ada gak? Rajin speeding katanya nak join sebab member bagi tip-off pasal kehadiran bebudak kat McD (Dora ni pembaca blog aku). Hah... sempat... jangan kata aku tak introduce!

Adi... ko jangan panas ek!!!Asik kena mangsa je ngan semua... (gelak evil of the evilest!!!)
Balik malam tuh, berSMS ngan Faizal ngan nombor baru dia yang diberikan, yerlah... kesian dia ditinggalkan camtuh. Nak wat per, da nama champion, tugas dia yang diaturkan tak munasabah pun, terpaksa.

Faizal ajak gi sokong dia tuk Dari Studio 1, aku pun tak pasti nak cakap apa. Try jer lah ek Pejal... apapun ko ramai peminat, tak kurang jeritan. Tapi sempat ler marah dia gi tido... da kalau tak muka kelebaman pastuh.

Why tell all these details? Sebab fanatics... korang nak cakap apa, silakan je. (gelak sambil tercekik asap rokok ni)

Ari ni ada assignment. Pelancaran buku Catatan Duka Diana Naim.Yeap... Ina (lebih dikenali sebagai Bert disini), ada release buku pasal kisah trauma dia. Suka atau tak suka, I think you guys should pick up the book.

Setiap masaalah ada dua belah cerita, and keduanya ada kebenaran. So I think you just need to listen to the other side too.

Aku bukan kesian ngan Ina, tapi kagum in a way sebab she is strong, no matter how you look at it.

Aku rasa kesian... simpati... semua tuh takyah la.

Ina cukup tabah tanpa sebarang keperluan tuk tuh semua... she has to prove herself, and I'm glad to say that she is appearing to be more independant, away from nama Mawi.

Malah buku ni katanya akan menjadi kali terakhir tuk dia sebut nama Mawi, tuk give her side of the story.

Pas interview , saja usik amik pic kak Shana layan interview ngan Ina (tagline : Entahlah kak Shaaanarrrrr - merasalah carutan Farihad).

Today kalao sempat abihkan keja, singgah ler usha show Faizal (atas jemputan tuan badan, bukan merempuh - lawak...lawak)

So I'll end today's entry ngan tribute to Siti ni in photographs. Terima kasih, and credit to TV3 as well as teman-teman lain for these photographs. Bermula ngan saat cincin disarungkan, the planted kiss of the husband on the bride on the forehead until their first pics as husband and wife. Enjoy....and again, selamat pengantin baru Datin Siti Nurhaliza dan Datuk Khalid Mohamad Jiwa.

By the way, pada meka yang mulot poaka (termasuk aku) tapi especially Fiebie, ni pesanan penaja dari Siti kat sebelah.

Jangan nak carut-carut tiara dia tau!

Mana taknya dia pakai tiara, designer pun Radzwan Radzwill (merasalah jadi crown IQP ke Miss Wilayah akan datang terus! - matilah aku kena bunuh che dung dan mama Rossa)

Ok guys... am signing off today. Got a little more work to finish off.
Plus tomorrow gotta go Immigration, nak renew balik passport (gi Jakarta tuh pun da kurang dari enam bulan - kena valid for another six months at least from tarikh expiry kalau nak travel)

Thursday one more day of work, Friday is usually more laid back (mintak nothing happens) and then belah malam, I'm off to a short, but still well-deserved holiday to Thailand!

Yeah!!!

Pada Pak Besaq and his soulmate : jangan ler komen apa-apa pada media lagik ek. Nak cuti sangat ni... kalau tak, kena kelam kabut mai opis dok sampai tengah malam agik....

PS - Pada peminat Farhan, anda leh join Farhan Friends' Club dengan CLICK DI SINI!

PS Pt II - Baru call Faizal at 6.44pm.
