Reflecting...

I know I said aku tanak cita pasal any of the drama I've been through over the past week plus, but this is something slightly connected.

Of course, you guys know I basically shut down for three days over the end of last week. I promise, never ever to do that again. Not over stupid problems like what I went through. No more hitting the brakes of my life. Yes, I am human and I crack under pressure too. But learning from events past, I am only stronger.

I still don't believe I bothered that much about everything. So pointless and a waste of my time. Heh... we all make mistakes, kan? We're only human.

But thank you people for being there for me, I love all of you. Thank you to my sisters (so many of you who called and messaged me to find out what was going on sampai letih dowh aku nak jawab soal siasat tapi a special holler to Atilia and Ning for always being my big sisters apart from everyone in my 'family') and my brothers (especially Datuk Seri Farid Redzuan - nampak garang, but he's seriously sweet and someone I feel connected to with our ties to arwah Min).

Everyone - you know who you are. A million hugs.

All the comments, and all the concern... thank you so much everyone.

I believe in the power of prayers. Syukur. I believe a resolve came from it.

I promise myself and everyone I love and who loves me (tanpa agenda, niat atau kepentingan - being sincere may be stupid to some, but to pada stok yang kekurangan kasih sayang jerk) to continue being myself and appreciate what's truly important.

Things can only get better, right?

The losers who try to fuck me up... pe pe je lah. I sincerely wish you a good life.

Owh.. and I have to mention my friend Amir. Dia ni gila sikit... molot lak cam sial - kalah mulot akak-akak (tapi yang ni memang jantan tulen - bukan feeling cover je tulen padahal konsep sejenis tak ngaku - yang mulot laser).

Thanks for all your concern mate. You like family dah ok!

He even did a beautiful entry. You MUST read this if you have been following my drama, and went through, or am going through what I went through. CLICK HERE to read Amir's beautiful entry yang ending macam sial wat aku gelak walaopon aku rasa teary eyed membaca everything else.

So thank you again everyone. I'm back. In so many ways.

Everything that has happened made me reflect so much on so many things.

And I am glad to say.. I am happier now than I've been for ages.

Eh cup. Sebab noya aku peaked on Sunday, aku memang tak share pics masa gi Faizal Tahir nya Adrenalin showcase kat Hard Rock Cafe Kuala Lumpur kan?

Hah... ni album Adrenalin on sale kat pintu masuk. Have you guys gotten your copy yet? Hey, it didn't win Album of the Year at AIM for nothing ok. It is an amazing album! Seriously!

Baju khas wat show Hard Rock Kuala Lumpur pon ada.

Belah belakang siap print out songlist of tunes to be performed tuh. Puas dok belakang mamat sekor yang pakai baju nih, tau jek aku lagu apa yang akan diperform. I like!

I was joined by member skolah rendah aku si Helmy and bini dia sekali. Jarang meka nak ke benda alah konsert dan sebagainya. Tapi demi nak tengok Faizal live, sanggup sampai amik babysitter.

Sorry la ta dapek jumpa Pejal. In fact ramai gak fans aku tau sedih tak dapat jumpa their fave act. Mana taknya, letih dowh mamat tuh. Rehearsal bagai, and packed schedule. Pastu sebelom show Hard Rock Cafe lak, dia kena perform kat Gah 1 yang nan hado, before rushing to make this engagement.

Ish ish ish... and he did sound very tired. Tapi Faizal rocked it anyway and it was a good show (tapi honestly, show Hard Rock Cafe Penang meletup agik).

Sebab ramai fans tak dapat jumpa Faizal pas abih show, korang nak tau sapa kerumun pas abih show?

Tuh dia!!! Audi Mok jadik mangsa seterusnya. Famous dowh Audi. Bukan famous sebarangan. Faizal siap paksa dia naik pentas. Heh! Malu gila. I mean, we all know Audi ni stok pemalu overdose. And his endearing weirdness memang wat orang gelak je.

Ni satu agik snap for fans masa tu. Altimet kena tarik ngan Audi tuk join skali.

And that's it. Kalao korang nak pics Faizal lebih, check my previous entries for the batch of photos and stuff from Penang punya show.

Hah... so ni entry penutup noya, and also entry terima kasih merangkap entry nak letak pic tertunda gituh.

I will be returning to normal and so from here on - no more bullshit about how losers affect me. Roll on karma! Yeay!

PS - Night out with some other friends tonight. Jalan-jalan!

Selamat malam...

Whoaaa. malam semalam memang havoc.

I didn't take too many pics cause aku da mata berair, hidung berhingus bagai. Euw..!!! But the show, trust me - was awesome!

Faizal was at his best, walaopon terlupa lirik a little and all, but the energy of his performance was staggering.
Cup! Iklan jap! All Hard Rock Cafe mesti ada rock memorabilia kan? But in Penang, I spotted dua yang memang make me want to break the glass of the display case and bawak lari isi nya.

And the things that caught my eyes were...

Tuh dia. The black motorcycle hat, I've seen Madonna wear before!

Me likey Madonna big time, so I was just looking at this item lama-lama. Autographed tuh!

And if that wasn't enough....

And that's the second item. That bustier which she wore during the Who's That Girl tour.

Matilah... anyways... was bushed, and after the show naik bilik tidur jap. Well konon nak tidur... tapi tak pon. Stakat makan ubat, rehat jap, and later supper ngan kengkawan (lapar lak tetiba), and tengok-tengok Faizal and gang pon winding down sana.

Anyway, pada fans of Faizal - here are some more pics for you guys.

Note the FT guitar he's holding, has been given to Hard Rock Cafe Penang and will be displayed there.

Er... last pic tu propah ye. Si Faizal wat ala ala nak smash it, but trust me, he didn't. Matilah nak ganti since da jadik Hard Rock Cafe Penang property dah.

Will post later.. still not feeling too well.

Achoo!

Just a quickie entry on day two in Penang. Hari ni PC pelancaran for the Adrenalin album. Whooping it up here in Hard Rock Hotel Penang... if I didn't feel sick.

Running nose, and tearing eyes.. aduh.

Still held it together kat Hard Rock Cafe masa launch tadik... but I definitely need a doctor soon.

Still things good. It's actually fun here, cuma sayang I'm not in the state to enjoy it all. Nak turun to the beach pon takde mood. Aduh...

By the way... for Penangits or those heading here, for one month only, get something special on the Hard Rock Cafe Penang menu.

There's the Adrenalin burger - and the Adrenalin drink (which is delicious!).

By the way, I like the Hard Rock Cafe here better than KL. It's nicer.

Yang pentingnya kat luarnya...

No it's not Abraham Lincoln walaopon ala kat memorial tuh. It's the King of Pop. And yes... he's white.

Ok la.. tanak tulis panjang-panjang. Takde mood. Ni some pics masa photoshoot Faizal tadik. Cantik tak?

Hope you guys like the pics. Nanti aku update lagik ek.

Penang!

Yeay! Aku kini update blog dari bilik kat Hard Rock Hotel kat Penang!

Kami gerak tadik about noon. Berhenti sampai tiga kali... tiap kali aku nak tidur je, berhenti. Nangis!

Sampai je kat Juru, this was the sight that greeted us.

Tuh dia! Ramai bikers menunggu nak escort ke pulau. Ko hado?

And antara nya....

Superman himself! Amik ko si Pejal feeling outrider kah? Tapi serious memang meriah!

Remember the FT logo ek. Kalao ko ingat - logo ni gak cover Adrenalin. Show it off, Faizal.

Now pose sikit depan bas kita. Bas siap wifi ok! Sepanjang perjalanan aku online. Aku suka.. perjalanan berapa jam tak rasa pon, ok!

And yang best nya ngan escort convoy bagai.. jalan Penang yang sesak slalu, kosong je. Laju je kita sampai destinasi.

And destination? Hard Rock Hotel kat Penang.

Pemandangan dari lobi pon da meletop. I think the Hard Rock brand is overrated... but Hard Rock Hotel Penang is like WOW! Memang cantik.

Yang penting... aku suka cermin bilik air. Rasa nak kebas. Grand!

When finally got up in my room - amik ko pemandangan. Heaven sangat, ok!

Pillow ni nak kebas leh tak? Matilah ko kan sangap sangat sampai sofa cushion pon soka katanya...

Nanti aku updatekan agik. Ni nak rest jap pastuh nak dinner.

Kronologi Cinta

First of all, congratulations to Vince for launching his fourth album pas Vince, Janji Vince and Percayalah Sayang. Skang terbitlah... Kronologi Cinta.

Dalam time company memasing semua sengkek nak kuar single je (sebab sendiri tarak confident langsung product memasing leh jual) NSR actually released a full album for Vince, juara Akademi Fantasia suatu tika dahulu in 2003.

Amik ko.. ada juara pon yang da bye bye dah... apa lagik nak kuar album, Vince masih hanging tough with a new album.

So congratulations Vince. Lama da tak jumpa mamat nih. Slalu jumpa mom dia and Vanessa jerk (Pam pon tapi minah ni skang lagik sibuk). Biasala.. adik beradik semua satu kuarga skang da star.

Pe pon... sapa minat Vince, get his new album NOW! Dah release pon. Dengar penjualan doing quite well because while it's just been released, dah ada repeat order katanya.

On top of that, dia also nak kuarkan a Chinese-medium EP. Amik ko... conquer bukan satu market tujuan nya tuh.

The 'funnest' things hari ni though wasn't attending the launch of Vince's album. But after that when was having a meeting. Happened to be online and caught this activity in Twitter.

Now we all know Twitter and Facebook are bad right? Evil even.. because our leaders tell us so.

Cue a particular comment from a Minister I blogged about before this.

Here's a refresher.

Malaysians advised against being immersed in Facebook, Twitter

SEREMBAN: Malaysians, especially Muslims, must avoid being totally immersed in the internet culture, especially Facebook and Twitter, said Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.

He added that facilities like internet could not be accepted wholly because it was a form of business introduced by the West and "Malaysians were just users."

"We are not saying that they cannot use Facebook or Twitter but when using such facilities they must upkeep the values taught by Islam, Buddhism or Christianity to maintain our culture," he told reporters after opening a Seminar on the 1Malaysia concept here on Saturday.

He added that Malaysians who used internet services on social networking sites should be careful with what they see and hear.

"We must be strong in our believes and culture because the identity and image of our country depends on us.

"They are just selling Facebook, Twitter, L-Band and various other services, even through space, as a product but we do not do such business. We accept all this in a state of cultural shock," he said.

He chided some Malaysians who belittled those who were no savvy of the Facebook and Twitter culture.

"We should not be quick to condemn or look down on those who do not use Facebook. Newspapers are still relevant, so is Facebook, but do not be carried away with everything and disregard the old system," he said.

That was part of the article taken from The Star a few days ago. To read more CLICK HERE.

So how did all the beautiful Malaysians respond in true 1Malaysia fashion?

While someone was probably wearing a cap that said this...

And planning the death of Twitter and Facebook...

Everyone united in the spirit of togetherness and created a trending topic (if you don't know what that is - it's basically a topic by term) on Twitter called (get ready for this) #yorais.

The point of the hashtag discussion? To talk (more like try and outdo each other) about how antiquated the Minister is.

And the result?

Thousands of Tweets that made #yorais one of the most Tweeted trending topics on Twitter. Check out the snapshot from here. I swear at one point it was actually second! And the guys tried to outdo themselves to go for most tweeted.. but I left for supper. So I opted out of the fun.

Joined back on Twitter only much, much later... and the fun had ceased (everyone needed sleep, I guess). But the fun part? Seeing at least one smart politician who used Twitter to be.. well.. smart!

Congratulations KJ. At least someone thinks before he says.. or Tweets anything. Respect! As for #yorais, wonder if the fun will continue tomorrow...
