Congrats Ning!

Aku recovering from a night of partying! Actually overdose pekena milo ais dan kopi O ais sebab lepak ngan kengkawan semalam.

Mana taknya... smalam dah ler full day nak gi two different assignments. Pastu gegas lewat petang gi launching of Celebrities Club - co-owned by the one and only Ning Baizura.

Aku seriously teruja with the club, because as a lot of singers know - this is THE place to perform.

Dig JBL Everest! Damn!

Ramai artis da test power nyanyi sana - even dengar Datuk Siti Nurhaliza dan Datuk Seri Khalid Jiwa da drop by usha the club da.

Tak sabar sebab Atilia kata ada kemungkinan Malam Nada Biru 3 - featuring Aizat dan Marcell akan diadakan sana.

It is an amazing club - for music lovers. Kalao stakat nak stargazing and stalking, baik takyah ler sebab irritating kang sebab ramai ke sana nak enjoy the live music. And no teenyboppers here.

Anyway - the launch at Celebrities Club at Soho KL, Solaris memang happening and fun gila. Most of the live circuit performers were there. Altimet (sorry aku da gerak minum masa tu), Imran Ajmain, Iz, Atilia, Farhan, Elvira and a lot more people performed there - including the hostess, Ning herself pon nyanyi. Aku suka gila.

Aku melayan kengkawan ramai sampai lupa nak snappy. Only at the end of the night sempat camwhore nih jerk.

Ngan tokei besar, Madame Ning

With my ladies - Farhan, Hani and Atilia

When the crowd thinned out - aku layan free use of the Selphy by Canon. Awesome! Dari phone aku, aku print berpuluh pics jadi postcard. Matilah kan... nampak sangat camwhore punya bangsa.

Finally called it a night with some friends and lepak Dr Cafe Coffee nearby. Sampai 1 lebih da nak tutup so gerak ke Bistari lepak sambung sesi borak.

Then this happened.

Tuh dia! Sapa kata artis takleh lepak mamak? Gila ke haper kalao feeling stakat nak dok five star establishment jerk. Just in the case of Ning, she does it in style. Heh... sebenarnya konsep malam tukar baju and since Celebrities Club just across the road, dia drop by ngan laki diaOmar, Alywn, Ken, Altimet and some friends nak minum.

Tuh dia... tetap nak maintain vogue. Yang pentingnya baju ala ala feeling Dreamgirls - very Beyonce (matilah teringat member yang sebut Beyonce as BOUNCE!)

Arghhh... overdose lepak. Balik pon da kol 6.30 pagik. Matilah banyak diborak sampai lupa masa. Time to work my ass off jap. Ada benda nak abihkan...

PS - For those wondering what happened to the Natasha Hudson press conference by Alibi Music, tak jadik yer. Postponed. Until when tatau.

PPS - Universal Music mungkin akan tarik semua lagu mereka dari stesen radio satu nih. Sebab? Asyik dok promosi lagu-lagu sendiri sampai tahap sampah da mengabaikan orang lain dari feature lagu baru artis mereka. Ini tindakan drastik - especially nak protest tindak tanduk radio station yang sibuk nak feeling A&R nak ajar artis, label dan pihak pengurusan camna nak wat lagu. Kalao betul jadi - banyak artis akan ilang dari stesen radio tersebut. Local - Aizat, Anuar Zain, 6ixth Sense... ramai agik. Indonesian songs, English songs (termasuk Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Bieber, Timbaland etc) will no longer be heard on THAT radio station kalao jadi.

Najwa-tistic

Hari-hari malas berterusan. Ada la banyak yang memalaskan aku dari blogging wat beberapa hari. Ala.... ok lah tuh kan. Tiap hari nak ada entry, biar sekali sekala aku cuti dari nak terus blogging. Tu pun siap ada backdate entry lak.

Anyway, didn't do much today.

Popped in the office, mengamuk sikit. Mana taknya... ada la masaalah mendatang dengan Blackberry... simpan je la cita wat diri sendiri.

Anyway, temankan diri ngan layan show Najwa.

Apart from Yuna, seriously aku excited talent cam dia. Memang bakat yang leh wat terpukau bila bukak mulot. And seriously I think in the past year, I think she has matured so much.

Anyway, dia wat show kat Celebrities Club miik Ning. Sound? Awesome! Aku suka gila nak tengok show sini. Entry RM25 more worth it than most showcases I've been to.

Had two sets yang best gila! Layan... ni sapa minat Ning (lagu baru dia Mama Papa on air skang... jangan lupa request) and Najwa (me likey likey her a lot!) - aku snappy pic tuk korang.

Ok Monday, and decent start to the week.... pasni mintak-mintak rajin blogging balik.

But by the end of this week, ada something exclusive nak share ngan korang. Sapa da lama ikut blog aku mesti suka...

Boom

Hah.. sebab aku ni cam pemalas beberapa hari ni (walaopon sebab sibuk), ni nak update entry panjang sikit sebab rehearsals semalam went well and lega sikit, plus dapat balik awal sikit (awal pon kira tengah malam la).

Semalam, sempat interview sorang kawan (tanak sebut nama dulu). Da jadi pengusaha tokei besar!

She's a diva, and definitely iconic dalam muzik Malaysia. Berapa ramai je kan yang kita leh iktiraf camtuh. But she's on that level no matter what you say - and I think selain dia, hanya Siti Nurhaliza, Ziana Zain, Sheila Majid among the few with upcoming legends like Jac. Kira the voices that defined Malay pop gituh.

Anyway - for those who love live shows kan... you know like Malam Nada Biru, No Black Tie... or even those gig like Sunday Nite Live dulu zaman Planet Hollywood, prepare for the ultimate venue in live entertainment.

I love this club! Baru bukak.. lom officially launch. Tu bulan depan je. But I got a sneak peek. Kengkawan artis pon da mula perform sana test power. Tempat memang kelas! Sound and acoustics - the BEST in Kuala Lumpur. Any performer worth his or her salt will agree with me on that.

Mai usha pics. Ni exclusive hah! Layan!

Benda paling aku makan hati! Speaker pakai JBL Everest! Sapa tatau pasal speaker cukup aku katakan sebijik ni da enam angka!

Not sure what this is - a Yamaha? But I love it! Merah itam cam rambut aku - aku so sleek and sexy!

AKG tuh... no karaoke microphones please!

Drum kit - the whole stage set up kemas and ruang spacious

And this is the club (makan hati LED screen dia).

Tanak sebut sapa co-owner club nih - but she is a dear friend and a real singer and performer yang akan keluar album baru tak lama agik. Lagu pon semua aku da dengar. Best! Bangga!

Aku unveil sapa owner nya nanti. Tapi kalao nak check out the club for classy and quality live music - Celebrities Club is in Solaris. Tatau mana Solaris, then tunggu je la. Heh!

Pas abih interview lepak gi minum borak lak... sambung sana. Went to Shokolart. So wrong to be on a diet when you're surrounded by killer chocolate treats.

Tanak-tanak... ni kena hidang. Aiyak! Bits for tea katanya. The chocolate is just sinful, ok! Matilah pinggang aku semakin kembang!

Pas abih... tengok-tengok da ujan ribut. Risau. Aku ada dua sesi rehearsal. Sesi satu, vocalists and percussionists.

Second percussionists with band.

Merasalah sangkut jam yang macam lahanat sesungguhnya!

Soalan cepumas aku - mana polis trafik time nih? Takkan tengah sibuk tahan dak 15 tahun bak keta tanpa lesen. Oops!

Whatever it is - everything's good. The rehearsals went well. We're back on track. Nanti malam esok abih rehearsal aku bagik korang sneak preview apa kita nak wat hari Sabtu nih di tengah-tengah KL. It'll be a musical flashmob like you've NEVER seen before.

Tak caya tunggu tengok je.

Meanwhile.. me nak rehat dulu ek. Doakan segalanya sukses yuk!
