Excuse me?

I am dead tired! I mean like realy sparuh mati punya letih! Mana taknya. Pagi da jaga, rushed to pick up Stacy and Cherry. Janji Ika dan Yana skali, tapi meka gerak dulu bersama Nurul ke Akar Karya sebab takut lewat. Aku lak nak wat camna... damned Federal Highway tu was one giant parking lot.

Sampai studio, semua jamu selera melantak kat mamak kat bawah sambil wait for everyone to arrive.

When rehearsals started, it was almost a tedious process, sebab sorang sorang kena take turns before finally time to practise for the group performances and such.

We finished about 9pm, and rushed ke Sunway lak, tuk Stacy practise bersama bekas teman sekumpulannya in Evoke, headed by Chaq. Oh by the way, the other girl that was in Evoke, Yanie, pun da sampai sini. Picked up up from Sentral yesterday - and hari ni all out dia practise nak catch up the routine for Stacy's solo performance di Konsert Reunion Akademi Fantasia.
But letih camna pun, it was worth it sebab tengok their choreography, and Stacy's performance memang meletup. Tanak cakap lagu apa dia bawak... just wait ek... worth it! Possibly one helluva performance that you guys should catch.

Finished almosty 2am!!! Aiyo! We've been out something like more than 14 hours!
Nangis la camni. Rushed the ladies back sebab Stacy has to leave for Kuching like pagi pagi buta for a show there tomorrow night.

Aku pun nak KO jap ni... just a few random pics from the sessions today. Malas amik bebanyak. More to come from Melaka in just a couple of days.

Stacy dan Stanly (yang sebelah tu kakak dia Cherry) gigih ni time tunggu giliran


The waiting game. Alif dan Faisal tunggu jerk...


Aik... Lufya camera shy lak. Si Yana perhatikan apa pun aku tatau..


Saida candid!


Alamak.. jerawat manis!


Naim dok lepak luar tunggu


Nadia and Riz practising as well


Ika sempat pose


All together for dance rehearsals for the bonus song as well as Menuju Puncak





By the way, for you guys into Stacy, her best of compilation featuring persembahan dia dalam semua konsert Akademi Fantasia musim keenam is out soon! How soon? No official word yet, but should be in stores by the end of the week or early next week. Jangan lupa beli yang original tau!

Mondays....

Today Stacy had her meetings and stuff, so didn't need to do anything. Aku dok tidur nak catch up on sleep today. Took a break from all the paperwork project lain bertimbun. So need sleep! Pas hectic beberapa hari ni with so many things on my plate, kicked back and relax! Plus needed to fix the damn phone line yang hancur kena sambar kilat! Hanjeng sangat tau... Telekom da la lembab nak mampos!

Malas nak go into that. Yang penting nya... dapat tidur. Yeah!

Sleep is such a commodity these days.

Anyway petang tadi meeting tuk production dan bebudak semua for Konsert Reunion coming up in less than a month. The meeting was to discuss lagu lagu 'tugasan' untuk konsert tu. Best gak lagu lagu pilihan. Some at least suited the kids strengths more than before this. Also bebudak lain yang non-finalists finally dapat trophies meka.

Meanwhile, aku chilled at Astro jer la. Saida bagik dengar single yang dia da rakam. Nice! Tapi dia malu malu cepat cepat sambar phone dia tutup bila ada orang dekat. Alahai... malu malu lak.
Eh anyway ni some pics sempat amik. Sori ler not everyone aku dapat snappy. Ramai dapat jumpa pas so long tak jumpa cam Nadia, so borak mana sempat and snap sapa sempat.

Alif


Nadia


Stanly


Macam kembar kan? Kakak Stacy, Cherry dengan Saida


Faisal


Ika


Lufya


Stacy (muka pelik sebab letih ok... heh.. shooting seharian tak sempat buang make up)


Supposed to go for dinner after we were done but Stacy lak kena shooting Aku Stacy konon supper ler. Cherry ajak join skali. Tapi sebab da janji ngan Stanly nak l;epak ngan dia sebab dia pun balik sini sehari jerk, along with Juan and Bobby yang skali bak Alif dan Faisal, so decided takper ler.

Gi Ikea sat beli barang before gi melantak kat Uptown.

Tomorrow another day... yawn... out...

Goal!!!

Had a good rest the whole day and only left the house belah malam je. Firstly, I had to pick up some stuff. So a quick round of unsuccessful shopping tak jumpa apa aku needed tuh.

Then headed to the location determned by Stacy FC for her online chat session on the official website.

Semua da sampai by the time I got there. So started setting up my laptop, camera pun keluar, webcam pun keluar. Macam cybercafe da restaurant kami lepak tuh.

But it was fun, because kali ni I think over a dozen, including Stacy FC punya AJK semua join in.
Aku set up webcam on Tanakwagu's laptop tapi problem, so had to set up on mine, but sangkut kat his laptop which Stacy was using so people could view her chatting.

I think about 19 people managed to get on webcam, while those who couldn't aku direct upload pictures snapped on the spot.
Ni some pictures of the chat session.

Cherry tech support .


Sempat senyum walaupun balancing calls with online chat session.


Milo ais dia pun tak sempat minum (Stacy punya ke?)


Sempat senyum, pose for the cam


Tu belakang tu Tanakwagu. Enter frame ek


Stacy continues chatting. Cherry lak balas SMS


Focus kat keyboard ni...


Aku rasa chat kali ni paling gila sibuk skali. Stacy, backed by Cherry, chatted, waved to the webcam on request, and also took phone calls from fans yang nak cakap dengan dia, selain dari sign autographs to be sent out. But it was all in good fun, and Stacy I think spent over two hours.

Dah lah tak sempat buang make up semua pas meeting tuk konsert Cornetto next weekend.

Aku pas abih, packed up, sent both Stacy and Cherry back and then headed to Danau Kota sebab da janji ngan Juan dan Ayien and wife. Yang menunggu sana, si Alif dan Faisal.

Plan nak tengok bola, Portugal lawan Germany. Actually aku tak minat Euro. Lagikpon aku da lama tak layan bola. Kang sangkut je, obsessed. But malam ni decided tak per la.. layan!!!!

Muka bola


Tuh dia. Muka bola katanya. Si Alif skali ngan Juan, Ayien, dan Naim dan Tada yang join pastu sokong Portugal. Tinggal aku da Faisal je sokong Germany. Tengah nak layan bola, biasa la lapar. so pening nak ,makan apa sebab selera kureng sikit.

So dalam tema Euro, settled for Western food gituh.

Satay? Western food?


Western ke??? And all this while aku ingat satay ni local fare, Amik ko...

Layan punya layan, Bastian Schwienseiger scored the first goal for Germany in the 22nd minute. Semua muka stress, aku dan Faisal jer gelak sambil salam.

Just over three minutes later, Miroslav Klose scored another for Germany.

Alif terus kata dia ngantuk. Heh... dia dan Faisal gerak nak balik dulu. Aku pujuk kata takpe, kita bagi sebijik lak kat Portugal.

Baru dia gerak je, Gomes scored one for Portugal. Heh.. amik ko! Masin mulut aku. Tapi aku da kata mesti Germany menang.

So by the end of the first half aku balik. Sampai rumah layan lagi.

Surprise, surprise... Germany beat Portugal 3-2 by the end of the first quarterfinal match of Euro 2008 being the first to book a berth into the semifinals.

It's been a good night.

More.. and more... walaupun...

Yes, here are a few more pics. Pas abih malam media, kami semua diam diam gi private supper gituh. Bukan haper... but year in year out, this kids semua, whatever happens to them, unlike some yang tak amik pot meka pas abih competition, I keep in touch with them as like I say, they've become part of the Fantasia family.

Fans come, fans go - the real fans join the Fantasia family - which includes former students, and those who follow the kids no matter what.

For those yang sebelum ni tau la.. susah senang I know their problems and stakat mana leh bantu, I try. And I am proud of my Fantasia family which I've become part of for six years now.
Whatever my stand on their abilities inside the Akademi, outside, this is what happens.
And that's why Akademi Fantasia is so special to me.

It's given me REAL friends and REAL family. Working together closely, it's not hard to get close and to feel pride over their successes and sadness at their failures.

I wish all these kids in the sixth season all the best, and hope they will live up to the Fantasia family tradition of being one.

Anyway, masa supper ramai gak aku berjaya organise.

Wan, Nik and Su from Maestro and Astro, Juan and Linda Jasmine selain the kids in Alif, Faisal, Naim, Lufya (and friend), Rina, Nadia and Riz made up our private supper club yang by invite only.

Salute Riz join walaupun dia pagi buta tadik balik kampung nak shooting Trek Selebriti.
Toi kena balik sebab member dia kat rumah, Ika and Yana went back, while Nubhan entah ke mana. Stacy couldn't join though she was supposed to and kesian dia di paksa join bebudak production sebab nak briefing ke Sabah today for the Aku Stacy shoot. Wait for pics on that.

Rojak da janji nak email pics Stacy di sana.

Anyway, enjoy the few pics of our supper club gathering kat Kopitiam di Jalan Yap Kwan Seng where we enjoyed our fun time.

Er.. tu bukan benda mistik melayan ek. Aku isap rokok time sibuk amik pic ni


Hah.. ni baru betol...lamanya Nadia pose!


Riz lapar habis, while Lufya sempat stop pose


Tagteam ni asik gang bersama je sepanjang malam


Wan and Linda.. belakang tuh enter frame perhal. Si Alif pun perasan


Su and Nik (thanks Nik for being the sweetie of the night!)


And finally... ni a video of persembahan Stacy masa dia nyanyikan Aku Stacy. Aku tak sempat amik the other performances, tapi this is fun sebab semua menggila menari sekali. Enjoy the video.. and be posting more soon.

Malam media AF6

As usual every year, tamatnya Akademi Fantasia, we have the media nite ngan bebudak. It's times like this yang kita orang semua let our hair down and just have fun.

Semua kritikan ke kutukan put aside, and we all start fresh to celebrate their lives as artistes.


Gituh! Tahun ni fun sebab intimate, tak ramai yang menyemak sebab biasanya ada yang siap bak tuh nih la kalao tau pasal the night. This time memang fun gila sebab those yang datang yang bebetol wat keja sepanjang musim, and also those yang sporting abih.

Cuma biasalah not everyone there bebetol Akademi Fantasia freaks like some of us. Kita nih, as me me and beberapa orang kawan kawan, abih je musim, all of them become friends, no matter how dirty the b***hing the season was. Keluarga Fantasia masih hidup, and I keep in touch with a lot of them from musim pertama lagik. Tapi biasalah, ada yang menyemak gak... walaupun... tapi takde beza sebab I still enjoyed myself.

Tahniah to the kids yang nampaknya most of them da coming out of their shell. Cuma Stanly je tak ada tadik, not sure why.. tapi Stacy kata dia tak sihat.

But apart from that.. aiyo! Havoc!

Malas nak tulis any more. Nak melantak beramai ramai supper nih ngan bebudak. Layan jer pics. Kalao korang line slow aku tak dapat tolong ler.

Enjoy all the pics, and remember, if you want to keep them for personal collection, boleh. Kalao nak publish memana, please jangan lupa CREDIT dan LINK my blog.

Aku takyah watermark sebab kalao sesapa nak tipu ni pics meka, bodohlah.

For the real fans - enjoy.
