Lethergic

Something's just sapped the strength and spirit out of me. Terasa tak larat je hari ni.

Still mustered enough strength to drop by the Gatsby finals to watch who was going to represent Malaysia for the finals. Korang ingat tak masa aku menang Nintendo wii tuh? Time tu kan pelancaran. Anyway... earlier today they got the winners already. A duo by the name of Electro Shock. Think I got their name right.

Check out the Gatsby range of products


I recorded some videos but haven't checked them out whether it's suitable for upload. Nanti jer aku usha.

Anyway, the event was held in Mardi Gras kat lakeside Promenade of the 1 Utama old wing. Memories siot area sana zaman belajar... but I'll save that for another time.

Heard about this club before, but never checked it out sebelom ni. Masuk biasa je. In fact aku rasa decor dia murahan sikit. Konon minimalistic.

But one feature yang meletup about this place was this.

No idea what this is?


Now if you still don't know what this is read below...


Tuh dia!

Ok for those of you who don't know what this is, basically it's a pole, with a shower 'curtain'. Very common erm.. fixture kat clubs... in Bangkok, that is. Memories. Oops!

Kira ada la yang nari kat tengah tuh, sambil dibasahi air hujan gituh konsep, while working the pole. Get the picture?

Interesting addition to an otherwise random looking choice of decor.

Anyway, pas abih event tuh, aku jalan around 1 Utama, but started getting sick of all the Christmas festivities, thinking as to how tahun ni aku kena watch my spending (sigh), so decided to go for a movie nak layan blues jap.



Chose Jim Carrey's Yes Man. Aku sejak hari tuh tengok trailer dia, cam minat lak nak tengok, so passed Histeria to watch this.

Watching a movie alone, might be.. well... lonely. But just felt the need to be alone. Once a while leh tengok movie gak tanpa commentaries or enquiries. Matilahhhh...

And this movie was just what I needed (except for that creepy TGV staff yang dok belakang aku in the last row right at the corner who had his legs up on the front seat sambil terhenjut semacam - I honestly dread to think what he could be doing... ewwwww!!!)

It's about learning to say yes, so as not to miss opportunities in life, but also learning to take them in calculated, measured choices supaya you make the best of things.

Inspiring...

Just kalao korang trailer dia mungkin tertipu la sikit. Sebab not the whole movie is a laugh a minute affair. It's funny, but it's not dumbed down for just that all the way. So depends what kind of moviegoer you are, on how you appreciate this movie.

After the movie, went for dinner with Bob and headed home straight. Ngantuk gila! After about four hours sleep, takleh tido lak... aduh...

Esok tengahari nak ke Johor. No pries for guessing for what.

Yeap of course for Mawi's wedding lor.

Sedih lak bila pikirkan Mawi getting married. Not about his choice ke apa ke... just cam tak caya time flies by so fast.

Ingat lagik first day dia kuar Akademi pas eliminated. Camna diri dia time tuh, and how he went through the typical 'penyakit juara' ubah perangai before dia came back down to earth after realising his mistakes.

Found the picture sebelah. Ni pic aku, Mawi dan Wan masa kat Mauritius. Good times... and also one where I had a really long, serious talk with him.

And now... in just a few short years kenal dia, botak ni da nak berumahtangga da, after all the controversies and gossip. How they grow up so fast... matilah aku... heh.

So to Mawi, all the best for Saturday. Hope you made the best decision for yourself, and if for you this is the best, then I stand by you no matter what anyone says. It is YOUR life after all, no one else's.

Meroyan apa lak ni...

Entah... down sangat. Kot ler sebab weddings memang make me depressed. Ye lah.. orang sana sini da dapat pasangan hidup. Aku ni entah bila la.. always making the same mistakes over and over in relationships and life choices when it comes to love.

Matilah emo.... ok la.. nak out packing dulu. Be posting next from Johor, kids.

Nintendo Wii!

So how did the Gatsby event go? Guess who has a spanking, brand new Nintendo Wii!!!If that wasn't enough, the prize I won also came with the Wii Fit! (Click both items to get a description of what they are - malas nak explain)
Altogether the prize is worth almost RM2,000 sebab ngan game semua skali. Matilah!!! Aku da so hooked on the Internet takde masa tuk nak layan Astro sangat pun.
Ni lak ada gaming console ni matilah aku nak cari masa pakai. But I love it! I love it simply cause the last gaming console any sort I had was an Atari in the Eighties (matilah ramai tatau Atari tuh apa pun kan!).
Never been a big fan of games, tapi skali kalao duduk, melayan la gak. So yeay! My freakish paddle pop coloured mohawk won! Second big prize of the year pas arituh menang Nokia N958gb. Tak sabar when the next event offering something yummy will be. I'm on a roll!

It's mine!!! I won it!!!


Have to say, I kind of love the press kit they handed out. Check out the pen drive thingamajig they gave. Sebijik cam a container of Gatsby nya wax. Damn cute ok!



Anyway, the event itself was great cause Joe Flizzow and Popshuvit performed. Joe was backed by Cesar on the decks which made it all the more wow. Caught up with Joe. His album will be out in November. Hurrah for that. And dig this, it will be featuring KRS 1. never mind if you don't know who he is. He is just one badass legendary rapper.




But if you guys are still wondering what was the actual event launched, it was for the Gatsby Styling Dance Contest (no, I have not been paid to promote them, nor do I do it cause I got the Wii)

It's a cool event cause, basically, all you have to do it upload a minute long video of you, dancing, while styling your hair. Winner eventually goes to Shibuya, Japan (one of the great fashion capitals in the land of the rising sun apart from Harajuku) and compete among winners of si other countries.

CLICK HERE for more info. Meanwhile, aku nak gi plug in my Wii and give it a try.


PS - Just found out the Wii Fit siap leh exercise skali. Matilah!

Susuk sucks!

Siang tadik pagik buta aku da bangun nak hantar my sis ke KLIA. She overnight kat Jakarta, then pastuh next week, she moving to Jakarta. Sedihnya!!!! Nak nangis rasanya. Kita adik beradik berdua je, and she is my inspiration and strength for everything. But tu seminggu lagik. Sigh. And besides I get to visit her too since she going to be there anywhere from a minimum of three months, to a possible six, or maybe longer on attachment there for her Indonesian clients, Pertamina.

Habis je ke airport, rushed back to KL nak singgah Persatuan Akademi Industri Muzik.
Can you believe it???!!!

By election kat Permatang Pauh, sini lak ada road block? Unrelated? Coincidence? Lousy traffic system? Whatever!

Pakai SmartTag pun berkilometer panjang beratur. Cam lahanat!



Took me ages to get to the Akademi office. Tujuannya nak pick up invite sebab Atie ajak ke launch dance event sponsored by Gatsby. Yang penting, invitation comel sangat ok. Cam buku, tapi bila bukak, amik ko, wax dan cermin. And it's the same moving rubber yang aku pakai. Wat stock ler nih.



Since I go to Akademi like once a year, everytime AIM nak dekat je, so lepak sat kaco Nicole.Also decided to snap a few shots around their office of things that caught my eye. Yerlah... da berapa hari blues, cam diabaikan lak blog aku ni.

So here some shots.

The coveted trophy of local music


Hey, Jennifer Thompson masih simpan that cover story by me of her!


Erm.. Nicole. There's something over you. Get the technician quick lah!


A magazine spotted featuring a very familiar beautiful person


Later, joined the beautiful person on that mag cover as well as Juan to watch Susuk. Was more excited to see a movie on the International Screens titled Body, tapi hey... support the local movie industry kan.Faz in High School Musical 3?


My verdict? Don't waste your money.I mean, for Susuk, aku puji director of photography dia. Art direction, camerawork, lighting, and maybe even the effects deserve ler some pujian.

But everything else was utter, self-indulgent crap. I don't believe I wasted RM9 on it! Damn!

Even the acting was inconsistent. Diana Rafar leh dipuji cause she was ok but wonky in some bits. Ida Nerina delivered the goods. Everyone else was forgettable and added to the yawn factor of the movie.

Yes, it gets a little confusing, but worked out what was the story being told. Just didn't like it for more reasons then I should have.

Argh.. need some sleep. Hate how local horror movies end up so cliched and a B grade rip off of Hollywood productions. Let's have more originality please!
