And the finalists are...

So malam tadi semua da tau kan sapa yang layak ke Anugerah Juara Lagu.

Well... sebelom I get on to the full list of songs that made it, I want to wish congratulations kepada semua lagu yang layak berdasarkan kualiti komposisi dan bukan atas sebab sebab lain ye.

Laser semacam kan? Well, hakikat kan? At the end of the day, some songs yang qualified (memasing paham la mana satu) memang don't belong in the elite league of compositions which will face off kang masa di AJL.

To friends, I personally congratulate Alya, Estranged, Stacy and Misha kerana meka akan perform kat pentas akhir. To Aizat - I am especially proud of you cause it was a fitting tribute (whether you thought of it or not... and I'm sure she would be really proud too, bro, if she was here... cuma pasni jangan emo ke focus sangat sampai hanyut lupa lirik). To Hafiz and Akim - bangga ada gak anak-anak murid yang akan beraksi pentas AJL.

Aku happy for them personally.

To Yuna and Hujan, congrats - and pada orang kampung aku, Bunkface, you guys are the future of our music where there are talents who also sing their own compositions. You guys, Estranged and Aizat definitely deserve in for the new breed of talents we want to lead the way.

Sebelom nak link pics... ni senarai penuh meka yang layak.

Senarai Lagu-Lagu yang layak ke Anugerah Juara Lagu 24
(Lagu/Artis/Komposer/Penulis Lirik)

Aku Skandal/Hujan/Noh/Noh
Tak Mungkin Kerna Sayang/Alyah/Ajai/Habsah Hassan
Aurora/Estranged/Estraged/Estranged
Bengang/Akim/Amir/Sheikh Qalam
Aku Rindu Sayang Kamu/Black/Yuzai/Yuzai
Dan Sebenarnya/Yuna/Yuna/Yuna
Rindu Terhenti/Tomok/Aubrey Suwito/Tinta
Pakai Buang/Stacy/Edry KRU/Edry KRU
Kau Aku/Aizat/Aizat/Aizat/Aizat
Pergi/Aizat/Pete Teo/Amran Omar
Situasi/Bunkface/Sam/Sam
Bencinta/Faizal Tahir/Audi Mok/Faizal Tahir
Adam Dan Hawa/Misha Omar/Azmeer/Loloq
Masih Jelas/Hafiz/Aidit Alfian Ad Samad

Aku tanak wat prediction sapa akan menang ke haper. Wat skang, personally tuk aku, aku rasa lagu paling kuat adalah Pergi dan Bencinta (tu pun kalao Shila tak nyanyi yang menyakitkan telinga sampai tahap Akim wat tuk konsert Akademi Fantasia JAUH lebih meletop! Shila pon meletop - ala Altantuya uols.. pasang C4 lebih sikit... cam hanjeng sangat!!!!!!!)

Aku sakit hati tol serious dengar Shila nyanyi. Nothing personal against her, but I think she is so unsuited for the song. Sora dia tuh sesuai stakat lagu Britney Spears yang feeling overproduced in the studio je.

Anyway, a few horrible songs aside, looks like Muzik Muzik kali ni memang planned out well. For the sake of production - memang kali ni a good mix of bands, solo vocals yang power, mellower delivery and pop offerings. All in all, production heaven. Is that good for music in general... entahlah.

Anyway.. cukup panjang aku meroyan. Ni some pics.

Tuah anak... Rich and Velvet bawak anak meka

Hafiz masa PC

Estranged and Stacy

Smart dressing Alyah... anggota kelab Pelita baru...belanja Pelita woi da layak! Heh!

Anak-anak murid.. bangga aku!

Cantik sangat Misha Omar tadi

Tuh dia... make up flawless!!!


So tuh je la. Malas meroyan agik panjang. Nak siapkan artikel tuk paper yang meroyan sepenuh nya dengan penuh analysis yang mendalam. Fuh! Katanya...

Heh... anyway korang perasan tak pas Shila nyanyi semalam. Pastu Ezlynn puji puji when done, pastuh dia kata... "... walaupun..." Pecah perot kami kat sana gelak.

Dalam berdarah telinga... gelak gila babiks kita semua. Eh ok la.. panjang lak kang meroyan.

Konsert Akademi Fantasia TERBAIK!

Korang tengok tak Muzik Muzik semalam?

Ada tak sama ngan aku rasa cam ni la konsert Akademi Fantasia yang terbaik sebenarnya? Matilah!

Mana taknya... cam bebudak Akademi Fantasia je yang conquer.

Tapi yang penting, celah celah tuh, ada bakat in house lak yang layak. Cam minggu lepas gak. Nak salahkan sapa? Juri semua profesional. Kisahnya...

Entahlah... aku malam ni sebenarnya favourite song to make it is Khatimah Cinta dari 6ixth Sense. I fell in love with the song since the first time I heard it, sebab keunikan lagu tuh to be a fresh take on Malay rock.

Tapi nak wat camna. Tak dok top five. Harapkan score meka cukup tinggi nak layak je la.

Apapon, congratulations to semua komposer dan lyricist of those who were in the top 5 as they now stand a better chance of making it.

This is what happens when only five people determine what songs so into the final. Entah ke mana sistem penjurian Muzik Muzik kali ni. Dulu at least ada gak rotate.

Anyway... to the performers in Estranged, Nubhan, Stacy dan Akim, congratulations on the great show - and you guys deserve in.

Apart from those kids, I think Aizat did well pon walaopon tanpa guitar, he seems a bit lost. But he still did good nonetheless. Takpe... my fave song is Kau Aku, so at least that seems to have a stronger chance of making it.

Ok.. pic time.

Gaga-ish Stacy


Kenapa mata Rich tuh.. hah ni lupa lirik punya pasal la terbeliak! Matilah aku!


Mana bengangnya?


Didn't take so many pics. Jangan speku kenapa lak aku tak amik pic Nubhan. Memang tak sempat sebab kelam kabut sikit pas abih. Oit.. Akademi Fantasia da abih la.. rilek. Kang aku snappy la (in anticipation ada yang marah tak amik pic). Lagipon Nubhan sejak buang badi ni tambah improve banyak. Camtu la...




Ni some pics masa lepak kat Syed. Kebetulan Stacy dan keluarga Stacy FC pun ada. Akim FC pun ada, tapi Akim takde. I think dalam setengah jam kemudian baru Akim menyusul.

Anyway, nak lari topik sikit. Remember pasal Youtube aku suspended?

Ni response dari team Youtube. Thanks to Youtube for their speedy reply.



Dalang sebalik usaha nak sabotaj Youtube aku lom diketahui. But aku da file counter notice, and thankfully, Youtube is being very helpful. I have also filed for copyright claims on our KLCC flash mob video and I have filed complaints against the three accounts who duplicated our video.

So that's it. It's a short entry tonight. Will try and blog tomorrow.. FROM BALI!

Yeap, I have decided to go for Soundrenaline 2009 there. Speku pasal event, this year, the eighth, will also be the last. So seb baik la dapat peluang, thanks to Universal Music Malaysia. Bergabung... MALATUUPPP!!! Matilah...

Lots of big bands performing. Nidji, D Masiv, J Rocks and so on. Sayang je Samsons takde. Nangis jap. Ok la... nak sambung packing. My next entry will be - from Bali!!!! Yeah! Going to be there until Monday - so takyah nak noya ngan binatang-binatang sini. Yipee!

Over and out!

Muzik-Muzik Separuh Akhir

Wanted to upload this earlier, but tak larat sebenarnya. So here it is. Semalam gi separuh akhir pertama Muzik-Muzik di Sri Pentas 2, Plaza Alam Sentral di Shah Alam.

Tahun ni sebab takde kategori, it's supposed to be harder competition, tapi sebenarnya tuk aku, pecahan separuh akhir lak kali ni, at least for the first semifinal ni, tak begitu sengit. Leh tangkap da sapa akan mampu layak.

Ni lagu-lagu yang bertanding malam semalam.

Mirage /Pesawat/Jipie/Jipie
Kau Aku/AizatAizat/Aizat
Dia, Aku Dan Kamu/ Nadia & Red Peanut/Eddie Hamid/Ahmad Fedtri/Yahya
Oh Anok Anok/Reshmonu/Reshmonu/Farasha Osman
Tak Mungkin Kerna Sayang/Alyah/Ajai/Habsah Hassan
Aku Scandal/Hujan/Noh/Noh
Enjut/Noraniza Idris/Cat Farish, Roxy Tail & Illegal/ Ahmad fedtri Yahya, Cat Farish & Roxy Tail
Gila/Mila.Audi Mok/Nur Fatima
Dan Sebenarnya/Yuna/Yuna/Yuna
Raja Gelek/One Nation Emcees.Damien Mikhail.Daminal Mikhail, One Nation Emcees
Bertamu Di Kalbu/Jaclyn Victor/Anjang/Anjang

Disebabkan judging kali ni berdasarkan 30% markah dari persembahan secara langsung dan baki 70% daripada pemarkahan yang dilakukan sebelum, atas penilaian lagu from every aspect termasuk composition and lyrics, I already had my choices.

And after tiap persembahan, it was proven that my predictions menjadi la gak.

I wanted Mirage by Pesawat in, and I thought they deserved to be in. Entah haper yang juri pikirkan as this was one of the fresher sounds in the semifinal this time. On top of that, Pesawat has an appeal to them ramai tak berpeluang nak hear lagik. But knowing some other songs would get be focused on, based on whatever merits memang peluang meka kureng la sikit.

So walaopon semalam diumumkan, Raja Gelek, Kau Aku, Dan Sebenarnya, Tak Mungkin Kerna Sayang and Aku Skandal... ni cuma lagu lagu yang lima teratas berdasarkan pemarkahan as of yesterday. Seperti mana lima teratas ni tak janji masuk Anugerah Juara Lagu, gitu gak peluang bagi lagu lagu lain masih terbuka.

I already had a feeling that Mirage wouldn't make it. In the top five that is...

In fact aku da agak da kelima lagu teratas berdasarkan beberapa faktor.

Contoh, Aku Skandal dan Dan Sebenarnya. Undoubtedly the favorites of the night and rightly so memang layak, so takyah la nak cakap lagu-lagu ni membawa halatuju bawa dalam pop rock muzik tempatan. Tu kita semua pon da tau. Kau Aku pon was a confirmed choice for me to be in the top, sebab memang Aizat's maturity is songwriting is because he has not stuck to several conventions of market demands, unlike the jaded ones in the business who think sounding fresh - is something eccentric, pulling too much from other influences that simply don't gel, not works.

With three from these batch of youngsters, Pesawat had an uphill battle. Biasala. Judging bukan je wat dari kriteria-kriteria yang dikatakan. At the back of the minds of the producers, they have to think production wise gak. Kena la variety... konon la...

Tak Mungkin Kerna Sayang sebenarnya for me, aku letak dalam kategori sama dengan Bertemu Di Kalbu. Lagu yang bosan dan sebenarnya skema, kalao release 10 tahun lepas pon sama jerk. Nothing new... and boring as hell.

Tapi dua lagu ni, diberikan nafas kerana persemabahan penyanyi yang membawa kedua lagu ni, which is Alyah and Jaclyn Victor. Good for Alyah dapat lagu solo tuk peluang nak masuk bertanding Anugerah Juara Lagu. I think she deserves it walaopon aku rasa lagu tuh very the nan hado. As for Jac, semalam persemabahan dia menampakkan kematangan, a maturity which I've never seen before. There was an emotional connection to the song, without her resorting to merely just blowing everyone away with her powerful vocals. Hopefully... she gets it too.

And Raja Gelek? I think seriously this one memang buang masa. Stuck in the 90s, and predictable attempt to mash-up the sounds to make it sound localised and all. Maybe some like it, but I don't. Still, dah agak memang akan dapat top 5 pon.. so no surprise.

I kind of like the fact that One Nation Emcees appear more polished now than before, but still there's an amateurish air to their performance. Props to them though for trying... effort should always be applauded.

Unlike Mila malam semalam. Hancus... and nothing redeeming about her performance whatsoever. Still, both these names just didn't look like they deserved to be there as they would appear more at home kat Hari Penyampaian Hadiah skoleh menengah mana ntah.

Can't wait for next week, because I think there's going to be some serious competition then, plus on top of that, nak gak tengok carta, how lagu-lagu minggu ni stack up again next week's scoring.

I hope ada la surprise element sikit in the judging (for the better) cause being predictable takes the fun out of competition.

Apapon, ni some pics sempat snap smalam. The first batch ni masa baru sampai. Sapa yang serempak aku snap jer.

Sampai saat akhir, Cheryl the perfectionist touch up skrip


Nadia getting ready


Alyah pon tengah touch up


This next batch masa lepas pengumuman sapa top five for the night...





Masa semua orang tengah celebrate (nak raikan apa...masuk top five atau tidak tak menjanjikan agik masuk Anugerah Juara Lagu ma), aku gi borak ngan Jac kejap. So impressed with her performance. Not because of her usual power, but there was something a little extra malam tu.



Then it was back to the top five photo op session.





Because this is a song competition, of course lain la criteria, tapi kalao ikutkan performance wise, my ideal performers to have made it through (if kalao bukan top 5 je la) would have been Aku Skandal (Hujan), Dan Sebenarnya (Yuna), Kau Aku (Aizat) and Mirage (Pesawat). And either Alyah or Jac for those diva power vocals.

Tapi result lom tentu agik. Lagikpon, every year Anugerah Juara Lagu tiap tahun pun mesti ada yang very the mistake layak tuk bertanding. Heh! Korang ingat tak ada Aiman yang costume bagai? Aiyo... sesuatuh!

Anyway, spent some time talking to Yuna and Aizat, as well as hey hey ngan bebudak Pesawat.

First time borak ngan Yuna.. I like her


Aizat... ehem.. mana dia (matilah aku)


Pesawat rocks!


Can't wait for next week. Meanwhile, I'll leave you guys with Jac's performance. Walaopon lagu aku terbayang cam lagu recycle Ziana Zain yang patut kuar sometime awal 90an, but Jac did amazing. Kalao ada award best performance of the night, it would undoubtedly go to her.

Losing my cool

DISCLAIMER : AKU NAK MEROYAN SUMPAH SERANAH NGAN BAHASA 18SX SIKIT CAM ZAMAN DULU SO JANGAN BAGIK ANAK KECIK BACA. SAPA SENSITIF KE NAK TERASA KE.... GI MAMPOS!! JANGAN BACA. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Just like the title says.. I'm about to lose it.

Last year, when Estranged won with their self-composed Itu Kamu, we all applauded. Yeay for the validation of new talents, and shoo to the controlling names of composers and lyricists yang tiap tahun layak, and most of the time menang with their mediocre efforts.

What's that you say? Apa salahnya nama besar kalao bagus... well, I'm not denying some of the songs that have won before bagus, but... lauk pauk sedap mana pon, kalao biarkan berapa lama tuh - kalao asalnya sedap tetap BASI kan? Cam tu gak stail a few songs yang kalao tanding Anugerah Juara Lagu 1998 pun wouldn't have been out of place.

So last year, we all thought it was a signal that Anugerah Juara Lagu, the prestigious event yang recognise songwriting talents was undergoing a reformasi of sorts. Kan? Matilah ko... cam haram mengharap cam pelacur menjual tubuh tiap malam mengharap tak kena sifilis.

Or as I love exclaiming now... BUGHHIIIIIITTTT LUUUU!!! Tak paham takpe. Move along, folks.. nothing here to see.

So this year cam sial jerk kan? Separuh akhir is over, and we're left with a few good songs, and a few yang well.. to be polite, cam KIMAK saja dapat layak masuk.

Let's start with categories. Etnik Kreatif? What the FUCK! (Yes, da lama aku tak carut tanpa censored)

Terdesak semacam sampai lagu yang Mengharap Sinar or whatever leh masuk. Thus making the category yang dulu gah ngan some of the best tunes and best performances in the history of AJL, nothing more than a mere weak ass parody of what it used to be.

Nothing personal against Dior - but dude, or dudette can't sing, and the fact that sora dia cam bunyi enjin Pajero tak servis berdengung semacam... just shows how dead this category is.

Evolusi la ngok! Change the category into something like FUSION! Where all sorts of genres yang non conventional leh compete. Don't just have the category for the sake of having it kalao da takde orang nak bother entering it in its purest form.

Then kategori Balada. Apa lancau kategori Balada nih???? Dari dulu aku tak paham. What the fuck... sejak bila la orang kategori kan genre balada nih? So kalao rock ballad masuk Balada... leh tima ke??? Cam dulu lagu May... macam ke sial. Balada masuk kategori Pop on its own la.

Or do the organisers not know what POP music is? It encompasses anything deemed popular and accesible. Cuma pop ada pop dance, pop R&B, pop rock, etc. Cover la semua... termasuk ballads.

If that isn't confusing enough... ada lak kes salah dikategorikan oleh penganjur.

Mangsa kebodohan ni lagu lagu bagus... cam contoh, Cinta Terhalang. Kalao ikutkan klasifikasi, it's pop with R&B leanings. What the fuck lak kena calon sebagai Pop Rock, then bertaruh di separuh akhir sebagai Balada lak.

Lagu 6ixth Sense kat separuh akhir Balada apa kejadah. Juboq hang la! It's pop rock! Kenapa masuk balada BODOH!

Du-uh.

Then separate Pop Rock by having another category for ROCK. Ni nak masuk hard rock ke pop rock ke. Lagu yang dinyanyikan Fiq malam tadi, Bukti, cannot even be considered sebab kalao ikut kriteria kategori bangang diwujudkan, it should have been Balada bangang!

Arghhhh... da la semalam dengar ada lagu kena mark down sebab juri kata lagu tu dalam salah kategori. Cam sial!

Konon nak asingkan ballads from the main pop and rock tunes sebab slow dan laju konon takleh fight la. Kepala takuk itam ko la...

Abih camna you wanna judge something like Aku Lebih Tahu dan Aku Stacy yang pop dance and pop folk with a touch of rock against something like Yang Pernah, Lagu Untukmu and Mabuk yang all harder rock tunes in comparison?

Fuck it.

Stupidity and yes men work so well together to create chaos and anarchy.

Aku syukur Estranged and Meet Uncle Hussain dapat masuk semalam cause these are fresh new bands with their own well composed sounds who are getting recognition.

It won't stop the BASTARDIZATION of Malaysian mainstream music courtesy of something like AJL, but it'll soften the blow.

Still... it's not even funny.

For a prestigious event like AJL, to pull a cheap publicity stunt like wild card entries is just that... CHEAP! Just like some of the badly produced songs they let in.

I love Dingin, but semalam pengumuman lagu Dingin masuk cam tamparan bagik aku. Aku last week da katakan lagu like Teman Terulung, Dingin dan Cinta Terhalang as well as a few more patut layak ke final... bukan lagu cipap Ke Mercu haper haram tajuk tuh yang sound basi cam lagu sedekad lalu tak relevan or fresh. I mean songs semua yang competing bagus but that was just so wrong as that criteria didn't seem to be taken into account.

Back to Dingin, aku lagik rela lagu tu tak masuk akibat kebodohan pemilihan lagu nyanyian Ayu dan Spider, tapi maintain maruah. Ni cam saguhati murahan je akibat gimik sial tuh. Like you're not good enough, but look here, we got enough time to slot one more song.. so ko masuk la.

Pantat berulat tol! Ko hengat ni reality TV? And I thought AJL wasn't as cheap as that.

It's like the Grammys or even AIM umumkan pencalonan, and then last minute kata CAKKK!!! kami masukkan one more because it's so good (walhal sebab ramai orang carot maki hamun nak tengok Ziana Zain perform on AJL stage)

And if they really wanted to put Dingin in genunely, kenapa tak umumkan awal sikit? Even at the start of the Pop Rock show would be fine. Sebab not only composer dan lyricist lagu tak 'diraikan' on its own, it stole the thunder from the songs yang were supposed to be celebrated last night in the Pop Rock category.

And the jury?

Don't get me started. I respect everyone in the music industry. And the people yang judge pun semua experienced, and some actually knowledgeable. Shock horror!

Tapi...

Are they relevant? Come on. It's only human to be biased towards your personal preference.

Dari segi lirik contohnya. Ketara sangat, selagi ada lagu lirik ratapan bangsawan, selagi tuh la lagu yang inaccesible to the the music listening crowd tak recognised sebab kononnya simplicity is not taking the Malay language to the next level.

Come on. It's a song competition. Not a motherfucking poetry recital. Get people who know music. Not a damn dictionary.

A song, is telling a story, and for me, if it gets through the message it sends, and the message carries an essence of originality in relating its tale, dah ler. Takyah nak cam haram kena bahasa jiwa bangsat or whatever sebelom leh di anggap bagus.

And judging a composition. Aubrey Suwito is one of the names I look up to. But kekadang, Aubrey like a lot of people in this business, go stale with their sounds, and while they're still good, they ARE NOT RELEVANT. But sebab remaja veteran yang judge, so sounds ada yang dipilih tuh stuck in the zaman ubi kayu gituh (tak paham takpe) So don't get an uptight, old fart to judge lah!

This may not be a popularity contest, but come on. It's not curing cancer here. It's a fucking song competition. Don't be so anal about it.

Arghhhhh!!!! Everything's so wrong. How lah the music industry nak grow camni?

You see, that's the problem tau. Our growth is stifled by people who think like they did 10 or 15 years ago. They're the ones holding Malaysian music back and killing it.

Young blood and fresh ideas have to put up with so much bullshit to make inroads into the business.

Only a few musicians are left with their sense of taste intact, and remind themselves to be relevant. One of those greats for me is someone like Ramli MS. Dia ada feel apa current apa not.
They should use someone like him as jury... bukan some undeserving idiots on the jury yang every year moka sama, making the same mistakes.

Look people, there's a reason why they call it the music BUSINESS! Every business ada keperluan to be relevant to be alive.

Eeee... da lama tak meroyan aku nih.

Semalam aku setuju with most of the results actually. I predicted Yang Pernah, Lagu Untukmu, Kalis Rindu and Bukan Di Sini would get in and they did. Aku cuma terkejut Mabuk tak dapat. I mean, I love and support Stacy, but Aku Stacy is not the strongest song to earn a place in the final, and walaopon aku carot Spider masuk final ngan Bila Nak Saksi, for me Mabuk memang strong.

Well, at least no one can accuse me of being bias. But since Stacy da in aku sokong gak all the way as usual.

Entahla.. majlis meka, suka hati meka la kan. This is just my two cents worth, and as a viewer and lover of Malaysian music, just exercising my right, and my finger muscles nak meroyan camni.

To everyone who deserved a place in the finals, congratulations and do your best especially Estranged and Meet Uncle Hussain.

Siapa lagu cam cipap berkurap tuh, I hope you fall off the stage and die. Matilah... cam pantat. Don't like what I have to say? Fuck you! And then fuck you some more. I don't like your selection but I have to listen to them... so you can bloody fucking well put up with my random thoughts.

Da la.. layan pics... and bak kata the Bimbo.. keep it cool, people (but if you see the people responsible for the stupid decisions, smack those bitches)

PPPS - Congrats to Stacy Frenz for making their voices heard with their support! Keep it up guys.

Isn't it

I don't know. Things have been strange. Maybe I've just been thinking too much of things that I needn't go so deep into. Tapi entah kenapa...

Sabar je la kan. Tanak aku jadik drama queen and run away from my problems. I need to stand firm, and deal with them. No matter how painful it gets.

You can tell it's not been a good day.

Actually it didn't start that bad. It was ok, even up until aku gi Sri Pentas 2 for the dry run for the Pop Rock category.

Aku sampai lambat sikit. By the time I got there, they were two thirds done. Some like Estranged and so on tak hadir due to commitments. And those who performed earlier da balik.

Bebudak Meet Uncle Hussain, Spider, Elyana, Mila, Fabulous Cats, Flava were about. Stuck about a while to snap just a few. Esok lebih. Aku hari nileh terlupa aku nya memory card for my cam stuck in my laptop still, and internal memory hampeh, so rely pada handphone je ler nak amik pic. Esok bak digicam aku, snappy banyak sikit.

These were some shots aku larat amik.

Lan, I think, nama dia.. from Meet Uncle Hussain. Dok atas ngan pose bertapa


Mock announcement during the dry run


Mila pose cute


Sumo, Samsairol and Shahdan from Flava. Semua nama bermula ngan S


Aremeer Sofaz and Yanie, one of the cutest PRs around


Some additional info. Ni performance rundown.

Lagu-lagu dalam kategori POP ROCK (dalam giliran persembahan)

1. Separuh Masa (Edry Abdul Halim/Edry Abdul Halim/The Lima)
(akan dinyanyikan oleh Flava)
2. Aku Stacy (Intan Norul Azlin/Intan Norul Azlin & Layla Ismail/Stacy)
3. Kalis Rindu (Aidit Alfian/Ad Samad/Elyana)
4. Mila Bila Cinta (Audi Mok/Ad Samad/Mila)
5. Cinta Si Rama Rama (Edrie Hashim/Edrie Hashim/Hattan)
6. Bukan Di Sini (Sofaz)
7. Aku Lebih Tahu (Ajai/Loloq/Mila)
8. Bukti (Tony Iskandar/Loloq/Fiq)
9. Rimas (Cat Farish/Roxy Tail/The Fabulous Cats)
10. Yang Pernah (Estranged/Estranged/Estranged)
11. Lagu Untukmu (Taja, Tass & Lan/Taja & Tass/Meet Uncle Hussain)
12. Mabuk (Tam/Loloq/Spider)

NOTE : Lagu Sofaz Bukan Di Sini akan menggantikan Ku Merindu (Datuk Syed Elias Syed Ahmad/Datuk Syed Elias Syed Ahmad/Shah & Ella) tapi aku tak pasti atas sebab apa. Aku risik dan bagitau kang. Flava will replace The Lima for performance.

From Sri Pentas 2, gerak ke Curve. Caught a movie with Bob to pass time. Decided to settle for a more bimbo flick in Wild Child. Supposed to catch something more interesting, but it was the only one in a decent time slot... so...

Not too bad. Typical story of rich Malibu kid with LVs in tow whose mom has passed on and dad has new beau, behaving badly and sent to boarding school in England and eventually has horrendous time adjusting.

I thought it would be straight out bimbo flick, but the drama was bordering on being overplayed out. Still, watchable.

Midway through the movie, felt agitated and SMSed someone - slightly ticked off cause not only said individual busy sampai lupa aku and I felt ignored, reply lak only after this second message after ages later from the first.

Entahlah aku dituduh emo and all. Maybe I am. But who likes feeling neglected. I don't know. I am trying to avoid drama after a prime example in front of me the past few days. Tapi entahlah.... ignore je la. Just I think I shouldn't prolong this stupidity of mine.

Was quiet after the movie. Bumped into some people who I didn't care for much on the way out. Avoided conversation. Met up with bebudak 6ixth Sense, minus Wan as usual and jut kept quiet throughout the night.

Pelita seemed a blur tonight. No mood... me just in deep funk. SMS ngan Faz. She's one of the few I can talk to whenever I'm feeling down and cheers me up.

But after an hour or so, the boys got me laughing..

Pose apa nih, Adi?


Staring into space...


Really tired out. Physically and emotionally. Calling it a night...
