In all forms

Went to Laundry to check out Najwa's acoustic set. Kalau korang tak penah tengok dia live, or stakat tengok dia masa konsert mingguan Akademi Fantasia ke Shout! Award, trust me, you haven't seen her perform.

First time aku tengok dia perform bebetul her own set masa Malam Nada Biru ngan Yuna. I was so blown away and became and instant fan.

There is so much soul is Najwa - it's not just about her sexy, silky vocals.

There is so much expression in her voice alone that it's mind-blowing!

Dia tweet je kat Laundry wat rehearsal - aku pas abih keja ngan member, jumpa Atilia kat Laundry and chilled out there just to watch her set. Tak banyak lagu - dalam setengah jam je, so sedih la sikit.

But it was a good night, and every time I see her perform live, I am so invigorated. Bersemangat nak berkreatif tengok bakat camni.

Jap... tukau channel sat. Apakah ini?

Kaset? Nope. This is Najwa's Blackberry. Heh... turn it around and this is what you'll see.

Tada!!!! I like this - nak cari. Siapa nampak mana jual kat sini bagitau ek. I like these novelty covers for the Bold 2. Tapi tanak yang cokelat tuh. That's just cheap and tacky.

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...

Blue Tone?

Have you ever seen an ATM machine that swears?

Ok... so it's not entirely true and I made that up. Suka ati aku lah! Tanak gelak bukan salah aku.

Anyway smalam gi Malam Nada Biru with Najwa and Yuna.

What can I say... memang besh gila!!!! So many know Najwa from lagu dia featured on ngan Malique and Yuna from Dan Sebenarnya... but seriously, dua orang artis baru ni ARE THE FUTURE, people!

They are the future of the local music industry for their talent, for their originality and for their sheer passion for the music.

Sambil ada artis sendu dan nan hado yang harapkan kuota dan wajib siar tuk jual lagu, atau kalangan yang feeling artis nak harapkan jual lagu walaopon hazab - there are those like Najwa and Yuna who make me believe that masa depan muzik Malaysia masih ada.

I'm not going to review - but Najwa was mind-blowing! I mean it. Not syok sendiri at all like I expected from someone as soulful as her. In fact it was appealing, so much so ada kengkawan yang tak reti feel bluesy jazz and all pon terpegun by the time Najwa was done.

Also heard a lot of her songs in the 45 minute set - and it was all fantastic.

Then there was Yuna. Dan Sebenarnya is seriously overrated. Bukan sebab aku tak suka lagu tuh - but because if you listen to stuff from her album, it doesn't even come close to what this girl is about.

It was all in all a five star performance from both of them.

Najwa comel jerk

Yuna - rileks jer as always

The woman behind the show - my girl, Atilia

Congratulations to Atilia and Mujik Productions and Bsync Productions for the amazing show they put together. Simple presentation - but AMAZING in talent.

Sapa tak sempat gi Malam Nada Biru bersama Najwa dan Yuna, tomorrow night is another show. And possibly one of the last you get to see Najwa really rock it out on a full set like this.

Yuna dengar akan gi America for two months pas kena risik kat sana, and Najwa akan habiskan sikit agik study dia sebelom release her single (tak sabar cause her song is like WOW!) - though she will be opening for Babyface next week.

Tomorrow's show is at 9pm at tickets are priced at RM100 and RM85. Trust me - they are SO worth it!

Just go and get your tickets from The Actors Studio at Lot 10. Just take the lift and go level 8 on the rooftop. For more info, you can call 03-2142 2009 or 2143 2009.

Pas abih, zoomed to Pelita lepak one session for about an hour plus.

Suasana indah di Kuala Lumpur waktu malam - matilah ni yang aku nak snap!

Finished kat Pelita, rush balik Klang jumpa bebudak yang dulu satu sekolah rendah ngan aku lepak ngan meka. Berejam... kang je post entry panjang lebar bila leh.

To all my Chinese friends out there - happy celebrating the 15th and final day of the Chinese New Year festivities. It's Chap Goh Meh!!! Last day to gamble (aku tak judi pon dua minggu ni raya nih)

Have a good Sunday, guys!
