Zoom

So time nak recap balik some of the fun, but hectic activities yang aku sibuk sangat last week sampai collapse bagai.

Well, up to last Thursday memang meeting bersepah bagai. Was so bogged down rushing from one location to another, with a final meeting lewat petang. Sebelum meeting rush ke Bentley kat Damansara with Amir, nak ganti tali gitar dia sebab malam ada show kat Laundry Bar for Moonshine by Reza Salleh.

Masa nak tukar tali, aku irritated sikit sebab akibat 'tak cukup staff' orang kedai kata balik in an hour.

Malasnya nak ulang alik... so actually plan nak beli dan ciao Amir nak wat sendiri. Tapi singgah la sebentar usha instruments memacam.

And one thing caught my eye.

Now, you must know - aku ni technically musically illiterate. Untuk jurusan kejuruteraan bunyi dulu, I had music theory up to Grade 4. Tapi kalau nak main instrument - haram! The only thing I know how to play with is my own organ. Matilah ko!

But who's never dreamed of being a rockstar before right?

And I always liked the guitar because I thought it had a power of its own.

My dream guitar zaman dulu - Fender Stratocaster and Flying V - salah James Hetfield nya pasai la. Tapi nak beli - wat pe kan? Main hado tau...

Until I spotted this!


Isn't she a beauty! It's a Fender Stratacoustic! Sound dia memag delicious, crisp, full bodied and with just enough weight and depth!

Sebab Amir memang akustic persembahan dia - tanpa teragak aku pon sapu la beli. Heh! Janji puas dan dia leh guna. Lagipun, sebagai pengurusan dia aku nak dia punya kelengkapan untuk membuat persembahan.

And later in the night, when he performed half hour showcase dia (terima kasih backing cajon ye Shamiel - anak Erma Fatima yang memag skang kita rekrut jadi sessionist tuk Amir) - memang sound best gila!


Aku ada upload video-video persembahan dia kat Youtube, so pepandai la korang skodeng. Malas lak aku nak tempek satu-satu.

Dah lah balik lewat malam tu, dan letih, dan gak KO sebab telan ubat - esoknya tengahari gegas ke Duchess Place tuk soundcheck bersama Amir untuk persandingan Yasmin Hani.

Persembahan Amir hadiah dari aku buat Hani, and setiba nya aku kat lokasi sanding (petang akad nikah sana gak), aku kagum! I mean biasa kalau artis kahwin nak jadi sarkas siap lengkap memacam badut dan sebagainya... but this was so beautifully simple and yet elegant!






Tema English garden wedding tak la original sangat. Tapi aku suka execution nih. Memang malam tu bila kita balik tuk majlis (lepas redah ujan dan jam yang tak masuk akal), memang the atmosphere was amazing.

Jarang aku ke wedding yang aku rasa so beautiful. And this was one of the rare few.


Tapi lagi satu yang best nya memang majlis dia intimate and cozy, takde la sampai ribu raban orang. I think there was about 300 guests tops jek.


Anyway, Hani, all the best to you and Sha'arin - aku doakan korang bahagia ke anak cucu!

I guess you could say for me, it was a nice way to end the week going into the weekend.

Eh da la.. nanti aku update agik. Lenguh tangan nak taip banyak sangat (padahal kalau update Twitter tak hengat sampai asik kena limit je sebab over quota - matilah)

Will update more ASAP!

Long awaited....

I know I promised you guys these pics ASAP tapi aku sungguh sibuk sampai tak larat nak edit pics ni bagai and upload.

Sebelom aku terbabas pot pet panjang, ni gambar-gambar majlis persandingan Umie Aida yang memang wedding of the year (and one of the best celebrity weddings in a long time). Aku malas nak comment too much, so korang enjoy these pics je la ek.

Apapon Umie, woman... you looked gorgeous that night, dan aku doakan ko bahagia disamping abang tercinta sampai ke anak cucu cicit etc, ok. It's so hard to imagine you finally married, being independent woman and all... but I can see how happy you are, and I pray the happiness will last forever for you.

First... the venue. Awesome. Ballroom kat One World Hotel never looked more gorgeous. Congrats to Jovian Mandagie! Memang kelas usaha ko!

Ni souvenir cokelat. Me like the box a lot. Jovian nya keja kalao Indonesian stuff ni memang meletop. I think it's unique and extremely cute!

The menu... tak makan sangat malam tuh pon. Saja jejalan tengok usha kaco Umie, and then berborak ngan orang orang TV dan filem yang hadir. Best! Macam reunion kengkawan lak... pada meka yang perlu...

Nih Engku Emran jadik VVIP usher escort Tun Dr Mahathir masuk. Erra lak escort Tun Dr Siti Hasmad masuk.

And ni the bride. Maapkan the quality or lack thereof, of the pictures. Biasala amik pakai Blackberry je (tu pon kira da meletop ok!). Malas nak galas bak camera berat sana sini time nak la la la... cantik sungguh baju Umie nih.

Again more on the decor. Memang classy and elegant... something missing in a lot of weddings bila nak feeling lavish. Umie's memang a wow and memang aku rasa ramai akan cuba niru kang.

Performers malam tuh, ada Farhan.. ada Ziana Zain... tuh je kot. Tak perasan lak...

My sis! Susah ni nak dapat time lepak ngan Nasha. Ni pon masa jumpa nak lepak borak, ramai nak amik pics ngan dia je.

Takpe la... kang lepak gak. Anyway, I think Nasha looks prettier by the day. I think people try so hard to look good, with her it's almost effortless!

Dan ni antara kengkawan industri yang hadir. Aku tak sempat snappy semua, but I think most of those I can call friends sempat aku snappy.

Ada yang TAK PENTING aku langsung tak endah pon. Ehem... no komen la kan.. bior jerk!

So here's Misha, Dynas, Nabila, Iqram, Nora, Fahrin and Linda - among the beautiful guests yang hadir malam tuh. Ramai lagik... sapa tak sempat snappy, sorry sangat. Ballroom penuh manusia sangat tak sempat spot semua pon. Apa agik nak sesi ngumpat. I know Sazzy and hubby pon ada, Liyana Jasmay... erm.. ramai la.

Korang mesti ingat aku posekan Fahrin dan Linda kan sampai dedua pose peace. Eh.. takde ok. I'm friends with both and I don't take sides. Apapon, I only hope both of them move on soon... tanak la bebenda tak elok ni.

Anyway.. hah... takyah speku. Ni pon Umie flash a peace sign.

But I LOVE the detailing on her second outfit. Amik ko! Thousands of little rosettes all over the bottom half while the top is crystals and lace and what-nots.

This is what you call haute couture!

By the way kalao korang nak tau, berat bahagian bawah baju tuh pon dan berbelas kilo ok! Aku cuba angkat pon terkejut. Umie mintak try angkat kain bawah tuh.. aiyo! Heavy gila! Tabik kat dia camna dia jalan pose bagai.

Beauty is pain, gituh!

Nih lak some shots of her with hubby dearest. Romantic abih aku tengok couple ni. Best! I like!

Ni pon pasangan romantic. Heh... except in this picture, Shidi lak ngada wat moka pose belakang Vee masa perasan aku nak snappy pics. Heh!

Ni bride's bouquet lak. Aku bak balik! Heh! Umie tak campak ke apa... entah tetiba Nasha bak kebas dari mana ntah. Pastu aku main-main benda tuh, si Nasha bagi aku. Bak je la. Keringkan.. kenangan gituh!

Ni Umie with her sister dearest. Erma nampak happy sangat that night... but I guess a lot of us were to see Umie so happy.

And yes... Umie Aida. Ko da jadi isteri orang. All the best, luv. Lots of hugs... after all these years, who would have thought!

Hah... so tuh la entry aku pasal Umie nya wedding yang overdue. Masuk bab lain.

Ni Diari dari semalam. Layan dulu... then aku komen.

Nih dia pemerhatian aku dari Diari hari Isnin.

*Aku tak paham the endless play on ‘salah pengundi’ tak Afundi so terkeluar akibat thingie. Basi… la la la …
*Already Debaran haus, kenapa masih perlu repeat bits from Debaran again in Diari? Redundant. So can play airmata lagik ke? Does this drama still work? Aiyo!!! Dah lapan tahun takde lagik idea ke.. find something new to play on. Five minutes of tears… boo!
*Alamak… that stupid monkey makes noises now. Yawn!
*FUCK!!!! More crying???? Bodoh la asik perah airmata je keja. Dari gelak, jadik meluat jadik benci aku nak tengok sekor-sekor cenggeng melampau tak kena tempat. It’s not like they fucking died! Shit… Da masuk tiga minggu masih main drama airmata yang takde perisian. Ni ke katakan meka ada character? Bazirkan airmata pada benda yang camni. Stop it already! It’s just coming to the point of being ridiculous! Tunggu la meka keluar tengok how much respect for being weepy all the time. Puke!

And that was it! Itulah satu episod Diari yang nan hado.

Erm... Diari hari Selasa malam tadik lak. First of all.. ni lagu tugasan minggu ni.

Pelajar Lelaki

ALIF – Sesuatu Janji (Taufik Batisah)
SHAHIR – Derita Cinta (Jamal Abdillah)
IWAN – Permaisuriku (Jay Jay)
MAULANA – So Sick (Ne-Yo)
DAUS – Separuh Jiwaku Pergi (Anang)

Pelajar Perempuan
AIN – Cinta Antara Benua (Arni Nazira)
FARINA – Cantik (Nikki)
ANUM – Kau Atau Aku (Main Tarik Tali) (Elyana)
NAD – Bulan Cinta (Eva)
ADIRA – Kini (Feminin)

Korang perasan tak tiap minggu mesti ada lagu KRU? Memang la they have SOME good songs in their catalog. Tuh tak nafikan. Lagu Kini ni pon memang 'evergreen' pop (matilah aku evergreen). Betul la kan... sapa tatau lagu Feminin... iconic gituh.

Cuma seriously they need more variation. Hasilnya semua jadik ala produk KRU sounding. Oh well...

Tapi ni yang kelakar.

Lagu Bonus Debaran
GENERASI HEBAT – (Hafiz, Aril, Akim & Black)

Aiyo!!! Honestly? Tak cukup ke semua edisi program Akademi Fantasia kali ni sumbat botol Brands dalam moka kita, pastu sebut dalam 3,726,211 kali dalam dua minggu pertama sahaja?

Ni lagu pon kena lagu iklan? Damn!

The girls have a better selection though, tapi minggu ni aku rasa Farina either mati ngan lagu Cantik, atau meletop. Dia yang paling kritikal sebab lagu ni may be straight up poppy dance, but it's difficult. Kenapa tak bagi Anum lagu ni (gelak sorang jap)

*What’s with the siren gimmick? Pengetua nak form groups of three katanya. Perlu ke? Aiyo.. so freaking unnecessary. I really don’t see why they bother with these kind of attempts langsung demi nak dapat some sort of plot or storyline. Nampak sangat haus idea. Aduh.. it gets worse and worse. Kira cam America’s Next Top Model or Project Runway meka dok sebilik, bila partner tersingkir more drama ler. Or drama gaduh/cinta. Perah, jangan tak perah!!!
This has nothing to do with reality. They can’t even get themselves in order nak focus on teamwork. Heh… macam-macam.
*”Hey you, don’t move and I’ll KELL you”????? Another product of our wonderful education system.
*Aduh.. Shahir ni… tuk budak nasyid serious horror la sora dia. Berkali aku katakan biasanya dak nasyid mesti vokal power. Ni.. erm…
Ok.. so semalam talking monkey. Today we back to the talking motorcycle. What are we watching la? Akademi Fantasia ke Alice In Freaking Wonderpets Land???
And that was the whole freaking Diari!
Only thing cute was watching kak Fati, Siti Hajar and Que acting up in the end.

The whole Akademi Fantasia series – FAIL!
Three tenaga pengajar having fun – WIN!

V my ass

Happy Valentine's Day to my non-Muslim friends. Sapa yang beragama Islam, don't take heed ok... sebab memang ikutkan V-day is haram....

Anyway... know how depressing it is to be alone on 14 February without your someone special by your side sebab nun jauh? No? I wasn't talking about you right? It's about me. I was of course speaking hypothetically, Da mula merapu....

Moving on... know how to make it even MORE depressing? Senang je. Go for someone's wedding on a day like today where everyone else is flaunting their courtship (or more mating civil mating displays).

Tadik gi Que and Linda's wedding. I didn't go for the nikah, and dropped by at Bora Ombak di Ampang for the sanding je. Since Linda invited, made the effort walaupon ikutkan hati nak lock myself up and in my room and finish Weeds seasons 4.

It was a nice, simple event. And yang pentingnya, friends semua ada. Bapak toyol aka Taiko Jin dan Jembalang aka Ramli MS ada, so apa lagik... gosip la. Tapi takde kena mengena ngan Akademi Fantasia. Carutan bab gosip lain jerk.

Cake cutting time





Ok... aku ngaku. Aku memang malas amik pic lebih. On top of that.. geli ngan budak budak security. Memang sama ngan yang time Mawi kahwin. Menyampah tahap gaban. Tugas nak jaga tapi menggelupur nak mampos!!!!

Asik ada moka Hanj bin Atang dalam gambar je. Lama lama fed up aku. Bebudak press pun ramai tak kuasa. Not the first time. Can people stop taking these losers already? Aku jalan ngan anak raja pun security tak camni overdose.

Pas abih (didn't stay till the very end sebab janji ngan Faz nak gi karaoke) gerak ke Curve. No karaoke rooms available so lepak Fridays je ngan Faz borak.

Aku one thing aku nak lepas geram sikit.

KEPADA SEEKOR SPESIS BIN ATANG YANG PENAH CLOSE NGAN AKU - FUCK OFF AND DIE ALREADY!

Aku geram nak mampos. Time beriya cakap - either we remain friends or nothing at all - I made my choice. Nothing. Told you to get out of my life and take your skanky ass loser friends with you and leave mine alone. My friends are mine.

That includes takyah sibuk nak mesej mesej kengkawan aku kat Facebook ke haper ke like they're yours. So pathetic. Nampak loser nak mampos sampai nak hang on to my life. Get a life already - and like I said... your own. Stop trying to hang on to mine.

SO TAKE HEED MOTHERFUCKER! I MEAN BUSINESS. STOP THINKING MY FRIENDS ARE AT YOUR DISPOSAL.

Meroyan sat. Tul la kengkawan aku cakap pasal ko. Sibuk ko menempek nak gila glamor rupanya nak baik ngan kengkawan aku for who they are and what they do.

SODIHHHHH!!!

By the way Boo - I mean someone else not you. Just in case you reading this... baby sis told me you sent your condolences to her. That's so sweet.

Ahhhh... lega nak maki hamun sikit. Jap jap.... sikit lagik. Hold on to your hats... this is the final blow out.

To the asshole I meant - wei pukimak gampang sial anak babi haram burit... tiu ni ama hongkan cibaiiiiii... peh pundek myra kunjilek etc.

One more time - and I don't give a fuck ko anak polis ke haper ke. Don't fuck with me. Jangan sampai rahsia ko tuh satu dunia tau. Adik adik hanjeng!

Oops!

Don't make me go there...


Eh.. letih meroyan. Nak sambung Weeds season 4 sat. Esok ada lepak and then ada event. Kalao sempat nak gi kak Vee nya set sebab shooting kat Port Klang. Until then... toodles kids.


PS - Cold Storage kat Ikano - please fix your sign!
PPS - I need fresh f too...
