Freaky Friday

Ari ni walaopon end of the week and everyone's going TGIF, aku rajinkan diri rush about. Dari Damansara, sampai ke Astro ada keja nak siapkan.

Was a fun night though... amik ko lama da tak post pics Datuk Siti Nurhaliza. Malam tadik recording Raya special kat Astro skali ngan Akim ngan Shahir as guest artistes.

Ampunkan kualiti pics ye, sebab pakai Blackberry je dari jauh. Malaih nak dok dekat-dekat. Heh... sibuk mengumpat backstage lagik seronok.

Siti salin baju tiga kali - I love this particular one, her first outfit yang itam nih. Merasalah make-up Nurul Shukor yang meletup! Ke hasil pakai SimplySiti. Matilah aku!

Tak suka second outfit nih. Serious, I think looks too much like baju ala ala saree balu India yang dipakai masa anugerah dulu. Matilah Rizman Ruzaini carot aku (ampun nok, aku tak kata baju ko hanya leh dijual di kasino kat Pulau Sentosa jek - matilah Hatta dan Zery lak maki aku pasnih.. ampun!!!)

Tapi pas baju nih, salin one more yang aku suka.

I think green looks fab on her. Cutting biasa je, but I think Siti looks hawt in this.

And of course, dare I forget the guest artistes? Amik ko, mood Raya da. Woi! Akim! Utang posa da bayar kah? Matilah!!! Memang set-up nak kena carot nih.

Heh... dah dah... tu je pics nak share.

Apapon it was nice fraternizing with everyone. I haven't been out too much, so now kena start balik aktif seperti dahulukala. Macam la berkurun tak turun padang tuk event.

Pe pon... have a good weekend, guys. And stay safe.

Pay day!

Today was a good day!

Pay day! It's been a year plus since dapat regular pay cheque susah nak percaya. Back to makan gaji! Sort of... since I still have my own outfit to run. So, this is like the basics, and the rest I earn is more of loose change (and for the folks, as well as savings and a little extra shopping)

But apart from that, hari ni berbuka kat event Astro.

Majlis untuk unveil the programming by Astro channels for the Raya period. Banyak wo! Some kelakar tak kena.. but some really good.

Ni some pics of the event. Sapa nak lepas rindu kat Mawi dan Datuk Siti Nurhaliza sebab da lama aku tak update about them, here they are, along with some other pics I snapped.

The best part was bumping into kak Nita and hubby abang Mahathir sebab da lama tak jumpa meka. They make me feel so good because they always talk about my column. Bangga la ada diva cam dia ni, puji hasil kerja. Anyway, had a good chin wag with them, and the rest was more to santai.

Memula nak disaster sikit sebab the outdoor event tu kena pindah indoors sebab hujan. Ada orang lupa ke nak upah khidmat bomoh hujan? But all in all - despite the cramped conditions and all - it was fun still.

Farid looks better clean shaven


Hah... tuh dia... kak Nita dan abang Mahathir pon dok bersila ok!


Datuk Siti - sweet as always

Sedondon... haru biru! Eh... serba biru!


Marsha pon ada


Ada la spoil mood sikit bila serempak binatang sekoq ni yang keja kuli kat Astro ni. Dia ni dari penah keja sekali ngan dia da memang rasa nak bagi makan tapak kaki da.

Berangan je lebih keja tak penah vast. Anyway, to cut a long story short... hari tu, lepas shooting AF Raya di Melaka, ada gosip keluar kat Harian Metro.

Walaopon aku takde kena mengena, biasalah... aku la jadik prime suspect. Sabar je lah...

Aku tak kisah la sebab aku selama ni kunci mulut kalao aku dok kat dalam ketika Akademi Fantasia, so sebab takde rasa feeling of guilt, ada aku kisah? Kan! So aku pon tak kisah kalao orang nak tuduh ke fitnah.

Tapi yang aku sakit hati, binatang tuh ni dok perli aku. Aku wat bodoh je lah. Benda camni kang melayan lagik menjadi. Batal niat posa seharian. Eh... erm... anyway, I think some people kan, seriously threatened by me, sampai they just find it easier to bitch than try and improve themselves.

Oh whatever... dalam hidup ni, berkali kali aku jumpa da orang camni. Wat bodoh je... kita keja keras dengan ikhlas, God willing, adalah hasilnya. Besides, as I always say, karma will take its course.

Wat baik ngan orang pun camni.. huh.

Anyways, lepak sampai tengah malam tuh! Da habis event layan kuih muih borak ngan Aishah, Chi dan Metra. Ngumpat.. eh.. berborak je keja. Tak lupa kak Izan pon join. Merasalah dia kena carot je. Heh! Ampun kak Izan!

Eh ok la... nak tidor!

Esok ke lusa aku upload performance Siti dan Faizal Tahir. Besh woo!!!!! Malas nak transfer, convert, edit dan upload skang. Soon... tunggu!!!

A whole lot

Semalam letih sangat dan malas mendatang nak update panjang-panjang, so no updates on Melaka. So ni kira entry clear stock.

Thursday was my last day there walaopon sebenarnya Friday ada scene lagi nak shoot. Tapi sebab ada urgent meeting kena rush balik. So didn't do much. I think about three scenes in total saja.

Akim dan Aril shooting last day semalam, and they'll be leaving for Jakarta on Sunday morning. Flight 6 pagik tak silap aku, Akim bagitau.

The rest are staying until tomorrow to finish up the Raya show.

Ni pics from Thursday. As usual, please don't crop or edit my watermark kalao nak republish gambar-gambar ni to any other blog, website or forum and please have the courtesy to credit and link my blog. It's only polite.

The three stooges - apa la dak tiga orang ni memain....

Later that evening, took a break pas finish the daylight scenes. Sempat semua berehat. Panas, peluh tak hengat memasing because of the weather.

Now most of the kids memang da demam and selsema ketika kat Sarawak, and kat Melaka, ramai lagik masih recovering atau baru nak get hit.

Sampai aku melarikan diri takot nak dekat any of them. Mana taknya... production crew dok dekat poli kat Merimau tuh - hari kedua ke ketiga, diminta pindah sebab tempat tuh ditutup because ada kes H1N1 sana! Aiyo! Plus next day papers keluar ada kes dak ninggal sebab selsema anu tuh in Melaka.

Lewat petang Akim cam nak collapse sebab keadaan dia dari ok ok saja, jadik kritikal. Tengok rupa dia memang lemah abih dan cam nak pengsan. So rushed him to the clinic. Seb baik takde la H1N95 8GB kie haper ke. Demam, selsema biasa-biasa saja.

Si Hafiz pun not feeling well - sampai rambut tetiba lebih dari biasa. Check out the medication. Yang penting maintain ceria je.



Scene malam kat Kampung Kilang Berapi punya pesta Aidilfitri



Ni apa nih? Baca bawah sikit...


Gelak gelak.. show must go on!

A few things happened masa kat Melaka. Kami shooting kat Merlimau - so geographically sapa yang familiar tau la pasal apa aku nak cita nih.

Kisahnya malam pertama aku balik ke bandar sebab dok hotel sana pakai jalan lama ala rally tuh, belok sana sini.

Second night - pakai jalan baru tuh yang lagik cepat. Now, si Dian da warning aku kalao nampak kedai makan along there, jangan berhenti lak sebab kang tengok siang takde lak. Paham?

So pandai-pandai aku, pakai lah jalan tu tuk balik ke bandar kol 3 pagik. Korang tau kan aku leh pick up benda benda camtuh. Pendek kata, memang ada 'perkampungan' dan sempat la nampak kelibat ada yang 'menumpang'. Siot je. Kenapalah aku selalu kena.

What does this have to do with the picture above yang aku janji nak cita?

Well, masa shot pesta Aidilfitri belah malam (it was about 10pm when we started), ada scene bebudak Hafiz, Akim dan Aril lompat dari stage.

Atas pentas ada Yazid, Obri dan Sidi.

Well, one of the first few takes, time tengah recording clip for lagu Yazid, tiba-tiba aku perasan, tepi pentas tuh, terbakar! On fire as in like getting bigger by the second, with the dried leaves burning!

Erm... aku pandang Reza, dan Reza pandang aku. Memasing punya radar da gila gila punya berbunyi.

Paham? Tak paham takpe.

Anyway, they put out the fire, and checked the tape, and found masa bebudak lompat, one of the pelita kat tepi tuh jatuh, and terkena the side of the stage, starting the fire.

Yang kelakarnya, masa time berlakon tuh, si Sidi yang dok belakang main drum tuh, nampak api. What did he do?

Dengan muzik yang kuat tengah on, dia leh dengan suara tak beremosi mengatakan dengan perlahan.

"Stage terbakar..... stage terbakar....." in a matter-of-fact tone. Siot je. Obri dok bantai gelak dia pastuh.

So it was an accident.

Or was it?

Apapon, it was a fun time in Melaka, and walaopon I couldn't give my all, sebab commitment aku clash schedule shooting yang memang topsy turvy (sebab jadual bebudak semua haywire thanks to their management), it was a memory to be cherished. Mana taknya... biasanya rakaman program Raya tuk AF ni menandakan 'tutup buku' bagi musim AF yang berkenaan. Pastu semua bak haluan memasing dan nak berkumpul semua camni memang da susah.

Reached back KL safe and sound - after an hour's drive, speed abih sebab tak sabar nak balik tidur katil sendiri.

Siang smalam dok catch up on sleep, and malam ke Anak Wayang. Nanti-nanti je la aku update a few pics. Letih banget nih nak update memacam.

Sapa line teruk, azab korang nak loading pics jangan salahkan aku ek.

Time to catch some Zs. Night...
