Shout!

Damn! I slept at only 6am this morning, and bangun kol 5 petang! Amik ko! Sebelas jam hibernasi!

Semalam gi Shout!. Erm... it was ok. Too loud - and no, I'm not too old. I've been to all the MTV Awards (except the last one) and survived concerts like Avril and Slipknot, and even Westlife, so I doubt I'm past screaming crowds or audio systems pumping inhuman levels of sound.

But ada je yag tak kena. It was good, and also bad. How do you describe it... Just definitely not worth having to go through the jam with the Manchester United training going on next door.




It's like a great performance for Jac, baru nak emo in rememberance of Michael, and then you had Reefa bounce out disrupting the whole feel of things. Like... WTF???!!!

It was like everyone buying into the hype of Bunkface (respect to them - idop budak Klang... orang kampung aku tuh!) but turning zombified masa Estranged put on one of the best performances of the night.

Basically - a potentially good event, but riddled with many WTF moments.

Pesawat were the real hit of the night, but kenapa la ada orang lonjat lonjat jerit jerit sebelom tuh. Tak perlu sangat!

Tak bother sangat. In fact, caught the show, while spending a lot of time with Gaya, Afdlin and Mamat Khalid and their wives apart from other friends who were left blurred out by a lot of what went on that night.

In fact had more fun when Upin and Ipin menang award... boleh? One of the highlights for sure?



Sean Kingston? Overrated, oversweaty, overmiming and just plain overweight. Period. Nyanyi pon tak setakat YEAHHH YEAHHH and uhmmm... and one or two more lines on top of the CD. Bosan nak mampos! So much for the closing act.

Sapa agik yang ok ek. The performers worthy of a mention were Bunkface, Nikki (though Shila was a WTF moment), One Buck Short, Joe Flizzow.. and a few more. Caprice and a few others would do good to learn how not to just randomly shout into a mic. Oh well...

The crowd? Let's not even go there.

Layan je la pics. By the way, if you guys dulu ada baca pasal these Chanel gun heels I so loved (and convinced Faz to get them, here she is wearing them to the first public event in Malaysia they've been seen in. Don't know if she's the first person in the country to have these shoes, but berani cakap she is the first to have them in all three colours, epecially these black and whites.

Heel-ing power


Ngan adik dia Jojo.

Aku bangga kata dia the first int he country to wear these black and white Lagerfeld creations. READ HERE n my posting in January masa aku naik gila pasal kasut nih. And here's Madonna wearing her end of last year.



By the way, the ones Faz are wearing are the limited edition ones, unlike the more common black and silver versions.

Ok, now on to the rest of the pics.

The Chong family - no Vince but with younger bro


Datuk Sheila Majid


Yellow fever! Nikki after performance


Hot chicks Faz and Marsha


The Pesawat boys were so in demand last night - motif AirAsia punya topi? Part time job ke sebenarnya? Matilah!



Cheryl looking sweet


Shidi bak beg tuh sesuatuh sangat!


Sebenarnya pegang beg bini tuh


Joe's got Flava


The Estranged family


And the last picture I have is this. When you take a look at it, just tell me, what the hell is wrong with this picture??!!!



Yes, that's Jehan. In a hat that defies all logic or reason for being worn. Doubt his bad hair day could have been that bad sampai pakai camtuh.

Oh well... ok la... nak sambung hibernasi. Flu getting better now...


PS - Thanks Muckcheek @ Yasmin for the serunding. Sweetest birthday present I've had in a longtime. Tak penah orang Poslaju aku serunding within a day before. And the card from you and the rest of the family was such a beautiful thought too. Hugs to all of you for it!



PPS - Dapat berita dari Syuib on the World Championship of Performing Arts in Los Angeles. Malaysians masih teruskan saingan dalam final. Dilla, Wilson and Iza made it to the finals of all the modelling categories, while Artistana Group made it to the finals of the dance category.

In vocals, Bob, Sarah Raisuddin, Hasmidar made it into one solo, and two duet categories for the finals. More info as news comes in. Malaysia boleh! KEPITA boleh! Heh!

Of Christmas and Dewa

Damn! And damn again! I must have gone to almost all the malls in town, and still can't find nice presents.

Tahun ni da up budget sikit nak belikan hadiah, and this year's theme is 'techie toys'. You know, technologically enhanced gizmos or just quaint items of the sort in that vein.

Started with my sister's present (takleh cakap apa cause she drops by my blog and don't want her to know), as well as a 32" LCD for my parents.

Left with a few more people on my list - and I'm at a loss.

So far, been to Klang Parade, USJ Summit, Pavilion, Berjaya Times Square, KLCC, Sungei Wang and Lot 10 to scour for those elusive gifts, tapi pening takde yang berkenan nak beli.

Today, am starting bright and early from The Curve, 1 Utama and hopefully from there on to Mid Valley.

Pening...

Anyway, got a few decent hours' sleep semalam, cause didn't stay out too late after the Dewa 19 concert.

Wasn't all that great. Harapkan stage ok la (bulat - so 360 darjah pusing keliling punya... teringat konsert Take That). Tapi sound system macam sial! Sound engineer lak bangang cam pekak sebab mix macam haram.

And Dewa cam bosan sikit - walaopon banyak lagu sedap and they performed ok, tapi it was straightforward stuff - very much like what you get off their CD. Thought they would at least make a live effort out of it.

Sheila Majid was honestly... a waste of time. Dhani's self-indulgent move to include her was just.. boring for those who thought they were paying for a rock concert. She couldn't hit a lot of notes, and kept shoving the microphone to the audience. In other words, Sheila did a Whitney Houston there.

Emosi was just boring, though nice. Again like I said, wrong occasion. Sinaran was souped up with Once joining tapi again Sheila banyak tak kena.

Cinta Kau Dan Dia pun cam tu, where she dueted with Dhani.

Rabbani lak aku kesian because they did good - with Mentari Merah Di Ufuk Timur, Intifada as well as one more together ngan Dewa on Laskar Cinta, tapi crowd tak appreciate santgat walaopon meka lebih kena tema malam tuh dari Sheila.

Still, it was a decent concert because there were a lot of good songs to sing-a-long too.
That and the fact that while everyone walked for miles, aku dapat parking right in front of the entrance... literally!

Sebab masa aku sampai, aku cari tempat, pusing kali kedua tu, I spotted meka tak tutup access road going into the stadium grounds.

Aku tak perasan for authorised vehicles jer, tetiba ada orang jaga tu stop my car.

Baru aku realise.

Tapi sebelom aku sempat cakap apa apa, dia took one look at the VIP stickers, and the various event punya benda yang tampal-ed all over my windscreen as well as my various media and press stickers, and he waved me on. Sebab aku da terbodoh bukak tingkap... aku terdiam kejap.

"Erm... ada parking lagik ke?"
"Ada bang, masuk terus ke sana."

Matilah parking depan sekali. Yeah!!!

Had fun - and with enough sleep, today pun going to be fun. SHOPPING!

Fave song of the night - tetap Pupus. Matila bukan terbayang Mawi nyanyi ek. Once punya version sebab the original tetap special... walaopon terbayang versi Mohede.

Sorry malas review Dewa 19's concert. tapi here are some better pics than usual (sebab aku upfront in the pit) from my mobile phone (considering the quality of what the stuff I am able to take on my limited capacity - Nokia tanak sponsor ke?).

Not the best - but I suppose they'll do. Happy Christmas shopping semua... and to everyone else yang takyah pening carik hadiah, selamat bercuti!


PS - Yeah yeah...My Boo balik ari ni dari kampung. Alamak...ilang status single aku da! Merasalah!

In the pit with moi - Ella...Ella...Ella... (sibuk je mamat belakang tumpang posing)



Stadium Negara.


Once!


The mad genius Ahmad Dhani on keyboards.

Goreng!!!!!


Sayang gitar tak dengar sangat sebab sound system dan house mix cam %&*

Finale - lepas abih show, tambourine ngan logo meka di campak ke audience. Untung!

Kangkang dik...jangan tak kangkang.


One more time...


Pasangan bahagia. Dhani+Mulan= -Maia (matilah aku!!!)

Legenda

Hari ni memang sibuk gila babas. Rasa nak pengsan je. Already i didn't really have enough sleep (no thanks to my insomnia), kena bangun awal lak.

Lepas tuh back to bak lak ada meeting pelbagai.
Apapun, tengah nak rush for the fourth appointment ni, sempat update blog sat. Siang tadi lari-lari sana sini nothing much lor to blog.

But coming back to the office this evening, ada appointment yang agak fun gak ler. Sheila Majid drop by the office sat tuk minum petang ngan teman-teman wartawan kat sini.

Aku sampai lewat sikit, tapi tak really miss apa-apa cause everyone was more focused on getting their interviews. The moment they were done, I got time away from the pack with kak Sheila sat.

Banyak gak cita nak catch up cause I remember the last time I spent any time talking to her was mada ada show Dayang Nurfaizah kat Planet Hollywood. Masa tu dia hadir sebagai tamu, and I was seated at the next table ngan Leo who had come down from Jakarta. That was about two years ago.

So had a nice chat...sampai lupa lak nak snap pics. Ni pun masa nak balik after I took her, Siti (PA dia kot) along with Sarah and Ayu from EMI jejalan kat the editorial floor tuk kenalkan ngan bebudak office baru teringat amik gambar.

Anyway...boleh ler kan...

Mmmm...guess pas ni nak review album Legenda dia lah...so korang kena look out for that lor.
Apapun, jangan lupa update siapa pelajar pelajar Akademi Fantasia 4 esok ek...nak ciao for another appointment. Mengantuk......
