Divas

Here's a guide to making visits to beraya kat rumah orang more fun than ever!

1. Do not plan with a bunch of divas to go to three or more open houses in one day, especially if all of you live considerably far apart from each other.

Dah. Tu je. Heh. Simple kan? But then again memang kalao jadik planning, fun nak beraya beramai ramai.

Cuma cam smalam stress nak tunggu sorang-sorang. My agenda for the day was, sometime about 4 or 5pm nak ke rumah Iqram yang area sama ngan rumah Saida. Then once dari sana, ke rumah Saida terus which starts at 8pm. Plan camtuh, after which run ke Astro Awani tuk open house yang di jemput sultanmuzaffar.

Struck out were open houses ke rumah abang Awie and also bebudak 6ixth Sense sebab clash time ngan Saida nya, and since da plan go to hers da, tak jadik ler nak split two other places dari Cheras with one in Klang and another in Bangi. Matilah aku nak jadik Hiro Nakamura without the abilities kan?

So at 4pm da calling sana sini ngan member member.

And this is what happened.

Diva A - sketchy details pasal when and where nak jumpa. Memula kata nanti call. By 6pm masih tak call atas kata kata 'ada plan'. Merasalah sibuk layan 'sepupu' yang dok rumah semalam. Lain je. At 8pm dia baru nak sampai second stop pas kata nak gi sendiri.

Diva B - Beriya nak beraya. Tapi penuh confident patut communicate Diva A tuk where and when, tapi alkisahnya dengan penuh ngok nya, asik telefon nombor yang salah insisting nombor betul. By the way, Diva A lak sibuk tunggu call Diva B, tanpa terpikir nak call dak tu lak.
Kaedahnya - Diva B senyap je la sunyi tanpa berita. Kol 11pm baru kata tried to go sendiri and sesat. Matilah... tu la akibatnya berangan tau jalan.

Diva C - MIA! Nanti aku call jadik sampai kiamat tak call walaupun beriya. A no would have been nice so others takyah tunggu.

Diva D - Konon nak ikut semua open house, tapi awal awal da kuar rumah gi beronggeng entah mana. Akhirnya muncul dengan groupies ke rumah terbuka kedua and stayed for less than half an hour. Matilah...

Aku pening semalam nak tunggu everyone and waste my credit calling back and forth nak confirmkan jumpa mana kol brapa. In the end, matilah semua! Aku gi redah hutan belantara (matilah hutan belantara katanya...) and found Saida's place on my own.

But mood dan hangin da tak elok. Stayed pun less than an hour je.

But thanks to the hospitable hosts Saida and abang tersayangnya Aman for the hospitality. Memang grand la open house korang. jangan serik nak undang lagik tau, walaopon aku ni da la sampai kol 9pm and balik less than an hour later. Makan pun sempat karipap dua dan kuih raya seketol serta air dua gelak. Heh.. actually aku pegi open house memang makan sikit. Pastu da abih mesti lapar gila.

The hostess with the mostest - caya la Saida! very the hospitable! And sweet in blue ok!


Tuh dia! Mini stage area katanya


Nadia rock abih nampak.. tergugat aku!


Adik beradik konsep cantik rock


The hosts ngan some members of the Akademi Fantasia family yang hadir


Pening cause it started raining. And got lost again leaving the place. So tak jadik last stop. Went for a drink at Pelita with Sarol and borak je. Thanks for being a friend mate, walaopon aku ni memang impossible to deal with kekadang.

Tapi rimas lak ke Pelita malam ni. Seriously ramai sangat orang da ke sana da cam tak best kekadang. Ni rasa cam nak tukar port tak lama lagi.

Dah lah smalam, dengan the coming Deepavali, jam jalan nak gi sebab packed gila Brickfields sampai spillover ke Bangsar. And then there were more people than the usual Saturday night drinking that area.

Masa lalu Jalan Telawi 2 lak outside the clubs, ada berpuluh mamat India berkumpul. Rupanya mabuk dan gaduh! Sampai berdarah katanya. Ceh.. and it was only 1am. Talk about not being able to hold your drinks.

Anyway, thanks Bonda Rock yang tegur ketika coversation konsep women talk dekat Pelita tuh. Sorry ler tak cam sangat. Selain pics, penah jumpa skali je kan? Heh.. thanls for saying hi... kan senang dari nak tinggalkan mesej I saw you last summer ke haper. Matilah again and again.

Arghh! Nak tido. Esok nak redah open house sendiri. One out of five is not good. Today one of one senang sikit kot ratio nak penuhi.

The first of three

No thoughts about sleeping in today. Bangun awal for a few reasons. Pagi buta da caught the airing of the finale Project Runway. Yeay for Leanne! I definitely liked her collection best though I was rooting for Korto too.

Kenley? So not important. She's been a c*nt right down till the bitter end. And she went out with a whimper for her garish pre-school hobby hour technicolour fantasies.

Eew!

Hah.. tapi pastuh, ciao ke Damansara pick up Stan yang baru sampai. Well, like two hours actually tapi sebab aku memang nak clear some stuff and all, that was when I finally picked him up.

We headed to town to do a little shopping. And before you know it da 3.30pm. So scooted off ke Damansara, area Sungai Penchala ke restoran milik Habsah Habsan, Puteri.

It started raining.. nay... storming! Akibatnya dok la setengah jam sebelom Hizreen, member dari New Straits Times sampai, and a few minutes later Faz skali ngan Jojo and Eja.

Then one by one started coming, rain or not. The event? Majlis kesyukuran and Raya get-together for Faz and the media.

It started a bit late for the rain and all, but it was a very healthy turnout despite it. Semua papers and mags ada, also TV news crew.

Then it was makan time. Penting ma.. da kebulur time tu ok!

Ko ado? Sambil melantak pon sempat suck in pipi ok bagik nampak slim konon. Matilah akuuuu


Holding court ke? Faz and some media friends


Moka drama sangat...


Faz and mom - jarang kan dapat tengok auntie Fadhillah (tol tak aku eja nama mom, Faz?)


Anak sapo la ni... tetiba mencelah. Ke ngaku family gak?


Semua konsep lantak tak henti sambil anyam ketupat. It was about 9pm by the time we realised it was getting pretty late.

I don't know how to express it, tapi letih siot by that time. But had one more open house so hurried over to open house Haziq lak. Aiyo! Ramainya! Pening lak. Kalau ingat last year, buat kecil kecilan je. Syukur rezeki bertambah kot... bagus la.

Makan sikit sebab da rasa lapar balik (macamana tuh???) and as usual spent the rest of the time gossiping and cam-whoring.

Diddy dan pasangan Sehati Berdansa Rosma dan Khai

Tasha and moi - lama tak jumpa


Farhan dan Khai karaoke...


...sambil Rosma usha dari jauh. Awas ye.. jangan ingat senyuman tu takde makna. Matilah!


Ni sapa bodyguard sapa ni? Haziq dan Stanley cam pasangan kembar. Cuma sorang terlebih placenta. Lariiiiiiii...

Pas settle da ngantuk. Tapi temankan Juan and Stan, yang lepak rumah Juan for this week. Memasing letih. Stan KO. Juan erm... cuci peti sejuk (kul 1 pagik nih)

I headed to Pelita to join kak Jue for a quick bite and nak ciao balik. Ado? Last-last lepak pun sampai 5.30 pagik! Matilah!

Eh but seriously, Pelita skang smakin crowded lak. Menci lak camni. Smalam da la tetiba tukau jadik Hard Rock Cafe lak!
Memula geng Harley Davidson singgah. I think ada la sepuluh bijik motor or so. Moka memasing ganas yang makes you think, "well, you deserve that very expensive bike kan, cause obviously you lacking in so many departments". I think only two of them je yang looked like really cool biker dudes.

Teringat lak pakcik seberang laut ni cakap dulu. "Kalau kat luar negara, bikers Harley ni, mampu motor, tak mampu baju. Kat Mesia, majority mampu baju je, motor tak mampu."

Anyway, pas meka sampai I think 10 or 15 minutes later, geng motor besau satu lagik sampai. Ni ada 15 or so bikes. Group ni aku kenal nama. Dari jacket meka, tertera nama Violent Storm.
Aku cari gak ada yang kenal, tapi memang nan ado. Lepas zaman katanya. Sebab kali pertama aku kenal Violent Storm punya group (tak silap bebudak Medan Tuanku), time tu abang angkat aku satu group. Penah naik motor dia yang custom. Makan hati siot!
But tu sah sah zaman Boom Boom Room - which was sometime 1994 or 1995. Matilah berbelas tahun punya cerita. So obviously yang riders skang new generation kot.



By the time kita nak gerak (konon last drink la, last cigarette la), heard someone shouting. Ada sorang mamat moka rempit busuk ni berlari. And then followed by a smaller guy with a helmet. After 100 meter dash gituh, mamat ngan helmet tu campak the helmet which hit the guy in front.

Mamat depan tu slow down and kena tangkap ngan yang belakang tu. Turns out the guy in the back ni polis, siap garikan dak tuh. Dunno what the case was, but attempted curi keta or breaking in a car behind Pelita rasanya. Merasalah plain clothes berlambak.

Half an hour later or so, a patrol car da sampai. But entah apa berlaku, next thing, ada sebuah motor speed past Pelita. And then another. And then patrol car yang pasang siren. Aiyo.. terlepas ke mamat tadik?
Entahlah... tu la kelebihan Pelita. Ada je drama.

I seen woman bleeding pas kena slash (I think attempted robbery), mamat-mamat mabuk bodoh yang bergaduh sampai sepak terajang keta, kak Jue belasah rempit (ingat tak story tu)...

Very the New York gituh konsep, but versi selamat. Eh merapu... nak tidur... tomorrow I have FIVE open houses in total.
Start with Iqram and then Saida. Pas Maghrib patutnya ke rumah abang Asmawi Bakiri sebab dia invite, tapi clash lak sebab janji nak ke rumah Saida dulu. And then lak at the same time ada lak bebudak 6ixth Sense nya. Aduh.. even sultanmuzaffar wat konsep open house besok, tapi tu the last stop kang.

Ok la.. have to be over and done with the beraya stuff. Ahad one last day then next week da back to normal sikit.

Memang chaotic sebab ramai orang, but in the end, it was fun... and worth every second of fun in the heat.






Once abih, meka berehat backstage while geng Gempak lak meet the fans. Once they were done, semua berkumpul. Kecoh ler akibatnya ngan semua riuh rendah wat lawak, lepak tunggu sebelom gerak for dinner before leaving Melaka.

Melaka - Part 3

Another beautiful day in sunny Melaka! Siang tadik jalan ke Jonker Street. Kerap gak dulu lepak Melaka, but I never took pictures of the sights. Kali ni sempat ler amik gambar some familiar landmarks.

I love Jonker and all its antique shops!






Jonker Street!

Some stupid trailer getting stuck on the narrow roads and blocking traffic


Pas settle, went back to the hotel, freshened up a little and left for the venue sebab bebudak ada meet the fans session. Yes.. more pics!

The crowd slowly building up on a VERY hot afternoon


Autograph and meet the fans session




Once habis, went back to the hotel,lepak bilik Zul, tengok bebudak startt make up for the Gempak Selebriti Astro show belah malam. Ni some pics of the transformation process gituh. Can you name everyone in the photos?
