My girls

Yeay! I'm into the fourth season of Weeds already. Something tells me I am actually going to finish my catch up before work sets in.

Got to get some work sorted out tomorrow as well as some errands. Gawd I hate Mondays!

Tadik accompanied Faz to Zubir's birthday do. Thank you Zubir for the hospitality. Yeay... Maya and Liyana there too. Ainul too. Ok fine... so there were a few more people I know there, but I mention the ones I truly love. Heh...

Owh and bung Ramli pun ada. Bang... thanks again for the career advice. It's one of those moments aku bebetul appreciate. People like you and arwah Loloq and so many people I look up to in this business that spend those few moments to share your experiences with me, gives me strength to continue with my passion.

Thanks again ya bapak toyol.

My weakness now I have to address? How to learn to be a businessman. All my life people take me for granted. I am passionate about this business... and I often do things for free sebab tolong orang sana sini. No more. Helping out is fine... but I need to learn how to say no and learn to make money.

Nama je aku ni Cina, tapi I definitely don't fall into the stereotype. Tak pandai langsung bab bisnes. Alrighty then... from now on... I hope that I will be able to learn to be more corporate, more businesslike and yet still not compromise who I am - nor my passion for everything showbiz.

Mintak mintak la aku mampu...

Anyway, a few people asked me who I meant in my last entry. Malas la nak cita panjang. All I can say is, dunia hiburan nih attracts a lot of weirdos who think just cause they love a movie, or a song, that they deserve a way in to be part of this business, and be friends with practitioners. Some would mention gila glamer... what can I say. Da memang ada yang beriya sangat kawan ngan orang dalam industri ni... biar artis ke wartawan ke sapa saja la yang kena mengena ngan industri ni.

My mistake is not seeing them for who they are earlier sebab aku suka sangka baik orang. When they end up shitheads, it's a little too late. Da aku pun tak hingin orang tuh dalam hidup aku, masih lagik nak sibuk nak contact my friends konon leh make another trip into this life.

Whatever la... pathetic, I suppose some people would do almost anything just cause nak feel glam kot. That's something I'm unfamiliar with. Aku dari zaman aku belajar ke apa... I don't really get starstruck. I admire people for their gifts and talents, but takde la nak tergedik nak wat baik in hopes of being friends. Sheesh... that is just sad.

Oh well... I guess it takes all kinds to make up the world.

I have no time to be bitter. These type of leeches who pass for people are not worth my time. Baik aku focus my energy on what is necessary and leave karma to deal with all this bullshit.

Eh... da la. Nak share pics of my favourite girls. Faz, Maya and Liyana. Love you ladies!

Rasanya bung Ramli marah tak kalao off key nyanyi Happy Birthday


The Pisau Cukur duo - Faz and Maya getting getting CW

Don't worry.. won't tell them about Australia.. oops!


Sistahs!


Liyana and Ainul - BFF

Ok... now back to Weeds. Am tired out.. especially after stuffing up kat Rasta. Till 'morrow guys...


PS. Sila sedekahkan Al Fatihah for the late Tarudin Ismail, who passed on due to complications after a by-pass this morning. But Siti, Saida, Saerah... and members of the family, my condolences to all of you. May God bless the dearly departed... and all of you for strength to get through these difficult moments. Guys.. please say a prayer ok.

The blueblood of Sakais

Semalam gi GSC MidValley Megamall nak layan Duyung at the gala premiere of the film which opens March 6, kalau tak silap aku. Tuh dia si Norman, head honcho of KRU films berdebar debar menunggu reaksi orang towards the film. I've seen the trailers and it looks interesting, but the actual hasil entah camna.

It was packed because apparently the screening termasuk some 1,000 peminat yang menang tiket nak layan the premiere skali. Wow. Chaotic siot!

Tapi yang pentingnya, invitation kol 8 malam. Screening of the actual movie is 9.30pm. What the... dah ler ramai ramai rush nak be there by 7pm sebab takot sangkut the Friday jam... akibatnya dok berejam tunggu.

Sambil sambil tuh, layan ler amik pics of the... erm... festivities. Meka try to change the entrance of GSC into this underwater themed area, which was... erm... decent.

Ushers pakai beach wear and wet suits with flippers and goggles and all. Tapi the amusing part was erm... the merman yang diangkat masuk. Merasalah duyung jantan tuh. Then later joined by duyung female lak.





Ramai yang mrembes ler tengok dua ekor duyung nih. Erm... aku rasa cam dua orang model yang separa dikapankan oleh kain glitter jer sambil diikat dua bantal kat kaki jerk. Heh. Besides that is one fish that looks rather masin for me. Matilah kena maki ngan Ayu pasnih! Ampun, gurl!

Moved into the holding area to hang out with friends to chit chat and catch up. So took a few more shots.

"Ingat aku tak nampak ko nak snap pic aku?? Ko nak apa hah???" Yasmin Hani pose ayu... heh!


Maya Karin a little more prepared nak kena papparazi ngan aku.



After we were allowed to go into the hall to endure several speeches and such, the movie pun started. So how was it? Erm...it was.. "SOKONG FILEM BUATAN TEMPATAN!"

What? Oh... how was the movie. well... put it this way lah ek. If you love Razak Mohaideen's films selama nih, this is the best with the amount of budget that they put in. What did I think of it? Kalao betul betul - erm... I won't say anything nasty about the film lah. No, I won't mention skrip terlalu simple, gaping holes in the plotline, the boring direction, the kayu lakonan or even the bad costumes.

I will say that... erm... the soundtrack was nice.

Cuma sedih sikit sebab Maya didn't have enough depth in her character for her to act out the mystical mermaid. She appeared as a dizzy fish jerk yang speaking ala Indonesian with a little Sabahan accent thrown in.

Apek's character was just himself, Hani was a little amateurish (I blame the director for this) and Awie was just irritating. Sayang because these are good actors and actresses. Tapi tu la... bab filem nih, kekadang lakonan seseorang bergantung a lot to the director. Kalao hampeh... hampeh la teruih.

All in all - it was like an expensive (and yet looking cheap) version of a pementasan drama which was Little Mermaid-esque with the theme yang layak tuk Hari Penyampaian Hadiah Sekolah Menengah Kampung Pelir Hitam (tuh diah!!!... sempena nak mai Akademi Fantasia...da kuar nama vogue tuh!)

But all in all - still, I think my expectations were too high kot. Secara am nya aku rasa filem ni ramai akan suka - though again like I said, kalao ko tak minat hasil Razak Mohaideen selama nih, don't bother la kan.

If you have RM10 or so (depending kalao murah lagik tiket korang beli tuk show tu that amount la) to spare... erm... check out the film. But check out other review tuk get a better picture of how the film is. Aku rasa mabuk laut lak pas tengok filem nih.

Something familiar about this picture... the way they pose... Maya Karin nampak cam Hayden @ Claire in Heroes lak.


Tuh dia... the cast of Heroes gituh punya pose


Abihnya, we kumpul in the lobby area. Masa tuh nak set plan nak lepak... Samuel was at the screening too so dok tanya dia dan Rizki apa plan of party gituh. Borak ngan Faz on the phone, and then set jumpa. Juan ikot skali satu keta ngan aku dan Boo. Pas lepak... ramai ramai ke supper.

Merasalah berangan kan... valueables dalam keta ko include a Gucci, and ipod and two Nokias tak? Very the brand sensitive perompak ok!


This is how you do your eyes ladies, for a night out... Faz looking sweet as she is. Samuel lak ala candid. Heh.. no posed shots for those of you yang nak tengok sweet pics.

To Sammy, have a safe trip back to Jakarta. Rizki, thanks for joining us and making it fun. Nanti balik KL lepak agik ek. Seronok kengkawan yang leh masuk satu pala.

Aduh... slept the whole day puas puas siot. Tido sebelom 7 pagik (niat nak update tapi tertido lak, leh?) and woke up 4pm! Amik ko!

Damn... tak sempat ke Pencarian Hero Remaja walau da plan sebab dijemput. Tapi jap lagik nak ke Pelita lepak ngan Juan dan bebudak Hero Remaja. Takper la... hina hina mamak pon... kita semua seronok. Bokan nak lepak tempat orang kerabat yang molot kurang ajar dan berangan (menci tol some members of a certain Royal famly yang tunjuk perangai cam sakai - da kertu nak mampos layak dok rumah jaga cucu jer tapi feeling melalak nak attention pakai cam hooker with make up to match).

But that's another story of an incident yang jadik smalam - that won't make it here. Yes, let's reside in a beautiful world where people like that don't exist by ignoring them.

Yawn... nak mandi sat and make my way. Have a fun weekend all, and be safe ok...
