It's getting worse. The haze and my health...

Kenal tak siapa duta topeng yang jadi trend skang to protect yourself from the haze? Tak? Read on to find out...jangan terkejut.

Anyway...yesterday was so horrible sebab my health semakin teruk. Demam...selsema...you name it, I have it. Mata bengkak abih sambil berair tak sudah sambil running nose. And lots more...

So anyway finished my work - tension sikit sebab had to give the Anugerah ERA punya PC a miss sebab banyak sangat keja tertangguh plus keja last minute diassignkan. Upset sikit sebab family Akademi Fantasia ada menghadiri termasuk Mawi, Amylea, Felix dan Aidil.

Anyways, met Juan Danza later and gi Astro sekali. Tunggu gak Sultan Muzaffar yang diajak skali tapi dia tak call lak. Anyway sampai Astro terus gi x-fresh.fm sebab nak layan interview kak Julia dan Adi bersama cast of Gol & Gincu.

Masa lalu nak ke studio, passing era.fm punya studio, who should we see (dah tau sebenarnya meka ada kat sana) but Marsha dan Mawi, ditemankan abang Aman yang hadir tuk sesi interview live on air with Farah Fauzana.

Setakat lambai je nak ke studio x-fresh.fm sebab tanak kaco meka on-air.

Sempat ler jumpa meka lepak sat with them after the finished the session with Farah.

Dapat ler extend sok sek with both of them sat.

Tengah melayan sembang, perasan they also got these masks...topeng yang dipakai skang because of the haze.

Lots of companies hand them out...even my work place...and apparently Astro bagik staff meka gak. Anyway...dapat idea...sebab smalam kita da citer pasal bab how Mawi is exploited...apa kata kalau ada lak yang exploit dia...skali ngan Marsha tuk popularkan topeng jenama 'Mawi'. Harus la iklan meka buat tuk promosi jadik camni...

Nak beli ke? Topeng jerebu cap 'Mawi' dan 'Marsha'! (Pada mereka yang tak paham - ini cuma lawak ek!)



Tergelak jugak kami semua bila tengok balik pics ni. Tima kasih ler pada Mawi dan Marsha layan gila sat wat lawak ni. Siap pose maut agik si Marsha.

So anyways tengah hang out ngan meka after meka cleared their interview, ada lak member Farah nak jumpa mintak autograph and amik pics and all with the two.

Sorang tu aku kenal...budak ex UiTM yang kerek berlagak syok sendiri sebab skang keja government department...dia ni angan-angan sikit banyak cita politik dia yang dia penah ngaku disamping admission how he would do anything to get ahead (sedih hidup ko!)

Aku malas nak dekat sebab tergeli sat ngan dia ni. Rupanya dia datang pakai 'kuasa' dia semata-mata nak jumpa Mawi dan Marsha. Nak tergelak pun ada...lantak ler ko (dinch pons pec lobs berangs - ni tuk meka yang paham). Finish tu...abang Aman bak ler meka skali ke studio x-fresh.fm jenguk say hi to everyone there.

Adi tengah acara rancangan



Mawi dan Marsha promo x-fresh.fm sat. Pastu perjumpaan tiga generasi Akademi Fantasia bersama Mawi, Adi, Marsha dan Anding.



Di tengah kecoh semua seronok 'bermesra' beramai tu, sempat ler amik pics takder tema...in other words, those 'point and shoot' pics. First of all - more of Mawi.

Mawi panas ke? Sebelah tu gambar tag Mawi. Dah jadi staff Astro! Bukan pak guard ek tapi label tu tulis ARTIS ok!



Pastu...ni gambar eksklusif dari Marsha for all my blog readers...as I promised more pics of her gak kan...
Marsha tayang mata dia. Beso wo! And then pose manja lak!



So it was a tiring end to a quite hectic day. Doesn't stop there. Ni masih wat keja sambil update blog.

Yang sakit ati...aku nak update radio.blog lak takleh sebab the main page lak down so I can't download the converter. Sori ler pada meka yang nunggu aku upload lagu dari final dan juga pesanan khas yang dirakamkan oleh para finalists tuk readers of this blog.

I promise I will get it up online as soon as the problem with radio.blog is rectified, ok.

Ok le...nak abihkan keja kul lebih 4.30 pagi ni dan amik ubat supaya overdose dan tidur. Esok baru nak cadang nak MC ke ataupun nak keja, jika keadaan kesihatan mengizinkan, which I doubt.

Apapun, malam esok ada Media Appreciation Night Akademi Fantasia...so nak be in my best health ler.

Tu pun kalau aku larat gi...but I think I will.

So expect more pics akan datang.

Apapun, pada mereka yang tak nampak rambut aku potong camne...ni ada pic aku amik masa kat studio x-fresh.fm. Now you know what I mean when I say it's a gothic punk mohawk thingie cut?

Kira tengah je ada rambut. And since rambut aku panjang lepas bahu sebelum dipotong, kira belakang berekor. Kalau gel, leh wat spikes...but don't want to. Again, tengok Seven Swords kalau nak tau rambut aku camna...

Dia tengah je ada....tepi semua skin abih.

Tapi ni pun aku rasa da panjang kena skin agik esok.

Hope it doesn't look too horrendous.

Apapun...ada colleague siang tadi dari belah Berita Harian amik pics aku sebab nak wat citer pasal piercings, so aku kena jadik model dia.

Dapat gak tayang all my piercings in a national daily. Berbaloi ler harga piercings aku.

Harus piercer aku kat Kotaraya tu tompang bangga hasil keja tangan dia dipaparkan kat paper.

Ok ler...off to work!

Explaination...

Ni citer penuh from yesterday's posting kenapa Mawi broke down in tears.

Pada meka yang interested, this is the full article in The Malay Mail ari ni.

For the online version, click on The Malay Mail.

Sori ler semalam server down so aku takleh nak upload lagu dan ucapan baru dalam radio.blog. Selain sibuk, aku tengah demam teruk ni, so by lewat sikit malam ni ler ok.

Don't exploit me, pleads tearful Mawi

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11: "I am being exploited for the profit of others," said an emotional Asmawi Ani, 24, while lamenting the downside of his newfound fame and fortune.

Tears streamed down his cheeks as the Akademi Fantasia III champion talked about how his life has turned upside down.

Just last Saturday, the Johorean took home the richest prize in local reality TV history worth RM322,000. It comprised RM26,000 cash, an apartment, a Suzuki Swift 1.5L hatchback, a holiday package to London and Paris, a home theatre system, electrical appliances and three trophies.

Now barely into his first week as a star, Mawi, has discovered the ugly side of glamour. "They should be more respectful!

It's my life, my story!" he said lashing out at those who sought to make a quick buck from the public infatuation that has been labelled 'TsuMawi'.

Various merchandise from caps to keychains bearing his name, and image as well as his popular tagline of 'World!' have been the choice targets of 'pirates'.

The latest being a publication (not under the New Straits Times Press Sdn Bhd) sold at RM8 detailing every aspect of his pre-Akademi Fantasia life back in Felda Taib Andak, Kulai.

"If it's the official merchandise from the official fan club Mawi FC. I don't mind as they're just supporting my career.

"I am thankful for those who are sincere in supporting me. They're a non-profit outfit who serve to help bring my supporters closer by organising get-togethers.

"I know not everyone is like that, but many are out to make a quick profit, and that saddens me." Mawi, however did not threaten legal action against those who exploit his fame.

"I don't know how sincere they are in what they do. Only God knows, and I will accept it as calmly as I can," he said.

It has not been easy, however. The publication for instance, was noted for its many 'factual' errors.

"I realise I have so much to learn in handling the public exposure of my life. I was caught off guard. "I have no idea what causes people to react to me..." he said as he calmed down.

The front page stories on his private life have also exposed many 'untruths'.

And one of the hottest topics is of course the public obsession with his fiancee.

"My fiancee is okay with things and has kind of come to terms with the attention. We have agreed that we should accept things as they are fated."

He however shrugged off details of their respective families.

"As for when the wedding will be, I don't want to rush it, and I know a lot of people would prefer that I focus on my career for the moment.

"I spoke to my fiance just last night, and she's been crying, and her mother has been crying.

"The pressure is getting to everyone, and the only thing we can do is take things one day at a time."

While he has no regrets over his instant fame, Mawi nodded his head in agreement when asked that had he the option of doing something else, would he?

"I entered Akademi Fantasia to help better the life of my family, and if I could have done something else to support my parents, I would have done it."

Mawi menitis air mata?

Mmm.. kalau baca topik ni cam tak caya kan?

Tapi tu hakikatnya. Siang tadi, mula-mula aku panas bad mood sebab memacam tak kena ngan interview dan photography session tuk keempat finalist.

Tapi masa first interview - ngan Mawi - sebak lak tengok dia nangis meraung nasib dia.

Sebab dok kena eksploitasi ngan memacam barangan di hasilkan pakai nama dia...sebab memacam fitnah ditabur kat kuarga dia...takyah lah aku nak in depth.

But the bottomline is...keji ler keja ko kalau ko jenis orang yang nak cetak baju, topi dan sebagainya merchandise nak cari makan pakai nama orang tu...sama gak kalau ko jenis bangsa nabur fitnah pasai kuarga budak tu....

Pepandai ler pikir sendiri ler...kang orang kata aku ni jadik pro-Mawi lak. Apapun, aku salute sebab Mawi masih ingat diri dia. Lagipun, aku dan Juan Danza ler yang rapat ngan dia dan Marsha masa meka terkeluar Konsert Prelude dulu...me more to Marsha....

Tapi time tu orang tak pandang pun...sapa Mawi...sapa Marsha...cepatnya hati orang berubah ngan jadiknya popular. It's amazing how fame and fortune can change things...




Anyway....had a good photo shoot gak in the sense that dapat lepak meka berempat sat. Sebab rindu ngan meka nya pasal.

Ni some pics from the photo shoot....sorry terpaksa limited sebab malas sebenarnya nak amik bebanyak.





Dan ni ada pic ngarut sikit time Mawi dan Felix tengah tukar baju. Saja nak sakat Felix aku amik pic ni bagi dia panic. They were in between changing for a different wardrobe shoot. Amik ko!



Moving on...sebab letak pics ala ala naya Felix...ni nak tambah sikit gambar-gambar dia. Jangan marah, Felix. Kalau sebelum ni pics Mawi lak banyak, ni giliran Felix lak.

Esok lusa, giliran Amylea dan Marsha lak...leh?





Anyway nak recap sikit...semalam sebenarnya tak ada masa posting sebab gi MidValley sekali ngan member bloggers Juan Danza dan Sultan Muzaffar. Sampai sana lak terserempak Rosman Positivo dan kengkawan dia yang tak aku kenal.

Mula-mula gi sana sebab ada meet the fans session tuk Dian Sastrowardoyo dan Rizky Hanggono.

Aku gi pun sebab lama tak jumpa Dian...last met her was a couple of years ago when she was down here with Nicholas Saputra. Sebab suka prangai dia easy going and all - saja nak jumpa...jadi racun ler Juan nak ikut.

Last-last jumpa SM in MidValley and we bought tickets ler. To cut a long story short, interview dia and all (and dia tetap kata dia ingat aku - cam yer je walaupun tak jumpa dua tahun or so).
After that we settled for the butt-numbing two hours plus of Ungu Violet. Kesimpulannya? Quite a good premise for the movie. Sayang....editing and screenplay self-indulgent sikit lacking in any storytelling skills. So jadi lengthy and a little boring ler.

But apapun, it was still a pretty good movie. Dapat ler reach for those Premiers in one or two scenes walaupun cliche.

Ni ada pics sikit ngan Dian dan Rizky. Coutesy of Juan, surf over to Ungu/Violet punya official movie website. Still...gimme Eiffel! I'm In Love! anyday....

The official website shot of Ungu/Violet



With Dian and Rizky - and then with Dian alone.



Dian dan Rizky masa meet and greet



And last call, sorry ler pada meka yang tunggu aku nak wat review Sunday Nite Live Zahid and Friends last Sunday tu. Bukan apa tapi malas ler nak panjang-panjang review dalam kesibukan teramat ni.

Lagipun, memang teramat kecewa ngan showcase yang bagaikan promosi album lak. Mana tak nya. Dari 17 lagu yang dibawa malam tu, at least half a dozen pakai minus one. Adus...tak penah tengok live set camtuh.

Tapi memang performance Zahid ok ler. Farah menjerit sana sini, Adam looked out of place, while Nana looked comfortable.

Still - it was not much to shout about dan cuma dua tiga lagu je smangat orang nak tepuk and such.

Rasanya, ramai malam tu yang kunjung pun peminat Akademi Fantasia.

So...kalau sesapa nak give it a go, be sure it's going to be a fun event this 21hb sebab rasanya bebudak Akademi Fantasia III akan turun memeriahkan sekali malam tu...but takder confirmation ler.

How good it's going to be if left to be seen.

Ok ler...I'll leave you with pics of the cast of Zahid & Friends malam tu. Nak gi tidur. Tak sihat...jerebu teruk sangat. Mata aku asik berair, and my nose is running. Hatre this weather.

Esok dahler full day nak submit dua story then ada PC and then belah malam nak ke era.fm lagik. Adus...

Anyway ingat ek...remember... keep voting for my blog dan lebih citer dan gambar narik by clicking VOTE!!!





*Expect radio.blog to be updated 12am kang ngan pesanan khas para finalist Akademi Fantasia III pada pengunjung blog ni.

By the way...ni masa jalan-jalan kat MidValley ngan Juan Danza dan Sultan Muzaffar sambil nunggu movie start - terjumpa lak klon meka. Comel sangat aku nak sangat amik pic meka berdua tengah beriadah.

Jangan marah guys...you're practically green with envy!

Juan Danza dan Sultan Muzaffar?

Mawi?

Hari ni memang lesu semacam.

Been so stressed out with work the past week...today...everything just took its toll.

Tambah agik ada stress keja memacam.

Dahler pas final tak tidur-tidur terus sambung keja. Belah malam lak gi Planet Hollywood nak tengok show Zahid & Friends tuk Sunday Nite Live yang last-last jadik show syiok sendiri Sham Kamikaze, cam gak final Akademi Fantasia malam sebelum.

Kali pertama aku tengok 'live' show pakai minus one for almost half the show.

Takpe...besok aku review kat sini skali...

Anyways...ni sebenarnya tak larat nak posting...tapi ni ada pics baru diterima dari Hawa, member di era.fm. Nak kongsi korang semua...ni masa Mawi diinterview Linda siang tadi on-air.



Tengok aa gelagat dia...mai kita ucap tima kasih ramai-ramai....ti-ma-ka-sih-ha-wa....

Enjoy more of the pics at [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages!.

Apapun...teruskan vote blog...tomorrow bebudak ada kat Astro tuk Muzik@Ria kot...kalau sempat aku gi ler...

Ni nak ciao dinner dulu...

It's over...

So...apa nak dikata...

Semua dah tau keputusan kan?

Yeap - Mawi menang with 58%, Felix kedua with 30%, Amylea ketiga with 8% and Marsha with 4%.

Kalau ikutkan - aku seronok with all their performances, though ada ler tak puas hati sana sini.

But as I said, the final was not really a final for me as the placing memang tak penting bagi aku.

But I have to admit, dari segi jumlah undian Amylea dan Marsha, aku terkilan sedikit sebab undian tidak menunjukkan atau mengambarkan kebolehan ataupun kualiti persembahan mereka.

But...bukan dengki pada sesiapa...Mawi's success is his...

Aku akan posting full stats pasal bab undian dan analisis undian later.

Too tired sebab kena rush story.

Lepas habis konsert, ad alak press conference. Pastu lepak sat tima meka wat rakaman Imbasan Akademi Fantasia.

After finish that - lepak dengan finalists for a while sampai 4 lebih pagi.

Pergh...letih siot.

Balik sat mandi sebab rumah dekat ngan Shah Alam....then it's back to office at work.

Ni banyak lak nak habiskan lagi. So while I would love to update my blog with more stories of the final, as well as the radio.blog and stuff...tak larat sih!

Apapun - bagi peminat bekas pelajar-pelajar Akademi Fantasia, just to let you know, 14 bekas pelajarserta 6 tersingkir akan check-in bungalows Akademi Fantasia untuk dua ari mulai ari ni.

Kind of nostalgic time off for them to spend time together with their families or something.

Satu benda aku nak mention yang kurang enak (tapi syukur tak terjadi apa-apa) ialah orang kampung Mawi yang bak banner 100 kaki ke dalam stadium. Terpegun gak ngan banner meka...respect ler katakan!

Just it was disturbing to see that meka naikkan banner secara kurang elok ngan makan tempat banner-banner peminat-peminat Felix yang dah berkampung kat sana awal-awal.

Aku rasa benda tu was very rude...but aku salute peminat Felix yang dok diam je...malas nak tegur.

Pada mamat-mamat yang bak banner tu...I think that was not a nice thing to do...and tak perlu ler dalam keghairahan menyokong tu sampai nak menyakitkan hati orang.

Apapun - enjoy more pics at [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages! yang exclusive!

And remember... keep voting for me by clicking VOTE!!!

Ok...nak sambung buat kerja...and then nak balik tidur. More postings later tonight atau besok sebab malam ni nak ke Planet Hollywood tuk Zahid and Friends punya performance di Sunday Nite Live!

Felix dan Mawi - Amylea dan Marsha - berehat lepas rakaman Imbasan.



Sabah Power!!!



With the girls.



With Felix...tak jumpa sejak sebelum Konsert Prelude. Si Mawi lak tak jumpa sembilan minggu. Tambah kurus dia!

Yomeishu!

This is a little update on my girl, Nikki.

I hate to say she's formerly of Malaysian Idol.

Tapi apapun - she's now with Ning & Associates. For those of you who are waiting for her album (sapa yang tak...ko test power dulu, she's fantastic!!!)...here's the latest info.

The executive producer of the album is Ning Baizura.

Familiar names involved in Nikki's album, in alphabetical order, include: Audi Mok, Azlan Abu Hassan, Arthur Kam, Fauzi Marzuki, Genervie Kam, Hazami, Jamie Wilson, JFK, Little Z, Omar, Sharon Paul dan ramai lagik. Will update more on what's happening with the album as it happens.

So far aku da dengar finished product (yang lum mastered ler) and it's f*****g fantastic! Possibly one of the best debut albums EVER!

Aku tatau exactly when the release will be, but album expected, hopefully dalam sebulan dua ni.

On another tip - aku tau cita aku kat The Malay Mail mengenai tangisan Mawi tu banyak mendapat perhatian dari Mawi FC, tak kisah aa dot net ke dot com sebab aku pun baca forum keduanya.

Ni mari aku clarify kan. Suratkhabar lain tak sempat carry story tu sebab meka tup pages (kira tup kedai tuk malam tu) awal. Deadline aku tuk offstone (paper nak hantar dicetak) kul 4 pagik.

So aku sempat. Tambah agik, sebenarnya, sebagai seseorang yang tau cita Mawi sebenarnya - tu laa cara aku nak tolong. Aku nak highlightkan benda tu sebab aku rasa sendiri tindakan Diana tu..ehm...no komen lah. Baca buku tu sendiri pun da paham lah.

Cuma aku kasihan Mawi sangat. Memang dia menitis air mata, tapi dia control gak..bukan nangis abih. Aku dok berdepan ngan dia masa tu, aku perasan ler. Dia kan tekan-tekan biji mata dia tu nak tahan. Mata pun da merah...sebak je ngan pertanyaan aku.

Tu yang kalau pada meka yang ada kat sana...akan perasan abang Aman dan Freddie sendiri banyak jawab bagi pihak dia mengenai isu tu. Aku tanak komen lebih sebab aku tau tu antara Mawi dan Ina nak settlekan...tapi kan...kalau semua orang dah eksploitasi (termasuk ler orang yang nak wat duit sibuk ngan cita cinta orang), tu leh lagik aku maafkan - dari orang yang sepatutnya menjadi tulang belakang mangsa eksploitasi tu.

Who can you trust if not the person you love?

Moving on..

Ni ada benda aku nak cakap. Pada mangkuk jamban yang terasa penghinaan aku wat perangai cam lembu terlepas kandang ketika gathering Mawi FC aritu...ketika Malam Seribu Kenangan Bersama Mawi, aku nak cakap sikit!

Siapa yang makan cili...you know the rest kan?

Aku dapat mesej ni kat tagboard pagi tadi :

Aquakutum 06.Sep.2005 12:31 AM (GMT+8)
Klubbkidd ... tolong jaga bahasa sikit ye. ada ke panggil peminat Mawi yang gi ambil gambar Mawi kat meja VVIP ni macam lembu lepas kandang ... u ni datang dijemput je tak bayar pun. bahasa biar baik sikit ye kang tak pasal pasal orang boikot blog kau.

Jawapan aku :
Terasa ke? First sekali, aku gi bertugas. Secondly I believe it was also a personal invitation for those who supported Mawi all this while.

So? Aku tak bayar ko dengki? Nak aku bayar? Ko ke yang organise nak kecoh? Ek eleh...silap-silap kes bloggers terlampau yang dok tak malu gak punya kes gak ko ni.
Cakap je lebih.

Kalau dok meja VVIP tu da siap ada kerabat, peminat ke tak...pandai laa hormati perjalanan majlis. Naik kesian aku tengok organisers asik dok announce mintak orang dodok.

Pada yang tak paham bahasa, rasa bayar RM80 da ko berhak ke nak buat kurang ajar?

Tu lagik g*****g punya perangai! Nak boikot? I started this blog for MYSELF!

Nak boikot? Silakan...no skin off my back a*****e! Siapa yang jemput ko masuk?

Aku jemput semua kecuali lembu-lembu yang sensitif kuat terasa je bila perangai bintang tu ditegur.

Ni second message dia to Sultan Muzaffar dan aku dengar to kapitan as well :
Oleh kerana awak kenal rapat dengan Joe klubbkidd ... saya nak awak bagi tahu joe jangan sedap-sedap melabel peminat Mawi seperti lembu terlepas kandang .... we demand an apology from from him
Aquakutum

Look here, Aquascrotum atau apa pun nama samaran ko...aku tak label semua peminat Mawi, cuma yang tak paham bahasa malam tu! Sebab da dasar cam perangai lembu lepas kandang.

Berapa kali announcement dibuat pihak penganjur tuk control the situation.
Kalau da tak paham bahasa, lebih sesuai gi panggil lembu je!

Kalau da terasa sangat...RM80 ko tu takleh bagik ko peluang nak kurang ajar kat majlis orang...f**k off ler.

That's the problem ngan orang kita. Kalau bayar satu sen pun, rasa cam the world owes them a favour!

Take a hike ler....
A
nd the last thing I would say to you is...MOO YOU!!!

Back to more interesting things...letih sebenarnya nak update cause I've been feeling a little tired.

Entah...kena pekena Yomeishu kot.

Ni akibat sakit mata punya pasal dari Jumaat tu...plus the hectic list of events yang tetiba menyerang ler ni sampai aku tidur pun paling kuat sejam sehari je.

Sampai masa lepas gathering Mawi FC tu, esoknya (semalam ler) si Mawi masa wat benda alah penyerahan kereta kat DRB-HICOM pun signal tanya aku, cukup tidur ke tak.

Not like he doesn't know the answer...memandangkan mata dia pun swollen abih.

Dahlah patutnya 12pm event tu...aku sampai pun dah nak 1.30pm! Bangun lambat ler...mula-mula tanak tidur nak gi event tu terus. Kul 11 pagi dah tak tahan...amik ko!!!

Sampai-sampai blur semacam...mereka tengah perform. Masa tu kira top five termasuk Yazer menghadirkan diri, sekali ngan Akma pun ada suddenly.

Aku tak layan sangat performance meka...sempat ler sembang carut-mencarut ngan member press yang lain.
Sultan Muzaffar dan si elkapitan (Kepitan the stesen Jelatek) pun ada sekali. Si Juan lak nowhere to be detected!!! Tidur mati ler tuh...sedangkan janji nak jumpa sana sekali! Hampeh!

Aku tengok...seperti biasa la...mana ada Mawi...ada laa peminat yang agak overdose (tak puas ati lak ada yang terasa tu kena di panggil lembu terlepas kandang).

But the crowd was pretty under control so I guess it wasn't too bad. But images of 40 year-old makciks in tudungs running and pushing each other in a jostling competition nak amik pics of Mawi are pretty disturbing images for anyone, I'll tell you that!!!

Pastu PC ler sikit...and all. Aku malas dok lama, the whole gang press and friends semua ke next venue, iaitu Pan Pacific Glenmarie yang kat belakang je DRB HICOM tuk penyerahan cek pemenang pemenang Akademi Fantasia.

Dok sampai, ngan tak makan sejak pagi, aku pun lantak ler finger food yang ada walaupun majlis lum start! Memang tak senonoh...tapi pastu semua ikut lak. Sebelum tu semua buat je segan...

Dah bebudak Akademi Fantasia sampai termasuk Kefli, function lak takleh start...primadona tak sampai ler katakan..biasa laa orang Kuala Lipis kena grand entrance katakan.

Nothing much to say about the event.

Meka nyanyi sikit...but kali ni more relaxed ler...cam bersantai sebab function closed, bukan pesta fun fair. Yang ada kat dalam bilik pun berapa puluh oang je...so tak tension ler naik pening orang lari sana sini ala ala main rugby nak dapatkan gambar dan autograph.

After abih event tu yang besh. Lepak ngan Mawi sat...pastu sok sek ngan Felix lak. Yazer dok sembang so takpe ler...anytime leh jumpa.
Si Kefli kemudian join aku dan si Sultan Muzaffar dan elkapitan (naik gedik ngan Marsha tuh) layan Akma, Amylea and of course, my baby girl, Marsha.

Ok aaa...pastu balik opis lak..ya ampun, lethargic gila! On the way si Sultan Muzaffar ngadu tertinggal notebook (saja jer ler nak pasang umpan dan malas update blog).

Aku dok balik wat news story...pastu tertidur terhantuk pala kat PC akibat keletihan teramats!
Sedar-sedar da nak tengah malam. Tunggu dua jam tuk Juan muncul pastu gi makan kat Kampung Baru. Pastu balik KO sampai tengahari siot!!!

Anyways, pasal komen bebudak kuarga Fantasia mabuk an sebagainya...camni je laa aku leh komen.

Setakat ni, lum ada nama-nama tersebut kena botol depan aku atau wat tak senonoh. Walaupun bermacam cerita, dan aku tau setakat mana kebenarannya, aku mintak semua bak bertenang ler. Selagi lum nampak depan bijik mata sendiri (atas dasar laporan orang...) takyah la.

Besides..fans will be fans..and people can always say what they like.

Bukan aku nak kata meka semua baik, tapi lak melampau fanatik sampai setiap gerak geri mereka dipertikai. Kalau nak tau camtuh...ada yang memang perangai cam p*****k pun ada, cuma aku rasa tak perlu dikongsi secara terbuka. Peminat sendiri leh nilaikan sama plastik dan palsu..dan HIPOKRIT!

Yang aku pentingkan their public approach. So as long as tak terbukti pe-pe...love them for their talent (kecuali kalau poyo punya perasan).

Orang suka nak cita pasal couple antara budak kuarga Fantasia, but hey...meka ada hak gak kalau nak bercinta kan? Cuma selagi meka pandai jaga diri, tak terover...it's ok. Banyak lagi cita yang sampai pangkat menyundal punya perangai lum terdedah yang agik teruk!

So be wary...berjaga-jaga jer lah apa motif orang nak cita kan pasal keburukan budak-budak ni.
Ok ler...nak kuar da...take care guys...more updates soon!

And pada mereka yang baca column Soseh-Soseh kat Harian Metro, harapnya terbukti ler (banyak lagi column pun tulis) pasai dua orang yang aku boikot tu...bukan oleh aku je...tapi majoriti media cetak dan elektronik secara senyap.

*Pics exclusive akan diuploadkan malam ini

Here we go now...

Ok...less than 24 hours to go!

The tension mounts!

Not for me really...esok aku nak gi Stadium Malawati to enjoy je. Kan da kata...siapa menang tak penting, kerana keempat-empat mereka dahpun juara ngan layak ke final.

Aku tak paham tul ada fanatik panik kerana pilihan mereka tak nombor satu ke dikatakan jatuh dalam ranking ke...sibuk-sibuk nak SMS...wei duit dapur bini bagi dulu wei! Makcik...susu anak tu dah cukup ke?

Tahap sekarang, keempat mereka dah TERJAMIN akan menpunyai pendapatan LEBIH daripada ALL of you for the next 12 months!

Bak kata aku pada seorang fanatik...

Kalau si polan ni tak menang ruimah dan keta pun...so what? Dengan pendapatan dia pun - empat bulan da leh beli sendiri. So ada beza ke?

Sheesh! Fanatics!

Anyway - speaking of fanaticism - ni aku ada dapat email. Comparison Mawi dan Ayah Pin.



So ketara ke persamaan dia ke...(Tergelak sat!)

Hopefully tak ada yang sensitif pasal bab pics ni ek...lawak jerk...

Anyway...ni pics aku dapat on their last week in the Akademi...I'm going to miss them...oh wait a minute...not really...cause I dah lama boycott Diari dan Xtra.

But anyway - here's a last look at them still in the Akademi...



Apapun...walaupun aku sokong keempat-empat...Marsha is still my favourite....simply because she is a beautiful person...in and out. The rest are cool too...but I just support Marsha more.

Whether she ends up last in the placing...or whatever...it doesn't really matter.

So how you guys gonna vote?

Apapun - vote wisely and spend wisely...ok.

Jangan nak gila babas sampai nyesal lak abih duit. Lagipun...baru berapa haribulan. Ingat-ingat lah sikit ek... Happy AFUNDI-ing.

Jangan lupa, update tuk blog akan dilakukan lewat kerana sibuk ngumpul maklumat eksklusif dari keempat-empat mereka at the press conference after the konsert final.

Keep checking for updates!

Hot off the press!

Consiparacy theories fire up forums
Amir Hafizi & Adly Syairi Ramly

KUALA LUMPUR , August 4: One thing for sure. Akademi Fantasia fans are a passionate lot. The recent decision by show producers Astro not to reveal the percentage of votes of the final four students only added fuel to the fire for conspiracy theories.

Just a simple surf of Akademi Fantasia-related sites and forums revealed a certain perception that the results and direction of the popular reality show has been manipulated since the beginning.

One of the interesting comments that might sum up the whole show came from Cari.com.my forum member SyD: "You think this is all coincidence? I think not. Malaysian TV stations still are not brave enough to let their reality programmes have a life of its own. They are still dependent on script and deliberate video editing."

Most comments on the Internet forums, however, were about ringgit and sen. They believe that Astro is trying to squeeze as much money as possible from viewers and staunch followers of Akademi Fantasia.

Every time a 'controversy' develops, comments will pour into Astro@15 channel via SMS — which is certainly a profit-generating venture.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES
On the recent decision not to reveal the percentage of votes of the final four students: "Since the Conspiracy to oust Mawi during the ninth concert was foiled, is this Astro's last move, if not, the safest move to stop Mawi from winning? I can't wait for the final result." — Alovera posted on Cari.com.my

"I don't think it's a conspiracy. It's more like a strategy to ensure that active voters would send in more votes. The more votes sent, the more money Astro makes." — Babybueno posted on Cari.com.my

"Astro is treating Akademi Fantasia like a game and not a competition. The students are treated like video game characters." — defeduck posted on cari.com.my

On the alleged conspiracy by Astro against popular contestant Asmawi Ani (Mawi)

"Based on how Mawi has been leading the pack since day one, it's pretty obvious who's going to be the winner. To spice things up and to ensure that it's going to be a fair competition, hence the conspiracy." — SyD posted on cari.com.my.

Apart from the 'conspiracy', we also came across some other interesting discussions related to Akademi Fantasia 3 contestants, instructors, critics during the weekly concerts and the overall flow of the programme. Below are some interesting observations. For details, visit Cari.com.my.

"Astro has decided on the final four beforehand." "Why Kudsia Kahar (the permanent critic for Akademi Fantasia 3 weekly concert) was never critical of the contestants."

"Is M. Nasir taking advantage of Mawi's popularity?"

"What are the inappropriate things that host Aznil Nawawi did and said that might have offended people?"

"Will there be a bloodbath at Akademi Fantasia 3 final concert?"

"Watch out! Mawi FC and Felix FC set to battle it out"

"Poll: Who's stupider? Mawi fans or Felix fans?"

"Is it necessary for Marlia Musa (one of the instructors) to hug male students?"

Apa lagi, gi usha The Malay Mail ari ni. Ada gambar committee members Mawi FC skali. Nama forummers yang quoted tu cam jer ada yang familiar (tergelak sorang-sorang!)

Ok ler semua. Banyak keja nak buat. Takde semangat nak wat anything special for my blog in the lead-up for the finals. Maybe esok kalau ada masa maybe lah.

By the way - dah haircut baru. Mawi style!

Tapi tetap ala punk ler rambut aku. Amik ko! Fashion for the finals!
