Sour grapes!

Hari ni kurang kerja, sebab Siti pun da kawin, and we're all just taking a breather before the next circus over her preparations for the reception.

So sempat ler aku updatekan blog. After the tonnes of medication I took, I am feeling slightly better... and pas paksa diri untuk nak rajinkan diri, I have finally, yes, finally put up a proper update selepas beberapa hari.

Ok... first of all, aku nak deal with several issues yang timbul hari Jumaat lepas.

Of course, firstly, pasal sesi Lepas Geram kat ERA.

Makcik meroyan yang ngadu pasal blog wartawan yang kutuk Faizal sebagai orang kampung.

Aku mula-mula geram abih... but then aku tergelak sorang.

Yerlah... tima kasih ler makcik sebab naikkan nama blog aku pada satu Malaya... dan membodohkan diri sendiri.Aku dedicate gambar ni kat ko.

Ko memang OKU dari segi mentaliti!

Buat kali terakhir aku akan ulangi... time competition berjalan, aku akan say what I feel is necessary in evaluating the students of Akademi Fantasia. Secondly, apa aku cakap atas dasar pemerhatian - backed by what I feel is the reason for what I feel.

Thirdly, da Akademi Fantasia pun da abih... penting ke nak berbalah pasal sokon-sokong sapa lagi? Sekarang kalao sokong, sokong bukan ngan mulot. Sokong ngan beli album.

Tu je.

Orang kutuk aku memacam, bebudak tu semua ok je ngan aku. Seperti musim-musim Akademi Fantasia yang lain... dalam Akademi aku anggap meka as TV characters, but once out, depending on their real character, aku anggap as friends. Aku tak terkejar nak berkawan seperti separuh orang. Aku tak menggunakan tugas sebagai alasan. Aku tak berkepit ke mana saja dan sanggup habiskan wang Ringgit untuk nak rapatkan diri.

And that's the truth.

Faizal is more than ok with me. Kalau dia boleh call tengah malam (time tu dia pree sebab celah recording) nak tanya khabar... kalau Haziq leh call aku sebab nak tanya khabar.... kalau Lotter mintak nombor aku.... and bila jumpa je melompat peluk terus.

Mereka lah yang paling aku kritik dalam Akademi, tapi meka sendiri leh tima... apa kelemahan mereka aku say it face to face je. Nak terasa terpulanglah kan?

Kalau aku pun dalam keadaan mereka, aku lebih rela orang terus terang cakap apa saja kelemahan aku, supaya aku boleh perbaiki diri.

Bukan nak memuji ke tak abih-abih padahal standard tak sampai kemana.

Farhan... Velvet... Diddy... all of them... sampai yang terkeluar awal dan aku penah kritik hebat cam Salima pun maintain je.

Yang makcik meroyan tuh kenapa?

Lepas geram konon... makcik oi... kalau nak lepas geram... mai sini. AKu ajar ko wat blog ek!

Pastu ko meroyan la sepuas ati. Orang mengkritik takleh konon... abih ko kritik aku leh? In English, we say that's the 'pot calling the kettle black'.

Atau kalau tak paham bahasa, paku dulang paku serpih mengata orang dia yang lebih!

Anyway, ko nak kritik etika kewartawanan aku, sila bagitau ko ni keja apa makcik... ko tau ke pasai etika kewartawanan?

Lagipun, ko paham tak blog tuh apa? Blog ni memaparkan pendapat individu... so apa kena mengena nya ngan kerja aku?

Kalau tak paham... gi belajar dulu sebelum nak komen orang. Cermin muka sendiri.

Dahler tiba-tiba meroyan konon pasal menghina orang Terengganu kampung la... ko baca ke tak baca? Ke ko tengok gambar je?

Mangkuk hayun tul...

Anyway... tu first issue. Second is of course, gossip thread yang muncul dalam beberapa forum pasal Media Appreciation Night Akademi Fantasia.

Orang tak penah bising pasal masquerade party lah... company dinner la.. even hari penyampaian hadiah.... klau ada cross-dressing.

The event organised by Astro, yang dihadiri media dan juga bebudak Akademi Fantasia, serta ramai kaki penyibuk was for fun.

Well, again, people can say what they want to lah... bab tu aku tak heran langsung walaupun personal attack memacam pun, aku ok je.

After all, for one night of having fun... aku walk away with a four days three nights full board at Cherating worth RM1,500.

No hal je...

So to friends and to my blog family, yang risau aku stress ke apa-apa pasal tuh, don't worry lah.

Small matter.

Little things like that are not worth the stress.

So anyway, picking back up... on Friday, aku teman beberapa orang kawan tuk photography untuk portfolis finalists Akademi Fantasia musim ni.

Thanks to a mix up in Maestro, sesi yang patutnya mula 11 pagi, hanya akan berjalan pas semayang Jumaat. So since we were in Subang Jaya, we thought singgah ler sat kat Mydin Mall (ya ampun.. siap bukak MALL katanya).

Lihat gambar di bawah... kami shopping tuk snacks for Fiebie.

Wanie posing ngan snacks kami beli tuh Fiebie

Sebenarnya shopping trolley tuh ala ala gimik je kat Mydin Mall. Pemegang rekod as the biggest shopping trolley in Malaysia katanya (why bother???!!!)

Pastu kami pun kembali ke studio Click. Bebudak preparekan for sesi photography manakala aku lepak je menunggu bebudak sampai.

As soon as we reached the stuio, tengok Rich kat luar, so caught up with him on several thing dan sembang. Sat agi... si Lotter lak join. Turns out Rich yang hantar Lotter ke studio sebab Lotter dok melepak rumah dia malam sebelumnya. Yang dijadualkan sampai lagi, si Haziq, Farhan dan Velvet sebab si Faizal masih kat Terengganu ada show.

Tengah Lotter di make-up, si Haziq lak sampai.

Kecoh sekejap pasal semua hoo-ha menggila.

Time antara shoot Lotter punya next shot, wig yang dalam koleksi bebudak jadi mangsa bila Lotter feeling rockstar sat.

Amik ko... rupa cam haper ntah.

Aku tengok bebudak kali ni pandai lagik posing daripada bebudak Akademi Fantasia musim lepas. Kira natural gak ler depan camera feeling top model.

Bergilir mereka berdepan ngan kamera, sempat ler sembang ngan Haziq pasai peminat dia ada yang tak puas ati ngan aku.

Yerlah... bukan tak sokon ke apa... kan da kata, apa kritikan dari hasil konsert, is for that period only. Masih ada yang tak paham... bebudak ni semua da ok jer ngan apa pun kritikan.

Nama pun nak jadi artis. Ingat semua orang akan minat ke sampai takde yang mengkritik.

Namakan satu artis yang takde kelompok yang akan mengkritik. Aku puas ati gak sebab bebudak ni pijak bumi nyata, dan sedar tu asam garam kehidupan mereka sebagai artis.

Sempat ler meka tanya nasihat memacam.

Alamak... rambut Haziq cam penyapu siot. Kering... very dry and brittle.

Tu la akibatnya Astro dapatkan khidmat 'stylist' murahan nak kalerkan rambut meka... kan da hancur.Mintak dia gi treatment kalao leh sebab risau umur muda da gugur semua kang.

After all, tetiap kali meka photoshoot dan sebagainya, biasalah nak kena hairdryer... iron... gel... etc.

Smart Haziq posing... tengok hasil photography memang dia one of the best when it comes to it.

He's definitely a natural in front of the camera.

Pas bebudak abih, dan nak pulang, Farhan dan Velvet masih tidak kelihatan. Aku tertidur dan terjaga about past 7. Rupanya miscommunication punya pasal! The two girls ada press conference earlier, so memang tak sempat ler, tapi da bagitau.

Ada yang bangang yang tak sampaikan pesan.

Whatever lah... sempat gak aku lelapkan mata sat.

When they arrived, again kecoh...riuh rendah semua sibuk hi hi puffy amiyumi katanya.

The make-up and photography session went well enough. Cita banyak pasal bebenda that's been happening and all. I love the way the girls are. Sebenarnya nampak keletihan meka teramat, tapi jejak masuk je studio, semua orang di salam.

Hah... camtuh beb PR baguih. Biarlah orang nak kata sombong ke diva ke... tapi ko tak camtuh da cukup.

Sebagai orang baru, jangan ngalah ngan kritikan... jangan mabuk ngan sokongan... malah bekerja lah lebih keras nak membuktikan tanggapan orang salah belaka.

Ni some of the shots I took with the girls (tanak amik pics ngan bebudak tu with my mobile, walaupun Haziq paksa gambar ngan dia tuk handphone dia)

Kalau nak tau beberapa budak Akademi Fantasia ni, hobi bergayut!

Tengok tuh... kantoi si Velvet!!! Hah... aku da ada photography evidence, bah!!!

Pandai gak Farhan pose!

Gayut ngan sapa??? With the REAL Velvet and Farhan (kenapa spek itam?... sebab tak cukup tidur...)

Went back terus berehat sebab keletihan teramat.... tambah agik satu badan sakit je. Effect umur kot....

KOed terus tanpa maaf!

Eh by the way, hari sebelum tuh singgah Thomas & Guys, sponsor rambut bebudak Akademi Fantasia (bukan ketika rancangan - tu buruk!)Thomas & Guys yang baru ni located kat Petaling Street, so lepak kat sana sebab bebudak Prelude ada ler sana. Atas jemputan Hazel dari Maestro, aku singgah ler.

Bukan nak wat rambut pun... aku tengah syok nak panjangkan tanak wat per per.

Time kat sana, serempak ngan the best people in the world!!! The ones who actually deserve the term mesra.

Sapa lagik kalau bukan majoriti moderator untuk @15. Ala korang selalu chat ni, meka laa yang lidah manis tapi raja tebas mesej, pastuh kaki apikan pasal isu tuh ni.

Tapi meka ni semua baik-baik ok!!!

One of my closest friends, si Qenari (kena ikut nickname) Korang kalao tengok dia chat, ni lah gambar dia ek! Comel tak?

Kalau dia kat msjbox, aku perasan yang suka ayat dia si BlackList (mak aih... mana leh BL, dia tuh minat Mawi tau!)

Ni gambar Qenari yang aku amik dulu kat Astro tapi tak jadi-jadi. Bawahnya pics konon make-over dia yang vast. Ramai mod sebenarnya aku tak kenal lagi... dulu kenal laa seketul dua. Kali ni aku serempak si HipoKiutSgt, DakArab... sapa agik ek. Watie....

Sorry ler kalao ada yang aku tak perasan atau tak ingat lak... jangan marah ek. Aku sempat amik pic Qenari tengah makeover (hasilnya takde sebab aku da ciao sebab tak sanggup tunggu berzaman dia nak cantikkan diri... dan Hipo sebab dia sibuk posing tunggu turn dia nak wat rambut)
Tapi since Qen kata nak SMS rambut dia yang dia feeling cantik sangat... nanti aku letak atas izin dia kalao dia benarkan ek.

By the way, Qen... tul ke gossip koda ada boypren??? (matilah aku kena lanyak sikicik ni bila jumpa kang... dia ni ganas gak tau!)

Cantik ke??? Ni lah Qenari @15. Erm... comel laa kot!!!
Siapa mod yang pusing pala tuk elak di kesan, dan gambar ala ala curi HipoKiutSgt

Lain kali chat, pandai-pandai ler ayat ek moderators comel-comel ni. Ni ramai lagik yang kiut miut, Tapi nanti aku amik pic letak sini so korang leh bombard @15 ngan kata kata manis tuk ayat meka ek.

Sambung cita... now where was I. Oh yes...well Saturday and Sunday was actually more of a rest day. Asalnya cadang nak ke Melaka tuk perkahwinan kakak Hatta, tapi malam minggu tuh janji ngan Mr. Manager lepak sekali kat Yogyakarta Quake Aid 2006.

Pegi bukan seperti separuh orang atas dasar nak carik makan... tapi atas undang kawan. Uwaa... lama da tak pakai tag Artiste - All Access.

Dapat ler merentas desa satu area ek.

Masa sampai, keta aku tetiba breakdown secara misteri. Lantak ler. Time tu Padi tengah perform, so sebab keta tak jauh dari tapak konsert, layan dua lagu dulu before check keta.

Takde apa dapat dikesan, tengok pas kejap lak ok je. So whatever.

Lepak tunggu Ning sampai ngan her mom, tengok-tengok sia sia je sebab meka da jalan ke backstage rupanya. Aiyak...terpaksa aku dok layan my cold pizza and bersemuka seseorang yang aku tak ingin.

Pada orang tu - I know you're reading this. I'm not mad anymore. But it hurts everytime I see you. You know what you did. At least apologise. Apapun, at least ler dia salam ngan aku dan senyum, walaupun aku rasa plastik.

Made my way backstage je, saw the people I wanted to meet the most.

PADI!!!

Aku dua regional bands aku memang gilakan, Padi dan Sheila On 7! They're the best, and most intelligent rock acts for me.

Aku tak tegur ke apa, tapi it was nice to see time meka kena interview, Padli, vocalist of the band, angguk dari jauh dan senyum.

Mak aih!!! Ingat aku lagik. Last I met them was years ago, and I've only met them I think twice, sekali sini dan sekali di Singapore.

Pas abih kena interview ngan TV semua, he walked up to me and talked to me. Aku memang admiration aku tuk Padi max lah. Manager meka pun rileks je layan aku.

The other two Indonesian artistes I met, sorang leh ingat aku , sorang tak.

Melly memang tak penah ingat aku... nevermind... I love her songs. I've only met her three times, sekali AIM berzaman dulu... and she wasn't much of a talker back then either, and the last masa Fiesta Media Idola earlier this year.

But the best thing was, Kris Dayanti nampak aku dari jauh, terussenyum and excitedly waved.

"Rambut kamu udah panjang!"

I giggled aja lah. What else do you do when Kris Dayanti talk s about your hair. Erm...

Sempat sembang sikit je sebab masa tu dia nak naik pentas da. Also with Anang, her husband.

Cantik tak rambut Ning wat camni?

Walaupun tetap maintain pesen sama dia yang short bob light light tuh, dia gel kan and blow, meletup!!! Very the revival of the Eighties!

Aku pantang ler nak amik pcis of them both together. Mak aih, bila dua diva bertemu, dan posing sakan... ni rupanya hasilnya!

Sunday was absolutely a day of rest for me lah. Forget everything about Sheila On 7. Aku memang berhajat nak gi, tapi pikirkan keperluannya nak berehat sebab esoknya pertunangan dan akad nikah Siti awal pagi.

Tak larat!

Kena gak tidur. The only real activity was fixing up the car (there was nothing to fix - like I said.. rosak misteri - suspen tak?)

Drop by gi Mentor sat je, then ke Hartamas jumpa Nana and friend and then ke Sampaikan Siti kat Sri Pentas. Abih tuh semua pun da pukul berapa da.

So hit the sack the moment I got back. Tak larat lah...

Of course, esoknya aku gi Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan... banyak ler nak cita. But aku rasa, ramai pun da cita benda yang sama da.

Bukak setiap paper dan majalah ari ni... you get to see everything. Takyah ler aku nak bagi laporan basi.

For me, it was fun - tapi tak kuasa sebab ramai gatecrashers sangat. Dari 1,000 jemputan, dekat 2,000 yang muncul. Wartawan dan media yang diutamakan - tiba tiba bertambah jumlah ngan ada mereka yang tak bertauliah.

And that's what I want to talk about.People selalu cakap... wartawan hiburan tu lah... ni lah...

First off all, aku da penah wat news, politics, features, crime and even sports.

But my background, aku ada amik Diploma In Sound and Audio Engineering.

The point of saying that?

Sebab orang suka kutuk low class la wartawan cam kami ni etc. You don't know what we have to go through everyday....

Tapi yang kelakarnya, kutuk camtuh camni... tetap beli gak nak tau cita kan? The media gives what the people want. People talk about educating your readers... but do the readers want to be educated?

Every magazine, newspaper or even TV show, has a target audience... so why bitch about what the medium is providing.

And that's the same with my blog. Camni lah... lain kali nak ngumpat, cermin je diri sendiri.

Nak kata tak professional? Try coming in as an intern, just mesej or call me. Tengok ko leh tahan tak lifestyle camni?

Dapatkan scoop atau cita yang leh jual... mampu ke?

You don't like a certain brand of reporting? Don't buy the paper, Don't watch or listen to the station... and for blogs, click that little 'X' kat ujung window tuh tuk close it. Senang je.

So bab Siti punya marriage, first of all, aku nak dedicate this to the entertainment reporters which were so dedicated and very gigih in covering the event, without which korang kena jadik antara gatecrashers to know what happened.

Ni sebahagian mereka yang bertugas ketika lunch. Tu Farihad dari Berita Harian dan Hafidah dari New Straits Times. The next pic tu Marliah dan the other end tuh Shaharudin from Kosmo! Tengah tu photographer meka tak kenal nama. Ramai lagi nak amik, tapi tak sempat snappy. You know who you guys all are.
Yang last bawah tuh, yang start isu Ina tuh, Serimah dari Berita Harian gak. Superstar tuh!

So how the wedding? I'm glad for Siti obviously.

So... selamat pengantin baru kepada Siti Nurhaliza dan Datuk Khalid Mohamad Jiwa.

I thought baju Siti ok ler, tapi sarat sikit ngan diamante, but boleh lah. Make up dia aku rasa terlampau tebal, especially around the eyes, sampai nak kata hampir tak kenal lak.

But as horrible as I thought Radzwan Radzwill's ensemble was, I thought the tiara was the MOST HORRIBLE THING aku penah nampak. Ala rupa bargain bin kat Semua House ok!

Perlu ke? Tak penah aku nampak orang tunang dan nikah kat masjid pakai camtuh. Kalau sanding ok ler, walaupun tetap rupa markonah sikit. Still, seb baik Siti cantik, so seburuk mana Radzwan Radzwill punya keja pun... she's still pretty!

Aku dapat ler close up ngan dia masa she spent some time ngan media. Aku dok depan sekali dekat ngan dia, and I could say she really was extremely happy.

Aku sempat wish her congratulations, walaupun sekadar dari jauh.

Siti hanya mouthed the words "Terima kasih", senyum dan angguk.

That was enough. I have buried my hatchet with her. I wish her all the best in her new life as wife, hopefully mother, apart from daughter and pop star. She deserves that happiness in her life. Everyone does.

Rugi je yang tak dapat invite. Tengok kat TV je does no justice to the wedding.

Me?

Semalam I decided to do some things, celah kesibukan coverage tuk Siti punya wedding. One was going for a medical check-up. Banyak tak kena, and I got many types of medication, plasters, creams and much more.

By the end of the first night semalam, aku da pekena semua ubatan aku, and then topped it off with Xanax (sleeping pills), terus aku aman semalam dibuai mimpi.

Lega... tidur dalam kul 4 pagi.

Aku sedar saja...

AWWWMIIIGAWDD!!!!!

Da kul 2 petang! Aiyo... that's the last of the Xanax! No more sleeping pills. Tidur lebih-lebih lak! Aku tanak amik lagik la. Kang terus tak sedar da siang bangun the next night camna?

But I least I feel a lot better now, and I'm thankful that I actually took the time to go to the doctor. Kelegaan dari kesakitan yang biasa (fizikal dan emosional), aku hari ni lebih ceria je.

My mom got into a slight accident yesterday... but I was happy simply because she didn't get hurt.

Damn bloody rude drivers who slam into the rear of 60 year-old women's cars and swear like an uncouth asshole. Hope your mom gets rundown by a steam roller soon.

Arghh!!! Tak perasan da kul 7.30pm dah! Dah dekat dua jam lebih aku blogging ni. Ok ok.... to be continued soon ok with more (yes a lot more) pictures of Siti's wedding... ciao!

PS : Esok aku letak beberapa agik pics Siti kat sini, along with cita pasal birthday party Farhan semalam. Sabar ek. Kerajinan update da kembali so no worries about no entries now.

Mana dia?

Aku sebenarnya letih... kurang sihat.... dan malas nak blog.

Tapi sebelum bertimbun bahan tuk blog yang menjalar sampai earn Malaysia's Book of Records longest entry ever punya title, baik aku 'clear stock' dulu.

But not today...

Terlampau banyak nak blog about... of course pasal wedding Siti Nurhaliza dan Datuk Khalid Jiwa - selamat pengantin baru to both... then pasal Force of Nature serba sikit (dapat jumpa balik Melly dan Kris Dayanti as well as husband dia Anang yang da setahun plus tak jumpa tapi masih ingat aku, juga kumpulan Padi yang masih tak berubah mesra)...then ada cerita pasal bebudak Akademi Fantasia.

And perlu ke nak ketinggalan bebanyak 'isu' yang melanda aku?

Apapun, tadi medical check-up... ubat yang dapat pun banyak... keja lagik bertimbun... tomorrow line clear sikit nak blog.

So much to share... and always that same worry of so little time.

To those who seek that little comfort from my musings and rantings, maafkan aku, as I really will update my blog tomorrow. Awal! Tu janji....

Catfight!!!

Semalam rancang macam-macam... tapi hajat tak kesampaian.

Ingat abih keja, nak larikan diri.

Mak aih... loaded gila. because of Siti, hidup aku tak terurus... bukan salah dia.... yerlah nak kejar story cam orang gila pastikan tak terlepas apa-apa salah sendiri kan nak carik makan ngan wat benda camni. Matilah aku selagi things don't settle down, I am sure as hell not going to get any rest.

Damn...

Semalam ingat nak balik awal, tapi had to talk to the wedding planner Datuk Shah Rezza for full details of something... dia busy sangat, sampai dari 4 petang aku call dia, dia kata 5.30pm baru settle and free.

Call lak... driving.... call again, ada orang lak keliling dia takleh concentrate.

And it went on and on...tak salahkan dia... tau keja dia pun leh tahan gila gak.

Anyway, believe it or not... finally dia call aku about 2.45am, just as aku nak putus asa.

Terus email story... seb baik deadline leh extend sebab untuk weekend edition of the paper je.

Ni kena repeat lagi this routine for the next week plus.

By the time I was done sending the stories and all... dah 6 pagi. Tidur time matahari nak terbit.

Memang orang kurang siuman punya kerja lah ni. And after 11 years in this line, aku rasa cam masa untuk ubah arah.

I started with music, then got into writing... it didn't matter back then cause both were my loves, but now... entah lah. I think I should make a shift and go back fully to music.

Bangun pun da tengahari.

Singgah melantak, dapat call from Meor. Ada story kena follow, but later Adly yang wat (he's good with women).

Rupanya ada catfight which resulted in a police report.

Hah... ni korang ler first to know sebelum paper kuar esok.

Hah... kenal meka tak dari pic atas tuh?

Alkisahnya, earlier today, actress Lisdawati lodged a police report sebab kena dush ngan Rita Rudaini. Ala... Lisdawati... tak kenal ke? Also goes by the name Nisdawati... merasalah feeling tukar nama sebab unlucky name katanya.

Anyways, both were supposedly acting, tengah shooting drama kat Penang, and it escalated into a massive b***hslapping session. Aku suka... aku suka!!!

Very the Krystle Carrington versus Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan (matilah aku ingat agik citer Dynasty and all those itsy bitsy details!)

Aku dengar sampai kes tarik rambut, tampar... sampai masuk swimming pool agik!

Tak caya? Baca semua suratkhabar esok! Yang aku Tau, The Malay Mail and Harian Metro ada cita tuh. The Malay Mail ada komen dua pihak agik serta salinan laporan polis by Lisdawati.

Kalau Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim komen ke atas Sharifah Amani dan mengatakan dia 'bintang filem perasan' dan apa yang dia katakan "apa yang disebutkan itu terlalu merendahkan reputasi bangsa dan bahasa sendiri", bagaimana pula ek rasanya ngan perangai pelakon drama yang tak se glamour?

Excluded ke?

Moral police... please get your act in gear dan jangan nak double standard bab Nani je. In fact... ramai agik ler yang wat perangai tak senonoh takde lak menteri nak keji habis habisan.
Sheesh... dalam gelak tension agik lak...

Nak balik da lah ni...

PS - Puas ati finally Zayra Alvarez eliminated for Rockstar : Supernova! About time (thank God Josh and Jill semua pun gone). Bila lagik si Ryan bangang tuh nak berambos! Go Dilana and Lukas!!!

PS Part II - Puas agi tengok Fazura dalam Ejen 016 semalam!

Kau bukan untuk ku

I feel shitty today. Pardon my French.

Dalam sakit pala... malas... banyak kerja kena dihabiskan untuk edisi hujung minggu. Pasal apa lagi kalau bukan persiapan segala cerita untuk perkahwinan Siti Nurhaliza dan Datuk Khalid Mohamad Jiwa.

Everything began from yesterday. Dalam lega dah abih one round of work, went for supper.

Dalam time tuh, pala mula berpusing angkara seseorang. I hate technology.

Another phase of my life, is now officially over,

Sedih tapi nak wat apa. Nak nitis air mata pun tak guna, kan.

I've become acquainted with loneliness for a long time now. But I've always kept hope that in some form, and that somehow seems to elude me as well.

Apa nak buat...tak dapat tidur semalam, so melayan perasaan saja. Sepanjang aku drive aimlessly, lagu Agnes Monica je menjadi teman aku. If you're feeling the way I'm feeling now... try listening to this song.

Dan Tak Mungkin - AGNES MONICA
Wajahmu, Hatimu, dan tentang dirimu
Selalu kan berada di dalam hatiku

Sejak awal bertemu
Aku tau rasa itu
Namun tak mungkin aku
Untuk memilihmu

Dan Tak mungkin untukku
Tuk menggapai cintamu
Walau rasa di hati
Ingin memilikimu

Cinta harus berkorban
Walau harus menunggu selamanya
Ku tau..
Kau bukan untukku

Sejak awal bertemu
Aku tau rasa itu
Namun tak mungkin aku
Untuk memilihmu

Tuk menggapai cintamu

Walau rasa di hati
Ingin memilikimu

Cinta harus berkorban
Walau harus menunggu selamanya
Ku tau..
Kau bukan untukku

Dalam segala kesedihan, and just wanting to be alone, I got an SMS.
The message daripada seorang kawan berbunyi, "help... the slaughtering of gubra has begun... :-("

The message was from Yasmin, and aku bertambah sedih bila baca SMS dia. I mean, here I am wallowing in my problems... and feeling so sorry for myself, and ada orang lain yang menghadapi masaalah just because their intention was to spread a little love to everyone around them.

I hate this crap.... it's just not fair. The whole thing played about Nani's speech which was totally taken out of context... the criticisms over Gubra. Come on lah.. grow up!

Sampai bila industri filem negara kita ni nak layan filem cintan atau effects murahan lagi?

Apparently a lot of idiots think a long time more because masa Festival Filem Malaysia aku sendiri terdengar ada ler orang industri muka tak malu, berangan mengutuk Gubra kata tak layah tuh... tak layak ni. Bloody effing assholes!

Then make better movies lah kalao rasa standard filem cam Gubra not good enough.

Whatever is said, Yasmin's films are touching works of art that reflects the true Malaysian spirit. The first real Malay movie my 60 something sat through, and my mom applauded in the end complimenting how lovely local movies are and that she didn't realise, was Sepet.

So I think that that's the magic of Yasmin's work... that she can touch people.

I replied, and felt more depressed than ever.

Spent the remainder of the night (hard to say remainder sebab time tu dah subuh pun), trying to sleep but I couldn't.

It's sad... but so often, people forget that's what the movies are about. The magic of them. Not the profits or the so-called blockbuster efforts. Business is business, but you don't knock something just because it gets critical acclaim deservedly and you didn't because you put a piece of crap out and expect it to be praised to Kingdom come.

Geram...

I am just feeling ultra low. Lower than low.

So much hate...

Aku blank out my mind to finish my work... yang sangkur separuh jalan sebab Datuk Shah Rezza ada event, so kena tunggu dia call balik untuk final details for my story.

Tension punya tension, I thought updating my blog would help ease my flood of swirling thoughts that are slowly taking over my mind.

Made an order out for some candy, maybe that'll help ease the pain.

Arghh!!!

Need time off.

Thought back pasal the topic I've been busy with the whole week (have for the past months and probably for the next few), which is Siti's wedding.

Walaupun orang cakap macam-macam pasal pilihan dia in Datuk K, honestly I couldn't give a flying freak about her choice.

It's her life. If he makes her happy, then perlu ke sesiapa nak cakap apa-apa.

It's practically impossible to find love... and for that object of your affections to want to spend their lives waking up the next morning next to you, with morning breath and all, and still be in total awe of you... is something most people can only dream... and hope for.

Like me.

So Siti... congratulations on your wedding soon.

I do wish you all the best... and semoga bahagia ke anak cucu cicit etc.

Whatever people say.... finding someone you want to be with is something amazing... and no one can take that away from you. I say that because I wouldn't even wish loneliness on my worst enemy...

Ini pic dari sesi beramah mesra semalam kat Sri Pentas. Thanks pada Min, Yus, Shafique and gang kat TV3.

I think they do look so in love... and perhaps that's all that's important at the end of the day... not even horse carriages or million Ringgit weddings (kalau sampai angka tu) matter...if the person you're with is not the right one.

Aku masih ada kerja nak sambung and lot of other pictures to share, so tell you guys what... I'll update the rest of the photos later. In fact, banyak sangat nak letak tapi tak sempat.

Of course nak gak letak pics of the invitation kat sini so you guys can see how it looks like. Mind you, aku dapat jemputan sebagai media. Ada lah orang tu mendapat jemputan sebagai VVIP. Manakala mungkin ada yang masih lum terima tapi pasti merayu, kalau tak tengok kat rumah saja.

Kawan-kawan artis pun ramai telah mendapat jemputan mereka sebagai VIP yang berwarna silver.

Kalau nak tengok gambar invitation yang lebih jelas lagi, sila ke sini untuk close up shots lain.

Gambar kedua kad jemputan. The pink one is for the akad nikah dan yang putih ialah untuk majlis reception kat KL Convention Centre. Seperti di atas yang embossed in silver 'SK' with side writings of Siti and Khalid, kad jemputan untuk reception is embossed on the box, and also on the inner card with 'SK' but this time written Khalid & Siti Nurhaliza. Dalam kedua invitation, ada separate 'kad masuk' untuk memastikan kesahihan invitation. Penerima kena RSVP, dan diberitahu setiap tempat duduk akan ada nama... so takyah ler print invite sendiri ek.

Ok ler... sambung keja sat....really want to get out of this place fast.

Cadang nak drive far, far away tonight. Don't know where yet.

Anyway, apapun, since I'll be in the office until later tonight, sempat ler catch Ejen 016,

Episod malam ni ada cameo dari my fave actress (prefer her over Fasha Sandha anyday), which is Fazura!

Yeah yeah.... !!!

Not sure what her role will be, but worth checking out. Jangan lupa, TV3 at 9.30pm malam ni.

TV seems to be my only life at the moment... so here's celebrating being a couch potato.

Gawd... my life sucks...

I really need to leave this place soon.

Well, at least nak gi jalan-jalan ke Thailand soon. And hopefully Jakarta again by later part of this year.
And maybe I can look forward to that holiday in Cherating for four days three nights.

But somehow I think I'm just going to get more depressed about not able to go to any place with that special someone.

Life sucks...

PS - Check previous postings untuk more pics yang aku da rajinkan diri letak. Have these extra pics yang membuat aku tergelak sorang. Ni baju si Zack beli kat Siam tuk RM10. Amik ko... nak beli t-shirt murah pun, check ler spelling dulu... kan da malu sendiri (gelak tahap gaban punya evil). Bagi mereka yang tak sedar ada kesilapan spelling tu, in the first pic it's supposed to be 'Von Dutch' and the second is supposed to read 'high performance' (merasalah fail spelling)

And on the topic of silly pictures taken, tapi tak pernah shared, just to lift my own stinking mood...here's another one taken from the box of Juan punya M.Mobile special edition Mawi yang dia menang tu (merasalah dah amik pic ngan Mawi masa kat bilik air time Festival Filem Malaysia untuk jadikan wallpaper).Ever watched the Coneheads?

I try laughing... tapi somehow nothing seems funny today.

Walimatulurus

Letih sungguh.

Pala pening dan berdenyut kelam kabut abihkan kerja tadi.

Tengok lah semua front page esok... cita pasal Siti dan Datuk K.

Apapun... pada Siti... finally dapat gak I wish you congratulations face to face.
I mean it.

Jemputan ke majlis perkahwinan Siti dah pun dalam tangan, minus RSVP, sebab on the spot da isi dan confirm kehadiran untuk majlis.

Esok je update... malam ni nak gi dinner kat rumah Hatta and gang sebab meka ramai-ramai masak (wat kenduri kot).

Malam ni... ada lak surprise (takleh announce skang). Nanti bila aku dapat clearance aku cakap sini ek.

Pecemar budaya?? Opah ko!

Ok... after all the photos for the last entry yang long overdue, ni posting terbaru. Aku type sekali je, malas nak spell check ke haper, because I want to write the many thoughts that pour out as fast as I can so as not to lose the flow of what I'm thinking.

Sebelum apa-apa, I want to wish Yasmin Ahmad, and team Gubra for their win at the Festival Filem Malaysia ke-19. Mai kita celebrate sikit dulu ek...

Then there's also congratulations to Nani sebab menang the Best Actress award. You deserve it gurl! Formally, tahniah ler sebab Gubra berjaya bring home trophies for Best Poster, Best Screenplay and also... no surprises here... Best Film!

Aku bengang sikit terlepas editing dan lighting because I thought Gubra technically was quite a superior film, even in those aspects... tapi nak cakap apa kan... jury decide.

Tapi aku paling sakit hati, Yasmin tak dapat Best Director. Aku sakit telinga lak bila dengar ada ler film fraternity bitching about how Gubra tak patut menang etc. Perhal laa orang kita ni. Filem camtuh orang leh appreciate, korang nak kutuk teman seperjuangan dan hasilnya.

Camna nak maju lak? Asik nak harap filem cintan... konon aksi lasak tak menjadi... big names je... grow up!
Not everyone wants to see a popcorn movie that is going to be a second rated effort.

But I think FFM terlampau sangat snub Yasmin. Dua tahun berturut-turut filem dia memenangi Best Picture, tapi Best Director. Kali ni pada Shuhaimi Baba for Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam 2 (the most overrated movie di Malaya). Ada ler sorang ni tengah komen kat wartawan kata, "Shumi layak menang because tak senang nak handle cast lebih seratus orang, and on such a big budget production too!"

Hah?

Pala hangguk ko!

Politics... it's there is every facet of Malaysian art, and I think it simply sucks. Apapun, Yasmin was so cool about it bila aku meroyan tak puas ati (aku lak lebih).

"It's ok la sayang..."

Tu je rilek punya jawapan. She is so cool.

Even during the event, masa dia tengah judging the short films competition (betul kan kak Min? In Sentul?), berbalas SMS ngan dia, aku lak emo lebih sebab nak Gubra menang... dia lak maintain je...ihik)

Post party, dok ngan dia bual sana sini celah dia di interview pelbagai. I look at Yasmin very differently each time I meet her, because each time, I find something beautiful about her character and personality.Kalao korang nak tau vision dia, then hop over to her blog... just CLICK HERE!.

She just posted up the poster for Mukhsin, so here it is!

Selain daripada Nani, I also have to congatulate another blogger and a friend, sebab menang kat FFM 19. Sapa lagik kalau bukan Afdlin Shauki kan?

Afdlin won Best Actor... jangan lupa Baik Punya Cilok got Best Story. Buli Balik won Hans Best Supporting Actor. Kira Afdlin too had a good night ler.

So here's my tribute to you, dude (pic ngan Nani sebab dia comel sangat, I just want her posted all over my blog)

Moving on.Well, not really... just a little bit about Nani. Ramai bengang sebab speech dia, termasuk erm... well... important people.

For me... all I can say is.. grow up la people. Apa dia cakap tuh yang salah sangat.

"I sound stupid if I speak in Malay".

Is that the offensive statement? Well, first of all, try risik background Leya dan Nani and the family. Mereka ni 100% Melayu ke? Get the answer then come back and bitch if you have to.

She just meant, yang dia tak selesa nak berbahasa Melayu dalam thank you speech dia... kalao tak melalut kang, and time tu kan da warning pendekkan acceptance speech. At such an important moment, wouldn't you make sure you said what you need to say just right kan?

Or was it the statement kalao camni filem pencemar budaya, let's do it more?

That was a sarcastic remark by Nani towards critics who labeled Gubra as just that. Ingat tak serangan masa time Fenomena Seni, program haprak tuh?

I think it was a snide remark at the shallow idiots who judge Gubra sebagai pecemar budaya and I salute Nani for that statement.

Big up to Nani!!!

One thing crossed my mind time dia cakap tuh. Teringat time orang kutuk kata Gubra ni pencemar budaya. Well, Gubra is one of the most realistic potrayal of multi-religious, multi-cultural Malaysia. And when seseorang leh beranggapan, melihat budaya orang, bangsa, lain, interwoven with others to tell a story, which is not too different from reality around us, is that cultural pollution?

Please lah...shallow! Baik ko kata Remp-It ke Castello lagik pencemar budaya. How about Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam? I don't see too many white-garbed scary bitches (except a couple of horribly dressed tarts masa FFM) bouncing around... do you? Promotion of such wayward beliefs tak lak di judged. Sheesh.

If what I say sounds extreme, it's simply because of the anger I feel when people try and say that their voice represents a view that is righteous, or majority.

At the end of the bloody day, it's just freaking entertainment - so lay off.

Ok... now that I'm done with that little bit of ranting, sambung balik cita from the start (I'll get back to FFM in a while).

So actually, last Tuesday night, singgah ler pas keja kat Astro nak drop by Muzik@Ria tuk set bebudak finalist. Biasa je sebenarnya... nak siapkan interview sebab ada sorang lagi lum settle. Biasalah, time bebudak Akademi Fantasia ni popular, glamer, ramai nak kerumun.

I prefer to be laid back je. Lantak ler orang lain nak wat per (biasa ler excitement of the moment tak penah dapat peluang, ada yang tak paham terus professionalism kan?)
So we arrived late... Juan ikut sekali.

Kami dari Maestro actually sebab ada urusan... time tu keluarga Maestro Records dan pun beransur pulang, tapi sebab Ady Maestro ada, kami lepak sekali.

Of course Marsha and Felix were there too, so sempat catch up ler and ngumpat pasal AF4....

Meka baru abih shooting time tu, pas meka had dinner, kena rush lak sebab Felix ada lak benda kat RTM.

We sampai Astro...hung outside the studio, until midway then entered. Mak ai.... mana fan club lain? Nampak the studio audience ni kelab peminat Farhan dan Haziq je?

Eh eh... ada geng blog readers dari blog aku pun ada (you know who you are ... especially you Dora!)

Kita lepak ngumpat je disebalik kamera, sebab sibuk carut mamat 'Awie'. Alah...mamat yang selalu ada je kat Muzik @ Ria. You know, that idiot in a goatee yang selalu gila glam nak enter frame je.

Well, memula aku tak perasan dia. Aku dok ngan Wan dari Maestro dan berbisik pasal urusan kerja sikit. Pastu, aku terperasan lak mamat dok sebelah Wan ni cam familiar.

Last-last aku realise mamat tuh. Aku tatau ler dia lambat ke, kena ban ke, tapi meka tak bagik dia dok depan seperti biasa (thank God!)

Sampai abih.... member pun tension je ler tak senang duduk! Tambah agik, tetiba tuk minggu tu, dia siap pakai suit pelbagai. Konon stylo Milo ler. Nak gelak aku rasa....tahan je.

Last-last, bila credits nak roll, si Farhan nyanyi, dia mintak izin nak masuk nari sekali, kena halang bebudak set. Nak gelak aku. Aiyo!!! Very the thick skin! Dia ni tak sedau ke orang carut dia?

Rupanya memang dia jenis tak sedar pun. Sebab selepas habis, one of his friends who was in the audience dok layan rintihan dia.

Ni sedutan dialog apa yang disembangkan... aku tangkap sebab dok sebelah dia tanpa Wan ada, gi jaga bebudak dari kena serbu.

'Awie' - "Meka tak bagi aku masuk...apalah"
Kawan - "Alah...tengok lah baju ko. Mana taknya. Ko ni..."
'Awie' - "Kenapa lak??!!!"
Kawan - "Yerlah... malu je ko pakai camtuh!" (dalam nada lebih lembut, kawan tu bisik "Over")
'Awie' - "Apa lak?!!! (suara tak puas hati) Ok apa! Aku pakai sebab istimewa aku nak wat surprise!"

Mak ai...mamat ni feeling selebriti rupanya. Merasa sell-a-burit!!!! Seriously... weirdos like this still exist??!!!

Sabau jer lah.

Pas da layan peminat semua (aku malas nak dekat... biau bebudak tegur aku... kang ada fanatik lak kata aku gedik nak layan star kan?), bebudak tu di bawa keluar oleh Wan.

Yang tegur aku first, Farhan. Then Velvet, Faizal, Haziq and Lotter.

Lotter nampak letih. Time tunggu Wan, aku, dia, Velvet dan Farhan as well as Juan sempat catch up.

Aku banyak layan Velvet dan Farhan sebab aku rasa comfortable with them. And when Farhan gerak sebab uncle dia jemput bila aku da abih interview, aku layan Velvet. Slowly (masa tu Lotter pun da gerak), tinggal Velvet, Faizal dan Haziq je.

Faizal buka mulut tetiba mintak nombor, so aku pun bagi lah. Jangan lak ada yang kata aku meminta. Sekali ngan Haziq and Velvet.

So, just FYI - I never asked for anyone's number (gelak evil sat).

Time nak jalan kuar, Juan layan sok sek ngan Haziq, Wan ngan Velvet, so Faizal peluk aku and sembang as we walked to the car.

Ok ler... dia banyak cita tuh ni...

Fast forward, Wednesday, I realised I was feeling funny. Terus tak jadi masuk keja. Thursday lak teruk sikit, selsema, ngan mata berair, ngan demam sikit-sikit.

Tapi ada ler penawar bila tiba-tiba seorang finalist call aku pukul 1.32am. Merasalah statement!!!

Matilah Fiebie menjadi saksi kerana masa tuh lepak ramai-ramai.

La la la... no comment!!!!

Thursday night, ada Media Appreciate Nite tuk Akademi Fantasia 4.

Aku sebab tak sihat agi, mula-mula ingat tanak gi.

Last-last, sebab dendam kesumat (merasalah competition!) terus hadirkan diri. Gi with Juan, Fiebie as well as Wanie and Fahmee.

The result?

Aku dapat first place. Woohoo!!!

Four days three night, full board at Cherating worth RM1,500! Happy banget!!!

Rudy dari Harian Metro dapat tempat kedua (TV 29 inci) and Juan dapat tempat ketiga di mana hadiahnya, M-Mobile, special edition Mawi (tahan gelak sat).

Dalam tak sihat, spent some time more with Farhan... a little with each and every one of them.

Yerlah...seperti mana da cakap ngan corporate communication department Astro, takyah ler ada pihak luar yang menyibuk time function tuk kami ni.

Tiba-tiba, ada ler penyibuk-penyibuk yang nak hadirkan diri pose muka tak cantik kat sana. Lantak ko ler labu....some people tak malu dan tak sedar taraf kuli nak menyibuk.

Still, it didn't ruin the night, though I have to say, some people were lucky to have escaped having a shoe in their left nostril.

Time competition da over... makan da over... dengar lak sora merdu dari tingkat atas, where ada live band perform. Cam familiar je sora dia. Mula-mula ingat CD, then ingat vocalist house band meletup!.

After three songs ke four songs (tak ingat), aku pun panggil Fiebie and Co to join me upstairs sebab seperti diagak... Farhan tengah nyanyi. She did three more songs and wow-ed everyone.

Pastu Velvet pun volunteer nyanyi. Yes, volunteer is the word, sebab malam tu pas abih evet, gayut ngan Farhan on the phone, I found out it wasn't planned, and no one told her to sing. That's what you call passion!

Dengar malam tu, Diddy pun nak nyanyi, tapi segan. Hish... perlu ke dik oi!
And then Haziq pun ada bisik ngan aku, "Nak nyanyi pun lah.... tapi ada ke lagu-lagu tuk aku".
Mmmm... good observation. Kesian lak.... aku hanya mampu balas, kalau nak, gi tanya house band, apa repertoire meka, mana tau... kan?

An hour or two more...with swollen feet, our group of five waved, hugged and kissed goodbye to everyone and mde a move for supper.

The next night we had another 'party'. Pementasan Suzie Wong ler katanya....(tahniah Wanie sebab menang acara marathon 12 jam!) Aiyo... sampai siang semua berjaga! Party kaw kaw punya ngan gelak dari malam sampai siang.

Saturday a slight bore as followed Vernon, abang Badrul and Nikki yang judging a karaoke competition which was horrible beynd belief. Oh well...namanya pun karaoke da.

Lepak like normal, then next day FFM, aku sampai pun da 8.20pm kat PWTC. Got a place along with some editors and watched half the show sebelum tak larat (takut tertidur) moved in and out for a smoke non-stop.

I think the event was such a bad job. Lighting and stage design was so RTM.

Skrip pulak busuk!!!! And AC's stupid ad-libs didn't help much. Ada ke time ada Tamil song tuh dia kata, "Lagu Hindu tadi..."

Bangap ke haper mamat ni don't know the difference between religion and language?

Blah blah blah... shows were horrible, with the best being mediocre. Takyah ulas ler. Aku suka tengok Diddy and geng semua kuar, tapi aku rasa bodoh tul seleksi lagu.

Ning was amazing... Faizal was ok considering it was his first major awards show performance, aku rasa dia lum ready.

But awmigawdd... aku kena puji ni. Aku suka Mawi punya performance with the theme song from Persona Non Grata, Hanya Untukmu. But what the hell was Aidil on the piano for?

Aiyak... nampaknya AF3 ni breed yang erm... oh never mind. But it was irritating that he was tinkling on and on without the song beginning because I think he thought it was a solo show.

Sampai ending pun feeling nak solo (geng Sham Kamikaze ler nih).
Belah la.... only on an Astro production, would they allow an AF3 punya non-performer to perform in an indulgent solo attempt.

Malas ulas the show further...korang sendiri nampak kan? Termasuk bab Misha Omar rush dari office tak sempat tukao baju tuk perform Ku Seru kan?

Kalau yang tak dapat nonton sebab it was only on Astro, all I can say is tak rugi korang.

The post party was relaxed, even though everyone seemed to have an invitation. I spent most of the time with Yasmin, Zahid, Faizal... sapa agik ek... selain kengkawan sendiri... mmm... Alam (my former boss, though lepak only mencarut sebelum balik)... Pierre Andre (he's the sweetest guy around).

Lain cam ngumpat light-light je. Seronok lagi dok diam-diam tengah layan ngumpat sapa pakai apa (which was mostly horrendous repeats from sponsors yang penah bagi baju kat orang lain)

Fast forward... to today.

Banyak keja lagi nak abih... amik time off nak update blog sikit sebelum sambung. Esok nak ke sesi beramah mesra with Siti and Datuk K.

Well... kalao dapat jemputan esok gak, aku scan letak sini ek? Jangan korang scan wat kad sendiri da (mati laaa Fiebie punya idea - this type usually dia punya)

Oh, sebelum mengundur, ni ada berita menarik bagi meka yang dalam Aiman FC.

Dapat call earlier today (aku second kan that you called? - bangga nih!) from abang Badrul yang ceritakan yang iklan 'Aiman Tak Kisah' starring Aiman, hasil keja abang Badrul (the iklan... I mean), dapat finalist dalam pertandingan entah haper kat New York!

Merasalah!

Aku pun tumpang bangga hasil kerja cam iklan pesan masyarakat cam 'Aiman Tak Kisah' leh dapat recognition camtuh. Aku tak tanya details competition, sebab tanak nanti kena tunggu balik New York nak cita... so kalao nak tau apa perkembagan, check out abang Badrul punya blog.

Okler...esok je update apa yang terlepas fikiran ku yang aku nak kongsi, and more on tomorrow and how it was.

PS Part I - Dalam gembira ada kesedihan. My uncle passed away on Sunday suddenly. Aku tak close sangat ngan dia pun... but I suddenly seem tobe surrounded by death.

PS Part II - Happy birthday to my dearest sister Joyce!!! Love you babe!! No one could ask for a better sister than what you've been to me through the years. You know whatever happens, I'll be there for you... just like you've been there for me! Yes... I know you read my blog, luv.... as drama queen as it is.

Buntu...

Ampun seribu ampun kepada semua yang mengharap aku bersuara seminggu ni, tapi I have been silent. The truth is... selain penyakit malas update blog, aku demam minggu lepas. Teruk gak ler struck down by slight fever dan selsema and all kan.

And then in the later part of the week, dalam nak recover, I spent a lot of time with friends who showed me the best time.

So it was kind of like time off for me.

There is actually so much I have to update, dari Muzik@Ria minggu lepas and media night bersama bebudak, not just finalists but also the whole she-bang.

And then of course ada ulasan Festival Filem Malaysia... well not really ulasan ler, but ada ler carutan pasal tuh.

So kalau aku postpone sikit lagi korang tak marah kan? Bukan apa... ada sikit kerja lagi nak siap sebelum esok.

Tomorrow I have kind of a hectic day sebab ada 'minum petang dan sesi beramah mesra' bersama Siti Nurhaliza dan Datuk Khalid njuran Siti Nurhaliza Productions sekali ngan TV3 untuk editors.

Aku akan temani my boss gi sekali. Kami di bagitau esok juga kami akan diberi jemputan ke majlis Siti, so mulai besok je, hectic gila la sampai selesai dan selamat meka berdua berumahtangga.

What to do... ni la musim-musim sibuk.

Apapun, I promise to u pdate everything by TONIGHT... AND esok pun pasal hasil perjumpaan para media bersama Siti dan Datuk K.

So chill ok, guys?

Nak sambung keja dulu ek...

Pecemar budaya?? Opah ko!

Ok... after all the photos for the last entry yang long overdue, ni posting terbaru. Aku type sekali je, malas nak spell check ke haper, because I want to write the many thoughts that pour out as fast as I can so as not to lose the flow of what I'm thinking.

Sebelum apa-apa, I want to wish Yasmin Ahmad, and team Gubra for their win at the Festival Filem Malaysia ke-19. Mai kita celebrate sikit dulu ek...

Then there's also congratulations to Nani sebab menang the Best Actress award. You deserve it gurl! Formally, tahniah ler sebab Gubra berjaya bring home trophies for Best Poster, Best Screenplay and also... no surprises here... Best Film!

Aku bengang sikit terlepas editing dan lighting because I thought Gubra technically was quite a superior film, even in those aspects... tapi nak cakap apa kan... jury decide.

Tapi aku paling sakit hati, Yasmin tak dapat Best Director. Aku sakit telinga lak bila dengar ada ler film fraternity bitching about how Gubra tak patut menang etc. Perhal laa orang kita ni. Filem camtuh orang leh appreciate, korang nak kutuk teman seperjuangan dan hasilnya.

Camna nak maju lak? Asik nak harap filem cintan... konon aksi lasak tak menjadi... big names je... grow up!

Not everyone wants to see a popcorn movie that is going to be a second rated effort.

But I think FFM terlampau sangat snub Yasmin. Dua tahun berturut-turut filem dia memenangi Best Picture, tapi Best Director. Kali ni pada Shuhaimi Baba for Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam 2 (the most overrated movie di Malaya). Ada ler sorang ni tengah komen kat wartawan kata,

"Shumi layak menang because tak senang nak handle cast lebih seratus orang, and on such a big budget production too!"

Hah?

Pala hangguk ko!

Politics... it's there is every facet of Malaysian art, and I think it simply sucks. Apapun, Yasmin was so cool about it bila aku meroyan tak puas ati (aku lak lebih).

"It's ok la sayang..."

Tu je rilek punya jawapan. She is so cool.

Even during the event, masa dia tengah judging the short films competition (betul kan kak Min? In Sentul?), berbalas SMS ngan dia, aku lak emo lebih sebab nak Gubra menang... dia lak maintain je...ihik)

Post party, dok ngan dia bual sana sini celah dia di interview pelbagai. I look at Yasmin very differently each time I meet her, because each time, I find something beautiful about her character and personality.Kalao korang nak tau vision dia, then hop over to her blog... just CLICK HERE!.

She just posted up the poster for Mukhsin, so here it is!

Selain daripada Nani, I also have to congatulate another blogger and a friend, sebab menang kat FFM 19. Sapa lagik kalau bukan Afdlin Shauki kan?

Afdlin won Best Actor... jangan lupa Baik Punya Cilok got Best Story. Buli Balik won Hans Best Supporting Actor. Kira Afdlin too had a good night ler.

So here's my tribute to you, dude (pic ngan Nani sebab dia comel sangat, I just want her posted all over my blog)

Moving on.Well, not really... just a little bit about Nani. Ramai bengang sebab speech dia, termasuk erm... well... important people.

For me... all I can say is.. grow up la people. Apa dia cakap tuh yang salah sangat.
"I sound stupid if I speak in Malay".

She just meant, yang dia tak selesa nak berbahasa Melayu dalam thank you speech dia... kalao tak melalut kang, and time tu kan da warning pendekkan acceptance speech. At such an important moment, wouldn't you make sure you said what you need to say just right kan?

One thing crossed my mind time dia cakap tuh. Teringat time orang kutuk kata Gubra ni pencemar budaya. Well, Gubra is one of the most realistic potrayal of multi-religious, multi-cultural Malaysia. And when seseorang leh beranggapan, melihat budaya orang, bangsa, lain, interwoven with others to tell a story, which is not too different from reality around us, is that cultural pollution?

Please lah...shallow! Baik ko kata Remp-It ke Castello lagik pencemar budaya. How about Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam? I don't see too many white-garbed scary bitches (except a couple of horribly dressed tarts masa FFM) bouncing around... do you? Promotion of such wayward beliefs tak lak di judged. Sheesh.

The result?

Aku dapat first place. Woohoo!!!

Four days three night, full board at Cherating worth RM1,500! Happy banget!!!

Rudy dari Harian Metro dapat tempat kedua (TV 29 inci) and Juan dapat tempat ketiga di mana hadiahnya, M-Mobile, special edition Mawi (tahan gelak sat).

Ning was amazing... Faizal was ok considering it was his first major awards show performance, aku rasa dia lum ready.

Aiyak... nampaknya AF3 ni breed yang erm... oh never mind. But it was irritating that he was tinkling on and on without the song beginning because I think he thought it was a solo show.

Sampai ending pun feeling nak solo (geng Sham Kamikaze ler nih).

Belah la.... only on an Astro production, would they allow an AF3 punya non-performer to perform in an indulgent solo attempt.

Malas ulas the show further...korang sendiri nampak kan? Termasuk bab Misha Omar rush dari office tak sempat tukao baju tuk perform Ku Seru kan?

Kalau yang tak dapat nonton sebab it was only on Astro, all I can say is tak rugi korang.

The post party was relaxed, even though everyone seemed to have an invitation. I spent most of the time with Yasmin, Zahid, Faizal... sapa agik ek... selain kengkawan sendiri... mmm... Alam (my former boss, though lepak only mencarut sebelum balik)... Pierre Andre (he's the sweetest guy around).

Lain cam ngumpat light-light je. Seronok lagi dok diam-diam tengah layan ngumpat sapa pakai apa (which was mostly horrendous repeats from sponsors yang penah bagi baju kat orang lain)

Fast forward... to today.

Banyak keja lagi nak abih... amik time off nak update blog sikit sebelum sambung. Esok nak ke sesi beramah mesra with Siti and Datuk K.

Well... kalao dapat jemputan esok gak, aku scan letak sini ek? Jangan korang scan wat kad sendiri da (mati laaa Fiebie punya idea - this type usually dia punya)

Oh, sebelum mengundur, ni ada berita menarik bagi meka yang dalam Aiman FC.
Dapat call earlier today (aku second kan that you called? - bangga nih!) from abang Badrul yang ceritakan yang iklan 'Aiman Tak Kisah' starring Aiman, hasil keja abang Badrul (the iklan... I mean), dapat finalist dalam pertandingan entah haper kat New York!

Merasalah!

Aku pun tumpang bangga hasil kerja cam iklan pesan masyarakat cam 'Aiman Tak Kisah' leh dapat recognition camtuh. Aku tak tanya details competition, sebab tanak nanti kena tunggu balik New York nak cita... so kalao nak tau apa perkembagan, check out abang Badrul punya blog.

Okler...esok je update apa yang terlepas fikiran ku yang aku nak kongsi, and more on tomorrow and how it was.

PS Part I - Dalam gembira ada kesedihan. My uncle passed away on Sunday suddenly. Aku tak close sangat ngan dia pun... but I suddenly seem tobe surrounded by death.

PS Part II - Happy birthday to my dearest sister Joyce!!! Love you babe!! No one could ask for a better sister than what you've been to me through the years. You know whatever happens, I'll be there for you... just like you've been there for me! Yes... I know you read my blog, luv.... as drama queen as it is.

The recap!

Aku sebenarnya malas nak blog. Cam kena penyakit lak malas sejak balik dari Jakarta ni nak blog pun tak larat.

Bukan apa, but I just think that I really would love to take a break fom blogging. Unlike some people, blogging for me is supposed to be fun... spontaneous and just luahan perasan sepenuhnya.

Tapi tak tahu lah kan... sebab untuk ada warga cyberspace ni, blog jadi pengganti kerja kan...
Mmm... aku start mana ek?

Indulge me.

Aku start dari last posting. Aku memang last entry aku tak dapat since then nak tengok Diari. Pergi Jakarta pun, harapkan blog kawan-kawan punya blog je to find out dalam beberapa hari tu untuk tahu what's going on back home.

Tapi tu pun untuk memenuhi kehendak kerja. Bukan nak tahu sangat pun kalao secara peribadi, sebab Diari doesn't hold anything for me at all.

Jakarta was fun!!!

Dua setengah tahun selepas tak jejak sana.... banyak kenangan membanjiri my thoughts the moment we landed at Soekarno Hatta.

It was amazing... the rush, the feeling. Almost like being home.

That was where I met someone special two and a half years ago.

Kami sampai lewat sikit, no thanks to the Immigration. Rombongan kami ramai, so kena masuk opis meka dulu... tambah agik passport aku tinggal dalam lima bulan lebih je (kalau ikut syarat kena at least six months).

Alasan sebenarnya, sebab meka tengok big group saja nak kecoh mintak ongkosnya.

Last-last mamat jaga group kami kena bayar RM400 nak settle. Bukan ada apa pun... alasan nak kaco sehingga bayar. Setan...

We spent hours in the bus sebab mancet (traffic jam) before we arrived at this back alley kind of place.

Rombongan kami (kengkawan media dan TV3, ngan mentors in Nurul, Hazami, Yassin, as well as Azmeer and a few more) panik seketika sebab tempat meka bak cam celah kampung je.

Sampai electric cables semua overhanging orang kampung kena tolong amik galah tongkatkan so our bus can go through... where the **** were we??? Tu je running through our minds... nervous gila semua.

Last-last tengok sampai this tempat called Sampan Bujana Sentra (JalanTeuku Cikditiro II No.1, Jakarta, 10350 021-392 3930, 324 617 kalao korang nak try). The food was nothing too unusual. Nak kata sedap.. sedap kot. Time tu kebuluran so didn't really pay much attention to traditions and cultures da bab cuisine. Tau isi perut je.

Bebudak proteges semua sampai... baik gak bebudak ni.

Watched the traditional performance put on by the in-house performers, including an audience performance pakai angklung.

Caranya meka labelkan setiap angklung with a number. They hand many out pada the diners in the restaurant, and then they come up with a music sheet onstage, you play following by the numbers. Cool!

Worked up a sweat gak kami semua main angklung. Daripada horror tempat tuh, turns out it was the kind of place that is a hidden treasure. No regrets ler kiranya gi sana sebelum sempat check-in and mandi.

Pastu headed straight for the hotel. Kami dok kat Sari Pan Pacific Jakarta (masa ngan dia dulu dok Hotel Mulia Senayan - satu hotel ngan Mariah Carey sebab time gi tuh nak tengok konsert dia sana). I found out Starbucks 24 jam yang aku penah pegi (nostalgia agik) kat bawah hotel jer. Kira turun jalan sikit da sampai.

So pas freshen up, went to grab a cuppa, jalan sikit nearby and went back to the room and KO (sempat tengok Rockstar : Supernova)

Esoknya bangun awal, tunggu ada bangsa lambat siap, then gerak to Trans TV, Sana kami ada press conference untuk Mentor, versi Indonesia yang dipanggil Bintang Cari Bintang. Leh tahan gak mentor-mentor meka.... Glenn Fredly, Yuni Shara, Audy, Inul... not bad ler. Layan one of their episode, kebetulan minggu tuh, anak didik Glenn, kumpulan Pasto hampir tersingkir, but surprise surprise no elimination so meka selamat another week.

Sempat jumpa Inul dan Audy, tapi yang paling mesra tegur aku, si Yuni Shara. Dia mesra je tegur, time tuh dia dok sebelah Nurul right behind me.

Tengok-tengok, anak didik dia, Matthew yang favourite dalam competition. Ramai gila peminat!

We left the station quite late, gerak gi grab a bite kat California Pizza Kitchen nearby to grab a bite sebab memasing hungry. Rupanya entourage TV3 semua da kat sana termasuk Datuk Farid and Co. We were later joined by geng proteges from Bintang Cari Bintang. Rupanya on both sides ada birthday, so berlawanan ler nak nyanyi birthday song. Merasalah Malaysians take harmony (gelak evilest!)

Yang aku terharu, bebudak protege Bintang Cari Bintang semua nyanyi in tribute to Amy Search lagu Isabella! Merasalah lagu tuh da almost 17 years old, most of them would have been toddlers time lagu tuh keluar.

It was amazing they actually sang the whole song tanpa salah lirik! Wow.... sapa kata lagu Malaysia takleh jual? Cuma tahap skang, kami da basi... takde pembaharuan saja.

Abih tu, malam tu ngan rombongan kengkawan (takleh cakap sapa yang gi) menyerbu Hard Rock Jakarta.

Aku tak penah gi lagik, only Planet Hollywood Jakarta je, so seronok gak take a look around, layan band, as well as joget lambak.Merasalah masuk je ada welcoming for the Malaysians, especially Amy Search by the performing band. Amboi... Amy!

Meletup! Kemana saja....

We partied the night away... but didn't stay too late.

A normal night, week night camni bukan ramai orang pun, so we decided to call it quits quite early. Plus semua orang da planning nak balik hotel malam tuh, packing siap as we patut leave early the next morning.

Yerlah... shopping punya pasal.

SO there we were, looking like a bunch of crazy tourists, walking the streets of Jakarta nak balik ke hotel kami.

On the way, just across the road along the side of the hotel, aku decide nak bungkus ler McDonalds sikit nak munch before fo to sleep.

Mak aih...!!!

Amik ko fast food outlets meka nak masuk pun ada metal detector. Actually all public places yang American connection semua ada, aku perasan. Paranoia tul... tapi I suppose it's justified ler with the recent going ons and all.

Tapi akibat the additional security... prices pun cam sial.

Aku punya Happy Meal pun da lebih RM20 lepas conversion.

Balik bilik, melantak as watched TV then called it a night.

Aku sempat bangun awal, breakfast, ngumpat etc, pusing lobi lima ribu kali... ada lagik yang tak turun. Dari call time 9.30am, dekat 11.30 baru nak gerak!!! @#$%^&*!!!!

Habih waktu shopping. Sampai just before 12 at Mangga Dua, and redah until almost 3 petang.

Beli barang-barang sikit, mostly for my mom, and a couple of items for friends. Aku tak beli apapun untuk myself sebab tengah blur carik barang, si Nurul beli tuk aku baju (awww!!!). So sweet!!!!

Tolak tok Soekarno Hatta, rasa sedih. Tidur sebaik je masuk plane sebab malas sedih terkenang the last time I left Jakarta. One thing I have to say though... service MAS skang semakin haus!!! Malas elaborate...

Touchdown, di jemput abang Badrul, Fiebie dan wanita bersora Thor. Pas amik keta kat Bangsar, gerak jumpa meka kat Shah Alam tuk melantak agi.

Then went home to KO after hanging out for a bit!The next day bangun lambat!

Petang pick-up orang gila, rush gi stadium. Sampai je, nampak rombongan bus... memang kami gamble dari Ganu ler.

"Alamak!!!! Harga ikan melambung ler esok!," kata Mak Minah.

Aku tanya kenapa... jawapan dia, "Mana taknya!!! Semua nelayan dah turun dari Terengganu!

Takde yang nak ke laut! Melambung lah harga ikan" katanya sambil gelak jahat.

We were laughing about that - and a few other things as pusing kejap tengok booths fan club yang ada.

The best fan club, aku bagi title kat Farhan FC, sebab meka punya, bayar membership fee, siap ada insurance package termasuk. Uwaaa!!!! Kelas!

Aisey... discovered lak tiket aku Rudy pegang sebab dia collect ngan kak Norizan tuk aku time aku gi Jakarta. Sib baik kak Izan ada, dia bak masuk sekali ngan Norkiah Hanum.

Kami bertiga cup best view punya seats, pastu settle in to carut the show.

What did I think of it?

First of all... setelah pulangnya Akademi Fantasia ke Stadium Putra, I found out, in a smaller venue than last season... it was proof that Akademi Fantasia musim ni HAMBAR!

Buktinya the other time masa AF2 punya final which was held here, it was PACKED!!!! Teringat lagi dibanjiri kaler oren... ngan tompok merah, dan dicelahnya ngan peminat yang bak wisel.
Ini.... sodih!!!! Lemau semacam je... dahler tak fully packed. There was just so many empty spots.

Mood lak low semacam, kecuali time meka tunjuk flashback clips dari musim Akademi Fantasia yang lain. Which tells us what?

Anyway... first and foremost... congratulations to the five finalists, and memasing sebab undian yang diterima, walau apapun kedudukan mereka dalam top five tuh.

Here are my thoughts on the show... bear in mind carutan apa-apa in still in the spirit of Akademi Fantasia punya show ek... and not targeted at them personally (since the show is now over).

Velvet - First of all the arrangement untuk Rembulan was pathetic!!!

Lembab semacam!

It was a potential powerful party opener.
Sebab nak this punchy intro, Rembulan would have been the perfect choice, tapi versi Sham Kamikaze punya arrangement, time pengkebumian je sesuai!

Seriously lembab. It was draggy and just totally, offensively boring and the song became a pale shadow of what it really is. Sadly enough, because of this, persembahan Velvet tak 'malatop' because of Sham's handiwork.

Someone please tell Sham la that guitar solos yang goreng sampai hangus is so 80s, just like his style pakai suar sampai ke pusat.

Horrible!!!

Kini Detiknya, lagu baru Velvet is THE best lagu original for the night, and definitely a radio hit for those with a decent sense of hearing.

Memang membuai... secara vocal, Velvet was not at her best, but she was pretty close as far as I was concerned.

Bab baju, time ni jer yang aku terhorror lak sikit. The cleavage thingie is ok sebab ada slip inside, but kain bawahnya belahan maut. Nampak sampai ke panty line katanya... (golek sat gelak gila)

Entahlah...

Velvet did good, and she should have been in top three, be it atas dasar persembahan malam tu, or the whole season overall.

Haziq - Kalao lagu baru Velvet yang paling malatop, lagu baru Haziq yang paling BUSUK!

Kesian lak dia trying his best for a song yang memang doesn't work.

It was mundane, boring and simply not showing any ability.

Pernah kan dengar lagu, 'Killing me Softly'?

Well in this case, it applies ler.

Memang killing me with boredom!

Aku tak paham tul time meka wat single ni nak dapatkan yang bagik orang tidur.

If that wasn't bad enough, baju daler nampak cam kanak-kanak Ribena ngan kasut putih yang dari jauh nampak ala BM 2000 ke Pallas Jazz je. Entah...

Pastu second tune lak pakai baju, ngan rombongan cik Kiah ala ala nak merebut title kak Ani je!

Vocally he did decent, tapi tetap Tora datang lagi ler midway.

Still, here's hoping that Haziq qill improve and that ada ruang tuk dia dalam industri muzik ni yang bukan saja susah melahirkan artis lelaki berkualiti, tapi more so especially dalam genre irama Malaysia.

Erm... I don't know what his future is going to be, but good luck jer lah.

I have doubts, and for his sake let's prove I'm wrong sebab it is a good thing that ada yang young generation ni minat gak muzik akar umbi ni (sayang lak peminat dia semua warga pencen jer judging from the fan club)

Farhan - Awmigawdddddd... Spain is absolutely, positively, ***** amazing!

Sapa yang tak paham dan kata busuk, ko memang bodoh, bangap, pekak, binatang blah blah blah because it was simply amazing for someone as fresh as Farhan to be able to execute that.

It wasn't flawless, but no one else that night could have done that song.

Period!

Ngan persembahan tuh jer dia da kill the show with her amazing vocals, lum agik lagu Ajai yang lebih trademark Sharon Paul tuh complete the show with her lenggok yang pukul abih competition!

What I do have a problem with is her baju.

Cam dengki je ada pihak dalam Astro ngan dia dari awal.

First pakai baju ala skin colour nampak cam kuda yang dianugerahkan blue ribbon for a horse show ke something like that.

Second lak pakai ala Elmo dari Sesama Street!

Binatang tul la orang wardrobe ni.

Bodoh ke buta ke... segalanya campur dengki?

Sheesh!!!

Apapun, Farhan was the real winner that night.

Big effing deal she came out third, we all know who did best.

Faizal - Aku nak meludah time Faizal wat Hujan.
Don't get me wrong, vocally memang takde masaalah.

He did ok there.

But kepitan dia nak tiru sora Sudirman tuh was just so wrong. Aku rasa cam tengah dok kat Red Box for a special karaoke Sudirman tribute competition je.

Untuk Lihatlah, aku ngaku memang lagu tu sesuai tuh dia dan baru nampakkan dia punya own identity. It's the second original song aku suka pas Velvet punya.

I really think he needs to brush up quite a bit more, and oh, he also needs an image.
Bosan image lepak Central Market punya pakaian dah. Again wardrobe Astro berjaya membuat sorang lagi bakal bintang jadik lawak depan sau negara.

Did he deserve to win?

I don't want to take away his win by saying he did not deserve it.

All I can say is, the real competition starts now.

So here's hoping Faizal proves me wrong and works hard to make something out of himself.

Lotter - I thought lagu Neves Pretty Ugly (bukan Nervous Breakdown seperti kata orang gila) was just a hodge podge of melodies and was pretty weird. Only the chorus was decent, but for me it was forgettable.

In The End was actually quite horrible, and Mamat Kalut yang jadik jury was simply dumb in saying at least Lotter leh bawak sorang.

Hello?

What planet you from la...

He even salah part rap tuh... bukan nak pertikaikan kebolehan Lotter, but please don't call critics that try so hard to be funny when they aren't... and make bloody fools of themselves with their silly comments which take up too much airtime.

Aarghh!!!

Stupid people!!!!

Allergic reaction to stupidity!!!

Can't they get people who know about music and performance dan bukan kroni yang ada kait mengait ngan Astro je?

What thing I can say about Lotter is, apa dia kurang bab vocal, he more than makes up for it in his performance, but his body language still tak nampak fluid, so that's one area he needs to focus on, apart from his singing of course.

Baju? Yawn...

Murah sangat nampaknya...

Pas abih, kami dapat the only 'kejutan' of the night. Iaitu show Prelude rejects. Perlu ke show ni? Angkat tangan sapa yang nak tengok sapa yang terkeluar dan bukan meka yang berjaya masuk? Hah? Wat per sebab meka da perform time AFMASUK? Sebab meka student ma ngok!

Apa? Meka perform lebih elok dari yang terkeluar? Abih wat per tak masukkan meka from the start mengong.

As usual, Astro displays lack of sense by getting the Prelude kids to perform and show up the others that they're better and some sense of injustice was committed in not admitting them.

Seriously, meka susah-susah bayar orang yang konon pros (ikut nama je) in all fields to do the best (konon) for the show, tapi takde hasil langsung....bazir duit je.

Baju aku dengar beli kat Uptown ek? Kesian bebudak tu... di mintak perform depan satu negara...baju pun tak leh sponsor ke Astro?

Susah sangat ke baju-baju buruk yang korang dok selalu pakaikan?

Weird lah... tak paham.

Liya, Jeff, Lynn, please take ni seposen and play the far far ok.

Hazama, Haider, Shaz, Tasha dan Leez, please improve lagi ok supaya you get to make something of yourselves in singing.

Menuju Puncak was kind of funny though sebab pas abih event malam tuh, aku cucuk Corrie sebab dia selalu marah bebudak, tapi nampak sangat dia nari Menuju Puncak pun tak betul.

Banyak slack....terus dia susun jari mintak ampun (takut sebab nampak orang gila sebelah aku yang dok jadik bouncer)

The press conference?

Hah... this was fun.

Fun sebab nama tuk media tapi ramai lak yang MENYIBUK dok nak observe kan.

Bangap!

Fun sebab ada yang dok sibuk nak tunjuk terer tapi kena hentaman kuasa gaban tulip katanya. (merasalah carut diri sendiri)

Sidang akhbar dalam lebih setengah jam tuh panas, dan memang sampai jadik perang lak. Majoriti targetkan Astro sebab KEGAGALAN Akademi Fantasia musim ni, LEMBABNYA tenaga produksi dan bagaimana serba KEKURANGAN idea meka kali ni.

Ni fakta yang tidak boleh dinafikan!

Jumlah AFUNDI musim AF4 - 7.4 million
Jumlah AFUNDI musim AF3 - 10.7 million
Jumlah AFUNDI musim AF2 - 15 million
Jumlah AFUNDI musim AF1 - Hampir 5 juta.

Jumlah AFUNDI musim AF4 (7.4 juta) + Jumlah SMS @15 (1.9 juta) = 9.3 juta
Jumlah AFUNDI musim AF2 (15 juta) + Jumlah SMS @15 (5 juta) = 20 juta

Jumlah AFUNDI diperolehi Faizal pada konsert akhir (34%) = 442,000 undian
Jumlah AFUNDI diperolehi Mawi pada konsert akhir (58%) = 986,000 undian
Jumlah AFUNDI diperolehi Zahid pada konsert akhir (28%) = 742,000 undian.

So adakah Faizal juara?

Doesn't look that way to me.

Especially since, banyak lagik fakta yang tidak didedahkan Astro. Seperti jumlah undian yang diperolehi Lotter ketika AFMASUK yang dipadam untuk minggu akhir.

Ada ura-ura mengatakan AFUNDI Lotter itu saja dapat tumbangkan Faizal abih. Spekulasi atau tidak, yang nyatanya Faizal hanya menang by 6% of the votes which is not much considering Lotter start with 0.

So juara Akademi Fantasia kali ni nak kata pilihan ramai pun... betul ke?

Kalau ikutkan kredibiliti Farhan tetap menjadi pilihan ramai, habih, kalau populariti pun bukan yang menang camna?

Salahkan siapa? Faizal? Peminat fanatik? Astro yang mengaut keuntungan?

You guys decide.

Banyak lagi soal timbul ketika press conference. Harus ler pas ni ada orang Astro yang katakan memacam nak tunjuk konon media ler yang tak baik memacam serang ngan soalan pelbagai.

Problem is kalao dibayar gaji pun, sanggup ke nipu dan menidakkan yang benar dan nyata?

Kan?

Whatever it is soal baju, timbul. Bab tu, bila aku bandingkan baju Farhan ngan Elmo dari Sesama Street, benda tuh dipusing dan aku dikatakan tak hormat pada pelajar.

Panasnya ati!!! Uwaaa salahkan kita mengkritik lak.

Kena seround balik ngan aku.

"Siapa yang tak hormat? Astro yang tak hormat bintang ciptaan sendiri. Esok bebudak ni kuar meka da jadi bintang. Hari ni ko pakaikan meka burok camni, jadikan meka lawak bodoh depan satu negara! Korang (Astro) yang tak hormat meka!"

Korang stuju tak statement aku?

Lum agik bila Elly Harian Metro bising pasal seleksi lagu yang "sakit telinga, sakit hati", meka kata ada panel. Tapi tak dedahkan lak sapa ahli panel (selain kroni producer dan yang kait mengait yang diketahui)

Panas punya panas, Aznil yang banyak selamatkan keadaan tuk Astro (memang salute ler Aznil - jangan tak demand lebih kontrak baru ek - they need you!) change the topic to sesi soal jawab ngan bebudak finalists yang diignore sebab tak narik langsung banding isu panas yang timbul.

Faizal jadik mangsa seterusnya. Hah...katanya memang dia takde lesen. Bak keta tanpa lesen time Tirai tuh. Pasni ada ler ada peminat (yang datang bermacam bentuk) yang kata apa salahnya kan?

Jawab pun tak betul segala sampai Aznil pun sendiri marah, "Faizal, bangun!!!!"

Blur maksima.

But memang bebudak lima orang tuh mesra. Sampai ada yang aku elak pun lari kejar nak bersalaman. Last-last ok ler leh gurau.

Pada mereka yang kata aku tak berani katakan apa aku tulis sini to their face, well, tell me next time you're there to witness it and I'll prove it on the spot ek just like I did malam tu.

Sayang tak sempat sembang ngan Velvet panjang. Lotter yang tetiba jadik paling rapat... aku penah direct kata aku kutuk sora dia sengau and perangai badut dia, but dia amik in good nature. Cool! Dia janji nak improve diri dia, and malam tu dia tanyakan tu ni pasal persemabahan dia. Ada jugak yang nak improve walaupun nak menang hadiah. Bagus...

Farhan lak yang pertama salam aku. Daripada saat aku memperkenalkan diri and we talked time perkenalan 20 orang, Farhan tak penah lupa nak carik aku tiap konsert. She is not a diva like some people say and I am sure she will never berperangai like one.

Faizal? Aku ok ngan dia dari mula, kan pilihan blog aku F&F dari start. Time last three or four weeks aku nyampah perangai dia yang nampak memacam. Sempat sesi basuh light-light tapi ok jer. Hope he realises apa kekurangan dia fast sebab this industry is not for the weak.

Haziq? Mmm... this boy has got some good plans, tapi dari apa yang diceritanya, I don't know how realistic they are.

Well, aku kang ada masa will discuss with them a lot more. Bukan nak glamer ker gatal ke. At least in time, bebudak kuar Akademi kawan ngan aku kenal sapa diri aku sebenar and anggap as kawan sampai bebila. Sampai ari ni, keluarga Fantasia ramai yang masih rapat ngan aku walaupun orang anggap meka tak glamer agik.

Glamer ke tidak... sapa yang menjadi kawan aku terima sedia ada.

Bukan nak kejar, berkepit, menggatal hanya sebab meka jadi tumpuan ramai like some I know.

Abih PC, kami ada jamuan, lepak semeja Umi, Diddy, abang Badrul, Amirul (kejap ada kejap takde - lari sebab kena buli ngan kita) as well as some other friends.

Pusing jumpa Leez, Tasha... seronok lak tunggu Imbasan abih.

Abih lak, sempat layan interview sat agik.

Esok KO sampai tak sempat gi abang Aman punya sanding. Sorry ler bro, tapi nasib baik tak gi gak. Dengar Mawi singgah terus semua fokus kat dia. (terbalik lak)

Petang nak kuar malas lak rasa, so lepak all the way until 8, then only jemput Fiebs untuk lepak sekali konsert Fantasia Mawi. Secara jujurnya aku tak pay attention sagat konsert tu, but ok ler time Mawi and Jamal and all. Kira Mawi banyak improvement ler vocals and performance skills dia.

Tapi highlight tuk aku, time Farhan.

Selepas dibuai sora dia, kami pun gerak gi have a drink, sambung carutan pasal konsert semalamnya, and then balik KO.

Semalam masuk keja tonnes of work. Today another round lak... abih je, including paperwork, amik kesempatan update. Sejam lebih gak ni... mak aiii.. panjang lak aku taip ni. Tak perasan lak.

Eh... aku update esok je ek! With some pics... letihlah jari bengkak da ni asik type!

By the way, sapa stuju nak tubuhkan Aiman FC? Aku rasa aura Aiman lebih kuat.

It is over...

Baru kembali dari Stadium Putra.

Am so sorry semalam tak larat posting walaupun nak sangat. Sampai balik dari Jakarta sudahpun kul 10 malam. Pastu gi minum ngan kawan-kawan yang sudi menjemput kat KLIA (abang Bad thanks so much... selain si montel mental dan sora halilintar)

Aku tengah sibuk wat story supaya esok takyah masuk lagi opis. Tengahari ni nak ke acara bersanding Aman (selamat pengantin baru bro WORLD) then pastu malam nak lak ke konsert Mawi kat Stadium Putra (alamak.. ke sana lagik).

Nak sangat tengok Farhan beraksi malam esok. Farhan kata dia akan bak lagu Fly Me To The Moon. Aku suka sangat!!! Yeay!

Secara ringkasnya semalam... tak terkejut ler results. Nak wat apa... kalao orang pilih ikut emosi dan sentimen... then like I've said reality... fantasi kini telah berakhir. The reality now begins. For all the kids... not just the finalists.

Aku akan wat ulasan terperinci tomorrow. Erm... Sunday ler.

Banyak aku nak highlight sangat.

Apa yang aku nak kata.... carutan berhenti disini.. pasal all the kids, because the golden rule of this blog is, the moment they come out of the Akademi, they stop becoming characters, and I give them the respect they warrant in proving what kind of people they are.

So to the fanatics... gunakan masa ni wat blog ek.

What do I feel about the results?

Couldn't care less. Expected and predictable.

Kita lihat impact of the results in six to nine months. Tu je.

Do read my next posting kang sebab banyak benda aku rasa korang perlu tahu.

Dari soal fashion malam semalam... ke statistics of the final yang membuktikan one thing.
Akademi Fantasia musim keempat HAMBAR!

And yang menang, tak dapat menyaingi senior-senior mereka yang lepas daripada Akademi daripada segi karisma, personaliti and most importantly, following.

But the end of the season means something too.

Ada ler yang pasni takleh nak gila glamer pakai nama Akademi Fantasia... merasalah yang syok sendiri feel diva (you know who you are)

Ok ler...nak abihkan keja. Esok another busy day. Monday and Tuesday rasa nak off je. Wednesday ada event yang wajib hadir, tapi sebelum tu pun ada perancangan.

Tunggu sesi photography ngan finalists.

And oh... pada mereka yang katakan aku hanya berani mencarut kat blog... tunggu bukti aku tunjuk bebudak segala posting aku kang ek.

Kutuk jangan tak kutuk. At the end of the day... this blog da weather all sorts of fanatics gila come and go every musim Akademi Fantasia. Yang penting niat kita memasing kita tahu.

Like Lotter nyanyi, "In the end... it doesn't really matter".

Yang mengutuk dan menuduh... ada dua jenis. One is who are passionate about the arts, and know beza antara permata dan kaca. Another type is yang berangan.

Contohnya kalao nak tahu, aku dengar khabar berita ni... ada sorang kaki kutuk yang selalu singgah blog aku... carut aku memacam sebab sokong seorang bekas pelajar ni yang jadi target awal aku.

Tanak ngaku peminat tapi last-last pecah lobang dia fan club budak tu. Yang terbaru aku dengar... uwaaaaaaaaa... feel nak tawar diri jadi manager budak tuh.

Amboi... hebat!

Tanpa pengalaman senang kan nak jadik manager artiste?

Erm... apa jadi yang dulu sibuk sangat nak tonjol dalam Mawi FC?

Ni la jenis bangsa aku maksudkan... people who talk helluva lot... but amount to NOTHING.

Oh they come in all forms... cita punya hebat.

Hasilnya at the end of the day, comes from the evidence... or lack of...

Ok ler... ngantuk... nak abikan sikit agik pastuh balik tidur jap sebelum another full day (tak cukup tidur sejak gi Jakarta).

Night....zzzzz

F the F!

Sebab ni posting terakhir aku mengenai Diari Akademi Fantasia untuk musim ni, nak meroyan wat final time (kecuali dapat inspirasi lebih time kat Jakarta nanti).

Diari hari, the last I will probably get to see, kecuali aku sempat catch the second Diari untuk hari terakhir, minggu terakhir Akademi Fantasia 4 sekembalinya aku pada hari Jumaat nanti.

Got to catch Diari tadi and sempat posting sebelum gerak ke KLIA.

Yerla... hari ni lagi, si Faizal nampak agi perangai dia. Aku rasa cam lain je, saat saat akhir ni baru Astro nak tayangkan perangai dia yang da ramai pun nampak.

Pikir punya pikir... mana taknya. Reverse psychology tuh.... yang bangang selama ni pecaya dia ni angel gila babs... akan rasa dia di aniaya, and terus vote ler konon.

That's what Astro is betting on.

Yawn... been there done that.

So trying to be like last season.

Kalau time Lotter kena keji... macam macam dilakukan oleh Astro. Satu malam (time sebelum konsert AFMASUK) dia wat promo tuh ni tuk triggers. Nampak sangat sapa pilihan Astro untuk AFMASUK.

Konon ler ada yang promo kata pilihan AFMASUK adalah kemenangan pilihan rakyat bukan pilihan duit.

Pleaselah...

Rakyah guna bulu ke nak undi? In any way, it's always about AFUNDIs and how much is spent.

And that's Astro and Akademi Fantasia's only concern. Tak kisah sebenarnya sebab tu tujuan program dia pun. Nak kaut keuntungan. Tapi bila da sampai takde etika, yang tak talented pun meka nak bantu dalam apa cara sekalipun dari segi pilihan lagu... baju... triggers... as in previous seasons.... then memang keji.

Tengok balik Diari dari minggu pertama dan ingat agenda setiap minggu. Everything leads to something.

Is this a conspiracy theory? Yes.

Is it small minded like some people like to refer to, untuk nampak segala penipuan yang berlaku ni? Only if you have an agenda... so tengok jugak ek kalao ada yang cakap camtuh camni tuh ada KEPENTINGAN ke tidak.

Banyak points da raised, tapi knowing fanatik, takkan sedar sampai bila-bila....

Cam dulu masa musim ketiga ada yang fanatik Mawi sangat sampai tuh ni....memang bukan nak menidakkan Mawi berbakat tapi dijulang lebih daripada budak tuh mampu handle.

Ni Faizal yang scheming and manipulating pun sama je.

Tengok Diari hari... unless dia ni illiterate... bodoh.... memang fail time exam, tak ada PMR pun, then aku kesian dia bebetul.

Siapakan Faizal? Memang klon...tapi bukan klon Mawi dari musim lepas, tapi klon Mas dari musim kedua.

Penagih simpati untuk meraih undi. And like they say, there's a sucker born every second... so ada ler yang bangap pecaya apa je yang disuap.

Orang bagi points camna pun yang fanatik tak caya.

Aku start dari pengenalan 20 orang calon Akademi Fantasia ngan yakin F&F the best. Now I only hope for one F... which is Farhan.

Faizal? Flop...failure... fake...fed-up...frustrated... everything la...buang masa tol!

Hari ni punya Diari dia poyo abih.... sampai kena marah je ngan Umi. Sambungan ler tuh dari semalam.

No expression and all.

Oh please... like he's not acting it out. And like Astro is showing it out of goodwill to be fair.... selama ni meka favour sapa meka rasa leh perah undi dari fanatik je.

More stupidity from Faizal later... eh...tiba-tiba peluk Lotter time tak pasal-pasal.

Bottomline?

There are some things he can't fake.

And I salute Loloq sebab pandai nak tulis kan lirik yang sesuai untuk Faizal. See if you understand the message.

Kepada Tuhanku aku berserah
Rinduku untuk kau terima
Kerana jiwa tulus bukan syarat bertakhta cinta

Biarpun seluruh nafasku
Menjunjung namamu selalu
Meskinya ruang hatiku hanya ada wajahmu

Bukan ku tak percaya
Kau kasihku
Bukan ku berputus asa
Pada kasihmu yang bisa merubah segalanya

Lihatlah hujan yang turun putih berkilau
Masih berdebu Inikan lagi kejujuranku
Insan berpalu
Tangisan pilu

Lihatlah
Lihatlah di sebalik zahirku
Lihatlah
Lihatlah ke dalam batinku
Lihatlah
Lihatlah kebenaran tersirat
Lihatlah dengan mata halus, siapa diriku

Aku highlight chorus sebab lagu tu menceritakan Faizal yang sebenar as far as I am concerned.

Kan Loloq pun cakap tailor made punya lagu based on Faizal's true self?

So look deeper, and lihatlah kebenaran siapa Faizal yang sebenar.

All I can say is, whichever girl he's singing this to, must really be suffering blindness for not seeing the truth... so kira Faizal nyanyi pada pengundi dia lah ni.

Untuk ulasan dan carutan lebih, usha blog orang gila yang terus kan perjuangan dalam axis of evil!

F is for Faizal. Also FAKE!

Nak start this blog posting ngan lagu Drama. Alaaa.. lagu Ning baru featuring Nikki dan Yanie.

Kalau korang tak dapat catch the song on radio... senang je alternative nya (jangan ler download, aku merayu sangat ni... tak elok tuh), you can go to myspace and listen to it there.

Sekali kalao ada account leh add ler. You can hear Drama on aku punya myspace(silakan add kalao sudi), also you can it hear it myspace Ning Baizura, Nikki ataupun Yanie. Yes, myspace tuh semua milik mereka ok. And they do check it, so kalao minat antara meka, pepandai ler add meka on myspace ok.

And kalao ada apa-apa upcoming single daripada meka, you can get the LATEST news there, so kalau takde myspace... rugi ler.... cepat ler sign up for one.

Yes... now on to the programme.

Aku miss Diari yang pertama sekali lagi hari ni. Tapi with good excuse... aku sibuk running errands sebelum ke Jakarta esok. Aku akan posting ulasan Diari pertama esok kalau aku sempat sebelum berlepas ke KLIA. Aku balik hari Jumaat, tapi kalau ko masih nak update... aha... wajib!!!

Aku kat sana if I can find an Internet cafe, bisa aja online.

Pergi pun dasar keja, so ada ler benda gak nak cita.

Anyway, back to today...sibuk sikit with bebenda nak buat, but caught the second Diari.

Mmmm... nak cakap camna ek.

Biasa je... aku rasa kalao wat ulasan... then cam mengulangi ulasan mana-mana Diari for the past nine weeks je. Nothing different.

Just Faizal semakin menunjukkan bangang dia. Aku puas ati tul tenaga pengajar da mula tegur dia blur. Semalam Dr Eveready... ari nih Umi.

Tapi last scene bab Umi tuh, aiyoooo... please la. Faizal ni... faking it out man...

Nak konon wat blur... tapi Umi pandai nak perangkap dia. Last-last he ends up looking stupid and the rest of the kids gelakkan dia. Yeayy!!!!

Mampos laa kalau menang pun Akademi Fantasia, ko tetap ler menang seba lakonan ko memang hebat, Faizal...

Rewind sikit bab Kevin Zahri pun da nampak.

Mr Carbs tanya dia samaada nak makan steak (disebut stick oleh Kevin ok).

Faizal wat bodoh sampai kena explain lak si Carbs tu... stickkk... stick.... lembu panggang.
Pastu Pejal jawab, "Dok rajin makang..."... tapi Kevin tak dengar.

Alang alang Kevin tak dengar, dia tuklau jawapan "Dok penah makang".

Hello!!! Kalau kat celah Kampung Jawa, Klang pun ada gerai Western yang offer memacam (t-bone, black pepper dan entah haper agik), takkan Marang takde kot. Gawd... you don't even know what steak means?

Incredibly dumb or damn faker?

Entahlah...

Aku letak ala logo Ferrari tuh untuk describe Faizal. Looks like the original... the real thing kan? But like Faizal... it's fake!

Well... nak wat apa... ramai orang camni around. Kesian budak gila ni terpaksa tahu the hard way. Orang lain susah wat tuh ni... lain lak feeling amik credit. Sesuai ler..
Wel.. there is such a thing as KARMA.

That's all I'm saying.

Eh ok. Malas posting panjang malam ni. Siang esok aku posting agik.

Nak gi jejalan dulu.... esok da kat Jakarta... yeah!!!

PS.
Thanks to my guardian angel for the birthday gift. A little late, not necessary, but very much appreciated. More than you know.

PS Part II
To orang gila - bukan beg LV ok! You can stop staring uglily at me now. (lawak bosan)
