Menuju puncak!

OK...first of all I have to start with this fucking piece of incredible, no amazing piece of shit!
Zahid, my man is the first in Akademi Fantasia! Finally!

Linda is still doing fine and Zarina is edging her way into the Top 5.

However, this has to be mentioned. After last night's outstading performances from Zahid, I got home for the night bout 5am, and he was actually at the top with a record setting 22%!
Here's the current poll result.

ZAHID 16
ADAM 14
MAS 13
LINDA 13
KAER 12
ZARINA 11
BOB 8
FARAH 8
NURUL 7

Now, if that isn't a fucking amazing jump, I don't know what it is. Fucking loser wannabe Adam had those shitty hormonal bitches voting for him, so he's actually second, while major fuck up Mas is still in the Top 3 despite her continued bitch ass performance!
Sheesh!

Anyway, had fun at the MPPJ Civic Center where it was held. Dr Sher Kawi was introduced to me after the show, and he started going, "Oh, so YOU'RE the one who's been drinking venom!"

Oops! Looks like he's been reading my stories. Was pretty good natured about it though and we had a good laugh.

Also felt kinda sorry for Edlin and Fitri who were eliminated the first two expulsion concerts, but it was kind of nice to see them. At least they're both respectful.

Jumpa pun tahu nak tegur, nak salam. Elok lah tu. Minta-minta lah berterusan beradab.

Biasanya kalau dah bergelar artis cepat lupa diri orang kita ni.


Fitri, yours truly...and oh, Edlin somewhere down there!

Now, once, the shebang was over. I thought it would be a decent Saturday night. It was...for a while at least, but my bubble burst.

Suffice to say, something happened and I started doubting the need to be honest with people. There's this person, I kind of like, but never even considered seriously beyond a friend, not to mention not even sexually attracted, and I was told that tengah contemplating apa dia nak buat and so on, to avoid from 'hurting my feelings' cause takleh balas my 'affection'.

I mean REALLY!

All I said was I fancied being friends and I expected honesty and proper friendship treatment. Like I don't know anything pasal dia to even consider more.

Anyway, everything was a little screwy for me on the drive home and I SMSed my explanations to the individual involved explaining what I felt and meant. Hopefully that clears the air.

Sheesh. What's the use of being honest if people prefer to hear lies, right?

Reached home, switched on telly, to Channel @15 and my spirits lifted up at once to see Zahid at 22%.

Was so happy, stuck to the boob tube until 9am! His votes had by then gone down to 20% but it was fine with me, as long as I know he has a nice, well-deserved lead over the rest of the competition.

Didn't get a chance to update you, blogger, but you know what. I broke my own record of not smacking someone silly in public for yonks the night before.

The person receiving the honours, got three mighty smacks! Would have given a nice dose of my pretty Heelys but didn't bother doing so in public to avoid a ruckus.

Anyway, bumped into said person again last night, and he went scurrying away almost immediately!

Another asshole who owes me money (actually it's Ted's money, I'm helping to get it back) was ever so sweet to let me know (without me stalking him down) that he's pay up by next Friday.

I think I should take back on my principle in life before this.

Take life by the balls and bruise 'em if you find it necessary!

Just another day...

Stacy was supposed to have a recording session today, but since her voice wasnt up to it, the whole do got cancelled.

Instead, after meeting Hashim and Fadil of RTM for a little discussion on blogs and such for the program on Sunday, hopped into the studio layan Toi rakam Panahan Asmara. Rerecord actually sebab all the finalists are having their new singles rerecorded.

So with Stacy gone for the weekend to shoot Aku Stacy, relax sikit and I get a little TGIF time. Project R results come back da. One more meeting and it's on. Prohect S officially begins on Tuesday.

Project M meetings next week. Darn...

Now for a little TGIF time.

Thursday, July 10, 2008

Erm...

Otak jam ari nih. Went to a mind-numbing total of three meetings today, plus one rehearsal session. Am so pooped!

Actually cuma rehearsal tadik dapat ler dok jap tengok other people sweat it out through the vigorous routine. Si Stacy, Shawal, Riz and Zahid semua involved for the dance training tuk shooting iklan Boh which will take place next week.

Seronok dapat lepak jap ler sebab otak stress seharian pikir nak wat jadual nak organise my time. Yer... aku skang kena organise time aku da. Matilah... so unheard of me kan? Well, seeing I have so many things on my plate right now, kenalah.

For sesapa yang fans of the kids, ni some pics.

Shawal with Afiq Maestro


Getting ready for his part in the routine


Stacy sempat pose tu. Riz lak focusing on choreography


Amboi.. pose lagik


Dan lagik... erm.. I think that's all folks!


Another day to go through before I get a break over the weekend. Yeay! Not counting the Sunday night promise to be a guest for TV1's Blog program.

Pening.... at least tomorrow no meetings, just one studio session je.

Would love to post more... but feeling mengantuk da.


PS - Did a little blog hopping. Haven't gone into YB Jeff Ooi's blog in a while. CLICK HERE for an interesting read and HERE for the source story. Wonder if harga minyak akan turun ke, atau ada yang wat bodoh jer. Turun ler... horror la nak terus camni....

PS Pt II - Our beloved Prime Minister finally set his retirement date saying he he will hand over the leadership to his deputy in June 2010. Enquiring minds want to know if a) is that constitutional as Ku Li puts it and b) will there be anything to hand over by the time 2010 rolls about. The Pakatan opposition this evening filed a no-confidence motion against the PM. The plot thickens.... there better be more scandals in the entertainment industry, or politics is turning out to be more fun...

And one more thing... Happy birthday to Tun Mahathir Mohamad! You're 83! Blowing out the candles should be fun, sir!

Blow out!

Just third day into the week, aku rasa nak collapse from exhaustion! Since besok ada one more meeting called for Project S - aku call off meeting malam ni tuk Project M.

Rehat one whole day (yer lah tuh). But good news is things are finally back to normal with my Streamyx restored to full capacity, thanks to a helpful Streamyx contractor.

Smalam dok ngamuk kat TMpoint puas puas, FINALLY someone listened and did some work on it to get my account sorted out.

Anyhoo, USB cable for my cam still missing, but finally popped out the memory card and slotted it in direct to my laptop.

Just a couple of pics from a day or two past yang tak sempat letak sini jerk.



Love this pic of Faz masa malam tu lepak lepak. Why? Because of the t shirt la! Aku dok gelak pasai t shirt dia je. My answer? In court as evidence! Matilah sapa tak paham....

Then ada pic ni of Nadia masa ke Maestro smalam. Dia baru abih shoot nak balik rumah, tapi sambil tunggu manager, ni keja dia. Making those little funky paper stars! Erm.... rajin tol dak ni. Tapi dia kata nak wat tuk Stacy nih, so no komen. Sorry sebab aku decline nak belajar wat ek girl. Doubt I have the patience lor nak buat bebenda alah tuh. Heh...

Seb baik masa aku ngan Nadia gi minum jumpa Cherry, Syed, Wan and Along tak buat benda tuh skali.




And last but not least, ni pic si Ika tengah berenang.



Why this pic? Saja jer. Heh! Sebab dia ngan Yana larikan diri takut aku amik pic kat pool, so aku saja snappy dia. Tapi pic sopan jerk. Jangan pikir bukan bukan ek! Tak elok korang. Tapi lajus je meka lari kuar kolam. Sejuk katanya.

Si Stacy dan Cherry pun tak larat berendam lama lama.

Malas tulis pepanjang ari ni. No mood. Nak kuar jap mengular ngan kengkawan so relax before my meetings tomorrow.
Nite all.

FYI

Okay...maybe I need to explain a little about the last posting where I had this strange unexplainable outburst of anger and frustration.

It's over another case of rejection (but how it is I don't know, as I didn't even propose anything to that person) and I'm just feeling pissed at being judged physically when the person seems so hung up on me emotionally. It's like when we talk we go on for hours because we are BOTH seemingly enjoying each other's company. Too bad I was fucking mistaken. Now back to work.

Whoopsie!

First of all, let me share this bit of information. Ahad ni aku dijemput sebagai tamu melalui program Blog melalui TV1, RTM at 8.40pm.

I am proud to be invited to share my views as a blogger sebab the other invited guests have been the likes of Datuk A. Kadir Jasin (an idol of mine) and Raja Petra Kamaruddin, a former boss of mine masa dulu keja freeanwar.com (bet many of you didn't know that) as well as Rocky (my former editor at the good 'ol The Malay Mail way back when it was fun.

Anyway, the program I think is a good start towards acknowledgement of bloggers, who are gaining more respect than ever, and I think while, not replacing traditional media, will gain more leverage in time to come.

Jangan lupa tonton ek, guys!

Ni ada some clips if you wanna get an idea of what the show is like. It'll be different than most stuff I've appeared in TV for, but it'll definitely be fun as I think I am the first totally non socio-political blogger on-air.

Kalau leh, spend some time to watch two of the edition of these programs with my former bosses.

Raja Petra Kamaruddin - Part 1

Raja Petra Kamaruddin - Part 2

Raja Petra Kamaruddin - Part 3

Rocky - Part 1

Rocky - Part 2


After all that heavier stuff, now here's the lighter stuff. Stacy's back from the Gold Coast. Ni pics dari Stacy nya camera. Sorry tak banyak cause dia amik as much as she could. Tapi battery mati tak charge! Pastu,Riz amik battery Stacy sebab battery cam dia pun abih. Amik ko!
Heh!

Anyway enjoy the pics. Please guys kalao nak simpan for your personal collection silakan. But kalao nak publish other website, please CREDIT and LINK me as well as Stacy FC.


























Kalao slow loading jangan salahkan aku ek! Aku ada banyak pics in my cam from the past few days, tapi USB cable aku masih missing! Damn! Ok la... nak sign off. Be posting later...


PS - What's up with that Saiful Bukhari dude who claimed he was on the receiving end of butt baseball with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim? (CLICK HERE untuk cita selanjutnya) Dude!!!! You claim to have given it up! Fight it out in court! Tak yah nak wat declaration on the Net. Statement dia ""Wahai Anwar MUNAFIK!! Aku cabar kau BERMUBAHALAH!!Tetap kan tempat dan waktu! Aku AKAN datang!!Yang HAK Pasti Berdiri.Yang BATIL Pasti Jatuh!!Aku tidak GENTAR.. ALLAHHUAKBAR!!!"" is so tidak perlu ok.... sigh.. more drama!

Busy as a bee!

Another horrendously busy day to begin the week! Can't post a long entry today. But just want to add laughed my butt off Alak of Carburetor Dung's attitude towards the Protes gathering held. CLICK HERE for the story.

Honestly kenapa la mamat nih nak melondehkan seluar nak tunjuk boxer murahan dia tuh? Seb baik bukan stok elastik haus cam kes porno video sorang politician lebih sedekad lepas (matilah aku bukak cita lama!)

Honestly, do we need a further pollution of the entertainment industry? Already I think it is so wrong untuk campur adukkan bidang hiburan dengan politik (never politicise entertainment, though politics is always entertaining - kinda like watching the most horrendous, and yet morbidly fascinating car crashes on the home video shows).

Two words, Alak. Faizal Tahir.

Kan naya kena belasah jer kurang ajar camtuh. Ko nak orang wat apa? What were the lyrics of the song again? Senyum bangga tuh kenapa?

Honestly.

Thank you so much kerana mencemarkan lagi dunia hiburan ngan gimik murahan tak bertempak (kemaruk gig nak wat perangai ke sampai show terbuka camni kat stadium feeling overdose?)

Sheesh!

Anyway, wanted to post pics of a lepak session kat Pelita, tapi USB cable digicam aku tertinggal kat mana ntah. Kena carik ler nih. Apapon, it was a nice close to a busy day sebab started with just bebudak 6ixth Sense who are leaving for Singapore tomorrow (baguih ler rezeki mai melimpah nih).

Then Faz joined in, Mohariz the composer joined in. Ramai sangat. Nanti jer la for the pics.
Signing off for tonight. Ta!


PS - What's with our beloved Prime Minister blaming bloggers for everything that is happening? (CLICK HERE for the story) Sheesh! Aiyo boss... cmon la! Why doesn't anyone in this country of ours ever OWN UP to their mistakes, and always blaming it on others? Ngaku jer la....

Remodelling

Sorry guys. Hari ni membosankan bagi blog ni. Aku spring cleaning and overhaul rupa bilik aku yang bersepah bagi nampak sesuai for human habitation sebab tak kuasa da nak duduk keadaan camni (actually pas gi shopping sakan kat Ikea).

Took me about eight hours to clear up everything. Damn!

Post more tomorrow!

Saturday, July 05, 2008

Shopping frenzy! or IKEA good, TMnet... BAD!!!

Stopped by Pet Shack tadik (the best pet shop you can find - especially when it comes to sugar gliders stuff apart from everything else you can't find anywhere else). Da lama tak drop by, but had to finally after putting it off cause my Joey Jr nya blended mix of fruits da abih.

Ended up spending about a hundred on bark bites, new toys for my glider and more. Damn! That glider is getting so pampered, spending more on him than myself.

Pas abih singgah rumah Bangsar nak put everything in, and then fix it up before putting his food out.

Dropped by Low Yat, but saved money from buying an Asus laptop (nak sangat sebab skrin 7 inci, kicik leh letak pouch jer). Had to keep reminding myself not to waste money.

And then finally singgah Ikea kerana nak belikan a new clothes rack. Mine collapsed due to the sheer weight of my clothes.

Ended up at the check out counter with TWO racks (cheap ma!), several storage containers (four I think), a rug, and some other miscellaneous stuff.

Masa carik wallet, panik maut! My wallet was missing! Pikir betul betul, realised must have left it in the car! Matilah kalao ilang kena rompak akibat keta kena pecah! Da la baru withdraw banyak nak shopping. Korek suar, ada few hundred my sis pass nak hantar kat my mum, pakai dulu nak bayar.

Settle jer, rushed out to the car. Seb baik ada... !!!!

Decided to go grab a bite, curse and swear useless TMnet punya customer service bila ada problem nak log in for Streamyx Hotspot. Honestly kan, I think TMnet hires some of the most incompetent people EVER!

Why is it they NEVER get the details right sampai kena repeat berpuluh kali??? And you would think that they wouldn't need to go by the manual they have in front of them and go step by step when you've already identified the problem???

Or worse still, put you on hold for minutes only to pick up and repeat the same bloody things or ask you the same damn questions!

Aku tension customer service meka!!! Slalu tau! Dari sepuluh kali aku call kalao ada problem, sembilan kali an imbecile will pick up the phone!!! Tu pun pas redah that annoying taped message yang buang masa.

Stress!!!

This is so in contrast with the service I get at the Klang branch of TMnet yang semua helpful gila! I have had it with TMnet. Bodoh!!!! Hopeless!!!

Quality of service most of the time HAMPEH!

Argh!!! Looks like I may soon change my Internet service provider.

Eh meroyan lak... ok ok.. nak away dulu ek. Nak spring cleaning and pasang semua benda alah aku beli tadi. Da lama tak kemas bilik... matilah tengah malam pagi buta nak spring cleaning....

Euphoria!

Just found out today when passed the Sunway area that Euphoria brought by London's Ministry of Sound is opening!!! After the years of speculation konon Ministry bukak kat KL, rupanya meka open in Sunway! They officially opened two days ago, but definitely not too late. Looks like I may just end up clubbing this weekend!

About time I returned to some serious clubbing. Tapi kat Sunway Lagoon Resort punya area tak berkenan sangat actually. Still that place holds memories (Arena - 1997, and later Heaven before it became a fengtau joint) post Boom Boom Room)

Oooh... got the chills just thinking about it!

Jalan-jalan...

Bored to death today. Next meeting on Monday, and many more spread out throughout next week. So sebelum kesibukan teramat melanda, kemalasan melampau lak take over.

Petang tadi ke The Curve. Nak tunggu Bob habis gym sebenarnya. Si Juan dan Bobby ke Ikea then jumpa aku sana. Abang Bad (ni sorang lagik pemilik blog alam barzakh) lak kebetulan in the area sebab Diddy baru abih rakaman, so dia pun join.

Lepak kat Little Penang melantak.

Lighting semua nampak flawless... hasil lighting yer (matilah aku!)


Sambil borak borak, sempat aku cam whoring sikit. Actually aku potong rambut da berminggu, tapi tak amik pic lagik rambut aku skang camna. Memang burok! Hah! Carut diri sendiri sebelum di carut orang. Tapi sebab da lama tak wat, saja back to my mohawk. Rasa cam Anna & The King lak ala Siam bahagian depan aku tengok.

Cam whoring!



After we finished, Abang Bad dan Diddy gerak after a while, sementara Juan dan Bobby pun made a move, before meeting up with Bob and I kat rumah Ayien lepak.

Ngantuk siot... enjoy ler puas puas. Minggu depan, haram aku nak lepak camnih da.

Kelab Pop

Sampai je Wisma Ali Bawal tuk shooting Kelab Pop, bumped into lots of people! Mana taknya... bukan je satu episod nak shooting. Banyak skali harung. Aku nya slot yang last for the day.

Team aku, apart from myself, si Juan dan Rudy. Harus lah havoc katanya. Our challengers? Ifa Raziah, Serina Redzuan dan Fazli Zainal.

Semua mulot leh tahan.

Once, the final episod before ours finished (sempat usha, tapi akibat tuh tambah nervous), congratulated the winners! Siapa lagi kalau bukan team Triple Z (no, that was not their team name - tapi sebab memang tiga tiga nama start ngan Z).

The winning team for the shoot before ours was bro Zahid, skali ngan Zain formerly of RuffEdge (kira former ker) and Zed Zaidi. Uwaa... julang trofi ngan bangga tuh!

Mana taknya, dengar musim lepas, piala adalah piala pusingan yang passed on.

Musim ni semua pemenang dapat individual trophy.

Triple Z - Zain, Zed Zaidi and Zahid - eksyen ngan trofi tuh!


Uwaa... adik da dapat trophy, the pressure is on to meet expectations. Sebenarnya aku tak kisah pun mula mula nak menang ke apa... lagikpon appear pun ada saguhati da. Merasalah dijemput sebagai selebriti wakil media. Matilah... nak good impression ni.

Plus, adik da menang, aku pun nak ler. And it didn't hurt that the trophy cantik gak and nampak mahal. Heh!

So masa game, memang all out. Tapi round random question memang no hal. Seb baik tak terbodoh aku. Tapi round CD rosak aku tension. Tak pick up langsung. Juan banyak jawab.
Tapi yang kelakar, satu yang berjaya aku jawab tuh, tak sampai beberapa saat aku da tekan buzzer dan jerit jawapan. Lagu tu memang familiar - lagu hit yang kerap berkumandang radio.

Kalau tak kenal memang aku patut kena pancung - matilah malu kalao aku tak cam. Sebelum sesiapa sempat, aku tekan dan jerit STACY!!!! AKU STACY!!!! Heh! Tak ler aku malu sangat tak jawab speed round tu.

Round humming dan karaoke maut tuh memang pecah perot. Aku sampai nak jatuh pentas gelak!

Aku takleh cakap apa apa la... korang tengok kang bila episod tu on air. Not sure when... but memang kelakar!

Fazli, Serina, Reza, Juan, Rudy and me, myself and I. Kak Ifa terpaksa rushing balik cepat sebab anak dia sakit.


Pas abih gi lepak Pelita as usual. Tak plan apa apa pun. Dan dan... ada orang tegur. Rupanya Marsha dan Kefli ada 'discussion'. Hah... habihla korang kuar lagik la cita korang kuar berdua. Sebenarnya kira business meeting sebab ada hal nak bincang. Last last meka join satu meja.

Banyak ler aku nak borak ngan Kef sebab cita Gaia yang aku tarik diri. Then borak ngan Marsha pasal bab lain yang takleh sebut sini.

Kef and Marsha


Jauh tuh duduk!


Sibuk borak, tetiba lak ramai sampai kat Pelita tu. The ones aku sempat snappy Mila dan secara berasingan, Jac. Bangga ngan meka. Takde nya feeling kekwat takleh lepak mamak. Ada sesetengah nih pandang mamak ni cam hina sangat. And kalao lepak kat kedai mamak, rasa cam kena bagitau satu dunia seperti Fear Factor lak. Amik ko!

Mila lak sampai


Then Jac...


Hung about dari I think about 10pm, sampai almost 4am! Penat gila by the end of it all.
If I neglected to tell you the result of the episode Kelab Pop I was in. Sebenarnya... kami.. MENANG!!!!!

Amik ko! Trofi yang dok kat ruang tamu rumah skang. Nothing much to be proud of... biasa biasa je. Yang penting, we all had fun, and with friends.

Apa dia? Bolos? You'll never get me into that skin tight baju. Nangis kang Fitri tengok baju dia buat tuh kena stretch ngan aku! Nangis lagik tetiba Bolos kena rating sebagai horror film lak nampak lebihan aku semua. Matilah...

Over and out... for today...

Butt baseball again?

Deja vu! Ten years later! Malas nak komen lebih sebab korang pun tau pasal apa. Well, again, I've mentioned I'm staying away from the sensationalism of politics, and more to the entertainment world here.

Malas nak ulas demi nak hits. Tapi apapon, I have had enough of all this.

Ten years ago, I made my mark in news by covering the birth of Reformasi, the street demos, the subsequent arrest of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. I was an eager, enthusiastic journalist keen on sourcing out truth and writing what I believed would change the country.

Yeah... right... and then I woke up.

So many things need be done.

And I'll leave it to others who can do so much more. I feel like devoting years to all this with no progress, or little that is unjustified of the time spent, malas da.

I love Malaysia... so much. Can't imagine packing up and leaving. Everytime gi cuti balik pun rasa nak kembali sini jerk. And when I do get back, I hit all my fave stalls and bersyukur sangat.

Hujan emas di negeri orang... and all that bull.

Yeap... politics suck. And our country is a long way off from being healed from all the crap we have to go through. And forget that saviour, that hero who will come turn things around. Deal with it jer la... after all... you all made your decision da masa elections.

Sapa setakat cakap lebih tak undi pun tak guna.

I have been browsing lots of blogs to just read up on latest developments, and I had a good laugh. Because I am aware quite of few of them didn't even vote.

Whoopie doo!

Entah la... leave me to my frivolous stuff and let me build my life better for myself and my family. Because no matter who I elect into office, the price of things still go up, income doesn't, corruption still rears its ugly head, and political scum-suckers still exist.

Heh... sounds apathetic kan?

No la... just malas nak ulas lebih about allegations or past pics of supposed butt-batters or the supposed receivers.

I think I'll just pick up a copy of the National Enquirer, thank you.

All the drama here is so like the dramas they have on RTM. Recycled trash... junk that may have been mildly appealing the first time, but just plain boring with repetitiously familiar storyline and characters (with a couple of switches) this time.

That is unless this time they can provide some PHOTOGRAPHIC evidence or video proof. Baru drama mama sikit. Lain dari tu, the he say, she say getting tiring. We all know they lie... so it gets too confusing to figure out the technicalities of who lies less to believe in.

Yawn...

Writing this before popping into Stacy place to see her, and pick up Chaq and the rest of the Bad Boyz (formerly Evoke). Saja nak bye bye sebelom Stacy ke Gold Coast esok.
Mama Stacy sampai pagi besok, so she gets to spend time with her mother, sebelom berlepas dari KLIA at night.
Dunno if sempat jumpa dia besok, but will try. Kalao tak jumpa dia pas balik dari Gold Coast jerk. Signing off for tonight... night, guys!


PS - Esok kalao sempat aku update earlier sikit sebab ada rakaman Kelab Pop. Yes, I am taking part. Takkan Bolos lak.. bukan muat pun.. and no way I'm wearing those hugging suits. Matilah aku....
