Miracles do happen!

So I haven't posted in a couple of days.My body has been working up and I still don't feel too well. It's a tug of war with an attacking fever, which I don't know whether I'm winning or losing.To cut short my banter, the good news is last night, Nikki messaged me and told me she's IN the wild card show for Malaysian Idol!Oh joyful, joyful! The latest check at the official Malaysian Idol website revealed she's No. 1 on the list of contestants Malaysia...

Oh happy day (a little tired - but still happy!)

So the day started yesterday to be exact. I think I've gotten like two hours in total sleep the last 24 hours. I have been in the office since something like 4am this morning.My intention was to finish my work, but I've only been half way through one of the two stories I have to finish.Sibuk sangat nak cantikkan blog punya pasal. But I think it's worth it. Anyway, still feeling really drowsy. Silly Alam logged me off the PC I was using, and now I...

She works hard for her money...so hard for it honey...

Today I am feeling exceptionally 'rajin'!. Whether it amounts to anything or not, we'll see.I got to the Vision Four studio to interview the Idol kids for the third workshop a little late and they all had gone back to continue their rehearsal. Interviewed 8TV chief operations officer Ahmad Izham Omar instead. More interesting than the kids! Anyway, had a right laugh to myself cause I really think there won't be a Malaysian Idol next year the way...

Boring!!!

OK..so didn't update over the weekend. Too lazy to type much, so here's an insight into what happened the last few days.Saturday - Nurul got her sorry butt kicked out of Akademi Fantasia (Hooray!)- Spent the night bitching over the results and a load of inane, useless stuff with Face, Hard, Farihad and the lot who joined later including Poohby (don't ask...Hooray!).- Road blocks all over town - no chance to get a drive-by session, rest of the night...

Talent? Is that what they call it?

Watched the second workshop of Malaysian Idol, and I can safely say they suck!Messaged 8TV chief operating officer Ahmad Izham Omar and bitched about it and going on about how it's a sham that three of the losers would automatically move on just by the merit of being Top 3 despite the obvious fact that they SUCKED! Big time!Anyway, he replied positively and agreed and said that the participants of the second workshop might not make the wild card...

I need a raise!

Boring day. My wounds are healing, too much work, and hurts like hell when I move about. I'm sore all over after the fall yesterday, a sure sign that turning 28 is really doing shitty things to my body. I got to finish quite a bit of work today so not posting much. Found more pics of Nikki in the Malaysian Idol website. Shots of the performance day, which she looked absolutely FABULOUS! There's also a pretty nifty interview there for her profile. Worth a read. Hey Nikki....really...stir fried vegetables? Name: Nikki Age: 18 Occupation: Student...

Ouch!

No real developments today. Nothing much happened. Interviewed Zarina from Akademi Fantasia this morning, rushed off to Bangsar to interview the second batch of Malaysian Idol contestants. There, had the envious opportunity to go smack on the granite when I tripped on something invisible going 50km/h on my Heelys. Yes, skating is dangerous...but then again, it's so much FUN!!!Uhm...let's see...what else. Ajai called me up, told him about Nikki, then...

Double whammy!

F-U-C-K! Fucking unbelievable!Not only was Zarina eliminated from Akademi Fantasia, Nikki was eliminated from Malaysian Idol after she didn't make the Top 3 for the show. Meanwhile, three losers move on!Sheesh!Malaysians are hopeless!They simply are NOT able to handle the power offered to them when it comes to deciding the talent of tomorrow. No wonder our local music industry is still stuck in such a fucking rut.I mean, seriously, FUCK! These people are swayed by emotions in relation to the individual traits of the person, or physical attributes,...

Woe!

Zarina is out of Akademi Fantasia!What a fucking shocker!I broke down after initially being stunned when Aznil announced her as the one leaving. Malaysians are just so fucked up! They really don't kow how to fucking appreciate talent.When voting closed, that bitch screecher Nurul was actually second with 18%! You must be fucking joking. She sounds as good as a toilet flushing! Zahid my fave was of course first with 20%! On the plus side, my other fave Linda was third with 14%. Best news was Adam is down to second last with 9% tied with Kaer and...

Happy birthday to me...

It's strange. Last year was perhaps the happiest birthday I had in my adult life. Sure it wasn't the best ever (not that I can recall any outstanding ones) but it was decent (even if the joy of it was short lived).I know it's only been hours since my birthday, officially, but I haven't received even one call or SMS. I know wallowing in self pity won't help, but I can't help but feel really sorry for myself.To make matters worse, I didn't even get a 'Happy Birthday' from my soulmate. It's as if I don't exist anymore. And even worse (if it's possible)...

Showers of blessing.......

Ahhh! Rain again.While the day started out wet early in the morning, the dreaded searing heat was again in place by midday.Thankfully at the very moment, huge, heavy drops of rain are pelting the windows noisily in what seems to be a massive shower out there. Raining cats and dogs some might say. I'd prefer the term, raining pussies and bitches. Such a soothing melody... This is the most relaxed day in a week Í've had all week. Except for the morningwhen I was all stressed out trying to get to Berjaya Times Square Hotel for a fucking Malaysian...

Nana...Hey...Na na na na na na...Nana ke?

Obviously I'm stuck on that silly song from Nana from Akademi Fantasia season one, who's now a presenter with era.fm.It's a poppy, bouncy lollipop kinda song which grows on you. Funky disco boogie track. And after humming along with it on era, I got in the office to discover that distributors Zezz have finally sent the promo copies of Azizi's (also of Akademi Fantasia season one) Kau Duniaku as well as concert one and two of the new season of Akademi Fantasia (where's the third one which has just been released) as well as the compilation of the...

Spinning around

I am coming seriously close to 24 hours without sleep and the effects are getting to me.I got back early last night, bout 10.30pm (that's like still fucking daylight for me), lazed about, stuffed my face and tuned in to @15 to watch Zahid as he practised over Black Eyed Peas' Where Is The Love? for this weeks' concert.Finished at about 12.30am, got hooked on some other programme which I can't even remember now (lack of sleep does that to you) and buggered off to my room at about 1.30am. Tried everything I could, and failed. Gave up tossing and...

Dead flowers in a vase...

My last post for today.Want to bugger off to Central Market for dinner.Didn't really do anything today.The weather's too lovely to actually get any work done. Anyways, the vase of dead bouquet of flowers is starting to look desperately at home in my pile of trash on my desk.If I get enough rest today, I will finish sending in my three due assignments for tomorrow (my gossip column in advance, for Malaysian Idol as well as Akademi Fantasia upcoming...

I have a blog!

OK. Today is kind of whacked. I got NO work done earlier today.Am still in the office.Only thing worthy of my pay for the day is finishing one measly news article on Anding's interview.Not feeling too well. Lethargic really. Really think it's the lack of sex! Not that I'm complaining.Self indulgence is so much more relaxed, not to mention guilt free. A relationship with the hand is a commitment you can't escape. Anyway, leaving soon,Got to meet the eleven kids from the first round of Malaysian Idol, which will air live, in the first SMS voting...
