Kejutan Akademi Fantasia

OK...aku tau da ramai tanya pasai benda ni. Dan semakin lama, nampaknya semakin cam tak jadik kan?

Tapi memang ura-ura ada kejutan tu...still going strong.

Kalau nak tau, as far as I know, awalnya, sepatutnya 14 peserta dipilih malam Konsert Prelude Akademi Fantasia. Bukan 12 yang finally decided upon. I have no idea why they 'changed' the format, sebab dengar khabar benda tu last minute sebenarnya meka amik 12.

Malas lak cakap judges mana yang pilih sapa (yang tak layak pada mata dan telinga aku) dan sapayang pilih yang patutnya berada dalam Akademi.

Anyway - awal-awal aku dengar, dua lagi pelajar akan diserap masuk melalui proses wild card ataupun AFMASUK.

Yang terbaru - dari sumber boleh dipercayai - ada ura-ura mengatakan, AFMASUK akan dijalankan.

Dimana, top two akan dipilih untuk berentap showdown untuk satu ruang lagi dalam Akademi Fantasia!

Betul ke tak...kita tunggu. Jangan menaruh harapan sangat pada AFMASUK ni....sebab taulah Astro.

Selagi benda tu orang harapkan (aku penah katakan ni), meka tak akan lakukan sebab bukan kejutan lagik ler kiranya.

Tapi bila benda tu da reda sikit...dan orang tak expect...masa tu ler kejutan dilakukan.
So tunggu apa lagi? Lakukan tanggungjawab anda. Ada petition protest penyingkiran Mawi dan Marsha. teruskan protest anda, biar dengan menandatangani petition tu, ataupun menuarakan protest anda di suratkhabar ataupun di @15 kerana akan ada hasilnya kalau Astro di pressured.

I'm sure of that at least...

Good luck pada sapa yang dapat seandainya ada AFMASUK.

For God's sake...

Geli betul la aku...dan semakin geli aku kat budak-budak Akademi Fantasia III ni.
Smalam again anticipation met with disappointment when I was let down lagik skali after watching the two daily diaries.

Ya ampun! Gediknya sekoq-sekoq tu. Rasanya nak chopping kick je muka meka!

I mean really!

Yazer and Aidil is totally pissing me off. Yazer sebab over-confident berangan bagus sangat, padahal melalak lagu Bad Company dahler off abih, berangan je rock! Sheesh....

And Aidil - don't get me started! Asik pecah lobang je dia ni! Tak reti control ke? Dalam ucap tu ni kat family, tiba-tiba tukar greeting, "And to you...I love you...Always remember that...I'll always remember that". Lantak ler ko nak gila jantan, but really! On national TV? Hardly advocacy rather than hipocracy. Kalau rasa nak open sangat - cause we all got the sense of who he was wishing to...then say the damn name je kan? Kan senang.

And Kefli...my Lord! Sengau tak abih-abih. Sapa minah dok sebelah dia masa skema RTM tu melalak...tabik spring ler aku kat dia sebab tegur "Kau jangan ler sengau cam Zamani". I think she was being nice...too nice actually...I would have made an extremely cutting remark (which would at least have been close to the reality nature of the show).

Everyone was just so plastic. Even Fuad...nangis buat-buat sangat. Aduh! I support you all the way Fuad...tapi jangan ler ngada-ngada. It IS so irritating!

Aku tension bab the kids wat ucapan. I mean...dahler sekoq dua nangis - look...korang baru seperated family berapa ari ler. Masa check in pun meka ada. Paling kuat seminggu je. Rilek ler.

You know the drill....so why sweat it.

Lepas tu wat ucapan depan kamera cam berucap! Panjang lebar sampai smuer orang kampung nak say hi! Hello? Family and closest dahler. Pada lover-lover takyah ler ek.

Fuad lak takut nak pecah lobang....and did an Aidil. To Jaja? Not her real name? Gawd...sedih tul ler perangai sekoq-sekor ni...

Aku rasa yang orang k ecoh pasal Felix cakap Dusun jek, no problem with me. Lagikpun dedication to pada orang kampung and kuarga dia. So that is their language...bio ler.

Tapi Amy ni lak...feeling lebih pulak...English all the way. Raised in London are we?

In short...the boys are trying way too hard. And the girls? Smuer cam period je....letih lesu semacam...

I really don't understand these kids! They are just so extreme. Try being normal. You were selected sebab masa audition you exuded a sense of honesty. Ni nak lakon-lakon wat apa.

I think Reza is the only one close to being himself cause I know his character. The others smuer nak tiru karekter yang meka lihat dari Akademi Fantasia I dan II. Tolonglah...

And what's the name of that bitch who is so bloody irritating with her, 'Konichiwa' every bloody time. I swear...another time she does that...I'll go down to Mines and drag her by the hair, kicking and screaming and dunk her a couple of times dalam lombong terdekat! Nak tiru Farah wat 'Breep-Breep' ler. Dream on...you don't have half the looks or character of her...

Aku tatau ler kenapa aku pissed off sangat...datang bulan ke....budak-budak ni memang smuer are not as good as they seem. I admit vocally they're better...but in terms of personality - some of them (think Yazer) strike rock bottom.

Aku rasa his IQ must be lower than the tempreature in Alaska!

Sheesh...aku malas tengok Diari Akademi Fantasia tengahari tadi. Malam ni je tengok dua-dua skali...malas nak spoil mood aku masa keja...going for a bite of makan. See you guys later.

Tirai Akademi Fantasia? Ke Sponsors Akademi Fantasia?

Who watched Tirai Akademi Fantasia yerterday night?

Burok kan? Siot jek! Waste my time anticipation abih nak tengok...and it turns out to be two hours of advertistments and sponsors who don't even know how to talk about their thing.

Cam makcik restaurant tu...yang lain pandai aa cakap sikit..."Kami ngan Akademi Fantasia because they're the number one show...so we're the number brand kasut..."...or "Seperti pelajar Akademi Fantasia III yang masih tidak begitu dikenali, kami pun brand name baru...and hopefully kita leh together-gether (mind you these are not direct quotes)".

Yang si makcik ni lak, "Kami amik Akademi Fantasia...mintak-mintak lepas ni tambah ramai pelanggan".

Like du-uh..obvious kan? Sheesh! The characters that get on TV these days!

Yang make it worse...aku irritated gila meka letak si Fuad dan Idayu wat makanan nya outlet yang sponsor. Ada ke sebab dua ekor tu tembam ko mintak meka wat pasal makanan? Hello?

Stereotyping is so uncreative! I expected more from the production team, camni lak hasilnya!
They should have renamed it from Tirai Akademi Fantasia to Sponsors Akademi Fantasia.

And the interviews? Like the mamat photographer? Gawd! What an absolute waste of time!

And shouldn't Tirai be about the kids - an introduction of sorts? Perlu ke all this....lemau tul!

And Yazer...don't let me start on that guy - I absolutely despise him. Ada ke cakap pasai Akademi Fantasia I dan II kononnya "Bukan nak pandang rendah mereka....tapi aku rock...there's never been anyone like me or" something like that. Puke! Dahler sebelum tu citer kononnya lawak pasai dia panggil Mat Salleh bodoh, then malu kerana mamat tu paham bahasa Melayu marah dia....Gawd! You are revealing just how stupid you really are! Balik Tawau jer laa camtuh!

And Aidil...another hopeless case. Pose skema yang si mamat photographer tu puji? Tolonglah sikit!

Then citer kononnya pasai dia cium anak jiran dia...kenangan konon. Ptoi! Hello...dah pecah lobang mula-mula kata "Kalau ikut badan, I minat Brad Pitt". Perlu ke nak cover line pastu?

At least nampak that sense of real arrogance bila citer pasai dia malu tergolek tangga masa control macho konon. At least ngaku gak control tak sedau.

Belum lagi masa dia nyanyi kononnya amik style orang wat cara dia...Bleurgh!!!

I don't know...the show was so bad I got irritated at ALL the students instead of loving them more.

And cam ada lak melebihkan orang...

Anyway....aku dah try upload pics tadi...line slow gila babas...So I will try upload by tonight.

Apapun...pada peminat Zahid (especially Zila) - the Festival Gendang kat Kelate tu memang cancelled sebab got rained out. Kesian dia balik dari Gold Coast kelam-kabut tuk event tu last-last tak jadi. Dahler sebab last minute rush - aku nya souvenir pun takde (Wei Zahid! Aku nak tuntut gak kangaroo ko janji kata aku!) Call dia masa tu Sunday morning dah on the way balik ngumah.

That morning budak-budak tersingkir dari Prelude tu wat show kat Plaza Alam Sentral - wat show tuk Astro Celebrity Tour.

Kecuali Marsha dan Haider ler. Meka balik kampung dulu. The other six balik petang. Meka empat hari 'on leave' tuk balik dan berehat.

Oh...pada peminat Marsha yang mintak email Marsha tu....Marsha kata leh bagi....tapi...kalau bagi pun...dia takut ada yang kecik hati kalau teramat lambat jawab sebab dia pun bukan dapat access Internet that often. Kan dah sibuk skang....

Anyway - penawar rindu nya...pics baru dari malam tu kat bawah ni...(kalau nak cam ler tak reti masuk link fotopages aku agik kan?) The rest of the pics in the fotopages gallery.

Malam tu besh gak ler. Aku tak layan sangat performance malam tu. Tengok meka wat Seribu Impian - pastu aku terus lepak belakang ngan meka. Abang M. Nasir dan kak Marlia ada skali - sempat ngumpat ngan meka sat (especially with Marlia)...usik dan buli Mawi...dan celoteh panjang ngan Marsha about everything and anything dari Jambatan Tamparuli sampai ke bab sekolah. Mungkin ada yang tau kan...Marsha ni kira sedara Linda gak tau. Let me remember this - Marsha's dad and Linda's mom adalah first cousins (sepupu ler tuh). SO distantly related gak ler.

Anyway - sempat gak chat with Vince and sister dia si Vanessa....kita citer ler pasai bebudak Akademi Fantasia III compared to the other two seasons. sultanmuzaffar pun asa masa tu...so citer pasai the similarities and differences. Nostalgia gak...bila citer bab Atie yang takleh nyanyi but fun gila....dan berbagai lagi citer, rasa nak alir air mata. Besh sangat kenangan Akademi Fantasia I.

Lepas smuer gi wat closing show beramai-ramai - aku lepak ler ngan sultanmuzaffar sangat - citer pasai bintang Akademi Fantasia I dan II - peel dan kerenah meka....and all that.
Adus! Now I realise why Akademi Fantasia affects me so much. It's beyond a TV show.

They've become my extended family. I mean...I see and 'communicate' (kira one way ler sebab aku tengok dan dengar meka - meka lak bukan leh tengok ke dengar aku kan masa kat dalam Akademi) more often perhaps than I do with my family no thanks to my work schedule.

Anyhow...the phenomenon of Akademi Fantasia may be lembab sikit this year - sebab takder surprise agik (cuba lah camne pun) and because of the early controversial selections (takder Haider, Isa, Mawi dan Marsha - dan adanya Kefli, Aidil). But whatever it is...camna pun lah aku carut yang dapat, camna aku suka yang tak dapat...I think no matter what it is...they're all part of the cast of characters - and I will always love this show called Akademi Fantasia.

Selamat datang ke Akademi Fantasia - EXCLUSIVE! -

So seperti aku janjikan....this is the collection of photos dari lawatan ke Akademi Fantasia petang tadi.

Aku malas nak type panjang-panjang, cukup gi [klubbkidd's rave]-The fotopages! for the full info and also pics collection.

Apapun...memang betul mewah habis ketiga-tiga bungalow yang masing-masing bernilai RM4-RM5 juta yang akan didiami pelajar-pelajar Akademi Fantasia sesi ini.

Terpikir panjang lak about something one of my friends said. Kemewahan macam-macam diberikan...peluang....dan lepas ni...bila dah keluar habuan dan populariti...hish!...biar dari minggu eliminasi pertama...salah ke orang mengharapkan yang terbaik?

I mean, if they don't perform with all that's given to them...rasanya..tak ada alasan yang boleh diterima.

And another thing...dengan kemewahan berserta peluang yang diberikan...kadang-kadang terfikir juga kenapa Astro tidak memberi peluang pada yang lebih memerlukan.

I mean...aku memang tak setuju dulu orang kata Edlin anak orang kaya tak patut berada di Akademi. I support promising talent tak kisah apa pun status mereka. But kalau bakat tak seberapa...dan sudahpun boleh kata diri berada...perlu ke diserap masuk ke Akademi? I prefer kalau a person is given the opportunity if they're talented AND in need of that opportunity.

No komen ler...tapi aku rasa kalao korang tengok Konsert Prelude...tau lah sapa-sapa yang tak patut.

But that's just my opinion...terpulang masing-masing untuk buat keputusan sendiri kan...
For Akademi Fantasia III...aku tetap rasa ada yang memang TAK LAYAK bergelar pelajar antara yang telah diserapkan masuk ke Akademi.

Bermulanya Akademi Fantasia Isnin ni...bermulalah sokongan peribadi aku pada pilihan peribadi aku - iaitu... Fuad, Reza, Felix, Amylea dan Elliza. Tapi entahlah...tu setakat ni, kita tunggu dan lihat ada tak yang mengejutkan dengan personality, character or even their more apparent talent in the later stages with the daily Diari Akademi Fantasia dan juga Konsert Akademi Fantasia.

Mungkin akan berubah hati aku...then. But I don't think so...we'll see....

Untuk menutup celoteh aku kali ni...buat ramai yang SMS aku...sorry tak dapat balas semua (kredit low - ujung bulan ma!)...tapi aku jawab disini saja.

Kemungkinan kejutan (kejut ke...semua mengharap tu bukan kejutan lagi tu) penyerapan balik yang tersingkir...termasuk favourite Mawi dan Marsha, nampaknya semakin hilang. Aku sendiri tak tahu apa akan dilakukan (atau tak dilakukan oleh Astro),

I can only speculate that there will be a re-entry of those eliminated....but if there is...it has to be soon. Kalau tak...rasanya...it's over for the eight as far as Akademi Fantasia is concerned.
Well...that will be the loss of Akademi Fantasia...not only theirs....

Enjoy the pics at [klubbkidd's rave]-The fotopages! for the full info and also pics collection.
Apapun....and jangan lupa, seperti biasa, tanggungjawab anda....teruskan ngan voting/undian untuk aku kat Malaysian Topblogs. Thanks guys...

Rock-a-bye-zzzzzzz

Takde benda nak posting sangat ari ni. Tension keja. Orang lain nya hal aku kena...biasa lah. Malas...Anyway...ni nak ciao da. Aku dah lah letih ngantuk.

Ni I have to go for kenduri kesyukuran Ning sebab kemenangan dia kat AIM aritu. Kat rumah ayah dia kat Shah Alam agik tuh....adus...aku rasa pastuh aku balik Klang terus lah. Tak larat lepak KL agik. Malas teramat!

Juan ikut kot (ikut tak ko?). Adus! Janji smuer tak jadi ari ni. Budak Astro tu rejek second offer aku ajak dia kuar. Kata kerja (keja dia depan kamera kat Astro so takleh cakap apa ler...dah terbukti kan...). Aku pasni ajak skali lagi dia rejek agik aku kansel nombor dia terus. Tak larat ler da tua-tua ni nak ayat main cinta ni. Main terus lain citer la!

Anyway...rasanya it'll be good to have a good night's sleep sebab aku nak awal ke Astro besok...tanak laa lambat ke Akademi kan...dan nak fresh so can be alert for exclusive news pe-pe (abih kalau orang Astro baca sini - takder ler exclusive agik!)

So see you guys tomorrow....

Ta!

Whoopie!

Yeay! Just got whoopie!Taste!Lepak opis Juan ni tak sangka lak ada yang sangkut tengah chat IRC!

Cayalah Juan! Camni leh laa tagteam ngan ko agik!

Kira ni balas kena tunggu masa proses pemangsaan kat Danga Bay yang kekeringan!

Smangat nak keja lak ari ni...ok...that's all..nak balik tidur sat agik sambil tersenyum!

Mawi and Marsha (and the gang) special!

Ni aku uploadkan koleksi sepenuhnya gambar-ganbar aku amik masa bebudak kat set Muzik@Ria tu dari malam smalam.

Hope you guys enjoy it.

But first...serious stuff. Ni ada pengunjung blog aku start ni....sila sign. Petiton ni tuk protest penyingkiran Mawi dan Marsha dan merayu kemasukan mereka kembali ke Akademi Fantasia. Please support it by clicking here to sign Petiton Pembantahan Penyingkiran Mawi dan Marsha.

Anyway...good news. Astro akan bawa media tour ke Akademi Fantasia di mana budak-budak akan check in hari Ahad nanti.

The tour is on Friday, so aku akan amik pic banyak-banyak for you guys. Apa lagi...exclusive beb!

Nak tengok...and tau surprise apa yang akan datang (kalau aku bau dulu ler)...keep reading...enjoy...

Aku takdr mood sangat. Smalam usha sorang budak keja Astro...da lama tengok dia. Smalam lak dia mintak nombor aku...aku SMS dia tak balas lak...

Tak minat ke...kes takder kredit? Who cares...malas nak layan kalau nak jual mahal....

Lapan yang tercicir

Makan hati member sorang dua bila dapat tau aku nak jumpa si Mawi...padahal kerja aku patutnyer ler nak interview lapan-lapan mereka yang eliminated tu dari Konsert Prelude Akademi Fantasia last Saturday night.

Sebab dapat info lembab sangat dari beberapa orang mangkuk hayun kat Astro, campur ngan ujan lebat dan traffic jam yang teramat dalam perjalanan nak gi Astro, aku pun sampai lambat ler. Ted followed to meet Marsha, sebab he's from Tamparuli juga. Aku gi takder excited sangat, tapi aku rasa aku paling nak jumpa pun si Marsha.

So last-last bila sampai, start interview...pendekkan citer sampai meka nak masuk wat show Muzik@Ria ealier tonight, got a chance to hang out with them, have dinner....etc.

Aku feel the best personality among them, memang tak silap laa my estimation of their character, are Mawi and Marsha (aduh...Astro...biau ler meka masuk Akademi!)

Mawi ni aku suka sebab dia straight up. No bullshit. Terus terang dia jawab. Aku citer A-Z apa orang kata..."elok Mawi tak dapat, rosak dia orang baik-baik" etc...dia gelak...Jawap pun selamba..."Aku takder ler baik sangat...."

Dan diikuti ngan trademark sengih dia tu. He is so charismatic - dan memang interview dia rasa cam interview artis nasyid entah mana...tapi dia ada aura star value sangat. He commands your attention...but doesn't demand it...if you get what I mean.

He said dia enter benda ni pun, lebih kurang for fun...but also to help his family. Sama gak a lot of kids slalu cakap...even that evening. Kira Akademi Fantasia ni ala ala skim cepat kaya halal ler. But he is so fun - and so rooted in reality - dia ni tak sombong, tak culture shock.

Kalau ada yang gelar dia kampung...aku penampo. Ada difference between being kampung and being humble. Dia adapt so easily without compromising who he is...I suppose you have to talk to him to find out how he really is. Kira at the end of the day - he's every woman's (and for some men as well) dream guy. Boleh bak balik jumpa mak nya stok ni...and his trademark gelak tu tak tahan....his upper lip stretches...ada gak gelak cam kuda tanpa sound effect!

Pastu Marsha lak...aiyo! She is so fun and bubbly. Aku rasa dia ni cam someone aku kenal. Lepas lama-lama tenung dia...carut dia buat lawak bodoh gelak-gelak ngan dia...baru aku perasan.

Bukan saja suara, tapi rupa dia...dan perangai dia yang hyper...mengingatkan aku pada Tia, pemenang Akademi Fantasia Indosiar musim kedua. Very the pelanduk dua serupa.

Panjang sangat blog entry aku kali ni nak kongsi citer masing-masing. Lagipun...Marsha and Mawi je yang catch my attention - so sorry ler kalau ada yang minat lain tu. Bukan ada kekurangan pada mereka....cuma kedua yang aku focus tu ada kelebihan tersendiri yang teramat menyerlah...Aku rasa baik kita protest kat Astro bagik Marsha dan Mawi masuk gak!

Malas nak tulis lebih...tapi kalau nak tengok lebih pics selain dari bawah masuk ler [klubbkidd's rave]-The fotopages! ek.

Enjoy the pics....and jangan lupa, seperti biasa, tanggungjawab anda....teruskan ngan voting/undian untuk [klubbkidd's rave] for Malaysian Topblogs.

Meanwhile...ada dapat SMS dan berbalas-balas ngan Zahid. Dia ngan Farah gi Gold Coast esok. Adus! Beshnya dapat jadik celebrity. You get to go palces and even sponsored for it. Damn!

Apa pun...ingat ek...ada agik citer dan pic exclusive for you guys sebab brapa ni, kita akan tour bangunan Akademi Fantasia kali ni tuk musim ketiga.

Cam ner pun, blog kidd ni akan jadi the first with the exclusive info....dedikasi gitu....apa agik...korang sokong ler ek undi dan promote blog aku. Tak sia-sia aku wat keja tak gaji ni.
Be posting more pics dari malam tadi siang kang...bye all

Fuad sah menjadi pelajar Akademi Fantasia!

Adus! Teramat gembira last night. Won't bother reviewing the show....at this point, cukup puas Fuad da jadi pelajar Akademi Fantasia III. Tahniah Fuad!

Cuma terkilan sikit tak sempat wish dia good luck...sempat cakap ngan dia see you in three months saja. Sama gak ngan Reza. Adus! Won't see them in person for another three months from now (or maybe earlier depending on sapa kuar dulu) More posts soon...I'll leave you with something I buat, tuk nunjukkan...bukan stakat bakat Fuad ala-ala mirip Zahid.

And last but not least before aku tunjuk korang hasil keja tangan aku kegembiraan ngan kelayakan Fuad smalam....this one is also exclusive.

Juga, aku akan post, url website tuk Fuad yang pertama (selain blog aku ler) yang aku dengar bernama AFUNDI FUAD!. Also malam ni baru aku akan online tuk post pics dari Konsert Prelude - sorry tak dapat gambar candid meka ler. Tak cukup masa akibat mereka kena quarantined.

24 hours to go...

Demam dah nak melanda all out. So to prepare everyone for the full scale onslaught (cam perang lak) of the beginning of the new Akademi Fantasia, aku upload beberapa pics baru dari semua musim Akademi Fantasia dalam my fotopages. Check it out...

Anyway - selain tu, ni ada pics Zahid dari press conference hari ni tuk Festival Gendang 2005. OKlah...lapar...

Lagipun tak ada idea nak tulis apa hari ni. Tak larat nak pikir.

Gambar adik Fuad

Ni gambar-gambar adik Fuad agik dari gambat kat Trek Selebriti. Saja je curik sikit pic. Slalu pic aku kena kebas...nak gak balas. Once a while ler kiranya....no more posting tonight...see you guys tomorrow...

Thursday, May 19, 2005

Lapar...

Aduh! I'm still at the office dan da kul brapa ni.

On the plus side aku da abih banyak keja aku...so aku clear sampai minggu depan! Yes! kira I don't even have to do anything tomorrow.

Tapi dok lewat-lewat in the office has its down sides as well. You get crap assignments everyone else avoids.

Case in point. News suddenly decides they want to cover the public screening of Star Wars and they want a street poll of what people think of the movie.

Bukan bak berangan...but I've been writing nine years, ingat muka aku standard kerja camtu ke? Budak-budak practical duk goyang kaki patutnya meka wat keja tu. Tapi alasan, takder transport balik kang. Ptoi!!!

Masaalah aku ke? Dah susah-susah senior....kerja berapa tahun smuer buat, ni lak budak-budak baru nak practical pijak pala. At the end of the day, ko grad pun ingat resume ko cantik sangat paper nak amik keja?

Whatever...I'm ignoring the assignment. Don't know if I'll get into trouble, but I swear it's worth it.

Am about to leave to go for dinner with Ted. Had to fax something to KWSP cause I couldn't get through their line all day earlier. Meanwhile, checked for the invitation...da masuk! Yeah!
Astro dengan sukacitanya menjemput ... ke KONSERT PRELUDE AKADEMI FANTASIA III pada Sabtu, 21hb Mei 2005 di Studio Satu, Astro, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur. Saksikan 20 peserta berentap untuk menjadi 12 finalis Akademi Fantasia III.

Yang pentingnya...tagline Akademi Fantasia tahun ni...

"Makan tak lalu, Tidur tak lena, Mandi tak basah"
"Dah terkena?"


Sesapa yang pergi, see you there....kalau tak...aku amik gambar tuk korang jer laa yeak. Papai...nak ciao gi makan. Good night, Malaysia!

Wednesday, May 18, 2005

Fever! In the morning....fever all through the night...yoou give me fever!

Aduss...aku tidur sampai kul 4 petang tadik. Seb baik banyak keja aku dah abih,. Ni ada meeting sat agik, but I thought I'd share some pics dari Nokia aku from smalam.

Sapa yang tak minat Fuad - takyah ler tengok...gurau jek. Pics banyak dia, tapi ada beberapa keping general pics. Satu pic group shot aku upload dalam fotopages.

Enjoy and see you guys tomorrow where I'll upload biodata penuh setiap peserta Akademi Fantasia III.

Esok nak kena hantar cover story tuk ari Sabtu for the Konsert Prelude.

Aduh..so sex life, no social life aku ler ngan bermulanya Akademi Fantasia ni....akibatnya....dok depan ngan TV jer laa kat @15. Oh by the way, kalau dulu nickname aku secara sah ketika musim Akademi Fantasia II ialah PenasihatZA8, nak bagitau sesapa yang kenal aku skang pakai balik nick lama iaitu KlubbKidd. So sesapa yang kaki chat @15, leh message aku kat nick KlubbKidd dan hantar ke 32999.

Tima kacih pada semua mods @15. Cayang korang smuer!

Wajah bakal anggota Akademi Fantasia III dan siapa mereka!

Untuk pics individu setiap peserta yang akan betanding di Konsert Prelude Akademi Fantasia, sila ke [klubbkidd's rave]-The fotopages! Teruskan ngan voting/undian untuk [klubbkidd's rave] for Malaysian Topblogs bagi aku smangat sikit aku teruskan keja mengambil masa tak bergaji ni.

Aku upload 20 pic individu peserta ni dengan pertolongan member aku si Juan Danza dari URS
!
(tima kasih daun keladi sunnel)!Sambung posting esok! Banyak pics dari Nokia aku aku nak kongsi ngan korang dari sesi press conference as well as sesi suai kenal ngan media gitu.
By the way...ni logo tuk AF III!



Yang pentingnya...memang sebelum ni aku dah sebut, aku ulang balik apa aku penah kata....aku feveret dah pilih! Masuk ke tak...no comment. But I hope he gets in...I'm talking about contestant Kuala Lumpur - 109 - Fuad Razlan Abdul Azri.



Kalau nak tau sesuatu...perasan tak pic Zahid yang lama? Yang promo tuk Akademi Fantasia masa mula dulu...tengok bawah kiri blog aku ada pic Zahid lama....sama konsep je adik Fuad ni. Baju kotak skali ngan jaket luar!

Si Fuad ni masa preview smalam...dahler masa diinterview Aznil, ngaku dia suka kat Zahid, pastu memang gaya persembahan dia ala ala The Orange One. Tapi bukan klon, just ala ala genre sama gitu. Sapa nampak audition dia, tau ler dia ni soulful gak, walaupun vocal tak meletup sangat. Tapi takder ler gak burok.

Anyway...the point is, I see enough similarities between him and Zahid to support him. Bukan sebab sokong dia kerana Zahid...tapi kerana suka kebolehan dia menguasai pentas dia macam Zahid which is I think such an asset. Yang lain pun bagus juga. Budak perempuan semua vocal power, tapi personality lacking sikit. The boys are all kuat dari semua segi, walaupun vocal kalah pada budak perempuan. But their uniqueness in every aspect memastikan it'll be a tight competition.

So to Reza (kira aku kenal dia gak ni)...as well as Felix, Haider...Mawi (gilaan Juan tu!)...good luck and you guys are my top six to move into Akademi Fantasia. Do your best guys!
More pics and info by noon...nak tidur sat....

Finallly!

Pertama sekali, I want to say sorry because lambat sangat for me to update my pages.
Bukan sengaja ke ada masalah apa...cuma lepas press conference Akademi Fantasia...dok sembang ngan kawan-kawa Astro dan Maestro serta keluarga Akademi Fantasia.

Sempat ler soksek ngan abang M. Nasir dan kak Marlia sebagainya nak push my choices. Best was Linda Jasmine sebab taste kita walaupun lain, ok ler...

Lepas press conference panjang lebar perkenalkan mereka lak, sambung sesi soal jawab.

Sempat ler 'berkenalan' secara tak langsung ngan Fuad, favourite aku, yang sebelum ni audition Kuala Lumpur pakai 109 (tengok sesi ujibakat episod 1 ke 2). Besh!!! Memang nak lobi Fuad je laa kalau dia dapat masuk Akademi!

But aku target dia camner aku target si Zahid dulu.

Masa press conference besh sebab jumpa geng mods dan chatters' club from @15 - paling sayang Qenari (tima kasih sebab kenalkan kat sbones)...eheheh. Juga president club iaitu stone328. Yang lain mintak maap ler tak sempat sembang panjang.

Abis tu kena interview ngan Trek Selebriti (ker Trek Fantasia) ngan Jimmy. Tanya ler pasal pemilihan dan sebagainya...abih tu lak interview ngan Tirai Akademi Fantasia lak (korang carik2 ler muka aku yang muka komunis tu ngan rambut merah and piercings everywhere tu).

Apapun...aku tetap nyatakan Fuad favourite aku kat kedua-dua interview! Amik ko!

Anyway, habih tu, sambung discussion ngan tenaga pengajar dan produksi, termasuk Adi, Aman, Rozie etc.... Dari sana, ngan one group ke coffee house lak tuk sok sek lak! Sampai kul 12 lebih gaduh sapa patut masuk sapa patut kena singkir! This time ngan geng comprising of Rozie, Aman, Adnan Abu Hassan dan Ellie Suriarty as well as member press sorang agik si Juan dari URS.

Abih Marlboro dua kotak kot aku isap! After Ellie dan Adnan balik ada hal masing-masing, kita berempat bertekak pasai sapa patut masuk, si Rozie lak kita nak buaikan sikit sebab dia antara judges pada Konsert Prelude nanti.

Anyway balik office, rush tuk news, then check, Internet connection at the office problem lak. Scanner lak dipakai, tak dapat ler nak scan pic. Apa lagi member aku yang pakai laptop takder nak transfer pic pun takleh dari phone aku etc.

But memang....kalau nak tanya aku ler...Akademi Fantasia III is going to be FANTASTIC!!!

Memang aku dah demam! Adusssss!!!! They are all good singers, and I hope this Saturday, they all really show their talent... So untuk exclusive first hand info, check back sini...I promise pics dan info yang paling tepat by around noon....ok?

Inilah bakal-bakal anggota keluarga Akademi Fantasia III

Walaupun I tak nak letak banyak pics mula-mula, adalak SMS ni...camna ni...dari member yang baca update pasal AF III ni. Demand nak gak tengok muka budak-budak...elok ke can do ke (kalau paham, paham ler).

Anyway...these pictures I have to credit kawan aku Juan Danza dari majalah URS - dia yang amik. Sebab curi-curi sikit - susah nak dapat group shot - tapi kira elok ler sebab 'action' shots kan.

Anyway, ni masa lepas meka abih briefing on the way out....

Tomorrow - aku akan upload (pray ler I do) group shot SEMUA 20 keluarga Akademi Fantasia yang baru. So kalau rajin, masuk-masuk ler tuk tengok wajah-wajah yang akan menerangi hidup kita tuk at least tiga bulan kita kang!

Semua pics akan ditambah ke [klubbkidd's rave]-The fotopages! - the extension of my blog yang da UPDATED ari ni dan of course jangan lupa, keep voting/undi [klubbkidd's rave] tau for Malaysian Topblogs kalau suka update-update aku or just because you simply love my blog.

Tunggu tuk update seterusnya tomorrow tuk muka-muka 20 peserta ek!

Mamat belah kiri tu ala ala Awie. Dia pun dapat.



Mai kita main spot the contestants! Ditemani kawan-kawan.



Ni dia peserta-peserta perempuan tuk showdown Konsert Prelude Akademi Fantasia yang berebut tempat tuk masuk Akademi.



They're here!

Akademi Fantasia has begun! Walaupun lum officially.....

Ni pics aku janji dari smalam kat Holiday Villa kat Subang masa bebudak check in. Yang ala ala nampak muka hasil tangkapan member Juan tu, aku kena post esok saja sebab tunggu my story kuar.

Apapun...ni ler citer 'stalking' budak-budak Akademi Fantasia yang baru.

Sempat gak berborak sorang dua. Nice kids...hopefully bakat leh saing senior-senior mereka.

Dan pics lain yang dijanjikan? Tunggu sambungan orang dah demam nak masuk koma akibat Akademi Fantasia ni.

Kalau tak sabo nunggu.....takleh wat per-perlah....

Dah demam???

Aku dah demam dah ni.Tahap kritikal.And getting worse.

Kalau ada baca The Malay Mail, tau lah korang latest update pasal Akademi Fantasia III. Tapi kalau tak baca ni artikelnya.

Akademi Fantasia: Early elimination
KUALA LUMPUR, May 14 : Astro's Akademi Fantasia's 20 hopefuls will check into camp today to prepare for the third season of the popular reality TV show and a few surprises.

It is learnt that their 'camp' is Holiday Villa Subang Jaya where the participants and their family will get to know members of the academy and the production and talent management teams.

They will check out on Monday and depart with their family for the start of their 'quarantine' at an undisclosed location to prepare for the preliminary concert on May 21.

Sources said the show will see the surprise elimination of a number of participants.

They confirmed that the 20 will not be checking into the Akademi Fantasia yet as only those who make the cut after the May 21 show will be announced students of Akademi Fantasia.

The curtain-raiser for the show, billed as Konsert Prelude Akademi Fantasia, will be aired live over Astro's Ria channel at 8.30pm.

Meanwhile, Tirai Akademi Fantasia, the introduction to the new season, will go on air on May 28 and 29 over Ria at 8.30pm.

The first daily broadcast of Diari AF3, which provides updates on the students of Akademi Fantasia, will air over Ria on May 30 at noon and 8.30pm. The programme will then be aired at the same time, from Monday to Friday.

Anyway, aku turun Holiday Villa tadik. Dah pun tengok budak-budak batch baru.Secara rupa leh la tahan.Suara sorang dua je aku dengar - so takleh komen sangat. We'll see. Esok aku try posting some pics dari Holiday Villa ari ni sebab Sunday aku malas turun sana.

Kalau minat nak tau yang terbaru pasal Akademi Fantasia III then baca The Malay Mail Isnin ni. Dalam bahagian berita dan SO WHAT? iaitu ruangan gosip. Ada gambar dan citer bocor terbaru. OK laa...aku nak salvage what's left of my Saturday night. Hopefully...I'll get to have sex tonight. Horny...

Saturday, May 14, 2005

Argh!!!

Had a date tadik ngan si budak aku baru kenal. Horrible. It was ok...but...argh! Entahlah. nampaknya 2005 is not going to be the year of romance.

Anyway...THANK GOD! that Akademi fantasia dah nak mula. At least that's something to do on Saturday nights.

About semalam punya posting...aku silap sikit. Bebudak Akademi fantasia III akan check in hotel tomorrow, Saturday afternoon...bukan ari ni. Kesilapan teknik sikit.

Apapun...keep tuned to this blog - casue banyak lagi cerita pasal Akademi Fantasia III yang aku nak pecah rahsia. Tu pun bila masa da sesuai baru aku cakap la.

Until then...nak tidur. Esok launching Gila-Gila Pengantin yang Fitri berlakon. Then kena do something about Akademi Fantasia III. Adalah...rahsia!!!

Wo!!! vs Wow!

The title describes it all! Atas apa yang one of the visits to my blog (Mimirinnie) said, aku check ngan EMI and meka kirim pic cover art album kompilasi yang dikatakan, Wow untuk dinilai.

Aku malas cakap apa...korang tengok korang rasa camna. Ada niat nak ciplak tak?



OK...pass your own verdict.

Anyway, updates, semalam layan si dia , last-last kita putuskan we're just friends. Boo!

Thank God aku dah de-stress by having sex on Tuesday night (not with him though!). It's amazing what sex can do for you in giving you the strength to deal with shit that comes your way.

Yeay! Remember...the kids for Akademi Fantasia check into camp tomorrow. I have more updates on date in tomorrow's posting dimana there will be more news...

Pissed!

Ok...today has NOT been a good day. It wasn't horrible for all the wrong things happening directly to me...but...it's sort of complicated to reveal.

Started past midnight - met up with ada lah someone ni. Now, flirting is always turned on when we're together, tapi malas tul aku ngan dia sebab asik gelar 'kawan'. Smalam I put my foot down...and terus kata takyah la.

Nak tunggu keputtusan awak buang masa....so let me make the decision for you.Fine...kita cuma kawan...and I think we shouldn't meet again in the near future. Dia keja Singapore...down in town for some thingie...pas aku cakap camtuh kelam kabut SMS aku mintak maap pasal our botched date.

But damage was done...and it's been affecting me till today. Moral of the story - some people are simply afraid of commitment! I claim to be the only exception to that statement (that I'm not afraid of commitment...had to stress that).

Then siang tadik orang dari station ni call. Patut ada laa program tu endorse kita sbagai official media partner.Ada ke hanjeng punya kerja red tape meka tu...meka kata takleh.Mampuslaa korang beli adveritising rajin sikit then.Buat duit...tapi smuer kemut akibat dengki manjang...tak kuasa aku!

And then I had these special pictures from Akademi Fantasia I was going to share.

Adus...disappointment tul...Aku tinggal tiga keping je nak share. Baru aku teringat, aku delete a lot of them some time back because I thought I'd never use them. Bodohnyaaaaaaa....

Now moving on from that shit hole of a day I've been facing...

The three pics left that I'm sharing actually tuk meka yang fanatik Akademi Fantasia sikit.

Takde sangat istimewa since most of my collection gone. Lebih kurang seminggu sebelum bebudak Akademi Fantasia II check into Akademi, media dibawak on tour ke facility tu.

Disana kami ditunjuk ler how the who thing works.

I think the picture is self explainatory. The first is the floor make up of the Akademi. Not that yang tulis hidden corridors (kalau tak nampak...yang line merah tu ler) terletak disebalik dinding tu yang menjadi tempat camera diletakkan sebalik cermin.

The second and third pics are the entrance of the Akademi...tuk meka yang tak penah laa singgah-singgah tengok camna bangunan tu.

Teringat wat keja bodoh ngan member, lalu highway Kajang masa Akademi Fantasia tengah panas, menjerit-jerit panggil budak-budak (bukan cam leh dengar pun). Rupa-rupanya...masa audition Akademi Fantasia baru-baru ni...ngan some fellow Akademi Fantasia fans, sembang-sembang...I wasn't the only one to do that. Apparently ramai kenalan yang lain rajin wat bising kat area sana camtu gak. Aduh!

Ok laa...tu je nak kongsi..tarak mood tul!

Kylie

I know I promised some exclusive pics concerning Akademi Fantasia, tapi sebab terbangun lambat, akibatnya tertinggal diskette which contained the pics.

Anyway, was sifting through my collection of photos, and I found this batch, which I feel like sharing.

Of course for those who know, Kylie will be performing in Singapore next month as part of her Show Girl - Greatest Hits Tour, and I really, really want to go - but at the moment - the chances seem nil.

I don't mind missing out on the show, even though it would be great to watch her do the old stuff on the tour billed as the biggest tour of the year, but I really want to interview her, but apparently, not only will she probably not grant interviews, there might now even be a press conference.

Damn the fact Kuala Lumpur always seems to get left out! yang datang semuer has beens, past their prime...or simply unpopular or that many of us just don't bother with.

Anyway, the impact of the news hammered home last Saturday when I bumped into Rizal and Adrian, some friends from an advertising agency, who revealed their plans to head south for it.
Makan hati!

Aku nak gi gak! Tapi...entahlah...Leo's messaged me today saying he'll receive his commission by the end of the month...so I'll have about US$300 in my pocket extra by then (which promises me possibly good seats since tickets are S$178, S$148, S$128, S$98, S$58), hopefully. Mungkin financially no hal...tapi...nak interview!

The last time I came within a few feet of Kylie....was at a press conference in London, which is still my ticket to boast.

Yes, thus the relevance of the pictures.

In October 2003, I was in London for Kylie's by-invite-only money-can't-buy...erm...Money Can't Buy show, which was to officially launch and promote Body Language.

Anyway...to cut a long story short, looks like chances of me coming this close to one of my idols is as good as flushed!

Aduh...nak mourning sat. Be back tomorrow with more postings. Hopefully with what I promised....

Strangely enough, celah-celah all the pics, I also found this old one of myself, I think from 2004. kelako lak tengok balik. You guys tell me...is this look better than my red mop now?

By the way pada yang minat Akademi Fantasia, ni senarai dari Malique punya blog (link ada kat bawah belah kak blog aku) listing, which apparently will go on. Aku pun takder...camner? Malique kira power gak ni...!!!

*21 Mei - Konsert Prelude Akademi Fantasia - Astro Ria (Siaran Langsung) - 8.3opm
*22 & 29 Mei - Tirai Akademi Fantasia III - Astro Ria - 8.30pm
*30 Mei - Bermula diari Akademi Fantasia III di Astro Ria - 12pm/8.30pm

Hari Isnin yang membosankan

Nasib baik I finished all my work smalam sebab kebosanan smalaman. Ari ni lega sikit except teringat overtime aku yang aku rushed to fill up.Kang ujung bulan kurang gaji aku gak yang susah!

Anyways, nothing much to share today...been a totally unthrilling day.Pas dah clear keja, buat ring tone tuk Nokia 3650 aku jerk.The song for the moment is Akon's remake of Bobby Vinton's Lonely.Akon's version jadik ringtone, while the mellower, more depressive original jadik message tone.So now every call or message...phone aku berbunyi..."Lonely...I'm still lonely...I've got nobody...to call my own", which is a very apt description of my life at the moment.

Anyways, tuk meka yang minat Akademi Fantasia, 17hb nanti ada press conference tuk musim ketiga punya unveiling pelajar-pelajar baru serta format.So masa tu confirm ke tak format aku bagik korang arituh tuk spoiler.

Mana tau kan Astro da tau pecah lobang, they come out with some last minute surprises... So anyways....until tomorrow guys...aku ada pics nak share for tomorrow...on Akademi Fantasia...something special....tungguuuuuu!!!

Monday, May 09, 2005

Overtime lupa hantar!!!

Damn...baru teringat! Have to send in overtime claims by tomorrow!

No time to blog for now...tapi sesiapa yang demand pics launching album Wo!!!, check out my fotopages. You know the link by now, right...

Bored...

The whole of Friday night leading into Saturday...and up to now has been dead boring cause everyone's been busy.

Ted's been catching up some friends...bebudak geng Akademi Fantasia smuer baru sampai KL dalam 10 lebih malam tadi. Si Farah dan Zahid terus gi Johor tak silap aku tuk Sure Heboh TV3 kat sana. Vernon is away in Genting returning about now...

Tatau sapa nak call...I've been online a big part of the night....bored to the skull...

Photo day!!!

Yeah! Korang mungkin perasan, entry the past week semua dah ada gambar mana aku earlier indicated akan letak.

Aku punya card reader masih missing in action, so petang tadi pakai laptop, guna infrared, satu-satu transfer. Jenuh aku nak transfer amik masa sejam!

Anyway, at least both my blog, and also my fotopages dah updated.

By the way, aku terjumpa pic ni yang aku amik masa gi makan ngan Bob kat KLCC a couple of weeks ago. Kelakar! Penah tak dengar air Michael Jackson??? Jangan berpikiran lucah lak!

Rupanya, soya cincau laa....black and white laa kiranya...member aku kata harus laa budak lelaki je suka....siot jek lawak!

Air Michael Jackson di KLCC!


Pada peminat-peminat Akademi Fantasia seperti biasa (walaupun dah lama aku tak update), gambar-gambar tertunggak (cam bila air lak), jangan lupa check out my Akademi Fantasia related pics at [klubbkidd's rave]-The fotopages! - the extension of my blog yang da UPDATED ari ni dan of course jangan lupa, keep voting/undi [klubbkidd's rave] tau for Malaysian Topblogs.

Also updated (rajin ni!) is the clubbing (dah nama pun klubbkidd kan) and culture in Kuala Lumpur links section terletak di bahagian kanan bawah (that's the lower left of my blog). A comprehensive collection of links of where to go and what to do in Kuala Lumpur.

I've also updated the links for blogger friends.Let me know kalau awak nak saya masukkan blog awak skali dalam senarai links saya ek....

Bye all...

A New Orange!

I don't know if it's too soon to say this, but even Zahid critics...look out. Zahid promises a new him.

And while it may be impossible to believe for the most hardcore of critics, the Orange one seems sincerely apologetic for whatever actions construed as offending prior to yesterday.

So buat sementara, I'm inclined to give him a second chance to prove he's worth putting up with and indulging - untuk bakat yang dianugerahkan. And while I can always end up the most skeptical bitch of them all, I believe him. In over nine months I've known him, yesterday for the first time, Zahid was as honest as they come, and vulnerability was apparent.

Don't ask me anymore. I'm just so proud of him that he has promised fans and critics alike to do his best.

Good luck, Zahid...I really do wish you the best.

Zahid masa nak balik after album launch Wo!!! tuk berlepas bersama bintang-bintang Akademi Fantasia yang lain ke Kulim Kedah



And what am I doing posting this at 4.30am? I have no life...and I have insomnia...

Incidentally....before I forget...the whoopie count for this month is two, with last night being minor and the night before being massive (if you undertsand ok lah) - though not with the same partners.

Back to the topic...jangan lupa dapatkan album Zahid, Wo!!! in all record stores now on CD and cassette. Ingat! Beli yang original saja!

And on that closing note for this morning....I lupa lak nak sumpah ranah smalam about this even though the sisters have (you either get this or you don't too)

"From Thursday (yesterdaylah!), the price of diesel and petrol will go up by 20 and 10 sen per litre, respectively.
The price hike was decided by the Cabinet today as part of a strategy to gradually reduce the gap between subsidised and unsubsidised diesel and cut down the rampant smuggling that led to a crippling shortage last week.

....
The last time the diesel price was increased was in March 2005, by five sen per litre, while the petrol price was hiked, also by five sen per litre, in October 2004

Opah ko! At this rate...what's in my fucking petrol tanks cost more than my fucking tin Milo punya Proton Wira. Wak lu lah!!!


Camni beli basikal je la.Keta nak bayao, repairs and maintainence, fucking hiking petrol, toll, bloody screwy jams....etc

I pay so much for such inconvenience...a big thank you to the Malaysian government as I give a two-fingered salute on behalf of the working men (and women)!

Thursday, May 05, 2005

Yawn...

Saja masuk to just blog some thoughts...but realised takder benda in my mind - mana tak nya....almost 5am! Aku stone cold da ni...tapi malas ngadap keja yang nak diabihkan ni.

Anyway...ni rushing to complete some work, because tomorrow's a busy day. As usual, Thursdays is the deadline for my gossip column, so baik aku habiskan upfront so tak terkejar-kejar.

Plan for tomorrow - kena gi Zahid's album launch at the former KL Hilton (skang Mutiara).

Actually aku takder mood nak cover tul. That boy's attitude is simply getting from bad to worse, and even MY patience has stretched to the limit. But gotta do my job...so have to be professional.

Anyway, pada mereka yang gi Kulim Kedah, kesemua budak Akademi Fantasia II (kecuali Fitri yang sibuk shooting) will be there tuk show, skali ngan penyerahan cek derma. Penyerahan cek siang Jumaat. Malam tu lak show, tatau kat mana sebab aku tak dapat ikut. Tension gak, sebab this is probably the last call for them (I know I've said that before) before Akademi Fantasia III....

Apakan daya....bos tak bagik. Aduh! But will be sending them off at Astro later sebab nak hantar si Bob dan Anding gi akibat Iqram balik kampung.

OKler...so sesapa kat Kulim, enjoy the show...

Al-fatihah...

Semalam gi rumah Bob just to lepak. Rumah kelam-kabut sikit in the midst of rearranging sebab Anding dan Ikram pindah masuk. Meriah la jadinya at least tak sunyi sangat rumah Bob.

Planning nak gi tengok Tanggang agik ngan Bob, so that can ajak Along gi supper lepas abih pementasan malam terakhir.

Tapi dalam pukul 8, Anding balik dari gym, kata dia dapat SMS yang Bat Latiff da ninggal. Kelam-kabut la masing-masing calling nak confirmkan.

To cut a long story short, kita plan tuk gi pay our last respects. Semua pakai boria hitam, and we piled into my car redah carik rumah arwah. Last-last jumpa...tapi masa tu da nak bawak jenazah ke rumah Ogy. So pas lepak jap, we made a move.

Sempat jumpa kak Ogy to wish condolences...ramai gak dari industri yang hadir...it was touching, because at moments like this, you see the much needed togetherness of the industry in coming together...evenm though it's to mourn the loss of a loved one.

Sadly enough...there was more sense of camaraderie than at AIM....I know it's morbid to draw comparisons, but just can't help thinking that the new generation of artistes and practitioners in the local music industry...are somehow just so removed from the human side of the craft.

OK...nak sambung keja wat obituary arwah...

Ning & Nikki

Pada sesiapa who was at AIM last Saturday....dah tau kan it's a confirmed thing that Ning Baizura appeared ngan Nikki, formerly of Malaysian Idol.

Well....pada sapa yang tak tengok meka kat red carpet, here's a pic of them. Ning is wearing Michael Ong while Nikki is wearing a full Zang Toi ensemble. Jewellery donned by both is of course, The Carat Club.

Pada yang perasan, though geram tak sempat amik pics langsung....Siti Charani ada skali.Pada meka yang tatau Siti Chairani tu sapa....she's of course the Indonesian sorprano yang known for training voices like Ning, who was her first student, Syafinaz...dan Siti Hajar.

Anyway...she was there...so guess whether she's there as Ning's tutor ke....Nikki skali..tanak bagitau lebih at this point, but for fans of Nikki...she is collecting material for her debut album. I've heard some of the songs she's getting, and they're quite amazing.

Expect a single out within a month or so, followed quickly by the album.

Doesn't Nikki just look absolutely gorgeous???!!!



Ning and Nikki hugging....*awww!!! How sweet! At the post party celebrating Ning's win.



The picture that made all the fashion pages of newspapers.

Tanggang

Aiyooo..heated discussion pasal AIM ni.And I wasn't even around to read my blog after posting it.Thanks everyone for your comments. Apapun perbezaan pendapat kita, I suppose deep down all of us hope for the best for our ailing music industry in our own way.

Anyway, everyone had a good holiday tak? Aku smalam bosan gila tahap gaban, ikut Bob, Anding and Ikram for a staging of Tanggang kat Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam sebab one of the actors, Along, artiste manager tuk Maestro. Sampai sana, si Mas pun da ada kat sana.

Yang gambar kenangan dirakamkan tu Bob, Anding dan Mas bersama Along, artiste manager tuk Maestro. Lain kali jumpa dia (dia bukan rambut panjang tau - tu wig) say laa hi.


Tanggang is a classic, but I have to say that it was a horrendously classic bomb. Kantoi punya amateurish siot! Bayangkan ni...

The make-up was horrible, as were the costumes! The set and props seem to be falling apart! Bayangkan ada pertukaran scene tu, setakat menggerakkan pokok dari tepi stage ke tengah stage and that's it! In another scene, watak Kenangan dikasari and she falls again the tree and the tree lak nak tombang!

In the final babak lak...tengah baru nak suspen si Tanggang nak kena sumpah ngan Mak Utih, his mother which dia tak ngaku - backdrop belakang takder, so nampak the rest of the cast ulang alik kat belakang. If that's not bad...how about one of the pegawai istana yang pakai selipar jepun??? Masa nak bersilat, baru dia perasan, siap lari kuar stage tuk campak selipar dia away.

Adus!

It gets from bad to worse.The loose script...the bad acting (Watie Elite horrible gila! Cam permaisuri gansssss).Shajiry was decent in the lead of Tanggang...but the best ones were Zamree dari Gerak Khas and Along...

The production teruk sangat sampai bayangkan tengah one of the quieter scenes, musician leh tersepak instrument! And then in another quiet scene, siap dengar bunyi berdentum bila one of the backdrop jatuh!

The audience was horrible too.Tauler masuk pree...tapi ni bak budak-budak yang bising tak abih! And cell phones ringing away drove me nuts. Lum agi keperluan Strepsils satu malam oleh audience yang siap aku dengar sorang ni terbatuk sampai dengar bunyi kuarkan kahak! Yuck!

I don't go for many theatre productions (the last pun aku gi was one at the Esplanade in Singapore cause jarang ada pementasan yang menarik kat Istana Budaya, but I do sincerely love to see more local fare.Teater bangsawan I think is underappreciated....and aku nak expose myself more to it....but I hope that future ones I'm going to won't be as bad as this.

AIMless!

AIM was indeed a night of many firsts (SM da dengo rintihan aku kan...)

Consider this...

*First time in history, ada recycled show kat AIM.Asmaradana dahler penah featured masa Festival Filem Malaysia...perlu ke jadik opening act.Kalau tau connection Tiara-Shazaly-ntv7-Effendi Nawawi...paham ler kenapa...kan?

*Kali pertama ada artis miming atas pentas AIM. Not only vocally takder benda impressive...step tak semenarik Noraniza Idris masa Sawo Matang punya (Balinese inspired choreography) dan pakai gimik terbang pun lapuk!Poetic Ammo penah wat bertahun sudah ler...

*Kali pertama group nasyid hancus! Mirwana memalukan!Pitching lari...in most parts of their song flat...bass tak cam sora bass...berangan R&B lak lebih.Costume pun ntah haper...

*Akademi Fantasia menjadi mangsa keadaan.Politik untuk jatuhkan meka dan naikkan Malaysian Idol ketara dari segi pilihan lagu and arrangement(da Jac dan Zahid ada lagu sendiri...perlu ke meka nyanyi lagu orang lain?). Pastu last-last, Dina, Zahid dan Farah backing lak Jac.Perlu ke? Padan muka lupa lirik! Industri muzik tak perlukan politik.Hanya sebab Akademi juga penganjur production Malaysian Idol...perlukan naikkan meka.Dahler Jac dan Dina tak ada pencalonan.What were they doing there??? Kalau segment reality TV....panggillah Audition skali...ngan Bintang RTM dan sebagainya...walau hancur camna pun.

*First time in AIM history...host...(Afdlin Shauki tuk tahun ni ngan Bob) wat back to back mistake.Dua kali Afdlin salah sebut kategori akan diumunkan.Apa jadik rehearsal ni...

*For the first time....ketara sangat. Industri muzik skang milik badan-badan korporat.AIM is supposed to be a celebration BY the music industry FOR the music industry.Ni lak...aku dok keliling bangang-bangang yang sokong ikut populariti...they don't know shit about music, and nak komen bising nyamuk walaupun delivery orang bagus....puji lak masa persembahan sumbang mambang.Orang kebanyakan, dan bukan industry followers jadik sebahagian music community....and people wonder why our industry has become what it is today.

*Anugerah Kembara menjadi milik Siti Nurhaliza buat kali kedua.Why is this a first...Maybe Akademi patut jelaskan bagaimana pilihan dibuat untuk penerima anugerah 'self-nominated' ni.Malas komen lebih.

*Post party yang dahulunya sejak kali pertama aku hadir AIM dan post party dari tahun 1996, smalam jadik kenduri kat rumah Kak Kiah! Takder security! Takder exclusivity.And like AIM itself...unglamarous!So jangan tertanya kalau artis ramai malas ke post party

Bukan semua yang buruk...as this year actually AIM better than tahun lepas...but who cares?
For the past eight or nine years, music industry merosot....ni baru nak celebrate naik sikit...politik, dan kepentingan peribadi dominates our music industry.....

Ramai lupa AIM merupakan MERIT award...bukan popularity award. Yang patut menang kalau menang dicaci sebab artis kegemaran tak dapat award.Yang tak menang lak over popular artistes dilupakan walaupun their work is much better. Shame on you AIM! Kepada Persatuan Akademi Industri Muzik Malaysia...shame on you!

I'm glad Ning menang empat....walaupun tak dapat Best Vocal Performance In An Album (Female). But there's little to celebrate from last night as opposed to what depresses me....AIM?

Boo!

The only other reason to celebrate? Dapat lepak amik pic peluk ngan Adam Sheila on 7.Yeah!!!
By the way, jadik gak baju aku design sendiri malam tu....and kumbali laa aku ke alam rambut kemerahan....

Rambut dua - tiga minggu lalu went platinum blonde. Malam AIM lak merahkan saja tension tatau apa nak buat. Lum lepas rambut jumpa Adam Sheila On 7, tak sempat lepas rambut lak. Amik pic rupa cam nenek kebayan bersanggul! Janji ngan Adam! Pastu dapat lepak ngan dia agik!
