Peminat yang terlampau dan eksploitasi!!!

Aku da berkali kali talked about this, tapi nampaknya ada bangsa yang samaada tak sedar diri...ataupun muka tembok besar China!!!

I am so fed up ngan cita orang merempuh majlis kerana fanatik dan juga peminat yang biadap!

Tapi benda tu terjadi lagi sekali depan mata aku sendiri serta pada kengkawan malam tadi ketika sambutan Merdeka di KLCC.

It all started masa aku ajak Juan tuk join aku wat liputan acara kat KLCC. So, kita pon awal-awal da gerak daripada Bangsar about just after 3pm.

Lepak KLCC sat sebab aku malas jalan jauh dok parking sana je memandangkan traffic jam in KL starting to build up dah.

Lepak punya lepak...terserempak ngan beberapa orang geng fan club seorang bekas pelajar Akademi Fantasia III yang aku menci sangat (baca bawah sikit - ada penerangan lebih pasni pasal student ni yang aku da blacklist). Meluat aku...malas nak layan...meka ni geng GG (gila glamer) yang melampau tak terkira...cakap banyak...whatever ler. Geli tahap cipan kalau nak layan meka ni.

So pastu after bought some stuff, gerak gi Mandarin Oriental sebab janji orang Petronas nak meet up along ngan the rest of the media kat coffee house sana tuk amik tag tuk wat liputan sebelom kami ramai-ramai langkah ke tapak konsert.

Sampai je...aku da kurang senang.

Dan perasaan tu bertambah bila one of the mamat from Petronas punya corporate comm (my sister's friend yang ex-journalist gak aku kenal since I was 14) tanya aku pasai beberapa orang yang hadir at the dinner gathering, sebab aku kenal most fellow members of the press.

Aku naik malu. Bukan apa...aku tanak sebut nama sesapa...tapi kalao da bukan media, bukan wartawan...mahupun penulis...tapi kalau pangkat tu peminat...or stalker...or whatever laa description yang sesuai ngan ko....jangan ler ngaku ko media ataupun merempuh majlis orang dan in the end pakai tag media yang diberikan pada meka yang bertugas sebab sibuk nak amik pic tuk jadi bahan GG.

YOU ARE NOT WORKING PRESS!!!

Kalao ko invited by the organisers, tu priority organisers...tapi kalao da repeat of another incident...look...wake up and smell the coffee.

Aku rasa offended sangat. Aku da almost 10 years in this business. And it's frustrating how some people think this job is all about schmoozing! Suka ati mak bapak ko nak gelar diri ko wartawan sebab nak GG. Huh....Kalau da tak dapek invitation, don't parade as something you're not.

Function tu was strictly for press and associates! You had no reason to be there. Hanya kerana orang beradab tanak tegur - jangan lak pikiq hang nak wat agi. Tu pun orang corporate comm da dok tanya aku memacam - aku hanya mampu jawab, "Biasalah..." Malas nak cakap apa-apa.

Hey...I used to be a fan that did everything I could to get backstage and all. Tapi masa aku zaman tu, aku dok sneak in backstage area pas show (tu pun beli tiket ok ke show tu) tuk jumpa Paula Abdul and also Gloria Estefan.

Kalau cam bebudak Akademi Fantasia...ko da berapa kali amik pics ngan meka and all... so pehal ko nak force yourself in berapa events back to back nak GG. Adus.

Syukur gak tag media pun tak dapek ke backstage sebab tight security yang menghalang...kalau tak tatau ler apa agik akan jadi.

Apapun, on the way nak gi show tu...aku prasan...memacam benda yang terjual ngan muka dan nama Mawi atau World.

Huh...amik kesempatan abis abisan ler orang-orang skang.

Tergeli sat tengok baju yang inferior quality print with the blurry pic of Mawi.

Apa da...kalau tegur kan...ada je...

Cam dulu penah sorang bagi alasan wat benda camni kat aku..."ala Mawi patut tima kasih kita wat camni...bantu populariti dia".
Opah ko...! Banyak cantik punya statement. Mana belajar? Dari press statement magazine tu yang kaut kentungan ngan kuar majalah tu ke?

On to the show Merdeka... kira best gak ler. Yang penting, nampak ler dominasi dan influence bebudak kuarga Fantasia on the crowd. Suka performance Mawi tuk Aduh Saliha, as well as Seroja yang dia perform ngan Bob dan Zahid.

Speaking of Zahid, aku suka yang dia wat ngan Poetic Ammo and that other group whose name escapes me. Then that fusion act Prana...pergh! Power! Mmm...Marsha was great too...but I really have to ask...couldn't we have done without Helmi Gimik tu? Tolong le....Adam dan KRU was fun...

The lagenda rock segment amazing!!! Aku tetap kow-tow Amy Search as the real rocker!
Tapi beberapa soalan aku terpaksa tanyakan...kenapa ler yang konon anak-anak Merdeka memalukan ngan perangai kutu rock haus meka tu ngan gaduh celah crowd sambil baling-baling botol???

Kenapa ler Leonard Tan perform sedangkan bukan aja one (minor) hit wonder? Kenapa ler Helmi Gimik lak sibuk wat Chinese song? Daj tak cukup ke Chinese singers sedangkan ramai mengharumkan nama negara kat Taiwan and all. Paling tidak usaha ler amik Vince!

Kenapa ler Ahmad Fauzee tak sedar hairstyle dia tu outdate by 40 years?

Kenapa ler dancers tu semua ala dari Jinjang Utara (actually that comparison pun menghina bagi penduduk Jinjang Utara)

Kenapa ler mangkuk bodoh back up dancers masa Poetic Ammo tu bangap sangat time letupan api orang da warning da, masih nak dok dekat pyro arrangement tu...sikit agik nak kena bakar.

Pas show, aku dapat tag artiste lak dari Shima, personal assistant (ke manager...sorry Shima) abang Afdlin after dok tepi tu nak feel head-banging masa Highway Star by lagenda rock yang tengah perform.

Anuar, and most of the acts involved in the show aku penah banyak kali deal with...so no hal ler aku move freely.

Kekecohan yang timbul - ni ke jiwa merdeka???



Anyway, pastu Juan join dalam backstage area nak wat photography dan interview sat ngan Mawi, Marsha, Zahid, Farah dan Bob yang ada together dalam bilik tuk Maestro.

Aku dok soal jawab casual informally ngan Mawi...lama gak tak catch up ngan dia. Call pun tak sampai ati nak gayut walaopon banyak benda nak tanya personally as a friend sebab terkenangkan mamat tu tidur pon tak cukup.

Ngan Marsha takyah sebab the night before gayut cita ngan dia da...the first real talk we had since konsert penyerapan kembali. Yelah..sejak kuar Akademi dok sibuk je schedule.

With my baby sis...miss Marsha! Ngan Mawi skali...amik ko. Takyah rempuh, tarik atau paksa ek!



The latest addition to the topbloggers family, Afdlin ngan Mawi punya photo op!



So after we're done, ada agik satu agik episode alkisahnya seorang peminat yang berkaitan kes diatas.

Bebudak di rush oleh security masuk ke bas terakhir yang digunakan tuk transport artist kembali ke hotel. So ada ler mamat tu cuba ler nak amik pics tuk jadi bahan GG or whatever ler dia nak call it.

Da orang kelam kabut and all - cam ler ko takkan ada peluang agik nak bergambar ngan orang tu. Tak silap aku, Sabtu lepas baru bergambar ngan Mawi.

Ni tak hirau keadaan, dok luar tunggu cam stalker...cam penunggu pokok kat Seksyen 2 Shah Alam...nak gak!

Akibatnya, sambil security tengah heret Mawi nak jalan ke bas sambil jerit, "Cepat! Bas nak jalan...bas terakhir da" amidst the chaos sebab security reasons, mamat ni dok selamba badak secara kasar, tarik dan peluk Mawi nak bergambar gak sambil grabbing his shoulder dan collar baju Mawi, tanak lepas paksa gak bergambar.

Mamat ni tak hiraukan kekasaran dia tu...sama seperti dia ignore management yang dok bengang sebab dia kurang ajau...ataupon mamat security yang dok tengah beng gila sebab attitude mamat ni yang leh jerit, "Kejap je..kejap je" sambil holding on baju Mawi tanak lepas.

Seb baik baju Mawi tak rabak!

I'll just say one thing...ko nak wat perangai camna aku leh diam. Tapi when it comes to any of the kids...you don't lay a f****g finger on them! Who the f**k do you think you are nak kasar camtuh ngan adik-adik aku sebab ko nak dok GG sangat. Dasar p*****k lahanat sial!

P*****k punya kurang ajar!!!

Wei...tak malu ka??? Dah laa bukan peminat Mawi. Sanggup tompang apa je opportunity nak GG. Cam sial!

Aku panas gila masa tu...rasa nak penyepak je. Mentang-mentang artis dan pihak pengurusan takleh bersoara sebab terpaksa nak diplomatic ko nak lelebih. Silap aribulan memang kena penyepak ngan security masa tu...poyo tul!

Mungkin ramai tak sedar, tapi aku dan blogger seperti Juan Danza adalah wartawan, dan blog ni kira catatan sambilan diari harian kami dalam melaksanakan TUGASAN kami...kerjaya kami sebagai anggota media.

Blogger cam Sultan Muzaffar lak...sekenalnya aku...tak penah lak merempuh event orang, apa agik kalau langsung tak di ajak. Takder hard-up pun. Sedangkan cam konsert KLCC tu aku tak ajak dia sebab benda tu...tuk meka yang wat liputan pada media rasmi jer.

Tak penah dia nak force himself on others to get into places...only with his OFFICIAL contacts, which I salute.

So pada yang GG...please play by the rules...or sooner or later...ko makan gak kasut aku! And oh...don't bother nak tegur tanya aku or explain anything to me, cause I'm simply not interested. Orang yang berkasar ngan Mawi camtu kononnya atas nama minat tu...padahal GG...can just f**k off and die! No one touches my kid brothers and sisters.

Setakat baru mula blogging berapa bulan...orang da dok kenai dan rapat ngan bebudak ni dari Konsert Prelude...don't think too much of yourself. You may find you're outnumbered and outwitted by the people around you who ARE in the business.

Sepanjang balik perjalanan balik hotel, sekali joined by PA Zahid, si Aypul dan housemate Zahid sorang agik (sapa nama mamat tu ah..lupalak) kita dok cita laa pasai peminat over.

Tak turun ler temprature akibat tu. Sampai kat hotel lak...lagi satu hal. Bebudak naik bas lum sampai. Kita dok tunggu sebab one of my adik nak tumpang us home. So dok ler tunggu bas artis.

Ya ampun!!! Bas sampai je..Mawi turun...kena serbu tak hengat!!!

Walaupun I think dalam 50m dari bas...masuk lobby ke lif Mandarin Oriental...kurang ajar gila ada peminat-peminat yang extreme tu sampai mengulangi perbuatan mamat tadi tu tarik-tarik baju Mawi, sambil tak kurang yang tolak laa...berkasar. Aku hanya mampu dok diam tengok si Mawi kena kasari...oleh pihak yang kononnya meminati dia...dan juga pihak yang terpaksa wat sebegitu tuk jaga dia.

Pas da reda sikit kekecohan, aku pon naik ler ke bilik adik aku sorang ni. Sempat gi hoo-ha kat bilik Zahid skali ngan adanya Aypul dan Hapiz.

Masa balik bilik adik aku ni...terbukak cita peminat overdose ni.

Dia pun cita apa terjadi masa dalam perjalanan.

Masa tu peminat mengerumuni bas artis. So anyway, masa tu adik aku yang anggota kuarga Fantasia ni yang dok tepi tingkap dok perasan ada peminat lambai...so dia pon lambai.

Pastu dia perasan ler sekumpulan peminat ni signal marah-marah. Rupanya demanding lak nak mintak Mawi mai sebelah tu layan meka.

Adik aku pun try ler panggil Mawi. Tapi masa tu Rahim Maarof lak tengah dok tanya benda kat Mawi...so sebab tanak kurang ajar potong cakap artis senior, adik aku mintak ler peminat bersabar sebab bas pun lum gerak.

Nak tau apa yang jadi?

Seorang makcik ni maki-hamun ngan isyarat tangan agresif (tak ler dengar...tapi kalau tangan da ala-ala wat senamrobik bersama Perdana Menteri sambil muka marah tu apa lagi). If that's not enough...dia capai something yang tak sempat di cam...dan campak ke tingkap!

Kurang ajar tul!

Adik aku pun panas tapi tak wat apa-apa...dia gi panggil Mawi dan bagitau ler..."Mawi...tu...peminat ko!"

Kesian tul kekadang aku tengok Mawi tersepit ngan fanatik ni. Golongan ni extreme dan taksub dan tak sedar diri sangat da sampai Mawi sendiri banyak kali tegur camtu, meka masih sanggup biadap, kurang ajar...dan berkasar tuk try and get anything they can from him!

Nama peminat konon...perangai camtu ler yang akan menjatuhkan kononnya yang meka gelar idola.

Atas dosa 'peminat' fanatik ni ler Mawi akan dihukum kang....

Hah...lum abih aku lepas geram ni...

Dalam tension aku sebab benda-benda ni...aku kira skang da relaxed banding dua-tiga minggu ni yang aku dok tension.

It all started on Monday, my pet Maltese, Princess diagnosed da advanced cancer, so kena hantar vet. Tatau ler kena put to sleep or leh operate. So after 24 hours of absence, she was returned home with ten stitches and in recovery from her operation. By the way, the vet says they removed five growths or something like that, but the cancer is still spreading so it's only a matter of time.

But still at least ada ler mood aku happy she's back.

Tambah agi aku puas ati sebab hari sebelum masa kat acara futsal kat Ampang yang melibatkan keluarga Fantasia, aku berjaya gak lepas geram!!!

Aku buat kali pertama dalam sejarah Akademi Fantasia, aku da putuskan, DUA orang bekas pelajar Akademi Fantasia da kena blacklist ngan aku!


Aku malas nak sebut sapa sebab kalao perangai meka cam lahanat...tu hak meka la. Bukan lama pun bertahan kalau stakat keluar awal (no komen sapa!)

The first is an absolute BITCH (aku sebut ni da ramai leh agak) and the other POYO, so pepandai ler nilaikan bebudak ni sebelum minat, kalau tak buang karan je sokong orang takde masa depan dalam industri ni ngan perangai berangan superstar meka walaupon sifat perasan meka melebihi bakat.

Mula-mula aku ok jer bila sampai venue. Tapi da laa ada budak ni berangan nak mampos!

Sedangkan Mawi dan Marsha yang sama rapat ngan aku tak penah kurang ajar atau lupa diri...sekoq ni yang final pon tak dapek...berangan nak mampos...wat hal. Tambah agi ngan cita poyo dia aku dapat dari orang Astro dan Maestro serta beberapa orang luar yang kena mengena pasal kepoyoan dia...naik meluat tahap gaban aku! Dahler aku da bersabar dia wat hal ngan aku.

Ni wat malu aku je bila selama ni kita dok cakap orang dia leh ubah (as if!) tapi dok asik wat perangai. Tapi satu je aku nak katakan...kalau da show free...tu pun ko nak rayu mintak sanggup buat tak dapat payment, bila orang lain tolak sebab sibuk, jangan berangan nak mintak token payment lak...(mentang-mentang takde show langsung)

Kita naik sakit ati, tegur cara baik, kurang ajau lak! Dahler tak hormat...sedangkan keluarga Fantasia dari musim satu dan dua semua masih respect and cherish my advice (bukan mintak apa pun - tapi tu ler simbiosis kerja kami sebagai artis dan wartawan)

Apa lagi champion cam Mawi...ataupun finalists yang semua real to themselves, takyah nak berlakon and act as if meka all that. Jumpa sibuk mana pun...tak kerek! Aku bangga nak katakan Mawi dan Marsha camna pun...sebelum masuk Akademi...hingga skang still remain the same.

Sibuk mana...meka ingat kat orang yang percaya pada bakat mereka!

Anyway - dalam aku selama ni banyak mengalah (ye lah...kalau gaduh sorang jadi api sorang agik kena jadi air kan)...ari tu kat futsal aku naik hantu! Tapi takde penyesalan! Ramai yang dapat tau aku ngamuk...stuju budak tu memang kena be taught a lesson. And boy...is he going to learn one. Ko kalao aku da cakap bebaik ko nak ada hati nak carut nak fitnah aku, ko leh gi mampos! Ko lutut depan aku mintak maap dulu sebelom ko nak mengharap skalipon apa yang ko buat ada harapan tuk dimaafkan aku! Apapun...what you do comes back to you three fold...so wait for it!

Gi je laa makan duit mak bapak ko tu...nak jadi artis jangan harap ler ngan perangai syok sendiri!
Anyways...malam tu sempat ler celebrate ngan Juan dan Sultan Muzaffar yang turut serta ke event tu.

Apapun, happy Merdeka...and try remember why we're celebrating it. Happy 48th birthday Malaysia!

Tahniah Mawi!!!

EXCLUSIVE!!!

Ni berita terbaru yang aku terima.

Benda ni akan keluar suratkhabar esok!

Penjualan serta confirmed orders tuk album Mawi World skang total at 104,000!!!

The breakdown is 66,000 CDs dan 38,000 cassettes.

And if that's not enough...yang aku dengar gak dari sumber rasmi...masih ada banyak order yang masuk kerana permintaan tuk album live tu melampau sangat, sehinggakan order masuk sampai skang.

Standby orders to date mencecah 150,000!!! Once this is confirmed dalam beberapa hari ni, dan segala stok telah dihantar kesemua kedai (kerana proses ini memakan masa termasuk untuk mendapatkan security sticker hologram), Mawi akan dapat anugerah platinum kembar enam or six time platinum award for the sales.

Selain tu jugak, harus tau...sekali confirm je cecah 150,000, Mawi akan dinobatkan as the best selling male artiste in Malaysian music history kerana memecahkan rekod yang dipegang Awie yang hanya berjaya menjual 135,000 ke 140,000 untuk album Tragedi Oktober.

Aku akan updatekan lewat sikit pics terbaru Mawi...petang ni ada futsal yang akan melibatkan selebriti Astro termasuk Sazzy dan Awal as well as keluarga Fantasia termasuk Felix, Yazer, Akma, Fuad dan Elliza serta beberapa orang lagi. Zahid pun mungkin...

Stand by for updates and keep voting my blog y'hear!

*Oops! Ni update terbaru. Baru dapat confirmation dari Sony-BMG. Album Awie dok jual 220,000!!!

So that means Mawi jauh sikit ler lagik kena kejau Awie punya record. Tapi kira second best ler dia.

More updates lepas aku balik dari futsal kang...

Gathering Gol & Gincu

Ye...ye...penuh kemeriahan tul gathering malam semalam...

Sayang je...aku sampai lambat tak sempat tonton wayang skali ngan 50 something meka dari online community yang di himpunkan oleh Sultan Muzaffar kat TGV KLCC.

Aku sampai rumah petang smalam melantak pastu membadak...sedar-sedar da beribu lemon punya miss call dari Sultan Muzaffar. Time tu pun da half past eight, so rush ler.

Sampai kat panggung, Sultan Muzaffar da frantic call aku tanya berkali-kali kat mana.

Sampainya aku tepat 9.20. Terbayangkan sempat agik join the gang nak tonton Gol & Gincu (ye laa...ikut time 9.10 start...abih...iklan ala ala Akademi Fantasia Xtra-xtended panjang nak mamposssss). Tapi...ado???

What happened was set ngan Sultan Muzaffar jumpa kat entrance. After awhile looking for each other...I realised I made a dreadful mistake...how could I???!!!

Patut nya gi TGV KLCC. Entah apa laa serabut pala aku sampai aku tengah dok tengah crowd kat GSC MidValley. Adus...harus ler kena carut ngan Sultan Muzaffar.

Sampai KLCC bout past 10 call bagitau ketua kompolan kanak-kanak Ribena yang aku da sampai and then cam orang tak betul...pusing ler KLCC. Nampak ler si Rina dari Konsert Prelude Akademi Fantasia ngan husband dia...tanak kacau aku...nampak romantic je meka.

Lepak punya lepak...I came across the group later.

Ada ler beberapa orang yang da kenal...termasuk Mama ZAryna Darai and CD (matilah ko dinch pec lobs Three Beauties). Some more familar faces cam Elkapitan (ke kepitan???) dan beberapa warga bloggers yang lain as well as some people I didn't know...but have dropped by my blog before.

Sorry sesangat ler pada semua kerana blur sikit semalam...and thanks for all the compliments and supportive words for my blog. It's nice to know there are people reading and appreciating my efforts...tak bazir masa ler kira aku sengkang mata update kekadang ni...)

Apapun...aku tatau ler apa plan malam ni...wat skang nak balik membuta...cause I want to go out tonight...but for some strange reason, I feel a calling to just sit my ass home.

Tengok laa camna...

Don't ask for more

I was editing my post for this entry and benda ni tiba-toba hang (sial punya PC).

So malas nak tulis panjang-panjang agi. Takde masa. Just the gist of what happened ler cukup ok...

I had so much fun kat press conference Vanilla Coke semalam!!! Bukan sebab function best ke apa...tapi sebab kesemua 14 bekas pelajar Akademi Fantasia ada skali.

Semua dapat relax and just have fun after the event was over. Seronok...but the best was nak catch up ngan Marsha and Idayu. Aku tak sempat nak bual ngan Marsha da lama gak...sejak Bora Ombak punya Akademi Fantasia Media Appreciation Party sebab tak dapat call dia masa dia balik Sabah aritu kerana da tukar nombor phone.

Huh...amik ko! Ada ke lupa bagitau aku....Tapi lepak punya lepak...lupa lak nak nak amik gambar Marsha walaupun yang lain semua lengkap aku amik! Sori Marsha...cayang you...

Of course, thanks to Amylea, you strong soul for the time we got to talk over those things so many people take for granted and all. You are one hell of a strong soul!!!

Sempat usik Akma lelebih...(jangan marah...tapi nak tanya muka tu merah padam ke sebab make up *tergolek kat lantai gelak sat) Amy...hope we get to make that movie soon without Zai!

Ekin lak rambut ala Christina Aguilera in Lady Marmalade...amboi...extensions tak ingat! Cantik lak! Tambah kiut muka tu. Kefli and Yazer were so much fun to be with yesterday...(soal nama tu melekat ek?)

Birthday boys si Mawi dan Reza sibuk jadi centre of attraction, Felix lak tiba-tiba muncul walaupun dikatakan tak jadi mai because he had this thing...sakit perut ke something. Dahler dengar masa dia kat Johor shooting ngan Marsha (ada drama Raya tuk TV), dia demam...

Aidil looked his best-dressed (he really is one of the most impeccably groomed lads ever) while Fuad looked a little tired.

Anyway masa kat event tuh aku nak amik pics dua couple paling popular...Ekin dan Yazer dan sekali Felix dan Akma....tapi kedua Felix dan Akma seolah melarikan diri menjauhkan diri dari each other, so I couldn't exactly get a shot of them together.

At any rate...jangan risau kerana aku akan gak amik pose Felix dan Akma sekali tuk jalankan voting couple paling manja...

Yazer dan Ekin as usual sporting gila babas...takyah susah-susah aku nak pujuk meka nak pose tuk aku amik pic meka bersama tuk blog. Amik ko... manja tak? Tapi...seriously...meka ni...nothing between them ler...

Ok..kalau nak tengok more of the pics yang aku amik exclusive masa time lepak ngan meka...click [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages. Click, click jugak...vote jangan lupa....

Bawah tu tekan je link bebanyak yang tulis vote ataupun undi ke click memana gambar kat sini tuk be redirected to vote...

Anyways, balik je...dapat berita tergempar. Album The Best of Mawi World (yelah last posting aku aku letak kan...) da capai 81,200 unit. Ni termasuk unit terjual serta confirmed orders yang diterima sehingga petang semalam. Kira dia best selling ler setakat ni tuk tahun ni... Apapun - mintak-mintak bila album Mawi kuar tengah bulan Oktober kang...camni gak sambutan.

Tarikh release album solo Mawi adalah Oktober 17...hapal tau?!

Album-album EVO, by the way...untuk everyone's info...lanjutan maklumat sebelum ni mengenai album kompilasi EVo tuk tahun ni...akan keluar pada tarikh-tarikh ni ye... Sept 12, 26 dan Oct 3. Dua minggu kemudian giliran album solo Mawi. Celah-celah tu...ada lagik release album live iaitu tuk top 5, tuk Felix, Amylea, Marsha dan Yazer. Tuk pelajar lain pun ada, tapi merupakan album gabungan. Jangan lupa gak...Linda, Bob dan Zarina...as well as Adam dan Kaer pun tak lama agi release their own solo albums. Kes pecah tabung ni...

Apapun...the night ended mixed cause aku tetiba banyak keja (tak cukup tidur sial!!!) walaupun patutnya cuti. Masuk office nak serahkan column aku tuk Isnin depan...tiba-tiba kena wat cita album Mawi lak boom kat pasaran. Then nak risik pasal betul ke si Normala Samsuddin nak tie the knot yesterday night (berahsia sangat!).

Siap kat office sampai dalam kul 2 pagi.

Si Juan Danza lak ngadu...ada problem blog dia. Tuk pengunjung blog Juan, please note there was some technical thingie kat blog dia, and somehow benda tu ilang terus. Apapun - his blog is already back online, walaopon akan mengambil masa kot nak recuperate. Lawat-lawat ler...jenguk-jenguk ler.....

Sabau jer ler Juan...adus...aku baru nak rilek sikit bab trauma aku ko lak nak sambung...jangannnn!!!

Anyway...I have to say....at this point of my emotional state. Aku dah reached this height of numbness. Tapi semalam...I got a sign...don't ask me what it was and all...but I don't know if I'm reading too much into it....but to that person....thank you for showing it to me...if you meant to ler.

Ke aku terbayang-bayang sendiri je...imagining things. Apapun...here's to seeing how things go.
Ok ler...tertidur kat office tadi...ni nak gerak balik nak melantak dan sambung membadak!

Malam ni nak join Juan, Sultan Muzaffar dan para bloggers dan kengkawan online lain tuk gi tengok Gol & Gincu! Aku dengar Sultan Muzaffar the 'guest list' dah cecah over 50 plus names. Ouch! Booking satu panggung jer ler wak...Apapun...ni nak balik dulu...jumpa-jumpa petang ni ek pada sesiapa yang join gathering bloggers malam ni...

Jangan lupa tuk check out the latests pics in [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages ...and remember to...

Wowiee Mawi!!!

Untuk pengetahuan semua...ni berita terkini...penjualan album 'live' Mawi koleksi lagu-lagu persembahan dia masa konsert-konsert Akademi Fantasia telah mencapai jualan 81,200 unit sekaligus mengiktirafkan Mawi sebagai artis ngan jualan album paling tinggi tahun ni setakat ni ler.

Mmm...camna lak kalau album baru dia kuar kan...

Lost


Pada Reza...Fitri...and of course exspecially Mawi...happy birthday ler. Semoga ngan sambutan hari lahir tahun ni...dah tercapai impian ko nak memulakan mengorak langkah dalam dunia seni ni.

Happy pagik tadik call Mawi nak wish...mula-mula dia tak sambut panggilan.Pas da SMS dia balas balik...baru call dia skali lagik yang dia angkat. Gelak gak layan dia...it's nice to hear everytime that Mawi hasn't changed.

Apapun...pastu call Fitri gak. Panjang gak bual. Ye lah...lama tak hang out...

Apapun...semalam has been the most fun for me in the last two weeks.

Mula-mula takde plan apa.

Then pastu, aku gi function launching album Ruffedge baru, Ruffera.

Bosan tahap gaban! Sebab peminat ramai sangat. Entah dia wat album launch ngan media ke...atau bak press nak saksikan meet the fans session.

So lepak ah ngan Zahid dan bebudak lain sok sek.

Last-last planning gerak ngan Juan Danza nak ke Maestro nak amik ler promo copies of Akademi Fantasia III punya Konsert dan Diari yang da lama tak gi collect.

Aku sampai lambat sikit sebab jalan semua jam. Tu ler seksanya naik keta.

Sampai sana...Akma dan Yazer ada. Bagus gak because I haven't had sessions to really talk to them.

So lepak ler talk ngan Akma about Felix (disebabkan blog ni public sangat takleh ler cita details)
Pastu lepak ngan Yazer.

Juan pastu balik ngan photographer dia.

Tanya Yazer sapa kat rumah...rupa-rupanya...si Azlif balik Johor. Si Haider hilangkan diri dan Felix shooting kat Johor. Isa lak kat rumah katanya.

So call ler Isa, rupanya dia kat MidValley ngan kakak sedara dia. Ajak ler dinner...Yazer pon nak join. Si kakak sedara si Isa ni pemalu orangnya, tapi bila dengar Yazer ada skali...punya laa laju dia stuju nak join! Pergh!

So we went to MidValley...si Yazer nak control badan, so we settled for his choice of McDonald's (jaga badan hapernya??!!)

Hantar semua balik da...masa kat Pantai Hillpark pas drop Isa dan Yazer, serempak member aku si Watie, yang dok sana satu phase.

So aku pon lepak ngan dia. Masa tu sebenarnya nak tunggu Bob abih shooting...punya laa banyak plan tetiba.

So in the end lepak rumah ngan Isa dan Yazer, Watie lak gi ajak kengkawan dia member Bob lak join supper lak.

So we went to hang out in Bob's area tu lantak ngumpat and catch up sampai about 3 in the morning. Yazer tak jadik sebab dia nak lepak rumah nak study lagu baru dia tuk recording.

Ok ler...this is the first time in my two week holiday yang aku rasa my mind taken off that person.

Malam tu tidur rumah bebudak sebab nak hantar Isa ke KL Sentral pagik tadik...takut tak sempat lak sebab aku dok Klang.

We had breakfast pas lepak ngan Yazer dan Kefli yang sampai nak pick up si Yazer nak ke Maestro.

Bebudak keempat belas orang kompol sana tuk sesi make up sebab kul 3 sebentar lagi ada press conference tuk Vanilla Coke. Aku tengah kelam kabut abihkan blog dan keja ni sebab nak gegas sana.

I know this would sound almost ridiculous....

But what would my life be without Akademi Fantasia...

Mawi : Kenangan pahit. Peminat yang fanatik dan taksub!




Apa laa..kalau nama peminat, tapi sampai tahap lupa diri.

Benda ni....aku da awal-awal posting bila mulanya ombak tsu-Mawi melanda Akademi Fantasia.

Masa tu, ada peminat yang kurang senang bila timbulnya pertikaian pada gelagat mereka, dan debat hangat mula melanda mengenai kononnya mereka yang anti-Mawi (yang memang saya tak nafikan kewujudan).

It came to the point sehingga aku sendiri pernah di anggap anti-Mawi sebab menegur fans of Mawi in my posting, tuk perangai mereka yang kadang-kadang tidak menyenangkan bagi banyak pihak.

'Over'...memang 'over' kekadang. But then again...I suppose when you're the one screaming away and ignoring the discomfort of the person next to you, the last thing you'd want to admit is that you've gone overboard.

Apapun...dengar sendiri ler dari Mawi sendiri, apa kenangan manis, and especially pahitnya setelah selesainya Akademi Fantasia.

Kalau orang lain tegur peminat fanatik, meka melatah....kali ni dengarkan lah Mawi menegur sendiri...

Tuk dengar kenangan pahit Mawi, click sini. Ini adalah sebahagian wawancara selepas pertunjukan pertama Mawi ngan Jamal malam kelmarin.

Tuk dengar yang manis lak, click sini. Apapun, kalau links tu ada problem, I will try and place them in the radio.blog. Tapi mintak-mintak peminat-peminat Mawi tima teguran dari Mawi sendiri...dan kalau anda tak sedar anda tergolong dalam kaum fanatik yang taksub ni...then pepandai ler cerminkan diri sama ada tindakan anda melampau atau tidak.

Yang sampai tarik-tarik baju Mawi hingga koyak kat dalam masjid tu...sekali dah ler dengar tak bertudung, rambut warna warni kekaratan, main rempuh masuk nak pegang-pegang Mawi tanpa segan silu ketika dia balik Kulai tu...ingat ler sikit. Hish...

Anyways, not much to post today....I dropped by Dewan Felda yesterday for the show with Mawi, Jamal dan Siti...tapi malas hang around lama sangat. Entah...cam no mood. Aku da start blues balik.

Masa update blog lak, I was surfing some pics to add...terdiam kejap bila tengok ada seseorang dalam one of the pics...memakai birthday present yang aku telah memberi seseorang tak lama dulu.

Mungkinkah kebetulan tu item yang serupa...and not actually the same thing? Atau adakah orang tu sudah sampai tahap memperlekehkan persahabatan yang pernah wujud sampai pemberian yang kononnya dia hargai...dia berikan saja pada orang lain.

Memang dari sedih...frustrated and depressed....I don't know. I'm starting to feel angry.

How dare you...

Apapun...don't want to rant on about my anger...pada mereka yang nak tengok pics dari show di Dewan Perdana Felda semalam of Mawi, Siti dan Jamal, visit [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages! Aku tengok yang lawat blog lebih seribu....yang lawat fotopages lak lebih lima ribu orang...tapi votes berbelas saja.

Here we go again...



Inilah pemandangan di persembahan Mawi vs Jamal yang diadakan di Dewan Perdana Felda, Kuala Lumpur anjuran Mahir Event & Production semalam.

Packed!

Apapun...it got a little bit overboard. I mean when makciks start describing what they admire most anatomically about Mawi...you can't help but to shudder to think that at times things have gone way too far.

Apapun...it was a fun show...bothing much to scream about but fun.

Jamal was seperti biasa impressive, tapi aku rasa the star for the night was host Fauziah Ahmad Daud aka kak Ogy. She had the crowd eating out of her hand ler with her routine and all.

Ada ler kejutan dalam bentuk Sahri, Amylea dan Idayu membuat persembahan...but I suppose it was not that surprising...

Entahler...maybe sebab aku tak cukup tidur ke...from the night before (over 25 hours without a wink because of my emotional state - tapi still larat gi tengok Jeff Timmons sebelum tuh), aku takleh appreciate bebetul kot.

Tapi apapun Mawi sounded really TOO tired. You could tell the strain is getting to him, and even kalau dia leh put up with it physically in the sense dia masih mampu nak wat show...suara dia memang cannot take the beating.

Entahler...kalau korang peminat...pepandai ler wat petition mintak Maestro siapkan 'off days' dia, because as far as I know he has none (since keluar Akademi almost three weeks ago) and mengikut jadual dia....his schedule packed for another three weeks at least.

Celah mana lak yang ada masa, ada photography tuk album-album as well as rakan album solo dia.

Oh by the way ye...ni a bit of confirmed news for peminat-peminat Mawi.

Album Mawi di pasarkan pada pertengahan Oktober. Buat sekarang, kalau tak silap saya, tarikh yang telah ditetapkan adalah pada 17 Oktober. So pepandai ler kumpol duit ek.

And lagi satu...kalo peminat Mawi tengah ecstatic sangat pasai album compilation live Mawi World tu...ni ada berita baik tuk peminat Felix, Amylea, Marsha dan Yazer. Setiap orang dalam top 5 akan mempunyai album live jugak released. Yang luar top 5 MUNGKIN juga akan ada....tapi dalam bentuk kongsi-kongsi ler (kalau tak lagu tak cukop)

Ini disamping tiga album EVO yang akan keluar mulai pertengahan September. Setiap album akan memuatkan 5 lagu baru. So ngan 14 bekas pelajar offering one new song each, apa one more track?

Well...the last song is a bonus (setakat ni dengar menda tu ala duet tuk couple paling hangat dalam Akademi Fantasia III, cuba teka sapa?)

Ok ler...hope peminat-peminat lega sikit pasai bab album. Album da nak release...don't say you weren't told. Jangan sampai masa lak pecah tabung anak/adik ler...beli pirated ler...Hampeh dot com tul kalao camtuh!

Erm...tomorrow (malas nak wat pe-pe ari ni ngan mood sampah menyampah aku ni) aku nak posting audio clip kat radio.blog interview ngan Mawi dari semalam.

Ada satu bahagian saya nak kongsi ngan semua, samaada peminat Mawi ataupun tidak...dimana Mawi komen pasal benda yang paling manis...dan menda yang paling pahit akibat Akademi Fantasia III.

The manis not important ler...later you'll listen...nothing surprising. But the pahit part...Mawi sendiri condemn peminat-peminat yang terlalu fanatik...dan terlalu taksub.

"Aku masih manusia biasa" is my favourite line...tapi apapun aku akan posting benda tu esok.

So until then...kalao nak tengok pics dari show semalam kat Dewan Perdana Felda, gi [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages!. Jangan lupa malam ni ada lagi persembahan Mawi di sana, kali ni ada agik Mak ET (Siti Nurhaliza ler). And don't forget to undi for my blog...keep it comin'!!!

Ok...semalam was actually fun. So much fun my head is still hurting sebab hangover siot!

It's been a while since aku minum, which I quit actually...but yesterday became quite an exception for me sebab yer lah kan...nak kononnya enjoy and forget my problems and have some fun partying out kat Planet Hollywood. Tuk sapa yang clueless tu, it was the Zahid & Friends Sunday Nite Live showcase at Planet Hollywood.

Mula-mula da planning gi ngan Juan Danza. Kita gi melantak makan kat Bukit Bintang dinner dulu before we made our way there. Aku rasa cam the party was not going to happen sebab ajak Sultan Muzaffar, dia lak malas nak kuar kata letih nak tidur. Abih makan je dapat call dari Bob yang da nak sampai pun pas janji siang tadi.

So pegi depan Planet meet up with Bob, terus turun ke basement level. Crowd da start...and better than usual...aku dapat my table right in the centre of everything (thanks Bridget).

Tapi sebab serempak ngan Rozina dari Astro and gang along with Hakim and all, thought I'd just join them at their table as there was space.

Mula-mula tak perasan Mat Salleh dua orang kat meja tu...until we were introduced.

Rupa-rupanya si Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees along with his manager. Turns out since I haven't been working and on leave the past week, mamat ni mai KL sebab dok promosi album solo dia, Whisper That Way.

So dok, sempat ler sembang-sembang ngan dia ler.

Tapi seronok gak tengok ramai play groupie melayan dia...last-last tanak ketinggalan aku pun meng'groupie'kan diri after a slight chat. Amik pics ler apa agik...

Jeff Timmons



One for the album



Serempak mama dan papa Zahid, my lovely parents angkat. Beshnya dapat jumpa meka.

Adus...kena laser mama lak sebab lama tak jumpa meka. Kena janji to make time...

So anyway...just as the show nak start, the crowd around our table grew. Anggota keluarga Fantasia mula mai sorang-sorang. First Bob...then Anding, Ikram dan Fitri wat appearance lak.

Then Nija popped up. Celah-celah tu, Nila Kurnia era.fm muncul.

Lum pe-pe, Linda Jasmine and Co. joined up. Show baru start, si Yazer dan Kefli join kami lak.
Sayang Amylea dok jauh sikit tak join up...

Er...let's see...sapa agik aku lupa ah? Rasanya that's it kot...Here are some pics of some of them sempat aku rakamkan.

Wakil tiga generasi Akademi Fantasia yang hadir







Perasan ganas ngan Yazer!



So, the night was great...especially the head-baging sets mosh ngan si Yazer.

Tapi the best part was masa tengah break tu...semua malas dok tengah tu...we all moved to the corner of the kitchen dan semua joget lambak ler.

Ramai lak orang mai join. Abang Aman Maestro (abang World ler tuh), Awal dan Sazzy Beat TV pon ada rupanya! Kak Lina Maestro dan laki dia skali. Aypul PA Zahid pon on off stray to our section. The show rocked on...and I have to say...it was one of the best night I've had in a long time (though the hangover makes me regret that)

Then there were the many other blogger friends that popped up. I must make a note to somehow get a bloggers gathering going soon (thank you SM for initiating the 'pilot' project in this week's Gol & Gincu movie outing)

Later masa show da masuk the last couple of tracks, Fuad lak muncul.

But I suppose the best part was seeing all three generations of Akademi Fantasia naik pentas tok join in with Zahid, Farah, Nana dan Adam for Menuju Puncak.

Nostalgic siot! Mana taknya....all three seasons aku ikut these kids from the first day (season one tu halfway ler actually). But I mean...they're more of individuals...and friends (most of em anyway) to me than anything else, and quite a few...my adik beradik da. Tapi takler sampai shed a tear. I'm not that sentimental.

Balik singgah Uncle Don. The list of those present included moi, Juan, Bob, Anding, Fitri, Ikram, Awal, Sazzy, Lina and hubby in tow (did I get everyone?)

Ingat pas makan nak ciao...tiba-tiba ada lagi some friends dropped by so semua sok sek. Dekat kul 4 pagi baru semua nak gerak balik. Mana taknya...Uncle Don punya sound system sibuk pasang Sheila On 7 dan Peterpan je...so smuer dok layan ler. Closing anthem (for us ler sebelum balik) was Pupus by Dewa lak...huh! Tu ler effect Akademi Fantasia.

So after everyone went their own ways, popped by the office.

Adik angkat lak hantar mesej ngadu masaalah. Dok counselling lak for almost two hours. Dia ni budak Ipoh aku da kenal kira over a year da....tapi dia ni study KL. He's a stubborn SOB and susah nak dengar nasihat. Hah! Dah terkena baru nak ngadu ngan aku. Layan ler sementara wat blog ni.

Anyway...plan to sleep the whole day...malas nak ke mana-mana...walaopon bebudak ajak ke press conference Jeff Timmons.

By the way...got some new pics of Mawi throughout stay dia in Johor over the past week plus. Gambar-gambar ni dari aktiviti dia pada hari Sabtu dan Ahad, which is semalam and the day before.

Kesian siot tengok pics dia...bukan apa...keluar saja Akademi no rest langsung...

Tengok jer ler pic kat bawah...muka dia da cam blur abih!

He looks so lost! Everyone's just pushing him around....

Hopefully for his sake, dia dapat ler rehat sikit pasni (fat chance) but I think he's got a burnout lying ahead if he doesn't have time to chill out soon. I mean...it's almost ridiculous how his schedule seems endless, siot!

Mamat ni collapse kang...either that or he goes Looney Tunes soon.

Can we all chime together, "Cuckoo?"


Kalau nak tengok pics lain Mawi di Johor - as usual, click [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages!.

Tapi jangan lupa...at some point, vote by clicking the VOTE/UNDI links.

Thanks, guys...signing off for today. ta...

Skandal Ekin dan Yazer! Tangkap basah?

Ok...so I admit. The title of this posting is very the Kim Possible and so the drama...

Actually...saja je letak topik camtuh.

Yerlah...nak ikut gaya majalah yang wat heading gempak, tapi bila beli lak, tengok dalam...nan ado!!! These are the same magazines you find semi-naked (that's topless male and plunging cleavage female) pics posted all over in uhm...what they'd argue is acceptable (which is fine by me).

And let's not forget lokasi kolam renang tuh....Wajib tuh!

Anyways, the real story sebalik gambar ni sebenarnya simple je...

Gambar ni diambil masa mereka hadir bersama Felix, Marsha, Amy, Idayu dan Aznil kat Media Appreciation Party yang diadakan di Sabah tuk menghargai media sana diatas sokongan mereka tuk Akademi Fantasia III. Kira ada show and all ler.

So pic ni was taken masa tu...atas request media sana ler yang dok caya sangat meka ni an item...seriously though...I am getting so sick of it.

Sapalah yang caya sangat cita-cita Astro nak play matchmaker ni.

Yang setakat ni successful match-up pun has been only Khai and Rosma...tu pun bukan matched up...tapi da obvious sangat masa dok dalam. Yang lain...karam!

This season, the closest thing to anything brewing is definitely between Felix dan Akma (though aku no komen what I know ler).

Apapun...it wouldn't be too far a stretch too to believe that these kids could go for someone among their own...after all the instant fame tu limits your social life (this applies pada binitang baru yang sedar diri jer ek) to safeguard your reputation as a star (again...this applies to etc etc etc - trust me...there are those who fall into this category of the ignorant)

However...whatever happens for these kids...personally, I mean...as long as it's not detrimental to their careers, I'm all up for it.

So...kalau nak tengok more pics of party kat Sabah tu...apa lagi? Click [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages!

Jangan lupa...as usual click the link below that says vote. Undi ler page aku ok tuk lebih pics exclusive and stories of how the Akademi Fantasia family is doing and what they up to.

By the way...siapa going for Zahid & Friends punya last showcase malam ni? Call ler aku kalau sampai sana ek. Leh meriahkan ramai-ramai sebab rasanya ramai bloggers pun akan munculkan diri.

For those yang read my last posting and was wondering....no I did not go for Recharge.
Cam malas lak nak jauh-jauh ke Port Dickson padahal hati teringin sangat. It's been a long time since my last rave. Aku rasa aku last gi pun Elevation kat Genting Highlands (yes, that was ages ago)

Instead, I opted for a killer of an ultimate boredom of a weekend by staying in KL.

Dok rumah je...ada someone who fancies me, asked me out.

Knowing my luck, the person who was supposed to call at about 4pm on...called me bout three hours later or so only.

Last-last kata jumpa pun kul 11 sebab dia nak dinner ngan kengkawan. Spoil mood aku...bukan apa....I hate waiting for people, especially since I've made time for them.

Pastu masa kuar lak...entahlah...aku cam takde mood...mungkin sebab aku rasakan demam aku kembali (stupid flu etc)...but I know it was more because aku masih teringatkan seseorang.

I mean how stupid is that...you have a date with someone who you fairly like...and likes you too...and you're thinking about some loser who doesn't give a flying fish about whether you even exist or not anymore.

But I suppose...tu ler hati manusia kan...we always want something we can't have. Last-last pas minum and all...balik...tapi instead I ended up driving around aimlessly until bout 6. Came to the office and decided lebih elok I channel this frustration and depression to my blog.

Can't say it worked...tapi at least aku ngantuk gak skang nak balik ni nak tidur.

Apapun...confirm lah. Ni definitely nak amik agik seminggu off cuti dari keja.

My mental health has yet to return to normal... (yes, yes...I hear the sarcastic grunts of was it ever...)

Aku memang skang tak semangat wat pe-pe pun...so...entahlah....

Mungkin minggu ni I'll go somewhere...pe pun nak balik tidur dulu...

Siapa yang gi Zahid & Friends for Sunday Nite Live, jangan lupa it begins 10.30pm (be there earlier to beat the crowd) at Planet Hollywood. Ok? Ciao...

I'll leave you guys with this public service announcement dari one of my fave actors/comedians (and yes, Afdlin...even as a singer) Mr Afdlin Shauki!!!

Ok...aku lum keluar dari pertapaan aku. But I know it's not fair to leave my blog unattended.
Memang aku da abaikan tanggungjawab, not to anyone else, but especially to me.

For those of you who know the reason why I started my blog in the first place...you would...well...know.

Apapun...today - I officially declares this weekend...VOTE [klubbkidd's rave] WEEKEND.

Why?

Because I have spent hours updating my [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages! and come out with now just one or two new photosets, but quite a few. Guaranteed to hilangkan rindu for Akademi Fantasia.

These are among the hundreds of updated photos added.




Pelancaran sambutan kemerdekaan peringkat kebangsaan di Danga Bay - special photo set tuk peminat Mawi






Underneath pokok kelapak! Marsha kembali ke Tamparuli! Termasuk pics istimewa ngan bondanya, di Jambatan Tamparuli dan of course ngan pokok kelapa - special photo set tuk peminat Marsha.





Also kepada bekas-bekas pelajar Akademi Fantasia dari Sabah, enjoy pics of their show in Penampang. From the airport to the dewan.




Jangan lupa kembalinya Mawi ke Kulai - special photo set tuk peminat Mawi!!!





Ni terlambat sikit - but enjoy the photo set of the Akademi Fantasia Media Appreciation Night di Bora Ombak, Ampang, Kuala Lumpur anjuran Astro.

So you want to see all these pics? Senang je. Firstly, click VOTE/UNDI to support my site. The resetting of the voting system if at 6pm. Which means you can vote as many times you want, but only once in 24 hours from the same PC ler. The reset time is at 6pm.

It's for you to enjoy looking at, not making something out of. Ok?

Mencinta diri mu

Mimpi yang indah kan mewarnai hati

Hanyalah dirimu
Yang bertakhta di jiwa ku dulu
Tak rela meninggal suci kasihmu itu
Bersemadi cinta ku disini
Biar mekar mengharumi
Andai ada masa kan ku temu..Kasih

Baru ku sedari

Aku ada tambah satu lagu dalam radio.blog, which is Pupus, nyanyian Mike, juara Indonesian Idol terbaru.

It's an amazing, soulful take of Pupus, and aku rasa the best tune to really feel the song. Take a listen.

One thing kan, it makes me realise that no matter how talented anak-anak bangsa kita pun, Indonesian talents are so far ahead of us.

And another thing is - looks never become a factor, which is so much an issue of contemplation here. Aku rasa Mike ni, yang badan empat kali badan bob Akademi Fantasia II, masuk Malaysian Idol pun jangan harap ler lepas walaupun first round because of his looks.

I mean, look at Malaysian Idol now. Nak harap muka semua cukup makan...vocally haus? yang leh nyanyi kena sepak keluar, yang dok dalam to the final yang haus.

Akademi Fantasia dengan segala kelemahannya, at least ler for me, this year has proven it has gone beyond selecting just looks, dan musim ni especially the leanings are towards more grooming of real stage talents.

Anyway - take a listen to Mike's Pupus to understand what I'm getting at.

First day off today, and I'm rambling on. Apapun...lega sikit ler hari ni, dapat berehat kat rumah dulu sebelum pikir nak cuti memana seminggu ni. Cuma after a while, I feel the walls closing in on me.

So many things in my mind...

To take my mind off things, tried calling adik-adik Akademi, tapi phone Marsha, Yazer dan Felix uncontactable, so I suppose they were on their way back to Sabah already.

Sok sek ngan Juan sebab malas nak call Mawi, kesian tau dia balik ni pun sibuk manjang kang sebab da chat with Aman semalam, dia da bagitau Mawi kena jumpa kerabat laa kena jumpa Menteri Besar la...nak kena gi istana etc.

Kesian mamat botak tu. Baru nak berehat. Biau ler dua tiga hari cuti dulu baru dera dia.
Anyways, called Juan, dia sibuk touring skali ngan Kak Maznah ke Kulaifornia. Malam ni baru Mawi jejak balik rumah dia kat Felda Taib Andak. Agaknya pukul berapa la sebelum orang semua berambus dan biarkan budak tu rehat.

Anyways...will update you guys more on what the rest of the kids are up to in three days of rest they have back in their kampungs. Kalau you have any information or picstures, let me know ok if you want to share them.

Still loving you...tribute of friends to arwah Riez

Baru kembali dari Melaka to pay arwah my last respects. Have to say this...Riez...I'm so sorry I didn't say goodbye. I'm so sorry I didn't keep my promise to call now that you've gone and it's too late.

Semalam sampai kat Melaka about 9 malam, terus gi rumah Sahri...then went to Hang Tuah Mall kat Subaidah nak minum dan dengar from Sahri what actually happened.

I suppose I was in kinda a daze and in denial over Riez's passing that I didn't really hear anything...just that Riez memang had high blood pressure etc. He was just 26 when he passed on.

So many things I don't want to go into details....but Riez, I'm sure you've moved on to a better place.

Walaupon ko jauh nok...ko ler antara berapa orang dalam hidup aku yang aku leh anggap kawan.
I've never lost someone I was personally acquainted with before...and it's hard.

I mean...when my grandparents passed away...both sets of them, I was too young to understand why I was crying. Cuma aku tau I wouldn't be eating my grandma's top dish of 'tau eu bak' (don't ask what that is - either you know or you don't).

I have had aunties and uncles pass on...but I was never really close to members of my family...and I didn't really understand the grief of losing someone.

And I've never really had friends that passed on. I had an ex...that passed on. Tapi arwah masa tu pas kita da jauh...aku janji nak jumpa, nak gi Port Dickson nak jumpa dia. Time tu aku call dia bagitau tak jadi sebab work schedule aku ketat. So aku kata, jangan risau, dua minggu agi aku datang etc.

Unfortunately, I didn't get back to my promise until a month or two. And I only remembered sebab a friend of mine passed the news, that dia da ninggal.

Aku tak caya. And call handphone dia. Adik dia jawab dan bagitau the truth...

Terduduk....

I thought I had learnt my lesson then...that never put off things cause there may never be a tomorrow to look forward to.

But I did it again with Riez...a friend I've known for ages - and dalam kebelakangan ni - we've ket contact back again.

So I've been selfish...caught up in my problems until lupa yang ada sekeliling aku.

Now it's time to get my priorities straight.

I will be off from work for a week to get some time off sebelum aku jadi gila ngan stress yang kian pile up by the day.

I will try and blog to record my progress (dan kalau apa-apa ler citer keluarga Akademi Fantasia).

To that person who was in my life - one day I hope you realise, the promise you made that no one would ever take you away from me....is going to haunt you.I kept my word...you didn't, and only God knows what's best, so I leave him to judge my life and what becomes of all this.

And I know - whatever I went through because of you - will prove that every action does have its equal reaction.

Anyway - the link to the song below is dedicated to you (read on bawah for the link)

And to Riez...brother and sister...this one's also for you. I know you would have wanted us to laugh on and carry about with our daily lives. Aku mintak lah semua sedekahkan al-fatihah for a friend who was not supposed to go...tapi Tuhan lebih sayangkan dia so apakan daya.

Rest in peace...and God bless again.

My tribute to the person who not only broke janji dia, but also my heart...and to Riez - STILL LOVING YOU (Click tajuk of the song to listen - lagu ni should be credited to KuMac and Lea Laurielle for proving laughter is indeed the best medicine)

PS - The radio.blog has been updated. Dengar sendiri pesanan khas Mawi, Marsha, Amylea dan Felix berserta persembahan finale mereka. Please note ucapan-ucapan tu adalah copyright and owned by me - so jangan reporduce pepandai. Dengar jek cukup. Janji jangan lupa, kalau suka UNDI tuk blog aku ler. If you don't understand Bahasa Malaysia, then all I said was if you like the exclusive updates of the radio.blog, then please VOTE for my blog. Can I make it any clearer?

PS Pt II - Adik-adik Akademi Fantasia III bermula off day meka tuk tiga hari, beginning today. Jadi serbu laa their kampung to see them closer ek. Tapi berpada-pada ler. Bebudak balik kampung pun so meka leh berehat. Siapa amik gambar kat kampung memana budak Akademi Fantaisa dan nakkongsi ngan semua pembaca blog, email it to me at klubbkidd supaya dapat dikongsi tatap oleh semua di fotopages aku. Rest assured, your copyright of ownership of the pics, is entirely yours.

Untuk terakhir kali...ku berserah

I have been so caught upin my own problems. And life just got shittier.

Memacam cubaan yang melanda hidupku kebelakangan ni mengaburkan mata aku.

Dan hari ni...lebih dua jam lepas....seorang kawan aku, yang aku anggap lebih dari seorang kenalan...yang banyak tau kisah suka duka hidupku...telah pulang ke rahmatullah.

At about 4pm, into the second day of my wallowing in self pity over what happened to me the past two days ago, a culmination of two weeks of pain...Sahri call aku and told me Riez passed away.

Memang aku tau dia sakit. Sebab masa final - Sahri telah tarik aku ke tepi, and bagitau aku Riez kat hospital. He also asked me to call Riez.

Unfortunately masa tu memacam masaalah yang aku hadapi...benda tu ditangguhkan.

Until today. And now...it's too late to speak to Riez again.

Ni gambar terakhir Riez yang aku ada...masa beberapa tahun lepas kita beramai-ramai lebih 40 orang gi Port Dickson.

Aku masih teringat SMS terakhir dia masa konsert minggu-minggu terakhir, saja tuk tanya khabar. Tu pun aku tak sempat balas sebab ramai sangat SMS.

Last kita berjumpa pun, masa bebudak Akademi Fantasia last stop on the final leg of the Akademi Fantasia Tour kat Melaka.

Masa tu lepas je Tour, Riez skali ngan Sahri dan Kaer gerak satu keta, aku Bob dan Ted satu agi keta ngan Juan gi minum.

That was the last time we spent the night talking about anything and everything. That and the time Riez and his friends 'selamatkan'aku dari kebosanan Melaka tengah malam time aku kat sana tuk Sure Heboh.

Riez was one of Sahri's best friends - and was one of mine too. In fact, aku terkejut masa final Akademi Fantasia musim pertama masa jumpa dia, dok skali ngan famili Sahri.

So anyway...to cut a long story short. In these few short days, I have lost so much...and now I have lost one of my best friends I can rely on.

Aku terduduk masa Sahri call aku tadi dan bagitau sambil menangis. Aku sempat call Ted tuk ajak turun ke Melaka skang jugak. Call Bob, tapi dia kat Lawas, sekadar mampu kirim takziah je...Kaer pun terkejut...

Riez...whereever you are...God bless you. We will meet again. We miss you...

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dapat ler extend sok sek with both of them sat.

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

Adi tengah acara rancangan



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



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

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



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



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

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

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

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

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

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

So expect more pics akan datang.

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

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

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

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

Hope it doesn't look too horrendous.

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

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

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

Ok ler...off to work!

Oh by the way - ni ada kenyataan akhbar aku dapat dari pihak Media Hiburan menjawab soal eksploitasi Mawi. Baca dan fahamlah...dan buat keputusan sendiri ek...kalau sudi...buat lah komen di ruangan comments and share your views on this.
