AF and more AF...

So I'm left behind in blogging. Time to catch up!

Bukan apa, but malas continue lak lepas balik Brunei. Still...I know I have to...or I'll never get around to doing it if I procrastinate.

Picking up where I left off last, so on the first night kat Brunei, tak buat apa-apa.

DAY 1
Letih teramat sampai hotel jer dari airport (ni nampak poster show kat sana smangat ler sikit-tengok pic). Check-in jer, call bilik bebudak, disambut oleh Felix. Rupanya, meka ada rehearsal kat Amphitheatre malam tu.

Check in je kat LR Asma hotel tu, menerima kejutan pertama. Fans ramai berkeliaran kat area lobby. Ada yang dok sana (like I said in my earlier posting, hotel tu siap ada pakej penginapan AF - B$250 for five days four nights) dan ada yang saja berkampung sana. Kita ada jumpa peminat Mawi yang rumah seminit dua jer jalan seberang jalan dari hotel, tapi sanggup abihkan duit dok sana semata-mata nak tengok Mawi tetiap ari (peminat ni siap sanggup nak tolong jual CD Mawi kat lobi hotel...cayalah!)

Kejutan kedua tengok Sham Kamikaze kena serbu. Huh! Power gak Sham orang leh naik gila dok kerumun dia!

Kejutan ketiga, Freddie Fernandez yang saing ngan kita dari KLIA pun kena kerumun!

Kejutan keempat...ada akak sorang ni tetiba mai kat aku nak amik pic aku, mintak pose. Ingat kengkawan bloggers ker haper...dia kata saja suka tengok gaya ganas (amik Pil Poh Chai sebab sakit perut akibat gelak lebih)

Couldn't take anymore surprises, but got another when I went up to the fifth floor (I was staying on the fourth) to their (bebudak punya) rooms. Terkejut beruk gaks tengok fifth floor tu, kat lift lobby and the other end of the hallway ada 'post jaga' gitu.

And behind these counters as well as scattered throughout the rest of the fifth floor, where only bebudak Akademi Fantasia and production as well as organisers menetap, were over 30 muscle-bound members of the security team.

Semua jeling je bila aku melangkah keluar lif. Tapi aku rasa skali pandang pun meka tau aku pun dari KL so meka pun tak soal.

Hung out awhile - before the kids nak start gerak ke venue tuk latihan.

Aku pun lepak ler ngan meka sat, cause the whole set, Mawi & Co turun skali. Sembang ngan Mawi sat (sempat dia bagik pose maut - macho tak?), and when they went down, lepak pulak ngan dua orang abang bodyguard yang stationed kat tingkat lima punya lobby.

Rupanya kerja security ni bukan day job meka. Apart from their own individual jobs and businesses (loaded gak), mereka (abang Aliff dan Boy) ni competitive bodybuilders (makan ati LeeZ), sama macam most of the others on duty.

Aku penah dengar kat Brunei ni ada (tak silap aku) Harun Gym or something, and it turns out they're active at pumping iron there. Oooh! And the rest of the 30 something odd bodybuilders yang double up as security team bebudak pun skali rupanya...

By the end of the stay in Brunei...ramai da baik ngan aku (best lak sebelom balik semua nak bergambar skalik) - my favourites being firstly abang Bobby (ada Klang connection tu), Awang (cam pelakon Senario dia ni asik buat lawak) dan si Ali (pretty boy tapi rugged). Ni pics meka... from left to right ikut nama...





Ok...moving on. Lepas sesi suaikenal ngan security (mesra maa!) turun ke bawah tuk dinner bersama member Press lain skali ngan organiser, Pengiran tuh.

Tengah layan makan sempat sok sek ngan Pengiran pasai show, response and all. Kesian gak dia phone tak abih bunyi...sampai kita da abih makan dia belum pun start.

After dinner, Norizan dari Astro, kak Akma, Sarimah, Wanda, Julia dan aku (ada sorang agik budak baru tuk Media Hiburan tapi tak ingat nama) join Haji J (bukan nama sebenar) tuk pusing Brunei at night. Entah apa tujuannya...aku ikut je...

Tertidur keletihan kat dalam van masa playing tourist tu.
Sedar-sedar saja, rupanya mereka stop dekat entah masjid ni...cantik! Cam Disneyland lak rasanya!

In the end aku bosan sangat - nak layan Sarimah rajin photography jer (asik nak amik pic sana sini- jangan marah nok!) sampai aku ngan Wanda ingatkan dia - "Wei...lupa lak asal ada masjid tu ek...bukan tuk fotografi, tapi tuk semayang laa wei!".

After that tu, we dropped by the JPCC Amphitheatre nak tengok rehearsal bebudak. Ramai rupanya kat luar kawasan tu dok nak ngintai camna rehearsal.

Ayah Mawi pun ada skali...

Ada problems sikit ler ngan their performance, something just didn't click, but didn't stay too long to watch.

Lepas a short while tu, we made our way back to the hotel. Ingat bebudak da balik, rupanya belum. So tengok-tengok, fans, seperti masa kita sampai, da penuhkan lobby hotel LR Asma.

Decided to go into the cafe again. Uiks...ada joget lambak siot! Kalau masa kita dinner tadi, mereka stakat berkaraoke (siap introduce kami dari Mesia agik beb!), it turns out things get wilder later in the night. Well...as wild as Brunei can get, anyway

Buntu sat nak wat apa, so lepak lobby agik. This time met some blog followers - peminat Mawi.

Rupanya ada yang memang pernah ikut blog aku tapi tak cam melalui pics - dan ada yang bertanyakan mana Juan dan kenapa dia tak ikut. Jadik PA blog Juan ler rupanya...

Finally got word that the kids pegi Istana...and meka scheduled balik 3am. So headed to some friend's room and partied out gelak jer. Kawan-kawan Brunei....gelak je cita bawak dari KL.

Some of friends they knew and/or heard about.

Anyways, much later went down again...abang-abang bouncer semua tengah main pool so lepak ngan meka. Then kebetulan, just a few minutes later, shortly at about 3.30am...bebudak sampai.

Kita tau pun dari kecoh riuh rendah peminat yang menyerbu. Sanggup tul meka tunggu...sampai tidur dalam lobi!!!

Uwaaa...ada bak habuan balik (no komen lebih pasai benda tu)

Spent the next four hours hanging out ngan beberapa budak security dan girlfriend one of the guys berceloteh nak blaja bahasa Brunei (kena gelak adalah).

Ngantuk campur lapar menyerang...made my way back to my room.

DAY 2
Dikejutkan abang Zahrin - our company photographer yang dok sebilik ngan aku. Kita bersiap and then turun tuk breakfast.

Lepas makan - sempat tengok havoc satu round bila peminat again (camna meka tau aa time bebudak ni nak gerak - ker stalking luck jer? - malu bloggers terlampau sorang ni banding ngan how these kids operate)

Dari bebudak kecik sampai makcik semua naik hysteria. Tapi ari ni jelas sikit, most of gthe excitement is for Mawi. This is followed by the Borneo side students cam Marsha, Felix, Yazer, Ekin, Reza dan Amy. Akma pun rupanya popular leh tahan kat Brunei! Hah! Camna ni? This probably gives new meaning to the term Pengantin Popular ler kang...(ampun Felix!)

So we boarded our transport and headed for the next event.

Destination : Kompleks Bangunan Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah. Mission : Mawi, on behalf of Akademi Fantasia and Maestro to present a cheque for B$3,000 to the Pengiran Muda Mahkota Al-Muhtadee Billah Fund for orphans.

Kat luar kompleks - ya ampun...dah beratus kumpul at the entrance yang ala ala pintu masuk ke Pertama Complex tu. Masuk je entrance to go into the building, terima a huge shock!!!

Rupanya dalam kompleks tu lagik penuh dari kat luar tu, packed with people waiting for the kids to arrive. Pintu kaca ditutup, and people were pressing again gthe barricades of several security guards yang bertugas dari kompleks tu.

Tergamam sat melihat.

Aku ditarik oleh sapa tak ingat...rupanya we're only takings the elevator to the upper floors, di mana the event would be held.

Sampai atas....huh...pendek kata, official event tu, jadi ala ala VIP meet the fans session lak. Masa video presentation pun ad bebudak kena approach for autographs dan tuk amik gambar.

Best couple for the day - Yazer dan Ekin. Sebab dok lepak makan wat tatau jer with their surroundings. Heh! Besh... besh...

Ada benda kelakar lak jadi. Masa opening speech, Mawi direfer as Yang Mulia Awang Asmawi Ani.

Tergelak sat.

Yerlaa..even though that's quite a standard Brunei address, tapi kita ni orang semenanjung mana biasa...sampai Studio 1 smalam, ada bebudak yang masih refer to each other as Yang Mulia...heh!Juga sempat jumpa kembar Akma!!!

Cuma bezanya konsep bertudung!

Ada peminat Brunei ni - kira muka ada ler clone sikit ler...cuma dagu pendek dan erm...sikit agik lain ler. Tapi sampai Felix pun terkejut tu!

After that event was the worst situation though I've been in through AF III.

Turun je lif, masa in the glass enclosed lift lobby, we were horrified to find that the crowd had totally engulfed the outside of the building.

Yang 10 seconds walk to the bus pun leh jadi minutes of horror.

So satu-satu bebudak diescort. Each time pintu bukak tuk bodyguards bak them out - rasanya cam campak anak kambing dalam kandang singa gitu! The crowd was ferocious!!!

Mawi aku tengok horror gila ngan reception tuk meka, I suppose he thought he'd seen the worst of it.

Jimmy Shanley pun ada, so interview kami beramai-ramai dalam lobi akuarium tu sambil peminat hentak-hentak dinding dan pintu kaca nak dapatkan perhatian Mawi.

Aiyo..suspen takut pecah je kaca tu!

Dalam suspen...dan bosan...menunggu sorang-sorang dibawak keluar (safer ler kiranya)...siap kami wat personal sesi fotografi tuk habiskan masa...sempat gak aku amik pic ngan Mawi. Mula-mula malas sebab dia sibuk sangat...alang-alang sorang-sorang da bosan...main ler amik pics manjang jer....

Bila turn Mawi nak keluar, dia siap baca doa dulu sebelum take his first step out.

Nasib baik ler nothing happened!

But it was several minutes of terror before we got to that point. Aku perasan abang Wan dari Maestro yang jalan depan Mawi pun muka panic. Mana taknya...abang bodybuilder yang bak Mawi skali pun leh tombang!

They packed on the bus to go for a Censorship Board meeting (tuk review pakaian dan steps for their dance tuk show malam tu - dengar baju semua lepas, seburuk-buruk wardrobe Astro tu! manakala step ada yang bab angkat-angkat dimodified).

Nak gelak gak tengok bas kena serbu ngan peminat...but I guess it was funnier to see a whole bunch of people running after the bus bawah panas terik matahari - termasuk makcik-mackik bertudung!!!

I mean...thumbs up for the fan bit - but isn't that going a bit too far?
Aku tak bayangkan kalau tiba-tiba bas tu brajke emergency kerana apa-apa. harus ler ramai yang terciom bontot bas tinggalkan kenangan lip imprint gitu.

I made my way up in the Kompleks skali ngan member-member tuk send article news skali ngan update my blog yang last posting tu.

Nak gi Kampung Air masa tu, tapi ujan, so makan dekat jambatan punya area tu je.

Went back to the hotel - tidur sat.

Then got up and prepared nak gi venue.

Nak kata full house tak gak, tapi si organiser, Pengiran tu later bagitau sebab ada tiket sponsor da beli tapi jemputan meka tak mai lak...

Oooh...gitu.

Tapi benda tu tak kisah sangat ler...yang satu benda aku rasa nak naik hangin satu badan...ni...aku gi ngan Julia beli air dan burger semua. Ni gambar burger aku beli tuk B$2 (lebih kurang RM5).

Hampeh sangat! Dahler takder rasa....leper cam kena dok anak gajah! Da menyerupai pancake dah! Sebab hungry cause I missed having dinner having gotten up late, terpaksa ler make do.

Back to the show, the order of performance for the night kicked off with a group song in Bermula Di Sini. Then it was Let's Get Loud (Ekin), Dedebu Cinta (Elliza), Cahaya (Akma), Cinta DiAkhir Garisan (awek-awek AF3), Are You Ready For Love? (Yazer), Puteri (Fuad), Alah Emak Kahwinkan Aku (Reza), Raikan Cinta (medley jantan lak), Curiga (Idayu), Berhenti Berharap (Kefli), Fallin' (Amy), Senyum Ragamu (Aidil), Dua Insan Bercinta (Amylea), Manusia (Marsha), Berjuta Batu (Felix), Gadis Melayu dan Aduh Saliha (Mawi), Grease medley - Summer Dream dan You're The One That I Want (kesemua pelajar) serta closing Menuju Puncak.

Balik hotel...dah lewat sebab ada press conference skali with media dari Brunei. Mawi bagik Marsha ada keldai sekoq (tengok dalam pic aku dan Marsha) Baik gak si Mawi ni jadi abang pada baby sister aku ni.

Letih. Tambah agik layan gossip ngan si Jimmy (rahsiamu dalam peganganku! gelak jahat sat) Sempat mandi then lepak je kat lobi lak ngan member Brunei.

Stayed in the lobby area to gossip, sempat serempak ngan bebudak keletihan baru sampai balik. They had gone to another Istana again immediately after the second show and baru sampai...kesian lak meka.

Pastu naik atas say goodbye pada kawan-kawan security sana. Tengah round of goodbyes, tengok Marsha keluar bilik lak.

Rupanya nak makan obat, amik air kat dispenser. Lepak ngan Marsha sat. Tengah dok sembang, dia sibuk belek-belek ubatan yang ada diberikan doktor yang dibawa khas ke venue sebab ramai bebudak kurang sihat (dengar Ekin siap pengsan dalam bilik).

Tiba-tiba kami tergelak sebab tengok on one of the medicine packages, ada lak tertulis kat tempat Patient Name tu...Marsha (Underneath Pokok Kelapak)

Rupanya doktor pun peminat!

Said goodnight...letih bangat! Tukar nombor dan ngan abang-abang bodyguard kerana meka cadang nak mai KL soon, say night and bye to all the kids.

Naik bilik...lights out terus...literally.

Mana taknya...masuk bilik pasang lampu...letup lak litar. Fuse terus semua lampu bilik kecuali lampu bilik air dan entrance.

Went to sleep.

DAY 3
Sempat one more round of goodbyes. A lot of business cards, numbers and emails exchanged.

Tima kasih Haji J!!! And sorang agik abang yang jadik driver kami sepanjang stay sana. Tima kasih Pengiran yang sentiasa busy...akak yang blanja breakfast kat airport, dan of course abang-abang security ler. And tak lupa kawan-kawan baru kat Brunei dari geng online! Hope to see you guys in KL!

Masa kat lift lobby, turun skali ngan kuarga Fantasia. Sempat paksa Akma dan Felix yang dok mengelak bergambar bersama sepanjang kat Brunei tuk special shot tuk aku - dedicated from me to Jiwang United! Hah! Aku tau korang suka tengok meka berdua! Amik ko!!!

Sampai airport, tengok ayah Mawi ikut.

Rupanya, pakcik Ani head home dulu. Kata pakcik dia stay KL sehari tunggu si Mawi balik KL jumpa sat, sebelum balik Johor sebelum si Mawi wat rakaman Studio 1.

Letih teramat letih bila sampai KLIA. Head home...KO....entah ngapa rasa lethargic. Patutnya ada barbeque ZA8FC, tapi mesej Zahid bagitau tak sempat gi. Rupanya dia tak pass the mesaage (sorry Aida and gang!)

BACK IN KL
Esoknya, on Sunday, bangun lambat. Laze around jer ler...sampai petang, then gi Astro tuk Mawi punya rakaman Studio 1.

Set dia in order was Nour El Ain, Beautiful Maria, Jangan Pisahkan (duet ngan Ning Baizura), Kekasih Awal dan Akhir, Oh Fatimah, Pupus (with Yazer), Aisyah (with Yasin), Rindu Pada (aku rasa ler ni tajuk lagu sebab aku kuar isap rokok - tapi ngan Yasin gak), Aduh Saliha, and then finale ngan Bob dan dua orang agik (sorang budak Nowseeheart) lagu Raihan -err...yang selawat tu.

Letih!

Again balik KO...kerja seharian esoknya...petang lak jemput si Juan tuk skali join Sultan Muzaffar dan elkepitan kat Astro tuk Dari Studio 1 AF3.

Song list malam smalam was - You To Me Are Everything (Aidil & Kefli), Doa Buat Kekasih ( Ekin & Yazer), Ku Berserah (Amylea), Persamaan (Akma & Reza), Something Stupid (Elliza & Fuad), Untuk Terakhir Kali (Marsha), Hati Yang Terluka (Felix), When You Believe (Amy & Idayu) , Aduh Saliha (Mawi) dan You're The One That I Want dan Menuju Puncak featuring all of them ala Brunei punya show.

I have two things to say.

One is that Ning looked absolutely fabulous!!!

Lum lagik how she sounded with Mawi. Rugi sapa takder kat studio masa rakaman. Tunggu ler korang sampai Astro Ria tayangkan (masa Raya kot)

Second thing I have to sayis hwo cute Felix looked that night...rambut pesen lain. Akma looked good too...so I decided to take BOTH their pics. tapi separately ler...meka ni pandai da lari-lari.



Uiks! Panjangnya post kali ni...ok ler. Malas nak lengthy sangat....ciao ler guys.

Seb baik bab launching Adam punya website dan album aku tak amik pics...kalao tak entah panjang mana agik.

By the way, ni pic Marsha MMS aku dari phone dia...cantik tak?
Dari sesi photography dia ni...

Sorry ler if the pic if a little too small but that's the actual size yang si Marsha MMS aku...so kalao nak yang besar sikit kena mintak Marsha sendiri ler.

Tapi bagus gak...besar-besar pun pic tu, berejam ler korang tunggu bukak ler blog aku ni yang posting ni saja da tunggu sampai cipan bertelur nak bukak! So sorry...

For those yang nak tengok pics - untuk perhatian ye...all my pics will be uploaded into [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages! soon. Kalau sempat by tomorrow ok...bukan apa...tapi pas type banyak sangat - dan nak upload and link tu ni...letih siot! One last pic I can post here is, of mereka yang hadir bersama ngan saya ketika Dari Studio 1 Akademi Fantasia III on Monday, which is Juan, Sultan Muzaffar dan elkapitan... (kepitan aku curik pic ni dari blog ko!)

Ala...geng bloggers seperti biasa. Cuma sayang Badrul tak sempat mai. Takper...kang kita wat gathering geng-geng kita gak....Ta!

Kenapa setiap kali amik pic si Juan mesti sebelah kapitan? Dan kenapa setiap kali mesti sentap jer si SM punya muka? Skema laa!!! (mati lah aku kena hamun sekoq-sekoq pasni)



By the way, ni cover VCD karaoke si budak botak yang aku kata akan release esok (Khamis)

Brunei!

Hey guys!!! Yeay! Aku finally dapat say I've been to Brunei. baru complete ler aku nya regional visits.

I mean kalau stakat Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia da lama sudah pergi (repeatedly), this is the first time aku mai Brunei.

Am posting in an Internet cafe here sebab decided nak hantar a news story on what's been happening.

Smalam sampai dekat pukul 6 ke 7 lebih. Letih gila babas!

Checked into LR Asma Hotel dekat Jerudong, the same hotel bebudak keluarga Fantasia are in.

Sampai aja, oh my...

Orang berlambak dok kat luar hotel dan lobi skali tunggu je keluar masuk the gang from Akademi Fantasia.

Aku check nombor bilik call Kefli dan Yazer. Kebetulan they were just leaving nak gi rehearsal.

So lepas abih dinner, layan gelak tengok ada makcik-makcik joget lambak in the cafe at out hotel (I tell you there's some really funky activities in Brunei).

Didn't do much - we had a quick sight-seeing tour of Bandar Seri Begawan in the dark (thank you Serimah) and then pergi to JPCC Amphitheatre tengok rehearsal.

Ya ampun! Ramai siot orang gayut kat pagar just to get a look at what's going on.

Pastu gerak balik hotel lepak with some Bruneian friends yang check in hotel sama.

Apparently kan...hotel tu memang low occupancy (sori yek orang Brunei kalah salah info - ni pun aku dengar dari orang). tapi dalam beberapa malam ni packed habis! Sebabnya? Ada promosi pakej AF untuk 5 hari 4 malam untuk B$250.

Tunggu punya tunggu mereka tak balik. Dengar khabar selepas abih je rehersal dan semua balik, 14 budak tu skali ngan managers and Linda Jasmine were whisked to the Istana bila dipanggil mengadap.

Ada ler habuan...(no komen)

So lepak-ed at my friend's rooms and then when they came back at about 3.30am ada agik orang nak dok serbu meka.

Spent the rest of the night lepak ngan bouncers security meka yang bodybuilder smua dari Harun Gym (I think) Semua competing bodybuilders (mati ko makan ati Leez)

Siang tadi gi ada event cek presentation.

To cut a long story short - the events reflected ler the sensasion of Akademi Fantasia disini.

Rasanya Yazer, Felix, Marsha dan Ekin....as well as Amy paling kuat disini.

Tapi Mawi - is nothing short of a phenomenon di sini.

Daler airport masa meka sampai kena serbu.

Petang tadi earlier I was with them.

Dahler 13 orang tu masa lepas event tu dibawa keluar kena serang dekat 1,000 peminat. Tapi bila tinggal Mawi nak diusher to the bus - semua orangh start chating nama Mawi!

Mawi baca doa sebelum melangkah keluar - mana tak nya...kalau aku pun aku doa dulu siot! Cam kena perangkap celah Reformasi lak.

The crowd started pushing and shoving maximum sampai aku rasa dinding dan pintu kaca tu da moving under pressure. Nasib baik nothing untoward happened and everyone was safe.

Ok ler...panjang lak posting. ni...kalau minat ada cita pasal meka sampai kat Brunei. To read, CLICK HERE!, HERE! and HERE!!! Kalau sempat, aku akan posting lagi bila aku balik esok.

Brunei! Ready or not...here I come!

Aiyo. Been so lazy to post berapa ari nih. So I guess this is vengeance posting lar.

I have to really post a nice, long, lengthy entry sebab akan tinggalkan blog beberapa hari (like I haven't been doing that these past few days).

But I will try and get online in Brunei kalau sempat, tu pun kalau schedule ngan keluarga Fantasia di Brunei tak terlalu ketat dalam tiga ari aku kat sana.

So ok, first of all - untuk gambar-gambar that aku hutang janji nak posting tapi tak posting-posting gak of Marsha masa interview di x-fresh FM, go to [klubbkidd's rave] - The fotopages!

Aku da upload sana....

Kalau tak cukup, usha ler website x-fresh. If I'm not mistaken they have tonnes of pictures dari siri interview bekas-bekas pelajar Akademi Fantasia (sorry ler Farah & Gang...aku tak sempat surf...jangan marah tau - janji promote gaks)

That also goes for koleksi beberapa gambar masa Anugerah Era 2005 baru-baru ni.

Sori ler pics tak banyak, tapi sebenarnya rimas nak amik gambar selalu. Bukan apa...selalu sangat pun bosan siot.

Anyway - ni ada a few pics yang memang besh power habis!

Satu pic masa aku bak Marsha jumpa Nikki, yang tahun lepas top six Malaysian Idol. If you know...Nikki is from Tambunan...tapi family dia dan Marsha are close family friends. And ni kali pertama meka jumpa after so long. Sebab aku rapat ngan Nikki - and also with Marsha - aku ketemukan ler meka masa AE05 (cam Jejak Kasih lak).

Of course, masa tu...Nikki dok ngan Ning. Again - if you didn't know...album Nikki akan keluar this January bawah Ning & Associates (power!). Memang worth a buy! If you have to get any album for 2006, Nikki's album is it.

Dok promote manjang...tak caya...senang je. Dengar her single which will be hitting radios soon.
Back to AE05 - of course by now korang da tau result, da baca bermacam reviews, so takyah aku tambahkan.

But I have just one thing to say.

CONGRATULATIONS ZAHID!!!

Even though, you were not a favourite, aku sendiri tak predict...but

I know you've worked so hard - especially in the last six months plus nak prove kat orang ko betul-betul bersungguh tuk nak berjaya dalam bidang ni. Keep it up, bro!

Walaupon rambut ko cam Tina Turner menggerunkan pun - ko tetap the best! (tergolek tengok rambut Zahid cam wig)

Ok...so. On with the program.

Semalam I REALLY wanted to update my blog tapi sebab kelam kabut ngan assignments, I really didn't have the time.

Malam semalam unscheduled, gi lak cover Rossa untuk dari Studio 1 - Platinum. Guest artist...orang Kuala Lipis.

Manis si Rossa ni...I've always kinda liked her. She looks like Siti tapi character dia cam Sarah Raisuddin. Bubbly, upbeat and so talkative! Friendly to the max. Tak kering gusi layan dia.

Tengok dia pun pening...

Ni ada beberapa pics dia masa lepak ngan dia after show right after press conference.
Masa tu tension sikit sebab team production cam p*****k perangai. Malas nak elaborate...spoil mood je.





Bebudak buat lawak bodoh sepanjang PC (besh gak layan) and one of the jokes had something to do with something called Biourah Vilvam!

Aku ingat haper tu - some new programme ker channel baru ala Vaanavil kat Astro.

Lor...rupanya produk yang slalu dok kena advertise kat era.fm. Hampeh dot com ler bebudak ni.

Tergelak aku teringat.

Siang tadi gi x-fresh sat sebab Juan ada photography Raya, aku lak jumpa kat sana nak amik press release and some other stuff. First lalu studio era si Nana ada, aku stakat lambai. Next ound aku lalu, ingat nak masuk lepak ngan Nana, dia da takder. Rupanya da masuk shift Linda Onn.

So lepak ngan Linda sembang pasal apa orang komen ler pasai dia sat on her hosting abilities (or lack of according to some) masa AE.

Tengah lepak tu, aku nampak benda ni tertampal kat tepi tuk serve as a reminder for the presenters skali kot ngan guests tuk sebutkan dengan betul.



I held back ler...tapi keluar jer entah kenapa tergelak.

Dahler cam l*****t ejaan dan sebutan dia...sampaikan bawah siap ada reminder agik tu (It's pronounced Bye-O-Rah)

Sheesh!

Anyway...sambngan citer lepas event Rossa malam semalam...pastu aku cadang gerak balik lak...halfway changed my mind and met some friends for supper. Ni ada cita bengong!

One of them wanted to have naan cheese. Bila sampai lak cam naan butter! Mana taknya...there was anything BUT a hint of cheese in it.

Bila complained, we were told that it had cheese...just not how we expected.

Kalau biasa naan cheese ni dripping ngan keju - ni dia kata kalau nak lebih kena bagitau. Dia kata ni pakai sekeping je.

Ala ala a slice of Krafts ker Cheesedale ler. Mangkuk hayun! Mana tak couldn't taste the cheese...setakat sekeping tu...Dia kata kena mintak double ke triple ke.

Tapi yang penting dahler menyentapkan teramat the whole concept. When kira lak, dia kata naan cheese tu RM2.50...and that it's priced so because cheese itself RM1!!! Kalau double? Ke triple???

Huh...baik makan KFC...melampau lak kedai-kedai mamak sekarang.

Kalau nak tau, kedai ni namanya Al-Ehsan dan it's located kat area Cheras somewhere nearby Tasik Permaisuri dekat ngan flats (ker apartment) tu... Pepandai ler beringat kalau nak makan cheese naan, that is definitely NOT the place to go.

Ok ler...nak balik and packing. Lum agik ni. By 12pm kena ada kat Astro ni tuk gerak serentak ke KLIA.

See you guys in Brunei. Sesiapa kengkawan pembaca blog nak jumpa aku, SMS me at my number belah kiri blog aku tu, or leave a message for Joe Lee kat reception je. Kita dok kat Hotel Asma (nama pun sesuatuh!)

Ciao!

Cam tanak gi lak nak jumpa dua orang kat sini - seb baik over the weekend sempat....

Rocksteady!!!

I am so sorry malas nak posting lama sangat.

Aku try ler malam ni tapi entah ngapa cam tak smangat ler nak posting these past few days. Anyway, petang ni aku nak gi lak tuk Rossa - Dari Studio Platinum feauring Siti Nurhaliza as guest artist.

Perlu ke...apparently so...so I'm trudging off to Astro about 7pm.

Apart from that I will be leaving for Brunei on 22nd saja, a day after kuarga Fantasia gi. Pada kengkawan Brunei - see you guys there. And for those asking, as far as I can say, no, we are not staying in Empire.

Aku utang some pics from Anugerah Era kat sini (banyak sih!) and also some previously of Marsha in x-fresh kan? Mmm...kalau sempat ler malam ni...sebab PC kat rumah pun hard drive crash.

Anyway ni berita terbaru pasal releases related to Akademi Fantasia.

Album Yazer yang live is coming out next week (minggu ni jangan lak lupa beli Marsha punya - aku recommend).

Aku rasa Yazer punya cover jer yang ala-ala unik sikit kalau banding ngan yang previous others sebab berkonsep denim.

Oh by the way - ini berita lagik pasal produk cap Mawi agik bagi para peminat.

Maestro Records and ZEZZ akan menerbitkan VCD Koleksi MTV Karaoke Lagu-Lagu Konsert AF3 - MAWI WORLD.

VCD kareoke tu akan dipasarkan mulai Khamis depan pada 30th September.

Kalau nak tau, bukan apa music videonya, tapi berlatarbelakangkan konsert mingguan.

Cuma bezanya karaoke ler...leh melalak skali kejutkan jirang anjing rumah sebelah tuk nyalak skali (aiyo!)

Sebagai bonus tuk semua peminat Mawi (kira yang tak minat karaoke pun leh beli, simpan dan tayang ler) ada gak clips Mawi introduce each song and cita sikit this and that sbalik setiap lagu tu...

Eh...ok lah...nak gi makan pastu nak gi Astro da....

*THIS IS AN UPDATE *
Album Koleksi Lagu-Lagu Terbaik Konsert AF3 - Best of Mawi World kini mencapai angka jualan 167,200 unit.

Album Koleksi Lagu-Lagu Terbaik Konsert AF3 - Best of Susah-Susah Aje hs sold 25,000 unite setakat ni.

Blog buster!

Aku da penah komen bab ni...just a few weeks ago. And now things are getting so out of control ada pihak bloggers dah pun nak amik tindakan atas mereka yang tinggalkan komen yang tidak bertanggungjawab atas pihak bersalah.

When you leave comments in a blog, yes, you demonstrate the right to free speech...tapi jangan lupa - you are as accountable for your actions as anyone else, even if you think you can post anonymously tanpa dikesan.

A little information for whoever has such intentions tuk masuk blog orang with malicious intent (or if you're posting anything in that vein on the Net), just remember EVERYONE is traceable.
So far, the immediate blog affiliates of [klubbkidd's rave], which are blogs of Sultan Muzaffar, elkapitan, Juan Danza , Badrul and Afdlin Shauki have all received venomous, malicious, anonymous postings which are more often than not degrading in various forms as I have too.

Too often we delete them without much thought, until the episode where I wanted to lodge a police report on an abusive posting in my fotopages. However in my case, while the person remained anonymous, he/she emailed me an apology within the 24 hours reprieve notice I gave.
From now - be warned that we mean business when we say we won't tolerate this anymore!

Ni petikan dari The Malay Mail ari ni.


BLOG-BUSTER!
Blogger to pull plug on culprit
Halim Said

Kuala Lumpur, Sept 16: A blogger, angered by a seditious message on his weblog, intends to lodge a police report today against the sender. Peter Tan, who owns petertan.com/blog, said he will provide the Internet protocol (IP) address of the sender, nicknamed 'good man' to the police.
Tan, who started his blog two years ago, said the abusive message containing racial slurs was posted at 7.16pm last Sunday.
Tan, 39, from Penang, said he was puzzled when he saw the message, days after it was posted, as he was away attending a seminar for the disabled between Sept 10 and 14.
"As I had no access to the Net during the seminar, I could not screen the messages coming into the blog," said Tan, a paraplegic.
Tan admitted that he had received several malicious messages on the blog last month but had deleted them.
"I'm keeping this one (message) for the authorities. This has gone too far and I want the person who did it to be held accountable."

In the first case of its kind in Singapore, two men were charged in a district court on Sept 12 with making racist comments on the Internet. (see accompanying story) They faced charges under the Sedition Act, which has been in place since 1948. Though the Act was amended in 1972 and 1985, this is the first time it has ever been used against individuals. Offences under the Act carry a maximum jail term of three years and a S$5,000 (RM12,000) fine.

Yang mana satu?

Mmm...camna nak komen ni. Aku rasa aku paste jer lah kenyataan ni aku dapat dari Mawi FC.

Perhatian keluarga MAWI FC!!!
BOYCOTT EVO!!!
Posted by RibenaBerry on 9/14/2005 9:14:40 PM
Saya membuat saranan ni untuk elak warga MAWI FC - serta semua peminat Mawi daripada dipergunakan!!! Saya ada terbaca dalam blog klubbkidd (http://klubbkidd.blogdrive.com) (*uiks tima kasih kerana promosi) yang siri pertama album EVO akan keluar Isnin ni(Pembetulan ek - skang Selasa).
Lagu Aduh Saliha dimuatkan sekali dengan lagu-lagu dari Amy, Reza, Fuad dan Elliza. Persoalannya, ada pihak telah memberitahu saya, packaging untuk memuatkan empat orang lagi tu ialah kerana mereka tak mampu membuat tarikan cukup, dan adalah antara nama-nama yang paling 'lemah' dalam menarik minat pembeli. Jadi mereka pun 'menumpang' dalam EVO edisi pertama untuk dijajakan atas nama Mawi. Mari kita fikirkan logik.
Kalau sebagai peminat Mawi kita belikan album ini, kita hanya mendapat lagu Aduh Saliha - versi rakaman yang tak sesedap versi live yang sudah ada dalam kompilasi Mawi World. Kalau sebagai peminat kita nak sokong Mawi - belilah album originalnya yang sudahpun dikatakan akan keluar dipasaran mulai Oktober 17.
Semestinya versi sama Aduh Saliha akan turut dimuatkan dalam album Mawi kerana itu lah strategi Maestro. Kalau dilihatkan, lagu Milikku Zahid pun alami keadaan sama...sama seperti dengan lagu Tangisan Dalam Kerinduan Farah. Keduanya dari album EVO, kemudian dimuatkan dalam album Wo!!! dan Antara Dua.
Jadi janganlah jadi bodoh!!!
Jangan dipergunakan untuk membuat duit untuk orang lain. Royalti untuk Mawi dari EVO tu berapa sangat! JANGAN BELI ALBUM EVO HANYA KERANA MEREKA JAJA NAMA MAWI!
Saya tak kisah sangat si Amy tu, tapi setakat Reza, Elliza dan Fuad tu, perlu ke???
Dahlah tak laku - perangai masing-masing tak senonoh dan sah paling dikutuk media dari awal. Perlu ke kami, peminat Mawi yang mengangkat mereka???
SO INI LAH PESAN SAYA KEPADA SEMUA! JANGAN DIPERGUNAKAN! MINAT KAMI TERHADAP MAWI DIPERLEKEHKAN OLEH PIHAK TERTENTU UNTUK MEMBUAT UNTUNG!

My personal stand - aku rasa ada valid arguments ler dalam statement ni. It however depends gak.

Kalau anda membeli album ni tuk memiliki hanya lagu Aduh Saliha, then memang lah rasanya rugi gak sebab album Mawi akan keluar tak lama lagi.

Tapi kalau anda peminat Akademi Fantasia (tak kisah ler poyo ke apa ke...) then you will still buy this album.

Just remember ada dua agik kompilasi EVO pasni ngan gandingan sembilan pelajar lagik dalam dua kompilasi. Setiap kompilasi ada lima lagu, so seperti aku katakan awal-awal, one of the compilations akan ada lagu bonus dari pasangan terhangat dalam Akadami Fantasia.

Siapa?

Aisey...perlu ke cakap....Felix dan Akma ler...yang aku tau smalam aku call Akma memang konperm ler dia wat duet ngan...erm...sapa ek...

Apapun, jangan komen pasal artwork cover album ni - sebab rasanya aku da tau apa ramai nak katakan, because what you're going to say tu, is probably my first reaction to it.

Apapun - a little tired today.

Semalam lepas rush ke Astro (Sultan Muzaffar pun ada join aku skali!) gi x-fresh tuk follow interview Marsha kat sana ngan Burn dan Rizal. Had fun - it was a relaxed atmosphere (tak baik ko faraa-d asik dok SMS aku kata jangan menari masa webcast - bukan sengaja, camlah aku tau kamera kat mana) Tengah layan Marsha, Badrul lak muncul.

Lepak opis dia, sambil dia menceritakan about gathering yang akan diadakan tuk Akma FC. Tak paham tul ler kenapa orang kita ni suka sangat dengki. Dengar hanya sebab sister Akma sendiri membuat gath tu, ada yang tak puas ati, konon family gila kuasa. Camna tu?

Bab FC ni kan..aku rasa da malas aku. Ramai berebut nak buat - tapi ada yang ngan niat tak elok. Whatever it is....walaopon tak kena mengena - So far, I paling respect ZA8FC - because tak dapek apa-apa - we started with zero with nothing but sheer will and fan power, semua dari background berlainan- and we still pulled off a lot kan, guys...the first fan club bekas pelajar Akademi Fantasia yang power abih! Tima kasih pada mama dan papa Zahid ler yang oversee everything. They're the coolest!

Anyways - abih tu, gi lepak ngan Juan, yang dok hangin satu badan photoshoot dia ngan Edlin dan Nurul tak jadik.

Tuk pacify dia sikit, all of us go shopping ler outfits (leh kata outfits ker walaopon mix and match) tuk Anugerah Era. Nak feeling funky gak....(walaupon ada yang kertu tetap nak stylo katanya! Ampun Tuanku!)

Reached home quite late, terus KO. Tak jadi join si Juan Mawi sebab dia ada photoshot Raya,

Mana taknya, bangun pun da kul brapa. Aku terus gegas gi temujanji ngan abang Zoul - adik M. Nasir. Pas interview dia semua, rush lak jemput mak aku antar gi wat manicure dan pedicure pelbagai nya because I haven't indulged my mom in stuff like that for a while.

Habih je rush balik agik ke Klang.

Letih teramats!

Decided to send all my due stories by email sebab da lewat malam. Ni pun update blog sebagai kewajipan. Sat agik nak tidur...esok banyak lagik nak settle.

Adus...tak sabar ke Brunei...leh? Ala ala working but holiday gaks. Need to get away (padahal baru amik leave dua minggu)

Esok kalau sempat nak post ler pics Marsha kat x-fresh...tapi kalau sempat ler...ingat nak settle kan a few thing tomorrow...

By the way - malam esok aku akan posting result of the Akademi Fantasia III polls. So pepandai ler korang vote bebanyak skang ek! Aku bagik extension sehari.

Oh by the way...one more thing. Hampir terlupa. This Saturday of course ler Anugerah Era...tapi sapa yang tak dok sibok dan set rambut dan sebagainya can take note of this :

Fate

Let me get this out of the way first.

Yang pertama sekali berkenaan album live Mawi. Pada mereka yang bertanyakan berapa jumlah album Mawi yang dijual, memang setakat ni, angkanya masih 153,000. Angka tu, bukan je album yang terjual, but also the number of units available in the market at the moment. Ertinya...selagi belum habis the remainder of 153,000 tu, tak ada order baru ler dari retail outlets dan angka tutakkan berganjak.

Ok...skang move on to Felix. The total of units shipped out stakat ni (dan memang dengan teramat pantasnya terjual gak) is 20,000. Walaupun orang kata tak sehebat Mawi, it's already considered good sebab artist yang established skang pun tak janji sampai angka tu. And it's still climbing, so Felix too is enjoying the success that Mawi has been basking in these last few weeks.

Jangan lupa...seminggu dua ni is divas week!!!

Khamis ni (Jumaat bagi Lembah Klang), album live Amyleam Koleksi Lagu-Lagu Terbaik Konsert AF3 - Best of Amylea pula akan dipasarkan. Ini akan diikuti oleh album live Marsha, Koleksi Lagu-Lagu Terbaik Konsert AF3 - Best Of Marsha next Thursday (and again Friday di Lembah Klang).

Meanwhile album kompilasi EVO siri pertama akan dipasarkan mulai Isnin depan. Album kompilasi pertama tu akan memuatkan Mawi, sekali ngan Amy dan Reza as well as yang tompang sebab takkan laku kalau takde nama Mawi... Elliza dan Fuad.

Ingat, guys...beli yang original!!!

Terima kasih pada Zezz Records for the information and the cover art exclusively to [klubbkidd's rave].

Let's see...with the albums info out of the way...apa aku buat ek these past few days tak masuk entry baru?

Hah...on Monday called up Yazer nak wish happy birthday (stoned mamai mamat tu baru bangung tidur nak gegas gi photoshoot). Ni malam ni kena call surprise Ekin lak sebab birthday dia besok.

Sempat call Marsha gayut (makan ati lagik elkapitan) nak cita pasal tu ni...masa tu dia dan Amy dalam perjalanan ke rakaman tuk lagu Raya. Dah seminggu lebih meka ni sibok je tema Raya...yerlah...ngan album Raya Akademi Fantasia, lum agik bab Dari Studio 1 (tuk Raya gak tak slap aku). Lum agik rehearsal tuk show Brunei 23 dan 24 Sept ni...kira yang tak laku show pun leh sibuk (Oops...I did it again!!!). Sempat gak cita ngan Marsha pasal website dia sebab her sis and brother-in-law ada email pasal menda tu - by the way, jangan lupa, Marsha's official site yang tengah construction is now at marshalondoh.com

Gawd...busy nak mampus...had to do this stinkin' new boyband PC, North yang sign ngan EMI Malaysia (boo!) yang ada duet skali ngan Vince (yeah!) dalam album meka on a song called I Wonder, a cover version of orang Kuala Lipis punya Aku inta Padamu (boo!)
That and sorting out stuff for Anugerah Era (nak pakai apa ek - Badrul takper laa ada sponsor ngan era.fm)...and various miscellaneous assignments yang aku kena clear dalam seminggu ni termasuk column sebelum leh gi Brunei.

Oh...by the way, pada mereka yang nak tau apa schedule kami kat Brunei, seriously guys, aku tak ada jadual apa-apa tuk aktiviti kat sana. So tak guna tanya aku. Kalau ada pun aku rasa mungkin aku takleh post kan. Yang aku tau, kami akan berlepas 20hb September jer....

Errr....apart from that...nothing much.

Ooh...on the personal front ada benda ni. Met someone who was sweet and all that almost two months ago. Didn't get a number, gave mine...and usual story...never got a call or SMS. Tapi semalam dia call aku kita kuar minum...katanya rindu nak jumpa aku....(amik ko!). Katanya awal-awal dia nak call tapi terhilang nombor. tak caya lak...tapi tengok-tengok, member dia couple ngan member aku sorang...so dia beranikan diri mintak nombor baru-baru ni...

Things went on fine. Nothing happened...but it was nice to see there are people out there who think of you.

Me? My vengeance is still thick at getting back at someone...BIG TIME! (hell hath no fury...) but

I guess I can be moving on soon - after aku dah zalimi dia maximum! (gelak sampai tergolek - memang takleh pakai punya manusia dia ni) But otherwise...I'm at peace with myself already - don't think so? Does it matter to me?

Aaaaaaaannnnyyyywaaaaayyyy....I'll sign off this posting for now. Kang kalau aku dapat cover album EVO aku posting kan.... Toodles...

By the way... Atmopshere @ twelveSI is presenting former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm, or Melanie C as she's better known, in a rare acoustic showcase on Friday 16th September @ 10pm. Tatau details lebih....tu je. Kalau minat risik sendiri...
