Relief

Yes!!! Arini memang besh gila!

Let's see, of course it was payday yesterday...but the besh was that today, all my arrears were banked in and my bank account ran deep into five digits!

Terasa kaya...walaupun pas ni the numbers will definitely shrivel like certain bodyparts in certain conditions sebab nak dump the money into several investments and such.

Hopefully this marks the start of my anticipated great financial year.

Work was ok...tapi dalam keja banyak, ceria je. Ala ala feeling Snow White And The Seven Dwarves leh whistle while you work gituh.

Was running a bit late in meeting Wanie to pick up some stuff, but managed to catch Hatta nak finish up his pieces for Ning, Nikki and Erra Fazira.

Had to run last minute sebab da janji Syed lak nak jumpa dia ngan Erra kat Menara Pan Global. Bumped into Bill Bora, and proceeded up to get the fitting done.

Meka tengah shooting movie rupanya. Umie Aida popped in halfway, and si Hans pun ada.

Sebab rushing didn't bother to ask anything and got the fitting midway done masa shooting. Sebab meka shooting this office like environment, terpaksa ler tukar dalam cubicle. Dahler takde lampu sangat. Keji lak rasanya...but awmigawddddd....Erra memang fabulous la badan dia.

And the dress just fit her like a glove. She is definitely without a doubt one of Malaysia's prettiest celebrities ler. Undoubtedly! Memang takde masaalah and Erra and Syed as well love the whole outfit which was quite Valentino. Kudos ler sebab Hatta berjaya gak pikat ati meka ngan his creation.

Abih jer tuh, we were both actually kind of tired walaupun puas ati...so cadang nak balik terus. On the way, dropped balik office, sebab nak pop into the rehearsal Anugerah Bintang Popular yang diadakan disana.

Yerlah....performers semua ada, senang nak adjust final adjust final schedule for them. Pening gak sebenarnya nak handle benda benda camni, and aku salute ler Akademi, pihak Berita Harian and all for their hard work.

Congrats ler pada the whole team sebab manage to put on a great concerted effort.Sampai je bumped into Jac leaving, so set her appointment for final fitting too. Sekali abang Amy dan wife dia pun baru sampai.

Masuk je, nampak Rizman, Wan and Angel da sampai. So after customary his and all, with Ziana and her manager Lisa, semua masuk bilik air nak wat fitting.

Amik ko...another masterpiece!

Kalau korang tengok pic tuh, si Rizman yang pose semacam (cam perli kak Ziana jer...tunggu aku adu!).

Ziana lak...terkejut sebenarnya nak pose tak sempat (candid ler best!)

Saja tanak posting pic pic yang posing overdose. Anyways, we were satisfied and decided to call it a day and sit in on the rehearsal sat.

Budak budak V.E. semua ada. Tak sempat sembang panjang...kak Aishah pun ada. Ning, Misha and several other artistes da balik.

Sempat tengok Ziana go one more round after a tempo change, and a little of the V.E. boys have a go at the mic.

Ramli M.S. yang musical director, so you know where you're at with that.

Finally decided nak gerak, I made a move with Mawi, Nasser, abang Aman and gang sebab nak discuss ngan Mawi dan Nasser pasal bila lak kita nak fitting.

Seperti biasa Mawi punya schedule packed sangat. Jumaat lak meka da nak naik Genting Highlands. Silap silap, da naik tuk rehearsal kat Arena of Stars, malam tu kena turun balik lak nak siap kan baju. Kalau camtuh, memang next day Saturday kena one mroe round naik bukit ler.

Kesian lak kat dia. Aku memang plan nak gerak Ahad jer. Tapi silap silap aku Sabtu da ada kat sana...tengok plan camna dulu.

Sempat ler tengah wat lawak pasal lagu Ishtar (memang lagu tuh besh ok dan memang in my favourites playlist skang...tunggu nak ke Singapore nak cari CD kalau try nasib esok nak carik atau booking kat Tower Records tak jadi).

If nothing else, the whole kes about ciplak and all, membuka my eyes to Ishtar's brand of pop. Wat aku nak dengar agi lagu lagu dia...from the samples I've heard, I'm really impressed....

Anyways, dalam nak balik tuh, naik lif, si Mawi sempat pose tuk one pic for the blog (keji kan ko Nasser!) Er...pose santai ke...pose gayart naik lif...pose haper pun la...aku pun tatau. Tapi rileks...chill jer.

Hit Amin Thai kat seksyen 7 tuk melantak sebab kebulur da. Abih je headed balik to the kids' home kat 16 sebab nak sambung an informal discussion ala post-mortem.

Puas ati gak ler...

Minor alterations je needed.

Nothing major...so that's a relief. Semakin dekat Anugerah Bintang Popular ni, banyak lak aku kena prepare before hand because I'll be doing several job up on the hill.

Takperler. This is my litmus stress to my already skyrocketing blood pressure. It's a good test of how to juggle so many tasks and yet try and remain sane, as well as calm and composed...especially with all the trivial crap going around me from those haters who just keep bugging me.

La la la...sucks to be you folks.

Lum agik masuk bab Anugerah Bintang Popular ujung minggu ni. Ada je freeloaders nak tag along. Tak sedau diri tul.

Aw please lah. Get a proper job first. But what to do...there are leeches everywhere no matter what.

I'll just focus on my job, but thank the security for doing theirs in keeping the riff raff out so that I can get my work done. Too much to do and too little time to bother with insignificant freaks.

Eh...nak check some emails and go beddy bye....happy holidays pada semua yang tak keja esok...lain la seperti di opis orang ni yang da la kena keja tak bayar triple. Merasalah...

Yeah yeah!

Bilalah gaji nak keluar ni. Pening tunggu.

Pas beli laptop ni (cash ok, tak mian hutang-hutang) pokai lak. Tapi seb baik takde la hutang keliling pinggang. I can actually die free from debt unline most people.

Still, seperti biasa time takd duit nih ler berlambak sale, and that makes it almost a test of faith for me bila jejak mall tengok kiri kanan ada sale.

That's why I've been staying away from malls from the past couple of days.

Until tadi.

Dalam sibuk banyak keja nak abihkan, kena lak gi Mid Valley Megamall untuk pelacaran album VE, bertajuk...erm...VE & Friends. How creative.

Anyway tuk peminat VE anyway, album ni is actually not considered the group's second full studio album.

This is more of a collaboration album ngan kerjasama bersama ramai agik artis. ERA da play to death Tak Mengapa yang featuring Datuk A. Rahman Hassan.

But there's another tune which I think they're pushing titled Kerana Cintamu which features all-girl vocal group, Quadrose...sedap gak pendatang baru nih,

Kira all in all the album is a pleasure daripada segi vocal quality, tapi I think they seriously need to change the direction of their music a little. Still, no matter what, VE is definitely THE tightest vocal group act in the country.

Other artistes yang featured dalam album ni include RuffEdge, TooPhat, Vince, Shazzy, Ella, KRU, Phlowtron, Reefa, Nur Fatima and Urban Exchange.

Korang kalau jenis beli album (jangan ler download jer lak) gett his, cause it really is worth ler.

Sempat ler sembang panjang ngan Cham, sebab lama da tak jumpa. All of the boys are cool, but Cham has been the most chummiest with me because he really is cool.

Found out that everyone's got their own company. These guys kan..memang aku admire ler sebab meka ni kerja keras. Of many 'artistes' I know...tak semua yang work for their keep.

These boys do...and my hats off to them.

Anyway, balik soal album VE & Friends, keep an eye out for the music video of Tak Mengapa yang akan keluar tak lama lagi.

Album VE & Friends diedarkan oleh EMI Music Malaysia and has been available dari 11 Januari. CD berharga RM24.90 dan kaset RM16.90.

Malas nak tulis banyak ari ni. Banyak lak keja.

Ni pun letih sebab abih keja je ke Perstauan Akademi Industri Muzik Malaysia, nak settle kan bab Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian.

By the way, final judging untuk Anugerah Industri Muzik di jalankan Ahad lepas. Sorry Jen cause I couldn't make it (Ahad pun aku bangun lambat anyways), so maybe next year.

Here's hoping that this year's AIM will rise from the ashes (gitu!)

Okler...nak ciao. Full day tomorrow.

Who are you again?

Finally some time off. Hari ni Adly MC, dan Meor lak sibuk, akibatnya, I have to shoulder the responsibility of delegating tasks to everyone and check on everything to coordinate.

Peningnya. Ni pun aku baru dapat merehat, while having supper at Uncle Don.

Sekali ngan Juan yang belanja makan tuk ari ni (yeay!!! - jarang tau nak merasa ni)

Sambil sambil tu, si Mohariz dropped by and joined us for a drink sambil sembang benda benda yang berlaku the past one or two days. Memang banyak nak cita...dari cita kat Melodi pasal Elyana dan Nikki, sampai ke cita lagu Nora ciplak.

Where do I start.

Ok...camni, terima kasih pada segala kutukan dan perlian dan statement statement sewaktu dengannya yang telah pun aku jawab dalam forum tu sendiri. Dari sini, aku malas nak ulang statement aku sebab jawab banyak kali, kalao jenis yang sekali tak paham, nak wat per kan?

They'll never understand.

All I can say is, yang berani cakap, ngaku jer lah kan? Aku selama ni orang kata laser dan sebagainya. But I never hid behind this cloak of anonymity dan aku selalu mengaku apa aku katakan.

Nak sebutkan pasal kroni ke apa...lantak lah. Aku rasa camtuh, semua artis kroni aku.Cuma yang mulut tak sesuai ngan status mereka yang tak seberapa. Buat baik...kita pun buat baik.

So kalao anyone nak leave a nasty comment here, pikir berkali kali dulu, cause at the end of the day, again, this is my blog. Thereis a disclaimer on the right, so don't come in here if you don't fancy exposing yourself to my views.

Kan? Senang. Selain nya aku da jawab dalam Cari forum (tima kasih pada warga sana yang memahami). Selebihnya, adu jer kat pihak Melodi yang membuat production tu.

Bab lagu Nora, aku rasa korang da baca cita pasal lagu Secebis Harapan. Sememangnya forum Cari yang first nak sebut pasal bab ni ngan link ke youtube yang nunjukkan link video.

Masalaahnya, lagu tu tak dapat dikesan original version nya because the song kat youtube was performed by a singer yang pernah menyertai Idol versi meka musim pertama, ketika membuat persembahan program tuh dalam musim kedua.

Anyway, baru baru ni ada pembaca datang ke pejabat kami mengadu.
Dia membawa CD artis Israel bernama Ishtar yang ala ala pangkat Siti Nurhaliza di Isreal ni.

Citernya, dia tengah wat keja, sambil pasang TV. Time tu Anugerah Juara Lagu on, dan berkumandang lagu Secebis Harapan. So dia pun recognise.

Dia korek koleksi CDnya dan terjumpa album bertajuk The Voice of Alabina. The song titled Horchat Hai Caliptus ditulis pada tahun 1963 dan dimuatkan dalam album Ishtar dalam 2003.

The rest you can pretty make out for yourself what is the status of Secebis Harapan by listening and comparing.

Not infringing on the copyright, aku offer download verse lagu Secebis Harapan versus Horchat Hai Caliptus. The first download is the first verse. File ni dalam bentuk mp3.

First, verse pertama Secebis Harapan seperti didendangkan oleh Nora, followed by Ishtar's Horchat Hai Caliptus.

Second file tu, first chorus of Secebis Harapan, then Horchat Hai Caliptus. Siapa yang tak pernah dengar, bandingkan sendiri. Apa pendapat korang?

It doesn't take someone who is musically trained to come up with a conclusion. If you like either song, aku masih galakkan to BUY THE ORIGINAL and not download.

Tu disclaimer nak announce ler kan, kalao tak orang kata aku galakkan piracy lak ngan illegal downloads.

Respecting intellectual property is still important no matter what.

This is the two different cover art untuk album Ishtar.

So anxious nak tau sebenarnya apa bunyinya Horchat Hai Caliptus dan betul ke sama sangat ngan Secebis Harapan seperti yang didakwa?

Dengar sendiri ngan right click where it says CLICK HERE dibawah and pilih, SAVE TARGET AS untuk memulakan download. Save it to your appropriate destination. Pepandai ler korang ek...sebab kalao bandwidth kang da abih nak download, jangan salahkan aku mintak letak agik.

Letih lor....

Apapun, enjoy playing judge with your personal opinion.

To download Secebis Harapan vs Horchat Hai Caliptus - CLICK HERE.
To download Secebis Harapan vs Horchat Hai Caliptus - CLICK HERE

So korang click sekali and dia automatically buka dalam player korang. Kalao takleh, erm...no komen ler. Or find the originating URL dan download sendiri ok.

Ok ler nak tidur. Esok another full day.

Selain keja, kena lak ke Persatuan Akademi Industri Muzik Malaysia punya office nak collect passes for Anugerah Bintang Popular as well as nak send the info nak register security passes lain.

So much to do, so little time...and so little patience to give a damn about things that don't pay me anything. Baik aku keja...night all...

Tattoo and trash

Started the day with a laugh. Malas cakap apa apa. Korang pun da nonton Melodi ari nih kan?

Siapa yang tak tengok, lupakakan ler.

Apapun, bab tu aku cerita lebih sikit esok. Tunggu reaksi yang memang aku agak akan dipergunakan beberapa pihak yang kecoh lebih nak amik kesempatan hentam jer keja tanpa tau pokok pangkal cita.

Whatever. Biasalah...that's why they say ignorance is bliss.

Got my tat done today. Yeah!!!

Oh...and if kalau ada yang nak kutuk aku sebab dapat tattoo...suka ati aku. Mausk sini tengok, baca, curi info dan pic, pastu masuk sana sini kutuk aku konon. Strange kan...tapi still nak baca blog aku.

This is a no loser zone. So bye bye to you if you belong to that category.

Takyah ler masuk sini.

Got to Finnegan's to meet my sis dan Jida. They were having lunch, since I already had mine, layan laptop jer ler sat.

When we finished, we strolled over to Borneo Ink nearby. My first time merting Eddie, one of the world's best tattooists!

Eddie is Sarawakian, and definitely has an eye for detail. Dia ni pun bukan calang calang.

Educated, just like the rest of his siblings, semua turn to tattooing sebab the art of it.

For those yang tak minat, dan nak kecoh jer pasal aku tattoo...takyah ler nak read on. Dan kalau nak curi pics ni dan nak posting memana tuk nak kutuk aku, paling tidak kredit ler blog aku ek so orang leh baca cerita aku sepenuhnya yer.

The tattoo is my second and the first colour one I've gotten.

Ilham daripada my own imagination and hasil my own sketch. Symbolism dia, that I may wear my heart on my sleeve for the world to see...which exposes me to a lot of things.

Yerlah...honesty is often mistaken for brashness...so how do you tell people who are ignorant of the differences? The dragon is symbolise not only the characteristics I emody in the spirit of my zodiac (born in 1976, the year of the fire dragon - symbolising fearlessness, anger and leadership traits among others).

In the end, no matter what...my strength of character prevails...and I will persevere to the end.

Leh?

Anyways, the tattoo cost RM400 and three hours to finish. Worth every sen for the statement.

In the end it didn't hurt as much as my Iban one masa gi Sarawak Cultural Village some time ago. The experience definitely made this one easier.

Ni dia tattooist aku si Eddie. First dia amik ilham lukisan aku dan kemaskan. Then dia tekap stensil tuh kat lengan aku. Then jarum pun start. Sakit? Taklah (control macho!)


The three stages of my tattoo. First yang stencil which is stuck on my arm. Then the tattooed outline. Finally, the coloured and finished tattoo. Ok?

Ni tools of the trade. First laying out the colours. Sebanyak 10 warna digunakan tuk shading dan sebagainya. Ni part of the colours used. Cam kelas lukisan lak. Dalam seronok...tengok ler jarum digunakan. Seb baik penah...kalau tak pengsan aku.

Abih dah balik rumah sat. Merasalah mak aku nak tengok cantik ke tak tattoo aku. I'm thankful

I have the most beautiful parents who are understanding. And not to mention my lovely sister who footed the bill as part of my Christmas present.

Thanks too to Jida sebab temankan join sekali ek.

Abih je, balik rumah sat, dan pastu kuar balik ke Shah Alam untuk jumpa Pyan, Judd dan Abby tuk ke show Dayang kat Planet.

I lasted the whole first set, pastu malas lak sebab ramai orang. Rimas and claustrophobic. Walaupun ada meja malas nak duduk. Takperla...kang masa Ella punya show nanti aku party out. For now...I don't think so.

Had a drink outside to spend time on my own and update my blog.

Oh by the way, korang tau the row of plaster moulds kan yang ada handprints celebrities kat luar Planet Hollywood? Guess whose yang fit aku paling sesuai. Amik ko....Goldie Hawn.

Padahal rasanya Rosanne Barr! Kecik gila tangan aku ek....merasalah badan lak tak kena.

Once it was over, balik terus and got some sleep.

Kalau korang nak baca review show yang memang best gila (aku paling suka Dayang nyanyi Irreplaceable - sesuai ngan mood aku), CLICK HERE (kalau dia da terasa rajin nak update ler)

Ok ler...da lewat...nak tidur.

Esok aku try update secepat mungkin sebab memang banyak kerja. Aku akan update what I can, tapi aku tak janji what time I'm going to do it sebab I am really bogged down.

And by the way... to that person. I'm sorry I can't come back to you anymore. Aku masih sayang kau...tapi aku tanak...sebab aku da belajar daripada kesilapan aku. Cukup lah kita berkawan yer.

Anyway, bersedia lah untuk kelaharan esok kang sebab aku rasa banyak reaksi berdasarkan SMS member-member yang aku dapat.

Apapun, esok aku kuar statement aku lak ek. Tapi sebenarnya perlu ke nak cakap apa pun?

Going to sleep...night all.

Alam Morphosis

Didn't have time nak posting sangat yesterday sebab kelam kabut sikit.

Anyway, continuation dari malam semalam, nak wish Alam dan Co. congratulations sebab launching Alam Morphosis!

Morph Talent and so on is now a legit entity (da lama pun) and aku tumpang bangga sebab my former editor skang da berjaya nak menapak ngan sendiri tan pa bantuan sesapa.

He's inspired me to do better for myself and ignore people who only know how to talk, and criticise like they know how to do it, but don't.

Dari pengalaman menulis, bakat dan juga pendidikan dia, he's made it.

So congrats again Alam! Usha ler Wayang Kita for his Alam Morphosis t shirt yang dia pakai tuh.

Best gak semalam dalam letih dan ngantuk rush ke launching event of Morph kat the National Press Club.

Ramai lak orang. Warga Astro, media, dan artis ramai. Especially geng Akademi Fantasia.

Pompuan yang aku ingat...Ekin, Edlin, Akma, Marsha, Liza, Nana (anak sedara Alam gak and a resident of Sungai Mati - tul ke nonok ko pun dari Sungai Mati) while the boys lak included Bob, Yazer, Kaer, Fitri, Kefli...aduh...ramai sangat aku pun pening nak ingat semua.

Tak kuasa lak nak wat note guest list. So these are the pics for you guys.

Spending the whole of today to just sleep. Malam lak kuar joget sat...lama da tak kuar pun.
Nak lepas tension...esok nak wat my tattoo. Matilah sesapa nak kutuk aku kerana nak buat.

Bukan kulit korang.

And not forgetting...nak gi Planet Hollywood tuk Dayang punya Sunday Nite Live, sebab da janji nak drop by.

So party on!!!

Si Iqram feeling rempit naik motor masa kami lepak kat luar. Si Bob...erm tambah kurus sikit...(puji sikit) sambil tu si Fitri rupanya dah boroi! Aiyak!!! Weiii sit up sikit! Next pic si Yazer berangan tough dan macho followed by Alam the man himself! Nana sambil gayut pun leh pose (merasalah malas nak turn the pic nampak stylo sikit) and last all the girls melalak Teman Tapi Mesra.

Akhirnya Cerita Cinta

Malas nak tulis pepanjang ari nih. It's the end of the week, so aku tulis sikit sikit jer lah ek.

Earlier today....not ler early but in the middle of the night...I had my first bite of McDonalds selepas sebulan lebih. Sepeas tengok Upsize, terus tak berani sentuh the Golden Arches. Dah berjanji ngan dia sekali supaya tak sentuh junk food camtuh.

Then again...semalam pas aku sahkan aku dan dia tak ada apa lagi kat phone, aku for some reason felt a need to eat something from McDonalds. So I grabbed some take-away sebelum keluar ngan Puteri dan ED. The rest of them convoyed, so tak kisah ler. We went and grabbed some...I had my Spicy Chicken McDeluxe set, the fries which I gave bebudak.

Eew...McDonalds fries are the worst ok. Nevermind, korang usha docudrama Upsize. Then korang tau. Anyway....rasa sayu lak tengok iklan Prosperity Burger sebab teringat dia sebulan nih dia nak sangat makan tuh....sebab terkenangkan lazat katanya.

Shit!

F******* memories. Tak perlu betul!

Nevermind ler...it was good while it lasted. Aku terima je. Besides, I made the decision to end it kan? Why should I regret it.

But it was only later aku memang regret gila sebab aku nak brak up face to face. Tak nak lah over the phone. Sebelum ni aku tanak bersemuka, but at 5.30am, an unGodly hour....ketuk pintu and jumpa dia.

Talked and talked....and silap aku. I did something I promised I would never do.

We talked things over and ended it on a peaceful note though. So that's a relief.

How do I feel now? Mixed feelings ler.

Relief...and yet loneliness. Freedom and yet frustrated. Boleh?

Aku mungkin rasa aku sedih sebab kesilapan kesilapan dia buat berulang kali yang mengagalkan perhubungan kami. But oh well...times like this...ni jer lagu paling sesuai untuk aku.

Shit...it's the weekend da. Malas nak pikir. Gaji pun nak kuar. I'll indulge in a little retail theraphy. I'm sure I won't feel so blur.

Tengah wifi tengah Bukit Bintang ni sambil melantak kat kedai kak Ara. Saja singgah ngan Wanie selepas fitting dan sesi promo and interview kat Habab Jewels bersama ngan Mawi.

Penat siot lari sana lari sini. Nak wat per. Nak cari rezeki. Biarlah orang cakap apaun, janji setiap hasil usaha titik peluh aku HALAL!

I work for everything I've got...so sucks to be you ler pada orang yang dengki kalau keja tuh bak limelight pada aku. Tak mintak pun. Glamer bukan leh bagik makan kan?

Perlu ke feeling konsep artis majaalah ni?

Anyway, spent a relaxed couple of hours in Habib (tima kasih pada keluarga Habib for their hospitality). Sambil pilih barang barang accessories tuk pakaian Mawi ketika red carpet dan juga untuk ketika persembahan, we also managed to get the fittng out of the way.

Pihak Berita Harian wat photography dan interview sekali. Standard...cam all the artiste session sebelum ni. Ni the pics...korang enjoy...lotih nak cita panjang sebab pics pun banyak nak letak.

Kalau nak tau, the pieces selected by Mawi, erm...takyah ler letak harga. But the brooch satu pun dah RM14,000 lebih. Power gila...aduh...bila la nak afford jewellery camni.

We had a fun session. Relaxed and no stress sebab Friday. Apapun, pas abih segala, si Mawi lak gatal lak nak cuba jadik photographer. Katanya dia ada camera canggih kat rumah yang tak reti dia pakai.

So dapat ler free lessons on how to handle a camera. Leh tak kalau ikut pose nak jadik professional photographer lak?

Ok...really tired...calling it an entry....till the next...

Boring day

Tu dia...kalau korang ada hantar undian untuk Anugerah Bintang Popular, ni korang punya entries di hantar masuk di evaluate kan oleh kengkawan di meja hiburan Berita Harian.

Hadiah and all banyak ler nak menang...so wait for it.

Semua pemenang, tak silap aku, akan diberitahu sehari dua ni. So kalau tak dapat panggilan by Monday, it means korang tak menang ler.

Sebenarnya aku ari ni relax sikit.

Ada banyak benda nak fikirkan, so not really occupying myself with anything, to free my mind and really focus on some things which I have to sort out.

Ni kalao korang masuk, korang perasan ada diminta disertakan gambar pengirim kan? Ala ala macam masuk personals advertising office ngan gambar-gambar individu individu yang cun cun melecun bersepah atas meja.

Yang bestnya siap ada nombor phone mobile ngan office and home number selain dari alamat.

Amik ko!!!

Anyway...

Aku malas nak posting entry yang panjang hari ni kerana aku nak abihkan keja aku nih as well as sort out some affairs.

Esok, usha usha ler entry aku dalam petang, sebab aku kena gi Habib Jewels ngan Wanie, yang design baju tuk Mawi.

Ngan Mawi, kita nak pilih barang kemas yang sesuai yang boleh dikenakan ngan dia (takyah spekulasi...tau je kami apa yang leh apa yang takleh). Nanti aku posting sesuatu ngan pics ek.

Plus...aku ada cita panas.

Tau tak korang ada sorang penyanyi kat Anugerah Juara Lagu yang mulut cam lahar, semalam wat hal? Hah!!!

Lagik panas...ada lagu dalam Anugerah Juara Lagu baru baru ni...sebenarnya lagu penyanyi terkenal dari Israel yang di ciplak? More news on that later.

Memang takde orang tau setakat nih...ok nak ciao...!

First and foremost, terima kasih to everyone yang SMS jawapan. Berpuluh entry gak aku terima sampai inbox aku pun kelam kabut sikit.

But the first one to masuk my inbox at 1.16pm was from Budiey. Alah...blogger gak menang.

Hah...so korang kena ler lebih alert dan rajin sikit nak checking for updates.

This won't be the last competition....so korang standby. Aku tanak bagik notice awal sangat, sebab last minute ler baru tengok nasib betul-betul...kan...kan...kan...

Jumpa Budiey tadik kat izzi...my fave hangout.

Abih je press conference Anugerah Bintang Popular, aku gerak ke izzi nak abihkan keja nak hantar ke office. Biasalah...malas balik nak meredah jam kat Sungai Besi from Mines. Keji sangat jalan sana ada je construction. Dari dulu...

So official prize presentation da amik tempat ek...nanti aku upload pics lak, atau ko leh check kat Budiey nya blog tuk review konsert tuh, sebab aku rasa program aku penuh this weekend tak dapek pegi.

Ni ler Budiey yang nak cover line rupa sebenarnya. Click namanya untuk ke blog nya. Tahniah kepadanya for winning two tickets to the Boyz II Men concert kat Genting Highlands Jumaat ni. Jangan lupa update review ek!

Sidang akhbar siang tadik besh...sempat ler sok sek sana sini, korek gosip, dan terjah orang gak. Jangan ingat abang Nas jer leh terjah tau...bezanya jer akutakde kamera.

Jangan marah abang Nas. By the way, to abang Nas, atau lebih dikenali melalui forum sebagai abang rambut ketak, tima kasih kerana sudi menjemput aku tuk jayakan program Gedik Santai kang. Calling calling je...erm...bayaran berapa....(matilah aku kena maki kang).

Aduh...yang allergic sikit, besi kat muka kena tanggal semua kalao nak on-air. Part tuh je yang jenuh sikit.

Banyak pics sebenarnya aku amik, tapi aku select berapa favourite aku yang aku posting. Server imageshack gila sikit....

Pics ni ada yang tak clear, so minta ampun abih sebab Nokia aku kian hari kian uzur...tunggu ek yang baru take over.

Enjoy the pics...and be posting tomorrow. Nak balik for some lovin' with my baby...oops...ex baby.

Yes, we're still good friends. Ada harapan nak kembali bersama? Bak kata Linda dan Fahrin...kalau ada jodoh...leh gituh?

Empat gambar pilihan dari sidang akhbar Anugerah Bintang Popular - Berita Harian. Siti...comel dan tambah ayu. Mawi...erm...bila potong rambut. Si Fahrin ngan anak sapa ntah...dan Dayang pose istimewa tuk aku.

Frazzled and fizzle...

Looks like I burnt out ler today. Mana taknya, aku hyper dua tiga hari nih lari sana lari sini.

So today entry pasai apa? Pasal promo sikit ek. Hope korang bersabar sikit ek. Ala...promo pun yang kena mengena ngan topik...which is what else, but more music events for you guys to go to.

First of all, jangan lupa ek, korang...for those yang minat Dyanag Nurfaizah, pop by for Planet Hollywood's Sunday Nite Live

Aku recycle promo nih, sebab nak reminder sikit about the show this Sunday night. Aku rasa aku pegi kot Ahad nih, sebab miss the last.

Lagikpun, lama da tak lepak kat Planet Hollywood. Lain ler dulu sanggup nih bersengkang mata walaupun working the next day, lepak sampai tutup.

So sesapa nak gi Dayang punya event, see you guys there ok.
Selain tuh, just to warm you guys up, kalau minat gak...Ella's event for Sunday Nite Live is next month.

Cantik tak gambar Ella yang baru. Aduih...very the dara sunti gituh.

Now this is rock chic. Merasalah Elyana nak capai look nih tak jadik jadik. But seriously, I think Ella looks AWESOME here!

Stylo and so freaking sexy in all simplicity. Why can't more artistes do more makeovers like this, kan?

Aku bagitau awal awal so kalao korang nak tempat duduk, dining ker haper, leh call booking skang kalao tak takde tempat lak.

Aku budget Ella punya mesti packed gila gak.

I know the last time Ella perform there memang abih penuh...

Showtime for Sunday Nite Live, standard ler begins at 10.30pm, with two sets of 45 minutes each.

Entrance fee for Sunday Nite Live with Ella is also RM40, like Dayang's, inclusive of one drink.
For further inquiries, please call 03- 2144 6602 .

Sesapa yang tatau (mustahil kot), Planet Hollywood is located at KL Plaza, Jalan Bukit Bintang.
KAlau korang pergi, dan nampak aku, tegur tegur ek! Tapi jangan mintak belanja kalau ujung bulan (lawak bangang...) sebab aku da pokai time time tuh.

Merasalah akibat impulsive shopping berlebihan. But I think this Sunday should be ok kot sebab gaji mesti da kuar time tuh.

Apapun, if you guys are going to be there this Sunday, ask to see my tattoo kalau ko jumpa aku, sebab siang tuh aku akan dapat my second tatto (nak berlagak sikit)

Before end this posting, nak gak add sikit lagik.

Ni ada bonus pics, untuk korang ramai sangat suka performance M. Nasir dan Mawi untuk Lagu Jiwa Lagu Cinta.

Yerlah kan...bila lagik nak tengok Mawi berambut.

I don't think it was the best performance, honestly. Secara jujur, memang berterabur sikit persembahan tuh, like I said.

Tapi pada masa yang sama, takde siapa (kat stadium ler...tatau ler yang dok depan TV) leh nafikan, it was a rockin' performance.

I did enjoy it, and for me, it was entertaining, which is the main intention of a stage show.

Teringat aku pernah interview Avril Lavigne masa di Singapore. Masa uh aku ada soal dia kenapa dia poser, pakai gitar, tapi main tak sampai empat chord, and then nyanyi sumbang ketika show.

Jawapan dia senang je.

She said something along these lines, "If you expect everything to be perfect like on the CD, then you can just buy the CD for all I care. My fans pay to see me onstage, do something to wow them and that always takes priority."

Setuju sangat. Walaupun aku selalu tekankan kepentingan vocals and so many other aspects, I admit Lagu Jiwa Lagu Cinta was so wrong...it was just right.

By the way, reminder sikit...kalao korang nak curi pic ni nak letak mana, please ler at least letak link ke blog aku. Tak susah kan?

Senang je...hargai ler usaha orang ek. Tima kasih ler bebanyak.

Aduh,.,,tak tahan aku rambut pelesu meka tuh. Si M. Nasir memang da cam anak didik dia sorang agik, si Yazxer. Pinjam baju Yazer ke nih. And second pic tuh, aiyo..Mawi duduk sampai cam haper...takut aku. Tergelak aku... tapi ini memang one of Mawi's better shows for me.

Ok, esok ada entry special sikit. Hope you guys check it out for something special...kalao korang minat Boyz II Men. That's all I'm saying.

Busy busy busy

Today got up early, and started work immediately. That's what feeling good can do for you. Some of us get paid to make a living and do what we do, so takyah ler complain kan.

Essentially, names and titles don't matter, neither does self glorification for grabbing credit for others' work...cause there's a difference when you're in charge of what you do, rather than being hired help out for that limelight.

Rushed a little pas abih settle four articles. Ada meeting ngan Jac kat Habib Jewels with Zura, jer designer.

We're supposed to pick more jewellery today. So hooray for that...looking at more diamonds.

We were a little late sebab of some complications, and when we got there, it immediately started raining.

My goodness, bila ler nak let up on the showers ni.

Jac was already picking pieces, so me and Zura got straight to it, helping her go through a collection of sparklers.

Sambil wat tuh, lari keluar kejap kejap sebab nak bantu lak Nizam dan Wanie as well as pihak Habib Jewels tuk pilih barang barang perhiasan (perhiasan...such a simple word for expensive items) for Mawi dan Rosyam before the photo shoot which we hope to hold by next week.

Rupanya, as esxpected, sib baik I called for a seperate meet nak pilih dulu barang barang seperti cincin, brooches dan sebagainya, because nak jaga sensitiviti peminat.

Yerlah...nak gold in whatever form takleh. So kena redah carik men's collection dia yang ikat suasa and so on. Also, we had to find items appropriate untuk design baju Mawi dan Rosyam.

In between this and that, Jac kept calling nak pastikan each piece tuh kena ke tak.

Aiyo...cantik nya barang kemas...and I don't mean the staff ok...I mean the actual jewellery (lame...but not too truthful joke).

We got this gorgeous pair of earrings, which I thought befitted Jac very well.

Actually sebelum nih pun aku ada recommend this pair of earrings to one or two artistes, but not many people could carry it. Kena leher jinjang sikit, and you have to have the right dress with the right amount of neck and immediate chest area to hold the attention grabbing piece.

Torn between that and several pieces, akhirnya, after much trauma of running back and forth between two different sessions, settled on this set in the picture yang total almost a quarter of a million Ringgit.

Mak aih...about the amount Mawi di bayar untuk Aduh Saliha the movie.

Oops!

Quite an elegant set we put together comprising of a pair of dangly earrings, two smaller rose bud fashioned ones, a bracelet and two rings.

I can't remember if we threw in the necklace in the end, sebab kami tanak sarat sangat ngan batu sampai she drowns in the jewellery, but I remember the end choice was tasteful.

Zura pun planning ngan dia bab kasut, sebab kasut yang disediakan setinggi 3 inci tak cukup tinggi tuk Jac. Hah...yes, she wants four inch heels. Aiyak....tak terpelanting ker...tuh perlukan skill.

I suppose divas and divas in the making always need their heels and height.

As soon as we settle ont he pieces we wanted, and then calculated, Su dari Berita Harian pun start ler photography session. Korang nak tengok lebih usha ler Berita Harian for the article, written by member aku, Farihad Shalla Mahmud.

Nama penuh agik mention credit ok, Bobo. Suka tak?

But that wasn't the end of it.

We spent dalam setengah jam lagi mencari accessories for the two most famous men int he entertainment industry in Mawi dan Rosyam. Rupanya, kata wakil Habib, banyak pieces meka di bawa tuk roadshow Habib, so kureng ler yang ada kat showroom.

Aduh...camna nih. In the end we dealt with it best we could by picking the best we could find based on Wanie dan Nizam punya design.

Yang selebihnya, kami discuss ngan pihak Habib minggu depan another round, sekali ketika photography ngan Mawi dan Rosyam sekali trying out the look.

Finished that, we all zoomed to have a late lunch/early dinner. By the time we were done, we zoomed back to Shah Alam sebab memasing ada hal.

I had to settle some personal affairs, before rushing back to KL. I didn't join the meeting with Vernon and crew sebab I really didn't have the time plus the more important details like actually coming up with the idea and main planning I had outlines earlier in a previous meeting, so takyah ler aku nak go through it again.

No biggie...so went back to the office for another round of work. Submitted four articles and smiled throughout.

Yes, my time management is getting better. More productive even though a little tired ler. By the time I had finished, janji ngan Juan nak gi supper kat Hartamas Square.

Joined Rizman and the group for a bite there. They moved on later while we stuck around sebab ramai gak kawan kawan lepak sana. Sambil melantak pizza, satu tangan update blog ni sebab sana ada wifi.

Hah...time management indeed!

A few people stopped by to kiss their helloes...Nabila dan kengkawan dia, Iqram pun popped by.

We shifted to Bestari pastuh sebab nak lepak lama agik, and were joined by Kechik dan girlfriend dia.

I felt hyper...possibly sebab banyak keja da abih, lega...and prepared tuk esok da...so rasa nak lepak lewat. Lagikpun, lama da tak lepak lambat camnih.

Moved about 3am...not too late...tapi takkan nak tunggu subuh baru balik.

Got some more work done for tomorrow...and continued with this posting and updating the pictures.

Speaking of which...bawah ni beberapa pics from Anugerah Juara Lagu aku janjikan. Enjoy...I think it's fair enough the first pic, I pay tribute to Hazami's excellent back-ups in his choir yang put on such an excellent performance

The stars of Anugerah Juara Lagu 21 for me! Awesome!!!

Congratulations Safri and Co. You guys rocked!!!!

Love your concept...love the whole thing about your conceptualisation!

Walaupun pandang pertama aku cam Amuk lak ada back-up choir sendiri...but again...YOU GUYS ROCKED!!! (Safri...belanja aku pasnih tau kat kak Ara!)

And then of course, dare we forget pemenang Persembahan Vokal terbaik yang juga tumpang kejayaan lagu Terlalu Istimewa which she wrote the words to, pas menang bukan je kategori Balada, tapi juga title Juara Lagu?

Kak Deebs...told you kan? That one day has come...

So bila nak belanja?

Moving on....the actual singer who was behind the fantastic performance and was a serious contender for Best Vocal Performance, Hazami himself yang memang meletup, meledak!!! Am so proud of you Mi...you did well...and I'll continue cheering you on!

This is where it starts getting ugly....NOT!!!

One of my favourite performances of the night for the sheer impromptu horror, and yet amusement of M. Nasir and Mawi pakai wig, aku give two thumbs up! Three thumbs up kalau aku Hrithik Roshan!!!

Memang kelakar abih...but not in a degrading manner to the performance.

Walaupun aku admit vocally ada ler out sana sini, lari tempo dan pitching, serta kesemputan light light, but all in all, it was the most spontaneously entertaining show I've seen in a long time.

Kudos to Mawi and abang Nasir sebab korang rock the house. There is no right or wrong in rock (though I still draw the line if you sound like Neves).
Tahniah gak kat kak Marlia Musa for idea last minute gila babas dia nak pakaikan laki dia dan Mawi rambut palsu.

Kak Marlia...ko memang WORLD!!!

Tapi selain this weird take of wigs, aku nak bagik style icon award kat beberapa orang gak for daring to be different.

Of course kalau korang pasang radio pagik tadik korang mesti dengar orang carut Dayang sebab baju dia yang terlampau seksi time dia selak sana selak sini.

I lurve it!!! Of course it came out a little wrong...and any woman knows you don't wave your thingamajig like that...but all in all she looked fantastic and that's what counts. Very Beyonce, Dayang.

Tapi kain tuh...erm...lain kali jangan pakai ler yang nampak murah sangat. Cut da cantik da tuh...but what is it...satin? It looks a little cheap...or maybe it's the lack of detailing and embellishments.

Tapi walauapapun orang nak cakap...aku suka!!!!
Memang meletup. Takyah susah susah tema fusion yang tak jadik tuh sebab ramai artis trie too hard. Despite the simplicity of the outfit, Dayang stood out for the right reasons.

Ella punya baju was a little confusing. Aku kind of like it dari jauh masa kat stadium...and ramai yang tengok kat TV pun puji.

Tapi pelik gak baju dia nih..cam balut kain kapan pun ada...erm...or does she look like she's wearing a tank top and then a bedsheet. Apapun, Ella ni pun style icon, sebab only she can ear something like this and get away with it. Kind of like Amy Search, who I still maintain is Malaysia's only real metrosexual! Pakai apa pun lawa jer...some people have it and some poeple just don't...and Ella is one of those who does have it, like Dayang.

Oh by the way...dia kaki ayam pun bukan kali pertama ok. So Elyana takyah berangan yer (we'll get to that in a little while)

But the true iconic style award I want to dish out, goes to none other than,Ning Baizura!

So very the grandiose gituh pakai baju Dominique Chen. Again...screw the theme. Ning just looked FABULOUS! No other words to describe it!!!Undoubtedly, she is Malaysia's very own Madonna with her constant reinvention.

Ok...so a lot of artistes try and reinvent themselves too...but rarely it works out like it does for Ning, and I am proud to be associated with Ning for all it's worth.

I've watched Ning grow...and believe you me, she deserves everyounce of praise that comes her way for the sheer effort she puts into everything.

Yerlah...dalam nak puji tuh...kena lah puji orang nih gak.. how else could I have decided to work alongside with him for several things now kalao bukan kerana excellent sense of fashion dia dalam memilih aku tuk realise some of his chosen looks for his stable of artistes.

By the way... a little off the track sikit...

Bon voyage to Ning and also Vern yang akan depart tomorrow night for...erm...korang usha jer blog INI untuk tau perkembangan lanjut.

Takkan aku nak cita lebih lebih pasal artis dia lak kan....tapi memang untuk an event di mana Ning bakal mengharumkan nama negara!

And last but not least...I've saved the horror for the last.

Actually ikutkan hati aku, takde pic dia akan muncul kat blog aku nih, tapi demi carutan maha tsunami...memang sesuai ler kan nak end this posting on a high note...by dissing her.

Yes.

Korang tak takut ek...kang aku hantar si tapak sulaiman ni ke rumah korang baru korang tau.

Looking like a Chinese horror movie bride who killed herself on her wedding night, what the hell is Elyana thinking of when she wore this cheap-ass rip-off of Hatta Dolmat (ala ala tiru konsep baju yang Ning, Nikki dan Yanie ketika Anugerah ERA masa wat Drama ler tuh)

And I seriously think she was the biggest waste of time during the Anugerah Juara Lagu.

And apparently, I wasn't the only one who thought so as many didn't bother with her masa dia perform gak.

In fact, kalau sapa ada kat stadium tuh, perasan ler tepukan camna dia dapat by the end of it.

Apapun, harapnya, tahun depan dan akan akan datang, kami takyah ler perlu nak berdepan ngan sora dia yang ala kadar, panggil customer beli nasi lemak tuh, sambil dia tergolek ker melutut ker haper kat pentas cam orang tak betui, pakai dress ntah hasil campuran kain buruk yang di jahit together ek.

No more...say no more..please ler. Songwriters and lyricists...give your songs to a more deserving and better person to sing it... jangan ler waste your talents on that squeaky hee-hawing.

Yes...I think Elyana layak is still still the biggest travesty in the history of Anugerah Juara Lagu.
Kesian lak Aidit Alfian dan Ad Samad. Hasil meka yang kira boleh tahan, sebenarnya menjadi mangsa pompuan yang ala ala ting tong onstage nih, feeling trendy stylo.
GROW UP!!!!!!

And for those of you yang agree...you deserve her. And for those of you yang nak carut aku balik...jaga jaga...kang aku hantar dia nyanyi kat rumah korang.

Live agik ok...(gelak jahat!!!)

Okler...sekian posting entry. Nak tidur la...meroyan da. The evil has spread. Don't stare at the picture of Elyana too long. Or in seven days blah blah blah....(nampak sangat tak cukup tidur)
