It started two weeks ago. But it was worth waiting to watch four hours straight worth of the season three of Heroes!
Had downloaded the premiere party, and also the back to back episodes of the season opener, but kept waiting to watch it one shot for a marathon session of Heroes.
All I can say is, I'm done with the first, am on to the second and third now, and the only thing I can say is... OH MY GOD!!!!
Volume three dubbed Villains... is nothing short of amazing! And I think it'll pick up momentum from where season two lowered down the level a notch.
Won't say anything more! But people die!!! And people come back to life!!! And lots of new characters - including hot bad guys!
The last few days lupa lak nak catch up on my dose of my favourite reality shows, namely the eleventh cycle of America's Next Top Model and the fifth season of Project Runway.
First of all, am super pissed Isis is out of contention. Being the controversial contestant this year, she is of course, a pre-op transgender. In other words, people. That's one helluva good looking boy there soon to be a woman. Despite not having the assets of the other contestants, she rocked her photo shoots, no matter what the judges say. I think they just backing out of the choice of selecting her and afraid of what middle America will say.
Stupid! You suck big time Tyra! There were quite a few others who didn't even deserve to be there. Well at least Alaskan trailer park trash Hannah got kicked out for not being able to walk before even the photoshoot. Yeay for that!
First challenge
Second
Third
Fourth and final
Even Miss J is horrified she's out... or maybe she's contemplating lip surgery
So there goes the rumours that Isis made the top five. I have a few more favourites left like Mckey and especially Elina, the self-professed lesbian. Hope they make it to the top cause can't stand the top including the likes of Clarke. Eww!
Then caught up with Project Runway. Suede, the weirdo who likes to refer to himself in the third person is finally out. Hurrah for that. Tapi can't stand it that Kenley is still in. That's one helluva an overrated b****h!
Hence, I hope she gets kicked out this week, so that Korto, Jerell and Leann make it to Bryant Park. Since Joe Faris got cut, I don't think there have been many designers in this season that would make the grade. Possibly the weakest season ever.
Argh!!! Me stuck on reality shows. Gila lah. Nak layan lagi the Australian version. By the way, if you Youtube, check out the first season of Project Runway Australia. Just finished watching the first season. There's a guy in it, who was Malaysian and moved to Australia who finished fourth!
See?! We have the talents! Just all of them need to move away to prove themselves.
Yeap, that's what I became today. A damn tourist guide. The day started early for me sebab gi jemput kakak aku yang balik dari Jakarta hari Jumaat lepas. Dia dok rumah member dia kat Ampang, so gi pick up dia dulu nak hantar balik umah for lunch.
Pas abih melantak lepak nan kedua orang tua aku, hantar dia balik sana. Masa tu ingat nak lepak.
Tapi sebab satu satu geng aku semua da balik kampung, rasa sunyi sepi lak Kuala Lumpur ni, walaupun di banjiri manusia!
Lepas call beberapa orang, decided aku buka kat rumah je la. Besides, since I didn't have plans, I thought I'd just spend the Sunday at home. Da sampai tengah tengah KL tuh, tiba tiba dapat panggilan from Leo. Rupanya my best friend ni da sampai KL from Jakarta! Yeay!
Dengan letih banget tak cukup tido, aku pun meet up ngan dia, sorang lagik kawan dari Jakarta and another friend of theirs in KL nih.
Makan dan melantak kemudian, member meka nak gerak balik. So aku pon terus bertugas ler jadik tour guide. Mana ek nak bawa meka ni? Aku nih banyak tempat tau, tapi kan sebab KL ni kita da biasa sangat, tatau lak nak bawak ke mana. | Through the eyes of a tourist lain kot. Pada mata kita, KL nih kekadang cam membosankan da sebab da too used to it.
So destinasi pertama - Dataran Merdeka. Cita la serba serbi history, termasuk sejarah tak perlu pada meka, sambil meka bergambar sakan. Leo da kali kedua jalan jalan ke sana, first time ngan aku gak. Tapi for Danny, ni kali pertama dia so I guess it was kinda nice for him.
Tourists....
Discussing the photgraphic merits of the shot they took. Aiyo! Perlu ke!
Puas ler memasing cam whore sana. Seronok lak aku tengok gelagat meka ni. Yerla.. dedua kaki photography. So angle bersungguh ni dicari.
Dari sana, gerak la a few other places. Pusing ke area Chow Kit dan Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman yang tengah meriah tunjuk meka the unconventional sights of KL's red light district, pusing tunjuk meka Istana Budaya, before realising Eye of Malaysia tuh da takde.
Since they had just come from Singapore dan sana pon da pasang benda alah tuh, meka nak tengok the KL nya, but sayang terlewat.
So pusing sana sini, ke area Batu Caves lak jelajah. The temple memang tutup, tapi sempat ler meka puas hati amik pics gak kat sana.
Sebab meka da actually whole day jalan, even before meka jumpa aku, hantar ler meka balik sebab kesian sangat pas kami gerak ke Pavilion pastuh lepak jap, moka memasing da nak koma. So sent them back to the hotel, and redah jalan ke Pelita for sahur.
Geng Pelita yang tinggal berapa ramai je. Jue ada skali, and we were joined by Ayooi, Along dan dua orang lagik kawan. Tak ramai. Majority da balik kampung. Kami yang tinggal tinggal ni je yang akan dok KL sepanjang the Raya festivities. Rasain kebosanan.
Aku lepak dalam sejam lebih mata da berat. Walaupun letih, sempat lagik cam whore. Dulu aku ni peminat bola, sang tak sangat. Time tu la, aku sokong kalao international club, Manchester United (skang nyampah lak), and kalao local, mana lagik kalao bukan negeri sendiri, Selangor Darul Ehsan. Anyway time aku abih skolah masa kat kolej la gila bola. Sometime 1993 gituh (matilah tua gila aku rasa)
Tu la first match aku tengok kat stadium pun semifinal Piala Malaysia I think, Selangor lawan Singapore, the last year the republic main dalam our league and all.
By the 1995, aku ni kira hardcore la. Semua match home and away mesti gi, kecuali yang Sabah, Sarawak dan Brunei yang tak mampu masa study, as well as Kelantan sebab kami tidak digalakkan pergi. Ganas seh!
Masa tuh favourite player banyak, and semua jadik member. But one player yang masuk the team in 1996 was my favourites bebetul la back then. Asmawi Bakiri namanya.
Heh... pas da ilang minat kat bola pas Selangor da julang Piala Malaysia tiga kali berturut-turut, aku tak keep in touch ngan bebudak bola ni. Last jumpa abang Azman Adnan pun masa Sehati Berdansa.
Anyway, ada sorang ni leh kira geng Pelita gak. Da berapa kali serempak sana, memang borak kalau da dok sekali. Abang Asmawi. Heh! Cam masih fan je aku nih kan. Anyway tengok dia, rasa cam nak gelak je sebab masa tu masuk team still fresh young thing gituh. Skang da 2008. Da 12 tahun berlalu. Aiyo... someone could have had a 12 year-old kid in that time. Damn! I feel old! Ni sempat cam whoring ngan abang Awie sat. Football trivia - Asmawi has also played for Sabah and Perak lepas Selangor. He then moved on to MPPJ and then Shazam Muda. Skang full time businessman gituh.
Awie isonly two years elder than me, but I think I look way younger. Tetap kan nak feeling awet muda. Heh...
Oh man.. dunno nak buat apa esok lusa. Seriously kengkawan semua da balik kampung. Aku nak ke mana lak malas nak jauh. Aduh... esok esok je la wat plan. Malas pikir.
Malas nak posting panjang ari nih. Ni kena cukupkan tido sebab esok nak jemput kakak aku dari Ampang dari rumah member dia sebab dia balik dari Jakarta seminggu tuk cuti Raya.
Ni pun balik da kol brapa. Sambungan celebration birthday Faz smalam. Hari ni gi karaoke, a group of a total of ten of us kat Red Box kat The Curve. Bespren Faz, Cheryl pun ada.
Melalak la sorang sorang dari kol 11 hingga 3 pagik. Well, actually not all of us. Paham paham je la kalao ramai ramai gi karaoke, ada je yang diam, dan ada lak spesis mic hogger. But it was all in good fun, dan yang pentingnya, Faz and Cheryl leh nyanyi ok!
Merasalah nak wat kumpulan Ratu Malaysia pun leh sebab memang besh layan meka dua nyanyi.
Ni some pics. Don't feel like a long entry today.
The crown for the birthday girl
Best friends - dedua pandai nyanyi
One candle je?
Terkejut? Terharu? Ke lakonan hebat? Heh! Matilah aku kena carut kang!
Like the title of my posting, obviously this entry is dedicated to wishing the one and only Faz, a very happy 25th birthday!
Yeay! You made it another year, girl!
Tepat at the stroke of midnight actually lah.
Where were we? Moi, Juan and Syarol were on the way to meet her at Rasta, rumah kedua pas Pelita. Saja je kengkawan nak celebrate. Joined by Famee, Dayang and friend, we had makan makan biasa jer sambil borak.
No fancy clubs, berangan glamour events or such to celebrate birthday. No need also for piety infused to try and get people to wish you too. Just good quality time spent with real friends, minus the drama.
Happy 25th Faz!
Ok first of all, don't mind the blinding flash, or the not so well coordinated skills of the photographer (carut diri sendiri sat) or the fact she may appear tired.
This pic was taken at the end of our lepak session so it was pretty late. Plus, I didn't have my camera on me, so just used my phone to snap a pic.
Rasta pun gelap, so it did nothing for the photos lor.
Feeling macho punya pose
Passed her a small present from me, but something worth a lot personally. We had fun, and later adjourned for a quick session kat Pelita.
Anyway, tomorrow nak go out and get a cake perhaps sebab ada gathering kengkawan to celebrate her birthday, and on top of that nak give her a proper present, so don't know if I can figure out in time what's suitable. What do you get a woman, who can afford what you can and more. Heh... she already has a fashion sense, so can't give her that too.
But kalao ikut hati aku kan, aku nak cari birthday cake camnih leh tak?
Don't step on your food!
So maybe, prettier heels la, but something along the lines of the cake above. Mesti dia suka punya!
Pastu the perfect present would be something like this.
The safest heels created - a pair with no heels!
The 5 and a half inch heels by Antonio Berardi are the weirdest heels ever, simply because... they have no heels! It went on sale for £1,800 (Rm11,367) about five or six months ago in London. Unique... the weight of the person wearing it will go on the platform front of the soles.
At least I know Faz won't hurt anyone with these heels. Heh...!!! Matilah carut! Love you, girl! And happy birthday again! Hugs!
Semalam for the I think only third time bulan puasa ni, I actually attended a function. Malas gila sebenarnya walaopon berlambak invitation. I don't know why, tapi puasa kali nih, biar aku bosan ngadap the four walls at home, tapi cam malas, takde feel nak buka kat luar, unlike previous years.
Tadik was the Metrowealth buka event for friends in the media. Seronok gak, walaupun seperti biasa, da cam adat, I got caught in the traffic and ended up reaching just a little while pas berbuka.
Akibatnya berbuka ngan asap dalam keta jerk.
But sampai it was a nice sweet gathering kat David Teo nya Lemon Restaurant kat Mines. Aku tak makan pon... minom je. Seronok sebab jumpa kak Fati. Banyak sangat nak catch up gossip sebenarnya.
Also with Nani la, who looked amazing with her new look. And a new accessory! No pics of that here! Just something I really like! Heh! Merasalah kak Fati marah aku influence katanya.
Like mother...
Like daughter...
Spent so much time gossiping, that tak perasan time just sped past. Didn't get time to catch up with Irma, selain jerit, "HEY! GENG PELITA!" Matilah katanya promosi Pelita Bangsar for free. Again and again.
Some of the cast of the upcoming releases by Metrowealth pun ada, tapi amik random pics kat bawah ni je. Apapon, thanks to the Metrowealth guys for inviting us to the event.
Farid Kamil dan David Teo
With part of the Metrowealth family gituh
Pas abih, sped to Bangsar. Mana lagik kalao bukan ke Pelita... as usual.
Janji ngan Bionic Woman si Jue je, but midway, dia pick up Juan sekali. Then Sarol popped by, to enjoy the Pelita experience! Yeay! Thanks so much for joining us smalam dude!
He claims to be a fan of my writing, tapi aku pun as much a fan of him if not more. Hah! Ada sesiapa nak single eligible bachelor ni, dia ni up for grabs tau. Just leave your comment kat bawah kalao nak berkenalan (ampun Sarol!!!)
Jue, the Bionic Woman along with Sarol
Nothing much to tell. Just the usual gabbing and gossip and such. Slow night malam ni. Faz joined up (I think Sarol became an instant numero uno fan) and then Jijie 6ixth Sense, swung by with his parents for dinner, which he later sent back before joining us again. Ayooi pun join, but the rest of the band tak kelihatan. Alif and Ika as well as friends popped by too.
Found out pasal Jue punya incident dari salah satu mamat yang rushed to her aid, that bukan satu motor je yang ada time dia kena ragut tuh. Apparently that one motorcycle with two guys tuh, yang attempt to rob her, was part of a whole juggernaut of maybe eight or nine bikes!
Merasalah kalao Jue tau, mesti da ilang semangat Bionic Woman!
Me going for some sleep now. Seriously deprived of it. Be posting more...
Today takde pe sangat nak posting. Saja nak tunjuk t-shirt dalam koleksi. Baru dapat one more yang memang taste aku sangat ler. Lain lak baju pun leh taste. Anyway, aku teruja ngan t-shirt, especially yang pelik-pelik ke or one that comes with statement.
Ni buah tangan orang baru balik Australia! Me likey! It's so me!
Thanks Faz for remembering my taste in t shirts!
Aku suka gila! Tapi arituh masa pas kes Faz tuh gi court and then singgah rumah Bob. Tima sana pick up baju ni. Bob dulu beli masa ngan aku. Cost a bomb, tapi dia tak berani pakai! It's a Tough nya t shirt. Sebenarnya, aku suka gila, but dia rasa pelik so refuse to wear.
Heh! Sebab arituh aku da passing a real funky jacket dia pakai yang ramai puji gila babas, aku pun trade ngan dia, my jacket for this t-shirt. Worth it deal for both of us.
I like it because of the torn anti-fashion look which was big associated with the 70s punk scene.
Not very suitable kalao some occasions, but me likey anyway. Walaupun nampak cam orang gila pun ada ngan koyak koyak. Cuma tak minat kaler dia sikit sebab reminds me of Freddie Kruger punya sweater merah ijo.
Nothing much today. Spent time with friends. Heh.. adalah aktiviti, tapi tak leh kongsi cita. Skang malas nak cita personal skang. Tapi erm.. kelakar la gak.
Anyway, esok ada buka puasa dua event. Satu kementerian nya buka posa (matilah bosan) satu lagi tak silap aku Metrowealth. Malas sebenarnya. Mungkin buka kat rumah je.
See how.
Be posting soon. Malam ni plan nak beli barang tuk Raya sikit. Mungkin Raya ni balik rumah kuarga angkat. Tatau lagik, tapi lebih kurang nak gak persiapan sikit. Beriya je kan aku nak sambut Raya... heh! Semangat!
Amik ko semalam Pelita, Bangsar packed gila! Semakin dekat ujung puasa nih, semakin ramai lak bersahur kat luar.
Kita pun tak beza sangat. Semalam gathering kami yang terbesar so far kat Pelita. Tapi sebenarnya tak sengaja. Aku janji da ngan Faz nak jumpa sana. Expected sana si Juan and Amir as well yang da ajak sekali. Jue too.
Tapi last last, ni ramainya yang punch card kat ofis kami smalam. Amik ko! Enam meja panjang ok! Tu semua yang full time Pelita lepakers gituh.
Cerita nya.. aku sampai je, si Juan dan Amir, da jemput Bob join sekali. Masa tuh geng 6ixth Sense, semua ada. Si Adi, Atan, Jiji, Atan dan Wan da berkumpul sekali. Jue pun sekali. Aku lak ngan Faz sampai serentak. Then we were joined by Ted.
Then lepak punya lepak, we were joined by Ika, Mel, Yana dan Nurul.
Ramai lak ari nih! Sampai enam meja. Tu pun secara tak sengaja. Seriously, Pelita for us is becoming Cheers, sitcom 80an dulu, where everybody knows your name gituh. But kalao you weren't big on TV in the 80s, then Pelita would be our equivalent of Central Perk in Friends. Tiap kali pergi je mesti ada kawan kawan melepak. Jarang kalao gi sorang akan dok sorang.
Kami ni memang hantu Pelita, bulan puasa or not. The proof? Amik ko, tengok resit tuh tulis apa. Bebudak waiter sini biasa da sangat ngan kita. Treatment memang tip top! Cuma memang la skang sayang si Andri dari Medan da transfer branch lain. Tapi bebudak lain keja sana, most of them we all know by name da and treat us so well, until sampai tahap, kalao Pelita Bangsar takde, tatau lak nak lepak mana da.
Malas nak amik pic, tapi seronok ramai ramai, pot pet kecoh tuh, amik la a few. Ada yang feeling tanak kena snappy ngan aku kena masuk blog. Especially my best friend Ted yang akan balik ke Sabah Thursday tuk balik kampung for Raya. Merasalah kononnya camera shy!
Sebut pemalu nih, ni ada yang malu malu taik kucing gituh. Pas my last blog entry yang ada pic meka mesra gituh, ni pic malu malu Ika dan Adi lak dedua wat innocent je. Iyolah tuh. Konon memasing pandang arah lain time cam aku dah fired on. Tak baik taw cover line! Matilah pas ni gosip keluar.
Ni lak si Wan, yang feeling main game jer time semua orang layan borak. Wan... Wan.. tak elok tau main game time orang makan dan mengumpat ni. Heh.. pepandai lak aku.
Anyway, ada story sikit masa kita sampai.
Si Jue, yang personal assistant si Faz, baru sampai Pelita time more or less everyone was arriving. Jue ni kira kategori 'woman under contruction'. Don't you dare call her a nyah. She's a a lady in development ok!
Anyway, si Jue ni, time nak keluar kereta, was on the phone. Pintu kereta dia terbuka. Tiba tiba ada orang tarik beg tangan dia! Memula dia ingat kawan-kawan saja nak wat kejutan, main-main.
Then she turned to look, and there was some stupid rempit running with her bag! Tanpa pikir, si Jue nih, keluar keta dan kejar. Dengan hanya beberapa langkah, Jue caught up with peragut ni, yang da lompat membonceng atas motor member dia yang menunggu.
Jue tetiba, berbekalkan kuasa pil-pil hormon ala cocktail, managed to catch up, then lompat ala Bionic Woman, berjaya tangkap the pillion rider yang snatch bag dia. She managed to drag him off the bike, dan kedua meka - si Jue dan peragut tuh, jatuh terpelanting kat jalan.
Yang tukang bak motor tuh pusing dan maki Jue, "Ko kenapa???!!!" Cam sial kan! Nak rompak satu hal... pastu nak marah orang katanya sebab merompak! Keji! Jue pun maki balik nak curi beg orang takde duit ke. Sementara tuh, mamat yang jatuh tu, yang masih berpeluk beg Jue, managed to get back on his feet and naik balik motorcycle.
Si Jue turned Bionic Woman again. Kali ni dia terkam, tangkap kedua pala bebudak tuh dan hantuk sekali. She then dragged off the pillion rider yang masih holding on to her handbag. Kali ni Jue seret dia berapa kaki sampai dekat keta dia. Time tu, kata Jue dan bersepah barang-barang dia cam handphone dua bijik atas jalan. Merasalah, rasa cam testimony kes Fazura je time dia bergelut! Heh!
Anyway, masa tu memang ada small crowd da gathered area simpang Jalan Telawi 2 tuh, dekat Telawi Street Bistro. Tapi takde orang tolong. Ala ala cam show free katanya. Mesti ada yang konsep tengok sabung ayam, ada yang betting, "I bet on that girl to beat up those two sorry asses!" But thankfully, bebudak area McDonalds tu, armed ngan kayu and all, ran up tuk tolong Jue.
Mungkin sebab nampak ada reinforcements coming, budak yang kena heret ke keta tuh ngan muka kena sagat ngan Jue kat jalan tar, pandang Jue, campak beg Jue dekat dia, and kata, "Nah... amik lah beg ko!" sebelom lari naik motor dan cabut!
Matilah tergelak aku dengar cita Jue! Tu la korang! Dah la rempit bodoh! Nak rompak, nak target pompuan je kan! Ni dapat pompuan yang da maksimum hormon kalahkan kes steroid ahli sukan nak main-main ragut ngan dia! Ni pun lom dia PMS tau korang da kena camtuh!
Anyway, all of us had a good laugh. Jue escaped with a few scratches, a crack on the screen on her handphone and that's it.
Tengok betapa prihatin gituh si Faz. Siap tampalkan plaster kami gi carik tuk nak cover up the cuts and scraped Jue had on her hand and legs akibat bergelut ngan peragut peragut tuh.
Sorang bahaya kalao ada kasut tumit tinggi, PA lak bahaya kalao bab beg tangan! Men... and woman too. You have been warned! Tapi salute Jue gituh. Sesiapa yang penah kena ragut mesti paham trauma kena kan? Well, Jue got a point for all those who have been victims of snatch theft before.
Akhirnya tengok la tangan Jue yang bertampal plaster! Bukan nak tayang cincin ye...
So lesson for today is, jangan pikir pompuan aje, ko nak pandai ragut ragut. Biar insan lembut skali pun jangan ingat skali leh senang senang jadik mangsa. Tu baru Jue. Lom agik sorang agik member aku yang bernama Dayang - another woman in construction from Kelantan gak cam Jue.
Gelak kami keluar cita Dayang, yang nampak je cam pompuan ayu, tapi sebenarnya juara tomoi pernah nak kena rompak ngan jantan mana entah. Last last jantan tu lari bila Dayang nak bukak step, sambil mengejar ngan parang!
Girl power! Well... erm... sort of!
Don't mess with a lady and her handbag!
Anyway, da borak, ngumpat dan gelak, aku dan Adi ke McDonald at the end of the row nak beli burger lak. Merasalah kempunan nak makan burger. Suka sangat tengok sign ni. At least nampak ler McDonalds ni make an effort with a proper sign nak warn against those yang malas puasa.
Last call, nampak lak Burn and gang. yang a table away tengah lepak. Eh, by the way, korang tau, Si Burn ni leh post a pic of me dia amik masa kita berserempak kat Astro time gi Glamer Raya Aznil ari tuh. Gatal bijik tol. Dia letak dalam blog dia kat xfresh nya page. CLICK HERE nak tengok posting dia. Ngada tol!
Yang sebelah Burn tu, muka dia korang cam bebetul ek. Nama dia Mahesh. Dia star baru filem Yasmin Ahmad yang bertajuk Talentime yang baru abih shooting. Click kak Min's name to go to her blog where you'll see more pics of Mahesh there, along with production still. He will be starring alongside Pamela Chong, adik Vince dan Vanessa yang masuk The Amazing Race Asia 2, jadik runner-up. Si Mahesh ni watak dia lak sebagai adik kepada watak Jaclyn Victor who makes her film debut.
Yang awek tuh Ainul. Her movie Histeria directed by James Lee is coming out soon too.
Eh.. panjangnya posting nih!!!!
Ok, I leave you guys this time with a special song, which is a message to all of the rempits and the men out there yang ingat 'insan lembut' nih leh take advantage. Lagu ni tajuknya Jangan Ganggu Banci - dari Project Pop. Banci in Indonesian means mak nyah ler.
Watch the video! Loved this song for the longest time. Project Pop are the best! Check out their songs, bertajuk Ade and Dangdut Is The Music Of My Country among others. Meka ni cam Senario la kat sini - except they're funnier and actually talented, apart from actually being able to sing. First time dengar lagu meka time aku ke Jakarta dulu. The queen in the video is Aming, who's a star in Indonesia, with the Ekstravaganza program over Trans TV. Such a riot!
Ok... enjoy the video! Selamat berpuasa... berapa hari je beraya deh!
And Jue - ko memang superwoman! And women should be proud of you for having you among them to show them, that they need not be victims! And people, ingat... just cause someone is different, doesn't make them inferior to you.
What can I say! You guys probably heard the news already kan? Obviously lah kan sebab da tengah malam baru aku nak update, so mesti da nampak kat berita kat TV ker updated in all online news sites.
After nearly four years since it happened, my dear friend, yes you sister!!!!... Fazura was freed from the insane charge of whacking someone (so unimportant) with her heels (always stylo - sampai choice of weapon pon kena class).
Aku pun tarik nafas lega sebenarnya sebab aku harapkan ni akan be a new start to her career.
Aku sejak sahur pagik tadik, tak tido. Tapi terlelap dekat dua jam gak, until almost 9am. Bersiap semua, and took my sweet time to head to the court. Actually aku nak avoid being in court. Apapon keputusan, masa tu dalam pala aku, aku rasa firstly aku takleh contain emosi aku kang, and secondly, the media frenzy was something I wanted to avoid too. That and also budak mahkamah bodoh rambut fringe tuh yang kecoh dan poyo yang aku penah sebut dalam posting sebelum ni.
Aku sampai mahkamah ngam ngam nampak sekumpulan orang kat parking, with Faz smack in the centre. Apa lagik... drama la. Dari wajah dia pun aku da tau keputusan time tu.
Selamba tinggalkan keta, gi kat dia. She hugged me and said, "I won!!!"
Ya ampun. Syukur!!! It's over! Finally, the stupid case is over.
Sangkut kat parking almost 15 minutes gak because nak borak and all. Banyak sangat sembang hampir terlupa nak amik pic lak. Actually thought it was not the right time nak amik pics sebab nak celebrate. Ngan senyum kambing aku ajak, "let's celebrate over lunch!"
Merasalah aku kena carut kaw kaw punya kan... gurau jerk.
BFFs Faz and Cheryl
"Now don't let me use my shoe on you..." Matilah aku kena hempuk ngan heels pasni!
We didn't get to spend much time together cause Faz had to leave with her family to spend time with them. Dia pun baru semalam balik dari Australia. So no time to play catch up. Kang esok aku amik video kalao kita jadik berbuka skali. Kalao tak during sahur session at Pelita, as is my usual routine.
Gerak with Juan and friend then ke rumah Bob lepak skali. Layan ler TV. Tak cukup tido sebenarnya, tapi malas tido siang siang ni takot pening pala.
Sampai petang layan TV dan borak je lepak, until it was time to make a move.
Headed to Solaris kat Mont Kiara sebab da janji nak berbuka ngan Sarimah. Got there slightly early and took some pics to forget my growling stomach (I think masa tu semua orang leh dengar da perot aku mengaum gituh)
The venue for our catch-up buka puasa was at Ole-Ole Bali, a beautiful place yang quiet sangat. Makanan? Meletup!
Sempat amik pics with minutes to go to berbuka. Sori ler no pics of the food or anything more. Even Sarimah... sebab masa tu lupa everything, but the food. Heh... merasalah.
It was fun and we had I think a very long borak session. Ye la. Lama tak spend time ngan kak Mah. Nanti dia tak sibuk, aku update ler apa projek dia skang. Tapi God willing, we may have something coming up together. May ek... tak confirm apa apa lagi.
Sebab ada urusan kami ramai ramai gerak ke rumah kawan continue session. Sarimah had to leave then, and we hung out until almost 2am.
As usual, punch card kat Pelita kat Bangsar. Ngantuk sangat. I promise to update more on Faz ASAP. Siap video ek... aku usaha gila babas nya. But whatever it is, thanks to all of you for your prayers!
So after my very skeptical comments semalam, today ada yang positive sikit.
Heh! Matilah aku jadi kaki timbul gosip lak kang. Actually meka ni kawan la. Sebab kawan-kawan konsep geng Pelita gituh.
Bebudak 6ixth Sense memang geng kengkawan aku yang slalu lepak kat Pelita, Bangsar. Yerlah... disitu la ramai orang dalam business ni nak lepak tuk unwind. Chilling over a glass of teh tarik or whatever your cup of tea is... is so relaxing when no one's eyeballing you for who you are.
Ramai ler orang lepak sana, tak kisah ler geng pelakon ke penyanyi ke haper. So many names lepak sana kalao nak list on, letih. Pendek kata lebih senang sebut nama nama yang memang rasa tak class lepak mamak je. Matilah ko.
Anyway, semalam dipaksa oleh Ted dan Juan melepak sana walaupun memula plan nak sahur kat rumah je.
In the end, lepak plan nak bertiga, tapi si Juan lak lambat sampai. Tengah dok ngan Ted, si Wan, Jiji dan Adi sampai.
Joined by Juan later, we were also joined by Ika and three others for sahur.
Heh... aku tanak cakap apa apa, tapi I like seeing Adi and Ika together. Ada apa apa ke? Korang tanya sendiri la. Adi is of course vocalist for 6ixth Sense, and Ika of course dari musim keenam Akademi Fantasia.
Aku nih sebenarnya nak cari jodoh tuk Adi gak sebab kena gosip memacam ngan pompuan tuh nih, tapi sebenarnya dak ni baik gila. Ye lah. Muka elok sikit je mesti kena kaitkan memacam. Dah la dak ni jenis baik, religious gituh, walaupun rocker, tapi dia ni humble apart from being talented.
So are they/can they be an item? Dunno. Korang rasa?
Malu malu konon dua orang ni...
Makan tak control tuh!
PS - Yeay Faz is back from Australia! Esok kena gi mahkamah nak support dia. Kul 11am kat Jalan Duta. Doa la kes empat tahun ni will have a sensible decision for a NOT GUILTY verdict. After all - it only makes sense given the facts of the case. Also janji nak buka posa ngan Sarimah esok. So got to sleep....
Ok semalam went by really fast. Hung out, had a swim and so on just to ease myself. Seriously need to destress.
Also spent time talking to someone whom I met, who is in a relationship, and yet, looking for 'fun' outside. Seriously? Eeewwwww!!
Aiyo... malas la konsep open relationship ni. I mean honestly, I may not look it, but I'm an old fashioned romantic. Kalao aku nak commit to one person, aku kena be able to stick to that person 24-7-365! No side dishes for me, thank you!
Kalao tak it's sayonara, and on to sesiapa yang think I am actually boyfriend material. And trust me, not a lot of people who think that out there.
So anyway, orang ni nak get jiggy with it, while my best friend lak dating ngan pasangan dia. Camna tuh? The world da nak kiamat!!!!
You are so out of my life. I think I may go back to my former playa days where it's all Touch N Go with no emotional strings attached. But seriously I doubt I ever could cause when I look back on just 'having fun', it was indeed fun, but empty.
Maybe I should choose those yang cam aku mentioned above, and woo them, and teach them a lesson about loyalty.
Or maybe I can just shake my head, and walk off. Yes... perhaps that's best.
So kiddies sesiapa yang ramai peminat out there, ke even yang tak laku. When you find that someone you love, who loves you, don't go about thinking there may be something better out there. Jangan konsep nak pasang pasang poligami tau. Truth is, maybe I'm wrong. But while you can love two people or more at once, your body unlike your heart, shouldn't be spread out to be shared. In some instances, sharing is NOT caring.
Even with given consent. Madu ke tak, susah. It's hard enough to ever feel it's enough to be with one person, let along having to share that person with another.
Oh me oh my. There I go rambling on and on again. Such a habit da these days.
Anyway, went to a small do kat rumah Kos yang play host to AJK dari Stacy FC, serta beberapa peminat dari nun jauh yang mai melawat later in the night.
Tujuan aku nak meeting skali committee with Stacy and Cherry to solve some issues.
So memula meka photoshoot tuk webpage pas Stacy sampai dari recording. Then sesi bergambar dengan committee. Then sesi beramah mesra. All this done way past midnight, which is when this part of the entry was updated.
We managed to have our meeting only wat past 4am after everything was done.
Topik - Stacy.
A lot of issues dibincangkan bersama anggota AJK, Stacy and Cherry as well as me. Ni termasuk semua cerita yang orang pass about. Much of which involved my relationship with Stacy and her future, and those yang dengki.
Banyak lah topik... tapi semua takleh cita sangat sebab apa dibincangkan dalam bilik, STAYS THERE! Even for those yang rakam tu, jangan nak repeat play kat luar!
All I can say is, pada mereka yang takde keja tuh, pikir ler rezeki ko kecapi tuh halal ke haram ek. Nak untung dengan jatuhkan orang. And to Stacy, thank you for opening your heart, apart from your ears to what I had to say. Also everyone.
So now semua da selesai. Aku pernah rasa tawar hati sebenarnya nak terlibat lagi dengan kerjaya Stacy sebab orang yang sebenarnya tak penting pun, tapi kuat jarum. But semalam aku tersentuh (nak feel berkaca gak mata aku) bila Stacy kata dia menyesal segala yang telah berlaku. For me sorry tu is not important. Her career is, and aku tersentuh dia cakap dengan aku by the end of it, "I want us to be like before..."
"Siapa? Ko dan *toot* ke?"
Merasalah kena hempuk dan carut sekali!
"Us la..."
So to Stacy, just like I told you, from the start, ko dan Cherry macam adik beradik aku sendiri. We are family (uwaaa... cam Sister Sledge sangat!)... like a giant tree... reaching up to the sky!!! (matilah nyanyi dari soundtrack Dreamgirls lak)
Aww.. touchy feely! Group hug!
Do not bitch about my hair sebab that pic was taken at 5am just pas kami semua bersahur (thank you mummy Stacy FC for the wonderful spread!). Yes, pada mereka yang nak pisahkan, atau renggangkan kita, Cherry and Stacy are my sisters. And I am so touched they still love me enough to tell me that.
So this drama is finally over. Aku akan cuba apa aku mampu untuk bantu Stacy.... but maybe in a different capacity as before this.
Kesibukan pun bakal berlanda tak lama lagi, but I will still do my best.
To the Stacy FC family, be strong and keep pushing her. To Stacy herself, girl... keep praying and reminding yourself why you chose to be in this position and thank God for his blessings every day. Those scheming people will not get what they want, and with the grace of God, you will be rewarded for your hard work! Awas the return of Stacy di Anugerah Era!
I can now sleep in peace for the end of one drama.
And my hair? Kepada sesiapa yang tak nampak lagi, this is how it's been since hari tu masa aku menang Nintendo Wii for it. Uhm... the blonde bits out, so now it's a full reddish pinky mohawk. Freak! Take not, aku tak pakai wax ke haper, so takde bentuk sangat time ni. Ni amik sebelom tido...
Selamat bersahur, selamat berpuasa... and be posting soon.
Hari ni merupakan hari yang teramat pelik. I feel.. elated! Happy!
Why should that be weird...? Because I got a piece of news that was bad... but not for me. SMS dari kawan tu buat aku tersenyum. Bukan sebab aku busuk hati nak meraikan berita buruk, tapi aku rasa seolah pembalasan perlahan lahan pada mereka yang menganiaya aku kini bermula.
Malas nak cita lebih. Just so much I been hearing the past day or two, buat aku nih terpikir berkali-kali, nak ke aku duduk lagik dalam industri hiburan yang tak bayar setimpal ngan pengalaman dan expertise nih. Mana taknya, kat Malaysia nih, susah wo nak hidup dalam keadaan tersepit nih. Tambah lagik bila ada orang yang bodoh yang ko kena encounter. Simply makes it all.. not worth it.
So anyway, today second day aku dapat 'good news' of sorts. Smalam da la dapat berita positif. And again today...
Not jubilant about bad things happening to anyone. But like I said, aku berserah pada Nya untuk menentukan takdir, dan rezeki aku. Dan aku bersyukur setakat ini Tuhan telah memberikan aku kekuatan dan semangat baru untuk melawan anasir anasir yang kurang elok ini.
Melawan dengan kejayaan. Nothing else. Success is the best revenge. And the aim to achieve is my drive to push to the best I can be. With or without idiots telling me what to do. What happens to these people, biar Tuhan yang mengadili dan menghukumi. I am no one to judge or mete out punishments.
Syukur sangat things are getting back on track, dan aku kini da set target baru tuk masa depan aku selepas banyak berfikir. Oh trust me. By the dawn of 2009, you're going to see a lot of things happening. Thank you to friends and colleagues who are helping to make it happen after realising what's going on. God is indeed great.
Biar ada individu tertentu berhati hitam cuba sedaya upaya, aku tak tersungkur. Maybe a minor trip, but nothing that leaves any sort of injury or marks. Not even a scrape to the knee gituh.
And I can see that my motto of karma is a bitch, is indeed proving true.
Well, people. You reap what you sow.
And sometimes for certain people, a sow is also your mother! (matilah juvenile name calling)
So in good spirits, aku gi ke buka puasa Recording Industry of Malaysia. Ok, so aku tak tepati janji aku nak amik banyak pics. But really enjoyed catching up with industry friends, explaining all that has happened, and getting some offers to back me up. Syukur again.
Borak nya borak, ada Q&A with Norman in his capacity with RIM on the 90:10 issue. Bravo pada to the organisation. Walaupon meka officially tak 'menyokong atau membantah' tindakan tu, a lot of what Norman said, echoed my personal views that this move is BAD for the future of our music industry.
His statement aku paling suka?
"Kita kena berhentikan budaya bertongkat ni. Kalau muzik kita bagus, takyah kuota pun leh dapat 100% airplay!"
Salute to you Norman!
It's people like Norman who speak out, that make me believe that some things are still worth fighting for in the business. And fight, I will. I may have went into the corner to lick my wounds awhile, but now I'm raring to come out fighting again. The old me is back! With a vengeance! In everything I do! So beware if you cross my path.
Don't know what the plans are for the weekend but planning to meet Sarimah soon to discuss some 'things'. Also Faz is coming back soon! Yeay! Next week banyak la sebab ramai balik kampung, dan ramai lagik balik sini.
Tak sabar!
Ok, short and sweet entry over. Kesian pic Jac ni aku nak kongsi tak publish. Toodle doo for now kiddies! By the way, something funny happened, but honestly too sensitive to write... so leave it be in my memories and not my blog. Heh....
"Budak ni nak amik gambar lama lak... letih pose!" Luv ya Jac!
Finally dragged myself out of the house to berbuka today, though alone. Really feels good to have time and space on my own away from bothering about anyone. I don't know. It's just one of the days where I just feel I need some me time.
Semalam ada la jumpa kengkawan dan meka ada cita banyak benda aku tak tahu pasal some things which have been going on. All I can say is, you learn some thing every day.
It's amazing, how manipulative some people try to be because they think they can try and do things to further themselves. But the truth is, they are just poor carbon copies of what they see of others and aspire to be, but could never have that natural flair.
Yeap, the entertainment industry is just nasty. All I can say is, dalam industri penuh ilusi ni, pandailah bezakan intan dan kaca.
Still, again, not bothered to think about these people. Seriously. Kerana balasannya akan ada kelak kan. Cuma sapa la kita nak menentukan.
Biarlah orang orang ni dengan kepalsuan mereka, biarlah dengan hati hitam dan busuk mereka. Biarlah mereka bangga dengan segala penipuan yang mereka terpaksa menjalani demi nak menutup kelemahan dan kekurangan mereka yang seribu tu.
Sampai tahap menipu, menghina dan menggunakan cara halus untuk menjatuhkan orang.
One day, aku rasa aku akan menulis buku juga pasal orang camni. It's almost pathetically comic, how they try and gang up on people and yet, they deceive themselves to think people genuinely like them.
Pada mereka yang tatau industri ni dari dalam, lihatlah lebih dekat, dan perhatikan penipuan korang disajikan. Bidang ni penuh dengan ilusi. Sampai ada yang tatau beza halal dan haram. Sampai ada yang menghalalkan yang haram. Korang mesti confuse aku merapu apa kan? Tunggu satu nanti aku keluar sikit sikit cita. Biasalah... kenalah ala telenovela. Kang cita abih bosan lak...
Anyway, away from all that, aku hari ni happy. I promise you guys no more mentioning politics, at least for now. So hari ni takde reference pada the neverending political drama in our country. Tapi aku tanak janji ek I'll stay away from all that for too long. Cuma tunggu more developments je.
Tadik berbuka kat Astro. Aku singgah sebenarnya nak amik cek, discuss projek, as well as gosip ler. Hah... korang nak tau. Aku da dapat gosip Akademi Fantasia yang baru. Berkaitan musim terbaru. Tapi aku simpan saja lah buat sementara ek. When the time is right, aku kongsikan. Janji nya, tak perlu nak berangan, tapi aku still one step ahead bab dapat gosip tertentu. Heh...
Sambil kat Astro da, singgah layan rakaman program Aznil, Glamor Raya yang diadakan di Studio 2. Memula tuh aku ingat rakaman rancangan Raya ngan artis and all like biasa la.
But it didn't have a single artist. Aku suka! Format dia simple, tapi memang menarik. Melekat berejam gak dalam studio dengan rela melayan.
Kalao korang perasan, ada iklan kata, benda ni open for all to come and sing kan? Tiap hari kat Astro Ria iklan.
So meka yang datang ni dapat nombor. Dan pastuh, cabutan akan dilakukan one by one, after each performing contestant nak determine who goes on next.
Bila seseorang dipanggil tuk perform, they do it like normal la... tapi of course la lagu Raya. Tapi kalao azab ke sumbang ke lupa lirik ke... terus buzzer berbunyi, dan cabutan dilakukan for the choice of the next performer.
Kalao seseorang tu mampu tahan sampai abih lagu, they immediately up for consideration for the grand prizes.
Simple kan? Tapi memang besh! I had a ball! Seperti biasa ada la yang azab. Tapi ada yang bagus gak.
Member aku Ted masuk, dan dapat nyanyi. Tapi dia kena hentikan right at the end of the song sebab lupa lirik. Heh... tapi seb baik la nyanyi sedap. Tak kisah lah kalao kena hentikan sebab lupa lirik pon, sebab janji lagu tu bukan pilihan dia kerana dia bak CD takleh mainkan. And also not to mention Raya kedua kang ditayangkan tak malu la ngan orang kampung bila balik Sabah nanti. Matilah aku dicarut pas ni!!! Jangan nak pikir nak kenakan aku ngan menghantar benda tak elok ngan pakai spray perfume kat aku da (matilah gelak kan siapa yang tau cita ni)
Had so much fun that time just flew by without me realising. And dari berbuka, sedar sedar abih je da midnight masa nak gerak.
Bumped in Su and Sham there, and sempat ler borak ramai ramai kat luar, before Cham dan Burn join sekali sebab meka baru keluar konti abih shif.
Then gerak ke Pelita as usual nak sahur (pre-sahur actually). Bebudak 6ixth Sense as usual pun ada. Meka punch card kat opis kita ni, about a few minutes pasal kita sampai. Yang penting, tak penah bosan kalao bab sahur ni sebab kengkawan ada. Takyah la nak sponsor baru orang sanggup nak lepak skali. Matilah ko carut lagik...
Tomorrow lak, aku memang akan back out to attend berbuka here and there lah. Tunggu je. I feel another day filled with pictures making a return. Heh... after one rather slow week, at least I do for myself, if not you guys kan.
Ok la... nak undur tuk malam ni. Goodnight... selamat bersahur.. dan selamat berpuasa ek.
PS - Kalao korang perasan the imeem song on autoplay lagu baru. Berapa hari lepas aku da link video, ni layan la lagu ni puas puas. Lagu ni dari 6ixth Sense featuring Noe dari Letto bertajuk Cinta Yang Sempurna! One of the best Malaysian Indonesian collborations ever! Lagu ni baru start main kat Era FM, dan antara mula hot kat Hot FM. Korang undi ler lagu ni bebanyak. Muzik camni la tuk aku new direction of the Malaysian music scene (matilah pas ni rajin orang mintak lagu kat 6ixth Sense padahal sebelom ni tak pandang pon)
Apapun, aku bangga geng sahur Pelita Bangsar aku ni semua semakin berjaya!
