Here we go...

Korang da layan Diari....? Good. Then this is the song list for this week.

Lagu tugasan Konsert Akhir Akademi Fantasia
Isma - Cinta Adam Dan Hawa (Misha Omar)
Yazid - Kasidah Cinta (Dewa 19)
Aril - Kasih Tak Sampai (Padi)
Akim - Bencinta (Faizal Tahir)
Hafiz - Kau Bunga Cintaku (Anuar Zain)
Lagu Bonus Semua Pelajar - Revolusi (Bunkface)

Lagu baru nan ado info tapi semua da dapat. Merasalah....

Ok now at the risk of provocation of more idiots who use neither side of their brain - here's my take on one issue. Aril's grouses about the new song.

Lagu tugasan baru yang Aril kata tak sesuai dengan diri dia. Apa masaalahnya?

I don't think there's anything wrong with him voicing out what he feels is not 'him' musically. After all, all of the kids pretty much know their direction now, with all the weeks of experimenting different tunes. We too, as penonton, da tau apa kekuatan setiap pelajar.

Now, back to the issue.

Biasalah aku anticipate rungutan orang kata dia feeling diva. For me, it's not that case at all.

Why?

Because firstly, ini bukan lagu tugasan biasa. Ini single pertama kerjaya mereka. Which makes it a whole lot different because this will carry on post program. Kalao korang layan Akademi Fantasia all this time, you'd know the new single, is the one they're going to sing a zillion times six months down the line. Right? Now what if you were in that position, and you didn't sing something you liked.

Secondly, as a commentator kat blog aku pointed out. The critics selalu confuse kuar statement kata meka kena pilih lagu meka berhati hati (of course time nih ada je pengkritik lupa lagu-lagu dipilih untuk mereka). But in this case, it is applicable sebab memang ini akan menjadi debut mereka. They have a right to voice their concerns (action taken or not terpulang la)

Thirdly, the importance of debut singles have to be understood. In any marketing strategy for any upcoming new artiste, ada plan drafted out. The whole A&R aspect of the artiste in question is drafted out, and planned, in tandem ngan imej dan gaya muzik yang ingin dipersembahkan.
So if Aril if opting for a rock sound, perhaps he doesn't want to do pop dance with a guitar riff lacing the dance loops.

Fourthly, I don't think of it as an insult to the composer. Sebab lagu bagus mana ke hanjeng mana pon, kalao leh jual, leh jual. Tul tak? I mean we hear some serious crap on radio all the time. So this new song is not exactly Aril's cup of tea. Perlu ke we breed a whole new batch of clones yang main ikut cakap je dalam studio? How many A&R people does one outfit have? And is it really possible for one person to determine the musical direction of a diverse bunch of kids like in AF7?

Entahlah. Jawapannya, kita tunggu dan lihat.

For me, Akademi Fantasia teaches the kids about the reality of the music business. Or simulates part of it.

Here's another part that you have to learn. You're a singer, if you just sing. An artiste is a tag that few earn, because they do what they feel is right for them, from the soul, translated musically.

Takpe lah. Habis Akademi Fantasia nanti, we see how true my words will be. I've been right so far.

And oh, if you are a fan of Aril, you'll probably agree with me he has the right of choice to state his opinion. If you disagree and bitch about it, it's understandable sebab time nak final ni semua emo nak perjuangkan favourite masing-masing. Guess how it reflects back?

So until tomorrow (since I am tired out with numerous, unnecessary dramas)... good night.


PS - Ingat... stakat bitch kat sini dan meroyan konspirasi bagai no point. AFUNDI dengan handphone bukan dengan air liur (eh... ngan jari). So AFUNDI Akim, AFUNDI Aril, AFUNDI Hafiz, AFUNDI Isma dan AFUNDI Yazid.


PPS - Esok aku ada a special posting on something you should know about these kids.

Oh well... you would think they would be used to cameras now since they are in a reality show, but honestly, bright lights, in a studio where about a dozen people or so at staring at you is kinda frightening.

Both of them definitey have to work on that. Dah berkali ingatkan, but there is no substitute for experience so I guess they have to go through the motions.

Matilah aku ingat first time aku on TV kaku jerk walaopon try and act ceria and natural. Zombi Kampung Pisang!!! Heh!

Ok la... korang layan. Esok aku update agi. Got two articles, a proposal and an email to send out before I sleep...

Tunjuk belang?

Sebelom aku nak kongsi senarai lagu tugasan tuk minggu nih, aku nak meroyan sikit.

Sila baca yer, especially kepada peminat-peminat Akademi Fantasia yang rajin bertandang ke Dewan Sri Putra tuk Konsert mingguan.

Aku panas hati tol bila dapat aduan pasal beberapa anggota kelab peminat satu nih yang berangan sangat.

Aku tanak carut kosong. Aku panas hati sebab ada laporan kawasan larangan, iaitu backstage 'dicerobohi' wakil-wakil fan club mengong nih yang nak pass pesanan kat idola Fantasia meka nih.

Wei mangkuk hayun... agak-agak la. Da tau tempat tuh off limits, ko takde kena mengena ngan production, jangan pepandai nak menyelinap masuk. Ko ingat ko nak sampai kan berita apa?

That's called unfair advantage. kalao budak ko sokong tu bagus, tak perlu la setakat propah korang tuh.

Incident kat Konsert lepas ni memang menimbulkan kemarahan betul. Ada tak silap dua orang, yang slalu kelihatan bersama kumpulan fans tuk student sorang ni, masuk ke kawasan belakang pentas ketika Konsert.

Mereka menarik pelajar yang digemari mereka ni ke tepi. Sempat meka membisikkan sesuatu sebelom ada anggota production tarik pelajar tu. Budak tak bersalah tu moka blur je sebab dia rasa guilty because dia sendiri tau benda tu tak dibenarkan.

Tapi sebab anggota kelab peminat tak sedar diri nih, tindakan di luar batasan nak sampaikan berita ini memang bagi orang geram.

All the kids are treated fairly, and NO ONE has access to the outside world apart from what is allowed. Aku sendiri in contact ngan meka tidak dibenarkan sampaikan, menyampaikan apa apa pesanan ke haper, unless vetted by production. And this is a standard feature sejak dulu lagik. Para pelajar has no access to the outside world, except authorised personnel.

So to this representatives of this fan club. Awas gerak geri mu itu. Tindakan korang memang diperhatikan, dan belum lagi tada tindakan serious. Jangan sampai tindak tanduk anda menjejaskan kedudukan pelajar itu sendiri.

Trust me on this warning. Don't push your luck. Try something like this again, and korang tengok la tindakan apa akan diambil. I know mereka yang terlibat akan baca blog aku so disini aku nak warning dulu. Do not even dare, do this again.

Nak jadik peminat, AFUNDI la. Huh!

Ok la.. aku sebelom meletop carot, ni senarai lagu tugasan minggu ni.



Ok la... aku ada hal nak settle. Korang layan je la video bebudak 6ixth Sense menggila hari tu masa birthday drummer meka si Wan. Dalam lagu Cinta Yang Sempurna, yang wat vocal selain Adi tu, si guitarist meka si Atan, sebab tak cukup gitar layan vocal je. Ni impromptu performance, so takyah ulasan persembahan meka ek.

Selain tu, layan Diari kat bawah ni sekali.

Lagu besh!

So korang da tau kan... apa kejutan minggu ni?

Heh.. sapa suka ngan RA wanita baru bebudak?




Anyway, aku nak lepak ni, but kalao ada yang tertinggal Diari tadik, nanti aku update. Sementara tuh, ni la senarai lagu tugasan tuk minggu nih, minggu ketujuh.


PS - Takziah buat Sarimah yang baru kehilangan ahli keluarganya. Korang tengok dia wat Diari ceria, padahal dia sedih sangat, cover demi tugas.

PPS - For those losers yang bising (memula sorang dua fanatik ni tegur aku tima), tapi skang aku panas hati kerana ada yang kata Hafiz dianaktirikan dapat lagu 'tak popular'. Matilah! hanya kerana playlist berbekalkan illegal download, jangan nak feeling kata lagu ni sampah ok! Kang menang AIM nak kata Hafiz yang popularkan. Ni la maksud aku bila kata kekadang budak dalam tu ok, peminat lak yang akan akibatkan kejatuhan dengan perangai. Whatever it is, I'm sure, Hafiz, and all the kids for that, will do their assignments great sebab honestly, minggu ni aku paling suka songlist. Just because YOU have never heard of the song, or YOU don't like it, or YOU think it's not popular, doesn't mean the kids can't do it.

Tunggu sekejap!

Sebelom apa-apa, ni senarai lagu tugasan untuk Konsert Akademi Fantasia minggu keenam yang akan menampilkan persembahan lagu-lagu kugiran gituh. Matilah aku kugiran... korang paham da la kan.

Akim - Aurora (Estranged)
Aril - Yang Pernah (Estranged)
Hafiz - Pak Belalang (Kristal)
Claudia - Keindahan Pantai (Kristal)
Qhaud - Seruan (Lefthanded)
Yazid - Aku Di Halaman Rindu (Lefthanded)
Aishah - Segitiga (Cokelat)
Isma - Salah (Cokelat)

Lagu Medley Bonus Semua Pelajar
I Want To Break Free (Queen)
What I've Done (Linkin Park)
Before teruskan lagik, ni korang layan Diari hari ni dulu ek.



Personally, I love the fact that Estranged is being showcased. Tak gemar sangat Kristal ke Lefthanded... not my taste. But a challenge is a challenge, dan lagikpon, taste memasing kan.

Yang pentingnya lagu bonus I Want To Break Free besh gila. I know pelajar yang paling excited dapat lagu ni will be Yazid sebab walaopon dia nampak rock kapak, dia ni jenis suka adult comtemporary rock like U2 and Queen falls into that character of tunes he likes.

Lagu Linkin Park more along the lines of the other boys, tapi aku tak gemar sangat (berkali interview meka, gi konsert meka tak impressed langsung even though they are a damn tight live act).

Moving on....hari ni memang eventful gila. Ada TRANSFORMASI yang immediate yang nampak pada dua pelajar perempuan. Tapi korang kena tengok Diari Akademi Fantasia besok nak tau apa perubahan mendadak... thanks to the Principal.

Cantik tak Camelia? Aku impikan kulit flawless cam dia leh?


Eh by the way, kalao korang wondering mana aku dapat pics Konsert yang cantik-cantik tuh, nampak pro jerk, it's because memang pro photographer yang snap tuk aku.

Kalao korang nak engage dia yang freelance nih, korang apa-apa leh call dia. Nama dia Izat and number dia 013-2259195. Dia nih banyak amik pics for event hiburan and I have to say he's a pretty good photographer (kalao tak wat per aku amik dia kan) Anyway, since dia freelance kalao korang ada events, corporate or private, ke majlis perkahwinan ke apa saja yang memerlukan khidmatnya, give him a buzz. Harga dia very reasonable ok berbanding those in the market. Cuma sebut Joe Lee yang recommend so dia tau. Jangan nak call ngada tanya pasal artis ke kem salam ke haper lak... memang semua kena lempang je request camtuh.

Anyway tadik pas abih sesi kat Akademi, lari ke Pelita lepak ngan kengkawan. Yea yea... lama tak lepak camnih, walaopon kejap sebab kurang sihat. Adila joined in ngan manager dia. Pada sapa minat Adila, by the way, ni single terbaru dia. Tunggu kat radio ek... ke request mintak.



Ok... calling it a night. Be posting more tomorrow...

Keliru dan demam

Badan aku dalam sehari dua nih, cam nak demam. Tapi tak demam-demam. Camna tuh. Ubatnya? Sayang aku MMS pic dari nun jauh. Merasalah jiwang jap. Ok la... kalau da berbulan tak jumpa camni la. Teknologi je jadik penghubung.

Sebenarnya ingat nak update pics bagai hari nih, but in the midst of nak ubah some things yang tak kena ngan layout blog.

Cam Imeem yang asik down. Buang masa jerk aku link kalao asik down camni. Kang kalao dia stable aku up kan balik. Sementara tu tengah upload apa yang patut tempat yang lebih reliable.

Anyway.... apapon... ni senarai lagu tugasan Konsert Akademi Fantasia minggu kelima. Korang komen komen sikit pasal pemilihan dan juga siapa yang akan berduet sekali.

Lagu Tugasan Konsert Akademi Fantasia 7 - Minggu 5

1.YAZID - Terharu (Jamal Abdillah & Mawi)
2.ARIL - Aku Dan Dirimu (Ari Lasso & Bunga Citra Lestari)
3. QHAUD - Dibius Cinta (Yusry & Melly Goeslow)
4. SIDI - Cinta Yang Sempurna (6ixth Sense & Noe Letto)
5. HAFIZ - Terlanjur Cinta (Rossa & Pasha Ungu)
6. AKIM - Jika Kau Tiada (Erra Fazira & Yusry)
7. CLAUDIA - Kau Muzik Di Hatiku (Jacyln Victor & Vince)
8. AISHAH - Dua Hati Menjadi Satu (Gita Gutawa & Dafi)
9. ISMA - Kau Mawarku (Siti Nurhaliza & 2 By 2)

Lagu Bonus : Lucky (Jason Mraz & Colbie Callait)

Kalau ikutkan, personally aku suka lagu Cinta Yang Sempurna sebab not only it's a very good song, but also one yang menampilkan bebudak 6ixth Sense (yang merupakan ahli Kelab Pelita).

Apart from that sapa yang penah layan songlist aku sebelom ni mesti tau Terlanjur Cinta pun my favourite. Aku Dan Dirimu pun ok. Tapi tak tahan lagu aiskrim dan lagu zaman tok kadok. Heh... tuh bukan mencarut. Tuh namanya personal preference ok.

Apapon, demam melanda Akademi skang. Semu da rasa sakit tekak la... panas badan la... pening la... keletihan la. Jangan terkejut kalao lambat laun, benda nih berjangkit kat bebudak kat dalam.

Krew produksi Diari yang kerja tujuh hari seminggu semua masih bertahan lagik, and aku doakan kengkawan aku ni mampu. Skang pun semua kerja keras, walau apapon situasi melanda, tuk pastikan they bring what they can.

Sujud aku kat kesungguhan meka. Etika kerja camni aku nak serap dalam diri aku.

Anyway... this week is kind of an exciting week. Kenapa? Ramai kawan akan melawat. Heh... mesti korang nak tau sapa, tapi takpe la. Tunggu jerk.

Bukan aku yang wat guest list sapa drop by, but I like it so far. Ramai wo!!! Ok la... korang layan Diari, esok aku rajinkan diri update. Ta!


PS - Korang jangan tanya aku bebudak duet ngan sapa. It will all be revealed in due time. Tapi most of the duet partners memang I like! Kira akan dipersetujui oeh peminat tegar Akademi Fantasia.

Death....

Apa perasaan korang kalao pikirkan mak ayah korang, kalau masih ada... akan sampai juga masanya tuk pergi.

You know what I mean. That morbid feeling of death and how it can creep up on us anytime.

Well, petang tadi, aku balik rumah, dapat panggilan, my eldest uncle on my mom's side passed away. Mummy aku yang call. Suara dia memang sedih sebab another one of her brothers gone.

So sampai rumah je, siap, and then temankan orang tua aku ke rumah sedara mara aku. Yerlah... jalan nak masuk sampai ke dalam Kampung Jawa kat Klang tuh gelap, dan kedua orang tua aku pun da in their 60s, so berat nak bagi meka drive jauh waktu malam.

Sampai tuh, kita biasa la. Walaupun beragama Kristian, we pay our respect by lighting joss sticks, to pay homage to the deceased.

Then masuk to the casket in the hall. My mom diam je tengok abang dia kat dalam tuh. Aku rasa sedih tengok mak aku. Aku bayangkan... aku adik beradik berdua je, aku ngan akak aku. Tatau la apa perasaan aku kalao aku kena tengok akak aku pergi.

So aku peluk my mom and kissed her on the top of her head dan hanya mampu kata, "It's for the best... " Bodoh kan. So cliche. Tapi nak cakap apa lagik.

Then my mom, dalam nada suara biasa je, very matter of fact said, "One day, it'll be me and your papa in there..."

Aku rasa nak nangis meroyan meronta gila time tuh. Aduh. Sayang sayang orang tua aku, tak terbayang saat tu tiba nanti.

Aku hanya mampu peluk my mom, and say, "That's why we should enjoy life as it is now, that we have each other. Life's just too short."

And peluk lagi my mom.

I hate funerals. They make me go all whacked for weeks and all I can do is start thinking about death, and wondering if I'm ready to deal with it when the time comes.

But one thing about death, it makes you think more about life. And aku semakin bersemangat nak usaha tuk berjaya. Not for anything else, but to provide them a better life while they're still with me. Tak mungkin aku dapat membalas jasa ayah dan ibu aku. But I want to do whatever it is I can for them.

Spoil mood sat kan....

Ok la.. tamau sedih sedih.

Hilangkan rasa rasa curiga, duka dan nestapaaaaaa... mari kita menyanyi lagu sha na na na naaaaaaa... merasalah Amy Mastura da rasuk aku lak.

Anyway, sesi one on one ngan pelajar diadakan lagi hari ni. Dapat nasihat, serta dengar luahan perasaan another student. Seriously I wish I could help these kids more.

Eh ok la.. aku cita lebih pon korang tak dapat tengok.. kena tunggu layan Diari.

So sapa tunggu senarai lagu-lagu tugasan minggu ni... here it is.

Lagu tugasan Konsert Akademi Fantasia 7 - Minggu 3
Hafiz - Mat Disko (Sudirman)
Akim - Anak Gembala (Sudirman)
Yazid - Pawana (Search)
Qhaud - Pilihlah Aku (Latiff Ibrahim)
Obri - Abang Beca (Broery Marantika)
Aril - Andainya Aku Pergi Dulu (Alleycats)
Sidi - Hanya Di Radio (Headwind)
Claudia - Lama Tak Jumpa (Zur Eda)
Zizi - Ini Rindu (Farid Hardja)
Rubisa - Angan- Angan Raja Ema)
Isma - Rambu Ramba (Norshila Amin)
Rini - Seloka Cinta Remaja (Seha Freedom)
Aishah - Mata (Nor Kumalasari)

Merasalah katanya hampir semua lagu aku leh nyanyi sekali ok. Ingat lirik katanya. Nampak sangat aku nih da kertu!

But honestly, lagu cam Ini Rindu, Rambu Ramba, Angan-Angan dan Andainya Aku Pergi Dulu memang kesukaan aku time growing up. Amik ko pecah lobang umo aku 33, having lived through zaman-zaman tuh.

Tapi yang besh nya, Anak Gembala. Aiyo... tu la antara lagu-lagu Melayu aku layan ok! For your information, minat aku pada muzik Melayu, mula berputik when I got my first Sudirman song. Time tu ngan tak pandai berbahasa Melayu, aku banyak belajar dari lagu supaya dapat sing-a-long. Toyol, Balik Kampung, Chow Kit Road dan Basikal Tua, selain dari Anak Gembala yang aku ingat abih!

Competition wise aku cuma persoalkan lagu tugasan Obri je. Tapi aku tau Acis mesti wat arrangement power, so mungkin feel lagu tuh leh ubah kot tuk menyesuaikannya sebagai lagu pertandingan.

Eh ok la.. malas tulis pepanjang. Korang layan Diari. Da sapa peminat Faz, tunggu entry aku esok. Ada something special!

Good night guys... and be safe.

Rush hour

Hari ni memang aku pening sikit, Nampaknya team Diari banyak planning. Tunggu je la korang. Memang minggu ni banyak happening. Biasalah... minggu first kena slow sikit kan... then baru pick up momentum.

Ada benda yang mengejutkan dalam perancangan. Yang jenis sampai aku duduk dan leh tertanya diri sendiri, "Are you serious???!!!"

Kalau jadi memang first time dalam Akademi lah.

Anyway, lotih. Tak larat aku nak post pepanjang. Diari ni hari ni evaluation sayang Cikgu Syafie tak sihat, so dia takde. Dengar sora dia kat phone masa pot pet ngan dia pun kesian je. Sora cam rocker da, garau, serak semacam. Menakutkan!!!

Tapi hari ni fun gila sebab keja gelak je. Korang tengok Diari esok, dalam kelas Siti Hajar. Pecah perut, especially tang Yazi tuh for the first time aku nampak personality dia kuar. Baru slowly coming out of his shell katanya!

Ok... biasa... hari Isnin.. ni yang korang tunggukan.

Ni lagu tugasan minggu ni untuk 14 pelajar. Mereka akan mempersembahkan dua lagu tuk setiap pelajar. So nak tengok mampukah memasing perkembangkan gaya persembahan dari segi vocal as well as stage presence untuk dua tugasan yang berbeza dari segi jenis muzik.

KALUT... lagi mengarut

First of all, early this morning aku dapat SMS. Yes, I have to say congratulations to Mila sebab dia takkan pulang ke Malaysia dengan tangan kosong. Mila akan pulang dengan kemenangan dari Discovery International Pop Music Festival 17 di Varna, Bulgaria.

Mila menang untuk Lagu Terbaik untu lagu Ilham Di Matamu yang dihasilkan oleh Ajai dan Allayarham Loloq. Walaupun gagal mendapat tempat antara penyanyi terbaik dalam pertandingan yang disertai peserta dari Lithuania, Italy, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Poland, Russia,Cyprus, dan Malta, I think we all wish Mila congrats.

This win is not only special, as it's one of arwah Loloq's last works, but also sebab hari ni genap setahun Mila dinobatkan sebagai juara Akademi Fantasia musim kelima.Tahniah Mila.

Here's the list of songs for the final concert... nanti aku update pasal Diari. Ada kerja nak abihkan sikit. Aku hanya leh komen lagu lagu cover meka bawak, so no komen pasal lagu lagu baru until later in the week when we get to hear more snippets.

NUBHAN
Bukan Di Sini (Sofaz)
Ada Untukmu (Lagu Baru)
Elok la bagik lagu Sofaz. Dia dari start sampai habis dapat lagu makanan dia jerk. Mencik tol. Kalao semua student lain usaha (Toi pun sekapal tok angsa nih), dia nih asik dapat songs right up his street and tuh pun nak wat moka cam haper bila can't even pull it off and kena tegur. Bosan...

doesn't apply anything he uses to his singing, and has a nasty attitude to his hopelessness of being versatile.
Go join a boyband. They could have just given him any other poppy song.. sebab tuh jer dia mampu. I'm bored.

RIZ
11 Januari (Gigi)
Hanya Sandiwara (Lagu Baru)
I love 11 Januari but I wonder if it's the right song for a competition. I think Riz will be able to pull this off sebab lagu ni melodic and overall fit his capability. Just hope he has no issues with it.

TOI
Cinta Zulaikha (Mawi)
Paling Terindah (Lagu Baru)
Tuh dia... bagik lagu Mawi. Why don't they just have him bald, and get him to say WURRRLLLLDDDDDDDDDDD.. sebab it's for those reaon jer dia senegeri jerk yang dia akan daat undi. And that's the ONLY similarity he has to Mawi.
Can he do the song. As good as a karaoke effort jer.

NADIA
Aku Lebih Tahu (Mila AF5)
Kalut Lagi Mengarut (Lagu Baru)
Wish they had given her a stronger song. Dari bebanyak lagu, Aku Lebih Tahu yang diberikan. I think lagu baru dia punya tajuk sums up my feelings for the choice of songs kali nih for the final.
Memang kalut dan mengarut... aduh

STACY
Atas Nama Cinta (Rossa)
Siti Lela VS Cinderella (Lagu Baru)
Awwwwwwwgawddd... I love Atas Nama Cinta but is this really final material??? I don't know lah camnih mampu ke dia nak wow people. I'm hoping but I have my doubts. Her ability no hal.. but reception to the tune itself tuh aku tatau.
And what's with the title of her new song?

Will update Diari recap later. Esok ada something up. Stay tuned to find out what it is.. can't ay for now... shh!!!

Pondering... and more...

Sebab ni minggu terkahir Akademi Fantasia, aku malas nak ulas Diari sangat kecuali kalao ada isu isu berbangkit. So instead aku nak meroyan sorang sorang (lantak la.. blog aku.. sini ler tempat aku nak meroyan pon) because memang blog ni of a personal nature.

And topik of my rantings will be my thoughts leading up to the final of Akademi Fantasia kali nih. And the topic for today is...

REALITY vs FANTASIA
Ramai put down the programme as just another reality show. Sejak lahirnya Akademi Fantasia, there have been a lot of others shows yang cuba ikut formula program ni nak come up with another hit. Needless to say, Akademi Fantasia membuktikan tiada pengganti sebab setelah enam musim, it's still going strong, no matter what weaknesses came with the package.

Dengan timbulnya Akademi Fantasia, timbul gak pelbagai home grown punya pengkritik, every one of them claiming some amount of credibility. Yerlah.. jari menjadi juri.. so with the power placed in the hands of the public, konon semua layak tuk membuat keputusan what they want.
Which is kind of true... kind of.

Masaalahnya...

For those who really appreciate talent, MOST of the time they are unheard. After all, does it mean that someone spending thousands of Ringgit tuk AFUNDI akan do the same thing for the kids' albums? Most rational folk would go like, hey.. this is a competition, so kenapa aku nak waste my money.. AFUNDI RM10 pun da psycho yang sanggup undi lebih.. let them get what they deserve!

And in a way it's true. We've seen some horrendous results in the past, and this season, it's not going to be anymore different. Proof? Toi. Honestly. He may come out tops in the votes, but can anyone confidently tell me his first placing in last week's concerts reflect success post Fantasia? Didn't think so.

So it's all a little silly...

But this is Akademi Fantasia, and yes, votes count, even if they do come out with the stupidest results.
But there is nothing wrong with harbouring the hope that satu hari nanti, TV viewers who support Akademi Fantasia will put into thought more about the future of these kids, their performances and whether they're actually of substantial quality atau tidak sebelom mengundi.
Ada yang kata, kenapa ko meroyan, tak paham ke konsep rancangan.

I do understand it, but doesn't mean I have to accept it. Aku tak kisah what the results are in the end I have seen even yang menang pun tak kemana, manakala ada yang terkeluar lebih berjaya.
At the end of the day it's all about initiative. Ada yang kata baik takyah menang sebab Maestro bukan reti jaga... and that's why they fail.

In part, that may be true. But initiative of the kids pun penting gak, so if they end up lazy, shiftless bums like some of the do after the show, padan moka jerk!

Ko hengat cam dok Akademi sepuluh minggu semua nak bagik free lagik?

So what happens now?

This is a TV show. Keep that in mind. This is also a competition. Keep that in mind too. What makes your list of criteria nak menentukan juara?

Mine is first of all - the best and most consistent performer. Secondly, the most challenged dari segi tugasan diberikan AND results. Thirdly attitude and professionalism as well as drive, how bad do they want it.. you can tell. I mean everyone wants to win... but who works for it and delivers.

Everyone memang akan kena demam time musim nih, and semua akan try justify why their picks are the best, mostly emotionally motivated than anything else, dari merembes ngan pilihan sampai la ke influeneced by the drama. So will admit it... others just claim higher moral ground because they're smarter in being stupid and say that's not what motivates them when they know that is so.

Will that help the kids?

Hardly. It offers a false promise.. janji dan harapan palsu diberikan pada bebudak nih, ngan kedudukan diberikan pengundi yang pekak badak atau buta seni, that they actually have a future.

So fantasy for ten weeks is one thing, but reality after is going to be preeeeeetty painful.

Makes you almost wish Akademi Fantasia was like some other reality shows where they actually fix the winners. Oh yes.. that happens. But they just don't talk about it.. obviously. Thank goodness cinta aku tuk Akademi Fantasia is not betrayed because at least, Akademi Fantasia memang audited. Matilah ada pihak yang terasa jap agik.

But back to the PR bit... the previous posting aku tulis about tiga orang yang SEPATUTNYA disingkirkan. Ada kata that never existed. Yeah.. right.

When something doesn't happen, even if it was on the cards, people say what they can.
But the truth is almost too painful to see for some.

At the end of the day, keep voting, as small issues should hardly be detrimental to your support. My revelation was just to let people know what fans needed a wake up call to how f**ked up the results can be.. if they really believe in talent and want to keep supporting it.

Tapi ngan setiap AFUNDI of your hard earned money, especially towards those deemed unworthy by many, take a second to think.. are you buying the hype, or are you really so impressed with the talent shown.

Ok la.. meroyan aku. Note that aku type what I'm thinking jer, so takde actual structure to composition ker nak sibuk check grammar. Just random thoughts I am typing out on things that happen to cross my mind. And that's the topic for the day.
So what happened in Diari today?
Very briefly...

Diari Akademi Fantasia 6 - Minggu 10 hari pertama

The only thing worth noting today was the makeover the kids had to go through. Strangely enough kan, why does makeover need a hair colour change? And strangely enough so called experts don't even know the developement time for change with coloured hair. So much for professionals. Couldn't they bring in real experts instead of some wannabe salon hairdressers?
Anyway, bab kaler rambut nih sensitif, so I think that some so-called image consultants should know more beyond going for the obvious bila nak makeover. Tak kreatif langsung.

What Sarimah think of the supposed hairstylists? I love this gal.. she's a riot (for the record she wasn't commenting on them.. but she should have.. espcially with that response)


But they suck, kan, Sarimah?


The second episode of bagik psycho bebudak dapat lagu pepelik semua.
The only other real attraction for today was the evaluation for last concert.

Nubhan was angsa as usual seperti aku da katakan, and Toi was pitchy despite imrpovement. Gee.. didn't I point out the obvious walaupun ramai kata dia bagus sangat.

The kids were asked for final requests, Toi mintak steamboat, Nubhan mintak Japanese food, Riz mintak barbeque with everyone (which obviously will be the wrap party) while Nadia mintak arca meka wat as kenangan yang takleh dibawa balik sebab hak Akademi.

Stacy asked for the best thing, more time with Ramli MS.

So still wondering sapa paling layak and paling serious nak berjaya?

They all got their new songs, some of which were crap and not suited to them, especially lagu lagu baru. Lagu cover meka takyah la aku komen but aku rasa hardly concert material.

LAGU TUGASAN KONSERT AKHIR AKADEMI FANTASIA
NUBHAN
Bukan Di Sini (Sofaz)
Ada Untukmu (Lagu Baru)

RIZ
11 Januari (Gigi)
Hanya Sandiwara (Lagu Baru)

NADIA

Kalut Lagi Mengarut (Lagu Baru)

STACY

Anyway, aku nak offer something a little different for each of the last days leading up to the final. So every day, kalao leh aku nak offer a little gossip about the finals.

The gossip for the day?

Bebudak yang sudahpun eliminated sebelom ni dikatakan takkan perform sebab nak kelainan since that's been done before. Tapi dengar khabar, the nine kids WILL be performing onstage after all! So good news pada peminat meka yang da tersingkir kalao benar.

Ok, that's all for today. Until tomorrow...

Marie, mengumpat and then some more...

As I said, semalam dapat lepak ngan Marie Digby. Heh... semua dapat tengok show dia kat 1 Utama dalam celah ramai orang yang bakal muncul, tapi aku dapat spend some one on one quality time with her kat Spices at Concorde Hotel semalam. Besh!

She really is more pretty in person than any photograph I've seen of her.

For some reason, she reminds me of Jewel, but perhaps a more relaxed, quieter version.

Wel not so quiet, because in the first ten minutes, didn't get to my interview sebab we were just borak borak about so many things that popped out. It just came about so naturally. She is such a doll!

And talented too! In the age of Britneys and Lindsays and Mileys, Marie (it's pronounced MAR-EE-EH.. and roll the R and not Marie), she is such a breath of fresh air with her brand of guitar pop.

I hope people listen to her, especially the song Unfold, on her album. It's her favourite track, and now my favourite too.

So anyway we chatted for about half an hour, before she ended up her sessions and activities for the day with dinner. I had to rush off for mine as I wanted to make a move too.

Anyway, here are some pictures, and the best thing, with Marie being half Japanese, she's able to speak fluently in Japanese, and yes, she's going to have a Japanese single, and below, you can catch a very short snippet of it. Thanks Marie! And see you on Wednesday luv... so for fans of Marie, remember, people...it's 8pm at 1 Utama new wing, near GAP. The showcase is free admission and not to be missed!

Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi! *damn.. wrong cam mode*


Malu malu pulak...


Cam whoring with Marie. Why does lack of sleep make my eyes pop out??!!! Argh!

Later in the night gi layan tengok Iron Man. Wow! Cool film. A bit popcorn, but hey.. what do you expect. This is one of the most credible remakes of a comic book superhero I've ever seen. Good translation to the big screen. Beats the Spiderman crap any day.

I would go and see it again (especially since I missed the first twenty minutes sebab lambat sampai Sunway Pyramid). But the best part? The company!

Ramai wooo gi tengok wayang together. Pastuh adjourn for supper beramai ramai kat Asia Cafe kat SS15 in Subang. The food may have been bad, but at least the movie and the company were good.

The whole gang.. Comel, Lara, Intan. Maz (tatau nama sorang agik) as well as Shahrul (tul ke ni nama dak lecturer UiTM), Esmie, Nafi and sorang agik tatau nama.

And to round off the activities of the day.. here's *sigh* the recap of Diari for today. I do this very grudgingly....

Diari Akademi Fantasia 6 - Minggu 9 hari pertama

Honstly aku letih nak review Diari, so here's a compact delivery of things. Tak larat nak cita pasal persiapan konsert yang hampeh minggu lepas, so here's some choice scenes. Besides so much goofing off, malas lak nak recap. Especially with the Apa Kata Hati promo. Cam la tak cukup promosi tme konsert. Aduh... seb baik semua cast kengkawan, kalao tak ikot hati nak carut jerk.

Not worth my time... Aduh.. plus the mother'sd day wishes. A little too late... except for Stacy's story yang sedih sebab she brought on the guilt sebab tak abih sekolah because she worked throughout the period. But dia kata dia nak tebus by succeeding. That's worth a sniff or two...

Kembali da tuhhhhh...Sesi ngumpat pasal Mariam and especially Shafiq sebab kena tegur pasal mic, Teka sapa yang kena tegur and gi ngumpat ngan semua. Wonder why they didn't show the whole day punya sesi yang juicy.


"So what if I oversupport my notes?" Mak Bedah pun muncul balik! Pernah ke ilang...

Just a short recap on the kids' performances by bung Ramli.

Toi - This week ok, but ok tuh kena paham dari segi, kenapa minggu nih ok, minggu lepas tak ok.
Riz - Bad performance. Kena belajar dari bentuk agu macam ni.
Nubhan - Bukan flat, tapi salah note. Angsa.
Nadia - Back to normal. Leta accent tak bersesuaian
Stacy - Stop improving. Stagnant di tahap tu.
Stanly - Meneran yeah yeah tak kena.

The part that made me laugh today was pengetua carut Stanly nyanyi Endless Love dengan Riz. Siap tanya, ke nak Nubhan. Matilah some things if you get the joke you just can't stop laughing.
Here are the crap songs up for this week.

Nubhan
Tapi Bukan Aku (Kerispatih)
Bosan tol dia dapat lagu makanan ruji dia gituh. Sedih la camni! Asik dimanjakan. Nak bagik can raih undi dari kaum Hawa tuk merembes lagik la.

Riz
Rock Around The Clock (Bill Haley)
His only challenge for him is stamina which has proven to be a problem. Sebab lagu rancak jerk dia mesti semput.

Stanly
Kerana (Alleycats)
Oh God.. another classic about to be butchered.

Toi
Kau Yang Bernama Seri (Handy Black)
Ditto with Toi! Abih la... sengau lak masa check key. Bersedia la nak berdarah telinga.

Nadia
Lelaki Budaya Darat (Ratu)
Cheeky... sesuai. But woud have loved to see Stacy get this instead because it's more of her character. Challenge dia nak tengok natural ke tak jerk.

Stacy
Beat It (Micheal Jackson)
Since dia tak pernah dengar lagu nih, even though it's a pop staple, it will be a challenge. But if she can get it, it will be quite amazing.

Medley lagu bonus
Nubhan & Stacy
Ada Cinta (Acha Septriasa &Irwansyah)
Sesuai la Nubhan dapat part Irwansyah. Sama lemau bab vocal. Looking forward to Stacy jerk bab lagu nih.

Riz & Nadia
Endless Love (Luther Vendross & Diana Ross)
Of the many duets, this will be the only one to look forward to sebab dedua mampu. Just correct Nadia's English.

Stanly & Toi
Lagu Jiwa Lagu Cinta (Mawi & M Nasir)
HELP!

OK la... nak tidur... letih sesangat dah ni...

Cam whores!

Zoomed off to Astro as first agenda for the day which started quite late for me. Janji ngan the guys nak chill with them to meet Alif. Pendekkan cita, banyak la Alif cita gak pasal rumours and all. Kesian dak tuh misunderstood.

Ok kalao ada yang minat Alif... and want to know the truth, memang Alif ngaku dah ada awek da pun. Cuma dia tak nak cita lebih siapa orangnya sebab tak nak orang tuh kena tempias because of the attention.

Tapi kalao korang ada tengok pic yang disebarkan tuh, that's not his girlfriend. Tuh cuma kawan jerk. So jangan la salah anggap la pulak.

But he was a cool person to hang out with, and rasanya he is one of the few dari musim keenam nih yang ada personaliti (walaupun kalao atas pentas cam kejung tak beremosi). Anyway... cut short.. ni tuk sesapa yang minat Alif.



Also put together a short video pesanan Alif to everyone yang support dia, so sapa yang minat... layan!!!

After it was done, headed back home to take my folks gi nak settle some stuff. After we were done, rushed to the launch event of The Malay Mail kat Nikko Hotel. Heh.. walaupun aku officially da out of the paper, tapi sebagai contributor, gi gak meriahkan event.

Tak wat per pon... makan, minum dan cam whoring jerk. My cam whoring partners for the night? Dayang and Hannah Tan.

These two babes memang fun gila... pala semua sama jerk yang tak betui. Matilah carut diri sendiri!

Moka aku blur jerk.. tu la... lain kali nak cam whore pastikan cukup tido!


Arghhh!! Ngantuk gila babas! Tomorrow jer aku update pasal Diari ok. Tak larat ari nih. But for those of you yang nak tau lagu tugasan minggu kelapan, here's a quick run down and what I think of them.

Lagu Tugasan Konsert Akademi Fantasia minggu kelapan
Nubhan - Hanya Engkau Yang Mahu (Aizat)
Strong song, but for the wrong person. Aku rasa lemau jerk kang dia deliver, as usual. But the song doesn't really require a powerhouse, so leh la cover kot. Still.... hopeless la.

Riz - Laskar Cinta (Dewa)
Bai bagi lagu updated sikit cam Dewi. Perlu ke Laskar Cinta. And is this Chapter One or Two? Erm... No problems for Riz for sure. Main concern for him would be the right attitude, instead of the Blue Steel stare jerk manjang. More attitude, and not try too hard as usual.

Stanly - Naluri Lelaki (Samsons)
Abang Ramli! I officially hate you bagik dak nih bagi lagu favourite band aku. Matilah katanya Naluri Lelaki! Camna dia nak menghayati! Merasalah gelak sorang. Honestly he is going to kill the song... and not in a good way.

Toi - Kasih Berduka ( M. Osman)
Do we even need to talk about him?

Nadia - Karma (Cokelat)
Strong song, right up her street. I think Karma is such a good song for Nadia sebab it's a hard tune, with a soft approach. Sapa minat Cokelat paham la. Anyway, she should be doing well on this one.

Stacy - Gembira Hidup Ini (Farah)
Not a challenging song for her. Am really starting to get upset, sebab lagu tugasan Stacy kebelakangan ni cam either bosan atau just tak mencabar langsung da.
She needs a song yang leh showcase more of her. Not something pop staple yang biasa biasa jerk.

LAGU BONUS (DUET)
Sembunyi - Misha Omar/Andy Flop Poppy
Not a fan of this song, walaupun ok ok. Not a challenge for the kids, but the thing is, depending again sapa yang nyanyi la. Anyone out of Stacy, Nadia and Riz and it'll be nothing short of a disaster.

Paling Comel - Nana/Achik
Crap song, for crap singers. Yang ni patut Toi dan Stanly duet.

Tak Tahu Antara Dua - Farah/Adam
Another boring poppy tune. Tak paham la.. pilihan lagu smakin mengarut.

Ok la.. be posting Diari reviews in the next entry. Bye guys... and gals.

PS - Lagu lagu tugasan leh dengar kat sebelah along with kesemua persembahan Konsert.

Stanly the totok drama queen!

Diari Akademi Fantasia 6 - Minggu 7 hari pertama

Ari ni bukak Diari je kena layan justification tuk the wardrobe. Malaih la. Cakap jer la apa korang nak, tunjuk jer la apa korang nak... doesn't change fact they're ugly in the Jasmi Rejab inspired, Yoda approved combo made in hell.

Moving on, Nadia, Nubhan dan Toi dibawa keluar.. AGAIN. Enough of these outdoor trips la. Letih la.

Kak Fati conduct classes for those remaining in the Akademi with mock questions of how they would face the media. The nice way la. Cause in reality, amik ko! Panas kang dibuatnya.... tapi sebab ni fantasia so expect things to be polished and sweet. Unreal la sikit.

Back to the surprise trip - rupanya meka di bawak... erm.. fishing. Sesuai la Nubhan dan Toi ke laut.. da memang biasa da time meka nyanyi slalu ke laut pun. But I wonder how they make the selections and destinations. I don't see the need for it at all la all these trips.

Toi seronok dapat kerjaya baru kerana kehebatan mancing nan ado dia lebih hebat kemampuan nan ado dia menyanyi.


Yawn... games and all. A little sleepy nak layan these things. Especially with the games sessions.

Alif pun ngantuk kalao main game. Terus minum shushu jer tidow..


Nadia hebat gak with her catch... but overall I didn't really bother to pay attention to the fishing trip.

Once they reach back Akademi, they all get audio messages from their families.
Sodih la gak memasing dapat their pesanan.

Tapi yang nak muntah tuh, si Stanly punya family drama. Please lah. Puke puke puke!
Toi punya bini dia jeles dia nari ngan pelajar perempuan. Oh please... love may be blind, but I don't think the girls in the Akademi are. Eeewwwww!

Ayah Alif pesan lak pasal Nadia kalao nak 'main' jangan pegang-pegang, tergelak sat. Ok, we get what it means, but adult nature sikit ler lawak bila da cross kita nya otak kuning kan.
Gawd... that was a boring first half.

Second half lak... pengetua da masuk. Amik ko... we got a clip of Stanly tengah b*tchy ngan Stacy. So all in all you know the drama's on!

But before that kita kena deal ngan bebudak tetiba nak cita pasal how it was to have Rina in the Akademi. Snooze.

Terjaga sat bila Stanly tetap nak go on about Rina.

"Tapi satu benda yang kadang-kadang menjengkelkan kita orang ialah bila mama tegur tanpa mencari bukti dulu. Sebab dia tegur dulu, dia marah marah marah... melulu dulu, lepas tu, dia tatau apa sebenar punca benda tu. Kadang kadang kita pun terasa."

Pastu konon cakap turn around nak puji Rina baik katanya...

Riz lak kata, "Bagi Riz, kitaorang selalu bergaduh sebab mungkin sebab kadang kadang mama tegur Riz buat itu buat ini, macam macamdia tegur kan. kadang kadang bukan salah Riz tetiba dia tegur macam tu tanpa usul periksa macam Stanly cakap tadi. So itu yang macam Riz terasa hati. Tapi bila kita fikir fikir balik, macam dia orang tua dalam Akademi ni, betul la kan, ini realiti, dia sebagai orang tua dekat dalam Akademi ni, dia tegur anak anak dia semua kalau buat salah semua. Mungkin Riz ada salah kan. Riz pulak macam budak budak nakal yang kurang mendengar cakap orang orang tua pastu, itu macam kita ada perselisihan faham. Tapi takdelah teruk sangat. Takde simpan dalam hati. Bagi Riz, mama ni yang Riz respect dia walaupun dia da berumur tapi dia masih semangat kejar cita cita dia nak menjadi penyanyi."

So, which one you think is a more humble statement.

The next scene, mula da. Stacy kena kaw kaw dari Stanly.

"Patut ko selalu kurus, banyak cacing."

"Anak musang kalau rambut sudah macam beruk kat Taman Sepilok sudah mau datang lari menyanyi."

Stacy macam malas nak gaduh. Pastu she tried to laugh it off. Stanly masih tak puas hati sambung statement tak perlu dia.

"Ah dengar la statement si musang tu, mulut musang bukan ko tatau, berbelit belit. At least kalau gajah ni..."

"Uwaa.. mengaku gajah sudah," gelak Stacy.

Pungut the camera kena mencelah.

Stacy pointed the finger kat Stanly and just said "Itu"... indicating Stanly started it. And Stanly melatah, "Ko panggil aku gemok apa hal!"

Aiyo.. cam pondan emo sangat!!!

Deal with it fat boy! You are fat... not to mention short.. and you are b*tchy... perhal lak nak melatah. Insecurity sangat. Biar buruk rupa... jangan buruk perangai.

Ish ish ish... tak abih abih Stanly ni. Dah lah tak sedar untung dok dalam Akademi....

WALAUPUN!!!!

Walaupun Stanly tanak mengaku dia kata Stacy start dulu, bukti footage ada.

It all started dari meja makan bila si Stacy layan Kutip.

Si Stanly cakap, "Kalau dia tak pakai make up.. macam muka mmmmm..."

"Gila! Dia jeles sebab muka dia tak boleh make, dia gemok," balas Stacy.

Sentap bijik da... da kena hina camtuh kena la balik.

The fight continued.

Masa sebelom masuk dance floor for the first fight scene shown, dia saja try and tilt the mineral watter bottle masa Stacy tengah minum. And then rampas cushion di pegang Stacy nak bak dalam bilik. So immature.

And yes people, kalao korang ingat meka bergurau... sebab yerlah pas ni mesti kuar statement cover line kan, ala PR kononnya bergurau, aku risik ngan orang Akademi.

Al kisahnya, MEMANG MEREKA BERPERANG! Memang the fight took place and it's not meant to be cute or usik usik. Mintak mintak tenaga pengajar put their foot down and ajar sikit si Stanly budi bahasa. Mungkin tak cukup kot bab tuh gak selain dari limitation nyanyian dia.

Round 1 - Da kutuk Stacy, Stanly tak puas ati kena carut balik


Round 2 - Masih tak puas ati, saja cari gaduh ngan Stacy lagi


Round 3 - Da masuk dance floor, still tak puas ati nak gaduh. Pastu carut Stacy yang start the fight. Keji sangat Stanly nih


After the dust settled, meka discuss what songs they would like kalao they could pick their own. Berangan tol Stanly feeling kata nak lagu Il Divo, nak arrangement camtuh and then went on to ask for his choice of songs. Pastu nak kata nak duet ngan Stacy. Nak tumpang ke sebab dia favourite.

Statement tambahan.

"I hope that this week kita semua dapat lagu yang betul betul grand. Betul betul dapat mengangkat nama AF. Kita tanak pengetua kita malu, kita tanak diri kita sendiri malu, kita tanak season kita AF6 malu. Nanti orang kata kejadahnya AF6 ni nak bawak gi IB."

Tau takpe... but problem is bagi lagu apa kat ko pun hancur. Memang ko memalukan semua. Ptoiii!!! Lagu lagu ko dapat memang grand.. cuma nyanyian ko jerk cam grand hanj.

Out out out!!!!

After the drama, evaluation time. Ramli punya evaluation.

Stanly : Sebutan Melayu kurang Melayu.
Nadia : Kurang consistent.
Toi : You are not a guitar player, tiap kali tukar chord mata ikut.
Nubhan : Angsa!
Stacy : Dikatakan banyak belajar. Bukan kritikan tuh.
Riz : Focus kat only at one thing at a time and lupa everything else.
Alif : Work hard, and set mechanically.Kejung ler kiranya.
Pemberian lagu. All with new arrangement. Aduh.. mampu ke meka nih.
Last scene all the bloopers with Sarimah... pecah perot aku gelak.

Lagu tugasan minggu ini
Alif - Rozana (Search)
Lagu bakal jadik penyelamat Alif kalao dia leh overcome dia repeated weaknesses. Will he or won't he? He'd better after last week's votes dia dok second last only to Rina. He needs this to jump in votes or he may just be the surprise eliminated. While I don't think that's possible, still, he needs to work harder.

Nubhan - Dealova (Once)
Recycle tol nak bak balik lagu ni. Baru musim keempat Faizal perform lagu nih. Soalanya, leh ke Nubhan perform as well. Nak harap better memang haram lah kan?

Riz - Memburu Impian (Kaza)
Lagu strong, and not much of a challenge for him. Kalao dia tak main main and relax sikit, this could make sure he's in the final.

Stanly - Footloose (Kenny Loggins)
Nyanyi pun takleh... ni siap lagu rancak. Abihla another retro classic to be destroyed by Stanly.

Toi - Syakilla (Rahim Maarof)
Arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhh!!! I used to love this song... skang..... nangis la camni satu demi satu lagu favourite aku dihancurkan!

Nadia - One Night Only (Dreamgirls)
I wonder which version dia akan nyanyi. The Jennifer Hudson or Beyonce version? Or the remix yang slow then masuk disco. Either way dia mampu. No hal la...

Stacy - Hati (1957) (Datuk Siti Nurhaliza)
Aduh... lemau la lagu ni tu competition. Bagi la better song. Mendayu dayu sangat. But I guess some people like it, so ok lar. No problem too for Stacy.

LAGU BONUS
The Music Of The Night - Phantom of The Opera (Barbra Streisand)
Abang Ramli, if you are reading this, I won't forgive you kalao ko bagik Stanly nyanyi lead ni feeling Michael Crawford! Keji sangat tau nak destroy the classics!
Strong song, but to give these kids.. is like casting pearls before swine.
Why the Barbra Streisand version? Give me the original cast recording solo featuring Michael Crawford anyday. Ada beza tuh.

Medley Songs - Nasi Goreng (Black Dog Bone), Apek & Marjiana (P.Ramlee), Terbang Burung Terbang (P.Ramlee), Obat (P.Ramlee), Cik Kecik Keboom (Saloma), Lagenda (Sheila Majid)
Ni baru kena sikit as a bonus. It'll be fun. Painful to watch some of them, as well as to hear, but fun.

Lagu tugasan semua da update sebelah. Layan...

I'm back!!! For good!!!

I been so busy. So many things have happened in the last few days. Thanks to kengawan pembaca yang singgah sini tiap hari tunggu update, to everyone aku jumpa kat konsert Akademi Fantasia lalu as well as Anugerah Planet Muzik yang mintak aku update cepat (katanya... walaopoooonnn) and those who SMSed and called me to make sure everything was alright. You guys are the best, and you're the reason I keep blogging. Jangan risau... carutan akan berterusan.

So... thank you again for being so patient, guys and being loyal to my writing. Katanya... walaupun...

And sesapa ingat aku nak stop blogging kerana Saida keluar, aiyo... so drama ke? Takde maknanya.

It's only a competition guys... our favourites menang ke eliminated ke, bukan kita yang dapat duit ma. Anyway, honestly so many things have been happening, tuh yang aku occupied gila.
Ok.. since last Wednesday sebenarnya updates aku sangkut sebab memang aku busy. Wat per? Erm.. mesti ada yang carut...

Disebabkan ada peluang datang, ada orang offer, aku sebenarnya sibuk shooting. Bukan sebalik kamera walaupun tuh minat aku, tapi berlakon. Yeap... peluang aku mencuba sesuatu yang baru and learn just how difficult it is.

Aku berpeluang nak belajar a lot from my fellow cast members in Tam, Farish, Nora Danish, Zizan dari Raja Lawak... and Nizam yang direct it.

Kalao korang nak tengok dan carut lakonan aku, bulan depan akan ditayang kat Astro Ria. Ni pilot tuk season kedua Gaia. Merasalah kan...

First time memang kayu gila... nervous. Then slowly ada la feel. Tapi ada satu part tuh, aku terasa cam dalam America's Next Top Model lak... you know when they shoot the Covergirl commercial antara challenge terakhir tuh. You think like.. alaa.. a few lines pun leh screw up. But the pressure is immense to deliver.

Tapi syukur, I don't think (or I hope at least) that I didn't do too bad.
Apart from that, there was drama, dalam kesibukan. aku da putuskan hubungan with my Boo last Saturday. Nampak je muka ceria.. tapi sedih sebenarnya. Sedih sebab sayang, but somehow I think our lives are too different at this point in time, and maybe it's just not right for us to be together at this moment. Boo, I know you'll read this - and I meant what I said. i still love you, and you are still very much part of my life walaopon aku rasa susah nak terima kau as my significant other.

Maybe we'll be better off as best friends because you are, and always will be a part of me. As long as you want me to be lah...

Ahad lak masa nak ke Anugerah Planet Muzik baru sedar hilang my digital camera. Tatau la tercicir ke kena curi masa shooting. Sedih sikit sebab my sis yang bagik as a present, so sentimental value. Minggu depan je ganti beli baru, or repair my old Ixus to blog with.

Today was a lot better. Firstly scene aku semua tamat da shoot. Lokasi terakhir kat Central Market depan orang ramai. Rasa nak nangis horror... but it went ok. Lega pas abih. Ada one more offer da datang nak berlakon siri 13 episod drama baru, tapi shooting is sometime in June, so doubt I can take it.

Then dapat call from income tax kata my clearance da ready. Thank you Puan Alina sebab dalam beberapa hari jer da settlekan my case. Lega... potongan pun about RM10,000 jer.. so kira ok lah. Discount manyak woo sebab aku settle dari 1997 punya income tax tak declare.
Also got good news from Nuffnang... love you guys!

So many things happening.... so little time.. ok la.. hari ni aku actually tanak posting panjang, tapi in the words of Stacy... terlebih sudah...

Will post more tomorrow... ni review Diari ari nih.

Diari Akademi Fantasia Minggu 6 Hari 1

Saida's departure nampaknya banyak affect the kids. Mana taknya... I think she was one of the few yang get along with everyone.
For sure, kalao ikut undian skang mengarut, mana taknya si Rina dan Toi seem set to be next to leave.. tapi Nadia pun dekat the bottom with Stanly still in the top five. Ridiculous.

Masuk je minggu baru awal pagi da promo barangan baru Mayfirst. Erm... no thank you.

Riz kata mak dia nya birthday Monday, tapi Kutip the irritating talking camera said he has to lose 5kg by Wednesday baru leh Akademi kirimkan birthday present on his behalf.

Stacy wish adik dia a belated 12th birthday

Sesi motivasi, Toi ngadu dia distracted punya pasal tu yang dia lost focus on his performance. Every week ada jer alasan.

Bacaan wasiat si Saida nampaknya Rina paling affected pemergian dia. I love her will sebab Riz dan Stanly lumped together to behave...

Am glad yang Saida keluar secara bermaruah, not with her worst performance, but with the promise of something, and leaving everyone affected by her not in the Akademi.
Riz leh pick a fight with the camera... how mature. Merasalah some people have nothing better to do.

The circle talked about who they wished to see to come to see them.

Suddenly lari topik, cita pasal jodoh - Rina kata kalau dia ada jodoh ngan Stanly lak dia tak menolak. My goodness!!! Very the mango lassie ok!

Erm... on to arts and crafts session lak. Aduh bazir masa tol la dalam Akademi nih. They had to make something a miniature something or other to symbolise their success.. ado?

Oh well... at least now I know they suck at art as well as singing and performing.

Diari bahagian kedua.
Riz tetap feeling cam whoring sibuk nyanyi depan camera. Well, you can't blame him when a lot of delusional females fall for it. Dedicating a song to his mom pastu, semua ikut ler take advantage nak wish families. Toi sibuk nak enter frame skali.

On to Siti Hajar's class. Fast forward, to Ramli MS punya class yang lebih narik.

Nubhan - off key abih. Alasannya nak pikirkan pergerakan.
Alif & Toi - kisahnya trying very hard but out within a minute.
Stanly - kisahnya getting better.. aiyo.. which part?
Rina - trying hard but slow progress just like Alif dan Toi.
Riz - kisahnya good tapi perlu forward lagik.

Tak tunjuk evaluation Stacy dan Nadia. Tapi Stacy dapat lagu baru - which she can only hear during lunch time ngan persembahan of the song not determined yet.

Ni lagu tugasan minggu nih.

ALIF
Ketahuan (Matta)
Lagu hit, sedap tapi alkisahnya mampu ke nak bawak we'll have to see la. Dia emo problem manjang, takde feel langsung.
Tak mencabar sangat... tapi tuk Alif, anything is one, so dunno how lah.

NUBHAN
Generasiku (OAG)
Hit song about to be massacred. I don't expect much of him, and honestly he should just go home too.Safe song within his range, but he's bound to flub it up again.

RIZ
Seribu Tahun (Imran Ajmain)
Makanan dia.. tapi I'll bet he'll fall into Anuar Zain mode again. Honestly, one Anuar is enough. We don't need another clone.

STANLY
Kata (Hazami)
Perlu ke aku nak komen. Lagu sedap gila. Like Nubhan, bakal hancur ler lagik thanks to the person who is going to carry it.

TOI
Tak Bisakah (Peter Pan)
Another hopeless case. Aku bebetol give up with these kids.

NADIA
Rama-Rama (Ella)
More up her street even though she seems to think that Ular is more suited to her.

RINA
Ular (Anita Sarawak)
Suitable choice of songs, but they seem to be pigeonholing her into that sound. Wonder how she's going to break the mould of a lounge singer.

STACY
Don't Speak (No Doubt)
Another possible highlight of the week. Enough said.

All in all I don't see a lot of the songs as concert material, because they just lack the punch needed, but I suppose it caters to their strengths as well as challenges their weaknesses.. so there must be a reason for each and every selection by Ramli MS. We'll just have to see. Ada mini drama brewing sebab ada yang tak puas ati lagu tugasan...
Toodles for now...

Speedy Gonzales!

Title posting ni ialah tu describe my movements ari nih. Whoo!!!! Gila la ari ni aku jadik Speedy Gonzales! Awal pagik buta da ada kat ofis (former worplace - matilah) nak settle ngan HR.

Borang EA aku tak lengkap. Dua minggu still konsep meka tetap moisturizer (pelembab la) nak settle my paperwork.

Meka confident borang EA lepas aku tu 2001 dan 2002 tak penting katanya (akibat aku spesis tak penah declare income tax sebelom ni baru nak belajar).

Nak tanak.. aku pun ke ofis Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri kat Jalan Duta.

Memula tension kena sepak dari blok 9, ke blok 8A.

But from there, aku ok kot sebab akak yang handle aku tuh, cam aku. Heh.. merasalah feeling popular, terus ada yang nak bantu. Syukur!

Moka blur jerk aku, but thanks to akak yang jaga aku tuh kerana make it so much easier. Got all the relevant borang.

Yang sakit atinya of course la borang EA 2001 dan 2002 yang missing from the whole stack of my papers with me tuh, penting. So aku pon balik ke opis dan berdepan HR.

"I want my borang EA for 2001 and 2002."

"Owh.. erm.. orang yang handle paper ko takde la Joe."

"I want my EA forms... NOW!"

And walaopon I was told it would take another week to get them (sebelom ni pun bagik meka dua minggu nak settle), it took only three minutes to get them. Panas ati... sia2 aku ke LHDN incomplete. All because of the laziness of some people.

Dari sana, rush ke Astro tuk PC tuk Faisal yang tersingkir.

Lega ati sikit nak lepas all my frustration with kehadiran kengkawan yang ada nak menenangkan hati and menceriakan hari aku.

Of course Faisal direct kena carut light light, heh... tapi honestly dia ni nampak baik (tone deaf takde kena mengena ngan perangai orang yer in some cases), walaupon takde emo sangat. Merasalah horror kot kena carut depan depan. Heh...

Faisal happy jer... makan ati tak freekey dari forum CARI?


Abih tuh, gi layan smoking jap kat Jurassic Park (tuh nama smoking area outdoor kat Astro ek... bukan tempat lain)

Perasan ada orang familiar lalu kat dalam.. Khai dan Rosma. Meka jenguk kita kat mana jap. Banyak wo invitation meka nak edar tuk hari bahagia meka yang smakin dekat. Tapi yang tukang angkat invitation tuh macam familiar jerk.

Bakal pengantin...


Siapa manager meka ni ek?


Cam kenal.. pandang sini jap...


Tuh diaaaaa.. siap pose. Ingat agik tak kat pengkritik bebas tak bersora pose jer tuk konsert ketiga?


Amik ko! Rupa si Fizi. Merasalah lebih glamer dari artis di manage. Borak kejap agik, then rush balik nak settle some stuff. Can't say much, except am going to be very busy this week.
Nanti aku cakap la apa dia ujung minggu nih ek.

On to today's Diari. Nothing much... flashback to rehearsals, kesian tengok Ramli MS pening layan bebudak nih tol.

Then on to bacaan wasiat. Pelik tol kenapa meka nak wat time Alif, Stacy dan Stanly tuh takde. Mungkin sebab tiga orang ni top three dalam undian dapat bonus gi tengok drifting.
Erm.. tak sesuai dapat bonus. Bab Stanly especially. Dia tak layak tol for any rewards. I think they going a bit far in giving out rewards, and patutnya reserve bagik meka yang buat terbaik as determined by tenaga pengajar.

Back to the Akademi, ada pertandingan masa cucur Adabi. BORING!

The celebrated Nadia's birthday, and nyanyi lagu iklan KFC - whoopie. Next!

Happy B-Day Nadia...


Kelakar tengok Stacy nak sepak belon jatuh when she lost her balance and fell over a kotak pastu merayu ngan camera supaya jangan kuarkan scene tuh dari Diari.

Evaluation puas ati tengok meka semua kena bantai! Dari Syafie ke Siti Hajar...

Stanly kena kaw sampai Syafie tanya betul ke penah dia join koir sebab pitchy melampau. Sayang edited tak tunjuk semua.

Bila Ramli MS masuk.... one more round.

"Saya tanak komen lagi, every week is the same thing."
You don't say bung Ramli. Bebudak asik wat mistake sama jerk.
Bung Ramli kenalkan new syllabus. Every Monday pas dapat lagu, bebudak dapat one hour, before bung Ramli check, nak tengok bebudak leh hapal the melody of the song tak. Also new rule, lunchtime dan dinnertime bebudak restricted to speaking just in English. Hopefully this will help improve their delivery.
Ok ok.. on with lagu tugasan baru.

ALIF
Hai (Adam AF2)
Mencabar bagik dia sebab he basically has no personality or soul. Tapi lagu ni catchy dan kalao dia leh up sikit pun da cukup nak bagik dia an interesting performance for this week nya concert. Mampu, tapi entah wat ke tak jerk.

NUBHAN
Kembali Senyum (Izwan Pilus)
Personally lagu nih lemau, and with the same problem as Alif, tatau la camna si Nubhan ni nak buktikan dia improve ke tak. Setakat ni his performances are getting bad to worse. And prestasi dia makin nurun... so don't know if this week dapat bantu dia ke tak.

RIZ
Time Is Running Out (Muse)
Walaupun I see nothing special in Riz so far, siap nak carut je rasanya ngan prangai melampau diva dia, but this week dia dapat my fave song, so antara kena puji gila gila atau kena keji nak mampos la. I think he can carry the song, tapi the right rock feel is essential and that, aku tatau kalao dia ada ke tak. He has this contrived sense of stereotype of what rock is, so it could end up really good, or campy as hell.

STANLY
Umi (Datuk Shake)
Lagi satu lagu sedap bakal dihancurkan. I expect nothing from him anymore. Will he prove me wrong? I doubt it.

TOI
Beautiful Girl (Sean Kingston)
Bagik aku gelak je dak ni dapat this song. Doa jerla... dia ni nunggu masa je nak kena eliminated. I expect it to be a mediocre effort (not horrible) but enough to put you to sleep. After all.. it's Toi.

NADIA
Kalis Rindu (Elyana)
Love the song, just hate the original singer. Tapi Nadia dari sikit-sikit dengar dia nyanyi lagu nih, it should be no problem for her. One of the expected fun performances of the week.

RINA
Sorga Dan Neraka (Hetty Koes Endang)
Merasalah tajuk lagu ni horror. But it's a fun song and I think Rina will have no problems going all out with this tune. Challenge dia tu aku la.. rasanya she will have to interact more through the song, without making it too much of a club act as she usually does.
The question is whether she can achieve that moderation in her performance to take it over the top time perlu.

SAIDA
Bila Bunga Berguguran (Ogy)
Strong song, which is not too difficult for her. Her only problem for me again and again is always confidence which ends up affecting vocal and gerak geri dia atas pentas, making her look amateurish at times. Like Ramli pun cakap, she is progressing, but not at a pace rapid enough, so we'll see ngan Akademi Fantasia da sampai half way mark, dia mampu ke catch up.

STACY
Makhluk Tuhan Yang Paling Seksi (Mulan)
This is going to be THE performance of the week nak watch out for. Aku yakin Stacy akan paling menghiburkan la for the night. The song is catchy, funky and sexy, everything that Stacy finds a breeze nak execute. Mintak mintak takde masaalah pelik da nak affect her.

You guys can check out the songs in the Imeem player kat sebelah. Aku nak sambung paperwork sat. Esok nak ke LHDN lagik. Ciao.

Cinta terlarang?

Ini senarai lagu tugasan untuk konsert minggu keempat aku dapat dari member sat tadik,
Cam tak besh lak rasanya. Toi still dapat lagu yang easy but catchy, as usual, while Aif dapat lagu yang mencabar lebih overdose dirinya yang kurang emosi.

Nubhan dapat lagu ala manja ngan sora malas dia, Riz akan dijantankan ngan lagu Pop Shuvit. Excuse me, gelak jap.

Stanly bakal menghancurkan lagu Kasih Tercipta yang sedap.

Saida mesti naik pening ngan Hati Kama, while I really don't know how Nadia is going to fare sebab tatau kemampuan dia bak lagu Saloma yang also pernah coverd by Uji Rashid.
Same ngan Stacy yang bak lagu single baru yang dia menang aritu kerana performance dia.

Mama Rina no hal kot sebab aman tak lari sangat. Matilah! Okla.. au update more later. Here's there senarai. You can hear the songs di sebelah (except for lagu Stacy la sebab baru ma - sib baik Riz dan Stanly tak dapat lagu nih kalao tak... matilah aku gelak)

TOI - Lauk Ku Cukup Masin (Spider)
Berterabur la dia nak nyanyi ngan laju ni.. jangan lidah sangkut kat gigi dah.

NUBHAN - Cinta Hampa (D'lloyd)
Nyanyian hampeh is more like it. Dunno how he will fare, but challenging dari segi emotional range which he has none of.

RIZ - Marabahaya (Pop Shuvit)
Ngan dia ni soal stamina. Hari tuh wat Separuh Masa cam Separuh Mati. So we see how he gets on this week.

STANLY - Kasih Tercipta (Faizal Tahir)
I used to love this song. I think pasnih no more...

ALIF - Come Out And Play (Offspring)
Mencabar because it's in English and needs attitude, both of which lemau sikit Alif nih.

FAISAL - Joget Bunga Melati - Halil Chit
What doesn't he hancurkan. Dari orang yang nyanyi Happy 'Burstday' pun sumbang, don't hope for too much the moment he opens his mouth.

SAIDA - Hati Kama (Datuk Siti Nurhaliza/Noraniza Idris)
More comparisons to Siti la pasni. Tapi kalao dia mampu wat ngan elok, bagus la.Not an easy song for sure.

NADIA - Mengapa Di RIndu (Saloma)
Love this song, love her getting it. This will be like Amylea dapat Asmara.

RINA - Terbang Helang (Datuk Sharifah Aini)
No hal la. Makanan. Just hope dia focus.

STACY - Cinta Terlarang (lagu baru)
Love the new song. Patutnya lagu cipraan Sharon Paul ni khabarnya supposed to be single Bob tuk album baru dia, tapi kena baik punya cilok.

Nih sambung update belah malam lak...
Amboi ... aku dapat berita lagu tugasan awal sikit pun nak kecoh. Ada lah tuh...

Malas nak go on. Biasalah kalao orang tak paham bahasa dan buta IT. Matilah ko!

Anyway, today punya Diari first part tuh memang bosan. Yerlah.. kalao biasa nak deal ngan surat wasiat, and then nak messages and all pesanan dari bebudak bagik meka yang tercampak... oops.. tersingkir keluar, kali ni dua kali ganda.

So practically wasted two thirds of the first Diari.

Then moved on to drama queen moment of the day with Riz yang dapat pesanan audio dari his dad. What else do you expect. Kalao molot dia tak poaka, menangis ler keja feeling emo. Seriously, he just needs a good smack.

Drama queen. In action - AGAIN


I don't even get the KFC jingle punya bab latihan dalam kelas kak Fati.

A little bit of a filler some more, but this time ngan good intentions with focus on Rina, Riz dan Toi ke Pusat Aktiviti Kanak Kanak or Pusat Nursalam or something for kanak kanak terbiar I think.

Bab ni ok la.. I actually like this because at least use the kids fame for more charity, welfare or outreach, for any cause. So bagus la. Makes the whole Diari worth watching to see the kids happy.

Just pengsan sat tengok the Mayfirst punya signboard tuh.

Mayfirsttttt... lambang seeeejatiiiii!!!

The Mayfiiiirstttt waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!!


Diari kedua meka cuba nak dekatkan penonton ngan character Toi dan Saida with their family life. Bagik insight sikit into personal life meka. Not good, not bad.. just there.

Bab story seram pasal Alif dengar bunyi tapak kaki lur bilik kul 3 pagi and Nadia kata Stacy dengar ada orang panggil dia dan dengar bunyi orang mandi when the bathroom was empty was actually a nice touch. Mungkin sebab tiap musim bebudak kuar je banyak ghost stories nak share, so nice to hear pun dari mulot meka sendiri what they experience sana. Seb baik tak dengar Faisal nyanyi. Lagik scary.

Post mortem bersama pengetua, Saida kena tegur, even with improvement, dia kena buck up sebab still lum all out agik with her low energy level.
Don't know how the others fared, but Faisal kena kaw kaw.

Kena bantai - ditegur pasal persembahan keangsaan dia


Dia kena buta bunyi. Kalao buta huruf tuh illiterate, so I suppose that means a nice way of putting tone deaf kot.

Ramli pun kata dia makin teruk, and from now, kalao dia tak ok, tak kisah kalao in the first four bars sumbang pun nak hentikan. I hope that's applied in the next concert. Kata Sarimah memang ada pengetua ada kuasa nak wat tuh, even in the konsert, so thank goodness. Hope that's applied soon sebab I think it is getting from bad to worse, and no one wants to hear croaking.

Alif dikatakan pengetua as improved, and patutnya dapat lagu baru kalao tak konsep runaway train sikit pada penghujung.

Nubhan di komen improve confidence, but ... entah edited. Tapi ada but.

Toi was said to be unable nak kawal diri sampai tatau nak dengar diri sendiri pitchy.Sentap Faisal dalam time tegur Toi, Ramli leh kata tak macam Faisal.. matilah gelak aku moka Faisal sentap!

Sentap! Toi kena tegur pun dia kena reference...


Stanly finally kena yang sepatutnya.
"Kenapa you memekik last tu.?"
Stacy pun dikatakan pitchy sebab focus visual, which was indeed a problem for her.

Nadia, Rina and Riz dapat lagu baru sebagai hadiah tuk meka joining Stacy as having singles. Ni mesti konsep nak muatkan dalam kompilasi Evo nih kot, so lambat laun semua gak dapat ler. Cuma tunggu masa jerk kalao sampai standard.

Lagu tugasan diberikan... like we don't know.... matilah.
Then on to the last bit. FInal scene patut panjang sikit. Riz wat hal lagik.

Riz : Mama tiap-tiap dapat lagu best...
Rina : Banyak kau punya best. Kalau kau tak buat sendiri boleh jadi best ke lagu tu... ta boleh. You are the one who create the song.
Riz : Tak, maksud saya, lagu tu sendiri da best, lepas tu tambah lagi Mama punya power lagi best.
Rina : That I can accept
Riz : Amboi... tercampak... ke Tokyo.
Pause
Riz :Apa komen mama kalau mama dapat lagu asli
Rina :Oi.. no problem. Kan dah cakap. I can accept any song. Cuma baik tak baik je cara nak buat.
Riz : Mama the legend!... katanya... walaaaaaaupunnn...

Tuh dia molot adik-adik poaka. Dah la talent recycle... pastu banyak lak molot nak carot orang. Walaupun aku tak nampak masa depan Rina dalam industri muzik tempatan, lagi kabur lagik masa depan Riz ngan perangai diva dia tak jadik.

Seb baik minggu ni operasi nak kuarkan Faisal.
