Ni some pics aku sempat snappy. Memang tak banyak!
Aku beberapa hari ni serious tak cukup tidur. Keja tak berkurangan gak sebab abih satu, masuk satu. Aduh... rezeki, rezeki gak... tapi pening sapa nak jawab.
Tapi malam tadi memang best sebab pas abih meeting bagai wrap last call at 9.30pm, aku gi lepak ngan kengkawan kat Rasta.
Kali pertama aku rasa geng Rasta ni leh nak dekat kalahkan geng Pelita ngan jumlah yang berkumpul.
Yang pentingnya...
Tuh dia.. sapa nak jawab. Aku maintain merah pink gituh pala (sila abaikan tanda tanda gugur rambut yer... sebab tu rambut berminyak, yang menipis nampak ala nak botak lak - plus pendek ok!) sementara si Rudy dah berbalung ayam!
Merasalah...
Anyways, it was enlightening to learn some things tonight.
All I can say is, let God judge. Sapa la aku nak hukumi tindak tanduk sesetengah manusia yang tak sedar untung. Syukur je atas rezeki apa aku ada, dan pada yang rasa dengki melihat walaopon tak usaha nak capai apa meka nak - aku doakan meka sendiri nampak kesilapan mereka dari terus menyalahkan orang lain.
Takpe...
Apapon.. esok another day. Merasalah.
Apapon... like I said, no review of Diari yer. Geli bijik cita cinta nan hado. Focus cinta katanya... tak perlu. Jadik Akademi Maksiat ek. Heh... tak campo! What it does is show how poyo and berangan some can be. And how retarded too sampai nak tunjuk ngan motor agik. Kowser!
Oh by the way - to all my lovely friends and readers of this blog, wonder if you guys saw this in The Star yesterday?
Recognize anyone? Kalao korang nak tau lebih, just head on over Project Alpha season two. Will blog more about it later, ok. Gotta sleep now...
PS - Korang layan Glee tak malam tadi? Aku da download lom layan... tapi meanwhile... here's the much hyped Vogue video by Sue Sylvester/Jane Lynch
Before anything else... layan the original first.
And then... the Sue! Yeay! Tak sabar aku... next week - The Power of Madonna!
Hari ni nak post some pics from event Alibi Music tadik.
Tapi sibuk sangat, bajet nak wat short entry jer... esok sambung sebab nak tidur. Esok dari pagi again ada benda nak wat, pastuh ada event bagai, termasuk PC tuk AIM akan datang.
Tapi masa wat keja, ngadap laptop, terlayan Diari lak. Camna terlayan? Sebab Astro Ria was on and ulangan was on. Alamak.... heh... Takpe... nak gak tau apa lagu bakal di hancurkan.
And here are the songs.
Lagu tugasan pelajar
MAULANA – Ku Bukan Aku (Tilu) NAD – My Happy Ending (Avril Lavigne) ADIRA – Seri Mersing (Datuk Sharifah Aini) SHAHIR – Anggapanmu (Ziana Zain) AIN – Halo (Beyonce) IWAN – Oh Juwita (Nubhan) DAUS – Benar-Benar (Adam) FARINA – Mana Mungkin (Dayang Nurfaizah)
Lagu bonus Konsert Akademi Fantasia - Kau & Aku (Akim & Mila) Konsert Debaran - Pergi (Aizat)
Tuh dia... banyak lagu yang best bakal dirosakkan... dan lagu azab tambah azab. Bersedia la lagu Halo bakal dihanjkan oleh Ain... dari practise dia dalam Diari pon nangis da screaming senselessly away some random notes that vaguely sound like Halo.
Masih tertanya kenapa kat Debaran nak nyanyi lagu sedih, konon bagi mood. Ertinya someone screwed up la masa semua melompat terkinja-kinja wat Generasi Hebat?
Anyway... saja nak share a few thoughts pas tengok ulangan Diari tadik (tertengok masa wat keja and geram lak rasanya nak gak blog pasal what I saw)
When you start something - with a disclaimer right at the beginning, then seriously... something's wrong.
Sebenarnya aku tak heran langsung kalao Shahir nak dapat lagu Anggapanmu pon.
I mean... people have been doing it for the longest time. That whole gender switcheroo thing. Tak uncommon pon kalao laki nyanyi lagu pompuan dan sebaliknya.
HOWEVER, this has to be done well.
Forget the usual individuality and personal touch needed... you also need a new arrangement that is suitable to the singer in question.
Tapi memandangkan minus one ala ala Audio One karaoke zaman dulu... entahlah... key pon ada yang cam struggle... ni apa agik nak harapkan.
Personalized la orang kata.
Tapi jangan sampai feeling lagu Benar-Benar nak kata di indiekan sebab Daus jiwa indie as said by Norman.
Again people... indie maksudnya INDEPENDENT. Maksudnya seseorang artis tuh indie ialah dia merakam, menerbit dan menjual albumnya atau hasilnya secara independent... maksudnya wat sendiri la. It's DIY - maksudnya Do It Yourself. Takde fancy schamncy recording outfit bagai.
Walaopon the independent scene is more synonymous with rock and it's many variants, takde orangnya di dunia nak kata indie sebagai genre muzik yer. Harap maklum.
There is no such thing.
Indie has many genres... so Norman paham tak bila dia katakan Daus jiwa indie?
Camna la tenaga pengajar pon sendiri keliru soal genre bagai.
Kalao kata dak tuh minat indie pop ke indie rock ke... aku leh tima sebab the variants of the independent scene basically means there is no commercial leanings in its sound.
Yuna is indie cause she did it on her own. Kalao nak katakan betul betul... Aizat is indie cause he got his album up on his own. Najwa pon. Hujan may have been indie when they started.. but now together with Bunkface, meka ni indie crossover. Da masuk mainstream da.
So for the last freaking time - indie bukan genre muzik. Harap maklum! I know this won't be the last I hear of it sebab thanks to uninformed people who rule the music industry with an illusion of knowledge, there are those who believe willingly without doing their own homework.
Jangan diperbodohkan yer.
Muzik India ada... muzik indie... lagu indie... kat Malaysia je bersepah muzik 'indie' sebab orang ingat it's the SOUND. Indie bukan genre. Titik.
Berbuih mulot (ke lebam jari) when I keep stressing indie is not a damn genre.
Lebam agik layan drama buatan.
Aduh... da takde drama dalam Akademi (ke sebab on cameras lambat kol 12 dan off nak kena tepat jam 6 sebab takde overtime bajet kena potong kena create drama - ooops motif aku tau?) - meka wat drama lak.
Baha gi main selongkar hostel bebudak and their personal belongings.
Erm... ada contraband ke? Dadah? Hanpon? Rokok? Terdesak sampai korek tiap keping kertas skalipon...
Ek eleh.. surat cinta ek?
Dari Nad ke Iwan. Ain ke Maulana (kalao tak silap aku dengar la). And Daus and Adira kan? Sesuatuh!
There must be some rules lah... takkan sampai camtuh demi nak carik bahan nak wat drama?
Privacy is privacy! Kalao da bebudak 'selamat' dalam Akademi, jangan sampai their personal space pon ko nak go through camtuh. Ish ish ish.... silly...
And what's with the Ain treasure hunt. Banyak sangat masa kan nak wat spot check nak wat treasure hunt.
And now that stupid talking motorcycles da kena kutuk gila babiks sebab fans semua rasa very the terencat, they're going back to the cameras. Hadiah Ain? feather boas (or at least one with another some sort of cheap tinselly boa) with ribbons and sticky shit. Nak hiaskan kamera lak... siap bagi nama Lulu.
Actually kan.. rewind sikit. Like the ulterior motive.. tujuan sebenar nak feeling hias camera sebab Bebot lahar bodoh tuh dah memang hina, and they want to bring back the cameras as a feature (sila nyanyi... recycle... that's what you do.. recycle... macam semua lagu) - sebenarnya bab spotcheck tuh ada sebab.
Nak dengar (ke baca) spekulasi aku tak.
Camni.
Semua peminat Akademi Fantasia tau.. sepanjang sejarah Akademi Fantasia, kalao ada pasangan bercinta, especially kalao sorang tuh dak ensem ke jambu sikit, yang pompuan mesti tersingkir. Pikir betul-betul... dari musim pertama da camtuh. Memang faktor dalam penyingkiran, especially when the female population forms majority of the voting power (this is obvious to fans).
So, spekulasi aku, terdesak sangat sebenarnya meka nak usir Nad dari Akademi. Selective termination gituh. So secara tak langsung, main sentimen camni, by highlighting the 'relationship' - walaopon sebenarnya nampak ala ala ada tiga pasangan (Shahir dan Farina aje du-uh) tapi fokus kat Nad dan Iwan... rasanya apa akan berlaku?
Dah Norman pon direct bodyslam camtuh... kata patut Nad keluar. Tak pernah ada pengetua yang cakap ada student yang patut kuar camni. Sampai nak bagi nama. Da kalao student gagal - kegagalan sapa? Tukang pilih pelajar?
Ish ish ish.. macam-macam.
So no surprise la kan kalao Nad keluar minggu nih. Memang agenda la. And kalao betol Nad terkeluar kang - leh la meka bagi alasan pengundi yang decide. Padahal kalao ada yang favourite (walaopon kita kat luar nih geli bagai) tersepak keluar, leh sentap mentap bagai camla meka ni talented tahap dewa.
And then comes more cheap drama... konon relationship setengah jalan la.
Are you enjoying this? The production believes so. Yeay!!!
On the plus side, Glee is back!!! Yeay! No need for cheap rip-offs on local TV!
And as you can see from the online promo - Glee is going... MADONNA! Yeay!
And also Lady Gaga! Yeay... can't wait for tomorrow to watch it!
They're on the cover of the new TV Guide where they did a photoshoot to promote the episode where they'll pay tribute to Madonna called - The Power of Madonna. Here's the video below of the photoshoot session. Awesome!!!
Check it out!
The new Glee soundtrack kicks off with a seven song EP from the cast of the remakes of Madonna's songs! Yeay!
Ah... Glee! Can't wait for America's Next Top Model and Project Runway to hurry up with their finale. I want to focus on V (two awesome episodes already in continuation after the break) and GLEE!
As promised, Madonna kept her word for a tribute to Michael in her show for the Sticky & Sweet Tour at the London O2 Arena where Michael was to have performed.
It was simple. It was enough.
A fitting tribute from the Queen of Pop, to the late King of Pop. Icons in music like them will never come about again. Forget your Britney, Mileys, Rihanna, Akon, Usher or whatever teenybopper names you choose.
Madonna and Michael came from a generation of performers, did everything. They were true artistes, using their art as a form of self-expression. Not just money-spinners.
Not since the passing of the late Princess Diana, the Queen of Hearts, will the world see such bluebloods that reign in the hearts of so many around the world, and touch us with their stories, and provide us with the inspiration in 0ur daily lives.
Sedih betul tengok bahagian persembahan Madonna ni. Was waiting for it to be uploaded, and when it came out, was left speechless. One can only wonder what Madonna must have felt... and I can understand if she didn't want to make it more personal.
Beyonce, one of the 'new school' of stars who paid tribute to Michael, gave a more moving tribute. More perhaps for me, because Halo was my most overplayed song last couple of weeks for it's beautiful lyrics... and because Beyonce grew up in a generation where she was inspired by Michael as a lot of us were.
This was her from her performance during a concert in Atlanta as part of the I Am... tour on July 1. There are two versions of fan videos, check them out.
So whether or not Michael is going to be buried in a solid bronze, gold-plated coffin worth US$25,000 with a blue velvet interior and a hand-polished mirror finish is not important. How the memorial on Tuesday will pay tribute to the legend, the King of Pop will...
PS - If anyone is in LA, AEG has said they'll be selling the O2 Arena This Is It tour t shirts. Anyone can get me one for memories...?
Ok.. it's 4am and I still can't sleep. Won't... layan noya sambil Michael Jackson sings in the background. Yeap. I'm still in mourning. Walaopon malam tadik gi dua wedding, orang tanya je kenapa rambut aku da hitam balik (I dyed it back to black), aku kata gi kenduri arwah!
Ok so it's not funny. But then again, it was more fun to talk about Michael, and how great his music was. Seriously kan, I swear I think EVERYONE knows who Michael Jackson is around the world, no matter where you are.
Chatted with Vanessa and Vince about that masa wedding tadik pon. Anyhoo... divert jap since we're on the topic of Michael Jackson.
Came across this video. It's an old practise session recorded in 2007 of how 1,500 inmates of a Filipino prison in Cebu performed the Thriller dance. Word is they're performing the dance again, as a tribute to the family of the late King of Pop, which also includes Ben and We Are The World. Korang layan je video ni. Ni the original video which has been viewed more than 24 million times.
Ignore the rumours that these prisoners were forced to perform. Erm.. prison... remember? Anyway, yang pentingnya, whatever the motives or stories behind it, I think it's a good tribute to the King of Pop.
At least it's not this Indian version of Thriller(this is the original video by buffala on Youtube). Forget the local rip-off version kalao korang penah layan dalam bahasa Melayu nya. Tu ciplak haprak. Ni yang ori yang siap the 'translation' that made this video popular. Apapon, at least it proves a point. Anywhere in the world, Michael rules! Truly the King of Pop!
By the way.. we may not have the King of Pop anymore. But at least the Queen of Pop still lives on! Check this video out at 2:39 where a young Madonna performing Like A Virgin does Thriller!
Eh ok la.. panjang lak aku cita pasal Michael Jackson nih.
PS - Nak update pics Ad Samad dan Dangsuria nya wedding tadik, tapi lain lak jadiknya. Next entry!
Ni entry lari topik sikit. Well not really cause me like fashion loads though I'm not exactly all that on the ball.
Remember aku pernah post about Faz wearing a Chanel ankle purse? Well, that was Karl Lagerfeld's tribute of sorts to Eve and Lindsay Lohan's alcohol monitoring bracelets.
Last year at the Chanel Cruise collection show in Miami, Lagerfeld previewed heels - with guns.
Gun jewelry has always been in the market, but never with heels.
Inspired however, Lagerfeld used guns as inspiration for Chanel's Cruise 2009 collection, with help from Chanel's shoe designer Laurence Decade, who made it into a heel. And of course, towards the end of last year, one of the first to be seen wearing it off the catwalk, was Madonna.
Love the silver version
Lagerfeld and his killing heels
Madonna in the gun heels
And now word is, Chanel in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore have just stocked the gun heels in very, very limited quantities.
Faz and I spent the whole day gabbing about the shoes and whether it's worth shelling out RM7,000 plus for those heels - but mostly on how gorgeous the silver ones are.
Actually, those gimmicky heels are not the first. Balenciaga made a mark on fashion history with their 'Lego' shoes. Dengan harga berbelas ribu Ringgit, the shoes were favourites for the Fall 2007 season.
After the gun heels, there's one more Chanel creation, which actually borders on the tacky side - depending I suppose who wears them.
These are the lighbulb shoes.
A definite novelty/statement shoe, these come with a battery so the bulb will actually light up. Why would you want your heels to light up.
Matilah kan jalan red carpet with your own lighting. But dunno when the lightbulbs are going to be available in this region.
What do you think? Would Faz look good in the gun heels? And which colour? The silver and black ones are available now.
PS - For those who want the gun heels but a cheaper alternatives, here are sone affordable options online. Not as hot as the Chanel ones. And if you think guns are not all that, there's the knuckle dusters as well.
I promised a long entry...so here goes. Banyak sangat isu dan incidents nak sebut dalam entry kali ni lepas 'menyepi' akibat bosan dengan isu yang panas dan kesibukan kerja.
Anyway fast forward sikit after the last entries, Friday night, gi Liquid for the launching of Madonna's latest album Confessions On A Dance Floor (which is released nationwide tomorrow on November 15!!!).
I have to admit to being a huge M (Madonna ah...bukan Mawi) fan, so memang best lah!
Everything was awesome! I mean, I don't know how to mention the album (dah dengar about five songs including the first single Hung Up yang favourite gila babiks besh) without referring to a thesaurus for other alternatives to just fantastic amd awesome.
Apapun, if you haven't heard the first single off the album, Hung Up, go to Madonna.com to not only listen to the audio tapi at the same time tengok video dia sekali! Power! Retro disco circa early 80s is back in vogue with a vengeance! Yang pentingnya aku ari ni gak nak kuar beli, malas nak tunggu complimentary copy dari Warner Music. I only buy stuff aku bebetul gila minat (Smashing Pumpkins is the only other act aku commit to buying without even listening to ascertain how it is).
Lepas event, keluar dengan member wartawan lain ke City Garden tuk makan. Jemput adik angkat aku dari Melaka tuk join.
Lepas tu balik tidur mati sebab tiga hari tak cukup tidur punya pasal. Pagi esok nya kena jaga awal lak. Nak hantar adik ke Puduraya sebab dia nak balik Melaka awal because of last minute meeting.
Pikir nak balik sambung tidur, but decided against that and forced myself to do something I've wanted to watch a movie on my own.
Tengok wayang sorang diri ni kekadang best sebab I get to really evaluate a film without bloody commentary dari kiri kanan aku.
Problem is, aku tengah nak enjoy The Exorcism of Emily Rose, the irritating habit of Malaysian cinemagoers tested my patience enough. Dengan deringan handphone, loud whispered conversations, couple minah tudung dan rempit yang beromen belakang aku sambil berbunyi "slurp! slurp!" indusing images of drooling menggangu my concentration.
At the end of the movie masa nak keluar, terserempak dengan seorang blogger, Mimirinie yang lum pernah aku jumpa, tapi dia tegur sebab dia cam. Kebetulan memang dah rancang jumpa Juan tuk window shopping so it was great we all got to meet up. Lepak punya lepak sampai malam, we went to Naili's to be later joined by anggota Bloggers United lain like Sultan Muzaffar dan Badrul (Congratulations ek my best friend on the new job position!). Also joining us were Fiebie dan Leez. Also ada tamu jemputan lain tapi takleh sebut sebab nanti undang agi debate kat comments column.
Sorry ler elkapitan sebab dengar ko ada exam, so tak invite...jangan marah ek. Ko baby of Bloggers United so semua kena protective sikit! (Kelentong je...sebenarnya malas nak tunggu warga Subang Jaya sampai entah kul brapa)
Hung out till late...aku balik dalam perjalanan ingat ikut ler highway NKVE balik ke Klang. Time lalu Damansara, singgah stesen Caltex dekat kawasan IBM, parking tidur. Sedar-sedar dah pukul 9 pagi!!!
Huh! Panik aku...mula-mula tak ingat aku kat mana. Ingat dah sampai Klang (camna leh sampai ler...tak logik.Tidur tak sedar keta leh gerak sendiri ke). But when I realised I was still in Damansara, zoom balik Klang. Sebab dah janji kul 10 pagi kat Astro nak ikut ke rumah pemenang AFRAYA beraya bersama Mawi, Felix dan Amylea.
Balik rumah, mandi, sempat sarapan sikit, gegas terus ke Astro. Bas terus gerak. Rupanya semua tunggu aku. Si Mawi missing in action sebab dengar flight dia land 10.30 pagi.
Khabarnya he will join us only kat highway.
Dalam bas, cerita ler panjang ngan Amylea, because I never really got a chance to talk to her much before this.
Kalau betul-betul heart to heart talk, only masa Coke punya event dulu kat Carcosa Seri Negara je sempat bual.
Banyak ler isu peribadi di discusskan...and I'm proud of Amylea if nothing else because she really is a strong woman.
Celah-celah tu, si Felix yang dok belakang aku kena usik tak habis-habis. Mana taknya...sibuk SMS je kerja! Siapa lagi ler...kalau bukan A (bukan nama sebenar). Spekulasi je....Felix bukan nak ngaku (podah lah!)
Usik-usik, kecoh-kecoh...tengok-tengok dah sampai balik kat 'kampung halamanku' di Klang. Kami stop kat tepi highway Shapadu nak gi Meru/Kapar. Lepas kejap, si Mawi pun tiba dalam keta si Apis.
Seronok gak trip dalam bas tu. Bukan apa....paham aje lah, aku nama je dok Klang, tapi sebab kesibukan kerja manjang, dah banyak lose contact aku ngan kawan-kawan yang dok Klang, kecuali ler yang jenis lepak KL manjang cam aku.
Lalu Pekan Meru rasa nostalgic lak sebab dulu port lepak sana gak dekat rumah member time study.
Aku jadi tourist guide ler dalam bas because of my familiarity throughout the route.
Sampai je tempat yang kami tuju, terkejut kami semua dalam bas, yang termasuk beberapa orang wartawan lain sekali ngan orang Astro dan production crew Trek Selebriti (ye...Jimmy Shanley pun ada).
Sampai semua terbangun dari tempat duduk memasing nak intai luar tingkap in total disbelief! Mana taknya, jalan nak masuk area kampung, tapi ada Rela dok jaga.
Masuk dalam 100 meter kami semua da pening. Ingat gi beraya rumah orang dalam diam, tengok-tengok cam pergi kenduri! Satu kampung hadirkan diri. Paluan kompang mengiringi kemasukan je yang tak ada!
Pemenang AFRAYA (hah...nama dia Azean - mesti korang da tau...glamer dia masuk semua paper ari ni) kata meka tak jemput, tapi sebab orang da tau semua wat muka tembok mai serang rumah dia.
Bukan apa...kesian gak...'hadiah' dia terpaksa dikongsi. Dahler dia wat makan untuk 50 orang tapi tengok dekat 1,000 orang yang hadir (uninvited).
Bawah panas terik matahari, kami semua pun masuk ler kawasan rumah family Azean ni. Pengalaman yang kelakar ialah bila lepas Azean diperkenalkan pada Mawi, Felix dan Amylea, she later turned to be and asked, "klubbkidd ek??"
Lor...rupanya si Azean ni kaki rayap kat blog, termasuk ke blog Sultan Muzaffar dan Juan.
Dalam pening sebab dah lah panas, sesak...meriah gak sebenarnya - walaupun sakit hati sikit lah sebab orang lain seperti tak menghormati hak si Azean ni nak enjoy beraya ngan bebudak Akademi Fantasia yang datang.
Hello?
She IS the winner...not you guys...bagi lah dia chance. Ni tak...sebelum dan selepas event wat meet the fans nak sign autograph la...nak pose gambar ngan anak kecik masing-masing lah (which for me is pretty disgusting when you have ugly babies or they look like they haven't been changed or bathed - not all babies are cute ok!)
Sebab mereka semua ni mengambil ruang sangat, dan demand sangat sampai bebudak ni yang tak makan breakfast ni nak bernafas pun takleh, maka it was suggested that we move the session masuk rumah family Azean ni. At least, leh la Azean ni dapat spend time ler ngan meka together with her family members. Private time laa katakan...tapi tu pun ada yang menyemak muka tembok masuk selamba badak.
Yang aku sakit ati tu, bangsa fans yang tak hormat ni, sampai dah lah not only trespassing, mereka insist meka ni dapat layanan tip top.
Dari pemerhatian aku, kurang masa Mawi, Felix dan Amylea habiskan with Azean and family than they could because of these people.
Last-last bila pengacau-pengacau dah berjaya dihalau keluar cara terhormat oleh Rela dan security Astro, dan shooting tuk Trek Selebriti dah settle, kami semua dok bersila ler makan.
Malu gak...sebab baru paham rasanya keadaan mereka bila nak dok makan, orang lain tanak makan tengok je ko makan. Segan!
Lepas makan, sesi mencari tisu!
Peluh sebab panas...ramai sangat bersesak masuk rumah sampai menjadikan the house macam oven.
Toleh tengok budak-budak tu, lum lagi habis makan.
Camna nak habis makan, kejap-kejap ada je yang nak ambil gambar lah...nak tu lah nak ni lah.
Memang tak salah makcik, pakcik, akak, abang, adik oi....tapi biarlah budak-budak tu yang dari pagi tak makan...tak elok wat camtu tau! Azean camna pun sporting gila aku tengok. Majlis dia kena invade pun dia relax je (very the independant woman!)
After the kids were done, meka lepak jap (suka shot Amylea kacau Felix - tapi jangan pikir yang bukan-bukan ek!) before again they went out layan peminat skali lagi ngan sesi autograph dan amik pics.
So more smelly babies shoved about and sweating women yang make-up empat inci giggling away.
Apapun, as we boarded the bus, I have to say, congrats again Azean...and sebab ko pembaca blog aku...dan sebab ko sporting gila walaupun majlis ko kena ceroboh pun ko tak merungut...ni tribute aku kat ko.
So after all that excitement, semua KO dalam bas. But not before we realised ada peminat mengekori bas (haiyo! amik gambar bontot bas pun jadi ke)
Bila da sampai Astro, tengok si Jimmy KO abih! Hah! tengok lah Trek Selebriti to see what happened! Kesian Jimmy jadi mangsa...(gelak sat)
Anyway...aku nak end this entry with a few thoughts.
Blogs - Kebebasan bersuara semakin dipertikaikan. Bloggers seperti kami di caci, hamun, perli dan maki bila tidak memerikan pendapat yang tally with that of the popular concensus. Please, again, remember...we are just saying what we feel and based on what WE know. Kalau nak katakan orang mengfitnah ataupun mempunyai agenda, that is YOUR prerogative, so tak payah lah nak bangkang sampai meroyan. Whether or not you are influenced by what we say - you do not have to sink as low as indulge in personal attacks. That really takes the credibility of your arguments - especially when stakat name calling. Comment....as you wish. But remember proper and simple courtesies of being in someone else's domain. You do not have to agree, but you do have to respect.
Capitalising - Ada beberapa blogs yang da take advantage of that situation. May I remind you guys that blogs reflect opinions. And ada satu blog ni, nak gila glamer punya pasal, amik kesempatan isu ni tuk kutuk je sesapa. Yerlah...tukang jawap ramai kan. So dia harapkan kot market ni masuk blog dia yang sebegitu lama tak laku...mana tak nya setiap posting ada je kutuk seseorang atau sesuatu!
Because of these people. I feel proud of Bloggers United. Memang, kadang-kadang kami membuat statement panas...but we don't do it endlessly nak gila glamer ke apa ke... And at least...pembaca tahu dan kenali rupa kami, nama kami dan pekerjaan kami serta lebih lagi butiran peribadi kami. This is because WE take responsibility for what we write!
Emotional - Kenapa ramai sangat yang melatah. Kalau aku menyindir sekalipun, siapa yang lebih-lebih kalau bukan tukang komen yang membedal je kerja without any substance to their posting. Mawi ok je ngan aku. Aku pun kalau kritik atau komen dia, bukan dia tak tahu. In other words, we're professional. Yang fanatik dan taksub yang emo je yang terasa lebih! Kami tegur menegur walaupun kekadang kasar seperti adik beradik. Yang nak melatah tanpa tahu hal sebenar tu kenapa?
Choice - Sekasar separuh comments aku terima, I can accept almost all, even from the likes of guracus and REM who both have different approaches. I may not accept or agree with these comments but if they're made without personal attacks or a basic respect for being in my blog, I am ok with it. Untilmately, sila ingat ni ye, kalau tak setuju dengan pendapat saya sampai tahap kiritikal, then leave. Tak payah masuk, kutuk, tapi tetap dalam menghina, nak juga baca atau curi gambar dari sini. Cakap lebih, tapi in the end, still depend on my blog for information, But wait a minute, if you already don't like it, da rasa buruk sangat...tak yah lah masuk ek...I AM SELF INDULGENT! THIS IS MY BLOG!
Debate - Kalau ada isu yang naik seperti isu Mawi baru-baru ni, please be intelligent in commenting about it. Malas nak layan komen-komen yang not fact based but emotionally driven While I welcome feedback and all, sampai satu tahap, aku rasa kalau da melalut sangat emo komen, senang je takyah feedback, which is something I hope will not happen because I do love reading the more intelligent (though at times unagreeable) comments to my postings.
Ok lah...panjang lebar da posting aku. Apapun, ingat je.
Kalau korang tak puas hati dengan komen aku pun, segala tulisan di sini, I have taken responsilibity for, so those cynical have NO capacity to question or judge me. The parties involved in my comments, the individuals who become the focus of my postings are very well aware of what I have to say - and I don't see why total strangers need to menyibuk nak judge people.
Yes, I am judgemental to an extent in my blog. But at least I'm honest, and not hiding behind anonymity. Why is that important?
Because again...I take responsibility for everything in my blog. Apapun, aku tetap sayang keluarga Fantasia. But because kami tak mempunyai pertalian darah like family members, I too can put a boundary seperti abang Burn, president Mawi FC katakan, iaitu, 'SELAGI berada di landasan yang betul'.
There is nothing wrong with that statement and I think people yang tak setuju kata-kata tu, memang sudah lama membutakan dan memekakkan diri to all reason.
"Kami tak gaduh kan?" Siapa nak lagakan? Kenapa ada yang nak komen lelebih sedangkan tak ada kena mengena dan tak tahu menahu pasal apa yang berlaku among the parties actually involved.
