Happy birthday Umie!

On heavy medication so tengah lalok semacam. Rasa cam terbang pon yer. Merasalah takyah feeling nak pill bagai, tetap leh melayang... hanya perlu demam, selsema, batuk dan sebagainya, gi doktor for medication ala ala da merasa cam stone da katanya.

I had so much medication, I seriously feel like I'm tripping!

Apapon, setelah konsep bertapa kat umah lebih kurang 48 jam, and getting over the worst of my fever, flu and cough plus plus, smalam keluar gak, penuhi jemputan Umie Aida nak meraikan birthday dia kat rumah kak Erma.

Actually birthday besok, tapi kira a few hours early la.

Also secara sahnya, perkenalan 'abang' Umie nih yang pemalu. Segala detail pernikahan mereka more or less rahsia lagi, tapi memang akan diadakan diluar negara dalam masa yang terdekat (no dates diberitahu - and tidak menafikan di Tanah Suci)

And sudah tentu, trend nak tanya apa hadiah harijadi from yang tersayang mesti ada - jawapannya dengan malu abang bagitau it has something to do with health and beauty. Dengan sebuah pusat kat Mont Kiara. Tapi takde la sampai beli spa sebijik. Treatments kot... tapi tatau lebih mendalam.

It was a nice gathering yang tak terlalu ramai, thanks yer Umie for inviting. Paling suka dia nih direct invitation.

Tapi dalam keadaan 'lalok' aku pas berubat bagai semalam, lupa lak bawak camera, so ni pakai handphone je la sempat nak rakamkan some pics.

Nampak kebahagiaan terserlah gituh. Lama da Umie ni independant woman, so it's nice to see her finally with someone. And dia nih da seri da naik.. very the rupa bakal pengantin. Heh!

Eh ok la.. esok je melalut lagik. Tengah ting tong lagik nih...

PS - Pas abih event nak tengah malam da nih, sempat ke Pelita Bangsar jumpa kengkawan jap. Sana serempak Zul dan Isma borak jap. Pastuh lak serempak bebudak Pesawat yang baru menang dua award kat VIMA for Song Of The Year for Excuse Me and Best Freaking Act which is the result of poll by bands for bands.

Last year's winner, Altimet for Song Of The Year with Chantek pon ada, tak perasan lak, bro sebab balik umah awal pagi da bagun baru prasan ko Tweet aku! Sorry! Anyway, congrats to Pesawat yang akan berangkat ke UK selama 10 hari nak tour London, Manchester and Liverpool (yang da confirm location so far) with Couple. Rock the UK, guys.

Shout!

Damn! I slept at only 6am this morning, and bangun kol 5 petang! Amik ko! Sebelas jam hibernasi!

Semalam gi Shout!. Erm... it was ok. Too loud - and no, I'm not too old. I've been to all the MTV Awards (except the last one) and survived concerts like Avril and Slipknot, and even Westlife, so I doubt I'm past screaming crowds or audio systems pumping inhuman levels of sound.

But ada je yag tak kena. It was good, and also bad. How do you describe it... Just definitely not worth having to go through the jam with the Manchester United training going on next door.




It's like a great performance for Jac, baru nak emo in rememberance of Michael, and then you had Reefa bounce out disrupting the whole feel of things. Like... WTF???!!!

It was like everyone buying into the hype of Bunkface (respect to them - idop budak Klang... orang kampung aku tuh!) but turning zombified masa Estranged put on one of the best performances of the night.

Basically - a potentially good event, but riddled with many WTF moments.

Pesawat were the real hit of the night, but kenapa la ada orang lonjat lonjat jerit jerit sebelom tuh. Tak perlu sangat!

Tak bother sangat. In fact, caught the show, while spending a lot of time with Gaya, Afdlin and Mamat Khalid and their wives apart from other friends who were left blurred out by a lot of what went on that night.

In fact had more fun when Upin and Ipin menang award... boleh? One of the highlights for sure?



Sean Kingston? Overrated, oversweaty, overmiming and just plain overweight. Period. Nyanyi pon tak setakat YEAHHH YEAHHH and uhmmm... and one or two more lines on top of the CD. Bosan nak mampos! So much for the closing act.

Sapa agik yang ok ek. The performers worthy of a mention were Bunkface, Nikki (though Shila was a WTF moment), One Buck Short, Joe Flizzow.. and a few more. Caprice and a few others would do good to learn how not to just randomly shout into a mic. Oh well...

The crowd? Let's not even go there.

Layan je la pics. By the way, if you guys dulu ada baca pasal these Chanel gun heels I so loved (and convinced Faz to get them, here she is wearing them to the first public event in Malaysia they've been seen in. Don't know if she's the first person in the country to have these shoes, but berani cakap she is the first to have them in all three colours, epecially these black and whites.

Heel-ing power


Ngan adik dia Jojo.

Aku bangga kata dia the first int he country to wear these black and white Lagerfeld creations. READ HERE n my posting in January masa aku naik gila pasal kasut nih. And here's Madonna wearing her end of last year.



By the way, the ones Faz are wearing are the limited edition ones, unlike the more common black and silver versions.

Ok, now on to the rest of the pics.

The Chong family - no Vince but with younger bro


Datuk Sheila Majid


Yellow fever! Nikki after performance


Hot chicks Faz and Marsha


The Pesawat boys were so in demand last night - motif AirAsia punya topi? Part time job ke sebenarnya? Matilah!



Cheryl looking sweet


Shidi bak beg tuh sesuatuh sangat!


Sebenarnya pegang beg bini tuh


Joe's got Flava


The Estranged family


And the last picture I have is this. When you take a look at it, just tell me, what the hell is wrong with this picture??!!!



Yes, that's Jehan. In a hat that defies all logic or reason for being worn. Doubt his bad hair day could have been that bad sampai pakai camtuh.

Oh well... ok la... nak sambung hibernasi. Flu getting better now...


PS - Thanks Muckcheek @ Yasmin for the serunding. Sweetest birthday present I've had in a longtime. Tak penah orang Poslaju aku serunding within a day before. And the card from you and the rest of the family was such a beautiful thought too. Hugs to all of you for it!

PPS - Dapat berita dari Syuib on the World Championship of Performing Arts in Los Angeles. Malaysians masih teruskan saingan dalam final. Dilla, Wilson and Iza made it to the finals of all the modelling categories, while Artistana Group made it to the finals of the dance category.

In vocals, Bob, Sarah Raisuddin, Hasmidar made it into one solo, and two duet categories for the finals. More info as news comes in. Malaysia boleh! KEPITA boleh! Heh!
