Konsert Akademi Fantasia 7 - Minggu 8 (Part 2)

First of all... aku takkan review konsert ni. No ulasan sini, ataupon vlog minggu ni.

Overall, I think all the kids did great. Despite being eliminated, Claudia dan Aishah did what is possibly their best performance yet, Hafiz improved to show his actual ability, Yazid and Akim pun da tunjuk taring, while Isma is slowly developing into her element.

Sedih sangat dua sekali kena eliminate, tapi tu la yang orang kena deal with. As for AFMASUK, I want to reming everyone, there's Adila, Rini, Obri, Zizi, Rubisa, Sidi, Qhaud, Aril and now, Claudia and Aishah yang layak. Tunggu je pengumuman cara AFMASUK akan dilakukan. I will let you guys know the mechanism soon.

Plus esok aku as usual bagi lagu tugasan untuk minggu kesembilan. Which from what I've heard is scary sebab bakal meng-stresskan pelajar lagik.

Aku pun stress tak cukup tidur lepak ngan Claudia dan Aishah malam smalam, dari lepas konsert sampai 5 pagik. Was joined by Aril (Obri dan Qhaud away for show), Rosman, Pendos, Nana, Nadia dan Juan.

Anyway, since I'm not giving you guys a review, ni dia aku bagi pics berlambak. As usual... the reminder. And if you guys like the pics, my photographer is Izat. Kalao ada apa event korang nak this very good, freelance professional photographer yang da biasa event besar-besaran ni, sila contact Izat at 013-2259195. Harga negotiable. Jangan pikir mahal cekik darah ok walaopon berkualiti.

Konsert Akademi Fantasia - Minggu 8 (Part 1)

Claudia dan Aishah tersingkir... AFMASUK sudah diumumkan. Korang komen la puas-puas. Jaga adab da. Aku no komen.

For those yang tak sempat tengok the show, here it is...



And for those who missed Diari EXT....

May first!!! Lambang sejati (matilah kau!)

Here we go. Memula aku nak explain something.

Hari ni ada yang tunggu drama sebab baca sinopsis kat website kata ada gaduh sampai kasut, kerusi melayang bagai. Of course, the end cuma ada Hafiz kata ada salah faham ngan Akim.

Ok first of all, orang lain wat sinopsis, bukan direct dari production, so maybe korang expected more to be shown.

There is more footage, but tunggu jerk.

But, for those yang emo kata nak naikkan rating ke haper ke... remember this is a reality TV show. So camna pon - sebagai peminat, aku paham ada yang tak suka drama sebab at this point risau it affects the votes. That's understandable.

But the reality is sometimes, these kids get stressed, and ada je benda berlaku. Just enjoy the show for what it is.

Kalao tak, tak realiti la kan...

Anyway, bab AFUNDI lak aku ngaku memang sesuatuh skang. Up and down je. Aku tengok Aishah, Akim dan Claudia punya fans da mula upkan jumlah AFUNDI meka sebab it's so close to the end, and the top ranked ones like Hafiz, and especially Isma and Yazid are slowly inching.

Buat skang, the pool of votes is so big da sebab ramai mengundi yang it's really frightening. I really have no clue to who is going to go out as places change kejap kejap. Speku leh.. hakikatnya lain. Tengok minggu lepas da cukup.

By the way, tuk recording Diari nih. Nak tengok something tak.

Korang slalu tengok orang baca berita ko penah tertanya tak meka pakai seluar ke apa ke... sebab you only get to see them from waist up. Hah.. tengok Sarimah masa Diari.

Mana kain????


Amik ko! Simple je kat bawah. Mana kain bawah tuh pon tatau. But this is the fun part ngan ada Sarimah kat Akademi ni nak recording. Tension-tension layan pala dia yang ting tong da.

Anyway, hari ni sibuk skali. Bak orang tua aku ke rumah akak yang baru. Nak mulakan proses pemindahan nih ke condo Lanai Kiara kat Mont Kiara.

Besau gedabak umah ni


Yang pentingnya ni home office space aku


Yang penting tuh aku minggu depan busy nak beli apa perlu nak hias rumah, serta mendapat kelengkapan pejabat. Al maklumlah. Da freelance ni nak ada pejabat sendiri. Nak set up business ni pun da lama tertangguh. Akhirnya segalanya mula berjalan. Syukur...

Ok la.. hari ni tak nak borak lama sebab nak gerak ke... Johor Bahru! Yeay! Cuma tak besh nya kena balik esok sebab konsert.

Ok la... have fun guys, dan jangan lupa AFUNDI!


PS - I know it's a bit too late, but Happy Labour Day. Mayfirstttttttttt... lambang sejatiiiiiiii

RIP Nathan

So does today's Diari give you guys an idea of what to expect for Sabtu nih?

I'm not sure how the final outcome will be like, but one thing I can say is everyone is so focused on their performance that it's going to at least, whole hearted.

I mean, it takes weeks and weeks..... and weeks of rehearsals to get things down to a pat for a musical, but bebudak ni have less than five days to get things together for their show onstage to at least give a slice of it.

Based on request, ni status report aku.

Aishah is doing ok, but seeing that the level of competition has been raised, she really needs to up her performance to make up for last week.

Akim lak is so focused that I expect nothing from a good showing by him this week, as do I from Claudia sebab aku nampak she's putting her heart and soul into it.

Isma is trying to get deeper within the character of her song, and setakat ni, aku nampak dia berjaya, though how it will translate to stage is left to be seen. Hafiz is doing well, and I'll bet on a few tears among fans yang moved ngan his rendition.

Yazid masih kayu sikit dari segi penghayatan, as he's not as fluid as the others in terms of expression, tapi he knows that problem he has dan dia masih dealing with it.

Bonus songs is going to be fun though, with Dewa Perang going to be an interesting presentation. Pening sikit bab lagu High School Musical sebab bebudak masih kena betulkan diction banyak tapi disebabkan minggu ni banyak sangat kerja mereka tuk lagu memasing, time is a factor.

Hope no one sings, "What time is eaaaaaatttt!!!"

But despite everyone doubling or tripling their hard work, takde stress ke tension sangat up to now sebab I think bebudak da mula biasakan diri ngan routine that they are just taking it in stride.

Esok aku nak try ke full dress rehearsal, tapi not sure lagik sebab mungkin aku rush ke JB tuk sehari belah malam, so that I can be back by Saturday evening.

That, along with 'moving in' rumah baru esok, it's going to be a bit of a rush, and aku mesti letih gaban nya. So kena tengok camna how my plan goes. Will play by ear.

Oh by the way, sapa missed vlog of the review of the concert last week, ni dia. Kali ni, kerja editing ngan Chedd yang teramat rajin sampai lambat upkan video ni. Matilah ko. Janji cantik presentation la katanya? Oh by the way, kalao tanya sapa dak kecik dalam video tu, tula anak Siti Hajar, si Afif yang dalam Puteri Gunung Ledang as well. Merasalah katanya import talent tuk vlog.



The video above nih in two parts sebab it's actually too long. But layan jerk ek.

Aku nak get some early rest because have to be in the Akademi early tomorrow.

Tapi sempat curi masa tadik layan the final episode of Heroes for the closing episode of Season 3. Nathan Petrelli is dead!!! Damn!



For those who are fans of Heroes, too bad about the no spoiler warning here. Matilah ko! Yang penting, Nathan may have died, but he's still going to be in Season 4. How? Sylar is him. Does that make sense? So Nathan lives in Sylar. Sort of.

Not too impressive of an ending, but not too bad either.

Ok la... nak tidur. Ngantuk sangat da. Nite all...

Awok ke ewok?

Da layan Diari ke? Hari ni is lepak day for me, kerana lepas saja kerja, lepak ngan kengkawan.

Plan nak ke Ikea nak survey some stuff for the house, tapi sampai ngam ngam tutup.

Lepak ngan Juan kat Uptown, and then were joined by some familiar friends. Si Nadia (oops!) along with Obri, Qhaud dan Sidi. Melantak then gerak lepak kat Downtown at Cheras where we were joined by Aril pas dia settle some stuff.

Malas la nak tulis panjang hari ni. Letak pics je la.

Malu konon nak amik pic


Wat biasa je...


Nak sangat amik? Hah!!! Amik ko!!!


Sidi pose maut...katanya... walaupon...


Ler ni perhal ni


Qhaud trying to pose for the cam


Takleh control gelak gak


Pic si awok ni khas buat kakjauhku, peminat tegar Aril (Aril hi hi kat kakjah perasan tak masa chat @15?)


Nak kalahkan saiz biji mata abang beca aka Obri


By the way, to the respective fans, Qhaud dan Obri akan join Gempak Desa in different locations this weekend. Meanwhile, Aril still packed for this week, and Sidi ada family matters lak nak attend to.

Just over two more weeks to go... cam tak caya cepat sangat masa berlalu...

I Dreamed A Dream

Ok firstly aku nak komen sikit pasal all the hatred among fans, and yang overdose maki mencarut bagai. Not anywhere else but here in my Comments section.

Senang nak menyamar bawah nama Anonymous. To all the fan clubs, ignore idiots like that. No matter what fan club you are from - focus your energy on AFUNDI, not battling it with words. Cause no matter what you say, the numbers decide who stays or not.

Sapa nak teruskan hating, silakan je. Kalau da extreme, senang je aku nak trace balik IP and make a police report kalao keadaan terlalu serious. For now aku rilek je sebab da biasa time musim Akademi Fantasia, all the name calling and beautiful bahasa jiwa bangsat akan keluar dari mereka yang emo, atau mengambil kesempatan keadaan.

Be more intelligent, and show some restraint.

Meanwhile, for me, aku tak kisah atau hairan pun apa kutukan mai. Ok jerk. Cam la aku tak biasa stakat stok pengecut nak kuar kata-kata kesat mana pon. Hakikatnya, lagik layan, lagik membosankan. Cause it gets repetitious. It has for the seventh year now, and dah lali.

So nak berkomen kat sini, ignore any idiots yang nak provoke. Sebab memang ramai yang akan suka nak lagakan orang (biasalah... ada yang konon berwibawa pon leh wat camtuh)

So korang mai sini, layan Diari and you know what.. stir up a little drama pon takpe. But kalao nak tunjuk lagak sini nak main wat hal, that's just a sad call for attention, and I understand it must fill up your time to make you feel better. Kind of like validation for your existence.

But to my more intelligent friends yang masuk sini, ignore je.

No matter what fan club you are from, just chill.

Again....

AFUNDI Aishah, AFUNDI Akim, AFUNDI Claudia, AFUNDI Hafiz, AFUNDI Isma, AFUNDI Yazid.

Ok la.. nak tido. Tadik gi megular ngan kengkawan. And we were joined by three beautiful ladies.

Aleya and Aliyah


Hot chicks?


Tengah malam pon rancak nak snappy


Actually da ajak Vee join skali. But Nani and Leya just happened to be there, so they joined up. Faz tak sempat mai cause she claimed Cinderella needed to be back. Matilah lepas tengah malam jadik labu! Larik!

We just chilled and borak, with kak Vee especially on an upcoming project. It's going to be fun.

Things are going in full swing from next week. Tak sabar... lagu tema aku minggu ni is lagu I Dreamed A Dream from Les Misérables. Especially since apa aku impikan selama ni akan jadi kenyataan akhirnya! Yeay!

And sesuai ngan lagu ni sebab tengah meletop thanks to Susan Boyle yang surprised everyone in Britain's Got Talent who personifies talent, need not be recognised by just what's on the outside.

Three standing ovations - and within minutes of after being laughed at. Now that's what real talent does for you.

Ok la... korang seriously kena layan video ni, and trust me, it will move you to tears! Me going off to sleep with this song (from the original soundtrack recording) on repeat. Night...


PS - I need representatives of official fan clubs to contact me ASAP! Wakil dari setiap kelab peminat for Astro production. Please jangan pepandai call kalao tak di pilih sebagai wakil fan club. We need you to represent your fan clubs. Call me at 017-2025900. Jangan pepandai miss call sebab aku tak mungkin kenal sapa ko ek. At least SMS. Thanks!

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.
