The number 4 is good today

Have you ever wondered why you feel better after you cry?

Here's a stupid theory I have ler.

You know when you hurt... and you hold back the tears and it hursta all the more? I think it's the chemical composition in our tears. After all kalau it tastes salty when it comes out, imagine how it feels inside us. Kan?

Silly... but a little bit of non-sense to make sense of things.

Yeap... it's THAT time... and what better thing nak layan then to catch a soppy heart breaking tear-jerking movie.

Earlier gi tengok filem Heart together with the whole group of abang Badrul, Fiebie, Radz, Wanie, Gina kat Bukit Rajah di Klang sebab that was nearest place to catch it.

Tengah off ni... lega pala sikit nak wat benda nak beriadah ni kan....

So we assembled for dinner.

On the way to meet them, got some positive news from Zaibo yang mintak tolong for a job tomorrow night. PR light light dapat RM400 for just two hours to entertain delegates from Disney Channel yang conference kat KL ni. Ok ler tuh... duit masyuk tuh yang penting kan?

Met up with the gang for dinner, sans Radz, who we met later. Merasalah kami makan kat tempat sama yang ada sign WASHING MACHING tuh... tapi benda tuh da remove. Matilah rupanya tokei kedai pun pembaca blog katanya terus malu remove benda tuh.

Sampai kat TGV pusing sat sebelum jumpa Radz... problem lak surface. dia beli lima tiket je akibat Fiebie the keji kata lima... obviously sebab not counting Radz kan. Aku PR sikit-sikit dapat one more tiket... seb baik. Binatang punya TGV... flash SOLD OUT tapi rupanya ada ler lima enam tiket still available.

Masuk panggung lak... terus start. Yeay!!! Takyah layan iklan-iklan memeningkan.
Problem lak lagi... lampu tak padam-padam.

Aku kuar nak complain je... terus pekerja dia cakap, "dah bang... orang da mausk nak settle kan."

Binatang ko... aku tunggu first ten minutes tak padam padam pon lampu. By the way... soalan cepumas. I don't know samaada kat Bukit Rajah punya TGV or everywhere... tapi aku dok Row H...pusing-pusing tak jumpa. Bebudak semua dok Row J which means two rows behind me. Tapi selang one row lak is G. Rupanya takde row I. Camna tuh?

Whatever... carried on with the movie. A little cliche. Like abang Badrul said (keji tengok kali kedua sebab semalam dia da tengok dulu, siap amik nota lines from the movie), the movie is a little cliched, tapi kalao ko love teary movies... this is it lah.

Aku takder ler feel sangat. Just a couple of scenes involving Nirina Zubir yang membawa watak Rachel.

Camna laaa aku nak feel. Bebudak lain pun geram... mana taknya. Movie baru pick up nak start emo jer, Gina dapat panggilan. Dia lak jenis tak cover line. Phone dah ler tak silent. Tunggu lama-lama, dia leh perhatikan screen tengok sapa call, then only jawab. Dahler dengan kuar, "HELLO?" lak.... mak aii.... agak-agak ler. Ayak...

Abang Badrul lak complain pasal dia dah ler tak follow movie, minum Coke ala ala pakai megaphone SLURPP!!! sekuat alam. Makan popcorn pom toleh kiri kanan pose tengok orang nangih.

Seb baik aku dok row bawah... matilah keji tol pentingkan diri sendiri!

Aku tertidur celah movie tuh sebab lengthy sangat. But I think it was only for only a short while je cause I didn't seem to miss anything.

Won't give anything away, but I think I've seen a similar storyline before... so it was rather predictable. But at the end, ada ler leleh light light airmata sikit.

Trust me... if you're the type who loves to feel like you're the victim... you'll love Nirina Zubir in this. Adik adik especially akan emo ler feeling sanggup korban segakanya untuk lelaki (matilah the story of Fiebie's life!)

Decent ler... is it worth a watch? Yes. Would I watch it again? No! Especially kalao Gina ikut... (matilah Gina tengah baca ni sambil aku type sambil gelak sinis)

Nothing much to say for today.

But I remembered something I forgot to share.

Last week, Akademi Industri Muzik adakan forum tuk members Akademi. Aku dapat panggilan dari Man Bangla dari Maestro. Sampai je Hotel Vistana, nampak semua ada kat sana... dia and sifu, abang M. Nasir... Farihin...abang Ali Bakar...we were later joined by Loloq.

Merasalah puak antagonist. Banyak isu keluar dan diperbincangkan. Panas gak ler. Daripada syarat kelayakan lapan lagu atau 40 minit untuk layak sebagai album penuh... kemasukan artis asing... etc.

Walaupun kekadang panas, dan sampai naik baran sikit, the proceedings for the evening were kinda ok I guess. Much will be brought before the Akademi meeting later to be discussed. At least that's some sign of positivity.

Sedihnya, aku rasa dalam 40 orang je hadir forum tuh tuk ketengahkan masaalah industri muzik. Tu laa orang industri kita... kecoh-kecoh tapi time meeting semua malas. Lum agik pengkritik bebas syok sendiri yang tatau apa apa pasal benda ni sebab pandai komen melepas tanpa tau apa apa tapi nak jadik member of the Akademi pun tak.

But the best thing has to be this.

Pada mereka yang follow tulisan aku, samaada dalam ruangan aku in the paper, or in my blog. you would know sebab komen-komen pedas aku, buat kali pertama nya dalam sejarah, ada ahli media kena ban. Not only my publication, tapi aku kena ban secara peribadi, making it the first AIM sejak 1996 aku tak hadir.

Baca balik my previous entry time tuh... you'd know how I felt at that time.

But the thing aku happy nak share is that isu tu di bangkitkan.

And kata putusnya pas aku bentangkan fakta kes isu aku...with Mr Manager sebagai saksi sebab hadir gak kat meeting tuh... Sandy Monteiro, chairman of RIM atau Recording Industry of Malaysia minta maap bagik pihak badan tuh as well as the Akademi diatas kesilapan dan keterlanjuran mereka.

That means, I just got an apology, bukan sekali tapi tiga kali dari industri muzik Malaysia.
It's not the apology so much that makes me happy... but the fact that dalam time camni mana industri kami memerlukan kerjasama tuk masa depan industri ni yang main tenat, everyone is willing to pull together to work for the betterment of the music industry.

So my war with them is over. The hatchet is buried and it's time to rebuild the industry. Aku hari tuh nak cita tapi tak sempat... ni dalam browse balik entries lepas baru perasan aku tak kongsikan berita tuh.

Anyone caught Rockstar : Supernova?

I love Toby's original in Throw It Away (bab oh-oh...oh-oh-oh-oh!!!) but I still standby Dilana as my favourite and Lukas (Fix You was so emo I loved it! Headspin, his original was decent too) as my second choice.Dilana especially lah... she rocks and fits Supernova to a T.

Roxanne was so in the Dilana trademark even though mula-mula house band cam tak suka. Supersoul was ok... but I think she simply deserves to win because she rocks wilder than the boys. Can't wait for the results show...

I voted puas-puas... for Dilana... but I don't know whether it'll make a difference.

Since it's Wednesday of course TV selain daripada tune into Rockstar : Supernova, Ejen 016 pun jadik tumpuan with tonight's cameo Waheeda.

Aku posting pasal cameo ni tapi again blogdrive wat hal. Keji!

The most important thing is I'm starting to wonder, apart from the flashy Lotus Elise used in Ejen 016... where can I get that ejen pun jumpsuit yang black with the yellow stripe.

Very the Bruce Lee reverse (yang yellow with black). Snazzy... tapi kalao aku pakai harus ler kena gelaran keledek kentang (keji diri sendiri sebelom orang lain keji aku sebab tak sedar diri)

Sad the series is coming to a close soon... wonder ada tak kemungkinan meka extend it another season.
Merasalah nak tengok cameo lebih. I think that's what spices up the show compared to a lot of local TV series yang on sekarang.

Away from TV. plan esok kena gi Astro sebab tak sempat ari ni with a snap meeting petang tadi. That's RM500 (I think) coming my way. Hopefully tomorrow's thing with Zaibo goes well and that's another RM400. Hah... lebih dari cukup upgrade sound system lagik power with my LCD screen (berangan...)

Tak sentap sangat kalau stuck in the jam kat celah bandar as always. Nak cuci mata pun somehow my car always stops at the wrong kind of people to view... you know the sort that you wished your car was actually speeding so you didn't have to see their faces.

Tomorrow night - ad adestinati Cuti-Cuti Malaysia. But no idea where lagik sebab antara utara (kalau abang Bad serious) or ke selatan sikit sendirian nak enjoy the remainder of my leave.

Much to do tomorrow actually, tapi feleing lazy as always I do on leave.

Sorry ler sapa tunggu more pics of Anugerah ERA. Tak sempat aku nak korek card reader aku entah kat celah mana. Nanti aku upload secepat mungkin ek.\

Yeay!!! Caramu NUMBER ONE again!!! Empat minggu berturut-turut dok nombor satu sejak tercalon! Keep it up guys! Keep voting it by clicking HERE!

Lihatlah...di sebalik...

Aku mintak ampun sekali lagi pada semua for not updating my blog for the past few days. It's been absolutely HECTIC ngan preparation untuk Anugerah ERA sebab kes nak handle tuh nih kan.

After all, this is all for my future too... so... no details on that here.

Apapun, banyak sangat sebenarnya aku nak ceritakan, tapi aku start out slow slow ler ek, sebab kalau aku start gushing out everything, I'm just going to lose focus of what I what to share.

Let's see... Wednesday dan Thursday memang antara selit between work and also running for rehearsals untuk persiapan Ning, Nikki dan Yanie untuk lagu Drama. Tidur memang tak cukup sebab nak pastikan Hatta siapkan baju segalanya. Seb baik ada back-up orang gila untuk bergilir shift ngan aku tuk pastikan bebudak tuh wat keja (keji tau korang...cuba hardworking sikit!... takyah aku jadik gila sekali)

Practices went well, and aku tak nyesal pujuk the native from Harlem tuk amik Boboy jadik choreographer, walaupun memula ada ler gak risau pasal soal commitment.

Terharu hari tu bila Haziq call... mula mula tatau dia sebab Private Number flashing kat skrin of my Nokia. Tengok tengok dia yang call. Merasalah angkat seronok lak aku sebab tak jumpa sejak Konsert Reunion. Eh... merasalah kena marah sebab tak keep in touch. Keji tau... aku bukan artis taulah... tapi aku pun sibuk banyak keja. Rupanya dia da kat Muar sibuk nak prepare Marhaban.

Thanks Haziq for thinking of me and being a friend. And for finally nak add aku kat myspace ko... keji tunggu bertahun nak mesej and add me. Dah approve dah pun.

Moving on, kalau you guys loved Drama... it was the work of non-professionals... for the moment. It was different because of the creativity each party brought in. And I congratulate the team sebab managed to help out with conceptualization, make-up, hair, wardrobe and choreography.

That's what the music industry needs... new blood... fresh enthusiasm and an infusion of creativity.

And an artiste like Ning Baizura is what the industry needs too. Someone yang berani mencuba something different and experimement with changes and makeovers.

Pada sapa yang terkejut aku terlibat dalam persiapan Drama, then you really don't know me.

Unlike some who play critic (especially yang tak bertauliah tapi perasan enough to think they're qualified to make it a day job because they can string two words together), I believe in creating as well. The process of creation will aloow you to lebih faham what it takes in the process of producting something.

And every step of the way, the adrenaline rush of helping put together Drama was something that I would love to do more regularly... and given time, it will soon become a reality.
Thursday ler start gi Stadium Putra, sebab kena choreograph ikut stage. Yerlah step camna pun, kena sesuaikan with the layout of the stage. Banyak yang tak kena ngan production... lighting cam $%^&*... tu lum agik sebut pasal yang cordless mic packs tuh yang tak disiapkan lagik.

Friday didn't make things much better cause dah pasang-pasang headset semua, hanya suara Ning saja ada. Lighting cam pasang lampu suluh and aim ala Blair Witch Project. Keji sangat!

Tapi hari tu something special happened. And most of you should read about this.

Aku selalu talk about fanaticism among people who idolise certain artistes, and some people yang gila glamer ni... tak dapat dikesan punya.

And in my case, ada ler binatang keji ni, membuat memacam ler 'berita' mengenai aku dan Faizal, konon Faizal keji kutuk aku tuh nih.... aku pun ok jer. Bukan cam orang tuh yang terkejar-kejar nak mintak perhatian bebudak Akademi Fantasia, aku wat biasa je.

Sampai terserempak ngan Faizal backstage kat tempat makan, area loading bay.. Dia tegur, aku buat tak dengar mula-mula. Last-last dia datang belakang aku, patted me on the back and tegur. So we talked... and talked.

I spent about more than half an hour ngan dia alone talking. Pasal apa? Mengenai binatang keji gila glamer yang baru nak melangkah dalam industri ni tapi tatau per per pun.

Yerlaa... tau ler kalao ko taste ngan Faizal tuh, jangan ler keji menyampai ngata tuh nih, hanya sebab dengki orang tuh ok ngan aku. Bodohkan diri sendiri jer at the end of the day....

Faizal sumpah ngan aku tak penah cakap seperti yang disampaikan yang berupa orang tapi perangai cam anak ungka yang mampus blog tuh, malah bila sebut nama anak haram yang pembawa mulot tuh, pun dia tak dapat cam. Kena tunjuk muka tenuk tuh baru Faizal kenal kot...walaupun binatang molot poaka tak sedar diri ni feeling kat blog dia yang dia nih star beramah mesra pelbagai ngan bebudak ni. What a joke!

Sedih ler sometimes how delusional some people get when they're star struck and try and weasel their way into the limelight. You're nobody...so get used to it.

Faizal pun cakap ler... patut ler aku tak keep in touch ngan dia seminggu ni... tak SMS atau call.

Aku pun kata yerlah... what for ler kan. Selagi lum bersemuka and talk, biar jer lah... malas nanti cita dipanjangkan. Aduh... dia lak kecik ati ngan aku, kata aku sanggup percaya semua cita karut ni. Bukan kes caya ke tak... tapi aku jenis bukan heran pun bab nak tergilakan nak kawan orang. If the person proves so, ok jer... kan?

At least finally the truth comes out. Amik ko... tunggu tindakan seterusnya. Every action has an equal reaction. Tapi in my case like I always say... mess with me.. memang mengundang malapetaka. And trust me, it's coming. Already you say no social life and no friends, feeling nak gi post party pun takde orang nak dekat ko sampai nak menyendeng kengkawan aku... how pathetic.

And you wonder why you don't have a social life and no one invites you for anything? (Matilah except kalau ada function feeling-feeling dia blogger star nak gi mabuk pree)

Well, at least hati aku senang Faizal mintak maap, walaupun bukan salah dia, but he just didn't want me to be upset about the whole incident. I wasn't really.. amused ler. But Faizal camner pun promise, friends tetap friends. Spent most of the free time at rehearsal (which wasn't much after that) nak talk to him about a lot of things.

First time aku nampak Faizal marah bila bercerita pasal molot binatang sorang ni yang 'minat' sampai takleh tengok orang lain rapat. Dia sampai nak confront dua nama yang terlibat dalam kes ni, tapi aku pun cakap lantak ler...dia pun artis, kena belajar supaya jangan cepat melatah molot poaka orang. So biarkan jer ler lobang taik yang bernama molot tuh tetap wat apa ia nak... kan? Kita tunggu je pembalasannya.

He insisted a few times, and then later chilled on that and we changed the subject and laughed a bit about this and that. Perbualan diselitkan kemunculan Diddy yang dok perli aku pasal RAHSIA aku, as well as abang Badrul. Don't worry Faizal.. apapun aku support korang semua.

Merasalah kesibukan kemudiannya take over sampai tak sedar dah tengah malam.

Yerlah, selain drama tuh, ada lak aku hampir ngamuk ngan sorang binatang yang bertanggungjawab for those ugly outfits we all love to hate.

Ada hati tapi tak berani... nak halau aku dari backstage sebab kata aku merempuh. Nak gelak je aku member aku datang bisik kat aku kata nenek kebayan sorang ni meroyan. Aku pun rilek je.

Tau ler tua bangka... tapi aku pakai tag ngan tulisan besar-besar ARTIS tuh tak nampak ke?

Aku hadir time tuh dalam capacity kerja lain bodoh! Sedangkan pala-pala production semua tahu mengenai kehadiran aku, dan siap dok ngan aku bersembang... susah ler kat Astro ni banyak spesis kuli yang feeling power trip gitu.

Aku gelak je... nampaknya list aku tambah nama ler mereka yang mengundang malapetaka.

Still, after Ning, Nikki dan Yanie naik pentas, kepuasan segala keletihan berbaloi. Hasil kerja nampak....walaupun ada complications dari segi teknikal.

Dalam tuh puas kenangkan kebodohan orang berangan dua ekor ni. Ngan explanation Faizal dan kesungguhan dia nak memastikan tak ada salah faham atas inisiatif dia sendiri, aku pun tidur lena malam tuh.

That and the semangat given by kak Fati dan Nani when we had a little chat about some miscellaneous items. Thanks a bunch.

Ok... ok... so there was a Xanax thrown in the mix to make sure I got enough sleep rather than continue playing insomniac.

The next day was chaos!

Dah ler bangun tengahari sebab balik pun da lewat, rush gi rumah Hatta, dia da gerak KL ngan baju Ning, Nikki dan Yanie. Aku pun temankan Wanie ke PKNS Shah Alam tuk last minute touch up work on baju Reza yang dia buat. Selain dari erm.. urusan barang-barang aku sendiri.

Reza lak call kena lak si Wanie rush ke stadium, so aku kena pick up seluar-seluar yang di touch up kan. Matilah kena RM70 just for some simple work. Keji kedai tuh.

Celah tuh, this panicky person called me up and katakan memerlukan boots Yanie sebab kasut dia bak tak kena ngan baju red carpet Jovian.

By the way kalau korang tatau... baju Ning, Nikki dan Yanie disponsored Jovian Mandagie.
Dia ler mamat yang wat the look for Rossa dan Ratu. Amik ko! Bukan calang-calang ok. For more pics, aku rasa tuan pengurus punya blog banyak pics.

Anyway... back to the panic, aku kata tak mungkin ler nak sampai sebab da kul berapa da.

Last-last aku sampai kat stadium pun, dah kul 8. Matilah... tukar baju kat kereta je, in the middle of which nampak ler mamat sorang ni pakai leather jacket mai ke arah aku. Adi Fashla rupanya. Dia temankan aku sat, and then gerak masuk backstage ngan aku... rupanya dia datang ngan Farish - Durian Runtuh.

Beberapa kawan termasuk Shahila and friends joined us, and I headed for wardrobe tuk pass kan barang Wanie.

Bergegas lak nak passing boots Nikki dan Yanie, Ning's whip, Nikki's hat and Yanie's cane kat bilik persalinan kami.

Leh ler rehat sat sebab meka semua tengah sibuk red carpet.

Faizal... Mawi... Zahid...semua berkeliaran at some point or other. Faizal nyanyikan Lihatlah sikit tuk aku jadikan message tone... sorry I don't do illegal MP3s for ring tones (feeling tul...)
Sempat ler amik pics sana sini. Of two days, banyak pics aku amik (tapi takler sekeji seseorang tuh yang sampai lupa keja sebab sibuk jadik photographer tak bertauliah nak isikan blog dia)
Yazer... Lotter... Yasmin Hani... Erra... Betty...family ERA... ramai sangat sempat amik pcis throughout the two days of hectic preparation, especially time aku cigarette break nak release stress. But aku tengokkan mana yang sesuai aja aku letak sini.

Got through the early part of the night ok. But rush between sebab kena pastikan tukar kasut Nikki tuk show awal-awal, risau tak sempat tukar baju dia time tuk persembahan sebab kena stand by setiap kali umum kategori dia tercalon. Budget Mawi pun sapu... tapi just in case ler katakan.

And bila diumumkan, Nikki dan juga Zahid berjaya dalam kategori Vokal Duo Pilihan, aku menjerit cam pontianak kena cobit bontot dalam bas mini sesak (leh ker aku pakai bayangan camtuh?) di back-up vocal kan oleh Juan yang dok sebelah aku naik gila.
Bangga!!!

Yerlah... kat tag board ada orang tanya, aku promote Nikki kenapa... ada apa-apa ke. Sejarah aku ngan Nikki selama lebih setahun... hampir dua... from the moment dia jejak KL untuk Top 100 Malaysian Idol. Aku yakin ngan bakat dia, sampai diketemukan jodoh dia ngan Artistes United, bawah Vernon, Michael and of course Ning.

She's been my baby sister throughout and I am proud of her. Apa bezanya ngan Zahid who has been my baby brother (that's a big baby... matilah aku kena bunoh Zahid kang... ampunnnn!!!) since days when he left Akademi Fantasia as the champion. I was so proud that the two shared a win! It's like a reward for my belief in both of them. Walaupun kat Anugerah Planet Muzik, aku mengalir airmata saat nama Nikki diumumkan, there was no time for tears this time. Just an overwhelming sense of pride in both of them!

Tak sempat celebrate... tarik Nikki untuk siapkan dia tuk Drama which was supposed to go on shortly. Bila da siap, temankan Ning to get miked up. Then Yanie. And when Nikki pun da standby, aku gi isap rokok, serempak Zahid, aku terus pogo stick lompat-lompat pelok dia. Bangga!

Thanks to all fans of both Nikki and Zahid who made the effort! Keep it up! You guys made it happen even though everyone thought it was impossible!

By the way - congratulations to Mawi sebab hampir clean sweep. Proud of him too that he's able to maintain the momentum despite everything. Faizal... sabar ek... giliran awak akan tiba kang.

And then it was Drama. Aku rush to the front nak tengok. Steps... ok. Vocals ok. Lega. Even placing kena when the fireworks went off. Puas. Cuma sentap sikit sebab sound bangap and the levels were all over the place.

Irked a little bit more later when got SMSes telling me that camera angle, lighting dan sound kat TV cam #$%^&*. Well... we can't win 'em all.

But at least bangga ramai orang suka.

One thing's for sure... it was a memorable performance.

The only other performance I loved was the parade of champions with Vince, Zahid, Mawi and Faizal. Kenangan banyak. Thanks to someone great for this oicture of the four of them on the red carpet.

I think this is definitely a special take for the album.

Melihat pic ni kan... aku teringat dari saat tengok Vince dinobatkan juara kat Menara PGRM... Zahid and Faizal at Stadium Putra while Mawi kat Stadium Malawati... each time they won, and the whole season of experiences before their win. Banyak sangat kenangan. Tu lah the role Akademi Fantasia has played in my life. It's been there for the past four years. Is there any wonder why my blog is so AF based?

It's given me family and friends... and also taught me to be wiser of idiots and posers who know shit yet think they can play critic when they know nothing of vocals, performance, stage art...etc
Abih da Drama, banyak lepak ngan Faizal dan sedara mara dia selain Mawi. Lots to catch up on. After it was over, the hectic thing of running to do my other job, nak gi press conference lak.
Abih tuh jer, it was time to relax. Post party!!!

Tahun ni post party location.. set-up besh sekali! Sayang ramai tak hadir... cam kosong jer. Kureng artis. Yang ada celah-celah lak muka-muka groupie yang takde orang layan... you know who you are as you read this (keji aku gelak knowing)

Faizal signal kat aku dan bagitau dia kena ciao cepat sebab kena gegas nak join the rest of them in Muar for Marhaban... aiseh... tak besh la...

Layan gila Nana and Yasmin Hani je ler selain geng seksyen 16 Shah Alam yang in full force.

Maha gaban punya keseronokan sebab the past few weeks of planning and running around like a headless chicken had paid off.

Tompang bangga kejayaan Nikki dan Zahid.. persembahan Ning, Nikki dan Yanie.. as well as perhatian Hatta dapat.

Hatta Dolmat malam tuh menjadi designer paling sought after. Selain baju Ning, Nikki dan Yanie tuk Drama, dia juga wat fashion show dia yang enam models, and then selain tuh dressed up Diddy, Pushpa and also Nabila. Dare I forget juga manager yang pushy dan garang (tapi loveable - matilah tambah last part takut kena hamun!)

Hatta... for all your hard work... this is my tribute to you. Merasalah lain kali set rambut dulu ek uols sebelum naik pentas... shampoo pun ntah ntah tak sempar sebab kelam kabut... but wasn't it all worth it?

Wanie pun cantik baju-baju dia tuk Reza. Cuma keji Reza tak bagi kredit bila da orang sponsor antara semua penyampai ERA.

Famee gets credit for Nikki and Yanie's make-up and hair while Ted for being the multi-purpose worker. Vernon gets credit for believing in these amazing young talents like I did.

Fiebie for playing caretaker on and off... (merasalah amah kata ganti Ted). Tak lupa Juan yang jadik inspirasi adding the tongkat for Yanie (gelak gaban! - merasalah Miss Olympia OKU)
And the result?

Of course, lagu ni da naik sampai nombor dua kat Carta ERA, so keep requesting it so it'll naik nombor satu!

Apapun, as a tribute to Caramu sebab menang, here's the video. By the way, for those of you yang tak tahu... here's something else to celebrate!

Caramu tercalon for Muzik-Muzik dalam kategori Pop Rock, and immediately shot to NUMBER ONE sebaik je tercalon. If that isn't amazing enough, the song has remained at the TOP for three weeks now. Keep requesting for Caramu ok by CLICKING HERE!

Er... picking up where I left off...lepas tuh balik lepak for post-mortem of the team's efforts kat rumah meka kat Shah Alam.

Sunday masuk office abihkan keja sorang diri sebab budak stringer masih tak paham konsep nak wat tuh ni. Sentap.

Abih jer ciao...singgah konsert Gemilang AE sat, cukup after Caramu with Nikki and Zahid, and then gerak. Eh.. Amirul pun ada selain Rich together with Estranged. Lotter pun ada. Gila laa dak ni... teringat YY call aku Friday night sebab Lotter MIA entah balik ngan sapa and tak dapat dikesan managers Maestro. Lupa lak tanya Lotter sapa hantar dia balik.

Monday was nose back on the grinding wheel nak a abihkan column for Thursday, fashion spread for Thursday dan juga a news piece yang tak settle kerana orang nak di interview tak dapek-dapek. Berkenaan kes khalwat dua artis tuh (nak tahu sapa ke?... takleh cakap sini.. kang kena saman sebab kes lum masuk court).

Lega... terus isi borang leave.. yes.. leave.

Aku annual leave aku berlambak agik!

Aku amik cuti empat hari, so plus the weekend, I will be back on Monday at work. Kalau leh nak extend panjang agik sebab I can actually have almost two months off on my remaining days (merasalah last year baru empat hari aku pakai).

Hari ni naik gila. First day cuti da bosan, gi kedai kak long tambah lak blonde streaks in my hair. Keji.. rasa tak cukup je. Aku nak ala Dilana... leh? Kak long lak jenis degil bila mintak wat camni camtuh ada je.. (matilah no more discounts after this).

Balik singgah melantak with the geng kat Seksyen 7 and then mai Internet cafe sebab feeling guilty nak tunaikan kewajipan updatekan blog. Gambar tak sempat banyak, but I promise I will maintainence ler sikit tomorrow (today ler sebab da pass midnight)

Esok kena gi Astro hantar benda nak settle benda payment tuk aku for something. Dapat agi duit dari Astro (berbaloi ler subscribe tapi dapat gak money from them sebab appear sana sini bukan free ok) Pastu ada meeting illegal pasal something...

Kalau aku naik gila, nak gi cuti seorang diri dua tiga hari... tengok angin. Apapun, I will update my blog before I do.

Just in case tak dapat Astro kat tempat aku nak gi... sebab nak cita pasal Rockstar : Supernova yang nak masuk final minggu ni. Hope Dilana wins. Paling busuk pun Lukas ler.

Ok ler guys... thanks for reading this maha gaban panjang punya posting. Lega dapat put everything down in writing. Time to close my little diary for now. Good night...

PS - More pictures will be uploaded later today... so banyak bersabar ek. Esok penuh program terpaksa menjana malapetaka. Tungguuu...

Recap!

Aku honestly pening gak tak blog dekat seminggu ni.

Actually genap seminggu since my last posting, so there's a lot I want to recount balik about my week...

Tapi camna... dah wat posting, tak keluar-keluar lak.

Even my last posting keluar sehari lambat, and then esok dan lusanya lak, blogdrive wat hal, so none of my postings could go online.

To make matters worse, dah taip berjela already, masa posting hilang gituh je. Sampai naik frust lak nak posting sampai the whole system ok balik.

Mmmm.. mai aku recount balik what I did for the past week, susah nak recap nih sebab banyak kena ingat balik. Aku dahler very selective memory pulak tuh.

Trackback to Wednesday, on Merdeka eve. Worked till late

Not that late lah actually... sampai kul 8 lebih kot. Met up with Juan sebab nak cover konsert Merdeka kat KLCC.

Terkejut sebab ingat dah mesti jalan sesak gila... as experienced for the past few years. Tapi I was taken aback because the roads were suddenly the way they were something like 20 years ago (if there were roads there 20 years ago lah... you know what I mean).

Kosong... jalan rilek je, breezed through from Bangsar to KLCC within 15 minutes or so. Cam tak caya lak! Hmmm...

Anyway sampai tuh, meriah ler gak.

Malas cita panjang sebab ada episod binatang-binatang berangan gila kuasa (matilaaa ko aku SMS boss ko gak kan?) Yang banyak temankan aku malam tu berborak si Velvet dan Farhan as well as Zahid. Faizal pun ada ler selit-selit masa dia nak borak... sempat aku passing barang yang dijanjikan.

Pastu jadik kontroversi molot-molot poaka berangan lak kan? Matilaaa ko menyibuk jaga tepi kain orang. I seriously think, orang-orang ni sexually repressed. Tu laa akibatnya sibuk sangat with other people's lives and thinking they're better sampai meka end up so anal retentive sangat.

Whatever! Janji stok-stok gila glamer yang nak feeling rapat ngan bebudak ni sampai dengkikan orang lain akan campak je bebudak ni pas niat gila glamer meka exhausted. I think after four years of Akademi Fantasia, dah biasa dah ngan memacam bangsa yang nak dekati bebudak ni.

Abih konsert, lepak ngan Farhan dan Velvet banyak sekali ngan Syed from Maestro. Malam tu, cadang nak balik awal, tapi sebab party punya pasal, alamak, tertidur bangun 10.30 pagi!!!!

Gilos!!!!

Pastu dahler kelam kabut nak tepati janji to Yasmin that I would drop by for a private preview of Mukhsin. Sebenarnya berat nak gi tuh.. one because I prefer to watch the complete product on screen for an unbiased view of how the film really is, and secondly... erm...sebab ras anak sambung tidur.

Tapi balik terus mandi, lantak sesuap dua nasi, and then gerak to pick up Miss Olympia dan gegas ke Leo Burnett.

Sampai 1.30pm. Lum start agi rupanya.... tunggu beberapa kengkawan sampai. Aleya and Nani were there. But it was a nice gush of excitement the moment the offline version of Mukhsin rolled on which was for a small group of friends, most of whom were close to Yasmin, tapi aku tak kenal sangat. Tapi kalau the music maestro ada harusler merembes sebab 'Alan' ada, kan?

What do I think of the film. As the usual standards for Yasmin's films...a bloody MUST WATCH!

In true tradition of her work, there is no repeat performance of the 'usual strategy' employed by other film-makers. Kalau the last film in Gubra was dark and rather melancholic (at least it was depressingly so personally for me), and Sepet was mor MTV-esque and yet not even as remotely close to a certain Professor punya filem... Mukhsin is... simple.

A straightforward story of first love.

Without revealing too much, all I can say is the film is fantastic for the excellent casting (walaupun kid actors but they execute their characters better than a lot of existing pelakon ok!), the music (mencemar budaya ke nak promo keroncong) and the simple manner of delivery, and yet without pandering to the expected formula of popcorn movies.
In true Yasmin style, I had tears in my eyes by the time the lights came on. Suka tau Yasmin nak bagi orang nitis airmata. Not since the Eighties when I used to temankan my mom to watch these Chinese drama serials (remember Heaven Knows My Heart?), could I so easily shed a tear or two. Aku pun da kebelakangan ni dah 'membatukan' hati aku to avoid being too sensitive in this challenging industry, so that says a lot when watching Mukhsin, aku masih lagik mampu terbuai ngan segala perasaan yang terkandung dalam jalan cerita dan dialog...emosi dan sentimen yang ingin di ketengahkan.

It would be almost rude to simplify if, but Yasmin's movies, are like the Petronas ads (if you're wondering why, I'll smack you)... they just state something that's obvious, but you've never really picked up on.Sentimental fool. Had a short tea session after the movie and some interesting conversation before moved to KLCC again for Konsert Reunion.

Malas cita lebih, kang ada lak pihak dengki agik kan? So all I can say it was simply fun!

Though I suspect not for some people la... biasalah kalau kuli dok sakit ati je kot tengok orang lain seronok. Kalau da inferiority complex, da dengki...da no life and yearning to berangan with other people's lives camtuh ler.

Whatever...

Tapi yang penting nya... ni ada few pics nak share... meletop tak shading Faizal? Kesian gak keletihan tahap gaban tuk, tengok muka da terbayang jadual dia packed camne. Lum agik keja tambahan hasil penyibuk (gelak sendiri sebab sendiri paham...)

Yang penting, dalam banyak gambar aku, malas nak post semua kat sini sebab ada yang masih tak paham what a personal blog is, while others yang tak dapat kata nak show off lak pulak (entah apa yang ditunjuk-tunjukkan pun... padahal dengki sebab bertahun aku wat camni takde lak yang bising... tetiba akibat dengki...)

Tapi pic atas ngan Haziq tuh aku nak letak sebab tu first real pic aku mgan dia. Merasalah... sapa kata kita tak ngam! Cili mulot baru tau....

Ini ada a few more pics nak share. Just a couple of my favourites lah from malam Merdeka Eve concert and also Konsert Reunion Akademi Fantasia. Enjoy guys!

Just a little explanation. First pic - Velvet. Dalam usik mengusik dia suka wat muka kelakar, ni one of the 'poses' diabadikan. Character dia dan Marsha sama. Very bubbly and upbeat!

Second, of course, The Orange One, my baby bro, Zahid. Tetap smart (tapi berat badan tuh da naik balik sikit ler bro... jaga ek)

Third of course si Rich dan Lotter tengah feeling santai sebelum start Konsert Reunion Akademi Fantasia. Sekali tengok dalam pic ni sebab blur kerana movement, si Lotter aku feel cam character Guilde dalam Street Fighter lak (kuat imaginasi).

Yang keempat, dak yang dipeluk Faizal tuh namanya Haziq yang perform sekali masa konsert Merdeka KLCC. Haziq ni kelakar...pandai dia nak tiru perangai setiap watak dalam Akademi Fantasia. Dari tiru Adlin sampai ke Faizal sendiri, Haziq was just so cute. Anak sapa lah ni... bertuahnya.... dia paling favourite temankan Velvet yang kesunyian sepanjang malam when Zahid sibuk dan Faizal dan Farhan di bawa lak ke Dataran Merdeka.

Anyway... a little belated, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALAYSIA!

Friday keja sikit... Saturday lak met up with Diddy and Lotter as well as kak Aina and a couple of friends. My guardian angel (and Diddy's too) ada personal situation sikit, so selepas dimarah, aku call them. Patutnya Haziq ada sekali but entah kata dia kuar ngan family, so tak sempat join. Ajak Juan sekali and met Diddy, Lotter, kak Aina and gang kat Madam Kwan's Mid Valley Megamall.

Tima kasih kak Aina and friends (segan tak ingat nama) sebab belanja dinner. Sentap aku tak sempat bayar... only could pick up a round of coffee je.

Banyak gak dapat gossip... celah-celah tuh, Nana walked in together with Ann (Ann68 yang dok mai singgah sini kekadang) along with a friend walked in for dinner. Riuh for a moment...

Anyway pastu they wanted to go back, so the four of us decided to watch My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Last-last sebab takde seat yang cantik, we settled for Snakes On A Plane.

Aku decide nak gi Gold Class sebab penuh sangat time tuh panggung,
Gelut ngan Lotter sebab dia nak belanja... last-last dia settle belanja main game kat this amusement centre nearby because we had one a half hours to kill before the movie.

Merasalah aku lama tak Daytona da! Lotter finish first twice, aku twice. Hah... tu laa akibat tak pandai main nak crash kan keta orang (gelak jahat...sorry ek Lotter sebab asik nak bagik ko babas - sambil sumpah Juan bagi aku babas one game sampai aku masuk last!)

Diddy main game ala gendang tu aku gelak sebab mula-mula dia gelak aku... hah.. baru tau letih mana nak ikut rentak pukul benda alah tuh.

Sampai time, watched Snakes On A Plane yang memng menjerit je la keja aku asik terkejut. Binatang punya pilem... tapi best gak sebab aku suka scare movies camni.

Sunday mula-mula ingat nak gi acara Hotlink Akademi Fantasia sebab ada finalists and Diddy, but malas lak for several reasons. Apapun, aku siap ke TV3 je, sebab ikut rombongan ke Kuala Lipis.

Mak aih... very the rombongan cik Kiah! Siap Anne Avantie naik satu bas ok. Her and team dia yang 10 orang total. Vogue gak dia ni, but very the standard rupa datin dari Indo. Friendly nonetheless...

We reached just over two and a half hours later, dijamu ngan some bites, before Siti Nurhaliza herself mai welcome us. And that's when we saw it. The love bite.

Suka tengok the fact that Siti can be human enough to have something like that. I hate the way ada peminat yang letak Siti ni cam dia ni, tak pernah dan tak leh cam orang lain...

She's only human kan? So leave her be lah...

Apapun, pastu kami gerak Centrepoint Hotel & Apartments nak wat story semua. Kul 8 malam da siap story, sekali with Zul dan Farihad from Berita Harian dan juga Marliah dan Rafie from Kosmo!, tapi WiFi wat hal takleh send story.

Tension... so gerak ler ke Dataran Lipis tuh for the event terus. Stayed for about over an hours je.

Datin Siti dan Datuk Khalid sampai about 8.45pm, and we left about 9.45pm or so untuk nak hantar story. Kelam kabut, pas touch up story with some new details, couldn't find a line. Last-last guna reception hotel punya CCTV punya online PC nak hantar. Leh?

Matilah katanya alasan tuk rompak lain kali... apapun ada ler gak sebab aku nak layan gi cuti Kuala Lipis pasni (oops... takleh cita... nanti orang dengki because they have no lives nak sibuk hidup orang lain lak).

Gerak about midnight, and reached back TV3 about almost 3am. Dropped by Hatta's place to check on dia dia dan Wanie. Meka masih gigih ler siapkan baju untuk Anugerah ERA. Gina yang nak balik kampung esok, tengah sibuk wat aku punya lak... best nya creatuve design team ni. Tbey're really the best. Nanti tengok je hasil kerja meka kat Anugerah ERA.

Balik KO. Cadang nak ke rumah meka siang, sebab aku memang da bagitau opis aku akan masuk lambat sebab balik pun kul berapa da. Tapi jaga pun tengahari. Had tea cum dinner with Fiebie, Hatta and Wanie. Ada yang sibuk dok merembes abang sorang ni. Merasalah maskul tapi muka ala ala pusat penternakan jejentik kalau ujan sebab air bertakung!

Planned nak gerak ke Chow Kit with Fiebie sebab nak pick up costume material etc...(rahsia kerajaan takleh dedah nanti tau material semua dapat dari mana), but had to drop by Bangsar for rehearsal lagu Drama with Ning, Nikki dan Yanie.

Tak penah tengok step choreographer, si Boboy lagik, and aku risau sebab aku yang suggest dia nak try kelainan. Sampai je mother chicken pun da ada, sekali Jovian, Max dan sorang agik yang tak tangkap nama.

Vernon kata Jovian ni wat baju tuk Rossa dan Ratu, so kira stylo la diva bertiga ni nanti sebab baju red carpet disponsor dia. Cantik gak tengok dia fitting baju-baju dia... sesuai ngan tema leather and denim.

Anyway, Drama looks FANTASTIC! Look out for the show masa Anugerah ERA nanti sebab it will definitely be one of the best performances for the night, vocally as well as visually. Ning, Nikki dan Yanie won't only be belting out the song, meka jugak akan menari! And the steps are based on the artform of Vogue (contrary to straight beliefs, vogueing was not introduced by Madonna, but is an dance inspired sometime in the 70s after films like Paris Is Burning etc)

Tengok jam pas gelak, tepuk tampar... dah 12.30am. Alamak... shit!

Rush... rush... rush. Sempat drop by ngan music maestro yang keja pegang remote control CD untuk ulang (tunggu gambar bukti dikemukakan), kat Seksyen 7 nak melantak ngan Hatta and Wanie sekali ngan Lan (menjadi mangsa rembesan maestro)

Sempat drop by their place nak fitting baju aku... yeay! Only minor alterations needed. Tapi ada errands lagik nak run ni to complete it.

Merasalah dapat inspiration King Of Fighters ala cosplay!

Siang tadik jejak opis sampai sekarang, keja banyak nak wat... sekali on the phone ngan someone from Astro nak settle kan beberapa masaalah orang yang mengundang malapetaka.

Yes, final keputusan? Aku akan wat formal complaint in black and white.

Dah time nak ajar dah meka ni.. dok diam ingat sedap-sedap nak pijak je kan.

Moving on, just had a chance to blog lah ni... banyak keja balas dendam. Still following Rockstar : Supernova dan Ejen 016 walaupun aku follow nak blog more about it memang tak sempat. Salahkan the whole media circus I got caught up in with headlines Siti dan Mawi increasing more and more.

For Rockstar : Supernova, I am hardly surprised Ryan busuk tuh dah kuar. Aku da berminggu kata da dia mesti out punya... Tengok je, aku yakin Dilana dan Lukas akan top two. They are the best, and most suited to Supernova.

As for Ejen 016, aku follow pun nak blog lebih aku rasa cam wat summary program je keja....

You guys really have to catch it on your own. It is a pretty cool.

Trivia question!

What do Amber Chia and Linda Onn have in common?

They're both guest artistes with cameos on Ejen 016!

Pas minggu lepas Amber dah muncul, episod minggu ni which will be aired over TV3 at 9.30pm tomorrow night will feature Linda in a cameo.

That's one thing interesting about the whole series. The amount of star-gazing you can do in a night... dah ler regular cast pun leh tahan semua nama.

So jangan lupa lak nak tune in tomorrow to catch the developements... dan pada sapa yang menang handphone Nokia in the Ejen 016 competition, tuh nak sedekahkan kat aku... semoga dimurahkan rezeki... (gelak cam haper jer....)

Pening tul...aku ni memang TV addict. Dalam time kesibukan, aku camna pun kena catch certain series. Tak sabar aku nak dapat decoder Astro yang baru tuh leh main pause dan rewind as well as pelbagai lagi functions to toy with.

I however think kena carik lobang dulu sebab tak sanggup bayau mahal... since I'm not going to use it that much walaupun I really do need that function.

Tunggu dah lihat je bila aku dapat decoder baru tuh...

By the way, merasalah Fiebie makan jati tengok pose Linda Onn ngan Power Root - Pearl Kacip Fatimah kat bawah.... uols kan ratu kemuts feeling spokesmodel Pearl gaks.

Merasalah balas dendam carut kuku itam aku dalam posting entry ko!

Anyway... dalam kelam kabut, and rushing to finish these entries, there are a couple of my favourite pics aku nak share...

The first masa time kami makan-makan beramai-ramai sometime a week ago. Masa tu we saw this sign outside this electrical shop. Ingat owner dia owang Pantai Timur, sebab tulis washing machine as WASHING MACHING!

Amik ko bahasa baku ala reverse kot... write as pronounced.
After we saw the shop was owned by a Chinese family, Fiebie kata mesti tokei Cina ni orang Besut. Keji!!!

Tapi kami gelak sampai pecah perut. Diddy sampai nak tergolek dibuatnya, tak henti gelak dekat 10 minit, manakala abang Badrul lak tunjuk skill how to shoot teh ais from the nostrils teknik nak gelak cepat sangat time minum.

Merasalah a sign in Shah Alam made in Ganu. Yes... washing machings are available here katanya.

Pic yang kedua belah kanan lak nak tau apa? Tu lah apa aku rasa nak wat ngan Motorola Fiebie yang baru. Keji tau setelah mendapat phone baru yang ada kamera rajin update blog terover-over lak! Gambar washing maching tuh contohnya da berkurun lama dia update dalam blog dia. Uwaa!!! Matilah camni blog aku menjadi blog past tense! Oops! Merasalah Ratu Diet!Anyway, the last picture I have to share is ala ala 18SX - mempunyai unsur lucah dengan patung mainan akibat kreativiti orang mana ntah (and I swear it wasn't me).

Sometime last week aku dan Wanie nak carik barang kat Shah Alam for costumes and all, we happened upon the soft toys area, then nampak ni.

Bukan aku buat ek... aku setakat menangkap pic tuk jadikkan wallpaper dan gelak sorang diri je. The things twisted minds dream of...

I suppose I've managed to capture the whole week in this posting yang berejam aku wat... kalau aku tinggalkan apa-apa yang penting nanti aku tambahkan... masih ada keja sikit nak abihkan, esok lak off sebab akan sibuk ngan banyak preparations untuk Anugerah ERA.

Nanti aku akan update blog balik. Don't worry...

Apapun minggu ni nak rajinkan diri update blog kembali. Rindu gak kekadang ada benda nak coretkan kat sini or posting pic ke haper... because this is still my 'theraphy' at the end of the day.

This is my life... and people who can deal with it... are welcome here.
For those who can derive that little bit of joy from what I feel are my boring daily musings... keep bearing with me.

Your support means a lot to me. Blogging for me is not about numbers. It's about the amount of people who I have touched, who have touched me...

Friends I have made, that I can depend on...

Emotional support even from people who are technically strangers, but who know me more than some people who think they actually do.

In these times.... this blog is an extension of me that I only partially expose.

Pada si pengusik - you're still on my mind. Hopefully things will work out.
We can only hope...

Ok... nak ciao gi tengok rehearsal. Mak minah dah membebel tanya kul berapa nak mai da.

Penyimpan mohor besar

Letih teramat letih... baru nak gerak daripada ofis. Matahari pun da terbit baru aku nak pulang.

No regrets over choosing to attend the Mawi...Ina thing rather than Siti's wedding reception. Seriously, I am just tired of the whole Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk Khalid Mohamad Jiwa affair.

Had fun alright walaupun ke Putrajaya yang sometimes I think is such a God forsaken location, though the show itself wasn't as spicy as I hoped it would be. Aku rasa banyak sangat persoalan tak terjawab... plus not mention keluarga Mawi sendiri yang right in the middle of the whole thing tak memberikan komen langsung termasuk kakak dia si Rasyidah tu yang dok pampang muka sana sini.

Dengar khabar, meka sendiri tak nak terlibat ngan program tuh.

Now really.... check out The Malay Mail today for that bit. Anyway... kan kita semua tahu selama ni Ina salahkan family Mawi banyak (adik beradik, bukan parents dia) for being a huge factor in their break-up? Mawi sendiri ngaku ada 'konflik' antara anggota keluarga dia dan Ina yang memulakan segalanya.

So?

Mana yang tokang sibuk pas Mawi glamer ni?

Pelik...

Abih je dari Putrajaya, gi office New Straits Times Press bersama ngan teman-teman lain daripada New Straits Times, Berita Harian dan juga Harian Metro menyiapkan dan menghantar laporan dari sana tuk jimat masa sebab da tengah malam by the time we finished.

After 1am tuh baru abih. Rajin semua... ovetime tetap! (matilaaaaaaa!!!)

Pas abih, call Diddy ajak nak supper. Ingat abang Badrul ada sekali, tapi rupanya dia da balik awal sebab letih. Mintak Diddy ajak Haziq sekali.

Gegas kembali ke KL bak keta 160km/j sebab risau lambat kang... tanak la meka tunggu lama.
Aku nak sampai aje, Diddy call tanya kat mana, aku pun kata da nak approach. Which was true.

Ten minutes later dia call, aku kata da sampai pun area KLCC tapi salah masuk jalan. Yes, this was true as well (matilah terbayang abang Badrul, Mr Manager dan Fiebie mesti carut aku kalau meka ada...merasalah procrastination!)

Tambah reckless ler bawak keta langgar je lampu merah sebab Diddy kata sampai lampu da padam katanya.

Sampai je... setan!!! Rupanya kelentong aku. Memang da over, tapi takde laa meka berdua tunggu aku tepi jalan dalam kegelapan.

Farhan masih ada lagi ngan relative dia, I assume yang aku tak penah jumpa. Seronok lak dapat jumpa dia. She makes me happy cause she really is such a positive person to be around walaupun da tak bubbly and perky like some people need to be to get you to feel their positive vibes.

Pusing cari tempat nak supper, and then decided on Uncle Don's.

Apapun - meka skang penyimpan mohor besar rahsia aku (yerlah...akibat abang Badrul pasang speakerphone *keji!* katanya tengah aku bagitau rahsia pasal si pengusik) Korang ingat ek janji... mari nyanyi sama-sama..."Pernahkah kooo bermimmmpiiiiiiiiiiii...."

Had fun... tapi sayang keletihan sangat kami semua, plus Monday night pas 2am memang tak

ramai orang so kurang ler meriah.

Haziq seronok sebab Betty Banafe tegur dia (puas, Haziq aku sebutkan?) You owe me one ah!!!
Oh by the way... jangan terkejut, Haziq da amik inisiatif tuk baca blog aku. This was after he kept asking for it but never had the time to surf.

Komen Haziq? Memang komen aku semua keji! Hahahahahaha.....plus lambat loading katanya. Dah nak wat per dik... beban dosa umpatan kot kat server.

Apapun, congrats to you too Haziq for being more mature than I give you credit for.

Eh... ok lah... nak balik sebelum traffic jam orang nak gi keja (merasalah aku baru nak balik tidur!)

Good night... oops... morning all!

Kang aku larat aku update pics ek... malas lak rasanya...

Yawn...

Hati terusik... ada yang membisik

Kali ni aku nak wat posting dua part. When I started my blog, it was all about luahan hati aku, kebanyakkannya berkaitan ngan hidup peribadi aku.

Somewhere along the way, after the therapy that it provided me in the face of personal hurt, aku banyak blogging pasal kerja dan sebagainya.

Which is still ok I suppose, sebab tu lah gunanya blog kan?

Catatan peribadi... jurnal harian... my own little diary with my thoughts and my feelings all coded into this little bit in cyberspace.

My own confessional.

Tapi... I understand, some people come in here for hope... to read the light fluff that surrounds my life as well. And that's ok.

So, the first part of my posting will be about my regular activities, and the second part is about addressing some concerns I have.

Phew... that was really unncessary, but seeing how many idiots have access to the Internet and do NOT understand what a blog is supposed to be, I just thought offering them a choice of reading what they want to would be fair.

Of course, if they hate this blog tapi still masuk, then it wouldn't make sense to them any way kan?

PART I
Whatever... well...so Friday.

Hmm... picking up from Friday... aku abih keja je, drove in the rain to the promise of a fun weekend, despite not being able to join geng semua ke Hatyai.

My destination? Nak ke opis Maestro.

Patutnya aku jumpa Faizal kat Subang Jaya je, kat Click Studio, tapi sebab awal lagi, dan aku pun takde arah tuju memana, so decided lepak ler sekali je.

Sampai, temankan Along minum kat mamak bawah, pastuh serempak ngan Freddie
and Melvyn and had short chat.

Pakcik Faizal dropped by to join, and then shortly tuh aku naik ler.

Dalam nak mengisi masa sejam sebelum nak ke sesi photography (ni tuk profile meka... tatau ler kalao pakai tuk album art), Faizal sambung recording tuk album Raya. Banyak ler retake.. (takde ler banyak sangat...merasalah aku kena carut Man Bangla!!!)

Ok ler...tapi ngantuk aku sebab ye lah... kat luar tengah ujan, and then aku pun letih. Pejal muka nampak stress abih! Kesian lak dia tak cukup tidur dan letih.

Tepat kul 8pm, dah settle laying the vocal tracks, kami pun gerak ler. Faizal, pakcik dia dan YY satu keta. I drove on my own... layan My Heart on repeat teringatkan wajah seseorang je sepanjang perjalanan (angau tul aku ni)

Sampai kat area Sunway Pyramid, perjalanan yang lancar tetiba terhenti. Mak aih!!! Cam parking lot! tak de keta bergerak langsung. K*m*kkkkkkk!!!!!!

Argghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Two hours and fifteen minutes later aku sampai Click yang sebenarnya jarak dalam maybe about 5km je jauh cam da nak sampai Kuantan rasanya ngan time perjalanan teramat.
Aku da agak aku mesti first sebab masa sampai roundabout in the first hour, YY call aku meraung pasal meka masih depan Pyramid. Amik ko....

Famee and Hatta ngan adik dia sampai kemudian dalam 10 minit pastuh.

It took another half hour sebelum Fiazal & Co. sampai Click.

Nak dekat kul 11, tengok muka Faizal semakin affected... so mintak dia rehat dulu... Dok keta dua jam lebih, dia kata tak dapat tidur. Aduh... kesian tol.

Half an hour later, ngan Famee da make-up semua, they started the photography.

Faizal ni kategori Haziq gak. Memang natural la bab dpan kamera ni.

Senang je keja ngan dia...

Tiga pasang baju kemudian, nampaknya dia semakin warm-up and tambah hebat beraksi depan kamera.

More than three hours later, kami semua gerak.

Aku lepak ngan member minum... then balik tuk call it a night.

By the way, anyone watched channel 9 tak hari Jumaat tuh? Ada entertainment programme, don't know what it's called, but I was interviewed on it about the issue of managers and artistes and professionalism (merasalah some people would say what I know about all this kan)

Saturday was a lazy day. Balas dendam tidur puas-pias.

Siang gi Astro sat sebab ada rakaman interview tuk program Mawi... Ina yang interview aku pasal pandangan aku. Jangan harap ler aku laser sangat sebab ada direction dalam interview tuh ek (matilaaaaaaa...)

Mintak-mintak editing meletup...

Petang, jumpa Zamzuri kat KLCC and then join dia for Planet YM punya bowling tournament. Let the pictures tell you what a 'happy' event it was (matilah aku kena carut pas ni... ampun!!!)

Met old friends... new friends...

Saw weird fashion trends including seseorang ni yang pakai seluar panjang rolled up, and then these pair of terompah... clogs yang jalan je *klik* *klok*... tak sesuai.

Very the statement gi pasar (jangan marah uols)

Rancang nak ke Dataran Merdeka sebab Faizal ada bagitau dia perform tuk malam
puisi ke apa kat sana, tapi sebab sibuk kecoh kat bowling alley tuh tak
sempat lak. Sedar-sedar da kul 11. Call Faizal tak dapat, so call Farhan. Her uncle picked up kata tengah show. Shortly after, Farhan message kata show da abih.

Then Faizal SMS kata show ok.. no problems.

Rugi tak gi tengok... tapi yerlah kan... aku pun nak social life selain dari Akademi Fantasia je.

Kekadang aku lupa beza kerja dan kehidupan peribadi aku because I am so used to both being one.

Hung out for supper with some friends, and later met someone up for drinks and a long chat.

That added weight to my problems... (ada dalam second part posting ni)

By the time nak tidur Sunday morning, tak ngantuk walaupun mata letih (boleh?) Popped a Xanax and called it a 'night'.

Merasalah bangun awal (even Xanax can't cure some amount of restlessness), tapi pas gayut kat phone sat, tertidur akibat xanax tuh masih power.

Setan... by the time aku tul-tul up and about... da lewat petang.

Bosan lak sebab da tidur seharian.

Call sorang-sorang.

Alam tengah sibuk editing... Vernon sibuk redecorating...penyeludup hormon stuck
menunggu bus nak nalik KL.... abang Badrul patut have dinner with his family manakala Zaamzuri lak ada date.

Bosannn!!!

BerSMS ramai lagi... Marsha kata dia ada hal, tapi dia kata Rich and gang da
call ajak karaoke, but she counldn't join them. She asked me to join them, tapi call Rich dan Lotter tak dapat lak.

Call Haziq... tatau lak dia da balik dari kampung ke tak, so gamble. Haziq kata meka kat Wisma Ali Bawal wat rancangan Aznil. Dia kata set je.... so aku pun confirm ngan Diddy sebab ingat Diddy drive.

Dalam nak confirm, tetiba ramai lak balas SMS yang tak terjawab. Pening nak membalas nonstop (merasalah SMS at least five people at one go!). Macam ada komplot nak peningkan aku je.

Last-last set jumpa kat Uncle Don kat Hartamas...

Abang Badrul, Diddy, Amirul dan Haziq da dok nunggu aku yang berejam baru sampai akibat takde parking.... baru nak salam je tengok eh eh... meja belakang tuh Amylea dan Anding as well as other friends pun ada!

Saat-saat ni terlintas fikiran... pasal komen orang bila aku blog pasal jumpa bebudak ni. Ada yang kata, bab tuh pun nak blog ke? Well.. if you know what a diary is... then you wouldn't ask.

Simple meaning of a blog.

Just kekadang kalao orang tuh indulgent gila, dia rasa ok... tapi bila tengok orang lebih pantang. So all I can say is.. sucks to be you lah...whatever.

Two hours or so flew past camtuh je.

Oh by the way, Haziq... tanak tulis pasal what a wonderful night it was (matilah carut aku nak ngutuk je dalam blog - gelak evil tahap gaban teringat!)

Abih je, gerak nak balik, tapi pas call Juan lak yang on the way balik dari Kuantan, patah balik ke KL because he said he would be at Puduraya at 1am. Sebab keta dia kat Shah Alam, ingat takper la... alang-alang tumpangkan hantar.

Pas jemput, ke rumah Hatta & Co.

Sampai rumah pun da subuh. Aiyak... camni ni...

Ni masuk opis je kelam kabut siapkan apa yang patut sebab nak gi Putrajaya.

Untuk apa?

Untuk ke rancangan Mawi... Ina tuh ler.

Yes, I will not be going for Siti's wedding reception.

Why?

Because after months of covering Siti, I think Mawi...Ina lebih narik kot.

Yerlah... at least mintak tiada rahsia agik kan topik Mawi dan Ina ni.

Yang lagik satu tuh bukan rahsia lagi so no suspense.

Lagikpun, nanti dapat gak tengok gambar baju dia dan sebagainya kang. That's all that's really the feature of the wedding anyway. Plus jangan lupa reception kat Kuala Lipis agik... kat Jakarta agik.

Overdose and overexposed lak aku rasa.... Princess Diana dulu kawin satu dunia tengok pun sekali je masa wedding. Ni sampai tunang dan akad nikah... sanding, then repeat performance dua kali lagik.

Mmm... overkill.

Lagikpun, ada sangat yang terdesak nak sangat gi majlis harapkan invitation, I think the event has become so overcome with people who have nothing to do than scrounge for invitations, that honestly, the exclusivity of going, is not there anymore. I think I have better things to do than mingle with riff-raff who feel the need to be seen at events for free food.

Biarlah ada yang berseronok sana. At least I get paid for it (tepuk gelak sikit)

Aku pass invite aku kat Naji dan Halim sebab meka akan cover aku dalam time aku ke Putrajaya... enjoy guys! (Halim.. intai gosip sikit ek)

Malam ni kena rush balik office, tapi mengharap dapat jumpa yang mengusik malam ni (baca posting bahagian part two kalao nak tau pasal that)

Okler... nak gi Putrajaya ni.

Mawi... Ina? Siti - Datuk K?

Mana lebih sensasi? I think the answer's obvious.

PART II
These are my private emotional rantings. Do not read if you don't need to.

...ketika dilamun kesepian, terdampar dengan duka yang masib belum terubat, ada yang mengusik hati ini.
Disaat ku ingat penawar telah ditemui, ada lain yang membisik.

Hah... jiwang tak aku? Tapi itulah hakikat apa yang dihadapi aku dalam seminggu ini. Sebenarnya, I think only my best friends know what I mean... they should because after all, I have been boring them with all those small details which make life's little annoyances so minute in comparison.

Pada mereka yang sanggup mendengar kisah ku... here's how it started... ni kira versi pendek la.
Setelah aku cuba melupakan 'dia' kerana I really don't want to wallow in depression of another effing frustrating failure, aku ketemui seseorang yang... well in a nutshell, I didn't really think of in that way.

Dalam peluang bersama, kemanjaan orang itu mengusik aku untuk melihat lebih dalam isi hatinya. And while I usually run from things like these at times when I'm still healing from a failure, aku terima dengan hati terbuka.

Reality however has a strange way of morphing into this dangerous adversary yang just soaks up any happiness, and becomes the biggest enemy and threat to our happiness, and perhaps... even the little lives we have.

Without saying much more, all I can say is, while aku nak bersama dengan orang tu, dan aku nak gak usaha tuk bersama dia, aku terasa patutnya aku menhalang diri aku daripada terkena lagi.

Same script, different cast, right.

For those who know... si dia yang baru menghadirkan diri dalam hidup aku, tak ubah sangat keadaan diri dia seperti seseorang yang pernah wujud sebagai tunggak semangat aku.

Dalam dilema... dan juga angau... aku telah pun kenal seseorang ini melalui kawan-kawan.

Dalam tak sedar, kami mesra sebab dia ni easy going and manja.

We talked about a lot of things, and I felt really comfortable.

Aku suka kat dia... tapi takde lah sampai tahap tangkap feeling. Aku bukan jenis 'instant love'.

Anyway... right now, I have set in mind that keduanya kawan... masaalahnya... aku pun ingin berpunya.

So what do I do. Who do I even consider wanting to get closer with.

Go for someone yang keadaan diri dia almost familiar ngan my previous failure, walaupun bukan salah dia, tapi keadaan yang memaksa... ataupun someone yang seems to have the same goals and vision I do.I don't know whether it has something to do with some planetary alignment ke apa... but I think the concept of love right now is as wonky as they come.

Buggered if I'm going to go though this again.

Then again... who can turn away love when it creeps into your heart.

Pada yang mengusik - kalaulah kau mampu berterus terang denganku, apa antara kita dan leraikan persoalan apakah kemungkinan kami bersama...

Pada yang berbisik - aku harap ko faham... dilema aku sekarang. Hati aku belumpun sembuh, tapi sudahpun ia ingin kembali untuk bercinta dan mencintai

PS - Sorry nak update semalam tapi blogdrive wat hal. Ni tadi nak upload berkali-kali sangkut. Sorry kalau ada yang tak dapat view entry ni mula-mula.

My heart

Semalam was so hectic tak sempat update langsung walaupun hajat nak update.

Nampaknya baton da passing balik. Kalau from Mawi, balik ke Siti and so on... nampaknya ngan penghujung perjalanan semakin dekat cita Siti yang 'diakhiri' dalam media with the grand reception this Monday, Mawi da decide to take back the lead.
Yerlah... masuk balik paper sebab isu Ina... dan today, together ngan Rudy from Harian Metro, story aku front page on Mawi agik.

Citanya?

Simple.

TV3 kan 'caras' Astro, ngan Tiada Rahsia yang rating meletops time Akademi Fantasia.

Pastu meka dapat exclusivity tuk event Siti, dengar kisah sampai orang RTM tak dibenarkan wat liputan masa kat masjid aritu (tatau lak aku sebab tak perasan ada kekecohan apa pun walaupun ada yang katakan).

So nampaknya Astro dan RTM da bergabung tenaga nak kenakan balik TV3.

Mmm... mampu ke?

Tu lah yang sibuk sehari mencari cita, selepas ada 'sumber' yang menceritakan pasal benda ni.

So risik punya risik... dapat ler all this info. Tengok front page The Malay Mail ari ni for more info.

The war of ratings ni aku rasa expected, tapi aku cam kesian lak pihak Mawi dan gak pihak Ina sebab terpaksa membuka luka lama hanya kerana ada pihak yang nak kaut 'untung' ataupun untuk memperjuangkan agenda sendiri.

I can't imagine my break-up being publicised to this manner... I really think it's starting to get weird when people's break-up become primetime fodder. But then again I also think it's weird someone's wedding should also be primetime stuff... but then again... who am I to talk about it.

I have an invitation to the event....

Arghh...

So korang naik juling jer figure out nak tengok apa hari Isnin nanti... ker sampai lebam lah jari korang main remote control nak channel surfing kang. I bet you time iklan pun meka samakan so korang terpaksa pilih gak.

Well... so much for out dear Minister kata tanak sensationalistic news on TV. This along with Fenomena Seni... yeah right.

Bodoh tol...

Sampai bila lah mentaliti orang kita camni?

I agree with what some commented yang kalau RTM-Astro nak sensasi skang, panggillah ex wife Datuk Khalid terus, Tengku Zawyah (ke live dari Australia ke...) and then berbalas ngan interviews ngan Ramli MS, Zamani, Fazley, Anuar Zain....

Trashy la... but works better kan?

Tapi per pun... kalao korang nak tau sangat how to plan your night masa tu, ni jadual programming yang tak sah yang ada dikeluarkan di Harian Metro.

So semalam kelam kabut ler. Sampai semalam gi function Mawi pun kena rush balik awal selepas dah bisik nak interview sikit-sikit dulu sebab tak larat kejar deadline kalau event nak habis tengah malam.

Sepanjang perjalanan balik, layan lagu My Heart, nyanyian Irwansyah featuring Acha Septriasa... single dari soundtrack filem Indo baru yang akan ditayang kat pawagam soon bertajuk Heart.

Lagu My Heart tu, korang cuba cari... memang sedap. Walaupun sora Acha tak sedap sangat, but since both of them berlakon sekali dalam movie tu, ok ler.

Aku miss a creening of it that day, but there's one more on Tuesday...hopefully I'll be able to catch it lah.

One of the main reasons pun sebab ada Nirina Zubir in the cast. Alah... si Gwen dalam 30 Hari Mencari Cinta (cutenya dia... tapi dia nampak lain dalam filem ni sebab of the new hairdo kot). I like her acting, plus she really is friendly and bubbly... masa jumpa dulu tak sombong langsung!
Sampai balik opis je... kelam kabut ler lagi abih story.

Bukan apa... sebab asalnya ada meeting lain yang kena hadirkan diri pasal planning ada ler benda show yang kait mengait ngan Anugerah ERA kang.

Tapi seb baik the meeting got called off.

So sebab da pree sikit, terima jemputan join Faizal dalam studio tuk rakaman dia tuk album Raya yang akan dikeluarkan Maestro Records dalam masa terdekat.

All I can say is... erm... mak aih... dengar je, kalau time tu tak balik kampung korang... nangis ler gak.

Hung out later for a drink with Man after semua da balik (Faizal ada photography ngan Berita Harian kull 11 pagi, so memang dia kena rush balik nak cukupkan rehat).

Siang tadi aku memang tak sempat ke office in time because of some pressing engagement.

Malam sebelum pas gerak minum je, ingat alang alang nak wat photography ler ngan Faizal je for feature, tapi kansel lah sebab tak sempat. Faizal ada call 11.15 bagitau dia da sampai, tapi aku ada meeting lak time tu.

So by 12.30 meka da gerak nak gi semayang Jumaat, aku pun SMS Faizal kata lain kali je.

Dia pun ada kata jumpa malam ni je. Baru teringat... Fahmee pun ada kata wat make-up tuk photography ngan Maestro malam ni. Nampaknya... ada gak aktiviti aku malam ni.

Mana taknya, kalau tak malam ni patut berlepas ngan kawan-kawan ke Hatyai cuti over the weekend nak lepas stress sebelum kelam kabut agi Isnin ni uk cover wedding reception lak.

Tapi tak jadi... sebab passport aku tinggal empat bulan lagi. Since I need at least six months left before expiry, and hari tu gi Jakarta pun da ada problem (tapi nasib baik lepas gak)... malas take the risk again.

All I say is... Jabatan Immigration Port Klang is one of the MOST lembab punya government department ever. Dahler tak mesra langsung... binatang tul.

La la la... takper lah.l.. malam ni da ada plan. Sabtu pun ada da. Ahad day of rest kot. Kalau naik psycho, mungkin ke Perak join Hatta dan Fahmee tuk wedding kakak Hatta... this week belah laki lak.

Malam ni dan beberapa malam ni kena planning tuk show Anugerah ERA tu..so can't really gi mana-mana sangat pun,

By the way, korang da dengar kan lagu Drama dari Ning, Nikki dan Yanie? Puas tengok masuk Carta ERA terus nombor 16, second week terus nombor 7!

Tapi the best one... on Muzik Muzik.

Caramu dari Nikki dan Zahid minggu lepas di calonkan masuk dalam kategori Pop Rock dalam program Muzik Muzik. Minggu ni terus masuk carta... dalam posisi.... NOMBOR 1!!!!!

Bangga!!! Terima kasih semua yang mengundi!!! Especially all fans of Nikki and Zahid, of course the Pink family in peminat Nikki and the Orange family in ZA8FC! You guys rock!

Anyway...for some reason (I know why la... just malas to go into details. I just wanted to keep repeating My Heart the whole day, sebab I'm happy at the moment.

Well, happy would be an understatement.

That's what happens when in your gloomiest, darkest hours, you suddenly find a reason to smile when someone makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, ever ready waiting with a smile and a hug...hmmm...

Have a good weekend guys... despite my week not working out as planned... part of it is a good thing. Remember, cari lagu My Heart dan perdengarkan ok. Nak sambung angan (ke angau?) sat....

My Heart
Irwansyah feat Acha Septriasa

Disini kau dan aku
terbiasa bersama

Catatan Duka - dan sedikit yang menceriakan

A little trackback.

Ari Isnin, belah malam, pas abih segala kecoh belaka, aku drop by ofis ayah Farhan, sebab Farhan Friends' Club sekali ngan family Farhan wat surprise bagi dia and menjemput aku join.

Semua keluarga Akademi Fantasia musim keempat hadir, kecuali Faizal dan Lotter yang memasing sibuk.

Masa aku sampai pun da lebih kurang 10 malam da. Kebetulan sampai pun da nampak Diddy, Haziq dan Amirul nak ciao.

Sembang tepi jalan je la...

Sekali ngan birthday girl... naik atas tengok si Rich dan Velvet masih ada.

Meriah gak ler... sorry kalau tak sempat say hi ngan everyone, tapi pada sapa yang tegur tu, sorry ek kalau nampak tak larat sikit sebab memang tak larat sebenarnya pun.

Tak larat, dok sampai 2 lebih pagi sembang memacam ngan parents Farhan. Mak dan ayah dia memang mesra, dan yang aku paling salute, they really want the best in terms of Farhan's career.

Kekadang bila benda tuh berlaku, nampak cam campurtangan, tapi pengalaman ayah Farhan tak boleh diperlekehkan, and since he does know what he's talking about, it made me realise just how far Farhan will go with the support of her family.

Aku tak banyak amik gambar sebenarnya... nak kata betul-betul ni sekeping je amik. Bukan apa... tapi letih tak terhingga... balik malam tuh yang kena Xanax terus sampai KO.

But malam tuh ler si Rich, Velvet dan Farhan ada bagitau pasal rakaman Dari Studio 1 Akademi Fantasia 4 yang akan jalan esok, and they ajak to join, so I said I would think about it.

Yesterday pas blog semua, ajak orang gila join, tapi dia tak sempat, sebab banyak keja nak abihkan sebelum kami reramai cuti ke utara (padan muka tanak abihkan keja cepat!). Juan join lak sebab dia tengah pree pun.

Akibat dia feeling dia, janji nak join kul 7.30pm, aku dok terlopong nunggu sampai 8.40pm baru dia sampai.

Terus gegas ke Astro, berlainan keta sebab dia ada urusan pastu.

Abang Badrul da calling tanya kat mana, dan that they were going to start.

Jalan masuk ke entrance, ada sekumpulan rempit yang agaknya datang bukan sebab tarikan Akademi Fantasia, tapi sebab no life (entah warga Astro mana lak kutip kot ajak mai) because they were just uncouth, heckling at everyone walking past. Idiots...

Farish (mamat Durian Runtuh) kat entrance ngan Nana yang kalau tak silap aku wat Brek!, tegur... sempat ler dalam kelam kabut Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi katanya.

Masuk je, terkejut ngan ramai gak yang mai nonton. Puas lak tengok Farhan Friends' Club turned out in large numbers.

Again, more Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi, pastu tengok abang Badrul da peluk tubuh jeling sebab memang show masa tuh nak start.

Meriah punya meriah! Marsha ada sekali ngan abang Adi dari Maestro. Eh , Tasha ngan Hazama pun ada. Apa lagi... show jadi lagik meriah ler ngan pesta kat bahagian belakang studio kami semua joget lambat... sesi ngumpat etc.

The show was fun... nak ulas pun tak guna kan, sebab lambat agik sebelum tayang (mesti stok Raya), so korang tengok je kang.

Masa final song retake sekali lagi, kami semua gerak amik angin supaya elak crowd, and then lepak kat wardrobe area tunggu yang lain.

Dalam 10 ke 15 minit pastuh, bebudak semua muncul. Aku malas nak bangun sebab Farish tengah channel surfing the new channels yang akan ditambah kat Astro (dalam Astro da leh tengok dulu, kalau pelanggang 31 August je la dapat nonton). So layan...

Keluar je jadik mangsa. Terima kasih pada Marsha yang suka cubit aku, especially perut (mentang-mentang aku bulat!), semua bebudak ikut tabiat especially Lotter Amirul, Haziq, Faizal... aiyak... even Salima.

Abih lebam aku!!!!! Arghhh!!! Nasib baik doktor bagi ointment sekali.

Faizal mintak maap tak balas SMS wish dia Happy Birthday, ngadu dia letih. Kesian lak tengok budak ni.

Pastu ngadu kena kacau orang. Mana taknya... nombor handphone dia yang baru beli aritu masa dia call aku, rupanya da tersebar dan orang pelik-pelik entah dari mana call. Takde privacy. Seb baik dia dapat nombor baru private line seperti aku nasihatkan (sorang-sorang semua double line dah pun).

Dari kat belakang wardrobe, kami semua berpecah.

Farhan ikut family dia yang jemput. Bebudak pompuan lain in Zila, Salima, Karen da Nora ikut transport yang di bawa Man dari Maestro. Lotter naik ngan Rich, manakala Haziq dan Amirul naik ngan Diddy.

Selain dak pompuan ikut transport, bebudak rancang nak gi makan kat McDonalds kat luar highway tak jauh dari Astro. Diddy, Rich dan Haziq ajak join sekali.

"Abang, ikut kereta abang ek."

Eh eh... apa salahnya Faizal. Tapi masaalahnya Faizal nak balik, so aku bagitau ler kita nak gi melantak dulu beramai. Lagikpun dia ngadu lapar sebelum tu.

Tapi sebab dia ada rakaman Dari Studio 1 esoknya (ari ni) dan juga dia kata kena pindah rumah (dia skang dok serumah Haziq, Amirul dan Lotter) sebab kena dok ngan sedara mara dari Melaka or something like that, dia kena lah forego the plan.

Kesian lak...bagus la ada sedara mara tengok-tengokkan dak tu, tapi kekadang tengok rasa terkongkong lak.

Dia lagikpun da of legal age, he needs to be allowed to mature ma.

No harm to our plans.... kami semua yang lain serang McDonalds, termasuk Farish and friend

Ni pics kemeriahan kat sana. Pas abih baru terperasan, alamak pic Rich takde lak. So Rich, sorry dude....tak sengaja!!! Peminat Rich jangan marah kata aku saja tak amik pic dia lak tau!

The best pic aku suka? Si Amirul perli berlakon on the phone, sebab Velvet kena laser ngan aku sebab hobi bergayut dia.

Aduh.. pecah perut semua gilir-gilir dikenakan macam-macam. Eh Dora... ada gak? Rajin speeding katanya nak join sebab member bagi tip-off pasal kehadiran bebudak kat McD (Dora ni pembaca blog aku). Hah... sempat... jangan kata aku tak introduce!

Adi... ko jangan panas ek!!!Asik kena mangsa je ngan semua... (gelak evil of the evilest!!!)
Balik malam tuh, berSMS ngan Faizal ngan nombor baru dia yang diberikan, yerlah... kesian dia ditinggalkan camtuh. Nak wat per, da nama champion, tugas dia yang diaturkan tak munasabah pun, terpaksa.

Faizal ajak gi sokong dia tuk Dari Studio 1, aku pun tak pasti nak cakap apa. Try jer lah ek Pejal... apapun ko ramai peminat, tak kurang jeritan. Tapi sempat ler marah dia gi tido... da kalau tak muka kelebaman pastuh.

Why tell all these details? Sebab fanatics... korang nak cakap apa, silakan je. (gelak sambil tercekik asap rokok ni)

Ari ni ada assignment. Pelancaran buku Catatan Duka Diana Naim.Yeap... Ina (lebih dikenali sebagai Bert disini), ada release buku pasal kisah trauma dia. Suka atau tak suka, I think you guys should pick up the book.

Setiap masaalah ada dua belah cerita, and keduanya ada kebenaran. So I think you just need to listen to the other side too.

Aku bukan kesian ngan Ina, tapi kagum in a way sebab she is strong, no matter how you look at it.

Aku rasa kesian... simpati... semua tuh takyah la.

Ina cukup tabah tanpa sebarang keperluan tuk tuh semua... she has to prove herself, and I'm glad to say that she is appearing to be more independant, away from nama Mawi.

Malah buku ni katanya akan menjadi kali terakhir tuk dia sebut nama Mawi, tuk give her side of the story.

Pas interview , saja usik amik pic kak Shana layan interview ngan Ina (tagline : Entahlah kak Shaaanarrrrr - merasalah carutan Farihad).

Today kalao sempat abihkan keja, singgah ler usha show Faizal (atas jemputan tuan badan, bukan merempuh - lawak...lawak)

So I'll end today's entry ngan tribute to Siti ni in photographs. Terima kasih, and credit to TV3 as well as teman-teman lain for these photographs. Bermula ngan saat cincin disarungkan, the planted kiss of the husband on the bride on the forehead until their first pics as husband and wife. Enjoy....and again, selamat pengantin baru Datin Siti Nurhaliza dan Datuk Khalid Mohamad Jiwa.

By the way, pada meka yang mulot poaka (termasuk aku) tapi especially Fiebie, ni pesanan penaja dari Siti kat sebelah.

Jangan nak carut-carut tiara dia tau!

Mana taknya dia pakai tiara, designer pun Radzwan Radzwill (merasalah jadi crown IQP ke Miss Wilayah akan datang terus! - matilah aku kena bunuh che dung dan mama Rossa)

Ok guys... am signing off today. Got a little more work to finish off.
Plus tomorrow gotta go Immigration, nak renew balik passport (gi Jakarta tuh pun da kurang dari enam bulan - kena valid for another six months at least from tarikh expiry kalau nak travel)

Thursday one more day of work, Friday is usually more laid back (mintak nothing happens) and then belah malam, I'm off to a short, but still well-deserved holiday to Thailand!

Yeah!!!

Pada Pak Besaq and his soulmate : jangan ler komen apa-apa pada media lagik ek. Nak cuti sangat ni... kalau tak, kena kelam kabut mai opis dok sampai tengah malam agik....
