Crybaby!

Diari Akademi Fantasia 6 - Minggu 6 Hari 2

Nampaknya semua sibuk prepare rehearsal pelbagai. Uwaa... hardworking betol ek. Well they bloody should! A few more eliminations and it's the damn final da and so far aku lum cukup kuota nak isi lime orang dalam final (lima ke.. heh!)

Gen work with the boys and ugut sapa one note jer out kena lukis muka. Takot sekor sekor. Nubhan yang first ngaku mesti dia kena.

Stacy yang kena lagu No Doubt terus kena betulkan English with kak Fati. She's not horrific like some of the others, so I think she's hardly having any major problems.

Dalam semua sibuk, sempat Nubhan tido mati tengah dance floor. Seriously... so hardworking.

Sediakan kain kapannnnnn...


More sessions - this time Siti Hajar with Toi. Same problems week in week out. Ada ke beza.

Riz lak, expectedly takde problem sangat sebab lagu Seribu Tahun makanan dia. Nadia pun, though she doesn't quite get the song for some reason.

Rina was a little kejung and getting more club singer by the end of the day.

As usual, Toi, Riz takde keja so sembang, joined by Stanly. Usual b*tching pasal seseorang dapat lagu besh... umpat sapa? Nadia? Stacy? Or Rina again? Whatever la... So expected.

Gossip session with Bedah dan Timah


Next scene, Alif yang sakit kaki sebab cedera two concerts ago lompat dari pentas, as well as Rina yang still tak sembuh sembuh lagik.

Linda's classes with new choreography. Amik ko Stanly slide. Kenderaan berat sila ikut kiri!!!!

Stacy lak in the final scene sembang ngan camera pasal kesusahan family dia. I love her to bits, but cry me a river darling. Everyone has a sob story.. and aku paling pantang kalao that becomes a factor in voting.

Second Diari. Riz kata silap wish sebab dad dia nya birthday not mom dia. Yawn... so more cam whoring time!

Tongue twister, Selma sings the theme song.
Yellow leather, yellow feather, yellow lemon.
And Twinkle, twinkle little star.

Expectedly horror la sekor sekor train wreck.
Nubhan menakutkan.. as well as Toi, how surprising.

Kelas Syafie...Alif seems to be having problems with his song, Nadia pun sikit. Oops.. bung Ramli da masuk da.
Nubhan, Stanly, Alif yang di check, Nubhan paling teruk.
Ramli pon ngamuk da nih...
Nubhan lak ngamuk, "Saya da practise dahhhhh!"
Panas terus bung. Amik ko lecture! Bung kata dia pilih kasih atas prestasi, sapa yang perform jerk dapat favours.

More sessions with Stacy and kak Fati.
Eh? Apa nih?? Challenge Peel Fresh? Aiyo!!!! Time waster! Bung Ramli!!! Stop them, please!
Stanly menang a mini fridge... woohoo!

Bung Ramli ngamuk ngan kamera lak. Sampai dia nak cabut wayar kamera. And he really did... attempt to at least.

Kutip kena mintak ampun dan kata I lap you pengetua nak di ampunkan. Amik ko!

The five boys grouped. Biasalah Nubhan ngadu la kena hamun ngan pengetua nak nangis. Gi mampuih ler.. lombab tui la bebudak laki musim ni. The girls are so much more gutsier.

Spank me, mama!

Diari Akademi Fantasia 6 - Minggu 6 Hari ketiga

Wow... banyak technical terms ari nih belajar dari bung Ramli. I'm starting to love the proses pembelajaran.

Big retard? Erm.. something else comes to mind.. but never mind that.

Aku tengok bebudak sparuh mati nak wat exercise. I think most of them think coming into the Akademi, meka mesti tak bayangkan this amount of teaching they would have to undergo.
Ni baru Akademi namanya. Thank you Ramli MS for showing people how hard it is to become a singer because banyak benda sangat nak apply.

Stacy dipuji tapi Nubhan dikeji sebab mendatar jerk keja.

Oh wow... two minutes of classes shown... and three minutes lak masa bagik Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan dalam Diari pulak nak sesi motivasi dalam uniform Mayfirst dia. Hmmm...

Merasalah Sarimah punya sign of Mayfirst... lambang sejati! Bagi penumbuk ke tunjuk kekuatan lain tuh. Heh.. kalao ko otak kuning, mesti ko pikir apa just crossed my mind.

Mayfirst? Sarimah... what do you think? Lambang sejati?


Banyak benda nampaknya take time ketika pembelajaran bebudak, but kalao jemputan cam kumpulan Matta ok la. At least nampak langit dan bumi kemampuan bebudak ni.

Alif nyanyi aku nak kuar airmata darah, tapi when the band nyanyi awmigawd!! Sedapnya! And yang penting, humble. Vocalist Matta (haper ek nama dia) kata, " Tapi yang penting, suara kalian lebih bagus dari saya." Katanya... walaupunnnnn...

Cam whoring session with Riz... yawn.

Dia kicked off sesi bantai Kutip and Stacy and Stanly join. Puas agik tengok Siti Hajar ala pukul Stanly ngan kayu tuh. Leh tak bebetul bantai?

Stanly in his favourite position?


Dancing with Linda Jasmine lak.. si Stanly feeling light as a feather and hurt himself bila jatuh cam nangka busuk. Terus kena tangan sakit takyah nari. Pandai!!!

Dah tau muatan berat nak feeling landing berat badan kat tangan tuh.

Terus ke hospital lagik. Nih cam nak lawan musim lepas jerk nak jadi Diari Hospital. Yawn...

Kelas Genervie.

Nubhan terus lari tempo, as usual.Rina lak hit the wrong notes. In the end, yang da kata sapa salah akan kena conteng moka. Aku tengok semua kena.

A session with umi Fauziah.

Nadia seems to be doing ok, though I think dia kurang sikit feel dia. It was expressionless, Riz was decent - walaupun drama memang forte dia ngan emo over.

Then meka cita pasal Alif yang takde gi wat lawatan wajib bebudak musim ni ngan doktor, rupanya dia kena operate tempurung lutut dia or something.

Back to the class, Rina lak, which I thought was.. erm.. still kelab malam. Not too bad, but...erm.
Toi cita pasal konon wife dia suka dia masuk Akademi, sebab dia behenti rokok. Who cares?
In kak Nita punya sesi, the diva tanya kenapa ada yang masih improvement nan ado.
As usual, alasan beribu, Toi being the first to offer excuses.

Back to the hospital tunjuk Alif kena MRI. Amik ko doktor semua soka la glam asik kuar Diari katanya.

Lengthy detailed medical explanation later - summary nya dia takleh nari. Pendek kata sorang agik sorang agik OKU ler takkan nari.

Then back to the Akademi, focus on 'penyakit' Nubhan nak goyang ke kiri kanan jerk. And supposedly Stanly pun ikut. And the significance of that?

Last scene tunjuk Stanly practise.. and then Riz... oh God! Sakit telinga! Nubhan lari tempo AS USUAL.

I give up... until tomorrow...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Diari Akademi Fantasia Minggu 6 Hari 1

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

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

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

Stacy wish adik dia a belated 12th birthday

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ni lagu tugasan minggu nih.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Anugerah Planet Muzik

Ari ni sedih sikit sebab... erm.. nanti la aku cita in esok nya posting. But antara sebabnya is tak dapat nak take pics of lepak ngan kengkawan masa Anugerah Planet Muzik cause I lost/misplaced my camera.

Malas nak cita bebanyak pon... I'm sure you guys would have caught the show... If not, you didn't miss much as I can safely say, APM is the most boring event ever!

Mungkin sebab kat negara kita da banyak sangat acara camni kot... even though performances kat APM were quite good, but I dunno... cam ada je yang tak kena.

Actually banyak ler tak kena... tapi malas go on.

Just enjoy the pics guys courtesy of Leesya yang freelance. Ada gak kengkawan nak sumbangkan ek pics tuk aku dalam time tension camera lak ilang.

Konsert Akademi Fantasia 6 - Minggu 5

Ok, so this is it. The halfway point I was talking about di mana tuk aku da nampak persembahan siapa yang leh pakai and so on. Tapi dari segi talent, only two out of the total of fourteen kids je really leh pakai, which is Stacy and Nadia.

Lain tuh, bukan takleh nyanyi atau takde bakat, tapi serba serbi tak cukup. And in this business kalao nak tunggu ko develop too slow, everything moves on without you. So tough la nak catch up.

Yer... mungin korang pening kenapa bahasa cam kureng mencarut minggu ni. Well, honestly, I am getting tired. Carut tiap minggu pon takde beza.

Undian tetap tak menggambarkan kualiti. Stanly is still in, and so is Toi, Nadia lak gagal nak menang hati pengundi when in reality from consistency dan persembahan she should be top two with Stacy.

It's frustrating, and more often than not - a joke, a mockery to the music industry.

Ok ok...terlebih sudah... heh... nak go on with the review of the concert.

Minggu ni cam banyak problem dari segi production side when it comes to the technical side.

Masa intro pon fade in fade out... then perlu ke aku sebut time Alif tuh dengar sora Adam tengah discuss ngan sapa ntah when dia masuk... rosak kejutan yang tak seberapa tuh...
Anyway minggu ni aku simpan pam jamban dan sebagainya... minggu ni nak happy and positive rating skit. Dengan pakai smileys jerk!

Leh?

Skali skala wat baik la sikit. Lagikpon the past few days ada a lot of things yang has been good for me and I am feeling very positive. How long it will last after berdarah bernanah telinga aku tatau la... but skali skala forgiving ler sikit review kan.. kan... kan...

Starting with pengkritik, this week aku nak bagik rating pada Hetty Koes Endang!!! Teruja aku tengok dia komen. She had every singe point pointed out with precision, and yet with tact.

Dengan membuat orang ketawa pun, she managed to raise a lot of points in my mind. By the way, this week, aku adopt the stance that if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all (abih la kalao totally camtuh takde review langsung! So tetap kritik ler light light)
I thought this was one week where we got to see how real critics musically judge each person.

Pening orang kata Stanly dan Toi leh improve with that crap they dished out.
Read between the lines of what Hetty said. Sua carutan dia yang very the read between the lines. Tapi sayang ler carutan dia pun orang anggap pujian especially dalam kes Nubhan. Heh.... like I always say... ignorance is bliss, and sarcasm is wasted on the stupid.
So ibu Hetty, for that wonderful, professional performance.. I give you a five star salute!

(5/5 for being the only pengkritik musim ni yang perfect evaluation)

The overall show was... erm... well I liked the Diplomats of Drum yang open the show. I don't understand the Sean Khanna part, or the Anugerah Senyum or even Juliana and other triggers that just wasted time, makan masa yang would have been better spent on pengkritik cam Hetty yang lebih power and should have been given more airtime.
So overall...

(1/5 for still thinking orang cam bebudak for all the silly triggers and numerous other things wasting time)

Now on to the performances. Like contoh contoh di atas, aku rate kan persembahan bebudak with smileys... in an effort to try and be more positive. This week jerk! Let's start with the first.



ALIF
Hai
Erm... he doesn't have the moves, nor did he have the attitude. Seriously dia bak lagu nih cam hampeh sangat. I mean it wasn't horrible, tapi cam moisturizer sikit ah (as in pelembab... lembab... get the picture?)

Pecah perot la dia nak cuba nari.. aduh.. konsep tarian haper tuh???

Alif memang favourite aku antara the boys, sebab dia ada commercial potential. Not to be huge, but at least ada la masa depan. Sayang, aku masih pecah pala what genre dia leh bak ngan emosi dia yang nan ado tiap kali dia perform.

(2/5 for persembahan biasa biasa je...)




STANLY
Umi
What the #$%^ do you say about this tub of lard!!! Geram ok tak terhingga dia ni masih dok dalam Akademi. Week after week of contrived performances yang menggelikan!

Aku tak paham ada yang leh kata dia improve. Berbuih mulot aku nak carut dia... bengkak jari jemari aku nak type carutan demi carutan. Nak wat camna... pengundi yang mengundi dia memang tak berhabis on checking their hearing or vision kot sampai sanggup nak spend on this hobbit.

Fifth performance.... fifth kehancuran!

Shoo already!!!

(-4/5... memang ramai nangis bila dia dendangkan lagu nih.. but I'm not sure for the right reasons)



NADIA
Kalis Rindu
She did quite well, tapi ada something missing from her performance that I just can't quite put my finger on. Cam forgettable sikit.

Tapi dari segi suara dan persembahan, I think her vibe je was a little off... just a little. Lagu nih whimsical but at times she seemed to be trying too hard.

Still the second best performance for the night. I like it and I hope pengundi pandai la sikit... undian dia tetap among the bottom ones. At this rate, kemungkinan dia akan tercicir dari senarai top five no thanks to the undeserving who make it due to other factors.

But hey... this is Akademi Fantasia...

(3/5 for being above average.. tapi... hmmm... missing that x factor in her persembahan)




RINA
Sorga Dan Neraka
Entah kenapa tapi aku rasa cam kat kenduri kahwin. It was interesting to see how dull she made the song. Hetty bukak molot jap jer da nampak a world of difference, despite minus the music and walaupun just one line.

It was just mediocre.... very karaoke and just lacked any real effort dari bunyi.

Kesian. The past few weeks dia ni cam lackluster and just... erm.. setakat mengisi ruang kosong jer dalam Akademi.

Not bad.. but not good either.

(1/5 for practically putting me to sleep, and then mengejutkan aku ngan dia nya nada tinggi yang mengilai)



TOI
Beautiful Girl
I felt suicidal over this. Rasa tetiba nak ludah je kat stage ngan sound effect HAAAAAAAKkK - TOIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!. Malas nak cakap apa apa. Wat malu jerk la orang cam dia can make the stage.

Don't undrstand the pop yeh yeh approach in costume and choreography of his dancers. Don't get his amateur performance at all.Everything was so wrong about him and his performance.
Takpela... aku anggap ni la segmen badut... gelak jerk.

(-4/5 for being a joke. Nak -5 sebenarnya tapi bagi discount sebab aku have fun laughing at him)



SAIDA
Bila Bunga Bunga Berguguran
Her lack of confidence was her own undoing. Sayang dia kuar dulu minggu nih, sebab aku rasa banding ngan Toi dan Stanly yang takde peningkatan, she should have gone out after them.
Vocally decent, tapi shaky. Her body language pun kurang engaging. Overall, so so performance. Bak kata bung Ramli, progress dia slow sangat.

Still I maintain she has the most commercial value vocally as well as a package to make it kalao dia nak despite the age handicap.

(2/5 for making me feel emo jap sebab lagu ni banyak kenangan)



NUBHAN
Kembali Senyum
Dari saat dia bermula sampai habis, he was just wrong. Aiyo...korang dengar balik la nyanyian dia kat sebelah nih. Screw orang kata dia tone sedap... nyanyi hancur. Lum agik dia lemaukan lagu ni.. walaupun lagi ni memang pun lemau da.

Him, Stanly and Toi should be the next for elimination.

Bukan je no progress, smakin regress ada lah...

(-3/5 pengsan dengar dia and tengok seluar dia... bai ikat ngan tali rafia jer)

STACY
Makhluk Tuhan Paling Seksi
WOW!!!! This is the first performance musim ni aku rasa nak pengsan... lotih den tengok Stacy menari, ke sana sini.. my God!!!

Suara dia a little off here and there, but she more than made up for it with her sharp movements yang memang frantic.

Throw in her professionalism of execution and I can even forgive sebutan dia SEKHHHHHHHH-SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....

Dalam lima minggu, Stacy da manage to come up to the point where she is a lot better than even some pro singers. A definite threat to a lot of artistes, Stacy is definitely a superstar in the making! Full package in that little dynamite of a sex bomb!

(5/5 peluhhhh wooo tengok dia jerk...)

RIZ
Time Is Running Out
What the hell is "ROWWWWWWRRR time is running out"? It's OUR time la ngok! EVERY line dia pronounce as ROWRRRRRR!!!

Not only that banyak sangat sebutan berterabur. DEATH not DEADDDDD.... CAN'T not can...MURDER not MUTHDER...

Lyrics pun mistakes here and there... I wanted freedom jadi I want to feel the... bound and restricted jadi current retricted or something like that.

Sorry but this is one of my favourite songs, but he sucked big time at it. Delivery wise it came across as a dangdut singer trying to be rock. Just wrong.

I have no idea why anyone would be speechless over this performance.

Erm... kenapa ada video clip tuh ek yang menampilkan Korie tuh. What's with the public toilet ad? Sebab dia ni mulot jamban? Owh... most probaby.

(2/5 for being simply overrated)

Menuju Puncak minggu ni tak kuasa aku nak bagik rating. Biasa biasa jer. At this point I already expect something outstanding in terms of vocals and choreography. Apa yang meka lakukan we should have seen three concerts ago. Not too bad.. but so two weeks ago standard yang sepatutnya.

Arghhh... time to turn in.... esok ada Anugerah Planet Muzik lak. And I still have the other stuff I'm up to. Nanti aku cita ek...

Sambll baca tuh layan la lagu lagu persembahan kat sebelah and listen again for what I mean.
Ciao!

Buasiiiiiiiirrrrr!!!!!

Day 5

Mula jerk Diari da promo time lagik. Merasalah Mayfirst Body Contour Gel. Anyone want to look like Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan? Erm... ke duta terbaru si Stanly?

Stanly - duta baru Mayfirst Body Contour Gel. Makes you just want to get it now and use it for the similar results kan? Matilah!!!!


Let's move on to jer to Syafie's class.

Riz - faux rock star wannabe alert...
Nubhan - I hope he has plans for a proper job at the end of the day after Akademi Fantasia.
Nadia - is she losing her voice... hopefully she gets it cause dia cam struggle sikit.

Pas drama Riz dan Stanly, Rina decided to get into the action ngan moka cam susah hati sambil bubbling.

When ada orang lain dapat spotlight, expect Riz to be there. Nak feeling nyanyi Kaulah Segalanya tuh kenapa? Lagu tugasan akan datang? Harapan nak get the genre he wants? Honestly, tu aku kata poser gila style nyanyi.. R&B wannbe biasa la kalao da kena irama tak diminati.

Nubhan dan Toi start ngumpat pasal the strongest. Toi berangan nak ada lagu, ada album sendiri. Wonder sapa la yang nak beli... lagik rela aku tunggu album Sallih Yaacob yang baru.

Kelas Siti Hajar.

Toi - still cam budak taska flat nak mampos. Honestly.. sebutan pun nak montah je dengar. To make it BEDDER katanya...
Stanly - lum konsert da berdarah aku dengar dia the moment dia bukak mulot dia. Takpe.. maybe The Lord Of The Rings ada role tuk Asian hobbit in the next sequel... at least they'll save on special effects and make up.
Riz, Toi dan Saida dapat hadiah pas challenge masak cucur arituh. Elok.. hadiahnya main game katanya. Keji... ni Akademi haper nih.
Stacy was asked by the camera to repeat a line in English. Merasalah katanya, ... faraway land.. a fairy etc.

Si Stanly lak sibuk ballerina nak twirl pelbagai. Elok lah tuh. Memang FAIRY pun. FERRY pun boleh.

Erm... wat per tuh Stanly... merasalah Kembara Di Tanah Gersang tajuk lagu...


The fairy in action


Nokia promo time ngan semua wat exercise layan phone.

Nak nangis aku English memasing.

Gelak sat tengok Riz trying to perform Muse punya Time Is Running Out. Tapi time pecah perot masa Toi wat Beautiful Girl. Hopeless... simply hopeless.

Last scene for the first Diari - not too bad la Alif. Tapi still no personality in his performance. Dia nih camna nak get some emotion out of him. Nak bawak Tasha kot. Oops.. tersebut gosip lain lak. Ehem...

Part two, Diari episod ke 50 ... memang kelas! Aku tak kisah la orang nak cakap aku nih baik ngan Sarimah ke haper ke. The thing is Sarimah as predicted has been doing really well and think because of her, as well as production team Diari Akademi Fantasia tahun ni, the show has been one of the best, even though kekaang menyampah plugging sponsor pelbagai or those very the tak perlu scenes yang nagih simpati involving Stanly.

Happy 50th... erm... episode....


Congratulations to the team.. dengar pon rating meledak gila babs punya. Keep it up to everyone on the Diari team, and let's see more stuff.

The Diari ari nih open ngan komen bebudak to the camera pasal ther preparation and what they expect.

Yang nak gelak si Riz kata Muse band alternative katanya.. merasalah! Muse is a rock band, or more specifically, quoting wikipedia, a blend of alternative, hard rock, progressive rock, classical music and electronica to help form the new sub-genre of new prog under the rock sound. Menci tol asalkan ada guitar and melodic je orang kata alternative. Shows ignorance about genres of music.

Nak gelak lagik kata Toi problem rahang blah blah blah... hopeless!

Si Stanly provided more humour with janji dia takkan hancur. Promises... promises.

There was a little goofing about, with everyone performing in front of each other sambil tunggu evaluation tenaga pengajar.Stanly did his stupid go go boy routine sambil melalak...

Time orang lain lak tetap dia nak feeling enter frame wat show Patpong.

Tapi gelak lak aku tengok meka semua kaco Stacy melatah. Alif lak pecah lobang terikut. Rina pon.

Manjanya Stacy... makan hati Stanly...


Kan da kata... mesti try get attention Alif tuh. BUASIIIIIIRRRR (looks like it too)


Tapi time camni la nampak ada yang tak ngam. Very subtle but kalao orang leh tengok balik video korang dapat nampak sapa langsung tak berinteraksi.

I don't get the part meka nak try kuarkan nama Siti lagik bila provoke Saida nak cakap pasal family. Fast forward.

Saida... so sweet... ok lar, tuh....!!!


Kejutan tamu istimewa, Taufik Batisah. Me likey! Thank God not the asinine idol. Bagus la ajak Taufik because he is an examplary performer and definitely THE BEST Singaporean export musically.

Taufik... a real Idol. Warm, humble and talented.


Evaluation time.

Malas nak repeat everything. I think semua da tau standard siapa kat mana... so sama jerk.
Stacy and Nadia nampak smakin jauh. I hope this year final dua orang je leh? Pastu both girls berlawan. Erm.. aku cakap camtuh sebab meka dua the best undoubtedly. Tapi jangan terkejut kalao ikut undian Nadia nampak cam tak kuat walaupon peminat dia kuat bersuara. We'll just have to see.

Tengah evaluation, meka cita pasal badi pengetua sebab semua takot nervous pelbagai katanya.
Wait until meka masuk industri muzik sebenar. Then merasalah... baru meka tau dok dalam Akademi lama lama walaupun tak layak, terjual ke album meka atas peminat fanatik. SMS lain dari jualan album... orang leh undi banyak kali, Album? Berapa keping CD ko sanggup beli demi sokong. Tu pun kalao beli.. kalao download?

Anyway... here's to tomorrow...


PS - Got an amusing, emotional call ari ni. Seriously pelik tol some people want to talk about professionalism tapi nan ado. Prove me wrong. tuh jerk. Malas nak cakap sapa call but not surprising.

Sponsor savvy... NOT!

Day 4

Hari bermula ngan Riz melantak tak abih. Merasalah walau kena carut ngan kamera pon tetap sumbat muka tak reti henti. This from the person yang leh kurang berat badan terus ngan skali buang katanya. Merasalah!

Motif mulot penoh... dah used to it kot.. oops!


Aiyo... looks like it's drama queen week. Stanly lak nak lepaskan perasaan dia pasal his mom kepada kengkawan. Anyone keep count tak how many times dia dan Riz ni da nangis dalam Akademi?
Meka ni memang paling cenggeng la musim ni. First time dak laki overdose nangis je keja... laki ke? Ops... lari dulu sebelom kena carut peminat taksub!

Stany menangis.. mengejutkan!!!!


From ngadu to Stacy, he managed to get Nadia and Nubhan's attention skali nak dipuji. More and more on Stanly... boring!

And because of all - in Umi's kelas, go around the circle everyone start nak kata rindu keluarga pelbagai. Honestly... as if they didn't know being in the Akademi they would be away from it all.
Had to put up with Toi nyanyi cam bebudak kindergarten sangat. Arghhh!!! Out out out!!!

Spot check!

Stacy - wow! I am so sure she will do so fine!
Riz - Karaoke! Bosan lagu rock jadik lagu lemau dalam Akademi... next! Thank goodness bung Ramli tegur pasal intonasi.
Nadia - no major problems.
Saida - She looks spaced out.She didn't do too bad.. tapi entahlah.
Alif - Pecah perut aku gelak! Aiyo! Tu ke nama nya tarian. Cam kena sawan pon ada. Spasmic siot.... heh! Matilah kejung katanya!
Toi - *zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
Rina - not too difficult for her, but that's the problem kot sebab dia too comfortable and ended up too kelab malam.
Stanly - perlu ke komen sedangkan never ada dfference?

More drama with Riz and his standard three English. Playing ngan camera lak... oh well.. kanak kanak kurang zat (tapi terlebih galian lagik punya pasal nih)

PROMO TIME!!!!
Minah ni masuk nak promo barangan Garnier.
Herb? The H is silent, darling.
Cleanser? Toner? Moisturizer? Erm... I'll stick to my trusted Biotherm, thank you.
Matilah Garnier jadik GARNER bila ngan Toi. Ingat Jennifer Garner ker?

Would you buy anything from her?


Ras Adiba Radzi masuk Akademi lak cita ngan bebudak.. erm.. oh nevermind. Erm... won't go there, but fill in the blanks about what I think ek.

Owh oh... fashion Nazi da masuk!
"Jasmi tatau macamana nak tegur."
Matilah ko katanya susah nak dapat baju katanya. Oh well... such a good stylist - nak play dietician.
"Bukan main main beb..." Uwaaa... amik ko. Ganas wo!
It's people like him who make the industry so superficial and shallow and so unnecessary. Especially when they suck at it.

Part two of the Diari. I have a question kenapa Stanly tuh slalu sibuk singing along lagu orang lain sedangkan lagu sendiri lom agik betol.

PROMO TIME!
Merasalah bazir masa nak kena lecture pasal product Peel Fresh katanya. Seriously...
Wonder what these kids think of when they have to be part of this unpaid endorsement to them? Jadik duta juice... merasalah!
Terima kasih Peel Fresh! Now can we move on?

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Skang endorsement KFC lak, with Riz and Rina getting breakfast for the rest. Aiyo!!!! So much for diets.

KFC ke opera cina nih???


Soalan cepumas minggu ni.
"Adakah kita slow banding ngan yang lain?" tanya Toi.
Merasalah umi Fauziah Nawi mencelah terus kata, "Memang korang slow tau! Korang slow macam takde the fire tau tak, korang tak nampak macam excited nak wat show. AF2 tuh memang very creative, energetic, ada je nak buat."

Tau pun orang kata korang teruk. You mean you expect praise for your performances, Toi?
Delusional katanya...

SPOT CHECK!

Laughable sebab bung Ramli bagik exercise happy birthday pun susah. Merasalah.
Nubhan couldn't even get the melody right. Rina pun get the melody right pun problem.
Aiyo... perlu ke Stanly nak ajar orang lain? Dia feeling dia Bob ke? Bob dulu enter frame ajar orang pun sebab dia bagus. Ni dia nak ajar Nubhan ngan sora overdose nan ado. No wonder la Nubhan smakin teruk...

Blind leading the blind


Selingan sat tengok Stacy berlatih nari tuk lagu dia. Such a sight for sore eyes... and ears.
Then on to Menuju Puncak. Tiba tiba semua serious - bung Ramli dok memerhati terus semua focus. Leh?

Rina kena basuh sikit sebab nak buang her habits in singing and performing.
I think we're done for today. Aduh,.. seb baik only just a little more than four more weeks to go.

Drama fest

Day 3

What the...


Would you buy a certai brand of instant noodles because they plugged it in Akademi Fantasia? Didn't think so....

Moving on.. meka finally tunjuk shot bak Stanly, dari Akademi pagi pagi buta at 5am, to KLIA, to his home. So much was centred on the drama over his mother's condition yang nampak cam final stages of her cancer.

Aku malas nak komen lebih-lebih bab nih. Even though meka add disclaimer dalam Diari pasal benda nih bukan pasal nak nagih simpati, you think that makes a difference? I may sound like a heartless b*tch, tapi at the end of the day, enough of the drama!

Stanly has not been performing and I just don't want to see him get votes from this, which he undoubtedly will.

I mean, when you show an ailing mother near death, interviews with family members and airmata sana sini.. what would you expect?

Plus the attention on the matter ngan relation of his situation pada tenaga pengajar and kengkawan... aduh... da smaking jadi Bersamamu TV3 da.

Dia dedicate lagu Umi pada mom dia kang, kita tengok la camna...

But for me, undian dia tak deserving so far for four weeks of crap and no amount of drama will help to make him a singer.

On to classes, the key lesson for today is about 'downbeat'.

Most of the students appear to be doing better this week, and if the progress keeps up, I think minggu nih kira comeback concert for them to shine after the snore fest last week.
The tenaga pengajar are coming down hard of the kids. and focus camera kali ni pada Nadia, Alif dan Saida.

Tapi yang ketara, ari ni Siti Hajar and kak Nita punya sessions. Wish the kids would start absorbing what they're taught. Apart from Stacy and Nadia, yang lain cam susah sangat nak masuk apa di ajar tuh.

Drama for the week, nampaknya sengketa antara Riz dan Rina tak over lagi WALAUPUN dipaksa minta maap segala. You just can't keep a good b*tch down....

Rina : Dulu timbang, 59, terus turun, happy ah. Bawa ke tengah, eh naik pulak. Bingung saya rasa.
Shafiq : Kenapa nak salahkan timbang ke?
Riz : Meja ni tak salahkan, meka ni terima seadanya, Yang sebelah yang salahkan timbang.
Shafiq : Berat badan naik saja nak salahkan timbang.
Riz : Kan... terima sajalah...redha...

Malas nak layan komen orang, nanti orang lain lak nak defend katanya kata orang tuh honest pebagai... WALAUPUN! Lotih nak carot dik oi,,, kalao da hopeless nak wat camna...

The know-it-all smart aleck pastuh feeling aerobic tau.. si Stacy nak practise dia nak nyibuk. Last last Stacy kata, "kau umpama gaah yang menghimpit semut!" when they collided.

More drama. Tetap feeling nak comment pasal Saida lak.
Riz : Memang tone lain, tapi ada sedikit, kadang kadang ada sedikit sama.
Saida : Tak... kak Siti tu amik sora akak. Akak lahir dulu tau.

Heh.. suka jawapan Saida.
Anyway, all that negtive drama appears to have karma coming his way. In the form of male pattern baldness. Kan da kata kejendulan ya amat!

More b*tching, more hair loss kot. Wonder if anyone has done a study on that before. Elok la muda muda da licin. Leh join Nubhan.

Licin wooo!!!! Berkilat!

.. you're still... macam turkey tau tak!

Today another Speedy Gonzales day. Ke LHDN one more round nak declare my taxes sambungan from semalam. Korang da ke lom? Deadline 30 hb April tau! Naya je kena denda.

Kalao yang up to date, unlike me, 2007 punya senang gila, pakai e-filing. Kalao korang biasa lepak depan laptop ke PC slalu blogging ke chatting ke mencarut mengutuk orang dalam forum ke... mesti sap sap suwey punya la. No hal.. jap da settle.

I did my 2007 taxes in 10 minutes flat. And that was siap nak asking pasal terminology yang aku tak paham agik.

Meanwhile, it took me two trips sebab kena balik retrieve some documents (seb baik LHDN Klang tuh kira lima minit je dari rumah aku), but I finally got my tax returns sorted out beginning from 1997 sampai 2006 settled. Amik ko!

Lebih sedekad punya cukai wo mau declare. Utang takde sangat kot sebab ada tahun yang bayar lebih, so cover.

Jumaat nih kena jumpa officer, paling lewat Isnin. Hopefully after everything settle within the next week or so, aku jadik orang kaya baru jap lah. Heh...

After I got everything sorted out, I felt so much better and decided that I deserved to have time off for myself jap walaupon aku kena balik dan rehat as well as do some reading. Motif reading? Hah.. tu something for Thursday.. nanti jerk aku cita.

Met Boo jap (sorry I been busy) and got home to kick back and relax.

Caught Diari.. erm... nampaknya sesuatu aku speku dalam forum last week akan menjadi kenyataan. Nanti the right time sampai aku elaborate ek.

The day started with endless b*tching by the tenaga pengajar. Kesian tol Syafie, Siti Hajar dan Ramli MS dok tak abih abih ngamuk ngan bebudak stok takleh pakai majority nih. I don't get it.. musim musim lepas pun ada bebudak yang main-main but this season cam too much.

Even the melody pun they had a problem catching on. One hour pun seksa nak hapal melody. Seriously, these kids are among the most hopeless dalam sejarah Akademi Fantasia dari segi attitude meka towards their studies.

Rina struggled nak get her song right, Nadia was more advanced in her song... and Stacy berlatih lagu dia sambil lonjat practising to make sure she can cope with the energetic tune. Sempat dia gelakkan diri sendiri tuh!

Motif carot gelak diri sendiri???


Saida pun nampaknya trying hard.
Tapi sedangkah Alif dok layan handphone nak hapal lagu dia, si Stanly dan Riz dok bincang pasal seafood mana lebih murah samaada Sabah ke Sarawak. Elok la perangai...

Drama queens menganyam ketupat


Rina practise sampai tertidur tuh. Amik ko! Aiyo! Meka saja nak kenakan tuh sampai dengkur dia pon highlighted.

Erm... sambung dengar Stanly melalak in the background while Riz layan main game kat handphone. Wow.. so rajin. Tetiba nyanyi Biarlah Rahsia leh? Adik adik tetap feeling Siti kan?

Konon belek sana sini nak carik lagu study.. rupanya main game! Ko memang rajin la! Makan, tido, main game, mencarut... hebat!


Sesi basuh berterusan with Siti Hajar's class. Sibuk Stanly dok gelak gelak. Merasalah melatah pecah lobang overdose. Padan moka kena marah. Ntah ngan sapa.. ngan Nubhan kot. Riz plak kena marah. Padan moka... main game, cita pasal makanan leh, hapal tak. Si Stanly pun dua kali lima... bila sampai time dia hancur.

Where do they get time to mess about? Erm.. pandai sangat nak berbahasa Cina wo.. ok la minggu depan Nubhan dan Stanly kena lagu berbahasa Cina la.

Sempat nak buang masa melantak, gosip then gaduh ngan kamera.

Matilah takde benda lain ke Nubhan nak cita pasal cita rambut dia gugur. I thought I spotted a bald spot last concert. Vanity be thy name! Biar performance sumbang tapi janji feeling nak cantik katanya.

Duta baru Yun Nam?


New choreography for Menuju Puncak now that there's only nine of them.

Second Diari.

Statement of the week, Genervie, which always comes with the best one liners.

Masa deal ngan Nubhan, "Your bad habit is.. you're still... macam turkey tau tak!"

Matilah pecah perot dibuatnya si Gen carut. Do turkeys have balding spots? This one does.

Rehearsals, aku respect Nadia. Dia dan Stacy sama. Work hard physically, Nadia siap sit up sambil practise.

Erm... we new it was never going to last kan? Bebudak nak speaking hancus. I really have to question the education system everytime these kids speak English. Entahlah...

Perlu ke meka usik Stacy melatah. Elok la pastu kang kalao melatah TOTOK kuar agik. If only the production team understood what it means they would be more careful.

Aiyo... konon keja banyak sangat bebudak ni, sorang sorang tunjuk tido jerk. Nubhan... Toi...
Rina dan Nubhan another run in. Kali ni pasal Rina latih dalam dapur, si Nubhan masuk dapur nak melantak. Dari alloted each one of them a space nak latih, sentap menyentap ler bila da orang lain invade personal space. Matilah Nubhan kata Rina bebel... heh.. walaupon...

English class for Toi. Scary!

Hah.. da Gen punya session with Nubhan. Aduh.. gelak aku.

Nadia seems to be doing best... memang aku look forward performance dia.

Toi sound malas...Alif seems to have Hai down to a pat, and kali ni it seems to come with some attitude. Tapi tak hapal lak berapa baru masuk and dia cam runaway train sikit. But not too bad...

Drama Stanly lak pasal dia ilang dari 5 pagi. Here it comes... malas nak go on. I know what's coming... semua tatau dia ke mana.

Masa tuk aut untung from the gullible idiots who fall for all the drama and forget this is a TALENT competition.

Ok la.. until tomorrow...
