SO FAR

As per my last post, ive have transferred to a new place of work and ive started there on the 16th. As per usual and expected, feeling out of sort and disoriented after being with my last company for so long. Slowly trying to find my way again in a new environment. Not much work to do yet, just getting a few briefing and orientation around the place. So there are not much thing to write abt yet. Im still getting to know the other staffs too slowly. Its a 6 days work, working hours are from 9.30 am - 6 30pm. So yesterday was my 1st working saturday after so long and it was really something to get use to again. Im now attached to a Personnel Dept and working in the Bkt Bintang Area. So thats that for now.

Yesterday (18/7) was quite a memorable day coz Manchester United was playing against Malaysia at Stadium Bkt Jalil as part of their Asian Tour but i was working and couldnt got tickets to watch them live. Was a little sad abt that as im a huge MAN U fan. I managed to watch a few minutes of the games on TV. That night pulak, Anugerah Planet Musik was showing at ASTRO RIA and it was quite an entertaining programme which was held in Jakarta for the 1st time. My congratulations goes to all the winners and special shout out and congratulations to AIZAT for winnning Best Male Vocal and Most Popular Songs (Downloads) in Malaysia. This Guy is really opening a lot of ppl eyes and ears to his music and talent. It seems 2009 is going to be his year starting from winning in AIM and winning 3rd in the International Music Festivals in Bulgaria. Mighty happy and proud of you AIZAT. Syukur alhamdulillah and may you be more successful and gain more recognition with your latest win. So proud to be a AIZONERS.

So thats all that i need to write about so far so til the next post....i see ya when i see ya...XOXO

TALE N TIME FREE SCREENING AT FINAS (23/5/2009)

There was a free public screening of the above last Saturday at Pawagam Mini P.Ramlee, FINAS. I arrived a little after 3 pm and by then the movie has already started but i didnt miss much as ive watched this film in the cinema. Again i laughed, i cried and ponder. The respond was quite good as it was a full house and i had to seat right in front. There were a short break after the movie and right after a discussion was held which was led by Dr Wan Zawawi with Yasmin Ahmad and Mahesh Jugal Kishor, the lead on the panel. The talented Pn Azean Irdawaty was also present for the discussion despite having coming after another function in order to show her support for the film. During this time, a Q&A was held where the audience could voiced out their opinion or questions on the film.

Really enjoyed the questions asked and the answers given by Yasmin. By the way, that day was the first time ive seen Yasmin Ahmad in person though ive been following her blog and films all this while. I found her to be very humble, honest and gentle person despite her many success and accomplishment thus far. Alas, i missed my chance to take picca with her due to hunger as i skipped lunch that day and me went straight for the food served directly after the discussion ended:( oh! well, i'll be waiting for her next project and hope mayb got the chance to meet her again then...:) God willing!

But i managed to take piccas with 2 of the main characters - MAHESH and KAHOE. Eventhough newcomers to the industry but they show great potential and talent. Im sure they'll have a great career ahead in the movie and entertainment industry, so WATCH OUT for them !

Mahesh

Kahoe

All in all, it was a great experience meeting this 2 guys who are really nice and friendly and i wish them both the best of luck in their future...Kak Yasmin did told us that she has 2 new projects in the works and i cant wait for it, especially the joint venture movie with Japan. Kahoe might be in that too. This guy is really cute in person[no harm for a girl to look and admire right?!];) :p (check out what's written on his Tshirt)hehe...orite than b4 i'll ramble on n on n on, i'll stop here. CIAO! PEACE OUT!

BUMPER ISSUE

Due to the long CNY holidays i've decided to compile all piccas and activities into one post. Here goes :-

24/1/2009 - Santai @ Menara KL with Hezry, Live at RTM2 11pm

Why was i there....Nubhan got a show there...me n man sampai dlm kul 9 pm and i saw that the other nubies was already there - YB, FIT, Kikey, BAD3, Tokwan, Edna and Vern...after saying hello to everyone, YB said that Nubhan is already there and to see him in the waiting room...as i came in i saw that Tira, Eila, Norajoey, sue_agnes, kTcats and harney was already inside and nubhan is practising a mandarin song with the help of tira and eila...and all the while they spoke in mandarin...layan je...hehehhe...the other guest artist that nite was lousia chong and hubby, karen kok...basically Hezry, the host just wants to know their opinion on how they celebrate chinese new year and the preparations. Karen Kok was 1st to perform and then Nubhan's turn singing 'Generasiku'...after the show all of us went for supper at Lotus Restaurant. As Nubhan got another show tomorrow at Bdr Kinrara, he left earlier around 1 am and me pn balik close to 2 am.

25/1/2009 - Muzikfm di lokasi @ Giant BK 5, Bandar Kinrara, 2 pm

me sampai dlm kul 1 pm and just walked around for a while...this Giant is newly opened and a lot of the shops has not opened yet...quite a big place and its location is very strategic - on a hill overlooking the Highway...around 1 30 pm or so the Muzikfm DJs has already announced abt the event and by 2pm, the front of the mini stage there was already filled with people including me...i managed to stand quite near to the stage, the event started with eating mandarin orange the fastest which was won by Hafiz, who i think is a nubies....performance was started by Farahwahida and after each performance the DJ's will organised games in between, among the games played was limbo dancing, acting like a rock band, of coz eating mandarin oranges...Adam's protege, Back Boyz was next, this guys can sing and of coz dance very well, Saerah was next...all hampers or prizes was given by the respective artist performing that day...Adam performed with the Back Boys acting as his back-up dancers...their dance moves was very tight and energetic...Then came Nubhan's turn, he sang 'Ada untukmu' and the crowd response was very good...Finally it was stacy's turn and it shows that the crowd was waiting for her performance the most...Stacy was also assisted by her back-up dancers and the girl can really dance...all in all quite enjoyable.{for more pictures on this event, go to flickr_halle} thanks halle, nice n exclusive pictures as always.

26/1/2009 - Watch 'Underworld 3 : Rise of the Lycans @ Pavillion KL

me n man watched the 7 45 pm show....this story is supposed to be the prequel to the 1st Underworld starring Kate Beckinsale but she only appeared at the end...as expected ade byk blood and killing scenes, dh citer pn pasal vampires and werewolves kan...but im proud of myself coz i didnt scream .....out aloud...hehhee...boleh lah recommend kalo ade yg nk tgk..i pn dh lupa how the story goes so just tgk jelah...

27/1/2009 - Watch 'Bedtime Stories" @ TGV, KLCC and Visit KL Tower

i caught the 2 30 pm show and of coz i went with man....this is a very sweet story and most of the audience watching came with family and kids....layan jelah, nk tgk Adam Sandler punye pasal...its abt how a bedtime story told by Adam Sandler to his nephew and niece came thru the next day though some of it was coincidence then magic...very entertaining and heart warming, very sweet story, very feel good movie...After the movie, we decided to go to KL Tower as we got 2 free tickets from the Santai @ Menara KL show. Byk gak org kat situ coz masih holiday kan...so we pusing2 kat observation deck watching the whole of KL from the Tower and even caught the sunset that day, so beautiful...very nice experience and very romantic.

So that's it, that how i spend my weekend this week...enjoy the slide k

AJL 23 RESULT - SURPRISE?!

The winners with their trophies

Meet Uncle Hussein (MUH) AJL 23 champion for 'Lagu Untukmu" which also won for the Pop Rock Category

Faizal Tahir the big winner - Best Vocal, Best Performance, Best Balada for "SAMPAi SYURGA"

My 2 cents :

I was at the stadium last nite and mmg best the performance and the overall presentation of this year's AJL...the feeling throughout the stadium was very electric and happening...all was there to celebrate the songs and performances regardless of who was the favourite among all...all the performance was enjoyed and applauded by the audience...Faizal Tahir's performance was special and mesmerising during 'Sampai Syurga'...haunting even...he definitely was the favourite last nite but my personal choice for best performance, should go to Stacy with her non stop and energetic dance movement...

MUH "LAGU UNTUKMU" - WOW! a surprise?! another honour for INDIE band last nite after ESTRANGED won last year....mmg at first after Faizal Tahir 3rd trophy, ramai already thinking and expecting that Faizal will win it all...but MUH managed to "upset" though it was a great "upset"...LAN, UR VOCAL ROCKZ MAN! MUH ROCKZ!

Farahwahida "Persoalan Cinta" won in the ethnic creative category - mmg antara the 3 songs in this category, her song is totally a new sound as it includes a chinese element and instrument and her performance was also very colourful...not much to comment.

A special mention to Aizat....last nite your performance dh terbaek bro! .... you're always a winner in your fanz - AIZONERS heart....keep rocking!

The results aside, the 3 host was great, the comedy sketches by Din beramboi and Mr OS during the break was enjoyable and funny, All the finalist last nite gave great performances - A class of its own ...AJL 23 definitely ILLUMINATES MUSIC last nite...WELL DONE TV3!
