the one about badrul and (a short story of) anugerah era 06...

diddy with mawi's back-up vocalists during rehearsal...

dah habis dah anugerah era 06... all the preparation and planning for the last six months habis on saturday night... i don't know about the rest, but i was happy with the show... memang ada kekurangan sana sini... perkara biasa... kalau perfect tuh memang tak logic langsung lah... since i'm still not well (coughing, flu, demam etc), i decided not to run around... naik tangga tiga empat kali dah semput dah... terus jer i stand by kat bawah jaga tempat duduk editors...

diddy getting ready to interview anugerah era's winners...

since petang, i duduk kat ning's changing room... memang bilik paling havoc sekali... ning, nikki, yanie, diddy and kudsia... tak campur lagi dengan myself, iban princess, ted, lucas, auntie stella, joe, fahmi, michael and other make-up artistes... designers lagi... hatta, fie, jovien dan pembantu-pembantu... pendek kata, bilik paling meletop lah... every few minutes mesti ada artis-artis lain yang drop by... dalam semua sibuk-sibuk bersiap, bilik tuh penuh dengan gelak ketawa, jerit menjerit dan sebagainya... tapi sesekali kena tegur dengan diva, semua senyap... muhahahahaa... life is wonderful when you have good friends around you...

with co-host, mira...

pada awal-awal tuh ada sedikit kekecohan sebab tempat photographers masih belum dapat dipersetujui, but thank god for people like sazzy, raja and tina yang rational and berfikir dengan pantas... everything was sort out easily... thank you so much... keadaan pun kelam kabut jugak pada awal tuh sebab ada press yang tak dapat invitation dan sebagainya... hhmmmmm... i really don't know what happen... yang i tahu, semuanya dah diberikan... hopefully takda orang yang kecik hati nanti... susah nak puaskan hati semua orang, but i know i've done my best... anyway, i pun nak jugak cakap thank you very much to my publicity team yang berkerja keras especially hani... you are superb! also to daphne and mohan... and of course yang turut membantu macam sultanmuzaffar, and anne from corporate affairs... dan semestinya to my beautiful girl, jolyn who's always there for me... thank you so much honey!

another shot with mira...

sepanjang malam tuh i tak berpeluang sangat untuk tengok perjalanan anugerah era kecuali beberapa performances and penyampaian anugerah macam persembahan ning, nikki dan yanie, persembahan juara-juara akademi fantasia dan persembahan pretty ugly serta satu dua fashion show... lain-lain tuh sibuk berlari *errr, berjalan sebenarnya* ke sana sini nak pastikan semua orang selesa dan gembira... sms and phone calls pun banyak jugak i dapat... sorry to those yang i tak sempat reply sms or answer your calls... memang sibuk teramat masa kat belakang tuh...

with the winner of seven awards, mawi...

anyway, tahniah to all anugerah era winners... mawi yang bawak balik tujuh awards *dah cakap dah suruh bawak trolley*, baik punya cilok, siti nurhaliza, pretty ugly, rabbani dan lain-lain... yang paling seronok, nikki dan zahid menang vocal duo/berkumpulan... memang menitis airmata gembira... i menjerit-jerit sampai habis suara... congratulations nikki and zahid! you guys deserve it! hopefully tahun depan i akan lebih gembira! dan tentunya persembahan ning, nikki and yanie! tengok kat dalam stadium memang lagi best... mungkin camera angle tak dapat capture the energy dan keseluruhan persembahan, but it was superb... dengan suara, gaya, memek muka dan tarian, i think their performance was in the class of its own...

with diva ning baizura and partner-in-crime, yanie...

the post party was great!!! macam yang i inginkan... tak crowded... semua orang dapat makan, minum dan mingle dengan selesa... takda berebut-rebut dan dapat enjoy each other... i think that was what the post party was all about... to relax the body and mind after a long two and a half hour show... belum masuk time preparation nak tukar baju, make-up dan sebagainya... from there, i bid goodbye to anugerah era 2006... glad that semuanya ok!
