at the hitz.tv birthday bash...

hitz.tv birthday bash

i'm having some problem with my laptop again... i think the hard disk is going to crash soon... need to call acer secepat mungkin... anyway, since i dah lama tak update and i know next week i won't be able to update sebab sibuk, i think i letak banyak sikit gambar and cerita lebih sikit kot... takut i terlupa pulak... i terlambat nak update pasal hitz.tv birthday bash a few weeks back... sebenarnya masa i tahu diddy was given a chance to perform during the bash, i memang rasa excited giler... it was an opportunity not to be missed... yalah kan, bukan selalu penyanyi yang orang anggap from 'malay' programme dapat perform in english station... so lepas discuss and fikir and looking from good and bad point of view, we decided for diddy to perform lagu feel from robbie williams and superstitions from stevie wonder... seboleh-bolehnya i taknak dia perform any songs from af concert... nak jugak semua orang tahu that he can do other songs as well... mula-mula tu pening jugak nak carik minus-one apatah lagi in short notice tapi dengan pertolongan ramai kawan-kawan, we managed to get it... i watched him perform during rehearsal and i felt that he was going to nail it... yalah kan, lagu superstitions tuh quite old but he brought his own flavor and freshness to it...

gaya penghibur baru...

but of course kita hanya merancang... bila i tengok schedule artis-artis yang akan perform, i realised that all of them are underground band... sama ada yang bertanding dalam blast-off or yang memang dah perform with their group... hanya diddy dan amirul saja yang boleh dikira 'main-stream'... kalau nak dikira memang different target group of audience... simply put, wrong audience for diddy... tapi masa tu i masih lagi berfikiran positive... to me, if they were given a chance to listen to diddy's voice, it shouldn't matter that diddy was not from underground scene... to make matter worst, hujan turun selebat-lebatnya sehingga the recorded show kena tangguh... diddy yang sepatutnya perform pukul lapan malam were push to almost 11pm... since dah lewat, the producer decided to cut one song from each performers, so diddy went with superstitions... true, almost everyone tak kenal siapa dia and ignored him when he walked on stage, but towards the end they did applaused even if it was not as loud as other people's performances... being new to 'this' situation, diddy was devastated... thank god for mukhlis who was there and managed to give diddy some pep-talk... all in all, it was a precious experience for diddy... and of course for me too... one day, i will make these people listen to diddy... i promise, insyaAllah...

shayne ward?...

light & easy rebranding...

okay, now it's known as lite fm... the rebranding took place at shook, starhill... memang class... with wine, expensive looking finger food, fresh fruit juice etc... memang tahap-tahap pendengar lite fm lah... most of them in jacket and evening gown... tapi biasalah kan, ada jugak yang tak pandai baca apa yang tertulis pada kad jemputan, so datang pakai t-shirt and jeans... malaysian being malaysian... i was quite busy entertaining clients and press so tak dapatlah nak ambik gambar banyak... anyway, i managed to take this guy's picture, whom i think is shayne ward... i pun tak kenal shayne ward and i pun tak tahu if i spelled his name correctly... the little info yang collect sana sini was that he was the winner of one singing reality show in u.k. called x-factor yang macam american idol jugak... suara dia memang best, tapi macam boy-band best... kalau tak tengok stage memang ingat one of the boyband from u.k. macam westlife and others... adalah sikit kelakar bila time mc announce dia to come onstage to perform... manager matsaleh dia jalan wahhhh macam panglima masuk dewan... dengan tiga empat orang bodyguard nampak macam superstar sangat-sangat... but again, with these people yang half drunk and mungkin tak familiar dengan dia, tak ramai sangat pedulikan dia kecuali a few girls yang dok jerit-jerit cute! cute! cute! lepas dah nyanyi tiga lagu, semua nih escort lah dia pergi duduk kat tempat dia macam ada orang nak serbu gitu tapi takda orang pay any attention again... lepas tuh i tengok dia duk lalu ulang alik mula-mula dengan bodyguards tapi lama-lama bila semua orang buat tak tahu, dia dah jalan sorang-sorang jer... manager dia pun dah tak nampak snobbish dah... muhahahahaa... okay, another good lesson to learn from!

rudy's birthday...

i got a call from rudy masa awal-awal kat event rebranding lite fm...

"dah hantar gambar dah?"

"dah... hantar tiga gambar... but one in each email sebab takut fail besar!"

"errr, taknak wish happy birthday ke?"

"happy birthday? eh, hari nih birthday nkau ke?"

"ya lah..."

"oohhh sorrryyy... sorryyy... happy birthday rudy... sorry..."

"takpa... malam nih kita ada small gathering... kak sue yang ajak makan-makan... tempat biasa... datanglah... pukul 11 malam..."

"okay, i'll be there..."

terus kelam kabut and excuse myself from my other colleagues sebab nak pergi carik hadiah... macam ni lah selalu bila dapat tahu everything last minute... went up to other floors in starhill sambil call neo mintak pendapat...

"nak beli purse ke?"

"rasanya dia dah ada kot... purse dia dah memang besar..."

"beg?"

"alah beli beg baru pun nanti beg hijau dia yang kusam tuh jugak yang dipakai..."

"habis tuh?"

"beli swimming trunk lah... dia selalu pergi swimming..."

"yang two-piece ker?" *gelak joke bodoh sendiri*

"bla bla bla bla" i cannot remember the whole conversation because i tengah berdiri kat depan kedai louis vuitton... ada some promotion pulak tuh... i totally lupa pasal that conversation... then bila dah habis berkhayal, i decided to go somewhere else... dalam hujan renyai-renyai dengan pakai suit sepasang and without umbrella, i walked to lot10 to look for birthday present yang i tak tahu apa benda nak beli... kemudian masuk kedai guess... called zulhusni tanya if rudy pakai jam ke tidak, zul cakap tak... nanti tangan dia ellergy... hhmmmmm... pusing punya pusing punya pusing, i decided to go back to starhill and get him a shirt... terus called vernon...

"kau tau tak hari ni birthday rudy..."

*dengan penuh confident walaupun memang tak ingat langsung* "ingat... i dah wish dah..." *hannjeeng sangat statement padahal belum call lagi nih*

"nak beli apa birthday present kat rudy nih?"

"ning and i will get something" *memang haannjjjennng kan statement dia*

"i tak tau apa nak beli lah... zul cakap dia tak pakai jam... maybe i'll get him a raoul shirt..."

"a raoul shirt? hhhmmm... rather than raoul shirt, why don't you get him a mont blanc pen? *hannjeeng giler statement*

i wanted to say 'i'm disinclined to bla bla bla...' tapi sebab ayat dia berbelit-belit and i don't really know bahasa orang hoitty toitty nih, i just carutkan jer dia balik... again, walked in the rain, naik atas ke raoul and terus jer beli... malas nak fikir-fikir lagi since i got some more work to do downstairs at shook...

happy birthday dearest rudy...

seperti biasanya, i was the first there... nih i dah kira termasuk jalan yang salah, buat u-turn sampai dua kali, pusing kiri dan kanan baru sampai tempat yang dijanjikan, but i was still early... muhahahahaa... and that was not the first time... apa lagi, terus call rudy and kena carut satu round... first part of the birthday present i guess... but we do have lots and lots of fun... bermacam-macam cerita, dari cerita-cerita pasal bercuti sampailah cerita pasal dr.fazley kahwin, sampailah cerita album dan sebagainya... the food was fabulous and the cake was amazing... oh vern, aku dah bagi single tuh kat dean, rudy, zulhusny, syazwan and fairuz, so nanti aku nak mintak ganti dengan nkau...

to rudy, happy birthday my dearest friend... you have been such a great friend... you are sweet, respectful and honest... you are kind, gentle and supportive... you are someone that i can trust my life with... and on top of all that, you are a true diva! so, best wishes from me and hope you will find someone who will love you and really deserves you...

model material... muhahaha...

photoshoot...

two photoshoots dah arranged before hari raya and nak buat lepas hari raya... but both nak buat di rumah... satunya dengan i-remaja with jemang and another one dengan emma from urtv... tapi sayang, i tak sempat langsung ambik gambar sebab sibuk kemaskan bilik tidur untuk photoshoot tuh... oh ya, photoshoot untuk diddy sebenarnya tapi buat kat my house *terimakasih hafiz* kerana sebab-sebab yang tak dapat dielakkan... takpalah, kira sama jer sebab diddy pun selalu melepak kat situ bila habis show or bila kena pergi early show... sekali lagi hujan yang teramat lebat menyebabkan jalan jam dan photoshoot session terpaksa ditangguhkan masanya... dari pukul 2 petang sampailah pukul 6 lebih baru habis both photoshoot... to jemang, emma, and abang-abang photographers, sorry lah ya if we are not such a good host... bagi minum air dalam tin jer and kuih raya yang ada... memang ler tak sempat nak buat apa-apa but i hope all the pictures turn out great... tak sabar nak tengok nanti...

'under the sea'...

then, there was another photoshoot dengan majalah hai with nazmi... photoshoot nih sebenarnya telah lama nak diarrange kan untuk aiman and ellisya tapi kerana beberapa masalah seperti minggu periksa dan i pulak sibuk, jadi hanya dapat dibuat hari rabu yang lepas... on the day of photoshoot, i called nazmi and bagi suggestion to include diddy in the photoshoot... well, other people might think macam serampang dua mata or kill two birds with one stone, tapi from my point of view, i wanted to put more commercial weight to the photoshoot... ya lah kan, bukankah lebih baik kalau ada artis bersama-sama daripada muka i yang terpampang kat majalah tuh? muhahahhaa... mula-mula we decided nak buat photoshoot tuh kat taman klcc jer but cuaca tak mengizinkan so we moved in to aquaria... bagus jugak sebab ada 'tarikan' for the kids supaya tak rasa bosan and at the same time, gambar-gambar pun nampak meriah sikit...

resting...

habis photoshoot dah almost 5.00pm... lepas minum jap, terus bawak diaorang balik rumah... both kids dah tertidur keletihan dalam kereta tapi tetap seronok sebab dapat duit raya dari nenek, auntie dan uncle dia... in the car aiman dah plan apa nak beli dengan duit raya yang dia dapat... hhmmmmm... thanks nazmi and hopefully everything is okay... sorry sebab walaupun dah lama kita rancangkan tapi baru minggu lepas dapat kita buat the photoshoot session... harap-harap soon i will be able to come and visit you and huzz at the office...

diddy...

so now i'm in the process of collecting songs for diddy's album... dah ada dua tiga lagu yang i dah dapat, tapi masih dalam proses untuk memilih yang terbaik... susah jugak sebenarnya but i'm blessed with friends yang sama-sama ingin membantu sesama teman dan bukan yang hanya ada phd jer... so banyak nasihat dan pandangan yang i dapat... yalah kan, this is totally new to me and i memang nak kena banyak belajar... really banyak... kena belajar jadi professional dan tak membiarkan apa yang i suka dan tak suka mempengaruhi apa yang i perlu buat... i have to take into consideration of apa yang majoriti suka dan tidak suka... buat masa sekarang nih, jalan ada lah bumpy sikit but takda aral yang besar sangat so i sangat-sangat bersyukur...

'saling terpesona' is now on era and hot fm... ramai yang dengar dah bagi feedback dekat i... ada yang suka dengan kelainannya dan ada jugak yang compare dengan 'caramu'... apa yang i boleh katakan is that walaupun team yang buat lagu nih adalah team yang sama, but this song is not kesinambungan 'caramu'... all in all, the feedback is positive, Alhamdulillah... if you really enjoy it, keep requesting for it kat pilihanmu di era and hot fm corner ya...

as you know, diddy and yanie are also in the early stage of nomination for anugerah bintang popular berita harian 2006... so help to vote for them as well ya... dan yang terbaru, diddy juga tercalon untuk kategori bintang baru lelaki paling glamor majalah urs dalam anugerah urs glamor 2006 yang akan berlangsung pada 30 november nanti...

ellisya...

introducing ellisya... bakal model nih... muhahahaha... baru lima tahun but she's already tall... belum apa-apa lagi dah pandai bergaya... banyak sangat tengok buku fesyen before the photoshoot sampai tiap masa nak ambik gambar dia sengetkan kepala dia... muahahhaaa... it was so funny... sekarang nih tengah menghafal lagu 'saling terpesona' so bila dah hafal nanti, i nak suruh dia duet dengan cousing dia meimei...

aiman...

aiman macam biasalah... going to be in standard two in 2007... dah besar panjang dah... and next year dia jadi prefect... sekarang nih pun dah sibuk pasal baju sekolah baru, beg sekolah baru, kasut baru, dan semua baru walaupun sekolah baru jer mula bercuti... dia dapat nombor lapan dalam peperiksaan so not too bad lah...

i think dah panjang lebar giler dah i tulis nih... this coming week i'm going to london for a short holiday... sort of like a birthday gift to myself... i don't think i would be able to update my blog *i don't think i want to* because i just want to relax... i may drop by to chat or just to read my blog and other people's blog... but that's about it lah... so see you soon...

in the gift shop...

to ijin, i'm sorry that i won't be here on your wedding day *sapa suruh buat wedding on my birthday... muhahaha?* but i wish you all the wonderful things in life, for you and your future husband... semoga kebahagiaan bersama suami tercinta kekal abadi... you are such a wonderful sister and great friend... selamat pengantin baru, ijin....
