the one where badrul has so many things to tell...

picture 1...

bunyinya macam senang jer... 'so many things to tell'... tapi to jot down what was in my mind is not as easy... oh, by the way, i don't really have any pictures that could relate to what i want to say, so i letak gambar-gambar yang shonny ambik during one of his diving trip... he's into underwater photos pulak sekarang nih... hhhmmm... alamatnya, my project to create cooking book kena put on hold sekejap lah nih... though i dah discuss dengan one printing company about design, layout and cost... takpalah... it will be my long term project...

ok, on friday i had lunch with one of my best friend, tapi i taknak letak nama dia kat sinih... anyway, while makan tuh kita orang borak-borak lah... suddenly it just hit me in the head that i am such a selfish person... i've known this friend for quite some time now but honestly, this is the first time ever i dengar dia ceriter about problem dia... surprisingly, i don't know much about my friend nih... i guess i'm too busy talking about myself and my problem that i forgot, orang lain pun ada masalah jugak... i always claimed that i'm a good listener, but am i really?!? i felt ashamed of myself... and though i don't know how to say i'm sorry to this friend face to face, i would like to take this opportunity here to say that 'i am so very sorry for not being a good friend to you... all these while you were always there when i needed you, when i need a shoulder to cry on, when i need some advices, or when i just need someone to listen to my whining... thank you and i will do my best to do the same for you'...

friday night, me, wink, izreen, leen and meesua pergi karaoke kat plaza ampang (before it was called yaw chuan plaza)... i had a fabulous and wonderful time... petang tuh sebenarnya i had terrible headache... mungkin sebab panas sangat kot... but bila nyanyi (read: melalak) hilang terus sakit kepala... muahahahaa... i can't really remember when was the last time i let myself loose like that... i felt so comfortable with these friends langsung tak gugup melalak tak ikut key pun... muahahaha... selalunya mesti darah gemuruh or malu kalau nyanyi off-key, but with them i am totally myself... thank you guys... macam-macam lagu keluar... dari lagu zaman silam macam my way and widuri hinggalah ke lagu rock kapak macam sejati dan taman rashidah utama, lagu hindustan kuch kuch ho ta hey, lagu dangdut dan macam-macam lagih... hahahahahaha... siap suara-suara fonens semua keluar... hahahahha... that was hilarious!!! so, siapa-siapa yang pegang cd rakaman tuh, jangan lupa yach, kasi saya satu copy...

saturday, i spent most of my time with the kids... lunch time i cakap kat my mom tak payah masak... just masak nasi jer... so i bawak the kids pergi beli lauk pauk... i let them pilih sendiri lauk apa yang dia orang nak makan... aiman pilih lala masak lemak (one of his favourite seafood... lala...), eisya nak ayam goreng and paru goreng, farah pun nak ayam goreng and anies nak ikan bakar... see, takda sorang pun pilih sayur... muahahahaha... so i tapau extra lauk like kacang panjang goreng dengan hati and telur dadar... after lunch, i watched cartoons with them until semua terlelap seketika... mula-mula tuh rancang dengan diaorang nak tengok robots lagi sekali but since sunday i masuk kerja about noon memang tak sempatlah, so i've made a plan with my sister and brother-in-law to take the kids to sunway lagoon... since i don't want to cut the fun short, i will go with them in the morning and leave them with my sister in the afternoon and go to the office from there...


picture 5...

it was a tiring weekend... but not a 'bad' kind of tired... but a 'good and wonderful' kind of tired... looking at their beautiful happy faces just to be able to go to sunway lagoon was priceless... how i wish i could take the kids for a long holiday macam kak shamina, kak watie or co2... but i hope they will forgive me this time around... next school holiday, i promise i will take them somewhere nice and fun...

note:

(i) ~ tengah blog-hopping, terjumpa blog auntie n... auntie n, badrul nak link kan blog auntie n boleh ker?

(ii) ~ my bowling team i tukar player sorang... instead of edlin, now farah is playing for my team...

(iii) ~ yep, i've made up my mind... i've made the decision... and surprisingly, i felt so relieved...

the one about badrul and the american idol, billboard chart week...

american idol...

nothing much that i can say about this week's american idol... i thought everybody did pretty well except for mikalah gordon... lagih pun, sebab diaorang nyanyi number one songs in billboard chart (kira semua orang boleh ingat and relate to the song lah) sebab tu lah kita dengar macam sedap jer... anyway, i sekarang nak jadik macam kak aidid... in the sense that, stick to one... thick or thin... muahahahaha... so, i don't really care that much about other contestants other than cikgu nuar... muahahahaa... macam kak aidid suka kat constantine tuh lah...


jessica sierra... billboard week...

other than cikgu nuar, i thought there were few others yang performed very well... one of them was jessica sierra with total eclipse of the heart... yang paling i ingat was the last part of the song masa camera pusing-pusing dia tuh, then she ends it with one nod to the camera... classy... tapi classy nya sampai kat situ jer lah... kalau nak cakap pasal dressing dia... hhmmmm... dia mesti jenis dedah-dedah sikit, which to me memang tak perlu langsung... lagu rancak ker, lagu slow ker, sumer jenis terdedah jugak... payah... mmuuahahahahaha...


carrie underwood... billboard week...

carrie underwood memang mempersonakan dengan alone... masih ada sikit-sikit kesan country nya, but overall bagus sesangat... though i thought back-up singer tuh lagih power (muahahahahaa...), still i think carrie dah mula tunjuk taring that she can sing other genres too... to me, tak kisahlah kalau ada bunyi country pun sebab lagu-lagu country pun bukan terikat dengan satu jenis jer... ada country rock, country pop, jugak country road... muuahahahaa... yep, this week carrie memang best!


anwar robinson... billboard week...

despite what the over-paid judges tuh cakap, i think cikgu nuar's performance was amazing with ain't nobody... bukan senang nak nyanyi lagu chaka khan tuh... i like his style, his simplicity, and most of all his amazing beautiful vocal...

again, if you ask me who is going to win american idol, i will say cikgu nuar... and if you ask me who's going out this week, my bet is on mikalah gordon... tuh pun kalau orang kat amerika tuh bijak pandai macam orang kat malaysia nih lah... muahahahaha...

mikalah gordon... goodbye...

we just bid good bye to mikalah gordon... i wish her the best of luck... i think one of the comedy series should get her on board, because i tell you, she is funny and fun, and she can really act... good bye mikalah...

the one about badrul making the decision...

looking into the future...

it has been awhile since i put up an entry... banyak nya yang berlaku dalam tempoh singkat nih... i don't even know where to begin... all i know is, i'm so damn tired... kalau ikut hati, memang rasa macam nak berhenti kerja... kalau ikut hati lah... but it's not that easy... tanggungjawab besar... to my family... tapi kalau sampai dah takda masa untuk keluarga, is it worth it? hhmmmm...

kalau boleh, i just want to come back early from work... well, not that early, but the normal hour lah... masuk pukul 9.00 pagi, lepas tuh balik pukul 5.30 petang... have an early dinner and watch cartoon movies on disney channel with the kids... but... instead, pukul 8.30pagi dah terpacak di office... pukul 9.00 malam baru nak dinner... sampai rumah, semua dah gelap...

yes, of course... i'm doing this for my family... trying my best to provide them selagi yang termampu... like all of us, we want nothing short of the best for our family, tapi kadangkala kita terlupa, that they just want a bit of our time... again... hhhmmmm...

next week is another thing... i have to make the toughest decision yet... in my life... and i'm not happy... what is wrong with these people?!? masa orang kerja setengah mati, bukan main susah lagih nak dapat increament lah, nak naik pangkat lah... tapi bila kita dah dapat satu offer, mulalah orang yang sama nih nak offer this and offer that!!! well, i'm tired and this time around, i will make my own decision...

friday, i'm taking a day off... i'm taking the kids to watch robots and later in the evening (minum air suam) nak pergi melalak (minum air suam) dengan kengkawan (minum air suam)...

*type entry sambil tengok idol... well, more like dengar jer... based on their performances just now, i guess my bottom three will be mikalah, constantine and scott... and i hope mikalah keluar... nope, she is not a top 10 material...

the one about badrul and the american idol, the final 12...

american idol...

sebenarnya i bukan malas nak review american idol... it’s more like, i memang tak pandai nak tulis review... walaupun tekaan i siapa yang terkeluar tuh memang tepat, still it does not make me somebody yang pandai tulis review nih... but since some of my close friends dok suruh jugak, and since i memang takda kerja sangat nak buat malam-malam, so i guess i buat lah... but mind you, this is just my personal opinion...


lindsey cardinale...

i could be orang amerika kot (yang gelap-gelap lah)... muahahahahha.... kalau i ada kat amerika masa tuh, memang i turn off the volume pun masa dia nyanyi… sayang sangat-sangat sebab dia memang ada suara yang sedap, tapi pilihan lagu and not to forget, kena nyanyi in tune are very important in this kind of competition… kalau i boleh vote, i won’t vote for lindsey cardinale for her performance that night walaupun vote tuh free of charge... yes, she’s pretty and all.... yes, she does have a good singing voice, but to challenge the other 11 contestants, i think it’s out of her league...


mikalah gordon...

kalau nak dikirakan, i betul 2/3 daripada bottom three tuh... after the show (i watched it three times... at 4pm, 8pm and again at 11.30pm...) i thought the bottom three should be lindsey, mikalah, and nikko.... yes i know, i like mikalah gordon, tapi kalau dia takleh nyanyi, memang takleh nyanyi lah kan... the thing about mikalah is, she spices up the show... i think kalau dia takda, idol will be ‘a tad’ boring... sekurang-kurangnya, dia ada untuk entertain penonton (or to some, will annoy them... muahahahahaa...) but i don’t think she will last for another two weeks kot...


nikko smith...

nikko smith to me nih macam kira af masuk jugaklah nih... muahahahaha... his performance the night before tuh to me tak memberangsangkan langsung... yes, again, i agree! he does have the voice, but...hhhmmm... entah lah... kalau the last week tuh, americans dah tak pilih dia untuk ke final 12, should he at least buat lagih baik so that he can prove them wrong? His performance macam tahap-tahap karaoke jer…


jessica sierra...

i still think jessica sierra was way much better than nikko smith to be in the bottom three... anyway, it’s still too soon to tell... they have to go through a lot more different genres before one of them can be crowned as american idol... though i love jessica’s husky voice, dia takda the ‘charm’ factor yang boleh membuatkan orang ingat pada dia… so i guess sebab utama dia jatuh bottom three tuh sebab dia jadik penyanyi yang pertama and people lupa about her after all the twelve performances…


anwar robinson...

but again... muahahahahaa... ok, but again, (my bias talking) anuar robinson alias cikgu nuar is still the best! lepas dengar tiga kali dia nyanyi ‘a house is not a home’, i dah minat giler dengan lagu tuh... still, he needs to get a cue from simon (the british tad innit simon, not our local simon) that if he keeps playing safe, the americans won’t save him... so, buckle-up my idol cikgu nuar... showcase your voice to the world....

so, malaysians (malaysians konon... besarnya cita-cita... macam ler ramai sangat baca blog nih... muahahahaha), what say you? i know our own randy, paula n simon will change the comments to 18sx, but what the heck... everybody’s here is 18 (i hope...) and you are entitle to your own opinion anway... muahahahaha...

the one about badrul and the malaysian manhunt...

aiman 1...

look here ladies, here comes the malaysian manhunt of the year... muahahahah... his name is aiman hakim... he's 4... living in puchong with his grandparents, aunties and cousins... he speaks better english than his dad (but of course!), he loves cartoons (channel 60, 61, 62 and 63) and occasionally channel 71 to see the latest video clips... suka pergi zoo (so ladies, if you are not willing to walk, forget it ok!) nih kalau besar nanti nih sama ada jadik vet atau jadik penjaga zoo nih...


aiman 2...

aiman nih tersangatlah penyayangnya... very protective of his sister... walaupun kadang-kadang naughty tak terkata, tapi dia tak pernah kedekut dengan barang mainan dia atau duit-duit dia... pernah jugak hari raya, dia bagi kitaorang duit raya... muahahahaa... that was hilarious sebab secara tak sengaja telah memperli auntie nya yang kedekut nak bagi duit raya... muahahahaha... really...


aiman 3...

this trip to the zoo adalah 'hadiah' sempena lulus cemerlang dalam s.p.s.t.m (sijil pelajaran sekolah tadika malaysia... muahahahahahhaa) dapat a for english, a for math, a for computer and b for music (main recorder)... he is also the sportsman of the year apabila menjadi wakil malaysia dalam lumba lari pecah belon atas kerusi dengan bontot (walaupun dia berlari ada sikit mengiring...)


aiman 4...

his favourite food are chicken mcnuggets and fries (with lots of ketchup) from mcdonalds, pepperoni & cheese pizza from dominos (thin crust), roti canai banjir for breakfast dan sudah semestinya ice cream... vanilla and chocolate flavours top with tons of m&m, chocolate rice and creamy peanut butter... favourite drink is ribena... so ladies, senang kan... tak payah nak masak kat rumah...


aiman 5...

his favourite animal is horse... so both of us memang regular kat ioi mall yang ada merry-go-round tuh... dia punya favourite soft toy (kuda lah, apa lagih) is with me, which i put next to me every night i nak tidur (eehhhh, kira dah jadik mine lah kan!!) but nope, it will not be part of the hantaran... no way! cita-cita bila besar nanti nak jadi pilot... walaupun daddy nya adalah bekas penyanyi kaberet, i don't think he will follow that footstep though...


aiman 6...

so ladies, if you are interested, start hantar application now... jangan tunggu lama-lama, nanti lama-lama, dia diambil orang... muuahahahaaa...

the one where badrul turns 'groupie'...

fiesta media idola...

ok... before i go on talking about me being a groupie, muahahahahaaa... i ada a couple of announcements to make.. oh well, not all announcements actually... yang pertamanya, to amty, mintak maaf banyak-banyak about saturday tuh... kereta meragam lagih, so the whole morning sampai about 1pm kat workshop... mujur jugak shonny datang bawak pergi breakfast and all... so by the time kereta siap, i was so tired nak drive to klcc... again, mintak maaf dari hujung rambut sampai hujung kaki... maybe belum ada rezeki nak berjumpa kot...

the second announcement is, untuk gathering af1 yang dijadualkan hari sabtu nih, 20 march... penyertaan masih lagih dibuka untuk yang berminat (well, i think af1 lah yang menemukan ramai di antara kita, kan)... you can get more infos from sultanmuzaffar...


v.v.i.p. bergambar bersama artis... nana ker terselit kat belakang...

oh ya, sebagai kapten bowling untuk astro (statement 'kak nammm tunjuk bagus' menurut nomo ampat setengah... hahahahaha...) i kena attend the launch of fiesta media idola yang diaorang buat kat one utama baru tuh on sunday... i sememangnya 'letih' sikit nak attend benda-benda macam nih, tapi sebab dah kena paksa, so i pergilah jugak... anyway, since i don't have my cameraman with me, terpaksalah i ajak nomo ampat setengah menemankan i sambil menjadi camerawomanz untuk i... makcik tuh kalau jumpa artis-artis, memang sexcited lah... muahahahahaa...


zahid si budak nakal...

disebabkan nak berwindow shopping sedikit, so kitaorang sampai agak awal... masa tuh diaorang baru tengah buat trial-run for the actual show, so terdengarlah norman kru announce yang sheila on 7 pun akan perform jugak... memang kumpulan favourite i and masa tuh i dengan nomo ampat setengah siap berdoa (nomo ampat setengah siap sujud sawi lagih) supaya sheila on 7 nanti nyanyi lagu berhenti berharap... kami pun pergi berjalan-jalan sekejap, dan seperti yang diduga, bila berjalan tuh mestilah ada orang pandang nomo ampat setengah yang dragoonz macam putri kembang semangkuk tuh... masyaAllah, sale di mana-mana, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan... tangan bagaikan ringan jer nak menzapp dan menzipp duit plastik, tapi memikirkan tanggungjawab nak bayar duit kereta my mom, terus jer bersabar... ohhh tidaaakk... sambung berjalan-jalan sambil tutup mata...


aku berhenti berharap...

memang ramai yang artis-artis yang datang... budak-budak af1 dan af2, pembaca-pembaca berita tv, penyanyi, pelakon dan segala semua ada... tapi yang buat i excited sekali tentulah sheila on 7... tapi cuma duta dan ron saja yang ada... and ron main gitar kapuk masa duta nyanyi 'dan', and main keyboard masa duta nyanyi 'berhenti berharap'... sungguh, selepas lagu if you're not the one from daniel bedingfield, lagu 'berhenti berharap' adalah lagu favourite i... liriknya, gaya nyanyian nya, persembahan yang penuh penghayatan... tengah-tengah menghayati lagu tuh, tiba-tiba nomo ampat setengah jentik telinga i sebab i dok menangis depan ramai-ramai orang tuh dengar lagu 'berhenti berharap'...

aku pulang, tanpa dendam...
kuterima kekalahanku...
aku pulang, tanpa dendam...
ku salut kan kemenanganmu...

kau ajarkan aku bahagia...
kau ajarkan aku derita...
kau tunjukkan aku bahagia...
kau tunjukkan aku derita...
kau berikan aku bahagia...
kau berikan aku derita...


katon bagaskara...

habis jer sheila on 7 nyanyi, kita orang turun bawah kejap nak smokok... ooooo, rupanya nomo ampat setengah pun nangis jugak... habis ada jalur-jalur airmata kat makeup muka tebal seinci dia tuh... patutlah beria nak pergi toilet... anyway, selain daripada sheila on 7 yang buat persembahan, ruffedge, ezlyn dan titi dj pun turut mempersembahkan lagu mereka... pastu masa tengah intai-intai artis semua tuh, terpandang katon bagaskara... kkkkaaatttooonnnnnnn!!! hah, nih lagih sorang penyanyi indonesia yang i minat... minat giler... kalau ada vina panduwinata, mesti i pengsan kat situh jugak dan mesti mengamuk si nomo ampat setengah nak mengangkat badan i yang memangnya besar-besar trak askar kesukaannya tuh...


titi dj...

masa nih lah first time i tengok titi dj nyanyi live... sebelum nih selalu jugak dengar lagu dia and dengar nama dia dicalonkan dalam pelbagai anugerah, tapi nih betul-betul first time bertemu muka, bertentang mata, berjabat tangan dan berkata hello... lunak sekali yah suara nya! bisa bikin hati cowok cair gituh! sebenarnya nomo ampat setengah ada jugak ambil gambar masa titi dj menyanyi, tapi seperti biasalah womanz tuh, gambar mesti ala-ala blur... so, takleh pakai...


duta - sheila on 7...

so, setelah lama menunggu giliran, akhirnya dapat jugak ambik gambar dengan duta sheila on 7... kalau jumpa dia tengah jalan kat kl nih, mesti tak percaya budak nih punya suara yang sungguh sungguh hebat... seriously, masa kat atas stage tuh, dengan gaya bersahaja dia menyanyi dengan penuh perasaan... setiap patah lirik nya menusuk kalbu...

aku berhenti berharap...
dan menunggu datang gelap...
sampai nanti suatu saat...
tak ada cinta kudapat...

kenapa ada derita...
bila bahagia tercipta...
kenapa ada sang hitam...
bila putih menyenangkan...

masa i cakap kat hawa, hari nih i nak jadik groupie, nak ambik gambar dengan artis-artis yang i suka semua, dia boleh cakap balik, alah, awak tuh groupie bukan hari nih jer... sejak lama dulu dah... muahahahaaa...

well, so what? i am a groupie... yeahhhh!!! yeahhhh!!! yeahhhh!!!!
