PANAAAASSSSSSS!!!

Yeahhhhhh...It was just in the recent post where i highlighted the effectiveness of Twitter on cutting down the time spent updating yourself unlike other community portals like Facebook and even Blogs!...but hey, i guess nothing beats the joy, anticipation and also the eagerness of expressing your thoughts the blogger way huh? Much more to mumble about, pictures to show, links to share...yeah, I guess blogging does have that sincerity values that people can relate to (hehehe...as for my case, it's just you and me buddy :P)...So here i am again, back to blogging, and eager to spill out all the things that i've been through to bring me where i am at this moment (with some censorship and filterations of course :D)...Owh yeah, i just bought myself some tickets for Earth Hour's 'Walk Of Hope' this Saturday at CapSquare, YYYEEEEEHHHAAAAAAA...i really can't wait!!!...i can't stop imagining how our Menara KL will be pitched black for an hour in front of our very eyes...i'm sure it'll be a sight to behold...:D
So...what had i been up to lately...let's see...last week was a pretty slow week for me, with the usual job and my sister's wedding preparations of course, but it ends with BANG!...a good one that is...:D...for some reason, i have this mysterious uneasiness and hatred with my officemates for the past week...please don't ask me why, i'm just as clueless too...they're not evil or flesh eating hideous mutants or anything, maybe my anticipation for work last week was boiled down to ZERO...yup, no motivation whatsoever...i totally got really lazy to get out of bed, let alone dragging myself all the way to the office...i thought it'll be over in a day or two, but it turned as a WHOLE WEEK TORTURE...i acted like a total jerk to them all, including my DGM...but they remained silent thanks to my ability to meet up with deadlines, which resulting that they don't say much about my moodswing...i don't know, maybe it's that time of the year again where you kinda had enough with your surroundings, you want to take a breather at a different place BUT YOU JUST CAN'T...so i guess my tantrums kinda linked heavily to that...you can choose whether to cruise along with it, or put a STOP to it...i chose to stop it, i don't see any believable sense if i keep going on like that right?...so this morning i decided to force my smile to shine through my 'black coffee' face, and it does helped to clear the air for everybody, they started to talk to me again, included me in their daily gossipings and lots of other office related activitied and issues...owh well, positivity sure come in handy when you realy need it :)...


That one's aside...middle of last week me and my cousins went to Cineleisure Damansara to catch the press preview/cocktail hi-tea of Yasmin Ahmad's latest offering, 'TALENTIME"...the title sure is lighter and does sets the tone in everyone's expectations unlike any of Ms. Yasmin's previous movies, where the one word title used are left hanging and creates some sort of eagerness to the viewers of wanting to know what it has to say...So there i was with my cousins flocking around the waiting area while waiting for the 'green light' to go into the cinema...One of my cousins contributed his vocals in 2 songs for the movie, so he's there for a short showcase on one of the songs...most people are delighted with the Pete Teo piece and my cousin shows off his skill on entertaining everybody there...Flocks of guests and creative household names attended the event, which caused a major space constraint on the waiting area, resulting in one of the invited press people got BLACKED OUT all in a sudden...the organisers managed to control the situation, but the fact that somebody has passed-out shows that the venue is not as suitable as they thought it was for a cocktail hi-tea...but anyway, the situation was covered, and finally we all managed to take our seats in the cinema to watch the movie...hehehehehe, the verdict?...well, i must say I KINDA LIKED IT...eventhough it's pretty obvious that Ms. Yasmin pays very little attention on the casting process this time around, but the storyline managed to touch me from so many ways...I really don't wanna spill so much details about it here, considering that the official nationwide release will be on this coming Thursday, but really, if you have the opportunity to watch Talentime, please use it to your advantage, and the floor is open for you to criticise or simply laying down your two cents worth...but all i have to say is...Good Job Ms. Yasmin!!!...;)

And Yessss...i did mentioned earlier that i ended last week with a bang right?...wanna know why?...coz last weekend i had a rather intimate but joyful dinner with our former Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, his wife Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah, his son Mazhar together a with few friends of mine AT HIS PRIVATE RESIDENT...yeahhh, imagine having dinner with him on his own dining table in his own home...and what a home it was...complete with elevators...well, for th record, Mazhar was a friend of ours and it's not strange for him to call us up for dinner at his place...but having dinner with Tok Det never failed to amuse me, eventhough it has been done before...so there we were having a good laugh accompanied with good food and music, it's a priviledge to see our former Prime Minister and his wife in a VERY RELAXED manner...and quite a funny guy by nature!...and its really CUTE to see Tok Det and his wife 'arguing' about their medicines right down to making fun of themselves...HAHAHAHAHAHA...i bet Barack Obama haven't seen that one in person...:D...but anyway, we had a GREAT time with him before they finally excused themselves for their well-deserved rest...as soon as they called it a night, we all went straight to crash in Mazhar's room and there is where we finally managed to loosen up...that night is filled with laughter, cursings, bitching, and the best part, imitating our favourite characters from our favourite Disney movies...and all HELL broke loose, eventhough its already late at night!!!...but what the heck, we went nuts portraying our own rendition of Aladdin lah, Little Mermaid lah, Pocahontas lah, Cinderella lah, Snow White lah, Mary Poppins lah...HAHAHAHAHAHA...it sure pur a smile face again everything i thought about it...but it sure a total BLAST!!!...and it all happens under Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's roof!!!...how weird was that???!!!...;P
So yeah, that was it, a good ending for my otherwise a boring week...can't wait for this weekend actually, where me and my sisters and my nephews and nieces are planning to splash around at KL's premier water park, Sunway Lagoon!!!...GOOOSSSSSHHHH i can barely remember when was the last time i was there...but i'm pretty sure it's more than 10 YEARS AGO!!!...and i'm pretty sure too that Sunway Lagoon sure has upgrade itself since then...can;t wait to get back there ans surprise myself...olritey then, time to get busy (in order for the time to swift away :P)...til then, C YA!!!

A Friend named TWITTER!!!


Yeah...i realised it has been 10 days since my last post...well, not only i'm pretty much occupied with chores, both personal and family (event) ones, but right now i'm pretty much hooked to this new, up and coming community portal (a..a..a...before any of us assumed it's another 'Facebook' or 'MySpace') that enables you to update yourself no matter where you are, what you do 24/7...Twitter provides you with 1 basic profile that includes basic infos about yourself...you can put your picture if you want to, send messages and even block anybody who's not pleasing or appetising enough for you...and you know what, basically THAT WAS IT!...it sooooooo basic coz Twitter is not about letting go your expression or alter ego type of portal, it's just a medium of letting you and your followers (yup, friends are named 'followers' in Twitter) what are you up to...for me, this is a concised alternative to blogging, doesn't require any softwares or applications but yet with all the updates that you put up, people can straight away get the idea of what you're up to and they might even tell where you are as well...a one stop Human GPS if i must say so...and Twitter can even be installed in your Blackberry (named TwitterBerry), so you can ENDLESSLY and CONSTANTLY make yourself visible to everyone about what happening to you, your day and even the people around you...wooaahhhhhh this thing is gonna be BIG SOON ENOUGH!!!...i'm getting the hang of it as we speak...and within 2 days i've managed to have 4 followers interested to know what am i up to...hahahahahahaha...owh well, i'm twitting out now...c ya soon!

Cracking My Inner WOOHOOO!!!!!

Yup!!!...I got nothing much to say about last week and my last weekend but the ROCK ON sign!!!...bukannyer selalu dapat enjoy my days the way i had spent it on some of the days last week...and like they say, you'll never get to experience things or days the way you want it to be...well, for my case, i think i did...and a CRAZY one at that...let's see, where should i begin...olrite...let's start with JASON MRAZ's concert...yup, i was right, eventhough i can only hum along on some of his songs (which happens to be his mainstream singles), but by the end of the day kan, it was AWESOME!...Jason Mraz indeed one of those rare gems when it comes to artistic mofo out there!!!...we all felt the air of HONESTY in his performance...dah lah i went with my closest cousins and bumped pulak ngan some of my MMU juniors, we all danced our way bagai nak rak lah kan...and the way he engage his feelings with the audience is something that our local acts should look up to...TAK BERPURA-PURA...he really stripped himself down (do digest that by reading between the lines yerr ;P)...no fancy outfits, no out of this world gimmicks, it is more like an intimate jamming session but in a bigger scale, but then again simplicity is applied right from the main ensemble all the way to the lightings and such...although there is some yawning numbers (thanx to my lack of research of his songs) and also the dissapointment for featuring a not-so-right duet partner for 'Lucky' (the chosen is a local Chinese singer named Penny Tai, rumoured to be making waves in Taiwan now...whatever!!!)...not only shes not well-known, but she even had the nerve to showed up late for her slot resulting in the fans to sang the first verse with Mr. Mraz...not that it's a bad thing for the fans really (c'mon, singing with Mr. Mraz in his famous duet number...how rare can that be?)...but we all rather continue sang our lungs out with him rather than that lousy 'artist'...yeah Mr. Mraz, although you introduced her with all the cheesy compliments like 'beautiful and talented', that doesn't portray enough through our eyes :(...but after all that, the concert sure is rocking everyone's socks off...walaupon ade jugaklah some cheesy acts like the 'I LOVE KL' top, but ppl had a really great time with the show...and hopefully he'll stay true with hsi words by promising 'This is our first time in Malaysia, but it'll definitely not be our LAST'...see you soon perhaps?...hopefully...;P
 Hmmmm...ape lagi yang berlaku last week ekk...owh yeaaahhh...our date with LUSCIOUS at The Apartment, KLCC...HAHAHAHAHAHA...this can be considered as the highlight of my weekend...walaupon tempat tu adelah sebuah restaraunt je sebenarnyer, but we giggled and howling ourselves like nobody's business...it all took place on the second floor (privacy lah sket...kot...:P)...LUSCIOUS took the platform around 9 pm (too small to call it a stage), and from there on we just sang along to some of the tunes and one by one our friends showed up with the brightest smiles, just what we need for a sweet yet perfect hangout session...even kawan2 yang susah nak jumpa pon tetiba showed up malam tu...lagi lah byk sesi berpeluk2 dan mengilai dijalankan...and not to mention cam whoring moments...mmg GILA dan BEST BANGET!!!...and the setting of the place does create the right mood for everyone...boleh baring2 and all...everybody's seems to be in a more relaxed manner...eventhough the sound system is rather BAD (restaraunt nyer sound system...how high can you expect pon kan) but knowing that almost everyone was there, semua technical flaws ditolak tepi and we all just let loose all night long...dah lah ade diantara kitorang malam tu baru je selamat ditunangkan, and ade jugak yang datang jauh dari Labuan malam tu sama2 naik hantu ngan kitorang...MMG GILERRRRR!!!...seriously nak ceritakan semuanya dalam ni mmg berjela lah jadinya...but overall, it's a lovely night...a night where everyone boiled ourseleves down and bonded as friends, no matter what your professional life or race is...sume orang equal and appreciate one another...we're all glad being there seriously...hopefully it'll be a good starting point for everyone to hang out more often now that everyone knows that life is about togetherness and sharing...
And last night, dah lama rasenyer tak buat impromptu plan...so me and a friend of mine semalam tetiba tergerak hati nak tgk movie pulak all of a sudden...hahahahahaha...tanpa berfikir panjang kitorang redah terus ke MBO Ampang tu and get the tickets...we went to watch 'WATCHMEN'...one comment...DON'T WATCH!!!!...hahahahahaha...WATCHMEN lovers akan suka giler lah kot...but as for me and my friend's case...we don't even know what WATCHMEN is...let alone buying the comics or knowing the characters and what not, the movie failed to create the fan out of us...dah lah lama giler movie tu...mmg tak worth it...visual fest mmg BEST GILER i must sat...very believable...tp tu je lah nilai esthatic nyerrr...but the fact that me and my friend end our week with a movie night mmg gilerlah...mmg serious lama giler kitorang dah x buat...
Hopefully this week ade plan lah lagi hendaknya...i'll be keeping myself busy for the preparation of my sister's wedding that is exactly one month from now (ARRGGGHHHHH...PANICKING!!!!), but this morning my another friend called and planned for another get together somewhere in PJ for some NASI KUKUS KELANTAN party!!!...yeahhhh...our friend tu nak bungkus Nasi Kukus for all of us specially prepared in Kelantan!!!...hahahahaha...that sounds like a weekend plan for me already...hahahahahaha...dahlah aku cuti Friday and Saturday ni (WOOHOO!!!)...and most probably me and my sis akan drive back to Rembau and Seremban, Negeri Sembilan to hand out our wedding invitation utuk sedara-mara belah sana pulak...fuuuhhhhhh...another packed weekend for me lah ni...but i hope it'll be a good one...hehehehehe...til then, C YA!!! ;P

p/s: last minute highlight...i heard ade orang PANAS dan BERASAP dengan hang out session kitorang alkisahnyer...siap cuba nak selidik bagai...HAHAHAHHAHAHA...tak nak comment lebih lah...;P

Nak Enjoy Dengan Friends dan Mr. Mraz!!!

(Sambil menarik dan melepaskan nafas 'lantaklah') HAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH...yup, malam semalam aku dah tgk muka2 para calon pelajar AKADEMI FANTASIA musim ke-7...and yup, as expected, muka aku takde pon kat situ...bermakna sekali lagi aku gagal melayakkan diri...sama macam tahun2 lepas jugaklah...Ntahlah, ada yang cakap bukan rezeki aku kali ni, tapi...hmmmm...dahlah, penatlah nak elaborate...agaknya adalah kriteria diorang yang mmg takde dalam diri aku agaknya...whatever it is, AF will resume its seventh season starting this week...apalah pulak dramanya kali ni agaknyer ekk...sama2 KORANG nntkan yer...aku dah tawar hati...:P

JOM KITA ENJOY!!!
Hehehehehehe...aku x naklah frust2 dah...yang penting, seperti gambar di atas, aku IN A VERY HAPPY MOOD SEKARANG NI!!!!...MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA...not only because my boss will not be around until next week, tp juga malam ni aku dan beberapa rakyat Malaysia yang lain nak let loose and unwind with the soulful tunes of JASON MRAZ!!!...yup, tonight's the night...WOOHOO!!! :D...tapi sebenarnyerkan, secara jujurnya, aku tak tau sangat lagu2 Mr. Mraz kita ni...selain dari the overplayed 'I'm Yours' and 'Lucky' (speaking about 'Lucky', it is a song that i bet people are anxious to see who will be his duet partner for tonight) ada jugaklah aku tau 'Remedy', 'Geek In The Pink', 'You n I Both'...and...tu je lah kot...and semua taken from different albums...tapi my motivation is when i watched his documentary on his European tour...not that it's a huge scale tour, but it's the complete opposite...he is like selamba giler in an AWESOME way...eventhough i watched from his DVD, but from there aku dah boleh engaged dengan performance dia...so that's why i decided to check him out now that he's in town...hopefully samalah hendaknyer...so Mr. Mraz...You're Ours Tonight!!! :D

Aku nak nampak busuk dan tak mandi macam dialah malam ni...YEAHHHHH!!! :P

What else ekk planned for me this week, owh yessss, the girl group that i'm closely linked to, LUSCIOUS is out there for a showcase again...this time, the venue will be in APARTMENT, KLCC...so this Saturday 7th, me and my buddies will be there for support and to loosen up to cherish one another's presence and have a good time...hopefully this time no more impromptu surprises lah ekk, coz their last showcase in Bangkok Jazz, tetiba je i ditarik naik stage with LUSCIOUS and kene buat vocal sparring plak dgn diorang...i know it's an attempt to get connected with the audience, tp why me? :P...owh well, nak buat camner, tau dah ade depan tu dgn diorang, so nyanyi je lah kan :P...but seriously the people there that night mmg sporting giler...naik hantu jugaklah aku dibuatnya...tapi aku kene beringatlah kan, tu bukan show aku, so sebelum semua take advantage, i put a stop to it terus...fuhhh lega...:P...so this weekend, aku nk orang lain pulak merasa naik stage...MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :P
Well, i'm all set for a good weekend...til then...C YA!!!...

Nak 'KHABARKAN' pada semua...LUSCIOUS SHOWCASE, APARTMENT KLCC, SATURDAY 7th MARCH 2009 at 8pm!...:)
