SoccaStars VS Malaysia's Most Beautiful

In case you haven't watch these two reality shows let me give you some insights on these shows. Let me start with SoccaStars.

SoccaStars
This show is about football. A chance for football enthusiats no matter you are a 'budak kampung' ke 'budak bandar' ke as long as you like to play football and you are good at it. This is your chance for glory and stardom for the winner gets to play with Fulham in UK. A chance to play in EPL, siapa tak nak. Duh! Me, who have two left feet pun nak main kalo buleh (in my dreams lah kan). So far, the show doesn't only shows footwork, but also friendship, teamwork and a lot of sacrifices. 2 of the listed players have to leave unwillingly because of study and family. Sadis tengok. Oh yes, check out the Assistant Coach as well ;)


Malaysia's Most Beautiful
Regarding this reality show, hmm.. where do I start? If you read from the title.. it says Malaysia's Most Beautiful, but do you get to see it? Nope. None. Zero (sebut cam Adi Putra), Eelek. The women on this show only bashes and lashes out at each other. Fighting, crying and the lots. It makes you cringe and yelling, " oh come on! " Malulah. It is a disgrace. Buat malu kaum jek. They said, " We would like to search for women who has inner and outer beauty". Mana beauty dia pun tak tahu.

Two different reality TV. Two different genders. And which one shows togetherness, friendship and 'true' beauty? SoccaStars of course. Pop quiz: " Who is more evil? Male or Female?" Don't need to be Einstein to answer this would you mate? ;)

Have you ever wondered

Have you ever wondered why when we sneeze our eyes would be closed? I was driving the other day and when I sneezed I wanted to keep my eyes open because I was afraid that I would hit the car in front. People said that if we sneeze with our eyes open, they will popped out from our socket. Eeeeekkk betul ke nie?

Found this article regarding this curiosity --> http://www.ratlab.co.uk/sneezeeyes.htm

Any thoughts? Or is there someone out there who can sneeze with their eyes open?

Pelancaran Album Mawi and Mawifc

Sorry for the late updates. Wanted to update this blog yesterday after knowing about the 'pembubaran' Mawifc. But, sebab semalam macam emotional jek hehe, kang ter'emo' lebih pulak. So, today barulah update.

Yesterday morning bangun pagi nak pergi keje I was tired sebab balik lambat tengok Pelancaran Album Solo Mawi entitled ' Mawi.. Yang Tercinta'. The event finished around 12 midnight. So, bangun pagi penat tapi excited sebab nak share story and pictures with my friends. Went to the launching with my friends and family. We all conquer satu meja straight ngadap stage. TQ Sha. ( famous yek Sha, tiap2 ari nama jadik sebutan kat blog nie hehe). So, while I was driving on the way to office ( sambil tengah pikir apa bende nak digosipkan), heard on Radio Era that "Mawifc telah dibubarkan malam tadi". I was like "What!!!??"Biar Betul!! (cam iklan Maxis). I was there last night, camne plak buleh bubar?

The first question that pops up in my mind was "WHY???!! Kenapa??!!". Why must Mawifc dibubarkan that night? That particular event? Why?!! Out of all days, all events, why must they choose the night of his launching? Sampainya hati... and I felt, Sedihnya..... If I felt sedih, Mawi lagik sedih.


Mawi... Yang Tercinta

I bet by now, people has made their speculations of why it happened etc. To me, the committees had made their decisions. They must have their own reasons. But, honestly why do they need to make a press conference announcing their resignation at the event of his 1st solo album. Takleh ke tunggu lusa ke tulat ke, minggu depan ke. Kena ke buat press conference pun kalo nak resign? Takleh yek inform Mawifc sendirik nak berenti and suruh orang ganti? Ntahle, only they themselves know the reason to this.

Whatever it is, we would support Mawi. Malam pelancaran tu he sang 5 songs from his new album. Cinta Hakiki by Yasin, Aduh Saliha, Kian by Fauzi Marzuki ( memang best lagu nie, tak percaya belilah album ;) Perempuan by M Nasir and Lagu Cinta Lagu Jiwa. First time dengar Lagu Cinta Lagu Jiwa was masa nak makan kat gerai makcik kerek tuh, dengar memula cam OKlah. But, that night, best giler performance Mawi ngan M Nasir. Memang worldlah!!


Mawi duet ngan Sifu

Best giler performance lagu nie

Tengok gaya M Nasir nyanyi ngan Mawi best betul! Siap last2 tuh Sifu cam peluk budak botak nie.. kasik tunjuk ajar ye Sifu.

Apa2 pun, the decision has been made and Mawi need to be strong. I read from Dale Carnegie's book stating that, "Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be critized, anyway". So, Mawi, do what you feel is right. Cause the person who makes the decision is you and no one else.

Biasalah, manusia. The higher you go, the nearer you are to the top, many would try and pull you down. Takes things positively, no matterlah kiter nie Mawi ke or just a regular person. If you are a Manager, a Leader, or anybody, the higher you go, the harder it is, as people will try to pull you down. That's life.


M Nasir, Lukhman S, Loloq and Mawi

These are some of the people who worked behind Mawi's Album( keje balik tabir). Sungguh2 depa keja sampai tak balik sebulan M Nasir tu dok buat album budak bertuah bak kata sifu.

Hang in there Mawi, sabar bebanyak.. " cause it is a bittersweet symphony this life". Semoga tahu siapa intan dan siapa kaca.

Aduh mahkota terhempas

Barulah kusedar

Yang kusangkakan intan

Oh hanyalah kaca

Sesudah berdarah

Barulah kusedar

Jiwaku tercalar

Oh sakitnya

BUKAN KEPALANG

Juara Lagu Semi Final

First and foremost, nak ucapkan terima kasih to Pn Shahniza and Pn Haizan ( nama penuh nie hehe) for giving us the tickets to Juara Lagu Separuh Akhir- Irama Malaysia and Etnik Kreatif. Tq very much. Kalo tak, takdelah kitorang dapat tickets. TQ TQ .

Bukti tiket

So, yesterday after work we went to Alam Sentral for Muzik Muzik. First time ever nie I went to see Muzik Muzik. Tak pernah lagik in my entire life pergi tgk Muzik Muzik secara LIVE!, inikan plak Irama Malaysia, tak ku sangka. The only reason I went there in the 1st place... yes.. of course you guessed it right.. Mawi lah sapa lagik (terdengar sora2 kat luar tuh.. Mawi lagik, heheh nak buek camno sabar lah yek hihihi)

Beraturlah we all outside Sri Pentas tuh, penuh ngan budak2 cuti skolah.. takpelah yek akak2 nie pun join skali. While lining up, we kept our eyes to the doors.. mana pak guard pergi we all tgk manalah tahu Mawi World lalu ke kan. Bak kata Sha, " jealous betul kat pak guard" hehe dengar tuh pakcik.. jealous we all sbb pakcik2 guard nie sah2 dapat dekat ngan Mawi. Lepas nie I think I need to buy that 'Security' T-shirtlah, mana tahu it would come in handy one day ;)

So, at last we all dapatlah masuk studio rakaman Sri Pentas tuh. Takdelah besar sangat. Biler start show, tepuklah tangan, clap! clap! Ngantuk gak memula tuh, Irama Malaysia kan what do you expect. A few times (actually majority of the times) I kept asking Elly n Fida.. sapa yang nyanyi nie. Nampak sangat tak kenal artis2 baru nie. Yang I kenal pun, Ning, Rohana Jalil, To'ki and Andy Flop Poppy, Ruffedge, Mawi, Waheeda.. lelain tu memang tak kenal.

Comment of the show, masa Ning keluar tuh dah jerit2 dah orang, biler dia nyanyi terus cam

"huh? lagu apa nie? lagu seram ke apa?" Takpelah yek Ning, I guessed your Balada punya category Awan Yang Terpilu lagik much betterlah. Waheeda siap ngan gaya ala2 rap lagik. Teringat mamat duduk sebelah Elly sungguh2 tepuk tangan kasik sokongan kat Waheeda. Pastuh Ruffedge nyanyi lagu favourite Ale " marilah bergoyang...". Selama nie memang tak amik pot lah lagu nie, tp masa show semalam tetiba eh, cam kenal jek mamat yang rap sama ngan Ruffedge nie, geng sedozen tuh. Ropa2nya my-x-schoolmate dulu. Wahh! Ada kawan artis rupanya aku huhuhu. After the show, terjumpa ngan dia sempat gosip sat pasal Mawi, sian Mawi dia kata bz giler, depa ingatkan dia tuh robot agaknya, sana sini dia pergi. Nak pergi rehearsal pun kejap2 jek. Sian Mawi, jangan pengsan dah yek. And of course tepukan gemuruh pada... Mawi!!! ehhe sedap dia nyanyi semalam. Bukan 'bias' yek tp banding ngan Noraniza Idris punya lagu eish sedap lagik lagu 'aduh saliha'. Yang best dalam Noraniza Idris punya performance pun sebab penari dia sungguh2 menari. Sampai tercabut2 gelang daun pisang mamat tuh. Musti dapat A dalam tarian tu kan.. hehe jangan mare..

I thought these were the people who would get into the finals: 1- To'ki and Andy Flop Poppy, 2- Waheeda( Binafsa), 3- Mawi ( mustilah), 4- Ruffedge ( kasik support ngan member). Tapi masa memula they announced the people yang listed into the finals are: 1- Zehan ke apa ntah sorry tak ingat nama. 2- Rohana Jalil ( lirik lagu dia pendek giler) ,3- Noraniza Idris ( musti sbb juri2 tu suka tgk penari tuh sungguh2 tercabut gelang hehe). So, masa nie giler suspen dah.. suma yang I expect tak masuk dalam list... pastuh fuuh!! Alhamdulillah.. Aduh Saliha terlisted masuk Finals! YAHOOO!!!! ( tepuk2).


Finalists Irama Malaysia dan Etnik Kreatif

After the show, ramailah berebut2 tangkap gambar Mawi, masa nie maintain jek hehe sbb insya Allah jumpa Mawi lagik hehe ( berlagak2)


Malam tuh, we had our dinner at Junction Section 18. Lama dah tak makan situ. Dulu masa student situlah tempat makan. At first we wanted to eat kat gerai beside gerai Boy, tup2 dah takde. Suma gerai tuh dah tutup. We all try kalo ada lagik gerai 'makcik kerek'. Ada lagik rupanya, siap check tuh, " eh makcik kerek ada lagik". Actually masa nie terdetik nak tangkap gambar makcik kerek, tp kang terkozut makcik tuh, buang tebiat agaknya budak nie, so tak jadik. Lepas makan, pergi lalu depan asrama Section 18. Wah, lain dah.. especially asrama budak lelaki, cantik dah. Girls college, oklah lebih kurang sama jek.

Tapi, it seems there are a lot of cars. Kaya dah yek student2 zaman sekarang. Dulu, majority naik bas jek, Tak pun naik bas 'kunyit' a.k.a bas skolah. Kalo ada kereta pun, dua tiga kerat jek, tu pun kalo Kancil tuh selagi muat suma naik. Even kereta Kancil pun buleh muat 5 orang, kereta Proton tuh pun we all pernah naik sampai 7 orang, takyah tanyalah camne we all muatkan 7 orang sekali dlm kereta Proton tuh. Hehe punyalah nak naik keta suma orang, selagi muatkan... masuk2 ( nasib baik tak suruh buat 2 lane cam dlm bas mini huhu)

Sampaikan ada kes, ada this one lovely morning. We were on our way to class. From the boys college, kena lalu depan asrama girls ntuk pergi class, memang ada selekoh depan asrama perempuan. So, adalah kereta kancil nie.. laju jek cornering, mampat plak tuh keta tuh adalah 5 orang kot dlm keta tuh. Tetiba, eeekkkkk bunyi break, kat selekoh tuh.. terusss masuk parit besar.

sorry gambar blur, tapi nak gak tunjuk parit yang Kancil tuh terjelupuk masuk... hehe

Part 1: Budak2 pompuan pun intailah from our rooms, nak tgk kan what happen to the car and the passengers. Pastuh kan, elok jek we all tgk pintu keta Kancil tu bukak. Sorang2 kluar from the car, sampailah ke passenger yang last maintain jek jalan.. maintain macho hahhaha! Giler lawak, tak patah riuk pun... elok jek kluar dprd Kancil yang dalam parit tuh balik ke asrama budak lelaki. Kancil tu pun dibiarkan terbabas kat parit tuh.

Part 2: Petang tuh, datang2lah segerombolan budak2 lelaki, pergi ke arah keta Kancil tuh. Adalah bout 20 of them kot. Ingatkan nak buat apalah kan, rupanya ramai2 ( sebut ikut tone mawi), angkat keta Kancil tu kluar daripada parit tuh. Siap ready, 1,2, 3... angkat.... bleh kluar lak tuh Kancil tuh. Elok jek kluarkan keta Kancil tuh, terus owner keta naik, drive terus test power, wahhh can drive you know.. fast lagik.. tunjuk skill! Lawak2, teruslah dapat satu tepukan gemuruh daripada seluruh warga asrama girls tuh. Clap! Clap!! woohoo!!Hahahha! Lepas tuh, mmg byk gak aah kes2 terbabas especially motor, yang terbabas langgar pokok renek pun ada. heheh.. kenangan parit..

Raya Sakan

Assalammualaikum suma.. how was everybody's raya celebration? Hope it was great. Today is my 3rd day of working after a long holiday. Raya sakan kan hehe. Yesterday was the first time in my life invigilating exam. Lama pulak tuh.. 3 hours.. it was the longest 3 hours in my life (exaggerate sket). All my life I always been the student who took the exam and wouldn't care what the inivigilators were doing. So, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. At first I thought, " ok gonna read a book to kill those 3 hours" but they said it is forbidden for us to read while invigilating. So, OK lah.. yesterday, start jek the exam I sat at the back tengoklah kepala students tuh. Then, I was informed I need to walk around to check the students. Kena check ke? malas betul.. they said.. yep, have to in case the students bring 'toyol'. Teruslah bangun.. mana tahu budak2 nie bawak toyol ke kan. Teringat zaman student dulu.. memacam style toyol ada. After 1 hour of invigilating.. rasa restless dah... "oh no.. another 2 hours to go?? giler bosan.." after much waiting... n waiting n.. waiting n smsing to kill the time.. the head inivigilator announced.. "30 minutes left and sesiapa nak kluar buleh kluar sekarang cause after this kena tunggu sampai habis masa". A number of students went out.. in my heart I was hoping that EVERYBODY will get out.. yelah tak larat dah nie nak tunggu another 30 minutes. But, apakan daya.. sah2lah ada yang stay jugak. Dulu, I was like that as well tak pernah kluar awal.. tunggu gak untill the last second.. manalah tahu dapat ilham ke inspirasi last minute. When the head announced.. "time's up!". I was the first person who jumped out of my chair.. my 3 hours of torture dah habis woohoo!! 1 down 5 more exam invigilation to go.. *sigh*

Raya shows
As always during raya there will be raya adverts. My dad's favourite is the TM advert. The advert shows Deepavali celebration where there's a chinese couple who sings deepavali songs. A mat salleh getting ready to eat and a chinese lady asks him to wait. Once, the Indian host received an SMS announcing ' masa berbuka' then everybody starts to eat. But, its true. Even when you go to restaurants or hotel during ramadhan.. U will see Chinese and Indians will wait until it is time to 'berbuka', THEN only they will eat. Baguskan.. respecting other people's religion. Lastly, it shows during Hari Raya.. and the mat salleh baru tahu.. "oh now can eat.."

One of my favourite raya advert is the one with "Raju a.k.a Roger " and Suparjo a.k.a Joe". The one where the boy sang "Ikan di laut, asam di darat, dalam periuk bikin muafakat". I've never heard this song until last year when they 1st showed it on TV. My brother and sister told me it was an old song. My mom said the lyrics of the song lain dulu " Ikan di laut, asam di darat, dalam periuk bertemu jua". Its a song about jodoh. Yelah ikan kat laut, asam di darat bertemu jua.. kalo jodoh tu bertemu jugak. Ingat tu yek kekawan ;)

Iklan EON pun best hehe (paham2lah ye sbb ada Mawi) Furthermore, lagu tu dprd kecik kan.. sah2le hafal " Hari Raya, hari yang mulia, penuh bererti kepada kita.. * pastuh sambung sendirik ye *". My favourite as always Petronas punya. Usually, Petronas punya heart wrenching except last year yang Indian guy and Malay guy balik kampung and ended stating " takkan suma iklan petronas sedih". This year it shows about a girl who grew up with her father; a single parent. Her father raised her by giving her rewards for every achievement she had done. She got an A- , her father gave her a pen. She performed in her school act, she received a musical box of a ballerina. She joined sports, she received a sport shoe. Then, one day she went to buy Air Kelapa for berbuka with her dad and she saw a boy who was bathing his father who is blind. It changed her perception about life. Sweet, and heart warming advert. Suka betul iklan nie. Tips carik calon yang buleh ajar nilai-nilai murni :)

During raya, there were a lot of raya shows and one of it was Anuar Zain.. Aidilfitri di Perantauan. This shows really brings back memories. The show showed Anuar Zain celebrate raya at Manchester and Liverpool. It even showed the shop yang I always went to buy chicken, fruits and vege.

Sama tak macam Anuar Zain hehe

I have always wanted to study abroad since I was small. Tak tahu kenapa, but maybe it was due to watching TV shows and listening to people's stories about living abroad makes me interested. The dream became stronger when my sister went abroad. During those days, e-mails ke blogs ke tak reti and unheard of. So, my sis would send a THICK letter every month telling us about her life there and sometimes she will send pictures of her from oversea. Sronok tengok. So, after I finished school I enrolled myself to PPP under the American Degree Programme. Cita2 nak pergi oversea kan, but the dream tak jadi because gawat. Memang frust giler lah kan. But, suma bende ada hikmahnya, and I do believe in that. Because, if it was different, there wouldn't be any 'serangkai' in the first place and you guys wouldn't be reading this betul tak? Setiap perkara yang berlaku tu ada hikmahnya.. and I'm grateful of that.



The dream to study overseas akhirnya tercapai jugak. Alhamdulillah, dapatlah study kat Manchester. As it showed in the TV program yang Anuar Zain tu, memang camtuhlah celebration dia and the people there are very, very friendly. Bayangkan, let say you were walking in town, then you see a face cam malaysian. Just one word you need to ask " Malaysia?" and when the answer is "yes", by the end of the day, you would be lifetime friends and you would be invited to his/her home and you would know the person's family and neighbours even.

Ironic isn't it that people have to travel so far.. miles and miles away to meet a stranger and by the end of the day you would be lifetime friends and be just like one of the family. At this time, when people are selfish nowadays and unfriendly (senyum pun susah).

Hope we could instil the good things to our kids too -without the need to travel miles away to do such thing. "Nilai nilai murni" right here in our own country..... SELAMAT HARI RAYA :)
