Ever since Aina introduced to me this soulful singer, I fell in love with his voice and music. His songs just calms me down (especially now there's loads of leeches)
Magic
Lost without you

JIHAN SURRENDER???
On Friday afternoon, a kind soul alerted me with regards to this article. I got her to text me the details of it. Searched my area for the magazine but it has yet arrived. But a phonecall was made.
I finally grab hold of the magazine on Saturday morning and read through every single details of it. It was exactly as per text message.
I find it sad cause this is the magazine I supported since Day 1. Every artistes who'll be doing promo will be informed so that they will get the first hand coverage. I still remember the extra mile I went just so that Maya Karin was on the front cover of April issue.
I find it such a shame cause this is an established magazine yet they don't practise professionalism and journalism ethics.
Friends who read gave me their kind supportive words; something I truly appreciate. But I find it extra comforting when Boy aka Suzairhe wrote this:
Suzairhe Sumari ---> JJ: Take a chill pill. Imagine how we, the artistes felt when some news are just for the sake of entertainment. Our life, dignity, etc etc, semua at stake. Hmmm... Just remember one thing - KITA ADA DIA - ALLAH. What goes around, comes around. THEY will get triple 'balak' in future. So just angkat tangan and doa di bulan mulia ni - Awal Muharram.
I now know how artistes/celebrities feel. Then I started to wonder... what do these magazines get in return? Their magazine sales increases? Their popularity as the bitchiest journalist increases? Only they (the journalists) will know what's the motive behind these stories. But 1 thing for sure, the guilt for spreading untrue stories will be in them forever.
Like Boy said, since its Awal Muharam (the new year in Islamic calendar) I prayed to ALLAH. Not only to Kak/Pak Nam but the prayers are also for the rumour makers and gossipers. I've heard alot being said about me. But come to thing back, didn't they said the same things about their previous?
Semoga ALLAH mengampuni dosa-dosa mereka. Semoga ALLA memberi mereka kesempatan untuk berubah, insaf dan menjadi seorang yang berahlak dan berakal. Dan semoga mereka dijauhi dari rasa khianat n dengki. Amin Ya rabbal 'alamin! ALLAH lebih mengetahui.... Insya ALLAH ps: Kak/Pak Nam... I know who you are ;)
Another creation of Edry. Coming from him.... it's for sure meletop! lol The lyrics is about 2 individuals who are opposites but they can sure rock the world when together!
By the way I caught the trailer and it's just how I first read the script in August last year. It went as planned. Therefore kudos to Afdlin and team ;)
Another song from Malaysian singer that caught my attention a few months back. Initially I thought it was F.T (better known as Faizal Tahir) but knowing that man's vocal was much stronger, I stayed glued to the radio to know about the singer. Ahhh its Akim AF7 (my godness AF da season 7!) hahhaa A nice song n nice vocals...
It has been a great week for me. My new team's up! All set and geared for 2010. Syukur Alhamdulilah.

On expecting the unexpected
Wow! I've abandoned this blog of mine for almost 2 weeks. Within this weeks, there's so much activities going on... paranormal activities? hahaha...
Ok birthday first... 11 Nov falls on a Wednesday. So Wednesday being Idols' Day, we proceed the day as norm. Upon arriving Mediacorp's reception, my babe Ally called me up and brought me to our usual lepak place. Halfway through the "discussion" better known as bitching session, the man came singing me a birthday song in different falsetto (or so he thinks). Haha. So it was Ally+Hady and chocolates. Awesome!
The next day went as normal for me. I was kinda disappointed at first cos no one asked me out. Not even my siblings, cause everyone was busy with work and stuffs. Not until around 6ish when Faizal texted me about "my party". It triggered me. So I played along with the game.
I got home at around 8ish. I've expected a surprise from just my family. But the presence of my besties just got me jaw-dropped. So the people were: - Kim who was suppose to be on a long haul came with her boyfriend. - Karin, who was supposed to be in HK came with Kayden and Karmen. - Syamie who was supposed to send Aysya to school. But both came! - Sadat who was supposed to 'blanja' me but didn't turn up was at home all along! Idiot! lol - The least expected, Wak Dol and Nis... - Hafizah, Fykaa and Shahidah were there too.
I was sincerely touched by the surprise. Honestly the birthday was how I've always wanted it to be; a party just us (family and best friends). Too bad, Ally and Min couldn't join as they've got APEC rehearsal. Otherwise it will be complete. Nevertheless, it was real nice! I can never thank them enough!
On Saturday it was one hectic day for me. I had to attend Kak Long's kenduri as she's leaving for Haj today. Since mum is cooking for her curry, I being the best cousin offered to bring it over to her place. Being nice does have its "reward" and mine came in as a big spill on my Cavalli... dopeshit! sigh. Therefore I had to skip a friend's wedding. After my jeans was alil dried up, I rushed to shop to change and head down to Mediacorp for RayAkustika with Abg Ami, Janz and Jana. We were there basically to support Yuz and his band plus Abg Yan, who's the producer. Rancour did a nice version of Sepasang Kurung Biru. We left after their performance as we've got another wedding to attend.
After the wedding, us having nothing to do, decided to enjoy the lights along Orchard Road. Some crazy stuffs happened and it was totally unforgettable. lols.
I spent the next few days having dinner with friends. My 28 was a sweet one indeed!
Last Wednesday was another unforgettable day. It came sooner than expected. Faizal was eliminated from Idol. It was a shocking and breaking news to all. He has never been in bottom half before. Besides the way Gurmit puts it across was confusing. 2 senarios; either both are save or 1 will be joining Tabby on the bottom half. But there u have Faizal, standing all by himself in the middle of the stage. He was strong enough to hold on his tears. Kudos for that!
Duane Ho was the previous victim; never bottom but was booted out. They are just getting rid of 17year old boys... Or boys in general. It's a clear cut who will win this time cause the comments given were never constructive and always one-sided. Sexist?hmmm
That night I saw girls crying, disappointed faces and dreams shattered. But on the other hand I saw people from another camp (just 1 camp) giving high-fives and celebrating. I smile cause I know it's getting sooner that another man's dream will be crashed.
Nevertheless I am proud that Faizal has made this far in his Idol journey. I'm sure he has a bright future. His path to stardom has just began.
Ok I kow its lengthy.... Anyway I've decided to privatise my blog soon.
I turned 28 today. People say its the age. For me there's no such thing as too old or too young for things in life.
I am grateful and thankful for being able to walk this far in journey of life. I am thankful for being able to taste the bittersweet things in life. All the obstacles and hurdles are painful but they sure have made me stronger. Someone told me, Allah tidak akan menguji ummat NYA lebih dari kemampuan dia. And I agree.
I am thankful for having a great family and friends. They have been my pillars of support and strength. They have been the ones who urge me to move forward and to give the best. But the best have yet to come. I wanna do more! I wanna contribute more to these people and the society in future.Insya Allah
I am thankful for being given the opportunity to change. I am only human and mistakes are inevitable. But being given the opportunities, I learn from mistakes and avoid repeating them.
I am thankful for everything that I have and earned. Recent disasters just makes me realize how lucky I am.
I am thankful for everything I've went through in life. There's no need for rewind or deleting them.
Therefore I pray to Allah to continue giving me the strength, the health, the wealth and the intelligence for me to continue living, providing, accepting and loving.
May I be someone who's gonna be helpful/resourceful to the family and society. Amin.

I wanna know what love is...
When I heard Mariah Carey's version on radio a month back, I "fell in love" with her once again. She is the Mariah Carey I used to adore; the beautifully toned singer. She reached the top note perfectly.
Oh yes... Rockefeller Plaza! I'll see you in winter 2010!haha

Hello/Halo
It's been a long time since I last blogged. Phew!
I have not been in a good mood recently, Mood swings are now my good friends. I just don't know why. Maybe its the hormones... haha I tend to flared up at the slightest thing. No good! Or maybe cause Ive been being too nice that people doesn't know the volcano inside's ready to erupt. Ok I shall not comment any further.
Another busy week.
1) Faizal made it to Top 6! Syukur Alhamdulilah. Being in top 6 spot means alot to him and his family. For me, I'm proud to see where he is now. It has always been his dream to be on Idol. The day Taufik Batisah won Singapore Idol, that's the day Faizal made the same declaration that he wanna be an Idol. Hopefully Allah answer his prayers and put him to where he should be.
Mr Influencial said its gonna be a girl this time, but I beg to differ. Now his stakes is 2/6... so let's see! haha
2) Pianka's new album It's gonna be out finally!! After months of preparation and hard work from all parties it will be out mid-Nov in Jakarta and in mid-Dec in Singapore. Yours truly has been busy making all the works and plans... so hopefully this time I'll nail it.
3) Malam Lagenda Seri Dewi It's happening this Sunday at Singapore Indoor Stadium. Dato's outfit are all ready and she tried them today. It fits her perfectly. Alhamdulilah. I think I'll skip the opening shows and go straight to her performing 35songs.
Still I wished it should be Fique or HM performing alongside her ;)
Hmmm its 6more days but I don't feel the vibes. Age is catching up on me...~blueks~
(It onli take a few seconds of ur life to lit up sum1's day... n if u manage to put a smile on tat person's face in d mrng, it could last him/her d whole day...
My philosophy in life...)
