sedihnya ending...

it was a good rehearsal this saturday even though i went to school late cos i woke up at 11am and i supposed to reached by 9am. i took the taxi right after i burnt the songs into the cd so that the rehearsal will run much more smoothly with the selected songs in some of the scenes.

the rehearsal for the final scene ended with tears. well a few of them, but it gave me and the directors the feeling of satisfaction, relieved and happy that it was a great ending. everyone applaused. wow, speechless. i'm very sure this is going to the best production ever made even though we were all not trained by instructors but by experience so expect some mishaps lah. but anyway, its a school production, so gotta support these young people for at least made a great effort for using the time doing all this tedious but exciting job.

after that i went to ngee ann poly with my band mates to watch one of our guitarist playing with his ska band at a gig there. banyak muka2 melayu, seperti biasa jugak.

Too Lame To Be True

of all board games, which board games you all like most? for me i think its monopoly and risk. but i think these games are good for 4 to 5 people. too many gotta wait long, too little won't have the challenge.

i've made my own board game. i don't have a name for it. i will bring my board game during the pre-production camp in NYP and let the kids to play the prototype. i use simple and easy to get stuffs like cardboards and drawing block. i got to create many types of gameplay and rules that i can implement when i tried to play with my brother.

i'm so afraid that if i joke too much, people will find it lame. cos i did it just now. i felt ashamed for a moment. but i learn from my mistakes.

so far i can see that the way england play against sweden were outstanding. owen's departure due to injury, to me is a good thing because i think rooney and crouch should be upfront. one is for ground attack while the other go for the air attack. just sweet.

production is coming. i'm so excited. the audience will love the story. and i'm sure they will also love our dance and music performance.

Joget Jawa MengAsyikkan!

wireless router aku macam kentut!!!!!!!!
u see my router can connect via LAN and Wireless LAN. my uncle bought for us for the sake of my sister. she got a laptop and she needs an internet connection. but right now, the router does not work on my PC, suspected becos i use an old operating system, Windows 98. but the wireless LAN works for my sister's laptop. so that sucks. for many hours i tried to configure but it ain't bloody working!!!! pantat!!!!!

had a rehearsal at school just now. i just realised we had only 3 weeks left. how time flies so fast. Act 1 was getting smoother. so its time for Act 2. the introduction was superb especially the dancing part from joget Jawa to joget ala Silat. but the instruments played were the best. the sounds of the chanang during the joget Jawa betul2 buat aku terasuk masuk ke jiwa ditambahkan lagi dgn langkah tarinya yg sungguh mengasyikkan. fuuuh! pastu the fast beat of the kompang for the joget ala Silat membuat diriku nak melompat2 terus membuka langkah, pasangkan kaki kuda2 dan membuka jurus Machan. fulamak to the max!

England menang dua kosong! Yahoo! nasib baik aku boleh dpt channel indon, SCTV. kalau tak miss lah aku.

puteri cute punya




yesterday i didn't go to the cookhouse at all for my lunch and dinner. instead i ate roti with kaya and margarine. the problem was i ate too much. imagine satu bantal roti habis bila masuk waktu malam. i think lunch i ate about 6 slices of bread, maybe more. roti kaya sedap ah... favorite.


a scene i took from the tv
while waiting for the 9pm world cup match, i was mesmerized by Nora Danish in the sitcom Puteri on malaysia channel, TV3. she played in the movie Gila2 Pengantin Popular. i love that movie, especially her. cute ah. she looked like Rossa the indon singer.

the 3am match between brazil and croatia was the best ah. to see croatia tried hard to get a goal and got many chances made me awake. after the game ends at 5am, i overslept till 6.45am which i supposed to wake up at 6am. good thing my partner woke me up.

The Old Goes for the New

the inside of the new PC
the old PC
testing the new PC


i can build my own PC! aku berjaya! all the way i was confident that i can do this. after i got green light from my father that he's going to sponsor for the motherboard, i discarded my old pc's parts such as the power supply, hard disks, video card, and place onto a table. after all the wires i pulled out, i studied a few connection wires from the CPU casing to the motherboard especially the on/off button, the fan, the LED etc. this is to get myself ready when i get a new casing and motherboard.

and so i bought the motherboard and an Intel Celeron 'D' 2.26GHz chip processor, with a white but simple casing all worth $255. back home, around 11pm, i started my work. opened everything from the box. first start was to insert the chip into the motherboard. then insert the wires while reading the manual book. it took me quite long hours becos to put the small wires to the motherboard was my first time. then i put in the hard disks and my cd-rom and connect it to the motherboard. at around 4am, everything was settled, so its time to install the Windows. i press the ON button and it works! Wah! at this point i was happy like hell. then i install the operating system, Windows 98SE. as usual i use Windows 98 becos Windows XP too expensive to buy ah. at around 5.30am, i turned on Winamp and play Bob Marley songs! Hooray! i have built a personal computer for me! sungguh happy tak terkira.

so apakah rancangan aku yg terbaru? well i thought of building another PC from my old PC since the old one only left the casing that's been with me since secondary 2, a motherboard and a power supply. but that i think will be a long term goal ah.

so right now, i'm going to surf and surf the web all day and take pics more and more and put it in my blog for all to see.

mati for a while

im still using my sister's laptop and she's getting frustrated more and more. tak sangka adik sendiri pun boleh lokek sampai tu macam.

nevermind then, i may not be updating my blog frequently due to no computer. still researching on which motherboard is best for me. need to save $200 for that, maybe more.

ok, so now i got nothing special to talk about. yesterday was very bored. i went out alone cos my friend were too sleepy to go out. i went to national library to read some books then i went home. boring shit... i'm not gonna do that anymore lah.

Pabila MCG Menangis

yesterday's rehearsal looked more smooth. the next one will be more mendalam because its going to be more of acting skills, facial expressions, movements and voice projection.

after the rehearsal, had an intense talk. segala-galanya telah diluahkan. but the best talker was fai, i was smiling all the way cos he really broke the tensions that's piling up. but i really hope that the newbies won't get affected mentally. anggaplah kejadian tersebut sebagai sesuatu yg membina dlm hidup kamu. when i'm on my way home, aku terkenang kembali bila aku masih newbie di MCG.

waktu tu, drama was part of this group from Bishan. kira dorang under CC. they work together with MCG. MCG had 3 sub groups which were tarian, dikir pompuan and this bishan group. this group also had its own tarian and their main one, gamelan. the seniors there also had some kind of disagreement becos some of the seniors from the drama and the tarian side wanted to leave the bishan group and open a new group at woodlands CC. the newbies which were me, rafi, heikal, farhan and the rests pun ikut ajer sebab kita kan under drama kan. so we separated with the group in Bishan and created a group in woodlands CC which for me was more convenient cos its near to my bukit panjang house. but of course the ending was a happy ending becos a drama group named Pusaka Seni, was created in MCG. the bishan group did not continue working with MCG. drama dorang da tak pegang, mestilah kan. hehehe
but even that, disagreement tetap masih berleluasa.

Pusaka Seni wanted to make a theatre production for hari raya show. i remembered, during the meeting with sub-groups and the excos, the president(graduated already) asked, the theatre production most of the slots were Pusaka Seni. abih tarian cuma ada dua slot ajer? aku mcm nak cakap ajer, bodoh peh president! kata THEATRE production, mestilah pusaka seni conquer. takkan nak letak 4, 5 slots untuk tarian kan? of cos i didn't say dat lah. hehehee.

disagreements, miscommunicationsmemang lumrah dalam sesebuah organisasi. itu memang boleh di atasi dgn duduk bersama-sama dan berbincang. cuma ada satu yg boleh merosakkan organisasi tersebut. Clans. MCG patutnya satu kumpulan. tapi masalah2 seperti disagreements dan miscommunications boleh menyebabkan terciptanya 'kumpulan-kumpulan' baru. tu yg bahaya. aku dah pernah lihat bagaimana clans boleh merosakkan persahabatan dlm sesebuah organisasi. So janganlah ia terjadi di MCG. please...

i love MCG. i made great friends there. i get to perform everything on stage cos thats what i love to do, performing. i learnt different kinds of malay arts like tarian and dikir. too bad i have to move on lah.
