my greatest weekend...with P.Ramlee The Musical

27 Oct 07

Wake up early today…because I’ve to go to the office and finish some work. Hai…sabtu pun kene kerja…my housemate muttering when I told her. Nak buat macam mana…

Finish my work at 6.00 pm when Amir, my friend call and ask for a date tonight. Hmm…why not..its been a long time I didn’t go out enjoy myself with all my friends. So, we agree to meet at my fav place, Oldtown White Coffee at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, near KLCC at 11.00 pm. Before that, at 8.00 pm, I have an invitation from Kiki, to go to her open house (just for our officemate who is still single..heheheh).

Khaidir and Mat Det pick me and Farah at 7.30 pm. Kiki live in Shah Alam, so it takes almost 1 hour from my office to her. On the way, we stop at Tesco and bought something for her.

Cham, Kiki’s husband is not at home when we arrived. Kiki mentioned that he is in JB for show and tour with fanz. Kiki cooked spaghetti and pizza for four of us, but I can’t eat too much because…terlalu pedas! But the others were eating like there’s a bunch of spaghetti in front of them. Memang kuat makan…

After eat, lepak for a while and watch Pirates of Caribbean 2 before we go home at 11.00 pm. I ask Khaidir to drop me at Oldtown and there, I meet the others.

It’s been a long time I didn’t meet and talk with Amir, and surprised me, he looks so thin. Hey…what happen to you dear? Putus cinta kah?? We discuss everything..zapin..new handphone…Johor…until 1.00 am. Then, next destination is Danau Kota, Setapak. Amir wanted to buy spongebob bear…and I think of some new shoes.

After got what he wanted, we go home at 3.00 am..and I’m fall asleep in 3.30, after reading some books. Can’t sleep well, I feel headache…maybe because of drink too much white coffee. Nak buat macam mana…my fav drink =)

28 Oct 07

Wake up late after pray Subuh…10.00 am, I prepare myself to go out to the next open house, at Wadieburn Army Camp in Setapak. Kak Ani come and takes me at 12.30 pm.

Kimi serve us with Laksa Johor and mee hoon goreng. Her laksa is sooooo delicious! Siap tambah dua kali lagi…

After lepak at her house for almost two hours, we go to Istana Budaya, to watch P. Ramlee..The Musical. My dream plays this year….

When we arrived, it so hard to find empty park..all full because everyone come to watch this play. So we park at Balai Seni Lukis Negara…and exercise by walk away to Istana Budaya.

The musical play start 15 minutes late, but I didn’t mind at all. Yang penting I’ve already have the ticket, and now, I want to enjoy myself, watching my fav male singer, Sean Ghazi as P.Ramlee. heheheh…

Watching it for almost 3 hours…and I..keep stick on my seat..my eyes didn’t shift from the stage, watching every step and every way all the actor and actress played. I really feel it…adore the way of Azizah (Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza) allow P.Ramlee (Sean Ghazi) to go to Singapore to expand his career, sad when Junaidah (Atilia) ask a divorce from him, cry and angry with Norizan (Melissa Saila) because of her disloyal and simply love the way Saloma (Liza Hanim) and P.Ramlee madly in love. Hei….what can I say about this musical play?

This is one of the best musical plays I’ve ever watched. Such a great great musical play…so amazing and impressive! I love everything about this plays…the actors…the actress…choreography…the set…the prop…the songs…the music….everything! Sean Ghazi is such a great actor..and he can feel who is P.Ramlee in himself. His voice is such a great voice. (And that’s the reason makes me admire him so much! He is one of the reasons why I came to watch this plays =)). Among all his wife, I simply love the way of Melissa Saila bring herself as Norizan. She is the best actress in this play for me. The way she feels it, makes myself mad at her. Congratulations to you Melissa!

Not only Melissa, Liza Hanim also good as Saloma. Her voice is suitable with the way Saloma is, and the way she sing and act…sebijik cam Saloma.

Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza…emm…her acting is okay. But I love the song she sings for P.Ramlee when she asks him to go to Singapore.

Anything else about this plays? The choreographer? Well, one of the best. I think greater than PGL the Musical. And the music…oooohh…I love the music. Love all the songs! Engross me away. Especially the song from Siti Nurhaliza and the one that Saloma duet with P.Ramlee (from the movie of Bujang Lapok). Congrats to Erin Gutawa for making all the greatest and best music and for this P.Ramlee the Musical.

At the end of this play, we all the audience stand up, clap and yelling happily to all actors and actress. I lost myself for 3 hours, and also the end, I forgot who I am, yelling and whistling each other. When Sean Ghazi appears, I feel like wanna jump from my seat and run to him, shake his hand and said congratulations to him…but…hmmm…..I’m okay...still lucid and fine. Not crazy enough to do something like that even I admire him so much. =)

After enjoy for almost 3 hours, we go out, talking and muttering about the musical play. I try to find out whether Sean Ghazi and other actress are all around but failed. I just saw Datin Seri Tiara Jacquilena walk out from Istana Budaya, cheering happily with her friend.

Arrive home at 8.00 pm. I plan to continue writing my novel but my mind still hang and thinking about P.Ramlee the Musical. Feels like wanna watch it again, but the tickets sold out already. I hope there will be next P.Ramlee The Musical 2...so that I can watch it again. To all my friends out there, go and watch this musical play. So worth of it and I’ll dare say, you will love it! Congratulations again to all the actors and actress, Adlin, Zahim, Erin Gutawa and the producer, Tiara Jacquilena, for making the greatest musical play this year!

P.Ramlee The Musical

Have anyone watch this play? I'm gonna watch it this Sunday with my friends. Its been a long time I didn't watch any musical play, the last one is Ronggeng Rokiah, last year. I wanna watch PGL The Musical last August but the tickets sold out already. So now, when I heard that Enfiniti Production gonna publish new play, I set on my mind..I must watch it!Well, play is one of my interest. Masa student dulu selalu gak keluar tengok teater ngan geng study. Now, as a worker, I don't have much time to enjoy myself. Life just in the office, at home or Kinokuniya(reading books).

Wait until I watch it tomorrow, then I will post the story here...

Story....from the first day raya

11 Oct 2007

Arrived on 5.00 pm, after flight landing on 4.30. My eldest brother, Sham take me take me home. He looks very happy; I guess maybe because of me and others come back home after a year.

Home sweet home…when I arrived home, I got stunned by the changes of my little house where I grow up. There’s a lot of new thing added and old things gone..especially all the ducks in front of my house. Well, my father is a farmer and he also have some ducks..value added. But now, since daughters, all her sons and us all are in good condition and stable so he decided to sell all of the ducks and concentrate on his farm. Ohh…. I miss all the ducks. So many good and bad memories with all of the ducks…and I was with them since I was one year old. Ducks are one of the simplest farm animals to have. Jenis ikut cakap semuanya…. and sometimes…so pampered with us..hahahaha…

Bersalam dengan mak…I saw her crying. And that almost makes me cry…wonder how she feel at that time. I’m the only daughter that is far away from her, and jarang-jarang balik…that’s why she so sad and crying, hug me. Mak…don’t worry. I will always be your good daughter. hm…listening to Aman Shah, Kepulangan yang dinanti makes her cry again and again and me also….touched.

After talking with her, I get my dear Afiqah, who is also interested to hug me. Afiqah…I miss you so much dear…. and then I asked her to try all the shirt and baju raya I bought for her. She looks really cute, and what makes me proud of her is, my mom told me that Afiqah would finish 5 more verse of Quran. Wahhhhhh…I’m so excited heard bout it. After she finishes it, I plan to take her to Kuala Lumpur and live with me. So that I can take care more of her.

6.00 pm. My elder sister, Suraya arrived home and we started talking about everything after a year didn’t met. Sue looks so ‘sihat’…so happy I think, lived near with her fiancée. My mother and all my younger sisters busy preparing for buka puasa. I’m very lazy to help, so I discuss with Sue about preparation for raya tomorrow. 10 minutes before buka puasa, my second brother, Ijam arrived and….hampess! He throws his shoes to me and we all burst out o laugh. Aparaaaaaaaaa…….

After buka puasa, we all started to cook and prepared all the things for hari raya tomorrow. As usual, Sue will ask me to help her and mom cook, my sister, Siti to clear up the untidy house, Wani to iron all the baju melayu and baju kurung, my younger brother, Iwan will help on lemang and pelita, lampu raya. Being half of one big family is such a special gift for me…and I can feel it now….

Menu for hari raya tomorrow, kari ayam, ayam masak merah and daging masak kicap. I prefer cooking ayam masak merah because it is my fav menu, so Sue agrees to cook daging masak hitam and mom will preparing kari ayam. Whooaaaa…I can feel something when I touched the knife to cut ayam. Heheheehe…I didn’t cook it for a year..and now I will start it again. Phewwww…berpeluh jugak nih…..i have to admit that I’m not a good cooker, I just know how to make a novel or a short story with a mountain of idea…or playing with my pc and my work. That is me…

We finish cooking at 1.00 am…and while me and Sue tidy the kitchen, mom go to bed and I heard Iwan and Afiqah yelling in front. They are played with mercun and bunga api, and didn’t invite me…haiiyaaa….

So, in 1.00 am in the morning, all of us playing bunga api with laugh and yelled at each other. Sham and Ijam try to use mercun and it works. It flied up there and sparkle in red, soooo beautiful! I feel like standing in front of KLCC while New Year countdown..watching every different of mercun sparkle here and there…

We sleep at 4.00 am (itupun selepas dimarahi ayah…sebab menganggu jiran sebelah..heheheheh)..

Wake up at 6.00 am…my eyes and my mind blurred…but listen to takbir slow down from the radio wakes me up. Sham and Ijam already take a shower and they busy with their baju melayu and songket. Sue didn’t join us to pray so she prepares breakfast and food to give to neighbors. I want to take a shower first but change my mind after saw Siti, Jue and Afiqah sitting sleepy in front of bathroom, waiting for Wan inside there. Kene tunggu turn la nampaknya…so I help Sue with her breakfast, ketupat and ayam masak merah.

Go out pray at 8.00 am. After finish praying, we all go back and saw Sue are ready with her baju raya. Bersalaman with my parents…mohon maaf zahir dan batin. And then we were eating together, one of my family traditions in hari raya. Macam makan besar time Chinese New Year la juga…

While eating, Razlan call me and wish me Selamat hari raya. He and others was in Malaysian Hall, celebrate it with other Malaysian student in Japan. “rindu ketupat mak..” he said, makes me and Sue grinned each other.

First day raya, we just stay at home…there’s a lot of people come…means no time for beraya and us to go out. Until night comes, we all are sitting in front of TV…watching CINTA the movie in NTV7. My fav Malay movie after all…

Second day barulah dapat keluar beraya. We go out in 10.00 am until 10 pm…so tired. Jue start packing all her stuff to go back to work tomorrow. She works with MAS as ticketing assistant; take a leave for two days only.

Third day raya…seems like others are tired too. My house start to become untidy again…but everyone seems so lazy to makes it better. At night, we all play mercun and bunga api again…but brutal than before. I keep three of bunga api on my left hand and try to play it all at once but…seems like it bring a bad thing to me. One of the mercun drops on my feet. Painful can’t describe with words… Jeeezzzzz……

Fourth day raya…I was in clinic. Go without my parents know about what happen to me…just my sisters and my brothers only knows. Alhamdulillah…its just a little burn skin so I just put a handyplast on it and try to act cool..or else my mom and dad will realize it. So kekawan sume…janganlah bermain mercun…so dangerous. Hehehehe.,..

Salam Aidilfitri

Selamat Hari Raya everyone...

To all my friends in cari.com, prem, sarah....selamat hari raya and maaf zahir batin..

To all my chatmate in TZA blog(hmmm...), Tengku Zafrul, mm, pak zawi, jean, j'da and caramel...salam aidilfitri...

And to all my friends di perantauan..Shidah..Nor..Hakim and every malaysian student in NIoT..and very very special to Razlan..this song is for you

Aisyah - Pulanglah

Termenung ku sendiri
Memendam rindu tidak menentu
Kasih suci murni yang kita bina
Hapus hancur oleh kata fitnah

Di pagi hari raya
Hati sayu mengenang dirimu
Mudahnya kau menggantikan diriku
Seolah cintaku tak berharga

Apakah suratan
Aidilfitri satu titik akhir
Sekian lama bercinta
Kau tiada di hari mulia

Keampunan ku pohon
Sekiranya aku yang berdosa
Pulanglah ku merindui mu sayang
Ku menanti dengan hati rela ( jiwa raga )

Pulanglah kepangkuan ku oh... sayang
Ku menunggu mu di hari raya



Kepada yang memandu pulang ke kampung..berhati-hati di jalan raya
Pandu cermat...jiwa selamat!

Food??

Raya fever again!

Monday such a boring day....weekend fever still hang around in my office...

This is raya fever! haiyyaa..this makes me not in the mood to finish all my work. My desk looks like my boss's desk..everything messed up, important thing mixed with unimportant thing..and that totally makes me feel headache...Kak Su bought a new Sony Ericsson so I tried her camera, wanna see how is the pics.

Actually, I really want to be a navy, that is my ambition since i was young(instead of being a novelist). But..have to forget it because of health prob. Being so frust of it, I've taken anything related to TLDM when I was in Kem Sungai Besi a few months ago for a meeting with my boss. Posters, postcard and also a calendar..just want to calm my frustrated.
Then I try my friend's hp again, to take some pics in front of my desk.

Then I reckon that Mak Tiri (title for one of our officemate that is famous as a busy body and bad talk about others) didn't come today. She's on leave...hahahahahaha...guys..you all happy when she's not around. One more thing, we all cheering up here because of raya. there will be 7 days more to go..and for me, there will 5 days to arrive back home. Hooo...I miss my family sooooooooooo much!
