PRTM.. the Masterpiece

It's been 4 days since i went to watch P Ramlee The Musical. And what can i say.. it was awesome, it was magical, it was breathtaking, wonderful, spectacular, incredible, astounding, mind blowing or should i say 'out of this world'! I was blown away.

Okay lah, maybe i am exaggerating things you might say, but at least that was how i felt after watching THAT musical about the legendary Putih Ramlee. The sets, the singing, the songs, the orchestra (lead by Erwin Gutawa), the comedy up to the ensembles, they were all magnificent! But if you ask me to pick one that really REALLY impresses me.. it got to be (without ANY doubt) the SETS. They were amazingly beautiful. I simply do not know how to describe it here. I just love it..!! It's not that the acting, singing & dancing were not good, no, they're great too. But there are still rooms for improvement. But overall, the show was brilliant!! 5 Stars!! Two thumbs up!! I feel lucky..!! Woohoo..!!

I like the opening gambit..

I felt sorry for all my friends and family who missed this musical because i felt that it should be shared with everybody (unfortunately that is impossible). I felt regret myself for watching it only once..huhuhu. The good news is that, there's a great possibility PRTM will be re-run. When? Just crossed your fingers. And when that happen, make sure you don't miss it...again. Last but not least, i dare to say that this 'masterpiece' musical is one of the many TRIBUTEs to P. Ramlee that will be remembered for as long as.. i don't know, hehehe.

Enuff said, here are photos for your imagination..Cheers!!

My musical weekend..

I'll be in Istana Budaya tomorrow nite watching 'P. Ramlee The Musical' and will not be able to catch Arsenal vs Man Utd match huhuhu. But it's ok coz i already know what the outcome will be hahahahaha.. Glory Glory Man United!!

My new friend..Philips

Tired of sweeping my room/apartment using the conventional broom, i've bought myself a new gadget or should i say 'a new maid' to help me out hehehe. It's a Philips FC6125, an 1.80kg electric sweeper.

Boring + 'sakit pinggang'

Being a lazy fat ass like me, lebih² lagi part sapu menyapu ni, i found 'Mr Philip' is so very practically helpful (at least to me hehe) plus it turns the boring routine of sweeping into a 'funful' experience muahaha..

Very very easy i tell u. Just 'surung tarik surung tarik' and there you are.. a clean room(s), clean living room and a clean kitchen hahaha. And the good thing is, now you can say goodbye to 'sakit² pinggang'.. if u know what i mean.

A good thing about my new friend Philips is that it's 'cordless'. Means that no more annoying cable running here and there while you are busy sweeping. All you need to do is just charge it as if you are charging your handphone and there you go, its ready up & running to do the job for you. Oh ya, the only thing is that Mr Philips needs about 16 hours to be fully charged..huhuhu.

The concept is just like a vacuum cleaner but this one comes with a bulit-in rotating brush underneath to sweeps up the dirt. So tiada lah lagi habuk² berterbangan semasa menyapu.. isn't that 'kewl'? Hehehe..

Mr Philips in my room

Also, with its compact & unique design i can easily clean even those hard-to-reach places & easy to store even in a very minimal space.

So kalau ada siapa² mau 'test drive' Mr Philips, sila la datang ke 'walai' ku ya. Tapi ingat, i need '16 hours' advance notice or else you will end up 'playing' with 'dead' Mr Philips muahahaha..

Saja saja...tiada kerja hahaha..

Bila makan..

...boleh kenyang!

Bila 'minum'...

... tiba² pandai Poco Poco ...

and...

... Gossiping (oppss :D)


Yo Mr Papparazzi..!!


New Friends
Buli bah kalau kau!!

Day Trip to Dinawan Island

I was in KK on the 13th Oct (1 Syawal) which was the first day of Aidilfitri for my nine days Aidilfitri break. I took the 4am flight & was fetched by Ms Kups at KKIA at around 6.30am right after landed. Btw, thank you Leo Fantasia, Dogoes & their friend kerana sudi menghantar daku ke KLIA jam 2am. Buli ba kalau kamurang.. Susah susah aje..

Back in KK, me & Ms Kups had our quick breakfast at Tg Aru, packed my things and off we go to Marina Sutera Harbour jetty to join the rest of the group members for the Dinawan trip. Other than Ms Pelangi, Ms Kups, Ms Clare, Ms Tompok & Ms Jane, the other group members were my 'new friends'. So biasalah, mula² tu ada yg 'shy shy cat' lagi kunun². Tapi diri ku ni macam biasa la, mana pandai malu wakakaka.. duli amat. All together, there were 9 of us.

You can tell the 'heat' from the face hehe..


Yatches parked at the jetty


Happy faces before daparture


Jauhnya renungan si Kups..hehe

We departed Marina Sutera Harbour jetty for Dinawan Island at around 9am and reached the beautiful island half an hour later. Upon reaching there, we were treated with our Welcome Drinks before we proceed adventuring around Dinawan. Saya yang 'jarang-jarang' pigi pulau ni apa lagi.. excited berabis la, padahal dari semalam belum tidur..

Touched down.. Dinawan, here i come!!


The Jetty






Behind the scene..


It's damn hot..

Led by our very own Ms Pelangi, we ventured around the Island.. e.g the beaches, the chalets, the gardens, the so called 'mini crocodile farm', the 'mini-rabbit farm' and also the lagoon which is about 30 minutes walk away from the jetty.





And what make all these activities even more interesting, fun & furious was that, all these venturing around we did it on 'our own risk' and under 'the scorching' sun!! Fuyooo..!! Ini yg pakcik tak bley tahan ni.. Habis sunburn muka & badan pakcik.. Huhuhu.. But still, i really enjoy it.

Oh ya, kami sempat lagi experienced 'an encounter with Mr Snake a.k.a. si ular hijau'. Sampai pengsan si Kups ketakutan.. No la juz kidding hehe.. Semua pun hero & heroin bah. But really, we did see a snake. Apart from the sandflies & 'pikot' attack, no serious injury reported. Bravo..


When the going gets tough, the tough gets going


My brain was actually 'boiling' inside hehe..




Finally at the lagoon..



We went back to the resort lobby around noon, cooling down & freshen up ourselves while waiting for the sumptuos buffet lunch to be prepared. Oh ya, kami sempat lagi menyumbangkan beberapa buah lagu di Karaoke Lounge.. Tidak juga rugi, sy sempat dengar si Nel menyanyi wo.. hehe. Sisik tapuk rupanya kau ah.. hehehe..Buli bah kalau kau.




Nyum nyum nyum..

Next was lunch.. and the lunch was simply 'Ummpphhh...!!". Apa tidak.. semua sudah kelaparan setelah penat 'jalan jalan cari pasal' around the island. Ada udang, ketam, sotong, ikan, satay, among others. Sadap wo... tapi sayang, teda 'ikan masin'..hehe.


Here i come Nemo..

After lunch we went for snorkeling. It was already around 2.30pm if I'm not mistaken. I really enjoy the part where we feed the fishes with bread. Tidak sedar² sudah berendam dalam air lebih kurang 1 jam. Nasib baik ada time-keeper.. si Pelangi, hehe. Kalau tidak, sampai malam mungkin kami snorkeling hahaha. Oh ya, sempat juga nampak 'lion fish'. Oh ya, Nemo was there too..tapi sombong tidak mau kana kasi suap bread hahaha.. Tiapa kau. Kalau sia dapat sia BBQ kau trus wakakaka..




I should bought the 'under water' camera

Later on was teabreak right after everybody change clothes. Last but not least was a tour to the 'underwater aquarium' inside the makeshift 'kapal lama'. Rasa macam di Aquaria KLCC la pulok hehe.. We spent few minutes inside before boarded the awaiting speedboat back to KK. It was almost 5pm and everybody seems tired..but we definetely having fun.


Bye Bye Dinawan..




Can you see my 'sunburnt' face..? Hehe..


Tired but satisfied


Back to Marina Sutera Harbour Jetty

So what is next guys..??

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Oh my God.. It's already 5th Day of Syawal. Before it's getting to late.. I wanna wish all my Muslim relatives (aunties, uncles, cousins, nephews & nieces) and not forgetting all my friends who are celebrating Aidilfitri..

I Wish all of you a Happy & Joyful Hari Raya, and last but not least,

Maaf Zahir Batin & Berhati² di jalan raya.

How could you do this to me..

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for GOD to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. "GOD, how could you do this to me?" he cried.

Early the next day he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.. "How did you know I was here?" Asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because GOD is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain, and suffering. Remember that, the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of GOD.

Have a nice day..
