about having time out...

aduh!! semenjak habis URMI sampai today belum ado masa untuk bergumbira lagi. Kerja,. Kerja. kerja but happy berkerja

baru malam semalam dapat time out sekejap. sempat meluangkan masa dengan ensemble My Name Is Remy dan survivors Star Maker boot-camp makan - makan happy sakan di majlis pembukaan Restoran baru Datin Seri Tiara The Borneo Rainforest Café @ Sunway berhadapan dengan hotel sunway resort and spa

kite orang makan sakan sebab semua sedap! bukan puji sebab saya akan berkerja untuk Tiara dalam My name Is Remy tetapi puji sebab memang sedap. tak percaya tanya Pat yang makan sakan dengan penambahan berkali kali(hahaha)... paling saya suka nasi dagang. nasi kerabu pun sedap. umai pun sedap, ketam bakar dan kerang bakar pun sedap (eh eh macam advertisement pulak)

anyway semua sedaplah... tak caya tanya sama SM, megat, sabrina hassan, bebudak luscious dan Infinatez (gangstars) , DJ suria Azrol juga para jemputan lain yang hadir seperti sofea jane, juliza adlizan dan Datuk Siti Nurhaliza! yang datang bersama suami masing masing (motif utama saya tulis nama nama ini adalah untuk memberitahu mereka mereka yang dijemput tapi tak datang untuk merasa jealous) hahaha

ok cukup advertisement untuk malam ini.... tengah sibok kemas rumah sebab esok family nak datang... perutku penuh makan sakan tapi takpe esok rehearsal Remy boleh joget sampai pengsan

about makin lots of new friends...

one week has passed and today will be the 1st day of week two (final week) of the StarMaker bootcamp. When we all started the crash course, some of us were trying hard to fit in, it is because well , lots of new faces some familiar face. for some people like me or zeqhty or izlyn ramli or even janet, we don't have have any problem blending in because it is our second nature to be doing the BlaBlaBlas during any work that we are in so it's easy for us to starts a conversation to any strangers but to some, it's a bit hard.

but last sunday was the best day of all ... why did i say so? because Sunday was the first time that Pat, Sean and Reza really did drilled us all to the max! (not that they never did but 1st time they work together-gether) we dance dance, sing sing and really act! by the end of the day we were all really tired and beat but it was ALL WORTH IT! but it was the BESt day truly because that was the day that we all finally together. together as a team.

the session of story mory on our live and why we in this bootcamp really was an eye opener! most of us really do have one thing similar, the love for art! that's why we are all in the bootcamp. i learn lots of new stuffs, like the fact that some of the bootcampers are either doctor to be or already a doctor but always desired to be on stage and i also learn a new kind of job, DoorBitching...

with that sessions we moved on to doing picture postcard exercise while singing seasons of love from the musical RENT. that was the highlight of the day that some of us got emotional. truly, by the end of the day, i felt that i am closer to all of them. as one bootcampers, Keith Yew aptly said in his email

Yesterday (Sunday) in particular was exhausting for us: seemed like the bootcamp has just officially started. I have xperience of dancing 3 hours back to back but yesterday was more that physical strain. Never a cry baby but yesterday I think I've cried buckets in Seasons ofLove. Besides Sean, Pat and Reza, there're so much more I could learn from you all.

and as izlyn ramli puts it :
everyone's bringing a special energy with them and as diverse as we all may seem, we've pretty much come from the same place - a passion for expression, jiwa seni and all that jazz... thank you for brightening up my days and putting a skip in my steps....

the trainers did drilled us hard, really hard that my body still ached even after one day rest, tired still yes but as i said earlier, it was all WORTH IT!

about the Bootcamp, kawan lama, Afiq AF5 and Ayi

Been so busy the last few days... today marks the 3rd day i am in the StarMaker bootcamp. it's been fun so far but what's dreadful to think about is that at the end of this 2 weeks bootcamp will be an exam of sort... an "audition" so to speak... aiyo!

.
First day was a bit of a shock for most of us because we were trying to get use to new people and trainers... some that we have worked and known with before while some are totally new to us. but this is the real life... you bound to meet new people and make new friends.
.
Day two was even more fun but menyeksakan badan!... biasalah, Mr. Pat Ibrahim in the house... walaupun ianya menyeksakan badan, it was FUN and WORTH every sweats sebab memang best. We did the chorus choreography for Titah Sultan. nasib baik saya, zeqhty, Megat and Abang Talif masih ingat lagi step step itu. Saya memang love Pat and his sessions sebab i must thank Pat Ibrahim for making me loose 10 kgs during PGLm. cant wait to work with him again.

.
Day three sebentar tadi was also another fun night sebab we all had a session with Sean Ghazi... seronok sebab we all dapat try to emulate his steps and choreography in Miss Saigon when we did The American Dream. we have to sing and dance to the tune and the choreography. I am glad that i took this challenge to join the bootcamp tapi thinking about the exam at the end of the sessions buat saya shiver seluruh badan.... hmmm i hate exams...
.
Dalam pada itu, last monday semasa saya di PJ's IT mall doing some "check cleared" computer shopping spree, jumpa miss sabrina Hassan yang sedang sarat mengandung tu (congrats dear) malu sangat nak ambil gambar sampai tutup muka... then later terserempak dengan Jessie, my co-host masa buat Goolies Game Show kat 8TV dulu... seronok juga jumpa kawan lama berborak sakan. lama juga kami berborak...
.
Dalam pada tu semalam dapat info dari Afiq AF5 yang dia akan berada di Genting Sabtu ini dan di Jaya Jusco Seremban jam 4 petang pada Ahad Julai 1hb nanti.
.
As an update to my previous post, my brother sudah released from hospital although he wont be able to work for 2 months after the operation masuk besi and what not, i am glad that he's gonna be fine. baru beberapa hari lepas dia dah boleh gerak jari jemari dia. thanks guys for the prayers.
