Bloggers Idol 2005 - 2nd elimination and 3rd Weeks' Assignments!



Dearest all...

Bloggers Idol 2005 - 2nd Elimination


Again, Monday selalunye kite nak sangat tiba, sebab happy sangat dah nak start keje balik, starts a new week, pastu, kalau dapat continue ke minggu ke 3 BI2005 nih, bertambah seronok la kan? Tapi - jgn dilupakan pulak, ade seorang daripada 11 contenders dari minggu kedua, seorang dari mereka, yang, akan dieliminatekan keluar dari BI2005, pada hari ini, MONDAY, August 29th... mek pasrah sekali lagi.

Blogger yang mek terpaksa keluarkan dari BI2005 kali ni (hasil dari undian serta pemarkahan juri2), pada pendapat mek, seorang yang sangat komited dalam buat kerje2nya, tak kiralah kerje diluar sana, or kerje/ assignments yang telah ditugaskan padanya. Minatnya dalam dunia bloggin', a lil' bit berbeza sebab konsep bloggin'nya sebenarnye ade lah photobloggin' - namun atas dasar semangat kengkawan dan niat nak for fun, dia compete jugak, biar pun me know dia ade some difficulties dalam nak bersaing dengan bloggers2 lain namun kerana semangatnya tu, mek sungguh kagum.

Dalam pada itiew, minggu kedua bagi mek, dia mungkin ade rase tertekan dengan keadaan; masalah kesihatan ahli keluarganya. NAMUN seperti yang mek katakan tadi, atas dasar semangat yang sesungguhnya mek kagum, dia mampu submit jugak entry assignment nya itiew, biar pun dia kurang tidur.

Anda mungkin tertanya2, (sekiranya anda dah boleh agak siapakah blogger yang terkeluar di minggu ke dua nih) - kenape dia? Bukannye undiannya ditangga yang selamat? Haaa... seperti yang telah ku bilang dari minggu lepas - undian2 anda hanya counts 60%. 40% lagi datangnya dari pemarkahan juri2. Jadi, again, minggu ini, blogger yang tersingkir keluar itiew bukan blogger yang mempunyai total votes yang paling rendah. Bahkan, dia antara blogger yang berada ditangga yang selamat - namun, apa kan daya.... Selamat is just not good enuff...

Yer, mungkin ade antara korang yang dah boleh agak, siapekah blogger tersebut? Apa apa pun, mek tannak keep everybody waiting for too long la kan. Semuanya nak tahu keputusan kan? So... dengan ini - mrasalah baca dua lagi perenggan nih, and then, u ols akan dapat tahu la siapkan orangnya itiew...

Dan kepada blogger yang telah disingkirkan ini, PLEASE EMAIL ME SEPATAH DUA KATA so that I boleh publish it as an entry for everyone to read. Email la apa apa yang u ols rase u ols nak cakap/ katakan - jgn pendam dalam hati. Ok? Please email me before Wednesday ya dear... Thanks! (please send that email to lea_laurielle@yahoo.com ok hon?)

Last but not the least, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for participating in Bloggers Idol 2005!!!...


Results dari VOTES + Juries evaluation scores for week #2 (mengikut ranking)
Second elimination - Roland Hashim


**************************************************


Ok... now... lets... move on... (sambil mengesat air mata yang masih menitis2 nih)...

Ok - before mek berikan theme minggu ini beserta tajuk assignments each bloggers, mak nak kenalkan juri jemputan minggu #3 nih. Beliau seorang blogger yang gah dalam bidang seni dan hiburan tanahair, more particularly for Malaysian Idol dan jugak Akademi Fantasia. Namanya sering di sebut dibibir peminat2 AF3 baru2 ini. Blog nya serba hitam dan orange (hitam tu mek tau color fav. dia dan orange tu, sebab Zahid kot? Mati la mek spekulasi!) So anyways, selain daripada itiew, dia jugak memang berpanglaman beri komen2 pedas dan kritikan2 (siap lah korang kalau tak tahan cakaran dia! Hehehe) Tapi, apa apa pon, dia tetap sporting dan sudi jadi juri jemputan mek pada minggu ketiga nih! LETS! Give it up for KlubbKidd @ Joe!!! (mati la mek yang belum YM dia lagik pasal hal nih - hari tu dah email dia dah, tapi dia suruh PM kat YM katanya - mati la mek belum buat lagik! Hehehe)

Aha... so, now... the moment semua orang tgh tunggu2kan, kan? Semua ternanti2kan, KAN? Heheheh - oklah, mek pong takmo cakap/ type pepanjang, so here it is... THEME for Bloggers Idol 2005 week #3...

Life as a crew - KUL to LHR (Part 1)


Sape nak jadi cabin crew? Cepat, angkat tangan? Heheheheh. Well, entry mek kali nih, menyingkap kesah past tense (as usual) mek semasa bergelar cabin crew. This entry is somewhat, macam, ... errm... cam mana nak cakap ek? Mek nak citerkan from A to Z, ape yang mek buat, before flight, during flight, and what not - ala ala what cabin crew buat in general la dalam flight... ermmm, paham dak? ISH! Susah la nak explain. Hampa baca jer la - pasti paham nye. Heheh. Pendek kata, sape2 yang feeling2 nak jadik crew tapi masih belom kecapi impian itiew, mrasalah baca entry nih, dan biarkan minda anda jalankan tugas mengimaginasikan keadaan... feeeeeeeeeeeeeling! Lets! Hikhik!

Normally dalam my flight check book (my personal note book for my flights la kirenye) mek akan buat these details...
  • Date: 08th August, 2003
  • Flight: MH008
  • Aircraft type: B744 (B747-400)
  • Sector: KUL (Kuala Lumpur) - LHR (London)
  • ETD (Estimated Time of Departure) Ex Kul: 0910hrs
  • ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) Lon: 1515hrs (local time in London GMT+1)
  • Flight time: 13 hours and 5 mins (nangis 13 jam dok dalam kapal itiew! LOL!)
  • Reporting for duty: 0710hrs
  • Pick up time: 0525hrs


And then, nih la dia, bebende yang mek buat dari rumah, sampai lah mek sampai London... lets ikuti, "Sehari bersama mek..." as a cabin crew, yang nak fly dari KL ke London... hehehe... lets!
  • 0445hrs: *Yaaawwwnnnn* Dah kena bangun tido (ade kalanye mek dinch tidur pong dari malam tu; yer la, buatnye kalau weekend, sah sah pergi membinatangkan diri clubbing la, buat show la, tak hengat dunia. Balik clubbing jer dah kul brape? Might as well tak tidur - kang kalau tidur, confirm SELAYAS!) - Dan bangun tido, mandi manda bersiap dandan semua - pastu a quicky breakfast, dan kalau ade bebende yang belom packing, mrasalah buat last minute packing (normally mek pack sehari sebelom. Hehehe) Pastikan final check the following items - tak cukup item2 nih, tak lepas mek nak fly...



    Passport (Musti valid sekuwang-kuwangnya enam bule sebelum tarikh Pupus... eh? Luput - sorry... teringat Mawi pulak - opps!)



    SEP card (Safety & Emergency Procedures card - more like a flying licence for cabin crew. Tak der bende, tak dernye nak fly ke mana- mana ler jawabnye)

    Crew ID (Takder mende nih, nangis ko nak lepas keluar dari airport oversea tu nanti kalau security diaorang check identification korang - nak kasik IC? Ape kes!?)

    Airport pass (Tak der Airport pass, haiyoh, susah geng!)

    Safety manual (Ini, ala ala BWS - bukan Blog Wajib Singgah - tapi Buku manual Wajib Simpan dalam beg tu. Tak baca tak per, JANJI ADO!)



    Medical record book (kot2 la terkejut tergempak sakit nak mampos kat London tu, kenalah ade buku nih baru leh gi panel doctors for treatment and medication for free, kalau idak - mrasalah ko bayar brapa puloh Brits Pound for that! LOL!)



    Cabin crew performance record book (kalau ade performance check dalam flight, dan tak bawak booklet nih, mrasalah ko mampos dalam flight tu kena maki! Hehehe)

    Dah siap2 semua, mrasalah turun ke basement apartment mek in USJ tu. Kalau mood rajin, drive ke airport. Kalau malas, tunggu jer lah van pickup mai amik. Kalau dah terlewat bangun dan terlepas pickup, mrasalah mek drive ke airport! LOL!


  • 0525hrs: Van pickup MAS akan datang hamek mek (dan crew2 lain) dan bawak ke Subang Airport. Dari Subang Airport, naik pulak crew shuttle bus, ke KLIA Flight Management Building. Sebelum naik bas, kalau ade time, checking2 lah system Memo kot2 ade latest annoucements ke, company mails ke ape ke - nak mailing2 dengan kengkawan sesama crew pong boleh. So anyways, lepas tu, lepas dah sampai di FMB KLIA itiew, kalau masih ade time sebelum reporting time, mrasalah smoking2 dulu lepas dah check-in kan our bagasis semue. Hehehehe... dan time2 tu la nak berkenalan2 dengan crew2 yang akan stuck with you for the next few days dalam trip tu. Hehe..


  • 0710hrs: Report for duty. Selalunye for international flights, reporting time is 2 hours sebelum departure time. Penat kan? Tu tak campur dengan time mek bangun at 4.45am itiew? Nangis! So report for duty, sign-in kat komputer tu (ala ala kalau kat pejabat gomen, kena punch card, kan? Haaa - kami kena sign-in kat pc, ala ala moden la gittu) Tapi kalau system down, mrasalah sign-in manually kat Duty Officers... which jarang2 berlaku. Dan waktu sign-in tu, dapat la kite nengok senarai nama2 crew yang bakal bersama dengan kite dalam flight tu, dalam trip ke London tu. For a B747-400 aircraft, ado 18 crew - ade sorang Inflight Supervisor (IFS), ade 2 Chiefs (CS for Chief Steward, CSS for Chief Stewardess), pastu ade 3 Leadings (LS for Leading Steward and LSS for Leading Stewardess) dan paihtu, ado lah the remainingnye semuo either FS (Flight Steward) and FSS (Flight Stewardess). Dan time tu, nama2 top2 bitchy crew, kalau mek nampak dalam sign-in tu, NANGIS! 13 jam stucked dengan bitchy crew, sapa mau? LOL! Jadik kesahnye, dalam flight tu, mek kenai sorang dua jer crew, the rest mek dinch kenali u ols. Mrasalah buat kengkawan barus. LOL! So anyways, lepas dah sign-in semua dah, proceed ke folder room, checking mecking kot2 ade roster baru ke, payslip ke, memo ke ape ke... and then naik lah ke tingkat... 2 rasenye. Yer la kot. So naik tingkat dua, proceed ke briefing room. Masuk briefing room, lepas dah bersalam2 dan kenalkan diri semua, duduk diam2, then tunggu briefing start. Kalau IFS dinch sampai lagik, CS or CSS akan buat briefing. Briefing nih nak kasik working position setiap crew dalam flight itiew - kecuali IFS la. Dia mana ade working position. pastu, ade lah sedikit sessi soal jawab; soal jawab apo? Macam2 lah - from station (London) info, to Custom Immigration and Quarantine qs, to safety and first aid qs. Yezzaa... memang kena buat homework u ols. Semua tu by right dah ade dalam kepala hotak dah, tapi mek selalunye dinch ingat pon. So mrasalah mek menelaah membaca hal2 tu semua sekali imbas waktu dalam bus dari Subang Airport ke KLIA itiew. Hehehe. Selalunye briefing nih max pon 1/2 hour. Pastu kiteorang bergeraks ke terminal, passing through Immigrations and terus naik aircraft. Ok... now, nih la keje mek.... hehehe



  • Working position: FS UD (Galley steward upper deck)
  • Zone: Upper Deck - Upper Deck Business Class
  • Working with: CS/ CSS B and FSS UD - so kirenye, 3 orang ler keje kat atas tu. Hehehe - semput!




Haiyoh! Mek tak suke memang mek tak suke keja zone upper deck uols! 1, sebab galleynye very der silingnya rendah (sah sah sebab di upper deck B747-400 itiew). 2, sebab upper deck kalau London flight SELALU, MOST OF THE TIME load full! NANGIS 32 org nak kena serve! So ok. Keje mek, actually... cam nih la. Nih mek buat story pasal keje MEK jer tau, mek dinch la nak story pasal keje2 si FSS mek tu. Mek buat step by step nah. Mek dinch mau banyak celoteh (sampai kat sini saje pong sikit punye dok ada panjangnye - tu belom sampai London lagik tu. Kalau cam nih la gaya mek story telling, by the time sampai London, entry mek dah boleh masuk sebagai calon Malaysia's Book of Record...) Hehehehe...

Duties and Checks - FS UD - Upper deck Business Class (GCC - Golden Club Class)



PRE-DEPARTURE

Checks/ Preparation
  • Galley electrics - sius2 punat2 segala menatang2 bende2alah tu semua kena check, boiler working ok, ovens semua ok, warming cabinet semua... haiyoh! Banyak tau u ols!

  • Safety equipment - segala mak nenek safety2 equipment dalam galley mek dan zone2 yang perlu mek check la, kan. Hehehehe... check apo? Check ala ala expiry datenye bile, red seal lah itu ini... ini semuanye safety wise la.

  • Meals/ Trays - checking meals nih kena bebetul, ikut menu cards given by the catering, pastu, kena check 1st meal ngan 2nd meal (London flights kan ado 2 meal services) - haiyoh, banyak u ols. Kena check juices, alkisahnye everything la yang sangkut paut dengan makan minum nih. Dan jangan pandang lekeh tau... seriously, banyak bende nak check; tetambah kalau flight full load. MATI! Kalau light load, sorang dua - haaa... heavennye. Hehehehe... (which JARANG berlaku for London flights! Chis)

  • Dry Stores and Minerals - segala coffee tea, segala can drinks and stuffs, semuanya musti cukup u ols, kurangan jangan. Normally kalau flights yang from KL, selalunye la, tak pernah la kurang. Ado kalanya, lelebih pulak dah. Hehehe...

  • Service Equipment - which includes pinggan mangkuk periuk belanga semua la, camca garfu, service trolley dan lain2. Yerrr... ia termasuk jugak bab bab check tea coffee equipment semua, alkaedahnye pasal semuanya lah yang bersangkut paut dengan the two services nanti tu...

  • Dan preparekan welcome drinks. Memandangkan flight mek ke London departs at 9.10am, so meaning it's gonna be breakfast service as 1st service. So welcome drinks nye would be juices and health drinks. Hikhikhik... mek cukup suka kalau prepare drinks tu. Satu gelas mek tuang, segelas mek minum... hehehehe... alamat juices tu sebenarnye banyak habis dalam perut mek! LOL!


Dah habis checking mecking dan prepare mana2 apa2 yang patut, mengadapla CS/ CSS B ku itiew, dan REPORT. Ehehehe. Report la ape menatang yang aku check tadik tu semua. Hehehehe... kena kasik in detail. Tapi ade jugak CS/ CSS yang tak suka nak report detail2 nih. Just cakap "All ok..." jer pon, dah cukup. Tapi make sure semuanya ok lah. Buatnya sat gi ade yang tak ok, mrasalah kena hentam! HEHEHE...

BEFORE TAKE OFF (after pax boarded the aircraft - mek terus migrain. Hehehe)

Offers newspaper on trolley - Yer... time time nih la mek scanning pax2 mana yang melerts! Hehehhe... dan waktu nih la FSS mek ngan my CS sebok dok layan pax dengan welcome drinks la, simpan coats la itiew ini, taking drink orders for after take off - busy lah time nih; sape sebok2 nak kacau mek, either kena pelempang or laser dazz!

Lepas tu, door closed semua - secure everything kat galley, report to CS dan assumes designated crew seat mek for take off - where? Kat dalam galley itiew la. Mek kan feeling2 Cinderalolly dalam Zone B upper deck itiew! LOL! Then, TAKES OFF FOR LONDON! YEHHH!! Hmmm, ape mek nak buat sampai London nanti ek? (Boleh? Baru nak take off, otak dok pikiaq nak buat ape kat London - hanjs sangat! LOL!)! Heheheh...

Miss Teen USA 2005


Dearest all,

Mek baru jer habis nengok Miss Teen USA 2005 kat Starworld channel on Astro. Yer, I know - Miss Teen USA 2005 dah berlalu like, what, couple of months back? Tapi - yer lah, knowing me, Miss Past Tense Has Been whatever, nih la baru mek nak buat reviewnye. Heheheh - and yes, this entry tak masuk under category Reviews entries - mek masukkan bawah The world of bit*hin' beauty queens... ahiks! Heheheh...

And so, lets start with the review. I don't have any predictions since mek tak nengok all contestants kat internet before the actual contest; so this review is simply, basically, ikut ape yang mek dah nengok tadik nih.

The contest started off with all the 51 contestants introducing themselves in somewhat, a, casual wear? Or was it casual sporty + beach wear? Hurm... whatever it was, HAZAB! Totally memeningkan kepala. As these contests (Miss Uni and Miss USA) dah makin kian matang, I thought it would be better la kan? Tapi ado? Nan ado - memeningkan ade lah. Why? Yer lah - camera tu sat kiri sat kanan sat atas sat bawah sat depan sat belakang - HAIYOH!!! Kalau granny mek nengok also, naaaahhh! That's it! Dr. KMC!!!! Hehehehehe....

Right after the introduction round tu, the event was hosted by ex Miss USA Susie Castillo and tah ape tah nama cik tan tu - can diew tapi dinch my tasty! Then ade some cool dance show yang mek rase choreographynye VERY der va va voom (although mek spotted ade sorang dua yang very der over dan GS, which means Gila Show, tapi it was still a great opening number) And right after another brief intro of all the 51 contestants (yes, so they had like 2 kali introduction round - buang masa jer), the hosts announced the top 15 semifinalists.
  • California - Stephanie Brink

  • Georgia - Katie Conkle

  • Michigan - Catherine Laurion

  • West Virginia - Andrea Turner

  • Kansas - Latasha Lawrie

  • New Mexico - Brittney Toole

  • Oklahoma - Crystal Glidden

  • Ohio - Allie Laforce

  • Virginia - Victoria Hall

  • Alaska - Sonja Garness

  • Kentucky - Sara Withers

  • Maryland - Alessandra Torres

  • Illinois - Kelli Cruse

  • Minnesota - Lauren Hindi

  • New York - Natascha Bessez


After the top 15 selections, diaorang kena compete in evening dress round. And I gotta tell ya, MOST of the dresses macam, HAZAB sangat; ade yang color hazab, ade yang tak fit to their body, dan MOST of all - MAJORITY of the top 15 bawak dress diaorang macam makcik2 nak pi beli ikan kat pasar jer! Tau la ikut tempo lagu, tapi perlu ke jalan laju2 gittu? Biar lagu rancak, body movement jer boleh ikut tempo. Catwalk TETAP kena lemah gemalai sebab it's evening dress round, bukannye casual wear? Duh? Dan kebanyakkan diaorang NAMPAK OBVIOUS sangat gementars u ols!!! Dan out of the top 15 tu, mek ade my own choices of top 10 kalau nak compared to the actual top 10.
  • California - Stephanie Brink (so my favorite the first time mek saw her on stage)

  • Georgia - Katie Conkle (so, so, so sweet - reminded me of Miss Universe 2001 tu ape tah nama dia yang from Puerto Rico itiew? Hmmmm)

  • Kansas - Latasha Lawrie (Mek SUKA evening dress dia - color soooo in for this season!)

  • Ohio - Allie Laforce (Mek suka muke comel dia itiew tapi not the gown!)

  • Virginia - Victoria Hall (Ouuuhhh!! Ouh!!! LOVED the dress!!!!)

  • Alaska - Sonja Garness

  • Kentucky - Sara Withers

  • Maryland - Alessandra Torres

  • Illinois - Kelli Cruse (Nice dress tapi tak pandai bawak lah!... Sedeh!)

  • Minnesota - Lauren Hindi

These were my pick for the top 10, ESPECIALLY California, Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, Virginia; dan mek expected these 5 masuk top 5 finalists. Tapi, ado? Nan ado... And so the ACTUAL top 10 tadik were...
  • California - Stephanie Brink

  • Georgia - Katie Conkle

  • Michigan - Catherine Laurion (Her advantage was her height - tallest I think. Loved the color of her dress, but NOT the design!)

  • West Virginia - Andrea Turner (Hazab sangat! Orangnye dan dressnya!)

  • Kansas - Latasha Lawrie

  • New Mexico - Brittney Toole (Typical type x layak)

  • Oklahoma - Crystal Glidden

  • Ohio - Allie Laforce

  • Virginia - Victoria Hall

  • Illinois - Kelli Cruse


Lepas dah pilih top 10, they competed in swimsuit category. Mek tak fancy sangat category nih so mek dinch mau komen banyak - namun, ade gak yang mek nampak over2 lah during swimsuit nih, body ade gak yang lawo, ade yang haus! Tapi the 5 contestants yang mek picked tadik tu, semuanya flawless. More of a reason why mek suspection mections diaorang akan ke final five, TAPI - haiyoh!... Lain jadiknye...
  • Illinois

  • West Virginia

  • California

  • Michigan

  • Ohio


And so lepas dah select top 5, ade two rounds of q/a. The first one ala ala sembang2 lite2 jer, no points taken rasenye. The second q/a however, counts... I think. Yer la kot. So anyways, during the final 5, mek expected California to really shine tapi nampak sangat dia gabra. What a waste! Tsk tsk tsk... yang paling confidensi menjawab, was, eh... were... Michigan ngan Ohio. And it turned out to be both of them were in the final 2.
  • 4th Runner-up : California

  • 3rd Runner-up : Illinois

  • 2nd Runner-up : West Virginia


Waktu nih nampak sangat these two best friends punye bond. Hmmm - I wonder if in 2003 Miss Universe hadek2 yang Ginger De La Loca tu menang tu - kaatekan lah mek was in the final 2 with G, u ols rase G peluk mek cam tu dak? Mek rase dak - musti dia kekwat sebab dia tau dia nak menang! Mati la kau Faizaru yang menantikan entry nih dipublishkan! Oppsss! Hehehe...

Dan actually, antara these two, confidensi level mek would have to say, Michigan la kot - sebab dia jawab smooth jer. Tapi, looking at the crowd, ramai favoritekan G... Eh, I mean, Ohio. Choyyy gi sebut G pulak. Hehehehe...

Nah!!! The minute diaorang aannoucekan Michigan was the 1st runner-up (dik non, mek paham how u ols rase as 1st runner-up. Trust me honey, mek menang 1st runner-up lagi banyak dari kau sundel! So mek tau prasan ko dalam dress pink itiew! Hehehehe), Miss Ohio dah macam histeria dah, bagaikan LeeZ yang dapat abang2 Aum stock 2 minggu dalam 1 malam... ooppps! Namun, mek tetap rase, California should have won... tapi apa apa pon, Ohia pon, not bad la. Rambut dia lawa sundel, although mek lebih suke brunettes.. Hehehe....

Miss Teen USA 2005, Allie Laforce

ONCE UPON A TIME, I WAS THAT SHOWGIRL - Episode 22

From the last episode... Episode 21: Second half of 2004

Working with The Fabulous Disco Show group nih, mula2nya sexciting sangat. Pastu kian lama, kian penat. Pastu, kian tensi, tapi at the same time, show, MERIAH! Tapi itiew lah, kadang2 it made me think - motif, cam mana nak meriah kan diri kalau selalunye tensi! biarpun show meriah?? Kan? Mek pikir dua tiga kali gak bab nih - pikir pi pikir mai... daaaah. Mek feeling2 nak stop show pulak. Macam, penat lah. June, July, August - mek dinch pernah rase sepenat nih tau. It's time mek do something about it pulak dah... hehehe.. ape ek?

Episode 22: Working for a diva...

Seawal August, I was like feeling macam dah malas dah nak buat show pulak dah. Macam, penat lah. Minat tu tetap ade, but I thought to myself, its time mek ubah haluan (again). Dan nak kate, luck was on my side, well - you can say that kot. I was having dinner with a friend of mine who so happens to be the manager for our local singin' sensation diva, who was about to make a comeback dalam dunia lakonan. Yeap, was having dinner with Vernon, managernye si Ning Baizura. Makan pi makan mai, sembang pi sembang mai, mek mengadu domba la pasal malas nya nak buat show semua tu. Dan terus he asked me sama ada mek would be interested to be Ning's PA for a month, during her penggambaran movie Lady Boss. Of course mek interested, siape tannak?!?! Tawaran gaj for that less than one month pon menarik, siape yang tannak? So I told Vernie yang mek nak accept the job. Dan menurut Vernie, kalau Ning selesa dengan mek, dan me selesa with Ning and the company, they would consider taking me permenantly.

So anyways, the day came when I really really jumpe Ning personally for the 1st time. She was cool, she was nice - kuat ketawa dan very friendly. Anyone can just senang2 jer feel at ease bile dengan dia. My first assignment was to ikut her with Vernie to this studio rakaman for lagu "Erti Pertemuan". Situ, dari malam tu saja, I learned that working with her, ade kalanya boleh be a lil' penat jugak memandangkan anything that she needed, musti didapatkan bagi memudahkan her work. I mean, pikir2 balik, tak der bezanye pon kalau keje dengan seorang Chief Stewardess ke ape ke. Kire Ning ala ala supervisor, mek just crew. Cam tu jer. Dan while in that studio malam tu, mek sangat terharu dapat nengok Ning menyanyi live depan mata mek while recording that song. Mek dgr lagu tu seawal2nya dari sape2 pon, dan mek feeling dah nak nangis dengar lagu itiew.

So habis bab lagu, we ols semua moved on dengan penggambaran Ning dalam Lady Boss. Yang penting, sebelum start shooting lagi, dah banyak kerje mek kena buat (which bukannye nak komplen cuma yer lah, siapa cakap keje2 PA PR whatever semua nih sonang? NAN ADO sonang nyo! Hehehe) - Kerje2 awal mek banyak sangkut paut dengan Metrowealth, call itu call ini, gi situ gi sini, kenal orang itiew kenal orang ini - pendek kato, haiyoh! Mek memang tak der sangat spare time. Tak terpikir pong bab nak drag nak ke mana2, nak buat show ke - dinch! Tak pikir pon. Dalam pada itiew, mek banyak ikut Ning gi shopping la, tgk wayang dengan dia la (imagine kami nangis tgk citer Hingga Ke Hujung Nyawa, bole? Hadek2 sangat dia ngan mek! Hehehe) Pastu, kire pendek kata - dalam masa seminggu, mek dah kenal banyak contact2 Ning, dari her Christian Dior people, to her hair stylist, to her make up artist, kenal kengkawan artist itiew ini, kenal mother dia (yer, jadik PA dia mek dapat hak keistimewaan berkenalan dengan mother dia di rumah mereka di Bangsar - specific lokasi? DINCH CERITS!) Dalam pada itiew, mek banyak habiskan masa dengan Vernie also either outside or kat office diaorang di Bangsar also - kediaman Vernie jgn tanya lah, selalu sangat mek lepak sitiew.

Sebelum penggambaran bermula, kena la ade few perjumpaan di Metrowealth USJ itiew - sessi penggambaran poster lah, script reading lah (time script reading nih, asik lahhh Ning ngan mek sebok sokseksoksek hal seorang jejaka candiew - kami sokseksoksek apo? Ade ade ade lah itiewwww)... ade lah lagi yang mek pong dah tak hengat dah. And then, penggambaran movie Lady Boss bermula - Macam2 mek dapat nengok ok. I mean, mek dapat nengok how diaorang diarah dibawah arahan Prof.. Prof.. Prof A. Razak kot namanye? Tah - mek tak amik port. Yang mek dok calling2 dia, Prof jer. Hehehe. Mek dapat nengok how they shooting scene tu ke scene nih, tak ikut sususan ok. Semuanya ade lah diaorang dah plan, here to here, there to there - mek kena pantas dalam keje2 tu. Disamping tu jugak, mek dinch boleh abaikan Diva mek itiew. Ape dia nak mek asik lah rajin2 pi hambikkan. Tapi dia pong baik gak, nampak mek penat je, lantas ajak pi makan. Curlast! Dah tu, mek dapat peluang kenal ngan artist2 lain, like Aleeza Kassim (yang penting dia ingat mek ok. Dia kan judge waktu mek masuk Miss World 2002, dia ingat ok! Mek sungguh seronok sembang2 dengan dia - ala ala macam sembang ngan Ning jugak lah - ratu kegilaan PLU... cam tu la... asik lahhhhhh sokseksoksek! Hehehe), then mek dapat kenal Farid Kamil (sesuatuh la dia nih tapi mek dinch mau komen lelebih lah)... Apek Saiful, jgn cakap lah - mek dengan Ning asik lah pengsan tgk gelagat dia. Uncle M. Rajoli ngan Uncle... ape tah namanya, bapak kepada Ning dalam movie tu - dua dua sporting. Lawak gilos. Sembang bagaikan kawan nih! Mek suka sangat. Erra was nice, diam, mek pon tak banyak jumpa dia sangat sebab shooting dia lain, Ning lain, kalau ade pon time2 shooting scenes kat office sebab Erra kerej di bawah Ning kat office tu... Yusry, mek dari minat tahap cipan, terus nyampah tahan mamabosan. Attitude dia, mek nangis! Maybe sebab dia tensi banyak kerej kot - tapi pon, mek terus tak minat dia dah. Jgn tanya sobab apo. And then make up artist untuk movie tu, Kak Mas (ponen gak - tapi sebelum mek tau, mek mati2an ingatkan dia pompuan betol!) VERY DER BAIK ok. Tak der maknenye dia kekwat, suka tgk dia make up kan Ning - banyak mek belajar.

Hmmm... ape lagi mek nak citer ek? Macam2 lah mek buat dalam sebulan buat movie tu. Mek sangat suka, biarpun penat kurang tidur tapi mek suka. Farid Kamil asiklan SMS ngan mek - which Ning noticed la kan. Ala ala mek ngan Ning bertaruh nih, nengok, Farid tu dual band ka, straight bak tongkol kayu. Mek cakap dia dual band, Ning asik lahhhhh menidak-nidakkannya. (ade ke menidak-nidakkan? Ade la kot) - results? Ehehehe - dinch cerits! Cukup lah mek cakap mek ngan Farid asik lah bersms... biar pong di set! Mati lah mek bercinta di lokasi. LOL!

Dalam pada dok sebok shooting, Ning ade jugak kena buat shooting utk SsangYong. Mek pong sempat nengok dia shooting utk jenama kerets yang dia dah dok pakai sebijik itiew. Besau sangat kerets itiew - sangat lah comfy. Siap boleh salin2 baju make up segala mala kat belakang tu. Hehehehe. Shooting nih agaklah bohsan sebab... tah, nothing much to do. Mek asik lah sebok dok sokseksoksek dengan dia, dia pon ala ala bohsan. Tapi bile kami kembali ke set lokasi Lady Boss, ceria balik. Sebab, ramai orang - syok! Semua friendly2.

Namun, sebaik saja lepas habis shooting, hati mek memberontak balik. Why? I've missed performing, dan drag balik. Rindu gile sangat2 nak drag, sangat2. Nak kuar buat show la, nak lepak2 ciksit lah - mek nak tu semua. Tapi memandangkan schedule mek ngan Ning very busy, mana sempat diknon. Dan dalam pada mek dok dalam kelam kabut hati gundah gulana tu, tawaran permenant PA utk Ning Baizura muncul. Mek sangatlah terkejut when Ning offered me dan dengan gaj yang melertops jugaks. Tapi waktu tu hati mek ala ala berbelah bahagi. Mek macam ala ala don't know what I wanted. Sangat2 keliru, celaru, mek dinch tau nak buat ape dah. Walaupun Ning dan Vernie sangat lah baik pada mek, selalu nasihat mek itu ini, tempat kalau mek nak mengadu domba, Ning boleh jadi tempat mek bertanyakan nasihat dan minta pendapat - Vernie pon cam tu, tanya lah apa apa, ade masalah pa per, cakap jer - ade nye dua dua tu akan nasihatkan mek. Ning lagi la, makan aku pon dia nengok2kan, kalau terlebih2 makan overdose, dia jeling (suruh jaga badan lah tu), kalau kurang, dia ikut makan2 sekali. Baik orangnya... tapi....... apakan daya, mek sangat2 rindukan nak drag balik. Sebulan mek tak drag, rase cam setahun sangat. Mek rindu sangat2 nak buat show.... dan atas sebab2 tu lah, mek tolak offer permenant status, sangat2 menolak walaupun dinasihatkan oleh Vernie about the big opportunities and chances yang not many people boleh dapat, namun, mek tetap menolak... call me stupid, tapi mek tak boleh nak tolak ketepi ape hati aku nak. And so, I left...
