From the last episode... Episode 22: Working for a diva...

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...

Episode 23: Back in the limelight...

And so I left what's meant to be my biggest opportunity in the real entertainment industry/ world, for my ultimate limelite in the entertainment world of my people - yeap. Silly of me but I did. Mek kembaliks u ols (kembali here refers to the fact that mek kembali ke dunia drag dan show world, DAN jugak kembali buat episode ini setelah, let me see, sebulan lebih tak update? Mati la mek!). Dan kembaliknya mek dalam dunia drag waktu tu setelah menyepi sebulan lebih sebab kerje dengan Ning, mek feeling² nak make things right again. Of course waktu tu I've done so many mistakes, ie left the drag business membuta cam tu jer and turned down a lot of offers which apparently buatkan orang sentap/ disappointed. Plus banyak bad rumors yang ala² memburukbusukkan nama mek yang tak der lah wangi sangat itiew. So mek nekad, mek nak kembalik buat show, and this time - mek REALLY nak ppl be proud and terkasima nengok kekembaliquesnya mek ke arena showgirl...

And so, mek pun mengorak langkah kembali kepersada buat show. You see, the thing that mek missed most waktu tu, bukannye nak attention semata². Mek missed the point mek took 2 3 hours just to get ready, mek missed that feeling nak masuk toilet, shave sana sinik segala bagi - missed the part waktu nak pi show, riuh rendah dalam kereta and semua tu. Tu la yang saat² mek rindu. Yer, mek tak der lah cakap I don't miss the attentions given during show and waktu jengjalan lepas shows ke ape ke - itu musti la ade jugak. Nampak sangat mek menipu kalau if I say I don't miss all that... kan? Hiks!

From hotels to resorts and country clubs, from discos to clubs and bars/pubs, from shopping mall to private residentials - semua mek redah bersama either Glitters.Com or with The Fabulous Disco Show group. I was like at the peak sangat! Mek sangat suka and enjoyed every minute time² mek buat show tu, regardless lah mek jadik lead ke, jadik backup ke - mek tetap gumbiraks! Shows di Liquid pun waktu tu semakin meriah. Setiap kali show musti ade this group from Kampai kot, dan setiap kali lepas show, mesti these ppl especially yang boss dia sorang tu, musti call mek suruh mek pi join depa. Nak tak nak, kena la jugak, Kan? Wanna know a little secret? News flash honey - mek rasa waktu mek duduk kat meja tu, dipeluk boss Kampai tu, dan huuu haaa huuu haaa segala bagai tu - mek rase la kan, mek rase mek lebih binatang dan terasa seperti diri nih bagaikan pelacccccur sangat² (walaupun mek tak buat pa per k! Ewww!!). Mek rase tersangattt² lah seperti call girls tau, ala ala GRO pun mek rase ade jugak, sebab mek had to berkepit dengan boss tu. It was lebih teruks, kalau nak compare time mek gedik² di Uptown ke, Cik Sit ke, clubbing ke ape ke - tu macam, ala² gedik² for fun. Ini kan, to sit with these ppl yang dah separuh mabuk, dan dioffer macam² (selain drinks, these men PERNAH ade jugak offer nak sponsor mek bedah cikpuks lah, nak suruh mek duduk kat apartment la, nak belikkan itiew ke belikkan ini ke - HELLO!?!?!?!?! Ape dia pikiaq mek nih nak sangat kepit jadik mistress?) Although, MEK MENGAKU, at first - it was tempting. Sumpah, tak tipu. And yes, at first, mek suka attention bila these guys dari big² companies nih called me to duduk and join them sembang² minum² ke ape ke, kan? Mek admit, mek memang suka the attention. Tapi lepas lama ke lamaan, bila dah tiap² hari asik dok push mek suruh operate la, duduk sekali la, ape bagai nak spedorama semua tu - mek mula dah menyampah. Like, fuck it lah! Kuasa ok! Macam, I like being who and what I truly am - tok sah nak suruh mek buat tu suruh mek buat nih. Kowser tau! Tapi aside from that, mek memang tgh laris time tu - apa² offer jer mek sapu (show wise la ek!) hehehe... mek dah tak picky² sangat. Asalkan ado show, buat, payment dapat ke idak ke, mek tarkik. Janji mek happy buat show...

Showboys mek - yang bersinglet itiew lah Man Thai, Mr Malaysia 2003... nih waktu show mek dengan Glitters kat Bleu Bar lamer...

Selain dari mek tgh happy² gila² buat show, mek ala² decided nak start bergiatkan diri balik dalam dunia beauty pageants. Noooo not as the contestant, tapi mek nak be part of the backstage ppl; either helping the organizer with the pageant, OR mek nak bergiatcerdas dengan contestants² ie siapkan mereka, sponsor ke, sewa dresses mek ke, I mean like - jadik macam Pasha, Sherryn, Shee semua tu - kan depa ala² banyak cenderung siap²kan orang, sponsor/ sewakan dress/ accessories and what not, kan? So mek pun nak jugak lah. Since I was sooo determined not to compete again, mek decided nak sangat be part of the pageant jugak, cuma different jabatan jer. Heheheeh... Sebelum² nih pun, ade lah mek tolong² sikit² backstage dengan contestants lain. Tapi tu lain feelingnya, sebab either waktu tu I was a contestant also, ataupun mek tolong LITE² jer. What mek mau sekarang pada waktu tu, mek nak jaga seorang contestant from head to toe, semua mek nak jaga. Percubaan pertama mek was Amanda waktu Miss Two Faces 2004. Ala² dia nak make up sendirik, tapi mai tang part rambut, dress baju, accessories dan bantuan belakang stage, dia nak mek tolong. Mek sangat teruja time tu - terharu kengkawan sendirik nak mek tolong. Mek suka mek suka! So mek pun tolong la dia waktu tu dan Kie pulak bantu si Yus. Yang penting, waktu Miss Two Faces tu, orang ramai tak percaya mek hadir semata² nak tolong Amanda/ make up artist and backstage helper for Amanda. HEHEHEH! Ramai orang ingat MEK yang nak masuk bertanding, BOLEH? LOL! Mati la kalau mek masuk Miss Two Faces. Time woman, ok lah. Time kena transform jadik jantan, SAH SAH FAIL!!! LOL!

Miss Two Faces 2004 - mek yang ditengah itiew, siapkan si Amanda yang sebelah Kanan mek (kirenye sebelah KIRI PIC nih ler yang in red itiew) kesian dia, kena ejek FLOWER GIRL gara² rambut yang mek siapkan baginya itiew - HAHAHA... sorry nah Amanda - pensabotajan secara tak sengaja! LOL!

Yang penting, waktu Miss Two Faces tu lah... ade suara² meh habaq kat mek belakang stage...

"Lady!!! U ols tampak cantik sekallllsss malam nih!!! Harus u ols lebih cantik dari pesaing u ols tah sape nama tah yang menangkan u ols di Miss Universe tahun lepas tu!"

"Sape? Ginger? Dia ade datang ke?"

"Yesss! Dia datang ok! Harus kau posing depan dia kasik dia makan hati tgk kau yang lebih slim dan cantik dari tahun lepas, dan yang penting, lebih vast dari dia malam nih... gi la tgk dia noq!"

"Mana mek tahu dia duduk mana?!"

"Ala - dia duduk sekali dengan kawan kau si Che Det tu, dekat meja² depan, cuba ko gi tgk Lady..."

Dan ZASTTTT terus mek tinggalkan anak ayam mek si Amanda tu (sorry Amanda, mek tipu u ols mek pi toilet! LOL!) dan lari nih dengan dress separa seethrough katanya with chinese haltered neck, pi nengok Ginger si Miss Universe itiew. Sampai jer di meja Che Detz, mata mek meliar carik mana satu ponen tu. Sungguh mek tak perasan pada mula²nya. Memang betul dia ade disitu, depan mata mek, dengan make up ala² lite² feeling woman, dengan rambut ala² feeling rebondiing katanya walaupun kejung, harus dia makan hati tgk bun mek! - mek ingat lagik! Mek ala ala senyum² kekwat nih, macam... "Ini ke dia Miss Universe yang kalahkah mek tu? Haiyoyo... malukan title jer! Baik kasik aku menang, sah sah mek akan serikembangankan title tu. Bukan cam dia - dengan make up KELABU!" (MATI LA MEK! GINGER DAH BERSIAP SEDIA DENGAN ENTRY TERBARU KATANYA NAK BIDAS CARUTANCARAS MEK TERHADAPNYA! Mek pasrah - mek redha - mek terima sajo!!!!!!!!!!!! *mek pun dah ready compose siap dah saved dah nih, comment² yang akan mek balas dalam entry si Ginger tu! Heheh soooo Miss Future Tense! LOL!)

Yang penting, issue mek ngan Ginger nih sebenarnya tak habis disitiew jer. Malam tu lepas the event, mek ingat lagik. Dia laser mek, dan mek laser dia - masing² dari dalam kereta, di Cik Sit katanya - (setelah mendapat persetujuan G utk ceritskan hal ini - exclusive nih, kan G? Walaupun temanya sepatutnya event nih happened di hari/ waktu/ tarikh yang lain, KAN? LOL!)

As my car masuk ke Cik Sit, I saw Ginger in another car, heading OUT of the ever busy Cik Sit.

"Heyyyy sangat tak sesuweiiii katanya Miss Universe melacur di sini!? Tak jatuh standard ke u ols? U ols tu kan Miss Universe katanya? Hahahaha"

"Haiiiii u ols tu also apa kurangnya, Miss Malaysia katanya? Tak malu ke menjatuhkan gelaran ratu MALAYSIA datang ketempat macam nih??? Tak ke keji namanya?"

Terus - mek rase dia pon sentap, mek pon sentap - dua dua terus buat hal sendirik! HAHAHAHAH... So itu lah dia, sedikit advertisement pasal mek dengan si Ginger tu! HEHEHEH - so berbalik kepada kesah mek dibelakang tabir. Mek happy sangat malam tu dapat menolong si Amanda siap² segala bagai - terasa diri nih amatlah diperlukan dan penting disisinya. Dan along the way, mek ade la jugak turunkan nasihat itu ini kat dia, dan Alhamdulillah dia berjaya masuk top 10 but tak mampu nak ke top 5. Ok lah tu, kirenya, kan? Yang penting malam tu - mek sorak bagai orang gila ok. Mek suka sangat event tu malam tu - mek feeling² happy gilos... hiks!

Selain daripada itiew - dikala waktu nih lah mek mula ade officially sorang anak ayam yang mek didik asuh bagai semua for Miss Universe 2004. Mek pun never dreamed nak ade anak ayam sendiri katanya. Tapi time tiba utk mek really have seorang anak ayam and I did and mek turunkan segala² ilmu yang mek ada kat dia... sedutan sikit dari Blog CD yang intervied mek pasal hal anak ayam mek nih...

CD: Ok. Berbalik kepada MU2004/2005. Congratulations! Anak ayam, anak didik you sendiri bolot the title ek? How does that feel?

LL: Thanks...Heheheh... ala ala je la laaaaaaaa. Dah rezeki dia. Sejarah about Sharleen (Miss Venezuela a.k.a MISS UNIVERSE 2004/2005) and me… I got to know this adik2 baru dari UNITEN nih waktu dia buat show waktu heats of Superstar Search 2004 kat Bleu Bar... mak tgk dia, macam, ada pontensi. So I soksek2 carik infos about her and stuff. Managed to get her number, called her up, told her I wanna help her get into Miss Universe 2004. She was a bit shocked but accepted my offer of jadik anak ayam I and for months la jugak, we do a bit of training here and there. I kasik dia tgk vcd2 miss I, suruh dia buat homework, test make up, this and that. To me, TO ME ek, not to anyone else which I tak bother sangat, this gal... she is, to me, cute, witty, ade brains to go along with her looks. So that’s why I berani pegang dia. Dan kalau nak jadik mak ayam, can’t expect anak ayam datang cari kita and suruh kite jaga dia, sponsor this and that. Like Sharleen, I saw the qualities in her, I saw that she could go far... I saw the younger me... heheheheheh... so that’s why I took her as my anak ayam. It works that way. It’s like, mak ayam will devote and cari his or her own anak ayam and doesn’t work the other way round. So on that day of MU2004/2005, although I sibuk with work as committee member, buat shows opening with GlittersDotCom and what not, I tetap sempat siapkan dia, head to toe, kasik dia pakai dresses I, rambut, accessories, shoes and stuffs, semuenye I tanggung. And it was worth it. Worth sponsoring everything that I did. She was more than I expected. Honestly, I didn’t expect her to be in top 10, but when she got in, I was like, ok, Alhamdulillah. She made it. It was then up to her to continue her struggle and give out her best in the q/a session. And when she answered the way she did that night, there was a pinch of me saying she could be the next MU. And masin mulut mak, menjadik. Alhamdulillah. Dah
rezeki dia... :)

A year ago Mak Ayamnye dapat tempat ke tiga di Miss Universe 2003 - pada tahun 2004, anak ayamnya piular menang Miss Universe 2004, HOW!? Itu lah namanya rezeki... hiks!

Sambungan interview CD dengan Sharlene, si anak ayamkiew yang masih bergelar Miss Universe 2004 itiew - sila lah click HERE u ols! Hiks!

Dah selesai bab tu, di kala tika penghujung episode ini jugak lah, mek telah menyerahkan title mek as Miss Malaysia 2003, kepada pemenang Miss Malaysia 2004... Ayang... mrasalah baca petikan yang diambil darik itiew interview dari CD also u ols!

CD: Tapi after MU2003, you managed to secure Miss Malaysia 2003, kan?

LL: It's like, a revenge sort of thing. I prepared well for Miss Malaysia 2003. I knew I could do it and I wanted to win. But there was at one time, I thought, I might just get 1st runner-up again sbb waktu they annouce the top two remaining, were me, Miss Penang and Ayang, Miss Perak. Ayang to me was my thoughest fight for Miss Malaysia 2003. Eventually, she got second and I won the title.

CD: You lost weight a bit during Miss Malaysia, tul tak?

LL: Lite lite sugiii lah jugak, turun lah sikit dari time Miss Universe 2003 tu, bentat yang maha azab. Ehehehehe.

CD: You dah crownkan this years' winner, Miss Malaysia 2004, kan?

LL: Yeap. Miss Malaysia 2004 this year yang diorganizedkan by Kak Sharmila of the Milla Entertainments dah pun berakhir. Contest tu telah diadakan on the 10th, October, at Saloma. T’was like, just a day after MU2004.

CD: How does it feel to give away the title balik?

LL: I felt a bit, a bit only ah... sad about it. Thinking that I will no longer be Miss Malaysia, thinking about the wonderful things that has happened to me throughout my whole reign. Yeah, terase la jugak. On the other hand, happy jugak sbb dah tak pikul burden as a title holder. Tak gittu Gingger? Hehehehehehehehehe.

CD: Dan ape perasan Lady bile u all kena crownkan Ayang, yang merupakan 1st Runner-Up last years’ Miss Malaysia?

LL: Biase jer. She was and still is a good competitor. She has got that spirit in her yang I look up to. When I was in Saloma witnessing MM2004/05, I knew it, she’s gonna be my successor. And when I crownkan dia, I sempat bisik kat telinga dia “This time, the crown is yours Ayang”. She cried... cried like there’s no tomorrow. And the she replied “Thank you”...in sobbing tears lah kan… eheheheehe...

Miss Malaysia - the one and only pageant/ title yang tak akan sampai bila² mek lupakan - NEVER!

***During her final walk as Miss Malaysia 2003/2004, she was asked this question by Regina, the MC for the pageant...

Regina: Laurielle, tell us all, what was it like, for the past one year, to be Miss Malaysia 2003/2004?

LL: Assalamualaikum and a very good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. For the past one year, it has been the most unforgettable experience of my life, reigning the title of Miss Malaysia 2003/2004. I’ve made a lot of new friends, not to mention few enemies too. I’ve learned a lot too, like I’ve learned, like, how to carry myself well like a true queen, how to ignore rumours and take things positively, and most of all, winning the title has changed the way I think, the way I see things and the way I present and carry myself… and to this years’ winner. I hope that you carry the title well as well as you carry yourself after winning the title. Remember that you deserve the title, regardless what other people might say or even think about you. You go girl!

In short - yeah, it felt good to let go of the title tapi the sweet-o-memories, the crowing moments, semuanya - I will NEVER ever lupakan. And the next day mek ingat, dah start PUASA 2004! Hiks! Owh did I tell you, Ginger ngan mek ala² commolot bebaik nih waktu she crowned Sharlene anak ayam mek kat Miss Universe 2004? HAHAHAH - and lepas pada kes berbaik tu la - we became really close, sampai la ke sekarang. In many ways, without her, mek rase mek dah separuh gila kat AS nih! HAHAHAHAH * Syiiaall mek nak nangis! Over tau!

Mek tetap went on with my shows...

Life went on for me, biarpun berpuasa tapi tetap ade tawaran shows dan performances yang mek kena attend/ buat. What to do - dah kemaruk sangat nak show, kan? Nahhh hambek! LOL! Tapi walaupun bershow segala bagai, puasa tetap ok. Ingat jugak waktu² berbuka posa dengan Mak Ayam Sharmine, Kak Iterk, Abang Zali, Abang Zambry, Freda and the rest - Valeri, semua geng² Fabulous Disco Show cast kat CM tu - meeriiiah sangat! Dan lepas berbuka/ makan, NAHHH! Bermulalah transformasi jadik showgirl utk show malam itiew. Tapi it was fun, walaupun memenatkan. Ini la dikala mek tgh bergumbira di hari² akhir mek sebelum...

Fasting/ berpuasa nih kan, memana pun boleh, kan? I mean, even kalau bukan bulan Ramadhan pun kalau nak puasa, boleh kan? Ini kan lagik tempat dan waktu, tul tak? Memana pung boleh, cuma nak dengan tannak, boleh tahan dan tak leh tahan jer kaedahnye... dan maybe, perbezaan feeling berpuasa dinegara/ negeri/ umah sendiri, dengan berpuasa dinegara asing... tu jer la kot.

Well, since today is the... let me see *sambil kire ngan jari* owh yes, 3rd day of fasting, mek rase dah tiba masanya mek ceritskan to everyone my experiences bersahur, puasa dan berbuka (apa² jer yang bersangkut paut dengan the month of Ramadhan) as a flight crew for 5 years dulu... (yerrr... past tense lagik! Mati la mek digelar Biduanita - mek belum nak jadik icon yang fofuler dengan menghantar email layang serta meminta mat² rempit memana tah pukul mek depan TV3 ok... mek belum sampai status itiew lagik lah. Mek yang Diva Past Tense digelar Biduanita? Lawok lah! Jgn samakan mek ngan Kak Pah ok - although badan mek besau, tapi tak der lah sebesau dia ok... Hehehee!)

Ok so, Mek akan berceritakan tentang 3 perkara. Bersahur as a crew, Berpuasa as a crew, dan Berbuka Puasa as a crew - yes, lets do the 3Bs! Hehehehe... bukan BabyBeeBusuk or BeBeBusk ok! (mati la mek kalau Kak Nam BeBe dan Beepuks membaca entry nih - lariiiiiiiiii!!!) Anyways, the 3B's tu, yang tadik tu la - Bersahur Berpuasa dan Berbuka. Hiks! So mek akan citerkan tentang 3 cabang itiew, dan mungkin mek akan selitkan the pros and cons of each cabang - errr... betul ke ape mek cakap nih? Betul la kan? Hahaha - mati la taik lalat Biduanita... LOL!

Jadik crew nih itself, dah memang seronok (walaupun temanya at times, SEDEY tapi ok la jugak some other times when you really have fun dalam flight tu)... and for me, personally, having the chance utk bersahur, berpuasa, dan berbuka as a crew, dalam flight or during nightstops kat out of base stations (lets just skip the bersahur, berpuasa dan berbuka as a crew DI RUMAH la ek - tu dah macam goin' about in daily lives, kan? Hiks!) - so anyways, bersahur, berpuasa dan berbuka as a crew, dalam flight or during nightstops, it gave me a whole new meaning of experience yang I never knew I would goin' through. Memang best ok. Feelingnya lain sikit.

Lets start with bersahur dalam flight or during nightstops.

Ok, kalau bersahur dalam flight (usually for flights yang arrival early morning, say 6.50am, 6.30am ke...) selalunya, we ols crew Muslim akan start mengketedaghah dalam flight tu lepas service before landing. And yes, the term, MENGUNYAH jarang ade dalam crew punye brain-vocab. Sedeh kan? Yer lah - kalau feelig wanna take you own sweet time, mengunyah, memamah ala² feeling², confirm you land with the meals/ tray on your lap (kalau maintained on your lap tak pe la. Buatnye tray tu melambung ke muka hang? SESUAII!!!) Tapi yer lah, selalunya semua crew sempat bersahur dalam flight. How do we know what time sahur ended? Senang jer - tanye jer lah flight deck crew i.e technical crew; diaorang akan tahu the exact location the aircraft tgh flying at tu, and thus depa boleh la estimate what time der what time sahur habis, kan? Haiiii - life was so easy. Tapi mek SELALUNYA will eat my sahur 2 3 jam sebelum sahur habis, dan just before sahur habis tu mek minum air orange juice bebanyak (ntah kenapa, juice oren dalam flight tu, kalau dalam bulan² biasa, nampak, dull, boring jer. Mai masuk bulan posa, HAIYOH!!!! Merembesssssssnye tgk orange juice tu! LOL! Mati la kotak orange JOY for EY zone! LOL!) Tapi ade jugak penah mek buat KUL/ MAA/ KUL flight (yes, Kuala Lumpur to Madras and return back - departure ex Kul somewhere around 10pm dan arrival balik dari Madras 6.30am the very nexy day - a VERY tiring daily/ turnaround flight - bohsan!) dan dalam flight tu, FULL LOAD, even sampai ke 1st class! NANGIS waktu tu I remembered I was in Business Class tapi mek TETAP kena tolong EY Zone yang maha packed. And disebabkan dedikasinya mek, mek TERLUPA SAHUR! Haiyoh! Nangis tapi what to do - mek pasrah. Hiks!

Kalau bersahur during nightstops - ini senang sangat. Usually kalau bagi me la, mek prefer bersahur sebelum tidur. Dan 4am tu bangun sat, MINUM jer, then booom tidoq balik. Hiks! Terlepas sahur during nightstops? NEVA! Heheheh either terlebih awal mek sahur, or mek sahur sebelum habis waktu. Tapi talking about bersahur waktu nightstops nih, mek suka kalau station nightstop tu sahurnya LEWAT dan berbuka puasanya AWAL - jadik temanya u ols akan berpuasa SEKEJAP jer lah. That happens selalu kalau bersahur di KL dan berbuka di SABAH ke? Labuan ke? Suka sangat. Tapi kalau bersahur di Sabah dan berbuka dia KL, matikudasai la korang! LOL! Tapi tak seteruk kalau bersahur di KL (yang dah sememangnya awal) dan arrivalnya dia summer countries ie. Australia ke (during end of the year tu kan) mrasalah nak berbuka lambat nak mampos, sempat mek monopos! LOL!

Now moving on to BERPUASA as a crew dalam flight or during stopovers...

Sepanjang mek bekerja dengan the airline, mek ingat SEKALI jer sepanjang my services, yang mek dinch puasa. Tu pun sebab mek sakit dalam flight. Hiks. Other than that, mek akan puasa, biarpun puasanya agak lama. Contoh. Bersahur di KL habis by 6am (katakanla... ek?) - my departure to LONDON is at 10nish am. My arrival in London say 3.30pm plus². Berbuka di LONDON (kena ikut waktu London la kan since u are in London, duh?) say around 4.30pm (nih mek ingat² lupa dah la u ols. Ala² mek tau nih somewhere in 2003 kot... December ke November tah). So ok, lets u ols, calculate (sambil calculate kat kertas dan calculater bagai nih! LOL!!!!) MRASALAH KAU BERPUASA for more than 12 hours ok!!! Imagine start berpuasa at 6am. Depart 10am ex KUL (10am Malaysian time = 3am London time? Rasenye la kot, 7 hours different kan, Lee?) Arrived in London at 3pm (London time 3pm, Malaysian time say 10pm) - berbuka busuk² katalah at 4pm London time - NAH! Kire lah sendirik berapa jam hang berpuasa! NANGIS ok! Penah mek dapat 3 kali London flight, departure ex Kul yang pagi tu, arrival London petang. Memang seksa dalam flight ok. Bukan LAPAR sangat tau, DAHAGA yang teramats ok sebab ala ala dehydrated ok! Tak makan tak pa, tapi itiew ORANGE JUICE!?!?! NANGIS ok! Sabar sangat². Sampai kalau ke London time nak berbuka, I would rather minum orange juice JOY tu sekotak dulu baru mek makan nasi. HAHAHA.

Kalau berpuasa di negara orang, tengok la timing tu. Kalau di Europe waktu winter tu kita posa, then selamat la sebab posa sat jer. Yer lah, daytime depa kan cepat, kan? Hiks! Tapi kalau pi posa kat Australia waktu depa tgh SUMMER pada hujung tahun itiew, memang menangis! Tapi kalau your days kat nightstop tu dipenuhi dengan activities ie shopping dan sightseeing, tak terasa sangat kot puasa lama tu. Hiks. Macam kalau kat Australia, mek prefer pi jengjalang pusing², nanti balik² jer boleh berbukak posa dah. And usually kan, citer pasal puasa di negara orang nih, you ols akan rase LAIN sikit. Tah lah, for me personally me felt different sebab you're fasting di negara orang, lain la feelingnya. Susah nak explain, sebab for some, ade yang cakap "Ala, apa bezanya u ols berpuasa memana pong? Sama jer, kan?" Dinch u ols. Macam kalau berpuasa di Jepun, tah la - mek rase so ala² asing sangat; sama macam berpuasa di Europe and stuff. Tapi kalau berpuasa di Delhi, Bombay, Istanbul, lebih² lagi Jeddah, I just feel like, am in Malaysia/ at home. Yer lah, probably sebab those countries tu negara muslim/ or banyak muslim, tapi like India tu, mek tetap rasa am in India but somehow you ols tetap rase macam at home. Tah la, mek yang laluinya, maybe mek paham kot. Nak explain in words, susah la pulak...

Dan the last part would be - berbuka puasa dalam flight/ dinightstops...

Kalau berbukak puasa during nighstops, at some stations, MERIAH sundel! Like in LONDON FOREVER meriah sebab crew MAJORITY akan buat gathering dalam bilik sesiape, even you not in the same set tapi kalau dah kenal, ajak mengajak la sesama semua, kan? Very terasa persis Malaysian Hall versi Cabin Crew - boleh? LOL! What will do, kitaorang masak nasik (yes, kami bawak beras ok!) dan kami masak lah pa per yang patut. Normally kami bawak lauk pauk dari KL yang dah kami bekukan dalam flight - and then just masak/ perhangatkan jer lah lauk pauk tu semua dalam bilik hotel using our cooker (majority of us crew belik cooker tu di Singapore hiks!) Ade kalanya kalau rajin terlebih, we would shop bebende kat China Town ke ape ke, then kami masak la 2 3 jam sebelum berbuka. (nahh! Tuala nih penuh depan pintu bilik, cover tannak kasik smell/ asap keluar - kang naya jer - No Cooking inside the rooms ma... hehehe!)

Yang bestnya bukan ape - the get together tu yang best. Mrasalah kalau 4 days off kat London, 2 hari kami makan dalam bilik, maybe 2 hari kami berbukak kat luar. Usually that happens kalau kami kuar jengjalan or shopping ke ape ke, dan malas nak balik hotel ptg tu, mrasalah terus berbukak kat luar - carik memana Chinese Restaurant dan order plain Chinese Fried Rice ke ape ke - eheheh. For me, tawakkal is the word. Mek tak picky² sngt bab makan nih like some crew. I mean, maybe family background mek banyak ajar mek to tawakal when it comes to food and when it comes to berbukak di oversea. Hehehe. Ade kalanya also mek akan berbukak puasa kat umah abang mek si N tu. Kadang² jer la. Mek pong malas nak pi sangat. Ada sekali tu, mek bawak kawan² mek pi berbukak kat umah abang mek itiew. Hiks! Katanya abang kiew tasty kat sorang crew itiew - mati la mek! LOL!

The part where berbukak dalam flight - for some crew, they all rase SEDEH sangat. But NOT FOR ME! For me, heavennye berbukak dalam flight! Save duit - makan freeflow! LOL!!!!! Air orange juice JOY EVERYWHERE! LOL!! Me and my orange juice! Tah lah, for those yang dah kerej 30 tahun dalam airlines, berbukak dalam flight tu dah macam boring sebab tah la - mek pun tak leh nak explain on behalf of them. Tapi for me, berbukak puasa dalam flight la paling best.

Ada kalanya sebelum berbukak posa, kami (crew) akan distributekan kek buah dan kurma pada Muslim pax. Kalau ade lebih, non-Muslim pon kami hentam bagi jer. LOL! Tapi kalau during flight, memang lah penat sikit. Sebab imagine kalau buat flight B747 with more than 300 pax. Kata lah ade 120 Muslim pax dalam tu, dan crew, 18 crew semuanya MUSLIM, haaaa... mana kami nak berbukak, mana nak serve pax, mana nak LANDING nya? Tapi as time goes by, bende² cam tu, mek kire lite² dah boleh handle dah. Hiks! Mrasalah sumbat dalam molot makanan mek tu, dan TELAN terus! Tak pun, curik bawak masuk Orange Juice Joy tu sekotak dalam dalam jacket mek, bawak masuk ke toilet, NAH! Tonggak jer minum! HAHAHAHA!

Sebelum mek end this pic-less entry, mek nak do this list of the things yang mek buat dalam flight during puasa month yang mek takkan lupa seumur hidup mek...

• Curik² minum orange juice dalam toilet sebab ala² tak sempat (busy) during berbukak time - ala² terlalu dahaga la katanya - SANGGUP ok!
• Nih happened waktu mek buat local flight. Mek nak serve meal service during flight waktu bulan posa. Mek pi tanya a muslim pax sorang nih nak makan ke idak - why mek tanye? Sebab muka dia ala² chinese, mana la mek tau dia muslim sebab he was in EY and usually domestic EY pax, crew tak der masa nak check pax. info. sheet (PIS). So mek tak check lah nama penumpang tu - NAH! KENA MAKI sundel! Harus terus mek malu, lalu lari masuk toilet nangis! LOL!
• Mek pi habaq kat sorang pax business class dah masuk waktu berbukak sedangkan jam mek sebenarnye 5 minit cepat. Lepas kawan tu dah minum, makan buah, CAPTAIN baru buat announcement berbuka puasa! MATI LA MEK tak keluar dari galley! LOL!
• Mek waktu tu punya lah tasty kat Thai Glass Noodle salad yang diservekan di EY waktu tu, (mek keje Business class) - mek sanggup pi EY lepas depa habis service, mek amik the salads tu semua dari unused trays, mek packed kan dalam Air Sickness Bag, dan mek bokmasuk dalam my bag. Sampai² jer nightstop (was in Kuching or KK, hmmm) mek makan lah - Motif, TGH BULAN - dinch ade duit katanya! So mrasalah Orange Juice JOY tu mek offloadkan dari aircraft sebanyak 4 kotak beserta salad thai dalam bekas salad tu mek bawak turun 8 bekas!
• Mek pernah berbukak posa dalam cockpit dengan ROKOK dan segelas orange juice jer - waktu tu technical crew punya lah ngam ngan mek. Lima minit sebelum berbukak, dia called mek masuk cockpit. Mek dah separuh carut dia sebab mek dah prepared my meals nak berbukak. Alih² masuk cockpit, a glass of JOY Orange Juice dah ade, dan dia suruh mek berbukak ngan rokok! BESTNYE!!!! Hiks!

Overall mek nak katanya - berpuasa/ sahur dan berbukak puasa as a cabin crew, suatu panglaman yang I will NEVER ever lupakan buat seumur hidupkiew - biar lah past tense, tapi tetap, janji mek dah laluinya... mek suka mek suka! *Mek nangis mek nangis mek nak fly lagik macam si oD itiew. Opps!!! Hiks...

Owh yes, what did I tell ya? Back to back movie review kan? Hiks! Mrasalah kali nih review utk movie FLIGHT PLAN pulak. Hehehehe...


Flying at 40,000 feet in a cavernous, state-of-the-art E-474 aircraft, Kyle Pratt (Foster) faces every mother's worst nightmare when her six-year-old daughter Julia vanishes without a trace mid-flight from Berlin to New York. Already emotionally devastated by the unexpected death of her husband, Kyle desperately struggles to prove her sanity to the disbelieving flight crew and passengers while facing the very real possibility that she may be losing her mind. While neither the plane's Captain Rich (Sean Bean), nor Air Marshal Gene Carson (Peter Sarsgaard) want to doubt the bereaved widow, all evidence indicates that her daughter was never on board resulting in paranoia and doubt among the passengers and crew of the plane. Finding herself desperately alone, Kyle can only rely on her own wits to solve the mystery and save her daughter.
Genres: Thriller
Running Time: 1 hr. 33 min.
Release Date: September 23rd, 2005 (wide).
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for violence, intensity.

Ok now, nih mek punye review piula... hiks!

Siapa sangka siapa menduga org kacak boleh jadik jahat!?! Nangis!
Movie started off a bit slow, dan banyak campuran aduk present tense and also past tense (everything seemed a lil'bit blurrish sket sebab ala ala semuanya gelap, slow and so... tah? Macam, nak kena nengokkkk bebetul baru la nak paham - tu pun ado jugak yang mek dinch pahamrinas) So ok, story started off pasal Kyle Pratt (Jodie), mother to 6yo Julia, yang baru jer lost her husband yang terjatuh dari building katanya? And lepas dah kes tu, Kyle decided nak bawak Julia balik ke New York (owh yes, they were in Berlin rasenya). Dan nak bawak balik Julia tu pulak, beserta dengan keranda hubbynya itiew, dalam flight E474, ala² a state of the art new plane (which looked somewhat like the new A380 itiew) dan kesahnye Kyle yang designed the engines.

Nih time before take off itiew...
They boarded the plane, seated, dan kalau betul² nengok gaya movie nih started, dah banyak nak menunjukkan bahawa Julia ala² dinch pernah wujud (kononnye nak kelirukan us penonton la kan). And so lepas departed, Kyle fell asleep, dan 3 hours later, woke up, noticed Julia was missing, again (yes, again refers to Julia dah missing dalam airport for like less than 5 minutes?) and thats when Kyle mula jadik gila. Well, mula² tu tak der lah gila sangat, tapi, ala² conviencing lah yang dia persis gil gil bab! Mula la aktiviti searching upside down segala ruang yang ado dalam flight tu, with the help of the Captain (Sean Bean) and also the air marshall si Peter Sarsgaard itiew. The movie nih mek nengok very macam Panic Room whereby Jodie memang gila²punye sayang and will do anything for her daughter. Yeap, dalam movie nih pun, cam tu la kesahnya. Cuma this time, the case berlaku dalam flight.

Kyle Pratt (Jodie) mula sebok naik turun naik turun from main deck ke first floor bagai nak mencari anaknye yang missing itiew...
Pandai lah movie nih dirancang atur, kasik penonton keliru. Banyak sangat adengan/ perkara yang will buatkan kite pikir² dua tiga kali - betul ke Kyle nih ado anaknya on board? Or memang betul as claimed by the captain yang anaknya was never onboard sebab anaknya mati also dengan the husband? Tapi Kyle ade kuarkan statement yang terus yakinkan mek bahawa Julia was onboard the flight "If my daughter is dead, why am I travelling only with my husband's coffin? Where's my daughters coffin?" Something like that la kot. Betul u ols. Very thriller lah jugak cuma bukannye killing² or horror² thriller, cuma macam thriller yang buatkan u ols wondering and asik lah tanye diri u ols mana satu betul mana satu salah.

Mula lah kes lari pi sana sini, carik anak katanya... hehehe...
Mula dari kes semua orang ingat dia nih gila, Kyle banyak buat bende² yang ala ala nak riuh rendahkan the whole flight - released the oxygen masks lah segala bagai. Ade part² yang bebetul tensi nengoknya (bab menjerit gaduh bertekak, jgn cakap lah - most of the time bile part org dah ingat dia nih gila, ha, banyak lah jadik scene² jerit mengamuk bagai nih) tapi itu lah, like I said, kisahnye tak der beza macam Panic Room. Tapi dalam pertengahan movie nih, Jodie ala ala macam tuduh Arab sorang dua dalam flight tu yang kidnapped anaknya. Conviencing again tapi dinch, bukan. Yang mek heran (maybe mek tak dgr clearly kot) macam mana at the end of the movie, orang yang mek tak budget sangat tu yang merupakan dalang paling jaaaahat nih dalam citernih? Hanjeng sangat! Sentap - dan lebih sentap bilemana mek dinch hui ape sebab orang jahat yang mek tak sangka²kan itiew would wanna amik anak Jodie itiew *yes you ols. Julia WAS onboard the flight. Heran sangat kenapa si DIA tu nak amik Julia, dan MACAM MANA boleh pi sembunyik kat avionic area tu... siap amik bag si Julia dan boarding pass segala semua - Yeap, part² nih yang tak terjawab bagi mek dan memaksa mek buat banyak spekulasi. Dan yang teramatlah penting, Julia TETAP tidur the whole time dalam movie nih! Bole?

Antarra babak menariks dalam cerita nih... noticed the galley seemed all white, all pure, all fresh? Hiks!
Overall mek would have to say, very, VERY interesting movie, tapi tetap ade element KELIRU also sampai ke sudah. But I loved the ending bila semuaorang yang tuduh dia nih gila, semua macam muka² bersalahdosa sangat! HAHAH Mek suke sangat! I would give this movie a B+ jer u ols... hiks!

Ok so tak penah² mek nak buat movie review citer Hindustan katanya - but I guess, movie nih terlalu asyik for me to say no. So, nih la dia, review movie Hindustan pertama mek! Hiks! I mean, bukannye I don't fancy movie² Hindustan nih semua - mek suka, Devdas la, Aa Ab Laut Chalen (betul ke mek eja tu? Ala - yang Aishwarya Rai berlakon tu ler... ) dll. Tapi I have to admit, memang dah lama mek dinch nengok citer Hisdustan until semalam sebelum mek tidurans itiew...

Nih mek scanned cover vcd itiew. Mrasalah mek carik banner/ poster utk movie nih online, tapi dinch ad! Hiks!

Ok, so, movie kali nih ialah "Salaam Namaste" lakonan Saif Ali Khan (haiyoh! MEREMBES!!!!) dan also Preity Zinta (memang sehsuai nama dia Preity... memang pretty pon. Now that she dah lost weight, haiyoh! Makin cantik! Dagu dia also melerts u ols! Oppsss!). Citer nih 100% katanya made in Melbourne, Australia (must be one of those big budget movies kot?)

Directed by Siddharth Anand and under the production of Aditya Chopra (nih adik beradik Priyanka Chopra Miss World tu ke?), the movie started off in a very nice way, ala ala flash back past tense on each character/ actorsnye. Cool I'd say. Ok, kalau ikut GAYA mek nak buat review nih, mek mungkin akan buat in detail sampai habis 3 Vcds tu, kan? *tak leh jadik nih - sebab lepas entry nih mek rase nak buat entry movie review pasai Flight Plan piuler... ala ala back to back movie reviews lah kesahnye. Hhahaha. So anyways, mek will try and make this as simple and as short as possible.



Nikhil Arora (Saif Ali Khan yang jerzzz itiew) dinch suka that name. He likes to be called NICK, the cool Nick. Graduated with a degree in Architecture rasenye, tapi dinch suka sebab he loves cooking (ala² straight macho guys who loves cooking - bukan ke selalunye depa nih gibek? Hurmmmm..) - so from an achitect ala² turned into a successful chef la kisahnya nih...

Amber (Preity Zinta) yang asiklah dipanggei HAMBER (sedehhhh boss dinch bols sebut A tapi jadik H - maka jadik lah HAMBER! LOL!) pada mulanya dia dikenalkan sebagai a medical student in Melbourne who works part time as a DJ dekat a local radio station called SALAAM NAMASTE katanya. And she's very der famous lah kirenye sebab... tah (mek pon dinch hui sangat sebab English/ Malay subtitle dalam VCD itiew cam cipet jer; kadang² ado, kadang² nan ado!)

Funny, I didn't remember having seen this part of the movie? Owh - maybe mek skipped kot? Hmmm...

And the two was supposed to meet up kat studio when Amber was supposed to interview Nick tapi kaedahnya Nick woke up late and was late for the interview. Dari kes tu, Amber upset sebab dia dinch suka orang late comers katanya. So oklah - dari sitiew, asik lah depa gaduh over the phone. But they actually met kat a friend's wedding and apparently dua dua ala² lied to each other about their real identities. Owh you guys should watch this part - funny sangat bila part pecah lobang tu! LOL!

Actually nih caption dalam movie itiew, dalam last² part dah nih! Sedeyyy...

Tapi lepas tu, they sort of like, fell in love la kirenye (that figures) and so boom baam boom baam, they moved in together dengan alasan depa nak get to know each other better la kirenya. They rented out a beautiful house - tapi landlordnya, HAZAB! Tapi lawak... with the landlord's wife ala ala hanya tau cakap "SORRY????" and the landlord guy would say "EKJEKLY" (exactly la kirenye)- u ols! SERRIOUSSLY! He said like that tau. At firts it was kindda like irritating la jugak tapi lama², jadik cam.. bodoh sialll... lawak... hahah - cam tu la kaedahnya...

And so these two stayed together, pretending to be hubby and wify lah for some ppl, dan they lived as if like a normal couple would be doin'. Macam happily married gittiew. And yes, anda tidak akan ketinggalan bab bab nyanyi² segala bagai... mek terpaksa fwrdkan part tu... boring...

Owh yes, bermula lah babak bergaduh antara this two lovebirds... hiks!

It looked as if segala²nya so purfect sangat... until... hiks! Amber de Hamber PREGNANT katanya!!! NANGIS! Ape jadik lepas itiew? That Nick terus sentap, jadik separuh gila la bagai semua. Siap suruh buat abortion nih! Impact movie nih bagus la. Sebab from high high happy segala bagai, terus, BOOM! Sedey yaamatz! Dan lepas pada tu, everything went from right to wrong, from happy to sad, from all smiling to crying - haiyoh! MEK TENSI terus nengoknya tapi that feeling nak nengok ape jadik last² tu, tetap ade. Walaupun kita boleh agak apa kesudahan citernya, but still... nak jugak tgk, to reach to the end tu, cam mana kesahnye, kan? Hahah - kalau nak tau macam mana endingnya, mrasalah carik vcd citer Salaam Namaste nih! Best sangat! For me, it's not TOO Indian, and not tooo White sangat. A good combi... like, lifestyle omputih tapi nilai pertuturan in Indian totap ado. Mek suka mek suka! Hiks!
