21st February 2007
As usual work. More stories to tell abt office politics. On 21st February, received a circular informing da staffs, secretaries and lawyers abt Dinner & Dance 2007 on 24 March 2007. We are allowed to bring only ONE partner.
I put a tick beside my name indicating that I am going and besides putting a tick, I write with. With means I would be bringing a partner. I tell u when I wrote that ah they had start talking already..
After lunch, I was asked by one of them a very annoying question, "So Maria, u'll be bringing a partner rite for dinner & dance?" I nodded my head. "Who"? I tell u ah da tone of "who" ah is not merely just asking, "who" but that tone ah is aiyah I dun know how to explain it but da tone of their question of "who" was definitely not merely asking but directing and hinting sumthing else.
So, wanna know WHAT I answered them? MY MOTHER. Some heard it kept quiet, da rest do not believe it so said among themselves, "She bring her mum lah." Dun want to believe, be it! I really will bring my mother. I am not lying to them. I am indeed going to bring my mother.
Bunch of busybodies.. I told them already. I have no boyfriend. Means I really have no boyfriend. Doesnt mean when I stated that I will be coming with a partner, they can assume I would be bringing my special guy friend or whoever. My mother can also be partner, cant she?
Before this, there was another incident. Remember 14th February? Yup, Valentine's Day. After work, I wasnt in a hurry to go home. So I was just sitting down outside da mrt station, waiting for my friend - a gal - to call me. We had plans to go out on that V-Day so instead of me rushing to da plc there 1st, I better wait for her calls or sms, in case she said she cant make it, it would be easier for me just to go home straight. If I were to go to da plc we're supposed to meet and she last min cant make it, it would be a hassle for me to go back home a LONG WAY.
Hence, I sat down outside da mrt station. I didnt notice anyone I know approaching me. But da next day, when I went down to da pantry to make myself some coffee, a staff from 15th floor - a man - came to me and asked me, "Yestday, u sat there alone, waiting for who?" I was already like, "huh?" Wanna know WHAT I ANSWER HIM? "I WAS JUST SITTING DOWN. Didnt wait for anyone." Feeling dissastisfied, he exclaimed, "Oh really?" Duh... Dun wanna believe then forget it.. dun interrogate me like a criminal!!!
24th February
Ainn's 25th birthday!
Also, there was Pesta Perdana at 8.3opm on Suria. Of course, I wouldnt want to miss that show. They did this once very 2 years so must grab da opportunity to watch it whether LIVE or on TV..
Da host for Pesta Perdana was none other than Suhaimi Yusof. Another versatile Mediacorp Artiste who can sing, act (in a comedy role), dance and host. Da other 2 co-hosts (only backstage) were Nurhuda Ali and this radio dj from ria fm.
Here are da list of winners and my comments:
BEST YOUNG STAR: Nur Habriyah Md. Nasir.
I have no doubts about this. All kids look cute anyway. She won this for da second time in a row.
BEST NEWCOMER – HOSTING: Shah Iskandar.
I was glad he won..
BEST NEWCOMER – ACTING: Fauzie Laily
Well, I was quite surprised myself. My choice was Fadhilah Samsudin or Haizad Imram. But its OK.. Fauzie's acting not bad too.
BEST LEAD ACTOR: Rafaat Hamzah
I guess he deserved it. Good choice anyway. *shakes booties* >> Aaron Aziz didnt win this category.
BEST LEAD ACTRESS: Era Farida
Thank God Era won! If it was Nurul Aini, I would end up bashing da panels of jury. I couldnt believe she was nominated twice for da same category, one for Cinta Q, one for Garisan Takdir. Finally, they decided to give the trophy to Era Farida. She deserved it anyway cause her acting's real good.
BEST ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE: Suzairhe Sumari
I partly think he should get the award. It was either him or Khairudin Samsudin. His acting okaylah...not really the best though.
BEST ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE: Mastura Ahmad
Another great actress who deserved the award too.
BEST ACTOR/ACTRESS IN A COMEDY ROLE: Ahmad Stokin
He's fine. This had tough competition anyway. But I just dun understand why Norfasarie was nominated for this category!!! She wasnt even a comedian and her acting for that drama and that role wasnt even funny at all.
BEST HOST: Suhaimi Yusof
Durh. Currently one of the most comedic and favourite hosts around.
BEST DRAMA SERIES: Dian 3
Didnt really watch Dian 3 coz I always wasnt home - out for class. So I cant really comment if da drama's great or not.
BEST DRAMA SPECIAL: Buah Korma Air Zam Zam
No further comments.
BEST VARIETY SERIES: Popumentari
No Comment. But I felt that Najib Ali should have won this for Gemilang instead.
BEST VARIETY SPECIAL: Pesta! Pesta! Pesta!
It was either this or Muzika Extravaganza.
(I'm skipping some of the awards)
BEST THEME SONG: Cinta Q
I Love the song.
MOST POPULAR MALE PERSONALITY: Taufik Batisah
HE WON!!! YEAH!! But before Pesta Perdana, there was one artist who didnt named himself wrote abt his unsatisfaction. He asked why Taufik was nominated for this category
(he knew that if Taufik was nominated, Taufik will definitely win). A spokesman for Pesta Perdana replied to him that any artist can be nominated in da most popular personality as long as da artist is a malay. So, what is wrong with that?
*again shaking my booties* >> Aaron Aziz didnt win for this category this year!!! LoL. Sorry to fans of Aaron, no offence k.. but I just feel that other artiste should be given a chance la. Sumtimes I can find it bored if da same person won da same award almost every year.
MOST POPULAR FEMALE PERSONALITY: Era Farida
YEAH! She deserved it too...
25th February
As usual in da morning, instead of mandarin lessons, I went ahead with tuition. I cancelled da mandarin lesson and called up da parent to have an earlier tuition.
After that, I head down all da way from Boon Lay MRT to City Hall MRT to meet up with my penpals friends. Alice, from Malaysia will be arriving there first. Yup, she was there, waiting for me and we had lunch at Burger King - Marina Square. While havng lunch, Muneerah came and soon Dira. then 4 of us just walked around Marina Square and then to Suntec City. Dira and I stopped at Fox shop at Suntec to window shop for clothes there. Guess who I saw? SHAH ISKANDAR!!! Da winner of Best Newcomer - Hosting!! OMG! He's hotter in person!! I wanted to approach him but I was shy la!!! However he noticed me and I smiled so he smiled too! Aw, that's sweet.
But still I regret.. Opportunity is there already but I blew it! That was da only time I can get da chance to take picture with him but damn I was just too shy to approach him. Dira kept insisting me not to be shy just approach him and take picture but no use! I have this stupid shyness in me!!! Argh!!!
Damn! There goes my chance. Then we continue to walk all da way to Burger King (again - but in suntec) this time to meet up with Hidayah.
We were being entertained by Hidayah and her cool stories abt her life, her work, her pple, her production, her friends etcetra...
Before we headed home, we took pictures.. Sorry, da pictures couldnt be shown here coz I didnt take them. I didnt have a digicam yet (soon ok soon, i will!). Da gals have a camera each and they took da pictures so da pictures with them. I am just waiting for them to upload da pics.. I have to wait patiently coz all of them are busy with their own work.
