Gal! Why didnt you tell me in the first place? I only realized it when I was browsing her myspace profile and I happen to stumble upon BY DEFINITION in her myspace friend list! I smsed her asking her whether she supports By Def too and this was what I got as an answer....


Seri: Hehe.. They are my brothers.. Good friend of mine for years...
Me: Oh! Wow! Thats great. Tell them I say Hi and should u wanna meet them to hangout or whatever, can u inform me pls.. I wanna meet them ah.. Heehe..

Seri: Sure! NO problem babe! I can just dial their number now!! Hahaha. Btw, the drummer is Yanto's elder brother.

Note: Yanto is a secondary school friend of mine, Seri's ex-boyfriend.

Me: Hardy?! Oh.. No wonder lah when I look at him and really concentrate on his looks, I said to myself, "He looks like Yanto.. are they related?" Rupa-rupanya they are brothers!

Seri: Heh. The wife kan from Sugarettes.

Similarites among TAUFIK, HADY and FENDI...

-ALL are MALAYS and they are the winners of a singing competition

- Their their competitors, are male and a Chinese..

-ALL of them have excellent vocals and stage presence

-ALL of them are Mummy's boys... hence maybe thats an additional reason why Singaporeans voted for them.


CONGRATULATIONS to FENDI and BY DEFINITION for clinching the LIVE THE DREAM SOLO WINNER and GROUP WINNER respectively.

Revalina.. u guys were great on stage that day.. Thanks for singing "Your Guardian Angel". You make me smile in front of the TV. *I cant wait for the encore...*

P/S: Remember I told you that I sumhow bump into Ross of Revalina on Tuesday? I have Az's and Naza's friendster. I told one of them about it via friendster comment. I received the following reply as a friendster comment.

"elo elo! selamat hari raya to u too!!
wah! lain kali approach je ross... he very frenly!:)
Revalina gonna appear twice for the finale. one song a medley and another a group event!
watch out for us!! :D "

If you are in my friendster list.. go ahead and find out which Revalina members gave me that comment. *winkz*

Additional Note: This time, I noticed Reno of By Defintion outside Raffles Place MRT. He too was with a lady.. Hmm...

Amyria pours her heart out @ 11:39 pm   |

For the first time, I felt how the fans felt when their favs are OUT of a certain competition.

FRUSTRATED! WHAT THE CRAP!

I voted for Taufik to be in the Finals in Singapore Idol 1 - He was! I voted for Khairil Yusof and Fauzie Laily to be in the Finals in Anugerah 2005 - They were! I voted for Hady Mirza to be in Finals in Singapore Idol 2 - He was! I voted for Aliff Aziz to be in the Finals in Anugerah 2007 - He was! I voted for Fendi, By Def and Revalina to be in the Finals - Fendi IN, By Def IN

BUT . . . . .

R E V A L I N A = OUT?!!! NO!!! ARGH!!

Wasted! All my votes for Revalina wasted! They didnt get to the FINALS.. I went argh!!!! I was like wanting to bang my head against the wall!

I had this mixed feeling.. I read from sumwhere, that if ever By Def not in the finals, the fans will stop watching LIVE THE DREAM. Just like a few friends of mine.. When their favs (B.A.R.B, Alan Shamungam, Robert and Olynn) were out, they had stopped watching the show and not interested to know what was happening in LIVE THE DREAM.

So, my mixed feeling was, shall I stop watching? Shall I just continue since By Def and Fendi are in... After much thoughts, I have to understand that all these are parts and parcels of a competition. So, I shall go for the latter. I am watching the finals of LIVE THE DREAM and if u happen to read this....

VOTE FOR FENDI (SOLO) and BY DEFINITION (GROUP) ON 24TH OCTOBER 2007, that is TOMORROW!!!

P/S: Surprisingly for both the soloists, Fendi and Victor.. both of them were from the wildcard round! And as usual, no ladies in the finals.. *eyes rolling*

To Revalina, if you happen to read this.. U are still a winner in the eyes of ur fans.. =)
Note: Ross (Revalina) I saw you today at Burger King Raffles Plc MRT. =) Sorry I didnt approach you. Too shy lah as you were with a lady.. See you on TV tomorrow! =D



I saw him today. *BIG GRINZ*

1) 15 October - Its my leave..my WISH

A non-muslim colleague asked me on 15th October bersamaan 3 Syawal, "MBS, u neva take leave today for raya?"

Duhz.. Why SHE WANNA KNOW?! SHE'S NOT A HR! THE HR PERSON NEVA CALL AND ASK ME.

But not to be rude, I answered nicely, "No!" Then.. Aiyoh! This was what I hate it... PLEASE LAH IF I NEVA TAKE LEAVE SINCE SEPTEMBER DONT ANY HOW ASSUME I DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE LEAVES!

She assumed, "NO MORE LEAVE ALREADY AH?"

"NO! I STILL HAVE A LOT OF LEAVE (exaggerate abit ah to frustrate her) AND DUN ASK ME WHEN TO CLEAR MY LEAVE..ITS MY LEAVE..MY WISH WHEN TO TAKE AND WHEN NOT TO TAKE."

Colleagues around me looked at me with a "wah MBS dah berani" look. That particular colleague (she ah very kepo one lah every thing wana know - remember an entry about she thought I was late but in actual fact I went to the bank and she exclaimed, "Like real only..." I am referring to the same person!) kept quiet..

No more interrogated questions from her..

PLEASE LAH.. EVEN IF YOU WANNA BE KEPO, SET SOME LIMITS LAH! TAKING LEAVE OR NOT TAKING LEAVE ITS PERSONAL MATTER OK?!

2) 16 October 2007 - DO I LOOK FAT? DO I LOOK LIKE PREGNANT?

I was on my way home from work. As usual, the mrt is crowded with people. There wasnt any place to sit. I stand. I always stand while I was in the train. I was standing in front of this lady who sat down and above her was the notice, "Please give this seat to the person who needs it more than you do."

She kept looking at me. I dun bother la as long as she doesnt create trouble. Then, she stood up and offer me the seat. I was shocked and surprised and I rejected the offer. I told her, "No, its OK. Thanks. Y dun u sit.." However, she was persistant to offer me that seat. I still do not wish to sit down.

Then, she dropped the bombshell. "U're PREGNANT rite? Thats why I offer the seat to you." (and there were a few pple heard that!)

DO U KNOW HOW I FELT WHEN SHE SAID THAT?! AKU NI GEMUK SANGAT KER?! And the dress I wore... For the first time, I would like to try to wear a dress anyway that dress is the trend nowadays AND YET pple say I AM PREGNANT?

Look at this picture and judge yourself: DO I LOOK LIKE A PREGNANT WOMAN ? Oh, btw.. I answered her, "No..I am not pregnant.. How can I be when I am not even married yet?!" She made me embarassed in front of the passengers with her perception that I was pregnant so to be fair, I also made her embarrased with that answer of mine. In the end, she return to her seat and apologized.

Back home, I related to my mum and grandma. My mum told me, "Pple give u seat, just sit la!"

My grandma has no other comments. My younger sis overheard it and she exclaimed, "Next time just sit and say this,'Thanks for offering me the seat but for ur info, I am not pregnant."

Now I do not know whether I look nice or like a pregnant woman in that dress. Mind you, I have 2 more of that kinda dress. Sesekali tu tukarlah imeg pakaian.. takkan takmau upgrade.. then bila dah nak tukar imej >> pregnant?!! Sighz...

3)17 October - CFL

I bumped into CFL, my ex-colleague from Donaldson who left in March 2007 to have a fresh start in RODYK & DAVIDSON LLP. I do not know if her initials is the same in Rodyk.

We had a chat and I popped out this question. (dun worry, she did not suspect anything)

Me: There's a guy name XXXXXX doing Patents right?

CFL: XXXXXX? Yeah. There is. He's friendly, approachable. He has a sister working at the same place also.

CFL, u dun have to tell me.. I know.. Hahaha...

CFL: He said, his sisters played violin in an orchestra... I nodded..

I know lah CFL.. but I didnt tell her that.. I only say it silently in my heart.

CFL: He look very young like ur age like that..

Me: (WHAT?! My age?! Hahaha.. If he's my age, what about his sisters then?) Oh.. How u know he's around my age?

CFL: From the way he dress, I can tell.

Me: I see . . . .

Change topic

Me: So, hows work there? More stress? Less stress?

CFL: Ok ah.. There more relax. I deal with less deadlines. Here (Donaldson) aiyoh deadline here deadline there. Me: I see. Then u do Patent or Trademark? Or both over there?

CFL: I do trade marks only. Here (Donaldson) when I got promoted to be secretary to CEL, and I have to do both trade mark and patent.Aiyah.... I headache u know when I have to do patent.

Me: Ooh.. U ask to be put to Trademarks?

CFL: No lah.. Up to the management. I'm lucky that I am given trademarks.

Me: Got any vacancy?

CFL: Dun know leh. U write in lah. Last time, me and SM (MK's secretary) write in for fun. Then I got called in by them. U try lah.

Pause.

Me: Over there, is ur position secretary same like here?

CFL: No. My work is not like a secretary. I dun report to lawyers. I do like what u do ah clerical work but they dun call the designation as clerk. They call it support staff.

Me: So is like support staffs? Secretarial support la the name they call it to make it nice..

CFL: Something like that.

CFL: How much Donaldson pay u?

Me: (was reluctant at first to say it) err..

CFL: Aiyah.. u dun err err lah.. U dun know ah.. Donaldson staff cannot keep secret one. This person get this kind of pay, they know.. That person get higher pay that this person, they also know. Thats why got backstabbing until involve rice bowl. If they find out ur pay more than them ah.. abis lah they will make sure u dun stay long in donaldson..

Me: REALLY? THAT BAD?!

CFL: It happened many times. Not to me to some other colleagues. That's why I leave there before who knows, the same thing can happen to me.

Me: Ohh..CFL: So how much Donaldson pay u? Dun worry lah.. I no longer in donaldson. I dun keep in touch with them also. Sumtimes bump into them, then we chit chat lah normal chit chat like u and me right now.

Me: Ok.. $1600. (I cant possibly say $1650)CFL: Ok what.. not bad. If u write in to any law firm like there (Rodyk), Drew, A & G, Lee & Lee or any big law firms out there ah, u can ask for higher pay. Market price leh..

Me: Oh. I thought too steep for some companies.

CFL: No lah.. other companies in other lines, yes they may find it high but if other companies like law firm, they dun find it high.

Me: (nodded) Ok.. I shall try. (smile at her)

End of conversation.

Sumhow for the first time, I do not have the mood to celebrate Raya. This year, I celebrate Raya without the presence of my grandfather because he has passed away last year. I thought things will be smoother for my family after he left this world. To thing, it gotten worse.

My step dad still treat my grandmother like a stranger. My grandmother got scared or uncomfortable whenever he's around. My grandmother kept repeating, "If only you are already 30++ yrs old, u can buy a house and leave this place." So I also stress myself. I recalled that I personally called a HDB customer representative a few months back whether it is possible for sumone of my age to apply a house. According to the representative, age 21 and above, can apply the house but has to bring an elderly along. If 30 or 35 and above, can apply the house and lived alone. Hmm, I am qualified for the first requirement however, I need to be financially stable first..

Remember the fraud thing? Because of that, I am ALWAYS BROKE.. I confessed I borrowed $$ from friends because I do not have enuff to pay my sch fees. Of coz, I pay them back the following month. I am still broke despite borrowing from friends.. Sighz..

I even resorted to take the EZCash Loan. The rule for taking up the loan, 21 and above earn more than $1600. I hit the requirement but a friend of mine wish to take up the loan before and though she was already 22, should she need a loan of up to $6000, she would need to have a gurantor who is above 24 yrs old earning more than $1600, because she wasnt 24 yrs old yet.

I took up the loan. I know. I havent reached 24 when I took up the loan because I took it in August and I will be officially 24 on 7th December. I can wait after 7th December for the loan but I insist on the loan and asked a few of my friends who are already 24 and earned higher than $1600 to be a gurantor for me. None want to take the risk. I understood their fear and problem so I called the customer care of GECash if it would be possible for me to take up the loan without a gurantor. I was given the approval that I am permitted to take up the loan but only up to $3000.

Although the amount sounds little, I agreed still. Why do I desperately need a loan that bad? Because of the fraud thing. I used my grandma's and mum's money in order to "get my winnings". I felt guilty. So, I took up the loan just to repay them and I know the amount STILL not enuff. I actually need, about $1500 more! Only my mum knows that I took up the loan but I told her NOT to inform my grandma about it as I do not want my grandma to worry. My grandma had advised me not to take hasty decision especially when it comes to financial stuffs. Its not that I am disobedient. Ajal maut tiada siapa yg tau. Life is unpredictable. I do not want the same thing happen again. My late grandfather gave me the sum of $12500 for me to further my studies. That sum of money, was for downpayment. I promised that I will return him the money when I have a stable job. I havent even worked in Donaldson for a yr and he has left this world without waiting for me to repay my debts to him. Who knows, one fine day.. my grandma too left this world without waiting for me to repay my debts to her? So, I have to act urgently on this and just took up the loan to repay her.

And because of the loan, I am in debt! I have another $1500 left to repay both my mum and my grandma, the monthly instalments of the GECAsh. Guess what? for almost 3 months, I have not been paying my school fees! Yes! I had explain to the school but the school allows me to PAY THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT before my Jan exam! Otherwise, I cant take the exam, which means... I cant gRAduaTE!!! Debts! Debts! Debts!

That was why I had no mood to celebrate Raya. Oh, I bought a pair of baju kurung for raya. It is black in colour designed with green and yellow flowers. I didnt even wear that for raya. Not even on 1st day or 2nd day of raya. Although I would like to have a black outfit for this year's raya, I didnt have the mood to wear black for this year's raya la. So, I wore my mum's baju kurung for this year's 1st day and 2nd day. Yeah, I can fit her size. *who says I am fat?! I am not fat! My mum's slim and I can fit her clothes! :P*

Btw, for the first time and for every year on Hari Raya onwards, my family would visit the Muslim Cemetary first thing in the morning every Raya. Yestday, we went there. We recite doas for my late grandfather. Tears went down my cheeks. I cant help to stop the emotioness in me. I recalled of what happen almost a year ago. I WASNT THERE WHEN HE CALLED OUT EVERYONES' NAME before HE HELD HIS LAST BREATHE..I WASNT THERE. . . . My late grandfather tak sempat tgk aku for the last time. The same goes for me. The moment we reached kubur my arwah grandfather, my step dad recite the surah Yasin. I said silently to my heart (I know it may sounds crazy but I dun care..), "Grandpa.. I am here. Ur granddaughter is here. Granny send her regards, she cant be here because she has to welcome guests. I came to recite doas for you biar roh atuk dicucuri rahmat (I have no idea how to translate this in english). Grandpa, today is raya. I would like to seek forgiveness to you should I commit any mistakes in the past when you were alive. Harap murah kan rezeki Maria dan halalkan makan dan minum. I love you, grandfather." After I said that to my heart, I recite Al-Fateha doa. (As I was writing this, I cried..I'm sure if you happen to read this.. you may cry too..)

Sorry for being too emotional... K, to avoid being too emotional for this blog, lets enlighten you with photos I took for raya today and yesterday.. Mohd Haziq Danial, my step step nephew (because his dad is my step dad's nephew) so adorable!! so cute!!! =) So are Muhd Amirul Syafiq and Muhd Amirul Syahril or Syahid? (the mother of both syafiq and syahril/syahid is my step dad's niece). Pictures of Nurasha Sukrina (my step step niece as her father is the nephew of my step father - the nephew of my step dad and the mother of Syafiq/Syahid are cousins), since she was there so her pics will also be posted here.. How adorable! :D

Enjoy the pics pple and sempena hari raya ini, I would like to seek your forgiveness should any of my rantings or entries in my blog tend to be too abusive, too bland or whatever lah that it sumhow upsets you.. I hope you can forgive me.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!!

Amyria pours her heart out @ 10:23 pm   |

Today is 11th October 2007. Today marks my 1 yr anniversary joining the Hady Mirza Fan club also known as HapyHadys FC. Reason why I joined a fan club. Its pretty obvious! I LOVE AND SUPPORT HADY MIRZA.. When I mean LOVE, its love from a fan to an idol. Not more than that.. *dun get some mushy-mushy ideas k, nanti the four "wives" of Hady Mirza serang me tau! ;)* Wait.. now left "one" hehee.

Because of my love, admiration and support for Hady Mirza, I become a member HapyHadys officially as of 11th October 2006. I know I was kinda late to join; Hady Mirza was declare winner of Singapore Idol season 2 on 25th September 2006 and on 26th September 2006, the Fan Club was born. :)

On 14th Oct 2006, there was a Hype Up Roadshow. I didnt go there with HapyHadys as I was still new, although it did stated in the forum, that the HapyHadys can meet and together they shout for Hady. I know HapyHadys were present when Hady mentioned, ".... and to the HapyHadys.." and he waved at them. When I heard Hady mentioned HapyHadys, I said to Dira, who went with me, "Hey...he mention HapyHadys! His fan club! That means, I am one of them! But he didnt wave at our direction, he waved at the other direction." (pointing to that direction) Dira smiled.

Although I discover about the FC late, hey, its never too late to join the FC! Better late than never. I met quite a number of joyful, cheerful and fun HapyHadys. The first time I met a few HapyHadys was on 4th November 2006. There was this Manja autograph session. Hady was there for the autograph session. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I MEET HIM FACE TO FACE!! I still remember vividly, when it was about my turn to have his autograph, I wanted to faint coz he was so damn dashing when he gave me that infectious smile of his. Drooling man!!! Oh, he was adorably cute too.. He sang the song Maria Maria by carlos Santana in one of the Singapore idol piano rounds, I assume he knows how to spell my name and yet, he could still asked, "How do I spell ur name?" Neva mind la, Hady.. for ur sake, I spell my name for u. I spelt out for him: M A R I A. Was so engrossed with his sweet baby face of his that it slipped off my mind to say this to him, "I am Amy Maria. Its A M Y M A R I A. The gal, who gave u the navy blue t-shirt with the words, GET ME OUT OF THE BALL PARK. at the Hype Up Rdshow at Jurong Point on 14th October." :D But its OK. He calls me Amy in the forum. *shakes booty*. Aiyah. Whether he calls me Amy or Amyria or Maria...he is still referring to me....

Then after the Manja autograph session, the same HapyHadys except one or two went off to sumwhere in Ang Mo Kio to catch Hady's performance.

After that day, I began to hook up more to the forum. One day neva log in to the forum to me is like 1 yr! Haha.. Get to know more pple. Get to pantun (although my pantun sungguh lah karat ) in the forum. On 24th November 2006, was the day I went for the gathering. I was overwhelmed by the number of HapyHadys attending. I was really surprised that although they came from all over Singapore, and they do not know one another, they're very sociable and friendly with one another. Me? I admit that I wasnt that sociable but that does not mean I am unfriendly or sombong. I still smile and talk. If u know me more as in always meet up everyday (like being in same school, same class, or being colleagues), then u will see the other chirpy, talkative and social side of me. :) That explains why my blog entries are pretty long-winded...coz I "talk" too much. Heh.

The only thing I felt uneasy was, 24th November 2006 falls on the same week, my grandfather passed away. I was having this mixed feelings. Half of me wanting to go straight home after work to accompany my grandmother, half of me wanting to go and have fun and meet more pple. I decided for the latter and I promised my grandmother that I'll be back home before 12 midnite.
Which I did! According to my wrist watch, it was 11.57.59 PM, but according to the clock on the wall, its 12.02 AM!! Late by 2 mins and she nagged and nagged and nagged. Her nagging is not the normal nagging ok, her nagging sumtimes can be abusive coz she hurled abusive words like, err, "Kau nak jadi perempuan sial ker balik sampai 12 mlm! blah blah blah!" Nasib baik tak turn into a pumpkin, like the fairy tale in Cinderella!

// Well, its my fault too. I should have took a cab. On that day, I didnt bring much cash with me, I only have like $14 and I dun think its enuff for a cab ride from Punggol to clementi. I tried to find for an ATM machine, no ATM machine anywhere nearby. I know I should withdraw some cash before going to the gathering. Hey, it didnt occur to me that I'll be late. //

I am already accustomed to her naggings. Biarkan ajer.. Org tua is like that.. But sumhow I envy some girls.. their grandparents and/or parents really give them the freedom and as long as they are back home the next morning, is fine. Sum of my gal friends did went home at 4 plus in the morning.. Takde ape2 pun! Tak kena marah tak kena maki.. How I wish I can be like them. Well, just to experience how it feels like to be home at the wee hours in the morning.. I know that impossible. Just look at my situation. I reached home at the stroke of midnite, dah kena maki hamun. *shakes head*

Because I reached home at 11.57.59 PM that day, (but to my grandmother, its 2 mins past 12 midnite,) she grounded me! (she still treat me like a small kid - to her, I am always a small kid in her eyes!) NO MORE HADY for the next two to three weeks! :( Thats explains why I wasnt there during Hady's album showcase at MOS on 2nd December, and on LIME Birthday Bash on the 10th December. :'(

P/S: I wasted $15 for the stamp collection of Hady. Coz in order to get free passes to MOs, we have to present the album plus the stamp we bought from Singapore post. Its OK..I buy anything for the sake of Hady. :D

But that didnt deter me for being inactive as a HapyHady! I still log in to the forum to find out the reviews from different HapyHadys about the MOS showcase, LIME Birthday bash etcetra. While reading the reviews, I was like, "Argh.. How I wish I am allowed to be there. If only I could turn back time."

Hady's 27th birthday was on 28th January 2007. The HapyHadys planned to celebrate a special birthday for him. Rehearsals had started in December 2006. Although, the three week groundment is up, I am unable to attend.. Reason: My exams. My exams are always in the month of January, May and September. So in December, I have to be prepared for my exams. So I didnt make myself present for the rehearsals, although I know the wordings to the song. :D I was told should I decided to attend, I have to memorize the lyrics by hard. Heh.

There were 2 rehearsals. One in December and the other in early January and the real birthday bash for Hady was on 3rd February 2007. I have already make myself absent for the first rehearsal. When I read from the forum that ehem Ad's brother will be attending the second rehearsal, I really, really wanna go but too bad I cant coz my exams was just the following week. What timing.. Its OK.. I always bump into him at Raffles Place.. That was before knowing he's Ad's brother. After I found out that he's Ad's bro, I hope that every Mon to Fri I get to bump into him. Haha.. Which it frequently does happens. :D Oopsie.. dun talk much abt that la.. *winkz*. Let's continue...

For almost 2 months, didnt get to see Hady.. I finally get to see him on 2nd February 2007. I managed to answer the question post at the forum correctly and got myself a free ticket (worth $20 each) for Sinaran Hati. Not many HapyHadys attended. Of coz, there were these 3 guys who are always present >> Ant, Seth and Fikq, SV, Kak Nora, myself and Zarifah (think so, thats her name - her username in forum is caramel). Because I have to rush home (as usual la), I didnt get to take a group pic of Hady and the HapyHadys who attended the Sinaran Hati. :( sumtimes having ur nenek staying with you can be annoying but for my case it is forever annoying coz my grandmother has been taking care of me since I was 14 days old, so the bond is there, cant help it....

The next day was 3rd February >> the date set for the Birthday bash celebration of Hady Mirza. Unfortunately, I didnt register myself for the bash, which the date line was on 26th January 2007 (I think). Because the parent of the student I tutored actually scheduled the tuition on 3rd February and on 30th January, the parent called to postpone the tuition to Sunday, 4th February! DO U KNOW how hearthbroken I was when I received that news! No, not becoz I cant teach tuition on that day... Because I have to teach tuition on that day, that I forego my chance to celebrate my idol's first birthday bash celebration with his fans.. Most of his fans were there except for me! I almost wanna break down and cry... But what's done cannot be undone. Lucky, I attended Sinaran Hati, the day before.. and I pass the present to Ant to pass to Hady on 3rd February.. :) (which I bought at the 11th hour)

On the actual birthday bash, I couldnt even concentrate on the things I do. I kept pacing up and down like a worried person. My grandmother was baffled with my behaviour but she didnt ask. Lucky, my two younger siblings werent around. If not, they will sure keep asking me questions why I was pacing up and down.. My parents were working.. So while pacing up and down, I kept looking at the time. I was waiting for night time coz by night time, each and every HapyHady who were present would post reviews, videos, and pics..in the forum. Thanks Zohrah (Ziggy Zesto) for the pics..u know which pics I am referring to..not pics of Hady but the pics of [u know who lah] that u took and gladly pass the pics to me. Thank u... (although it was taken from afar..nvm.. asalkan ada.. Hahaha.. *winkz*) Thanks to adik Yuma and Yaseer for the pics too (Hady's pics..)

On 24th March 2007, Hady was the judge for TEEN STAR organized by South West CDC. Of coz, when there's Hady.. there's HAPYHADYS.. I cant be there. Donaldson had their annual Dinner and Dance and since I neva experience how was it like to be in Dinner and Dance, I decided to attend my company's dinner and dance instead. What timing! The HapyHadys were having fun cheering not for Hady but to the contestants.. The winner is the younger sister of Aliff Aziz. Aliff Aziz won second. Later on, Aliff Aziz participated in Anugerah 2007 and emerged Champion. *thumbsup*

6th April 2007 - Muzika Extravanganza featuring both Singapore and Malaysia artiste. For the second time, I went to MediaCorp studios to watch the program LIVE. While waiting at the reception, one of the HapyHadys caught a glimpse of Aliff (after he won Teen Star, before participating in Anugerah). He seemed a friendly chap. We took a group pic with him. Yes, I was in the pic but since I had not own a digicam yet, I cant post the pic here. The pic was taken with one of the HapyHadys' (I dun know whose) digicam.

We were the limelight during the show! At 8pm ++ (before the show, which started at 8.30pm LIVE from Suria), we sumhow caught a glimpse of Hady and one of us, gave a HUGE scream! Then, everyone looked at our area. Hahaaha.. We stole the limelight. Then the man (a DJ from Warna or Ria?) who was the voice-over for any Suria LIVE program mentioned something and we understood it and said sumthing like, "Boleh.." Then the guy commented, "Pandai HapyHadys.." (he saw the banner we hanged at the MediaCorp). Upon hearing he mentioned our fanclub name, we clapped and as usual, screams la! Woo-hoo! We're as popular as Hady man!

My mum saw my face on TV for Sinaran Hati. For Muzika Exstravanganza, she saw me too! Hahaha.. An online buddy of mine, Nuly Blaze (her name in friendster) dropped me a message via friendster informing me that she kinda saw me twice in TV. Hahaha.. If my mum saw me in both programs, so Nuly was right! She did saw me in TV. When I watched the encore telecast, I can only witness that I saw myself on TV in Sinaran Hati but I cant see myself on TV in Muzika Exstravanganza! *how come?*

1st May 2007 - Keep the Heritage Alive! It took me two weeks to persuade my grandma to go for this one coz I have to pay $25 for the event. $25 to see 3 guys >> worth it! 3 guys: The host, Suhaimi Yusof, the performers: Hady Mirza and Taufik Batisah! So almost near the closing date to make the payment, I send an email telling the admins and the mods that I was going to the event and will make the payment required.

Both Taufik and Hady looked HOT! HOT! HOT! Both of them didnt really button their shirts.. *evil smile* and that makes them MORE HOT!!! and HUNKY!! Congratulations for Zohrah winning the second prize. Taufik call for the number, Hady passed her the prize. She got to take a pic with both the idols. How I envy you! My number miss lah if not, I would also get my chance..

P/S: Err, although I am in the fanclub, I neva have the opportunity to have a solo pic taken with me and Hady.. Its OK. My time will come in the future.. :D

On 27th May 2007, we have our second gathering but this time is abit sporty. Yes. The gathering was more known as: Street Soccer Cum Badminton. Place? Very near to Red Hill MRT! Just 2 to 3 mins walk away! Did I attend? Duhz.. No! Reason as usual: Have to teach tuition but as usual.. TUITION CANCELLED! The student was sick so the mother called me to cancel the tuition! ARgh!! Grr!!! Why didnt tell me earlier?!

17th June 2007, there was this Splash of Colours Family Day carnival at Singapore Discovery Centre. 3 idols were there for the event: Taufik, Jonathan and Hady. Didnt go for Taufik's as his was scheduled in the morning at about 9am. 9am!! Why so early?!! So we went for Jonathan's and Hady's instead. As usual, when we saw Hady coming to the stage, we were screaming and shouting and cheering loudly for H A D Y. He looked cute la in that beanie cap. :D

23rd June 2007 : Exemplary Mothers' Award 2007 at Hotel Rendevous. (Or was it at Hotel Ritz Carlton?). I had a mixed feeling whether to attend this event or not. Because the price: $70! Rather steep for me to fork out just to watch my idols, Hady Mirza and Taufik Batisah. Sighz.. So I have to disappoint myself and didnt attend for that event.

30th September 2007 - President Star Charity. The HapyHadys went to MediaCorp to catch it LIVE because HADY will be performing a segment on SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER along with another idol of mine... DAREN TAN!! Hady in turquise blue and Daren in my fav colour: RED! The only disappointment is, I believe Daren was lip-synching. Hady, as usual was spectacular! He did a great rendition of "You keep me dancing"? Was that the song?

On 6th October 2007, like I'd mentioned previously, went to the LIVE THE DREAM Jurong Point Rdshow with 3 to 4 HapyHadys.. Hey, we may be HapyHadys but that do not mean that we only support Hady.. We support some guys as well.. *winkz* (ARGH!! REVALINA OUT?! ROSS!! I cant get to see u in tv now..)

So thats basically my 1 yr journey as a HapyHady.. Though, I didnt participate in most events, the memories will never be erase from my memory. I also have to promise myself to attend any Hady's events and/or HapyHadys gathering. I know, life is unpredictable. I do not know what will happen in the near future. If I promise I will go to every single event, then sudenly at the last min, something came up, I cant attend... How.. ? So, the best thing is not to make any promises for now. If there's an event, I will check with my schedule and state my availability.

On 6th Oct, I went for my first roadshow for LIVE THE DREAM at Jurong Point. Kinda surprised to see that by 1.30 pm, NO CROWD! Wow! I very 'kiasu' come very early as early as 1.30 pm (though the roadshow - Meet and Greet - starts at 3pm) to secure front view! To think no one in the crowd! Thats weird.. Hmm, I guess its just LIVE THE DREAM and the dreamers (the contestants) do not really attract the young crowd unlike SINGAPORE IDOL, ANUGERAH and PROJECT SUPERSTAR. Huh, I tell u, if for the Singapore Idol, Anugerah or Project Superstar roadshow, definitely by 1.30 pm, CROWDED.. Cant secure FRONT VIEW access! HAhaha.. So consider the fans who went to support the dreamers were VERY LUCKY to get close up view and pics of their favourites!
The HapyHadys who went there :- myself, SV, Nis, Kak Rinie and kids and Zul. However because Zul did not want to be the "centre of attention" (maybe he lived around there and pple might recognize him), he didnt approach us. He only mentioned in the HapyHadys forum that he saw us =)

So who do I support? I have no position to mention who I support coz 3 of the contestants (2 groups + 1 soloist) are my favourites. Well, for the soloist (since they want 1 winner), I have the position to say that I SUPPORT FENDI!! GO FENDI!

As for the groups, since LIVE THE DREAM can only have 1 group winner, I have to support 2 of my fav groups and vote EQUALLY. This means, may the best group wins.. =) and my favourite groups are (in no particular preferances)

R E V A L I N A!!

and

BY DEFINITION!!

Pics? Yup, I have them. Guess what? The fans got to take a picture with ALL the DREAMERS. Yes, not our particular favourites but ALL. So all of us (except Zul - since he didnt approach us, he was at Level 2), got the chance to take pics!

I was very excited and my heart beating. I wanted to go and search for ehem ASH (the lead singer of BY DEFINITION) to stand next to him for a picture but somehow I was err.. attracted to the 3 guys of Revalina who smiled at me when I walked up on the stage.. *blush* So, what the heck, I'll just stand next to REVALINA.. Hmm, the lead singer of Revalina (Naza) is a bit shorter than me! coz I stood very close to him think I can feel his shoulder touching against mine, *eyes wide open* (yeah, that close! Teehee.. but I prefer Ash la! *sad*) at the photo taking session. After the photo taking session, Naza smiled at me again and said, "Thank You." Confirm! He is a bit shorter than me. His head was at my tip of my ear.. Ssshhh.... Oh, did I say anything to him? Err, apparently when he said "Thank you", I was lost for words.. Dun know what to say! Hahahah.. Lain lah kalau Hady!! *rolling on the floor, laughing*

I have to end here now. I will share only a few pics of LIVE THE DREAM roadshow. Cannot show ALL..I have like err, 100 over?! Hahaha..

Enjoy..

BY DEFINITION!!

FENDI and REVALINA!

CAN YOU SPOT ME IN THIS PICTURE?! I AM STANDING VERY CLOSE TO NAZA of REVALINA.. Fans of Revalina.. dun give me the disapproval look ok?! *tongue lashing*

This guy is kinda handsome too.. Heehe.. but Hady more handsome la!

Remember the TONG HUA (Fairy Tale) chinese song?

Take a listen to this malay version. This is the direct translation of the Tong Hua song! Yeah! Definitely! I know a bit of Mandarin here and there mah.... :p

Aliff Aziz - Cinta Arjuna (A Prince's Love)

The original song in chinese:

Guang Liang - Tong Hua (Fairy Tale)

Hmm...which version I prefer? Let see.. Err.. is there an English version? If there is, easy for me to make comparison! HAhaha...

P/S: When my mum listened to the chinese version of the song, she commented, "Ini kan lagu Aliff? Asal penyanyi cina ni amik?" I corrected her, "Mak.. Lagu Cina keluar dulu.. Aliff amik lagu ni untuk versi melayu.." *BIG GRIN* And my mum went, "Ooohh..."
