Mnet Asean Music Festival 2011 (MAMA)

MAMA is here!!! OK, it is not in MALAYSIA, but because Malaysia is a neighbour's of Singapore, we got the advantage of watching it from the local network (and it is important since I did not subscribe to ASTRO) boooo!!!! With the theme, Music Makes One, the show promise to include many singer from all over Asia (well most I can see is from China and Japan)

The show start with the performance by Simon D, YB and Diamond Duo, I think they sang two or three songs (one of it titled It's Burn) but in my opinion it quite dragging, probably because I did not know them very well. Then it continued with the performance from BEAST with their song Fiction. there is a break between the song where it filled with seductive and sexy dance between HyunA (4 Minute) and Gi Kwang ( BEAST, well actually I'm not quite sure myself!! Ho...ho...) The theme for their performance seems to be kind of Gothic style... well just imagine the scene from  Taeyang's "I'll Be There" and you get the picture!

Koda Kumi make the stage hotter with her songs Ai no Uta nd VIP... her clothes goes from ephemeral red to sexy black and gold.... her dance in VIP was so energetic and the scream was fuhh!!!!! Miss A give a great performance for their song Goodbye baby Goodbye. They mixed the Chinese martial art and fan dancing into their choreography. Kind of Washa!!!! You can go to hell Nappeun Namja (Bad Man).. well that basically the feeling I get...ha...ha..


Will.i.am (Black-Eyed Peas) graced the stage with the song "The Hardest Ever". Imagine there are 10 people dancing with the face of Will.i.am... OMG.. kind of like and alien since the face can only look to the front.. ha..ha.. truly futuristic human body with head like a TV screen!!! I don't know how they managed not to make the screen slipped!! He then continue with the song "They Can Be Anything" and the song that soared their name up (might be bias of me but I know them because of this song) , "Where is The Love" with Apl.de.ap and CL from 2NE1.


Ulala Session from the program Superstar K, sang the songs "Open Arm" and "Step by Step" and though the leader have a stage 4 stomach cancer, his dance movement was awesome.. and surprisingly, though this is the first time I hear the song, I love it. They mixed the song "Sorry Sorry" (Super Junior) and "Ring Ding Dong" (Shinee) in it... kind of funny, I guess. The last song which I can not catch up since I cannot read Hangul was also catchy.. I have to stalk this band later I guess!!!


"I Believe I Can Fly" by Zhang Liang Yin continue to make the stage hot by her perfomance. She also won the Best Asian Artist (China). It followed with the performance from Kim Hyun Joong with his song "Lucky Girl"... The HAWTNESSS!!!!!  For the Best Dance Performance (Female Group) they have a special performance to introduce the song which is cool.. sadly, I was unfamiliar with the singers who do the perfromance (So Sad)...... SNSD  start their performance in the segment called Girl become the goddesss (Which is in line with their song "The Boys", I guess) after a great performance of dancing (sadly they did not won the award) they perform "The Boys" both in Korea and English version. they do the english version in remix style... a fast remix style!!!!!


The stage continued to make the fan goes crazy with Super Junior in their segment Mr Super Clone entertained them with the song "Mr Simple" and their ever so-famous, "Sorry Sorry". 2NE1 performed the song "Lonely" (where they sing in a virtual glass cube, beautiful enough to look real, or is it a real one, urghh I don't know anymore), and "I'm the Best" in their Break Myself segment. What I really love about 2NE1 is that, even though they are not wearing revealing clothes they are still cool and the best.... really show girl power!!!


After the Best Group (female) award, Snoop Dog and Dr Dre carried the excitement to another level with their hip hopness (is this exist? this word, ha..ha.. whatever) before continue with Best Song Award which had been won by 2NE1's "I'm The Best" (Yoohoooo! naega chae cha la ga - really an appropriate song to win), Artist of The Year won by SNSD while Album of Year won by Super Junior with the album "Mr Simple". MAMA ends with the performance from DJ Koo and the winners of the Dance Relay Event.


There are many popular Korean actor/actress that MC-ing this award for examples, Song Seung Hun  (Autumn in My Heart), Park Si Yeon (My Girl), Song Joong Ki ( Sungkyungkwan Scandal), DJ Koo, Kang So Ra (Dr Champ) Cha Ji Heon (Protect The Boss) and Park Shin Hye.There are also people from Mnet America like Chrissa and PK




Below are the result for that night.... hu..hu... I got it from MNET official website ( there goes my disclaimer)

p/s I'm so sad that C.N Blue is not here... now I'm off to watch the Melon Award which I missed last week. can't wait for the Gayo Daejun!!!!

Shock at Government's Dental Clinic

(I solemnly swear that this is a true story and there is nothing but the truth)

Assalamualaikum….

Wow, I daresay this is an improvement. To be writing for two days in a row!!! Ha..Ha...

I don’t think there is anyone in this world that is not afraid to meet the dentist! I mean my mom confessed to me that she hates having toothache the most (is it possible for it to be worse than delivering a baby???) Anyway, to my roommate and compartments’ mates, you lot might remember right, how much I whine and whine cause I’m having a severe toothache during the exam period but too scaredy-cat to pluck the tooth out? (The ache was so severe that once it stated it wouldn’t stop!)  Anyway, I’m safely home and decided to meet the dentist, but I delayed it until this week. I confide my mom and I said to her that I wish that my teeth can be save and instead of pulling it out maybe I just need to go for a treatment (filling). As far as I know the treatment are far more expensive (My mom said that it is okay for her to pay for the treatment but I just can’t bring myself to do it) so I decided to do the deed at the government’s dental clinic.

My mom joked and asked me if I want her to accompany me to the clinic. I just scoffed and asked her whether she still think that I was a small child. Anyway, I went to the clinic around 11 A.M, and this is how it goes:

Me                  : Assalamualaikum, Emm… can I do filling treatment today?

Misi (Nurse) : I’m sorry but today are reserved for the patient with appointment. You can come

                         Tomorrow because it is an open day

Me                  : Oh… Ok. The counter is going to open from?

Misi (Nurse): We are going to open from 8 A.M.

So I went back with a heavy heart (hey, I took a lot of courage to go there) I told everything to my mom and she said that I have to be there by 7.30 A.M and I was like urgh... that’s too early! So on the next morning I arrived at the clinic 8 A.M sharp. After I parked, I went to the second floor and to my alarm, there are already too many people waiting for their turn… I was like, OMG since when did they waited for the counter to open????” I picked my number and it was 2017 (Okay don’t panic… it’s mean that I’m the 17^th person for that day). Surprisingly the majority of the patients are Chinese! (I’m not prejudiced but I thought they prefer a private establishment).

I waited and waited (I should have brought my new novel), after about an hour (and being tortured by Nabil who tried to act like Ne-Yo or Taeyang – No offense to Nabils’ fans) my number is been called. I went to the surgery room 2. After the procedures and blah...blah… she (Yes, it is a woman – freshly graduates I guess, she even wears heel! Man, does it not hurt your feet to be standing all days???)asked me several questions:

Dentist   :  During what time do you get the ache?

Me          : Pardon?

Dentist   : Is it in the morning or in the evening?

Me          : It depend, but once it got hurt, I’m suffering from it non-stop. I can prevent it

                 by doing filling, right?

Dentist   : If it is like that, the tooth may need to be pulled out.

Me          : *Gulp* ehh??? Which one of it?

The dentist begin a set of knocking the tooth while asking me to tell her which one that hurt the most and based on that she conclude that the third molar/wisdom tooth (which is really on the very back of my teeth) are going to be sacrificed. OMG, it’s going to be hurt (I speak from experience, even though it was done by my favorite dentist (he is not doing it anymore), it still hurt a bit) and I hate it, I tried to smile and asked her:

Me          : About my other tooth, it is okay for it to undergone the filling treatment?

Dentist   : Yes, I will set up an appointment for you but for now, I’m going to inject this

                 anesthesia, if it is hurting you, you can raise your hand.

This part is one of part that I hate the most. Sometime it hurt and sometime it is not. the only thing left for me to do is to do some zikr’, as she inject I began to zikr’ (in my heart of course - La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu, yoohi wa yoomitu,  wa la haula wa la quwwata illa billahil azeem.) and thanks to Allah S.A.W I did not feel any pain! After two injections she asked me to wait outside for the numb drug to take effect. I continued to zikr’ and pray to Allah S.W.T that everything is going to be okay. After a while she called me in, she asked me whether I feel numb, but I said I just feel a little bit of it, so she administered another injection.

The kind dentist told me to raise my hand if I feel any pain, I just nodded and smile but my heart feel like it going to burst any minute, I continue to zikr as the dentist begin to grind, plague, push my teeth and after a while, *Plop* out it goes……

………………..

EHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Why did I not feel anything at all??????????????????? I mean, it doesn’t hurt or anything!!!!!!!!!! And I’m telling you, no it is not because I feel numb. Why? Well I have this experience where I feel numb for half of my face but it still hurt like hell when the dentist pull it out, but not this time. I just sit there, feeling nothing (I assured you that my teeth are not rocking or in the verge of falling) and out the teeth goes. I was so shocked that I was in dazed when the assistant give me the cotton and the pills (painkiller). I went outside, paid one ringgit (for the services) gets into the car and off I go. I mean it is so anticlimax!!!!

Anyway, I’m really happy that the operation goes without a hitch. I am very thankful to Allah for letting me have this experience… Really a shock… but in a good way. And to that kind dentist, sorry that I didn’t catch your name but I’m really happy having you that day. I hope during the filling treatment, it is going to be the same… hopefully…

Momentos of that day (>,<)

Teacher's Jitters

Assalamualaikum to all (whoever read this)


Another 1 months and whatever days left of my holiday before I start my practicum... and mind you I already got a cold feet (well is not like I'm going to get marry, duh).. Well, truth to be told, I've been toying with the idea of quiting however considering the amount of money that I got to pay (and my family is not a millionaire) which nearly RM 1K, I guess life must go on.
Back to the story, from my observation, I think they might be some flaw in my training... well it goes like this:


1) I don't think that the stuff that I learn during the past 5 years and a half will help me much during the practicum since it is all about theory and such... (duh!)
2) And as far as I concerned, the last 4 months that my sisters (yoohoo girls) and I going to have next yeas will probably give more impact to ourselves and our outlook toward out profession than any other months that we have during our six-years of study (kind of ironic, isn't it?)


I already got this jitter but all my friend seems to be on the cool side (come on guys, so some pity on me) I don't know what to do, or what to say. Though everyone around me say that it is a normal things (my mom said: What are you getting afraid of??? Everyone is going to face the same thing..), can't you at least boost my confidence???


When I asked my Little bro' on how they treat the new teacher, he only say that he treat them like they usually do, however from the glint in his eyes I know that they kind of bullied the practicum's teacher... urgh!!!!!


Anyway let's leave that for now.. I hope time and gut will help me in finishing what I meant to do...


P/s: Right now I'm still debating on going to Husna's wedding.. Any Poll????
