First of all. Thanks for your concern regarding this entry. Maybe I shouldn't mention about bertudung at all. Trully sorry if ada yang kurang senang dengan entry saya tu. But for your information, that's only my personal view and nothing to do with the racist or bias or Malay or even non-Muslim. Did I?

Did I mention the whole Malaysian wear hijab/tudung? No, right? Or did I wrote something like only malay bertudung? So, whoever wears tudung must be Malay? I think I'm not. You can see out there, not all Muslim/Malay wear hijab. And wearing a hijab does not make you Malay or change your races/ethnicity because there are also Chinese, Indian or other races wear hijab [muallaf /convert].

You think I'm bias towards non-Muslim? You are wrong! Totally wrong!! I will do the same thing if Jaclyn Victor, Suki or Stacy won the competition. [and of course I will not mention about tudung...maybe I'll mention about others thing - ikut kesesuaianlah]. 

I am proud to be Malaysian and I have a lot of Chinese/ Indian/Sabahan friends. So, I know how to respect those friends. For me it's not a big deal since my nawaitu/niat is just for sharing those happy stories. Dear friend, I think you got me wrong - that's happen when you use your victim mentality to interpret!

Pls don't blame Muslim/Malay since this is my personal thought. They have nothing to do with the entry. Just Bark at me.

Well, I think you the one who brings the sensitive issues here: "kami yang bukan Islam bukan Malaysian? orang Malaysia sendiri yang bias, racist. mana tak Melayu jak yang maju. dasar Melayu mudah lupa, makan diberi suap." Hurmm, my entry was nothing to do with Malay or any political issue. This is my random thought. So, who is racist now? Tell me...

Last but not least, you are coming to my house...so, pls respect the owner of the house. Thanks :) 

Your truthfully,

 Sorry for the lousy english - Tuan rumah

Yuna tercalon di MTV Europe Music Award 2012

Hebat-hebat artis Malaysia ni sebenarnya. Banyak dah artis yang go internationally. Antaranya, Dato' Shake, Zee Avi, Mizz Nina,Yuna dan banyak lagi. Dan yang paling terbaru, Shila Amzah. By the way, saya bukan nak cerita pasal Shila tapi Yuna. Kalau Shila mengharumkan nama Malaysia di China, Yuna pulak di USA. Another asian pride! You go girls :)

Baru-baru ini Yuna telah tercalon untuk MTV Europe Music Award 2012 yang akan berlansung pada 11 November di Frankfurt, Jerman untuk kategori "Best Asian Act". Saingannya pulak bukan calang-calang orang, antaranya Super Junior, EXILE, Han Geng dan Jolin Tsai. Namun, Yuna tidak meletakkan harapan yang tinggi dan merasakan Super Junior akan memonopoli untuk kategori tersebut. Owh! She's so humble.

Sebelum ini Yuna juga telah beberapa kali di calonkan dalam anugerah bertaraf antarabangsa seperti 25th Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award dan MTV Iggy's Best New Bands in the World. Sekarang ini Yuna sedang bergiat aktif di US dan seringkali diundang untuk membuat persembahan dalam rancangan-rancangan ternama seperti Conan O'brien's talk show, National Geographic Music, KINK.FM - Bings Lounge, What's Trending dan banyak lagi. Penyanyi Rihanna pon pernah memuji Yuna di twitternya: "Yuna is topnotch".

Anyway, vote untuk MTV EMA 2012 tu akan tamat pada 9 November ni. Kalau nak vote, sila klik website rasmi MTV EMA 2012 . So Malaysian, please vote for Yuna guys :) Saya sudah! Anda bila lagi?

Lately ni banyak pulak saya up entry tentang artis dan industri muzik kan. Tentang diri sendiri? Well, I don't feel like talking about myself at the moment. Hurm, tak banyak benda yang menarik nak disharekan pon kat sini.

Potato Salad - resepi mudah

Assalamualaikum! Hari ni saya nak share dengan awak-awak semua satu resepi. By the way, masa bulan puasa yang lepas saya ada berblogwalking ke blog apeqchan dan ternampak entri dia tentang potato salad, resepi dari blog Fatin Liyana. Tengok macam senang, so saya pon dengan gigihnye pegi lah membeli segala bahan-bahan. Alhamdullilah, menjadi! [memang ler menjadi sebab resepi senang gila kan] Jimat pon jimat :)

And raya hari tu pon saya ada buat untuk jamu tetamu-tetamu yang datang bertandang [kelas ada side dishes! makan makanan western time-time raye gitu]. Sekejap je habis licin and terpaksa buat lagi. Open house kat tempat kerja pon saya buat potato salad. Ramai pulak yang tanya macam mana nak buat benda alah ni [terasa macam top chef pulak..hakhak ptui!]

So, kat sini saya kongsi yea. Tapi resepi ni dah diubah sedikit mengikut citarasa saya [modified sikit-sikit je]

walaupon rupa dalam gambar ni nampak tak menarik, tapi rasanya Masyaallah! Marvelous!

Bahan-bahan:

Ubi kentang [potato]

Mayonis [apa-apa brand pon boleh]

Lemon [perahan jus]

Serbuk pati ayam

Air 

Garam secukup rasa

Daun bawang

Lobak merah [optional]

Bawang besar [optional]

Cara-cara membuatnya:

1) Kentang dipotong kiub. Kemudian dididihkan bersama dengan garam. Biarkan sehingga empuk [tapi jangan terlalu lembut] dan ditos kering.

2) Daun bawang, lobak merah dan bawang besar dipotong/dicincang halus.

3) Dressing: Campurkan bahan-bahan yang dicincang tadi bersama dengan mayonis, perahan lemon, serbuk pati ayam dan gaulkannya sehingga sebati.

4) Akhirnya, masukkan kentang yang sudah ditos dan digaulkan bersama dressing yang sudah tersedia.

5) Siap. Boleh dimakan terus ataupon disimpan di dalam peti sejuk. Makan sejuk-sejuk lagi bertambah nikmatnya. 

 

 

 

Mudahkan. So, selamat mencuba!

Gary oppa nak tinggalkan Running Man!

Just read this news. Shocking!!

 Photo from Runningman Malaysia Fans page

At first I saw this notification from Runningman Malaysia Fans and couldn't believe it 100% as it stated 'rumors only' at the bottom of the notification. But then the KJKGlobal also post something similar to this. Should I believe it?

Here I put the recent tweet from Gil's regarding the issue. For your info, Gil is also a member of Leessang [South Korean Hip-hop Duo] 

Gil's Tweet translated: 

"Hello, this is Gil. I bow my head in apology in regards to the cancellation of the Super 7 Concert however I have to make some last comments as I believe that is the right thing to do and so I’m posting this message. Early this year we finally decided to hold the Super 7 concert and LeeSsang, even thou we only provided them a small bit of help, also started practicing as one with the members and our time spent together was really happy.....

....Finally I will be leaving due to my guilt. Gary has also decided to leave his programs due to guilt as well. These last 3 years were spent sincerely loving Infinity Challenge and being thankful for the love I got from the viewers. Thank you.

Gil-meo"

After read the news from various sources [other than these two], maybe I should believe it. So sad! Really hope it's only a rumors. Gary, don't leave RM because it will be different without you!

게리 oppa, 가지 마세요! 

Shila Amzah dinobatkan Juara dalam Asian Wave 2012

Congratulation Shila! You made us proud!

Shila telah berjaya merangkul Juara Asian Wave 2012 yang berlansung di China semalam. Antara finalist yang bertanding adalah dari China, South Korea, India, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. Shila menyampaikan tiga buah lagu iaitu Gemilang, Grenade and Zheng Fu. Dia menjadi peserta favourite dikalangan peminat-peminat.

Juara dipilih berdasarkan Markah Juri-juri dan undian dari fans. Kebanyakan komen juri-juri bagus-bagus belaka and kalau kritik pon, kritikan yang membina. Actually, saya tak paham sepatah pon tapi kat youtube tu banyak orang tolong translatekan, so akhirnya pahamlah jugak. Saya hanya faham bila the Indian Judges beri komen coz she comment in English - nampaknya kena belajar mandarin la lepas ni :)

Anyway, semua judges beri sepenuh komitmen dan tidak bias serta tidak racism. Mereka sepakat memilih Shila kerana kualiti adalah keutamaan mereka. Thanks Judges! [Minwoo pon pilih Shila- melting]

Dengan ini, kita berjaya membuktikan bahawa walaupon bertudung, kita tetap boleh melangkah jauh ke persada antarabangsa as long as we are talented. Malaysia boleh!! Wah, lepas ni bertambah-tambahlah peminat Shila dari Oversea. Tak Gitu? Anyway, kat bawah ni saya ada letakkan video-video nyanyian Shila ketika pertandingan berlansung. Enjoy people!

1st Song - Gemilang by Jaclyn Victor

2nd Song - Grenade by Bruno Mars

3rd Song -Zheng Fu by Na Ying

So, how? Good isn't it?

Asian Wave 2012: Shila Amzah pon ada, hebat!

Tahniah Shila! sebab berjaya melangkah ke final untuk program realiti Asian Wave 2012. Asian Wave tu apa?! Nak tahu lebih lanjut  pasal Asian Wave ni, meh klik kat sini.

Ha, dah tau dah kan. Ianya bukanlah sejenis makanan-laut-asia atau pon trend terbaru-rambut-gelombang ke apa ke tetapi program nyanyi-nyanyi. Ala, yang macam AF tu..tak pon Malaysian Idol...tapi yang ni tahap antarabangsa la kan.

Pertandingan ini melibatkan artis-artis baru atau berkumpulan daripada Asia, termasuklah Jepun, Korea, Singapore, India, Malaysia, Thailand dan region-region lain di Asia ni. Daripada 30 orang peserta, hanya 12 orang aje yang layak ke final termasuklah Shila! Pertandingan ni telah berlansung di Shanghai, dimana pusingan awal telah pun diadakan dari 31 Ogos sehingga 6 September yang lalu.

Judges pulak terdiri daripada Japan’s ‘Bossa Nova Queen’ Lisa Ono, Korea’s pioneer boy band Shinhwa’s core member Lee Min-woo [hensemnye-melting-terus - sempat lagi tu], India’s ‘Big Sister’ of the popular music industry Anaida, Canto pop legend Alan Tam, Hong Kong’s leading recording artiste Hacken Lee and over twenty top music representatives from the region.

Pada pusingan pertama, Shila menyanyikan lagu “Set Fire to the Rain” dan pusingan kedua pulak, dia menyanyikan lagu feveretnya iaitu ” Forever Love” by Wong Lee Hom [minat gila katanya]. Anyway, suara dia memang meletop sampaikan ada juri bangun lepas dia habis nyanyi.

Memang power giler lah suara dia. Muka pon comel :) Tak percaya cuba tengok tiga video kat bawah ni. Dua Shila nyanyi, satu lagi video nyanyian Liu Wan Ying, menyanyi untuk program yang sama. Ni pon bagus sebab berani nyanyi lagu melayu. Mari-mari:

Set Fire to The Rain - Shila Amzah

Forever Love - Shila Amzah

Bukan Cinta Biasa - Liu Wan Ying

Final Asian Wave 2012 ni akan berlansung pada 20 September ni. Apalagi, jom la pakat tengok ramai-ramai walaupon di Youtube sahaja mungkin. [tapikan, rancangan ni tak ada subtitle malay or english, so susah ler nak paham sikit]

Well, sampai sini dulu yea. If saya rajin,saya upload full video...tapi tu "if kalau saya rajin" lah kan...Oklah, gudnite ^^

Happy 17th Anniversary Sparta Kookie^^

Hi semua^^

Ada banyak masa hari ni, so berfacebooking, berblogwalking dan juga terasa rajin pulak nak update entry kat blog ni. Anyway, today is the 17th Anniversary since Kim Jong Kook's debut. I just want to share the article that wrote by him in 2009.

Translated by jklove_07@soompi

"Such a fast generation change, but young idol stars are pleasing" - Kim Jong Kook/Singer

It seems like a happy memory getting the warm feeling from collecting my favorite artist's albums. But now the value of an album is gradually falling due to the rapid growth of digital music market. This is the unfortunate reality. An album filled with clear and delicate music is slowly disappearing and songs are being reached to the public ears by servers that are full of music files. This is the reality of today's popular music market.

As a singer, I want to let the fans know how precious an album where many musicians worked on together is. But the reality is that there are increase in expectations of a perfect content of music and in comparison to this, the value of an album is falling.

Working as a member of a dance group 'Turbo' and becoming a solo singer later on, I have been successful growing as a ballad singer with 'Han Namja' being loved by people through the internet. Changes in digital environment brings a scary rate change. I have also received a lot of help on the internet but catching up on the world at this speed is pretty hard. I am worried.

It is pretty certain, that being a singer, you want to include as many style/genres of songs as you can in an album. But for now, it is concerning what would be acceptable to adapt into such a fast-changing market environment. So now, my mind cannot find peace.

TV programs that could deliver music have decreased and the flow of trend have become very fast. How to effectively deliver music to people's ears is always the problem that revolves around my head these days.

The generation change in music industry is fast. I feel distressed not seeing hyungs (older brothers) that I've been on stage with. The ones who filled their spaces are; young idol stars. Being on TV programs and stages together with them, their greatness was the first thing that came into my mind.

Different to past idol groups, today's idol stars are producing music that can be agreed by not just teenagers, but people in 20s and 30s. I admire how they could endure many problems and all the hard trainings before their debut. I hope the activities of the old singers and idol groups harmonize well and I also hope to have an environment that balances both digital music market and offline album market well together.

And in those environment, I want to keep making music that many people will remember with their own memories. That is the reason why I live as a popular music singer.
