Lawak Ke Der 2 pulokss..!

Geng Concert (Lina, Kayrie and me of course) had watched the Lawak Ke Der Concert last year (LKD). Read HERE. So when we read about the LKD II was going to hit Istana Budaya once again, we got all excited and started to plan for it.

This time, LKD II featured Harith Iskander, JOZAN, Nabil & BOBOI. We were pretty excited as last time we didn't watch JOZAN (we went for OSBON instead), so probably ade kelainan skit this time.

Bought the tixs straight away as soon as it was available via tickets2u.biz. As ussual we took the cheapest one (cheapskate huh!!) at RM43. The seats ade skit berterabur since this show was a hit so ramai org dh book earlier than us.

Oh ya, mcm biasa juga we went for the Friday night show on 28th Sep 2012 and our theme that night was FISH. Yes....u read it right. A FISH. Why fish...? Saje cipta kelainan. Actually last time when we watched LKD1, we met this one lady so daring with her island T-shirt. U know when we went to Pulau Pangkor ke, Redang ke ade byk tcet2 print gambar ikan kan. So that was what she wore. Since she was so proud and looked cool pkai t-shirt mcm tu, we came out with that idea suggested initially by Kayrie. Well, we never miss to set a theme each time we went somewhere. Tema itu penting ya uolsss.. Baru meriahkan.

Back to the show, We arrived at IB a bit late since we were stuck in the traffic. Well what do you expect on Friday night kan.... :P As it was nearly 15 minutes left before the show started, we quickly queued to redeem the tickets and straight went up to the upper circle (nasib baik dh hafal selok belok IB nie :D)

Once got our seats, we were so ready to laugh! :))

The opening act presented by Nabil, and he did a great job that night! If in LKD1 Nabil introduced the show with "I am Sexy and I know it" song - this time he chosed "Gangnam Style" as his opening song. Haha! Comel okeh :P

The show started with BOBOI, ya with new member, Nabil. Their first slot was a scene in a cheap flight - Redha Air and the 2nd was Datin Seekers. To me, their performances in both slot were so-so compared to their performance in LKD1. Afdlin & Harun Salim Bachik already lost their touch and already out of idea. Maybe we already familiar with their direction of jokes so we could predict all the punch lines. Nabil appearance helps a bit but since he's still new in the group, chemistry blum berapa nak ade. Imagine pnya bosan smpai Lina pun bole tertido. Kikikiki......

Jozan kicked off the 2nd show with a scene with three character Nazmi, Nazman and Nazmida (played by both Johan and Zizan alternately). Although the whole story took more time than the other slot, it was the best. Jozan successfully made the audience laughing non-stop! There were times we laughed not because of their dialogue but because of their actions. I loved when they did the lawak spontaneously to cover up things that accidentally happened (e.g: when Zizan suddenly tripped while dancing that he fell off the sofa or when he accidentally wore the tudung the wrong side). It was hilarious! :))

However, there were some acts that I found in-appropriate. Ye la, we have kids and VIP guess.... so ade certain benda yg nk kena cover skit ye. Terutama aksi2 "panas", double meaning language and etc.

Harith came in on the 3rd slot with his stand-up comedy. He was good! I knew I can always look forward for his show :) His stand-up comedy in both LKD and LKD II were equally entertaining. Just love the part he shared 5 things men should know about women in a relationship. Mmg kdg2 kena batang hidung sendiri!!

The show ended at about 11pm. As the previous LKD show, the handsome Hans Isaac made an appearance together with the rest of the cast on stage for the closing.

Overall, we were a bit frustrated as it was not as good as the first LKD and lets say if there is a sequel after this, we will think twice to watch it. Cukup, cukup sudah, cukup smpai di sini saja.... Fair x my review. Hehehehhehe..........

Nak amik gamba pun x excited. Unlike LKD1, this time xde sesi bertemu peminat. So we just took few photos only :

With Kayrie. Ikan dia tertutup kat perut.

Kali ni Lina yg ngelat. Just wore a fish earing. X aci....!!

Rasanya Im the one who committed bab2 menepati tema ni. Sanggup pkai tcet Pulau Tioman tu. BDW semangat Kayrie yg sanggup survey Wangsa Walk cari t-cet ikan pun harus di puji. Well done gals!!

Ok, the story isn't finished yet. It was 28th, so by the time we had a late dinner+supper at nearby stall I was been surprised by a birthday present from Lina & Kayrie. No wonder tiba2 Lina nk amik brg kt keta. Amik hadiah rupanya. One day earlier from my birthday (dh masuk 29th time tu), I was overwhelmed as I never expected that. Nevertheless, I really love the gift. A silk shawl, so elegant and mak datin. Thank u olsss....!!!




-LOVELEEN-

Lawak Ker Der..... Serious Lawak....!!!!

I went to watch Lawak Ker Der live show at Istana Budaya Last Friday (3rd Feb) with Lina and Kayrie. Well sape lg geng2 tgk konsert/live show klau bukan ngan diaorg ni kan.... and this time our theme was polka dots! Sounds fun eh...

A lil' bit about this show, Lawak ke Der (Der means Brother or brader) was a first ever stand-up comedy show in Malay presented the talented bunch of comedians in the country. Hosting the show was the witty Nabil (Raja Lawak 2). They were Jozan, Osbon, Boboi, and The King of Stand-up Comedian, Harith Iskandar that took part in the show. Jozan and Osbon performance was rotated. Osbon got only slots on the 3rd & 10th Feb, while the rest was Jozan.

We entered the hall a bit late (show started at 8.30mpm), where Nabil already performed the opening act - singing the "I'm Sexy and I know It" song, his version of course :P Each comedians were funny in their own right and have their own styles of comedy. I bet U, there was no silence moments during the show since the hall was full of laughter all the time with their superb performance.The verdict? It was totally funny!! We all just couldn't stop laughing throughout the show. Really worth every RM spent.


Pecah perut masing2 ketawa. It was really hilarious! Thumbs up to all!!


*disclaimer*: Taking photo during the show is prohibited.... Kena pandai curi peluang. Wink!


Boboi was great!





After the show ended approximately at 11.30pm, there was a "Meet-The-Fans" session. A chance to see the favourite comedians up close and personal, everyone quickly got in line to get an autograph and took photo with them. (Retis ko sape xnak kan...)




1st met Harith Iskandar. "Your performance was really great. I enjoyed it a lot..!!" Ayat bodek from me :P, but I really mean it. Frankly.....




Next, met Nabil. Mmg pok-pek2 mulut si Nabil x sudah2. Very friendly. OMG I look like a giant standing in the front. (The truth : klau ddk belakang pun besar gak. Huhuhu...)




I'm a cheapskate. Kedekut nk kuar duit beli poster, tiket pun jadikla suruh retis2 nie sign...




With Osbon.... Menggeletar Abon when I called him "Abg Abon". Then xkan nak panggil pakcik kot? :P




Kayrie and Lina turn with Osbon. They're very humble. Sape la yg tuduh diaorg lupa diri tu mmg x patut!




Kayrie with Boboi





Afdlin turned at my camera....



Kesan make-up jd mak datin seekers pun x hilang lg tu!!




Polka dot theme with Boboi. Kayrie mcm ngelat skit coz polka dot nya not very obvious.




Beria2 diaorg nie sign otografff kan? Cayalah....




Mission accomplished




Lobby area





Last shoots before went back









As ussual, we had our dinner cum supper first at nearest stall. Starved since we went here direct from office before. After that, I sent Kayrie back to her house and went straight back home. Happy mood to watch such a nice show. Bravo!!

DOUBLE TROUBLE CONCERT

Excited, at 6.30pm I went out from house to pick up Kayrie at Cheras Baru. Lina also arrived right on time, so we all car pooled with my car to Bukit Kiara using Kerinci Link. So far the traffic was smooth until we reached Damansara area, the first sign of chaosity slightly emerged.

We reached at National Science Centre area at 8.15pm. The area was already concentrated with cars, to avoid hassle in searching a parking, we just parked our car at the road site even the Equestrian Resort is still 2km ahead. We choose to walk rather than berhimpit2 keta parking at the concert area (infact kat sini pun kereta dah beratur panjang). I wondered why the organizer choose to perform the concert here as this is the elite area. Tempat orang kaya main kuda. Parking area was limited and of course people got no choice to park their car properly. I saw here and there the cars were blocking the traffic. This had me think why UNGU (band from Indonesia who on the same day had also perform a concert) can get a place at Bukit Jalil Stadium of course with sufficient facilities and spacious area while 2 Malaysian MEGA-Rock band just got the place that hassle for the fans to watch. No public transport, far and limited space. Is it a Double Standard?? However all these does'nt stop all the die hard fan to experience the greatest performance from 2 legend of Rock band ever!!



Most people came with cars which gave me an impression that most of Search and Wings supporters were already married and came with family. As these band were famous at the 80's, of course the suppoters are among people in the age of 35 and above. Ini sekaligus menunjukkan bahawa peminat Search dan Wings merentasi zaman. Sudah turun dari generasi ke genrasi baru. Dulu bapak minat, sekarang anak pula yang follow. Berapa ramai band atau penyanyi di Malaysia yang sehebat begini?

After about 15mins of walking plus 10 mins berasak2 depan stadium, finally we made it into the stadium, and choose to stand and the centre of the stadium. We arrived a bit late, so we have to watch it from some distance, but managed to snap few pictures of the photos.

As DJ Ismahalil, the emcee that nite announced the opening of the concert, all the 20,000 fans cheered in excitement!



Sharp at 8.45pm, the concert started with the killer song of Double Trouble … GEMURUH! Such a wise choice of song selection to nail our feet on the ground.



Para penonton terus melonjak kegirangan dan turut menyanyikan sekali. Yang mana bawa famili dan sudah berumur, mereka hanya menonton dari tempat duduk stadium. Yang mana masih muda dan bertenaga, mereka berdiri di tengah padang (like us). After that, both Search & Wings took turn to perform & at the later part, again combining performing their songs.

First half of the concert, Search dan Wings came with the un-friendly/un-commercial songs. Only the true hardcore might know the songs. However in the middle of the concert, the killer songs like Balada Pemuzik Jalanan, Isi atau Kulit, Gadisku, Fenomena, Opera Hidup, Misteri Mimpi Syakila, Sejati, Taman Rashidah Utama and Sejati were performed. This time fans were already become histeria. Sampai ada yang pengsan. Biasalah tu, terlebih seronok agaknya.



Keunikkan konsert kali ini, we were just not entertained by a vocal challenge from Amy n Awie,



they also appreciated their backbones as the drummer Yazid (Search) and Black (Wings)and Guitarist Kid (Search) and Joe (Wings) also "berentap" to show their skills and expertice.



15mins with great performance and really SUPERB!!



My most favourite moment was when they performed Nur Nilam Sari and Semalam Yg Hangat (yes both from Wings even they sang in duo)where I enjoyed the most and had it recorded. Honestly even I under estimated Awie stamina in the beginning, I think Wings was more "menonjol" than Search. Awie vocal can still "pukul" and did'nt "pancit" at all. Maybe of the age factor (Wings is much younger than Search) and the song selection. Ape2 pun nothing can compare the 2 bands as they are special in their own leage and consider an asset to our music industry.

More actions :







Aiyo... censored lor!



Photos taken after concert finished

The stage on my back!



With Kayrie



And Lina


My dress siap berpaku2 tue... My eyeliner gone smudged all over bcoz of the sweats



Our saviour, suitable for all circumtances. Imagine if we wore boots or high heel with the 2km walks....



Lina was so excited to take picture with this guy (he and his member one team wore a very 80's attire completed with wig, bandana, thight pants and what so ever). According to Kayrie mamat nie pelakon, no wonder la Jambu kan.... :P



Overall, I really enjoyed the concert. Worth the RM70 paid. Kalau ade yg kurang pun its just when they sang the killer songs in medley. Bukan ape x puas la...

Concert ended at 12pm. After almost 3hrs standing, thinking of kena menapak lagi 2km balik, adoi. Org ramai berasak2 keluar, we bought some drinks and headed to our car. Flatted, sampai2 umah terus mandi and went to bed.

Back in 17 years ago, when the first Double Trouble concert held, I was still young. Never came cross in my mind that the following 17 years, on the 1st May 2010, I will be one of the history of 2nd Double Trouble Concert! To Search dan Wings - Thanks for all the great shows. Lu orang memang otai brader!!



P/S : Konsert UNGU at Stadium Putra only 2000 orang yang datang. Konsert Tokio hotel kat OU yang ada bunkface pun 4000 je. Yang pergi buat konsert serentak dengan otai apahal? Bole bukak sikit mata2 penganjur yg asyik mendewakan penyanyi dr luar. Just to add, Awie did mentioned that they will have the next Double Trouble Concert sometime in June, with venue at Stadium Larkin, Johor Bahru. So for the Southern Rockers, watch out, here come the Double Trouble. I bet U wont never regret!!

The Greatest Event that I cannot miss this year!!!

Double Trouble album was 1st introduce in 1992, a combination of two well known ROCK band in Malaysia – Search & Wings. It was and still is a great album.

Konsert Double Trouble Concert was 1st introduce in 1993 at Stadium Merdeka, Malaysia. After 17 years, this year in 2010 the 2nd konsert Double Trouble Concert will be rocking Malaysian fans at Mount Kiara Indoor Arena, Kuala Lumpur on 1st May 2010 from 8.45pm. I’ve missed the 1st Double Trouble Concert(under age lah during 1st concert), and definitely will not miss the 2nd Konsert Double Trouble Concert.

I was so excited when I received the invitation from Lina. This is one of an oppurtunity that I cannot miss! So far I already gave my confirmation to Lina and she already bought 3 tickets. Lina, Kayrie and me. Looking forward for MAY and I'm really excited!!

PGs Gathering (11th July 09)

Just got back from hanged around with old friends at Old White Town Coffee, Pandan Indah. There were Naza, Haiza n Kayrie. Since it had been along time we didn't met due to ussual busy working day, we managed to squeeze time to chat about our recent news and updates, most about life and partner and absolutely less about work and current global issues. :p Since 3 of us are still single, it was also a match making session or "mencari pasangan". Kayrie was so eager in matching either Haiza or me with her friends. There are also lots of "how to get a partner" tip from my friend (like I don’t know) hehehhe but who knows if it might be usefull. We dismissed around 8pm.

I’m planning to go to Body Jam class tomorrow at 1.30pm with Naza. I can feel that I'm gaining a bit of weight lately and I started to have a spare tyre at my tummy. I got to do something!! Sailormoon will back on track tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now. Good nite pals!!!

Well herewith I attached you some photos taken at the cafe... Ermm I started to think that nowadays it is quite often to see people taking photo even when they're going to Pasar Malam. But there's nothing to be annoyed, its just a current trend and influenced from the new digital technology. It can be a good thing and also a bad thing. But let just mind our own business ok... Ops, Im started to "melalut" and its a sign to go to bed. Da... Cya in da next post.

Pesta Malam Indonesia - 20 June 09

It has been always an adhoc plan. One day before the concert, my friend Lina called and asked whether I would like to watch the concert or not. It's not like I don't want to go. Infact at the very first time when I heard the commercial I was so attracted, only the financial matter that hold me down. You know, held on the 3rd week of the month where what the "employee" always called as "bulan kering", RM60 looked like a very lucrative amount that needs to be wisely spend. However Lina was very desperate instead she also offered to lend me money to buy the ticket as long as I go. Well money really didn't give a matter to her, she just needs a company. Then she also asked me to invite more friends (utk memeriahkan suasana katanya) but only my sister, Aishah who was interested and confirmed to go.

So here it was, Saturday around 2pm Lina picked us at home and three of us went to the Bukit Jalil, parking A (the concert venue) by car. We expected there would be a traffic jam and we might find a difficulty to find a parking, however on the contrary the parking lot was so deserted. The concert area was so empty like there was no event happened there. If it's not beause of the huge stage with banner "Pesta Malam Indonesia 3", I would think that we were at the wrong place or maybe wrong date also.

Stage at my back...



Still x ramai org lagi kan....??



Main sponsor.. TM




The area was so spacious. There were lots of booth selling foods and drinks, booth for the fanclub and sponsors.




A little bit about Pesta Malam Indonesia 3, it was held yearly since 2006. On the line-up were music heavyweights like Padi, Sheila on 7, Andra & The Backbone, Gigi and Dewa. 7hours non stop performance as our favorite Indonesian acts came invading our town! How was that sound. cool ha!


OMG I loved this... we took lots of photo before the concert started!








At BALA-DEWA booth, Lina wanted to buy a displayed banner however it was already sold out!






Lastly Lina bought this one. Kami tumpang guna as a props..




The first performance started right after Asar prayer by the local band AKU. Still not much people watching and most of the people sat at the shaded area since the weather was still hot (maybe because this group is still new, not much of the songs were familiar yet).




After delivered about 3 songs, the stage was taken by Jimbara which was also a LOCAL band. This time people already jostled nearer the stage and the audiences getting more excited and followed together when the vocalist sang their hits "Kasihnya Laila".




The awaited moment, performance from the first band from Indonesia started around 5.30pm, announced by the MC of the day Keeran and Anne from Hot AF!!



Can you guess who was the first performer??



It was PADI who made the opening with the spectacular performance. This photo was taken just for Lina... FADLI I LOVE YOU!!! (Lina dah menjerit tanpa segan silu). Makan hati beb.....



PADI in action



We all were so excited and almost forgot all the heat and packed of the surrounding taht time. 2 hours standing gave no effect to us as right after PADI, it was Andra and the Backbones turn to rock on the stage and when they sang their hits SEMPURNA, all the crowds echoed to follow the song. Well both of the group did rocked!! SOBAT PADI & Backboners definitely will be satisfied!

ANDRA & The Backbones took stage. Awesome...



Andra was actually from Dewa but collaborate with The backbones to experiment with another genre of music which is different from the one with Dewa.



One thing that made me respected to the organizer was their sensitivity towards a Muslim country. We had a few breaks to respect Muslim prayers so takde la time Azan berkumandang, org terkinja2 dgr konsert. We used that break time to buy drinks (well I tell U it' was very hot there) and to relax our feet... seems like it's not just our throat yg thirsty, our feet felt the same too.

See lepak2 dah sama mcm pendatang jugak...



Aiks.. Lina dah dpt member baru! Dr siang....



Membawa ke malam...





Apparently a Malaysian’s most feared object at an Indonesian rock concert is the crowd of excited and unruly Indonesian fans! It is uncanny but not groundbreaking that Malaysians share this sentiment. Indonesian concert fans have somewhat earned a notorious reputation amongst Malaysians who have witnessed them at their worst at gigs. They look and act kampungan, if I may be so frank. On the other hand however, people have every right to be annoyed, not just at the boisterous Indonesians specifically, but at anyone who’s selfish enough to cause so much grief for other concert watchers by blocking their view with banners and dangerously assembled human pyramids. People don't come to concerts to see your backsides, you morons. I did feel like to throw my shoes to their head but let them act that way, for the civilized people like me, I can control my own attitude. But this was not for all Indonesian, it just a few groups that look like a heavy metal iconic who like to create an attention so that they could promote their ideologue (that's what I'm thinking la...)




Ok back to concert. Right after solat maghrib, the stage's setting had change completely. More lighting since its already dark. The weather getting cooler but we were getting hotter. Its a Sheila On 7 turns to perform.

Duta nie sangat2 aktif, berlari sana-sini. Penat nak fokus camera shoot gambar dia.



Very energetic performance.





What I like about this group was their selected songs were really friendly so most of it familiar to us, but probably not for the Indonesian. The heavy metal group that I mentioned earlier began to create a chaos. But it died down as quickly as it started without any incident thanks to the security guard who consistently monitored the audience behavior and the band itself who kept advising (secara lembut lagi tersusun) supaya all the Indonesian behave themselves and menjaga tingkah laku. Bravo Sheila Gang!!!!



OMG, I like this. So sweeeetttt............



Then after about 15 mins break, GIGI started their outstanding performance.





Same like DUTA SO7, Armand the GIGI vocalist was also very energetic with no sign of become "pancit". Consider by his age which nearly 40s, mmg respect habis la kat dia. His voice and performance no need to mention la.. never failed to entertain us. One thing that maybe our artist can take as an example was their way to control the crowds. There was one funny incident (actually its just a normal thing) happened in the middle of Gigi performance. Thomas (the guitarist) urgently needed to go to the toilet, so they needed to hold the show. During this time Armand fill the time with communicating with us, but all the talks he made were so meaningfull, logic and yet interesting. That's what we called a performer. From my observation, most of these bands had show a high knowledge and awareness regarding the world issues and indeed expressed it in their performance.Well done!



Gaya seorang pro.



Lastly yg ditunggu2.... Dewa pula memeriahkan suasana but before that we're entertained by performance of Group Lucky Laki (sons of Ahmad Dewa) with 3 songs.








All the BALADEWA sudah x sabar2 menantikan kemunculan mereka, and there was no surprise to see that they got the most louder applause from the crowds.



Bringing series of hit songs like Sedang Ingin Bercinta, Perempuan Paling Cantik, Meniskus Cinta their performance somehow felt like the shortest among the other bands. Its hard to believe when they announced their last song because all of us still "belum puas" yet. Nevertheless since it was the last song, all the audience pulun habis2 nyanyi lagu Arjuna as a closing....

Can you believe it? After whole this day, after numerous photo that I had took, it so happened in Dewa performances, my battery leh kong. Infact totally out!! I managed to take only 1 photo. Itu pun ganba Once je. Sedih....sedih! That's why I don't have any photo on Dewa performed. :(


Last photo taken... Hot, flatted, sweaty but full with satisfaction!!



Concert finished around 11.00pm then we straight away went home.
