Update 26-10-2007 (Raya Beats - P. Ramlee - My Call)
I’m sitting here wandering what to do. I’ve been blogging all my life and all about my life that it has been made public and known to everyone who stumbles upon my blog. Privacy is no longer an option when you’re made known who you are. Nevertheless, I’m not complaining. It’s too late to turn back the time, and not that I want to even if I could.
Lets see… the last entry was about the two loooong drives back to the village to celebrate Hari Raya. That was one long, or make it two, days… It was Raya. Throughout the years, this will be how it will be as long as orang tua-tua still around. Going to the villagers to say hello and minta maaf for all the terkasar bahasa all this while.
Then, there was that whole Raya Beats that I won from FlyFm. Yes! I won at it… Does it really come as a surprise to you? I hope not…
You see, in order to win a contest, you HAVE to HAVE determination. It’s like work but also a bit of luck won’t hurt. What happened was that I had waited for the que to "sms" the radio station. The prize money had snowballed to RM600 for Non-Celcom and RM900 for Celcom users. The night before, I searched throughout the internet for the Raya songs from everywhere. Compiling them and bringing them to work, I listened to FLY. All the while, I was sms-ing before the que to sms. Pathetic? Well… I was determined to win the cash!
So… after about 50 sms BEFORE the que to sms… and about 20 more after que to sms… They had called! Interestingly enough, it was lagu Dendang Perantau by P. Ramlee. That day was also the day my boyfriend went to get those P. Ramlee musical tickets.
I won. RM900. Alhamdullillah. *winks*
Then… on Saturday, 20th October 2007, me and my Chenta Hati went to Istana Budaya to watch P. Ramlee the Musical.
Review of P. Ramlee Musical :-
This acclaimed musical, the show of the year, was starred by Sean Ghazi (P. Ramlee), Datuk Siti Nurhaliza (Azizah) - as guest star, Atilia (as Junaidah), Melissa Saila (Norizan), Liza Hanim (Saloma/Sally) and Infinates (Paparazzis) alongside with many others who made the musical an interesting and funny musical.
The Musical begins with Remy (P. Ramlee) in the living room with Sally, reminiscing P. Ramlee’s time. Such a sad beginning as KL was raining heavily.
Blast to the past, we see P. Ramlee as a kid, determined and had fallen in love with a girl whose parents were rich, name Azizah. He insisted that he could cipta lagu for Azizah.. and that’s when he got discovered to be a talent.
He left Azizah and went to Singapore untuk mengejar cita-cita. He started of small and had made it to be a director of many box office movies. Along the line, he married Junaidah, but in fact he was in love with Junainah (the younger sister). They divorced later when Junaidah could not handle his fame and women wooing.
He then married Norizan. Who had then took care of P. Ramlee until some rumours about her being disloyal came to knowledge. They divorced.
P. Ramlee finally met with Saloma. The meeting and their percintaan was so cute and funny that everyone in the theater was enjoying the moment. Laughter and smiles breaks out every few seconds.
Meanwhile, Singapore was no longer with Malaya (which had became Malaysia), and hence… P. Ramlee was sent off to KL.
That’s when they come back to the beginning.
The musical was superbly done. Me and my Chenta Hati was so impressed and happy to have gotten the chance to watch it. Thank you sayang.
Now we come to the last update :-
My Call to the BAR!
Nothing could describe how relieved I felt when the three main people plus the judge had said "no objections" and also " Dengan kuasa-kuasa…"
My parents and my Chenta Hati was there to hear my speech. So was Kabir. The rest of my friends were busy with their events… and I don’t blame them for not coming. Totally understand. Either way, I had the utmost happy feeling of being call-ed & Robe-ed by my Master.
I’m a lawyer now. Phew. That’s a relieve. What next? Oh yeah… my operation. Update on that LATER. Got to go to hospital. Visiting someone…
