Selamat Hari Raya!!

Selamat Hari Raya folks, did you notice we are in the papers!?

Might not be a big deal to Muuzi, but it was terribly exciting for me and Mahdi. Ok, maybe Mahdi doesn't really know what is happening. But I was SUPER EXCITED for the both of us! haha. Of course this isn't Mahdi's first newpaper appearance, remember the Drypers Pool Party?

Check it out. :)

Mooky

Mundzir Abdul Latif, or Mooky as he is popularly known, is the 30-year-old frontman of award-winning local rock band One Buck Short and while he certainly rocks on stage, he is quite the soft-spoken musician in real life. This year, he celebrates Hari Raya with his wife Ayesha Frances Adam, 27, and with their beautiful eight-month-old son Muhammad Mahdi, at Mooky’s hometown in Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

What’s your best childhood memory of Hari Raya?

It would be when my grandparents (on my father’s side) were still around. I would be around nine to 10 years old then. Celebrating Raya then was so much fun as all the family members would return to the “kampung” and congregate at my grandparents’ house including my cousins and extended cousins as well.

What preparations do you make for Hari Raya?

Our Raya preparations have changed drastically with the arrival of our baby. This year is we celebrate Raya at my hometown so I’m really excited to meet my aunties, uncles and cousins and catch up with them. We didn’t take much time to do the preparations, we’re pretty much done with our baju raya. Mine is black while our son has a little white jubah(robe) which my mother got in Saudi Arabia (where my parents are currently based). Ayesha has a bright blue baju she bought in Jakarta, Indonesia, during our recent trip to visit my brother who resides there. So no, we don’t have any colour coordination this year!

What is your favourite Hari Raya dish/kuih?

A special rendang made by my late grandmother. Fortunately, my aunty in my hometwon is continuing with the tradition so I’m really excited to taste it this Raya. I don’t have any particular favourite kuih for Raya, butkaripap (curry puff) is my all-time favourite.

What are you currently working on?

Right now we are busy organising Rockaway 2012 (one of the biggest rock festivals in Malaysia this year). The last one we did was Rockaway 2009. Other than that, the band has just released a Bahasa Malaysia album called Kampung Glam, and there’s a new video, too. My bandmates and I are also working on our English album that we plan to release next year.

Drypers pool party

 Oh we had so much fun today!

We were invited to the Drypers Pool party at The Club, Bukit Utama... That place is like a tiny theme park for kids... so fun! There was lots of food, games and swimming!

We brought Mahdi into the swimming pool for the first time. It was so funny.

Because the event started at 8.30am, which normally for us, is still considered sleep time. Mahdi was still feeling sleepy, and so while he taking a ride in the little float, he was falling asleep..

After about 10 minutes, we took him out and used Muuzi's natural hotness to warm him up, where he continued to sleep for the next hour of the event... :P FAIL.

Warm and toasty in ayah's arms.

 

Zzzzzzzzzzz....

Fortunately, mahdi later woke up... just in time for the games. One game was particularly funny, cuz a parent had to pakaikan the bibs on the baby... It was kinda unfair cuz all the other babies could sit up, and mahdi was the youngest one and was lying down. :P

Muuzi trying to figure out how its done

Almost there!!

We did pretty well, he almost got third place.. hehe lambat sikit je. So proud of you two! Still we didn't go back empty handed. Look at all our goodies! Yay.

 

Oh, forgot to mention bro in law Taq and family was there too.. tp dtg lambat. :P

All in all, it was a super fun day.... although, when we got home, we had a well deserved afternoon nap. :) Too much excitement for one day, i think. :P

I VANTS IT!!!!

Practically all phones have built in cameras nowadays... so i've basically regarded compact camera's as a non needed item. Their bulky, take up space in your purse and there's no point in them now with phones and in my case my ipod touch replacing their worth..

But this camera is soooo cool... it made me want it. :D

zOMG!!! I'm FAMOUS!!!!

I, Ayesha Adam was quoted, on THE STAR ONLINE.

So excited, Waaaaaaaahh!!!

Before i freak out summore lemme explain, Daryl Goh called me a few days ago and asked what i thought about F1 getting Korean SuperStar Rain to anchor the afterparty event... so i gave him my two cents.

Check out what i said...

“It’s a baffling decision to get Rain. Many think it is a weird combination – the majority of F1 fans aren’t K-pop listeners. Why should the SIC organisers limit the audience this year to only K-pop fans when it was steadily building an audience with international acts in the last two years? In fact, I would rather have some big local acts involved. At least, they represent Malaysian music,” said Ayesha Adam, editor of a local entertainment portal pizzzamagazine, who noted that Aussie punk legends The Living End were the main act at the season-opening F1 post-race party in Melbourne two weeks ago.

Ok, by reading that you know that Daryl edited my words a little, i would never say 'baffling', instead if i remember correctly i might have said, 'I can't believe they got Rain! it's so fucking idiotic''.

Ngeeeeeee... yes i thinks, i need to brush up on my interview answering skills. :D

Not that anyone i know, reads the star anyway.. but still, i got a giant KICK in the ego seeing my name there. I was away this weekend, so i just caught it on the archives... check out the full article HERE

I BOUGHT A DOMAIN!!!

Thanks to GROUPON, i found this deal to get a domain for RM40... if u have known me forever, you would remember my brief domain www.ayeshadam.com (now defunct), which was my online design portfolio. Which is basically useless now since i don't like uploading my work online anymore.

But now i'm thinking of moving this blog to a [dot]com... Hopefully the move would make me revive the passion i use to have to blog, also since im paying for the domain, it'll be a total waste if i neglect it.

Problem is coming up with a solid timeless domain name... a lot of things factor in a blog/websites name.

I came up with Tragic Telenovela roughly 6-7 years ago when i was 18 years old, it was when my life was just starting, mostly broke and penniless, emotional, and rebelious. i had started university and i was in my first overly (of many) dramatic relationship, I had reached out to my long lost step siblings from my estranged fathers side, and i had that core of amazing friends to guide me thru my rough patches.

Well, basically my life felt like a 'spanish telenovela', full with plot twist, bad acting, multiple choices, comic relief and the never ending hope for a dashing 'Fernando' aka Prince Charming to save me from my obscure existence... then i grew up, and realized that life is actually pretty awesome, and i didn't need Prince Charming to save me... in fact he'd be lucky if i even gave him the time of day.

So, now being grown up older WISER! I don't feel the same way... I'm married, and i don't feel that my life would be turned upside down over small issues... i now know that however bad it gets, with a good group of friends around you, and the love of your FAMILY (something i never appreciated before), it gets better.

That being said, i definitely have to change my blog name if i am to move to a [dot]com, the problem is finding the write name that will be TIMELESS, so i can keep my blog through out my life, and when i have kids and grandkids, they can read what a total mess i was, and how i grew up eventually. :P

Any suggestions for good names?

 

Emphasis on GOOD NAMES.

Cringe.

Me and mashi's hobby blog, is now more popular than this blog.



Im jealous by my own blogs success.. 0_o Dang.

Cone Pizzzzzzza! :D

Last night me and Muuzi had a penchant for Mexican food. Y'know, Taco's, buritto's, that sort of thing.

So he went online and found this review of a place called Caliente, in Kota Damansara.. The review was good enough, and the food looked so good that before we knew it, we were in the car on the way to Kota D.

We searched and search kota D, finally rechecking the website for an address. Then we noticed the review was written in 2008, and Caliente's spot has been taken over by a new Pizza Hut Outlet.
BOO!

So depressed and still hungry, me and Muuzi went across the street to try Cone Pizza.

Two words to describe it. YUM. YUM.

I had the Penne Arabiata (which currently my fave type of pasta btw) and Muuzi had the Fettuchini Olio-Olio with Pepperoni which both were quite nice, not too dry or oily. Azlee and Izhan joined us later for some Cone Pizza. It was surprisingly very delicious! At first i wasn't sure how to eat it, but eventually lost interest in looking sane and just attacked the cone like a vicious bird.

All in all, eventho we have yet to get our Mexican food fix, we were glad to have tried something new. :)

Project 500 new moons

WOOT!!
Being the social media addict i am, i was selected to join project 500.

FYI, Project 500 is an 'TOP SECRET ELITE' group of Malaysia's most active social media buffs; so naturally being picked was sort of cool (at first), I had received an EXCLUSIVE limited invite to go to a TOP SECRET BRIEFING about the project in CATHAY CINELEISURE, Followed by a PRIVATE FREE SCREENING of NEW MOON.

Forget the NERDS on MYSPACE, and GEEKS on TWITTER
i get to see ROBERT PATTINSON FOR FREE!!!!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Anyway, i was a little excited to go to the event (movie aside), i have never been to a social network meet, so i was ready to meet some new people, but when i got there to the actual event, i realized that i'm not that sociable at all. I knew no one (except for a few people who i sort of recognize from facebook/myspace but no one that i know personally or even anyone who knew me that actually plucked up the courage to say hi)... and worse, no one seem to want to know me.

Which made me wonder maybe the 'cyber' me is actually more friendly/famous/interesting than the actual me. hmm...
Maybe i'm just not a friendly person. sigh.

Neway after a bit of lolly gagging ALONE up and down Cineleisure i actually bumped into someone i knew, one of Muuzi's bestfriends from high school Farez Reza and his gf Liyana. Later, bumped into Tekong a friend from MMU. PEOPLE I KNOW! YAY!

me and liyana (stolen from her facebook haha)

After a short chat we were ushered into the cinema, to begin the briefing.

Basically, i wasn't impressed with what they had to offer and suddenly being a TOP SOCIAL MEDIA USER wasn't so impressive anymore.

Basically these people were using us to test a new tweetdeck/meebo sort of website.

I am not a big fan of tweetdeck and other social media lazyassed applications. If u don't have time to check ur facebook... Don't check it. It's not the end of the world. Besides these sort of applications suck out the fun of the ACTUAL facebooking/twittering however i remained unbiased until i actually checked the website out.

Given each our own login/password, i checked it out on the spot. LOGIN took forFREAKINever. So naturally i blamed it on sucky phone connection and thought i'd check it at home (which btw was amazingly slower)

After the briefing, the Q&A session was unbearable, listening to TECH GEEKS trying to out do one another with who could come up with the geekiest questions.

GEEK1: What is the refresh rate?
GEEK2: Will it lag my computer? can streamyx support it? (seriously?)
GEEK3: Based on the ATR rate, will the UPI be able to take OIJOHUOAGOMGWTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!????

For this additional TORTURE/effort, i would at least think we would get more than a free movie and a discount KFC voucher.

Good part of this whole experience is easily summarized in two words

ROBERT PATTINSON!!!

no actually

TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!

no i mean

ROBERT PATTINSON!!!

erm, actually let it be

LAUTNER PATTINSON!!!

New Moon is, dare i say a little bit better than Twilight. Mostly because Taylor Lautner is a better actor than Kristen blink-a-lot Stewart, and he made their scenes together more bearable to endure.. sadly everytime Blinky and Rpatz took the screen despite Rpatz being sparkly and gorgeous enuff for the both of them, their scenes always made me want to gauge my eyes out..

I don't blame YOU, robert. It's all blinky's fault!

Just for that i am now officially TEAM JACOB for twilight, but i'm also on TEAM ROBERT in real life. See, i'm so FAIR.

But i have to say one thing about Blinky Stewart, She airbrushes really well don't you think?

Don't Panic!

I submitted a poster on the Don't Panic website.

I've been wanting to do something for awhile now, i may have cheated by using one of my old vectors for it. ^_^ But i promise to do something cooler next time.

Theme is Feminism

Owh, voting starts 22 June 09.
