anyway!it was hectic i went there and stuff people were staring but i had my MP3 player on LOUD so i didnt hear ANTHING if anyone said stuff i bet they were

so anyhOOOo

i heard 6 of our dear fellow contestants was kicked out rather roughly OUT of ANUGERAH ERA

as i said.... to any of the ANNOUNCERS on MIX fm please please if you think there MAY be trouble when attending events like this WARN the contestants to be aware that they MAY be kicked out .. dont just say YOU KNOW WHAT ANUGERAH ERA UP IN GENTING HIGHLAND GO FOR IT , people went up there and then got kicked out you know!

this may be a competition for shameless publicity but being kicked out....treated like vermin (even by ATSRO themselves and RHB BANK???)is not what the contestants were hoping to experience in this contest.you do not want us to end the contest with a sour note now do u...?

i do care for the other contestants too

hello hello!

today,some of you may know...that i have joined forces with one Putri Rozita to make shameless fools out of ourselves

And when i say fools i meant it

MATTA FAIR
we paid out tickets..

we were not let in

we were barricaded out of the fair.

they said that they were upset that ASTRO announced something about 'barging in'..when something or rather was paid for and they do not condone the type of publicity we were doing.

no worries i am still going there tomorrow WITHOUT the board money or no i still am in need of a (or two or three..maybe five) well deserved holiday

it was okay when we did get spotted even though we were almost kicked out of mcdonalds as well.(the one in the mall)

wait theres more!


Budget 2008 meeting

we went to parliament and well...we went disguised as reporters

but we had pickets with signs that said 'terima kasih pak lah for a caring budget'

LOL

i will post pics of that later they are all in PUTRI's camera which she bought TODAY!

we also were told that pickets werent allowed in the Parliament area so we skedadled.

u guys at mix better forwarn us about these kinda things next time u know...say la YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BRING THE ISP BUT MAYBE IF YOU WANT TO CHECK LINE FIRST CAN

i bet we may even have trouble with the anugerah era thing tomorrow

but i guess thats a chance the 300 of us have to take.

i only wish is someone in one of us look like gerard butler (yum!) (300 ... get it?)

by the time i got home i was too tired to answer the phone (even if i did,i answered ONE call...just ONE OK!)

time to push it

ten days to go

there is a top ten list and i am not in it to my horror

buck up everyone time to SHINEEE

i can't seem to get my pics uploaded into the photo gallery submission

i dont understand what they mean by 'crowd' when i dont see alot of 'crowdie' ones on the gallery..even when i have taken pics with many crowds and have submitted them ( i guess)

there is still no reply from mixfm officials about my NST appearance

i am still waiting for the rest of my pictures, i worked alone and appreciate thatother peoplehave taken pics for me and with me because well i can't
take pics of me in whole crowds at an arms length

Prolific Tenor Pavarotti Dies

Taken from Yahoo!News http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/47595502

Pavarotti, the literally and figuratively larger-than-life tenor whose recordings sold more than 100 million albums, and whose voice boomed everywhere from the Metropolitan Opera to Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, died in Italy Wednesday after a yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 71.

The King of High C's, for the showiest chandelier-shaking note in his repertoire, Pavarotti was hospitalized last month. Earlier Wednesday it was reported that his condition had taken a turn for the worse.

Pavarotti won five Grammys, earned a night at the Kennedy Center Honors alongside the likes of Jack Nicholson, Julie Andrews and Quincy Jones, starred in his own Hollywood movie, the 1982 romantic-comedy Yes, Giorgio, a flop, and fronted who knows how many local PBS pledge drives thanks to his popular concert videos with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, known jointly as "The Three Tenors."

Palate Palatte

cool looking thingie


still checking 'line'

with some of the partiers OUTSIDE


yooohoooooo

last night was a blast! i went to a party at this cute little place called Palate Palette for a LAPSAP PARTY and as i came in with the ISPC i felt a little awkward!..i was draped in a malaysian flag and i had a huge board walking into a really small upstairs area

i had loads of fun!but i had to leave early because i drove a friend who at work the next day

believe me i was underdressed even though i was draped in a flag.

so at first i left the ISPC in my car because well..i wanted to test waters la so to speak but when the photogs got all roused up when i started explaining i was asked to bring it in

and when i did i was SPOTTED! .. by Serena C's friend who thought it was hillarious and wanted to take a piccy of ..it...i guess... and she said i was the first one ever that she saw!(so strange)

so anyway i had to blitz and leave her after she didn't get my name and ic number,because it was time for my shameless fame lol(sorry i guess she wanted it just to MMS to you la serena)

Anyway there were major photogs there ,especially one from JUICE magazine and he says the pics will be up on the WEBSITE on MONDAY there was also 2 other dudes..one from YOUTH magazine and one FREELANCE ...all three took pics of us squished in the crowd!

so im hoping that'll be okay

BANDAR UTAMA

i was telling them that this was where i FIRST SAW THEM EVER!

man would be great if we ALL got a ride..pietro you can have the whole back to yourself,of no?the boot?

the cool girls who spotted me!

hi peeps! earlier today i went to Bandar Utama after doing a chore.

i was spotted by three people (only!) but they were all cool chicks who at first pretended to pass by me after i had lunch at pizza hut and they were giggling!!!

i actually thought they were laughing at me!!!

but then,one of them then had the guts to come up to me (like i eat people la right?)and asked to take a picture!

so anyway good luck girls knock em dead!

Hey PEOPLE

Hot?You call THAT hot?

hey people!

so anyway i was surfing round to see what the other contestants are up to..
and i was surprised to see what i wrote on another persons blog!

i am sorry to start up an arguement so early in the contest

it is of my personal opinion that rules are rules and the contest asks one to live with ONE cardboard and to take a picture with that very cardboard.

as i saw another fellow ISPC carrier say in her blog - to be constantly,physically with the cardboard at all times!


if RHB wanted to give you 50k they are not gonna make it easy for you,by rules or how the contest progresses..

however if RHB and Mixfm has allowed extra cardboards to be made and (im rather glad the one who did it owned up...even though i did not mention a name because i was not bothered to find out)

siapa makan chilli rasa pedas lah as they say.

i am not trying to start up an arguement but i think an idea like that was downright dirty i can even quote people who were around the grandstand (where i saw your dear bunting)not involved with the contest at all and best of all having heard it the very first time!)say that that seems wrong..they understood the requirements of the contest..you are BOUND WITH ONE CUTOUT THATS WHY THEY GAVE YOU ONE AND NOT TWO or three or four....

HOWEVER, it is to everyones opinion and what the judges of the contest will say.if they allow us to make several more EXTRA buntings like that then i will go and make 50 more...they allow ma....

if they allow us to make buntings just like yours please feel free to tell them to alert the rest of the contestants

i'm sure the other contestants would appreciate 'fair game'

OK with you?

what have you been doing mira????

-->> pic of my sis with the cardboard i made for MIFC and of course..the ISPC.. so cute (no not u pietro)

thats what my dad said when he found out i've been using up more fuel than usual

and my answer was 'having fun!'

and thats what i've been doing!

i didn't really tell you guys what happened to me on MERDEKA DAY now did i?

so anyway i was photographed by so many i could not and still cannot keep track!

i have listed down the ones that i could as posted below but believe me there were many more...the one taken of me in the NST paper, i did not even notice they took a pic of me then AT ALL!

i just hope they did somehow publish a pic of me and also,that they don't completely edit out the cardboard cut-out..yes they tend to do that..the CNBC INDIA newscaster INSISTED i go without the ISPC but i still kept it on with me (i carried it around like a handbag),yes people...i WORKED ALONE THAT DAY SO I DID NOT GET HELP TO CARRY OUT OTHER BURDENS LIKE THE OTHER ISPC CARRIERS THAT DAY....NOT EVEN ANYONE TO HOLD MY WATER BOTTLE OK!!!

there were other ISPC carriers that day..about four to be exact and they all came in pairs...i am very proud of myself for being able to do it ALONE

but i will obviously need help and support and i would like to further thank Avril for helping me out (she's my publicist la so to speak)


so in the weekend,i was very tired so i didn't do much publicising but i will be up and about tomorrow (tuesday) and will be telling you guys more about it!i have more planned to get some jaw dropping attention so keep your shirt on people

mira signing out ... for now

I WAS ON NEWS STRAITS TIMES

‘What are you — black or white?’
Sunday, 02 September 2007, 09:33am
©New Sunday Times (Used by permission)
by Kalimullah Hassan

ALMOST 15 years ago, while on holiday in South Africa, an old friend, then Singapore’s ambassador to South Africa, invited me to dinner at his home in Pretoria.

His wife, a Malaysian from Klang, cooks a good curry and their children, Ian and Bianca, studied at an international school nearby.

Ian is now a doctor but in 1993, he was just a chubby little boy who could not understand why his classmates asked him whether he was white or black.

In a South Africa which was only just dismantling apartheid, people, especially children, were still grappling with a long nurtured world view of seeing humans as black or white.

It was revealing for me because growing up in post-independent Malaya, we were not taught to look at people as black, brown or yellow.

I learned that in that South Africa, you were either black or white; and if you were a Cape Malay or an Indian from Durban, you were brown, one category above the blacks.

If you were Taiwanese, you could be treated as an equal by the whites because Taiwan, itself isolated, was one of the few countries which did business with and recognised the racist apartheid regime.

Therefore, the kids — black, brown or white — in Ian’s school did not know what to make of him. He was not white, neither was he black; if he was brown, he spoke English unlike the browns the kids knew.

So he asked his parents, Verghese and Anmujam, "What am I? Black or white?"

Verghese told him: "You are neither black nor white. You are a Singaporean and you tell your friends that."

Verghese was proud to be Singaporean, though he was known to be equally critical of the island republic’s deficiencies and inequalities. Just the way many of us are so proud to be Malaysians, despite the shortcomings our country has.

And that’s what we have tried to teach our kids — that they are Malaysians, first and always, and there can be no greater pride than to wear our country’s flag on our sleeve, wherever we are.

Whether it is in London or Melbourne, where the three elder kids study, they fly the flag on Merdeka day, and in their hearts, every day.

I had almost forgotten that conversation in Pretoria until a few days ago when I asked my youngest daughter, 16-year-old Leia, the only one of our four kids still staying with us, what Merdeka meant to her.

She said she would write it down for me and on Merdeka eve, she left a purple envelope addressed to "Papa" by her bed.

In it was a one-page note which I produce here, un-edited, titled "Who are we, really?"

On August 31st 1957, all the races gathered to watch Malaya gain independence.

When chanting "Merdeka", nobody cared if they were Malay, Indian, Chinese, etc. They only cared about becoming Malaysians. Our own nation, no one else’s.

Merdeka is what ties all the races together. Every year, we prepare for this day to come and we celebrate together.

This year, Malaysia celebrates its 50th birthday and everyone is prepared to attend the party.

As Merdeka day is getting closer, we all stand together hand in hand, to watch Malaysia grow, as it has watched us grow.

Merdeka is about love, being here for each other. And we are here for Malaysia. We’ve been here for 50 years already, and we plan on sticking around to watch it grow older.

Who are we? WE are Malaysians.

(P.S.) Sorry Papa! I not roiter (writer) like you, so this was the best I could do. Love u.

My wife and I are very proud of Leia and her siblings because they do not seem to have the prejudices and bias that routinely surface among Kuala Lumpur’s chattering class, and they are very proud of being Malaysian.

Perhaps it is because they have so much different blood in their veins — Sinhalese, Gujarati, Malay and Pathan; perhaps because their aunts, uncles and cousins include Malays, Chinese, Indians and Dusuns.

Perhaps because race has never been a major consideration in our family; perhaps because they are what a Malaysia, 50 years into independence, and after centuries of rich history, should be.

And if they are ever asked "What are you, black or white?" they will proudly say: "We are Malaysian".

We hope they will always be like that, even after they start working and are exposed to the real-life prejudices we see around us.

In the days creeping up to Aug 31, 2007, I had engaged in many discussions about our country.

Earlier this month, a primary school classmate, Anwar, organised a reunion dinner for our schoolmates. There were many of us who made it, including a few from Penang, where I went to school after leaving my home town of Kroh (now Pengkalan Hulu) in Perak.

Quite a few came, Zainal Ariffin Khalid, Nahar Nordin, Leong Hong Chee, Chew Why Hoong, Soh Yew Aun, Teoh Teng Hooi, Md Adnan Zain, Azmi Pawanteh, H’ng Ah Lep, Lee Kean Nung, Leong Kok Meng and a few more.

Raveendran Vasudevan, now Rafiq Abdullah, sent apologies as he could not get leave, and we could not get in touch with others like Muthu Karippen and Bhag Singh.

Others like Keow Hock Lye, Ch’ng Chin Hon and Poh Soon Yun were overseas and were all planning to return for a reunion, perhaps by the year’s end.

But those absent were all remembered as each of us recounted the mischief we got into and the pranks we played on our teachers and other schoolmates.

At the end of the dinner, an unusually emotional Anwar, pointing to us, lamented:

"This is what our country is all about. My biggest fear is that our children may not sit together like we do. And we have only ourselves to blame because we did not speak up."

It is a fear that I, too, have sometimes.

But perhaps, we should give our children more credit and believe that they will grow up without prejudices as well, despite the many mistakes we have made in pulling them towards the other direction.

On Merdeka eve, as it has become the custom for my friends and I, we got together for dinner.

This year, I brought copies of The Straits Times pre- and post-Merdeka editions reproduced by the New Straits Times and distributed free (courtesy of Sime Darby Berhad) for every guest.

We were either not born or too young to have read these old editions, except perhaps Datuk Roger Tan who became rheumy-eyed with nostalgia.

And it was a revelation what our founding fathers envisaged for us.

It was a fun night because we were a microcosm of Malaysia, from all spectrums of Malaysian society, and from an era which speaks at least two languages fluently — English and Bahasa Malaysia.

Most also speak a third and fourth language — Tamil, Malayalam, a Chinese dialect or two, Kadazan, Urdu or even passable Thai. And as midnight approached, we made a wish.

We acknowledged that the Malaya and Malaysia we grew up in was inexorably changing, maybe too fast for some of us. But it is a Malaysia which has been blessed with 50 fairly good years, despite the mistakes we have made.

We acknowledged that those who make and those who shape public opinion — the politicians and the old and new media — had become inward looking, pronouncing ethnicity rather than unity, more prone to promoting differences rather than similarities.

We acknowledged that as we grew and became a wealthier nation, we had seen the ugly characteristics which history has repeatedly shown destroys nations and empires — corruption, tainted national institutions, bigotry, discrimination, narrow-mindedness — taking root in our society.

We acknowledged that it was not going to be easy to change mindsets shaped over a prolonged period but we hoped and prayed that those who lead our country would strengthen their resolve to change the country.

We hoped that ordinary Malaysians would not contribute to destroying our country with bigotry, greed, hatred and personal agendas.

We were encouraged by the emergent voices of Raja Nazrin Shah and the Sultan of Selangor and we took comfort in the echoing sentiments expressed by the prime minister and his deputy.

Yet, we were deeply concerned by the cacophonous choir within the ruling coalition, and from an alarmist opposition which is submerged with racial and religious prejudices, and we were concerned by a lawless cyberspace.

In the end, as we toasted our country’s well-being, we decided to put aside our fears, for the day at least, and acknowledge that all said and done, we have accomplished a lot as a nation.

Our wish for our country was that when the centennial celebrations take place, which most, if not all, of us would not be around to witness, our children would toast a Malaysia that had checked the slide and emerged as a nation among nations.

And our children would be proud citizens of a Malaysia that espoused the highest universal values.

We wished that in our lifetime, and our children and grandchildren in their lifetime, would never have to cry over Malaysia. And that they will not look at each other as black or white but as proud Malaysians. Amen.
