Congratulations NIRA! (IM HOME!!!)

Huh?! BIAR BETIK?!?!?!?!

We actually won the title? Again?! For real?!

I'm still in shock okay. OMG! WE WON!

CONGRATULATIONS NIRA NYERTIKA!!!

Alhamdulillah....
Berkat kerja keras kami. Walaupun ader la hiccups here and there.. tapi tu somer pon dah abiss..

When I touched down Jakarta, dah on hp... dapat mesej dari akak Lela kiter..

"Kiter menang PAKAIAN TERBAIK OR WHAAAATT!!"

Kiter dah dalam hati "Tak menang takpe. Janji jorjeous (gorgeous) on stage. LOL". So aku pun cepat2 la tepon ni akak Lela pakai hp mak kiter. (Maklomlah, hp kiter ni pakai prepaid. Dah tgl 61cent ajer. Seb baik auto-roam ader. At least ader up sikit.)

"Kiter menang pakaian terbaik?"
"Ak ah. And we won!"
"Wah, pakaian terbaik seyy!"
(Memandangkan Lela dgr kiter mcm tkde reaction gitu.. dier pon repeat la lagik. Lagipon kiter ni tak dgr aper Lela ckap)
"Naq, KITER MENANG!"
"Huh? APER?!" (biar betik?)
"KITER DAPAT PIALA SRIKANDI! WE WON!" (background voice of FISH "3 tahun siaakkk")
"HUH?! SERIOUS KE APER!!? KAU NAK BEDEKKAN AKU KAANN??!!"
(part ni suare kiter dah high pitch, kat dalam Jakarta airport, tgh carik luggage)
"SUMPAH AKU TAK BEDEK!!!"

Kiter pon dah macam nak nangis time tu. Awww.. touching ke aper. Tak ku sangka seyy.. Seriously, tak sangka punyeerrrr...

Kiter pon dgn hati yang dah excited nak mampos, blg ah nenek dgn mak kiter. Tak lei angkat tau. Dah holiday kat Jakarta, aper lagi.. berseronok ah!

Tahniah Nira.
Segala kerja keras dan "sacrifices" yang dah dilakukan semuanya berbaloi.
(Aku luper sacrifice dalam bahasa mayoo aper. heh.)
Alhamdulillah.. Syukur
Sekarang korang2 somer boleh enjoy the "fruits of your labour".
Dah tak yah nak amik kunci kat sports hall dari budak PC (perangai Sai).
Dah tak yah nak mengigau, tepuk2 tangan buat ragam sewaktu tidur (perangai Fish).
Dah tak yah nak siram2 pokok sendirian (perangai Liyana).
Dah tak yah nak terkinja-kinja dengan kepak2 (perangai Caca).
Dah tak yah nak me-laku-kan perjualan mak Caca dengan mee maggi goreng nya (perangai SOOOMEERR)
Dah tak yah nak jalan straight line cam choo choo train nak pegi makan (perangai SOOMEERRR jugak)
Dah tak yah nak terjerit2 cam org tak siuman di bawah bridge(perangai awok2 dan juara)
Dah tak yah nak tengok gong stand jatuh 2 kali (tak nak sebut ah. lol)
Dah tak yah nak nangis2 lagi mcm budak2 emo (perangai SOMER yang sesuai dalam kategori ini)

Dan macam-macam "tak yah" lagik....

Korang enjoy2 la puas2 sebab 1 minggu holiday korang dah terpakai untuk Khatu. Selagi holiday ada, pergi enjoy eh.

Balak Khatu pon dah over. Apa lagi.. enjooooyyyyy...!!!

Mau pah outing?! 30th December? Picnic? Makan malam? Bermandi-manda di pantai? Response ASAP!

Syukur! =)

Hello girls! Alhamdulillah, kita dapat Piala Srikandi untuk tiga tahun berturut-turut. And pakaian terbaik keper.... heheh..




I dunno what else to say because I think what needs to be said has already been said on the night before the competition itself... =)

But thank you all... No matter how big or small your sacrifices for Nira is, you've all done your part. Thank you!






Now, read the verse of the wau bulan... You know what it means.. If we stay together, we can continue to bloom. Insya Allah....

Ready for trainings? No really, TRAININGS?

Muahs~

Persediaan untuk Piala Khatulistiwa 2007

Aku rasa, mesti korang2 somer busy dengan...

Projects
Assignments
Presentations
Revisions
Tests
Quizzes

It's the last week of the term. Aku paham betapa busy nye korang sampai takde masa utk diri sendiri. Kesiaaaaaaannnnnn.....

Tapi kener ingat, we have to prepare for Piala Khatulistiwa 2007. Your names have been submitted and we are to start training ASAP. Aku paham korang nak belajar and all that, tapi we have to remember we have alot of brushing up to do for the competition. And when I say ALOT.. I really mean REALLY ALOT.

Aku nak korang punye co-operation yang sepenuh-penuhnye. Take trainings as a stress reliever from your school work. Seek understanding from your parents just for this month. Aku tau word "dikir" ni dah macam damned gitu. But please ah, kita kener belajar how to compromise.

So, for this week, trainings are on 4th and 6th December 2007, Tuesday and Thursday. For term test week, by Friday, 14th December 2007, or maybe Thursday, 13th December 2007, most of you would be done with most of your papers.

So for term test week, trainings would be on Thursday and Friday. If need be, we would have training on Saturday, 15th December 2007.

After the term test week,which is 17th - 22nd December, training would be EVERYDAY! That is already the Khatu week.Training would start at 12pm and will end around 8pm. Don't worry, we will have lunch together and such so don't get too stressed up just by looking at the times. We are losing out one day that is Hari Raya Haji which is on the 20th December(kambing punye pasal). So I want productive trainings before Khatulistiwa week itself.

Aku tau it's gonna be one hell of a week. Tapi seriously, attendance has been fucked up and I've been giving face for way too long. I do not want anyone not turning up for trainings unless you really come up with a good reason to excuse yourself from training. Don't assume I don't know things so please eh korang.. selagi korang takde alasan untuk bilang/"tipu" aku, aku nak korang attend trainings.

For trainings, wear comfortable attire because we will have physical trainings. So prepare for that.

With that, take note of the dates and I will see you girls in training. Let's strive for Piala Khatulistiwa! WOOHOO!

Piala Raja Dikir 2007

Di manakah puspa yang ku impi?
Di mana niranya manis sekali...
Berputiklah ahai indah berseri
Mekarlah jambangan harum tak terperi

Congrats to Fid, Yat, Im and Achok for their individual schools :)

So let's take this song as a motivation for us girls to do the very best for the upcoming Piala Khatulistiwa 2007. NIRA BOLEEEHHH!!!

Sekarang aku tunjuk emosi....

Satu detik,
Satu tika,
Satu tanda tanya...

Di manakah puspa yang ku impi?
Di mana niranya manis sekali...
Berputiklah ahai indah berseri
Mekarlah jambangan harum tak terperi

Lembut berkembang gubahan mayang
Sama sehayun asyiknya lenggang
Ribuan warna mengutus riang
Harap menjenguk, air mata bergenang

Konon tebal selaput dalam naluri
Benih disemai putik menanti
Detik, waktu berganti hari
Pucuk meninggi menunduk sepi

Maka terciptalah

satu luahan,

satu gubahan...

Satu kumpulan...

Eh... ni dah kenapa ni?

Nak berpuitis pulak...

Maaf... Aku start balik...

Aku bingit!

Mana-mana aku pergi, mesti ada halangan...

Mana aku pusing mesti ada tembok...

Mana aku toleh mesti ada lahabau yang ketawakan aku, ejek aku dengan lidah terjelir, "Kau tak akan sampai... Kau tak boleh... Tak boleh... Tak boleh...!!!"

6 bulan lepas... Aku rasa gini...

"Ohh.. I mailed to him the instructors form..."

"Ohh.. We'll talk about it..."

"Ohh.. Don't worry..."

"Huh? Did I say what I said? Since when did I promise?"

Tak cukup? Meh kita sambung lagi.

"Huh? Nak buat apa?"

"Huh? Nak tanya siapa?"

"Huh? Nak apa?"

"Huh?"

".........................................."

AKU BINGIT!

Aku nak...

a. Angkat kaki jalan...

b. Ikutkan membabi buta...

c. Bunuh orang...

d. Bunuh diri...

"Macam mana kau gilap macam kera nak kopek kwaci pun, boleh ke permata tu sinar?"

"Biarkan... Tengok... Sokong... Senyum..."

Aku tunggu... Aku sabar... Aku buat lirik... Yang pat atas tu.

Macam-macam rintangan datang. Aku diam.

Macam-macam masalah melawat. Aku nasihat.

Macam-macam hal ceroboh. Aku sabar.

Korang sabar.

Korang tabah.

Korang cuba.

Aku tengok.

Akhirnya, PENTAS RAHSIA.

................ Senyum.

You shouldn't thank me.

You are the stars of your own creation.

You can now walk.

You've grown.

You now track your own footsteps in the sand.

You can now leave your trail of legacy.

Me?

I've sticked to my promise.

I've changed people's perception.

I've 1 more promise to go...

Then... It's time for you to make your own promise.

To stick to it.

I'm sorry.

Ain - My heart broke when I read the end of your entry. Touched. But it seems that I've let you down. You know what? Maybe, it meant that maybe, one day, it'll be me playing to your lyrics instead.

Lela - You have always been a dear to me. You dedication is examplary. Your loyalty is true. You should be the one tracking the first few steps, for the girls to follow.

Fish - You are my silent worker. No complains. No sighs. Nothing. You just do your job and never give-up. You are my motivation. And you should be theirs too.

Naq, Saihah - Leaders in my eyes. You will succeed. You will. Trust me.

Liyana - You are next.

Nira - You make me whole.

Every beginning has an end.

This is the end of my post.

Dear readers, thank your for your messages.. Sorry kalau terlambat reply... Maklumlah, kita semua busy dengan hal-hal Nira dan hal-hal sendiri dan yang sewaktu dengannya...

Ok here goes:

Message = you guys were great during pentas... I am really proud of you guys. I was so proud of you guys, that my eyes was filled with tears... That was a brilliant performance. The BEST, in fact... Too bad for me, i couldn't perform with you... I know... Its quite difficult being in design school, having major projects and stuff and things like this... worse when they clash... I have that passion to perform with you guys... but to tell you guys the truth... i can't let that part of me shine through... I just can't... Maybe, because of my lack of confidence, I find it hard to continue... I'll find a way to shine, and when that day comes, i'll shine with you... Love you guys... :'D

Thank you putri... You may not be able to perform with us for pentas but there's always other shows... You're always welcomed. Don't be shy, we're all here to support each other! =)

Let's come back down to reality

So everyone is still on a hangover after Pentas.

Now now... let's get back to business....

We have 3 other performances to get ready for.....

• Inter-cultural Night - 22nd Nov 2007
• Laini's sis wedding - 2nd Dec 2007
• Piala Khatulistiwa 2007 - 22nd Dec 2007

I understand you girls are really really tired from all those training and rehearsals of Pentas but I'm sure we can do it. Everyone has their projects, assignments and what nots but we've got to persevere thru this ok?

So do attend rehearsal for the ICN performance on Monday, 19 Nov 2007. Meet at Koi Pond at 6pm. If possible.. come earlier ok? :)

PENTAS hangover.. lol.

here are some of the pics!






















it was fun performing with you guys! for those yang takde dengan kita pada hari tu, it's ok, more shows to come... =)

thank you EVERYONE!!!!

all the pics will be updated a nira's multiply SOON. Insya Allah! please be patient!

This is just the beginning for you.

It's finally over and done with. Unlike past years, this time, I didnt have much thinking to do. But more of worry. Worry the girls might screw up, worry the audience won't be entertained, worry the show did not work well.Everyone's got their own worries. But the girls pulled thru.

This is not a speech to anyone. Not even a speech to shed tears for. True, Fid, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.And for that, for what I've gone thru with Nira, definitely has made me stronger than before.

Applause received with many thanks to audience who still believe in Nira, whose support is very much appreciated.For those, who came, the alumnis of Nira whom I didnt get to meet, I missed you girls. I missed performing with you girls.If only we could make it for Khatu later this year..But i'll be joining you girls soon. Very soon. As soon as Khatu starts. I'll be sitting and watching for surprises from Nira. And if I do shed any tear, I hope it'll be tear of reminiscence and happiness.

Where burden was felt by me alone, now I'm seeing them sharing the load I used to carry. And I'll assure myself that you girls will make me proud for, now, you know that you can stand on your own feet. Kudos to you Naq n Sai. And all those that has helped. I am not great, mistakes made and learnt from. And I what want for this Nira, is to be better than previous times. Grow from your mistakes.

I've come all the way, not to see you girls falling down and crying hard of regrets. Because you girls are fresh start. And because the time when Nira was only a smoke break for fellow performers, has ended.

My hopes for you girls this Khatu, make me sitting down there proud of you; proud that I was there performing and now you girls will too. Its never about winning. And do not feel pressured by your fellow competitors, because they are just like you, to learn from mistakes made.

Ingat kawan2, usah diikut resmi jagung...

My only regret is that I could not perform for a set written by Fid.



"Biarlah harum jambangan Puspa, natijahnya manis, semanisnya Nira"

thank you

Firstly, I would like to congratulate all of you guys for the wonderful performance.. You pple were great.. CACA and LIYANA stole the limelight.. it was a very fun night for me.. and i am so sorry to fid, achiok and im and the rest for letting u guys down as i haven been playing my role as an R&D team.. i noe i haven been there for nira as much.. not going down for trngs often and ever so often halfway i would just walk out to join my trng at titisan..

but the one week of trng was made to good use.. u guys made me feel welcome once again.. and i feel guilty for that.. thank you fish, nana and roosh fr teaching me the ragams.. shiet! im tearing while typing this..

but my fun time wid nira and titisan has come to a stop. it was a really memorable experience this whole 2 years spent wid nira.. it wasnt my choice to leave cz its my passion to perform.. bt coming frm a family who isnt into performing arts.. i find it difficult to reason to my parents.. and even if i did.. they still think it was a waste of time..

it was a deal i had to make.. i cant deny dat i was tearing yesterday wen fid said next show will be khatu and we will practice hard fr it.. as much as i wana be part of it again i cant.. it was a great pleasure to perform wid u guys.. and im so sorry if i had hurt anyone..

thank you once again NIRA, FID, ACHIOK and IM.. the memories wid u guys will always be in my heart.. never will i once forget u guys..

my fun time performing has come to an end. but my passion for performing will never end.

Pentas Fever.
