Take a break for a Kit Kat or Chit Chat?

Amboi....amboi....amboi!!....I rarely watch this program but whenever I mistakenly watch it I always think of sharing my thought with someone. Well, now I have a chance of sharing it because I mistakenly watched it again recently even though the program was about few minutes to end but at least it reminded me of the past.

I believe some aficionados are really finding opportunities to join the program. Until one ‘mistake’ day I mistakenly pressed the remote control button and the program strike again! --- the entertainment show hosted by this bitchy-ass one guy and I noticed that one of my friends that I knew was in the show… shooting at down under …. no joke!

From the series of ‘mistakes’ of pressing the remote control button that I have made, apparently I see this program does not deliver any message to the public. The program is pretty much into provoking, gossiping, flirting, ‘squid’ing with artistes and showing off their costumes particularly the host, 'simply-made nonsense' laughing, conversing in ‘rubbish’ language and hosting a ‘no-sense and irritating’ favourite game --- bully-wood.

In order to substantiate the money invested, I reckon the producer and broadcaster shall re-look into the format of the program. Rightfully it should serve as a good information and entertainment program and not ‘rubbish’. The program shall deliver more intellectual entertainment contents and art of good usage of language and most importantly, the messages should be well blended with high values and respects to others.

Hah! I guess that is why this guy still could not win any award from the industry. Why? I think you can guess……story no use beb! Jeng…jeng…jeng…..

Another award goes to ……..

What award? wooo….. Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian (ABP-BH) 2004, another award giving event for the oustanding local artistes --- more awards the merrier for the industry and its community will be. The event was hosted by Fauziah Ahmad Daud a.k.a Ogy and Salih Yaakob. They seemed to be professional of its kind in handling the show not only good in conversing with audiences but of course, they managed to make the audiences enjoyed with their spontaneous and in-house jokes.

Well, I am not going to dispute who should win or whatnot but for me the matter is well thought through by readers of the newspaper. What interest me are the host and their gimmicks. Anyway, the event recalls me of the Juara Lagu 2004 which was televised ‘live’ sometime in January this year. That event was hosted by Sarimah Ibrahim ‘Minah Saleh Celup’ (as what she claimed in that event when she was proudly mentioning Vince Chong as one of the ‘celup’ clans) and Najib Ali (a cool dude from Singapore whom I met during the art exhibition at Rimbun Dahan).

Najib was cool, funny, spontaneous and experience when hosting such a prestige event but the partner, the ‘Minah Saleh Celup’ was sounded over excited and made the event in mayhem with her noise --- full with screaming than talking as well as likely to create irritating face expressions. Her tone was just liked she was in the zoo.

What to expect from such event is both of its contents and delivery. As a driver of the long hour event, the host shall play an influential and professional role in delivering the message (content) and draw the audiences’ attention and not to scream at them. It sounds easy to comment than done but what to do? Since she chooses to be in the entertainment and glamorous industry, therefore she must see this as a healthy +ve comment for improvement because she is at the eyes and ears of everybody.

I also overheard that there was a Beyonce of Malaysia and sometimes ago, J Lo of Malaysia and Tina Turner of Malaysia in our local industry --- who the hell are these people....body builders or a group of stand-up comedians? Who honoured such names to them? Why need to associate them with the international celebrities? Are they really talented, ‘open’ and ‘daring’ like those celebrities?

Last but not least, two thumbs up to Siti Nurhaliza Taruddin for her outstanding talent and being able to maintain herself-made popularity all these years.

And to Azman Yahya a.k.a Jinggo ‘Kampong Boy Rider Gang’ for the achievement and creative works that he has contributed to the industry which most of friends are not totally aware and discovered his talents during our study time at the ITM Manjung. He is supposed to be working in the bank or other similar business by now, that is what ‘Suwardi’ asked him to be. Whatever it is …. Syabas and we proud of you bro!!!
