2016, It's a Wrap!

2016 IN A WRAP

(1) Appointed as one of Andeka's mainboard

It was one of the biggest amanah given to me this year. Maybe ada lah kot yang kata

"Alah setakat jadi FC ja pun. Budak Econs kan memang terer bab kira-kira duit ni"

NEHIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!

It was more than just kutip-duit-kira duit-thing. Anyway, glad that it was over now haha.

(2) Went for a trip to Penang with Gamelan Gema Gangsa

I was invited by Zati to join their 3 days trip. It was fun, getting to know more people and making new friends. We had lots of laugh, and we do eat a lot too haha.

Thanks for the invitation!

Oh and here are the links for the posts about this trip;

Day 1

Day 2 Part 1

Day 2 Part 2

Last Day

(3) Citra Open Day - The Last Concert 

Here's a pic taken before the concert begun. One thing for sure, back then, I didn't realized that this concert will be my last. This semester will be my last semester in IIUM but I'm not performing this time :')

By the way, I did wrote a post on COD before this.

HERE IT IS

(4) Andeka Busking

We went for a busking session at KL Tower earlier this year. It was a bit tiring with all those training beforehand, but it was super-fun on d-day itself. Plus, it was my first time visiting KL Tower since I came to study here in 2012.

Managed to write a blogpost on this too

(5) Recitals

Here's me with my anak-anak asuhan yang nakal tapi comel(?)

Recitals were held twice in 2016, one in each semester. I did not performed during the first, instead, I was the person-in-charge for Andeka's performers.

Oh and I did blogged about it a little. Here it is

And this one is the latest recital, where I did performed alongside with other senior members of Andeka :')

I've promised the senior team that I'll write a post about this, but emm biasalah pemalas sikit kan hahaha nanti-nantilah.

(6) Konsert 3 Lagenda - Bagaikan Mimpi

Up until today, I still felt like it was a dream. Having the chance to perform on the same stage with Orkestra Tradisional Malaysia and these 3 legends; M,Nasir, Ramli Sarip and Jamal Abdillah, surely it was beyond imagination.

Yelah mana taknya, dahlah basic knowledge pasal muzik pun suam-suam kuku ja, alih-alih dapat offer nak perform kat konsert ni. Habis ja konsert tu, balik bilik takleh tidoq sebab still tak percaya haha.

Anyway, it was one of the best moment in my life and I really hope that someday, my family will be able to watch me performing on stage, tak kisahlah konsert kecik ka besaq ka or even busking.

(7) Show IMWS - Rezeki

Ha ni pun best jugak sebab dia macam rezeki lepas kecewa sebab something.

Betullah orang kata;

"Allah takkan tarik sesuatu melainkan untuk menggantikannya dengan sesuatu yang lebih baik"

"Kehilangan itu bukan melemahkan, tetapi menjadikan kita lebih baik"

:')

Show IMWS in a wrap;

-performing in front of Permaisuri Agung

-first time performing as a gereteh (dah lama tunggu nak dapat peluang ni)

Made two blogposts about this show;

Showtime

(8) 3-months of internship at Dutch Lady Milk Industries

Gambar ihsan google sebab tak teringat pun nak ambik gambaq lembu ni

I was offered a placement for internship at Dutch Lady a week before my semester ended. Masa tu memang seronok betoi sebab lagi sikit nak give up cari tempat intern.

Lots that I've learnt during my three months here. Made new friends, and it was a bit sad on my last day here, but I've managed to hold back tears haha.

I've promised someone that I'll write something about my internship journey here.

So, wait for it.

(9) Sports activities

I've participated in two major tournaments, one minor tournament and a few runs in 2016.

Represented KENMS in handball for KUSEF '16. We've managed to bring back bronze medal for our kulliyyah.

A few weeks later I represented my department, BECS in Econs Sportsfest. Played two sports; handball and tug-of-war. This is a picture of my teammates and I just right after we finished playing tug-of-war. Managed to get bronze for both sports.

Represented Mahallah Hafsah for ISC '16 in two sports, athletics and hockey. I didn't made it to the podium for athletics. Quite sad though. But I was more than happy when we've won silver in hockey. 

I'm planning on writing something about ISC. So hmm tunggulah lagi 2-3 bulan ka ahaha.

2016 also marked my first ever experience in rock climbing. Of course lah it was fun, but penat gila oi hahaha. Balik dari rock climbing tu terus sakit-sakit badan hahaha. Thanks to Nana sebab ajak join. Kalau tak, sampai bila-bila lah takkan pernah merasa apa tu rock climbing.

And here are some runs that I've paticipated this year. Tak banyak mana pun.

(11) I'm feeling 22~~~

Came back from an exhausting day on 17th November just to find out these sweet little surprises that my friends had made for me. Couldn't even thanked them enough.

Terharu beb :')

And I can say that Abang Harith's homecoming to Andeka was one of the best birthday gifts that I've ever received.

(12) End of Niche Gamelan course

I'm taking a two-years niche gamelan course since my second year in IIUM. After four kind-of-exhausting semesters, this course has came to the end.

Seronok laa sikit sebab dah tak payah kelam-kabut pi training room tapi sedih laa jugak since we've been together for four semesters.

Bye gais. It's my pleasure to meet all of you.

In short, 2016 is a year full of colours. I pray that I'll be more successful in 2017.

And I pray the same too for those who are reading this :)

Show Gala Dinner IMWS 2016 : Showtime!

[Sambungan dari Prep Story ]

After all the trainings and what not, akhirnya tibalah hari yang ditunggu-tunggu.

It's showtime baybeyyyhhhhh!!!!

Pagi tu semua tengah bersukaria bergolek-golek kegirangan kat bilik hotel lagi hahaha sebab pagi tu memang free. Tapi team paciak dah ada kat sana dengan Fiqa sebab depa dah kena main pagi tu.

Team paciak

Tengahari tu kami siap-siap pi PWTC sebab nak lunch. Hehe lunch free kot takkan nak lepaskan ye dak. Sepatutnya ada soundcheck dengan rehearsal lepas solat jumaat. Sepatutnyalah. Tapi taktau lah apa yang pihak management silap, last-last soundcheck delay sampailah lepas asar.

So cerita dia memang tak sempatlah nak buat full rehearsal bagai. Sebab soundcheck tu pun sebenarnya dah makan masa yang lama.

Muka-muka kebosanan nak tunggu soundcheck start

Received a visit from them. Katanya, datang nak bagi semangat kat semua yang terlibat.

Thank you Umar, Ayu, Sheera, Raihan sebab sudi datang jauh-jauh melawat kami.

Getting ready for soundcheck

Finally soundcheck session has started

Here's a lil sneakpeak of our soundcheck session thanks to Kajai yang rakam

Repertoire for IMWS Gala Dinner Show;

Overture Star

Laksamana Raja di Laut

Zapin Pusaka

Habibi Ya Nur Ain

The Moon

Kurik Kundi

Galang Maya

Lepas dah settle soundcheck dengan quick run through, kami cuma ada masa sat ja untuk makan malam, lepastu nak lari balik hotel untuk bersiap, lepastu lari balik ke PWTC untuk show. Masa ni tak pikiaq lagi pasal nervous. Dok pikiaq sempat ka tak nak dinner. Dah lah aku ni jenis yang makan slow macam siput lol.

Lepas makan tu, semua kelam kabut macam ribut lari balik hotel. Nasib baiklah kostum show dah iron siap-siap malam sebelumnya. Macam ribut semua orang mandi, dengan nak belit shawl, nak mekap lagi hahaha. Tapi last-last semua sempat ja sampai PWTC balik.

Time ni tengah ready atas stage, sementara nak tunggu VVIP dengan tetamu kehormat yang lain sampai.

Acah-acah live update sikit sebelum show

Cuba teka siapa VVIP?

Taraaa....

Permaisuri Agung Tuanku Hajah Haminah. Ha jangan main-main tau. Once in a lifetime ja kot dapat chance nak perform depan Permaisuri Agung.

Nervous and stage fright started to kick in. Fuhh berdebar. Tiba-tiba ja MC announce tetamu semua dah sampai and semua orang be like

"Hah!! Dah sampai??? OMG OMG'

Disebabkan show ni takdak siapa record, so taktau laa macam mana bunyi dia kan haha. Tapi team paciak yang tengah duduk makan kat meja belakang tu ada laa jugak tangkap gambar sikit-sikit masa kami tengah perform.

Spotted myself smiling there sebab tengah stage fright teruk sampai takleh nak main betul-betul.

Antara gambar yang team paciak tolong tangkapkan.

Akhirnya habislah segala repertoire. Dah boleh tarik nafas lega hehe.

After show obligatory photography session

A big shoutout to our PIC; Syafiqa Rozaidi. You da best!

Lepas settle tangkap gambar, semua orang tolong-menolong angkut instrumen dari Dewan Merdeka tu pi naik ke tingkat empat nak simpan kat satu bilik khas. Lepas dah penat-penat semua, kami pun jalanlah balik ke hotel. Ada yang ajak pi makan mamak lah apa lah. Kami singgah kfc sat tapau burger dengan cheesy wedges pastu balik makan kat bilik hehe.

Malam tu semua tidoq tak ingat dunia sebab terlampau penat hahaha.

Originally, we were told to stay there sampai hari last IMWS, which is on Sunday. But again, taktau kat mana silap dia, kami hanya stay sampai Sabtu ja. Tengahari tu, semua kelam kabut kemas barang nak checkout.

Lori angkat barang sampai petang. Jadi sementara nak tunggu lori sampai nak angkut barang, kami pun pi lah berjimba sat kat Sunway Putra Mall. Dah dekat kan? Takkan nak lepaskan peluang hihuhihu. Maka bertebaranlah semua orang mencari tempat makan etc.

Kami pilih nak lunch kat nasi ayam penyet entah apa nama restoran ni tak ingat haha. Time ni aku takdak sebab pi beli chatime hehe.

Oh here's a (decent) picture of me. Jadi subject untuk test kamera Jai.

Tengah dok syok berjimba kat situ, tiba-tiba dapat mesej kata lori dah sampai. Ha kelam kabut semua pi PWTC nak load barang dalam lori. Dah siap load, kami pun bertolak lah balik UIA naik kereta Nisa.

Babai PWTC. Kami balik duluuuuuu~~

Kami sampai UIA dalam pukul 5 lebih macam tu. Lambat sikit sebab ada tersesat sikit dengan jalan boleh tahan jammed jugak laa. Lori sampai dulu dari kami. Memang tak sempat nak tolong unload barang. Masa tu sangat-sangat berterima kasih kat ahli-ahli Andeka yang lain sebab sanggup mai CAC untuk tolong unload barang.

Kamsahamnida! Semoga Allah balas jasa kalian.

And with that, habislah cerita show ni. Ni lah first show besar yang mana aku kena jadi gereteh. Dia punya stage fright tu boleh tahan teruk jugak. Ada laa menggigil sikit tangan tu hahaha. But it was a very nice experience and aku sangat bersyukur dapat peluang macam ni.

Nanti esok-esok boleh cerita kat cucu;

"Cu, kalau cu nak tau, tok hang ni dulu pernah perform untuk Permaisuri Agung. Ha, hang toksah dok buat lekeh kat tok hewhewhew"

Thanks mainboard sebab bagi kepercayaan ni.

With that, byebye~~~
