Obsession....

I've been here 5 days, and i could not stop noticing the banner, the advertisements, the articles regarding the 'BEST'show ever made in Malaysia. Akademi Fantasia!!! YEAAAY!! best giler weyy!! mawi tuh, nyanyi best, felix tuh kelakar giler wey!! lagu dierang nyanyi sangat laa hebat, pastuh dierang nih memang berkaliber.

first of all... for those who didnt get it... i call this sarcasm. secondly, those are the only two people that i know of, because ive heard felix's name coming out of my TV set in a commercial for nothing other but, of course Akademi Fantasia. As for mawi, i saw his name on the front page of berita minggu, and the endless flooding on the chatbox at astro's channel 15. check it out if you havent. it's a great representation of what our malaysian culture is. full of wonders, excitement, and supportive spirit. so full of it, that you may actually throw your remote towards the TV screen so it would stop. and while you're at it, you would probably purchase a rocket launcher from E-bay, and blast off the satelite dish that gives all the audience the great touching diari.

Yes, this time there are sabahans again, as it was last year. i would want to say im proud, but honestly, ive had it. i want to watch akademi fantasia, but yes, i've had it. not because of the show, not because the corporate bullshit i have againts astro's connection with maxis, but just maybe.. i think, and this is probably 90% maybe (i can come up with bullshit statistic too, just to make sure i can convince my readers), i think, somewhere inside me, and god help me, that i think, just MAYBE, is what clear minded invdividuals composed of 'ramai penonton2 belia' also think, the reason i refuse to watch AF, or most people who hate AF, is mainly because of the extreme obsession of AF BY the fan themselves.

there are more important issues to be concerned of in this world, if ur into current issues, you'd probably know that now at least 4 suspects have been identified of pakistani descendants who are also british citizens. if ur into something like sports, you'd probably know right now in the US is the beginning of baseball season, and you should start putting on your Red Sox hat and hope they win another world series just to show that they were always the best team in the 'world' where the past years of many2 games they were ALMOST the best team in the 'world'. if ur into economics, well... then you should try read the wall street journal, or read forbes, coz i dont really know what's current issue on that one. but then there's entertainment. now... AF is in the entertainment business. but dear readers, it is SUCH a BIG impact towards our lives. if we dont watch AF, i could actually hear someone crying out loud 'why oh why is AF not on the air? bodoh nyaaaa' yess... memang bodoh... pasal kau pi obsessed sgt.

if im not mistaken even datin sri hendon is irked by the fact that our community, harapan bangsa, are just way too obsessed with something that is just so trivial, that doesnt really motivate an individual to study, to trigger their minds and actually become an entrepeneur for our rising nation. damn im getting to myself. but honestly people, fans actually fight just to give a stand that AF is way better than Malaysian Idol, or fight their way through a throng of crowd with their kids (heck even a baby) in their arms just to grab that 10 ringgit ticket, so they can scream out 'Felix!! bangga aku bah!!' or 'Mawi!! ko idola ku!! ko nyanyi paling sedap sekali!!' compile all the CD's and actually be proud that you have all those episodes, even from season 1, and memorize their stats, AND the fact that you're over 30 with one kid, or heck even in the 20s, to be overly obsessed with such show. Im sorry dear AF fans, but honestly, a line must be drawn. there is a line between loving it, and obsessing about it. if u find that you wake up the next day, watching each and every reruns of AF, and getting constantly AND overly pissed by your favorite's dismissal, AND, you're over 20, please, PLEASE give ur self a REALITY CHECK!

okay, im sorry, but that's what i think. nak tengok, sila, heck i think after this entry, i'm probably going to watch some of it, just to know who's who, so i can actually cope with what's what, and if some people actually come up with these characters as an analogy, or heck even in spur of the moment topics in meetings, i think i have the right to know some of it than just being too ignorant. but please please PLEASE remember, tolong laa berkadaran, and just dont get way too obsessive about it. my family has actually stopped being way too obsessed about it, and alhamdulillah. the only thing they watch is the concert, which is only once a week, and dont even bring up the topic to the dinner table. very satisfied already.

20 years from now, these guys would probably be in a malaysian version of Surreal Life, and someone who is an equivalent to Da Brat would actually just say it to his or her face... 'dude... you're a HAS BEEN. PERIOD. you could've done better if you were doing real estate business.'

so dear fans, please PLEASE, give yourself a check to find out if you are OBSESSED with AF, or you just LIKE AF.

Thank you.....
